Chapter 67 Generators and Exoskeletons

"This game is too real" Find the latest chapter!

Outside the South Gate.

Twenty or so yaks were driven by nine well-equipped gunmen and stopped fifty meters away from the South Gate.

Without a foundation of trust, this is a relatively safe distance for both parties.

There were many players nearby, some cutting trees, some transporting stones, and when they saw this group of people, they stopped their work, watched from a distance, and whispered quietly.

"Look at that guy's arm, is it a prosthesis?"

"What prosthesis? That thing is a mechanical prosthesis!"

"Fuck, what's the difference?"

"The difference is... it's more cyberpunk to say that. And look at the eyes of the second guy on the left, they are all mechanical structures! I bet they are not just mechanical prostheses, they must have implanted plug-ins or bionic organs installed!"

"Did you see their guns? That scorpion-shaped barrel is so cool!"

"Wow, when can I buy such a cool weapon?"

"Don't think too much, the game officials are just showing it to you now, and you have to be at least level 10 before you can afford it."

The people in the caravan were the same, looking at these blue coats with a strange look on their faces.

They have been to many places with their boss, and the farthest place they have been to is even the prosperous Far East coast. They have to count the shelters they have seen along the way with at least two hands, but they have never seen such a weird one.

"What are they doing?"

"Building a house, I guess."

"Don't they live underground?"

"...Maybe they've had enough?"

"Maybe the coat was picked up."

Liszt didn't care what the people in front of him thought, his face was full of impatience.

These country folk who had never seen the world were like this, curious about everything, wanting to see everything, and didn't care whether it was polite to stare at others.

However, their blue coats were a bit interesting, and I had never heard of a shelter near Linghu Wetland Park.

However, seeing how hard they were working to build a house, it seemed that it was also a small community shelter with a low level of protection, usually accommodating between 1 and 100 people. This kind of shelter usually does not have a fully circular ecosystem, and at most has a few hibernation capsules.

I think either the food was eaten up, or the electricity in the shelter was used up, so they had to come out to make a living.

Maybe a new location has been added to his trade map.

Liszt thought to himself.

At this time, Xu Hu had already trotted to the south gate and said to Chu Guang who came out.

"Brother Chu, I'm bringing Mr. Li's caravan here... Be careful."

The scavengers on Bet Street didn't know Lister's full name.

For them, this big shot was at the same level as the mayor, and he wouldn't talk nonsense to them at all. Only Brother Chu was more approachable. Not only did he live with people like them as neighbors for a while, but he didn't turn his face against them after leaving.

"I'll be careful."

Chu Guang nodded, showing that he understood, and then walked forward with several players.

Seeing that the plot was triggered, the surrounding players quieted down one after another, and those who didn't quiet down were also pulled by other players next to them.

"I always thought you were a scavenger from Beth Street. It seems I was wrong." Lister smiled faintly and said in a happy tone, "It seems I made another correct investment."

"I'm glad you think so," Chu Guang gestured to the player next to him to put the sack on the ground, and said without nonsense, "These are the goods you want, you can weigh them."

Lister made a gesture to his subordinates next to him.

The man with electronic eyes and mechanical prosthesis understood, stepped forward, stretched out his alloy right hand to lift the sack, then looked back at his boss and nodded.

Lister's face showed a happy smile.

"Very good, you fulfilled your promise, it seems I didn't make a wasted trip."

As he said, he signaled several other subordinates to unload the goods ordered by Chu Guang from the cow's back and move them to the sack next to the blue umbrella mushroom.

Among them, the 10W firewood generator was disassembled into parts and loaded in two boxes. In another box that was half a person's height, there was a V-1 powered exoskeleton.

"There is an instruction manual in the box. We purchase directly from the manufacturer and do not provide assembly services. We only guarantee that every part mentioned in the manual is in the box... Actually, there are not many. You can count them on the spot. The exoskeleton is already assembled. You can open it and try it."

Even if he didn't say it, Chu Guang would do it.

After all, there is no such thing as after-sales service in the wasteland.

First, he took the instruction manual to count the parts of the generator twice, and then Chu Guang took the exoskeleton out of the box and put it on.

This thing is very light, with a total weight estimated to be less than 30 kilograms, and it really looks like a skeleton.

It can be said that all the places that should be exposed are exposed, and the places that should not be exposed are also exposed. The only place that looks a little stronger may be the humerus on the arm and the alloy ribs on the chest guard.

"You'd better not expect it to help you block bullets. The main structure of the V-1 powered exoskeleton is made of aluminum alloy and a small amount of special plastic steel. It is characterized by its excellent lightweight and power design. The twelve motor groups can respond in milliseconds and provide the user with an additional load of 200 kilograms."

"In addition, there is a battery life of up to 12 hours and an adaptive gait system... Of course, these are the most basic. You can refer to the manual for details."

"If you must use it to fight, remember to install more steel plates on it. I have seen mercenaries do this at the cost of sacrificing some mobility."

Chu Guang read the manual carefully.

In summary, this thing is a good bricklayer. It has good endurance, explosive power, and mobility. As for basic protection, it has almost no basic protection, but the skeleton design provides users with imagination. If necessary, they can weld steel plates or weapons on it.

It is equivalent to the engine of a tank and the chassis of a tractor.

Maybe the former was produced too much and couldn't be sold, so they simply modified it and sold it cheaply to mercenaries or coolies.

Chu Guang estimated that the cost of this thing would not be too high. It was probably the kind that Xia Yan could afford if he tried to save some money before he was planted here.

Chu Guang even began to doubt whether this thing was really worth 800 chips?

You have to know that the chips issued by Boulder City have relatively strong purchasing power.

