This Game Is Too Realistic

boulder city.

In the conference room on the third floor of the city hall, there was no sound on the long conference table, only the cigarette ash that shook from time to time and the nicotine that would never go away remained.

The legion is gone.

In other words, they ran with their tails between their legs, and they probably didn't care about the River Valley Province for a long time.

This is something to be happy about.

However……

Everyone sitting at the conference table was not happy at all.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was so solemn that it didn't look like a meeting, but rather like a funeral.

The only thing that didn't fit into the funeral-like atmosphere was probably the brown shirt that Dulong was wearing under the black coat.

It wasn't until he was sitting here that he realized that he was wearing it backwards, but it was too late to change it, so he could only fiddle with the collar of his coat repeatedly.

The meeting lasted from midnight until dawn.

Trying to hold up his heavy eyelids, Du Long quietly glanced around the people at the conference table again, trying to read some changes in their positions from their expressions.

Still no clue.

In order to ease the stiff atmosphere at the conference table, he cleared his throat and spoke in a tactful tone.

...At least, he didn't lie to us.

Seeing that no one interrupted him, Du Long continued.

Not a single bullet last night...not even a bullet casing fell on our huge wall, and the ammunition they fired was undoubtedly a fireworks shell.

I don't think we need to be overly nervous. The league is a very friendly neighbor. They have always cared about their relationship with us.

When saying these words, Du Long put his posture very low, and used a soliciting tone. After all, few people sitting here have lower status than him.

Except for Malvin, the president of the Bank of Boulder City, and Jaeger, the deputy director who always had conflicts with him, the rest of the people were either nobles in the inner city, or officers in the militia... and the latter were the real people in Boulder City. the dignitaries.

In contrast, he is more like a servant of the Lord of the City, a butler who takes care of non-core business for him.

Several people at the conference table exchanged glances and whispered a few words.

The expressions of several nobles in the inner city softened a little, and they felt that what he said seemed to make sense. After all, the alliance did not take the initiative to provoke them, and sold them many interesting gadgets, which enriched their day and night.

Only the man in the military uniform of the militia regiment still stared at Dulong with a straight face, his expression unchanged, and snorted coldly as an answer.

Oh? So we have to thank them?

His name is Wei Lun, he is the captain of the 1,000th Militia of Boulder City, a veteran nobleman in the inner city, and the most difficult hardliner to deal with.

Although isolation is the consensus of the inner city residents of Boulder City, how to isolate and how to isolate is something that can be discussed.

You misunderstood, I didn't mean that.

Du Long sighed softly, looked at the officer with a headache, and continued.

Let's look at the problem objectively. Isn't it better for the airship...or the 400mm main gun to fall into the hands of the Alliance than to have it in the hands of the Legion? Claw crabs are also relatively civilized.

The officer narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly.

You mean I'm not objective enough?

Dulong: ...

Seeing that the meeting had reached a stalemate again, Melvin, who was sitting at the corner of the long table, coughed lightly and said in a smooth tone.

I think Mr. Director should want to express that the situation we are facing has improved a lot compared to half a month ago, and there is no need to frown like this.

Seeing his ally speak, Dulong immediately followed his words.

That's what I mean.

Sitting next to Wei Lun, an officer in charge of city defense suddenly said with emotion.

Automated anti-aircraft firepower, hundreds of cannons... God the Great Horned Deer, how did they break through that thing.

At 7:58 last night, the alliance set off fireworks for an hour and two minutes, and the anti-aircraft guns and missiles on the giant wall were also loaded and on standby all night.

If the dense pyrotechnics had been replaced by proximity-fuzed shells, not a single plane at Boulder would have successfully taken off.

After all, even if a vertical take-off and landing fighter can switch to fixed-wing mode, it still needs a distance of more than ten kilometers to complete the acceleration.

Prior to this, cutting it down did not require very sophisticated technology, a single round of broadside fire would suffice.

There is no doubt that the hillbillies in the northern suburbs are showing their poor muscles in the name of celebration.

Thinking of this, the officer couldn't help gritting his teeth and cursing in his heart.

It was just a fluke to win a game with the legion, so he showed off his might in front of them.

This villain's proud face...

Too much to beat!

I still have that point of view, Wei Lun said blankly, We should tighten our aid to them! Immediately!

