This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 662 My pangolin is back!

   Chu Guang naturally supported the player's plan to build their own port in the Baiyue Strait.

   Not only because there is shelter 70 and the fallen Tianting space station in the southern sea area, but also because it means that his little players have begun to actively spread the light of order outward.

  As for issues such as the ownership of the port, it is too small to get entangled in this situation.

   Now is 2342, not 1600. He is neither the emperor of the alliance nor the chairman of an ocean-going company, but the manager of the alliance and the designer of the order of the alliance.

  His little players are not prisoners exiled by him, but fighters who have sworn to end the wasteland under the banner of the People's Federation.

  He and the players are highly unified in terms of interests and positions, not two opposing sides.

Players are part of the alliance, and the settlements established by players are naturally also part of the alliance. Recognizing the constitution of the alliance is one of the obligations written in the player's handbook. .

  Under the alliance-led order, players can discuss the future of the settlement with local survivors, or even leave it to the local survivors to make their own decisions, just like the residents of Boulder City and Singularity City.

  As long as they don't violate the alliance's constitution or the regulations in the Player's Handbook, Chu Guang is happy for them to toss within the rules.

  Under the rules of the game he designed, the alliance authorities only do macro planning and are responsible for the security of each settlement, and "how to do it" has always been a problem that needs to be considered by each settlement.

  It is impossible for anyone to plan everything in every possible way, and those places that he can't consider are destined to require many people to complete together.

  From passively waiting for the dog to plan and update the game, to actively enriching the content of the game, this is what Chu Guang has always been guiding players to do.

   After all, such a big planet needs to plan hundreds of thousands of settlements. If he plans all of them by himself, it will take until the year of the monkey.

  As for the world five light years away, don't even think about it!

  Compared to the port that the player you and I coax out, Chu Guang is actually more concerned about another thing.

   "The Southern Islands Federation has been formed in the southern waters, and it is at war with Refuge 70... This is different from what was agreed."

   Staring at the light blue holographic window, Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

  Before when Sun Yuechi introduced the situation in the southern waters to him, although he mentioned that there were differences in many fields between the refuge and the sea settlements, he did not mention that the conflict between the two parties had reached the point of daggers.

  Chu Guang couldn't help feeling a little suspicious, whether that Sun Yuechi dug a hole for himself.

  However, he soon realized that that guy set off from the southern seas to the River Valley Province a long time ago, and according to his little players, that federation was an organization that just emerged this year.

   In other words, when that Sun Yuechi was strolling slowly to the north, he might not even know that his hometown was on fire.

   The speed at which news spreads in the wasteland is always a mystery.

   With a slight movement in his heart, Chu Guang said.

   "Xiao Qi."

  The energetic voice quickly floated into his ears.

   "Here it is, master."

   After thinking for a moment, Chu Guang said.

   "Help me update the task bar of the test player who got the activation code, and ask her to investigate who initiated the war between the Federation of the Southern Islands and Shelter 70 and what caused it."

   Judging from the performance on the forum, this job should not be difficult for her.

   It can even be said that this is what she is best at.

   After a pause, Chu Guang then added another sentence.

   "The execution priority of this task is tentatively set to be the highest."

  Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the edge of the pen holder, gave a military salute playfully.

"receive!"

  …

  The next morning.

   Not long after the genius lit up, the open space in front of the Dawn City Airship Inflatable Station was already a bustling scene.

  Boxes and bundles of packed materials are piled up in the open space, and various engineering equipment are parked beside them waiting for workers to load them.

  Players with large and small bags stood beside the crowded supplies and equipment in threes and fours, yelling and shouting.

   "The new map opens up wasteland! MTs lacking physical fitness are required to bring their own exoskeletons, and the speed of team formation is private!"

   "Boss, how do you save files after running so far away? What if you accidentally die?"

   "Are you new here, right? Find an errand mission to familiarize yourself with the game process, and train the sequence level to LV10 before going outside."

