Chapter 362 Daily life of players and messages from companies

  Looking at the rough press card in her hand, Dolly walked out of the newspaper with a dazed expression on her face.

  Ten minutes ago, with the help of Hal, she completed the entry procedures, and then she was told to report here on time at 7:00 tomorrow morning.

   All this happened so suddenly that she didn't recover from it at all.

  Looking at Fang Chang who was half a step ahead, she suddenly raised her head and asked.

   “…wait a minute, why should I be a reporter?”

   Facing the girl's question, Fang Chang said in a casual tone.

   "Because I feel that you are quite good at inquiring about news."

   "But... I haven't done this job before." Dolly looked a little embarrassed.

  In her opinion, she was able to get this job because of this guy's favor.

   What if I screw up myself?

etc…

  Dolly's chest suddenly jumped, and all the things that happened today were connected together in her mind.

  Could it be...

  He accepted the entrustment of 25 chips, not to get close to the bank president's daughter, but to help me get this job because of Hal's favor...

  When this sudden thought appeared in her mind, she felt that her brain had become a boiling pot.

   Blank in the scalding.

   "Doesn't everything start from the first time? The first time I used a bow and arrow, I almost missed even the standing hyena."

  Fang Chang did not pay attention to the change of the girl's thoughts beside him, but continued with a smile.

  "...And, didn't you say that it's the same everywhere in the world? You might as well try another environment, maybe life will give you a different answer."

   "With a stable job, you also have time to pursue some healthy hobbies... such as raising a pot of succulents? That's how the word should be pronounced."

  His Chinese language is not very proficient. Many times, although he expresses one meaning, he hears another meaning in other people's ears.

  But after getting along for a long time, I guess the problem should not be a big problem.

  Fang Chang believes that this little girl should be able to understand the meaning conveyed by her words.

  The salary offered by the newspaper is based on the standard of the new alliance. The minimum hourly wage is 1 silver coin, and 12 hours a day is 12 silver coins. Converted into chips, there are 180 chips in a month.

   That's almost double what you earn working at the Boulder factory!

   This amount is enough for her to repay the monthly loan of 50 chips and pay the rent of 52 chips.

  Wait until the probationary period is over, the salary will go up. There are additional bonuses if important news is collected.

   However, Hal's description of "important news" is very general, saying only "things that people care about."

   Obviously, the rookie president himself doesn't know what people care about.

   There has never been a newspaper before that was designed for ordinary people in outer cities.

  Everyone is exploring.

  Whether it is a newspaper office or an employee of the newspaper office.

  But what Dolly is thinking about at the moment is not about work, nor the future life Fang Chang described for her, or the pot of succulents in front of the window that has not yet been placed.

  Dolly stared blankly at Fang Chang for a while, and after hearing him speak vividly in non-standard human couplets for a long time, a narrow smile suddenly appeared on her face.

   "I see, you don't want me to work in a bar, right? Are you worried that I will be eaten tofu?"

   Before the stunned Fang Chang could speak, she continued on her own.

   "Don't worry, no one is interested in the smell of motor oil on me except a weirdo like you."

   Fang Chang stared at her dumbfounded, and was stunned for a while, unable to tell whether to laugh or cry.

   "Did you hear what I just said?"

   If I have to say it, it's really worrying to see this little girl working in the bar.

   After all, the bars on that street are not good places.

   But this is obviously not the main reason.

  Among all the people he knew, Ye Shi's stinky younger brother seemed to have the potential to become Luo Likong.

  For an adult like him, of course, the big billion point is more in line with his aesthetics.

  However, Dolly didn't care about Fang Chang's reaction.

  The corners of her thin lips curled up, and she stretched out her hands as she was walking behind, pushing on the back of the guy in front of her.

   "Let's go!"

   "Go...where?"

   "Of course it's for dinner. To celebrate my new job, why don't you have a drink together?"

  With a bright smile on her face, Dolly said happily.

   "I invite you! Don't dawdle, I just know a good restaurant!"

  Looking at the girl walking briskly to the front, Fang Chang was slightly taken aback, and a smile appeared on his face.

   It seems that I have done a good thing.

