This game is too real.

Chapter 808 Isn't eating three extra meals a day a reward?
"...the life support is okay."

Looking at the report submitted by a certain player, Chu Guang showed a dumbfounding expression on his face.

Pity.

Although he has the power to decide who to send the game helmet to, he does not have the authority to "add new product lines".

and……

Isn't eating three extra meals a day a "bonus"?

According to what he learned, many players are quite happy to become a rice bucket.Especially the group of drunkards headed by Lao Bai, their favorite thing to do is to get drunk online, and then continue to drink offline.

In fact, it's not just about eating.

The fun and enjoyment that "Second Life" brings to players is not limited to dry rice, but also includes but is not limited to bathing emperors who wash their feet and bald skin online, and then run to continue washing after offline.

Chu Guang really has no choice about his personal taste. "Wasteland OL" is not a customized stand-alone game after all.

Personal matters such as "I am full online and the offline has no appetite to eat" can only be solved by myself.

But then again, why did this guy write this in his report to the managers?
Could it be that the fact that he opened a small account has been exposed?

A trace of doubt arose in Chu Guang's heart, but he dispelled it after thinking about it for a while.

The odds are slim.

According to a normal person's thinking, that little player should think that the planner of the game in the beta test stage will definitely take an active look at the screen, especially for this kind of "evaluation opinion" written by the player himself, he will definitely take the opportunity to take a sneak peek.

And in fact, even if you guessed it, it doesn't matter.

The truth that is accidentally learned or guessed is the same as the expired lottery number that happens to be dreamed in a dream, which can neither be recognized nor redeemed for prizes.

Just knowing that there is such a thing has no meaning at all.

Just when Chu Guang was about to close the report, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, suddenly came over and said with great interest.

"Actually, it's not difficult from a technical point of view. The master just needs to outsource this part of the equipment to a company with relevant qualifications in the parallel world to produce it!"

According to its observations, many gamers and cloud players operate industries related to the game business in reality. Some of them make money from poor information, some make money from poor technology, and some make money by exchanging currency and selling peripherals.

Especially the currency exchange guy, who did the most business. Not only did he recruit all the top players on the server, but he also took advantage of his silver coin reserves to expand his business scope to artificial intelligence and precision machinery manufacturing.

I believe that with that player's ability, it shouldn't be a big problem to get a training cabin with not so high technical content in reality!
After Xiaoqi's words, Chu Guang just smiled lightly.

"I have considered the method you mentioned a long time ago."

"what?"

Xiao Qi tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"Then why didn't the master do that?"

Chu Guang thought for a while and said.

"Because... I don't really want to weaken their social relations in reality. What they get from "Wasteland OL" is not only money and status in reality, but also knowledge, technology, experience, methods and principles, etc. .”

"They should use these things to bring a little change to their hometown, start their own era of prosperity, and explore their own future."

"Although I can't go back, it's still my hometown after all."

Whether they choose gentle improvements or radical changes, Chu Guang believes that they will eventually take a different path from the wasteland world.

Even if the vast majority of players haven't realized it for the time being, they have actually united together.

And, they do have the energy to change the world.

……

The next morning.

Sisi, who was lying in the hotel, opened his eyes, got up and walked to the door to check the few signs left at the door, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he went into the bathroom and washed up briefly, and then went out to the hotel lobby.

This is a habit she developed during her travels, and it is also a habit that many players have when camping outside.

After all, you can no longer control the game characters after you go offline.

Although the VM has the function of "online life monitoring and offline message reminder", this does not mean that it is absolutely safe, it can only prevent fatal dangers.

When Sisi walked downstairs, the four guides and bodyguards arranged for them by the Mammoth State authorities were already waiting in the lobby.

The person at the head was named Bella, a young girl.She was wearing a straight military uniform, carrying an LD-47 assault rifle on her back, with capable short hair over the ears, and sharp eyes as if she had been on the battlefield.

Judging from her epaulets, her military rank is Sergeant. As for the specific position, Aki did not mention it, but it is estimated that she is the squad leader, which is equivalent to the ten commander in the old imperial military system.

As for the others, they are all big soldiers by military rank, but they don't have any traces of training on their bodies, and they don't look like people who have been on the battlefield. They may be recruits who have not yet joined the army, and their usual jobs should be service or civilian jobs.

