This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 765: Unexpectedness is the normal state of life
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
House: "Sinking in dreams, perishing in madness... This is probably the most realistic portrayal of the survivors of Dawn City. A fish-selling company was sold to 25 billion silver coins by them, and the entire alliance combined had no money. This much money is much more expensive than the S coins used to destroy Boulder City!"
"It can be seen that they have not learned the painful lessons of Boulder City at all. Instead, they treat garbage as treasure and hold it in their hands, while the real treasure is treated as garbage and discarded like worn-out shoes."
"The greatness of Boulder City was not because of the chips, but because of the hard-working workers! But the alliance paid those guys... Well, I mean if people have income without working, which fool would still do it? Work? They are using the wrong method to corrupt this group of hard-working people into slackers and drunkards!"
"Let me put my words here. Sooner or later, the alliance will collapse one day. Those who have silver coins in their pockets will regret it in the end. It will be a matter of time!"
Moderator (applause): "So Mr. House, what do you think is the right thing to do?"
House: "Mr. Sigma is quite good. Although Firestone Group has taken over the most profitable industry in Bugla, that gentleman will not be stupid enough to pay dividends to shareholders... Of course, I mean this is a good thing. , Firestone Group has quietly moistened the pockets of everyone in Bugla, giving back to the entire settlement, rather than enriching the wallets of a handful of shareholders. The loss-making financial report is the best proof that they have always been We are losing money, but we have been operating conscientiously! Unlike managers who win people's hearts, Mr. Sigma is an unknown philanthropist and a truly good person!"
Host (sound of drinking water): "I also think Mr. Sigma did the right thing, but you can't evaluate that gentleman... Okay, that's the end of our interview. Today's topic is Baiyue Company, please ask the next interviewee..."
Soft music played on the radio at the bar, and the host interviewed the next victim of the Boulder City bankruptcy.
The recent events in Dawn City have stung the residents of Bugla. They need to give these children with heart and liver injuries some mental massage to lower their blood pressure.
After all, the Alliance and Bugela are too close. Heaven and Hell are actually in the same province, and there are frequent business contacts between them. It is inevitable that some gossip will be brought about.
This is true for each other.
Just like now, this broadcast can be heard on the radio in Boulder City.
The residents of Boulder City are all too familiar with that distinctive drake voice.
"Sometimes I don't quite understand...Did this guy really listen to what he said seriously?" The middle-aged man sitting at the dining table eating breakfast made a helpless expression.
It was his suggestion to see how Mr. House was doing, but now he regretted changing the channel.
Listening to that guy's dog barking is better than listening to the battle report from the front line. Although the latter is a bit boring, it is not that boring at least.
The waiter who came over with the dinner plate shrugged his shoulders and placed a palm-sized piece of barbecue ribs on the table.
"I don't know, but we seem to be having another meltdown, since it's morning now."
"Hahahaha."
The waiter made everyone laugh. The workers who were dining laughed heartily, and several of them almost choked.
This is the Walnut Tavern near the Industrial Zone of Boulder City. The old signboard looks like it has some signs of age.
Workers who worked in the cannery used to come here to smoke cigarette butts and drink low-quality wine mixed with water, but now they are used to ordering a beef rib for 3 silver coins before going to work so that they can have enough energy to prepare for the morning at eight o'clock in the morning. Stay in top shape until noon.
After all, there are only a minority of drunkards who get drunk early in the morning. Most people still need to be decent, especially after they have savings and families.
It was only after they had everything that they realized that the so-called quality, elegance, decency and other messy things were not the patent of the nobility at all, but were woven by those who got something for nothing to suppress them mentally. a series of lies.
They themselves can see it most clearly. After their lives get better, they know more about integrity and etiquette than the old nobles.
At least they will not use money to humiliate their compatriots, nor will they ask for privileges that are above the dignity of others.
Although the mainstream media in the Bugra Free State are accustomed to calling what happened in Boulder City the "Boulder City Bankruptcy," the residents of Boulder City themselves prefer to call it the "Boulder City Revolution."
For example, House, who was invited to complain on the radio at this moment, is a "victim" of that change.
Looking at the workers who were laughing at House, only one person showed a slightly sympathetic look.
