This Game is Too Real

   Chapter 78 The Fifth Batch of Little Mengxin

  The square in front of the sanatorium was crowded and bustling.

   The little cute newcomers who just entered the game are the same as the previous batch, looking at the lifelike world in front of them, rubbing their eyes repeatedly, wishing to kneel on the ground and kiss the sand and soil under their feet.

   "This, this, this!"

   "Fuck, what's so special about virtual reality!? Wait, where's the logout button, I'm looking for it, so I can't go back."

   "Haha, don't be so troublesome, find a brick and pat your head and you will be logged out."

   "Woooooo, can I take a picture? This is too shocking."

   "Shocked my dad for a whole year!"

   "It's so big."

  The square was full of chatter and noise, but the old players of Wasteland OL have long been accustomed to it, so it is not surprising.

   After all, it was almost the same reaction when they first launched.

   With both feet on a piece of virtual soil, the oncoming wind is incomparably real. The impact on the world view and cognition cannot be described in words.

   Appeared as the manager of Vault 404. Chu Guang carried a plastic bag and walked in front of the newcomers, motioning them to be quiet, and then handing out newbie gift packs to them one by one.

   "Here are 5 copper coins."

   "You can take it to the warehouse to rent tools, or go to the granary to buy food, or trade with other players."

   Although these newcomers were noisy, they still respected the administrator who held the "power of life and death" in front of them.

   "Master Manager, are you really an NPC? I mean, are you really an AI? Not played by a human? Excuse me, but you look... too real!"

   "The manager is so handsome, are you a CP!"

   "NPC, how do you check your favorability? Where can I find it? Does this game have no player interface?"

   "Where's my health bar? Where's the blue bar?"

   "Hey, how do you play this game, who will bring me."

   "What's the use of sending money, can you give me a novice sword?"

Hey.

   Novice sword?

  Chu Guang was happy in his heart, but ignored it.

  Don't worry, you don't need that thing.

   As a serious and responsible NPC, Chu Guang did not answer a word, and skillfully handed out the novice reward.

   Confirming that nothing was missed, Chu Guang then looked at Brother Dao, who was standing beside him gearing up, with his hands behind his back, and said in a businesslike tone.

   "The security of the outpost is left to you."

  【Leave a person under the knife】Excitedly, he clasped his fists with both hands.

   "Follow your orders! Mr. Manager!"

   Before these little cuties could kneel down and kiss the soil at their feet, they were pulled by this passionate old foreman to dig trenches outside.

  I believe that after the trenches are dug, they should have a deeper understanding of this game by looking at the fruits of their labor.

rest assured.

  The other players also came here.

   Looking at these little players marching forward outside the North Gate, Chu Guang suddenly remembered an RTS game he played a long time ago.

  It's translated name is Wangquan Fantasy, because it's too unpopular, plus the sequel to pull the crotch, it is estimated that many people have not heard of it.

  The gameplay of this game is very interesting. Unlike mainstream RTS games that emphasize micro-manipulation, the players who rule the kingdom cannot "directly control every unit".

What does that mean?

  Simply put, if a monster appears in your territory, you can't use micro-manipulation to command the heroes of various professions in the kingdom to cut him, but you can put a bounty on that monster and sprinkle a handful of gold coins.

  Heroes will naturally team up to fight, and the heroes who kill monsters will gain experience and gold coins. With the money rewarded by the task, they will go to the tavern in the kingdom to spend, buy weapons and supplies in the item store, or learn skills and magic.

   If it is a monster that cannot be dealt with, the heroes will also fear and run away...unless you increase the monster's bounty. Driven by sufficient interests, even if the opponent is a giant dragon, the adventurers holding the broken copper and iron will bravely launch a charge.

  Chu Guang sometimes felt that what he was doing was actually similar.

  Although there is no way to put a blood bar on the top of the predators' heads, you can sprinkle a handful of silver coins on their heads.

   The warehouse of the outpost is surrounded by a group of "old players" above LV2.

   Since most tasks are related to material collection, this place has almost become a conventional task release point.

   "Damn it! A looter pays 20 silver and 200 tribute?! And can it stack with the original 5 silver prisoner reward?"

   "The extra reward of the Ten Commander is doubled!"

   "Who knows how many people there are in the Bloody Hand clan??? Online wait, I'm in a hurry!"

"Brother Meng, the opportunity to get rich overnight is here! No matter whether you rush or not, I will rush anyway! Have you formed a team? My strength, lack of perception and agility, let's go hand in hand to fight guerrillas! We will share the benefits together. !"

   "I still lack 1000 points to contribute to the citizens. If I have a liver, it will take a week, and 5 prisoners will be enough? Damn, this reward is okay! Does it count as long as you keep your breath?"

   "It doesn't matter if you're not angry! 10 silver coins! I have to move bricks for a day."

   The players who saw the reward went crazy, and even suspected that the manager had mislabeled the reward for the task.

   Unbeknownst to them, however, a certain "NPC" did this on purpose.

   Don’t look at the many rewards offered by the bounty, this task is not something that one person can do alone. Three-person groups and four-person groups are standard, so it’s reasonable to assign the rewards to everyone.

  According to the information, there are about 60 or 70 members of the Blood Hand clan, including several ten commanders, there is no problem in controlling the budget within 2,000 silver coins.

