This Game Is Too Realistic

North entrance.

The spacious shed thrives.

Chu Guang, wearing blue power armor, stood in the shed, looking at the little players busy at the market, with a fatherly smile on his face.

good.

Draw a cake and let the players bake it themselves. Sure enough, this is what planning should do.

Chu Guang originally thought that hosting this celebration would consume a lot of inventory, but now it seems that his worries were completely unnecessary.

Those young players obviously read his event copy several times, and even dug out the things he wanted to express but was too embarrassed to write in the copy from the perspective of the game background.

A wasteland foodie.

Naturally, we have to use some "authentic" food from the wasteland.

How dare you say that the food you cook is the "purest wasteland"?

Crunchy cricket meat, deep-fried mutated cockroach legs, leeches jumping in the pot, and glowing blood-sucking worm steaks, all put together!

Of course, Chu Guang would not eat it himself.

He doesn't have N lives.

It is better to eat something healthy and hygienic.

There are three prizes in the competition.

One is the food in the minds of wastelanders, the other is the food in the minds of players, and the other is the approval from the managers.

The selection criteria for the three awards are different, and the judges are also different, but the rewards are generally the same.

That is, huge activity points!

Limited title!

As well as entering the Hall of Fame and shining in the forum!

Like previous events, you can earn points by completing tasks during the event, and the points can be used to redeem event-limited rewards, as well as New Year red envelopes - in fact, it is a lottery with a different name.

Prizes include but are not limited to the first prize of 666 silver coins, and the special prize - a carbon nano bulletproof vest worth 6666 silver coins.

This thing has never been put on the shelves in the NPC store. The price was randomly marked by Chu Guang. Anyway, no one would refute it even if he added a zero estimate.

In addition to the lottery, what interests players the most is of course the limited title and the opportunity to enter the Hall of Fame.

And according to the manager himself, if he wins the title of "Wasteland Gourmet", the dishes he designs will be included in the menu of this year's New Year's party.

For professional players, this temptation is too great.

In order to compete for this title, the condiments except salt are almost sold out in the warehouse.

As a result, Chu Guang had to temporarily adjust his activity strategy, temporarily removing the seasonings from the warehouse shelves and instead collecting them after completing the task.

It is precisely because of this that the progress of completing daily tasks in the past few days has been quite gratifying, and he, as a manager, has also received reward points from the system.

In order to meet the cooking needs of players, Chu Guang spent almost all his points on primary blind boxes these days, and for this purpose he also obtained a lot of seeds of high-yielding crops.

This can be considered an unexpected gain.

Looking at the wooden cards on the table, Xia Yan looked at Chu Guang in confusion and asked.

"What is a judge?"

She had never heard such a strange word.

Chu Guang thought for a moment and explained.

"To put it simply, if you walk around the north entrance and think that the food looks good, take one back. If it tastes good, just give it a thumbs up."

Of course, you have to give it to Crow Crow before eating it.

As a perception player, her talent is poison intuition, and she can tell what cannot be eaten at a glance.

In addition, her physical attributes are not high, so if she eats something that is okay, others can basically eat it.

Crow Crow is very happy to be a "taster".

Chu Guang still remembered how the little player patted his chest and promised himself that he would do his best to maintain the order of the celebration, and asked himself to hand over this "glorious and arduous" task to her.

"Oh, that's it." Xia Yan nodded in confusion.

To sum it up, just take whatever you like when you see it?

Eat and drink for free without spending any money?

This is so cool! ?

Xiaoyu, who was sitting behind the long table, looked a little embarrassed.

She secretly glanced at Brother Chu and said in a low voice.

"But... is it really okay if I don't give you money?"

To be honest, this question is a bit redundant.

What do judges pay for food?

Not charging an entry fee is generous enough!

Not to mention that there are points rewards for participating. Even the lowest consolation prize is definitely enough to pay for the meal.

Chu Guang originally planned to say this, but when he saw the regretful expression on Xiaoyu's face, he changed his words again.

The dog can plan on his own.

But you can't teach the children bad things.

"This is part of the celebrations and the expenses of the event will be borne by the shelter... You can understand that the money has already been paid."

There was a pause here.

Looking at the confused Xiaoyu, Chu Guang smiled gently and continued.

“Remember to say thank you to them before you taste it.”

"They'll be happy all day long."

Boss Xia, who was standing aside with his arms folded, also nodded in understanding.

understood.

It turns out it’s not free food and drink.

It's public money for food and drink.

…

The food competition to welcome the New Year is in full swing. In order to get the limited title, both professional players in life and professional players in combat are trying their best.

The event lasted until the last day of December.

This day is a rare sunny day.

The howling north wind and blizzard are at their end, and the harsh winter seems to have come to an end.

Everything indicates that dawn is coming and victory is just around the corner!

In order to welcome the upcoming Wasteland Era 212, the outpost was filled with lights and colorful decorations, making it very lively.

The doorways of many houses have been pasted with red paper and hung with bright red strips of cloth and ribbons.

