This Game is Too Real Chapter 357

   Chapter 357 You produce technology, we produce talent, this is of course a win-win situation

17:00.

  Fang Chang lay flat on the bed, put on his helmet and returned to the game, and when he opened his eyes again, what caught his eye was the cement gray ceiling.

   Underneath is a dilapidated single bed.

   He moved the back of his heavy head, and a faint scent entered his nose from the squeezed pillow. The only fly in the ointment is that there is a smell of motor oil mixed with it.

   He turned his face sideways and saw the girl sitting beside the bed.

   Holding a screwdriver in her hand, she was fiddling with the parts of her left arm, not knowing whether she was changing the battery or the oil.

  This game is always unexpectedly real in strange places.

   "Are you awake?" Dolly glanced at him, noticing the movement on the bed.

   At this moment, she was wearing a sleeveless T-shirt that had been washed white. Through the morning light outside the window, she could vaguely see a touch of whiteness, making Fang Chang a little unsure where to place his gaze.

"Um."

   Seeing the man's embarrassment, Dolly smiled slyly and said with a teasing sentence.

   "You sleep so deeply that you can't wake up no matter how much you shout."

   Fang Chang touched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment.

   "Actually, I don't usually drink like this. Let's drink it again next time."

  Dolly smiled.

   "It's okay, I don't laugh at you."

  Square length: "..."

  MD!

   This broken game is just so annoying.

   If you drink too much, you will be disconnected frequently, and it will crash when you stop, and you will not even come back.

   He couldn't remember what happened last night. He only remembered what he saw in the dark and blinded fire, and what he didn't see.

   Later, he couldn't get on, so he went to the balcony to smoke, and by the way, he went to the line with the group friends.

   However, I was unconscious all night yesterday...

   Fang Chang's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously reached out and touched his waistband.

   It's not that he is worried about what the girl has done to him. Is he the kind of person who is afraid of losing out?

   Mainly because I'm afraid of losing a waist...

   Looking at Fang Chang who was turning over at his waist, Dolly continued with a joke.

   "Don't worry, I didn't touch your stuff."

   Of course Fang Chang wouldn't say what he was looking for just now, he coughed dryly and changed the subject.

   "Where is this?"

"my home."

  Although it was expected, Fang Chang's eyes were still filled with surprise.

   Misunderstood the meaning in his eyes, Dolly said indifferently.

   "Is it very broken?"

   Fang Chang glanced around and saw that there was a lot of stuff stuffed into the one-bedroom, which was less than 15 square meters.

   There are not many beautiful clothes in sight. There are mechanical parts next to the bottles and jars in the corner, as well as tools for polishing the parts.

   "Find another bathroom? I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to go out." Dolly said, looking around at him.

   Fang Chang shook his head.

   "No... In fact, by the standards of the wasteland, the environment here is not bad."

The space inside the    giant wall is limited, and it is definitely not comparable to the northern suburbs, which are vast and sparsely populated.

   Dolly's mouth curled into a smug smile.

   "Indeed, it can keep out the wind and rain, you don't have to crowd with others, and you only need to pay 52 chips in rent a month. I like it here. When I have time, I plan to raise a pot of succulent and put it by the window."

   After listening to her chattering, Fang Chang felt that his hearing was not enough, but he still made a guess based on the experience of communicating with international friends.

"Succulents?"

   "Well, a plant with thick leaves, I heard that it can absorb radiation." Dolly said with a face of certainty, as if she really believed this statement.

   Absorption of radiation such a thing...

   The square and long expression is a little subtle.

   It's not that he wants to raise the bar, it's that he is really suspicious. If this plant really has this ability, he can plant two pots directly next to the reactor.

   But then again, in "Wasteland OL", he doesn't seem to think much about radiation. According to the settings of the official website, although radiation residue is a problem, it is not the main problem here.

   In contrast, slime molds, marauders, mutants... there are so many things that are more deadly than radiation.

   Just when Fang Chang was thinking about it, the girl was looking at him curiously.

   "Don't you believe it?"

   Fang Chang shook his head slightly.

