This Game Is Too Realistic

"Oh oh oh! Is this the legendary Mammoth State?"

On the deck of the Rourou, a girl with short hair was holding a telescope, lying on the back of a big bear, looking excitedly towards the land in the distance.

The rider, Rourou, looked at the shore with excitement and shouted.

"What a big port... and a sesame church!"

"What does it have to do with me..." The cat ears on the top of his head swayed from side to side, Sesame Paste said in a dumbfounded voice.

Every time she felt embarrassed, the top of her head and ears would become unlike her own.

The tail dog looked at the port getting closer and closer with a curious expression, and the tail dog kept shouting excitedly.

"Giao! Speaking of which, this place is similar to Silver Moon Bay! It's like it was carved from the same mold!"

"Even the statue on the pier!"

"That's actually sesame paste, right?"

"How is that possible..."

Listening to the noise from everyone, Sisi smiled and said as he came down from the gangway on the side of the cockpit to the deck.

"Well, this can be considered a local person."

Just now from a high place, she had seen the entire Mammoth City port, which was almost exactly the same as the most prosperous area of ​​Silver Moon Bay, and even more beautiful than the latter.

After all, the latter was built bit by bit by the believers of Silver Moon Bay through exploration, just like a building block where you want to build it where you want.

The former draws on the experience and lessons of the latter, and newly depicts the work on an empty canvas.

With the support of the Mammoth State authorities, it not only absorbed the strengths of Silver Moon Bay, but also made up for its shortcomings.

Rourou tilted his head and looked at Sisi and asked curiously.

"Xiao Congza?"

Sisi nodded and explained.

"Whether the merchant ships of Silver Moon Bay are going to Golden Gallon Port or the west of Central Continent, they will pass by the east coast of Borneo Province. No one will refuse an additional supply point on this route, not to mention that Mammoth Island itself is also huge." Population, population itself is a resource.”

"The authorities gained the trust of the Silver Moon Bay believers through a series of measures, and then rented the land to them. Those believers also built churches, banks and ports here... which is equivalent to the Mammoth State authorities not spending a single penny. With money, we can build a port.”

Before that, it was just a piece of bad land. No matter how you calculate this deal, the Mammoth State authorities have made a lot of money.

Si Si estimated that the Mammoth State authorities should have referred to the experience of Golden Gallen Port. After all, the group of "alone" officers all came from Golden Gallen Harbor. If they had never eaten pork, they would always see pigs running away.

"I see...is this the legendary win-win situation?"

Rourou nodded in realization, his tail lying on her back, but he was thinking about other things.

"Will there be mammoths?"

After listening to [that brainless]'s speech, Rourou couldn't help but squirt.

"How can such a thing exist?"

Tails: "Hey! Then why is it called Mammoth State?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Sisi showed a subtle expression, coughed slightly and said.

"Actually... there is."

"ah???"

Hearing this unexpected statement, both Rourou and Sesame Paste looked at her in surprise.

Especially the tail, he almost jumped on her with excitement (his eyes were shining) and he asked.

"Is it true?!"

Looking at the expectant expression on his face, Sisi nodded slightly, and while recalling the clues he had read in the documents, he spoke.

"I heard that because of their popularity, the People's Federation's research institute resurrected prehistoric mammoths through infrastructure projects during the Prosperity Era, and helped them adapt to the environment of the new century... They usually live in the northernmost part of Mammoth State, Dzobar There is a plateau under the mountains. I heard that people only live in the Tasang River area from the plateau in winter.”

"It actually came back to life just because it became so popular," Sesame Paste had a dumbfounded expression on his face, not knowing how to complain, "...the residents of the People's Federation really do whatever they want."

Rourou scratched his head and asked, unable to understand.

"By the way, won't this affect the ecological environment [on Earth]?"

Sisi thought for a while and said casually.

"In the People's League era, Borneo Province itself was probably a large zoo... putting some strange things in it doesn't seem to have any impact."

What's more, Wasteland Era has fully proved that the adaptive ability of the ecological environment is actually stronger than human imagination.

