This Game Is Too Realistic

Outside the south gate.

Twenty or so cows driven by nine well-equipped gunmen stopped when they were 50 meters from the south gate.

On the premise that there was no basis for trust, that was a relatively safe distance for both parties.

There were a lot of players nearby, some cutting trees and some transporting stones. Seeing the group of newcomers, they stopped whatever they were doing. They watched from far away and whispered among themselves.

"Look at that man’s arm, it that a prosthetic arm?"

"Prosthetic arm my ass. It is a bionic arm!"

"Does it make any difference?"

"The difference is… It is more cyberpunk this way. And if you look from the left, the second person’s eyes are entirely mechanical! I bet it’s not just mechanical prostheses, they must have installed implantable plug-ins or bionic organs!"

"Did you see their gun? That scorpion-shaped barrel is so cool!"

"Don’t think too much, the developers probably just brought them out to showcase what we can buy in the future. There might be a level requirement and you might only be able to buy them after reaching LV10.”

The people in the caravan did the same. They looked at those people in blue coats with a weird gaze.

They had been to many places with their boss, the furthest they had been to being the prosperous far east coast. They had seen at least more than ten shelters along the way, but they had never seen such a weird one.

"What are they doing?"

"I guess they’re building a house."

"Aren’t they living underground?"

"... Maybe they’ve grown tired of it?"

"Maybe they picked those coats up from somewhere…”

Liszt didn’t care what those people in front of him were thinking as he wore a look of impatience.

He felt that those people were real country bumpkins. They were too curious and didn’t care if it was polite to be staring at others.

The only thing he found a little interesting was the blue coats they were wearing. He had never heard of a shelter near the Linghu Wetland Park.

However, looking at how they were struggling to build a house, they were probably a small community with a low level shelter which usually accommodated between 1 and 100 people. This kind of shelter typically did not have a fully circular ecosystem and was equipped with, at best, a few hyper-sleep chambers. R̃äΝȱＢƐȿ

Maybe they used up their food supply, or their shelter’s electricity ran out and they had no choice but to come to the surface to survive.

Perhaps, he would need to add a new location onto his trading map…

Liszt thought to himself.

As his thoughts started to wander, Yu Hu had already trotted to the south gate and was speaking to Chu Guang who just emerged.

"Brother Chu, I’ve brought Mr. Liszt’s caravan here... Be careful."

The scavengers on Baker Street didn’t know Liszt’s full name.

For them, a bigwig like Liszt was at the same level as the town mayor, and they wouldn’t talk to them normally. Also, Chu Guang was more approachable. Not only did he become a neighbor with someone like him for a while, but he didn’t look down on them after he left.

"I will." Chu Guang nodded, expressing his understanding, and then walked forward with a few players.

Seeing that the plot was triggered, the surrounding players quieted down quickly. Those who were still noisy were also stopped by other players.

"I always thought you were a scavenger on Baker Street. It seems that I misjudged you." Liszt smiled faintly, and said in a pleasant tone, "It seems that I have made the right investment again."

"I am very happy that you can think of it this way," Chu Guang signaled to the player next to him to put the sacks on the ground and went straight to the point without talking nonsense, "These are the goods you want, you can weigh them."

Liszt made a gesture to the man next to him.

The man with electronic eyes and bionic arms moved forward. He stretched out the alloy-made right hand and took a sack, then looked back at his boss and nodded.

A happy smile appeared on Liszt’s face. "Very well, you fulfilled your promise. It seems that my efforts to come here were not in vain."

Then, he signaled to several other subordinates to unload the goods ordered by Chu Guang from the back of the cows and moved them next to the sack of Blue Umbrella Mushrooms.

Among them, the 10 kilowatt wood powered generator was disassembled into parts and contained in two boxes. In another box that was half a human height, there was a KV-1 power exoskeleton.

"There are instructions in the box. We purchase the goods directly from the manufacturer, and we do not provide assembly services. We only guarantee that every part mentioned in the instructions is contained in the box... In fact, there aren’t many of them. You can count them here if you like. However, that exoskeleton is already assembled, you can open it and try it.”

