This game is too real.

Chapter 768 Unexpected Letter

Time passed day by day, from mid-August to early September in the blink of an eye, and the streets of Shuguang City unconsciously brought a hint of autumn coolness.

As the weather turns cold, many fashionable residents have replaced their cool short-sleeved jackets with cotton sweaters or leather jackets, partly because of convenience and partly because of cheapness.

During this period of time, cotton and leather were probably the most slumped commodities in the game.

The products of Baiyue Province are so rich that it is unimaginable, and the huge labor force of Jin Gallon Port has processed them into high-quality and cheap finished products.

Take the belt as an example. The cheapest one is only 100 gallons, and it is still leather. At most, the source of the different species is a bit special.

After deducting the profits and losses of customs duties, logistics, etc., it is only eleven, two and three silver coins. For the middle-class residents of Dawn City, one hour of work is enough.

Of course, the residents of King Gallon Port are not at a disadvantage. Many people didn't even have to wear clothes before, but now the streets are full of bicycles as fast as the wind.

For the well-off residents of Dawn City, the choice of clothing tends to be more diversified.

The window of the rattan hut has become a benchmark in the fashion industry since some time ago, and it has even been exported to Ideal City and even the families of the Weilante soldiers.

Perhaps it is the unconscious imitation of the aesthetic preferences of the residents of the shelter by the wastelanders, or perhaps it is the nature of human beings to pursue "mystery". clothing.

Among them, there are many eye-catching outfits, but there are also many products that are too outrageous or even eye-catching.

However, in a sense, this "deviant" scene is unexpectedly reasonable in "Wasteland OL".

After all, the cultural concept of the wasteland itself contains the characteristic of "cutting".

That is, splicing together a variety of completely different, even extremely contrasting elements, and using primitive social behaviors to deconstruct postmodern technological products.

For example, iron-pipe rifles made of future high-tech water pipes, crossbows made of rifle wreckage, and stockings that should have been worn on the legs and put on the head, etc... Of course, the latter is a minority, and most of the people who do this are not doing it. Players who are willing to show their faces.

All kinds of costumes form a beautiful scenery on the busy street.

I still remember that two years ago, people in the same place had to use the old banknotes as cotton wool to keep warm, stuff them into sacks and wrap them around their bodies to keep warm.

In just two years, the wardrobes of the survivors of Dawn City were filled with new clothes, and they were even rich enough to think about which clothes and which pair of shoes to wear when they went out.

And when the "chips" ruled the land, the abundance that benefited the majority was almost unimaginable.

"...I always wonder what is the problem with the chips. Logically speaking, there is no difference between chips and silver coins, but the life now is completely unimaginable before."

Dawn City, a hut by Linghu Lake.

Looking at the quiet garden outside the window, and Dolly, who was resting her chin with her hands on the window sill, suddenly remembered the past, and couldn't help thinking about it for a while.

She still remembered that humble and small wish in the dark—she wanted to raise a pot of succulents, because they heard that they could absorb radiation.

Although some big bad guy later told him that the thing was a trick to deceive children, radiation is not something that can be "sucked in", it is just a phenomenon of energy spreading outward in the form of electromagnetic waves or particles.

If photosynthesis is explained as absorbing radiation, theoretically any plant has the effect of absorbing radiation.

It is precisely because of this that this can only be regarded as a trick to deceive children, not a lie.

Really good deception does not need to lie.

Sitting across from her, Fang Chang, who was holding a newspaper in his hand, smiled, his doting eyes were like Dolly's staring at the tender green shoots on the windowsill.

"...When you are still searching for right and wrong tools, you have already entered a dead end."

He came back three days ago, mainly to deal with some things about Baiyue's listing, such as explaining the use of part of the funds.

Especially during the period when Baiyue Company was expanding its business in Jin Gallon Port, which expenses were paid by the company and which expenses were paid by the port authority, these must be explained one by one.

Fang Chang understands the rigor of the regulatory system. After all, overseas business is the most difficult part to supervise. If it is not stricter, the interests of shareholders cannot be guaranteed at all.

