This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 367 After all, it is the thing of an ideal city, and there is a reason for it to be expensive

  【7.Fix a few bugs...】

   Read the update announcement.

  Ye Wei roughly refined the content of the announcement. In short, more bionic meanings have been launched.

   There are some imported from Boulder City.

   is also imported from Ideal City.

   In addition, a more advanced title of "Apprentice Knight" has been added.

   With Aguang's ability to urinate, you don't have to think about it, and there will definitely be "intermediate knights" and "advanced knights" in the future.

  Is this a COS Brotherhood of Steel?

   However, it doesn't really matter what you call this kind of thing, it's just a gimmick like a penguin's membership level.

   What if you get the titles of "Duke" and "Emperor" in the game?

   is not a real emperor.

   The key is to see what benefits Ah Guang gave.

   "1,000 square meters of land, and the right to purchase power armor...Fuck!"

   "When did Gouguang become so generous!?"

   After reading the permissions of the new contribution level, Ye Wei, who was sitting in front of the computer, was stunned.

   He couldn't wait to stand up, go back to the bedroom, put on the helmet and go into the game to see what the updated power armor from the NPC store looks like.

   But after seeing the requirement of 100,000 contribution points, he immediately leaned back on the computer chair like a deflated ball.

  One hundred thousand...

   is equivalent to doubling the threshold of "senior citizen"!

   When will this be so bad?

   Ye Wei remembered that his contribution point was probably in the early 80s, which was already the top level in the entire server. Lao Bai may be a little taller than him, but not by much.

   This means that he wants to reach the threshold of the knight title, which is equivalent to having two more intermediate citizens (1W contribution points) to come out.

   [Kneeling and begging Brother Guang to come up with a silver coin exchange function! QAQ]

  Although he knew that this "balance-destroying" function was impossible to appear in "Wasteland Online", Ye Wei typed this line on the screen and posted it in the comment area below the update announcement.

   However, what he didn't expect was that he got 100 more likes in an instant.

   Ye Wei was shocked.

   Good guy.

   I’m fine with ranting.

   Do you have so many silver coins?

   At this time, a shout came from the living room outside the study.

   "Brother, it's noon! It's time to order takeout!"

   "Right now."

"What are you looking at?"

   sneaked into the study quietly, walked behind the elder brother, Ye Jiu curiously looked at the screen, but didn't see anything that shouldn't be seen.

   seems to be just an ordinary webpage.

   "The Beta 0.3 version was updated just now... By the way, don't you pay attention to the forum?" Ye Wei said casually.

   "What is there to pay attention to?" Ye Jiu wondered.

   "...Forget it, it's okay not to pay attention."

  Although he wanted to say that the forum is the essence of "Wasteland Online", but thinking of those strange chat contents, he suddenly felt that it was good that the old girl was not interested in that forum.

   "Brother."

   "Why."

   "By the way, why can't you be online during the day?" Ye Jiu, who suddenly talked about the game, finally made up her mind not to think about the game, was greedy again, and said pitifully.

   "Because the game character also sleeps."

   There is nothing wrong with this setting.

  Although he is already an adult, Ye Wei also feels that there is nothing wrong with limiting his online time. After all, if everyone can be online 24 hours a day, then the final game will become a contest between the liver emperor and the liver emperor.

   "Damn..."

   Ye Wei gave his sister a strange look.

   "By the way, don't you not play games?"

   Ye Jiu blinked.

   "Huh? Did I say that?"

   Looking at the foolish sister, Ye Wei rolled his eyes.

   "...Okay, I didn't say that."

   He is not in the mood to quarrel with the old girl at the moment, and now he just wants to wait for Elder Fang's version to understand.

   But speaking of which, Fang Chang has been mysterious lately. He doesn't go online until noon every day, and he doesn't know what to do in the game.

  Ye Wei picked up the phone, clocked in the cows and horses, and glanced at them.

   happened to be.

   As soon as he clicked in, Fang Chang's message jumped out.

   And there are two in a row.

   "Beta 0.3 is out! I just saw the update!"

   "Fuck! Power armor! Brother Guang is awesome!"

   It wasn't just Ye Wei who squatted in the group.

   But the focus of everyone in the group does not seem to be on the game.

   Gale: "Twelve o'clock."

   Quit smoking: "It was half past eleven yesterday?"

