I, who only know how to play games, am regarded as a god by the whole world.

After finishing the city's medical system, Xu Mu installed a garbage dump for the citizens.

The construction cost of the dump is 10,000 gold, and the daily maintenance fee is as high as 500 gold/day.

Moreover, this is pure urban maintenance expenditure and cannot be profitable from it.

Many players complained that their city's bankruptcy started from this garbage dump.

But Xu Mu still has a small trick.

He spoke eloquently.

"Taking out garbage is just what the citizens need, but the maintenance fee is too expensive, and the gain outweighs the loss."

"But it doesn't work. If the city is dirty and messy, it will directly affect the subsequent population occupancy rate."

"So, we can choose the location of the garbage station in the commercial area."

"Although it's a little far away for the citizens to take out the garbage, it's only two highways away, so it's just exercise."

A few words once again triggered a screen full of question marks.

"???"

"a little?"

"It's okay to turn over two high speeds to throw a piece of garbage, the speed of life and death, right?"

"Yan Wang: Yes, just throw it away like this."

Xu Mu ignored the light screen and continued on his own: "The more important thing is that we can use this method to drive consumption in the business district."

"Think about it, the citizens have traveled all the way to the business district, and they are all here, so they have to buy something before leaving."

"Should the boss of the business district be grateful to me?"

"People will definitely feel embarrassed if they always owe me favors, so I can give them a chance to repay them."

As Xu Mu said, he directly raised the tax rate of the business district from 0 to 20%.

One move directly confuses the player.

"No, if you do this, it will lose the happiness of the residential area, right?"

"And if the tax in the business district is increased, happiness will also be lost."

"I feel that the harm outweighs the benefit. Anyway, I dare not play like this."

Just when everyone hesitated, thinking that Xu Mu's handling of this wave was not very good.

I saw a few messages popping up on Gotham City's social platforms.

#Our mayor is so great! Can actually come up with a good way to put the garbage station in the commercial area! My store traffic is 200% higher than before! #

# Even if the tax is increased by 20%, I earn more than before, praise the mayor! #

#As long as there is money to be made, I would rather endure the stink of the garbage dump, which is nothing. #

The players were collectively stunned.

This... is it okay?

And that's not all.

Because the garbage station is too far away in the residential area, the group has indeed lost a wave of Xinfu index.

But the owner of the business district is making more money, and his happiness is directly bursting! From the original emerald green to a deep dark green!

When the two sides are balanced, Gotham City's overall residents' happiness index still maintains a high figure above 90!

This operation completely dumbfounded the players.

"????"

"Wori! Does this not lose happiness?"

""They Still Have to Thank Us"!"

"Absolutely! This idea is too clear!"

"What about the buddy who said he didn't dare to play like this just now? This is the gap between you and the quasi-god! Study hard, it's all about the details!"

"Ghost, how did the god master A come up with this idea? I learned it again! Hurry up and write it down!"

While a group of players sighed, Xu Mu quietly harvested tens of thousands of faith points.

Look back to the copy of "Skyline".

After the tax in the business district was raised to 20%, Gotham City finally ushered in its first pot of gold.

In addition to opening all the expenses, you can also earn an extra 2,000 gold a day with taxes.

When you have money, the first thing you need to do is to build roads.

In "Skyline", no matter whether it is a residential area or an industrial or commercial area, houses can only be built along the road.

Only when there are roads can the regions be divided.

With additional regional quotas, more people will move in.

Xu Mu re-named the current city center and named it Butterfly District.

The population of the Butterfly Zone is gradually saturated, and a new zone needs to be built!

A single asphalt road is pulled out above the butterfly area, and then a closed-loop road with a square frame is formed on the ground.

Asphalt roads cost 100 gold/unit, more expensive to build than regular dirt roads, and up to 0.5 gold/day per unit to maintain.

But the benefits are also obvious. Having wider roads reduces the risk of traffic jams and enables faster road speeds.

Xu Mu's thoughts are very clear.

Just a disaster... just finished helping the business district, now it is natural to help the veterans in the industrial district.

Give the veterans a more advanced road!

In this way, the large trucks they transport goods can make more trips a day, indirectly increasing logistics tax.

