"Why did you come up with such a strange name?"

"Isn't that weird?"

"No, Greenhouse Farm...... It's a bit strange to say that it's just passing over. ”

"Gan! Can I be blamed for this? Hey, Lao Tzu's application was written and handed in, only to remember that he forgot to take a riotous name. ”

"By the way, what are you going to call it?"

"QQ Farm."

"Poof."

[Makabazi] found the [Edge Paddling] that he had contacted on the forum, and the two young players set off towards the east gate in animal skin coats, carrying wooden bows and javelins, and cleared the wasteland.

Although Chu Guang was curious why they went to the east gate instead of the west gate, carrying wooden bows and javelins instead of hoes and axes, he still didn't care about them in the end after thinking about it.

Evening.

Chu Guang was too lazy to cook, so he went to the north gate for a walk and found that the crow had stewed a pot of venison and mushroom soup, so he put 1 silver coin on the table.

"I want two bowls."

"Okay!"

The crow who took the bowl energetically served two large bowls of broth with a spoon, and with a sweet smile on his face, he served it to Chu Guang.

"Be careful."

The players holding the bowl next to them saw it, and instantly felt that the meat in the bowl was no longer fragrant, and they shouted one after another.

"Boss Crow, you are eccentric!"

"That's it! Not gentle at all when I gave it to me! ”

"What a big leg in the manager's bowl! I see it! ”

"That's why, there's only a piece of meat in our soup!"

"That's right! And it's still ass meat! ”

"There should be no distinction between high and low food! My wife said it! ”

Crow's face flushed, and she hurriedly quibbled.

"What do you call butt meat! I, am I that kind of person? ”

Besides, what's wrong with eccentricity?

Is there a problem with pleasing NPCs? Do you dare to say you haven't licked it? Hehe, a mouthful of "respected managers" is embarrassed to say that I am?

Anyway, I triggered the Hidden Mission!

"I don't care, unless I get another bowl!"

"I want to eat a fart!"

Chu Guang smiled like an old father, ignored these noisy little players, turned around and walked through the north gate, and went to Xia Yan's little sister's weapon shop.

After several rounds of renovations and alterations, the current weapons store has completely changed.

The original mud walls have been transformed into regular red brick walls, plastered inside and out, and the floor is covered with a wooden floor.

If it was the small dilapidated house before, it is estimated that it would have been crushed by the snow a long time ago.

It can be seen that the players feel more sorry for Boss Xia than themselves, and because of a few hand-drawn CG pictures on the forum, she is about to become a mascot.

No, should it be said that it already is?

When Chu Guang walked here, Xia Yan fell asleep on the table, and there was a pile of freshly made bullets in the wooden basket next to him.

Now the players are playing happily at the North Gate, but no one is here to disturb her.

Chu Guang didn't wake her up, just gently placed the bowl next to her.

Then he found a chair in his room, sat down by the brazier, added a stick of wood to it, and drank the bowl of tender venison and mushroom soup while he roasted it.

There were sparks floating on the fire.

The aroma of broth gradually filled the room.

The nose buried in the crook of his arm moved slightly, and Xia Yan, who woke up slowly, looked around blankly, and when he saw Chu Guang sitting in the room, the whole person instantly sobered up.

Looking at Xia Yan who woke up, Chu Guang said casually.

"You've really been slacking off a lot lately."

I haven't found it after being touched for so long, and I didn't wake up until I smelled the smell of meat, and I am afraid that I will not survive two episodes if I am in the wasteland.

Being caught lazy, Xia Yan looked embarrassed, like a child who had done something wrong, buried his head and didn't dare to look at him, and whispered.

"I, I just slept for a while when I was done, I wasn't lazy...... When did you come in. ”

"Just now," looking at Xia Yan's nervous appearance, Chu Guang smiled and teased, "As for being so nervous?" ”

Xia Yan hesitated for a long time and didn't speak.

Chu Guang thought for a while and spoke.

"From tomorrow, I will pay you every day...... Well, the salary of 10 silver coins will be settled this month, and the next month will start to end monthly. Every month I will give you an indicator, mainly about the production of ammunition and weapons. You can treat it as your task, and after completing the task, you can get a bonus of 10%~30% of the monthly salary of the month. In addition, your winnings will also be related to the profit of the weapon shop. ”

Xia Yan hurriedly asked.

"What if it's not done?"

Chu Guang shrugged.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, there are 30 revolver rifles in stock now, and there are more than 4,000 rounds of ammunition, which is enough for the time being."

The Bloody Hand Clan has fallen, and now the only threat in the area is the mutants of 76th Street, but they seem to have their own problems to face, and they have not yet set their sights on the Linghu Wetland Park.

The sudden cold winter is an opportunity, even if it is a risk.

This natural barrier will buy the residents of Vault 404 a valuable time to grow. Food, fuel, and building materials are the key, and the need for weapons is not so urgent.

Peeking at Chu Guang, Xia Yan whispered.

“…… To be exact, it was actually 14, and another 16 were sold some time ago, and there were more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition. ”

Chu Guang didn't care.

