This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 156 NPCs are running out

   After sending Chu Guang away, Li Desi, who returned to the Trailblazer, thought about it, and finally filled in a line of recommendation reasons he thought was appropriate on the electronic application form——

"It's an ideal inn, they don't have any specialties, but they can get good food at a cheap price and don't have to worry about cutting your throat in your sleep. If you're going further west, you'll be better off staying here than in other provinces. Places are safer, I vouch with my credit score, they are trustworthy."

There are also electronic signatures of dozens of other crew members aboard the Trailblazer.

  This encrypted letter will be sent to the board of directors of Silver Wing Group, and the board of directors will give a reply within three days.

  Li De felt that the problem should not be a big deal.

   After all, even Captain Lu left his signature.

  The sacrifices they made in this battle deserve the respect that those blue jackets deserve.

   As for setting up a factory or something...

   Honestly, this is the first time Li De has heard such a whimsical request. Would any bank be willing to lend to such a high-risk project?

   Hard to say.

   In any case, he can't interfere with this kind of thing, and the Pioneer is not here to open up the market, there is no way to call a dozen caravans.

  Li De suggested to Chu Guang that when the caravans of companies pass by their door, they can discuss this kind of cooperation with them by themselves, but don't hold out too much hope.

   After all, doing business in the wasteland is a risky business. Opening a factory in a river valley province that is not controlled by enterprises...

   How do those caravans bring their profits back?

   Who can guarantee their interests?

   This is a question worth thinking about, not something you can do with a little bit of cleverness.

   However, in Li De's view, these issues worth pondering are not problems in Chu Guang's eyes.

Whether    can be negotiated is one thing, and whether there is a chance to do so is another.

   Besides, if it is true as Li De said, after getting the title of "permanent enterprise partner", there will be a large number of enterprise caravans to include them in the trade route. Even if you can't set up a factory, you can still make money by opening a post station and setting up a barbecue stall.

   At that time, CR will not be useless waste paper. When there are more caravans coming and going, are you worried that no one is interested in this market?

  The huge traffic of caravans is also a market in itself. The biggest advantage of Vault 404 over Boulder City is that it is closer to the suburbs and has more convenient transportation.

   Whether it is used as a trade node for enterprise caravans to travel between the central and western regions, or as a trade hub for foreign caravans and local merchants in Qingquan City, it can create a considerable income for the outpost.

   Epic enhancements for life pro gamers!

   is really awesome.

  …

At the north gate of the outpost, the torches in the snow flickered.

   Wasteland time is twelve o'clock in the morning, and it is noon in reality.

  Except for a few living professional players who were not offline in the living area, most of the players went offline to eat.

   After all, it is impossible to stay online for 24 hours. Even if the player's real body can withstand it, the cloned body in the game has to close his eyes and rest.

  Otherwise, "Fatigue DEBUFF" will appear on the VM, which directly affects the work efficiency the next day.

  Chu Guang, who was wearing a Type 5 police light exoskeleton, came from the north. The wrench patrolling the door happened to see him, and he immediately greeted him and saluted.

   "Sir, you are back."

  Chu Guang nodded.

   "Well, what about the loot?"

  Wrench reported.

   "Half of it has been unloaded, and half of it is on the truck! There are too many things, old Luca said that he will find a few people to build a new warehouse tomorrow, and specially put those weapons."

  Chu Guang nodded.

  Armaments do have to be separated from other materials.

   In the future, as the resources of the outpost grow, each type of resource will build a separate warehouse and hire a specialist to keep it.

  Thinking of this, Chu Guang couldn't help sighing in his heart.

  NPCs are not enough.

   If only the literacy class on Old Charlie's side could be faster.

  If Vault 404 is awarded the title of "Permanent Enterprise Partner", there will definitely be caravans from enterprises passing by in the spring of next year.

   He will need more manpower at that time.

  Chu Guang couldn't help but wonder, shouldn't it be time to set up a literacy class for the nomadic camp? Without culture, it is not easy to arrange work for them.

   Passing through the door of the outpost, Chu Guang noticed that the lights of the weapon shop were still on, and saw a figure leaning on crutches standing at the door.

   also saw Chu Guang coming from the north gate, Xia Yan, whose cheeks were flushed from the cold, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and limped up to meet him with a cane.

   "You've come back, I'm going to send someone a mission to find you."

  Chu Guang glanced at the VM she was wearing on her arm and joked.

   "I'm very pleased, you are getting more and more proficient at using it."

  Xia Yan raised his eyebrows and was about to speak when a voice suddenly came from the direction of the nursing home.

   "Woooooo, Master!"

The    wastepaper basket-shaped robot rushed to Chu Guang's side and happily circled around his calf several times.

   "Master, you're finally back! The electronic pulse outside was so big just now, Xiao Qi is so worried about you!"

  Chu Guang lightly patted Xiao Qi's head and said with a smile.

   "Don't worry, that thing has no effect on me, but are you all right?"

  Xiaoqi: "Xiaoqi's words are fine! That level of EMP can't affect Xiaoqi!"

Huh?

   So you are quite brave.

