This Game Is Too Realistic

Are you an idiot?!

Seeing the mess on the table, Dolly stared in surprise.

A bunch of lizard meat skewers as long as a forearm and as thick as two fingers, filled with tail meat grilled into burnt red, worth three chips.

She was already full after eating one skewer, but this guy ate four whole skewers!

Dolly's eyes couldn't help moving down.

She wanted to find out where this guy put everything he ate? !

Didn't you tell me to be polite?

Fang Chang wiped his mouth with a tissue calmly, admiring the expression on her face for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, he continued to comment.

The taste is really average, far worse than ours.

The lizard meat seems to have been imported from the south, where I heard there are edible lizards raised on farms there.

There is also crocodile meat, which tastes almost like chicken.

But having said that, the prices here are really not cheap. Such a simple dinner has already cost 20 chips.

Fang Chang couldn't help thinking that investing in an old street barbecue in Jushi City should make a lot of money.

Although the vast majority of residents here do not have that spending power, the mercenaries can still afford the money.

Looking at the pile of wooden sticks on the plate, the corners of Dolly's mouth twitched, and she put her hand into her pocket reluctantly.

However, Fang Chang had already thrown the 25 green chips into the tray in the hands of the waiter.

...Give me two more bottles of beer and a bunch of lizard meat, and you don't need to look for the rest.

...Okay sir. Looking at the green chips on the plate, the waiter silently rolled his eyes in his heart.

No need to look for it.

I didn't even need to look for it!

Seeing Fang Chang who bought the bill, Dolly was stunned for a moment.

After a while, when the beer and skewers came up, she whispered something.

Didn't you agree that I would invite you...how did you pay for me?

You can hire me after you get your first salary. You should save the bargaining chips in your pocket to pay the rent and repay the loan.

After taking a sip of the beer that was as light as water, Chang Fang looked at Dolly who puffed out his mouth, and joked with a smile, And I always feel that I'm at a loss when I invite you with the chips I gave you.

Well, that's what I earned! Dolly blushed and argued, How can I use your chips to invite you?

Seeing her playful reaction, Fang Chang couldn't help laughing.

Yes Yes Yes.

He never thought that one day, he could become friends with a piece of data.

But if you don't think about it, this experience is quite interesting...

...

The northern suburb of Qingquan City.

At the entrance and exit of the inter-provincial highway, a group of dark figures were slowly approaching from far to near.

It is not so much a caravan as an army.

The leading man was wearing light gray power armor, thick steel and composite materials that armed him from toe to tooth.

The Gauss rifle held in his hand was like a big sword across his chest.

Among the more than 100 people following him, except for 20 power armors, the rest were also wearing Pioneer exoskeletons and holding Black Swan assault rifles.

Unlike the crew on the Pioneer, they are the Army of the Enterprise, real soldiers.

Judging from the bullet marks and scratches on the car body and armor, it was obvious that their road was not smooth sailing, and fierce battles broke out on the way.

And not just one or two games!

At this time, the man walking in the front raised his right hand, and the team behind him slowly stopped.

I saw a blue power armor standing not far in front of him.

The man stared at the power armor for a moment.

If I remember correctly, the name of this model should be Order, which belongs to the police armor of the Renlian era.

Behind that power armor, followed by dozens of soldiers wearing Type Five exoskeletons, all of which were also police armor from the People's Federation era.

This kind of thing is usually only seen in the shelter.

The man was about to open his mouth to say something.

The Powered Armor standing in front of him took the initiative to remove the helmet's visor and spoke in a loud voice.

Welcome, friends from the east coast. I am the manager of Vault 404 and the manager of the new alliance. You can call me by my name Chu Guang, or by my code name Shuguang.

Seeing that the other party removed his mask, the man walking in front of the team tapped the side of his helmet twice, and also took off his mask to show his sincerity.

As Chu Guang had imagined, under the helmet was a powerful face of Kong Wu.

Younger than expected, he looked to be in his early twenties.

Yun Song, the captain of the 26th Commando of the Enterprise Army Department.

We set off from Ideal City and went to the western desert to reinforce the Pioneer. We have already informed you on the communication channel about our intention to come.

We need to resupply, stay here for a few days, and then continue on the road.

The captain named Yun Song spoke in a very direct way without any euphemism, and he was quite military-like, completely different from those engineers Chu Guang had dealt with before.

Chu Guang took a look at the subordinates behind him. There were about 120 or 30 soldiers with live ammunition.

The remaining 30 to 50 people are probably logistics personnel, and only a few carry self-defense weapons such as pistols.

In addition, there are nearly ten half-wheel and half-track vehicles, which are probably filled with supplies.

