This Game Is Too Realistic

After the meeting.

Including reporters from Ideal City, Ke Ke from the college, and other personnel not related to the ceasefire negotiations, almost everyone left the meeting hall one after another with satisfaction.

Except for the representatives of the Legion.

Cohen sat motionless in his seat, staring angrily at Chu Guang, who was sitting across the negotiating table.

Including the group of Weiland officers standing behind him, their angry expressions made them want to eat him.

Chu Guang was the only one who looked confused, not knowing how he had offended these big noses.

Fortunately, Cohen didn't let him guess, and vented his anger straightforwardly.

"I'm very dissatisfied with your wording. We have an unconditional ceasefire. There is no winner or loser in this war. You shouldn't use the word victory!"

That's it...

Chu Guangyi clicked his tongue inwardly.

Everyone agreed that everyone would win, so I said to my subordinates, "What's going on?"

And it’s not like I haven’t given you a chance to speak.

It's you who insists on showing off, but who is your fault for dismissing this opportunity with "so much nonsense"?

If I had known you were so petty, I should have taken nineteen pens, exchanged them for each pen, and tortured you for a few more minutes.

The excess can also be used in a lottery.

What a loss!

"This is indeed inappropriate," Wu Changnian coughed, glanced at Chu Guang next to him, and said calmly, "This is a ceasefire negotiation. Using the word "win"... will cause misunderstanding."

Looking at the pair of hostile glances from across the negotiation table, Chu Guang was not at ease and said casually.

"What does it matter? Does Ideal City's media still have a branch in Triumph City?"

Wu Changnian thought for a moment and nodded.

"That's true."

He was also a little surprised that Cohen would react so strongly to those words. It was obvious that he was talking to his subordinates, and it would be too much to make a fuss about it.

However, from the standpoint of the company, he still had to say something to smooth things over. After all, the ceasefire agreement had not been signed, and it would not be good for anyone to make extravagant remarks at this time.

Cohen looked at Chu Guang coldly, finally snorted, stood up with his hands on the table, grabbed his copy of the ceasefire agreement, and left the meeting hall with a group of officers without looking back.

The eager players on the side showed disappointed expressions, especially the few guys who were not too big to watch the fun.

It seems that the gold coins of these old things cannot be exploded...

Watching those bleak figures leave, Chu Guang looked at Wu Changnian who was sitting aside.

"Did you get the coordinates of the Pioneer crew?"

Wu Changnian nodded.

"They have given it to us. The 26th Commando, led by Yun Song, arrived near the target area. There is also a mutant tribe near the entrance of Shelter 0. The legion has released the peace With their mercenary contracts, we can do whatever we want with those mutants."

Chu Guang said with a subtle expression.

"I was surprised before that the mutants in the desert... would actually do business with humans."

In the eyes of humans, don’t they just see them as pure breeding tools and food?

This sounds about as weird as negotiating terms with your takeout order.

Wu Changnian shrugged his shoulders.

"I also find it strange, but according to the Legion's own explanation, the previous commander-in-chief of Luoxia Province, General Klass, may have reached some kind of agreement with those mutants. Mutant mercenaries also participated in the expedition a year ago. "

"According to the intelligence we have received, the mutant mercenaries' fearless attack methods and terrifying self-healing abilities will make it difficult even for soldiers wearing power armor."

But it's just tricky.

The Death Corps fought against those mutants.

According to Edge Pad's own evaluation, those guys were just a group of elite monsters with a slightly thicker health bar, and were not even as difficult to deal with as the group of elite Weirant people they encountered on Highland 330.

After a pause, Wu Changnian continued.

"Cohen claimed that the marshal did not know about this. That Joseph should know something, but he was unwilling to talk more... In any case, Klass is dead, Griffin is also dead, and McClun is still alive, but it is estimated that he knows nothing. Not much. This is not a glamorous affair, and they can't investigate it just for your curiosity."

Chu Guang raised his eyebrows.

"Does that mean we have to wipe their butts?"

Wu Changnian nodded.

"Yes."

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"Haha, they have cleaned up this shit. The one who was punished by the previous one will not be punished by this one."

Wu Changnian nodded again and looked at his young ally seriously.

