Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Su Li flipped through the booklet she had given them, looking at the function descriptions one by one.

Each person has 4 votes and can choose 4 functions from a variety of options.

[Blue Star City Stable: 5%] (Recommended by Blue Star Government)

Introduction: The Blue Star City, where the Blue Star Civilization is located, is currently experiencing spatial instability. After a hundred days of observation, it has been discovered that the edges of Blue Star City are constantly collapsing and entering the void.

Currently, it does not affect the safety of residents, but according to observations, the collapse is accelerating and is ultimately a potential hazard. For the safety of the logistics base, the United Government hopes everyone will first stabilize Blue Star City.

Once activated, it can continuously consume the energy of the Flame of Civilization to stabilize Blue Star City.

Note: The energy of the Flame of Civilization can be replenished through resident activities and player exploration activities. The Origin of the World and the Foundation of Civilization can increase the energy cap, which can unlock more functions.

Su Li nodded; this option was still worth choosing. Of the options currently available, Energy Level Stabilization and World Filtering were the most critical, as they concerned the player's life.

Now that the players' lives are safe, it's time to protect the people at the logistics base.

In Blue Star City, many players have family members living here. Su Li's whole family are explorers, and there are quite a few players as well. The men in her family go out to explore the world, while the elderly, wives, and children live in Blue Star City.

Su Li felt that, barring any exceptions, this would definitely pass. He voted for the feature.

Train development: 5%

Description: Consume civilizational resources to develop new train facilities. Depending on the amount of world essence invested, different civilizational resources will result in different train equipment.

Minimum input is 5%, and shipments are random.

"Isn't this just gacha? A weapon gacha pool?" Su Li couldn't help but complain. She never expected to end up in the void, playing a survival game for everyone, and the second gamer is still chasing her.

Zurich rejected this idea. We can try our luck with it later, but not now.

Transaction tax: 5%

Introduction: Transactions are no longer subject to transaction tax. Instead, they consume the energy of the Flame of Civilization. Each person has a different free quota based on their contribution to the world. Exceeding this quota requires paying transaction tax again.

The credit limit will gradually be restored as the exploration activities progress.

Su Li rubbed her temples. This is actually quite good. It can save a lot of resources. Low-level players really need this feature.

Nowadays, low-level players are so frugal with their resources that they practically have to stretch them to their limit.

He also rose through the ranks from a low level, but there was no transaction tax when he was at that level. If there had been a transaction tax back then, his development would have been much more difficult.

"Please help them out, we're all compatriots."

Su Li hesitated for a long time, sighed, and cast her vote on this option.

[Treasure Chest Distribution Rate: 15%]

Description: Slightly increases the number of chests in world fragments.

Su Li felt that this was an option that everyone preferred.

However, he did not vote.

"Slightly" was a quantifier he had never seen before in the game system, and it seemed to indicate a very small range.

Su Li glanced at it; this option could be enhanced multiple times. Su Li thought this was suitable for later stages, when there were only so many money to spend.

[Prize Pool Optimization: 10%]

Description: When a world fragment is no longer suitable for the Blue Star civilization, the energy of the Flame of Civilization is consumed to transfer the reward pool corresponding to the current world's rewards (including beast tide rewards and treasure chest rewards) from the current world's exclusive reward pool to the universal reward pool.

Su Li likes this. Although there is a world filtering function, it is still possible to draw a world fragment of a non-human civilization.

It would be so frustrating to fight tooth and nail only to find useless junk in the treasure chests.

Zuli cast her third vote on this option.

[Exploration time increased by 10%]

Description: When choosing a world to explore, you can extend the exploration time. You can choose whether to extend the exploration on the seventh day. The maximum extension is one month.

Su Li also really liked this feature; he had long felt that the exploration time was a bit too short. Some worlds were very valuable and worth spending more time exploring. They also didn't have to worry about the 7-day limit and could use other vehicles to explore more distant places.

Zuli cast her final vote on this option.

[Fast Connection: 10%]

Description: Increases the speed of homing and reduces the time spent traveling through the void.

Zurich doesn't really matter to me. Players who prioritize stat allocation might enjoy this, as the void voyage after exploration can sometimes last for over a month. For stat-allocation players, the goal is to kill as many monsters as possible, and this month-long voyage is essentially like being imprisoned.

Su Li felt that, overall, this game encouraged players to engage in cultivation-based gameplay and provided more conveniences for those who focused on cultivation.

Su Li also looked at some of the other options and found that many of them were not suitable to be unlocked right now.

After waiting for a while, everyone was ready to vote, and the staff began to collect the ballots.

Then, the votes were counted on the spot in the conference room.

Looking at the results, Su Li saw that, as expected, the majority of people voted for the stability of Blue Star City, resulting in almost a unanimous vote. Now, only 10% of the civilization's foundation remained.

Then came prize pool optimization and transaction tax, which were fiercely contested. In the end, transaction tax emerged victorious, taking second place, while prize pool optimization came in third.

Su Li was a little surprised because most of those who voted were top players. When they traded, they mostly used items like stones, wood, and unused monster materials to pay the transaction tax. The transaction tax didn't have much of an impact on them.

The first and second options both turned out to be more beneficial to lower-level players and residents of Blue Star City.

Su Li smiled with relief; it seemed everyone had a conscience.

The final result is out.

[Blue Star City is stable]

Transaction tax

[Prize Pool Optimization]

Strategist Zhou said, "In this vote, only the top 3 will be retained. The total cost is 20% of the civilization's resources, and we only have 15%. We will unlock the Blue Star City stability and transaction tax items shortly. Once the prize pool optimization is unlocked, we will reorganize the vote."

Zurich nodded in agreement.

With that, the first item on the agenda of this meeting came to an end.

Next comes the various plans for Blue Star City.

Su Li listened to it briefly as well.

First, Blue Star City will develop its industry. It will begin providing aid supplies such as standard ammunition, firearms, and medicine.

In terms of people's livelihood, the daily necessities factory in Blue Star City has been completed and will gradually provide everyone with high-quality food and daily necessities, improving the quality of life for players.

After the Great Serpent Lord is fully integrated, they will begin large-scale cultivation of various magical potions and breeding of monsters. Their plan is to gradually provide Sophia's Serpent Soup to players of all levels.

After seeing the attributes of Sophia's snake soup, Sophia immediately sent a message asking what happened and why her friend requests suddenly exploded.

Finally, we encourage everyone to join unions in their respective professions, exchange ideas, and learn from each other to improve.

Besides that, there were some other minor things that Zuli didn't care about much.

This spokesperson is definitely from the summer heat; he often speaks in languages ​​that Zurich doesn't quite understand, sounding a lot like a news broadcast or a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It seems that Zhou Junshi also noticed this problem, and halfway through his speech, he suddenly switched to plain language, which allowed Su Li to understand the whole thing.
