Chapter 97

Chu Guang had a long, long dream.

This time, I didn't work until I was hit by a mud truck, but dreamed that I had opened a civilization 6, and it was an enhanced marathon once a year.

When he started to develop from the primitive society, he sent scouts to step on the village crazily and climb along the science and technology tree... After climbing for thousands of rounds, he finally killed several God AI and pointed out the victory of science and technology.

But when I opened my eyes, there was nothing.

"Gan! At least wait until I finish my dream!"

Not surprisingly, if you continue to do it, it is probably civilized space?

He stretched out and sat up from the bed, and his bones crackled.

Chu Guang felt a move in his heart. He immediately went to the residents' hall next door, found the physical examination equipment and gave himself a full body examination.

As he expected, he was promoted!

"Sure enough, sleep can grow your body."

Good children have to go to bed early.

After sitting in front of the computer to confirm the electronic physical examination report, Chu Guang dragged it into the folder for archiving, stood up and moved his lower arm.

With 220% of the basic strength of normal adult men and the improvement of the attribute of "wild instinct", Chu Guang feels that he is now brave.

"It's time to go out and get something to eat."

Yes, and divide the spoils to the players.

Thinking of this, Chu Guang hummed a little song and walked into the buffer room, put on the exoskeleton there, and hung the big hammer behind him.

When everything was ready, we stepped on the elevator to the surface.

At 5:30 p.m. waste time, this is the busiest time in the outpost.

In particular, the market at the north gate was crowded with players returning from scavenging.

Although snow was falling again in the sky, it did not affect the lively atmosphere here.

Now players have formed the habit of putting up a stall at the north gate for the garbage they pick up or the booty they get from hunting. No one buys it before they send it to the warehouse to hand in the materials.

With this operation, you can earn two copper coins more than before, and those players with shopping needs will come here before going to the NPC store.

"I don't know whether they are cold or strong. One tenth of them died yesterday, but none of them mourned for the dead, not even a decent funeral." standing at the north gate, Lena looked at the blue coats in surprise.

She found a sad expression on their faces.

"Indifference and strength do not conflict. The world has become like this. If you are not strong, you have to be defeated by yourself before being defeated by others."

Hain was also the first time to see such a blue coat, but he had seen many strange things, so he was only surprised.

Anything existing must be reasonable.

Moreover, from another angle, if they are the kind of weak people who indulge in sadness, I'm afraid there are another group of people standing here.

Attracted by a nearby stall, Hain stepped forward, looked at the cracked clawed crab legs on the iron shelf for a while, and asked curiously.

"How much is this?"

The crow looked up at the NPC.

Although I didn't understand what he said, I can probably guess from his gestures that he wanted to buy his own roast crab legs.

The crow shook his index finger.

"A small silver coin."

She hasn't figured out how much to sell. She plans to think about it again. After all, it's not cheap to buy it from the warehouse.

A chip?

The survivors' settlements in Qingquan city seem to trade with chips.

"Two."

Hain gestured two fingers, then took out two chips from his pocket and threw them on the crow's outstretched hand.

However, when crow saw the chips, he shook his head, anxiously took out two silver coins and shook them in front of him.

Hain and Lena looked confused.

They have been to so many places that they have never seen such metal coins.

Seeing that they didn't respond, crow sighed helplessly and reached out to pick up two chips.

"Two plastic pieces can only be used as a silver coin."

Then she touched two chips and a silver coin to mean equality. Then he took out a roasted crab leg and handed it to Hain standing in front of the booth.

Two chips and a roast crab leg?!

Are you crazy!

The bigger one doesn't matter. This small crab leg is obviously only two or three kilograms. I'm afraid the crab meat in it is less than one pound.

Hain's eyebrows and corners of his mouth twitched, but it was hard to say anything.

After all, I now depend on others. It's better to avoid conflict.

Gan!

It still hurts!

In this rural area, 2-point chips can buy a lot of supplies!

Hain didn't want to buy a second one, but he looked at his companion and said politely.

