This Game Is Too Realistic

Chapter 147.2: Expansion Update, There’s a Bug?!

...

Moreover, this punishment was not that severe. It was just deducting coins, they wouldn’t be banned. It was not a punishment at all in their opinion.

However, there was still a risk. They had to keep an eye on the official website at all times.

In case there was a sudden announcement on the official website that the bug was fixed, then there would be no point in dying no matter how creative their death was.

Killing themselves over nothing? The loss-making business was not something that players were interested in.

Looking at the players who were discussing how to abuse the bug before it was fixed under his nose, Chu Guang couldn’t help feeling that they were too naive.

Please think more about it!

With a fatherly smile on his face, Chu Guang opened his document.

If your idea is better than mine, then I’ll make changes according to what you come up with.

Late at night.

Li De was sitting in the office drinking coffee. Looking at the blowing snow outside the window, his thoughts drifted back to his distant hometown.

For the survivors in the wasteland, the heavy snow was undoubtedly a disaster.

But for those living on the Pioneer, this snow was not as shocking as the immersive dynamic wall in the crew’s bedroom.

As long as they wanted it, they could even sleep on the spire of Ideal City, overlooking the night view.

However, if fuel rods couldn’t be found, they would have to cut the crew’s non-essential energy consumption by next month at the latest.

It was really annoying.

Every time when such an announcement was made, the entire crew’s morale would be very low. Everyone would be unhappy and complain about how much better the condition back home was.

Do you think I like it being here?

However, after meeting that man, Li De recently became interested in the classical management art of the old era and its related sociological research. It was especially so when it came to boosting morale.

Those blue coats were obviously receiving far lower wages and using the most backward equipment, but they still had high morale and hope for tomorrow.

That was really puzzling to him.

He had seen slavery in city-states. Even if the slaves were equipped with bionic prosthetics, it couldn’t improve their work efficiency; it was not even as good as those non-industrial companion clones.

Taking into account the above reasons, Li De’s speculation on Shelter 404 was that it probably contained some kind of sociological research results, and the funds they obtained before the war might not be much, so there were not even the most basic steel and cement production modules.

If possible, Li De would like to learn about their art of management and ways to boost morale.

Of course, it was not necessary to use their method to manage the entire crew, but at least, he wanted to use it in the logistics department.

"Division Chief!"

Looking at the young man who ran in from the outside without knocking on the door, Li De put down the coffee in his hand and looked at him and asked, "What’s wrong?"

The young man said nervously, "There’s a lot of white smoke coming out of our ally’s camp! Maybe there’s a fire!"

What could be caught on fire in this snowy weather?

Li De was stunned for a moment, then stood up hurriedly. He followed the young man from the logistics department outside of his room, and walked across the corridor to the side facing the blue coats’ camp.

Through the porthole, he saw that in the center of the camp, a thick white fog floated up against the wind and snow, even the howling north wind could not disperse it.

The public bathroom just blocked the view, so the specific situation could not be seen.

Something must be on fire, but no open flames were seen.

Seeing that the fire was not very big, Li De breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand without thinking much.

"Send a water truck to help them."

I hope it won’t affect the collection work tomorrow.

After all, that was closely related to when they could leave.

"Yes!" The young man nodded immediately, and then hurried off.

Soon, a water truck set off from the mobile garage stationed next to the Pioneer track and headed for the operation camp.

However… When the driver of the logistics department drove the water truck to the destination, he was really dumbfounded when he saw the situation in front of him.

A group of people had built a wooden shack, and they were boiling water, kneading dough, and chopping minced meat, seemingly preparing a meal busily.

And the mighty white smoke all came out from the boiling pot...

Luca was already familiar with this driver, remembering that the young man’s name was Yuan Hao. When he saw him walking towards the camp, he immediately smiled. "You are working overtime? Anyway, you came here just at the right time. Do you want to try some steamed buns?"

Yuan Hao looked bewildered. "Steamed buns?"

"Yes, it’s in the steamer over there. It’s the food invented by our administrator!"

It didn’t matter whether the administrator invented it or not. Anyway, Luca had never seen it before, so he instinctively gave this credit directly to his master.

