The south gate of the outpost.
Yugin and Niluu, carrying tens of kilograms of wild pork and 300g of coarse salt, staggered out of the gate.
Both of them can't hold alcohol very well, after all, they usually don't have a chance to drink, so they are a little drunk in less than two hours, and their footprints on the snow are a bit awkward.
However, the heads of the two are clear.
"Yugin, is this okay?"
"You mean about leaving the Yuki here?"
Niluu nodded.
"Um."
Yugin frowned in thought and shook his head.
"I don't know, but brother Lucius is not a bad person."
Niluu whispered something.
"Yuki is at the age of getting married, so you don't have to worry about... people gossiping on the street?"
"Who dares! If you dare to say it, I will beat him!"
Yugin stared, but soon realized that this was not realistic. After all, no matter what, I only have one pair of fists, so he can't beat everyone.
It's okay to just beat that little bastard from the Malcolm family.
"It's okay, it's fine for her to stay there, it's better not to come back," Yugin shook his head so that Niluu could wake up, and muttered, "Anyway, it's better to stay with Brother Lucius than our place too too much."
Niluu nodded. He agrees with this. Although he don't know much about that big brother Lucius, but with so many blue coats to work for him alone, at least he is a big man like the mayor.
All the way without words. The two crossed the snow, passed through the ruins, bypassed the hyena group that was biting the big rat, and touched the entrance of Beit Street safely.
It hasn't snowed yet, so the way back is not too difficult.
The gatekeeper Walter stood guard at the door with a cigarette in his mouth and a shotgun in his hand, without even looking at the two of them.
The two walked quickly through the main entrance and were about to walk into the alley, but when they passed by the door of Old Charlie's grocery store, they were stopped by the old man.
"You two, wait a minute."
Yugin and Niluu stopped, looked at each other, and looked at old Charlie.
"...What are you doing?"
Old Charlie was the mayor's housekeeper, and he was arranged to run a grocery store here after retirement. Many good things in the town came from him.
The survivors in the town still respect or fear this old butler who can mingle with businessmen from north to south. After all, those merchants never looked at them directly, but they could talk and laugh with old Charlie.
However, respect is also in the past. Ever since he started doing business with Brother Lucius's people, Yugin felt more and more that this old Charlie was actually not a good guy. It is to sell things to them a few times.
In the words of Brother Lucius, it means "Not following the rules". Anyway, he is not a good person.
Old Charlie glanced at the plastic bags in their hands, then at the snow falling on their shoulders, his nose moved slightly, and then his cloudy eyes narrowed slightly.
"Have you gone to the north?"
The two shook their heads like a rattle.
"No no."
He wanted to know but they didn't want to say anything. What can he do?
"Don't go north, it's not safe there."
After staring at the two for a while, Old Charlie looked away from the two of them, didn't continue to say anything, and waved them away.
At this time, Mark Malcolm, the biggest son of the Malcolm family, came from the door carrying a hyena cub, and happily patted the prey on the wooden table next to him.
"Old Butler, I've got a piece of wild prey, and It is still a cub! See if the mayor wants it. If not, I'll send it to the slaughterhouse."
Although old Charlie is no longer the butler, the big guy still calls it that.
Charlie glanced at the dead hyena cub on the table.
The smell of hyena meat is not small, and if it is not handled in time, it will stink for a while, so the survivors in the nearby area will use a red rib tobacco leaf, a specialty of Brown Farm, to crush and smear it on it, and smoke it with fire to remove the smell.
Whether it is healthy or not is another story, but it can really cover up the smell. Unlike adult hyenas, hyena cubs are an exception. The meat is fresh and tender, and the steak of the leg meat is the best food. It is said that it is because the weaning is short and the carrion is eaten less.
"Leave it alone."
Old Charlie opened the drawer, took out 4 chips, and threw them on the table.
Mark Malcolm took the chips with joy on his face.
4 chips! It can be exchanged for 150 grams of yellow salt!
It’s not terrible to have no meat to eat. For experienced hunters, as long as they are patient and careful enough, they can always catch their prey.
But if there is no salt, it will be fatal. If a person does not eat salt, he will have no strength, and if he has no strength, he will not be able to hunt prey.
