Official forum.
Crow Crow, who had just gone offline, rushed in immediately.
"Big news!!! That piece of paper with 100CR written on it can actually be exchanged for money! Guess how much I exchanged? (*≧▽≦)"
Ye Shi: "Huh? If you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here? (Funny)"
Irena: "(funny)"
Crow Crow: "Hey! Don't interrupt, do you still want to know? (;`O′)o"
Sisi: "I guess 10 silver coins."
Fang Chang: "That's what you said."
Stop talking nonsense: "That's right! Stop showing off!"
Tail: "GKD! (`?′)Ψ"
Crow Crow: "Hey, listen to me, I was selling mushroom soup, and suddenly a sneaky NPC ran over, took out a piece of paper, and wanted to take my pot away! And then , just when I didn’t know what to do, the manager suddenly appeared! By the way, the manager’s new armor is so handsome, I wonder if I can buy that skin. (???)”
The mole on the run in the canyon: "Gan! What the **** are you talking about!"
Teng Teng: "???(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻"
Crow Crow: "100! 100 silver coins! The manager took the piece of paper and gave me 100 silver coins! I was about to say, don't rush me. QAQ"
The entire post went silent for a while.
Subsequently, dozens of floors appeared below instantly!
Lao Bai: "?!"
Wind: "..."
Ye Shi: "What the hell?"
Fang Chang: "100???"
Crow Crow: "Don't swipe the screen. To be precise, it's actually 200... Because of the 100CR ticket yesterday, I also chased after and exchanged it with the manager. The manager even praised me and said I’m a good boy, hehe. (=′ω`=)”
Irena: "¥@#!"
Two pots of mushroom soup were exchanged for 200 silver coins!
This luck cannot be described as European Emperor!
Every player on the forum is envious of the separation, and even the early access to the expansion pack is no longer a good thing...
……
On the other side, the reception room of the outpost.
"Hiccup~ This wine is good. The fruity aroma of grapes is mixed with the fragrance of oak. Even in a company... I'm afraid it's a rare treasure."
"Do you still understand this?"
"Of course, my father has a wine cellar with a lot of his collection in it. He goes there every day to stay for a while, not drinking, just to feel the atmosphere. I suspect that if this continues, the wine will change. I'm so jealous...Hey, I really want to go home."
There were several empty wine bottles on the table. Luo Hua was so drunk that he leaned on the chair and burped, talking non-stop.
Chu Guang responded perfunctorily and took the time to glance at the VM, which listed the information Xiaoqi helped him sort out.
[155. This man comes from a wealthy family and holds a mid-level position in the First Pioneer Corps. It is speculated that the crew members of the Pioneer are all middle- and high-level employees in the "enterprise" and have a high status. 】
He exchanged this information for a barbecue table, a pot of soup and six bottles of wine.
In normal times, Chu Guang would never have eaten so extravagantly.
But these efforts are rewarded.
From the mouth of the person in charge of the office, Chu Guang asked a lot of interesting things in a subtle way.
First of all, the company is located in the Yunjian Province in the easternmost part of the Central Continent. It is the outlet of two tributaries of a large river. It was also the political, economic and cultural center before the Prosperous Era, with four strategic areas, three metropolitan areas, and two an industrial center and an ancient urban agglomeration with a "long history".
As for the company's headquarters, it is located in the ruins of the industrial zone between Yunshang City and Yunxia City, above Shelter 6, in a place called "Ideal City".
There are huge walls as tall as dams and towers touching the clouds. Aircrafts shuttle between the streets, but they cannot fly too far. People are crowded into a "city" of less than 500 square kilometers, and most of them are People live underground without windows, and a few people can see the clouds outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
As Chu Guang listened, he always felt that this "ideal city" had a bit of a "city that never sleeps" flavor, and he didn't know how true or false this guy's words were.
In addition, unlike the information Xia Yan heard from hearsay, the company was not full of factions and internal strife, but they themselves were not the kind of organization that the mercenaries of Boulder City understood.
For example, a company does not have a ruler in the strict sense, but only a corporate board of directors with a strict organizational structure and clear division of power. Most of the members of the corporate board of directors are composed of the chairman of the branch company, and there are smaller groups below the branch company. subsidiaries, layer upon layer of matryoshka dolls.
Some of these branches produce steel, some produce cement, some make guns, cannons, and drones, and sell clones or bionic companions. Silver Wing Group is only one of them with a relatively large "market value", but market value changes every day, and it is difficult to say who is the largest.
Ten years ago, the company did send an expeditionary force to the interior, but the target was not Qingquan City in the southern part of the River Valley Province, but the Great Rift Valley in the north.
People always like to take credit for themselves. The same thing may evolve into more than three versions as long as it passes through the mouths of two people.
And most of what is passed down in the end is not the final truth, just because this version is the most talked about, and people are more willing to believe that it is like this.
However, according to Luo Hua, it is true that the expeditionary force did fail, because for a period of time, good news from the front line could often be heard from various channels.
