This Game Is Too Realistic

"...The life-support device is still intact."

Looking at the report submitted by a certain player, Chu Guang had a dumbfounded expression on his face.

Pity.

Although he has the power to decide who to send gaming helmets to, he does not have the permission to "increase the product production line."

And...

Isn’t eating three more meals a day a “reward”?

From what he learned, many players were quite happy to become a loser. Especially the group of drunkards headed by Lao Bai, what they love to do most is to get drunk online, and then continue drinking offline.

In fact, it’s not just about eating.

The fun and enjoyment that "Second Life" brings to players is not limited to cooking, but also includes and is not limited to washing feet and bald skin online, and running back to continue washing when offline.

There is really nothing I can do about personal taste. After all, "Wasteland OL" is not a customized stand-alone game.

"I feel full online and have no appetite to eat offline." This kind of personal feeling can only be solved by oneself.

But then again, why did this guy write this thing in his report to managers?

Could it be that the person who opened a trumpet by himself was exposed?

A trace of doubt arose in Chu Guang's heart, but he gave it up after thinking for a while.

This possibility is slim.

According to a normal person's thinking, the young player should have felt that the game planners would actively peek at the screen of the game in the closed beta stage, especially for the "evaluation opinions" written by the players themselves, and they would definitely take the opportunity to take a sneak peek.

And actually, it doesn’t matter even if you guessed it.

The truth accidentally learned or guessed is just like the expired lottery numbers that happen to be dreamed about in dreams. They can neither be recognized nor used to redeem prizes.

Just knowing that there is such a thing means nothing at all.

Just when Chu Guang was about to close the report, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the pen holder, suddenly came over and said something unexpectedly with great interest.

"Actually, it's not difficult from a technical point of view. All we need to do is outsource the production of this equipment to companies with relevant qualifications in the world!"

According to its observations, many players and cloud players operate industries related to the game business in reality. Some of them make money by relying on poor information, some make money by relying on poor technology, and there are also those who exchange currency and sell peripherals.

Especially the currency exchanger, who does the biggest business. Not only has he recruited top players in the servo market, he has also taken advantage of his own advantage in silver coin reserves to expand his business scope to include artificial intelligence and precision machinery manufacturing. field.

I believe that with that player’s ability, it shouldn’t be a big problem to build a cultivation cabin with less technical content in reality!

After hearing Xiaoqi's words, Chu Guang just smiled faintly.

"I have considered the method you mentioned a long time ago."

"ah?"

Xiao Qi tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"Then why don't people do this?"

Chu Guang thought for a while and said.

"Because... I don't want to weaken their real-life social relationship. What they get from "Wasteland OL" is not only real money and status, but also knowledge, technology, experience, methods and principles. etc."

"They should use these things to bring a little change to their hometowns, create their own era of prosperity, and explore their own future."

"Although I can't go back, it's still my hometown after all."

Whether they choose mild improvements or radical changes, Chu Guang believes they will eventually embark on a different path from the wasteland world.

Even if most players don't realize it yet, they are actually united together.

And, they do have the energy to change the world.

…

The next morning.

Sisi, who was lying in the hotel, opened his eyes, stood up and walked to the door to check a few marks left on the door. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he walked into the bathroom and washed himself briefly before going out to the hotel. lobby.

This is a habit she developed during her travels, and it is also a habit shared by many players in camping out.

After all, you can no longer control the game character after you go offline.

Although VM has the functions of "online life monitoring and offline message reminder", this does not mean absolute safety and can only prevent fatal dangers.

When Sisi walked downstairs, four guides and bodyguards arranged for them by the Mammoth State authorities were already waiting in the lobby.

The name of the leader is Bella, a young girl. She was wearing a straight military uniform and carried an LD-47 assault rifle on her back. She had short, stylish hair that went above her ears, and her sharp eyes looked like she had been on the battlefield.

Judging from her epaulettes, her military rank was sergeant. As for the specific position, Aki did not mention it, but she was probably squad leader, which was equivalent to the captain of ten in the old imperial military system.

As for the others, judging by their military rank, they are all big soldiers, but there are no traces of training on their bodies, and they do not look like people who have been on the battlefield. They may be soldiers who have not been in the army for a long time, and their current job must be service or civilian work.

