This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 129 LV10! Second stage of the sequence!

night.

  Chu Guang had a nightmare.

   In his dream, he was covered with fluff and turned into a bear. In order to avoid hunters, he ran desperately in the forest, tearing a creeper with two claws along the way, slapped a claw crab to death, and finally hit a real bear with one punch... …

  Wait, I have even turned over the cracked claw crab, why should I be chased by hunters?

   At this moment, Chu Guang woke up from his dream.

   The first thing after waking up, Chu Guang touched his body all over, and found that apart from the hot sweat, there was no other change.

  Chu Guang heaved a sigh of relief.

so close!

   With both hands on the bed board, Chu Guang was about to sit up from the bed, but he couldn't control his strength. One of them used too much force and jumped directly under the bed.

   Inertia took two steps forward before standing up. Chu Guang still didn't realize what had happened. The bones followed the movement of his limbs, and there was another crackling sound.

After    activity, every cell in the whole body feels comfortable like never before, as if every pore is breathing.

   Not only that, Chu Guang felt that his brain was more awake than ever, and his vision was clearer than ever before. It didn't look like he had just woken up at all, but instead he seemed to have filled a few bottles of taurine.

   What shocked Chu Guang in particular was that, standing by the bed, he could actually see the texture printed on the doorknob!

   immediately realized what was going on.

  Chu Guang didn't stay in the room for a moment, he ran to the residents' hall without a word, and used the medical equipment placed there to do a full body check on himself.

   Not what he expected.

   This awakening has been upgraded again!

second stage!

   All attributes are increased by 5 points! ?

   "Fuck, this is too cool."

   You can upgrade while lying down!

   Looking at the medical examination results entered on the VM screen, Chu Guangle couldn't close his mouth.

   As he guessed,  LV10 is a bottleneck. Once the development progress of the gene sequence breaks through this bottleneck, the strength will usher in a qualitative leap!

   "All attributes plus 5, and an extra talent...Is this the 'awakening' that the aborigines in the wasteland called?"

  Chu Guang still remembered that he first heard this word from Haien from Honghe Town.

   In the subsequent fight with the "Bear", the "Bear" who was forced into a desperate situation appeared a phenomenon similar to "Xenomorphization", no accident, that should also be regarded as a situation of awakening.

   However, in Vault 404, this phenomenon seems to be called the second stage of the genetic sequence.

   Unlike the naturally awakened "bear", his appearance and traits have not changed significantly due to his awakening.

   The only change that can be felt is that the strength has become stronger, the thinking is more agile, the perception of the surrounding environment is more sensitive, the reaction speed is faster, and the resilience and immunity are also stronger.

  Chu Guang roughly speculates that the bonuses provided in the second stage of different sequences should be different, and the unlocking talents should also be different. For example, the strength department should focus more on strengthening the muscle level, and the agility department should focus more on reflex nerves and the like.

   However, this is all just speculation.

   At present, in the entire sanctuary, only I have reached the second stage. Among the other players, the fastest leveling bull and horse team, the highest is only the peak of LV7.

   As for the other sequences, we will only know when they reach LV10.

   Anyway, Chu Guang was quite satisfied with the second stage of the "manager" sequence he held.

   5 points of all attribute upgrades, directly transforming into a pentagon warrior in seconds. Coupled with the skill that "gives people a fear debuff", he feels that he is invincible!

Footsteps came from the corridor on the    side.

   Yawning, Xia Yan, who had just woken up, walked out of the room with a cane between his arms.

   Looking at Chu Guang who was holding vm and smirking, she was stunned for a moment, and whispered something.

   "What are you looking at, you're smiling like this."

The smile on   's face quickly disappeared, Chu Guang raised his head, looked at Xia Yan, and stared into her eyes.

   The two looked at each other.

  The air was quiet for a few seconds.

   The white cheeks were gradually printed with crimson.

   "God, neurotic."

   Xia Yan, who turned his head, walked away with a cane.

   Watching the back figure twirling towards the buffer room, Chu Guang touched his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly looked at the wastepaper basket squatting in the corner to charge.

   "Little Qi."

   The signal light above his head lit up, and Xiao Qi raised the flat camera.

   "Yes, Master."

  Chu Guang then asked.

   "Is she scared?"

  Xiaoqi seemed to be stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he spoke weakly.

