Goodbye, brothers, don't think of me... You Pangolins have to sl for a while.
The Heart of Steel put away the anchor chain and gradually moved farther and farther towards the east under the noon sunlight.
Thousands of thoughts were taken away by the giant whale floating in the clouds. The warrior waved his hand and said goodbye to the triumphant brothers.
He will be triumphant later.
It’s just that what went through was not Dawn City, but Triumph City.
Although I don’t know what methods the commander of the Eastern Legion, Salon, used, they returned to Triumph City as winners.
To be honest, the warriors are still confused until now.
The Legion fought an inexplicable war and then went home for no reason. In addition to scaring the company and the college, where did these big-nosed people win?
Just think you won.
He didn't care about such an insignificant little thing, and what made him extremely sad was another thing.
At the beginning, I had an idea that I even had a joke, but I didn't expect that I would actually travel through the entire desert for it, and even head to the distant west...
Triumph City.
Forget it, just treat it as an early experience of the new version.
Packet test, Packet test...
Isn’t this what the closed beta players do?
What are you talking about?
A pleasant voice came from behind.
Having guessed who that person was, the warrior skillfully switched to the couplet and said with a serious look on his face.
That was the spell of my hometown, and bad luck would hang on their oars.
Panni was stunned for a moment and chuckled.
...You are so humorous.
Looking at the silent pangolin, Panny thought he was still worried about the matter of shelter No. 0, so he comforted him with a light voice.
Governor Cohen did not blame you for the matter of Valli... It was not your fault. You faithfully fulfilled your mission and brought back the originals of the torch plan so that we would not be kept in the dark by the greedy and cunning East Coast people and the dark and evil swamp people.
The warrior said in a deep voice, holding his smile.
That's what I should have done.
Penny looked at him with a gaze.
Can you help me?
I am honored to serve you.
Looking at the sometimes dull and sometimes gentlemanly pangolin, Panny couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, but soon her expression brought a trace of rare slight slightness.
My…uh, my father wants to see you.
Your father?Looking at Panny who was moving away from his gaze, the warrior was stunned. What did he do when he saw me?
You may not know... She shook her bangs gently, and Panni said in a normal tone, "The Triumph News has reported many stories about your deeds, and it just so happened that I wrote a lot of the materials sent to the royal capital. In short, please help me?"
I always felt that my usual tone was not very natural, but the warrior didn't say anything and nodded.
In fact, he wasn't very good at rejecting people, whether in reality or in the game.
Just treat it as a triggered side mission.
Seeing the wooden man nodding, a happy smile appeared on Penny's face and her eyes were turned to the thin clouds in the sky.
By the way...we are going to stay here for the whole winter?
Well, the warrior nodded. There is no airship, so it is too dangerous to take the land... If you don't follow the large army, it is easy to have accidents.
The Northern Industrial Zone was once the logistics center of the People's Federation's era. Although there was the densest transportation network there, it was already a prosperous era.
Nowadays, those high-speed networks and underground channels are completely cut off, forming a three-dimensional maze with the intricate office buildings and warehouses.
The desertification there is not as serious as the Eastern Industrial Zone, but the danger is no less than here.
If you want to get around there, you have to walk through the wandering swamp. It is the moat of the college and is not a beautiful place either.
Just by looking at the description on the official website of "Wasteland OL", the warriors are not confident that they can beat the big desert or wandering swamp alone. Maybe it will be better when he reaches level 50 or level 60.
By the way, he has just passed level 30, and the fourth stage of the gene sequence is, according to the commonly used saying in the wasteland, it is to complete the third awakening.
This game is only a little easier to upgrade to the top 10 levels, and he couldn't help but wonder if Ah Guang was deliberately suppressing the level of the closed-beta players.
At this speed, almost no one can practice the legendary level 100.
Penny sighed softly.
I really want to go home soon...
That was a casual and heartless word, but it made someone next to him feel homesickness.
I heard that Old Hook bought the warehouse behind the Highway Town Hotel and demolished it into a building, with a very large yard enclosed in the middle.
The trading post was originally on the edge of Shuguang City, but now it has been enclosed in the sub-center as more and more houses are built.
