Boss Sumeria is drunk.

Lucius didn't pay attention, this guy actually took out all the money in his pocket to buy wine and drank, sat on the chair and sipped it, and didn't eat two mouthfuls of food.

This guy never cares about tomorrow when she spends money. It's a miracle that she can live until now.

But…… This seems to be the most authentic portrayal of the wastelanders. Even if tomorrow is hell, today we must live optimistically for ourselves.

"Hi...I can still drink it!" Long red hair was scattered on her shoulders, and Sumeria, who smelled of alcohol, yelled while holding a glass.

"No one is stopping you."

He gently pushed the head that had fallen on his shoulders to the armrest beside him and lay on his stomach.

Lucius, who was sitting on the bench at the north gate, took a sip of the wine, savored the slightly astringent sweetness, and stopped tasting it.

Because of the psychological shadow of his previous life, he restrained himself from drinking too much. After all, if he drank too much, he would lose his sense again, and he didn't have the confidence to have good luck that he can reborn again in this world.

Temperance is a nobler virtue than mercy. Not because of fear.

In the distance, the nomads also joined the players' celebration, and they quickly won applause from the players for their ability to sing and dance.

"My lord...Although I don't want to spoil your fun, I'm afraid I will consume a lot of food today. The raw meat at the special stalls is almost sold out, and there is not much food left." Walking to Lucius, old Luka bent over Waist, and said cautiously, "The nomads used all the silver coins you rewarded them to buy croissants, and after buying them, they didn't use them in the celebration, and brought them back to the clan."

There is another sentence that he didn't dare to say, that is, these blue coats are too much of foody, and they can't wait to eat two meals in one meal.

However, the status of the residents of the shelter is higher than his own. Luka, who has the concept of status and dignity engraved in his bones, dares not presume to overstep the slightest bit, and can only find fault with the nomads.

"It's okay, it's impossible to have a banquet every day." Lucius smiled lightly, "Bringing out these things is just to make everyone happy. Don't worry, I know it all in my heart."

It's a game, it's important to have fun. Coincidentally, it happened to be such a day worthy of celebration. Bringing out some supplies to hold an event for the players would also help boost the morale of the players and improve the server environment.

There are always people on the forum complaining that his "Wasteland OL" is not casual at all.

So, here comes the casual content.

Judging by the appearance of those players, they are quite happy to play.

Seeing that the Master had said so, Old Luka stopped talking, bowed his head respectfully, and backed away.

...

"Wooooow, I can't drink anymore."

"Then don't drink."

"Water……"

"Don't move your hands, be honest."

Carrying the drunk Sumeria back to the shelter, Lucius threw her on the bed and put the crutches beside her bed to lean on.

Her pupils are dilated, her eyes are blurred, her cheeks are redder than her own hair, and the red goes all the way to her earlobes. One of the buttons on the collar was undone, probably by rubbing it open, revealing the collarbone and half of the crisp white.

Lucius smoothly covered her with a quilt.

By the way, this guy's drinking capacity is really bad enough.

Do all the taverns in Boulder City sell boiled water?

Lucius heard this guy bragging more than once about how she could drink wine, and now it seems that she is really bragging.

Yuki sitting in the room blinked and looked curiously.

"Has she been drinking?"

She had tasted wine once, and only once. It was brought by her sister-in-law from her home when her elder brother got married.

She still remembers the taste to this day, it was astringent and bitter, not tasty at all.

Dad also said that when she gets married, he will prepare a bottle for her and take it to the other party's house. But she didn't want any of it, if only sugar could be substituted.

"Well, this guy drank too much." Lucius put a bottle of milk on the table, "If she wakes up later and clamors for water, I'll give this to her... Please take care of her. "

Yuki nodded energetically and said seriously.

"Hmm! Leave it to Yuki with confidence!"

So good. It would be great if everyone in the shelter was as well-behaved and sensible as Yuki.

That way I can get materials every day.

Resisting the urge to touch her head, Lucius rewarded her with a chocolate-flavored lollipop, told her to save it until tomorrow, then turned back to the residents' hall and turned on the computer.

As usual, take a look at the forum first.

At this time, most of the players have already gone offline, only some newcomers who do cleaning tasks, and life professional players who do order tasks are still online.

Lucius glanced at the posts on the forum.

There was no accident, just a few minutes ago when he was carrying Sumeria back to the shelter, these bastards started to organize themselves again.

