This game is too real.

Chapter 236 Beast Tamer Gameplay!The intelligence department has been strengthened again?

While Chu Guang was busy counting his trophies, the forum on the official website of "Wasteland OL" was bustling.

It was silent all winter.

The chaos from the north has been invading the southern border of the River Valley Province.

And just today, a hearty epic victory dispelled all the dark clouds in an instant!

[Full server announcement: Operation "Spring Thunder" has won]

[The battle report has been announced and sent to the player's personal mailbox and the VM in the game simultaneously. 】

[Because a large amount of materials were seized during the battle, the food supply returned to normal, the "Wartime Regulations" ended early, and the purchase of restricted resource items was reopened for purchase.All players participating in the battle, in addition to contribution points and regional prestige, will also gain +5 favorability with NPCs such as Guo Niu, Guo Ma, Luka, and Wrench. 】

【Added new facilities in Changjiu Farm: two 100mm howitzers. 】

[Guang: Thank you for your active participation. This campaign has provided us with valuable data. The production of the Apha1.0 version has entered the final stage, and it will be released together with the new expansion pack, so stay tuned! 】

Tail: "Oh!!"

Quit smoking: "Mosquitoes are awesome! Of course, planning is also awesome!"

Fang Chang: "Too strong, no, it should be said to be too harsh!"

Ye Shi: "Mosquito burst into tears and said that there are eight versions, from bloody hands to bone chewing, and I finally became an MVP. (Funny)"

WC really has mosquitoes: "Goblin Technology is now launching a new product! 88mm mortar! There is also a 'Hell Breath' diesel-powered motorcycle! It consumes 15 kilograms of wood per [-] kilometers, which is very easy to use!"

Irena: "There is an advertisement here, please block it from the moderator. (Funny)"

Ya'er, I want to go to the toilet and ask: "Damn, am I not awesome? I blow up 7 vehicles! I scared one to death!"

Rim paddling: "Our team blew up a tank. (squinting smile)"

Mole on the run in the canyon: "Our team killed the commander!"

Chicken killing at midnight: "I have 20 heads."

Spring Water Commander: "What's the use? The head score is not high! Are the two of you combined as high as our team?"

Fujito: "Everyone is very good, don't quarrel. QAQ"

Ye Shi: "You don't understand, this is their way of bragging. (Funny)"

Yaya: "When I save enough power armor, I will accompany you to the front line!"

I am the darkest: "You are worse than spring water. (Surprised)"

Commander Quanshui: "Where is my father! (angry)"

Not only the players are enjoying themselves, but also the tens of thousands of cloud players queuing up are also enjoying themselves.

A 2-minute video and [-] original paintings and game CG.

And it's actually a demonstration shoot!

Isn't this more delicious than the cakes painted by EA? !
Riding a donkey to the market: "Oh, if the actual game screen can be half of the promotional PV, I will die without regret."

Irena: "Beta test players are very responsible to tell you that the promotional PV is only half of the actual game screen. (Funny)"

It's all about Ganna: "Please don't test it, it's already complete, I'm going to play with a semi-finished product, and beg for a chance to be a tool maker."

Silver Hand: "Is the production team short of money? Are you considering crowdfunding?"

Sword of Silver: "Do you need venture capital?"

Professor Yang, the King of Raiden: "Such an awesome technical proposal goes directly to the market."

Carrying a bag of rice several floors: "Is it okay that the actual game screen is so exciting?"

Potatoes from Siberia: "Yeah, what to do if you have a heart attack?"

Gufeng: "I heard that this helmet seems to use dream imaging technology, which is completely divorced from traditional visual imaging technology. Simply put, the images you see in the game are probably the same as what you dreamed in your dreams. There will not be too obvious sensory stimulation where you can bear it. This stimulation includes pain and various physiological levels... Although I searched for a long time and couldn't find any literature, they just did it."

Night Ten: "Vault technology is so scary. (Funny)"

Professor Yang, the King of Raiden: "If you don't understand, ask, can you do bad things in the game?"

Lao Bai: "Currently only the lawful camp is available for players to choose. It can be regarded as an orthodox MMORPG. However, the playability and freedom are still much better than the mass-produced skin-changing fast food on the assembly line. You can feel the NPCs are alive, they have their own unique moral values ​​and likes and dislikes. You can do whatever you want, as long as it doesn’t affect other people’s game experience.”

Master Ao Nai and I He: "I laughed, what's the point of that? Master likes to be the imperial city PK, open and hang explosive servers. Garbage games, dogs don't make reservations!"

Fengfeng: "A hot piece of knowledge, there is no game in this world that can be enjoyed by 70 billion people, even if it is Fighting the Landlord. (Squint eyes)"

Ye Shi: "Touch the dog's head of Brother Ao, come back quickly, there is no half of your joy in the group. (Funny)"

Brother Ye Ao didn't do a good job this time, and everyone said that the combat power was too weak, and they were quickly buried in the replies.

