This Game Is Too Realistic

"Are you a loser?!"

Looking at the mess on the table, Dolly stared in surprise.

A skewer of lizard meat as long as a forearm and as thick as two fingers, packed with tail meat grilled to a burnt red, was worth three chips.

She was already full after eating one skewer, but this guy ate a whole four skewers!

Dolly's eyes couldn't help but move downward.

She wanted to know where all the food this guy had eaten was stored? !

"Didn't you ask me to be welcome?"

Fang Chang calmly wiped his mouth with a tissue and admired the expression on her face for a moment.

After thinking for a moment, he then commented.

"The taste is really average, far worse than what we have."

The lizard meat seems to be imported from the south. I heard that the farms there raise edible lizards.

There is also crocodile meat, which tastes similar to chicken.

But having said that, the prices here are really not cheap. Such a simple dinner actually cost 20 chips.

Fang Chang couldn't help but think that he could make a lot of money by investing in an old street barbecue restaurant in Boulder City.

Although most residents here do not have the spending power, the mercenaries can still afford the money.

Looking at the pile of wooden picks on the plate, the corner of Dolly's mouth twitched, and she reluctantly put her hand into her pocket.

However, Fang Changyou threw the green chips with a face value of 25 into the tray in the waiter's hand.

"...Bring me two more bottles of beer and a bunch of lizard meat. There's no need to look for the rest."

"...Mr. You." Looking at the green chips on the plate, the waiter silently rolled his eyes.

It’s okay if you don’t have to look for it.

㰴There’s no need to look for it!

Looking at Fang Chang who bought the order, Dolly was stunned for a moment.

After a while, when the beer and skewers were served, she whispered.

"Didn't you tell me that I wanted to treat you...Why did you pay for me?"

"You won't ask me to wait until you get your first salary. You should keep the chips you have to pay the rent and repay the loan."

After taking a sip of the beer, which was as light as water, Fang Chang looked at Dolly with her mouth bulging, and teased with a smile, "And if you use the chips I gave you to treat me, I always feel like I'm at a loss."

"Well, that's what I earned too!" Dolly defended with a blushing face, "How can I use your chips to treat you?"

Seeing her naughty reaction, Fang Chang couldn't help laughing.

"Yes Yes Yes."

He never thought that one day he would be able to become friends with a piece of data.

But if you put this aside, this experience is quite interesting...

…

The northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

At the exit of the inter-provincial highway, a group of dark figures were slowly approaching from far away.

It is more like an army than a caravan.

The leading man wore light gray power armor, thick steel and composite materials that armed him from his toes to his teeth.

The Gauss rifle in his hand was like a big sword across his chest.

Among the more than a hundred people following him, except for the ten powered armors, the rest were also wearing "Pioneer" exoskeletons and holding "Black Swan" assault rifles.

Unlike the crew of the Pioneer, they are the Army of the Enterprise, the real soldiers.

Judging from the bullet marks and scratches on the car body and armor, it was obvious that their journey was not smooth sailing, and fierce battles often broke out along the way.

And not just one or two!

At this time, the man walking at the front raised his right hand, and the team behind him slowly stopped.

Not far in front of him, he saw a blue power armor standing.

The man stared at the powered armor for a while.

If I remember correctly, the name of this model should be "Order", which belongs to the police armor of the People's Federation era.

Behind the powered armor were dozens of soldiers wearing "Type 5" exoskeletons, all of which were police armors from the People's Federation era.

This kind of thing can usually only be seen in shelters.

The man was about to say something.

The powered armor standing in front of him took the initiative to lift the mask of his helmet and spoke in a loud voice.

"Welcome, friends from the east coast, I am the manager of Vault 404 and the manager of the new alliance. You can call me by my name Chu Guang, or you can call me by my code name Dawn."

Seeing that the other party had removed his mask, the man walking in front of the team clicked twice on the side of his helmet and also removed his own mask to show his sincerity.

Just as Chu Guang thought, there was a powerful face under the helmet.

He was younger than expected, looking to be in his early teens.

"Yunsong, captain of the 26th Commando Team of the Enterprise Army Department."

"We set off from Ideal City and headed to the western desert to reinforce the Pioneer. We have informed you on the communication channel about our intention."

"We need to replenish supplies, stay here for a few days, and then continue on the road."

The captain of Yunsong spoke very directly, without any euphemism, and had a military style. He was completely different from the engineers Chu Guang had dealt with before.

Chu Guang took a look at the subordinates behind him. There were about one hundred and thirty soldiers with loaded weapons.

The remaining thirty or fifty people were probably logistics personnel, and only a few carried self-defense weapons such as pistols.