Dulong sighed.

for example?

Weilun said without hesitation.

Suspension of loans! Suspension of trade with the north!

Dulong was not surprised at all that he would say that, the big bosses of these militia regiments didn't know that daily necessities were expensive.

He was about to say something.

However, before he could open his mouth, a luxuriously dressed man said everything he wanted to say.

The latter one is unrealistic. What you eat, wear, and use... all come from the trade between us and other survivor settlements.

Du Long glanced at this person. He recognized this person. His name was Sid. He was a well-known nobleman in the inner city and also the major shareholder behind Weijia Trading Company.

This guy's business is not limited to Weijia Trading Company, and not only in Boulder City, but also in the farms in the south and the mercenary regiment raised there.

At the same time, Dulong also noticed the devil's silk clothes on his body and the leather shoes made of death claw leather on his feet.

In a sense, what he said was indeed correct, all his food and clothing expenses did come from trade with outsiders.

As soon as Sid's words fell, another inner city nobleman who was also not low in status spoke immediately.

That's right, and it's unrealistic to suspend trade with a certain party alone! After leaving the giant wall, those caravans will not let you know where they went. Even if you close the northern gate, even if you only leave the southern gate , as long as the business in the northern suburbs is still profitable, they will run in a big circle.

Weilun's brows twitched.

Although his attitude is still tough, he may have realized that his words did not go through his brain, so he changed his words and made a slight concession.

Ignore the trade, at least the loan must be stopped!

He knew the money was in the Boulder Bank.

It is very easy to stop the loan, you only need to move your fingers to freeze hundreds of millions of chips.

The nobles didn't have any objections, anyway, the money bags of the alliance had nothing to do with them, but just when Wei Lun was about to show a smile on his face, the bank president, Melvin, coughed dryly, and suddenly said.

About this... I also have something to say.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he continued.

Those loans were not so much aid to them as to ourselves. The residents of Boulder couldn't afford to buy our stuff, and at least half of the factories would closed because of that.”

Hearing this, Sid hurriedly spoke.

That can't be done! Loans can't be stopped!

All the nobles nodded in agreement and expressed almost the same opinion.

That's right!

The idea of ​​stopping loans is so stupid! Our factories are already open, stop their loans, who will pay the workers!

Even if you want to stop, you have to wait for those country bumpkins to settle the payment!

Seeing more and more allies on his side, Melvin breathed a sigh of relief and continued to strike while the iron was hot.

That's what I think too. We can't let that stop an economy that has been stagnant for a century and finally showing signs of recovery ... at least not now.

The officer sitting next to Wei Lun couldn't help but clenched his fists and scolded.

Is it just watching them grow bigger?

Du Long said softly.

I have to say about this, their power is indeed growing, but we are also getting stronger.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the 3,000 mercenaries who were hired to fight on the front line, excluding those who died, and those who stayed there, at least one or two thousand came back... They are all soldiers who have been on the battlefield, aren't they? The kind of battlefield where slime mold is cleaned is a hot battle of firepower against firepower, we can definitely recruit them and train them as grassroots officers!

He had always dreamed of having his own armed forces in the city hall, and now was undoubtedly the best chance.

Seeing that Wei Lun fell into deep thought, Du Long felt slightly happy, but before he could be happy, his ally Malvin suddenly betrayed him.

About military expansion... I don't think that's necessary. We just need to ensure that we have the ability to destroy each other with our neighbors. They depend on us economically and will depend on us even more in the future, and those loans are tied around their necks. chains on the .

joke.

Once the military expansion means tax increases, the city hall doesn't care, but he can't help it.

The residents of the outer city are almost exhausted, and there is no oil or water left. It is only because of the recent increase in jobs that the situation has improved a little.

It was obvious where the money would come from.

Ignoring Dulong's frantic gaze towards him, Malvin continued.

If our city lord has no plans to expand the territory, raising so many troops will only become a burden for us.

The nobles sitting at the conference table also nodded.

Most of them own property in the city. If the army expands, it will inevitably lead to tax increases, which will further increase their operating costs.

At least on this matter, their position is consistent with that of Boulder City Bank.

Wei Lun frowned.

He could ignore the opinions of Dulong and the Malvern president, but he couldn't ignore the nobles sitting here.

