Chapter 340 Due to server network fluctuations, the silver coin trading platform is temporarily suspended for one day

   Spacious tent.

  A man in luxurious clothes paced back and forth in the tent, with a serious brow, as if he was struggling with something.

   At this time, footsteps came from outside.

  Hearing the movement, he immediately put on a bright smile on his face, and took the initiative to greet the tent door.

   Almost at the same time, Chu Guang appeared at the door of the tent.

   "Xavier! A salesman from Firestone Group! Nice to meet you, respected leader of the alliance!" Introducing himself with enthusiasm and even pompous voice, Xavier quietly looked at the man who appeared at the door.

  It is exactly the same as the rumors. The leader of the new alliance has a pair of obsidian-like deep eyes, handsome and young.

  Most importantly, I heard that he was from a shelter.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in the wasteland. Although the leaders of most survivor settlements are native wastelanders, these survivor settlements are rarely very large, and it is rare for the population to exceed 10,000. .

  The real big forces, such as enterprises and colleges, even the legions on the west side of the mainland, and the magic sticks on the death coast in the south...the origins are more or less related to the refuge.

  However, to his surprise, this man was actually an awakened person.

  What the **** has this guy been through?

   "Chu Guang, manager."

  For Xavier's enthusiasm, Chu Guang was not very cold, but just briefly introduced himself.

   After all, he is an arms dealer who sells weapons to the Bonechewer tribe, so it is only a coincidence that he can give him a good face.

   Realizing that he used the wrong address, Xavier looked a little embarrassed.

   But after all, he was a businessman who traveled all over the world, so his face was naturally thick, so he adjusted quickly.

   "Sorry, I made an empirical mistake... Nice to meet you, the manager of the alliance."

  Chu Guang looked at him and got straight to the point.

   "Please explain your purpose."

   Xavier nodded slightly.

   "Mr. Sigma, the leader of our group, asked me to send you congratulations. Congratulations on winning this war. Xizhou City has welcomed a wise master!"

   Congratulations, it's okay.

   There is one less big customer, shouldn’t we cry?

   But the war is over, now is the time for development.

  Chu Guang didn't want to make trouble, so he didn't tease his neighbor to the north, but just said something with a half-smile.

   "Say hello to him for me too."

"I will bring your greetings!" Relieved in his heart, Xavier cleared his throat and continued, "In addition, in addition to congratulations on victory, Mr. Sigma explained to me before departure that I hope I can redeem you from you." Go back alone."

"who?"

   "Dillon, the captain of the 210,000th team of the Legion!"

   "You mean that person..." Chu Guang recalled the name, but his expression was a little subtle.

"Yes," Xavier was still trying to persuade, completely unaware of what happened, "anyway, the war is over for you, and you and the Legion have no direct hatred. That man is useless to you, Why not use him for a ransom? We can pay him... half a million dinars, what do you think?"

  500,000 dinars.

   is indeed not a small sum.

  Chu Guang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Dillon was worth so much money to redeem.

  If the guy was still alive, he wouldn't mind getting some ransom, but unfortunately...

   "Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't grant you this request."

  Xavier was stunned, obviously did not expect Chu Guang to refuse, and said anxiously.

   "Do you think it's too little? According to Master Wan's standards, this price is already very fair—"

   "Because he is already dead." Chu Guang interrupted him and said lightly.

   "Dead?!" Hearing this sentence, Xavier was shocked, and his face changed in an instant.

  Chu Guang didn't think so.

   "That's right, bullets have no eyes on the battlefield, and anything can happen, isn't it normal? Since he chose to squat in the same trench as those marauders, he should have thought that he would have this day."

   Speaking of this, Chu Guang looked at Xavier with scrutiny, "I'm curious, what are you doing to redeem him?"

   "...This is Mr. Sigma's order, and he didn't tell me more details." Xavier said pretending to be calm, but the nervous expression had already betrayed him.

   Obviously, he is not completely ignorant.

  Chu Guang smiled lightly, but did not continue to embarrass him.

  The other party didn’t want to say anything, no matter how much you ask, it’s useless. You can’t arrest the envoy and torture him.

   That's too out of style.

   "If you came here because of Dillon, your trip is doomed to be in vain."

   Xavier forced a forced smile from his face.

   "How come... I can see you with my own eyes, this trip is not in vain."

   Paused, he continued.

   "Mr. Sigma also explained the third thing to me. Now that the north-south trade route has been restored..."