  He was also in a happy mood, and made a joke with the NPC in front of him.

   "Then I'm not being polite to you."

   Dolly gave a smirk.

   "Don't be polite, it's a very cheap place anyway!"

  …

  At the same time, in the north of Dawn City.

  In the Yumu area, which is considered by the players to be a treasure trove for spawning monsters, the flames of the explosion soared into the sky.

  A tentacled myriad was torn apart by the RPG's high-explosive grenade, and fell to the edge of the forest with a splash of dust.

  Standing all the way to watch, Jiujiu clapped her hands and applauded with sparkling eyes.

   "Oh, oh, my brother is amazing!"

Her ID is the same as her screen name, called [Jiu Jiu loves to eat pineapple], and the volunteer she filled out is the intelligence department, and she was very lucky to get the last sequence of the intelligence department in the current version, and there was no "summoning accident", turning into a mouse or Something else.

  Depressing the launch tube that was emitting green smoke in his hand, Ye Shi raised his eyebrows in a high-flying manner.

   "Don't be six in the basics."

  The sound of the explosion attracted nearby players.

  Many newcomers who haven't awakened saw this guy using RPG to fight monsters, and called him a prodigal.

   "Damn it, hit wild monsters with high-explosive shells... and use two shots, are you crazy?"

   "The material is gone along with the monster."

   "Too prodigal! It's a ghost to make money back!"

   "Speaking of which, who is that female player?"

   "I haven't seen it before, it's new."

   "Fuck, wait, is it the Emperor of Europe?!"

  Standing beside the farmland with a **** in hand, Makabazi couldn't help but complained.

   "Damn Europeans! Chiguoguo's shady scene! Is this a distortion of human nature or—"

  Going up the mountain to fight tigers couldn't take it anymore, so I rolled my eyes.

   "What are you farting, aren't you a beta tester yourself?"

  Makaba was stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly, with a smirk on his face.

   "Yeah, I seem to be too... Hahahaha! That's okay!"

tiger:"…"

   Ignoring the calls of the salted fish, Ye Shi was about to brag a few words, but found his old sister standing more than ten meters away, hiding far away, just clapping her hands.

   "Gah! Don't just look, you can also do it!"

   Jiujiu said with an aggrieved face.

   "But, that monster is too ugly... and the tentacles look scary, can we change the place to spawn monsters?"

  Ye Shi said angrily.

   "This is already the most suitable spot for newcomers to spawn monsters. I'm afraid there is a hammer, and you have to kill it to become stronger!"

  Jiu Jiu pouted unconvinced.

   "By the way, aren't we in the same team? If you spawn monsters, I have experience, right?"

  Looking at the chattering brother and sister, Kuangfeng sighed and explained.

   "...There is no such statement. All we can do is to help you when you are in danger and keep your experience gains today. As for gaining experience, you must participate in the battle."

   It has been almost three days since Jiujiu went online, logically it should be LV3 long ago.

  However, because Ye Shi overprotected her, he couldn't help but make shots, which caused her experience to fail.

  The most authentic part of this game is also here.

  If you just stand in the back row of OB, although you can get the money and contribution points of the mission rewards, but the sequence progress as "experience value" will not be improved.

   Unless it is a perception system.

  As the only sequence that can gain experience, the perception system can gain a small growth as long as it searches for the enemy with the mind.

   These are the experiences they have summed up from the alpha0.1 version. Although so many versions have passed, these core settings have not changed.

  Of course, Gu Feng felt that part of the reason might be that the conditions of the Beta version were less difficult than those of the Alpha version.

  When they first entered the game, there were no Ripper rifles and pu-9 submachine guns, and a bolt-pull iron-barreled rifle could be used as a graduation outfit.

  T1 echelon players are still fighting with axes and spears. To besiege a small group of mercenaries, the manager has to do it himself.

  Assault rifle?

  Bazooka?

   What is that thing?

  Experiencing the test of death every day, the upgrade speed is naturally much faster than now.

  Jiu Jiu nodded half understanding.

  Although I don't understand it very well, I feel very powerful.

  Especially in the game, she is 5 cm taller than in reality, her tall figure looks like a model.

   Just this point, can she blow it up?

