This Game Is Too Realistic

【New Expansion Pack: Forging Swords into Plowstocks】

[Introduction: Winter is coming to an end, and the season of recovery is coming. Right now is the critical period for spring plowing and preparation. Only by ensuring the food supply for the coming year can we awaken more compatriots to go to the surface and carry out the next stage of work. 】

[Content: From now on, Wasteland OL will start a series of missions including farming, management and other related elements. Players can collect them through VM or find NPCs such as Luka, Guo Niu, and Guo Ma. Event points can be obtained by completing missions labeled with expansion packs.

After the expansion is over, the points can be used for lottery, exchange for expansion-limited titles, special rewards, and agricultural land! 】

Happiness comes too suddenly.

Without the slightest sign, not even a publicity pv, the Alpha 1.0 version and the new expansion pack suddenly appeared on the bulletin board of the official website of Wasteland OL.

Almost at the same time when the announcement was released, the little players who squatted on the official website to share today's game history, as well as the daily sand sculpture netizens, instantly boiled over!

In less than a minute, comments below the announcement popped up hundreds of floors.

Tail:!!!

Quit smoking: New expansion pack?! Awesome!

Makabazi: Forging a sword into a plow?! Event points can be exchanged for land?! Damn, my DNA has moved!!

Keeping people under the knife: Life professional players are ecstatic!

Fujiteng: Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Yaya: It's okay! I'll leave the battle to Yaya, Fujiteng is in charge of making good-looking clothes! ( @≥︶≤ @)

Ye Shi: If you don't understand, just ask, has Boss Crow ever been to the front line? (Funny)

Crow: ??? Are you polite?

Big Eyes in Debt: Wait a minute, the first two expansion packs 'Winter Is Coming' and 'Land Boating', which one of the expansion packs has the answer not to be a life professional player!?

I am the darkest: Exactly! Don't even think about tampering with memory! Professional combat players also need expansion packs! (Crazy)

Battlefield atmosphere group: I beg you to plan, let's use another wave of predators! I just saved up to buy an exoskeleton, and spent money to make it a bulletproof, and actually told me those predators ran away! T.T

Commander Quanshui: If I knew it earlier, I would have bought a tractor with the money, right? Luckily, I saved money. (Squint-eyed smile)

Ye Shi: It is suggested that the next expansion piece will be the Burning Crusade. I think we can take down Xizhou City and help Ms. Fujiteng open the market in the north. (Funny)

Irena: Open the door, free trade? But I have a feeling the looters there probably can't afford clothes. (funny)

Professor Yang of Thunder Dharma King: Tsk, you guys are still too young, so you have no surplus value if you are poor? Can't afford it? It's easy to say. In the past, I built a few plantations and sent them to grow cotton. There are classes. Should you be able to afford it? (grinning teeth)

Ye Shi: Damn it, my understanding of the version is not as good as that of cloud players?!

Lao Bai: Come to work in our brick factory, we will hire you as the factory director. (Squinting eyes and laughing)

Professor Yang, the king of thunder and lightning: Hey, I will cry if I talk too much. T.T

Chu Guang glanced briefly at the comment area below the announcement, and found that the players' enthusiasm for discussing the new version and expansion packs was beyond the sky.

Many players have begun to share their experience of growing vegetables on the forum, and hard-core players even posted design drawings of agricultural machinery on the forum.

Although most of these posts were distorted in the end, and turned into Versailles with how many acres of land in my family, there are still many experiences worth learning from.

I believe it should come in handy in the upcoming spring plowing.

If it weren't for the characters in the game who have to sleep, and in reality they have to go to work, many players have probably already put on their helmets and went to work online.

There were also those little buddies who got the qualification for the beta test, and they were overjoyed, and they all gave their acceptance speeches.

As for the cloud players who have not qualified for the beta test...

Although Chu Guang was also anxious for them, there was nothing he could do about it.

He really planned it.

But the Naihe game is not a real game. Even a wishing machine like the black box needs to consume electricity and materials to produce the dormant cabin, and the maximum output per day is only 24 units.

It is impossible to change something that does not exist out of thin air.

At present, there are nearly 100,000 reserved players, but there are only 300 training cabins left. Even if Chu Guang opened all these cans, the probability of players winning the prize is only 0.3%.

It's impossible to get everyone into the game.

