This Game Is Too Realistic

Goodbye, brothers, don't miss me...You pangolin masters will have to solo for a while.

The Heart of Steel drew up its anchor chain and drifted away towards the east under the midday sun.

Thousands of thoughts were taken away by the giant whale floating in the clouds, and the Zhandi waved his hands to say goodbye to the triumphant brothers.

In a little while he will be triumphant.

It's just that it's not Shuguang City, but Triumph City.

Although I don't know what method Saren, the head of the Eastern Legion, used, but in short, they returned to Triumph City as victors.

To be honest, until now the field guys are confused.

The Legion fought an inexplicable war, and then returned home inexplicably, except for scaring the enterprise and the academy, where did this group of big noses win?

Take it as a win.

He didn't care about such insignificant little things, it was another thing that made him extremely melancholy.

At the beginning, it was just a thought, even a joking idea, but I didn't expect that I would travel across the entire desert for it, and even go to the far west...

triumphal city.

Forget it, just take it as an early experience of the new version.

Beta, beta...

Isn't that what beta testers do?

what are you saying?

A pleasant voice came from behind.

Guessing who that person is, the Zhandi guy skillfully switched the language of the human connection, and said with a serious face.

That is the spell of my native land, and bad luck will entangle their oars.

Penny froze for a moment, then chuckled.

...you are so funny.

Looking at the silent pangolin, Penny thought he was still brooding over the matter of Vault 0, so she comforted her in a soft voice.

Governor Cohen didn't blame you for the Wall-E matter...it's not your fault, you faithfully fulfilled your mission and brought back the original copy of the Torch Project, so that we will not be corrupted by the greedy and cunning East Coast people and the dark The treacherous swamp people are kept in the dark.

The warlord said in a low voice with a suppressed smile.

It's my duty.

Penny looked at him brightly.

Can you do me a little favor?

It's an honor to serve you.

Looking at the sometimes dull, sometimes gentlemanly pangolin, Penny couldn't help curling the corners of her mouth, but soon her expression took on a rare coyness.

My...uh, father wants to see you.

Your father? Looking at Penny who looked away, the warfield guy was stunned, Why did he see me?

You may not know... Penny flicked her bangs lightly, and said in a normal-sounding tone, The Triumph newspaper has reported on your deeds, and I happened to write many of the materials that were sent to the capital. , anyway, can you help me?

I always feel that the ordinary tone is not natural, but the warfield guy didn't say anything, but nodded.

In fact, he was not very good at rejecting people, whether in reality or in the game.

Just treat it as a triggered side mission.

Seeing the wooden man nodding, Penny had a happy smile on her face, and turned her eyes to the thin clouds in the sky.

By the way... are we going to stay here all winter?

Well, the Zhandi guy nodded, There is no airship, and it is too dangerous to go by land... If you don't follow the big army, accidents are easy to happen.

The northern industrial area used to be the logistics center in the Renlian era. Although it had the densest transportation network, it was already a prosperous era.

Now those high-speed networks and underground passages are completely cut off, forming a three-dimensional maze with the intricate office buildings and warehouses.

The desertification there is not as serious as the eastern industrial area, but the danger is no less dangerous. If you want to get around there, you have to walk through the Wandering Swamp, which is the moat of the college, and it's not a beautiful place either.

Just looking at the description on the official website of Wasteland OL, the Battlefield guy is not confident that he can single-handedly fight the Great Desert or the Wandering Swamp. Maybe it will be better when he reaches level 50 or 60.

By the way, he has just passed level 30, the fourth stage of the gene sequence, which is commonly used in the wasteland to complete the third awakening.

This game is only a little better for the first 10 levels, and he can't help but wonder if Ah Guang is deliberately suppressing the level of these beta testers.

At this rate, almost no one can reach the legendary level 100.

Penny sighed slightly.

I really want to go home quickly...

That was a casual remark, but it caused nostalgia in the heart of someone next to him.

I heard that Old Hook bought the warehouse behind the road town hotel, dismantled it and rebuilt it into a building, with a big yard in the middle. The trading post was originally at the edge of Dawn City, but due to more and more houses being built, it has now been enclosed in the sub-center.

