This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 287 You are already a mature player, it's time to learn to keep crystals by yourself

   To Fang Chang's surprise, he guessed the ending, but missed the beginning.

   The two versions were not used at all. The Beta 0.1 version was just launched, and the hibernation pod was on the shelves of the NPC store.

  As long as the contribution level reaches "Intermediate Citizen", you can make an appointment to purchase in the VM, and support home delivery service.

Yes.

  If you want to buy a dormant pod, you must first have a piece of land.

   Since the land in the restoration area is collectively owned by the new alliance, it is obviously not feasible to find a piece of land and claim it as your own.

   But this is very easy for intermediate citizens. Most players will buy a piece of land of 50 square meters and run their own small home or small shop after reaching the intermediate level.

  Some professional life players who have registered business units can also place dormant cabins on commercial or industrial land.

   There is still a lot of room for choice.

  The announcement of the new version was released in less than half an hour. Someone soon discovered the change, and some players in the square started to make a fuss.

   "Sleep pod... scum! Two thousand silver coins!?"

   "It's equivalent to a miner I-type exoskeleton!"

   "The contribution level of the subscription requirement has reached the medium level of citizens...hiss, 10,000 contribution points! Slip away, I'll still use the public archive points."

   "Mom... how long does it take to save money?"

   "If there is no server activity or faction battle, the average daily income of LV10 in normal gameplay can reach 100 silver, although there are some people who can reach 200, 300+... but they are all bosses."

   "Don't panic, your liver will be done!"

  2000 silver coins sounds like a lot, but for players who really reach LV10, it is not unacceptable.

   With the establishment of the Hunter Guild, the proportion of quest income in the total income of players has gradually dropped from 90% to 66%.

  Many commissions for hunting aliens or sweeping buildings issued by non-core NPCs can even achieve a one-time income of 1000+.

   These NPCs are usually production units such as the DiDiwei Food Processing Factory, the Lister Factory, and the Bach Factory, and some are farmers from the farm or foreign traders.

   However, compared to the former, the latter has limited economic strength and does not give many silver coins, mainly for regional prestige or physical rewards.

The significance of the    Hunter Guild is probably to review the commissioned content and prizes, and release them to the players in a centralized manner, which is far more efficient than the players harassing NPCs one by one with lame words.

   After announcing the start of the celebration, Chu Guang did not go downstairs immediately, but stood by the window on the third floor like an NPC, looking at the players downstairs with a smile on his face.

   Xiao Qi, who was following his calf, quietly raised the camera.

"Owner."

   Chu Guang, who was in a good mood, smiled.

"What's wrong?"

   Xiaoqi said in a low voice.

   "I hear a lot of players complaining that the hibernation pod is too expensive."

  Chu Guang said calmly.

   "Normal, expensive is right."

   There are only two black boxes for the production of dormant pods, and the maximum production capacity per day is 40~48. It is impossible for everyone to have their own dormant pods.

   The first thing he needs to ensure is the collective interest, that is, the public save point can get enough dormant cabins, so that the vast majority of players, especially new players, can save normally.

   As for the dormant pods sold, the proceeds can be used to subsidize the production of training pods to recruit more new players.

   In fact, not only the dormant pod, but also the training pod as the resurrection point, he was also hung in the NPC shop.

   It’s just that the cultivation cabin is different from the dormant cabin. As a tool for synthesizing clones, each game account can only hold one.

   Therefore, the so-called purchase is not to give the player a new one, but to allow the player to take his own training capsule out of the shelter.

   At the same time, the training cabin is equivalent to the existence of the "base crystal" in the MOBA game. Once destroyed, no matter how strong the game character is, it will have to stop.

   Whether to bring the resurrection point out of the safe area.

  The choice is yours!

   Looking at the price of the training pod in the VM, the canyon escaped mole rat took a breath.

   "Ten thousand silver coins..."

   This is too exaggerated!

   is equivalent to a light cavalry exoskeleton!

  Miner I can buy 5 units, or KV-1 can buy 12.5 units!

   Zhang Hai leaned over and glanced at Brother Mole's VM, and then looked at his own, his eyes instantly widened: "Wait, why can't I see it on my VM?"

  The Elf King Fugui scratched the back of his head: "I can do it here too. It seems that it will only be displayed when the intermediate citizen is above... Although it can only be purchased after the senior citizen."

  Irena: "Isn't the key not 10,000 silver coins? Only ghosts buy it...hands are funny."

  Zhang Hai didn't say anything, and silently counted with his fingers.

