This Game Is Too Realistic

Queen of the Night isn't the only bar in Boulder.

Just when Robbo was dreaming about dominating the night in Boulder City, the Pirate Bay Tavern on another street was also cheering for the good stuff from the northern suburbs.

"Spirit water?! Damn it, where did you get so many good things in this winter?"

The man sitting in front of the bar looked at the bottles and cans on the shelves with an expression of envy and longing on his face.

His name is Ant, the leader of the Red Rocket Mercenary Group. He has about forty or fifty people under his command, including six awakened ones including himself.

If one had such strength outside of Boulder City, not to mention being a local emperor, it would be more than enough to be a local rich man like Old Leech.

But here, he is just a mercenary leader.

There are too many situations similar to his, and no one will deliberately remember the name of a certain mercenary group and how many people they have.

Because this is meaningless, maybe they will be gone tomorrow, or they may have changed their vests and started doing something else.

The bartender standing in front of the bar didn't seem to hear his question at all. He just wiped the glass calmly and said in an unhurried voice.

"200 chips."

Ant's eyes widened and he shouted.

"Two hundred chips?! Just that little 200ml bottle? Are you crazy about money?!"

The bartender glanced at him, his expression unchanged.

"This is good stuff that has not been diluted. It takes at least one kilogram of spiritual leaves to extract 200 ml of essence. You shouldn't be stupid enough to swallow this bottle in one gulp."

It is relatively safe if the intake is less than 20 ml. Many mercenaries will mix it into wine or directly dilute it with water.

Generally, 20 ml of concentrated spirit water mixed with 200 ml of purified water can make a bottle of spirit water with the best effect, which can provide two hours of fearless time.

These two hours are critical.

After all, most battles would be over within half an hour, and two hours of good condition was enough to help them a lot.

I didn’t expect that such good undiluted stuff is sold here.

A trace of surprise appeared on Ant's face.

If it is one chip per milliliter, the price is indeed not outrageous, especially in winter when it is difficult to obtain spirit leaves in large quantities.

"Give me 5 bottles!"

The bartender turned around skillfully, took down 5 bottles from the shelf and placed them on the table.

"I charge you 1,000."

Without saying a word, Ant slapped a bag of chips on the table.

"It's all here... Damn, this money is in your pockets before I even warm it up. You have to introduce me to some good jobs!"

"Winter is over, do you still have to worry about surviving?"

The bartender smiled lightly, opened the bag and looked at it, then put the bag of chips into the drawer under the counter.

After thinking for a while, he continued.

"There is going to be a fight over there in Honghe Town. I heard that the price offered is not bad. A six-month contract is 300 red and blue tickets. Whether it is a man or a woman transporting it to the south, you can make money. If you can't find a market, you can't Can you send it to me, are you interested?"

"Is there any business nearby?" Ant took the spirit water on the table and lit a cigarette for himself. "Six months is too long. At the beginning of the year, I just wanted to do a part-time job."

If it's two to three weeks if it's quick, two months if it's late, the company's caravan will be here.

This year he plans to go to Yunjian Province to try his luck.

Not only to make money, but also to replace myself and the brothers in the group with bionic prosthetics and get two more reliable pieces of equipment.

I heard that there was a fierce battle with mutants in Yunjian Province. If I could hang out there for two years, I might be able to return home and retire in glory.

No one can be a mercenary for a lifetime.

Neither can the Awakened.

Looking at the man sitting in front of the bar, the bartender said thoughtfully.

“Then we’ll just have to wait for the wave.”

Ant's eyebrows raised.

"Will there be one this year?"

"I don't know, but the probability is very high," the bartender shrugged and continued, "After staying through the whole winter, not only animals need to forage, but also those rotting things need something to chew on. There was such a heavy rain last month Snow, if nothing happens when spring comes, I will feel strange."

wave.

Ant licked the corners of his mouth, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes.

This is a great opportunity!

Whenever a "wave" appears, the masters of Boulder City will throw out a lot of chips and mobilize temporary workers to the front line.

Mercenaries who have experienced hundreds of battles like them will not die in the mouths of the aliens as easily as those cannon fodders.

Not only that, they can also take the opportunity to make a fortune!

