Chapter 144

After hanging up Li De's phone, Chu Guang felt that he was really not easy.

Neighbors from afar are marching westward for great ideals. Their faces are not only filled with the light of civilized people's self-confidence and belief, but also materially fat. They can eat one bowl and pour one bowl for three meals a day.

On my side, I not only have to plan every material carefully, but also find a way to coax players with limited materials.

Even if life is tight and he occasionally gets good things, he will take them to boost everyone's morale.

It's all here. On the forum, there are children thinking about his two bricks for building walls and analyzing how to prevent "middlemen" from making a price difference.

Doesn't it hurt to touch your conscience?

The weak have no choice. In fact, Chu Guang knows very well that even with a shelter as a chip, there is little room for negotiation between himself and the people on the pioneer.

In particular, Li De is much more difficult to deceive than their captain Lu, and the bottom line is more elusive. He doesn't give him an opportunity at all.

But there's no way. Chu Guang has no choice.

It's rare to meet a group of local tyrants on an outing. Coincidentally, these people admit that they have the blue coat on them. Even if it's hard to collect the wool, he has to go to collect it.

After all, friends come this time. What if jackals come next time?

At that time, even if you can't win, you can only fight hard.

Not surprisingly, today's labor force should be able to change to 1200cr. With the meal allowance of 600cr, it adds up to 1800cr, which can be changed to 6 assault rifles.

These people were very kind. They said it was 600cr all day. Even if they didn't eat breakfast there, they gave him the money.

After the cooperation, the weapons store will update some new equipment in the 300 silver coin and 400 silver coin positions, including automatic rifles and submachine guns, as well as modified sights, which can just update the equipment for players who have been upgraded to level 6 ~ 8.

For a better tomorrow and a new version.

I hope his little players will work hard!

……

Before talking to Li De on the phone, Chu Guang, with two small players of the perception system, found the signal tower mentioned in the guard diary and the blood hand diary near the mutant's nest and found that the equipment just tripped. Although the parts are aging, they are not completely broken.

With half of the power left in the standby power supply, he pulled the switch back without saying a word, and the signal tower immediately restored power supply.

Looking at the signal that the VM was full again, Chu Guang smiled.

The signal coverage has been directly expanded to 10 kilometers away, and now the whole northern suburb of Qingquan city has been covered.

Now his small players don't have to worry about the bad VM signal anymore.

As long as they are not buried under the ruins or go too far, they can master their situation anytime and anywhere and release tasks to them.

splendid.

After the phone call with Li De, Chu Guang then borrowed the office phone to contact old Luca.

Old Luca on the other end of the phone respectfully reported today's situation to him.

"Sir, I bought 100kg of potatoes, 100kg of corn, and some salt, soy sauce, pepper and other condiments with 600cr meal as you ordered. However, Li Degang just told me that if they use their car to transport things for us, they will charge us 1Cr per 100kg..."

good heavens.

It's a little emotional.

Chu Guang smiled and said, "it's all right. We don't need their car."

The outpost base now has 10 caravans and hundreds of power players. Isn't it easy to pull dozens of tons of goods back?

The shift changes every three days. When the people here pass, the people over there just pull back the materials.

As for the materials changed today, they are mainly used as food for players.

Although they brought some croissants, green wheat and dried meat at the bottom of the warehouse, the food was enough for a few days and could not eat for long. There will be players changing shifts with them, so there will be no need to bring dry food.

Luca: "my Lord, I found that starch... Seems cheaper? 1Cr can be changed for a kilogram. It feels like it can be eaten."

Chu Guang sighed and said, "if you only eat carbon water, you can't pull it out. That thing isn't for dinner."

Old Luca didn't quite understand. In his idea, it was a blessing to be full, but it didn't matter what he ate. However, since the master said so, he could not talk back.

"Yes... By the way, my Lord, I noticed that those people from the East seemed very interested in what we ate and were even willing to pay for it."

"Oh?" Chu Guang asked with interest, "did they come here to buy food?"

