This Game is Too Real

The outpost, at the west gate.

Inside the wooden barn.

A behemoth was lying on the ground, its huge tail curled up into a ball, and its amber pupils were loitering around.

As long as it is a wastelander who was born and raised on this continent, whether it is an awakened or an ordinary person, seeing this guy will instinctively feel fear, and will spontaneously send a message to the strong who can overcome and surrender this thing. Inner admiration.

As one of the existences on the wasteland at the top of the food chain, death claws are absolutely T1 and even T0-level existences, whether it is power, speed, concealment, or physique.

It's too strong to be able to restrain this thing with a few chains and a collar!

but……

This death claw had obviously been fed some salted fish, the ferocity in his eyes had obviously been replaced by laziness, and his temper was not as violent as before.

What's the use of being fierce?

Most people here are not afraid of it.

Especially the human being dressed in iron lumps.

Every time it is fed, a strong aura will radiate from its body, which makes it feel...fear from the heart?

The IQ of Death Claw is not high, but this is only relative to humans.

Compared with small animals such as hyenas, jackals, and brown bears, it is still smarter, and its mind can reach the level of primate cubs.

It is for this reason that the feeling of fear must be particularly obvious.

Whenever it exhibits unfriendly behavior or even just an expression, the feeling of freezing its brain makes it unable to resist stiffness and trembling all over.

On the other hand, if it behaves docile and obedient enough, the man will feed it a few more mice or hyenas.

Over time, it has figured out a new way of survival.

Recently, the human has played some new tricks. Every time he feeds, he will call it "Nicole". Although I don’t know what this call means, as long as it shows a response, the iron can that scares the lizard will be Glad to reward it.

Who cares?

Maybe it's the human name.

Nicole doesn't care much about things that he can't understand. For him who has abandoned the wild, eating a full nap is all it needs.

Crawling on the ground, it closed its eyes and planned to take a nap before lunch.

However, at this moment, a group of noisy sounds disturbed its sleep.

Nicole opened her eyes, and saw a little bug walking towards herself noisily with a few blue coats behind her.

As he walked forward, Jun Jun said braggingly with a few friends of the cattle and horse herd.

"... If you don't blow it, you don't feel like you are a strong group! Don't say it's a dead bug, I can slap the nest to death!"

Ye Shi suddenly spoke.

"Speaking of when did the lizard's Q issue come?"

Lao Bai thought for a while and said.

"It seems to be spring."

Quit smoking and ask curiously.

"Do you think that dead claw will court Jun Jun?"

Tomato scrambled eggs touched his chin thinking.

"Maybe it will, after all, this guy is on the hook."

Everyone was unanimously optimistic about the pair, only Jun Trash tweeted his tongue.

"You people, your thinking is really dirty! Play a game of CPDD every day, you can't be purer!"

Ye Shi smiled hippiely.

"Yes, it's okay, there's no younger brother, so speaking is so hard."

Being poked in the painful spot, Jun Jun gave him an angry look.

"Fuck off!"

Of course the trashman who came here was not for courtship.

Although he has the body of a lizard, he is still a human in spirit, and sticking to reptiles is still a bit too heavy.

What's more, it doesn't have that thing either.

The heterogeneous sequence, whether it is a lizard or a mouse, is a "eunuch" without exception. It may be that it was too curious, and the operator simply didn't build the model that he should have.

But in Jun Jun's opinion, this is not an important thing at all.

Game.

Strong is enough, as for the other is not important!

How to prove yourself strong?

For lizards, the most direct way is of course to get the recognition of the same kind, especially the females of the same kind.

The amber pupil looked over from the wooden shed.

Seeing that the beast noticed him, Jun Jun held his breath and stared at it, releasing his "aura".

Two pairs of eyes, one large and one small, stared at each other like this, probably half a minute later.

Nicole, who was lying in the wooden shed, didn't know if he understood what he meant, and let out a snort with a sneer, blowing a few straws and falling at Jun Junjun's feet.

