Chapter 109: Simulation Management

That same evening, Chen Zhi announced the successful audit results on the forum. Not many players passed the audit—only 17 people, and among them, quite a few were groups of people taking out loans together to open shops.

You'eryuan: I actually thought I wouldn't pass this. Thanks to Bishop Andrew; he truly understands the importance of a grocery store.

Bantian Yingtao: That's great! I can open a Chinese restaurant. My family makes stir-fry dishes, so everyone is welcome to come and support me when I open.

Liu Lulu 124: Why didn't my application for a bowling alley pass! Isn't it said that nobles all know how to play bowling?

Luolita to Liu Lulu 124: I think your reference might be a bit off. After all, the nobles in this era go hunting...

Feng Buxi: Hahahaha, I bought a stake in Ai Ai's art studio. I can earn quite a bit by helping out, and we are currently painting murals for the Sun God Cult. It's bound to be very popular when the time comes!

Mengmeng: I looked through the audit, and it's truly unexpected that not a single person is doing a clothing business.

Mengmeng: There is.

Zhuguli: It's good enough that there's Traditional Chinese Medicine. Those who want to be a Hunter can ask the player named Compendium of Materia Medica for prices. Even if you don't catch any prey, gathering herbs should earn you a decent amount of money.

Luoye Tingqiu: You guys need to be serious when you submit your applications. My grandfather said some of you even submitted a casino. Is that a proper business?

Beichuan Long to Luoye Tingqiu: Get yourself a Helmet first before you talk.

Luoye Tingqiu: o(╥﹏╥)o

After the list was announced, the players were already privately researching how to operate their businesses. After all, the initial application was just a rough concept, and they didn't have any other ideas yet.

Now that it's about to be implemented, the priority is to make money, pay off the loans, and then only pay rent afterward, slowly managing things in the game...

Although it is money in the game and the players don't feel much pressure borrowing it, they still hope to pay it off once they actually borrow it.

Besides, with so many players applying and only this many passing the audit, they definitely have to make the most of it.

Of course, players who didn't need to apply also hope they can perform well.

While the players were discussing, Ye Laoshi had already organized his lecture notes.

He discovered that when he was in the game, he could completely understand what was being said in the Tana Language. His efficiency during class was extremely fast, as if he were learning ordinary language knowledge. However, after returning to the real world, it was as if he had forgotten the content of the Tana Language, and he had to rely on his notes if he wanted to review.

The benefit, however, was that his notes were very complete. The meaning of every word could be accurately expressed, and if one only memorized these words, they could learn the Tana Language very quickly.

As for the pronunciation, it wasn't difficult; one could learn it entirely through the recordings. The audit seemed to have gathered all his recordings, marked them, and uploaded them directly to the learning section of the official website.

Ye Laoshi didn't think there was any problem with this, and by teaching the class, he could also help those players who couldn't attend for various reasons to acquire knowledge.

Therefore, he also posted his notes on the forum. These notes helped the players a great deal, especially those in the Military Camp. The War Church wouldn't teach players any language; as long as they could understand orders and learn how to fight, that was enough.

And the War Church players weren't comfortable entering the Wisdom Church's classrooms. After all, by the time they returned from patrol, it was already time for class, and changing clothes wouldn't be very convenient.

This greatly facilitated the veteran players in the War Church, especially since they already had a foundation and had notes to cross-reference.

Yaohuanghuang: Sigh, I've never worked this hard even when learning English, but my girlfriend insists that I get a Helmet for her too.

Shuruima Dalu to Yaohuanghuang: Shouldn't you be kicked out for that?

You'eryuan to Yaohuanghuang: That's going too far, isn't it?

Ye Laoshi to Yaohuanghuang: I've already finished translating for my spouse. I estimate the Helmet will be delivered in a few days.

Luoye Tingqiu to Ye Laoshi: QAQ, then what about my Helmet?

Ye Laoshi to Luoye Tingqiu: Wait a little longer. I translate very quickly. The grammar of the Tana Language isn't difficult, and the planners didn't require the translation to be one hundred percent accurate. With your two seniors helping, the speed is still quite fast. You can also listen to more classes, study, and translate it yourself.

Luoye Tingqiu: o(╥﹏╥)o

It must be said that because they knew translating could provide an opportunity to obtain a Helmet, quite a few players came to learn.

Even beyond the official promotional PV, the content with the most clicks was related to learning.

It completely turned the entire trend of the forum into a learning-oriented one.

It wasn't just language learning; because they needed to refine steel, technical exchanges also emerged.

Because Zhongshan Laoren was the one who proposed forging ironware and refining iron and steel, he became the moderator of the section. He needed to translate the content here into a way that Andrew could understand, and then proceed with the smelting.

Now, the players' biggest problem is how to make coke.

Andrew can get a lot of pig iron, but he can't get coal.

The entire Tana City doesn't use coal, and no one goes to excavate it because people in Tana City only need to burn wood to cook. There is no coal or gas here, and because of the climate, no one goes to mine it.

Therefore, what the players are worried about is the temperature issue.

This requires turning a large amount of timber into charcoal. Fortunately, Tana City has no requirements regarding deforestation, but wanting to cut down forests to refine steel is truly too troublesome.

Just burning the moisture out of the trees produces an unknown amount of smoke.

The players argued endlessly about this because some people didn't want to destroy the forest for the sake of refining steel.

Taoyao Yao: I always feel that cutting down the forest isn't good. The reason there are so many resources in the forest now is because the trees protect them. If they were gone, it would be easier for the Barbarian to invade, which only has disadvantages and no benefits for us.

Keruistiting: There's no need to discuss this issue. This situation is inevitable during the process of development. We can plant trees after cutting them down. Doesn't Tana City have the protection of some Earth Goddess? It's not impossible to restore forest growth using divine power. Besides, how many trees can we cut? Once we mine coal or have the money to buy coal, we won't need to cut down trees.

Shuruima Dalu: I think you have a bit of a misunderstanding about the size of this forest, and who knows, you might be able to find coal mines in the mountains.

Zhongshan Laoren was also conflicted. Indeed, in the process of human development, there have been instances of deforestation.

Tana City also cuts down trees to light fires and cook. Selling firewood is also a decent business in Tana City. Although it can't compare to places that are colder in winter, in Tana City, seeing cooking smoke is a very normal thing.