Not to mention prehistoric creatures such as mammoths that once existed on the earth, even if they were living things from head to toe, such as claws of death, monsters, and multi-legged beasts, they were just part of the food chain. It’s just a department.

Rourou couldn't help but sigh.

"...What a crazy generation."

Tai Tai touched his chin and thought for a long time, and suddenly suppressed a question.

"We've already found the mammoths, why not the dinosaurs?"

Sisi: "Uh... maybe it's not too late?"

Just as the group of people were talking, the Rourou Horn sounded a long whistle.

The large cargo ship slowly approached the edge of the dock.

With the efforts of all the crew and sailors, the ship was finally docked.

The actual situation here is completely different from the rumors.

The "Daily Survivor" of Golden Gallen Harbor said that the place was flooded by the overflowing river and turned into ruins, but what they saw were smooth brick roads and marble-carved Silver Moon Bay buildings.

The urban area not far away was indeed hit by a disaster. Some construction debris and shacks could be seen from a distance, but some concrete houses were also built on top of the ruins.

Sharp-eyed people quickly discovered that those houses seemed to be made of prefabricated concrete panels, and the shape of those prefabricated concrete panels was exactly the same as that of Boulder City.

Further away, some cranes can be seen at the construction site. These engineering equipment further support Rourou's conjecture.

Rourou estimated that the authorities used some foreign exchange reserves to import prefabricated concrete panel production equipment and hoisting technology from the alliance, and then used cement and steel purchased from other places to complete these "corn buildings."

I heard that Mammoth State has a population of tens of millions, and most of the people used to live worse than animals. Not long ago, there was even a flood that affected one of the three states.

It is unrealistic to expect them to live in a big house as soon as they move out of the bullpen. The league spent a lot of effort just to provide food and clothing for 100,000 people.

But what is gratifying is that the situation here seems to be getting better little by little.

Just like Dawn City.

It turned out that I was not optimistic about Lashi Rourou, but suddenly there was a slight change in my mind.

Maybe the performance of these tough-minded officers was not as bad as she thought?

It's really too early to talk about equality here. They first have to bring people here to eat...

After completing a series of formalities such as the delivery of goods, the group was planning to walk around the dock and visit this developing settlement, when they suddenly bumped into an acquaintance.

I saw a man wearing a fancy robe, his face red and his ears red, arguing with several people in uniforms.

In other words, what are you quibbling about——

"What I sell are frozen livestock! Why do you charge me tariffs on fur?"

"Damn it," the man in uniform mocked and said unceremoniously, "Mink skin grows on pigs? Find me a pig with mink skin!"

Mogavi blushed.

"You just haven't seen it! How dare you say that there is nothing in the wasteland? In Baiyue Province... there are many such strange things!"

The man in uniform rolled his eyes, his expression seemed to say, "You are simply insulting my intelligence."

At this moment, a pleasant voice jumped over from the side.

"Oh! Really? But why haven't you seen the tail after staying there for so long?"

"!!!"

"Do you have anything else to argue with?" The man in uniform looked at Mogavi with a mocking look, but the latter opened his eyes as if he had seen a ghost and looked at the three people in disbelief. A strange combination of bears.

"...Sisi? Tail?"

Tails stared at him for a while, feeling that he looked familiar.

At this moment, the distant memory suddenly caught up with her, and she cried out in surprise.

"Oh oh oh! You are the one who sells skin!"

Mogave was so shocked by these words that he almost choked on his own saliva and coughed several times before he recovered.

"What is selling skin? I have my own name, okay!"

"Hey, I'm sorry I forgot!" Tai Tai scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

The men in uniforms immediately followed his line of sight and looked a little nervous when they looked at the big bear, but it was only a little nervous.

Especially when they discovered that the bear could talk, they relaxed their tense nerves.

Are there any monsters in the wasteland?

Not least this talking bear.

As long as you can communicate.

"Are you... from the customs?" After walking in front of those people, Si Si took a look at their uniforms and asked curiously, "What are you arguing about? It's convenient for us to eat... uh, Is it convenient for us to know?"

The leading customs officer glanced at Mogavi next to him and said with a sneer.

"This guy wrapped pork in mink skin and declared it as livestock products. He wanted to take advantage of the tax exemption on grain imports!"