Two centuries of intermarriage have entangled the inner city's power structure.

Especially those veteran nobles, many of them did not buy tickets to enter the inner city, but were in the original building from the very beginning.

Some of them maintain the operation of the core business of the city lord, and some manage assets in distant worlds. Even the city lord will listen to their opinions.

At least listen selectively.

At this moment, Malvin coughed lightly, and smoothed things over again.

Actually, don't worry too much, our neighbors are very trustworthy...

After a pause, he continued.

Just yesterday, the man sent by the manager sent us 12 boxes of treasures. Those are the collections of General McCollen. The valuation given by my professional evaluation team is 8-9.6 million chips ...the money will serve as an advance payment to repay the interest for the next three years.

Before the words fell, his eyes became hot when he saw the nobles.

Especially the shareholders of Boulder City Bank.

Although these treasures went into the bank's vaults and were not directly related to them, these treasures will soon appear at auction.

Chips are just numbers to them, and the money spent can preserve their value forever, whether it is buying real estate, rare metals, imported products from Ideal City, or treasures from the pre-war era.

Legion Captain's Collection...

Surely they will not be disappointed.

The atmosphere on the conference table suddenly became lively, the excited whispers and sleepless faces caught Du Long and Wei Lun sitting at the table by surprise for a while.

I didn't expect those bumpkins to be quite generous.

This is not generosity, this is the interest that should be paid to us!

A noble said with emotion.

War... money comes so fast.

Looking at the nobles talking excitedly, Malvin heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.

It seems that this card is played at the right time...

...

If you want to say who is the most unacceptable to terminate the financial cooperation with the alliance, it is undoubtedly Boulder City Bank.

The bankruptcy of the factory in Boulder City, although it will make the nobles in the inner city feel uncomfortable and unable to eat, and even live in a difficult life, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones.

However, Malvern is different.

His bank is not only a creditor of the alliance, but also lends money to the factories in Boulder City, allowing those factory owners to expand production.

If the alliance's loan is frozen, those factories will not be able to receive it, and will not be able to repay his money. A large area of ​​bad debts will instantly detonate systemic risks.

That is, liquidity dries up.

Those country bumpkins in the northern suburbs were very cunning. As soon as they got the loan, they signed a lot of orders with the factory in Boulder City, and the production tasks were even scheduled for next year.

Malvern only realized now why the representatives of the alliance were so forthright when they signed the contract, including a series of unequal treaties that could not be used for spot transactions, including the scope of use of chips, including the establishment of regulatory accounts, and so on.

Ganqing, these guys had already thought about it from the very beginning, and they wanted to tie him to their chariot.

There is no doubt that he is the richest man in the city, but not all of his money is his own, a large part of it is put by others.

Including the residents of the outer city, the nobles of the inner city, and even the city lord. In addition to private accounts, there are taxes from the city hall, military expenses from the militia, and so on.

If this goes wrong...

It can't be solved by burning a few ledgers and killing a few people.

Thinking of the series of consequences, Melvin was a little bit dumbfounded while having a headache.

He, who had never been to the alliance, was forced to become half of the alliance, and even had to withstand the pressure from the inner city for the alliance...

And he couldn't quit.

Because those people gave too many benefits...

The meeting is over and we finally go home.

Sitting on the soft sofa, Malvin rubbed his sore eye bags, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

These crafty skunks...

Arisa, who was reading the newspaper, tilted her head.

dad?

It's nothing... my good daughter, Malvin immediately put on a gentle expression, pampering and pampering his daughter's fluffy hair, Daddy is just a little tired, just rest for a while.

Alisa blinked, Bingxue said smartly.

Because of the war?

It doesn't count, but it has something to do with it... Melvin sighed, and said to himself wearily, The most ideal situation is that the alliance takes our money and loses both sides in the battle with the legion, so that we can While doing business with the alliance that wants us, let the alliance do things according to our requirements.

But there was an accident, and they got the airship. Alyssa said thoughtfully.

Glancing at the newspaper in her hand, Malvin smiled and nodded.

That's right...they got the airship and told us with fireworks that they've fixed it and even played with it...these cunning little foxes.

Isn't it a skunk?

Cough, Melvin coughed dryly, Don't talk like Dad... By the way, what am I talking about these boring things for?

