Chapter 344 Unforgettable Pai

  Official website forum.

   [Update Announcement: The logistics department of the new alliance will be changed to 12 departments including industry, economy, transportation, energy, trade, diplomacy, education, and military. 】

  【Some NPC positions have been adjusted, please pay attention to identification! 】

  Tail: "Oh oh oh, is this an expansion film? Let me be healthy! (ω

  Quit Smoking: "Wait a minute, does this have anything to do with us?"

  The edge of the water: "It seems that there is no!"

   Spring Water Commander: "The NPC doesn't seem to have any players, right?"

Commander    Spring Water: "...Uh, I seem to have said something nonsense."

   Canyon Fleeing Mole: "So what's changed in this update??"

   Debt and big eyes: "Gan! Let this guy get another update!"

   Construction site boy and Brick: "Open the bank exchange ah ah ah!!"

  Macabazi: "Second! I want to sell silver!!"

  Teng Teng: "Pfft..."

   is another day of disappointment.

On the fourth day after the    expansion, the silver coin trading platform was still not open. The Beta0.3 version of the Kingdom of Heaven is still in the pipeline, so far there is no news at all.

   Rumors abound on the forum.

  Some people said that Aguang cut a wave of leeks and ran away, the silver coin trading platform will not be opened again, and the forum will be closed after a while.

  Some people said it was absolutely impossible, how could Ah Guang run away after cutting the leeks?

   That must be continued cutting!

   Ye Wei felt that what they said was wrong.

   Anyone who has actually entered the game knows that Brother Guang never cuts leeks, and he plays games wholeheartedly. Not only does he not earn players' money, but he even benefits players.

   It’s just that sometimes the AI ​​is too cunning, and NPCs may play cards out of the way.

   But this little thing is nothing at all, but one of the characteristics of "Wasteland OL".

   NPCs really have to be like fools, that's boring.

  The silver coin trading platform will definitely be opened.

   And it should be in these few days.

   But speaking of it, every time he thinks of this, Ye Wei is afraid for a while.

   At that time, he just sold the silver coins, and the price continued to rise. In fact, he felt a little regretful in his heart, thinking that he should wait and sell it later, and he could earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands more.

   However, the moment he saw that the silver coin trading platform was suspended, all regrets in his heart disappeared, and only happiness remained.

   Fortunately, it sold early.

   I couldn’t sell it even if I wanted to sell it a few hours later.

  Thinking of the 5 million in his bank card, his heartbeat could not help speeding up.

  5 million!

   He has never seen so much money in his life!

   "Awei, what are you looking at?" The roommate's voice came from behind. Sun Gan, who had just returned from the outside after playing, came over curiously.

   "Brush the forum."

   "Damn it! It's been a few years, and you're still playing BBS, so you can't get in touch with young people?"

   "It's better to watch short videos." Lao Liu interjected.

   "+1." The head of the dormitory also agreed.

   Ye Wei rolled his eyes and put away his phone.

   "You know a hammer."

   Lao Liu couldn't help saying.

   "Awei, I didn't say it... If there is a completely real virtual reality game like you said, why can't I play the short video at all?"

   The head of the dorm also raised his hand.

   "+1, I can't even brush it on the scarf."

   Ye Wei said without hesitation: "It is estimated that the current is limited. After all, even if the PV is added with a filter, it is still R18."

   This has been discussed in the group before.

  PV can be posted on Moments, Spaces, and Groups, but it can’t be posted on media platforms such as short videos and scarves, at least not on big platforms.

   You can see it over the wall, but the discussion on the Internet is not very popular.

  The main reason is that the official website is all in Chinese, and there are a lot of rotten stalks that translators can't translate at all. It is too difficult for international friends to understand.

   Of course, although there are few international friends, it is not completely absent.

   However, what Ye Wei didn't expect was that he just said this casually, and the whole bedroom was instantly boiling!

   "R18? Awesome!"

   "666!"

   "Good guy, it turns out that you are hiding under the covers every night!"

   Seeing the crowd booing and teasing, Ye Wei blushed and refuted.

   "Go away, I'm talking about R18 in terms of blood and violence, what does it have to do with Se... what does it have to do with that!"

  Sun Gan patted his shoulder with a smile.

   "It's okay, everyone understands it, and young people can understand it. Don't worry, we'll keep it a secret for you!"

