This Game is Too Real

Later, the group went to the weapon shop and finally saw the exoskeleton they were thinking of.

However……

Ye Shi "KV-1 sells for 600 chips?! Damn it, it's so expensive!"

Kuangfeng: "How much is the set before Lao Bai?"

Lao Bai thought for a while and wanted to answer.

"Five hundred silver coins, steel plates should account for half of the price. If only KV-1 is counted, it is about two or three hundred?"

Although it is the price of a few versions ago, and it was obtained by auction.

Thinking of the starting price of the two hundred silver coins, everyone felt a sigh of emotion.

Or the manager is kind.

Compared to the boss Xia of the weapon shop, he is so kind!

...

You can't afford such an expensive thing, and you can only look at it.

Of course, everyone did not forget the purpose of their trip.

After some negotiations, the administrator entrusted them with the LD-47 sickle assault rifle, which was finally sold at a price of 70 chips.

This is the price after their hard work.

The owner of the gun shop on the new map, Boss Bisha has too much temper, and he is not interested in their weapons at all.

And it's not just one family.

Although the bullet in Boulder City is 7mm, the length is completely different, and the structure of the flasher is also different, even if the caliber is the same, it is not universal.

The price of the drone assault rifle in Boulder is 150.

It was a wrong choice to come here to sell weapons. Both in terms of cost and technology, the Boulder City military industry was much better than them, who had only developed it for one winter.

Unless they find another way and work elsewhere.

Looking at the store shelves, Ye Shi murmured.

"Damn, this even sells mortars?"

And the price is not expensive.

Just the style that is a little longer than the rifle, 60 caliber, within three kilometers of range, and only needs the price of a set of KV-1?

Old Bai glanced around the shelves.

"There are no shells here."

Fang Chang: "There are shells, but they should be delivered outside the city. I remember how many grams or more explosives are prohibited... Let's go, none of them are affordable."

Lao Bai sighed.

"It's too hard, it's too hard."

I wonder if the bricks can be sold for money here?

Their Niu Ma Brick Factory has this special product.

Ye Shi smiled.

"Should we go to the factory to screw the screws?"

Lao Bai is a power system!

Screwing must be fierce!

Fang Chang rolled his eyes and didn't bother to care about him.

"With a daily salary of 2 to 3 chips, one month is not enough for you to buy a gun. I advise you to save it."

A sickle can be sold for 70 chips. It’s not bad, anyway, the cost of raw materials is less than 15 silver coins. No matter how high other costs are, they should not exceed this number.

In any case, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat.

Although the money has nothing to do with them, the chips sold are quest items, but the final reward will be settled with silver coins and contribution points based on how many chips they have sold.

Can you black out yourself?

sure.

As we all know, the ways to make a fortune are written in the criminal law, and there are always people cleverly thinking that others are fools.

However, they are not.

The big bird vodka with tomato scrambled eggs was sold to the drunkard at the entrance of the tavern for 10 chips.

All four felt a loss, after all, the bottle of wine weighed a pound.

To make so much wine, it would cost three catties of potatoes, or at least three silver coins, or five when it was expensive.

It is equivalent to not making money!

Ye Shi, who was holding the chips, wanted to go into the bar and take a look. There seemed to be someone wearing very little clothes, but Fang Chang was pulled by Fang Chang before his front foot crossed the door.

The wind said from the side.

"Don't miss the business."

Ye Shi: "Gan! Are you not curious? Let me see!"

The first thing the new map opens up wasteland, shouldn't you come to such a place to investigate?

How dare you say that you understand the local customs here!

As we all know, whether it is an online game or a stand-alone game, the tavern is an intelligence distribution center in RPG games.

This is common sense!

Fang Chang coughed dryly: "I've been here some time ago...The minimum ticket for a pub where there is dancing requires 2 chips, which is equivalent to buying a glass of wine when you enter the door."

Ye Shi: "Damn! You guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes has been there before! Why don't you write in the strategy?"

Fang Chang's eyes floated towards him again.

"I can never write everything."

Lao Bai patted Ye Shi on the shoulder, and said with comfort.

"Let's talk about it when you make money, I'm afraid that these few chips in your pocket will not be enough for you to drink two glasses."

This is true.

The night was settled down.

