This Game Is Too Realistic

"Oh oh oh! You have so many good things here!"

B4 floor browsing room.

Looking at the dazzling collection of books on the bookshelf, Pai's eyes sparkled like sapphires illuminated by a torch.

Standing next to Pai, Xiaoyu said in a very soft voice.

"Brother Chu said, you can borrow it at will, but you can't take it out of the shelter, and don't damage it."

It is now 8 o'clock in the evening, and her bank uniform has been changed into loose casual clothes. Her ponytail has been let down, and her silky hair hangs down on her shoulders. She looks like the little sister next door.

By the way, both pieces of clothing are designed by Vineyard House.

"Don't worry!" Pai took down an encyclopedia that was heavier than his head from the bookshelf and continued happily, "I will take good care of it!"

Standing behind the two of them, looking at the encyclopedia that Pai took down, Chu Guang asked curiously.

"Don't you have one there?"

"Yes! But not so much!"

Pai freed up his left hand to gesture on the bookshelf, and then said.

"The bookshelf in my master's home is about half this size. There are books he picked up from the wasteland on it, as well as some broken memories. He spent half his life repairing those things, but so far he has only A little bit done.”

Chu Guang was quite surprised and said: "It seems that your master is a respected scholar."

"Of course!" Pai raised the tip of his nose proudly, "That old man knows a lot!"

"..."

Chu Guang coughed lightly.

"...You might as well suggest to your teacher that you can teach a few more students so that he can feel more relaxed."

Pai sighed and said helplessly.

"I've always suggested this, but it's too difficult to recruit students... Our camp is okay, but in the survivor settlements outside, many people don't even have enough to eat."

It seems that this little girl is not completely ignorant of the sufferings of the world, which makes Chu Guang a little surprised.

"You can bring him to see us. We have solved the problem of food and clothing for the time being."

For example, become a principal or minister of education or something.

Although this sentence was said in a half-joking tone, Pai's eyes lit up after hearing it and he said excitedly.

"Hey, that's right. With all the delicious food you have here, there will definitely be no shortage of people who are full enough to hold on. After I get back, I will suggest to my master that he come to your place to get a virgin!"

It's okay to hold on after eating enough...

This guy really says whatever comes to mind.

Chu Guang almost choked on his saliva and coughed dryly and looked at the little fish next to him.

"...You play with her for a while, and take her wherever she wants to go,"

The core of the entire shelter is the control terminal at the deepest level of B4.

However, only Chu Guang has the authority there. Most people can't even enter the maintenance room in front. They can only walk to the gym behind the browsing room at most.

Xiaoyu nodded obediently.

"What about you?"

Chu Guang glanced at the time on the VM.

"Heya asked me to go to the medical laboratory for a physical examination. I plan to go there soon."

In the past two months, he has basically been on the front line, and he was also busy with various things in the three days after returning from the front line.

Although the gene sequence has been promoted several times during this period, the attribute panel has never been updated.

It wasn't until this morning when Chu Guang got up from the bed sweating profusely that he realized that he hadn't checked his physical condition for a while.

Medical laboratory.

Heya, who was wearing a white coat, had been waiting for a long time.

Looking at Chu Guang who passed through the trap door, there was no nonsense. She reached out and patted the scanning bed like an operating table.

"Quick, lie down."

Looking at that excited look, Chu Guang always felt like he was a guinea pig.

But this isn't the first time.

He has long been used to it.

The scanned data was released, and the updated property panel was quickly displayed on the VM.

【

ID: Chu Guang

Gene Sequence: Manager (Phase 3)

Level: LV.22→LV.27

——Basic attributes——

Strength: 25

Agility: 18→20

Constitution: 21→22

Perception: 20→21

Intelligence: 20→24

】

The sequence progress has increased by 5 percentage points, which is reflected in the attribute panel as an increase of 5 levels.

However, what surprised Chu Guang the most was not this, but that his attributes actually increased by 8 points!

"Intelligence has increased by 4 points! Good guy... he's almost catching up with his strength!"

However, the strength attribute did not increase at all, which Chu Guang did not expect.

Is it because he is sitting in the back and directing?

Although the brain's computing speed increases, it is indeed more helpful to him than muscle growth.

"Incredible...I am becoming more and more interested in your body."

Staring at the tablet in her hand, Heya had an incredulous expression on her face and babbled incomprehensible words.

To be honest, if she didn't speak, her face that seemed to come from the 3D area would be really pretty.

It's no wonder that her popularity on the forum is unexpectedly high despite her lack of presence.

But the premise is not to speak...

Chu Guang coughed lightly.

"...Please don't say such misleading things."

Heya opened her eyes wide.

