The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 486: Interracial Customs Girl Massage Parlor (asking for monthly ticket)
"Good afternoon, dear fellow citizens!

After yesterday's "Midday News", we received a large number of suggestions from enthusiastic citizens on the [city expansion] plan.

We are overwhelmed by everyone's enthusiasm.

In the past 24 hours, we received more than 600 million emails from citizens, including a large number of creative ideas that we had never imagined.

Of course, there are also many ideas that are difficult for us to understand and even seem unlikely to be proposed by humans.

For example, ideas like [mechanical whale funeral home] and [anti-gravity garbage disposal plant].

We sincerely advise all residents: try not to seek answers from not-so-intelligent AI on such issues.

But we did what we said. After eliminating all the options that seriously violated the law and moral bottom line and the very few options that satisfied personal weird XP, the remaining 180 options mentioned by multiple users were integrated here.

The final 10 shortlisted projects will be decided by public voting.

After the projects are selected, they will be built in the order of votes received.

(To avoid serious vote splits, the options have been adjusted and some highly similar ideas have been combined into a single option)

When players saw this announcement, their first reaction was—

“Can you show us the eliminated options?”

"It's not that I want to break the law, I'm just curious about those niche XPs."

"Is there a building that, once built, will cause the city to be closed down?"

……

After a round of complaints, everyone clicked on the voting link.

Because there were too many options, the voting functions of major social networking sites could not accommodate them all, so the operation team had to put the voting in their own Mengjin.

Links from multiple announcements around the world will be directed here.

This also has an advantage: it can verify player accounts and ensure that every voter is a Dream Building user, rather than a mere spectator.

After opening the vote, the first option made everyone a little confused:
"Twin Towers?? Are they the Twin Towers I was thinking of? They really are!"

"Is it necessary? The city of Mansheng has no shortage of tall buildings. Do we really have to build two more?"

"I got a 0.1 second better result in the game of guessing the nationality of the nominees for the [Twin Towers], you can try it too."

……

"This is so funny. How obsessed is Lao Mi with these two towers?"

Orange Juice scoffed.

But when he scrolled down and saw the second option beyond the diagram of the Twin Towers, his laughter was suddenly choked in his throat.

[Northern Wei Yongning Temple Pagoda]
He was a little unfamiliar with this option.

But under the options, there is also a brief introduction:

[The Yongning Temple Pagoda was first built in the first year of Xiping (516 AD). Its name comes from the "Book of Documents" "Qi Ning Wei Yong". The tower has nine floors and 130 golden bells are hung. When the wind blows, the sound can be heard for ten miles.

At 147 meters high, it was the tallest building in the world at the time, known as the crown of a thousand temples and the tallest wooden high-rise building in the world's ancient history. It was destroyed by a fire caused by a lightning strike in the third year of Yongxi (534 AD).
In addition to the introduction, there is also a concept map restored using CG technology.

When Orange Juice saw this picture, he suddenly understood why the players of Lao Mi were obsessed with the Twin Towers.

——At this moment, he thought of many buildings!
Afang Palace, Mogao Grottoes, Yuanmingyuan…

He also wants to see it in the virtual world!

It’s a pity that these three are not “buildings” but “building complexes”.

Not only is the scale staggering, but a lot of data has also been lost, and it is simply not something that a single development team at Dream Building can restore.

Orange Juice has some predictions for this vote.

Sure enough, when I scrolled down, I saw many buildings that I had seen in books and had been destroyed in reality appearing as options.

With just a quick look, you can see the complete version of the Colosseum, the Temple of Artemis, the Mausoleum of Mausolus, the Colossus of Apollo, and other options.

Obviously, these cultural symbols have received a lot of votes from players.

But apart from Xia Kingdom’s own ancient buildings, Orange Juice had little interest in anything else.

Just vote for Yongning Temple Pagoda and continue scrolling down - each user can cast 10 votes.

After skimming over the previous "reproduction of ancient buildings" content, the options finally become interesting!