   "Although the target's blood pressure, heart rate, and heat dissipation all increased slightly, Xiao Qi feels... that shouldn't be the effect you expected, right?"

  Chu Guang: "..."

All right.

   Maybe the facial features are too handsome, and they don't look so intimidating.

   This skill is still a bit tasteless for me.

  …

  Better Street.

  The square in front of the castle was crowded with people.

The residents of   Bate Street were called here early in the morning, and many of them had just woken up, with blank and curious faces on their faces.

   For the residents living here, many have never been here in their entire lives.

  The old town mayor’s family doesn’t like to see the poor, so every time they get closer, they will be chased away by guards patrolling nearby.

   But it's different now, the old town mayor's family has been driven away.

  Although a new mayor has come to power, at least this new mayor is an old acquaintance they have dealt with, and he is always more cordial than the vampire they have never met.

   Facing the eyes of the pair looking at him, Old Charlie took out a signed and dated piece of paper from his arms, cleared his throat, and said.

   "Starting today, the first Code of Bett Street comes into force! It will promise and protect the legitimate rights and interests of all Bett Street residents."

"The rules are very simple. Those who kill intentionally will be hanged, those who cause minor injuries in a fight will be sentenced to imprisonment for more than one year and hard labor, and those who cause serious injuries in a fight will be sentenced to imprisonment for more than three years and labor. Those who destroy property will be sentenced to imprisonment, hard labor, and caning depending on the amount involved..."

   There are more than 20 ideas in the old investigation, and most people can understand, only a dozen or so.

  The people in the square looked at each other.

   Code?

   Many of them heard this strange word for the first time.

  Although there were also guards on Bette Street before, but the guards never dealt with the disputes of the residents. They were only responsible for the security of the castle and the walls.

   In the past few years, there has been no murder, and fights have often occurred, but no one has been injured.

   After all, life is already very difficult these days, and no one wants to offend others easily. Even if it is not out of moral constraints, everyone will weigh the pros and cons of the consequences of disrupting the order.

   As for stealing...

  Is it considered stealing to dig up the croissants at someone else’s door?

   What is this thing supposed to do?

  Looking at the residents looking at each other, Old Charlie knew what they were thinking, but he didn't give any explanation.

   No explanation is necessary.

   They can't understand things that are too difficult.

  Law is meaningless just on paper. After it has been strictly enforced once, someone will naturally weigh the consequences of violating it.

  After a pause, Old Charlie continued to speak.

"From today, the official currency of Bate Street is set to be silver and copper coins. Food, daily necessities, clothes and other materials can be purchased at the grocery store operated by the street office. The original chips can still be used, but only for food purchases And salt. In addition, the rewards for scavenging and hunting will no longer be paid with chips. The current exchange rate of chips and silver coins is tentatively determined that one chip can be exchanged for one silver coin, and after one month, the chips can only be exchanged for 5 copper coins.”

The voice of    fell, and the surrounding was suddenly full of discussions.

   "The chips are not working well?"

   "Why change to silver coins and copper coins..."

   "That's right! I've never heard of silver coins and copper coins."

   "Are you changing?"

   "I won't change it!"

   "Fools only change!"

When    said this, many people were secretly observing the expression on Old Charlie's face.

   They thought that Old Charlie would panic, and even devastated.

   However, to the disappointment of those people, old Charlie didn't take their complaints to heart at all, and still had that calm expression on his face, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

   Yu Hu, who was standing in the crowd, was even more anxious than Old Charlie.

   Unlike other residents of Bate Street, he has seen those silver and copper coins. The group of blue jackets in the wetland park used these coins to buy things, and they could buy a lot of good things.

   Now some people say that only a fool uses chips to exchange those silver coins, how can he bear it?

   However, just when he was about to explain, Yu Xiong, who was standing by the side, saw his plan at a glance, and immediately reached out and pulled him.

   "Brother, why are you pulling me?"

   Looking at his angry younger brother and shaking his head, Yu Xiong said in a serious tone.

   "What can you say to them? What's the point other than arguing?"

   Yu Hu looked anxious.

"But--"

"Nothing is not. Even if you can think of things, Brother Chu can't think of it? Since he has made this decision, he must have his thoughts and plans. As for us, just do our job well, don't be busy. If you don't help, you will cause a lot of trouble!"

   After being reprimanded by his elder brother, Yu Hu finally calmed down.

