Chapter 343: Pai Who Never Forgets
Official website forum.
[Update announcement: The logistics department of the new alliance will be changed to 12 departments such as industry, economy, transportation, energy, trade, diplomacy, education, and military. γ
[Some NPC positions have been adjusted, please pay attention to identification!] γ
Tail: "Wow, is this going to be an expansion?" Let me be well! (βͺΟβͺ)β
Quit smoking: "Wait a minute, does this have anything to do with us?" β
Edge paddling: "Doesn't seem to be!" β
Commander of the Fountain: "It seems that NPCs don't have players in the first place, right?" β
Commander of the Spring: "...... Uh, I seem to be talking nonsense. β
Canyon on the Run: "So what's new in this update??" β
Debt-ridden eyes: "Gan! Another update for this guy! β
The construction site boy and the bricks: "Open the silver exchange!" β
Makabazi: "Seconded!" I'm going to sell silver!! β
Fujito: "Poof......"
It's another day of disappointed expectations.
On the fourth day after the expansion ended, the Silver Trading Platform was still not open. The beta version 0.3 of Kingdom of Heaven is still in the works, and there is no news at all.
Rumors abound on the forum.
Some people say that Ah Guang cut the leeks and ran away, the silver coin trading platform will not be opened again, and the forum will be closed after a while.
Some people also say that it is absolutely impossible, how can Ah Guang run away after cutting leeks?
That's sure to keep cutting!
Ye Wei felt that what they said was very problematic.
Anyone who has really entered the game knows that Brother Guang never cuts leeks, and makes games wholeheartedly, not only does not earn players' money, but even benefits players.
It's just that sometimes the AI is a little too cunning, and NPCs may not play their cards according to the routine.
However, this little thing is not a big deal at all, but it is one of the characteristics of "Wasteland Online".
NPCs really have to be like fools, that's boring.
The silver coin trading platform will definitely be open.
And it should be just these days.
But speaking of which, every time he thought of this, Ye Wei felt a little scared in his heart.
At that time, he had just sold the silver coins, and the price continued to rise, and he actually regretted it in his heart, thinking that he should wait before selling, and he could make tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands more.
However, the moment he saw the suspension of the silver coin trading platform, all the regrets in his heart disappeared, and only happiness remained.
Fortunately, it was sold early.
I can't sell it if I want to sell it a few hours later.
Thinking of the 5 million lying in the bank card, his heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate.
5 million!
He'd never seen so much money in his life!
"Ah Wei, what are you looking at?" There was a roommate's voice behind him, and Sun Gan, who had just come back from playing ball, came over curiously.
"Brush the forums."
"Damn! It's been a few years, and I still play BBS, so I can't get in touch with a little bit of young people's things? β
"It's better to watch short videos." Lao Liu interjected.
β+1γβ The head of the dormitory also chimed in.
Ye Wei rolled his eyes and put his phone away.
"You know a hammer."
Lao Liu couldn't help but say.
"Ah Wei, didn't I say it...... If there's a completely real virtual reality game like you're talking about, why can't I watch it on short videos at all? β
The head of the dormitory also raised his hand.
"+1, I can't even brush it on my scarf."
Ye Wei said without thinking: "I guess it was restricted, after all, even if the PV is filtered, it is R18." β
This has been discussed in the group before.
PV can be sent to the circle of friends, space, and group, but it can't be posted on media platforms such as short videos and scarves, at least not on large platforms.
You can see it over the wall, but the discussion on the Internet is not very hot.
The main reason is that the official website is all in Chinese, and it is full of a large number of bad stalks that translators can't translate at all, which is too difficult for international friends to understand.
Of course, although there are few international friends, they are not completely absent.
However, what Ye Wei didn't expect was that he just said this casually, and the entire bedroom was boiling instantly!
βR18οΌ Awesome! β
β666οΌβ
"Good fellow, it turns out that you are hiding in the bed every night!"
Seeing that everyone was coaxing and ridiculing, Ye Wei blushed and refuted.
", I'm talking about the bloody, violent aspect of R18, and Se...... What does it have to do with that! β
Sun Qian patted him on the shoulder with a hippie smile.
"It's okay, it's okay, everybody understands it, young people can understand it. Rest assured, we'll keep it a secret for you! β
Ye Wei rolled his eyes.
