This city simulation game can affect reality.

"That's right. These two people have an excellent reputation in certain circles, but according to the current mainstream evaluation system, they probably wouldn't be considered respectable."

"Or rather, it's difficult for the industry to define their skills using official standards."

Hu Qian stood up, walked to the sofa opposite Chen Jun, sat down, and began to express her worries.

"Difficult to define?" Chen Jun tapped the sofa armrest lightly with his fingertip, signaling her to continue.

"That physical therapist is not proficient in traditional therapies; he calls himself 'Mountain and River Bone Setting.' And the nutritionist, although he studies health management, his specific methods are somewhat unorthodox... His self-created school of thought is called 'Five Elements and Six Qi Dietary Supplementation Formula.'"

"In the eyes of mainstream medicine, this is a typical fallacy."

"This is completely different from the modern concept that our activity center is trying to create. If we invite them, we may be able to achieve good business results by relying on the novelty, but in the long run, it will inevitably make the overall brand tone present a kind of... indescribable sense of incongruity."

Hu Qian couldn't quite describe the feeling, but a picture came to mind: in a modern laboratory full of cutting-edge equipment, a group of people in white coats were performing a shamanistic ritual.

It cannot be said that the latter is inferior, but it does run counter to the atmosphere that the activity center wants to create.

Chen Jun thought for a moment, then pressed, "Explain these two techniques in detail. How are they considered unorthodox?"

Hu Qian carefully considered her words and tried to be as objective as possible: "First of all, the physical therapist's 'mountain and river bone setting' is completely detached from the modern medical system. He does not directly touch the client's muscles, but uses his fingertips to feel the flow of 'qi and blood' under the client's skin - according to him, the human body has undulating mountains and rivers, and qi and blood are like the earth's veins, hence the name."

"Physical therapists claim that by sensing this flow, they can determine the condition of fascial adhesions and deep nodules."

"The technique itself is very unique. Sometimes it seems like you just place your hand on a certain spot and guide the client to breathe on their own. At the critical moment of breath circulation, you use a clever force, which is said to be able to 'use vibration instead of force' to clear blockages."

"Based on my private interviews, the effects are indeed remarkable. Many people become completely dependent on this technique after just one treatment. However, the entire process... is like some kind of guided meditation, which is completely unscientific."

Chen Jun listened quietly; this description did indeed have a slightly eerie quality.

However, he had heard many legends about extraordinary people in folklore before, and many things really could not be explained by science.

"So what about nutritionists? And what about the Five Elements and Six Qi dietary supplements?"

Hu Qian looked both amused and exasperated: "This is even more mysterious. He never looks at the client's medical examination report. Instead, he asks for the date of birth and calls it the 'innate constitution pattern.' Then, he combines it with the changes of the seasons and even the local feng shui and humidity to customize the diet."

"The selection of ingredients is quite normal, but the underlying principle of pairing is based on an ancient theory of energy flow. For example, he might say something like, 'This year, the earth element is too damp, so wood-element ingredients are needed to drain it.'"

"The effects have a miraculous reputation among some long-term customers, but according to modern nutrition science, this argument and logic are basically nonsense."

After elaborating, Hu Qian said solemnly, "Boss, their skills can certainly be useful, but the specific methods of implementation... are probably too easy for others to use against us. I'm worried that once we officially hire them, if someone with ulterior motives labels them as 'mystical health practices and charlatans,' it will cause the image that the activity center has established to be distorted."

Chen Jun stared out the window, lost in thought.

Since Hu Qian solemnly provided these two people to her for reference, it is enough to show that they are no ordinary people and must be prominent figures in certain fixed circles.

However, the brand risks she is worried about do need to be carefully weighed.

From the perspective of the market that the activity center targets, this kind of skill, which has a bit of a mysterious aura, is actually very down-to-earth and easier for ordinary people to accept.

According to Chen Jun's understanding, in Longding Mountain, especially in the two villages on the mountain, many elderly people have never left their hometown in their entire lives, and their mindset is deeply rooted.

Even though most young people venture out into the world, they are still deeply influenced by the traditional culture they have been exposed to since childhood.

Therefore, they not only do not reject some superstitious things, but even tend to agree with them.

However, advantages and disadvantages always go hand in hand. If this is used as a selling point, and the treatment results are not satisfactory, or even if it is just a matter of failing to meet the customer's expectations, the activity center will inevitably be criticized by everyone.

"First, invite these two masters over so I can see them in person and have a chat with them. Tell them we've long admired them and would like to invite them over for some guidance and exchange."

Chen Jun could not make a final judgment until he met the person in person and experienced it for himself.

Moreover, from a business perspective, he doesn't intend to put all his eggs in one basket.

The so-called niche skills of these two masters were merely a gimmick among their diversified services, rather than a core pillar.

"Okay, with your words, I can feel at ease contacting them." Hu Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

......

After finishing their business, Chen Jun didn't linger at the activity center; he still had a lot of things to do at the resort.

Back at his residence at night, he opened City Simulator.

City attractiveness: 99

Resident satisfaction: 69%

As things continued to develop and a series of events unfolded, two key data points on the panel reached the threshold for obtaining rewards.

This means that you only need to make the final push to receive the stage reward.

"Resident satisfaction may need a buffer period of two or three days to take effect, but the city's attractiveness can be improved immediately once adjustments are made."

With this in mind, Chen Jun immediately opened the map and looked for areas that needed optimization.

Based on past experience, placing buildings will definitely result in the fastest increase in stats.

However, the core building complexes of both activity centers and resorts are now basically saturated.

Even if they wanted to integrate the architecture, they didn't know where to start.

After much thought, Chen Jun could only start scrutinizing the details.

Since we can't advance at the speed of light, let's make some small improvements and gradually build up something great.

For example, you can move a landscape flower bed forward two cells to make it more prominent, or use the "Terrain Editing" tool to fine-tune the outline of an underutilized plot of land to make its connection with the walkway more natural.

Even simply tidying up cluttered items can slightly increase the stats.

After more than half an hour of focused micro-operation, the numbers on the panel finally changed.