"Depend on!"

   "Is there any brother who can beat ashes! No, it's okay if it's a strength system! The construction site needs livestock—oh no, it needs people."

   "Are there any adventure brothers? Take me! I'm an intelligence department, and I'm a thief at drones!"

   Not only is the open space in front of the square crowded with people, but the line at the gate of the ticket office has become a long queue.

  A Mengxin with a backpack managed to get to the front of the queue, but he was stunned when he saw that there was still money to be made for a hitchhiking ride.

   "Damn! Do I still have to buy a ticket to take the airship?"

   It is no surprise to this question, the player who is the conductor replied lazily.

   "How about you walk over?"

   "%￥#@!"

Since Haiya Province and parts of Jinchuan Province are still under the control of the Torch Church, flying from Shuguang City to Baiyue Strait requires a detour from the south of Luoxia Province, with a total voyage of nearly 4,000 kilometers. It took more than two days.

  At present, the route has just opened and is operated by Niuma Group. It is expected that two airships will be used to maintain the route twice a week.

  Follow-up, depending on the situation, it will be increased to once a day.

  The price of a one-way air ticket is around 500 silver coins, and you can bring 15 kilograms of luggage. The excess will be charged at 10 silver coins per kilogram.

  The air ticket price includes tax and insurance, which is equivalent to three assault rifles, and you need to have a contribution level of at least a citizen to purchase.

   After all, it is a very troublesome thing to bring untrained Mengxin to such a far place. Generally speaking, players whose contribution level reaches Citizens will be more reliable.

   These are the "high-quality labor" that Ah Guang helped them select, and they will feel more at ease when using them.

  Although the ticket price is not cheap, and the purchase threshold is set, it still cannot stop the players' enthusiasm for new maps and their desire to explore the unknown world!

   After all, this is an opportunity to get ahead of the version!

  The bosses have invested so much money in it, so it must be impossible for them to play with a lot of money.

  If these high-level players really plan to build a port, they will definitely release a series of land reclamation and construction tasks.

  As long as you seize the opportunity, you can earn back the air ticket money in minutes!

  Although there are no contribution points for the missions released by players, the silver coin rewards are often nearly 20% to 50% higher than that of NPCs!

   Because of this, the air tickets for this flight to the Baiyue Strait have already sold out more than half of them almost as soon as they were put up for sale.

  All the players waiting in front of the airship filling station are full of ambitions, and their eyes are shining with anticipation for the upcoming journey.

  The opportunities in Qingquan City have almost been discovered.

   It's time to try your luck in the new world!

   It is not just the warriors preparing to go south that are eyeing this flight, but also a large number of life professional players and NPCs who run factories or small workshops.

  Most of them learned from the "Wasteland OL" forum or "Survivor Daily" that the alliance intends to build a port in the southern waters.

  A large group of salesmen has rushed to the side of the airship inflatable station, selling their products to these eager players.

   "KV-2 Improved Type III Amphibious Exoskeleton! Allows you to walk on the ground in jungles, swamps and shallow waters! Take a look!"

   "One LD-47 solves all your troubles! If it's not enough, then get another RPG! Deathclaws have to go around when they see you!"

"There are a lot of sunken ships from the Prosperity Era in the southern waters, full of treasure piled up in hills! Don't you really consider buying a set of diving and salvage equipment? Buying it now also comes with a treasure map... There is no guarantee that you will find the treasure, but you will definitely be able to find it." Find something!"

   "Do you need an excavator? We have the best construction equipment here!"

   "Hydroglider! Amphibious aircraft! Look for goblin technology! Good quality and low price, buy as soon as possible, and support installment payment! Even newbies can afford it!"

"'Weeter' engineering armor and 'Cross Spider' robot! Produced by Vault 100! Our machines can work on any terrain, even if your construction site is on the moon, we can make it go up like a space elevator !"

  The voices of hawking are endless, even overshadowing the voices of begging to form a team.