"No nonsense, I'm going to be on the number in a while, by the way, have you read the link I sent you before?"
Sun Qian was confused and said: "Link? β
Ye Wei: "That's the game reservation interface!" β
Sun Qian suddenly said: "Oh, you said that, I took a look...... What the hell, asking questions about the east and west, it's like checking the water meter. β
Lao Liu interjected and said: "+1, I don't think that website looks like a serious website at all, I'll close it quickly!" β
Ye Wei said impatiently: "Don't care so much, let you fill in, you can fill it in, will your brother harm you?" β
But now fill out the form, I'm afraid there will be some waiting.
When he could still see the number of pre-registered players before, Ye Wei took a special look and found that the number was already more than the balance of his bank card.
Ignoring the few animals in the dormitory, he threw his phone on the table to charge it, climbed into bed and put on his helmet, and logged into the game as Night Ten.
The three people in the dormitory looked at each other and looked at each other.
ββ¦β¦ I'm kind of convinced. β
"This guy puts on his helmet at six o'clock every night, and if he can't sleep until twelve o'clock in the morning without class, it's hard not to believe it."
"Fully immersive R18 game is ok......"
"Ahem, I'll fill out a form...... Mainly to criticize it. β
"I almost believed it!"
β¦β¦
North Street in the south of Dawning City.
Today is also the same as always, and it is very lively early in the morning.
After the end of the Northern Expedition, a large number of players left the front line and returned to the area around Dawning City, where fresh game and catch, or freshly picked mushrooms, could be seen in front of the meat stall every day.
Especially recently.
With the opening of the north-south railway transportation line, there are many more warship shrimp transported from Xizhou Lake in the market of Shuguang City.
This freshwater shrimp with a shell harder than steel and a body longer than an arm is generally eaten by no survivor.
However, these clever little players have developed four ways to eat, including braised meat, steamed in oil, and minced garlic, turning what no one eats into a delicacy.
Even the "cubs" of the frigate shrimp were not spared, and they were made into fist-sized crayfish by life professional players, which was widely praised by NPCs.
Due to the skyrocketing price of silver coins, everyone's enthusiasm for making money has also risen.
Is the NPC shop too cheap for graduation outfits?
Public archive points are too convenient and don't want to buy a house?
Too many silver coins and no place to spend them?
Not a problem at all!
There are so many little leeks lined up outside to buy, and the thought of the silver coins earned is all money, and the players are more energetic to move bricks!
The entrance of Hai Kee Ramen Restaurant.
Zhang Hai, who was standing next to a cauldron, shouted loudly.
"Selling ramen, 4 silver bowls!"
The silver father, who happened to come in, heard it and couldn't help but complain.
"Gan! A thousand dollars a bowl, rob you of money! β
Zhang Hai's eyes widened.
"Damn, too much brother, how can you be so calculated?"
What the hell is the highest price?
Let's use the average price to calculate!
"It doesn't matter!" The silver father smiled, and threw four silver coins on the table, "The business on North Street is so hot, my brother has made a lot of money." β
Zhang Hai said with a big grin as he ordered noodles.
"It's too vulgar to talk about money! The main thing is that we like the feel of kneading dough. β
The construction site boy who was sitting on the side eating noodles happened to hear it, and he almost didn't take a bite of yue, and he scolded and threw away his chopsticks.
"Gan! Lao Tzu's appetite has been lost by you. β
"Refund the money!"
Zhang Hai rolled his eyes and unceremoniously retreated.
"I want to eat my fart!"
At this moment, a pleasant voice floated in.
"Old man, come to six bowls of noodles!"
Looking at the tail that snapped a handful of silver coins on the table, the players who were sitting nearby eating noodles were instantly shocked.
"it!"
"Six...... Six bowls!? β
"Rich Woman!!
"Okay!" Seeing the business, Zhang Hai suddenly became energetic, no longer talking to the guests, tore off a lump of dough from the board, and started his performance.
Pai looked curiously, left and right.
Her eyes fell on the flying noodles, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh, what's that!"
"Ramen!" Tail said proudly, "Hmph, when it comes to the food of the new alliance, this is naturally indispensable!" β
Pai stared straight at the noodles, her eyes sparkling.
