My Players Keep Grinding in the Post-Apocalyptic World

Chapter 142: Dafu's Shopping Trip to Colossus City

Views:

After going offline.

Pu Shenqi continued to work at Duoyu Group.

Yesterday, I kept listening to the boss of the game department, Liang Seppi, bragging about how great it was when he and his grandfather started a company. As a result, he did not finish organizing the report of Duoyu Games for the last quarter, and was punished by his second grandmother to continue working today.

"Working two days a week... this is too hard."

"Can I go to the Labor Bureau and sue Duoyu Company for abusing its heirs?"

"Alas... my sister hasn't graduated yet, why not let her come and experience this kind of life as well."

Although he was reluctant, Pu Shenqi continued to study and organize the reports on Duoyu Games and verified every detail.

Finally, everything was done before lunch.

He passed the assessment of Second Grandma Han Ruyan and was allowed to go home, where he could continue playing games for a week.

"Amazing, games... just play them for fun. You are so young and this is the time to strive for success. When your grandfather was your age, he had already taken Duoyu Group public."

Pu Shenqi: "Yes, yes, yes... I also know that my grandfather died when he was my age. In order to maintain a good body... I'd better be an intermittent gangster."

"Hmm? Who did you learn this phrase from?"

"I told Mr. Liang. He said that my grandfather always liked employees like this. If I could live in my grandfather's era, I would probably be his favorite general!"

"It's amazing. You only know one side of the story. If you want to understand your grandfather's thinking level... you have to go find Xiaoxing, oh, Mr. Yi from Duoyu Media. When your grandfather was alive, he was known as your grandfather's soulmate. Only through him can you understand the whole picture of your grandfather."

"Okay... I'll go talk to Mr. Yi when I have time."

Pu Shenqi bid farewell to his second grandmother and left Duoyu Group.

As soon as I left the office, I ran into Liang Sepi.

"Eh? Mr. Pu! I heard from them that you had something to talk to me about this morning? I went out to investigate a new company that makes brain-computer interfaces. It was so damn unlucky! You want to defraud money just by making a PPT project? You even cheated me, Old Liang, what a bunch of idiots!"

Pu Shenqi scratched his head. Mr. Liang’s temper was still so... straightforward.

"Grandpa Liang, it's nothing serious. I just checked the employee changes at Duoyu Games this morning and found that last quarter... our director in charge of virtual reality game development resigned. I want to ask why? Hasn't our company's turnover rate always been low, especially for a new department like this?"

"Oh? Really? I'm a bit old, I don't remember... What was the name of the employee who left?"

"Cheng Shaofeng."

... ...

The following content comes from WeChat chat records

Note: Goddess size 4, D, 167cm, slightly plump

Shadow Night God: "Why did you cry in your Moments just now? What happened? Did someone bully you?"

Goddess: "My grandma just passed away..."

Shadow Night God: "Then... do you want me to come over and accompany you? I feel like you need a shoulder to lean on."

Goddess: "No need! I have a boyfriend to rely on!"

Shadow Night God: “?”

Shadow Night God: "Didn't you say you were single?"

Goddess: "I just found a backup boyfriend to accompany me for a few days, is that not okay?"

Shadow Night God: "Oh... Then I'll go for a walk with my grandma."

Goddess: "You are a fucking dog. I tease you when I am happy, but you are not even a dog when you are unhappy. What are you doing here?"

Shadow Night God: "Wow... Why are your words as cold as your grandma's?"

goddess:"?"

Goddess: Voice call not accepted

Goddess: Voice call not accepted

Goddess: "60 seconds voice"

After setting the message "Goddess No. 4, D, 167, slightly plump and perfect" to do not disturb, Shadow Night God packed up his things and walked out of the dormitory, heading for Yanzi Massage Shop.

"Haha~ As a sea dog, I won't spoil you!"

If he licks one person, he is a dog licker. If he licks 10 people at the same time every day, he is a sea dog!

Moreover, even though he often licks goddesses online, he is also a steely tough guy in many gaming forums, and in real life... he is also a respected god!

