In the evening, as the last caravan left the North Gate of Bate Street, the survivors of Vault 404 returned home singing triumphant songs.

The residents of Bate Street watched the victors disappear to the end of the street with blank expressions, and many of them had not yet recovered from the sound of the morning cannons.

Only......

It's over?

No one died.

The most seriously injured person was none other than an unlucky guard, who was scratched in the face by the falling sawdust from the shells. After the invaders broke through the gate, they did not burn and plunder like the marauders, but went straight to the castle in the middle of Bate Street—as Zhao Rat and the others said, they had come to teach the old mayor that as long as he stayed at home and did not go out, he would be fine.

No one cares about the fate of the old mayor who is missing, everything he is to blame is for himself, it is better for him to die and never appear in front of them.

As for the booty that those men had taken away, the inhabitants of Bate Street did not feel anything, whether it was the grain in the granary or the weapons in the armory, these were the property of the old mayor.

He would never share these things with them, and they were naturally not obligated to feel sorry for him.

"Where did you say Mayor Mare went?"

"I don't know, no one seems to have seen him come out of the castle."

"Maybe it's sneaking away disguised as a scavenger."

"I think I was beaten to death by the blue coats."

"I've heard that Blue Coats rarely use force on their own initiative, and it seems that the mayor's family has really these people."

"The new mayor is the old butler?"

"It's not bad, but he's so old...... Will it work? ”

"My concern now is grocery stores...... In the future, the grocery store will be gone, so where can we go to change the salt? ”

Hearing the conversation of the residents, old Charlie coughed and walked in front of the group.

"The grocery store will be open as usual, and I will arrange for a conscientious owner, so you don't have to worry. Your lives will not be affected in any way by what is happening today, but will be better than before. ”

"Celebrate this day, the tyrant who oppressed you has been overthrown, and no one will ever sell you inferior goods again. Grocery stores will be run by street offices and will no longer be primarily for profit, I can assure you guys. ”

Street office?

What is that?

The inhabitants of Bate Street looked at each other, for it was the first time they had heard such a mouthful of words.

In fact, old Charlie was also hearing of it for the first time.

However, it doesn't really matter what it's called.

A name is just a symbol.

The key is to see how you do it.

A group of residents got together and gossiped for a while, but they didn't discuss the reason, and finally they all dispersed and went their own way.

……

On the other side, the outpost of Vault 404.

Chu Guang, who was returning home, instructed a few young players from the power department to help unload the materials in the caravan and move them into the warehouse and granary for classification and storage.

More than a dozen tons of grain, a dozen furs, and a lot of condiments.

Looking at the almost stuffed granary, Chu Guang experienced the joy of fighting local tyrants for the first time.

That's so cool!

Or...... Why don't you just knock down the local tyrant next door?

Just when Chu Guang was swaying between the position of neutrality and evil, old Luca, who was standing on the side, reported to him with a respectful face.

"My lord, when you were away, Brown Farm sent a messenger."

Retracting his gaze from the stacked granary, Chu Guang looked at Luca.

"Emissary? What did he say? ”

Lukka nodded.

He brought a message from Mr. Brown saying that he was thanking you for your contribution to the survivors in the northern suburbs, and that he would like to give you a batch of supplies as a thank you gift. This includes 5,000 kilograms of croissants, 5,000 kilograms of sugar beets and 5,000 kilograms of corn. At the same time, he also said that he hopes to establish friendly trade relations with us"

Chu Guang's expression was slightly surprised.

"They've done it all the time."

Originally, he thought that he would wait for the end of Bate Street to go to the door of Brown Farm, and vaguely express that he was very short of food, but he didn't expect them to take the initiative so much, and before he even opened his mouth, he took the initiative to express his willingness to send some food.

At this time, Chu Guang suddenly remembered the broadcast of Boulder City that he heard on the radio in the mayor's study, and his expression couldn't help but be a little weird.

It seems that I should thank the host who ran the train with his mouth full, right?

Lukka nodded and said with emotion: "It's really bloody, so much food...... It's not cheap to buy. ”

In previous years, merchants from Boulder City came to the farm to buy grain, and they all bought it one by one, and the wholesale price was high and low, but even when it was cheap, 15,000 kilograms of grain had to cost thousands of chips.

And corn and sugar beets are more expensive than croissants and barley.

After all, the latter is the food of the "lower people", the former is a high-quality staple food, and the other is a raw material for sugar production, and the planting cycle will be longer.

Chu Guang estimated that eighty percent of these materials were prepared for the Bloody Hand Clan.

Now that the Bloody Hand Clan is gone, he has become the most threatening force in the region, and the farm probably wants to take this opportunity to establish a friendly relationship with him.