   Ye Wei rolled his eyes.

   "No nonsense, Lord will be on the account in a while, by the way, have you read the link I sent you before?"

  Sun Qian was confused: "Link?"

  Ye Wei: "It's the game reservation interface!"

  Sun Gan suddenly said: "Oh, you said that, I looked at it... What kind of thing, asking questions, it's like checking a water meter."

  Lao Liu interjected and said: "+1, I don't think that website looks like a serious website at all, I will close it immediately!"

   Ye Wei said impatiently: "Don't worry about it so much, let you fill it in, you'll be done with it, will the brothers hurt you?"

   But now fill out the form, I am afraid some will wait.

   When he could still see the number of reserved players before, Ye Wei took a special look and found that the number was more than his bank card balance.

   Ignoring the animals in the dormitory, he threw his phone on the table to charge, climbed onto the bed, put on his helmet, and logged into the game as Ye Shi.

   The three people in the bedroom looked at each other and looked at each other.

   "...I'm a little bit convinced."

   "This guy puts on his helmet on time every day from six o'clock in the evening. If there is no class in the morning and can sleep until noon, it is hard not to believe."

   "The fully immersive R18 game is okay..."

   "Cough, I'll fill out a form... mainly to criticize."

   "I almost believed it!"

  …

  North Street in the south of Dawn City.

   Today is the same as always, very lively in the early morning.

  After the end of the Northern Expedition, a large number of players left the front line and returned to the surrounding area of ​​Dawn City. Every day in front of the meat stall, you can see fresh prey and fish, or freshly picked mushrooms.

   Especially recently.

  With the opening of the north-south railway transportation line, there are many more warships and shrimps from Xizhou Lake in the market of Dawn City.

  This kind of freshwater shrimp with a shell harder than steel and a body longer than an arm is usually eaten by no survivors.

  However, these smart little players have developed four ways of eating: braised, steamed, braised in oil, and minced garlic, turning the food that no one has eaten into deliciousness.

   Even the "cubs" of the warship shrimp were not spared. They were made into fist-sized crayfish by life professional players, and were widely praised by NPCs.

  Due to the skyrocketing price of silver coins, everyone's enthusiasm for making money has also risen with the tide.

  Graduation outfits at NPC shops are too cheap?

  The public archive point is too convenient and don’t want to buy a house?

  There are too many silver coins and nowhere to spend?

   is not a problem at all!

  There are so many little chives lining up to buy them outside. When they think that all the silver coins they earn are money, players are more motivated to move bricks!

  The entrance of Haiji Ramen Restaurant.

   Zhang Hai, who was standing beside a cauldron, shouted loudly and loudly.

   "Sell ramen, 4 silver a bowl!"

   Father Bai Yin, who happened to come in, heard it and couldn't help complaining.

   "Hey! One thousand yuan for a bowl, you are stealing money!"

   Zhang Hai stared.

   "Fuck, it's too much, brother, how can you do that?"

  What the **** is the highest price?

   Anyway, use the average price to calculate it!

   "It doesn't matter!" Father Baiyin smiled and threw four silver coins on the table. "Beijing Street's business is so hot, my brother made a lot of money."

  Zhang Hai said carelessly while placing the noodles.

   "Talking about money is too vulgar! Mainly we like the feel of kneading the dough."

   The construction site boy and Brick, who were sitting on the side eating noodles, happened to hear it, and almost didn't take a sip of yue, and scolded him and lost his chopsticks.

   "Hey! Lao Tzu's appetite has been drained by you."

   "Refund!"

  Zhang Hai rolled his eyes, and went back unceremoniously.

   "I want to eat fart!"

   At this moment, a pleasant voice floated.

   "Old man, come six bowls of noodles!"

   Watching the tail that slapped a handful of silver coins on the table, the players sitting nearby eating noodles were instantly shocked.

   "Fuck!"

   "Six...six bowls!?"

   "Rich woman!!!"

   "Okay!" Seeing the business, Zhang Hai suddenly regained his energy and stopped talking to the guests. He tore off a lump of dough from the chopping board and started his performance.

   Pai looked left and right curiously.

   Her eyes fell on the flying noodles, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

   "Woooooo, what is that!"

   "Ramen!" Tail said proudly, "Hum, when it comes to the food of the new alliance, this is naturally indispensable!"