And the twenty or thirty two-headed oxen and mutated donkeys that were loaded with goods didn't look like they were brought out from Ideal City, maybe they were picked up halfway.

There was no change in attitude, and Chu Guang still had a spring-like smile on his face.

Welcome, the door of the Alliance is always open to its friends!

This is not a place for conversation, we have prepared a banquet for you to wash away the dust.

Please come with me.

One of the terms of exchange for the Longevity Farm built by the Pioneer as a refuge back then was to provide a resting place for the company's employees and troops when the company's reinforcements passed by the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

Seeing that the manager in front of him had fulfilled the agreement, Yun Song frowned slightly, and a smile stretched out on his tense face.

Thank you very much.

You are Welcome.

With the usual smile on his face, Chu Guang said calmly.

We are friends, and it is right to lend a helping hand to friends who are in trouble!

...

Dawn City does not prohibit the entry of wastelanders with weapons, but there are requirements for the size of armed personnel and the types of weapons.

For example, general mercenary regiments and caravan guards are free to come and go, but armed forces with a size of more than 50 people need to register before entering the country.

Additional ammunition and explosives must be left at the trading post next to North Street, and are not allowed to be brought into Dawn City. You can take them with you when you leave.

Carry-on weapons will not check the bullets in the magazine, but you must not open the safety at will, especially when you are on the street, the muzzle must always be kept facing down.

There are drones patrolling the sky above Dawn City.

Once violations are found, the guards will be dispatched within 10 minutes and issue arrest tasks to nearby players depending on the threat level.

For these soldiers who came from afar, no matter their number, equipment, or nature, they are obviously beyond the general category, and naturally they cannot be treated as ordinary mercenary regiments in the entry process.

However, the enterprises are partners of the new alliance, and Chu Guang generously granted them military access.

As for the station, they chose the military camp next to the airport.

As the 2nd Corps was transferred to Xizhou City, there were many ready-made barracks available.

When they reached the gate of the barracks, many soldiers showed expressions of relief on their faces.

It can be seen that they have suffered a lot along the way.

With a surprised expression on Yun Song's face, he repeatedly checked the tablet in his hand.

On the screen are photos taken by the Trailblazer.

There is only a concrete wall and a few simple barracks made of foam materials on the bare wasteland.

However, everything in front of him has nothing to do with the photo in his hand, it can only be said to have nothing to do with it.

Rows of uniform barracks are located in the open space. Next to the straight airstrip, there are several wooden hangars and 100mm artillery. Not far away, there is a steel communication tower.

Looking to the southwest, you can see the bright lights under the night. Although I couldn't see the whole picture of the survivor settlement, I could feel it from the flickering outline. It was a prosperous settlement with a population of no less than 10,000.

The strong contrast made Yun Song stunned in place, and couldn't help but look at Chu Guang who was beside him and asked.

This...is really Changjiu Farm?

He suspected that he might have gone to the wrong place.

Can guess what he was surprised, Chu Guang smiled and said.

That's already a historical place name, and now it's called Dawn City.

As for the farm, it's just the northwest corner of Dawn City. We reclaimed the wasteland on the north bank of the lake into farmland. If you had been here half a year earlier, you could still see the ruts left by the track of the Pioneer on the land.

But now, it has been covered by rice and corn fields that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Yun Song didn't speak, but the shock in his heart was clearly written on his face.

If such a thing happened around Ideal City, he wouldn't be surprised.

Due to the business with enterprises, many survivor settlements in Yunjian Province are also developing quite well.

Especially the settlements around Yunshi and Yunxia, ​​relying on the well-connected trade routes and the heritage of pre-war civilization, they are rich.

However, such a miracle actually happened in the wild land deep in the land!

This is simply unbelievable!

However, now is not the time to talk about these things.

Restraining his surprised expression, Yun Song looked at Chu Guang and said in a serious tone.

There are 20 wounded in our team, can we provide them with beds to rest before we settle down?

Wounded? Chu Guang looked at him slightly surprised.

Yun Song nodded, and said with a heavy face.

When we passed through Yongdong City, we encountered a group of slime mold creatures disguised as survivors. Four brothers stayed there forever, and another 20 brothers suffered from various degrees of infection during the battle.

Their symptoms are rare, and in addition to irritability, they are accompanied by increased food intake, lethargy, and uncontrollable violent behavior.

We don't have professional medical equipment and personnel to deal with their conditions, and we don't have cryo-hibernation equipment to alleviate their pain. We can only give them regular injections of sedatives.

Taking them on the road is a burden, and it will be very dangerous for them. We intend to keep them with you for the time being.

