The "Queen of the Night" isn't the only bar in Boulder.

While Robb was dreaming of dominating the night in Boulder City, the Pirate Cove Tavern on the other street was also cheering for the good stuff from the northern suburbs.

"Spiritual water?! Damn, where did you get all this good stuff this winter? ”

The man sitting at the bar looked at the bottles and cans on the shelves, with an expression of envy and longing on his face.

His name is Ant, the leader of the Red Rocket Mercenary Regiment, and there are about forty or fifty people under his command, including six Awakened Ones.

If you are outside Boulder City, with such strength, not to mention being a soil emperor, it is more than enough to be a soil rich man like an old leech.

But here, he's just a mercenary leader.

There are too many situations like him, and no one bother to remember the name of a mercenary group and how many people they have.

Because it's pointless, maybe tomorrow they'll be gone, or they'll change their vests and do something else.

The bartender standing at the bar didn't seem to hear his question at all, just calmly wiped his glass and said in an unhurried voice.

"200 chips."

Onte's eyes widened and he exclaimed.

"Two hundred chips?! Just that 200 ml bottle? Are you crazy about money?! ”

The bartender glanced at him, and the expression on his face didn't change at all.

"This is a good thing that has not been diluted, and it takes at least one kilogram of spirit leaves to extract this 200 ml essence, you shouldn't be stupid enough to suffocate this bottle in one gulp."

It is relatively safe to consume less than 20 ml, and many mercenaries will mix it into wine, or dilute it directly with water.

Generally, 20 ml of concentrated spirit water mixed with 200 ml of purified water can make a bottle of spirit water with the best effect, which can provide two hours of fearless time.

These two hours are critical.

After all, most battles end in half an hour, and two hours of good form is enough to help them a lot.

I didn't expect that there were such undiluted good things sold here.

A hint of surprise appeared on Onte's face.

If it's a milliliter of chips, this price is really not outrageous, especially in winter, when it is difficult to get a large number of spirit leaves.

"Bring me 5 bottles!"

The bartender skillfully turned around and removed 5 bottles from the shelves and placed them on the table.

"I'll charge you 1,000."

Without saying a word, Onte slapped a bag of chips on the table.

"It's all here...... Damn, this money is in your pocket before it is hot on Lao Tzu, you have to introduce me to some good work! ”

"Winter is over, do you still have to worry about not working?"

The bartender smiled faintly, opened the bag and looked at it, then put the bag of chips in a drawer under the counter.

After thinking for a moment, he continued.

"There's going to be a fight in Honghe Town, I heard that the price given is not bad, a six-month contract of 300 red and blue tickets, whether it is a man or a woman, you can make money by transporting it to the south, if you can't find a market, you can also send it to me, are you interested?"

"Is there any business closer?" Accepting the spiritual water on the table, Onte lit a cigarette for himself, "Six months is too long, I just want to work a short job at the beginning of the year." ”

Two or three weeks, two or two months later, and the caravans of the company will come here.

This year, he plans to try his luck in the Yunjian Province.

Not only to make money, but also to change a bionic prosthetic body for himself and the brothers in the group, and two reliable pieces of equipment.

I heard that the Yunjian Province is fighting fiercely with mutants, and if I can mix there for two years, I may be able to return to my hometown and retire.

No one can be a mercenary for a lifetime.

Neither can the Awakened.

Looking at the man sitting at the bar, the bartender said thoughtfully.

"Then we have to wait for the wave."

Onte's eyebrows furrowed.

"Will there be this year?"

"I don't know, but it's highly probable," the bartender shrugged his shoulders and continued, "and it's been a whole winter, and it's not just the animals that have to forage for food, but the rotten things that need something to gnaw on." It snowed so hard last month, and when spring starts, I wonder if nothing happens. ”

Tidal wave.

Onte licked the corners of his mouth, a flash of excitement in his eyes.

This is a great opportunity!

Whenever the "wave" appeared, the old men of Boulder City would throw a lot of chips and mobilize those temporary workers to the front line.

Battle-hardened mercenaries like them won't die in the mouths of the xenos as easily as those cannon fodder.

Not only that, but they can also take advantage of the opportunity to make a windfall!

