This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 516: That’s the curse of my hometown, bad luck will wrap around their oars
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
"Goodbye, brothers, don't miss me... you pangolin uncles have to go solo for a while."
The Heart of Steel put away its anchor chain and headed farther and farther east under the midday light.
Thousands of thoughts were taken away to the distance by the giant whale floating in the clouds. The battlefield veteran waved his hand and said goodbye to the triumphant brothers.
He will also triumph in some time.
It’s just that we are not going to Dawn City, but to Triumph City.
Although I don’t know what methods Saren, the commander of the Eastern Legion, used, in short, they returned to the Triumph City as victors.
Honestly, until now the battlefield boss is still in the lake.
The Legion fought an inexplicable war and then returned home inexplicably. In addition to shocking the company and the college, where did these big noses win?
Just consider it a win.
He didn't care about such insignificant things. What made him extremely melancholy was another thing.
At first it was just an idea, even a joke, but I didn’t expect that in the end I would cross the entire desert for it, and even go to the far west...
Triumph City.
Forget it, just think of it as an early experience of the new version. Closed beta, closed beta... Isn't that what closed beta players do?
"What are you talking about?"
A pleasant voice came from behind.
Having guessed who the person was, the battlefield veteran skillfully switched to the human language and said with a serious face.
"That's the curse of my hometown, bad luck will wrap around their oars."
Penny was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. "...You are so funny."
Looking at the silent pangolin, Penny thought he was still brooding about the incident in Shelter 0, so she lowered her voice and comforted him.
"Governor Cohen did not blame you for what happened to Wall-E... It was not your fault. You fulfilled your mission faithfully and brought back the original copy of the Torch Project so that we would not be greedy and cunning. The East Coasters and the dark and sinister swamp people are kept in the dark."
Zhanji Lao said solemnly, suppressing a smile. "That's what I should do." Penny looked at him with full eyes. "Can you do me a small favor?" "It's an honor to serve you."
Looking sometimes dull and sometimes dull
A gentleman's pangolin, Penny couldn't help but curl her lips, but soon her expression took on a rare hint of coyness.
"My...uh, father wants to see you."
"Your father?" Looking at Penny who looked away, Zhanji Lao was confused for a moment, "Why did he see me."
"You may not know..." Gently flicking her bangs, Penny said in a normal-sounding tone, "The Triumph Newspaper has reported a lot about your deeds, and the materials that happened to be sent to the royal capital are not enough. Most of it was written by me, so just help me, okay?"
I always felt that the casual tone was unnatural, but the war veteran didn't say anything and nodded anyway.
In fact, he is not very good at rejecting people, whether in reality or in the game.
Just think of it as a triggered side quest.
Seeing the wooden man nodding, Penny had a happy smile on her face and looked at the thin clouds in the sky.
"By the way...are we going to stay here all winter?"
"Well," the field veteran nodded, "without an airship, it is too dangerous to take the land route... If you don't follow the large army, accidents will easily happen."
The northern industrial area was once the logistics center of the People's Union era. Although it had the densest transportation network, it was already in the prosperous era.
Nowadays, those high-speed networks and underground passages have been completely cut off, forming a three-dimensional maze with the intricate office buildings and warehouses.
The desertification there is not as serious as the eastern industrial area, but the danger is no less than here. If you want to get around there, you have to walk through the Wandering Swamp, which is the moat of the college. It's also not a beautiful place.
Just looking at the description on the official website of "Wasteland OL", I don't have much confidence in being able to play alone in the desert or the swamp. Maybe it will be better when he reaches level 50 or 60.
By the way, he has just passed level 30 and is in the fourth stage of his genetic sequence. According to common parlance in the wasteland, he has completed his third awakening.
The first 10 levels of this game were only a little easier to upgrade, and he couldn't help but wonder if Aguang was deliberately trying to lower the levels of beta testers like them.
At this rate, almost no one can reach the legendary level 100. Penny sighed softly.
"I really want to go home soon..."
That was a casual remark, but it made someone next to me feel "nostalgic".
I heard that Old Hook took control of the road town
The warehouse behind the museum was bought, demolished and converted into a building, with a large courtyard enclosed in the middle. The trading post was originally located at the edge of Dawn City, but due to more and more houses being built, it is now located in the sub-center.
