This Game Is Too Realistic

"...The life support device is okay."

Looking at the report submitted by a certain player, Chu Guang had a dumbfounded expression on his face.

Pity.

Although he has the power to decide who to send gaming helmets to, he does not have the authority to "add new product lines."

and……

Isn’t eating three more meals a day a “reward”?

From what he learned, many players were quite happy to become a loser. Especially the group of drunkards headed by Lao Bai, their favorite thing to do is to get drunk online, and then continue drinking offline.

In fact, it’s not just about eating.

The fun and enjoyment that "Second Life" brings to players is not limited to cooking, but also includes and is not limited to washing feet and bald skin online, and running back to continue washing when offline.

There was really nothing Chu Guang could do about personal taste. After all, "Wasteland OL" was not a customized stand-alone game.

For such personal matters as "I feel full online and have no appetite to eat offline", I can only find a way to solve it myself.

But then again, why did this guy write this thing in his report to managers?

Could it be that the secret of opening a trumpet account was exposed?

A trace of doubt arose in Chu Guang's heart, but he gave it up after thinking for a while.

This possibility is very small.

According to a normal person's thinking, the young player should have felt that the game planners would actively peek at the screen of the game in the closed beta stage, especially for the "evaluation opinions" written by the players themselves, and they would definitely take the opportunity to take a sneak peek.

And actually it doesn’t matter even if you guess it.

The truth accidentally learned or guessed is just like the expired lottery numbers that happen to be dreamed about in a dream. It can neither be recognized nor used to redeem prizes.

Just knowing that there is such a thing is meaningless at all.

Just when Chu Guang was about to turn off the report, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, suddenly came over and said with great interest.

"In fact, it's not difficult from a technical point of view. The owner only needs to outsource the production of this part of the equipment to a company with relevant qualifications in the parallel world!"

According to its observations, many players and cloud players operate industries related to the game business in reality. Some of them make money by relying on poor information, some make money by relying on poor technology, and there are also those who exchange currency and sell peripherals.

Especially the currency exchanger, who does the biggest business, not only has the top players on the server joined him, but he also uses his advantage in silver coin reserves to expand his business scope into the fields of artificial intelligence and precision machinery manufacturing.

I believe that with that player’s ability, it shouldn’t be a big problem to build a cultivation cabin with less technical content in reality!

After Xiao Qi's words, Chu Guang just smiled faintly.

"I have considered the method you mentioned a long time ago."

"ah?"

Xiaoqi tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"Then why doesn't the master do this?"

Chu Guang thought for a while and said.

"Because... I don't really want to weaken their social relationships in reality. What they get from "Wasteland OL" is not just money and status in reality, but also knowledge, technology, experience, methods, principles, etc. .”

"They should use these things to bring some good changes to their hometowns, create their own era of prosperity, and explore their own future."

"Although I can't go back, it's still my hometown after all."

Whether they choose mild improvements or radical changes, Chu Guang believes they will eventually embark on a different path from the wasteland world.

Even if most players don't realize it yet, they are already united in fact.

And, they do have the energy to change the world.

…

The next morning.

Sisi, who was lying in the hotel, opened his eyes, stood up and walked to the door to check a few marks left on the door. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he walked into the bathroom and washed himself briefly before going out to the hotel. lobby.

This is a habit she developed during her travels, and it is also the habit shared by many players of camping out.

After all, you can no longer control the game character after you go offline.

Although VM has the functions of "online life monitoring and offline message reminder", this does not mean absolute safety and can only prevent fatal dangers.

When Sisi walked downstairs, four guides and bodyguards arranged for them by the Mammoth State authorities were already waiting in the lobby.

The leader's name is Bella, a young girl. She was wearing a straight military uniform, carrying an LD-assault rifle on her back. She had short, short hair that went above her ears, and her sharp eyes looked like she had been on the battlefield.

Judging from her epaulettes, her military rank was sergeant. As for the specific position, Aki did not mention it, but she was probably squad leader, which was equivalent to the captain of ten in the old imperial military system.

As for the others, judging from their military ranks, they are all big-head soldiers, but there are no traces of training on their bodies, and they do not look like people who have been on the battlefield. They may be new recruits who have recently joined the army. Their daily jobs must be service or civilian work.