"Yes. Although you may know it, I still have to give you a piece of advice. Be careful of them, be careful of all of them. Regardless of the episode just now, they will never forget the 'shame' of the day. Once you show that you are weak and bullyable, they will show their fangs without hesitation and be ready to move... They are a race designed for fighting. Griffin is, so is Cohen, whoever comes here is the same. ”

This is why the Business Support Alliance took over Bicester Town.

They need a trustworthy friend to help them watch over those dishonest Wilantes.

The noise made by those guys has alerted Li Hui. The vast desert cannot stop the ambitions of the Weilant people. Even if it is just for the peace of Yunjian Province, they cannot completely stay out of it.

Chu Guang curled his lips.

"No wonder they can talk to mutants."

"That's two yards... But having said that, I was surprised when I came here. There are actually gray and black mutants in this wasteland."

Wu Changnian sighed and continued with a rather emotional tone.

"I thought the blue mutant with gills was outrageous enough... There are so many secrets in this world that we don't know about."

Chu Guang disagreed with his words.

No matter whether they are green or blue, gray or black, or colorful, as long as they are mutants, he does not intend to keep any of them alive.

This kind of monster that bundles plunder with reproduction and writes it into its DNA along with its hatred of people should not exist in this world from the beginning.

They're like goblins.

Every mutant cub carries a blood debt behind its back.

㱗After seeing the hell-like situation in the mutant lair on 76th Street in Qingquan City, he had no intention of negotiating with any mutants.

When he thought that his old friends on the Pioneer were actually together with that group of beasts, Chu Guang couldn't help clenching his fists on his knees.

"I have a small request."

"What request?" Wu Changnian's eyebrows twitched. He now had a headache when he heard this guy say the words request and suggestion.

What surprised him was that this guy didn't say anything embarrassing this time.

"Before withdrawing from Oasis No. 2, I want to drive my Iron Heart a little further west to take our old friends home."

Wu Changnian was stunned for a moment, with a strange expression on his face.

What kind of strange request is this?

Although it's a little strange, he definitely won't refuse.

"No problem... I'd rather say thank you. The airflow environment in the desert is very unstable, and the performance of the killer whales and Yun Ting is said to be very poor."

A smile also appeared on Chu Guang's face.

"That's it."

…

Shortly after the ceasefire agreement was signed, the company's troops stationed in Falcon City released their "migratory birds", giving wings to the news of victory.

The released drone crossed the desert, flew over the river valley, passed through the mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at the city-state located on the east coast shortly after dark.

Holographically projected fireworks were set off in the sky over Ideal City, and the Council Building in the center used an entire wall as a screen to show this historic moment to all the residents of Ideal City.

Including a speech by Wu Changnian, Vice Minister of the Department of Comprehensive Management.

Including what his allies, the Alliance, and the manager of Vault 404 said.

“…It’s an honor to witness this moment with you.”

"This is our victory!"

Yes.

This is a victory!

The Weirant people on the west coast are ashamed to admit the military failure of Luoxia Province. The euphemistic words are just a fig leaf for the losers. The expressions of those big-nosed people signing the ceasefire agreement are the best proof.

For the melon-eaters on Duandianyun, compared to Vice Minister Wu Changnian’s long speech, Chu Guang’s concise and concise speech was more popular.

Chu Guang didn't expect it either.

He turned out to be a truthful person who did not brag, and once again his ideal city became popular.

"Battle Royale" discussion forum operated by Skull Studios.

Because the identity of the developer of this game is too hardcore, it has attracted countless netizens who are not interested in virtual reality games, but are very interested in the alliance.

The CEO named Xue Hongliang is also very good at talking. He changed the title of the virtual community to "This is our victory!", which attracted the applause of countless players and passers-by.

On this day worth celebrating, no one here is discussing the game. Almost everyone is cheering for the victory that has just arrived.

A group of strange avatars cheered in the square.

"This is our victory!!!"

"Wake up, brother, the ground forces we dispatched are only a commando team and an experimental android unit. What does it have to do with us whether we can win this war or not?"

"Doesn't this just show the wisdom of the Council? Not a single resident of Ideal City sacrificed for this, and the final victory was achieved effortlessly!"

"Uh... a few died on the road."