   A bowl of ramen is 6 silver coins, and he also earns 4 silver coins, which means... 2500 bowls? !

  Fuck!

   Zhang Hai's eyes widened even more after he figured it out.

   This is why you can't rub the rolling pin with bald skin!

   Canyon Fleeing Mole touched his chin and analyzed.

"Not just 10,000 silver coins, but also maintenance costs. The training cabin is different from the dormant cabin. It needs to be turned on 24 hours a day. The power is 1KW in the standby state and 10KW in the working state... This electricity bill is supported in the shelter. No, but if you take the training capsule out of the shelter, I'm afraid you will have to do it yourself."

  The battery of the culture chamber can only store power for 72 hours.

  Irena asked curiously, "What happens if the power goes out?"

   "It's written above, which will cause the character to coma." The Canyon Fleeing Mole pointed to the VM, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, you can't say that a fool would buy it. I think the significance of this thing is more about moving."

   Zhang Hai was stunned: "Moving?"

   Mole nodded.

"Well, isn't the Beta 0.1 version the establishment of a trade union and a corps system? In the future, the activity area for players will definitely not only be Qingquan City. With the expansion of the game content, new shelters and even recovery areas will definitely be unlocked. It is impossible to die. You have to walk hundreds of kilometers for three days at a time.”

   There is no map boundary setting in this game, but the player basically can't go too far, one is that the language is blocked outside the communication range, and the other is that it is too far from the resurrection point.

   Especially the latter, it is easy to put the wasteland party into a dilemma.

  If you bring good equipment, you may not be able to bring it back in the past, and you may not go far without it.

   No matter how strong it is, it is impossible to be online 24 hours a day, and there is no safe area for archives. Once the helmet is taken off and then put on, the revival CD will start directly. Wouldn't it be cracked on the spot!

   But if you can buy resurrection points yourself, there is no such problem. As long as 10,000 silver coins, you can take the resurrection coffin board with you.

expensive?

   Compared with the income from land reclamation, is 10,000 silver coins and a 10KW generator a thing?

   Mole felt that he had guessed the plan's intention.

   If it is just for the convenience of archiving, there is no need to keep a training pod at home, and it is enough to buy a dormant pod for use as a bed.

  This training cabin worth 10,000 yuan is mainly prepared for players who plan to go to new maps to open up wasteland or even stay for a long time!

   Zhang Hai shook his head and left.

   "Hey! I can't afford it!"

  This ramen looks cheap.

  The Elf King Fugui studied the VM for a while, and suddenly found the plate that Irena was holding, and glanced inside curiously.

   "What are you eating."

   Snail meat?

   looks weird.

   I didn’t expect that Lao Na would occasionally eat some normal food.

   "Want a bite?" Irena pricked one with a toothpick and generously handed it over.

   Elf King Fugui stretched out his hand to take it, picked it with a toothpick, picked out the meat from the shell, and looked curiously close.

  The milky white meat looks quite delicious, with some strange seasonings sprinkled on the surface, but it still smells strange.

   "It tastes a little weird."

   After chewing the snail meat in his mouth for a while, the rich man frowned and thought for a moment before giving a pertinent evaluation.

   "But it's okay."

  Irena had a happy smile on her face.

   "That's necessary, can you still cheat on your brother?"

  The Elf King Fugui asked curiously, "By the way, what is this thing? It doesn't feel like the taste of snails."

   Irena coughed dryly.

   "I didn't say it was a snail... Don't care about these details."

   Elf King Fugui: "No, no, no, I think it is necessary to understand."

   "You really want to know?"

   "Hurry up, stop talking nonsense!"

   Seeing Brother Fugui insisting, Irena smiled embarrassedly.

   "Strictly speaking, it should be a snail."

   Elf King Fugui: "???"

  …

The    celebration continued until the second half of the night.

   And the highlight of the whole festival, in addition to the talent show, is the old traditional food competition!

This time, not only players can participate, but aboriginal people can also sign up for the competition, but compared to the players' brains, most of the aborigines who have just eaten their fill came to make up the number, and those who mustered up the courage to sign up Not many.

  The three champions of this food competition have been released. Among them, "the most popular food among players" is still the chef who knows the players' taste buds best, and won the laurel.

  200g of black ring snake meat is boiled to remove the fishy smell, drained and sprinkled with salt, pepper, minced garlic and sauteed until fragrant, add half a liter of water and simmer on low heat for half an hour, and finally add 50g of sage grass and tixiang.

  Like the previous monster rib, the scrambled egg brother did not hide it, but he generously disclosed the recipe, and even published a tutorial on the official website.

