This game is too real.

Chapter 358

"Gracey Clinic, welcome!"

Fang Chang was startled by the sudden voice from the shadows, and almost pulled out his gun.

Upon closer inspection, it was the puppet in the window that spoke.

It has an ordinary face, its eyes are two red stones, and its mouth is perfunctorily pasted with two pieces of wood, like an aged puppet, hiding in a dark and damp corner.

Dolly, who was standing beside her, made a joke and said.

"You're not the first to be scared."

Fang Chang took his hand out of his pocket and said with a speechless face.

"...Didn't the owner of this clinic consider that putting such a signboard will scare away his clients?"

"Normally, his guests don't mind a little fright..."

Patting him on the shoulder, Dolly walked ahead, "Come with me."

This unremarkable alley is located on the edge of the west side of Boulder City, far away from the most prosperous neighborhood, but somewhat close to the industrial area of ​​Boulder City.

The exhaust gas from the factory makes the air here smell bad, and most of the people living here are nearby workers, or some poor people who help nearby factories do simple jobs.

Following the girl's footsteps, Fang Chang walked into the clinic hidden in a dark alley.

Maybe because it is daytime, there is no business here, and it looks very deserted.

Dolly led him straight through the narrow registration hall to a room hidden deep in the corridor.

There was an oil-stained curtain hanging on the door of the room, and the smell of motor oil was obviously not what a clinic should have.

Fang Chang had a weird expression on his face.

"...I thought that these uncirculated commodities would be hidden in more secret places."

"Isn't that secret enough?"

Dolly asked casually, and stretched out her hand to open the door curtain.

As Fang Chang guessed, the so-called "black market" is here.

It's just that he didn't expect that those things that ordinary stores would not sell were so blatantly placed on the shelves, and they were listed in a whole row.

These prosthetics come in all varieties, from shoddy wood-carved ones to bionic parts that are nearly identical to the real thing.

Fang Chang even saw a life-sized doll that was almost exactly like a real person in a closet in a corner.

Empty eyes seem to suck the soul, if there is such a thing in this world.

This thing should be a bionic person.

Fang Chang stepped forward, intending to take a closer look, but just glanced at the price on the label, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​buying one and going back to study it.

5 chips...

It is equivalent to a set of heavy cavalry exoskeleton!

He's crazy to spend such a big price to buy something that can't be seen to be of any use.

"If you want to find a bed partner, I heard that clones are more cost-effective." Dolly, who folded her arms, whistled and said in a joking tone.

"...I haven't thought about it that way, can you be more subtle in your expression."

Looking away from the transparent cabinet, Fang Chang looked at the shelf directly opposite.

The prices here are obviously much more reasonable, the most expensive ones are only in the early 6000s, and the cheapest ones are mostly around 3 figures.

He found that the more sophisticated the small parts are, the more expensive they are. For example, most electronic eyes cost more than 5000, while mechanical arms and legs are relatively cheaper.

Just then, he noticed a strange shelf.

Unlike the products on other shelves, the prosthetic prosthetics placed here don't look right no matter how you look at them.

For example, one of the arms is not connected to fingers, but a barrel that can be inserted into a whole fist. Combined with the mechanical parts next to it, it looks like a self-loading hand cannon.

Fang Chang seriously doubted that if he really loaded this thing and fired a shot, would he be able to hit someone? In addition, he said that his shoulder blade would definitely be destroyed.

Maybe there are other matching parts?
In addition, there are arms equipped with foldable mantis knives, and prosthetic legs connected to jet propulsion.

None of these things look like they're meant for the average person, either in form or function.

They were born to serve the battlefield.

Fang Chang couldn't help but have a trace of curiosity in his eyes, and he blurted out to ask.

"Where did the equipment come from?"

Before Dolly could answer, a strange voice suddenly came from the side.

"There are many ways, some are picked up, some are accidentally lost inventory, most of the goods are processed, as long as you are not too high-profile, there will be no problem... As for where it came from, I advise you It’s better not to delve too deeply into this.”

Fang Chang looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a middle-aged man with a bald head standing beside the door curtain.

He was wearing a blue-green gown with a pair of scissors hanging on his pocket, stained with blood that had not completely dried up, and he looked like he had just come out of the operating room.

