This Game Is Too Realistic

Compared with most settlements full of human fireworks in the wasteland, Site 721 is more like a real settlement of survivors.

And the survivors living here are more like real survivors.

It's not that they are poor.

Although the mended winter clothes looked a little old, they were much better than the Borneo survivors whose family couldn't make up two pieces of clothes. Local people do not need to eat soil, even in the most difficult time, there is nutritious ointment to satisfy their hunger. Bread and sausages are also available on less difficult times.

In fact, the researcher sitting on the train and writing his thesis did not lie. The Science and Technology Committee satisfied the local people with all the nutrients necessary for survival and the basic necessities for sustaining life.

For example, concrete houses, fuel for heating and lighting, and schools as beautiful as churches, etc.

The right to education has been basically guaranteed. As long as the local survivors complete the production tasks that are not too harsh according to the requirements of the Science and Technology Committee, they can get enough food and clothing, but they will not live very well.

Most of the suffering suffered by the local people comes from the climate itself, and the climate seems to have nothing to complain about. The Wandering Swamp was not a livable place even before the war.

The only thing they can complain about is the extremely unequal treatment. The resources that a researcher can enjoy even exceed the sum of the resources consumed by 1,000 ordinary survivors.

And this is only the standard of personal living, not counting business expenses. If the expenses of the laboratory are also counted, it is impossible to calculate.

But that doesn't seem to be worth complaining about at all.

After all, the opportunity to change fate is not completely absent, and there are even as many as eight times in a lifetime.

As long as they are 12 years old, they can take the exam to select apprentices, and if they refuse to admit defeat, they can take the exam until they are 20 years old.

As long as you are admitted as an apprentice, you are not under the jurisdiction of the science committee, but can become a member of the academy. This does not only mean personal honor, but the entire settlement will be rewarded—the Science Committee will not only reward the families that cultivate future researchers, but also the entire settlement.

It is precisely because of this that for the people who stay in the bitter cold place, it seems that the only thing they can complain about is that they did not work hard enough when they were young, and they pinned all their hopes on the next generation.

And for those families who have given birth to apprentices, they will become the most hot stars in the entire settlement, and will be more or less taken care of by the management personnel of the settlement.

For example, Jiang Xuezhou's father became the captain of the drilling team because of this, so he didn't have to work underground in person, while his mother was transferred from the workshop to the relatively free accounting office.

not only that.

Their house is also the strongest two-story building on the entire No. 721, located in the center of the entire settlement, living in the same block as the technicians and managers sent by the Science and Technology Committee.

That street not only has 24-hour heating, gas, electricity, direct drinking water supply, but also basic home appliances and furniture.

But even with special care, the work that should be done has to be done.

The family members of Li Xiang and Wu Xiaoxiao who were traveling together also lived on this street, and their relationship seemed unusual.

Although Ye Shi's story is not over yet, it's time to say goodbye.

Li Xiang had unfinished reluctance on his face, so he made an appointment with Ye Shi for the next meeting, and then the group parted ways at the crossroads.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon when Jiang Xuezhou returned home with Ye Shi. At this time, her parents were still at work, and there was only a little girl who was about six or seven years old at home.

The little girl had two small knots tied into her head, she looked weird, she looked a bit like a miniature version of Jiang Xuezhou.

Seeing her sister appearing at the door, the alertness on the little girl's face suddenly turned into surprise, and then she jumped up in surprise.

Sister?! Are you back?

Hey! My sister is back... Yuehan has grown taller! Hug my sister, hehe, so good.

Hugging the younger sister who flew up, Jiang Xuezhou lovingly stroked her head, with an unusually soft smile on her face.

The suitcase following her consciously ran into the house through the hallway, Gulu went straight to her room on wheels, and after a while there was a tinkle in the room.

Ye Shi couldn't help being a little curious, would this thing have the function of automatically packing luggage, such as the one that can be unfolded like the base car in the Red Police, but he was too embarrassed to follow up in the room to have a look.

Even he who has never been in a relationship knows that it is impolite to randomly enter a girl's room.

Even Jiujiu, the older sister who was dependent on his family, would mercilessly beat him out as the master.

While Ye Shi was staring at the door at the end of the corridor, the little girl hanging around Jiang Xuezhou's neck was also staring at this strange man.

Letting go of the hand holding his sister, Jiang Xuezhou stood up and looked at Ye Shi, and introduced them respectively.

