This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 759: Land No. 721
www.novelmao.com, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
Compared with most settlements in the wasteland that are full of human fireworks, Site 721 is more like a real settlement of survivors.
The survivors living here are more like real survivors.
This is not to say that they are poor.
Although the patched cold-weather clothes looked a bit old, they were still much better than the survivors in Borneo who could not afford two pieces of clothing as a family. The locals don’t have to eat dirt. Even in the most difficult times, there are nutritious pastes to keep them going. And in less difficult times, bread and sausages can be obtained.
In fact, the researcher who was sitting on the train writing a paper did not lie. The Science and Technology Committee provided the locals with all the nutrients necessary for survival and the basic necessities to sustain life.
For example, houses made of concrete, fuel for heating and lighting, and schools as beautiful as churches, etc.
The right to education is basically guaranteed. As long as local survivors complete production tasks that are not too demanding in accordance with the requirements of the Science and Technology Committee, they can obtain food and clothing, but they will not live too well.
Most of the suffering suffered by the local people comes from the climate itself, and the climate seems to have nothing to complain about. The Wandering Swamp was not a livable place even before the war.
The only thing that can be complained about seems to be the extremely unequal treatment. The resources that one researcher can enjoy are even more than the total resources consumed by 1,000 ordinary survivors.
And this is just personal living standards, not counting business expenses. If you include laboratory expenses, it becomes impossible to calculate.
But this doesn’t seem worth complaining about.
After all, the opportunity to change your destiny is not completely impossible, and there are even as many as eight times in a lifetime.
As long as you are over 12 years old, you can take the exam to select apprentices. If you don’t admit defeat, you can take the exam until you are 20 years old.
As long as you are admitted as an apprentice, you will not be under the jurisdiction of the Science and Technology Committee, but can become a member of the academy. This not only means personal honor, but also the entire settlement will be honored – the Science and Technology Committee will not only reward the family that cultivates “future researchers”, but also the entire settlement.
It is precisely because of this that for the people who stay in the bitter cold land, all they can complain about is that they did not work hard enough when they were young and pinned all their hopes on the next generation.
As for those families that have given birth to apprentices, they will become the most “hot” stars in the entire settlement, and will be more or less taken care of by the management of the settlement.
For example, Jiang Xuezhou’s father became the captain of the drilling team and did not have to work underground in person, while his mother was transferred from the workshop to the accounting office, which was relatively free.
It’s more than that.
Their house is also the strongest two-story building in No. 721. It is located in the center of the entire settlement, and lives in the same block as the technical staff and managers sent by the Science and Technology Committee.
That street not only has 24-hour heating, gas, electricity, and direct drinking water supply, but is also equipped with basic household appliances and furniture.
But even with special care, the work that needs to be done still needs to be done.
The families of Li Xiang and Wu Xiaoxiao who were traveling together also live on this street, and their relationship seems to be unusual.
Although Ye Shi’s story hasn’t been finished yet, it’s time to say goodbye.
Li Xiang had a lingering reluctance on his face, so he agreed with Ye Shi on the next time to meet, and then the group parted ways at the crossroads.
It was five o’clock in the afternoon when Jiang Xuezhou returned home with Ye Shi. At this time, her parents were still at work, and there was only a little girl at home who was about six or seven years old.
The little girl has two little knots on her head. She looks weird, a bit like a miniature version of Jiang Xuezhou.
Seeing her sister appear at the door, the alertness on the little girl’s face suddenly turned into surprise, and then she swooped forward in surprise.
“Sister?! Are you back?”
“Hey! Sister is back… Yuehan has grown taller! Hug, sister, hehe, you are so good.”
Jiang Xuezhou hugged the younger sister who flew up and stroked her head lovingly, with an unusually soft smile on his face.
The suitcase following her walked through the entrance hall and ran into the house consciously, turning its wheels and heading straight to her room. Soon there was a dinging sound in the room.
Ye Shi couldn’t help but be a little curious, whether this thing would have the function of automatically packing luggage, such as the kind that could unfold like the base vehicle in Red Alert, but he was too embarrassed to follow the room and take a look.
Even if he has never been in love, he knows that it is not polite to enter a girl’s room casually.
Even the old sister Jiujiu who relies on his family will mercilessly blast him out as his master.
While Ye Shi was staring straight at the door at the end of the corridor, the little girl hanging around Jiang Xuezhou’s neck was also looking straight at this strange man.