After seeing Sisi, Bella put her right fist against her chest, performed a military salute, and said politely.

"Dear guests from the Alliance, good morning. Did you have a good rest last night?"

"Good morning, I had a good rest..." Sisi gave her a relaxed smile, and then said, "Don't be so polite, just call me Sisi."

Bella had a troubled expression on her face, but she nodded calmly.

"Okay Miss Sis."

The task assigned to her by her superiors is to do her best to meet all the reasonable needs of these distinguished guests from the alliance, and to leave a positive impression on the alliance as much as possible.

If the Mammoth State authorities want to survive in this crisis-ridden wasteland, they must obtain the support of at least one major force in the wasteland.

She knew exactly how important her mission was.

Looking at Ms. Bella who was overly serious, Sisi made a helpless expression, but it was difficult to say anything.

Seeing that Sisi didn't speak, Bella continued to speak politely.

"What are your plans for today?"

"Well," Sisi thought for a while and looked in the direction of the stairs, "I'm waiting for my companion to get up, and then we plan to walk around and check out the environment here. Oh, by the way, is there anything nearby? A place to eat? The kind where locals often go to eat. We plan to have breakfast."

Bella said immediately after hearing this.

"A place to eat? I understand, just let me know when you are ready to leave."

While the two were talking, a big white bear and a girl with short hair came down the stairs.

Not long after, Sesame Paste also rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned and went downstairs.

Accompanied by four bodyguards and guides, three people and one bear left the hotel and soon came to a street full of fireworks.

Standing at the entrance of the street, Bella looked at Sisi and his group and said with some restraint.

"This is the snack street of the parish. The shopkeepers are all residents from Silver Moon Bay. They are the only ones who generally have the habit of eating breakfast... I don't know if it will suit your taste."

Sisi smiled when he heard this.

"Your worries are unnecessary."

Tails interjected energetically.

"Oh! That's right! The residents of Silver Moon Bay actually learned their eating habits from us!"

Bella was stunned for a moment.

"Eh? Is that... like this? That's really great. I've been worried that you guys wouldn't get used to it."

She really didn't know there was such a connection.

Sesame paste said with a smile.

"You are too polite. In fact, there is no need. Everyone is very easy-going."

"By the way, ramen shops have opened here, and it has spread too far..." Rourou glanced towards the street, and was surprised to find that this place was a replica of Shuguang City North Street.

Not only ramen shops, but also those selling buns and shaomai, soy milk and fried dough sticks, and even fish meal and hot dry noodles.

The tempting fragrance aroused the greed in her stomach, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva several times.

Tails standing next to her did the same, nodding his chin in relief.

"Not bad, Hai Ji

Rourou couldn't help but complain.

"Haiji

Tails said proudly.

"Isn't this obvious? Which young person would use his real name as his online name?"

"By the way, don't you want to have breakfast?" Sesame Paste looked at Bella curiously and asked.

Bella shook her head, the ends of her hair swaying slightly by her ears.

"That was too luxurious for us. We used to only eat one meal, and occasionally we had to make do with it... We only had two meals recently."

"Sorry." Realizing that he had asked an inappropriate question, his voice sounded a little apologetic.

But Bella smiled and said nonchalantly.

"It's nothing, that was all in the past."

The group of people walked to the ramen shop and sat down. Bella originally wanted to pay, but was stopped by Sisi.

"We changed the money when we disembarked. I'll pay for it."

As she spoke, she left two hundred-dollar Mammoth banknotes on the table and continued talking to the boss.

"Here are eight bowls of noodles."

Bella and the other three guides were a little surprised when they saw that this distinguished guest wanted to treat them to noodles.

"This...is not good."

Looking at Bella who looked embarrassed, she smiled and said.

"It's just a bowl of noodles, it's not a bribe."

Bella waved her hands quickly and said.

"That was not what I meant……"

Sisi pulled out the chair in front of the table and said with a smile.

"Then sit down and eat together."

Although she was not in the habit of eating breakfast, Bella was not embarrassed to refuse the kindness of the distinguished guests, so she sat at the dining table with the other three guide ladies.

