This Game Is Too Realistic

"No! You can't eat this fruit!"

A dispute broke out in front of a fruit stall on North Street.

I saw a girl with a broad mind, like an old hen protecting her chicks, blocking the other two girls, one big and one small, behind her. In front of her, a boss with a fierce look was staring at her, as if he wanted to eat her.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around to watch the fun, Shuangxue, who didn't want to cause any trouble to the manager, pulled Crow Crow's arm worriedly.

"Crow Crow, that... we won't buy it."

Looking at the tit-for-tat confrontation between Ya Ya and the fruit stall owner, Shuang Ye, who was hiding behind her sister, had even more fear in her eyes and whispered.

"You... don't quarrel."

She just wondered what the green fruit tasted like, so she pestered her sister to buy her one to try, but she didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion.

The thought of causing trouble to her sister almost made her cry.

“It’s not a matter of whether you buy it or not!”

Looking at Shuangxue seriously, Yawu leaned down and touched her sister's little head, comforting the little girl's emotions, and said softly.

"...Sister, this is not a quarrel. There are bad guys selling bad things in our settlement. Can we allow them to continue to harm others?"

Shuangye blinked.

"Bad guy?"

"Um."

Crow Crow nodded vigorously, then straightened up, turned around, grabbed a green fruit from the stall, raised it high, looked around at the people watching around him, and shouted loudly.

"Attention everyone, this fruit is poisonous! Don't eat it casually!"

After the words fell, there was an uproar around him.

"poisonous?!"

"What's going on?!"

"Hiss... I think someone bought it and ate it."

"Is something going to happen?"

Hearing the whispers around him, the owner of the fruit stand suddenly blushed and glared at her.

"You! Be careful if I sue you for slander! This is a fruit shipped from the south...it's poisonous!"

Crow snorted proudly, puffing out his chest proudly.

"I can tell at a glance whether it's poisonous or not!"

Teng Teng, who was standing aside without saying a word, glanced sideways at his not-so-smart friend, folded his arms and sighed.

"This will be counterproductive."

"uh-huh?!"

"That makes sense," Jiujiu looked at the question-marked Crow Crow, stroking her chin wittily and rolling her eyes. "My brother insists on dragging me to level up whenever he has free time. I’m so annoyed…is this reverse psychology?”

Teng Teng held his forehead.

"...It actually has nothing to do with reverse psychology."

Crow Crow's talent is only effective for herself. In her world, poisonous things glow green, but others cannot see them.

What's more, her talent is actually not 100% accurate. There have been cases where players took it but were fine in the end.

Perception is one of the most metaphysical attributes of this game. It is the comprehensive expression of all insight abilities, and Crow Crow's "Toxin Intuition" talent is the metaphysics of metaphysics.

Almost as soon as Crow Crow finished speaking, the people watching the excitement looked at each other, and whispers spread around Kuaiyan.

"poisonous?!"

"This green color really doesn't look too big..."

"I think that girl is right!"

"She's wearing a blue coat!"

"And it's big!"

"But...even if she is a shelter resident, wouldn't it be a bit arbitrary to conclude that the thing was poisonous?"

"Indeed, according to their standards brought over from the Prosperity Era, there are too many poisonous things in the wasteland. I'm afraid even people are poisonous!"

"It's not easy to transport fruits from Jinchuan Province..."

"We wastelanders are not as fragile as they are. We can't eat this, we can't eat that. I'm so hungry that I'll even eat those who nibble!"

"Tsk, tsk, no matter what, I've offended the worst person on the alliance's territory... I'm afraid this boss will be doomed."

The residents of the alliance naturally stood on their own side, and they had no doubt about what Crow Crow said.

However, most of the survivors from other places sympathized with the boss, especially those traders who were doing small business in the wasteland.

At least in the settlements they passed through, there weren't so many rules.

Seeing that people's sympathy seemed to be on his side, the fruit stall owner, who was still a little bit shy about wearing the coat, suddenly stopped giving up.

After staring at the fruit for a while, Jiujiu felt that it looked familiar, and suddenly a look of surprise appeared on her face, "Ah... this fruit looks like the jade fruit that the garbage guys found in the south, right?"

Although the signal is blocked and no photos have been uploaded to the official website, judging from the description in the post, there is no doubt that this is the "emerald fruit".

so……

Are this jade fruit and the "na fruit" claimed by the boss actually the same thing?

"Well, it does look a bit like it."

Teng Teng was surprised to discover this, and then looked at the stall and placed a 100 silver coin note on the fruit stall.

"Hey, bring me a basket, and by the way, please take two of them yourself."

