This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 171 The Doctor and the Bounty Hunter

   [Announcement on the whole server: The adjustment of the LD-47 rifle has been completed, and it has now been logged into the outpost weapon store shelf. Players who have won the lottery before should ask Boss Xia to collect the equipment. LD-47s semi-automatic precision shooter model, will log in tomorrow, so stay tuned. 】

   I heard that there are new weapons in the weapon shop.

  The players near the outpost gathered together, but most of them dispersed after a while.

  The weapon itself is not expensive. For 200 silver coins, it is only twice as expensive as the iron-barreled rifle, but the bullets are too expensive.

  1 silver coin, 30 rounds of magazines cost 30 silver, and newbies who have just entered the game can't afford it at all.

   Moreover, the sickle assault rifle is different from the iron-barreled rifle. The latter has a very simple receiver structure. In theory, as long as the caliber matches, it can be used whether it is a rolled bullet or a punching bullet, and the smokeless powder is not enough. Even black powder can be used.

   Looking at the shelves of the store, the little cute newcomers sighed.

   "Hey! It's too expensive!"

   "Hey, let's upgrade quickly."

   "Indeed, the higher the level, the more rewarding tasks can be accepted. This kind of automatic weapon is too difficult to support in the early stage!"

  Chu Guang didn't stay at the outpost all the time. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, he took a truck to the long-term farm.

   When he arrived at the farm, many small players had returned from the Elm District with their prey, and were handing in the quest here to Old Luca.

   Recently, the farm has been short of food for a long time, and the income of hunting missions is very high.

   The basic income of the hyena has increased from 5 silver coins to 8 silver coins, and the snow wolf whose fur is more valuable has increased from 10 silver to 15 silver, which is higher than the reindeer who passed by the northern suburbs of Qingquan City some time ago!

   In addition, there are regional prestige you can get.

Many professional life players who are eager to set up factories and are not short of money even squatted directly at the intersection of Yumu District, buying prey from hunter players at high prices, and then taking them to the warehouse to hand in tasks. , equivalent to spending money to buy prestige and contributions.

   It is about ten kilometers from Yumu District to Changchang Farm. Those hunters and players can also save time for round trips and focus more on hunting.

   As long as the price is right, what about a little less contribution or regional prestige?

  Most professional combat players do not need regional prestige, and contribution points are enough.

   By twelve o'clock in the afternoon, fifteen mutant snow wolves and twenty-one mutant hyenas had been hung on the wooden shelves at the door of the warehouse.

  The average weight of the former is over 40 kilograms, while the latter is basically around 30 kilograms, and the meat extraction rate is almost 40% or so, adding up to nearly 500 kilograms of raw meat.

   Going down at this speed, I am afraid that within two days, the prey in the Elm District will have to be swept away by these players.

   Luca at the door of the warehouse is very busy at the moment.

   Seeing the manager coming, he immediately greeted him and said.

   "Sir, we need to hire two butchers to handle these prey!"

   "You can use the VM to issue a quest and find two Vault Dwellers to do it."

   "The release was released, but... no one applied," Luca said with an embarrassed expression, "I have increased the hourly salary from 1 credit to 2 credit, but still not many people are interested."

  There is a benchmark value for each task and position. For example, the hourly salary of a butcher is 1 silver coin, and then slaughter a prey and then calculate the money according to the commission. When the NPC releases the task, it will formulate the task reward according to the benchmark value, and at the same time, it can be adjusted according to the priority of the demand. The authority of the old Luca is to be able to double the base value.

   But even so, no one came to apply...

   When Chu Guang heard this, he immediately understood what the problem was.

Most of the   Alpha0.8 players were in the novice village—that is, the outpost.

The hourly salary of   1 silver plus contribution points is still considerable for new players below LV5, but it is a bit less for old players who have just experienced a wave of expansions.

  Especially, slaughtering requires a threshold. Not everyone can use the knife method freely like scrambled eggs, and shave a clean shave after three strokes and five divisions.

   "It's okay, no players are willing to do these jobs, we can find refugees outside. I plan to go to the refugee camp in a while, you can come with me."

  Although he had some doubts about those refugees, Luca didn't say anything anymore after hearing what the manager said, and nodded respectfully.

   "Yes, my lord."

   Just when Chu Guang took old Luca and two guards and headed towards the east gate, the situation in the refugee camp was not optimistic.

   Looking at the old man curled up in the shack with a sick face and coughing from time to time, Jiuli's face was full of solemn expressions.

   This is the fourth he saw today.

   Even if he is not a doctor, it can be seen that the condition of this old man is not very optimistic.

   "They are sick, most likely typhoid fever," the thin man standing next to Jiuli reminded, "It will be very troublesome if we don't deal with it as soon as possible."

   His name is Jiuxun, he is Jiuli's younger brother and also his helper.

   He was actually called Xun before, but his brother was given a surname by the lord here, and he changed his name accordingly, which is considered a conversion to the local culture.

   Jiuli fell into silence and said after a long while.

   "You can't get them out of here."

