This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 248: The fake Brother Guang, the real Brother Cake

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

Boulder City is huge.

Not just the facilities, but the population.

If you want to thoroughly investigate the customs and customs here, a week may not be enough.

What's more, the "new map experience card" is only valid for three days...

The evening of the second day.

Fang Chang, who was sitting next to the window, glanced at the increasingly lively streets outside the window and put away the notebook and pen in his hands.

Overall, the progress is going smoothly.

Except for the inner city, which is inaccessible, the exploration level of the outer city has reached 60%, and everything that needs to be known has been basically investigated.

Especially those that go deep into the social aspects.

This part also surprised him the most.

"Different from small survivor settlements such as Bate Street and Brown Farm, Boulder City is not only huge, but also different in composition from the 'feudal lord-style' rule of most small and medium-sized survivor settlements, and more like It is a collection of interests with intricate relationships."

"The city lord is the highest authority here and has the command of the militia, but he does not participate in specific things in the city, nor is he engaged in the management of any assets. He is only responsible for responding to waves and other threats, and collecting funds from the treasury of the city hall. Get the money."

"The residents living here have established a bureaucracy system suitable for themselves, responsible for dealing with messy things and the top priority of taxation. However, the lack of direct support from the violent machine has led to their dominance of the region. It is so weak that it even has to rely on the help of some 'big people' when solving certain problems."

"Interestingly, when I was communicating with NPCs, I accidentally discovered the easter eggs left by the production team."

"In the early days of the Wasteland Era, Boulder City was not actually called Boulder City, but 'Mansion Town'. It wasn't until they completed the construction from the first building with the help of an ancient organization called the 'Post-War Reconstruction Committee' that The building expanded into the outer city and a huge concrete wall was built to handle the waves."

"In the next century, they seemed to have lost the ability to build giant walls and stopped expanding. Instead, they opened up invisible territories through trade. It was in this way that they The southern region of River Valley Province has accumulated a lot of regional prestige, and has made 'chips' popular throughout Qingquan City, becoming a hard currency in the minds of locals... and this is also the source of the arrogance of most Boulder City residents."

"Even the wealth plundered through chips has nothing to do with them, and it has not improved their current situation at all."

"In contact with such forces, it seems to be a better choice to win over them through interests than direct war."

"However, it must be noted that this is also the area they are best at. The NPCs here are far more cunning than those in the northern suburbs."

Based on the photos I took, I should be able to write an impeccable guide.

Considering the professional players who have been clamoring for business and cutting NPC leeks, Fang Chang also calculated the transaction prices of several major commodities at the trading station.

And organized it into a table!

Thinking of the players on the forum who were waiting for food, Fang Chang couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

Is this what a boss feels like?

That's great.

When he was developing other games in the past, he wrote a lot of guides, and the guides written by several vests were quite popular.

But the sense of accomplishment he got from those games, even if they were all added up, was not as good as the one he was playing now.

Just when Fang Chang put away his notebook and was about to go offline to rest in the next room, Liszt's apprentice walked over.

"The engineers and equipment are ready. We have hired mercenaries who will be responsible for transporting us safely to your outpost."

"Leave early tomorrow morning."

Walking to the table, Qian Lai sat down opposite Xu Shun, smiled and continued.

"This is our last night in Boulder. Aren't you going to hang out? I know a good place to drink. The beer there is good and very cheap."

Xu Shun shook his head and said.

"Thank you, no need."

"I still have a mission."

From the moment he left the house, Xu Shun kept the manager's instructions in mind and kept every word in his heart. Desertion could happen to anyone, but it could not happen to him.

Seeing that Xu Shun declined his invitation, Qian Lai said nothing more.

He has experienced the stubbornness of these guys.

Last night he proposed to go out and have some fun to celebrate. After all, all the things that should be done were done, but this guy refused without saying a word.

Not to mention the guy sitting by the window before.

Cannot communicate at all.

Although this wasn't the first time he'd dealt with the Blue Jackets, it was definitely the strangest.

……

The next night.

Chu Guang saw the full version of the "Boulder City Market Research Report" published by Fang Chang on the forum.

He deserves to be the best understanding king in the entire server. Brother Fang’s understanding of the version has never let him down.

It's the same this time.

Fang Chang used the style of a travelogue to describe in detail what his group saw and heard in Boulder City, as well as the conditions of various industries analyzed through various clues.

Since we are back within the communication range, the post is also accompanied by a large number of high-definition pictures.

Not only did the players enjoy watching it, but the cloud players also said it was awesome.

Professor Yang, King of Thunder: "Holy shit! Is this a real game screen?"