"Misunderstanding? No, I'm serious! Do you remember what I told you before? Your DNA shows characteristics similar to those of the mother nest - they can actively modify themselves according to the evolution of the fruiting bodies in the environment. DNA expresses traits that are more adaptable to the environment! This is incredible!”

"..."

Looking at Heya who was completely immersed in her own world, Chu Guang put on his coat in silence.

However, just when he was about to slip out of the medical laboratory, Heya suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Wait, wait a minute... I have something else to ask of you!"

Chu Guang: "...what's the matter."

Heya said with excitement.

"Samples! My lab needs more samples of mutant slime mold!"

"You previously locked the permissions for the area within the Third Ring Road of Qingquan City. I can't release tasks in that area, and I can't find you! Without more samples, the research on mutant slime mold can't be carried out at all. I have already There has been no new progress for a whole month!”

Being stared at by that fanatical gaze, Chu Guang raised the VM and clicked on it twice with a proud expression.

"Okay, okay, I'll just untie it for you..."

He happily let go of his hand, and Heya's expression finally returned to normal.

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome, I'll leave if I have nothing else to do..." Before Chu Guang finished speaking, Heya had already turned around and walked through the trap door to the sample analysis room next to her.

Chu Guang breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly.

In fact, Heya didn't mention this matter. In the next two days, he also planned to release the permission to release tasks from the second ring to the third ring.

"Wasteland OL" has never prohibited players from exploring the edges of the map. The explorable area comparable to the planet and the outer space under development are among his big projects.

However, although there are no restrictions on the player's activity area, Chu Guang has always had restrictions on NPC's authority.

Especially the release scope of the task.

Except for the Merchant Guild, other units cannot issue missions to players that are too far away from the signal range of the new alliance.

Some areas that are too dangerous should not appear on the regular task list.

However, after experiencing the battle in Xizhou City, many third-stage powerhouses who have awakened for the second time have been born among the players.

For example, for the cattle and horse team, the third ring road in Qingquan City is no longer so dangerous for them.

Restrictions on tasks involving the city center area can be gradually lifted, but the access level of the tasks must be set above LV20.

Although death is not a big deal to players, as a manager, Chu Guang still hopes to avoid some meaningless deaths.

This will make death more valuable.

…

TS City.

The Snake Clan's tent.

Seeing his subordinates kneeling under the tent, the leader of the Snake Clan's eyes widened and his eyes were about to burst.

"Jinya is dead?!"

The man kneeling under the tent said tremblingly.

"Dead... I heard that he was betrayed by one of his own people and was blown to death in the blast hole. Only half of his body was left."

"The people of the New Alliance hung his body on the north gate of Dawn City for public display. In addition, there were more than ten captains...except for the three or five who surrendered voluntarily, the rest were all hanged."

"Most of the more than 20,000 Ya clan members were captured. I heard that some were sent to the mines and some were digging soil by the lake in Xizhou City."

"Now the entire Western Continent...that is, the west of us, is already the territory of the New Alliance."

"..." Listening to the reports from his subordinates, the leader of the Snake Clan had horror and confusion written on his face.

Half a month ago, Jin Ya sent him a message, telling him not to worry, because he would take over Qingquan City in one fell swoop and join forces with him in Honghe Town.

He really wasn't worried at first.

The Ya clan is the leader of the bone-chewing tribe, and Jin Ya has nearly 30 tanks and more than 30,000 tribesmen under his command. The strength and equipment are more than three times that of his own.

On the other hand, the New Alliance is just a small village with a total population of less than 10,000.

Even if you lead a pig and sit there to direct it, it won't be beaten so badly, right?

Looking at the map hanging on the wall, a trace of despair gradually appeared on the Snake Clan leader's solemn face.

Xizhou City is less than 20 kilometers away from here. They only need to push the cannon forward a little along the tributary of Tianshui, and they can throw the cannonball above their heads without even pushing it too far.

The staff officer standing next to him whispered.

"...The south has been unable to be conquered for a long time, and trouble has appeared in the west. We can no longer stay here."

"Then where can we go? Are we going to rob the north again?" the leader of the Snake clan said irritably.

The staff officer was silent for a while and sighed softly.

"The mine owners in Red River Town have united. Even if we concentrate all our forces and make a desperate effort to capture the place, we will be severely damaged in fighting with them, and in the end, the New Alliance will reap the benefits."

"...Let's go east and follow the Tianshui River. Although the most fertile soil is out of reach, the eastern provinces can barely find a place for us. Before the new alliance has freed up its hands, now It’s not too late to retreat.”

"Otherwise, we may be in danger of being attacked from both sides."

The leader of the Snake Clan fell silent.

Although he was deeply reluctant, he had to admit that this was probably the only way to survive...