The huge tail changed its steering wheel, and the amber pupil closed casually, not paying attention to it.

"Puff ha ha ha ha!"

He didn't hold back smoking, and he laughed out loud.

Although the others didn't laugh, their faces appeared to be subtle.

Jun Jun's face flushed, and he defended himself.

"It may be sleepy."

"Okay, okay, forget Junkie," Fang Chang patted his tail distressedly, "Let's go to Yuanxi Town to brush the material, be good."

With the help of the taster Lao Na, a method for processing monster meat has recently been developed for scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

As long as you sprinkle some buffalo grass powder when marinating, you can remove the unpleasant **** smell and make the monster meat less unpalatable.

Fry it until golden on both sides and sprinkle some pine nuts and chopped croissant stems. It is not only delicious in the world, but also provides a BUFF bonus of "5% metabolism, 7% physique".

As it tastes similar to beef and can provide BUFF bonuses, recently the hunter union's hunting demand for monsters has suddenly increased.

The wind that had been silent for a while suddenly spoke.

"I heard that female lizards raise their tails when they court."

Quit smoking: "That means I didn't see it?"

Ask about scrambled eggs with tomatoes with interest.

"Where is the male lizard?"

Gale: "I remember it was wagging the tail."

The most educated person here is Professor Feng.

Ye Shi suddenly smiled and looked at Jun Jun.

"Brother, how about... let's try?"

Junkie: "Fuck!"

It was embarrassing.

Wouldn't it be more embarrassing if you fail to try!

Although the attribute is only 3, he is not stupid!

Gu Feng pinched his chin thinking, suddenly said.

"By the way, there is actually one thing I have always cared about."

Yesterday he checked the information about lizards for several hours, but he didn't want to understand it.

Being stared at by Professor Kuangfeng, Jun Jun always feels an ominous feeling.

This guy was a little bit against him today...

"...What do you care about?"

"I remember before... Didn't you tell me that you have four points of intelligence? You haven't awakened yet, right?" Kuangfeng asked suspiciously, "Why did you become less after awakening?"

Quit smoking looked at Jun Jun in surprise.

"Anything else?"

Jun Jun gave a dry cough and subtly looked away.

"Don't care about these details... Don't you want to go to Yuanxi Town? Hurry up, you won't be able to catch up with the car when it's too late."

"There are 9 attribute points from LV0 to LV9, and there is no increase in intelligence at all. I don't think I am embarrassed to talk about it," Fang Chang patted the shoulder of the wind, sighed, "Understand."

Jun Jun: "amp;@%￥!"

...

Three days have passed since the end of the wave.

The spore cloud gathered in the northern suburbs is fading at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the morale of the survivors in the northern suburbs has reached unprecedented heights.

This morale is not obvious to the players.

After all, in other games such as Azeroth, Skyrim or Helallu, they have already saved the world countless times.

A city is too small for them.

Brood?

Evolutionary body?

It's just the main storyline wave SS of LV10~20.

However, for the survivors living in Qingquan City, especially the northern suburbs, overcoming the tide has a completely different meaning.

In the eyes of the vast majority of survivors in Qingquan City, the tide is an existence that Boulder City can cope with.

When the gray-green fog is filled, the vast majority of people can only choose to avoid dangerous urban areas, or reduce travel, curl up at home and pray, praying that the wave will end soon.

Those blue jackets from Refuge 404 did what they could not even think of, and even solved the wave faster than Boulder City!

Those arrogances who live in the wall?

It's just that!

...

Inside the outpost, at this moment, it was full of lights and festoons, and it was lively like a festive season.

Since the Spring Festival and the new version are coming soon, and the previous victory has not had time to celebrate, Chu Guang decided to celebrate the three things together, and set the celebration on the first day of the B round test.

Cooking food is a traditional preservation project of Refuge 404.

The same is true for this celebration.

Obtain delicious food affirmed by players, NPCs, and managers. Not only can you enter the chef’s hall of fame with your teammates, you also have the opportunity to see your own work in the NPC shop, and earn generous activity points.