The biggest change is the railway station. There used to be an open space in front of the platform, but now there are rows of concrete buildings scattered around it.

The square where they held the triumphant ceremony before has now been planted with a lot of green plants, and it has become a great place for the residents of Dawn City to walk, socialize, and relax. The newly established municipal garden management department of Shuguang City Hall is responsible for the planning of public buildings and keeps everything in order... I heard that this is inseparable from the credit of a professional player of urban planning.

If the prestige of a specific NPC settlement reaches more than 1,000, you can invest in setting up a factory, if you have more than 10,000, you can participate in municipal grassroots work, and if you have more than 100,000, you can even serve as the head of the city hall in charge of municipal affairs. The warlords have only recently heard that there are really players who are tirelessly earning their reputation in the region, just to become addicted to the mayor in the game.

Isn't it good to start a game of City Skylines directly?

Since the beginning of the year, Yaya has been updating the aerial photos of Dawn City on the official website from time to time, and the battle field guy has also seen that post.

However, he always felt unsatisfied with what he saw in the photos, as if something was missing.

Only now did he realize that what was missing was people.

Those NPCs with their own behavioral logic are like living people. Together with many players from another world, they constitute the entire society and give real meaning to the latter's behavior.

He knew exactly what he was really missing.

hateful……

I really want to go home too!

...

On the way back from the Iron Heart, the official website of Wasteland OL updated new content.

Although there is still no news about Beta 0.5 and new qualifications for beta testing, but the content is a little bit less than that of Beta 0.4.

[Newly added survivor settlement - Pioneering City: Pioneering City, which stands on the ruins of the Eastern Industrial Zone of the People's Union, is not livable, but it has a richer pre-war cultural heritage than Dawn City. There have been brave adventurers, and the brave will follow in their footsteps. 】

[New NPC Corps - Bicester First, Second, Third, and Fourth Construction Corps: The prisoners of the Falcon Kingdom refused to go back and continue to be the cattle and horses of the nobles. They would rather face the yellow sand with the scorching sun on their heads. Even though building a city in the desert is not an easy task, at least those sweats are for themselves, and they will prove that even without those cocky old men, they can still live well! 】

[New NPC Corps - Thorn Corps: Among them are tailors, herdsmen, carpenters, teachers and even scholars. The torment of chaos destroyed their past lives, but they did not knock them down. In order to spread the light of order and save those who have not been saved, they resolutely chose to stay and declare war on all chaos and barbarism. Revenge on the Enlightenment Society that robbed them of their past...]

[New map - Eastern Industrial Zone: The processing industry center in the era of the People's Federation. Even if it has been completely turned into ruins, unexpected treasures can still be found under the dilapidated concrete and iron-containing sand. If you find the dormant blue coat, Please bring them to the pioneer city before the initiation meeting. Recommended map level: Lv15 or above. (Note: Since it is far away from the resurrection point, players who go to this map to explore should be careful to die.)]

Tail: Oh! Sister Thorn! Cunning spellcaster! Si! Let's sign up! (ω)

Big Eyes in Debt: Sister Thorn is okay, isn't the Eleventh Star Corps more suitable! Poor review!

Sisi: Ah Wei, wake up, we have finally arrived at the Southern Islands, and it will take thousands of kilometers to turn back.

Tail: Damn, the ship is going too slow... If only I could get an airship. (`ω)

Roushan Damomo: I'm afraid it will cost tens of billions of silver coins.

Ye Shi: Be more confident and get rid of fear. (Funny)

Aww sesame paste: Ahahaha...too many.

Paddle on the edge: Is it okay to hand over the defense to the local survivors?

Fang Chang: From the Falcon Kingdom to the Honey Badger Kingdom, there are too many places that need to garrison troops. The alliance's standing corps is no longer enough, but there are still a lot of exoskeletons, bulletproof armor and guns left. The local survivors are willing to protect themselves , I think it is still worthy of encouragement.”

The mole on the run in the canyon: +1, from an economic point of view, it is better to recruit troops from the local area than to send troops from the alliance to station there. Anyway, it is unlikely that there will be large-scale military conflicts there recently. As for small-scale conflicts... Isn't someone staying there?

