  Chapter 249 The false light brother, the real cake brother

Boulder City is very big.

Not only facilities, but also population.

If you want to investigate the local customs here, a week may not be enough.

even more how "New Map Experience Card" is only valid for three days...

the evening of the second day.

Fang Chang, who was sitting next to the window, glanced at the bustling street outside the window, and put away the little notebooks and pens in his hands.

Generally speaking, progress is fairly smooth.

Except that there is no way to enter the inner city, the exploration rate of the outer city has reached 60%, and the things that need to be understood are basically investigated.

Especially those that go deep into the social level.

And this part is what surprised him the most.

"Unlike the small survivors’ settlements such as Bette Street and Brown Farm, Boulder City is not only huge, but also different from the “feudal lord” rule of most small and medium-sized survivors’ settlements. , And it’s more like a collection of interests related to tangled and complicated."

"The City Lord is the highest authority here. He holds the command of the militia, but does not participate in specific things in the city. Do not engage in any asset management, only responsible for responding to waves and other threats, as well as taking money from the treasury of the city hall."

"The residents living here have established a set of bureaucratic systems suitable for themselves and are responsible. Dealing with messy things and taxation is the first major event. However, because they cannot directly obtain the support of violent machines, they have a weak power over the region, and even have to rely on some'great' when solving certain problems. Characters’ help."

"Interestingly, when I was communicating with NPC, I accidentally found an egg left by the production team."

"In the early days of the Wasteland Era , Boulder City is not actually called Boulder City, but “Mansion Town”. Until they completed the expansion from the first building to the outer city with the help of an ancient organization called the “Post-War Reconstruction Committee”, and In response to the wave, a huge concrete wall was built."

"In the next century, they seem to have lost the ability to build huge walls, and they stopped expanding and replaced them with trade. The invisible territory. It is through this method that they accumulated a lot of regional prestige in the southern region of the River Valley Province, and made the'bargaining chip' popular throughout Qingquan City, becoming the hard currency of the locals in mind...and This is also the source of the arrogance of most Boulder residents."

"Even if the wealth looted through chips has nothing to do with them, it does not improve their status quo at all."

"In contact with such forces, it seems that it is a better choice to get in touch with such forces than direct means of war."

"However, it must be noted that this is also what they are best at. Domain, the NPCs here are far better than those cunning in the northern suburbs."

Combining the photos I took, I should be able to write an impeccable strategy.

Considering the professional players who have been clamoring for business and want to cut NPC leeks, Fang Chang also counted the transaction prices of several major commodities at the trading station.

and organize it into a table!   Thinking of the players waiting to be fed on the forum, Fang Chang's face couldn't help but a smile appeared.

Is this how the boss feels? It's great   .

In the past when he opened up other games, he did not write strategies, and the strategies written by several vests were quite popular.

But the sense of accomplishment he gained from those games, even if they all add up, is not as good as the one he is currently playing.

Just when Fang Chang put away his notebooks and was about to go to the next room to take a rest off the assembly line, Liszt's apprentice moved towards here and came over.

"Engineers and equipment are ready, we hired mercenaries, and they are responsible for sending us safely to your outpost."

"Depart early tomorrow morning."

p>

Walking to the table, Qian Lai sat down opposite Xu Shun, laughed and continued.

"This is our last night in Boulder, don't you plan to go roam around? I know a good place to drink. The beer there is good and very cheap."

Xu Shun shook his head and said.

"Thank you, no need."

"I still have a task."

From the moment he went out, Xu Shun kept in mind the manager’s instructions. And I took every sentence in my heart, and this kind of desertion may happen to anyone, but it is impossible to happen to him.

Seeing Xu Shun declined his invitation, Qian Lai said nothing.

He has experienced the stubbornness of these guys.

Last night he proposed to go out and have some fun to celebrate. After all, the things that should be busy are all done, but this guy refused without saying a word.

Not to mention the guy sitting by the window before.

Cannot communicate at all.

Although this is not the first time he has dealt with the blue jackets, this is definitely the strangest one.

……

The next night.

Chu Guang saw the complete volume "Boulder City Market Research Report" published by Fang Chang on the forum.

It deserves to be the No. 1 Understand King in the whole server. Brother Elder Fang's understanding of the version has never let him down.

This time is the same.

Using the strokes of travel notes, Fang Chang described in detail their entire group's experience in Boulder City, as well as the various industries analyzed through various clues.

As I returned to the communication range, a large number of high-definition pictures were also included in the post.

Not only the players are very addicted, but also the cloud players.

