This Game Is Too Realistic

On the street not far from the square, a mosquito driving a truck selling fireworks was caught by a patrolling player wearing a [Festival Autonomous Management Committee] armband.

Pedestrians passing by blocked the surrounding area and watched the excitement curiously.

"Geez! What's wrong with me selling a few fireworks! Why can others sell them but I can't!" The caught mosquito tried to excuse himself and yelled.

The two players who grabbed his arms showed no mercy at all and spat mercilessly.

"You are so embarrassed!"

"Are those fireworks you're selling?"

Irena rummaged through the stalls, picked up a rocket with a caliber as wide as her calf, smashed it on her tongue and said.

"Hailstone 1.0 rocket...hasn't this thing been phased out yet?"

Katyusha rocket launcher with alliance characteristics.

He remembered that he used this thing when he was fighting against the Bone Chewing Tribe, but he didn't expect that he could still see it in 213 years of the Wasteland Era.

Mosquito chuckled, not only not embarrassed, but rather proud.

"That's necessary. Simple and crude weapons are best. I'll modify the weapons so they can be used into the next century."

Building a pigeon missile requires hundreds of supporting industries, but building a human-guided rocket only requires a small workshop.

But the problem is obviously not here.

Irena rolled her eyes and threw the rocket launcher back to the stall, startling everyone watching the excitement.

It's not over yet.

The construction site boy and Brick rummaged in the truck box for a while, then suddenly their eyes widened in surprise and walked out carrying a launch tube.

"Damn it, there's even a recoilless gun?!"

The players wearing the [Celebration Autonomous Management Committee] armbands looked at Brother Mosquito with evil eyes.

Irena was stunned and looked at the mosquito.

"Good guy, you are leaving the arms here to stockpile!"

Being looked at by both pairs of eyes, he broke into a cold sweat. Mosquito quickly coughed and explained.

"Ahem... That's just a cannon shell. You'll know if you try it. It's actually a fireworks shell... How the hell could I put a real weapon here and sell it!"

Of course.

He has also thought about using the opportunity of the celebration to promote goblin technological weapons.

What if?

What if someone becomes interested in the weapons of Goblin Technology after seeing the powerful fireworks of the Alliance?

There must be one!

However, Brother Mosquito's remarks did not convince everyone, at least not the two players who wore the armbands of the Celebration Autonomous Management Committee.

The two strength animals held the guy's arms one on the left and the other on the right, and led him towards the police station regardless of the waving mechanical arm.

"Explain it to the guards!"

"take away!"

"Let me go! I have made contributions to the alliance! I have shed blood for the alliance! I want to see the manager~~"

"be honest!"

Dolly, who was walking among the crowd, whispered in slight surprise as she looked at a certain guy who was yelling and being carried away.

"What...has he committed?"

The Bagua antenna is moving!

She smells the news!

Looking at Dolly, whose eyes sparkled with curiosity, Fang Chang coughed lightly and tightened the hand on his arm.

"Who knows...Okay, okay, let's forget about that guy. The fireworks show is about to start. You don't want to miss it, right?"

He was not surprised at all by Brother Mosquito's performance. If this guy calmed down one day, it would be news.

"It's about to start?! Where are you?"

When she heard the fireworks show, Dolly immediately lost interest in the commotion and looked towards the night sky with a red cloud of excitement on her face.

For her, the fireworks in Dawn City have special meaning.

That was the happiest moment of her life.

Looking at the blush flying up his cheeks, Fang Chang smiled knowingly and gently shook her little hand.

"I'll take you to a place with a better view... follow me."

…

At eight o'clock, the Heart of Steel's gun barrel pointed directly at the night sky and announced the start of the fireworks display with a flare.

This is Xiaoqi's program.

Clusters of flickering flames spread out colorful lights in the night sky, intertwining into a gorgeous sea of ​​flowers under its command.

Although hundreds of thousands of silver coins had to be burned that night, Chu Guang didn't feel bad at all. The smiles on people's faces were worth much more than that.

There are countless survivors attracted by the prosperity of Dawn City to settle here. This is a wealth that cannot be measured in monetary terms.

And seeing Xiao Qi having so much fun, he was also very happy.

Money only has meaning when it is spent. Chu Guang is happy to spend some money to make his little players and NPCs happy.

Looking up at the night sky with twinkling fireworks, the little sheep stood among the crowd holding a marshmallow in his hand, with surprise written all over his face.

"what is that?"

"It's fireworks."

Standing next to her was her father Yang He, looking up at the sky with a smile.

The little sheep gave him a puzzled look and blinked.

"Why set off fireworks?"

Yang He thought for a while and said in a gentle tone.