Mammoth State is in urgent need of foreign exchange, but these profiteers are trying to steal the silver coins earned by overseas workers frugally from their pockets!

If their superiors hadn't asked them to "treat these foreign businessmen with emotion and reason", they would have been talking so much nonsense here, and they would have been waiting on them long ago!

Rourou looked at Mogavi with a frustrated look in surprise and couldn't help but say.

"Good guy, you are such a bitch."

Mogavi knew he was wrong, but he still defended himself.

"It's none of my business...it's because they designed the rules themselves that there are loopholes."

Sis subtly looked away.

"...Having said that, I think you've gone a little too far."

By the way, shouldn’t we put some money aside for this occasion?

But judging from the anxious look on this guy's face, he must have tried but was rejected.

The commotion near the pier quickly attracted the attention of others, and in just a few minutes, a large circle of people gathered on the street.

At this time, an old man who looked to be about forty or fifty years old came over with two young people. He was about to ask what happened, but saw a few familiar faces from the crowd. The figure.

"What happened - Sisi?!"

Looking at the old man with a surprised look on his face, Sisi and his group also had surprised expressions on their faces.

"...Are you Aki?"

"You still remember me!" The old man came forward excitedly and held her hands tightly, "Long time no see!"

Sisi smiled and shook his hand.

"Yeah, long time no see."

This person is one of the veterans of the Yue Clan Resistance Army.

When the White Bear Knights made a big fuss in Golden Gallen Port, it was the old man Yaxi and other Yue tribe members who resolutely stayed and gave the opportunity to escape by boat to the rescued women and children. There was the later Moon Clan Resistance Army.

Although this resistance army fought a lot of stupid battles, and was later used by the warlords as an "experience package" for repeatedly spawning monsters, but objectively speaking, since they dared to stay and confront the regular army, it was a great achievement in itself. It's a matter of time.

The old man was so excited that he burst into tears and all the new boys next to him were stunned.

"Everyone misses you so much... By the way, is Granny Sanru okay?"

"Oh! She's in good health! Last time I saw her drinking a large bottle of beer!" Tails replied enthusiastically.

After hearing this, the old man showed a happy smile on his face.

"That's good...it seems like their lives are pretty good, so I'm relieved."

As he said that, he looked at Mogavi standing aside, then looked at Sisi and asked.

"This...is your friend?"

There was a subtle expression on Sisi's face, and he ignored Mogavi's pleading eyes and said.

"Let's forget it... But even so, I hope you won't be open to him because of our relationship. How to deal with it should be based on the rules you set before."

No matter what, robbing the poor is too much.

Seeing that his old friend didn't help him, Mogavi suddenly became anxious and began to play the emotional card.

"Oh! How could you do this...I helped you before! Have you forgotten?"

Sis looked at him indifferently and said.

"These are two different things...and even at that time, it was a transaction of paying the money and delivering the goods. Did we make you suffer?"

Hearing these words, Mogavi had a deflated expression on his face, and finally could no longer utter any quibbles.

Seeing a pair of eyes looking at him, he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said self-defeatingly.

"Okay, I surrender, I pay...I'll pay the customs duties to the boss!"

The customs boy turned his attention to his immediate superior, Yaxi, who nodded solemnly.

"Give him a ticket and the fine will be waived for the first offense, but the tax that should be paid must be paid!"

"Yes!" The young man nodded, then pulled out a receipt and threw it into Mogavi's hand with a half-smile, "Thank our director, and remember not to be so clever next time."

Mogawei glared at him fiercely, took the receipt and walked away in a hurry without saying a word.

Seeing that there was no more excitement, the crowd watching the excitement dispersed.

Looking at his benefactors whom he had not seen for many days, the serious look on Axi's face instantly disappeared and he spoke enthusiastically.

"What are your plans next?"

Sis glanced around.

"We originally planned to look around here to see if there were any investment opportunities... Ah, by the way, we also planned to go to the customs."

Axi's eyes lit up and he immediately suggested.