Letting go of the hand holding his sister, Jiang Xuezhou stood up and looked at Ye Shi, and introduced the two of them respectively.
“This guy’s name is Ye Shi, my sister’s friend. Well, his name is a bit weird, just call him brother… This is my sister Jiang Yuehan, my parents haven’t come back yet, you are in the living room first Sit down for a while while I go pack my things.”
After speaking, Jiang Xuezhou walked through the living room to the end of the corridor, leaving only the two of them standing at the entrance.
Ye Shi smiled friendly at the little girl, then walked around her to the living room, and sat on the sofa cautiously. He wanted to turn on the TV but found that there was no such thing here, so he could only pick up the table I poured myself a glass of water from the glass on the table.
However, what he didn’t expect was that the little girl was surprisingly not afraid of strangers. She sat opposite him and stared directly into his eyes, and suddenly a cold sentence popped out of her mouth.
“Brother, are you my sister’s boyfriend?”
Ye Shi, who was drinking water, almost choked and coughed twice and hurriedly explained.
“No.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the door to make sure someone didn’t come back suddenly.
Although he didn’t know why he felt guilty.
“What…”
The little girl sighed and muttered, “Sister said she would bring her boyfriend back when she comes back next time, but she lied again.”
“…Haha.” Ye Shi smiled awkwardly.
The little girl was still staring at him, and suddenly said softly.
“Brother…when you are not busy, can you take your sister home to visit more often?”
Seeing the loneliness in those eyes, Ye Shi was silent for a while and nodded slightly.
“Yeah.”
He can actually understand why Jiang Xuezhou rarely goes home. After all, with a D-level living condition, the survival rate is not very high even if he is protected by a mentor.
The promotion to D level happened last year. Before that, she was only E level.
That guy may have deliberately distanced himself from them just to prevent them from being too sad when they lost him. Although he usually doesn’t speak nicely, that guy actually cares about other people’s feelings.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so sad when she was lying half-dead on the bed.
At this moment, Ye Shi suddenly realized that he seemed to have accidentally discovered another side of her that was rarely shown.
But he soon shook his head again, driving the strange thoughts out of his ears.
Why do you know so many NPCs…
The little girl sitting on the sofa opposite tilted her head and looked at him. She didn’t understand what he was doing with his head shaking, but she didn’t ask any more questions. Instead, she picked up the unfinished book and continued reading.
The wait was so long. After about an hour, footsteps finally came from the corridor next to the living room.
Seeing Jiang Xuezhou return, Ye Shi breathed a sigh of relief and complained towards the corridor.
“What have you been doing? What took you so long?”
Standing next to the corridor, Jiang Xuezhou changed into casual home clothes, with an apron on his body and a circle of fine beads of sweat hanging on his forehead.
Looking at this guy who didn’t feel pain in his back while sitting and talking, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
“What are you doing? I’m afraid you’ll be hungry after riding all the way… so I got some food.”
“Let’s eat!”
Hearing that her sister had made some food, the little girl sitting on the sofa lit up her eyes. She immediately dropped the dizzying book in her hand and scurried past Jiang Xuezhou like a little rabbit. , got into the small room next to the kitchen.
There is a simple dining table there, where the family eats.
Ye Shi looked at Jiang Xuezhou in surprise, as if he were looking at some kind of exotic animal.
“Can you cook?”
Jiang Xuezhou chuckled, gently lifted the hair hanging behind his ears with his index finger, and raised the bridge of his nose proudly.
“Are you kidding me? I’ve been living alone since I was 12 years old, so I have no problem cooking the food.”
Ye Shi couldn’t help but want to give a thumbs up, but when he heard the words “cook the food”, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Just as he expected, what was on the table was a bowl of roasted small potato **** and a pot of chicken drumsticks roasted in something like an air fryer.
The chicken legs were coated in a waxy red marinade, a bit like Orleans barbecue sauce, but with the flavor of chicken.
Ye Shi swallowed involuntarily and was speechless for a moment.
Is this without blanching?
In fact, it’s not impossible to roast chicken without blanching, but you can’t keep the fishy smell…
However, the little girl was not picky about food at all. She had already grabbed a chicken drumstick and started chewing it happily.
Dissatisfied with the expression on Ye Shi’s face, Jiang Xuezhou wrinkled her nose slightly and put her right hand on her waist.
“Any questions?”
She has a D-class researcher who cooks the food herself, but this guy is not grateful!
None of her respected mentors have eaten what she cooks!
