After the adjournment of the meeting.

Almost all of them, including reporters from Ideal City, Li Ke from the Academy, and others who had nothing to do with the ceasefire negotiations, left the chamber one after another. Except for the representatives of the legion.

Cohen sat motionless in his seat, staring angrily at Chu Guang, who was sitting across the negotiating table.

Including the Willant officers standing behind him, their angry expressions almost wished to eat him. Only Chu Guang looked confused, and he didn't know where he offended these big noses.

Fortunately, that Cohen didn't let him guess for himself, and he vented his anger bluntly.

"I'm very unhappy with your wording, we are an unconditional ceasefire, there is no winner in this war, you shouldn't use the word victory!" That's it...... Chu Guang sighed in his heart.

Everyone said that everyone will win, and Lao Tzu will say to his subordinates what's wrong, and it's not that he didn't give you a chance to speak. It's your own self who has to pretend to be forced, a sentence of "there is a lot of nonsense"

Blame who is to blame for this opportunity

I knew that you were so careful, Lao Tzu should have taken nineteen pens, wrote one pen for another, and tortured you for a few more minutes. The excess can also be used for the raffle. What a loss

"This is really not appropriate," Wu Chang coughed, glanced at Chu Guang next to him, and said without pain, "This is a ceasefire negotiation, using the word victory...... It can be misleading. Looking at the pair of hostile eyes shooting from across the negotiation table, Chu Guang didn't take it to heart and said indifferently. What does it matter, does the media in Ideal City still have a branch in Triumph City?" Wu Changnian thought about it and nodded. "That's just as well."

He was also a little surprised that Cohen would react so much to that sentence, it was obvious that he was saying it to his subordinates, and it was too trivial to get angry. However, from the position of the enterprise, he still has to say something to make a round, after all, the ceasefire agreement has been signed, and it is not good for anyone to make extraneous complications at this time.

Cohen looked at Chu Guang coldly, and finally snorted, stood up with his hands on the table, grabbed his own ceasefire agreement, and left the council hall with a group of officers without looking back.

The players who were eager to try it on the side showed disappointed expressions, especially a few guys who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

It seems that the gold coins of these old things can't explode Seeing the backs of those few bleak people leave, Chu Guang looked at Wu Changnian who was sitting on the side.

"Have you gotten the coordinates of the crew of the Pioneer," Wu Changnian nodded.

"They've given it to us, Commando 26 has arrived near the target area under the leadership of Yun Song, and the entrance to Vault 0 is also there, and there is a mutant tribe nearby. The Legion has terminated its mercenary contract with them, and we can dispose of those mutants at will. Chu Guang said with a subtle expression.

"I've been weird before, mutants in the Great Desert······· He even made a deal with humans. "Aren't humans just pure breeding tools and food in their eyes, which sounds as strange as negotiating terms with the takeout they ordered? Wu Changnian shrugged his shoulders.

"I also think it's strange, but according to the legion's own explanation, the previous commander-in-chief of Luoxia Province, General Klaas, may have reached some kind of agreement with those mutants, and there were also mutant mercenaries in the expedition a year ago."

"And according to the information we've gotten, those mutant mercenaries' fearless attack methods and terrifying self-healing abilities will make even soldiers in power armor feel tricky."

But it's just tricky. The Death Corps fought the mutants.

According to the evaluation of Edge Paddle himself, those guys are just a bunch of elite monsters with a slightly thicker blood bar, and they are not even as tough as the elite group of Willantes they encountered on the 330 Heights

After a pause, Wu Changnian continued.

Cohen claimed that the marshal did not know about it, that Joseph

What should be known, but don't want to talk about it...... In any case, Klaas is dead, Griffin is dead, and McLaan is still alive, but not much is known. It's not a glorious thing, and they can't look it up for your curiosity. Chu Guang raised his eyebrows.

"In other words, we have to wipe their butts for them," Wu Changnian nodded. "Yes." Chu Guang said with a smile.

"Hehe, they cleaned up this piece of, and the previous one didn't care about this one." Wu Changnian nodded again and looked at the young ally seriously.