What does Ye Ao do to me: "Haha, you are bragging and don't make a draft!"

Keep your voice down and I'll blow it up: "Awesome, awesome! If the finished product is half as good as this, I'll be blown away!"

Fang Chang: "... I will update the Boulder City transaction price reference table on the forum for your reference, but that is for reference only!"

"The trade system of "Wasteland OL" is indeed very detailed. Bargaining ability and eloquence will directly affect the transaction price. Especially for some products with scarce attributes, the impact of bargaining on the final transaction price can reach 50%. , even 100%!"

“Considering the language problem, if you don’t want to be cheated by NPCs, you can try to hire some NPCs with high charm value and high trading skill proficiency to bargain for you! This suggestion is for reference only. If you are someone who is proficient in a foreign language with a completely different cultural background and is proficient in the use of slang, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Quit smoking: "The boss is awesome!!"

Commander Quanshui: "Shocking! The price list was made before the new map was opened. This is too powerful!"

Teng Teng: "I want to open a clothing store in Boulder City! Can I hire local people to help me sell clothes? (?ω?)!"

Fang Chang: "There is a serious labor surplus there. It is definitely possible, but the spending power of ordinary people is not very good. Only rich people can afford beautiful clothes. I suggest you try making protective gear such as body armor, or strong and durable ones." Leather jacket, earn money from those mercenaries!"

Teng Teng: "Take notes, take notes! (Fenbijishu.jpg)"

Fried eggs with tomatoes: "I, I, I want to open a shop too! I can open a restaurant! I can also open a bar! (Excited)"

Aoao Sesame Paste: "I'm responsible for the delivery! Maomao Express will achieve its mission!"

Tail: "Tail is responsible for guarding! The first **** in the wasteland is here! Let Tai tail fight the monsters! ψ(｀?′)ψ"

Sisi: "Oh! I'm responsible for watching the tail."

Maka Bazi: "Don't be a fool and be responsible for making a nest! (Funny)"

Stop talking nonsense: "Get out of here!"

Crow Crow: "Wait, where are the mushrooms?! Can mushrooms be sold for money?"

Fang Chang: "Uh... I seem to have only seen people collecting blue mushrooms? The price is quite high. It is said that they are used as raw materials for making anti-radiation agents. Other varieties are rare. Maybe some pharmacies Will you accept it? I'll ask you later."

Crow Crow: "What the hell, do you have to have the kind of blue mushroom that grows in the sewer? Σ(°△°|||)︴"

Irena: "To be honest, are you scared? (Funny)"

Ye Shi: "That day, Boss Crow recalled the fear of being drowned by leeches. (Funny)"

Elf King Fugui: "Hahaha! Haha! Hahahaha! Cheat! Isn’t that what I learned? (Funny)"

Crow Crow: "The shark is killing you! (#｀Д′)ノ?"

……

It must be said that all of these players are talents.

Chu Guang looked around the forum.

I found that in just a few minutes, the topic had fast forwarded from opening a clothing store and forming a caravan to conquering the wasteland world with culture.

Conquer the wasteland with modern consumerism?

Is this the Renaissance?

emmm……

Technically speaking, we definitely can’t win.

At least in the short term, the gap between the two sides cannot be bridged by a few black boxes.

Not to mention that other people may have that kind of thing.

However, consumption is indeed their weakness, especially in terms of consumer culture.

The nobles in the inner city are keen on the products of the Ideal City and have lost touch with popular tastes in terms of enjoyment. The residents in the outer city are squeezed out by the factories. Although they are basically satisfied with their food, clothing, housing and transportation, they have no extra spending power at all.

Mercenaries, a large and mixed group, have always been ignored by caravans who focus on the external market.

Although they are also very poor, when spring comes and the trade routes are restored, many of them will make a fortune.

Just look at Boss Xia and you will know.

Most mercenaries cannot save money. Those who can save money either become mercenary leaders, evolve into caravan bosses, or engage in other businesses.

The needs of these mercenaries are not just guns and food. Not all of them will be calm-minded and invest all the money they earn in themselves.

In addition to buying ammunition and supplies, and maintaining weapons, the remaining money was either spent in casinos, or spent on cigarettes, alcohol, or women.

Chu Guang felt that he could definitely find some more pursuing ways for them to spend money.

If his little players can design some clothes, shoes, gun belts, protective gear, weapons, etc. that are not only durable and strong, but also contain "elements that mercenaries like to see", the products of Shelter 404 may not be sure. Will be popular in bars all over Boulder.

If we can establish a brand effect in the minds of mercenaries, maybe we can really gain a lot of leeks.

What is this wave called?

Selling skins!

