Chapter 229 228 fuck! Can’t take a job this big, hurry up
Chapter 229 228.Fuck! Such a big job can’t be picked up at all, hurry up and shake people! [Asking for monthly votes 310
The ashers and bricklayers successfully completed their most urgent work, and after proving that the “Swift Construction Technique” they developed was completely feasible, the motivation of the workers on the construction site was also mobilized.
They had been told that the living quarters were for the survivors of the camp to survive the coming winter.
Since they were building a house for themselves, of course they couldn’t afford to be sloppy.
Without even needing to be urged by the ashers and bricklayers, they were very actively engaged in making molds for the new houses under the leadership of their respective foremen.
They had the bricklayer’s simple drawings in their hands, and they had learned how to make these not-so-subtle things under the bricklayer’s hands-on instruction for the first four days, so the two masonry fraternity “designers” no longer had to be on the construction site to keep an eye on the next job.
They had been given a new task, and it was a task that gave the two design graduate students quite a headache.
“Tsk, designing the new city plan for Scarlet Fortress, this is equivalent to asking you to be in charge of the planning of a small county, can you do it?”
In the tent of the forward camp, the three administrative career old brothers were sitting together with the Grey Beater and the Bricklayer, they were studying the side quest that the Grey Beater had just triggered, while the Bricklayer would be wandering around and thinking about his career.
It turns out that the trials for the administrative profession are indeed easier than those for the combat profession, and judging from the experience of the gray man, as long as he can lead the construction of the survivors’ neighborhoods, he can become a “full-fledged mayor”.
Not to mention the benefits of various administrative professions, he will be able to bring 4 guards alone!
Geez, this will be awesome when he goes out on patrol, should he pick four female soldiers like his half-hanging brother?
I’d like to change their armor to something more handsome.
Ha, I’m still a little excited just thinking about it.
“What are you smiling at, so lewd, did you think of something good?”
Brother Shovel suddenly asked, waking up Bricklayer from his wonderful fantasy, he coughed twice at once and said with a serious expression:
“I am thinking about this important side quest for me and the gray man, planning a city like this we both discussed before, relying on the two of us can’t be done at all, this isn’t a modern city, and there isn’t much information about this on the internet.
We also can’t just take a ready-made template and change it, after all, there are just too many things to consider.”
“So? Both have triggered an important side quest, both have been given the heavy responsibility of building a city, you can’t give up on the mission, right?”
Shoveler said as he threw the berries on the table into his mouth while chewing his mouth full of juice:
“And don’t be presumptuous, although in your own eyes you’re just rookies in this line of work, I dare say that right now, everyone in the entire Transylvania, counting the Jackals and Dogheads, there’s no one more specialized in this area than you two.
So don’t worry and screw around!
The big deal is to make it ugly, it’s not like the NPCs will care.
It’s just a matter of being laughed at by the subsequent players, and it’s a chance to take charge of a super project on your own!”
Brother Shovel said with glowing eyes:
“Think about it, in the real world, who would give such a big project to you two who haven’t graduated to practice? Even if it doesn’t involve specialized fields, the management and operation and maintenance experience you can accumulate after this process is enough to last you a lifetime.
That’s a lot more powerful than an internship at a bullshit design firm.
That’s the kind of work where you really learn.”
“Well, Shovel is right.”
The old dirt bike guy said with a nod:
“It really is a once-in-a-lifetime job, just try to do the best you can and don’t stress about it.”
“No way!”
The ash beater was being stubborn at this point.
He pushed the aristocratic glasses on the bridge of his nose, stroked the design on his hand, and said:
“I don’t really care if I’ll be laughed at, the main problem is that this is the first city of Transylvania, even if we ignore its political significance as much as we can, we can’t change the reality that this city will become the capital of this land as soon as it’s born.
This is our ‘newbie village’!
If we casually muddle through, it might bring about a rather terrible negative impact on our future gaming career, and since Lord Murphy has entrusted us with this heavy responsibility, we can’t let him down!”
“You’re playing the game silly!”
Fully Risky Half-Hanging skewered:
“No matter how perfect Lord Murphy is it’s still just an NPC, and this is just a mission you need to face, it’s good to empathize with people, but you have to distinguish between the real and the virtual ah, I can understand your thoughts, but the problem is that right now aren’t we unable to do anything about it?”
“No, there is a way!”
The gray-hitting man rubbed his brow vigorously, he seemed to have made a difficult decision, so he tapped the table and said:
“I’m going to pull my mentor in, he’s had similar experiences as well as enough learning and experience to preside over a program of this magnitude.”