Luca nodded.

"Yes. I'm not sure how much I should sell them, but I didn't want to get into trouble, so I gave them a share of mutton horn, potato paste and fish soup. I charged 1Cr for each."

Chu Guang touched his chin and said.

"Let's estimate the cost of a share... If you don't calculate labor but only materials."

Luca: "it's not expensive. It's only two or three copper coins for mutton horn potato paste. The fish soup is cheaper, just two copper coins. But we're almost finished with the fish we brought. It's estimated that we'll cook other dishes tomorrow."

"If those people come back tomorrow, you will sell 2Cr and 4CR price packages with them. 2Cr has 200g mashed potatoes, and 4CR has meat dishes in addition to mashed potatoes... Forget it, I still don't know the menu. You let the life professional players who cook dishes study what to eat every day, and I will send them tasks later. Anyway, you will price according to the two standards I said 。”

Luca said respectfully.

"Yes, sir."

Official website:

[Xiaoyu kindly reminds you: because the administrator has repaired the antenna of the shelter, the signal coverage of the outpost has been expanded to 10 kilometers now.]

[today's recommended menu: Meat flavored mashed potatoes and stewed fish soup with pine nuts.]

Every time we go offline, the forum is very busy.

Fang: "as like as two peas," I came back! First, I said the conclusion is that the new area of the release is almost identical with that shown in CG.

Leave someone under the knife: "yes, I testify! Other games are looking for the same real game picture and publicity picture, but here is looking for the difference between the two... The key is that I can't find it yet! Can you understand the feeling of entering the game CG?"

Mole at large in the canyon: "Gan! I don't understand!!! I also want to move bricks to the new map. Woo woo. T.T."

Lao Bai: "it's interesting to move bricks with high technology. It's a little better than moving bricks near the outpost. (show your teeth)"

Battlefield atmosphere group: "brother, tell me! What's the process over there?"

Fang Chang: "let me tell you. First, we followed the pioneers to the operation camp they built for us, lived in the small single room on the upper and lower floors of the construction site, and then brother scrambled eggs cooked us a lunch for a long time. There's nothing to say. The point is in the afternoon! We followed two power armor to the abandoned town in the North!"

Square length: "It is probably similar to the urban-rural fringe. The building density is lower than that near Linghu Wetland Park. It is mainly composed of a large number of single family houses and a small number of high-rise buildings. We went nearly 800 meters into the urban area and came to an abandoned community hospital. Here is a brand-new map! We had never been so far before when we scavenged ！”

Fang Chang: "there is thick ash on the floor of the hospital. I explored it briefly on the first floor and found that it has been searched, and it has been searched more than once. I'm not sure if there are other survivors nearby. Our 'construction site' is in the parking lot on the first floor underground, where there are a large number of well preserved car wrecks and the bodies of gnawing people!"

Chief Fang: "I guess a battle broke out here before! Unfortunately, the battle was over when we arrived. Two power armor patrolled the parking lot with two mechanical dogs, and our job is to use the cutting machine they distributed to us to disassemble the valuable parts of waste vehicles!"

Square length: "The whole process is quite decompressed, and the construction efficiency is much simpler than dismantling the car with an axe and saw! We roughly press the removed doors, engine covers and other parts with a manual hydraulic press, and then drag them to the heavy truck parked at the entrance of the urban area. There are NPC engineers on board, who operate more professional equipment to carry out secondary hydraulic pressure on the garbage, and then press them into metal blocks Load the garbage into the truck. "

Fang Chang: "by the way, the NPC there will weigh the garbage, and then the collection volume will be counted in the VM's taskbar. If you calculate 100 kg, you can exchange it for 1 silver coin."

Fairy Wang Fugui: "wait, isn't that a good loss? The garbage collection task in the outpost base is also at this price. I remember it's 100 kg of scrap steel and 1 silver coin."

Lao Bai: "it's different. For the garbage collection task at the outpost, you have to pick up the garbage from outside the wetland park. It's at least one kilometer out of the park alone. It's even more troublesome to go to the underground parking lot in the residential area. Regardless of how far the transportation distance is, there are often sneak attacks by gnaws."

