This game is too real.

Chapter 518
Above the clouds, a plane with a unique shape took off from the airport on the edge of Ideal City and flew towards the River Valley Province.

It has two pairs of wings, a total of four engines, two front and two rear, symmetrically distributed on the four corners of the fuselage, spraying a light blue plasma plume towards the rear.

This transport aircraft is a civilian improvement of the "Killer Whale" transport aircraft. It has a longer fuselage, an increased cargo hold capacity, and a pair of plasma engines.

Because it is used by civilians, the aggressive name "killer whale" has also become a relatively milder "blue whale".

From the appearance, this aircraft looks like an advanced version of the four-engine tilt-rotor aircraft. The traditional propeller is replaced by a plasma engine with a lighter structure, more stable power, and less affected by airflow.

Like the Orca transport aircraft, it can switch between horizontal flight mode and vertical flight mode, and can even perform "sideways translation" maneuvers that the Orca transport aircraft cannot do.

Like a quadcopter drone.

It's just that most of the passengers on the plane will scold their mothers after experiencing it.

The aircraft was designed by a subsidiary of the Silver Wing Group, and more than a hundred companies participated in the production. At present, only one has been completed, and it has already been put into the flight from the province of the clouds to the province of the valley.

The deeds of the Pioneer have influenced the current mainstream thoughts of Ideal City to a certain extent, and Wu Changnian's "Influence Expansion" motion proposed by the council was successfully passed.

In the future, enterprises will not only operate the three-acre land in the province of the cloud, but also project their vision beyond the province of the cloud, and explore the future road together with the survivor settlements in various places.

They will not go back to the days of the Post-War Reconstruction Committee and unconditionally support those survivor settlements like the predecessors of the "Ministry of Production", but they will not treat those settlements as non-existent air like the past before this moment.

The birth of the alliance has proved that not all wastelanders are hopeless troubles.

And this flight to Hegu Province is one of the products of the proposal submitted by Wu Changnian.

His speech at the press conference that day inspired many people, and it is precisely because of this that the ticket for this first flight was almost empty as soon as it was posted.

If it wasn't for Li Shuyue's help to buy a reserved business travel ticket through Ruyue Group, the four members of the "Niu Ma Squad" might have to stay in Ideal City for a while...

"Fuck! Bad luck today!"

Watching Fang Chang show the cards on the table.Ye Shiyi leaned back on the chair with a sullen expression on his face.

There are a total of 240 seats in the cabin. In addition to the front and rear compartments, there is also an entertainment room with a bar where the android waiters can serve drinks.

Before the plane lands, passengers can get out of their seats and walk around freely, but in case of an emergency, they need to follow the captain's arrangement and return to their seats, or take a seat on the nearest safety seat.

In order to pass the boring commuting time, the four sat at the table in the entertainment room and played blackjack at Fang Chang's suggestion.

Seeing Ye Shi with a distressed face, Fang Chang smiled faintly.

"Your cards are already written on your face, it is not too easy to win you."

"But--"

"You want to say that Ni's expression is actually fake, right?"

Seeing through what he wanted to say, Fang Chang continued with a smile on his face, "But have you ever considered that the deliberate disguise itself has exposed your intentions."

"Hey, don't play anymore... This is too tempting!" Ye Shi pushed the chair away with a sigh, "Let's play Fighting the Landlords."

He originally thought that the perception attribute could help him kill all sides at the poker table, but in the end he bullied Lao Bai, who didn't know much about the rules of blackjack, and never won against the upper hand.

Looking at Ye Shi who gave up, Fang Chang said with a smile.

"If you're not good at disguising your emotions, you can learn from Kuangfeng... that kind of facial paralysis is more difficult to deal with, especially because he is very strong in mathematics."

The wind coughed lightly.

"Facial paralysis is not enough... It's just that it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, and there are rules to follow. I'm not surprised if I get bad cards or good cards."

Ye Shi suddenly raised his head.

"Speaking of which, I've always been curious."

Lao Bai, who lost all his points early, said with a smile.

"Curious what?"

Ye Shi glanced at Feng Feng.

"Why do you say that a master of physics like Duo Feng also plays games?"

Fang Chang said with a smile.

"It's so strange, who doesn't have a hobby yet."

The wind coughed lightly.

"...It's not a boss, I'm just more interested in what I'm interested in."

Ye Shi couldn't help complaining when he heard the words.

"Listening to your words is better than a word."