The biggest change is the train station. There used to be an open space in front of the platform, but now there are rows of concrete buildings scattered around it.
The square where they held the triumphal ceremony has now been planted with many green plants and has become a place for residents of Dawn City to walk, socialize and relax. The newly established municipal garden management department of Shuguang City City Hall is responsible for the planning of public buildings and keeps everything in order... I heard that this is inseparable from the contribution of a certain urban planning professional.
If the regional reputation of a specific NPC settlement reaches 1,000 or more, you can invest in setting up factories, if you have more than 1,000, you can participate in grassroots municipal work, and if you have more than 100,000, you can even serve as the director of the city hall of a subjective municipal government. The Battlefield veteran has only recently heard that there are actually players who are working tirelessly to improve the reputation of a region, just to be able to enjoy the mayor's addiction in the game.
Wouldn't it be nice to just start a game of "City Skylines"?
Since the beginning of the year, Crow Crow has been updating aerial photos of Dawn City from time to time on its official website, and the Battlefield veteran has also seen that post.
However, he always felt dissatisfied with what he saw in the photos, as if something was missing.
At this moment he realized that what was missing was people.
Those NPCs with their own behavioral logic are like living people. Together with many players from "another world", they constitute the entire society and give real meaning to the latter's actions.
He knew exactly what he really missed. Damn...
I really want to go home!
Just as the Heart of Steel was on its way back, the official website of "Wasteland OL" was updated with new content.
Although there is still no news about Bet0.5 and new closed beta qualifications, the content is much better than Bet0.4.
[New survivor settlement - Kaituo City: Kaituo City, which stands on the ruins of the eastern industrial zone of the People's Federation, is not livable, but it has a richer pre-war civilization heritage than Dawn City. A group of brave adventurers once came, and those with a brave heart will continue to follow their footsteps. 】
[Newly added NPC corps—Bicester 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Construction Corps: The prisoners of war in the Falcon Kingdom refused to go back and continue to be the cattle and horses of the noble lords. They would rather face the yellow sand with their heads above the scorching sun. Even if it is not easy to build a city in the desert, at least those who are baked dry
The sweat is for themselves, they will prove that they can live a good life even without those arrogant men! 】
[New NPC Corps - Thorn Corps: Among them are tailors, herdsmen, carpenters, teachers and even scholars. The chaotic tea poison destroyed their past lives, but it did not knock them down. In order to spread the light of order and save those who have not yet been saved, they resolutely chose to stay and declare war on all chaos and barbarism. , take revenge on the Enlightenment Society that deprived them of their past...]
[New map - Eastern Industrial Zone: The processing industry center of the People's Union era. Even if it has been completely turned into ruins, unexpected treasures can still be unearthed under the dilapidated concrete and iron-containing sand. If you find the dormant Blue Jackets, please bring them to Pioneer City before the initiation. Recommended map level: Lv15 or above. (Note: Since it is far away from the resurrection point, players who go to explore this map should be cautious.)]
Tail: "Oh! Sisters of Thorns! Cunning spellcasters! Si! Let's sign up!
Indebted eyes: "The Thorn Sisters are okay, but wouldn't the Eleventh Interstellar Corps be more suitable! Bad review!"
Si Si: "Wake up, O'Wei, we finally arrived at the Southern Islands. It would be thousands of kilometers to go back."
Tail: "Damn, the ship is moving too slow... It would be great if we could get an airship.
Roshan Big Momo: "I'm afraid it will cost tens of billions of silver coins."
Ye Shi: "Be more confident and get rid of the fear. (Funny)" Aoao Sesame Lake: "Ah ha ha ha... too many."
Edge: "Is it okay to leave defense to local survivors?"
Fang Chang: "From the Falcon Kingdom to the Honey Badger Kingdom, there are too many places where troops need to be garrisoned. The alliance's standing troops are no longer enough, but there are a lot of exoskeletons, bulletproof armor and guns left. The local survivors are willing Protect yourself,
I think it is still worthy of encouragement. ”
The Mole on the run in the canyon: "+1, from an economic point of view, recruiting troops from the local area is better than sending troops from the alliance to station there. Anyway, large-scale military conflicts are unlikely to occur there recently. As for small-scale conflicts ···Isn’t there someone staying there?”
