At night.

Chu Guang had a nightmare.

In the dream, he was covered with fluff and turned into a bear. In order to evade the hunters, he ran desperately through the forest, tearing apart a creeper with two paws, slapping a clawed crab to death, and finally punching a real bear away......

Wait, Lao Tzu even killed the claw crab, why should he be chased by the hunter?

At this moment, Chu Guang woke up from his dream.

The first thing after waking up, Chu Guang touched his whole body up and down, and found that he had no other changes except for a hot sweat.

Chu Guang breathed a sigh of relief.

It's dangerous!

Supporting the bed board with both hands, Chu Guang was about to sit up from the bed, but he didn't control his strength well, and one of them used too much force and jumped directly under the bed.

Inertia took two steps forward before he could stand firmly, and before Chu Guang could come back to his senses about what had happened, the bones crackled with the movement of his limbs.

After some activity, every cell in the body is more comfortable than ever, as if every pore is breathing.

Not only that, Chu Guang felt that his brain was unprecedentedly awake, and his vision was unprecedentedly clear, not at all like he had just gotten up, but like he had poured a few bottles of taurine.

What especially shocked Chu Guang was that standing by the bed could clearly see the texture printed on the doorknob!

Immediately realize what happened.

Chu Guang didn't stay in the room for a moment, and without saying a word, he ran to the resident hall and used the physical examination equipment placed there to do a full body examination for himself.

As he expected.

This awakening has escalated again!

Phase 2!

All stats increased by 5 points!?

"Damn, that's so cool."

You can upgrade while lying down!

Looking at the physical examination results entered into the VM screen, Chu Guangle's mouth couldn't close.

Sure enough, as he guessed, LV10 is a bottleneck, and once the development progress of the gene sequence breaks through this bottleneck, the strength will usher in a qualitative leap!

"All stats plus 5, plus an additional talent...... Is this what the Wasteland natives call 'awakening'? ”

Chu Guang still remembered that he first heard the word from Hain, who was from Honghe Town.

And in the subsequent battle with the "bear", the "bear" who was cornered appeared similar to the phenomenon of "xenogeneity", not surprisingly, it should also be regarded as a situation of awakening.

However, in Vault 404, this phenomenon seems to be referred to as the second stage of the genetic sequence.

Unlike the "bear" who awakened naturally, his appearance and traits did not change significantly due to awakening.

The only changes I can feel are that I have more strength, my mind is more agile, my perception of my surroundings is keen, my reaction speed is faster, and my resilience and immunity are stronger.

Chu Guang roughly speculated that the bonuses provided by the second stage of different sequences should be different, and the unlocked talents should also be different. For example, the strength system should focus more on strengthening the muscles, and the agility system will focus more on reflex nerves and so on.

All this is just speculation, though.

At present, in the entire shelter, only he has reached the second stage, and the fastest leveling team among other players is only the peak of LV7.

As for what the other sequences are, they will only know when they practice to LV10.

Anyway, for the second stage of the "manager" sequence he held, Chu Guang was quite satisfied.

5 points of all attributes are improved, and you can directly become a pentagonal warrior in seconds. Coupled with that "Fear Debuff" skill, he feels invincible!

Footsteps could be heard in the hallway on one side.

Yawning, Xia Yan, who had just woken up, walked out of the room with a cane in his arm.

Looking at Chu Guang, who was smirking there with a VM, she was stunned for a moment with sleepy eyes, and muttered in a low voice.

"Look at something good, smile like this."

The smile on his face quickly retracted, and Chu Guang raised his head awkwardly, looked towards Xia Yan, and stared into her eyes.

The two looked at each other.

The air was quiet for a few seconds.

The white cheeks gradually turned crimson.

"God, neurotic."

Xia Yan, who turned his head, walked away with a cane.

Seeing the back of the twisted and twisted towards the buffer room, Chu Guang touched his chin and thought for a moment, and suddenly looked at the wastepaper basket squatting in the corner of the wall to charge.

"Xiaoqi."

The signal light above his head lit up, and Xiao Qi raised the camera that was lying flat.

"Yes, master."

Chu Guang then asked.

"Is she scared?"

Xiao Qi seemed to be stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he spoke weakly.

