This Game Is Too Realistic

Chapter 106.1: Devil Moth’s Lair

"Why did you pick such a weird name?"

"Is it weird?"

"No. Greenhouse Farm… Maybe because it sounds too serious. That’s why it’s a bit odd."

"Huh! Can you blame me for this? I remembered that I forgot to give a cool name only after I submitted the application form."

"By the way, what did you plan to call it originally?"

"QQ Farm."

"Pfft..."

Makka Pakka found Sideline Slacking, the player he contacted on the forum in the game, before rushing towards the east gate. Two little players dressed in large animal fur coats, waddled out of the outpost with weapons in hand.

Although Chu Guang was curious about why they went to the east gate instead of the west gate, and why they carried wooden bows and javelins instead of hoes and axes, after thinking about it, he decided to ignore them.

As evening fell, Chu Guang was too lazy to cook. He went to the North Gate and found that Yaya had stewed a pot of venison and mushroom soup, so he placed a silver coin on the table.

"Two bowls please."

"Okay!" Yaya, who took the bowls, eagerly spooned two large bowls of broth with a sweet smile on her face and gave them to Chu Guang.

"Be careful, it’s hot."

The players holding the bowls next to the stall saw the way she spoke and instantly felt that the meat in their bowls became less fragrant. All of them complained loudly.

"Boss Yaya, that’s not fair!"

"Yes! You were not gentle at all when you gave the soup to me!"

"Administrator has a big chunk of leg meat in his bowl! I saw it!"

"Yes, yes. Why did we only get a small piece of meat in our soup!?"

"Yeah! And you even gave us meat from the butt…”

"You should treat all customers the same way! My wife said it!"

Yaya blushed and explained hurriedly. "What butt meat! Am… Am I that kind of person?"

Besides, what’s wrong with giving NPCs special treatment? I dare you all to say that you never gave NPCs special treatment before. Humph! You all never even stopped calling him your dear administrator, and you have the audacity to complain about me?

Hmph! Anyway, I’ve triggered a hidden mission before!

"I don’t care, give me another bowl to make up for my misery!"

"Eat my ass!"

Chu Guang smiled like an old father, leaving the noisy little players alone. He turned around and passed through the north gate to go to Xia Yan’s Weapon Shop.

After several renovations and alterations, the current Weapon Shop has completely changed.

The original mud wall was replaced by a regular red brick wall, with a layer of plaster inside and outside of the shop, and a layer of wooden floor on the ground.

If it were the old crudely made hut, it would have long been crushed by the snow.

It could be seen that the players loved Xia Yan more than he did. Because of the hand-drawn CG pictures of her on the forum, she was about to become a mascot on the official website.

No… It should be said that she was already a mascot.

When Chu Guang walked into the shop, Xia Yan was asleep on the table with a pile of newly made bullets in the wooden basket next to her.

Now the players were playing happily at the north gate, but no one was there to disturb her.

Chu Guang did not wake her up, but gently placed the bowl next to her.

Then he found a chair in the room, sat down by the brazier, and added a chunk of wood to it. While warming up by the fire, he drank the tender and delicious bowl of venison and mushroom soup.

The wood crackled from time to time, sending out sparks from the brazier.

The aroma of the broth gradually filled the room.

Xia Yan’s nose buried in her arms twitched lightly, and then she slowly woke up, looking around sleepily. When she saw Chu Guang sitting in the room, she was instantly awake.

Looking at Xia Yan who woke up, Chu Guang said casually, "You have really been slacking off a lot lately."

She actually didn’t notice that someone was sitting behind her, and she only noticed it after she smelled the fragrant smell of meat. If she was still a mercenary, she might not even survive for two days with her current level of vigilance.

Being caught red-handed slacking off at work, Xia Yan looked embarrassed. Like a kid who did something wrong, she buried her head and didn’t dare to look at Chu Guang, "I, I only slept for a while after I finished it. I wasn’t slacking off... When did you come in."

"I came just now," Chu Guang chuckled and teased the nervous looking Xia Yan, "Do you need to be so nervous?"

Xia Yan hesitated for a long time without speaking.

Chu Guang thought for a while, then spoke, "Starting from tomorrow, I will pay you every day… Mhm, I’ll pay you ten silver coins per day. This month’s wages will be settled daily, and starting next month, you’ll be paid by the month. Every month I will give you an indicator, mainly about the production of ammunition and weapons. You can treat it as your task to be completed. After completing the task, you can get a bonus of 10%~30% of your monthly salary. In addition, your bonus will also be related to the profit of the Weapon Shop."

Xia Yan asked quickly. "What if I can’t complete it?"

Chu Guang shrugged. "It’s fine. Anyway, there are thirty revolver rifles in stock, and more than four thousand rounds of ammunition, which is enough for the time being."

The Bloodhand Clan had been destroyed, and now, the only threat in the area was the mutant humans on 76th Street. But they seemed to have their own problems to face, and they haven’t set their sights on the Linghu Wetland Park for the time being.

The early cold winter was both a risk and an opportunity.

This natural barrier would buy a period of precious development time for the residents of Shelter 404. Food, fuel, and building materials were the keys. In contrast, the demand for weapons was not so urgent.

Xia Yan said in a low voice while taking a peek at Chu Guang. "... Actually, there are only fourteen left, sixteen of them were sold some time ago, and there are around two thousand rounds of ammunition."

Chu Guang said unconcernedly. "It’s okay, there are still a lot of things taken from marauders in the inventory. It is enough for my people to play for some time..."

"Why are you so good suddenly… You actually want to pay me a salary?" Xia Yan asked in a low voice.

In Boulder Town, only when the big people needed their men to die would they suddenly start showing kindness.

Although the possibility of finding a buyer in winter was small, Xia Yan was still a little scared. After all, the man had left a deep impression in her mind.

"Because I think it’s almost time," Chu Guang thought for a while and said, "You’re not the only one. Including Luca, people who work for me will get paid. It might not be a lot at the moment, but you don’t need to think of it as a reward. This is the part that you deserve after making your contributions to the shelter."

Simply put, Chu Guang needed to stimulate consumption.

It was difficult for players to consume the things they produced by themselves. Letting NPCs purchase what players made could appropriately promote their production level.

Xia Yan nodded, seemingly understanding what Chu Guang said.

She actually wanted to say that if he really wanted to pay her, he could use those white plastic chips. She didn’t need a lot, just one chip a day would do.

But she was scared of Chu Guang, so she could only comfort herself by mumbling to herself about how silver coins were also great.

Can’t they exchange two chips for one silver coin? That will mean that my daily salary will be twenty chips… My monthly salary will be six hundred chips!

In Boulder Town, an assault rifle is only one hundred and fifty chips, so my monthly income can buy four guns. I will be a proper middle-class citizen!

"Hehehe…" In her pretty daydream, Xia Yan actually began to giggle foolishly...
