This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 669 The Ox and Horse Returning with a Full Reward

   "Recently, the Niu Ma airship that departed from Dawn City successfully arrived at the eastern part of the Baiyue Strait, and established an outpost on the north bank to explore the Baiyue Province."

"Currently, more than 300 residents of shelter No. 404 are stationed at the outpost. The local construction team has already used a one-meter-wide trench and a three-meter-high earth wall to outline the outline of the camp, and built a Watchtowers and machine gun emplacements were set up to secure the camp."

"In addition, the search team's activity area formed by the residents of the shelter has been expanded from five kilometers to ten kilometers from the shore, and the "Old Site of Shilong City" close to the coastline has been included in the search range, looking for possible shelters or survivors. community.”

  "Residents of Vault 404 said in an interview that they will search for survivors and relics of the pre-war era in the area, and radiate around the outpost on the shore to restore local civilization and order."

   "If all goes well, this will be the first recovery area of ​​the "United Front for Human Revival" in Baiyue Province. The administrator highly appreciates this and sent the Jungle Corps and Burning Corps to support the local recovery and construction work."

   "Meanwhile, at the recommendation of a unanimous vote by the explorers, the outpost was named Port Chip."

"The Federation of the Southern Islands in the southern waters sent us a congratulatory message. While extending sincere greetings to the administrators of the alliance, President Mungo of the Federation of the Southern Islands also sincerely expressed the hope that the alliance can build more ports and Settlements."

   “Residents of Chip Harbor say they will live up to their neighbors’ expectations!”

   "... Dawn City TV station will broadcast for you!"

  On the third day after the Presidential Office of the Federation of the Southern Islands replied to the Fries Harbor telegram, the telegram returned to Dawn City along with the returning airship Cowhorse.

  At this moment, the waiting hall of Shuguang City Railway Station is full of people coming and going, and the news at 8 o'clock in the morning is playing on the TV hanging in the corner of the hall.

  A group of passengers with suitcases gathered in front of the TV, watching the news announced by the announcer, with surprised expressions on their faces.

  The Alliance has added another settlement!

   And it is still more than 2,000 kilometers away in Baiyue Province!

  Although players have been discussing this matter on the forum for several days, it is still considered big news for the residents of Dawn City.

  Especially those survivors who had just returned from other settlements started gossiping with other travelers around them.

   "Fries Port?"

   "Is that the french fries sold with Coke?"

   "Unbelievable... Baiyue Province, I remember correctly, it is a tropical jungle!"

"you've been to?"

   "No...I just sailed past there once."

   "Good guy, someone has really traveled that far!"

"I was going to Borneo Province to purchase spices and animal skins, and I planned to transport them to the settlements along the coast of Yunjian Province. If I went by land, I would have to go through a large wasteland, so I contacted the merchant ship in Silver Moon Bay and took the sea route...In short As long as merchant ships come and go in the east-west direction, they will pass through that waterway."

   "There is no settlement in such a good location."

   "Inhabited area? Haha, let alone an inhabited area, you can't even see a living person there."

"The entire Baiyue Province is an uninhabited area, and the nearest settlements are the southern sea area or the Haiya Province. Speaking of which, there were some survivors living in the Dead Coast before, but since the Church of the Torch came to the Haiya Province , I seldom hear from them.”

  Hearing the name of the Torch Church, many tourists who were originally interested showed taboo and even fearful expressions on their faces.

  Many residents of the Alliance escaped from Jinchuan Province.

  Especially some merchants who used to do business in the Jinchuan province area, they have seen with their own eyes the innumerable crimes of the Torch Church in various parishes.

  If the general predators are simply bad, those guys have a sense of mission like insanity.

   Few people can really understand what they want to do, and when they come to their senses, they have become their fertilizer.

  Baiyue Province is too close to the sphere of influence of the Torch Church.

  If the Church of the Torch intends to attack Chip Harbor, it may be too late for the Alliance to support the survivors there.

  However, although there are security concerns, most merchants are still very optimistic about the economic value behind the French Fries Port.

  I heard that the industrial areas of Dawn City, Dawn City, and Boulder City have all made a fortune from orders from Niuma Group.

  The tank chassis of Factory No. 81 is removed from the armor plate, and the mechanical arm of the giant stone military industry is welded on, which is an excavator for digging earth.

  Goblin Technology inserted two floats next to the bomber of the W-2 attack aircraft, which is a seaplane that can take off on the sea.

   These things are selling really well at Chip Harbor.

  In addition to these large-scale equipment, there are engineering shovels for digging, fishing nets for fishing, oxygen cylinders for diving, etc.

