This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 761 The training session in the swamp and the upheaval in the southern sea area

  Land No. 721 does not have a coffee shop or restaurant, but there is a library.

  More than that, there are quite a few books here, and the repair is also very elegant. It is basically the largest "cement house" in the town.

  Usually in the morning, students of the right age are in school, and workers are working on the well team, so three "academic people" who returned home to visit relatives chose to gather here.

   And Night Ten from Union.

  Jiang Xuezhou planned to make a cup of coffee for everyone, but Wu Xiaoxiao took it as soon as he took out the coffee pot.

   "Let me do it." The girl smiled shyly, with a very shallow dimple on her face.

  Jiang Xuezhou didn't refuse either, and politely said thank you, then pulled out a chair and sat at the table.

   Soon there were four cups of coffee on the table.

  Seeing a pair of expectant eyes looking at him, Ye Shi, who had just taken a sip of coffee, immediately understood their eyes, so he coughed lightly.

   "Where was the last time I talked?"

   Li Xiang said with piercing eyes.

   "The decisive battle on Beit Street!"

   "Oh..." Ye Shi suddenly remembered, and the old memory was opened at the same time.

   But by the way, that thing is also called a decisive battle?

   But in the end it was he who said it himself, Ye Shi cleared his throat, and continued speaking with the emotions at that time.

  Including Wu Xiaoxiao, who was still a prospector, everyone was fascinated by what they heard.

   But when he was talking about the beginning of the alliance's industrialization, Li Xiang suddenly raised his hand and interrupted his story.

"Wait a minute, there is one thing I didn't understand... You just said that most of the initial residents of the alliance were wastelanders and freed slaves. They had no education at all, and they didn't even know how to develop industries. ?”

  Wu Xiaoxiao also nodded in agreement.

   "I heard that people in the wasteland can't even count..."

  Ye Shi nodded approvingly.

"This is really difficult. Even our wise and mighty manager Mr. felt tricky, but he was not discouraged. On the one hand, he called on the knowledgeable shelter residents to join the front-line construction. He taught the liberated people the empirical methods and skills in the book, and even... he even became a tutor himself."

   Li Xiang frowned slightly and asked.

   "Night school... is it a kind of school?"

  Ye Shi said concisely.

   "That's right, but unlike the school on Beit Street, the night school is mainly to help adults to literacy. After all, the workers have to go to work during the day, so they can only study at night."

  He is a professional combat player. Although he also participated in the construction work in the early stage, he still fought a lot later.

   In contrast, the professional players in the league may have a better understanding of the situation at that time. After all, he heard a lot of things from the forum.

   "Work during the day and study at night... Then they don't have much time in the day." Holding a warm coffee cup, Wu Xiaoxiao said with emotion.

"Learning is also for themselves. If a person wants to be easy, he must use more advanced production tools. If a group of people want to be easy, most of them must use more advanced tools. Relying on pottery machines cannot make the league what it is today. Although it was essential at the time."

   Paused, Ye Shi said again.

   “Also, their hard work was only temporary, and later we gave them back their time, including other things borrowed from them.”

  Li Xiang asked with interest: "For example?"

Ye Shi thought for a while and said: "For example, power and responsibility. In the future, we will not teach them how to make products better. They have their own industry representatives and organizations. They need to make their own rules and define their own. What is 'good'. Not just products, but also lifestyles, etc. After all, the version...cough, I mean the world is constantly updating, and we are ahead of the world, such as liberating more people."

  The eyes of the three were shining brightly, and they were attracted by the stories he described.

  Strictly speaking, this is not a story, after all, this is what happened in the wasteland, and it is happening.

  Although the light from that ray of flame itself is not surprising, what is surprising is that it was born in the ruins of nothing.

  There is no near-magical technology of the Science Committee, no steel-like dominance of the legion, and no rich resources of the enterprise, only a group of surviving people themselves.

   It would be great if such a miracle could be born in the Wandering Swamp. Although it is a bitterly cold place, the conditions are actually much better than those in the River Valley Province.

   There was a light of longing in the eyes of the three of them, Ye Shi coughed lightly and said.

"...I still have to say that our method is not the only one, and you have actually done a good job. The people here are already living better than most of the survivors in the wasteland. You don't have to Start from scratch like us, and that would put the cart before the horse.”

