This game is too real

Greenhouse ruins.

One floor above ground.

The place where players fought bloody battles before has now become a lush botanical garden. The soilless cultivation boxes are full of corn, stacked like containers, and arranged layer by layer.

The situation here was really tragic at that time.

The first guy who went in was left with only a VM, and the second wave of people who went in were almost wiped out. It was not until Brother Mole developed the "shield wall method" that the situation was broken.

But later everyone's equipment was upgraded, and it was much easier to brush this book.

Old White, wearing heavy armor, was in the front, and the players in the back row directly took submachine guns and fired a 9mm magazine.

Hit someone?

What does it matter.

9mm pistol bullets hit steel plates, and they can't penetrate them anyway, leaving a few holes on the steel plates at most.

This large-caliber, low-speed bullet has a miraculous effect on unarmored insect-type aliens.

Originally, their stomachs were filled with water and glue. A 7mm gun might make a hole in them, but a 9mm gun could blow them apart.

After the first layer was opened up, Chu Guang immediately issued a task and asked players to come and plant corn.

Now three months have passed, more than ninety days in total, and the green stalks have been covered with golden leaves.

Looking at the mature corn field in front of him, Chu Guang smiled like an old father and nodded approvingly.

"Good job!"

The seeds given by the shelter have been genetically modified, and the growth rate is relatively fast.

In reality, corn, even early-maturing varieties, take a hundred days to mature, but here ninety days is almost enough.

That's right.

I almost forgot about the main business.

Sensing the expectant eyes behind him, Chu Guang came to his senses, raised his index finger calmly, and stretched out his hand to scratch the VM.

Very quickly.

The task settlement list was sent to Makabazi's VM.

Task: Harvest Day (Completed)

Rewards: 1,000 silver coins, 500 contribution points, 2,000 regional reputation points.

"Fuck! Awesome!"

"Four-digit reward!!!"

Looking at the series of rewards that popped up, Makabazi was so excited that tears flowed down his face.

500 contribution points are not mentioned.

Faction contribution is always a good thing, whether it is buying equipment or doing tasks, or setting up industries.

The only regret is that the regional reputation is given to the outpost, not Changjiu Farm.

His reputation at Changjiu Farm has now reached "friendly", and it is almost enough to exceed the 10,000 threshold to reach respect.

Just when Maka was excited, a line of words popped up on the VM, and he almost fainted with happiness.

Congratulations to the player "Makabazi" for becoming the first player to harvest corn.

Please select whether to make a server-wide announcement: Yes/no

Seeing the surprise that suddenly popped up, Makabazi shouted out almost reflexively.

"Yes! Yes!"

Although Chu Guang wanted to remind this guy, he didn't need to shout it out, just reach out and click on the VM screen.

But seeing how excited this little player was, Chu Guang didn't spoil his fun.

Three months.

It's really not easy to stick to it.

From sowing to the final harvest, each step has a corresponding task, and a series of tasks constitute a whole task chain.

Because the automatic watering and harvesting system of the greenhouse ruins has been damaged, many tasks that could have been done by machines now need to be done manually.

Including watering and fertilizing.

Although these tasks also have rewards, they are still a bit boring compared to hunting and picking up garbage.

This Makabazi brother is also a strange man who can stick to the task cycle for three months until the crops mature.

At least in Chu Guang's mind, he is comparable to the fisherman who sits by the lake every day regardless of wind or snow!

Server-wide announcement: Player "Makabazi" successfully harvested the first batch of corn.

Looking at the window that appeared on the VM, Makabazi was so excited that he wanted to roll in the cornfield.

If the administrator was not next to him, he might have done so.

"Hahahaha! I am also the first person to kill in the server!!"

Chu Guang looked at the little player with a smile.

"Can the harvesting work be left to you?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Administrator!"

Makabazi patted his chest and continued with a beaming face.

"I can even help you transport it to the granary!"

Chu Guang said.

"That's not necessary. The workload is too heavy. I will arrange for someone to help you."

Chu Guang took his eyes off Makabazi and continued to look at the cornfield in front of him. He couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.

Is this the feeling of a good harvest?

Really good.