  Old Bai: "It's odd. Usually, when the version is updated, this guy is the first to bubble up. Today, he is the last to know. (Smile

  The Dagger of Murder: "Elder Brother Fang, how is the Battle of Reach?"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "When are you going to get married? (funny

   All the good names are taken by the dog: "Have you thought about the name of the good child? (funny

   Square length: "???"

   "Fuck off, I'm just doing a mission in Boulder City, what are you thinking?"

   It's okay to do the task.

   Ye Wei smiled and sent a funny emoji.

   "I almost believed it!"

   Fang Chang didn't seem to intend to continue entanglement on this issue, and quickly changed the subject.

   "I just took a look at the posts on the forum... Let's just say the conclusion. The focus of this update should be on the communication between the alliance and various forces."

  Quit Smoking: "Communication?"

  Tomato scrambled eggs: "Is this communication serious? (smiling

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Did it go deep? (funny

Fang Chang: "Bum, old dirty turtle crawling! I'm talking about serious things, what are you thinking? In short, after the end of the 'Northern Expedition', the main threats in the region are lifted, and the alliance should not use foreign troops in a short time. Player and trade competition will become mainstream.”

  Old Bai: "A professional combat player becomes the version's younger brother again? (curious

Fang Chang: "It can't be said that, although it has left the center of the stage, professional combat players are still enhanced a lot in the new version. The NPC store not only released a lot of bionic prosthetic equipment, but also power armor. "

"Correspondingly, there are new maps with a higher risk factor. For example, the downtown area we explored before, where the evolutionary body is difficult to beat simply relying on the ability of the Awakened, but if it is matched with the bionic body With high-level exoskeleton equipment, the situation is completely different."

"However, compared with the large-scale team battles of the previous version, the new version may place more emphasis on team cooperation and personal adventures, which may be a bit difficult for players who rely too much on equipment and usually don't pay attention to leveling, and it takes a lot of time. Get used to the new version."

"At present, I am still about 20,000 away from 100,000 contribution points. My suggestion is to find some tasks with high contribution points to do, and rush the contribution level to the apprentice knight as soon as possible. The contribution level is only to meet the purchase threshold. As for whether the store has goods, then That's another question."

   "Don't forget the five-type exoskeleton, obviously the purchase conditions are met, but there are not a few players who can't buy it when the store is out of stock..."

   Fingers poked at the screen, Fang Chang, who was lying on the bed, thought about it, while inputting his understanding of the version into the phone.

   wrote a thousand or two words eloquently.

   Seeing that the attention of the group friends finally shifted from himself to the new version, Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief and put the phone aside.

   Every time he goes offline, he takes a few minutes to adapt to the difference between offline and online.

   Especially recently.

   The "withdrawal reaction" appears to be aggravated.

   His gaze unconsciously fell on the helmet on the bedside table, and a strange thought suddenly appeared in Fang Chang's heart.

   If only the operator who didn't know its name could be willing to take out the AI ​​in the game and sell it separately.

   Maybe it's more popular than games...

   "An android companion?"

   "Although it's a bit tasteless in the game, but in reality... it's not bad to buy a robot that takes care of your daily life."

   Not only can help with housework, but it is also pleasing to the eye.

   But 80% of the time you won't be able to see it.

   shook his head with a smile, Fang Chang dismissed this unrealistic thought and decided to forget about the game for a while.

   Sitting up from the bed, he glanced at the noonday sunlight outside the window and muttered softly.

   "It's only dawn over the wasteland at six o'clock in the evening."

   "Go for a walk..."

  …

  Wasteland World, Vault B4.

   Chu Guang, who was sitting in front of the computer, browsed the replies of the players under the update comment area, with a happy smile on his face.

   For the prosthetic transformation function launched in the new version, many players have shown strong interest.

   Some plan to get themselves a mantis knife, some plan to have a grenade launcher in their hands, and some plan to put a rocket slot on their shoulders.

   I have to say that the brains of these players are not ordinary, or they are a bit expensive for resurrection coins.

   In addition, there were some not-so-serious ideas that Chu Guang had seen and ignored, so he chose to ignore them.

   At this time, a pop-up window for a communication request suddenly flashed on the VM.

   Seeing that the call was from Boss Xia, Chu Guang reached out and pressed the connected button, and his fiery red hair was quickly reflected on the screen.

   Different from the usual mercenary costume, Xia Yan was wearing a cool T-shirt and lying on the soft quilt at this moment.

