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.

People passing by blocked the area, watching the excitement in wonder.

"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 mean!"

“Are those fireworks you’re selling?”

Irena rummaged through the stalls and 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 of the Wasteland Era.

Mosquito smiled, not only was he not embarrassed, but he looked rather proud.

"That's necessary. Simple and crude weapons are the most useful. I'll modify the weapons so they can be used until 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 doesn't appear here.

Irena rolled her eyes and threw the rocket launcher on the stall, shocking the people watching the excitement.

This is not over yet.

The boy at the construction site rummaged through the cargo box of the brick truck for a while, then suddenly his eyes widened in surprise and he 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 startled and looked at the mosquito.

"Boy Tuo, 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!"

Betrayal.

He has never thought of using the celebration as an opportunity 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!"

"Bring me together!"

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

"Be honest!"

Dolly in the crowd whispered in slight surprise as she looked at a certain guy being lifted up in a groan.

"What...has he committed?"

The Bagua antenna is moving!

She smelled it!

Looking at Dolly, whose eyes were twinkling with curiosity, Fang Chang coughed slightly and tightened the small hand on his arm.

"Who knows... Sorry, 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 settled down one day, he would be considered a big deal.

"Is it about to start?! Where is it?"

Hearing 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 gun barrel of the Steel Heart was pointed at the night sky, announcing the start of the fireworks show with a flare.

This is Xiaoqi's program.

Clusters of flickering flames spread out colorful lights in the night sky, weaving 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 surviving people 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 flashing fireworks, the little sheep standing in the crowd holding a marshmallow in his hand, his face full of surprise.

"What's that?"

"It's fireworks."

Standing next to her was her relative 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 reborn 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 saying. This is a custom brought by the blue coats from the prosperous era. They commemorate that time that was as short-lived and as fireworks. The age of Mei Tuo.”

The little sheep took a bite of the marshmallow, but her face was still full of curiosity and confusion, which showed that she was too old to understand these words.

She grew up on a pine cone farm and had never seen these strange 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 things to eat.

No wonder her father didn't want her to go and always wanted to pick her up from the manor.

The little sheep couldn't help but think of Yin Yin, wondering how she was doing, and then he couldn't help but think that it would be great if he could enjoy this soft 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 slowly understand as they grow older.

He was not proud or proud of her maturity, he only felt guilty that he owed her too 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 raised her head and looked up at the steel heart number, with little red clouds on her face, 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. It used its broad palms to lift tourists and children high, and from time to time it uttered metallic-accented murmurs, just for fun. I was so happy that the ferociousness before me was gone.

It is Xiaoyu who controls it, and Luoyu is 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 groaned aggrievedly, but still obeyed and continued to act as an elevator for the children.

When Minato saw this scene, the envoys from other settlements were shocked.

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 mission given to them by the Great Rift Valley. However, 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, stilt walking, and throwing and catching balls under the command of Big Eyes.

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 rubbish!

Damn it, Jian Yi is 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 and the child are one month old!"

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

"I wish him long and healthy life!"

Not everyone is interested in the fireworks outside. For example, singles like Lao Bai and Bian Piaoshui 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 slightly drunk, and his drinking buddies sitting at the same table sighed with emotion.

"The changes here are really getting bigger and 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 at Dawn. I bought a piece of land next to the city's central square and built a building and a warehouse... Unfortunately, the warehouse is a bit far from the trading post. 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 truly unparalleled.

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 property in Boulder City. No one would have thought about building any house in the northern suburbs with nothing, even those with blue coats and other The blue jacket does look different.

Although the nobles in the inner city do not have martial ethics, at least they have strong fists and are 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. Even the residents of Ideal City couldn't help but look askance!

At this moment, in an inconspicuous corner of the lobby, Sun Yuechi was flipping through the headlines of the latest newspaper of the day, 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 wanted.

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

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

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 wise people to join and create a miraculous past. Unfortunately, the survivors were lost to time in the end.

"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 ability to correct mistakes. They It’s constantly evolving.”

