Chu Guang slept in for the first time in a long time. He left Resurrection Square at nine o'clock in the morning and strolled to the snack street in the north of the outpost. He ordered two cages of soup dumplings, two cages of small steamed buns and three cups of soy milk, and then went
I found an inconspicuous seat at the Zhang Hai Ramen stall.
Although this meal was an explosion of carbohydrates and calories, in terms of his metabolism, it was just a drop in the bucket.
"A bowl of ramen, thank you."
Milky white mist floated on the big pot, and there was an endless stream of diners in front of the stall.
Today's ramen master Zhang Hai was as full and busy as ever. His head was almost buried in the pot, and he had no time to look up and shout across the big pot.
"Okay! Do you want thin slices or thick slices?" Chu Guang said with a smile.
"Thin, let me see how thin the thinnest one can be."
For the first time, Zhang Hai was amused when he heard someone ask him to cut it thinner.
"Hey, are you kidding me? I'm the thinnest here -" He just raised his head to see who it was, but his eyes suddenly froze through the white mist, "What the hell, manager?!"
Since he was not wearing powered armor, many people did not recognize Chu Guang, including Zhang Hai. They were dumbfounded until they saw that spring breeze smile.
The two communicated in Mandarin and did not attract the attention of other NPC diners. Chu Guang gave him a low-key look and then started to enjoy the Xiao Long Bao he brought.
After a while, a bowl of beef noodles was served on the table. The beef slices were thicker than silver coins. When the other little players saw this, they immediately screamed unhappily.
"Holy shit!"
"The sea that a dog talks about has no martial ethics!" "Why is there so little beef in my bowl!" "Is it in this river?!"
Seeing the group of booing people, Zhang Hai blushed. Normally he would have retorted with a playful smile, but he happened to catch Xiao Zao.
"Stop talking! Are you the manager? I... feel sorry for him for working so hard for the alliance, and I'm worried that he won't have enough to eat, but you can't ask him to eat more?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
Good guy. Is this okay?
Seeing how complacent this wise man was, Chu Guang smiled and shook his head, took out fifteen silver coins and put them on the table, settling the bill first.
"Thank you for your kindness. There is no need to treat me to dinner. I prefer the transaction of handing over the money and delivering the goods... No need to look for it.
Considering the weight of this bowl of noodles, it’s enough for him to pay three times the price, right?
This kind of money is enough to buy two kilograms of beef. He doesn't want to owe these few silver coins as a favor. "Thank you!" Boss Zhang said with a sultry look on his face.
Boss Zhang accepted the silver coins with a heartbroken look on his face, but in his heart he thought that this transaction would be a huge loss.
If it could be exchanged for the manager's favorability, no matter how many silver coins you spent, it wouldn't be a loss. As a result, these two taels of beef were only exchanged for three bowls of noodles, which was like a loss to my grandma's house!
arrive
If you make less money, it means you are losing money!
Chu Guang added some chili pepper and vinegar to the noodle soup, and while eating slowly, Chu Guang leisurely looked at the cute little newbies walking back and forth on the street, and couldn't help but miss the past.
Two years ago, this used to be the most prosperous street in the Alliance, separated from Resurrection Square by a crooked cement wall.
Now two years have passed, although this street has developed somewhat, it still cannot keep up with the long-term farm with vast land and sparsely populated areas.
With the establishment of Shuguang City, both Outpost and Changjiu Farm were merged into the new settlement as reserved place names, and the economic status of Outpost North Street was gradually replaced by Shuguang City North Street, where NPCs accounted for the majority.
Some sentimental old players will still keep the stalls here and the houses next to Linghu Lake, but most people have moved their shops to the more prosperous Shuguang City center.
However, Chu Guang still has a soft spot for this place.
Most of his favorite hometown dishes can be found here, and the chattering little cute people in front of Resurrection Square will never make him feel bored.
For him and most of the players of "Wasteland OL", this place can be called
Where dreams begin.
Chu Guang suddenly had an idea: when he retires, he might as well set up a stall here.
For example, bake a cake or something.
However, this idea only appeared for two seconds, and Chu Guang was amused by his own thoughts.
Wait until he relieves himself of all responsibilities·
That will probably be a long, long time later.
After eating to about half full, Chu Guang went to buy six steamed buns, brought them to Nicole, and fed them to her as a snack.
The older girl, like Xiao Yu, has a special liking for human food, especially junk food that is heavy in salt, oil and polysaccharides.
I still remember the last time I gave it Coke to drink, it was so excited that it stomped on the spot and almost tore down the shed where it slept.
After riding Nico for a walk around the lake, Chu Guang tied her back to the shed and then walked towards the shelter.
