  Chapter 253 Talent Market   After that, the entire group went to the weapon shop and finally saw them The outer skeleton of the heart.

However...

Ye Shi: "KV-1 sells for 600 chips?! I rely on it, so expensive!"

Gale: "How much is the old set before Old Bai? Is the money coming?"

Old Bai thought about replied.

"Five hundred Silver Coin, the steel plate should account for half of the price. If only KV-1 is considered, it is about two or three hundred?"

Although it is the price of a few versions ago, and It was acquired by auction.

Thinking of the starting price of the two hundred Silver Coins, everyone was emotional.

The manager is still kind.

Compared to Xia Boss in the weapon shop, he is so kind!

……

Such an expensive thing, you can’t afford to buy it, you can only look at it.

Of course, everyone did not forget the purpose of their trip.

After some negotiations, the manager entrusted them with the LD-47 sickle assault rifle, which was finally sold at a price of 70 chips.

This is the price after their hard work.

The gun shop boss of the new map, Bixia Boss has too much temper, and he is not interested in their weapons at all.

And it's not just one family.

Although the bullets in Boulder City are 7mm, the length is completely different, and the structure of the flasher is also different, even if the caliber is the same, it is not universal.

The price of the drone assault rifle in Boulder is 150, and the ex-factory price may be less than three digits, only 90 at most.

It’s a wrong choice to come here to sell weapons. Boulder City’s military industry is far superior in terms of cost and technology than they have only developed for one winter.

Unless they find another way and work elsewhere.

Looking at the store shelves, Ye Shi murmured.

"Damn, do you even sell mortars?"

And the price is not expensive.

For the style that is a little longer than the rifle, 60 caliber, within three kilometers of range, you only need the price of a set of KV-1?   Old Bai glanced around the shelves.

"There are no cannonballs here."

Fang Chang: "There are cannonballs, but they should be picked up outside the city. I remember how many grams or more explosives are prohibited... Let's go , None of them are affordable."

Old Bai sighed.

"Too difficult, too difficult."

I wonder if bricks can be sold here?   Their Niu Ma Brick Factory is just this special product.

Night ten laughed.

"Why don't we go to the factory to screw the screws?"

Old Bai is the force system!

The screw must be fierce!

Fang Chang rolled the eyes, too lazy to care about him.

"With a daily salary of 2~3 chips, one month is not enough for you to buy a gun. I advise you to save it."

A sickle can sell for 70 chips. Yes, anyway, the cost of raw materials is less than 15 Silver Coin. No matter how high other costs are, they should not exceed this number.

Anyway, even if a little, it's still better than nothing.

Although the money has nothing to do with them, the chips sold are mission items, but the final reward will be settled with Silver Coin and contribution points based on how many chips they have sold.

Can you hack yourself?   Of course.

As everyone knows, the way to make a fortune is written in the criminal law, and there are always people cleverly thinking that others are fools.

However, they are not.

The big bird vodka with tomato scrambled eggs was sold to the alcoholic at the entrance of the tavern, and the deal was sold for 10 chips.

All four of them felt that they had lost. After all, the bottle of wine was a pound.

To make so many wines, it would cost three catties of potatoes, or at least three silver coins. When it is more expensive, you can get to five.

The equivalent to is not making money anymore!    Ye Shi, who was holding the chips, wanted to go into the bar and take a look. There seemed to be someone wearing very little clothes, but Fang Chang was caught by Fang Chang before his front foot crossed the door.

Gale said from the side.

"Don't miss the business."

Ye Shi: "Gan! Are you not curious? Let me see!"

The new map opens up wasteland The first thing is that shouldn’t you come to such a place to investigate?

How dare you say that you understand the customs here!   as everyone knows, whether it is online games or stand-alone, pubs can be the intelligence distribution center in RPG games.

This is common sense!

Fang Chang coughed dryly: "I've been here some time ago...the kind of tavern where people dance, the minimum ticket is 2 chips, equivalent to get in, you have to buy a glass of wine."

Ye Shi: "Damn! You guy with strong features has been there before! Why don't you write in the guide?"

Fang Chang's eyes drifted to the side.

"I always impossible to write anything."

Old Bai patted Ye Shi's shoulder, comfortingly said.

"Let's talk about it when you make money, these few chips in your pocket, I'm afraid it won't be enough for you to drink two glasses."