Who said only players can buy skins?

Of course, there must be great difficulty here.

No matter how hard the residents of Boulder City live, their basic needs for food, clothing, housing and transportation can still be met. They are certainly not as miserable as the wastelanders outside the wall who have no food to eat.

The arrogance of being superior to others can be felt just by listening to their broadcasts.

"Why don't you put an Ideal City sign on the items you sold in the past?"

Chu Guang rolled his eyes and had some bad ideas in mind, but he had to wait for the caravans from the east coast to come before he could implement them.

And he felt that even if he didn't end up, the players would definitely be able to think of it given their intelligence.

"These are all matters of detail."

"The top priority is to build the caravan system quickly!"

Chu Guang created a new folder on the desktop and casually typed a title.

[Alpha1.01 version update: Chamber of Commerce System]

"The B4 layer unlocking task has not yet been triggered, and more players cannot be activated for the time being. The B round test will have to wait for a while."

"The version number of this update is tentatively Alpha1.01!"

After finishing.

Chu Guang took a screenshot, coded the version number, and threw it on the forum.

Guang: "It's being done, it's being done. Everyone, work hard. When the 'Forging Swords into Plowshares' expansion pack is over and the farming system test is completed, we will immediately open new maps and new game content! You guys shouted 10 times during the test. version of running business system!"

Almost as soon as the post was posted, the number of replies soared to double digits, and in the blink of an eye, it reached triple digits.

Quit smoking: "Wait, why is there only one folder?"

Sisi: "Where are the things inside? Let me be healthy!"

Ye Shi: "The fake Brother Guang, the real Brother Pan. (Funny)"

Crow Crow: "Damn it, if only our warm-hearted manager brother could be half as kind as our plan! T^T"

Looking at the reply below, Chu Guang’s brows twitched.

These guys!

Does it take time to arrange NPCs who can communicate?

Do I need a save point for a two-and-a-half-day trip? Do you need to build a communication base station? Do these things use electricity?

And the most important thing is, if you all run the new map and make a fuss, who will plow the land?

Let’s not talk about sowing for now.

At least we have to finish the land reclamation work.

Do you need your managers to do things like land reclamation themselves?

Chu Guang felt that he had already hinted clearly.

"Damn it!"

"It has just been updated, why do you need me to update it again!"

Chu Guang cursed and closed the forum, drank the cup of homemade sparkling water on the table, opened the P Club game and went to watch the sea.

……

The next day.

South side of the Outpost Sanatorium.

A mature-looking man was stroking his chin, looking at the surrounding buildings, and muttering to himself.

Since he didn't have a VM on his arm, many players were curious about him but didn't pay much attention to him.

As we all know, NPCs without VM cannot receive tasks normally.

"...Since defeating the invasion of the Bone Chewing Tribe on the frontal battlefield, the morale and confidence of the survivors in the northern suburbs have reached their peak, and the prestige of the local leaders has also reached an unprecedented height. A new survivor force has emerged. is emerging, which may change the long-standing chaotic pattern of the northern suburbs."

“There is a large amount of undeveloped land and sufficient labor here. Although the infrastructure is backward and there is no supporting industry support, it is precisely because of this that there are huge business opportunities hidden in it.”

Not long after Brother Fang published his "market research" on Boulder City on the forum, Lister also completed a survey of the area under the jurisdiction of Vault 404.

But he didn't use a notebook.

Instead, I use a portable computer with a flexible screen.

This kind of gadget is very convenient. When stored, it looks like a pen. When you need to use it, you only need to unfold it like a scroll. You can also adjust the screen size according to your usage habits.

This kind of high-end product that integrates a large number of carbon-based optical components and electronic components is not something Boulder City is capable of producing.

However, every year there are merchants coming from the east coast, bringing this rare thing from the distant Ideal City.

"...Yes, you must also add the title of permanent partner of the enterprise."

This is also what interests Liszt the most.

Just a few hours ago, he had confirmed through his own channels that Vault 404 had indeed received that extremely rare honor - or "contract".

There are only two plain belts across the entire river valley province from east to west. The northern one has been blocked by the bone-chewing tribe. It is almost foreseeable that a large wave of caravans will pass through here this year.

Thinking of this, Liszt couldn't help but have a hint of expectation on his face.

If he can seize this historic opportunity, he may be able to earn chips that were unimaginable in previous years, and his assets will grow as fast as a rocket!

What is that word called?

Yes!

Win-win!

"How's the research going?"

A familiar voice came from behind.

Liszt turned around and saw Chu Guang walking towards him, and said with joy.

