Chapter 79. The Most Black-Hearted Boss In History

106 silver and 5 copper! This astonishingly large amount of money shocked the entire shelter.

It has only been one morning since the reward post was posted, and someone has already completed the first kill! Isn't this efficiency is little too high?

As soon as Manager turned around and left, a group of players swarmed up, surrounded The Cowboy Team, and asked questions with admiration.

"Brother! Where did you find the Predator? Did you go to the tire factory?"

"It's too strong to destroy the team without injury!"

"Boss, take me under your wing!"

Surrounded by so many players, anyone can float, let alone Walker who is running around. I saw this guy rubbed his nose with his index finger, and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Brother Tabletop Cop, our team is already full, no more people. But don't worry, Brother Tomorrow will update the strategy in the evening. It's just a few predators, as long as you have hands, you can also kill them!"

"What? You asked me how I overthrew six people? That's a long story! At that time, those six fierce and strong men were walking towards us, and they were about to spot us. I pulled out my dagger without saying a word, ready to jump and slash..."

Tomorrow glanced at him sideways, unable to complain.

Gale looked away, pretending not to recognize this guy.

Only Bunny was more upright. He couldn't bear to see this guy pretending to be there, so he stretched out his hand and dragged him away from the crowd.

"Hey, don't drag me, I haven't finished yet!"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's hurry up and prepare for the next wave!"

As the first team who kill predators, everyone in The Cowboy Team became the focus of heated discussions among other players. As for the three predators who were hanged on the tripod and the corpses sent to the active substance extractor, no one cared.

After all, Manager's envious characters have long been deeply impressed in their minds, and it is expected that they will train these people.

Not listening to Walker's bragging, Tomorrow and the others didn't stay in front of the north gate for a long time. They collected 120 silver coins with the bonus they just got, and then went straight to the weapon store.

Soon, they became the first customers of Sumeria, and bought the first 7mm bolt-action rifle sold in the entire weapon store! In addition to six 7mm steel-cored copper bullets that cost as much as 1 silver coin, and 10 cheap low-quality bullets, Tomorrow handed these things over to Walker after paying. In the case that everyone's marksmanship is similar, it is the best choice for a player of the perception department to be the shooter.

Bunny can throw a javelin, and he is also very brave in close combat. Tomorrow himself can use bows and arrows to support him. As for Gale of the intelligence department, throwing a fire bottle or sealing a thunder at the critical moment is almost the same, and it is unrealistic to expect him to output.

At least in the current version, the intelligence department is indeed a bit hip, but no one saw the future, and no one knew what would happen next. Maybe wait for which version, the intelligence department will become the father of other departments.

"...My archery skills are not bad, and this bow can last for a while. Oye, this is the only 98K in our team! Don't use it for random shooting!"

"Don't worry, bro! I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Taking it from Tomorrow's hand solemnly, Walker held the gun with a moved face, and swore that he would use it well.

With that loving look, he wished he could wipe off the paint on the gun barrel. If there is paint...

In this way, the silver coins that The Cowboy Team had just received from Manager were spent in the weapon shop before they were warmed up. Not only that, in order to replenish gunpowder, arrows and other supplies, the four of them also made some deposits. However, the four of them didn't have any distress.

Money itself is spent, invest in equipment and you can earn more money in no time. This hunt gave them a taste of the sweetness.

Except for the experience gained in the battle, as well as the rewards and contributions of the rewards, the spoils picked up by the predators are also their private property. Although they are all melee weapons and crude armor, they can still be used for a while. Even if you don't need them, it's not a problem to sell them to other players for a few silver coins.

The four people who embarked on the journey again have great ambitions and are ready to make the next vote.

It is best to come to shop this time. If you can turn over a few people with guns, then you will really get rich! A gun costs at least 100 silver coins in a weapon store, and selling it to players at a stall in the market, isn't it too much to sell 50 silver coins?

As long as it can be shot, a bunch of people will definitely come to buy it!

Tomorrow hummed a song and walked further and further away, while Lucius still stood near the weapon shop and observed the nearby players for a while.

