This game is too real.

Chapter 239 Methods of taming alien species and preparations for spring plowing!

Three full days have passed since the planner drew a big pie about the "pet system" on the forum.

So far, apart from the hundreds of posts about raising pets on the forum, no player has successfully tamed the alien species in the wasteland.

However, it cannot be said that there is no gain at all.

At least during this period of time, Chu Guang saw many new varieties that he had never seen before at the market at the North Gate...

On the square in front of the nursing home.

Seeing Commander Quanshui coming back from the outside, who was leading the construction team to work under the knife, he smiled and teased.

"Brother Quanshui, have you caught Death Claw?"

Recently, there has been a lot of construction work in the outpost, and the resurrection point to the north has become a large construction site. On the one hand, many players have been upgraded to intermediate citizens, and the land area allowed to be purchased has expanded to 50 square meters. On the other hand, more and more NPCs are Settle nearby.

As the chief architect of Wasteland OL, his construction skill proficiency has reached level 6!

It is said that achievements can be unlocked at full level 10, and the first skill proficiency full level can enter the hall of fame, but starting from level 5, it becomes more and more difficult to upgrade.

Before Commander Quanshui could speak, the battlefield atmosphere team next to him cursed.

"Catch a chicken, go shopping all day, and beat six dogs! Killed a bunch of cockroaches and blood-sucking insects, but I didn't see a shadow of deathclaw!"

Commander Quanshui also sighed.

"It's too difficult to find at all."

"I obviously followed the official strategy and searched all the landmarks on the map where Deathclaw might appear. As a result, I found a bunch of weird things, except Deathclaw!"

For example, at the water treatment station they went to today, there is a collapsed structure, the depth is 20 meters below the surface, the radiation index is in the medium threat range, and there is an abandoned spare reactor.

However, when they went there, they found that apart from some blood-sucking flying insects the size of washbasins and cockroaches crawling all over the ground, there were only stupid eaters left.

Fortunately, due to the high activity of the alien species, there are still some recyclable materials there.

After clearing out the alien species there, the silver coins and contribution point rewards obtained by reporting the resource points are not bad, allowing them to make a small fortune.

Otherwise, they might not even be able to earn back the money for the bullets.

Although Quan Shui and Zhandi Guy looked depressed, I was the darkest next to them, but my face was full of joy.

"Great! Hahahaha! I'm finally level 6!"

"MMP, it's too difficult to upgrade this game!"

the other side.

In front of the market at the north gate, there was a large circle of people.

Qiu Ye, who was sitting next to her sister, looked in the direction of the crowd curiously.

I saw a big crab lying there, with dirty mud and algae leaves hanging on its tall shell.

Recognizing what that big guy was at a glance, Qiu Ye's saliva was drooling, and she pointed there excitedly and said.

"Sister! Look over there!"

Crab Cakes!
Crab Mashed Potatoes!
And crab roe noodles!

In the coming week, there will definitely be a lot of delicious food at the market!
Looking in the direction her sister pointed, Qiucao's face was also full of surprise.

In her cognition, the Cleft Claw Crab is a very dangerous alien species. Even the bravest fighters and hunters in the tribe would not regard it as a hunting target.

These blue coats are too strong to be able to incorporate such terrifying monsters into the recipe and hunt them one by one...

It would be nice to bring one back to the village.

Just when the two sisters were feeling emotional, they didn't know that these little players actually didn't want to kill this thing at all.

Instead, I intend to capture it as a pet.

It's just a pity that this crab is too difficult to deal with!
Like most arthropods, when awake, it can maintain a strong will to fight until its life is completely terminated.

Even though its legs were blown off and its shell was entangled in devil's silk, it still wielded its large pincers and swiftly attacked those who approached.

In desperation, in order to reduce the loss, he could only use an anti-armor grenade with a wooden handle to kill the big guy who had finally found it.

At this very moment, standing next to the big crab, Edge Paddle was bargaining with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

A split claw crab carcass can be sold for 400 silver, which is the purchase price of the NPC warehouse, and is basically the market's guide price or reserve price.

In the market at the north gate, if other players accept it, it is normal for a 3% to 10% increase.

Unless it is a particularly sought-after prey, it is difficult to rise above 20%.

By the way, due to the decline in inventory, the price of the Iron Fist Bazooka has recently risen to 80 silver coins, and the visual estimate has to rise to 100 silver coins to stop.

