It was not until dark that Zhao Yongxu finally had the opportunity to talk to Chu Guang.
Dawn City Hall.
In the conference room, a group of people sat upright in front of the conference table.
Looking at the alliance manager sitting opposite the conference table, Zhao Yongxu thought the negotiation would be quite difficult, but the actual situation was beyond his expectations.
Even he himself did not expect that he would reach a consensus with the alliance so quickly.
...The five major groups of the company plan to set up offices in Shuguang City. We plan to plan an embassy street in the east district of Shuguang City. If you are interested, we can plan a 15X15 land for you as the boundary of the embassy and consulate.
Hearing the proposal thrown by the opposite side, several messengers of the Rock City were obviously surprised in their eyes.
What are the five major groups of the company planning to set up offices here?
When did they agree?... An officer from a militia regiment muttered in a low voice, expressing the confusion in many people's hearts.
It was obviously they came first!
Two nobles from the inner city looked at each other and whispered in a low voice, probably exchanging opinions.
The expression on Zhao Yongxu's face did not change.
To be honest, he felt that 225 square meters was a little small, but it was not unacceptable.
Anyway, he is not living.
Moreover, it is only beneficial but not harmful to the Stone City to place the embassy next to the corporate office.
Clearing his throat, he made a thoughtful expression on his face, and nodded after a while.
I think it can... Also, I want to talk about
Regarding the Heart of Steel, we will not enter your airspace, but we reserve the right to free navigation within our own airspace.
Looking at Captain Zhao sitting opposite him, Chu Guang continued in an unyielding tone.
The residents of Giant Rock City need a sense of security, and the residents of Dawn City also need it. The alliance will not become a vassal of anyone, and equality is the prerequisite for our dialogue.
Zhao Yongxu's brow twitched, and he took a deep breath and said.
At least, you must limit the use of 400mm cannons in the city center.
Even he himself didn't notice that he had unconsciously used the wording of solicitation.
Chu Guang thought for a moment after tapping his index finger on the table.
Yes, except during the tide.
The production cost of a 400mm chambered rocket is as high as 100 100mm shells, and he has no intention of wasting ammunition.
In fact, even in the face of the wave, the 400mm main gun is definitely not an economical choice.
In complex urban terrain, the power of large-caliber artillery will be significantly affected by marginal effects. Even if a deep pit is blown out on the street, the street facing a building may not be affected.
And creatures like slime mushrooms, like the skeleton soldiers of the undead race, have no morale concept like players, and the psychological deterrence effect brought by large-caliber heavy artillery is completely useless.
Annual wave.
Instead of using it for trial shots, it is better to leave it to players as server activities to practice.
...Okay, exceptions during the tide, after all, alien species are our common enemy.
After reluctantly making concessions, Zhao Yongxu finally talked about this sensitive issue and felt his shoulders relaxed.
A consensus was also reached on the second issue.
The most serious issue in this issue was actually faster than he thought.
And just when he was planning to raise the last issue brought by the alliance this time, Chu Guang directly said what he was thinking about.
Also, about our future relationship.
A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, and Zhao Yongxu unconsciously sat upright.
Chu Guang paused for a moment and continued.
To enhance our trust between each other and to eliminate suspicion between neighbors, we intend to hold a joint survivor meeting on the last day of December each year.
That day happened to be on the eve of New Year's Day, so you can arrange it with the New League's New Year's Eve party.
This was decided by Chu Guang and other senior executives of the alliance after discussing.
I had never heard of such a thing at all. Zhao Yongxu was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.
What is that?
Chu Guang explained patiently.
It is a high-level summit covering politics, economy, culture, diplomacy, military and other fields.Simply put, let’s tell you what we plan to do next year.You can also tell us what you plan to do next year.If we just happen to think of going together, we will do it together.It doesn’t matter if there is no one. Everyone seeks common ground while reserving differences, and does their own things and will not affect each other.
This sounds interesting?
And if I don’t tell you what you are going to do, wouldn’t I be able to get the inside information of the alliance for free?
Zhao Yongxu touched his chin and felt clever.
He doesn't understand political matters very well, but from a military perspective, the value of intelligence is doubted by Mu Yong.
Although he couldn't make a decision, he believed that the city lord should accept the proposal happily.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yongxu nodded generously and said with a smile.
This is a good idea!I will convey it to the city lord.
Chu Guang smiled faintly.
He could roughly guess what this guy was thinking, but he didn't care much.
Is there anything else?
have……
Zhao Yongxu opened his mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly realized that there seemed to be nothing to say.
There are only three problems I have brought about in total.
The embassy issue has been agreed upon.