The biggest change is the train station. It turned out that there was an open space in front of the platform, but now there are rows of concrete buildings staggered around it.
The square where they held a triumphal ceremony before has now planted a lot of green plants, becoming a place for residents of Shuguang City to take a walk, socialize and relax.
The newly established municipal garden management department of Shuguang City Hall is specifically responsible for the planning of public buildings and takes care of everything in an orderly manner... I heard that this is inseparable from the contribution of a professional life player who specializes in urban planning.
If the region with a specific NPC settlement has a reputation of more than 1,000, you can invest in a factory, if you have more than 10,000 yuan, you can participate in grassroots work in the municipal government, and if you have more than 100,000 yuan, you can even serve as the director of the municipal department in charge of the municipal government.
The Warriors have just heard recently that there are really players who are working tirelessly to gain regional reputation just to be able to live the mayor's addiction in the game.
Wouldn't it be nice to start a game of "Urban Skyline" directly?
Since the beginning of the year, Yazhi has been updating the aerial photos of Dawn City on its official website from time to time, and the Warrior has also seen that post.
However, he always felt unhappy about what he saw in the photos, as if something was missing.
Only then did he realize that what is missing is people.
Those NPCs with their own behavioral logic are like living people. They and many players from another world form the entire society and give real meaning to the latter's behavior.
He knew what he really missed.
hateful……
I want to go home too!
……
Just on the way back to the Heart of Steel, new content was updated on the official website of "Wasteland OL".
Although there is still no news about Beta05 and the new closed beta qualifications are released, the content is a little bit less than Beta04.
The Kaituo City, a new survivor settlement, is added: The Kaituo City standing on the ruins of the industrial zone in the eastern part of Renlian, is not livable, but it has a richer pre-war civilization heritage than Shuguang City.There was a group of brave adventurers who had been here, and brave men would continue to move forward in their footsteps.
New NPC Corps: The first, second, third and fourth construction corps of Bister: The prisoners of war in the Falcon Kingdom refused to go back and continue to be the cattle and horses of noble men. They would rather face the yellow sand on their heads.Even if building a city in the desert is not an easy task, at least the dry sweat is for themselves, they will prove that they can live well without those arrogant men!
New NPC Corps Thorn Corps: Among them are tailors, herdsmen, carpenters, teachers and even scholars.The toxicity of chaos destroyed their past lives, but did not defeat them. In order to spread the light of order and to save those who have not been saved, they resolutely chose to stay, declare war on all chaos and barbarity, and revenge on the Enlightenment Association that deprived them of the past...
New map Eastern Industrial Zone: The processing center of the People's Union era, even if it has completely turned into ruins, unexpected treasures can still be dug under the dilapidated concrete and iron-containing sand. If you find the dormant blue jacket, please take them to Kaituo City before the Enlightenment.Recommended map level: Lv15 or above.(Note: Because it is far from the resurrection point, please go to the map to explore and be cautious.)
Tail: Oh!Sisters of Thorns!Cunning spellcaster!!Let's go and register!(° °)
Big Eyes of Debt: Sisters of Thorns are OK, isn’t the 11th Star Corps more suitable!Bad reviews!
Sis: Awei wake up quickly. We finally arrived at the Southern Islands. It may take thousands of kilometers to go back.
Tail: Damn, the ship is driving too slowly... I wish I could get an airship.(??`'?)
Roushan Big Momo: That may cost tens of billions of silver coins.
Ye Shi: Be more confident and get rid of it.(funny)
ÁÁSesame Paste: Ah Hahaha…too much.
Fringe water: Is it possible to hand over defense to local survivors?
Fang Chang: From the Falcon Kingdom to the Honey Badger Kingdom, there are too many places to garrison. The alliance's standing corps are no longer enough, but there are many exoskeletons, bulletproof armor and guns left.I think it is still worth encouraging to be local survivors willing to protect themselves.
The Canyon Flight Mole: +1. From an economic perspective, it is better to recruit troops from the local source than to send troops from the alliance to station. Anyway, there is no possibility of large-scale military conflicts there recently.As for small-scale conflicts... hasn't anyone stayed there?