When he took the elevator downstairs, he happened to see a guard holding a plastic basket filled with letters, and he couldn't help but asked curiously.
"What's this?"
The guard immediately stood up straight and replied.
"This is a letter sent to you by the residents of Dawn City, sir." Chu Guang suddenly became interested when he heard this and said on a whim. "My letter? Show it to me."
He seemed to have heard Xiao Qi mention that since the Alliance Building was built, he had been receiving letters from all over the Alliance, and most of them were addressed to him.
Due to the huge number, the staff of the Union Building did not know what to do with them, so they handed them over to the Guards Regiment.
Lu Bei, who was following Chu Guang, hesitated slightly, took a step forward and spoke up.
"Sir, please allow me to check it for you first to make sure there is nothing dangerous inside."
Although these letters have been X-ray scanned and ultraviolet sterilized, they can only be ensured by opening them.
Chu Guang laughed and joked.
"Are you worried that there is a blade stuck in it and you might hurt me?"
Lu Bei said softly.
"That's not true, but it's better to be careful." Seeing his still uneasy expression, Chu Guang said.
"Well, you come and read it for me, and I will also test you to see how well you are doing in your cultural studies."
When he heard that the manager was going to take a test on himself, the young man immediately became energetic, put his right fist on his left chest and said energetically.
"yes!"
Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction and took Lu Bei, who had taken the basket of letters, to the B4 floor. After gesturing for him to sit down, he handed him a pen and paper.
"Just in time, you also wrote the reply for me by the way. I wanted you to write it." Lu Bei nodded excitedly, then took out a letter from the plastic basket, opened it, cleared his throat and read aloud.
Dear Mr. Administrator, I am a mason. In this "Dear Official"
Main job search
I salute you on a day worth celebrating and share my joy with you! My wife and I have our first child in a month and we have already bought all the clothes for him until he is five years old, baby clothes
The cradle and toys... Now we are counting the days every day, waiting for that little cutie to come to us. Once again, I would like to express my highest respect to you, thank you for allowing us to have a sheltered house and
A job that buys so many things."
Lu Bei read it with great emotion, and his admiration was beyond words. I am afraid that no one who wrote this letter was as emotional as him.
Looking at this hard-working young man, Chu Guang couldn't help but smile. After he finished reading, he cleared his throat and spoke slowly.
"You're welcome...I will do my best to let every hard-working person in the league get the decent job and life he deserves, so that every child in the league can grow up in the sun. Of course, this
We need to work together.”
While Chu Guang was reading, Lu Bei was writing furiously. After a while, he finished the letter, copied the address and put it aside.
Then he picked up the second letter,
He took a deep breath and said, "...Like the sun at noon, your grace and majesty make thousands of swords
Dispelled the cold night and restored this land to its glory! Please forgive my exaggeration, but this is by no means flattery. Maybe Dr. Edmund is just a trivial criminal in your opinion, but I will never forget it.
What happened that day at the Golden Dunes Cinema. My children and I were imprisoned in an iron cage. No one cared about our life or death. Only you and the soldiers under your command did. I am willing to offer you my eternal loyalty!"
Where is Golden Dunes Cinema?
Chu Guang thought about it for a while but still couldn't remember the name of this place, including the unfamiliar name mentioned in the letter.
However, it is not difficult to tell from the content of the letter that the person writing the letter should be a survivor who was rescued by his little player from the predators. Although this may be just an ordinary daily task for the player.
, but for a certain survivor, it may mean that the fate of his life is changed.
Chu Guang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
He decided to ask Xiaoqi to update this letter to the forum later. I believe someone will claim this easter egg.
I discovered this easter egg by accident. The kind little player should be happy with the continuation of the story.
"Save this letter here for now. Then I will forward it to the person who really deserves my thanks, and that person will decide whether to write a reply."
"Okay, sir." Lu Bei nodded loyally, temporarily put down the pen in his hand, and continued to pick up the next letter.
The content of this letter is concise and clear.
Even the first sentence at the beginning clarifies all the content of the entire letter.
"Go north, sir! As long as you give the order, all of us are willing to sacrifice our hearts for you! The merchants from Bugra are the most unruly villains. They are using tricks to corrupt us. It is time to punish those insidious and cunning little ones.
People!」
While reading the letter, Lu Bei used an impassioned voice and secretly glanced at Chu Guang, who was sitting opposite.
Obviously, this young man thinks so too
Chu Guang thought for a while and said in a gentle tone.
"The greatest humiliation for clowns is not to push them into the brazier, but to let them see with their eyes that we are better off than them, more united, more confident, and more powerful than them... Then they will survive
Living in panic all day long with regrets about yesterday. I understand your concerns about the North, but they are not our main trouble, at least not now."
