This Game Is Too Realistic

Later, the group went to the weapons store and finally saw the exoskeleton they had longed for.

However……

Ye Shi "KV-1 sells for 600 chips?! Damn it, it's so expensive!"

Bang Feng: "How much did Lao Bai's old set cost?"

Lao Bai thought for a while and replied.

"Five hundred silver coins, the steel plate should account for half of the price. If you only count kv-1, it will be about two or three hundred?"

Although the price was a few versions ago, and it was obtained at an auction.

Thinking of the starting price of two hundred silver coins, everyone felt a sigh of relief.

The managers are still kind.

Compared to Boss Xia at the weapons store, he is so kind!

…

I definitely can't afford such an expensive thing, so I can only look at it to satisfy my craving.

Of course, everyone did not forget the purpose of their trip.

After some negotiations, the LD-47 Sickle assault rifle entrusted to them by the manager was finally sold for 70 chips.

This is the price after their efforts.

The gun shop owner in the new map, Boss Bixia, has a bad temper and is not interested in their weapons at all.

And it’s not just one family.

Although there are also 7 bullets in Boulder City, the lengths are completely different, the structure of the primer is also different, and even if the caliber is the same, they are not universal.

The price of the Drone assault rifle in Boulder City is 150, and the ex-factory price may not even be three digits, only 90 at most.

Selling weapons here is a wrong choice. Both in terms of cost and technology, Boulder City's military industry is much better than them, which has only developed for one winter.

Unless they find another way and work elsewhere.

Looking at the shelves in the store, Ye Shi muttered.

"Holy crap, are you even selling mortars?"

And the price is not expensive.

That style is a little longer than a rifle, has a 60 caliber, and can shoot within three kilometers, but it only costs the price of a set of KV-1?

Lao Bai glanced around the shelves.

"There are no shells here."

Fang Chang: "There are artillery shells, but they should be picked up outside the city. I remember that explosives exceeding a certain number of grams are prohibited... Let's go, none of them are affordable for us."

Lao Bai sighed.

"It's too difficult, it's too difficult."

I wonder if bricks can be sold for money here?

Their Niuma Brick Factory only has this special product.

Ye Shi chuckled.

"How about we go to the factory to drill screws?"

Lao Bai is a power type!

Driving screws must be fierce!

Fang Chang rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

"The daily salary of 2 to 3 chips is not enough for you to buy a gun after working for a month. I advise you to save money."

A sickle that can be sold for 70 chips is actually not bad. Anyway, the cost of raw materials is less than 15 silver coins. No matter how high other costs are, they should not exceed this number.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still flesh.

Although the money has nothing to do with them, the chips sold are mission props, but the final reward will be settled with silver coins and contribution points based on how many chips they sold.

Can you hack yourself?

sure.

As we all know, the ways to get rich are written in the criminal law, and there are always people who think that others are fools.

However, they are not.

Big Bird Vodka with tomatoes and eggs was sold to a drunkard at the door of the pub for 10 chips.

All four of them felt that they were at a loss. After all, the bottle of wine weighed a full kilogram.

To brew so much wine, it would cost at least three kilograms of potatoes, which would cost at least three silver coins. If it was expensive, it would cost up to five.

It’s equivalent to not making any money!

Ye Shi, who was holding the chips, wanted to go into the bar and take a look. There seemed to be someone wearing scant clothes inside, but before he could step through the door, he was pulled by Fang Chang.

Kuang Feng said from the side.

"Don't miss the point."

Ye Shi: "Gan! Aren't you curious? Let me see!"

The first thing to do when opening up a new map is to investigate a place like this, right?

How dare you say that you understand the customs and customs here!

As we all know, whether it is an online game or a stand-alone game, taverns are the information collection and distribution center in RPG games.

This is common sense!

Fang Chang coughed dryly: "I've been here some time ago...the kind of tavern where there are people dancing. The minimum ticket is 2 chips, which is equivalent to buying a glass of wine just to get in."

Ye Shi: "Damn! This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes has been there before! Why didn't you write it in the guide??"

Fang Chang's eyes drifted over.

"I can't possibly write everything."

Lao Bai patted Ye Shi on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Let's wait until we make money. I'm afraid these few chips in my pocket won't be enough for you to drink two drinks."