But it's normal.

Even if it is a pet, it is impossible to be in the state every day.

After counting the spoils, Chu Guang glanced at the forum and found that 90.00% of the posts in the gossip section were discussing the 2-minute PV.

From the launch of the rocket to the charge under the whistle, the camera switches between the perspective of the drone and the players. The shocking light and shadow effects are like a real battlefield.

For the more exciting scenes, the drone controlled by Xiaoqi gave a few close-ups.

For example, an awakened player of the power system holds a machine gun like Rambo, and shoots out of the billowing smoke.

Another example is that on the charging tracked vehicle, the machine gun bursts to harvest the predator's armored pickup.

Incidentally.

The video was edited by Xiao Qi according to the style of Chu Guang's promotional PV last time.

As for the BGM, it was also copied from the radio.

While The Sound of Rock is blah blah blah blah 24 out of 20 hours a day, it occasionally intersperses the blah blah with helpful information and good music.

At present, the BGM has been added to the official original soundtrack, which can be listened to online or downloaded and saved. It has been widely praised by many netizens, and they all expressed their desire to know who the composer is.

however.

What does this have to do with planning?
Ah Guang is just a small game planner, you should go to the music director.

……

The next day.

Before dawn, more than 200 prisoners of war formed a long line at the gate of Changjiu Farm.

They were dressed in dirty old fur clothes, with chains around their ankles, and expressions on their faces ranged from frustration to panic.

Or numbness and despair.

Two tracked trucks with fixed machine guns welded to the roof drove alongside the team.

In addition, there are 20 guards with Arbiter rifles on their backs and pu-9 submachine guns hanging on their waists, standing around the team.

Walking in front of the team, a mature-looking guard with a beard looked around at the prisoners and said in a loud voice.

"The crimes you committed in River Valley Province are enough to hang you ten times."

"But the benevolent manager believes that massacring the prisoners of war is an unjust act, and your blood will stain this land, so you are spared."

"You will go to the labor camp, where you will be reformed by labor, reclaim the wasteland north of Linghu Lake, build irrigation canals, and anything useful to this society...until you use labor to pay for the sins you have committed."

"50 years is a long sentence, but good behavior can reduce the sentence."

"Now, go."

50 years.

Most people simply don't live that long.

In the wasteland, 40 years old is considered a long life.

Only residents living in refuges or some rich survivors' settlements are likely to live longer.

But the phrase "good performance can reduce the sentence" still brought a little comfort to many people who were already desperate, or the motivation to live.

Even if no one tells them what is the standard for reducing the sentence and how much can be reduced.

The team started to set off on the road.

They needed to cut down enough wood to cover the prisoner-of-war camp before dark.

Otherwise, you will have to sleep in the snow tonight.

Vaides and Kevin stood by the side of the road, staring blankly at the team setting off on the road.

The two of them who were incorporated into the team originally had no hope for their future life.

But unexpectedly, they who had just been incorporated into the team were driven out by a guard at gunpoint.

Kevin asked nervously in a low voice.

"What do they want to do?"

"I don't know..." Just as Wilders said it, he suddenly saw a familiar face walking towards them.

The moment he saw that person, Wides was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Vanus?"

There was a bit of emotion on Vanus' face.

"I didn't expect to see you here."

The two graduated from the same military academy and knew each other when they were students.

After graduation, because of his excellent grades and outstanding performance in the academy, Vanus went directly to the front line as a captain of ten officers and served as a grassroots officer, while Vides joined the Youth Corps and started his army as a recruit career.

Due to the Legion's eastward strategy, the two joined the Expeditionary Force to fight against the Rift Valley under the command of General Klass.Later, Vaides' army suffered a disastrous defeat, and his whereabouts were unknown. Vanus thought that this guy was dead, but he didn't expect that he was still alive.

What he didn't expect was that the reunion of the two would be in such a dramatic form.

After listening to what happened to Vanus in the past few months, Vides smiled wryly.

"No wonder... so you are here. It seems that the idiot Black Snake deservedly lost."

These people not only successfully predicted their plan strategically, but also precisely avoided their vanguard tactically, set up an ambush to attack their rear in unexpected places, and created incredible results.

Even if he lost, Wilders couldn't help admiring how amazing it was.

However, after seeing Vanus, he was relieved.

We all graduated from the same classroom, even taught by the same teacher.

He knows all the tactics he knows, and he can basically think of what he can think of. This battle is really difficult to fight.

Vanus: "I didn't command this battle, and it wasn't me who defeated you. At most, I made some suggestions on deployment. But you are right in saying that you really didn't deserve to lose. Six centurions Throw it in front to explore the way, the supply convoy goes with the armored troops, and it stretches the battle line so long... What do you guys think?"