   This game is simply amazing!

  The only regret is that she can't pinch her face, and she can't show her art skills.

   "By the way, do you usually play games together?" Jiujiu asked curiously, looking back and forth between the old brother and the player who was said to be a physics professor.

  Guangfeng nodded.

   "I was in a group a long time ago."

   "Group?" Jiujiu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Can you pull me in?"

   "No problem, I'll be offline later—"

   "No! NO! Don't let her in!" Before Kuang Feng finished speaking, Ye Shi not far away let out a scream.

  Looking at the brother who reacted strongly, Jiujiu couldn't help frowning.

   "Why can't you let me in?"

  Ye Shi, of course, couldn't talk about the ID, scratching his head anxiously, trying to persuade him.

   "Jiujiu...Well, listen to me, we are all adults, and we usually talk more openly—"

   "They're all amorous, right?" Before listening to what the old man was saying, Jiujiu's eyes sparkled and said, "It's okay, I'll just take a look and don't talk!"

  Blanch!

  Ye Shi raised his right hand to cover his face.

   Looking at Ye Shi with a constipated expression, Kuang Feng coughed dryly.

   "It shouldn't be so exaggerated... In fact, we rarely even post pictures."

  Ye Shi gave him a hard look.

   "Why don't you think about your ID before you say this!"

  Guang Feng was stunned for a moment, his expressionless face suddenly flushed, and he turned his face away with a dry cough.

   "...Aren't I just kidding?"

   "ID?" Jiujiu looked curious, "Isn't it Kuangfeng?"

   "...Children, it's better not to ask so many questions," Kuang Feng coughed dryly, looked at the smoky corpse, and changed the topic, "The efficiency of leveling is too low, and this is not an option."

  Ye Shi sighed.

   "It would be great if elder brother Fang was here, he has a lot of bad ideas."

   "Indeed," Kuang Feng nodded in agreement, thought for a moment, and then suddenly said, "But... I have a suggestion."

   "What advice?"

   "In addition to fighting, the intelligence department can also choose a career in life... I heard that your sister's real major is painting?" Kuang Feng looked at Ye Shi, "Why don't you let Fuji Teng take her?"

   Upon hearing this, Ye Shi, who had a loud voice before, instantly weakened by a few decibels.

   "Ah... this, it's not very good, I have already accepted the task of passing on fire, and I asked others to help me lead my apprentice..."

   "It doesn't matter, anyway, we often help each other."

"But…"

  Looking at the elder brother who suddenly became shy, Jiujiu suddenly flashed a hint of cunning in his eyes, and said in a lovely and pitiful voice.

   "Brother, I am suddenly interested in life and occupation..."

  Are you interested in a life career?

   She didn't eat her set of Ye Shi at all, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

  However, he still couldn't stand his sister's pleading, and sighed with a headache.

   "Okay... let me ask for you."

  Jiujiu excitedly made a gesture of victory.

   "Yeah! That's great bro!"

   "At that moment you helped me take out the trash."

   "Hey, little things! I'll go when I get off the assembly line!"

  Looking at the rowdy siblings, Kuangfeng didn't show a smile on his face.

  It's good to be young.

  …

   "Ah Choo!"

  Tengteng Hut, an old shop in Wetland Park.

  Sitting behind the counter, Fujiteng sneezed, rubbed his little nose, buried his head and muttered in a low voice, "Who is blackmailing me again?"

  Looking at the worried little fish in front of the counter, she straightened her petite body, allowing her gentle and kind smile to rise above the counter.

   "...the clothes you ordered are ready, I'll bring them here for you."

   Xiaoyu had a happy smile on his face.

"Crab!"

   "...you're welcome, I should thank you then, and often come to take care of our business."

  Going backstage to get a bag of clothes, Fujiteng handed it to Xiaoyu with a soft smile on his face.

   "I also made Boss Xia's clothes for her, please take them for her."

"Um!"

  Looking at Xiaoyu who took the clothes, Fujiteng suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen her in the bank for a long time, so he asked curiously.

   "Speaking of which, why haven't I seen you at the bank recently?"

   "Xiaoyu is going to study abroad!"

