Chapter 1070: Hiding Merit and Fame
Chapter 1070: Hiding one’s fame and merit
The official website of Wasteland Online bombarded the entire forum with posts that were refreshed at a speed of ten pages per second!
Except for a small number of “geniuses” who accidentally guessed the truth, almost everyone was shocked by this astonishing fact.
The wasteland world is actually real? !
This game is too real… No, to be precise, this game was not a game from the beginning, right? !
A considerable number of people’s brains crashed directly.
Those whose brains haven’t crashed have finally understood why the NPCs in Wasteland OL have only one life, and why there are so many harsh and even bizarre rules in the Player’s Handbook…
Quit Smoking: “Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck!”
Ye Shi: “Ahh——???”
Kuangfeng: “So that’s it… It’s the real world. So the calculation error of Planck’s constant is probably due to the ‘elementary particle size’. It’s really eye-opening. (bitter smile)”
Canyon Escaping Mole: “Can you speak human language? (sweating)”
Kuangfeng: “To speak human language… this game is too real.”
Edge Pad: “Pfft——”
Tail: “Giao! In other words, Tail really saved the world?! (Shocked)”
Fang Chang: “Strictly speaking, all of us saved the world.”
Ye Shi: “Wait… So my partner is not actually a paper man?! (Guilty)”
Lao Bai: “Isn’t it good? (grin)”
Fang Chang: “Did you just realize it now? (squinting)”
Ye Shi: “Fuck! ! “I have been tangled for so long!” Fang Fang: ”
It may not be a bad thing, at least you
have grown in the process.”
”When did you find it?”
The corner of the mouth has been tilted to the sky, and the mood is complicated.
”
” ” Excessive sensitive players do not show obvious fear and exclusion of death. “Although most players are accustomed to death
in
the game
, not everyone can achieve death in a complete sense and no fear.
In fact, no matter which group of newcomers have the heaven and bile, they are particularly small.
The face is related.
The cognitive filter can only dull the senses, but it cannot turn a timid person into a brave one.
However, although the cognitive filter cannot do this, there are still many players who have grown in the adventure, got rid of the debuffs of darkness, cowardice and compromise, and become braver, sunny, confident, loving and strong.
Midnight Chicken Killer: “Emmm… In other words, I must have at least three-digit heads on my hand?”
Fountain Commander: “Do you regret it? (squinting smile)”
Midnight Chicken Killer: “Not really, after all, most of them are predators and mutants. (silly smile)”
Edge Water: “If you put it that way, I think so too.”
Sis: “Well… when I think about the fact that those who were killed are either unforgivable guys or on the battlefield, there is really nothing to be pretentious about.”
There are really mosquitoes in WC: “Thanks for the player’s manual! Thank you Brother Guang! Otherwise I would be too scared to sleep now. (Put your hands together)”
Ye Shi: “I don’t believe you!”
Roushan Damo: “Huh! I almost believed it if I didn’t see the ID!”
Garbage Picker Level 99: “Brother Guang: Stop licking, it’s boring.”
Makabazi: “Brother Guang: Mosquitoes are boring, we have to change to Crows.”
Stop bullshitting: “Agility can’t stand it, but perception can, right. (д)”
Crows: “Wait, what are you talking about???”
Debt Big Eyes: “You are persecuting Crows again. (Funny)”
Teng Teng: “Although I don’t understand, but seeing Big Eyes’ ID, it shouldn’t be wrong. (*ω)╰ひ╯”
Debt Big Eyes: “Fuck, what did I do?!”
Irena: “(Shivering.jpg)”
WC Really Has Mosquitoes: “By the way, the public beta server is about to be opened. Are you guys planning to go play? (smirk)”
Fang Chang: “Look, I may not play it often, but maybe I will go to reminisce.”
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: “Forget it, the public beta server will be left to the newcomers to open up, the closed beta server is still more exciting! (grin)”
WC Really Has Mosquitoes: “Not necessarily, the public beta server also has its own fun. (funny)”
Tail: “Dolly!!! Guhehehehehe… (///ω///)” Fang Chang
: “…?” Sisi
: “???”
Ye Shi: “Wait, that kind of thing is not allowed! (horrified)”
WC Really Has Mosquitoes: “Gaga gaga!!! I’m going to blow up all your paper wives! (smirk)”
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: “@#%$!”
“…”
…
Wandering in the swamp, the biting cold wind blows.
Even though it is summer in the northern hemisphere, the hot monsoon has nothing to do with this frozen land.
Looking at the official website announcement on the VM screen, Ye Aonaiwohe, who stepped on the corpse of the mutant wolf, was stunned for a few seconds, and then he cursed in anger.
”What the hell! Aren’t the public beta server and the closed beta server the same server?! Then I have to level up again? You lousy planner, get out and eat my saliva – woo woo!”
Before she finished her words, Professor Yang next to her was startled and covered her mouth with his hand.
”Be quiet! Don’t let the dog – ugh! The planner hears it – ah ah ah!!! Are you a dog! Let me go!”
Professor Yang, whose hand was bitten, screamed like a pig.