That's true.

Ye Shi calmed down.

Boss Crow’s mushrooms were finally collected by the grocery store.

Except for the few blue mushrooms she risked her life to steal from the leech nest, the other mushrooms that looked delicious at first sight did not sell for much money.

Looking at the bag of chips in their hands, the four young players looked worried.

"Not enough."

After deducting 70 chips for the mission props, today’s income is 540 chips, more than half of which was contributed by Boss Crow.

What they have at their disposal is 270 chips.

But having said that, those blue mushrooms are really valuable, and they are actually sold by the gram! And 4 grams can be exchanged for one chip!

It's just a pity that this thing is so rare.

Boss Crow had already exhausted them before winter came, but there seemed to be some left in the NPC's warehouse.

Now the leech nest is only used as bait for fishermen. The few blue pili on the wall may not return to its former leafy appearance in a short time.

…

That night.

The four of them slept on the floor on the second floor of the office, and after logging off, they all went to the forum.

Under the expectant gaze of countless players and cloud players, Fang Chang updated everything he had seen and heard throughout the day in his post.

Artwork including Vine is on consignment.

The mushrooms including Boss Crow sold for huge sums of money.

They also wrote clearly and clearly how much everyone's things were sold for.

Hacking other people's equipment and game currency is a disgusting thing that any decent player would disdain to do, and everyone believes in them.

Only Professor Yang, the King of Thunder and Lightning, speculated for a long time, saying that it was impossible to sell only such a small amount, and that there might be something fishy in this, but no one paid any attention to him.

All players' attention was attracted by the new map's rich freedom and explorable content.

What is a virtual world?

Is this what you call it?

The northern suburbs are completely wilderness survival!

Even through the screen, Fang Chang could feel that many people's eyes were shining with envy.

Tails: "Can I open a mercenary guild! (?w?)!"

Fang Chang: "Well, this is an unimagined path. You can give it a try."

There are really mosquitoes in wc: "Wait! Where are my grenades? No one buys them!? (?Д? # )"

Ye Shi: "Your explosive charge exceeded the standard. Who set a grenade? Half a kilogram of explosive was confiscated at the door!"

There are really mosquitoes in wc: "Gan! My anti-split claw crab mine!"

Lao Bai: "...I think anti-tank might be enough."

Mole on the run in the canyon: "Where's the exoskeleton? Have you seen the exoskeleton? Damn it, Red River Town is so poor!"

Fang Chang: "It's written in the post, please read it carefully."

Boulder has an exoskeleton.

And it’s not just the basic KV-1, there are also Series 2, 3, and even improved versions of Type A and Type B, with prices ranging from one thousand to tens of thousands of chips.

This thing is just like a car in the real world, with different styles, different options, and hugely different prices.

The cheapest basic model is equivalent to selling a power supply and a small motor. The expensive high-end version is not only equipped with armor linings, but also comes with a helmet with night vision and thermal imaging. Even if the same solid-state hydrogen technology is used, batteries made of different materials and technologies have vastly different safety and endurance capabilities.

However, the expensive ones are not on the shelves and usually require special customization.

After all, ordinary people can't afford so much money. In most cases, the mercenary's choice is the KV-1, which is slightly more expensive than the rifle.

But what Chu Guang didn't expect was that the kv-1 exoskeleton was so cheap on the shelves in Boulder City, only 600 chips?

The actual production cost may be only half of this figure.

Looking at the posts posted by young players on the forum, Chu Guang couldn't help but recall the distant past. Someone only used 200 chips to take away two kilograms of blue mushrooms from him, and then sold them to him for 800. A set of kv-1 exoskeletons.

That’s the hard-earned money earned by Crow Crow!

Are you sorry?

But thinking about the equipment that Liszt spent hundreds of thousands of chips to buy from Boulder City, Chu Guang didn't bother to worry about the few hundred dollars.

If you don't sell it to him, you can only sell it to Old Leech.

Most of the time, what he can do is not choose the best of two options that both look good, but choose the less bad option of two options that are both bad.

Anyway, he fulfilled his promise and killed this guy once.

No, saying Zai is too vulgar.

It should be said that it is a win-win situation!

…

While Brother Fang was busy replying, Shuyu finally finished everything, and the office of Shelter 404 in Boulder City was finally successfully listed.

