This Game Is Too Realistic

In Boulder Town’s militia, there were a small number of exoframes, but those were strategic reserves, and even if they were broken, they wouldn’t flow into the market. Some larger mercenary groups or military contractors may have one or two sets, but they were basically used like treasures.

Seeing the fleeting envy in Liszt’s eyes, Chu Guang smiled in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.

Having been an NPC for so long, plus his experience in sales before his death, he still had the ability to control his expressions. "Disturb us? Not at all. Seeing you here, I know the northern suburbs of Clearspring City are about to get lively."

Hearing Chu Guang’s humorous remark, Liszt smiled and said. "Not to boast, but we are definitely the first group of caravans to set off in the entire Boulder Town! At least the first group to go north! When other merchants were still planning where to make a fortune, we had already explored the road conditions, packed the goods and hung them on the back of the two-headed oxen."

Chu Guang asked with interest, "Oh? What good things did you bring this time?"

I was waiting for this!

Liszt was overjoyed, and calmly took out a tablet and handed it to Chu Guang with both hands. "As before, here is the list of goods!"

"We have everything listed on the first five pages with us. Although we didn’t take the marked ones after page five on the road, as long as you are interested, we can find a way to help you get them!"

Chu Guang took over the tablet and swiped his index finger on the screen.

Unlike the list of commodities he had seen last time, what Liszt’s caravan brought this time were all weapons this time, as well as the KV-1 exoskeletons.

To be honest, aside from the exoskeletons and solid-state hydrogen batteries that could be used to power exoskeletons and drones, Chu Guang was not very interested in the weapons on the list.

Things like assault rifles, grenades, rocket launchers… The new industrial zone had long been able to produce them independently.

Besides, he could tell that Liszt was really dishonest. All he had were cheap ones assembled from receivers and barrels that were eliminated by the Boulder Town arsenal.

Now even amongst newcomers, only a few would genuine wasteland specialties like them.

Looking at Liszt’s eager face, Chu Guang had an idea, and he asked casually, "Why are there only weapons on the list? Didn’t you bring anything else?"

Liszt was dazed for a moment.

Chu Guang’s reaction surprised him.

Originally in his expectation, those blue coats should be very interested in his weapons.

After all, the last time he came here, he used four cheap ones to exchange for 12 high-quality deerskins.

However, the expression on Chu Guang’s face, no matter how he interpreted it, was difficult to see a trace of interest.

"We carry weapons, of course, because they sell well. With the turmoil in the River Valley Province, the looting of the Bonechewer Clan, and the smell of gunpowder everywhere, what could be more sought-after than weapons?"

Seeing that Chu Guang was still not interested, Liszt tried his best to sell. "I sincerely recommend the Drone X-2 assault rifle on the list! This is the culmination of the light arms technology of the Boulder Town arsenal! If it weren’t for the backlog of inventory that has been piling up all winter, I would not have been able to get this much goods."

"Because you are my old customer, I can sell it to you at a discounted rate! Only 300 chips for a gun! With it, you will have the most powerful firepower in the entire northern suburbs! If you really don’t know what to choose, it can’t go wrong with this product!"

Hearing Liszt’s remarks, Chu Guang almost burst out laughing.

If he hadn’t seen Enterprise’s Black Swan G9 assault rifle, he would have almost believed the dude’s nonsense.

The culmination of technology my ass.

Isn’t this thing copied from Enterprise’s standard weapons?

Although his LD series weapons were also inspired by the AK family, those ideals were borrowed from another world, and they could be considered independent research and development in this world.

"Your ability to sense business opportunities seem to have become rustier now," Chu Guang smiled at Liszt, and chuckled in a relaxed tone, "To be honest, if this was before the winter, I would probably bite my teeth and buy two rifles from you, but now we don’t need this stuff anymore."

"Don’t need it?! Why don’t you need it?" Liszt looked at Chu Guang with a surprised look on his face, and continued quickly. "Even without the people from Bloodhand Clan, the entire northern suburbs are still not safe! My friend, you may not know that a group of marauders who call themselves Bonechewer Clan are advancing towards the northern suburbs of Clearspring City. Those people are not the same as Bloodhand Clan. Not only do they inherit the Army’s equipment, but they are also numerous and powerful. Do you think you can drive them away with just a few iron-barreled rifles?"