   Li Xiang looked at him and asked sincerely.

   "Then what do you think we should do?"

"I don't know, I'm not you..." Ye Shi said dumbfoundedly, scratched his head and gave an ambiguous answer, "For example... still looking for a new home is the long-term goal, but at the same time, we are also concerned about those who can't go to the new home. Are people in the world a little better?"

  When Wu Xiaoxiao heard this sentence, her eyes suddenly became a little scared, and she said in a low voice.

   "This is something that only a doctor can decide..."

"Then don't set such a lofty goal, just start from the small things around you, such as being a little bit better to the ordinary people around you, and using your knowledge to improve their living conditions is always possible, right? G points can be exchanged. It should be more than just food.”

   "Yes," Jiang Xuezhou looked dazed, and nodded thoughtfully, "I can bring back some tools that the drilling team can use."

  Ye Shi said patiently.

   "Not just tools, but more critical methods... Although the description is a bit abstract, your vision is much higher than the residents of No. 721, and you should still have a lot to help them."

  Li Xiang touched his chin, thinking to himself.

   "Are you talking about knowledge? But the academy has schools, and the people here have been learning since birth. I'm afraid they don't need us to do anything."

  Jiang Xuezhou shook his head.

"The schools in the academy only teach them what the academy needs, but they need very little of what they themselves need. We have to teach them the latter, just like the schools in the alliance, teaching them scientific methods and the logic of exploring the laws of operation of objective things. ... At least not let them become selfish guys like Su Qiming."

  Ye Shi: "Su Qiming?"

   Li Xiang said with a smile.

   "Ah, the one who had a dispute with you on the train, an E-level researcher, an exquisite egoist."

   Speaking of the second half of the sentence, he used a teasing tone.

  Ye Shi suddenly came back to his senses.

   "Oh... I forgot about this."

   But is that soft wording counted as a spat?

   Sure enough, the guys in the academy are not usually small-minded...

   Wu Xiaoxiao said hesitantly.

   “But we can’t take the kids’ time, they need to take the test.”

  Jiang Xuezhou touched his chin and nodded.

"I also think... so how about extracurricular tutoring? Only teach children aged 12-14 and youths aged 18-20. The former has just met the age limit for taking the exam, the pressure of the exam is not so heavy, and the latter basically has the opportunity Not much. If it can influence more people, maybe it can promote the spontaneous reform of the Science and Technology Committee.”

   Li Xiang's eyes lit up.

   "That's a great idea! I'm for it!"

   Seeing that both of them agreed, although Wu Xiaoxiao hesitated, she didn't refute anything.

   Seeing someone supporting him, Jiang Xuezhou's eyes brightened, and he clenched his fists on the table, continuing to speak enthusiastically.

   "We need a name for this organization...how about Student Union?"

  At first, Ye Shi happily watched them discussing there, but when he heard the name of the bird, he almost spit out the coffee in his mouth, coughed twice and said.

   "Let's call it a seminar...it sounds better."

  Because of playing this broken game, points were often deducted by that thing during bed checks, although he didn't know the use of deducting that thing.

  Jiang Xuezhou and Li Xiang looked at each other, but nodded without any objection.

   "I think so."

   "I don't care either... then this name is good."

   "Then I... also agree." Wu Xiaoxiao looked worried, but in the end she didn't say anything.

  The Science Committee did not restrict researchers from organizing the study of the survivors of the Science Committee, but this kind of thing never happened.

  She admitted that the story of the alliance sounded very attractive, and even faintly wanted to go there and have a look.

   However, some stories sound good, but if she really wants to make some changes, she doesn't know if this is true.

   At the end of the day.

  Senior Xuezhou is only a D-level researcher.

  Even if she is a research department with a bright future, and her mentor is a powerful person who is only one line away from A-level, compared to the entire academy, this power is still too small.

   What's more, this kind of thing may not be supported by her mentor.

  The second half of this meeting basically turned into a discussion on the details of the seminar and how to attract more researchers to participate.

  For this reason, they also discussed the specific policy of helping students of the right age to enter the college, and thus expand the influence of the seminar among the grassroots forces of the college.