"...Are you Gracie?" Fang Chang looked at him and asked.

The middle-aged man nodded, as long as he looked at him with interest.

"Yes, what about you? What's your name?"

"Fang Chang."

"Fang Chang...a strange name," Gracie stared at him for a while, suddenly a hint of bewilderment appeared in his eyes, and asked, "Are you a resident of the shelter?"

Fang Chang didn't hide it.

"Is there a problem?"

Dolly, who was standing aside with her arms folded, coughed, and interrupted Fang Chang's injustice.

"...Don't you think it's impolite to inquire about the origin of the guests?"

"Sorry, I was talking too much..."

Gracie chuckled, her eyes flicked back and forth between Dolly and Fang Chang twice, and ended the previous topic without a trace.

"Let's get down to business, what kind of bionic organ do you want? I don't think you look like someone without arms or legs... Do you want to make yourself bigger? Or stronger?"

"I'm more interested in power," Fang Chang glanced at the shelf at hand, "like these."

There was a look of surprise in Gracie's eyes, and her tone was involuntarily filled with excitement.

"Oh? These? It seems that you are a knowledgeable person. These are all good things."

"Can you introduce me?" Fang Chang said.

Gracie laughed.

"Introduction? Their functions are all written on their faces. Do you need me to introduce them? The mercenary group sponsored by Jushi Military Industry uses these guys. It only needs a surgical operation to make a hand unrestrained. A rookie with great strength has the fighting power of a veteran who has experienced many battles."

"There is no need to worry about the power. Their presence here is the best proof of their value."

A mercenary group sponsored by Jushi Military Industry?

There was a hint of surprise in Fang Chang's eyes, and he couldn't help asking curiously.

"Is this kind of equipment common in the mercenary regiment sponsored by Jushi Military Industry?"

Gracie: "It's okay. The rich and powerful Lord Ibers has never been stingy with investment in this area. Compared with dragon blood, the bionic prosthetic body is undoubtedly more direct in enhancing combat effectiveness. A jet propulsion system, plus With a Mantis Knife and a 30mm hand cannon, even the Death Claws will have to walk around you... Of course, this is in theory, and I don't mind if you have to treat such a bad-tempered guy as an opponent."

In theory it's fine.

Fang Chang pondered, except for Mr. Garbage and the guy who got the plasma knife, it is estimated that few people would be keen on close combat.

So far, the game has not seen an "absolutely reliable" shield that can effectively resist damage from projectiles.

No matter how powerful the fighting skills are, they are not as direct as a 20mm high-explosive bomb.

Fang Chang: "...these are all eliminated from the battlefield?"

"Generally, there are, and occasionally there are cases of updating equipment, but this is not the case, after all, it is not cheap."

As he spoke, Gracie suddenly raised his eyebrows, and looked at Fang Chang with a trace of suspicion in his eyes.

"Hey, are you here to buy something, or to inquire about something?"

Fang Chang didn't answer the question, but just glanced at the shelf in front of him and pointed.

"I want everything on it."

The air in the room was quiet for a moment.

Dolly stared at Fang Chang dumbfounded.

"Are you crazy?! Buying so much... Do you know how many chips it costs?"

With an AI core, two bionics can come out.

Maybe there are more!
Gracie, too, had an even more exaggerated look of shock than Dolly.

"27 pieces of equipment, a total of 56671 chips...I don't accept credit here."

"I didn't plan to pay on credit either." Fang Chang took out a card and shook it lightly, "Can I swipe the card?"

"Or... I have to go to the bank to take out the chips first?"

……

Swiping a card is naturally impossible.

After all, the products sold here have some problems on the way.Fang Chang first went to the bank to withdraw the money, and then returned to the clinic.

As the first player to explore the map of Boulder City, he and his good brothers did business in Boulder City a long time ago.

Earlier, the equipment for firing bricks and cement in Niuma Brick Factory was imported from here.

Fang Chang still remembered that he was the one who wrote the earliest article about how to run a business in Boulder City on the forum.

Among them, the most profitable one is undoubtedly the spirit leaf, followed by the blue umbrella mushroom and so on.

In addition to these commodities with high unit prices, there are also some varieties with small profits but quick turnover.

