5 p.m. 1

Fang Chang lay flat on the bed, put on his helmet and returned to the game, and when he opened his eyes again, he was greeted by a cement gray ceiling. 5

Underneath is a dilapidated single bed. 2

He moved the heavy back of his head, and a faint scent rushed from the squeezed pillow into his nose. The only fly in the ointment is that there is a smell of motor oil. 7

He turned his face sideways and saw the girl sitting on the edge of the bed. 14

She had a screwdriver in her hand and was tinkering with parts on her left arm, not knowing whether she was changing the battery or the oil...... 6

This game is always unexpectedly real in strange places. 4

"Are you awake?" Noticing movement on the bed, Dolly glanced at him. 5

At this moment, she was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt that had been washed white, and she could faintly see a touch of whiteness through the morning light outside the window, which made Fang Chang a little unsure where to put his eyes. 6

"Hmm."

Seeing the man's embarrassment, Dolly laughed slyly and said teasingly.

"You're sleeping so deeply, you can't wake up no matter how much you scream." 4

Fang Chang touched the bridge of his nose with some embarrassment.

"Actually, I usually ...... The amount of alcohol is not like this, let's drink it again next time. ”3

Dolly said with a smile.

"It's okay, I don't laugh at you." 10

Fang Chang: "......"

d！

That's all this bad game is.

If you drink too much, you will frequently drop the line, and if you break it, it will go down, and you can't even get it back. 6

He couldn't remember what had happened last night, he only remembered what he had seen in the black light and what he hadn't seen. 12

Later, he couldn't climb up, so he went to the balcony to smoke, and by the way, he went to the line with his friends. 3

But I said that I was unconscious all night yesterday......

Fang Chang's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously reached out and touched his trouser belt.

It's not that I'm worried about what the girl has done to her, is he the kind of person who is afraid of losing money? 4

The main reason is that I am afraid of missing a waist...... 13

Looking at Fang Chang, who was turning around his waist for a while, Dolly teased and continued.

"Don't worry, I didn't touch your stuff." 4

Of course, Fang Chang wouldn't say what he was looking for just now, so he coughed dryly and diverted the topic.

"Where is this?"

"My home."

Although it was expected, there was still a hint of surprise in Fang Chang's eyes.

Misunderstood what was in his eyes, Dolly said indifferently.

"Isn't it broken?"

Fang Chang glanced around, and there were a lot of things stuffed into the one-bedroom room of less than 15 square meters.

There are few beautiful clothes to be seen, and there are mechanical parts next to the bottles and cans in the corner, as well as tools for polishing the parts.

"Find another bathroom? I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to go out. Looking around at him, Dolly said. 2

Fang Chang shook his head.

"I didn't ...... In fact, by the standards of the wasteland, the environment here is not bad. ”

The space within the giant wall is limited, and it is certainly incomparable with the vast and sparsely populated northern suburbs.

A smug smile curled up at the corners of Dolly's mouth.

"Indeed, I like it because I can shelter from the wind and rain, I don't have to squeeze with other people, and I only have to pay 52 chips a month in rent. When I have time, I plan to raise a pot of succulents and put it by the window. ”17

Listening to her chatter, Fang Chang felt that his hearing was not enough, but he still relied on the experience of communicating with international friends to guess a rough idea. 1

"Succulent?"

"Well, a plant with very thick leaves, I heard it can absorb radiation." Dolly said with a look of conviction, as if she really believed it. 5

Absorbing radiation is such a thing......

Fang Chang's expression was a little subtle.

It's not that he wants to raise the bar, it's that he really doubts that if this plant really has this ability, he can plant two pots directly next to the reactor. 15

But then again, he doesn't seem to think much about radiation. According to the website, radiation residue is a problem, but it is not the main problem here. 2

In contrast, slime molds, marauders, mutants, ...... There are so many things that are more lethal than radiation. 2

Just as Fang Chang was thinking nonsense, the girl was looking at him curiously.

"Don't you believe it?"

Fang Chang shook his head slightly.