Tail: "Big news! Tail saw Manager carrying the proprietress back to the shelter! (`?′)Ψ"

WC Really Has Mosquitoes: "Shocked! The owner of the weapon shop is actually Manager's girl!"

Tabletop Cop: "I also saw them enter the same room!"(⌐■_■)

Richest Elf King: "I haven't come out for ten minutes!"(⁠ノ⁠*⁠0⁠*⁠)⁠ノ

Get Up Ten Times A Night: "! Master Manager only last ten minutes?!"¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Irena: "Your discussion makes me feel like I missed a version, just tell me how old the child is.(⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕⁠)"

Mole In The Hole: "Is there any literary brother who can add details, Mosquito says he is willing to spend money to buy it."

WC Really Has Mosquitoes: "No money, no money, I am bankrupt today. (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)"

Mole In The Hole: "Hey, what's the use of you... Do I still have to do it myself?"

Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Brother Mole is amazing!"

Seeing the group of little players, Lucius began to add those details that did not exist at all. Lucius, who was peeking at the screen, couldn't bear it anymore, and typed a line and sent it.

Light: "Stop it, except for that kind of picture, that kind of text is also not allowed."

Mole In The Hole: "Hey! I'm going to write outside! Brothers, let's go!"

Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Oh! Go!"

Tail: "Hey! (`?′)Ψ"

Lucius: "..."

In addition to these unscrupulous posts, there are also serious discussions on the forum.

For example, a certain player named [ Night Commander ] used an entire post to share his experience of getting disconnected after drinking and the brain holes he generated.

"Surprised, the drunken effect of this game is too real, it turns out that if you drink the fragment, you will be disconnected directly! After a rational analysis, when you need to temporarily log off from the game, you can completely stay bored with a bottle of vodka. "

This idea seems to be good, but this little player obviously forgot to think about how to come back after going offline. This mouthful is so stuffy, I’m afraid you won’t be able to wake up if you want to, even if you wake up, you will still have a dizzy DEBUFF.

Sure enough, someone complained at the bottom of the post.

The Boy On The Construction Site: "Don't listen to what this guy said, the fragmentation debuff will last for more than two hours! You can't even log into the game in these two hours. And the most important thing is... after the fragmentation, it's still possible Pee your pants! If you want to die, try it, I don’t dare do it anyway”

Get Up Ten Times A Night: "It's okay to go offline after drinking high alcohol, brother, why don't you ask Boss Yaya for a mushroom, it's much faster than that. (⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠"

Yaya: "Shut up! You are slandering! When did I ever sell poisonous mushrooms? (`Д′*)9"

Irena: "Scared. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

Although drinking will produce a series of debuffs, and the experience from being drunk to fragmentation is not as realistic as in reality, everyone still has rave reviews for the fact that you can drink in "Wasteland OL".

Especially for some young players who are allergic to alcohol, who don't drink at all in reality, they finally experienced the feeling of being drunk once in the game.

Although everyone has said that this feeling is enough to experience once. That feeling of battling the Internet connection is just too much.

Apart from the discussion about the banquet at night, the topics on the forum were mainly focused on the task of "liberating Beit Street" during the day.

After observing the NPCs carefully, some smart little players discovered some very interesting things.

Those NPCs are so intelligent that they are like real people, each of them has their own unique life trajectory.

And this kind of trajectory is different from "Red Dead Redemption", it doesn't seem to be designed, it is more like a real-time calculation by a program.

If it weren't for too many unscientific places, they couldn't help but suspect that these NPCs were all played by customer service.

Just like the staff of the escape room, the DM of the script killing...

Big Eyes in Debt: "This game is too real! Although it is a selling point, sometimes it is troublesome if it is too real. This is the first time I have seen that even Novice Village requires players to build their own house, and not only to build a house, but the NPCs in the village also have to find it from outside."

Badass Bunny: "Haha, isn't this interesting? Watching the game world change a little bit because of us, isn't it more interesting than simply spawning monsters."

The earliest shelter had nothing but a dilapidated building surrounded by trees.

Now there are not only city walls, but also moats, full granaries, and warehouses. The refuge has also been opened to the B2 floor, and the manager has also changed into a "Magic costume".

As soon as he thought of his own contribution to this, the sense of accomplishment and pride in Bunny's heart was so full that it was about to overflow.

Totally realistic virtual reality games are awesome too!