Even if he didn’t say anything, Chu Guang would do the same.

After all, there was no such thing as after-sales service on the wasteland.

First, he checked the parts of the generator twice with the instruction manual, and then he took out the exoskeleton from the box and put it on his body.

The weight of this thing was very light, the total weight was estimated to be less than thirty kilograms, and it looked like a skeleton.

It could be said that all the places that should be exposed were exposed, and the places that should not be exposed were also exposed. The only parts that looked sturdy may be the alloy humerus on the arms and the alloy ribs on the chest protector.

"You’d better not expect it to help you block bullets. The main structure of the KV-1 powered exoskeleton is made of aluminum alloy and a small amount of special plastic steel. It is characterized by its excellent lightweight and power design. Twelve motor groups can react in milliseconds and provide users with an additional load of two hundred kilograms.”

"In addition, there is a battery life of up to twelve hours and an adaptive walking system... Of course, these are the most basic functions, and you can refer to the manual for details."

"If you must use it to fight, remember to install more steel plates to it. I have seen mercenaries do this at the expense of some mobility."

Chu Guang read the instructions carefully.

To sum up, the exoskeleton could be very helpful in moving bricks. It ranked A in endurance, C in explosive power, and passable maneuverability. As for basic protection, it basically had none, but the skeleton design provided users with a blank canvas and people with good imagination could weld steel plates or weapons on it if necessary.

It was equivalent to having the engine of a tank and the chassis of a tractor.

Maybe there had been too many of the older ones produced, so people just changed them and sold them to mercenaries or manual laborers.

Chu Guang estimated that the thing wouldn’t cost too much to build. It was something Xia Yan would have been able to buy if she seriously tried to save money before meeting Chu Guang.

Chu Guang couldn’t help but start to wonder if the damn thing was worth 800 chips?

After all, the purchasing power of the chips issued by Boulder Town was still relatively strong.

"Are you done testing? I have to remind you that the battery life is only twelve hours. You don’t need to have it on all the time. You should turn off the power when you don’t really need it. You can just treat it as an exercise." Liszt couldn’t help urging Chu Guang to hurry up after seeing that he didn’t seem to want to stop anytime soon.

The longer he stayed, the more time he would waste. Since the transaction had been completed, he didn’t want to stay for a second longer.

"Yes… I’m quite satisfied." Chu Guang nodded, turned off the power, and took off the exoskeleton.

He was probably going to be able to sell it to the players in the future.

He believed that with their creativity, the thing could be very useful in many ways.

When he had the chance, he would organize a caravan to buy a batch of goods in Boulder Town. It was best to use the remaining Blue Umbrella Mushroom to trade for goods there. It should be possible to buy a lot more things than he did from Liszt.

Liszt didn’t know what Chu Guang was thinking. In his opinion, the twenty kilograms of Blue Umbrella Mushrooms should be all the mushrooms the survivor’s stronghold before him could get after half a month of harvesting, and it might have even cost them a few lives.

With just a wood powered generator and an exoskeleton, he could obtain so many Blue Umbrella Mushrooms. He truly made a killing on that trip.

"It’s a great pleasure to work with you. By the way, what else do you need? I have some good things left here. Salt, weapons, and some daily necessities take a look, you might find something you need. Even if you don’t need it, your companions may need it."

When saying this, Liszt raised his voice slightly.

However, to his surprise, the people around him did not respond to his words, they still looked at them curiously.

"What did that NPC say?"

"I don’t know. Just ignore what he says, anyway, this is like a movie without subtitles."

"Wow, our administrator got an exoskeleton!"

"Let’s focus on moving bricks and help the administrator to get a full-armor exoframe. Isn’t it cooler than an exoskeleton?"

"I have to admit that the details of this game are really great. Players’ behavior will advance the progress of the game, the progress of the game will increase the prosperity of the base, and the equipment of the NPC will also be changed. Everything is linked!"

"I really hope that the operation team of this game can release this game soon!"