"I didn't ...... Actually, we have that saying that there. ”

"Oh, it seems you don't believe me." Dolly looked away with a sigh and continued to tinker with the mechanical arm that was almost installed. 1

Looking at the side face under the short green hair, Fang Chang suddenly moved a trace of compassion. 14

He didn't know where that sentiment was coming from.

Although he also enjoys the game, as a professional gamer, he has always only regarded P as a piece of data, and rarely poured his feelings into any character. 6

This is probably the biggest difference between him and Lao Bai and the edge. 1

The Adam's apple moved, and Fang Changshen spoke.

“…… Have you ever considered a change of environment? ”12

"A change of environment? It's not the same. Throwing away the screwdriver in her hand, she said casually, the silhouette of her face and her voice with a maturity that did not match her age. 1

Fang Chang didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Don't you have dreams? Like what...... What do you want to do? ”1

"What do you want to do?" Dolly thought seriously for a moment and said, "Does opening a bar count?" ”6

“…… I thought you would say you wanted to open a coffee shop or a flower shop. ”1

"Coffee shop? Florist? Is there a store like this in Boulder City? Dolly was confused. 0

"No, it's just that in my hometown, I always hear drunk girls say that...... Can you accompany me in a moment, can I find the doctor who sells biomimetic prosthetics? Fang Chang sighed, reached out and felt his pocket, and found a chip. 5

However, as soon as the words came out, he realized that the last chip in his pocket was white, with a big "1" written on the face value, and the expression on his face couldn't help but become embarrassed. 3

Looking at the sharp contrast between his expression before and after, Dolly couldn't help but snort. 1

Reaching for the chip, she flicked her thumb and threw it into the tin box on the table.

"No problem, I'll have nothing to do for a while anyway." 2

"For the sake of you being such a gentleman last night, I'll go shopping with you for a while." 27

……

Dawning City.

Vault 404, the cramped single room, remembers the sound of a stabbing air leak, followed by a loud scream. 3

"Mom, Lao Tzu is alive." 8

Night Ten, who sat up from the training cabin, picked up the blue coat hanging on the bow of the cabin and put it on, first went to the public bath to take a shower, and then went to the plaza on the B2 floor.

Since it was the peak period of the launch, when he arrived here, there were quite a few people in the square.

Including his acquaintances, Tempest, Quit Smoking, and Mosquito also happen to be here.

I went to say hello to everyone in the morning, and when I saw the mosquito on my sneaky face, I couldn't help but ask curiously. 2

"What are you doing?"

"Go away, go away, don't delay me from getting down to business." 1

Before Ye Shi could roll his eyes, quitting smoking had already complained before him.

"Damn, what can you do?"

“…… He's probably squatting on that P-y guy, I've heard him mention it before. Tempest looked at the mosquito with a blank expression, his eyes slightly strange.

Although there are occasional players who are locked up in a small black room for illegal operations, he seems to be the only one with the same reason as him?

At least he's the only one on his friends list.

Seeing that the mosquito was dead again, the surrounding players also interjected into the topic. 2

“…… I remember! It seems to be the same last time, I heard the tail say that this guy was caught. ”2

"I heard that the people pounced!"

"And haven't touched it yet!"

"It's a shame!"

Quit smoking and look at the mosquito in surprise.

"Damn, brother, are you too much?" 5

The mosquito's face swelled into the color of pig liver, and retorted. 1

"Fuck off! Lao Tzu is just ...... Trying to figure out what that oil is and how it was made. ”6

Without professional analysis equipment, he could only roughly deduce that the bottle of fuel still had some easily identifiable alkanes and olefins, and the rest was confused. 1

He's been looking for the guy named Pai for the past few days, but the little girl seems to have been scared by him and never showed up again. 2

The mosquito couldn't help but feel a little remorseful.

Maybe I should have restrained a little bit at the time. 2

The topic in the square was like a gust of wind, and then it was changed.

Seeing that the time was not early, everyone discussed where to level up for a while.

Yashi looked at the wind.

