Chapter 701 People Are Crazy About Civilization (27)
$700
"Supervisor, you can build wonders, which can greatly increase national income. It is very beneficial. The disadvantage is that the construction period is very long and consumes a lot of resources, so you need to make a choice and cannot build wonders unlimitedly."
"Supervisor, you should produce some combat units. Even if you don't engage in aggression, you must at least have the ability to protect yourself, otherwise someone will directly plunder you. A country without weapons is a money printing machine for others."
"Supervisor, the environment of this place is very good and very suitable for building farmland. I suggest that we grab this place and turn it into our own land. Anyway, the country that owns this land doesn't seem to have the idea of developing it."
"Supervisor, you need to wait for the next round."
"Supervisor, please don't be anxious..."
In the office of the department manager, Curtis kept giving the manager instructions on the civilization game.
"This game is interesting. Let's go to the next round."
With Curtis's instructions, the department manager gradually became familiar with the operation and gameplay of the entire game, and then he played it for a long time without realizing it.
The original job was actually quite easy, so he had plenty of time to do some easy things.
If the job itself was not relatively easy, he would not just worry about the personal safety of the three missing employees. He would have been anxious.
The department manager probably played for more than two hours in one go.
During this period, he did not realize the passage of time at all, and it felt like just a blink of an eye.
When he came to his senses, he suddenly realized that he had been playing for so long in one go, and he felt that he could continue playing.
Because he had just come out of the Stone Age, there was still the Bronze Age, and there were more eras waiting for him.
However, he was still quite rational and did not completely sink into it.
But he believed that if he was really given a relatively relaxed environment, he could really play for a long, long time, even without sleeping.
This seemed a little unbelievable to a man in his forties like him. He had always been cautious about staying up late in the past, but now he was thinking about staying up late to play such a game.
This made him realize one thing at once, and he turned his head to look at Curtis, who had now swept away his fatigue and became completely excited.
This guy...
"Curtis, you seem to have played this game for a long time. I saw on the page that it was released only four or five days ago. You haven't been playing this game these days, have you?"
Curtis was very excited at the moment. He felt very excited to watch others play the game of Civilization, and it was also very pleasant to give advice.
Especially when he gave advice to his superiors on how to play the game, it was an extraordinary feeling.
However, after hearing the supervisor's question, he was immediately shocked and became a little panicked.
"Ah, supervisor, I'm not... I didn't..."
The supervisor saw Curtis' panic and understood what was going on. After all, no one is a fool.
But he understood Curtis's previous concealment.
He said generously: "It's okay, no need to explain these, I actually understand it very well. After playing this game, I also found that this game is indeed very magical. I didn't do anything, but several hours have passed. If I play it a little more carefully, I may not sleep for several days and nights."
"I'm sorry, supervisor, I should tell the truth."
The supervisor said: "It's okay as I said. Now I basically understand why this game can make you so fascinated, but no matter what, the three guys who didn't come to work for several days in a row are definitely wrong. If the three of them really didn't respond because of this game, I will definitely not let them go."
Curtis shrank his neck. He was a little glad that he knew to come to work.
As for those three guys, they can only wish for the best.
"Go back and have a good rest. Entertainment and work need to be balanced. After all, you don't want to have no money to play games, right?"
"Supervisor, I understand, I will definitely pay attention."
After Curtis left, the supervisor stared at the screen of the civilization game still running in front of him.
Then he couldn't help but touch the mouse.
One more round...
The time now... well, it's eleven o'clock in the morning, so I'll play until lunch, and then start working in the afternoon.
He has made plans and plans.
However, reality is still more variable than the plan.
When he woke up, he found that it was dark outside.
He looked at the sky outside and blinked.
Forget it, I'll work hard tomorrow.
He took out his phone, and this time he called his wife.
"Hello, wife, there are some things in the company today, so I may be back later."
"Well, you eat with the children, I'll just eat a little at the company."
After hanging up the phone, the supervisor threw himself into the civilized game again.
He felt that he had found the long-lost feeling of youth.
The kind of feeling that he can stay up late for something he likes and consume all his energy.
However, his body at this age is still not as good as that of young people. He fell asleep at his desk without knowing it, and when he woke up, he was woken up by a phone call.
"Hello?"
He answered the phone in a daze.
"Hello, sir. Did you call the police yesterday to report that three of your employees had lost contact?"
"Yes, it was me."
"We have found the people. They were all staying at home playing the game called Civilization. There are many places where this kind of thing has happened in the past two days. It is really rare that a game can make so many people willing to stay up late for several days to play games. When we came to their door, these people looked haggard."
"Okay, I know. Thank you, Mr. Police."
The supervisor hung up the phone and looked out the window with a little tiredness.
The sky was already bright, and it was now eight o'clock the next morning.
Unexpectedly... didn't go home all night.
Until this moment, the supervisor finally understood the magic of this game.
It was like watching the World Cup every four years and watching the Super Bowl finals every year. He was willing to risk his life for it, even staying up late.
At this moment, he gradually understood why the three employees did this.
But no matter what the reason was, these three guys should get the punishment they deserved.
Not coming to work, not even asking for leave, this is what they deserved.
...
Just as the police said, because of the release of the Civilization game, many people have been out of touch with the outside world for a long time and have devoted themselves to the game.
The police were also very surprised.
Is this game so magical?