  Ye Shi originally wanted to continue telling the story he just made up, but found that neither Jiang Xuezhou nor Li Xiang had lost interest in the second half of the story. Only Wu Xiaoxiao looked at him eagerly, looking forward to the continuation of the story.

  Unknowingly, the time has come to the evening.

   It wasn't until Ye Shi, who was standing in the entrance, came back home with Jiang Xuezhou, that he suddenly realized.

  He originally wanted to dig the walls of the academy, but he told stories all day long. As for the serious work, he completely left it behind, and made no progress at all.

   "Damn it, what a fool!"

   "Wocao?" Jiang Yuehan, who was peeking at the side of the entrance quietly, tilted her head.

   "Children, don't learn this." Ye Shi hurried up to cover her mouth, but Jiang Xuezhou grabbed her.

   "What are you trying to do to my sister?"

   "No, I—" Facing the murderous gaze, Ye Shi had a constipated expression, and he hesitated for a long time without explaining clearly.

  The little guy hiding behind the shoe cabinet smiled happily and made a mischievous face.

   "Giggle, wocao!"

  Ye Shi: "...@#%!"

  …

   When Ye Shi was caught and beaten on the head by Jiang Xuezhou and hid in the kitchen to take refuge, there was also a jubilant and lively scene on the Rou Rou moored in Xifan Port.

  The wharf of Xifan Port.

  In the vault of Rourou, one person and one bear are rolling in piles of gold coins.

  Lying in a large font on the floor covered with gold coins, with its tail in a backstroke position, it closed its eyes and talked in sleep.

   "Ooooooh, meaty, you know what! It's always been a dream of mine since I was a kid! To be able to swim in the vault's pool like Mike Duck!"

   "What is Mike Duck?"

   "Hey hey hey, haven't you seen Donald Duck?"

   "...Pfft, there is still a gap between our treasury and that guy."

   "It's not important! Just feel it!"

   Completely unable to keep up with the topic of the two, Sesame Paste stood aside admiringly with an aunt-like smile on his face, while Sisi sat at the table and dealt with the accounts meticulously.

  A total of 650 tons of goods have been completely sold out, with a total sales of 4.9 million silver coins.

   Subtracting the purchase price, manpower expenses, and other shipping costs and taxes, the profit of this trade has reached an astonishing 2 million silver coins!

  Part of the payment is paid through the electronic currency settlement system of the sticky body, and part of it is paid directly in dinars at an exchange rate of 1:5.

  Combining the exchange rate difference, the profit of his trading may be higher than the actual calculated amount.

   After all, in the main trade area of ​​the legion, the general exchange rate between dinars and silver coins is around 1:3.

  At this moment, Awei and Rourou had spread all the earned gold coins on the ground, saying that they wanted to experience a gold coin bath that is difficult to experience in reality.

   "...When I am old, I will exchange all the money into gold coins and hide them on a small island!" Tail, who was tired from playing, suddenly sighed and stretched his hand to the ceiling.

   "Can you tell me secretly where you plan to hide?" Rourou pricked up his ears and asked.

  Tail smiled, got up from a pile of gold coins, and sat cross-legged on the ground.

   "Oh! Do you also want the treasure of Black Tail, then go find it, it is at the end of the sea of ​​stars! Go, the wealth of the whole world is there!"

   This stalk is too old, Rourou rolled his eyes, and was stupid for not accompanying this guy.

  Actually, she is an easy-to-satisfy person, she has no special desire for money, and enjoys the process of taking risks with her partners more than the process of making money.

   In contrast, Sis may enjoy making money more, after all, she is always so serious.

   But Rourou was curious about why she would share this lucrative business on the forum.

  The furry bear paw picked up a gold coin, she looked at Sisi who was stretched and leaning on the chair, and asked curiously.

   "By the way, why put such a profitable route on the official website? Isn't it good to make a fortune in silence?"

  Sisi couldn't help smiling when he heard the words, and said casually.

   “It is possible to make a small fortune by using information gaps, but it is still difficult to make a big fortune.”

   "Huh?" Rourou tilted his head in confusion.

   Seeing her confused expression, Sisi thought for a moment and continued.