…

After arranging a new task for Brother Maca, Chu Guang immediately left the greenhouse ruins and returned to the outpost to find Guo Ma and handed over the harvesting work.

With so many crops, Maca Bazi alone might not be able to finish them even if he died of exhaustion.

Moreover, harvesting is not just about pulling the corn off the stalks. After that, the seeds must be removed, dried, and stored in the warehouse.

Doing these things in the ruins may be more troublesome than sowing seeds.

There are not many tower-type soilless cultivation boxes on the first floor, and the actual planting area is slightly smaller than that of other floors, but it is calculated that there are nearly 50 acres of actual planting area.

According to the experience of planting area and density, it is roughly estimated that the output is about 25 tons, with an error of two tons.

Even with the lack of planting and management experience and insufficient fertilization, the yield per mu is still nearly 500 kilograms.

In addition to the first floor, there are other floors in the greenhouse ruins.

Not counting the reactor on the ninth floor and the Devil Moth Nest on the tenth floor, there are a total of thirteen floors on the ground and eight underground floors, and the theoretical planting area can reach 870 acres!

So far, the fifth floor on the surface and the fourth floor underground have been developed into farmland.

Half of the potatoes and half of the corn are planted, which adds up to 600 acres.

These production capacities will be gradually released in the next month, and the total output is estimated to reach 300~400 tons.

In addition to other food sources such as hunting and breeding, it is enough for 3,000 people to eat for a year!

Of course, the actual food consumption of players cannot be simply calculated based on one population.

Especially for awakeners, not only their physical fitness and metabolic levels are far superior to ordinary people, but their appetite is also close to two to three times that of ordinary people.

Even Chu Guang himself felt it.

At the beginning, he could eat two meals from one can, but now he can't wait to open two cans for one meal.

In a sense, this is also a kind of energy conservation?

According to the actual consumption rate of food, these 300-400 tons of food may only be enough for half a year.

However, even so, it is enough.

After the 30,000 mu of wasteland is reclaimed, even if the production efficiency in the first year is only half of that in the greenhouse ruins, the food produced is enough for him to use for several versions.

The part above the B4 layer of the greenhouse ruins is used for farming.

As for B5 to B9, Chu Guang did not plant crops on all of them, but planned to keep them for "raising poisonous insects" and harvest them every few months, leaving them for players to repeatedly swipe devil moths.

As for the spirit leaves, you can cut half and leave half.

After a round of harvesting, open all the gates from B5 to B9 to let the moths come in and lay their young.

In this way, you can achieve a production line-like harvest.

When the 10,000 mu of fertile land on the north side of Linghu is reclaimed in the future, it will be no problem to use the entire greenhouse to raise devil moths!

Whether it is spirit leaves or devil silk, they are definitely scarce in the wasteland. He is probably the only family in the area that can stably produce these two things.

…

"What the hell?! Can planting corn be announced to the whole server?"

"A shady deal! A complete shady deal!"

"Damn it, it's okay for Boss Crow, but even Makabazi has dedicated his soul and butt to the planner?"

"Hey! If I had known, I would have found a piece of land and sowed some seeds!"

"But think about it from another angle, the identity of the son of the version of the life professional player has also been confirmed. Planting corn can be announced to the whole server, so it is reasonable to announce potatoes once, right?"

"!!!"

On the west side of Changjiu Farm.

The little players who were working on the wasteland with pickaxes and shovels were chattering and noisy, and there was a tractor plowing the land not far away, dragging the rake with a clang.

Looking back at the almost invisible wall, Baiyin's father threw away the rake in his hand panting and sat beside the ridge of the field, grinning and shouting.

"How long will this end?"

Silver Sword waved his hoe silently and replied without looking up.

"It depends on how many activity points you want to get."

Silver Dad: "Fuck! There is no upper limit for this activity?"

Silver Sword: "No."

Silver Dad: "???"

This is going to be crazy! !

As we all know, when a game is doing an activity, except for the unlimited krypton gold, there will be an upper limit for other rewards and points that can be obtained.

This is mainly to prevent players from over-inflating their data.

However, this game does not seem to have this tradition.

As long as you want, you can keep working until your character is exhausted and the "anti-addiction mechanism" is triggered to physically disconnect.