Security issues, the alliance promises not to use 400mm artillery in the city unless necessary.
Although this is a quarrel, it is not realistic to expect them to make further concessions.Even if I support myself who is tough on the league, I can't think of a better negotiation result.
Regarding long-term relationship issues, the two sides have established a long-term communication mechanism.The plan proposed by this manager was obviously better than the opinions he brought from Dulom.
Zhao Yongxu suddenly felt a little confused.
I seemed to be seen through.
Is this guy good at reading minds?
Zhao Yongxu changed his mouth and said.
...It's gone.
It seems we have reached a consensus.
Chu Guang nodded, closed the notes that had not been written in his hand, and then looked at the waiter standing aside.
The waiter understood and went forward to send a letter to the six people sitting opposite the conference table.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Zhao Yongxu frowned.
This is?
Banquet invitation.
banquet?
Looking at Zhao Yongxu with a confused expression, Chu Guang smiled faintly and said.
This is the custom of our shelter. No matter what the result of the conversation is, guests cannot be allowed to walk on an empty stomach.There is a dinner at the League Banquet Hall at 6 o'clock tonight. If you are not in a hurry, you might as well have a meal before going back.
Several messengers sitting at the conference table exchanged unexpected gazes and whispered a few words.
Especially those nobles from the inner city, this is a novel experience for them.
banquet?Will survivors in the northern suburbs actually hold banquets?
What's so strange about this, but I'm curious about what they'll take out at the banquet.
Grilled lizard tail?
Oh……
Banquets are not rare in the Stone City. The boring nobles often pass the time with banquets. The name of the banquet can be birthdays, a rare and expensive collection, or even a bottle of red wine.
However, the banquet held by the official, and the banquet in the name of diplomacy, was a novel experience for them.
After all, until a few months ago, they didn't even have a formal foreign affairs department, and all matters about the outside world were thrown to the city hall in the outer city to handle.
Zhao Yongxu didn't care what to eat for a while, and in comparison, he was more concerned about another thing.
Will the company's representatives also participate?He asked seriously.
Of course, this was originally prepared for them. Chu Guang paused, feeling that it seemed a bit uneasy enough to say so bluntly, so he naturally added a sentence later. If you tell us in advance, we will also prepare for you.
However, Captain Zhao, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to be completely unwilling to care about such trivial matters.
The eyes were flashing with bright light, and there was no hesitation for half a second, he said immediately.
We will attend!
Not just him.
Including the two officers sitting next to them and three nobles from the inner city, their eyes were full of fiery spirit.
Looking at the expressions on their faces, Chu Guangbujin fell into deep thought.
It seems that I have underestimated the North African local rich people’s yearning for Paris.
A mistake.
I knew it would be charged.
……
The league's banquet hall is located in the center of the main urban area of Shuguang City, the central area of the former Changjiu Farm, and is only separated from the city hall and the player's save point.
The boxy building is completely poured from concrete. Although it looks like marble, it is actually just a layer of milky white plaster on the outside.
The five-meter-high arch can be accessed even with the death claws, and the gear badges hung on the door are part of the Union flag and are also the most awarded medals by the Union Army.
The simple and atmospheric aesthetic is similar to the Alliance's weapons, but the decoration of the building is unique and not as vague as the LD-47's receiver.
The bricklayer's tiles reflect the magnificent chandeliers on the dome, and several marble sculptures are placed in the corners.
These decorations are all drawn from the wasteland and are repolished and waxing to look like new.
If the spacious main banquet hall is full of long tables, it can accommodate thousands of people to eat at the same time.
The building started almost simultaneously with the Union's Town Hall, but was only recently completed and was only used once last night.
The banquet arrangement prepared for the Triumph Celebration has not been cancelled yet.
After receiving the news of the banquet, the staff of the concierge department responsible for the banquet immediately summoned people to bring in 12 round tables, and removed most of the long tables for group dining, leaving only two rows of wine, desserts and cold dishes against the wall for placing self-service buffets.
The orchestra that had just attended the celebration last night was invited back and played the repertoire that they had performed last night again.
Sitting at the round table.
A big belly nobleman looked at the menu in his hand and touched the back of his head with an unexpected look on his face.
These blue jackets are very particular.
He originally thought that the food of these rural blokes in the northern suburbs was as shabby as the fly restaurant in the outer city of Giant Rock City, but he did not expect it to be completely beyond his expectations.
The dinner content is varied.
Cold dishes include white-cut chicken, thin-cut double-headed beef, garlic shredded cucumber, etc.
The hot dishes include squirrel carp, braised lion head, roast duck...
