After hanging up Howard's phone call, Lucius felt that it was not easy for him.
Neighbors from afar are moving westward for their great ideals. Not only are their faces filled with the light of self-confidence and faith of civilized people, but they are also materially rich and can eat one bowl for three meals a day.
On my own side, not only do I have to carefully plan every item of supplies, but I also have to find a way to use the limited supplies to make the players happy.
No matter how tight life is, and occasionally he gets something good, he will use it to boost everyone's morale.
It's all over here, and there are still children on the forum thinking about his two bricks for building walls, and analyzing how to prevent "Middlemen" from making the difference.
Doesn't it hurt to touch your conscience?
The weak have no right to choose. In fact, Lucius knows very well that even with his little players as a bargaining chip, there is actually very little room for negotiation between himself and the group of people on the Pioneer.
Especially that Howard, who is much harder to fool than Captain Oliver, and the bottom line is even more elusive, and he is not given any chance to take advantage of it.
But there was no way, and Lucius had no choice.
It was rare to meet a group of local tyrants on an outing, and it happened that these people also admitted that the blue coat he was wearing, no matter how difficult it was to get the wool off, he had to bite the bullet and try to get it.
After all, it's a friend who came here this time, what if it's a jackal who comes next time? Even if you can't win at that time, you can only bite the bullet and fight.
Not surprisingly, today's workforce should be able to switch to 1200CR. Counting the 600CR for meal supplements, it adds up to 1800CR, which can be exchanged for 6 assault rifles.
These people are still very kind, they said 600CR for one day, even if they didn't eat breakfast with them, they still sent the money to him.
After the cooperation is over, the weapon store will update some new equipment with 300 silver coins and 400 silver coins, including automatic rifles and submachine guns, as well as modified sights, which can just update equipment for players who have already reached levels 6~8 .
For a better tomorrow with the new version. I hope his little players will work hard!
...
Before talking to Howard on the phone, Lucius took two small players of the perception department to find the signal tower mentioned in "Guard Diary" and "Blood Hand Diary" near the mutant's lair, and found that the device was just tripped. Although the parts are a little old, they are not completely broken.
The backup power supply was still half full, so he pulled the switch back on without saying a word, and the signal tower immediately resumed power supply.
Seeing the re-full signal on the VM, a smile appeared on Lucius's face.
The signal coverage has been directly extended to 10 kilometers away, and now the entire northern suburb of Spring City is covered.
Now his little players no longer have to worry about the problem of bad VM signal.
As long as they were not buried under the ruins or walked too far, I could grasp their situation anytime and anywhere, and issue tasks to them.
Very nice.
After finishing the phone call with Howard, Lucius then borrowed the office phone to contact Old Luka.
Old Luka on the other end of the phone respectfully reported to him about today's situation.
"My lord, I bought 100 kilograms of potatoes, 100 kilograms of corn, and some seasonings such as salt, soy sauce, and pepper as you ordered. However, Howard told me just now that if you use their cars to transported our things here, and they charged us a shipping fee of 1CR per km..."
Good guy.
This is a petty mood ah.
Lucius smiled and said, "It's okay, we don't use their cars."
There are now 10 caravans in the outpost, hundreds of power players, wouldn't it be easy to bring dozens of tons of cargo back?
Shifts are changed every three days, and when the people on this side pass by, the people on the other side just pull the supplies back.
As for the batch of materials exchanged today, they are mainly for the players to eat.
Although they brought some croissants, green wheat and jerky from the bottom of the warehouse when they went, those foods were only enough for a few days, and they wouldn't last long. There will be players changing shifts with them later, so there is no need to bring dry food over there.
Luka: "My lord, I found out that starch...seems to be cheaper? 1 CR can be exchanged for one kilogram, and it seems to be edible."
Lucius sighed and said, "If you only eat carbohydrates, you won't be able to get out. That stuff is not for food."
Old Luka didn't quite understand it. In his view, being able to eat enough was a blessing, and it didn't matter what he was eating. But since the Master said so, it is naturally impossible for him to talk back.
"Yes... By the way, my lord, I noticed that those people who came from the east seem to be very interested in what we eat, and they are even willing to pay for it."
"Oh?" Lucius continued to ask with interest, "Did they come to your place to buy food?"
Luka nodded.
"Yes. I wasn't sure how much to sell them, but I didn't want to cause trouble, so I gave them the mashed croissant and fish soup cost 1CR each."
Lucius touched his chin and said.