After seeing Sisi, Bella put her right fist against her chest, gave a military salute, and said politely.

"Dear guests from the alliance, this morning, did you rest well last night?"

"Good morning, I had a good rest..." Sisi gave her a relaxed smile, and then said, "If you're so polite, just call me Sisi."

Bella had a troubled expression on her face, but she nodded calmly.

"Miss Titus."

The task given to her by her superiors was to do her best to meet all the reasonable needs of these distinguished guests from the alliance, and to leave a positive impression on the alliance as much as possible.

If the Mammoth State authorities want to survive in this crisis-ridden wasteland, they must obtain the support of at least one major force in the wasteland.

She knew how important her mission was.

Looking at Ms. Bella who was overly serious, Sisi made a helpless expression but didn't say anything.

Seeing that Sisi didn't speak, Bella continued to speak politely.

"What are your plans for today?"

"Well," Sisi thought for a while and looked in the direction of the stairs, "I'm waiting for my companion to get up, and then we plan to walk around and check out the environment here. Oh, by the way, is there anything nearby? A place to eat? It’s a place where locals often go. We plan to have breakfast.”

Bella said immediately after hearing this.

"A place to eat? I understand. Just tell me when you are ready to leave."

While the two were talking, a big white bear and a girl with short hair came down the stairs.

Not long after, Sesame Paste also rubbed his sleepy eyes and yawned and went downstairs.

Accompanied by four bodyguards and guides, three people and one bear left the hotel and soon came to a street full of fireworks.

Standing at the entrance of the street, Bella looked at the group of people and said somewhat cautiously.

"This is the snack street of the parish. The shops run by them are all residents from Silver Moon Bay. They are the only ones who generally have the habit of eating breakfast... I don't know if it will suit your taste."

Si Si smiled when he heard this.

"Your worries are unnecessary."

Taichi spoke energetically.

"Oh! That's right! The residents of Silver Moon Bay actually learned their eating habits from us!"

Bella was stunned for a moment.

"Eh? Is it... like this? That's really weird. I've been worried that you guys won't get used to it."

She really didn't know there was such a connection.

Sesame paste said with a smile.

"You are too polite. In fact, there is no need. We are all easy-going people."

"By the way, ramen shops have opened here, and it has spread too far..." Rourou glanced towards the street, and was surprised to find that this place was a replica of Shuguang City North Street.

Not only ramen shops, but also those selling buns and shaomai, soy milk and fried dough sticks, and even fish meal and hot dry noodles.

The tempting fragrance aroused the greed in her stomach, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva several times.

Tails standing next to her did the same, nodding his chin in relief.

"Not bad, not bad, there is a successor under Hai Ji...Old man Zhang will probably be pleased."

Rourou couldn't help but complain.

"What the hell is under Haiji? Have you already assumed that he is an old man?"

Tails said proudly.

"Isn't this obvious? Which young person would use his real name as his online name?"

"By the way, don't you want to have breakfast?" Sesame looked at Bella in confusion and asked.

Bella shook her head, her hair swaying slightly by her ears.

"That was too luxurious for us. We used to only eat one meal, and occasionally we had to make do with it... We only had two meals recently."

"Sorry." Realizing that he had asked an inappropriate question, his voice sounded a little apologetic.

But Bella smiled and said nonchalantly.

"It's nothing, that was all in the past."

A group of people walked to the ramen shop and sat down. Bella originally wanted to pay, but was stopped by Sisi.

"We changed the money when we disembarked. I'll pay for it."

As she spoke, she left two hundred-dollar Mammoth banknotes on the table and continued talking to the boss.

"Here are eight bowls of noodles."

Bella and the other three guides were a little surprised to see that this distinguished guest wanted to treat them to noodles.

"This...isn't quite right."

Looking at Bella who looked embarrassed, she smiled and said.

"It's just a bowl of noodles, so it's not a bribe."

Bella waved her hands quickly and said.

"That's not what I meant..."

Sis pulled out the chair in front of the table and said with a smile.

"Then sit down and eat together."

Although she didn't have the habit of eating breakfast, Bella didn't want to refuse the invitation of the distinguished guests after all, so she sat at the dining table with the other three guide ladies.