This guy's name is Ye Shi, my sister's friend. Well, his name is a bit strange, you can just call him brother... This is my sister Jiang Yuehan, my parents haven't come back yet, you can sit in the living room for a while , I'm going to pack my things.

After speaking, Jiang Xuezhou walked through the living room to the end of the corridor, leaving only two people standing at the entrance.

Ye Shi gave the little girl a friendly smile, then walked around her to the living room, sat on the sofa stiffly, wanted to turn on the TV but found that there was no such thing here, so he could only pick up the cup on the table Pour yourself a glass of water.

However, what he didn't expect was that the little girl was unexpectedly unafraid of strangers. She sat across from him and stared straight into his eyes, and suddenly said something coldly.

Brother, are you my sister's boyfriend?

Ye Shi, who was drinking water, almost choked, coughed twice and hastily explained.

no.

While speaking, he glanced at the door to make sure someone didn't come back suddenly.

Although he didn't know why he was guilty.

what the hell……

The little girl sighed, and she muttered loudly, My sister also said that she will bring her boyfriend back when she comes back next time. My sister is lying again.

...haha. Ye Shi smiled awkwardly.

The little girl was still staring at him, and suddenly said softly.

Then brother When you are not busy, can you take your sister home to see more?

Seeing the loneliness in those eyes, Ye Shi was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

Um.

In fact, he can understand why Jiang Xuezhou seldom goes home. After all, with a D-level living condition, even with a mentor covering him, the survival rate is not very high.

And it was only last year that she was promoted to D rank. Before that, she was only E rank.

That guy may have deliberately distanced himself from them just to keep them from being too sad when they lost themselves. Although he doesn't usually speak very nicely, that guy actually cares about other people's feelings in his heart.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so sad when she was lying on the bed half dead.

At this time, Ye Shi suddenly realized that he seemed to have accidentally discovered another side of her that was rarely revealed.

But soon he shook his head again, pushing the strange thought out of his ears.

I know so many NPCs, what are they doing...

The little girl sitting on the opposite sofa tilted her head and looked at him. She didn't understand what he was doing shaking her head, but she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she picked up the book she hadn't finished and continued to read it.

The wait was so long, after about an hour, footsteps finally came from the corridor next to the living room.

Seeing Jiang Xuezhou come back, Ye Shi heaved a sigh of relief, and complained in the direction of the corridor.

What did you do, why so long?

Standing by the corridor, Jiang Xuezhou put on casual clothes, an apron, and beads of sweat on his forehead.

Looking at this guy who doesn't mind having back pain while sitting and talking, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

What are you doing? I'm afraid you'll be hungry after taking the bus all the way... so I got something to eat.

Let's eat!

Hearing that her sister made food, the eyes of the little girl sitting on the sofa lit up, she immediately dropped the dizzying book in her hand, and ran past Jiang Xuezhou like a bunny, and got into the room. A small room next to the kitchen.

There was a modest dining table where the family ate.

Ye Shi looked at Jiang Xuezhou in surprise, as if looking at some kind of rare animal.

Can you still cook?

Jiang Xuezhou chuckled, gently brushed the hair hanging behind the ears with his index finger, and raised the bridge of his nose proudly.

Are you kidding me, I've been living alone since I was 12 and I've had no problem getting my food cooked.

Ye Shi couldn't help but want to give a thumbs up, but when he heard the phrase cook the food, he suddenly felt a little ominous.

Just as he expected, what was placed on the dining table was just a bowl of baked potato balls and a pot of chicken legs that looked like they were baked in an air fryer.

That drumstick was coated in a waxy red marinade that was sort of like Orleans roast sauce, but with the flavor of chicken.

Ye Shi swallowed involuntarily, but was speechless for a while.

This is not blanched?

In fact, it is not impossible to roast chicken without blanching, but you can't keep the fishy smell...

However, the little girl was not picky at all, she had already grabbed a chicken leg and began to eat it happily.

Very dissatisfied with the expression on Ye Shi's face, Jiang Xuezhou Qiong slightly wrinkled her nose and rested her right hand on her waist.

Any questions?

She is a dignified D-level researcher who cooks in person, this guy is not grateful to Dade!

Her respected mentor has never eaten anything she made!

Ye Shi shook his head quickly, with a smile on his face, and sat down on the chair dignifiedly.

