This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 221: New Year

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!

North entrance.

Under the spacious shed, there is a long table. Next to the table are two braziers, with charcoal fire burning brightly inside.

Chu Guang, wearing blue power armor, stood in the shed, looking at the young players busy at the market, with a fatherly smile on his face.

Not bad.

Draw a cake and let the players bake it themselves. Sure enough, this is what planning should do.

Originally Chu Guang thought that holding this celebration would consume a lot of inventory, but now it seems that his worries were completely unnecessary.

Those young players obviously read his event copy several times, and even dug out the things he wanted to express but was too embarrassed to write in the copy from the perspective of the game background.

Wasteland gourmet.

Of course we have to use some "authentic" food from the wasteland.

How dare you say that the food you cook is the "purest wasteland"?

Crispy cricket meat, deep-fried mutated cockroach legs, leeches jumping around in the pot, and glowing blood-sucking worm steaks, all put together!

Of course, Chu Guang would not eat it himself.

He doesn’t have N lives.

It is better to eat something healthy and hygienic.

There are three prizes in the competition.

One is the food in the minds of wastelanders, the other is the food in the minds of players, and the other is the approval from the managers.

The selection criteria for the three awards are different, and the judges are also different, but the rewards are generally the same.

That is, huge activity points!

Limited title!

As well as entering the Hall of Fame and shining in the forum!

Similar to previous events, you can earn points by completing tasks during the event, and the points can be used to redeem event-limited rewards and New Year red envelopes - in fact, it is a lottery with a different name.

Prizes include but are not limited to the first prize of 666 silver coins, and the special prize - a carbon nano bulletproof vest worth 6666 silver coins.

This thing has never been put on the shelves in the NPC store. The price was randomly marked by Chu Guang. Anyway, no one would refute it even if he added a zero estimate.

In addition to the lottery, what interests players the most is of course the limited title and the opportunity to enter the Hall of Fame.

And according to the manager himself, if he wins the title of "Wasteland Gourmet", the dishes he designs will be included in the menu of this year's New Year's party.

For professional players, this temptation is too great.

In order to compete for this title, the condiments except salt in the warehouse were almost sold out.

So much so that Chu Guang had to temporarily adjust his activity strategy, temporarily removing the seasonings from the warehouse shelves and instead collecting them after completing the task.

It is precisely because of this that the progress of completing daily tasks in the past few days has been quite gratifying, and he, the manager, has also received many reward points from the system.

In order to meet the cooking needs of players, Chu Guang spent almost all his points on primary blind boxes these days, and for this purpose he also obtained a lot of seeds of high-yielding crops.

This can be considered an unexpected gain.

Looking at the wooden cards on the table, Xia Yan looked at Chu Guang in confusion and asked.

"What is a judge?"

She had never heard such a strange word.

Chu Guang thought for a moment and explained.

"To put it simply, if you walk around the north entrance and think that the food looks good, take one back. If it tastes good, just give it a thumbs up."

Of course, you have to give it to Crow Crow before eating it.

As a perception player, her talent is poison intuition, and she can tell what is inedible at a glance.

In addition, her physical attributes are not high, so if she eats something that is okay, others can basically eat it.

Crow Crow is very happy to be a "taster".

Chu Guang still remembers how the little player patted his chest and promised himself that he would do his best to maintain the order of the celebration, and asked himself to give her this "glorious and arduous" task.

"Oh, that's it." Xia Yan nodded in confusion.

To sum it up, just take whatever you like when you see it?

Eat and drink for free without spending money?

This is so cool! ?

Xiaoyu, who was sitting behind the long table, looked a little embarrassed.

She secretly glanced at Brother Chu and said in a small voice.

"But... is it really okay if I don't give you money?"

To be honest, this question is a bit redundant.

What do judges pay for food?

It’s generous enough to not charge an entry fee!

Not to mention the point rewards for participating. Even the lowest consolation prize is definitely enough to pay for the meal.

Chu Guang originally planned to say this, but when he saw the regretful expression on Xiaoyu's face, he changed his words.

You can just do the dog planning by yourself.

Don't teach the children badly.

"This is part of the celebration, and the expenses of the event will be borne by the shelter... You can understand that the money has actually been paid."

He paused for a moment.

Looking at the confused Xiaoyu, Chu Guang smiled gently and continued.

“Remember to say thank you to them before tasting.”

"They will be happy all day long."

Boss Xia, who was standing aside with his arms folded, nodded in understanding.

Got it.

It turns out you don’t eat and drink for free.

It’s public money for food and drink.

……

The food competition to welcome the New Year is in full swing. In order to get the limited title, both professional players in life and professional players in combat are trying their best.

The event lasted until the last day of December.

This day is a rare sunny day.

The howling north wind and blizzard are at their end, and the harsh winter seems to have come to an end.

Everything indicates that dawn is coming and victory is just around the corner!

In order to welcome the upcoming Wasteland Era 212, the outpost was filled with lights and colorful decorations, making it very lively.

The doorways of many houses have been pasted with red paper and hung with bright red strips of cloth and ribbons.