"We have no choice. We have no medicine and no doctor. They can't stand it, and they will die." Jiu Xun tried to persuade, "We only got here after half of the dead! Is it just for a few and a half feet? The old man in the coffin—"

   "What do you mean who is in the coffin?"

   A furious voice came from the side.

   I saw a burly man walking out of the crowd, grabbed Jiu Xun by the collar, stared at him and questioned.

   "What do you want to do to Lao Tzu's father? I'm here, I'll see who dares to take him from here!"

   His name is Sun Cheng, a butcher, from a small village of a hundred people in the middle of the valley province.

  Because of the looting of the looters, he had to leave his hometown with his compatriots, abandoning the burnt home, and braved the cold winter to migrate south to find a chance to live.

   Like many people here, they joined this team halfway through. And in order to get here, they, like these people, paid a lot of casualties.

   For the sake of the bowl of hot porridge last night, under the persuasion of Jiuli, he handed over the gun in his hand.

  Sun Cheng originally thought it was all worth it.

   But just now, when he was picking up firewood outside, he heard that there was a circle of people in front of his house.

   Guessing that something bad happened, Sun Cheng immediately left his work and rushed over without saying a word.

  What a coincidence, as soon as he arrived here, he heard what Jiu Xun said, and he was so angry that he wanted to tear the person in front of him to pieces.

   Jiu Xun was silent, looking at him blankly, letting him hold it, but his right hand already touched the dagger in his pocket.

   As soon as he saw his hand, a few people in the crowd stood up immediately.

  Some people were standing behind Jiu Xun, and some people were standing behind Sun Cheng. The two groups of people glared at each other.

   The atmosphere of the scene is tense!

   Obviously, there are more helpers on Jiuxun's side, and almost all of them are around.

   Knowing that if there is a conflict, he must be at a disadvantage, Sun Cheng let go of the hand that grabbed Jiu Xun's collar and squinted at Jiuli next to him.

   "I see it clearly, you guys are going to kill the donkey."

   Jiuli stared at him.

   "I never said that."

   "Never said that before?" Sun Cheng sneered, "I know what you said just now, and everyone around you heard it. Do you need me to repeat it?"

   Jiuli looked at him calmly and said.

"I apologize for my brother's thoughtless remarks, I never said I would give up on anyone, and I have no intention of doing so. Now someone is sick, and to prevent the spread of the plague, we must separate the sick from the healthy . We got here because of unity, didn't we?"

"Unity? Throwing Laozi's father out while Laozi is away is called Unity? You forgot who covered you when you were in the snow! I can see it clearly, you can only see yourself in your eyes!" Sun Cheng raised his chin and stared at him, "I put my words here, my father will not go anywhere, and I will take care of him myself. If you want to take him away, just step over my body. past."

  The atmosphere was deadlocked.

   Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a hesitant voice suddenly came in from the side.

   "Your father is an infection caused by frostbite. If you treat it in time, it will be saved. If it is delayed, he will be amputated."

   Jiuli and Sun Cheng invariably looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a young man in his early twenties standing up from the crowd.

   He is not tall, and his body is not strong. His slightly curly hair is stuck to his forehead, and he looks quite vicissitudes.

   Jiuli didn't have a deep impression of him, thinking that he should have joined their team halfway.

   "Do you understand medicine?"

   The young man nodded.

   "Understood a little bit, although what I'll be mostly... uh, you can understand it as surgery."

  Sun Cheng grabbed his shoulder and said excitedly.

   "Can you cure my father?"

"Yes." The young man swallowed and nodded slowly, "but I need you to help me prepare something... Then, I have to deal with his inflamed wound first. You can move him to me. No? There are no conditions for surgery here."

   Jiuli glanced at his brother and gave him a wink.

   "I have a stretcher there, you can get it."

   Jiu Xun looked reluctant, but he turned around as his brother said.

   The atmosphere at the scene eased a little.

   Seeing that his father was saved, Sun Cheng, who had planned to start before, calmed down for a while.

  The group carried the old man to the place where the young man lived. When the stretcher was put down, Jiuli looked at the young man and asked.

"What's your name?"

   "Yin Fang."

   "I have no impression of you, when did you join the team?"

"It's been a while, probably in the middle of the river valley province, when the snow was not that big." Looking at the wound on the old man's leg, which was frozen and inflamed, Yin Fang clicked his tongue, "It can last until now. What a fate... Can you guys go out for a while? I need a quiet environment."

   Jiuli nodded and took his brother out of the shack.

   Although Sun Cheng couldn't let go of his father, he still followed the doctor's instructions and went out of the shack.

   Although there is no more tension, the atmosphere between the two is still not very harmonious.

   Jiuli was planning to mediate two sentences when an acquaintance from the same town came over.

   "The manager is looking for you at the door, as if he has something to tell you."

   Hearing that the lord here was looking for him, Jiuli nodded immediately.

   "I'll go over here."

  …

  The entrance to the refugee camp.

   Jiuli met the lord here again.

  The same as yesterday, he was wearing a blue exoskeleton, carrying a warhammer and a rifle with a ridiculously long barrel on his back, and he had an unusual aura.