Irena: You can fool newcomers to help. (funny)

Commander Quanshui: But having said that... the processing center in the Renlian era, even in terms of probability, there are several times more good things there than in Qingquan City.

I am the darkest: Damn! I regret what you said, I should stay with that grandson of Gou Zhandi!

Big eyes in debt: Hahahaha!

Compared with the newly established NPC corps, most players are obviously more interested in the ruins of the Eastern Industrial Zone of the People's Union.

No one knows what lies beneath the concrete ruins.

If you dig out a set of power armor that can still be used, it will become T0 in seconds!

The only problem is distance.

The Great Desert is really too far away from Dawn City.

If you start from Dawn City and don't rent a corporate transport plane, you need to take a train to the Lion Kingdom through Fallen Leaf City, then change to a truck and head northwest to the Honey Badger Kingdom, and then go to Bicester Town, bypassing the entire 2 The southern part of the No. Oasis before entering the Great Desert.

It will take at least half a month to go here.

It may be faster after the alliance's railway is laid in the honey badger kingdom, or it can only wait for the alliance to come up with longer and faster means of transportation.

While the players on the forum were chatting about information about the new map, Chu Guang was standing in front of the French window of the airship bridge, looking towards the horizon.

Sitting on Chu Guang's shoulders, Xiao Qi swayed her legs, pointing at the distant mountains and forests and yelling excitedly.

Master, the River Valley Province is ahead!

Finally going home!

The communication status in the desert was intermittent. She was disconnected most of the day, and she would not have this trouble when she returned to the River Valley Province.

Looking at the horizon and squinting his eyes, Chu Guang couldn't help but smile on his face.

Um.

It's been a long time since I went back, and he also missed the people there. I believe the residents of Dawn City must also miss him very much.

Due to abandoning part of the armor and leaving some supplies in Pioneer City, the return speed of the Iron Heart is much faster than the departure speed, and the average cruising speed of long-distance travel can even reach 80 kilometers per hour!

Although this speed can't keep up with the plane, it can fly nearly 2,000 kilometers a day, and it doesn't even take two days to go from the desert to the valley province.

It has to be said that the airship is indeed a good long-distance transportation tool in the wasteland full of alien species, even if the rare anti-gravity device is not considered.

The only downside is that hydrogen is too dangerous, and helium is not easy to handle.

Ahead is our Fallen Leaf City. Standing beside Chu Guang, the acting captain stared at the settlement next to Ruigu City with great vigor.

Rows of houses surrounded the two sides of the train station, and the warehouses next to the station were full of crops shipped from Luoxia Province and industrial products that were about to be sent to the desert.

Originally, the alliance built this settlement only to accommodate the wastelanders gathered by the legion. After the alliance's expeditionary force officially went to Luoxia Province, it served as a transfer station for frontline supplies, attracting a large number of people from the Hump Kingdom and Merchants in Boulder City and other places, as well as refugees fleeing the disaster of war.

Now that the war is over, the prosperity here has not ended because of this. On the contrary, it has risen to a higher level due to the increase in business exchanges.

In the future, this survivor settlement will continue to exist as a trade hub connecting Luoxia Province and River Valley Province.

Chu Guang still has great expectations for the future of this settlement.

Compared with Dawn City and Dawn City, Fallen Leaf City has a wider plain to use, and without the huge ruins of Qingquan City, it will be easier to go to Jinchuan Province from Fallen Leaf City.

It would be great if the Jinchuan Province in the south could also be included in the alliance's trade territory.

Even with the granary of Luoxia Province, the alliance no longer needs the food there, and the development value of that land is very high.

Moreover, according to the information collected by the Polar Bear Knights and the relevant clues disclosed by the company, the development of the ocean in the era of the People's Federation is not inferior to that of the land. From the sea level to the bottom of the sea, there are many relics of the prosperous era, and even shelters!

If they want to use those resources on a large scale, they must first have a sea outlet that belongs to the Alliance. Starting from Fallen Leaf City, opening up a southward corridor will be a good choice, at least from the map.