Sisi secretly observed the four of them. Their reserved looks did not seem to be fake. It was obvious that they rarely ate in such "luxury" restaurants.

Although it is not clear the living standards of the top leaders of the Mammoth State authorities, the style of work at the grassroots level is relatively simple for the time being.

In addition, she also noticed that in addition to the exchange rate of mammoth coins being similar to that of gallons, the official exchange rate against silver coins was also 10:1. In terms of purchasing power in the local market, the former is even slightly higher than the latter.

A bowl of ramen here costs about 15 Mammoth Coins, while in Golden Gallon Port it costs 20 gallons.

This may be related to the fact that Mammoth Coin has just been launched and there is not much circulation in the market.

Of course, whether it is 15 mammoths or 20 gallons, it is still much cheaper than the 3 to 4 silver coins a bowl of beef noodles in Dawn City, although the weight of the former is slightly smaller than the latter.

In addition, because Mammoth State is relatively poor and has limited foreign exchange reserves, Mammoth coins cannot be freely exchanged like gallons. Locals can only use them as "consumption coupons" and only foreign businessmen can use them at designated exchange offices according to their respective quotas. exchange.

Of course, there is no limit to exchanging silver coins for mammoth coins, and you can even get a few points of discount by exchanging large amounts.

The authorities seem to have learned from the lessons of Tiger State and Leopard State and adopted stricter foreign exchange control measures, rather than blindly copying the wealth-making experience of Jingallang Port.

While waiting for the noodles to be served, she had already learned a lot about the local purchasing power and living standards.

But after all, this is the parish where residents of Silver Moon Bay live, and the cost of living is obviously higher than in other areas of Mammoth City.

If you want to know the real situation in the local area, you should go and see where the locals live.

Sisi was thinking about what kind of excuse he should find to let Bella take him to where the locals live, when the familiar and greasy voice floated over from the door.

"Hey! Si! There are Tails, Sesame Paste and Ms. Rourou... Haha, what a coincidence, we meet again!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Taili, who was immersed in eating noodles, raised his head, smiled and said hello.

"Oh! Skin seller! Good morning!"

"Ahem... don't call me a skin seller again. I also have other businesses, okay!" Hearing that rude name, Mogawei glared at Taitail with a look of embarrassment, but in the end he didn't get angry.

Even if it wasn't for the sake of the goddess, he still had to restrain himself for the sake of money.

Shareholder of White Bear Knights Bank and Baiyue Company, no matter which title he held, it was too heavy for him as a shipping guy.

Seeing those blazing eyes looking at him, Sisi sighed. Although he was not interested in this glib guy, he still said hello out of politeness.

"morning."

Sitting at the next table, Mogavi said helplessly.

"You are still so cold."

After taking a small sip of the noodle soup, she replied casually.

"Why are you so enthusiastic so early in the morning? What do you want?"

"No, I just came here to have breakfast, and I plan to go to the market in the nearby city later."

Seeing the gun-carrying bodyguard staring at him intently, Mogavi spread his hands to show that he meant no harm, then took out a banknote and handed it to the waiter next to him.

"Bring me a bowl of noodles too... just like the lady next to you."

"Yes sir."

Not wanting to get involved in the personal affairs of these big guys, the waiter hurriedly hid behind the counter after taking the banknotes.

Sisi's eyes flickered slightly, he glanced at Mogavi who took out his chopsticks and was about to eat noodles, and asked with interest.

"Do you know much about the market around here?"

Seeing the interest in his eyes, Mogavi immediately showed a delighted smile and started talking.

"Of course! Before you came here, I had been doing business here for two months. No one knows the market here better than me... Speaking of which, what business are you here for?"

Sisi didn't hide anything and said it bluntly.

"We imported a batch of grain from Silver Moon Bay, as well as some anti-inflammatory drugs and malaria prevention drugs."

"Anti-inflammatory drugs, this is a good thing. I heard that the demand on the front line is quite large... However, the profit margin is still too low for food. The flood happened after the autumn harvest. Food here is actually not that scarce, especially for food. Those who can afford food." Mogavi shook his head, his expression seemed to be a bit pity.

Sisi continued to ask with interest.

"Then what business is there to do here?"

