Chapter 126 New Order!

   North Gate of Bette Street.

   Looking at the guns and ammunition being transported out in the caravan, Old Walter, who was watching the captives, clicked his tongue, and his heart was mixed.

   "If that guy fired the gun earlier, he wouldn't necessarily lose."

The survivors of   Bate Street never touched a gun, because their esteemed Lord Mayor had no intention of making them affordable.

   As for the reason, he can think clearly.

   Compared with the looters who can be appeased with money, the scavengers under his feet who are hungry are what he is really afraid of.

   Old Charlie, who had just returned from comforting the survivors, happened to hear these words, smiled lightly, and replied casually.

   "The result is the same."

"why?"

"Do you have faith?"

  Old Walter was taken aback.

"Belief?"

  Charlie glanced at the blue jackets who were full of energy and sticking to their posts, and said meaningfully.

"they have."

   The reason why this world has become a wasteland has never been because of a terrible weapon, but the despair of witnessing the collapse of heaven.

Before he was sold here, he had seen a rich man who used a bionic robot to plow his fields, a war madman who installed a nuclear fusion engine on an airship, and he had seen eight modified prosthetics installed and turned himself into an octopus. madman.

  Many of his compatriots who came out of a shelter with him were still very good people before the door opened, but went crazy not long after they came out.

   There are many people who choose to commit suicide because they cannot accept the cruel reality.

   And these blue coats seem to be the other extreme.

how to say……

   They seem to be a little optimistic, not normal?

   Old Charlie couldn't think of how to describe their state.

   But one thing is certain, if not even the despair of the collapse of heaven can destroy them, then there must be some kind of strong belief in their hearts.

   didn't notice what Old Charlie was thinking, the two little players standing guard at the door were passing the time with nonsense.

   "I have the following six points of view on the situation of Afghan Khan..."

   "You are right, but the resident population of the Vatican is 800 people, and there are 47 million kangaroos in Australia alone. If the kangaroos decide to invade the Vatican, then each Vatican will kill 58,750 kangaroos."

   "By the way, the old man seems to be looking at us?"

   "Is there a task you plan to do for us?"

   "No, there is no exclamation mark on the map, and he doesn't wear a VM."

   "Forget it, let's leave that old guy alone... By the way, where did I just say?"

  …

  The generator that powers the castle is located on the first floor. It is the same model that Chu Guang bought from Liszt before. It is a combination of a wood vaporizer and a gas generator.

   However, the power of this firewood generator is much higher than that of the one that Chu Guang bought before. The four feed ports are connected to four huge cylinders, and the maximum output power can reach 150KW!

   It would be a waste to put a generator in this castle.

  Chu Guang intends to bring it back.

   At present, the "grid" power of the outpost is only 10KW, and it is already very nervous to supply power to an active substance extractor.

  150KW, can do a lot of things!

   However, Chu Guang had to use it before moving it back.

  The players skillfully stuffed the firewood into the feed inlet, pulled the switch, and as the generator started working again, the lighting in the castle was restored.

   Chu Guang, carrying a sledgehammer, stepped into the castle and took the elevator directly to the top floor.

  According to player reports, this is the old town mayor's study.

  Chu Guang told them not to rummage through the things here, and wait until they come.

   These players did so obediently, but except for the study, the walls were not gnawed down by them.

  The elevator stopped.

   Looking at the fireplace directly opposite and the neatly stacked triangular piles of firewood in the fireplace, Chu Guang couldn't help but smashed his tongue.

   "How corrupt."

   Even the corridors are heated!

   Does this old leech usually wear no clothes at home?

   The picture was a bit irritating, Chu Guang decided that it would be better not to make up for it.

   Passing through the carpeted corridor, Chu Guang went straight to the study on the VM map that he marked with a special mark.

   It is more like a collection room than a study room.

  In addition to some novels, poetry collections, and cooking recipes from the pre-war era, there are also some bizarre gadgets and ornaments on the bookshelf.

  Chu Guang reached out and took out a small brass-colored pistol from the bookshelf, held it in his hand for a while and looked at it for a while, then aimed at the wall beside him and pulled the trigger, only to see a small flame burst from the muzzle.