...I didn't expect such a big change in a few months. Looking at the night scene of Fallen Leaf City, Chu Guang couldn't help feeling a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

I wonder what it would be like to overlook the night view of Shuguang City from a high altitude.

It seems that it has been some time since the last celebration.

Having been observing the expression on Chu Guang's face, the acting captain standing beside said respectfully.

...My lord, do you want to stop here?

No, keep going. Rather than admiring this beautiful night scene, I hope to bring back the news of the triumph as soon as possible.

After a pause, Chu Guang said with a smile.

By the way, hang up our flag! Let everyone see it! Don't make those compatriots who are looking forward to our return home wait, and let those who curse us see by the way.

Not only are we back, but we're back full of victories and glory!

Looking at the manager with piercing eyes, the acting captain straightened up excitedly, and gave a military salute with his right fist on his chest.

yes!

...

At the same time when the Heart of Steel hoisted the alliance flag and returned to the voyage with great fanfare, Boulder City was in full swing.

It wasn't just the alliance that made war fortunes, the major commercial firms and factory owners who invested in the alliance early also made a fortune.

There was an endless stream of guests at the door of the Queen of the Night's bar, and the temperature of the entire street rose several degrees. Whether it's an aristocrat in the inner city or a factory owner, if you make a lot of money, you naturally have to find a place to spend it. Otherwise, what is the purpose of making money?

It's not just bars and commercial streets that are lively, but also the city hall that is several streets away.

Because of the wise decision a few months ago, Mr. Malvern, the president of the Boulder City Bank, stole the limelight.

If he and Du Long hadn't passed the resolution to lend money to the alliance against all opinions, there would be no prosperity in Boulder City today!

Now that everyone is earning a lot of money, he should be the first to contribute!

Just returning home after a meeting, Melvin wanted to drink some wine to relax, but was pestered by his cute little daughter, who said she wanted to tell him a bedtime story.

Melbourne was very happy at first, but his expression was not very good when he saw the Daily Survivor on the table.

He could guess with her hair that this little girl probably learned some accents from those wastelanders, and wanted to tell him some great truths that she herself didn't quite understand.

Although she was impatient, she was her favorite little daughter after all, and Malvin couldn't get angry. It just so happened that he was in a good mood, so he sat on the sofa patiently.

Alisa cleared her throat, picked up the picture book in her hand, and read in a childish voice.

...In the long history of the People's Federation, there used to be a very small kingdom. The area there was even smaller than the Honey Badger Kingdom.

In order to open up the future of the kingdom, the merchants set sail with the support of the king. However, after those merchants earned huge wealth, they bought the people of the kingdom, pushed the old king to the gallows, and became the king of the kingdom. The Uncrowned King.

Although there is no king, the lives of the people in the kingdom have not changed for the better. They used to work in the fields for the feudal lord, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, but now they are driven into coal mines and factories, regardless of age Work all day long.

Until later, the unbearable citizens united to overthrow the kingdom jointly ruled by merchants and nobles, and hang those who cheated them of their property on the street lamp... just like those merchants pushed the king to the gallows back then.

After listening to the story told by his daughter, Malvin pinched the center of his brows and said with a sigh.

You want to say we're in a dangerous situation right now.

Alisa stared at her father intently, her immature face was full of intelligence and alertness that did not match her age.

I heard from the servant at home that a piece of bread outside has been sold for 2 chips, and even the price of nutrition cream has tripled... This is very strange. You said that our factories have increased and the number of jobs has increased. , everything is getting better, but the life of the people of Boulder City is not getting better because of it, which is very abnormal, isn’t it? I don’t think it’s a good sign.”

not a good sign...

What else should I do?

Listening to that immature voice, Malvin smiled and shook his head.

And what better omen than everyone's pockets are full of chips?

My child, we are fundamentally different from the kingdom in the picture book of fairy tales in your hand. Have you forgotten the origin of the outer city? Originally, there was only one building here, an inner city... If we hadn't taken in the kingdom we live in now Those wastelanders in the outer city, they have already been exposed to the wilderness, and have become the residue in the mouths of nibblers and hyenas! They have become predators and mutants... It is not a good thing anyway.

