This Game is Too Real

North gate.

Under the spacious shed, there is a long table and two braziers beside the table. The charcoal fire inside is very hot.

Chu Guang, wearing blue power armor, stood in the shed, looking at the little players who were busy at the market, with an old father's smile on his face.

good.

Draw a piece of cake and let the players cook it by themselves. Sure enough, this is the work that the plan should do.

Originally Chu Guang thought that holding this celebration would consume a lot of inventory, but now it seems that his worries are completely redundant.

Those little players obviously read his activity copy several times, and even from the perspective of the game background, they also unearthed what he wanted to express but was not embarrassed to write in the copy.

Wasteland gourmet.

Naturally, you have to use some "original" food on the wasteland.

How embarrassed to say that the dishes you cook are "the purest wasteland"?

The crispy stove cricket meat, the deep-fried mutant cockroach legs, the leeches spitting in the pan, and the light-sucking blood-sucking worm steaks are all made up!

Of course, Chu Guang couldn't eat it himself.

He doesn't have N lives.

It is better to eat something healthy and hygienic.

There are three awards in the competition.

One is the delicacy in the minds of the wastelanders, the other is the delicacy in the minds of the players, and the other is the approval from the manager.

The selection criteria for the three awards are different, and the judges are also different, but the awards are mostly the same.

That is, huge activity points!

Limited title!

And enter the Hall of Fame and shine on the forum!

As with the previous events, points can be earned by completing tasks in the event, which can be used to redeem event-limited rewards, and the New Year’s red envelope is actually a lottery with a different name.

The prizes include, but are not limited to, the first prize of 666 silver coins, as well as the special prize of a carbon nano bulletproof vest worth 6,666 silver coins.

This item has never been put on the NPC store before, and the price is randomly specified by Chu Guang, anyway, no one will refute it even if you add a zero estimate.

In addition to the lottery, what is most interesting to players is of course the limited title and the chance to enter the Hall of Fame.

And according to the manager himself, if he gets the title of "wasteland gourmet", the dishes he designed will be included in the menu of this year's New Year's party.

For life professional players, this temptation can be too great.

In order to compete for this title, all condiments except salt in the warehouse were almost sold out.

As a result, Chu Guang had to temporarily adjust the activity strategy, temporarily removing the spices from the warehouse shelves, and changed it to complete the task to receive.

Thanks to this, the progress of completing the daily tasks in the past few days is quite gratifying, and his manager has often received reward points from the system.

In order to meet the cooking needs of the players, Chu Guang has spent almost all of his points on the primary blind boxes these days, and for this reason he has also obtained a lot of seeds for high-yield crops.

This is also considered a windfall.

Looking at the wooden sign on the table, Xia Yan looked at Chu Guang in confusion and asked.

"What are the judges?"

She had never heard such a strange word.

Chu Guang thought about it and explained.

"To put it simply, you walk around the north gate and take a copy of the food that looks good. If it is delicious, just like it."

Of course, you have to taste it before you eat it.

As a sensory player, her talent is toxin intuition, and she can see what she can't eat at a glance.

In addition, her physical attributes are not high, and she can basically eat anything that is okay.

Yaya, who is a "tester", is so happy.

Chu Guang still remembered how the little player patted his chest to assure himself that he would do his best to maintain the order of the celebration, and asked himself to give her this "glorious and arduous" task.

"Oh, that's how it is." Xia Yan nodded awkwardly.

To sum it up, just take whatever you like when you see it?

No need to spend money on eating and drinking for free?

This is too cool! ?

The little fish sitting behind the long table had a slightly awkward expression.

Taking a peek at Brother Chu, she said in a small voice.

"But...is it really okay if you don't give money?"

To be honest, this question is a bit redundant.

What money do the judges give for food?

It’s generous enough without the entry fee!

Not to mention that there are points rewards for participating, even the most consolation prize is definitely enough to pay for that little meal.

Chu Guang originally planned to say that, but seeing Xiaoyu's expression of sadness, he changed his words again.

Dogs plan to be alone.

Can't teach the children badly.

"This is part of the celebration, and the expenses of the event will be borne by the shelter... You can understand that the money has actually been paid."

Speaking of here, there was a pause.

Looking at the ignorant little fish, Chu Guang smiled gently and continued.

"Remember to say thank you to them before tasting."

"They will be happy all day."

Boss Xia, who was standing aside with his arms folded, also nodded as if he didn't understand.

understood.

It turned out not to eat for nothing.

It is the public and the money to eat and drink.

...

The food contest to welcome the New Year is in full swing. In order to get the limited title, whether it is a professional player in life or a professional player in combat, they have tried their best.

The activity continued until the last day of December.

This day is a rare sunny day.

The roaring north wind and blizzard are at the end of the force, and the harsh winter seems to have come to an end.

Everything is foreshadowing, the dawn is coming, and the victory is in sight!

In order to welcome the upcoming 212th year of the Wasteland Era, the outpost is full of lights and festoons.

Many houses are pasted with red paper, and red cloth strips and ribbons are hung on the doorways.