In order to make the festival atmosphere stronger, Chu Guang also issued a special task and asked the carpenter's hut to make more than 40 lanterns, which were hung from the square in front of the sanatorium to the market at the north entrance.

At dusk.

More than forty lanterns were lit.

The hazy light, reflecting the blazing torches, made the entire outpost lively and even more festive.

Chu Guang discovered that his little players were simply geniuses.

In just one week, despite the lack of supplies, his little players surprisingly unlocked hundreds of recipes.

There were some extremely creative ideas that even he couldn't help but marvel at.

For example, Teng Teng.

It is said that she gained experience from nomads. With the help of Qiucao and Qiuye sisters, she boiled shellac from the pupae of devil moths and made something similar to "soil bamboo shoot jelly".

The thing was crystal clear, white, soft, and tasted like jelly. No one would think of a devil moth unless they mentioned it on purpose.

Without any suspense, this delicacy won the award for "The Most Popular Wasteland Food among Players".

After all, compared to Lao Na’s salt-and-pepper charcoal-grilled mantis legs and some “realistic delicacies” that have nothing to do with the wasteland, this dish cleverly finds a balance between the two.

And the taste and texture are quite good, and it is of the "orderly neutral" kind.

The only pity is that there is no chili sauce, otherwise it would be more delicious.

However, not everyone is satisfied with the results.

Especially for those who "almost" won the game...

"Gan! Why am I not the gourmet foodie of the wasteland! It's obviously so delicious!"

"Yes!"

"That's too much!"

The award judging session ended as early as noon, and now it is celebration time.

The unyielding Mole, Elf King Fugui and Lao Na grilled all the unfinished mantis legs in the canyon, trying to prove themselves with their taste.

However, unfortunately, the stall of the three people was sparsely populated, and no one visited it at all.

Even after confirming that it was not poisonous, Crow Crow still shook his head like a rattle.

"Sorry, I'm not feeling well, I really can't accept this kind of food!"

Miss Tengteng, who was kind-hearted and beautiful, took a closer look and wanted to buy something to comfort them, but when she was about to pay, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Speaking of which...are there really no iron worms?"

Hearing these words, Brother Mole suddenly felt as if a pinch of salt had been sprinkled on the wound, and said with a look of sorrow and indignation.

"How can there be so many iron worms! Not all praying mantises have iron worms!"

Elf King Fugui: "That's right! They all exploded like this! And aren't they poisonous?"

Irena: "Gan! Do you know how hard it is to find these things in the winter!"

"Sorry, sorry, I, I, I won't ask anymore..." Teng Teng hurriedly took out the VM. Although she didn't know why she had to apologize, she paid for it anyway.

I couldn’t stand watching anymore, Ye Shi walked over, patted Irena on the shoulder, and sighed.

"Forget it, Lao Na, let's give up and stop struggling."

Irena said sadly and angrily: "Ni Zuokai! I won't go offline until we sell out!"

Ye Shi silently let go of his hand.

Good guy.

Turns out I was ready to stay up all night...

……

The food award most recognized by players was won by Teng Teng in one fell swoop.

The delicacy recognized by many NPCs including Boss Xia, Xiaoyu, Yin Fang, Heya, guards and warehouse managers is the "Mushroom Cloud Cake" made by Crow Crow.

As a food taster, she also participated in this competition.

Use the eggs bought from the Frostspear clan and mix them with sugar to beat the egg whites. Crow Crow skillfully used the egg whites with a piping bag with a round mouth to make small mushroom caps, and sprinkled chocolate chips around them.

The whole cake looks like a mushroom cloud, and the chocolate chips around it form a nuclear crater. If you really want to say it, it can barely be regarded as a wasteland-style food.

But to be honest, in Chu Guang's opinion, this was completely a trick.

Chocolate, sugar and eggs were all bought, and they were far from cheap.

Although Chu Guang repeatedly emphasized that what he wanted was cheap and delicious food, the NPCs were all conquered by the taste of chocolate and had no interest in those wasteland-style foods.

Looking at Xiaoyu with shining eyes, Chu Guang couldn't bear to vote down, so he didn't say anything.

Fortunately, he also expected that the voting results would be biased, so he set up a third award - "The food most recognized by managers."

This award was presented by him personally.

The food that won this award was the Cow Horse Team’s “Split Claw Crab Cake.”

Add 450g green wheat flour to 400g split-claw crab meat, mix with 10g salt and a little buffalo grass powder and squeeze the juice of white berries to get a full kilogram of cracked-claw crab meat mince.

The meat patties made from this kind of minced meat do not have the oxalic taste of green wheat, but retain the flavor of crab meat. There is no doubt that it is delicious.

Large in quantity and easy to store, Chu Guang awarded the award to its inventor without saying a word.

Since it is a group work, except for the name of Chef Tomato Scrambled Eggs, which will be displayed on the first-level page of the Hall of Fame, the list of other collaborators will be included in the second-level sub-page.

I don’t have any objections to these collaborators, after all, their names have long been in the Hall of Fame.