"This is actually the same as the listing of Baiyue Company. It is indeed feasible to save all the shares in your own hands. Moreover, with the current scale of Baiyue Company, there is really no need to share the profits with others. As long as you hold on to the existing cake Good. But if we want to go further than this, we must get the support of more people. Not only the support of our customers, but also the support of the majority of the residents of the alliance... and the fastest way to get their support is to Make them our shareholders."

  Although the NPC of the alliance does not have the GM authority that can be banned like the manager, it still has some authority.

  For example, they can really participate in the legislative work through the representative meeting, and they can participate in the selection of affairs personnel in local agencies and alliance agencies, etc. In other words, they are valuable.

   This is not about buying or anything.

   It's just that if Baiyue's profits are also shared by those NPCs, instead of just being shared among players, it will be safer for Baiyue.

   I think that even if those NPCs are for their own interests, they will consider the interests of Baiyue Company more without touching the principles, instead of singing against some issues.

  It is always a dangerous thing when an institution accumulates huge wealth and is stingy with sharing it with the many people who create it.

   What's more, the funds brought by the listing itself can also accelerate the overseas business expansion of Baiyue Company.

  Baiyue Strait has a huge primeval forest, and it is not enough to expand the business with the little savings in the hands of the players and the current limited profits.

  They need to make use of the savings temporarily unused by the residents of the alliance, and if necessary, they have to use the power of Ideal City to use the huge legacy left by the prosperous era.

  Managers have paved the way for them, including the earliest currency exchange agreements, and today's cohesive electronic payment, settlement systems, and more.

   "So... opening up new routes is also a way to make the pie bigger?" Sesame Paste asked thoughtfully, trying to understand the complicated mystery.

   "Exactly."

   Sisi nodded approvingly and continued.

"It's very difficult for us to make this pie big by ourselves, even if we buy a few more ships and travel a few more times. It's better to let other players who are interested in sailing participate, and use their strength to make the The whole market is getting bigger...not to mention that even without us, they will find out sooner or later, but we have accelerated the process."

  Although Xifan Port has a large population, it still belongs to the territory of the Weilante people. The situation is far more special than that of Jingalun Port.

  Under the iron-fisted governance of the Willant people, the locals don’t have any political power, and they don’t even have the freedom to eat. They can only be servants of the Willant colonists. Even if they want to make money from these people, they have to make the local people rich first.

   There is no point in selling goods to cattle.

  Currently there is only this route from the Eastern World to the Western World, but it will be different when other players from the alliance come here.

  When the players become active in the local area, they can even expand the branch of the White Bear Knights Bank here to help those newcomers who want to start a business solve their financial problems and provide shovels to those who want to pan for gold.

   This business is much more profitable than simply running a business.

  Tail also nodded his head in a serious manner, and said with a high air, "That's right, Rourou, we have to take a longer view! Only then can we buy a ship that is five light-years away!"

   Rourou couldn't help complaining: "That's just a big picture of the planner!"

  Tail cocked the corners of his mouth triumphantly: "It's so naive, fleshy, how do you know it's not true? After all, no one has been there to see it."

   "Is it called Planet Gaia... I really want to know what it looks like there." Looking at the vast ocean outside the porthole, Sesame Paste said with fascination.

  Tail: "Oh! Xiaoyu's hometown! There must be a lot of weird tentacles!"

   "Ahaha..." Sesame Paste smiled reluctantly.

   Then forget it.

   Although Xiaoyu is quite cute, but if it is the kind in the center of Qingquan City, it is somewhat mentally polluted...

  …

   The Rourou, bound for Xifan Port, is just an ordinary cargo ship that can no longer be ordinary.

  At this moment, neither the guys laughing and playing in the vault nor the drunk sailors realized that they had unknowingly planted a seed that hadn't existed in this land for two hundred years.

  The stevedores at the port looked at the sailors with envious eyes, or at the wine bottles in their hands.

   That is an imported product from the east of the mainland, and a bottle costs hundreds or thousands of Xilan coins, which may be more expensive than myself working in the port.

  Obviously, some of the sailors were from the Borneo province, and they couldn't understand why those guys were treated the same as them, or even suffered less than them, but their treatment was so different.

   Sure enough, those hateful Moon Clan people stole their pockets...

In the Silver Moon Church in the port area, Melgio was shutting himself in the attic and thinking about the name of the newly established newspaper. The religiously connotative name of "Newspaper" was written on the paper.

