This Game Is Too Realistic

"...You ignorant old guy, if I had told those predators that he had a few valuable bionic parts installed on his body, would he still be alive today? He would have been cut into a human stick!"

Looking at the figure walking downstairs, Professor Sun Zewen hummed and limped towards his room.

The managers of the new alliance arranged a new job for him. In the future, he can continue to engage in research related to resonance fields and mind interference devices.

Chu Guang plans to deploy a psychic interference tower near the settlement to drive away common alien species such as mutant hyenas, moles, cockroaches, two-headed dogs, brown bears, jackals, and falcons.

The specific method is to release fearful emotions to them through the resonance field, driving the alien species to the players' hunting grounds, or at least keeping them away from farmland and villages.

The problem that needs to be solved now is that different organisms have their own specific "frequency". Although there are ready-made materials for reference, specific species still need to be studied.

But before that, he had to go back to his room to pack his luggage. He would also go to Vault 401 to download data later, and then go to the headquarters of the new alliance - Vault 404, where he would start a new journey. Life.

Yin Fang still stayed in the control room, looking left and right at the terminal that controlled the mind control tower, and kept mumbling incredulity.

There were too many things here that made him confused.

"...How does this thing work? Does it simulate the frequency of brain waves? No...it seems to have nothing to do with brain waves...What is the medium that can transmit information?"

Heya was rarely interested, biting her lips, her eyes full of complexity, as if she was thinking about something.

As for Chu Guang, he had no time to care about his two men at the moment. Instead, he kept staring at the tablet in his hand with a faint smile on his lips.

The loot this time was quite astonishing.

An old professor who studies "resonance field theory" and "psychic interference devices".

Although Professor Sun Zewen from the pre-war era was unknown, he was still an old popsicle frozen two hundred years ago.

The other is a researcher who studies bionic organs. Although his personality is a bit rigid, or a bit silly, it does not affect his ability in the professional field.

For Chu Guang, the price he paid for all this was just some contribution points and silver coins.

It’s a bloody profit!

The only fly in the ointment is that the other three residents of Shelter 117 have unfortunately died, and this is also the origin of the three skeletons and the iron plate engraved with torches at the entrance of the ecological park.

The losses in Vault 401 were equally heavy. Except for Sun Zewen, who kept himself safe, only six "new generation" residents of the shelter survived.

It can be said that these six people have experienced all the dangers in the world. They were tortured by the predators until they were almost transformed into human beings. Even their eyes lost their light.

Chu Guang assigned them all to Professor Sun Zewen as his research assistant.

The lifespan of the residents of the shelter is much longer than that of the wastelanders. Although these people are not too young, after all, they have received the elite education of the shelter, and their foundation is still much better than the average wastelanders.

The related technologies of "Resonance Field Theory" and "Psychic Interference Device" must be inherited.

Obviously Professor Sun Zewen also knew this, so he simply accepted the task assigned to him by Chu Guang.

As for the other 109 rescued slaves, most of them were bought by Tus from slave traders. Chu Guang ordered the cattle and horse team to bring them back to Dawn City together with the captured trophies.

It takes time to adjust to a new life.

Before giving them their freedom, Chu Guang first needs to ensure that they can gain the ability to make a living and not become a hidden danger to society.

Fortunately, so far, the new alliance has far more job opportunities than labor. A series of measures taken by Chu Guang to stimulate the economy have attracted a large influx of merchants, and both the primary, secondary and tertiary industries are expanding rapidly.

Chu Guang has already said hello to old Luka, and he will be responsible for settling these poor people in the future.

In addition to counting the loot, with the help of Xiao Qi, Chu Guang briefly sorted out the previously collected intelligence.

As he guessed, Torch came here twenty years ago and copied relevant research materials on the resonance field from Vault 401.

The collar hanging around the neck of Chu Guang's pet named Niko is a device improved based on similar technical principles.

Although there is no way to control the death claw through an undifferentiated resonance field, it is different to directly insert the tube into the head.

Due to differences in ideas and goals, Torch split into two groups in Vault 401. Some went south to search for specimens of alien creatures, while others stayed in place to build their homes.

Later, out of compassion, Professor Zhao Yuan and others who stayed behind rescued a group of refugees who had escaped from Boulder City--including Tus who was torn apart by the garbage man's hands.