Sisi secretly observed the four of them. Their reserved looks did not seem to be fake. It was obvious that they should rarely come to such a "luxury" restaurant to eat.

Although the living standards of the top brass in the Mammoth State are unclear, the style of the grassroots is relatively simple for the time being.

In addition, she also noticed that in addition to the exchange rate of Mammoth coins being similar to that of Qilun coins, the official exchange rate against silver coins was also 10:1. In terms of purchasing power in the local market, the former is even slightly higher than the latter.

A bowl of ramen here costs about 15 Mammoth Coins, while at Kim Clan Port it costs 20 Mammoth Coins.

This may be related to the fact that Mammoth Coin has just been launched and there is not much circulation on the market.

Of course, whether it's 15 mammoths or 20 qiluns, it's still much cheaper than a bowl of beef noodles that costs 3 to 4 silver coins in Dawn City, although the weight of the former is slightly less than the latter.

In addition, because Mammoth State is relatively poor and has limited foreign exchange reserves, Mammoth coins cannot be freely exchanged like Qilun. Locals can only use them as "consumption coupons", and only foreign businessmen can use them at designated exchange offices according to their respective quotas. Limit exchange.

Of course, there is no limit to exchanging silver coins for mammoth coins, and you can even get a few points discount by exchanging large amounts.

The authorities seem to have learned from the lessons of Huzhou and Leopard State and adopted stricter foreign exchange control measures. They are not blindly copying Jin Qilun Port's experience in getting rich.

While waiting for the noodles to be served, she had already learned a lot about the local purchasing power and living standards.

But after all, this is the parish where residents of Silvermoon Bay live, and the cost of living is obviously higher than that in other areas of Mammoth City.

If you want to know the real situation in the local area, you should go and see where the locals live.

Sisi was thinking about what kind of excuse he should find to let Bella take him to where the locals live, when the familiar and greasy voice floated over from the door.

"Hey! Si! There are Tails, Sesame Paste and Ms. Rourou... Haha, what a coincidence, we meet again!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Tai Tai, who was immersed in eating noodles, raised his head and said hello with a smile.

"Oh! Skin seller! Good morning!"

"Ahem... don't stop selling skins to me. I also have other businesses, okay!" Hearing that rude name, Mogavi glared at Taitail with a look of embarrassment, but in the end he didn't get angry.

Even if it wasn't for the sake of the goddess, he still had to restrain himself for the sake of money.

Shareholder of the White Bear Knights Bank and Baiyue Company, no matter which title he held, it was too heavy for him as a shipping guy.

Seeing those blazing eyes looking at him, Sisi sighed. Although he was not interested in this glib guy, he still said hello out of politeness.

"morning."

Sitting at the next table, Mogavi said helplessly.

"You are still so cold."

After taking a small sip of the noodle soup, she said casually.

"Why are you so enthusiastic so early in the morning? Do you have any feelings?"

"No, I just came here to have breakfast, and I plan to go to the market in the nearby city later."

Seeing the bodyguard carrying a gun staring at him intently, Mogavi spread his hands to show that he had no ill intentions, then took out a banknote and handed it to the waiter next to him.

"Bring me a bowl of noodles too... just like the lady next to you."

"Yes sir."

Not wanting to get involved in the personal affairs of these big guys, the waiter hurriedly hid behind the counter after taking the banknotes.

Sisi's eyes flickered slightly, he glanced at Mogavi who took out his chopsticks and was about to eat noodles, and asked with interest.

"Do you know anything about the markets nearby?"

Seeing the interest in his eyes, Mogavi immediately showed a delighted smile and started talking.

"Dang! Before you came here, I had been doing business here for two months. No one knows the situation here better than me... Speaking of which, what kind of business are you here for?"

Sisi didn't hide anything and said it bluntly.

"We imported a batch of grain from Silver Moon Bay, as well as some anti-inflammatory drugs and malaria prevention drugs."

"Anti-inflammatory drugs, this is a good thing. I heard that the demand on the front line is quite large... However, the profit margin is still too low for food. The flood happened after the autumn harvest. Food here is actually not that scarce, especially for people. People who can afford food." Mogavi shook his head, his expression seemed a bit pity.

Sisi continued to ask with interest.

"Then what business is there to do here?"