Moreover, when the number of immigrants exceeds the limit of social capacity, it may not be a good thing.

Like the refugees in the wasteland, if they cannot be digested in a short period of time, they will instead become destroyers of existing rules and obstacles to development.

This is also one of the reasons why most online games on steam cannot be played once the discount season and free week come.

After reading all the popular posts on the forum, Chu Guang updated the Developer Log as usual after thinking about it for a while.

Although the players are very diligent, in order to let the players enjoy the game better, and at the same time to appease the combat professional players who feel abandoned by the version, Chu Guang feels that it is necessary for him to talk about this with the players as a planner. brand new version.

Guang: Hello everyone, I am your dearest planner Aguang. The planning department last month was quite peaceful. Class, we finally got the Alpha1.0 version!

Thank you to all the beta testers for your continuous efforts and support, and also to all the programmers who worked overtime until they became bald, and the NPCs who risked their lives to drive screws on the assembly line. Without your hard work, we would not have achievement now.

Developing a game is not an easy task, especially such an epoch-making game. We are now and will be in the early stages of game development for a long time.

Building a utopian virtual community is not an easy task, and it requires our joint efforts. This time may be very long, maybe three years, maybe five years, but we guarantee that it will not be worse than the Painted Citizens next door. , Old Gun 6 and Give Him Love 6 from Heaven will last longer, and we promise that we will never put semi-finished products on the shelves, cut a wave of leeks and turn around and run away.

I believe that many players should have discovered that the content of the new expansion pack basically focuses on the word 'management'.

We hope to build an economic system that is close to reality in this way. Let every player and NPC play different roles in this simulated reality system, undertake different social divisions of labor, and become the builder of this virtual community .”

It might sound idealistic, but we think it's worth a try.

...

the next day.

Before dawn, a large number of players flocked to Changjiu Farm excitedly, forming a dark circle around the door of the warehouse.

Looking at the shelter residents gathered in front of the warehouse, Luka, who had just woken up, thought something had happened, and was dumbfounded.

Is there anything I can help with?

Ming people don't say dark words, I'm here to do the task!

Tian! Where is Tian?

My hoe is hungry and thirsty!

Although he couldn't understand what the players were saying, Luka quickly realized that this might be the manager's arrangement.

So he immediately turned on the VM and took a look.

Sure enough, it really is!

The residents of these shelters are here to help!

After reading the Master Manager's instructions, the old Luca was moved, and he couldn't help but look at the players surrounding the warehouse door with emotion.

It is hard not to admire this spirit of dedication and hard work.

In a solemn and serious tone, Old Luca spoke.

We need to plant the seeds in the spring, and before planting the seeds, we need to clear the weeds in the field, level the land, expel the alien species that are active in this area, and destroy their nests.

Thank you, we are short of manpower now, and you came at the right time!

Please bring your tools and follow me!

After all, Old Luca walked ahead and led the players to the open space on the west side of Changjiu Farm.

The terrain here is relatively flat, and it is relatively close to the warehouse, and it is also an area that is relatively easy to reclaim.

According to the plan of the manager, this piece of land is collectively owned by the refuge, and will be cultivated by hired farmers, and the harvested grain will be put into the granary as a strategic reserve to balance the grain price in the market.

Further to the west is the land that is planned to be contracted to private individuals, and further away is the area that the prisoners of war are responsible for reclaiming.

After arriving at the destination, the specific wasteland reclamation tasks are quickly refreshed on the player's VM, and the area that each player or team is responsible for is also marked on the map.

For every acre of land that can be cultivated, 100 activity reward points can be obtained.

After the expansion is over, you only need to spend at least 300 activity points to exchange for an acre of land that belongs to you, and you can plant anything you want on it, as long as you don't change the use of the land.

If you spend more points, you can also buy fertile land beside Linghu Lake.

Under the temptation of the land, the players' enthusiasm for land reclamation can be said to be unprecedentedly high.

Especially seeing the proficiency of farming skills rising, many people worked harder.

Plow the land with the Awakened.

Such a luxurious thing is the only one in this area of ​​Qingquan City.

But even so, opening up wasteland is still not an easy task.

The first is to clear the weeds.

Ordinary grass is okay, but if you encounter old shrub roots, you have to saw and smash them, and you have to dig out the roots.

But weeding alone is not enough, the land must be leveled.

