Chapter 155: NPCs are running out of people
After sending Chu Guang away, Li Desi, who returned to the Trailblazer, thought about it, and finally filled in a line of reasons for his recommendation that he thought was appropriate on the electronic application form-
"It's an ideal caravanserais, they don't have any specialties, but they can buy delicious food at a cheap price without worrying about having their throats cut in their sleep. If you're planning to travel further west to the provinces, it's safer to stay here than anywhere else, and I vouch for it with my credit score, they can be trusted. β
Also at the check-in point were the electronic signatures of dozens of other crew members on the Trailblazer.
The encrypted letter will be sent to the Board of Directors of Silver Wing, which will respond within three days.
Li De felt that the problem should not be big.
After all, even Captain Lu left his signature.
The sacrifices they made in this battle deserve the respect that those blue coats deserve.
As for setting up a factory or something......
To be honest, after walking this way, it was the first time that Li De had heard of such a whimsical request. Will any bank be willing to lend money to such a high-risk project?
Hard.
In any case, he couldn't interfere with this kind of thing, and the Pioneer didn't come here to open up the market, so there was no way to call a dozen caravans with one phone call.
Li De suggested that Chu Guang could go and talk to them about this kind of cooperation when a caravan from a company passed by their doorstep, but he didn't have to get his hopes up.
After all, doing business in the wasteland is inherently risky, opening a factory in the province of River Valley, which is not controlled by the company......
How are those caravans going to bring back the profits?
Who can guarantee their interests?
It's a question worth pondering, and it's not something that can be done with a little cleverness.
However, these questions that are worth pondering in Li De's eyes are not problems in Chu Guang's eyes.
Whether it can be negotiated is one thing, and whether there is an opportunity to talk is another.
Moreover, if it is really like what Li De said, after obtaining the title of "permanent partner of the enterprise", there will be a large number of enterprise caravans to include them in the trade route. Even if you can't run a factory, you can make money by opening a post station and setting up a barbecue stall.
At that point, CR is not useless waste paper. When there are more caravans, are you still worried that no one is interested in this market?
The huge flow of caravans is also a kind of market in itself. The biggest advantage of Vault 404 over Boulder City is that it is closer to the suburbs and has more convenient transportation.
Whether it is used as a trade node for corporate caravans to travel between the central and even western regions, or as a trade hub for foreign caravans and local merchants in Qingquan City, it can generate a considerable amount of income for the outpost.
Epic enhancements for life pro gamers!
It's amazing.
β¦β¦
At the north entrance of the outpost, torches flickered in the snow.
It's twelve o'clock in the morning in the wasteland, and it's noon on the other side of reality.
Except for a few unfinished pro players in the living area, most of the players went offline for dinner.
After all, it's impossible to be online 24 hours a day, even if the player's real-life body can resist it, the clones in the game will have to close their eyes and rest.
Otherwise, there will be a "fatigue debuff" on the VM, which will directly affect the next day's productivity.
Chu Guang, who was wearing a Type 5 police light exoskeleton, came from the north, and the wrench patrolling at the door happened to see him, and immediately stepped forward to salute.
"Your Excellency, you're back."
Chu Guang nodded.
"Well, what about the loot?"
Wrench debriefed.
"Half of it has been unloaded, and half of it is still on the truck! There are so many things that Luca Sr. said that tomorrow he would find a few people to build a new warehouse and put them in the munitions. β
Chu Guang nodded.
Arms do have to be kept separate from other supplies.
Later, as the outpost became more and more resourceful, each type of resource would build a separate warehouse and hire a specialist to keep it.
Thinking of this, Chu Guang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
There aren't enough NPCs.
If only the literacy class on Old Charlie's side had been faster.
If Vault 404 gets the title of "Permanent Partner of the Enterprise", there will definitely be a caravan of enterprises passing through here in the spring of the next year.
He will need more manpower when the time comes.
Chu Guang couldn't help but wonder in his heart, should it also be time to open a literacy class for the nomads' camp? It's not easy to arrange a job for them if they don't have a culture.
Passing through the door of the outpost, Chu Guang noticed that the lights of the weapons shop were still on, and saw a figure standing at the door with a cane.
also saw Chu Guang coming from the north gate, Xia Yan, whose cheeks were red from cold, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and limped up with a cane.
"You're back, I'm going to send a mission to find you."
Chu Guang glanced at the VM she was wearing on her arm and teased.
"I'm glad you are getting more and more proficient."
Xia Yan raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, when a voice suddenly floated from the direction of the sanatorium.
"Woo woo, master!"
The wastebasket-shaped robot rushed to Chu Guang's side and happily circled his calf several times.
"Master, you're finally back! The electronic pulse outside just now is so big, Xiaoqi is so worried about you! β
Chu Guang gently patted Xiao Qi's head and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, that thing doesn't affect me, but you're okay, right?"
Xiao Qi: "Xiao Qi's words are fine!" That level of EMP doesn't affect Xiaoqi! β
Hey?
You're brave enough to say that.
