The square in front of the sanatorium was crowded with people and bustling.

The little newcomers who have just entered the game are the same as the previous batch, looking at the vivid world in front of them, rubbing their eyes repeatedly, and eager to kneel on the ground and kiss the sand and dirt under their feet.

"This, this, this!"

"Damn, it's really virtual reality!? Wait, the logout button, I'll look for it, don't go back. ”

"Haha, don't bother, find a brick and shoot your head and you'll log out."

"Woo woo, can I take a screenshot? It's also shocking. ”

"Shocked my dad for a whole year!"

"It's big."

The square was full of chatter, but the veteran players of Wasteland OL had long been accustomed to it, and it was not surprising.

After all, when they first went online, it was almost the same reaction.

With both feet on a virtual soil, the wind is extremely real, and the impact on the worldview and cognition cannot be described in words.

Appearing as the manager of Vault 404, Chu Guang walked up to these newcomers with a plastic bag, signaled them to be quiet, and then handed out the newbie gift bags to them one by one.

"These are five copper coins."

"You can take it to the warehouse to rent tools, or go to the granary to buy food, or you can trade with other players."

Although these newcomers are noisy, they still have a lot of respect for the manager in front of them who holds their "power of life and death".

"Administrator, are you really an NPC? I mean, are you really AI? Not played by people? With all due respect, it's just that you look ...... It's too real! ”

"The manager is very handsome, is he a CP!"

"NPC, how do you check the favorability? Where to look, this game doesn't have a player interface? ”

"Where's my health bar? And where are the blue bars. ”

"Hey, how do you play this game, who's going to take me."

"What's the use of sending money, can you give me a novice sword?"

Hey.

New to swords?

Chu Guang was happy in his heart, but he ignored it.

Don't worry, you won't need that.

As a conscientious and responsible NPC, Chu Guang didn't answer a word, and skillfully handed out the novice reward.

After confirming that there was no leakage, Chu Guang then looked at the knife brother who was standing on the side, put his hands behind his back, and said in a businesslike tone.

"The security of the outpost is up to you."

[Leave people under the knife] excitedly clenched his hands into fists.

"Yes! Administrator! ”

Before these little newcomers had time to kneel down and kiss the soil at their feet, they were dragged outside by this enthusiastic old foreman to dig trenches.

I believe that after the trenches are dug and they look at the fruits of their labor, they should have a deeper understanding of the game.

Feel relieved.

That's how the other players came.

Looking at these little players who were marching towards the north gate, Chu Guang suddenly remembered an RTS game that he had played a long, long time ago.

Its translation is called Kingpower Fantasy, because it is too unpopular, and the sequel pulls the crotch, it is estimated that many people have not heard of it.

The gameplay is very interesting, and unlike mainstream RTS games that emphasize micro-manipulation, the player who rules the kingdom does not have "direct control over every unit".

What does that mean?

To put it simply, if there is a monster in your territory, you can't use micro-manipulation to command the heroes of various classes in the kingdom to cut him, but you can put a bounty on that monster and sprinkle a handful of gold coins.

Heroes naturally team up to go on a crusade, and heroes who kill monsters gain experience and gold. With the money rewarded for the quest, they will go to the taverns of the kingdom to spend money, buy weapons and supplies in the item shop, or learn skills and magic.

If it's a monster that can't be dealt with, the heroes will also be afraid and run away...... Unless you increase the monster's bounty. Driven by sufficient benefits, even if the opponent is a dragon, the adventurers with broken copper and iron will bravely charge.

Chu Guang sometimes felt that what he was doing was actually something similar.

While there is no way to put a health bar on the top of the pillagers' heads, it is possible to scatter a handful of silver coins on top of their heads.

The warehouse of the outpost is surrounded by a group of "old players" above LV2.

Since most of the quests are related to material gathering, this has become almost the usual quest release point.

"Holy! A marauder 20 silver 200 tribute?! And it stacks with the original 5 Silver Captive reward? ”

"Captain Ten's extra reward is doubled!"

"Who knows how many people there are in the Bloody Hand Clan??? Wait online, it's in a hurry! ”

"Brother Meng, the opportunity to get rich overnight has come! Whether you rush or not, I'm rushing anyway! Are there any teams? I have strength, I lack a sense and agility, let's join hands to fight guerrillas! Everyone shares the proceeds! ”

"I still lack 1,000 points to contribute to the citizens, and if I have a liver, I need a week, and 5 prisoners are enough? Damn, this reward can! Isn't it enough to leave a breath? ”

"It's okay if you're out of gas! 10 Credits! Lao Tzu has to move bricks for a day. ”

The players who saw the reward went crazy, and even suspected that the administrator had marked the reward for the task incorrectly.

Unbeknownst to them, however, that an "NPC" did this on purpose.

Don't look at the reward of the bounty target, this task is not something that one person can brush alone, threesomes and foursomes are standard, and the rewards are reasonable to be distributed to everyone.

According to the intelligence, there are almost sixty or seventy people in the Bloody Hand Clan, and counting a few ten-division commanders, there is no problem in controlling the budget within two thousand silver coins.

