Gotham Mayor Simulator

Barbara's eyes were slightly cold. Even if the former Bat Girl lost the ability to walk, she could still rely on her resourcefulness to become the information supporter behind the scenes. When she just caught a glimpse of the other party's clothes from the corner of her eye, her brain analyzed the clothes first. The information read from the horn pattern——

The clothes worn by the mrc.

At the beginning of the "event", they realized that the magician mrc that appeared throughout the city was just a projection and could not be touched, like a good-natured Santa Claus, but Barbara remembered the style of his clothes. .

She raised her head calmly, but suddenly froze when she saw the person in front of her.

Captain America, who got her some water, looked at her suspiciously.

Captain America Steve noticed that there was a disabled person here who had difficulty getting water, so he walked over first to help, but he caught the flash of vigilance in the girl's eyes.

He smiled good-naturedly, handed over the water, took two steps back, and returned to his companions.

Only Barbara was still there. MRC could not be Captain America. Therefore, the other party probably appeared for a brief moment and then disappeared again. And "he" had no breathing, heartbeat or hostility, so that Captain America was so close. Recently, no abnormality was found, but why did mrc disappear? Did he achieve his goal?

The vigilante in the wheelchair glanced around with suspicious eyes. Most of the people who appeared here were acquaintances. After the two-hour movie ended, it was four o'clock in the morning when the crowds were the least crowded. She held her chin and unscrewed the bottle cap to moisturize. Moisten your lips.

Then, her brows furrowed. The moment she drank the water, Barbara felt the heat coming from her legs. The burning feeling became clearer and clearer, and then there was the discomfort rising from the bottom up of her feet. --pain!

The Joker once shot her, breaking the wings of the bird that once flew over Gotham. The spinal nerve disorder caused her legs to be paralyzed. Since then, she has almost no feeling in her legs. The long-lost pain appeared, and she neighed. With two sounds, the mineral water bottle in his hand fell, and the noise attracted the attention of others.

Barbara vaguely felt that they were surrounding them, but she was covered in cold sweat and could no longer see clearly.

She seemed to have sunk into a certain world, talking to a certain person, no, to a certain creature.

The other party told her in an incomprehensible language what she could sacrifice, exchange what she wanted with Him, and follow the principle of fairness. Whatever you want to get, you have to pay the corresponding price.

And Barbara said:

"I refuse."

Reality is not a movie, and she is not red-haired Erin. If she wants something, she will work hard for it herself instead of making deals with unknown people.

She knew who this guy was, and she sneered: "What price did you charge from Weiwei?"

"She gave me something she didn't want," the creature actually answered, or maybe it was just Barbara's imagination, "and exchanged it for the pearl."

Barbara opened her eyes suddenly. Dick was wiping the sweat from her forehead. Tim was on the phone. After noticing that she had returned to normal, he looked over with concern. The Avengers were half confused and half wary, as if Nervous, waiting for an unknown enemy to appear in the shadows, Barbara immediately realized that it had not been long since she lost consciousness, probably less than two minutes.

Dick in front of him asked: "Babs, what did you see?"

"...What happened to me?" she asked hoarsely.

"You suddenly lost consciousness, and then your body temperature rose," Dick whispered. "Then you said 'I refuse', and you kept repeating this sentence. You refused... are you a criminal with mental powers?"

The red-haired girl had a strange expression. She thanked the others and let Dick and Tim push her away. In the deserted alley, Barbara suddenly raised her hand to signal to stop.

Then Dick heard the slight sound of leather tearing as his paralyzed companion stood firmly on his feet, using his arms to support his wheelchair.

Dick's eyes widened, and Barbara smiled bitterly: "I did refuse...but I failed."

He lowered his head to see clearly what was happening——

The girl's lower limbs were paralyzed, and her legs had shrunk to a certain extent even after massage and maintenance. They were much weaker than when she was a bat girl. But now, what appeared in front of him was not the pale and weak legs under the skirt, but the long and weak legs under the skirt. The strange legs were covered with red scales, and the feet no longer looked like humans, but a pair of three-toed, webbed feet of a strange beast.

It looked extremely strong, as if it could kick three dicks away with one kick.

Dick didn't know whether he should be happy or not. He quickly realized what had happened, and Tim reacted faster and asked calmly: "What price did you pay?"

"Hate," she spread her hands, with a pure tin soldier doll lying in her palm. "It is the power of hatred that turned my legs like this. As long as I use this power, I have to hate someone."

Such as the clown.

After having personal contact with this mrc, Barbara realized why Bruce was so wary of him——

Just like a two-faced coin, good things always happen along with bad things. This magician in the game world does not simply want to do good things. He can obviously charge other prices. He is like a high-level bystander, from time to time. Reach out to push the plot forward, trying to make the real drama before you more interesting.

"I won't wallow in this hatred forever," Barbara looked down at her strange feet and smiled, "I won't let him win."

This "he" is both a clown and a mrc.

But... she doesn't mind beating up the clown while she can stand up.

