This game is too real.

Chapter 340 Due to server network fluctuations, the silver coin trading platform is temporarily suspended for one day

Spacious tent.

The man in luxurious clothes paced back and forth in the tent, with a serious brow, as if he was struggling with something.

At this time, footsteps came from outside.

Hearing the movement, he immediately put on a bright smile on his face, and took the initiative to greet the tent door.

Almost at the same time, Chu Guang appeared at the door of the tent.

"Xavier! A salesman from Firestone Group! Nice to meet you, respected leader of the alliance!" Introducing himself in a passionate and even exaggerated voice, Xavier quietly looked at the man who appeared at the door.

Exactly like the rumors, the leader of the new alliance has a pair of obsidian-like deep eyes, handsome and young.

Most importantly, I heard that he is still from a shelter.

This kind of situation is not uncommon in the wasteland. Although the leaders of most survivor settlements are native wastelanders, these survivor settlements are rarely very large, and it is rare for the population to exceed [-]. .

The real big forces, such as enterprises and colleges, even the legions on the west side of the mainland, and the god sticks on the death coast in the south...the origins are more or less related to the refuge.

However, to his surprise, this man was actually an awakened one.

What the hell has this guy been through?
"Chu Guang, manager."

For Xavier's enthusiasm, Chu Guang was not very cold, but just briefly introduced himself.

After all, he was an arms dealer who sold weapons to the Bonechewer tribe, so it was a coincidence that he could give him a good face.

Realizing that he used the wrong address, Xavier looked a little embarrassed.

But after all, he is a person who travels all over the world to do business, so his skin is naturally thick, so he quickly adjusted.

"Sorry, I made an empirical mistake... Nice to meet you, the manager of the alliance."

Chu Guang looked at him and got straight to the point.

"Explain your purpose."

Xavier nodded slightly.

"Mr. Sigma, the leader of our group, asked me to send you congratulations. Congratulations on winning this war. Xizhou City has welcomed a wise master!"

Congratulations okay.

Shouldn't we cry if we lose a big customer?
But the war is over, now is the time for development.

Chu Guang didn't want to make trouble, so he didn't tease his neighbor to the north, but just said something with a half-smile.

"Say hello to him for me too."

"I will bring your greetings!" Relieved in his heart, Xavier cleared his throat and continued, "In addition, in addition to congratulations on victory, Mr. Sigma explained to me before departure that I hope I can redeem you from you." Go back alone."

"Who?"

"Dillon, the captain of the 21th team of the Legion!"

"You mean that person..." Chu Guang recalled the name, but his expression was a little subtle.

"Yes," Xavier was still trying to persuade, completely unaware of what happened, "anyway, the war is over for you, and you and the Legion have no direct hatred. That man is useless to you, Why not use him for a ransom? We can pay him... 50 dinars, what do you think?"

50 dinars.

It is indeed not a small sum.

Chu Guang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Dillon was worth so much money to redeem.

If that guy was still alive, he wouldn't mind exchanging some ransom, but it's a pity...

"Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't grant you this request."

Xavier was stunned, obviously did not expect Chu Guang to refuse, and said anxiously.

"Do you think it's too little? According to Captain Wanfu's standards, this price is already very fair——"

"Because he is already dead." Chu Guang interrupted him and said lightly.

"Dead?!" Hearing this sentence, Xavier was shocked, and his face changed in an instant.

Chu Guang didn't take it seriously.

"That's right, bullets have no eyes on the battlefield, and anything can happen, isn't it normal? Since he chose to squat in the same trench as those predators, he should have thought that he would have this day."

Speaking of this, Chu Guang looked at Xavier with scrutiny, "I'm curious, what are you doing to redeem him?"

"...This is Mr. Sigma's order, and he didn't tell me more details." Xavier said pretending to be calm, but the nervous expression had already betrayed him.

Obviously, he wasn't totally ignorant.

Chu Guang smiled lightly, but did not continue to embarrass him.

The other party didn't want to say anything, no matter how much they asked, it would be useless, and the envoy couldn't be arrested and tortured.

That's so out of order.

"If you're here because of Dillon, your trip was doomed for nothing."

Xavier forced a forced smile across his face.

"How come... to see you with my own eyes, this trip is not in vain."

After a pause, he continued.