Many professional combat players ran to Changjiu Farm early in the morning, waiting in line for the shuttle bus to Yuanxi Town, and couldn't wait for the magical animals to return on the hour.

Life professional players are not idle either, some go fishing, some go mushroom picking, and some go to the fields to catch toads. The whole forum is full of rustic flavor.

Especially now that the number of ear-mounted camera equipment is gradually increasing, the number of refuges has reached 200, and Chu Guang has opened it to players to purchase.

As long as the contribution point reaches a medium citizen and pays 500 silver coins, the "game screenshot" + "instant messaging" function can be unlocked from the manager's assistant Xiaoqi.

After having a headset, not only can you remotely communicate with players in the VM friend list, but you can also synchronize "compliant" photos to the forum account.

Many cloud players on the forum followed a wave of feasting their eyes and saw many magical animals that are not in reality.

In addition to the players who caught food by themselves, some players turned their attention to the trading post of Changjiu Farm and the merchants in the past.

Occasionally, foreign traders bring some special products from neighboring provinces, such as dried lizards, canned fruits and sugar from Jinchuan province in the south, or sawtooth tiger meat, yak milk and colorful mineral salt from the north.

These traders are very satisfied with the products of Changjiu Farm, especially those exquisitely crafted copper shell bullets. Often only two or three magazines can be exchanged for a full box of hundreds of kilograms from their hands.

And those bullets are just mass-produced on the assembly line, and the cost can scare these wastelanders to death.

In addition to the food, the players have not forgotten to give their hometown a new year's skin.

Especially the professional life players who are mainly active in the outpost area consciously put festive paper-cuts on the buildings around the quality square.

Not only that, they also posted creative couplets at the entrances of NPC offices such as nursing homes, weapons shops, warehouses, banks, hunter unions, etc.

Standing at the door of the weapon store, looking at the red paper hanging at the door, Boss Xia's face was full of weird expressions.

"What's written on this?" She asked Chu Guang who looked aside.

"Mushrooms have risen, meat has risen, and mushrooms have risen and risen again. Thankfully, the weapons have not risen, so I criticized it: Version conscience...Haha, this group of talents is a bit interesting."

As he read, Chu Guang couldn't help but laughed.

The confrontation is not neat.

But it also has the style of the players.

If these sand sculpture netizens could really come up with a serious couplet, Chu Guang would be surprised.

"...?"

Xia Yan sounded confused, but Chu Guang read it out, and these players were planning to give out silver coins randomly.

but……

What does this have to do with yourself?

What you mean is A Guang, what does it have to do with my Dawn?

As we all know, in order to take care of the experience of new players, any online game has a version catch-up mechanism, and "numerical expansion" is just one of the countless cards in the hands of planners.

However, Chu Guang's starting point for printing money is different from the planning of other games. He prints money according to the gross production value of players and NPCs, and balances the income between different groups.

Thanks to the supercomputer with unknown computing power buried under the shelter, and the unlimited production of VM equipment in the black box.

Without these two black technologies and Xiao Qi's help, it would not be something that could be done with just a touch of a mouthful to complete these tasks.

Chu Guang roughly calculated that at least 10% or even 20% of the labor force needs to be converted into administrative personnel to barely maintain the operation of this management system.

To describe it in terms of a simulated business game, due to the "Future Municipal" technology of Refuge 404, managers only need less than 150 grassroots administrative staff with only secondary or even elementary education to maintain nearly 2,000 permanent residents. "Smiley faces" with 1500 players.

Who would dare to say that there is no black technology in Vault 404?

Compared with the controllable fusion, this black technology is only a bit weaker. I am afraid that it is not too strong, and the forced grid is slightly weaker.

The little fish standing aside curiously recognized the words on the couplet.

Chu Guang looked at her and said with a smile.

"Speaking of you don't have the Spring Festival?"

Xiaoyu shook his head into a small windmill.

"No!"

Chu Guang vaguely remembered that Xiaoyu had told himself before.