Weiwei rubbed her eyes. After a movie, the silver card turned from 9/10 to 6/10, which means that three more cards have been given away. Who got these three cards?

Should I go to the tin soldier event? There are not many tin soldiers left in the whole city now. More than 90,000 little people are put into a city with 8 million people. It's not much that can be divided up in a few days.

There are still six cards left. Weiwei is a little itchy, but the little people who are still "alive" are difficult to catch unless she uses props.

"... Forget it," she thought, "It's one thing for me to use props to improve my luck. After all, I did pass the maze by myself, but letting the gargoyles and the flowers of evil help me catch people and cheating ruins other people's game experience."

--That's too low.

There are only a few days left in the event. How many silver cards can be given away next depends on luck. She won't join in the fun.

In some unnecessary details, Weiwei is very persistent, even if no one would accuse her of "cheating" in a single-player game.

Barbara's abnormality came and went quickly. After they left, the mayor took Bella to sit in Iron Man's car. They needed to discuss whether the mayor should keep the AI. Of course, Lao Jia didn't want to resign, but--

"Since it's an employee, Lao Jia should have what others have!"

"Of course," the mayor (mini version) who was held by Bella stretched out her hand and held the hand of the new body of AI tightly. She looked happier than Tony that Lao Jia could have a body. She said, "We still lack a formal employment contract, but AI doesn't seem to have an identity?"

Stark snapped his fingers: "I'll take care of it."

The mayor in front of him used the image of a little girl like a cheat. Even though he knew that the other party was an adult woman-he seemed to have met her at an unimportant cocktail party in the past-Tony still couldn't say anything harsh to a child.

Especially since she was so cooperative.

It was just too cooperative, so Tony's prepared plan was invalidated, and he could only throw it into the trash can. The mayor held AI's hand and thought to himself that it was indeed a telephone booth drawn by drawing a card.

——Iron Man is really a good person.

Only Jar, relying on his familiarity with the mayor and the ability to observe micro-expressions of his mechanical body, could see that no matter whether they made money or not... the mayor would definitely not lose.

He really... didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, for Weiwei, these were not a big deal. The seven-day event was too rushed. She was busy exchanging tokens for building blocks, upgrading buildings, accumulating "fear", and occasionally serving as a supervisor for the main task.

When the festival activity lasted to the last day, tourists began to leave - not everyone could have a seven-day holiday - the population of Gotham City reached a kind of dynamic balance of slow decline, and the only line connecting the old city and Hellgate Island, the Land Bridge, was completed.

300 diamonds were deposited into Weiwei's account, but these diamonds were not important to her at the moment.

On the evening of June 7, Weiwei's total diamonds were 11,725, which could support her 130 card draws, but this was useless because the last level of "Block Building" to the maximum level required the use of tokens and diamonds at the same time.

The diamonds given to you by the system will always be compensated somewhere.

And——

"Now it takes 1.8 million tokens and 900 diamonds to upgrade the nursing home. If you don't upgrade now, the tokens will be cleared after the event ends. I still want to upgrade and need 2,000 diamonds-the most outrageous thing is! Why, why..."

Why is there a 10% off on this price list? The current tokens and diamonds are discounted. If you miss the discount, you will have no chance!

It's already like this, what else can she do? Of course, she can only pay with tears.

However, Weiwei didn't upgrade everything to the maximum level. Her funds were not so generous for the time being. She picked and chose for a long time and chose a few necessities.

"Orphanage", after reaching the maximum level, comes with a special buff, which greatly increases the possibility of cultivating high-level talents, and has a certain probability of attracting special talents.

"Watchtower", after reaching the maximum level, it changes from a lighthouse on the edge of a small island to a high-rise building. Signals can be sent from the watchtower to cover the entire town, shielding or replacing communication tools, as well as other ways of "transmitting information". No need for monitoring, the tower can monitor and replay everything that happens in the town, it is an invisible eye.

"Hospital", after reaching the maximum level, it has a special buff, the recovery speed of injuries in the hospital will be faster, it will attract special patients and doctors, since it can attract them, there is naturally a chance to keep them.

"University", this is the only university in the town. The university upgraded to the maximum level has a laboratory and library comparable to Gotham University, occupying the side close to the sea. The special buff can be said to be useless, or it can be said to be very useful, that is-

If any public facilities and teaching equipment in the school are damaged, a complete and brand new one will be refreshed at midnight that night.

So Weiwei evaluated the cost-effectiveness before and after the upgrade in her mind, and still chose to upgrade.

"Nursing Home", after reaching the maximum level, is less like a nursing home and more like a leisure and vacation center. The expanded facilities of the nursing home are more complete and it also has mandatory rules of "no force". As long as people step into the range, no matter how much they hate it, She will also subconsciously avoid the idea of ​​using force to determine the outcome, and the effect of calming her mind has been doubled. Even Weiwei walked in and wanted to lie on the sofa for a while and become a comfortable salted fish.

...This is such a scary thought.