"lighter?"

   In addition to the lighter with the same shape as the pistol, there is also a Beetle clock made of golden mainspring and gears, which looks very valuable.

  Chu Guang even found several gold bars in a rusted iron box.

   It seems that in this area of ​​Qingquan City, gold is not a rare thing, at least not as valuable as those colorful chips.

  Otherwise, it would not have been thrown here.

   "Tsk, this iron rooster."

   "I don't have a single chip left for Lao Tzu!"

   admired his loot for a while.

  Chu Guang put these flashy things aside temporarily, and his eyes fell on the radio on the desk.

   stepped forward, he reached out and pressed the switch.

  After a short pause, melodious and soothing music and noisy electric sounds quickly floated out of the old speaker.

  Chu Guang was surprised.

   "There is actually a signal?"

Is    from Boulder City?

   Or another survivor colony...

  Chu Guang is planning to tune in to see if there are other channels.

   However, just when his hand touched the black knob, the melodious and soothing music stopped abruptly and was replaced by a glib host.

"... Here's a piece of news, in the north of us, the northern suburb of Qingquan City, there was a fight with a scale of 100 people. A group of refugees suspected of coming from the north, armed with rifles made of water pipes, attacked the local settlement of survivors , the most advanced weapon is a funny smoothbore gun?"

"Tsk tsk, it's cruel. We saw those refugees blow up the local people's houses with black powder and smash their skulls with gun butts. They hang the men on the city gate, tie the women with ropes, and go down. Old women from one year old to fifty years old are all dragged to dark alleys... tsk tsk tsk, these beasts are really savage."

  Chu Guang: "...?"

   Is this host on drugs?

  What a stupid thing to say.

  The window of the study is facing the Fifth Ring Road in the north of Qingquan City.

  Chu Guang looked out the window, and could only vaguely see rows of jagged, crooked ruins of tall buildings, and the wreckage of viaducts.

  The further urban areas were either blocked or blurred by winter fog.

   "...Can you see this place from Boulder City?"

   Or did they set up observation stations along the Fifth Ring Road or on a high-rise building? Observing in the dark with a large telescope?

  Chu Guang raised his eyebrows slightly.

interesting.

   The sound on the radio continued to play.

   After choreographing the barbaric deeds of the refugees in the north, the host on the radio then changed the topic and placed an advertisement in the news.

"Continued turmoil in the northern part of the River Valley is threatening the security of the southern region. Boulder Military Industry reminds you that guns are the foundation of life. For your safety, we solemnly recommend our latest product - salamander assault rifle. , dragon fruit grenade launchers, and crowbar brand bread from the canteen of Workshop 1.”

   "If even they can't keep your neighbors calm, we also offer a range of military outsourcing services including persuasion and mediation."

   "As long as you have enough chips in your pocket, Boulder's mercenaries will never let you down!"

  …

  【Mission: Liberate Bate Street (Completed)】

  【Explanation: The flag of Vault 404 fluttered on the castle on Bette Street, our enemy ran away, dropped their weapons and surrendered. Although the whereabouts of the old leech are unknown, it does not matter. The people of Bate Street will thank us and they will embrace a better tomorrow. 】

  【Reward: 50 silver coins, 100 contribution points, one chance to draw, a bottle of 330ml wine, and thanks from Xiaoyu. 】

   Noon.

   received a notification that the mission was completed almost at the same time, and the players standing in front of the castle showed surprised expressions on their faces.

   "Huh?! Am I confused? What is a lottery chance?"

   "Good guy, the internal test hasn't opened yet, so the lottery function has been created!"

   "The next function of blind guessing is to draw cards!"

   "Operator: Testing the money-making system is also a part of the packaging and testing. Don't play if you're upset, it's funny."

   "I smoke! Hey, a brass pistol lighter?!"

   "Fuck, I'm here too... 左! How the **** did I smoke a croissant!"

   "Hahahahaha, Africans are really hammered!"

certainly.

   Not everyone is busy with the lottery.

   For example, a girl with short hair.