In order to make the festival atmosphere stronger, Chu Guang also issued a special task and asked the carpenter's hut to make more than 40 lanterns, which were hung from the square in front of the sanatorium to the market at the north entrance.

Dusk.

More than forty lanterns were lit.

The hazy light, set against the blazing torches, made the entire outpost lively and even more festive.

Chu Guang discovered that his little players were simply geniuses.

In just one week, despite the lack of supplies, his little players surprisingly unlocked hundreds of recipes.

There were some extremely creative ideas that even he couldn't help but marvel at.

Such as rattan.

It is said that she gained experience from nomads. With the help of sisters Qiucao and Qiuye, she boiled shellac from the pupae of devil moths and made something similar to "soil bamboo shoot jelly".

The thing was crystal clear, white, soft, and tasted like jelly. No one would think of a devil moth unless they mentioned it on purpose.

Without any suspense, this delicacy won the award for "The Most Popular Wasteland Food among Players".

After all, compared to Lao Na’s salt-and-pepper charcoal grilled mantis legs and some “realistic delicacies” that have nothing to do with the wasteland at all, this dish cleverly finds a balance between the two.

And the taste and texture are quite good, and it is of the "orderly neutral" kind.

The only pity is that there is no chili sauce, otherwise it would be more delicious.

However, not everyone is satisfied with the results.

Especially for those who "almost" won the game...

"Gan! Why am I not the gourmet foodie of the wasteland? It's obviously so delicious!"

"that is!"

"unacceptable!"

The awards session ended as early as noon, and now it's celebration time.

The unwilling Mole, the Elf King Fugui and Lao Na roasted all the unfinished mantis legs in the canyon, trying to prove themselves with their taste.

Unfortunately, the stall of the three people was sparsely populated, and no one visited it at all.

Even after confirming that it was not poisonous, Crow Crow still shook his head like a rattle.

"Sorry, I'm not feeling well. I really can't accept this kind of food!"

The kind-hearted Miss Teng Teng took a closer look, thinking about buying some to comfort them, but when she was about to pay, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Speaking of which...are there really no iron worms?"

Upon hearing these words, Brother Mole suddenly felt as if a pinch of salt had been sprinkled on the wound, and he said with a look of sorrow and indignation.

"There are so many iron worms! Not all mantises have iron worms!"

Elf King Fugui: "That's right! It exploded like this! And isn't it poisonous?"

Irena: "Gan! Do you know how hard it is to find these things in the winter!"

"Sorry, sorry, I, I, I won't ask anymore..." Teng Teng hurriedly took out the VM. Although she didn't know why she wanted to apologize, she paid for it anyway.

Unable to watch anymore, Ye Shi walked over, patted Irena on the shoulder, and sighed.

"Forget it, Lao Na, let's give up and stop struggling."

Irena said sadly and angrily: "Ni Zuokai! I won't go offline until it's sold out!"

Ye Shi silently let go of his hand.

Good guy.

It turns out that I was already prepared to stay up all night...

…

The food award most recognized by players was won by Teng Teng in one fell swoop.

The delicacy recognized by many NPCs including Boss Xia, Xiaoyu, Yin Fang, Heya, guards and warehouse managers is the "Mushroom Cloud Cake" made by Crow Crow.

As a food taster, she also participated in this competition.

Beat the egg whites with eggs bought from the Frostspear clan and mix them with sugar. Crow Crow skillfully uses the egg whites with a round-mouthed piping bag to make small mushroom caps, with chocolate chips sprinkled around them.

The whole cake looked like a mushroom cloud, and the chocolate chips around it formed a nuclear crater. If I had to say it, it could barely be considered a wasteland-style food.

But to be honest, in Chu Guang's opinion, this was completely a trick.

The chocolate, sugar and eggs were all bought, and they were far from cheap.

Although Chu Guang repeatedly emphasized that what he wanted was cheap and delicious food, the NPCs were all conquered by the taste of chocolate and had no interest in wasteland-style food.

Looking at Xiaoyu with shining eyes, Chu Guang couldn't bear to vote down, so he didn't say anything.

Fortunately, he also expected that the voting results would be biased, so he set up a third award - "The food most recognized by managers."

This award was presented by him personally.

The food that won the award was Cow Horse Team’s “Split Claw Crab Cakes.”

Add 400g of split-claw crab meat to 450g of green wheat flour, mix in 10g of salt and a little buffalo grass powder and squeeze the juice of white berries to get a full kilogram of cracked-claw crab meat mince.

The meat patties made from this kind of minced meat do not have the oxalic sour taste of green wheat, but retain the flavor of crab meat. There is no doubt that it is delicious.

It was large in quantity and easy to store. Chu Guang awarded the award to its inventor without saying a word.

Since it is a group work, except for the name of Chef Tomato Scrambled Eggs, which will be displayed on the first-level page of the Hall of Fame, the list of other collaborators will be included in the second-level sub-page.

I don’t have any objections to these collaborators, after all, their names are already in the Hall of Fame.

Giving up this rare opportunity to Brother Scrambled Egg was originally a decision they made after their own discussion.