Irena: You can fool newcomers to come and help.(funny)
Quanshui Commander: But then again... Ah, the processing center of the People's League era, even in terms of probability, the good things there are several times more than Qingquan City.
I'm the darkest: Damn!I regret what you said, and I should stay with the grandson of the dog war field!
Debt Big Eye: Hahahaha!
Compared to the newly established NPC Corps, most players are obviously more interested in the ruins of the Eastern Industrial Zone of Renlian.
No one knows what is buried under the concrete ruins.
If you dig out a set of useful power armor, it will not be directly changed to T0 in seconds!
The only problem is distance.
The Great Desert is too far from Dawn City.
If you start from Dawn City and do not rent a corporate transport plane, you need to take the train to arrive at the Lion Kingdom through the fallen leaves, then transfer to the truck and head northwest to the Honey Badger Kingdom, then go to Bister Town, bypass the south of the entire Oasis No. 2, and then enter the Great Desert.
It will take at least half a month to go there.
After the Alliance's railway is paved to the Honey Badger Kingdom, it may be faster, or you can only wait for the Alliance to create a longer and faster transportation.
Just as the players on the forum were communicating information about the new map, Chu Guang was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the airship bridge, looking into the direction of the horizon.
Sitting on Chu Guang's shoulder, Xiao Qi shook her legs and pointed at the mountains and forests in the distance and shouted excitedly.
Master, the river valley province is ahead!
Finally going home!
The communication situation in the desert was intermittent, and she spent most of the day disconnecting, and she would not have this trouble when she returned to the valley province.
Looking at the horizon and narrowed his eyes, a smile couldn't help but appear on Chu Guang's face.
Um.
I haven't been back for a long time, and he also blamed me for missing the people there. I believe that the residents of Shuguang City must also miss him very much.
Because part of the armor was abandoned and some of the supplies were left in Kaituo City, the return speed of the Heart of Steel was much faster than the outbound speed, and the average cruise speed of long-distance travel could even reach 80 kilometers per hour!
Although this speed cannot catch up with the plane, it can fly nearly 2,000 kilometers a day, and it takes less than two days to travel from the Great Desert to the River Valley Province.
It has to be said that in the wastelands everywhere, airships are indeed a good long-distance vehicle, even if they do not consider the rare anti-gravity device.
The only disadvantage is that hydrogen is too dangerous and helium is not easy to deal with.
In front is our fallen leaves city.Standing next to Chu Guang, the acting captain stared at the settlement located next to Ruigu City with radiance.
Rows of houses surrounded by stars on both sides of the train station. The warehouse next to the station was filled with crops transported from Luoxia Province and industrial products that were about to be sent to the desert.
Originally, the Alliance built this settlement just to take in wasteland tourists concentrated by the legion. After the Alliance's Expeditionary Force officially headed to Luoxia Province, it was used as a transit station for front-line supplies, attracting a large number of merchants from the Camel Kingdom and Giant Rock City, as well as refugees who avoided war disasters.
Now that the war has ended, the prosperity here has not ended because of this. Instead, it has taken a step further due to the increase in business exchanges.
In the future, this survivor settlement will continue to exist as a trade hub connecting Luoxia Province and the River Valley Province.
Chu Guang still has great expectations for the future of this settlement.
Compared with Dawn City and Dawn City, Luoye City has a wider plain to use, and without the huge ruins of Qingquan City, it will be easier to travel from Luoye City to Jinchuan Province.
It would be great if the southern Jinchuan province could be included in the alliance's trade territory.
Even if we have the granary of Luoxia Province, the alliance no longer needs the food there, and the development value of that land is very high.
Moreover, according to the information investigated by the White Bear Knights and related clues revealed by the company, the development of the ocean in the era of the People's Federation is not inferior to that of land, and there are many relics of the prosperity era, even refuges, from sea level to the seabed!
If you want to make use of those resources on a large scale, you must first have an outlet belonging to the alliance and open a southward corridor with Luoye City as the starting point. At least it will be a good choice from the map.
...I didn't expect that the change in a few months would be so big.Looking at the night view of Luoye City, Chu Guang couldn't help but feel a little expectation in his heart.
I don’t know what it would be like to overlook the night view of Dawn City from a high altitude.