More than a dozen creative dishes are even more curious, such as salt-grilled lantern fish, braised warship shrimp, cracked claw crab meat patties, buttery horn potato mash, monster meat steak, etc.
The variety is dazzling.
In addition, there are just baked desserts, mushroom clouds sprinkled with chopped chocolate, small cakes with creamy aromas, and biscuits that look ordinary but have mystery in it...
Sid, who was standing by the long table on one side of the hall, widened his eyes in surprise.
What surprised him was not these dishes, but the bottle of red wine on the table.
At this time, a strange voice came from the side.
Judging from the gold stamping on the bottle, this bottle of red wine should be produced in Gloway Winery on the Barron Peninsula, and its price is at least three times the weight of gold.The red wine and dairy products on the West Coast are as famous as the slaves there, and rarely cross the desert to the east of the mainland... I guess it should be General McClan's collection.
Sid looked sideways and saw a slightly familiar man standing next to him, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
Sid asked, lifting his eyebrows.
Who are you?
Lister, chairman of Lister Trading Company, this is my business card.Liszt introduced himself calmly and handed out the business card in his hand.
After accepting the business card, Sid glanced at it and a trace of surprise immediately appeared in his eyes.
He seemed to have heard of this name. It is said that it was a businessman at first, but later he made a fortune by doing business with the alliance and became a noble.
It is not difficult to change the status of a noble in the inner city of Giant Rock City. You only need to pay enough chips to buy a room in the inner building and add your name to the resident list.
However, gaining the status of a noble does not mean that you can integrate into their circle.
These new nobles who spent money were different from those of the old nobles, and they could not contact the core of power of Giant Rock City.
What's more, judging from this guy's appearance, I probably haven't lived in the inner city building for a few days.
In contrast, he cared more about the real aristocrats from the business.
But what is depressing is that those people are sitting at a round table with the administrators of the alliance and are busy showing off their meals, and have no intention of getting up from the chair at all.
His legs were almost numb when he stood here, and he didn't wait for the opportunity to talk to those people alone.
Is it that delicious?
Sid couldn't help frowning after he glanced at the round table in the distance.
He was so interested in food from country people.
For a moment, he felt a little disillusioned in his imagination of ideal city.
It seems that's just that...
Reading the disapproval of the person in front of him, Liszt just smiled but said nothing.
As a businessman, he doesn't care how these idiots with noses up to the sky think of him.
Anyway, everyone sees that they are similar.
The five major groups of the company have sent representatives here. It seems that something big is about to happen in the River Valley Province.
uh-huh.
Sid snorted through his nose.
Is it necessary to mention this kind of thing that even the scavengers can see?
Lister paused and continued.
What I just heard is that the company plans to invest in a factory here.
Invest in a factory?Sid looked at him unexpectedly, smiled faintly, and then pulled the produced products to the ideal city 3,000 kilometers away?What's not there?
Liszt said patiently.
There are many forms of interests, and there are many means to achieve goals. I cannot guess what agreements have been reached by the manager and the distant ideal city, but the company has been doing so much, obviously not here to do charity.
oh?
Sid's eyes flashed slightly, and although he was still disapproving, he had obviously become interested.
Liszt continued while the iron was hot.
The expedition to Luoxia Province is almost a foregone conclusion. Only by removing the outposts of the Legion east of the Great Desert can all the problems be eradicated once and for all.After that, in order to prevent the legion from reviving, the company will definitely join forces to send garrisons to the desert to consolidate the fruits of victory.
...I heard that those artificial oasis surrounded by the forbidden zone of life are like small islands on the ocean, where milk and honey flow in the soil, and there is no alien harassment.
A clear interest finally emerged in Sid's eyes, and he no longer concealed the heartbeat in his expression.
Can you talk about it?
Of course, looking at his anxious look, Liszt smiled and patted the old nobleman on the arm and said softly, ... I just heard these stories. If you are interested, we can have a good chat.
Just as Liszt was painting the big cakes that Chu Guang painted for him and pulled Sid towards the table of the envoys of the Stone City, on the round table of the enterprise not far away, the people sitting around the table were voraciously stuffing delicious food into their mouths.
Wu Mu widened his eyes and used a fork to tick the garlic-scattered eggs on the dining plate, saying in awe.
What kind of animal lays this egg?
It tastes the same as jelly!
As a senior salesperson of Changge Group, Wu Mu has been to many places and has tasted many strange foods.
However, this is the first time I have seen this special food.
Chu Guang, who was sitting aside, smiled and said.
In fact, this is an ordinary duck egg, but it has been processed through special processes, and we call it...a peeled egg.