That's true.

The night was settled down.

The mushrooms of Crow Boss were finally collected by the grocery store.

Except for a few blue mushrooms that she stole from the leech den, the other mushrooms that looked delicious at first glance did not sell much.

Looking at the bag of chips in his hand, the four little players looked worried.

"Not enough."

With 70 chips deducted from the mission item, I earned 540 chips today, most of which were contributed by the Boss.

What they can freely control is 270 points.

But then again, those blue umbrella mushrooms are really valuable, and they are sold by the gram! And 4 grams can be exchanged for one bargaining chip!

It’s just a pity that this stuff is too rare.

Before the winter came, Boss had already burnt it out, but there seemed to be some left in the NPC warehouse.

Now the leech nests are also used as bait for fishing guys. The few blue pili on the wall will not be able to restore the former luxuriant appearance in a short time.

……

That night.

The four of them slept on the floor on the second floor of the office. After they went offline, they all went to the forum.

In the sight of countless players and cloud players looking forward to, Fang Chang has updated all his knowledge of today in his post.

Artworks including Teng Teng are on consignment.

Mushrooms including Aven Boss have sold huge sums of money.

How much everyone’s things were sold, they also wrote clearly, perfectly clear.

Hacking other people's equipment and game currency is a disgusting thing, but players with a little quality disdain to do it, and everyone believes in them.

Only Professor Yang, the King of Thunder, speculated for a long time there, saying that Impossible only sells so much. I'm afraid there is something wrong with it, but he was ignored at all.

The attention of all players was attracted by the rich freedom and exploreable content of the new map.

What is a virtual world!   Is this okay? The   Northern Suburbs is completely a wilderness survival!

Fang Chang could feel it even across the screen, and many people's eyes gleamed with envy.

Tail: "Can I open a mercenary guild! (ω)!"

Fang Chang: "Uh, this is an unimagined road. You can try it. "

WC really has mosquitoes: "Wait! Where's my grenade? No one bought it!? (Д#)"

Ye Shi: "Your charge is too high. Whose grenade set half a catty of explosives was detained at the door!"

WC really has mosquitoes: "Gan! Lao Tzu’s cracked claw crab mine!"

Old Bai: "...I think that anti-tank may be enough."

The canyon is on the run. Mole: "Where is the outer skeleton? Have you seen the outer skeleton? Damn, Honghe Town is too poor here. That's it!"

Fang Chang: "It's written in the post, please read it carefully."

There is an outer skeleton in Boulder City.

And not only the basic KV-1, but also the 2, 3 series, and even the improved a-type b-type, the price ranges from one thousand to tens of thousands of chips.

This thing is like a car in the real world, with different styles and different options, and the price is the difference between Heaven and Earth.

The cheapest basic model is equivalent to selling a power supply and a small motor. The expensive high-end version is not only equipped with armor linings, but also equipped with a helmet with night vision thermal imaging. Even if the same solid hydrogen technology is used, batteries made of different materials and technologies have safety and endurance as different as heaven and earth.

However, the expensive ones are not on the shelves and usually require special customization.

After all, most people can't afford so much money. In the case of overwhelming majority, the choice of mercenaries is still the KV-1 which is slightly more expensive than the rifle.

What Chu Guang didn't expect was that the KV-1 outer skeleton is so cheap on the shelves of Boulder City, as long as 600 points of chips? The   actual production cost might be only half of this figure.

Looking at the posts made by the young players on the forum, Chu Guang couldn’t help but recall the distant past when someone used only 200 chips to take away two kg of blue mushrooms from his hand. , Changed hands and sold himself a KV-1 outer skeleton with a set of 800 chips.

That's the hard-earned money earned by Yaya!

Excuse me!

But thinking of the equipment that Liszt had spent hundreds of thousands of chips on from Boulder City, Chu Guang didn't bother to care about these hundreds of dollars.

If you don’t sell it to him, you can only sell it to the old leech.

In most cases, what he can do is not to choose the best of two seemingly good choices, but to choose the not so bad among the two very bad choices.

Anyway, he has fulfilled his promise and slaughtered this guy once.

No, saying that slaughter is too vulgar.