It seems that it is a while since the last celebration.
He had been observing the expression on Chu Guang's face, and the acting captain standing next to him said respectfully.
...Sir, do you want to stop here?
No, keep moving forward.Instead of enjoying this beautiful night view, I hope to bring back the news of triumph soon.
After a pause, Chu Guang said with a smile.
By the way, hang our flag!Let everyone see it!Don’t let those compatriots who are looking forward to our return home wait and let those who curse us take a look.
Not only are we back, but we are also back full of victory and glory!
Looking at the manager with bright eyes, the agent captain stood up excitedly and saluted his right fist against his chest.
yes!
……
Just as the Heart of Steel was hanging the flag of the alliance and returning with great fanfare, the Stone City was in full bloom.
It was not just the Alliance that made the war money, but also made a profit from major trading companies and factory owners that invested in the Alliance early.
There was a constant stream of guests at the door of the Queen of Night’s bar, and the temperature of the entire street rose several degrees.
Whether it is a noble in the inner city or a boss who runs factories, if you make a lot of money, you naturally have to find a place to spend money. Otherwise, why is it for making money?
It is not just the bar and commercial street, but also the town hall that is several streets away.
Because of that wise decision a few months ago, Mr. Melvin, the president of Rock Bank, was in the limelight.
If he and Duroli had not passed the resolution to lend money to the league against the opposition, there would have been no prosperity today of Boulder City!
Now everyone has made a lot of money, and he is the best!
Just after the meeting, Melvin wanted to drink some wine to relax, but was entangled by his cute little daughter, saying that he wanted to tell him a bedtime story.
Melvin was very happy, but when he saw the Survivor Daily on the table, his face was not very good.
He could guess with his hair that this little girl had probably learned some of the accents of those wasteland tourists and wanted to tell him some great principles that she actually didn't understand very well.
Although impatient, she is her favorite little daughter after all, and Melvin can't be angry either.It happened that he was in a good mood, so he sat on the sofa patiently.
Alisa cleared her throat, held up the picture book in her hand, and read it in a tender voice.
...In the long history of the People's League, there was a very small kingdom, and the area there was even smaller than that of the Honey Badger Kingdom.
In order to open up the future of the kingdom, the merchants set sail to sea with the support of the king.However, when the merchants earned huge wealth, they bribed the people of the kingdom and pushed the elderly king to the gallows, becoming the uncrowned king of the kingdom.
Although there was no king, the lives of the people of the kingdom did not become better.They were originally working in the fields for the feudal lords, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, but now they have been driven into coal mines and factories, working endlessly, regardless of age or young.
Until later, the unbearable citizens united, overthrew the kingdom ruled by merchants and nobles, and hung those who cheated their property on the street lamps... just like those merchants pushed the king to the gallows back then.
After listening to the story told by his daughter, Melvin pinched his eyebrows and sighed.
You want to say that our situation is dangerous now.
Alyssa looked at her father intently, her tender face with her intelligence and agility that was inconsistent with her age.
I heard from the servants at home that a piece of bread outside had sold 2 chips, and even the price of nutritional paste tripled... This is strange. You said that our factory has increased, more jobs have been employed, and everything is getting better, but the lives of the residents of Giant Rock City have not improved too much. This is abnormal, right?I don't think this is a good sign.
Not a good sign...
What else can be considered good?
Listening to the tender voice, Melvin shook his head with a smile.
Is there any better sign than if everyone's purse is stuffed with chips?
My child, we are essentially different from the kingdom in the fairy tale picture book in your hands. Have you forgotten the origin of the outer city?Originally, there was only one building and an inner city... If we hadn't taken in the wasteland tourists who now live in the outer city, they would have long been exposed to the wilderness and became the residue in the mouths of eaters and hyenas!Becoming a predator and a mutant... Anyway, it's not a good thing.
As he talked, he unconsciously brought the vigor at the conference table back home.
Alyssa frowned, dissatisfied with her father's tone, and corrected her seriously.
...This is not a fairy tale picture book, it is our history.
Of course, my kids...this is indeed something that may have happened on this planet.
Immediately realizing that his tone was a little wrong, Melvin made his wording sound a little more gentle.
