This Game Is Too Realistic

Seven o'clock.

As players went offline one after another, the official website gradually became lively.

It has been 12 hours since the Alpha 0.3 version was launched. Whether they are prospective players who have made a reservation but have not yet obtained the qualifications, or those cloud players who have not made a reservation at all, they are all waiting for first-hand information about the new version.

Chu Guang gave little sister Xia Yan a meal, then hummed a little tune and sat down in front of the computer. He opened the forum and started to peek at the screen.

The first post I saw was from Jun Jun.

【Finally confirmed today! The tire factory three kilometers north of the abandoned construction site is a predator camp! The number of people is probably between 50 and 100! I originally wanted to capture a prisoner, but there were too many of them. Fortunately, those people were obviously frightened by me. I slapped the dog that bit my arm and stunned it, and escaped while they were reloading. 】

[Damn, that dog almost bit my tail off! The predators I encountered this time were much more ferocious than last time! 】

Chu Guang: "..."

What is written in this post is different from what I heard half an hour ago.

Chu Guang remembered that this guy said he didn't take the initiative to provoke those predators? The injuries on his body were from running into a predator patrol on his way back.

However, according to the statement in the post, it seems that he took the initiative to capture a prisoner.

This guy isn't telling the truth.

Chu Guang thought for a while and shook his head.

Forget it, it’s not important.

The first posts to go out are usually not very nutritious.

Regarding Jun Jun’s predator camp, the veterans in the forum listened to him brag about it for almost three days. As a result, after squatting for three days, he was beaten to death and fled.

Everyone in the building expressed their disapproval.

Quit smoking: [What the hell is the number of people between 50 and 100? How many are they? You're a scout, worse than a Teletubbies. 】

Irena: [I took off my pants not to fart, eh, just for fun. (funny)】

What can I do if you are proud of me: [Hot chicken, if there are less than 100 people, I will blame you for being such a coward! Don’t know how to fly a kite? Kill one at a time, won't they all be killed after several repetitions? Bah, what am I talking about? This game doesn’t even exist! 】

All the good names are given to dogs: [Move! vegetable! 】

Sisi: [You can’t beat the mobs even with a special profession, it’s so embarrassing! Why don't you come and play with me! 】

Picking up trash level 99: [? ? ? Why don't you show me how to move? Grass! Can you believe that even the mobs can tactically outflank, shoot alternately, and release dogs? ! 】

Quit smoking: [I would like to! Give me your number and I'll show it to you. 】

Garbage Picking Level 99: [I am Nen Die! 】

The post was completely distorted and turned into a lizard brother quarreling with the crowd, just like the time when Crow Crow, who was given for free, faced off against a group of players.

However, no matter how he described the situation at that time, it could not change the fact that he was labeled as a dish in the hearts of cloud players.

Perhaps, only after the camera function is released in the future can his name be rectified.

Chu Guang was very aware of the fighting prowess of those predators.

These people may not have strong equipment, poor physical fitness, and poor discipline like goblins in a fantasy world, but their street fighting talents are almost full.

After all, these people have never stopped fighting since the first year of the Wasteland Era. The genes of plunder have long been integrated into their blood and marrow, and have been passed down for countless generations.

After reviewing the beautiful Mandarin in Junjun's post, Chu Guang closed the post and continued browsing the forum.

It has been a while since players went offline, and a lot of high-quality content has begun to emerge.

What surprised Chu Guang most was that many new faces he had met for the first time appeared in these high-quality contents.

For example, an ID called "The Mole on the Run in the Canyon".

Chu Guang looked at his personal information and found that he was a newcomer who entered the game in Alpha0.2 version.

Judging from historical remarks, he found the official website of Wasteland OL through a link shared by a friend because of urban legends circulating in the stand-alone game circle.

To sum it up in one sentence, he is also a guy who has a lot of free time at night.

"Mole Express: Hardcore observations about the new version!" Cloud players and newbies please take a detour! 》

"Hello everyone, I'm your big-nosed mole. After going online today, I discovered that the game has undergone major changes. The production team finally realized a small piece of the big pie he painted. I really love the new version! Yay!"

"Let me start with the conclusion: I am totally blown away by the newly designed economic system this time! Although there are currently only a few simple supply chains, some details are enough to get a glimpse of the ambition of the production team! They are indeed playing a big game!"

"But I won't brag about rainbow farts here. I'm just going to briefly talk about my findings, which may bring you some help!"

[There are currently two recognized ways to make money with low threshold and high returns in the game, one is to burn cement, and the other is to hunt. The former has a stable income and can be operated by one person, but it needs to be grabbed because there are not many people needed every day. The latter has unstable income, needs equipment, and is almost impossible to farm alone. If you want to take the hunter route, it is best to form a team with sentience! 】

"There is no technical content in burning cement. We are only talking about hunter gameplay here!"