"Where are we going? Rendezvous at Boulder? ”

Tempest glanced at his right hand. 2

"I'll put my arm on first."

This weak strength always made him feel that something was missing.

At this moment, Ye Shi suddenly remembered a key matter.

"Anyway...... You'll have to take off an arm to load that thing. ”

Tempest nodded.

"Hmm."

Isn't that a matter of course?

Yajuchi glanced at his right hand with a strange expression. 1

"And the arm you removed...... What to do? ”16

Tempest was stunned for a moment.

He hadn't thought about it.

After a moment of silence, he said with a subtle expression.

“…… Find a place to bury it. ”32

……

Browsing room on the B4 floor.

Chu Guang, who was sitting in front of the computer, leaned back on the sofa and stretched.

"It's finally done."

Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the desk, happily gave two thumbs up the size of toothpicks and cheered up.

"The hosts were awesome!" 8

Chu Guang gave it a tired look.

"Thanks for the compliment, if only you could help me more." 2

Gu Xuan

Although this little guy can help him accurately convey every order to the right department, some creative work is still a shortcoming beyond his ability.

Especially in the design of the rules.

Chu Guang read in the history of the People's Federation that in the early days of the Prosperous Era, "i-ism" had arisen on this planet for a while. 0

Its adherents believe that the root cause of the problems of the relations of production and the system of distribution lies in the ugliness of human nature.

Human happiness is born to come from the suffering of others, and there is only one solution, and that is to build a society governed by i, replacing all management departments with artificial intelligence. 7

However, the movement went into decline in the middle of the boom era, and historians have given many evaluations, including several objective observations, including "insufficient hardware and software conditions" and "extreme material prosperity makes people more inclined to maintain the status quo". 7

Chu Guang has reservations about these views, but he can still draw a little lesson from the experience of history.

That is, never let tools replace thinking, hands instead of brains. Never expect a flawless solution to all the problems that come your way down the road. 14

Looking at the nearly 5B text files on the computer screen, Chu Guang's face stretched a relaxed expression. 6

The new consortium has 12 divisions, covering everything from production to economy, to transport and logistics, and to people's lives. 0

He also made a detailed design of the basic strategy and policy route of each department.

Of course, he didn't make it up out of thin air, but it wasn't a complete copy of the experience of another world.

For example, when the Ministry of Education was established, Chu Guang did not refer to the players' brains on the forum, but to ask parents, teachers and students for advice. 1

For wastelanders with an average lifespan of only 35 years, many of them have already passed a statistically significant halfway point by the age of 17. 4

But for players living in peacetime, this age can only say that good days are still to come, and you have to wait patiently to unlock the anti-addiction system. 5

At this time, if a one-size-fits-all approach is adopted, setting a minimum working age and compulsory education time according to the standards of developed planets, the education level of the alliance may be improved, but the families who are not rich will be impoverished by education. 4

Chu Guang adopted a compromise approach, raising the minimum working age and compulsory education time year by year, and dedicating a part of the money to subsidize students with excellent grades.

This is also known as scholarships.

Both adults in evening classes and students in full-time schools can receive a grant as long as they have excellent grades.

Although this money is not enough for them to live a prosperous life, it is enough to subsidize the family.

Education is just one of the many issues he considers, and this long-term investment will not pay off until later. 2

Of all the departments, Chu Guang devoted the most energy to the industrial sector, which was directly related to production. 6

In other departments, he can guide the route and basic framework at most, but when it comes to specific production issues, he even makes a detailed plan for the production capacity of each stage after referring to the opinions of experts in various industries.

Although not all problems can be solved by developing productive forces, at least 99% of the current problems can be solved.

Thanks to the 200 million silver coins infrastructure plan and the 200 million chips loan, he can do a lot now. 2

“…… Speaking of which, a list of purchases will have to be drawn up in a moment. ”

Chu Guang pinched his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and then looked at Xiao Qi, who was sitting at the corner of the table, and commanded.

"Speak to old Charlie for me, and ask him to wait for me at two o'clock in the afternoon at the office of the Merchants' Union."

