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 office with a blank face.

  Ten minutes ago, she was on-boarding with Hal's help, and she was told to report here at 7am tomorrow morning.

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

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

   "…Wait a minute, why do I want to be a reporter?"

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

   "Because I think you're good at getting news."

   "But...I've never done this." Dolly's expression was a little awkward.

   In her opinion, the fact that she can get this job is entirely a favor to this guy.

   What if you screw up?

and many more…

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

  Is it…

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

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

   There is a blank in the scalding hot.

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

  Fang Chang didn't pay attention to the change in the girl's thoughts beside him, just continued talking with a smile.

   "...And, didn't you say that everything is the same in this world? You might as well try it in a different environment, maybe life will give different answers."

   "With a stable job, you are free to pursue some healthy hobbies...such as raising a pot of succulent? That word should be pronounced like this."

   His human conjunctions are not very proficient. Many times, although they express one meaning, they hear a completely different meaning in other people's ears.

   But after getting along for a long time, it shouldn't be a big problem to guess.

   Fang Chang believed that this little girl should be able to understand the meaning of her words.

The salary offered by the    newspaper is in accordance with the standard of the new alliance, the minimum wage is 1 silver per hour, and 12 silver is 12 silver per day for 12 hours of work. Converted into chips, there are 180 chips in a month.

   That's almost double the income of working at the Boulder Factory!

  The money is enough to pay her 50 chips a month loan and pay the rent for 52 chips.

   After the probationary period ends, the salary will increase. There are additional bonuses if important news is collected.

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

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

   There has never been a newspaper before, which was designed for ordinary people in the outer city.

   Everyone is exploring.

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

   But what Dolly was thinking about at the moment was not about work, nor about the future life that Fang Chang had described for her, or the succulent that had not yet been placed in the pot by the window.

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

   "I see, you don't want me to work in a bar, do you? Worry about being eaten tofu?"

   Before waiting for Fang Chang, who was stunned, to speak, she continued to speak to herself.

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

   Fang Chang stared at her dumbfounded for a while, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

   "Did you hear what I said just now?"

  If I have to say it, watching this little girl work in a bar is really worrying.

   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, it seemed that Ye Shi's stinky younger brother had the potential to become Luo Likon.

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

   But Dolly didn't care about Fang Chang's reaction.

   The corners of her thin lips were upturned, and she stretched out her hands as she walked behind, pushing it on the back of the guy in front of her.

   "Let's go!"

   "Go...where?"

   "Of course we're going to dinner, to celebrate my new job, won't we have a drink together?"

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

   "I invite you! Don't wait, I happen to know a good restaurant!"

   Looking at the girl who walked briskly to the front, Fang Chang was slightly stunned, and a smile appeared on his face.

   It seems that he has done a good deed.

   He was equally happy and made a joke with the NPC in front of him.

   "Then I won't be polite to you."

   Dolly gave a wicked laugh.

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

  …

   At the same time, north of Dawn City.

   The Elm area, which was regarded as a treasure land by players, exploded into the sky.

  A multipedal beast waving its tentacles was torn apart by the RPG's high-explosive grenade, and crashed to the edge of the forest, splashing a puff of dust.

   Standing on the sidelines from afar, Jiujiu clapped her hands with sparkling eyes.

   "Oh oh oh my brother is amazing!"

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

   pressed down the smoking tube in his hand, and Ye Shi raised his eyebrows in a dignified manner.

   "The basics are not six."

The movement of the    explosion attracted nearby players.

  Many newcomers who haven't awakened saw this guy use RPG to fight monsters, and they all called him a loser.

   "Damn, smashing monsters with high-explosive bombs... and even using two rounds, crazy?"

   "The material disappeared with the monster."

   "Too prodigal! This is a ghost if you can earn back the capital!"

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

   "I haven't seen it before, raw face."

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

   Standing next to the farmland with a hoe, Makabazi couldn't help but sighed and complained.

   "Damn Europeans! The shady story of Chi Guoguo! Is this a distortion of human nature or—"

   Going up the mountain to beat the tiger couldn't listen anymore, and rolled his eyes.

   "What the **** are you doing, aren't you a beta tester yourself?"

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

   "Yes, I seem to be too... Hahahaha! That's alright!"

tiger:"…"

   ignored the calls of the salted fish, Ye Shi was about to brag about the situation, but found that his old sister was standing a dozen meters away, hiding far away, just clapping her hands.

   "Hey! Don't just watch, you can do it too!"

   Jiujiu said with a look of grievance.