"Have you finished trying it? I have to remind you that the battery life is only 12 hours, and you don't need to turn it on all the time. Turn off the power when not in use, just as exercise." Liszt saw Chu Guang trying it endlessly and couldn't help urging him.

He stayed here for one more second, which was a time cost. Since the transaction was completed, he was about to leave.

"I'm done trying it... I'm quite satisfied." Chu Guang nodded, turned off the power, and took off the exoskeleton.

This thing can be sold to players in the future.

I believe that with their creativity, they can play this thing out of the ordinary.

If he has a chance, he will organize a caravan to go to Boulder City to buy a batch of goods. It would be best if he could exchange the remaining blue mushrooms. He should be able to exchange for more than what he bought from Lister.

Lister didn't know what Chu Guang was thinking at the moment. In his opinion, 20 kilograms of blue mushrooms were the total output of this survivor base in the past half month, and it was very likely that several lives were spent to exchange them.

He exchanged so many good things with a firewood generator and an exoskeleton. For him, this trip was not in vain.

"Happy cooperation! By the way, do you need anything else? I still have some good things left. Salt, weapons, and some daily necessities, take a look, there will always be something you can use. Even if you can't use it, your partners should also need it."

When saying this, Lister raised his voice intentionally or unintentionally.

However, to his surprise, the people around him did not react to his words at all, and still looked at this side with an expression of watching the fun.

"What did P say then?"

"I don't know, who cares what he said, just watch it as a movie without subtitles."

"Awesome, our manager got an exoskeleton!"

"Work hard, and try to get him a full set of power armor, isn't that much cooler than an exoskeleton?"

"To be honest, the details of this game are really awesome. Players' behavior will promote the progress of the game, and the progress of the game will promote the prosperity of the base, and P's equipment will also change accordingly, it's really one thing after another!"

"Please ask the operation team to quickly launch the public beta! I'll go straight to V10!"

Lister's face was full of confusion.

"?"

What are these people talking about.

There can't be even one person interested in what he sells, right?

Chu Guang held back his laughter and coughed lightly, ending his embarrassment.

"We can talk about the transaction."

"But I don't have much bargaining chips here, I'm afraid I can only barter with you."

"It doesn't matter," Lister restrained his dazed expression, came back to his senses and continued, "Barter, this is exactly what I expect."

In addition to the generators and exoskeletons ordered before, Lister's caravan brought a lot of good things.

For example, some 9 or 7 bolt-action rifles.

Chu Guang discovered that most of the things this guy sells are the tail goods and parts eliminated by the Boulder City Military Factory, bought at a low price and dragged to a small workshop for processing and modification.

For example, the barrel of the 9 iron barrel rifle is obviously the same model as the 9 pistol that Xia Yan used before, and even the rifling threads match.

The receiver is even more interesting.

The receiver of the 9 iron barrel rifle is highly similar to that of the 9 pistol, and it is almost the same gas-operated structure. The former only has one less piston than the latter. It is equivalent to a semi-automatic to burst, with a longer barrel and a 90-degree unlock.

To describe it in game terms, the jam rate is reduced, the accuracy at medium distance is improved, and the power at medium and close distance is slightly improved.

The barrel and receiver of the 7-barrel iron rifle are very similar to the 7-barrel assault rifle that Xia Yan repaired before, with almost the same idea, automatic to bolt action, and continuous to single shot.

Anyway, the rate of fire is not very meaningful to the survivors in the countryside. Cheap, easy to use and powerful are the choices of most wastelanders.

After some selection, Chu Guang bought two bolt-action iron rifles of two calibers.

Although Lister insisted on the unit price of 200 chips at the beginning, when Chu Guang told the "secret" of these two rifles and said that a well-made assault rifle can be bought in the store for only 150 chips, Lister finally relented.

By the way, this price was pried out from Xia Yan.

"You don't know... what we went through along the way to transport these things from Boulder City! There are countless alien species and bandits hidden in these ruins, and I only want 150 chips to deliver them to you. Is this too much? Not at all!"

"We like to do business with honest people. The assault rifle on the shelf with a label of 150 chips is worth at most 50 chips for its receiver and barrel, and what is your cost? Only 30 or even 20 at most. After all, I didn't expect you to use the best parts to make these things. Most of them are the leftovers from the production line."

"This is slander!" Lister blushed and looked angry, obviously being hit on the mark.

Chu Guang smiled and said.

"I prefer to call it a rational analysis. By the way, migrating reindeer are different from hyenas. They don't belong here, and they won't go deep into the city. Instead, they move southeast along the edge of Qingquan City. Let me guess... wild animal skins should sell well in your place, right? Why don't you buy some deer skins and bring them back? You should be able to make a fortune."

If it's just for a few pieces of garbage, there's no need to run north. After all, there are obviously more good things to be found in the city full of ruins.

Liszt said with a stiff expression.

"I know, you don't need to teach me."

"How about 8 deerskins for 4 rifles and 120 rounds of ammunition? I remember the last time you and I, each rifle gave 30 rounds of ammunition."

"Haha, the price last time was still 200 chips. Anyway, don't even think about it, at least 12!"

"12? Are you talking about hyena skins? If it's deerskin, then you'll probably have to add another 2 kilograms of coarse salt."

"Who the hell wants hyena skins! You're crazy, even vampires are not as greedy as you!" Lister cursed, but that was all.

Those noble ladies and rich girls living in the inner city are always eager for beautiful furs and the adventure stories behind them. And those big shots are also happy to use these rare and hard-to-get items to show their luxury and prominence.

These deerskins will definitely be in high demand when they are shipped back

Thinking of this, he finally nodded his proud head.

"I need to check out the goods first."

Chu Guang smiled and nodded.

"Yes."