"Yes. Although you may know it in your heart, I still have one more word of advice to give you, be careful of them, be careful of all of them, whether there is a little episode or not, they will not forget the shame of today', and once you show your weak and deceitful face, they will not hesitate to show their teeth and then be ready to move......... They are a race designed to fight in their own right. Griffin is, Cohen is too, whoever comes here is it. ”

That's why the Business Support Coalition is holding the town of Bicester. They need a trustworthy friend to help them keep an eye on the dishonest Willantes.

The commotion of those guys had alerted the Council to the fact that the Great Desert could not stop the ambitions of the Willants, even if it was just for the sake of peace in the Province of the Clouds, they could not stay out of it entirely

Chu Guang pursed his lips. "No wonder they can talk to mutants."

"Those are two different things...... But then again, I was shocked to see that there were gray-black mutants in this wasteland. Wu Changnian sighed and continued with emotion

"I thought the blue mutants with cheeks were outrageous enough...... How many secrets are there in this world that we don't know. Chu Guang disagreed with his words.

Whether it's green or blue, gray or black or colorful, as long as it's a mutant, he doesn't plan to stay alive.

This monster, which bundles predation and reproduction and writes it into its DNA along with hatred of man, should not have existed in this world in the first place. They're like goblins.

Every mutant cub has a blood debt behind it.

After seeing the hellish situation in the mutant lair on No. 76 Street in Qingquan City, he didn't plan to negotiate with any mutants, thinking that the old friends on the Pioneer were actually staying with that group of brutes, Chu Guang couldn't help but clench his fist resting on his knees, "I have a small request. "

"What requirements?" Wu Changnian's eyebrows couldn't help twitching, he now had a headache when he heard this guy say the words requirements and suggestions. However, to his surprise, this time the guy didn't say anything embarrassing.

"Before withdrawing from Oasis 2, I'd like to drive my Iron Heart some further west to pick up our old friend home."

Wu Changnian was stunned, and a strange expression appeared on his face. What a strange request

It's a little weird, but he certainly won't refuse.

"No problem...... It's better to say thank you, the airflow environment of the Great Desert is very unstable, and the performance of killer whales and cloud flies is said to be very bad, and a smile appeared on Chu Guang's face. "Let's put it that way."

Shortly after the signing of the cease-fire agreement, the company's troops stationed in Falcon City released "migratory birds" and gave wings to the news of victory.

The drone flew over the desert, over river valleys, through mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at the city-state on the east coast shortly after dark.

Holographic projection fireworks were set off over the city, and the council building in the center used an entire wall as a screen to show all the residents of the city

Including the speech of Wu Changnian, Vice Minister of General Management.

And that includes the words of his allies, the Coalition and Vault 404 administrators. "It's an honor to be with you to witness this moment." "This is a victory that belongs to us" Yes.

It's a victory!

The West Coast Willant are ashamed to admit military defeat in the province of Lok Ka, and the euphemistic rhetoric is only a fig leaf for the losers, as evidenced by the expressions of the big-nosed men who signed the cease-fire agreement.

For the melon-eating masses on the endpoint cloud, compared with Vice Minister Wu Changnian's tirade, it is obvious that Chu Guang's concise victory is more popular with people. Chu Guang didn't expect it either.

I actually became popular in the ideal city again because of a big truth that I didn't brag. A "Battle Royale" discussion forum operated by Skull Studios.

Because the developer identity of this game is too hardcore, it has attracted countless netizens who are not interested in virtual reality games, but are very interested in the alliance.

The CEO named Xue Hongliang is also very good at things, and he replaced the virtual community with "This is our victory!" , which attracted the applause of countless players and passers-by. On this day worth celebrating, there is no one here discussing the game anymore, and almost everyone is cheering about the victory that has just arrived. A group of bizarre avatars cheered in the square. "This is our victory!!"

