This Game Is Too Realistic

Although it took a while to log off last night, when the sun rose in the morning, the Bear Knights still appeared at the entrance of the Petra Fortress Market as scheduled, and saw Old Boomer who had been waiting there for a long time.

The old man who had changed his clothes no longer looked as embarrassed as before. Not only did he look much more energetic, but he finally looked like a businessman.

"Are you going to exchange the goods for money, or are you going to barter?" Looking at the benefactors in front of him, he said respectfully, "I recommend the latter. After all, you have also seen... The desert is not very peaceful right now. "It's not a good idea to hold money in your hands."

Having discussed it with his teammates beforehand, Sisi said.

"We need to stay here for a while, so let's exchange money."

Old Boomer nodded, without saying any more words, and began to help find buyers in the market who had the strength to buy the batch of goods they had.

Without any fanfare at all, a group of businessmen quickly gathered around after hearing that there was devil's cloth produced in the eastern provinces.

Tails and Rourou, who couldn't wait, followed curiously and watched the excitement.

Sesame Paste originally planned to follow him and have a look, but he was touched by a black and white cat. He squatted on the ground dumbfounded and helped smooth the fur of the cat, which had already rolled over and was lying on its back.

Sis left the matter of finding a buyer to Bulma, found a place nearby that was less noisy, and sat down. He spread out the "Silver Moon Holy Word" he just bought on his knees and read it quietly. .

The status of this book is probably equivalent to the "Bible" of the Camelback Kingdom, and its content is roughly the "interpretation" of the teachings of the Desert Spirit by local believers.

If "The Oasis under the Dhobar Mountains" explains the local humanities from the perspective of a scholar, then this "Holy Word" recommended by the academy's researchers analyzes the spiritual core of the locals from the perspective of a believer.

Under the protection of the Zhuobar Mountains, the Camelback Kingdom's unique geographical advantages make it almost free of alien harassment.

The most important threats basically come from the sea.

It is rich in salt, camels, bighorn cattle imported from Borneo Province, as well as a wide variety of fruits and grains. The local backwardness and prosperity coexist, with developed handicrafts and commerce, and the citizens are relatively wealthy. Some city-states even have people who are not loyal to the feudal lords. Merchants, and city officials elected by citizens.

It is precisely for this reason that the local people's attitude towards religion and the royal family is not as respectful as the people of the other four kingdoms.

If the falcon is a classical military righteousness, the destroyed honey badger is an enlightened lord, the golden lizard they did not go to is a feudal dynasty that pursues mysterious righteousness, and the lion who is in the midst of war is the road to inner saints. feudal dynasty, then this place is more like a classical republic.

The twelve city-states have a high degree of autonomy. Not only do the local residents have more unconventional living habits, they have even established a "religious" religion——

That is, the "Silver Moon Sect".

The sect's belief in the Spirit of the Sand Sea was infused with the animist theory of the Southern Islands. It invented a "lover" named the Silver Moon Goddess for the Spirit of the Sand Sea, which had neither gender nor wife, and gave it The divinity is injected with a touch of humanity.

According to the explanation of "Silver Moon Holy Words", the spirit of the Sand Sea is the spirit of the desert, rules the Luoxia Province, and is destined to rule the world.

But south of the Zhuobar Mountains, Silver Moon Bay, which is irrigated by rivers and "river banks", is the territory of the Silver Moon Goddess, and is governed by two gods.

The locals agree with the Kiryu sect's interpretation of the doomsday theory of the teachings, including "the world will eventually be swallowed up by yellow sand", but on this basis they also put forward their own views.

For example, "The world will burn out one day, so we should cherish this last dusk", "Candlelight can dispel darkness, and lighting it at dawn can delay the end of the world" and so on.

The former corresponds to the popular concept of carpe diem, while the latter has evolved into a worship culture.

At the beginning of each month, believers in the Camelback Kingdom will light a candle at home, worship and recite scriptures and pray in front of the Wan Zhuobar Mountain. They can even hire three unconverted pagans to do this for them, instead of having to be like a 㹏 Liu. Followers of the sect pray like this every day.

"...It seems that the Luoxia Province is really big, and five completely different cultural concepts have been demonstrated in a desert."

Sisi muttered something under his breath while flipping through the book, and at the same time silently made up his mind to collect more works written in the Wasteland Era during the trip, translate the contents and put them on the forum.

After all, it was something that a dog planner couldn't easily make up. It wouldn't be a pity if no one found out.

And she always had a feeling.