βlamianοΌ It's amazing! β
The Great White Bear looked at Tail in surprise and then at Pay.
"Huh? Can you understand what the NPC is saying? β
"I think it's just a coincidence......" Staring at the translator on the VM, Si Si said with a subtle expression, "Is it possible that they are both saying their own words, but they don't understand what the other person is saying at all?" β
The cat's ears on the top of his head shook slightly, and Sesame Paste said with some envy: "In a sense, this is also quite a great skill." β
Tail puffed up his chest and said proudly.
"Uh-huh! That's right, that's right! Please praise me more! β
Game time is six o'clock in the morning.
As soon as the three of them were launched, they received a commission from the administrator himself, hoping that they could serve as the escort of the Camp 101 visiting group and accompany Xiaoyu and Pai to visit the Dawning City.
The identity of Pai, the new NPC, has been discussed on the forums before.
According to the information of the Ushima Squad, it is said that he is a very amazing "puppet master" who specializes in making exquisite figures.
And he is also a representative of the Camp 101 visiting delegation!
Such a significant quest and the opportunity to form deep friendships with special NPCs that no player will want to miss.
Especially when he learned that Xiao Yu was also in the team, Tail didn't say a word, and immediately took over this task on behalf of the White Bear Knights.
Six bowls of ramen were quickly served.
Xiao Yu patiently taught Pai how to use chopsticks.
She thought it would take a lot of time, but she didn't expect the other party to learn it all at once, and even use it more skillfully than her.
"I see! What a handy tool! Looking at the two sticks in his hand, Pai said excitedly, "How did you come up with that?" β
"It was Brother Chu who brought it out of the shelter." Looking at Pai, who was good at learning, Xiao Yu had an envious expression on his face.
It took her a long time to get used to this unique tableware.
"Your shelter is amazing, with so many interesting things." Pai had the same look of envy on his face, but for very different reasons.
"Of course! Brother Chu is amazing," unconsciously curled the corners of his lips happily, Xiao Yu suddenly thought of something, and continued, "By the way, where are you going to go shopping in a while?" β
"Industrial Zone!" Pai's eyes sparkled.
"Industrial area?"
Pai nodded energetically.
"Hmmm! Can't you? β
It's not that you can't do it......
But don't you usually go to a shopping street or something like that?
Although Xiao Yu was a little confused in her heart, she didn't say anything when she thought of what Brother Chu had told her before, and nodded.
"Well, if you want to see it."
β¦β¦
The group came to the industrial area.
The first thing that catches your eye is the "infamous" goblin technology.
Listening to the reactions of other life professional players, there are always explosions from time to time, and occasionally one or two screams can be heard.
Although there must be exaggerations in this, and even the smearing of friends and businessmen, it does not prevent everyone from spreading falsehoods.
Later, the rumor somehow got into the ears of the NPCs, so that almost no wastelanders were willing to work here.
Most of the people who work here are gamers, especially those who are new to the game, and it is not uncommon for them to dedicate themselves to technology.
Considering the glorious image of the new Alliance, Sis planned to silently bypass this "sweatshop", but without paying attention, Pai had already slipped in curiously by himself.
In the open space in the middle of the factory.
Mosquito and a few apprentices were muttering something around a blackboard.
Not far from them were two W-1 and 2 gliders that had been dismantled into parts, and a large pile of custom-made parts from other factories.
In the previous battle of Songlinyu, the performance of the W series attack aircraft on the battlefield was quite outstanding, but it also exposed many problems.
One is that the maneuverability is too poor, and the other is that the shell is too brittle.
When diving to the ground, the small 7mm water pipe can turn the plane into a sieve, and those marauders are stunned to rely on the patchwork of anti-aircraft machine guns to fight them one by one.
To bully the marauders, gliders are obviously enough, but if you are facing a survivor force like Boulder City, the number of such ultra-low-speed planes may not be enough.
Therefore, the manager placed a new order with Goblin Technology.
They were asked to produce a stronger, faster, and better fighter with better air combat performance, reducing the pilot death rate.
To be honest, mosquitoes don't think it's necessary.
What defense do humanoid missiles want?
With that load, it's better to bring two more bombs.
What? The opponent is the black technology plane of Boulder City?
And you don't even know what the power principle and mounted weapons of the other side are?
That's a yarn.
