This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 255 You look like a rich man

  The "Queen of the Night" isn't the only bar in Boulder.

   Just when Robbo was dreaming of dominating the night of Boulder City, the Pirate's Cove Tavern on the other street was also cheering for the good things from the northern suburbs.

   "Spiritual water?! Damn, in this big winter, where did you get so many good things?"

   The man sitting in front of the bar looked at the bottles and jars on the shelf with an expression of envy and desire on his face.

   His name is Ante, the head of the Red Rocket Mercenary Corps, and he has about forty or fifty people under his command, including six Awakeners himself.

  If he had such strength outside the Stone City, he would be more than enough to be a local rich man like an old leech, not to mention being a local emperor.

   But here, he is just a mercenary chief.

   There are too many situations like him, no one will deliberately remember the name of a certain mercenary group and how many people they have.

  Because it doesn't make sense, maybe they won't be here tomorrow, or maybe they'll change their vests and go into something else.

   The bartender standing in front of the bar didn't seem to hear his question at all, just wiping the glass calmly and saying in a leisurely voice.

   "200 chips."

  Ante's eyes widened and he shouted.

   "Two hundred chips?! Just that 200ml bottle? Are you crazy about money?!"

   The bartender glanced at him without any change in the expression on his face.

   "This is a good thing that has not been diluted. At least one kilogram of spirit leaves is needed to extract 200 ml of essence. You should not be stupid enough to suffocate this bottle."

   The intake is relatively safe under 20ml, and many mercenaries will mix it into wine, or dilute it directly with water.

   Generally, 20ml of concentrated spiritual water and 200ml of pure water can make a bottle of spiritual water with the best effect, which can provide two hours of fearless time.

   These two hours are very critical.

   After all, most battles will be over within half an hour, and a good two-hour state is enough to help them a lot.

  I didn’t expect that this undiluted good thing would be sold here.

   A look of surprise appeared on Unter's face.

   If it is a chip per milliliter, this price is really not outrageous, especially in winter, when it is difficult to get a lot of spirit leaves.

   "Give me 5 bottles!"

   The bartender turned around skillfully, took five bottles from the shelf and placed them on the table.

   "Charge you 1000."

  Ante slapped a bag of chips on the table without saying a word.

   "It's all here... Damn, this money is in your pockets before it's hot on me. You have to introduce me to some good work!"

   "Winter is over, do you still have to worry about not living?"

   The bartender smiled faintly, opened the bag and took a look, then put the bag of chips into the drawer under the counter.

   After thinking for a while, he continued.

"There is going to be a fight in Honghe Town. I heard that the price given is not bad. There are 300 red and blue tickets for a six-month contract. Whether it is a man or a woman, you can make money when you ship it to the south. If you can't find a market. You can send it to me, are you interested?"

   "Is there any near-term business?" After accepting the spirit water on the table, Ante lit a cigarette for himself, "Six months is too long. At the beginning of the year, I just want to take a part-time job."

   In two or three weeks if it is fast, and in two months if it is late, the company's caravan will come here.

  This year he plans to try his luck in the province of clouds.

   is not just to make money, but also to change the bionic body for myself and the brothers in the regiment, two pieces of reliable equipment.

   I heard that there is a fierce battle with mutants in the province of clouds. If I can hang around there for two years, I may be able to return home and retire.

  No one can be a mercenary for a lifetime.

  The Awakened will not do either.

   Looking at the man sitting at the bar, the bartender said thoughtfully.

   "Then we can only wait for the wave."

  Ante raised his eyebrows.

   "There will be this year?"

"I don't know, but it's very likely," the bartender shrugged and continued, "After staying up all winter, not only the animals have to forage, but the rotten things need something to chew on. Last month, I had such a big one. Xue, when spring starts, if nothing happens, I will feel strange instead."

  Wave.

  Ante licked the corner of his mouth, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes.

   This is a great opportunity!

  Whenever the "wave" appears, the gentlemen of Boulder City will throw a lot of chips and mobilize those temporary workers to the front line.

  The battle-hardened mercenaries like them will not die in the mouths of the aliens as easily as those cannon fodders.

   Not only that, they can also take the opportunity to make a fortune!