He continued patiently as he looked at his cute little daughter.
...But the difference is that the Rock City has never been ruled by merchants from beginning to end.Do you really think it was the bank that made them unable to afford bread?On the contrary, your dad may not be a good person, but if I hadn't lent money to those factories, those poor people wouldn't have even a bargaining chip in their pockets. What's the use of even cheaper bread?
A trace of confusion appeared in Alyssa's eyes.
Although she learned a little from newspapers and books, she only had a little bit of what others said... and what his father said was beyond her knowledge.
Melvin touched his daughter's head and said lovingly.
Don’t copy and copy the problem when considering it. Our situation is different from your picture book from the beginning of the story.Whether it is Weijia Trading Company or our Jishi City Bank, our shareholders were the nobles in the inner city from the beginning, and they lent us the first bargaining chip.
I should have told you that your mother's family...her ancestors were the first survivors of the Giant Stone Building.I hope you learn more about the noble etiquette and way of dealing with the world with her. If it really doesn't work, I can only send you to Ideal City to study.
He liked this clever little daughter very much, but sometimes he thought that if she wasn't that smart...or a little stupid.
Being smart is not a bad thing.
But if you add childishness, it is easy to have big problems.
She is not young anymore, and it will be time to get married in two years. Maybe she should be a little stricter, at least she shouldn't continue to coax her like a child.
Alyssa blinked.
Where is my brother?
Melvin nodded.
That's right.
This is a way out.
Of course he knew that there were hidden concerns in the current situation in Rock City, but this was not a problem he could solve.
The city lord will not support him, the militia leader will not, the chairman of Jushi Military Industry will not, and the nobles in the inner city will not.
All animals know how to seek profit and avoid harm, let alone a banker like him who has a keen sense of smell. Since the problem cannot be solved, then make more money before the problem arises.
Especially recently he discovered a good channel, that is, the alliance rising in the northern suburbs.
Although the wastelanders and blue jackets always do something that he can't understand, the final result was unexpectedly good.
Not only did they hold up the legion's attack, but they even gained the friendship of the ancient survivor forces.
He heard his youngest son, who was far away in Ideal City, say in the letter that the alliance's merchants even sold fried chicken wings and cola to Ideal City!
This is incredible!
God knows how those guys solve the transportation problem!
But this is not the key. The key is that silver coins can be exchanged in large quantities into Cr, which is something that even chips cannot be done.
In the past, if you want to switch to Cr, you must exchange it on the exchange of Stone City like buying transaction goods, and the transaction volume is pityable.
Although you can exchange several Cr for a chip now, it is because there are few caravans in Yunjian Province, and most people cannot use Cr.
If the exchange volume really increases, even 10 million chips may not be able to exchange for 1 million Cr on the exchange of Stone City.
Thinking of this, Melvin's gaze unconsciously looked at the Survivor Daily on the coffee table and touched his chin thoughtfully.
Speaking of which, the manager is back.
Alisa nodded vigorously and looked at her father expectantly.
Um!I heard that there will be a big triumphal celebration... Can we go there and take a look?
Touching his daughter's head, Melvin said with a gentle smile.
Of course...but you have to listen to your father. After all, there is wasteland outside the wall, and it is not as safe as the home.
real?!Very good!
A rare excitement appeared on the quiet face. Alisa looked at her kind-smiling father in surprise and swore seriously.
I promise you that I will be good!
Looking at his daughter with expectations on her face, Melvin smiled gently, but was thinking about something else in his heart.
Before, Giant Rock City borrowed a lot of money from the alliance to fight, and it was time to pay interest. I believe that person should bring back a lot of good things.
However, what he was thinking about was not the treasure house of the King of the Falcon Kingdom and the gold that was yellow but useless, but other things.
perhaps……
Their cooperation can be further deepened.
The Heart of Steel put away the anchor chain and gradually moved farther and farther towards the east under the noon sunlight.
Thousands of thoughts were taken away by the giant whale floating in the clouds. The warrior waved his hand and said goodbye to the triumphant brothers.
He will be triumphant later.
It’s just that what went through was not Dawn City, but Triumph City.