   "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 monster spawning spot for newcomers. I'm afraid there is a hammer to use, you have to kill it to become stronger!"

   Jiujiu pouted in disapproval.

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

   Looking at the chattering siblings, Gu Feng sighed and explained.

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

   It has been almost three days since the launch of Jiu Jiu, and it stands to reason that LV3 should be long overdue.

   However, due to Ye Shi's overprotection of her, she couldn't help but take action, which caused her experience to fail.

  The most authentic place of this game is also here.

   If you just stand in the back row of OB, although you can mix in the money and contribution points of the task reward, 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 amount of growth as long as it searches for the enemy with the mind.

   These are the experiences they have summarized since the alpha0.1 version. Although they have gone through so many versions, these core settings have not changed.

   Of course, Gu Feng thinks, part of the reason may be because the conditions of the Beta version are less difficult than the Alpha version.

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

  The players of the T1 echelon are even fighting with axes and spears, and the administrators must personally go to the siege of a small group of mercenaries.

  Assault Rifle?

  Bazooka?

   What is that?

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

  Jiujiu nodded in 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, and her tall figure looks like a model.

   Just for this, will she blow it up?

   This game is simply amazing!

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

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

   Gu Feng nodded.

   "We were in a group a long time ago."

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

   "No problem, wait for a while to go offline-"

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

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

   "Why can't you let me in?"

  Ye Shi of course couldn't talk about ID, so he scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and persuaded with good words.

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

   "It's more astringent, isn't it?" Jiujiu's eyes sparkled, "It's okay, I'll just take a look and don't talk!"

   Zhuo!

  Ye Ten raised his right hand and covered his face.

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

   "It shouldn't be so exaggerated... We actually don't even post sushi pictures very often."

   Ye Shi glared at him fiercely.

   "You think about your ID before saying this!"

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

   "...I'm not playing tricks."

   "ID?" Jiujiu looked curious, "Isn't it a gust of wind?"

   "...Children, it's better not to ask so many questions," Gu Feng coughed dryly, looked at the corpse with green smoke on the side, and changed the subject, "The efficiency of leveling is too low, this is not the way to go."

   Ye Shi sighed.

   "If only elder brother Fang was here, he has many bad ideas."

   "Indeed," Gu Feng nodded in agreement, thought for a moment, and 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?" Gu Feng looked at Ye Shi, "How about you let Fujiteng take her?"

   Hearing this, Ye Shi, who was quite loud before, instantly weakened by several decibels.

   "Ah... this, it's not very good, I have already taken over the task of spreading fire, and asked others to help me with apprentices..."

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

"But…"

   Looking at the suddenly embarrassed old brother, Jiujiu's eyes suddenly flashed a hint of cunning, and said in a pitiful voice.

   "Brother, I'm suddenly very interested in life and career..."

   Are you interested in life career?

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

   However, in the end, he couldn't hold back his sister's request, and sighed with a headache.

   "Okay...I'll help you ask."

   Jiujiu excitedly gestured for victory.

   "Yeah! Brother is so nice!"

   "You helped me take out the trash at that moment."

   "Hey, little thing! Just go when I'm offline!"

   Looking at the noisy siblings, don't show a smile on Gu Feng's face.

   It's nice to be young.

  …

   "Ah!"

  Teng Teng Hut, an old shop in Wetland Park.

  Teng Teng, who was sitting behind the counter, sneezed, rubbed his nose, buried his head and muttered, "Who is black Lao Tzu again?"

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

   "...The clothes you ordered are ready, I'll get them for you."

   A happy smile appeared on Xiaoyu's face.

"Crab!"

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

   went to the backstage to pick up a bag of clothes, and with a soft smile on his face, Fujiteng handed it to Xiaoyu.

   "I also made Boss Xia's clothes for her. Please bring them together for her."

"Um!"

   Looking at Xiaoyu who took the clothes, Fujito suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen her at 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!"

   "Stay...study?" Fujito looked at her with a look of surprise, "...is it Boulder City?"

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

   is incredible.

"No," Xiaoyu shook his head and said crisply, "It's Camp No. 101 in Xizhou City! Brother Chu said that 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 rubbing her hair dotingly.

   "You've always helped everyone, now and in the future... Go ahead and be careful outside."

   She suddenly felt that she was like an old mother who said this. Although this unsatisfactory stature is almost overtaken by Xiaoyu, it is very inconsistent no matter how you look at it.

  This game is so annoying.

   It's too embarrassing to be able to divide the real height by two centimeters!

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

   She looked at Fujito seriously and said.