Fang Chang: "yes, and our base doesn't have that kind of cutter. It takes a lot of time to remove the door and hood. In addition, there are activity reward points for this task, about 100 kg and 1 point."

Night 10: "power is an epic enhancement of players! In other words, I found a funny thing. When I squatted in the camp with the mosquito man for lunch, NPC came to exchange instant noodles for lunch with us. (funny)"

Roller shampoo: "shit?! so smart?"

Lao Wang next door: "what's the taste of NPC's instant noodles? Is it delicious?"

Night 10: "it's delicious to eat a hammer. The whole thing is stewed in boiling water. A packet of vegetables is mixed with some noodles. I feel numb. But it's OK to eat fresh. They're not very hungry. Anyway, I'm hungry at 4 p.m. (funny)"

WC really mosquitoes: "this must make complaints about the NPC on the Trail Blazers, and live in the hot water, and can not afford a decent hot meal."

Irene: you two can eat too much. You're a real loser. (funny)

Scrambled egg with tomato: "as soon as brother Yeshi said this, I remembered that there seemed to be NPC of the pioneer coming to us for dinner tonight? I think old Luca took their money and one person took a piece of paper. I don't know how much it is."

Debt big eye: "!? the answer is the cook?"

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "what's the matter? The money is not for me. (white eyes)"

Makabazi: "but what's the use of that piece of paper? Can you buy something? I don't see an NPC store that collects it."

Night 10: "I don't know. It seems that boss crow has one at present. I don't know if she has figured it out. Why don't you ask her another day? (funny)"

Irene: "crow boss: are you polite? (funny)"

……

The north gate of the outpost.

Looking at the market, the crows who stewed mushroom soup sighed.

This was the third time she sighed in an hour.

Usually at this time, her booth was already crowded. Today, everyone went to the new map to open up wasteland. There are more sellers than buyers in the market.

Just now, there were two small players chatting, and the topics became "there are so few people in the market today", "let's go to the forum to replenish water!" and "let's go!".

And then

They really left.

The crow suddenly felt that the annoying people who shouted to buy Mufeng mushrooms, to see her stew in an iron pot, and begged her to hit themselves with mushrooms were not so annoying.

"It's so cold today..."

Why don't you close the stall?

It's OK to do tasks. It's boring to set up stalls with too few people.

Why don't you go to the official website to watch sand sculpture and boast.

At this point, it will dawn in reality. Many people are offline. It is estimated that there are a lively group on the official website.

Those leaders who go to the new map to open up wasteland should also have made the strategy. It is estimated that they can see some interesting things.

Just when the crow just thought so, a pair of clear big eyes, I don't know when they came to the stall, looked at the pot curiously and blinked.

There were mushrooms, venison and some herbs floating in the pot, which gave off a good smell. Autumn leaves swallowed their saliva and their eyes were full of longing.

Looking at the first little guest today in surprise, crow crow quickly said hello.

"Would you like a bowl?"

Qiu Ye's face turned red. She was embarrassed, nodded, shook her head, and said with nonstandard pronunciation.

"No, it's used."

Eh?

The expression on crow's face was even more surprised, like discovering a new world.

This NPC can talk!

Seize the opportunity, she hurriedly continued.

"Today's mushroom soup is 50% off. Do you want to buy a bowl?"

Autumn leaves blinked, this sentence did not understand.

She doesn't know many words. She learned them when she set up a stall with her sister.

Those blue coats always say difficult words, but some words with high frequency can still guess the meaning with body language.

This kind of communication is a bit like other nomads they met on their journey.

Some people from far, far away, although they seem to speak the same language as them, they still sound very different.

You have to rely on intuition.

The crow picked up the wooden bowl and filled the little girl with a bowl of hot mushroom soup. With a sweet smile on his face, he said softly.

"Forget it. Anyway, there are no guests today. For your lovely sake, this bowl will be treated as your sister's invitation."