  VM itself does not have a video call function, it needs to be connected to peripherals, and the camera is probably placed on the pillow.

  Because this is the first time to use this function, Xia Yan is not very proficient in operating it, and his face is very close to the camera, which almost fills the screen.

   "Are you going to show me your nostrils?" Chu Guang made a joke and took a screenshot of the picture, intending to keep it to tease her later.

  Xia Yan's cheeks flushed, and she immediately moved away from the camera.

   After she moved her face away from the camera, Chu Guang could see where she lived.

   In the video is a double dormitory with an area of ​​about 20 square meters. It is not big or small, with a compact layout and even a separate bathroom.

   Xiaoyu's clothes are hanging on the hanger, and the two should be roommates.

   This is obviously not the kind of container house produced by the new alliance itself. Chu Guang speculates that it should be the barracks of Camp 101.

   It can be seen that Camp 101 attaches great importance to the students sent by the Alliance. Although the conditions in Xizhou City are difficult, they still come up with their own good things.

   Seeing this scene, Chu Guang was also a little relieved.

   It seems that the tuition fee of 10,000 yuan this year is not in vain, and my aid to them is not in vain.

   "How do you feel about the new environment? Are you still used to the life there?"

   "It's alright. It's definitely not comparable to the shelter, but it's not too bad. Anyway, I'm not picky about where I live, but I feel that there are very few things to eat... It's much more deserted than the Dawn City."

   Seeing Xia Yan's sullen look, Chu Guang couldn't help but say with a smile.

   "It's going to get better. After a while, we'll open a few stores at Camp 101, and then you'll have a place to spend your living expenses in your pocket."

   "Really?" Xia Yan's eyes lit up, he couldn't help swallowing, and asked excitedly, "Can you open the barbecue stall too?"

   "There will be...but don't just think about eating, you're not going to a picnic," Chu Guang said with a smirk, "By the way, what course did you choose."

   "Mechanical Engineering!" Xia Yan, who was lying in front of the pillow, raised his lips proudly, "I am best at refitting machinery, and I plan to develop in this area in the future!"

   "Do you understand?" Chu Guang asked curiously.

"The class will only start tomorrow! I just got a textbook today... But to be honest, those things look really difficult. I didn't understand it after reading for a long time." When he said this, Xia Yan's face Can not help but bring a trace of trouble.

  Although she is determined to become stronger, she has no confidence in her heart, and she will definitely be able to learn those complicated things.

   After all, she has neither the talent of a small fish nor is she as young as that child. Just because I have been exposed to firearms and various machine parts since childhood, my hands-on ability will be stronger.

   However, in the face of higher knowledge, that little hands-on ability and practical experience are not worth mentioning at all.

   "...There is definitely a difference between professional knowledge and experience in practice. It is normal to feel difficult, but I believe you can definitely master it."

   "It sounds like you know it well." Xia Yan couldn't help rolling her eyes, but her trusting eyes and words of encouragement still made her feel warm.

   "If I understand this, I still need you to learn it?" Chu Guang said with a smile, "Speaking of which, what about Xiaoyu? Why didn't I see her?"

   "She is already asleep. That little girl was talking about you just now and wanted to make a phone call, but she was afraid of disturbing your work." Xia Yan said teasingly.

   "Then you still have the lights on."

  Chu Guang subconsciously lowered his voice, but soon noticed that she was wearing headphones.

   "It's alright, anyway, when we were in the shelter, we usually slept with the lights on." Xia Yan said indifferently.

  “…”

   This guy really doesn't need money for electricity bills.

   But thinking about the power consumption of the training cabin, Chu Guang didn't care about the power consumption.

   Seeing that Chu Guang did not speak, Xia Yan continued.

   "She chose mathematics and economic management. These two courses seem to be quite unpopular. Pai's master plans to teach her personally."

   Speaking of this, Xia Yan suddenly remembered something.

   "By the way, I almost forgot, Pai asked me to tell you good news."

   Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang immediately came to his senses.

   "The VM thing has a result?"

   Xia Yan nodded.

   "Well, the manager of Vault 101 readily agreed, but the other party made a condition."

  Chu Guang asked immediately.

   "What conditions?"

   Xia Yan said.

   "The man said he wanted to meet you."

  …

   Vault 101 entrance.

   There are only a few barracks left here.

