This Game is Too Real

   After the meeting.

   Including reporters from Ideal City, Li Ke from the academy, and other personnel not related to the ceasefire negotiations, almost all of them left the chamber with satisfaction. Except for the representatives of the legion.

   Cohen sat motionless in his seat, staring angrily at Chu Guang who was sitting across from the negotiating table.

   Including a group of Willant officers standing behind him, the angry expression almost wanted to eat him. Only Chu Guang was stunned, and he didn't know where he had offended these big noses.

  Fortunately, that Cohen did not let him guess by himself, and directly vented his anger.

   "I'm very dissatisfied with your wording. We have an unconditional ceasefire. There is no winner or loser in this war. You shouldn't use the word victory!" That's all... Chu Guang tutted in his heart.

  Everyone has agreed that each will win, I will say something to my subordinates, and it is not that I have not given you a chance to speak. It's you who have to pretend to be forceful, "There's a lot of nonsense"

   Who is to blame for this opportunity?

  I knew that you were so careful, I should have taken nineteen pens, wrote one for one, and tortured you for a few more minutes. Any extras can be used for raffle prizes. what a loss

"This is really inappropriate," Wu Chang Young coughed, glanced at Chu Guang next to him, and said without pain or itching, "This is a ceasefire negotiation, using the word victory... will make people misunderstood." Watching the negotiation Chu Guang didn't pay attention to the hostile gazes shot across the table, and said carelessly. "What does it matter, does the media of Ideal City still have a branch in Triumph City?" Wu Changnian thought about it and nodded. "That's true."

   That Cohen reacted so much to that sentence, and he was also a little surprised. It was obvious that he was speaking to his subordinates, and getting angry would be too much of a fuss. However, due to the company's standpoint, he still had to say something to make a round. After all, the ceasefire agreement has been signed. At this time, it is not good for anyone to have troubles.

   Cohen looked at Chu Guang coldly, and finally snorted, stood up with his hands on the table, grabbed his own share of the ceasefire agreement, and left the meeting room with all the officers without looking back.

   The players who were eager to try showed expressions of disappointment, especially the few guys who were watching the fun and didn't think it was a big deal.

   The gold coins of these old things didn't seem to explode. Watching the bleak backs leave, Chu Guang looked at Wu Changnian who was sitting beside him.

  "Have you got the coordinates of the Pioneer crew?" Wu Changnian nodded.

"They have given it to us, the 26th Commando has arrived near the target area under the leadership of Yunsong, the entrance to Vault 0 is also there, and there is a tribe of mutants nearby. The Legion has been disarmed and their mercenaries Contract, we can dispose of those mutants at will." Chu Guang said with a subtle expression.

"I was surprised before that the mutants in the great desert... would actually do business with humans." Human beings are not pure breeding tools and food in their eyes, so this sounds like a good point. The takeaway talks are just as strange. Wu Changnian shrugged.

   "I also find it strange, but according to the Legion's own explanation, the last commander of Luoxia Province, General Klaas, and the mutants may have reached some agreement. In the expedition a year ago, mutant mercenaries also fought."

  "And according to the information we got, those mutant mercenaries' fearless attack and terrifying self-healing ability, even soldiers wearing power armor would find it difficult."

   But it's just tricky. The Death Corps fought against those mutants.

  According to the evaluation of Edge Row, those guys are just a group of elite monsters with slightly thicker health bars, and they are not even as difficult as the elite group of Willantes they encountered on the 330 heights.

   After a pause, Wu Changnian continued.

  " Cohen claimed that the marshal didn't know about it, that Joseph

  Should know something, but don't want to talk about it... In any case, Klaas is dead, Griffin is dead, and McLen is still alive, but I don't know much. This is not a glorious thing, they can't check it out for your and my curiosity. "Chu Guang raised his eyebrows.

  "In other words, we have to wipe their **** for them." Wu Changnian nodded. "Yes." Chu Guang said with a smile.

   "Hehe, they kept this **** out of the way, and the previous one just didn't care about this one." Wu Changnian nodded again and looked at the young ally with seriousness.