   And not just these short-term benefits.

  If the alliance can open up the sea trade route between the east coast and west coast of the Central Continent, the economic value behind it cannot be measured by currency!

  Currently, there is only one airship flight operated by Niuma Group on the route from Dawn City to Potato Fries Port. However, the route carried by the airship is not very high in terms of capacity or efficiency, and it will definitely be replaced by other transportation methods in the future.

  Many active businessmen have already pondered in their hearts, thinking about how to open up new trade routes from the Prancing Horse Province in the east or the Luoxia Province in the west.

for example-

   Incorporated Oasis IV into the Alliance's rail network.

  In this way, the goods produced in the Dawn City Industrial Zone can be shipped at the port of Yinyue Bay, and shipped along the west coast of Baiyue Province to the alliance port in Baiyue Strait.

  The freight cost of railway and shipping is much lower than that of airship, and the transportation capacity it can provide is much larger than that of the latter...

  …

   While the passengers in the waiting hall were discussing, the airship inflatable station located in the suburbs of Shuguang City was also bustling.

   A similar situation happened once a few days ago.

  At that time, it was crowded with players who bought tickets to go to the new map, and now, a few days later, it is full of shouts and shouts.

"Look, take a look, aquatic products from the Baiyue Strait! Cold chain air transport! Freshness guaranteed!" Not far from the airship unloading point, a player dressed as a fisherman moved a small bench and sat on it. A long row of foam bins stuffed with ice and seafood.

  The pungent fishy smell caused passers-by to walk around one after another, but there were also many people who just took a bite and gathered around.

   What the airship Oxhorse brought back to Dawn City was of course not only the friendly greetings from the survivors in the southern sea area, but also the gifts from the sea and the rare and exotic animals on the shore.

  Most of the specimens captured alive were sent to the zoo in Dawn City or Shelter No. 79, which specializes in wasteland species. As for those that were not captured alive or died halfway, they were naturally cheaper for the foodies in Dawn City.

  Putting the second sister Shuangxue to a booth, the little guy Shuangye squatted on the ground curiously, and stretched out his index finger to poke the frozen starfish.

   "Boss! What is this!"

  Seeing that there are guests patronizing, the player immediately introduces them warmly.

   "Starfish! My brother caught it with a little nonsense!"

  Having heard this strangely pronounced name, Shuang Ye remembered that uncle was always fishing by the edge of Linghu Lake, and occasionally distributed the fish he caught to the residents living nearby, so he looked up and looked around, but he didn't see that person.

   "Then what about Uncle, who don't talk about it? Why isn't he here?"

  Looking at those big curious eyes, the fish seller coughed subtly.

   "Uh, that guy is staying in the refuge, and he probably won't be able to come out until tomorrow, so let me help sell it first."

  Shuangxue gently tugged on her sister's sleeve, and said softly.

   "Shuang Ye, don't go around asking about the residents of the refuge, it will cause trouble for them."

   "I'm just curious..."

  Shuang Ye puffed her cheeks and turned her head away, but she was still very sensible and didn't continue to ask questions, and returned her attention to the starfish that was the size of a washbasin.

   "Is this really edible?"

   "Of course! We all let the intelligence department try it first, and then sell it if there is no problem!"

   As he said that, the player picked up a starfish that was frozen as hard as a rock, took out a knife and made gestures on it twice.

   "This is the place. When it's thawed, take a knife and pull it out. It's all yellow inside, dipped in some soy sauce! Or stewed soup is fine!"

"elder sister…"

   Facing her sister's eyes full of longing, Shuangxue made a helpless expression, and took out her wallet from her pocket.

   "Then... give me one."

   "Okay! I'll wrap it up for you!"

  The player skillfully picked one up from the foam box, weighed it, packed it, and handed it to the NPC lady in front of him.

   "26 silver for you!"

  26 silver coins are not cheap, but for the residents of Dawn City who are not under great pressure to survive, it is no problem to buy them and try something new.

  As early as the beginning of this year, there were no jobs with a monthly salary of less than 1,000 silver coins in Dawn City, let alone a job in the Merchant Guild with a decent salary.

  Counted 26 silver coins from the wallet and handed them over to the stall owner. Seeing Frost Ye happily hugging Starfish in her arms and cheering, Frost Snow couldn't help smiling, and stretched out her hand to rub the little guy's head.

   "You can't play with food, put it away, my sister will make soup for you when I go back."

   "Yeah!" Shuang Ye nodded excitedly, holding her hands tighter, "I will take good care of Mr. Starfish before stewing it into soup!"

