Chapter 228 Although there is a lot of money sent, this is a good thing

   North of Longevity Farm, abandoned town.

   Light snow was caught in the whistling north wind, and the branches on the side of the road swayed gently.

   A truck with quadruple-mounted anti-aircraft guns in the back is hidden at the edge of the woods, and the cannons in rows are aimed at a snowfield to the north.

   Beside the truck, Gray Wolf raised his binoculars and looked in the north direction, his face couldn't help but look a little anxious, and his mouth kept whispering softly.

"This is impossible……"

It stands to reason that after he fires the flares, a 100-strong team will set off from Yuanxi Town and immediately go to Changchang Farm to help him consolidate the defense of the fortress. Follow-up troops and supplies will also be transferred to Changchang Farm to be stationed, including the entire northern suburbs. The map of the Bonechew tribe.

   But now, it was noon the next day.

   Not to mention the centurion, he didn't even see a shadow of a person from the north.

   Anger flashed in Gray Wolf's eyes, and he felt that he had been deceived.

   Obviously, when he handed the signal gun to his Lion Fang, he didn't plan to send reinforcements at all, and even used himself and his subordinates as cannon fodder from the moment he set off.

  But why?

   Grey Wolf wondered why Lionfang did this.

  If the information that that stupid thing has grasped, he thinks it is impossible for him to lay down here, why should he agree to take the risk?

   Even if he is a foreigner, he is still a fighting force, and he asks himself that his strength is not weak. No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out why Lionfang would give up on himself.

   Liu Ding, who was standing beside him, had no surprise on his face.

Before    set off, the manager had explained to him that this mission might come to nothing.

  The plunderers of Yuanxi Town may not have planned to come over at all.

   Because of some factor outside the battlefield.

   With an assault rifle hanging on his chest, Liu Ding, who was standing beside him, glanced at the time of the VM on his arm and said with a blank face.

   "It seems that your 'reinforcement' will not come."

   The gray wolf's Adam's apple moved.

   "Maybe there was heavy snow..."

  Liuding ignored him, knocked his fist on the door of the truck, and greeted the player sitting in the driver's seat.

   "Mission is over."

   "Retreat."

   [Ward Beribera Levin] who was sitting on the truck yawned, started the engine of the light truck, and shouted into the rearview mirror.

   "End work, end work, don't doze off so much."

  [Aer, I want to go to the toilet], who was about to fall asleep, shook his head violently, woke up and climbed back into the truck, looking at the half box of ammunition and muttering.

"Oh shit."

   "The sleepy old man is going to be disconnected..."

   It's the first time I've been sleepy in a game.

   The operator of "Wasteland OL" always puts extra effort into strange places.

   Does it make sense not to be online 24/7?

  Is it reasonable for the characters in the game to sleep?

   There is no one who can do this with the anti-addiction system!

  …

   I barely slept all night last night, and my morning work piled up like a mountain.

  There is no new movement in the north for the time being, and the next attack must come from the northeast direction—that thousand-man team led by the black snake.

In order to prepare for a sneak attack, Chu Guang deployed two patrol routes near the Zhongzhou Aerospace Ecological Experiment Base, using the former sites of the three survivors' settlements, Dongliu Camp, Highway Town, and Battery Factory as patrol nodes, to search for possible occurrences in the northeast of Qingquan City. threaten.

  The patrol mission will be jointly undertaken by the guards and professional combat players, not only to perform the patrol mission itself, but also to familiarize yourself with the terrain in this area to prepare for the upcoming battle.

  By the way, Dilat rubber is really easy to use.

   is not only used to seal the device, but simply and crudely made into a track, replacing the tire, can make the light truck "fly" on the snow.

   However, the poor quality of the suspension is a problem, which may cause people sitting in the car to feel uncomfortable. Last night, a little player in the intelligence department was spit up.

   After returning to the shelter, it was already noon, Chu Guang fell asleep without eating, and when he opened his eyes, he realized that it was already afternoon.

   "We have to go back to work again."

   Shaking his drowsy brain, Chu Guang, who sat up from the bed, looked down at his sweat-soaked clothes, and then looked at the sheets and the floor.

   "...This is to be seen and designated as a misunderstanding."

  Chu Guang just muttered to himself, and a vibrant voice floated over from a wall.

   "It's okay master, Xiao Qi won't tell anyone."

   I don't know where the voice pack was stolen from.

  Is it senpai style today?

   "Okay, you can shut up now."

The sound of    stopped.

  VM on the bedside table, a line of pop-up windows popped up on the screen.