After seeing Sisi, Bella saluted with her right fist on her chest, and said politely.

"Dear guests from the Alliance, good morning, how did you rest last night?"

"Good morning, I'm resting well..." Sisi returned her a relaxed smile, and continued, "You don't need to be so polite, just call me Sisi."

A troubled look appeared on Bella's face, but she nodded kindly.

"Good Miss Siss."

The task entrusted to her by her superiors is to try her best to meet all the reasonable needs of these distinguished guests from the alliance, and to leave a positive impression on the alliance as much as possible.

If the authorities of the Mammoth State want to survive in this dangerous wasteland, they must obtain the support of at least one major force in the wasteland.

She is well aware of the importance of her mission.

Seeing Ms. Bella who was overly serious, Sisi made a helpless expression, but couldn't say anything.

Seeing that Sisi didn't speak, Bella continued to speak politely.

"Do you have any plans for today?"

"Well," Sis thought for a while, then looked in the direction of the stairs, "I'm waiting for my companion to get up, and then we plan to take a walk around and check the environment here. Ah, by the way, is there anything nearby? A place to eat? It’s the kind that locals often eat, and we plan to have breakfast.”

Bella said immediately after hearing the words.

"A place to eat? I understand, just tell me when you are ready to go."

While the two were talking, a big white bear and a short-haired girl came down the stairs.

Not long after, Sesame Paste rubbed his sleepy eyes, yawned and went downstairs.

Accompanied by four bodyguards and guides, the three of them and one bear left the hotel, and soon came to a street full of fireworks.

Standing at the entrance of the street, Bella looked at Sisi and his party, and said somewhat cautiously.

"This is the snack street in the parish. The owners of the shops are all residents from Yinyue Bay, and they are the only ones who have the habit of eating breakfast... I don't know if it suits your taste."

Sisi smiled when he heard this.

"Your worries are unnecessary."

Tail interjected energetically.

"Oh! That's right! The eating habits of the residents of Yinyue Bay actually learned from us!"

Bella froze for a moment.

"Eh? Is... like this? That's great, I've been worried that you guys won't get used to it."

She really didn't know there was such an origin.

Sesame paste said with a smile.

"It's because you're being too polite. Actually, it's not necessary. Everyone is very easy-going."

"It's said that ramen shops have opened here, and this spread is too far..." Rourou glanced at the street, and was surprised to find that this place is simply a replica of Suguang City North Street.

Not only ramen shops, but also steamed buns, soy milk and fried dough sticks, and even fish noodles and hot dry noodles.

The greedy worm in her stomach was hooked by the alluring fragrance, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva several times.

The same is true for Tail standing next to her, nodding her chin in relief.

"That's good, that's good, there is a successor under Hai Ji... I think old man Zhang will be pleased."

Rourou couldn't help but complain.

"What the hell is under Haiji, and have you already acquiesced that he is an old man?"

Tail said proudly.

"Isn't this obvious? Which young man would use his real name as his online name?"

"By the way, don't you guys eat breakfast?" Sesame Paste looked at Bella curiously and asked.

Bella shook her head, her hair swaying gently by her ear.

"That's too much of a luxury for us. We used to have one meal, and occasionally we had to eat something...only recently have we had two meals."

"Sorry." Realizing that he asked an inappropriate question, there was a hint of apology in his sesame paste voice.

But Bella smiled and said indifferently.

"It's nothing, that's all in the past."

A group of people walked to the ramen shop and sat down. Bella wanted to pay, but was stopped by Sisi.

"We changed the money when we disembarked, so let me pay."

As she spoke, she left two [-]-yuan mammoth banknotes on the table and continued talking to the boss.

"Eight bowls of noodles."

Bella and the other three guides were a little surprised when this distinguished guest invited him to eat noodles.

"It's... not very good."

Seeing Bella with an embarrassed expression, Sisi said with a smile.

"It's just a bowl of noodles, so it's not a bribe."

Bella quickly waved her hand and said.

"That was not what I meant……"

Sisi opened the chair in front of the table and said with a smile.

"Then sit down and eat together."

Although she didn't have the habit of eating breakfast, Bella didn't have the nerve to refuse the kindness of the distinguished guests after all, and sat at the dining table with the other three guide ladies.

