Chapter 126 Triumph! And a dinner to celebrate victory!
In the evening, as the last caravan left the north gate of Bate Street, the survivors of Vault 404 went home singing a song of victory.
The residents of Beit Street watched the victors disappear at the end of the street with bewildered expressions. Many of them had not yet recovered from the sound of the cannon in the morning.
At once……
it's over?
No one died.
The most seriously injured person was just an unlucky guard whose face was scratched by sawdust from the shell. After breaking through the gate, the invaders did not burn, kill and loot like the looters, but went straight to the shell.
The castle in the middle of Special Street - just as Zhao Shu and others said, they are here to teach the old mayor a lesson. As long as you stay at home and don't go out, nothing will happen.
As for the old mayor whose whereabouts are unknown, no one cares about his fate. Everything he has done is his own fault. It would be better to say that it would be better for him to die and never appear in front of them.
As for the trophies those people took away, the residents of Beit Street had no feeling at all. Whether it was the food in the granary or the weapons in the armory, these were the property of the old mayor.
He would never share these things with them, and they naturally had no obligation to feel sorry for him.
"Where did you think the mayor went?"
"I don't know, no one seems to have seen him come out of the castle."
"Maybe he disguised himself as a scavenger and sneaked away."
"I think he was beaten to death by those blue jackets."
"I heard that blue coats rarely use force on their own initiative. It seems that the mayor and his family really pissed off these people."
"The new mayor is the old housekeeper?"
"It's not bad, but he is so old...can it be done?"
"What I'm concerned about now is the grocery store... When the grocery store disappears, where can we go to exchange for salt?"
After hearing the residents' conversation, old Charlie coughed and walked in front of everyone.
"The grocery store will be open normally, and I will arrange for a responsible store owner. You don't have to worry. Your life will not be affected in any way because of what happened today. On the contrary, it will be better than before."
"Celebrate this day. The tyrant who oppressed you has been overthrown. No one will sell you inferior goods anymore. The grocery store will be run by the street office and will no longer be for profit. I can guarantee you that.
"
Street office?
what is that?
The residents of Beit Street looked at each other. This was the first time they had heard such an awkward word.
In fact, this was also the first time that old Charlie heard about it.
However, it doesn't really matter what it's called.
A name is just a symbol.
The key still depends on how to do it.
After a group of residents gathered together and chatted for a while, they didn't discuss the reason, and finally dispersed and went about their own business.
…
On the other side, the outpost of Vault 404.
After returning home, Chu Guang asked a few young players of the strength system to help him unload the materials in the caravan, move them into the warehouse and granary and sort them.
There are more than ten tons of grain, more than a dozen furs, and a lot of condiments.
Looking at the almost full granary, Chu Guang experienced the joy of beating the rich for the first time.
This is so cool!
How about... just take down the rich guy next door?
Just when Chu Guang was vacillating between the positions of lawful neutral and lawful evil, the old Luka standing aside reported to him respectfully.
"Sir, while you were out, Brown Farm sent an envoy over."
Chu Guang looked away from the packed granary and looked at Luca.
"Messenger? What did he say?"
Luca nodded.
"He brought a message from Mr. Brown, saying that in order to thank you for your contribution to the survivors in the northern suburbs, he was willing to give you a batch of supplies as a thank you gift. This includes 5,000 kilograms of potato chips and 5,000 kilograms of sugar beets.
, and 5,000 kilograms of corn. At the same time, he also said that he hopes to establish friendly trade relations with us."
Chu Guang looked slightly surprised.
"They are spending a lot of money."
Originally, he thought that after the Battle Street was captured, he would stroll around the entrance of Brown Farm and express in a subtle way that he was short of food. However, he did not expect that they would be so proactive, even before he opened his mouth, he took the initiative to say so.
I would like to send some food over.
At this time, Chu Guang suddenly remembered the Boulder City broadcast he heard on the radio in the mayor's study, and his expression couldn't help but be a little strange.
It seems that I should also thank the host who talks so much about cheating?
Luka nodded and said with emotion: "We have indeed spent a lot of money, so much food... it is not cheap to buy it."
In the past, when merchants from Boulder City came to the farm to buy grain, they would buy it by the cart. The wholesale price varied, but even when it was cheap, 15,000 kilograms of grain would cost thousands of chips.
Moreover, corn and sugar beets are more expensive than potato and green wheat.
After all, the latter is food for "subordinates", while the former is a high-quality staple food and a raw material for sugar production, and the planting cycle will be longer.
Chu Guang estimated that most of these supplies were prepared for the Bloody Hand clan.
Now that the Bloody Hand clan is gone, he has become the most threatening force in the region. The farm probably wants to take this opportunity to establish a friendly relationship with him.
At least, don't develop into an enemy.