It covers a total area of ​​120 square meters. There are no stalls, not counting the entrance. There are three floors in total. The monthly rent is 800 chips. The first floor serves as the lobby, and the second and third floors serve as hotels for players to rest.

In the future, depending on the situation, Chu Guang will consider whether to set up a save point here and arrange a few sleep pods to go there to facilitate players to save here.

The area near the industrial zone of Boulder City has a power grid. One chip can buy 10 kilowatt-hours of electricity. Some people also buy wood generators to generate their own electricity, or tie solar panels to their roofs.

There are also mixed uses of the two.

However, buying a generator often costs three or four figures, which is not suitable at this stage.

With only 10,000 chips, Shuyu didn't dare to waste it. After paying three months' rent and one month's deposit, half of the remaining 6,800 chips had to be spent on decoration and furniture.

This is a request from the managers.

Even if the budget is tight, we must follow the pictures he provided to decorate the place with the "feel of the Adventurer's Guild".

Shouldn't it be the Chamber of Commerce?

Shuyu was a little confused, but he didn't take it too seriously and just regarded it as the manager's personal preference.

After renting the venue, he immediately set up the communication base station, hung the antenna on the roof of the building, and camouflaged it with something less conspicuous.

With this thing, players' v can finally receive messages from the shelter normally!

But maybe because the wall is too high, the signal here is too weak.

Late at night.

Shuyu, who finally finished his work, hung the headphones on his ears and contacted the manager of the shelter far away.

"Sir, as per your instructions, I have contacted the local decoration company for construction. The decoration of the hall is expected to be completed within a week! The decoration of the second and third floors will also be completed within two weeks!"

"Yes, you did a good job."

There was a voice of approval on the other end of the phone, and he paused for a while before speaking.

"The venue problem has been solved, and the employee problem must be solved as soon as possible. I need you to hire some local employees who know the local situation, at least ten people, half of them will be in the field and half will be in the back office."

Field staff are responsible for picking up players and communicating with local people.

This is what Chu Guang promised in the version, which will provide players with a more convenient channel and hire NPCs with higher trading levels to help them sell things.

When you have nothing to do, you can also research the market, collect local rumors, compile information and send it back to the shelter.

Soon the whole Qingquan City will be lively.

You should be able to hear a lot of interesting things from there by then.

As for back office, to put it bluntly, they are civil servants, including tellers who receive players, handle business, issue tasks, and negotiate other business with local people.

If you find out-of-work engineers or even blue jackets from other shelters, introduce them to a new place to go.

If they want.

"...You can train employees according to the manual I sent you. The salary can be appropriately higher according to the market conditions. We can't count on their loyalty, but we can tie them to our tank with benefits. superior."

"You can take control of this yourself, I believe in your ability."

Holding the headphones in both hands, Shuyu nodded seriously.

"Okay, sir, but there is a problem now... We only have 3,400 chips left in our account. Even according to the minimum standard here, we have to give an employee a daily salary of 3 chips. Considering that we need To bear their food and accommodation, the actual cost may be 4 to 5 chips, and the actual employment cost for a month may be up to 150. If we hire 10 people at a time, our current funds will be enough for two months at most."

It’s not just that there isn’t enough money in the account.

What’s more important is the source of funding!

Institutions that provide services to hundreds or even thousands of people cannot always rely on subsidies from shelters, not to mention that shelters do not have that much in reserve.

Hearing the concerns in his heart, Chu Guang said in a reassuring tone.

"Don't worry, the funding problem will be solved soon. I hope you don't have to worry about chips in the future. After the trade route is opened, you will be responsible for the import and export of bulk commodities between the refuge and Boulder City, and you will be responsible for 10% of the transaction volume. It will be used as your funds.”

"But remember, you are not a for-profit organization, but a public organization that serves the shelter community."

"I hope you keep this in mind!"

To put it simply, the assessment of department KPIs does not take the retention of department funds as a reference. It cannot be wasted, but there is no need to be too frugal, let alone fight with other departments just to get funds.

In the future, you will not take this into account when you are promoted or promoted. If you raise the import price for a little money, you will reap the benefits.

However, what Chu Guang thought was simple might be a bit difficult for people in this world, so he simply changed it to something he could understand.