What I am doing may be able to resume the cultural lineage in this world that was cut off by war and radioactive fallout.

Although this does not bring about the benefits of silver coins and contribution points, in an open world game with such a high degree of completeness, it would be a pity to be a mission master with no feelings.

Even if it is just a hobby.

Although the noise in the market was noisy, it did not affect her reading.

The bargaining probably lasted until noon. There were too few merchants who could take out so much money at once, and the Bear Knights were unwilling to barter.

Old Boomer's mouth went dry as he spoke under the shed. He finally found a buyer who had the strength to eat this batch of goods.

This businessman was short in stature and had a slightly darker complexion. Judging from his almost distorted accent, he was obviously from Borneo Province in the southwest.

He planned to bring these fine silks and those strange products to his hometown.

Including those things like black silk and tweed silk.

These magical industrial products greatly interested him. The only flaw was one thing——

"Why are there only black and white colors?" he asked with a confused look on his face.

Tails was startled.

"Eh? Don't you want to see it?"

"It's not that I don't want to look at it," the businessman touched his chin and thought, "Don't you have any dyes there? Why don't you consider dyeing it in various colors..."

Sis closed the book in his hand and stood up from the carpet with a slightly subtle expression.

"That will eliminate the ugly."

Colorful and stuff...

Whether in reality or in the game, she didn't want to try it, but the tail on the side showed a thoughtful expression.

Hopefully she wasn't thinking about it too seriously.

The businessman smiled awkwardly.

"Anyway, that's okay. I'm satisfied with your goods... Let me do the math, how about 5 million gold camel coins?"

When he heard the number five million, Taiwei exclaimed, quickly looked at Rourou next to him and whispered.

"Fifty thousand...what is this concept?"

Rourou also whispered.

"I don't know! But the cattle here only cost three to four thousand each..."

Tails was instantly startled, his eyes sparkling.

"I giao! More than a thousand cows! Rourou, let's herd the cows from now on!"

Rourou refused without hesitation.

"I don't want it! We are the Knights of the Bear, herding cattle is too shameful! Besides, he wants to be the president of the mercenary union! Ah Wei, have you forgotten your dream?"

Tails scratched the back of his head.

"Hmm...it's a bit hard to decide."

Sesame paste, who was holding the cat, smiled shyly.

"Ha ha……"

Bargaining is Si Si's job. Among all the people, she is the only one who has the best human language. Not only can she communicate at a basic level, she can even roughly understand some rare words that are not easily understood by Sisi.

Although her level is not as high as that of big guys like Crow Crow and Teng Teng who have entered the game in "ancient times", at least in terms of language ability, she has reached the T1 level, and is about to catch up with someone who is almost as good as Paper Man. The big brother got married.

After some haggling, the goods were finally delivered for 10 million gold camel coins.

Although the guy looked like his wallet had been squeezed dry, Sisi always felt that there was a secretly amused smile hidden behind that frustrated expression.

As for the other members of the Bear Knights, they are currently immersed in the joy of the announcement.

Especially when I heard that the goods worth hundreds of thousands of silver coins had been exchanged for gold camel coins that could buy more than 3,000 cows. The tail and fleshy eyes almost changed the color of the silver coins.

Based on the average price of a cow of five thousand silver coins...

One thousand and fifty thousand silver coins? !

Tails clenched his fists excitedly.

"Giao! Si! We are rich!"

Rourou also said excitedly.

"Oh oh oh! I want to ask the manager to order an exoskeleton like Jun Jun!"

"This is too... amazing." Sesame Paste was stunned, and the cat in his arms almost dropped.

Si Si looked at his companions and curled his lips.

"It's not like I'm going to get rich, but I did make a little bit... By the way, Awei, and Rourou, remember not to show off on the forum."

Tails and Rourou nodded at the same time.

"Uh-huh!"

"Don't worry! I will watch this tail!"

Seeing that these two guys agreed so readily, Sisi felt a little uneasy.

But to be honest, this profit is actually not too exaggerated. The most difficult thing about running a business in the wasteland is not bargaining, but transporting the goods safely.

Even if these more than a thousand cattle were transported to the Frost Spear Pasture without any loss, deducting the grain, fresh water, employment expenses, natural fat loss of the animals, and changes in market supply and demand along the way. If they all bought cattle and transported them, it would be difficult to make half of the actual profit of 1,500,000 yuan.

Moreover, considering the limits of ranch capacity and the risks hidden in the freight cycle, this method makes it difficult to make long-term and stable money.

