Chapter 107 Devil Moth's Nest (Subscribe)

   "Why did you choose such a strange name?"

   "Is it weird?"

   "No, the greenhouse farm... It's more like going too far, it's a bit strange."

   "Hey! Can you blame me? Hey, I wrote the application and handed it in, only to remember that I forgot to choose an annoying name."

   "By the way, what are you going to call?"

   "QQ Farm."

   "Poof."

  [Makabazi] found [Edge Paddle] that he had contacted on the forum, and the two little players wore animal fur coats, carried wooden bows and javelins, and set off towards the east gate to open up wasteland.

  Although Chu Guang was very curious about why they walked through the east gate instead of the west gate, and carried wooden bows and javelins instead of hoes and axes, but after thinking about it, he finally ignored them.

evening.

  Chu Guang was too lazy to cook, so he went shopping around the North Gate and found that Yaya had stewed a pot of venison and mushroom soup, so he put a silver coin on the table.

   "I want two bowls."

"okay!"

  Yao Ya, who took the bowl, vigorously filled two big bowls of broth with a spoon, and gave it to Chu Guang with a sweet smile on his face.

   "Be careful it's hot."

  The players holding the bowls next to them saw it, and instantly felt that the meat in the bowls was no longer fragrant, and they all started shouting.

   "Boss Crow, you are eccentric!"

   "Exactly! You were not gentle at all when you gave it to me!"

   "There's a huge piece of leg in Mr. Manager's bowl! I saw it!"

   "Exactly, why is there only one piece of meat in our soup!"

   "Yes! And it's **** meat!"

   "There should be no distinction between high and low in food! My wife said it!"

  Yuya blushed and hurriedly argued.

   "What is **** meat! Me, am I that kind of person?"

   Besides, what happened to the eccentricity?

  Is there a problem with curry favor with NPC? How dare you say you haven't licked it? Hehe, are you embarrassed to say "Dear Manager" one by one?

   Anyway, I triggered a hidden mission!

   "I don't care, unless you give me another bowl!"

   "I want to fart!"

  Chu Guang smiled like an old father, ignored these noisy little players, turned around and walked through the north gate, and went to the weapon shop of little sister Xia Yan.

  After several rounds of renovations and remodels, the current weapon shop has completely changed.

  The original mud wall has become a regular red brick wall, and a layer of dust has been plastered inside and out, and a wooden floor has been laid on the ground.

  If it was the small dilapidated house from before, it would have been crushed by the snow long ago.

   It can be seen that the players love Boss Xia even more than themselves. Because of the hand-painted CG pictures on the forum, she is almost becoming a mascot.

   No, it should be said already?

  When Chu Guang came here, Xia Yan fell asleep lying on the table, and there was a pile of freshly made bullets in the wooden basket next to him.

  Now the players are playing happily at the north gate, but no one comes here to disturb her.

  Chu Guang didn't wake her up, but gently placed the bowl next to her.

  Then he found a chair in the room, sat down by the brazier, added a piece of firewood to it, and drank the bowl of fresh and delicious venison mushroom soup while roasting on the fire.

  Sparks are floating on the fire.

  The aroma of broth gradually filled the room.

  The nose buried in the crook of his arm moved slightly, and Xia Yan, who was slowly waking up, looked around in a daze. When he saw Chu Guang sitting in the room, he instantly woke up.

  Looking at Xia Yan who woke up, Chu Guang said casually.

   "You have indeed relaxed a lot recently."

   After being touched by someone for so long without realizing it, and only waking up after smelling the smell of meat, I'm afraid I won't survive two episodes in the wasteland.

  Being caught for being lazy, Xia Yan looked embarrassed, like a child who did something wrong, buried her head and dared not look at him, and whispered.

   "I, I just slept for a while after I finished, I'm not lazy... When did you come in?"

   "Just now," seeing Xia Yan's nervous look, Chu Guang joked with a smile, "As for being so nervous?"

  Xia Yan hesitated for a long time without speaking.