Yin Leina: "You can trick the newcomers into helping. (Funny)"
Commander Quanshui: "But having said that... the processing center in the People's Federation era, even from a probability perspective, the good stuff there is probably several times more than that in Qingquan City."
I am the worst: "Gan! You said that
I regret a little, I should have stayed with the grandson of Dog Battlefield! ”
Debt-eyed: "Hahahaha!"
Compared to the newly established NPC corps, most players are obviously more interested in the ruins of the "People's Federation Eastern Industrial Zone".
No one knows what is buried under the concrete ruins.
If I dig out a set of power armor that can still be used, I will become TO instantly!
The only problem is distance.
The Great Desert is too far away from Dawn City.
If you depart from Shuguang City and do not rent a corporate transport plane, you need to first take a train via Luoye City to the Lion Kingdom, then transfer to a truck and head northwest to the Honey Badger Kingdom, then go to Bicester Town, and go around Pass the entire southern part of Oasis No. 2 before entering the great desert.
This trip will take at least half a month.
It might be faster after the Alliance's railway is laid to the Honey Badger Kingdom, or we can only wait for the Alliance to come up with longer range and faster means of transportation.
While the players on the forum were exchanging information about the new map, Chu Guang was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the airship bridge, looking towards the horizon.
Sitting on Chu Guang's shoulders, Xiao Qi swung her legs, pointed at the mountains and forests in the distance, and started shouting excitedly.
"Master, the River Valley Province is ahead!" We are finally going home!
The communication situation in the desert was intermittent, and she was disconnected most of the day. She would no longer have this trouble when she returned to the River Valley Province.
Looking at the horizon and squinting his eyes, Chu Guang couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
"Yeah."
It’s been a long time since he went back, and he missed the people there. I believe the residents of Dawn City must also miss him.
Due to abandoning part of its armor and leaving some supplies in Pioneer City, the Heart of Steel's return speed is much faster than its outward journey. The average cruising speed for long-distance travel can even reach 80 kilometers per hour. !
Although this speed is not as fast as that of an airplane, it can still fly nearly two thousand kilometers in one day. It even takes less than two days to go from the desert to the river valley province.
It must be said that in a wasteland full of alien species, airships are indeed a good long-distance means of transportation, even if the rare anti-gravity device is not considered.
The only disadvantage is that hydrogen is too dangerous and helium is not easy to get.
"Ahead is our destination
Ye Cheng is here. "Standing next to Chu Guang, the acting captain stared at the settlement located next to Ruigu City
Rows of houses surround the train station. The warehouses next to the train station are filled with crops shipped from Luoxia Province and industrial products about to be sent to the desert.
Originally, the Alliance built this settlement just to take in those wastelanders gathered by the Legion. After the Alliance's expeditionary force officially set off for the Luoxia Province, it served as a transfer station for frontline supplies, attracting a large number of people from the wasteland. Merchants from Camelback Kingdom, Boulder City and other places, as well as refugees fleeing the scourge of war.
Now that the war is over, the prosperity here has not ended because of this. On the contrary, it has risen to a higher level due to the increase in business transactions.
In the future, this survivor settlement will continue to exist as a trade hub connecting Luoxia Province and River Valley Province.
Chu Guang still has great expectations for the future of this settlement.
Compared with Dawn City and Dawn City, Luoye City has a wider plain to utilize, and without the huge ruins of Qingquan City blocking it, it will be easier to travel from Luoye City to Jinchuan Province.
It would be great if the Jinchuan Province in the south could also be included in the alliance's trade territory.
Even if it owns the granary of Luoxia Province, the alliance no longer needs the food there, and the development value of that land is also very high.
And according to the information the White Bear Knights went to sea to investigate and relevant clues revealed by companies, the development of the ocean in the People's Union era was not inferior to that of the land. There are many relics of the prosperous era left from the sea level to the bottom of the sea, and even refuge!
If you want to utilize those resources on a large scale, you must first have an outlet to the sea that belongs to the alliance. Using Luoye City as a corridor to the south would be a good choice, at least based on the map.