Chu Guang touched its round head, and found that he had touched the ash in his hand, and it seemed that it was time to find an opportunity to give it a bath.
Looking at Chu Guang, who was only concerned about interacting with the robot pet, Xia Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes, coughed lightly to remind him that he was still here, and continued.
"What the hell is going on up there? That one...... Is it really a nuclear explosion? β
Chu Guang picked up a ball of snow from the door of the weapon shop and washed the ash off his hand.
"A small nuclear bomb, about 10 tons, it's not a big problem."
Xia Yan was stunned.
ββ¦β¦ Is it the Legion? β
"Well, it's a thousand-man brigade, led by a thousand-captain named Vanus, and it is said that when Lujan led someone to find him, the guy poured a glass of red wine and calmly asked him if he wanted to have a drink together. More than 2,000 clone light infantry, blood filled the trenches...... But in any case, now their equipment is ours. β
Looking at the smile on Chu Guang's face, Xia Yan said worriedly.
"I've always felt like you're a little too optimistic."
"Where?"
"In all respects," Xia Yan sighed, and continued, "a year ago, the Legion's expeditionary force was fighting the people of the Great Rift Valley in the north, and it was known as a million-strong army...... In fact, it's pretty much the same number. Do you know what that means? Brigades of thousands like this, they don't know how many. β
Chu Guang raised his hand and stopped her words.
"You want to say that we shouldn't be involved in this war, right?"
Xia Yan nodded with a serious expression.
"It's not a wise decision to meddle in the affairs between the Legion and the Enterprise, and if you let the people of the Legion know that it was your meddling that caused them to lose a thousand-man brigade, what would you do if you were their commander?"
"Me?" Chu Guang smiled and said, "It depends on what I'm doing, if the battle situation on the front line is tight, I will put this trouble aside first, and then clean him up when I have my hands free." β
Xia Yan looked at him in disbelief.
"If you know, you're-"
"So you think they're going well?" Chu Guang said lightly, "If it really goes so well, they won't come to the south to desert." It's just that this battle can't be fought anymore, and I plan to make a little bit of money before retreating. β
Xia Yan: "...... This is just an ideal analysis, those people are predators, and they don't think everything so deeply. β
Chu Guang said with a smile.
"I know I'm thinking from their shoes. So have you ever wondered what would have happened if this force hadn't caught the Trailblazer? β
Xia Yan was slightly stunned.
ββ¦β¦ Didn't get caught? β
Does this have anything to do with the topic they discussed earlier?
Xia Yan couldn't help but be a little confused.
Chu Guang nodded.
"Yes, whether it's a war or a contract, you have to be prepared for both, after all, things can't always go as smoothly as you think. The situation is optimistic, they successfully intercepted the Trailblazer, then the supply of 2,000 people is easy to say, directly from the body of the fat sheep. β
After a pause, he continued.
"But in fact, they're actually a step slower. If it weren't for the Pioneer anchoring in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, they would probably have really missed this fat sheep. Five light trucks, the supplies they carried were simply not enough for them to survive the entire winter, and it was impossible to travel hundreds of kilometers back with such heavy snow...... What do you think they would have done then? Standing silent in the snow? Or look at the ruts on the ground and scold your mother? β
Xia Yan fell into deep thought, and her expression was a little troubled.
Apparently this is beyond the thinking boundaries of a small mercenary.
She only thought that attacking the Legion might incur the Legion's revenge, but she didn't expect that it would be the same whether she provoked it or not.
Looking at her laborious appearance, Chu Guang said leisurely.
"If they dare to set off before winter, they must be ready for both. Let's put it this way, the survivors who plundered the northern part of Qingquan City were originally on their alternative plan. So what difference does it make to provoke them or not to provoke them? They're ready to provoke us anyway. β
In fact, even if the Legion were to succeed in intercepting the Trailblazer, the second scenario was entirely possible.
Being organized does not mean being disciplined, and as corporations say about them, the so-called legions are nothing more than a group of organized predators.
From the moment they set out, the war was predestined.
But happily, this lazy little employee now knows how to share his worries as a boss.
That's a great thing.
It seems that he has a good way of training.
Patting her on the shoulder, Chu Guang gave her an approving look.
Remember this sentence, Gou is just an expedient measure, and the development space is played out after all. If you don't understand, don't think about it, anyway, you don't have to worry about it, it's better to think about more happy things. A large number of weapons and pensions, as well as a free industrial machine and the title of permanent partner of the enterprise...... These things are enough for us for a long time. β
For the future, Chu Guang's heart is full of confidence.
As long as he develops, it doesn't matter what legion, enterprise, or academy he has, it won't be a problem for him.
When the fire of industry is ignited, the infinite production capacity is matched with the infinite vitality, and his players will be the strongest!
β¦β¦
Nothing was said all night.
Chu Guang had a long dream.
He dreamed of himself as a machine gunner, crouched in a bunker with the Legion's army of million-strong clones in front of him, surrounded by cannon fire and the whimpering of airplanes in the sky.
And the players who should have charged in front of him are all standing behind him, muttering and muttering.