Then it’s nothing more than the story of the farmer and the snake.

The refugees were not interested in their ideals at all. With cunning and unexpected sneak attacks, they easily subdued these pampered blue coats and used their skills to rub pills.

And it was this series of changes that made Professor Zhao Yuan completely lose confidence in the Wastelanders.

As for the extraterrestrial colonies mentioned by the old popsicle named Sun Zewen...

This is still too far away for Chu Guang now.

However, Chu Guang still asked Xiao Qi to update relevant entries in the official website setting collection as a way to complete the world view.

…

The first basement floor of the Ecological Protection Park.

There is an underground passage connecting to the nearby subway station. Passengers coming here by rail transit can go directly to the park from the passage.

But now, this passage, like most subway tunnels in Qingquan City, has become a paradise for nibblers.

At this time, a beam of light lit up in the dark corridor, and heavy footsteps came from the direction of the stairs.

The gnawers wandering in the darkness cast their sights at the annoying light source, hissing and growling from their rotting mouths.

However, before they could get closer, thunderous gunfire sounded in the tunnel.

Sparks danced in the tunnel, the gnawers fell one after another, and soon there were more than twenty corpses on the ground.

Green smoke was rising from the muzzle, and Chu Guang, who was wearing power armor, changed the magazine neatly, and then fired again and again.

After the gunfire subsided, he put away the smoking muzzle and casually said a word to Professor Sun Zewen who was following behind him.

"Haven't those looters thought about cleaning this place up?"

His eardrums were almost shattered. Professor Sun Zewen rubbed his ears with a headache. It took him a while to come back to his senses.

"Cleaning up this place? They won't do those thankless things. Those short-sighted barbarians just want to earn more plastic pieces... I only learned later that the survivors in the wasteland actually used casino chips as money. .”

Chu Guang: "Not everyone, it's just more popular here in Qingquan City."

Professor Sun Zewen asked curiously.

"what about you?"

"Of course we have our own currency."

The entrance to Vault 401 is in this corridor. It was disguised as a workshop in the pre-war era, with a "No Entry for Unused Persons" sign posted, and only a locked door separated it from the tourists.

But now, let alone the door, most of the fist-thick wall has been demolished, leaving only a floor of broken bricks, and behind it is a half-open giant alloy door.

"More than twenty years ago, the power in the shelter ran out, and we had to withdraw from the underground and build a shelter on the surface... This place has been abandoned."

Professor Sun Zewen took the initiative to walk in front and led Chu Guang into the shelter.

Because the reactor has shut down, it is dark behind the gear-shaped alloy door. Even the air purification system has gone into hibernation. Only a few key functional equipment are still on standby with the minimum energy consumption supported by the backup power supply.

Although Yin Fang has visited here before, he only roughly collected the public data stored in the shelter and did not explore the interior of the shelter in detail.

Considering that this place would become a new gathering point for players in the future, Chu Guang felt that it was necessary to come here in person.

The moment Chu Guang stepped into the shelter, a light blue pop-up window appeared in his field of vision.

[Mission: Restart the fusion reactor in Vault 401]

[Reward: Shelter 401 Manager Permissions]

Looking at the light blue pop-up window that appeared in front of his eyes, Chu Guang had a surprised expression on his face.

Good guy.

As soon as I stepped in, the task of obtaining manager permissions was triggered.

Is it that simple?

"Shelter No. 401 has four floors. The first and second floors are the living area, the third floor is the entertainment area, and the fourth floor is the planting area. Theoretically, the maximum number of people sheltered here is 1,600 people. In fact, it can accommodate 2,000 people."

Chu Guang said slightly surprised.

"One more level than Vault 117."

Professor Sun Zewen nodded and said.

"Yes, but the budget of Shelter 117 is much higher than ours. Their per capita living area can even reach 40 square meters, while we only have half of theirs."

Speaking of this, a look of emotion appeared on the old man's face.

"Can't stand the closed space, many people have chosen cryo-hibernation...including me. However, cryo-hibernation cannot solve the problem. As the energy reserves gradually fall below the warning line, we have to wake up from hibernation and take advantage of the complete exhaustion of power. Go to the surface to find hope before you can."

The expression on Chu Guang's face was a little subtle.

Is twenty square meters per capita worthy of being called occlusion?