For example, if you buy a box of Nuka-Cola and sell it to Boulder City, you can earn a profit of 0.5 chips per bottle.

Although the common people could not afford this kind of drink, as a substitute for alcoholic drinks, this kind of cheap and short-lived drink was very popular among mercenaries.

Later, the drinking method of cola mixed with wine was brought back to Boulder City by the mercenaries from the tavern in Dawn City, which made the sales of Nuka-Cola hit a peak.

Others may be short of chips, but for the cattle and horse team, there is no such problem at all.

At present, their account in Boulder City has a chip reserve of about [-].

This money has nothing to do with the business of the brick factory, it is mainly earned through the business system.

Fang Chang communicated with Lao Bai and they quickly reached an agreement on the purchase of bionic equipment.

I don't care if it's good or not, I'll buy a batch first and have a look.

Even if it is not used in the end, it can be sold to other players, or donated to the scientific research team for contribution points.

Someone is bound to be interested in this stuff.

"...It turns out that chips with a face value of 1 look like this."

Looking at the chip with the crown pattern printed on the edge, Dolly murmured softly.

Those eyes were full of surprise, what happened before her eyes was beyond her cognition.

She originally thought that this guy had a little money, was a bit generous, and was not very smart, so he spent so much on her, but she didn't expect him to spend such an astronomical sum without saying a word .

Dolly suddenly realized that she couldn't understand the guy in front of her.

Who the hell is it that can casually take out such a large sum of chips...

Unlike Dolly, who was already dumbfounded, Gracie seemed to be a different person instantly after seeing the huge sum of money. Not only did her eyes become hotter, but she also became more enthusiastic.

He respectfully counted the chips twice, and then scanned them twice with the cash detector.

After confirming that there was no problem, he looked at Fang Chang with a flattering smile on his face.

"Do you need me to install it for you? I can provide surgery services for free."

In Gracie's eyes, the identity of the man in front of him has become the head of a certain mercenary group.

After all, it is impossible for normal people to buy so many bionic prosthetic bodies, only the mercenary group will have such a demand.

And the mercenary group that has the ability to take out tens of thousands of chips to replace the bionic prosthesis for its subordinates is without exception a powerful party.

"No need, just pack it up for me. I've arranged for someone to carry it. You don't need to worry about the rest," Fang Chang handed him a business card. I can be found through the address and contact information on this business card."

"Equipment other than the bionic prosthetic body is also fine, as long as it is a weapon, especially a weapon related to the megalithic military industry."

"Definitely! Hehe." Gracie took the business card with both hands, glanced at it hastily, and surprise appeared in her eyes.

Alliance office in Boulder City?
He's from the northern suburbs? !

……

27 bionic prosthetic bodies are packed in 6 boxes. Although each is not very big, it cannot be moved by one person.

Fang Chang hired the NPC in the office and moved the box back to the save point first.

After working all day, it was getting late, Fang Zhang treated Dolly to a meal, and then sent her back to the neighborhood.

Standing at the door of the apartment, Dolly stared at the man in front of her for a while, and suddenly a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes.

"...Who are you?"

Fang Chang didn't speak, but took out a chip with a face value of 25 from his pocket, and handed it to her with a smile.

"The chip in the morning is just a deposit, thank you for staying with me all day."

Just a few hours ago, he unlocked a new "hidden mission" - recovering black equipment from the black market that Jushi Military Industry does not sell.

The new alliance needs to use these equipment to understand the strength of the neighbor at the door.

Just looking at the description of the mission, you can know how important the mission is.

At least it is much more important than the two he triggered before.

It seems that the black market system of Boulder City is not unfinished, but requires players to actively trigger it.

Unexpectedly, the degree of completion of the game world is higher than what I imagined.

Fang Chang couldn't help feeling a burst of emotion in his heart. He thought he had dug out the unfinished content of the plan, but this wave of A Guang directly stood in the atmosphere, and even completed the corresponding tasks, occupations and gameplay.

It's just that no one has triggered it.

According to the brief introduction of the "Hidden Mission" mission, the managers of the alliance do not want a large group of players to harass the black market merchant and block the way to import these unknown equipment.

