This game is too real.

Chapter 362 Daily life of players and messages from companies
Looking at the rough press card in her hand, Dolly walked out of the newspaper with a dazed expression on her face.

10 minutes ago, she had completed the entry procedures with Hal's help, and then she was told to report here on time at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.

It all happened so suddenly that she didn't recover from it at all.

Looking at Fang Chang who was half a step ahead, she suddenly raised her head and asked.

"...wait a minute, why should I be a reporter?"

Faced with the girl's question, Fang Chang said in a casual tone.

"Because I feel that you are quite good at inquiring about news."

"But... I haven't done this job before." Dolly's expression was a little uncomfortable.

In her opinion, it was entirely due to this guy's favor that she got the job.

What if you mess up yourself?
and many more……

Dolly's chest suddenly jumped, and all the things that happened today were suddenly connected together in her mind.

Is it...

He accepted the commission of 25 chips not to get close to the bank president's daughter, but to help me get this job because of Hal's favor...

When this sudden thought appeared in her mind, she felt that her brain had become a boiling boiler.

Blank in the heat.

"Doesn't everything start from the first time? The first time I used a bow and arrow, I almost missed even a standing hyena."

Fang Chang didn't pay attention to the change in the girl's thoughts beside him, but continued with a smile.

"...And, didn't you say that it's the same everywhere in the world? You might as well try in another environment, maybe life will give you a different answer."

"With a stable job, you also have time to pursue some healthy hobbies... such as raising a pot of succulents? That's how the word should be pronounced."

He is not very proficient in human-linked language. Although he expresses one meaning in many cases, it means another meaning completely when he hears it in other people's ears.

But after getting along for a long time, I guess it should not be a big problem.

Fang Chang believed that this little girl should be able to understand the meaning conveyed by her words.

The salary offered by the newspaper is in accordance with the standards of the new alliance. The minimum wage is 1 silver coin per hour, and 12 silver coins for working 12 hours a day.Converted into chips, there are 180 chips in a month.

That's almost double what you earn working at the Boulder factory!
The money is enough for her to repay the monthly loan of 50 chips and pay the rent of 52 chips.

After the probationary period is over, the salary will go up.There are additional bonuses if important news is collected.

However, Hal's description of "important news" is very general, saying only "things that people care about."

Obviously, the rookie president himself doesn't know what people care about.

There has never been a newspaper designed for ordinary people in outer cities.

Everyone is exploring.

Whether it is a newspaper office or an employee of a newspaper office.

But what Dolly is thinking about at the moment is not about work, nor the future life that Fang Chang described for her, or the pot of succulents that has not been placed in front of the window.

Dolly stared blankly at Fang Chang for a while, and after hearing him speak vividly in non-standard human couplets for a long time, a narrow smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"I see, you don't want me to work in a bar, right? Worried that I will be eaten tofu?"

Before the stunned Fang Chang could speak, she continued on her own.

"Don't worry, no one is interested in the smell of motor oil on me except a weirdo like you."

Fang Chang stared at her dumbfounded, and was stunned for a while, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Did you hear what I just said?"

If I had to say it, it was really worrying to see this little girl working in the bar.

After all, the bars on that street are not good places.

But this is obviously not the main reason.

Of all the people he knew, Ye Shi's stinky brother seemed to have the potential to become Luo Li's control.

For an adult like him, of course the big billion point is more in line with his aesthetics.

However, Dolly didn't care about Fang Chang's reaction.

The corners of her thin lips were turned upwards, and she stretched out her hands while walking behind, and pushed on the back of the guy in front of her.

"Let's go!"

"Go...where?"

"Of course it's for dinner. To celebrate my new job, why don't you have a drink together?"

With a big smile on her face, Dolly said happily.

"I invite you! Don't dawdle, I just know a good restaurant!"

Seeing the girl walking briskly to the front, Fang Chang was slightly taken aback, and a smile appeared on his face.

It seems that I have done a good thing.

In the same happy mood, he made a joke with the NPC in front of him.