But suddenly one day, no one mentioned it anymore.
Except for those investors who bought "war bonds" who stood on the rooftop, many people never came back, and everything seemed like nothing happened.
In a sense, the "Pioneer" is similar to that expeditionary force. In order to build this magnificent land fortress, the Silver Wing Group also issued a considerable amount of "bonds" and most likely promised some benefits to the wealthy people who purchased the bonds.
But the second half is all Chu Guang’s speculation.
Perhaps his ideological level is not enough. Chu Guang felt that if he lived in such an environment and happened to have a large sum of money in his pocket, he would definitely not waste the money.
In addition, from Luo Hua's mouth, Chu Guang also learned that the goal of their trip was to go to the west to find a place called Shelter 0.
Legend has it that it was the birthplace of a grand plan. The founder of the prosperous era, the pioneer of the great sea route, and the immortal man with countless glory once rested here.
It is regarded by some as the last hope.
"...Since you have such advanced technology, why do you place your hopes on the legendary existence? You actually don't know where it is, right?" Chu Guang poured a glass of wine for Luo Hua and asked, "And I heard your description. Since you were able to build a fortress on the ruins, why did you...well, never think about starting over?"
Luo Hua sighed and waved his hand, smelling of alcohol.
"I have heard this argument too much... My friend, how far have you traveled? You may have traveled the most distance, only from the north of Qingquan City to a little closer to the Fifth Ring Road Moving up a little bit is not as simple as building a few houses."
Chu Guang smiled and said.
"After all, I have only emerged from the underground for a few months...I am also very curious about what the world has become."
"Terrible," Luo Hua shook his head, "What is the most terrifying alien species you have ever seen? Gnawers? Creepers? Our collective name for them is slime mold parasites, so do you know where they came from? Are you there? Have you seen their mother nest?"
Luo Hua continued.
"I have seen them all. I have even seen a mother nest as big as a skyscraper. The out-of-control slime mold merged with reinforced concrete and covered half of the city. The survivors there resisted, but It failed, and then it was swallowed up in pieces... We could do nothing but take dozens of poor people who survived and put them on the lakeside fifty kilometers away."
Chu Guang’s expression changed slightly.
He has heard that there seems to be a mother nest in the center of Qingquan City, and that every once in a while, alien species such as gnawers will spread out from the city center.
Boulder survivors called it "the wave."
This is what Xia Yan told him.
"You just...just leave that brood nest alone?"
"Don't worry about that thing," Luo Hua waved his hand, "You underestimated the power of nature. Everything on this planet will quickly fall into decline after it expands to a certain limit. So will those slime molds. Similarly, in rare cases, they will mutate, go berserk, no longer afraid of the sun, crazily devour the surrounding living creatures, and use their flesh and blood to reproduce rapidly. This sounds scary, but when they expand to a certain scale, they will soon Where will it go back and forth... We call it the self-limiting nature of the expansion of the mutant slime mold colony."
Hearing this, Chu Guang's expression relaxed slightly.
Same.
If they could expand endlessly, this planet would have been occupied by them long ago.
And from the perspective of energy balance, there is probably no ecosystem that can accommodate such a terrifying creature.
After a moment of pause, Luo Hua continued chattering while burping from wine.
"These mutated slime molds are just one of the troubles. As you know, there are only gnawing monsters in this world. Even mutated cockroaches that have nothing to do with slime molds are annoying enough. By the way, there are also Mutants, have you ever seen a 'super mutant' as high as a three-story building? I suspect that thing is just a humanoid tumor. It took us two tactical nuclear bombs to completely eliminate it... So you are really Fortunately, we only used five power armors to get rid of those dozens of mutants."
Chu Guang’s Adam’s apple moved.
He originally wanted to ask where these ghost things came from, but the question that was already on his lips changed his mind and became the question that he had been thinking about all along.
"Who is our enemy?"
Hearing this question, Luo Hua smiled.
"We? Enemies? You mean... that doomsday war? Haha, who knows what happened two centuries ago? I have seen many people who came from cryogenic hibernation in the 22nd century. Some of them really wanted to take refuge, and some They just think it’s fun to go to the future. Haha, they couldn’t tell what happened anyway, and they thought they were standing on the scene of some variety show, shouting that they wanted to sue us.”
As he spoke, Luo Hua's eyes became a little blurred, and the hand holding the wine glass kept shaking.
Chu Guang felt that he was drunk, so he gave him another drink... Anyway, this was his "official business", and there wasn't much left in the bottle.
"Those poor guys... Hiccup, all we can do is hand them over to nearby survivors. Maybe their knowledge can come in handy, but I feel it's enough."
Didn't refuse Chu Guang to pour him wine, Luo Hua raised his head and took another sip, letting out a long wine burp. This time he couldn't even hold his tongue straight.
"It is said that the answer lies in Vault 0. It is not just us who are looking for it, but also the academy, the legion... many people are looking for it, but no results have been heard for so many years. Maybe it is not in the west at all, or maybe it is just in the west. Maybe it doesn't exist like you said. But who knows? Someone has to give it a try."