“Old Chen Tou?”
The bricklayer froze, then cried and laughed:
“Don’t be ridiculous, although Old Chen Tou is very interested in the construction plans of that Cadman City and is always asking questions, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to come running to play the game with us, right? He’s a serious old professor, an academic titan in his circle.
Although he’s almost retired, he’s busy every day.
How would he have time to mess around with us?”
“Definitely not in the past.”
The gray-hitting man rolled his eyes and said:
“Haven’t you been watching the news these days? That pandemic flu is getting worse, when I went to the cafeteria to eat yesterday, I heard a few teachers from the next department say that the school might have to be closed. Old Chen Tou can’t go to a few meetings, otherwise why do you think he’s so idle these days?”
“Oh yeah, that pandemic flu.”
Dumper also remembered the news he heard during dinner with some buddies yesterday, and he said with some concern:
“I heard from a few of my friends abroad, they all started grabbing medicines and masks over there, it’s really making a big fuss, the country hasn’t yet, but I guess the measures will be coming out soon.”
“I heard that the city might be closed.”
All Risks Half Hanging whispered:
“I have a friend from above sent me a message, let me more tuned in alas, not to mention the reality of the matter, let’s talk about the matter at hand. Are you sure you can invite your mentor in? And what’s with the invite code thing?”
“Just find Fat to accommodate me.”
The gray-hitting man shrugged and said:
“Didn’t you guys say you’ve accommodated before? Didn’t Brother Woo Meow ask the testing team to ask Brother Stick for an invitation code during the Smuggler’s Woodland Block Battle? And last time, Fat said on the forums that they need professionals to get into the game now to help test the features.
I think that with Old Chan’s status, an extra helmet is just a matter of Fat making a report to the devs.
But I have to go talk to him first.”
“Then I’ll go check out the terrain at those scheduled farms.”
Movers said as he got up:
“Try to get the plans out before we go offline today, it’s just a farmstead, it can’t be any harder than building a city, right?”
“Go together go together.” The three old camp supervisors also got up.
They had all taken over the task from Miss Miriam, and the next construction of the farm would require them to draw manpower from under their hands to assist, as the middle leaders of the current Scarlet Castle ruling system as well as the “head horse” of the administrative players, the three old brothers had to shoulder the responsibility of mobilizing manpower as well as the promotion and application of the new order.
This is also the main game content of these administrative players.
It does sound a bit boring, not as exciting as killing, but still, the definition of “fun” is not the same in everyone’s eyes, and there are always people who can find a different kind of happiness in these “special games”.
Not to mention, the sight of three old men riding on high horses, followed by four or five secretaries, and a total of twelve guards with distinctive armor….
Gee, but it was majestic.

“That’s just the way it is, Fat, I know it’s not in line with the rules of our test group, but it’s really a special situation, so I hope you’ll make a report to the development team to request it.”
On the forums, the Gray Man sent a message to the Administrator Alpha, stating both his thoughts and the difficulties he was currently facing.
Alpha, who was honored by the testers as “Brother Faye”, was as usual steadfast in his duties and quickly gave a reply.
Alpha: [It’s fine, this kind of thing is not a violation, in fact the development team has been inviting professionals from various fields to participate in the game development and correction process, but not every expert is willing to participate in the project, which also gives us a headache.
If you are sure that you can invite your mentor to participate in the testing process, the development team will be happy to do so.
But the question is, can you convince your mentor?
You have to understand, little gray-fighting brother, that the rules of this current testing phase are all about voluntarism, and we can’t just ignore your mentor’s personal wishes and force a helmet over to them, can we?”]
Chosen Grey Beater: [Hey, as long as you don’t make it difficult, I’ll go persuade Old Chen Tou to fill out the test application].
Alpha: [Wait a moment, this is something you download and transfer into your mobile device, I gave you special download privileges]]
After saying that, Alpha sent a zip package labeled as “Research on Alien Architectural Styles of Chardonnay Craftsmen University’s School of Architects – General Outline of the Elves and Sanghai Chapter”, this unexplained name made the ash-battered man confused.
He then activated the download permission to download the zip package to his tablet, and after unzipping it was a folder containing two documents both of which had been translated into Chinese.
The first one was an overview of the Castilian elves’ architectural style with drawings, and the second one was an overview of the unique architectural style of the Sanghai Empire, the place of origin.