Although I don’t know what methods the commander of the Eastern Legion, Salon, used, they returned to Triumph City as winners.

The Northern Industrial Zone was once the logistics center of the People's Federation's era. Although there was the densest transportation network there, it was already a prosperous era.
Nowadays, those high-speed networks and underground channels are completely cut off, forming a three-dimensional maze with the intricate office buildings and warehouses.

Quanshui Commander: But then again... Ah, the processing center of the People's League era, even in terms of probability, the good things there are several times more than Qingquan City.
I'm the darkest: Damn!I regret what you said, and I should stay with the grandson of the dog war field!
Debt Big Eye: Hahahaha!
Compared to the newly established NPC Corps, most players are obviously more interested in the ruins of the Eastern Industrial Zone of Renlian.
No one knows what is buried under the concrete ruins.
If you dig out a set of useful power armor, it will not be directly changed to T0 in seconds!
The only problem is distance.
The Great Desert is too far from Dawn City.
If you start from Dawn City and do not rent a corporate transport plane, you need to take the train to arrive at the Lion Kingdom through the fallen leaves, then transfer to the truck and head northwest to the Honey Badger Kingdom, then go to Bister Town, bypass the south of the entire Oasis No. 2, and then enter the Great Desert.
It will take at least half a month to go there.
After the Alliance's railway is paved to the Honey Badger Kingdom, it may be faster, or you can only wait for the Alliance to create a longer and faster transportation.
Just as the players on the forum were communicating information about the new map, Chu Guang was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the airship bridge, looking into the direction of the horizon.
Sitting on Chu Guang's shoulder, Xiao Qi shook her legs and pointed at the mountains and forests in the distance and shouted excitedly.
Master, the river valley province is ahead!
Finally going home!
The communication situation in the desert was intermittent, and she spent most of the day disconnecting, and she would not have this trouble when she returned to the valley province.
Looking at the horizon and narrowed his eyes, a smile couldn't help but appear on Chu Guang's face.
Um.
I haven't been back for a long time, and he also blamed me for missing the people there. I believe that the residents of Shuguang City must also miss him very much.
Because part of the armor was abandoned and some of the supplies were left in Kaituo City, the return speed of the Heart of Steel was much faster than the outbound speed, and the average cruise speed of long-distance travel could even reach 80 kilometers per hour!
Although this speed cannot catch up with the plane, it can fly nearly 2,000 kilometers a day, and it takes less than two days to travel from the Great Desert to the River Valley Province.
It has to be said that in the wastelands everywhere, airships are indeed a good long-distance vehicle, even if they do not consider the rare anti-gravity device.
The only disadvantage is that hydrogen is too dangerous and helium is not easy to deal with.
In front is our fallen leaves city.Standing next to Chu Guang, the acting captain stared at the settlement located next to Ruigu City with radiance.
Rows of houses surrounded by stars on both sides of the train station. The warehouse next to the station was filled with crops transported from Luoxia Province and industrial products that were about to be sent to the desert.
Originally, the Alliance built this settlement just to take in wasteland tourists concentrated by the legion. After the Alliance's Expeditionary Force officially headed to Luoxia Province, it was used as a transit station for front-line supplies, attracting a large number of merchants from the Camel Kingdom and Giant Rock City, as well as refugees who avoided war disasters.
Now that the war has ended, the prosperity here has not ended because of this. Instead, it has taken a step further due to the increase in business exchanges.
In the future, this survivor settlement will continue to exist as a trade hub connecting Luoxia Province and the River Valley Province.
Chu Guang still has great expectations for the future of this settlement.
Compared with Dawn City and Dawn City, Luoye City has a wider plain to use, and without the huge ruins of Qingquan City, it will be easier to travel from Luoye City to Jinchuan Province.
It would be great if the southern Jinchuan province could be included in the alliance's trade territory.
Even if we have the granary of Luoxia Province, the alliance no longer needs the food there, and the development value of that land is very high.
Moreover, according to the information investigated by the White Bear Knights and related clues revealed by the company, the development of the ocean in the era of the People's Federation is not inferior to that of land, and there are many relics of the prosperity era, even refuges, from sea level to the seabed!