   Pai stared straight at the noodles, his eyes sparkling.

   "lamian? Awesome!"

  The big white bear looked at the tail in surprise, and then at Pai.

   "Huh? Can you understand what the NPC said?"

   "I think it's just a coincidence..." Staring at the translation on the VM, Si Si said with a subtle expression, "Is there a possibility that they are all saying their own words, but they don't understand what the other party is saying at all?"

   The cat ears on the top of his head swayed gently, and Sesame Paste said with some envy, "In a sense, this is also a rather remarkable skill."

  Tail raised his chest and said proudly.

   "Hmm! That's right! Please praise me more!"

   Game time at 6am.

As soon as    the three of them went online, they received a commission issued by the manager personally, hoping that they could serve as the guards of the visiting group of Camp 101, and accompany Xiaoyu and Pai to visit Dawn City.

   The identity of Pai, the new NPC, has been discussed on the forum before.

  According to the information of the Niu Ma team, it is said to be a very remarkable "doll master" who is good at making exquisite figures.

   And he is also the representative of the visiting group of Camp 101!

   Such a meaningful mission, and the opportunity to develop deep friendships with special NPCs, no player will miss it.

  Especially when he learned that Xiaoyu was also in the team, Tail immediately took over this task on behalf of the White Bear Knights without saying a word.

  Six bowls of ramen were quickly brought to the table.

  Xiaoyu patiently taught Pai how to use chopsticks.

   She thought it would take a lot of time, but she didn't expect the other party to learn it all at once, even more proficient than her.

   "That's it! It's a convenient tool!" Looking at the two wooden sticks in his hand, Pai said excitedly, "How did you think of it?"

   "Brother Chu brought it out of the shelter." Looking at Pai, who could learn in just a few minutes, Xiaoyu had an envious expression on his face.

   It took her a long time to get used to this unique tableware.

   "Your shelter is also amazing, there are so many interesting things." Pai also had an envious expression on his face, but for a completely different reason.

   "Of course! Brother Chu is amazing." The corners of his lips lifted up unconsciously, Xiaoyu suddenly thought of something, and continued, "By the way, where are you going to go shopping in a while?"

   "Industrial Zone!" Pai's eyes sparkled.

"industrial area?"

   Pai nodded vigorously.

   "Hmm! Can't you?"

   It's not impossible...

   But isn't shopping generally going to places like commercial streets?

  Xiaoyu was a little confused, but thinking of what Big Brother Chu told her before, he didn't say anything and nodded.

   "Well, if you want to see it."

  …

   The group came to the industrial zone.

   The first thing that catches the eye is the "notorious" goblin technology.

   Listening to the reactions of other life professional players, there are always explosions from time to time, and occasionally a scream or two can be heard.

  Although there are definitely exaggerated elements in this, and maybe even smears from friends and businessmen, it does not prevent everyone from spreading rumors.

   Later, this rumor somehow got into the ears of NPCs, so that almost no wastelanders were willing to come here to work.

   Most of the people who work here are players, especially new players who have just entered the game. It is common for them to devote themselves to technology.

   Considering the glorious image of the new alliance, Si Si intends to silently bypass this "sweatshop", but without paying attention, Pai has already slipped in curiously.

  The open space in the center of the factory.

   Mosquito and several apprentices were muttering something around a blackboard.

   There were two W-1 and 2 gliders that had been disassembled into parts, and a lot of parts from other factories were parked not far away from them.

   In the previous battle at Songlinyu, the W series attack aircraft performed quite well on the battlefield, but it also exposed many problems.

   One is that the maneuverability is too poor, and the other is that the shell is too brittle.

When    was diving to the ground, a small 7mm water pipe could turn the plane into a sieve. Those looters relied on the patchwork of anti-aircraft machine guns and fought with them one by one.

   Bullying the predators, gliders are obviously enough, but if you are against a survivor force like Boulder City, it may not be enough to see how many such ultra-low-speed planes come.

   Therefore, the manager placed a new order with Goblin Tech.

   required them to produce a fighter that was stronger, faster, and had better air combat performance, reducing pilot fatalities.

   Honestly, the mosquitoes felt it was unnecessary.

  What defense does a humanoid missile need?

   Having that load is worse than having two more bombs.

What? The opponent is the black technology plane of Boulder City?