  Chu Guang touched its round head, only to find that he touched the ash on his hand. It seemed that he should find a chance to give it a bath.

   Looking at Chu Guang who was only there interacting with the robot pet, Xia Yan couldn't help rolling his eyes, coughed lightly to remind him that he was still here, and continued.

   "What the **** happened to the north? That...is it a nuclear explosion?"

  Chu Guang picked up a ball of snow from the door of the weapon shop and washed the ash from his hand.

   "A small nuclear bomb, about 10 tons, is not a big problem."

   Xia Yan was stunned.

   "...A man from the Legion?"

"Well, it's a thousand-person team, led by a thousand commander named Vanus. It is said that when Lu Yang brought someone to find him, the guy poured a glass of red wine and calmly asked him if he wanted to have a drink together. 2000 The polyclonal light infantry, blood filled the trenches... but anyway, their gear is now ours."

   Looking at the smile on Chu Guang's face, Xia Yan said worriedly.

   "I always feel that you are a little too optimistic."

"which aspect?"

"In every way," Xia Yan sighed and continued, "A year ago, the Legion's expeditionary force was fighting against the people of the Great Rift Valley in the north, claiming to be an army of one million... and in fact it was almost the same number. You know. What does that mean? They don't know how many there are in a thousand-man brigade like this."

  Chu Guang raised his hand and stopped her.

   "You want to say, we shouldn't get involved in this war, right?"

   Xia Yan nodded with a serious expression.

"It is not a wise decision to intervene in the affairs between the legion and the enterprise. If you let the people of the legion know that they lost a thousand-man brigade because of your meddling, what would you do if you were their commander. "

   "Me?" Chu Guang smiled and said, "It depends on what I'm doing. If the battle situation on the front line is tight, I'll put this trouble aside for now, and I'll take care of him when I'm free."

   Xia Yan looked at him in disbelief.

   "Since you know, then you-"

"So you think their battle is going well?" Chu Guang said lightly, "If it really went so well, they wouldn't come to the south to desert. It's just that this battle can't go on, and they plan to make a profit before they retreat. A little is a little."

  Xia Yan: "...This is just an ideal analysis. Those people are predators, and they don't think everything so carefully."

  Chu Guang said with a smile.

   "I know, I'm thinking in their shoes. So have you ever wondered what would have happened if this force hadn't caught the Trailblazer."

  Xia Yan was slightly stunned.

   "...Not caught?"

   Is this related to what they discussed before?

   Xia Yan couldn't help but be a little confused.

  Chu Guang nodded.

"Yes, whether it's a war or negotiating a contract, you have to prepare both hands. After all, things can't always go as smoothly as you think. The situation is optimistic, they successfully intercepted the Trailblazer, then the supply of 2,000 people is easy to say. directly from the fat sheep."

   After a moment's pause, he continued.

"But in fact, they are actually a step behind. If the Pioneer didn't break down in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, they would probably have missed this fat sheep. Five light trucks, the supplies they brought were simply not enough. Let them survive the whole winter, and it is impossible to travel hundreds of kilometers back in such heavy snow... What do you think they will do then? Stand silent in the heavy snow? Or look at the ruts on the ground and curse mother?"

   Xia Yan fell into contemplation with a worried expression.

   Obviously this is beyond the thinking boundary of a small mercenary.

   She only thought about the possible revenge of the Legion by attacking the Legion, but she didn't expect that it was the same whether it was provoked or not.

   Looking at the way she was struggling with her brain, Chu Guang said leisurely.

"Since they dared to set out before winter, they must have prepared both hands. Let's just say that the survivors of the looting of northern Qingquan City were already on their back-up plan. So we have to provoke them or not provoke them. What's the difference? They're ready to mess with us anyway."

   In fact, even if the Legion succeeded in intercepting the Trailblazer, the second scenario is entirely possible.

  Organized does not imply discipline, just as corporations say about them, the so-called legion is just a group of organized predators.

   From the moment they set off, the war was doomed.

   But the good news is that this delicious and lazy little employee now knows how to take care of his own boss.

   This is a great thing.

   seems to be well-trained.

   patted her on the shoulder, and Chu Guang gave her an approving look.

"Remember this sentence, Gou is only an expedient measure, and the development space is eventually created. Don't think about it if you don't understand it, anyway, you don't need to worry about it, why don't you think about happy things. A large number of weapons and pensions Gold, a free industrial master machine, and the title of a permanent partner of the enterprise... these things are enough for us for a long time."

   For the future, Chu Guang is full of confidence in his heart.

   As long as he develops, no matter what kind of legion, enterprise or academy, it is not a problem for him.

  When the fire of industry is ignited, with infinite production capacity and infinite vitality, his players will be the strongest!

  …

   was speechless all night.

  Chu Guang had a long dream.

   He dreamed that he had become a machine gunner, crouched in a bunker, in front of the Legion's army of millions of clones, the surrounding artillery roared, and the sky plane swooped down.

   And the players who were supposed to charge in front were all standing behind him now, murmuring incessantly.