If you want to make use of those resources on a large scale, you must first have an outlet belonging to the alliance and open a southward corridor with Luoye City as the starting point. At least it will be a good choice from the map.
...I didn't expect that the change in a few months would be so big.Looking at the night view of Luoye City, Chu Guang couldn't help but feel a little expectation in his heart.
I don’t know what it would be like to overlook the night view of Dawn City from a high altitude.
It seems that it is a while since the last celebration.
He had been observing the expression on Chu Guang's face, and the acting captain standing next to him said respectfully.
...Sir, do you want to stop here?
No, keep moving forward.Instead of enjoying this beautiful night view, I hope to bring back the news of triumph soon.
After a pause, Chu Guang said with a smile.
By the way, hang our flag!Let everyone see it!Don’t let those compatriots who are looking forward to our return home wait and let those who curse us take a look.
Not only are we back, but we are also back full of victory and glory!
Looking at the manager with bright eyes, the agent captain stood up excitedly and saluted his right fist against his chest.
yes!
……
Just as the Heart of Steel was hanging the flag of the alliance and returning with great fanfare, the Stone City was in full bloom.
It was not just the Alliance that made the war money, but also made a profit from major trading companies and factory owners that invested in the Alliance early.
There was a constant stream of guests at the door of the Queen of Night’s bar, and the temperature of the entire street rose several degrees.
Whether it is a noble in the inner city or a boss who runs factories, if you make a lot of money, you naturally have to find a place to spend money. Otherwise, why is it for making money?
It is not just the bar and commercial street, but also the town hall that is several streets away.
Because of that wise decision a few months ago, Mr. Melvin, the president of Rock Bank, was in the limelight.
If he and Duroli had not passed the resolution to lend money to the league against the opposition, there would have been no prosperity today of Boulder City!
Now everyone has made a lot of money, and he is the best!
Just after the meeting, Melvin wanted to drink some wine to relax, but was entangled by his cute little daughter, saying that he wanted to tell him a bedtime story.
Melvin was very happy, but when he saw the Survivor Daily on the table, his face was not very good.
He could guess with his hair that this little girl had probably learned some of the accents of those wasteland tourists and wanted to tell him some great principles that she actually didn't understand very well.
Although impatient, she is her favorite little daughter after all, and Melvin can't be angry either.It happened that he was in a good mood, so he sat on the sofa patiently.
Alisa cleared her throat, held up the picture book in her hand, and read it in a tender voice.
...In the long history of the People's League, there was a very small kingdom, and the area there was even smaller than that of the Honey Badger Kingdom.
In order to open up the future of the kingdom, the merchants set sail to sea with the support of the king.However, when the merchants earned huge wealth, they bribed the people of the kingdom and pushed the elderly king to the gallows, becoming the uncrowned king of the kingdom.
Although there was no king, the lives of the people of the kingdom did not become better.They were originally working in the fields for the feudal lords, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, but now they have been driven into coal mines and factories, working endlessly, regardless of age or young.
Until later, the unbearable citizens united, overthrew the kingdom ruled by merchants and nobles, and hung those who cheated their property on the street lamps... just like those merchants pushed the king to the gallows back then.
After listening to the story told by his daughter, Melvin pinched his eyebrows and sighed.
You want to say that our situation is dangerous now.
Alyssa looked at her father intently, her tender face with her intelligence and agility that was inconsistent with her age.
I heard from the servants at home that a piece of bread outside had sold 2 chips, and even the price of nutritional paste tripled... This is strange. You said that our factory has increased, more jobs have been employed, and everything is getting better, but the lives of the residents of Giant Rock City have not improved too much. This is abnormal, right?I don't think this is a good sign.
Not a good sign...
What else can be considered good?
Listening to the tender voice, Melvin shook his head with a smile.
Is there any better sign than if everyone's purse is stuffed with chips?
My child, we are essentially different from the kingdom in the fairy tale picture book in your hands. Have you forgotten the origin of the outer city?Originally, there was only one building and an inner city... If we hadn't taken in the wasteland tourists who now live in the outer city, they would have long been exposed to the wilderness and became the residue in the mouths of eaters and hyenas!Becoming a predator and a mutant... Anyway, it's not a good thing.
