This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 252: Talent market
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
Later, the group went to the weapons store and finally saw the exoskeleton they had longed for.
However...
Ye Shi “KV-1 sells for 600 chips?! Damn it, it’s so expensive!”
Bangfeng: "How much did Lao Bai's old set cost?"
Lao Bai thought for a while and replied.
"Five hundred silver coins, the steel plate should account for half of the price. If you only count KV-1, it will be about two to three hundred?"
Although the price was a few versions ago, and it was obtained at an auction.
Thinking of the starting price of two hundred silver coins, everyone felt a sigh of relief.
The manager is still kind.
Compared to Boss Xia of the weapons store, he is so kind!
……
I definitely can’t afford such an expensive thing, so I can only look at it to satisfy my craving.
Of course, everyone did not forget the purpose of their trip.
After some negotiation, the LD-47 Sickle assault rifle entrusted to them by the manager was finally sold for 70 chips.
This is the price after their efforts.
The gun shop owner in the new map, Boss Bixia, has a bad temper and is not interested in their weapons at all.
And not just one.
Although Boulder City's bullets also have 7mm, the lengths are completely different, the structure of the primer is also different, and they are not universal even if the caliber is the same.
The price of the Drone assault rifle in Boulder City is 150, and the ex-factory price may not even be three digits, only 90 at most.
It is a wrong choice to come here to sell weapons. Boulder City's military industry is much better than them, both in terms of cost and technology, which has only developed for one winter.
Unless they find another way and work hard elsewhere.
Looking at the shelves in the store, Ye Shi muttered.
"Holy crap, are these mortars for sale?"
And the price is not expensive.
For a style that is a little longer than a rifle, with a 60 caliber, and a shooting range of within three kilometers, it only costs the price of a set of KV-1?
Lao Bai glanced around the shelves.
"There are no shells here."
Fang Chang: "There are artillery shells, but they should be picked up outside the city. I remember that explosives exceeding a certain number of grams are prohibited... Let's go, none of them are affordable for us."
Lao Bai sighed.
"It's too difficult, it's too difficult."
I wonder if bricks can be sold for money here?
Their Niuma Brick Factory only has this special product.
Ye Shi smiled.
"How about we go to the factory to drill screws?"
Lao Bai is a power type!
Driving screws must be fierce!
Fang Chang rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"The daily salary of 2~3 chips is not enough for you to buy a gun after working for a month. I advise you to save money."
A sickle can be sold for 70 chips, which is actually not bad. Anyway, the cost of raw materials is less than 15 silver coins. No matter how high other costs are, they should not exceed this number.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
Although the money has nothing to do with them and the chips sold are mission props, the final reward will be settled with silver coins and contribution points based on how many chips they sold.
Can I hack it myself?
Of course.
As we all know, the ways to get rich are written in the criminal law, and there are always people who think that others are fools.
But they are not.
Big Bird Vodka with fried tomatoes and eggs was sold to a drunkard at the door of the pub for 10 chips.
The four of them felt that they were at a loss. After all, the bottle of wine weighed a full kilogram.
To brew so much wine, it would cost at least three kilograms of potatoes, which would cost at least three silver coins. If it was expensive, it would cost up to five.
It’s equivalent to not making any money!
Yashi holding the chips wanted to go into the bar and take a look. There seemed to be someone wearing scant clothes inside, but before he could step through the door, he was pulled by Fang Chang.
Bang Feng said from the side.
"Don't miss the point."
Ye Shi: "Gan! Aren't you curious? Let me see!"
The first thing to do when opening up a new map is to investigate a place like this, right?
How dare you say that you understand the local customs here!
As we all know, whether it is an online game or a stand-alone game, taverns are the information gathering center in RPG games.
This is common sense!
Fang Chang coughed dryly: "I have been here some time ago...the kind of pub where there is dancing, the minimum ticket is 2 chips, which is equivalent to buying a glass of wine just to enter."
Ye Shi: "Damn! This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes has been there before! Why didn't you write it in the guide??"
Fang Chang's eyes drifted away.
"I can't write everything."
Lao Bai patted Ye Shi on the shoulder and said comfortingly.
"Let's wait until we make money. I'm afraid these few chips in my pocket won't be enough for you to drink two drinks."
