Chapter 228:



Since they were building houses for themselves, of course they couldn’t be careless.

Without even needing Grayman and Bricklayer to urge them on, they very actively engaged in the work of making new house molds under the leadership of their respective foremen.

They had simple blueprints drawn by Bricklayer in hand, and for the past 4 days, they had learned how to make these not-so-intricate things under Bricklayer’s hands-on guidance. Therefore, the Stonemason’s Guild’s two “designers” no longer needed to oversee the site for the upcoming work.

They had already been assigned a new task, and this task was giving the two design research students quite a headache.

“Tsk tsk, designing the new city plan for Crimson Citadel, that’s equivalent to being responsible for planning a small county town, can you guys do it?”

In the tent of the Pioneer Camp, three administrative professionals sat with Grayman and Bricklayer, studying the side quest that Grayman had just triggered, while Bricklayer was lost in thought, contemplating his career path.

It turns out that the trials for administrative professions are indeed a bit easier than combat professions. From Grayman’s experience, as long as he could lead the completion of the construction of the survivor residential area, he would become an “official village chief”.

Not to mention various administrative profession benefits, just the ability to have 4 guards!

Tsk tsk, now he would be so impressive when going on inspections, should he choose 4 female soldiers like Half Off With Full Coverage?

And give them cool armor to wear.

Hah, just thinking about it was a bit exciting.

“What are you smiling about, looking so lecherous, did you think of something good?”

Bulldozer Man Charging suddenly asked, startling Bricklayer from his beautiful fantasy. He immediately coughed twice and said with a serious expression:

“I was thinking about this important side quest for Grayman and me. We’ve discussed planning a city before, and it’s something we two simply can’t do on our own. This isn’t a modern city, and there isn’t much information about this online.

We can’t just take an existing template and modify it either, because there are just too many things to consider.”

“So what?” Bulldozer Man Charging tossed berries from the table into his mouth, chewing with his mouth full of juice, and said:

“You’ve already triggered an important side quest, you’ve been entrusted with the task of building a city, you can’t possibly give up on the quest, can you?”

“Besides, don’t underestimate yourselves. Although you might see yourselves as novices in this field, I dare say that among all the people in Transia right now, including the gnolls and kobolds, no one is more professional in this aspect than you two.

So go ahead and do it boldly!

At worst, it’ll just be a bit ugly, the NPCs won’t care.

It’s just a matter of being mocked by future players, right? And this is an opportunity to independently take charge of a super project!”

Bulldozer Man Charging’s eyes lit up as he said:

“Think about it carefully, who in the real world would give such a big project to you two students who haven’t even graduated yet to practice on? Even if it doesn’t involve your professional field, just the management and operational experience you’ll accumulate after completing this process will be enough for you to benefit from for a lifetime.

This is much better than doing some damn internship at a design company.

This is real work where you can learn skills.”

“Mm, Bulldozer is right,” Dump Truck Iaido nodded and said:

“It’s indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, just do your best, don’t feel pressured.”

“No!” Grayman was being stubborn at this point.

He pushed up the noble glasses on his nose bridge, stroking the design drawings beside him, and said:

“I’m not really concerned about being mocked, the main problem is that this is the first city in Transia. No matter how much we ignore its political significance, we can’t change the reality that as soon as this city is born, it will become the capital of this land.

This is our ‘newbie village’!

If we just muddle through it casually, it might bring quite terrible negative impacts to our future gaming career, and Lord Murphy has entrusted this important task to us, we can’t let him down!”

“You’ve gone crazy from playing this game!”

Half Off With Full Coverage sneered and said:

“No matter how perfect Lord Murphy is, he’s still just an NPC, and this is just a task you need to face. It’s good to empathize with people, but you need to distinguish between reality and virtual. I can understand your thoughts, but the problem is we don’t have a way now, do we?”

“No, there is a way!”

Grayman rubbed his brow hard, he seemed to have made a difficult decision, and then slapped the table saying:

“I want to bring my mentor in. He has similar experiences and has enough knowledge and experience to preside over such a big plan.”

“Old Chen?”

Bricklayer was stunned, then said with a wry smile:

“Don’t be silly. Although Old Chen is very interested in the construction plans of Kadman City and always asks about this and that, it doesn’t mean he’ll come and play games with us. He’s a proper old professor, an academic giant in the circle.

Although he’s about to retire, he’s still very busy every day.

