This Game is Too Real

Chapter 57: first snowflake on the wasteland

   Chapter 57 The first snowflake on the wasteland

   The antibiotics produced by the shelter are really good. It didn’t take long for one of them to go down. Not only did the Yu family’s eldest brother get rid of the fever, but even his leg injuries were swollen. He even got down to the ground and walked two steps with a limping.

  The Yu family brothers expressed their gratitude and vowed to repay this kindness in the future, but seeing that it was getting late, after saying goodbye to Chu Guang, the younger brother walked towards the door with his elder brother.

   When passing by Fang Chang, Yu Hu stopped, took out a finely crafted knife from the package that did not look like it was produced in this era, and handed it to Fang Chang.

   This is a good thing he picked up when he was scavenging.

   Then Yu Hu said in a thick voice different from his appearance.

   "You're strong, you can dodge my arrows. But if it's one-on-one, I won't lose."

   "Keep the knife for me, don't lose it. Next year we will play a fair game. If I win, I will take it back."

   Fang Chang didn't understand what he was saying, but he looked like he wanted to give this knife to himself.

   Are you thanking yourself for saving his relatives indirectly?

  Fang Chang pointed to the knife, then pointed to himself, seeing the NPC nod, and then happily accepted it.

"Too polite!"

  Yu Hu also didn't understand what he was saying, but when he saw that he took the knife, he nodded and helped his brother away.

   Watching the two disappear behind the gate of the base outpost, Fang Chang played with the knife in his hand, suddenly looked at Gu Feng beside him, and said with emotion.

   "This game is too detailed. Look at the expression of the NPC. Every frame is a detail. I'm so blown away by this!"

   Gust: "...Do you understand what he said?"

   Fang Chang shook his head.

   "No, it doesn't matter."

   Ye Shi came over and laughed.

   "In case he intends to give you a 300-pound tigress from the tribe as a wife, this knife is a token of engagement."

"roll!"

  …

   helped my brother out of the base.

  Yu Hu looked back at the wall behind him and said.

   "Brother, let me just say, he is not an ordinary person. At that time, I advised you and Dad to marry Xiaoyu to him, but you did not agree, and regret it now."

   Yu Xiong was in a complicated mood and sighed.

   "What are you sorry for? They are our benefactors, so don't think about unrealistic things... Also, I didn't say I disagree with Xiaoyu, and neither did my father."

  Yu Hu frowned.

   "Then why didn't it work."

   Yu Xiong reluctantly stretched out his hand and rubbed the head of his silly little brother.

"You kid just think about the best, have you thought about whether people are willing or not? Not to mention Xiaoyu, look at the girls in the group of people next to him just now... Which of these came out of the shelter is not Pure and white, will you look like a bear like you?"

   Hearing this, Yu Hu became anxious.

"I'm a bit of a bear, but my little sister is not! I was so cute when I was a child, but I lost weight when I grew up, but what does it matter? When we go back, let's coax her to eat more meat, and I will give her my share, and I will definitely be able to Take care."

  Yu Xiong almost couldn't help laughing and glanced at him.

   "You're in such a hurry to marry the little fish."

  Yu Hu smiled, but his simple and honest expression was sober.

"Is this what I have the final say? Marry or not, the younger sister will be of age next year. According to the rules of the street, even if you are an adult, you will have an extra share of the head. You can see what we have achieved this year. It’s just barely enough, how can you afford to pay another copy next year?”

  According to the regulations of Bate Street, people over the age of 16 are considered to be a single household. When mobilization is carried out every autumn, regardless of whether they have a family or not, they will collect materials according to one household.

   is also a kind of "head tax" in a different way.

   Boys are better. Generally, they can go out hunting and scavenging with their elders from the age of 13 or 14. In two or three years, they can become a qualified scavenger or hunter, which is regarded as a labor force. If it is a girl, it will be more difficult in this troubled world. Few can make a living at this age, so they often get married early.

The reason why Xiaoyu can stay at home carefree until now is mainly because the father can still work, the sister-in-law has not given birth to a child, the second brother has not yet married, and the three men can barely support this. extended family.

  If you wait any longer, Yu Hu is married, or Yu Xiong has a new baby, even if he is not willing, he can only marry Xiaoyu.

  Survival is often a heavy topic.

   "...Anyway, if you want to get married, it's better to find a good family for her, and it's better than living a hard life with us."

   Yu Xiong glanced at the sky and narrowed his eyes.

   "The third son of the Wang family is also ready for marriage, and their family is not bad. It just so happens that the youngest daughter of his family is about to grow up, and it just happens that he will be a relative to you."

  Yu Hu quickly shook his head.

   "That's not good. I don't think that boy Wang Defu is pleasing to the eye. He even pushed Xiaoyu last time! When I look at him, he must be a coward who beats women."

   "The Li family..."

   "Uh, that's inappropriate. Our mother came from Li's house."

  Bette Street has a total of 100 households, so small places are just a little annoying.

   Yu Xiong was speechless after being retorted, and only gave his brother a meaningful look.

   "Then you have to think about it. If she married outside, your wife will have to ask for it herself."

   "It's okay, you're still worried that I won't be able to get a wife?"

  Yu Hu laughed, and after a while, he muttered again.

   "I just don't want you to keep worrying about it for me! It's my own business whether I'm okay or not... There's no reason to take my sister in exchange."

  …

   At dusk, the sky is getting dark.

   The players who went out returned to the outpost one after another.