Just vote for it!
Staring at the sketch on the blackboard, he scratched his ears and cheeks and said, "The speed of the propeller plane can't go up, let's just make a jet plane." β
"It's better to build a steel shell!" His eyes lit up and he said, "If you can't win, we can go up and crash!" Shave with your tail! β
Chasing souls: "If you don't understand, just ask, are you talking about MiG-25?" β
Killing God: "Hahaha, vigorously flying bricks!" I like it! β
The mosquito standing next to it rolled its eyes.
"You guys really dream."
Jet plane?
Still want to make a MiG?
How can it be that simple!
This is not a question of whether there is technology or not, but the supporting industry cannot support it at all. It is impossible to grind every part of an aircraft with a high-precision plasma cutting machine.
Not to mention how many man-hours and materials are consumed, even if it is really grinded, the cost is unacceptable to them anyway.
What they need to think about is how to maximize their limited strengths as much as possible.
Looking at the scribbled concept map on the blackboard, Mosquito said with a headache on his face.
ββ¦β¦ Otherwise, as I said, I can just get a humanoid AA to play, and I don't have to think about what EMP and signal hijacking. β
Just when he was in an irritable mood, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from next to him.
"Oh! Is this your plane? It looks so retro! Surveying the hull of the plane in the clearing, Pai said curiously.
The mosquito turned his head to see a little girl with pale blond hair, standing next to the W-2 ground attack plane he had disassembled into parts.
In normal times, he would certainly not mind wasting his time bragging about it.
But now he was clearly not in that mood.
"Go, go, children play, don't get in the way of adults."
Although he is not proficient in human language, he has no problem communicating daily because he often deals with NPCs.
This is true for most life players.
Pai looked at the guy disapprehended.
"Who said I was a child! I'm sixteen years old! β
The mosquito plucked out his ears and said with a smile.
"Sixteen? Didn't you even graduate from junior high school? β
Pai tilted his head.
βgοΌβ
These people always speak with difficult words.
"Anyway, this is not the place for kids, go back to your mother. Go ahead, don't go anymore I'll call the guards. The mosquito made a gesture to chase away the mosquitoes.
This guy ......
Seeing that he was being looked down upon, Pai's brows furrowed.
Just as she was about to go out of here, her eyes fell on the blackboard next to her, and her expression suddenly became interesting.
"Are you going to atomize kerosene and light it?"
"Or else?" The mosquito said without thinking.
"Oh, no-what--"
Dragged back, Pai stared at the blackboard twice, jotted down the dense contents, and then turned and walked away.
The mosquito looked at the little girl's back in confusion, a little confused by her last sentence.
At this time, the persuasion next to him suddenly spoke.
"That NPC...... Looks like Pai? β
Soul Chaser looked at him strangely.
βΟοΌβ
Persuasion shook his head.
"Didn't you read what was discussed on the official website? She seems to have come from that 101 camp. β
β¦β¦
[Mission: Into Hell]
[Briefing: Slime mutants are one of the core threats facing survivors in the wasteland, and in order to understand where they come from and how to deal with them, the Vault Medical Lab needs more samples.] Note: Strong electromagnetic interference has been detected in this area, electronic equipment may malfunction, and air support cannot be used for this mission. γ
[Main goal: Go to the area of the second to third ring roads in the city center, and collect slime mold samples from sampling points 1, 2, and 3 on the map. γ
[Secondary Target: We have lost a reconnaissance aircraft in the downtown area, please bring back the pilot's VM if conditions allow.] (Player ID: Falling Feather). γ
γPublisher: Heaγ
[Minimum Receiving Level: L.20]
γRequired team size: 4~8 peopleγ
[Mission Danger Factor: ? γ
[Recommended equipment: gas masks, protective clothing, compasses, paper maps and other low-electronic equipment.] γ
"The danger factor question mark is okay."
It's going to do something.
At the save point in the north of Dawning City, Night Ten, who was standing in front of the storage box, looked at the task pop-up window on the VM with a surprised expression.
A few minutes ago, Lao Bai pulled a team and shared this task from the medical lab on their VM.
Quickly bringing the required equipment, Night Ten confirmed the meeting coordinates on the map and immediately rushed to meet his teammates.
The meeting point is at the airport next to the military camp in the north of the city.