Of course Shuyu understood, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration in his heart.

The purpose is not to make profit, but the interests of the collective come first.

As expected of a manager!

No wonder he can rule such a large territory and unite the undisciplined wastelanders.

This far-sighted vision and this state of mind are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary wastelanders...

…

The next day.

Early in the morning, not long after the four little players got up, they were summoned by the NPC named Shuyu.

After putting on the equipment, Ye Shi said enthusiastically.

"What are we going to do today?"

Shuyu said in non-standard shelter language.

"Hire, employee."

Recruit new NPCs? !

Is this something that players can participate in? !

Hearing these words, the eyes of the four little players suddenly lit up.

Especially Ye Shi, everyone was excited.

"Will you take our opinions into account?"

Shuyu was stunned for a moment, glanced at v, and nodded at the subtitles that popped up on the screen.

"Can."

Of course.

After all, this office serves them.

Rather, their opinions matter.

"Hahaha, Ness!"

Ye Shi pumped his fist excitedly, his face full of excitement.

Shuyu: "...?"

Milk thoughts?

What does it mean?

v did translate it, but after reading it for a long time, he didn’t understand what the translation meant.

Bang Feng looked at Fang Chang helplessly, but he didn't expect that this guy wasn't a serious person either. He was holding his chin and mumbling.

"You really need to pay attention to this...after all, we are partners who have to get along day and night."

Who can refuse a fair-skinned and beautiful elder sister to whisper in her ear, "Be careful on the road," "Pay attention to safety," and "I'll wait for you to come back."

Even if you take ten thousand steps back, a vigorous "Come on" can still make people full of motivation!

Fang Chang swore that this was definitely not his personal hobby, but mainly for the sake of everyone.

Storm sighed.

"A rational analysis..."

Fang Chang immediately guessed what he was going to say and directly interrupted his spell casting.

"Well said, you can shut up."

Ye Shi: "Go away, I don't want rationality!"

Lao Bai: "Well, I actually value gameplay more than reasonableness."

"..."

Bang Feng thought it would be better not to talk too much.

The person responsible for leading the way was the guard of Liszt's caravan, the man named Kaia with a bandage on his arm.

The group of people turned a few corners and came to a lively market.

However, it is different from other markets.

The goods sold at the stalls here are not a dazzling array of products, but people.

Some sell to others, and some sell to themselves.

"This is the largest 'talent market' in Boulder City! Whether you are a free man or a slave, you can find them all here!"

"...Occasionally, you can even see bionic people brought by caravans from outside, or even good things that have been eliminated from the homes of noble men in the inner city."

"There is no bigger talent market in the entire Qingquan City. If the people here can't catch your eye, you can only try your luck in the slums outside. But the quality there is too different... I miss you Probably not interested either."

After giving a rough introduction, Kaiya smiled slightly and looked at Shuyu and others standing aside.

"Choose slowly, and just be careful of those with obvious logos tattooed on their bodies. These people may be gang members, and some are even predators. They don't have absolute confidence in their eyes, so it's best to be cautious."

Shuyu looked at him in surprise.

"Are there any predators here?"

"Of course there is. The gates of Boulder City are open to everyone. The looters will not write what they have done on their faces. But it is actually easy to tell them apart. Sensing the breath is a required course for an experienced warrior."

Kaia had a confident smile on her face.

"Anyway, I'll be fine until dark. If you can't make up your mind, I'm willing to help you!"

He was just a temporary worker in the caravan.

Although I have been working for a year, I am far from being a core employee. If the market is not good, I may be fired next year, and I will have to go to the wasteland to make a living.

You can't go wrong with building a good relationship with these people.

He knew very well that without Liszt's relationship, these people might not even look at him when walking on the street.

Even the boss needs someone to please, so he will naturally not let go of this opportunity to show courtesy.

Shuyu, who was focused on his work, didn't have much mental activity. After nodding his thanks, he walked forward with the players.

This place is more like a refugee camp than a talent market. It's really big, but the quality is hard to fully satisfy.

Skinny people abound here, and most of them have disheveled looks on their faces, and it can be seen that they are relying on those "nutritional creams that are not nutritious at all."

There were a few people in neat formal clothes, holding signs full of words in their hands, writing about their skills and job requirements.