  Chu Guang thought for a while, and then said.

"Starting tomorrow, I will pay you every day... well, 10 silver coins as wages, this month will be settled daily, and next month will start monthly. I will give you an indicator every month, mainly about the production of ammunition and weapons. You can treat it as your task, and after completing the task, you can get a bonus of 10% to 30% of your monthly salary. In addition, your bonus will also be related to the profit of the weapon shop."

  Xia Yan hurriedly asked.

   "What if it's not finished?"

  Chu Guang shrugged.

   "It doesn't matter, anyway, there are 30 revolver rifles in stock now, and there are more than 4,000 rounds of ammunition, which is enough for the time being."

  The Bloody Hand clan has been destroyed, and now the only threat in the area is the mutants on 76th Street, but they seem to have their own problems to face, and they haven't set their sights on Linghu Wetland Park yet.

  Sudden cold winter is both a risk and an opportunity.

  This natural barrier will buy the residents of No. 404 shelter a valuable development time. Food, fuel, and building materials are the key. In contrast, the demand for weapons is not so urgent.

   Peeking at Chu Guang, Xia Yan whispered.

   "... To be precise, there are actually 14, and 16 were sold a while ago, and there are more than 2,000 rounds of bullets."

  Chu Guang didn't care.

   "It's okay, there are still a lot of rags from the looters in the inventory, enough for those little buddies to play for a while."

   "Why are you so nice all of a sudden...you actually paid me a salary." Xia Yan asked in a low voice.

  In Boulder City, only when the big people need the little people like them to die, will they suddenly show kindness inexplicably.

  Although the possibility of finding a buyer in winter is very small, Xia Yan is still a little scared, after all, this man left a deep impression on her.

"Because I think it's almost time," Chu Guang said after thinking for a while, "Not only you, but also old Luca, everyone who works for me will get paid, more or less. You don't have to treat it as a reward, this It's the part you deserve after your hard work."

   Simply put, you need to stimulate consumption.

   It is difficult to rely on players to consume the things produced by the players themselves. Allowing NPCs to purchase the things produced by the players appropriately can promote the expansion of production by the players.

  Xia Yan nodded with a vague understanding.

  She actually wanted to say that if she really wanted to pay her, she could use those white plastic sheets, and they didn’t need many, one a day would do.

   But she was timid, so she could only comfort herself.

  Actually, silver coins are also quite good, 10 silver coins...I heard that two chips can be exchanged for one silver coin. Thinking about it, wouldn’t it be 20 points of chips per day? Monthly salary of 600 chips!

  In Boulder City, an assault rifle is only 150 chips, and the monthly income can sell four guns, a proper middle-class citizen!

  Black hehe...

  Dreaming this dream, Xia Yan amused herself.

  Chu Guang ignored the demented expression on her face, and continued talking on his own.

"In addition, you will get a 'budget' from the 'profit' of the weapon shop, which is used to issue tasks to the 'players'. Just like I taught you, you can guide them to do some Things that need to be done by you yourself. For example, filling the shells with gunpowder, oiling the receiver, and even helping you look around the store for a while..."

"You can use your imagination freely for this part of the content. Anyway, you know more about these minutiae than I do. Your VM can help you edit. If you don't understand something, you can contact my assistant Xiao Qi through the VM. Find it for others as appropriate. Do something to make your own job easier, too."

   Sitting upright and listening to what Chu Guang said, Xia Yan didn't dare to move or interrupt.

   But the bowl of venison and mushroom soup was so fragrant that she couldn't help sneaking a few times, swallowing her saliva again and again.

   Noticing her small movements, Chu Guang, who had finished explaining the matter, smiled and said in a relaxed tone.

   "You can figure out the rest yourself, I won't talk nonsense. The bowl of venison and mushroom soup is my treat, so drink it while it's hot, there's a piece of venison leg in it."

  Xia Yan immediately picked up the bowl and started to devour it.