Although the target's blood pressure, heart rate, and heat dissipation have all increased slightly, Xiaoqi feels ...... That shouldn't be what you're looking for, right? ”

Chu Guang: "......"

All right.

Maybe it's because the facial features are too handsome and don't look so intimidating.

This skill is still a bit of a chicken rib for myself.

……

Bate Street.

The square in front of the castle was crowded with people.

The residents of Bate Street were called here early in the morning, and many of them had just woken up shortly after they had fallen asleep, with dazed and curious faces on their faces.

For the residents who live here, many have never been here in their lifetime.

The old mayor's family couldn't see the poor, so every time they got closer, they would be chased away by the guards patrolling nearby.

But now it's different, the old mayor's family has been driven away.

Although a new mayor has come to power, at least this new mayor is an old acquaintance with whom they have dealt with each other, and he is always much more cordial than the vampire they have never met.

Facing the eyes of a pair of eyes looking at him, old Charlie took out a piece of paper with a signature and date from his bosom, cleared his throat, and spoke.

"As of today, the first Code of Bate Street is officially in force! It will commit to and protect the legitimate rights and interests of all residents of Bate Street. ”

"The rules are simple: those who intentionally kill are punished by hanging, those who cause minor injuries in a brawl are sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour for a period of not less than one year, and those who cause serious injuries in a brawl are to be sentenced to imprisonment and hard labour for a term of not less than three years. In addition, those who steal or maliciously destroy property shall be punished with imprisonment, hard labour and caning, depending on the amount involved......"

There are about 20 old check concepts, and the vast majority of people can understand only a dozen.

The people in the square looked at each other.

Code?

Many of them have heard this strange word for the first time.

Although there were guards on Bate Street, the guards never dealt with the disputes of the residents, and they were only responsible for the security of the castle and the walls.

There have been no killings over the years, and there have been frequent fights, but no injuries have been made.

After all, in these years, it is already very difficult to live, and no one wants to offend others easily. Even if it is not out of moral constraints, everyone will weigh the pros and cons against the consequences of disrupting the order.

As for stealing......

Anyway, digging up the croissants at other people's doors is considered stealing?

What should I do with this thing?

Looking at the residents who were looking at each other, old Charlie knew what was going on in their hearts, but he didn't explain anything.

There is no need to explain.

They don't understand anything that's too difficult.

There is no point in merely writing down a law on paper, and after it has been strictly enforced once, it is natural that someone will weigh the consequences of violating it.

After a pause, old Charlie continued.

"From today onwards, the official currency of Bate Street will be silver and copper, and food, groceries, clothes and other supplies can be purchased at the grocery store operated by the street office. The original chips can still be used, but can only be used to buy food and salt. In addition, rewards for scavenging and hunting will no longer be paid with chips. The current exchange ratio of chips to silver coins is tentatively one chip can be exchanged for one silver coin, and after one month, chips can only be exchanged for 5 copper coins. ”

The words fell, and there was a sudden sound of discussion around him.

"Bad chips?"

"Why do you want to change to silver and copper coins......"

"That's it! I've never heard of silver or copper coins or anything. ”

"Do you change it?"

"I won't change!"

"Only fools change!"

When he said this, many people were secretly observing the expression on Old Charlie's face.

They thought that old Charlie would panic and even get anxious.

However, to the disappointment of those people, old Charlie did not pay any attention to their complaints, and still had that calm expression, as if he had not heard them at all.

Yu Hu, who was standing in the crowd, was more anxious than Old Charlie.

Unlike the rest of the residents of Bate Street, he had seen the silver and bronze coins that the blue coats in the Wetland Park used to buy things, and they could buy a lot of good things.

Now some people actually say that a fool only uses chips to exchange those silver coins, where can he bear it?

However, just when he wanted to explain, Yu Xiong, who was standing on the side, saw his plan at a glance and immediately reached out and pulled him.

"Brother, what are you pulling me for?"

Looking at his indignant younger brother and shaking his head, Yu Xiong said in a serious tone.

"What can you say to them? What's the point of arguing other than fighting? ”

Yu Hu looked anxious.

"But—"

"There's nothing to think of, even things you can think of, Brother Chu can't think of it? Since he has made this decision, he must have his thoughts and intentions. As for us, just do our job well, don't be too busy and don't help, and cause a lot of trouble for people! ”

After being reprimanded by his brother, Yu Hu finally quieted down.

