The trading post of Dawning City is full of people's shouts, and the caravan pedestrians passing through the gate are endless, from day to night.

Ruts of different thicknesses cut into a staggered chessboard on the ground, and a dazzling array of rare and exotic treasures were piled up on the stalls.

Among them are the eight-pack octopus-like manipulator produced by the Boulder Military Industry, the clocks and jewels produced from the Hump Kingdom, the general-purpose android maids and attendants imported from the Ideal City, and even the exotic spices from the Far Sea Continent and the soap produced by the Legion.

In short, there is nothing you can't think of the goods here, and there is nothing you can't buy.

Long ago, the market in Dawning City changed its business model, retaining the commodity trading point officially operated by the alliance while leasing the expanded trading space to individuals.

The stalls were rented by both local merchants and residents of the shelter, as well as foreign traders.

Since the wave has not yet begun, it has gradually become lively as winter has passed.

Especially now that the news of the end of the wave has spread, it has added a touch of festivity to the prosperity here.

"Have you had any happy events lately?"

Stopping in front of a stall, the man in a gray long-collared coat glanced up at the decorations hanging in front of the stall and asked casually.

He had a slightly darker complexion, deep wrinkles on his brow and the corners of his eyes, a weather-beaten look, and a suitcase in his hand.

The stall owner glanced at him, and only felt that this person was a little raw, thinking that it should be a merchant from a far away, so he said with a smile.

"Your Excellency the Administrator has led us through the tide, and in three days there will be a celebration of victory here, which is our old tradition, and you are here for the first time?"

"Not really, but the last time I was here, it was a wilderness." The man glanced around, made a helpless expression and said, "Just now, I thought I had read the wrong map. ”

Look at his unseen appearance, the stall owner said with a smile.

"That must have been years ago! This area is now under the control of the Alliance, and it is no longer the wilderness of a few years ago. ”

Although he hadn't been here in years, the man didn't seem to be new to the word Alliance, and had apparently heard rumors about it elsewhere.

"I've heard that the administrator of Vault 404 and his inhabitants have built a thriving utopia in the wasteland, uniting all the suffering survivors, and vowing to make the end of the wasteland era their life's ......"

The stall owner smiled embarrassedly.

"Haha, it's not as exaggerated as the rumors, but it's okay...... By the way, friend, where are you from? ”

The man said.

"Southern Seas."

The stall owner looked at him in amazement.

"Southern Seas? ...... to the south On a small island? I heard that the scenery there is good. ”

It was too far away, and the provinces of Haiya and Jinchuan were in turmoil, so he really didn't know much about it.

The man smiled bitterly and said with a helpless expression.

"If you call a sea beast that can lift waves tens of meters high a few hundred meters a landscape...... Then you should love that place. ”

The stall owner snorted and said embarrassedly.

"Haha, it seems that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read...... If you don't count the brood in the city center, our biggest guy here would be in charge of the adult's mount. ”

The man froze.

"Sit...... Mounts? ”

"A claw of death," the stall owner said with a look of pride on his face, as if the man riding on the back of the claw of death was himself, "even the mighty claw of death is prostrate at his feet, there is nothing on this planet that he can't defeat...... Including the brood in the city center! ”

The man couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows, and he wanted to laugh but felt that it was not polite, so he said to himself that you have little knowledge.

But there was a word from the stall owner that caught his attention.

"You say he beat the brood in the city center...... What is the meaning? ”

The stall owner said proudly.

"It's literal, he killed the guy who couldn't even win the war construction committee, not only this year's wave, but there will be no more in the future."

The man stared dumbfounded, his chin opened slightly.

Killed......

How do you get to kill that thing?!

He's been working on mutant slime molds for a few years now, and the thing that makes it so bad is that as long as there's a little bit of scum left, it pops up endlessly, and each rebirth makes it even more tricky than the last.

In fact, he had come for the brood this time, but the guy in front of him told him...... That brood was killed?

Seeing that the man was stunned and didn't speak for a long time, he asked questions vigorously, and he didn't mean to buy anything at all, and the stall owner gradually lost interest in continuing to chat with him.

However, in the end, he opened the door to do business, and in line with the idea of not offending people, he was embarrassed to drive people directly, so he reminded him "kindly".