"Yes. Although you may know it, I have to give you one more word of advice, be careful of them, be careful of all of them, with or without the previous episode, they will not forget today's shame', once you show Weak and deceiving faces, they will show their teeth without hesitation, and then start to move... They themselves are a race designed for battle. Griffin is, so is Cohen, whoever comes here."

   That's why the Business Support Coalition is holding Bicester Town. They need a trusted friend to watch over the dishonest Willantes.

   The movement of those guys has alerted the council. The big desert can't stop the ambitions of the Wieland. Even if it's just for the peace of the province of clouds, they can't stay out of it completely.

  Chu Guang pouted. "No wonder they can talk to mutants."

   "That's two different things... But then again, I was also surprised when I came here. There are even gray-black mutants in this wasteland. Wu Changnian sighed and continued with emotion.

   "I thought blue mutants with gills were outrageous enough... How many secrets are there in this world that we don't understand." Chu Guang disagreed with his words.

  Whether it's green or blue, gray or black, or colorful, as long as it's a mutant, he doesn't plan to stay alive.

   This kind of monster that binds plunder and reproduction, and writes it into its DNA along with hatred of people, should not exist in this world from the beginning. They are like goblins.

   Every mutant cub carries a blood debt behind it.

After seeing the hell-like tragedies in the mutant lair on No. 76 Street in Qingquan City, he did not intend to negotiate with any mutants. When he thought that the old friends on the Trailblazer were actually staying with the group of beasts, Chu Guang I couldn't help clenching my fists on my knees. "I have a small request."

   "What request?" Wu Changnian's eyebrows could not help twitching. He now has a headache when he hears this guy say the words "request and suggestion". However, to his surprise, this time the guy didn't say anything embarrassing.

   "Before withdrawing from Oasis 2, I would like to drive my Iron Heart a little further west to pick up our old friends home."

   Wu Changnian was stunned for a moment, a strange expression appeared on his face. what a strange request

  Although it is a bit strange, of course he will not refuse.

   "No problem... I'd rather say thank you, the air flow environment in the great desert is very unstable, and the performance of killer whales and cloudflies is said to be very bad. Chu Guang has a smile on his face." That's it. "

   Shortly after the ceasefire agreement was signed, the company's troops stationed in Falcon City released "migratory birds", which added wings to the news of victory.

The drone    flew across the desert, over the river valley, through the mountains and rivers all the way, and finally arrived at the city-state on the east coast shortly after dark.

  A holographic projection of fireworks was set off over the ideal city. The council building in the center used a whole wall as a screen to show all the residents of the ideal city this historic moment.

   includes a speech by Wu Changnian, Vice Minister of General Management Department.

   also includes what his ally, the Alliance, said to the manager of Vault 404. "It is an honor to witness this moment with you." "This is our victory" Yes.

  This is victory!

  The Wielanders on the west coast are ashamed to admit their military defeat in Luoxia Province. The euphemisms are just a fig leaf for the losers. The expressions of those big noses signing the ceasefire agreement are the best proof.

   For the melon-eating people on the endpoint cloud, compared to Vice Minister Wu Changnian's long speech, it is obvious that Chu Guang's concise victory is more popular. Chu Guang did not expect it.

  Because of a big truth that I don't brag about, I will be fired in the ideal city again. Battle Royale discussion board run by Skeleton Studios.

   Because the developer of this game is too hard-core, it has attracted countless netizens who are not interested in virtual reality games, but are very interested in the league.

   The CEO named Xue Hongliang is also very good at coming, and he changed the title of "This is our victory!" to the virtual community, which attracted the applause of countless players and passers-by. On this celebratory day, no one here is talking about the game, and almost everyone is cheering the victory that just arrived. A group of grotesque avatars cheered in the square. "This is our victory!!"

"Wake up, brother, the ground forces we sent are only one commando, and one experimental android force, what does it have to do with us winning this war?" "Doesn't this show the wisdom of the council? ?None of the inhabitants of the ideal city sacrificed for this, and the final victory was achieved without any effort!" "Ugh... a few died on the way."

