Lu Xiao once planned to buy the castle of Monteriggioni, but with Altheya's repeated efforts, the Italian government never nodded in agreement.

Monteriggioni wasn't originally a well-known attraction in Italy, but thanks to the early years of Ubisoft Potato's Assassin's Creed 2, this unremarkable ancient castle gradually became known.

For this reason, the Italian government rejected Lu Xiao's acquisition on the grounds that Monteriggioni was an important national historical heritage, and Lu Xiao had no choice but to give up.

Because of the impact of the epidemic, when Lu Xiao and Yongzhen came to the outside of Monteriggioni Castle, there were basically no people here.

The medieval castle is inhabited by fewer than 50 households, most of whom work in the tourism industry, and the only way to make money is to squeeze oil and water from tourists who have a lot of money.

The impact of the epidemic on the tourism industry of countries around the world is very serious, and when Lu Xiao and Yongzhen walked into the castle through the city gate, the owners of the shops in the city looked listless.

Counting Lu Xiao and Yongzhen, the number of tourists in the entire small city is only about 30 at most.

To be sure, this little medieval castle wouldn't be very attractive without a potato farm.

With no special products and no attractive landscapes, if you tear down the crumbling walls on the outside, it's just a country town everywhere.

Lu Xiao had been here once when she had traveled to Italy before, when the epidemic had not yet completely broken out, the number of tourists in Monteriggioni was not bad, and there were really many players from various countries who came to visit this holy place.

However, like Lu Xiao, most of the tourists who travel here come with hope and return disappointed.

Obviously, Ubisoft helps solicit customers, but the Italian Ministry of Tourism of the head iron can't even copy homework.

There is no Auditore Manor in Monteriggioni, and there are many differences between the structure of the city and the game.

If Lu Xiao is in charge of this project, he will definitely invest in restoring Monteriggioni City to the scenery in the game as much as possible, so as to attract more tourists to spend here.

Japan is very skilled in this set of techniques, and China has gradually begun to build IP and holy land tours to stimulate tourism, Italy...... It can only be said that even money will not be earned.

Lu Xiao called into the smartphone: "Aletheia." ”

"I'm here, what's the matter?"

"Take advantage of the impact of this epidemic, you can talk to the Italian tourism department again."

"Even if we can't convince them to sell the castle, at least let them give them the authority to develop and renovate Monteriggioni."

"Well......" Aletheia thought for a moment, "Italy is in a difficult time right now, as long as enough money is given, it should be feasible." ”

"I'll try, you stay in Monteriggioni for the first time, maybe there will be local officials coming to you in the near future to discuss specific developments."

……

In the Overworld, Alethea is like an omnipotent goblin who lives on the internet.

She can be distracted and multitasking, while allowing her ontology to work on projects in the laboratory, and at the same time become a million, liaising with multiple departments in Italy at the same time in different capacities.

Lu Xiao and Yongzhen casually found an inn in the town, endured the poor living conditions, and finally waited for the contact of the local officials in Monteriggioni on the third day.

Because of the huge impact of the epidemic on the tourism industry, the Italian tourism department, which was still very tough before, has softened its attitude this time.

Although they were still reluctant to sell the ownership of Monteriggioni Castle, with the communication of Aletheia, the officials finally agreed to authorize Lu Xiao's "Assasin Order" company to invest in the renovation of this ordinary small city.

The company's trademark and registered name were bought by Alethea at a cost to a cybersquatting studio.

In Alethea's words, none of the problems that can be solved with money are problems.

Now the company is still only an empty shell, but the abundant registered capital on the books alone is enough to smash the Italian officials into a stun.

In capitalist countries, rich people are the masters.

The officials of Monteriggioni had very little authority, just the rank of village officials.

This gray-haired old man had a very low posture when he met Lu Xiao, and he had no right to make any decisions, just to keep the big financier who was preparing to develop and renovate the castle as much as possible, and wait for the high-ranking officials who could really make decisions to come over.

If it was Lu Xiao, a former white-collar worker, he would definitely be unconsciously timid when facing officials from other countries.

has experienced many worlds, and Lu Xiao's vision has long been different.

As Alethea said, if he had that idea, he could have replaced the king with a puppet who acted on orders, and brought the whole world under his control.

However, Lu Xiao didn't want to make a big deal in the main world, this was a haven for physical and mental recuperation, and Lu Xiao didn't want to spend time dealing with a lot of troubles in reality every time he came back from the mission world.

Through formal channels and abundant capital, Lu Xiao finally successfully obtained the official renovation authorization of Monteriggioni Castle from the Italian Ministry of Tourism.

After the completion of the transformation, the issue of revenue sharing will be slowly debated by Alethea and the Italian government, and Lu Xiao will not bother.

It was impossible to complete the renovation planned by Lu Xiao in just ten days, and he was only responsible for providing the plan, and Alethea recruited employees to fill the company's establishment and coordinate the renovation of Monteriggioni Castle.

Ubisoft had already drawn the drawings, and all Lu Xiao needed to do was to reproduce them according to the gourd drawings.

"The most important thing in Monteriggioni is the Auditore estate, so let's concentrate all our resources on restoring this estate."

……

After a disappointing trip to Monteriggioni, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen return to their manor in the small town of Bolgari.

Aletya's talents screened and recruited by big data will support the "Assasin Order" investment company, and the selection of the corresponding engineering company is also on the agenda, without Lu Xiao following up at any time.

Under Lu Xiao's instructions, Aletheya placed advertisements on various social platforms on the Internet in advance.

The original Manor Auditore da Auditore and Castle de Monteriggioni are in the process of being renovated, and the news has attracted the attention of many Assassin's Creed players as soon as it was released.

After returning from the world of Traces of Heaven, with the help of the system, Alethea and Consus signed a soul contract with Lu Xiao successively, ensuring that the two would not betray Lu Xiao under any circumstances.

The system unlocked the intelligence blockade of Alethea and Consus at the same time as the soul contract was signed.

"Alethea, Consus, what do you think?"

Lu Xiao sat in front of the window by the sea with a glass of red wine, looking at the beautiful scenery of the blue sea and blue sky, and asked Alethea and Consus, who showed the electronic doppelgangers on the tablet, "Do you feel that the three views have been greatly impacted?" ”

Consus, who has been studying the theory of world travel, seems to have been aware of it for a long time, and he said with a hearty smile: "No, even if we are just virtual paper people in the eyes of people in this world, our world is undoubtedly real. ”

Alethea also said disapprerovingly: "I've experienced more bizarre world shuttles, and this little problem is nothing." ”

Lu Xiao nodded approvingly: "That's right, maybe it's just that Ubisoft's main creators inadvertently received relevant information and restored the impression in his mind in a game." ”

"Maybe it's called the interference of parallel worlds."