How would he have time to mess around with us?”

“Of course it wouldn’t work before,” Grayman rolled his eyes and said:

“Haven’t you been watching the news these past few days? That big flu is getting worse and worse. When I went to the cafeteria for lunch yesterday, I heard some teachers from the neighboring department say that the school might be locked down. Old Chen can’t attend several of his meetings either. Why do you think he’s been so free these past few days?”

“Oh, right, that big flu.”

Dump Truck Iaido also recalled the news he heard when having dinner with some buddies yesterday. He said with some concern:

“I heard from some of my friends abroad that they’ve started hoarding medicines and masks over there. It’s really causing panic. Although it hasn’t happened in our country yet, I guess measures will be taken soon.”

“I heard there might be a city lockdown,”

Half Off With Full Coverage said in a low voice:

“I have friends in high places who sent me messages, telling me to stock up on some things. Let’s not talk about reality, just about this matter at hand. Are you sure you can invite your mentor in? And how about the invitation code?”

“Let’s ask Brother Alpha to make an exception,”

Grayman shrugged and said:

“Didn’t you say exceptions were made before? During the battle prevention at Smuggler’s Woods, didn’t Meow King ask the test group to get an invitation code for Stick? Besides, Brother Alpha said on the forum last time that they need professionals to enter the game now to help test various functions.

I think with Old Chen’s status, giving an extra headset is just a matter of Brother Alpha submitting a report to the development team.

But I need to talk to him first.”

“Then I’ll go check out the terrain of those planned farms,”

Bricklayer stood up and said:

“Try to get the planning map done before logging off today. It’s just farms, it can’t be harder than building a city, right?”

“Let’s go together, let’s go together.”

The three camp manager brothers also stood up.

They had all received tasks from Miss Miriam, and the upcoming farm construction also needed to draw manpower from under their command to assist. As middle-level leaders in Crimson Citadel’s current ruling system and the “leading horses” among administrative players, the three brothers must shoulder the responsibility of manpower mobilization and the promotion and application of the new order.

This is also the main game content for these administrative players.

It does sound a bit boring, not as exciting as fighting and killing, but as said before, the definition of “fun” is different in everyone’s eyes. There are always people who can find different kinds of happiness from these “special gameplay”.

Not to mention, when the three brothers ride on tall horses, followed by 4 or 5 secretaries, and a total of 12 clearly armored guards marching out in grand fashion.

Tsk, that scene is quite impressive.

——

“That’s how things are, Brother Alpha. I know this doesn’t conform to the rules of our test group, but it’s indeed a special situation, so I hope you can submit a report to the development team to apply for it.”

Grayman sent a message to the administrator Alpha on the forum, explaining his ideas and the difficulties he’s currently facing.

Alpha, respectfully called “Brother Alpha” by the testers, was as Duty-Bound as ever and quickly replied.

Alpha: 【Sure, this kind of thing isn’t against the rules. In fact, the development team has been inviting professionals from various fields to participate in the game development and modification process, but not every expert is willing to participate in the project, which also gives us a headache.

If you’re sure you can invite your mentor to participate in the testing process, the development team would be very happy.

But the question is, can you convince your mentor?

You need to understand, little brother Grayman, the rules of the current testing phase are entirely voluntary. We can’t ignore your mentor’s personal wishes and forcibly send him a headset, can we?】

Heaven’s Chosen Grayman: 【Hehe, as long as you don’t make things difficult, I’ll go persuade Old Chen to fill out the test application right away.】

Alpha: 【Wait a moment, download this and transfer it to your mobile device. I’ve given you special download permissions.】

After saying this, Alpha sent a compressed package marked as 《Shaldor Engineering Academy Architects’ Study on Foreign Architectural Styles – Elves and Sanghai General Outline》. This impressive but confusing name left Grayman bewildered.

Then he activated the download permission and downloaded this compressed package to his tablet. After decompression, there were two documents in a folder, both already translated into Chinese.

The first was about the architectural style of Castilia elves, including an overview and diagrams. The second was about the unique architectural style of the Sanghai Empire in the origin land.

The two quite professional papers were authored under the name of a certain halfling architect, with a watermark stating 《Reality Realm – Development Team Modeling and Story Background Setting Internal Document – Strictly Confidential》.

“Damn, awesome! Look at the strength of this development team! It’s made-up stuff but it looks just like a real paper!”

Grayman excitedly shouted.

