The performance of the players did not disappoint Lucius.

It took only two days for the two metallurgical elders to create the tools needed by the 'Boss of the weapon shop'. Even incidentally, the blast furnace was improved, which cleverly solved the bubbles in the steelmaking castings of the indigenous method.

The completed casting includes a boring tool, a turning tool, and a milling tool. Although they are all cast parts, the strength is still very reliable. If you pay attention to maintenance and maintenance, it will be no problem to use it for a few months.

In addition, there is a set of double-rail threaded calipers transformed from screws, steel bars, and scrap gears. One side of the calipers is connected to a winch with a drive shaft and a grip.

This thing can convert torque into horizontal thrust through gears. Every time the winch turns 1 scale, it can just push the knife seat on the caliper horizontally by one millimeter. Although the efficiency of this guy is not as good as that of an electric lathe, it can still be used when processing millimeter-level precision controls.

The only thing that makes Lucius unable to complain is probably the IDs of the two players who completed these commissions.

One is called [ Ward's Beriberi Levin ], and the other is called [ Yamasaa, I Want To Go To The Toilet ].

What kind of underworld names are these...

In short, according to the order at the warehouse gate, the two received a total of 80 silver coins, and the average was 40 per person. According to the plan of the two, they planned to make contributions for a week first, and strive to save up to 2000 points as soon as possible, so as to buy a piece of land in front of the nursing home.

The rewards for crafting tools give them a taste of the sweetness. They plan to open a workshop at that time, specializing in metallurgy and forging.

"...Are these tools enough?" At the entrance of the weapon shop, Lucius put the wooden basket containing metal utensils on the table in front of Sumeria.

Sumeria glanced at the tools in the frame, then reluctantly nodded.

"It's okay. With these tools, at least there is no problem in making bullets. If I can handle seamless steel pipes, I can help you make some simple iron-pipe rifles...Did you buy these?"

"The players made them."

"Did you do it?" Sumeria looked at Lucius in surprise, "I didn't expect your people to have such skills."

Lucius said with a smile, "Compared to Boulder City?"

"The Boulder City is huge, it depends on who you compare with."

Sumeria continued to speak calmly while installing the threaded caliper on the wooden table.

"It's not all poor ghosts like us, there are also regular troops armed to the teeth - the militia in Boulder City. They have powered armor, twin-engine aircraft, nerve-connected drones, half-track support vehicles, and our Something that can’t be named.”

"Oh? So strong," Lucius said with a smile, "Then why haven't I seen them come here?"

"Who knows, maybe it's because they are not interested. There's nothing good in the countryside."

Sumeria answered vaguely.

In fact, she didn't finish her sentence. Although the militia in Boulder City did have some good things, obviously not all the militia were armed to the teeth.

For example, power armor, as far as she knows, the entire militia group is only in double digits, and more than half of them are inferior products imitated after the war, and their power sources and weapons are relatively backward.

Only a few parts are pre-war equipment that have not yet broken down, and the power source is a He3 cold fusion battery with one less. As for things like drones, aircraft, and support vehicles, they sound scary, but in fact, their deterrent significance is far greater than their actual combat significance.

Especially in negative distance street fighting, cannon fodder is always the most cost-effective choice. In the slums of Boulder City, it only takes 13 years to grow from a baby to a soldier, and the "maintenance cost" is nothing more than a nutrient cream that cockroaches, spiders, and mice can make.

Although Lucius never believed half of what this guy said, but these interesting settings can be supplemented in the official website database.

Whether it is a cloud player or a player, they all like this kind of cake the most.

...

At dusk.

The players returned to the outpost one after another.

Lucius noticed that there were actually several players setting up stalls in the open space in front of the north gate of the outpost. And one of the most popular stalls is actually owned by Yaya.

"Sell mushrooms, fresh mushrooms, don't miss the duck when you pass by."

"After a day's work, don't you reward yourself for your hard work by stewing a pot of mushroom soup?"

"Delicious!"

Unable to accept tasks from NPCs, Yaya, who doesn't want to be hungry and is too embarrassed to eat every day, can only choose to set up a stall. In addition to the mushrooms she took to complete the punishment task, she left about ten kg for herself, and with the mentality of giving it a try, she put them on the stall and started selling them.

The passing players quickly surrounded her.

"Can you eat this mushroom?"

"Is it ripe?"

"Male or female?"

"Can sensitive skin be used?"

"Can you see the villain after eating?"

"You can eat and see it—ah, no, you can't see it! If you don't believe me, look at it!" Yaya picked up the mushroom and stuffed it into his mouth, gnawed it, and jumped on the spot to show that he was still alive. No dropped calls or dizziness.

Seeing that the stall owner ate it all by herself, the players around the stall no longer hesitated, and took out the copper coins in their hands one after another.

Just like what Yaya said, half a kg of mushrooms is not expensive, it only sells for 3 copper coins, which is much cheaper than the food sold in the granary.

The new version has been online for two days, and most players can afford it.

"Come on, I won't eat meat today, try cooking porridge with mushrooms."

"Roasted mushrooms sound good too."

"The boss came here for a catty. If it doesn't taste good, I'll come back and return it."

"It's a pity that I can't see the villain. Next time, please bring me something that can see the villain! I want to kill at least one villain."