It's nothing...it's fine.

After all, it was hard work done by others.

Besides, resources are scarce in the Wandering Swamp. Even if the ingredients exchanged for G points are very cheap, wasting food is shameful.

Jiang Xuezhou didn't hear the perfunctory in the compliment, the corner of Jiang Xuezhou's mouth was raised in an arc of enthusiasm, and he turned around vigorously.

You and Yuehan eat first, Mom and Dad will be back soon, I'll make some for them too.

Upon hearing these words, Ye Shi, who hadn't warmed up the chair, stood up again as if electrocuted.

Wait a minute, let me do it...

You know how to cook? Jiang Xuezhou stopped and looked back at him suspiciously.

Ye Shi smiled shyly.

I'll be a little... To be honest, I have been away from home for more than three years.

It's not that he wants to show his hand, but mainly because he loves food.

Jiang Xuezhou didn't think much about it, and nodded blankly, but still gave a word of concern.

That's fine...but let's say it first, if you don't, you must ask me.

Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Ye Shi asked bluntly, Is there any cooking wine?

Jiang Xuezhou: What is that?

...What about beer? There are always things like onion, ginger and garlic, right?

Ah, that's true... Do you want a drink?

Whoever told you that I want to drink, you can get it for me, and then just stand by and watch.

Saying that, Ye Shi also picked up the pot of baked potatoes on the table, made a friendly smile at Jiang Yuehan who was looking eagerly at this side, and said in a childlike tone.

Lend me this for a while, and I'll return it to you later.

Roast chicken should not be salvageable, but this pot of potatoes can still be salvageable.

Um!

The little girl nodded obediently, and then watched the two of them walk into the kitchen.

Looking at the lively kitchen, she stopped eating chicken drumsticks, resting her chin on her hands, dangling her calves, her eyes sparkled, and she didn't know what was going on in her head.

Speaking of which, it was the first time she saw such a cheerful sister.

Every time I saw her before, she always had a preoccupied expression. Even with a gentle smile on her face, she couldn't see much happiness.

I wish she could be this happy every day...

...

At the same time, on the other side, Ye Shi became familiar with the cooking tools in the kitchen under Jiang Xuezhou's guidance.

Although there is no wok here, only a pot for stewing soup, but for him who often cooks lazy meals, any pot is actually the same.

In order to save a bowl from washing, he can even use a rice cooker to cook vegetables, not to mention a stew pot.

Ahhh...why did you pour beer on the duck legs! Isn't it weird? Looking at Ye Shi who picked up the beer and poured it into the pot, Jiang Xuezhou rushed forward to stop him, but Couldn't move his hand at all.

She almost forgot that most of the parts on this guy were made by herself.

Throwing the cans aside, Ye Shi looked at Jiang Xuezhou who was about to cry but couldn't help laughing.

What do you know? It's called a beer duck! It's so rare...

Jiang Xuezhou froze for a moment.

Beer... wine duck? What is that... ah, what a mess! Yuehan can't drink!

Pfft...the duck is cooked, is there any alcohol left?

Oh yes, alcohol is volatile... I almost forgot about it. Realizing that he asked a stupid question, Jiang Xuezhou blushed and nodded, but watched him pour the potatoes into a bowl and crush them again. He said in a daze, What is this for?

Ye Shi said casually.

Mashed potatoes, children's favorite thing to eat... Do you have milk butter and black pepper?

This stuff has a long history and tradition in the alliance. Back then, the scrambled egg man spent a lot of time on this dish in order to make the croissants more delicious.

Jiang Xuezhou nodded quickly.

Yes, I bought some when I came...should be in my room now.

Ye Shi said without turning his head while crushing the baked potatoes.

What are you doing in the room, bring it for me quickly! And the soy sauce in my suitcase, just the black bottle.

Okay, okay!

Jiang Xuezhou blushed and nodded again, hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, suddenly remembered that the apron was on her, so she went back to tie it on for him.

Originally, when this guy said that he was going to have dinner, she planned to give some pointers, but she didn't expect that she was the Xiaobai, so she could only run errands to help.

About 40 minutes later, the sky outside the window was completely dark, and it was 7 o'clock. Jiang Xuezhou's parents almost stepped back home.