   And the things these salesmen sell are even more varied.

  From the sale of individual light weapons to the destocking of tanks and planes, from screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches to excavators, pile drivers and other heavy equipment.

  Whether it is the factory in Dawn City or the factory in Boulder City, they all stared at this cake exuding an attractive fragrance.

  Different from those players who aspire to be ahead of the version, the ideas of most factory owners in the alliance are much simpler.

   No matter what the future development of this port whose name has not been decided, steel, cement and engineering equipment are needed to build this port, right?

  These are requirements that can be seen by the naked eye!

   Not to mention those invisible needs.

   If you want to take pictures of this port, it is definitely not enough to have tens of millions of silver coins. Behind it is at least a market worth hundreds of millions!

  Even if they just scraped a little cream off the cake, it would be enough for them to make a lot of money.

   And this series of amazing chain reactions was also something that the players who originally exchanged strategy in the post never expected...

  …

  The corner of the crowd.

  Looking dumbfounded at the messy scene, Ye Shi, who had been stunned for a long time, turned to look at Fang Chang, and asked in a low voice with guilt.

   "...Is it really okay to do this?"

  Niuma Group’s investment has increased from the initial five million silver coins to twenty million silver coins, and this is only the initial investment.

  Although the location of the Baiyue Strait looks good, the problem is that it is wasteland!

  Out of the settlement, there is no trace of human habitation within a hundred miles, let alone an empty group on the sea. No matter how superior the geographical location of the Baiyue Strait is, there is no busy trade route to support the sense of superiority there.

  Even if they build the port, they may not know what year they will have to wait to get back the cost.

  Looking at Brother Ye Shi who was quite worried, Fang Chang said with a slight smile.

   "The layout, the layout... Take a long-term view, my good brother. Don't talk about the distance, let's talk about the near ones. What was the situation in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City two years ago, and what is the situation here today?"

  Ye Shi scratched the back of his head.

   "Is this comparable?"

   "Why not?"

   Fang Chang continued with a smile.

   "At least in my opinion, there is no difference between Qingquan City and Qingquan City. They were both part of the People's Federation, and they both gave birth to civilization."

   "Although it is a wild place with no order at all now, it will not be after we have been there."

  The Dawn City before was just a trade hub in the southern corridor of the River Valley Province, but now this former trade hub has become one of the cores of the entire trade route.

  In the past, the merchants only borrowed from them for convenience and safety, but now the land under their feet has become one of the destinations for merchants traveling from east to west.

  Whoever can establish order in the wasteland can become the torch in people's hearts, and wealth and population will naturally gather in a bright direction.

  The war in the southern waters and the turmoil in the Xilan Empire may not be an opportunity for this settlement that is still under planning.

  It's like Bonechewer was to the Alliance.

   As for the troubles of alien species, poisonous insects and diseases in Baiyue Province, is it a problem for players?

   Even the brood nest in Qingquan City was settled by them.

  This level of threat is not worth mentioning at all!

  …

   Just as the players planning to go south were queuing up to buy tickets, a hydrogen airship slowly stopped above the filling station.

  In the plainly decorated cabin, a man dressed in luxurious clothes with a haughty look was overlooking the crowded square.

  His name is Banteno.

  From the proud and protruding bridge of the nose, it is not difficult to see that he is a pure-blooded Willant, and the stars on his shoulders show his identity——

  This person is the one-star commander above ten thousand people!

   It's just that he is not a military officer, but a civil servant in Triumph City, so he is not leading a well-trained team of 10,000 people, but a diplomatic mission with a scale of less than 100 people.

  In the legion, the status of civil servants is not as good as that of military officers, but this does not prevent him from thinking highly of himself, and he does not pay attention to these natives outside the city of triumph.

   Watching the crowd that filled the open space, the corner of Bantenor's mouth could not help but curl up into a faint smile.

   "Is that the person who came to meet us?"