Li Changkong touched his chin thoughtfully, inserted a piece with a fork and sniffed it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Such a special taste is actually duck eggs... It’s convenient to reveal what the processing technology is?
Chu Guang's expression was a little subtle.
There is nothing to keep in secret in the formula.
That is to say, I am afraid that it will affect everyone's appetite.
I don't know much about this.
The representative of the Ideal Group nodded, without asking, and continued to taste the food from another plate.
Yi Chuan, who was sitting on Chu Guang's right, said with emotion while wiping his hands with a tissue.
...I finally understand why that guy Li De mentioned the food here in his application.
He had just filled a plate of braised warship shrimps with oil, and only a pile of shrimp shells were left on the plate.
incredible!
These ugly alien species can be cooked so deliciously by these people.
Before leaving, he was worried that it might cause gastrointestinal discomfort when he couldn't eat the food here, so he specially brought two boxes of freeze-dried food and two boxes of stomach medicine.
Now it seems that at least the previous concern can be dispelled.
Yunyou, who was sitting at the other end of the round table, was not speaking, and was delivering biscuits into his mouth piece after piece, his eyes full of surprise and surprise.
I don’t know what I tasted that glowing expression.
He asked the waiter to help change the plate. While waiting for the dishes to be served, Yi Chuan looked at Chu Guang and asked: By the way, do you eat so well every day?
Of course not. We only take out these things when we entertain distinguished guests.However, the ingredients of these foods are not expensive, and can be seen in many restaurants.
After pausing for a moment, Chu Guang said with a smile.
If you are interested in our daily diet, you might as well go to the North Street of Shuguang City, where there are many special snacks.
Wu Mu interrupted excitedly.
I know!They are called buns and dumplings, right?
That was one of our breakfasts.
Chu Guang nodded with a smile, suddenly thought of something, and asked.
Speaking of which, what about the two people from Kangmao Group?
Since he didn't know whether the two gentlemen or ladies should be called, he simply omitted the title.
When Yi Chuan heard Chu Guang ask about the two of them, his expression became a little subtle.
They... don't actually worry about them. Their code does not contain malicious elements, they are just overly enthusiastic.
Wu Mu, who was standing beside him, also said with a hearty smile.
That's right, don't care about the two bionics. Their core code has not been recorded in violation so far, so you can be completely relieved.
That white and neat mouthful of teeth made Chu Guang think of the advertisement for a certain toothpaste.
In this way, I'll feel at ease.
Chu Guang nodded with a smile, gently stroked his index finger on the VM screen twice, and quietly signaled Xiaoqi to stare at the two of them.
This is not out of distrust of allies.
Just in case.
There are not no bionic activities in the alliance, such as Brown's daughter and wife, and Tianqin at Shelter No. 101.
However, these bionic people have one common characteristic, that is, they are not very aware of autonomy and will not actively participate in human social activities.
Unless it is an order from the owner.
The expression on Yi Chuan's face made Chu Guang care a little, and he couldn't help but wonder what the two of them were going to do.
And just as he was curious, the frost and solar eclipse in his silver cloak were walking on the busiest North Street in Shuguang City at this moment.
It was the hot summer, and the conservative outfits of the two were a little special, and the people around them frequently cast curious eyes on them.
Hanshuang was also observing the passing pedestrians and maintaining silent communication with the solar eclipse walking beside him in the communication channel.
Look at Ah, these poor humans, their clothes are like dust falling on the chassis, and their health is like flashing alarm lights... Solar eclipse, which is an opportunity for us. We will let them live a wealthy life where they can eat and open their mouths and clothes without reaching out.
There was no change on the expressionless face, but the electrons leaping on the chip were jumping with excitement.
The pupils of the eclipse flashed slightly, and they replied after thinking for half a second.
The idea is correct, but we do not master the means of production and do not have production functions... What should we do?
Frost: First, we need to win this war and control the artificial oasis located in the desert so that we can get the food to feed them.
Solar Eclipse: There are omissions in the plan. According to existing information, the artificial oasis closest to us lives in nearly one million people, and the probability of food output surplus is low.
Hanshuang: Understand that the plan needs to be improved.
The two continued to exchange profound topics while observing the nearby streets.
The prosperity here is less than one ten thousandth of that of Ideal City, but it is precisely because of this that this place is more suitable for their plans than Ideal City.
As long as the people here become more satisfied with the ideal city with a shorter time and lower cost, they have sufficient arguments to prove that they are the optimal solutions of countless alternatives to reviving civilizations.
However……
There is another problem in this: satisfaction is an abstract concept, and the prosperity generated by this is even more difficult to define with fixed algorithms.
Therefore, the first thing to do before making a complete plan is observation.