   "Thanks for the little fish! Woohoo, how will the little fish thank the tail! Will I give the tail a hug? Can I pick it up and take a bite?"

   Sisi, who was standing by the side, sighed, and poked the tail's arm with the **** of his gun.

   "Don't blame me for not reminding you, it's too perverted, but you will be kicked off the assembly line."

  The lottery function was developed by Chu Guang last night with Xiaoqi. I haven't found a chance to use it, so I edited it to test the water in the task reward.

   So far, the feedback from players seems to be pretty good?

  Although the prizes in the prize pool are all gadgets that do not affect the balance of the game, the occasional excitement of one or two European emperors can always push the atmosphere of the scene to a high level.

   What surprised Chu Guang was that judging from the reactions of the players, the recognized SSSR was not an iron-barreled rifle that sold for 150 silver coins, but a "brass pistol" that was useless.

  The brass-colored appearance looks like a "Golden Legend", and the cool shape is even more attractive.

The only disadvantage of    is that you can't shoot, you can only light a cigarette, after all, this thing is a lighter.

   But it doesn't matter!

  Anyone who has played "The Territory Disconnected" knows that weapons with names are not necessarily better than those popular orange outfits, but everyone will still keep them as collectibles and use them on forums as big brothers to deceive Mengxin.

   "Wasteland Online" is the same.

"Legendary" weapons don't provide any damage bonus to bullets, whether it's a submachine gun or a bear's shotgun, in addition to having a unique story, it's no better than those iron-barreled rifles bought from Boulder .

   Of course, to say that the lighter of the old leech is completely useless is not enough, after all, the players in the outpost mainly rely on matches to ignite.

   This lighter with piezoelectric ceramics is still relatively "high-tech".

   Brother Mosquito, who drew a croissant potato, shouted angrily in the square.

   "Poor review! Why don't we hold an auction this time! I want that old leech lighter!"

The players around    looked at him with a smile.

   Let you hold your cards blindly!

   This time, I won't do the G group rules, I'm dumbfounded.

   The [Makaba Zi] who smoked the lighter had a smiley face, and wanted to wear the VM around his neck to show off.

   "Would you like 1000 silver coins? Just this chance."

   "Hey! A lighter sells for 1,000! You are so stealing money!"

   Who can come up with four digits!

   Brother Ba raised his eyebrows proudly.

   He didn't plan to sell it at all, and the price is of course false.

   "1000 silver once, 1000 silver twice...Is there any one who has raised a card? No? Very good, now it is 1500."

   Mosquito: "%￥#@!"

After the    task is completed, the rewarded silver coins and contribution points will be credited to the account immediately.

   As for the prizes drawn and the wines awarded by the mission, you need to wait until you return to the outpost and collect them in the NPC warehouse.

   Drinking is better reserved for the victory dinner.

   If the wine is distributed to the players now, Chu Guang is really worried that these little fools will drink it on the spot and have to arrange for someone to carry them back.

   That is purely to make trouble for yourself.

In addition to the rewards that everyone can receive, some players who perform additional tasks will receive additional rewards, and this part of the rewards is mainly composed of silver coins and copper coins, which will not affect the balance and will not let you lose your money. The player who arrives commits obsessive-compulsive disorder.

   In fact, Chu Guang has recently been thinking about developing an additional military merit system in addition to the contribution system, and making some electronic versions of medals and ranks to further differentiate the growth paths of life professional players and combat professional players.

   However, other problems will arise in this way.

   Sure enough, there will be more people in the future, and players need to go outside to expand their territories, and then consider enriching this part of the gameplay.

   Castle entrance.

  Chu Guang found Old Charlie and asked him to do a simple count of the supplies on Bette Street.

   For this work, Old Charlie can be said to be very familiar with it. He quickly found the ledger left in the warehouse, and took Chu Guang to the granary to check.

"The granary in Bette Street has a total of 8,000 kilograms of croissants, 12,000 kilograms of green wheat, 5,000 kilograms of cabbage, 800 kilograms of dried meat, 30 kilograms of coarse salt, and two sacks of pepper and peppercorns... All materials are counted here. On the ledger, there is a record of every material withdrawal, please check it out."

   said, Old Charlie respectfully handed the crumpled ledger to Chu Guang.