"...I didn't expect that a few months would change so much." Looking at the night view of Luoye City, Chu Guang couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation in his heart.
I wonder what it would be like to overlook the night view of Dawn City from a high altitude. It seems that it has been some time since the last celebration.
The acting captain who had been observing the expression on Chu Guang’s face said respectfully.
"...Sir, do you want to stop here?"
"No need, keep going. Rather than enjoying this beautiful night view, I would rather bring the news of the triumph back home as soon as possible."
After a pause, Chu Guang said with a smile.
"By the way, hang up our flag! Let everyone see it!
Don't keep our compatriots who are looking forward to our return home impatient, and let those who curse us take a look. ”
"Not only are we back, but we are back full of victory and glory!"
Looking at the manager with bright eyes, the acting captain straightened his back excitedly, put his right fist against his chest and performed a military salute.
"Yes!"
Just as the Heart of Steel hoisted the Alliance flag and returned home with great fanfare, Boulder City was bustling with activity.
It was not just the Alliance that made a fortune from the war, the major business houses and factory owners who had invested in the Alliance early also made a fortune.
There was an endless stream of guests at the entrance of Queen of the Night's bar, and the temperature of the entire street rose several degrees. Whether you are an aristocrat in the inner city or a factory owner, if you make a lot of money, you naturally have to find a place to spend it. Otherwise, what is the point of making money?
It’s not just the bars and commercial streets that are lively, but also the City Hall, which is several blocks away.
Because of the wise decision made a few months ago, Mr. Malvern, the president of Boulder City Bank, has stolen the limelight.
If he and Dulong had not passed the resolution of lending money to the alliance against all the odds, there would be no prosperity in Boulder City today!
Now everyone is making a lot of money, and he should take the lead!
Having just returned home from a meeting, Melvin wanted to have a drink and relax, but he was pestered by his cute little daughter, who said she wanted to tell him a bedtime story.
Melbourne was very happy at first, but when he looked at the "Daily Survivor" on the table, his expression became unhappy.
He could guess with his hair that this little girl had probably learned some of the accents of those wastelanders, and wanted to tell him some big principles that she didn't really understand.
Although he was impatient, after all, she was his favorite little daughter, and Malvern couldn't afford to be angry. It happened that he was in a good mood, so he patiently sat on the sofa.
Alyssa cleared her throat, held up the picture book in her hand, and read in a childish voice.
"...In the long history of the People's League, there was a very, very small kingdom, which was even smaller than the honey badger kingdom."
"In order to open up the future of the kingdom, the merchants sailed to sea with the support of the king. However, after the merchants made huge wealth, they bribed the people of the kingdom and pushed the old king to the gallows , became the uncrowned king of the kingdom."
"Although there is no king, the lives of the people of the kingdom have not become better. They used to work in the fields for the feudal lords, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, but now they are driven into the countryside
In coal mines and factories, both young and old work non-stop all day long. ”
"Until later, the unbearable citizens united and overthrew the kingdom jointly ruled by merchants and nobles, and hung those who defrauded their property from street lamps... just as those merchants deposed the king. It's like going to the gallows."
After listening to the story told by his daughter, Malvin pinched his eyebrows and sighed.
"You want to say that our current situation is very dangerous." Alyssa looked at her father intently, her childish face showing intelligence and agility that did not match her age.
"I heard from the servant at home that a piece of bread outside has been sold for 2 chips, and even the price of nutritional ointments has tripled. This is very strange. You said that our factories have increased and the number of jobs has changed. There are more, and everything is getting better, but the lives of the residents of Boulder City have not improved much, which is abnormal, isn't it? I don't think this is a good sign."
Not a good sign... What else can be considered good?
Listening to that childish voice, Malvin smiled and shook his head.
Is there a better sign than "everyone's pockets are full of chips"?
"My child, we are fundamentally different from the kingdom in the fairy tale picture book in your hand. Have you forgotten the origin of the outer city? Originally there was only one building and an inner city... If we hadn't taken in the wastelanders who now live in the outer city, they would have been exposed in the wilderness and become the remains in the mouths of predators and hyenas! They became the prey of predators and mutants... In short, it's nothing Good stuff."
