This Game Is Too Realistic

chapter-145-1
"I swear... this is the best noodles I’ve ever eaten since I left home!"
"It’s so delicious!! Is this really made from our noodles??"
"It’s a flavor that the seasoning package doesn’t have! Incredible, how did they do it?"
"What exactly did they put in the soup? Damn it, why is the soup so delicious… I want to eat another bowl!
"Ow, ow, ow, so hot...""What are you doing?"
"Joining the line."
"What about our job?"
"No hurry, let me get another bowl, hehe."
A group of NPCs in gray coats squatted beside the camp, slurping on the noodles. Their extremely funny look made the players next to them dumbfounded.
"Is it that delicious?"
"It seems... okay?""After all, it’s the craft of Tomato Eggs. So it’s expected!"
"It’s delicious… It made me think of Boss Yaya’s roasted mushrooms."
Seeing NPCs enjoying the food so much, the players felt that the noodles in their hands were even more delicious.
Luca counted the money with joy. They managed to earn 80CR in total.
Selling 20 sets of meals not only solved the players’ meals, but also made a small profit. There were two more people in line not far away, maybe he could earn 100CR at the end of the morning.
If he let his master know, his master would surely be very happy!
He couldn’t wait to tell the administrator the good news!
At this time, Lu Yang who was wearing an exoframe, and Division Chief Li De from the logistics department, just happened to step out of the elevator of the Pioneer.
Seeing the crew members squatting at the entrance of the blue coats’ camp while slurping noodles, both of them were stunned.
Lu Yang walked over and asked, "What are you eating?"
The marine who was squatting on the ground immediately stood up, holding a bowl in his right hand, and reported, "Captain, we’re eating noodles!"
"What kind of noodles is this?"
"I don’t know, but it’s really delicious! I suggest you try it too, it only costs 4CR, it’s very cheap, and you’ll get a lot of it."
4CR a bowl?
Lu Yang’s face was full of confusion, but Li De, who was standing beside him, realized something and his brows twitched fiercely.
But he didn’t say anything.
It wouldn’t hurt to allow them to do a little business in his place, and he would not be so stingy as to limit where those employees could spend their money.
As long as they still remembered to do their tasks.
But then again, what happened to those guys... I don’t usually see them willing to go out to work, but today they all went to the elevator to line up.
Li De glared at several old acquaintances in the logistics department who were squatting on the ground and left without saying a word.
…
About 9:00 in the morning, a blizzard suddenly struck the outpost.
The north wind was blowing so hard that it almost knocked the roof off of the granary.
Fortunately, Chu Guang managed to borrow a bottle of foam spray from Luo Hua and reinforced the roof of the granary, ultimately saving the crumbling granary.
Looking at Chu Guang who was covered in snow coming in from outside of the barracks, Luo Hua helplessly and sympathetically said, "To be honest... the conditions here are too rudimentary. Do you not have any production tools in your shelter?"
Chu Guang patted off the snow on his body, and put the bottle of foam spray on the shelf. He walked to the door of the barracks and said indifferently, "Probably they ran out of the budget after building the shelter… By the way, are you feeling better now?"
"Much better... Did I say something strange last night?" Luo Hua said nervously.
He knew he had a very loose lip. He couldn’t even keep it shut normally, let alone when he was drunk.
Of course, Chu Guang wouldn’t tell him that he had noted down more than 200 key points on his VM, so he casually made up a story.
"No, you just told me the story of you and your android partner back home…"
"Okay, please don’t talk about it anymore." Luo Hua hurriedly stopped Chu Guang from continuing and took a quick glance at Ace next to him nervously.
Seeing that she didn’t seem to have heard it, he breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how big the Pioneer looked from outside, the social circle within it was still very small. He didn’t want his personal affairs to be passed around in this small social circle and cause him to be the laughing stock of his colleagues.
Huh?
Chu Guang glanced at him unexpectedly.
He really has one?
Chu Guang, who hadn’t paid much attention to it at first, suddenly became a little curious.
The next second, Ace looked up and said, "Captain will be here in a while. When I contacted him just now, I told him that you drank alcohol while on duty last night. So you’d better think about how to explain your actions."
"What do you mean that I drank alcohol while on duty last night? I was socializing with our new partner!" Luo Hua argued, using the excuses that Chu Guang taught him last night.
Ace was dazed for a moment, and then after calming down, she expressionlessly said, "You can explain that to the Captain."
Luo Hua immediately closed his mouth and stopped talking like a deflated balloon.
Chu Guang patted his shoulder comfortingly and gave him a friendly smile. "Don’t worry, my friend, I will explain it in your stead!"
Luo Hua looked over with a grateful expression. "Thank you, you are such a good person!"
Chu Guang said with a smile, "You’re welcome, after all, you’ve helped me a lot... Ahem, I mean, I’ll have to trouble you a lot in the future."
It’s great to work with such a simple-minded young man.