"Raise the muzzle a little more!", "Shoot, will it shoot? Aim and shoot!", "Can you pull the trigger and don't let it go? Who saves bullets for?", "The machine gunner moves five meters to the left. , hey, I'm worried!"...

  Chu Guang was on fire at the time, he turned the muzzle of his gun and swept away them all, and in the end he left the one with the biggest chest and couldn't bear to attack.

And then……

  Wake up from a dream?

   "Shit... I have to change the sheets again."

   sweating all over, Chu Guang, who got up from the bed early in the morning, felt like he had been doing push-ups all night, and every cell in his body was expanding.

   Having grown accustomed to growing his body while sleeping, Chu Guang calmly went to the B2 floor to take a bath, and then returned to the resident hall to check himself.

   As Chu Guang expected.

   This time it has been upgraded again.

  【

  】

   "This wave should have rubbed off on the players' experience."

   The physique attribute is increased a little, and the metabolic capacity and toughness are improved. For Chu Guang, who cannot be resurrected, this attribute is still very useful.

   Looking at the medical examination form, Chu Guang touched his chin with interest, and continued talking to himself, "However, in such a big battle, it has only been upgraded by one level. It seems that the posture of gaining experience still needs to be improved."

The upgrade conditions for the    manager sequence are very vague. Unlike other departments, you can figure out how to upgrade by looking at the literal meaning.

   For the time being, regardless of the level, Chu Guang sat in front of the computer and opened the official website.

  Chu Guang wanted to see how the players felt about last night's battle, but he just took a look, my dear, more than 100 withdrawal reactions have already started.

   "Ahhh, I'm going to die without Boss Crow's mushroom soup!"

   "I can't hold the little man's hand and dance anymore."

"Without Xiaoyu's good morning and attention to safety, I feel that I have no motivation to go to work! The boss scolded me today, and I actually stared back, feeling like he was very scared, should I start preparing a new resume? "

   "Damn it! I really want to fry something! I just got the recipe for Black Sorkin and I'm going to try it."

   "Would you like to try it in reality?"

   "Fuck off, you want me to die!!!"

   "In the 12th hour when I couldn't go online, I felt the pain of Makabazi and quit smoking. I couldn't breathe."

   "Woooooo, planning dad, please, let me go!"

  Chu Guang: "..."

Depend on!

   I can't be online for a few days, as for?

   I didn’t expect these players to be so addicted.

  Chu Guang originally thought about letting them take a few days off to relax in reality, but now it seems that he just thinks too much, these little players are even more anxious than himself.

   Especially the quit smoking guy, the word sadness has become a river in his posts. According to his own account, after going offline yesterday, he slept with his helmet on all night.

   By the way, can you fall asleep?

   Watching the discussion of the bulls and horses before, Chu Guang vaguely remembered that if he was wearing a helmet, he seemed to be able to see the reminder of the countdown and login restrictions no matter he opened or closed his eyes, right?

  Chu Guang couldn't figure out what happened to the helmet. I just hope they don't ruin their bodies, live a good life when they can't be online, and don't cause trouble to the society.

   As for the issue of not being able to go online, to be honest, Chu Guang was more anxious than them.

   More than a quarter of the players in the "server" can't get on the game. If this is a goose factory and a pig factory, it would be better if you don't lose 10,000 happy beans.

   It can only be said that it is a closed beta test.

Aguang: "Don't panic, everyone, we have been working overtime for 48 hours in a row to rush repairs, and all players who cannot log in to the game normally due to bugs will be compensated! In addition, players who died today in the battlefield mission will have limited medals issued. The auction of loot will also be held online, and you can receive it normally after going online, so you don’t have to worry about missing out on equipment because of death!”

   Quit smoking: "Brother Guang!! Woohoo, please, let your programmers hurry up!"

  Ye Shi: "It's enough to participate in the auction! I want to take a sight! Red dot YYDS!"

  Tail: "Give the tail 5 silver coins! Nothing happened to the tail! Give the tail 10 silver coins, and the tail helps to wash the floor! (｀)Ψ"

  Siss: "Awei, you're not dead, why are you joining in the fun?"

  Tail: "!! Damn, has Sisi been bought by an evil plan! Hurry up and pass it on, Sisi is not clean!"

  Siss: "???"

  …

   At the same time, the prison next to the operation camp.

   Yuan Hao, wearing a padded jacket, turned off the off-road vehicle, threw a basket of potatoes at the door, and shouted coldly.

"dinner's ready."

   The prison door opened.

   Looking at Vanus who came out from inside, Yuan Hao subconsciously touched the pistol on his waist with his right hand, guarding against his every move.

   Seeing the alertness of the person in front of him, Vanus said nothing, just picked up the frame containing the potatoes and turned back to the house.

   Looking at the closed door, thinking of the blue jacket and his compatriots who died tragically in the battle that day, Yuan Hao couldn't help but spit at the door and returned to the car cursing.

   "These scumbags."

  In his opinion, there is nothing to be polite with these people. They should not be allowed to live in a warm prison, but should be thrown into the snow and frozen into ice cubes in the cold wind!

   It's cheaper to give them potatoes!