   And you don't even know what the opponent's power principle and mounted weapons are?

   That's also a yarn.

   Simply vote!

   stared at the sketch on the blackboard, persuaded Jia to scratch his head and said, "The speed of the propeller plane can't go up, let's just make a jet plane."

   "It's better to just build a steel shell!" The fatal eyes lit up and said, "If we can't win, we can go up and hit! Use the tail to cut!"

   Soul Chasing: "Just ask if you don't understand, you mean MiG 25?"

   Killing God: "Hahaha, vigorously flying bricks! I like it!"

   The mosquito standing beside him rolled his eyes.

   "You guys really can dream."

   Jets?

   Still want to make MiG?

   How easy is it!

   This is not a technical problem, but the supporting industry cannot support it at all. It is impossible for every part of an aircraft to be ground with a high-precision plasma cutting machine.

   Not to mention how many man-hours and materials it would take, even if it were ground, the cost would be unacceptable to them anyway.

   What they need to consider is how to maximize their limited advantages as much as possible.

   Looking at the concept map scribbled on the blackboard, Mosquito said with a headache.

   "...Or as I said, you can directly get the humanoid AA to play, and you don't have to think about EMP and signal hijacking."

   Just when he was feeling restless, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from beside him.

   "Oh! Is this your plane? It looks so retro!" Pai said curiously, looking at the plane's shell on the open space.

   Mosquito turned his head and saw a little girl with pale blond hair standing next to his disassembled W-2 ground attack aircraft.

   If it was normal, he certainly wouldn't mind wasting time bragging.

   But now he's obviously not in that mood.

   "Go, go, children play, don't interfere with adults' work."

   Although his human joint language is not proficient, because he often interacts with NPCs, there is no problem in daily communication.

   Most life players are like that.

   Pai looked at the guy dissatisfied.

   "Who said I was a child! I'm sixteen years old this year!"

   Mosquito plucked his ears and laughed.

   "Sixteen years old? Didn't you graduate from junior high school?"

   Pai tilted his head.

   "chuzhong?"

   These people always have some difficult words in their speech.

   "Anyway, this is not the place where children should come. Go back and find your mother. Go, I'll call the guards if you don't leave." Mosquito made a gesture to chase away mosquitoes.

This guy……

   Seeing that he was looked down upon, Pai raised his brows.

   was about to go out from here, her eyes fell on the blackboard next to her, and her expression suddenly became interesting.

   "Are you planning to atomize kerosene and ignite it?"

   "Otherwise?" Mosquito asked without hesitation.

   "Hehe, no—what—what—"

   took a long tone and returned a sentence, Pai stared at the blackboard for a second, wrote down the dense content on it, and then turned and walked away.

   Mosquito looked at the back of the little girl in confusion, and was a little confused by her last sentence.

   At this time, Persuasion next to him suddenly said.

   "That NPC... looks like Pai?"

   Soul Chaser looked at him strangely.

  “π?”

   Persuade shook his head.

   "Didn't you read the discussion on the official website? She seems to be from that 101 camp."

  …

  【Mission: Into Hell】

   [Briefing: Mutant slime molds are one of the core threats facing survivors in the wasteland. In order to figure out their origin and how to deal with them, the Refuge Medical Laboratory needs more samples. Note: Strong electromagnetic interference has been detected in this area, electronic equipment may malfunction, and air support cannot be used for this mission. 】

  [Main goal: Go to the second ring road to the third ring road in the city center, and collect slime mold samples at sampling points 1, 2, and 3 on the map. 】

  【Secondary Objective: We lost a reconnaissance plane in the downtown area, if conditions permit, please bring back the pilot's VM. (Player ID: Luo Yu). 】

  【Task Publisher: Heya】

  【Minimum Access Level: LV.20】

  【Number of team members required: 4~8 people】

  【Mission risk factor: ? 】

  【Recommended equipment: gas masks, protective clothing, compass, paper maps and other low-electronic equipment. 】

   "The risk factor question mark is okay."

   This is to do something.

  The save point in the north of Dawn City, Ye Shi stood in front of the storage box, looking at the task pop-up window on the VM with a look of surprise.

   A few minutes ago, Lao Bai pulled a team and shared this task from the medical laboratory to their VM.

   quickly brought the required equipment, Ye Shi confirmed the assembly coordinates on the map, and immediately rushed to meet his teammates.