   As for the most popular food among the aborigines, it is still the finger biscuits made by the crow boss.

   She coated the flour with artisanal butter and sugar, baked it into the shape of a bullet, and sprinkled the position of the bullet with chocolate bought from the manager.

  Although many players complained that "it's too tired to be better than mushroom soup", but it is deeply loved by Xiaoyu, Xia Boss, Qiucai Qiuye sisters and other female NPCs and alien NPC Bachi.

   He stuffed the biscuits into his mouth from under his helmet, and there was a moving whimper from under the tin can.

   "Only then can I feel alive!"

   And when you're drunk!

   Without any hesitation, he gave a high score of 10 out of 10!

  Heya gave the "living specimen" a sideways glance.

   "Have you ever considered that it's not that you want to eat sugar, but the slime molds that live on you want to eat it."

   The whimper of happiness came to an abrupt end.

  The silence of the tin can makes people feel distressed.

  Yin Fang, who was sitting beside him, couldn't stand it any longer and sighed helplessly. .

   "Don't be like this... Brother Ba finally found a little sense of being alive."

   "Am I the only one who thinks this thing is too sweet? It feels like the blood has become sticky..." Heya muttered and shook her head, only ate one piece, and never touched the rest.

  She is probably the only one among all NPCs who can't accept sweets, especially the carbohydrates coated in grease and baked together, and sprinkled with thick chocolate sauce.

  Chu Guang gave her a strange look.

   "Is there such an exaggeration?"

  Heya said helplessly.

   "Maybe I'm more sensitive to sugar, but I still prefer foods with a lower metabolic load, higher vitamin content, and healthier ingredients."

  Chu Guang: "For example?"

  Hya: "The internal organs of animals."

  Chu Guang: "..."

  Cholesterol and protein don't need to be metabolized?

   Where the **** is this healthy?

   Xiaoyu, who was sitting on the jury's seat, kept looking eagerly at the biscuits in front of Heya's table, but was too embarrassed to ask for it.

   Big brother Chu told her to eat less sugar. I heard that it will affect her height. The sugar intake today has almost exceeded the standard, and she can no longer eat it.

  Xia Yan was not polite to Heya. After asking for permission, he happily exchanged plates with her, stuffing cookies into his mouth happily.

   She doesn't have that much psychological burden.

   Anyway, she doesn't grow meat in anything she eats, she's used to it for so many years.

   As for the food most popular with managers, it is beyond the expectations of all players.

   It turned out to be just a simple bottle of sparkling water with a little sugar, and a "unique formula" that might exist.

  Fat House Happy Water?

   What's so good about this stuff!

   The aborigines were not too surprised, but they were just curious about the magic power of the bottle of drink held in the manager's hand, and it was actually favored by the manager.

   I saw the manager wearing the blue power armor, standing in front of everyone, pointing to the glass bottle in his hand and saying.

   "Nuka-Cola!"

   "This is the best drink I've ever had!"

  Because besides the players and NPCs, Chu Guang deliberately raised the volume and said it again in a couple of words.

   At this time, the players on the scene suddenly reacted.

   Good guy!

  The manager personally brought the goods? !

   But is this ad so hard?

   Mosquito looked remorseful.

   "Sloppy! I should have thought... this cheap and happy thing will sell out in the wasteland!"

   At present, there are sugar factories in the industrial area. Through a series of simple processes such as boiling and drying the red beets imported from Brown Farm, white sugar can be precipitated, and the price is quite cheap.

   The cost of this bottle of soda is only 0.5 silver coins!

   If he were to sell this, he would have to earn 3 silver coins at least!

   Gu Feng, who had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke up.

   "By the way, who is the winner of this prize?"

   Several people in the herd of cattle and horses looked at each other.

"do not know."

   "Go to the forum and ask?"

   It seems that no one has predicted that they intend to get the Happy Water from the Fat House in the wasteland, and no one has jumped out to accept the award at the scene.

   Is it an easter egg left by the official?

  If it wasn't made by a certain player, then there is only one explanation.

The    celebration continued until the early hours of the morning. After all the event points were collected, players returned to the shelter or the save point on the surface one after another and went offline.

   No matter how high you are in the game, the body in reality has to eat.

   As for the aborigines, they had plans to stay overnight.

   After all the programs of the celebration are over, many people are still spontaneously celebrating this extraordinary day, and they don’t end until the sky is bright.

  From now on, the new alliance is officially established!