…

Honghe Town.

The position on the south side of Antler Mountain.

The frontline commander standing next to the bomb hole, holding a telescope in his hand, looked at the mountaintop opposite that had been repeatedly contested, and a hint of surprise gradually appeared in his eyes.

"…the marauders retreated."

The adjutant standing aside was stunned for a moment and asked quickly.

"Retreating? What happened?"

"I don't know..."

The commander shook his head and handed the binoculars to his adjutant, "See for yourself."

Reaching out to take the binoculars, the adjutant stared at the mountaintop opposite for a long time and found that there was indeed no one on the other side.

If you look closely, you can see that the bayonets standing outside the trenches are still stuck on wooden sticks.

Putting down the telescope, he looked at the commander with a strange expression.

"...could it be a trap?"

"Send a team of scouts up there to take a look." After thinking for a long time, the commander continued, "Also, report the situation here to the mining guild—I mean the headquarters."

The adjutant nodded and said immediately.

"I'll make arrangements right away!"

The mining guild is already a historical term, but most local people have not yet adapted to it.

Ever since the news of the great victory in Songlinyu spread some time ago, the mine owners and chamber of commerce bosses in Honghe Town have been quarreling almost twice a day, and they have led people to surround the guild every now and then. Every day, it looks like it is going to be over.

Of course, it is impossible to be really dead. After all, when you are really seriously ill, you usually don't make a fuss. At most, you can have a good time when you get back to the light.

Despite the quarrel, everyone knew very well that the relationship between them was one of prosperity and loss.

In this wasteland world surrounded by death and despair, no one can truly leave the other.

In the fierce quarrel, consensus was reached on those originally irreconcilable issues.

The businessmen agreed to reduce the number of mercenaries and establish a well-trained standing army, but the mine owners paid 70% of the military expenses and they only paid 30%.

In exchange, the mine owners also made more concessions on the issue of establishing a "more centralized management organization" and allowed the chamber of commerce that operates each survivor settlement to occupy more of the organization's shares. seats.

After all, where there are more free people, there are more educated people.

However, relatively speaking, the major settlements in Honghe Town will bear more public expenditures than the major mines.

At the same time, all major mining farms and chambers of commerce need to use 10% of their profits as taxes for this unified organization.

From now on, Red River Town will officially change its name to Red River Alliance and will no longer refer to itself by historical place names.

Although they have been wary of the expansion of the new alliance, in the end they turned into what they hate the most...

…

The next morning.

Chu Guang, who was inspecting the work of the Hongshang Trade Union, happened to receive a call from the New Alliance military base in Honghe Town.

When Xu Shun, the head of the military base, learned what had happened in Honghe Town these days, he was surprised and felt dumbfounded for a while.

Good guy.

Has Red River Town directly turned into the Red River Alliance?

Chu Guang never expected that the New Alliance's epic victory in Songlin Valley would cause such a big sensation, and even unexpectedly promote the change of the survivors' forces in Honghe Town.

Perhaps because they were greedy for the development results of the new alliance, the opponent simply copied his work.

But not all were copied.

I just copied part of it selectively.

"...The Snake Clan has retreated, and the other party submitted a written application to us, hoping that we would reduce the garrison in the Red River Alliance. They will no longer need mercenaries for a long time to come."

Listening to Xu Shun's report during the call, Chu Guang thought quietly for a while and then spoke.

"Tell them that we will withdraw from them in a planned way after the threat from the Bone Chewing Tribe is completely eliminated, but not now."

"We have wiped out the Ya clan, but there are still two left. Those predators may come back at any time. Now is not the time to discuss this matter."

"Let them rest assured that we will not interfere in their internal affairs, but we must ensure the safety of our residents engaged in local production and business activities."

Seeing the predator driven away, you want to send his little players away?

Does he look like the kind of guy who comes and goes quickly?

I want to eat shit!

From a realistic perspective, it is impossible for the New Alliance to give up its garrison in Red River Town.

At present, the fastest journey from Dawn City to there is three days. If the military base is cancelled, it means that players will not be able to save in Honghe Town and receive tasks normally. It also means that his little players may be cut off by others. .

This is something Chu Guang cannot accept no matter what.

Xu Shun on the other side of the communication channel performed a military salute and responded neatly.

"yes!"

After the call ended, Chu Guang looked at old Charlie who was standing aside waiting quietly.

Clearing his throat, he continued.

"There was a little problem over there in Honghe Town, but it's not a big problem... Where were we talking about just now?"

"Speaking of our neighbor to the south."

Old Charlie had a gentle tone and patiently picked up the topic that had been interrupted by the phone call just now.