As he spoke, he unconsciously brought the high-spirited mood at the conference table back home.
Alyssa frowned, dissatisfied with her father's tone, and corrected her seriously.
".·····This is not a fairy tale picture book, it is our history."
"Of course, my boy...this is indeed something that may have happened on this planet."
Immediately realizing that something was wrong with his tone, Malvin made his words sound gentler.
Looking at his cute little daughter, he continued patiently.
"...But the difference is that Boulder City has never been ruled by merchants from beginning to end. Do you really think it was the bank that made them unable to buy bread? On the contrary, your father may I'm not a good person, but if I hadn't lent money to those factories, those poor people wouldn't have even a chip in their pockets, no matter how cheap the bread was.
What is it for? ”
There was a trace of confusion in Alyssa's eyes.
Although she learned a little bit from newspapers and books, it was only what others said... and what his father said was beyond the scope of her knowledge.
Malvin touched his daughter's head and said lovingly.
"Don't apply mechanically when thinking about problems. Our situation is different from the beginning of your picture book. Whether it is Weijia Commercial Bank or our Boulder City Bank, our shareholders are the nobles of the inner city from the beginning. They are He lent us our first chip."
"I should have told you that your mother's family... her ancestors were the first survivors of the Rock Building. I hope you can learn more aristocratic etiquette and ways of life from her. Really No, I can only send you to study in Ideal City."
He likes this smart little daughter very much, but sometimes he also thinks that it would be better if she was not so smart... or a little stupid.
Being smart is not a bad thing.
But if naivety is added, big problems can easily arise.
She is not too young, and it will be time to start a family in two years. Maybe I should be a little stricter, or at least stop treating her like a child.
Alyssa blinked. "Second brother's place?" Malvern nodded. "That's right." This is a retreat.
Of course he knows that there are hidden worries in the current situation in Boulder City, but this is not a problem that he can solve.
The city lord will not support him, the militia leader will not support him, the chairman of Jushi Military Industry will not support him, and the nobles in the inner city will not support him.
All animals know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, not to mention a banker with a keen sense of smell like him. Since the problem cannot be solved, it is better to make more money before the problem occurs.
Especially recently, he found a good channel, which is the rising alliance in the northern suburbs.
Although those wastelanders and blue coats always did things that he couldn't understand, the final result was surprisingly good.
Not only did they sustain the Legion's attack, they even gained the friendship of the ancient survivor forces.
I heard from his youngest son who was far away in Ideal City that the alliance businessmen even sold fried chicken wings and Coke to Ideal City!
This is incredible!
God knows how those guys solved the transportation problem!
But this is not the key, the key is that the silver coins can be used
Exchanging "a large amount" for Cr is something that even chips cannot do.
Usually, if you want to exchange for Cr, you have to exchange it at the exchange in Boulder City like buying trading goods. The trading volume is pitifully low.
Don’t look at how one chip can be exchanged for several Cr now. That’s because caravans from Yunjian Province rarely come, and most people don’t have any use for Cr.
If the exchange volume really increases, ten million chips may not be exchanged for one million Cr at the exchange in Boulder City.
Thinking of this, Malvern looked at the "Daily Survivor" on the coffee table unconsciously, and touched his chin thoughtfully.
"Speaking of which, the manager is back."
Alyssa nodded vigorously and looked at her father expectantly.
"Well! I heard that there will be a big and big triumphal celebration... Can we go there and have a look?"
After touching his daughter's head, Malvin said with a gentle smile.
"Of course...but you have to listen to dad. After all, there is wasteland outside the wall, and it is not as safe as home."
"Really? That's great!"
A rare excitement appeared on that quiet face. Alyssa looked at her father with a kind smile in surprise and swore seriously
"I promise you, I will definitely behave!"
Looking at his daughter whose face was full of expectation, Malvin smiled gently, but he was thinking about other things in his heart.
Before, Boulder City borrowed a lot of money from the alliance to fight the war, and it will be time to pay the interest soon. I believe that person should bring back a lot of good things.
However, what worried him was not the treasure trove of the King of Falcon Kingdom and the golden but useless gold, but other things.
Maybe...
The cooperation between them can be deeper
