Greenhouse ruins.

One floor above ground.

The place where players fought bloody battles has now become a lush botanical garden. Soilless cultivation boxes are filled with corn, stacked like containers, arranged in layers.

The situation here was terrible.

The first paddling guy was left with a VM to be brought back, and the second wave of people who went in was almost wiped out, until Brother Mole developed the "shield wall play", which was considered to be a breakthrough.

But then everyone's equipment went up, and it was much easier to brush this book.

Lao Bai, who was wearing heavy armor, carried it in front, and the player in the back row directly held a submachine gun, and suddenly burst into a shuttle 9mm.

Hit someone?

What does it matter.

The 9mm pistol bullet hits the steel plate, and it can't be pierced anyway, leaving a few holes in the steel plate at most.

This large-caliber, low-velocity projectile works wonders against unarmored insect xenos.

Originally, their stomachs were filled with water and glue, and 7mm could not make a hole in their body, but if they changed to 9mm, they could explode directly.

After the first layer was opened, Chu Guang immediately issued a task and asked the player to come and plant corn.

Now, three months have passed, and more than 90 days have been added up to the green poles, and the golden yellow wrapped in leaves has been hung on the emerald green poles.

Looking at the ripe corn field in front of him, Chu Guang nodded approvingly with an old fatherly smile on his face.

"Well done!"

The seeds given by the shelter have been genetically modified and grow relatively quickly.

In reality, even early maturing varieties take 100 days to ripen, but here it takes about 90 days.

That's right.

I almost forgot about business.

Sensing the expectant eyes behind him, Chu Guang, who came back to his senses, raised his index finger silently, and stretched out his hand to scratch it on the VM.

Soon.

The list of task settlement was sent to the VM of Macabazi.

[Mission: Harvest Day (Completed)]

[Rewards: 1000 credits, 500 contributions, 2000 regional reputation.] 】

"! Awesome! ”

"Four-Digit Bonus !!"

Looking at the series of rewards that popped up, Makabazi burst into tears of excitement.

500 points of contribution will not be mentioned.

Faction contribution is a good thing at all times, whether it is buying equipment, doing tasks, or buying industries, it is linked to this thing.

The only regret is that the prestige of the region is given to the outpost, not to the long-term farm.

He now has reached the prestige of "friendly" farm, and he is almost able to cross the 10,000 threshold to reach respect.

Just when Brother Maca was excited, a line of words that jumped out of the VM made him almost faint with happiness.

[Congratulations to the player "Makabazi" for being the first player to harvest corn.] 】

[Please select whether to announce the whole server: yes/no]

Looking at the surprise that popped up suddenly, Makabazi shouted almost reflexively.

“yes！ yes！ ”

Although Chu Guang really wanted to remind this guy, in fact, it was okay to shout out, just reach out and tap on the VM screen.

But seeing that this little player was so excited, Chu Guang didn't disappoint him.

It's been three months.

It's not easy to persevere.

From sowing to final harvesting, each step has a corresponding task, and a series of tasks form a whole chain of tasks.

Because the automatic watering and harvesting system at the greenhouse site has been damaged, many of the tasks that could have been done by machines are now done manually.

Including watering and fertilizing.

Although these tasks are rewarded, they are still a bit more boring than hunting and picking up trash.

The three-month mission cycle can persist until the crops are ripe, and this makaba brother is also a strange person.

At least in Chu Guang's mind, he was compared to the fishing guy who would go to the lake every day to sit regardless of the wind or snow!

[Serverwide Announcement: Player "Macabazi" successfully harvested the first batch of corn. 】

Looking at the window that appeared on the VM, Makabazi was excited to roll in the cornfield.

If it weren't for the manager's side, he wouldn't have done it.

"Hahahaha! Lao Tzu is also the first person to kill in the whole server!! ”

Chu Guang looked at the little player with a smile on his face.

"Can I leave the harvest to you?"

"Don't worry, Administrator!"

Makabazi patted his chest and continued with a fluttering eyebrow.

"I can even help you get to the granary!"

Chu Guang said.

"That's not necessary, it's too much work, I'll arrange for someone to help you."

Retracting his gaze from Makabazi, Chu Guang continued to look at the corn field in front of him, and his face couldn't help but show a faint joy.