It should be said that a win-win situation!    ……

While Elder Fang was busy replying to posts, Shuyu was finally busy with everything, and the office in Boulder City where refuge No. 404 was finally successfully listed.

It covers an area of ​​120 square meters in total, no public share does not count the entrance, a total of three floors, and a monthly rent of 800 chips. The first floor serves as a lobby, and the second and third floors serve as hotels where players can rest.

In the future, according to the situation, Chu Guang will consider whether to make a save point here, and arrange a few dormant pods to store in the past, so that players can save here.

There is a power grid in the area near the industrial area of ​​Boulder City. One chip can buy 10 kilowatt-hours of electricity. Some people buy firewood generators to generate electricity by themselves, or tie solar panels on the roof.

There are also a mixture of the two.

However, buying a generator is often three or four digits, which is not suitable at this stage.

With only 10,000 chips, Shuyu dared not waste it. After paying three months' rent and one month's deposit, half of the remaining 6,800 chips would be spent on decoration and furniture purchase.

This is the request of the manager.

Even if the budget is tight, I must decorate this place with the "taste of an adventurer guild" according to the pictures he provided.

Shouldn’t it be Chamber of Commerce?   Shuyu didn't understand, but he didn't take it too seriously. He just treated it as the manager's personal hobby.

After renting the venue, he immediately put the communication base station on the rack, and the antenna was hung on the roof, disguised with something less conspicuous.

With this thing, players' VMs can finally receive the news from the shelter normally!

But it may be because the wall is too high, the signal here is too weak.

Late at night.

Shuyu, who was finally over, hung the earphones on his ears and got in touch with the manager who was far away in the evacuation shelter.

"My lord, in accordance with your instructions, I have contacted the local decoration company for construction. The decoration of the lobby is expected to be completed within one week! The decoration of the second and third floors will also be within two weeks. It's over!"

"Yes, you did a good job."

A voice of approval came from the other end of the phone, and he paused for a while and then said.

"The problem of the venue is solved, and the problem of the employees must be as soon as possible. I need you to hire some local employees who understand the local situation, at least ten people, half of the field work, half of the internal work."

The field office is responsible for responding to players and communicating with locals.

Chu Guang promised in the version that this will provide players with a more convenient channel to hire NPCs with higher transaction levels to help them sell things.

When you are okay, you can also research the market, collect local rumors, organize them into intelligence and send them back to the refuge.

Soon the whole Qingquan City will be lively.

When the time comes, you should be able to hear a lot of interesting things from there.

As for internal work, to put it bluntly, they are civil servants, including tellers who receive players, handle business, and post tasks, as well as negotiate other business with locals.

If you find unemployed engineers or even blue jackets in other shelters, you can introduce them to a new place.

If they want.

"... Staff training can be carried out in accordance with the manual I sent you. Salaries can be appropriately higher in accordance with market conditions. We cannot count on their loyalty, but we can use profit They are tied to our war chariot."

"You hold this for yourself, I believe in your ability."

Holding headphones in both hands, Shuyu is nodded seriously.

"Okay adults, but now there is a problem... We only have 3,400 chips left in our account. Even according to the minimum standard here, we have to open 3 chips to an employee Daily salary, considering that we need to bear their food and lodging, the actual cost may be 4~5 chips, and the actual cost of employing a month may be as high as 150. If we hire 10 people at a time, our current funds are enough to use up to two Month."

It's not just that the funds in the account are not enough.

The more important thing is the source of funding!    An organization that provides services to hundreds or even thousands of people is impossible always relying on subsidies from shelters, even more how shelters do not have so many chip reserves.

Hearing his concerns, Chu Guang said in a reassuring tone.

"Don’t worry, the funding problem will be resolved soon. I hope you don’t have to worry about the bargaining chip in the future. After the trade route is opened, the bulk commodity import and export business between the shelter and Boulder will be handed over to you Responsible, 10% of the transaction amount will be used as your funding."

"But remember, you are not an organization for profit, but a public organization that serves the refuge collective."

"I hope you keep this in mind!"

To put it simply, the evaluation of departmental KPIs is not based on the retention of departmental funds. It cannot be wasted, but it does not need to be too economical, let alone Fight with other departments in order to dig out funds.

You don’t refer to this for promotion or promotion in the future. If you raise the import price for a little money, when the time comes, you will be delicious.