Boss Crow's mushrooms were finally collected by the grocery store.

Except for the few blue mushrooms she stole from the leech den, the other mushrooms that looked delicious at first glance did not sell much.

Looking at the bag of chips in their hands, the four little players looked worried.

"Not enough."

After deducting the 70-point bargaining chip, I earned 540 bargaining chips today, most of which were contributed by Boss Crow.

What they can freely control is 270 chips.

But having said that, those blue umbrella mushrooms are really valuable, and they are actually sold by the gram! And 4 grams can be exchanged for one bargaining chip!

It's just a pity that this stuff is too rare.

The crow boss had already burnt it out before winter came, but there seemed to be some left in the NPC's warehouse.

Now the leech nests are also used as bait for the anglers. The blue fimbriae on the wall will not be able to restore the former luxuriant appearance in a short time.

...

That night.

The four of them slept on the floor on the second floor of the office. After they went offline, they all went to the forum.

Under the sight of countless players and cloud players looking forward to, Fang Chang updated all of today's experience in the post.

Artworks including Fuji Fuji are on consignment.

Including Boss Crow’s mushrooms, he sold huge sums of money.

They also wrote clearly and plainly how much everyone's things were sold for.

Hacking other people's equipment and game currency is such a disgusting thing, but players with a little quality are disdainful of it, and everyone believes in them.

Only Professor Yang, the King of Thunder, speculated for a long time there, saying that it was impossible to sell only such a little bit. I was afraid that there was something strange in it, but he was ignored at all.

The attention of all players was attracted by the rich freedom and exploreable content of the new map.

What is a virtual world!

Is this okay?

The Northern Suburbs is completely wilderness survival!

Even across the screen, Fang Chang could feel it, and many people's eyes gleamed with envy.

Tail: "Can I open a mercenary guild! (?ω?)!"

Fang Chang: "Uh, this is an unimagined road, you can try it."

WC really has mosquitoes: "Wait! Where's my grenade? No one bought it!? (?Д?#

Ye Shi: "Your charge exceeded the standard. Whoever had a grenade set up half a catty of explosives was detained at the door!"

WC really has mosquitoes: "Gan! Lao Tzu's anti-crack claw mine!"

Old Bai: "...I think anti-tank may be enough."

The canyon is at large. Mole: "Where's the exoskeleton? Did you see the exoskeleton? Damn, Honghe Town is too poor here!"

Fang Chang: "It's written in the post, please read it carefully."

Boulder City has exoskeletons.

And not only the basic KV-1, but also the 2, 3 series, and even the improved a-type b-type, the price ranges from one thousand to tens of thousands of chips.

This thing is like a small car in the real world, with different styles, different options, and different prices.

The cheapest basic model is equivalent to selling a power supply and a small motor. The expensive high-end version is not only equipped with armor linings, but also equipped with a helmet with night vision thermal imaging. Even if the same solid-state hydrogen technology is used, batteries made of different materials and technologies have world-wide differences in safety and endurance.

However, the expensive ones are not on the shelves and usually require special customization.

After all, most people can't spend so much money. In most cases, the choice of mercenaries is the KV-1, which is slightly more expensive than the rifle.

What Chu Guang did not expect was that the KV-1 exoskeleton was so cheap on the shelves of Boulder City, as long as 600 points of chips?

The actual production cost might be only half of this figure.

Looking at the posts made by the little players on the forum, Chu Guang couldn't help but recall the distant past, someone took two kilograms of blue mushrooms from his hand with only 200 chips, and sold them to him again for 800. Point the KV-1 exoskeleton with a set of chips.

That's hard-earned money earned by Yaya!

Excuse me!

But thinking of the equipment that Liszt had spent hundreds of thousands of chips on from Boulder City, Chu Guang didn't bother to care about these hundreds of dollars.

If you don't sell it to him, you can only sell it to the old leech.

In most cases, what he can do is not to choose the best of two seemingly good choices, but to choose the less bad of two very bad choices.

Anyway, he had fulfilled his promise and slaughtered this guy once.

No, saying that Zai is too vulgar.

It should be said that a win-win situation!

...

Just when Fang Chang was busy replying to posts, Shuyu finally finished everything, and the office in Boulder City where Refuge No. 404 was finally listed successfully.

