This Game Is Too Realistic

The celebration lasted until midnight.

On the last night in the Great Desert, if Chu Guang hadn't planned a time-limited unboxing event on the official website, those noisy little players would have liked to be in the game until dawn.

These guys really can't wait to live in the game world...

The next day, Chu Guang woke up early.

Yawning and opening the curtain, he just stepped out of the tent when he saw Rama standing at the door wearing the ten-style Oath exoskeleton.

This set of exoskeletons was seized from the Enlightenment Society. The model belongs to the standard equipment of the People's Federation Army. Compared with the five-style light cavalry used by the police, it emphasizes the defense against rifle bullets and explosive fragments.

After the alliance repaired it, it was repainted with a layer of cement gray paint, and the identification friend or foe mark was pasted on it, so it was regarded as the equipment of the alliance.

In order to get acquainted with the use of the exoskeleton as soon as possible, since receiving this set of equipment, she has worn it almost even to sleep.

Seeing Chu Guang walking out of the tent, Lu Bei, who was guarding the door, immediately stepped forward to salute him, and reported.

My lord, she has been standing here since dawn.

Chu Guang nodded, looked at Rama who was standing at the door, and said in a gentle tone.

Is there a problem?

Following Lu Bei's example and sticking his right fist to his chest, Lama lowered his head and said respectfully.

You told me last night that I will arrange my future work this morning.

It seems that there is such a thing.

Chu Guang originally planned to ask Captain Adria what was the matter with him last night, but thinking that the big nose probably hadn't woken up yet, he looked at Lama and said.

Since you have put on this suit of armor, you must have made up your mind, so I won't talk nonsense.

After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

Come with me, and I'll introduce someone to you.

who?

Your future partner.

partner?

Rama was stunned for a moment, but saw that Chu Guang had passed by her and was walking towards the other side of the camp, so he followed closely.

A group of people came to a tent.

It just so happened that the curtain of the tent opened, and a fair and beautiful face came into Rama's eyes.

It was a dignified woman with long pale blonde hair tied into a high ponytail with a plain headband.

In the first reaction when seeing her, Lama had a thought in her heart, that person was not from the same world as herself at all.

Even if she only wears a very ordinary coat and dirt-resistant denim trousers, it is difficult to completely conceal the elegance of her gestures.

A distant concept appeared in Rama's mind, that person was like the ladies of those big landowners, but not so much.

Dear Master Manager...good morning. Seeing the Manager, Teresa said with a surprised expression on her face and bowed slightly.

It's the same for you, good morning.

After a brief greeting, Chu Guang looked at Lama beside him, and introduced, This is the girl I mentioned to you on the phone.

Hearing these words, Teresa's eyes lit up, and she looked at the lady wearing the exoskeleton.

Are you Miss Rama?

Rama responded with an embarrassed expression.

Yes, it's me... May I ask who you are?

Teresa bent her lips and said happily.

My name is Teresa, a resident from the Alliance...but it may be a bit strange to say that, from now on this place is also one of the recovery areas of the Alliance.

She used to be one of the princesses of the Falcon Kingdom, but now she has given up this identity and is now a resident of the Alliance.

Looking at the bewildered Rama, Chu Guang briefly introduced Teresa's past, and then continued.

At first, she worked as a miscellaneous and bookkeeping job in the refugee's home. After the establishment of Fallen Leaf City, she followed the expeditionary force through the Lion Kingdom and arrived in the Honey Badger Kingdom. She was responsible for coordinating and managing relief supplies, part of the post-war reconstruction work, and helping local survivors.

According to her former boss, Ma Ban, the lord of Fallen Leaf City, and her former partner, Yard Honeybadger, she has performed outstandingly at work, so I intend to appoint her as the lord of the pioneering city to handle this Administrative and management affairs of settlements.

Like several other survivor settlements, the first city lord of Pioneer City is still appointed by the Alliance.

Chu Guang needs a candidate who has sufficient management experience and practical experience, has done specific rescue work for survivors, and can understand the creed of the alliance.

As for identity.

This has never been an issue in the league.

His chief of staff was originally a Weilante officer who surrendered. The lord of Dawn City was once a serf, and the lord of Dawn City was a refugee who deserted the army before.

As for Rama, he has no management experience, and he himself prefers to be a soldier instead of sitting in an office and processing documents.

Holding Rama's hands, Teresa stared intently at the girl's simple eyes, and said in a serious tone.

I have heard your stories, and I am deeply moved by your determination to stay for those who have not been saved. I also want to do something for you through my own efforts... I also hope that you can put your strength in the future. Lend me!