"There is a legend that the Alliance was born in fire, just like the nirvana of the phoenix...so whenever people here overcome a difficult situation, they will use flames to celebrate their victory."

The little sheep nodded in understanding.

"So that's it..."

"It's just a rumor." Looking at his lovely daughter, Yang He smiled, "Of course, there is another theory. This is a custom brought by the blue coats from the prosperous era. They commemorate that time that was as short-lived as fireworks. And the good old days.”

The lamb took a bite of the marshmallow, with curiosity and confusion still written on her face. Obviously, she was too old to understand these words.

She grew up on Pinecone Farm and had never seen these novel things.

Although she had only lived in the Alliance for less than two months, she could feel that the words and thoughts of the people here were completely different from those in her hometown.

There are so many delicious things.

No wonder her father didn't want to go back and always wanted to take her away from the manor.

The little sheep couldn't help but think of Yin Yin and wondered how she was doing now. Then he couldn't help but think that it would be great if he could share this white and soft sweet with her.

Looking at the confused child, Yang He showed a relieved smile and gently rubbed his daughter's hair.

"You don't have to think too much. It's nice to just stand under the light and admire it."

Children are not supposed to know so much in the first place. There are some things that they should gradually understand as they grow older.

He was not proud or proud of her maturity, he only felt guilty that he owed her so much...

Not far away from the two of them, Shuanghe was holding the hand of his sister Shuangye, excitedly counting the falling stars in the sky.

Shuangxue looked up at the Heart of Steel, her face flushed with red clouds, but she didn't know what she was thinking about.

On the other side, upstairs in the Honey Badger Kingdom embassy building, Avni was sitting in front of the window looking at the starry night sky.

In those eyes that reflected the fireworks, there was both envy and appreciation for the beauty and prosperity, as well as a hint of resentment.

It would be great if I could stand next to him and enjoy this beautiful scenery...

Beside the highway on the eastern outskirts of Dawn City, a Titan covered with light red slime mold and mottled rust was standing, lifting tourists and children high with its broad palms, and from time to time it made a metallic-accented murmur, playing. He was so happy that he lost all the ferociousness before.

It was Xiaoyu who controlled it, and Luoyu was not far from it, throwing a few candies to it from time to time, and showing a knowing smile.

Dolly, who had just come down from its palm, had an incredible look on her face. She hugged Fang Chang who helped her down and kissed her hard.

"Eeh! (I want it too)"

Seeing Xiao Yu who was about to move closer, Luo Yu who was standing aside quickly comforted him.

"No, Xiaoyu, this fruiting body is too big and will hurt people."

"Uh-huh..." Xiaoyu screamed in grievance, but still obeyed and continued to act as an elevator for the children.

Envoys from other settlements were shocked when they happened to see this scene.

Especially missions from the Bugla Free State.

They came here with congratulatory gifts. They originally planned to send congratulations and at the same time test the alliance's tone to see if they could complete the task assigned to them by the Great Rift Valley, but they did not expect to see such an astonishing scene!

The Alliance can actually control the war machine of the Age of Prosperity through mutant slime mold!

Although they don’t know how powerful this Titan is in combat, this alone is enough to attract their attention...

Not far from Titan, there is a group of gnawers in strange costumes, performing stacking, stilts, and throwing and catching balls under the command of Big Eyes of Debt.

Looking at the silver coins piled up on the ground, his eyes widened with joy, and he gradually lost himself in the cheers and cheers of the people.

Relying on people's rewards, he has made thousands of silver coins at least this time. No matter how hard he works, he can make back the money he spent to buy these wastes!

What a genius!

…

In the lobby of the Highway Town Hotel, cups and plates were scattered around, and people were toasting to celebrate this extraordinary moment.

"Cheers to the Alliance!"

"Cheers to the managers!"

"I hope the next time it will be so lively is when the adult's child is one month old!"

"Hahaha! Even if it's still early!"

"I wish him good health and a long life!"

Not everyone is interested in the fireworks outside. Singles like Lao Bai and Edge Pad prefer to sit in the pub, drink and brag.

Looking at the bustling room, Sun Shiqi, who was sitting at a table in the corner of the lobby, was drunk and sighed with his drinking buddies sitting at the same table.

"The changes here are really getting bigger day by day, you know? My most proud business was not buying the Infinite Steel Factory from Fred, but using the first pot of gold I earned from running a business to I bought a piece of land next to the central square of Shuguang City and built a building and a warehouse... Unfortunately, the warehouse is a bit far from the trading station, so I plan to turn it into a shop."

Zhou Nan, who was sitting opposite, rolled his eyes.

"Stop showing off there! If you're not satisfied, you can sell it to me!"

Sun Shiqi: "Haha! Don't even think about it!"

The drinking buddies sitting around knew that he was showing off, but they had nothing to say other than envy.