Seeing Vanus looking at him strangely, Vides said angrily.

"Do you think I want this?"

"At the risk of being thrown into the oil pan, I reminded that idiot more than once that the winter march was a wrong decision, but no one listened to me at all."

Kevin, who was standing aside, also nodded, and said with a constipated expression.

"That's not the only thing that's outrageous. We learned about the arrangement to march into Qingquan City in the early morning of the [-]st, and before we asked what the plan was, the vanguard had already set off. We didn't hold a combat meeting during this period. That Black Snake seemed to pat his head and decided to put all the chips in, and even which way to go was decided after the supplies were packed."

The big troops left at noon on the 1st, the war ended on the evening of the 2nd, and the construction of the prisoner-of-war camp started on the 3rd. A shed should be built before this evening.

Kevin has never fought such an aggrieved battle.

He would rather die on the northern front.

At least lost to a strong opponent, his own death can also look decent.

After hearing the deeds of the two, Vanus couldn't help showing a trace of sympathy.

He tried to bring in the positions of the two of them, and found that this battle was really impossible to fight.

With such a stupid commander on the stand, even if he was replaced by himself as a staff officer, the final result would probably be the same.

"I probably understand the situation...but how did you two get into the predator's tribe?"

Wilders and Kevin looked at each other and shook their heads.

"I don't know. When we retreated south, we encountered those predators. Our chief decided to join them, so we joined them."

Kevin continued.

"I heard...they seem to plan to establish a kingdom belonging to the plunderers in the River Valley Province, and other things are not clear."

Land of Predators?

What it is.

A huge tribe?
Vanus couldn't imagine what kind of a strange picture it was, let alone how they planned to realize it. This sounded like an outrageous plan.

"Speaking of you?" Vides looked at Vanus and continued to ask, "Are you their staff now? Or?"

Vanus froze for a moment and said.

"Me? I am also their prisoner, but they allow me to train recruits for them instead of paying the ransom."

Wilders looked at him eagerly.

"Ransom? How much?"

Vanus said with an ambiguous expression.

"100 million dinars, and this is last year's price. I don't know how much it is now. I advise you to give it up."

Both of them gasped.

100 million!

This is even if all the family property is sold, it is impossible to scrape together so much money!

"...Is the job of training recruits still recruiting?"

"Brother, help us."

Facing the two pairs of pleading gazes, Vanus said in embarrassment.

"I'll ask you guys... But I can't guarantee it, I can only say that I will do my best."

Wilders said excitedly.

"Thank you!"

Vanus said in a warning tone.

"Those blue coats didn't send you to the labor camp. They should have something to ask you. You should cooperate well and tell what you know. Don't hide it, and don't make it up. They won't embarrass you too much."

The two said immediately.

"rest assured!"

"We sure know everything!"

Vanus nodded reassuringly.

"That's good."

Cooperate well, have a correct attitude, and earnestly repent, even if you still have to undergo labor reform in the end, the place you go to will be better.

After all, it is the same job, playing with mud in a brick factory and digging potatoes in heavy snow, the probability of survival is completely different.

The former does a good job and has the opportunity to eat meat.

The latter is a deadly job...

……

The next morning.

The door of the weapons shop.

A dense circle of players surrounded them.

Looking at the empty shelves, everyone suddenly sighed and howled.

"Oh my god, I'm one step too late!"

"Hey! Sure enough, it's sold out!"

In yesterday's battle, not only 32 players were promoted to LV10, but also 57 players' cumulative contribution points finally exceeded [-], and they were gloriously upgraded to intermediate citizens.

And the per capita income was more than 400 silver, the highest even reached 600 silver!
For them whose average daily income was only 10 silver coins a few months ago, this is simply a huge sum of money!
The conditions for purchasing the Miner Type I exoskeleton are LV10 and intermediate citizens, but the price has not changed, and it has always been 2000 silver.

However, there are only 8 sets of equipment on the shelves in total.

Almost at the moment when the battle reward settlement was completed, the 8 sets of exoskeletons were instantly robbed.

At this moment, everyone finally realized that too many task rewards may not be all good things.

It is foreseeable that the ramen will increase in price tonight...

Looking at the distraught crowd, the battlefield atmosphere group smiled, put on the orange-painted exoskeleton, clenched their fists, and moved their limbs.

"Is this the power of technology? Nice."

When listening to everyone's discussion yesterday, he guessed that this might happen now.

So, he went online before dawn in the game, and before the weapon shop opened, people were already standing in line at the door.

The battle rewards had just been settled, and his savings had just exceeded 600 silver, including the reward of nearly 2000 silver coins, so he decisively bought the set of "Miner I" exoskeleton.

Facts have proved that this is an extremely wise decision.