"Would you like some?"

Lena didn't talk nonsense. She caught half with her left hand and threw out a machete with her right hand. She neatly divided the crab legs into two sections and shook half of her hand.

"This belongs to me."

“……”

Accustomed to this guy's rudeness, Hain shook his head without saying anything and bit the soft, fragrant and tender crab meat.

Um.

Don't say, it's delicious.

The food sold at the roadside stall didn't put any seasoning. It was still far from the meal Chu Guang invited him to eat the day before yesterday.

And it doesn't feel very fresh

After eating the crab meat, Lena licked the juice from the corners of her mouth, looked at the people in the market at the north gate, and suddenly spoke coldly.

"What do you think of their strength?"

Hain thought for a moment and gave a pertinent evaluation.

"Very strong. These people are much better than the blue coat I've seen, both in psychological quality and in all aspects."

"Especially their leaders, I'm afraid they've reached the edge of awakening... I don't understand. They're not barbarians who worship force. It's the first time I've seen a leader of one force practice himself to awakening. Isn't it uncomfortable to lie on his lap and command?"

Speaking of half of hain, he suddenly noticed the intriguing expression on Lena's face and hesitated for a moment.

"What do you want?"

"It's not you anyway," Lena said bluntly, shaking her hair. "I like strong males."

Hain glanced at her with derision, and then at the big girl with roast crab legs in the stall next to her.

"Look, even she's baking crabs. I don't think that man can see you."

Aware of Lena's bad eyes, Hain shrugged weakly, said he was not her opponent, made a gesture of surrender and left.

Just as they were talking, Chu Guang with a sledgehammer on his back came out of the north gate.

As soon as the players saw the manager, they immediately surrounded him with bright eyes.

spoils!

Contribute!

And liking!

Without waiting for the players to be attentive, Chu Guang raised his right fist and made a collective gesture like a real NPC.

Then he announced in a sonorous voice.

"Divide the spoils!"

"I won't repeat the old rules."

When he reached the cart piled with booty, Chu Guang picked up a rifled Double Barrel Shotgun and began the work of NPC——

Identify the equipment!

"... this is an 18mm caliber double barreled shotgun. Its owner is the bear, the leader of the bloody hand clan. Although he did evil all his life and lived up to his death, and was finally sent to hell by the hammer of justice, their weapons are innocent. There is a bear engraved on the butt of the wooden gun. The words may have been wrong, but it doesn't matter. The predators have no culture."

"Now start bidding. The starting price is 40 silver coins, and the top price is 80 silver -"

The mosquito took the lead and raised his hand before he finished his speech.

"80 silver!"

Chuguang: "...?"

The players who are ready to go around swear.

"Gan!"

"This guy again!"

"Too fast, too fast!"

Chu Guang will not be corrected.

Originally, he thought that the broken gun had nothing to recommend except that the barrel was made of good steel, so he casually shouted a low price.

Can this be controlled for seconds?

But looking at the regretful expressions on the players' faces, he understood for a moment.

"Gee, careless... Boss's equipment is valuable for collection."

What's that again?

It's a weapon with a name anyway!

In his heart, he said hastily, but Chu Guang didn't take it too seriously.

He is an informal man.

Besides, there are five weapons of the centurion here. I'll arrange an exaggerated legend for those cattle and horses later. Can't I sell more?

It's robbing the rich and helping the poor.

The pace of the auction was very fast, and all 50 main weapons were completed in half an hour.

The rest of the small pieces, 1 silver coin and 1 silver coin, are randomly selected, and the rest are all counted according to 1 copper coin, and then pulled to the warehouse to sort slowly.

50 pieces of equipment, 20 pieces of streaming photos, and 30 pieces sold a total of 971 silver. It is still the old rule to deduct 10% of the transaction tax to get 873.9 silver coins and erase the change of 873 silver!

In addition, the 29 prisoners also counted 5 silver coins per person according to the group war reward rules, which converted to a total of 145 silver.