"A mutated hyena weighing 30 kilograms can be sold directly to the granary for 5 silver coins. After spending some time butchering it, 12 kilograms of raw meat can be produced, which is instantly worth 40 silver coins. Isn't it amazing?"

"Of course, what I'm talking about here is just value! Value! Highlights."

"The granary of the outpost does not accept raw meat, only unprocessed prey and dried meat that can be stored directly. And like other games, there is a buying and selling price difference in the NPC shop. For example, dried meat costs 5 silver coins to buy one kilogram, but If you recycle it, you’ll only be given 1 silver coin per kilogram, so the price difference of five times is outrageous!”

"You can make more money by making dried meat from the prey you catch and selling it to NPCs, but if you buy raw meat from the NPC shop and smoke it yourself, you might even lose money!"

"But it's actually okay. I've seen even more outrageous things in other games. It's nothing. Especially in online games, things bought for 1,000 game coins can only be sold for 1 game coin. It's just a stupid thing. The genius of this game plan is to use the price difference between buying and selling goods in NPC stores to encourage players to trade with each other instead of buying inventory from NPCs."

"Here is a small idea. The hunting team can find one or two players to cooperate, butcher the prey themselves and make it into dried meat and fur."

"Part of the air-dried meat can be sold to players at a price lower than that of the granary. One kilogram is cut into ten parts, and the selling price is 1 to 9 silver coins. It depends on you and other players' wallets. It doesn't matter if you can't sell them all. You can sell them to the granary before dark. If you dispose of it, you can still make another fortune.”

"Although this operation will take more time, the theoretical income of a mutant hyena can at least double. Isn't it wonderful?"

"In addition, according to my research, running a business is actually a way to play, but currently it seems that the operation is difficult and unprofitable. It takes 5 silver coins to purchase one kilogram of bacon in the NPC store and transport it to Brown Farm It can be exchanged for 5 kilograms of grain (theoretically). The latter is only worth 5 silver coins when shipped back to the outpost! And this is the price at the NPC store! The price will be lower! No matter if it is sold to NPCs or players, they will lose blood."

"Considering that the name of the current expansion pack is "Winter is Coming," it is estimated that the production team's testing focus is not on the trade system. I am very much looking forward to the next version, where the production team can focus on developing the trade system."

"An economic system without exports and only domestic sales is incomplete. Wouldn't it be more interesting to balance the relationship between production and import and export through tariffs and prices? Please consider the production team! If the server CPU allows it!"

Chu Guang read the post and liked it, but did not make any comments.

It's a good idea, but it doesn't make much sense at this stage.

Keyboard economists often fall into the misunderstanding of idealists. Excessive grand narratives do not actually help solve the immediate problems.

From the perspective of planners and players, this idea of ​​enriching the playability of the game is indeed a good one.

But from the perspective of the manager of Vault 404, it's a different situation.

For Chu Guang, everything in the shelter, even the bodies of the players, belongs to him. Why would he let them take their own things to do business with their neighbors?

Unless they can do better than themselves.

But this is obviously impossible.

Even Chu Guang himself was often ostracized and mistrusted by some of the scavengers on Beit Street because of his accent. Moreover, due to his lack of understanding of the market and rules, he was unable to put his work to use even if he had sales experience in his previous life.

This is a wasteland.

A dystopian collection of scum and villains.

Scumbags selling ships and swindlers selling bad financial derivatives will fare better than bankers or economists who follow the rules.

Let the players do business with these wealthy locals, regardless of whether they can use 1% of their eloquence normally. Even if they can use it, so what?

It's better to bring more guns with you.

Chu Guang suddenly understood the old leech on Beit Street—oh no, the old mayor.

This guy is indeed not a good guy, his food and appearance are ugly enough, his exploitation is just for pleasure, and he has no long-term plans for the future of Beit Street.

But if the scavengers are left to trade with the merchants, those poor people will only be squeezed even more miserably.

This is not just a matter of ignorance.

Only a naive person would think that a businessman from Boulder City would be more benevolent than a rich man from the countryside.

It's like comparing bats and leeches to see which one sucks better.

"There is no point in encouraging players to trade with indigenous forces. Every large-scale transaction involving exports must be carried out under supervision. For example, setting up a fixed caravan, planning routes and trading varieties, listing commodity prices, players acting as guards to be responsible for transportation, and NPCs responsible Handover, return five-five or three-seven... This can also take care of less hardcore players and simplify the transaction process."

"However, tariffs are indeed a good idea. This can be remembered! In the future, based on actual needs, we can consider allowing outside NPCs to directly participate in the players' market... The prerequisite is to barter or use the currency of the shelter."

And under supervision.

"free trade?"

"hehe."

"When I need you to fight, I will naturally tell you who to trade freely with."