Sisi secretly observed the four of them, their restrained appearance did not appear to be faking, and it could be seen that they usually seldom come to such "luxury" restaurants to eat.

Although the living standards of the high-level authorities in the Mammoth State are unclear, the style of work at the grassroots level is relatively simple for the time being.

In addition, she also noticed that in addition to the exchange rate of mammoth coins being similar to gallons, the official exchange rate for silver coins is also 10:1.In terms of purchasing power in the local market, the former is even slightly higher than the latter.

A bowl of ramen here is about 15 mammoth coins, compared to 20 gallons in the gallon port.

This may be related to the fact that Mammoth Coin has just been launched and there is not much circulation in the market.

Of course, whether it is 15 mammoth or 20 gallons, it is still much cheaper than a bowl of beef noodles with 3~4 silver coins in Shuguang City, although the weight of the former is less than that of the latter.

In addition, because Mammoth State is relatively poor and has limited foreign exchange reserves, Mammoth coins cannot be exchanged freely like gallons. Local people can only use them as "consumption coupons". Only foreign businessmen can use them according to their respective quotas at designated exchange offices exchange.

Of course, there is no limit to exchanging silver coins for mammoth coins, and you can even get a few points of discount for a large number of exchanges.

The authorities seem to have learned the lessons of Huzhou and Baozhou and adopted stricter foreign exchange control measures instead of blindly copying the rich experience of King Gallon Port.

While waiting for the noodles to be served, she already knew a lot about the local purchasing power and living standards.

But after all, this is the parish where the residents of Silver Moon Bay live, and the cost of living is obviously higher than that of other urban areas in Mammoth City.

If you want to understand the real situation of the local area, you still have to visit the places where the local people live.

Sis was thinking about what kind of excuse he should find for Bella to take him to the place where the locals lived, when the familiar and slippery voice floated from the door.

"Hey! Si! And the tail, the sesame paste, and the meat lady... Haha, what a coincidence, we meet again!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Tail, who was buried in noodles, raised his head and greeted with a smile.

"Oh! Skinner! Good morning!"

"Cough... don't call me a skin seller anymore, I have other businesses too!" Hearing that impolite address, Mo Jiawei stared at his tail in embarrassment, but in the end he didn't lose his temper.

Even if it is not for the sake of the goddess, but for the sake of money, he has to restrain himself a little.

As a shareholder of the White Bear Knights Bank and Baiyue Company, no matter what the title is, it is too heavy for a shipping guy like him.

Seeing those fiery eyes looking at him, Sisi sighed. Although he was not interested in this oily guy, he still greeted him politely.

"morning."

Sitting at the table next door, Mogarvey said helplessly.

"You are still so cold."

After taking a sip of the noodle soup, she casually replied.

"Why are you so enthusiastic so early in the morning? Do you have anything to do?"

"No, I'm just here for breakfast, and I plan to go to the market in the nearby city later."

Seeing the bodyguard with the gun staring at him intently, Mogave spread his hands to indicate that he was not malicious, then took out a banknote and handed it to the waiter next to him.

"Give me a bowl of noodles too... just like the lady next to me."

"Ok sir."

Not wanting to get involved in the personal affairs of these bigwigs, the waiter hurriedly hid behind the counter after taking the money.

Sisi's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at Mojavey who had pulled out his chopsticks to eat noodles, and asked with interest.

"Do you know the market around here well?"

Seeing the interest in those eyes, Mo Jiawei immediately showed a happy smile on his face, and talked freely.

"Of course! Before you came here, I have been doing business here for two months. No one knows the market here better than me... Speaking of which, what kind of business are you here for?"

Sisi didn't hide anything, and said bluntly.

"We imported a batch of grain from Yinyue Bay, as well as some anti-inflammatory drugs and drugs to prevent malaria."

"Anti-inflammatory drugs, this is a good thing. I heard that the demand on the front line is quite large... However, the profit margin of food is still too low. The flood happened after the autumn harvest. The food here is actually not that scarce, especially for food. People who need food." Mojavey shook his head, his expression seemed to feel a little pity.

Sisi continued to ask with great interest.

"Then what business is there to do here?"