Silver Hand, who had been silent, couldn't help but complain: "Aren't you a physical character? Why are you slower than the two of us?"

Silver's father rolled his eyes: "Who knows! The physical attribute in this game only increases debuff resistance and recovery speed, and has nothing to do with endurance! And you two, didn't you agree that one would choose strength and the other would choose agility, why did you choose both strength?!"

"How dare you say that about us!"

"That's right! Didn't you say you would choose intelligence?"

Seeing that the two friends were glaring at him, Silver's father coughed awkwardly and said with a grin.

"I heard that the content of this game is quite rich, with high physical fitness and fast recovery speed. If you have an online relationship in the future... you know."

Silver Hand and Silver Sword looked at each other.

I understand.

But...

"I think this idea is a bit redundant."

"Indeed, I think so too."

"Fuck! What do you two mean?"

Silver Sword shrugged.

"Nothing, I just think it's a bit difficult for you to have an online relationship with your crappy ID."

Silver Hand nodded.

"+1, even transsexuals won't talk to your crappy ID."

Silver Dad: "%#@!"

...

Just as the newbies were working in the fields, the Boulder City on the edge of the Third Ring Road welcomed a group of special guests.

"Is this the Boulder City?"

"This wall is built like a dam..."

"Oh my god... How much concrete does it take?"

"I don't know..."

A concrete wall as high as a 20-story building.

Counting the steel structure inside, the amount of cement and steel consumed is probably an astronomical figure.

On the way down from the viaduct, Lao Bai, Ye Shi, and Kuang Feng's eyes were glued to this wall and couldn't move away.

Since he had been surprised once before, Fang Chang's expression was relatively calm. He coughed and said.

"You guys should be normal."

Ye Shi swallowed his saliva and retracted his gaze from the giant wall.

"I think I am normal, but this game is abnormal!"

Kuang Feng, who was standing next to him, also nodded.

"+1."

Although it is a bit idealistic to say this, since this giant wall can be built, it is unreasonable to be blocked by the gnawers in the wall.

This is a bit unreasonable.

Unless this wall fell from the sky.

"This bunch of country bumpkins."

Seeing these people's ignorant appearance, the mercenary walking next to the team laughed in a low voice, but was glared at by the mercenary leader.

"Shut up."

Seeing the boss speak, the mercenary immediately shut his mouth and dared not speak again.

Retracting his gaze from his subordinates, the mercenary leader glanced in the direction of those people, and saw that they did not notice this side, so he was slightly relieved.

These people are very powerful.

Whether it's the man with the bow on his back or the man with the machine gun on his back.

Although this sounds a bit outrageous, his intuition tells him that these two people may be awakened!

He doesn't want to provoke the power that can keep the Death Claw as a pet.

The goods are about to be delivered, and it will not be good for anyone to cause trouble at this time.

Get off the elevated road.

Not far ahead was the Far Wind Hotel and the slums opposite.

As the group walked towards the door, many people were also looking at them, especially the goods on the back of the two-headed bull.

After seeing this, the children sitting at the door of the slum seemed to have seen something, whispered a few words to each other, and quickly ran back to the slum.

After a while, several men with skulls tattooed on their faces walked out of the slum.

Seeing these people, Xu Shun calmly put his hands on his waist, Fang Chang and Lao Bai exchanged glances, and also put their hands on their weapons at the same time.

Not only did the faces of several players not show any fear, but their eyes showed a hint of excitement.

Is this going to trigger the plot?

Hurry up!

Reading the tense atmosphere in the air, Shu Yu's heart was already in his throat.

However, thinking that he represented Shelter No. 404, he still tried not to show a nervous expression on his face.

"Tommy, where did you get all these good stuff?" The bald man with a dagger tattooed on his face, who was walking in front, cast a playful look at the mercenary leader.

The mercenary leader's face was tense and he said expressionlessly.

"These are not my things, but I advise you not to take these goods unless you think it's not troublesome enough."

"Ha, who is your employer?"

Before the mercenary leader answered, a voice floated out from the team.

"Lister."

Walking out of the team, Qian Lai looked at the bald man with a dagger tattooed on his face and continued.