When Joey and Lovett led people to occupy the radio station, he was among them. When he let House go, he clearly saw the expression on that guy's face.
"I actually don't hate him. That guy is also a pathetic person, and he is even more pathetic now. We were all hamsters in a cage. We finally broke free of the cage and were able to run outside the rollers. But he panicked and got into the new cage before dawn...I have to admit, we really scared him at the time."
The studio was just another kind of assembly line, and the superior host obviously didn't respect House very much, and it was even less likely that Sigma was praised by him.
The people sitting at the table looked at each other.
"I can't agree with you, at least in my opinion, that guy doesn't deserve sympathy. He never said a good word for us, and he didn't say he was forced until the end. And now, he was also lying at the time , this guy has never reflected."
"That's right, if he really felt that he was wrong, he wouldn't have escaped from here. Isn't there a saying that a liar is not actually afraid of his lies being exposed? What he is afraid of is that someone will remember that he lied. And everyone here remembers it."
This statement has been recognized by many people, but not all.
"...But because of this, I think it is understandable that he escaped. We have made laws, but there are too many people who hate him. Even if we don't persecute him systematically, we can't stop our emotions. The friend who lost control threw bottles at him and even shot him in the back of the head."
The noisy debate continued until the time bell rang. A group of workers threw away their cups and plates and walked toward their workplace.
In the past, they had to arrive at the cannery on time when the bell rang, but the workers would say that "workers don't have watches, and they only know the time when they leave home when they hear the bell" and "you can be energetic only when you are full." On the grounds of "work", the factory is required to either provide free working meals or allow workers 20 minutes of commuting time.
Although the reason sounds a bit absurd, "the lesser of two evils", the Industrial Owners Association finally chose the latter, giving the workers twenty minutes in exchange for not affecting the production plan and not drinking before work. Paid Commute” time.
For factories, just getting these drunkards to drink less can already increase production capacity a lot.
As for those workers, even if it is to maintain the dignity they have finally won, they will be a little more serious when working.
However, what no one expected was that the biggest beneficiaries of the bargaining between the Workers’ Association and the Industrial Owners Association were the breakfast shop owners and food cart vendors around the industrial area, so much so that some pubs that were closed in the morning even became It has become open 18 hours or even 24 hours.
Longer business hours mean that more employees are needed, otherwise expensive overtime wages have to be paid. Therefore, even Boulder City, which has the least shortage of people, is experiencing a labor shortage.
Fortunately, the survivors who continue to pour into the giant wall have filled this gap, especially immigrants from Borneo and the central provinces. Most people will start by washing dishes.
However, that doesn't mean everything.
For example, Niyang is a special case.
While most people were washing dishes and getting their ID cards, he immediately came up with the idea of paid work, hiring citizens of the Union to be his boss.
It's more than that.
While the stupid wolf guard was still thinking of ways to make the Duke happy, he had already come up with a brilliant idea - to open a newspaper of his own to write about things that Duke Galava liked to read.
This was actually very easy. He didn't even need to use up his brain cells to think about it, because House had already thought about it for him. He just had to hold his nose and copy the nonsense that guy said in the studio onto paper, and then Just add some seasoning and serve it to Duke Jarava's table.
The name of this newspaper is "Shuguang Garden Street News". Shuguang naturally refers to Shuguang City, and Huayuan Street Subway Station is the historical place name of Qingquan City.
No one will know that this newspaper is just a sleazy little newspaper, because this newspaper will not be distributed to the public at all.
This is actually a small loophole in the alliance's laws, just like when he first obtained his identity.
Only publicly distributed newspapers need to be certified by industry committees, and the readers of the newspaper he runs are only the Duke of Galawa and the staff of the Xilan Imperial Embassy, and it is published in the name of office supplies, even [ There is no need to add the logo of "Entertainment News".
In fact, "Shuguang Garden News" is not registered in the name of a newspaper at all. The business categories are office supplies and baby products.
It's just called the newspaper office.
Of course, due to the Shuguang City authorities' ruthless suppression of honest people who dare to tell the truth, the survival of "Shuguang Garden Newspaper" is in danger, and it needs the sponsorship of well-wishers to continue telling the truth.
Nyan asked the editor in charge of typesetting to not only sell the newspaper badly, but also leave the bank card number for receiving donations on the last page of the newspaper.