"Wake up, brother, the ground force we sent only has one commando team and an experimental android unit, what does it matter to us whether we win this war or not?" Doesn't that show the wisdom of the Council? None of the residents of Ideal City died for this, and it was easy to win the final victory!" Belch...... There were still a few dead on the way. "

"Admin come and blast out this guy who doesn't know how to watch the atmosphere."

"Hahaha! I love their managers! Compared to that long-winded middle-aged man, he is still a young handsome guy who has more appetite for me!" Woowoo, when will flights to the alliance be opened? I've never been outside of the Cloud Province!

"I'm afraid that's a bit difficult, I heard that the River Valley Province is the hometown of the Claws of Death, even if the Alliance is our ally, it's a bit dangerous to go to that kind of place." "Anyway, thank goodness ...... "Our boss can finally get back to make games!" Looking forward to it"

"Hopefully he'll come back alive." "Night City" bar.

As the theme party of Victory Day, the BGM that was played today is a song "created" by the residents of Aurora City.

Figures swayed on the dance floor, and symbols of smiling faces flickered on LED masks. Under the red, yellow and blue neon flashes, the retro music rhythm unexpectedly fits the atmosphere of the live carnival.

Sitting in the corner of the bar, Fang Chang quietly looked at the figures not far away, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful in his heart.

He probably missed the expansion of this "Ten Thousand Miles of Yellow Sand", but he didn't waste any time in the past few months. During his time at Yunjian University, he learned a lot of things that opened his eyes, including the business models that are popular in the city, including the common management methods here.

He can now be sure that the developers of Wasteland Online have at least one team of consultants made up of experts in politics, economics, military, history, culture, religion, etc., to be responsible for the minutiae of the details. For example, the currency of a business.

At first, he thought that the abbreviated credit was just a skin-changing game currency, but when he looked deeper, he realized that the core of this thing actually coincided with the real-life concept of "DeF (decentralized finance)". Wrong.

It's obviously insulting to Cr to describe it like that.

In reality, DeFi is still in the exploratory period, and it is still too far from stability, and most of the digital currencies issued based on this theory are tricks of flying kites and cutting lettuce, but in this virtual game, decentralized finance in the real sense has been realized on a small scale, at least in Ideal City and Cr.

For example, the most basic one, every resident of the ideal city is the main body of credit currency issuance, and it is also the guarantee of currency issuance.

Traditionally, central banks have relied on a variety of financial instruments to inject money into the market. But whether it is to lend money to enterprises to expand production, or to lend money to residents for consumption, the beer and foam poured on the top of the pyramid cannot benefit everyone on the pyramid equally.

There may even be cases where some people don't drink beer, but drink a stomach full of foam, and some people drink beer until they vomit, and the foam is not tasted at all. But the ideal city based on the credit framework is a different story

The smart contract based on quantum algorithm programming ensures the fairness and fairness of the transaction, and the attributes of its credit currency itself and a series of financial rules determine that all people involved in production will benefit equally because of the prosperity of production.

Of course, this system has its drawbacks, equality does not mean average, and it is impossible for everyone to live in a room with a window and live on the upper floor of a building. In addition, because of the limits of the rules themselves, not only does it not limit monopolies, but even encourages mergers between the "production departments" within the enterprise. So much so that in places like Ideal City, the monopoly that has been formed is more difficult to break, and there is no force outside the rules that can correct it. Unless the monopolist itself is eliminated from the market due to operational crises or accidents, this is basically difficult.

The board of directors, whose seats are determined by shares, is not likely to push for a monopoly restriction bill, but at best restricts the "productive sectors" that have formed monopolies in the form of checks and balances, so that they can benefit from the exploitation of the employees of the enterprises living in this system.

After all, in this peculiar economic system, every inhabitant is the subject of the currency and has become a part of the currency. From a philosophical point of view, although this leads to a high degree of "monetization" of credit and the loss of one's attributes as a human being, it can also be interpreted as "liberating ordinary people from the debt relations of the old era" and everyone is their own creditor and will no longer become a slave of money, or become a slave of others because of money.

