This Game is Too Real

Spacious tent.

The man in luxurious clothes paced back and forth in the tent, with a bit of seriousness between his brows, as if he was struggling with something.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside.

Hearing the movement, he immediately put on a bright smile on his face and took the initiative to greet him at the entrance of the tent.

At almost the same time, Chu Guang appeared at the door of the tent.

"Xavier! A salesman from the Firestone Group! It's a pleasure to meet you, esteemed Alliance Leader!" Introducing himself in an enthusiastic and even exaggerated voice, Xavier also quietly looked at the man who appeared at the door.

Just like the rumors, the leader of the new alliance has a pair of obsidian-like eyes, handsome and young.

Most importantly, I heard that he was born in a refuge.

This situation is not uncommon in the wasteland. Although the leaders of most survivor settlements are native wastelanders, these survivor settlements are rarely very large, and the population of more than 10,000 is rare. .

The real big forces, such as enterprises and colleges, even the legions in the west of the mainland, the gods on the coast of death in the south... The origins are more or less related to the refuge.

However, what surprised him was that this man was actually an Awakener.

What the **** has this guy been through?

"Chu Guang, manager."

For Xavier's enthusiasm, Chu Guang was not very cold, and only briefly introduced himself.

After all, he was an arms dealer who sold weapons to the Bone-biting tribe, so it would be a coincidence to give him a good face.

Realizing that he used the wrong name, Xavier looked a little embarrassed.

But in the end, he is a business person who travels all over the world. Naturally, he is not ordinary thick-skinned, and he quickly adjusted.

"Sorry, I made the mistake of empiricism... Nice to meet you, the administrator of the alliance."

Chu Guang looked at him and went straight to the point.

"Explain your purpose."

Xavier nodded slightly.

"Mr. Sigma, the leader of our group, ask me to send you congratulations, congratulations on your victory in this war, and Xizhou City has welcomed a wise master!"

Congrats ok.

Shouldn't we cry for missing a major client?

But the war is over, and now is the time for development.

Chu Guang didn't want to make a mess, so he didn't make fun of his neighbors to the north, but just said something with a half-smile.

"Say hello to him for me too."

"I'll bring your greetings to you!" With a sigh of relief, Xavier cleared his throat and continued, "Besides the victory congratulations, Mr. Sigma explained to me before departure that I hope I can redeem it from you. Go back alone."

"Who?"

"Dilon, the captain of the 210,000th Legion's 210,000th team!"

"You said that person..." Chu Guang recalled the name, but his expression was a little subtle.

"Yes," Xavier was still trying to persuade, completely unaware of what had happened, "the war is over for you anyway, and there is no direct hatred between you and the Legion. That man is of no use to you, Why not use him for some ransom? We can pay him... half a million dinars, what do you think?"

500,000 dinars.

Certainly not a small sum.

Chu Guang was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Dillon was worth the money they spent to redeem.

If the guy was still alive, he wouldn't mind changing some ransoms, but unfortunately...

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't grant you this request."

Xavier was stunned, obviously not expecting that Chu Guang would refuse, and said anxiously.

"Do you think it's too little? According to the standards of the ten thousand commander, this price is already very fair-"

"Because he is already dead." Chu Guang interrupted him and said lightly.

"Dead?!" Hearing this sentence, Xavier was shocked, and his face changed and changed instantly.

Chu Guang didn't think so.

"Yes, there are no bullets on the battlefield, and anything can happen. Isn't this normal? Since he chose to squat in the same trench as those looters, he should have thought that he would have this day."

Speaking of which, Chu Guang looked at Xavier with scrutiny, "I'm curious, what are you doing to redeem him?"

"...This is Mr. Sigma's order. He didn't tell me more details." Xavier pretended to be calm, but his nervous expression had betrayed him.

Obviously, he wasn't completely ignorant.

Chu Guang smiled lightly, but did not continue to embarrass him.

The other party didn't want to talk, no matter how many questions they asked, it would be a waste of time, and the messenger could never be arrested and tortured.

That would be so out of place.

"If you're here for Dillon, your trip is destined to be a waste of time."

Xavier forced a forced smile from his face.

"How can... I can see you with my own eyes, this trip is not a waste of time."

After a pause, he continued.