Plus the rewards for 21 predator veterans killed in the battle, 5 Predator captains, 1 boss predator, and a series of copy branches such as strategic strongholds and rescuing prisoners, the total reward actually reached 4371 silver coins!

In contrast, the funds raised at the auction are small.

All 82 players can get at least 50 silver coins, and many can get 55 or even 60!

I got rich overnight!

In addition to the booty reward, there is a special pension paid by the manager for the players killed in the battle.

However, the amount of pension is not high. Taking the gene sequence LV1 as an example, each level is subsidized with 1 silver coin a day, and you can get almost 3 silver coins in three days.

Lv2 is 6 silver, LV3 is 9 silver, and so on.

Money is not much, but it's better to have it than not. After three days, I'm a hero again!

"Long live the manager!"

"Cool! I have a gun now, ha ha ha!"

"Woo woo, 41 silver coins! I've never been so rich!"

"Hurry to buy something!"

The combat professional players cheered for a while, holding the silver coins personally issued by Chu Guang, they spent happily.

The 8 occupation game player who didn't fight was watching and crying. He knew the reward was so high, and he was carrying a shovel stick together.

The crow secretly marked the big crab leg with a "sky high price" of 3 silver coins. It couldn't be sold just now. It should be sold now.

Standing next to the onlookers, Lena and Hain looked confused and forced. It took a while to swallow their saliva and communicate in a low voice.

"What are they doing?"

"It seems to be an auction."

"I don't understand. Why should they spend money to buy their own booty? Shouldn't it be who picked it up and return it to who?"

"I can't understand it, but I'm shocked."

Hain suddenly had a new understanding of the young ruler. Although he did not know what methods or spells he used, he had played the art of power to the extreme.

There is nothing commendable about having a farmer present his harvest. After all, everyone will load his rifle.

But if a group of farmers are willing, even grateful, to give money in their hands and buy back their harvest

I'm afraid only demons have this ability.

In any case, Hain has raised his evaluation and opinion of the same person twice in a day.

However, Chu Guang, who was scored by him in his heart, no matter how others evaluate himself.

Compared with Kelly from heaven, Chu Guang feels that he is already a good man. At least he won't pit players' wallets or fool them with hidden explosion rates.

Does anyone really think that more money can make players happy?

Most people who think so play too few games. They have never seen a game that often throws hundreds of billions of gold coins. Finally, only fresh little leeks are cool and filled with a wave, while those serious game players feel that they are a donkey.

Yes, Chu Guang has been trapped more than once, so he is very careful in designing the economic system of waste soil ol.

He knows very well that unlike those real dog planners, he can randomly develop some "God clothes" to absorb the super issued currency, and then brush a pile of boss with overflow value to stimulate the player krypton gold.

In the cheers of the players, Chu Guang waved, passed through the north gate, returned to the nursing home, and took the elevator to the underground.

The elevator leading to the B2 floor is in the residential hall on the B1 floor. It is still locked and can only be opened in a few hours.

While he still had some free time, Chu Guang sat in front of the computer and updated the information sorted out from the blood hand diary in the setting set of the official website for those cloud players and fun people to imagine freely.

Then Chu Guang took materials from the forum for a while. Like reviewing memorials, he looked over the posts he didn't have time to read last night.

Some of these ideas are really good. You can consider adding them to the alpha 0.5 package.

Time passed minute by minute and finally waited until two o'clock in the morning.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Guang stretched and sat up from the chair, put on his exoskeleton suit again, and put on a sledgehammer on his back.

Although the possibility of the first generation of managers harming themselves is only one in ten thousand, it's better to be careful.

"Xiao Qi, I'm going down."

Xiao Qi, who has returned to the corner to charge, raised the camera and took a clever place.

"Well, I see, master, be careful."

Chu Guang, who was about to stand on the elevator, stopped and glanced back at the wastebasket.

"What do you mean by being careful? Do you mean there's something down there? Or do you know something?"