"It's done! Surprisingly, the situation is much better than I expected, although there are many problems that need to be solved. For example, you lack stable power, but it is commendable that you actually built it in the ruins. A steel plant was built."

Chu Guang said pleasantly.

"The power supply problem will be solved before the end of the month. Our engineers are already designing the power grid of the industrial zone and building centralized thermal power stations. Is there anything else?"

"There is also a drainage system," Liszt thought for a while and continued. "If you plan to allow caravans to continue to settle here next year, at least make sure that they don't step on them when they walk on the street. Bad stuff, like excrement."

Chu Guang was stunned for a moment.

What the hell?

"Is this happening??"

Liszt coughed lightly.

"No...I'm just giving you an example. After all, your new settlement already has 2,000 people, but I found that there are only five toilets that rely on manpower to pick up excrement. Indeed, the locals can solve the problem in the fields. problem, but what about the foreign travelers? What about the merchants? And their guards, entourage and servants, it is impossible to go to the fields to solve the problem in such a disciplined manner."

Chu Guang touched his chin.

"This is a problem, is there anything else?"

"That's all for now?" Liszt hesitated for a moment and said, "However, they are all trivial matters, so I'll just say them casually, so don't take them too seriously."

"There is no trivial matter here," Chu Guang shook his head and said seriously, "This problem will be solved within a month."

Liszt was slightly surprised, then smiled and said.

"It seems that the northern suburbs have met a wise manager. No wonder the people here are full of confidence in the future."

Chu Guang: "Thank you for the compliment."

Lister: "This is not a compliment, it is a reality confirmed by my eyes. I have many types of customers, including farmers like Brown, rich locals like your old opponent, and slave owners in Red River Town. And mine bosses... Very few people will regard ordinary people's problems as problems that need to be solved. From my perspective, of course I hope that your residents will live a better life, so that they can have money to buy my goods. ”

Clearing his throat, Liszt continued confidently.

"Perhaps, I should be more confident in your future... By the way, you seem to be in short supply of agricultural machinery? I happen to know a factory owner who mainly makes engines and various power components. His warehouse There are a large number of agricultural machinery and firewood engines stored in it. I also use their products in my plantation in the south, and the quality is very reliable."

"If you need it, I can order a batch for you! For the sake of our friendship, I can give you a 10% discount."

10% off is okay.

Then the price you saw was actually discounted?

Chu Guang almost forgot about it if this guy hadn't mentioned it.

However, now is not the time to reminisce about the past.

Chu Guang asked immediately.

"You have a plantation in the South?"

In order to show his strength to his partners, Liszt did not hide anything and said with a smile.

"Yes, it's not just the plantation. I have a long-term contract with the local survivor settlement. The rubber produced belongs to me, and the biomass oil belongs to them. Every quarter, I will bring them the daily necessities they need. Go there once and buy some things that Boulder City needs. If you are interested, we can also cooperate. You provide the site and are responsible for the safety. I provide the manpower to farm, and we can split the output 50%.

What Chu Guang cared about was not his proposal, but the information he revealed in his proposal.

The development environment in the south of Qingquan City seems to be better than here. Many businessmen from Boulder City own plantations and other industries there.

And there is the blind spot of your own vision.

Perhaps I should take advantage of the beginning of spring and take advantage of the recovery of trade routes to send a few people to explore the area around Qingquan City.

Chu Guang thought for a moment and said.

"This sounds like an attractive proposal, but we plan to use more efficient centralized cultivation of cash crops, so let's talk about those agricultural machines."

"No problem."

Liszt was not surprised by Chu Guang's polite rejection.

He walked around the northern suburbs and didn't see a single slave. At most, there were only prisoners of war. It was obvious that slavery was not popular in this survivor colony.

In fact, compared to the employment system, slavery is indeed an inefficient means of production. Even with the same standard of living, the work enthusiasm of freedmen would be significantly better than that of slaves.

Therefore, even in Boulder City, which recognizes the legality of slaves, few factories will arrange slaves to work on the assembly line.

Chu Guang gave Liszt a list and purchased 10 "Iron Horse 60" pot camel machines.

Although this thing does not use any particularly advanced technology, it is a serious piece of heavy equipment, and the price is naturally much more expensive than the small arms and legs of the KV-1 exoskeleton.

According to the data provided by Lister, the total weight of this pot camel machine is about 500 kilograms, and it can provide a maximum of 60 horsepower.

Compared to the 8 to 10 horsepower pot camel machines that players have imitated and improved, and the 20 to 30 types of common light trucks in the Legion, the pot camel machine that weighs 500 kilograms and can provide a maximum of 60 horsepower is indeed worthy of comparison. It's black technology.

