Chapter 253

Later, the party went to the weapons store and finally saw the exoskeleton they were thinking about.

However

Night ten "KV-1 sells for 600 chips?! shit, it's so expensive!"

Feng Feng: "how much was Lao Bai's previous suit?"

Lao Bai thought and replied.

"Five hundred silver coins, steel plate should account for half of the price. If only KV-1 is counted, it is about two or three hundred?"

Although it was the price several versions ago, and it was obtained by auction.

People were filled with the emotion when they thought of the starting price of the 200 silver coins.

Or the manager is kind.

Compared with the owner Xia of the weapons store, it's too kind!

……

I can't afford to buy such an expensive thing. I can only satisfy my greed.

Of course, the people did not forget the purpose of their trip.

After some negotiation, the manager entrusted them with the ld-47 sickle assault rifle, which was finally traded at the price of 70 chips.

This is the price after their efforts.

The gun shop owner of the new map, boss Bixia, has too much bad temper and is not interested in their weapons at all.

And not just one.

Although the bullets in Boulder City also have 7mm, they are completely different in length, and the structure of the primer cap is also different. Even if the caliber is the same, they are not universal.

The price of drone assault rifle in Boulder City is 150, and the ex factory price may be less than three digits, up to 90.

It is a wrong choice to sell weapons here. Stonehenge military industry is much better than them who have only developed for one winter in terms of cost and technology.

Unless they find another way and work elsewhere.

Looking at the shelves of the store, he muttered at night.

"Shit, they sell mortars?"

And the price is not expensive.

For the style that is a little longer than the rifle, with 60 caliber and a shooting distance of less than three kilometers, you only need the price of a set of KV-1?

Old Baihuan glanced at the shelves.

"There are no shells here."

Fang Chang: "there are shells, but they should be picked up outside the city. I remember that more than how many grams of explosives are prohibited... Let's go. We can't afford any."

Lao Bai sighed.

"Too hard, too hard."

I wonder if bricks can sell here?

Their cattle and horse brick factory is just this specialty.

Night ten hey hey smile.

"Why don't we go to the factory to make screws?"

Lao Bai is a power department!

Screw must be fierce!

Fang Chang rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"The daily salary is 2 ~ 3 chips. One month is not enough for you to buy a gun. I advise you to save it."

A sickle can sell for 70 chips. In fact, it's good. Anyway, the cost of raw materials is less than 15 silver coins. No matter how high other costs are, they should not exceed this figure.

No matter how small, mosquitoes are meat.

Although the money has nothing to do with them. The chips sold belong to task props, the final reward will be settled with silver coins and contribution points according to how many chips they sold.

Can you black yourself?

Certainly.

As we all know, the way to get rich is written in the criminal law. Some people always think that others are fools.

But they are not.

The big bird vodka with scrambled eggs and tomatoes was sold to the drunkard at the gate of the tavern at the price of 10 chips.

All four felt that they had lost. After all, the bottle of wine was a kilo.

To brew so much wine, you need at least three kilograms of potatoes. You need at least three silver coins. You can get five when you're expensive.

Equivalent to not making money!

The night ten with chips wanted to go into the bar. It seemed that someone was wearing very little, but before his front foot crossed the door, he was held by the square leader.

Said the wind.

"Don't miss the point."

Night ten: "Gan! Aren't you curious? Let me see!"

Shouldn't we come to this kind of place to investigate the first thing about land reclamation on the new map?

How dare you say you know the local customs here!

As we all know, whether online games or stand-alone, pubs are the information distribution center in RPG Games.

This is common sense!

The mayor coughed: "I came some time ago... The lowest ticket for a pub with people dancing is 2 chips, which is equivalent to buying a glass of wine when you enter the door."

Night 10: "shit! You guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes have been there! Why don't you write it in the strategy

Fang Chang's eyes floated to him again.

"I can't write everything."

Lao Bai patted Yeshi's shoulder and said with a consolation.

"Wait until you make money. I'm afraid these chips in your pocket are not enough for you to drink."

That's true.