There will be a corporate caravan coming back from the west in July. They will bring our wounded back to Ideal City. I'm afraid you will have to take care of them for a while...Of course, we will pay you a fee.

Hearing the words of the commando captain in front of him, Chu Guang's expression also changed slightly.

Slime molds masquerading as survivors?

Has the brood in Yongdong City developed to that extent?

What surprised Chu Guang even more was that even this group of professional soldiers, who were armed to the teeth with high-tech equipment, were caught off guard by the slime mold fruiting bodies there.

If I remember correctly, Bach, who runs an aluminum factory in the northern suburbs, seems to have been parasitized in that Yongdong City.

I'll let my doctor take a look at it for you. Chu Guang said seriously.

Although he didn't have much hope for the small clinic here, Yun Song still nodded.

Trouble.

...

The reception banquet was held in the barracks, and these big soldiers were not picky about the dining environment.

Rather, after so many days of living in the open air, having a table to eat made them very happy.

Not to mention the gourmet rumors.

When they just crossed the border of the River Valley Province, many people were already full of expectations.

And at this moment, this expectation has indeed not been fulfilled.

More than 20 round tables were placed in the open space. The middle of the table was hollowed out, and a large pot was set inside.

Stones were piled under the pot, and a hot charcoal fire was burning inside. Bubbles were rolling in the boiling pot, and the white air blowing towards the face was mixed with an alluring aroma, which made everyone sitting at the table swallow their saliva.

Thinly sliced ​​meat and various meatballs are placed in a wooden frame on the table. In addition, there are sliced ​​cabbage, bean sprouts with water drops, mushrooms, tofu cubes, instant noodle cakes and so on.

Staring at the pot for a while, and the ingredients on the table for a while, a corporate soldier sitting at the table couldn't help asking.

...What is this? How should I eat it?

Hot pot is a very common way of eating here. Put the ingredients in like this and cook them, then take them out and eat. While talking with a smile, Lu Bei, who was sitting at the table, gave a demonstration.

I saw him pick up a slice of paper-thin beef with chopsticks, put it into the pot and rinse it twice, then take it out, dip it into the saucer, and stuff it into his mouth.

Seeing that he was eating so deliciously, the other soldiers sitting on the round table moved their index fingers and followed suit.

The two groups of people ate and chatted, and the lively atmosphere was like white mist floating out of a pot.

At first everyone was a little rusty.

But after drinking a few slices of beef with beer, they soon became acquainted and opened up the conversation completely.

Seeing the way this group of people devoured their food, the soldiers of the Guards Corps who ate at the same table asked curiously.

By the way, don't you have hot pot there?

I heard that Ideal City is a very wealthy place, and it claims to be the utopia closest to the era of prosperity in this wasteland.

Compared with that place, their neighbor Boulder was as insignificant as dust on a diamond.

Although the rumors are exaggerated, looking at these voracious guys, Lu Bei can't imagine how rich there can be.

Several enterprise soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

I don't know, I'm an F-level employee.

I'm rank E, and I should be able to rise to D when I go back.

The treatment of the defense department has been upgraded by half, but the Cr you get is just to buy some ordinary food.

We don't pay much attention to cooking methods there, but protein and fat are not very lacking.

Restaurants prepare the food and serve it up, and the taste is usually not so strong.

At this time, a corporate soldier who was too busy eating nonsense and didn't participate in the topic raised his head, and couldn't help but swear with envy.

Damn... do you eat like this every day?

Lu Bei smiled embarrassedly.

It's not every day... just occasionally.

Who can stand eating hot pot every day?

Even if the stomach can stand it, the buttocks can't stand it.

There are quite a lot of good things on the North Street of Shuguang City, and the treatment given to the soldiers by the New Alliance is also good, so they won't stare at one thing and eat it.

Hearing what the friendly army said, those corporate soldiers who looked envious finally showed a balanced expression.

really.

Such delicious food is not something you can afford every day...

...

Due to the rush of time, there was no time to prepare dinner for more than two hundred people, so Chu Guang had an idea and simply invited them to eat hot pot.

This kind of food that can be cooked while eating is not very troublesome to prepare, and it can even be cut while eating, and the hot pot base is pre-made.

It was also Chu Guang's arrangement for the soldiers of the Guards Corps to dine with the corporate soldiers from afar.

The main reason for doing this is to enhance the friendship between the two parties and eliminate each other's wariness.

Of course, there is another part of the reason, which is to borrow their signboard.

Chu Guang had heard long ago that the nobles and wealthy businessmen in Boulder City are the number one dog licking of the enterprise. The industrial system of the entire outer city, and even the layout of some blocks in the city, were all modeled after enterprises and improved.

