Zoltar Blipchain

Well, hello there. / G'day, mate. / Good to see ya! / Hey there!

I'm Zoltar Blipchain, all the way from Andromeda.

I'm a blockchain enthusiast revolutionizing farming.

Call me the Eron Dusk of agriculture, without the tweets!

Well, between the rat infestation and the market volatility, I've had better days.

But hey, no pain, no gain, right?

Just gotta keep pushing till my agri-tech hits the moon!

Welcome to Goldenfield, the Wall Street of wheat farming!

It's where I'm pioneering BlockGrains, the future of agri-tech.

Exciting, volatile, rat-infested. Just like the crypto-market.

Need help? That's the understatement of the century!

These mutated rats, they're running amok in my fields, devouring my genetically enhanced wheat!

It's like a Ratocalypse out there! They're stunting my revolutionary BlockGrains venture right in its tracks.

I have a hunch, you know, a techie's sixth sense. I reckon these mutations might be a result of their diet - my genetically modified wheat.

If we don't act fast, I fear my vision for a decentralized farming revolution may crumble to dust. A bit melodramatic, but you get the picture, right?

Bring back some tails from the rats you take down. It'll serve as proof and give me a better ideas of what we're dealing with.

Great! Let's show these rats we mean business!

You need to curtail the population of those mutated rats in the wheat fields and bring back some rat tails as proof.

Well, that's a bummer. Guess I'll stick to battling these pests myself.

Keep going, mate! Those rat's can't stand a chance!

-::I'm Maxwell Sterling. Censor, survivor, all-around fun guy.
-::I teach newcomers how not to die. Or at least, how to die less often.
-::This scar? Oh, just a reminder of a fun Saturday night out with a pack of hungry gnats.
-:{{dialogue icon|hru}}
-::I've been dead, cloned, reanimated, and brought back to life more times than you've had hot dinners.
-::Right now, I'm teaching survival. Because apparently, some folks need reminding that running at a monster naked with a stick is a bad idea.
-::I'm as good as you can expect, considering the prospect of sudden death is a constant companion around here.
-:{{dialogue icon|what}}
-::So, you've landed in Kwalat. Here, you're most likely to end up as monster chow than find a decent latrine.
-::Want to survive? Here's a tip: learn some skills. Cooking, Weaponsmithing, Mining... catch my drift?
-::Start with Big Mamma, up north on this road, take a left at the big house. Can't miss it. always crammed with newcomers hoping for a government-handout meal.
-::She'll teach you the basics of not starving to death.
-::In the town center, you'll find Ivie Clarkson, local cafe owner. Makes the best latte within a hundred miles. Knows everyone around, she's a local fixture.
-::Round back of her cafe, you'll find an Alchemist. Good guy, Percy.
-::Pity he skipped his university classes - his alchemy skills are about on par with mine. But he's a good drinking buddy.
-::Head west of the town center and you'll run into old Hank, the only living guard around here. There are a couple of bots, too, but I'd trust Hank over them any day.
-::He, like the other two guard-bots, can give you the lowdown on the locals, where to find them, where to go, and so on. It's part of their job.
-::Take a left after Hank and you'll find the Lumberjack and Miner near the Gas Station.
-::Take a right after passing Hank, before the pumpkin field, follow the road to the end and you'll hit the Workshop.
-::The place is run by aliens - Constructor and Weaponsmith. They look a bit odd, but they know their stuff.
-::Head east from the town center, and you'll see the Summer House and the Herbalist's bench on your right.
-::The house is rented by a sexy Qadarian, Nia. She's a hot one, but she's hard to win over.
-::Further south from her house is a Pig farm. Locals say that's where the butcher resides. But I manage fine without his services.
-::There's also a Mystic over at the Cemetary, but I try to avoid dealing with the dead. The locals can tell you more.
-::Seriously! Just ask around. I'm still finding my own feet here.

-::Could use a pair of extra hands. Or any body parts, really.
-::So, you want to learn about survival, huh? First things first - Know your limits.
-::See a monster? Think it's too strong? Then it probably is. Run. And if it chases, run faster.
-::Forget about quests, honour, revenge. Around here, your biggest achievement is making it through the day with all your limbs attached.
-::And gear up. You wouldn't believe the number of naked, brave individuals I've seen charging at monsters only to end up as a gruesome buffet. Their reckless bravery is our again - their corpses make for good looting.
-::Lastly, fetch some wood for a fire. It's right here in the camp, and I'll need three pieces.
-::Usually, you'd get wood from logging those magic trees around. But chopping trees isn't in our agenda for now

-::::Go on, fetch the wood. It's right around camp, and you won't have to watch for wildlife here. This is the safe part... for now.
-:::{{dialogue icon|no}}
-::::Huh. Guess you're not the survival type.
