This game is too real.

Chapter 112 Hummingbird!and auctions!
This little guy is actually a drone?

Well, I almost made a fool of myself.

Seeing the two pairs of propellers popping up above his head, hanging and floating the silver metal ball in front of him, Chu Guang poked it with great interest.

Can it be adaptive and stable?

"interesting."

Change the propellers into wings, paint the sphere in gold, and make it a little smaller, so it looks like the golden snitch in Harry Potter.

On the light blue label attached by the system to this thing, the five words ["Hummingbird" drone] are written, and it is equipped with a long list of instructions for use.

To put it simply, this thing can be connected to any electronic device with imaging technology and information transmission function, and only needs to insert a thumbnail-sized plug-in.

The common interface on the VM just fits this plug-in.

However, is this thing a weapon?

Chu Guang looked back at Xiao Qi.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Xiao Qi said aggrievedly.

"But you didn't ask me, master."

Emmm...

It seems so.

Chu Guang didn't blame it. After playing with the toy for a while, he continued to ask.

"What's the use of this thing? Can it shoot?"

Could it be a self-destruct?

If it's really a one-time consumable, that's too bad.

Xiao Qi: "Its function is mainly for reconnaissance... For such a small guy, it is not easy to integrate a long-life battery and a motor. Surely it can't carry combat parts?"

"Reconnaissance?" Chu Guang stood beside the drone and observed for a while, "Why didn't I see its camera?"

Xiao Qi continued to explain.

"The camera has been integrated with the surface material, and it must be invisible to the naked eye. But don't worry about performance. Although the camera is small, it is very powerful! The 60 dot-matrix camera clusters distributed on the surface of the sphere can have no dead ends. It collects 360-degree area high-definition images, which can be used even in nighttime environments.”

Although the camera cannot be seen, the whole body is covered with cameras that are smaller than a pinhole. Is this what you mean?

Speaking of having a camera, doesn't it mean that you can take pictures?
Although Xiaoqi can also take pictures, but because the range of activities is too small, at most she can stand on the nursing home and pat the players at work.

With this thing, you should be able to take a lot of interesting photos.Add a little filter, a proper movie-level game CG.

Chu Guang touched his chin and continued to ask.

"What about the flight altitude? There's also the distance, working time, and... how to charge it?"

Xiao Qi replied quickly.

"Charging is very simple. The drone has a built-in wireless charging interface. It can be automatically charged in the shelter like me, and I can share part of my power with it."

"As for the flight altitude, it is recommended to fly at a low altitude below 100m. Although it is not impossible to fly to an altitude of hundreds of meters in theory, it is recommended not to stay at high altitude for too long. Working at high altitude for a long time will not only damage the engine. The load will also bring safety hazards.”

"As for the distance, if there are not many obstacles, it can be used within a range of three kilometers, but it is also not recommended to be too far away from the terminal. After all, this is a close-range reconnaissance drone. The advantage is the long battery life of nearly 12 hours and the complex Overcoming obstacles in the environment... long-distance reconnaissance is still a bit difficult."

When encountering a place with many obstacles, the signal transmission will be affected.

However, the control chip of the "Hummingbird" UAV has an integrated automatic return program. Once the connection is lost, the AI ​​will be activated automatically, and the UAV will be controlled to return to the starting coordinates or the preset assembly point according to the video images in the cached data and the estimated route.

After understanding the function of this little guy, Chu Guang reached out and took off the drone, and the more he held it in his hand, the more he liked it.

If you throw the drone into the sky before fighting, it is equivalent to inserting a real eye on the enemy's head.

Video and images can be received through the VM.

It's just too awesome!
"Owner……"

"What's the matter?" Hearing Xiao Qi's voice, Chu Guang glanced at it curiously, "Is there any other function that hasn't been introduced?"

"That...can you give it to Xiao Qi?" Xiao Qi suggested weakly, "Your VM can be directly connected to the main server of the shelter, and all the images I see can be directly transmitted to you. You Give it to me, and Xiaoqi can see farther, and it will also help you monitor the activities of players more conveniently."

"That's a good idea." Chu Guang's eyes lit up.