  “QAQ”

  “…”

   Closed the dialog box that popped up on the VM, Chu Guang skillfully took off his clothes and threw them into the basket by the door.

Picking up the towel hanging by the basket, he simply wiped off the metabolites on his body, put on clean clothes, and went to the bathroom on the B3 floor. After a brief wash, he turned a corner and continued to the medical clinic on the same floor. laboratory.

   Seeing Chu Guang appearing at the door, Heya raised her eyebrows slightly with a hint of surprise on her expression.

   "You've 'upgraded' again?"

   This is a new word she learned from Chu Guang.

   is similar to "player", in short, it is a word that "it's hard to understand what it means just by listening to the pronunciation".

   "That's right."

   Lying on the scanning bed consciously, Chu Guang said simply.

"let's start."

   "Wait! I'll put the samples away."

   stopped the work at hand, Heya skillfully removed the slice from the microscope, carefully put it back in the sample bank for low temperature storage, and then walked over quickly with high interest.

   The genetic samples preserved in this sanctuary are significantly more interesting than the tissue sections of Death Claw.

   For her, this place is like a treasure house with infinite potential.

   It’s amazing to wake up today after 20 years!

   Walking to the terminal at the bedside, Heya stretched out her index finger and tapped the touch screen a few times, skillfully operating the device and starting to work.

   Scanning unit starts.

   After waiting for a while, the updated attribute panel quickly appeared in front of Chu Guang.

  【

  ID: Chu Guang

  Gene Sequence: Manager (Phase 2)

  Level: LV.15→LV.16

  ——Basic Properties——

  Strength: 17

  Agility: 11

   Perception: 12

  Intelligence: 14→15

  】

   This time I added intelligence.

  Chu Guang closed his eyes and felt it for a while, but maybe because he was smart enough, he didn't have a very intuitive feeling.

  Heya, who was standing beside the terminal, had surprise written all over her face.

  Nerve cells are non-regenerative cells. It stands to reason that after the human brain matures, it will not add new neurons.

  At least not under natural conditions.

   However, at this moment, the changes in him have subverted her cognition.

   Without the help of drugs or other auxiliary equipment, the fully developed body has grown twice in a row!

   This is not exercise-based growth.

   Rather, the way genes are expressed has fundamentally changed.

   In fact, Chu Guang is not the only one, almost all the residents in this shelter have many similar situations that make her feel puzzling in terms of DNA expression.

"Unbelievable... The speed at which you grow is simply amazing! I remember it was like a physical examination for you just over a week ago, right? Last time it was the immune system and metabolic function and bones... So this time it's neurons? Really? It's outrageous!"

  Chu Guang didn't feel anything, but felt that he had neglected exercise a little during this time.

   "Soon?"

  Heya nodded with a serious expression.

   "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't use the word incredible."

  Chu Guang gave her a strange look: "Why do I think you use it often."

  Hya was stunned.

"Have it?"

   Without wasting time on irrelevant issues, Chu Guang moved the topic back to the issue of genetic sequences.

   "So growing fast is a good thing or a bad thing."

  Heya thought for a while and said.

   "It's hard to say, good and bad are defined differently from different positions."

  Chu Guang: "What do you mean."

  Hya: "In short, the growth of an individual helps to improve the probability of an individual's survival in the environment, but on the other hand, overly complex gene expression is not conducive to inheritance... Do you understand what I say?"

   Actually, this is not a big problem.

   I heard that in the distant prosperous era, a considerable number of people have abandoned the old social relations and reproduced the next generation entirely through technological means.

   Especially with the boom in android companions and virtual reality technology, this process of social change has been directly accelerated.

   After all, who can refuse a paper man whose character will never collapse?

  Especially when the paper man can come out of the screen.

   "That's right, but I'm not sure if what I understand is consistent with what you want to express."

   All in all, is it difficult to win?

   Chu Guang, who was sitting beside the scanning bed, fell into deep thought.

   Then here comes the problem.

   So is this a good thing or a good thing?

  …

  Waking up late has the advantage of getting up late. In the evening, the North Gate Market is the busiest time, and there is food to eat as soon as you open your eyes.

   The bonfire standing at the north gate has been extinguished, but the festive atmosphere is not inferior to last night.

   even warmer than last night.

The popular snacks of the    celebration were preserved and continued to shine in the market.

   And the prey collected from the wasteland by the players, as well as the ingredients that were not used up, greatly enriched the recipes of the local residents.

   Sure enough, eating is always the first pursuit of human beings.

  It is only after eating that people will have the mind to think about other things and how to improve their lives.

When   Chu Guang was shopping at the market, he found that the Frostspear clan were selling a black and red dye made of shellac.