"Then I'm not being polite to you."

Dolly gave a smirk.

"Don't be polite, it's a very cheap place anyway!"

……

At the same time, in the north of Dawn City.

In the Yumu District, which is considered by the players to be a treasure trove for spawning monsters, the flames of the explosion soared into the sky.

A tentacled myriad was torn apart by the RPG's high-explosive grenade, and fell to the edge of the forest, splashing a cloud of dust.

Standing all the way to watch, Jiujiu clapped her hands and applauded with sparkling eyes.

"Oh, my brother is amazing!"

Her ID is the same as her screen name, called [Jiu Jiu loves to eat pineapple], and the volunteer she filled out is the intelligence department, and she was very lucky to get the last sequence of the intelligence department in the current version, and there was no "summoning accident", turning into a mouse or Something else.

Ye Shi pressed down the launch tube that was emitting green smoke in his hand, and raised his eyebrows arrogantly.

"Basic exercises should not be six."

The sound of the explosion attracted nearby players.

Many newcomers who have not yet awakened saw this guy using RPG to fight monsters, and called him a prodigal.

"Damn it, hit wild monsters with high-explosive bombs...and use two frankly, are you crazy?"

"The material is gone along with the monster."

"What a prodigal! It's a ghost to make money back!"

"Speaking of which, who is that female player?"

"I haven't seen it before, it's a new face."

"Fuck, wait, is it the Emperor of Europe?!"

Standing next to the farmland with a hoe in hand, Makabazi couldn't help but complained.

"Damn Europeans! Chiguoguo's shady scene! Is this a distortion of human nature or—"

Going up the mountain to fight tigers couldn't take it anymore, so he rolled his eyes.

"What are you farting, aren't you also a beta tester yourself?"

Makaba was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah, I seem to be too... Hahahaha! That's okay!"

tiger:"……"

Ignoring the calls of the salted fish, Ye Shi was about to brag a few words, but found his old sister standing more than ten meters away, hiding far away, just clapping her hands.

"Hey! Don't just look, you have to do it too!"

Jiujiu said with an aggrieved face.

"But, that monster is too ugly... and the tentacles look scary, can we change the place to spawn monsters?"

Ye Shi said angrily.

"This is already the most suitable spot for newcomers to spawn monsters. I'm afraid there is a hammer to use. You have to kill it to become stronger!"

Jiujiu pouted unconvinced.

"By the way, aren't we in the same team? If you spawn monsters, I have experience, right?"

Looking at the chattering brother and sister, Kuangfeng sighed and explained.

"...There is no such statement. All we can do is to help you when you are in danger and keep your experience gains today. As for gaining experience, you must participate in the battle."

It has been almost three days since Jiujiu went online, logically speaking, it should be LV3 long ago.

However, because Ye Shi overprotected her, he couldn't help but make shots, which caused her experience to not improve.

The most authentic part of this game is also here.

If you just stand in the back row OB, although you can get the money and contribution points for the task rewards, but the sequence progress as "experience value" will not be improved at all.

Unless it is the perception system.

As the only sequence that can gain experience, the perception system can gain a small amount of growth as long as it searches for the enemy with the mind.

These are the experiences they have summed up since the alpha0.1 version. Although so many versions have passed, these core settings have not changed.

Of course, Gu Feng felt that part of the reason might be that the conditions of the Beta version were less difficult than those of the Alpha version.

When they first entered the game, there were no Ripper rifles and pu-9 submachine guns, and a bolt-pull iron-barreled rifle could be used as a graduation outfit.

Players in the t1 echelon are still fighting with axes and spears, and the manager has to personally attack a small group of mercenaries.

Assault rifle?

Bazooka?
What the hell is that?

After experiencing the test of death every day, the speed of upgrading is naturally much faster than now.

Jiujiu nodded half-understood.

Although I don't understand it very well, it feels very powerful.

Especially in the game, she is 5 cm taller than in reality, and her tall figure looks like a model.

Just this point, will she blow it up?
This game is simply amazing!

