Chapter 45 Honghe Town without Grain Production

  What Chu Guang didn't expect was that there were quite a lot of good things on the back of the ox.

   For example, the top 5 "rider" revolver.

   This thing has a caliber of 7mm, and there are two simple rifling lines in the barrel, which can basically keep the trajectory of the fired bullets within 50 meters stable.

In particular, the simple spring-type receiver structure is not only very convenient for maintenance, but also quite reliable in combat. Even if accidents such as jamming and duds occur, there is no need to worry. You only need to flick the wheel to continue shooting.

  Removing the barrel can still be used as a pistol, but the accuracy depends on fate.

  Of course, what makes Chu Guang most satisfied is the speed of fire of this thing.

  Although it is a semi-automatic design, as long as the speed of pulling the trigger is fast enough, it is not a problem to fire six bullets in a short time to form a suppressing effect!

   It can be said to be quite humane.

   Just when Chu Guang was thinking about whether to pick a rifle as "compensation", his eyes suddenly fell on the sacks tied on both sides of the two-headed cow.

  Open it and see that it is stuffed full of coins.

  These coins are brass-colored or silver-white. I don’t know what material they are made of, but they haven’t rusted. The brass-colored coins look a little smaller, and the silver-white ones are a little bigger, with denominations of 1 and 10 written on them, corresponding to the currency value.

   "Pre-War Currency? No..."

   Picking up a coin, Chu Guang turned it over, and quickly recognized the small characters printed on it——

  【Galaxy Casino】

   Good guy.

   It turned out to be game currency.

   "Where did you get this thing?"

   Throwing the coin back into the sack, Chu Guang looked up and down at the businessman surnamed Sun, and asked with the nervous expression on his face.

  Hearing Chu Guang's question, Sun Shiqi replied honestly.

   "I found these coins in the basement of a game arcade. I felt that some copper and steel should be smelted, so I just packed them."

  Ordinary caravans rarely stop to search, and usually trade with local scavengers, which is beneficial to both parties and can avoid potential conflicts.

   But nothing is absolute, just like poor mercenaries who occasionally act as looters to rob houses, of course, cash-strapped businessmen will take the risk of picking up **** by themselves.

  For example, the businessman in front of him obviously hasn't been in this business for a long time. Maybe the two-headed cow behind him was bought by him not long ago.

   "Are there any more?" Chu Guang asked.

  Sun Shiqi froze for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.

   "It seems that there are still two cabinets... Such sacks can probably hold four to five."

   "Very well, I want them all."

  Chu Guang unloaded the two sacks from the cow's back, looked at Sun Shiqi and said.

"These two sacks and the coins inside are your compensation to us. Next time you come here, remember to bring the remaining coins. Let me think about it... For every hundred kilograms of coins, I will give you four How about a kilogram of air-dried meat?"

  One hundred kilograms, which is almost the amount of a sack, can hold about 30,000 to 40,000 coins.

  Business pays attention to steady flow of water, and Chu Guang didn't want to be too harsh, so he picked these two sacks, which happened to be useful for him.

and…

  Since he planned to let this person go, Chu Guang didn't want to make his need for weapons too obvious.

   Apparently he didn't expect the person in front of him to be interested in these waste products. Sun Shiqi's face was full of surprises, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously, so he nodded quickly and said.

   "No problem! As long as you need it, I will wear it all next time!"

  He doesn't care about the man in front of him, what's the use of taking these coins. Maybe it's for feelings? Maybe it's another reason? These old popsicles are not easy to figure out.

   He originally planned to drag these coins to Boulder City and sell them as copper and steel, but in fact, they couldn't sell many chips.

  If you can use them to open up a shelter market, no matter how you think about it, the deal will be worth it!

  Besides, reducing some of the load in advance will make the road ahead easier for him.

  In addition to the two sacks of coins, Chu Guang also kept the five revolver rifles he had been fancying before, and also bought the 200 rounds of 7mm bullets he carried.

   In exchange, he provided a total of 50 kilograms of bacon and 10 kilograms of smoked fish to the businessman who came from afar.

  Although there were many misunderstandings in the initial contact between the two parties, in general, the result was satisfactory to both parties.

  Chu Guang got what he wanted, and the businessman surnamed Sun also got the trading rights and food he needed.

  It is hard for the survivors living in Qingquan City to imagine the situation in Duhonghe Town. Although the two places are less than a hundred kilometers apart, the ecological environment there is completely different.

   According to the businessman surnamed Sun, there is a large-scale chemical industry base and a landfill in the local area.

  Because no one maintained these facilities after the war, the inventory leaked, so that the local soil was seriously polluted, and the heavy metal content exceeded the standard. Large areas of desertification and compaction have not been completely repaired by nature even now.

   Not only that, due to the fragility of the ecosystem, the local xenomorphs are mainly scavengers and arthropods.

  And this extreme situation has caused the local survivors to have almost no available arable land, and it is difficult to maintain their livelihood through hunting.

   But what is very interesting is that the landfill that was protested by the locals more than once before the war has become the greatest wealth of the local survivors in the two centuries after the end of the nuclear war.

  There is nearly half a century of garbage buried there, and a large part of it has not been degraded in time.