"If you want to get to know Dawn, I suggest you buy the latest newspaper and order a beer at the Highway Town Inn on the doorstep. There's no one to sit in the lobby all day, and there's never a shortage of people to talk to...... The stories I heard from the mercenary traders were far more wonderful than what I had heard here, especially the lame old Hook, who had been here since the time when Dawn was a wilderness. ”

"Thank you, I'll refer to your suggestion." The man also seemed to sense that the stall owner was not interested in him, so he politely replied that he was going to say goodbye.

"You're welcome, my name is Zhang Datong, if you need wholesale hardware tools or automatic rifles, you can find me...... By the way, what do you do? ”

"I'm a manager." The man spoke honestly.

"Tube...... Intendant?! The stall owner did not react at first, until he repeated his words, and his eyes widened.

"Uh...... But it's not the manager here," seeing the stall owner's stunned face, the man suddenly remembered something, and said helplessly, "No offense, although I know that the manager has a special meaning to you, there are actually more shelters in this world than you think." By the way, if I want to meet your managers...... How do I meet him? ”

Zhang Datong was stunned for a long time with his mouth open, then calmed down, staring at the man with his eyes.

“…… Really? Which refuge are you? ”

As if guessing that he would be suspicious, the man sighed and rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, revealing the slightly faded VM.

"Vault 70, manager Sun Yuechi."

However, what he didn't expect was that the stall owner quickly lost interest in the moment he saw him take out the VM, instead of his jaw falling to the ground in surprise.

"Hey, what does this thing mean?" Zhang Datong glanced at his mouth disdainfully, and his expression of suspicion turned into deep suspicion, "Isn't it just a vital signs detector?" There are many people who have this thing. ”

Sun Yuechi was stunned, and was about to theorize with a smile, but before he could speak, the stall owner continued.

"Even if you're the manager, what about your power armor?"

"Moving...... Power armor? ”

"That's right," Zhang Datong looked at him strangely, "You said you were a manager, so you have a power armor, right?" ”

Sun Yuechi looked at him blankly.

Power Armor and Managers ......

Is there a necessary connection between the two?

Seeing that his down-and-out bear didn't look like he could take out that thing, Zhang Datong's eyes couldn't help but have a hint of contempt, and he was embarrassed to tell him that their managers could walk around in power armor without turning on the power supply.

"Forget it, I guess you won't be able to get it either...... There must be a mount, right? ”

"I ......" Sun Yuechi blushed and couldn't say a word.

Not wanting to embarrass this guy, Zhang Datong waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, I've seen a lot of people like you, and every once in a while, someone buys a blue coat and comes here to cheat, claiming that he is a shelter resident. Hey, self-proclaimed manager, I'm seeing you for the first time. I'll just treat you as a brag, find someone else to brag, I don't have time to accompany you. ”

Sun Yuechi held back the words that came to his lips, glared at the hippie smiling stall owner fiercely, turned around and walked away with his suitcase.

Anyway, how do the residents here feel stupid.

He was looking forward to it when he heard about the rumors of the alliance, but he didn't think it would be like that.

Thinking of something in his heart, Sun Yuechi, who walked to the door of the trading post, stopped, and suddenly changed his mind to visit the manager directly.

Maybe......

The guy with the unsmart brain was right.

Why don't you go to the Highway Town inn and buy a newspaper first, as he said, and secretly observe what is going on here, and then make a decision......

……

Meanwhile, the Highway Town Inn not far from the trading post.

Lisa, dressed in an apron, made her way through the crowd, placed a tray full of beer on a wooden table, and hurried to the back kitchen.

Looking at the little girl's busy appearance, Old Hook couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

At first, he only sympathized with this little girl's miserable background, but after getting along for a long time, he unconsciously regarded her as his daughter.

It just so happened that he had no children.

While Lisa was resting, he stopped the industrious little girl and handed her a small bag of silver coins.

"I want you to rest for a few days, just start tomorrow, this is your salary for this month, and come back to work after the celebration is over in three days."

Lisa was slightly stunned and asked in a panicked whisper.

"Is there anything I'm not doing well?"

Old Hook grinned.

"No, on the contrary, you are doing well, and it is precisely because of this that you need to rest more, what is the point of not spending money if you make money? Go buy yourself some new clothes, the homeless people are staring at me, and I don't want to be called the boss who oppresses the employees. ”

In order to prevent the rescued poor people from being oppressed by unscrupulous bosses, the Alliance's homeless homes will regularly visit the rescued people who have obtained the status of League residents.