It covers a total area of ​​120 square meters, no public share does not count the entrance, a total of three floors, and a monthly rent of 800 chips. The first floor serves as a lobby, and the second and third floors serve as hotels where players can rest.

In the future, depending on the situation, Chu Guang will consider whether to make a save point here, and arrange for a few dormant pods to be stored in the past, so that players can save here.

There is a power grid in the area near the industrial zone in Boulder City. One chip can buy 10 kilowatt-hours of electricity. Some people buy firewood generators to generate electricity by themselves, or tie solar panels on the roof.

There are also mixed use of the two.

However, buying a generator is often three or four digits, which is not suitable at this stage.

With only 10,000 chips, Shuyu dared not waste it. After paying three months' rent and one month's deposit, half of the remaining 6,800 chips would be spent on decoration and furniture purchase.

This is the request of the manager.

Even if the budget is tight, you must follow the pictures he provided to decorate this place with "the taste of an adventurer's guild."

Shouldn't it be the Chamber of Commerce?

Shuyu was a little confused, but he didn't take it too seriously. It was just a personal hobby of the manager.

After renting the venue, he put the communication base station on the rack for the first time, and the antenna was hung on the top of the building, disguised with something inconspicuous.

With this thing, the players' VMs can finally receive the news from the shelter normally!

However, it may be because the fence is too high, and the signal here is too weak.

Late at night.

Shuyu, who was finally over, hung the earphones on his ears and got in touch with the manager of the shelter far away.

"My lord, according to your instructions, I have contacted the local decoration company for construction. The decoration of the lobby is expected to be completed within one week! The decoration of the second and third floors will also be completed within two weeks!"

"Yes, you did a good job."

A voice of approval came from the other end of the phone, and he paused for a while and then said.

"The problem of the venue is resolved, and the problem of the employees must be resolved as soon as possible. I need you to hire some local employees who understand the local situation, at least ten people, half of them on the field, and half on the inside."

The field office is responsible for responding to players and communicating with locals.

This is what Chu Guang promised in the version that it will provide players with a more convenient channel to hire NPCs with higher transaction levels to help them sell things.

When you are fine, you can also research the market, collect local rumors, organize them into intelligence and send them back to the shelter.

Soon the whole Qingquan City will be lively.

You should be able to hear a lot of interesting things from there by then.

As for internal services, they are civil servants in plain terms, including tellers who receive players, handle business, and release tasks, as well as negotiating other business with locals.

If you find unemployed engineers or even blue jackets from other shelters, you can introduce them to a new place.

If they want.

"... Staff training can be done in accordance with the manual I sent you. Salaries can be appropriately higher according to market conditions. We can't count on their loyalty, but we can tie them to our chariot with profit. superior."

"Grasp this for yourself, I believe in your abilities."

Holding the headphones in both hands, Shuyu nodded seriously.

"Okay adults, but now there is a problem... We only have 3,400 chips left in our account. Even according to the minimum standard here, we have to give an employee a daily salary of 3 chips, considering our needs To bear their food and lodging, the actual cost may be 4 to 5 chips, and the actual cost of employing one month may be as high as 150. If 10 people are hired at a time, our current funds can be used up to two months."

It's not just that the funds in the account are not enough.

More important is the source of funding!

Institutions that provide services to hundreds or even thousands of people cannot always rely on subsidies from shelters, not to mention that shelters do not have so many bargaining chips.

Hearing the concerns in his heart, Chu Guang said in a reassuring tone.

"Don't worry, the funding problem will be resolved soon. I hope you won't worry about the bargaining chip in the future. After the trade route is opened, you will be responsible for the bulk commodity import and export business between the refuge and Boulder City, and 10% of the transaction volume. Will be used as your funding."

"But remember, you are not a profit-making organization, but a public organization that serves the collective of shelters."

"I hope you keep this in mind!"

Simply put, the evaluation of departmental KPIs is not based on the retention of departmental funds. It cannot be wasted, but it does not need to be too economical, let alone fight with other departments to dig out funds.

In the future, you will not refer to this for promotion or promotion. If you raise the import price for a little money, you will have good fruits then.

However, what Chu Guang thought was simple, and it might be a little difficult for people in this world, so he simply changed a set of statements that he could understand.