Stared at by those fiery eyes, Rama's expression became more and more embarrassed, and his voice hesitated a little unconsciously.

I, I actually just made up my mind to become a soldier. I may not be very proficient in shooting, and I may not be as reliable as you imagined...

Where is it?

Curving the corner of her mouth, Teresa said softly.

No one will ever attend the meeting. Courage and determination are more important than the result. In my opinion, you are the most reliable candidate.

Before I joined the alliance, I was just a vase placed in the palace. It was not until I met many people that I gradually realized that the meaning of life can have many more worthwhile things besides the designed part. What you are after...Compared to me, who is belatedly aware, you who dare to take the initiative to stand up and face the barbarism in the wasteland are already very strong.

Rama's overly tense expression couldn't help but loosen a bit, and his sunken eye sockets turned slightly red unconsciously.

Chu Guang glanced at Teresa in surprise.

I haven't seen each other for a while, and this guy has really grown up a lot.

He has already seen some shadows of a politician in her, but some places are not mature yet.

Open City will be a challenge for her.

There are not many people in this survivor colony, but in the future it will accept many survivors from the great desert. Among them are wastelanders, blue coats, and even old popsicles from two hundred years ago.

How to deal with the relationship between different groups, use limited resources to solve the needs of each group, let people unite instead of internal friction in conflicts... The problems that need her to solve will be as high as a hill.

But Chu Guang still has confidence in this guy.

Leaving aside the resume, if she can clear the dungeon of Honey Badger City with the bloodline Debuff, she can basically graduate from herself.

But every time he thought of this, Chu Guang couldn't help but wonder.

This idiot Lu Bei has been with him for so long, and he is so close. Logically speaking, he should have gained some knowledge, but the result is still the same.

Apart from admiring himself more than before, this young man has not changed at all.

Chu Guang doesn't dislike this loyal young man. Loyalty is a valuable quality. It's just a pity that he still has a long way to go to become a pillar of his own.

Originally, Chu Guang wanted to release him to be the commander of the Third Corps of the Alliance, but now it seems that the Guards Corps is more suitable for him.

Withdrawing his gaze from Teresa, Chu Guang looked at Rama.

I said that I will explain the specific work to you today.

The alliance intends to establish a new corps. This corps is mainly engaged in search and reconnaissance missions. It is positioned as a special operation. It will be stationed in the desert area for a long time, and will use the pioneering city as a base to carry out activities.

You will be the commander of this corps. Your task is not only to search for survivors in the ruins and destroy the mutant tribes, but also to recruit reliable partners from the rescued survivors and teach them how to use weapons. Encourage them to join your cause.

After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

As Teresa said, being unskilled has never been a problem here, and people never show up... I hope that by this time next year, I can see an excellent regiment commander and a group of experienced soldiers.

His right fist hit his chest, Rama said solemnly.

I will definitely live up to your expectations!

Chu Guang smiled, looked at the brave girl and nodded, then turned his gaze to the tents of the survivors in the distance.

Those people chose to stay with you.

Just don't disappoint their expectations.

...

Regarding the name of this newly established corps, Chu Guang originally planned to ask Rama for his own opinion, but he himself was in a daze and could not make up his mind.

In the end, the troublesome job of naming was thrown back into Chu Guang's hands.

He really didn't have any good ideas, and he didn't want to waste time on trivial issues, so he simply opened a voting post on the forum to solicit players' opinions.

To Chu Guang's surprise, the players were enthusiastic about the things he found troublesome, and they started to make suggestions for him.

It's just that the name is varied.

What the Eleventh Star Wars Troopers, the Sisters of Battle have emerged... What do these guys think of the Alliance?

In the end, Chu Guang chose a slightly more reliable and easy-to-remember name, and simplified it compared with the names of other regiments in the alliance.

... How about the Thorn Corps?

Thorns Corps...

Repeating the name silently in his mouth, Rama suddenly seemed to have received some inexplicable revelation, or inspiration.

She pressed her right fist to her chest and said in a solemn voice.

Thank you, Master Manager, for giving me the name.

From the looks of it, she seemed very happy with the name.

Chu Guang nodded and said happily.

Then it's decided.

In this way, the Thorn Corps was formally established.

From the wilderness, they will choose like-minded partners from among the rescued survivors.

Of course, the Thorn Corps, like other NPC Corps, also welcomes players who are interested in the Great Desert to join.

...