Hearing the tinkling sound coming from the kitchen, the two old people thought it was Xiao Han who was in the kitchen, so they hurriedly put on their shoes and rushed in, only to see Xiao Han sitting at the dining table, and on the table were two dishes they were looking at. Unfamiliar dishes.

The alluring fragrance penetrated into the tip of the nose.

Jiang's father moved his nose unconsciously, but Jiang's mother subconsciously looked towards the kitchen, and then opened her eyes wide.

With mashed potatoes sticking to the corner of his mouth, Xiao Han giggled and said in a melodious voice.

Dad, Mom, my sister brought the man back!

What nonsense are you talking about!

Angrily, Jiang Xuezhou went up to cover her mouth, and then hurriedly glanced behind her.

At the door of the kitchen, Ye Shi was coming out with a pot of beer duck. Seeing the two old men smiled and said.

Hello uncle and aunt!

Hello……

Father Jiang subconsciously spoke politely, looked him up and down again, and said hesitantly, May I ask who you are?

Ye Shi just wanted to say that he was from the wasteland, but before he could say anything, Jiang Xuezhou took a step ahead.

His name is Ye Shi! He's from the alliance... It's too troublesome to explain. In short, he is similar to a diplomat. Let's talk about it during dinner later!

Oh, the Department of Foreign Affairs, please sit down, young man... Why do you still let the guests cook? We can't do it when we come back.

Jiang's father stared at Jiang Xuezhou and scolded, but the voice was not heavy, and Jiang's mother was the same, looking at her girl dotingly, and reached out to fiddle with her bangs that were wet with sweat.

That's right, why didn't you say something in advance when your child came back? Mom just asked for leave.

Jiang Xuezhou pulled his mother's arm with a smile, and said coquettishly.

Isn't this a surprise for you? By the way, where's the big brother?

Father Jiang said with a smile.

Your elder brother has already married. He was transferred from No. 721 to No. 702 at the end of last year. He is now the supervisor of the workshop. I will call that kid back tomorrow!

The family sat at the dining table and had dinner happily.

Ye Shi was a little reserved at first, but Jiang Xuezhou's family members were very enthusiastic, and he quickly integrated into it.

Of course, part of this is also due to his superb cooking skills.

Sitting at the table, Yue Han kept stuffing potatoes into his mouth, his eyes shone like little stars, and he almost wrote the word delicious on his face.

...I didn't expect your cooking to be delicious. Jiang Xuezhou poked his arm and muttered in a low voice.

Feeling a little overwhelmed by the praise, Ye Shi wished he could stick his nose up to the ceiling.

That's a must. It's a pity that there are no old godmothers and rice here, or I'll give you the best fried rice.

Eating beer duck with bread is a bit weird, but it is much more normal than roasted chicken legs with tomato sauce.

Heh... I didn't see you cook it for me when I was in the alliance. Looking at the smug Ye Shi, Jiang Xuezhou said sourly with a soft snort.

Ye Shi said with a smile on his face.

You didn't ask me either.

You bastard... Jiang Xuezhou gritted her teeth, wanting to bite his arm, but held back when thinking of being at the dining table.

Moreover, this guy's bones are made of titanium alloy, so she was also worried that her teeth would collapse.

In the middle of dinner.

Jiang's father, who was slightly drunk, took Ye Shi to drink a glass, shook his hand and said solemnly.

Xiao Jiang, she...sometimes she is a little impatient, but she is actually a very caring child. We can't help her with this matter. Please take care of her when she is outside.

Hearing this sudden sentence, Jiang Xuezhou almost choked on the food in his mouth, coughed dryly and said in a panic.

What are you talking about dad!

Her father didn't respond, nor did he intend to take back the words, but just stared at Ye Shi who was sitting opposite him, waiting for the young man's answer.

Sister is blushing! Xiao Yuehan giggled, her clever eyes looking around.

Facing the look in the old father's begging eyes, Ye Shi smiled heartily and agreed without hesitation.

Don't worry, I will protect your daughter!

Anyway, he is also a master of T0 in the whole server, and it is more than enough to protect an NPC.

Jiang Xuezhou's face turned red, and he snorted lightly and lost his voice.

A smile appeared on Father Jiang's face, and he nodded in relief.

With your promise, I'm relieved!

...

That night, Ye Shi stayed at Jiang Xuezhou's house and slept in a guest room on the second floor.