Is this what a good harvest feels like?

That's good.

……

A new task was assigned to Brother Maca, and Chu Guang immediately left the greenhouse ruins, returned to the outpost to find Guo Ma, and explained the harvest work.

With so many crops, relying on Makaba alone, I am afraid that he may not be able to finish his work when he is exhausted.

What's more, the harvest is not just about tearing the corn off the stalks, after which it has to be deseeded, dried, and stored in storage.

Doing this work in the ruins is more troublesome than sowing the seeds.

There are not many tower soilless cultivation boxes on the first floor, and the actual planting area is slightly smaller than that of other floors, but there are nearly 50 acres of actual planting area.

According to the rough empirical estimate of planting area and density, the yield is around 25 tons, with an error of less than two tons.

Even in the case of unskilled planting and management experience and insufficient fertilization, the yield per mu of nearly 500 kilograms was still reached.

In addition to the first floor, there are other floors of the greenhouse site.

Not counting the reactor of the ninth layer and the devil moth nest of the tenth layer, the five floors above ground and the eight floors underground add up to a total of thirteen floors, and the theoretical planting area can reach 870 acres!

Up to now, the five floors on the surface and the four floors underground have been developed into farmland.

Half of the potatoes and half of the corn are planted, adding up to 600 acres.

These capacities will be gradually released in the next month, and the total output is estimated to reach 300~400 tons.

Together with other food sources such as hunting and breeding, it is enough for 3,000 people to eat for a year!

Of course, the player's actual food consumption cannot be simply calculated by a population.

Especially the awakened, not only their physical fitness and metabolism level far exceed that of ordinary people, but the amount of food is also close to two to three times that of ordinary people.

Even Chu Guang himself felt it.

In the beginning, he could eat two cans of food, but now he cans two cans at a time.

In a sense, this is also a kind of conservation of energy?

According to the actual consumption rate of food, the 300~400 tons of grain may only be enough to consume for half a year.

Even that is enough, though.

30,000 acres of wasteland were reclaimed, and the production efficiency in the first year was only half of that of the greenhouse ruins, and the food produced was enough for him to use several versions.

The part above the B4 floor of the greenhouse site is used for farming.

As for B5 to B9, Chu Guang did not plant all crops, but planned to keep the "Gu Cultivation" and harvest it once every few months, leaving the player to brush the Devil Moth repeatedly.

Spirit leaves, you can cut half and keep half.

After a round of cutting, open the gates from the B5 to B9 floors, and let the moths come in and lay their calves.

In this way, it is possible to achieve an assembly-line harvest.

Wait for the future Linghu. The 10,000 acres of fertile land on the north side have been reclaimed, and it is no problem to use the entire greenhouse to raise devil moths!

Whether it's spirit leaf or devil silk, it's a proper scarcity in the wasteland. can stably produce these two things, and I'm afraid he's the only one within a hundred miles.

……

"Damn?! Planting corn can also be fully served? ”

"Shady! Proper shady! ”

"Damn, even Boss Crow, even Makabazi dedicated his soul and ass to the planner?"

"Hey! I had known that I would have found a piece of land and sown the seeds! ”

"But from another point of view, the identity of the son of the life pro gamer version is also confirmed. Planting corn can be fully announced, and that kind of potato announcement is also reasonable at one time, right? ”

“！！！”

West side of Changjiu Farmstead.

The little players who were working on the wasteland with picks and shovels were chattering and noisy, and not far away there were tractors plowing the fields and dragging rakes in the field.

Turning back and forgetting to glance at the almost invisible wall, Daddy Silver panted and threw away the rake in his hand, and sat down beside the ridge with bared teeth and grinning.

"How long is this going to be?"

The silver sword swung his hoe without saying a word, and replied without raising his head.

"See how many event points you want to get."

Silver Daddy: "! Isn't there even a cap on this event? ”

Silver Sword: "No. ”

Silver Daddy: "??? ”

Why can't this be swept up to the sky?!

As we all know, when doing activities in general games, in addition to krypton, there is no upper limit on other rewards and points that can be obtained.

This is mainly to prevent players from over-exaggerating the stats.

But the game doesn't seem to have that tradition.

As long as you want, you can go down to the liver until the character's physical strength is exhausted, and the liver will trigger the "anti-addiction mechanism" physical drop.