This includes digging out the high soil, using a load to carry it to the low-lying area to fill it up, and then pile up the field ridge, get fertilizer or manure and pile it in the field.

When spring really starts, the land will have to be plowed again, large pieces of soil will be broken up, and the concrete slag and undegraded garbage buried in the soil will be picked out, and then fences will be planted around to prevent some small The animal ran in and gave Huo Huo the seeds from the wheat field.

Luckily, this area of ​​Qingquan City is a plain, and the general survivors go to the family together, and it is not bad to dig out two or three acres of land in one autumn.

But it was autumn.

If it happened to be a cold winter and it snowed just after harvesting the grain in the field, it would be tormenting.

Not to mention that the snow has not yet melted, the snow has melted, and the soil in the field is also frozen hard.

He headed down and left only a white mark, as if he had knocked against the wall, and there was no reaction at all except the pain from the hand tremor.

Therefore, if you want to open up wasteland in winter, it is not enough to just use a hoe, you have to change to the kind of pickaxe used for knocking stones.

It can be said to be quite true.

...

at dusk.

Sitting by the side of the field, Ye Shi, who was carrying a pickaxe and a hoe, said out of breath.

Damn der, I have to bother my roommate with meals, and I have to drive the way to take out the trash. I actually do farm work all day!

The initial strength of the perception department is usually 5, and it can reach 7 after awakening, which is equivalent to 140% of the average value of normal adult males, and it is still slightly stronger than the intelligence department.

However, he was still exhausted enough.

The fatigue debuff has already appeared on the VM, and the hands and legs are like lead.

If it is in reality, I am afraid it is not as simple as being tired, the muscles have probably started to hurt!

But relatively, this day is not without gains.

He worked a full acre of land by himself, and his proficiency in farming skills directly rose to two levels, and he was only one level away from unlocking the first achievement under farming skills.

Carrying the hoe on his shoulder, Lao Bai, who was also exhausted, took a breath and said.

I've done it before, but never with such primitive tools.

He is probably the most capable in the team of cattle and horses. He farmed three acres of land by himself.

This is basically equivalent to five times the work efficiency of the refugees!

Ye Shi looked at him curiously and asked.

By the way, what do you do in reality? How can you burn bricks, charcoal, and farm work?

Lao Bai smiled and said.

Don't tell me, my hometown is in the country. When I was a child, I occasionally helped the family with some work. It has nothing to do with now. There are few people in my hometown farming. I almost forgot about it, but it's still good to experience it once in a while. I miss it.

Ye Shi oh oh twice, and nodded with a vague understanding.

He grew up in the city since he was a child, but he doesn't know much about these things.

Feng Feng, who came to sit next to him, wiped his sweat, glanced at the fruits of labor in front of him, narrowed his eyes and said.

It won't work like this, and I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it until the year of the monkey... We have to improve our tools.

Fang Chang nodded in agreement.

Indeed, sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. If you continue to gnaw so hard, you may not be able to get 10 mu by the end of the month.

Ye Shi looked at them both and asked.

Do you two have any good ideas?

Fang Chang and Guafeng looked at each other, and the latter nodded and said.

Wait another three days. I have a friend who just got the qualification for the closed beta test. He should be able to help me then.

Ye Shi asked curiously.

Who? A man or a woman? What kind of friend?

The wind is too lazy to pay attention to this guy.

After a pause, he continued.

Professor Wang from the engineering school next door, majoring in mechanical engineering and automation.

He knows more about the application of knowledge than I do.

...

Two days have passed since the release of the new expansion.

At present, there are 800 players in the whole server, and at least two-thirds have participated in the land reclamation work.

And the remaining one-third of the players, even if they have no interest in 100% real farming and don't really want to improve their farming skills proficiency, they still indirectly support the land reclamation work in other forms.

For example, No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant.

In just two days, 500 sets of steel structural parts of agricultural implements were produced by mold casting.

After rushing to produce in small workshops in the industrial area, wooden handles were installed on tools such as hoes and pickaxes. The first batch of tools was quickly sent to the front line to replace those inefficient and poor-quality wooden tools and stone tools. .

Another example is that WC really has mosquitoes.

Brother Mosquito has done a good job again this time.

He slightly modified the breath of hell, increased the output power of the camel machine, and got a simple tractor out.

Not only can he transport goods, he also installed a plowing harrow on the back of the tractor.