"Okay master," seeing the tired expression on Chu Guang's face, Xiao Qi said with some worry, "Although it may be a bit verbose to say this, you should also pay attention to your body." ”2

Chu Guang smiled and rubbed Xiao Qi's head with his index finger, with a reassuring smile on his face. 7

"I'll take notice."

At this time, a gust of wind blew at the door of the browsing room.

Looking at Chu Guang, who was fiddling with the dolls on the table, Pai curled the corners of his mouth proudly.

"How? Is my gift for you okay? ”

"Thank you for the gift, it was very decompressing and added a lot of fun to my tedious daily routine." Chu Guang joked and said, "What about the drone I gave you, do you still like it?" ”

"It's amazing!" Pai nodded in satisfaction and boasted, "I modified it a little bit, and now it flies faster!" ”

Chu Guang looked at her with a little surprise, he didn't expect this little girl to have this ability.

But he was only surprised.

Unlike Camp 404, which focuses on industry and military affairs, Camp 101, which is guided by Vault 101, focuses on education and archaeology. 6

Especially this guy is not only talented himself, but also uses the black technology of the pre-war era.

If her stats and talents could be quantified, she wouldn't be at the same level as Hea from Vault 401.

"That ......" glanced left and right, and Pai suddenly became a little embarrassed, and whispered, "Little fish...... Have you talked to her about it? ”

Chu Guang nodded.

"Well, I told her family, and she's willing to continue her studies herself. If you don't have any opinions, I'd like to send a few more people to talk to you. ”

Xiaoyu is a very sensible child, Chu Guang remembered that when he told her about this, she just thought for a moment, and then nodded very obediently.

He could feel that she was reluctant to let go of the people in the shelter, but he could also see her deep desire to grow and become stronger.

She wants to help people more than just sit at the counter and count the money. 1

With more and more people in the new alliance, banks need to think about how to use the invisible hand to make every coin play its rightful role. 1

This involves a lot of knowledge that she doesn't understand, and although she has summed up a little experience in practice, she still needs to learn systematically.

Includes some mathematical methods, as well as knowledge of sociology.

If there is professional guidance, she can also avoid some detours herself.

As for Xiao Yu's family, although they were worried at first, after hearing Chu Guang's promise to guarantee her safety, both his parents and his brother were relieved. 4

The wise and martial manager never breaks his word. 4

No one in the entire northern suburbs will suspect this, neither P nor the player. 1

Hearing Chu Guang's words, Pai jumped up excitedly, patted his chest and said. 3

"Don't worry, I've already told my master about this, and everyone is very happy, and they told me to bring more souvenirs when I come back, hehe...... Especially chocolate and coffee! Oh yes, and that meat bun that will make the soup flow out when you bite into it! It's just delicious! ”4

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"That's easy to say, when I go back, I'll give you another truckload of souvenirs!"

Chu Guang thought that Pai would happily agree.

However, to his surprise, the little girl actually shook her head with a serious face and refused the gift.

"It's a very exciting proposal, but we can't take your advantage for nothing."

"My master said that courtesy is the long-term way to get along with others, and we have to give you some help." 3

Looking at the surprised Chu Guang, she continued seriously.

"But we don't have the money, and we don't have the extra resources to give to you, if only you could provide a solution."

Hearing this, Chu Guang was immediately happy, wasn't that what he was waiting for? 2

With a wealth of new alliances and endless brains and ideas, there's always something for them to satisfy scholars, engineers, and archaeologists.

It doesn't matter if you're not interested in black, white, or art. 6

Isn't there a whole bunch of food?

In addition to the dazzling array of consumer goods, there are also research samples needed for Camp 101 and the shelter behind them.

Even if it's a monster as strong as Deathclaw, as long as the silver and contribution points are in place, his brave little players can get them for them! 8

Chu Guang said with a hearty smile.

"It's easy to do! We don't have rationing, but we pay those who do our work. ”

"Why don't you send a few engineers to us to help us improve our production methods, and in exchange, we'll give you silver!" 2

"If you have anything you like, you don't have to consult with me, you can just buy it from our store with silver coins!"