For example, the simplest and most stupid method is that they use the money given by shareholders to repair the subway, operate it at a loss, and then use a private company to collect subway tickets on their behalf.

A set of operations can cut the residents of Dawn City clearly, and the anger can be passed on to the residents of King Gallon Port-"These gangs of stinky rats who want to make money but spend nothing, steal money and steal it from your grandpa in Dawn City." Is it in? Bah, feed the unfamiliar white-eyed mouse, fuck it!"

Managers obviously won't let this happen.

He has predicted the manager's prediction, and made a clear plan for Baiyue Company's finances and Niuma Group's finances a long time ago.

It even includes the account books of the Golden Gallon Port Authority, where every money is spent, and from which account to which account it is clearly recorded.

But what surprised him was another small thing. It was Xiaoyu who worked with him.

That little girl was still the same as before, always talking about what Chu Guang said, and doing things meticulously.

The halo of the blue coat is useless to her at all, she has only one person in her heart from beginning to end, and she will not be lenient even if she is grateful to others.

The pair of eyes staring at the ledger were like a microscope, and some aggressive questions made him break out in cold sweat.

Especially when it came to why Baiyue Company didn't have a specific implementation standard for its investment in the Moon Clan's Resistance Army, such as how much money it would pay when it reached the goal at what stage, he couldn't help but wiped off his sweat and admitted that it was indeed his own. negligence.

It's also due to the booing of a group of people on the forum, and the fact that he got a lot of spoils at that time, he was indeed a little bit flustered when he spent money, or he was too confident.

He thought that if he gave money and equipment, there would be results, and he specially arranged for people to find those guerrillas. Who knew that those idiots would express their opinions when they talked about equality, and they would throw away their armor and armor as soon as they fought, and they were treated as wild monsters by NPCs. brush.

Speaking from his conscience, he really didn't have any bad intentions when he spent that money, he just hoped to speed up the changes that were taking place in Borneo Province...using the method he thought was appropriate.

"...Brother Chu is not opposed to your investment in things that you think are worth investing in, but you must explain to investors what goal you want to achieve, how much money you need to spend to achieve this goal, what risks exist, and what is the return. "

"For this, you need to formulate a detailed plan. It doesn't need to be specific about who will execute each step. It must be like a task system, giving support to the executor in stages, and a planned stop loss."

"Before reading this plan, I suggest that you better not leave Dawn City."

After leaving these three words of advice, the bright-eyed girl ended the hearing.

Fang Chang, who was sitting in the hearing room, sighed for a long time before getting up and leaving the room to go home.

If only all the NPCs in this game were as innocent and righteous as his lovely Dory.

There is nothing wrong with a simple sense of justice.

Too smart but not so cute...

At this moment, Dolly didn't know the "compliment" her sweetheart had given her in her heart, and she was still thinking about the chips and the report she was writing.

If she knew, she would bite this guy if she came back to her senses.

The short fluffy emerald green hair swayed slightly, Dolly looked at Fang Chang blankly, and tilted her head unconsciously.

"You mean there's nothing wrong with the chips?"

Fang Chang thought for a while and said.

"Using something you are familiar with as an example can easily give you a subjective impression. Let me use Cr as an example. Do you think Cr is good or bad."

Dolly frowned slightly, and said after thinking for a long time.

"I think...it's actually pretty good, right?"

The prosperity of Ideal City is obvious to all in the wasteland. To say that Cr is not good is to be too open-eyed to talk nonsense.

But she always felt that this bad guy would not ask a simple question out of good intentions, so she was somewhat hesitant when following his words.

Fang Chang smiled lightly, did not comment, but said in a chatty tone.

"The essence of Cr is the decentralized currency issued by the sum of the credits of the whole society. It can liberate all natural persons in the society from the debt relationship of the old age. The smart contract based on quantum algorithm programming ensures the absolute fairness of the transaction. By relying on a central bank to regulate interest rates, all those involved in society benefit equally from the prosperity of society as a whole... Doesn’t that sound wonderful?”

