This Game Is Too Realistic

Greenhouse ruins.

One floor above ground.

The place where players fought bloody battles has now become a lush botanical garden. Soilless cultivation boxes are filled with corn, stacked like shipping containers, arranged in layers.

The situation here at that time was really tragic.

The first rower who entered was only left with a VM and was brought back. The second wave of people who entered were almost wiped out. It was not until Brother Mole developed the "shield wall play" that the game was finally broken.

But then everyone’s equipment was upgraded, and it became much easier to brush this book.

Lao Bai, who was wearing heavy armor, carried it in front, and the players in the back row directly took the submachine gun and fired a shuttle 9.

Hit someone?

what is the relationship.

9 pistol bullets cannot penetrate the steel plate anyway, leaving at most a few holes in the steel plate.

This large-caliber low-velocity bullet is miraculous against unarmored insect-based alien species.

Originally, their stomachs were filled with water and glue, and 7 might just make a hole in them, but if you change it to 9, it can explode directly.

After the first layer was opened, Chu Guang immediately issued a task and asked players to come and plant corn.

Now three months have passed, adding up to more than ninety days, and the green poles have been hung with golden leaves wrapped in leaves.

Looking at the mature corn field in front of him, Chu Guang nodded approvingly with a fatherly smile on his face.

"Well done!"

The seeds provided by the shelter have been genetically modified and grow relatively quickly.

In reality, even early-maturing varieties of corn take a hundred days to mature, but here ninety days is almost enough.

correct.

I almost forgot about the real thing.

Sensing the expectant eyes behind him, Chu Guang came to his senses, calmly raised his index finger, stretched out his hand and scratched the VM.

soon.

The task settlement list was sent to Makabazi's VM.

[Task: Harvest Day (Complete)]

[Reward: 1,000 silver coins, 500 contribution points, 2,000 regional reputation points. 】

"Fuck! Awesome!"

“Four-digit reward!!!”

Looking at the series of rewards that emerged, Makabazi burst into tears with excitement.

Not to mention the 500-point contribution.

Faction contribution is a good thing at any time, whether it is buying equipment, completing tasks, or purchasing industries, it is all linked to this thing.

The only regret is that the regional reputation is given to the outpost, not the permanent farm.

His reputation at Jiujiu Farm has now reached "Friendly", and he is still just shy of crossing the 10,000 threshold to become respected.

Just when Brother Maka was getting excited, a line of text that popped up on the VM made him almost faint from happiness.

[Congratulations to player "Makabazi" for becoming the first player to harvest corn. 】

[Please choose whether to announce it to the whole server: Yes/No]

Seeing the surprise that suddenly popped up, Makabazi shouted almost reflexively.

"Yes! Yes!"

Although Chu Guang wanted to remind this guy, he didn't need to shout out. He just reached out and clicked on the VM screen.

But seeing how excited the little player was, Chu Guang didn't let him down.

It’s been three months.

It’s really not easy to persevere.

From sowing to final harvest, each step has a corresponding task, and a series of tasks constitutes an entire task chain.

Because the automated watering and harvesting systems at the greenhouse site have been damaged, many tasks that could have been done by machines now need to be done manually.

This includes watering and fertilizing.

Although these tasks also have rewards, they are still a bit boring compared to hunting and picking up garbage.

The three-month-long mission cycle can persist until the crops mature. This Makabazi man is also a strange person.

At least in Chu Guang's mind, it was comparable to that fishing guy who would sit by the lake every day no matter how windy or snowy he was!

[Server-wide announcement: Player "Makabazi" successfully harvested the first batch of corn. 】

Looking at the window that appeared on the VM, Makabazi was so excited that he wanted to roll in the cornfield.

If the manager hadn't been around, he might have already done so.

"Hahahaha! I also have the first kill in the entire server!!"

Chu Guang looked at the young player with a smile.

"Can I leave the harvesting work to you?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Manager!"

Makabazi patted his chest and continued talking with great joy.

"I can even help you transport it to the granary!"

Chu Guang said.

"That's not necessary. The workload is too much. I will arrange people to help you."

Withdrawing his gaze from Makabazi, Chu Guang continued to look at the cornfield in front of him, and couldn't help but reveal a touch of joy on his face.