In order to make the festival atmosphere stronger, Chu Guang also specially issued a task to make more than forty lanterns in the woodworking hut, which were hung from the square in front of the sanatorium to the market at the north gate.

At dusk.

More than forty lanterns are lit.

The dim light, set off against the burning torches, made the entire outpost lively and at the same time added a bit of festive color.

Chu Guang discovered that his little players are simply geniuses.

In just one week, in the absence of supplies, his little players surprisingly unlocked hundreds of recipes.

There are some very creative brains, even he can't help but be surprised when he sees it.

Such as Fuji Fuji.

It is said that she gained experience from nomads. With the help of sisters Qiucao and Qiuye, she used the pupae of the devil moth to extract shellac and made something similar to "soil bamboo shoots jelly".

That thing was crystal clear, white, and soft, and it tasted like jelly. If you didn't deliberately mention it, no one would think of the devil moth.

Without any suspense, the delicacy won the award of "the most popular wasteland delicacy among players".

After all, compared to Lao Na's salt-and-pepper charcoal grilled mantis legs and some "realistic delicacies" that have nothing to do with wasteland at all, this dish cleverly finds a balance between the two.

And the taste and texture are pretty good, belonging to the "order-neutral" kind.

The only pity is that there is no chili sauce, otherwise it will be more delicious.

However, not everyone is satisfied with this result.

Especially for those who "nearly won the game"...

"Gan! Why isn't the wasteland gourmet not me! Obviously so delicious!"

"that is!"

"unacceptable!"

The awards session ended as early as noon, and now it's celebration time.

The unwilling gorge was on the run. The Mole, the elf king, Fortune and Lao Na, roasted all the unfinished mantis legs, trying to prove themselves with the taste.

However, helplessly, the three people's stalls were sparsely populated, and no one patronized them at all.

Even if it was confirmed that it was not poisonous, Yaya still shook his head into a rattle.

"Sorry, physical discomfort, I really can't accept this kind of food!"

The kind-hearted Ms. Fujito took a closer look, thinking about buying something to comfort them, but when she was about to pay, she couldn't help but whispered.

"Speaking of which...Is there really no iron worm?"

Hearing these words, Brother Mole suddenly felt that his wound had been sprinkled with salt, and said with a grieving expression on his face.

"How can there be so many iron worms! Not all praying mantises have iron worms!"

Elf King Fugui: "Yes! It's all exploded like this! And isn't it poisonless?"

Irene: "Gan! Do you know how hard it is to find these things in the winter!"

"Sorry, sorry, I, I, I will not ask..." Fujito hurriedly took out the VM. Although she didn't know why she had to apologize, she paid for it first.

Can't stand aside anymore, Ye Shi walked over, patted Irena on the shoulder, and sighed.

"Forget it, Lao Na, let's give up and stop struggling."

Irene said angrily: "Nil Zoukai! I won't be offline if it's sold out!"

Ye Shi let go in silence.

Good guys.

It turns out that I was ready to go all night...

...

The food award most recognized by players was won by Fujito.

The delicacy recognized by many NPCs, including Boss Xia, Xiaoyu, Yin Fang, Heya, guards, and warehouse keeper, is the "mushroom cloud cake" made by Yaya.

As a taster, she also participated in this game.

The egg whites were beaten with the eggs bought from the Frostspear clan and mixed with white sugar. Yaya cleverly used the egg whites in a round-mouthed piping bag to make small mushroom caps, sprinkled with chocolate chips around them.

The whole cake looks like a mushroom cloud, and the chocolate chips surrounding it form a nuclear bomb crater. If you insist, it can barely be regarded as wasteland-style food.

But to be honest, in Chu Guang's eyes, this was completely an act of trickery.

Chocolate, sugar and eggs are all bought, and they are far from cheap.

Although Chu Guang has repeatedly emphasized that what he needs is cheap and delicious food, but the NPCs are all conquered by the taste of chocolate, and they are completely disinterested in wasteland-style food.

Looking at the little fish with shining eyes, Chu Guang really couldn't bear to vote veto, so he didn't say anything.

Fortunately, he also expected deviations in the results of the voting, so he set up a third award, "The Most Recognized Gourmet by Management".

This award was handed out by him himself.

The delicacy that won the award is the "Cracked Claw Crab Cake" of the Niu Ma Squad.

400g of cleft claw crab meat is added with 450 g of green wheat flour, mixed with 10 g of salt, a little buffalo grass powder and white berries to squeeze the juice, and a full kilogram of cleft claw crab meat can be obtained.

The meatloaf kneaded with this kind of minced meat does not have the sour taste of green wheat, but also retains the flavor of crab meat. The deliciousness is beyond doubt.

With a large quantity and easy storage, Chu Guang awarded the award to its inventor without a second word.

Because it is a group work, except for the name of the chef's tomato scrambled eggs, which will be displayed on the first-level page of the Hall of Fame, the list of other collaborators will be included in the second-level sub-page.

The collaborators have no opinion, after all, their names are already in the Hall of Fame.