"Drink while it's hot."

Looking at the bowl that was suddenly stuffed into her hand, the little girl looked at a loss. Her worried expression was like she had done something bad.

When the man was in a hurry, he jumped out a few more words.

She said with her mouth open.

"I, I have no money..."

The crow smiled gently, stretched out an index finger, shook it gently, and said in broken game language and Mandarin.

"No money, I'll treat you."

This time, the little girl seemed to understand that this bowl of mushroom soup was free, but her face was still embarrassed.

Looking at the steaming soup in her hand, she finally couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, picked up the bowl, blew it, and gulped it up.

Watching the guests gulping soup, crow's face showed a motherly smile.

Sure enough.

Compared to silver coins or something.

This is the satisfaction you pursue.

"Drink slowly. Would you like another bowl? My sister will add more meat to you."

After drinking the soup, she put down the bowl in her hand. Qiuye looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, the little girl searched in her pocket and secretly put a necklace on the table.

There are some beautiful stones hanging on it.

"This is the amulet I picked up on the journey and made... Here you are."

Leaving this incomprehensible sentence and the hand-made necklace, the little girl turned and ran away without waiting for the crow to continue to make soup.

The crow was slightly stunned, put down the spoon and picked up the necklace on the table.

Well

Mission props?

It seems that there is no attribute added. No matter how you look at it, it is just ordinary quartz.

However, crow crow happily took down the necklace.

At this time, a strange guest came to the market at the north gate.

The guest had a furtive expression on his face. After entering the market, he looked around as if he were looking for something.

When he saw the stall selling mushroom soup, his eyes lit up. He came over and pointed to the pot, then pulled open his wallet, took out a note and patted it on the table.

"I want to buy a bowl. How much is it?"

Why are all NPC's here today.

Take a closer look, it seems to be the Quartermaster of the office?

Looking at the 100cr note on the table and listening to the tone that I don't understand at all, crow crow couldn't cry or laugh.

What ghost duck?

Are you here to buy a whole pot again?

When the crow was at a loss, a great figure suddenly appeared next to her stall and solved the siege for her.

"Ha ha, my friend, I've been looking for you for a long time. So you're here! I just used your phone. By the way, you can't spend money with this kind of paper. We have to use a special coin here. This pot of soup will be my treat."

He gently took the note on the table and Chu Guang scratched it on the VM with his index finger.

Listening to his VM "Ding", the crow quickly raised his arm and looked at it. Then he was surprised, as if he could put a goose egg in his mouth.

100 silver???

Ah, this!

Too much?!

Looking at Chu Guang who put away the paper money, Luo Hua was stunned.

Wait a minute

Didn't you agree to invite me?

Give me the money back.

"You haven't eaten yet? Come with me. I've prepared good wine and dishes," Chu Guang said as he brought the whole pot of mushroom soup.

It smells good.

The wine should fill this guy two more bottles.

"Wine? Do you have wine here?" Luo Hua was surprised and immediately forgot about the money.

Chu Guang looked at him strangely.

"Didn't you?"

Luo Hua looked a little embarrassed and said with a smile.

"We have alcohol, but it's impossible to drink alcohol? And the captain won't let us drink, saying that drinking will delay things..."

Chu Guang was thoughtful.

"Didn't I violate your discipline by inviting you to drink..."

Luo Hua took a quick look around. Seeing that the people in the way were not there, she quickly waved her hand and said.

"It's all right. I'd like to have two drinks with you. This is also a part of official business!"

Looking at the impatient expression on his face, Chu Guangxin smiled and patted his not strong shoulder.

"My friend, how can this be called for official business? It's time to get off work. It should be said... Let's drink to friendship!"

Luo Hua beamed and nodded.

"Yes, yes, let's drink to friendship!"

Looking at the two men walking away, the ignorant crow finally recovered from the shock of 100 silver coins and bounced up from the chair.

"Wait, wait!"

"Manager, I have another duck!!!"