Professor Yang, King of Thunder: "Fuck! This is the real game screen?"

Hey, what do you do: "Hehe, bragging and not drafting!"

My Bronn with a lower voice: "It's awesome. When the finished product can have this half quality, I will explode directly!"

Fang Chang: "...Boulder City I will update the transaction price reference form on the forum after you can refer to it, but that is for reference only!"

"The trading system of "Wasteland OL" is indeed very meticulous, with bargaining power and The eloquence directly affects the transaction price. Especially for some commodities with scarce attributes, the impact of bargaining on the final transaction price can reach 50%, or even 100%!"

"Considering the language problem, if you don’t want to If you are pitted by an NPC, you can try to hire some NPCs with high charm value and high trading skill proficiency to bargain for you! This suggestion is for reference only, if you are the kind of foreign language that can be proficient in a completely different cultural background in less than half a year, And the big guy who is proficient in the usage of slang, then when I didn’t say it."

Quit smoking: "The big guy is awesome!!"

The spring water commander: "Shock! New map I made the price list before opening it. This is too strong!"

Fujito: "I want to open a clothing store in Boulder City! Can I hire local people to sell clothes for me? (ω)!"

Fang Chang: "There is a serious oversupply of labor there, which is definitely okay, but ordinary people's consumption power is not good, and it is estimated that the local tyrants can only afford beautiful clothes. It is recommended to try making bulletproof vests. Kind of protective gear, or a durable leather jacket, earn the mercenaries’ money!"

Fujito: "Take notes, take notes! (Fengbijishu.jpg)"

Tomato scrambled eggs: "I, I, I want to open a shop too! I can open a restaurant! Open a bar! (excited)"

The mission must be fulfilled!"

Tail: "The tail is responsible for guarding! The first escort in the wasteland is here! Let the tail kill monsters! ψ(`)ψ"

Sisi: "Oh! I'm responsible for watching the tail."

Makabazi: "Don't pull the calf, take care of the nest! (Funny)"

Don't pull the calf: "Go away !"

Yaya: "Wait, where's the mushrooms?! Can mushrooms be sold for money?"

Fang Chang: "Uh... I only seem to see people taking blue umbrellas Mushrooms? The price is quite high. It is said that they are used to make anti-radiation agents. Other varieties are rare. Maybe some pharmacies will accept them? I'll ask for you later."

Yaya: "What the hell, do you have to have that kind of blue mushroom that grows in the sewer? Σ(°△°|||)︴"

Irena: "To be honest, you Is it persuaded. (Funny)"

Ye Ten: "That day, Boss the Raven recalled the fear of being submerged by leeches. (Funny)"

Spirit King Rich and Noble: "Hahaha! siskin! hahahaha! vegetable! Did I learn like it? (Funny)"

Yaya: "You sharks! (#`Д) ノ”

……

I have to say that all these players are talents.

Chu Guang watched on the forum A lap.

In just a few minutes, the topic has gone from opening a clothing store and forming a caravan, fast forward to the cultural conquest of the wasteland world.

Conquer the wasteland with modern consumerism?    Is this a Renaissance?

emmm……

Anyway, technically, I can’t win.

At least in a short period of time, the gap between the two parties cannot be made up by a few black boxes.

Not to mention that other people may also have that kind of thing.

But consumption is indeed their weakness. Especially in terms of consumer culture.

The aristocrats in the inner city are keen on the products of the Ideal City, and they have been out of the public interest in enjoyment. The residents of the outer city are squeezed by the factory and can’t breathe. Basically satisfied, but there is no extra spending power at all.

The mercenary, a huge group of fish and dragons mixed in together, has been ignored by those caravans focusing on the external market.

>

Although they are also very poor, many people will make a fortune as soon as spring comes and the trade routes are restored.

Look at Xia Boss.

Most mercenaries can’t save money. Those who can save money either become mercenary bosses, evolve into caravan bosses, or engage in other businesses.

Needs are not just guns and food. Not all people will calmly invest all the money they earn in themselves.

In addition to buying ammunition and supplies, and maintaining weapons, the rest of the money Either enter the casino, or spend it on cigarettes, alcohol or women.

Chu Guang feels that he can find them more pursuing ways to spend money.

His little players can design some clothes, shoes, gun belts, protective gear, weapons, etc. that are not only durable and strong, but also contain "mercurials attractive spectacle elements." The bars in Boulder City are popular.

If you can build a brand effect in the mind of the mercenaries, maybe you can really get a wave of leeks.

What is this wave called?   Selling skins!    Who said that only players can buy skins?

