Hello, everyone in the development team. After three years, I have opened this game again and I am deeply touched to see that you are still making updates.
Among all the text-based games I have played, the background setting and plot freedom of this game can be said to be very immersive, and even can be regarded as the main selling point of the game.
As the background of the game world, I would like to share the life of an ordinary Chinese citizen here for your reference, which is also a comparison of the life of the game's protagonist.
1. Salary income: Physical labor: such as bricklaying, assembly line workers, deliverymen, $35 per day. Ordinary labor: such as convenience store clerks, mobile phone salespeople, customer service representatives, $20 per day. Technical labor: such as welders, electricians, plumbers, $50 per day.
2. Food expenses: Worker fast food: $1 to $5 per meal. Fine food: $10 to $20 per meal. Self-prepared: $0.5 to $5 per meal.
3. Rent expenses: $20 to $100 per week, depending on the size of the city.
4. Medical expenses: Daily medicines: $0.1 to $20. Trauma treatment: $5 to $800. Surgery: $5,000 on average.
5. Travel expenses: Urban public transportation: $0.2 to $1 per trip. Private car: calculated cost per kilometer $0.3. Taxi: starting fare $1 to $3, $0.2 per kilometer after three kilometers.
6. Average price of major goods: Car: $15,000. Mobile phone: $300, iPhone: $1,000, TV: $200, House: $1,000 per square meter, minimum $100, no upper limit.
7. Clothing: Summer: $30 for a set. Winter: $100 for a set.
These are only the economic levels of ordinary urban citizens.
Rural residents have costs for food and housing that are only a quarter of that, and travel costs are even lower than $1. Electric vehicles only cost $200. Of course, in terms of income, they are also less, with an annual income of $500 to $5,000.
The working hours in cities are generally 8 to 10 hours, with an hour for lunch break. Sometimes overtime work is required, but there is no overtime pay.
The cost of attending university ranges from about $10,000 to $30,000. The cost for public universities is $10,000, while for private universities it is $30,000. Public universities are better and cheaper, while private ones are worse and more expensive. This is quite counterintuitive, right? Now let's talk about the college entrance exam. Ordinary people take a nearly fair exam based on scores to determine who goes to public universities, and the rest go to private universities or cheaper vocational education schools, or even work directly. Wealthy people or officials will try to find ways to avoid this exam, such as studying abroad or winning trophies by participating in Olympic competitions. Completing university is just the beginning. Employment difficulties and the expansion of university enrollment have made education less useful than before. Enterprises place more emphasis on ability rather than education qualifications. Corruption and fraud are also common in enterprises. On the other hand, if one wants to enter the government or state-owned enterprises, they need to take exams, and the competition is intense, with the admission rate being only about 10% or even lower.
The curriculum of universities is usually outdated and disconnected from the market. The management is lax. Once students enter university, they get addicted to entertainment and waste four years of their lives without learning anything. They lack vigilance towards society and have no work experience.
According to my estimation, the unemployment rate among college students should be around 30% to 50%. The salaries in the market do not match the educational qualifications of college students. The promotion channels have become narrow, and the salary increase rate is slow. Poorly-off college students can only compete for simple jobs with those without education. Wealthy college students will choose to continue studying to improve their educational qualifications or enter the government, and will not go to work.

The management is lax, which is completely opposite to the tense atmosphere before the college entrance examination.

Rich college students will choose to continue studying to improve their education or enter the government, and will not go to work.
Overall, I think there is nothing to worry about physically for Chinese people. Even if they don't work, they will have government officials coming to help them, such as providing free funds and food and teaching them to earn money. Hunger for Chinese people is like an absurd joke. But for those with ambition, this is not a good place. In any place, the police can arrive at the scene within 30 minutes. Violent crimes are as cute as a baby tearing its swaddling cloth. Capital and enterprises are just government-raised cows. Private enterprises with a market value of several hundred billion dollars will disappear within a few months, and new enterprises will grow up under the support of the government.
As for the stereotype of invading privacy, hahaha, the government is like a huge animal. Most people are too insignificant to make the government care about what one person has done. The government has too many things to do. One's information will gradually disappear over time. The saying "身正不怕影子斜 A straight person doesn't fear shadows" means that if a person doesn't commit a crime, why should they be afraid？

