This Game is Too Real

Chapter 420: This new map is too awesome!

Chapter 420 This new map is too awesome!

The 3,000-kilometer voyage would take half a year to walk on two legs.

This is not to mention the bumps and dangers along the way.

However, in less than 4 hours, the "killer whale" transport plane arrived in the province of clouds and entered the vision of the ideal city.

stood by the porthole of the engine room.

Mole's eyes widened in disbelief in surprise, and he kept muttering the phrase "Mom".

The same goes for Fang Chang and Shu Yu who are standing beside them.

The only difference is that the two of them didn't say anything, they just kept their eyes wide open.

Before arriving here, Fang Chang had imagined countless possibilities with reference to the pre-war images of Qingquan City and the defensive structure of the Megalithic City.

But at this moment—

These assumptions are all in vain.

Buildings are like towering obelisks, densely piled up, forming a dense steel forest, rising from the periphery to the middle, until deep into the clouds, and the end of the building cannot be seen.

And in the center surrounded by those peaks, stands a towering "tower".

The lacquered black metal shell, angular lines, and various details indicate that it is not poured from concrete, but cast from an alloy that is so strong that it is unimaginable.

Its volume is at least comparable to the hundreds of buildings that surround it, and it is connected to the clouds, making the whole cloud look like its branches and leaves.

Mole couldn't help but said: "...It looks like a game of Bopunk and Cyberpunk."

Fang Chang's Adam's apple moved and nodded slowly.

"……Um."

"The buildings over there... are all accessible scenes? Not the textured ones?"

"...There are still stickers in this game?"

did not speak for a long time, the Mole standing by the window was silent for a long time, and finally his full of emotion turned into a sigh.

"...Hang it up."

The further forward, the more everyone can feel the pressure of the approaching, as well as the prosperity and majesty of that giant city.

A long passageway is connected between the buildings, densely packed like cobwebs.

Small black dots walk through the gaps between the buildings. There are cargo drones and hovercraft cruising along a fixed track.

The layout and design of the city are somewhat similar to what Fang Chang had seen in the center of Qingquan City.

I heard that the Boulder City was built on the basis of the ideal city.

However, it is fundamentally different from Boulder City. The ideal city does not have such a thing as a giant wall, nor does it need it at all.

The shortest building here is also far higher than the wall of the Boulder City.

The surrounding buildings are connected together, and the steep outer wall is like an insurmountable cliff. At the top of the building is an electromagnetic accelerator of the same type as the Pioneer, which is enough to destroy any incoming supersonic missiles or even artillery shells.

The whole city is like being raised up. It has been erected to a height of tens of meters from the open plain. The entrance of Tianshui is next to it, and pipes are embedded in the riverbed to draw fresh water resources.

Broken viaducts and dilapidated and corrupt wrecks stopped abruptly half a kilometer away from the ideal city.

The steep outer wall of the building is like a clear dividing line, separating the dilapidated and prosperous, chaos and civilization...

The "killer whale" transport plane slowly approached the edge of the city, as small as a ladybug falling on a pyramid.

"We're here, ready to land!"

The pilot in the cockpit spoke to the communicator, reminding the passengers in the back to go back to their seats, and then switched from the horizontal flight mode to the vertical take-off and landing mode, following the guidance of the ground lights, towards the stop on the top floor of the building. Ping landing.

The cabin door opened.

Fang Chang and Mole followed behind Shu Yu and walked out of the cabin.

As soon as they stepped on the hangar, they saw a flash of flashing lights next to the hangar, making the two agility players unable to open their eyes.

Those reporters held interview pens in their hands, followed by drones with lights on.

Seeing the three people walking out of the cabin, their excited faces all rushed towards the apron regardless of the wind blowing on the rooftop.

"Are you survivors from the River Valley?"

"Blue Jacket? Residents of the Refuge? What's your size?"

"Hey, look at my friends here, is it true that I heard you are running a secret experiment? Can you tell us what that experiment is?"

"Unbelievable... Your nutritional status is good. It seems to be much better than other survivors' settlements. How much meat do you eat a day?"

"I heard you were fighting the Legion? Where did they fight? How far from the east coast?"