   "We want to make a trade deal with you!"

  …

  Outside the tent.

  The rest area of ​​the visiting group.

  Butan went to a nearby construction site, visited the drainage system of Dawn City, and kept shaking his head after returning.

   "...There is a big problem with their construction plan, and it is not obvious now. According to the summer precipitation in Xizhou City in previous years, it will definitely be over in July!"

   "...It's not that serious, is it? I haven't heard of the survivors' settlement in Xizhou City being flooded before." Yuan Feng had a hesitant expression on his face.

  They are here to visit, not to criticize other people's families. Although he believes in Mr. Butan's expertise in the field of environmental engineering, he is not in favor of extravagance.

   "Can a settlement of five thousand, or even tens of thousands of people, be the same as a settlement of two or three hundred people? Unless they plan to soak in the water."

   Finally unable to hold back, Butan patted his thigh and stood up.

   "I'll go see their managers again! I must explain this to them!"

  For the sake of the great gift, he couldn't pretend not to see it due to emotion or reason.

   At worst, spend some time on your own and help them redesign a plan!

   It's not that hard anyway.

  Butan walked towards the manager's tent, and the rest of the visiting group continued to talk about the discovery in Dawn City.

  Can build 1,000 emergency housing in one day, the production efficiency of the new alliance is really amazing.

   However, strong production capacity does not mean advanced productivity.

  Objectively speaking, the design and safety of those aluminum skin houses still have a lot of problems, and the technical content really doesn't look like it came from a shelter.

  There are many mountains near Xizhou City, and the wind is not very strong, so it is no problem to use it at will.

  But over time, problems will definitely be exposed.

  Everyone was discussing in a hurry, but a certain "mascot" did not participate.

  The energetic Pai is playing with a new toy that he just got, sitting in the barracks and having a great time playing.

   Quickly mastered the trick of controlling the drone, she programmed a simple control program with the tablet she carried with her, and connected the drone to the VR glasses.

  The propeller, as thin as a cicada's wing, trembled, and the silver-white ball rushed into the sky.

  Overlooking the land of Xizhou City through the perspective of the drone, Pai's face was full of wonder and surprise.

   "It's incredible!"

  It's a pity that the battery life of the Hummingbird drone is average. After all, the size of the fist is there, and the capacity of the battery can be imagined.

  Lowing the drone down, Pai took off his glasses, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.

   "Tianqin, what do you think Dawn City will look like?"

   Tian Qin, who was sitting on the chair, did not answer, as quiet as a wooden man.

   Pai stared at its cloak, suddenly a little curious in his heart.

   Speaking of which, I haven't seen what it looks like yet.

  When it came out of the giant door, it wore this cloak that covered its whole body, and it didn't communicate with anyone.

  Obviously has such a nice name...

   Pai asked in a low voice.

   "Can I take a look?"

   Lyra didn't speak.

   Pai then whispered.

   "...If you don't speak, I will take it as acquiescence."

   Still no response.

   Gathering up his courage, Pai carefully stretched out his hand, and gently lifted a corner of the thin cloak.

  Different from its star-named name, under the shadow is a face with plain features, like a mannequin placed in a dilapidated window.

  The only difference is that its eyes move and stare straight at her.

"Is there a problem?"

   These are the first words Tian Qin said after leaving the shelter.

   Pai swallowed nervously, shook his head, and quickly retracted his hand.

  Looking at the face covered by the cloak again, she whispered a little guilty.

"sorry…"

   Tian Qin looked at her, as if she was confused about something.

   After a while, it said solemnly.

   "No need to apologize, you didn't do anything to apologize."

  Hearing this sentence, Pai, who was still nervous, was relieved, with a happy smile on his face.

   "It's good that you're not mad at me."

angry?

   Tian Qin looked at her and didn't speak.

  The things I don’t understand have increased again…

  …

the other side.

  After meeting with the representatives of Huoshi Group, Chu Guang returned to his tent.

  The negotiations with Huoshi Group were not successful.

  Although Chu Guang did not object to putting aside the conflict for the time being, the "trade agreement" proposed by the other party made him roll his eyes uncontrollably.

   Zero tariffs, exploration rights and mining rights.

   I'm afraid I'm living in a dream!

   These three things alone have exceeded his bottom line, and Chu Guang couldn't see any substantive benefits at all from a lot of exchange conditions and promises given by the other party.

   To put it bluntly, what can he get from doing business with the Buguera Free State?

