Chapter 675 Positive influence, money comes first!
After sending everyone away, Sumo sat down and thought about the details of the next mission, and basically sorted out the major things he needed to do now.
First, of course, we must first figure out the route map to Tianyuan Territory and the appropriate way to travel.
According to the previous reminders, the distance between Cili Town and Tianyuan Territory is over 3,000 kilometers.
If we use manpower to travel, it will take half a month at least. It is not impossible that it will take a month if there is a slight accident.
Time is running out.
Thinking of the train he saw in the sky before, Sumo decided to hang his hope on this thing for the time being.
At that time, we will first see if we can take this train. If not, we will try to find a way to get a vehicle that can travel long distances to reduce the time spent on the middle journey.
The second is to get as much start-up capital as possible.
If you only use the minimum worker position of 800 points to enter the territory, with the current savings of 500 points, it can basically be said to be easy.
But when thinking about the various restrictions on worker status and the heavy assembly line tasks, Sumo decided to earn as many points as possible.
When the time comes, make your move based on your biggest assets, and try to raise the initial platform as much as possible, so that it will be much easier to climb up later.
Third, find out what the disaster will be in half a year.
This is a necessary condition for completing the mission, and it is also the only way to get out of the ruins. If you want to survive with the territory, you must understand it.
But for now, this priority has been put on hold by Sumo for the time being, and it won't be too late to wait until he gets to the Tianyuan territory.
"Huang Xiaojuan is going to sell off her property and raise as much funds as possible."
"I'm going to explore the way to travel and get the general information about this wasteland."
"Olio will help me find the location of Shayikang's residence."
"Three lines are running in parallel. There are still four days left for me to show my strength. That's enough!"
He got up from the bed and took a few glances at this strange but familiar house. He took a long breath, opened the door and walked downstairs.
There is no highly integrated factory and convenient logistics infrastructure to rely on.
This small western-style building looks a bit luxurious from the outside, but once inside, it feels empty and a bit scary.
In the entire hall, there were basically only some tables and chairs made of wood. There was not a single other thing like sofas, carpets, or electrical appliances.
"Woof!"
Through the open door, Oreo, who had transformed into a khaki pastoral dog, walked in with a humane smirk on his face.
Before arriving, she was still full of resistance to this new identity.
But after the real integration, she seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and she suddenly became inexplicably excited.
After looking at each other, Sumo raised his eyebrows and noticed that Oreo even began to avoid his eyes intentionally or unintentionally, with a smile on his lips.
"Sha Yikang, who went out just now, is the man walking at the front. Do you remember him?"
Oreo nodded.
"Okay, after it gets a little darker, you can help me find this person and see where he lives. It's best to follow him and see if he has any other secret hideouts."
"Woof!"
After arranging what Oreo had to do, he took a look at the dusk sky, picked up the hat in the hall, put it on his head, and walked out of the back door of the courtyard sideways.
Like ordinary towns on earth in the civilized era, the roads here are basically cement-hardened, and there are simple drainage facilities in the potholes next to them.
Not afraid of others discovering his abnormality, Sumo walked along, looking around, aimlessly like a streetwalker.
"It seems that people in this new continent have reached a subtle rule. No matter it is a big place or a small place, identity is very important."
"Is it possible that there are other hidden secrets here?"
The bustling area of Prickly Pear Town is not that big. It only took Somo more than an hour to walk around the main streets.
But the strange thing is that he didn't see any recruitment notices in the shops open along the road, nor did he see any news about jobs.
Judging from the sales positions on the game panel, even street vendors have to purchase an identity before they can start their business.
It took about three hours, from south to north, and from east to west.
Sumo visited the entire Prickly Pear Town, basically memorizing the general terrain distribution in his mind, and also got some much-needed news.
Ordinary people can indeed ride on the trains we saw when we arrived at some cost and rush to other territories.
The most important reason why it can be maintained for a long time is that this railway was not built by human beings alone.
Rather, it was a product led by the dwarves of all nations, who reached a certain agreement with humans and built it together.
Among them, not only humans can take this train to other places, or transport materials to other territories for sale.
Foreigners living on Xinda Road can also pay a certain amount of resources as a ticket, and they also have this right.
In this win-win situation, it took more than two years to build the railway. Even if it was occasionally damaged by natural disasters, it could be quickly repaired by humans and aliens working together.
"To go to Tianyuan Territory, one only needs to pay 80 points, which is not expensive."
Walking out of the room where tickets were sold, Somo looked thoughtful and began to understand why the entire wasteland began to vigorously promote the transaction point.
Let’s not mention its shortcomings.
With the endorsement of the game, everything in the entire wasteland can be clearly priced using trading points to achieve market price control in a macro sense.
This helps the markets in small places to integrate with those in large places, without creating a generational gap in development.
If we look at the long term, after people in big places earn enough trading points and spend money in small places, their lives will naturally be much more prosperous than before.