Seeing Liszt’s eagerness to sell himself, Chu Guang couldn’t help but feel a little funny.

It appeared that Boulder Town had no idea what was going on in the northern suburbs.

Of course, it was also possible that Liszt just didn’t know.

Recently, Little Seven had been monitoring the Voice of Boulder Town, searching for useful information from the eloquent host.

From all the signs, it seemed that they did not know the news that the brigade led by Black Snake had been defeated by them.

Thinking of this, Chu Guang looked at Liszt and continued, "Come with me. Once you’ve seen our stuff, you’ll see why I’m not interested in what’s on your list."

...

The west gate of the outpost.

With suspicion, Liszt followed Chu Guang over.

Summoning the guards on the side, Chu Guang took an LD-47 assault rifle from him and handed it to Liszt who was standing on the side. "LD-47, Sickle assault rifle, 7mm. We used it against marauders, mutant humans, Crunchers, Creepers and even Tyrants.”

Taking the rifle that Chu Guang handed over, Liszt held it in his hand and looked at it for a while. Then he looked at Chu Guang in surprise. "Did you make this gun yourself?"

Chu Guang nodded. "Yes."

Liszt thought for a while and gave his assessment. "The structure looks very simple, and there are few internal parts that can be seen from outside. The butt of the gun is actually made of wood."

Chu Guang said nonchalantly, "Simple doesn’t mean it’s not useful. Want to try it?"

Liszt looked at him and asked. "Is it okay?"

Chu Guang didn’t say much nonsense, and directly handed him a full magazine and made a gesture of invitation. "Please."

Liszt didn’t decline it. He loaded the magazine, released the safety, aimed at a target 100 meters away, and pulled the trigger.

The huge recoil was transmitted to his shoulders, shaking his body.

However, after so many years in the wasteland, Liszt still had some skills.

He soon got used to the recoil of the weapon, and then fired a few more shots, hitting the center of the target with precision.

"This is a good gun!" Liszt’s eyes lit up, and then he fired at the target again.

It was not until the last bullet in the magazine was emptied that Liszt returned the rifle in his hand to Chu Guang without hesitation. "It’s a good gun!"

"The only downside is that it’s a bit more difficult to control! But the firepower is indeed strong enough, and it should be very popular with those mercenaries.”

"But you shouldn’t have many such weapons, right?"

Not many?

Chu Guang smiled. "I don’t know if it’s a lot, but we still have a bunch of rifles like this in our warehouse. Not only that, we also designed special replaceable accessories for it. Replacing the barrel and drum, it will become a light machine gun. Taking the barrel off, it can be used as a submachine gun."

"Although this thing isn’t very technical, it’s absolutely reliable. We’ve tried burying it in snow, throwing it into a mud puddle, and soaking it in water, but after taking it out, it can still fire normally."

There’s still a pile in the warehouse?!

Liszt swallowed and couldn’t help speaking, "That many? Have you been making guns all winter?"

Chu Guang explained with a faint smile, "You haven’t been here for a long time, it’s normal for you to be unfamiliar with what’s going on here."

More than just being unfamiliar, Liszt almost felt that he had come to the wrong place!

Looking at Liszt who was so surprised that he was lost for words, Chu Guang paused for a moment and continued in a chatty tone, "The change in the northern suburbs is not just the small place under your feet. 5 kilometers north of here is our new industrial area, where the industrial products produced are enough to supply the entire northern suburbs survivor settlement. This rifle, and the bullets that were just fired, were all produced there."

"In addition to the industrial area, we also have an agricultural area. Continuing to walk 5 kilometers north from the industrial area is our granary in the northern suburbs! There are millions of square meters of farmland under cultivation, and it will become the largest grain production base in the entire northern suburbs in the future, and can solve the problem of feeding at least 30,000 people."

"Mr. Liszt, times have changed, it’s year 212 of the Wasteland Era, we should learn to look forward, shouldn’t we?"

Although there was an element of exaggeration in this statement, there was nothing wrong with the rest of it.

After all, Chu Guang really planned to do so.