"The administrator comes here and kicks out this guy who doesn't know how to read the atmosphere."

"Hahaha! I like their manager! Compared to that verbose middle-aged man, I am more attracted to the handsome young man!"

"Whoa, whoa, when will flights to the Alliance be opened? I have never been to any place outside the Yunjian Province!"

"That may be a bit difficult. I heard that the River Valley Province is the hometown of Deathclaw. Even if the Alliance is our ally, it is a bit dangerous to go to that kind of place."

"Anyway, thank God...our boss can finally come back to make games!"

"expect!"

"Hopefully he comes back alive."

…

"Night City" bar.

As a theme party on Victory Day, the BGM played on the day was a song "composed" by the residents of Dawn City.

Figures were swaying on the dance floor, and LED masks were dancing with flashing and changing smiley symbols. Under the flashing red, yellow and blue neon lights, the retro music rhythm unexpectedly fit the carnival atmosphere of the scene.

Sitting in the corner of the bar, Fang Chang quietly looked at the figures not far away, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.

He probably missed this "Ten Thousand Miles of Yellow Sand" expansion pack.

However, he has not wasted these few months.

While recharging his training at Yunjian University, he learned a lot of eye-opening things, including the city's popular business models and common management methods here.

He can now confirm that among the developers of "Wasteland OL", there is at least a consultant team composed of experts in many fields such as governance, economy, military, history, culture, religion, etc., to be responsible for polishing the details. work.

Just like the currency of a company.

At first, he thought that the credit points, abbreviated as Cr, were just a kind of game currency that had been reskinned, but after getting to know it more deeply, he discovered that the core of this thing was actually related to the concept of "DeFi (decentralized finance)" in reality. Don't seek harm.

No.

To describe Xianyi like this is insulting.

In reality, DeFi is still in the exploratory period and is still far from stable. Most digital currencies based on this theory are just tricks of flying kites and cutting leeks. But in this virtual game, it is truly decentralized.㪸Finance has actually been realized on a small scale!

At least it happened in Ideal City and Cr.

For example, the most basic one is that every resident of the ideal city is a credit currency issuer and a currency issuer guarantee.

Traditionally, if the central bank wants to put money into the market, it needs to use various financial instruments. But whether it is lending money to companies to expand production or lending money to residents for consumption, the beer and bubbles poured on the top of the pyramid cannot equally benefit everyone on the pyramid.

There may even be situations where someone drank a beer but was full of foam, and someone drank beer and vomited without tasting the foam at all.

But Ideal City based on the credit point framework is a different situation.

Smart contracts programmed based on quantum algorithms ensure that transactions are fair and equitable, and the properties of its credit currency and a series of financial rules determine that all participants in the industry will benefit equally from the prosperity of the industry.

Of course, this system also has its shortcomings. Equality does not mean average. It is impossible for everyone to live in a room with a window or on the upper floor of a building.

In addition, due to the inherent limitations of this set of rules, it not only does not restrict monopoly, but even encourages mergers between "industrial departments" within enterprises.

So much so that in a place like Ideal City, a monopoly that has been formed is even more difficult to break, and there is no force outside the rules that can correct it.

Unless the monopolist himself is eliminated from the market due to a business crisis or an unexpected incident, this is basically difficult.

The board of directors, whose seats are determined by shares, is unlikely to push for a bill to restrict monopoly. At most, it can only restrict the "production sector" that has formed a monopoly through mutual checks and balances, making it difficult to survive in this system by squeezing it.㱕Enterprise employees benefit.

After all, in this unique economic system, every resident is a monetary entity and has become a part of the currency.

From a philosophical point of view, although this has caused people to be highly "monetary" by things like credit points and lost their attributes as human beings, it can also be interpreted as "removing ordinary people from the debt relationship of the old era". liberation".

Everyone is his own debt, and he will no longer become a slave to money, or become a slave to others for money.

In addition to the side effect of leading to monopoly, the overly conservative credit expansion strategy makes it difficult for start-ups like "Skeleton Studio" to stand out, and it is difficult for people who don't like to play by the rules or are unfamiliar with the rules to adapt to life here.

But relatively speaking, the risks of the entire economic system have also been compressed to a jaw-dropping degree.