Of course, Shuyu understood, and there was a hint of admiration in his heart.

Don’t take profit as the goal, the collective interests take precedence.

As expected of the manager!

No wonder it can rule such a large territory and unite the undisciplined wastelanders.

This far-sighted vision, as well as this state of mind, is indeed not comparable to ordinary wastelanders...

...

The next day.

Early in the morning, not long after the four little players got up, they were summoned by the NPC named Shuyu.

After putting on the equipment, Ye Shi said with great enthusiasm.

"What are we going to do today?"

Shu Yu replied in unskilled refuge language.

"We are going to recruit staff from the office, do you want to come together?"

Recruiting new NPCs? !

Is this a job that players can participate in? !

Hearing these words, the eyes of the four little players lit up instantly.

Especially Ye Shi, the whole person was excited.

"Will you refer to our opinions?"

Shu Yu was stunned for a moment, glanced at the VM, and nodded while looking at the subtitles that popped up on the screen.

"Can."

Of course.

After all, this office serves them.

Rather, their opinions are very important.

"Hahaha, Nice!"

Ye Shi threw a fist excitedly, with an expression of excitement on his face.

Shuyu: "......?"

Milk thought?

What do you mean?

VM translated it, but after watching it for a long time, he didn't understand what the translation result meant.

Feng Feng looked at Fang Chang helplessly, but he didn't expect that this guy was not a serious person, he was muttering while pinching his chin.

"This really has to be paid attention to... after all, it's a partner who wants to get along day and night."

Who can refuse the fair-skinned big sister and whisper in her ear "Be careful on the road", "Pay attention to safety", "I'll wait for you to come back"?

Taking 10,000 steps back, a vigorous "come on" can also make people full of energy!

Fang Chang swears that this is definitely not his personal hobby, mainly for the sake of everyone.

Gale sighed.

"A wave of rational analysis..."

Fang Chang immediately guessed what he was going to say, and interrupted his spellcasting directly.

"That's good, you can shut up."

Ye Shi: "Go away, I don't want to be rational!"

Lao Bai: "Well, I actually like gameplay more than reasonable."

"..."

Kuangfeng felt that it would be better not to talk too much.

The one who led the way was the Liszt caravan's guard, the man named Kaia with a bandage on his arm.

The group turned a few turns and came to a lively market.

However, it is different from other bazaars.

The goods sold in the stalls here are not a dazzling array of goods, but people.

Some sell others, and some sell themselves.

"This is the biggest ‘talent market’ in Boulder City! Whether you are a free man or a slave, you can find it here!"

"...Occasionally you can even see the bionics brought by the caravans outside, and even the good things eliminated from the homes of the noble lords in the inner city."

"There is no bigger talent market in Qingquan City anymore. If the people here can't see you, you can only go to the slums outside to try your luck. But the quality there is so bad... I miss you Probably not interested either."

After roughly giving an introduction, Kaiya smiled slightly and looked at Shuyu and others who were standing aside.

"Choose slowly. Just be careful of people with obvious signs tattooed on their bodies. These people may be gang members, and some are even predators. They don't have absolute confidence in the eyes. It's best to be cautious."

Shuyu looked at him unexpectedly.

"There are still predators here?"

"Of course. The gates of Boulder City are open to anyone. Predators won't write on their faces what they have done. But it's actually easy to distinguish them. Perception of breath is a required course for a seasoned fighter."

Kaia has a confident smile on his face.

"Anyway, I'll be fine until dark, if you can't make up your mind, I'm willing to help you!"

He is only a temporary worker in a caravan.

Although it has been working for a year, it is far from the core employees. If the market is not good, maybe they will be fired next year, and then they will have to go to the wasteland to make a living.

There is nothing wrong with having a good relationship with these people.

He knew very well in his heart that if there were no Liszt's relationship, these people would not have glanced at himself when they walked on the street.

Even the boss needs someone to please, so he will naturally not let go of this opportunity for courtesy.

Shuyu, who is devoted to work, doesn't have so much mental activity. After nodding and thanking him, he walked forward with the players.

This place is not so much a talent market as it is a refugee camp. It is really big, but the quality is hard to be completely satisfied.