Due to Brother Mole's post, which described in detail the weakness of the split claw crab, many gambling dogs have been born in Mengxin recently.

That is, save 80 silver coins to buy an Iron Fist bazooka, find the hibernating split claw crab hidden in the cave, and then put a tube on its head.

If it can hit the forehead, or even the side of the head, it is more than enough to kill in one blow, and it can guarantee the integrity of the prey.

This sounds like a great opportunity to make a fortune.

But on the contrary, if this shot misses, or accidentally wakes up the Cleft Claw Crab.

There is also a probability of doing nothing for a few days...

"...410 silver, no more, I can't afford it no matter how expensive it is." Hearing the quotation of 450 silver from the edge paddle, Tomato Scrambled Egg shook his head and gave his own price.

Hearing that his price had been cut by 40 silver, he couldn't help but said while paddling.

"Damn! You thick eyebrows and big eyes, when did you pick yourself up like a mosquito!"

Big Eyes in Debt also echoed.

"That's right! A crab cake can be sold for 2 silver coins! This crab weighs at least one or two tons. It's okay to make 100 kilograms of crab meat, right? Isn't it too much to make 1000 crab cakes?"

Construction site boy and Brick: "Damn it, sell it for 2000 silver! I got a set of exoskeleton! It's too dark, too dark."

Tomato scrambled eggs rolled his eyes.

"You don't need to spend money on green wheat? You don't need to spend money on seasoning? Do you think that someone will buy what you make?"

"And it's not that exaggerated. It's almost enough to get 90 kilograms of crab meat. It's not autumn now."

But there was one thing he didn't tell the truth.

Crab cakes are actually pretty good.

After all, not all players will go back to the base to eat, especially at noon, most of them will settle outside.

Generally, new players don’t have much money in their pockets, so they will bring a piece of wheat cake or jerky before going out, soak it in water and eat it, and there are more hardcore players who choose to eat it directly.

This way of eating is not tasteful, and has almost no texture. At most, it can fill the stomach and prevent the debuff of hypoglycemia from weakening the combat power.

Veteran players with a relatively well-off economy will choose to spend one or two extra silver coins to buy some food such as steamed buns, steamed buns, and meat buns, which are convenient and delicious, and the nutrition is more balanced.To maintain a healthy body for a long time, you can also get a strong buff bonus of 1~5% attribute improvement.

Crab cakes born in celebrations are also a good choice.Whether it is sandwiched in bread or eaten directly, it can provide a lot of calories, and the taste is quite good.

Even the awakened per capita rice bucket, two 200g crab cakes are basically full.Power players may have a larger appetite, but basically three pieces of cake can also feed them.

In the end, this big crab was sold at a price of 420 silver coins.

The four people on the edge paddling side got one point, and each of them got 105 silver coins. Even if the ammunition consumed was deducted, the income was still considerable.

The scrambled eggs with tomatoes were not idle either. They brought pliers, hammers and steel nails, and were about to start working on the crab shells to get the crab meat out.

Some life professional players and natives squatted aside and watched curiously, planning to pick some good-shaped crab shells and spend one or two silver coins to buy them back and use them as armor.

A piece of crab shell as thick as a thumb can block three 100mm bullets at a distance of 7m.

If it is broken and wrapped in devil's silk, it can be made into small pieces and stuffed in the clothes, and it can even produce the effect of a composite bulletproof board!
This kind of unique equipment can be regarded as unique in the wasteland.

At this moment, Brother Mosquito suddenly wandered over, grabbed the scrambled egg with tomato that was processing the split claw crab, and asked.

"Brother, is your crab shell still useful?"

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes froze for a moment.

"Crab shells? It's useless... What do you want these things for?"

The mosquito smiled.

"Of course I have some use, how about selling it to me for 10 silver coins?"

Tomato scrambled eggs rolled his eyes.

"Get out, at least 50 silver coins, don't even think about it."

Mosquito: "Damn! You don't need it!"

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes said angrily, "Can I sell it to someone else? Go ask the people around to see if anyone wants it."

Mosquito looked regretful for not finding a bargain, but finally paid for it.

When the surrounding players saw this, they immediately realized that their materials had been cut off by mosquitoes, and scattered cursing.

Only the natives are still waiting there, not knowing what happened.

"Let's talk about it first, don't break the front shells, these shells are mine now."