   Aside from the production and research facilities that will take a little while to move, most people can’t wait to get back to the surface.

   As the administrator of the archives, Ai Wen will most likely be the last to leave here.

  Before returning to the surface, he needed to sort out the data in the archives into categories, so as to ensure that he would not be in a hurry after arriving in a new environment.

  Fortunately, he recently accepted a little apprentice, which should be able to help him a lot.

   Of course, before that, there is one more important thing...

   in the archives.

   The grey-haired old man was sitting at his desk, quietly flipping through the "observation diary" written by his apprentice.

  Because it contains a lot of abstract sketches, it will take a little time to fully understand it.

   also seemed to realize this problem, and Pai, who was standing by the side, was not idle, and vividly described his experience in Dawn City.

  Including how the people there turned garbage into steel, how to cut wood into furniture, how to extract fuel from plants…

  's mouth was dry, and she made her final conclusion.

   "All in all, although it is very backward, it is a very interesting place! Unlike other wastelanders, they are not only adapting to the wasteland, but also transforming the land under their feet!"

   "I heard that there was still a wasteland a year ago, and now there are not only endless farmland, but also a very large station and train... Xiaoyu showed me the old photos, it was incredible!"

   Looking at the apprentice who gestured with both hands, Ai Wen laughed and teased.

   "Bought you for a bowl of shaved ice?"

   "How is that possible! But, the shaved ice with jam is really delicious! The taste is absolutely amazing! Not only shaved ice, but also many, many things I have never seen before!" Pai said with shining eyes.

   is still a playful age.

   But thanks to this, through her perspective, she can see some places that ordinary people would not notice.

   Perhaps that's why the pioneers planned to send her there.

   Ai Wen smiled and put down the "Observation Diary" that he didn't quite understand in his hand.

   "Really? I'll try it another day."

   "Okay! I'll take you there!" Pai said excitedly, and couldn't wait to share the treasure shop he discovered with his master.

   "After a while, I have to finish the work at hand..."

   paused for a moment, and Ivan continued, "Can you tell me about their manager? What kind of person is he?"

"Well……"

   Hearing this question, Pai touched his chin and pondered for a while, as if he was struggling with how to describe it.

   But at this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said.

   "Although it's hard to explain in a few words...but I feel like he's a good person to get along with."

"easy-going?"

   "Yeah!" Pai nodded and said happily, "Although he is a manager, he is completely different from our manager... How should I put it, he doesn't have that very distant feeling about him."

   It feels so far away...

   Ai Wen was stunned for a moment, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Although    is a very abstract description, he can understand what his students want to express.

The blue jackets of Vault 101 often refer to themselves as "tutors", but the residents of Camp 101 rarely refer to themselves as students, but more as "sheltered people". Considered "pioneer" and "lord", etc.

The emotion contained in    is not only gratitude for enlightenment and protection, but also a kind of worship emotion.

   Not only the worship of knowledge, but also the worship of identity and so on...

   This almost religious belief and reverence inevitably creates some sense of distance.

   Even if he could sense that the pioneers were actually trying to avoid it, and even if he could realize what the problem was, it was still inevitable.

   "...No wonder the pioneer wanted to chat with him." Ai Wen sighed softly.

   He suddenly became more and more curious about that man.

   Let’s visit another day.

  …

   The next day.

   Luca, who returned from Boulder City, delivered an inaugural speech at Longevity Farm, swore his loyalty to the Alliance, and officially served as the lord of Dawn City.

   This is nothing new for the residents of Dawn City, they have been familiar with that old Luca a long time ago.

   But for those traders and mercenaries from other places, this can be regarded as big news.

   After all, the identity of old Luca is not a secret. Many people have heard that he was a serf at Brown Farm before.

   That night.

   A pub on North Street.

   A group of merchants from Boulder City gathered at a wooden table, drinking wine and talking about the new things that happened today.

   "I heard that the newly appointed Dawn City lord is a serf."

   "Serfs? Can you manage such a large settlement?"

   "Who knows? But I don't like him, what does a farmer know? Can you read the ledger?"

   "But he was appointed by the blue jackets after all... Those smart people can never make mistakes, right?"

"Haha, smart people? Smart people will fall into the local rat? Ruining this place like this, don't think too highly of those people, a group of cowards hiding in the hole." A businessman with a beard Said with a burp.