Therefore, the manager specially granted him the hidden occupation of "Big Rock City Black Market Purchaser".

This profession has no level setting and does not occupy a career slot. It can only be triggered through hidden tasks. It has the "franchise right" to import bionic prosthetic bodies from Boulder City and sell them in Dawn City.

It has exceeded Fang Chang's expectations to have such a harvest.

Although the NPC in front of him was not worthy of his enthusiasm for licking the manager, he still couldn't help saying thank you.

"……You're welcome."

Looking at the green chip in her hand, Dolly did not refuse, and silently put it away.

After a while, she whispered.

"We'll meet again... right?"

"Of course, I still have a lot of things to ask you." Fang Chang said with a smile.

Although he also thought about convincing this guy to live in the northern suburbs, after thinking about it, it would be nice to have an "informant" who is familiar with the local situation.

There are still many places he doesn't know about Boulder City to explore.

"Well...that's settled! You have to take care of yourself." Dolly had a happy smile on her face, and her short green hair came alive under the setting sun.

"You too, take care."

It would be nice to have an NPC friend too.

Watching the petite figure disappear at the door of the apartment building, Fang Chang smiled and waved his hand, then turned and walked towards the other side of the street.

……

At the same time, the East District of Qingquan City.

At the entrance of the subway station covered with moss and vines, an uninformed yell suddenly sounded, which scared the squirrels on the tree nearby, and one fell to the ground, screaming angrily.

However, the man didn't pay attention to it, and was still acting stupid to himself.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

this tree!

This light!

And this oncoming wind!

It's just a blast, okay?

Staring blankly at the midsummer forest in front of him, Lin Shengyu looked around in a daze.

That looks like a fool who just got out of the hospital.

And it's the kind of abandonment of treatment.

As for why he is here, we have to start from a sunny afternoon.

Since the boss was having a meeting outside, he hadn't decided on a new research direction yet. As a scientific research brick mover, he had no work to do, so he searched for some games on the Internet, and happened to learn about the urban legend of "Wasteland OL".

In fact, it is said to be an urban legend, and many people know about it. However, it is not known whether it is the official current limit or what is the reason. It is rare to see related reports and public discussions on other platforms.

Out of curiosity, he took 20 precious minutes of his life to fill out the appointment form carefully.

Nothing happened at the beginning, he thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he put it behind him.

However, not long after, one day when he came home from get off work from the research institute, he picked up the mysterious package containing the helmet at the door of his house.

His mood at that time cannot be described in words.

Especially when he puts on the helmet, the mysterious countdown that can be seen even with his eyes closed almost subverts his worldview and cognition.

But all the surprises and shocks are too pale and small at this moment.

He is standing in a completely empty world!

Use his feet!
While Lin Shengyu was fussing and looking around, other players around him were also looking at him curiously.

"Is this the Emperor Ou?"

"It looks so stupid."

"Let's go, my curiosity is satisfied, I'm going to get up in a while."

At this moment, a player with a rifle in his left hand and a dead monkey in his right walked up and spoke to him.

"Brother, why are you alone?"

Lin Shengyu: "...alone?"

Elena asked curiously.

"That's right, doesn't the Emperor Ou have two?"

Lin Shengyu was stunned, feeling completely out of touch with the topic.

"Emperor Europe?"

Irene stared at him for a moment with a strange expression on her face.

"Don't you usually go to the forum?"

Playing MMORPG without going to the forum to brag about it is almost half the fun.

24 hours a day, he can't wait to spend 12 hours in the game and 12 hours funny on the forum.

"Forum? What year is this? Who still plays with that thing?" Lin Shengyu couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry.

Irena scratched her head.

"Okay... what's your ID name? Add a friend."

"Cuckoo!"

"Giggle? Your name is unique enough," Irena froze for a moment.

"Cough... Take it casually, take it casually, don't take it to heart." Lin Shengyu smiled shyly.

He actually wanted to be called Cuckoo Chicken, but his ID had already been registered, so he changed it to this name.

I heard that the game mainly relies on voice communication.

He felt embarrassed when he thought that everyone would call him brother and praise him for being great in the future.

"By the way, brother... how to play this game?"

Irena scratched her head.