As expected, his newspaper received "anonymous donations" one after another.
The signatures of these donations are sometimes "the supreme giant of White Elephant City", sometimes "the kind and caring elephant poet", and "the boatman who fights for equality on the eternal river", but Niyang is better than Everyone knows that these vests are actually the same person.
After all, there is only one person in the entire Xilan Empire Embassy who can read "Dawn Garden News" from beginning to end.
What's more, every time he went to the bank to make a payment, he went there on behalf of Duke Galawa.
If it weren't for the bank's receipt, he would have skipped the step of sending money.
Occasionally, Duke Jarawa would be so excited by the newspapers that he would be asked to make a telegram of the imminent collapse of the alliance and send it to Tiandu in Borneo, so that he could share the simple joy with the respected Lord Wutuo. .
However, neither Duke Galawa nor His Majesty knew that the entire newspaper was run by his loyal servant from beginning to end.
"You are playing with fire, my boss... Dawn City is not Boulder City. People here will not tolerate anyone making fun of their respected administrators. Even the most outrageous Goblin Observer will not make fun of living people. God." Looking at the increasingly outrageous content in the newspaper, the editor in charge of typesetting shook his head and looked at the man standing by the blinds and said.
He is a recent immigrant. He has not experienced anything in the past. He has not even obtained an ID card yet. His feelings for managers are not as fanatical as those of ordinary people. They only have ordinary respect.
After all, after seeing Sigma's hypocrisy, he realized how good a leader is who truly cares for his subordinates.
But the guys in Dawn City don't think so. Their feelings for the administrator are the same as the residents of Luoxia Province feel for the "Sand Sea Spirit".
Ni Yang did not look back, but looked through the gap in the blinds in the direction of Embassy Street not far away, and said in a very soft voice.
"No one understands the league better than me, and no one understands managers better than me... I am his true fan. As long as we don't foul, nothing will happen."
The editor said with a wry smile.
"You must have never heard of the Hindison case."
He had heard of it before coming to the Alliance. After all, the TV stations in the Bugla Free State often made a fuss about this matter to ridicule the freedom situation of the Alliance.
Ni Yang continued slowly.
"Of course I have heard of it. I even watched the verdict in court and studied the file carefully. But you, who probably only know the name Hindison, think that you have seen through the entire alliance. In fact, you Just like the guys in your hometown of Bugla Free State, they lost their sense of taste after drinking too much sewage, and they can’t live without simple definitions and labels.”
The editor was obviously not convinced, but because he was the boss, he suppressed his temper and asked.
"Isn't it true? He asked the Guards to arrest the guy."
Ni Yang looked back at him and said with a smile.
"Then what do you think would have happened to the guy named Hindison if he hadn't done this? This is a wasteland. The law can punish people who make mistakes, but it can't resurrect the dead. I bet you won't It was said that he was on the train home, but if the Guards Corps had not arrived in time, he would not have even been able to walk out of the hotel alive."
The editor laughed and said: "According to what you say, can he still protect that guy?"
Ni Yang said with a smile.
"Protect that guy? Haha, as expected, I am the only one who truly understands that gentleman... What he protects is neither Hindison nor the guys who are heckled in his name, but the order of the alliance."
In fact, it was also the Hindison case that the citizens of the Alliance burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm, spontaneously participated in the affairs of the Congress, and improved a series of legal designations, such as methods to regulate the newspaper industry, etc. .
Unlike the emperor of Xilan, and unlike Sigmar of the Free State, he guided people's fanaticism and loyalty to him to the right place.
And this is what Niyang admires most about him.
Looking at the speechless editor, Niyang continued.
"Just do as I say. That gentleman is not a stingy person. I have told you a long time ago that our job is to cheat, and I also need Duke Galawa's money, and I need him to continue. Stupid, I still have to do a lot of things besides that, not just to improve my life...but also to do a little bit of good."
In fact, after staying in Dawn City for a period of time, his mentality has undergone some changes, especially after reading "Boll the Awakener".
He will never forget those words——
"The visible Stephen can be destroyed, but the invisible Stephen cannot be destroyed. We are their ghosts, and they are our ghosts."