"Estimate the approximate cost of one copy... If you don't count the labor, but only count the materials."
Luka: "It's not expensive. Mashed croissants are only about two or three copper coins. Fish soup is cheaper, only two copper coins. But the fish we brought over is almost finished, and we will cook other dishes tomorrow."
"If those people come back tomorrow, you can sell them the 2CR and 4CR set meals. 2CR has a 200-gram mashed potato, and 4CR comes with a meat dish in addition to the mashed potato... Forget it, I still can't decide on the menu. You let the life professional players who cook to study what to eat every day, and I will send them a task later, anyway, you will set the price according to the two standards I mentioned."
Luka said respectfully.
"As you order, my lord."

Tomorrow Seeker: "I'm back! Let me talk about the conclusion first, the new area unlocked by the expansion is almost exactly the same as the one shown in the promotional CG!"
Keeping People Under The Knife: "Yes, I testify! Other games are looking for the same game screen as the promotional screen, but here is to find the difference between the two... The key is that I can't find it yet! You can understand that? Is it the feeling of stepping into the game CG?"
Mole In The Hole: "Damn! I don't understand!!! I also want to go to the new map to move bricks. (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ"
Badass Bunny: "One thing to say, the feeling of moving bricks in high technology is quite fun, slightly better than the experience of moving bricks near the outpost. (｡•̀ᴗ-)"
Night Commander: "Brother, tell me quickly! What is the process over there?"
Tomorrow Seeker: "Let me tell you, we first followed the Pioneer crew to the mobile camp they built for us, lived in a small single room on the upper and lower floors of the construction site, and then Brother Scrambled Eggs cooked us a long-lost meal. There is nothing to say about lunch. The focus is on the afternoon! We followed the two power armors to the abandoned town in the north!"
Tomorrow Seeker: "It is probably a place similar to the urban-rural fringe area. The building density is lower than that near Wetland Park. It is dominated by a large number of single-family houses and a small number of high-rise buildings. We are going deep into the urban area for nearly about 100 meters away, we came to an abandoned community hospital, here is a brand new map! We have never gone so far when picking up waste before!"
Tomorrow Seeker: "There was a lot of dust on the floor of the hospital. I briefly explored on the first floor and found that this place has been searched, and it has been searched more than once. I am not sure if there are other survivors nearby. Our 'Construction site' is in the parking lot on the basement level, where there are a large number of well-preserved car wrecks and the corpses of gnawers!"
Tomorrow Seeker: "I guess, a battle broke out here before! Unfortunately, when we arrived, the battle was over. Two power armors and two mechanical dogs were patrolling the parking lot, and our job was to use them The cutting machine assigned to us disassembles the valuable parts of the scrapped vehicles!
The whole process is quite decompressed, and the construction efficiency is much simpler than dismantling a car with an ax and a saw! We will roughly press the dismantled car door, hood and other parts with a manual hydraulic press, and then drag them to the parking lot in the urban area. On the heavy truck at the entrance. There are NPC engineers on board the truck, operating more professional equipment to perform secondary hydraulic pressure on the garbage, and then load the garbage pressed into metal blocks onto the truck.”
Tomorrow Seeker: "By the way, the NPC there will weigh the garbage, and then the collected amount will be counted in the taskbar of the VM. It looks like 100 kilograms can be exchanged for 1 silver coin."
Richest Elf King: "Wait, isn't that a good loss? The garbage collection mission at the outpost base is also at this price, I remember it was 1 silver coin for 100 kilograms of scrap steel."
Badass Bunny: "It's different. For the garbage collection task at the outpost, you have to pick up the garbage from outside Wetland Park. It's at least 1 km away from the park, and if you go to the underground parking lot in that kind of residential area It's even more troublesome, not to mention how far the transportation is, and there are often sneak attacks by nibblers."
Tomorrow Seeker: "Yes, and we don't have that kind of cutter in our base, and it will take a lot of time to remove the door and hood. In addition, this task also has activity reward points, about 1 point for every 100 kilograms."
Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Strength players have epic enhancements! By the way, I found something interesting. When Brother Mosquito and I were squatting in the camp to eat lunch, an NPC came over and exchanged instant noodles for lunch. ( ꈍᴗꈍ)"
Fast And The Curious: "F*ck?! So smart?"
Old King Next Door: "How does the NPC's instant noodles taste? Is it delicious?"