Fang Chang looked at the wind with great interest.

"Speaking of which, what is the subject of your research?"

He also learned some knowledge about artificial intelligence recently, although he only read the introduction part.

He didn't know much about what the physics professors in the university were researching, but if the field of study of Brother Feng Feng happened to be related to algorithms, he could just talk about his discoveries in the game.

After thinking about it for a while, the wind suddenly changed the topic.

"By the way, didn't we agree not to talk about reality in the game?"

Hearing this sentence, Ye Shi couldn't help but spit.

"Damn! We've known each other for so many years and still come here! Go to Jinling to meet you another day."

Kuangfeng said with a smile.

"Okay, you are here to show you around."

Fang Chang squinted eleven eyes at Ye.

"...Don't listen to this kid's hilarity. He yelled that he wanted to come to Shanghai to play with me the year before last. He has changed from a high school student to a college student and has not seen anyone else."

Ye Shi also felt a little embarrassed after being pigeonholed for so long, scratching the back of his head and explaining.

"Hey... don't I want to wait for an opportunity to get together, and when the time comes, I will bring Laobai and Fengfeng to go together. It will be more fun if there are more people. What's the point of going alone."

Fang Chang rolled his eyes.

"Come on, see you in the game."

Speaking of...

In fact, there is another person.

At the beginning, I also said that I would go to Shanghai to play with him.

Fang Chang couldn't help but think of a guy who was playing tricks.

He didn't even want to understand why the guy in sales went to make games.

I've never seen him express this kind of thinking before...

While the four of them were chatting, at the long table not far from the bar in the entertainment room, a well-dressed man was standing in front of a group of young travelers who looked like travelers with a smooth voice.

"...You mean Qingquan City? What a coincidence, I grew up in Qingquan City since I was a child, and no one is more familiar with it than me."

"Really?" A young man in his early twenties looked at the man in surprise, and continued speaking quickly, "Are you a resident of the Union?"

"Alliance? Ah...you said that," the man was stunned for a moment, and said impatiently, "When I left home to travel, there was no alliance. In the whole Qingquan City, there is only a real survivor settlement called Boulder City." The other small villages don't deserve to be called settlements at all."

His name is Jixiu, he is the second son of the president of the Boulder City Bank, he was entrusted by his father to a familiar local merchant in his early years, and sent to Ideal City to see the world.

It's been almost five years in the blink of an eye.

When he was in Boulder City, he was a well-known playboy in the city. Even the aristocrats in the inner city would give him a little favor because his father could help make money and his mother's family status was not small.

Not to mention the residents of the outer cities, no matter what stupid things he does, no one will trouble him, and he has done things like bullying men and women.

However, when it came to Ideal City, it was a completely different matter here. No one took his father's identity as the president of the Boulder City Bank seriously, and the chips in his pocket could not even be directly exchanged for Cr.

Thanks to his father sending him some money from time to time, otherwise he would be a dignified aristocrat, maybe he would have to work in a fast food restaurant.

Ideal City is indeed prosperous, and there are many times more people than Boulder City, but living in a room with dozens of square meters and only having to line up with a group of sand sculptures on the endpoint cloud all day is not the life he wants.

Those mentally handicapped.

Anyone who dared to be so disrespectful to him in Boulder City, he would definitely find him out and kill him with a single shot.

If it wasn't for the long distance, father didn't give him a chance, and he couldn't save the travel expenses, he would have wanted to go home a long time ago!
Of course, the reason for his homesickness is not entirely because he misses the freedom there, but more because he wants to do something to prove that he is not what those idiots on Duandian Cloud say-he is a good father Useless trash.

Especially recently, the recent resolution issued by the Enterprise Council gave him hope. Ideal City even launched a flight to the River Valley Province!
He intends to revitalize his hometown with this shareholder wind!

Feeling that the atmosphere was almost in place, Kisuke cleared his throat vigorously, and continued speaking in an uplifting tone.

"...Friends, we are ushering in an era full of opportunities! Have you listened to Vice Minister Wu's speech at the press conference? From now on, enterprises will expand their business scope more aggressively and proactively, and As the first stop of the company's overseas business - Qingquan City in Hegu Province, Jushi City with a population of more than 50 people is undoubtedly the most potential market!"

however--

To his surprise, those young people didn't respond after hearing what he said.

At least not the kind of excitement and longing he expected.

"Wu... You mean that old man?"

"Isn't he old enough?"