It's ten o'clock in the night.

Boss crow's mushrooms were finally collected by the grocery store.

Apart from the few blue mushrooms she stole from the leech nest, the other mushrooms that looked delicious failed to sell for much money.

Looking at a bag of chips in their hands, the four small players looked worried.

"Not enough."

Deduct 70 chips from the task props and earn 540 chips today, most of which are contributed by boss crow.

They have 270 chips at their disposal.

But then again, those blue umbrella mushrooms are really valuable. They are actually sold by gram! And 4 grams can be exchanged for a chip!

It's just a pity that this thing is too rare.

Before winter came, boss crow had squashed it all, but there seemed to be some left in NPC's warehouse.

Now leech nests are used as bait for fishermen. The blue pili on the wall may not be able to recover its lush appearance in a short time.

……

That night.

The four slept on the floor on the second floor of the office and went to the forum together after going offline.

Under the expectation of countless players and cloud players, the founder updated all the knowledge of today in his post.

Works of art including rattan are on consignment.

Including boss crow's mushrooms sold for a lot of money.

Everyone's things sold how much money, they also write clearly and plainly.

It's disgusting to hack other people's equipment and game coins. All players with some quality disdain to do it, and everyone believes in them.

Only Professor Yang, the king of thunder and lightning law, speculated for a long time and said that it was impossible to sell only so much. I'm afraid there was something strange, but no one paid attention to him at all.

The attention of all players was attracted by the rich freedom and explorable content of the new map.

What is a virtual world!

Is that good?

The northern suburbs are completely wilderness for survival!

Even across the screen, Fang Chang can feel that many people's envious eyes shine.

Tail: "can I open a mercenary guild! ✪ ω ✪)！”

Fang Chang: "Er, this is an unimaginable road. You can have a try."

WC really has mosquitoes: "wait! Where's my grenade? Nobody bought it!? (ﾟ Д ﾟ#)”

Night 10: "your charge exceeded the standard. Someone deducted half a kilo of explosives like grenade set at the door!"

WC really has mosquitoes: "Gan! Lao Tzu's anti crack claw crab thunder!"

Lao Bai: "... I think anti tank may be enough."

Mole at large in the canyon: "where's the exoskeleton? Have you seen the exoskeleton? Shit, it's too poor here in Honghe town!"

Fang Chang: "it's written in the post. Look carefully."

Boulder has exoskeletons.

And not only the basic KV-1, but also the series 2 and 3, and even the improved version of type A and type B, with prices ranging from 10 to tens of thousands of chips.

This thing is like a car in the real world. It has different styles, different options and different prices.

The cheapest basic model is equivalent to selling a power supply and small motor. The expensive high configuration version is not only equipped with armor lining, but also equipped with helmet with night vision thermal imaging. Even if the same solid-state hydrogen technology is used, the safety and endurance of batteries made of different materials and technologies are very different.

However, those expensive ones are not on the shelf and usually need special customization.

After all, ordinary people can't afford so much money. In most cases, mercenaries choose KV-1, which is a little more expensive than rifles.

What Chu Guang didn't expect was that KV-1 exoskeleton was so cheap on the shelf of Boulder City, as long as 600 chips?

The actual production cost may be only half of this figure.

Looking at the posts posted by small players on the forum, Chu Guang couldn't help recalling that in the distant past, someone took away two kilograms of blue mushrooms from his hand with only 200 chips, and then sold himself a set of KV-1 exoskeleton with 800 chips.

That's the hard-earned money earned by crows!

That's funny!

However, Chu Guang was too lazy to care about the hundreds of thousands of dollars when he thought of the equipment Liszt bought from Boulder City.

If you don't sell it to him, you can only sell it to the old leech.

In most cases, what he can do is not to choose the best of the two seemingly good choices, but to choose the less bad of the two very bad choices.

Anyway, I fulfilled my promise and killed this guy.

No, it's too vulgar.

We should say win-win!

……

Just when the elder brother Fang was busy replying to the post, Shuyu finally finished everything, and the office of No. 404 shelter in Boulder City was finally listed smoothly.