The Thunder King: "Hahaha, this has a silly meaning. I suggest you play a few more games to gain knowledge, so as not to appear too ignorant. Have you ever played Laogun 5? You XXS probably haven't even heard of it. Have you heard of it? The NPCs and players in the entire Morrowind Province were slaughtered by me alone. In the end, the GM had to chat with me privately, begging me to be merciful, not only canceled my red name, but also gave me a year of VIP .”

8th Level Gale: "Brother, your hook is too straight, I even suspect that you are cross-stringing."

Badass Bunny: "Hahaha! Therefore, people's joys and sorrows are not the same, understand! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

Richest Elf King: "Hey, I suddenly feel that it's better not to online the public beta. Otherwise, if you let a group of this kind of guy come in, I feel like you can't play the game at all. ╮⁠(⁠╯⁠_⁠╰⁠)⁠╭"

Get Up Ten Times A Night: "You think too much, this game can be played by children? (⁠ ⁠´⁠◡⁠‿⁠ゝ⁠◡⁠`⁠)"

Tomorrow Seeker: "It's good to release the activation code slowly now, but the game company also needs to make money. The public beta is a matter of time, and it depends on how the operator handles it at that time."

The Thunder King: "Come on, you Europeans, why don't you eat minced meat! I haven't got the qualification to make an appointment yet!"

Get Up Ten Times A Night: "There are too many people in line, so wait slowly. (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)"

...

The next day.

The envoy of Brown Farm brought the promised "Thank you gift".

A total of 1.5 tons of grain was stuffed into four caravans, pulled by two-headed oxen, and delivered to the warehouse gate of the outpost.

Didn't expect Brown Farm to raise cattle?

Lucius touched his chin and pondered.

I don't know if he saw something from the sight of the lord manager. The emissary was too frightened to stay for a second. After receiving the promise of friendly exchanges and mutual exchanges, he immediately greeted the servants. The ox cart was back on the road.

It was already noon after sending off the envoy from Brown Farm, Yugin rushed to the outpost from Beit Street with a letter written by old Charlie.

What was contained in the envelope was the draft code that he drafted overnight.

After Lucius took a look and confirmed that there was no major problem, he signed his name and date on it, indicating that the document will take effect from now on.

Having laws to abide by is the first step in establishing order. The first code does not have to be too complicated. It is better to be so simple that even scavengers who cannot read a single word can understand it.

As for the regulations subdivided into various fields and industries, as well as the detailed interpretation clauses of various laws, these can be further regulated in the subsequent implementation.

Just like the "Player's Handbook" that has been updated to version 4.0, it basically clearly states what can't be done and the consequences after doing it. And the earliest 1.0 version, only a few short lines in total.

At present, Beit Street is only a small village with a size of more than one hundred households. Old Charlie has enough time to explore, which is suitable for the rules of the survivors on the wasteland.

Old Charlie was the mayor of Beit Street, and Lucius was quite relieved.

This former old butler has enough understanding of the situation on Beit Street, and is also capable of doing this not difficult job.

In addition to the mayor, there is also the candidate for the captain of the guard.

The original captain of the guard was a direct descendant of the old mayor, so it was naturally impossible to use him again. It was kind enough not to ransack his house and drive him out.

After much deliberation, Lucius finally decided to hand over the job to Yudeep, the big brother of Yugin.

Compared with his younger brother Yugin, he has a more flexible brain and is more careful in doing things than Yugin.

The most important thing is that he has already married a wife and will soon have children. Those who have a family are always more stable than those who do not.

The original guard on Beit Street has been disbanded, and the defense is almost empty. In order to avoid chaos, a new guard must be established as soon as possible.

Considering that Beit Street is too far away from the resurrection point of the players, the guards are only suitable to be selected from the locals.

In the follow-up work, the captain of the guard not only needs to maintain the law and order of Beit Street, but also needs to organize patrols to remove high-threat alien species near Beit Street.

Patrols can be mixed by players and NPCs, and this part of the content can be made in the form of tasks.

Lucius planned to repair the wall of Beit Street when there were spare building materials, so as to accommodate more survivors.

Of course, the current top priority is to develop the stronghold of Wetland Park.

The broadcast I heard at the old leech's house before was full of nonsense, but it still revealed some useful information.

The unrest in the northern part of the Valley Province seems to be increasing, and more refugees are migrating from the north to the south.

If the news is accurate, then Wetland Park, located at the gateway to the northern suburbs of Spring City, will soon welcome a large wave of new refugees.

This will no doubt be a tough test for the budding outpost!