After arriving at the place.

Ye Shen casually took out 200 yuan.

"Serve me!"

"Okay, Brother Ye~"

Yan Zi, who was dressed up beautifully, immediately smiled happily and pulled Ye Shen to the inner room to wash her hair.

Then he massaged his head, first a dry massage and then a wet massage. He then put on a head cover, applied some massage cream, and put the head into the instrument to start massaging vigorously. As an old customer, Ye Shen was already very familiar with the instrument. Although he had served many customers, the advantage was that the base material of the instrument was good, so it would not be too loose, and it could also effectively wrap and heat his head.

In particular, the steam produced by the instrument is particularly rich, which can always keep the head warm and moist.

Ye Shen was lying down, receiving a head massage while continuing to chat with the goddess on WeChat.

Goddess No. 6, he has almost seduced her.

Today, with all the excitement, we should strike while the iron is hot and win it in one fell swoop.

Shadow Night God: "I like you!"

Goddess No. 6: "You don't deserve it!"

Ye Shen frowned, knowing... something was wrong.

This wave is too early.

But the words had already been said, there was no way to take them back, and with his many years of experience as a sea lion, he knew that what the other party said was basically a dead end.

You can't lose face even if you lose face, this is Ye Shen's bottom line.

He took a deep breath.

"Swallow, speed up, I'm going to perform."

The massage instrument that accommodated the head began to vibrate rapidly.

Ye Shen continued to return to the chat interface.

Shadow Night God: "I like you!"

Goddess No. 6: "You don't deserve it!"

Shadow Night God: "I just lost the game of truth or dare."

Goddess No. 6: "Did you choose the truth?"

Shadow Night God: "I chose the adventure."

Goddess No. 6: "Are you going to confess your love to your favorite person?"

Shadow Night God: "No, I confessed to the ugliest person on WeChat."

Goddess No. 6: “?”

“Hiss~ So cool!”

After setting a message do not disturb again, Shadow Night God let out a long sigh of satisfaction and completed the massage.

Yan Zi took his head off the instrument, took off the hood, washed the massage cream on it with clean water, and then ended the 5-minute massage.

Yan Zi likes to earn Brother Ye’s money the most.

Good value for money.

Earn 200 in 5 minutes, an average of 40 yuan per minute. Where can you find this job

After savoring it for a moment, Ye Shen left Yan Zi's massage.

Yan Zi called from behind: "Brother Ye, come here often~"

"Hehe~ You know my mood... My schedule is not that easy to arrange."

Ye Shen left behind a handsome back and left in a dashing manner.

Yan Zi at the back curled her lips: "You are really good at pretending..."

However, according to the frequency of Ye Ge coming once a month in the past, this week... Ye Ge came for the second time.

"It seems like you've made some money recently."

The speaker did not mean it.

But Ye Shen really made money. As a college student, he had almost no other income except the 1,300 yuan living expenses he received from his family every month. Occasionally, he helped others to play Diablo materials to earn a little pocket money, but it was barely enough.

A monthly swallow massage was the best he could do to reward himself.

But lately... things are different!

Since playing "Apocalypse OL", he has made 2 large sums of money!

The first time, Xigou gave him 500 yuan and asked him to give up a weapon, and then provided Xiaoxiao with the Large Radiant Flower. This was an easy thing to do and he made money very easily. This was his first time to go to Yan Zi for a massage this week.

Then yesterday, Xigou collected iron coins from other players, and he immediately sold all the 730 iron coins he had to Xigou, and received 730 yuan in WeChat transfer.

Here I am, spending again.

"This game is fun and can make money, so cool! It would be great if I could get a few accounts to sell..."

On the way back to school, Ye Shen re-booked 10 Tieba accounts. He believed that perseverance was the best weapon for influence planning.

Licking the dog, licking the dog, in the end you get everything!

"Hurry up until night, I want to continue making money in the game!"

As a man who supports his brother, Ye Shen’s favorite thing is to spend money on his brother.