   The meeting point is at the airport next to the military camp in the north of the city.

  Due to the complicated road conditions in the urban area, there are a lot of alien activities on the road. In order to save time and ammunition, the "Dragonfly" transport opportunity of the new alliance will send them to the edge of the Fifth Ring Road together with the airdropped materials, and parachute into the target area.

   It was the same as when I was in Saizhou City.

   arrived at the meeting point.

  Ye Shi found that his four teammates had been waiting here for a long time.

  Including Lao Bai who was in the front row, everyone tacitly did not bring exoskeletons, but only brought some cheap and durable light equipment.

   Everyone's expressions are relaxed, even casual.

   After all, the people standing here are not skydiving for the first time.

  Although the situation in Qingquan City is far more complicated than that in Xizhou City, and the risk factor of the mission is quite suspicious, the mission requirement is not to fight bosses, but to collect a few samples.

   For the most powerful team in the entire server, this is obviously not a problem.

   "...The business license of the registered company has been issued, and the place of registration is in Shanghai."

   "In the future, the transaction can go to the company's account, and the company will pay the individual in the form of a technical service fee. I have consulted with the owner of the game studio I know, and they basically operate in this way, which can save a lot of trouble."

   leans next to the hangar.

   Fang Chang and his teammates were talking about real things.

  The funds obtained through the silver coin trading platform will directly enter the company account, deduct personal income tax and 5% of operating costs and then pay to the players.

   The company and the player sign a cooperation contract, not a labor contract.

  Because the part of the money paid to the player belongs to the operating cost of the company, the 5% retained by the company can only be regarded as profit after deducting a series of other costs, so there is no problem of paying two taxes on the same money.

   Considering the different policies in different places, through this series of operations, although there is an additional intermediate link, the cost is actually not much higher than that of private-to-private transfers.

   And avoid the trouble of explaining income.

   Everyone holds a part of the shares, even the shareholders are also working part-timers.

   Considering that there will be more and more players in the future, you can also promote the business to other players in need, and charge a nominal 5% service fee or something.

   Anyway, their core business is in the game.

   I didn't plan to rely on this cattle and horse company to make money.

   After hearing what Fang Chang said, Ye Shi was surprised.

"So fast?"

Fang Chang said with a smile: "I found an accounting company to do it. There are many companies doing this kind of business in Shanghai, and they can also provide a venue. However, I will still rent an office and hire a professional accountant. After all, if the amount of funds is large, I still don’t feel comfortable using someone else’s financial system.”

   The most critical issue is security.

   Whether it is property security or information security.

   quit smoking with admiration.

   "Brother is awesome!"

   "What the heck, it's not a difficult thing." Fang Chang couldn't help laughing and crying. After a pause, he continued, "Actually, I've been thinking about a question these past few days."

   Quit smoking and asked curiously, "What's the problem?"

  Fang Chang said seriously: "The previous auction... What is the sky-high auction item that was sold for 4 million silver coins?"

  4 million silver coins.

  According to the average price of 1 silver coin to 80RMB before trading suspension, it is equivalent to more than three hundred million!

   With such a large hand, it is unlikely that a certain player in the game will behave. After all, even if it is a Niu Ma Brick Factory, it is quite difficult to take out so much "cash" at one time.

   What's even more elusive is that the mysterious buyer went silent after taking pictures of the item. He didn't come to the forum to pretend, and he didn't listen to anyone to show it off.

  The official did not announce what the deal was from beginning to end, and the melon-eating crowd watched as the bidding price rose steadily, and then the hammer knocked everything out.

   This series of abnormal operations is hard not to think about.

   No wonder mosquitoes are interested.

   Honestly, he was starting to get curious.

   Ye Shi asked with interest.

   "What do you think that thing would be?"

   Fang Chang thought for two seconds and gave an ambiguous answer.

   "Maybe something more valuable than money."

   He is also not sure if his guess is correct, he has been following the news these days.

  "?" Ye someone looked at his good brother in confusion.

What does    mean more than money?

   At this time, a shout came from the runway next to him.

   "Hey! How long do you guys have to linger, you won't be able to leave."

   Seeing that the pilot started urging, Lao Bai relaxed his thoughtful expression and patted his teammates' shoulders with a smile.

   "Let's go, let's get on the plane."

   (end of this chapter)