The silver hand, who had not spoken, couldn't help but complain: "Anyway, aren't you a physique?" Why are you slower than us? ”

Daddy Silver rolled his eyes: "The devil knows! This game's constitution attribute only adds debuff resistance and recovery speed, and has nothing to do with Endurance Mao! And the two of you, didn't you say that one chose strength and the other chose agility, why did you choose two powers?! ”

"You're embarrassed to say us!"

"That's it! Didn't you say you chose the Department of Intelligence? ”

Seeing the two friends glaring at him, the silver father coughed embarrassedly, and said with a smile.

"I heard that the content of this game is quite rich, with a high physique and a fast recovery speed, so if you want to be online dating in the future...... You get the idea. ”

The Silver Hand and the Silver Sword glanced at each other.

Understand is understand.

But......

"I think that's a bit redundant."

"Indeed, I think too."

"Gan! What do you two mean? ”

The Silver Sword shrugged.

"It's nothing, I just think it's a bit difficult for you to want to go online with a broken ID."

The Silver Hand nodded.

"+1, shemales don't talk to you bird id."

Silver Daddy: "%¥#@!" ”

……

Just when the newcomers went to work in the fields, Boulder City, located on the edge of the Third Ring Road, welcomed a group of special guests.

"Is this the Boulder City?"

"This wall is built as ...... as a dam"

"Mom...... How much concrete does this have to use? ”

"I don't know ......"

A concrete wall as high as a 20-story building.

Counting the steel structure inside, the amount of cement and steel consumed is probably an astronomical amount.

On the way down from the elevated road, the eyes of Lao Bai, Ye Shi, and Storm couldn't move away from this wall.

Since he had been surprised once before, Fang Chang's expression was quite calm, and he coughed lightly and said.

"You're normal."

Yajuchi swallowed and withdrew his gaze from the giant wall.

"I think I'm normal, it's this game that's not normal!"

Tempest, who was standing aside, nodded.

“+1。”

Although it is a bit idealistic to say this, since this giant wall can be built, there is no reason why it will be blocked by the predators.

It doesn't make sense.

Unless the wall fell from the sky.

"These hillbillies."

Seeing that these people didn't know anything, the mercenary walking next to the team sneered in a low voice, but was glared at by the mercenary leader.

"Shut up."

Seeing the boss speak, the mercenary immediately closed his mouth and did not dare to speak again.

Retracting his gaze from his subordinates, the mercenary leader glanced in the direction of the men, and saw that they didn't notice this side, so he was slightly relieved.

These people are very strong.

It doesn't matter if it's the guy with the bow on his back, or the guy with the machine gun on his back.

Although this sounded a bit outrageous, his intuition told him that these two people might not be awakened!

The power that can keep the claws of death as a pet, he doesn't want to provoke them casually.

The goods are already about to be delivered, and it is not good for anyone to get into trouble at this time.

Got off the elevated.

Not far in front is the Far Wind Hotel, and the slum directly opposite the door.

As the group walked towards the door, many people were also looking at them, especially the goods carried on the backs of the two oxen.

When the children sitting at the door of the slum saw it, they seemed to see something, whispered a few words, and quickly ran back to the slum.

After a while, several men with skulls tattooed on their faces came out of the slums.

Seeing these people, Xu Shun calmly put his hand on his waist, Fang Chang and Lao Bai exchanged glances, and they also put their hands on the weapon.

Instead of showing any fear on their faces, several players showed a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Is this about to trigger the plot?

Hurry up!

Reading the tense atmosphere in the air, Shuyu's heart was already in his throat.

However, remembering that he represented Vault 404, he tried to keep the nervous expression on his face.

"Tommy, where did you get all these good things?" The bald man with a dagger tattooed on his face at the front threw a playful look at the mercenary leader.

The mercenary leader's face tensed, and he said expressionlessly.

"It's not my thing, but I'd advise you not to bother with these things, unless you don't think it's too much trouble."

"Ha, who's your employer?"

Before the mercenary leader could reply, a voice floated out of the ranks.

"Liszt."

Walking out of the line, Qian Lai looked at the bald head with a dagger tattooed on his face and continued.

"Any questions?"

Hearing Liszt's name, the bald man's face changed slightly, and his playful expression narrowed slightly.