Liszt’s face was filled with confusion.

What are these people talking about? Why is there no one interested in what I sell?

Chu Guang held back his urge to laugh and coughed slightly, ending his embarrassment. "We will buy other things."

"But I don’t have much chips here, I’m afraid I can only barter with you."

"It’s okay," Liszt resumed his composure and said. "Bartering is exactly what I had in mind."

In addition to the generator and exoskeleton previously ordered, Liszt’s caravan brought a lot of treasures.

For example, some 9mm or 7mm bolt-action rifles.

Chu Guang found out that 80% of the stuff this guy sold was guns or parts that were eliminated from Boulder Town arsenal.

For example, the barrel of the 9mm iron-barreled rifle was obviously the same model as the 9mm pistol used by Xia Yan before, and even the rifling matched.

The receiver was more interesting.

The receiver of the 9mm iron-barreled rifle was highly similar to the 9mm pistol, having almost the same air-conducting structure, while the former only had one less piston than the latter. It was equivalent to changing from semi-automatic to automatic and lengthening the gun barrel.

Using in-game terms; the jam rate is reduced, the accuracy of the middle range is improved, and the power of the middle and short distance is slightly increased.

The barrel and receiver of the 7mm iron-barreled rifle were similar to the 7mm assault rifle repaired by Xia Yan before. It had almost the same build, changing the automatic feature to the bolt action, and changing the automatic firing to single shots.

Anyway, the rate of fire was not that important to the survivors in the countryside. Being cheap and powerful were the requirements of most wastelanders.

After some selection, Chu Guang bought two bolt-action iron barrel rifles of each caliber.

Although Liszt insisted on the unit price of 200 chips at first, after Chu Guang mentioned the "secret" of these two rifles and told him that a well-made assault rifle could be bought in the store with only 150 chips, Liszt finally compromised.

By the way, Xia Yan was the one who told him the prices.

"You have no idea what happened along the way when we transported these things over from Boulder Town! There were countless mutants and robbers hidden in the ruins, and I brought them all the way over for you to only pay one hundred and fifty chips for them… Is that too much? It’s not much at all!”

"We like to do business with honest people. The receiver and the barrel of the assault rifles you brought are worth fifty chips at most, and you’re selling them for one hundred and fifty! What about your cost price? For someone like you, it will cost thirty… No, it might only cost twenty chips at most! After all, you won’t be using the best material to make them. Most of the materials you use are scraps eliminated from the production line!” Chu Guang surmised.

"This is slander!" Liszt blushed, angrily. Clearly, Chu Guang was correct.

Chu Guang smiled and continued, "I prefer to call it rational analysis. By the way, migrating reindeer and hyenas are different. They don’t belong here, and they don’t go deep into the city. Instead, they move to the southeast along the edge of Clearspring City. Let me guess... Wild animal skins should sell well where you are, right? Why don’t you bring some deer leashes back? You should be able to make a fortune."

If it was just for a few pieces of trash, there was no need to go north. After all, there were obviously more good things to be found in the ruins of the city.

Liszt said stiffly, "I know. I don’t need you to teach me."

"How about eight deerskins for four rifles and one hundred and twenty rounds of ammunition? I remember the last time you gave me 30 rounds of ammunition for one gun."

"Hehe, the price last time was two hundred chips. So don’t even think about it. I need twelve deerskins to make a trade like that."

"Twelve? Are you talking about hyena skin? If it’s deerskin, then you might have to add two kilograms of coarse salt."

"Who wants hyena skin? You are crazy! Even vampires are not as greedy as you!" Liszt cursed. However, that was the extent of rage he expressed.

Those noble ladies and rich ladies living in the inner city were always eager for the beautiful fur and the adventure stories behind them. Those big shots also liked to use these rare and hard-to-obtain objects to show their power and wealth.

These deerskins would definitely be popular once he transported them back.

Thinking of this, he finally nodded reluctantly. "I have to look at the goods first."

Chu Guang smiled and nodded. "Sure."