...

6pm.

The entrance to "Apocalypse OL" has been opened again.

After lying at home all day with ants crawling all over his body, Agent Feng was the first to wake up!

"Wuhu~Another day of massacre!"

Then he ran out holding the forgiveness hat that had not yet been put online.

Forgive the hat for being a little late because I was delivering a hat to a boy in another city.

When he woke up, he found himself bouncing on a horse, with Agent Feng riding the horse and holding him as he walked forward.

"What the hell! Brokeback Mountain!"

"Brother Feng! Don't be like this... I'm really not a 0!"

Agent Feng looked at Forgiveness Hat with disdain: "Stop chatting awkwardly! If I had waited until you were online, I would have killed fewer Elite Predators! Get off the horse quickly, we're getting there."

After climbing down from the horse in a panic, Forgive Hat realized that they were almost at the edge of the radiation pit.

"Brother Feng is awesome! His efficiency is incredible! Are you interested in trying running errands? You can definitely earn more money than being a policeman!"

"Okay, let's tie up the horse and kill the monsters."

After tying Aikun outside a cave, the two men found a good ambush point and prepared for a big fight.

One after another, other players also came over.

"Make way, make way, make way! Don't stop me from going back to our plunderer Giegie's home."

The green-clad fangirl swaggered into the radiation pit to play with her old friend.

That’s right!

He had just learned the three sentences he wanted from Yaohu and Xuanxuan.

Secret tricks from "The Art of Listening"!

This can be considered a life-saving skill.

The fox demon has made considerable progress in language learning recently and has memorized the names of most daily necessities.

Currently learning grammar.

The 7-day crash course taught by the translation genius is really amazing.

But because it was too dangerous to go to the radiation pit, the Peak Team left non-staff members Xuanxuan and Gangzi at the base.

They can be resurrected, but NPCs cannot.

While the players were hiding from the pillagers... The Shadow Guard who had been running around in the Colossus all night returned to the Tianhe Hotel and repossessed Cheng Dafu, quietly waiting for the Colossus to start operating.

While the shadow guards were resting, Cheng Shaofeng, who had rested in the base for a night, opened his eyes.

"Ah~ I feel better. I feel exhausted after summoning the Shadow Guards. I don't have the energy to do anything."

After removing the weakness buff, Cheng Shaofeng began to count the radiation energy handed in by the players yesterday with full energy.

"Hey! 107 pieces of radioactive materials, sent out!"

You know, each piece of primary radiation can provide at least 500 energy points to the base!

There are also some radiation objects that can provide more energy, the highest of which is as high as 1,000 points.

These add up to a total of 62,000 energies!

The energy of the Scourge Base is now 12550/20000. During this period, the players' spoils and the base's expenditures are basically the same, with no increase. The reason why Cheng Shaofeng dared to use all the crystal energy to evolve himself was to wait for this wave of spoils from the players!

"Oh my goodness! Zero... We might have to upgrade the base to level 3, no! Directly to level 4!"

Zero: "The upgrade energy from base level 3 to level 4 requires you to upgrade first before you can see it. Do you want to absorb the upgrade?"

"Upgrade! Upgrade now! Let's swallow up all the energy needed to upgrade the base first!"

Zero: "As you wish..."

A pile of black boxes next to Cheng Shaofeng were invaded by nanorobots, which drew energy into the disaster base in Cheng Shaofeng's mind.

Energy absorption...

... ...

Absorbed! A total of 15 pieces of radiation energy have been absorbed.

The Scourge Base is full of energy and begins to upgrade!

Estimated promotion time: 1 day.

"Okay, it will take some time..."

Cheng Shaofeng could feel that the metal base in his mind was being infused with energy, and new building shadows were being outlined.

At the same time, the door of a micro-warehouse in the base began to loosen under the impact of energy, and the new nanorobot inside was about to be unsealed.

Allow the base to be promoted.

Cheng Shaofeng found Xiaoxiao and Xuezi and obtained two rare melee weapons.