A smile appeared on Sun Yuechi's face, he closed the newspaper in his hand, left the check money, got up and left the hotel.

It was not as chaotic as he thought, and the manager was not just a warlord who rose to prominence like a monkey, as he originally thought.

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

Maybe——

Vault 70 can help him.

Anyway, he couldn't find a better candidate.

…

After watching Xiaoqi'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 pretending. Seeing that other settlements can also be entrusted by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but considering that this is a good opportunity to win foreign support for the alliance, he still appreciates it. Came here.

Otherwise, if he had spent so much money on large-scale construction projects and conquered the North and South, 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. This will cost a lot of money.

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

Rather than using his own money to do good deeds without leaving his name behind, Chu Guang still prefers to use others' money to do charity in a big way.

The first thing after establishing a cross-regional cooperation organization is to establish the division of labor among member states and the relative dominance of the alliance in "slime mold-related matters."

After finishing this thing, he will immediately start to do the second thing - declaring that the use of slime mold DNA to create hell on earth is a cancer of human civilization, and this game is a natural disaster!

This excuse for war is not easy to unite the wastelanders from the Red River Alliance, Garbage City, and Luoxia Province to establish settlements, but it is naturally correct for the ancient survivor forces.

Even if it is just a pretext for war based 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 some of the power in their society and use this part of the power to unite the surrounding areas of the Valley. Small and medium-sized settlements.

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

By then, 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 money, and those who have no money will contribute efforts. In this way, not only will the huge war expenditures be met, but a technological ally will be added to the alliance's tank.

In order to maximize the effectiveness of the "joint machining center" on the B7 floor, the academy's technology 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.

Standing here are not only representatives from colleges and companies, but also many other people who have even Chu Guang heard of this settlement 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 envoy 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 who came to the alliance's small and medium-sized survivor settlements for the first time. They entered the banquet hall with a "temporary identity card".

The alliance is very relaxed about the identity verification of those who attend the banquet. Players who have obtained meritorious service in the expansion pack can enter, old friends who have established the alliance can enter, and those who are visiting the alliance's settlement 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 envoys 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 is a guest. Anyway, he doesn't miss this meal. It would not be a bad idea to exchange a meal for a gift for the museum.

Besides, this is a wasteland.

Although the Alliance has established order within a limited scope, most places are in a state of barbarism. Yesterday there was a settlement, and it is hard to say whether it will be there tomorrow. And if there is no settlement today, there might be one tomorrow.

Therefore, Chu Guang specifically told the alliance's foreign affairs department that if they encounter someone claiming to be from a certain settlement, regardless of whether they have heard of it or not, just assume it is true.

However, it must be admitted that the true establishment of the alliance is at least a survivor force that has sufficient trade exchanges 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 a relationship with the alliance, no one can confirm whether their identity is true or false, so they can only temporarily issue him a temporary identity card. Not a slight.

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 some random names and come in to eat and drink. You're assuming 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 Odoka's instructions, he suppressed his temper and stretched out his right hand calmly.

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

Seeing that this guy looked drunk and didn't look like a serious person, Noreg couldn't help but look with a bit of contempt in his eyes.

Speaking of eating and drinking, is there anyone who is more like eating and drinking 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, as if he had touched something dirty, and withdrew his hand as fast as lightning.

He is the foreign minister appointed by Otto, and 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 really joking, and he just came in to eat and drink.

It happened that at this moment, Noleg saw Chu Guang coming to the door of the banquet hall, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately made a fake smile and greeted him.

"Hello, Mr. Administrator, this is the first time we meet. 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 have heard of the prosperity of the Free State and the commercial miracle of the Northern Corridor. We welcome all law-abiding merchants and travelers to visit us."

Although Chu Guang just said something casually, this sentence had a different meaning in Norege's ears.

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

However, thinking of the Great Rift Valley's instructions and Otto's instructions, Noreg suppressed his emotions and squeezed out an awkward and impolite smile on his face.

"Of course... we 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?

Seeing the alliance manager taking the wine glass with a smile and having a drink with the guy, Noreg was dumbfounded...