   "No... In fact, we also have such a statement there."

   "Oh, it looks like you don't believe it." Dolly sighed, then looked away, and continued to fiddle with the robotic arm that was about to be installed.

   Looking at the profile under the short green hair, Fang Chang suddenly felt a little compassion.

   He didn't even know where this emotion came from.

  Although he also enjoys the game, as a professional player, he has always only regarded NPCs as a piece of data, and seldom devotes himself to any character.

   This is probably the biggest difference between him and Lao Bai and Edge.

   The Adam's apple moved, Fang Chang spoke in a strange manner.

   "...Have you considered living in a different environment?"

   "Change the environment? Isn't it the same." Losing the screwdriver in her hand, she said casually, the contours and voice of the side face were full of maturity that did not match her age.

   Fang didn't know how to answer for a long time.

   "Don't you have dreams? Like...what do you want to do?"

   "What do you want to do?" Dolly thought for a moment, then said, "Does it count to open a bar?"

   "...I thought you would say you want to open a coffee shop or a flower shop."

   "Coffee shop? Flower shop? Is there such a shop in Boulder City?" Dolly asked in confusion.

"No, it's just in my hometown, I always hear drunk girls say this... Can you accompany me to find the doctor who sells bionic prosthetics?" Fang Chang sighed, reached out and touched his pocket, Find a chip.

   However, just after the words came out, he realized that the last chip in his pocket was white, with a big "1" written on the face value, and the expression on his face could not help but become embarrassed.

   Seeing the sharp contrast between the front and back of his expression, Dolly couldn't help but let out a snort.

   reached out to take the chip, and with a flick of her thumb, she threw it into the tin box on the table.

   "No problem, I have nothing to do for a while anyway."

   "Because you were such a gentleman last night, I'll go shopping with you for a while."

   Dawn City.

   Vault 404, the cramped single room sounded a piercing air leak, followed by a loud scream.

   "Mom, I can be considered alive."

   Ye Shi sat up from the training cabin, picked up the blue jacket hanging on the cabin head and put it on, first went to the public bathroom to take a shower, and then went to the square on the B2 floor.

  Because it was the peak online season, when he got here, there were a lot of people in the square.

  Including his acquaintances, Gu Feng, Quit Smoking and Mosquito also happened to be here.

   went up and said hello to everyone, Ye Shi couldn't help asking curiously when he saw the furtive look of the mosquito.

   "What are you doing?"

   "Go away, go away, don't delay my business."

   Ye Shi had not had time to roll his eyes, quitting smoking had already complained before him.

   "Fuck, what can you do?"

   "...He is probably squatting on that NPC named Pai, I heard him mention it before." Gu Feng looked at Mosquito blankly, his eyes a little weird.

  Although occasionally some players are locked in a black room for illegal operations, but he seems to be the only one with the same reason?

   At least he is the only one in the friend list.

   Seeing that Mosquito was dead again, the surrounding players also jumped into the topic.

   "...I remembered it! It seems to be the same last time. I heard the tail say that this guy was caught."

   "I heard that Zhao Ren was thrown on the body!"

   "And haven't touched it yet!"

   "What a shame!"

  Quitting looked at the mosquito with a look of surprise.

   "Damn it, brother, are you changing too?"

   Mosquito's face swelled to the color of pig liver and retorted.

   "Fuck off! I'm just... trying to figure out what and how that oil was made."

   Without professional analysis equipment, he could only roughly infer that the bottle of fuel contained some easily identifiable alkanes and alkenes, and the rest was at a loss.

   For the past few days, he has been looking for that NPC named Pai, but the little girl seemed to be frightened by him and never appeared again.

   Mosquito couldn't help feeling a little remorse.

   Maybe I should have restrained myself a little at that time.

  The topic on the square was like a gust of wind, and then changed to something else.

   Seeing that it was getting late, everyone discussed where to level up for a while.

   Ye Shi looked at Gu Feng.

   "Where are we going? Are we going to meet at Boulder City?"

   Gu Feng glanced at his right hand.

   "I'll put the arm on first."

  This weak power always made him feel that something was missing.