   This is the technology they brought from the survivor settlement in the north. The raw materials are some small bugs that are not uncommon in the wasteland, but until here, this technology has been useless.

   And when the people of the Frostspear clan found out at the festival that the blue jackets needed paint, they immediately made this thing.

   Facts have proved that the performance of this dye is indeed very good, especially for silk fabrics, the wetting force is very good, after successful coloring, it will not fade after repeated rubbing.

   In addition, the people of the Iron Axe tribe have also gained some experience in spinning, and at the booth of Qiu Cao Qiuye sisters, many varieties that Chu Guang had not seen before were also born.

   Like some pretty accessories, durable gloves, scarves or socks.

   Some of the products were obviously taught to them by Fujito.

   A prosperous market can help improve the morale of producers, and the rewards of commodity circulation for production are more conducive to stimulating creativity, prompting people to improve production tools and production methods, thereby driving the overall prosperity of the entire survivor stronghold.

   Chu Guang, who was walking in the market, could intuitively feel that the harsh winter and the negative impact of the "Wartime Regulations" were slowly fading.

   The bud of prosperity seems to come earlier than spring.

   On almost everyone's face, he can feel the vigorous vigor, as well as the expectation and yearning for tomorrow's life.

  In the wasteland, it is almost difficult to see.

   When passing by the barbecue stall, Chu Guang bought a few skewers.

  The oily meat aroma penetrated into the tip of his nose, making him move his index finger after he hadn't eaten for a whole day, and he was satisfied when he took a bite.

   Just when Chu Guang was thinking about whether to drink something, he happened to hear a familiar shout from a mushroom stall not far away.

   "Fresh devil's jelly!"

   "It's just done, everyone, come and buy duck!"

  Mushroom stalls are open?

   It seems that this winter is indeed coming to an end.

   Chu Guang, who was surprised, looked towards Boss Crow's booth.

   However, unfortunately, there is no mushroom soup that countless NPCs and players are thinking about, but a big bucket instead.

  On the wooden table next to the big barrel, there are several delicate small bowls, which are crystal clear and gelatinous, and look like jelly.

  Chu Guang remembered that it seemed to be a masterpiece by Teng Teng. The devil pupa was boiled into a jelly and made into something similar to the jelly of soil bamboo shoots.

  After the end of the New Year's event, the kind-hearted Fuji Teng seemed to have passed on this craft to Yaya, and Yaya, who smelled the business opportunity, immediately froze the stall.

  The only pity is that the amount is too small.

   If only she was half her age.

   Not long after the shouting, there was a large circle of players around the mushroom stall.

   "Hey! Boss Duck's mushroom stall is open?!"

   "Hey! Not a mushroom!"

   "Damn, why are they selling strange food? What's the difference between selling dog meat with a sheep's head?"

   "Where's the mushroom soup? I want to be able to see Xiao Keli's mushrooms!"

   "Woooooo, I can't see Boss Crow swallowing big mushrooms. What's the point of a mushroom stall without talent!"

   "Wait, jelly seems good too?"

   "My dear brother, I suddenly had a bold thought—"

   "Go away!"

   The blushing Yaya raised his hand and smashed a bowl of Devil's Jelly at it. The player who was hit was overjoyed, picked up the bowl and ran away.

   Yaya, who was breathing calmly, realized that he had been tricked, and immediately regretted it.

   Damn, careless!

   Lost a bowl just after opening, which is a blood loss!

   But jokes aside, everyone still takes good care of Boss Crow's business.

   After all, that was the first meal that many players had after entering the game, and the five copper coins given by the novice gift pack were just enough to buy a bowl.

   That bowl of mushroom soup carries their memories of a distant version, even older than the Beimen market.

   After the little player finished eating, he quickly returned the bowl and said sorry, it was delicious, and said with a smile that he would dare next time.

  Other players also took out their VMs, ready to pay for their feelings.

   But when they learned the price, everyone was stunned.

   "Wait a minute, isn't this jelly too expensive for one silver coin?"

   "That's right! Your bowl is half the size of an apple, which is too little!?"

   "I take Sister Crow as my brother, and Sister Crow takes me as the emperor."

   "Too dark, too dark!"

   Seeing that everyone was complaining, the rhythm sounded, Yaya suddenly became anxious, and quickly argued.

   "The ramen next door sells ten silver coins for a bowl. Is it too much for me to sell one silver coin?"

   Zhang Hai, who was pulling noodles at the ramen stand next door, became unhappy and glared at him immediately.

   "Fuck!"

   "When have I ever been so expensive?"