Then wouldn't his Vault 404 be a prison sentence?

But having so many rooms here was a big help to Chu Guang.

Currently, Shelter 117 has been transformed into a double room by him, and the player capacity has been increased from 500 to 1,000.

Counting the 2,000 "beds" in Vault 401, as long as we squeeze out 400 more rooms, it won't be a big problem to cram in the players added in the Beta 0.1 version!

The top priority now is to find the fuel rods, restore the power here, and inherit the managerial authority here.

Following Professor Sun Zewen's footsteps, Chu Guang walked around the shelter.

Compared to the comfort-focused shelter in Vault 117, the one here has a bit of a research institute style.

The area of ​​a single room is between 20 and 30 square meters, with an independent bathroom and refrigerator. In many rooms, there are uneaten and spoiled chocolates and biscuits in the refrigerator.

The living conditions here are definitely not bad.

There are even cocoa and coffee trees planted in the orchards in the planting area, but unfortunately, the plants here have long since died.

But what surprised Chu Guang was that when he walked to the back of the planting area, he found an unexpected surprise here.

It was a freezer that stored seeds of more than a dozen crops.

The seeds of the cocoa and coffee trees are also preserved!

And the amount of reserves is not small!

Judging from the flashing light green signal light, the freezer is still running smoothly.

"Can the seeds here still be used?" Chu Guang said excitedly.

Sun Zewen nodded and said.

"Of course, the seed bank is independently powered... Even if the reactor shuts down, the seeds here can be preserved for another one to two centuries. In fact, we have planted part of it around the ecological garden... It's just that the looters have occupied it. After here, those crops went to waste.”

He didn't know the specific situation there.

Although the predators gave him a certain degree of freedom, they did not allow him to leave the scope of the ecological protection park, let alone go to the surrounding forests.

After visiting the planting area on the B4 floor, Chu Guang had a rough understanding of the situation in Shelter 401.

The two returned to the entrance of the shelter.

Chu Guang glanced at the half-open giant alloy door and suddenly asked.

"How many people were there when your doors first opened."

Sun Zewen thought about his answer.

"About seven hundred."

Chu Guang said unexpectedly.

"On the contrary, it has become less?"

Sun Zewen sighed.

"People who don't want to go into hibernation will die of old age. Those who are alive are not optimistic enough about the future. There are only a handful of people who are willing to reproduce. I heard that during the time when I was in hibernation, the managers broke the black box for producing contraceptive injections. But it turned out to be of no use at all... The bottom line is that the shelter is too small, and there will always be various problems."

Chu Guang: "Where are the remaining people?"

Sun Zewen: "Most of the first-generation residents died of old age. Some of the new-generation residents died in the waves, and some became seriously ill due to acclimatization. Later, the things you already know about happened... In short, the only ones who are still alive now include me. There are seven people included.”

After a pause, the old man continued.

"Manager of Vault 404, I have a treasure that I intend to dedicate to you."

Chu Guang glanced at him curiously.

"What baby?"

Professor Sun Zewen's face showed a happy expression.

"Black box! You are a manager, you must know what it is, so I won't explain more. One of the black boxes is for producing blue jackets, and the other is for producing VM. The temperature-variable material of the former is a good thing, and the latter The uses are even wider, not only can it be modified into a survival tool for various purposes, but it can also recycle carbon nanoelectronic components."

Chu Guang looked at the old man in surprise.

"Didn't those looters get them?"

Professor Sun Zewen smiled.

"Predator? How do those vulgar savages know this kind of treasure? There is no reason for me to take the initiative to tell them those good things... But you are different. You are the manager of the shelter. I believe you can use ours properly. heritage."

"But the problem now is... we had a small situation before. The black box was locked in the manager's office. If you want to open the door of the manager's office, you must first restart the reactor."

In other words, if you want to recover the black box, do you have to restore the power supply to the shelter first?

Chu Guang said with a happy expression.

"thanks for your trust!"

"I assure you that we will use this heritage appropriately."

The scientific expedition team was already searching for clues about the fuel rods. Yin Fang's reply to him was that the problem was not big and could be solved within a week if possible.

Although Chuguang, the black box for producing VMs, already exists, who would mind having one more?

Just like the black box that produces the hibernation capsule, the more of this versatile thing is of course the merrier.