It can be clearly felt that, stimulated by the "Wealth myth" of The Cowboy Team, many players are already ready to move, and are hesitant to use the money they saved to buy land to buy guns. Anyway, I don't have enough contribution points now, I don't have the citizen level, and I can't buy land if I have money. Why don't I buy a gun first and hunt down predators to make money and make contribution points!

Especially seeing The Cowboy Team, without a gun, they all wiped out a team. If they had a gun, they would kill them indiscriminately? Seeing that these little players were already excited, Lucius decided to add fire to their hearts.

Then Lucius waved to the lady proprietress of the weapon shop, and after gesturing for her to come over, he handed her a wooden board that had been prepared, and ordered.

"In a while, you hang this wooden sign at the door."

After taking the sign in Lucius's hand, Sumeria asked with a confused face.

"What's written on it?"

Lucius replied concisely, "All revolver rifles in this store are 10% off. The discount ends at 12 o'clock in the morning today. 15 revolver rifles are sold out, and the replenishment time is undecided."

Holding the wooden sign in his hand, Sumeria looked at him strangely.

"Is there a need for a discount? Anyway, they are all your people."

"Am I drawing those steel coins in their pockets? Superficial!" Not wanting to explain nonsense, Lucius said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense, what I ask you to do, just do that."

Maybe his wording was a little tougher. Sumeria's body visibly trembled, but she didn't dare to talk back, so she took the wooden sign and went obediently.

Satisfied with her obedient performance, Lucius nodded approvingly, and continued to stand aside, admiring his masterpiece.

As he expected, as soon as Sumeria returned to the weapon store, she hung the sign at the door. When the players who were still hesitating saw this exciting discount, they stopped hesitating and immediately took out the silver coins in their pockets. Frantically snapping up long-awaited weapons on the shelves.

The price of the revolver rifle is very cheap, 110 silver before the discount, and only 99 silver after the discount, even less than 100! And the most important thing is that the revolver is semi-automatic, as long as it is picked quickly, it can be used as a burster!

Isn't this much better than a bolt-action rifle? What you buy is what you earn!

Seeing these little players frantically buying, Lucius couldn't hold back his smile.

You'll know when they buy it. Sometimes shooting too fast is not a good thing. It's not for nothing that the price of this thing is cheaper than the bolt-action iron-barrel rifle produced in Boulder City! Of course, even with a 10% discount, players who can take out 99 silver coins at one time are still a minority.

Of the rifles sold, at least half of them were purchased by three or four regular teammates who worked together. For a standard three-person team, one gun is actually enough.

The three of them switched to play, and the other two supported them with crossbows, throwing objects, and other melee weapons. After the game was almost understood, it would not be too late for the whole team to change their guns.

In the early stage of starting a business, the conditions were a little bit difficult, so save as much as you can. Sooner or later everyone will!

Fifteen revolver rifles were snapped up quickly. Stimulated by the sales promotion, not only the broken guns seized from the predators were also sold out, but also two of the non-discounted Boulder City iron pipe rifles were also sold, and now there is only one 9mm gun left. Hanging alone on a shelf.

Those players who didn't buy guns felt a little regretful, but they weren't discouraged, and made other ideas one after another. Some active players simply took the opportunity to sell DIY weapons.

The entrance of Boss Sumeria's weapon shop suddenly turned into a large-scale py trading site.

"Is there anyone who buys the engineer's happy stick? It's super easy to use! It only costs one silver coin per stick, so hurry up if you want to buy it!"

"My god, how dare you sell a silver coin if you wrap a wire around a stick? At least tie a blade!"

"What do you know, it's called piercing + blunt damage! If you tie a blade, it's hacking damage!"

"Sorry, I choose the axe!"

"Does anyone buy a crossbow? It was produced by the carpentry hut. The original price was 20 silver, but now it only costs 15 silver, and it comes with 5 crossbow bolts. I don't need this thing to change my gun. If you want it, hurry up!"

"Can it be cheaper? I only have 14 silver in my pocket."

"Hey, forget it, just treat it as making friends."

"Steel breastplate! Do you want a breastplate of the same style as the Predator! You don't need 99 or 88, just 2 silver coins, and you can take home a hand-to-hand artifact!"