"Indeed... so it's okay to say that Cr is good, right?" Dolly nodded honestly and looked at him curiously, waiting for him to continue.

Picking up the coffee on the table and taking a sip, Fang Chang said slowly.

"So what if I tell you that the currency of the Buguera Free State is actually modeled after Cr?"

"what?!"

Dolly looked at him in surprise, and opened her mouth unconsciously, "Is that so?! But...then why is the cloth dollar depreciated so exaggeratedly?"

She heard that people there often need a string of zeros to buy things, and the smallest denomination of banknotes is 1000.

That kind of thing is actually designed to imitate Cr? !

Appreciating the surprised expression on Dolly's face, Fang Chang smiled lightly and continued in a teasing tone.

"In fact, it's not just cloth yuan... The S coin that was short-lived in the history of Qingquan City is also a poor imitation of Cr. You have written a report on that thing, so you should be very clear about what it is."

Dolly nodded in bewilderment, the thoughts in her head hadn't recovered from the shocking clue.

She still couldn't believe that Buyuan and Cr were essentially the same thing.

Fang Chang continued talking eloquently.

"As I mentioned just now, Cr is a decentralized currency issued by the sum of social credit as the anchor. In fact, cloth yuan is the same thing. However, there is one difference. In Buguera, the 'quantitative standard of the sum of social credit' is not Decentralized, and more extreme than traditional currencies—even primitive precious metal currencies are in the hands of a small group of people... If you can’t understand this concept, you can understand it as a pen for signing when you swipe your card to pay for food and drink. "

"You mean they used the wrong method?" Dolly keenly discovered the problem, her eyes widened in surprise.

Hearing this sentence, Fang Chang said dumbfoundedly.

"Look at you, I've said so much, you're still discussing right and wrong—hiss! Don't use your teeth!"

He was only halfway through his words when Dolly flung her teeth and claws out in embarrassment and bit his arm.

She was clearly thinking about this question that she couldn't understand very seriously, and she was clearly asking for advice, but this guy always interrupted from time to time to show off his superiority in IQ.

This guy is good at everything else, but this is annoying.

It's just a little bit smarter, so what's so great about it!
It's not... It's not... Anyway, there are times when she rides on the head and steps on the soles of the feet!
But when she saw him grinning in pain, she still involuntarily withdrew some strength, blushing and let go of the arm that was covered with rows of neat teeth marks.

"Who asked you to always tell riddles...won't you be able to answer my confusion?"

In fact, Fang Chang didn't feel any pain at all. After all, the player can't feel the pain beyond the limit, and even a little... Well, it seems too much to say it.

Out of modesty and gentlemanly demeanor, he still rubbed the teeth marks on his arm, pretending to be threatened.

"Hey, didn't I answer it well... You always say right or wrong, and I'm correcting your thinking. How do you know that Huoshi Group didn't do this on purpose?"

Dolly stared at him blankly: "...on purpose?"

"Is the Firestone Group going bankrupt, or are people in the Free State dying? Their economy is not worse than ours, and they are running while we are still walking. We joke that they have to watch 30 hours to open the refrigerator door A second ad, they might be making fun of us for not even having a refrigerator.”

In fact, without bragging, if they really fight with Buguera, even if they don't pull into the Great Rift Valley, it will take some effort for the alliance to win them through conventional warfare without first using strategic weapons.

At least one must be prepared to sacrifice Dawn City.

At least on the northern front, the fighting of the Hound Special Forces is not much worse than that of the 100th Mountain Division. The equipment may be inferior, but the quality of personnel is obviously higher than the latter.

There have been some small military frictions between the alliance and Buguera on the border, but neither side has sent the main force, but is very cautious to test each other.

Once in his memory, the Alliance sent bionics from Camp 101, which did not belong to the Alliance at the time, and Buguera sent a third-rate mercenary regiment actually hired by Wilant officers.

