Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Guided by its manager, you walk through the town of Sacao, which is lined with stalls.

Due to its location in the middle of the desert, travellers will also notice the player who wears loose white clothes and a turban.

"Does that mean something like a turban?"

You know what? I think it's fashion.

At first glance, it seems to have the effect of slightly blocking the sunshine, but in the first place, there is no problem even naked in the city. No, there might be another problem.

Anyway, the people who see it in the town seem to adapt to the city called Sacao in a sense. In other words, the majority of players are usually based in [Sakao], which means that few players come from outside for sightseeing and business.

"Still lively on the weekends, isn't it?"

Of course. When the BBB is open, there are many times more people. That said, most of them are regulars, and their new faces have become unusual. "

On the weekends in Sakao, a buggy called a BBB opens a race around the desert.

The winner has a luxury prize and the audience can take part in and enjoy Sakao's biggest bet, which is now a classic event.

Why don't you try building a permanent BBB?

It's impossible to use a boulder. The environmental impact of the course is too high, and it is likely to become superfluous. "

"Is that so..."

The extraordinary feeling of once a week is one of the factors that boosts BBB. Until you throw it away, there will be no return.

Does Sacao differentiate itself from other cities besides BBB?

T-1, who was listening as he walked behind, threw a question.

We're putting a lot of effort into the market and the auction house. There are four big markets, and many smaller ones. The boulevard is wider than other cities, and stalls can be displayed on both sides. "

In Sacao, the everyday stalls that blend into the townscape are actually sights that you won't see in other cities.

In cities such as Wade and Wadatsumi, a dedicated area called a market is set up in the commercial area and the central control area, and players cannot open stores in other places.

In addition, there is the largest auction house in Sakao, where huge daily bits are exchanged for rare items.

After that, [trading] skills are more potent than others. The researchers can sell it more expensively by NPC, and they can buy it cheaply. "

"I see? There are a lot of pedestrians who use it."

Sacao seems to focus on commercial measures, just as it describes the mainstay of the trade.

I made a lot of money when I was a pedestrian.

"That said, it would be a preferential measure to the extent that the economic system does not break down. The majority of people earn more efficiently and hassle-free than they earn such chicks."

Well, that's right. If you hunt and sell the native creatures around the town, you'll make a lot of money.

Skills only directly affect the economic system of the FPO, and it is difficult to adjust the balance.

No matter how much Sacao wants to give, it will only be a bonus for stopping in town for something else, and it shouldn't be realistic to use it as a source of income.

Sacao really wants to develop this town in commerce?

Kamil leans over.

If you can't be a commercial center, you have to boldly change your policy as a city.

However, Sakao nods strongly.

Neither the Cliffs of the Song Dragon nor the Wilderness of the Poisonous Bugs have any resources. Protozoa are adapted to the harsh environment around here, making it difficult to take them to other fields, and the demand for pets is low. "

Located in the southern part of the Onokoro Highlands, it's a hot, dry place.

The mineral resources beat the [Amazumara], and the protozoa that become pets are said to be more popular in the vicinity of [Kiyo] and [Wade].

That said, Sakao is sorry, but honestly speaking, the "trading bullet" is a subtle thing to look at as a player.

You can carry a large amount of items stuck in your inventory, which can be expanded by using the Beast Machine. Furthermore, the development of high-speed transportation networks such as Yata Glass and Ikarga has eliminated the need to deliberately buy and sell at specific locations.

After all, I think I'm stuck....... I may not be suitable for the manager. "

Sakao's expression darkens as he sees us silent.

I'm sure she keeps thinking about the end of this town as a caretaker. That's why there's so much despair.

A second pioneering area has been discovered, and it's a popular game for FPOs to climb. The western line of Wade, Wadatsumi, and Mizuhanome is vibrant, and Amatsumara and Homsubi continue to develop to be inflamed by it. Kiyo also maintains a certain popularity as the forefront of three arts skills, and due to its unique Japanese-style townscape.

Only [Sakao] was left behind by the waves of development that fell outside of those main streams.

"It's okay."

Grasping the hem of the one-piece dress, Sakao hangs a bright voice.

She turned her sceptical gaze here, but managed to come up with an idea.

"After all, if you want to develop the town, you have to gather people." If you want to bring people together, it's best to appeal directly to people's desires. "

... I mean, what do you mean?

When I tell my thoughts, it's my bad habit to say things around the corner.

While doing such self-reflection, he mouths an idea that flashed.

"Let's make a casino."

Speak clearly to the small supervisor.

She rolls her eyes and mutters her words, but I nod deeply. It is not a mistake to ask.

“It's a massive public gambling venue with a town name. Gambling is the most profitable thing in the torso. If you narrow it down while making it feel good, people will gather and the town will develop."

You're a terrible person, aren't you?

Kamil is frowning, but Sakao knows very well that gambling is profitable.

While small-scale public betting is conducted, like BBB, some are held by players on their own initiative, such as the cannibal tournament in which Letty participated at Mizuhanome.

The pioneers like to bet.

Well, gambling doesn't contribute to the expansion protocol, does it?

Sacao reveals why the casino hasn't existed before.

The Planetary Izanami Reclaimers, including us, are aiming to proceed with a space expansion protocol.

In the case of leisure-time gambling, gambling as vast as having a dedicated facility may rather stall the progression of the territorial expansion protocol.

“Don't worry, the money hunter will work to make money, but he will facilitate the expansion protocol.”

I see...?

After hearing my explanation, the Sacraments turn to suspicion.

We, the Explorers, the Administrators, the Commanders, and Kamil, the NPCs, are all artificial intelligence, but each is operating in a completely different logic. Therefore, it seems that even if you exchange words in this way, you may never understand each other.

Perhaps gambling is one of them.

"Unlike real-world gambling, life isn't ruined. I think there are a lot of people who want it."

The idea of a casino was reminiscent of his gambling sanctuary from Sacao. His land must have been in the middle of a wide desert.

"I see... Why don't you start with a simple slot?" So if it's good enough to eat, you can increase it. "

Also, it's a better idea than reality, but if you line up old-fashioned arcade games, you'll be able to draw in an age like mine.

The difficulty is adjusted to make money efficiently.

"But the problem is, it's going to be insecure."

Gambling and gaming, for better or worse, get deeper into people.

There will be more people who are too enthusiastic and forget about me, and then there will be more trouble.

Would you like to increase the patrol of the security NPC and build more artificial intelligence correction rooms...?

Oh, it looks like Sakao's got a crush on him, too.

Sakao starts to think about measures with a serious face.

If this town is going to be a hub of entertainment, I'm looking forward to it.

Is Ledge familiar with gambling? I want you to tell me a lot. "

"No, I'm not familiar with it at all." I may be able to give you a certain overview..... "

Still, we know very little of what to say.

Sakao squeezes my hand.

Looks like she'll seriously consider my proposal.

Then we will have to respond as well.

I don't know what it's like to walk around, so let's talk about it in the right place.

Having said that, we walked out of town looking for a place to settle down.