   "Study...to study?" Fujito looked at her in surprise, "...Is it Boulder City?"

   By the way, is there a university in the wasteland?

   It's incredible.

"No," Xiaoyu shook his head, and said crisply, "It's Camp No. 101 in Xizhou City! Brother Chu said, I can learn a lot of knowledge there, so I can help everyone when I come back. busy."

  Looking at the sensible little girl, Fujiteng couldn't help reaching out and stroking her hair lovingly.

   "You have always been helpful to everyone, now and in the future... Go ahead and be careful out there."

  She suddenly felt that the person who said this was like an old mother. Although this unbelievable size was about to be overtaken by Xiaoyu, it was against harmony no matter how you looked at it.

   That's the only thing that's annoying about this game.

   It's too **** bad that I can't even out my real height by two centimeters!

  But Xiaoyu doesn't care, she and everyone in the settlement are very good friends.

   She looked at Fujiteng seriously and said.

   "Well! Xiaoyu will pay attention to safety! Fujito should also pay attention to safety!"

   "Of course I will, see you next time."

  Looking at the little girl walking to the door, Fujiteng smiled and waved goodbye.

   When we meet again next time, Xiaoyu might be taller than himself.

   But having said that, NPCs with similar human intelligence will notice that their world is virtual, and they players are actually immortal?

   A strange idea suddenly appeared in Fujiteng's mind.

   Maybe Xiaoyu actually knows that they are a group of immortal people.

  Even if the head is chopped off and bombarded to pieces, after three days, they will still crawl out of the training cabin like a normal person.

   But even so, she will still treat them as best friends, heal everyone with a warm smile, cheer for everyone, and worry about their safety...

  Is this something the game can do?

   Fujiteng touched his chin and muttered in a low voice.

   “…that’s weird.”

  Although it is not a very important thing.

  …

   "I... I'm leaving."

   At dusk.

  On the platform of the train station, Xia Yan was standing next to the train door with a complicated expression on his face.

  Boss Xia, who was always carefree and lazy on weekdays, became sentimental at the moment.

   Seeing her not looking like herself, Chu Guang couldn't help but make a joke.

   "It's only over a hundred kilometers, and it's not like I won't come back. Why are you so sad."

  Xia Yan frowned, and was about to say something, but the guy suddenly changed his tone and continued.

   "Be careful on the road, just catch fish at work, but don't catch fish while studying."

   "Oh... got it, it's really long-winded." Although she complained, she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart.

   This feeling of being controlled doesn't seem to be bad.

   "Fishing?" The little fish standing next to Boss Xia tilted his head, his bright eyes filled with confusion.

  Chu Guang coughed lightly and explained.

   "It means being lazy."

   "?"

   The little fish with its head tilted was obviously more confused, and didn't understand why it was lazy to touch itself.

  However, there is no time to explain at this moment, the train whistle has already sounded.

  The door closes.

   Pai, who was lying on the edge of the car window, waved excitedly at Chu Guang on the platform.

   "Goodbye, Mr. Manager of Vault 404! I will take good care of Xiaoyu!"

  Chu Guang smiled and said.

   "I trust you, don't forget our agreement by the way."

   Pai vigorously gave him a thumbs up and gave him a reliable look.

   "Leave it to me without worry!"

  Looking at Pai who stretched half of his body out of the window, Xiaoyu sitting opposite asked curiously.

   "What did you agree with Brother Chu?"

   "Hmph, secret!"

   Came back from the window, Pai lowered his voice seriously, but couldn't hide the pride on his face.

  The manager of Vault 101 is a "pioneer", and by analogy, the manager of Vault 404 is of course also counted.

  Participating in the affairs of the "pioneers" made her feel like doing things for the "grown-ups".

  Although it's just a small matter of running errands.

  Xiaoyu nodded half-understood, and didn't continue to ask, but Boss Xia, who was sitting by the side with his arms folded, frequently cast vigilant gazes here.

  The train begins to move forward.

  On the platform outside the carriage.

   Watching the chimney with white mist go away, Chu Guang smiled and waved his hands, saying goodbye to every reluctant face on the train.