Get Up Ten Times A Night: "It tastes like noodles, the whole thing is stewed in boiling water, a bag of vegetables mixed with some noodles, I feel numb. But it's okay to eat fresh, anyway, we are not very hungry. (◡ ω ◡)
WC Really Has Mosquitoes: "I have to complain about this. I feel sorry for the NPCs on the Pioneer. They live in the heat of the water and cannot eat a decent hot meal."
Irena: "It's because the two of you can eat too much, you guys are top level foody, I still can't understand where you put so much food. (≧▽≦)"
Scrambled Eggs: "As soon as Brother Walker said this, I remembered that there seemed to be some NPCs from the Pioneer who came to us for dinner tonight? I think old Luka took their paper money, I don’t know how much it is.”
Big Eyes In Debt: "!? This version protagonist turned out to be a chef?"
Scrambled Eggs: "What the hell, that banknote is not for me. (＾∇＾)ﾉ"
Tabletop Cop: "But what's the use of that piece of paper? Can I buy something? I haven't seen an NPC store that accepts this thing."
Get Up Ten Times A Night: "I don't know, it seems that Boss Yaya has one right now, I don't know if she figured it out, why don't you ask her another day? ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ"
Irena: "Boss Yaya: What do you think? 〜(꒪꒳꒪)〜"
...
Outpost north gate.
Looking at the crowded market, Yaya who had stewed the mushroom soup sighed.
This was the third time she sighed in an hour. Usually, at this time, her booth is already crowded with people. Today everyone went to the new map to open up the wasteland. There are more sellers than buyers in the market.
There were two small players chatting just now, and the topics of chatting became "There are so few people in the market today", "Let's go to the forum for fun!", "Let's go!".
And then……
The two really left.
Yaya suddenly felt that those annoying ghosts who clamored to buy mushrooms, watched her perform a performance of stewing herself in an iron pot, and begged her to hit herself with mushrooms were not so annoying anymore.
"It's so cold today..."
How about getting paid? It’s okay if you do tasks, but if you set up a stall, there are too few people and it’s quite boring.
It's better to go to the official website to see sand sculptures and netizens brag.
Just at this point, it will be dawn in reality, many people have gone offline, and the official website is estimated to be a lively group.
Those big guys who went to the new map to open up wasteland should have already made a strategy, and they probably can see some interesting things.
Just when Yaya was thinking this way, a pair of big clear eyes came to the booth at some point, staring curiously at the cauldron and blinking.
Mushrooms, venison, and some herbs floated in the pot, exuding a delicious and fragrant smell. Akiba swallowed without disappointment, her eyes full of longing.
Seeing today's first little guest in surprise, Yaya hurriedly greeted him.
"Would you like a bowl?"
Akiba blushed, nodded in embarrassment, shook her head again, and said with a non-standard pronunciation.
"No."
Huh?
The expression on Yaya's face was even more pleasant, as if he had discovered a new continent.
This NPC can actually talk!
Seizing the opportunity, she hurriedly continued.
"Today's mushroom soup is 50% off, do you want to buy a bowl?"
Akiba blinked, but didn't understand this sentence.
She doesn't know many words, and she learned them all when she set up a stall with her sister.
Those blue coats always say some difficult words, but some words that appear frequently, combined with body language, can still guess the meaning.
This way of communication is a bit like other nomads they met on their journey.
Some people from very far away, although they seem to speak the same language as them, but the difference is not small. That's when you have to rely on intuition.
Yaya picked up the wooden bowl and filled a bowl of hot mushroom soup for the little girl, with a sweet smile on her face, she said softly.
"Forget it, I don't have any guests today anyway. For the sake of being so cute, take this bowl as your sister's invitation to you."
"Drink it while it's hot."
Looking at the bowl that was suddenly stuffed into her hand, the little girl looked at a loss, with an anxious expression as if she had done something bad.
When this person was in a hurry, she popped out a few more words.
She opened her mouth dumbly and said.
"I, I have no money..."
Yaya smiled softly, stretched out an index finger and shook it lightly, and spoke in a mixture of lame game language and English.
"No money, I invite you."
This time, the little girl seemed to understand that this bowl of mushroom soup was free, but she still had an embarrassed expression on her face.
Looking at the steaming hot soup in her hand, she finally couldn't bear the temptation of delicious food, picked up the bowl and blew on it, and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing the guest gulping down the soup, a motherly smile appeared on Yaya's face.
Knew it. Compared to silver coins or something. This is the satisfaction you seek.
"Drink it slowly, do you want another bowl? Your sister will add more meat for you."