In the past century and a half, this small society with a population of one million or even tens of millions has not experienced a real economic overheating or depression!

The whole system is moving smoothly upward, slowly but surely.

He has never seen an economic curve with such a stable slope!

In reality, for medium-sized and above economies, if there was such strong certainty and not even a trace of ups and downs, they would have already stepped on the accelerator and accelerated.

If the slope is not aligned with the Y-axis, this is an investment opportunity that is sure to make money without losing money. This "sure but slow" situation will not occur at all.

The most outrageous thing is that this unique economic system can be seamlessly connected with traditional old-era economies, including the Alliance!

Whether it is import and export business or foreign aid expenditures, they have no impact on the smooth operation of the entire economy.

There is no doubt that this model does not exist in reality.

If this game is as completely real as it claims, I'm afraid this special model alone is enough to drive economists around the world crazy!

Of course, this system built with Cr as the cornerstone has become incredibly complex. Even residents who live in an ideal city may only know the tip of the iceberg about it.

Not to mention he is an outsider.

But just getting to know a little bit about him was a big shock to him.

During this short half-year study, Fang Chang even had the illusion that some sociological knowledge or experience that was not so "avant-garde" might be applicable to the real world.

Even if it is only theoretically feasible.

Since becoming financially free, he has become a professional player out of interest and has rarely paid attention to matters in the financial field.

However, this game made him new interested in the major he had put aside, and he even went to college in the game.

People are really full of surprises...

At this time, the electronic wind chime hanging at the door of the bar swayed gently, and a tall and beautiful woman came in from the outside.

Although in Ideal City, a place where many handsome men and beauties are attracted, Li Shuyue's appearance is not the most outstanding, but the straight-cut, monotonous color of the OL formal suit and her unique and capable temperament, in this This bar is full of cyberpunk flavor, but it looks very special.

So as soon as she entered the door, Fang Chang saw her at a glance.

At the same glance, she caught sight of that being who was incompatible with her surroundings. Li Shuyue walked across from him and sat on the chair that opened automatically.

"...The company meeting was delayed for a while. I hope I didn't keep you waiting for a long time. I'll treat you to a treat tomorrow."

"It's okay, there are still two minutes until the agreed time," Fang Chang glanced at the holographic clock on the wall and said with a smile, "I just did it a few minutes ago."

"See, is this the only thing I want to say?"

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for the treat."

Li Shuyue rolled her eyes.

At this time, she suddenly noticed the "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" and "Introduction to Economics" placed on the table, as well as the Yunjian University uniform he was wearing, and couldn't help laughing out loud, saying in a teasing tone.

"Are you watching this in a bar?"

"I just came out of night school." Seeing the weird expression on her face, Fang Chang shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said in a half-joking tone, "There's no other way, we native wastelanders don't know the rules, so we can only take advantage of it. I’ll give you some time to relax after get off work and study more.”

Li Shuyue suggested seriously.

"We are used to leaving professional things to professionals. If you want to recharge during your break, I recommend you to take management as an elective."

Fang Chang said with a smile.

"That's what I chose too."

Li Shuyue: "..."

Seeing that she didn't speak, Fang Chang continued.

"Speaking of which, what do you want to discuss here?"

Originally, he planned to go to the library for a while and then log off, but suddenly he was called out by this guy, saying that he wanted to talk.

After agreeing, he discovered that the location was actually a "Night City" bar not far from the Yunjian University Building.

Li Shuyue said casually.

"It's better not to go to a cafe at night."

"So why does it have to be at night?"

"No one thought you would win on the first day, you should have told me in advance!" Li Shuyue said with some complaint.

Fang Chang smiled but said nothing.

Of course he knew that the Alliance would win that night, even before the news spread to Ideal City - the second the ceasefire agreement was officially signed.

However, the information exchange between players is not shared with NPCs outside the alliance. Considering that the other party may have a council relationship, he did not mention it.

If the Board of Directors misunderstands that it controls information transmission channels that they do not understand, it may cause some trouble.

When he is not sure whether the other party will care about this detail, his habit is to treat it as "yes" by default.

Seeing that Fang Chang was not going to explain, although Li Shuyue felt a little depressed, she did not continue to dwell on this small matter.

