Chapter 10, The Failure of Amway

First, select the Pioneer and build a city

At this moment, Wei Jia'an finally remembered that Vera was standing beside him. He quickly stood up and said, "Vera, please sit here"

As an outsider, Vera is essentially a blank slate, having likely never been exposed to games before, with the exception of board games and the like. Moreover, not only have netizens mentioned this, but I have also experienced it firsthand. Civilization VI is a game where you decide when to start, but when to end is not up to you, making it incredibly captivating. Indeed, Civilization VI is somewhat complex, but isn't it great to have someone by your side to help you navigate it

What happened in Xi'an, and then?

Hit him, kill him.

"No, you sit down." This time, Wei Jia'an's tone was particularly firm

Civilization VI should be considered a strategy game, primarily focused on building and developing an empire... Let's think about the various victory conditions... Technological victory, religious victory, cultural victory, domination victory, are there any others? Anyway, my favorite is domination victory. As he spoke, Wei Jia'an skillfully navigated to the game; his computer configuration was not very good, and it took a little time to load the game. He clicked Esc to skip the game CG, first selecting single-player mode. After a moment of hesitation, he ultimately chose to create a game, opting for a lower difficulty level. Pioneer or Chieftain would be better, and standard settings for game speed and map size would suffice, with a lower disaster level.

First click this one, then click this one. Wei Jia'an pointed at the computer screen, directing Vera one by one

No, I won't like it; I am reading a book

How to do it

Click again, next round

"Don't you think he looks very ugly? Moreover, he is quite incompetent." Wei Jia'an is not only somewhat utilitarian but also a person who values appearance.

Select research in the lower right corner, mining industry

"You can choose whichever leader you want to play as," said Wei Jia'an

The lower right corner remains unchanged, click to select the warrior, click to garrison, no need to move

"I don't like it, it feels meaningless. I have said this before, I will not like games." This was Vela's response.

It turned out that here, Vela finally saw it. While sliding the mouse, she glanced at Wei Jia'an with a sidelong look, saying, "So, which one should I click now?"

Wei Jia'an does not remember how many games are on his computer, including online games, single-player games, large games that occupy dozens of gigabytes of memory, as well as casual games that are only a few hundred megabytes. There are action games, real-time strategy games, and various other similar games. One wonders why he ultimately chose Civilization VI.

Clearly, there was no intention; this must be the work of fate. She maneuvered the mouse to move it over.

As the night passed, the next day Wei Jia'an went to work as usual, and the Amway game was merely a minor episode.

How to choose? Vira is a complete novice in the game

"Click on it, and then move... or let me do it." Vera was unable to perform the action, so Wei Jia'an chose to operate the mouse himself

Otherwise, let us change to another game, Wei Jia'an suggested again

"Alright." Veilado glanced at Wei Jia'an and chose to sit down. "I advise you not to have any expectations; I truly have no interest in these things."

In the end, I still chose our First Emperor. While waiting for the loading, Wei Jia'an smiled and said: "You know, haven't you been reading 'World History' these past few days? Once you play the game, and then look at 'World History' again, when you encounter familiar civilizations and leaders, it will definitely feel particularly intimate. Playing the game before reading the book has a remarkable effect. It reminds me of my childhood; I could never get through 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms.' But after I played the games 'Dynasty Warriors' and 'Three Kingdoms,' I was able to read 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' all at once, and it was effortless."

Controlling the warrior to chase the barbarian scout, the scout disappeared from the map again. The warrior was brought back, and with nothing to do, they waited for several turns until the builder was produced. Wei Jia'an finally realized that he was not the one playing today. He sat back on the tall wooden stool and said, "Vera, you take over, you do it."

How to click? Vela was completely unable to look at anything else, in a flurry of confusion

"Don't just sit there, didn't you say you wanted to try the game? Come over here." Without hesitation, Wei Jia'an called out to Vera to join him, as promoting games and anime to others was one of his favorite activities.

Sitting by the bedside reading, Vera chose "The Eagle Flag Falls" this time. After reading for a while, she closed the book and lay back on the bed. Having been away for so many days, she wondered how things were over there. Unable to return and unaware of the current state of the war, she recalled that when she was still there, the Empire had already fallen into a disadvantage against the coalition forces. Those fellows had not caught up yet, which was great.

After lying down for a while, Vera sat up. She left the bedside and went to the computer desk to pour herself a glass of water. Her gaze inadvertently fell on the computer, and she stood there hesitating for quite some time before reaching out to press the keyboard. Why not play with the computer for a bit? She had not yet mastered the computer usage methods that Wei Jia'an taught her yesterday, and since she couldn't return home in a short time, it was such a fascinating thing; she truly wanted to learn how to use it.