"Mr. Sigma also explained the third thing to me, since the north-south trade route has been restored..."

"We want to sign a trade deal with you!"

...

outside the tent.

The rest area of ​​the visiting group.

Butan went to a nearby construction site, visited the drainage system of Auroville, and kept shaking his head when he came back.

"...There is a big problem with their construction plan. I can't see it now. According to the summer precipitation in Xizhou City in previous years, it will definitely be finished in July!"

"...It's not that serious, right? The survivors' settlement in Xizhou City has never been flooded before, right?" Yuan Feng had a hesitant expression on his face.

They are here to visit, not to pick on other people's homes. While he believes in Mr. Butane's expertise in environmental engineering, he is not in favor of extrapolation.

"Can a settlement of 5,000, or even tens of thousands, be the same as a settlement of two or three hundred people? Unless they plan to break the jar and soak it in the water."

Finally unable to hold back, Butan patted his thigh and stood up.

"I'm going to see their manager again! I have to make it clear to them!"

For the sake of that big gift, he couldn't even pretend he didn't see it.

The big deal is to take some time and help them redesign a plan!

It's not that hard anyway.

Butan walked towards the administrator's tent, and the rest of the visiting group continued to talk about their discoveries in Dawn City.

Able to build 1,000 emergency shelters in one day, the productivity of the new alliance is truly astonishing.

However, strong production capacity does not mean advanced productivity.

Objectively speaking, there are still many problems in the design and safety of those aluminum skin houses, and the technical content does not seem to come from the refuge.

There are many mountains near Xizhou City, and the wind is not very strong, so it is no problem to use it for a while.

But over time, the problem will definitely be exposed.

Everyone was talking at length, but a certain "mascot" was not involved.

The energetic Pai is now playing with the new toys he just got, sitting in the barracks and playing happily.

She quickly got the hang of controlling the drone. She programmed a simple control program with the tablet she carried and connected the drone to the VR glasses.

The propeller, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, trembled, and the silver-white ball flew into the sky.

Overlooking the land of Xizhou City from the perspective of the drone, Pai's face was full of amazement and surprise.

"It's incredible!"

It's a pity that the hummingbird drone has average battery life. After all, the size of the fist is there, and the capacity of the battery can be imagined.

After lowering the drone, Pai took off his glasses without hesitation, and his eyes couldn't help but have a look of longing.

"Tianqin, what do you think Dawn City will look like?"

Lyra sitting on the chair did not answer, as quiet as a wooden man.

Pai stared at its cloak, and suddenly there was a hint of curiosity in his heart.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen what it looks like yet.

When it came out of the giant gate, it wore this cloak that covered its entire body, and it did not communicate with anyone.

Obviously with such a nice name...

Pai asked in a low voice.

"Can I take a look?"

Tianqin did not speak.

Pai then whispered.

"...If you don't speak, I will take it as the default."

Still no response.

Gathering up his courage, Pai carefully stretched out his hand and gently lifted a corner of the thin cloak.

Unlike its name named after a star, under the shadow is a face with unremarkable features, like a mannequin placed in a dilapidated window.

The only difference is that its eyes move and stare straight at her.

"Is there a problem?"

These were Lyra's first words since she left the sanctuary.

Pai swallowed nervously, shook his head, and quickly retracted his hand.

Looking at the face that was covered by the cloak again, she whispered with some guilty conscience.

"I am sorry……"

Tianqin looked at her, as if confused.

After a moment, it said solemnly.

"There's no need to apologize, you didn't do something that required an apology."

Hearing this sentence, Pai, who was still nervous at first, breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

"It's fine if you're not mad at me."

anger?

Tianqin looked at her and did not speak.

The things I don't understand have increased...

...

the other side.

After meeting with the representatives of the Firestone Group, Chu Guang returned to his tent.

Negotiations with the Flint Group were unsuccessful.

Although Chu Guang did not reject the temporary shelving of the conflict, the "trade agreement" that the other party came up with made him roll his eyes without restraint.

Zero tariffs, exploration rights and mining rights.

Afraid to live in a dream!

Just these three items had already exceeded his bottom line, and Chu Guang couldn't see any substantial benefit from a lot of exchange conditions and promises given by the other party.