  In today's wasteland era, the garbage buried there has formed another sense of "non-natural deposits", and has contributed to the prosperity of local mining, archaeology, and trade.

   "But what do you eat?" After listening to Sun Shiqi's description, Chu Guang couldn't help asking, "Does it all depend on imports?"

  The price of food must not rise to the sky!

"Of course it is impossible to rely entirely on imports. Although there are no reindeer and hyenas, many mutant moles and mice can be eaten. In addition, we will also capture some less dangerous insects, use them to make protein extracts, and feed them. Livestock, or something like a balm... like this."

   While speaking, Sun Shiqi took out a sealed glass jar from the package carried on the back of the two-headed ox, which contained a black glue-bound substance.

   It looks a bit like Guiling jelly.

  Chu Guang had seen this thing before when he was flipping through the package, but he didn't understand what it was used for, so he ignored it.

   I didn't expect it to be food.

   "What is this made of?"

  Sun Shiqi smiled and said.

   "Mutated cockroach."

  Chu Guang: "..."

day!

  He felt that he could no longer look directly at Guiling Jelly.

"Although it is the protein and oil extracted from mutated cockroaches, after repeated steps such as boiling, filtering, drying, grinding, soaking, and collecting juice, this thing has nothing to do with cockroaches. It is full of Protein...would you like some more?"

  Chu Guang said with a straight face.

   "No need."

  Rather starve to death, he will never accept eating this stuff.

but…

   Listening to this guy, the cost of this food seems low?

  Mutated cockroaches are very common no matter where they are, and the cockroaches in Qingquan City must contain much less heavy metals than those in Honghe Town.

  When necessary, it seems like a good choice to use this nutrient paste as an emergency ration for players?

   Chu Guang has been thinking for a long time about whether to be an individual.

  But at this moment, he suddenly thought of another thing.

   "Sounds like you know a lot about insects?"

  Sun Shiqi nodded immediately.

   “Of course, we deal with that stuff every day.”

  Chu Guang continued to ask.

   "Then do you have a way to deal with leeches?"

   "A leech?" Sun Shiqi was stunned for a moment, "You mean... that kind of mutated leech?"

"Um."

  Seeing Chu Guang nodding his head, Sun Shiqi thought for a while, and his expression was a bit embarrassed.

   "That kind of thing... is quite rare in Honghe Town, probably because we have more ants there."

   Chu Guang asked with a frown.

"Ant?"

  Sun Shiqi nodded and continued.

"Well, we have a species called Ironback Ant, which is about the size of a thumb and can grow up to the size of a fist. This thing has a very hard carapace, is resistant to corrosion, and eats almost everything. Most molluscs are not them. opponent."

   Chu Guang asked.

   "Could you show me some next time?"

  Sun Shiqi said with a smile.

   "No problem! Just leave it on me!"

  After the transaction was completed, the businessman surnamed Sun did not stay here for too long, but chose to continue on the road.

  Chu Guang didn't keep him, but reminded him that there was a camp of mutants near 76th Street, and that there were traces of predator activities in the north of the Wetland Park, and then wished him a good journey.

  The figure of the two-headed bull gradually disappeared into the woods.

  The players who watched him go were all talking.

   "That guy just now is indeed a businessman!"

   "Gan, it's a good thing I didn't beat him."

   "It should be fine if you beat it, and you can keep all his things."

   "It's true to say that, but what if the businessman stops swiping after he dies?"

"It's impossible not to brush after you die, but maybe there is only such a businessman in the expansion pack of the coming winter. And you didn't hear the plan, Wasteland OL claims to create a completely true reflection of supply and demand. The economic system. If this is not a big pie, it is the right answer to put a long line to catch big fish!"

   "...It seems to make sense."

   Regardless of the players' comments, Chu Guang's mind at this moment is entirely on the two sacks of game coins.

  He has a bold idea.

  Since plastic chips can be used as general equivalents, why not metal currency?

   These two sacks of coins cost at least 60,000 to 70,000 coins, and it won't be long before the businessman surnamed Sun can get him a lot.

  For a scale of less than 500 people, these coins are completely enough!

  Bronze-colored coins are regarded as copper coins, and silver-white coins are regarded as silver coins, and the currency value is 10 to 1.

  The original contribution points are incorporated into the new honor system, which can be used to buy status, titles, and even private land.

  At the same time, the mercenary, caravan, guild, and legion systems that will be launched in the future will also be linked to contribution points. Only players who contribute enough are qualified to lead other players.

   This will not only strengthen management, but also greatly restrict those players who are doing things.

  After all, the higher the value of a player's account, the more he knows how to cherish his hard-won game qualifications, and the more he tends to invest more liver and spontaneously maintain order in the game.

  Making things up is fun.

   And that's human nature.

  Alone, he dragged two sacks weighing nearly 100 kilograms and returned to the refuge. Chu Guang then found an empty room without the activation of the training cabin, and leaned the sacks against the corner of the wall.

  Then, he turned around and returned to the resident hall, turned on the computer, logged into the background of the official website, and began to edit the title.

  【Wasteland OL beta test service alpha0.3 version update announcement: major adjustments to the economic system! 】

   While typing this line, Chu Guang opened his document.

  I copied a lot of brilliant ideas in the forum before.

   Now it's time to use it...