He certainly knew why Brother Alpha gave him these two documents.

This was meant to be bait, with Old Chen as the “lucky koi” that must take the hook.

The cunning graduate student thought carefully for a moment, then opened his mentor’s communication and sent over the two documents without saying much more. He casually ordered takeout for himself and Bricklayer.

Just as he finished eating fried chicken and was happily drinking soda, the communication on his phone started ringing like crazy.

He picked it up and looked, not surprisingly.

Hey, Old Chen took the bait.

Diligent and Industrious: 【Where did you find these materials? Is this from the documents in that game of yours? Can young people nowadays make up stories to such a realistic extent? What style exactly are the architectural aesthetics of these elves and Sanghai people based on?

How can they use plant vines and trees themselves as building materials?

And!

Can’t you send the full thing when you send stuff, you little devil?

You only sent the overview of both papers, what are you trying to do? Tease me?】

Heaven’s Chosen Grayman: 【Hehe, mentor, it’s not that I don’t want to send the full version, but the development team only gave me this much. This is an internal document, as you can see, it’s clearly a textbook from a background force in the game.

We haven’t pushed the plot to that stage yet.

Why don’t you come in and see for yourself?

You can guide your student’s work while you’re at it.

I’m not exaggerating, the NPCs have asked me and my junior to plan and build a city for them. Although it’s only equivalent to a small county town on our side, we two can’t handle it, so we need a pillar like you to step in.】

Diligent and Industrious: 【??? I occasionally watch my grandson play games, and although I don’t understand much, doesn’t he just click a couple of times on the screen and it’s done?

What’s the matter? Can’t you two click the mouse? Or can’t you look up guides?

Surely you’re not worse than my teenage grandson?】

Heaven’s Chosen Grayman: 【Oh my, it’s hard to explain to you. How about this? You fill out a test application first. I’ve already sorted out the relationship with the development team. As long as you submit the application, they’ll send a headset over. You’ll be able to enter Transia by tomorrow at the latest.

Then, you’ll know what kind of hot potato your student has taken on.】

After saying this, he copied the test invitation link from the forum and sent it to his mentor. A few minutes later, his mentor replied:

Diligent and Industrious: 【Why do I need to fill in my communication address and contact information? Are you sure this isn’t some new type of scam? Be honest, are you being threatened by someone? Are you now trying to drag this old man down with you?

If it’s true, you should report to the police immediately! Or should I report for you?】

Heaven’s Chosen Grayman: 【Your vigilance is too high, isn’t it? I didn’t consider these things when I filled it out. Don’t worry, mentor, quite a few students in our school are playing it, it’s definitely not a scam. By the way, do you think I would dare to joke about this with you when my graduation is at stake?】

Diligent and Industrious: 【Hmm, that’s true. Then how should I fill in this ‘specialties’ column?】

Heaven’s Chosen Grayman: 【Just take a photo of those awards you’ve won and upload it.】

Diligent and Industrious: 【No way, what if someone uses my photo and identity to do bad things? I’ve heard that there are many incidents of fake photos online nowadays. A professor from the neighboring college had his identity information impersonated.

He was almost arrested in the end.

I’ll just write ‘construction site supervisor’.】

Heaven’s Chosen Grayman: 【Alright, alright, whatever you say. Anyway, I’ve already talked with the test group, they know your academic value. I’ll go into the game to prepare for you first. When the headset arrives, call me, and I’ll teach you how to use it.

You can also check out the posts on the forum, there are special tutorials for newcomers. If you don’t understand anything, just ask me.

I’m more or less a veteran player now, already one of the only four village chiefs in the game.】

Diligent and Industrious: 【Ah? What’s a ‘village chief’? Is it some kind of game profession? The more you say, the more confused I am. Why do I feel like you’re not playing a game but participating in some kind of pioneering?】

Heaven’s Chosen Grayman: 【Oh, it’s really hard to explain. Let’s talk after you enter the game. Didn’t you always teach us to see is to believe?】

Diligent and Industrious: 【Fine! But let’s make things clear upfront, Little Du. If you’re making fun of this old Chen, then we’ll have to reconsider your graduation. Anyway, the employment situation hasn’t been good these few years. Why not stay with me for a few more years.

This old man can still support you two.】

Heaven’s Chosen Grayman: 【No, please, mentor!】

Diligent and Industrious: 【Regretting now? Too late! I want to see what kind of mischief you two are up to.】