This money is better than the caravan's money. After all, the risk factor of fighting alien species on a frontal battlefield is much smaller than the probability of being shot coldly when fighting predators.

"Give me ten more bottles!"

Ant was ready for a big fight.

If the wave comes this year.

The price of such scarce supplies will definitely increase, so it’s always a good idea to take advantage of the current “discount” to stock up on more.

A cheerful smile appeared on the bartender's face, he calmly accepted the chips he handed over, and then took 10 bottles of spirit water and put them on the table.

"I'm always good at judging people."

"You look like someone who can make a fortune!"

…

[Task: Open up the market]

[Content: The products of Tengteng House are becoming popular in the inner city of Boulder City. In order to enrich the spiritual life of the people in the wasteland, we need to develop more sinking products that can be consumed by the general public. This can not only bring us foreign exchange, but also reduce our industrial costs...]

【award:……】

[Publisher: Xia Yan]

Chemical plant in the new industrial zone.

Many players have found this task in the taskbar.

Although it took me a long time to talk about it, the meaning is actually very easy to understand——

‘Vault 404 needs more polyamide to make socks of various colors and translucencies, please go ahead and produce them. ’

However, the focus is not the content of the task, or even the generous rewards offered by the task, but the publisher of the task.

This name...

Isn't it really a bug?

"Holy crap? Boss Xia still has this hobby?!"

At a glance, he noticed something unusual in the task panel. The little player standing next to the production line shouted out in surprise as if he had discovered an Easter egg in the game.

But it soon became apparent that things were not that simple.

"Wait a minute, why does the tone of this task description sound so manager-like?"

"Indeed, Boss Xia never talks too much when issuing tasks."

"!!! Holy shit, why does it feel more exciting?!"

"Whatever, brothers, just do it and it's over, Auli is here!"

"Oke Oke!"

"AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaaaaah, black silk conquers the wasteland!!"

"If you don't understand, just ask, are you planning to put it on your head?"

The raw materials for producing polyamide can basically be found in NPC warehouses. If you can't find them, you can entrust the warehouse manager to place an order, or directly post on the forum for help.

The number of players who have made reservations is increasing, and there are more and more people watching the excitement. Occasionally, there will always be a few big bosses who pass by with special punishments.

Although the production conditions are backward and the production methods are quite retro, a group of small players with backgrounds in the chemical industry are still working enthusiastically. Everyone expresses their opinions and explores production methods that are more suitable for the wasteland.

Although the chemical industry is seriously saturated in reality, in this game, they are all scarce talents, and they are bosses in the eyes of players and wastelanders.

Whether you are a professional player in life or a professional player in combat, you have to admit it.

When it comes to cooking and making a nest, I'm fine with that.

But this, I may not be able to do it for me.

In fact, it is not just the chemical plant that received the mission, the "wealth myth" of the Cow Horse Team and the Tengteng House has stimulated every player who has read the guide post and even cloud players.

Endless ideas emerge one after another on the forum, and are brought into the game by a group of players with extremely strong hands-on skills.

Such as mosquitoes.

This guy never rests.

Especially after his "Anti-Crack Claw Crab Mine" was criticized on the forum, this guy learned from the experience and decided to make something useful.

Not to brag, he actually did it.

It is a detachable steel plate specially made for the KV-1 exoskeleton, which can perfectly protect against bullets fired into the chest.

Among various bulletproof materials, steel plate is always the most cost-effective choice. The only disadvantage is that it is heavy, and the sputtered shrapnel may injure the soldier's jaw and wrist.

However, for exoskeletons, this is not a problem at all. With a little cleverness in the design, most of the load can be distributed to the skeleton frame. The problem of shrapnel sputtering can also be solved by designing a collar.

This kind of "hard individual armor" may not be that significant in the war of the 21st century, but it does work wonders in a wasteland dominated by street fighting.

Especially when dealing with predators, no one can predict which direction the attack will come from, let alone what equipment the opponent has in hand.

Many mercenaries will weld steel plates to their KV-1s, but generally there is no standard and they are completely based on their own experience.

Maybe this kind of standardized detachable parts will really sell out?

It's not just mosquitoes.

The entire industrial area is trying to find ways to harvest the wool of the "new map".