  The two of them were planning to go to other stalls to see if there were any other novelty gadgets, but just two steps away, they heard a call from the fish killing stall next to them.

   "Boss, why do you still have a sock in your belly?"

  The player with the shoes in his hand also looked puzzled, scratched the back of his head and threw it in the trash can, and made a fool of himself.

   "Uh...maybe it was worn by other fish?"

  The customers who bought seafood around were shocked.

   "The fish in the Baiyue Strait still wear socks?"

   Before the player could speak, an old man next to him, carrying a plastic bag, answered with a smile before him.

   "Yes, at the stall I passed by just now, I saw a pair of pants cut out from the belly of the fish."

  The people surrounding the stall were amazed and exclaimed that it was incredible.

  The eyes of Frost Ye holding the starfish are shining, full of curiosity and longing.

   "The fish in the sea... so amazing!"

  Shuangxue gently pulled her sister's arm with a delicate expression, and led her away from the aquatic product stall.

   "Let's look elsewhere."

  Just now she thought 26 silver coins were a bit expensive.

   Now I suddenly feel that it is not so expensive...

  Not only seafood, but also all kinds of strange underwater salvage, and waste products of unknown use picked up from the former site of Shilong City are sold on the open space near the airship inflation station.

  Although the traces of civilization in Baiyue Province have been completely erased, there are still some unusual things that have survived due to various reasons.

  These objects are like fossils, recording what happened on that land in the early years of the Wasteland Era. Not only do they have a certain research value, but the baptism of the years also endows them with unusual value in the sense of collection.

   The scientific expedition team of the Alliance and Camp No. 101 took some of them first, while the remaining parts that were not picked were taken by the players to sell in the market.

  Ordinary wastelanders are not interested in these inedible and unusable things. After all, this kind of garbage is everywhere in the wasteland, and they are sold by the kilogram at the waste collection station.

  However, for those extraordinary wastelanders, the garbage in the eyes of ordinary people is very serious.

  For example, those prospectors and researchers who came to Qingquan City because of the cooperative research agreement signed between the college and the alliance.

  In the eyes of these archaeological experts, even if they are also garbage, the garbage picked up in different areas cannot be generalized.

  Especially those bottom salvages.

  Considering that the Tianting space station crashed in the southern sea area, it might be mixed with the wreckage of the Tianting!

  If you can analyze some aerospace materials related to the loss of data from the above, you can also come out with a paper!

   Not only those knowledgeable experts, but also some collectors who know little about it are also full of interest in those salvaged objects.

   It is precisely because of this that the stalls selling salvage are even more lively than the seafood stalls, crowded with picky customers and spectators.

   Whenever an unremarkable piece of junk sells for an outrageous price, there will be a burst of incredible exclamation in the crowd.

  The scene was exactly the same as the antique market!

  A corner of the market.

  A tall, thin man stood in front of an inconspicuous booth, picking at a pile of garbage scattered on the booth.

Perhaps it was because of the blue coat that marked his identity, or maybe it was because of the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose that he looked like a cultural person who knew everything, maybe he still served in the scientific expedition team, so Behind him were many guys waiting to pick up the leak.

  That guy didn't care about the large group of people following him, as if it wasn't the case, he searched the booth on his own.

  At this moment, he suddenly frowned, picked up a horseshoe-shaped plastic board from the booth, played with it with interest for a while, and then looked at the boss behind the booth.

   "Where did you pick this thing up?"

  Speaking proficient human language, the player said with a smile.

"It's the sea area near the port. I don't remember where it is. Why don't you buy it and ask someone to take a look? What if it's a baby that fell from the Tianting space station? I think it looks like a spacecraft. Welding circles, it was brought back."

  Hearing that it might be a treasure that fell from the Tianting space station, all the collectors following the man immediately looked straight at him.

  Especially the researcher in the blue coat, he touched his chin with a face of uncertainty, and asked the price directly without doubting whether it was true or not.

   "Slightly interesting...how much?"

  The player said cheerfully.

   "Looking at you, you are a talented person, and you are a cultural person! I will charge you 1,000 silver coins."

  Hearing the offer, the researcher obviously hesitated for a while, but in the end he gritted his teeth and paid for it, and bought back the useless junk in front of everyone.

  The other players watching saw this scene, and green light suddenly appeared in their eyes.

   Good guy!

   A rag can be sold for 1000 silver coins!

   The money for this NPC is too easy to earn!

   What made them feel even more unbelievable was yet to come.

   Not long after the researcher in the blue coat walked away, those local tyrants NPCs rushed to the booth like crazy, looting.