"Of course, no problem, in fact, I just wanted to ask...... With so many herbs, do you need someone to help you sell them? We can help. ”

Qian Lai said impatiently.

"100 chips a kilogram, if you can buy them all, I can give you a 9% discount."

I'm afraid I will have to buy them all in tens of thousands of chips.

But......

If you can eat this batch of goods and refine it into spiritual water, I'm afraid it won't be a problem to double or triple it.

The bald man's expression was a little embarrassed, and he said in a deep voice.

“…… I'll have to ask my boss. ”

Qian Lai said succinctly.

"I can wait until eight o'clock tonight, you know how to contact me."

After touching the ashes, the minions returned to the slum.

Staring at their backs, Shuyu looked at Qian Lai and asked.

"They are?"

"The Dagger Gang, sometimes they tattoo the dagger on their face, sometimes they put it on their arms, don't care, you can't deal with these people."

Qian Lai then looked at Tommy's mercenary leader, and urged, "Let's go, if you stay here too long, there will be other flies flying over." ”

The group continued on the road, lining up at the city gate for inspection.

The militia in charge of the inspection had surprised expressions on their faces when they saw the goods on the back of the cows.

"Another shipment? Where the hell did you get that? ”

He remembered the man in front of him, who seemed to be the same guy a week ago.

Qian Lai opened his eyes and said nonsense: "The plantation in the south, the survivors there have a lot of stocks. ”

The militiaman apparently didn't believe his nonsense, but he didn't say anything, just hinted at it.

"I'm afraid I'll have to pay a lot of taxes on this thing."

"Of course, we are law-abiding citizens."

With a friendly smile on his face, Qian Lai quietly stuffed a bag of chips into their hands as he had done the last time he came.

The militiaman who collected the money opened the bag and glanced at it, smiled knowingly, pulled out two of them and stuffed them into his pocket, and then walked towards the table at the door.

"It's all vegetables."

The prefect in charge of registration glanced at the chip bag on the table and made two strokes in the notebook.

"Let them in."

Shuyu glanced at Qian Lai in slight surprise.

That's it?

Noticing his gaze, Qian Lai smiled and said in a soft voice.

"You don't have to pay taxes on food, so it's cheaper...... So you see, we're not cost-free. ”

Shuyu asked.

"Don't you have to check if you pay the money?"

Qian Lai thought for a moment and said.

"Not necessarily, depending on the situation, but also by the person. If you want to get contraband in, I'm afraid it's still a bit difficult. ”

Shuyu nodded thoughtfully.

Although he has not done business, he always feels that the situation here is much more complicated than in his hometown......

The entrance tax was paid.

The group entered the city smoothly.

According to the contract, the mercenaries sent them to the storage area and then paid them at the money lane.

The warehouse rented by Liszt is not far from the entrance of the storage area, and there is still some space inside, which is more than enough for a ton of goods.

After several people unloaded the goods together, Qian Lai asked the guard, who had bandages on his arms, to move the two-headed cow to the shed at the entrance of the reservoir area and return it, and then looked at Shuyu and the others who were traveling with him, and said with a smile.

"If you don't want to rent a warehouse, you can also store your goods with us, there aren't many things anyway."

Shuyu shook his head and politely declined.

"No, we're going to rent a storefront."

Qian Lai said politely.

"Are you in such a hurry? Boulder City is huge, you can take a look at it and pick a better place. ”

Shuyu shook his head.

"The manager told me to find a place near the warehouse."

The reservoir area of the megalith city is very close to the city gate, and there is a trading post across a street, and then there is a market for locals to buy things, and the traffic is still relatively convenient.

The office is just for convenience, there is no need to open it in a particularly prosperous place, even a little smaller, and the monthly rent is controlled as much as possible under 1,000 chips.

In the future, when there are conditions, they will buy a house down.

This was the Master's order before he set out.

Qian Lai didn't say anything more, but he still enthusiastically led them to the outside of the reservoir area and found a place to rent a house.

There are a lot of idle houses here, the rent is not expensive, a 120-square-meter storefront, only need to pay 800 chips a month, and the average is only 20 pieces a day.

If you add another 200 chips, the landlord said that you can rent them the two empty floors of the upper floor.