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

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

   Looking at the little girl who came to the door, Fujiteng smiled and waved her goodbye gently.

   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 these players are actually immortal?

  Teng Teng suddenly had a strange thought in his mind.

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

   Even if his head was chopped off and smashed to pieces by shells, he would still climb out of the training cabin like a normal person after three days.

   But even so, she still regards them as her best friends, healing everyone with a warm smile, cheering for everyone, worrying about their safety...

   Is this something the game settings can do?

  Teng Teng touched his chin and muttered softly.

   "...how strange."

   It's not a very important thing though.

  …

   "I... leave."

   At dusk.

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

   That Boss Xia, who was always careless and open-minded and lazy on weekdays, was now sentimental.

   Seeing how she didn't look like herself, Chu Guang couldn't help but make a joke.

   "It's only more than 100 kilometers, and it's not that I won't come back. What are you doing so sad?"

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

   "Be careful on the road, it's just a matter of catching fish at work, but don't touch it when you're studying."

   "Oh...I see, it's really long-winded." Although she complained, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

   This feeling of being controlled by others doesn’t seem to be bad.

   "Fishing?" Xiaoyu, who was standing next to Boss Xia, tilted his head, with confusion written in his bright eyes.

  Chu Guang explained with a light cough.

   "It means to be lazy."

  “?”

   The little fish who tilted his head was obviously more confused. He didn't understand why touching himself was lazy.

   However, there is no time to explain now, the train has already honked its whistle.

  The door is closed.

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

   "Goodbye, Mr. Manager of Vault 404! I will take good care of the little fish!"

  Chu Guang smiled and said.

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

   Pai gave him a confident look with a thumbs up energetically.

   "Leave it to me with confidence!"

   Looking at Pai who was sticking half of his body out of the window, Xiaoyu who was sitting opposite curiously raised his head and asked a question.

   "What did you agree with Big Brother Chu?"

   "Hum, secret!"

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

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

   Participating in the affairs of the "pioneers" gave her a feeling of helping the "adults".

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

  Xiaoyu nodded as if he didn't understand, but did not continue to ask, but Boss Xia, who was sitting by the side with his arms folded, frequently cast vigilant glances here.

   The train started to move forward.

   on the platform outside the carriage.

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

   Thirty students went to Camp 101 to study abroad. Half of them were elites from all walks of life in the new alliance, aged between 16 and 30.

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

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

   Regarding this matter, Chu Guang had already communicated with the mayor of Camp 101 on the phone.

   When he heard that Chu Guang was willing to pay 10,000 silver coins per year for each student, the old man named Horn just thought for a moment before agreeing to the proposal.

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

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

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

   obviously does not exist.

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

  Education is a long-term investment, be it basic 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 scattered, the help to the new alliance is far more than just an antique technology.

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

   In fact, this thing is actually already going on.

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

   Yuan Feng, an electrical engineer who visited Dawn City with Pai before, also intends 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 in progress 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 at the edge of the forest, Chu Guang withdrew his gaze from a distance.

   "Aren't you going back with me?"

   The android without facial features stood quietly on the platform, his eyes still stuck to the north.

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

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

   After all, one piece of that thing is less than one piece, which is much more expensive than a wrist-mounted computer like VM.

   Hearing the sound coming from beside him, Tianqin turned her face sideways and replied in an electronic voice without undulations.

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

   A hint of surprise appeared in Chu Guang's eyes.

   "So you can talk."

   Lyra nodded.

   "If it interferes with your work, please tell me 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."

   Lyra nodded, reached out and pulled off the brim of her hood, hiding her face in the shadows.

  Chu Guang didn't ask any further questions, he took the guard beside him, turned around and left the station.

   Anyway, he doesn't have anything shameful here, just OB if he wants to.

   As if there was a moving statue on his territory, he could occasionally help himself look after his home.

   If this guy was really going to plot against himself, he would have done it already.

   In any case, the probability of conflict between shelters is extremely small.

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

  According to the information investigated and sorted out by Fang Chang, the giant stone military industry is suspected to have a secret army composed of awakened and transformed people, disguised as mercenaries to hide in the city.

   Just like he exported players to the Boulder City, this unit was broken up into pieces and hidden in the dark, maybe it would also be mixed under his nose.

   This kind of thing is not impossible.

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

  This morning, Chu Guang received a message from afar.

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

   was accompanied by reinforcements sent by enterprises to the west.

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

   Refuge No. 404 is the "permanent partner" of the company, and the two parties have established a deep friendship during a brief cooperation.

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

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

   By the way, is there any opportunity to deepen cooperation...