Tan Yu was stunned for a moment, and his expression became tense.

"I, I take two pills? Why should I take them..."

He remembered that the merchant who sold the goods to him said that it would be okay to eat one piece of this thing occasionally, but something would definitely happen if he ate two pieces at a time.

"Oh ho? Don't you even want to eat the things you sell?" Teng Teng smiled mischievously, "By the way, there is such a law in the alliance. Without the conditions for inspection, consumption The buyer has the right to ask the seller to try the product after buying it... You won’t tell me that you are so full that you can’t even eat a fruit the size of an apple?”

In fact, as the alliance grew bigger and bigger, this loose rule was as outdated as selling prisoners of war to other settlements.

The Biological Research Institute under the Alliance has established a Food Safety Inspection Section, which is responsible for conducting safety inspections on goods sold in the name of food on the market. It also identifies the toxicity of different parts of a series of heterogeneous species, including multi-legged beasts and monsters, and studies more Scientific food processing methods are adopted, and the sales range of some products is restricted or even ordered to be removed from the shelves.

A long time ago, most of the time to prove whether a thing could be eaten was solved by the players themselves "taking the lead".

"you!"

Seeing that the people around him who originally supported him were gradually becoming suspicious, the boss's anxious little eyes turned again and again, his fierce face suddenly squeezed into a ball, making a mournful expression, and he started to roll around.

"You blue coats... are ganging up to bully me, a businessman from out of town! What do you mean? The business here is simply impossible!"

"Hey! This person is so good at confusing right and wrong." Looking away from the subtitles on the VM screen, Jiujiu looked at the rogue boss in surprise and immediately said, "I'll find my brother!"

After saying that, Jiujiu turned around and started to move, but before taking two steps, Tengteng stretched out his hand and grabbed him.

"Don't look to your brother for everything. What problem can that guy solve?"

After saying that, Teng Teng sighed and looked seriously at the boss who was still talking arrogantly.

"Let me ask you one last time, are you sure you want to continue selling this thing? I can pay to buy it all, but if we identify it and find that it is moderately addictive or seriously harmful to eaters, Health, according to the current laws of the alliance, you will face more than three days of hard labor, and depending on the severity of the case, you may be sentenced to death. "

Before he even heard about the death penalty, when he heard about the labor force for more than three kilos, the boss's face suddenly turned pale and he laughed awkwardly.

"To, as for that? I just sold a few fruits... fruits."

Working in a mine with the raiders...

He neither killed anyone nor set fire to it, not to mention that a small amount of food is actually good for the body. People who can't survive can use this thing to relieve their pain.

How did it become poisonous?

Teng Teng stared at him who was trying to change the subject, and nodded seriously.

"We have no control over other places, but this is our home. We built it brick by brick. Don't expect us to turn a blind eye to what we see."

This statement won the approval of many people.

In particular, the boss's increasingly frustrated expression made people begin to wonder whether he was really that pitiful.

Why don't you dare to take a bite?

Is it difficult to pick one from your own stall and eat it?

"That's right!"

"I support!"

"These profiteers... don't even dare to eat it themselves, but they dare to put it on the shelves!"

"That's it! Hey, that fruit seller, you eat two! We are on your side!"

The boss's face turned blue and red.

At this time, Hanshuang came through the crowd with Sun Eclipse.

"I heard someone here needs help."

It smiled and glanced at everyone present.

"I am a member of the Celebration Autonomous Committee. Please tell me about your conflicts. I will conduct the most fair arbitration in accordance with the laws of the alliance. I guarantee that no bad guy will be spared and no Tuan will be wronged."

"No, no! I don't need arbitration!" The boss changed his expression when he saw her armband, shook his head and said, "I won't sell these fruits."

After saying that, he covered the green fruits with a curtain and planned to take away the stall.

"Ah... is the story over?"

Hanshuang's expression was slightly regretful.

Sun Eclipse, who was standing aside, glanced at it expressionlessly.

"I don't understand. Isn't this a good thing?"

Frost muttered.

"It's a good thing... but it still feels a bit pity."

Looking at the boss who was hurriedly closing the stall, Teng Teng fell into deep thought and spoke.

"We have to report this news as soon as possible..."

The residents of the shelter do not have the power to enforce the law. It is impossible for her to destroy or confiscate the stall regardless of other people's strange looks just because Crow Crow thinks the thing is poisonous.

Crow Crow also nodded seriously.

"Well! This is a big problem!"

Hearing these words, Hanshuang's eyes suddenly lit up and he regained his energy.

"Big problem? Leave it to me! I'll help."

Holding Shuangye's little hand, Shuangxue hesitated for a moment and looked at Crow Crow.