Although he felt a little regretful, the loyal young man believed that the respected manager must have a foresight that he did not possess, so he did not feel anything wrong.
After writing the reply, he quickly picked up another letter, opened it, and put the reply and
But as soon as I saw the initial title and Juanxiu's handwriting, I felt vaguely that something was wrong.
"Dear Mr. Manager, I have admired you for a long time. I heard that you don't have a child of your own, which makes me feel uneasy for a long time..."
Halfway through reading, Lu Bei suddenly stopped talking in embarrassment and hesitated for a long time, unable to pronounce a single word.
No need to guess what was written in the letter, and most likely it was a different trick to urge him to start a family. Chu Guang couldn't help but smile and shook his head. These guys.
If you have nothing to do all day long and have some free time, you might as well raise two more pigs.
"Just read it, I don't care."
"But... well, if you insist," Lu Bei buried his head in embarrassment and read out, "if possible, I would like to give you one child, as many as you want.
This is the wish of a girl from Dawn City. My address is
Chu Guang, who was drinking tea to moisten his throat, almost spat out a sip of tea and coughed, interrupting Lu Bei mid-sentence.
"Okay, okay, that's enough." Lu Bei closed the letter honestly and whispered.
He asked for instructions, "Sir... then, do you want this letter to be returned?"
After glancing at the time on the VM hastily, Chu Guang hurriedly interrupted his stupid words.
"We can't reply to everyone's opinions. By the way, we need an administrator's office to uniformly handle letters from alliance citizens, and select some meaningful questions to answer publicly in newspapers and radio."
"Also, each department also needs to set up a dedicated office to handle letters from citizens and hold a press conference to explain the public's confusion when necessary. Don't stuff all the letters here... I have to find them.
Let’s talk about this, today’s break is over, let’s stop here.”
I almost forgot about it.
When the printing factory fire case first came out, Chu Guang was thinking about finding a more official public channel to speak out. He could not always rely on newspaper reporters.
Reporters came to interview.
The Representative Council is currently improving relevant legislation. The alliance authorities must also cooperate in doing something.
Lu Bei looked blankly at the manager who had said a lot of words and got up to go out. Lu Bei, holding the envelope in his hand, did not come back to his senses for a long time.
So what should I do with this letter...?
Yin Fang, who was standing next to the coffee machine, witnessed the whole scene and joked with a smile.
"No offense, this guy is surprisingly shy sometimes.
Although only sometimes...
At the junction of the Borneo Sea and the southern sea, a cargo ship with a tall chimney is slowly passing through a wide strait.
There are dense forests on both sides and rugged rocks on the shore. From the dilapidated concrete port, it can be seen that there was once a prosperous port and city here, but now only the chirping of insects and the occasional cry of apes are left.
Standing on the deck, the woman wrapped in a cloak had uneasiness written all over her face.
Her name is Misa. She is only in her early twenties and has brown hair. Before the disaster, she was a teacher at Golden Gallen Port. Although she was born in the port city, she has never been to a place so far away.
"This is" "Baiyue Province."
A pleasant voice came from behind.
Misa turned around and saw a pair of smart cat ears gently swaying in the sea breeze, and that lively and cute face smiling at her.
Some mercenaries and sailors on the ship called her the messenger of the Silver Moon Goddess.
Misa couldn't help but feel a little cautious, but still couldn't help but curiously asked in a low voice: "Where is that place?"
Walking to the side of the ship, Zhimao squinted his eyes and looked at the tropical strait. He tucked the hair that fell on his face behind his ears and said in a eloquent tone.
「
·····Its northeast is Haiya Province, its east is the southern sea area, and its northwest is adjacent to Luoxia
Province, across the Zhuobar Mountains is Oasis No. 4 and Silver Moon Bay. Its shape on the map is like two teeth put together one above the other, with a strait sandwiched between them."
It was once a tourist resort of the People's Federation, and was also home to some economically prosperous tourist cities.
It's just that in the fifty years after the three-year war, the traces of human life have gradually disappeared with the passage of time.
Feeling a little lost in thought, Misa continued to ask curiously, "Will we dock here?"
Sesame paste replied with some trouble.
"Well, it's not necessary. We went up there to take a look, but we found no survivors there, only dangerous mutant creatures and deadly poisonous insects."
Maybe the planner hadn't finished this part of the map. They took a small boat and walked along the shore. When they found that there was no suitable port to dock, they left without exploring in depth. I heard that Camelback Kingdom was
There was a plan to incorporate this part of the area into the territory, and we also tried to build it on the shore.
They established a colony, but were eventually defeated by alien species, poisonous insects, strange infectious diseases, and huge financial pressure, and had to abandon the settlement there.