  When she put down the bowl, she had a happy expression on her face, and said full of praise regardless of the oil and soup dipped in her mouth.

   "Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this is so delicious !”   

   "You can go to the North Gate after get off work. It's getting more and more lively there. I guess you haven't been there."

  Chu Guang stood up from the chair, put the empty bowl on the wooden table next to the brazier, and counted out 10 silver coins and put them next to the bowl.

   "When you finish drinking, help me wash up later."

   "Thanks for the time."

  Until Chu Guang walked out the door, Xia Yan, who was holding a bowl in his hand, didn't recover for a long time.

   "!"

  What word did this big devil say? !

   She can't remember if it happened before, but she is very clear about how ruthless and hard-hearted this man is.

   Not only is he ruthless to his enemies, but he is also merciless to his own people.

  She saw it with her own eyes. He ordered the corpses of those soldiers who died in battle to be sent to the furnace and burned with the enemy. He didn't even leave a grave for them.

  Such a cruel and merciless man suddenly showed his favor to him, he must have some intentions!

  But for some reason, Xia Yan suddenly felt that she was not as scared as before.

how to say?

  When this man threatened her that she would throw herself out to fend for herself if she didn't work hard, she really felt quite scary.

  But it seems that after getting along for a while, he didn't really drive himself out.

   Sipping the soup in the bowl, Xia Yan couldn't think of anything trashy to say for a while.

never mind.

   Anyway, he didn't do anything excessive to me.

  This venison is quite delicious.

  For the sake of treating my uncle to drink soup, I will help him wash the dishes later.

  …

  After coming out of the weapon shop, Chu Guang found Old Luca and explained to him about the salary.

  Having been a slave for most of his life, when he heard that his master planned to send him money, Old Luca had a blank expression on his face.

  Chu Guang was really too lazy to explain what salary was, so he simply said.

   "You just treat it as a reward."

   "Save it to buy some food or use, go to the woodworking hut to buy some furniture, support the business of the 'players', or save it to build a decent house for yourself."

  Hearing the word reward, old Luca was moved to tears. He wanted to kneel down at that time, but when he remembered that the master had said that people in shelter 404 were not allowed to kneel, he immediately put his right fist on his chest.

   "Thank you for your generosity! Master."

  If thinking this way would make him feel more at ease, Chu Guang didn't bother to correct his thoughts.

  After explaining the work matters, Chu Guang then asked about the training of the two new warehouse managers.

   It has to be said that these survivors who have experienced serf experience are naturally adaptable to service positions such as "warehouse management".

   After all, for them, in Brown Farm, these positions are only available to the top serfs.

   In the next step, there are only the servants, stewards and soldiers of the farmer.

  But those people can no longer be regarded as serfs, or even completely slaves, they are more like servants with status. Most of them inherited their father's business from their sons, and there were only very few opportunities for serfs to be selected to work in the master's house.

  So both of them cherish the opportunity in their hands very much, and the learning speed is quite fast. It is estimated that they will be able to put on the VM and start working officially in a few days.

  Chu Guang was very relieved about Luka's work attitude. After a brief inspection, he turned and went back to the nursing home.

   Just as he was thinking about whether to return to the shelter to play the game he just played, or go to the third floor to stay with Xiao Qi for a while, suddenly there was a commotion from the direction of the north gate.

  Similar scenes always feel a little familiar.

  I saw a little player with a broken leg, lying on a stretcher, being carried by two other players, trotting in from the north gate.

   Chu Guang recognized him.

   If I remember correctly, it should be in the afternoon.

   This guy followed【Makabazi】together, and the two of them carried wooden bows and javelins out of the east gate, singing happily.

   At that time, I was still thinking, why did they walk from the east gate, did they go the wrong way. Now that I think about it, it's probably not that I went the wrong way, but that I rushed to die from the very beginning.

  Chu Guang had a weird expression, turned on the system, opened the player list, and sure enough, he saw that Brother Ba's icon was grayed out, obviously he was completely cold.