After finishing the soup, she put down the bowl in her hand, and Akiba looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, the little girl rummaged in her pocket and secretly placed a necklace on the table.
There are several beautiful stones hanging on it.
"This is an amulet I picked up during my journey and made...for you."
Leaving behind this incomprehensible sentence and the string of handmade necklaces, the little girl turned around and ran away without waiting for Yaya to continue making soup.
Yaya was slightly taken aback, put down the spoon, and picked up the necklace on the table.
Well……
Mission props?
It doesn't seem to add attributes, no matter how you look at it, it's just ordinary quartz.
But Yaya happily took the necklace away.
At this time, a strange guest came to the market at the north gate.
The customer had a sneaky expression on his face, and after entering the market, he looked around, as if he was looking for something.
When he saw a stall selling mushroom soup, his eyes lit up. He walked over and pointed to the pot, then tore open his wallet, took out a note and slapped it on the table.
"I want to buy a bowl, how much is it?"
Why are all the NPCs here today?
Take a closer look, it seems to be the quartermaster of the office?
Looking at the 100CR banknote on the table, listening to the babbling tone that is completely incomprehensible, Yaya couldn't laugh or cry.
What ghost duck? Are you here to buy a whole pot again?
Just when Yaya was at a loss, a stalwart figure suddenly appeared beside her booth and rescued her.
"Haha, my friend, I have been looking for you for a long time, so you are here! I used your phone just now. By the way, you can't spend money with this kind of paper. We have to use a special currency. This pot of soup, just treat it as my treat.”
Gently took away the banknote on the table, Lucius scratched it on VM with his index finger.
Hearing the "Ding" sound of his own VM, Yaya quickly raised his arm to take a look, and then he was startled as if he could stuff a goose egg into his mouth.
100 silver???
Ahhh this! Is it too much?!
Looking at Lucius who put away the banknotes, Dante was also stunned.
Wait a moment……
Didn't you agree to invite me? Give me back the money.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come with me, I have prepared good wine and good food," while talking, Lucius picked up the whole pot of mushroom soup.
It still smells good. Drinking wine should be able to fill this guy with two more bottles.
"Wine? Do you have wine here?" Dante looked surprised, and instantly forgot about the banknotes.
Lucius looked at him strangely.
"Don't you have any?"
Dante looked a little embarrassed, and said with a smile.
"We do have alcohol, but it's impossible to drink alcohol, right? And the captain doesn't let us drink, saying that drinking is a mistake..."
Lucius acted thoughtfully.
"Then I bought you a drink, wouldn't it be a violation of your discipline..."
Dante took a quick look around, seeing that the person in the way was not there, he quickly waved his hand and said.
"It's okay, I'm willing to have a drink with you, this is also part of the official business!"
Seeing the impatient expression on his face, Lucius smiled knowingly, reached out and patted his not-so-strong shoulder.
"My friend, how can this be called official business? It's off-duty time, it should be said... let's toast to friendship!"
Dante beamed with joy and nodded vigorously.
"Yes, yes, let's toast to friendship!"
Seeing the two men walking away, the bewildered Yaya finally recovered from the shock of the 100 silver coins, and jumped up from the chair with a bang.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
"Master Manager, I still have a duck here!!!"
After hanging up Howard's phone call, Lucius felt that it was not easy for him.
Neighbors from afar are moving westward for their great ideals. Not only are their faces filled with the light of self-confidence and faith of civilized people, but they are also materially rich and can eat one bowl for three meals a day.

Mushrooms, venison, and some herbs floated in the pot, exuding a delicious and fragrant smell. Akiba swallowed without disappointment, her eyes full of longing.
Seeing today's first little guest in surprise, Yaya hurriedly greeted him.
"Would you like a bowl?"
Akiba blushed, nodded in embarrassment, shook her head again, and said with a non-standard pronunciation.
"No."
Huh?
The expression on Yaya's face was even more pleasant, as if he had discovered a new continent.
This NPC can actually talk!
Seizing the opportunity, she hurriedly continued.
"Today's mushroom soup is 50% off, do you want to buy a bowl?"
Akiba blinked, but didn't understand this sentence.
She doesn't know many words, and she learned them all when she set up a stall with her sister.
Those blue coats always say some difficult words, but some words that appear frequently, combined with body language, can still guess the meaning.
This way of communication is a bit like other nomads they met on their journey.