Jiang Xuezhou took a week's family leave. This week, he planned to walk around No. 721 to learn about the life of the local people, and to think about the Science and Technology Committee along the way.

Ice Sea City is a special zone, and it is still too difficult to get to know the college and the Science Committee through there.

It is also worth mentioning that since land 721 does not belong to the special zone, there is no special save point for players to save or a hotel to stay and rest, so he can only borrow and stay at the NPC's house for the night.

To put it bluntly, there is no caravan here.

The reason why the dinner was so rich was thanks to the ingredients that Jiang Xuezhou exchanged with G points.

Usually, if Xiao Jiang didn't send some things home, the family probably wouldn't be able to have such a sumptuous dinner.

At least on the way here, he didn't see any shops or anything like that.

Ye Shi couldn't help thinking that it would be great if he could open up the Science and Technology Committee's market.

There are a lot of untapped resources buried in the ground here, whether it's oil and gas or metal deposits or whatever.

The people of the Prosperous Era seem to have considered the possible sinking in the future, so they left a lot of untapped resources on the tundra, on the mountains, and on the seabed.

In other words, this piece of land actually has development value, otherwise the academy would not choose to make their home here.

However, Ye Shi just thought about it and felt the difficulty of this matter.

His intuition told him that trying to pry open the market here might be more difficult than prying open the market of the Xilan Empire...

Taking off his helmet, Ye Wei sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at the widescreen TV in a daze.

The sky outside the window has already brightened, and it is morning in reality. Every time he goes offline, it takes a while to get used to how reality feels.

I can't tell... I really can't tell.

Is this the legendary Internet addiction?

No wonder minors are not allowed to play.

Not long after he took off his helmet, Jiujiu also came out of the room yawning.

This guy has been sleeping for most of the day, and he still looks like he hasn't slept enough, and he doesn't know what he did in the game.

Looking at the elder brother sitting on the sofa, Jiujiu blinked, and stretched out her hand to shake in front of him.

What's the matter, brother? Hey? It's time to return to the soul.

Recalling the dinner he had just had and Jiang Xuezhou's family, Ye Wei shook his drowsy head, put the helmet aside, and suddenly said with emotion.

It's nothing, I just think... this game is a bit too realistic.

Jiujiu froze for a moment, then looked at him in surprise, her mouth opened into an O shape.

Good guy! Are you really with that NPC?

Ye Wei frowned.

What the hell? Is there any connection?

The two index fingers touched together and poked, Jiujiu blushed and whispered in embarrassment.

I heard you say it's realistic, but also, I thought you... Forget it, forget it, forget it if you don't have it! Cut, it's boring.

...?

Seeing Jiujiu running away without a trace, Ye Wei scratched his head in bewilderment.

What is this guy on about?

Throwing the helmet aside, he ordered a takeaway, and then checked the official website.

Just happened to stumble upon Sisi's post, and he clicked in to take a look, only to see that their cargo ship had already docked at Xifan Port.

In addition to updating the information about Xifan Port, Sisi also updated the local price information in the post.

According to what she mentioned in the post, the demand for local spirits is extremely strong. If the potatoes from Potato Chips Port can be transported to Gold Gallon Port to be processed into spirits, then sold to Xifan Port, and then bought into steel or cement to ship Going to the Federation, even if you close your eyes, you can make a lot of money.

In particular, the tax-free privileges enjoyed by the Weilante people in the local area made many Weilante businessmen simply take advantage of this rule to load the spirits arriving at the port on their own cargo ships and bring them back to the legion.

In this way, the spirits sold to the Xilan Empire on the surface turned out to be dumped on the legion.

At the end of the post, she also posted the benefits of the trip.

What made Ye Shi envious was not their income, but the speed of these guys was so fast that they even pried open the vault of the Willant people.

Although it is only a crack that has been pried open so far, and it is uncertain when it will be blocked by the other party, but it is still a big progress.

You are so capable, we should work hard... Ye Shi said to himself with envy, and closed the post, leaning on the sofa and thinking hard.

First of all, the treasures of the academy must be much more than that of the legion, and they are all the knowledge that the alliance needs most.

But here comes the problem.

The number of players active in the Wandering Swamp is less than three digits, far less than the number in the south.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel troubled on his face.

Not to mention how to pry open the heads of those old stubborn people, I am afraid it will be difficult enough just to fool the little leeks into the wandering swamp...

How should this hoe be wielded?