"Mr. Sigma also explained the third thing to me. Now that the north-south trade route has been restored..."

"We want to make a trade deal with you!"

……

outside the tent.

The rest area of ​​the visiting group.

Butan went to a nearby construction site, visited the drainage system of Dawn City, and kept shaking his head after returning.

"...There is a big problem with their construction plan. It can't be seen now. According to the summer precipitation in Xizhou City in previous years, it will definitely be over in July!"

"...It's not that serious, is it? I haven't heard of the survivors' settlement in Xizhou City being flooded before." Yuan Feng had a hesitant expression on his face.

They are here to visit, not to criticize other people's families.Although he believes in Mr. Butan's expertise in the field of environmental engineering, he is not in favor of extravagance.

"Can a settlement of 300, or even tens of thousands of people, be the same as a settlement of [-] people? Unless they plan to smash the pot and soak it in the water."

Finally unable to hold back, Butan patted his thigh and stood up.

"I'll go see their managers again! I must explain this to them!"

For the sake of that big gift, he couldn't pretend not to see it due to emotion and reason.

It's a big deal to spend some time on your own and help them redesign a plan!
It's not that hard anyway.

Butan walked towards the manager's tent, and the rest of the visiting group continued to talk about the discovery in Dawn City.

Able to build 1000 emergency shelters in one day, the productivity of the new alliance is indeed amazing.

However, strong production capacity does not mean advanced productivity.

Objectively speaking, there are still many problems with the design and safety of those aluminum skin houses, and the technical content really doesn't look like it came from a shelter.

There are many mountains near Xizhou City, and the wind is not very strong, so it is no problem to use it at will.

But over time, problems will definitely be exposed.

Everyone was talking about it, but a certain "mascot" didn't participate.

The energetic Pai is fiddling with the new toys he just got, sitting in the barracks and having a great time playing.

Quickly mastered the trick of controlling the drone, she programmed a simple control program with the tablet she carried with her, and connected the drone to the VR glasses.

The propeller, as thin as a cicada's wing, trembled, and the silver-white ball rushed into the sky.

Overlooking the land of Xizhou City through the drone's perspective, Pai's face was full of wonder and surprise.

"It's incredible!"

It's a pity that the battery life of the Hummingbird drone is average. After all, the size of the fist is there, and the capacity of the battery can be imagined.

After lowering the drone, Pai took off his glasses eagerly, and there was a touch of longing in his eyes.

"Tianqin, what do you think Dawn City will look like?"

Tian Qin, who was sitting on the chair, didn't answer, she was as quiet as a wooden man.

Pai stared at its cloak, suddenly a little curious in his heart.

Speaking of which, I haven't seen what it looks like yet.

When it came out of the huge door, it wore this cloak that covered its whole body, and it didn't communicate with anyone.

Obviously has such a nice name...

Pai asked quietly.

"Can I take a look?"

Tian Qin didn't speak.

Pai continued in a low voice.

"...If you don't speak, I will take it as acquiescence."

Still no response.

Gathering up his courage, Pai carefully stretched out his hand and gently lifted a corner of the thin cloak.

Unlike its star-named name, under the shadow is a face with plain features, like a mannequin placed in a dilapidated window.

The only difference is that its eyes move and stare straight at her.

"Is there a problem?"

This was the first sentence Tian Qin said after leaving the shelter.

Pai swallowed nervously, shook his head, and quickly retracted his hand.

Looking at the face covered by the cloak again, she whispered with some guilt.

"Sorry……"

Tian Qin looked at her, as if she was confused about something.

After a while, it said solemnly.

"No need to apologize, you didn't do anything to apologize."

Hearing this sentence, Pai, who was still nervous, was relieved, with a happy smile on his face.

"It's good that you're not mad at me."

angry?

Tian Qin looked at her and didn't speak.

There are more things I don't understand...

……

the other side.

After meeting with the representatives of Huoshi Group, Chu Guang returned to his camp.

Negotiations with Huoshi Group were not successful.

Although Chu Guang did not object to putting aside the conflict for the time being, the "trade agreement" proposed by the other party made him roll his eyes uncontrollably.

Zero tariffs, exploration rights and mining rights.

I'm afraid I'm living in a dream!

These three alone have already exceeded his bottom line, and Chu Guang couldn't see any substantial benefits from the pile of exchange conditions and promises given by the other party.