Giving up this rare opportunity to Brother scrambled eggs was originally a decision they made after their own discussion.

Standing at the north gate of the base.

Wearing power armor, Chu Guang announced the final result of the game in a loud voice, and then raised his wine glass to the crowd in the celebration.

"Enjoy the last day of the new year!"

"Let's toast to the harvest of the coming year!"

There are many things I wanted to say.

But looking at the little players with excitement on their faces, Chu Guang suddenly felt that the long talk seemed a little redundant at this time.

Give them the time.

Just be a handsome and handsome NPC in peace.

As the voice fell, the bazaar at the north gate burst into cheers instantly, and the wooden wine glasses were raised high.

"Oh oh oh!"

"The planner is awesome!"

"Uuuuu, this year's New Year's Day, finally, there is no need to eat takeaway alone!"

"Brothers who don't exist, have to eat as if they took off their helmets."

"Well, don't talk about it, let's talk about tears falling."

There are about 500 players who choose to spend the festival in the game, and basically all of them are here.

As for the other 300 players, they are either in reality or with their families. It is estimated that they will come back after noon tomorrow.

In addition to the players, the faces of the NPCs who came to the celebration were also full of joy and joy.

It turns out that the celebration is such a happy thing.

It turns out that festivals are such a thing!

Life seems to have new hope, even if they are not aware of it, cultural identity is gradually taking shape in their hearts.

Chu Guang took out the last few barrels of red wine in the inventory and gave everyone a small glass.

Although they were all divided, Chu Guang didn't feel distressed.

For one thing, he has decided to drink less in his life, if he can drink it or not.

He also grabbed this wine from the cellar of the old leech anyway, and it didn't matter if it was finished.

There will be new ones next year.

"Cheers! Hiccups"

Boss Xia excitedly held up his wine glass, suffocated with a sip, and ran over with a shaky blush and asked Chu Guang if he still had it, which perfectly explained what it means to eat and drink.

The little fish sitting next to the brazier sipped milk, and looked at Xia Yan with some worry, worrying that she would faint after drinking herself like the last time.

Yin Fang stared at the wine glass for a while, sniffed it, frowned and drank it, then whispered back to the refuge, and continued busy with his research.

When it was Heya, after drinking one sip, her expression did not change at all, standing there watching the lively players and wastelanders with interest.

For her who grew up in the shelter, everything here is so fascinating.

Whether it is DNA or culture.

After giving his cup to Boss Xia, Chu Guang glanced at the empty cup in her hand with a slightly surprised expression.

"Unexpectedly, you can drink unexpectedly."

Heya didn't feel anything incomprehensible, so she said it for granted.

"After all, my liver, stomach and... are all bionic organs, which can be absorbed selectively or not at all."

Chu Guang: "..."

All right.

That's a waste.

It was not just the outpost that celebrated the New Year. After announcing the start of the celebration, Chu Guang issued a task through the VM and selected a few small players to go to the temporary shelter located in the abandoned department store and sent a copy to the refugees there. New Year's greetings.

Not much.

About 300 kilograms of crab cakes.

Although each person can only get a small 200g crab cake, it is also the meat of a claw crab anyway.

I believe this New Year’s gift from Vault 404 should give them a touch of warmth.

...

"Damn it, why can't bear paw stew in catfish soup!"

The celebration has entered the second half, guarding a pot of black fish soup that is about to cool down, his tail squatted on the ground deeply, and his branches drew circles on the snow.

Sisi comforted her and said.

"I don't think there is a problem with the dish itself, maybe there is something wrong with the preparation... Then why is the soup stewed black? I remember it was not white before?"

"Please don't care about these details."

"No... I think it's better to figure it out."

Irena, who pretends that everything is sold out, just ate up the roasted mantis legs while no one was paying attention.

Seeing the dark food stuffed with bear paws and fish heads in the pot, he couldn't help but joked with glee.

"Are you guys stewing the meat?"

The tail glanced at him dissatisfied.

"How is it possible! Flesh can speak!"

And that's her mount!

It was hard to tame.

Sisi, who was by his tail, sighed and said helplessly.

"It's not a fleshy hand, but it has something to do with fleshy flesh. In short, the tail uses fleshy flesh as bait to draw the hibernating brown bear out of the cave. Emmm... the situation was a bit messy at the time, I I won't describe it."

Irena scratched the back of her head: "Uh, although I am curious about the details~www.wuxiamtl.com~, shouldn't I ask more?"

The players around who heard it cast sympathetic glances at Rourou, only the expression of crying on Rourou's face.

"Wait a minute, you can make it clear, everyone has obviously misunderstood!"

Ignoring the noise of the teammates, the tail is still muttering there.

"Damn it, it tastes okay!"

Sisi patted her on the shoulder.

"Alright, alright, don't be sad...Ah, it seems to be a mission, and it seems to be a hidden mission. Will Awei come together?"

Hearing that it was a hidden mission, the tail immediately stood up and said with bright eyes.

"want!"

Sisi's face showed an old father's smile.

The child is too coaxing.