   The first restoration area extends to Yuanxi Town in the north, Qingquan City Fifth Ring Road in the south, Yumu District in the west, and the former site of Gongong Town in the east.

   covers nearly a thousand square kilometers of land!

   At the same time, a brand new city-state is being built in this wild wasteland under the name of "Dawn". And just like its name, this rising sun is glowing with the light of dawn.

  The northern suburbs have never been so lively as they are today.

  The people who live here have never been more excited and excited than they are today.

   "Let's toast the founding of the new alliance!"

   "Cheers to the great manager!"

"cheers!"

   North District of Dawn City, the people who stayed at Changchang Farm also stayed up all night.

  Highway Town Hotel, there was a lot of people talking, and the sound of clinking glasses and beer foam almost overturned the ceiling.

   To celebrate this great day, Old Hooker generously announces that all night long, free beer and 20% off BBQ.

   Until dawn!

  For hotel guests only!

   Of course, no one will be polite to him. The boss here can make a lot of silver coins from these wastelanders.

  Many hotel guests even came back from the park after joining in the excitement of the festival, just for the free beer.

   A roomful of merchants and mercenaries, one or two of them were so drunk that they fell asleep in the lobby on the first floor.

  So many people were drinking too much, and the waiters in the store couldn't handle it at all. They simply closed the door and left someone behind the counter to watch. They just fell asleep in the lobby and woke up naturally.

   Noon the next day.

  Sun Shiqi shook his heavy iron head and got up from the table.

   I don't know if it's his own delusion, he always feels that today's beer is easier to get drunk than before, and he can't stand it after only two trips to the toilet.

   "I bet...he mixed other things in the wine." Apparently he wasn't the only one who thought this, and the guests at the next table muttered.

  Sun Shiqi took the bill from the waiter, glanced at it, and his face suddenly turned green.

   "Isn't the drink free?"

   the waiter said softly.

   "Yes sir, but yesterday you ate 6 skewers of charcoal grilled squirrel and 12 skewers of double-headed beef... and a monster rib."

  Sun Shiqi squinted his eyes, carefully read the small print on the back of the bill, and then slowly came to his senses.

   These dishes were indeed ordered by him.

   Especially the monster rib at the back, he had never heard that monster meat could be eaten.

   But what he didn't expect was that this thing actually cost 30 silver coins! According to the current exchange rate, it will take 15 chips to convert!

   This is a money grab!

   He has never eaten such expensive food!

   But maybe it was because of the small fortune he made in the last transaction, and his mentality has changed a little bit, but he is not as painful as he used to be.

   The hard days have been long enough.

  When he first started trading, in order to save money, he completely lived on nutritional creams, and even the mercenary he hired ate better than him.

   Now I finally have money.

   It’s time to be nice to yourself too.

   "Put it on my account."

   A happy smile appeared on the waiter's face.

   "Okay, please sign sir."

  Sun Shiqi picked up the pen and signed his name on it, and threw him a silver coin change as a tip.

   In the thanks and blessings from the waiter, Sun Shiqi, who squinted his eyes, walked out of the hotel door with his head held high, facing the bright sunshine.

  The day of delivery has been pushed and pushed again and again, and finally it is the day of handover.

  The trade station compensated him for the right to use 100 square meters of storage, which is located in the warehouse area next to the trade station for two months.

  Sun Shiqi is quite satisfied with this compensation.

   These people are still very reasonable, at least more reasonable than the factory in Boulder City. Similarly, if they fail to deliver the goods in case of an accident, the factory in Boulder City will not give any compensation.

There is nothing anyone can do about    waves.

   understandable.

   Looking at the boy who was going through the delivery procedures with him, Sun Shiqi asked curiously.

   "Why did the booth change today?"

   "Shuanghe is off today. We have one day off a week. We can discuss which day to take off." The boy said with a smile.

   "Okay, wish her a happy holiday for me, I really envy you, we are open all year round." Sun Shiqi casually flattered, and suddenly noticed the construction outside the trading station.

   A group of people in ragged clothes are under the surveillance of the guards, two groups of two are holding heavy steel and laying on the wood, and beating around.

   Those should be prisoners of war.

  Sun Shiqi clicked his tongue and asked casually.

   "What's going on there?"

  The boy glanced over there and said with a smile.

   "You said there, it seems to be called a railway! It was recently repaired from an industrial area, and I heard that it is used to transport goods."

   Railway? !

  Sun Shiqi's face showed an unexpected expression.

There are a lot of waste vehicles on the wasteland, and steel bars and steel beams are also very common, but those rusted scrap steel obviously cannot be directly used for waste. Turn them into something that can come in handy.