Is this what a good harvest feels like?

really not bad.

…

After assigning a new task to Brother Maka, Chu Guang immediately left the greenhouse ruins, returned to the outpost, found Guo Ma, and handed over the harvest work.

With so many crops, Makabazi alone may not be able to finish them all until he is exhausted.

What's more, harvesting is not just about pulling the corn off the pole, but also after removing the seeds, drying it, and storing it in storage.

Doing these tasks in the ruins might be more troublesome than sowing seeds.

There are not many tower-type soilless cultivation boxes on the first floor, and the actual planting area is slightly smaller than that of other floors, but it still has an actual planting area of ​​nearly fifty acres.

Based on a rough estimate based on experience in planting area and density, the yield is around 25 tons, with an error within two tons.

Even with inexperienced planting and management experience and insufficient fertilization, the yield per mu was still nearly 500 kilograms.

In addition to the first level, the greenhouse site has other levels.

Not counting the reactor on the ninth floor and the Devil Moth's nest on the tenth floor, the five above-ground floors and eight underground floors add up to a total of thirteen floors. The theoretical planting area can reach 870 acres!

So far, the five floors above ground and the four underground floors have been developed into farmland.

Half of it is planted to potatoes and half to corn, which adds up to 600 acres.

These production capacities will be gradually released in the next month, and the total output is estimated to reach 300~400 tons.

Together with other food sources such as hunting and breeding, it is enough to feed 3,000 people for a year!

Of course, the actual food consumption of players cannot simply be calculated based on a population.

Especially for awakened people, not only do their physical fitness and metabolic levels far exceed those of ordinary people, but their appetite is also close to two to three times that of ordinary people.

Even Chu Guang himself felt it.

At the beginning, he could eat two meals from one can, but now he can't wait to open two cans in one meal.

In a sense, this can also be regarded as a kind of energy conservation?

If the actual consumption rate of food is followed, these 300 to 400 tons of grain may only be enough for less than half a year.

However, even this is enough.

Thirty thousand acres of wasteland were reclaimed. Even if the production efficiency in the first year was only half of that of the greenhouse ruins, the food produced would be enough for him to use for several versions.

The part above the B4 floor of the greenhouse site is used for farming.

As for B5 to B9, Chu Guang did not plant all crops, but planned to keep "gu" and harvest them every few months, leaving players to repeatedly farm devil moths.

As for the spiritual leaves, you can cut them in half and leave the other half.

After one round of mowing, open all the gates from B5 to B9 and let the moths in to lay their young.

In this way, assembly line-like harvesting can be achieved.

When the ten thousand acres of fertile farmland on the north side of Linghu Lake are reclaimed in the future, it will be no problem to use the entire greenhouse to raise devil moths!

Whether it's spirit leaves or devil's thread, they are both rare items in the wasteland. He is probably the only one within a hundred miles that can produce these two things stably.

…

"What the hell?! Planting corn can also make announcements for the whole server?"

"A shady story! A complete shady story!"

"Damn it, Boss Crow doesn't care, even Makabazi gave his soul and butt to planning?"

"Hey! If I had known it, I would have found a piece of land and sown the seeds!"

"But if you think about it from another angle, the identity of the son of the professional player version of life has been confirmed. Planting corn can be announced to the whole server, so it is reasonable to announce it once for potatoes, right?"

"!!!"

The west side of Changjiang Farm.

The little players carrying pickaxes and shovels working on the wasteland were chattering and making noise, and not far away there was a plowing tractor dragging a rake with a clanging sound.

Looking back and forgetting to glance at the almost invisible wall, Baiyin's father panted and threw away the rake in his hand, sitting next to the field ridge and grinning.

"When the hell do you have to do this?"

The Silver Sword waved the hoe wordlessly and replied without raising his head.

"It depends on how many activity points you want to get."

Bai Yin’s father: “Damn it! Isn’t there even an upper limit for this activity??”

Silver Sword: "No."

Bai Yin’s father: “???”

Why shouldn't this be taken to the sky? !

As we all know, in general games, when doing activities, except that there is no upper limit for krypton gold, other rewards and points that can be obtained will have a upper limit.

This is mainly to prevent players from exaggerating the data.