  "The administrator comes here and shoots this guy who can't see the atmosphere out.'

"Hahaha! I like their manager! Compared to that rambunctious middle-aged man, the handsome young guy really suits me more!" "Wuwuwu, when will the flight to the alliance be opened? I have never Haven't been to places outside the province of Yunjian!

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. I heard that Riverdale is the hometown of Death Claw. Even if the Alliance is our ally, it is a bit dangerous to go to that kind of place." "Anyway, thank goodness..." Our boss can finally Back to make games!""Looking forward"

   "Hope he comes back alive." "Night City" bar.

   As the theme party of Victory Day, the BGM played today is a song "composed" by the residents of Dawn City.

   Figures swayed on the dance floor, and the LED masks jumped and flickered with symbols of changing smiling faces. Under the flashing red, yellow and blue neon, the retro music rhythm unexpectedly fits the atmosphere of the live carnival

   Sitting in the corner of the bar, Fang Chang quietly looked at the silhouettes not far away, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

   He probably missed the expansion pack of "Million Miles of Yellow Sand", but he didn't waste the past few months. During the training and charging at Yunjian University, he learned a lot of things that opened his eyes, including the popular business models in this city, including the common management methods here.

   He can now confirm that among the developers of “Wasteland OL”, there is at least one advisory team composed of experts in politics, economics, military, history, culture, religion, etc., to be responsible for the work of decorating those minutiae. Just like the currency of a business.

At first, he thought that the credit point abbreviated as Cr was just a kind of game currency for skinning. coincide. wrong.

   This is obviously an insult to Cr.

In reality, DeFi is still in the exploratory period, and it is still too far from stability. Most of the digital currencies issued based on this theory are tricks of flying kites and cutting lettuce, but in this virtual game, the true sense of decentralization Finance has been realized on a small scale, at least in Ideal City and Cr.

   For example, the most basic one, every resident of the ideal city is the main body of credit currency issuance, and it is also the guarantee of currency issuance.

  The central bank in the traditional sense needs to use various financial instruments to put money into the market. But whether it is lending money to enterprises to expand production or lending money to residents for consumption, the beer and foam poured on the top of the pyramid cannot equally benefit everyone on the pyramid.

   There may even be cases where some people did not drink beer, but instead drank foam in their stomachs, and some people vomited after drinking beer and did not taste the foam at all. But the ideal city based on the credit point framework is another case.

  The smart contract based on quantum algorithm programming ensures the fairness and fairness of the transaction, and the properties of its credit currency and a series of financial rules determine that all those involved in production will benefit equally from the prosperity of production.

   Of course, this system also has its shortcomings. Equality does not mean average. It is impossible for everyone to live in a room with windows and live on the upper floors of buildings. In addition, due to the inherent limitations of this set of rules, it not only does not restrict monopoly, but even encourages the merger of "production departments" within the enterprise. So in a place like the ideal city, the monopoly that has been formed is more difficult to break, and there is no force outside the rules that can correct it. Unless the monopoly itself is eliminated from the market due to operational crises or incidents, this is basically difficult.

And the council whose seats are decided by shares cannot push the bill to restrict monopoly. At most, it can only restrict the "production sector" that has formed a monopoly in mutual checks and balances, making it very difficult to squeeze the enterprises that live in this system. Employees benefit.

   After all, in this peculiar economic system, every resident is the subject of the currency and has become a part of the currency. From a philosophical point of view, although this has caused people to be highly "monetized" by things like credit points and lost their attributes as people, it can also be interpreted as "removing ordinary people from the debt relationship of the old era". Emancipation "everyone is his own creditor and will no longer be a slave to money, or to others because of money.

   In addition to the side effect of leading to a monopoly, the overly conservative credit expansion strategy makes it difficult for start-ups such as "Skull Studio" to stand out, and it is difficult for people who do not like to play by the rules or are not familiar with the rules to adapt to life here.