To put it bluntly, what can he get from doing business with the Buguera Free State?
A bunch of ammunition?

Not to mention that the new alliance has no shortage of weapons at all, and there is no battle to fight recently.

The immediate priority is to transfer excess military production capacity to civilian use and ensure food supply and reserves in settlements.

From this point of view, doing business with farmers in the south is obviously better than doing business with arms dealers in the north.

"...In this case, let's talk about an official trade agreement after we have enough trust between each other." After listening to the other party's request, Chu Guang directly rejected Xavier's request with one sentence.

And Xavier didn't say anything more, and left after expressing regret.

Chu Guang could feel that the other party did not have much sincerity towards this trade agreement.

Especially after hearing that Dillon is dead, this feeling is even more obvious.

The Tooth Clan has been destroyed, and the Bonechewer Tribe will fall apart sooner or later.

However, there are still too many mysteries on this rotting corpse.

Why is a group of predators supported by the Church of the Torch and the Legion at the same time?
There must be hidden secrets that I don't understand.

Unfortunately, Gold Tooth is dead, and Dillon is also dead. He can only find a way to investigate from other prisoners of war...

The door of the tent.

Chu Guang happened to see Butan waiting there, so he put away his solemn expression, and a pleasant smile appeared on his face again.

"What's the matter? Friends from Camp 101."

The old man didn't go around in circles, and went straight to the point.

"The drainage system of Dawn City needs to be redesigned. According to the current construction plan, by July, this place will definitely become a puddle!"

Turn into a puddle?
Is it so exaggerated?
Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang showed a look of surprise on his face, and immediately paid attention to it.

"Can you elaborate?"

"I'm here to discuss this matter with you!"

Butan didn't hold back, and told Chu Guang his findings, including the precipitation in Xizhou City in previous years, including the places where the drainage system was not well designed.

After listening to his suggestion carefully, Chu Guang calmly sent a task to the chief designer of the alliance [Knife Keeping People Under the Sword].

The city planning of the new alliance is mainly done by the players. Although the design concept of the 21st century is sufficient for the wasteland, it is inevitable that negligence will occur when copying it.

Being able to communicate more with experts on the wasteland will not only be of great benefit to the future development of the new alliance, but will also definitely help the players' personal development.

"The design of the drainage system really can't be sloppy! Can you please communicate with our designer about the specific improvement plan?"

Unexpectedly, Chu Guang paid so much attention to his opinion, butan was surprised, and couldn't help showing a hint of joy on his face, and immediately patted his chest to pack the tickets.

"No problem! I'll just stay here for a few days. I'll help you find a way to see if you can improve the design."

And this good thing? !
Of course Chu Guang would not refuse, and immediately said happily.

"Great, I'll trouble you then!"

Butan smiled embarrassingly, "No trouble, it's a trivial matter. On the other hand, I need to ask you to take care of me!"

Chu Guang said with a smile: "That's for sure! Don't worry, just leave it to me!"

……

The construction site of Dawn City.

Construction of the sewers was halted.

Squatting on the concrete pier, people under the knife stared at the circled drawings in their hands, scratched their ears and scratched their heads, and their scalps were almost scratched.

When he received the task just now, the manager called him over and introduced him to an old man who is said to be studying environmental engineering.

At the beginning, keeping people under the knife didn't take it seriously, it was just a plot.

However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as the manager introduced the old man to him, the old man took his blueprint and pointed at him non-stop.

VM solves the problem of communication.

Someone pointed fingers at his blueprint, and he immediately became unhappy about keeping someone under the knife, and immediately started arguing with the old man.

However, after arguing for a while, he suddenly began to realize that what the other party said seemed to make sense.

And more than that.

This is embarrassing...

Ma Kabazi who passed by saw it, and couldn't help but leaned over curiously.

"What's wrong bro?"

The man under the knife sighed.

"I don't understand..."

He told Ma Kabazi what happened just now.

The latter scratched his head and said in a daze.

"All in all, it's... an NPC who thinks there is a problem with your design? And now the sewer construction has been stopped?"

"Yes." Daoxialiuren nodded honestly.

Makabazi was startled.

"Damn it, what do NPCs know?"

"No... this NPC is different from other NPCs, and there is something to say." Daoxia Liuren sighed.