But this game doesn’t seem to have this tradition.

As long as you want, you can keep doing it until the character is exhausted or until the "anti-addiction mechanism" is triggered and the character is physically disconnected.

Silver Hand, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but complain: "By the way, aren't you a physique type? Why are you working slower than the two of us?"

Bai Yin's father rolled his eyes: "Who knows! This game's physical attribute only adds debuff resistance and recovery speed, and has nothing to do with endurance! And you two, didn't you agree that one would choose strength and the other would choose agility? Why did you choose two powers?!"

"You have the nerve to accuse us!"

"Exactly! Didn't you say you chose the intelligence department?"

Seeing his two friends glaring at him, Baiyin's father coughed awkwardly and said with a smile.

"I heard that this game has quite a lot of content. It has high physical fitness and fast recovery speed. If you have online dating in the future...you know."

Silver Hand and Silver Sword looked at each other.

I understand.

but……

"I think the idea is a bit redundant."

"Indeed, I think so too."

"Gan! What do you two mean?"

Silver Sword shrugged.

"It's nothing, I just think it's a bit difficult to date online with your broken ID."

Silver Hand nodded.

"+1, no one will even talk to you, a bastard like you."

Bai Yin’s father: “%￥#@!”

…

While the newbies were working in the fields, Boulder City, located on the edge of the Third Ring Road, welcomed a group of special guests.

"Is this Boulder City?"

"This wall is built like a dam..."

"Holy shit... how much concrete does this take?"

"have no idea……"

Concrete walls as high as 20 stories high.

Including the steel structure inside, the consumption of cement and steel is probably astronomical.

On the way down from the elevated road, the eyes of Lao Bai, Ye Shi, and Fang Feng were glued to this wall and couldn't move away.

Since he had been surprised once before, Fang Chang's expression was quite calm and he coughed slightly.

"Just be normal."

Ye Shi swallowed and looked away from the giant wall.

"I think I'm normal, but this game is abnormal!"

Kuang Feng, who was standing aside, also nodded.

"+1."

Although it is a bit idealistic to say this, since this huge wall can be built, there is no reason why it should be blocked by nibblers.

This doesn't make any sense.

Unless the wall fell from the sky.

"These rubes."

Seeing how ignorant these people were, the mercenary walking next to the team laughed in a low voice, but was glared at by the mercenary leader.

"Shut up."

When the boss spoke, the mercenary immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to speak again.

The mercenary leader withdrew his gaze from his subordinates and glanced in the direction of those people. Seeing that they did not notice them, he felt relieved a little.

These people are very powerful.

Whether it's the man with the bow on his back or the man with the machine gun on his back.

Although this sounds a bit outrageous, his intuition told him that these two people might be awakened!

He didn't want to mess with the forces that could keep Death Claws as pets.

The goods are about to be delivered, and it would not be good for anyone if we cause trouble at this time.

Got off the elevated road.

Not far ahead is the Far Wind Hotel and the slum directly opposite the door.

As the group of people walked toward the door, many people were looking at them, especially at the goods carried on the backs of the two-headed oxen.

When the children sitting at the door of the slum saw it, they seemed to see something. They whispered to each other in a low voice and quickly ran back to the slum.

After a while, several men with skulls tattooed on their faces walked out of the slum.

Seeing these people, Xu Shun calmly put his hands on his waist. Fang Chang and Lao Bai exchanged glances and put their hands on their weapons in unison.

Instead of showing any fear on the faces of several players, there was a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Is this going to trigger a plot?

Do it quickly!

Reading the tense atmosphere in the air, Shuyu's heart was already in his throat.

However, thinking that he represented Vault 404, he still tried hard not to show a nervous expression on his face.

"Tommy, where did you get so many good things?" The bald man with a dagger tattooed on his face who was walking at the front cast a playful look at the mercenary leader.

The mercenary leader's face tightened and he said expressionlessly.

"This is not my thing, but I advise you not to take advantage of these goods unless you think it's not enough trouble."

"Ha, who is your employer?"

Before the mercenary leader could answer, a voice floated out from the team.

"Liszt."

Walking out of the team, Qian Lai looked at the bald man with a dagger tattooed on his face and continued.

"Any questions?"