Listening to the angel lady talking about this land, while Misa's thirst for knowledge was satisfied, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart.
Just now she was still thinking about putting Bo Luo
People from the Yue tribe in the province have come here to build new homes, but now it seems that things are not as simple as they thought.
"You know so much." After hearing the story about this land, Misa let out a heartfelt sigh.
Seeing the envy and admiration in those eyes, Sesame paste scratched the back of his head sheepishly and said with a shy smile.
"After all, we travel a lot."
Perhaps because she is also a teacher in reality, she quite likes this NPC girl.
Although he didn't mean to show off when he said this, Misa became even more envious after hearing it.
travel··
That was something she never dared to think about.
Only those who have a family are considered traveling when they travel far away, while homeless people like her can only be considered wandering even if they go to places they have never been before.
"Then where should we disembark?" Sesame Paste said softly.
"There is an artificial island in the southern sea. There are many survivors who have been helped by the residents of the shelter. We plan to go there to try our luck first and at least purchase some supplies. If they are unwilling to take you in, we will continue to take you to the mainland.
The province of Yunjian to the east.
Misa looked at her gratefully, her eyes filled with mist.
"I... really don't know how to thank you." Sesame paste said with an embarrassed smile.
"You're welcome, we don't have a specific place to go anyway.
square.
Just as the two were chatting, the alarm bell suddenly sounded on the ship.
Sesame Paste, who was chatting with Misa, was slightly startled, and immediately took her back to the cabin, and told her not to come up.
After doing all this, she picked up her equipment, went to the deck to gather with the others, and found the tail with one foot on the side of the ship.
"what happened?"
With a serious look on his face, Tai squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the distant sea line.
"It's a pirate." Sesame paste was stunned for a moment.
Rourou, who was standing aside, made a helpless expression and couldn't help but complain.
"How can there be so many pirates?"
While the group was talking, two flagged speedboats turned out from behind the rocks and approached their cargo ship.
Compared with Rourouha, they are as compact as toys in the bathtub, but when it comes to technology, they are obviously better powered by electricity.
Sisi, who was standing in the bridge, narrowed his eyes slightly.
She noticed that there was no black iron wood hanging on the two speedboats to repel sea beasts. She thought that some other thing or technology should be used.
One of the speedboats drove forward, and a man who looked like a soldier stood on the bow and shouted to the people on the deck of the freighter.
"This is the territorial waters of the Federation! Who are you?" Federation?
Rourou and Sesame Paste looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion. When did a federation appear here?
have no idea····
When they came here last year, there seemed to be only a few island settlements here.
Could it be that the map power has been refreshed? One person and one bear looked confused.
However, Tails, who was standing on the side of the ship, was not confused at all. Instead, as if the radio waves were hitting him, he shouted loudly towards the man. "Oh! Friends of the Federation! This is the White Bear Knights!"
The man standing on the speedboat was obviously stunned for a moment, and blurted out subconsciously.
"what is that?"
Sisi, who came to the deck at some point, stretched out his hand to pick up the tail that was about to shout, cleared his throat and shouted.
"They are traders from Silvermoon Bay. We plan to cross the strait to the port in the eastern part of Middle-earth. Please allow us to dock here to replenish fresh water and supplies."
The man glanced at her suspiciously, but did not find any flaws in her words, so he continued.
"...Yes, yes, yes, but I have to make it clear first
Chu, we only accept dinars and Cr here, but we don’t want those coins with animals painted on them.
The coins with camels painted on them should refer to those coins from Luoxia Province.
Because of their gold content, size, and overall national strength, those coins are usually only circulated locally, and not many people will recognize them outside Silver Moon Bay.
Sisi nodded in understanding. "No problem."
"Follow us, be careful of rocks and mines." The man left these words, turned back to the cabin, and steered the speedboat around in the sea.
Rourou glanced at Sisi in confusion and asked in a low voice in Mandarin, "Why don't we just tell them the truth?"
"Tell them there are nearly a thousand refugees on the boat? I'm not sure they will push us back." Looking at the direction in which the two speedboats were leaving, Sis narrowed his eyes slightly.
Something is wrong here.
She always felt that this trip to Vault 70 would not be as peaceful as she imagined...
Rourou scratched the back of his head.
Tai Tai, who was standing aside, said to her seriously.
"This world is very dangerous, Rourou. If they find out that we are pirates wanted by the Xilan Empire, they might exchange us for the 3.6 billion beli bounty!"
"The currency unit must be wrong, and our bounty is not that high!" Rourou complained in a dumbfounded voice, but he also understood Sisi's intention.
After all, this is not a settlement they are familiar with. It is better to be careful...