"Uh... yes, but I didn't pay attention to what he said."

"By the way, where is Boulder City?"

"Aren't we going to Dawn City?"

"I shouldn't have bought the wrong ticket."

A group of people were chatting and laughing, not paying any attention to what he said.Apparently they were just here for tourism, and they weren't very interested in business matters.

Kisu's brows twitched, but he still didn't give up, trying to make the last effort.

"That's right, we will get off the plane in Dawn City, but when it comes to River Valley Province, we have to mention Boulder City, which may be the only pure land of civilization in the southern part of River Valley Province. After arriving in Dawn City, we can hire a team of mercenaries Escort us to-"

A taller young man coughed, interrupting his growing voice.

"The Enterprise Exit Office has reminded us that we must be cautious when leaving Yunjian Province. The commandos cannot receive our distress signal. If it is not necessary, it is best not to leave the actual control area of ​​the alliance."

A young girl wearing glasses nodded and said worriedly.

"Indeed, I heard that... River Valley Province is the birthplace of Death Claws. Those guys with horns on their heads can even tear apart power armor with one claw."

"That's probably an exaggeration...but are we going to run into wild Deathclaws?"

"I don't know, but Vault 79 can visit Death Claws! I heard that there is also the legendary first birth there!"

"The claws of death were artificially created!?"

"Did you just know?"

"You guys go, I plan to stay in Dawn City for a few days... I heard that there will be a celebration in three days."

"Can I meet the legendary manager?"

"Haha, don't be an idiot, I don't have time to see you as a tourist."

Those men and women were chatting and laughing, and the topic unconsciously went to the alliance again.

Looking at these reckless guys, Kixiu clenched his fists, and a black line appeared on his forehead.

hateful……

These guys!

Why don't you listen to him at all!

Taking a deep breath, Ki Xiu suppressed the anger in his heart, and told himself that he must be calm and not be impulsive.

Most of the people who can buy tickets for the first flight are wealthy people.

Either you have money yourself, or you have money at home, or you are simply on a business trip.

If he could get Cr from these guys and invest in the local industry in Boulder City, his plan would go much smoother.

He has already thought about it.

The problem of Boulder City lies in the stagnation of development caused by the solidification of the class. The lazy survivors found that no matter how hard they worked, they could not become nobles. If they did business, they had to risk being skinned by the plunderers, so they were frustrated. become poorer.

The solution to the problem is simple.

As long as another outer city is built outside the outer city, and the original "outer city" becomes a "middle city", won't the problem be solved?

Not only that, he also plans to learn from Ideal City's advanced financial experience.

However, this card has to be used as the finale hole card and cannot be played at the beginning.

I'm afraid there will be a lot of resistance to advance in the inner city, and he will be spanked by his father if he does it in the outer city, but if it is outside the huge wall, there will be no problem.

A digital currency issued based on credit!

The group of ground turtles who have never seen the world will definitely be shocked by his genius idea!

However, what troubled Kixiu was that these rich boys from Ideal City were not interested in what he said at all, and those businessmen who were dozing off wearing neural connection devices didn't bother to talk to him.

Looking around the lounge for a while, he quickly noticed the four guys sitting in the corner playing cards, his eyes lit up, and he walked over there.

At the same time, Ye Shi, who had just drawn a good deck of cards, was thinking about how to manage the expression on his face, but at this moment, a strange voice suddenly came from the side.

"...Hello, I'm glad to be on the same flight with you. My name is Kixiu, the second son of the president of the Bank of Boulder City." In order not to appear blunt in his strike-up, he turned his gaze to the piece of paper on the table, Asked curiously, "What are you playing? Can you bring me one?"

"Poker... just wait for the next round."

Not bothering to pay attention to this passer-by NPC who came from nowhere, Ye Shi stared straight at Fang Chang who was about to look at the card, intending to read the flaws from his face, and then use the good card in his hand to viciously Get back on the field.

However, to his disappointment, Fang Chang did not look at the cards, but turned his attention to the man who spoke to them.

The second son of the president of the Boulder Bank?

That is...

Alisa's brother?

Fang Chang's expression was slightly surprised.

This is too coincidental...

But having said that, since he hasn't been to Boulder City for so long, he almost forgot about the NPC who entrusted him to find the cat.

"My name is Fang Chang...they are my friends." Out of politeness, Fang Chang introduced himself, and then introduced Ye Shi and other partners one by one.