开发团队你们好，时隔三年我再一次打开了这款游戏，看到你们依旧在更新非常感动。
在我游玩过的众多文字游戏中。
这款游戏的背景设定和剧情自由度可以说是非常的有代入感，甚至可以说是游戏的主要卖点.
中国人作为游戏世界的背景板，我在此分享一下中国的普通公民生活来供你们参考，也是对于游戏主角生活的一次对比。
1.工资收入：体力劳动：比如搬砖，流水线操作工，外卖员，一天35美元。普通劳动：比如便利店店员，手机销售，电话客服，一天20美元。技术劳动：比如焊工，电工，水管工，一天50美元。
2.食物花费：工人快餐：一餐1美元到5美元。美食：10美元到20美元。自己制作：一餐0.5美元到5美元。
3.房租花费：一周20美元到100美元，取决于城市规模大小。
4.医疗花费：日常药品0.1美元到20美元，外伤治疗：5美元到800美元，手术：平均5000美元
5.出行花费：城市公共交通：一次0.2美元到1美元。私人汽车：计算后成本每公里0.3美元。出租车:起步价1美元到3美元，超过三公里后每公里0.2美元。
6.平均大件商品价格:汽车：1.5万美元。手机：300美元，iPhone1000美元，电视：200美元，房屋：每平方米1000美元，最低100美元，最高无上限。
7：服饰：夏季：一套30美元。冬季：一套100美元
以上只是城市普通公民的经济水平。
农村居民在食物与住所上成本只有四分之一，出行成本更是低于1美元，电动载具只需要200美元，当然在收入上也更少，每年只有500美元到5000美元。
城市工作时间普遍在8到10个小时，中间会有一个小时午休，有时会加班，没有加班费
读大学的成本大约在1万美元到3万美元左右，公立大学的成本为1万，私立大学为3万，公立大学更好更便宜，私立更差还更贵，这很反直觉对吧？这就说到高考了，普通人参加几乎公平的考试通过分数来划定谁去上公立大学，剩下的去上私立大学或者便宜的职业教育学校，或者不去上学直接工作。有钱人或者官员会想办法让子女避开这个考试，比如出国留学或者通过参加奥林匹克竞赛赢得奖杯。大学毕业只是开始，就业困难和大学扩招让学历没有以前有用了，企业更注重能力而不是学历，企业中的贪污和腐败也屡见不鲜，另一方面如果想进入政府或者国有企业需要考试，竞争压力大，录取率大概只有10%甚至更低。
大学的课程内容通常老旧且与市场脱节，管理宽松，这与高考前的紧张氛围截然相反，学生考入大学便沉迷于娱乐，浪费4年的时光什么都没学到，对于社会缺少戒备心，工作上没有任何经验。
大学生的失业率在我的猜测下应该有30%到50%左右，市场上的工资配不上大学生的学历，晋升通道也变得狭窄，工资提升速度缓慢，家庭贫穷的大学生只能与没有文化的人竞争简单的工作，家庭富裕的大学生会选择继续考试以谋取提升学历或者进入政府，不会去工作。
总的来说，中国人在肉体上没有任何值得担忧的地方，就算不工作也会有政府官员上门帮助，比如免费提供资金和食物还有赚钱教学，饥饿对于中国人来说就像一个荒诞的笑话。但是对于有野心的人来说，这不是一个好地方，在任何地方人民警察都能在30分钟内到达现场，暴力犯罪就像婴儿撕扯襁褓一样可爱，资本和企业只是政府饲养的奶牛，市值几百亿美元的民营企业也会在几个月内消失，新的企业又会在政府的扶持下成长起来。
至于侵犯隐私这个刻板印象，哈哈，政府像一个巨大的动物，大部分人过于渺小以至于政府不会在乎一个人做了什么，政府有太多的事要做，一个人的信息都会随着时间慢慢消失，“身正不怕影子斜”这句话指的就是，人没有犯罪为什么要害怕？
