When a few more days passed in the game world, Ge Zhaodu finally found a suitable place to build a shelter from the sentry rider's returns.
"Everyone in the audience, look at this place. The plain is sandwiched between relatively high mountains and a relatively wide river. It is quite small in area. It can be said to be a quite suitable place."
"Of course, other conditions are still lacking, but there's nothing I can do about it. This is the highest difficulty level of the game. I can't spend too much time in the wandering stage, otherwise it will be very difficult to face other crises later."
"And in the game "Forsaken Land", there is no one-click construction of a city. Instead, you have to go through the 'city construction negotiation' process."
After all, this is related to the safety of the entire team, so even if Locas/Ge Zhao is the leader, he cannot decide this alone.
The contents of the players tested at this time are divided into two categories. One is the prestige of the leader along the way, and the other is the current status.
The first type is closely related to the player's previous operation level. Every correct choice and instruction can increase the leader's prestige.
For example, people like Luokas/Ge Zhao, although somewhat ruthless, have led everyone here safely, and their prestige is quite high.
But some players are not good enough. They make various mistakes during the process, and their prestige value will be very low. This is a hidden contradiction in the team, which will be completely exposed at this time.
If the prestige value is too low, the team will oppose the player's actions, or even if they agree to build a city here, they will refuse to continue to be led by the player.
"Land Abandoned by Gods" allows leaders to be changed, but this change must be peaceful. If they are forcibly expelled, the game will be considered a failure.
The second category is the current status. This current status is also divided into two states. The first is the suitability of the chosen location, and the second is the overall status of the current team.
No matter how high your prestige is, if you say that we build the shelter in the ghost world, you will undoubtedly be rejected in the "negotiation" session.
Then there is the current state of the team. If the team's situation is already very bad and they are not allowed to continue traveling long distances, everyone will tolerate the poor geographical environment to a certain extent. Of course, there is a limit to this.
So the team began to discuss, and Ge Zhaodu did not fast forward the game time, so it was still noon. He had to always observe the feedback from the sentry knight to avoid missing some important things because of fast forwarding time.
Ge Zhaodu would often move the camera to the middle to show the audience the ongoing city-building discussions between Luokas/Ge Zhao and others at this moment and there.
Shihai Studio has produced a very powerful AI for "The Land Abandoned by Gods". When they discuss building a city, various discussions will be continuously generated by the program.
"Everyone, let's establish a stronghold there," Locas/Ge Zhao pointed to the flat land not far away and expressed his opinion.
Since losing an arm during his last exploration, Suo Jian had to withdraw from the sentinel team, but because of his outstanding strength and character, he was promoted to guard captain.
Therefore, during this city construction discussion, Suo Jian was qualified to be invited to think and vote on Ge Zhao's suggestions.
Suo Jian was the first to express his objection: "Sir Locas, since you let us speak freely, I will say it. I don't think this is a suitable area."
"The water flow of the river is too small, the plains are not flat enough, and the forests are relatively barren. Although it is far away from the big cities, I don't think it is suitable for building a city."
Regarding what Suo Jian just said, Ge Zhaodu explained to the audience: "What this person means is that because there is a lack of water and not many resources here, he is opposed to building a city here."
"But let me tell you, in the low-to-medium difficulty of "Gods Abandoned Land", the distance from the danger zone is indeed a secondary factor. The first thing to consider is resources."
"But for my game on the highest difficulty level, the danger zone is the most important factor to consider, and the resource issue is secondary."
Luokas/Ge Zhao heard that his words were opposed, and there was no angry expression on his face: "I also know what you said, this is not a suitable area."
There must be a but after such words, and sure enough, it came here: "But I think you ignored another point, that is, there is not much time."
When he mentioned time, everyone in the meeting couldn't help but raise their heads and look up at the sun in the sky. How long the dim sun can exist will be the time they were born.
"You should know that the time for the sun to appear in the sky is getting shorter and shorter. If the sun disappears completely and eternal night falls, who knows what will happen?"
What Luokas/Ge Zhao said directly silenced everyone present. Yes, the duration of the sun in the sky was getting shorter and shorter, and they didn't have much time left to waste.
"I also know that if we keep walking, we may find a better area, but how long will it take? When we find a better area, will there be time for us to build a stronghold? Can any of you guarantee this?"
There was still silence for a while. What Ge Zhao said were very practical issues. Who can guarantee that if we continue walking, we can find better areas? Who can say for sure how long the sun will last?
If not, the greatest responsibility to the fleeing team is to start building a stronghold as early as possible and prepare for the eternal night after the sun disappears.
"Another point in the persuasion trade-off is the fear of the coming of eternal night. The sun will disappear. This fear will also force them to build strongholds as early as possible to cope with the coming of eternal night."
So Lokas/Ge Zhao's proposal was approved, and they would build a city here to survive the dark years after the catastrophe.
"Are you going to settle here?" Yang Wenshou looked at the desolate suburbs, feeling worried in his heart. Compared with the city where he used to live, there was no comparable place here.
But what can be done about this? Even the great Sun God has fallen. How can I, an ordinary mortal, hope to continue my past life?
Thinking of this, Yang Wenshou felt a fear for the future and worry about himself in his heart, but he quickly suppressed this feeling. After all, for him now, survival is the most important thing.
You are about to start building a new city, and you can expect that there will be heavy work waiting for you in the next period of time.
Yang Wenshou is not dissatisfied with the heavy work, and even has some vague expectations, because in this way, he can use exhaustion to dispel his random thoughts.
"Hope value," Ge Zhaodu used his mouse to draw a line on the status bar at the bottom of the screen. "You must pay attention to this status. Once you fall into despair, you will give up on yourself."
"It's more troublesome for me on the highest difficulty. If you lose all hope on normal difficulty, you'll commit suicide. On the highest difficulty, it's easy to commit suicide."
"That is, I refused to hang myself on the southeast branch, and I had to bring other people or even the entire camp with me. My second level was that my hope collapsed. Then when the monster wave attacked the city, I took the initiative to destroy the city wall and brought the whole city to play ball. "