And it doesn't matter if you exceed your budget.

Can it be a bad thing for a player to be rich?

Apparently not!

What's in this vault that isn't your own?

The forty little newcomers who just came in were enough to fill the vacancies in the outpost's basic labor positions.

Those veteran players who have a deeper understanding of the game can use the money to buy guns and land, stimulate domestic demand, and develop new ways to play.

Chu Guang felt that he who designed this model might be even more genius than the first generation of managers who "packaged the world into a game".

It was just perfect!

At this time, someone finally noticed the need for levels under the mission book.

"Gan! Is there a level required for the mission? What do you mean by being LV1? ”

"The power department is to cut down trees, and to perceive and be agile to find a team to mix...... Wait, this seems to only say that LV2 is required to take on the task, and there is no restriction on LV2 teaming up with people of other levels? ”

"Big guy! Take me! ”

"What's your sequence?"

"Intelligence!"

"Get out."

"Gan!"

Luca, the new storekeeper, sat in a chair in front of the door, guarding the ledger on the wooden table, deaf to the chatter in front of the door.

Yesterday evening, the new owner explained the work to him.

From today onwards, he no longer needs to do farm work, he only needs to carry the things brought by these residents in blue coats into the warehouse, write them down in the ledger with a few not-so-difficult symbols, and then pay them "pay".

It was a very strange metal coin.

Lukka didn't know what the value of it was, and had never heard of a survivor colony trading it for.

However, these blue coats are treasures after receiving these coins, and I think they must be very important to them.

Lukka didn't want to think about it.

Years of experience have taught him that knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.

Seeing Chu Guang coming this way, he immediately stood up tremblingly, clenched his right fist on his left chest, and saluted respectfully.

"What do you command, sir?"

Ignoring the curious players around him, Chu Guang put the wooden basket in his hand on the table.

"I've got a few things here, you can sell them for me. It's still the old rule I told you, if someone comes to buy it, you just ask him to pay according to the price on the label. ”

Chu Guang took the 6 reward points harvested yesterday to open the blind box, but maybe it was because his character was used last time, so he opened 6 lollipops in a row this time.

But fortunately, 2 of them have attribute bonuses, which is not too much of a loss.

Chu Guang thought that the drawers were about to be unable to fit, so he grabbed two handfuls and brought them to the warehouse.

Each lollipop is priced at 1 silver coin, and the buff is doubled.

No one will buy it at such an expensive price, but it is always put away, so it is better to decorate the shelves of the store.

"Yes, sir."

Old Luca placed the contents of the wooden basket on the shelves on the side, and then put a label written by Chu Guang.

At this time, Chu Guang suddenly remembered something and asked.

"By the way, is there sugarcane in the crops at Brown Farm?"

"Sugar cane?" Old Luca looked dazed, as if he had never heard of it.

Chu Guang explained.

"A crop that produces sugar."

Hearing the sugar, old Luca finally understood and replied.

"My lord, I have been at Brown Farm for twenty years, and I have never heard of a crop called sugar cane...... But I know a little bit about the sugar you are talking about. There is a crop called red beet in the farm, which is pulled out of the ground very much like a turnip, and can squeeze out red sugar juice, and after boiling, it can get some small particles out of the bottom, which should be the sugar you are talking about. ”

Do you grow beets for sugar?

Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully.

"Is that thing easy to sell?"

"Is it good to sell...... I don't know, but whether it's a merchant from the south or a merchant from the north, they will buy a little, but not too much, and I heard that there is no salt worth. ”

Where sugar is produced, sugar is certainly not as valuable as salt.

It's also not news that the cost of transporting a commodity on the wasteland may even be much higher than the cost of producing it.

But sugar is a good thing.

Not only can it be eaten, but it can also be used to make wine and even be used as a weapon.

When spring begins next year, we have to find a way to get some seeds.

Chu Guang immediately thought of Giant Stone City.

That's the neighborhood where you're most likely to get what you need.

"Do you have any other commands, sir?"

"No, keep busy with you."

"Yes, sir."

Old Luca watched Chu Guang leave, and then returned to his chair and sat down.

At this time, many players became interested in the new products on the shelves and gathered around.

Lukka was nervous, afraid that someone would steal it.

However, the quality of these players is very high, and they just gather around and discuss excitedly, but no one reaches out to touch it.

"Can this lollipop add attributes?! Really?! ”

"Chocolate Flavor's Strength Boost stat is 10%...... Duration 10 hours. , if this is a power player, it's not happy. ”

"Strawberry flavor is perception, apple flavor is intelligence...... At present, these three added attributes are twice as expensive as other lollipops! ”

"What? It's only twice as expensive, so it's not blood to buy it! Oh, these are two silver coins, sir, I'll have one! ”

"I'll have one too!"

"Gan! How come there is only one left with intelligence! Forget it, buy it and send it to the vine. ”

After a while, the only three lollipops with attributes on the shelves were snapped up, and only twelve without attributes were left unattended.

“…… Did it really sell? ”

Staring at the six silver coins on the table, old Luca muttered quietly.

He couldn't read it, but he was shocked.