"You asked the right person! I won't tell most people, but what you say...I can reveal it to you for free," Mogawi raised his eyebrows mysteriously and lowered his voice and said, "Priceless jewelry , handicrafts from Ideal City, and precious furs...especially the furs that are loved by rich people in the desert, can be sold for big prices here!"

Hearing this sentence, Taiwei and Sesame looked at each other with confused expressions. Rourou, who was sitting next to him, was quite blunt and looked at him puzzledly and asked.

"The furs that are loved by the wealthy people in the desert...why don't you sell them directly to the wealthy people in the desert?"

Sesame paste also asked in confusion.

"Yes... can the price offered by the people here be higher than that of Silver Moon Bay?"

Mogavi smiled mysteriously and continued talking eloquently.

"You don't understand this. No matter how poor the place is, there are rich people. They buy these luxury goods not only for their own use, but also to preserve their value. Therefore, they can even give a more generous premium than the wealthy people in the desert. "

Si Si asked thoughtfully.

"Are there many rich people here?"

Mogavi laughed and said.

"That's a lot more than you think! Especially the old nobles. Although the new authorities bought their land at a low price, they also bought it with money...with mammoth coins."

Hearing these words, Sisi's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and he could see the clue at a glance.

"I see, you are in the business of laundering money..."

Mogavi gave a thumbs up and said with a smile.

"As expected of you, nothing can escape your eyes."

Rourou looked at Sisi in confusion and asked in a low voice in Mandarin.

"What do you mean...why does it become money laundering?"

Sisi said in a very soft voice.

"This is actually quite understandable. The Lasi authorities issued a large amount of mammoth coins from the old aristocrats to buy their land that was flooded. However, the mammoth coins were not freely convertible, so the old aristocrats used the money to buy relatively valuable assets. Luxury goods. These things are easier to transport than coins, and they can be exchanged for a lot of silver coins as long as they are transferred to Silver Moon Bay."

Although Baiyue Province is rich in furs, there are differences in rarity among them. Some are cheaper than cotton fabrics, while some are ridiculously expensive.

As far as she knew, a high-quality blood mink fur could even be sold for millions of silver coins.

There is a newcomer on the forum who got rich overnight by catching a blood mink by chance.

After hearing these words, Rourou's face showed an expression of emotion.

"These nobles are real dogs..."

Sesame paste still couldn't understand and looked at Sisi's question in confusion.

"But...why did Laxi give them money? Can't we just take the land away from them?"

Si Si explained patiently.

"Paying money to buy also has the advantage of paying money to buy. A regime cannot achieve dominance over the region by relying on fear alone, not to mention that the Yue Clan resistance army is an external force. If they want to achieve rule and want to abolish slavery and liberate productivity, they must Develop some level of cooperation with local local forces.”

"Of course, it doesn't rule out that Lacy didn't think that much at all. He might just be referring to what the Burning Corps did in Golden Gallon Port."

It was the same when the Burning Legion occupied Golden Gallen Port.

Apart from throwing several war criminals in Nihak into prison, Elder Brother Fang and the others did not take anything away from other local residents, no matter whether they were nobles or civilians.

Although many old nobles were abandoned by the carriage of the times because they could not adapt to the new era, the entire process of class mobility was carried out in a relatively mild state, at least without triggering a large-scale backlash from conservative forces.

Lacy made some improvements on this basis, especially on the issue of land.

After all, the Alliance does not need to make money from land, nor does Golden Gallon Port. However, the Mammoth State's economy is mainly based on agriculture and has zero industrial base. It can only focus on land and population.

After a pause, Sisi continued thinking.

"In addition to winning people's hearts, I speculate that he also hopes that the old nobles will use their money to invest in industry. Even if they go to Mammoth City to hire people to build some houses, it will be helpful to the economy of Mammoth State..."

"However, those old nobles are obviously not all optimistic about him. Some of them may have actually invested in setting up industries with their money, but it is obvious that some are just thinking about how to exchange the mammoth coins or commodities in their hands into silver coins and cash out. field."

Seeing Si Si communicating with his companions in a language he didn't understand, and the soldiers looking at him with murderous eyes, Mogawe felt uncomfortable all over, and his buttocks

Of course, he is not worried about a few big soldiers reporting on him.