   This may not sound difficult, but in fact it tests the overall industrial capabilities of a survivor colony.

  If he remembered correctly, a kilometer of railways would require hundreds of tons of steel at least.

  Is it said that the steel production of these people is rich enough to be used to build railways?

   He didn't even notice these days!

   The young man in front of him thought he was making a fuss. As early as when the industrial zone had just been relocated, the steel factory was producing those tracks.

  Although he still doesn't know what the use of that thing is, he believes that the decision of the manager will definitely not be wrong.

   "You all picked up so much steel from the ruins?"

   "Half and half, like over there."

  The boy pointed to the stall not far away, and saw more than twenty two-headed cows crowded in front of the stall. Facing the salesman's promotion, the person in charge of the caravan was obviously lost in thought, obviously already moved.

"An electric mule is only 50,000 silver coins, and now it is 10% off. With more advanced and better transportation, you can travel between Honghe Town and Dawn City faster. The demand for steel is very strong now, do you really not think about it? ?"

  Sun Shiqi didn't speak. He noticed the brand on the back of the two-headed cow, and a hint of vigilance gradually appeared in his eyes.

   Horseshoe Chamber of Commerce!

   He recognized the sign.

   One-third of the iron ore and one-fifth of the slave business in Honghe Town are in their hands. Although they do not have their own iron ore, they have a good relationship with many slave owners because they can provide a stable "labor force", and the salesmen are all over the southern part of the entire river valley province.

  Thinking of this, Sun Shiqi was still a little relaxed, but suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

   It has been nearly a month and a half since the restoration of the trade route, and he is obviously not the only one who is eyeing this fat piece of meat in the northern suburbs.

   There will definitely be more and more people coming here to do business in the future!

   He must hurry!

  …

  Including the next day's holiday, the celebration lasted for two full days.

  According to the report compiled by Xiaoqi, the total cost of this celebration reached 61231 silver coins. In addition to the consumption of food and drinks, this also includes the benefits of lottery for players.

   In addition, because some of the prizes were drawn by Chu Guang with his own points, they were not counted in the total cost.

   However, it would be a big mistake to think he would lose.

   Although these more than 60,000 silver coins were spent, they were also spent on the players and NPCs, and the players and NPCs were his people, so those silver coins were just to accompany him in a different form.

   In addition to the last advertisement he advertised, the merchants who came to inquire about the "Nuka-Cola" sparkling water after the celebration almost smashed the warehouse door.

   The only twenty boxes in stock were sold out.

   After tasting a bottle, many people paid the deposit without saying a word. In just one morning, the order was placed a month later!

   As for who came up with such a genius idea?

   Of course it was Chu Guang himself.

   He made sparkling water a long time ago, but recently he was suffering from a headache due to the budget problem, and only then did he think that this thing could be used for export to earn foreign exchange.

   At present, this product is produced by the "Nuclear" soda factory wholly owned by the Refuge. If he hadn't thought of a certain arrogant riddleman, Chu Guang couldn't help but praise himself for his genius.

   Of course, these are all trivial things.

   If you really want to fundamentally solve the "budget problem", it is not enough to rely on one or two best-selling items.

  The scientific research team managed by Yin Fang has locked a shelter in Dongcheng District.

  According to the records, the shelter was opened fifty years ago, number 401.

   Considering that he had never heard any news about the sanctuary, Chu Guang had reason to believe that it had been deserted, and the people there did not know where to go.

   But it doesn’t matter if it’s abandoned.

   As long as the controllable fusion reactor is still good, as long as he can find fuel rods that match the model, he will have a way to reuse it!

   For example, throw hundreds of training pods in the past.

   It just happened to increase the presence of Vault 404 in the east of Qingquan City, and prepare for the expansion of the recovery area.

   In addition to solving the problems of the players, there are also the problems of the aborigines that need to be solved.

   Forming a new alliance is not just a slogan, but a promise.

At present, the laws of the new alliance are only implemented in Dawning City, and in addition to Dawning City, there are many small and medium-sized survivor settlements in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City and even in the large wasteland outside the city, which are suffering from alien species and predators. intrusion.

   In addition, there are some stubborn feudal lords in the recovery area who need to recognize the situation clearly and make a choice between conscious and passive conscious.

  Chu Guang plans to use a month to deal with these historical problems.

   However, what Chu Guang did not expect was that the person who first recognized the situation and made changes was actually his old neighbor Brown...

   (Thanks to the leader of "Jijia Luoyu" for the reward!! I'm sorry brothers, it's a little late T.T today)