"How big is the Wieland's nose! Can you tell us!"

"Damn - stop squeezing! My shoes!"

The people around here are mostly journalists, and the residents of Ideal City are full of curiosity about their allies 3,000 kilometers away.

The related discussions about the alliance have already occupied the hot list of major communication communities on Endpoint Cloud as early as a few days ago.

All media are eager to get first-hand information.

Even if it's just a one-sentence answer.

Fortunately, guards wearing exoskeletons stopped by the tarmac, blocking the excited crowd.

Otherwise, with the fanaticism of these people, I'm afraid they will blow the plane downstairs.

"I'm going... Are the people here so trendy? There are even reporters!" Mole's eyes widened in surprise.

There seems to be a live broadcaster?

He understands a little bit of slang, but it's too noisy here, plus the dialects on the east coast are slightly different from those in the inland, so he can't understand what those people are chatting about.

It can only be said that this game is always a real batch in inexplicable places.

Fang Chang gave him a sideways glance and complained.

"...This is not too normal, there is a Mr. House in the poor part of Boulder City."

"Where's your black silk, put it on quickly."

"roll!"

Just as the two "bodyguards" were scolding each other in their throats, a man in a formal suit with his back combed his head, surrounded by a group of people, and greeted the three of them.

Although he was confused by these enthusiastic people, Shuyu was someone who had seen some scenes, so he suppressed the nervousness in his heart and looked at the representative who came to greet him with the air of an ambassador.

"...Welcome to Ideal City, my friend from the southern part of the River Valley Province, my name is Wu Changnian, the deputy head of the general management department of the enterprise, and one of the shareholders of the Ideal Group." At the same time, Wu Changnian smiled and stretched out his right hand.

Shuyu shook his right hand and introduced himself politely.

"I am Shuyu, the ambassador of the alliance. On behalf of the alliance and the managers of the alliance, I extend my sincerest thanks and greetings to you. Thanks to your help, we can continue to fight against evil."

"You're welcome, savagery is our common enemy, the common enemy of civilization, whether it's mutants, legions or xenomorphs... Sooner or later, we will destroy all of them on this planet!"

Holding Shu Yu's hand firmly, he conveyed his unshakable determination with strength. After Wu Changnian let go of his hand, the happy smile returned to his face, "...However, that is a long-term plan, for me , I hope you can spend a pleasant afternoon. I will serve as your guide for this visit, and you can ask me if you are confused."

Shuyu, who retracted his right hand, smiled and said.

"Then I'm welcome. By the way, who is your top management? If possible, I hope to meet him."

Wu Changnian had a regretful expression on his face.

"Top management... I'd love to introduce you, but unfortunately we don't have that kind of position. You may not know it the first time you come here, we practice decentralized management."

Shuyu was slightly stunned.

"...to the center?"

He had never heard such a strange word.

Wu Changnian nodded his head, and a hint of pride appeared in his bright smile.

"Yes, 200 years ago, when our civilization faced life and death, the residents of Vault 6 passed the test and unanimously passed the unanimous decision - to open the doors of the Vault and save more people."

"The crew of the Colonial Ship Ideal decided to respond to the determination of the residents of Vault 6, abandoning the plan to colonize the distant star, changing the course to return to the dying home planet, and stranded themselves in the center of the city."

When he heard this, Fang Chang, who was standing behind Shuyu, had a surprised expression on his face, and subconsciously looked at the center of the ideal city.

Behind the high-rise buildings, the pitch-black tower shrouded in mist...

Turned out to be a colonial ship? !

This Nima is too big...

Just when he silently measured how many aircraft carriers would have to be put together to have this volume, the man continued.

"...We solved one problem after another using the equipment and resources inside the colony ship and the shelter."

"With the concerted efforts of everyone, we have created almost impossible miracles time and time again."

"This is a great work done by all, so we decided to give power to all. Anyone who is willing to do something for this city can consider themselves the master here."

Shuyu was a little confused and said after a while.

"Then...you must have a chairman, right?"

Everyone is the master here, he can understand it, and the manager always tells him that the alliance is an alliance established by all survivors and belongs to all survivors who have paid for it.