Not long after Chu Guang handed over the specific work of the Thorn Corps to Rama, Captain Adria finally woke up from his deep sleep.

Shaking his head with a splitting headache, Adria grabbed his bodyguard and said with saliva.

...Where's Chu Guang? The manager of the alliance...you go and call him, and say that I have something important to discuss with him!

Looking at the officer who was still drunk, the guard said dumbfoundedly.

My lord, the alliance's airship is ready to anchor, and I saw their manager next to the gondola... If you sleep a little longer, you probably won't be able to see him.

Hearing this, Adria was shocked, and the wine sobered up instantly.

Anchor?

The guard nodded.

Hmm... I heard that they plan to return to the River Valley Province.

Take me there!

Seeing Adria who turned over and got off the bed, the guard froze for two seconds, and quickly responded.

yes!

Regardless of washing up, Adria put on his coat and went out, trotting all the way, and finally found Chu Guang before the Heart of Steel put down the anchor chain.

This guy drank a lot yesterday, and there was a strong smell of alcohol all over his body, which made Chu Guang frowned and took a step back.

By the way, this guy is quite nervous. He dared to get drunk in the enemy camp within half a month after the ceasefire agreement was signed.

He was busy explaining the work of the new settlement and the Corps just now, and he almost forgot about this guy.

Hic—thank you for your hospitality, Adria rubbed her swollen eyes, barely cheered herself up, and then cleared her throat vigorously in order to make herself look less sloppy, Next time I have a chance, I invite you Have a drink or two.

Seeing this guy's drunk appearance, Chu Guang made a joke.

You're welcome, as long as you don't feel embarrassed, you can stay here tonight.

Still feeling embarrassed, Adria coughed dryly with a blushing old face, and continued, I have a proposal.

Chu Guang: Speak.

Adria spoke quickly.

Your camp is so big, and now a group of people have left, and so many barracks are empty, why don't you borrow some from us?

The soldiers of the alliance have been expanding the camp before, and many of the barracks were left there after they were built. Not to mention how complete the living facilities are, but at least there is water and electricity. It must be much more comfortable to live in than the broken tents they carried on the airship up.

It is now November, and winter has already entered the northern hemisphere. Even though this year is a mild winter as usual, it will snow in December at the latest.

Especially considering the specific heat capacity of the sand, the nighttime temperature in the desert can be as low as minus ten degrees, living in that kind of linen tent might freeze to death...

Looking at Captain Adria who looked embarrassed, Chu Guang didn't make things difficult for him, and asked casually.

How much do you want?

A hundred rooms...

Seeing that Chu Guang's eyes gradually became weird, Adria quickly explained, Of course, I don't borrow your house for nothing... I will pay for it! How about paying in dinars?

Looking at Adria who hurriedly explained, Chu Guang couldn't help being a little funny.

If it was an ordinary wastelander, or a smaller settlement of survivors, these big-nosed people might have already grabbed it, and there would be no negotiation to pay.

This bargaining look is really not like those military officers with a nose bridge.

Pay? I want dinars for what good.

Seeing Captain Adria who still wanted to win over, Chu Guang suddenly felt moved, and continued, Let your governor talk to me, I can't tell you.

Seeing that things had turned around, Adria, whose mood had just fallen to the bottom, was overjoyed and said immediately.

Okay! Just wait for me!

You'd better hurry up, Chu Guang glanced at the time on the VM, and said briefly, We plan to leave at noon.

...

Without staying in the alliance's camp, Captain Adria immediately returned to the camp next to the Judgment airship, contacted Governor Cohen, who was waking up from a 100-square-meter luxurious bedroom, through the ship's communicator, and reported to him and The difficulties of the officers.

To sum it up in one sentence, the adjudicator's failure is not small, and it will take a lot of time to completely repair it. If there were no accidents, these more than a thousand people would have to spend the winter in the great desert.

Although food and drink can be transported from the Falcon Kingdom, safety is still a problem that cannot be solved.

Especially the Enlightenment Society is watching from the dark, and no one can guarantee whether the rats in the gutter will come back.

After listening to Captain Adria's grievances, Cohen had no choice but to bite the bullet and send a communication request to Chu Guang, expressing his hope to rent some of the barracks in the camp and provide them to Weilan who was stranded in the desert. special people.

However, after hearing Chu Guang's price offer, Cohen couldn't hold back his anger.

100 silver coins a day for a room?! Are you crazy?

Looking at Cohen in the holographic image, Chu Guang said without blushing.

The entire Dawn City is at this price. Of course, if you pay monthly rent, I can also give you a 10% discount.