At this moment, the two people walking on the bustling streets suddenly came towards the strange combination of three people and one bear.
Riding on the fleshy shoulders, the eyes of the tail lit up and saw them in the crowd at a glance.
oh!!It's an NPC I've never seen before!
Its skin is so cool.The ridden Frue said with surprise.
Han Shuang was a little confused and stopped and looked at the white bear in front of her.
Although I didn't understand what the bear said just now,
Why do bears speak?
Alas!?Isn’t it common sense that Bai Xiong can speak?
That surprised expression didn't seem to be pretending at all.
So much so that the solar eclipse standing next to him was stunned. For a moment, he even doubted whether there was any problem with the information in the intelligence database.
Looking at the confident tail, Han Shuang pondered for a moment and nodded.
So that's it... the white bear can talk, and it is common sense to travel to the valley province.
Strange knowledge.
However, it can also be used as a reference.
Let the meaty things beside it first. It seems that you are looking for something. Do you have any worries?Need Tail help?Tail looked at it with anticipation, his eyes flashed with the light of a mission expert.
Task!
Hide missions!!
Han Shuang stumbled for a while, unable to analyze the expressions on the human face in front of him, nor could he understand what the strange grammar wanted to express, so he could only try to ask.
Do you need help?
The tail shakes the head into a rattle.
NNN, you need help!You're welcome, just tell Tail!
Hanfrost: ?
Sis's expression became a little subtle.
Always feel...
This bionic man is not as smart as her Awei.
Could it be that the NPC code has not been completed yet?Sesame looked at Sis in confusion.
The conversation between the two was not on the same channel at all.
Sis thought for a moment and nodded.
Well, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
After all, it is the closed beta stage, and even if there are unreasonable aspects, it can be understood.
The NPC occasionally makes some confusing remarks. In this case, either they use the wrong syntax, or the other party's program is not compiled intact.
In most cases, these two problems will arise at the same time.
I don’t know what I talked to the bionic man, but a shy expression suddenly appeared on my tail’s face.
Then... can you please wear a maid outfit and give it to Ssconcon?
Seeing his good friend jumping repeatedly on the edge of "Player Manual", Sce knew that he could not continue to sit still.
Sighing, she dragged her tail back from the confused bionic man and said apologetically.
Sorry, my Awei has caused you trouble.
As he said that, regardless of how Tail protested, Sis and Sesame tacitly tied her to the bear's back.
Even though his face was buried by the furry bear fur, the protest could not be stopped.
Damn, why stop it
Harassing NPCs will be banned. Does Awei want to be imprisoned for such a thing like Mosquito?
After hearing this, the voice that was brave the previous second finally softened.
Woo...stingy.
I'll wear it for you.
！！！
Looking at the group walking away in a daze, a series of intermittent data streams flashed through Han Frost's pupils.
After a while, it pondered and lowered its head.
So that's it... Is the element of reviving civilization a maid outfit?
The eclipse slowly moved its eyes toward it.
...I think the confidence of information needs to be carefully considered before drawing a conclusion.
It makes sense that we should collect more samples instead of unilaterally accepting one of the parties…but this can be used as a clue.
The pupils flickered slightly, and Han Frost nodded, hidden deep on the circuit board in his chest, boiling with a dynamic current.
Solar eclipse, this is an opportunity for us.
The solar eclipse paused for many seconds and nodded slowly in a daze.
good……
Dawn City Hall.
In the conference room, a group of people sat upright in front of the conference table.
Looking at the alliance manager sitting opposite the conference table, Zhao Yongxu thought the negotiation would be quite difficult, but the actual situation was beyond his expectations.

Including the two officers sitting next to them and three nobles from the inner city, their eyes were full of fiery spirit.
Looking at the expressions on their faces, Chu Guangbujin fell into deep thought.
It seems that I have underestimated the North African local rich people’s yearning for Paris.
A mistake.
I knew it would be charged.
……
The league's banquet hall is located in the center of the main urban area of Shuguang City, the central area of the former Changjiu Farm, and is only separated from the city hall and the player's save point.
The boxy building is completely poured from concrete. Although it looks like marble, it is actually just a layer of milky white plaster on the outside.
The five-meter-high arch can be accessed even with the death claws, and the gear badges hung on the door are part of the Union flag and are also the most awarded medals by the Union Army.
The simple and atmospheric aesthetic is similar to the Alliance's weapons, but the decoration of the building is unique and not as vague as the LD-47's receiver.
The bricklayer's tiles reflect the magnificent chandeliers on the dome, and several marble sculptures are placed in the corners.