  Originally this newspaper was also intended to spread the beliefs of the Silver Moon Sect.

  However, out of concern for the feelings of the local people, he thought about it for a while, and then removed the word "month" and changed it to "Silver Gospel".

  Although it seemed inappropriate to serialize entertaining novels in such a religious newspaper, the book was handed to him by the incarnation of Goddess Silver Moon walking in the mortal world after all, so it was not unrelated.

  Compared to the Spirit of the Sand Sea, the Silver Moon Sect is itself a sect that has undergone secularization and improvement. It is not so stubborn in dogma, and it is also open to new things.

   Moreover, he has carefully read the old books from Rourou. Relatively speaking, the story of "Boll the Awakened" may be the most resonant to the locals, and it is more suitable for illiterate people to pass on word of mouth.

   Just as the new wind blowing towards the wasteland became more violent, the situation in the southern sea area finally changed after a long period of silence.

  Under the pressure of the battleship "Haiya", Shazhou Island, which had fallen to the Northern Federation, sparked an uprising with the "Remote Garrison Act" signed by the new cabinet.

  The guards on the island quickly dispatched, first suppressing the local military camp, and then occupying the Governor's Mansion, declaring Chalas's new cabinet as an "illegal institution", and announcing that Shazhou Island was separated from the Northern Federation in the name of the Declaration of Defense.

  Although it sounds weird, there are only 70,000 people on Shazhou Island after all.

  The soldiers on the entire island add up to less than a company, but the boys in the Security Bureau have a battalion instead.

In addition, the stability of the Chalas authorities was entirely maintained by the battleship, and the legitimacy itself was a question mark. The soldiers couldn't raise their will to resist, and after firing a few shots, they **** their officers. So much so that this bizarre uprising ended without shedding a drop of blood.

  The boys who booed were actually dumbfounded. They were dissatisfied with Charas and looked down on Charas' puppets, but they really didn't think about what to do to drive that guy away.

   What's even more weird is that when they occupied the Governor's Mansion, the Governor sitting in the Governor's Mansion simply took off his hat and threw it to them with a sigh of relief. He said "you won" and resigned on the spot.

  They did what everyone expected, but no one knew what to do after that...

   But one thing is certain, it is clear that Charas will not tolerate this betrayal, and neither will the Radicals standing behind him.

  They need to use the blood of traitors to deter other people who are about to move.

   Not to mention they've done it once before—

   Ordered the battleship Haiya to fire at Anle Island.

  The new authorities of Shazhou Island obviously realized that Chalas would definitely respond, so they hurriedly sent a telegram of surrender to the South China Sea Alliance.

  Behind the South China Sea Alliance is the Alliance, and behind the Alliance is the Cohesion Community. This big tree is much easier to take advantage of than the Northern Federation, and there are not so many outrageous requirements.

  After receiving the telegram from Shazhou Island, the South China Sea Alliance authorities really attached great importance to it, especially when they found that a destroyer was covering another landing ship converted from a cargo ship and set off from the North Island, they became even more vigilant.

   This looks like a bait. It is impossible for Charas to predict that they will dispatch. The battleship may have been silently ambushing somewhere in the sea.

  However, this is not ruled out as an opportunity.

  In order to gain full confidence, Commander Li Minghui immediately called Chip Harbor while dispatching the fleet, hoping to obtain reinforcements from the alliance.

   Fang Chang received the telegram without hesitation, and immediately acted after asking the governor appointed by the manager for instructions.

  The two sides have already had substantive military friction, and there is no need to hide anything. What's more, the collusion between the Northern Federation and the Torch Party is already a matter on the bright side, and at most it has not pierced the window paper.

  The guy squatting in the landing craft might be a torch-operating mutant!

   This is not the first time!

  Two H-10 "Overlord" transport planes stationed at the military base on the north side of Chip Harbor rushed into the air, carrying two companies of the Burning Corps and flew towards Shazhou Island.

  At the same time, two L-10 "Thunder" forward-swept wing vertical take-off and landing fighters were dispatched.

  A full load of ammunition hangs under the steel wings, and the pilots of the goblin corps are also ready.

  The calm sea is brewing with the sound of rolling tides, and invisible waves are churning up and down on the sea.

  The war is about to start!