"Any questions?"

Hearing Lister's name, the bald man's face changed slightly, and his playful expression was restrained a little.

"Of course no problem, actually I just want to ask... do you need someone to help sell so many herbs? We can help."

Qian Lai said impatiently.

"One kilogram of chips costs 100. If you can buy them all, I can give you a 10% discount."

It would probably cost tens of thousands of chips to buy them all.

But...

If we can eat this batch of goods and refine it into spiritual water, it may not be a problem to double or triple it.

The bald man looked a little embarrassed and said in a deep voice.

"... This, I have to ask my boss."

Qian Lai said concisely.

"I can wait until eight o'clock tonight. Do you know how to contact me?"

After being rejected, the minions returned to the slums.

Staring at their backs, Shu Yu looked at Qian Lai and asked.

"Who are they?"

"The Dagger Gang. Sometimes they tattoo daggers on their faces, sometimes on their arms. Don't worry. You don't have to deal with these people."

Qian Lai then looked at the mercenary leader of Tommy and urged him, "Let's go. If we stay here too long, other flies will fly over."

The group continued on their way and lined up at the city gate for inspection.

The militiamen in charge of the inspection saw the goods on the back of the cow and showed surprised expressions on their faces.

"Another batch of goods? Where did you get them from?"

He remembered the man in front of him, and it seemed that he was the same guy a week ago.

Qian Lai lied with his eyes open: "The survivors in the plantation in the south have a lot of stocks."

The militiaman obviously didn't believe his nonsense, but didn't say anything, just hinted.

"I'm afraid you have to pay a lot of tax for this stuff."

"Of course, we are law-abiding citizens."

Qian Lai had a friendly smile on his face, and just like the last time he came, he quietly stuffed a bag of chips into their hands.

The militiaman who collected the money opened the bag and took a look, smiled knowingly, took out two chips from it and stuffed them into his pocket, and then walked towards the table at the door.

"They are all vegetables."

The officer in charge of registration took a look at the bag of chips on the table and made two strokes on the book.

"Let them in."

Shu Yu looked at Qian Lai with a little surprise.

That's it?

Noticing his gaze, Qian Lai chuckled and said in a lower voice.

"Food doesn't need to be taxed, so it will save money... So you see, we are not without costs."

Shu Yu asked.

"Don't you need to check if you pay the money?"

Qian Lai thought for a while and said.

"Not necessarily. It depends on the situation and the person. If you want to send contraband in, it may be a little difficult."

Shuyu nodded thoughtfully.

Although he had done business before, he always felt that the situation here was much more complicated than his hometown...

After paying the city entry tax.

The group entered the city smoothly.

According to the contract, the mercenaries sent them to the warehouse area and then paid their wages to Qian Lai.

The warehouse rented by Lister was not far from the entrance of the warehouse area. There was still some space inside, which was more than enough to store one ton of goods.

After several people unloaded the goods together, Qian Lai asked the guard with a bandage on his arm to move the two-headed cow to the shed at the entrance of the warehouse area and returned it. Then he looked at Shuyu and others who were traveling with him and said with a smile.

"If you don't want to rent a warehouse, you can also store the goods with us. Anyway, there are not many things."

Shuyu shook his head and declined politely.

"No, we are planning to rent a storefront."

Qian Lai said politely.

"Are you in such a hurry? Boulder City is very big, you can look around and pick a good place."

Shu Yu shook his head.

"The manager asked me to find a place near the warehouse."

The warehouse area of ​​Boulder City is very close to the city gate. Across a street is the trade station, and further back is the market where locals buy things. The transportation is relatively convenient.

The office is just for convenience. There is no need to open it in a particularly prosperous place. Even a small one is fine. The monthly rent should be kept below one thousand chips.

When they have the conditions in the future, they will buy one.

This was the advice of the manager before he left.

Qian Lai didn't say anything else, but he still took them to the outside of the warehouse area very enthusiastically and found a place to rent a house.

There are many idle houses here, and the rent is not expensive. A 120-square-meter storefront only needs to pay 800 chips a month, which is only 20 chips a day on average.

If they add another 200 chips, the landlord said he could rent them the two empty rooms upstairs.