"You're asking the right person! Ordinary people, I don't tell him, but your words... I can tell you for free," Mojavey raised his eyebrows mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "Priceless jewels , handicrafts from Ideal City, and expensive furs... especially the furs that are loved by local tyrants in the desert, can be sold for a lot of money here!"

Hearing this sentence, Tail and Sesame Paste looked at each other with bewildered expressions.Rourou sitting on the side was blunt, looking at him puzzled and asking.

"The fur that is loved by the local tyrants in the desert... why don't you sell it directly to the local tyrants in the desert?"

Sesame paste also asked in confusion.

"That's right... Can the price offered by the people here be higher than that of Yinyue Bay?"

Mojavey smiled mysteriously, and continued talking eloquently.

"You don't understand this. No matter how poor the place is, there are rich people. They buy these luxury goods not only for their own use, but also for the purpose of preserving value. Therefore, they can even give a more generous premium than the local tyrants in the desert. "

Sisi asked thoughtfully.

"Are there many rich people here?"

Mogarvey said with a laugh.

"That's much more than you can imagine! Especially those old nobles. Although the new authorities bought their land, they bought it with money... with mammoth coins."

Hearing this sentence, Sisi's eyes suddenly flashed a bright light, and he saw the doorway at a glance.

"So that's it, you are doing a money laundering business..."

Mogave gave a thumbs up and said with a hey smile.

"As expected of you, nothing can escape your eyes."

Rourou looked at Sisi in a daze, and asked in Mandarin in a low voice.

"What do you mean...why did it become money laundering?"

Sisi said in a very soft voice.

"It's actually quite understandable. The Lassi authorities issued a large number of mammoth coins to steal their flooded land from the hands of the old nobles. However, the mammoth coins cannot be freely exchanged, so the old nobles used the money to buy relatively preserved Luxury goods. These things are easier to transport than coins, as long as they are transferred to Silver Moon Bay, they can be exchanged for a lot of silver coins."

Although Baiyue Province is rich in furs, there are also differences in rarity. The cheap ones are cheaper than cotton textiles, and the expensive ones are also outrageously expensive.

According to what she knew, a high-quality blood mink fur could even be sold for millions of silver coins.

There is a newcomer on the forum who got rich overnight by catching a blood mink by chance.

After hearing these words, there was an expression of emotion on Rourou's face.

"These nobles are real dogs..."

Sesame Paste still couldn't understand, and looked at Sisi's question in confusion.

"But... why did Lacy give them money? Can't they just take the land away from them?"

Sis explained patiently.

"Paying money to buy also has the advantage of spending money to buy. It is impossible for a regime to achieve domination of the region by fear alone, let alone the Moon Clan resistance army is an external force. If they want to achieve rule and abolish slavery to liberate productivity, they must Some level of cooperation with the local indigenous forces."

"Of course, it doesn't rule out that Lacy didn't think that much at all. He might just refer to what the Burning Corps did in Port Gold Gallon."

It was the same when the Burning Corps occupied Port Gum Gallon.

Except for throwing Nihak and several war criminals into prison, Brother Fang and the others did not take anything from other local residents, no matter nobles or civilians.

Although many old nobles were abandoned by the carriages of the times because they could not adapt to the new era, the entire process of class mobility was carried out in a relatively moderate state, at least it did not arouse a large-scale backlash from conservative forces.

Lassi made some improvements on this basis, especially on the issue of land.

After all, the Alliance does not need land to make money, nor does Gold Gallon Port, but Mammoth State's economy is mainly based on agriculture, with zero industrial base, so it can only focus on land and population.

After a pause, Sisi continued to speak after thinking about it.

"In addition to buying people's hearts, I speculate that he probably also hopes that the old nobles will use their money to invest in industries. Even if they go to Mammoth City to hire people to build some houses, it will be helpful to the Mammoth State's economy..."

"However, those old aristocrats are obviously not optimistic about him. Some people may really invest in the industry with the money, but obviously some people are just thinking about how to exchange the mammoth coins or bulk commodities in their hands for silver coins. field."

Seeing Sisi and his companions communicating in an incomprehensible language, and those soldiers looking at him with murderous eyes, Mo Jiawei felt very uncomfortable all over his body, and the chair under his buttocks was as hot as if it was on fire.

Of course he wasn't worried about a few top soldiers denouncing him.

Not to mention that he is from Yinyue Bay, and he enjoys certain "immunity" in the local area itself.