These decorations are all drawn from the wasteland and are repolished and waxing to look like new.
If the spacious main banquet hall is full of long tables, it can accommodate thousands of people to eat at the same time.
The building started almost simultaneously with the Union's Town Hall, but was only recently completed and was only used once last night.
The banquet arrangement prepared for the Triumph Celebration has not been cancelled yet.
After receiving the news of the banquet, the staff of the concierge department responsible for the banquet immediately summoned people to bring in 12 round tables, and removed most of the long tables for group dining, leaving only two rows of wine, desserts and cold dishes against the wall for placing self-service buffets.
The orchestra that had just attended the celebration last night was invited back and played the repertoire that they had performed last night again.
Sitting at the round table.
A big belly nobleman looked at the menu in his hand and touched the back of his head with an unexpected look on his face.
These blue jackets are very particular.
He originally thought that the food of these rural blokes in the northern suburbs was as shabby as the fly restaurant in the outer city of Giant Rock City, but he did not expect it to be completely beyond his expectations.
The dinner content is varied.
Cold dishes include white-cut chicken, thin-cut double-headed beef, garlic shredded cucumber, etc.
The hot dishes include squirrel carp, braised lion head, roast duck...
More than a dozen creative dishes are even more curious, such as salt-grilled lantern fish, braised warship shrimp, cracked claw crab meat patties, buttery horn potato mash, monster meat steak, etc.
The variety is dazzling.
In addition, there are just baked desserts, mushroom clouds sprinkled with chopped chocolate, small cakes with creamy aromas, and biscuits that look ordinary but have mystery in it...
Sid, who was standing by the long table on one side of the hall, widened his eyes in surprise.
What surprised him was not these dishes, but the bottle of red wine on the table.
At this time, a strange voice came from the side.
Judging from the gold stamping on the bottle, this bottle of red wine should be produced in Gloway Winery on the Barron Peninsula, and its price is at least three times the weight of gold.The red wine and dairy products on the West Coast are as famous as the slaves there, and rarely cross the desert to the east of the mainland... I guess it should be General McClan's collection.
Sid looked sideways and saw a slightly familiar man standing next to him, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
Sid asked, lifting his eyebrows.
Who are you?
Lister, chairman of Lister Trading Company, this is my business card.Liszt introduced himself calmly and handed out the business card in his hand.
After accepting the business card, Sid glanced at it and a trace of surprise immediately appeared in his eyes.
He seemed to have heard of this name. It is said that it was a businessman at first, but later he made a fortune by doing business with the alliance and became a noble.
It is not difficult to change the status of a noble in the inner city of Giant Rock City. You only need to pay enough chips to buy a room in the inner building and add your name to the resident list.
However, gaining the status of a noble does not mean that you can integrate into their circle.
These new nobles who spent money were different from those of the old nobles, and they could not contact the core of power of Giant Rock City.
What's more, judging from this guy's appearance, I probably haven't lived in the inner city building for a few days.
In contrast, he cared more about the real aristocrats from the business.
But what is depressing is that those people are sitting at a round table with the administrators of the alliance and are busy showing off their meals, and have no intention of getting up from the chair at all.
His legs were almost numb when he stood here, and he didn't wait for the opportunity to talk to those people alone.
Is it that delicious?
Sid couldn't help frowning after he glanced at the round table in the distance.
He was so interested in food from country people.
For a moment, he felt a little disillusioned in his imagination of ideal city.
It seems that's just that...
Reading the disapproval of the person in front of him, Liszt just smiled but said nothing.
As a businessman, he doesn't care how these idiots with noses up to the sky think of him.
Anyway, everyone sees that they are similar.
The five major groups of the company have sent representatives here. It seems that something big is about to happen in the River Valley Province.
uh-huh.
Sid snorted through his nose.
Is it necessary to mention this kind of thing that even the scavengers can see?
Lister paused and continued.
What I just heard is that the company plans to invest in a factory here.
Invest in a factory?Sid looked at him unexpectedly, smiled faintly, and then pulled the produced products to the ideal city 3,000 kilometers away?What's not there?
Liszt said patiently.
There are many forms of interests, and there are many means to achieve goals. I cannot guess what agreements have been reached by the manager and the distant ideal city, but the company has been doing so much, obviously not here to do charity.
oh?
Sid's eyes flashed slightly, and although he was still disapproving, he had obviously become interested.
Liszt continued while the iron was hot.
The expedition to Luoxia Province is almost a foregone conclusion. Only by removing the outposts of the Legion east of the Great Desert can all the problems be eradicated once and for all.After that, in order to prevent the legion from reviving, the company will definitely join forces to send garrisons to the desert to consolidate the fruits of victory.