While talking, he even felt like he was back in class.

Whether it is the design concept or the design idea, the academic level and professional level displayed by the other party made him doubt whether the person standing in front of him was an NPC or a "professor" wearing an NPC coat.

Thinking about it is really nostalgic.

How many years have you been working?
Although I am not a master in the fields of civil engineering and urban planning, and I haven't worked in the front line for a while, my experience is definitely nothing to say.

The more I think about keeping people under the knife, the more puzzled I become.

A gaming company.

As for making such trivial matters so professional?

Makaba scratched his head.

"Then what's the matter now?"

He doesn't know anything about how to design and how to construct. In reality, he doesn't do this kind of work. As a strength department, he only knows how to make miracles with great strength.

Anyway, there are so many bosses in this game, so he doesn't need to think so much.

"It's not very neat, let's change it according to his method first." Dao Xialiuren sighed, patted his pants and stood up, "Call the foremen of the aid team for a meeting."

"There are new work arrangements."

……

The next morning.

The northern suburb of Qingquan City.

Amidst the drumbeat of the band and the cheers of the people, the train full of victory and glory drove into the station in the north of Dawn City with a long whistle.

People held flower baskets and threw flower petals to the train, celebrating the victory of the soldiers.

The boys chased each other, laughed and romped at the fringes of the crowd, and played war games, taking turns being good soldiers and evil marauders.

The rumble of the train can be used as an accompaniment.

Although the real battlefield is far more cruel than the script they can imagine.

Most of the girls stood beside their parents, looking at the train with eyes full of curiosity and longing.

Quietly pulling Shuangxue's sleeve, Shuanghe who was standing next to his father lowered his voice and said softly with the corner of his mouth bent.

"...do you feel your heart beating faster?"

Shuangxue blushed and glared at her sister, but her eyes did not move away from the train.

Shuang Ye, the youngest, blinked her eyes, not quite understanding what the eldest sister and second sister were discussing.

The guards of Dawn City formed a long line beside the railway to maintain order on the scene and keep the crowd away from the railway to avoid accidents.

However, even so, it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the residents of Dawn City like waves.

The war is over!
This is without a doubt an epic victory!
Those barbarians who drink blood can no longer threaten the peace and prosperity of Dawn City.

Praise the Union!

Kudos to the managers!
Thanks to the warriors of the crusade, who with their swords cut through evil—

Each of them is a hero!

Standing in the cab of the train, looking at the happy faces outside the train window, Chu Guang couldn't help showing a gratified smile on his face.

He patted the conductor's seat lightly.

"Slow down, let our soldiers enjoy the joy of victory for a while longer."

The train conductor nodded with a smile.

"Okay, my lord!"

A long siren sounded, and the train slowly slowed down.

At the same time, the carriages in the back were equally lively.

"Oh, oh, is this the capital of the new alliance!" He pressed his face to the car window, his eyes were full of excitement, and Pai wanted to stick his head out.

Seeing this, Yuan Feng quickly stretched out his hand and pulled the restless little girl back, staring at her and scolding her.

"Be quiet! Have you forgotten what your teacher said to you? You represent the image of all the residents of Camp 101... Do you want to embarrass everyone?"

Pai pouted sullenly, and stole a sideways glance.

"It's not just me..."

It's true she's not alone.

Compared with the behavior of the players, she has been relatively restrained.

For example, a certain tail not only stuck its face to the car window, but even its nose was squeezed and deformed.

"My giao! Little fish! Woohoo, cute little fish, I must want to die!"

Sisi, who was sitting by the side, sighed softly.

"Ah Wei, wake up, your little fish is obviously going to meet the manager, right?"

"I don't care! I'm going to kiss the little fish!" Tail shouted.

Hearing this, the big white bear sitting across from the two of them suddenly became unhappy, and even raised his eyebrows... although it was not obvious.

"Shut up! The little fish is obviously mine!"

Tail was taken aback.

"Hey! You sloppy slut, are you worthy of Teddy!?"

"What the hell is Teddy, don't mess with my CP!"

"Stop arguing...how about eating one by one?"

The cat ears on the top of the head were shaking uncomfortably, and the sesame paste tried to appease the rambunctious one and the bear.

Sisi, who was sitting next to him, sighed and reminded him helplessly.