In fact, looking back, that friction was actually not only a contest between managers and Sigma, but also a test of the bottom line between the two parties.

Sigma accurately perceived that the weakness of the alliance lies in "weak border control and difficulty in identifying paramilitary forces disguised as refugees", and Chu Guang also gave a strong response to the pain points of the Free State, that is, "tough and unstoppable Restricted individuals would pose a huge hidden danger to the false liberty of the Free State."

A single bionic can kill a centurion, if a hundred bionics or a hundred awakened people who are more troublesome than bionics sneak into the Free State...

For Sigma, this is much more deterrent than "relying on regular troops to annihilate a centurion on the frontal battlefield", and this is the real reason why the two sides have always tacitly controlled the scale of the conflict. reason.

The NPCs in this game are just like real people, the more he thinks about it, the more so, this is not the first time he thinks so.

After a pause, Fang Chang looked at Dolly who half understood, and continued speaking concisely.

"...so you're running into a dead end when you're discussing whether they're right or wrong, good or bad. Guns are faster than knives, and there are faster guns, but peeling an apple isn't necessarily better than a knife. The fruit knife is handy."

"Going back to your original question, I can tell you that a chip is neither good nor bad, nor right or wrong, it is a tool. Those who hold it use it according to their own understanding of it... including the person who issued the chip , those who use chips, that's all."

"As for why the chip is not the same as the silver coin, because the guy who lifted the chip wanted this effect from the beginning, and he also did what he wanted to do. As for whether he played or didn't get rid of it in the end, that's the aftermath. Talk."

The same is true for Bougera. A series of tools including cloth yuan and the board structure are modeled after Ideal City. Like most wastelanders on the wasteland, they are extremely envious of the prosperity of Ideal City.

As for other things in the ideal city, they thought they knew it well, but they didn't know anything about it.

And this has led to the cyberpunk society in Buguera - super-high technological level and extremely low living standards appear in a settlement at the same time, and everyone is like a hamster running on a wire.

This is similar to the Science and Technology Committee, but very different.

It is said that the Social Research Section of the Alliance's scientific research team has established projects to analyze these phenomena, including the current sociological phenomena of the Alliance itself.

But this is a long-term undertaking that needs to be continued, and it is unrealistic to expect to draw conclusions about the present in the present.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but teased the ignorant Dolly again, making the latter flush with anger, baring his teeth and claws.

"...It's like the peddler who sells meat to you. He doesn't care about your health, and he doesn't care about radiation or not. He just wants to earn silver coins in your pocket. The difference is that some people know it, and some people don't... Sigh! Don't bite me!"

Seeing Dolly jumping onto the table like a cat, Fang Chang hurriedly moved away the unfinished coffee, for fear of burning her.

However, due to losing a hand, he was quickly defeated in the face of Dolly's attack.

After the fighting in the room finally ended, Dolly, who was flushed and panting heavily, finally noticed the crumpled newspaper on the table.

"This is Survivor's Daily?" She had a surprised expression on her face, especially when she found that the layout of the newspaper was different from the Survivor's Daily in Dawn City.

Fang Chang spread out the newspaper and said with a faint smile.

"Golden Gallon Port Sub-Newspaper... There are more and more survivors standing on the same front as us, and occasionally some eye-catching articles appear on it."

He has not been in King Gallon Port for a long time, and he also needs to use local newspapers to understand the situation there.

He didn't expect that in just a few months, the harbor full of slaves and without any hope could make such an earth-shattering roar, which really surprised him.

Maybe give them a little more time, maybe they can really catch up with the boat to the new world.

In fact, in addition to giving money, he also helped them cultivate some talents.

For example, Yodu, who works as a secretary in the governor's office, is a moderate and reformist with good abilities.

Including Lacy, who is the director of the Civil Defense Office, has courage and execution ability, and has the ability to accept new things. Although his words and deeds are a bit rough, it is not a big problem.And objectively speaking, he is responsible for the success of the transformation of King Gallon Port.

