Chapter 296.1: Order Of The White Bear
In the North of Dawn City.
In the trading post of Longevity Town.
Standing next to an Electric Mule full of goods, Sisi stroked her chin in thought for a long time, and suddenly tapped her right fist on her palm. "How about calling it the Bear-Cat Merchant? We have both a bear and a cat."
Sitting on the floor, Roshan shook her head repeatedly. "No no, calling it Bear-Cat would make other people think of a different animal."
What Sisi didn’t expect was that not only Roshan, but even Tail raised her hand to object. "That’s right! Sisi’s and my names don’t appear at all!"
Sisi mumbled, "Uh, I think you can just add your own name, I don’t mind..."
Tail said with a serious expression, "How can that be! We must think of a name that everyone can appear in!"
"Er..." Sesame Paste raised her hand and said in a low voice, "let’s make it clear first, I’m not a permanent member of this group... So you don’t have to include mine."
Although it was fun to play with everyone, she really preferred a more leisurely way of playing the game than setting up a mercenary group and becoming a star pirate to conquer the universe.
For example, riding a motorcycle to deliver goods to various survivor strongholds in the wasteland was quite good.Not only could she see the different scenery of this vast world, but she could also meet many people who she couldn’t get in touch with in reality, and she could also make money from it. It was just that transportation in the game was too expensive, so she had to save a little.
"3 votes to 1 vote? I see, so the minority lost again," Sisi sighed, "Say can’t we discuss this after we set off?"
"It’s about a sense of ceremony, you know? Sigh, you women are not fun at all. If we don’t choose a name before we hit the road, how are we going to introduce ourselves when we encounter marauders?" Tail with arms folded said like a wise old master, and then her eyes suddenly lit up. "How about the Tail Adventure Group?"
Roshan stopped her quickly. "Wait, what about me? Didn’t you say a moment ago that everyone’s name should all be included?"
"Hehe, I forgot." Tail chuckled foolishly.
Sisi coughed lightly, "This is really troublesome… Let’s just call it Roro Riders. Since we all take turns riding Roro, we are all Roro Riders. From now on, Roro is the leader. This perfectly solves this problem."
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, the big white bear raised its paw again. "Wait a minute, although, although I don’t mind acting as a mount, this is too weird!"
"Yes, I also feel that it’s weird too. It’s as if Roro is a cu– dumpster."
With a serious face, Tail made a shocking comment, and before Roshan could react, she proposed another name, "How about the Order of the White Bear?!"
Maybe they had been entangled with this issue for too long, or maybe it was because the name sounded indeed much cooler, even Roshan didn’t reject it.
That way, the Order of the White Bear was formally established.
Sisi used the remaining money to buy a Maxim II machine gun.
Unlike the Maxim that showed its power in the Tide before, the directors of Steel Plant 81 copied the air-cooled structure of MG42, redesigned the replaceable barrel according to the combat environment needs on the wasteland, and increased the caliber to 10mm.
The 10 x 100mm machine gun bullet now had X-4 fiber added to the charge, so its single-shot penetration was not weaker than the 12.7 x 108mm large-caliber machine gun bullet of the heavy machine gun.
It was more than enough to suppress the multi-legged beasts that looked like tentacle monsters in the wild, as well as the huge monsters with big health bar and high attack damage.
The workers sent by Steel Plant 81 not only welded it on the roof of the vehicle for them, but also welded the steel plates for bulletproofing.
Every time she dealt with the factory directors of Steel Plant 81, Sisi couldn’t help feeling that the Lifestyle Profession players in this game were really getting more and more capable.
"There are also bazookas! Don’t forget them!" Tail carried a wooden box into the car, which contained 3 RPG fragmentation rounds and armor-piercing rounds.
With those weapons, an electric powered armored transport vehicle was completed!
"Speaking of which… Would there be a problem with the battery life of this electric truck?" Sesame Paste looked at the stuffed goods in the truck with some concern, the cat ears on the top of her head twitched slightly.
There were no charging stations on the wasteland.
According to their experience in reality, the battery life of electric vehicles did not seem to be very long.
Sisi patted her on the shoulder. "Emmm... It’s the battery in a sci-fi game. Although I don’t know what a solid-state hydrogen battery is, it still doesn’t have a problem to last for 2 round trips. So don’t worry about using it."
The actual distance from Longevity Town to Red River Town was less than 100 kilometers, and to go further places, it was enough to prepare just a spare battery or generator.
Not only were there no charging stations in the wasteland, there were also no gas stations. So gasoline-powered trucks were not the best choice for small-scale transportation without oil trucks. After all, biomass fuel had to go through a series of processing and refining to become gasoline, but wood that could generate electricity was everywhere.
After the decline of civilization and the end of the severe cold winter, the first thing to occupy the city was the lush vegetation, and then the Mutant Slime Mold.
"Be careful on the road." Standing in front of the booth, Frost River waved her hand lightly, and gave her blessings to these adventurers with a smile.
This was already the third caravan formed by shelter residents she sent away.
Previously, the merchants in the trading post were mostly the traveling merchants from Red River Town, including large caravans like the Horseshoe Merchants Association.
But recently, the number of residents from the shelter in the trading post had also begun to increase.
They would usually choose to purchase LD-47 rifles and 7mm full-power bullets with stable prices as trade goods, and Red River Town, which was relatively closer to Dawn City and had a strong demand for weapons, would be their first choice of destination.
Frost River skillfully controlled the VM with her index finger, signed, and uploaded the purchase list. These data would be checked by the management staff of the day and recorded as her performance for the day.
At the same time, these data would be automatically synchronized to the central server of the shelter after being checked, and on the processor with overwhelming computing power, the data submitted by the AI, which was close to full artificial intelligence, would be cross-checked with the data submitted by the inventory department and production department.
Even if a bullet was missing, it could be found out at which link it was lost and who was in charge.
The highly AI-based management model technically replaced a large number of middle-level managers who needed management experience, making the entire management system simpler.
And this system had relatively low professional requirements for lower-level staff. They only needed to master the foolproof operation process of a VM and be familiar with specific job responsibilities to ensure the stable operation of the entire system.
At the same time, the administrator could also get the most accurate first-hand data, and formulate specific macro strategies based on the most accurate situation.
At present, the literacy rate of the New Alliance was less than 30%, and this was even after half a year of implementation of literacy classes and evening school education.
It was also the improvement method that Chu Guang made by referring to the Federation’s Future Municipal technology.
For the era before the Prosperity Era, completing this system might require hundreds of programmers to work overtime for a year or more.
But for Little Seven, who had almost full artificial intelligence, it only needed a little time to communicate with the administrator.
...
On the fourth day of Beta 0.2 release.
The number of players becoming a Traveling Merchant had reached 417, and the number of players joining the Corps System had reached nearly 657, while the rest were either players who had formed a fixed way of playing the game, or laid-back casual players and newcomers who had not yet met the conditions.
It was impossible for a game to please everyone, but it could make those who did enjoy it to be more enthusiastic.
Chu Guang was pleased to see that the abnormal prices before had finally returned to normal.
Finally, the aboriginal people could also enjoy the delicacies of the other world, and the Lifestyle Profession players who were spoiled by the Combat Profession players finally stepped out of their comfort zone, upgrading their equipment, expanding production, and expanding the market.
The newbie graduation outfit displayed in the NPC store, which was the Light Cavalry exoskeleton, sold 40 sets in just 3 days, and 12 Electric Mule light trucks worth 50,000 were also sold.
The number was still increasing.
What do you think?
