Chapter 110

[mission: nomads from the wilderness]

[briefing: a group of unidentified nomads come from the north. No matter what purpose they take, we must be in strict readiness.]

[Note: players within 30m near the manager will automatically trigger the task, and they can enter the recruitment state by holding "weapons" and following the manager.]

[reward: 1 silver coin.]

……

Wetland Park North.

A group of refugees in rags stopped.

The strong man came to the front of the crowd, looked up in an unassuming way and looked at Chu Guang standing in front of the north gate of the wetland park.

"No offense, we just want to get some water from the lake."

It can be seen from the steps and respectful eyes of others that this person should be their leader.

Chu Guang glanced at the crowd behind him. There were about 60 or 70 people... Maybe 70 or 80 people, including some children and the elderly, pregnant women and even babies.

It's unlikely to be a predator.

In terms of property, these people have two cows, a bull, two calves, and eight camels carrying luggage and supplies.

For weapons, five guns can be seen. The rest are bows, arrows, shovel, axes, hoes and even sticks.

Only one charge is needed to break the mob, and these materials will undoubtedly be his booty.

The only question is whether to continue to be an individual.

Behind him are nearly 50 armed players.

Chu Guang did not order the attack, but looked at the refugees from afar.

"In front of you is my territory. You can continue south along the out of town elevated road, or leave here north."

There was a commotion in the crowd.

The man's face looked ugly.

"We need fresh water. Without water, our livestock will die of thirst."

"There is everything you need in the city, and there is snow everywhere. There are crabs on the East and south banks of Linghu lake. That's not a good place to get water."

"The water in the city is frozen, and we don't have enough fuel to melt the snow. As for split clawed crabs, they won't be more terrible than the monsters in the city."

The old man next to the man stepped forward, lowered his eyebrows and begged, "please show mercy. We won't disturb you."

If everyone told the truth, the world would not be what it is now.

The expression on Chu Guang's face was indifferent, weighing the gains and losses in his heart.

If these people are allowed to camp by the lake, it is difficult to say whether they can be driven away smoothly.

Perhaps their next step is to cut down trees and build camps, pile soil and refuse to build bases, and even pick up their relatives far away. Finally, there are more and more refugees, and the expelled become aborigines.

This kind of thing is not uncommon on the waste land, even quite common, and often ends in bloody conflict.

But from another angle

These people are labor force and can be engaged in positions that players are unwilling to do or lazy to do.

Moreover, they have rich hunting experience and knowledge of living on waste land, which may enable their players to learn some interesting things.

In general, opportunities outweigh risks.

Chu Guang raised his chin and looked at the man in front of him.

"I still say that the land in front of you is our territory. Every tree and even every piece of soil here is ours."

"But out of pity, now I give you two choices. Either accept our resettlement, abide by our laws and camp in the designated place."

"Either, get out of here."

The man looked at the soldiers with guns behind Chu Guang and said cautiously.

"I need to talk to my people."

Chu Guang nodded.

"I'll give you ten minutes."

In fact, it didn't take ten minutes.

Several refugees in rags gathered together. After some discussion, the man finally stood in front of Chu Guang again and presented his shotgun with both hands.

"We are willing to accept your placement."

Chu Guang didn't expect that he took the initiative to hand in his weapon.

But think about it.

After all, I have said that the park ahead is his territory. It's reasonable to enter other people's territory to ask for admission and surrender your gun.

Hunting bows and crossbows are allowed to remain.

Chu Guang placed the group 100 meters outside the east gate of the outpost base and set aside a land the size of a basketball court, allowing them to cut down the wood in the area and settle here.

With a trench, a wall and a buffer distance of 100 meters between the two sides, Chu Guang didn't worry about what storms they would set off.

Besides, there is Xiaoqi squatting on the roof.

I knew what was happening the first time.

"What's your name?"

The man answered in a heavy voice.

"Iron axe, my Lord."

"Iron axe?"