"You can play however you want, hunting, fishing, moving bricks or even playing with mud... as long as you don't break the rules. But you are a novice, I suggest you take the task of passing on the torch first, and find a thigh to guide you to familiarize yourself How to play, get the VM by the way."

As we all know, VM is the core of this game, and many things cannot be done without VM.

There is a full-time novice guide in the shelter, who was previously served by the manager himself, but now he is an officer of the New Alliance Guard.

Through the NPC's VM, you can trigger the task of passing the torch to find high-level thighs.

Or it is also possible to directly find a player who is pleasing to the eye to trigger on the scene.

The server environment of "Wasteland OL" has always been good, and everyone is a very good person.

Especially for Mengxin, it is quite friendly!

Lin Shengyu said with a smile.

"The task of passing on the torch, I took that one, my master seems to be called WC really have mosquitoes? He said that he will come here to pick me up to the main city tomorrow, and let me stay here and not move around."

Upon hearing the ID, Irena was shocked instantly.

"Damn it, mosquito?!"

"Uh, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Irena looked at this dear friend sympathetically, and mourned for him for two seconds in her heart.

It's not good to choose anyone, but I chose this cheating bastard.

Although the equipment produced by Goblin Technology is OK, working for Goblin Technology is another matter.

Many people experienced rebirth and imprisonment before they had time to experience the complete content of the game.

Out of sympathy, Irena paused and said.

"If you plan to go to the main city, you might as well go with me. Anyway, I have to go back now, so I just happen to be on my way."

"But..." Lin Shengyu had a hesitant expression on his face. He heard the mosquitoes say that the wasteland is very dangerous, so Mengxin must remember not to go out alone.

There is no real safe zone here, even at the door of the house, there is a risk of giving in vain.

"Let's go, don't be fooled, can I still cheat you? The vicinity of Shelter 117 is not a place for cute new leveling at all. I will take you to Dawn City. There are many good things there, and there are also save points." Irena patted him on the shoulder and urged, "Speaking of which, you haven't eaten since you just entered the game, right? I invite you to rub your hands."

"Really?! I'm so sorry!" Lin Shengyu's eyes lit up, just as he felt his stomach was a little empty.

Elena said generously.

"What's the matter, everyone is Ouhuang, don't be so shy, do you have any taboos?"

Lin Shengyu chuckled.

"No, I'll eat anything, it's up to you to arrange!"

Upon hearing this, Irena's eyes lit up.

"Really? Are you sure?"

"That's a must! Whether it's sour, salty, sweet or spicy, there's nothing I can't eat!" Lin Shengyu said, patting his chest.

This is not his bragging.

He often travels with his tutor and attends academic conferences all over the world. What hasn't he eaten?

A good stomach.

It is also very important for scientific research.

Unexpectedly, this friend of the Emperor of Europe is still a fellow, Irena hooked his shoulder happily.

"Brother, I'll just wait for your words! Let's go, let's go get some wild game!"

"Let's go!"

Looking at the two people who were shoulder to shoulder, the players around them showed sympathy in their eyes.

What kind of godly luck is it that you can step on two landmines at the same time on the first day of entering the game.

Or is it that in order to win the game helmet, I have overdrawn my luck in this life...

"...This sacrifice is too great." The elf king Fugui, who was carrying a shotgun, sighed and took a bite of the dry food in his hand.

The mole on the run in the canyon nodded subtly.

"really."

Hope people are okay.

……

The game world has just entered night, and the real world is morning.

Sitting up from the bed, Ye Wei took off his helmet, heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table.

The time is exactly 7 o'clock in the morning.

Usually when there is no class the next day, he will play until nine or ten o'clock before going offline.

However, he had to go to the station to pick up his older sister later, so he got off early.

By the way, just now he, Mr. Garbage and Fengfeng were doing the task of cleaning up the underground tunnel.

There are massive slime mold fruiting bodies, and even tyrants known as humanoid tanks.

According to Fang Chang's prediction, Qingquan city center may become a popular area in the next version.

Train the slime mold fruiting body as an opponent in advance, which can be regarded as adapting to the next version in advance.

However, no matter how fun the game is, no matter how profitable it is, it is not as important as family members.