To put it bluntly, what does he get from doing business with the Bugra Free State?

A pile of ammunition?

The new alliance is not short of weapons at all, and there is no battle to be fought recently.

The primary task at the moment is to convert excess military production capacity to civilian use and ensure food supply and reserves in settlements.

From this perspective, doing business with farmers in the south is obviously better than doing business with arms dealers in the north.

"...In that case, let's talk about a more official trade agreement after we have enough trust in each other." After listening to the other party's request, Chu Guang directly rejected Xavier's request with one sentence.

And Xavier didn't say anything more, expressed regret and then left.

Chu Guang could feel that the other party did not have much sincerity towards this trade agreement.

Especially after hearing that Dillon was dead, the feeling was even more pronounced.

The Tooth Clan has been destroyed, and it is a matter of time before the Bone-chewing tribe falls apart.

However, there are still too many mysteries on this rotting corpse.

Why should a looter group be supported by the Torch Church and the Legion at the same time?

There must be some hidden secrets in it.

It's a pity that Gold Tooth is dead, and Dillon is also dead. He can only find a way to investigate from other prisoners of war...

Entrance to the tent.

Chu Guang happened to see Butan who was waiting there, so he put away his dignified expression, and a pleasant smile appeared on his face again.

"What's the matter? Friends at Camp 101."

The old man did not go around in circles and went straight to the point.

"The drainage system of Dawn City needs to be redesigned. According to the current construction plan, it will definitely become a puddle in July!"

into a puddle?

Is it so exaggerated?

Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang's face showed a hint of surprise, and he immediately took it seriously.

"Can you elaborate?"

"I'm here to discuss this with you!"

Butan did not hold back and told Chu Guang of his findings, including the precipitation in Xizhou City in previous years, including the places where the drainage system was not well-designed.

After carefully listening to his suggestion, Chu Guang calmly sent a task to the chief designer of the alliance [Leave People under the Sword].

The city planning of the new alliance is mainly done by the players. Although the design concept of the 21st century is enough to be used in the wasteland, it is inevitable to copy it and cause negligence.

Being able to communicate more with the experts on the wasteland will not only be of great benefit to the future development of the new alliance, but also will definitely help the players' own personal development.

"The design of the drainage system can't be sloppy! Can I trouble you to communicate with our designers about the specific improvement plan?"

Unexpectedly, Chu Guang attached so much importance to his own opinion. In addition to being surprised, Butan couldn't help but bring a hint of joy on his face, and immediately patted his chest to make sure his vote.

"No problem! I'll stay here for a few days. I'll help you think of a way to see if I can improve the design."

And this good thing? !

Of course Chu Guang would not refuse, and immediately said with joy.

"Great, then I'll trouble you!"

Butan smiled embarrassedly, "No trouble, it's a trivial matter. It's the visiting group, but I have to trouble you to take care of it!"

Chu Guang smiled and said, "That's for sure! Don't worry, leave it to me!"

...

The construction site of Dawn City.

Construction of the sewer was called to a halt.

Squatting on the concrete pier, he left people staring at the drawings in his hands, scratching his ears and cheeks, and his scalp was about to be pierced.

Just received the task, the manager called him over and introduced him to an old man who is said to be studying environmental engineering.

In the beginning, I didn't care about keeping people under the knife, I just thought it was a plot.

However, what he didn't expect was that just after the manager introduced the old man to him, the old man took his blueprint and pointed at him non-stop.

VM solves the problem of communication.

Someone was pointing fingers at his own drawings, and he immediately became unhappy about leaving people under the knife, and immediately argued with the old man.

However, after arguing for a while, he suddenly began to realize that what the other party said seemed to make sense.

And more than that.

This is embarrassing...

Seeing Makabazi who was passing by, he couldn't help but lean over curiously.

"What's wrong brother?"

The man under the knife sighed.

"I don't understand..."

He told Makabazi what happened just now.

The latter scratched his head and said with a confused expression.

"All in all... an NPC who thinks there's something wrong with your design? And now the sewer construction has been called off?"

"Yes." Under the knife, Liu Ren nodded honestly.

Makaba was startled.

"Damn it, what does the NPC know?"

"No... This NPC is different from other NPCs, and he said something." Knife left someone with a sigh.