This money is more profitable than the caravan's money, after all, fighting the xenomorphs on a frontal battlefield is far less dangerous than fighting the marauders.

"Give me ten more bottles!"

Onte was ready to do a big job.

If this year the wave will come.

The price of this kind of scar-fed material will definitely rise, and it is always right to stock up on more "discounts" now.

With a happy smile on his face, the bartender calmly accepted the chips he handed over, and then took 10 bottles of spiritual water and placed them on the table.

"I've always been accurate."

"You look like a man who can make a fortune!"

……

[Mission: Open up the market]

[Contents: The products of the vine hut are becoming popular in the inner city of Boulder City, and in order to enrich the spiritual life of the people of the wasteland, we need to develop more sinking products that can be consumed by the general public.] This will not only bring us foreign exchange, but also reduce our industrial costs......]

【Reward: ......】

【Publisher:Xia Yan】

Chemical plant in the new industrial zone.

Many players have swiped this quest in the taskbar.

Although I talked about it for a long time, the meaning is actually very easy to understand-

'Vault 404 needs more polyamide to make socks in a variety of colors and transparencies, so go ahead and produce them. ’

However, the focus is not on the content of the task, or even on the reward offered by the task, but on the publisher of the task.

The name......

Isn't it really a bug?

"Holy? Boss Xia still has this hobby?! ”

At a glance, I found something unusual in the task panel, and the little player standing next to the production line shouted out in surprise as if he had found an easter egg in the game.

But it soon became clear that things were not so simple.

"Wait, why does this job description look so much like a manager?"

"Indeed, Boss Xia never talks so much nonsense when he releases tasks."

“！！！ Damn, why do you feel more exciting?! ”

"it, brothers, it's over, Ollie!"

"Oak Oak!"

"Woohoo, Black Silk conquers the wasteland!!"

"If you don't understand, just ask, are you planning to put it on your head?"

The raw materials for the production of polyamide can basically be found in the NPC's warehouse, and if you can't find it, you can also entrust the warehouse manager to place an order, or directly go to the forum to post for help.

The number of pre-registered players is increasing, and there are more people watching the excitement, and occasionally there are always a few special punishment bosses passing by.

Although the production conditions are backward and the production methods are quite retro, a group of small players from the chemical industry are still in full swing, and everyone expresses their opinions and discusses production methods that are more suitable for waste land.

Although the chemical industry is severely saturated in reality, in this game, they are all properly scarce talents, and they are the big guys in the eyes of players and wastelanders.

Whether it is a life professional gamer or a combat professional gamer, you have to admit it.

Cooking and nesting, that's me on my own line.

But this, I really can't do it.

In fact, it is not only the chemical factory that received the task, but also the "wealth myth" of the Cow Horse Squad and the Vine Hut, which has stimulated every player who has read the strategy post and even cloud players.

Endless brainstorms have sprung up on the forums and have been brought into the game by a group of players with extremely hands-on skills.

For example, mosquitoes.

This guy has never been idle.

Especially after his "anti-claw crab thunder" was complained about on the forum, this guy learned from the pain and decided to make something useful.

Don't brag about it, he really made it.

It was a detachable steel plate made specifically for the KV-1's exoskeleton that perfectly protected against bullets fired at the chest.

Among the many bulletproof materials, steel plate is always the most cost-effective choice, the only drawback is the weight, and the sputtered shrapnel can hurt the soldier's jaw and wrist.

However, for exoskeletons, this is not a problem at all, and with a little ingenuity in design, the vast majority of the load can be distributed to the bone scaffold. And the problem of shrapnel sputtering can also be solved by designing a ring of scarves.

This kind of "hard individual armor" may not be so significant in the wars of the 21st century, but it does work wonders in a wasteland dominated by street fighting.

Especially when dealing with marauders, no one can predict which direction the attack will come from, let alone what equipment the opponent will have.

Many mercenaries will weld steel plates for their KV-1, but there is generally no standard, and it is entirely based on their own experience.

This kind of standardized detachable parts, maybe it can really sell out?

It's not just mosquitoes.

The entire industrial zone is trying to find a way to get the wool of the "new map".

Chu Guang was both relieved and glad about this.