It is worth advocating that players trade with each other, but there are occasions to be distinguished. Seeing that these players who are selling and asking prices have already hindered the traffic, if they are left alone, the road to the warehouse will be blocked.

So Lucius stopped hanging up, took two steps forward and coughed heavily, and said to the group of players.

"Occupying roads is prohibited in the outpost. If you have trading needs, please go to the market in front of the north gate. This is not a place to set up a stall!"

Seeing the words of Manager, the players scattered and rushed to the north gate outside the base to continue the unfinished transaction. And with the departure of these players, the entrance of the weapon shop finally became deserted.

"Can I have a vacation? There's only one gun left on the shelf." Seeing Lucius approaching, Sumeria asked expectantly.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and I'm shivering even in a deerskin coat, and it's hard to take a nap. Compared to staying outside, Sumeria prefers to blow on the heat in the shelter. Sleeping there is much more comfortable than outside!

"Of course not, your job is not just to sell guns."

Unrelentingly rejected her naive idea, Lucius continued with a smile.

"I need you to make at least 100 rounds of ammunition before you get off work. If you can't do it, I'm afraid I'll have to let you sleep in the weapon shop tonight."

Sumeria's eyes widened and he exclaimed.

"You can't do this, I'll freeze to death!"

"Don't be so pitiful, you can't freeze to death before it is below zero. How did you survive before? Didn't Luka also sleep in the hut next to the warehouse? Don't worry, I will prepare a warm blanket for you, And plenty of charcoal. But remember not to close the door too tightly when burning that thing, it will be safer if there is a little wind."

Looking at the poor Sumeria, Lucius had an innocent expression on his face, "Don't look at me like that, I'm doing this for your own good, lest you get too bored and doze off, and fall asleep here and catch a cold easily."

"You big profiteer! Black-hearted boss! as if I believe you!"

Seeing that it was useless to pretend to be pitiful, Sumeria, whose nature was exposed, gritted his teeth for a while, but in the end there was nothing he could do about Lucius. Her intuition told her that he could really do it.

"Okay...100, right? Just wait some hours!"

"Isn't that right? People have to work when they are alive. If you want to be more open, at least rubbing bullets is not life-threatening... If you are careful," Lucius reminded Sumeria in a caring tone while looking at the frustrated Sumeria. "By the way, I will spot check the quality, I advise you not to think about it."

"Of course, if your performance is very good, such as... completing 50 additional bullets, and the quality is acceptable, I will reward you."

As soon as he heard the reward, Sumeria, who was still depressed a second ago, regained his energy in an instant, and looked up expectantly.

"What reward? Chocolate?"

"No chocolate, but there are still some chocolate-flavored lollipops."

This guy is completely in love with chocolate...

Seeing Sumeria who has picked up the tools in a hurry and started to work hard, Lucius nodded with satisfaction, and finally left with peace of mind.

On the other side, the players in front of the north gate did not delay for a moment after completing the transaction, and rushed to the outside of Wetland Park under the stimulation of the bounty.

They spread out north along the elevated, sweeping the trails of predators.

It frightened Mossi who was lurking in the north of the abandoned construction site. He was afraid that he would startle the snake, which would affect the offensive at night, so he led his people back for a kilometer before stopping.

Although it is a pity that no predators were found, only some mutant mice, cockroaches, and hyenas were caught, but these little players did not get nothing. Before dark, they still hunted a lot of prey and came back, enriching a wave of granaries.

Compared with a week ago, the difficulty of hunting is indeed much higher now. There are signs that migrating deer are leaving Spring's northern suburbs and heading south along the fringes of the city. It was so cold that even the hyenas were hiding in their dens.

It is already a bit unrealistic to expect to encounter a few wandering mutant hyenas just like before. What players encounter more often in urban areas are nibblers who have no hunting value.

As it got darker and earlier, these photophobic aliens became more active than before, and this also brought a lot of difficulty to the players' hunting. Like zombies, they will emerge from the shadows, lock their prey and swarm up. It is difficult to deal with narrow urban terrain and ruined terrain.