   A pile of ammunition?

  The new alliance has no shortage of weapons at all, and there are no battles to fight recently.

  The immediate priority is to transfer excess military production capacity to civilian use, and ensure food supply and reserves in settlements.

  From this point of view, doing business with farmers in the south is obviously better than doing business with arms dealers in the north.

   "...In this case, let's talk about an official trade agreement after we have enough trust between each other." After listening to the other party's request, Chu Guang directly rejected Xavier's request with one sentence.

   And Xavier didn't say anything more, and left after expressing regret.

  Chu Guang can feel that the other party does not have much sincerity towards this trade agreement.

   Especially after hearing that Dillon is dead, this feeling is even more obvious.

  The Ya clan has been destroyed, and the Bonechewer tribe will fall apart sooner or later.

  However, there are still too many mysteries on this rotting corpse.

  A group of predators, why is it supported by the Church of the Torch and the Legion at the same time?

   There must be hidden secrets that I don't understand.

  Unfortunately, Gold Tooth is dead, and Dillon is also dead. He can only find a way to investigate from other prisoners of war...

  The door of the tent.

  Chu Guang happened to see Butan waiting there, so he put away his solemn expression, and a pleasant smile appeared on his face again.

   "What's the matter? Friends from Camp 101."

  The old man didn't go around in circles, and went straight to the point.

   "The drainage system of Liming City needs to be redesigned. According to the current construction plan, by July, this place will definitely become a puddle!"

   Turned into a puddle?

  Is that an exaggeration?

  Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang showed surprise on his face, and immediately paid attention to it.

   "Can you explain in detail?"

   "I'm here to discuss this matter with you!"

  Butan did not hold back, and told Chu Guang his findings, including the precipitation in Xizhou City in previous years, including the places where the design of the drainage system was not thoughtful.

  After listening to his suggestion carefully, Chu Guang calmly sent a task to the chief designer of the alliance [Retain people under the knife].

  The urban planning of the new alliance is mainly done by the players. Although the design concept of the 21st century is sufficient for the wasteland, it is inevitable that negligence will occur when copying it.

   Being able to communicate more with experts on the wasteland will not only be of great benefit to the future development of the new alliance, but will also definitely help the players' personal development.

   "The design of the drainage system really can't be sloppy! The specific improvement plan, can I trouble you to communicate with our designer?"

   Didn't expect Chu Guang to attach so much importance to his opinion, Butan was surprised, and couldn't help but have a hint of joy on his face, and immediately patted his chest to pack the ticket.

   "No problem! I'll just stay here for a few days. I'll help you find a way to see if you can improve the design plan."

   Is there such a good thing? !

  Of course Chu Guang would not refuse, and immediately said happily.

   "Great, I'll trouble you then!"

  Butan smiled embarrassedly, "No trouble, it's a trivial matter. But the visiting group, I have to ask you to take care of me!"

  Chu Guang said with a smile: "That's for sure! Don't worry, just leave it to me!"

  …

  The construction site of Dawn City.

  The construction of the sewer was stopped.

   Squatting on the concrete pier, people under the knife stared at the circled drawings in their hands, scratched their ears and scratched their heads, almost scratching their scalps.

  Received the task just now, the manager called him over and introduced him to an old man who is said to be studying environmental engineering.

  At the beginning, keeping people under the knife didn't take it seriously, it was just a plot.

  However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as the manager introduced the old man to him, the old man took his blueprint and pointed at him non-stop.

  VM solves the problem of communication.

   Someone pointed fingers at his drawings, and he was immediately unhappy to keep someone under the knife, and immediately started arguing with the old man.

  However, after arguing for a while, he suddenly began to realize that what the other party said seemed to make sense.

   And more than that.

   This is embarrassing...

   Makabazi who passed by saw it, and couldn't help but leaned over curiously.

   "What's wrong bro?"

  The man under the knife sighed.

   "I don't understand..."

  He told Ma Kabazi what happened just now.

  The latter scratched his head and said in a daze.

   "All in all, it's just... an NPC who thinks there is something wrong with your design? And now the sewer construction has been stopped?"

   "Yes." Toshita Liuren nodded honestly.

  Makabazi was startled.

   "Damn, what do NPCs know?"

   "No... This NPC is different from other NPCs, and it has something to say." Dao Xialiuren sighed.

   While talking, he even felt like he was back in class.