There is no shortage of light power equipment in Vault 404, but there is still a shortage of such heavy power equipment.

Whether it is used on construction machinery or in land reclamation work, these devices are enough to more than double the original efficiency.

Compared with fuel engines, the advantages of this kind of machinery are obvious. It is easy to manufacture, simple to maintain, and the power it can use is everywhere, so it is quite popular in the wasteland.

However, the price is relatively expensive.

The unit price of one unit actually reached an astonishing 5,000 chips, which is equivalent to a hundred iron tube rifles or 30 automatic rifles.

According to the quotation of 5,000 chips for a machine, if Chu Guang wants to buy these equipment, he needs to pay 50,000 chips to Liszt.

Chu Guang naturally does not have that many chips.

It is impossible to give him so much "foreign exchange reserves".

But it doesn't matter.

Paying money directly is a strange thing, but bartering is the norm in the wasteland.

In the warehouse of the outpost, there are hundreds of tons of spiritual leaves stored, all cut from the greenhouse ruins.

After some haggling, the deal was finally concluded with 10 pot camel machines in exchange for 1,000 kilograms of spiritual leaves.

Although Liszt has repeatedly said that 50 chips for one kilogram of spirit leaves is the price in Boulder City, and it cannot be sold at this price at any time.

It is impossible for him to transport these goods back to Boulder City without earning a single chip.

However, Chu Guang certainly would not believe his lies and replied unceremoniously.

"5,000 chips and an Iron Horse 60 pot camel machine. Isn't this also the price of Boulder City? And it's the price you quoted me."

"And I don’t think that 1,000 kilograms of spiritual leaves can only be sold for 50 pieces per kilogram in your hands. It is still winter, spiritual leaves are a summer crop, and the requirements for the environment and soil are quite harsh, you Can we get so much goods from other places?"

"The pharmaceutical companies in Boulder City will be begging you to sell this batch of goods to them. Just as you believe in my management skills, I also believe that your business acumen will know what to do."

Chu Guang believed that Liszt would not be stupid enough to falsely report an outrageous price to himself, so as to influence the cooperation of millions for a mere 50,000 chips.

But he also didn’t believe that what Liszt gave him was the ex-factory price.

As this guy said himself, the straight-line distance on the map is more than 40 kilometers, and the actual distance is even more than 100 kilometers.

Both people and transportation cost money.

He can never do charity.

"Management ability? You are really unqualified if you don't do business!"

Looking at the order in his hand, although he still made a profit, Liszt couldn't help but complain in a low voice before silently putting the order away.

Chu Guang smiled.

Haha.

How do you know I haven’t done it?

"I'll just assume you're complimenting me."

The spiritual leaves have a wide range of uses. They can be made into tea, stuffed into cigarettes, and can also be made into spiritual water with a stronger sedative effect and more obvious pain blunting. Agents and various antibiotics are the most popular drugs in the wasteland.

Although not every mercenary has the habit of using strengthening drugs, even if the proportion only accounts for one-third, it is still a quite astonishing market.

The volume of 1 ton should not be enough to cause significant price fluctuations.

Considering that the caravan at the outpost had not yet been established, Chu Guangcai made a slight concession on the price.

After the caravan is completed, he will earn the money himself.

“This batch of goods will be delivered within a week. When my assistant comes back, I will ask him to go there again immediately! I didn’t expect that I could actually see a large chip with more than 10,000 chips in the northern suburbs. The orders are really rare... It seems that the size of the caravan will have to be expanded this year."

Speaking of this, Liszt's tone couldn't help but contain a hint of emotion.

I used to travel all over the northern suburbs, just digging around and earning ten to twenty thousand chips.

How is it like now?

You can earn so much from one transaction.

And it’s not just the chips, but also the resources behind it.

Perhaps it won’t be long before I can enter the inner city and live the high-society life I dreamed of.

Hearing Liszt’s emotion, Chu Guang’s heart suddenly moved.

"Do you need an escort?"

Liszt, who was daydreaming, replied without thinking.

"Of course, there is always a shortage of excellent guards. Even if we occasionally hire mercenaries to make up the numbers, it is impossible for the entire team to make up the numbers. The combat effectiveness of those mercenaries varies, and their quality is average. Only a few mercenary groups are okay, and most of them are just a little better than predators."

A bright smile appeared on Chu Guang's face.

"That's great."

Liszt was stunned for a moment.

"...Sorry, I didn't understand. What do you mean?"

Chu Guang cleared his throat and said seriously.

"What I mean is, in fact, in addition to providing high-quality products, we also provide logistics and security outsourcing services."

"If your caravan needs escorts, I can provide them right here!"
