This City-Building Game Can Affect Reality

Chen Jun takes over the resort his grandfather left him. Due to poor facility planning, business has always been mediocre.

While fretting over it, he discovers a new save file has appeared out of nowhere in the city-building game he's played for over 3,000 hours. It recreates the resort on a 1:1 scale and can even affect the real world.

[Tip: Organize your city's traffic so it can run smoothly.]

There's a T-junction at the entrance to the resort. With no left-turn lane or traffic lights, traffic jams are a daily occurrence.

The average person thinks: “Install traffic lights or widen the junction.”

Veteran gamer Chen Jun thinks: “Use the existing guardrails to build a central divider, then add U-turn openings where visibility is good. It'll cost less and solve the core problem as quickly as possible.”

[Tip: There are too few functional buildings in the city, lowering resident satisfaction.]

Using blueprints provided by the game, Chen Jun builds specialized structures on a grand scale.

Girl with a disability: “I can grind my way to becoming a legendary carpenter, too?”

[Tip: A chemical plant upstream is discharging wastewater, polluting the resort's river.]

Chen Jun quietly gathers evidence and brings the culprit down in one fell swoop, then buys the long-term land-use rights at a low price.