Of course, this is not the price of Dawn City.

Take the road town hotel in Dawn City as an example, the cheapest room even costs less than 10 silver coins a day.

However, this did not prevent him from slapping these Willant people with a false price.

Chu Guang knew very well that even if he doubled his quotation, it would definitely be more cost-effective than building a camp in the desert.

Among other things, just talking about the problem of fresh water supply, the current situation of the Willant people is almost unsolvable.

If they wanted to drill wells in the desert to get water, they had to drill at least a well 100 meters deep. With the current industrial capacity of the Falcon Kingdom, unless they brought the drilling equipment from the west of the desert, there was no way.

Squeezing the sore brows, Cohen said with a headache.

...Where the hell am I going to get your broken coins... Can the silver mine work?

That's not necessary, Chu Guang waved his hand, Although we use silver coins, they are not based on the silver standard. Can you understand?

Cohen stared at Chu Guang fiercely, and said every word.

What on earth do you want? At worst we ourselves—

Chu Guang coughed lightly and interrupted him.

Bicester Town needs fresh water. I plan to rent a water supply section from the embankment nearest to No. 2 Oasis, and then build a water pipeline leading to Bicester Town to solve the domestic and industrial water problems of local residents. ...The time limit is ten years, how about one million silver coins?

After a pause, he added something later.

Of course, we can actually transfer water from No. 3 oasis, but compared to No. 2 oasis right next to it, the cost of 170 kilometers of pipelines is too expensive. After ten years, we will pay you according to the water consumption. How do you feel about money?

This is his plan based on the design of Petra Fortress.

According to the descriptions of several players of the White Bear Knights, the fresh water resources there are purchased from the nearest embankment and paid according to the water consumption.

However, Cohen was new to the market and didn't know the market, so he didn't necessarily know the capacity of a water supply section, so Chu Guang didn't talk to him about the water consumption, and rented it directly by time.

In fact, the maximum production capacity of a water supply section can supply one million cubic meters of fresh water a year, which is equivalent to half of Poyang Lake.

Ten years is enough for him to create an underground lake out of thin air in the desert.

As for the remaining energy of the embankment?

Who knows about that kind of stuff.

The fresh water produced by the river embankment is like the oil buried under the feet of a few big dogs in reality. It is pumped every day and there is no shortage. Anyway, when it can be used, it is over.

In any case, it is also a seawater desalination device powered by nuclear fusion. After all, it can't be used up in just ten years.

As Chu Guang expected, Cohen's focus was not at all on how much fresh water a water supply section could produce.

After staring at Chu Guang for a long time, a most insignificant question suddenly popped out of his mouth.

Do I still have to pay for the repair of the water pipes?

Chu Guang coughed.

That's useless.

It's fine to use the faucet in someone else's house, and let them fix the water pipe for him. He can't do that kind of immoral thing.

Cohen didn't speak for a long time, but he was thinking about it in his heart.

ten years……

As soon as the agreement was signed, the fresh water supply in Bicester Town was in his hands. If the alliance wanted to attack him one day, he only needed to turn the water tap, and the alliance would have to give in.

As for renting a water supply section for one million silver coins, he doesn't really care whether the price is expensive or cheap.

A river embankment has at least eight water supply sections, even if one is leased to the alliance, it will not be a problem, not to mention that it is an asset of the vassal state.

With a reluctant expression on his face, Cohen nodded.

Deal! But I have to declare first that the price of renting the campsite and other expenses must also be written in this contract!

There is currently no stable trade relationship between the two parties. He doesn't want the alliance to add zero to the rent of the camp as soon as he agrees.

Let alone a million silver coins, even 10 million or even 100 million can't stand it.

Chu Guang smiled and nodded.

No problem, but... Before signing the contract, I also have to remind you.

Cohn narrowed his eyes at him.

Why do you remind me?

Weilant people are in our camp and must abide by our laws and regulations, including robbing, stealing, and...

Seeing the ugly face of the big nose, Chu Guang saved him a little face, and said in a very soft voice, And all behaviors that are not allowed in a civilized society are considered crimes on the land of the alliance. If it happens Unpleasant things happened, we will not forgive you because of your nose, we will punish the perpetrators according to the law of the alliance.

So if you don't want to have diplomatic disputes, or even more serious consequences, you'd better spend some time restraining your subordinates.

Cohen stared at Chu Guang with a dark face.

You don't need to say it, I will do it naturally!

Chu Guang nodded and said with a smile.

That would be the best.