That's true.
Ye Shi calmed down.
Boss Crow’s mushrooms were finally collected by the grocery store.
Except for the few blue mushrooms she risked her life to steal from the leech nest, the other mushrooms that looked delicious at first glance did not sell for much money.
Looking at the bag of chips in their hands, the four young players looked worried.
"Not enough."
After deducting 70 points of mission props, I earned 540 points of chips today, more than half of which was contributed by Boss Crow.
At their disposal are 270 chips.
But having said that, those blue mushrooms are really valuable, and they are actually sold by the gram! And 4 grams can be exchanged for one chip!
It's just a pity that this thing is so rare.
Boss Crow had already used them up before winter came, but there seemed to be some left in the NPC's warehouse.
Now the leech nest is only used as bait for fishermen. The few blue pili on the wall may not return to its former lush appearance in a short time.
……
That night.
The four of them slept on the floor on the second floor of the office, and after logging off, they all went to the forum.
Under the expectant gaze of countless players and cloud players, Fang Chang updated everything he had seen and heard throughout the day in the post.
Art pieces including Teng Teng are on consignment.
The mushrooms including Boss Crow sold for huge sums of money.
They also wrote clearly how much everyone's things were sold for.
The disgusting thing of hacking other people's equipment and game currency is something that any decent player would disdain to do, and everyone believes in them.
Only Professor Yang, the King of Thunder and Lightning, speculated for a long time, saying that it was impossible to sell only such a small amount and that there might be something fishy about it, but no one paid any attention to him.
The attention of all players has been attracted by the rich freedom and explorable content of the new map.
What is a virtual world?
Is this what you call it?
The northern suburbs are completely wilderness survival!
Even through the screen, Fang Chang could feel that many people's eyes were shining with envy.
Tail: "Can I open a mercenary guild! (?ω?)!"
Fang Chang: "Well, this is an unimagined road, you can give it a try."
There are really mosquitoes in WC: "Wait! Where are my grenades? No one buys them!? (?Д?#)"
Ye Shi: "Your explosive charge exceeds the standard. Who can set up half a kilogram of explosives in a hand grenade and have it confiscated at the door!"
There are really mosquitoes in WC: "Gan! My anti-split claw crab mine!"
Lao Bai: "...I think anti-tank might be enough."
Runaway Mole in the Canyon: "Where's the exoskeleton? Have you seen the exoskeleton? Damn it, Red River Town is so poor!"
Fang Chang: "It's written in the post, please read it carefully."
Boulder City has an exoskeleton.
And it’s not just the basic KV-1, there are also series 2, 3, and even improved versions of type a and type b, with prices ranging from one thousand to tens of thousands of chips.
This thing is just like a car in the real world, with different styles, options, and prices.
The cheapest basic model is equivalent to selling a power supply and a small motor. The expensive high-end version is not only equipped with armor linings, but also comes with a helmet with night vision and thermal imaging. Even if the same solid-state hydrogen technology is used, batteries made of different materials and technologies have vastly different safety and endurance capabilities.
However, the expensive ones are not on the shelves and usually require special customization.
After all, ordinary people can't afford so much money. In most cases, the mercenary's choice is the KV-1, which is slightly more expensive than the rifle.
What Chu Guang didn’t expect was that the KV-1 exoskeleton was so cheap on the shelves in Boulder City, only 600 chips?
The actual production cost may be only half of this number.
Looking at the posts posted by young players on the forum, Chu Guang couldn't help but recall the distant past. Someone only used 200 chips to take away two kilograms of blue mushrooms from his hands, resell them again Give yourself a set of KV-1 exoskeletons with 800 chips.
That’s the hard-earned money earned by Crow Crow!
Excuse me!
But when he thought about the equipment Liszt spent hundreds of thousands of chips on to buy from Boulder City, Chu Guang didn't bother to worry about the few hundred dollars.
If you don’t sell it to him, you can only sell it to Old Leech.
In most cases, what he can do is not choose the best of two options that both look good, but choose the less bad option of two options that are both bad.
Anyway, he fulfilled his promise and killed this guy.
No, saying Zai is too vulgar.
It should be said that it is a win-win situation!
……
While Brother Fang was busy replying, Shuyu finally finished everything, and the office of Shelter 404 in Boulder City was finally successfully listed.