Ye Shi shook his head quickly, forced a smile on his face, and sat down on the chair dignifiedly.
“Nothing… pretty good.”
No matter what, it is the result of hard work.
Besides, resources are scarce in the Wandering Swamp. Even if the ingredients exchanged for G points are very cheap, it is shameful to waste food.
Not hearing the perfunctory tone in the compliment, Jiang Xuezhou’s lips curled up in an elated arc, and he turned around energetically.
“You and Yuehan eat first. Your parents will be back soon. I’ll make some for them too.”
As soon as he heard this, Ye Shi, who had not warmed up his chair, stood up again as if he was electrocuted.
“Wait a minute, let me do it…”
“Can you cook?” Jiang Xuezhou stopped and looked back at him suspiciously.
Ye Shi smiled shyly.
“I know a little bit… To be honest, I have been away from home for more than three years.”
It’s not that he wants to show off, it’s mainly because he feels sorry for the food.
Jiang Xuezhou didn’t think much about it, and nodded blankly, but still gave an uneasy warning.
“That’s okay…but let’s say it first. If you don’t know, you must ask me.”
Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Ye Shi asked directly, “Is there any cooking wine?”
Jiang Xuezhou: “What is that?”
“…Where’s the beer? There’s always onion, ginger, garlic and the like, right?”
“Ah, that’s true… do you want to drink?”
“Who told you I was going to drink? Just get it for me and stand by and watch.”
With that said, Ye Shi also picked up the pot of roasted potatoes on the table, made a friendly smile at Jiang Yuehan, who was looking eagerly here, and said in a coaxing tone.
“Lend this to me for a moment and return it to you later.”
The roast chicken cannot be saved, but this pot of potatoes can still be saved.
“Yeah!”
The little girl nodded obediently, and then watched the two of them walk into the kitchen.
Looking at the lively kitchen, she stopped eating chicken legs. She held her chin in her hands and swayed her calves. Her eyes were shining and she didn’t know what she was thinking in her head.
Speaking of which, this was the first time she had seen such a cheerful sister.
Every time I saw her in the past, she always had a worried expression. Even with a gentle smile on her face, she was not very happy.
I really hope she is so happy every day…
……
At the same time, on the other side, Ye Shi became familiar with the cooking tools in the kitchen under the guidance of Jiang Xuezhou.
Although there is no wok here, only a pot for stewing soup, but for him who often cooks lazy meals, any pot is actually the same.
In order to save one bowl to wash, he can even use a rice cooker to cook, let alone a soup pot.
“Ah ah ah… why did you pour the beer on the duck legs! Doesn’t it taste weird?” Looking at Ye Shi who picked up the beer and poured it into the pot, Jiang Xuezhou hurriedly rushed forward to try it. He tried to stop him, but he couldn’t hold his hand back at all.
She almost forgot that she made most of the parts on this guy herself.
Throwing the can aside, Ye Shi looked at Jiang Xuezhou who was about to cry without tears and couldn’t help but laugh.
“What do you know? This is called a beer duck! It’s rare but strange…”
Jiang Xuezhou was stunned for a moment.
“Beer… wine duck? What is that… ah, what’s wrong! Yuehan can’t drink!”
“Pfft… the duck is cooked, is there any alcohol left?”
“Oh, yes, alcohol is volatile…I almost forgot.” Realizing that he had asked a very stupid question, Jiang Xuezhou blushed and nodded, but watched him pour the potatoes into the bowl and crush them. Broken, and said blankly, “What are you doing?”
Ye Shi said casually.
“Mashed potatoes, children like this the most… Do you have milk, butter and black pepper?”
This thing has a historical tradition in the league. Back then, the scrambled egg guy put a lot of thought into this dish in order to make the croissant potatoes more delicious.
Jiang Xuezhou nodded quickly.
“Yes, I bought some when I came here… They should be in my room now.”
Ye Shi said without looking back while crushing the roasted potatoes.
“What did you put in the room? Get it for me quickly! There is also soy sauce in my suitcase, just the black bottle.”
“Okay, okay!”
Jiang Xuezhou blushed and nodded again, and hurried out of the kitchen. Suddenly he remembered that the apron was still on him, so he went back and tied it for him.
When this guy said he was going to make dinner, she planned to give some instructions, but she didn’t expect that she was the novice and had to run errands.
About 40 minutes later, the sky outside the window had completely darkened, and the time had reached 7 o’clock. Jiang Xuezhou’s parents returned home almost in a hurry.