After all, the other party really has no obligation to tell him the inside information.

"Anyway, I hope that the business plan we discussed before will be implemented before twelve o'clock in the morning on the same day. I will use the draft you gave me last time... I still need you to check the details. If there are no surprises, I will Use it, I hope there will be no accidents.”

This is the first commercial cooperation between the enterprise and the alliance. She has been preparing for this for several months, and she does not want to be preempted by other speculators who smell fishy smells.

She had a premonition.

The alliance will become a new growth point for enterprises’ overseas profits!

As she spoke, she took out a holographic computer pen from her briefcase and placed it on the table, then handed him an AR glasses connected to the computer.

Although that manuscript is not a serious trade secret, it is not suitable for display in public places.

After taking the glasses, Fang Chang couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Seriously, let's talk about business cooperation in a bar. This Party A simply has something wrong with it.

"Twelve o'clock in the morning... is it okay so late?" Fang Chang asked casually while clicking on the light blue holographic pop-up window and looking through it twice while doing a final check.

"In this city, time is credit, and credit is everything... No matter how many professional books you read, it's better to remember this."

After taking a look at the flashing characters "㱕㫧" on the electronic screen not far away, Li Shuyue suddenly thought about something, waved her hand to the person who ordered the stand-alone machine, and tapped its head twice with her index finger.

Soon, two glasses of special spirits were served.

"By the way, I almost forgot, congratulations," Li Shuyue looked at Fang Chang, who was carefully reviewing the manuscript, picked up one of the rainbow-colored cocktails, touched the edge of the other glass, lightly opened her lips and said, "Congratulations on your win. The war was won."

"But your expression tells me you're sorry." Looking at her serious expression, Fang Chang couldn't help but make a joke to lighten the atmosphere.

"Yes," Li Shuyue took a sip of her cocktail and rolled her eyes, "I almost could take in a homeless awakened person."

"This joke is not funny at all."

If the spring water is pushed.

Then the service will be closed.

However, he believed in his partners.

Although those guys were usually not very serious, they never let him look at them when it was time to get serious.

And he will not let them down either.

Smiling happily, Fang Chang picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it slightly.

"For our long-lasting friendship, and for our victory thousands of years away——"

"Cheers!"

…

"boom--!"

Gorgeous fireworks also bloomed over Dawn City.

Compared to Ideal City, which was about to end in the first half of the night, the sky was not that dark in Hehehe Province, but the lively atmosphere was not inferior at all.

The streets of Dawn City were filled with lights and colorful lights, and the residents of the shelters seemed to have known that victory would come that day.

Although there is no holographic projection that can cover the entire sky, nor is there a "floor-to-ceiling screen" that is thousands of meters high, the excitement and joy in the hearts of the survivors living here is no less than that of their friends far away on the east coast. .

Especially the heat and excitement flowing in the blood vessels are even stronger than those of the residents of the ideal city.

They are the witnesses of this war!

They defeated the invincible army!

Even if it was only for a short moment, they still accomplished a miracle that was almost impossible in the eyes of countless wastelanders - defeating the Legion on the frontal battlefield!

Those superior heirs are not invincible.

The league has proven that.

As long as they unite, they can even defeat the Wilantes in the areas they are best at and are most proud of!

Players may not feel that strongly in their hearts, but in the hearts of every survivor in the Alliance, a hot mark has been unknowingly left.

The young sprouts have already broken through the hardened soil.

The old era is ending.

Leaving it in the future is not only the cold winter, but also the desolation in people's hearts.

A new era will enter the stage of history. It will be an era that belongs to all wastelanders, not just the lucky few.

Everyone is convinced——

One day, those old orders will fall at our hands!

Fireworks bloom in the night and illuminate every face looking up.

Cheers and cheers were heard one after another on the street, and every resident of the shelter and every visitor from the wilderness felt warmly.

"Long live the Alliance!"

"Long live victory!"

“Long live the manager!!”

This night.

Many people are bound to be unable to sleep.

(I finally caught up, and I almost missed it the next day. By the way, if you are interested, you can participate in the card event. If you gather enough people, you can unlock the reading questions! I'm going to sleep now!)