Happily, these little players have a stronger understanding of the version, and they can save a lot of micro-operations and focus more on macro decisions.

As for the good news, the reclamation work has come to an end in the past two days, and he can calmly end the expansion film, settle the task rewards for those hard-working young players, and then arrange the next spring ploughing.

Otherwise, everyone will run to gather the wool of the neighbors, and I am afraid that no one will plant it here......

……

"Mom, Lao Tzu is back!!"

The north entrance of the long farm.

A caravan laden with cargo stopped at the unloading point at the gate. Chando found Liszt and handed the ledger to his boss, while Liszt found Luca and began to calculate the value of the supplies and discuss what to use to settle the bill.

Looking at the reclaimed field to the west, the mole on the run from the canyon who had just taken a breath was surprised to close his mouth on the spot.

“…… me, the map has been updated?! ”

He's only been out for half a month.

It's been like this when I came back!

Not only the 10,000 acres of land that have been reclaimed, but also the yellow corn cobs lying in the open space at the north gate to dry.

Boy.

If you roughly count this corn, it will cost dozens of tons to say the least!

This is also amazing!

As he came out of the granary, Makabazi saw the refugee-like Mole Brother, with the same look of surprise on his face.

"Damn, mole?! Are you running away from the famine? ”

The mole in the canyon rolled its eyes.

"Fuck off, I didn't make it like this just to show you a map."

Makabazi looked at him strangely and continued to ask.

"Why have you been here for so long? I remember that one trip would be enough for half a week at most. ”

Fang Chang, that dog, Emperor Ou, has made a second trip to Boulder City!

Two rounds a week, that's too slow!

The mole who was fleeing from the canyon said helplessly: "The original plan was to come back in a week, but who said what happened on the way, it would have to be delayed for another two or three days to arrive, which is already relatively fast!" ”

Makabazi was surprised, "What happened to you?" Dead claws? ”

The mole on the run in the canyon: "No, what we encountered is much more exciting than the xenomorphs, and there is already a fight on the side of Red River Town." ”

Macabazi: "Fighting?!" And with whom? ”

"Who else can you talk to? The-stirring sticks of the entire river valley province are also chewing bones. Before leaving, I heard from the caravan's NPCs that the two Thousand Men of the Snake Clan had blocked the passage to the north and west of Red River Town, and it was said that the third Thousand Men were on their way and were going to cut off the east road as well. ”

"Of course, the Red River Town side did not show weakness, several mine owners and the owners of the trading houses joined forces, hired more than 20 mercenary groups, and trained a large number of soldiers, known as the army of 10,000 people...... But in fact, I don't feel like half of it. ”

"We had to take a detour south to be on the safe side...... I went around to a settlement called Junk City, and then turned back northwest again...... It's like this. ”

The mole gestured a "V" in the air with his index finger, and this is roughly what they had traveled back to on the map.

However, compared to his itinerary, Makabazi was obviously more curious about another matter.

"Wait! What is Junk City? ”

Could it be a hidden map?!

"Uh, what do you say? A small survivor stronghold, I'll draw it on the forum later, it feels a lot smaller than Boulder City anyway, and it's farther from there than Red River Town. ”

At this, the mole smiled.

"That's what surprised me the most, I didn't expect the map to be bigger than I had imagined! Some of the survivor colonies in the backdrop are already implemented. ”

"I made a bold assumption, I can't figure out the ideal city and other maps in the background board, which have already been updated in the game, but part of the content has not been completed, so the planning is not taken out with great fanfare."

If this assumption is correct, it is impossible to walk all the way east from here to the legendary Ideal City.

But there's another problem with this.,There's no way to save along the way.,There's no VM signal.,And I'm not familiar with life.,It's still a little whimsical to want to walk on two legs.。

Listening to the mole tell the story of the distance, Makabazi had an envious expression on his face.

At this moment, the administrator, wearing power armor, walked from the direction of the north gate of Nagaga Farm.

"Good work!"

Looking at the mole whose whole person had turned into a homeless person, Chu Guang added another sentence after settling his task.

"Let's go back and take a shower."

It tastes too big!

Brother Mole scratched his head embarrassedly, probably knowing that he was now estimated to smell bad, so he decisively went to the south gate to wait for the bus.