Looking at the mosquito with a sore face, Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes said with a smile.

"Don't worry, you know my skills. But then again, what's the use of having so many crab shells? Even if this thing is strong enough... it's not as good as steel, is it?"

"You don't understand," Mosquito said with a smile, "steel is so expensive, a ton of steel costs several thousand silver coins! The strength of this crab's shell is not much worse than steel. The only disadvantage is that it is heavier, but the problem is not Big!"

"This natural composite material has been tested in actual combat for its defense against light weapons! I plan to install an engine on it to drive several robotic legs, install a gun barrel in the front, and install a machine gun on the back. This is no better than being alive." Are there too many split-claw crab batches?"

After hearing these words, Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes was stunned on the spot, looking at the mosquito in surprise.

"Fuck...you're too punished, aren't you?"

Mosquito smiled and said modestly.

"low profile."

……

While the players were thinking about how to make the best use of the untamable alien species, their dearest planners were also thinking of ways for them.

Niu Ma Brick Factory.

Through Yang Ergou, the foreman here, Chu Guang quickly found the previously captured gray wolf.

This guy voluntarily surrendered, and confessed the information of the Lion Tooth Thousand Team, and won a leniency. Although the punishment and hard labor cannot be exempted, the muddy work is a little easier.

When Chu Guang called him over, Gray Wolf was still a little nervous.

After all, Black Snake's body was still hanging at the north gate.

Although he was not under Black Snake, he still panicked a lot.

However, after hearing about Chu Guang's intentions, Gray Wolf breathed a sigh of relief.

At least I have some use for these people.

It shouldn't be the same as the black snake...

"For alien species like hyenas and wolves, it is difficult to get rid of their wildness through ordinary domestication methods. If you want to completely tame them, you have to start training them from cubs."

Chu Guang thought for a moment and asked.

"How long does it take for a mutant hyena to grow up?"

Gray Wolf replied.

"A year and a half, or two years."

It will take a year and a half at the earliest...

It grows a little faster than the clones of Legion, but it takes too long.

Moreover, it is difficult for a single hyena to form an effective fighting force, and it is stronger than mutant mice and cockroaches, or bullying brainless eaters.

Mutant snow wolves are slightly stronger, but their average combat power is only at LV3 level, and a few individuals can reach LV5, which is also a wolf.

Spending two years, investing a lot of food and energy, and cultivating a LV3 combat effectiveness is really not cost-effective from a cost perspective.

Pets are really pets.

It is still a bit difficult to become a battle pet.

Chu Guang continued to ask.

"Is there any way to domesticate adult hyenas or wild wolves?"

Gray Wolf's face was a bit perplexed, and he reluctantly nodded.

"There are, but it's not easy...and if the wildness can't be eliminated, it's hard to make them work."

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is a way."

As he said that, Chu Guang threw him a VM. There was no task publishing function on it, only the recording function was unlocked.

"You dictate the method and experience of domesticating and raising wild animals. If it can be used, your sentence can be reduced."

Gray Wolf had a happy expression on his face, and said immediately.

"Don't worry, my lord! I will tell you everything I know!"

Chu Guang nodded.

"Better so."

Later, he will ask Xiao Qi to organize the contents of the recording into notes and update the database on the official website, which should provide some references for his little players.

In fact, compared to hyenas and wolves, he expects his little players to domesticate some more awesome alien species.

Chu Guang believes that as long as they are given enough time, with their ingenuity and imagination, there must be a way to do it.

……

It has been a week since the "Spring Thunder" operation, and the sunny days in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City are still continuing, and the last heavy snow seems to have been two weeks ago.

Yesterday, the snow covered my knees, but today I can only bury my calves.

Everyone can feel that the winter is fading.

Frozen life is being revived.

Yet the threat from the North has not been lifted.

For the upcoming war, both the players and the survivors in the northern suburbs are hurrying to prepare for the battle.

However, as a manager, Chu Guang had to consider not only military issues at the moment.

And next year's food production.

More and more facts and arguments have proved that the players after awakening are not only powerful in combat, but also have an amazing appetite.

In fact, not only after awakening, the food consumed by the original players is 1.5~2 times that of the aborigines. As the level increases, it can even reach an astonishing three times after LV10.

Chu Guang didn't know what to complain for a while, whether it was the aborigines living too hard, or his players were too hungry.