"You asked the right person! I won't tell most people, but what you say...I can reveal it to you for free," Mogawi winked with a mysterious look, lowered his voice and said, "Priceless Jewelry, handicrafts from Ideal City, and valuable leather... especially the leather that is loved by rich people in the desert can be sold for big prices here!"

Hearing this sentence, Taiwei and Sesame Pasty looked at each other with confused expressions. Rourou, who was sitting next to him, spoke frankly and looked at him puzzledly and asked.

"The skin is loved by the wealthy people in the desert...why don't you just sell it to the wealthy people in the desert?"

Sesame paste also asked in confusion.

"Yes... can the price offered by the people here be higher than that of Silver Moon Bay?"

Mogavi smiled mysteriously and continued talking eloquently.

"You don't understand this. No matter how poor the place is, there are rich people. They buy these luxury goods not only for themselves, but also to preserve their value. Therefore, they can even give a more generous premium than the wealthy people in the desert. "

Si Si asked thoughtfully.

"Are there many rich people here?"

Mogavi laughed and said.

"That's a lot more than you think! Especially the old nobles. Although the government bought their land at a low price, they also bought it with money... Mammoth coins."

Hearing these words, Sisi's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and he could see the clue at a glance.

"I see, you are in the business of laundering money..."

Mogavi gave a thumbs up and said with a smile.

"As expected of you, nothing can escape your eyes."

Rourou looked at Sisi in confusion and asked in a low voice in Mandarin.

"What do you mean...why did it become money laundering?"

Said in a soft voice.

"This is actually easy to understand. The Lashi authorities issued a large amount of mammoth coins from the old nobles to buy their land that was flooded by floods. However, the mammoth coins cannot be freely exchanged, so the old nobles used the money to buy them. Luxuries that are relatively valuable. These items are easier to transport than coins. You can exchange them for a lot of silver coins just by moving them to Silver Moon Bay.”

Although Baiyue Ting Province is rich in leather, there are also differences in rarity among them. Some are cheaper than cotton fabrics, while some are ridiculously expensive.

As far as she knew, a high-quality blood mink fur could even be sold for millions of silver coins.

There is a person on the forum who got rich overnight thanks to a blood mink he caught by chance.

After hearing these words, Rourou's face showed an expression of emotion.

"These nobles are real dogs..."

Sesame paste still couldn't understand and looked at Si Si's question in confusion.

"But... why did Laxi give them money? Can't we just take the land away from them?"

Si Si explained patiently.

"Paying money to buy also has the advantage of paying money to buy. A regime cannot achieve dominance over the region by relying on fear alone, not to mention that the Yue Clan resistance army is an external force. If they want to achieve rule and want to abolish slavery and liberate productivity, they must Develop some level of cooperation with local forces.”

"Of course, it doesn't rule out that Lacy didn't think that much at all. He might just be referring to what the Burning Corps did in Golden Gallon Port."

It was the same when the Burning Legion occupied Golden Gallen Port.

Apart from throwing several war criminals in Nihak into prison, Elder Brother Fang and the others did not take any advantage of other local residents, whether nobles or civilians.

Although many old aristocrats were abandoned by the carriage of the times because they could not adapt to the times, the entire process of class mobility was carried out in a relatively mild state, at least without triggering a large-scale backlash from conservative forces.

Lacy made some improvements on this basis, especially on the issue of land.

After all, the Alliance does not need to rely on land to make money, nor does Golden Gallon Port. However, after all, Mammoth State's economy is based on agriculture and has zero industrial base, so it can only focus on land and population.

After a pause, Sisi continued thinking.

"In addition to winning people's hearts, I speculate that he probably also hopes that the old nobles will use their money to invest in industry. Even if they go to Mammoth City to hire people to build some houses, it will be helpful to the economy of Mammoth State..."

"However, those old nobles are not all optimistic about him. Some people may have really invested in the industry with their money, but there are also some people who are just thinking about how to use the mammoth coins or large amounts of money in their hands. Exchange the goods for silver coins and cash out.”

Seeing Si Si and his companions next to him speaking in incomprehensible languages, and the soldiers looking at him with murderous eyes, Mogawe felt uncomfortable all over, and the chair under his butt was as hot as fire.

He certainly wasn't worried about a few top soldiers reporting on him.