After all, there is nothing more deterrent to the old nobles than a Moon clansman holding a gun, especially this guy is cruel enough to others or to his own people.

In order to survive, those old nobles even worked harder than the new class to curry favor with the alliance.

After all, they are also afraid, afraid that the alliance will turn a blind eye if there are too many gossips.Although the people in the alliance are reasonable and disciplined, the dogs raised by the alliance are obviously not.

This guy is a man who can be made, and it is better to put it in the office to polish his character.

No matter what kind of mess he wants to be, he shouldn't have his thoughts written on his face.

This is the basic skill of politics.

If he doesn't practice well, that guy is destined to be the leader of the militia in his life.

"Hongtu... This article is well written, it doesn't look like it was written by someone who just learned to write." After reading the newspaper article from beginning to end, Dolly's face became more and more surprised, even pleasantly surprised.

Perhaps Dawn City's Daily Survivor could also cite this article.

Do not--

This does not seem to be an article, more like a preface to a long collection of essays.

As one of the earliest employees of "Survivor Daily" and the editor who discovered the literary treasure of "Boll the Awakened", she was keenly aware that this anthology called "Red Earth" had the potential not to lose to the former.

The suffering survivors in this wasteland are not only Boll from Boulder City, but also L from White Elephant City!

She heard the voice that hit the soul, and she believes that other people must also hear it, especially the members of the Workers Association who have experienced that change!

They've finished the wasteland around them, but the wider wasteland isn't done yet.

She believes that the partners who joined forces at that time will not be satisfied with today's ribs and beer, and will definitely be willing to help those who are also suffering!
At least some people will!
For example, Sberg and the others.

"I want to write a column for him!" Dolly's eyes sparkled, she looked at Fang Chang and said, "More people should hear the voice there, not just enjoy the cheap goods that the local survivors supply us... …No, to be precise, it is also for our own sake. If we let them continue to be exploited by slave owners, our interests will be damaged in the end, right? At that time, silver coins will become another kind of bargaining chip, just like those you just mentioned .”

While talking, Dolly stared at Fang Chang with piercing eyes, that little clever ghost looked nothing like the stupid and cute one hour ago.

It can only be said that he is a guy from Boulder City. The bridge of his nose is made of anti-bone. If you say this sentence to anyone other than the residents of Vault 404 in Dawn City, you will be greeted by the whole family.

Fang Chang smiled lightly, but did not deny her statement.

"Congratulations, when most people are still in the previous version, you have already entered the next version ahead of time, I mean... the problem you mentioned does exist, and it is what we plan to do in the next stage matter."

"The industrial age, long before the era of prosperity, has proved that unilateral blood-sucking is unsustainable, and that unequal relationships will eventually collapse after reaching a tipping point...whether it is the relationship between people or the relationship between different settlements. The relationship between them. The series of measures we adopt in a certain period can only delay the arrival of the critical point and make room for more flexible decision-making.”

"We have only two choices in the end, either set up a protected area similar to Singularity City, isolate Borneo Province from mainstream society and wait for new developments while watching. Or push them to board the ship of the New World and work together Participate in the larger agenda of how to end the Wasteland era."

His plan for Jin Gallon Port is a "secondary industry base", and Borneo Province is a supply base for human resources and minerals, but if it can become a huge consumer market, he is also happy to see it.

Not only because it is more beneficial to Baiyue Company, but also because he doesn't want to stand on the opposite side of other settlements and survivors in the alliance.

The Cohesion's war against the Sea Ends actually obscured some problems.

Dawn City and Boulder City can eat enough from the orders of military supplies and logistics distribution, and the entire sticky body is paying money to the settlements in the River Valley Province, and the consumption needed by the residents of the River Valley Province can be paid by sticky Commonwealth fights money to buy from other regions.

When the war is over, or the expansion of the alliance slows down, or a new crisis breaks out, some issues that were put on hold will inevitably surface.

The reason why the managers chose to approve Baiyue's listing plan at this time must also have considerations in this regard.

As a player in the T0 echelon of the server, he must let his faction boss have cards to play.