However, the alliance still has a leader, who can unite the survivors who are scattered in the sand, bring everyone together when they encounter difficulties, and come forward to mediate when there is a conflict.

But there isn't even a leader here, so he can't understand it a bit.

He doesn't want to comment on other people's lifestyles, but he can't always say hello to everyone, right?

"Of course there is, but there are as many chairman as there are companies here, just like managers and shelters correspond one by one. I know you must be confused right now, but it's okay, we've considered this situation..."

put his right hand on Shuyu's shoulder, Wu Changnian said with a friendly smile.

"I will provide you with suggestions on the itinerary to assist you in completing this visit. Including speeches at the Supreme Council meeting, including live broadcasts on the endpoint cloud, and evening parties for shareholders of various groups... In what form, it will be arranged at When, we can discuss it and decide."

"Thank you very much then."

Hearing these words, while Shuyu was relieved, he couldn't help but have a headache.

Although the lord of Boulder City is not seen, there is a city hall, he can find someone to communicate with.

However, there is a good guy here, not even the city owner and the city hall.

Fortunately, he was prepared before he came here, and he had learned some rumors about the ideal city in advance.

Listening to Mr. Wu's introduction to the company and the ideal city, Shuyu gradually had ideas in his mind.

He needs to first determine the "political opinions" of different groups, find the faction that is most likely to establish friendly relations with the alliance, and then try his best to persuade or win over the shareholders of the faction, and at the same time prevent the faction that opposes them from turning over completely.

At present, the Silver Wing Group is the natural ally of the alliance, the Changge Group is the direct beneficiary of the war, and the Ideal Group is a customer that can be won over.

As for the Kang Mao Group...he wasn't sure what they were trying to do. The Endpoint Group, on the other hand, seems to be the natural opposition - after all, their Endpoint cloud and smart technology are almost useless outside the ideal city.

These jobs are a bit like managers and what he said about attracting investment.

At present, there are two ways to achieve , one is a public speech at the board of directors, and the other is a direct communication with the real power at the shareholders’ evening.

The idea is clear.

The next thing to do is clear.

Looking at Fang Chang behind him, Shu Yu's heart moved slightly, and a happy expression appeared on his face.

"...Also please allow me to introduce these two people behind me."

said, he waved to Fang Chang, motioning him to come to his side, and then patted Fang Chang's shoulder lightly.

"This is our hero, from the Burning Legion."

Hearing this sentence, Wu Changnian was slightly taken aback, and then a surprised expression appeared on his face.

"The Burning Corps? The one from that day—"

Fang Chang could understand what he said, but he was having a headache on how to explain this difficult question.

However, Shuyu next to him smiled calmly, grabbed his shoulder with his right hand, and motioned him to give it to himself.

"it's him."

"His name is Fang Chang!"

The moment when the voice fell.

The atmosphere at the scene was instantly boiling!

…

Official website forum.

The battlefield guy who got off the assembly line ahead of time is vividly describing how he saved the world with wisdom and courage, and successfully extracted heavyweight information from the mouths of profiteers.

However, apart from the support of the tail "Ooooooooo awesome!" and Fujito ω, not many people seem to be interested.

The Kingdom of the Golden Lizard is too far from the Alliance. Although it sounds like a large territory and a large population, there is too little content about it in the game's backstory.

In contrast, everyone is more concerned about when he can become the fifth largest army commander, or at least go to the triumphal castle in the west to see what the army's hometown looks like.

The only person who cares about him is Lao Bai, reminding him to go home and have a look when he is free, and remember to save a file or something.

Maybe it was out of comfort, or maybe it was because he felt that his post was really good. The dog planning Aguang, who saw the beginning and the end of the dragon, actually bubbling up for the first time. Although he didn't speak, he just liked and added a Refined.

The boutique label gave the battlefield guy the motivation to keep updating his posts. However, just as he tried his best to describe it, an "evaluation post" suddenly appeared on the forum and successfully became the focus of everyone. Focus.

《New Map Evaluation! Utopia hidden in a corner of the wasteland! 》

"...It is a huge city, and there is no other city in the real world that can compare with him. Although the area is less than half the size of Shanghai, there are probably more high-rise buildings over 500 meters than there are on earth combined. several times."