Chu Guang was both pleased and grateful for this.

What is gratifying is that these young players are getting better and better at understanding the version, and they can save themselves a lot of micro-management and focus more on macro decisions.

Fortunately, the land reclamation work has come to an end in the past two days. He can end the expansion pack calmly, settle mission rewards for those hard-working young players, and then arrange the next step of spring plowing.

Otherwise, everyone will go to gather wool from their neighbors, and no one will be able to plant any crops in this land...

…

"Oh my god, I'm finally back!!!"

The north entrance of Changjiang Farm.

A caravan full of goods stopped at the unloading point at the door. Qian Duo found Liszt and handed the account book to his boss, while Liszt found Luca and began to calculate the value of these materials and discuss what to use for settlement.

Looking at the cultivated field to the west, the mole escaped in the canyon who had just taken a breath, and opened his mouth in surprise on the spot.

"...Here I go, the map has been updated?!"

He has only been out for half a month.

It turned out to be like this when I came back!

Not only the 10,000 acres of cultivated fields, but also the bright yellow corn cobs lying in the open space to dry at the north gate.

Good guy.

A rough calculation of this corn would amount to dozens of tons at least!

This is so surprising!

Just as he was coming out of the granary, Makabazi saw Brother Mole, who looked like a refugee, with the same surprised expression on his face.

"What the hell, Mole?! Are you running away?"

The Canyon Mole rolled his eyes.

"Go away, I didn't do this just to explore the map for you."

Makabazi looked at him strangely and continued to ask.

"Why did it take you so long to go there? I remember that half a week at most is enough."

Fang Chang, that dog Ou Huang, all went to Boulder City for the second time!

A round trip of two weeks is too slow!

The fugitive mole in the canyon said helplessly: "The original plan was to come back in a week, but who knows what happened on the way? It originally had to take another two or three days to arrive. This is already relatively fast!"

Makabazi said in surprise: "What happened to you? Deathclaw?"

Mole on the run in the canyon: "No, what we encountered is much more exciting than the alien species. There's already a fight over there in Red River Town."

Macabazi: "A fight started?! With whom?"

"Who else can we fight with? The only troublemakers in the entire River Valley Province are those people. Before leaving, I heard from the NPC of the caravan that two thousand-man teams from the Snake Clan have blocked the Red River Town Pass. As for the passages to the north and west, it is said that the third thousand-man team is on the way and plans to block the east road as well."

"Of course, Honghe Town didn't show any weakness. Several mine owners and trading house bosses joined forces to hire more than 20 mercenary groups and trained a large number of soldiers, claiming to be an army of ten thousand people... But in fact, I feel Not even half of it.”

"For safety reasons, we had to take a detour to the south... to a settlement called Garbage City, and then turn back to the northwest... like this."

The mole made a "v" sign in the air with his index finger, and their journey back was roughly like this on the map.

But compared to his itinerary, Makabazi was obviously more curious about another thing.

"Wait! Where is the Garbage City?"

Is it a hidden map? !

"Uh, what should I say? A medium-sized survivor stronghold. I'll draw it on the forum later. Anyway, it feels much smaller than Boulder City, and the distance from there to here is further than Red River Town."

Having said this, Mole chuckled.

"This is also what surprised me the most. I didn't expect that the map of this game is larger than I thought before! Some of the survivor strongholds in the background board have actually been installed."

"I'm making a bold assumption. Maybe the maps such as Ideal City on the background board have been updated in the game a long time ago, but some of the content has not been completed, so the planning has not been released with much fanfare."

If this hypothesis is correct, if you keep walking eastward from here, you might actually be able to reach the legendary ideal city.

However, there is another problem: there is no way to save data along the way, and there is no V signal, and the place is unfamiliar, so it is somewhat fanciful to walk there on two legs.

Listening to the mole telling stories about distant places, Makabazi looked envious.

At this moment, the manager in power armor walked over from the north gate of Jiujiu Farm.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Looking at the mole who had transformed into a refugee, Chu Guang added another sentence after finishing his task.

"Go back and take a shower."

The taste is too great!

Brother Mole scratched his head in embarrassment, probably knowing that he probably smelled bad now, so he decisively went to the south gate to wait for the bus.