Listening to the ding-dong-dong sound coming from the kitchen, the two old men thought it was Xiaohan in the kitchen. They quickly put on their shoes and rushed in. They saw Xiaohan sitting in front of the dining table, and there were two things on the table. Serve them dishes they don’t understand.
The alluring fragrance penetrated the tip of my nose.
Father Jiang’s nose moved unconsciously, but Mother Jiang subconsciously looked towards the kitchen, and then opened her eyes wide.
With the paste of mashed potatoes stuck to the corners of his mouth, Osamu chuckled and said in a pleasant voice.
“Dad, Mom, sister brought a man back!”
“What are you talking about!”
Jiang Xuezhou went up angrily and covered her mouth, then glanced hastily behind her.
At the door of the kitchen, Ye Shi was walking out with a pot of beer duck. Seeing the two old men smiled and said.
“Hello, uncle and aunt!”
“Hello, hello…”
Chiang’s father subconsciously spoke politely, looked him up and down again, and said hesitantly, “Who are you?”
Ye Shi was about to say that he was from the wasteland, but before he could speak, Jiang Xuezhou beat him to it.
“His name is Ye Shi! He’s from the Alliance… It’s too troublesome to explain. In short, he’s like a diplomat. Let’s talk about it later during dinner!”
“Oh, over there from the Foreign Affairs Department, please sit down, young man… Why are you asking the guests to cook? You can just wait until we come back.”
Father Jiang stared at Jiang Xuezhou and scolded her, but his voice was not serious. Mother Jiang did the same, looking at her girl dotingly and reaching out to fiddle with her bangs that were wet with sweat.
“That’s right, why didn’t you tell me in advance when your kid came back? Mom just asked for leave.”
Jiang Xuezhou smiled and took his mother’s arm and said coquettishly.
“Isn’t this a surprise for you? By the way, where is big brother?”
Father Jiang said with a smile.
“Your eldest brother is already married. He was transferred from No. 721 to No. 702 at the end of last year. He is now the supervisor of the workshop. I will call that boy back tomorrow!”
The family sat at the dining table and had dinner happily.
At first, Ye Shi was a little reserved, but Jiang Xuezhou’s family were very enthusiastic, and he quickly blended in.
Of course, part of this is due to his superb cooking skills.
Sitting at the table, Yue Han kept stuffing potatoes into his mouth, his eyes sparkling like little stars, and the word delicious was almost written on his face.
“…I didn’t expect your cooking to be so delicious.” Jiang Xuezhou poked his arm and muttered softly.
Being a little overwhelmed by the praise, Ye Shi wanted to raise his nose to the ceiling.
“That’s necessary, but it’s a pity that there is no Lao Gan Ma and rice here, otherwise I would have to give you my best fried rice.”
Eating beer duck with bread is still a bit weird, but it is much more normal than the grilled chicken legs with tomato sauce.
“Huh… I didn’t see you cooking for me when we were in the alliance.” Looking at Ye Shi who looked proud, Jiang Xuezhou said sourly with a slight snort.
Ye Shi said with a smile as if he was in need of a beating.
“You didn’t even ask me for help.”
“You guy…” Jiang Xuezhou gritted his teeth and wanted to give his arm a bite, but thought about it and held back again at the dinner table.
And this guy’s bones were made of titanium alloy, so she was worried that she might chip her teeth.
Halfway through dinner.
The drunken Father Jiang took Ye Shi to have a drink, held his hand and said solemnly.
“Xiao Jiang…she can be a bit impatient sometimes, but she is actually a very caring child. We can’t help her with this matter. Please take care of her when she is outside.”
Hearing these sudden words, Jiang Xuezhou almost choked on the food in his mouth, coughed dryly and said in a panic.
“What are you talking about, Dad!”
Her father ignored her and had no intention of taking back his words. He just stared at Ye Shi sitting opposite, waiting for the young man’s answer.
“Sister is blushing!” Xiao Yuehan chuckled, looking around with a pair of clever eyes.
Facing the old father’s begging look, Ye Shi smiled heartily and agreed.
“Don’t worry, I will protect your daughter!”
After all, he is also a master of T0 in all servers, and it is more than enough to protect an NPC.
Jiang Xuezhou’s face suddenly turned red, and he snorted slightly and lost his voice.
Father Jiang had a smile on his face and nodded with relief.
“With your promise, I feel relieved!”