"Yes, sir, that's what my people call me. When I was six years old, I used an axe to break the predator's skull."

Chu Guang's expression is a little subtle.

"Your name is very unique, but it is not convenient for us to communicate, and it is easy to misunderstand. In this way, from now on, your last name is' Wu ', and' iron axe 'is your name, which is Wu tie axe."

Although it's still very tongue twister, it's not a problem to use it.

These nomads have no culture. They are better than the survivors in the settlement. They can't expect two limericks to pop out of their mouths.

If you give him too literary names, he may not understand what they mean.

"Thank you for your name. I'll be Wu tieaxe in the future!"

The burly man had no opinion about the name given to him by the adult in front of him, and even was flattered.

In the tradition of their tribe, only the parents can give names to the younger generation.

Now he and his party depend on others to live. The adult gave him a surname, which undoubtedly means a kind of acceptance and protection.

At least in his understanding, this is a good thing!

Seeing Wu tieax nodding, Chu Guang continued.

"Our law is very simple. It prohibits fighting, stealing, killing, coercion and intimidation. You are free to go to the lake to get water, but you must not interfere with the fishermen there. Except for your camp, the trees in the forest cannot be cut down without my consent. If you need wood, you can get it outside the park."

"In addition, the useful parts and metals collected from scavenging, as well as the prey or other useful things, can be exchanged in our warehouse."

"But remember, you can send someone to send the trading materials to our warehouse only from 6:00 to 7:00 every evening. You can't cross our gate at will in the rest of the time."

"I'll send my servant to you after the rest of the specific terms. Do your people have literacy?"

Wu tieax nodded quickly.

"Several old people in the family can do a little, and so can I."

"Very good," Chu Guang nodded as he looked at the tiger backed man. "You can learn when you have time. It's good for you."

……

After settling the refugees from other places, Chu Guang dismissed the recruited players and sent them a silver coin each to do their own work.

These refugees were also very honest. They didn't make trouble for Chu Guang. After delimiting the boundary, they cut down trees with axes and concentrated on camping there.

Chu Guang did not make strict requirements for the standards of their camp, but only emphasized the two aspects of health and security.

That is, do not urinate anywhere to provide a breeding ground for bacteria. All excreta shall be collected and transported to the designated place for dumping.

Chu Guang also asked for those survivors who lived in brick kilns.

In addition, the wall of the station shall not be higher than two meters. If a house is to be built in the future, the building shall not be higher than the east wall of the outpost base.

However, these rules are actually redundant for these refugees.

Don't mention the walls and toilets. They will be very satisfied if they can sleep in a place that doesn't leak air and don't freeze the children.

In this way, the two sides had a peaceful night.

Early the next morning, the group of refugees got out of the temporary shacks and continued to work.

The men took the guys to the lake to take water, shovel the well with their spades, carry the axe to cut down the trees, and use the collected materials to build the shack.

Women and the elderly stayed in the camp to take care of livestock, or mend clothes, repair damaged tools, set up large pots and prepare lunch.

The players watched curiously for a long time. Finally, they couldn't stand their curiosity and took the initiative to communicate with these aborigines.

At first, these Aborigines were still a little afraid, but later they gradually found that these people had no malice and gradually became less worried.

Although the two sides don't know the language, they can still understand each other's meaning with a few gestures.

For example, even monkeys can understand gestures - I want to change "this" for "that" with you.

Here's another episode.

Combined with the posts and messages on the official website, Chu Guang found a very interesting phenomenon in the process of secretly observing.

These players are actually smart.

After discovering that waste land ol did create a language, they mastered the two most basic nouns "you" and "I" very early.

Then there are high-frequency words such as "hyena", "dried meat", "wood", "prey" and "fish", which often appear in the task. It's not difficult to learn.

When some old players hear NPCs talk about it, they can guess what NPCs want to express.

As for the more difficult verbs, adjectives with less frequent occurrence, mood particles in special contexts, and more profound and obscure grammar, they are rarely used in daily communication. As for how to translate some pronunciation, the exquisite parties in the players have not reached a unified consensus.