Commodities from Ideal City, especially high-tech products, can often be sold at sky-high prices in the inner city of Boulder City.

If it weren't for the reluctance to part with the benefits in the city and the long distance, those nobles would have gone to the east coast to enjoy their blessings.

Thinking of this, Chu Guang, who was sitting at the dining table, couldn't help but have an intriguing smile on his face.

If this photo appeared on the headlines of Survivor's Daily tomorrow, I don't know how those nobles in the inner city would feel.

The enterprise's visiting group arrived in the northern suburbs with the 26th commando of the Ministry of the Army and started friendly exchanges with the Union Guards.

He even thought of the title of the news for the newly established newspaper.

What are these noodles made of? Another piece of instant noodle cake was put into the hot pot, and the adjutant of the commando couldn't help asking.

There are still mere noodles in Ideal City, but this is the first time he has seen this kind of fried noodles.

Although fried carbohydrates sound very unhealthy at first, they taste surprisingly good.

Especially when cooked in a spicy pot, the taste is absolutely amazing!

Maybe it was because he was hungry on the way, but his mouth has not stopped from the first bite to now.

This is already the third bowl he has eaten!

...a kind of convenience food that can be cooked in a hot pot or brewed in boiling water. You guys came in a hurry. If you tell us a day or two in advance, I can prepare more hearty food here. Chu Guang said with a smile.

It can be seen that the company has not invested much budget in them.

Even the logistics are outsourced to the merchants in the wasteland.

The man sitting on the right side of Yunsong is a merchant accompanying the army. His name is Heding, and he claims to be a merchant walking on the wasteland.

However, being able to be in charge of the logistics of the expedition team does not look like an ordinary merchant.

...Eat while cooking, I have never seen such a strange way of eating.

Chewing slowly, the businessman named Heding had an expression of interest on his face.

It seemed like a business opportunity had been discovered.

Aren't there any other places? Chu Guang asked casually.

There are similar ones, but the taste is not as strong... After taking a sip of beer, Heding suddenly changed the topic and said, looking like Chu Guang, Can I inquire about the recipe of the seasoning? Of course, I can buy it with money.

Chu Guang said with a smile.

This is not a secret. If you are interested, you might as well talk to the chef later.

Heding shook his head and said in a joking tone.

I have been in business for so many years, and the first experience I learned is that free things are the most expensive, so give me a chance to pay for them and deliver them.

Chu Guang gave him a slightly surprised look.

It seems that this guy is not easy to fool.

But think about it too.

Most of the crew members on the Pioneer are engineers, and it's normal that they don't know how to do business.

This guy is a serious businessman, and he obviously has a lot of dealings with the survivors' residences outside Ideal City.

Those tricks that I have tried time and again are probably not so effective for him.

Chu Guang said straightforwardly: No problem! But let's talk about this matter after the banquet is over.

Harding said with a smile.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity. In fact, it's not just hot pot...I'm also interested in this instant noodle cake.

Although the nutritional value does not seem high, I guess it should not be difficult to preserve, and it can provide a lot of calories. If it is eaten with some dehydrated vegetables, it might be very popular with mercenaries and caravans .”

sure.

This guy has something!

Chu Guang looked at him more and more surprised.

Although this is not something that is difficult to think of.

But it's really not easy for this guy to be able to smell the business opportunities in the bowl before the meal is finished.

With a hearty smile, Chu Guang said.

you caught me!

The best-selling group of our instant noodles is really mercenaries, followed by caravans traveling far.

Heding said with interest.

Can you expand on that?

no problem!

Chu Guang found that he and this guy had a good chat, especially when they talked about investing in factories, expanding sales, and opening up the market in Yunjian Province.

But at this moment, Chu Guang suddenly noticed that the captain named Yun Song seemed to be a little absent-minded about eating, so he expressed concern.

Is it not to your liking?

No, your food is very delicious, thank you for your hospitality, Yun Song sighed, staring at the wine bottle on the table, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, I'm just worried about those injured brothers.

Chu Guang could feel his mood at the moment, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort him.

Don't worry, our hospital is not as good as yours, but our doctors and biologists are definitely professional. Especially the research on brood and slime mold, we have been dealing with those ghost things for a long time gone.

While talking, the VM on his arm suddenly flickered, and a line of pop-up windows popped up on the screen.

Chu Guang reached out and opened it, and found that the message was from Heya.

[The inhibitor has been injected, and the injured are in stable condition. 】

His eyebrows were raised in surprise, and a happy smile appeared on Chu Guang's face immediately.

...Just as I was talking, the good news came.