As for the black box that produces the blue jacket, it is an unexpected surprise for Chu Guang.

The blue jacket made of temperature-variable material can automatically adjust the breathability and heat dissipation of the material according to the external environment, allowing the wearer's body temperature to be maintained as comfortable as possible.

From now on, players no longer have to worry about wearing the "out-of-print skin" blue jacket when going out for a long trip because they are worried about the fabric of their clothes becoming less and less!

…

"Wasteland OL" official website.

Today's forum is as lively as ever.

The cause was that the Jungle Corps posted their battle videos on the forum.

Those macho men wearing heavy armor and holding machine guns really attracted the attention of many gay players, so much so that at least half of the thousands of new reservation players filled out the questionnaire with the power system as their first choice. superior.

In comparison, the Burning Corps suffered a little loss.

Although the Burning Corps is obviously superior to the Jungle Corps in single-round combat effectiveness, their personalized regiment configuration makes them not recognizable enough in small-scale battles.

to be honest.

No matter how efficient the butan-tank collaboration is, it cannot be as visually impactful as the torrent of steel. Ten KV-1 exoskeletons with steel plates welded to them are lined up. Just the sight of machine gun fire is enough to make people's blood boil.

However, although most of the limelight was stolen by the Jungle Corps, Mosquito's air attack still surprised many onlookers.

Especially the incendiary bomb dropped at the end made the two directors of Factory No. 81 next door call it unscientific.

Ya'er, I want to go to the toilet and asked: "Damn it! Did you get all the incendiary bombs?"

Ward's athlete's foot, Levin: "Good brother, what is your thickener made of?"

There are really mosquitoes in WC: "Guess! (bad smile)"

Chaihun: "Use sodium soap solution and aluminum sulfate water to make fatty acid aluminum soap. Thickening fuel is not easy! Dish!"

There are really mosquitoes in WC: "???"

Keep your voice down and I'll say, "Awesome!!! It's still you who punish me!"

Doomsday Lone Wolf: "I suggest you go to the bureau and file a case..."

Most of the posts from old players focused on the tactical combination and gameplay of the updated corps system in the B-round test, or they discussed the new map of the East District of Qingquan City.

The entire Eastern District is completely a virgin forest.

The vegetation density and air humidity here are much higher than those in the north and west of Qingquan City, and there are a large number of wild alien species active in the collapsed ruins and jungle-covered streets.

In addition to the iron-backed ape and the silver-mouthed snake, Brother Fang summarized several common monsters and updated them in the post for the reference of other players.

This time, not only Brother Fang, but also Kuangfeng wrote a post for the first time and posted the photos he took of Shelter 401.

When Yin Fang went to the shelter to recover data, he happened to receive an escort mission, and the photo was taken at that time.

"...Vault 401 is the same as Vault 404. The power source is suspected to be a controllable fusion reactor. However, because the energy has been exhausted, the shelter is currently in an abandoned state."

"I got the task of finding fuel rods on the scientific expedition team. I still recommend that you brush up on the professional level of the scientific expedition team when you have time. Although the mission cycle of the scientific expedition team is long, the level goes up and you can complete a whole task. The rewards given by the task chain are quite rich.”

Guangfeng's wording is more reserved.

Considering that these guys always clamored to plan a chop, they did not disclose how much they received from Yin Fang.

But having said that, even if they know that the missions of the scientific expedition team are highly profitable, most players still prefer the missions of the Hunter Guild.

After all, the former often travels more than ten kilometers, deep into uninhabited areas and unknown dangerous battles, and collects and searches for files and data whose existence is unknown.

Even a tiny mistake could cost the entire team nothing.

Without absolute confidence in the abilities of themselves and their teammates, few non-hardcore players would choose such a high-risk, high-reward mission.

While the veteran players were exchanging their strategies, the newcomers in the B-round test also posted their own "closed beta testimonials" in the chat section, which has no posting threshold.

Luo Yu: "This game is too difficult. (Ｔ▽Ｔ)"

Qingfeng: "Aren't there simpler monsters? Those snarling gnawers are too scary. QAQ"

Bai was the sniper: "Yes, cockroaches are much easier to bully than gnawers. They made no sound at all when they scurry out, but they are quiet now. (Funny)"

The sixth person in the corner: "Hey, the newbies nowadays can't bear any hardship! I think back then, when we just entered the game, we encountered a wave and started the hell mode directly."