Upon hearing Liszt's name, the bald man's face changed slightly, and his joking expression softened a little.

"Of course, no problem. Actually, I just want to ask...there are so many herbs, do you need help selling them? We can help."

Qian Lai said impatiently.

"There are 100 chips per kilogram. If you can buy them all, I can give you a 10% discount."

Buying them all would cost tens of thousands of chips.

but……

If you can eat this batch and refine it into spiritual water, it may not be a problem to double or triple it.

The bald man looked a little embarrassed and said in a deep voice.

"...I have to ask my boss about this."

Qian Lai said concisely and concisely.

"I can wait until before eight tonight, you know how to contact me."

After getting frustrated, the minions returned to the slums.

Staring at their backs, Shuyu looked at Qian Lai and asked.

"they are?"

"The Dagger Gang, sometimes they tattoo daggers on their faces, sometimes on their arms, don't worry, you don't have to deal with these people."

Qian Lai then looked at Tommy's mercenary leader and urged, "Let's go. If you stay here too long, other flies will fly over."

The group continued on the road and lined up at the city gate for inspection.

The militiamen responsible for the inspection had surprised expressions on their faces when they saw the cargo on the back of the cow.

"Another shipment? Where did you get it from?"

He remembered the man in front of him. He seemed to be the same guy a week ago.

Qian Lai opened his eyes and lied: "The plantation in the south, the survivors there have a lot of inventory."

The militiaman obviously didn't believe his nonsense, but he didn't say anything, just a hint.

"I'm afraid I have to pay a lot of tax on this thing."

"Of course, we are law-abiding citizens."

With a friendly smile on his face, Qian Lai quietly stuffed a bag of chips into their hands just like the last time he came.

The militiaman who collected the money opened the bag and took a look. He smiled knowingly, took two out and stuffed them into his pocket, and then walked towards the table at the door.

"It's all vegetables."

The officer in charge of registration glanced at the bag of chips placed on the table and made two random entries in the book.

"Let them in."

Shuyu glanced at Qian Lai in slight surprise.

Is this enough?

Noticing his gaze, Qian Lai smiled and spoke softly.

"There is no need to pay taxes on food, which will save money...so you see, it is not without cost for us."

Shuyu asked.

"You don't need to check if you pay?"

Qian Lai thought for a while and said.

"Not necessarily. It depends on the situation and the person. If you want to send contraband in, I'm afraid it's still a bit difficult."

Shuyu nodded thoughtfully.

Although it is not that he has never done business, he always feels that the situation here is much more complicated than in his hometown...

Pay the city entry tax.

The group entered the city successfully.

According to the contract, the mercenaries sent them to the Kurdistan area, and then paid their wages at Qianlai's place.

The warehouse Liszt rented was not far from the entrance of the warehouse area. There was still some space inside, which was more than enough to store a ton of goods.

After several people unloaded the goods together, Qian Lai asked the guard with a bandage on his arm to move the two-headed cow to the shed at the entrance of the reservoir area and return it. Then he looked at Shuyu and others who were traveling with him, and said with a smile. .

"If you don't want to rent a warehouse, you can store the goods with us. There aren't many things anyway."

Shuyu shook his head and declined politely.

"No, we are planning to rent a storefront."

Qian Lai said politely.

"Are you in such a hurry? Boulder City is very big. You can take a look around and choose a better place."

Shuyu shook his head.

"The manager just asks me to find a place near the warehouse."

The reservoir area of ​​Boulder City is very close to the city gate. Across the street is the trading station, and behind it is the market where locals buy things. The transportation is relatively convenient.

The office is just for convenience. There is no need to open it in a particularly prosperous place. It can even be smaller. The monthly rent should be kept below a thousand chips.

In the future, if conditions permit, they will buy one.

This was what the manager had told him before he set off.

Qian Lai said nothing more, but still enthusiastically took them outside the reservoir area and found a place to rent a house.

There are many vacant houses here, and the rent is not expensive. For a 120-square-meter storefront, you only need to pay 800 chips a month, which is only 20 chips a day on average.

If they add 200 chips, the landlord said that they can rent the two empty rooms upstairs to them together.

And if you want to buy it, not only will such a house cost nearly 300,000 chips, but you will also have to pay a management fee and local tax of 50 chips every month.