However, Chu Guang thinks that it is simple, and it may be a bit difficult for people in this world, so he simply changed the language he could understand.

Of course, Shuyu understood, and there was a hint of admiration in his heart.

Don't take profit as the purpose, the collective interest takes precedence.

You deserve to be the manager!   No wonder it can rule such a large territory and unite the undisciplined wastelanders.

This far-sighted vision, as well as this realm of thought, is indeed not comparable to ordinary wastelanders...

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, not long after the four little players got up, they were given summon by the NPC called Shuyu.

Putting on the equipment, Ye Shi said with great enthusiasm.

"What are we going to do today?"

Shuyu replied in unskilled shelter language.

"We are going to recruit employees from the office, do you want to come together?"

Recruiting new NPCs? !   Is this something players can participate in? !   Hearing these words, the eyes of the four little players lit up instantly.

Especially Ye Shi, the whole person is excited.

"Will you refer to our opinions?"

Shu Yu was taken aback, glanced at the VM, and nodded when he looked at the subtitles that popped up on the screen.

"Yes."

Of course.

After all, this office serves them.

Rather, their opinions are very important.

"Hahaha, Ness!"

Ye Shi threw a fist excitedly, his face full of excitement.

Shuyu: "...?"

Milky thought?   What do you mean?   VM was translated, but he didn't understand after watching it for a long time. What the translated result means.

Kuangfeng looked towards Fang Chang with a helpless look, but didn't expect this guy was not a serious person, he was whispering there with his chin pinched.

"This really has to be paid attention to... after all, it's a partner who wants to get along day and night."

Who can refuse the white and beautiful big elder sister, whispering softly in his ears What about saying "Be careful on the road", "Be careful of safety", "I'll wait for you to come back"?

Taking 10,000 steps back, a vigorous "come on" can also make people full of energy!

Fang Chang swears, this is definitely not his personal hobby, mainly for the sake of everyone.

The wind sighed.

"A wave of rational analysis..."

Fang Chang immediately guessed what he was going to say, and directly interrupted his casting.

"That's good, you can shut up."

Ye Shi: "Go away, I don't need to be rational!"

Old Bai: "Yeah , I actually like gameplay more than reasonable."

"..."

Kuangfeng thinks it's better not to talk too much.

Leading the way is the Liszt caravan's guard, the man named Kaia with a bandage on his arm.

The entire group turned a few turns and came to a lively market.

However, it is different from other markets.

The goods sold in the stalls here are not a dazzling array of goods, but people.

Some sell others, and some sell themselves.

"This is the biggest'talent market' in Boulder City! Whether it is a free person or a slave, you can find it here!"

"...Occasionally you can even see outsiders The bionics brought by the team, and even the good things eliminated from the homes of the inner city noble lords."

"There is no bigger talent market in Qingquan City. If the people here can't enter you For my eyes, I can only go to the slums outside to try one's luck. But the quality there is so bad... I think you probably won’t be interested."

Then, Kaiya slightly smiled and looked towards Shuyu and the others who stood aside.

"Choose slowly, and be careful of those with obvious logos on their bodies. These people may be gang members, some even robbers, not having absolute confidence in eyesight, it is best to be cautious Er."

Shuyu looked at him unexpectedly.

"Is there a robber here?"

"Of course there is. The gates of Boulder City are open to anyone. Robber won't put on his face what he has done. But. It’s actually easy to tell them apart. Perception of breath is a compulsory course for a seasoned warrior."

Kaia has a confident smile on his face.

"Anyway, I will be fine until dark. If you can't make up your mind, I am willing to help you!"

He is just a temporary worker in a caravan.

Although it has been working for a year, it is far from the core employees. If the market is not good, you may be fired next year. When the time comes, you have to go to the wasteland to make a living.

There is nothing wrong with having a good relationship with these people.

He knew very well in his heart that if there were no Liszt's relationship, these people would not have glanced at himself when they walked on the street.

Even Boss needs to please someone, so he will naturally not let go of this opportunity to show his courtesy.

A book with a mind at work does not have so much mental activity. After nodded thanked him, he walked forward with the players.

This place is not so much a talent market as it is a refugee camp. It is really big, but the quality is difficult to completely satisfy.

Skinny people abound here, most people have a vegetable color on their faces, and at first glance they live on those "nutrient creams that are not nutritious at all."