...I heard that those artificial oasis surrounded by the forbidden zone of life are like small islands on the ocean, where milk and honey flow in the soil, and there is no alien harassment.
A clear interest finally emerged in Sid's eyes, and he no longer concealed the heartbeat in his expression.
Can you talk about it?
Of course, looking at his anxious look, Liszt smiled and patted the old nobleman on the arm and said softly, ... I just heard these stories. If you are interested, we can have a good chat.
Just as Liszt was painting the big cakes that Chu Guang painted for him and pulled Sid towards the table of the envoys of the Stone City, on the round table of the enterprise not far away, the people sitting around the table were voraciously stuffing delicious food into their mouths.
Wu Mu widened his eyes and used a fork to tick the garlic-scattered eggs on the dining plate, saying in awe.
What kind of animal lays this egg?
It tastes the same as jelly!
As a senior salesperson of Changge Group, Wu Mu has been to many places and has tasted many strange foods.
However, this is the first time I have seen this special food.
Chu Guang, who was sitting aside, smiled and said.
In fact, this is an ordinary duck egg, but it has been processed through special processes, and we call it...a peeled egg.
Li Changkong touched his chin thoughtfully, inserted a piece with a fork and sniffed it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Such a special taste is actually duck eggs... It’s convenient to reveal what the processing technology is?
Chu Guang's expression was a little subtle.
There is nothing to keep in secret in the formula.
That is to say, I am afraid that it will affect everyone's appetite.
I don't know much about this.
The representative of the Ideal Group nodded, without asking, and continued to taste the food from another plate.
Yi Chuan, who was sitting on Chu Guang's right, said with emotion while wiping his hands with a tissue.
...I finally understand why that guy Li De mentioned the food here in his application.
He had just filled a plate of braised warship shrimps with oil, and only a pile of shrimp shells were left on the plate.
incredible!
These ugly alien species can be cooked so deliciously by these people.
Before leaving, he was worried that it might cause gastrointestinal discomfort when he couldn't eat the food here, so he specially brought two boxes of freeze-dried food and two boxes of stomach medicine.
Now it seems that at least the previous concern can be dispelled.
Yunyou, who was sitting at the other end of the round table, was not speaking, and was delivering biscuits into his mouth piece after piece, his eyes full of surprise and surprise.
I don’t know what I tasted that glowing expression.
He asked the waiter to help change the plate. While waiting for the dishes to be served, Yi Chuan looked at Chu Guang and asked: By the way, do you eat so well every day?
Of course not. We only take out these things when we entertain distinguished guests.However, the ingredients of these foods are not expensive, and can be seen in many restaurants.
After pausing for a moment, Chu Guang said with a smile.
If you are interested in our daily diet, you might as well go to the North Street of Shuguang City, where there are many special snacks.
Wu Mu interrupted excitedly.
I know!They are called buns and dumplings, right?
That was one of our breakfasts.
Chu Guang nodded with a smile, suddenly thought of something, and asked.
Speaking of which, what about the two people from Kangmao Group?
Since he didn't know whether the two gentlemen or ladies should be called, he simply omitted the title.
When Yi Chuan heard Chu Guang ask about the two of them, his expression became a little subtle.
They... don't actually worry about them. Their code does not contain malicious elements, they are just overly enthusiastic.
Wu Mu, who was standing beside him, also said with a hearty smile.
That's right, don't care about the two bionics. Their core code has not been recorded in violation so far, so you can be completely relieved.
That white and neat mouthful of teeth made Chu Guang think of the advertisement for a certain toothpaste.
In this way, I'll feel at ease.
Chu Guang nodded with a smile, gently stroked his index finger on the VM screen twice, and quietly signaled Xiaoqi to stare at the two of them.
This is not out of distrust of allies.
Just in case.
There are not no bionic activities in the alliance, such as Brown's daughter and wife, and Tianqin at Shelter No. 101.
However, these bionic people have one common characteristic, that is, they are not very aware of autonomy and will not actively participate in human social activities.
Unless it is an order from the owner.
The expression on Yi Chuan's face made Chu Guang care a little, and he couldn't help but wonder what the two of them were going to do.
And just as he was curious, the frost and solar eclipse in his silver cloak were walking on the busiest North Street in Shuguang City at this moment.
It was the hot summer, and the conservative outfits of the two were a little special, and the people around them frequently cast curious eyes on them.
Hanshuang was also observing the passing pedestrians and maintaining silent communication with the solar eclipse walking beside him in the communication channel.