The driver glanced at it and found that the blue coats kneaded the white flour into a round shape, then stuffed the minced meat stuffing into it, and kneaded it into a small lump of... dough?

And they seemed to be enjoying themselves!

Yuan Hao had eaten a pie before.

The cafeteria of Pioneer not only provided healthy and nutritious meals, but also sold meat floss, caramel, and five-nut flavored pies as snacks, which could be eaten after they were heated up.

"What is the meat stuffing?"

"Bear meat! It’s the food that was just sent from the outpost!"

Yuan Hao’s eyes lit up when he heard it was a game, and he asked quickly, "How much is it?"

The game of other survivors’ settlements was unpalatable, but these blue coats were obviously better at cooking than other natives he had seen before.

Luca said according to the instructions of the administrator with a smiling face, "We are just experimenting today. So it’s free of charge. You can try it for us and tell us which one is more delicious."

As soon as the driver heard that he didn’t need to pay, he immediately took a freshly steamed bun, brought it near to his mouth and took a bite.

Mixing with the tender taste was the meaty aroma.

The driver’s eyes widened immediately.

Gobbling down the whole steamed bun into his mouth, Yuan Hao swallowed hard while giving a thumbs up and said in a muffled voice, "This! It’s delicious! It’s better than pie!"

Luca was full of joy, and he hurriedly brought another plate over.

"And this is dumpling. Its skin is thinner. You can try it too!"

Yuan Hao, whose mouth was full and couldn’t stuff anymore food in, couldn’t help but sigh while looking at the new dish.

"It’s so delicious, do you usually eat like this?"

Luca said flatteringly, "We are only able to eat like this recently, and it’s thanks to the business you brought to us that we can eat like this."

Yuan Hao smiled, not only did he not feel that he was losing money, but he felt quite comfortable after hearing what was said.

What was the use of getting such a high salary? What was the use of getting attendance allowance?

He was far from home, and he couldn’t even spend it!

Here, not only could he eat delicious food, but he could also help those poor people. He felt that not only his stomach had been satisfied, but his spirit had also been lifted.

Compared to looking for Shelter 0, that was what made him feel like being a savior!

It was a lot more satisfying than throwing money on the dance floor in a bar!

Yuan Hao said with a face of justice, "I can’t eat your food for free... How much is this bun? I want to buy 50 of them! Such a delicious snack, I have to bring some to my colleagues to try!"

"Wouldn’t 50 be a bit too much?" Luca dissuaded, "We still have dumplings, shumai, soup dumplings... these are sold by the kilogram. You should just buy a little bit first? You can freeze it if you can’t finish it, don’t waste anything."

With a wave, Yuan Hao said generously, "Then get me 50 buns first. As for those that are sold by the kilogram, I’ll take 10 kilograms each!"

"?!"

Each bun was 2CR, so 50 buns would be 100CR!

As for dumplings, soup dumplings, and spring rolls, they were sold by the kilogram. One kilogram was 10CR, so 10 kilograms each would be 300CR!

The crew members of Pioneer were so rich. They could even spend the money that was equivalent to four weeks’ living expenses of a bottom-level Enterprise employee without any hesitation.

Luca stopped persuading him. He quickly helped him pack the steamed food, stuffing them into a plastic bag, and tying it up tightly on the spot. After passing the bag to Yuan Hao, he told him to eat it while it was still hot and not to waste any food.

Yuan Hao simply nodded, before leaving some money behind. He carried the large bag of steaming food and drove the water truck back the same way he came.

Before leaving, the water in the water truck, which was originally brought over to fight fire, was also poured into the water tank on the roof of the bathroom.

Looking at the four 100CR banknotes in his hand, old Luca was excited.

As expected of his master!

They would be able to make a lot of money from those people!

The players around were talking with each other, discussing the water truck that had disappeared in the heavy snow.

"How many buns did that guy buy? Can he even finish it?!"

"Who cares. We just need to focus on making buns. After all, we can get 1 copper coin for making one bun! It’s much easier than cutting down a tree!"

"We can also get 10 reward points if we make 100 buns. This is freaking great!"