It covers an area of 120 square meters. There is no public stall, not the door. It has three floors in total, and the monthly rent is 800 chips. The first floor serves as a hall, and the second and third floors serve as hotels for players to rest.

In the future, according to the situation, Chu Guang will consider whether to set up an archive point here and arrange several dormant pods to put them in the past, so as to facilitate players to archive here.

There is a power grid in the area near the industrial zone of Jushi city. One chip can buy 10 degrees of electricity. Some people buy firewood generators to generate electricity by themselves, or tie solar panels to the roof.

There are also a mix of the two.

However, it is not appropriate to buy three or four digits at this stage.

With only 10000 chips, Shuyu dare not waste. After paying three months' rent and a month's deposit, half of the remaining 6800 chips have to be spent on decoration and furniture.

This is the request of the manager.

Even if the budget is tight, we must decorate the place with the "flavor of adventurers' guild" according to the pictures he provides.

Shouldn't it be the chamber of Commerce?

Shuyu didn't understand it, but he didn't take it too seriously. He just regarded it as the personal hobby of the manager.

After renting the site, he put up the communication base station for the first time, hung the antenna on the roof and disguised it with some inconspicuous things.

With this, players' VMS can finally receive messages from the shelter!

But maybe the wall is too high. The signal here is too weak.

Late at night.

Finally, after finishing his busy book, he hung his headphones on his ears and contacted the managers far away in the shelter.

"Sir, according to your instructions, I have contacted the local decoration company for construction. The decoration of the hall is expected to be completed within one week! The decoration of the second and third floors will also be completed within two weeks!"

"Yes, you did a good job."

There was a voice of approval on the other end of the phone. After a pause, he continued.

"The problem of the site has been solved, and the problem of employees has to be solved as soon as possible. I need you to hire some employees who know the local situation, at least ten people, half field and half office."

The field is responsible for receiving players and communicating with local people.

Chu Guang promised in the version that it would provide a more convenient channel for players to hire NPCs with higher transaction levels to help them sell things.

When you have nothing to do, you can also investigate the market, collect local rumors, sort them into intelligence and send them back to the shelter.

Soon the whole Qingquan city will be lively.

You should be able to hear a lot of interesting things from there.

As for the internal service, it means civil servants, including tellers who receive players, handle business and release tasks, as well as negotiating other businesses with local people.

If you find unemployed engineers, or even the blue coats of other shelters, you can introduce them to a new place.

If they want.

"... the training of employees can be carried out according to the manual I sent you. The salary can be appropriately higher according to the market situation. We can't count on their loyalty, but we can tie them to our chariot with interests."

"You can control this by yourself. I believe in your ability."

Holding headphones in both hands, Shuyu nodded seriously.

"OK, sir, but now there is a problem... There are only 3400 chips left in our account. Even according to the minimum standard here, we have to give an employee a daily salary of 3 chips. Considering that we need to bear their food and accommodation, the actual cost may be 4 ~ 5 chips, and the maximum actual employment cost in a month may be 150. If we hire 10 people at a time, we will pay now At most, we have enough money for two months. "

It's not just that there's not enough money in the account.

More importantly, the source of funds!

Institutions that provide services to hundreds or even thousands of people cannot always rely on the subsidies of shelters, not to mention that shelters do not have so many chip reserves.

Hearing the concerns in his heart, Chu Guang said in a reassuring tone.

"Don't worry. The problem of funds will be solved soon. I hope you don't have to worry about chips in the future. After the opening of the trade route, you will be responsible for the bulk commodity import and export business of the shelter and Boulder City, and 10% of the transaction volume will be your funds."

"But remember, you are not a profit-making organization, but a public organization serving the shelter collective."

"I hope you keep that in mind!"

In short, the assessment of departmental KPI is not based on the retention of departmental funds, which can not be wasted, but it does not need to be too economical, let alone fight with other departments in order to cut funds.

In the future, you don't refer to this for promotion or promotion. If you raise the import price for a little money, you will have good fruit to eat at that time.