   But in contrast, the risks of the entire economic system have also been compressed to an eye-popping degree.

   In the past century and a half, this small society with a population of one million or even ten million has never experienced a real economic overheating or depression. The entire system is running smoothly, slowly but surely

   He has never seen an economic curve with such a stable slope! In reality, if an economy with a medium or above size had such a strong certainty, it would not even have the slightest fluctuation of ups and downs, and it would have stepped on the accelerator to accelerate.

  The **** is not aligned with the Y-axis. It is a shame for this investment opportunity to make money without losing money. There is no such "sure but slow" situation at all.

The most intimate thing is that this maverick economic system can be seamlessly connected with the old-time economies that follow the tradition, including the alliance! Whether it is import and export business or foreign aid expenditure, the impact on the entire economy is Smooth operation is not affected at all. There is no doubt that this is a model that does not exist in reality.

  If the game is as real as it claims to be, this particular model alone would be enough to drive economists around the world crazy!

   Of course, this system built with Cr as the cornerstone is already complex to an outrageous level. Even the residents living in the ideal city may know only the tip of the iceberg.

   Not to mention he is an outsider.

   But just getting to know some fur, also shocked him

  During this short half-year study, Fang Chang even had an illusion that some less "avant-garde" sociological knowledge or experience might work well in the real world.

   Even if it only works on a theoretical level.

  Since his financial freedom, he has become a professional gamer because of his interest, and he has rarely paid attention to the financial field. However, this game made him re-interested in the major that he had put down, and even went to college in the game. Life is full of surprises...

   At this moment, the electronic wind chime hanging at the door of the bar swayed gently, and a tall and beautiful woman walked in from outside.

Although Li Shuyue's appearance is not the most outstanding in the ideal city, a place where there are many handsome men and women In a bar full of cyberpunk flavor, it looks very special.

   So that as soon as she entered the door, Fang Chang saw her with a glance. At the same time, seeing the existence that was out of tune with the surroundings, Li Shuyue walked straight to the opposite side of him and sat on the chair that opened automatically.

  "...The company meeting was delayed for a while, I hope you didn't wait too long, I'll treat you today."

"It's okay, there are still two minutes before the appointed time," Fang Chang said with a smile after glancing at the holographic clock on the wall, "I actually just arrived a few minutes ago." "Is this the only thing you want to say when you see me? ""Thank you Mr. Li for the guest." Li Shuyue rolled her eyes.

At this time, she suddenly noticed the "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" and "Introduction to Economics" on the table, as well as the Yunjian University uniform on him, she couldn't help but burst out laughing and said in a mocking tone . "You watch this in a bar"

"Just got out of night school," Fang Chang shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and said in a half-joking tone, seeing her strange expression, "No way, the wastelanders from our village don't know the rules, so they can only take advantage of the You learn more when you relax after get off work." Li Shuyue suggested earnestly.

   "We are used to entrusting professional things to professional people. If you want to take advantage of the rest time to recharge, I recommend you to choose management. Fang Chang said with a smile. "That, I also chose. "Li Shuyue: "!!"

   Seeing that she didn't speak, Fang Chang continued.

  "Speaking of which, how did you think of doing business here?" Originally, he planned to go to the library for a while before going offline, but suddenly this guy called out and said he wanted to talk about business.

   After he agreed, he found out that the location was actually in a "Night City" bar not far from the Yunjian University Building. Li Shuyue replied casually.

  "You shouldn't go to a cafe at night.""So why must it be at night"

   "No one thought that you would win today, you should tell me in advance!" Li Shuyue said rather complainingly. Fang Chang smiled but said nothing.

   Of course he knew that the Alliance would win tonight, even before the news got back to Ideal City—the second the ceasefire was officially signed. However, the information exchange between players and players is not shared with NPCs outside the alliance. Considering that the other party may have a relationship with the council, he did not mention this recommendation. If the council misunderstands that they are in control of their It may be a little troublesome to understand the information transmission channels. When he is not sure whether the other party will care about this detail, his habit is to treat it as "will" by default. Jian Fangchang didn't intend to explain. Although Li Shuyue felt a little depressed, she did not continue to dwell on this trivial matter. After all, the other party really has no obligation to tell him inside information.

