One Han City Monopoly is a classic economic board game. It's a game that almost everyone plays in One Han City, and I'm naturally also very familiar with it.
The map and landmark buildings of One Han City are simulated in this game, and all players start with the same amount of funds. Starting from the Start space, whenever it is their turn, players move a number of steps by rolling a dice. This game requires a mix of luck and trading strategies as players need to buy land and build buildings to earn rent. The game ends when one of the players becomes bankrupt.
I've been really lucky in mahjong recently, and an economic game should give me enough leeway to play steadily and win.
[player]I choose One Han City Monopoly!
[Chiori Mikami]...Hehe, what a foolish decision.
To my surprise, Chiori Mikami smiles confidently and disdainfully when she hears my choice, which gives me a bad feeling.
[player]Six... Six...
[Chiori Mikami]One... One...
Sunlight dances on the board and the game props on the table. The exquisite plastic dice makes a crisp sound while it rolls on the board, captivating my and Chiori Mikami's attention. We mumble under our breath childishly as we try to change the result psychically.
In the end, my dice twirls around and stops, revealing one red dot... I rolled a one.
[Chiori Mikami]Yay! It's a one!
[player]Sigh, okay then. I can only move one step... Huh? Wait a minute, it's a Chance space! Hahahaha!
[Chiori Mikami]...Eh? Hmph, whatever. You do seem a little lucky today.
Chiori Mikami's cheers end abruptly as I start grinning happily. I draw a Chance card joyfully and read out its contents.
[player]"You win first place in the Mahjong Soul Shrine tournament and can choose one player to grant a wish for you. If they refuse, they need to pay you 50,000 Coppers."
[Chiori Mikami]What?! How can there be such an outrageous card!
[player]Hahaha, this is the only one. It looks like luck is on my side today. Chiori, will you give me 50,000 Coppers or grant one of my wishes?
[Chiori Mikami]Urgh... Damn it...
Chiori Mikami looks at her game funds hesitantly. This is a large amount. If she chooses to give me 50,000 Coppers, her financial reserves will be mostly depleted. After struggling for a moment, she clenches her fists and gives up.
[Chiori Mikami]I'll grant a wish, but don't go too far, or I'll call Riu over right away!
[player]Hmm, let me see... Something that won't be too excessive...
In consideration of her threat to summon her maid, I decide to take Miss Chiori's friendly advice and ask her to grant an innocuous wish.
No way! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I can't stop all the ideas that are popping up in my head... Which one should I choose?