While talking, he even felt like he was back in class.

Whether it was the design concept or the design idea, the academic level and professional level displayed by the other party made him doubt whether the person standing in front of him was an NPC or a "professor" in an NPC coat.

I really miss thinking about it.

How many years have you been working?

Although I am not a master in the field of civil engineering and urban planning, and I haven't worked in the front line for a while, my experience is absolutely worthless.

The more he thought about leaving people under the knife, the more puzzled he became.

a gaming company.

As for making such little things so professional?

Makabazi scratched his head.

"What about now?"

He didn't know anything about how to design and how to build it. In reality, he didn't do it either. As a strength student, he only knew how to perform miracles with great force.

Anyway, there are so many bosses in this game, and he doesn't need to think so much.

"It's not very good, let's change it according to his method first," Knife stayed with a sigh, patted his trousers and stood up, "Call the foreman of the aid team for a meeting."

"There are new work arrangements."

...

The next morning.

The northern suburb of Qingquan City.

With the drum beat of the band and the cheers of the people, the train full of victory and glory drove into the station north of Dawn City with a long whistle.

People held flower baskets and threw the petals to the train to celebrate the victory of the warriors.

The boys chase each other, laugh at the fringes of the crowd, play war games, and take turns playing righteous soldiers and evil predators.

The roar of the train can be used as an accompaniment.

Although the real battlefield is far more cruel than the script they can imagine.

Most of the girls stood beside their parents, looking at the train with curiosity and longing in their eyes.

Quietly pulling Shuangxue's sleeve, Shuanghe, who was standing beside his father, lowered his voice and said softly with the corners of his mouth bent.

"...Did you feel your heart beating faster?"

Shuangxue blushed and glared at her sister, but she didn't take her eyes away from the train.

The youngest Shuang Ye blinked, not quite understanding what the eldest and second sisters were discussing.

The guards of Dawn City formed a long queue next to the railway to maintain the order at the scene, keeping the crowd away from the railway to avoid accidents.

However, even so, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of the residents of Dawn City like waves.

The war is over!

This is without a doubt an epic victory!

Those barbarians who drank blood and hair, could no longer threaten the peace and prosperity of Dawn City.

Praise the Union!

Praise the manager!

Thanks to those warriors on the expedition, who cut off sin with their swords—

Each of them is a hero!

Standing in the cab of the train, looking at the happy faces outside the window, Chu Guang couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

He patted the conductor's seat lightly.

"Slow down and let our soldiers enjoy the joy of victory for a while."

The train conductor smiled and nodded.

"Okay, my lord!"

The long whistle sounded, and the train slowly slowed down.

At the same time, the carriages at the back were equally lively.

"Oh oh oh, is this the capital of the new alliance!" He pressed his face to the car window, his eyes filled with excitement, and he wanted to stick his head out.

Seeing this, Yuan Feng quickly reached out and pulled the restless little girl back, staring at her and scolding.

"Be quiet! Have you forgotten what your teacher said to you, you represent the image of all the residents of our Camp 101... Do you want to embarrass everyone?"

Pai pouted sullenly, and glanced to the side secretly.

"It's not just me like this..."

It's not just her.

Compared to the behavior of the players, she is relatively restrained.

For example, a certain tail not only stuck its face to the car window, but also squeezed its nose out of shape.

"My giao! Little fish! Woohoo, cute little fish, must want to die!"

Si Si, who was sitting beside him, sighed softly.

"Awei wake up, your little fish is obviously going to greet the manager, right?"

"I don't care! I'm going to kiss the little fish!" Tails shouted.

Hearing this, the big white bear sitting opposite the two suddenly became unhappy, and even raised his eyebrows... although it was not obvious.

"Shut up! The little fish is obviously mine!"

Tails was taken aback.

"Hey! You rambunctious flesh, are you worthy of Teddy!?"

"What the **** is Teddy, don't pull CP for me!"

"Don't be arguing... Do you want to have one bite?"

The cat above his head swayed uncomfortably, and the sesame paste tried to appease the noisy one person and one bear.

Si Si, who was sitting next to him, sighed and reminded helplessly.

"...I can understand your feelings, but if you go against the wishes of the NPC, you will be kicked off the assembly line if you plot against the NPC."