"Anyway, I hope to implement the business plan I negotiated before this morning before twelve o'clock in the morning, just use the draft you submitted to me last time... I still need you to check the details. If there is no accident, use that I hope there are no surprises."

   This is the first business cooperation between a company and an alliance. She has been preparing for this for several months, but she does not want to be preempted by other speculators who smell fishy. She had a hunch.

  The alliance will become a new growth point for overseas profits of enterprises!

   said, she took out a holographic computer pen from the briefcase and put it on the table, and handed him an AR glasses directly connected to the computer. Although the manuscript is not a serious business secret, it is not suitable for public display after all. Fang Chang, who took over the glasses, couldn't help but complained in his heart.

  The serious business cooperation is discussed in the bar, this Party A is simply faulty.

"Twelve o'clock in the morning..."Is it okay to be so late?" He opened the light blue holographic pop-up window and glanced at it, Fang Chang asked casually while doing the final check. "In this city, the time It is credit, and credit is everything.!!! It is better to remember this sentence than how many professional books you read. "

   glanced at the words flashing on the electronic silver screen not far away, Li Shuyue suddenly thought of something, waved her hand to summon the order robot, and tapped its forefinger twice on its head.

   Soon, two glasses of specially blended spirits were served.

  " That's right, I almost forgot, congratulations, "Looking at Fang Chang who was seriously reviewing the manuscript, Li Shuyue picked up one of the rainbow-colored cocktails and touched the edge of the other glass, lightly said with her red lips,"

  Congratulations on your victory in the war. "

  "But your expression tells me that you are sorry." Looking at her serious expression, Fang Chang couldn't help but make a joke to adjust the atmosphere. "Yes," Li Shuyue rolled her eyes, taking a sip of her cocktail, "I can almost take in a homeless Awakened." This joke is not funny at all. "If the spring was pushed, it would be closed. However, he trusted his comrades.

  Those guys are usually not serious, but they never let him down when it’s time to get serious. And he won't let them down either.

   smiled happily, Fang Chang picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it slightly. "Cheers to our long-term friendship and the victory thousands of miles away" "Bang——"

   Gorgeous fireworks are also blooming in the sky above Dawn City.

  Compared to the ideal city where the first half of the night is about to end, the sky in the River Valley Province is not so dark, but the lively atmosphere is not inferior. The streets of Dawn City were full of lights, and the residents of the shelter seemed to have known for a long time that victory would come today.

  Although there is no holographic projection that can cover the entire sky, and there is no "landing big screen" with a height of dry meters, the excitement and joy of the survivors living here are not lost to the friends far away on the east coast.

   Especially the heat and excitement flowing in his veins, even stronger than those of the residents of the ideal city. They were the witnesses of this war! They defeated the invincible legion!

Even in just a short moment, they still completed a miracle that was almost impossible in the eyes of countless wastelanders - defeating the Legion on the frontal battlefield! Those high-level heirs of the legacy are not invincible The alliance has proved this. .

   Together, they can beat even those Willantes in areas where they are best at and most proud of!

   Players may not have such a strong feeling in their hearts, but in the hearts of every survivor of the alliance, a hot mark has been unknowingly branded. The young sprouts have broken through the hardened soil. The old times are coming to an end.

  It is not only the cold winter that leaves, but also the desolation in people's hearts.

  The new protagonist will go to the stage of history, it will be an era that belongs to all wastelanders, not just a few lucky ones who are selected. Everyone is convinced

  The old order will be defeated at our hands one day!

   Fireworks blooming at night illuminate every face looking up. The cheers in the streets made every Vault resident and every Wastelander from the Wild feel more cordial.

   "Long Live the Alliance" "Long Live Victory!" "Long Live the Manager" this night.

   Many people are destined to be unable to sleep.