I didn't understand it before, but when I heard my brother say this, it seems to make some sense.

Brother Chu is such a smart person, would he not be able to consider the current situation?

Thinking of this, Yu Hu suddenly relaxed, looking at the thorns who shouted to kill and not exchange their chips for silver coins, he only felt that they looked like fools.

Hehe.

Wait and see!

When I get back, I'll exchange all the chips at home for silver coins, and see who suffers when I see it!

Yu Hu and Yu Xiong's father was silent, but he obviously had his own ideas in his heart.

"Chips are not in a hurry to change."

The index finger tapped the eldest son's arm, and Lao Yu lowered his voice and said.

"If you have received silver coins and don't want them, let's exchange them for chips...... It should be possible to change more. ”

Yu Xiong was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what his father meant, and nodded.

"Good!"

There was enough time for the surrounding residents to discuss, and when they had had enough to discuss, old Charlie spoke slowly and continued to talk about other arrangements.

For example, the Guards.

Although the original guard was disbanded, Bate Street could not be left undefended for a day.

The captain of the guard is temporarily Yu Xiong, the eldest son of the Yu family, and at the same time, 15 young people under the age of 35 and over the age of 14 are openly recruited to form a new guard team.

The daily work of the Guard is patrol and stand guard, as well as training.

The intensity of the work is not high, and there is no need to risk your life, at least it is safer than going to scavenger in the ruins and standing behind the bunker of the wall.

As for the salary, in addition to food and housing, the street office will also pay each guard a salary every month.

This figure is currently 50 silver coins, and it may rise in the future.

Although there is no specific idea of the purchasing power of silver coins, I heard old Charlie say that in the grocery store run by the street office, a silver coin can be exchanged for a kilogram of croissant or barley.

50 silver coins a month, that's 50 kilograms of grain.

Some of the money can also be used to change salt or other daily necessities at the grocery store, which is enough for the family!

After Old Charlie's words fell, many people showed eager expressions on their faces, planning to wait a while to press a handprint and sign up for a try.

If you choose, you won't have to worry about starving all winter!

“…… In addition, the Central Castle of Bate Street will open a welfare school, which is currently offering two courses: literacy and numeracy. ”

"All young people who are at least 6 years old and under 14 years old must complete two semesters of coursework. During the school day, students will be provided with a free lunch.

"Young people over the age of 14 can independently sign up for adult classes from 7 to 9 p.m. at no charge. Two courses with passing grades lead to a position in the street office. ”

Obviously, the vast majority of the residents of Bate Street were not very interested in this so-called school compared to the recruitment of the guards, and did not see it as a benefit.

However, this kind of thing is still quite attractive.

Even if you only take care of the children's food, you can save some food for the family to survive the winter.

Regardless of whether the inhabitants of Bate Street are interested in literacy and numeracy, literacy is a must.

Establishing order is the first step, and getting rid of ignorance is the second step.

Looking at the survivors whose faces were full of ignorance, old Charlie sighed softly in his heart.

There's a long way to go.

After all the arrangements were explained, Old Charlie immediately announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Except for those who were going to sign up for the guard, they stayed, and the rest of the residents went back to their homes.

Many people will go out hunting for a while, so before the sky is completely light, they hurry home to pack their equipment.

On the way home, Wang Defu, the third son of the Wang family, complained with an indignant face.

"Why do you want someone from the Yu family to be the captain of the guard? There are only two men in their family, why! ”

Not only was he dissatisfied, but his two older brothers were obviously not happy either.

Especially his eldest brother Wang Biao.

Until old Charlie opened his mouth to announce the selection of the captain of the guard, he had a happy expression.

After all, from beginning to end, he thought he was old Charlie's man.

However, the moment old Charlie announced the selection of the captain of the guard, he felt that the whole world instantly turned gray, and his face became even more ugly than eating poop.

Why?

Obviously, he risked his life to deliver the letter to the Bloody Hand Clan, and it was obviously he who took care of his mouth and kept the secret that the Bloody Hand Clan had been destroyed for Old Charlie.

As a result, it was actually someone from the Yu family who became the captain of the guard?

After hearing this arrangement, he felt that the chips in his pocket were not fragrant......