   At this moment, Ye Shi suddenly remembered a key thing.

   "Speaking of which...you have to unload an arm first to install that thing."

   Gu Feng nodded.

"Um."

   Isn't this a matter of course?

  Ye Ten glanced at his right hand with a strange expression.

   "Then what about the arm you took off...?"

   The wind froze for a moment.

   He hadn't considered this question.

   was silent for a while, and he said with a subtle expression.

   "...find a place to bury it."

  B4 floor browsing room.

   Chu Guang, sitting in front of the computer, leaned back on the sofa and stretched.

   "It's finally done."

  Xiao Qi, sitting on the desk, happily raised two thumbs the size of toothpicks, cheering.

   "The host is awesome!"

  Chu Guang gave it a tired look.

   "Thanks for the compliment, if only you could help me more."

  Although this little guy can help him accurately convey every order to the correct department, some creative work is still a shortcoming beyond its ability.

   Especially in the design of the rules.

  Chu Guang read in the history of the People's Federation that in the early days of the Prosperity Era, "AIism" once rose on this planet for a period of time.

  Its believers believe that the root cause of the problems of production relations and distribution systems is the ugliness in human nature.

  People's happiness is born from the suffering of others, and there is only one solution, that is to build a society governed by AI, and replace all management departments with AI.

However, the sport declined in the middle of the prosperous era. Historians have given many evaluations, several of which are objective views including "inadequate hardware and software conditions", "extreme prosperity of materials makes people more inclined to maintain the status quo", etc. Wait.

  Chu Guang has reservations about these views, but he can still draw a little lesson from historical experience.

   That is, never let tools replace thinking, and hands replace brains. Never expect to have a flawless solution to all future problems.

   Looking at the nearly 5mb text file on the computer screen, Chu Guang stretched a relaxed expression on his face.

  The newly established alliance management organization has a total of 12 departments, covering various fields from production to economy, to transportation and logistics, and residents' life.

   He also made detailed designs for the basic strategies and policy routes of each department.

   This is certainly not something he made up out of thin air, but it is not a complete copy of the experience of another world.

   For example, when the Ministry of Education was established, Chu Guang did not refer to players' brain holes on the forum, but to ask parents, teachers and students for their suggestions.

   For wastelanders with an average lifespan of only 35 years, many of them have already passed their statistical half of their lives by the time they are 17 years old.

   But for players who live in the era of peace, this age can only say that good days are still to come, and you have to wait patiently to unlock the anti-addiction system.

   At this time, if a one-size-fits-all approach is adopted, and the minimum working age and compulsory education hours are set according to the standards of the developed world, the education level of the alliance may be improved, but the poor families will be impoverished due to education.

  Chuguang adopted a compromise approach, increasing the minimum working age and compulsory education time year by year, and spending part of the money to subsidize students with excellent grades.

   is also called a scholarship.

   Whether you are an adult in an evening school or a student in a full-time school, as long as you have excellent grades, you can get a grant.

   Although this money is not enough for them to live a prosperous life, it is enough to subsidize their household.

  Education is only one aspect of many issues he considers, and this long-term investment will only pay off later.

   Chuguang devotes the most energy to all sectors, still the industrial sector directly related to production.

   At most, he can guide the route and basic framework of other departments, but when it comes to specific production issues, he even made a detailed plan for the production capacity of each stage after referring to the opinions of various industry experts.

  Although not all problems can be solved by developing productivity, at least 99% of the current problems can be solved.

   Thanks to the infrastructure plan of 200 million silver coins and the loan of 200 million chips, he can do a lot of things now.

   "...Speaking of which, I have to draw up a purchase list later."

  Chu Guang pinched his brows, thought for a moment, then looked at Xiao Qi who was sitting at the corner of the table, and ordered.

   "Speak to old Charlie for me and ask him to wait for me at the office of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry at two o'clock in the afternoon."

   "Okay, master," Xiao Qi said worriedly, seeing the tired expression on Chu Guang's face, "Although it may be a bit long-winded to say this, you should also pay attention to your body."