Those words were like enlightenment, and he suddenly realized that what he needed in Borneo Province was not the man he admired.
There is no point in getting angry at Duke Jarawa. There is more than one White Elephant City in Borneo, and there is more than one duke. What’s more, this duke also has a large number of wives and a large number of sons. He can pass the title down from generation to generation.
If you want to get rid of a nest of cockroaches, you can't just focus on one cockroach.
If I really **** him off to death, not only will the Xilan Empire not change in any way, but it will regain its glory because it has lost a fool who has nothing but blood.
This is possible. After all, there are not many guys who can attract hatred like Duke Galava. He can't make the foreign minister of the alliance slam the table in anger, but that guy can make him an ally even without acting. Captain Benoit showed a disgusted expression.
In the end, if Duke Galava dies, he will lose the only tool he can use.
So instead of angering him with "Goblin Observer", it is better to use a pacifier to coax him like a baby and let him immerse himself in the sweetness of milk and honey.
The Duke of Jarava will never know exactly where his money was spent.
He will use that money to sponsor the "Survivor Daily" in Friesport, and sponsor those Moon Tribes who escaped from Rowell Camp to write in King Gallen Port, West Sail Port, and wherever they can light up the stars. Run more "Survivor Daily" in popular places.
Not only does he provide money, but he also contributes articles to the "Daily Survivor" in Friesport, just like Mr. Sperger who wrote "Boll the Awakener".
For this reason, he specially visited Boulder City, visited those who experienced the change, and even had a chat with the white-haired Boulder City Library Director, Mr. Malvern, and watched the old man work for Boulder City. Written draft of the Chronicle.
He and the old man agreed that it was Hal's "Daily Survivor" that ignited the fire of enlightenment, and Sberg's "Boll the Awakener" united the suffering poor of Boulder City.
The beginning of change has actually begun before anyone realizes it, and it is already too late by the time Mr. Sid tries to nip it in the cradle. As for chips, S-coins, economic overheating and other series of crises, they are just the fuse that finally ignites the powder keg, speeding up the process and saving a few lives.
Without the enlightenment of that new culture, no matter how many people died that night, it would be useless. Boulder City would always remain Boulder City.
After talking to the old man, he had found a way to change the Xilan Empire.
Just when the Duke of Galawa used his identity as the "Supreme Giant of White Elephant City" to generously pour money into the Dawn Garden Newspaper and was complacent, he had already used the pen names of "Mr. Rat" and "Big Horned Rat" in French fries. Hong Kong newspapers wrote the things he hated most - "The Emperor's New Carriage" and "A Thousand "Needles".
Compared with Sberg, he has a slight advantage. Both his literary talent and knowledge are much richer than that of a cannery worker, and the most important thing is that he does not need to start with literacy.
Thank God, whether it was for the sake of the nobility or because he was too lazy to write love letters to the ladies of the nobility, Duke Jarawa hired tutors for all his servants, even a naive guy like Bablu could do it. Writing, let alone him.
Looking at the editor sitting at his desk working conscientiously, Ni Yang, who was standing in front of the blinds, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Looking at the manuscript that slandered the manager, he didn't feel any emotion in his heart, but his eyes lit up at this moment, and he suddenly had new inspiration, and he thought with a smile.
"Actually, what House said makes sense. The 'lazy' Boulder City is destined to perish, and poverty is the best way to maintain progress... Let me think about it, the next article will be called "Red Earth"."
Except for the thousand pillars of the City of Thousand Pillars, nothing can touch the deepest souls of the survivors of Borneo more than the "red earth"...
……
Since the "War in Paradise" was mainly fought by the residents of the shelter on the front line, and most of the cost of the war was borne by all parties in the Alliance, the Alliance residents far behind did not actually feel that their lives were greatly affected. Big impact.
On the contrary, because of the orders brought by the war, the factories in Dawn City and Boulder City started operating in three shifts again, just like they did during the battle of Luoxia Province.
But the difference is that today's alliance is different from the past in terms of productivity and abundance of materials.
In order to attract migrant workers to work in their factories, various factories also tried their best. Not only did they promise them free housing and insurance, but they also offered higher wages than the other.
Especially for those workers with skills and experience, those factories are eager to take care of the education of their next generation, and the treatment is more flashy than the other, which highlights the exaggeration.