   Jiuli readjusted his evaluation.

   Maybe it didn't take a charge at all, or even the people behind him, and he alone was enough to send them all away.

   At least myself, there is no chance of winning against him.

   It’s great that there was no misunderstanding last night.

   "How are you resting?"

"Thanks to you, my lord," Jiuli said respectfully with a slight sullen face, "We have accommodated everyone and ensured that everyone has a place to live. No one froze to death, and no one died of starvation, even the most noisy My children all slept soundly...Last night was probably the most peaceful night we've had in a while."

   That sounds really comfortable.

  Chu Guang felt a little bit, the fun of those people on the Trailblazer.

   smiled lightly, Chu Guang didn't say much, and glanced around.

   "I'm glad you can get used to it. But...how come the atmosphere here is a little weird."

Jiuli smiled bitterly and said, "There were some conflicts just now... You know, we didn't all come from the same survivor stronghold, and many people joined our team halfway through. There are so many people, it is inevitable There will be friction, trust me, I can handle it well."

  Chu Guang nodded.

   He didn't want to worry about the refugees, and it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for him.

   As long as they abide by the laws they have set, they don’t turn into bloodshed.

   didn't worry anymore, Chu Guang looked at Jiuli and said.

   "I need two butchers to deal with some freshly hunted prey, will any of you slaughter?"

   Jiuli nodded immediately: "Yes, sir, we happen to have a butcher here. If you need it, I will take you to find him."

   "Well, you lead the way."

  Chu Guang followed behind Jiuli, and not long after he came to a shack.

   A burly man was standing at the door of the shack. When he saw Chu Guang coming with Jiuli, a trace of fear appeared in his eyes instinctively, thinking that he was here to trouble him.

   However, what he didn't expect was that Jiuli, who had conflicted with him before, did not mention what happened just now, as if nothing had happened, and recommended himself to the manager next to him in a normal tone.

"...This is the butcher I told you about. His name is Sun Cheng, and he is from the central region of the River Valley. His father's leg was frostbitten and is being treated in the shed. If you can provide him with a room As for the house, I am sure he will be happy to serve you."

  Chu Guang looked slightly surprised.

   "Do you still have a doctor?"

   Jiuli hesitated.

   "The person who treated his father's frostbite was Yin Fang. We met on the way. I'm not sure if he is a doctor, but here he is the only one who knows medical skills, so we can only leave it to him."

  Chu Guang did not speak, but nodded thoughtfully.

interesting.

   I'll talk to him later.

   Putting the doctor's business aside for the time being, Chu Guang looked at the man named Sun Cheng in front of him.

   "I have a job here and I need a butcher to help us butcher the game we catch. I will pay you two silver coins a day and a place to live. Are you interested in this job?"

  Sun Cheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded happily.

   "I am willing to serve you, my lord."

  Chu Guang nodded and looked at Luka next to him.

"give it to you."

  …

   At the same time, the northern part of Changlong Farm was about a kilometer away.

   Several men with guns on their backs were squatting beside a half-collapsed low building, holding monoculars in their hands, looking at the survivors' stronghold in the south.

   The group of refugees they were following camped on the east side of the survivor's stronghold. The situation is bad, if it was just a group of refugees, it would be better to deal with, but now it is not only the refugees, but also the survivors' strongholds that take them in.

   This is a bit awkward.

   "I saw the wall and the sentry...Damn, there are still a lot of weapons there."

"let me see."

   took the binoculars from his companion, and the man with the beard closed half of his eyes and looked towards the survivor's stronghold.

   After observing for a while, his expression gradually became solemn.

   "The wall is at least three meters high, and the soldiers standing guard are carrying guns of the same style behind their backs... This group of people is not easy to deal with."

   His name is Eugene, and he is a mercenary who occasionally works as a bounty hunter.

   Like now.

"How to do?"

   Hearing his companion's question, Eugene thought for a moment and said.

   "Let's negotiate with them first. After all, our goal is only one person. If we can avoid conflict, it is naturally the best."

   Several other people also nodded and agreed with the idea.

   But what they didn't know was that just as they were sneaking their eyes at Changchang Farm, several players were already staring at them not far away.

  The edge of the water: "What are those people doing."

   Construction site boy and brick: "I don't know."

   Debt and big eyes: "Refugees? That's not right, didn't we surrender their guns last night?"

  The edge of the water: "emmm... maybe not a gang?"

   Not a gang?

   That is to say…

   is strange?

  The three little players looked at each other, the smiles on their faces gradually became malicious, and then looked at those few people, as if they saw walking silver coins and contribution points.

   For some reason, Eugene suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

   At this moment, a hound led by a mercenary next to him suddenly barked in one direction.

  The mercenary turned his head sharply and turned his gun to point there.

   "Who's there!"

   Hearing the stern shout, the three little players quickly hid behind the cover.

   Almost at the same time, however, a shuttle of bullets swept the **** in front of them.

   "Hey! Why don't you even say hello?"

   "The looters! The looters for sure!"

   "MMP! Who cares who, they move first, **** him!"