The night gradually darkened. The urban area outside the Wetland Park was the first to be shrouded in darkness. The players who went out returned one after another, and the outpost became lively.

As before, these players set up stalls in front of the north gate, shouted loudly, and traded today's harvest with others. The more active young players are no longer just selling materials, but simply started catering.

For example, Yaya who sells mushrooms. This little player is getting better and better, so she bought a big pot, lit a fire with charcoal, and started to stew at the stall in front of the north gate.

The price is 2 copper coins for a bunch of roasted mushrooms, and 3 copper coins for a bowl of mushroom soup-you need to bring your own bowl.

"Sell mushrooms, fresh mushroom soup, and roasted mushrooms, come and buy duck."

A large circle of people surrounded the booth.

"Boss Yaya, can your mushrooms dance?"

"Can you sing some kind of the power buff Mantra?"

"Can it be released after it's cooked?"

"Can you stew a paemon in a pot?"

"Boss Yaya, can you act as if you stew yourself in an iron pot?"

"Do you want me to die!!"

I have to admit that the taste of this mushroom soup is really delicious. Even Lucius was greedy, so he couldn't help but bought two bowls, and brought one bowl to Sumeria.

Sitting in front of the weapon shop rubbing bullets all day, Sumeria's fingers turned red from rubbing, and her stomach was growling, feeling aggrieved. Seeing the hot mushroom soup that Lucius handed over, the little girl was moved to tears, picked up the bowl and gulped it down.

"What kind of soup is this! Woohoo, it's so delicious!"

Lucius had a kind smile on his face.

"A bowl of ordinary mushroom soup, don't worry, I invite you."

"How can you be so good?" Sumeria held the bowl in his hand and looked at him suspiciously, "I always feel that something is wrong. Is there something you are hiding from me?"

"Am I that kind of person?"

Seeing that she even licked the bowl clean, Lucius waited for a while before picking up his own bowl and taking a small sip.

Ok.

The taste is really good, it tastes like chicken soup, is it the legendary chanterelle mushroom? Unexpectedly, there are many good things in this forest.

Just put less salt.

...

Outside the fence.

Forty young men with shovels finally received today's wages after finishing the last shovel in the trench. A total of 10 silver coins, plus 100 contribution points. For novices, this income can be said to be quite considerable.

Standing on the edge of the trench with a shovel stuck in his feet, 'Keeping People Under The Knife' looked excited, and spoke to these newcomers in an impassioned voice.

"Congratulations, you have proved your loyalty with your actions!"

"Look under our feet and behind us, this trench will become our strongest first line of defense, and this is the joint achievement of you and me!"

Knife's brother said everything Lucius originally wanted to say in an impassioned voice.

After thinking about it, there was nothing to add. Lucius walked up to these disgraceful young players who were full of joy, and skillfully made a summary.

"Welcome to the wasteland."

"From now on, this is your second home."

Announced dissolution. The newbies rushed to the market at the north gate, and they couldn't wait to take the money to spend.

Many people are already hungry. Digging trenches here doesn't take care of the food, only real ghosts can do this job!

The bustle lasted until late at night, and as the gate closed, the bustling sound gradually subsided a little. On the walls are guards standing guard. Inside the walls is a bustling industrial area.

Lucius, who was sitting on the third floor of the nursing home, yawned, looked at the time behind Popo, and found that it was already twelve o'clock before he knew it.

Twelve o'clock in the morning. The first late-night shift has begun.

Lucius stood up from the grand teacher's chair that Mosquito made for him, stretched his waist, and stretched out his arms to hug Popo.

"Let's go, take you to charge."

"Master."

"What's wrong?"

"It is about 521 meters away from our north wall, and there are about 11 people. There are also 10 people who have circled to our northwest side and are moving west. The straight-line distance is 611 meters."

"...What?" Lucius, who was holding Popo, was stunned for a moment, subconsciously stretched his neck, and looked out the window, "I didn't see anything."

Popo tilted the camera and answered naturally.

"Because my camera can capture infrared light. Generally speaking, most cameras can do it, right?"

"...?"

F*ck?

Engage in a sneak attack? Lucius, who was still a little sleepy at first, was no longer sleepy in an instant.