The battles of all sizes along the way made him rise to a level, but he couldn't find a save point, which made him anxious.

Chu Guang looked at the supplies that the caravan was unloading.

In addition to the rifles that Liszt bought from himself, there was also a batch of goods in it that were his own, which were sold by Liszt according to 28 cents.

In total, the arms returned nearly 50 tons of mineral resources, 20 tons of shellac meal to improve soil fertility, and 25 two-headed cattle.

Liszt took the apprentice with a lot of money and walked towards Chu Guang.

"Nearly seventy percent of these goods belong to you, and I plan to settle the remaining thirty percent with rifles, continue to go to Red River Town, and exchange some raw materials from there to come back."

Although it is also a good choice to change to spirit leaves, it is easier to cash into chips, but now the caravan to Boulder City has not returned.

He can't let his caravan wait here.

While Qian Lai hadn't come back yet, he planned to make another trip to Honghe Town to exchange for more scarce resources from the long-term farm.

When the time comes, it will be the same to settle with spirit leaves, and you can exchange more than now!

After listening to Liszt's plan, Chu Guang nodded and continued.

"I'll give you a list when the warehouse finishes delivering the supplies. In addition to rifles, we also sell other goodies. ”

Liszt's eyebrows raised.

"For example?"

Chu Guang said with a slight smile.

"Death Howling rockets, Hell Breath motorcycles, 88mm mortars, 20mm rifle anti-tank rifles, and corresponding assorted shells...... These things have been tested on the battlefield, and we've beaten the marauders from the north with them, and they're all ready to beat them again. ”

"You can tell your friends in Red River that they can trust us completely, that the Chewing Bone Tribe is everyone's trouble, and that we will support their war with practical actions."

Selling rifles and bullets can make money by selling cannons, the former can be rubbed out with your hands, and the latter is not something that can be simply rubbed out by a few small workshops.

The 37-mm "heavy cavalry gun" has been developed, and its power is more than a little bit stronger than that of the 20-mm "cavalry gun", and the penetration depth of 100 meters can reach more than 70 mm!

That's more than enough power to deal with the average light medium armor!

Not only the products of No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant, but also the products of Goblin Technology are also quite powerful, and the accuracy of the rocket has shrunk from one kilometer error in the early days to within 200 meters.

If you want to further improve your power and accuracy, you can only test it on the battlefield.

Red River is undoubtedly an excellent weapons testing ground, the distance of hundreds of kilometers makes it difficult for the two sides to engage in direct conflict, and the Chewing Bone Tribe is the common enemy of all survivor colonies in the River Valley Province.

Since someone is willing to pay for the military industry in Vault 404, Chu Guang will certainly not miss this opportunity to open up sales for his own factory.

Not to mention that this buyer still has a lot of human resources and mines in his hands.

Maybe this battle was going on, and he bought the town of Red River.

Hearing that Chu Guang actually had so many good things here, Liszt's eyes lit up, and a pleasant smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"With your promise, the mine owners of Red River Town will definitely die happy! They've been tortured enough by those barbarians' armored pickups, and your anti-armor experience and weapons will definitely come in handy! ”

Chu Guang smiled slightly.

"It's not just about providing weapons, we're also providing trained soldiers and instructors, and we can even sign a long-term employment contract if they need it."

Liszt said excitedly.

"I'll ask them for you, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

Vault 404 had defeated the Snake Clan's people once, and word had already spread.

From Liszt's standpoint, of course, he hopes that this war will last as long as possible, and only in this way can he earn more chips.

Hearing Liszt's promise, a happy smile appeared on Chu Guang's face.

"I'll send two teams of ten people with you."

The battle line is a little longer, but there is a dormant pod as an archive point, so it's not a big problem, just replace people when they die.

It is better to be able to contain the Snake Clan in Red River Town than to face the two troubles of the Snake Clan and the Tooth Clan at the same time.

And that's not all.

The player gets the quest, the people of Red River are safe, and he gets the resources of Red River.

If well co-operated and properly operated, Vault 404 could even establish a permanent military base there in the future.

This wave is more than a win-win situation.

It's like Qin Shi Huang touching the electric door and winning hemp!