Not to mention that he is from Silver Moon Bay, and he enjoys certain "immunity" in the local area.

He can do this shady business, and he obviously has his own backing in the local area.

The most important thing is that the authorities have not enacted relevant laws to prevent him from doing this?

Even if it's really unethical.

"Ahem...I still have something to do. I'm leaving first. If you are interested in the market here, we can chat alone next time." After finishing the noodles in a hurry, Mogawe threw down his chopsticks and looked at the person sitting at the next table. Sisi raised his eyebrows, then stood up and left.

Watching the figure disappear from the door, a female soldier sitting at the table couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

"These worms..."

The foreign exchange in Mammoth State was brought out by the overseas workers in piles of bricks, but there were always these villains trying to take the little money out of their pockets.

Bella glanced at the girl, who immediately realized that she shouldn't talk nonsense and quickly shut her mouth.

But Tails, who was sitting nearby, heard her murmur and nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Tai Tai feels the same way... He even steals money from the poor, his conscience is so bad!"

Bella was silent for a while, looking at the door with complicated eyes, and finally sighed and said.

"Although that is said, we still need these people...Only by ourselves, I am afraid it will be a problem to survive."

Rourou looked at her puzzled.

“Can’t we just put the good people in and kick the bad people out?”

Bella shook her head.

"Sir Lacy said, Mammoth State is like a moldy old house. We can't just live in it and not care about anything. Not only do we have to clean the place, we also have to find ways to open a window for ventilation. Among them There will definitely be a few flies and mosquitoes mixed in, but you can’t just open the window just because you’re afraid of flies crawling and mosquitoes biting you.”

Tails' eyes widened in surprise, and he whispered in the "code language" exclusive to Vault 404.

"I giao... Is this what that Lacy can say?"

There was also a surprised expression on Sisi's face, and she also felt that these words were not something that the bandit-like guy could say.

After regaining her composure, she suggested cautiously.

"Actually...your Mr. Lacy is right, but why not put a screen on the window?"

Bella was stunned for a moment.

"...install a window screen?"

Sisi nodded and continued.

"Even in the Alliance, we do not have no supervision on silver coins. Even now, we are constantly improving the legislation in this area. You have just started. I don't recommend that you completely copy our practices, but you may wish to consider establishing a The central bank that formulates monetary policy guides more funds to flow to places where society needs it, rather than expecting the conscience of businessmen. These people have no concept of conscience."

Mogavi didn't dare to do money laundering when he was in French Fries Port. After all, one fine would be enough to bankrupt him.

This guy is actually not a bad person and has done some good things. He is just greedy for money.

Bella looked at Sisi hesitantly.

"But... Mr. Liszt is still relatively good, and we all have a good impression of him."

Speaking of this, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something and added in a low voice.

"Ah, of course there are you... I think you are all very good people, and you won't be like that guy, always trying to find ways to take advantage of our loopholes."

Hearing this innocent statement, Sisi couldn't help but put his forehead on his head and said helplessly.

"He has been trained by our managers, and... with his asset size and status, there is no need to take risks. It might be different if someone else replaces him."

Like Brother Mosquito.

That guy just wants to make a living, even to a certain extent, not to make money at all.

Although this guy is actually not a bad person, he can't say whether he will do bad things.

After thinking about it, there seemed to be some truth to what she said, and the expression on Bella's face gradually became serious, and she looked at her and said sincerely.

"I understand...Thank you for your suggestion. I will try my best to report it to my superiors."

Seeing her open-minded and studious look, Sisi couldn't help but smile and put forward the idea that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.

"We are just planning to expand the White Bear Knights' banking business here. Maybe we can provide you with some suggestions by then."

Bella's eyes lit up and she looked at her excitedly, almost standing up from the table.

"Really? Thank you so much!"

The look is so similar.

It was just like the way the wastelanders looked up at the Pioneer when it first arrived at the outskirts of Qingquan City.

Si Si was filled with emotion for a while, and looked at her and continued.

"Of course it's true...but before that, I want to know more about the local situation. If it's convenient, can you take us to a nearby city where locals live?"

Hearing this request, Bella's face showed a trace of hesitation, but she finally nodded.

"No problem... Although there is nothing to see there, I might disappoint you."