After eating a bowl of 0.1 silver hot dry noodles downstairs, Ye Wei took off a free paper towel and wiped his mouth, then took a taxi to the train station.

The whole process cost less than one silver coin.

Standing in the crowded station square, Ye Wei couldn't help feeling emotional.

Still cheap in reality.

At this moment, a voice from a distance pulled him back from his daydream to reality.

"Brother!"

Ye Wei turned his face to the side and saw a cute little girl in the crowd waving at him.

She was wearing ordinary jeans and a T-shirt, with a pair of sneakers on her feet, a half-person-high suitcase in each of her left and right hands, and a swaying ponytail like a squirrel's tail.

Ye Wei rushed to meet him, glanced at the suitcase and said.

"Why do you bring so many things?"

Seeing that my brother was not conscious at all, Ye Jiu, who was running out of breath, shoved the suitcase into his hand.

"Didn't you ask me to bring it? Don't just look at it, help me quickly!"

This guy.

Let yourself go as soon as you leave the house.

Ye Wei rolled his eyes and went up to take the two boxes without arguing with her.

On the way to the taxi, he weighed it and it was quite heavy, and he didn't know what was in it.

Every day he lay on the bed carrying bricks, and when he put the suitcase in the trunk, he almost didn't pick it up.

Fortunately, the driver master helped him.

Sitting next to Ye Wei, Ye Jiu laughed and said in a low voice.

"Brother, have you been playing video games every day lately? It looks so fake."

Ye Wei sent the second supercilious look of the day.

"Fuck off."

Ye Jiu said with an aggrieved face.

"I just came here and you let me go. Is there a brother like you?"

Ye Wei looked at her seriously and said.

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me clearly, what is the surprise you want to give me?"

He has been thinking about this for the past few days, and he is so worried that he can hardly sleep.

Although he usually does not sleep.

Seeing the anxious expression on his brother's face, Ye Jiu smiled mysteriously.

"Hmph, you'll know in a while!"

The car quickly arrived at its destination.

It stopped at the gate of a high-end residential area.

Ye Jiu, who jumped out of the car, looked around curiously.

"You were taken care of by a rich woman?"

When Ye Wei, who was dragging the suitcase out of the trunk, heard this, he almost choked on his saliva.

"You little guy, what's on your head all day?"

The driver next to him didn't speak, but his expression was obviously holding back a smile.

Ye Jiu smiled shyly and said disapprovingly.

"I'm not worried about my brother."

"By the way, why are you renting a house outside? Do you have a girlfriend? Have you lived together? How old are you? Is it a classmate? Or a big sister who has already worked? Is it a rich woman? Can you take care of me by the way?"

She asked a series of questions curiously, but only the first one got into Ye Wei's ears.

rent?
Finally, he who had waited for the opportunity to play tricks laughed, and said calmly like an old dog.

"Grandpa bought it."

He thought that the old girl would be speechless in surprise.

However, what he didn't expect was that instead of being shocked, the little guy actually rolled his eyes like himself.

"Tch, forget it if you don't want to say it!"

Ye Wei froze for a moment, and said anxiously.

"I'm telling the truth, I really bought it!"

Ye Jiu gave him a loving look.

"Ah yes yes yes."

Ye Wei: "..."

Boil!
Downstairs is not a place for nonsense, Ye Wei carried two large suitcases and got on the elevator.

The little guy on the elevator has been dangling restlessly, looking left and right, not knowing whether he is looking forward to his brother's new home, or the surprise that will be brought to him...or the shock.

Ye Wei panicked.

When he reached the door, he took out his key and opened it, and found two new slippers in the hallway.

This is what he went downstairs to buy yesterday.

Just as he was about to call Jiujiu to change, he saw that the little girl could not wait to squat beside the suitcase and opened the suitcase.

"What are you looking for?"

Jiujiu didn't reply to him, suddenly hugged a big guy, and stood up from the side of the box.

"Here, take it!"

Seeing what Jiujiu stuffed in, Ye Wei was instantly dumbfounded.

What the hell!

Gaming helmet? !
"...where did you get it???"

　If possible, I would like to write as much as possible about the growth of characters and powers together. Sometimes the update may be a little slower, but to be honest, we are really not short... I will try to write as much content as possible