The only regret is that she can't pinch her face and can't show her art skills.

"By the way, do you usually play games together?" Jiujiu asked curiously as he looked back and forth between the old brother and the player who was said to be a physics professor.

The wind nodded.

"I was in a group a long time ago."

"Group?" Jiujiu's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Can you pull me in?"

"No problem, wait a while and go offline—"

"No! NO! Don't let her in!" Before Kuang Feng finished speaking, Ye Shi not far away let out a scream.

Looking at the brother who reacted strongly, Jiujiu couldn't help frowning.

"Why can't you let me in?"

Of course, Ye Shi couldn't talk about the ID, so he scratched his head anxiously and tried to persuade him.

"Jiujiu... Well, listen to me, we are all adults, and we usually talk more openly—"

"They're all more sexual, aren't they?" Before listening to what the old man was saying, Jiujiu's eyes sparkled and said, "It's okay, I'll just take a look and don't talk!"

Boil!
Ye Shi raised his right hand and covered his face.

Looking at Ye Shi with a constipated expression, Kuang Feng coughed dryly.

"It's not so exaggerated... Actually, we rarely even post pictures."

Ye Shi gave him a hard look.

"Why don't you think about your ID before you say this!"

Kuangfeng was stunned for a moment, his expressionless face suddenly turned red, and he turned his face away with a dry cough.

"...Aren't I just kidding?"

"ID?" Jiujiu looked curious, "Isn't it Kuangfeng?"

"...Children, it's better not to ask so many questions," Kuangfeng coughed dryly, looked at the smoking corpse, and changed the subject, "The efficiency of leveling is too low, and this is not an option."

Ye Shi sighed.

"It would be great if elder brother Fang was here, he has a lot of bad ideas."

"Indeed," Kuangfeng nodded in agreement, thought for a moment, and then suddenly said, "But... I have a suggestion."

"What advice?"

"In addition to fighting, the intelligence department can also choose a career in life... I heard that your sister's real major is painting?" Kuangfeng looked at Ye Shi, "Why don't you let Fujiteng take her?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Shi, whose voice was quite loud before, instantly weakened by a few decibels.

"Ah... this, it's not very good, I have already accepted the task of spreading fire, and I asked others to help me lead my apprentice..."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, we often help each other."

"But……"

Looking at the elder brother who suddenly became shy, Jiu Jiu's eyes suddenly flashed a hint of cunning, and said in a lovely and pitiful voice.

"Brother, I'm suddenly interested in life professions..."

Are you interested in a career in life?
He didn't eat her set of Ye Shi at all, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

However, in the end he still couldn't stand his sister's pleading, and sighed with a headache.

"Okay...let me ask for you."

Jiujiu excitedly made a gesture of victory.

"Yeah! Brother is so nice!"

"At that moment you helped me take out the trash."

"Hey, little things! I'll go when I get off the assembly line!"

Looking at the rowdy siblings, Kuangfeng didn't want a smile on his face.

Young is so good.

……

"Ah!"

Rattan House, an old shop in Wetland Park.

Fujiteng, who was sitting behind the counter, sneezed, rubbed his little nose, buried his head and muttered in a low voice, "Who is blackmailing me again?"

Looking at the worried little fish in front of the counter, she straightened her petite body, allowing her gentle and kind smile to rise above the counter.

"...The clothes you ordered are ready, I'll bring them here for you."

A happy smile appeared on Xiaoyu's face.

"Crab!"

"...You're welcome, I should thank you then, for coming to take care of our business."

After going backstage to get a bag of clothes, Fujiteng handed it to Xiaoyu with a soft smile on his face.

"I also made Boss Xia's clothes for her, please take them for her."

"Ok!"

Looking at Xiaoyu who took the clothes, Fujiteng suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen her in the bank for a long time, so he asked curiously.

"Speaking of which, why haven't I seen you at the bank recently?"

"Xiaoyu is going to study abroad!"

"Study...to study?" Fujiteng looked at her in surprise, "...Is it Boulder City?"