Jixiu stared at Fang Chang for a while, chewing on the name over and over again, always thinking that he had heard it somewhere, but couldn't remember it for a while.

But it doesn't matter!

The people who can get on this flight are all powerful masters, maybe they have seen it in some advertisement.

With a sunny smile on his face, Kixiu stared at the young man in front of him with piercing eyes.

"I knew from the first moment I saw you that you were not an ordinary person."

Fang Chang said with a smile.

"So you're going to repeat to me what you just said to those people."

Because of Ye Shi's card skills, he could even play cards with this kid while listening to those NPCs.He also didn't expect that the liar who sneaked into the flight would target him, and he didn't even expect that he still has the identity of the second son of the president of the Boulder City Bank.

If he hadn't lied, that would be a big deal.

"...Since you've heard it before, I won't repeat it," Kixiu lowered his excited voice, "How about it? Are you interested in revitalizing Boulder City with me? The market there is not just 50 people, its impact The power is enough to cover the entire southern part of the River Valley Province, and even most of the Jinchuan Province!"

Hearing these words, Fang Chang could not help but smile on his face.

Just as he was about to tease this guy tactfully, his heart suddenly moved, and he showed an interested expression on his face.

"That's it... Then tell me, how do you plan to revitalize that Boulder City?"

Seeing Fang Chang's interested expression, Ki Xiu's face showed unconcealable joy.

"It's very simple! No, it's not that simple, it's just that no one has discovered—"

"Hush." ​​Fang Chang made a silent gesture, interrupted him, and then took out a business card and handed it to him.

"Don't talk about such an important matter on the plane... After you get off the plane, you come to this address to find me."

Ki Xiu, who took the business card, was stunned for a moment, instead of looking at the address, he stared straight at Fang Chang.

"You... have been to Qingquan City?"

"What are you talking about? I've been here before, it's like my second home," Fang Chang said with a smile, looking at this dazed young man, "Have you ever heard of Changyue Group? No Like I said, are you willing to fight chicken?"

"That's your company?!" Jixiu was startled for a moment, but quickly recovered, "Wait, but I heard that it's a subsidiary of Kisaragi Group—"

Of course he knows the company!
In the last letter to Dad, he specifically mentioned this matter!
Fang Chang coughed.

"There is a big problem with your understanding of equity... But aside from these, don't you wonder how the head of Changyue Group got here?"

Changyue Group is a joint venture between Niuma Group and Ruyue Group, but it is only listed under the name of Ruyue Group because of qualification issues.

As for why he used his own name, Fang Chang also felt puzzled, but he didn't care if the brothers didn't disagree.

After all, using cows and horses is really not very pleasant.

Kicheo stared at him in disbelief.

"Could it be..."

Looking at Ki Xiu who obviously misunderstood something, Fang Chang smiled mysteriously, without any explanation, just pointed to the business card in his hand.

"Some things are inconvenient to talk about in a crowded place... Let's talk after getting off the plane."

Ki Xiu quickly stopped talking, and nodded excitedly.

"Yes! Makes sense!"

Completely forgetting about the things at the poker table, Fang Chang quickly chatted with this NPC about other things, the more he chatted, the more absorbed he became, and the more he chatted, the more self-forgetful he became.

When Jixiu heard that the person in front of him was actually the same as himself and had the experience of studying in Yunjian University, he immediately grabbed his hands excitedly, looking like he hated seeing each other late.

Ye Shi glanced at Lao Bai who was sitting next to him.

"...I finally know the meaning of what Fang Chang said."

Lao Bai was stunned.

"Which sentence?"

"It's the phrase 'write the cards in your hand on your face'." Ye Shi glanced at the two cards on the table, sighed, and put the cards on the table together. It's too dirty, I really don't want to play it this time... Let's play Fight the Landlord for the three of us."

Kuang Feng nodded in agreement.

"Agree."

……

The flight from the east coast to Dawn City was still floating in the sky, and the Iron Heart, which had returned from the great desert, had already returned to the capital of the alliance with the glory and banner of victory.

Chu Guang rested on the airship for one night, and returned to the surface with his little players in the pod at dawn the next day.

Three days later, Dawn City will hold a grand celebration to celebrate the triumphant return of the expeditionary force.

Although it is not yet the official start of the celebration, the streets have been filled with festive atmosphere in the past two days.

In order not to affect the normal life and work of the residents, and in order not to overdraw the joy of the celebration in advance, Chu Guang did not make a big fuss when he came down from the sky, and even specifically told Luca and others not to come to pick him up.