"Attention everyone, there is another detail here."

Xu Mu moved his thoughts and zoomed in on the bird's-eye view, so that the players could see a certain building more intuitively, and even pedestrians and vehicles walking on the street.

"When we built, if too many grids were selected, citizens would use a large area to build a building, and they even dared to build yards for themselves. This is an unforgivable thing. Moreover, In this way, the number of people that can be accommodated in one building will not increase.”

"So, we can zoom in on Gotham City, and then accurately plan each unit, so that citizens can only build buildings on a single grid."

"In this way, we can breed...sorry, we can settle more citizens."

Players: "???"

"You just said breeding, right?"

"Was it on purpose or by accident?"

"God's mouth!"

Ignoring the complaints, Xu Mu demonstrated it without blushing.

Sure enough, under his precise point-and-point planning, when the citizens on the factory side build buildings, they only occupy one unit at a time. The large factory building with an area of ​​10 grids is the same.

It's just that looking down from a distance, the densely packed small buildings look a little strange.

"It's just... like rows of cemeteries." Some players couldn't hold back.

"Hiss! What you said is really true!"

"Good guy! Just work in the factory until you die!"

"I originally thought that I was black-hearted enough. Compared with God A, I'm such a stinky brother..."

After arranging the factory buildings, it is natural to arrange corresponding residential areas.

Otherwise, you can't do without a labor force if you only have a factory!

The location of the new residential area was selected just above the factory building, and Xu Mu then framed a piece of land that was almost the same size as the new factory area, and planned it with precise placement.

Then, frame the two new areas and rename them - Kasamoto Industrial Park.

As we all know, people in small book countries are very particular about craftsmanship.

Therefore, inviting them to live in Gotham City and become a glorious migrant worker will surely give Gotham City a better future.

Of course, to be a worker, you have to look like a worker. The area in the city center is a high-consumption area, so it is not prepared for you Kasamoto.

In order to prevent you from going to the commercial street in the Butterfly District and spending the hard-earned money you earned in a month, I can only reluctantly help you cut off the connection with the city center and change the road to allow only trucks to pass.

Just let the Kasamoto workers eat and drink directly in the industrial park.

What?

cage?

Don't talk nonsense! We are human beings with a conscience.

As the mayor, you have to pay attention to a bowl of water!

Now that everyone has settled in Gotham City, they all have a chance to obtain Gotham City Hukou!

The people in the Kasamoto Industrial Zone are also human beings, and as long as they are human, they will yearn for life in a big city.

Therefore, citizens of the Kasamoto Industrial Zone who want to buy a house in the city center only need to pay 300% of the original price.

Probably all the savings of three generations can secure a Gotham City hukou in a down-to-earth manner.

After setting up all these, Xu Mu increased the tax rate of the industrial park to 30%.

"Will someone really move in like this..." the players watching the game asked puzzledly.

"The increase in population depends on the overall happiness of the residents." Xu Mu answered simply.

Just because a city is glamorous, it cannot be assumed that it does not have a poor side, there must be some rebels.

Soon, with the establishment of the new park, the population of Gotham City ushered in a wave of explosive growth again.

Taxes have also soared from the original 2,000 gold/day to nearly 5,000 gold/day.

The finances have changed from impoverished to now even a little rich, with a full 50,000 working capital.

Xu Mu followed suit and set up a primary school in the Butterfly District.

The happiness index of the surrounding residents has increased again!

A relative balance has been reached with the low happiness index of Kasamoto Industrial Zone.

The famous scientist Einstein once said in the book "The Theory of Relativity": You increase happiness, and I decrease happiness, which is equivalent to keeping the total happiness unchanged.

Immediately, Xu Mu called out the built-in hundred-fold time lapse of the dungeon.

Not long after, there was a crisp 'ding' buzzing.

Gotham City has successfully reached level 2 and has been upgraded to a wealthy village with a population of 2,000!

At the same time, the bank, fire station and police station are also unlocked.

Here comes another difficulty.

According to the law of "Skyline", what you have will be lacking.

After upgrading to a level 2 city, the bank fire station and the police station must be built.

If it is not repaired, the happiness index will drop. Once the index drops, the number of people willing to move in will decrease, and even a large number of residents will run away from home.

