I'm the mayor of a simulated ghost city

[Mayor, welcome back. Now the town has no power supply facilities and residents have difficulty using electricity. The coal power plant you unlocked has been stored in your construction module. Please use the construction module to place the coal power plant in a suitable area.]

As soon as Lu Yao returned home, he logged into the game page of the simulated ghost market. When he entered the game, it was still night, and every house had its lights off, making it very eerie when walking on the streets.

It’s worthy of being called a ghost market!

It's a pity that only she can play with this thing. Otherwise, if she could bring others to this ghost market, wouldn't it be fun? Sharing joy with others is worse than enjoying it alone.

Lu Yao thought about it and floated to the edge of the city, to the downwind location, and placed the Guangming Power Plant on the top of the mountain. In an instant, the lush green land on the mountain turned gray.

"Oh, this is pollution."

[Woman, you also know that coal-fired power plants will pollute the environment? ]

Hearing the bossy voice coming from the system, Lu Yao admitted that she was a fickle woman, so she decisively switched to voiceover: "I'm so annoyed. I don't need you today. Give me a little puppy instead."

[Okay, sister.] As soon as the voice fell, the voice of the little dog appeared and continued, [Actually, sister, don’t worry. Let me tell you a secret. The municipal facilities in this city can be upgraded after reaching a certain level. Coal-fired power plants can also be upgraded to wind power generation, hydropower generation, lunar power generation...]

"Wait, what is moon energy?" Lu Yao interrupted the little boy's tireless introduction. She had heard of wind energy, hydropower, even tidal energy and biomass, but this moon energy?

Is that what she understood?

The little dog responded: [Of course the moon energy is the moon energy. We are a ghost market, there can't be the sun. ]

Come to think of it, Lu Yao had never entered the game during the day, so he said: "Could it be that the simulated ghost market is also like this during the day?"

[No, it still looks like daytime, but our sun is just a painting.]

“…”Yes, it has to be you!

Lu Yao knew that the ghost market system was an unreliable thing. Thinking of this, Lu Yao was too lazy to continue nagging him. She didn't even need to ask him at what level the municipal facilities could be upgraded. Her little puppy would definitely say, "You have to discover it yourself."

So after clicking the construction confirmation button, Lu Yao soon saw the entire city light up, and the one-to-one restored Guangming Power Plant stood in front of Lu Yao.

But compared to the power plant in the real world, the Lu Yao in front of him is not scary at all, and there are no ghosts.

By the way, speaking of ghosts, Lu Ming did not come out with Lu Yao. After the police came to take over the follow-up work, Lu Ming disappeared. He did not run onto Sister Lan like she did, but ran away, probably back to the Guangming Power Plant in the real world. After all, Lu Yao did not complete the task of unlocking Lu Ming, so he should not be able to get out.

However, it was precisely because of Lu Ming's question that Lu Yao suddenly had a rare thought: how did these ghosts come into being? How do they exist? And what is the relationship between this game in her hand and the world of ghosts?

Why can she unlock the ghost by completing the mission?

"Ah! My head hurts. I've never been this tired in my four years of studying programming."

Lu Yao shook her head and decided to take things one step at a time. After all, she was doing the simulated ghost market and completing the mission just to save her life.

This ghost market didn't give her any awesome rewards, such as immortality, so for now she just had to maintain her life, nothing profitable, so she just lay down and play!

To be honest, Lu Yao, who had successfully completed two tasks, was a little inflated at this point.

Just as I was thinking about this, a voice came from the Little Dog System: [Congratulations, sister, the power plant construction task is completed, and a large number of citizens have poured into your city. Your city satisfaction is gradually increasing. Warm reminder, there are still unused gift packs on your building page. ]

"Gift package?" Lu Yao stretched out his hand and waved, and saw that there was indeed a skull gift package on the page of the holographic display screen.

With a twitch of his lips, Lu Yao clicked on the gift package, and a cemetery module appeared on the page.

"So, tell me, this simulated ghost market is either inhabited by ghosts or NPCs, so what is the purpose of a cemetery? To increase faith?" As she spoke, Lu Yao placed the cemetery in the suburbs not far from her residential area, less than 5 kilometers away.

However, after the cemetery was built, the housing prices in this community actually increased!

The system ignored Lu Yao's astonishment and muttered: "Sister, don't worry about such a small problem. The key now is that we have a cemetery, and you can hear the voices of the citizens. 】

"It's as if I couldn't hear it before." Lu Yao said, recalling.

In the past, every time she completed a construction, citizens would clamor, "Oh no, there's no water," "Oh no, there's no electricity," forcing her to unlock the new municipal system within 24 hours each time. It can be seen that hearing the voices of citizens is not a good thing.

[Sister, the voices we can hear in the cemetery are not the meaningless ones you heard before. This time, we can hear their needs from the bottom of their hearts. Please listen carefully.]

At this time, Lu Yao passed by a residential area called Shenghuayuan and heard the girl's voice: "God, please bless me, please help me find her."

[Sister, listen to how sincere you are.] The system's voice rang in Lu Yao's ears, and he burst into tears.

Well...indeed, the girl's request sounded urgent and eager.

Lu Yao was slightly moved, and after a while of understanding, he said clearly: "So... I am God?"

System: [...Well, whatever you want. However, if you help the citizens fulfill their personal demands, there will also be generous special rewards.]

"What reward?"

[Okay, let's take a look at today's rewards first. ]

"What exactly is the reward, and how do I complete it?"

[Okay, today Mayor Lu Yao built power supply facilities and citizen faith facilities in the city. In recognition of the mayor's achievements, the mayor will receive 5 points. These points can be exchanged for rewards. Please select the following rewards...]

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm asking you. How do you accomplish this?"

[1. Survival skills (required score 1 point): Vision. People have seven senses. Are you still troubled by not being able to see ghosts? From now on, mom will no longer have to worry about you not being able to see ghosts. Take your vision skill and you will see interesting things in the dark. ]

Lu Yao: “…”

[2. Life Skills (Required Points: 3): The axe of Yueqin, the king of fighting weapons. Young man, is this the golden axe or the silver axe that you dropped? If you get it, you will have super strong fighting power.]

[3. Awesome Skills (This skill has not been unlocked yet and needs to be unlocked after the town is upgraded to a county town. Note: The current town growth value is 60%. After completing two to three tasks, the town will be upgraded.) ]

[4. Pretending skill (this skill has not been unlocked yet and needs to be unlocked after the town is upgraded to a prefecture-level city). ]