Look at Ah, these poor humans, their clothes are like dust falling on the chassis, and their health is like flashing alarm lights... Solar eclipse, which is an opportunity for us. We will let them live a wealthy life where they can eat and open their mouths and clothes without reaching out.
There was no change on the expressionless face, but the electrons leaping on the chip were jumping with excitement.
The pupils of the eclipse flashed slightly, and they replied after thinking for half a second.
The idea is correct, but we do not master the means of production and do not have production functions... What should we do?
Frost: First, we need to win this war and control the artificial oasis located in the desert so that we can get the food to feed them.
Solar Eclipse: There are omissions in the plan. According to existing information, the artificial oasis closest to us lives in nearly one million people, and the probability of food output surplus is low.
Hanshuang: Understand that the plan needs to be improved.
The two continued to exchange profound topics while observing the nearby streets.
The prosperity here is less than one ten thousandth of that of Ideal City, but it is precisely because of this that this place is more suitable for their plans than Ideal City.
As long as the people here become more satisfied with the ideal city with a shorter time and lower cost, they have sufficient arguments to prove that they are the optimal solutions of countless alternatives to reviving civilizations.
However……
There is another problem in this: satisfaction is an abstract concept, and the prosperity generated by this is even more difficult to define with fixed algorithms.
Therefore, the first thing to do before making a complete plan is observation.
At this moment, the two people walking on the bustling streets suddenly came towards the strange combination of three people and one bear.
Riding on the fleshy shoulders, the eyes of the tail lit up and saw them in the crowd at a glance.
oh!!It's an NPC I've never seen before!
Its skin is so cool.The ridden Frue said with surprise.
Han Shuang was a little confused and stopped and looked at the white bear in front of her.
Although I didn't understand what the bear said just now,
Why do bears speak?
Alas!?Isn’t it common sense that Bai Xiong can speak?
That surprised expression didn't seem to be pretending at all.
So much so that the solar eclipse standing next to him was stunned. For a moment, he even doubted whether there was any problem with the information in the intelligence database.
Looking at the confident tail, Han Shuang pondered for a moment and nodded.
So that's it... the white bear can talk, and it is common sense to travel to the valley province.
Strange knowledge.
However, it can also be used as a reference.
Let the meaty things beside it first. It seems that you are looking for something. Do you have any worries?Need Tail help?Tail looked at it with anticipation, his eyes flashed with the light of a mission expert.
Task!
Hide missions!!
Han Shuang stumbled for a while, unable to analyze the expressions on the human face in front of him, nor could he understand what the strange grammar wanted to express, so he could only try to ask.
Do you need help?
The tail shakes the head into a rattle.
NNN, you need help!You're welcome, just tell Tail!
Hanfrost: ?
Sis's expression became a little subtle.
Always feel...
This bionic man is not as smart as her Awei.
Could it be that the NPC code has not been completed yet?Sesame looked at Sis in confusion.
The conversation between the two was not on the same channel at all.
Sis thought for a moment and nodded.
Well, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
After all, it is the closed beta stage, and even if there are unreasonable aspects, it can be understood.
The NPC occasionally makes some confusing remarks. In this case, either they use the wrong syntax, or the other party's program is not compiled intact.
In most cases, these two problems will arise at the same time.
I don’t know what I talked to the bionic man, but a shy expression suddenly appeared on my tail’s face.
Then... can you please wear a maid outfit and give it to Ssconcon?
Seeing his good friend jumping repeatedly on the edge of "Player Manual", Sce knew that he could not continue to sit still.
Sighing, she dragged her tail back from the confused bionic man and said apologetically.
Sorry, my Awei has caused you trouble.
As he said that, regardless of how Tail protested, Sis and Sesame tacitly tied her to the bear's back.
Even though his face was buried by the furry bear fur, the protest could not be stopped.
Damn, why stop it
Harassing NPCs will be banned. Does Awei want to be imprisoned for such a thing like Mosquito?
After hearing this, the voice that was brave the previous second finally softened.
Woo...stingy.
I'll wear it for you.
！！！
Looking at the group walking away in a daze, a series of intermittent data streams flashed through Han Frost's pupils.
After a while, it pondered and lowered its head.
So that's it... Is the element of reviving civilization a maid outfit?
The eclipse slowly moved its eyes toward it.
...I think the confidence of information needs to be carefully considered before drawing a conclusion.
It makes sense that we should collect more samples instead of unilaterally accepting one of the parties…but this can be used as a clue.
The pupils flickered slightly, and Han Frost nodded, hidden deep on the circuit board in his chest, boiling with a dynamic current.
Solar eclipse, this is an opportunity for us.
The solar eclipse paused for many seconds and nodded slowly in a daze.
good……