  Like yesterday, many players set up stalls in the open space in the north gate of the outpost, shouting and chanting, and the sound of bargaining was endless, and it was as lively as a market.

   "Selling raw meat! Fresh squirrel meat, whether fried, roasted, or boiled, is delicious! 1 silver coin 1 random pick, affordable, high quality and low price!"

   "The devil bought you! How much meat do you have for a squirrel!"

   "There's a lot of meat. Mutated squirrels must weigh 2 kilograms each! You go to the granary to buy meat, and you can buy six taels for one silver coin. Think about it!"

   "No money."

   "No money, get out!"

  “…”

   "The mutated hyena's teeth! It can be used as accessories! Each one is only sold for one copper coin, there are only 10 pieces, if you want to buy it, hurry up!"

   "Who uses this thing as accessories, it's ugly!"

   "What do you know, what if the game develops an accessory system in the future? Equipment punching and inlaying enchantments will definitely increase the price of this material!"

   "Fuck, true or false?"

   "Really! Trust me!"

   "Then...give me two."

   "Okay, hey."

   In addition to players who sell hunting materials, there are also garbage picked up from the wasteland.

  Although it is now the 211 year of the Wasteland Era, if you search carefully, you can occasionally find some good things that were not taken away in time.

   Especially in some locked doors and cabinets, or buried under ruins.

  Some alloy products with good anti-oxidation effect, a little modification is an excellent weapon. For example, Chu Guang saw that a fire axe whose anti-rust paint had not fallen off was marked with a price of 7 silver coins.

   It really is worth the price.

   But not many people can afford it.

   "Does anyone want gold? I found a gold chain here. I found it when I searched the townhouses! Only 3 silver coins, it can't be cheaper!"

   "It's too expensive, 3 silver coins can buy as much food! What's the use of this gold chain I want from you? It can't be used as a weapon or money!"

   "Give me one, **** it, I can't afford it in reality, it's fun in the game anyway."

   "...Hey, prodigal, really prodigal! If you don't complete the primitive accumulation of capital now, how will you be ranked in the first echelon in the future?"

   "Brother, are you stunned? This is a game!"

   The hottest stall is still Ya Ya.

   Every time she performs the unique skill of eating raw mushrooms with one hand, she can attract applause from the players.

   These players are not prostituting for nothing, and the mushrooms in front of the booth were quickly sold out.

   Yesterday it was 3 copper coins and 1 catty of mushrooms, but today it has risen to 4 copper coins, and there are still an endless stream of players who come to buy.

   In addition, she also made a bottle of Yaya secret jam using the berries she picked, and the price was only one silver coin.

   But unfortunately, this bottle of jam alone cannot be sold.

   That green color looks so uncomfortable.

   Then there is Xia Yan's weapon store. Although no one can afford the weapons that cost hundreds of silver coins on the shelves, this does not prevent everyone from running to see the proprietress.

   "Madam, can you say that you are Kelly from the heavens? Just say, please!"

   "The lady boss is too arrogant and ignores us! It must be because we are too poor! Hey, is this a game of realism?"

   "Have you noticed? Her eyes on the manager are obviously different!"

   "Does the NPC already have CP? Knock it!"

   "You are a jerk, the handsome brother Dawn is obviously my husband, no one is allowed to rob woo woo!"

   "You're thinking about shit, how many favorability points? It's only been a few days since you moved bricks? Don't talk too much!"

   "What do the NPCs do after we go offline?"

   "...wait for us to go online?"

"Neuropathy."

   Coincidentally, people always coincide.

  Although he couldn't understand what these players were saying, the expressionless Xia Yan was thinking of these words at this moment.

   "This group of neuroses..."

   muttered in her mouth, she glanced at the direction of the nursing home, and then at Chu Guang.

very hungry.

  When can we escape from the refuge?

   By the way, do you have dessert tonight?

   That chocolate is delicious...

  …

   Maybe because there are 20 more newcomers, the market today is more lively than yesterday.

   Standing in front of the sanatorium, Chu Guang couldn't help but imagine in his mind what a lively scene it would be when all 100 players gathered here.

   "Life is starting to get better." Thinking about it, Chu Guang's face showed an old father-like smile.

   He was happier than anyone.

   After all, this is a game for the players, but for him this may be the second half of his life.

   At this moment, a slight coolness suddenly touched the bridge of his straight nose.

  Chu Guang raised his head and saw a small piece of silver and white falling lightly.

   reached out and touched the tip of his nose, wiping away the cold wetness, Chu Guang stared at his fingertips and murmured thoughtfully.

   "...Snow? Or hail?"

  The temperature has not yet reached 0 degrees.

   To be precise, it should still be between 10 and 15 degrees.

  There are no cumulonimbus clouds in the sky, not even thicker clouds, and dusk is faintly visible on the horizon.

   Preliminary speculation, it is probably the strong cold air passing through, contacting with the hot and humid updraft, and condensing at low altitudes to form ice crystals... He is nonsense.

   This is probably neither snow nor hail, but rather a climate unique to the wasteland.

   But it's not a good sign anyway.

   Flicked off the water droplets from his fingertips, Chu Guang sighed softly in his heart.

   "...It seems that old Charlie is right."

   "This winter will be earlier than usual."

   Food.

   Fuel.

   There are also materials and weapons.

well!

   It's bald when you think about it.

   However, the joys and sorrows of people are not the same.

   In the distance, the "heartless" cheers of the players and the joyful chatter can be heard faintly.

   It was a female player who had just joined the game, and she was looking up at the sky with longing.

   "It's snow!"