If they want to buy it, such a house will not only cost nearly 300,000 chips, but also have to pay 50 chips of management fees and land taxes every month.

Looking at the subtitles jumping on the VM, Ye Shi counted on his fingers and looked at Fang Chang next to him in confusion.

"1666 chips per square meter, is this cheap or expensive?"

Fang Chang thought for a while and said.

"It's cheap according to the rent-to-sale ratio, but a bit expensive according to prices and income. I remember that in the textile factory in the nearby industrial zone, two meals of nutritional paste, the daily salary seems to be 3 to 4 chips?"

The monthly salary is only 90 to 120 chips, not even enough to buy a rifle.

If it is a child laborer, most factories only give 1 chip a day, and some simply only provide meals, and the wages are paid once a week, or simply with the goods produced.

Since the smallest unit is a chip, it is even impossible to calculate the hourly wage of the locals.

But in contrast, the salary of engineers will be higher, which is basically more than 10 times that of ordinary workers. If the work place is outside the city or even in other survivor settlements nearby, it is more likely to double the original basis.

Some technicians who master scarce technologies can even earn three-digit daily wages.

However, these giant pandas usually don't go outside the city at all. They usually live in high-end apartments near the inner city, and some even move into the inner city with a good environment.

As for mercenaries?

Most of them only earn the money they spend today, so it's meaningless to discuss their income.

The nPs are still bargaining for rent.

Shuyu fully utilized his bargaining skills and has cut the rent to 900 per month.

This price has touched the bottom line of the landlord, but the house here is not as good as the bustling neighborhood, and it is really hard to rent. He can only be patient and talk to the people in front of him.

Ye Shi calculated for a long time, and suddenly raised his head.

"Damn, I should have saved up the chips earlier!"

Lao Bai gave him a strange look.

"Why save that thing?"

"Buy a set!" Ye Shi said with shining eyes, "When the new map is completely opened, there will always be people coming, right? We can rent it to them! Isn't it much better than exchanging it for silver coins directly?"

Rent it to Teng Teng!

10,000 silver coins a month!

Rich woman Teng Teng can definitely afford it!

Kuangfeng: "..."

Fang Chang said speechlessly: "Are there 10 chips in total that you have touched?"

Ye Shi: "Well, that's true."

Lao Bai: "Besides, what's the point of buying here? It's so far from the resurrection point. It's better to build one next to the base."

"But then again, there should be stores in Boulder City, right?" Kuangfeng, who was standing on the street, looked around and said, "Have you investigated the prices of such equipment?"

"A drone x-2 assault rifle costs 150 chips. Judging from its shape, it should be an imitation of the g9 assault rifle. The iron tube rifle is cheaper. It seems to be sold by weight."

Kuangfeng then asked: "Where is the bionic prosthesis?"

Fang Chang was slightly stunned.

"This... I didn't see it. I went to several weapon stores and didn't see it. But there are exoskeletons for sale."

Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the three people were instantly excited.

"Fuck, exoskeleton?!"

"Are you sure?"

"Stop talking, take us there!"

"What's the point of you going there? Do you have money to buy it?"

Looking at his teammates with shining eyes, Fang Chang sighed helplessly.

"... Forget it, you'll know when you get there."

Ye Shi had already carried the packages on the ground on his back and said with a grin.

"Take these too! Maybe you can sell them for some money!"

Fang Chang said speechlessly.

"If you sell them, they will be other people's chips, okay..."

Ye Shi: "It doesn't matter! We agreed before we set off that half of the chips sold will be ours!"

Fang Chang was stunned.

There is such a thing?

But looking at the three teammates, it doesn't seem like they are joking.

The boss who was bargaining saw these country bumpkins picking up the packages on the ground and thought they were not going to rent them. He panicked and shouted hurriedly.

"800! 800 is no problem! But you have to pay three months' rent at once, and one month's deposit! This is already the lowest price, it's impossible to find a cheaper one!"

Shu Yu said immediately without missing this opportunity.

"Deal!"

Qian Lai, who was standing next to him, was slightly stunned when he saw the man in front of him.

Good guy.

Picking up two floors for free...

This guy might be a talent.