Some people simply set up stalls to help others write on signs for a fee.

[Zhao Duo, electrical engineer, expected daily salary of 20 chips, accepts a 12-hour working day, can do carpentry, and can assemble iron tube rifles. 】

[Bilechi, a blacksmith, worked in a steel factory, can be used by both young and old people. The daily salary is 6 chips, 5 chips are also acceptable. Unless you have to take care of two meals, you will not accept jobs outside the city. 】

[Limu, you can use a gun, you can use a dagger, you can do everything. 】

【……】

Looking at the scene in front of them, Fang Chang and Ye Shi despaired.

"I despair of the future."

"Did we say that everyone's genes have been improved?"

Look around.

I didn’t see a few people with pretty features.

"You two are also old players. How does it feel like you are entering the game for the first time..." Lao Bai coughed dryly, "Given the nutritional conditions in the wasteland, good-looking ones are only a minority, right?"

"Well, the poor people here are too thin, but there are some pretty girls among the mercenaries..." Fengfeng's eyes were fixed on a beautiful woman wearing a leather jacket, but when the other party looked over, he reflexively avoided it. opened.

Ye Shi argued and gave a counterexample: "But Xiaoyu!"

Fang Chang rolled his eyes at him.

"Her nutrition is not bad, okay? Do you think the manager missed her a meal?"

Kuangfeng nodded and commented pertinently.

"Indeed, the little girl seems to have grown a little taller than when we first entered the game."

Not just small fish anymore.

Most of the younger NPCs in the outpost look pretty good, especially those who are still developing.

For example, the young man named Xu Shun next to him, and Lu Bei who followed Brother Mole to Honghe Town.

These are all names they can name.

And the tribesmen next door also have a somewhat exotic feel.

A hint of enlightenment suddenly appeared in Ye Shi's eyes.

"I understand, the answer is to develop!"

Lao Bai: "..."

Fang Chang: “Enterprise-level understanding.”

The strong wind held his forehead.

"I'm begging you to be a human being."

…

While Shuyu and the players were selecting employees, in the Gray Squirrel clothing store on the other side, Xier was still sitting behind the wooden table and dozing off.

The two clothes in the window were missing.

It’s not that it was sold or lost, but it was rented to people in need.

After all, those blue coats are going to be here for several days. If they sell out in the end, wouldn't it be a waste of their good position?

Lost or broken?

That's just right.

Just pay according to the price on the label and that's it.

Doing business with acquaintances is still very reliable.

The door opened with a clang, frightening Siel, who was dozing off, to the point where he almost fell off his chair.

Seeing that it was his old friend Luo Bo who owned a bar, he immediately cursed in annoyance.

"What are you doing? Don't you know how to be gentle when you come in!"

Luo Bo ignored him, walked up with gleaming eyes, put his hands on the wooden table in front of him, and said with spittle flying everywhere.

"Do you still have that kind of clothes?!"

Siel: "Yes..."

Robbo continued without stopping: "I want them all! And those socks, the long ones!"

Siel was stunned for a moment.

"You want them all?"

He suddenly came back to his senses.

Siel, who had not woken up a second ago, suddenly woke up, looked at him with a serious expression and said.

"No problem, but it's devil's thread, and it's shelter technology... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to use."

"but--"

Sil said in a long tone and changed the subject.

"For the sake of our relationship, I can help you think of a solution."

Luo Bo, who had just shown a disappointed expression, immediately grabbed his hand after hearing the second half of the sentence and said excitedly.

"Thanks, good brother!"

Sil cleared his throat.

"Ahem, chips..."

"Haha, look at my memory! I almost forgot about the real thing!" Luo Bo chuckled, grabbed his hand and put it into his pocket, took out a bag of large-denomination chips and slapped it on the table.

"Including the deposit you paid, all 600 chips are here! Just use the remaining money as a deposit!"

Surprised by this guy's cheerfulness, Siel quickly put away the chips and looked at him and asked.

"Why do you need so many clothes?"

"You know, I own a bar!"

"Of course I know……"

"Then you definitely don't know what happened yesterday. I'm not bragging. You should have gone to my place for a drink yesterday," Luo Bo said with excitement. "At that time, when my dancer appeared in that outfit, the whole bar was in a state of excitement. Got it!"