"Conservatively estimate that there are at least one million, or even tens of millions of people living there..."

In the post, Fang Chang briefly described what he saw on the day he arrived in the ideal city.

And from the four aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, it describes the life of the local residents.

The first is clothing. The clothing styles of local residents are quite diverse. It has even become a fashion to DIY their own clothing and sell models with the help of virtual modeling tools.

However, rather than bright colors, they pursue a simple but not simple design to show their individuality.

The most common colors on them are silver, white, gray and black.

Followed by brown, blue and beige.

And there is a reason for this.

According to the guide named Wu Changnian, they are bathed in colorful holographic light and shadow all day long, and if the colors are too fancy, they will look like "holographic people".

This is also one of the most interesting places in the ideal city, where almost every building has a holographic screen that can be rented on the outer wall, and in all areas except public transportation, anyone can use it freely under the premise of abiding by the law Holographic device.

And this also leads to a fair amount of light pollution.

In the 21st century Earth, people need bright clothes to stand out from the crowd, but here people need less bright clothes to distinguish themselves and others from the colorful neon.

Secondly, in terms of food, due to the relative abundance of materials, the pursuit of the public here is healthy diet and simple cooking methods to preserve the nutrition of the ingredients themselves.

This is more of a scientific idea than a cultural idea.

The upper class enjoys the most advanced ingredients, ordinary people will choose industrial products produced by the assembly line, while the bottom layer with relatively poor economy will consider "nutritious meals" made of synthetic starch, protein and sugar.

It is for this reason that employees of many companies will have a strong interest in the alliance's unique food culture and the concept of "cooking".

In the ideal city, you basically can't eat the meat of the aliens. All the food in the wasteland will be strictly inspected when entering the customs to prevent the inflow of harmful genes.

As for housing, it is also quite interesting. The higher the status in the ideal city, the higher the living.

Therefore, if you want to judge a person's identity, ask him which floor he lives on, and whether there are windows in the house is enough.

In addition, although the streets of the ideal city are quite crowded, the transportation here is very convenient.

Most people's travel mode mainly relies on rail transit between buildings, or using smart wearable devices to call taxis. A small number of people have their own maglev cars, which can easily reach any place in the city.

Of course, this is only within the ideal city.

Those maglev cars need to run in a specific environment, and they can only run on wheels on the wasteland.

In addition to the four basic needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation, local residents also have the fifth basic need that other wastelanders do not have - information.

Yes, here information is just as important as air.

Fang Chang specifically mentioned this in his post.

"...In the real world, it is inconvenient to live without a mobile phone, but it is not impossible to live. However, here, it is impossible to live without a smart device, whether it is map navigation, transportation, or online shopping. , everything is tied to a single ID, so there are almost no stowaways here... Of course, maybe I just didn't see it."

"The smart devices produced by Endpoint Group and the bionic prosthetics produced by Kang Mao Group have been integrated into every corner of the local society."

"There is Cyberpunk 2277, a utopia that sits on the ruins like a nest, the heir to the prosperous era, the lucky one favored by the big horned deer **** (mistaken)... In short, we see from the sky to the tarmac All the pictures, every frame can feel the money burning."

"More details are still being explored... Speaking of which, I have to say sorry to Brother Ye Shi, those NPCs seem to think of me as the last surviving member of the Burning Corps."

When talking about this, Fang Chang, who was sitting in front of the computer, was really a little embarrassed.

The scene was chaotic for a while.

When he left the tarmac, his pants were almost ripped off by the fanatical reporters.

Fortunately, no.

This is written in the first or several articles of the "Player's Handbook", and you are not allowed to take off your pants (or skirts) in public.

In short, with his desperate resistance and the help of the guards, he finally managed to keep his integrity, and he was not taken by the sleazy Mole brother.

All indications are that the residents of Ideal City are more unrestrained than those of Boulder City.

But it’s more open than unrestrained.

The old man named Wu Changnian even joked with him, saying that if he went to the bar tonight, there are probably a lot of people who would like to do something with him, but don't take the sweet words of those people seriously, and be careful not to be photographed. to the endpoint cloud.