Mark Malcolm was about to leave when Charlie stopped him suddenly.
"You come back."
Mark Malcolm stopped and asked with a simple smile.
"What is the old butler's order?"
Charlie asked.
"You live next to Yudeep's house, right?"
Mark Malcolm nodded quickly.
"Yes, we are not far from their home."
"Help me keep an eye on their youngest son. His name is... Yugin? Anyway, if he goes north one day, you can follow him and see where he is." Charlie thought for a while, continued, "If you find anything, don't disturb him, come back and report to me immediately, the reward will not be lower than the amount in your hand."
Mark Malcolm was overjoyed, and he tightened his grip on the chips.
"Don't worry! I will definitely watch for you."
"Be quiet," Charlie reprimanded him, looked left and right, saw no one, then waved him away, "Go."
...
Yugin and Niluu shared the meat and salt and went back to their respective homes.
Just as Yudeep was coming out of the door, when he saw Yugin who came back alone, he was taken aback for a moment, and then the smell of alcohol on his face made him inhale subconsciously.
"You've been drinking?"
Yugin blushed, scratched the back of his head, and said in embarrassment.
"Uh, I drank some... It's not that I took advantage of others, it was Big Brother Lucius who forced me to drink, so I drank it."
Yudeep glanced behind him, but he didn't see anyone, and he didn't see the string of small footprints, so he couldn't help asking.
"Where's the Yuki?"
Yugin faltered for a long time before speaking.
"She...well, stayed there."
Hearing this, Yudeep's eyes widened.
"You left her there alone??"
Yugin quickly explained.
"I didn't leave her there. Yuki herself said that she wanted to help Brother Lucius with something, so I said something for her. Brother Lucius is such a nice person, so there must be no problem!"
"What can Yuki help with!?"
Yudeep didn't believe this nonsense.
He once ate a cake baked by Yuki, which almost knocked out his teeth, and finally threw it into the pot and boiled it until it became mushy.
Yugin was anxious to explain, but he himself didn't quite understand it, so it was impossible for him to explain clearly.
"I, I, I don't know, why don't you ask Brother Lucius? Let's go, I will accompany you now."
Yudeep couldn't laugh or cry for a while.
"No, forget it, what are you going to do after making this mess? And most Importantly how are you going to explain this to father for a while? Say you went to change the salt and left the little girl there for a drink?"
Yugin was about to cry.
"Don't, bro, daddy will kill me."
Yudeep shook his head and sighed.
"Think about it yourself, this matter is not my business."
Yugin buried his head and muttered.
"What are you confused about? Isn't it good? They still have food to make wine... Yuki follows them, can she still be hungry? Brother, if you don't worry, I will go there every day for the next two days. If Yuki is in trouble, I'll bring her back right away!"
Yudeep looked at the sky and just sighed.
"Forget it, I won't say anything, it's up to you."
What can we say now after we have reached this point? Take one step at a time.
...
Shelter.
The players on the square looked in the direction of the nursing home curiously, gossiping.
"Who is that little girl next to Master Manager?"
"Yuki, the NPC of Beit Street, it is written in the official website information. Veteran players know it. There have been a few episodes about Beit Street before, and the forum has discussed it before. You should be able to find it in the previous posts.”
"Hey! I'm a newcomer, I don't understand!"
"By the way, did I miss any plot again?"
"Kelly! Well, she is not Kelly...but it doesn't matter, she is so cute! I can't help it!"
"Crooked, pervert. I think there is something wrong with this person. Come and take him away.
What? It's not convenient for you to call the police? I can do it for you!"
"I am responsible for the security!"
Shelter The Residents' Hall on the B1 floor.
Sumeria, who was learning foreign languages while sitting at the wooden table, had been staring at Lucius since he brought Yuki back from the outside.
Seeing that she had nothing to do, Lucius had time to stare at her as a nymphomaniac, then he threw two silver coins on the table in front of her.
"Go to the market and buy me a half kg of milk."
Yuki went to take a bath on the B2 floor. Although the players were very curious about this new little sister, there was no need to worry about it since Popo was following her.
