Volume 10: Pride and Prejudice in the City-State Chapter 17: Everything under Player Rule (Part 1)
After entering the city, Li Lin had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
It's not that everything here is familiar, but it's like playing the game too many times and finding all kinds of common points, with another degree of familiarity between fantasy and reality. It's like the product of a dream has appeared in reality, and the words are on the tip of my tongue, but I can't say them. It's like something is blocking my chest, making Li Lin look at the familiar but ambiguous houses on both sides of the street impatiently, not knowing what to say.
"It's like a fantasy rural worldview that is created by combining a bunch of fantasy works together, full of a certain kind of fake and artificial inferior atmosphere, but it also feels like it is indeed like this, but no matter what, I feel that something is wrong, so I hold it in my heart and don't know how to say it. Is this the feeling?"
"Yes, that's how it feels... No, how did you know?"
“Because I think that’s the way it should be.”
Looking at the yellow mud and red brick walls that were arranged in an orderly manner but made of inferior materials, former female anchor Alice raised her eyebrows.
It can be seen that the planner of this town seems to have learned some relevant management knowledge, but when he was planning, he must have drunk two taels of Erguotou, then lay on the table, held a pen in his mouth, drew a crooked circle on the drawing paper, and then spit on it, giving off an inexplicable sense of frenzy.
The whole street didn't look straight, nor did it have a whole arc. Instead, it looked like a drunk person had laid out a crooked cobblestone road that looked particularly strange and was even more strange to walk on. It was even easy to be misled by the arc if you weren't careful walking on the street. Li Lin saw with his own eyes that a dwarf was chatting with the dwarf next to him, and as he walked, he started walking sideways like a crab.
The architectural style next to it is also speechless. Although it is a medieval style with yellow mud walls, it has a layer of clear glass windows on the side of the street, and there are two large iron plates next to it to prevent thieves at night. I didn't pay attention to the red roof tiles at first, but later I found that they were ancient Chinese glazed red tiles, not the pottery tiles I imagined. And I don't know who had the sudden idea to sculpt a little dragon to indicate the identity of this thing. The flying railings and brackets of the imperial palace appeared on a yellow mud house. Li Lin really didn't know how to evaluate this mixed style.
Even the owner of the store looked dead. He placed a 21st century style rainbow beach chair against the wall, staring at the Chinese-style ceiling with lifeless eyes. He looked like he had been raped by a hundred big men. He looked completely lifeless.
"I always feel that the people in this city are living in dire straits..."
Looking at a golden-haired elf with a shaved head and a look of humiliation passing by, Li Lin finally couldn't help but wanted to ask the former female anchor next to him what was going on.
There seems to be something wrong with this city. How come everyone is living in such a mess? Although there seems to be a lot of material wealth, after all, there are some fruit stalls and carts on the street, which means that the people here at least have enough extra consumption, but the cultural environment here is weird no matter how you look at it.
Just like the low-quality fantasy-style village city, Li Lin felt strange looking at the residents here, as if he saw a group of people who were raised to entertain the players. In short, they didn't look like serious people. Li Lin felt that there might be something wrong with these people. It's not that they were depressed or bullying men and women. How should I put it? Although everyone looked happy and full of energy, they looked tired no matter how I looked at them.
"It should be because the players are in charge here."
For some reason, Alice magically got a few fruits from the fruit stand in just a few words. After giving one to Li Lin, she ate it and said:
"I heard that this place used to be quite ordinary, just like a simple rural town, without even a few magic awakeners. Then, for some reason, these players came here and occupied it as a base. It's been about half a month."
"These players are developing normally in other cities, but since this is the territory of Wuwei Alliance, those PK players are only thinking about finding trouble with other players, so there is no one to manage the development here. And the remaining allies don't want to make Wuwei Alliance bigger or anything, everyone is secretly making trouble for it, and trying to prevent those illiterate people from seeing it, and finally it becomes like this."
"I heard that the censors are based on the parliamentary system, and the military is based on the three provinces and six ministries system. Other places also have effective systems from different eras, and then everyone votes together democratically for elections. It is said that no one has succeeded even once so far. The architectural style is also based on the players' wishes. Whoever likes a certain style can do it by themselves. Just make one that looks good. And because of the problem of democracy, everyone can only choose a part to decorate. In the end, it became the current architectural style. The residents did protest, but it didn't have any effect."
After all, they are players. What’s the point of what the NPC says?
That's why I look so energetic. Living here is actually quite tiring.
Alice shrugged and took a bite of a large piece of the apple-like fruit, her face full of curiosity about this ecosystem.
"Besides, the players in these places are actually very rich. Sometimes, for the sake of face, they would rather pay money to make things better, so the living environment of these people can't be said to be too bad, but it's not much better. After all, it's a messy living environment. Fortunately, the level of adaptation to human life is very fast, and they have adapted ... By the way, don't you want revenge? The fortress is over there, are you going to tear it down?"
"Yeah……"
I'm not in a hurry, I can just take a walk.
Taking a look at the white bastion, Li Lin raised his eyebrows.
A drop of dark blood quietly fell from the fingertips , and it drilled into the soil flexibly as if it had life, and moved towards the bastion.
If you act rashly, you won't be able to achieve the best results. Li Lin found a very interesting thing in Yin-Yang magic that can be combined with his own system, but it just takes a little time, so there is no problem with just strolling around now.
