Chapter 78 The fifth batch of Xiao Mengxin

  The square in front of the nursing home was crowded with people.

  The newcomers who just entered the game are the same as the previous batch, looking at the lifelike world in front of them, rubbing their eyes repeatedly, wishing to kneel on the ground and kiss the sand and dirt under their feet.

   "This, this, this, this!"

   "Fuck, it's really virtual reality!? Wait, where's the logout button, I'll look for it, don't be so **** unable to go back."

   "Haha, don't bother, find a brick and shoot your head and you will be logged out."

   "Whoa, can I take a screenshot? This is too shocking."

   "Shocked my dad for a whole year!"

   "It's so big."

   There was a lot of chatter and noise in the square, but the veteran players of Wasteland OL have long been accustomed to it, and they are no strangers to it.

  After all, when they went online for the first time, they had almost the same reaction.

   With both feet on a piece of virtual soil, the oncoming wind is extremely real. The impact on the world view and cognition cannot be described in words.

   Appearing as the manager of No. 404 Refuge, Chu Guang walked up to these newcomers with a plastic bag in his hand, signaled them to be quiet, and then handed out beginner gift packs to them one by one.

   "Here are 5 copper coins."

   "You can take it to the warehouse to rent tools, or go to the granary to buy food, and you can also trade with other players."

  Although these newcomers are noisy, they still have a lot of respect for the manager who holds the "power of life and death" in front of them.

  "Master Manager, are you really an NPC? I mean, are you really an AI? Not played by a human? Excuse me, but you look...too real!"

   "The manager is so handsome, is he in CP!"

   "NPC, how do I check the favorability? Where can I find it? Doesn't this game have a player interface?"

   "Where's my health bar? Where's the blue bar?"

   "Hey, how do you play this game, who will guide me."

   "What's the use of sending money, can you give me a novice sword?"

Hey.

  New hand sword?

  Chu Guang felt happy, but ignored it.

  Don't worry, you don't need that stuff.

   As a serious and responsible NPC, Chu Guang skillfully handed out the novice rewards without answering a single word.

   After confirming that there was nothing missing, Chu Guang then looked at Brother Dao who was standing aside, eager to fight, with his hands behind his back, and said in a business-like tone.

   "The security of the outpost is entrusted to you."

  【Keep people under the sword】Clasped fists with both hands excitedly.

   "Obey! Manager!"

   Before these little buddies had time to kneel down and kiss the soil at their feet, they were dragged outside by the passionate old foreman to dig trenches.

  I believe that after the trenches are dug, and looking at the fruits of their labor, they should have a deeper understanding of the game.

rest assured.

  The other players came here as well.

  Looking at these little players marching towards the north gate, Chu Guang suddenly remembered an RTS game he played a long time ago.

  Its translation is called King Power Fantasy, because it is too unpopular, and the sequel is hip-stretching, it is estimated that many people have never heard of it.

  The gameplay of this game is very interesting. Unlike mainstream RTS games that emphasize micromanagement, players who rule the kingdom cannot "directly control every unit".

What does that mean?

   To put it simply, if a monster appears in your territory, you cannot use micromanagement to command heroes of various professions in the kingdom to kill him, but you can place a reward on that monster and sprinkle a handful of gold coins.

  Heroes will naturally form a team to crusade, and the hero who kills the monster will gain experience and gold coins. With the money rewarded by the mission, they will go to the tavern in the kingdom to spend, buy weapons and supplies in the item store, or learn skills and magic.

   If it is a monster that cannot be dealt with, the heroes will also fear and run away... unless you increase the bounty of the monster. Driven by sufficient interests, even if the opponent is a giant dragon, adventurers armed with scrap metal will bravely charge.

  Chu Guang sometimes feels that what he is doing is actually the same thing.

  Although there is no way to mark a blood bar on the top of the looters, you can sprinkle a handful of silver coins on top of their heads.

  The warehouse of the outpost is surrounded by a group of "veteran players" above LV2.

  Since most of the quests are related to material collection, this place has almost become a customary quest release point.

   "Damn it! A looter pays 20 silver and 200 tribute?! And can it be superimposed with the original 5 silver captive reward?"

   "The extra rewards of the ten commanders are doubled!"

   "Who knows how many people there are in the Bloody Hand clan??? Wait online, I'm in a hurry!"

"Brother Meng, the opportunity to get rich overnight is here! Whether you rush or not, I will rush anyway! Is there any team? My strength, lack of perception and agility, let's go hand in hand to fight guerrillas! The proceeds are shared by everyone !"

   "I still lack 1,000 points to contribute to the citizens. It takes a week for the liver, and 5 captives are enough? Fuck, this reward is fine! Does it count as long as you keep your breath?"

   "It doesn't matter if you are out of breath! 10 silver coins! I have to move bricks for a day."

  The players who saw the rewards went crazy, and even once suspected that the manager had marked the reward of the task wrongly.

   Unbeknownst to them, however, an "NPC" did this on purpose.

   Regardless of the large number of rewards offered, this task cannot be done by one person at all. Three-person and four-person groups are standard configurations, and it is reasonable to distribute the rewards to everyone.

  According to the information, the Bloody Hand clan has about sixty or seventy members, counting several ten husbands, it is no problem to control the budget within 2,000 silver coins.