"Is it that serious?"

"Of course!" Crow Crow nodded seriously and said solemnly, "The Alliance is no longer the small settlement it used to be. If someone sells this thing here, it means that this thing has been circulated here."

Teng Teng nodded in agreement and said casually.

"Agree."

"When you see a cockroach in the house, there are actually countless cockroaches crawling in places you didn't see."

…

Just as Teng Teng guessed, when she, Yaya, and Jiujiu arrived at the nearest guard station, the guards were very busy with this matter.

Some residents of the shelter said that this kind of "naked fruit" is the same thing as the "emerald fruit" they found in the south, and is potentially harmful, but they have no way to prove it.

The toxicity of "Naguo" does not appear immediately. The sweet and greasy taste of honey is somewhat deceptive. Eating it may even make you "stronger" over a period of time.

It is precisely because of this that the alliance has been operating an effective conventional error correction mechanism, but it breaks down at the moment when the cognition cannot be unified.

Fortunately, the problem was discovered in time.

In addition to the conventional error correction mechanism, the Alliance also has another special mechanism - that is, the player mechanism.

The residents of Vault 404 will always respond to the mobilization of the shelter, whether it is a sudden war or daily order maintenance.

Xiaoqi immediately conveyed the management instructions to the security station and the Celebration Autonomous Committee to remove the "Naguo" from the shelves of the alliance market, recall the goods in the hands of the customers, and conduct a unified recall of the goods. Customers who have eaten must register.

The alliance's biological research institute will observe their subsequent symptoms and recycle their metabolites.

According to the clues reported by the garbage picker level 99 on the official website, humans and animals who have eaten the garbage will not get sick immediately, but they will lose their resistance to the disease, and the feces produced over a period of time will contaminate the soil, causing the ground to be unable to grow. food.

It is not yet certain whether this effect can be eliminated by technical means, but the two items of "reduced immunity" and "feces contaminating the soil" alone are enough to attract attention.

The drones flying over the alliance have started working, and the players scattered among the crowd have taken over the missions one after another.

This kind of food that hides hidden dangers——

Must disappear from the alliance's market!

"...get the results."

Looking at the text updated on the VM, Fang Chang touched his chin with interest, seeming to be thinking about these things.

Dolly, who had a camera hanging around her neck, took a curious look.

"What are you looking at?"

"This is our... uh, work diary," Fang Chang gave a brief introduction in a way she could understand, and then put the VM away, "A batch of harmful fruits appeared on the market, named Naguo. , It seems that merchants brought it from the south, does my lovely Miss Ji have any clues?"

"Naruto?" Dolly was stunned for a moment and shook her head in confusion, "This is also the first time I've heard of it..."

Fang Chang smiled faintly.

"Really? It seems that the trade hub in the southern plains of Hehe River Province has been transferred from the West Third Ring Road in Qingquan City to the northern suburbs. From this perspective, it is not a bad thing."

Although this also means more challenges.

"Is that fruit... dangerous?" Dolly said with a worried look.

"Well," Fang Chang nodded, glanced at the bustling crowd in the distance, and said concisely, "I hope this thing will not spread along our trade routes [Luoxia Province in the west, we finally solved it with great difficulty" food crisis."

Maybe...

The league should do something about it.

…

At the same time, the Union's banquet hall.

Chu Guang, who had just announced the start of the celebration in Triumph Square, then met with representatives from all parties, including corporate representatives, in the banquet hall.

The victory of the alliance is not only related to the future of the alliance, but also to the future of the entire area east of the desert, at least ten or even ten ten.

Therefore, regardless of whether they participated directly or indirectly in the expedition to Luoxia Province, most of the surviving settlements that had trade relations with the Alliance took the opportunity of the celebration to send representatives to the Alliance and brought them with them Blessings from afar.

Chu Guang knew most of these representatives.

For example, Minister Wu Chang from the enterprise, Prince Winter from the Lion Kingdom, and Avni, the little princess from the Honey Badger Kingdom who stayed in the alliance and never left, etc.

In addition to those acquaintances, there were also people who came from the surviving settlements that had not yet established relations with the alliance. It was also the first time for Chu Guang to see people from there.

For example, the place called Garbage City is located a little southeast of the Red River Alliance. There are usually no official gatherings, but this time a councilor was sent here.

Another example is the Yuemata Province to the east of the River Valley Province. There is a surviving settlement called Dam City with a population of several hundred thousand. The city simply sent his own son over.

The young man's name was Zhou Xianlin. His name sounded quite cultivated, and he looked elegant. He was very rare in the wasteland. As soon as they met, he held Chu Guang's hand and spoke excitedly and incoherently.