This thing is certainly useful in battle, but the chances of going to the front line are actually not many. In addition, the defense power is piled up like an iron bucket, so multiple of these things are actually not that useful.

It's better to take it to spy screen.

No, it should be said strategic investigation!
Xiao Qi continued.

"Master, when I helped you sort out the information yesterday, I noticed that a signal tower seemed to be mentioned in the guard's diary? If the power supply of that signal tower can be restored, the signal coverage of Vault 404 may be further expanded. Oh."

Chu Guang placed the drone on top of Xiaoqi's head, and continued talking with great interest.

"You mean...the signal tower used by the guards to communicate with the survivors on the surface? I have considered it, but based on the clues returned by the players exploring the map, it seems that there is nothing to gain."

Xiao Qi continued.

"The function of that signal tower should not be just to communicate with the surface. According to the clues in the recording, it seems that the refuge has been collecting radio signals on the ground as analysis samples for several years after the war."

"According to my speculation, this signal tower should have complete signal sending and receiving functions. Maybe we can use it to provide information services for players' VM devices. In this way, even in areas far away from the shelter, you can Release the mission to the players."

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"It's a good idea, but the question is where do we find this signal tower? Do you have a map?"

Xiao Qi said immediately.

"Although there is no map, it is obvious that this signal tower is near us? If the nearby two kilometers area has been explored by the players—"

Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang suddenly reacted.

"Seventy-sixth Street?"

Xiao Qi said happily.

"Hmm! The master is awesome!"

indeed.

After eliminating all wrong options, the final answer will naturally surface.

To the west and northwest of the Wetland Park is the lake, to the south is mostly wasteland, abandoned buildings, and abandoned park facilities, and to the south is Beit Street and the Fifth Ring Road to the south of Beit Street.

As for the area going north to the abandoned tire factory, the players in the shelter have already figured it out. The only thing they haven't explored is No. 76 Street directly opposite the east gate.

Speaking of which, the ruins of the greenhouse seem to be at the entrance of 76th Street.

The range of activities of the players is getting closer and closer to the border of mutants.

Chu Guang looked at the map and fell into deep thought.

"Tsk."

"We have to figure out a way to get rid of those green-skinned muscular guys."

……

The next morning.

The heavy snow has rested for a while, and it seems that today is a rare sunny day.

At the entrance of the weapons store, a large circle of people was bustling.

Later players stood on their tiptoes, looked through the crowd, grabbed the players next to them, and asked what was going on.

"What happened? Why are there so many people crowded here?"

"Auction in the weapon shop!"

"Auction?! When will there be a team battle again, why don't I know?"

"It's not a team battle, it's just an ordinary auction! I don't know what's going on, it seems to be a temporary event in the game, haven't you checked the official website?"

"No! As soon as I got home, I put the helmet on my head before I took off my clothes!"

"Damn it, you don't even take a shower?"

"Wake up in the morning and wash it! How can reality be as cool as a game?"

"Crazy crazy."

Chu Guang glanced at the crowd around him, seeing that it was almost time for people to come, he cleared his throat, raised the bow in his hand, and said in a solemn and solemn tone.

"...This is a mechanical compound bow from the deepest part of the shelter. There are legends about it... Well, in fact, it has not left any legends."

"But it doesn't matter!"

"Brand new limbs, shiny bowstrings, graduated zoom sights, battery packs and electric drive to charge the pulleys! Helps you deliver the killer blow! It's the undisputed latest, for Born to hunt. The legend about it is waiting for you to write!"

"The starting price is 100 silver coins! Each price increase must not be less than 1 silver coin!"

"unlimited!"

No price limit!
Stimulate!

The moment the voice fell, the atmosphere at the scene boiled instantly.

"101 silver!"

"I'll give you 102 silver!"

"Damn! Something's wrong with you! I'll give you 110 silver!"

"My hand is 120 silver. No matter how you look at it, this bow is better than a gun. If you use a three-edged arrow, it might be able to shoot through—"

"130 silver! You talk too much!"

"180!!"

The shouts were broken.

There was an instant silence.

Everyone looked at the person who was asking the price. They thought it was the mosquito who never went to the front line, but it turned out to be "the only book brother who was personally banned by the planner" on the forum-【Mole on the Run in the Canyon 】

Can he use a bow and arrow?