It covers a total area of 120 square meters. If there is no stall, not counting the entrance, there are three floors in total, and the monthly rent is 800 chips. The first floor serves as the lobby, and the second and third floors serve as hotels for players to rest.
Based on the situation in the future, Chu Guang will consider whether to set up a save point here and arrange for several sleep pods to be placed there to facilitate players to save here.
The area near the industrial zone of Boulder City has a power grid. One chip can buy 10 kilowatt-hours of electricity. Some people also buy wood generators to generate their own electricity, or tie solar panels to their roofs.
Some people use a mixture of the two.
However, buying a generator often costs three or four figures, which is not suitable at this stage.
The funds were only 10,000 chips, and Shuyu did not dare to waste it. After paying three months' rent and one month's deposit, half of the remaining 6,800 chips had to be spent on decoration and furniture.
This is the request of the administrator.
Even if the budget is tight, we must follow the pictures he provided to decorate the place with the "feel of the Adventurer's Guild".
Shouldn’t it be the Chamber of Commerce?
Shu Yu was a little confused, but he didn’t take it too seriously and just regarded it as the manager’s personal preference.
After renting the venue, he immediately set up the communication base station, hung the antenna on the roof of the building, and disguised it with something less conspicuous.
With this, players' VMs can finally receive messages from the shelter normally!
But it may be because the wall is too high, the signal here is too weak.
Late at night.
After finally finishing his work, Shuyu hung the headphones on his ears and contacted the manager of the shelter far away.
"Sir, as per your instructions, I have contacted the local decoration company for construction. The decoration of the hall is expected to be completed within a week! The decoration of the second and third floors will also be completed within two weeks!"
"Not bad, you did a good job."
A voice of approval came from the other end of the phone, and he paused for a while before speaking.
"The venue problem has been solved, and the employee problem must also be solved as soon as possible. I need you to hire some local employees who understand the local situation, at least ten people, half of them will be in the field and half will be in the office."
The field team is responsible for picking up players and communicating with local people.
This is what Chu Guang promised in the version, to provide players with a more convenient channel and hire NPCs with higher trading levels to help them sell things.
When you have nothing to do, you can also research the market, collect local rumors, compile information and send it back to the shelter.
Soon the whole Qingquan City will be lively.
You should be able to hear a lot of interesting things from there.
As for the back office, to put it bluntly, it is civil servants, including tellers who receive players, handle business, issue tasks, and negotiate other business with local people.
If you find out-of-work engineers or even Blue Jackets from other shelters, introduce them to a new place to go.
If they want.
"...You just need to follow the manual I sent you for employee training. The salary can be appropriately higher according to market conditions. We can't count on their loyalty, but we can tie them to us with benefits. on the chariot."
"You can take control of this yourself, I believe in your ability."
Holding the headphones in both hands, Shuyu nodded seriously.
"Okay sir, but there is a problem now... We only have 3,400 chips left in our account. Even according to the minimum standard here, we have to give an employee a daily salary of 3 chips. Consider When we need to bear their food and accommodation, the actual cost may be 4 to 5 chips, and the actual employment cost for a month may be up to 150. If we hire 10 people at a time, our current funds will be enough for two months at most."
It’s not just that there aren’t enough funds in the account.
What’s more important is the source of funding!
An organization that provides services to hundreds or even thousands of people cannot always rely on subsidies from shelters, not to mention that shelters do not have that much in reserve.
Having heard the concerns in his heart, Chu Guang said in a reassuring tone.
"Don't worry, the funding problem will be solved soon. I hope you don't have to worry about chips in the future. After the trade route is opened, you will be responsible for the import and export of bulk commodities between the refuge and Boulder City. The transaction volume 10% of the total will be used as your funding."
"But remember, you are not a for-profit organization, but a public institution that serves the shelter community."
"I hope you remember this!"
To put it simply, the assessment of department KPIs does not take the retention of department funds as a reference. It cannot be wasted, but there is no need to be too frugal, let alone fight with other departments just to get funds.
You will not take this into account when you get promoted or promoted in the future. If you raise the import price for a little money, you will be rewarded by the time.
However, what Chu Guang thought was simple might be a bit difficult for people in this world, so he simply changed it to something he could understand.