  Irena, who was eating noodles, raised her head and couldn't help but complain.

   "It's true that you didn't sell it so expensive, but the meat you cut is really thinner than one."

   Zhang Hai glanced at him nonchalantly.

   "You know a hammer? This is the most authentic drop."

   All the diners heard this and cursed.

   These profiteers are too dark!

   Hang up the street lights!

   Holding the grilled wild pork skewer he just bought in his hand, looking at the noisy little players, Chu Guang couldn't help showing an old father-like smile on his face.

so good.

   It seems that we will have to find an excuse to hold more celebrations in the future.

   Just wait until the crisis in the northern suburbs is resolved!

  If the situation is optimistic, the ceremony to celebrate spring ploughing may be held together with the ceremony of triumph.

   However, all of this good vision for the future is premised on the fact that they have to drive away the jackals to the north.

   Otherwise everything is just empty talk.

   Biting the last bite of meat on the skewer, Chu Guang wiped his mouth and walked towards the next stall with great interest.

  …

  After dinner, Chu Guang strolled around the street for a while.

  It wasn't until it was completely dark that he returned to the shelter, went back to his office, sat down, and started to do the work that should be planned.

   At this point, most people are already offline, but today there are still many people online.

   It seems that on New Year's Day, everyone has nothing to do. It's better to lie down while wearing a helmet.

   For the whole day today, the average online time of users increased by at least 20% compared with the previous days.

   The key indicator to measure the "liver degree" of players - the total number of silver coins issued, also increased by 13% compared to yesterday.

  Although more money was sent out, it was a good thing.

   According to the economic system of "Wasteland OL".

  The rewards that players get from tasks and orders are positively related to the value of players’ contributions to the collective.

   Generally speaking, every time a player gets a silver coin, the value brought to the shelter is between 1.5 and 4 silver coins.

   Even if this silver coin is obtained from the market or transactions with other players, it does not matter, the value also exists, but it is moved from the warehouse to the market, and precipitated in various forms to provide the basis for future transaction taxes.

   With the consumption of inventory by professional players, these issued currencies will return to the sanctuary, thus forming a virtuous circle.

   In addition to the boom in the market.

  Chu Guang also noticed that after the battle last night, 5 new Awakeners were born.

   As of now, the number of Awakened people on the server has risen to 27, and there are still three people left to form three full ten-person teams.

   "It's one step closer to forming an 'Awakening Company'." Chu Guang's mouth couldn't help but raise a smile, and his face was full of happiness.

   It's okay for one Awakened to hit three people, right?

  Similarly, is it okay for a company of Awakeneds to beat a regiment?

  Although the looters also have awakened ones, maybe there are some strange things, but it is not a big problem.

   His little players are not only more pure, but also have a stable evolutionary direction. The most important thing is that the output is still large.

   One life in three days, just ask if you are afraid?

   After reading the macro data report, Chu Guang then opened the report uploaded by Changchang Farm.

   Among the loot seized this time, there are about 101 ripper rifles, the remaining 21 submachine guns, and 32 assault rifles, 9 ready-to-use iron fist rocket launchers, molotov cocktails and grenades.

  According to the loot counted by the NPCs, with the assistance of Xiaoqi, Chu Guang settled the players' rewards through the preset calculation formula.

  Defense mode and offensive mode have different war goals, and the number of kills will contribute a little more warscore.

   Among them, the MVP is naturally the "air defense gun" group. The number of heads counted is 42. Nearly 40% of the targets were harvested by Mosquito alone, which directly led to the collapse of the attacker.

   At that time, the shuttle machine gun swept past, and the looters who originally occupied the wall were immediately scared and dumbfounded, and it didn’t take long for them to jump down.

   So much so that the "Edge" team felt lonely after rushing up, and by the time they got to the door, the battle was over.

   However, although the head is taken by a mosquito, the score is still calculated as a group score.

   In other words, Brother Levine and Brother Toilet Suo, who act as drivers and loader, can also get rewards provided by points.

   Counting the points provided by the team quest, the three received 480 silver rewards, as well as 200 contribution points and 1000 regional prestige points.

   In addition, the three life professional players finally got their first silver medals in their gaming careers!

   Although it is a basic medal.

   But it can be regarded as lighting up an achievement.

   Chu Guang, who finally finished his work, leaned on the office chair and stretched.

   Just when he was thinking about which game to use for a while, a post on the forum suddenly aroused his interest.

   The title of the post is not gimmicky, even mediocre, but the heat of the discussion is unexpectedly high.

   "It was an ordinary morning, about the life of my friend"

  【Landlord: Don’t talk shit】