Throughout the entire day, Yuki behaved very well and was very good. She learned very fast and basically learned everything he taught her.
Especially that kind of hardworking and studious spirit, it really should make someone study hard.
Lucius has never been stingy with rewards for hardworking guys, no matter if they are NPCs or players.
However, eating sugar all the time is not good for teeth. It is best to drink some milk to grow your body. Maybe you can seize the time to grow taller. Even if they can't grow taller, it's okay to raise them well, at least they don't fall down like bean sprouts in a gust of wind.
Speaking of which, after she officially took up the job, he had to order a set of more recognizable clothes for her.
After all, this position is important. It might even be more important than weapon stores and warehouses combined.
Seeing the two silver coins jingling down on the table, Sumeria's eyes widened, and her eyes moved alternately back and forth between the silver coins and Lucius's face.
It seems unbelievable. Finally, she couldn't help but said, "You let me, a disabled person, run errands for you, excuse me?"
Be a person!
Lucius, who was turning on the computer to edit the document, glanced at her, as if looking at a fool.
"I didn't let you go by yourself, wouldn't you let the player go for you? How did I teach you, open the VM, select the taskbar, click the edit button, and then make up a plausible reason... For example, you just say to yourself I can’t sleep without drinking milk every day. Select someone to post, or post it on a public channel.”
"Understood, Manager must drink milk at night to fall asleep... I, I, I was wrong, I want to drink, I want to drink."
The moment Lucius looked over, Sumeria was scared instantly, and pressed the backspace key with frustration, and deleted the task that had just been edited, and changed it to what Lucius forced her to write.
Very good. Seeing the obedient Sumeria, Lucius nodded in satisfaction.
There are benefits to being handsome, just give her a look and experience it for yourself, and you don't even need to speak in person, just convince her directly.
Actually, it doesn't matter what Boss Sumeria writes on the task panel.
There are two types of missions issued by NPCs using VMs. One is pre-set, point-to-point sending, and it does not need to be available within the signal range of the shelter.
And another kind of task sent by self-editing needs to be sent to the server first, and then sent to a player's device after being reviewed by Popo, or sent as [ Daily task ] or [ Random task] to all players visible public task area.
In other words, as long as Lucius said hello to Popo, no matter what Boss Sumeria wrote on the task panel, he would modify it to what he wanted her to write.
"It's done... a player named Yaya picked it up."
Yaya. Don't worry. When she bought it back, he just let her have a taste.
"OK."
Seeing that Lucius threw down a sentence, he ignored her, and continued typing on the computer, not knowing what he was typing.
Listening to the annoying crackling sound, Sumeria, who was thinking about something, couldn't read the book, and finally couldn't help asking.
"...By the way, what's the matter with that little girl? Don't get me wrong, I'm just asking, even if you're a beast—"
After being noisy, he typed a typo, Lucius frowned, and while poking the backspace key, he made a perfunctory sentence.
"It's okay, she will be your roommate from now on."
"Wait, roommate?" Sumeria said in a hurry, "Isn't there still room? Why do you want me to be her roommate? I don't know how to take care of people."
The caretaker is okay. It's not clear who will take care of whom.
Lucius said casually, "I plan to ask you to teach her the daily language of the players, which is the book in your hand."
Sumeria said in a low voice.
"Yes, but I haven't learned it myself..."
Moreover, if they lived together, wouldn't that mean there would be no privacy at all?
It's not like there's no empty room next door.
Lucius left the keyboard with his hands and looked at her with interest.
"It's okay, just learn together. When you teach her, I'll let her move to the next room. But don't wait until she learns, you still don't know anything."
This guy is quite confident.
It's been a long time, and she haven't even learned how to swear in beautiful English, just a few sentences over and over again, and those little players on the forum are anxious to death.
"How can it be!"
"Hehe, let's wait and see."
Ignoring the yelling Boss Sumeria, Lucius continued to look at the computer screen and typed the last few words and punctuation.
"...The rest is just copy and paste."
Looking at the fruits of his labor that he wrote in less than half an hour, Lucius showed a joyful and happy smile on his face.
Alpha0.6 version!
Done!
The south gate of the outpost.