"That's good, you just follow me! Mammoth City has a tax-free policy for the import of production machinery, improved crop seeds, grain, medicine and other items. I am the person in charge of this, so I can give you Please introduce me."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Sisi readily accepted the old man's kindness. After all, she happened to also want to know the relevant information about this settlement.

On the one hand, this is her travel habit, and on the other hand, it is also a task assigned by the manager in advance.

According to reliable information, the Legion is trying to use the powder keg alliance in Mammoth State to exert pressure and prevent the alliance from advancing the space elevator-related agenda at the alliance's collective meeting.

Of course, it is impossible for the alliance to watch the Vaillante people make small moves right under their noses.

However, before formulating specific countermeasures, the alliance must first understand the situation here in Mammoth State.

And this glorious and easy task naturally fell on them who were engaged in commercial activities near Mammoth State.

Accompanied by Aki, a group of people went to the lounge of the Mammoth City Port Customs Office.

When they sat down in the lounge, they learned that this old man with a warm smile was actually the director of the General Administration of Customs of the Mammoth State Government!

Tails' eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at the old man in surprise and said.

"Good guy, you have become such a big official!"

Staring at that surprised look, Aki was a little embarrassed and quickly explained.

"You can't talk about being a high-ranking official. My position is not as exaggerated as you think... Mammoth City's port has just been opened to trade. The import and export volume per month is only about 10,000 silver coins, and the total of the entire General Administration of Customs is only four More than ten people can’t even make up a platoon.”

When he said [here], Axi also looked melancholy and shook his head.

"It turns out that I commanded a battalion anyway. If I hadn't been squeezed out by Lacy's gang, I wouldn't have been driven here to retire."

Hearing this sentence, Taiwei, Rourou and Sesame paste looked at each other in shock.

Being squeezed out [as the director of customs] still...

By the way, can this be excluded?

Except for the fact that there are a few fewer people directing, this is considered a promotion no matter how you look at it!

Sisi's expression was also a little subtle and he coughed slightly and changed the subject.

"I heard that there was a flood here before. We made a special trip to bring some food and medicine here... I wonder how the disaster situation is here?"

"The floods all happened in the fall. The Mammoth State of the Empire built strong walls and cleared the fields, and blew up the embankment of the Tasang River... Fortunately, the embankment was not high to begin with, so it didn't cause too much damage. We will I plan to build one that has a wider irrigation area and can also generate electricity.”

When talking about the flood disaster again, Aki's eyes flickered a little, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic. He just briefly talked about how smoothly the post-disaster construction work was, but he brushed off the losses caused by the disaster itself.

This should have been a good opportunity to sell out.

Although Sisi was a little confused, he didn't think too much and just continued to ask.

"Where's the plague? There's no plague, right?"

There will inevitably be a major epidemic after a major disaster, and this is what she is more worried about.

But Aki shook her head, dispelling her worries.

"No, we quickly brought the situation under control... Although there were some patients at first, we isolated them and almost cured them."

This is somewhat different from the report in "Daily Survivor", but it is inevitable that such a situation will occur.

After all, most of the residents of Golden Gallen Port are full of sympathy for the Yue Clan Resistance Army and full of hatred for the empire that oppresses people of all ethnic groups. They even organize spontaneous organizations to raise funds for the Resistance Army.

In addition to fulfilling the obligation of reporting the truth, a regional media will also be a projection of the audience's ideology.

After all, objectivity is always a relative concept. Even Dawn City's "Daily Survivor" cannot be objective in an absolute sense.

Hearing that the local situation was relatively stable, Sisi finally nodded with relief.

"That's good...it seems our worries are unnecessary."

"How can it be redundant? It's just that things may not be as exaggerated as you think."

Aki smiled to adjust the atmosphere and continued.

"And it's thanks to your help that we can recover so quickly. Recently, many businessmen from the alliance have come here to set up factories, especially Mr. Kwister. I've been looking at the houses he built for people. I’m envious! I’m not afraid of your jokes, but the house is still leaking, and all the people in the Dongster Factory have already moved into the building!”

There was a surprised expression on Sesame Paste's face.

"Did he build the house we were looking at at the port?"

Rourou was the same, muttering in surprise.

"That guy is so kind."