People in small places can also work hard to earn enough trading points to buy themselves a better platform and earn more money to improve their lives.
Such a virtuous cycle can stimulate everyone in the wasteland to never slack off and always run on the road of making money.
In this way, human infrastructure can be recreated in the wasteland to a great extent, and it can also ensure that every disaster can have enough resources to deal with it directly.
As for the foreign races, they are not opposed to trading points. After all, this thing can be exchanged for what they need, so it is not a slight loss.
“Trading point where you can buy everything”
"Job, status, wealth, medical care, residence, spouse, and even all things that cannot be clearly marked on earth have corresponding prices here."
"As long as I have enough survival points in my hand, even if it's the Tianyuan Territory I founded, I can spend money to directly knock out a mayor!"
After understanding the essential core of this set of cycles, Soma gradually began to be less resistant to this set of rules than he was at first.
Any development rules emerge as the times require.
Forcibly applying the rules of other places to this land may not necessarily achieve good results.
In the same way, taking the rules of the wasteland world eight years from now into the real wasteland world may not necessarily lead to the current situation.
"In short, for hard-working people, this is a paradise. As long as you work hard, you can continuously improve your status."
"But for lazy people, it's hell. It won't take long for them to be automatically swept out of the wasteland and become garbage."
Looking at the ordinary civilians who were still busy in the fields outside Prickly Pear Town, Somo nodded secretly and started to return the same way.
On the way, he came across a noodle shop with a fragrant aroma. He walked in with interest and ate two large bowls.
It's very filling and the portion is extremely satisfying.
The taste isn't bad either. It's paired with a strange seasoning plant, and there's a fragrant, drool-worthy peppery flavor floating in the noodle soup.
Moreover, these two bowls of noodles only cost ten resource points that were only circulated in Qingguo territory.
Judging from Su Youzong's fixed income of two hundred points a month, even if he works honestly, he can still have enough food and clothing in this prickly pear town.
After finishing his meal, Somo simply packed up two more bowls and began to wander towards the small western-style building.
"Hey, Brother Zong, you're back!"
Pushing open the door of the foreign-style building, Huang Xiaojuan, who was talking to a businessman inside, turned her head and showed a sweet smile.
Especially after seeing the noodles in Sumo's hands, the dimples on her cheeks gave off a beautiful blush, which made people's hearts flutter.
"Oh, it's Minister Su who's back."
"In this way, I won't bargain with you on the price. I'll take the car with twenty trading points!"
Pointing at the convenient three-wheel in the garage, the second-hand dealer in charge of the purchase looked cheerful.
Although Su Youzong is the famous Zhou Papi in Cili Town, several layers of oil and water will be peeled off anything that passes through his hands.
But it is undeniable that the quality of this convenient three-wheeler is much better than others.
Including the engine inside, it has not been used repeatedly, and the entire vehicle is in good enough condition to be recharged as new.
"Okay! Enjoy!"
When Huang Xiaojuan heard that the price was two points higher than her psychological expectations, the smile on her face remained unchanged, and she called out the game panel to signal the transaction.
Three or four seconds passed, and as the money arrived, the second-hand merchant jumped on his tricycle and quickly pedaled away, once again verifying the important role of the trading point in the wasteland.
"Brother Zong, we have also found a buyer for our house, but he said it will take two days to raise the transaction point, so we can only wait."
After closing the courtyard door and returning to the hall, Huang Xiaojuan, like an excited little butterfly, began to talk about the process of bargaining with others.
With a smile, Sumo listened while untying the convenience bag in his hand, pouring the noodles into a bowl and placing them on the dining table.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaojuan"
At first, when he sent Huang Xiaojuan out to sell these things, Sumo was quite worried.
But the current facts prove that the experience of a survivor who has been in the wasteland for eight years, even if it is just a girl in her twenties, is inferior to that of an old man in the early days of the wasteland.
Whether it is from the aspect of survival experience or from the way of dealing with people.
Huang Xiaojuan is terribly mature, and does not look like she has the wealth and experience she should have at her age.
"Brother Zong, this is not hard work. Compared with those who are still farming fields outside, we can know the news in advance. We don't know how happy we are."
"If aliens really occupied this place, the prices of goods and housing prices here would probably drop more than ten times."
While slurping noodles, Huang Xiaojuan shook her head and spoke vaguely.
If the alien race really wants to occupy the Qingguo territory, although ordinary civilians who farm the land do not need to worry about their lives, they will not want the crops that will mature in the future.
Under the enslavement of foreigners, except for their own share of the food they produce, they may have to hand over the rest.
Under such circumstances, wanting to live a better life can only become a luxury.
And this kind of day in the wasteland with no hope at all is the real hell for them.
"There is no way, we are an agricultural territory, and we don't have enough strength to resist if we want to"
Sumo tapped the table gently, his eyes wide.