Feeling a little embarrassed by everyone's eyes, Mole argued with a red face.

"I'm in the agile department, is there a problem?"

Silent.

Due to his momentum, Xiaomengxin, who was close to him, beeped softly.

"No……"

"Right--"

"Cough, I'm 188, make up an auspicious number."

"!"

Mole, who had just been complacent for two seconds, suddenly turned his head to look at the raised hand in the crowd.Seeing this, the people around sighed one after another, and the mosquitoes really made a move.

After the price broke 150, it was a fight between the gods.

Players in the third tier have withdrawn from the bidding, and players in the second tier remain on the sidelines.

To be honest, anyone can sell weapons to anyone, but Chu Guang doesn't want to sell them to mosquitoes.Every time this guy takes pictures, he never uses them, and keeps them as collectibles.

For example, the scorpion-style submachine gun, and the double-barreled shotgun that the big boss of the blood hand clan exploded, Chu Guang never saw this guy bring it out and use it.

Stock up with wool!
Can you have cubs or what can you do?
At this moment, a big hand of justice was raised.

"200 silver!"

"Fuck?!"

"Two, two hundred?!"

The eyes of the mole and the mosquito were instantly rounded.

Looking back suddenly, the person who raised his hand turned out to be Elder Fang, who entered the game earlier than them.

The players around were also whispering.

"200 silver for a bow?!"

"Crazy, this money can buy two guns!"

"But I think it shouldn't be a loss. For example, attaching explosives to the triangular arrow...Have you ever played Graphics Crisis? That's what I'm talking about."

"MMP, don't talk about it, I want to buy it even in the intelligence department!"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Fang Chang ignored the whispers of other players, looked at Brother Mosquito, and smiled embarrassedly.

"Brother, save face... I bought it and it is really useful."

Among these players, probably no one knows how to use bows and arrows better than him.

Mosquito reluctantly spread his hand, expressing surrender.

"My own, I give up."

It's okay not to give up.

He did make a fortune selling wooden bows to newcomers before, but he also spent a lot of money on "inventions and creations". In addition to the previous purchases, the money in his pocket added up to 190 silver.

cried the Mole with a look of annoyance.

"Hey! Where did you get so much money? You embezzled public funds!"

Before Fang Chang could speak, Ye Shi came out.

"Hehe, do you think we don't do anything else besides burning bricks? Not to mention anything else, just the exclusive task of the brick factory, to increase the daily output to more than 5000, there will be 100 silver coins directly—"

Before he finished speaking, Lao Bai covered Ye Shi's mouth.

"Okay, okay, don't talk."

If you are heard by the planner, you will be careful.

But that being said, the 200 silver coins were actually all deposited by the cattle and horse team.The reason why Fang Chang didn't raise his cards before was actually discussing with his teammates.

Without going around in circles, he wanted the bow.

His current archery hit rate is already able to hit a moving target 50 meters away. If he can get this bow, his combat effectiveness will be directly doubled, and the team's DPS will also increase a lot!

The other three teammates didn't have any complaints either. They also hacked together when they played other games, and it was the same if they changed games.

The team's output has increased, but you still worry about not making money?

Especially Ye Shi, who is most supportive of elder brother Fang.After all, the bolt-action rifle he is using now is what Fang Chang proposed to raise funds for him.

Mole on the run in the canyon: "Oh, you are really rich, crying."

Fang Chang smiled and said: "I'm sorry brother, next time I have something good, I will definitely not grab it from you!"

Mole on the run in the canyon: "I remember that!"

Just like that, the fight between the rich players came to an end, everyone dispersed and went about their business.

Brother Mole is still the same as yesterday, pulling the convoy formed on the forum, and rushing towards the copy of the greenhouse ruins together.As for the two brothers lying dead in the team, they were replaced by two freshmen of the strength department.

Insect-type dungeons are rare and difficult for perception-type players to play. Most of the insect-type variants seem to have their own hidden bonuses, and they can't perceive them at all.

The official website forum has reached a consensus. When downloading this kind of dungeon, it is better to bring two more tanks with scouting.

If you can resist it, you will have output.