In the future industrial area, the industrial products produced would not only be supplied to the survivor settlements throughout the northern suburbs, but would also be sold to more distant places.

He wasn’t lying. Chu Guang was just stating a blueprint for the future.

Liszt swallowed, unable to recover from Chu Guang’s words for a long time.

Industrial area?

Northern suburbs?

Relying on those hillbillies who don’t know how to read?

Liszt couldn’t imagine how the conditions in the northern suburbs could satisfy the conditions for industrial development.

Relying on those uneducated refugees of varying quality?

Do they know what an industry is?

Do they know what standardization is?

Or do they rely on the blue coats who would complain incessantly when just doing a little bit of work and clamor for the resumption of the 2-hour workday?

One thing Liszt was willing to admit, though, was that the blue coats here did look a little special. Apart from wearing blue coats, they didn’t look like shelter residents at all.

Chu Guang expected the expression of suspicion on Liszt’s face. After all, it did sound a bit bizarre.

Such a shrewd merchant couldn’t be persuaded just because of his own words.

"There is still a little time before it is completely dark. If you are interested, I can take you to see it."

Hearing Chu Guang’s invitation, Liszt was stunned. "Wouldn’t… Wouldn’t this be inappropriate?"

"Nonsense." Chu Guang smiled lightly. "It’s not something to be kept secret anyway."

Hearing what Chu Guang said, Liszt said immediately without any hesitation, "Please show me around!"

Before seeing Chu Guang, Liszt just wanted to make a fortune from the turbulent situation in the River Valley Province by reselling the backlog of cheap arms in the inventory to these local rich owners in the northern suburbs. But now, he no longer was no longer interested in that petty profit.

A young and potential force was rising from this wasteland! And its leader was not only bold and capable, but also full of ambition.

Liszt smelled a huge business opportunity!

Intuition told him that if he could seize this opportunity, no matter whether the guy in front of him succeeded or not, he would be able to earn a fortune that he could never imagine before!

This was far from the comparison of twelve deerskins and a bag of mushrooms!

...

In Liszt’s great anticipation, Chu Guang soon took him to an industrial area 5 kilometers away.

Although night had fallen, it was still brightly lit in the industrial area and the production work was still going on.

Getting out of the truck at the gate of the industrial area, Liszt was quickly stunned by what he saw.

Everything here was far more shocking than what he saw in Linghu Wetland Park!

Tall chimneys erected from the rooftops of the factory buildings, and thick smoke was constantly being blown out. The goods and raw materials produced piled up into hills in the warehouse.

Every now and then someone pushed a trolley, sending goods from one workshop to another.

Especially after visiting the production workshop of the LD-47 receiver and bullets, Liszt’s was full of shock.

The stamping equipment, attached to the conveyor belt, was like a printer, printing out the parts one by one.

While similar devices were not uncommon at the Boulder Town factory, it was hard to imagine that they developed these in just a single winter.

Did these industrial equipment and production methods fall from the sky?!

Liszt suddenly thought of the Pioneer, which had passed by the northern suburbs of Clearspring City.

There was only one explanation.

They were sponsored by Enterprise!

"... It used to be the Bloodhand Clan’s stronghold here, but then we took out those nasty people and sent them where they were supposed to be."

"Then, we remodeled the entire factory, smelted the scavenged waste into steel, aluminum, or other alloys, and used them to make weapons, production machinery, and anything else that could help us rebuild our homes."

"Although the facilities here are not as good as the ones in Boulder Town, we also have things that Boulder Town does not have. Such as convenient transportation, cheap labor, and raw material costs."

"This place will become prosperous soon, and it’s definitely not going to lose to any survivor colony in the River Valley Province. Now is the best time to get in, and I’m only telling you for the sake of an old friend. Investing in us at this time is definitely a sure-fire deal.”

"If you miss it, you may have to wait for years."

Looking at the confident expression on Chu Guang’s face, although Liszt’s intuition told him that this guy was probably fooling him, he still couldn’t help asking, "How should I invest?"

After finally hearing the sentence he wanted to hear, a happy smile appeared on Chu Guang’s face. "It’s very simple, we offer two win-win solutions. Whether you choose to contribute money or effort, or both, I can assure you that both will prove to be wise business decisions!