  Whether it is the design concept or design ideas, the academic level and professional level shown by the other party made him doubt whether the person standing in front of him was an NPC or a "professor" wearing an NPC coat.

  I really miss it when I think about it.

  How many years have you been working?

  Although I am not a master in the field of civil engineering and urban planning, and I haven’t worked in the front line for a while, my experience is definitely nothing to say.

  The more I think about keeping people under the sword, the more puzzled I become.

  A game company.

   As for making such trivial matters so professional?

  Makabazi scratched his head.

   "Then what to do now?"

  He doesn't know anything about how to design and how to construct. He didn't do this in reality. As a strength department, he only knows how to make miracles with great strength.

  Anyway, there are so many bosses in this game, so he doesn't need to think so much.

   "It's not very correct, let's change it according to his method first." The man under the sword sighed, patted his pants and stood up, "Call the foremen of the aid team for a meeting."

   "There are new work arrangements."

  …

  The next morning.

  The northern suburb of Qingquan City.

  Amidst the drumbeat of the band and the cheers of the people, the train full of victory and glory drove into the station in the north of Dawn City with a long whistle.

  People held flower baskets and threw flower petals to the train, celebrating the triumph of the soldiers.

  Boys chase each other, laugh and slapstick on the fringes of the crowd, playing war games, taking turns being good soldiers and evil marauders.

  The rumble of the train can be used as an accompaniment.

  Although the real battlefield is far more cruel than the script they could have imagined.

  Most of the girls stood beside their parents, looking at the train with eyes full of curiosity and longing.

   Quietly pulled Shuangxue's sleeve, Shuanghe who was standing next to his father lowered his voice, and said softly with the corner of his mouth bent.

  “…do you feel your heart beating faster?”

  Shuangxue blushed and glared at her sister, but her eyes did not move away from the train.

  Shuang Ye, the youngest, blinked her eyes, not quite understanding what the eldest sister and second sister were discussing.

  The guards of Dawn City formed a long line beside the railway to maintain order on the scene and keep the crowd away from the railway to avoid accidents.

   Even so, it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the residents of Dawn City like waves.

   The war is over!

   This is without a doubt an epic victory!

  Those **** barbarians can no longer threaten the peace and prosperity of Dawn City.

   Praise the League!

  Praise the manager!

  Thanks to the warriors of the expedition, who with the sword in their hands cut off the evil—

   Each of them is a hero!

  Standing in the cab of the train, looking at the happy faces outside the train window, Chu Guang couldn't help showing a gratified smile on his face.

  He patted the conductor's seat lightly.

   "Slow down, let our soldiers enjoy the joy of victory for a while longer."

  The train conductor nodded with a smile.

   "Okay, my lord!"

  The long siren sounded, and the train slowly slowed down.

   At the same time, the carriages in the back were equally lively.

   "Oh, oh, is this the capital of the new alliance!" Pai pressed his face against the car window, his eyes were full of excitement, and he wanted to stick his head out.

   Seeing this, Yuan Feng quickly stretched out his hand and pulled the restless little girl back, staring at her and scolding her.

   "Be quiet! Have you forgotten what your teacher said to you? You represent the image of all the residents of Camp 101... Do you want to embarrass everyone?"

   Pai pouted sullenly, and stole a sideways glance.

   "It's not just me..."

   It is true that she is not alone.

  Compared to the behavior of the players, she is relatively restrained.

  For example, a certain tail not only stuck its face on the car window, but even its nose was squeezed and deformed.

   "I'm giao! Little fish! Woohoo, cute little fish, I must want to die!"

  Sisi, who was sitting by the side, sighed softly.

   "Ah Wei, wake up, your little fish is obviously going to meet the manager, right?"

   "I don't care! I'm going to kiss the little fish!" Tail shouted.

  Hearing this, the big white bear sitting across from the two of them suddenly became unhappy, and even raised his eyebrows... although it was not obvious.

   "Shut up! The little fish is obviously mine!"

  Tail was taken aback.

   "Hey! You fickle slut, are you worthy of Teddy!?"

   "What the **** is Teddy, don't mess with my CP!"

   "Stop arguing...how about eating each other?"

  The cat ears on the top of the head were shaking uncomfortably, and the sesame paste tried to appease the rambunctious one and the bear.

  Sisi, who was sitting next to him, sighed and reminded him helplessly.

   "...I can understand your feelings, but against the wishes of the NPC, you will be kicked off the assembly line if you plot against the NPC."