Stand at the north entrance of the base.

Chu Guang, wearing power armor, announced the final result of the competition in a loud voice, and then raised his wine glass to the crowd in the celebration.

“Enjoy the last day of the New Year!”

“Let’s drink to a good harvest next year!”

There was a lot I wanted to say.

But looking at the young players whose faces were filled with excitement, Chu Guang suddenly felt that a long speech seemed a bit redundant at this time.

Just give your time to them.

Just quietly be a handsome NPC.

As the words fell, the market at the north entrance suddenly burst into cheers, and wooden wine glasses were raised high.

"Ouch!"

"The master planner is awesome!"

"Woooooooo, I finally don't have to eat takeout alone on New Year's Day this year!"

"Brothers who don't exist, they still have to eat even if they take off their helmets."

"Okay, stop talking, I'm going to shed tears again."

There are about 500 players who choose to celebrate the festival in the game, and basically all of them are here.

As for the other 300 players, they are either busy in real life or spending time with their families. They will probably come back after noon tomorrow.

In addition to the players, the faces of the NPCs who came to participate in the celebration were also filled with happiness and joy.

It turns out that celebrations are such a happy thing.

It turns out that festivals are such a thing!

Life seems to have new hope. Even if they are not aware of it, a sense of cultural identity is gradually taking shape in their hearts.

Chu Guang took out the last few barrels of red wine in the inventory and gave everyone a small glass.

Although everything was divided, Chu Guang didn't feel bad.

First of all, he has decided not to drink much in this life, and he won't drink if he can.

Besides, he snatched this wine from Old Leech's wine cellar anyway, so it doesn't matter if he drinks it all.

There will be new ones next year.

"Cheers! Hiccup——"

Boss Xia excitedly raised his wine glass, drank it down in one sip, and ran over to Chu Guang with a blushing face, asking if Chu Guang still had any more. He perfectly explained what it means to eat food and drink at the same time.

Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to the brazier, took a sip of milk and glanced at Xia Yan worriedly, worried that she would drink him up and pass out like last time.

Yin Fang stared at the wine glass for a while, smelled it, drank it with a frown, and then returned to the shelter muttering to continue his research.

When it came to Heya, after finishing the drink in one gulp, her expression did not change at all. She stood there and looked at the lively players and wastelanders with interest.

For her, who grew up in a shelter, everything here was so fascinating.

Whether it's DNA or culture.

After giving his cup to Boss Xia, Chu Guang glanced at the empty cup in her hand with a slightly surprised expression.

"I didn't expect you to have such a good drinking capacity."

Heya didn't feel there was anything difficult to understand and said it matter-of-factly.

"After all, my liver, stomach and... are all bionic organs. They can be selectively absorbed or not absorbed at all."

Chu Guang: "..."

All right.

What a waste.

Outposts were not the only ones celebrating the New Year. After Chu Guang announced the start of the celebration, he released a mission through VM, selected a few young players, and went to the temporary shelter located in the abandoned department store, and also sent a copy to the refugees there. New Year's greetings.

Not much.

About 300 kilograms of crab cakes.

Although each person can only get a small piece of 200g crab cake, it is still split-claw crab meat.

I believe this New Year's gift from Vault 404 should bring them a little warmth.

…

"Damn it, why can't stewed catfish soup with bear paws work!"

The celebration has entered the second half. Watching a pot of dark fish soup that is almost cold, Tai squats on the ground in deep shock and draws circles on the snow with branches.

Si Si comforted her and said.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the dish itself. There's probably something wrong with the cooking method... By the way, why is the soup black when it's stewed? I remember it wasn't white before?"

"Please don't worry about these details."

"No... I think it's better to find out."

Irena, who ate all the roasted mantis legs without anyone paying attention and pretended that everything was sold out, happened to wander here.

Seeing the dark dish stuffed with bear paws and fish heads in the pot, he couldn't help but gloated and joked.

"Did you stew the meat?"

Tails gave him a dissatisfied look.

"How is that possible! Rourou can talk!"

And that's her mount!

It took a lot of effort to tame it.

Sis, who was accompanying Tails, sighed and said helplessly.

"It's not Rourou's hand, but it has something to do with Rourou. In short, the tail used Rourou as bait to lure the hibernating brown bear out of the hole. E... The situation was a bit confusing at that time. I I won’t describe it.”

Irena scratched the back of her head: "Well, I'm curious about the details, but shouldn't I ask more?"

The players who heard this all cast sympathetic glances at Rourou. Only Rourou looked like he was about to cry.

"Wait a minute, please make it clear. Everyone has obviously misunderstood!"

Ignoring the noise of his teammates, Tails was still mumbling there.

"Damn it, it tastes pretty good!"

Sis patted her shoulder.

"Okay, okay, don't be sad...ah, it seems that there is a mission, and it seems to be a hidden mission. Do you want to come with us?"

As soon as he heard that it was a hidden mission, Tai Wei immediately stood up and said with bright eyes.

"want!"

An old fatherly smile appeared on Sisi's face.

This kid is so sweet.
