I Have a Holographic Sanatorium City

The full-dive historical fantasy game "Fengya" boasts an exceptionally free-form gameplay experience. Gu Tu didn't believe it. When she met the emperor, she casually remarked:

"I want to manage a town!"

"Fine. You have one year. If you can't do it, you're out."

The next second, she appeared in front of a dilapidated city gate.

"They can actually do that?"

A new version, new levels, and a new map bring a new town.

Player A: [The food is incredibly awful. Steamed buns are the best thing in the world!]

Player B: [That blacksmith's gone crazy again. He killed himself, which is bad enough, but he took me down with him!]

Player C: [Help, does Fengya have no artists? Why do all the outfits look like they're straight out of a tacky punk fashion show?]

Gu Tu fell into thought. "Advisor, why does it feel like more and more NPCs are coming to Huanhua County?"

Dongfang Shu, one of the culprits: "Maybe they're here to recuperate."

Gu Tu: "?"

At first, nobody paid any attention to this county, but it climbed all the way to first place on the town rankings.

Players: Weren't we all supposed to give Huanhua County bad reviews? Why did you all vote it into first place!?

Players who settled there: It's all true, but let me be the one to suffer through this. (doge.jpg)

Then the battle for the main city began.

Only then did the players across the server learn that Gu Tu, who had been "away from the game for ages," had built Huanhua County herself.

As the enemy army approached the city, the local NPCs stopped pretending they were ordinary people~

The attacking players despaired: Who can I even fight? Who can I beat? Why are all the bosses from the neighboring game here? Don't they have jobs???

The settled players were delighted: What other surprises do you have that I don't know about, Your Majesty!

Gu Tu: Quite a few, I think?

[Reading tips]

1. The author is making up the game as they go. This is a fictional modern setting, roughly in the early days of full-dive games (?). The main storyline is town management.

2. It's normal if the game mechanics seem familiar (it's a big mix of everything), and it's also normal if they seem unfamiliar (there are tons of author-invented details).