As for those factories that try their best to attract no one, they can only think of ways to improve productivity or introduce foreign labor.
Some old production lines with high manual participation are slowly being phased out in favor of production lines with higher levels of electrification and automation.
Due to the controllable fusion reactor in Xizhou City, the alliance's energy cost is very cheap, and in terms of automation, experts from Camp 101 and the students trained by them help.
Coupled with the fact that Borneo is a "pond" that can accommodate backward production lines, a series of equipment such as obsolete sewing machines and pot camel machines also have a place to go.
The residents of the Alliance, especially the residents of Dawn City, have used their own diligence and wisdom to end the wasteland around them to a certain extent.
Chu Guang doesn’t have many expectations for them. He only hopes that they can continue to live a good life and influence other wastelanders in the wasteland to the best of their ability...
The front line of Haiya Province.
Today's front line is still grinding meat as usual. The only difference is probably that the newbies who have adapted to death are becoming more and more skilled at grinding meat.
The changes that happened to them were obvious.
Players who were originally only able to kill a dozen or twenty bacterial variants in one life and then rush to the streets, even if the level does not change much, the number of kills can easily reach three digits.
Attributes are only one aspect that affects combat effectiveness, and are not the only determining factor.
This is probably the most realistic part of the game.
Chu Guang, who was on the Heart of Steel, received two reports from afar.
One of the reports came from Camp 101, and the author of the report was Xiaoyu.
The report mainly describes the listing status of Baiyue Company and the opinions of the expert team at Camp 101, including current problems in the market and loopholes that need to be fixed, etc.
Chu Guang was quite satisfied with this report.
Not only because the report was written in a way that even he with only half a bucket of water in his stomach could understand it, but also because he could see the growth of the little fish between the lines of the report.
Thanks to the scholars at Camp 101, the little girl did not waste her talent for being sensitive to numbers, and she also found a career that she was passionate about.
Sure enough, it was a wise decision to let her follow Pai to Camp 101 for further study.
After all, if she were by her side, she would be able to learn a quadratic function and bulk economics even if she died.
As for the more difficult things, he himself would have to seek professional advice.
Looking at Juanxiu’s handwriting on the tablet, Chu Guang sighed with some emotion.
"Time flies so fast, and all the little fish have grown up in a blink of an eye."
Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, nodded slightly and said with her cheeks in her hands.
"Yeah...it feels like it was yesterday when you taught her arithmetic and literacy."
Chu Guang coughed lightly.
"...That won't happen."
Although he does occasionally feel as if he is in another world, this guy's insensitivity to time is a bit exaggerated.
With a flick of his index finger, Chu Guang put this report aside for the time being and read the second report.
This report comes from the Social Science Data Collection Office of the scientific expedition team, and was written by Ms. Han Mingyue, who is investigating the local cultural and customs phenomena in Jinjialun Port.
He was not very familiar with this name. He only remembered that it seemed to be the "little popsicle" discovered by the Thorn Corps in Pioneer City, and it once belonged to Vault 288.
The situation in the Great Desert is different from other areas. It has withstood the "big collapse" of the entire space elevator and even the terminal orbital space station. It is the most complex place in the wasteland, and the same is true for the shelters there.
For example, the administrator's log of Shelter 288 was lost, the door opened early, and a series of other accidents. In addition, the various situations that happened to Han Mingyue were quite similar to Heya, and the report on her life experience totaled 5 pages.
In short, something seemed to have happened somewhere he didn't know, and Ms. Han was influenced by Rama, the commander of the Thorn Corps, and became interested in the great migration of survivors that had occurred in the Borneo region.
Her job is not only to investigate what happened in the past, but also to observe the changes that are taking place in Golden Gallen Harbor.
Since they found a lot of good things in the Governor's Mansion in Jingallang Port, the scientific expedition team has always been relatively supportive of her project, and Chu Guang has always paid attention to the reports she submitted.
There is no shelter in Borneo, but there are a large number of survivors.
In a sense, her research filled in the missing manager logs for them.
[...Under the influence of Baiyue Company, the Jinjialun Port authorities used the foreign exchange reserves of Emperor Xilan to build a large number of schools and night schools for adults in the settlements, and promoted a similar program to Dawn City. The Compulsory Education Act has improved the local literacy rate to a certain extent.