Skinny people abound here, and most people have vegetable colors on their faces, and at first glance they live on those "nutrient creams that are not nutritious at all."

There are few people in formal wear, holding a sign full of words in their hands, writing their skills and job requirements.

Some people simply set up a stall to help others write on signs for a fee.

[Zhao Duo, an electrical engineer, expects a daily salary of 20 chips, accepts a 12-hour work schedule, can do carpentry work, and can also assemble iron-barreled rifles. 】

[Bilech, a blacksmith, worked in a steel factory. Whether it is a little guy or a big guy, he can use it. A daily salary of 6 chips, 5 chips is fine, unless he takes care of two meals and does not accept work outside the city. 】

[Rim, can use guns, daggers, everything. 】

【……】

Looking at the scene in front of them, Fang Chang and Ye Shi were desperate.

"I am desperate for the future."

"Yes, everyone has been genetically modified?"

Look around.

I didn't see a few beautiful ones.

"You two are also old players, it seems like you are in the game for the first time..." Old Baigan coughed, "With the nutritional conditions on the wasteland, good-looking is the minority?"

"Well, the poor people here are too skinny, but there are some pretty girls among the mercenaries..." Feng Feng's gaze was fixed on a beautiful woman in a leather coat, but when the other party looked over, he reflexively hid. opened.

Ye Shi argued with a counterexample: "But Xiaoyu!"

Fang Chang rolled his eyes to him.

"Is the nutrition not bad, do you think the manager is missing her meal?"

Kuangfeng nodded, and commented pertinently.

"Indeed, the little girl seems to be a little taller than when we first entered the game."

It's not just a small fish anymore.

Most of the younger NPCs in the outpost are pretty good-looking, especially those that are still developing.

For example, the boy named Xu Shun next to him, and Lu Bei who followed Brother Mole to Honghe Town.

These are the names they can call.

And the tribesmen next door also have some exotic feelings.

There was a glimmer of comprehension in Ye Shi's eyes.

"Understood, the version answer is to cultivate!"

Lao Bai: "..."

Fang Chang: "Enterprise-level understanding."

The wind held his forehead.

"I beg you to be a man."

...

Just as Shuyu and the players were selecting employees, at the gray squirrel clothing store on the other side, Schell was still sitting behind the wooden table and dozing off today.

The two clothes in the shop window are missing.

It is not sold or lost, but rented to people in need.

After all, those blue coats have to stay here for several days. Wouldn't it be a good place for him if they were finally sold?

Lost or broken?

That's just right.

Pay according to the price on the label and you're done.

Doing business with acquaintances is still very reliable.

The door banged open, and Schell, who was dozing off, almost fell off his chair.

Seeing Robb, his old friend who runs a bar, he suddenly cursed angrily.

"What are you doing? Don't you know to lighten up when you come in!"

Robb ignored him, and walked up with his eyes shining, slapped his hands on the wooden table in front of him, and said with a spittle star.

"Do you still have that kind of clothes?!"

Schell: "There is..."

Roboma continued non-stop: "I want as many as there are! And the socks, the very long one!"

Schill froze for a moment.

"I want it all?"

Suddenly recovered.

Sher, who hadn't woken up a second before, woke up instantly, looked at him with a serious expression and said.

"No problem, but it's devil silk, and it's refuge technology... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

"but--"

Schell prolonged the tone, and said as soon as the conversation turned.

"For the sake of our relationship, I can help you figure out a solution."

Robb, who had just shown a disappointed expression, immediately grabbed his hand when he heard the second half of the sentence and said excitedly.

"Thanks, brother!"

Schill cleared his throat~www.wuxiamtl.com~Ah, bargaining chip..."

"Haha, look at my memory! Almost forgot about the business!" Robb smiled, spread his hand and put it in his pocket, took out a bag of large denomination chips and slapped it on the table.

"Counting your deposit, 600 chips are all here! The remaining money will be used as a deposit!"

Surprised by this guy's refreshment, Schell moved quickly to put away the chips, while looking at him and asked.

"What do you want so many clothes for?"

"You know, I opened a bar!"

"Of course I know……"

"Then you certainly don't know what happened yesterday. It wasn't me bragging. Yesterday you should have gone to my place for a drink," Robb said with joy. NS!"