In addition to the side effect of monopoly, overly conservative credit expansion strategies make it difficult for start-ups like Skull Studios to stand out, and for people who don't like to play by the rules or aren't familiar with the rules, it's hard to adapt to life here.

But on the other hand, the risks to the entire economic system have been compressed to a jaw-dropping level.

In the past century and a half, this small society with a population of millions or even tens of millions has not had a single real economic overheating or depression. The whole system is running smoothly upward, slowly but surely

He had never seen such a stable economic curve with such a slope! In reality, if there was such a strong certainty in the economy above the middle size, and there was not even a trace of ups and downs, it would have stepped on the accelerator and accelerated.

The slope is not aligned with the Y axis, which is simply sorry for this investment opportunity that is sure to make a profit, and there will be no such "sure but slow" situation at all.

The most secret thing is that this maverick economic system can seamlessly connect with the old-time economy, including the Union, which follows the tradition of one vote! Neither import nor export operations nor foreign aid expenditures have had any impact on the smooth operation of the entire economy. There is no doubt that this is a model that does not exist in reality.

If the game were to be as true as it claimed, I'm afraid this particular model alone would be enough to drive economists around the world insane!

Of course, this system built with Cr as a cornerstone has become outrageously complex. Even the residents who live in the ideal city may only know the tip of the iceberg

Not to mention that he was an outsider.

But just knowing a little bit about it shocked him

In this small half year of study, Fang Chang even had the illusion that some not-so-"avant-garde" sociological knowledge or experience could be put in the real world.

Even if it's just theoretical.

Since his financial freedom, he has become a professional gamer with interest, and he has rarely paid attention to the financial field. However, this game made him regain interest in the major he had put down, and even went to college in the game. Life is really full of accidents......

At this moment, the electronic wind chimes hanging at the door of the bar swayed gently, and a tall beauty walked in from outside.

Although Li Shuyue's appearance is not the most outstanding in a place like Ideal City, where there are many men and women, the straight and monotonous OL formal wear and her unique capable temperament are very special in this kind of cyberpunk bar.

So much so that as soon as she entered the door, Fang Chang saw her at a glance. Also seeing the existence that was out of place with the surroundings at a glance, Li Shuyue walked straight to him and sat on the chair that pulled away automatically.

"…… The company's meeting was delayed for a while, I hope I didn't keep you waiting, and I have a treat today. "

"It's okay, it's still two minutes before the agreed time," Fang Chang said with a smile after glancing at the holographic clock on the wall, "I actually just arrived a few minutes ago." "Is there only one thing you want to say when you see me?" "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your treat." Li Shuyue rolled her eyes.

At this time, she suddenly noticed the "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" and "Introduction to Economics" on the table, as well as the uniform of Yunjian University on his body, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said in a mocking tone. "You're looking at this in a bar"

"Just came out of night school," seeing her strange expression, Fang Chang shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said in a half-joking tone, "No way, the wasteland guests from our township don't understand the rules, so we can only take advantage of your relaxing time after work to learn more." Li Shuyue seriously suggested.

"We are used to leaving professional things to professional people, and if you want to take advantage of the rest time to recharge, I recommend you to take management as an elective. Fang Chang said with a smile. "Well, I chose it too." Li Shuyue: "!!"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Fang Chang continued.

"Speaking of which, how did you come up with the idea of doing business here?" Originally, he was going to go to the library for a while and then go offline, but suddenly this guy called out, saying that he wanted to talk about business.

After agreeing, he found out that the location was actually in a "Night City" bar not far from the Cloud University Building. Li Shuyue replied casually.

"You don't have to go to a café at night." "So why do you have to be at night?"

"No one expected you to win today, you should have told me in advance!" Li Shuyue said with some complaints. Fang Chang smiled, but did not speak.