However, Chu Guang thought that simplicity might be a little difficult for people in this world, so he simply changed a set of words that he could understand.

Of course Shuyu understood, and he couldn't help but have a trace of admiration in his heart.

Not for profit, the interests of the collective take precedence.

Worthy of being a manager!

No wonder it can rule such a large territory and unite those wasteland tourists with loose discipline.

This farsighted vision and this ideological realm are really not comparable to ordinary wasteland visitors

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, the four little players just got up and were summoned by the NPC named Shuyu.

Put on the equipment, night ten said with great enthusiasm.

"What are we going to do today?"

Shu Yu replied in unskilled shelter language.

"We're going to recruit employees from the office. Do you want to come?"

Recruit new NPCs?!

This is a job that players can participate in?!

Hearing this, the eyes of the four small players lit up instantly.

Especially at night ten, the whole person was excited.

"Will you refer to our opinions?"

Shuyu was stunned, glanced at VM, looked at the subtitles that jumped out on the screen and nodded.

"Yes."

Of course.

After all, this office serves them.

Rather, their opinions are important.

"Hahaha, ness!"

Night ten waved his fist excitedly, and his face was full of excited expressions.

Shuyu: "...?"

Milk?

What do you mean by that?

VM translated it, but after reading it for a long time, he didn't understand what the translation result meant.

Gale looked at Fang Chang helplessly. Unexpectedly, this guy was not a serious person. He was holding his chin and muttering there.

"This really needs to be paid attention to... After all, it's a partner to get along with day and night."

Who can refuse the beautiful big sister with white skin and say "be careful on the road", "pay attention to safety" and "I'll wait for you to come back"?

Ten thousand steps back, a vigorous "come on" can also make people full of energy!

Fangchang vowed that this was definitely not his personal hobby, mainly for the sake of everyone.

The wind sighed.

"Rational analysis of a wave..."

The square commander immediately guessed what he was going to say and directly interrupted his spell casting.

"That's good. You can shut up."

Night ten: "go away, I don't want reason!"

Lao Bai: "well, I prefer games to rationality."

“……”

Gale thinks it's better not to talk too much.

The escort of Liszt's caravan, the man named Kaya with a bandage on his arm, was responsible for leading the way.

The party turned several corners and came to a lively market.

However, it is different from other fairs.

The goods sold in the stalls here are not a wide range of goods, but people.

Some sell others and others sell themselves.

"This is the largest 'talent market' in Boulder! Whether free people or slaves, they can be found here!"

"... occasionally, I can even see the bionic people brought by the caravan outside, and even the good things eliminated from the noble lords in the inner city."

"There is no bigger talent market in Qingquan city. If the people here can't get into your eyes, you can only try your luck in the slums outside. But the quality there is too poor... I don't think you will be interested."

After making a general introduction, Kaya smiled and looked at Shuyu and others standing aside.

"Take your time. Just be careful of those with obvious signs. These people may be gang members, some even predators. They don't have absolute confidence in their eyes. It's better to be careful."

Shuyu looked at him unexpectedly.

"There are predators here?"

"Of course, the gate of Stonehenge is open to anyone. Marauders don't write what they have done on their face. But it's easy to distinguish them. Sensing the breath is a required course for an experienced soldier."

Kaya's face wore a confident smile.

"Anyway, I'm fine until dark. If you can't make up your mind, I'll be at your service!"

He is only a temporary worker in a caravan.

Although I have worked for one year, it is far from being a core employee. If the market is bad, I may be fired next year. At that time, I have to go to the waste land to make a living.

There's nothing wrong with getting on well with these people.

He knew very well that without Liszt's relationship, these people might not look at themselves when walking on the street.

Even the boss needs to please, he will not miss this opportunity to be courteous.

Shuyu, who was focused on his work, didn't have so many psychological activities. After nodding and thanking, he went forward with the players.

It's not so much a talent market as a refugee camp. It's really big, but the quality is difficult to be completely satisfactory.

