Chapter 485 The Real World 1
The 10-second system security protection period ended, and the cocoon-shaped golden light lingering on Bai Yu gradually dissipated.

"Dong dong dong!" The knocking on the door continued.

"Miss Mo, are you at home?" Seeing no one responded in the room, the other party did not choose to leave, but spoke.

It was an old man's voice, which sounded hoarse and dry, and a little familiar.

Bai Yu took out a mask and a baseball cap from the space and put them on as a habit. Then he tiptoed to the peephole of the door and took a look outside.

In the dim corridor outside the door, stood an old man with slightly white hair and a vigorous look.

The old man was wearing a floral vest, floral pants, and big slippers.

He was holding a black leather envelope bag in his hand and a large gold watch from Lux on his wrist.

The clothing and accessories are clearly two different styles, as if they were pieced together temporarily and put on.

Bai Yu recognized him at a glance. His name was Lao Guan, a native of Y City.

I don’t know what he did before, I just know that he has a wide range of connections and resources.

In addition, he was just past the time he entered the game, so he wanted to use his "remaining heat" and started working as a middleman in the purchase and sale of materials.

After all, if you are a little younger, once you enter the game and successfully pass the level, the gold coin reward you will receive is very generous.

Materials are scarce on Blue Star and prices have skyrocketed, but the money is basically enough for them to survive for the time being.

If you fail to pass the customs, you will die, and you don't have to worry about your livelihood.

What is more embarrassing are the elderly and children who cannot enter the game because of their age.

When the game first arrived, shelters were built in every city on Blue Star.

And there will be dedicated personnel coming to search for empty nesters and children left at home.

Each shelter also houses many elderly people and children without care.

But in the later period, resources and manpower became increasingly limited, and more and more cities fell after being invaded by plants and animals.

Officials are no longer able to arrange for personnel to conduct door-to-door searches, but those in need can go to shelters on their own.

Shelters in various places are also gradually reduced, merged, and gradually transferred to cities that have not yet fallen.

During this process, it has become a secret fact that only children and worthy elderly people are admitted.

Even the fire that happened inexplicably in the shelter where Bai Yu was previously was actually not an exception.

Of course, not all seniors will choose to go to a shelter.

After all, more and more cities have fallen, and transportation is inconvenient. How to get to shelters has become a problem.

Some elderly people, whose sons and daughters have returned from playing the game, can temporarily take care of them during the one-month break from the game.

Buy some supplies and strengthen the windows and doors at home.

There are even particularly powerful ones that can even get a housework robot to help at home.

There are some lonely old people or children who never come back in the game. They know that their time is short, but they choose to live in the present and face the coming of death calmly.

Of course, there are also a few small cities that have not fallen yet. Like Y City, some old people who are capable and in good health and have not entered the game have become the main force to help maintain the basic operation of the city.

Laoguan is one of the main forces.

However, he is not a regular main force.

What he is doing now is a bit similar to speculation in the old days.

He actually has some savings.

But Blue Star prices are soaring, and inflation will only get worse.

No matter how rich he was, he couldn't just sit around and wait to die. Plus he also had some connections and resources, so he started doing this job.

Bai Yu also met Bai Yu by accident when he was buying supplies and stocking up in Y City before entering the game.After all, some supplies cannot be purchased through formal channels.

One of the things she asked Lao Guan to help her find was a Type B RV with its own photovoltaic panels and self-driving capabilities.

Cars with self-driving functions, whether buses, minibuses, or RVs, have been produced in Y City's car factories before.

But most of them are electric cars, and cars with built-in photovoltaic power generation panels were the latest revisions and developed by these car companies after the game came to Blue Star and at the request of the officials.

In addition to their own photovoltaic power generation functions, these vehicles also add some basic defenses.

At least the properties of materials such as steel plates used in making cars are much better than those used in daily household vehicles.

It's not like those cars from the early days, where the thin skin of the car would be dented by a casual collision.

In addition, the average new car takes at least one and a half years from research and development to shipment.

But because it was an official requirement and all scientific research efforts were concentrated to overcome it, it was shipped out of the factory in less than two months.

However, these cars basically did not enter the market, and they were all collected by the authorities as soon as they came off the production line.

When Bai Yu asked him to help him find some generators and charging stations, he happened to mention it.

Bai Yu was naturally very concerned at that time.

After all, it was only a matter of time before Y City fell.

To get to G City, the central city, transportation is indeed a problem.

There are still a few small e-mules left in the space, which can be charged while walking.

But it's a big problem when spending the night in the wilderness.

Now, although the [real space] has been upgraded to allow people to live in it, the accommodation problem has been solved.

However, she still felt that she needed to buy one just in case of emergency.

Because of the scarcity of that car, the market price is not cheap, and there is a price but no market.

The quotation Lao Guan gave her started at three hundred yuan, which did not include eight points of personal commission.

A car like this would have been enough to buy a high-end RV in the past.

But today is different.

There are a lot of gold bricks in the space that Bai Yu can't use up, so he naturally agreed.

At this moment, Laoguan suddenly came to the door at the address he left. There was a high probability that there was news about the generator or the car.

Bai Yu opened the door, smiled and said politely: "Grandpa Guan."

"Ouch, Miss Mo, you scared me by not saying anything for a long time! I thought the big client I had been waiting for finally flew away!"

Lao Guan was not surprised by her "fully armed" appearance wearing a mask and hat. After he finished speaking happily, he sighed:
"Hey, now Blue Star's communications are all cut off. It feels like we're back to the days when communications were basically yelling and walking. It's really inconvenient for us with old arms and legs!"

After he sighed, he stood still.

He didn't take the initiative to enter the house.

After all, Bai Yu was standing at the door and had no intention of inviting him into the house.

However, he still glanced briefly into the room through the gap.

The decoration and decoration inside the house are very ordinary.

But that's right, how can someone who can spend millions to buy supplies live here?

It seems that the little girl in front of me is not lying, and she is just a middleman.

When Bai Yu heard this, he smiled and said:
"Grandpa Guan, I'm not a big customer. I'm just a little shrimp who takes orders. By the way, it's a matter I entrusted to you. Is there any progress?"