Only the birthdays of the former mayor and his children will be celebrated on Beit Street, and most of them are called to the town’s people to do free work and receive gift money, so no one likes the celebration.

To be able to be like this, everyone gathers together to celebrate because of the same happy thing, it looks like a dream to Xiaoyu.

"...At this time in previous years, the south side would have been banging, sometimes all night," the little fish tilted his head and thought for a while, and said with an idea, "It's like thunder!"

To the south... should it be near the West Third Ring Road?

You can't hear it in Linghu Wetland Park, but in Beit Street, you should be able to hear the sound of cannons coming from there.

Chu Guang asked curiously.

"How long does it usually last?"

"If it is fast, it will be over in a week, if it is slow, it may take a month." After thinking about it for a while, Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, and said affirmatively, "This year should be relatively late. Xiaoyu has never seen this in Beijiao. Big fog!"

As long as she came out of the shelter a few days ago, she was wearing a gas mask.

But it suffocated her.

It has never been this serious before.

Chu Guang nodded, thoughtfully.

"It seems that the spread of spores is regional..."

...

Although the tide in the northern suburbs had already ebbed ahead of schedule, there were still a lot of things waiting for Chu Guang to go busy.

Because the northern suburbs miraculously rushed to solve the crisis of the wave in front of Boulder City, coupled with the active activities of the Shuyu sent to Boulder City by Chu Guang, many Boulder City merchants have been attracted recently, leading the two heads. The cattle drove to the northern suburbs.

The north gate of Qingquan City, "facing the wilderness", has never been so lively.

Especially when the merchants discovered that the "artwork" of the Queen of Night Bar was actually produced here, they were all crazy in an instant.

In addition to the three treasures of art, devil silk and spiritual leaf that satisfy the curiosity of LSPs, there are also many other good things here.

For example, Didiwei Nutrition Cream was almost sold out by the dealers in Boulder City!

The wholesale price of 299 silver coins per ton, according to the current exchange rate, is less than 150 chips. Compared with the ex-factory price of 300 chips per ton of Vega, what is the difference between buying here and picking it for nothing?

And not only the price is cheap, but the quality is not bad at all.

At the beginning, Dittwe, the factory director, planned to form a caravan of his own to sell the goods to Boulder, but later found that this operation was completely unnecessary.

His cost has been compressed to around 140 silver coins per ton, and the rush of orders is even more than three months later. He can produce more than double the profit even if he exerts his strength, so he is still tossing a wool?

With that silver coin, it's better to invest in more hunting teams to sweep buildings on the edge of the Fifth Ring Road. The income from scavenging can completely balance the expenditure of ammunition.

It's all done!

With such a huge profit, even Liszt was jealous.

KV-1 exoskeleton and solid-state hydrogen batteries make money to make money, but the gross margin is really inferior to such inconspicuous things as nutritional cream.

Gangs in the slums at the gates of Boulder City will buy it, and farmers in the south will also buy them in large quantities.

200g can make people feel hungry, and double the amount can make people full. It is perfect for feeding slaves and livestock.

In addition to artworks and nutritional creams sold out, there are also mosquito gas masks, bicycles and helmets from No. 81 Steel Plant, disinfectant water from chemical plants, and some cheap and easy-to-use gadgets.

The LD-47 sickle assault rifle is not very popular with the traders of Boulder City, but it does not prevent the mercenaries from loving it.

Low failure rate, easy maintenance, and powerful enough.

Coupled with the biggest advantage of being cheap, it is enough for them to open their wallets, exchange their chips for silver coins, and then take the silver coins to the boss in Xia to spend.

In addition to the few big bosses who opened the factory, the most cool thing is undoubtedly the professional life players in North Street.

Few of the mercenaries who came from Boulder City with Liszt's caravan before spent their stalls.

However, recently, these mercenaries from Boulder City seem to have suddenly become rich, surprisingly generous.

Even if the ramen went from 5 silver coins to 6 silver coins, some people paid the bill.