   At this time, a gentle electronic sound sounded in the compartment.

   is not a Renlian language.

   But Mandarin.

   "Hello, respected players, this train is about to arrive, and the residents of the new alliance are welcoming us in triumph. I hope everyone pays attention to their words and deeds, and don't be too exaggerated, which will affect the collective image."

   "Because of the one-person-one-number mechanism, the account of the dead cannot be canceled, so please at least behave like a normal person when going through the plot!"

  Tail immediately moved his face away from the car window.

   "Huh? Was that the voice of planning just now?"

  Sisi looked at the horn on the roof of the car.

   “… who knows.”

  The train arrives at the station.

  Flowers.

  Applause.

   And cheers!

   All are coming like a tide!

  Feeling the overwhelming enthusiasm, the players who walked out of the carriage couldn't help feeling a little dazed for a moment.

  It feels like…

   They are real heroes.

   No, you can't say it seems like, it should be said that it is!

  They guarded a world!

  The sense of honor and spiritual satisfaction that they have never felt in other games germinated in their hearts like germinated seeds.

   This sense of accomplishment that goes deep into the soul is far from being comparable to a few lines of cold numbers and a few lines of text in the conclusion of the customs clearance.

  Looking at the flowers that were forcibly stuffed into their hands, the construction site boy and Brick muttered in a daze.

   "This game is too real..."

"Thanks!"

   Smiling and taking the flowers from the little girl, Irena politely said thank you.

  Watching the blushing girl into the crowd, he stared at the flowers in his hand, and suddenly moved closer to smell them curiously.

   Finally couldn't hold back, he reached out and picked one off, and threw it into his mouth.

  emmm...

  Is the taste okay?

  The fleeing mole standing next to the canyon happened to see this scene, and cast a surprised look at Lao Na.

   "Hey! Don't you even let flowers go?"

  Irena said naturally.

   "What if buffs can be added?"

  How do you know if you don’t try it?

  Isn’t the BUFF of monster flesh and physique just like this?

  Mole couldn't help but complain.

   "There's a ghostly BUFF!"

   This guy must be crazy!

  On the platform of the train station, surrounded by flowers, Chu Guang stepped off the train. Looking at Boss Xia, Xiao Yu, Yu Hu, Old Charlie, Luca and the others in the crowd, Chu Guang couldn't help smiling.

"I'm back."

   "Congratulations on your triumphant return, my lord administrator, we have prepared a banquet for you to celebrate your victory." Old Charlie said respectfully.

   "It's good that you're safe and sound." Looking at the intact Chu Guang, Xiaoyu heaved a sigh of relief.

  Passing pale yellow flowers in the palm of her hand, she was too shy to hand them out in the end.

"Thanks."

  Looking at the people who supported him, Chu Guang smiled and nodded.

  Although there was almost no room in his hands, he still reached out and took all the flowers in everyone's hands.

   After going back, plant it near the nursing home.

  Looking at the azure armor covered with colorful petals, Xia Yan muttered in a low voice.

   "Aren't you hot wearing this iron bump every day? It's almost summer."

  Chu Guang smiled slightly and said proudly.

   "You don't understand this. This iron lump has its own air conditioner, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. Do you want to try wearing it?"

  Xia Yan blushed.

   "You...say something strange."

  Chu Guang: "...?"

  He thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong with his sentence.

  Then there must be something wrong with the listener.

  The triumphal ceremony lasted from early morning to noon.

  The celebration banquet and carnival lasted from noon to night.

  I am afraid that tons of fine wine and food were consumed throughout the day today.

  However, even the old Luca, who pursues thrift, would not say much on this occasion.

  Celebrate for shared victories.

  After tonight, those who came together to survive will be more united than yesterday.

  The night gradually darkened.

   Players who were still unsatisfied went offline one after another.

  However, the lively atmosphere was far from over, and they were brought to the forum on the official website.

   While they are having fun in the game, people outside the game are not idle.

  The market for silver coins has reached a fever pitch.

  Astronomical numbers of bills are pouring in one after another, and the big gold masters who don’t know where come from seem to be on top, frantically throwing money to recover the silver coins in the hands of the players.

   Seeing that the price was showing signs of losing its mind, the game official finally came forward.

   And issued two announcements in a row.

  【Due to server network fluctuations, the silver coin trading platform is temporarily suspended for one day】

  【Special Event: Special Loot Auction has officially started! 】