The two rather specialized papers were famously named after a certain halfling architect, and the watermark on them was labeled with the words “Real Otherworld – Development Modeling and Story Background Setting Internal Documents – Strictly Forbidden to be Distributed”.
“Damn, bull! Look at the strength of this development team! Something that was obviously made up turned out to be just like a real paper!”
Beat Gray Man wailed excitedly.
Of course he knew what Fat had given him these two documents for.
He was planning to go fishing, treating Old Chen Tou as the “koi” that had to take the bait.
The cunning graduate student thought carefully for a moment, then opened his mentor’s communication and sent the two documents over, and without saying anything else, casually ordered a takeout for himself and the bricklayer.
Just as he finished the fried chicken and was painfully drinking happy water, the communication on his cell phone dinged like a seizure.
Picking it up, unsurprisingly.
Hey, Old Chan took the bait.
Thresher: [Where did you find this information? Are these the documents from that game of yours? Are young people nowadays able to make up stories to such an extent that they can fake it? What exactly is the style that this elf and the Songhai people refer to in their architectural aesthetics?
Why can they use plant vines and trees themselves as building materials?
And!
Can you ghost kid post something in its entirety?
What’s the point of posting only an overview for both papers? Are you trying to whet my appetite?
Chosen to fight the gray man: [Hey, mentor, it’s not that I don’t send the whole thing, but the development team only gave me this much, this is an internal document ah, you can also see that this is obviously a background power in the game’s teaching textbook ah.
We’re nowhere near pushing the plot to that point yet.
Why don’t you come in and see for yourself?
Just to guide your student’s work.
Not that I’m bragging, but the NPCs have asked me and my senior brother to plan and build a city for them, and even though it’s only equivalent to a small county on our side, we can’t handle it, so we’ll have to ask a goddess of the sea like you to come in.
Thresher: [???? I occasionally watch my grandson play games, although I don’t understand much, but doesn’t he just click twice on the screen?
What? You two don’t know how to click a mouse? Or don’t you know how to look up strategies?
It’s not so bad that you’re not even as good as my teenage grandson, right?
Heaven’s Chosen Gray Man: [Aiya, it’s hard to explain to you, how about this? You first fill out a test application, the development team side of the relationship I have already fixed, as long as you submit an application this side will send the helmet over, the latest to tomorrow you can come in Transylvania.
By then, you’ll know what kind of hot potato your student has picked up.
After saying that, he copied the link to the test invitation on the forum and sent it to his mentor, who wrote back a few minutes later:
Thresher: [Why do you still need to fill in the mailing address and contact information? You confirm that this is not some new type of fraud? You honestly explain, are you being threatened by someone? Now you are going to drag me, an old man, into the water?
If that’s true, you’d better call the police! Or should I call the police for you?
Chosen to fight the gray man: [Your vigilance is too high, I didn’t think about this when I filled out the form, don’t worry, mentor, a number of students in our school are playing it, it’s definitely not a scam. That said, do you think I really dare to play this kind of joke with you about my prospects of graduating or not?
Thresher: [Well, that’s true. Then how do I fill in this specialty field?
The Chosen Gray Man: [Just take a picture of the awards you’ve won and upload it.
Thingy: [No, what if someone takes my photo and identity and does something bad with it? I’ve heard that there are a lot of fake photos on the internet nowadays, and there’s a professor in the next college who was impersonated and used his identity information.
In the end, he was almost arrested.
I’d better write ‘Site Supervisor’.]
Chosen to fight the gray man: [OK, OK, OK, it’s all up to you, anyway, I’ve made a deal with the testing team, they know your academic gold. I’ll go into the game first to prepare you, when the helmet arrives you call out to me, I’ll teach you how to use it.
You can also go to the forum to see the post, there are special tutorials for newcomers, there is what you do not understand you ask me.
I size is also considered a veteran player, is now one of the game’s only four village chiefs.
Threshing:【Huh? What’s a ‘village chief’? Some kind of game profession? The more you say this, the more confused I am… Why do I feel like you’re not playing a game but rather participating in a trailblazing ah?
Chosen to beat the gray man: [Aiya, it’s really hard to explain ah, you go into the game before you say it, you have always taught us that seeing is believing, right?
Thresher: [OK! But let’s get this out of the way, Du, if you’re going to make fun of me, then let’s discuss the matter of your graduation again. Anyway, the employment situation is not so good these years, or you can stay with me for a few more years.
Old man I can still support you two.
Chosen to fight the gray man: [Don’t ah! Mentor!
Thresher: [Regretting it now? It’s too late! I’d like to see what you two are up to.]