Of course, it must be very difficult.

The residents of Boulder City are struggling no matter how hard they are. The basic needs can still be met, and it is certainly not as miserable as the wastelanders outside the wall.

That expert arrogance can be felt just by listening to their broadcast.

"How about...put the things you sold in the past with an ideal city card?"

Chu Guang rolled his eyes, but he had some bad ideas in his heart, but he had to wait for Eastern Caravans on the Sea shore can only implement it when they come.

And he feels that even if he doesn't end up, he can definitely think of it with the cleverness of those players.

"These are details."

"The most urgent task is to make the caravan system first!"

Chu Guang is on the desktop A new folder was created on and a line of heading was added.

[Alpha 1.01 version update: Chamber of Commerce system]

"The B4 layer unlock task has not been triggered yet, and more players cannot be activated temporarily. The B round test will have to wait a while. "

"This time the updated version number is tentatively scheduled for Alpha1.01!"

After that.

Chu Guang cut a picture, coded the version number, and threw it on the forum.

Guang: “I’m doing it, I’m doing it, everyone works hard, and when the expansion of'Sword for Plowing' is over, and the farming system has been tested, we will immediately open up new maps and new game content! Test you I yelled about 10 versions of the running business system!"

Almost as soon as the post was posted, the number of replies soared to double digits. A refreshing effort, it even rushed to triple digits. went.

Quit smoking: "Wait, why is there only a folder?"

Sisi: "What's in it? Let me Kangkang!"

Ye Shi: "False brother Guang, real brother cake. (funny)"

Yaya: "Damn, if our plan can have a warm manager little brother, it would be half kind! T ^T"

Looking at the following reply, Chu Guang's brow fiercely jumped.

These guys!

Does it take time to arrange an NPC that can communicate?

Do I need to archive the two and a half days of the itinerary? Do I need to have one communication base station? Do these things need electricity?

And the most important thing is, let you all run the new map, who will cultivate the land? Don't   talk about sowing.

Anyhow, I have to finish the wasteland reclamation work.

Do you need your manager to do things like wasteland?

Chu Guang felt that what he had hinted was obvious.

"Damn it!"

"I just updated it, why do you want me to do it again!"

Chu Guang foul-mouthed close the forum and finish the table On the cup of homemade sparkling water, I opened the P club game to watch the sea.

……

The next day.

The south side of the outpost sanatorium.

An old-looking man is touching the chin looking at the surrounding buildings, muttering something to himself.

Since he didn't wear a VM on his arm, many players were curious about him, but they didn't pay much attention to him.

As everyone knows, NPCs without VMs cannot receive tasks normally.

"...Since the defeat of the Bone Chewing Tribe on the frontal battlefield, the morale and confidence of the survivors in the northern suburbs have reached a peak, and the prestige of the local leaders has reached unprecedented heights. The power of survivors is emerging, which may change the chaotic pattern of the northern suburbs for a long time."

"There is a large amount of undeveloped land and sufficient labor, although the infrastructure is backward, there is no Supported by supporting industries, but it is precisely because of this that huge business opportunities are hidden in this."

Soon after Elder Fang published his "market research" on Boulder City on the forum, Liszt also completed An investigation into the area under the control of Vault 404 was conducted.

But he didn't use small books.

Instead, I use a flexible screen computer that I carry around.

This kind of bauble is very convenient. It is usually stored like a pen. When you need to use it, you only need to unfold it like a reel. You can also adjust the screen size according to your habits.

This high-end product that integrates a large number of carbon-based optical components and electronic components is not what Boulder City is capable of producing.

However, every year there will be merchants from the Eastern Sea shore, bringing this rare thing from a distant ideal city.

"...Yes, we have to add the title of permanent partner of the enterprise."

This is also what Liszt is most interested in.

Just a few hours ago, he had confirmed through his own channels that Vault 404 had indeed received that extremely rare honor-or "contract".

There are only two plains across the entire river valley province. The northern one has been blocked by the bone chewing tribe. It is almost foreseeable that a large wave of caravans will pass through here this year.

Thinking of this, Liszt couldn't help but look forward to it.

If he can seize this historic opportunity, he might be able to earn unimaginable bargaining chips in previous years, and his assets will grow rapidly like a rocket!   What's the name of that word?

Yes! A   win-win situation!

"How is the research?"

A familiar voice came from behind.

Liszt turned his head and saw Chu Guang approaching him, and said with joy.