   "Shh...be quiet, this isn't Boulder City."

   Noticing that someone around him was looking at him badly, the young businessman sitting next to him hurriedly grabbed his drunk companion and told him to shut his mouth.

   They are here to do business, not to make trouble.

  In the corner of the tavern, Sun Shiqi could not help but be surprised when he heard the group of people talking.

   Seeing the expression on his face, Zhou Nan, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but say with a smile.

   "Didn't you hear about it?"

   "Well... I just came back from the south." Sun Shiqi nodded.

Half a month ago, he went to Jinchuan Province with a truckload of cheaply bought arms, and exchanged 100 tons of grain from the farmers there. He just arrived at Dawning City this afternoon and just missed Dawning City. The inaugural speech of the mayor.

   However, he does know that Luca.

   It seems like a long time ago, that old man was helping the manager of Vault 404.

   First, he managed the warehouse, and later he managed the Long-term Farm. It seems that he was also responsible for the collection of Brown's Farm. There is nothing wrong with his resume.

   But what he didn't expect was that the manager had such courage to put a "lower-class person" who used to be a serf in the position of the city lord.

   And it is also the capital of the new alliance - Dawn City.

   He didn't have any prejudice in his heart, but rather admired it. After all, he was also a survivor who was born at a very young age.

   Even if it's a show, they do it beautifully.

   is at least more sincere than the Red River Alliance that the mine owner and the Chamber of Commerce bosses got.

   Looking at the group of merchants who had checked out and left in Boulder City, Sun Shiqi suddenly remembered something and said.

   "Speaking of which, there seem to be a lot of traders coming here from Boulder City recently."

   Not only here.

   He also saw a lot when he was at the trading post.

  Although merchants from Boulder City used to come here, but not many, at least not like now, just sit in a tavern and you can see those guys whose nostrils can't wait to go to the sky.

   "Because of the loan of 200 million chips, you probably haven't heard of it... A few days ago, the Jushicheng Bank borrowed a large amount of money from the new alliance as compensation for the alliance for giving up the airspace of Qingquan City." Zhou Nan said with a smile.

   I heard that there are other secrets.

   But that's all he knows.

   "200 million?!" Sun Shiqi's eyes widened in surprise, "Is Jishicheng Bank crazy?"

"I don't know if it's crazy, but it's the truth anyway," Zhou Nan said in a teasing tone after taking a sip of cold beer, "Yesterday, Haus of "The Voice of the Rock City" was still mocking on the radio, saying that now the entire Rock City is All the factories in Dawn City are serving Dawn City, and they are willing to be servants of a group of country bumpkins... Although they look down on the poor neighbors in the northern suburbs, they are very honest."

  Sun Shiqi couldn't help laughing.

   "Understand, who can't get along with silver coins?"

   Zhou Nan said with emotion.

"Yeah... The market here is unimaginable, especially since the business people have been here in the past two days. Although I don't know what they plan to do, the good things they brought from the ideal city made the nobles of the entire inner city feel Red eyes."

   Hearing this sentence, Sun Shiqi couldn't help but be moved.

   "Do you have a way to get those things?"

   Zhou Nan shook his head regretfully.

"If only I had that way. I tried it, and people from those companies don't do business with us at all... I don't know what benefits those blue jackets gave them. This shipment is completely monopolized by the Refuge. "

   "Can you buy it from the shelter?" Sun Shiqi asked quickly.

   "Yes, but the price is not cheap," Zhou Nan nodded. "What I learned is that the price of a bionic kidney is 600,000 silver coins."

   "600,000 silver coins?!" Sun Shiqi's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you crazy?!"

"After all, it's an ideal city, and it's expensive for a reason. Think about those nobles in the inner city who have a lot of chips and nowhere to spend, and you won't feel expensive. A perfect liver and kidney can make you live longer. Twenty years, and I don't have to worry about being hollowed out by wine... I want to change myself." When he said this, Zhou Nan's face was full of envy.

   One transaction can make more than double the profit.

   This deal is simply too good!

   "...I want to know what the company got from the new alliance." Sun Shiqi's face was also full of envy, but he was more curious.

   Even with the signboard of "Friendly Partners", these people from the enterprise are a little too good for the new alliance.

   Zhou Nan shrugged.

   "Who knows? It is estimated that it is either a great weapon or a black box that is priceless?"

   "I don't have enough imagination, that's all I can think of."