Luo Hua didn’t notice it at all, and said with a smile, "Don’t say that. This is my job! If there is anything you need in the future, as long as I can help, please feel free to find me!"
"Definitely!"
Ace raised an eyebrow at their conversation. "..."
...
This blizzard lasted for about an hour, and it didn’t stop until 10:30 in the morning. Eventually. a group of people arrived at the north gate of the wetland park.
Wearing an exoframe, Lu Yang walked to the north gate of the outpost with four marines, followed by a four-legged mechanical dog with a large box on its back.
Their group seemed different from when they last arrived.
In addition to the set of exoframes that Captain Lu himself wore, among the four marines he brought, only two wore exoframes and held powerful Gauss rifles.
As for the other two, they were wearing lightweight mechanical exoskeletons. One held a small and lightweight assault rifle, the other held a light machine gun.
In addition to the supplies on the mechanical dog, they all carried large and heavy backpacks behind them; it seemed that they were ready for a long journey.
After Chu Guang gave out the mission through the VM, he brought four players with iron-barreled rifles to greet them.
Looking at Chu Guang approaching, Lu Yang said with a smile, "...We met two mutant brown bears on the way here, and it delayed us a little."
"You are really lucky to be able to run into two at the same time."
Where the hell are the bears then?! Don’t these people recycle their prey?
Chu Guang glanced at these people but did not see any traces of the creatures.
Thinking of this, he reached out and clicked on the VM a few times. He sent a message to Little Seven, asking it to help him edit the mission to send two perception type players to follow this group’s footsteps north to see if they could find the corpses of the mutant brown bears.
Mutated brown bears could weigh more than 1,000 kilograms. In Chu Guang’s eyes, they were food!
There was a blizzard earlier and if he was lucky, his players should be able to find them.
"Maybe." Lu Yang smiled heartily, looked at Chu Guang who was fully armed and asked, "It looks like you are ready?"
Chu Guang said with a faint smile, "We can move out at any time."
Lu Yang grinned. "So can we! Please lead the way!"
Chu Guang nodded and gestured towards the four players behind him who couldn’t wait to start the mission. "Let’s go!"
...
The players had never been to the edge of the fifth ring before. Chu Guang had been there a few times, but it was back in autumn. Now that there was snow covering the ground, it was entirely a different situation.
But that was okay, Baker Street had a lot of scavengers who lived off the resources on the fifth ring.
Chu Guang took them to Baker Street and found Yu Xiong, the captain of the guards. He planned to borrow someone to help them.
After listening to Chu Guang’s words, Yu Xiong said immediately, "There was a big blizzard earlier, so that brat, Yu Hu, just happened to be at home. I’ll get him to help you, he’s familiar with the fifth ring."
"No need. We just need a guide. In this horrible weather, it’s better to let him stay at home. It’s not safe around the fifth ring after all."
Yu Xiong said with a smile, "Okay, if you need anything, just tell me. I will definitely get it done for you!"
After saying goodbye to Yu Xiong, Chu Guang brought the young man he borrowed from the guards with him. When walking outside the town, he casually asked, "What’s your name?"
The young man had obviously seen him when he stepped into the castle. He replied respectfully with a look of awe, "Zhao Sheep, sir."
What an interesting name.
"Who is Zhao Rat to you?"
Zhao Sheep was dazed for a moment, and hurriedly said, "He’s my younger brother!"
Chu Guang nodded, ending the casual topic and started talking about business.
"Your job is to be our guide for a while. Do it well and I’ll give you 5 silver coins when it’s done."
NPCs were paid much less than players. Guards on Baker Street earned only 60 silver coins a month, or 2 silver coins a day.
Hearing that he would get 5 silver coins just to lead them to the fifth ring, Zhao Sheep was immediately excited, and hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Don’t worry, sir, I will definitely do it well!"
Chu Guang smiled. "Then I’ll be looking forward to your performance."
Returning to Captain Lu Yang and his group, looking at the three exoframes and the two shiny exoskeletons, Zhao Sheep was so shocked that he was at a loss for words.
Of course he didn’t know what the Pioneer was, nor did he know what the Enterprise was. He only knew that his neighbors in the wetland park actually had exoframes!
In addition to the shock in his heart, he couldn’t help sighing.
It seems that the old town mayor’s defeat is justified.
With this kind of equipment, let alone the Bloodhand Clan, the entire northern suburbs of Clearspring City may not be their opponent.
I have to share this big news with everyone later!
With the help of the guide, the group entered the fifth ring smoothly and did not waste too much time on crossing the ruins.
The towering skyscrapers were like tombstones. They were so tall that it was impossible to count the number of floors at a glance. The streets were full of maglev car wreckage and construction waste, while the cracked roads revealed buried pipelines and maglev roadbeds. The east-west streets had even turned into forests, and the ground shadowed by the trees were covered with vegetation and moss... Well, everything was covered with ice and snow at that moment.
The four players looked at everything in front of them with shocked expressions on their faces.