"It's done! Surprisingly, the situation is much better than I expected, although there are many problems that need to be solved. For example, you lack stable electricity, but it is commendable that you are actually A steel factory was built in the ruins."

Chu Guang said happily.

"The power supply problem will be resolved before the end of the month. Our engineers are already designing the power grid in the industrial zone and building a centralized thermal power station. Is there anything else?"

"There is also a drainage system," Liszt thought for a while, and continued, "If you plan to let the caravans continue to settle with you next year, you must at least make sure that when they walk on the street, they won't step on badly. Things, such as excrement."

Chu Guang was taken aback.

What the fuck?

"What's this?"

Liszt was lightly coughed.

"No... I'm just giving you an example. After all, your new settlement already has two thousand people, but I found that there are only five toilets that rely on manpower to pick up feces. Indeed, locals can The field solves the problem of convenience, but what about the foreign tourists? What about the traders? As well as their guards, entourages and servants, the total impossible also goes to the fields to solve the problem in such a respectful manner."

Chu Guang touched it. Touch your chin.

"This is a problem, is there any more?"

"That's it for the time being?" Liszt hesitated for a moment and said, "But it's all trivial things, I Just say it casually, don’t take too seriously."

"There is no trivial matter here," Chu Guang shook the head, said seriously, "This problem will be resolved within a month."

Liszt was slightly surprised, then laughed.

"It seems that Beijiao met a wise manager. No wonder people here are full of confidence in the future."

Chu Guang: "Thank you for the compliment."

Liszt "This is not a compliment, it is the reality that I confirm with my eyes. I have many types of customers, including farmers like Brown, rich landlords like your old rival, and slaves in Honghe Town. The boss and mine boss... Few people regard ordinary people’s problems as problems that need to be solved. From my point of view, I certainly hope that your residents will have a better life so that they can have the money to buy my goods. "

After clearing his throat, Liszt continued confidently.

"Perhaps, I should be a little more confident in your future... By the way, you seem to be short of agricultural machinery? I happen to know a Boss, a factory that mainly produces engines and various power components. , He stocks a large number of agricultural machinery and firewood engines in his warehouse. I use his own goods in the southern plantation, and the quality is very reliable."

"If you need, I can help You order a batch! For the sake of our friendship, I can give you a 10% discount."

A 10% discount is fine.

Then the price I saw was actually discounted?

This guy Chu Guang almost forgot if he didn't talk about it.

However, now is not the time to renew the past.

Chu Guang asked immediately.

"Do you have a plantation in the south?"

In order to show his strength to his partners, Liszt did not hide it at all, said with a faint smile.

"Yes, it’s not just plantations. I have long-term contracts with the local survivors’ settlements. The rubber produced belongs to me, and the biomass oil belongs to them. I will take them with them every quarter. Go there for the necessities you need, and buy some things you need in Boulder City. If you are interested, we can also cooperate. You provide the space and are responsible for safety, and I provide manual farming, and we can get 50% of the output. ."

What Chu Guang cares about is not his proposal, but the information he revealed in the proposal.

The development environment in the south of Qingquan City seems to be better than here. Many Boulder businessmen own plantations and other industries there.

And there is a blind spot of one's own vision.

Perhaps I should take advantage of the beginning of spring and take advantage of the opportunity of the recovery of trade routes to send a few people around Qingquan City.

Chu Guang thought for a moment and said.

"This sounds like a very attractive proposal, but we plan to use more efficient centralized planting of cash crops. Let's talk about those agricultural machines."

"No Question."

Liszt was not surprised by Chu Guang's euphemistic refusal.

He wandered around in the northern suburbs and didn't see a slave. At most, there were only prisoners of war. Obviously, the slave system is not popular in this survivor settlement.

In fact, compared to the employment system, the slave system is indeed an inefficient means of production. Even with the same standard of living, free people’s work enthusiasm will obviously surpass that of slave.

Therefore, even in Boulder City that recognizes the legality of slaves, few factories will arrange slaves to work on the assembly line.

Chu Guang gave Liszt a list and purchased 10 "Ironhorse 60" pot camel machines.

Although this thing does not use any special advanced technology, it is a serious heavy equipment, and the price is naturally much more expensive than the small arms and legs of the KV-1 outer skeleton.

According to the data provided by Liszt, the total weight of this set of boiler machine is about 500 kg, and the maximum can provide 60 horsepower.

Compared with the 8~10 horsepower wok camel machine that players imitated and improved, and the 20~30 type common to Legion light trucks, the 500 kg weight can provide a maximum of 60 horsepower wok camel The machine is indeed a black technology.