As he spoke, he unconsciously brought the high spirits at the conference table back home.

Alisa frowned, very dissatisfied with her father's tone, and corrected solemnly.

...This is not a picture book of fairy tales, but our history.

Of course, my child... this is indeed something that may have happened on this planet.

Immediately realizing that there was something wrong with his tone, Malvin made his words sound softer.

Looking at his lovely little daughter, he continued patiently.

...But the difference is that Boulder has never been ruled by merchants. Do you really think it's the banks that keep them from buying bread? On the contrary, your father may not be a good man, but if it's not I lent money to those factories, and those poor people can’t even have a chip in their pockets, so what’s the use of cheap bread?”

There was a trace of bewilderment in Alisa's eyes.

Although she learned a little from newspapers and books, it was only a little from what others said... and what his father said was beyond her knowledge.

Melvin touched his daughter's head and said lovingly.

Think about the problem and don't apply it mechanically. Our situation is different from your picture book from the beginning of the story. Whether it is Weijia Trading Company or our Boulder City Bank, our shareholders are the nobles of the inner city from the very beginning. They lent Our first chip.

I should have told you that your mother's family... Her ancestors were the first survivors of the Giant Stone Mansion. I hope you can learn more noble etiquette and ways of life from her. If it doesn't work, I can only send you to The ideal city is studying.

He adores his bright little daughter, but sometimes he thinks it would be nice if she wasn't so smart...or just a little bit dumber.

Being smart is not a bad thing.

But if childishness is added, it is easy to cause big problems.

She is not too young, and it will be time to start a family in two years. Maybe I should be a little stricter, at least I should not continue to treat her like a child.

Alisa blinked.

Is brother there?

Malvin nodded.

That's right.

This is a way out.

Of course he knew that there were hidden concerns in the current situation in Boulder City, but this was not a problem he could solve.

The city lord will not support him, the head of the militia will not, the chairman of Jushi Military Industry will not, and the nobles in the inner city will not.

Animals know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, let alone a banker with a keen sense of smell like him, since the problem cannot be solved, he should make more money before the problem arises.

Especially recently he discovered a good channel, that is the rising alliance in the northern suburbs.

Although those wastelanders and blue coats always did things that he couldn't understand, the final result was surprisingly good.

Not only did they sustain the attack of the Legion, they even gained the friendship of the ancient survivor forces.

He heard from his youngest son who was far away in the ideal city that the merchants of the alliance even sold fried chicken wings and Coke to the ideal city!

This is incredible!

God knows how those guys figured out the shipping problem!

But this is not the key point. The key point is that silver coins can be converted into Cr in large quantities, which is something that even chips cannot do.

Usually, if you want to change to Cr, you have to exchange it like buying trading goods at the exchange in Boulder City, and the trading volume is pitifully low.

Don't look at how many CRs can be exchanged for one chip now, that's because the caravans from Yunjian Province rarely come, and most people don't need CRs.

If the exchange volume really increased, even 10 million chips might not be exchanged for 1 million Cr at the exchange in Boulder City.

Thinking of this, Malvin unconsciously looked at the Daily Survivor on the coffee table, and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Speaking of which, the manager is back.

Alisa nodded vigorously, looking at her father expectantly.

Hmm! I heard that there will be a big triumphant celebration...can we go over there and have a look?

Touching his daughter's head, Malvin said with a gentle smile.

Of course...but you have to listen to your father. After all, there is wasteland outside the wall, and it is not as safe as at home.

That's great!

Rare excitement floated on that peaceful face, and Alisa looked at her father with a kind smile in surprise, and took the oath seriously.

I promise you, I will be good!

Looking at his daughter with anticipation on his face, Malvin smiled gently, but he was thinking about other things in his heart.

Before Boulder City borrowed a lot of money from the Alliance to fight the war, it was time to pay the interest. I believe that person should bring back a lot of good things.

However, what made him miss was not the treasury of the king of the Falcon Kingdom and the golden but useless gold, but other things.

perhaps……

The cooperation between them can go a little further.