At this time, a gentle electronic sound sounded in the car.

Not a joint language.

but Mandarin.

"Hello, dear players, this train is about to arrive at the station, and the residents of the new alliance are welcoming us in triumph. I hope everyone pays attention to their words and deeds, and does not exaggerate and affect the collective image."

"Because of the mechanism of one person, one account, the account of the social death cannot be cancelled, so please act like a normal person at least during the plot!"

Tail immediately moved his face away from the car window.

"Huh? Was that the sound of planning just now?"

Sis looked at the horn on the roof of the car.

"...Who knows."

The train arrives at the station.

flowers.

applause.

And cheers!

It's all coming in like a tide!

Feeling the enthusiasm that rushed to the face, the players who walked out of the carriage couldn't help but feel a little dazed for a while.

It feels like...

They are true heroes.

No, I can't say it seems, it should be said that it is!

They protect one side of the world!

The sense of honor and spiritual satisfaction that they have never felt from other games, like sprouting seeds, sprouted in their hearts.

This sense of achievement that goes deep into the soul is far from comparable to a few lines of cold numbers and a few lines of text in the conclusion of the customs clearance.

Looking at the flowers that were forcibly shoved into their hands, the construction site boy and Brick murmured in a daze.

"This game is too real..."

"thanks!"

She took the flowers from the little girl's hand with a smile, and Irena politely said thank you.

Watching the blushing girl get into the crowd, he stared at the flowers in his hand, and suddenly leaned in and sniffed curiously.

In the end, he couldn't hold back, he reached out and picked one flower and threw it into his mouth.

emmm...

taste ok?

Standing next to the canyon, a mole rat was fleeing, and when he saw this scene, he cast a surprised look at Lao Na.

"Hey! Don't you even spare the flowers?"

Irena said naturally.

"What if you can add a buff?"

How do you know if you don't try it?

Isn't the buff with monster flesh and physique just tried out like this?

Mole couldn't help but grumble.

"There is a ghost BUFF!"

This guy must be crazy!

On the platform of the train station, he stepped off the train surrounded by flowers. Chu Guang looked at Boss Xia, Xiaoyu, Yu Hu, Old Charlie, Luka and everyone in the crowd with a smile on his face.

"I am back."

"Congratulations on your triumph, esteemed administrator, we have prepared a victory banquet for you." Old Charlie said respectfully.

"As long as you are safe and sound." Seeing the intact Chu Guang, Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

The pale yellow flowers were stored in the palm of her hand, and she was too shy to hand them out in the end.

"thanks."

Looking at the people who supported him, Chu Guang smiled and nodded.

Although his hand was almost too full, he still reached out and took the flowers from everyone's hands.

After returning, plant it near the sanatorium.

Looking at the azure blue armor covered with colorful petals, Xia Yan whispered.

"Aren't you hot wearing this iron bump every day? It's almost summer."

Chu Guang smiled slightly and said slightly proudly.

"You don't understand this. This iron lump has its own air conditioner, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. Would you like to wear it and try it?"

Xia Yan blushed.

"You... said something strange."

Chu Guang: "...?"

He thought about it, but couldn't figure out what was wrong with his words.

There must be something wrong with the listener.

The triumphal ceremony lasted from day to noon.

The banquet and carnival of celebration lasted from noon to evening.

Tons of fine wine and food consumed all day today, I am afraid.

However, even the old Luca, who was thrifty, would not say much on this occasion.

Celebrate for a shared victory.

After tonight, those who came together to survive will be more united than they were yesterday.

The night is getting darker~www.readwn.com~ Players who are still in the mood to go offline one after another.

However, the lively atmosphere was far from over, but was taken to the forum on the official website by them.

While they are having fun in the game, people outside the game are not idle either.

The market of silver coins has completely entered a white-hot period.

The astronomical pay bills emerged one after another, and the big money owners who didn't know where they came from seemed to be on the top, madly throwing money to recover the silver coins in the hands of the players.

Seeing that the price is becoming more and more irrational, the game official finally came forward.

And made two announcements in a row.

[Due to the fluctuation of the server network, the silver coin trading platform is temporarily suspended for one day]

【Special Event: The special loot auction has officially started! 】