"It's okay, there's still a lot of scrap looted from the looters in the inventory, enough for those little buddies to play for a while."

"Why are you so good all of a sudden...... He even paid me a salary. Xia Yan asked in a low voice.

In Boulder City, only when the big people need their little people to die, will they suddenly and inexplicably show kindness.

Although the possibility of finding a buyer in winter is very small, Xia Yan is still a little scared, after all, this man has left too much impression on her.

"Because I think it's almost time," Chu Guang thought for a while and said, "It's not just you, including Old Luca, the people who work for me will be paid, more or less. You don't have to think of it as a reward, it's the part you deserve after you put in the work. ”

To put it simply, you need to stimulate consumption.

It's a bit difficult to rely on players to consume what players produce themselves, and getting NPCs to buy what players produce appropriately can encourage players to expand production.

Xia Yan nodded as if he didn't understand.

She actually wanted to say that if she really wanted to pay her, she could use those white plastic sheets, not a lot, one a day.

But she was more cowardly, so she could only comfort herself.

Actually, the silver coins are pretty good, 10 silver coins...... I've heard that two chips can only be exchanged for one silver coin, so when you think about it, isn't your daily salary 20 chips? 600 chips per month!

In Boulder City, an assault rifle is only 150 chips, and the income in a month can sell four guns, a proper middle-class citizen!

Black hey......

This dream is doing, and Xia Yan amuses himself.

Chu Guang ignored the demented expression on her face and continued to speak to herself.

"On top of that, you'll get a 'budget' from the 'profits' of the weapon shop, which you can use to issue quests to the 'players'. As I taught you, you can guide them to do things that would otherwise require you to do it yourself. For example, fill the shells with gunpowder, oil the receiver, or even help you look at the store for a while......"

"You can freely use your imagination in this part of the content, anyway, you know more about these trivial matters than me, your VM can help you edit, and if you don't understand something, you can contact my assistant Xiaoqi through the VM. Finding something to do for others can also make your own work easier. ”

Sitting precariously listening to Chu Guang speak, Xia Yan didn't dare to move, nor did he dare to interrupt.

But the bowl of venison mushroom soup was so fragrant that she couldn't help but peek at it several times, swallowing again and again.

Noticing her small movements, Chu Guang, who had finished explaining the matter, smiled and said in a relaxed tone.

"You can figure out the rest yourself, and I won't talk nonsense. I'll invite you to that bowl of venison and mushroom soup, drink it while it's hot, there's still a piece of venison leg in it. ”

Xia Yan immediately picked up the bowl and devoured it.

When she put down the bowl, she said with a happy expression on her face, ignoring the oil and soup that was full of oil and soup in her mouth.

"Woooooooo

"You can go to the north gate after work, it's getting more and more lively, I guess you haven't been there."

Chu Guang stood up from the chair, casually placed the empty bowl on the wooden table next to the brazier, and counted out 10 silver coins and placed them next to the bowl.

"When you're done drinking, you'll wash it for me in a while."

"Thank you for this time."

Until Chu Guang walked out of the door, Xia Yan, who was holding a bowl in his hand, didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

“！”

What word did this big devil say?!

She couldn't remember if there had been any before, but she knew very well how ruthless and hard-hearted this man's methods were.

Not only is he ruthless enough to his enemies, but he is also unkind to his own people.

She had seen it with her own eyes, and he ordered the corpses of the fallen soldiers to be burned in the furnace and burned with the enemy, and there was not even a single grave left for anyone.

Such a ruthless man must have some intention to suddenly show favor to himself!

However, for some reason, Xia Yan suddenly felt as if she was not as scared as before.

How so?

When this man threatened to throw herself out to fend for herself if she didn't do her job well, she did find it quite scary.

But it seems that after getting along for a while, he hasn't really kicked himself out.

Sipsing the soup in the bowl, Xia Yan couldn't think of any trash talk for a while.

Never mind.

He hadn't done anything too much to me anyway.

This venison is quite delicious.

For the sake of inviting Uncle Ben to drink soup, I'll help him wash the bowl together by the way.

……

After coming out of the weapons shop, Chu Guang found Old Luca and explained to him about his salary.

After being a slave for most of his life, old Luca had a blank expression on his face when he heard that his master was going to give him money.

Chu Guang really didn't bother to explain what the salary was again, so he simply said.

"You should think of it as a reward."

"Save some food or use, go to the carpentry hut to buy some furniture, support the 'players' business, or save it to build yourself a decent house."

Hearing the word bounty, old Luca was moved to tears, and wanted to kneel down at that time, but remembering that his master had said that people in Vault 404 were not allowed to kneel, he immediately put his right fist on his chest.

"Thank you for your generosity! Master. ”

If he thought like this, it would make him feel more comfortable, and Chu Guang didn't bother to correct his thoughts.

After explaining the work matters, Chu Guang then asked about the training of the two new storekeepers.

It has to be said that these survivors who have had the experience of serfdom have a natural adaptability to the service positions of "warehouse management".

After all, for them, at Brown Farm, these jobs were only available to the serfs.

On the next step, there were only the farmer's servants, stewards, and soldiers.