   This money is better than the money of the caravans. After all, the risk factor of fighting aliens on the frontal battlefield is far less than the probability of being coldly shot when fighting predators.

   "Give me another ten bottles!"

  Ante is ready for a big fight.

  If the wave will come this year.

   This kind of tight material will definitely increase in price, it is always right to stock up on the "discount" now.

   The bartender had a happy smile on his face, calmly accepted the chips he handed over, and then took 10 bottles of spirit water and put them on the table.

   "I see people as accurate."

   "You look like someone who can make a fortune!"

  …

  【Task: Open up the market】

  [Content: The products of Teng Teng Hut are popular in the inner city of Boulder City. In order to enrich the spiritual life of the people in the wasteland, we need to develop more sinking products that the general public can also consume. This will both bring us foreign exchange and reduce our industrial costs...]

【award:……】

  【Publisher: Xia Yan】

   Chemical plant in the new industrial area.

  Many players have swiped this quest in the taskbar.

  Although I have been talking about it for a long time, the meaning is actually very easy to understand——

  ' Vault 404 needs more polyamide to make socks of various colors and transparencies, you guys go make them. ’

   However, the focus is not on the content of the quest, or even the rich rewards given out by the quest, but on the issuer of the quest.

   The name...

   Is it really not a bug?

   "Damn it? Boss Xia still has this hobby?!"

   At a glance, he found something unusual in the task panel. Standing next to the production line, the little player shouted out in surprise as if he had discovered a game egg.

   But soon it was discovered that things did not seem so simple.

   "Wait, why does this task description sound like a manager?"

   "Indeed, Boss Xia never talks so much when releasing tasks."

   "!!! Damn it, why does it feel more exciting?!"

   "It's up to him, brothers, it's over, Ollie!"

   "Oak Ok!"

   "Ouch, Black Silk conquers the wasteland!!"

   "If you don't understand, ask, are you planning to put it on your head?"

   The raw materials for the production of polyamide can basically be found in the NPC warehouse. If you can't find it, you can ask the warehouse administrator to place an order, or go directly to the forum to post for help.

   There are more and more players making reservations, and there are even more people watching the fun. Occasionally, there will always be a few big bosses with special punishments passing by.

  Although the production conditions are backward and the production methods are quite retro, a group of small players from chemical industry are still working in full swing. Everyone expresses their opinions and expresses their opinions and discusses the production methods that are more suitable for wasteland.

  Although the chemical industry has been seriously saturated in reality, in this game, they are all properly scarce talents, and they are big men in the eyes of players and wastelanders.

   Both life professional players and combat professional players have to admit it.

  Cooking and beating nests, that's what I do.

   But this, I really may not be able to do it.

   In fact, it is not just the chemical factory that received the task, the "Myth of Wealth" of the Niu Ma Squad and the Teng Teng Hut has stimulated every player who has read the strategy post and even cloud players.

  An endless stream of brain holes emerged one after another on the forum, and were brought into the game by a group of players with strong hands-on ability.

   Like mosquitoes.

   This guy is always restless.

  Especially after his "Anti-Claw Crab Thunder" was criticized on the forum, this guy was even more painful and decided to make something useful.

   Without bragging, he really did it.

   That is a detachable steel plate specially made for the KV-1 exoskeleton, which can perfectly defend against bullets shot to the chest.

   Among various bulletproof materials, steel plate is always the most cost-effective choice. The only disadvantage is that it is heavy, and the sputtered shrapnel may injure soldiers' jaws and wrists.

   However, for exoskeletons, this is not a problem at all, as long as the design is a little clever, most of the load can be distributed to the skeletal bracket. The problem of shrapnel sputtering can also be solved by designing a collar.

   This kind of "hard individual armor" may not have so much significance in 21st century warfare, but it does have a miraculous effect in the wasteland dominated by street fighting.

  Especially when dealing with predators, no one can predict which direction the attack will come from, let alone what equipment the opponent has.

  Many mercenaries will weld steel plates for their KV-1, but generally there are no standards, and it is completely based on their own experience.

   This standardized detachable part might really sell well?

   Not just mosquitoes.

  The entire industrial area is trying to find a way to scoop up the wool of the "new map".

  Chu Guang was both gratified and happy about this.