A bowl of mushroom soup with silver coins is even more acclaimed. It is fragrant and delicious. The most important thing is that the proprietress is beautiful, speaks nicely, and there is an endless stream of people in line.

These merchants and mercenaries from afar not only stimulated a wave of consumption, but also brought a lot of good things produced by Boulder City.

These merchants sell a wide variety of goods, ranging from weapons to daily necessities.

In fact, Boulder City, as an old large-scale survivor settlement that completed industrialization a long time ago, has a much stronger industrial capacity than Refuge 404.

The local development model has largely borrowed from the ideal city of the enterprise, which can be seen from the "ship and cargo worship" of the upper-class society in the inner city towards the ideal city from culture to commodities.

The design idea of ​​the KV-1 exoskeleton is modeled after the miner series, the Black Swan G9 assault rifle imitated by the drone X-2 assault rifle, and they have imitated the "heritage inheritors" of the East Coast in many areas.

The factory in Boulder City cannot produce metallic hydrogen, but it can produce second-level solid hydrogen. It cannot produce the fusion engine that drives the fortress of the land, but the engine that can boil water can be made compact and cheap.

Chu Guang admitted that there is a big gap between the survivor settlements in the northern suburbs and Boulder City, regardless of population or industrial capacity. When the two sides have reached a certain level of communication and understanding of each other, friction may be inevitable.

However, even if the relationship deteriorates to the point of a full-scale war, it is not a matter of one day or two.

Even if they fight tomorrow, it will not prevent him from stalking their wool today.

In order to protect the local industry and increase exports, Chu Guang had already adjusted the exchange rate of silver coins to chips from 1:2 to 2:1 when Liszt came in to set up the factory, and distinguished and restricted the foreign exchange quotas of individuals and enterprises. .

In this way, players will find that buying KV-1 exoskeleton from the NPC store is much cheaper than buying imported goods in Boulder.

Similarly, exporting products from the northern suburbs to Boulder City will have more profit than simply dragging them to the market and selling them.

"I have never seen so many chips."

The warehouse at the outpost.

Looking at the pile of colorful chips in the box, Old Charlie let out a heartfelt emotion.

Although he is also the blue coat of the refuge, after living in Qingquan City for so many years, he has long been accustomed to the local life.

With such a large amount of valuable things in front of him, it is impossible to say that there is no shock at all.

Chu Guang smiled faintly.

"Is there no old leech?"

Charlie knew who Chu Guang was talking about, and said softly.

"He is just the category of the rich people."

There are many denominations of chips in Boulder City, the most common being white, and it is also the most widely circulated currency outside of Boulder City.

In addition, there are 5 face value red, 25 face value green, and 100 face value black.

Regardless of the large denominations of chips, generally you can only see them in the inner city, but most of the people there swipe their cards to make transactions, and rarely put chips with a denomination greater than 100 in their pockets.

Neither can it be change, and few people can find it.

He had seen the former mayor’s vault. There were three people in the same box, but most of them were the cheapest white chips.

Unlike in this box, you can see even the dark ones.

Chu Guang asked with a smile.

"Is the money enough to become a rich man in Boulder City?"

After checking ideally, he gave a rigorous answer.

"...I have only been there a few times, but if it is the kind of extravagant life I understand, it should be more than enough."

Chu Guang smiled and said nothing.

After a pause, he cleared his throat.

"I plan to set up a trade union~www.wuxiamtl.com~ to organize some caravans to trade with other survivors’ settlements, expand our influence, and at the same time help my players... I mean the residents find something Things do."

Old Charlie nodded.

"This is a good idea."

Although the second half of the sentence sounds strange, he agrees with the first part.

At this stage of the development of the northern suburbs, it is not enough to expand the territory on the territory, and there are not so many people developing those lands at all.

It is not just an economic issue. Only by gaining sufficient regional influence can the northern suburbs obtain population and resources for further development.

Chu Guang looked at Old Charlie and continued.

"Your knowledge and places you've been to are probably the most people I know."

"This job."

"I plan to leave it to you!"