"Raise the muzzle a little more!" "Spot-shot, point-and-shoot will?" Aim and hit again! "Can you pull the trigger and don't let go?" Save bullets for whom! "The machine gunner moved five meters to the left, hey, I was in a hurry! ββ¦β¦
Chu Guang was on fire at that time, turned the muzzle of the gun abruptly, swept them all, and finally left the biggest chest that he couldn't bear to start.
And then ......
Wake up from a dream?
"Damn...... I had to change the sheets again. β
Sweating all over, Chu Guang, who got up from bed early in the morning, felt like he had done push-ups all night, and every cell in his body was expanding.
Accustomed to growing his body while sleeping, Chu Guang calmly went to the B2 floor to take a shower, and then returned to the resident hall to check himself.
As Chu Guang expected.
This time it's upgraded again.

"This wave should be rubbing away from the player's experience."
The physique attribute increases a little, and the metabolic ability and toughness are improved, which is still very useful for Chu Guang, who can't be resurrected.
Looking at the physical examination form, Chu Guang touched his chin with interest, and continued to himself, "But such a big battle has only been upgraded by one level, and it seems that the posture of rubbing experience still needs to be improved." β
The promotion conditions of the manager sequence are very vague, unlike other departments, where you can figure out the promotion method by reading the literal meaning.
Putting aside the matter of level for the time being, Chu Guang sat in front of the computer and opened the official website.
Chu Guang wanted to see what the players thought of the big battle last night, but just after a glance, good guy, more than a hundred withdrawal reactions have begun to attack.
"Ahhh
"I can't dance with the little man's hand anymore."
"Without Xiaoyu's good morning and attention to safety, I feel like I have no motivation to go to work! The boss scolded me today, and I actually glared back, feeling as if he was scared, am I going to start preparing a new resume? β
"Damn! I really want to fry something! I just got the recipe for Black Sorkin and was about to try it. β
"Why don't you try it in reality?"
"Fuck off, you want me to die!!"
"In the 12th hour of not being able to go online, I experienced the pain of the makabazi brother and the quit smoking brother, and I couldn't breathe in pain."
"Woo woo, planner Dad, please, let me go up!"
Chu Guang: "......"
Depend on!
I can't get on the line for a few days, as for it?
I didn't expect these players to be so addicted.
Chu Guang was still thinking about letting them take a few days off and relax in reality, but now it seems that he is thinking too much, and these little players are more anxious than himself to get on the clock.
Especially the quit-smoking guy, I feel that the word sadness has become a river in his post. According to his own account, after going offline yesterday, he slept with his helmet on for the rest of the night.
Anyway, can you fall asleep?
Looking at the discussion of the cattle and horses before, Chu Guang vaguely remembered that if he was wearing a helmet, it seemed that no matter whether he opened or closed his eyes, he could see the countdown and the reminder of restricting logins, right?
Chu Guang couldn't figure out what was going on with the helmet, he just hoped that they wouldn't break their bodies, live a good life when they couldn't go online, and don't cause trouble to society.
As for the problem of not being able to get on the line, to be honest, Chu Guang is more anxious than them.
More than a quarter of the players in the "server" can't get on, and if it's a goose factory or a pig factory, it's not good if you don't lose 10,000 happy beans.
It can only be said that it is a closed beta.
Ah Guang: "Don't panic, everyone, we have worked overtime for 48 hours in a row to rush repairs, and all players who can't log in to the game normally because of bugs will be compensated!" In addition, players who die in a battlefield mission today will be awarded a limited medal! The auction of loot will also be held online, and you can claim it normally after going live, so you don't have to worry about missing out on equipment due to death! β
Quit smoking: "Brother Guang!! Woo woo, please, let your programmers hurry up! β
Night Ten: "If you can participate in the auction!" I want to shoot a sight! Red Dot YYDS! β
Tail: "Give Tail 5 credits!" Nothing happened to the tail! Give the tail 10 silver coins, and the tail will help wash the floor! (ο½βΒ΄)Ξ¨β
Siss: "Ah Wei, you're not dead, what's the fun." β
Tail: "!! Damn, has Sisi been bought by an evil plan! Pass it on, Sisi is not clean! β
Siss: "??? β
β¦β¦
At the same time, the prison next to the camp of the operation.
Yuan Hao, who was wearing a padded jacket, turned off the off-road vehicle, threw a basket of potatoes at the door, and shouted coldly.
"It's time to eat."
The prison door opened.
Looking at Vanus who came out of it, Yuan Hao's right hand subconsciously touched the pistol on his waist, watching out for his every move.
Seeing the guardedness of the man in front of him, Vanus didn't say anything, just picked up the box with the potatoes and turned back into the house.
Looking at the closed door, thinking of the blue coat and compatriots who died tragically in the battle that day, Yuan Hao couldn't help but spit at the door and returned to the car with a curse.
"These scumbags."
In his opinion, there is nothing polite to these people, they should not be allowed to live in a warm prison at all, they should be thrown in the snow and frozen into ice in the cold wind!
Give them potatoes to eat, it's cheaper for them!