At the very least, don't develop into an enemy.

Chu Guang, who accepted this "thank you gift", did not feel embarrassed, looked at Luca and then asked.

"When are they going to deliver the stuff?"

"If it's fine, it will be delivered tomorrow at noon, and if it snows, it may be late."

At this point, Lukka paused for a moment and reminded.

"Also, my lord, you should have noticed that our granaries are full. And now that the grain reserves at the base are getting bigger and bigger, I propose to build special silos for several major reserve varieties, which can both extend the preservation time of crops and save space. ”

There wasn't much food in the base before, and the weather was getting colder, so I only built a shed that could shelter from the wind and rain, and piled the grain in it.

Now that the population of the outpost is increasing, and the food reserves are also coming up, it is definitely not possible to deal with it as casually as before.

If you want to preserve food for a long time, you must not only consider waterproof and insect resistance, but also consider a series of issues such as moisture and fire prevention.

After listening to Old Luca's suggestion, Chu Guang nodded.

"Your suggestion is good, I will arrange for someone to assist you. Now I have a task for you, I need you to take 500 catties of raw meat, croissants, green barley, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, and five barrels of beer and red wine from the barn and deliver them to the north gate of the outpost. ”

"There's going to be a banquet tonight to celebrate our victory on Zaibet Street."

"All food and alcohol brought to the North Gate Market will be sold at half price!"

Old Luca took the command.

"Yes!"

……

【Event: Victory Dinner】

[Description: The guns of justice put an end to the tyranny of Bate Street, and our soldiers triumphed to the applause and cheers of the local residents!] Celebrate your victory, at the special stalls at the North Gate Market, food and drinks are half price! The proprietress of the weapons shop reminds you that although good wine is good, you should not be greedy. 】

6 p.m. sharp.

At the north gate of the outpost, a grand gala was held to celebrate the victory during the day.

The NPCs in charge of the warehouse set up a special stall at the North Gate Market, where half-price food was put on the table for players to choose and buy.

As the first in-game event since the launch of "Wasteland Online", both new and old players are excited and have participated with 200% enthusiasm.

Of course, mainly because the food is half price!

In the past, you could buy 300g of raw meat for 1 silver coin, but now you can buy it for only 5 copper coins. There are also croissants and barley, as well as recently updated cabbage, Chinese cabbage, etc., which can be bought for very little money now, so when will you not buy them now?

Thanks to the slow replenishment speed of the special price booth, the purchasing power of players is limited, otherwise such a cheap food will be sold out at the beginning of the event!

"Wow, sister, sister, the food sold at that stall is so cheap! And vegetables! Akiba, who had sneaked out to join in the fun, ran back to her sister excitedly, took her arm and said, "I'll go talk to the guys in the clan!" ”

Akikusa looked at her sister worriedly.

"Can we buy those things?"

Akiba nodded excitedly.

"Yes! I've asked the stall owner! As long as there are those little coins, anyone can buy them! ”

"That'...... You go and come back quickly. ”

"Hmmm! Leave it to me! ”

After getting her sister's permission, Autumn Leaves didn't stop for a moment, and ran in the direction of the tribe in a hurry, for fear that if she ran slowly, there would be nothing when she came back.

Looking at her sister who ran away, Qiucao took out the coins stored in the bag and counted them, a total of 11 silver coins and 24 copper coins.

"Half price...... You can buy more than 20 kilograms of grain. ”

A happy smile appeared on Akikusa's face.

Fortunately, she persuaded the patriarch to save the money she earned, and now she can exchange it for more food.

No one should starve to death this winter.

The Akikusa and Akiba sisters are still worried about whether the people in the clan will starve, and the players over there are already complaining about the lack of stomachs.

"Damn! Why can't you make the tail have two stomachs! ”

Holding a skewer in one hand and a glass full of beer in the other, her tail's cheeks bulging into hamsters, it was hard for her to talk while chewing.

Looking at her friend whose image had collapsed, Si Si, who was tasting wine, glanced at her.

"Ah Wei, do you know that you look like an uncle now?"

Finally swallowed the food in his mouth, turned his head with a burping tail, and said nonchalantly.

"It's all already in the game world! If you still want to control your diet, what's the difference between that trash game and "Earth Online"! Such delicious food is not something that can be eaten every day, As, you are too serious, let it go! ”

Siss: "......"

This guy.

As soon as I got into the game, I was completely free of myself.

Obviously she's quite a lady in reality.

Not far away, a certain white bear was happily eating a whole grilled catfish, and the appearance of eating it was the envy of nearby players.

Of course, the most envious and jealous of a certain lizard is still hated.

They are also xenomorph players, some of whom are eating and drinking outside, while others can only watch from the shelter.