Chu Guang accepted this "thank you gift" without any embarrassment, looked at Luka and asked.
"When are they going to deliver the stuff?"
"If the weather is fine, it will be delivered at noon tomorrow. If it snows, it may arrive later."
Having said this, Luka paused for a moment and reminded him.
"In addition, sir, you should have noticed that our granary is full. And now that the base's grain reserves are getting larger and larger, I suggest building special silos for several main reserve varieties, so that the storage of crops can be extended.
It saves time and space.”
There wasn't much food in the base before, and the weather was getting colder, so we just built a shed that could protect us from wind and rain, and piled the food in there.
Now that the population of the outpost is increasing, the food reserves have also increased. It will definitely not work to deal with it casually like before.
If you want to preserve food for a long time, you must not only consider waterproofing and insect-proofing, but also moisture-proofing and fireproofing, etc.
After listening to Old Luka's suggestion, Chu Guang nodded.
"Your suggestion is very good. I will arrange people to assist you. Now I have a task for you. I need you to withdraw 500 kilograms of raw meat, croissant potatoes, green wheat, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, and 500 pounds of raw meat from the granary.
Five barrels of beer and five barrels of wine each were brought from the street and delivered to the north entrance of the outpost."
"There will be a banquet tonight to celebrate our victory on Beit Street."
"All food and drinks shipped to Beimenmen Market will be sold at half price!"
Old Luca nodded after receiving the order.
"As you command!"
…
[Activity: Victory Dinner]
[Explanation: The righteous guns ended the tyranny of Beit Street, and our soldiers triumphed gloriously amidst the applause and cheers of local residents! Celebrate the victory, at the special stalls at the North Gate Market, food and drinks are half price! Weapons
The proprietress of the shop reminds you that although the wine is good, don’t be greedy.】
6pm sharp.
A grand party was held at the north entrance of the outpost to celebrate the day's victory.
The NPC who manages the warehouse has set up a special price stall at the North Gate Market and puts half-priced food on the table for players to choose and buy.
As the first in-game event since the launch of "Wasteland OL", both new and old players were excited and participated with 200% enthusiasm.
Of course, the main reason is because the food is half price!
In the past, you could buy 300g of raw meat for 1 silver coin, but now you can buy it for only 5 copper coins. There are also croissant potatoes, green wheat, and the recently updated cabbage, Chinese cabbage, etc., you can now buy them with very little money.
Come on, if you don’t buy it now, why wait?
Thanks to the slow replenishment speed of the special price stalls, which limits the purchasing power of players, otherwise such cheap food would have been sold out as soon as the event started!
"Wow, sister, sister, the food sold at that stall is so cheap! There are also vegetables!" Qiuye, who sneaked away to join in the fun, ran back to her sister with excitement, took her arm and said, "I'll go and talk to you.
Everyone in the clan said!"
Qiucao looked at her sister with a worried look.
"Can we buy those things?"
Qiuye nodded excitedly.
"Yes! I asked the stall owner! Anyone can buy it as long as they have those small coins!"
"Then... you go and come back quickly."
"Well! Leave it to me!"
After getting her sister's permission, Qiuye ran towards the tribe without stopping for a moment, fearing that if he ran too slowly, he would have nothing when he came back.
Watching her sister running away, Qiucao took out the coins in her bag and counted them. There were 11 silver coins and 24 copper coins in total.
"If it's half price... you can buy more than 20 kilograms of grain."
A happy smile appeared on Qiucao's face.
Fortunately, she persuaded the clan leader to save the money she earned so that she could buy more food.
No one should starve to death this winter.
The two sisters, Akicao and Akiba, are still worried about whether everyone in the clan will starve, and the players over there are already complaining that their stomachs are not enough.
"Damn it! Why can't the tail have two stomachs?"
She was holding a skewer in one hand and a glass filled with beer in the other. Her tail cheeks had swollen like a hamster, and it was hard for her to chew and talk at the same time.
Looking at her friend whose image was shattered, Sisi glanced at her sideways while tasting the wine.
"Awei, do you know that you look like an uncle now?"
Finally, he swallowed the food in his mouth, turned his head after belching, and said nonchalantly.
"We are already in the game world! If we still have to control our diet, what is the difference between it and that garbage game "Earth OL"! Such delicious food is not something you can eat every day, Ass, you are too serious.
Be more dang!"
Sisi: "..."
This guy.
As soon as I got into the game, I completely let myself go.
She is obviously quite ladylike in reality.
Not far away, a certain white bear was happily devouring a whole grilled catfish. The look of such a devoured meal made the nearby players envious.
Of course, the one I envy and hate the most is a certain lizard.
The same alien players, some are eating and drinking outside, while others can only watch helplessly in the shelter.