   I didn't want to understand it before, but it seems reasonable to hear what my brother said.

   Brother Chu, who is so smart, can't take into account the current situation?

   figured this out, and Yu Hu suddenly relaxed, looking at the thorns who shouted to kill and didn't exchange their chips for silver coins, he just thought they were fools.

Ha ha.

  Wait and see!

   When I go back, I will replace all the chips at home with silver coins, and see who will suffer when I see it!

   The fathers of Yu Hu and Yu Xiong were silent, but they obviously had their own ideas in their hearts.

   "The chips are not in a hurry to change."

   pointed his index finger on his eldest son's arm, Lao Yu lowered his voice and said.

   "If you have received silver coins and you don't want them, let's exchange chips with them... It should be possible to exchange more."

   Yu Xiong was stunned for a moment, he immediately understood what his father meant, and nodded.

"it is good!"

   left enough time for the surrounding residents to discuss. When they had enough discussion, Old Charlie spoke slowly and continued to talk about other arrangements.

   Like the Guard.

  Although the original guards were disbanded, Bette Street could not be left undefended.

   The eldest son of the Yu family, Yu Xiong, is temporarily serving as the captain of the guard. At the same time, 15 young people under the age of 35 and 14 years old are openly recruited to form a new guard team.

The daily job of the    Guard is to patrol and stand guard, as well as training.

   The work intensity is not high, and you don’t have to risk your life. At least it is safer than going to the ruins to scavenge and hunt, standing behind the bunker of the wall.

   As for treatment, in addition to managing food and housing, the street office also pays each guard a salary every month.

   The current number is 50 silver coins, and it may rise in the future.

  Although there is no specific concept of the purchasing power of silver coins, according to Old Charlie, one silver coin can be exchanged for one kilogram of croissants or green wheat in the grocery store run by the street office.

   50 silver coins a month, that is 50 kilograms of grain.

   Part of the money can also be exchanged for salt at the grocery store, or other daily necessities, which is completely enough for the family!

After    Old Charlie's voice fell, many people showed eager expressions on their faces, planning to wait a while to put a fingerprint on it and sign up for a try.

  If you choose, you don't have to worry about starving all winter!

   "...In addition, there will be a welfare school at the Central Castle on Bate Street. Currently, there are two courses in literacy and numeracy."

   "All teenagers over 6 years old and under 14 years old must take two semesters of the program. During the class, the school will provide a free lunch to the enrolled students.

   "Youth over the age of 14 can sign up for the adult class from 7:00 to 9:00 pm without any charge. If two courses reach the passing score, they can work in the street office."

   Obviously, compared to the recruitment of the guards, the vast majority of Bate Street residents are not very interested in this so-called school, nor do they regard it as a benefit.

   Still, there is something appealing about managing meals.

   Even if you only care about the children's meals, you can save some food for the winter at home.

  Whether or not the residents of Bate Street are interested in literacy and numeracy, literacy is a must.

  Establishing order is the first step, and getting rid of ignorance is the second step. Only after these two steps are completed can we lay a solid foundation for further work.

   Looking at the survivors whose faces were full of ignorance, Old Charlie sighed softly in his heart.

   is a long way to go.

  After all the arrangements were explained, Old Charlie immediately announced the dismissal of the meeting.

  Except for those who planned to sign up for the Guard, the rest of the residents went back to their homes.

  A lot of people have to go out hunting for a while, so before it's completely dawn, they go home and pack up their gear.

   They were all on their way home, Wang Defu, the third son of the Wang family, complained angrily.

   "Why should someone from the Yu family be the captain of the guard? There are only two men in their family, why!"

   Not only was he dissatisfied, his two older brothers were obviously not very happy either.

   Especially his elder brother Wang Biao.

   Until old Charlie opened his mouth to announce the selection of the captain of the guards, he was all elated.

   After all, from the beginning to the end, he regarded himself as old Charlie's man.

   However, when Old Charlie announced the selection of the captain of the guard, he felt that the whole world instantly turned gray, and his face became even uglier than eating cake.

  Why?

  It was clearly that he risked his life to deliver the letter to the Bloody Hand Clan. It was obviously that he managed his mouth and kept the secret that the Bloody Hand Clan had been destroyed for Old Charlie.

   It turned out that the one who became the captain of the guard was actually a member of the Yu family?

   After hearing this arrangement, he felt that the few chips in his pocket were not fragrant...