Looking at those little players who kept regretting not coming earlier, he finally experienced the feeling of Brother Spring.

It's such a great feeling!
Edge paddling glanced at him.

"Cut, I don't need this thing."

The battlefield atmosphere group said with a chuckle.

"Brother, if you envy me, just say so, you don't have to beat around the bush like this. Want to play? I'll wear it for you for a while."

Edge paddling: "I'm envious of a hammer. If you wear this thing on your body, the resurrection cost will directly increase to 2000. If you explode this equipment once, you will go back to before liberation."

Even if you wear an exoskeleton, even if you install a steel plate, it's just a few more shuttles.

Why bother?
Wouldn't it be better not to get shot?

Putting on this thing will easily become the target of concentrated fire. No matter how thick the steel plate is, it is impossible to hold a tube that penetrates hundreds of depths like power armor.

Cheap and easy-to-use equipment is good equipment, and he is too lazy to fix this fancy stuff.

Of course, part of the reason is that he didn't buy it.

"Fuck..."

After listening to Brother Edge's words, the battlefield atmosphere group was stunned.

Looking at the equipment on his body, he instantly felt that it was not so fragrant.

What are you doing wearing this stuff?

Don't feel bad about dying once!

Although there are many people who regret buying it, for players who haven't bought it, those brothers with quick hands are still very enviable.

It's a pity that the equipment is bound and cannot be bought from other players.

But having said that, even if it can be traded, no one will sell it at all.

People who can afford it have almost the same silver coins in their pockets, except for a few local tyrants, it is impossible to charge an outrageous price.

As for over-the-counter transactions in RMB...

Not to mention that the official statement clearly does not guarantee the security of the transaction, and the consequences of being cheated are at your own risk. Even if there is a third-party guarantee, this thing cannot be priced.

How should the equipment in the beta testing stage be priced?

10?
100?
Maybe wait for the public beta, and the magic costume will turn into a whiteboard in seconds, and it won't just split in place.

The reason why the closed beta is called a closed beta is not because the rules of the game are not yet perfect.

There is no charge and no file deletion. Compared with those games that charge money and treat players like monkeys, this game is already very conscientious!

However, this does not prevent the players who have not bought the equipment from exhaling in anger.

"MMP, can the planner fix the bug that the NPC store does not restock? When will this bug be fixed?"

"When will the caravan come again, the blizzard has stopped!"

"I asked the planner secretly, and the planner told me to go, and told me that I wanted to equip myself to fight."

"I testify that this is definitely not what Brother Guang said. With Brother Guang's high EQ, he will definitely not let you go. At most, he will pretend to be stupid with you and kick the ball to art or R&D."

"I have experienced the pain of having money and having nowhere to spend it."

"By the way, there seems to be an exoskeleton there!"

"Five-style 'light cavalry' exoskeleton, damn it, it looks so handsome!"

"The price... [-]?! Let's go."

"Hey! You need senior citizens! 5 contribution points!? I just reached the intermediate level!"

"Visually, after the Power Armor gets 10 contribution points to upgrade to 'Knight', it's reasonable, and it's funny to do it manually."

"Wasteland OL" equipment has no level requirements, as long as the attributes can be controlled, it can be used, and if it cannot be controlled, it can be used forcibly.

However, some rare equipment that can be restocked at random requires contribution points to purchase.

Explained in terms of the game's settings, these important assets belonging to the shelter cannot be obtained stably and are scarce in quantity, and can only be given priority to residents who have made outstanding contributions to the collective.

in front of the counter.

Xia Yan, with her arms folded, looked at the group of dejected players with a blank expression, and patiently repeated her lines over and over again.

"It's sold out, it's sold out, don't ask any more."

"Wait for the caravan to come next time."

The only thing that comforts the players is that Boss Xia's Mandarin is becoming more and more standard.

At this moment, Heya with long silver hair came from the nursing home with a wooden frame in her arms.

After placing the wooden frame on the counter of the weapon shop, Heya and Boss Xia said something.

Boss Xia nodded half-understanding, then took out a pen from the table, found a wooden board, wrote a line of words, and hung it on the shelf.

["Torch" Psychic Interferometer]

Then, Boss Xia picked out an earphone-like thing from the wooden frame, and placed it on the shelf.

at the same time.

The encyclopedia page of the player VM, and the description of the item has been updated.

[Effect: Through a simple surgical operation, the alien species with lower minds can be made to obey orders.The scope of application includes death claws, mutant brown bears, etc., and cannot be used for non-sentient life forms (such as slime mold variants)]

[Requirements: The contribution level reaches citizenship, and the intelligence attribute is greater than 10. 】

[Price: 2000 silver coins (excluding surgery fee)]

After reading the instructions.

The atmosphere around the weapon shop boiled instantly.