"Hello? Are you a demon, there is a metamorphosis here."

In less than five minutes, the ten kg of mushrooms piled up on the stall were all sold out.

Looking at the yellow and heavy sixty small copper pieces in his hand, Yaya almost burst into tears with excitement.

This, is this what it feels like to be rich!

It's not easy!

Although……

In fact, it was only 6 silver coins.

On the other hand, when the players who bought the mushrooms passed by the weapon shop, they suddenly found that there were some tools that they hadn't seen before on the wooden table in front of the proprietress of the weapon shop.

As we all know, the dog planners of Wasteland OL are quite detailed, sharp-eyed players have already recognized that the things on the table are knives for processing equipment.

That is to say...

In the future, you can buy materials and let NPCs help you change equipment?!

"Are you Kelly from 'Heaven is for real' movie?"

"Ma'am, where is the boss?"

"Stupid, she is the mercenary rescued by the manager! Where is the boss?"

"I know, but you seem dumb for being so serious."

Sumeria looked at the players around him in bewilderment. Although she couldn't understand what they were talking about, she still remembered what Lucius told her, looked at them with a cool expression, and read her lines word by word.

"Hi, I'm Sumeria from the weapon shop, how can I help you?"

"This NPC doesn't look very intelligent."

"Normal, with such a large server, it is not bad to be compatible with one or two fully artificial NPCs!"

"5mm rifled iron-barreled rifle, the quality [ Poor quality ]... grass, low-quality ones cost 100 silver coins! Slip away."

"Hey, I can't afford it, I can't afford it."

"Wooooooo. It really is Kelly from Heaven. I can feel the aura of affluence from the price list."

Sumeria: "..."

These people are so annoying, why are they talking so much. Do you want to buy it or not!

However, Sumeria was a little relieved that these people were indeed as friendly as Lucius said. Although it's not polite to stare at people, at least you won't do something irrational just because you ignore them.

Tavern in Boulder City, 99% of fights happened because A glanced at B too much.

...

After the players went offline, there was an additional post on Wasteland OL's official website, and the popularity quickly rose to become the most popular post of the day.

"Mole Daily: Shelter No.404 welcomes the No. 2 NPC! The proprietress of the weapon shop from Heaven (Kelly)—Sumeria! "

Mole In The Hole: [ Hello everyone, I am a red-nosed mole. There is not enough land in the manor, so I decided to hide in the wasteland for a while. ]

[ Come back to business, let’s talk about the newly added NPC Sumeria today! ]

[ This NPC was actually launched yesterday, but it was probably in the debugging stage yesterday. Although people were sitting at the table, there was a closed sign at the door. Today, not only has the closed business sign been removed, guns have been hung on the shelves, and Boss Sumeria has an extra set of tools on her desk! Boldly speculate, this will be your Kelly in the future. I don’t know when the reinforced 14 iron barrel rifle will be released. ]

[ In addition, I attach my scum hand-painted, for reference only, don't spray if you don't like it. ]

[ Picture ]

Although Wasteland OL does not support in-game screenshots, it does not prevent big touches from copying the characters in the game with the drawing board in their hands.

For example, Brother Mole, I didn't expect him to be a hidden hand-painted master, and the paintings really look like that.

Badass Bunny: "Cool!"

Get Up Ten Times A Night: "It can be said to be exactly the same!"

Shuri: "I love it, my sister is so sassy, ​​this is too awesome (=^ェ^=)"

Mole In The Hole: "Hey, I actually studied art, but I changed careers after failing the Central Academy of Sciences. I would like to give the official a little suggestion. I can add a punk-style Z-shaped studded belt to the new NPC. Goggles, change the outfit to jeans and a white shirt, and red hair will look even more shabby! Of course, it’s just a suggestion.”

Quit Smoking: "Boss, draw MANAGER BOSS too! I'm more interested in him!"

That Touch Of Missing: "That's right, whoever wants to see the NPC in the weapon shop, I want to see what the real boss looks like! This official website doesn't even have a browsing map!"

Mole In The Hole: "Don't worry, I'll draw it now. But, what's so interesting about male NPCs, just wait a moment."

Irena: "No rush, I'll be online tomorrow night anyway.(>‿◠)✌"

Quit Smoking: "&%@#!(◣◢)┌∩┐"

Today's official website's limelight was completely taken away by Sumeria. Lucius glanced at the picture drawn by the mole brother, and then at Sumeria who was sitting in the corner reciting his lines.

It's quite similar. But would it really look better with a belt and goggles?

As a straight man of pure blood, Lucius's dressing experience is about equal to the information feed on internet, and he is self-aware of this.

But he looks good in whatever he wears, so it doesn't matter.

Noticing Lucius's gaze, Sumeria shrinks back nervously.

"What, what are you doing..."

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking how many days you haven't changed your clothes."

Lucius looked at her right leg, where the injury had basically healed, but the blood on the trousers was still there, which looked somewhat unhygienic.

Change, change clothes?

Sumeria became even more nervous, her small face turned pale, rosy in the white, and blue in the red.

"Relax, I just want to ask about your ruler... Tsk," Lucius shook his head halfway through the words, "Forget it."

It's really inappropriate to ask yourself this.

It's better to write a task note and let Shuri measure it.