Due to the complex road conditions in the city and the large number of xenomorph activities on the roads, in order to save time and ammunition, the "Dragonfly" transport of the new alliance will send them to the edge of the Fifth Ring Road with the airdrop supplies and parachute into the target area.
It's the same as when I was in Xizhou City.
Arrived at the meeting point.
Ten of the Nights found that four of his teammates had been waiting here for a long time.
Including Lao Bai, who served as the front row, everyone tacitly did not bring an exoskeleton, but only some cheap and durable light equipment.
Everyone's expressions were relaxed, even casual.
After all, it's not the first time that anyone standing here has skydived.
Although the situation in Qingquan City is far more complicated than that in Xizhou City, and the danger factor of the task is quite suspicious, the task requirement is not to brush the boss, but to collect a few samples.
For the most powerful squad in the whole server, this is obviously not a problem.
ββ¦β¦ The registered company's business license has come down, and the place of registration is in Shanghai. β
"In the future, the transaction can go through the company's account, and the company will pay the individual in the form of technical service fees. I've consulted with game studio owners I know, and they basically do the same thing, which saves you a lot of trouble. β
Lean against the side of the hangar.
Fang Chang and his teammates were talking about things in reality.
Funds obtained through the Silver Trading Platform will be credited directly to the company's account, minus personal income tax and 5% of operating costs, before being paid to players.
The company and the player sign a cooperation contract, not a labor contract.
Since the part of the money paid to the player belongs to the operating costs of the enterprise, and the 5% retained by the enterprise can only be considered a profit after deducting a series of other costs, there is no problem of paying two taxes on the same money.
Considering the different policies in different places, through this series of operations, although there is an intermediate link, the cost will not be much higher than that of private-to-private transfers.
And it avoids the hassle of explaining income.
Everyone owns a part of the shares, even the shareholders are also part-time workers.
Considering that there will be more and more players in the future, you can also promote your business to other players who need it, and charge a nominal 5% service fee or something.
Anyway, their core business is in games.
I don't plan to make money from this cow and horse company.
After listening to what Fang Chang said, Ye Shi was surprised.
"So fast?"
Fang Chang said with a smile: "I found a agency company to do it, there are many companies in Shanghai that do this kind of business, and they can also provide a docking site." However, I will still rent an office and hire a professional accountant in the future, after all, if the amount of funds is large, I still don't feel at ease with other people's financial systems. β
The most critical issue is security.
Whether it's property security, or information security.
Quit smoking with a look of admiration.
"Brother is awesome!"
"Awesome, it's not a difficult thing." Fang Chang couldn't help but laugh, and after a pause, he continued, "Actually, I've been thinking about a question for the past few days. β
Quit smoking curiously asked, "What's the problem?" β
Fang Chang said seriously: "The previous auction ...... What the hell is that sky-high auction item that sold for 4 million silver coins? β
4,000,000 silver coins.
According to the average price of 1 silver coin to 80RMB before the suspension, it is equivalent to more than 300 million!
With such a large stroke, it is unlikely that the actions of one player in the game will be. After all, even if it is a Niuma brick factory, it is quite difficult to come up with so much "cash" at one time.
What's even more unpredictable is that the mysterious buyer took pictures of the things and then went silent, neither came to the forum to pretend to be forced, nor did he listen to anyone to show off.
The official did not announce what the transaction was, and the people who ate melons watched the bidding price rise sharply, and then the hammer knocked on nothing.
This series of abnormal operations is hard not to think about.
No wonder mosquitoes are interested.
Honestly, he's starting to get curious.
Yashi asked with interest.
"What do you think that thing would be?"
Fang Chang thought for two seconds and gave an ambiguous answer.
"Maybe something more valuable than money."
He's not sure if his guess is correct, and he's been following the news these days.
βοΌβ Someone in the night looked at the good brother in confusion.
What does it mean to be worth more than money?
At this time, a shout came from the runway next to it.
"Gan! How long do you have to grind, you can't leave? β
Seeing that the pilot began to urge, Lao Bai relaxed his thoughtful expression and patted his teammates on the shoulders with a smile.
"Let's go, let's get on the plane."
Chapter 343: Pai Who Never Forgets
It's the New Year, and book friends with spiritual roots use this app to read aloud and listen to books on the road!