  Chu Guang smiled and rubbed Xiaoqi's head with his index finger, a reassuring smile appeared on his face.

   "I'll pay attention."

   At this time, a gust of wind blew from the door of the browsing room.

   Looking at Chu Guang who was playing with the dolls on the table, Pai raised the corners of his mouth proudly.

   "How is it? Is the gift I gave you okay?"

   "Thank you for the gift, it's very stress-free and adds a lot of fun to my boring daily work." Chu Guang joked, "What about the drone I gave you, do you still like it?"

   "It's amazing!" Pai nodded with satisfaction, showing off, "I modified it a little bit, and it flies faster now!"

  Chu Guang looked at her in surprise, not expecting this little girl to have this ability.

   But he was only surprised.

  Different from "Camp 404", which focuses on industry and military, "Camp 101", which is guided by Vault 101, probably puts all the "skill points" on education and archaeology.

   Especially this guy is not only talented, but also uses the black technology of the pre-war era.

   If stats and talents can be quantified, she might be in the same rank as Heya from Vault 401.

   "That..." Looking left and right, Pai suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and whispered, "Where is Xiaoyu... Have you talked to her?"

  Chu Guang nodded.

   "Well, I told her family that she herself is very willing to continue her studies in her studies. If you have no opinions, I hope to send a few more people to communicate with you."

  Xiaoyu is a very sensible child. Chu Guang remembered that when he told her about it, she just thought about it for a moment and then nodded obediently.

   He could feel that she was reluctant to let everyone in the shelter, but he could also see the deep desire in her heart to grow and become stronger.

   She hopes to help everyone more than just sitting at the counter and counting money.

There are more and more people in the new alliance, and the problem that banks need to consider is no longer just to calculate the accounts clearly, but also to think about how to use the invisible hand to make every silver coin play the role it should play. .

   This involves a lot of knowledge that she does not understand. Although she has also summarized a little experience in practice, she still needs to go through systematic study.

   includes some mathematical methods, as well as knowledge of sociology.

  If there is professional guidance, she can avoid some detours herself.

   As for Xiaoyu's family, although they were worried at first, after hearing that Chu Guang promised to keep her safe, both his parents and his brother were relieved.

   The wise and wise manager never breaks his promise.

   No one in the entire northern suburbs would doubt this matter, whether it was an NPC or a player.

   Hearing Chu Guang's words, Pai jumped up excitedly, patted his chest and said.

"Don't worry, I've already told my master about this, everyone is very happy, and told me to bring more souvenirs when I come back, hehe...especially chocolate and coffee! Oh yes, and that A bite of the meat bun with the soup flowing out! It's so delicious!"

  Chu Guang said with a smile.

   "It's easy to say, when you go back, I'll send you a truckload of souvenirs!"

  Chu Guang originally thought that Pai would happily agree.

   However, to his surprise, this little girl shook her head solemnly and refused the gift.

   "Although this proposal is very exciting, we can't take your benefits in vain."

   "My master said that the only way to get along with others is to show respect for each other, and we have to give you some help."

   Looking at the surprised Chu Guang, she continued speaking seriously.

   "But we have no money and no extra resources to share with you. It would be great if you could provide a plan."

   Hearing this, Chu Guang was instantly happy. Isn't that what he was waiting for?

  The new alliance is rich in products, and players' brains and ideas are endless. There is always one or two things that can appeal to these scholars, engineers, and archaeologists.

  It doesn't matter if you are not interested in black and white silk and artwork.

   Isn't there a lot of delicious food?

   In addition to the dazzling array of consumer products, there are also research samples for Camp 101 and the shelter behind them.

   Even if it is a powerful and outrageous monster like Death Claw, as long as the silver coins and contribution points are in place, his brave little players can get them for them!

  Chu Guang said with a hearty smile.

   "This is easy to handle! Although we do not implement a rationing system, we will pay those who work."

   "It's better than this, you send a few engineers to us to help us improve our production methods, and in exchange, we will give you silver coins!"

   "If you have something you like, you don't need to discuss it with me, just buy it from our store with silver coins!"