And the construction and maintenance fees of these three are not generally expensive!

The bank is the most affordable of the three, only needing 10,000 gold.

But the fire department and the police department are spending a lot of money.

It takes 20,000 gold per building to build.

Maintenance is as high as 5000 gold/day

After all, with the fire station, the house of the unscrupulous people will always catch fire for no reason, and the house will be burglarized for no reason.

On average, it costs 500 gold to maintain the police once.

In a village of 2,000 people, there are at least 10 fires and crimes every day, which can be described as a simple and honest Gotham City.

"Damn! The progress has finally come to me! I was bankrupt at this stage before!" Some players said indignantly.

"Crap! Me too! A group of scumbags are full and have nothing to do every day. They don't go home in the middle of the night and just hang out on the road, so they just hang out! When they are robbed, their happiness index starts to drop. I am numb!"

"The fire is outrageous. Either a wife caught fire while cooking, or a child playing with firecrackers caught fire. My city lives in dire straits every day."

"I guess the big boss A has another showy operation this time! He probably won't build a fire station or a police station."

"But if you don't build it, the citizens will directly lose their happiness... These gangsters are too fucking difficult to serve!"

"Wait for Master A to come up with a plan!"

Just when all the players were looking forward to Xu Mu's next operation.

Xu Mu finally made a move.

The fire station and the police station, of course, have to be built.

Just like what the players said, if it is not built, it will be regarded as an imperfect city, and a happiness value will come directly to Waterloo!

There is a very scary hidden chain reaction in Skyline.

Assume that the government's finances are not capable of rebuilding a city.

Once more than 30% of the population is lost, the city will be involved in the death and bankruptcy effect.

The logic goes like this.

When your city reaches a certain scale, your public facilities and buildings are fixed daily expenses. Even if the city is emptied, your fixed expenses still exist.

But your population has been lost, the value of production has fallen, and taxes will fall.

Once the tax revenue falls, the government will become poorer and unable to maintain the original fixed expenditure.

In this way, the happiness of the remaining citizens will continue to decline.

Then it entered the rhythm of death and bankruptcy effect.

The happiness value of the remaining citizens drops to a certain level and then moves away→→The city’s fiscal revenue further decreases→→Inability to maintain more equipment→→Citizens move out again.

The larger the size of the city, the greater the fixed expenses, and the less able it is to withstand the impact of death and bankruptcy.

In reality, every country has a central financial backstop. Even if a region goes bankrupt, the state can still help.

But in "Skyline", the city built by each player is an independent individual, and there is no possibility of the country to help.

Once involved in the death and bankruptcy effect, it is tantamount to sending mail directly.

Unless your city coffers can afford to completely rebuild the city once, or keep the tax exemption until the population returns to its original level.

Therefore, every time a city is upgraded, it is actually like a cultivator crossing a catastrophe, facing a dangerous impact brought about by "must improve city services".

The high expenditures of the current police station and fire station are likely to be the last straw that crushes Gotham City.

copy.

I saw that Xu Mu didn't talk nonsense, but directly dragged the copy interface, and pulled the perspective to the outskirts of Gotham City, a towering hill.

Then, under everyone's curious gaze.

There are two buildings on top of the hill.

One is the police station and the other is the fire station.

As soon as this action was taken, it instantly aroused the doubts of countless players watching the battle, and heated discussions erupted in an instant!

"ha?"

"Why are the police station and fire station here?"

"It's thousands of miles away from the Butterfly District in the center of Gotham. Master A, did you misplace your trembling hands?"

"Placing it here doesn't seem to increase the happiness value of the citizens. I tried it before! It can only be increased in areas where citizens are frequently active. And the denser the citizens, the higher the happiness value."

"Then what's going on?"

"I'm preaching, every operation of God A is beyond my expectation..."

at this moment.

"Look, the next step is the key to break the game." Following Xu Mu's soft words.

The lively light screen instantly quieted down.

All the players stared wide-eyed, staring at Xu Mu's actions in the dungeon without blinking, for fear of missing any details.

Want to see how he will resolve the new round of financial crisis.

Progress this month: 25/50