Quit smoking: "Damn, stop bragging! When I first entered the game, I was chased by nibblers. I couldn't stand it anymore!"

Unprofessional anti-Man: "Damn it! These guys say on the forum every day that Piggy is so cute and that they like Piggy so much, but when they meet, they either want to take off my pants or ask me for a book, which makes no girls team up with me. ! Angry!ヽ(`Д′)?”

He was forced to do something difficult: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, stop talking about good brothers, these gang of handsome dogs are real! If you can’t stay any longer, come to Xizhou City. My house is quite big. You are welcome to come and play. I will take you to level up."

Unprofessional anti-Man: "Good brother! I'm here! QAQ"

Irena: "Fast forward to Brother Qiang. (Funny)"

Teng Teng: "There is still CP that I can't eat. Sure enough, I am still too young. (Ｔ▽Ｔ)"

Crow: "???"

Aoao Sesame Paste: "Meow meow meow?"

…

Vault 404.

It took Chu Guang a whole morning to move the manager's office to the browsing room on the B4 floor.

Not only does it have ready-made furniture, it also has a separate shower room, and the space is large enough. The environment is much better than his previous simple office.

Anyway, this floor is not suitable for opening to other players. If you are idle, you will be idle. It is better to make use of the space here.

Sitting on the soft sofa, Chu Guang drank the happy water he endorsed while browsing the official website forum to see what new things his little players had done that he had not thought of.

A week has passed since the launch of a round of testing.

In the past four days, 30 to 40 new players have entered the game every day, and the number of players on the server has now increased from 1,500 to 1,620.

"If it's fast, will the number of people exceed 2,000 in two weeks?"

Chu Guang glanced at the tablet beside him.

It lists the expenses of each department last week.

The most eye-catching line is task expenditure.

In the past week, the income from missions issued by the shelter to all players has reached nearly 900,000 silver coins.

The average daily income of players has also increased to 97 silver coins.

Of course, this number is mainly driven by players in the T0~T2 echelon. The income growth curve of players before LV10 is still relatively flat.

Chu Guang also discovered it recently.

The inflation caused by giving money to players is actually not as high as expected.

On the one hand, players have an internal circulation economic system. The money earned by player A is either spent with player B, or consumed in the NPC store "collectively operated by the shelter", and only a small part will flow directly into the market.

Another is that players neither have to support a family nor have children. At most, they eat a lot. In addition, everyone has the habit of saving money, so their spending power is not as high as imagined.

The warehouse balance system established by Chu Guang in the early version has stabilized the prices of basic materials such as grain and minerals to a certain extent.

After several rounds of updates and adjustments, this system has become relatively complete.

However, it is unrealistic to expect one method to solve all problems.

As the number and levels of players continue to rise, new problems gradually emerge.

It takes too long for new players to assemble a set of equipment, and it takes half a month to assemble a set of equipment. Old players have too many silver coins in their pockets to spend them all, so they have to raise the prices of high-end equipment to the sky.

How to give new players a sufficient gaming experience and give old players more motivation to make money?

Very simple.

Build a "reservoir" and put the excess silver coins in it.

Thinking of this, Chu Guang, who was sitting on the sofa, straightened up and tapped on the keyboard to create a new folder.

\u0026a0.2 version update: Silver coin trading system]

[Change: Players who obtain VM can digitize their silver coin assets, synchronize them to the official forum account in real time, and conduct transactions with other players in the form of digital currency. 】

[Note: Cloud players can also participate in transactions. 】

Of course, this is just a first draft, and the specific transaction details still need to be carefully designed. But these are minor issues, and there are too many cases that can be learned from.

Looking at the edited document, Chu Guang showed a happy smile on his face.

Although it is not convenient for him to directly pay RMB to the hard-working players, there is always someone who can do these things for him.

What kind of chips, dinars, CRs, etc. are just hammers.

Can you convert your native currency into money?

Chu Guang will not only give players a reason to work harder to make money, but also make them obediently hand over to him the foreign exchange earned from other survivor settlements.

As the value of silver coins increases, more "useful" professional players should be born in the future.

"Don't you think you can't afford the equipment?"

"Aren't you clamoring for PY every day?"

"The market is open, let's go play."