Of course Shuyu understood, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration in his heart.
It is not for the purpose of profit, and the interests of the collective come first.
As expected of a manager!
No wonder he can rule such a large territory and unite the undisciplined wastelanders.
This far-sighted vision and this state of mind are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary wastelanders...
……
The next day.
Early in the morning, not long after the four little players got up, they were summoned by the NPC named Shuyu.
After putting on the equipment, Ye Shi said enthusiastically.
"What are we going to do today?"
Shuyu said in non-standard shelter language.
"Hire, employee."
Recruit new NPCs? !
Is this a job that players can participate in? !
Hearing these words, the eyes of the four little players suddenly lit up.
Especially Ye Shi, everyone was excited.
"Will you consider our opinions?"
Shuyu was stunned for a moment, glanced at VM, and nodded at the subtitles that popped up on the screen.
"Okay."
Of course.
After all, this office serves them.
Rather, their opinions are important.
"Hahaha, Ness!"
Ye Shi pumped his fist excitedly, his face full of excitement.
Shu Yu: "...?"
Nice thoughts?
What does it mean?
VM did translate it, but after reading it for a long time, he didn’t understand what the translation meant.
Bangfeng looked at Fang Chang helplessly, but he didn't expect that this guy was not a serious person. He was holding his chin and mumbling.
"You really need to pay attention to this...after all, we are partners who have to get along day and night."
Who can resist a fair-skinned and beautiful elder sister whispering in her ear, "Be careful on the road," "Pay attention to safety," and "I'll wait for you to come back."
Ten thousand steps back, a vigorous "come on" can also make people full of motivation!
Fang Chang swore that this was definitely not his personal hobby, but mainly for the sake of everyone.
Bang Feng sighed.
"A rational analysis..."
Fang Chang immediately guessed what he was going to say and directly interrupted his spell casting.
"Well said, you can shut up."
Ye Shi: "Go away, I don't want rationality!"
Lao Bai: "Well, I actually value gameplay more than reasonableness."
"..."
Bangfeng thought it would be better not to talk too much.
The person in charge of leading the way was the guard of Liszt's caravan, the man named Kaia with a bandage on his arm.
The group of people turned a few corners and came to a lively market.
However, it is different from other markets.
The goods sold at the stalls here are not a dazzling array of products, but people.
Some people sell others, and some sell themselves.
"This is the largest 'talent market' in Boulder City! Whether you are a free person or a slave, you can find it here!"
"...Occasionally, you can even see bionic people brought by caravans from outside, or even good things that have been eliminated from the homes of noble men in the inner city."
"There is no bigger talent market in the entire Qingquan City. If the people here can't catch your eye, you can only try your luck in the slums outside. But the quality there is too poor... I don’t think you would be interested either.”
After giving a rough introduction, Kaiya smiled slightly and looked at Shuyu and others standing aside.
"Choose slowly, and just be careful of those with obvious tattoos on their bodies. These people may be gang members, and some are even predators. They are not absolutely confident in their eyes, so it is best to be cautious. ”
Shuyu looked at him in surprise.
"Are there any looters here?"
"Of course, the gates of Boulder City are open to everyone, and the looters will not write what they have done on their faces. But it is actually easy to distinguish them. Sensing the breath is a compulsory skill for an experienced warrior. class."
Kaia had a confident smile on her face.
"Anyway, I'll be fine until dark. If you can't make up your mind, I'm willing to help you!"
He is just a temporary worker in the caravan.
Although I have worked for a year, I am far from being a core employee. If the market is not good, I may be fired next year, and I will have to go to the wasteland to make a living.
You can't go wrong with building a good relationship with these people.
He knew very well that without Liszt's relationship, these people might not even look at him when walking on the street.
Even the boss needs someone to please, so he will naturally not let go of this opportunity to show courtesy.
Shuyu, who was focused on his work, didn't have much mental activity. After nodding his thanks, he walked forward with the players.
This place is more like a refugee camp than a talent market. It is really big, but the quality is difficult to fully satisfy.
Skinny people abound here, and most of them have disheveled looks on their faces, and it can be seen that they are relying on those "nutritional creams that are not nutritious at all."