This thing can help a lot.

But the mosquito is not very kind. Seeing that no one bought the price of 2000 silver coins, he immediately started the leasing business.

10 silver coins for renting for 1 hour, 50 silver coins for one day.

The players shouted cheating when they saw this, but in order to improve efficiency, they still bit the bullet and paid for it.

The No. 81 Iron and Steel Factory next to it saw that the money was too good to earn, and immediately started imitation and a prototype, and said that it only costs 40 silver coins to rent one day.

Chu Guang ordered 10 units from the two units, asking for 2,000 silver coins each, and asked to deliver them before the end of the month.

After completing the order, you can also get 5000 points of Changjiu Farm's regional reputation and 500 contribution points.

Faced with an order worth 20,000 silver coins, Mosquito and the two directors of Factory No. 81 immediately told Chu Guang that they would definitely work overtime to produce the equipment in the order as soon as possible.

In addition to the quests for life pros, there are also some quests for combat pros.

Such as killing mutant wild boars, destroying hyena nests, building fences and so on.

The evening of the second day after the expansion was released.

The entrance to the warehouse of Changjiu Farm.

Facing Chu Guang who came to inspect the work, Luca reported to him the progress of the land reclamation work with an excited face.

My lord, in the past 48 hours, your residents have reclaimed 1,000 acres of wasteland!

At this rate, it won't even take until the end of the month, and we can complete the 10,000 mu of wasteland in at most 15 days!

When he said this, Luca had an unbelievable joy on his face.

Originally, he thought that the residents of the shelter could not adapt to such a high-intensity labor, but he did not expect that they were far more capable than he imagined, and completed one-tenth of the expected goal in just two days .

According to the plan of the manager, the first batch of cultivated land in the plan is 30,000 mu.

Among them, 10,000 mu were completed by the residents of the refuge, half of the remaining 20,000 mu were taken care of by prisoners of war, and half by refugees.

Maybe this year's wasteland reclamation work can even be overfulfilled!

Although the seeds hadn't been planted yet, he seemed to have seen the golden and full granary of ten thousand acres!

Chu Guang was not surprised by what Luka reported.

The main reason is that he has never worked in the fields before, so he doesn't know whether it is difficult to open up wasteland.

1,000 mu... Calculated with 600 people, that means 0.8 mu per person per day on average?

Touching his chin, Chu Guang thought for a moment and said.

Is this fast or slow?

My lord, this speed is already very fast!

Listening to the speech of the manager, Versailles, the old Luca couldn't help sweating, and explained.

Cultivating wasteland is different from farming. The workload is very heavy, especially now that the snow has not fully melted, and the snow has to be dug out of the ground first.

Wait until the middle of the month or even the end of the month, our progress will be faster!

Chu Guang nodded and said with relief.

Thank you for your hard work!

Hearing the manager's commendation, old Luca's face was flushed with pride, and he said respectfully.

I haven't worked hard, but your residents, they are really capable.

By the way, now that the blizzard has stopped, those refugees who were placed in the abandoned department store can also gradually move back to the farm. We can't keep them in vain forever.

Chu Guang nodded and said.

Well, after a whole winter of repairing, it's time to find something for them to do.

After inspecting Chungeng's work, Chu Guang walked around the warehouse and was about to go to the guard to see the training of the recruits.

However, at this moment, he suddenly received a communication request from the outpost.

The communication is connected.

Before Chu Guang asked what was the matter, Liu Ding's voice came from the earphone immediately.

My lord, a caravan has come to the south of the Wetland Park, and they are now parked at the south gate of the Wetland Park!

A caravan from the south? Chu Guang's face was filled with surprise, and he immediately continued to ask, Are they from Boulder City?

Yes... Liu Ding said cautiously, The owner of this caravan is named Liszt. He claims to have met you once and wants to meet you.

Liszt?

Hearing this familiar name, Chu Guang was taken aback for a moment, and then an expression of interest appeared on his face.

Good guy.

It can be regarded as waiting for you!

Chu Guang still has not forgotten the oath he made at the beginning.

Wait for this guy to come here next time.

Be sure to kill him once and for all!

With a happy smile on his face, Chu Guang continued to speak in a pleasant manner.

Liszt, that's my old friend.

Hurry up and invite him to the reception room to entertain him and prepare some tea.

Tell him, I'll be there in a minute!