A Tang sword and a long sword.

This is what two living players who don't go out to fight need to contribute every day.

Barbarian's Light Sword

Barbarian's Blood War Sword

"Huh? This Tang Dao adds a second level of two-handed blade? Good stuff, much more cost-effective than adding other skills."

"The sword has a level 2 Barbarian skin, which is pretty standard."

The properties are not much different from what they had forged before.

Cheng Shaofeng put away a Tang sword and put the other sword on the market for 300 iron coins.

"This price is quite affordable, players should be able to get it easily."

"The current forging materials are a bit monotonous... Steel and a large radiant flower are all that's left. There's nothing new about it. It would be nice if we could find more new materials."

But currently he knew... that only Rainbow Valley might have new energy materials, but it was full of poisons. The gathering points at the edge were okay, but with the current level of zero poison resistance of the players, going in to gather... was suicide.

The forbidden area for human beings, which is as famous as the radiation pit, is not just a name.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Shaofeng shook his head: "The four mountains are still too barren. We have to move to a place with more abundant resources around."

"After arriving at the new place... we have to build a communication base station. This thing is too important."

Communication is always the top priority.

Cheng Shaofeng assigned new tasks to Xue Zi and Xiao Xiao.

New task: Make steel in large quantities!

Before moving, collect enough basic materials and then start building.

"Alas... I can't communicate with the players outside the coverage of the communication base station. I don't know if the two farming players have found a new location."

Cheng Shaofeng couldn't help much at the base, so he had to switch lanes to control the Shadow Guard.

Cheng Dafu: "It's still this cool! I feel like... I'm not afraid of death."

At 7 o'clock in the morning, it was already bright in the Colossus City.

Cheng Dafu ate some beans, unloaded the cart from his carriage, and pushed it to the slaughterhouse himself.

The price of meat of common mutant creatures in Colossus City is 5 yuan per pound.

The slaughterhouse purchases unskinned prey at 3 yuan per pound.

Meat with a good taste or special functions will be a little more expensive.

For example, blood deer meat is sold at 8 yuan per catty, and the purchase price at the slaughterhouse is 5 yuan per catty.

Because this thing enriches qi and blood and can strengthen yang.

Obviously, no matter it is food, daily use, or medicine, as long as the effect includes the word "aphrodisiac", the price will increase by 50% out of thin air!

In Yanjing Town, the prices of these meats are similar, but in Colossus City... In this big city, there are many rich people. They don't have to face the harsh living environment of the wasteland, the mutants that can be seen everywhere, and they don't have to worry about being forcibly captured by plunderers and violently transformed. They live the same life as before the wasteland.

Oh no!

Before the Wasteland... Even if you have money, you can't do whatever you want.

In the wasteland, if you have money, you can do whatever you want.

As long as you don't challenge the dignity of the Colossus City, you can play however you want.

"So, those people in the upper class of Colossus City have severe kidney deficiency."

The guy receiving the goods at the slaughterhouse said so.

After listening to some gossip, the shadow guard felt that the price was reasonable and nodded.

"I've packed up all the prey in this truck and sold them to you."

"Okay, the boss is generous!"

The guy who received the goods' eyes lit up. He weighed the truck and found that there were a total of 835 kilograms of meat!

Among them, 220 kilograms are high-quality meat such as blood deer.

This guy looks like a wasteland merchant!

It is estimated that the goods are collected from Sishan and then sold to the city.

He can also make a lot of money from this order.

After the money was settled, the guy who received the goods said flatteringly: "Brother, if you need more goods in the future, remember to come to me again. I will definitely not let you suffer a loss on the price."

"OK."

The shadow guard left the slaughterhouse with a small bag of coins.

Just sold for 2945 dollars.

Together with the 1,000 yuan he brought with him when he came, the total was nearly 4,000 yuan.

Even in Colossus City, he is considered a wealthy family.

According to what Cheng Shaofeng inquired yesterday, the average worker in this city only earns about 10 yuan a day.

You would have to work for a year without eating or drinking to earn that much money.

“To the plastics factory.”

This time, the only cargo Cheng Dafu brought with his carriage was the prey. The rest... was in his bag, but it was difficult to find a buyer.

If there was enough money, he wouldn't have to look for it.

The plastic factory is located to the west of Colossus City, in a slum-like area.

It is said that they moved here because the workers here are cheaper.

Cheng Shaofeng entered the plastic factory, found the well-dressed deputy factory director, and said that he wanted to purchase a batch of plastic.

The deputy factory director is a fat man.

He had a cigarette hanging from his lips, puffing on it. There were drops of burnt yellow oil at the corners of his mouth, but he licked it with his purple tongue and put it back into his mouth.

It looks... disgusting.

Ganma, a hallucinogenic plant in the wasteland, is dried and rolled into cigarettes. Taking a few puffs can make people feel like they are in heaven.

The hair on the top of the chicken pseudotitanium raised in the base smells very similar to this plant, so it is also called chicken pseudogamma in some places.

"Purchasing goods? Which factory are you from? Who sent you here?"

The shadow guard spread his hands and said, "I need the cheapest plastic. You just need to sell it to me at the market price."

The fat man sneered: "If you want to buy plastic from me at the market price, you either have to work for a cooperative factory or have connections, otherwise... you have to buy it at my price, 6,000 yuan a ton, no room for bargaining."

Cheng Shaofeng pointed at the price list on the wall.

"Didn't you write 3,000 yuan/ton? Are you bullying your customers?"

The fat man sneered: "I'm just trying to trick you, what can you do? I'm the only plastic factory in the whole Colossus City, take it or leave it."

Snap, Snap~

Smoking a Ganma cigarette, the fat man felt that his power was once again asserted, and his soul was floating up.

As the deputy factory manager, if he wanted to make more money, he had to cheat those who came from outside to buy plastic.

The factory manager is no longer here, so all the extra money from sales belongs to him!

He could tell at a glance that Cheng Dafu was an outsider, not a businessman from Colossus City.

And that bulging package... sounds like it contains a lot of money.

Cheng Shaofeng looked at the fat man who looked like he had him in his hands, and he felt... furious.

You're too lazy to even cheat, so you just rob me, right

However, he had also inquired and found out that there was indeed only this one plastic factory in Colossus City.

It's a monopoly.

There is no need to worry about sales.

Cheng Shaofeng heard from others that this plastic factory was opened by a high-ranking relative of Colossus City.

For other factories or individuals in Colossus City, those who want to do business for a long time will not be cheated too harshly, but outsiders will make another harsh cut and make them spit out all the money they made from selling to Colossus City.

This phenomenon is not limited to plastic factories, other monopoly factories also do this.

Double pricing.

It’s just that some of them are more respectable and not as arrogant as the fat guy.

Cheng Shaofeng was jealous and angry... but suddenly he was no longer angry and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He suddenly remembered something.

"Hehe~ You are an ordinary person, right?"

The fat man laughed: "I am an ordinary person? If you are ignorant, go to Colossus City and ask around. Who doesn't know my name, Fan Dawang? Is this your first time as a wasteland merchant? Do you believe that if I shoot you, no one will dare to avenge you?"

He suddenly pulled out a pistol from his arms and pointed it at Cheng Shaofeng's head.

Cheng Shaofeng opened one hand, and a force of energy gathered in his hand.

After a moment.

“Ga ga~”

A black crow flew up.

His bloodshot eyes stared at Fan Dawang, and white lightning flashed on his claws.

Fan Dawang: (°ー°〃)

He quickly put away his gun and said, "Brother, I am just an ordinary person... You are a supernatural person of the Christian Church... Why didn't you tell me earlier? I will make the decision. I will give us a discount of 500 yuan per ton on the original price of all plastics. You can decide how much you need and I will ask the workers to install it for you."

Cheng Shaofeng patted the fat man's face.

"If you don't have any experience, go and ask around. Are we the people of the Christian Church in trouble? You don't want to get your head scratched by a crow while you're sleeping at night, do you?"

Fan Dawang twisted his head like a rattle.

"Brother... I am ignorant. You are a great man and don't bear grudges. Don't bother with me. I was high on Ganma and was blinded by the glycerin... I will give you a discount in the future."

"Load a ton of plastic into my car, pack it up... wait."

Cheng Shaofeng looked at his cart. It was pulled by two horses. It was obviously impossible for him to take back a ton of plastic.

The 800 kilograms of prey plus himself had made the two horses as tired as grandsons.

If he wants to bring back a ton of plastic... he has to find a bigger transporter.

"Pack up the plastic and leave it for me. I'll send someone to take it away later."

"Okay~"

Fan Dawang immediately directed the workers to tear the plastic into bags.

Cheng Shaofeng wanted the cheapest material, which was of average quality, but fortunately, the quality did not need to be considered when constructing buildings at the Disaster Base, and they would be in the best shape when transported and reassembled.

Even if the fat guy gave a discount of 500 yuan, one ton would still cost 2,500 yuan.

Most of the money was spent at once.

Cheng Shaofeng still has 1,402 yuan left.

He left here and headed for the Colossus City Caravan Headquarters.

This is the main place for Colossus City's foreign trade.

At the same time... we also undertake some transportation tasks.

"According to the time... the Colossus City caravan should be heading to the Four Mountains in the next few days. It would be a good opportunity to have them transport the plastics over there..."

The caravan of Colossus City possessed very powerful firepower. It was said that they were equipped with automatic weapons with great power. A tribe of hundreds of plunderers who wanted to rob the caravan were all killed before they could even touch the caravan's small train. The huge two-headed camels walked slowly by and trampled the corpses into mud.

The caravan's service was very good, and Cheng Shaofeng quickly arranged the shipping service.

But the charges... made Cheng Shaofeng frown.

The charge for transporting 1 ton of goods to Sishan is 1,000 yuan.

"Why don't you go and rob?"

But in a place like the caravan where powerful people are everywhere, Cheng Shaofeng dare not act recklessly. Even the extraordinary people of the Christian religion find it difficult to compete with the caravan's guns.

Majoring in the mysterious Crusade, judging from the skills Cheng Shaofeng has currently acquired, extraordinary people below the first level... have no means of defending against firearms at all.

"I wonder what defensive skills the high-level Crusader superhumans have..."

After Cheng Shaofeng came out of the caravan, he had only 402 yuan left.

He also planned to buy some bullets to take back.

But after a trip to the weapons store, Cheng Shaofeng came out with a grin on his face.

“It’s expensive!”

A 6.5mm rifle bullet costs 4 yuan a round, a pistol bullet costs 3 yuan a round, and the cheapest shotgun bullet is only 2 yuan a round.

However, there are very few shotguns in the Scourge Base, most of them are rifles and pistols.

Players are now armed with guns, and the bullet consumption has increased significantly. The bullets seized from the enemies may not be enough to defeat the pillagers in the radiation pit.

"There are 35 players. The Inquisitor players shoot more, and the other players shoot less. On average, each player shoots... 50 rounds a day, so the daily consumption is 1,750 rounds!"

"hiss!"

"So terrifying~"

If the bullets for rifles and pistols are divided in half, the daily consumption will still be 6,125 yuan.

"MD makes so much money? How can I make it? When the number of players increases, won't I be eaten to death?"

Although it is possible to recover a large amount of iron coins issued to players by selling bullets, but... the most urgent task now is how to make the first pot of gold in the Colossus City and then bring the ammunition back.

“How can I sell the things I brought?”

PS: Today’s update is 7,000 words.

Thanks to fellow book lovers for their corrections.

When I wrote about the skill yesterday, I forgot to write about the duration, so I made a patch.

The Barbarian class's skills ignore pain, have a cooldown of 40 seconds, and last for 5 seconds. Upgrading will not increase the duration, but will reduce the cooldown and increase immunity to damage and stun resistance.