Silly by this series of questions, Xiao Qi stuck for a long time before he said in a daze.

"I don't know... Probably not?"

"Then why did you let me be careful?"

"Ah?! well, that's just the daily language stored in the language area..."

Uh.

And this setting?

"... you come with me."

Looking at Xiao Qi who shut his mouth and rolled to his legs, Chu Guang safely stood on the elevator to the B2 floor.

Not exactly.

This is purely out of caution.

With Chu Guang's front foot stepping in, the buttons B1 and B2 and the [authorized] dialog box immediately appeared on the originally dark touch screen.

Chu Guang did not hesitate to stretch out his index finger and press B2.

The door closed lightly. With the slight sinking of the elevator, the door opened again in less than three seconds, and a dry and fresh air rushed through the crack of the door.

There is even a refreshing fragrance in it.

"... air fresheners?"

Chu Guang looked strange and glanced at the little girl next to him.

"Go and explore the way."

"OK..."

The voice sounded weak and even wronged.

But Xiao Qi still listened to his master and rolled forward on the wheel.

Holding the hammer handle behind him in his right hand, Chu Guang walked steadily forward and cautiously stepped into the field that was said to have been left untouched for more than a century.

The floor here is very clean without any dust. You can't hear a creak when stepping on it.

Not only the floor, but also the surroundings are so brand-new that we can't even find a trace of people living there.

The elevator is located in the center of the circular hall, which is like the stage of the circular theater. The space is more spacious than the residential hall on the B1 floor.

There are four gates in the southeast and northwest of the hall, and behind the gate is a straight main road and four fan-shaped areas divided by the main road.

There are controllable alloy doors between adjacent zones, which are opened by default at ordinary times. If necessary, the gate can be dropped to isolate the zone as a whole.

Area a is a functional area, and the facilities inside seem very complex. Chu Guang plans to stay behind to explore.

As for the structure of BCD area, it is very simple. You can guess from the plan posted at the entrance that this is a residential area.

The dense doors and numbers are like pigeon cages, which fill the whole corridor. It is roughly estimated that the area of each room is only 4 ~ 5 square meters, which is enough to put a training cabin and a table, less than half of the area of B1 floor.

"Does this place really live?"

Chu Guang, who was walking in area C, opened a room and found that there was a culture cabin in it. There was nothing else.

ok

No problem.

Maybe this is not a place to live.

"... the room is a little small, but the standard room has been changed among the four people. It can be regarded as worrying about the privacy of players."

There are 200 rooms in each zone, of which the rooms in the CD zone are equipped with incubators, totaling 400.

The population limit of the shelter has been directly raised from 100 to 500, which is undoubtedly good news for Chu Guang, who is in urgent need of labor.

So many pits, enough for several versions!

The only pity is that there may not be so many people in winter.

But it doesn't matter. There will be a place for spring ploughing!

As for area B, it is a very common configuration. There is a bed and a foldable table in each room, not even a stool.

"People should live here."

Chu Guang thought in his heart, but he searched all the rooms and couldn't find a personal item left behind.

Including the supporting bedding, they are all folded neatly, like tofu pieces. Even if measured with a ruler, it can't measure an error of one millimeter.

"... if someone had lived here, it would be very clean."

As for?

It's like destroying criminal evidence.

When Chu Guanggang thought so, he was slightly stunned when he came to the last room on the main road in area B.

Not only did he stop, but Xiao Qi rolling in front also stopped.

"Master, there seems to be something on the ground."

"I see."

That's a card. It looks like something like an ID card.

The card fell in front of the room at the end of the corridor and just below the door handle... The hook was straight and looked like it was deliberately left there.

Chu Guang went forward and picked up the card.

The light on the top seam of the aisle sprinkles on the white card. Along the hexagonal pattern, you can see the metallic luster, but you can't identify what material it is made of.

There are no photos or names on the card, only two words that don't know whether they are occupation or code are printed on it——

"... guards?"

Chu Guang seems to understand something.