By the way, is there a university in the wasteland?

Incredible.

"No," Xiaoyu shook his head, and said crisply, "It's Camp No. 101 in Xizhou City! Brother Chu said, I can learn a lot of knowledge there, so I can help everyone when I come back. busy."

Looking at the sensible little girl, Fujiteng couldn't help reaching out and stroking her hair pamperingly.

"You've always been a help to everyone, now and in the future... Go ahead and be careful out there."

She suddenly felt that the person who said this was like an old mother.Although this unbelievable size was about to be overtaken by Xiaoyu, it was against harmony no matter how you looked at it.

That's what's so frustrating about this game.

It's too much to not be able to average the real height by two centimeters!
But Xiaoyu doesn't care, she and everyone in the settlement are very good friends.

She looked at Fujiteng seriously and said.

"Yeah! Xiaoyu will be careful! Fujitō should be careful too!"

"Of course I will, see you next time."

Seeing the little girl walking to the door, Fujiteng smiled and waved goodbye.

When we meet next time, Xiaoyu might be taller than himself.

But having said that, NPCs with similar human intelligence will notice that their world is virtual, and they players are actually immortal?
A strange idea suddenly appeared in Fujiteng's mind.

Maybe Xiaoyu actually knew that they were a group of immortal people.

Even if the head is chopped off and bombarded to pieces, after three days, they will still crawl out of the training cabin like a normal person.

But even so, she will still treat them as best friends, heal everyone with a warm smile, cheer for everyone, and worry about their safety...

Is this something the game can do?
Fujiteng stroked his chin and muttered in a low voice.

"...that's weird."

Although it's not a very important thing.

……

"I... I'm leaving."

at dusk.

On the platform of the train station, Xia Yan was standing next to the train door with a complicated expression on his face.

Boss Xia, who was always carefree and lazy on weekdays, became sentimental at the moment.

Seeing that she didn't look like herself, Chu Guang couldn't help but make a joke.

"It's only over 100 kilometers, and it's not like I won't come back. Why are you so sad?"

Xia Yan frowned, and was about to say something, but the guy suddenly changed his tone and continued.

"Be careful on the road, just catch fish at work, but don't catch fish while studying."

"Oh... I see, it's really long-winded." Although she complained, she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart.

This feeling of being controlled doesn't seem to be a bad feeling.

"Fishing?" The little fish standing next to Boss Xia tilted his head, his bright eyes filled with confusion.

Chu Guang coughed lightly and explained.

"It means being lazy."

"?"

The little fish who tilted his head was obviously more confused, and didn't understand why touching himself was lazy.

However, there is no time to explain at this moment, the train whistle has already sounded.

The door is closed.

Pai, who was lying on the edge of the car window, waved excitedly at Chu Guang who was on the platform.

"Goodbye, Mr. Manager of Vault 404! I will take good care of Xiaoyu!"

Chu Guang smiled and said.

"I believe in you, and don't forget our agreement by the way."

Pai vigorously gave him a thumbs up and gave him a reliable look.

"Leave it to me with confidence!"

Looking at Pai who stretched half of his body out of the window, the little fish sitting opposite raised his head and asked curiously.

"What did you agree with Big Brother Chu?"

"Hmph, secret!"

Coming back from the window, Pai lowered his voice seriously, but couldn't hide the pride on his face.

The manager of Vault 101 is a "pioneer", and so on, and of course the manager of Vault 404 is also counted.

Participating in the affairs of the "pioneers" made her feel like doing things for the "grown-ups".

Even if it's just a small matter of running errands.

Xiaoyu nodded half-understood, and didn't continue to ask, but Boss Xia, who was sitting by the side with his arms folded, frequently cast vigilant gazes in this direction.

The train starts to move forward.

On the platform outside the train.

Watching the chimney drifting away with white mist, Chu Guang smiled and waved his hands, saying goodbye to every reluctant face on the train.