"Your speech... is simply too weak! I... I'm sorry, I don't know how to express my excitement! With such an excellent manager like you, no wonder you were able to complete such an amazing speech in one time. Miracle! We plan to learn from your experience, and when we return, we will change our settlement to the Dam Alliance!"

"Thank you. There are many outstanding people in the alliance. The reason why a miracle is a miracle is precisely because it cannot be completed by one person."

Seeing the enthusiasm flashing in the young man's eyes, Chu Guang was happy, but couldn't help but feel a hint of worry. He held his hand and said seriously.

"...I'm glad that you have such high affirmation of our results, but I still hope you won't blindly learn from them. Although we are all in the same wasteland, the problems we face are actually different. "

Zhou Xianlin nodded vigorously and said excitedly.

"Zai Bai! I will definitely keep it in mind! Our top priority is to eliminate the remnants of the Bone Chewing Tribe... It's so abominable that those plunderers are running around everywhere!"

Looking at the young man with a glowing face, Chu Guang always felt that he was a bit similar to Summer, but he was not as smart as Summer.

It seems that I have gained a little fanboy in an unexpected place.

However, considering that there were still many people waiting for him, Chu Guang did not spend much time having a long chat with the young man. He just patted him on the shoulder and went to meet the next representative.

He hoped that the young man really realized the importance of uniting the survivors, and not just worshiped the rapists.

Take the enterprise as an example. In terms of scale alone, the enterprise is far stronger than the Alliance, and the number of cards it inherited from the Post-War Reconstruction Committee is even greater. He can hardly imagine it.

However, let alone the wasteland, even in reality, directly copying the ideal city's routine will definitely collapse the normal social order.

Because that in itself is a "one in a million" coincidence.

If not for the entire population of Vault 6 and the colony ship Reach, who unanimously cast the exact same vote in that particular situation, Ideal City would not exist.

Even if there is only one opposing vote, even if the minority obeys the majority in the end, their ideals will definitely be stranded on the ground...

After finally dealing with representatives from all parties, Chu Guang was about to take a rest. Almost as soon as he sat down on the chair, Xiao Qi's voice came to his ears.

"㹏人! Your little player discovered a batch of suspected poisonous fruits at the celebration. They are suspected to be the same kind of jade fruits reported by the player "Trash Picking Level 99"."

Chu Guang frowned slightly when he heard the crisp voice in his ear.

Xiao Qi had previously reported to him what his little players had discovered in the south.

Although he did not participate in the discussion on the forum, whether it was "Naguo" or the mutant tribe called "Qi", he had been paying attention to the subsequent developments.

It's just that compared to other things, the priority of this matter is not that high, even lower than the alliance's "Large Aircraft Project" and the nuclear fuel in Nishikawa Province.

Compared to the mutant tribe seven or eight hundred kilometers away and a crop that suddenly appeared, the Alliance had too many things that Chu Guang needed to worry about personally.

Economically, he needs to ensure the orderly growth of debt scale while holding down the inflation caused by economic expansion. Industrially, he needs to divert a large amount of excess military production capacity to civilian use, and at the same time listen to the opinions of representatives of various industries to eliminate resources during the economic transition period. Waste and loss.

In terms of work, he needs to further clarify the powers and responsibilities of each department and position. Things that could be done "more quickly, more efficiently" in the past must now be done according to rules. Not only that, he also had to carefully add some elements more suitable for the Wasteland Era to the "AI market concept" born in the Prosperity Era, in order to reduce the debuffs caused by reduced efficiency and acclimatization.

Not to mention military, cultural, and foreign affairs... there are still a lot of things to do. And after completing these things, he has to use the same rules in the language of the game to prepare a version of "Wasteland OL" for players.

The Alliance is entering an unprecedented golden period of development, with hundreds of people deciding to stay here and join their cause almost every day.

Whether it is the alliance's own citizens or the surrounding surviving settlements, confidence in the alliance has never been higher.

Even those who hate and fear the Alliance from the bottom of their hearts have to admit that the Alliance has accomplished an almost impossible miracle and will not disappear for at least some time.

As the manager of the alliance, Chu Guangjun knows what his most important job is at this moment.

However, what he couldn't ignore was that the "Naguo" had quietly spread under his nose from the south. Some kind of unclean filth is spreading silently...

After thinking for a moment, Chu Guang immediately said to Xiao Qi.

"Send a sample [to Heya] and tell her to put aside what she is doing for the time being. I want to see the test results of [that thing] as soon as possible!"

The energetic answer came quickly from my ears.

"Take it!"