Pai wrinkled her cute little Joan's nose and fell into deep thought.

"Hmm...... That sounds really good. But...... Everyone has their own work to do, and I'm afraid it's hard to free up manpower. ”1

"Especially now that the Marauders are gone, we plan to move the camp back to the surface, there are too many things to do." 1

Everyone in the camp has their own position, and the "score" that determines the standard of living is also determined according to the position.

After listening to Pai's concerns, Chu Guang said patiently.

"This problem is easy to solve, our people can help you build camps, supply you with the supplies you need for life, and even help you cook, which alone can help you save a lot of manpower." 5

"That way, you can focus more on what you're good at and what you're interested in, and all you need to do is give us a portion of the time you save and help us live a better life."

You can think of this as a ...... Complementary. Tell your Master what I said, and he will surely understand what I am trying to express. ”9

Camp 101 had also tried to recruit some local survivors before, but the scale of cooperation was limited, and it was only a scene of miscellaneous work.

Chu Guang believed that after fully understanding the situation of the new alliance, the residents of Camp 101 would definitely feel the charm of his proposal.

Pai touched her chin and nodded her head as if she didn't understand.

She rarely cared about these things, and the things Chu Guang said were beyond her area of expertise. 1

But it wasn't hard for her to memorize a sentence in its entirety.

"I'll pass your proposal on to the guys at the camp...... Oh yes. ”

Suddenly remembering something, Pai took out a stack of paper full of dense symbols from his pocket and handed it to Chu Guang. 1

Chu Guang took it with a puzzled expression, took it in his hand and flipped through it, although he recognized every word, he didn't understand it at all.

“…… This is? ”

Pai looked to the side delicately, and said with some embarrassment.

"It's the ratio of the components of the fuel and the synthesis pathway, although it's not a particularly powerful thing...... But it also took me a moment to figure it out. ”11

At this, her nose snorted softly.

"Didn't a rude guy underestimate me before, but now that guy should realize how shallow his knowledge is." 8

In the end, it is the age of love and performance, and she is underestimated, of course, she can't help but want to prove herself.

Although the chemical power engine is an antique, with her knowledge of mechanics and aerospace, it is not difficult to get a high-efficiency fuel. 1

Chu Guang looked at the information in his hand in surprise, he didn't expect this unexpected gain. 2

What he didn't expect was that this little girl actually gave such a valuable thing directly to him without reservation. 1

"I ...... Will be handed over to him. ”11

It shouldn't be difficult to ask Xiaoqi to help translate it, and Yin Fang can help with the difficult proper nouns.

Pai nodded in satisfaction.

But soon, she remembered that she couldn't afford to be a cheap fellow, so she added a sentence later.

"By the way, don't let him get it too easily, just show him a page every once in a while." 8

Speaking of which, Pai was in a state of flux.

"My master said that you can't just copy the answers, you have to use your brains to think about how the answers came from!"

Boy.

It's too torturous, isn't it? 1

Chu Guang nodded with a smile and put the information in front of Xiao Qi.

"Good...... I promise not to let him get it easily. ”15

Having received this promise, Pai finally walked away satisfied.

Seeing the excited back disappear at the door of the browsing room, Chu Guang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

than dealing with the relationship with Boulder.

Sure enough, getting along with these lovely people made him feel relaxed and happy. 1

However, as a manager, he cannot decide who to break ties with and who to establish relations with based on personal preferences, and many times he needs to make judgments based on the interests of the collective.

He suddenly missed the "crew" of the Trailblazer. 6

It's been half a year, and I don't know if they've fulfilled their ideals.

Noticing the expression on Chu Guang's face, Xiao Qi, who was sitting in front of the information, asked curiously.

"Master, what are you thinking?"

Retracting his gaze from the door, Chu Guang said casually.

"I'm wondering if it's a real utopia." 2

It's just that it's too small.

It was even smaller than the shelter behind them, only enough for two or three hundred people.

That light wasn't even a flame compared to the entire wasteland...... 19