   Pai wrinkled her cute little Qiong's nose and fell into deep thought.

   "Well...that sounds really good. But...everyone has their own work to do, I'm afraid it will be difficult to free up manpower."

   "Especially since the looters are gone recently, we are planning to move the camp back to the surface, there are too many things to do."

  Everyone in the camp has their own responsible position, and the "score" that determines the standard of living is also determined according to the position.

   After listening to Pai's concerns, Chu Guang said patiently.

   "This problem is easy to solve. Our people can help you build camps, supply the materials you need for life, and even help you cook. This alone can save you a lot of manpower."

   "This way, you can focus more on the things you are good at and are interested in, and all you need to do is give us some of the time you save and help us live a better life."

   "You can interpret this as a kind of... complementary strengths. Tell your master what I said, and he will surely understand what I am trying to convey."

   Camp 101 also tried to recruit some local survivors before, but the scale of cooperation was limited, and it just stayed in the scene of chores.

  Chu Guang believes that after a comprehensive understanding of the new alliance, the residents of Camp 101 will definitely feel the charm of their proposal.

   Pai rubbed his chin, looked like he was thinking, and nodded with a vague understanding.

   She seldom cares about these things, the things that Chu Guang said are beyond her area of ​​expertise.

   But it is not difficult for her to write down a sentence completely.

   "I'll pass on your proposal to the guys in the camp... oh, yes."

   Suddenly remembered something, Pai took out a stack of paper full of dense symbols from his pocket and handed it to Chu Guang.

  Chu Guang took it with a bewildered face, and turned it over in his hand. Although he recognized every word, he did not understand it at all.

"……This is?"

   Pai looked to the side subtly, and said a little embarrassedly.

   "It's the ratio of the components of the fuel and the synthesis route. Although it's not particularly powerful... But it took me a while to figure it out."

   Having said this, her nose snorted softly.

   "Isn't there a rude guy who underestimated me before, now that guy should realize how shallow his knowledge is."

   In the end, it is the age of love to be brave and expressive. She was looked down upon by others. Of course, she couldn't help but want to prove herself.

  Although the chemical power engine is already an antique, but with her understanding of machinery and aerospace, it is not difficult to get a high-efficiency fuel.

  Chu Guang looked at the information in his hand in surprise, but he didn't expect this unexpected gain.

   What made him even more unexpected was that this little girl actually gave such a precious thing directly to herself without reservation.

   "I...will turn it over to him."

   It shouldn't be difficult to ask Xiaoqi to help translate it, and Yin Fang can also help with difficult proper nouns.

   Pai nodded in satisfaction.

   But soon, she remembered that the rude guy couldn't be cheap, so she added another sentence later.

   "By the way, don't let him get it too easy, just show him a page every once in a while."

   Speaking of which, Pai plausibly said.

   "My master said, you can't just copy the answer, you have to think about how the answer came from!"

   Good guy.

   This is too torturous.

  Chu Guang nodded, dumbfounded, and put the information in front of Xiao Qi.

   "Okay... I promise not to let him get it easily."

   got this promise, Pai finally left satisfied.

   Watching the excited back disappear at the entrance of the browsing room, Chu Guang couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

   Compared to dealing with the relationship with Boulder City.

   Sure enough, getting along with these lovely people made him feel more relaxed and happy.

   However, as a manager, he cannot decide who to cut off and who to establish diplomatic relations with based on his personal preferences. In many cases, he needs to make judgments based on the interests of the collective.

   He suddenly missed the "crew" on the Trailblazer.

   It's been half a year, and I don't know if they have fulfilled their ideals.

   Noticing the expression on Chu Guang's face, Xiao Qi, who was sitting in front of the document, asked curiously.

   "Master, what are you thinking?"

   looked away from the door, Chu Guang said casually.

   "I'm thinking, maybe there's a real utopia there."

   It's just that it's too small.

   was even smaller than the shelter behind them, only big enough to accommodate two or three hundred people.

  Compared to the entire wasteland, that ray of light is not even a flame...

   (Thanks to the leader of "Big Brother Dafu" for the reward!!!)