He can do this shady business, and he obviously has his own background in the local area.

The most important thing is that the authorities have not enacted relevant laws to prevent him from doing this?

Even if it's really immoral.

"Cough... I still have something to do. I'll go first. If you are interested in the market here, let's talk alone next time." After eating the noodles in a hurry, Mo Jiawei threw down his chopsticks and turned to the person sitting at the next table. Sisi frowned, then got up and left.

Watching the figure disappear at the door, a female soldier sitting at the table couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

"These moths..."

The foreign exchange in Mammoth State is all recited by overseas workers pile after pile of bricks, but there are always these villains trying to take the meager money from their pockets.

Bella glanced at the girl, who immediately realized that she shouldn't talk nonsense, and quickly shut up.

But Tail who was sitting on the side heard her muttering, and nodded in agreement.

"That's right, that's right, Tail feels the same way... even stealing money from the poor, the conscience is really bad!"

Bella was silent for a while, looked at the door with complicated eyes, and finally said with a sigh.

"Although that's what I said, we still need these people... I'm afraid it's a problem for us to survive on our own."

Flesh looked at her puzzled.

"Can't we just put the good people in and drive the bad people out?"

Bella shook her head.

"Master Lacy said that Mammoth State is like a moldy old house. We can't just live in it and leave it alone. Not only do we need to clean the place, but we also have to find a way to open a window for it to breathe. Among them A few flies and mosquitoes will definitely come in, but you can’t stop opening the window just because you’re afraid of flies crawling and mosquitoes biting you.”

Tail's eyes widened in surprise, and he muttered in a low voice using the "code word" dedicated to shelter 404.

"I'm giao... Is this something that Lassi can say?"

There was also a surprised expression on Sisi's face, and she also felt that this was not something that a bandit-like guy could say.

She calmed down, she suggested cautiously.

"Actually . . . your Mr. Lacy is right, but why not put screens on the windows?"

Bella froze for a moment.

"... Install a screen window?"

Sisi nodded and continued.

"Even in the alliance, we are not without supervision on silver coins, and even until now we are constantly improving the legislation in this area. You are just getting started, and I do not recommend that you completely copy our approach, but you may wish to consider setting up a The central bank that formulates monetary policy guides more funds to where society needs them, instead of expecting the conscience of businessmen, who do not have the concept of conscience.”

Mogarvey didn't dare to do money laundering business when he was in Chip Harbor, after all, one fine was enough for him to lose his fortune.

This guy is actually not a bad person, and he has done some good things, but he is simply greedy for money.

Bella looked at Sis hesitantly.

"But...Mr. Liszt is still relatively good, and we all have a good impression of him."

Speaking of this, she suddenly seemed to think of something, and added something in a low voice.

"Ah, and of course you... I think you are all very good people, and you won't be like that guy, always thinking of changing ways to take advantage of us."

Hearing this naive statement, Sisi couldn't help touching his forehead and said helplessly.

"He has been trained by our managers, and...with his asset size and status, there is no need to take risks. It might be different if it is replaced by another person."

Like Mosquito Dude.

That guy does it for the whole job, or even to a certain extent not for making money at all.

Although this buddy is not a bad person, it is hard to say whether he will do bad things.

Thinking about what she said seemed to make sense, the expression on Bella's face gradually became serious, and she looked at her and said sincerely.

"I see...Thank you for your suggestion, I will try my best to report it to my superiors."

Seeing her modest and eager to learn, Sisi couldn't help smiling, and took advantage of the opportunity to put forward the idea that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.

"We just plan to expand the banking business of the White Bear Knights here, and maybe we can provide you with some reference suggestions then."

Bella's eyes lit up, she looked at her excitedly, and almost stood up from the table.

"Really? Thank you so much!"

That look is too similar.

It was very similar to the eyes of those wastelanders looking up at the Pioneer when the Pioneer first arrived in the suburbs of Qingquan City.

Sisi felt a lot of emotion for a while, watching her and continuing.

"Of course it's true...but before that, I want to know more about the local situation. If it's convenient, can you take us around the nearby urban area where the locals live?"

Hearing this request, Bella's face showed a trace of hesitation, but she finally nodded.

"No problem...Although there is nothing to visit there, it might disappoint you."