"According to the news you learned from the office set up in Boulder City, the city hall of Boulder City recently introduced a bill requiring weapon shops and vendors in Boulder City to stop selling LD-47 series weapons."

"Obviously they realize that we are taking market share away from them."

LD-47 is powerful and cheap, so it is loved by many mercenaries.

The reason why sales were not good before was simply because bullets were difficult to obtain.

But now the New Alliance's bullets are getting cheaper, especially after the copper mines in Qingshi County were mined, and the wholesale price has been discounted by half.

Under the trend of huge profit margins, more and more vendors are more willing to import the high-quality and low-cost bullets produced by New Alliance, so that the sales data of the "Drone" series of assault rifles produced by the Boulder City Military Factory have plummeted.

Chu Guang frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly had a whim.

"What if we change its name? For example, change LD to AK?"

Old Charlie was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

"...Do you think the other person is a fool?"

Chu Guang smiled sheepishly.

"makes sense."

If you change your name and continue to sell this kind of thing, you can indeed deceive fools.

Those traders still want to continue doing business in Boulder City. Even if they don't listen to the outer city city hall, they still have to listen to the factory owners.

Looking at the manager who was deep in thought, Old Charlie paused and continued.

"...Actually, even if we lose this part of the trade share, it is not a big deal. Mercenary groups in need will naturally come to our territory to purchase. Our products can also be purchased in slums and black markets outside the city... these They are not subject to the control of the outer city city hall.”

"What we should really be alarmed about is that our neighbors' attitudes towards us are changing and our development has alarmed them."

Chu Guang nodded solemnly.

"Definitely, that's a problem."

The New Alliance was able to complete industrialization in such a short period of time, partly by relying on the production experience brought by small players from reality, and partly by relying on the advanced tools provided by the Pioneer.

However, the trade with Boulder City is also a part that cannot be ignored.

For example, many of the production lines related to solid-state hydrogen batteries and KV-1 exoskeletons were imported from the second-hand equipment auction market in Boulder City.

There are also a large number of engineers employed by Liszt Factory who also come from the talent market in Boulder City.

In addition to the products themselves, these companies from Boulder City have also spawned a large number of supporting industries.

Such as advanced electrodes, control components, micro motors, etc.

Some of these parts were exported to Boulder City, and some were digested by local companies in the New Alliance.

Objectively speaking, these have provided considerable help to the industrial development of the new alliance.

If the relationship with Boulder City continues to deteriorate, it will definitely have an impact on the industrialization of the new alliance.

Of course, this is not without impact on Boulder City itself.

For example, the A3 type composite aluminum materials from Bach Aluminum Factory are also imported by factories in Boulder City.

During the development process, the new alliance has mastered some "core technologies".

Chu Guang looked at old Charlie and asked.

"do you have any good advice?"

Old Charlie continued.

"The possibility of direct conflict between us and each other is very small, but this possibility is not impossible. The new alliance is no longer the original small village, and our expansion has aroused the vigilance of our neighbors. In the long run, we still have to pay attention Let’s talk about our relationship with them.”

"For example, we can send diplomats to have more official exchanges with our neighbors. Not just Boulder City, but also Red River Town, and even Garbage City further away... We don't necessarily need them to be friendly, but at least they have to be friendly. Avoid letting them gang up on us."

Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully.

"What you said makes sense. This issue must be treated with caution."

Previously, the Hong Merchants Union had been in charge of foreign affairs.

After all, the new alliance was too small at that time, and its relationship with other settlements was only a trade relationship. Even the tariffs were only implemented two months ago.

Things are different now.

The population of the new alliance has exceeded 10,000, and its territory has expanded northward to Xizhou City. Its logistics is no longer just a few workshops and warehouses, and its relationship with its neighbors cannot only maintain trade exchanges as before.

This also involves geosecurity and strategic needs.

In fact, it is not just diplomacy, but also a series of fields such as economy, industry, transportation, energy, trade, education, etc., which all need to be managed by special departments, instead of having to personally issue instructions every time.

Although with Xiaoqi's help, this is indeed easy. As long as he is willing, he can even make a player on the front line move the machine gun position five meters forward.

Taking advantage of the victory of the Northern Expedition, Chu Guang planned to carry out the second reform of the new alliance's management.

The last time it was changed to the Guard, this time it was changed to the Internal Affairs.

The overly bloated [Logistics Department] will be split, and Chu Guang will further clarify the specific responsibilities of each department and the tasks they are responsible for.

In this way, he can also reduce some micro-management and make himself a little more relaxed.

Seeing what the manager was thinking, Old Charlie nodded with a smile and whispered respectfully.

"It seems you have realized it."

"You just asked me what my advice was, and my advice is that now is the time to do it."