The Heart of Steel, flying the Alliance flag, also parked quietly on the edge of the Elm District, and did not continue to advance towards the settlement.

"Hahahaha, Grandpa is finally home!" With his feet finally on the ground, the mosquito let out a long howl and happily walked towards the industrial area.

The war is over!
The era of true goblin technology has finally arrived!

He really prefers to make some more interesting inventions than those equipment that are quicker, cheaper and easier to operate.

Several Xiaomengxin stood on the edge of the wheat field, looking at the prosperous settlement in the distance, with surprised expressions on their faces.

"Is this Dawn City..."

"Shock!"

"It's too arrogant..."

The well-arranged houses do not feel like wasteland at all. The walls made of red bricks are painted with white paint, and there are many construction sites that are knocking on the outskirts of the city.

The closest to them at this moment is the railway station in Dawn City.

The open space in front of the station gate has been turned into a goods distribution center, and there is an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and the sound of yelling can be heard from far away.Huge wooden boxes almost filled the entire freight platform, and cars waiting to be dispatched formed a long queue in front of the platform...

This in itself is nothing surprising.

In reality, any city is more prosperous than this one.

But what is astonishing is that just a year ago, this place was still a wilderness overgrown with weeds, and there were no houses at all, let alone the farmland that could not be seen as far as the eye could see.

The bricks, tiles, plants and trees here are all built by the players who have entered the game since the Alpha0.1 version, together with the NPCs.

The shock that hit my face was much stronger than what I had seen in the photos...

Glancing at those unfamiliar guys, I said with the darkest joke.

"You look like you just came here."

The outlaw scratched the back of his head.

"Uh, I'm indeed here for the first time... My resurrection point is in Vault 79, and I was sent to the front line as soon as I was born."

He still remembers quite clearly that not long after he arrived at the front line, he was fooled by those old players into the army's position as cannon fodder.

Later, he accidentally learned from the forum that the pangolin was actually his own.

The same is true for the person next to him who woke up and was sleepy, and nodded in shock.

"It's my first time going home too..."

My darkest eyes lit up, hooked their shoulders, and said with a playful smile.

"Brother in Beta0.4 version, right? Hahaha! Let's go, bro, I'll show you a lot of knowledge."

The outlaw fanatics immediately became alert when they heard the words.

"What are you going to do... I dare not do illegal things."

Sleepy after waking up looked at this guy equally vigilantly.

"+1! I was queuing up before the alliance! Don't lead me around!"

I curled my lips the darkest.

"Tch, who didn't line up to come in... Don't worry, I just treat you to a bowl of ramen. What are you thinking about early in the morning?"

Ouch.

It turned out to be noodles.

The two suddenly showed bored expressions.

White looking forward to it!

Looking at those young players who were clasping their shoulders and clamoring, Chu Guang had a fatherly smile on his face.

Although many Beta 0.4 players have fought for the alliance for many days and died countless times, they actually don't know what the alliance is, and they just regard it as the setting of the game.

I believe they will have a deeper understanding at this moment-it is a home made up of a group of people, and people fight for it not just for money and experience.

Of course, even if his little players have a new understanding of the cause of the alliance, he still hopes that they can play the game in a joyful way, without having to carry the burden of "revival of civilization", "uniting those who survived" and so on A series of burdens that are too heavy.

That's his job.

In addition to his status as the manager of the alliance, he is also the game planner of "Wasteland OL".

In contrast, he still prefers that his players can play this game with a relaxed mood.

After all, as he said, this is a fun casual game.

Looking away from the players, Chu Guang smiled and said.

"Let's go, we should go too."

Sitting on Chu Guang's shoulders, Xiao Qi, who rested her chin on her hands, kept looking at the expression on his face.

Seeing the imperceptible loneliness, Xiao Qi thought that Chu Guang was feeling lonely because no one came to pick him up, so he encouraged him in a vigorous tone.

"It's okay master, Xiao Qi will always be with you!"

Chu Guang was taken aback when he heard the words, then laughed out loud, stretched out his index finger and touched its little head lightly.

"Well, thanks to having you with me."

"hey-hey."

A satisfied smile appeared on Xiao Qi's face, and she happily shook her calf.

Just when Chu Guang was thinking about whether to go to North Street to have breakfast first, or to go directly to the shelter for a medical examination, a familiar figure was coming here from not far away...