There are very few people in formal wear, holding a sign full of words in their hands, writing their skills and job requirements.

Some people simply set up a stall to help others write on signs for a fee.

[Zhao Duo, an electrical engineer, expects a daily salary of 20 chips, accepts a 12-hour work schedule, can do carpentry work, and can also assemble iron-barreled rifles. ]

[Bilech, a blacksmith, worked in a steel factory, no matter it is a little fellow or a big guy, I can use it. Expect a daily salary of 6 chips and do not accept jobs outside the city. 】

[Limu, can use guns, can use daggers, and can do everything. ]

[...]

Looking at the scene in front of them, Fang Chang and Ye Shi were desperate.

"I'm desperate for the future."

"Yes, everyone has been genetically modified?"

Looking around.

I haven't seen a few beautiful ones.

"You two are also old players, it seems like you are entering the game for the first time..." Old Bai coughed dryly, "With the nutritional conditions on the wasteland, good-looking is the minority?"

"Well, the poor people here are too skinny, but there are some pretty girls among the mercenaries..." Kuangfeng's gaze has been fixed on a beautiful woman in leather, but when the other person looks over , He reflexively avoided.

Ye Shi argued and cited a counterexample: "But little fish!"

Fang Chang rolled the eyes to him.

"Is the nutrition not bad, do you think the manager is missing her meal?"

The wind is nodded, he commented pertinently.

"Indeed, the little girl seems to be a little taller than when we first entered the game."

It's not just a little fish.

Most of the younger NPCs in the outpost are pretty good-looking, especially those that are still developing.

For example, the boy named Xu Shun next to him, and Lu Bei who followed Brother Mole to Honghe Town.

These are the names they can call out.

And the tribesmen next door, they also have some exotic feelings.

A trace of clear comprehension suddenly appeared in Ye Shi's eyes.

"Understood, the version answer is to cultivate!"

Old Bai: "..."

Fang Chang: "Enterprise-level understanding."

p>

The strong wind held his forehead.

"I beg you to be your own person."

……

Just when Shuyu and the players were selecting employees, the gray squirrel on the other side In the clothing store, Schell still sits behind the wooden table and dozed off today.

The two clothes in the window are missing.

It is not sold or lost, but rented to people in need.

After all, those blue coats have to stay here for several days. Wouldn’t it be a good place for him if they weren’t sold in the end?   Lost or broken?

That's just right.

Just pay the price on the label and you're done.

Doing business with acquaintances is still very reliable.

The door banged open, and Schell, who was dozing off in fear, almost fell off his chair.

Seeing Robb, his old friend who runs a bar, he foul-mouthed angrily.

"What are you doing? Don't you know to lighten up when you come in!"

Robo ignored him, walked up with his eyes open, and slapped his hands on him. On the wooden table in front of him, Spit Xingzi said furiously.

"Does that kind of clothes still have?!"

Sear: "There are..."

Robomas continued non-stop: "How many me I want it all! And that socks, that's the very long one!"

Sear was taken aback.

"I want it all?"

Came back to his senses suddenly.

Sher, who hadn't woken up a second before, woke up instantly, looked at him with a serious expression and said.

"No problem, but that's the devil's silk, and it's the refuge technology... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

"But—"

Schell prolonged the tone, and said as soon as the conversation turned.

"For the sake of our relationship, I can help you figure out a solution."

Robo, who just showed a disappointed expression, grabbed the second half of the sentence. He said with excitement on his face.

"Thanks, good brother!"

Sear cleared his throat.

"Ah, a bargaining chip..."

"Haha, look at my memory! I almost forgot about the business!" Rob laughed, let go, grabbed his hand and stretched out Into his pocket, he took out a bag of large denomination chips and patted it on the table.

"Including the payment of your deposit, 600 chips are all here! The remaining money will be used as a deposit!"

I was surprised by this guy's refreshment, Xi Er moved quickly to put away the chips, and asked while watching him.

"What do you want so many clothes for?"

"You know, I run a bar!"

"Of course I know..."

p>

"Then you definitely don't know what happened yesterday. It's not that I brag. Yesterday you should really have a drink at my place," Robb said happily. "At the time, my dancer appeared on the stage in that outfit , The whole bar is boiling!"