Junk Jun has been idle in the shelter for a while.
I don't do anything else when I'm online every day. I just wander around on the B2 floor, touching here, looking there, exercising or waiting for my friends to feed me. I log off at 6:11 on time, wash up and go to work.
When you are in the game, your body in reality is equivalent to deep sleep. You put on your helmet at ten o'clock every day, and at dawn the next day, you can go out to work with a lot of energy. Even if you can't do anything, you just fall asleep in this second.
The functionality is also excellent.
To add to the excitement of the celebration, Mosquito lit homemade fireworks in the open space at the north entrance.
As a result, whether there was something wrong with the formula or the way to light the fire was wrong, a flying monkey flew to Teng Teng's stall.
Fortunately no one was hurt.
Only the mosquitoes chased the vines for several hundred meters with a pair of scissors.
In the end, the turmoil ended with Mosquito tearfully buying all the burned dog fur coats.
Except for this small episode, most of the players enjoyed the banquet in a normal manner. The professional players took advantage of the ingredients and cooked specialties from the wasteland into edible dishes in various ways.
The normal ones include white oak grilled venison leg steak, and the abnormal ones include pine nut and sage tail soup and salt-roasted devil moth pupae.
Well, the pupae of devil moths are actually edible, but eating insects still requires some courage.
The entire north entrance is filled with the aroma of delicious food.
Not just good food, but good wine too.
Ten oak barrels as tall as a man and a half were placed next to the special offer stall, with wooden cups hanging next to them, and a sign standing next to them read -
[A glass of beer costs 2 silver coins, and a glass of wine costs 10 silver coins, now on sale at a 50% discount!]
[Note: Each person is limited to one drink at a time. You can buy it again after drinking. No waste! Violators will be fined!]
The cup is a wooden cup collected from the old mayor's castle. As for the size of one cup, it is about 330ml.
Like the food at the special stalls, all drinks are half-price, and players who participate in the daytime action of fighting local tyrants can also get a free drink.
It doesn't matter if you don't drink it, you can sell your cup to other players.
However, I believe no one can refuse the opportunity to taste wine in the game. Even if you get drunk here, it will not affect your work the next day.
Some of the young players staggered around after drinking, and some even lay down directly on the ground. They fluttered every once in a while, probably because they were struggling with the network connection.
"Gan! I suggest the game company open the pain adjustment function!"
"That's right! I can't understand the feeling of being drunk at all! What's the point of drinking?"
"belch……"
Two drunk little players were shouting, and the crow not far away stuck out his tongue, holding a wine glass in his hand, with a bitter look on his face.
"Yue, it turns out that wine is bitter!"
Teng Teng glanced at her: "Have you never drank in real life?"
Crow Crow shook his head like a rattle.
"I'm allergic to alcohol...but it tastes so bad, so I have no regrets."
Qiuye, who had run back to the village to call for help, now ran back with everyone.
Looking at the excitement and prosperity of the celebration, the eyes of these nomads were full of curiosity, surprise, and deep envy!
BBQ!
Scones!
And wine!
So rich!
Not far away, the team of cattle and horses, Brother Mole and other high-ranking players who had formed a group to explore the "Greenhouse Ruins" were pulling back the loot in a caravan.
Looking at the bustle at the north entrance, everyone was stunned for a moment. Soon, the VM worn on their arms received an active pop-up window, and they were instantly dumbfounded.
"What the hell, what's going on?"
"Victory dinner?!"
"There's a war?! What the hell, when I come back, it's already over?!"
Looking at the confused old acquaintances who were eating skewers and drinking beer at the north gate, he said with a smile.
"The fight is over! Beit Street will be our territory from now on!"
Ye Shi came back to his senses and asked immediately.
"This is our territory? Giao, do you have any top-notch equipment?"
The man under the knife shook his head.
"No, but the mission reward is okay, there are 50 silver coins. I don't know if the war rules have changed, or the reward rules for attacking and defending the city are different. There was no auction this time, so I gave out money and contributions, and also paid
There is a chance to draw a lottery. The lottery is a bit interesting, but there is nothing good. It is probably a plan to test the lottery system. I don’t understand."
Lao Bai glanced at the large handful of skewers in his hand, and it was obvious that this was not enough to be eaten in a short while.
"Don't you go to work during the day? Why don't you go offline?"
The man under the knife said with a smile.
"Tomorrow, Saturday, I'll take Mao's class."
"You have two weekends off!" Lao Bai looked envious, "This is so cool."
"There are few things to do, little money, and nothing interesting. Sometimes I feel that it doesn't matter whether or not I am in this unit." The man who drinks and eats meat suddenly let out a long sigh, expressing the sentiments of many players, "
It would be great if it could be online 24 hours a day!”