Sisi didn't feel any surprise and said softly.

"Businessmen who have fully experienced the great changes in Boulder City are more disciplined. There is nothing surprising about this."

Tails also nodded seriously.

"After all, the unruly guys are either bankrupt or dead."

Looking at the three people and one bear communicating in a language he didn't understand, Aki cleared his throat and continued.

"Although I cannot represent the Mammoth State authorities, as someone who has been helped by you, I sincerely hope that you can stay here for more time and give us a chance to entertain you."

"However, during your stay, I suggest that you stay in the parish of Silver Moon Church as much as possible. If you must leave here, try not to go to the southwest...especially near the front line. In this area, the Gray Wolf Army recently obtained a batch of weapons from nowhere, and their offensive has become more and more fierce, and our frontline has suffered a lot. "

Rourou looked at him worriedly and asked.

"Is it really okay with you?"

Aki said with a kind smile.

"Don't worry, we have survived the most difficult days! Now that we finally have our own base, it won't be more difficult than before."

When he said this, there was obvious hope and pride in his eyes.

Obviously.

Even though he was dissatisfied with Lacy for "excluding" him from the military system, he could not find any fault with the development of Mammoth State itself, and even expressed praise in his words.

Although Lacy looked down on the veterans of the Resistance Army, he did not completely trample the latter after gaining power. Instead, he arranged them into the "cabinet".

Regardless of whether this is promotion or suppression, and regardless of whether he is doing it to show off to the Kims of Golden Gallon Port, Chips Port or even the alliance behind them, at least he is relatively tolerant of opposition.

For this alone, this warlord is already much stronger than the warlords of Huzhou and Leopardzhou, who didn't even act.

Si Si thought for a long time and felt that another person might not be able to do better than them.

That night, three people and one bear stayed at a hotel near the General Administration of Customs.

Yaxi not only entertained them warmly, but also helped them solve all their food and lodging problems during their stay in Mammoth State. He even politely arranged for four female soldiers to act as bodyguards and guides for them.

After going offline.

Sisi, who had just eaten a full meal online, didn't feel hungry at all, but she was a little hypoglycemic, so she went to the refrigerator and opened a can of Coke, then went back to the living room and picked up the laptop she had thrown on the sofa yesterday. .

Sitting cross-legged in front of the coffee table, she bit her straw and thought about it while typing on the keyboard to complete the 2,000-word "investigation report" required by the manager.

This includes not only her observation of the local development potential and people's demeanor, but also her first impression of the Lashi authorities, etc.

[...It is difficult for me to evaluate whether the Mammoth State authorities are a qualified governing authority. After all, they came here only a few months ago. While locals don't think badly of Lacy, it's hard to say whether that's because their lives couldn't be any worse.

But objectively speaking, they have indeed done something, and are willing to use their few resources to make people here live a better life.

My report does not constitute investment advice, but I am indeed considering expanding White Bear Knight Bank's business (here).

】

Unconsciously, the report of two thousand words became tens of thousands of words in length.

㱗After realizing this, it is too late to change.

Sisi read the report over and over again, but couldn't figure out which part should be deleted, so he simply gave up on making changes and copied the report, which had tens of thousands of words, exactly.

Later, she will post this report on the forum and share it with everyone who is interested.

"Finally done..."

When he was done, Sisi stretched out and leaned comfortably on the sofa. Only then did he feel his stomach was empty, and he stretched out his hand to rub his deflated belly.

That's what makes this game so frustrating.

Obviously I have already eaten it in the game, but I have to eat it again when I am offline.

Especially when I eat so much in the game that I have no appetite at all when I'm offline. This feeling of being hungry but not yet hungry is simply too torturous!

Although she knew that Dog Planner would probably not watch it, and that guy never replied to her emails, she still couldn't help but sat up, and there were two words under the report sent to the NPC. Private goods".

[...If the respected planner can see it first, can you please design a game cabin with a maintenance device for "Wasteland OL"? I believe this should not be difficult for your company, and most players will be willing to pay for it. 】

[Eating two meals in a row is really too much. If this continues, I feel like I will starve to death in bed sooner or later...]