There were a few people in neat formal clothes, holding signs full of words in their hands, writing down their skills and job requirements.
Some people even set up stalls to help others write on signs for a fee.
[Zhao Duo, electrical engineer, expected daily salary of 20 chips, accepts a 12-hour working day, can do carpentry, and can assemble iron tube rifles. 】
[Bilechi, a blacksmith, worked in a steel factory, can be used by both little guys and big guys, the daily salary is 6 chips, 5 chips are also fine, unless you have to take care of two meals, you will not accept jobs outside the city . 】
[Limu, you can use a gun, you can use a dagger, you can do everything. 】
【……】
Looking at the scene in front of them, Fang Chang and Ye Shi despaired.
"I despair of the future era."
"Did we say that everyone's genes have been improved?"
Look around.
I didn’t see many pretty people.
"You two are also old players. It seems like you are entering the game for the first time..." Lao Bai coughed dryly, "Given the nutritional conditions in the wasteland, good-looking people are only a minority, right?"
"Well, the poor people here are too thin, but there are some pretty girls among the mercenaries..." Fangfeng's eyes have been fixed on a beautiful woman wearing leather clothes, but when the other party looked over, he conditionally He avoided it reflexively.
Ye Shi argued and gave a counterexample: "But Xiaoyu!"
Fang Chang rolled his eyes at him.
"She's well-nourished, don't you think the manager missed something?"
Bangfeng nodded and commented pertinently.
"Indeed, the little girl seems to have grown a little taller than when we first entered the game."
It’s not just small fish anymore.
Most of the younger NPCs in the outpost look pretty good, especially those who are still developing.
For example, the young man named Xu Shun next to him, and Lu Bei who followed Brother Mole to Honghe Town.
These are all names they can name.
The tribesmen next door also have a somewhat exotic feel.
A hint of enlightenment suddenly appeared in Ye Shi's eyes.
"I understand, the answer is to develop!"
Lao Bai: "..."
Fang Chang: "Enterprise-level understanding."
The strong wind held my forehead.
"I beg you, please be a human being."
……
While Shuyu and the players were selecting employees, in the Gray Squirrel Clothing Store on the other side, Si Er was still sitting behind the wooden table and dozing off.
The two clothes in the window are missing.
It's not that it was sold or lost, but it was rented to people in need.
After all, those blue coats will stay here for several days. If they sell in the end, wouldn't they take his good position in vain?
Lost or broken?
That's just right.
Just pay the price on the label and be done with it.
Doing business with acquaintances is still very reliable.
The door opened with a clang, frightening Siel, who was dozing off, to the point where he almost fell off his chair.
Seeing that it was his old friend Luo Bo who owned a bar, he immediately cursed angrily.
"What are you doing? Don't you know how to be gentle when you come in!"
Robo ignored him, walked up with gleaming eyes, put his hands on the wooden table in front of him, and said with spittle flying everywhere.
"Do you still have that kind of clothes?!"
Siel: "Yes..."
Robo continued without stopping: "I want them all! And those socks, the long ones!"
Siel was stunned for a moment.
"Want them all?"
I suddenly came back to my senses.
Sier, who had not woken up a second ago, suddenly woke up, looked at him with a serious expression and said.
"No problem, but it's devil's thread, and it's shelter technology...I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to use."
"But——"
Siel protracted his tone and changed the subject.
"For the sake of our relationship, I can help you think of a solution."
Robo, who had just shown a disappointed expression, immediately grabbed his hand after hearing the second half of the sentence and said excitedly.
"Thanks, good brother!"
Siel cleared his throat.
"Ahem, chips..."
"Haha, look at my memory! I almost forgot about the real thing!" Luo Bo chuckled, grabbed his hand and put it into his pocket, took out a bag of large-denomination chips and slapped it on the table.
"Including your deposit, 600 chips are here! Just use the remaining money as a deposit!"
Surprised by this guy's cheerfulness, Sil quickly put away the chips and looked at him and asked.
"Why do you need so many clothes?"
"You know, I own a bar!"
"Of course I know..."
"Then you definitely don't know what happened yesterday. I'm not bragging. You really should have gone to my place for a drink yesterday," Luo Bo said with excitement. "At that time, when my dancer appeared on stage wearing that outfit, the whole The bar is boiling!"