Not to mention that he is from Silver Moon Bay, and he enjoys certain "immunity" in the local area.

He can do this shady business, and he has his own backing to show off locally.

The most important thing is that the authorities have not enacted relevant laws to prevent him from doing this?

Even if it's really unethical.

"Ahem...I still have some food. I'm leaving first. If you are interested in the market here, we can chat alone next time." After finishing the noodles in a hurry, Mogawe threw down his chopsticks and looked at the person sitting at the next table. Sisi frowned, then stood up and left.

Watching the figure disappear through the door, a female soldier sitting at the table couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

"These moths..."

The foreign exchange in Mammoth State was carried out by the overseas workers in piles of bricks, but there were always these villains trying to take the meager money from their pockets.

Bella glanced at the girl and immediately realized that she shouldn't talk nonsense and quickly shut her mouth.

However, Tai Wei, who was sitting nearby, heard her muttering and nodded in understanding.

"That's right, Tai Tai feels the same way... He even steals money from the poor, his conscience is so bad!"

Bella was silent for a while, looking at the door with complicated eyes, and finally sighed and said.

"That being said, we still need these people... If we just rely on ourselves, we may not be able to survive."

Rourou looked at her puzzled.

“Can’t we just put the good people in and kick the bad people out?”

Bella shook her head.

"Sir Lacy said, Mammoth State is like a moldy old house. We can't just live in it and not care about anything. Not only do we have to clean the place, but we also have to find ways to open a window for ventilation. Among them There will definitely be a few flies and mosquitoes mixed in, but you can’t just open the window just because you’re afraid of flies crawling in and mosquitoes biting you.”

Tails' eyes widened in surprise, and the "code word" of the expert in Shelter No. 404 whispered in a low voice.

"I giao... Is this what that Lacy can say?"

Sisi also had a surprised expression on her face, and she also felt that these words were not something that a bandit-like guy could say.

After regaining her composure, she suggested cautiously.

"Actually...your Mr. Lacy is right, but why not put a screen on the window?"

Bella was stunned for a moment.

"...install a window screen?"

Sisi nodded and continued.

"Even in the Alliance, we do not have no supervision on silver coins. Even now, we are constantly improving the legislation in this area. You have just started. I don't recommend that you completely copy our practices, but you may wish to consider establishing one. A central government that formulates monetary policy directs more funds to flow to places where society needs it, rather than expecting the conscience of businessmen. These people have no concept of conscience. "

Mogavi didn't dare to do money laundering when he was in French Fries Port. After all, one fine would be enough to bankrupt him.

This guy is actually not a bad person and has done some good things. He is just greedy for money.

Bella looked at Sisi hesitantly.

"But... Mr. Liszt is still relatively good, and we all have a good impression of him."

Speaking of this, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something and added in a low voice.

"Ah, when we still have you... I think you are all good people, and you won't be like that guy, always trying to find ways to take advantage of our loopholes."

Hearing this innocent statement, Sisi couldn't help but put his forehead on his head and said helplessly.

"He has been trained by our management, and... with his asset size and status, there is no need to take risks. It might be different if someone else replaces him."

Like Brother Mosquito.

That guy just wants to make a living, even to a certain extent, not to make money at all.

Although this buddy is actually not a bad person, I can't say whether he will be a bad guy.

After thinking about it, there seemed to be some truth to what she said, and the expression on Bella's face gradually became serious, and she looked at her and said sincerely.

"I understand...Thank you for your suggestion. I will try my best to report it to my superiors."

Seeing her open-minded and studious look, Sisi couldn't help but smile and put forward the idea that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.

"We are just planning to expand the White Bear Knights' banking business here. Maybe we can provide you with some reference suggestions by then."

Bella's eyes lit up and she looked at her excitedly, almost standing up from the table.

"Really? Thank you so much!"

The look is so similar.

It's almost like the eyes of the wastelanders looking up at the Kaifengji when it first arrived in the suburbs of Qingquan City.

Si Si was filled with emotion for a while, and looked at her and continued.

"It's true...but before that, I want to know more about the local situation. If it's convenient, can you take us to a nearby city where locals live?"

Hearing this request, Bella's face showed a trace of hesitation, but she finally nodded.

"No problem... Although there is nothing to see there, it might disappoint you."