As for the team of cattle and horses, Chu Guang specially used the drone to observe and found that they did not stay in the brick factory, but walked out of the Wetland Park along the north gate, and went to a collapsed department store between the tire factory and the abandoned construction site .

is there something there

Chu Guang was very curious, but he didn't follow the drone. After all, it was more than three kilometers away, and the signal was somewhat affected.

Anyway, if they found a good thing, they should bring it back to themselves. When the time comes, they will look through the strategy on the official website, and they will naturally figure it out.

……

All the combat professional players have gone to work, and there are only newcomers on errand tasks left in the base, as well as life professional players who play "Wasteland OL" as a health-preserving game.

When Chu Guang walked into the Fujiteng hut, the ingenious and handy Ms. Fujiteng was standing on the bench, facing a wooden board painted with charcoal pencil, teaching three intelligence department students how to use leftovers to make fur coats. The scraps are used to make some leather goods such as holsters and scabbards.

"...There are no two identical leaves in the world, and there are no two identical furs in the world. You must remember this sentence well."

"If you want to become a qualified designer, you must first learn to distinguish the subtle differences between furs of similar sizes. Only when you have selected the materials can you start the next step."

"have you understood?"

Standing on the bench and giving lectures, Teng Teng is like a teacher in the first class of kindergarten.

The three players stared at each other, obviously not understanding, but still nodded in confusion.

"Understood!"

"Awesome!"

Seeing that his students are so savvy, Fujiteng nodded in satisfaction, patted his black hands, and jumped off the bench.

Just at this time, she saw the manager standing at the entrance, and her eyes lit up.

Hidden mission delivered to your door? !

"Well, you should think about it yourself first!"

After throwing down a sentence, Fujiteng immediately walked towards the entrance and said excitedly.

"My dear manager, do you have any orders?"

Chu Guang went straight to the point and said.

"The outpost recently captured a batch of devil moth cocoons. The devil silk drawn from these cocoons is all high-quality materials. I would like to ask if you have a way to weave them into usable cloth."

"Weaving?" Fujiteng looked blank, "I remember that before weaving, you have to reel the silk?"

Honestly, she won't.

If it is just clothing design, such "basic" knowledge is not needed at all.Even the fur processing she is doing now is taught by herself through the learning materials downloaded from the Internet after playing "Wasteland OL".

Now the manager has given her another problem.

Although with the help of the Internet, it is not difficult to find some public information.But what she wasn't sure about was whether the information she found was still valid for devil moth cocoons.

By the way, would anyone really use the cocoons of this mutated moth to make clothes?

As strange as it sounds.

Chu Guang looked at Fujiteng and continued.

"Whether it's reeling or whatever, I need it to turn into usable silk thread and cloth. If we can make use of these materials, we can make lighter and more durable armor, and the excess products can be replaced with our urgently needed The lack of food... do you have any good ideas?"

Although he didn't have much confidence, when Fujito learned the importance of this task from the manager, he nodded energetically.

"Although I haven't tried it before, I think I can give it a try!"

At the same time as the voice fell, a task pop-up window was received on her VM.

【Task: Textile Craft】

[Briefing: The outpost has obtained a batch of devil silk. These are high-quality materials, but if we want to turn these materials into silk threads and cloth, we must first solve the problem of production tools. 】

[Requirement: Make a spinning machine and a loom. 】

[Reward: 100 silver coins]

[Remarks: Although a manual spinning machine and loom are enough to complete the task, if you can combine the current needs of the outpost to make a production machine with better performance, it may trigger additional hidden rewards. 】

100 silver coins!

When seeing the task reward, Fujiteng's eyes instantly turned the color of silver coins.

Especially the note at the end.

If you can make a production machine with excellent performance, it may trigger additional hidden rewards!
"Don't worry, my lord manager!"

With his index finger poked on the VM screen, Fujiteng raised his head excitedly, and continued vowing, "Fujiteng will definitely live up to your expectations!"

"Well, please."

Chu Guang nodded in satisfaction.

If he had to figure out these troublesome things by himself, he would be able to think about it until next year just by making steel.

But with these industrious and brave little players...

Chu Guang suddenly felt that life in the wasteland was actually not as difficult as he imagined.