People who like to collect stamps usually also like to show off. Maybe they will be on the hot search the next day.

Shuyu also warned him not to run around.

They came here on the plane of the enterprise, they represent the image of the alliance, if he is corrupted by the sugar-coated cannonball of the enterprise, he will immediately dismiss him and report to the management.

Fang Chang felt that this warning was completely superfluous. He was not the kind of hairy boy of Ye Shi. He worked hard to achieve personal financial freedom from scratch, and retired as a landlord before the age of 30. Will he not be able to withstand this test?

What's more, he already has his heart.

Although it is a paper man wife.

But it's true to that extent... He always feels that if he fails that feeling, even if others won't say anything, his conscience will be condemned.

When he hit the enter button, the reply at the bottom of the post went hundreds of floors in an instant.

Compared to the gossip of the battlefield guy, players are still more concerned about the situation of the new map, and whether Fang Chang has women's clothes.

Tail: "Oh oh oh! Pass it on, Fang Chang and Ye Shi are the same person!"

Teng Teng: "The strange CP has increased again. (ω

Ye Shi: "Hey! Fang Chang, you are not a human being! And what the **** is CP?! QAQ"

Tengteng: "Well... Actually, the strong wind seems to be more suitable."

Siss: "Professor X student? (squint

Teng Teng: "Damn, Sisi is good at meeting!!! (ω

Siss: "Cough, I don't know, Awei taught me."

Tail: "!!! Huh? Sisi wants to be a student? Then... let's listen to Mr. Tail first. (///ω///

Gufeng: "...you guys should chat privately."

Siss: "I'm sorry teacher, I was wrong."

Fang Chang: "You can't blame me for this. In that case, I can't deny it, right? (embarrassed

WC really has mosquitoes: "Hahahaha! I'll die of laughter!"

Irena: "Although some people are dead, they are actually still alive, and some people are still alive, but they are already dead. (Funny

Elf King Fugui: "I feel sorry for the ten brothers at night. (Funny

Fang Chang: "Cough, the basic situation is like this. It is not easy to go to the ideal city at present, and it is much more troublesome to enter the city than to go to the Boulder City. We are also registered as diplomats, and we cannot work there or participate in the securities market. , I can't do business or anything... It is estimated that the task system has not been developed yet. As for the photos, I will not be able to send them back for the time being. Let Mole draw them for you to see."

The fleeing mole rat in the canyon: "It's such a big city, how can I draw a ghost! By the way, you are typing too fast, and you sent it out after I wrote half of it! (Angry

Square length: squint smile

Battlefield Atmosphere Team: "Hey! Anyone else listen to me!? (Crazy

Spring Water Commander: "My good brother, we are all waiting for your coordinates."

Construction site boy and Brick: "That's right! You are a spy too much. You haven't touched the opposite position for half a month, so kill it."

I am the darkest: "It's too embarrassing! It's been half a month and I haven't become a marshal!"

Battlefield Atmosphere Team: "@#%!"

Looking at the active little players below this post, Chu Guang, who was sitting in front of the computer screen, smiled faintly.

Someone heard that for sure, how could you ignore such important information?

is different from the players.

Compared with the new things about the province in the clouds and the ideal city, and the rich explorable content of the new map, Chu Guang is more concerned about the post of "Pangolin".

How to develop the ideal city market according to local conditions, and how not to be annoying, these are the topics that life professional players need to think about.

As a manager, what Chu Guang needs to think about at this moment is more about strategic deployment.

If his intelligence is accurate, the problem may be more serious than he imagined.

"...The supply line from the Bugra Free State to the Falcon Kingdom has been tacitly approved by the Golden Lizard Kingdom."

"Is this what the Academy means, or is the Golden Lizard Dynasty's own arbitrariness?"

His gaze fell on the map of Luoxia Province, and Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, fell into contemplation.

The Legion is on the far west coast, separated by tens of thousands of kilometers.

There are no railroads, no roads, and their supply lines either cross tundra and swamps far larger than Earth’s Siberia, or across the “Great Desert” littered with the remains of space elevators.