Refuge No. 404 does not lack light power equipment, but such heavy power equipment is still lacking.

Whether it is used in construction machinery or in wasteland reclamation work, these equipment are sufficient to more than double the original efficiency.

Compared with fuel engines, this kind of machinery has obvious advantages: it is easy to manufacture, simple to maintain, and uses power everywhere, so it is very popular in wasteland.

However, the price is relatively expensive.

A unit price has reached an astonishing 5,000 chips, equivalent to one hundred iron-barreled rifles, or 30 automatic rifles.

According to the quotation of 5,000 chips, if Chu Guang wants to buy these devices, he needs to pay 50,000 chips to Liszt.

Chu Guang naturally does not have that many chips.

It is also impossible to give him so much "foreign exchange reserves".

But it doesn't matter.

It is a strange thing to pay directly, and bartering is the norm on wasteland.

In the warehouse of the outpost, there are hundreds of tons of spirit leaves stored in them, all cut from the greenhouse site.

After a round of bargaining, the deal was finally sold for 10 Guotuo machines for 1000kg Spirit Leaf.

Although Liszt has repeatedly stated that 50 chips per kg of spirit leaf is the price in Boulder City, and it is not possible to sell this price at any time.

He transports these goods back to Boulder City, and it is impossible to earn a bargaining chip.

However, Chu Guang certainly would not believe his nonsense, and replied unceremoniously.

"5000 chips and one Iron Horse 60 pot camel machine, isn't this also the price of Boulder City? And it's the price you quoted me."

"And I don't think 1000kg of spirit leaves can only be sold at a price of 50 pieces per kg in your hand. It is still winter. Spirit leaves are summer crops, and the requirements for the environment and soil are quite demanding. You can get so many goods from other places. Huh?"

"The pharmaceutical factory in Boulder City will beg you to sell this batch of goods to them, just as you believe in my management ability, I also believe that your business acumen must know what to do "

Chu Guang believes that Liszt will not be so stupid as to falsely report an outrageous price to himself in order to trifling 50,000 chips to influence millions of cooperation.

But he also didn't believe that Liszt gave himself the ex-factory price.

Like this guy himself said, this time, the straight line distance on the map has to be more than 40 kilometers, and the actual distance is even more than a hundred.

Both personnel and transportation need to spend money.

He is always impossible to do charity.

"Management ability? You are really wrong if you don't do business!"

Looking at the order in hand, although there is still a profit, Liszt can't help but complain in a low voice. In one sentence, the order was silently put away.

Chu Guang smiled.

hehe.

How do you know I haven't done it?

"I will treat you as if you are complimenting me."

The spirit leaf can be used for a wide range of purposes. Strong, painful blunt mental water, and Dali pills, Mintel, radioactive agents, anti-radioactive agents and various antibiotics are the most popular drugs on the wasteland.

Although not every mercenary has the habit of using enhanced medicine, even if the proportion only accounts for one third, it is still a rather amazing market.

The amount of 1 ton should not be enough to make the price fluctuate drastically.

Considering that the caravan at the outpost has not yet been formed, Chu Guang made a slight concession on the price.

After the caravan is formed, he will make this money on his own.

"This batch of goods will be delivered within a week. After my assistant comes back, I will let him go again immediately! Didn't expect I can actually see one in Beijiao The large order of more than 10,000 chips is really rare...It seems that the caravan has to be expanded this year."

Having said this, Liszt's tone can't help but feel a touch of emotion.

I used to go to the northern suburbs, so I just dig out to earn ten-twenty thousand chips.

Where is it like now?

You can make so much in a single transaction.

And it’s not just a bargaining chip, but also the resources behind it.

Maybe it won’t take long for me to enter the inner city and live a high social life yearn for something even in dreams.

Hearing Liszt's emotion, Chu Guang's heart suddenly moved.

"Do you need a guard?"

Liszt, who was daydreaming, replied without thinking.

"Of course, there is always a shortage of good guards. Even if we occasionally hire mercenaries to make up the number, it is impossible to make up the entire team. The battle strength of those mercenaries is uneven, and their quality It is also very common. Only a few mercenary groups are okay, and most people are better than robber."

A bright smile appeared on Chu Guang's face.

"That's really good."

Liszt was stunned.

"...Sorry, I didn't understand, what do you mean?"

Chu Guang cleared his throat and said seriously.

"I mean, in fact, in addition to providing high-quality products, we also provide logistics and security outsourcing services."

"If your caravan needs escorts, I It happens to be available here!" -   (7K today, continue to write tomorrow’s update)