  Going forward, Chu Guang asked with a frown as he looked at [Paddle on the Edge] lying on a stretcher with his consciousness faltering.

   "What's your situation?"

   "Moths! A lot of moths! And one moth is so big, it's almost as long as my arm! Their teeth are like scissors!"

  The expression on the face of the edge paddling is not sure whether it is excitement or panic. In short, the emotion is very excited, and the hands are gesturing in the air indiscriminately.

"We went to the community in the northeast of the Wetland Park on the map, where there is a ruins of an artificial greenhouse! We originally planned to see if we could find something useful in it, but after a lot of effort, we went in through the safe passage. As soon as we walked to the exit, we saw a long row of cocoons hanging on the net! We were stunned at the time, and just wanted to study what it was, and then we walked to the front of the makabazi and were eaten by moths. !"

   [Construction boy and Brick], who was carrying a stretcher, kept listening with his ears up. When he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help swallowing.

   "Ew, gnaw?"

"Yes! I just gnawed it!" Panting on the edge of the water, ignoring the bleeding wound, he continued excitedly, "Seeing that he couldn't run away, brother Maca took off the VM and threw it to me. Not daring to look back, I rushed to the safe passage desperately! As a result, I almost rushed out, but was still bitten by two big moths on my legs..."

"Fortunately, these insects are not resistant to cold. I even crawled out of the safe passage, but the moths behind me didn't chase them out. The two big moths biting my legs didn't have much strength. I stabbed them a few times with a dagger. The knife was finally killed, and even this leg was eaten to only half of it."

   It’s okay to eat only half of it...

  The water on the edge spoke vividly, but Chu Guang frowned when he heard it beside him.

   This is thanks to the shielding of the over-limit pain sensation. If it were another survivor, the pain would be too painful to breathe after the first bite.

   "Devil Moth."

  Chu Guang took a deep breath, glanced at his **** broken leg, and immediately issued a terminal illness diagnosis.

   "You're missing a leg, and you don't even have any bones. This is not an injury that can be cured by the training cabin. Without the feature of 'broken limb regeneration', no matter how strong your recovery power is, it's useless. Do you understand what I mean?"

  The most humane thing to do is to kick off the line, lock the login, and send it directly to the furnace.

   It doesn’t really matter whether you are dead or not. Without the access of the conscious body, the clone is just an empty shell without a mind. Whether you die or not does not affect the recovery of active substances.

   Edge paddling, of course, understood the hint from the manager. This is an old tradition in Vault 404, so he nodded at the speed of light.

   "I know! I understand, my lord manager, but if I have to die, can I choose a way to die?"

   This is a reasonable request.

  Chu Guang nodded.

   "No problem, how do you want to die?"

   Paddle on the edge of the water with an embarrassed smile, and said shyly.

   "I want to try it, the gallows of justice at the door... Hehe, I'm a little curious."

  Chu Guang: "..."

   This was the first time he heard such a strange request.

   No matter.

  Being able to keep a whole body is convenient for recycling.

  …

   Just like that, he was just carried into the edge of the base for paddling, and then carried to the gallows outside the north gate by two players.

   "Wait a minute, let me think of a cool line, I want to die like a hero—"

   "Stop talking nonsense, get down!"

   "My Karma—"

  The two players finished processing quickly, and sent the edge man with crooked neck to the morgue.

  His equipment and VM will be stored in the locker in the buffer room, and he will be a hero again in three days.

  Chu Guang went to the third floor of the outpost and found Xiaoqi.

   "A nest of devil moths was found in the northeast of Linghu Wetland Park."

   "Devil Moth?"

   "A kind of insect species, please help me mark three skulls on the map first, this thing is not easy to deal with."

  Xiao Qi tilted the camera.

   "Do you want to ban players from entering that area?"

   "It's not necessary, just a warning," Chu Guang thought for a while, and said, "Restrictions including Street 76 can be lifted, but the danger signs remain."

   "I'm curious how these players will handle this tricky problem."