"South Hinckley Prison", only Jason and Weiwei know what changes have taken place in the prison. Yes, Jason still agreed to stay, but their contract is like this, because Weiwei is the "temporary mayor" , then Jason is also the "temporary warden". As long as they find another suitable person, or Jason loses control, or the two become enemies, they can immediately tear up the contract.

After reaching the full level, the prison will be four times larger, with various functional rooms. You can also sign up for some courses for prisoners, which increases the possibility of criminals repenting and having their sentences reduced. However, Weiwei is interested in the buff at the back. You can control the cells in the prison to move in all directions.

... I wonder if the cells of three Clown Gang criminals in a row can be eliminated?

"Pocket store", this is the last one. A certain building that looked ordinary. At first, Weiwei just wanted to buy out the entire token mall and maybe pick up useful building blocks. Then when she checked the props one by one, she discovered this.

After this prop is upgraded to the full level, the only feature is that it can be copied and split. For example, in residential areas, those standard houses look like they have been copied, but they can only be stacked in rows and rows, layer by layer. Demolish a single house and throw it away randomly in a small town - if possible, the format of the town will not be so regular.

But the portable store can, its building blocks can be split, and another feature is that after changing the interior decoration, it becomes a shrunken house again, and the interior decoration of the building will not be refreshed, but will still be retained.

Isn't this... the "player cabin"?

Players play management, role-playing, development and other games, and there is no obvious numerical improvement. The changes in their stores are the most obvious. What is sold and what is left are all clear, and they will be aware of their own. The shop creates a sense of intimacy, but the whole town is so big. As long as a wave of players quit the game, the shop will be rented to other players. If the hut can be retained, it will be like having a separate archive. When the time comes, the players will return to " Game" and found that his old store is still there... These details can increase the retention rate of the game.

As long as South Hinckley Town is really regarded as a "game map" and South Hinckley Town's economic development is regarded as a "game," it is not difficult for Weiwei to change her role a little.

Felix's agent Hardy made a suggestion: "Players can play business games, but we can't let them get money directly. I suggest that we issue a virtual game currency that can only be used for matters related to South Hinckley Town. The official only introduces channels for exchanging money for currency, not currency for money.”

"Why is this?" Weiwei humbly asked for advice.

"For the sake of game realism," Hardy smiled, "but our game is already real enough, because this is not a game at all, it is a small town that exists in reality, so the 'realism' we need is to make the guests really Treat this place as a game, that is, virtuality.”

"Issuing game currency can also maintain the economic balance 'in the game'," he advised. "No game will use real currency transactions, and we can use other methods to recycle the game currency in the hands of players. If they trade privately, sell If the game currency is US dollars, then we can also provide the platform and charge a certain handling fee.”

Weiwei: "!"

"Game currency can only be obtained in the game," he said. "In addition, our peripheral dolls, postcards, and commemorative coins can all be purchased with game currency."

"Is this also to recover currency?" Weiwei asked.

"No, this is to give the bottom players the illusion of 'making money' and a sense of satisfaction," Hardy said. "I'm not saying that the bottom players don't have money, but they will definitely not spend a lot of money in the game, but as long as they find There is no loss in playing the game, and if you make a little profit, you can keep them - even if the price-performance ratio of making money from the game is extremely low.”

"A game that can run for a long time needs these players, because in the early stage, we need enough popularity..." Hardy looked out the window, and the students hired to "experience life" filled the town, making the town become More energetic.

The man shrugged: "Of course, what I'm talking about are all theories in games, and they may not all apply - we are opening up a new field, a game that combines reality and virtuality."

...Maybe it's a game that combines magic.

Hardy thought: It's strange, why didn't those magicians think of using magic to create games?

However, after being so busy, Weiwei counted the diamonds she had left and found that she only had a little over a thousand diamonds left.

"Bless me to draw the event card when the chance is doubled during the event..."

Weiwei has been coveting that gold card called [Thinking Electric Field] for a long time.

[Gold·Scene: Thought Electric Field]

[Would thinking produce usable energy? The answer is of course, active thinking can produce more energy, and this pure energy can be converted into other uses]

[How to use: Used in conjunction with another scene card, the thinking electric field can be superimposed on the scene card to absorb and store the energy obtained by the scene card]

Pure electricity!

Speaking of active thinking, she felt that mentally ill people were quite active, so the clown could also recycle the waste and use it to generate electricity.

But the only problem is-

Can't draw!

Weiwei thought of drawing a card during this period. Because the card drawing discount only cost 80 diamonds, she drew a lot sporadically and got new clothes, ordinary buildings, and special materials, but the explosion rate of the gold card Not that high.

Now, she was dealt the cards again.

An ordinary single draw, an ordinary... silver light.

A silver card, second only to gold, Weiwei became slightly interested, and the card flipped over. She just glanced at it roughly at first, but after looking at it, she slowly sat up straight.

This card really needs to be "looked at" as it is very complex.

[Congratulations to the player for obtaining the event-limited silver card "Fantasy Township\