……
That night, Ye Shi stayed at Jiang Xuezhou’s house and slept in the guest room on the second floor.
Jiang Xuezhou took a week’s leave to visit his family. This week he planned to wander around No. 721 to learn about the lives of the locals and think about the Science and Technology Committee.
Binghai City is a special zone, and it is still too difficult to learn about the college and the Science and Technology Committee through there.
It is also worth mentioning that since No. 721 is not part of the special zone, there is no save point or hotel for players to stay and rest, so he can only stay at the NPC’s house for the night.
To put it bluntly, no caravan will come here.
The reason why the dinner was so sumptuous was thanks to the ingredients that Jiang Xuezhou exchanged with G points.
Normally, if Xiao Jiang didn’t send something home, the family might not be able to have such a sumptuous dinner.
At least on the way here, he didn’t see any shops or anything like that.
Ye Shi couldn’t help but suddenly thought, it would be great if the market of the Science and Technology Commission could be opened.
There are a lot of untapped resources buried underground here, whether they are oil and gas or metal deposits.
People in the Age of Prosperity seemed to have considered the possible sinking in the future, so they left a large amount of unexploited resources in the tundra, mountains, and seabed.
In other words, this land actually has development value, otherwise the college would not choose to put its home here.
However, Ye Shi just thought about it and felt the difficulty of this matter.
His intuition told him that it would be more difficult to pry open the market here than the market in the Xilan Empire…
Taking off his helmet, Ye Wei sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at the wide-screen TV in trance.
The sky outside the window has already lit up, and in reality it is morning. Every time he logs off, it takes a while to get used to what reality feels like on this side.
I can’t tell… I really can’t tell.
Is this the legendary “Internet addiction”?
No wonder minors are not allowed to play.
Not long after he took off his helmet, Jiujiu also yawned and walked out of the room.
This guy has been sleeping for most of the day, but he still looks like he hasn’t had enough sleep, and he doesn’t know what he did in the game.
Looking at her brother sitting on the sofa, Jiujiu blinked and waved her hand in front of him.
“What’s wrong, bro? Hey? It’s time to come back to life.”
Recalling the dinner he just had and Jiang Xuezhou’s family, Ye Wei shook his groggy head, put his helmet aside, and suddenly said with emotion.
“It’s nothing, I just think… this game is a bit too realistic.”
Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then looked at him in surprise, her mouth opened in an O shape.
“Good guy! Are you really with that NPC?”
Ye Wei frowned.
“What the hell? Is there any connection between this?”
Putting his two index fingers together, Jiujiu blushed and whispered in embarrassment.
“I heard you say it was realistic, and I thought you…forget it, forget it, forget it! Oh no, it’s boring.”
“…?”
Looking at Jiujiu who disappeared quickly, Ye Wei picked his head in confusion.
What’s wrong with this guy?
Throwing the helmet aside, he ordered a takeaway and then browsed the official website.
He happened to come across Si Si’s post. He clicked on it and saw that their cargo ship had docked at Xifan Port.
In addition to updating his knowledge of Xifan Port, Si Si also updated the local price information in the post.
According to what she mentioned in her post, the local demand for spirits is extremely strong. If the potatoes from Chip Port can be transported to Golden Gallon Port to be processed into spirits, then sold to West Sail Port, and then purchased into steel Or transporting cement to the Federation, you can make a lot of money even with your eyes closed.
In particular, the tax-free privileges enjoyed by the Wilante people in the local area have led many Wilante merchants to simply take advantage of this rule and load the arriving spirits onto their own cargo ships and bring them back to the Legion’s homeland.
In this way, the spirits that were ostensibly sold to the Xilan Empire ended up being dumped on the Legion.
At the end of the post, she also posted the income from this trip.
What Ye Shi envied was not their profits, but the speed of these guys, who actually pried open the treasury of the Weiland people.
Although it is only a crack that has been opened so far, and there is no telling when it will be blocked by the opponent, it is still a big progress.
“We are all so capable, so we should work hard…” With an envious look on his face, Ye Shi muttered to himself, closing the post and leaning on the sofa to meditate.
First of all, there are definitely many more treasures in the academy than in the legion, and they are the knowledge that the alliance needs most.
However, a problem arises.
The number of players active in the Wandering Swamp is less than three digits, far less than the number in the south.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel troubled.
Not to mention how to pry open the heads of those old stubborns, it would be difficult enough just to trick the little leeks into the swamp…
How should I use this hoe?