In fact, it is a long process to fully master a strange language, which can not be solved by a "big man" writing a few papers out of nothing.

In particular, systematic mastery usually requires the two civilizations to reach a consensus on some objective things, behaviors and even more profound philosophical ideas in the long-term contact and exchange.

The more developed civilizations are at the material and spiritual levels, the broader the vocabulary and the more flexible and diverse the grammar.

Their language even contains many nouns, verbs and adjectives that low-level civilizations do not understand, and it is naturally more difficult to decipher.

However, just daily communication is not as difficult as expected.

Maybe in a few years or more, there may be players who can talk freely with aborigines without the help of translation tools... If someone is so boring, doesn't take CET-4 or CET-6 and comes to learn the bird language in the game.

Chu Guang hasn't decided whether to help them for the time being. He decides to take advantage of the sealing and testing stage to observe before making a decision.

After understanding the intention of these players to trade, these refugees also took out their good things.

They have dried meat, including hyena meat from hunting, beef and camel meat from slaughtering livestock.

In addition, they also have the fur of various animals, as well as some leather goods such as stone sling and scabbard made by themselves.

However, what surprised the players most was that these aborigines had such good things as milk and camel milk!

It's great to unlock two recipes at the same time!

"Brothers! You can exchange fur with these people! And milk and camel milk!"

"Three kilograms of croissants can be exchanged for one kilogram of air dried hyena meat!"

"A kilogram of croissant potato only needs 3 silver coins... Lying in the trough?! that is, 3 silver coins can be exchanged for a kilogram of air dried hyena meat! Buy it in the NPC warehouse, and you can buy 600g for 3 silver coins?!"

"Hyena meat for another ass! Haven't you eaten enough? Gan, I haven't eaten camel meat in reality. Wait until I go to the warehouse to change something and try the whole two pieces!"

"How much is this pot of camel milk... It smells fishy. Can you drink it?"

"Alpha 0.5 version is awesome! Planning father is invincible!!!"

"These aborigines also sell leather goods and iron products! But... I don't think the quality is very good."

The natives looked at the blue coats with a confused face.

Although I can't understand what they are saying, I feel that they seem very excited.

In that case, it's a little more expensive

Should it be all right?

……

Players quickly brought the news to the official website.

After a while, elder brother Fang, who never let people down, summed up a strategy.

It is the most cost-effective to exchange crude salt for air dried meat. 100 grams of crude salt can be exchanged for air dried meat made of one kilogram of hyena meat.

The former only needs 2 silver coins in NPC's warehouse, while the latter needs 5 silver coins in NPC's warehouse!

However, this method can only brush materials, which is not realistic to brush money.

First of all, the collection and sale price of NPC warehouse is different, and the collection and sale price difference of the same material can even reach 1:10.

In exchange for dried meat, you can either eat it yourself or sell it to other players at a low price. It is impossible to dump a large amount of warehouse cash.

In fact, it is impossible to sell to other players. Once the news is spread, there will be no information difference. It is naturally impossible to make money by using the information difference.

Who will be the wrongdoer?

Another unrealistic reason is that the price in the game is changed by the change of supply and demand.

Not long after brother Fang's post was sent out, the "bug" of brushing materials was repaired by an invisible big hand.

Later, another player took 100 grams of crude salt and wanted to find those aborigines who came all the way for meat, but the other party refused.

They are no longer short of salt. Eating is the first need. As for camel milk and milk, they still need to keep some to feed the babies in the village. At least they don't sell it now.

The only things that can be traded are fur, leather goods, and some simple and beautiful gadgets with no attribute bonus.

There are not many silver coins in the players' pockets, which is not enough to be wasted at will. Moreover, the leather goods and clothes made by these aborigines are not as beautiful as those made by rattan hut.

The "skin" without attributes is naturally more important than beauty!

The newly heated trading boom has come to an end for the time being.