   Besides, it doesn't matter if it exceeds the budget.

   Can it be a bad thing for a player to have money?

   Obviously not!

  What in this shelter is not your own?

  The forty young men who just came in are enough to fill the vacancies in basic labor positions in the outpost.

  And those old players who have a deeper understanding of the game can use the money to buy guns and land, stimulate domestic demand, and develop new gameplay.

  Chu Guang feels that the person who designed this model may be more genius than the first-generation managers who "packaged this world into a game".

   Simply perfect!

  At this time, someone finally noticed the requirement for levels under the task book.

   "Damn! Missions still have level requirements? Why do I only have LV1?"

   "Strength is used to cut trees, perception, agility to find a teammate... Wait, this seems to only say that LV2 is required to accept the task, and there is no limit for LV2 to team up with people of other levels?"

   "Boss! Take me!"

   "What sequence do you have?"

   "Intelligence!"

"roll."

   "Damn!"

  The new warehouse manager Luca sat on the chair in front of the door, guarding the ledger on the wooden table, and turned a deaf ear to the chattering noise in front of the door.

  Yesterday evening, the new owner explained the work content to him.

Starting today, he no longer needs to do farm work, he just needs to move the things brought by these residents in blue coats into the warehouse, use a few symbols that are not too difficult to record in the ledger, and then send them "remuneration" .

   That is a very strange metal coin.

  Luka doesn't understand the value of this thing, and has never heard of any survivor settlement using this kind of thing for trade.

  However, after receiving these coins, these blue coats felt like treasures, presumably it should be something very important to them.

  Luka didn't want to think about these issues.

   Years of experience told him that knowing too much may not be a good thing.

  Seeing Chu Guang walking towards this side, he immediately stood up tremblingly, clenched his right fist on his left chest, and saluted respectfully.

   "My lord, what are your orders?"

   Ignoring the curious players around him, Chu Guang put the wooden basket in his hand on the table.

   "I have a few things here. You can sell them for me. It's still the old rule I told you. When someone comes to buy it, you just ask him to pay the price on the label."

  Chu Guang used all the 6 reward points harvested yesterday to remove the blind box, but maybe it was because of his character that he used them last time, so he opened 6 lollipops this time.

   Fortunately, two of them have attribute bonuses, which is not too bad.

  Chu Guang thought that the drawers were almost too big to fit, so he grabbed two and brought them to the warehouse.

  Each lollipop is priced at 1 silver coin, and the price of the lollipop with buff is doubled.

   Such an expensive price may not be bought by anyone, but after all, it is still stored. It is better to use it to decorate the shelves of the store.

   "Good sir."

  Old Luca put the things in the wooden basket on the shelf beside him, and then pasted a label written by Chu Guang.

   At this time, Chu Guang suddenly remembered something and asked.

   "By the way, is there sugarcane in the crops produced by Brown Farm?"

   "Sugar cane?" Old Luca looked blank, as if he had never heard of it.

   Chu Guang explained.

   “A crop that produces sugar.”

   Hearing Tang, old Luca finally understood and replied.

"My lord, I have been on Brown's farm for twenty years, and I have never heard of a crop called sugar cane... But I do know a little about sugar you are talking about. There is a crop called red beet on the farm, which is very easy to pull out from the ground. Like radish, it can squeeze out red sugar juice, and after boiling, some small particles can be fished out from the bottom, which should be the sugar you mentioned."

   Grow beets for sugar?

   Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully.

   "Is that thing easy to sell?"

   "Whether it's good to sell... I don't know, but no matter whether it is a merchant from the south or the north, they will buy a little, but not too much. I heard that it is not as valuable as salt."

   Where sugar is produced, sugar is of course less valuable than salt.

   In the wasteland, the cost of transporting a commodity may even be much higher than the cost of producing it, which is not news.

   But sugar is a good thing.

   This thing can not only be eaten, but also used to make wine, and even be used as a weapon.

   In the coming spring, we must find a way to get some seeds.

  Chu Guang immediately thought of Boulder City.

  There is the most likely place to buy what you need in the vicinity.

   "My lord, do you have any other orders?"

   "No more, keep working on your work."

   "Yes, my lord."

  Old Luca watched Chu Guang leave before returning to his chair and sitting down.

   At this time, many players became interested in the new products on the shelves and surrounded them one after another.

  Luka was very nervous, afraid that someone would steal it.

  However, these players are of high quality, and they are just discussing excitedly around the side, but no one reaches out to touch them.

   "Can this lollipop add attributes?! Is it true?!"

   "The chocolate flavor increases the strength attribute by 10%... the duration is 10 hours. Fuck, if this is a strength player, I will be very upset."

   "Strawberry flavor is perception, and apple flavor is intelligence... At present, these three kinds of lollipops are twice as expensive as other lollipops!"

   "What? It's only twice as expensive, so it's not a **** profit if you buy it! Here, here are two silver coins, old man, I'll take one!"

   "I'll have one too!"

   "Damn! Why is there only one with more intelligence left! Forget it, buy it and give it to Fujiteng."

   After a while, the only three lollipops with added attributes on the shelf were snapped up, leaving only twelve lollipops without attributes added.

   "...It actually sold?"

   Staring at the six silver coins on the table, old Luca muttered softly.

  He couldn't read it, but he was shocked.