Junk Jun has been hanging up in the shelter for a while.

Every day when I go online, I don't do anything else, just wander around on the B2 floor, touch here, look there, either exercise or wait for friends to feed, wait for six o'clock to get off the line on time, wash up and go out to work.

In the game, the real-life body is equivalent to deep sleep. Take the helmet with you at ten o'clock every day, and as soon as the next day dawns, you can go out to work with a hundred times more energy, even if you can't do anything, the function of sleeping in this second alone is also excellent.

To cheer up the festivities, mosquitoes lit homemade fireworks in the open space at the north entrance.

As a result, I don't know if there was a problem with the recipe or the wrong ignition posture, a sky monkey flew to the stall of Fuji Teng.

Luckily, no one was hurt.

Only the mosquitoes were chased by the murderous vines, wielding scissors, for hundreds of meters.

Eventually, the storm ended with Mosquito tearfully buying all the burned dog fur coats.

Except for this episode, the posture of most players enjoying the banquet is relatively normal, and the life professional players take advantage of the ingredients to cook the specialties of the wasteland into edible dishes in different ways.

The normal ones are white oak roasted deer leg steaks, and the abnormal ones are pine nut sage soup and salt-roasted devil moth pupa.

Well, the chrysalis of the devil moth can actually be eaten, but it still takes a little courage to eat insects.

The entire north entrance is filled with the aroma of delicious food.

It's not just food, it's wine.

Ten half-man tall oak barrels, placed next to the special price booth, next to the wooden cups, next to the sign read—

[A glass of beer 2 silver coins, a glass of wine 10 silver coins, now sold at a special price of 50%! ] 】

[Note: Each person is limited to one cup at a time, and you can buy it again after drinking, no waste!] Violators will be fined! 】

The cup is a wooden cup salvaged from the old mayor's castle, and the amount of a cup is about 330ml.

Like the food at the bargain stalls, all drinks are half price, and players who participate in the daytime fight against local tyrants can also get a free drink.

Even if you don't drink it, you can sell your cup to other players.

However, I believe that no one can refuse the opportunity to taste fine wine in the game. Even if you get drunk here, it won't affect the next day's work.

Some of the little players drank staggered, and even more lay directly on the ground, fluttering every once in a while, probably fighting against the network connection.

"Gan! It is recommended that game companies open the pain adjustment function! ”

"That's it! I can't feel that drunkenness at all! What's the point of drinking? ”

"Hiccup......

The two drunken little players shouted, and the crows not far away stuck out their tongues, holding wine glasses in their hands, with a bitter melon on their faces.

"Yue, it turns out that wine is bitter!"

Fujito glanced at her: "You haven't drunk it in reality?" ”

Raven shook her head into a rattle.

"Alcohol allergy...... But I don't regret it when it tastes so bad. ”

Akiba, who ran back to the village to shout before, ran back with everyone at this time.

Looking at the excitement and prosperity of the celebration, the eyes of these nomads were full of curiosity, surprise, and deep envy!

Barbecue!

Scone!

And wine!

It's just too rich!

Not far away, the cattle and horse squads that formed a group to brush the "greenhouse ruins" played with the mole brother and other high-ranking players, and were pulling the loot back with a caravan.

Looking at the lively appearance at the north gate, everyone was stunned at first, and soon the VM on the arm received the activity pop-up window, and they were instantly dumbfounded.

"Damn, what's the situation?"

"Victory dinner?!"

"War?! What the hell, as soon as I came back, I was already done?! ”

Looking at the old acquaintances with a confused face, who were eating skewers and drinking beer at the north gate, he said with a smile.

"It's over! Bett Street will be our territory from now on! ”

Ye Shi came back to his senses and asked.

"Is it our territory? I'm giao, do you have any top-notch equipment? ”

Someone under the knife shook his head.

"No, but the quest reward is okay, 50 credits. I don't know if the rules of war have changed, or if the reward rules for invasion and defense are originally different. This time, there was no auction, so money and contributions were given, and there was a chance to draw a lottery. The lottery is a little interesting.,But there's nothing good.,It's probably planned to shoehorn in to test the lottery system.,I don't understand.。 ”

Lao Bai glanced at the large handful of skewers in his hand, and it was obvious that this was not the amount that could be eaten in a while.

"Don't you go to work during the day? Why aren't you offline? ”

The knife said with a smile.

"Tomorrow Saturday, I'll go to Mao's class."

"You still have two days off!" Lao Bai looked envious, "This is too cool." ”

"There's less to do, there's less money, it's not interesting. Sometimes I feel like it's the same with or without this unit. The person who drank and ate meat suddenly sighed and expressed the thoughts of many players, "If only it could be online 24 hours a day!" ”