There are a total of 101 students who went to Camp 30 to study abroad, half of them are elites from all walks of life in the new alliance, aged between 16 and 30.

The rest of the students are aged between 14 and 16, and they are students with excellent grades selected from full-time schools.

When conditions permit, more people will arrive one after another.

Regarding this matter, Chu Guang had already communicated with the mayor of Camp No. 101 on the phone.

When he heard that Chu Guang was willing to pay the annual tuition fee of 1 silver coins for each student, the old man named Horn only thought for a moment before agreeing to the proposal.

They obviously knew the prices of the new alliance, and they also had a clear idea of ​​the purchasing power of 1 silver coins.

After seeing the richness of the new alliance, their attitude has changed from the initial wariness.

As for whether the tuition fee will be given too much?
Apparently it doesn't exist.

Not to mention that Chu Guang had just received a loan of 2 million chips from the Bank of Boulder City, and a steady stream of supplies and consumer goods were flowing from Boulder City to the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.Even without deep pockets, he'll squeeze that money out of the league's budget.

Education is a long-term investment, whether it is basic education or higher education.

A technology related to lithium batteries can help him recover a huge sum of 300 million silver coins. If the 30 silver coins are thrown out, the help to the new alliance is far more than just an antique-level technology.

In addition to talent training, there is also the introduction of talent and technology.

In fact, this matter is actually already underway.

The drainage system of Dawn City was redesigned by that old man named Butan.

Yuan Feng, an electrical engineer who visited Dawn City with Pai before, also planned to stay this time to help them build and plan the power grid from Dawn City to Dawn City and prepare for the repair of the controllable fusion reactor.

All work is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Whether it is the construction of Dawn City or the layout of the new alliance in Boulder City.

Watching the chimney disappear into the edge of the forest, Chu Guang looked back from a distance.

"Aren't you going back with me?"

The bionic man without facial features stood quietly on the platform, his eyes still fixed on the north side.

Chu Guang remembered that its name was Tianqin, and it came from Vault 101 and served as Pai's guard.

Of course, it may be to protect the chip in the little girl's brain.

After all, one piece of that thing is one less, which is much more expensive than a rotten wrist-mounted computer like VM.

Hearing the voice from the side, Tian Qin turned her face and replied with an electronic voice without waves.

"Mr. Manager asked me to stay here, observe, and protect if necessary."

There was a trace of surprise in Chu Guang's eyes.

"So you can talk."

Tianqin nodded.

"If it interferes with your work, please let me know and I will leave on my own."

Chu Guang: "That's not necessary, you can do whatever you want, but don't scare ordinary people."

Tian Qin nodded, stretched out her hand and pulled off the brim of the hood, hiding her face in the shadows.

Chu Guang didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left the station with the guards beside him.

Anyway, there is nothing shameful about him here, so if you want to OB, just OB.

Just as if there was a moving statue on his territory, and occasionally he could help him watch his home.

If this guy really planned to plot against him, he would have done it long ago.

In any case, the probability of conflict between shelters is extremely small.

Intuition told Chu Guang that this guy might be very strong, after all, he had never seen it charged.

According to the information collected and investigated by Fang Chang, Jushi Military Industry is suspected to have a secret army composed of awakened and reformed people, who disguised themselves as mercenaries and hid in the city.

Just like he exported players to Boulder City, this army that was broken up into pieces and hidden in the dark might get mixed up under his nose.

This kind of thing is not impossible.

However, this is not what he needs to consider right now.

This morning, Chu Guang received a message from afar.

Later, the caravan from Ideal City will arrive in the northern suburb of Qingquan City.

Accompanied by reinforcements sent by the company to the west.

They will stay here briefly for a few days, and then follow the trail of the Pioneer deep into the western desert.

Vault 404 is the "permanent partner" of the company, and the two parties have established a deep friendship in the short-term cooperation.

As the saying goes, is it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?

As the manager of the refuge, Chu Guang naturally had to make some preparations for these friends who came from afar.

By the way, let's see if there is any opportunity to deepen cooperation...