  It is gratifying that these little players have a stronger understanding of the version, and they can save a lot of micro-manipulation and focus more on macro decisions.

   Fortunately, the land reclamation work has come to an end in the past two days. He can calmly end the expansion, settle the task rewards for those hard-working young players, and then arrange the next spring ploughing.

  Otherwise, everyone will go to the neighbor's house to harvest the wool. I'm afraid no one will grow this place...

  …

   "Mom, I'm back!!!"

  The north entrance of Changchang Farmhouse.

   A caravan full of goods stopped at the unloading point at the door. Qian Duo found Liszt and handed the ledger to his boss, while Liszt found Luca, began to calculate the value of these materials, and discussed what to use for settlement.

   Looking at the reclaimed field in the west, the canyon that had just rested was fleeing moles, and he couldn't close his mouth in surprise on the spot.

   "...Let me go, the map has been updated?!"

   He has only been out for half a month.

   came back to look like this!

  Not only the 10,000 mu of land that has been reclaimed, but also the yellow corn cobs lying in the open space at the north entrance to dry.

   Good guy.

   This corn is roughly a few dozen tons!

   This is amazing too!

Just as    came out of the granary, Makabazi saw Brother Mole, who looked like a refugee, with the same surprised expression on his face.

   "Fuck, Mole?! Are you fleeing?"

   Canyon Fleeing Mole rolled his eyes.

   "Fuck off, I didn't do this to find the map for you."

  Makabazi looked at him strangely and continued to ask.

   "Why did you go so long this time? I remember that at most half a week is enough."

   Fang Chang, the dog Ou Huangdu, made a second trip to the Boulder City!

   It's too slow to go back and forth every two weeks!

  The canyon was fleeing Mole and said helplessly: "The original plan was to come back in a week, but whoever said the best about the road, it would have taken another two or three days to arrive. This is already relatively fast!"

  Makabazi said in surprise: "What happened to you? Dead Claw?"

  The fleeing mole rat in the canyon: "No, what we have encountered is more exciting than the alien species, and there is already a fight in Honghe Town."

  Makabazi: "A fight?! With whom?"

"Who else can I go with? The **** sticks in the entire river valley province are just those people. Before I left, I heard from the NPC of the caravan that the two thousand-strong teams of the Snake Clan had already blocked the town of Honghe. The passage to the north and west, it is said that the third thousand-man team is on the way, and plans to cut off the road to the east."

"Of course, there is no weakness in Honghe Town. Several mine owners and business owners joined forces, hired more than 20 mercenary groups, and trained a large number of soldiers, known as an army of 10,000 people... But in fact I feel Not even half."

   "To be on the safe side, we had to detour south...to a settlement called Garbage City, and then turn back northwest...like this."

  The Mole made a "V" in the air with his index finger, and the itinerary of their return trip was roughly like this on the map.

   But compared to his itinerary, Makabazi was obviously more curious about another thing.

   "Wait! Where is the trash city?"

   Is it a hidden map? !

   "Uh, what do you say? It's a small survivor stronghold. I'll draw it on the forum later. Anyway, it feels much smaller than Boulder City, and it's farther than Red River Town from there."

   Having said that, Mole smiled.

   "This is also what surprised me the most. I didn't expect the map of this game to be bigger than I thought before! Some of the survivor strongholds in the background boards have already been installed."

   "I make a bold assumption. Maybe the ideal city and other maps in the background board have already been updated in the game, but some of the content has not been completed, so the planning did not show much fanfare."

  If this assumption is correct, if you go east from here, you might actually be able to reach the legendary ideal city.

   However, there is still a problem. There is no archive on the way, and there is no VM signal. Moreover, I am unfamiliar with life, and it is still a bit whimsical to walk on two legs.

   Listening to Mole's story from afar, Makabazi had an envious expression on his face.

   At this moment, the manager, wearing a power armor, walked over from the direction of the north gate of Changlong Farm.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

   Looking at the mole whose whole person had turned into a refugee, after Chu Guang settled his task, he added another sentence.

   "Go back and take a shower."

   This taste is too great!

   Brother Mole scratched his head embarrassedly. He probably knew that he had a bad smell on his body, so he decided to go to the south gate and wait for the bus.