Although the ROE of factories that sell bricks, cement, steel, aircraft, tanks, and cannons is not high, the alliance's demand for these products is almost unlimited.

That’s the real money printing press.

Many T0 and T1 players no longer disclose their earnings on the forum.

Although there is no direct evidence, Sisi conservatively estimates that the value of the assets they hold will not be less than 100 million, or even more exaggerated.

It’s just that the profits are not withdrawn and turned into “cash” through dividends...

…

The two parties rented a warehouse and completed the delivery of the goods and the counting of gold coins.

Looking at the boxes of gold coins on the ground, the businessman patted the dust on his hands with great success, looked at Sisi and his group and said with a smile.

"Seeing that you have made me a fortune, I will give you a piece of advice. No matter what kind of business you are here for, I advise you to quickly exchange your golden camel coins for dinars, or other value-preservation methods. something.”

Tails tilted his head.

"Why?"

"When the Legion comes over, all this money will be turned into waste... Look at those people in the refugee camps and slums. Their pockets are stuffed with gold lion coins and gold badger coins, and they can't even buy a piece of bread. . I heard that many wealthy businessmen in Silver Moon Bay exchanged gold camel coins for dinars or ships going out to sea."

After all, they were doing business on someone else's territory. The merchant didn't speak too clearly and stopped talking.

The entire Honey Badger Kingdom fell within a week, and the Lion Kingdom lost half of its territory. Compared with the Falcon Kingdom, which was supported by the Legion, these ancient kingdoms were not on the same level in terms of equipment or military theory.

㱗From his point of view, Luoxia Province is no different from being finished.

The Hump Kingdom's final fate will probably be like the Falcon's, surrendering to the Legion and circulating dinars as legal currency.

"Then... what about gold?" Sesame Paste asked in a low voice.

"Gold..." the businessman shook his head, "I don't recommend it."

Although there are many local forces in the wasteland who mint gold coins, the embarrassing thing is that gold itself is not valuable.

There are many deep-seated reasons for this, including the large amount of gold mined in space left over from the Prosperity Era, the total value of society’s output being far lower than the total value of the precious metals in stock, and the lack of understanding of the cultural form of the Wasteland Era as to “what will happen tomorrow.” The expectation of "better" and the yearning for a better life, etc...

The biggest difference between the wasteland and the troubled times is that people in the troubled times do not doubt in their hearts that the troubled times are only temporary and will end sooner or later. Regarding the people in the wasteland, not many people hope that the dead civilization can be resurrected.

Therefore, the most valuable thing in the wasteland is never precious metals, but confidence, which is more expensive than gold.

A currency that lacks confidence is worthless.

As for factors such as force, productivity, technology, culture, etc. that can provide added value, although they also determine the value of currency, they are only superficial factors.

The businessman looked at Sisi. He felt that she should be able to understand the meaning of his previous words, so he took off his hat and said goodbye.

"...Thank you again, generous and beautiful lady. Your shipment brings a perfect end to my journey to the East. I sincerely advise you to leave this place before it's not too late." Right and wrong.”

"Thank you for your advice, I will pay attention to it." Without making any comments on his words, Si Si waved his hand and said goodbye to the merchant in front of him.

Old Boomer on the side saw the guest walking away, and finally couldn't hold back a curse.

"Petra Fortress will never surrender to the Legion, we are different from those cowards!"

The tail is full of energy.

"Oh! Then, as long as we create Petra, everything will be fine!"

Although Old Boomer didn't understand what she said, he could feel that it was a compliment to his hometown, and his face that was originally filled with indignation suddenly became happy.

Rourou couldn't help but complain.

"Awei, you played the wrong game."

Watching the secretly happy figure disappear at the street corner, Sisi glanced at the coin with the camel printed on it in his hand, then at the filled boxes behind him, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at Old Boomer.

"I plan to open a bank. People who have fled here from the Golden Lion Kingdom can exchange their golden lion coins for golden camel coins... Speaking of which, are private banks allowed here?"

This was not an impromptu idea on her part.

But what the businessman said just now made her see new business opportunities.

"This... no one said no," the cheerful old Boomer was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Exchange these money for gold lion coins? What do you want gold lion coins for?"

Sisi: "Isn't it possible?"

Old Boomer said dumbfounded.

"This is not a question of whether it is possible or not...but the Lion Kingdom is about to perish, and their currency will soon be worthless."

Although he emotionally believed that it was absolutely impossible for the Petra Fortress to fall, it was hard to say for the Lion Kingdom next door.