If it wasn't for the courier delivery by Black Snake, the surplus grain in the warehouse might not be able to last until the corn at the greenhouse ruins matures at the end of next month.

In order to recruit more players into the game.

Reclaiming the wasteland north of Linghu Lake must be put on the agenda as soon as possible!

In the conference room of Changjiu Farm, Luca reported the work situation meticulously to Chu Guang who came to inspect the work.

"My lord, spring plowing is about to begin. Although we have enough rifles, we cannot plow the land with bayonets and rifle butts."

"Those slaves...I mean prisoners of war, although they can undertake the most severe work of land reclamation, but the efficiency of digging the ground with sticks and hands is too low. Even if they are exhausted in the fields, it is impossible to complete the production Task."

"We need at least 1200 sets of farm implements, including hoes, rakes, shovels, and some carts for sowing, as well as transportation tools such as trolleys. Since there are not enough livestock, we may have to use human power instead."

Chu Guang thought for a moment and asked.

"How much do we have in stock?"

Luka said with a wry smile.

"My lord, how can we have any inventory... The entire industrial zone is producing arms. The only 120 sets of tools were brought from several survivor settlements such as Highway Town, but their tools were of poor quality. Less than half the quality."

Hearing the helplessness in Luka's tone, Chu Guang was a little embarrassed.

The external survival pressure is there. He admitted that he was indeed a bit militaristic some time ago, but there is no way to do it.

Besides, it's not a bad thing.

The military industry has driven steel production capacity, and the steel production capacity has increased. Isn't it easy to make a few farm tools?
"I will find a way to do this," Chu Guang thought for a moment, and promised, "I will try my best to gather [-] sets of tools needed for land reclamation within a week, and try to close all the gaps before the end of the month." Fill in. What about our neighbors? Is there a way to borrow some from them?"

Luka thought for a while and said.

"Brown Farm should have it, but I'm afraid it's not enough. In my impression, even if the indoor planting area is included, their arable land area is less than 400 mu."

400 mu...

Chu Guang shook his head.

"Too little."

From the northern part of Linghu Lake to the forest area of ​​Yumu District, there is more than 100 square kilometers of wasteland, which is 15 mu in conversion.

400 mu is enough to fill a gap between the teeth.

In Chuguang's plan, the first phase of the planned arable land area is 3 mu, ensuring that at least 3 people can be fed, and some cash crops will be produced to supply raw materials such as plant fiber, oil, and rubber needed by the industrial zone.

It's not just a tool shortage.

Manpower is also a big problem.

In the absence of automated equipment, manpower can only be used to stack.It is roughly estimated that at least 1000 to 3000 manpower will be mobilized to reclaim the [-] mu of land.

At present, there are about 700 prisoners of war that can be used.

There are currently more than 1500 people in the refugee camp, but the young and middle-aged labor force may only account for 5%, and some of them have been absorbed by industrial areas.

The reason why the rifles and bullets in the hands of the players can be sold so cheap is that these people are sweating on the assembly line.

Children under the age of 12 are not useful. Even if women and the elderly who can work are put into production, it is estimated that 400 to 500 people can be made up.

After pondering for a while, Chu Guang pondered.

"Part of the production tasks can be assigned to players who like farming, and a unique farming career gameplay can be designed."

"If the effect is good, more land can be applied for."

But farming is a technical job.

And it takes patience.

Farming in "Wasteland OL" is quite different from Penguin Farm.

Planting and harvesting vegetables is not just a matter of two mouse clicks. Not only do you have to sow the seeds, but you also need to regularly water, fertilize, remove insects, drive away unique species on the wasteland, and guard against extreme weather on the wasteland. .

The climate in the wasteland is not as smooth as in reality.

Even in the suburbs with low radioactivity, there will occasionally be two clouds of unusual colors floating in the sky.It's fine when it's not raining, but it's going to be bad when it rains...

After listening to Luka's report, Chu Guang continued to look at the wrench waiting aside. Judging from the expression on his face, he should have good news to tell him.

Before the manager could ask, seeing that Luka had finally finished speaking, the wrench immediately took a step forward and spoke.

"My lord, I also have an important matter to report to you!"

"Say."

Restraining the joy in his heart, the wrench said excitedly.

"The raiders stationed in Yuanxi Town have withdrawn!"

withdraw?

Chu Guang was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed.

What the hell!

Let these bastards run away!