Thinking so in his heart, Fang Chang suddenly said with a smile.

"It seems that you are not the only one who thinks that this article is well written, I actually think so too... How do you think it will be included in the textbook of King Gallon Port?"

"That's a good idea!" Dolly's eyes sparkled, and she continued in that lark-like melodious voice, "Compared with the textbooks we gave them, their own stories really resonate with their compatriots more, they need their own symbols and totems!"

"Haha, then it's done!"

In just a few seconds, Fang Chang made a decision on this matter.

That night, after completing the report requested by Xiaoyu, he took the time to send a telegram to the governor's office in the Golden Gallon Port, ordering the compilation of "Red Soil" into the Golden Gallon textbook.

Now is no longer the time when the Burning Corps just landed in the Golden Gallon Port. It took two or three days for a battle report to arrive in Dawn City, and the back and forth battles were all over.

The information infrastructure is also a part of the infrastructure. The alliance's communication base stations and roads and railways have always been carried out simultaneously. By setting up multiple signal transfer stations, the telegrams from Dawn City can be sent directly to King Gallon Port bypassing interference.

When the submarine cable is laid, it will be no problem to make a phone call or even play a video.

He didn't wait long, and soon he received a telegram from Governor's Secretary Yodu.

However, to Fang Chang's surprise, the content of the call back was not only about the localization of textbooks, but also mentioned Laxi.

[...The Port of Gold Gallon Educators Association is organizing teachers in public schools to write teaching materials that meet the needs of local survivors. They have noticed the articles that appeared in the Survivor Daily, not just "Red Earth", many articles have been awarded Recommendations from local teachers and external teachers, I will continue to keep an eye on the progress of related work for you. 】

[Also, there is one more thing.Affected by a series of poor performances of the expeditionary force in Shifeng Mountain, the young people in Jin Gallon were excited after learning that the empire planned to send more cannon fodder to the front line, and they were all despised by the empire's actions.Recently, representatives from all walks of life have submitted petitions, hoping that the Golden Gallon authorities will refuse to return the Gray Wolf Army prisoners of war, at least let those who voluntarily stay stay... They are worried that those young people who were released by us will be sent by the empire as consumables. Go to the front line in exchange for compensation. 】

[It is not only people from all walks of life who are excited, but also from within the authorities.The director of the civil defense office, Rassi, submitted his resignation letter this morning, along with nearly [-] mid-level and low-level militia officers.I have retained them, but they have already decided to go. I have no right to deal with this matter and can only report this matter to you, and it is up to you to decide. 】

Is it okay to resign? !

I didn't expect that guy to have such a temper. Fang Chang was also surprised for a while, and was stunned for a long time.

The resignation letter was attached at the bottom of the telegram, and he continued to read along the telegram without stopping.

Although the one posted here is not the original, but he believes that Yodu guy will not fool him on such a big matter.

【

Dear Mr. Fang Chang, I am grateful for your promotion. Without you, I would not be where I am today.At the same time, please also send my regards to Mr. Manager. I know that he has been concerned about the affairs of the wasteland and has been watching us.

However, I am just a rough person, although I can read two words but I can't say any beautiful words, but I believe you know my loyalty, and I will obey every order you ask.

It's really helpless to submit this resignation now, all because those guys in the north are really assholes!

I hate it for not fighting, wasting the money and food you sponsored, and hating its uselessness for making jokes in and around Borneo, and even more hating it for ruining the lives of my compatriots!

By the time all the tribes in Xilan are disappointed, the survivors of Borneo Province will have no future. Now it is not too late and the resistance army is exhausted, so I have to go out!

If you think I'm reckless, just give me an order, and I will return my life to you, and I will never make it difficult for you.If you are willing to let me go north to save the country, I will never neglect you in the future!I, Laxi, will always be your subordinate. If you let me go east, I will never go west!
】

After reading the resignation letter twice, Fang Chang couldn't say a word, and it took him a long time to say "good guy".

He wrote this stuff himself? !