   It doesn't matter if it's over budget.

   Can it be a bad thing for players to have money?

   Obviously not!

  What is in this sanctuary that is not your own?

   The 40 new recruits who just came in are enough to fill the vacancies in the basic labor positions of the outpost.

   And those old players who have a deeper understanding of the game can buy guns and land with money, stimulate domestic demand, and develop new gameplay.

  Chu Guang felt that he who designed this model may be more genius than the first-generation manager who "wrapped the world into a game".

   simply perfect!

   At this time, someone finally noticed the need for levels at the bottom of the mission book.

   "Hey! The quest still has a level requirement? Why am I only LV1?"

   "Chop down trees in the power department, find a team for perception and agility... Wait, this seems to only say that LV2 is required to accept the task, and there is no restriction on LV2 teaming up with people of other levels?"

   "Big guy! Take me!"

   "What sequence are you?"

   "Intelligence!"

"roll."

   "Gee!"

  The new warehouse manager Luca sat on the chair in front of the door, guarding the ledger on the wooden door table, and turned a deaf ear to the chattering noise in front of the door.

   Yesterday evening, the new owner explained the work to him.

Starting today, he no longer needs to do farm work, he just needs to move the things brought by the residents in blue jackets into the warehouse, write them on the ledger with a few not too difficult symbols, and send them "payments" .

   That is a very strange metal coin.

  Luca didn't understand the value of this thing, and he had never heard of a survivor's settlement trading this thing.

   However, after receiving these coins, these blue jackets are a treasure, and it must be something very important to them.

   Luca did not want to think about these questions.

   Years of experience told him that knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.

   Seeing Chu Guang walking towards him, he immediately stood up tremblingly, clenched his right fist on his left chest, and saluted respectfully.

   "Sir, what are your orders?"

   Ignoring the curious players around, Chu Guang put the wooden basket in his hand on the table.

   "I have a few things here, you can sell them for me. It's the old rule I told you, when someone comes to buy it, you just tell him to pay according to the price on the label."

   Chu Guang took out the 6 reward points he harvested yesterday and opened the blind box, but maybe it was because his character was used last time, so he opened 6 lollipops this time.

   But fortunately, 2 of them have attribute bonuses, so it's not too bad.

  Chu Guang thought that the drawer could hardly be put down, so he grabbed two of them and brought them to the warehouse.

  Each lollipop is priced at 1 silver coin, and the one with buff is doubled.

   Such an expensive price may not be bought by anyone, but after all, it is also stored, it is better to use it to decorate the shelves of the store.

   "Good lord."

  Old Luca put the contents of the wooden basket on the shelf aside, and then affixed the label written by Chu Guang.

   At this moment, Chu Guang suddenly remembered something and asked.

   "By the way, is there sugarcane in the crops on Brown's farm?"

   "Sugar cane?" Old Luca looked blank, as if he had never heard of it.

  Chu Guang explained.

   "A crop that produces sugar."

   Hearing the sugar, old Luca finally understood and replied.

"My lord, I've been at Brown's Farm for twenty years and I haven't heard of a crop called sugar cane...but I know a little bit about sugar you're talking about. There's a crop called red beet on the farm, and it's pulled out of the ground. Much like radish, it can squeeze out red sugar juice, and after boiling, some small particles can be pulled out from the bottom, which should be the sugar you mentioned."

   Grow sugar beets?

  Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully.

   "Is that thing easy to sell?"

   "Is it good for sale... I don't know, but whether it's a merchant from the south or a businessman from the north, they will buy a little, but not too much. I heard that there is no salt worth much."

   In places where sugar is produced, sugar is of course less valuable than salt.

   It is not news that the cost of transporting a commodity in the wasteland may even be much higher than the cost of producing it.

   But sugar is a good thing.

  This thing can not only be eaten, it can also be used to make wine, and it can even be used as a weapon.

   In the coming spring, I have to find a way to get some seeds.

  Chu Guang immediately thought of Boulder City.

  There is the most likely place to buy what you need in the nearby area.

   "Sir, do you have any other orders?"

   "No, keep busy with your work."

   "Yes, my lord."

  Old Luca watched Chu Guang leave, then returned to his chair and sat down.

   At this time, many players became interested in the new products on the shelves and gathered around.

   Luca was so nervous that he was afraid that someone would steal it.

   However, the quality of these players is very high, and they just gathered around and discussed excitedly, but no one reached out to touch them.

   "Can this lollipop add attributes?! Really?!"

   "Chocolate flavor enhances the strength attribute by 10%... The duration is 10 hours. Damn, if this is a strength player, it will be unpleasant."

   "Strawberry flavor is perception, apple flavor is intelligence... At present, these three add-on attributes are twice as expensive as other lollipops!"

   "What? It's only twice as expensive, so you won't earn blood if you buy it! Well, this is two silver coins, old man, I'll get one!"

   "I'll get one too!"

   "Hey! Why is there only one left with intelligence! Forget it, buy it and send it to Teng Teng."

   After a while, the only three lollipops with attributes on the shelves were snapped up, leaving only twelve lollipops without attributes.

   "...Is it actually sold?"

   Staring at the six silver coins on the table, old Luca whispered.

   He couldn't read it, but he was shocked.