This is an initiative proposed by the residents of the shelter.

It is said that the reason is that those nosy blue coats discovered that a certain black-hearted company had an ulterior motive in recruiting a large number of "regulated" workers, and used their desire to become residents of the alliance to squeeze them without a bottom line.

These include, but are not limited to, refusing to enforce the declarations of managers at the Victory Day celebrations, continuing to exploit laborers under the old law, and making them work on the production line for twelve hours in a row without overtime pay.

And the end result was also very happy, the manager did what he said and let the guy get out, which made the headlines of the "Survivor Daily".

Soon after this, the homeless homes had a return visit system.

Old Hook, of course, was not worried about the return visit of the homeless home, nor was he worried about any bad rumors, after all, he asked himself if he had done anything unpleasant.

He just felt that she should live a little more sunny at her age, and if he had children, he would want his children to be like her.

Yes...... Living in the sun.

What an extravagant desire.

Old Hook suddenly sighed in his heart, this was not the first time, he even forgot that he was living in the wasteland.

Receiving the old man's kindness, Lisa held the money bag in the palm of her hand and whispered.

"But...... Won't the celebration be busy? Isn't it really okay if I'm not there? ”

"It's all right," Old Hook smiled and waved his hand, signaling that she didn't care, "I'll ask a few temps to help." ”

Debt, who was sitting at the bar drinking beer, burped and raised his wobbly right hand.

"Can I register first? Or tell me when to send the task, and I'm ready to grab the order. ”

Recognizing the regular, Old Hook scolded with a smile.

"You? I can't afford it, and I want to leave some money for myself to retire. ”

Lying next to the wine bottle, the debtor's big eyes said with a sad face.

"Eightfold...... Oh no, 50% off, who will give me a job, anything can be done, as long as you can make money. ”

Lao Bai patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"What's wrong brother, downcast?"

Irena, who was eating a lizard-tailed skewer, looked at him with a comical expression.

"No, how much does your hobby cost?"

"Fuck off."

The debtor's big eyes turned red, as if he knew that this group of dogs must be trying to hack themselves, so he rushed back, but he was not embarrassed to say where he had wasted all his money.

However, his good brother didn't hide it for him, and said it with a smile.

"This guy bought more than a hundred nibbles."

More than a hundred nibbles?!

When they heard this, all the people were astonished.

"Good fellow...... Your intelligence is not low. ”

"A hundred nibblers have a hammer."

"Ten thousand silver coins......" Fang Chang touched his chin and thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem to be too expensive...... Don't you want to hollow him out. ”

The price of a light cavalry exoskeleton is really not too expensive for veteran players of the A test, and at most it is only mediocre.

The game's credits increase with both Contribution Level and Sequence Level.

Irena also looked suspiciously at the big eyes lying on the table, always feeling that things were not so simple.

Sure enough, the construction site guy continued to dismantle the stage with a smile on his face.

"If only that's it, but can my big-eyed brother accept that his subordinates are a bunch of retards? Obviously not! So the brother gave each niver a gun, although it was an iron tube rifle, but the 7mm bullet always cost money, right? ”

"Well, that's right." Irena calculated, this is indeed not a small number.

"Really?" The construction site guy shrugged his shoulders and continued, "And you know, the gnawers usually stand there stupidly and don't move, barely able to maintain the balance of organic matter...... According to his startled play, not only did he have to feed the ammunition of the gnawers, but he also had to solve their nutritional problems. ”

"Okay, don't talk about it, I'm a two-stroke." The big eyes of debt covered their faces, and they were about to cry.

The construction site boy and the bricks were not yet finished, and hehe smiled and hooked his shoulder.

"Don't, brother, I'm not done yet."

The debt-ridden big eye pushed this guy's hand away.

"Get out! I don't have you as a brother! ”

Lao Bai: "Hahaha! ”

The people sitting at the bar were talking and laughing, looking at their good relationship, Lisa, who was holding the plate, couldn't help but purse the corners of her lips.

However, happiness in this world is always equal.

Some rejoice, others grieve.

Just when everyone was talking and laughing to help Big Eyes come up with bad ideas, a surprised exclamation suddenly sounded in the luxurious standard room of the backyard annex.

"What?! They're not selling?! ”