Giving this rare opportunity to Brother Scrambled Egg was originally a decision they made after their own discussion.

Stand at the north entrance of the base.

Chu Guang, wearing power armor, announced the final result of the competition in a loud voice, and then raised his wine glass to the crowd in the celebration.

"Enjoy the last day of the New Year!"

"Let us drink to the harvest in the coming year!"

There was a lot I wanted to say.

But looking at the young players with excited faces, Chu Guang suddenly felt that long speeches seemed a bit redundant at this time.

Leave your time to them.

Just quietly be a handsome NPC.

As the words fell, the market at the north entrance burst into cheers, and wooden wine glasses were raised high.

"Ouch!"

“The planner is awesome!”

“Woo woo woo, I finally don’t have to eat takeout alone on New Year’s Day this year!”

"Brothers who don't exist, they still have to eat even if they take off their helmets."

"Okay, stop talking, I'm going to shed tears again."

There are about 500 players who choose to celebrate the festival in the game, and basically all of them are here.

As for the other 300 players, they are either busy in real life or spending time with their families. They will probably come back after noon tomorrow.

In addition to the players, the faces of the NPCs who came to participate in the celebration were also filled with happiness and joy.

It turns out that celebrations are such a happy thing.

It turns out that festivals are such a thing!

Life seems to have new hope. Even if they are not aware of it, a sense of cultural identity is gradually taking shape in their hearts.

Chu Guang took out the last few barrels of red wine in the inventory and gave everyone a small glass.

Although everything was divided, Chu Guang didn't feel bad.

First of all, he has decided to drink less in this life, and he will not drink if he can.

Besides, he snatched this wine from Old Leech’s wine cellar anyway, so it doesn’t matter if he drinks it all.

There will be new ones next year.

"Cheers! Burp——"

Boss Xia excitedly raised his wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, and ran over to Chu Guang with a blushing face and asked if Chu Guang had any more. He perfectly explained what it means to eat food and drink at the same time.

Sitting next to the brazier, Xiaoyu sipped milk and glanced at Xia Yan worriedly, fearing that she would drink him up and pass out like last time.

Yin Fang stared at the wine glass for a while, smelled it, drank it with a frown, and then returned to the shelter muttering to continue his research.

Hea arrived. After finishing the drink, her expression did not change at all. She stood there and looked at the lively players and wastelanders with interest.

For her, who grew up in a shelter, everything here is so fascinating.

Whether it's DNA or culture.

After giving his cup to Boss Xia, Chu Guang glanced at the empty cup in her hand with a slightly surprised expression.

"I didn't expect you to have such a good drinking capacity."

Heya didn’t feel there was anything difficult to understand and said it matter of course.

"After all, my liver, stomach and... are all bionic organs. They can be selectively absorbed or not absorbed at all."

Chu Guang: "..."

Okay.

What a waste.

It’s not just the outpost that celebrates the New Year. After Chu Guang announced the start of the celebration, he released a mission through VM, selected a few small players, and went to the temporary shelter located in the abandoned department store to provide relief services to the refugees there. A New Year's greeting.

Not much.

About 300 kilograms of crab cakes.

Although each person can only get a small piece of 200g crab cake, it is still split-claw crab meat.

I believe this New Year’s gift from Vault 404 should bring them a little warmth.

……

“Damn it, why can’t stewed catfish soup with bear paws work!”

The celebration has entered the second half. Watching a pot of dark fish soup that is almost cold, Tai squats on the ground in deep shock and draws circles on the snow with branches.

Si Si comforted her and said.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the dish itself. There's probably something wrong with the cooking method... By the way, why is the soup black when stewed? I remember it wasn't white before?"

"Please don't worry about these details."

"No... I think it's better to find out more clearly."

Irena, who ate all the roasted mantis legs when no one was looking and pretended that everything was sold out, happened to wander here.

Seeing the dark dish stuffed with bear paws and fish heads in the pot, he couldn't help but gloated and joked.

"Did you stew the meat?"

Tail gave him a dissatisfied look.

"How is that possible! Rourou can talk!"

And that’s her mount!

It took a lot of effort to tame it.

Sisi, who was accompanying Tails, sighed and said helplessly.

"It's not Rourou's hand, but it has something to do with Rourou. In short, the tail used Rourou as bait to lure the hibernating brown bear out of the hole. Emmm... the situation at that time was a bit... Chaos, I won’t describe it.”

Irena scratched the back of her head: "Well, I'm curious about the details, but shouldn't I ask more?"

The players who heard this all cast sympathetic glances at Rourou. Only Rourou looked like he was about to cry.

"Wait a minute, please make it clear. Everyone has obviously misunderstood!"

Ignoring the noise of his teammates, Tails was still mumbling there.

“Damn it, it tastes good!”

Sisi patted her shoulder.

"Okay, okay, don't be sad...ah, it seems that there is a mission, and it seems to be a hidden mission. Do you want to come with us?"

As soon as he heard that it was a hidden mission, Tai Wei immediately stood up and said with shining eyes.

"Yes!"

Sisi's face showed an old fatherly smile.

This kid is so sweet.