   The big and small battles along the way have made him a full level, but he has never been able to find a save point, which makes him anxious.

  Chu Guang looked at the supplies that the caravan was unloading.

   In addition to the rifles that Liszt bought from himself, there was also a batch of his own, which was sold by Liszt on a consignment basis according to 28%.

   This batch of arms has been exchanged for nearly 50 tons of mineral resources, 20 tons of shellac meal used to improve soil fertility, and 25 double-headed cattle.

  Liszt took the apprentice with a lot of money and walked towards Chu Guang.

   "Nearly 70% of these goods belong to you, and I plan to settle the remaining 30% with rifles. I will continue to go to Honghe Town to exchange some raw materials from there."

  Although it is also a good choice to switch to Spirit Leaf, it is easier to turn into chips, but the caravan that went to Boulder City has not returned yet.

   couldn't keep his caravan waiting here.

   Before Qian Lai came back, he planned to make another trip to Honghe Town to exchange for the scarce resources in Changchang Farm.

   It will be the same to settle with Spirit Leaf at that time, and you can exchange more than now!

   After listening to Liszt's plan, Chu Guang nodded and continued.

   "I'll give you a list when the delivery of supplies is completed at the warehouse. In addition to rifles, we also sell other good things."

  Liszt raised his eyebrows.

"for example?"

  Chu Guang said with a slight smile.

"Death Howl rockets, Hell's Breath motorcycles, 88mm mortars, 20mm lance anti-tank rifles, and all kinds of corresponding shells... These things have been tested on the battlefield, and we used them to beat up the north side. Marauders, and they're all ready to beat them up again."

   "You can tell the friends in Honghe Town that they can trust us completely. The Bone-chewing tribe is everyone's trouble, and we will support their war with practical actions."

   Selling rifles and bullets can’t make money from selling cannons. The former can be rubbed out by hand, while the latter can’t be easily rubbed out by a few small workshops.

  The 37mm "heavy lance" has been developed, and its power is more than a little bit stronger than the 20mm "lance", and the penetration depth of 100 meters can reach more than 70mm!

   This power is more than enough for ordinary light and medium armor!

   Not only the products of No. 81 Steel Plant, but also the products of Goblin Technology are quite powerful. The accuracy of rockets has shrunk from one kilometer error in the early days to within two hundred meters.

   If you want to further improve the power and accuracy, you can only test it on the battlefield.

  Red River Town is undoubtedly an excellent weapon testing ground. The distance of hundreds of kilometers makes it difficult for the two sides to have a direct conflict, and the Bone-biting Tribe is the common enemy of all the survivors in the River Valley Province.

  Since some people are willing to pay for the military industry in Vault 404, Chu Guang certainly will not miss this opportunity to open up sales for his own factory.

   Not to mention that this buyer still holds a lot of human resources and mines.

   Maybe this battle was going on, so he bought Red River Town.

   Hearing that Chu Guang still has so many good things here, Liszt's eyes lit up, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

   "With your promise, the mine owners in Honghe Town will definitely die of joy! They are tortured by the armored pickups of those barbarians, and your anti-armor experience and weapons will definitely come in handy!"

  Chu Guang smiled slightly.

   "We don't just supply weapons, we supply well-trained soldiers and instructors, and we can even sign a long-term employment contract if they need it."

   Liszt said excitedly.

   "I'll ask them for you, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

   Vault 404 defeated the Snake Clan once, and it has long been rumored.

   From Liszt's standpoint, of course, I hope that the longer this war is fought, the better, and only in this way can he earn more chips.

   Hearing Liszt's promise, a happy smile appeared on Chu Guang's face.

   "I'll just send two ten-man teams over with you."

The    battle line is a bit longer, but there is a dormant cabin as a save point, which is not a big problem.

   Being able to contain the Snake Clan in Red River Town is better than facing the two troubles of the Snake Clan and the Tooth Clan at the same time.

not only.

  The players got the task, the people of Honghe Town got safety, and he got the resources of Honghe Town.

  If the cooperation is pleasant and operated properly, Vault 404 could even establish a permanent military base there in the future.

   This wave is more than a win-win situation.

   It's like Qin Shihuang touched the switch and won!