However, those people can no longer be regarded as serfs, or even complete slaves, but more like subordinates with status. Most of them were sons who inherited their father's business, and only with few opportunities would serfs be selected to work in their master's house.

Therefore, both of them cherish the opportunity in their hands, and the speed of learning is quite fast, and it is estimated that it will not take a few days to wear the VM and officially take up the post.

Chu Guang was still very relieved about Luca's work attitude, and after a brief inspection, he turned around and went back to the nursing home.

Just when he was thinking about whether to play the game he had just played at the refuge shelter, or to go to the third floor to stay with Xiao Qi for a while, there was a commotion in the direction of the north gate.

A similar scene always feels a little familiar.

I saw a small player with a broken leg, lying on a stretcher, carried by two other players, trotting in from the north gate.

Chu Guang recognized him.

If memory serves, it should be in the afternoon.

This guy followed Makabazi, and the two of them went out from the east gate with wooden bows and javelins, and they were singing happily.

At that time, I was still wondering if they had gone the wrong way from the east gate. Now that I think about it, eighty percent of them didn't go the wrong way, but they rushed to die from the beginning.

Chu Guang had a strange expression, turned on the system, opened the list of players, and sure enough, he saw that Brother Ba's icon was already gray, obviously cold.

Walking forward and looking at the [Edge Paddling] lying on the stretcher and his consciousness crumbling, Chu Guang asked with a frown.

"What's going on with you?"

"Moth! Lots of moths! And a moth is so big, almost as long as an arm! Their teeth, like scissors! ”

I don't know if the expression on the edge paddling face is excited or frightened, but in short, I am very emotional, and my hands are randomly gesturing in the air.

"We went to the neighborhood northeast of the wetland park on the map, where there is the site of an artificial greenhouse! We were going to see if we could find something to use inside, but after trying to get in through the safe passage, we saw a long cocoon hanging on the net as soon as we walked to the exit! We were stunned, and we were just about to study what it was, and then the makaba at the front was gnawed by the moths that pounced on us! ”

The [Construction Site Boy and Brick] who was carrying the stretcher kept listening with his ears pricked up, and when he heard the last sentence gnawed, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Nibble, nibble?"

"That's right! It's gnawing! The edge paddled and took a breath, ignoring the bleeding wound, and continued excitedly, "Seeing that I couldn't run away, Brother Maca took off the VM and threw it to me, I didn't dare to turn back, and rushed to the safe passage with all my might!" As a result, they were about to rush out, but they were still gnawed on their legs by two big moths......"

"Fortunately, these insects are not hardy, and I even crawled out of the safe passage, but the moths behind me did not chase them out, and the two big moths that bit my legs did not have much strength. I stabbed me with a dagger a few times, and finally I was killed, and even this leg was only half cut off. ”

It's okay to be eaten only half of it......

The edge of the water stroke was colorful, but Chu Guang listened to it next to him, but his brows jumped.

This is due to the fact that the excessive pain is blocked, and if it is another survivor, I am afraid that the first bite will be so painful that I can't breathe.

"Devil Moth."

Chu Guang took a deep breath, glanced at his bloody broken leg, and immediately issued a terminal diagnosis.

"You're missing a leg, and you're missing a bone, and it's not an injury that can be healed by a culture pod. Without the property of 'amputated limb regeneration', no matter how strong the resilience is, you know what I mean? ”

The most humane thing to do is to kick off the line, lock the login, and send it straight into the furnace.

It doesn't matter if you're dead or not, without the access of the conscious body, the clone is an empty shell without a mind, and whether you're dead or not doesn't affect the recovery of the active substance.

The edge paddling certainly understood the manager's hints, which was an old tradition in Vault 404, and nodded at the speed of light.

"I know! I know, honorable administrator, but if I have to die, can I choose a way to die? ”

This is a reasonable request.

Chu Guang nodded.

"No problem, how do you want to die?."

Edge paddling smiled embarrassedly and said shyly.

"I'd like to try, that righteous gallows at the door...... Hehe, a little curious. ”

Chu Guang: "......"

It was the first time he had heard such a strange request.

That's fine.

I can keep a whole corpse, and it's convenient to recycle it myself.

……

In this way, he was just carried into the edge of the base to paddle, and was carried by the two players to the gallows outside the north gate.

"Wait, let me think of a handsome line, I want to die like a hero-"

"Less, go down to you!"

"I'm a ga-"

The two players quickly dealt with it and sent the crooked neck edge dude to the morgue.

His gear and VM would be stored in a locker in the buffer room, and three days later he would be a good man again.

Chu Guang went to the third floor of the outpost and found Xiao Qi.

"The nest of the devil moth was found in the northeast of Linghu Wetland Park."

"Devil Moth?"

"An insect xenomorph, you can help me mark three skeletons on the map first, this thing is not easy to deal with."

Xiao Qi tilted the camera.

"Do you want to ban players from entering that area?"

"It's not necessary, just warn," Chu Guang thought for a moment and said, "Including the restrictions on 76th Street can be lifted, but the danger signs are retained." ”

"I'm curious to see how these players will handle this tricky puzzle."
