This game is so weird!

At Miley's suggestion, Mary accepted the dormitory management task and asked Miley for her name. After agreeing to have dinner together sometime, Mary walked out of the guild hall in a daze and stood on the edge of the commercial district square, staring blankly at the spaceship.

How did a perfectly good government rescue center turn into an alien rescue of Sera?

Unable to understand, Mary slapped her face with both hands. Oh well, since Miley, who had direct contact with them, thought it was fine, she might as well trust them.

They're all refugees anyway, so even if things get worse, it won't be any worse than being eaten by the orcs.

Thinking of this, Mary glanced again at the spaceship in the middle and the guards in white armor standing around it, then stepped out of the commercial district.

"It seems a homeless person named Mosby also accepted the dormitory management task. Let's go to the dormitory and talk to him!"

-----------------

After lunch, following her routine communication with Colonel Hoffman and contacting Marcus and Bard's team to follow up on the situation, Anya stretched and leaned lazily against a hotel chair.

The command center is putting up a final stand, waiting for all important facilities to be evacuated from Efila before beginning the retreat.

Meanwhile, teams A and D were still wandering around the mine maze, encountering no major problems except for occasional harassment from the orcs. With 20 explorers involved, food supplies and fire support were not an issue; the only frustrating thing was that they couldn't find their way.

After mentally confirming that there was nothing else, Anya stood up, intending to take a stroll on the street and check on the construction progress of the office.

She still quite enjoys seeing the citizens living happy lives, but unfortunately, years of war have completely disrupted daily life. Now, she has a rare opportunity to observe the camp's operations, which can also provide some experience for subsequent post-war reconstruction.

With the headset terminal provided by Li Ang, Anya explored the checkpoint and restaurant kitchen without any hindrance. After confirming that the lives and food safety of the homeless were guaranteed, she arrived at the vertical farm.

Standing in front of the planting platform on the first floor, staring blankly at the rice growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, I was speechless for a long time.

Even the guards behind him stared wide-eyed at the cameras on their helmets in surprise.

"This...this...is this reasonable!?"

Anya opened her mouth dryly, turned her head to look at the COG guards behind her, wanting to make sure she wasn't seeing things.

"Maybe this is alien technology?"

The guard touched the helmet on his head. His head was so itchy, he felt like he was going to grow a brain. He couldn't scratch the itch, it was so uncomfortable.

Anya added the purchase of the planting platform to her notes, and after touring all four levels of the farm, she walked out of the farm with a shocked expression.

No wonder the Exploration Guild isn't worried about food; this vertical farm could probably supply two or three thousand people... In that case, what are the protein bars that COG soldiers eat every day, and the rats and night bats that nomads eat?

No wonder the homeless restaurant's lunch includes one meat dish, two vegetable dishes, and a soup; no wonder the chef there looks so disgusted.

Nobody knows what kind of heavenly life they were living!

With the idea of ​​ensuring that all citizens of the Wei'an government were well-fed secretly planted in her heart, Anya led the guards toward the construction site at the end of the street. Amazed by the efficiency of food production, she felt that nothing could frighten her today.

"What—what is this?!"

In just one morning, the COG office was already taking shape. The dark brown main building, shaped like a castle, was completed. Three or four players were carving reliefs on the corners of the outer walls of the building. A white gun-shaped tool in the hands of an explorer emitted several beams of blue light from its muzzle, covering a square area on the surface of the building. As the light flashed, a huge emblem of the Security Government Alliance appeared above the city gate.

After completing the printing operation, Er Miao nodded in satisfaction, lifted her drooping hair, and looked towards the source of the sound.

"Oh! Miss Anya, you've arrived!"

"Take a look at our construction plan, are you satisfied?"

"Miss Er Miao, once the office is built, I won't be discharged from the military for being extravagant..." Anya's voice was almost crying as she gestured to show the size of the castle, feeling like she was about to faint.

"You guys have to help me prove that it really only cost 30000 contribution points."

"Hahahahahahaha!!" Er Miao laughed happily, but lost her grip and fell off the brick wall at the edge of the city wall.

He then patted his behind and stood up as if nothing had happened, walked over to Anya, and put his hand on her shoulder. "How is it? Pretty, right? I modified it based on a Disney castle. The inner layer uses marble quarried nearby, and the outer shell is wrapped with a 1-centimeter-thick titanium alloy plate. It's shockproof and explosion-proof!"

Pulling Anya to the edge of the castle, Er Miao patted the castle wall, making a deep, metallic "knock knock" sound.

Anya raised her hand and placed it against the wall. The icy cold air spread from her palm to her body, making her shiver involuntarily.

Not long after, Erwang and three other players also climbed down from the city wall.

"Second Sister Meow, all done!"

The two young men chatted happily, while Erwang sat to the side, panting as she drank her juice. After confirming that the style was based on the Disney castle, she was responsible for the style adjustments and refinements. The intense work that morning had exhausted her.

She'd never been this tired working at a design firm; she felt like she'd wasted her public holiday.

Thinking about the newly released home-building event in the game, Erwang always felt that he might be even more tired when he went back to work after the holiday than before.

"You guys are so fast!" Anya, finally regaining her senses and no longer worrying about her future, looked at Er Miao and Er Wang in shock. "You finished such a big building in just one morning? That's incredible!"

"Haha, really? It's normal to be this fast with a building gun." Er Miao grinned. "Besides, if it takes too much time to build a house in a game, it wouldn't be fun."

"Fun?"

"Hmm, look." Er Miao said, taking out a building gun from his backpack, adjusting the blueprint of a vase, and pointing it at both sides of the castle gate.

Guided by the blue light, several pieces of raw materials flew out from the backpack on the side of the waist, spun and mixed in the air, and then turned into two 50-centimeter-wide empty vases in the blue light, which were placed on both sides of the gate.

"This is amazing! If it were used to build trenches and fortresses, it would save so much time and manpower!"

Anya's eyes lit up. After getting Er Miao's permission, she took the construction gun in her hand and carefully examined the buttons on it.

How can such a small gun have such amazing functions?

After the holder was switched, the screen of the construction gun, which failed the permission verification, turned black. The entire gun seemed to lose its vitality, and the small printing arms at the muzzle also stopped rotating.

"Oh no, is it broken?" Anya nervously handed it to Er Miao, preparing to ask Er Miao to check what was wrong.

Er Miao took the construction gun, and instantly the screen of the construction gun lit up with blue light again, spinning as it began to work.

"Is there some kind of access restriction?"

Er Miao was also a little puzzled, as this situation had never occurred when players exchanged items with each other, so he could only deduce that it was a restriction between players and NPCs.

"Okay," Anya nodded in agreement, as long as the construction gun wasn't damaged.

Regarding the permissions issue, she would communicate with the guild later to include gun construction in the technology exchange list. Thinking of this, Anya opened the memo function on her headset and added this note below the vertical farm.

"Miss Anya, please check the construction progress of the COG office first. We'll make any changes now if there are any problems."

"Okay, thank you for your help~"