In addition, there were nearly ten half-wheeled and half-tracked vehicles, probably containing supplies.

And the thirty two-headed oxen and mutated donkeys carrying goods didn't look like they were brought from Ideal City. They might have been picked up on the way.

There was no change in his attitude, and Chu Guang still had a spring-like smile on his face.

"Welcome, the door of the Alliance is always open to its friends!"

"This is not a place for talking. We have prepared a banquet for you to wash away the dust."

"Please come with me."

One of the conditions in exchange for the "Eternal Farm" built by the Pioneer as a refuge was to provide a resting place for the company's employees and troops when the company's reinforcements passed by the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.

Seeing that the manager in front of him fulfilled the agreement, Yun Song's brows relaxed slightly, and a smile relaxed on his tense face.

"Thank you very much."

"You're welcome."

With the same smile on his face, Chu Guang said in a calm tone.

"We are friends, and it is right to lend a helping hand to friends who are in trouble!"

…

Dawn City does not prohibit the entry of wastelanders who carry weapons, but there are requirements for the size of the armed personnel and the type of weapons.

For example, general mercenary groups and caravan guards can travel freely, but armed forces with more than 50 people need to register before entering the country.

Additional ammunition and explosives must be left at the trading post next to North Street and are not allowed to be taken into Shuguang City. You can take them with you when you leave.

Weapons carried with you will not check the bullets in the magazine, but the safety must not be opened at will, especially when on the street, the muzzle must be kept downward at all times.

There are drone patrols over Dawn City.

Once a violation is discovered, the guard will be dispatched within 10 minutes and issue an arrest mission to nearby players depending on the threat level.

For these soldiers who have come from afar, their number, equipment, and nature are obviously beyond the ordinary scope. Naturally, they cannot be treated like ordinary mercenary groups in terms of environmental procedures.

However, the enterprise is a partner of the new alliance, and Chu Guangjun generously granted them military access permission.

As for the location, the military camp next to the airport was chosen.

Since the 2nd Corps was transferred to Xizhou City for duty, there were many ready-made barracks available for use.

When they reached the entrance of the military camp, many soldiers had expressions of relief on their faces.

It can be seen that they suffered a lot along the way.

Yun Song had an expression of surprise on his face and repeatedly compared the 㱒 board in his hand.

On the screen are photos taken by the Pioneer.

On the bare wasteland there is only a concrete wall and a few simple barracks made of foam materials.

However, all of this has nothing to do with the photo in his hand. It can only be said that it has nothing to do with it.

Rows of uniform barracks are located in the open space. There are several wooden hangars next to the straight runway, and there are many 100mm artillery. There is also a reinforced communication tower not far away.

Looking to the southwest, you can see the bright lights under the night. Although the full picture of the survivor settlement could not be clearly seen, one could feel from the flickering outline that it was a prosperous settlement with a population of probably less than 10,000.

The strong contrast made Yun Song stunned. He couldn't help but look at Chu Guang and asked.

"This...is this really a long-term farm?"

He suspected that he might have gone to the wrong place.

Can guess what he was surprised about, Chu Guang smiled and said.

"That was a historical place name, and now its name is Shuguang City."

"As for the farm, it's just a corner of the northwest corner of Dawn City. We reclaimed the wasteland on the north bank of the lake into farmland. If you had come here half a year earlier, you could still see the tracks left by the Pioneer's tracks on the land."

"But now, it's covered by endless rice fields and corn fields."

Yun Song said nothing, but the shock in his heart was clearly written on his face.

If such a thing happened around Ideal City, he wouldn't find it strange.

Due to doing business with enterprises, many survivor settlements in Yunjian Province are also developing quite well.

In particular, the settlements around Yunshang City and Yunxia City are prosperous due to the well-connected trade routes and the heritage of the pre-war Ming Dynasty.

However, such a miracle actually happened in the wilderness of deep land!

This is incredible!

However, now is not the time to talk about such things.

After suppressing his surprise, Yun Song looked at Chu Guang and said in a serious tone.

"There are 20 wounded in our team. Can you provide them with beds to rest before settling us?"

"Wounded?" Chu Guang looked at him slightly surprised.

Yun Song nodded and said with a heavy expression.

"When we passed through Yongdong City, we encountered an ambush by a group of slime mold creatures disguised as survivors... 4 brothers stayed there forever, and 20 brothers suffered severe infections during the battle. "

"Their symptoms are rare. In addition to being irritable and irritable, they are also accompanied by multiple symptoms such as increased food intake, lethargy, and inability to control violent behaviors."

"We do not have professional medical equipment and personnel to deal with their conditions, and we do not have cryo-sleep equipment to relieve their pain. We can only give them regular injections of sedatives."