Influenced by the increase in literacy rate and the citizens of the South China Sea Alliance who went to the area to support education, some novel music, paintings, and written works of art began to appear in Kingallen Port.
Local residents are not only actively pursuing a better life, but are also actively exploring new theories other than "thousands of races and thousands of gods", and are trying to criticize and decompose some outdated and feudal traditions and concepts, "gods and gods" This notion has become popular among some progressives, and this is what surprises me the most.
Normally speaking, the local conservative forces should be more entrenched than the Lion Kingdom and the Hump Kingdom, but the result is exactly the opposite of what I saw. In this "new cultural activity", "looking eastward" quickly became the unanimous consensus of the upper and lower classes, just as they had looked westward before. The conservative forces that were supposed to confront the progressive forces did not work at all, but were unexpectedly submissive. After judging that they could no longer resist, the conservatives immediately surrendered.
I think this is not due to some kind of capitulationism or xenophobia, nor is it true surrender, but more like "tolerance" integrated into the cultural attributes of local survivors.
The endurance of local survivors is something I have never seen in other settlements. Farmers in Jinchuan Province do not dare to treat their serfs like this, but they are used to it.
Not only that, their "endurance" is as deep-rooted as the "stubbornness" that is rarely expressed in their characters. It is impossible for these survivors to change themselves easily, but they are not reluctant to bow their heads and make the mistakes they have already made. The appearance of change.
Just like the old nobles who learned how to dress and eat in the Alliance, they immediately drew a clear line with the Majesty and the Governor who they once loyal to. They are extremely cooperative with your subordinates and try to be more progressive and more diligent and studious than the pro-Union faction. .
You may think this is a good thing and your people think it's irrelevant, but I have to say I think differently. That hidden power is more like pus hiding in the blood vessels disguised as blood. They are waiting for an opportunity. Once they find the opportunity, they will immediately change their identity and block the original leaky window, allowing them to It's harder for the wind to blow in.
Of course... there are two sides to everything. Even if there are a series of hidden worries, the series of innovative measures implemented by your subordinates in the local area are worthy of recognition, and the results they have achieved are obvious to all.
My research is still continuing, and there may be some omissions. I hope I am just overthinking.
】
Chu Guang read the report to the end and touched his chin. He originally wanted to reply "Sociology +3", but thinking that it was a report written by an NPC, he finally replied "Read".
His perspective on the problem is different from Fang Chang's, and certainly different from those of the Alliance's scholars.
Of course the problems she mentioned existed and he could see them, but as she herself had mentioned in her report, the local survivors were spontaneously seeking progress under the influence of the residents of Vault 404, and The advances they are exploring will not change the hidden dangers buried deep in their civilization.
It’s not that sitting and talking doesn’t hurt your back. This is a difficulty that the local survivors must overcome on their own.
Even if Han Mingyue pointed out the problem, it was too difficult for him to do anything.
His players have already done a lot, and any further step would be too much.
He believed that Fang Chang had actually noticed something.
Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, looked at him and teased him playfully.
"Master, you said before that you were not very optimistic about the practices of those players, but they seem to be doing pretty well?"
Chu Guang made a helpless expression and stretched out his index finger to turn off the report coming from behind.
"You have been following me for so long, you should know that my judgment is not always correct."
Unexpectedness is the normal state of life. Only gods are omniscient and omnipotent.
If he was really that great, why would he need so many experts and scholars?
He did all the work by himself.
And it's too early to draw conclusions now.
However, what surprised him was that his unintentional words made Xiao Qi freeze there for some reason, and the movement of shaking her calves stopped.
There was a glimmer of hope in those pupils, but it seemed like an illusion.
Looking at it stunned, Chu Guang frowned slightly and tapped its head with his index finger.
"What's wrong? Are you stuck?"
"No..." Xiao Qi looked at him as if he had come to his senses, and then smiled, "Nothing... As expected of the master, Xiao Qi's intellectual plug-in was pounding and almost burned. ”
As he spoke, it swung its calves again and looked at him with full eyes.
Chu Guang made a helpless expression.
It's okay to burn it.
I feel like this guy is talking more and more.