Once the city of Fengrao falls.

It was only a matter of time before the kingdom fell.

Sisi nodded, thought for a moment and said.

"Then... exchange it at an exchange rate of 6 to 1."

6 golden lion coins are exchanged for 1 golden camel coin.

Although it is not enough to allow those poor people to live the same life of worry-free food and clothing as in their hometown, it can at least prevent them from starving to death.

Hearing this exchange rate, Old Boomer smiled bitterly.

Six to one...

Even if it's six hundred to one, what you get in exchange is a pile of rubbish...

Tai Tai tilted his head and looked at Sisi.

"But don't we want to buy the cow back?"

"Well, that's what it is said, but as long as we win this war and drive the legion out of Luoxia Province, we can buy more cattle and return to the country..."

With excitement shining in his eyes, Si Si was halfway through speaking when he suddenly thought of something and stopped talking.

"Ah, by the way, how about we share the dividends first."

"Dividends?" Rourou tilted his head, "Why here?"

Sisi thought for a moment, calmed down and said.

"Well... this is just in case. After all, investment is risky, and I can't guarantee that my judgment will be correct."

No matter how careful a plan is, there is always the risk of something unexpected happening.

If you are successful and the income is gratifying, if you fail, you may not only get money, but also friendship that is more valuable than money.

These boxes of golden camel coins are almost all the belongings that everyone has saved since the server was launched, including most of the profits from the previous dungeon.

Once you lose.

Don't say half a year's hard work has been in vain.

She believes that her companions are not the kind of people who value interests above all else, which is why she likes to stay with them.

But she was sober after all.

It is difficult for a sober person to convince himself that he believes in the probability of human nature.

What's more, even if her companions would forgive her mistakes, she could not forgive herself for letting everyone's efforts go to waste.

She admitted that she was not as brave as others thought.

She is not afraid of too much love.

But I’m just afraid of taking the blame…

"If that nuclear bomb really blows up the river embankment, maybe you will lose money even if you win. If you are worried about losing your principal——"

"Don't say that kind of thing to others."

My shoulders were suddenly surrounded by a warm feeling.

Sisi, who was calmly analyzing just a second ago, suddenly had an unexpected blush on his cheeks, and his mouth was open and speechless.

He hugged her shoulders from behind, smiled and leaned close to her face while shaking his cat ears, and said in a happy voice.

"I actually know that Sisi always thinks a lot, and is super reliable when thinking about problems calmly. Although I am just an ordinary teacher in reality, and my game skills are average. I am not as good as you, but we are partners. …Please also trust us more!”

"If you have any plans, just tell us. Don't carry such a big psychological burden. Just do it boldly and confidently!"

"That's right!"

Rourou, whose eyes were shining from just now, raised his paws and said excitedly, "Although I don't understand it, it sounds awesome!"

She is also not the type of high-level player who defeats the strong. She selects support instantly when playing games. She also likes to hide behind the ADC when she is weak. Not only is she timid, but she is addicted to losing. To be the king, she has to DD teammates on the screen. After all, It's better to trick strangers than to trick acquaintances.

Even now, she still doesn’t know why the operator chose her, and she was lucky enough to get a heterogeneous character whose initial attributes were off the charts.

However, this is not the luckiest love.

The most fortunate thing in her mind is that she can meet a group of friends who never dislike her clumsiness and are willing to grow up with her.

Even if she made a comment like "the MT was frightened and ran away, causing the team to lose the front row", everyone would not blame her, but would patiently encourage her, help her adjust her equipment and research new weapons. Law……

It was great to meet them.

Tails also raised his hand enthusiastically.

"Oh! Everyone has no objections, and the tail also agrees! But we have to set aside the funds for treasure hunting. We have agreed to explore the ruins, so don't waste all the living expenses!"

Rourou glanced at her sideways and complained.

"No one would do this except you, okay?"

"Giao!!"

Tails showed a shocked expression after being complained about by Rourou, but it seemed that it was just a joke between friends.

Seeing everyone supporting him, Sisi's eyes were touched, and the explanations that came to his lips were finally condensed into two words.

"Thank you……"

"I told you not to be so outspoken."

Letting go of Si Si's shoulders, Sesame Luxin picked up the cat she had put on the ground and smiled sheepishly.

"Speaking of which, are there any plans for the ruins of Lost Valley?"

With a confident smile restored on his face, Sisi said in a serious tone.

"That's what I was going to say."