He doesn't want his lovely little daughter to think about those annoying things. His two sons are very good people. One is familiar with business in the inner city, and the other travels in the ideal city. He can safely entrust the future of the family to them .

Malvin yawned.

It's getting late, and your music teacher will be here soon... You'd better put away the newspaper, otherwise your mother will be upset again if she sees it.

Alisa made a helpless expression and put down the newspaper in her hand.

All right……

That voice was full of reluctance,

She dragged out the last syllable...

...

Before the dawn of the wasteland.

The night's celebration has come to an end, but the excitement on the forum is still going on.

And the cause of everything is naturally because of the announcement made by the dog planner A Guang.

[The Battle of Ruigu City campaign rewards have been issued, and the lucky draw is open for a limited time. Please exchange your points for prizes in time! 】

[The Wanli of Yellow Sand expansion pack is officially launched. In order to consolidate the fruits of victory, we will support our neighbors and drive the legions that spread chaos and plague to the west of the desert! 】

[Expeditionary Army registration is open! (Remarks: Only combat occupations are counted, life occupation players don’t have to worry, there will be exclusive expansion pack related tasks released later.)]

Roushan Big Momo: !!! What did you get?

Picking up rubbish level 99: Awwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Gather up at the gate of No. 117! Sewer mission! Departure on time at 7:00, brush up the sequence level and come quickly!

...

Looking at the noisy little players on the forum, Chu Guang was also sincerely happy for them.

Although he was bleeding a lot this time, and the alliance spent the expected budget for the entire year in just one month, his little players have reaped a lot.

The rewards of most players are above 2,000 silver coins, enough to buy a Miner Type I exoskeleton, and many players who have made outstanding contributions even have rewards of more than 20,000 silver coins.

Excluding a series of expenses such as ammunition, supplies, weapon loss, logistics loss, etc., the direct rewards issued to the players in this battle alone reached 30 million silver coins!

This is not counting the cost of the lottery.

At present, the silver price on the official website trading platform is also fluctuating violently, but Chu Guang doesn't care much about it.

A bank exchange is not a casino, let alone a wealth management product.

It is a financing channel for the closed beta Wasteland OL and the players, or a tool he uses to pay wages and subsidies to the players.

After the trading volume shrinks to a suitable position and most speculators leave the market, he will put some technologies that are not too difficult for the 21st century to digest.

Alternatives are jet fuel, there are laser assemblies for igniting controlled fusion, etc... these are pre-boom era technologies.

As for how to properly use these technologies, that is not something he worries about, and I believe he does not need to worry about it.

Chu Guang also discovered it suddenly.

Although his business ability was a little rusty at the beginning, after staying in the position of manager for a long time, he became more and more proficient in handling these affairs.

In addition, the points accumulated from the last expansion to the present have finally come in handy.

Excluding the small fraction of the primary blind box and the intermediate blind box, most of the equipment issued by the advanced blind box, he listed them as prizes in the lottery on the official website.

Chu Guang divided the rewards into three reward pools.

The first-level reward pool is mainly the loot captured from the legion, as well as the basic weapons produced by the alliance, the light weapons aided by the Boulder City military, etc., and the value is between 1 and 500 silver coins.

The secondary reward pool is mainly some relatively expensive equipment, including weapon accessories and exoskeletons, with a value ranging from 500 silver coins to 2000 silver coins.

The third-level reward pool is mostly the prizes that Chu Guang opened the blind box himself, as well as the good things he got from Ideal City and so on.

The quality of these equipments is quite good. Chu Guang believes that his young players can give full play to their brains and bring out their maximum value in appropriate occasions.

As for Chu Guang himself, the demand for equipment is not that great.

Not to mention that he doesn't have many chances to go to the front line, this costume itself is close to full match, if you really give him another ax, it won't change from Karl Franz to Hill Dwarf up?

That's too lucrative!

Now that even Nicole is wearing an exoskeleton, Chu Guang even has the confidence to overthrow a tank alone on the frontal battlefield.

It is no exaggeration to say that.

After all, the nitrogen-powered hammer itself is used to destroy bunkers and anti-armor.

In addition, apart from the high-tech equipment from those blind boxes, Chu Guang was even more surprised by the changes in himself.

This time back from the front.

His level has finally broken through level 30!