   Could the garbage that fell together with the Tianting space station be garbage?

   It doesn’t matter if it’s useful or not, after buying it, they’re not short of the money anyway, and it’s not bad to hang it at home as an ornament and brag about it.

  In the blink of an eye, the salvage on the stall was sold out, and the stall owner who was counting the banknotes couldn't close his mouth with joy.

  Don’t talk about air tickets this time.

   All the money for a hundred air tickets has been earned!

   "You guys... this is a lie."

  Looking at the sold-out booth not far away, Jiang Xuezhou squinted his eyes, and couldn't help complaining to Ye Shi who was looking aside.

   "That thing just now is just a toilet seat no matter how you look at it!"

  How can plastic be used as a welding ring!

   It doesn't take any professional vision. Do these guys really have no basic common sense?

"Hey, how can this be called a lie, at most it's a bit of cleverness... And this is not arranged by us, don't always talk about it, even if you are also a refugee resident, there is a distinction between decent people and dishonest people. Experienced."

   I didn't expect to see such an old-fashioned method in the 23rd century. Ye Shi also felt a little embarrassed, especially when an outsider saw it, so he coughed dryly and explained.

At the corner of the market not far from the two of them, he saw the "researcher" who bought the toilet seat with a lot of money before quickly took off the blue coat that marked the identity of the shelter resident, and returned the coat to it real master.

  Although he doesn't know that player, he can guess with his toes that this guy is in the same group as the guy who set up the stall!

  Jiang Xuezhou rolled his eyes eleven times, and continued to walk forward, but he walked around the stalls a lot, but found nothing worth buying.

   Logically speaking, this should not be the case.

  With so many waste products salvaged from the bottom of the sea, there isn't even one thing worthy of in-depth study, right?

  She didn't expect to find any treasures that would impress her supervisor. She would be very satisfied if she could write a thesis that meets the level of a D-level researcher.

  However, after wandering around for a while, Jiang Xuezhou couldn't help complaining in a low voice.

   "Why not one."

  Ye Shi gave her a strange look.

"not even one?"

"Just... that kind of thing that is really valuable for research, why haven't I seen any of it?" Jiang Xuezhou couldn't help complaining, "By the way, how did you manage to avoid all valuable research projects? This is too lucky Bar?"

  Hearing this whispered complaint, Ye Shi immediately understood what she was complaining about, and then said with a hearty smile.

   "Hey, that's not too normal. The things that are really valuable for research have been picked up by the people of our scientific research team. Isn't it a waste of time for you to find that?"

  Speaking of which, Yin Fang seemed to be a D-rank when he left the academy, right?

   And that was a long time ago.

  In that case, that guy should be her senior brother.

  Jiang Xuezhou stopped in his tracks and stared blankly at Ye Shi for a long time, his cheeks gradually turned from rosy white to liver-colored.

   "...why didn't you tell me earlier!"

  Looking at Jiang Xuezhou who gritted her teeth for a long time before holding back a word, Ye Shi stared at her for a while with a strange expression.

   "You didn't ask me... I thought you were here to buy souvenirs."

  Jiang Xuezhou glared at him fiercely, but after thinking for a long time, he really couldn't think of a reason to blame him, so he stomped his feet angrily, turned around and left.

  It is a waste of time to continue shopping.

   And there are too many routines here, she doesn't want to stay here for a moment.

   At the same time, Yin, who was tinkering with the waste that he had just scavenged from the Niu Ma airship in the laboratory, suddenly sneezed without warning.

   "Ah Choo!"

   "...who is scolding me."

   Rubbing his sore nose, Yin Fang muttered, and then put aside the trivial matter, and looked at the fragments lying on the instrument again with bright eyes.

   It was a wreck the size of a palm.

  Its surface has a bright metallic luster, and the shiny surface is as if it has been carefully polished with a polisher.

   Surprisingly, no one has polished this piece, it looked like this when the players of the Cowhorse found it on the bottom of the sea.

   At present, Yin Fang is temporarily unable to determine what technology is used for this material. He can only analyze through elemental spectroscopy that it should be some kind of metal-ceramic composite material used in spacecraft.

  This material not only has extremely strong heat resistance and hardness, but also has amazing toughness that is not inferior to steel and resistance to mechanical impact.

   If he can continue to dig deep on this material, according to his experience, at least he can recover a C-level material science technology!

   This is not the only treasure brought back from the southern waters by the Niu Ma airship. There are still a lot of interesting samples in the warehouse waiting for him to ponder.

  Yin Fang's eyes were full of fanaticism, and he kept mumbling.

   "This time I really found a treasure!"