The various battles along the way helped him reach a full level, but he still couldn't find the save point, which made him anxious.

Chu Guang looked at the supplies that the caravan was unloading.

In addition to the rifles that Liszt bought from himself, there was also a batch of goods that belonged to him, which were sold by Liszt on a 28-for-20 basis.

This batch of arms was exchanged for nearly fifty tons of mineral resources, twenty tons of shellac powder used to improve soil fertility, and twenty-five two-headed cattle.

Liszt took the rich apprentice and walked towards Chu Guang.

"Nearly 70% of these goods belong to you, and I plan to settle the remaining 30% with rifles. I will continue to visit Honghe Town and exchange for some raw materials."

Although it is a good choice to switch to spiritual leaves, which are easier to turn into bargaining chips, the caravan that went to Boulder City has not returned yet.

He can't let his caravan wait here.

Before Qian Lai came back, he planned to make another trip to Honghe Town to exchange for more scarce resources at Changjiu Farm.

When the time comes, it will be the same if you use the spirit leaves to settle, and you can exchange for more than you can now!

After listening to Liszt's plan, Chu Guang nodded and continued.

"When the delivery of supplies is completed at the warehouse, I will give you a list. In addition to rifles, we also sell other good things."

Liszt raised his eyebrows.

"for example?"

Chu Guang said with a slight smile.

"Death-whistling rockets, hell-breathing motorcycles, 88 mortars, 20mm lance anti-tank rifles, and various corresponding artillery shells... These things have been tested on the battlefield, and we used them to beat the people in the north hard. Predators, and they're all ready to beat them up again."

"You can tell your friends in Red River Town that they can trust us completely. The Bone Chewing Tribe is everyone's trouble, and we will support their war with practical actions."

Selling rifles and bullets is not as profitable as selling cannons. The former can be made by hand, but the latter cannot be easily made by a few small workshops.

The research and development of the 37mm "heavy lance" has been completed. It is more than a little more powerful than the 20mm "lance" and can penetrate more than 70mm per 100 meters!

This power is more than enough to deal with ordinary light and medium armor!

Not only the products of No. 81 Steel Factory, but the products of Goblin Technology are also very powerful. The accuracy of rockets has been reduced from an error of one kilometer in the early days to within two hundred meters now.

If you want to further improve the power and accuracy, you can only test it on the battlefield.

There is no doubt that Red River Town is an excellent weapons testing ground. The distance of hundreds of kilometers makes it difficult for the two sides to have a direct conflict, and the Bone Chewing Tribe is the common enemy of all survivor settlements in the River Valley Province.

Since someone is willing to pay for the military industry in Vault 404, Chu Guang will certainly not miss this opportunity to open up sales for his factory.

Not to mention that this buyer also holds a large amount of human resources and mining farms.

Maybe while this war is going on, he will buy Honghe Town.

Hearing that Chu Guang actually had so many good things here, Liszt's eyes lit up and a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"With your promise, the mine owners in Red River Town will definitely be happy! They have been tortured by those barbarian armored pickup trucks. Your anti-armor experience and weapons will definitely come in handy!"

Chu Guang smiled slightly.

"Not just providing weapons, we also provide well-trained soldiers and instructors, and we can even sign a long-term employment contract if they need it."

Liszt said excitedly.

"I'll ask them for you, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

Vault 404 had defeated the Snake Clan once, and this matter had already spread.

From Liszt's point of view, of course he hopes that this war will last as long as possible. Only in this way can he earn more chips.

Hearing Liszt's promise, a happy smile appeared on Chu Guang's face.

"I'll just send two ten-man teams to go with you."

The battle line is a bit long, but there is a sleeping cabin as a save point, so it's not a big problem. If you die, just replace it.

Being able to contain the Snake Clan in Honghe Town is better than facing the two troubles of the Snake Clan and the Ya Clan at the same time.

not only.

The players got the mission, the people of Honghe Town got safety, and he got the resources of Honghe Town.

If cooperation is happy and operations are done properly, Vault 404 can even establish a permanent military base there in the future.

This wave is more than just a win-win situation.

It was like Qin Shihuang touching the switch and winning!