  A total of 30 students went to camp No. 101 to study abroad, half of them were elites from all walks of life in the new alliance, aged between 16 and 30.

  The rest of the students are aged between 14 and 16, and they are students with excellent grades selected from full-time schools.

   When conditions permit, more people will arrive one after another.

   Regarding this matter, Chu Guang has already communicated with the mayor of Camp No. 101 on the phone.

  When he heard that Chu Guang was willing to pay the annual tuition fee of 10,000 silver coins for each student, the old man named Horn only thought for a moment before agreeing to the proposal.

  They obviously knew the prices of the new alliance, and they also had a clear idea of ​​the purchasing power of 10,000 silver coins.

  After seeing the rich properties of the new alliance, their attitude has changed from the initial vigilance.

   As for the tuition fee, will it be too much?

   obviously does not exist.

   Not to mention that Chu Guang has just received a loan of 200 million chips from the Bank of Boulder City, and a steady stream of supplies and consumer goods are flowing from Boulder City to the northern suburbs of Qingquan City. Even without deep pockets, he'll squeeze that money out of the league's budget.

  Education is a long-term investment, whether it is basic education or higher education.

  A lithium battery-related technology can help him recover a huge sum of 3 million silver coins. If the 300,000 silver coins are thrown out, the help to the new alliance is far more than just an antique-level technology.

  In addition to talent training, there is also the introduction of talent and technology.

  In fact, this matter is already in progress.

  The drainage system of Dawn City was redesigned by that old man named Butan.

  The electrical engineer Yuan Feng who visited Dawn City with Pai before also planned to stay this time to help them build and plan the power grid from Dawn City to Dawn City and prepare for the repair of the controllable fusion reactor.

  All work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

   Whether it is the construction of Dawn City or the layout of the new alliance in Boulder City.

  Watching the chimney disappear into the edge of the forest, Chu Guang looked back from a distance.

   "Aren't you going back with me?"

  The bionic man without facial features stood quietly on the platform, his eyes still on the north side.

   Chu Guang remembered that its name was Tianqin, and it came from Vault 101 and served as Pai's guard.

  Of course, it may be to protect the chip in the little girl's brain.

   After all, if you use one of those things, you need one less, which is much more expensive than a rotten wrist-mounted computer like VM.

  Hearing the voice from the side, Tian Qin turned her face and replied with an electronic voice without waves.

   "Mr. Manager asked me to stay here, observe, and protect if necessary."

  A trace of surprise floated in Chu Guang's eyes.

   "So you can talk."

  Tianqin nodded.

   "If it interferes with your work, please let me know and I will leave on my own."

  Chu Guang: "That's not necessary, you can do whatever you want, but don't scare ordinary people."

  Tianqin nodded, stretched out her hand and pulled the brim of the hood, hiding her face in the shadows.

  Chu Guang didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left the station with the guards beside him.

  Anyway, there is nothing shameful about him here, so if you want to OB, just OB.

   As if there is a moving statue on his territory, and occasionally he can help him watch his home.

  If this guy really planned to plot against him, he would have done it long ago.

  No matter how you say it, the probability of conflict between shelters is extremely small.

   Intuition told Chu Guang that this guy might be very strong, after all, he has never seen it charged.

  According to the information investigated and sorted out by Chief Fang, Jushi Military Industry is suspected to have a secret troop composed of awakened and reformed people, disguised as mercenaries and hiding in the city.

   Just like he exported players to Boulder City, this army that was broken up into pieces and hidden in the dark might get mixed up under his nose.

   This kind of thing is not impossible.

  However, this is not what he needs to consider right now.

  This morning, Chu Guang received a message from afar.

   Later, the caravan from Ideal City will arrive in the northern suburb of Qingquan City.

   Accompanied by reinforcements sent by the company to the west.

  They will stay here for a short few days, and then follow the trail of the Pioneer into the western desert.

  Vault No. 404 is the "permanent partner" of the company, and the two parties have established a deep friendship in the short-term cooperation.

  As the saying goes, is it a pleasure to have friends come from afar?

  As the manager of the refuge, Chu Guang naturally had to make some preparations for these friends who came from afar.

   By the way, let's see if there is any opportunity to deepen cooperation...