After so many years of development, there are also other human territories next to Qingguo territory.
Three hundred kilometers along the west side, you can enter a territory called "Canegaja Castle".
Different from the Qingguo Territory, this territory can be said to be one where everyone is a soldier and specializes in foreign wars.
If the aliens really want to occupy this place, they will definitely not sit idly by and watch. It is estimated that a second war will break out between the two sides in a few days.
And this was also the reason why Sumo could walk away with peace of mind.
"Hey, why is Yuan Bao so close today? Does she also know that Brother Zong is sick?"
Halfway through the meal, I saw Oreo walking in from the door with a breath of heat, lying down next to Somo, and began to lick the bowl of noodles, eating with gusto.
Huang Xiaojuan couldn't help but look surprised.
"Haha, she is probably hungry too!"
After touching Oreo's head, Somo couldn't help but shake his body a few times and laughed happily.
Oreo's return means that her mission has been successfully completed.
Just wait until night to cook this Sha Yikang.
Not to mention too much, it shouldn't be a problem to get enough tickets for two people and one dog to go to Tianyuan Territory.
"By the way, Brother Zong, which territory should we go to next?"
"Should we go to the Kanegaja Castle next door? Although their civilian status is cheap, one person can buy it with only 20 trading points."
"But in the event of a large-scale war, even civilians will have to go to the battlefield temporarily. It is very dangerous!"
After finishing all the noodles, Huang Xiaojuan drank the soup and stared at Somo's face with curiosity.
In just one day, in her eyes, Su Youzong seemed to have changed.
First, all the previous habits suddenly disappeared, and then the way of speaking and behavior also changed drastically.
But the strange thing is that such a huge change did not make Huang Xiaojuan feel any discomfort or awkwardness.
Instead, there was a special sense of closeness, and a feeling that was too unfamiliar to be unfamiliar to her, quietly rising from the bottom of her heart.
For a moment, she looked at the man in front of her with a faint smile and shook his head, her eyes widened:
"Don't you want to go? But in the surrounding area, apart from Kanegajia Castle, there are only two large territories left, Shenglong Banner and Changing City."
"Civilian status in Sheng Long Banner is so expensive. Even if we go in and work as ordinary workers, each of us will have to earn 80 trading points."
"Although Changing City is cheaper, they require everyone to have a place to live for thirty days after entering, otherwise they will be kicked out. These two things added together are almost the same as the Dragon Flag."
Convenient three-wheelers were sold for 20 points, and small western-style houses were sold in packages for 45 points.
Knowing that since Su Mo was willing to tell her these things, he would never leave her and Yuan Bao behind, so Huang Xiaojuan always calculated the money according to the two people's share.
80*2. If you go to Sheng Long Banner and Changing City, there is still a gap of 95 points, which is a huge sum of money!
"Huh? Aren't these two going too?"
"That's right. These two prices are too high. It's okay if we go further to a small territory!"
"Let me think about it"
Seeing that Su Mo still shook his head tenderly, Huang Xiaojuan simply opened the game panel and began to search for the identity of nearby territories.
According to the maximum limit that the two of them could bear, she was extremely smart and selected many territories that could be entered with only 10 points.
At the same time, her words were invisibly comforting Sumo, trying to minimize the psychological gap caused by the decline in the quality of life in the two places.
This kind of kindness is enough to make people feel distressed.
"Ah, Brother Zong, aren't we going to do all of this?"
Seeing Su Mo shaking his head immediately after she said something, Huang Xiaojuan looked bitter and turned off the game panel.
Just now, she had quoted the price of various territories covering a thousand kilometers in radius, but Sumo was not satisfied with any of them.
Is it possible that the two of them have to hang out in the wasteland as refugees first, and then come back when the Qingguo territory is stable?
But this way, the risk is too high
"Xiaojuan, don't think too much, you just need to do as I say, and then Brother Zong will naturally bring you to live in a stable territory."
"Don't worry about this!"
A stable life and a comfortable environment will always soothe the restless anxiety in your heart.
Maybe Somo himself didn't realize that since he came to this world, most of his previous anxieties have disappeared.
Instead, he was as calm as when he first came to the wasteland with the help of the system.
"Brother Zong, my dear brother Zong, just tell me, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight!"
After getting up, Huang Xiaojuan ran to Su Mo, picked up her arms and shook them constantly.
As if she didn't notice, she gently pulled Somo across in front of her.
hiss.
It was like being electrocuted. Before Sumo could taste the warmth and softness of his touch, he met Huang Xiaojuan's eyes like autumn water.
He was immediately defeated.
"Okay, what we want to go to is"
After pinching Huang Xiaojuan's slightly rough palm, Somo opened his mouth slightly and spit out four words.
As for the latter, his face, which was still extremely shy, froze almost instantly, and suddenly became 120% incredulous.