This guy's vision and courage are indeed beyond words.

Two years ago, if there were merchants who had made a little money from doing business, they would have thought about immediately exchanging chips for buying some properties in Boulder City. No one would have thought about building any house in the northern suburbs with nothing, even those blue coats and other blue-collared people. The coat does look different.

Although the nobles in the inner city do not have martial ethics, they at least have strong fists and are much more disciplined than the slave traders and plunderers in the wasteland.

However, no one expected that in just two years, this settlement would develop into what it is today, and even the residents of Ideal City could not help but look at it with suspicion!

At this moment, in an inconspicuous corner of the lobby, Sun Yuechi was flipping through the headlines of today's latest issue of the newspaper, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

He originally thought that the Alliance would go the same way as Boulder City, but now it seems that they are not what he imagined.

They chose the latter without hesitation between human authority and legal authority.

What surprised him even more was that what he saw behind this incident was not only a huge cohesion, but also an incredible ability to repair itself.

After learning about what happened in Vault 117, he conducted in-depth research into the society of Boulder City.

That settlement was also led by a group of heroes and relied on its huge cohesion to attract countless people of insight to join and create a miraculous past. Unfortunately, in the end, the survivors were lost to time.

"They are like slime molds. After being penetrated by a bullet, they will quickly repair the wound and evolve armor to resist puncture damage...Compared to pure cohesion, what is even more incredible is their error correction ability. Constantly evolving.”

A smile appeared on Sun Yuechi's face, he closed the newspaper in his hand, left the payment, got up and walked out of the hotel.

It was not as chaotic as he had imagined, and the manager was not just a warlord who had risen to the top as he had initially imagined.

Compared with the Prosperity Era, there are obviously many shortcomings here, but they are willing to change and let people see its changes.

perhaps--

Vault 70 can help him.

He couldn't find a better candidate anyway.

…

After watching Xiao Qi's fireworks show, Chu Guang came to the alliance banquet hall and accepted compliments from other survivors' settlements in the wasteland on behalf of the alliance.

In fact, he himself has no interest in showing off. Seeing that the foreign minister can also handle the missions in other settlements, but considering that this is a good opportunity to win diplomatic support for the alliance, he still came here as a reward. A trip.

Otherwise, if he had spent so much money on large-scale construction projects and military campaigns, who would have paid the bill?

Immediately, the alliance will continue to move south to clean up the cancer entrenched in Jinchuan and Haiya provinces, which will cost a lot of money.

You can't pay for this kind of good thing that benefits all mankind, right?

Rather than spending his own money to do good deeds without leaving his name behind, Chu Guang still prefers to spend money from other people's pockets for charity in a big way.

The first thing he did after establishing a cross-regional cooperation organization was to establish the division of labor between member states and the alliance's relative dominance in "slime mold-related matters."

After completing this task, he will immediately start to do the second task - declaring the Torch Church, which uses slime mold DNA to create hell on earth, as a cancer of human civilization and a natural disaster in this game!

This excuse for war is not very good at uniting the settlements established by wastelanders such as the Red River Alliance, Garbage City, and the Sunset Province countries, but it is naturally correct for the ancient survivor forces.

Even if it is just a pretext for war that stands on the moral high ground, it cannot make colleges and companies go all out on the issue of the Torch Church. It can at least mobilize part of the power in their society and use this part of the power to unite the people around the River Valley Province. Small and medium-sized settlements.

At that time, the diplomats of the alliance can go to other settlements to brag - you see, the Fallen Empire is here, why don't you just go and get assists?

At that time, the war between the Alliance and the Torch will no longer be a unilateral war between the Alliance, but a confrontation between the entire civilized camp and the anti-civilized camp.

When the time comes, those who have money will contribute, and those who have no money will contribute. In this way, not only will the huge war expenditures be met, but a skilled ally will be added to the alliance's tanks.

In order to maximize the use of the "Joint Processing Center" on the B7 floor, the technology of the academy is indispensable.

Just as Chu Guang expected, when he stepped into the banquet hall wearing power armor, he immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

In addition to representatives from colleges and companies, there were also many settlements that even Chu Guang had heard of for the first time.

Of course, what surprised him even more was that just when Xiaoqi whispered to him, the envoy from the Bugla Free State also arrived here.

If the news is true, this will be the first time an emissary from the Free State has arrived in the Alliance.

Since the two sides had not established embassies for each other before, the envoy representing the Free State was treated the same as other envoys from small and medium-sized survivor settlements who came to the alliance for the first time. They entered the banquet hall with a "temporary identity card".

The alliance is very lax about the identity of those who attend the banquet. Players who have achieved meritorious service in the expansion pack can enter, old friends who have established diplomatic relations with the alliance can enter, and envoys from settlements who come to the alliance for the first time can also enter.