Some people from very far away, although they seem to speak the same language as them, but the difference is not small. That's when you have to rely on intuition.
Yaya picked up the wooden bowl and filled a bowl of hot mushroom soup for the little girl, with a sweet smile on her face, she said softly.
"Forget it, I don't have any guests today anyway. For the sake of being so cute, take this bowl as your sister's invitation to you."
"Drink it while it's hot."
Looking at the bowl that was suddenly stuffed into her hand, the little girl looked at a loss, with an anxious expression as if she had done something bad.
When this person was in a hurry, she popped out a few more words.
She opened her mouth dumbly and said.
"I, I have no money..."
Yaya smiled softly, stretched out an index finger and shook it lightly, and spoke in a mixture of lame game language and English.
"No money, I invite you."
This time, the little girl seemed to understand that this bowl of mushroom soup was free, but she still had an embarrassed expression on her face.
Looking at the steaming hot soup in her hand, she finally couldn't bear the temptation of delicious food, picked up the bowl and blew on it, and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing the guest gulping down the soup, a motherly smile appeared on Yaya's face.
Knew it. Compared to silver coins or something. This is the satisfaction you seek.
"Drink it slowly, do you want another bowl? Your sister will add more meat for you."
After finishing the soup, she put down the bowl in her hand, and Akiba looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, the little girl rummaged in her pocket and secretly placed a necklace on the table.
There are several beautiful stones hanging on it.
"This is an amulet I picked up during my journey and made...for you."
Leaving behind this incomprehensible sentence and the string of handmade necklaces, the little girl turned around and ran away without waiting for Yaya to continue making soup.
Yaya was slightly taken aback, put down the spoon, and picked up the necklace on the table.
Well……
Mission props?
It doesn't seem to add attributes, no matter how you look at it, it's just ordinary quartz.
But Yaya happily took the necklace away.
At this time, a strange guest came to the market at the north gate.
The customer had a sneaky expression on his face, and after entering the market, he looked around, as if he was looking for something.
When he saw a stall selling mushroom soup, his eyes lit up. He walked over and pointed to the pot, then tore open his wallet, took out a note and slapped it on the table.
"I want to buy a bowl, how much is it?"
Why are all the NPCs here today?
Take a closer look, it seems to be the quartermaster of the office?
Looking at the 100CR banknote on the table, listening to the babbling tone that is completely incomprehensible, Yaya couldn't laugh or cry.
What ghost duck? Are you here to buy a whole pot again?
Just when Yaya was at a loss, a stalwart figure suddenly appeared beside her booth and rescued her.
"Haha, my friend, I have been looking for you for a long time, so you are here! I used your phone just now. By the way, you can't spend money with this kind of paper. We have to use a special currency. This pot of soup, just treat it as my treat.”
Gently took away the banknote on the table, Lucius scratched it on VM with his index finger.
Hearing the "Ding" sound of his own VM, Yaya quickly raised his arm to take a look, and then he was startled as if he could stuff a goose egg into his mouth.
100 silver???
Ahhh this! Is it too much?!
Looking at Lucius who put away the banknotes, Dante was also stunned.
Wait a moment……
Didn't you agree to invite me? Give me back the money.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Come with me, I have prepared good wine and good food," while talking, Lucius picked up the whole pot of mushroom soup.
It still smells good. Drinking wine should be able to fill this guy with two more bottles.
"Wine? Do you have wine here?" Dante looked surprised, and instantly forgot about the banknotes.
Lucius looked at him strangely.
"Don't you have any?"
Dante looked a little embarrassed, and said with a smile.
"We do have alcohol, but it's impossible to drink alcohol, right? And the captain doesn't let us drink, saying that drinking is a mistake..."
Lucius acted thoughtfully.
"Then I bought you a drink, wouldn't it be a violation of your discipline..."
Dante took a quick look around, seeing that the person in the way was not there, he quickly waved his hand and said.
"It's okay, I'm willing to have a drink with you, this is also part of the official business!"
Seeing the impatient expression on his face, Lucius smiled knowingly, reached out and patted his not-so-strong shoulder.
"My friend, how can this be called official business? It's off-duty time, it should be said... let's toast to friendship!"
Dante beamed with joy and nodded vigorously.
"Yes, yes, let's toast to friendship!"
Seeing the two men walking away, the bewildered Yaya finally recovered from the shock of the 100 silver coins, and jumped up from the chair with a bang.
"Wait, wait a minute!"
"Master Manager, I still have a duck here!!!"