Skinny people can be found everywhere here. Most people have dishes on their faces. At first glance, they live on those "nutritional creams that are not nutritious at all".

There are few people in straight suits with signs full of words in their hands, writing their skills and job requirements.

Some people even set up a stall to help others write on the sign.

[Zhao duo, an electrical engineer, expects a daily salary of 20 chips, accepts a 12 hour working system, can do carpentry and assemble iron pipe rifles.]

[bilech, a blacksmith, worked in an iron and steel plant. Both small and big guys can use it. Six chips a day and five chips a day are OK. Unless he takes charge of two meals, he doesn't accept jobs outside the city.]

[Lim, can use a gun, can use a dagger, can do anything.]

【……】

Looking at the scene in front of us, Fang Changhe and Yeshi were desperate.

"I'm desperate for the future."

"It's agreed that everyone's genes have been improved?"

Look around.

I didn't see a few beautiful people.

"You two are also old players. It seems like your first time in the game..." Lao Bai coughed, "with the nutritional conditions on the waste soil, is it a minority to look good?"

"Well, the poor people here are too thin, but there are some beautiful girls in the mercenaries..." the strong wind's eyes have been staring at a beautiful woman in leather clothes, but when the other party looked, he ran away conditionally.

Night ten argued and cited a counterexample: "but a small fish!"

Fang Chang rolled his eyes at him.

"People don't have poor nutrition. Do you think the manager has missed her?"

The gale nodded and commented to the point.

"Indeed, the little girl seems to be a little taller than when we first entered the game."

It's not just fish.

Most of the younger NPCs in the outpost look good, especially those still developing.

For example, the young man named Xu Shun nearby, and LV Bei who followed brother mole to Honghe town.

These are all names they can call.

And the tribal people next door also have some exotic feelings.

Night ten's eyes suddenly showed a glimmer of enlightenment.

"I see. The answer is to cultivate!"

Lao Bai: "

Fang Chang: "enterprise level understanding."

The wind held his forehead.

"I beg you to be a man."

……

While Shuyu and players were selecting employees, in the grey squirrel clothing store on the other side, today's Schill still sat behind the wooden table and dozed off.

The two clothes in the window are missing.

It's not sold or lost, but rented to people in need.

After all, those blue coats will stay here for several days. If they are finally sold, won't they occupy his good position in vain?

Lost or broken?

That's just right.

Just pay the price on the label.

It's very reliable to do business with acquaintances.

The door opened with a clang, so that Schill, who was dozing off, almost fell off his chair.

Seeing that it was rob, his old friend who opened a bar, he immediately scolded angrily.

"What are you doing? Don't you know to be gentle when you come in!"

Robo ignored him, came up with bright eyes, slapped his hands on the wooden table in front of him, and said spittle stars.

"Do you still have that dress?!"

Schill: "yes..."

Rob Ma continued nonstop, "I want all the socks! And the socks, the long one!"

SIL was stunned.

"All?"

Suddenly recovered.

Schill, who hadn't woken up a second ago, suddenly woke up, looked at him seriously and said.

"No problem, but it's devil's silk, and it's still a refuge Technology... I'm afraid it's a little difficult."

"But -"

Schill lengthened his tone and said.

"For the sake of our relationship, I can help you find a way."

Rob, who had just shown his disappointed expression, immediately grabbed his hand and said excitedly.

"Thanks, good brother!"

Schill cleared his throat.

"Cough, chips..."

"Ha ha, look at my memory! I almost forgot my business!" Luo Bo smiled, grabbed his hand, put it into his pocket, took out a bag of large denomination chips and patted it on the table.

"Including your deposit, 600 chips are here! Just make a deposit with the rest!"

Surprised by this guy's pleasure, Schill quickly put away his chips and looked at him.

"Why do you want so many clothes?"

"You know, I run a bar!"

"Of course I know..."

"Then you certainly don't know what happened yesterday. It's not my boasting. You should have gone to my place for a drink yesterday," said Rob with a beaming smile. "At that time, when my dancer appeared in that suit, the whole bar was boiling!"