In addition to the strategy posts posted by "Canyon Mole", there are also posts posted by civil engineering dogs to exchange tips on building houses, and metallurgical engineering dogs discussing how to use limited materials to make steel efficiently.

Some people threw the link to station N and island A while chatting, and continued chatting in another place. In the end, they unexpectedly attracted a lot of new traffic to the website.

The urban legend about "fully immersive virtual reality online games" is showing signs of expansion. Although the vast majority of people treat it as a verbal pleasure, there are also a small number of people who take it seriously and click the reservation button with a half-joking attitude.

The number of reservations is growing steadily.

What surprised Chu Guang was that Lai Ri Fang Chang, who was usually the most popular and "the one who knows himself best", did not share his gaming experience on the forum this time.

The sun really comes out from the west.

While Chu Guang was wandering around the forum, the Cow Horse Club group was also very lively.

Although Brother Tianguang hasn't bubbled up these days, the topics in the group basically revolve around Wasteland OL.

At least that's the case in the morning.

Lao Bai: "Fang Chang, have you read the post on the official website? It's the one written by the big-nosed mole."

Storm: "People call the canyon the fugitive mole."

Lao Bai: "It's not important!"

Fang Chang: "I see, the method proposed in that post is a bit interesting, but it doesn't make much sense."

Lao Bai: "Huh? I think it's okay! You can earn 5 silver by selling a prey directly to an NPC. If you find someone to slaughter and dry a dragon, the value will at least double."

Fang Chang: "Haha, the theory is a theory, but he ignored the existence of contribution points."

Ye Shi: "What do you mean?"

Fang Chang: “You can think of citizenship as a registered residence in Shenzhen City, and contribution points are settlement points.”

Kuangfeng: "Jue, your metaphor is a bit slutty..."

Fang Chang: "I mean. Among all the players now, except for a few of us who have upgraded our citizens, Mosquito who works as a carpenter and Teng Teng who makes clothes can barely make up 2000 points. In other words, except for these six people , everyone else needs to make contributions and become a citizen, and the second thing is to make money.”

Only when you become a citizen can you buy land.

Even a fool can see that the sooner you buy a property, the better.

Fang Chang: "After thinking about this issue carefully, let's analyze the others. Among these six people, who do you think is more suitable to be a butcher? Do you have any experience in butchering?"

Lao Bai: "Well, this is indeed a problem."

Ye Shi: "No, I just want to ask, is slaughtering difficult?"

Kuangfeng: "...No one who has ever gone to the supermarket to buy food can ask such a question."

Fang Chang: "Ye Shi is still in school and has no normal life experience. Just the method mentioned in the strategy post is not feasible at the moment. We need to find another salesperson and a butcher, and six people will share the profits. It may not be possible You’ll make more.”

"Actually, I have settled this account a long time ago, but I just didn't say anything about it. When that tomato-stir-fried egg becomes a citizen, we can try to talk to him about cooperation, although I don't think we need to have high hopes."

Ye Shi: "Why?"

Fang Chang: "You are stupid, why are you cooperating with us? Wouldn't it be great to save enough money to buy a piece of land, open a restaurant of your own, and take over the butchering business by the way?"

Lao Bai: "Damn it! If you say that, if you know how to butcher and cook! You can make a lot of money in this game!"

Fang Chang: "It can only be said that it is at this stage, but it may not be possible if we wait a little longer."

Fang Chang: "Our first priority is to upgrade, and then to increase proficiency. In any open-ended game, it is relatively easy to make money in the early stage of life and career play, but in the middle and late stages, the first echelon will always be those who are truly strong. By!"

Kuangfeng: "Hey, you have figured out how to play games... I have always wondered why you don't become a professional gamer."

Fang Chang: "I didn't have the chance before, but now, haha, I feel like the opportunity has come."

Trash Picking Level 99: "Boss! Please take my knee off!"

WC really has mosquitoes: “Take me one too!”

Fang Chang: "Okay, haha! We are all in the same group. From now on, the guild will be called the Cow and Horse Club!"

Lao Bai: "Ahem, how about changing your name?"

Ye Shi: "Why change it? What a nice name it is. (Funny)"

Fang Chang: "It doesn't matter whether you change your name or not. But let me tell you, your contribution should be almost enough, Mosquito, but Mr. Junk has been playing in the wild these days, so it's probably still a little short. Your first priority now is to become a citizen. Citizens then save money! When the time comes, let’s work together and build a house directly in front of the resurrection point. The first floor will be used as shops along the street, and the second and third floors will be used as partitions for each person to have a large standard room. Wouldn’t it be beautiful? "

Lao Bai: "That will be our guild base from now on! (Excited)"

There are really mosquitoes in WC: "Brother, be steady!"

Trash Picking Level 99: "6666!"

Quit smoking: "Fuck! I really want to play!!! T.T"