As he talked, he unconsciously brought the vigor at the conference table back home.
Alyssa frowned, dissatisfied with her father's tone, and corrected her seriously.
...This is not a fairy tale picture book, it is our history.
Of course, my kids...this is indeed something that may have happened on this planet.
Immediately realizing that his tone was a little wrong, Melvin made his wording sound a little more gentle.
He continued patiently as he looked at his cute little daughter.
...But the difference is that the Rock City has never been ruled by merchants from beginning to end.Do you really think it was the bank that made them unable to afford bread?On the contrary, your dad may not be a good person, but if I hadn't lent money to those factories, those poor people wouldn't have even a bargaining chip in their pockets. What's the use of even cheaper bread?
A trace of confusion appeared in Alyssa's eyes.
Although she learned a little from newspapers and books, she only had a little bit of what others said... and what his father said was beyond her knowledge.
Melvin touched his daughter's head and said lovingly.
Don’t copy and copy the problem when considering it. Our situation is different from your picture book from the beginning of the story.Whether it is Weijia Trading Company or our Jishi City Bank, our shareholders were the nobles in the inner city from the beginning, and they lent us the first bargaining chip.
I should have told you that your mother's family...her ancestors were the first survivors of the Giant Stone Building.I hope you learn more about the noble etiquette and way of dealing with the world with her. If it really doesn't work, I can only send you to Ideal City to study.
He liked this clever little daughter very much, but sometimes he thought that if she wasn't that smart...or a little stupid.
Being smart is not a bad thing.
But if you add childishness, it is easy to have big problems.
She is not young anymore, and it will be time to get married in two years. Maybe she should be a little stricter, at least she shouldn't continue to coax her like a child.
Alyssa blinked.
Where is my brother?
Melvin nodded.
That's right.
This is a way out.
Of course he knew that there were hidden concerns in the current situation in Rock City, but this was not a problem he could solve.
The city lord will not support him, the militia leader will not, the chairman of Jushi Military Industry will not, and the nobles in the inner city will not.
All animals know how to seek profit and avoid harm, let alone a banker like him who has a keen sense of smell. Since the problem cannot be solved, then make more money before the problem arises.
Especially recently he discovered a good channel, that is, the alliance rising in the northern suburbs.
Although the wastelanders and blue jackets always do something that he can't understand, the final result was unexpectedly good.
Not only did they hold up the legion's attack, but they even gained the friendship of the ancient survivor forces.
He heard his youngest son, who was far away in Ideal City, say in the letter that the alliance's merchants even sold fried chicken wings and cola to Ideal City!
This is incredible!
God knows how those guys solve the transportation problem!
But this is not the key. The key is that silver coins can be exchanged in large quantities into Cr, which is something that even chips cannot be done.
In the past, if you want to switch to Cr, you must exchange it on the exchange of Stone City like buying transaction goods, and the transaction volume is pityable.
Although you can exchange several Cr for a chip now, it is because there are few caravans in Yunjian Province, and most people cannot use Cr.
If the exchange volume really increases, even 10 million chips may not be able to exchange for 1 million Cr on the exchange of Stone City.
Thinking of this, Melvin's gaze unconsciously looked at the Survivor Daily on the coffee table and touched his chin thoughtfully.
Speaking of which, the manager is back.
Alisa nodded vigorously and looked at her father expectantly.
Um!I heard that there will be a big triumphal celebration... Can we go there and take a look?
Touching his daughter's head, Melvin said with a gentle smile.
Of course...but you have to listen to your father. After all, there is wasteland outside the wall, and it is not as safe as the home.
real?!Very good!
A rare excitement appeared on the quiet face. Alisa looked at her kind-smiling father in surprise and swore seriously.
I promise you that I will be good!
Looking at his daughter with expectations on her face, Melvin smiled gently, but was thinking about something else in his heart.
Before, Giant Rock City borrowed a lot of money from the alliance to fight, and it was time to pay interest. I believe that person should bring back a lot of good things.
However, what he was thinking about was not the treasure house of the King of the Falcon Kingdom and the gold that was yellow but useless, but other things.
perhaps……
Their cooperation can be further deepened.