"Taking them on the road would be a burden and would be dangerous for them. We plan to keep them here with you for the time being."

"In July, there will be corporate caravans coming back from the west. They will bring our wounded back to Ideal City. I'm afraid we will have to trouble you to take care of those wounded for a while... Of course, we will pay you a reward."

Listening to the words of the commando captain in front of him, Chu Guang's expression also changed slightly.

Slime mold masquerading as a survivor?

Has the mother nest in Yeongdong City grown to that level?

What surprised Chu Guang even more was that even this group of professional soldiers armed with high-tech equipment were caught off guard by the slime mold fruiting bodies there.

If I remember correctly, Bach, who ran an aluminum factory in the northern suburbs, seemed to have been parasitized by Yongdong City.

"I'll let my doctor take a look at it for you." Chu Guang said seriously.

Although Yun Song didn't have high hopes for the small clinic here, Yun Song still nodded.

"Trouble."

…

Jie Feng's banquet was held in the military camp. These big-headed soldiers were not picky about the dining environment.

Rather, after living in the open air for so many years, just having a table to eat makes them happy.

Not to mention that rumor about food.

As soon as they crossed the border of the River Valley Province, many people were already full of expectations.

And at this moment, this expectation has indeed not come true.

More than a dozen round tables were placed on the open ground. The middle of the table was hollow, with a large pot embedded in it.

There were stones piled at the bottom of the pot, and hot coals were burning inside. The boiling pot was boiling with foam, and the hot breath was mixed with an alluring aroma, making everyone sitting at the table swallow their saliva.

Thinly sliced ​​meat and various meatballs are placed in wooden frames on the table. In addition, there are also sliced ​​cabbage, bean curds with dripping water, mushrooms, tofu cubes, instant noodles and so on.

With his eyes staring at the pot and the ingredients on the table, a corporate soldier sitting at the table couldn't help but ask.

"...What is this? How should I eat it?"

"Hot pot is a very common way of eating here. Just put the ingredients into the pot and cook it, then take it out and eat it." While smiling, Lu Bei, who was sitting at the table, gave a demonstration.

I saw him using chopsticks to pick up a piece of beef cut as thin as paper, put it into the pot and rinsed it twice, then took it out, dipped it in the dish, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing that he was eating so well, the other soldiers sitting on the round table moved their index fingers and followed suit.

The two groups of people were chatting while eating, and the lively atmosphere was like mist rising from the pot.

At the beginning, everyone was still a little unfamiliar.

But after eating a few slices of beef with beer, we quickly became familiar with each other and started talking completely.

Seeing the way these people were devouring their food, the soldier from the Guards Corps who was sitting at the table asked curiously.

"By the way, don't you have hot pot there?"

I heard that Ideal City is a very wealthy place, and is known as the Utopia closest to the prosperous era in this wasteland.

Compared with that place, their neighbor Boulder City was as insignificant as dust on a diamond.

Although there were rumors of exaggerated success, looking at these guys gobbling up food, Lu Bei couldn't imagine how wealthy that place could be.

Several enterprise soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

"I don't know, I'm an F-class employee."

"I'm level E. I should be able to be promoted to level D after I return."

"The treatment in the defense department has been upgraded by half a level, but the Cr given can only buy some ordinary food."

"We don't pay much attention to cooking methods there, but the egg quality and fat are not lacking."

"Restaurants will process the food before serving it, and the taste is usually not so bad."

At this time, a corporate soldier who was busy eating and not participating in the conversation took the time to raise his head and couldn't help but utter an envious curse word.

"Damn...do you eat like this every day?"

Lu Bei smiled sheepishly.

"It's not like every day... just occasionally."

Who can bear to eat hot pot every day?

Even if my stomach can handle it, my butt can't.

There are quite a lot of good things in Dawn City North Street, and the new alliance's treatment for the soldiers is also good, so they don't have to stare at the same thing and eat it.

Hearing [Friendly Army] say this, the corporate soldiers who looked envious finally showed their balanced expressions.

Fruit.

You can’t afford such delicious food every day…

…

Since he was short on time and had no time to prepare dinner for more than two people, Chu Guang had an idea and simply treated them to hot pot.

This kind of food that can be cooked while eating is not very troublesome to prepare. You can even cut it while eating, and the hot pot base is pre-made.

As for letting the soldiers of the Guards dine together with the company soldiers who came from afar, it was still Chu Guang's arrangement.

The main reason for doing this is to enhance the friendship between the two parties and eliminate the other party's wariness.

Of course, there is also another reason for this, just to borrow their brand name.