And if you want to buy it, such a house will not only cost nearly 300,000 chips, but also have to pay a management fee of 50 chips and land taxes every month.

Looking at the jumping subtitles on the VM, Ye Shi pinched his fingers and looked at Fang Chang next to him suspiciously.

"1,666 chips per square meter, is that cheap or expensive?"

Fang Chang thought for a while and said.

"It's cheaper in terms of rent-to-sale, but it's a little more expensive in terms of prices and income. I remember the textile factory in the nearby industrial area, two meals of nutritional paste, and the daily salary seems to be 3~4 chips? ”

The monthly salary is only 90 to 120 pieces, which is not even enough to buy a rifle.

In the case of child labor, most factories only give 1 chip a day, and some simply take care of food, and the wages are paid once a week, or they simply pay with the goods produced.

Since the smallest unit is a chip, it is not even possible to calculate the hourly wage of the locals.

But on the other hand, the salary of an engineer will be a little higher, basically more than 10 times that of the average worker, and if the place of work is outside the city or even in other nearby survivor settlements, it is more likely to double the original level.

Some technicians who have mastered scarce technology can even earn triple digits per day.

However, these pandas usually do not go outside the city at all, and usually live in high-end apartments close to the inner city, and some even move into the inner city with a good environment.

As for the mercenaries?

Most of them only earn the money they spend today, and there is no point in discussing their income.

NPCs are still haggling over rent.

Shuyu gave full play to his bargaining skills and has cut the rent to 900 yuan a month.

This price has touched the bottom line of the landlord, but the house here is not as good as the bustling neighborhood, and it is really not easy to rent, so he can only be patient and rub his tongue with the people in front of him.

After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly raised his head suddenly.

"Damn, I knew I should have saved up the chips!"

Lao Bai gave him a strange look.

"What are you doing with that?"

"Buy a set!" Ye Shi's eyes lit up and said, "When the new map is completely opened, someone will come, right?" We can rent it to them! Isn't this much cooler than exchanging silver coins directly? ”

Rent to Fuji Vine!

10,000 silver coins a month!

Rich woman vine vine can definitely afford it!

Tempest: "......"

Fang Chang was speechless and said, "Do you have 10 chips in total?" ”

Night Ten: "Well, that's true. ”

Lao Bai: "And what's the use of buying here, it's so far away from the resurrection point, it's better to build one next to the base." ”

"But then again, there should be shops in Boulder City too, right?" Standing on the street, Tempest glanced left and right, "Have you investigated the price of this type of equipment?" ”

"A drone X-2 assault rifle with 150 chips, looking at the shape, it should be an imitation G9 assault rifle. Iron-barreled rifles are cheaper, and they feel like they are sold by weight. ”

Tempest then asked, "What about biomimicry?" ”

Fang Chang was slightly stunned.

"This ...... I didn't see it, I went to several weapon stores and didn't see it, but there were exoskeletons for sale. ”

As soon as they heard this, the expressions on the faces of the three of them instantly became excited.

", exoskeleton?!"

"Are you sure?"

"Don't beep, take us with you!"

"What's the use of you going? Do you have the money to buy it? ”

Looking at his teammates with shining-eyed eyes, Fang Chang sighed helplessly.

“…… Forget it, you'll find out when you go. ”

Night Ten had already carried the package on his back on the ground, and said with a smile.

"Bring these with you! Maybe you can sell it for some money! ”

Fang Chang said speechlessly.

"It's someone else's bargaining chip if it's sold......"

Night Ten: "It's okay! Before we left, we said that half of the chips sold were ours! ”

Fang Chang was stunned.

And what's going on?

But looking at the appearance of the three teammates, it doesn't look like a joke.

The boss, who was bargaining, saw these hillbillies picking up the packages on the ground, and thought that they were not going to rent it, so he immediately panicked and hurriedly shouted.

“800！ 800 no problem! But you'll have to pay three months' rent at a time, and you'll have to pay another month's deposit! This is already the lowest price, and it is impossible to find a cheaper one! ”

Didn't miss this opportunity, Shuyu said immediately.

"Deal!"

Qian Lai, who was standing next to him, looked at the man in front of him and was slightly stunned.

Boy.

Pick up two floors for nothing......

This guy can't be a talent.