This room is not even one-third the size of my original room, yet it feels quite full, filled with all sorts of items, unlike my previous room which, although larger, consisted merely of a bed, a wardrobe, a dressing table, and a bookshelf, leaving it empty and desolate. Vera walked through the room and paused by the window; looking out, she could only see another building, with no expansive view. She ultimately decided to read a book.

"Let's give it a try, just a try." Everyone is somewhat familiar with each other now, but that level of familiarity is still insufficient; it is merely the level of acquaintances. Therefore, it would be better to refrain from such intimate displays while sitting on the armrest of the chair. Wei Jia'an looked around and moved a tall stool to sit down.

Well

"No, no, that is to restore the default settings." Wei Jia'an pointed at the computer screen. "Here, here."

Until now, I still do not understand those chaotic operations. I originally felt like a puppet on strings. Now, Wei Jia'an, who was sitting beside me, stood up excitedly. The reason was that after struggling for a long time, he did not know how to operate and could not keep up with the pace. Vela leaned back completely, giving up her position for Wei Jia'an to take over the operation, while she simply watched.

Well

There is nothing to do, let's proceed to the next round

Above, above

"You can sit, I will just stand for a moment." However, Wei Jia'an insisted on trying it himself, while Vera was not particularly interested in the game.

Where? Vera looked for a while but still could not find the place. The mouse pointer briefly hovered over the option to restore default settings. Is this it? Should I click this?

After listening to Wei Jia'an's words, Vela remained noncommittal and asked, "Which one should I choose, is this one acceptable?"

Then

What about this? "Vera moved the mouse.

Alright

Failure, it actually failed, I thought Civilization VI would definitely attract the other party, but where did it go wrong? Perhaps the other party simply does not like games, after all, she is a girl. In any case, the recommendation was a failure, but taking this opportunity, Wei Jia'an taught Vera again how to use a computer. How to type with both hands, how the fingers should be positioned correctly. Also, how to use a browser to search the web, it is more effective to leave a space between two words when searching, how to input commands to block Baijiahao, how to distinguish advertisements and find useful information, a certain person should die with a household registration book.

Also, how to use a browser to search the web, it is more effective to leave a space between two words when searching, how to input commands to block Baijiahao, how to distinguish advertisements and find useful information, a certain person should die with a household registration book

Vera has already learned to use the keyboard, but unfortunately, her typing skills are still at the level of one-finger and two-finger typing. Unlike Wei Jia'an, who can type without even looking at the keyboard, she can barely manage to use the mouse. She moved the mouse and asked, "What should I do now?"

The power button is located on the chassis. Vela伸出手按下, the power indicator light瞬间亮起来, followed by the computer screen's power button, and the black screen also lights up. She sits down in front of the computer desk

To get from the bed to the computer desk, one must pass through the floor laid by Wei Jia'an. Vela, wearing fuzzy slippers, walked around to stand by the computer desk, still holding a book in her hand.

"That one is ugly, the African chieftain." Wei Jia'an hesitated for a moment, "Anyway, in the case of the Pioneer difficulty, the lowest difficulty, any choice is fine. Just think about it, otherwise let's choose our First Emperor. Not only did he unify the six states, but he also standardized the script and measurements, establishing a fundamental framework for our political system that has lasted over two thousand years. It is not an exaggeration to say he is a timeless emperor; one could even say he is the greatest emperor in our history. Of course, there are no emperors now, nor do we need emperors."

Still in the lower right corner, click again, and select Builder

How to use the browser for searching, typing speed needs some practice, Wei Jia'an can type a line of text in an instant, while I can only think for a long time to type a single character. After struggling for a while, Vela chose to close the browser; she wanted to take a good look at the desktop. My Computer, Recycle Bin, Storm Player, a long list of English software whose functions are unknown, what is the desktop version of 115 for? She looked at all the software but did not click randomly, just browsing casually. At that moment, she saw a rather familiar icon.

I have already selected the difficulty level for you; you just need to choose a civilization and a leader said Wei Jia'an

Standing by the street, Vera watched as Wei Jia'an rode away on his electric bike, disappearing from view. She walked alone into a narrow alley and down a slope. She now had the access card and keys to the residential building, which she had specially obtained a few days ago from the nearby community. Upon returning to her room, she first took off her shoes and changed into slippers. In just a few days, she had already grown accustomed to life here.

"What has appeared? A barbarian scout." Vela saw a small figure with a dog appear at the edge of the map on the computer screen

The loading is so slow, after waiting for a while, it finally can begin. Vela looked at the parchment map that first appeared on the screen, with two groups of small figures in the center of the map. On the left, there were words—"Choose Research, Codex," and on the right, there were words—"Units Need Orders." Besides that, there were too many other things. She moved the mouse to explore everywhere, and beside her, Wei Jia'an spoke up.

Until 8:30, Wei Jia'an inquired about how Vera was doing in the game
