This city simulation game can affect reality.

Chapter 21 Bold and Decisive Action

Upon reflection, the main reason for this phenomenon was that my grandfather paid too much attention to feng shui when choosing the site.

In the old man's mind, the resort is backed by the main peak of Longding Mountain, which means it has a "mountain to rely on".

Facing the distant lake, it symbolizes "scenery".

However, this central axis happens to be opposite to the main traffic flow direction coming from the city center.

Under normal circumstances, when tourists drive in from the main road, the navigation system will prioritize guiding them to the nearest entrance with the widest road.

However, this path is located just behind the central axis.

If you want to build a straight road directly from the main road, you have to go through the huge mountain pass in the middle, and you might even have to build an overpass.

Given the financial constraints of that time, it would have been a pipe dream to implement these operations—and even now, the resort is unable to do so effectively.

Therefore, after evaluation, Grandpa had no choice but to compromise and build an access road by utilizing the natural folds of the mountain.

Therefore, this can be considered another difficult problem left to Chen Jun by the old man.

However, given the limitations of the times, this situation was not intentional on the other party's part, so there's no need to dwell on it too much.

After returning to his residence that evening, Chen Jun immediately opened "City Simulator" in an attempt to find the best solution.

Just like when he was in college, he was engrossed in playing games in his dorm room. At this moment, all his attention was focused on this small screen, which was less than 15 inches in size.

I kept thinking and sliding the camera.

A few minutes later, Chen Jun's eyes suddenly lit up: "There really is one."

At the intersection of another path to the west of the resort, there is a firebreak that has been abandoned for many years.

This small section of congested road doesn't make up a large part of the resort's overall area, and it's one of the most easily overlooked peripheral areas.

Chen Jun zoomed in and out of the camera.

Because of its location in a less populated area of ​​the resort, the firebreak is surrounded by bushes and piles of waste.

Except during major cleaning seasons, no one usually lingers in the vicinity.

Even lazy employees or tourists who like to wander around alone wouldn't linger in such a smoky and chaotic place.

"This area can be completely cleared out, and the nearby buildings can be renovated to create a small plaza, which can serve as the side entrance to the resort."

Considering that the main gate has been in use for a long time, relocating it directly would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, the best approach is to first clear the firebreak, then move some asphalt road surface from inside the resort to transform this area into the "West Gate".

Over time, tourists will naturally realize that a shortcut has appeared on one side, and then it will be gradually converted into the "main entrance".

As for various service facilities, adjustments can be made gradually.

As long as the game exists, Chen Jun can conduct countless trials and errors at zero cost.

After deciding on his strategy, he began to micromanage.

The first thing to do is to remove all obstructions.

Since these waste materials and shrubs did not belong to the construction company, Chen Jun could only move them, not demolish them directly.

Fortunately, City Simulator is a game with a Z-axis, so in addition to moving horizontally, it can also control the trash vertically.

Although Chen Jun had to handle some small, individual items one by one, he had already developed muscle memory for these basic operations, so the whole process didn't take too long.

A few minutes later, all the coverings were temporarily dumped in an empty, deserted area.

Next, we'll use the terrain editing feature to shape the firebreak.

Because there is a height difference of nearly ten meters between the junction and the outside road, he had to first "shape" it into a slope.

Soon, under Chen Jun's skillful manipulation, the originally 90-degree steep slope was transformed into a zigzag road after two turns.

Given the inability to modify external roads, this is arguably the only solution.

Although the overall symmetry has been lost, it has also completely connected the resort with the outside world.

The next step is the final process: replicating asphalt road models from the resort's internal roads to cover the original potholes.

After doing all this, the effect that Chen Jun had expected was basically achieved.

Although it doesn't look as grand as the main entrance, it at least provides another path for tourists who have trouble finding their way.

City attractiveness: 29

Returning to the game's data interface, Chen Jun immediately noticed that the city's attractiveness had increased by two points.

The acquisition of the next new building is just a millimeter away.

......

The following day, due to the newly opened road and the lack of available space nearby to build a second comprehensive reception area, Chen Jun could only temporarily set up a simple ticket table and assigned two security guards to guard the area.

Perhaps due to a lack of information, not many vehicles entered the resort from the west gate throughout the morning.

Thinking that further adjustments would be needed, Chen Jun did not plan to make an announcement in advance.

This road is located behind the resort's cold chain station, in a very remote area, so even with such a big change, it's unlikely that anyone would notice.

"The terrain here is too distorted; it can only serve as a small plaza outside the entrance. The main reception area still needs to be located inside."

After a morning of observation, Chen Jun confirmed this fact.

His original plan was to use the terrain editing feature to expand the open space to a size large enough to accommodate the reception area.

However, due to terrain limitations, even if the expansion is completed, the area near the entrance will not be able to accommodate too many tourists.

Congestion is inevitable in the future.

It's better to plan ahead now than to face trouble again in the future.

......

With a preliminary plan in place for the subsequent construction on the west side, Chen Jun turned his attention to the other side of the resort—the lawns on both sides of the Longgu River.

Now that the pollution problem from the chemical plant has been resolved, the development of this area can certainly be put on the agenda.

According to the area designated when the land was purchased, the resort has development rights over the area on the left side of the Longgu River.

However, the river itself, as well as the lawn on the opposite bank, remains public property.

Over the years, the resort has only regarded this area as a scenic driveway.

One reason is funding, and another is environmental considerations.

Once this land is converted into a commercial area, the river will inevitably be polluted.

Chen Jun was naturally not as lawless as the chemical plant, but every time he thought of the green grass along the Longgu River, he felt it was a terrible waste.

"Now that we have the Qingquan Hub, small amounts of trash won't cause excessive pollution of the river."

"We can start by using a small section of the area as a pilot project, attracting some villagers to set up food stalls or something similar."

Chen Jun's motivation for making this decision wasn't solely based on business considerations.

While this could create another gathering point for people around the resort, its impact on visitor flow is actually quite limited.

His true motive lies with the villagers of Longding Mountain.