Looking at the jumping subtitles on the VM, Ye Shi counted with his fingers and looked at Fang Chang next to him in confusion.

"There are 1,666 chips per square meter. Is this cheap or expensive?"

Fang Chang thought for a while and said.

"It's cheap based on the rent-to-sale ratio, but a bit expensive based on commodity prices and income. I remember that in the textile factory in the nearby industrial zone, two meals of nutritional cream were given, and the daily salary seemed to be 3 to 4 chips?"

Calculated, the monthly salary is only 90 to 120 yuan, which is not even enough to buy a rifle.

If it is a child laborer, most factories will only give one chip a day, and some will just pay for the food, and the wages will be paid once a week, or they will be paid with the goods produced.

Since the smallest unit is one chip, the hourly wage of locals cannot even be calculated.

But relatively, the salary of engineers will be higher, which is basically more than 10 times that of ordinary workers. If the work location is outside the city or even in other nearby survivor settlements, it is more likely to double the original salary.

Some technicians with scarce skills can even earn three-digit daily wages.

However, these giant pandas usually do not go outside the city at all. They usually live in high-end apartments close to the inner city. Some even simply move into the inner city with a good environment.

As for mercenaries?

Most of them only make what they spend today, and there is no point in discussing their income.

The NPCs are still bargaining over the rent.

Shuyu gave full play to his bargaining skills and has reduced the rent to 900 yuan a month.

This price has already touched the landlord's bottom line, but the houses here are not as good as those in bustling neighborhoods, and it is indeed difficult to rent. He can only be patient and rubbish with the people in front of him.

Ye Shi calculated for a long time and suddenly raised his head.

"Damn, I should have saved up my chips if I had known earlier!"

Lao Bai gave him a strange look.

"What are you doing saving that stuff?"

"Buy a set!" Ye Shi said with eyes shining, "When the new map is fully opened, someone will come, right? We can rent it to them! Isn't this much more fun than exchanging silver coins directly?"

Rent it to Teng Teng!

10,000 silver coins a month!

Rich woman Teng Teng can definitely afford it!

Kuangfeng: "..."

Fang Chang said speechlessly: "Do you have 10 chips in total?"

Ye Shi: "Well, that's true."

Lao Bai: "Besides, what's the point of buying this place? It's so far away from the resurrection point. It's better to build one next to the base."

"But having said that, there should be stores in Boulder City, right?" Kuangfeng, who was standing on the street, glanced around, "Have you investigated the prices of this type of equipment?"

"A Drone X-2 assault rifle costs 150 chips. It looks like it is an imitation of the G9 assault rifle. The iron tube rifle is cheaper. It feels like it is sold by weight."

Kuangfeng then asked: "Where is the bionic prosthetic body?"

Fang Chang was slightly stunned.

"This...I haven't seen it. I've visited several weapons stores and I haven't seen it, but they do sell that kind of exoskeleton."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the three people's faces instantly became excited.

"What the hell, exoskeleton?!"

"you sure?"

"Stop beeping and take us there quickly!"

"What's the point of going there? Do you have money to buy it?"

Looking at his teammates with bright eyes, Fang Chang sighed helplessly.

"...Forget it, you'll find out when you go."

Ye Shi had already carried the package on the ground on his back and said with a smile.

"Bring these with you! Maybe you can sell them for some money!"

Fang Chang said speechlessly.

"If you sell it, it's someone else's bargaining chip, right..."

Ye Shi: "It doesn't matter! We agreed before we set off that half of the chips sold are ours!"

Fang Chang was stunned for a moment.

And this thing?

But from the looks of the three teammates, it didn't look like they were joking.

The boss who was haggling over the price suddenly panicked when he saw these country bumpkins picking up the packages on the ground and thought they were not going to rent anymore. He shouted quickly.

"800! 800 is no problem! But you have to pay three months' rent at once, and you have to pay another month's deposit! This is already the lowest price, and it's impossible to find anything cheaper than this!"

Without missing this opportunity, Shuyu said immediately.

"make a deal!"

Qian Lai, who was standing next to him, looked at the man in front of him and was slightly stunned.

Good guy.

Picking up two floors for nothing...

Maybe this guy is a talent.