   After Chu Guang took the ledger, he glanced at it roughly.

   What surprised him was that in addition to those reserves, there were actually two packs of 500g refined salt and 20 catties of white sugar in the warehouse.

   Even soy sauce and vinegar!

   This old leech's food is too good.

   "What about material reserves other than food and ordnance?"

   Old Charlie replied respectfully.

"The warehouse is mainly stocked with furs for trading, which can be found at the back of this ledger. But after Liszt's caravan visited last time, the people of the Bloody Clan came here again to extort the warehouse. There's not much left."

   "In addition, there are 173 chips in the grocery store, and a hyena cub fur. Although it is not on the ledger, I have already packed it for you, and it is on the table at the door of the warehouse."

  Chu Guang nodded.

  173 chips, which is not a small number.

   As for the batch of furs that the old leech honored the **** hands, they are wading in his warehouse at the moment. Some of them seem to have been bought by Fujito to make finished clothes, and many players are wearing them.

   Just when he was about to let Old Charlie take him to the warehouse, a disgraced little player came over from the direction of the castle.

   "Master Manager!"

   Looking at Midnight Killing Chicken, who came back alone, Chu Guang had probably guessed the result, but he still looked at him and asked.

"how is the situation?"

   Killing a chicken at midnight said with a look of shame.

"... When we went down, there was an explosion in the passage, and then the sewage flooded the soles of our shoes. We continued to move forward, and soon encountered a few frightened rats and mutant cockroaches... solved it. After them, we used a shovel to try to remove the collapsed gravel, but the wooden beam of the passage was broken, and as we dug, the front side collapsed, and we had to withdraw."

   Sewage?

   It seems that the underground passage of this wine cellar should be connected to the sewer of Qingquan City. When the old leech ignited the explosive, it is estimated that the water pipe buried nearby was blown up.

   After listening to the report on Killing Chickens at Midnight, Chu Guang didn't blame him, just nodded.

   "I see, you have done a good job, you don't have to blame yourself."

   If you can't find it, forget it.

The survivors of   Bett Street already knew the crime of the old leech, and whether he died or not, the people here would never let him come back.

After   , Chu Guang stretched out his index finger and slid on the VM screen, and clicked "Confirm Complete" for the little player's task.

   Watching [Midnight Killing Chicken] leave with a look of joy, Chu Guang then looked at Old Charlie and threw the ledger in his hand.

   "I will take all the supplies in the warehouse. As for the food, I will take half of it, and the rest will be put here temporarily for the residents of Beit Street to buy. Keep the ledger, and I will have someone check it regularly."

   "In addition, the official currency of Bate Street has been changed to copper coins and silver coins. The old chips can still be used, but they are no longer actively put on the market. In the future, if there is a villager's prey to exchange money, you will directly pay him the silver and copper coins."

   It may be difficult to implement a new currency at the beginning, but Chu Guang will use the price lever to make his own choices subtly.

   The same item is cheaper to buy with silver coins, and the survivors will naturally tend to use the new currency to trade.

   After hearing Chu Guang's order, Charlie immediately understood what he meant and nodded knowingly.

   "I see what you mean."

  Chu Guang nodded.

   At this moment, Chu Guang suddenly remembered that there was one important thing he didn't say. So, he watched Old Charlie clear his throat, raise the volume, and continued speaking with a solemn expression.

   "The tyranny has been overthrown, and the survivors of Bett Street will usher in a new order."

   "From now on, you are the new mayor."

"I will pay you a salary of 400 silver coins every month, and your first task is to draft a rule in black and white as a plan for the first law of Bate Street. Everything here will be in accordance with the It's what the law says."

  Charlie's expression was a little surprised.

  Although he guessed that Chu Guang would probably ask him to help him clean up the mess here, the salary and the law have honestly exceeded his expectations.

   Does this lord still think that there is still salvation in this world?

  Although his heart was full of confusion, Old Charlie didn't say anything, just bowed his head respectfully, and accepted the appointment happily.

   "Follow your orders, my lord."