As long as the name of the settlement can be found in the import and export records of the Alliance trading post, the envoy can circle the location of the settlement he represents on the map, tell how many survivors there are, and bring companion gifts. , you can come in and eat and drink.

Although there have been cases of people pretending to be messengers before, or communities of dozens of people pretending to be settlements of tens of thousands of people, no one cared about such things.

There are so many messengers in Dawn City, so if you like to pretend, just do it!

In Chu Guang's words, everyone who comes here is a guest. Anyway, he doesn't miss this meal. It's not a bad idea to exchange a meal for a gift and put it in the museum.

Besides, this is a wasteland.

Although the alliance has established order within a limited scope, most places are in a barbaric state. A settlement that existed yesterday may not be there tomorrow, and a settlement that does not exist today may exist tomorrow.

Therefore, Chu Guang specifically told the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Alliance that if he encounters someone claiming to be from a certain settlement, regardless of whether he has heard of it or not, just assume it is true.

However, it must be admitted that the only ones that the Alliance has truly established diplomatic relations with are at least the survivors who have sufficient trade relations with the settlements under the Alliance. It is impossible to let those wastelanders who come from nowhere to fool around.

Against this background, the envoy from the Bugla Free State who entered with a temporary identity card was undoubtedly an anomaly in the banquet hall.

Their monthly trade volume with the alliance is at least tens of millions in Cr, but because they have not officially established diplomatic relations with the alliance, no one can confirm whether their identity is true or false, so they can only issue him a temporary identity card, and there is no way That's considered a neglect.

In fact, not only the master of ceremonies in charge of the banquet and the foreign minister of the alliance expressed doubts about the guy's identity, but even the small settlements did not believe that the guy was really from the Free State.

Looking at the guy standing alone in the banquet hall, a well-dressed, half-drunk man came over and said teasingly with a smile.

"Brother, it's okay. Others just make up random names and come in to eat and drink. You just go by the name of the Free State. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you got it wrong?"

Looking at this rude guy, Noreg looked annoyed, but thinking of Mayor Odo's instructions, he suppressed his temper and calmly extended his right hand.

"I am Noreg, the Foreign Minister of the Free State. Who are you?"

Seeing that this guy looked drunk, he didn't look like a serious person. Noleg's eyes couldn't help but bring out a bit of contempt.

Speaking of eating and drinking, is there anyone who is more of a food and drinker than this guy?

"Nice to meet you. I come from Ideal City and am Luo Hua, the chairman of the company." The man held his hand and shook it with a playful smile.

Looking at this guy who was telling lies with his eyes open, Noreg rolled his eyes and withdrew his hand as fast as he touched something dirty.

He is the foreign minister appointed by Otto. He belongs to the pro-enterprise faction in the Free State. He has been to Ideal City countless times, and he even knows Utopia better than the people in Ideal City.

He had only heard that there was a board of directors there, but he had never heard of the position of chairman.

What a liar!

Luo Hua didn't care and laughed. After all, he was indeed joking, and he just came in to eat and drink.

It happened that at this moment, Noleg saw Chu Guang walking towards the door of the banquet hall. His eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately greeted him with a fake smile.

"Hello, dear Mr. Administrator, this is the first time I meet you. I am Noregg, the Foreign Minister of the Free State. I have admired your name for a long time!"

Chu Guang was not sure whether this guy was real or fake, but he still stretched out his steel-covered hand and shook it.

"Welcome to the Alliance, Mr. Noregg, I've heard of the prosperity of the Free State and the commercial miracles of the Northern Corridor, and we welcome all law-abiding traders and travelers as our guests."

Although Chu Guang just said something casually, this sentence had other meanings in Norege's ears.

Reflexively thinking of the Sindison case that caused a stir in the Free State, his expression froze slightly.

However, thinking of the Great Rift Valley's instructions and Mayor Odo's instructions, Noreg suppressed his emotions and forced an awkward yet polite smile on his face.

"Of course... our businessmen absolutely abide by the law."

Chu Guang gave this guy a strange look and didn't understand why he emphasized something inexplicably. However, before Chu Guang could think further, he noticed an old acquaintance standing beside him.

"Luo Hua?!"

"Chu Guang! Haha, my old friend, I knew you would definitely come here. It's been such a long time! By the way, I brought you good news. You have to have a drink with me this time! "

Luo Hua, who was holding a wine glass, greeted him enthusiastically, but Noleg, who was standing next to him, was dumbfounded.

Is this guy really called Luo Hua?

etc--

Could it be that the chairman is also real?

Looking at the alliance manager who took the wine glass with a smile and had a drink with the guy, Noreg was dumbfounded...