  The battlefield atmosphere group standing aside had a subtle expression.

  Of course he knows what those people are doing. After all, he pours water on the forum every day after he goes offline, but at this time he obviously can't show that he knows everything.

   "It should be." Maintaining his taciturn image, he whispered something.

   Bantenuo smiled faintly, and the corners of his mouth curled up quite complacently.

   "It seems that these barbarians still know some etiquette."

  Seeing the confident look of that guy, the Zhandi guy made a helpless expression.

   As for why he is here, it is a long story.

  Flying to the legion on the "Judger" airship, he was originally resting in General Adria's territory, waiting to return to Triumph City.

  However, before the transfer order, he suddenly heard the news that His Majesty the Marshal planned to send a mission to the alliance to discuss the management of the mutant slime mold and the establishment of diplomatic relations.

  At that time, he felt that something was wrong, and the development of the matter was as he expected. The mission sent to the east needed a guide who understood the situation in the River Valley Province.

   Even better if they are local.

   Coincidentally, the ambassador named Bantenuo happened to be Penny's father!

  The Warfield guy doesn't know if the warm-hearted Miss Penny has helped him with good words, but in short, this letter of appointment has indeed flowed into his hands.

  When he received the letter of appointment, Zhandi didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while. It was really just a little bit short, he could see the Triumph City that he was thinking of.

   Not that he wanted to be there.

  The key is to go to that place to take a look, which has almost become his only hope to continue acting as an undercover agent.

   It’s been more than half a year since the war between the Alliance and the Legion ended, and the dog of Quanshui has experienced how many expansion packs, and he is still floating outside.

   But it was a blessing in disguise.

  As the guide of the diplomatic corps, he was promoted to a higher level by the military department, and the star on the shoulder badge that marked the commander's status changed from one star to two.

   At the same time, he also received a T-10 "Champion" power armor awarded by the military as a reward for his military achievements!

   After all, the dog plan did not break its promise.

  Although he missed several versions, the promised power armor was finally delivered to him.

   As for this matter, his old friend and former boss Ke Wei envied a group.

  It took only one year to rise from a potato-peeling squire to a commander. This rate of promotion is as fast as the entire army!

  Especially that power armor.

  He didn't get this kind of treatment back then!

   Just as the field guy was looking at the "hometown" that had passed by with full of melancholy, the adjutant standing behind Bantenuo coughed lightly and said.

   "Mr. Bantenor, we are here to discuss cooperation with the Alliance... The marshal attaches great importance to this matter, and it is better for us to restrain ourselves a little bit."

  Hearing the adjutant's reminder, Bantenuo's face flashed a trace of boredom.

  However, it seemed that he had concerns. He didn't reprimand this guy for his unreasonable confrontation, but just replied impatiently.

   "Understood, you don't need to teach me how to do things, I have my own sense of propriety."

  The adjutant replied softly.

"I hope so."

  The battlefield atmosphere team noticed from the corner of their eyes that Bantenuo frowned violently after hearing this sentence, but he held back and did not attack.

   Such a rare scene made the Zhandi guy feel a little surprised.

  What is the background of this adjutant?

  He has been with the mission for a while, and he is quite familiar with the identities, positions and details of each member of the mission.

   Only this adjutant, whose identity has always been a mystery.

  He only knew that the guy’s name was Quick, and his military rank was the same as his own as a commander, and he had one star more than himself.

  As for whether he is a military officer or a civilian official, which department he comes from, as well as political affiliation and identity background, his eyes are darkened.

   It would be nice if there were other players in Triumph City.

   In this way, I can help him find out, and then tell him on the forum...

   Stealing a peek at the unnatural expression on Captain Benoit's face and that Quick's calm look, the Warfield guy thought to himself.

  I always feel that this adjutant hides a terrible secret.

   And instinct told him.

  This secret may be related to the "cohesive body" that has been rumored on the forum recently.

  Maybe I should do something to help my esteemed manager solve problems...