"...I can understand your feelings, but against the wishes of the NPC, if you plot against the NPC, you will be kicked off the assembly line."

At this time, a gentle electronic sound sounded in the compartment.

Not human language.

But Mandarin.

"Hello, respected players, the train is about to arrive, and the residents of the new alliance are welcoming us in triumph. I hope everyone pays attention to their words and deeds, and don't be too exaggerated, which will affect the collective image."

"Because of the one-person-one-number mechanism, the account of the dead society cannot be canceled, so please at least behave like a normal person when going through the plot!"

Tail immediately turned his face away from the car window.

"Huh? Was that the voice of planning just now?"

Sis looked at the horn on the roof of the car.

"...Who knows."

The train arrives at the station.

flowers.

applause.

And cheers!

It's all coming like a flood!
Feeling the rushing enthusiasm, the players who walked out of the carriage couldn't help being in a daze for a while.

It feels like...

They are real heroes.

No, it cannot be said as if, it should be said that it is!
They guarded one side of the world!
The sense of honor and spiritual satisfaction that they have never felt from other games germinated in their hearts like germinated seeds.

This sense of accomplishment that goes deep into the soul is far from being comparable to a few lines of cold numbers and a few lines of text in the conclusion of customs clearance.

Looking at the flowers that were forcibly stuffed into their hands, the construction site boy and Brick muttered in a daze.

"This game is too real..."

"Thank you!"

Smiling, Irena took the flowers from the little girl's hand, and Irena politely said thank you.

Watching the red-faced girl get into the crowd, he stared at the flowers in his hand, and suddenly moved closer to smell them curiously.

In the end, he couldn't hold back, he reached out and picked one off, and threw it into his mouth.

Emmm...

Is the taste okay?

The mole on the run in the canyon standing next to it happened to see this scene, and cast a surprised look at Lao Na.

"Hey! Don't you even let flowers go?"

Irene said naturally.

"What if the buff can be added?"

How do you know if you don't try it?

Isn't that how the BUFF of monster meat and physique came out of the test?

Mole couldn't help complaining.

"There's a ghost buff!"

This guy must be crazy!

On the platform of the train station, surrounded by flowers, Chu Guang got off the train. Looking at Boss Xia, Xiao Yu, Yu Hu, Old Charlie, Luca and the others in the crowd, Chu Guang couldn't help smiling.

"I am back."

"Congratulations on your triumphant return. Dear Master Manager, we have prepared a banquet for you to celebrate your victory." Old Charlie said respectfully.

"It's good that you're safe and sound." Seeing Chu Guang who was intact, Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief.

The pale yellow flowers were stored in the palm of her hand, but she was too shy to hand them out in the end.

"Thank you."

Looking at the people who supported him, Chu Guang nodded with a smile.

Although his hands were almost full, he still reached out and took all the flowers in everyone's hands.

After returning home, plant them near the nursing home.

Looking at the azure armor covered with colorful petals, Xia Yan muttered in a low voice.

"Aren't you hot wearing this iron bump every day? It's almost summer."

Chu Guang smiled slightly and said proudly.

"You don't understand this. This iron bump has its own air conditioner, so it's warm in winter and cool in summer. Do you want to try wearing it?"

Xia Yan blushed.

"You... said something strange."

Chu Guang: "...?"

He thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong with his words.

There must be something wrong with the listener.

The triumphal ceremony lasted from early morning to noon.

The celebration banquet and carnival lasted from noon to night.

I'm afraid tons of fine wine and food were consumed throughout the day today.

However, even the old Luca, who pursues thrift, would not say much on this occasion.

Celebrate for shared victories.

After tonight, those who came together to survive will be more united than yesterday.

The night was getting darker.

Unfinished players went offline one after another.

However, the lively atmosphere was far from over, and they were brought to the forum on the official website.

While they are having fun in the game, people outside the game are not idle.

The market for silver coins has completely entered a fever pitch.

Bills of astronomical figures emerged one after another, and the big gold masters who came from nowhere seemed to be on top, frantically throwing money back to recover the silver coins in the hands of the players.

Seeing that the price was showing signs of losing its mind, the game official finally came forward.

And issued two announcements in a row.

[Due to server network fluctuations, the silver coin trading platform is temporarily suspended for one day]

[Special Event: Special Loot Auction has officially started! 】
