This city simulation game can affect reality.

The current state of agritainment businesses definitely needs a dedicated coordinator.

Although Lao Zhou is like a perpetual motion machine, managing the resort as his main base is his primary task.

If the burden of developing agritourism, which requires a lot of work, is placed on his shoulders, even an ox would eventually be exhausted.

Therefore, accepting the other party's recommendation is not a bad idea from a practical point of view.

After all, talents like Lao Zhou and Hu Qian, who have strong execution capabilities and whose management philosophy aligns with Chen Jun's, are truly rare finds in the market.

More often than not, even talented individuals may have different ideas due to various complex factors such as career planning and identification with corporate culture.

When the banquet finally ended, it was already past 8 p.m. Chen Jun drove back to his resort accommodation as usual.

Although he had drunk some alcohol today, he remained mindful of his limits, only maintaining a slightly tipsy state.

After eating some fruit and drinking most of a glass of honey water, Chen Jun closed the bedroom door, opened "City Simulator," and continued his research on [Waste Enhancement].

The red plastic bag that was selected as the reinforcement base the day before yesterday has been moved into his residence and casually placed in a corner.

The 24-hour cooldown period has now ended, and the level restriction has been lifted.

The next two upgrades, from level 3 to level 4, require 10 blue plastic bags; from level 4 to level 5, they require 20 red plastic bags.

The color requirements weren't particularly demanding, but the sudden increase in quantity still made it quite difficult for Chen Jun to find the right one.

This process reminded him of some puzzle games he had played before.

Every time I precisely select a plastic bag from a cluttered screen with the mouse, I feel a slight sense of accomplishment.

However, if a search of a certain area yields no results after repeated searches, it can be quite frustrating.

Fortunately, compared to those casual games that are purely for killing time, City Simulator has generated much stronger feedback.

After all, this is an upgrade and modification of the physical object.

Thick red plastic bag

[Level: Lv5]

Please select the next upgrade path.

The final batch of materials was added, the enhanced light effect faded, and the panel information was refreshed accordingly.

After reaching level 5, the prefix of the base plastic bag changes from "normal" to "thick", and a new branch selection interface pops up.

This clearly means that the upgrade of plastic bags has reached a critical juncture.

It is no longer just becoming stronger, but has embarked on a path of specialized upgrades.

This mechanism seems similar to some raising and evolution games such as Pokémon and Rock Kingdom.

【Path 1: Inert Storage Bag】

【Path 2: Space Pleated Bag】

After quickly glancing at the more detailed descriptions below the two options, Chen Jun understood.

This branching evolution allows the red plastic bag to develop into forms with vastly different functions.

So-called "inertial storage bags" are plastic bags that have an inert force field. Fresh fruits and vegetables placed in the bag will have their spoilage time significantly delayed.

Simply put, it's like a miniature preservation zone.

However, the food that is taken out will lose a lot of its original flavor and become bland, which cannot be saved even by adding extra seasonings.

As for the "space-enhancing pleated bag," it will expand the plastic bag to about twice its original size, and the effect lasts only half an hour.

If the items are not removed in time, the "overloaded" parts will be squeezed and deformed, or even evaporate into thin air.

"Judging from the practicality described in the text alone, the second path seems to be more flexible."

After a moment's thought, Chen Jun made his decision.

Currently, his living area is basically fixed within the Longding Mountain area, so food preservation is not an urgent need for him.

In other words, the preservation ability of a single plastic bag is far from sufficient for the overall storage of goods.

Unless we can mass-produce these bags in the future, they could at least provide a buff to the warehouse.

The second option, at least, provides temporary expansion capabilities, and according to the description, this capability has some room for growth.

Using it as your own hidden safe to temporarily store small items that are not suitable for display is a good idea.

Thick, red, pleated pocket

[Level: Lv5]

[Under upgrade protection; the next level of material requirements will be unlocked in 48 hours]

In the original City Simulator, these items with special functions are usually used to alleviate certain pressures in city operations.

This is quite similar to the real-world principle that "tools improve life".

Feeling slightly tipsy, Chen Jun lost interest in continuing to play games, closed his computer, and fell into a deep sleep on his pillow.

......

The next day at noon, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

As the winter solstice approaches, even in Nandu, a city known for its mild climate, a bone-chilling cold has begun to permeate the air.

Chen Jun, wearing a light down jacket, braved the drizzle to arrive at the orchard of the agritainment business.

I took a walk around the newly renovated road.

Stepping onto the dry, flat boardwalk and gravel path, I confirmed that the quality matched my expectations, and there were no issues with water accumulation or slipperiness.

He walked towards the [Joyful Sword Pavilion] deep within the orchard.

The house, entirely constructed of dark wood, is currently partially shrouded in the mountain mist, giving it a secluded and serene atmosphere.

The overall lines are simple and strong, with the eaves and brackets appearing and disappearing in the clouds and mist, giving it a sharp and solemn look at first glance.

If placed within the main buildings of the agritainment business, it would seem somewhat out of place.

But at the boundary of this orchard, a perfect harmony is formed, which is truly the finishing touch.

Chen Jun pushed open the slightly ajar antique-style wooden door and stepped inside.

The interior scenery differs slightly from the written description, perhaps due to the grade level, as the facilities are very basic.

In the center are three low sword racks, with three practice swords laid out horizontally:

A Han Dynasty sword with an antique design.

A nimble willow-leaf sword.

A long sword that is somewhat heavy.

The room's overall layout is also quite simple, making it feel rather spacious.

The overall atmosphere is completely unlike the restraint of Japanese Kendo, and is full of the freehand style of classical Chinese martial arts.

On one of the inner walls, various books related to swords are neatly displayed. The book covers have an antique design, but the contents are printed in simplified Chinese characters for easy reading.

Chen Jun went in to examine them, pulled out some of them and flipped through them, his face showing surprise.

The collection here is truly dazzling, ranging from "A Study of the Swordplay of the Yue Maiden" to "The Meaning of Zhuangzi's 'Discourse on Swordsmanship'". If one wanted to collect these books on the market, it would probably take more than a day or two, and the cost would certainly be considerable.

Pick out a book titled "Elementary Swordsmanship".

The content of this book is very simple. In summary, it is about standardized building materials promoted to the general public, and the techniques taught are very basic.

Since he had no foundation in swordsmanship, Chen Jun made this very rational choice.

Following the illustrations and instructions in the book, he stood still with his sword, adjusted his breathing, and tried a few basic starting stances.

Then came the pointing and flicking of the sword...

They stopped, somewhat reluctantly, only when their bodies felt slightly warm and fine sweat appeared on their foreheads.

"It seems that this place has a naturally limited audience and cannot be provided as a free venue, otherwise it will easily become a decoration or lead to disorderly use."

"However, the price doesn't need to be too high; setting an appropriate entry point for the experience is sufficient."

Chen Jun immediately made his own business judgment.

After all, many tourists come to the orchard only for sightseeing and fruit picking; those who are interested in swordsmanship are ultimately a small, specific group.