As he spoke, Luo Hua fell on the table.
Seeing that he was about to tilt his head into the brazier next to him, Chu Guang hurriedly reached out to help him and moved his head to the other side.
Luo Hua was still shouting.
"I'm going to write a biography, and if we succeed, it will become the best-selling work in Utopia."
"I'm afraid that's a bit difficult. Your name is too difficult to pronounce and is not conducive to word of mouth. If you change the 'First Pioneer Corps' to the 'Knights Templar', and then change the Pioneer to the Zheng He, Then change the name of your captain to something more powerful...such as Ruby Yanka, and you go to the West to learn scriptures. I bet this book will become the best-selling adult fairy tale on the East Coast."
Originally Chu Guang was talking nonsense, but Luo Hua’s eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Good idea——"
Halfway through the word "meaning", the young man suddenly stopped eating with a thud. And the wine glass in his hand fell with a clang beside the brazier.
Chu Guang no longer paid attention to the drunkard, but stared at the VM screen.
Looking at the last line of information on the screen, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Legion and Academy..."
The world seems wider than I imagined.
That's great.
I can draw a new pie again.
……
The next morning.
As soon as six o'clock arrived, the hard-working young players got online on time and jogged all the way to the pool in the public toilet in the center of the camp.
After briefly washing up, they continued to run to the open space in the center of the camp, carrying their lunch boxes in small groups.
However, as soon as they arrived at the open space, they were stunned.
I saw about twenty NPCs in gray coats, holding bowls in their hands, already standing in line in front of the cauldron.
Seeing those blue coats looking over, the crew of the Pioneer felt somewhat embarrassed, smiled at their allies, waved friendly, and pointed to the bowls in their hands.
The expression seemed to say——
"Brother, don't panic, let's just have a meal and leave."
The players who were also carrying bowls were shocked.
"Damn! These NPCs are getting more and more confident in their free time!"
"The pot isn't even boiling, so what's the matter?!"
"Huh? Where's Brother Scrambled Egg? I saw him next to the faucet just now, why is he gone?"
Not far away, Brother Scrambled Egg was following Old Luca, walking over with a large basket of noodles in his hand. When he reached the iron pot, he placed the frame heavily on the table.
There are other ingredients and condiments on the table.
Raising his arm and rubbing his forehead, Brother Scrambled Egg put on his sleeves and apron, and tapped the edge of the pot with a spoon.
"Plant meat, artificial starch synthetic noodles, and Crow Boss's chanterelle mushrooms... Let's try some high-tech ingredients today. Let me tell you in advance that I haven't tried it either. Try your best to make it, it won't turn out well. Eat and think about it after your next meal."
Brother Scrambled Egg originally planned to cook porridge for a meal. After all, time in the morning was not as generous as in the evening. They would have to move bricks to the new map later.
But at this moment, his VM suddenly received a task - asking him to cook a pot of delicious food that can make people happy for the players in the camp.
What is food that can make people happy?
Brother Scrambled Egg looked confused, but the three question marks in the mission reward column and the exclusive label for the expansion pack on the header aroused his desire to win.
Hearing that Brother Scrambled Egg was about to show off his skills, the players queuing up excitedly booed.
"The boss is awesome!"
"Give me an extra egg!"
"Pass it on! Brother Scrambled Egg, let us eat it!"
"Ugh, I can't pass this on, you can pass it on yourself!"
Although the surrounding Pioneer crew members did not understand, seeing how excited these blue coats were, they also started to look forward to it.
Brother Scrambled Egg ignored it and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the work in front of him.
After putting some wild boar fat on the bottom of the pot to bring out the aroma of the oil, he skillfully poured the vegetable meat that had been marinated in the "secret cooking wine" into the pot.
Si la——!
The aroma of meat is diffuse.
Stir fry quickly, add color to the soy sauce, sprinkle some salt and pepper to enhance the aroma, wait until the minced meat bubbles, the fried egg brother skillfully picks up a pot of boiling water, pours the boiling water into the iron pot, and shakes it Stir the iron pot a few times and then cover it with a lid.
The sound of gurgling was covered along with the scent.
The sauerkraut here is ready, and the chicken oil mushroom soup there is also fragrant.
The taste buds were constantly being teased, and the NPCs in the queue kept swallowing their saliva one by one. The bowls were switched from left hand to right hand, and then from right hand to left hand, almost touching the paste.
Finally the pot is on.
Brother Fried Egg put the noodles in a strainer, shook them twice to boil them, then put them into the bowl that was handed to him, and poured a spoonful of mushroom soup and a spoonful of meat sauce evenly on top.
"A copy of 4CR! Everyone has a share, don't worry."
Old Luca collected the money, handed the bowl full of noodles to the truck driver who was smiling and thanking him repeatedly, and continued to shout enthusiastically to the gray coats lining up.
"Next!"