[Cat Girl Version Cat Cafe]
[Mixed Bathing Hot Spring Resort]
[Interracial Massage Parlor]
[Izumo-style bubble bath shop]
[Girls Sumo Arena]
……

All kinds of places that look a bit unremarkable at first glance.

and their gender-reversed versions—if any.

Orange Juice's eyes suddenly lit up!
He first voted for [Interracial Massage Parlor] without hesitation, and then began to hesitate between the other options.

He suddenly felt that 10 votes seemed not enough!
Only after being urged by fellow netizens did he continue to scroll down.

Then, he saw something even more outrageous—

[World Tree]
“What the hell?” Orange Juice blinked and leaned closer to take another look in disbelief.

"The World Tree?"

"Is it the world tree I imagined? Is it the world tree in the fantasy novel where a group of elves live?"

He was still in shock, but Qihuahua was already on the good side. On the one hand, he was frantically campaigning for this option.

"This is it! Please help me vote for this! Please!!"

"Don't you think that the ecology of this cyber city is a bit too bad?"

"Some green!"

"Didn't you say that there are old people and children coming? More green is good for the body and mind!"

“I want to live in a tree! I can open the window every day and see flowers, birds and the sea.”

"I really beg you! Please vote for Yggdrasil! I'll do anything!"

Heroic Sniper and Huanyue are also campaigning for this option.

But they don’t care about greening or anything, their minds are full of “let’s get some elves”.

This option received a surprisingly high vote rate among purely casual players.

Many people think that the central square is too spacious and is very suitable for planting a super big tree.

Below this option, there is another very strange option, which also received a very high vote rate:

[Vertical Farm]
This will be a large farm with 50 floors, capable of growing a variety of common crops.

Further down, there are [Lake], [High School Campus (Anime Style)], [Big Data Dating Agency], [Rocket Launch Center]...

There are all kinds of weird things.

Hundreds of thousands of people even voted to put a huge sculpture in the central square that could be seen by the whole city.

They just disagreed on the specific image of the sculpture.

At least half of them wanted to put the statue of their virtual wife here.

The other half hopes to place a statue of Xu Meng.

But this was not out of admiration - maybe some were respectful and grateful, but more people wanted to see Xu Meng bowing and apologizing.

They even named the sculpture [Private Marseille!]
When seeing this option, a group of netizens burst out laughing on the spot.

When you are happy, you will subconsciously think about voting.

But after clicking on the invalid vote, I realized that all 10 votes had already been used up.

180 options, that's too many.

Many of the options are the kind that you really want at first sight, and the votes are used up in the blink of an eye.

……

The entire voting process will last three days.

But two hours later, the operation team of Mansheng Metropolis began to intervene and re-arrange the 180 options according to the number of votes.

This ranking will be updated every hour thereafter.

Netizens looked at the voting list.

They soon discovered to their amazement that

Even with a massive number of American players voting, [Twin Towers] only made it to seventh place.

[World Tree], for which Qihuahua worked hard to canvass votes, is currently ranked sixth.

[Space Station] is currently ranked fifth.

[Steampunk Whale]——A mechanical copper tube structure whale that can use steam as power and fly low over the sprawling city, rushing to the fourth place.

As for the top three, each one is more important than the other.

the third:
[Big Data Dating Agency].

This option, which was almost ignored by all anchors and players, was quietly voted into the top three!
second:
[Universal Library].

This is a building that goes far beyond the concept of "architecture" in its significance.

The player who made this wish hopes that Dream Building can create an electronic version of all valuable books in the world and store them in this virtual library.

Let precious knowledge be shared fairly with all countries and all nations.

And ensure that precious books will last forever and will not be lost or burned.

This is definitely not something that a single project team in Mansheng City can accomplish.

Even the entire Dream Building project may not be able to complete such a grand project.

So the project leader ruled out this option.

But the elusive boss came back and added this option back.

result--

Such an option, which is neither sexy nor fun, and whose appearance is not "spectacular", was actually voted to the second place!
As for the first place, the temporary champion of this vote——

[Interracial custom girl massage parlor].

With an absolute advantage of 673 million votes over the second place, he took first place!