Chu Guang had heard a long time ago that the nobles and wealthy businessmen in Boulder City were the top "dog lickers" of the enterprise. The entire industrial complex in the outer city, and even the layout of the urban blocks, were modeled after the enterprise.

Products from Ideal City, especially high-tech products, can often be sold at sky-high prices in the inner city of Boulder City.

If it weren't for the reluctance to give up the interests of the city and the long distance, those nobles would probably have gone to the east coast to enjoy their happiness.

Thinking about Chu Guang sitting at the dining table, an intriguing smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

If this photo appeared on the headlines of tomorrow's "Daily Survivor", I wonder what the nobles in the inner city would think.

The company's delegation arrived in the northern suburbs with the 26th Commando of the Ministry of War and had friendly exchanges with the Union Guards.

He even thought of the headlines for the newly established newspaper.

"What are these noodles made of?" The commando adjutant couldn't help but ask as he put another piece of instant noodles into the hot pot.

There are still some noodle shops in Ideal City, but this kind of fried noodles is his first time.

Although deep-fried carbohydrates sound very unhealthy, they taste surprisingly good.

Especially when cooked in a spicy pot, the taste is simply amazing!

Perhaps it was because he was hungry on the way, but his mouth didn't stop talking from the first bite.

This is already the third bowl he has eaten!

"...a convenient food that can be cooked in a hot pot or brewed with boiling water. You guys came in a hurry. If you had told us a day or two in advance, I could have prepared more abundant food here." Chu Light said with a smile.

It can be seen that the company does not invest much budget.

Even the logistics are outsourced to merchants in the wasteland.

The man sitting on the right side of Yunsong is a businessman accompanying the army. His name is He, and he claims to be a businessman walking in the wasteland.

However, being able to be responsible for the logistics of the expedition does not look like an ordinary merchant.

"...eating while cooking. I have never seen such a strange way of eating."

As he ate slowly and carefully, the businessman named He had an expression of interest on his face.

It seemed like a business opportunity had been discovered.

"Are there no other places?" Chu Guang asked casually.

"There are similar ones, but the taste is not so bad..." After taking a sip of beer, He suddenly changed the subject and looked like Chu Guang and said, "Can I ask about the recipe of the seasoning? Of course, I can buy it with money. ”

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"This is not a secret. If you are interested, you may wish to chat with the chef later."

He 㠬 shook his head and said in a joking tone.

"I have been in business for so many years, and the first lesson I learned is that free things are the most expensive, so give me a chance to pay for them and deliver them."

Chu Guang glanced at him in slight surprise.

It seems that this guy is not easy to fool.

But think about it.

Most of the crew members on the Pioneer are engineers, and it is normal for them not to do business.

This guy is a serious businessman, and he has obviously dealt with the survivors' settlements outside Ideal City.

Those tricks that he has tried repeatedly, probably won't work that well for him here.

Chu Guang said cheerfully: "No problem! But let's talk about this after the banquet is over."

He said with a smile.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity. It's not just hot pot... I'm also interested in this instant noodle dish."

"Although the nutritional value does not seem to be high, I guess it should not be difficult to preserve and can provide a lot of calories. If eaten with some dehydrated dried vegetables, it might be quite popular among mercenaries and caravans. ”

sure.

This guy has something!

Chu Guang looked at him with more and more surprise.

Although this is not something difficult to think about.

But this guy who can smell the business opportunities in the bowl before finishing the meal is really not an ordinary guy.

Chu Guang smiled heartily and said.

"You discovered it!"

"The best-selling group of our instant noodles is really mercenaries, followed by caravans traveling far away."

He said with interest.

"Can you elaborate?"

"no problem!"

Chu Guang found that he and this guy got along quite well, especially when they talked about investing in setting up factories, expanding sales, and opening up the Yunjian Province market.

But at this moment, Chu Guang suddenly noticed that the captain named Yun Song seemed to be eating a little absent-mindedly, so he expressed concern.

"Is it not to your liking?"

"No, your food is very delicious, thank you for your hospitality," Yunsong sighed, staring at the wine bottles on the table with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "I'm just a little worried about the injured brothers."

Chu Guang could feel [his mood at the moment, but didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort him.

"Don't worry, although the conditions in our hospital are not as good as yours, our doctors and biologists are definitely professional. Especially regarding the research on brood and slime mold, we have been dealing with those ghosts for a long time. Got dealt with.”

As he was talking, the VM on his arm suddenly flashed, and a pop-up window popped up on the screen.

Chu Guang reached out and opened it and found that the message was from Heya.

[The inhibitor has been injected and the injured person is in stable condition. 】

His eyebrows were raised in surprise, and a happy smile immediately appeared on Chu Guang's face.

"...Just as I was talking, good news came."