Of course, he knew that the coalition would win tonight, and even before the news reached Ideal City, the second the ceasefire was officially signed. However, the information exchange between players and players is not shared with NPCs outside the alliance, and considering that the other party may have a relationship with the council, he did not mention this recommendation, and if the council side misunderstands that he has a message transmission channel that they don't understand, it may be a little troublesome. Unsure whether the other party will care about this detail, his habit is to always treat it as "will" by default. Seeing that Fang Chang didn't intend to explain, although Li Shuyue felt a little depressed, she didn't continue to dwell on this trivial matter. After all, the other party really has no obligation to tell himself inside information

"In short, I hope to implement the business plan that I have negotiated before twelve o'clock this morning, just use the manuscript you submitted to me last time........ I still need you to check the details, if there are no accidents, I will use that one, I hope there are no accidents."

This was the first commercial collaboration between the company and the alliance, and she had been preparing for it for months, not wanting to be preempted by other speculators who smelled fishy. She had a hunch.

The alliance will become a new growth point for overseas profits of enterprises!

As she spoke, she took out a holographic computer pen from her briefcase and placed it on the table, handing him an AR glasses that were directly connected to the computer. Although the manuscript was not a trade secret, it was not suitable for public display. Fang Chang, who took the glasses, couldn't help but complain in his heart

Serious business cooperation is put in the bar to talk, this Party A is simply wrong.

"Twelve o'clock in the morning..."Is it okay to be so late?" Clicking on the light blue holographic pop-up window and looking at it twice, Fang Chang asked casually while doing the final inspection. "In this city, time is credit, credit is everything!! No matter how many professional books you read, it is better to memorize this sentence. ”

Glancing at the flickering words on the electronic silver screen not far away, Li Shuyue suddenly thought of something, waved her hand to summon the ordering robot, and tapped her index finger twice on its head.

Soon, two glasses of special spirits were served.

"By the way, I almost forgot, congratulations," looking at Fang Chang, who was seriously reviewing, Li Shuyue picked up one of the rainbow-colored cocktails and touched the edge of the other glass, and said lightly, "

Congratulations on your victory in the war. ”

"But your expression tells me you're sorry." Looking at her serious expression, Fang Chang couldn't help but make a joke to adjust the atmosphere. "Yes," Li Shuyue rolled her eyes as she took a sip of her cocktail, "I almost took in a homeless awakened person." "It's not funny at all." If the spring is pushed by someone. That's it. However, he believed in his partners.

Those guys weren't usually very serious, but they never let him down when it was time to get serious. And he won't let them down either.

Smiling happily, Fang Chang picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it slightly. "Cheers" and "———bang" for our long-term friendship and victory thousands of miles away

Brilliant fireworks also bloomed in the sky above Dawning City.

Compared to the ideal city that is about to end in the first half of the night, the sky in the river valley province is not so dark, but the lively atmosphere is not inferior. The streets of Dawn City were lit up with lights, and the residents of the Vault seemed to know early on that victory would come today.

Although there is no holographic projection enough to cover the entire canopy, and there is no "floor-to-ceiling screen" that is high to a meter, the excitement and joy in the hearts of the survivors living here are not lost to their friends on the east coast.

In particular, the heat and excitement flowing in the veins were even stronger than those of the residents of Ideal City. They are the ones who have seen this war! They have defeated the invincible legion!

Even for a short moment, they managed to accomplish a miracle that was almost impossible in the eyes of countless wastelanders—defeating the Legion on a frontal battlefield! The legacies of those who rise high above are not invincible, and the alliance has proven it.

Together, they can even beat the areas where the Willantes are best and proud!

Players may not feel it that strongly, but in the hearts of every survivor of the Alliance, a hot mark has been unknowingly imprinted. The young sprouts have already broken through the cemented soil. The old times are coming to an end.

In the future, it is not only the cold winter that will leave, but also the desolation in people's hearts.

The new protagonist will go to the stage of history, and it will be an era that belongs to all wastelanders, not just the lucky few who are chosen. Everyone was convinced

One day, the old order will fall to us!

The fireworks that bloom in the night illuminate every face that looks up. The cheers in the streets made every Vault dweller and every Wasteland guest from the wilderness feel very familiar.

"Long live the Union" "Long live the victory!" Long live the manager" this night.

Many people are destined to be unable to sleep.

1 second to remember:
