Chapter 54: NPC No. 2 comes online and new ways to set up stalls!
Chapter 54: NPC No. 2 goes online and sets up stalls in a new way!
The players’ performance did not disappoint Chu Guang.
The two brothers majoring in metallurgy only took two days to make the tools needed by the “weapon shop boss lady”. They
even improved the blast furnace and cleverly solved the bubbles in the traditional steelmaking castings.
The completed castings include a boring tool, a turning tool, and a milling cutter.
Although they are all castings, their strength is still very reliable. If you pay attention to maintenance and care, they will be fine for a few months.
In addition, there is a set of double-guide threaded calipers modified with screws, steel bars, and scrap gears. One side of the caliper is connected to a winch with a drive shaft and a handle.
This thing can convert torque into horizontal thrust through gears. Every time the winch rotates 1 scale, it can just push the tool holder on the caliper horizontally by one millimeter.
Although this guy is not as efficient as an electric lathe, it can still be used when processing controls with millimeter-level precision.
The only thing that Chu Guang couldn’t complain about was probably the IDs of the two brothers who completed these commissions.
One was called [Ward Foot Who Levin], and the other was called [Yaer I Want to Go to the Toilet].
What kind of hellish names…
Anyway, according to the orders at the warehouse door, the two received a huge sum of 80 silver coins, 40 each.
According to their plan, they planned to brush up on the contribution for a week first, and strive to save up 2,000 points as soon as possible, so as to buy a piece of land in front of the sanatorium. The
reward for making tools made them taste the sweetness.
They planned to open a studio at that time, specializing in metallurgy and forging.
”…Are these tools enough?” At the door of the weapon shop, Chu Guang placed the wooden basket filled with metal utensils on the table in front of Xia Yan.
Xia Yan glanced at the tools in the frame and nodded reluctantly.
”It’s OK. With these tools, at least making bullets won’t be a problem. If you can handle seamless steel pipes, I can also help you make some simple iron pipe rifles… Did you buy these?”
”The players made them.”
”Made them?” Xia Yan looked at Chu Guang in surprise, “I didn’t expect your people to have such skills.”
Chu Guang said with a smile.
”How does it compare to Boulder City?”
”Bulder City is very big, it depends on who you are comparing with.”
Xia Yan continued lightly while installing the thread caliper on the wooden table.
”It’s not all poor people like us there, there are also regular troops armed to the teeth – the militia of Boulder City. They have power armor, twin-engine aircraft, neural access drones, half-track support vehicles, and things I can’t name.”
”Oh? So strong,” Chu Guang said with a smile, “Then why haven’t I seen them fight here?”
”Who knows, maybe they are not interested, there are no good things in the countryside anyway.”
Xia Yan answered vaguely.
In fact, she didn’t finish her words. Although the militia of Boulder City did have some good things, it was obvious that not all militias were armed to the teeth.
For example, the number of power armors, as far as she knew, was only in the double digits in the entire militia, and most of them were inferior products made after the war, with relatively backward power sources and weapons.
Only a small part of them were pre-war equipment that had not yet broken down, and the power source was a He3 cold fusion battery that was sparsely populated.
As for drones, aircraft, support vehicles and the like, they sound scary, but in fact, the deterrent significance is far greater than the actual combat significance.
Especially in negative-range street fighting, cannon fodder is always the most cost-effective choice. In the slums of Boulder City, it only takes 13 years from a baby to a soldier, and the “maintenance cost” is just a nutrient paste that can be made from cockroaches, spiders, and mice. Although
Chu Guang only believed half of what this guy said, these interesting settings can be supplemented in the official website database.
Whether it is cloud players or players, they all like this kind of cake the most.
…
In the evening.
Players returned to the outpost one after another.
Chu Guang noticed that there were actually several players setting up stalls in the open space in front of the north gate of the outpost.
And the most popular stall was Ya Ya’s.
”Selling mushrooms, fresh mushrooms, don’t miss them if you pass by.”
”After a day’s work, why don’t you stew a pot of mushroom soup to reward yourself?”
”It smells so good!”
Since she couldn’t accept the task from the NPC, Ya Ya, who didn’t want to go hungry, was embarrassed to eat every day, so she had to choose to set up a stall.
In addition to the mushrooms she took to complete the punishment task, she kept about 20 kilograms for herself, and with the mentality of giving it a try, she put them on the stall and started selling them.
The players passing by quickly gathered around.
”Can you eat this mushroom?”
”Are they cooked?”
”Are they male or female?”
”Can they be used for sensitive skin?”
”Can you see the little people after eating them?”
”You can eat them, you can see them – no, no, you can’t see them! If you don’t believe me, just look!” Ya Ya picked up the mushroom and stuffed it into her mouth and ate it, then jumped on the spot to show that she was still alive, and she was not offline or dizzy.
Seeing that the stall owner had eaten it himself, the players surrounding the stall no longer hesitated and took out the copper coins in their hands.
Just as Yaya said, a pound of mushrooms is not expensive, only 3 copper coins, much cheaper than the food sold in the granary.
The new version has been online for two days, and most players can afford it.
”Give me a pound, I won’t eat meat today, try mushroom porridge.”
”Roasted mushrooms sound good too.”
”Boss, give me a pound, if it doesn’t taste good, I’ll come back to return it.”
”It’s a pity that I can’t see the villain, please give me something that can see the villain next time! I want Klee to call me husband.”
”Hello? Yaoyaoling, there’s a pervert here.”
In less than five minutes, the 20 pounds of mushrooms piled on the stall were sold out.
Looking at the handful of 60 yellow and heavy copper pieces in his hand, Yaya was so excited that tears were squeezed out.
Is this the feeling of being rich?
It’s not easy!
Although…
it’s only 6 silver coins.
On the other side, when the players who bought mushrooms passed by the weapon shop, they suddenly found that there were some tools they had never seen before on the wooden table in front of the owner of the weapon shop.
As we all know, the dog planners of Wasteland OL are quite detailed. Sharp-eyed players have recognized that the things on the table are knives for processing equipment.
In other words…
In the future, you can get materials and let NPCs help you modify your equipment? !
”Are you Kelly from the heaven?”
”Boss lady, where is the boss?”
”Stupid, she is the mercenary rescued by the manager before! There is no boss.”
”I know, but you look stupid when you are so serious.”
Xia Yan looked at the players around her with a confused face.
Although she didn’t understand what they were saying, she still remembered what Chu Guang told her, looked at them with a cool expression, and recited her lines word by word. .
”Hello, I’m Xia Yan from the weapon shop. How can I help you?”
”This NPC doesn’t look very smart.”
”Normal. For such a large server, it’s good to be able to accommodate one or two spiritual NPCs!”
”5mm smoothbore iron barrel rifle, quality [poor]… Damn, the poor quality ones cost 100 silver coins! I’m gone.”
”Oh, I can’t afford it.”
”Woo woo woo, it’s Kelly from heaven. I can feel the aura of wealth from the price list.”
Xia Yan: “…”
These people are so annoying. Why are they so talkative?
Should I buy it or not?
However, what made Xia Yan a little relieved was that these people were indeed very friendly as Chu Guang said.
Although staring at people is not polite, at least they won’t do something irrational just because they ignored them.
In the tavern in Boulder City.
99% of the fights are because A glanced at B a little more.
…
After the players went offline, there was a post on the official website of Wasteland OL, and the popularity quickly soared to the top hot post of the day.
《Mole Daily: Shelter No. 404 welcomes NPC No. 2! The weapon shop owner from the heaven (nonsense) – Xia Yan!》
Canyon Fleeing Mole: [Hello everyone, I am the red-nosed mole who escaped from the canyon. There is not enough land in the manor to plant, so I decided to hide in the wasteland for a while. 】
【Let’s get back to the point. Today, let’s talk about the newly added NPC Xia Yan! 】
【This NPC was actually online yesterday, but it was probably in the debugging stage yesterday. Although the person was sitting at the table, there was a sign of closing down at the door. Today, not only has the sign of closing down been removed, but there are also guns hanging on the shelves, and there is an extra set of tools on Boss Xia’s table! I boldly speculate that this will be your Kelly in the future. I don’t know when the iron barrel rifle with enhanced 14 will be released. (Funny)】
【In addition, I attach my own hand-painted work for reference only. If you don’t like it, please don’t spray it. 】
【Picture】
Although Wasteland OL does not support in-game screenshots, it does not prevent masters from copying the characters in the game with the drawing board in their hands.
For example, this Mole Brother, I didn’t expect that he is actually a hidden hand-painting master, and his paintings are really like the real thing.
Lao Bai: “666!”
Ye Shi: “It can be said to be exactly the same!”
Teng Teng: “Love it, sister is so cool, this is too A! (Cute) (Cute)”
Canyon Fugitive Mole: “Hehe, actually I majored in fine arts, but later I failed the entrance exam to CAFA and changed my career. I would like to give a small suggestion to the official, you can add a punk-style Z-shaped studded belt and goggles to the new NPC, and change the clothes to jeans and white shirt, it will be more cool with red hair! Of course, it’s just a suggestion.”
Quit Smoking: “Boss, draw the Dawn BOSS too! I like him more Interested! (Pathetic)”
That touch of longing: “That’s right, who wants to see the NPC in the weapon shop? I want to see what the BOSS looks like! There’s not even a browsing picture on this official website!”
Canyon Escaped Mole: “Don’t worry, I’ll draw it now. Damn, what’s so good about male NPCs? Just wait a little.”
Irena: “No hurry, I’ll be online tomorrow night anyway. (Funny)”
Quit Smoking: “&%@#!”
Today, the limelight of the official website was completely taken away by Xia Yan. Chu Guang glanced at the picture drawn by this mole brother, and then glanced at Xia Yan who was sitting in the corner reciting the lines.
It’s quite similar.
However, will it really look better if you add a belt and goggles?
As a straight man with pure blood, Chu Guang’s dressing experience is roughly equivalent to the information flow push of Xbao Xdong, and he is self-aware of this.
But he looks good in anything, so it doesn’t matter.
Noticing Chu Guang’s gaze, Xia Yan shrank back nervously.
”What, what are you doing…”
”Nothing, I just wonder how many days you haven’t changed your clothes.”
Chu Guang looked at her right leg. The wound there had basically healed, but the blood on the pants was still there, which looked a bit unhygienic.
Change, change clothes?
Xia Yan became even more nervous, her face turned pale, red in the white, and blue in the red.
”Relax, I just want to ask about your size… Tsk,” Chu Guang shook his head halfway through his words, “Forget it.” It was
indeed inappropriate to ask this question himself.
I’d better write a task and let Teng Teng measure it.