Although the Falcon Kingdom can solve some of the supplies, the economic foundation of this "classical militarism" kingdom is very poor, and it is obviously difficult to support a military power that is far stronger than them.

Considering the debuff of the Legion's supply efficiency, the alliance's chances of winning are actually very high, and that's why Chu Guang made so many pre-planned arrangements for the post-war victory.

However, the situation is completely different now, and the Legion can get supplies from the Bugra Free State.

That is not a feudal kingdom, but an industrialized commercial city-state.

As the vassals of the Great Rift Valley, their industrial capabilities are not inferior to those of Boulder City, and they have taken over a lot of supplies that originally belonged to the Legion Expeditionary Force. These are all ready-to-use materials!

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

It’s a loss for choosing allin at the time, and it’s also a loss for his little players to be so powerful, and they took down the Heart of Steel.

If you really let the airship slip back to meet the big army, let alone the Lion Kingdom and Yunsong, they can't hold out now, I'm afraid that Griffin has already paraded at the Stone City.

"It seems that the relationship between the desert kingdoms is not as united as Prince Kaliman said."

picked up the marker and marked a red circle on the map, Chu Guang now fell into contemplation.

Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the desk, tilted her head.

"Master, is that Kaliman lying to you?"

Chu Guang shook his head.

"Not necessarily, how much a messenger can know... and this is a wasteland, and the speed of information dissemination is not even as fast as in the Middle Ages. River Valley Province itself is the hub of east-west trade and traffic on the mainland, and a hidden supply line is mixed in the trade. It is difficult to find."

Intelligence work is not magic. This kind of thing is not something that can be figured out by sending someone or a mouse over to take a look. Someone must go deep into the entire supply chain to strip the clues hidden in it.

The alliance's investment in intelligence has never been low, but it takes time to build an intelligence network.

To be able to get this clue, to be honest, there is an element of luck. And if you want to figure out the entire supply chain, the businessman named Adan may become a key clue.

Including the surviving Colway.

The responsibility for failure is not on him. Killing people and venting their anger is what the feudal kingdom does. Although the legion is not a human being externally, it has rules and regulations, and it still follows the rules internally.

After successfully returned to the Legion, he might not be demoted, but would be promoted because of his loyalty.

The only resistance to promotion is "belonging to the Maclen faction", which may be suppressed by General Griffin.

Whether can climb up depends on the background and personal ability. Guessing is impossible.

With a slight movement in his heart, Chu Guang looked at Xiao Qi who was sitting on the desk.

"Issue a task to our pangolin...let him maintain a friendly relationship with Colway, and establish a friendly relationship with the businessman named Adan without revealing his identity and motives."

"We need to find out how much equipment is being shipped from the Bugra Free State to the Legion, including the type, quantity, value, etc. of these equipment... It is best to get relevant evidence."

"The trade between the Free State and the Legion is not necessarily the Great Rift Valley's instigation. If we can grasp the key evidence, we can even paralyze the supply line in the east of the Legion without firing a shot... But the premise must not be exposed, not too hasty. We need Not a head, not an order, but something stronger!"

Merchant can be bought.

But in the eyes of the other party, the alliance may not be a suitable trading object.

The difficulty of this quest is probably hell.

And to be honest, levels or anything really doesn't help.

In order to let the battlefield brothers work hard, Chu Guang thought for a moment and said.

"Hang a power armor for the final reward of the mission, the kind that has no contribution registration and level restrictions."

used to be just an idle chess move, he didn't think it would play a big role.

In the end, I didn't expect this guy to be so good, and relying on a crappy language and a made-up identity, he actually put this undercover agent on the spot.

This brother is a talent!

had to increase his sunk cost!

Hearing this sentence, Xiao Qi's eyes widened in surprise.

"Power armor? But the master... the entire alliance seems to have only two."

One was bought by Lao Bai.

The other is the iconic blue power armor on Chu Guang.

This piece of equipment is naturally impossible to give to others.

Regarding Xiaoqi's reminder, Chu Guang said without hesitation.

"There are only two now. When he completes the entire mission chain, I will say there are ten."

One million silver coins for equipment.

After a pause, he continued.

"Also, summon Prince Kaliman and let him wait for me in the reception room of Dawn City."