Even with leather gloves, it couldn’t stop the serious bite of the strength mad dog.
But then again, doesn’t this game have pain shielding?
Is this guy’s pain tolerance so low?
[Pig is reading backwards] scratched the back of his head and looked at the two funny guys wrestling in the snow.
”Your complaints are also strange. Shouldn’t we be thankful that we can get the closed beta helmet before the public beta?”
It has been half a year since Sister Ye Ao and Professor Yang received the “Transmission of Fire” task from him.
At present, he is already a level 27 agility master, and his two apprentices have been promoted to level 12 cattle and horses and level 11 wheelchairs respectively, which can be regarded as barely passing the novice period.
In the past six months, he has been paying attention to the news of the public beta and the subsequent arrangements of the closed beta server.
According to what he learned, the reservation channel was closed as early as the public beta news was just released.
If you want to enter the closed beta server in the future, it really depends on your luck.
But seriously.
I used to think that this game was a bit too real. It was the same as the real thing without the filter. He never thought that this was not a game at all, but a reality with a filter.
Ye Yao Nai Wo He was stunned for a moment, and then he loosened his right hand that was pressing Professor Yang into the snow pile, and looked at him blankly and asked.
”Huh? Why? What’s there to be thankful for?”
Before Brother Zhu could speak, Professor Yang had already coughed up the snow in his mouth, and straightened his shivering body, and angrily cursed with a look of disappointment.
”Stupid, you can only earn silver coins in the closed beta server! You can only earn Y coins in the public beta, okay?!”
How did this idiot get the helmet?
When he thought that he, who was extremely smart, actually entered the game with her, his fist couldn’t help but harden.
Waste!
What a waste!
[Zhu is reading backwards] looked at him with a subtle expression.
”Emmm… Although the point you are thankful for is a bit strange, this is indeed one of the advantages of the closed beta server.”
Ye Yao Nai Wo He’s eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and he reached out and scratched his head randomly.
”I don’t understand, what is a Y coin? Is there any difference?”
She knew about silver coins, and there were fools who collected them at the auction, but what was a Y coin?
Just say it straight.
She had never paid attention to the public beta.
Brother Pig shrugged and said.
”The difference is that no one in reality accepts Y coins…”
It’s actually not accurate to say that, there are still people who accept them.
After all, there is only this one fully immersive virtual online game on the market, and other potential competitors don’t even have the relevant development tools.
There will always be big and rich players who want to take shortcuts and save time on killing monsters and brushing gold.
It’s just that Y coins are purely game coins and cannot be used at auctions. They are only for entertainment.
”That’s right, ahem… So, now you understand the value of the closed beta qualification, right?”
Looking at the smug look on Professor Yang’s face, Ye Aonai Wohe knocked his teeth in disdain and cast his eyes on Brother Pig.
”Oh… so, the NPCs in the closed beta server are actually real people, right?”
”That’s right!” Brother Zhu gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, “So don’t kill people at every turn.” ”
Do you think I’m stupid? How could I kill people at every turn?” Ye Aonaiwohe rolled his eyes, “But then again, you, a newcomer, have pretty good psychological quality. You weren’t scared? I was really shocked.”
”Haha, really? My psychological quality is actually average,” Brother Zhu said with an embarrassed smile, “But I’m probably the kind of person who might be scared when I’m alone, but if there’s someone who’s more scared next to me, I’ll straighten my chest… How should I describe it? It’s the mentality of an old father taking care of a baby? I wonder if you can understand it.”
”I see, I see, it’s the kind of old father… Pu! Hey! What do you mean, you guy? I’ll kill you!” Ye Aonaiwohe, who was nodding, suddenly realized that he was taken advantage of, and instantly grinned in anger.
Looking at the grinning kid, Professor Yang, who was sitting in the snow, curled his lips.
”Care about this kind of thing… are you a child?”
Ye Ao turned his head and glared at his defeated opponent sitting on the ground, baring his fangs.
”Say it again?!”
”…”
Professor Yang was obviously not convinced, but he had no choice but that the intelligence system was not good at hand-to-hand combat.
At least before accepting the prosthetic transformation.
”Okay, okay, all of you should say less. It will be dark if you keep quarreling.”
Brother Pig didn’t care about the chattering shouting. He first smiled and comforted Ye Ao a few words, then stretched out his hand to pull Professor Yang up from the ground.
”We have to move the prey back to the nearby settlement… Anyway, it’s time to get on the road.”
The chattering noise blended into the wind and snow on the Wandering Swamp, and a rumbling sound passed by the railway not far away.
It was a train from the fourth site in the north of the continent to the Death Coast in the south.
The heavy carriages were filled with packed heavy equipment and machines.
As the academy is about to leave the old world, those who remain on this planet will also go to new missions one after another…
The story of “Wasteland OL” did not end with the arrival of the new era. Both the stories of players and NPCs are still continuing.
…
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.
In the past six months, a lot of things have happened in both the solar system of the α universe and the solar system of the β universe.
First of all, it is the α universe-the wasteland.
After a year of sinking, with the help of the alliance and other survivors, Bugera City finally walked out of the shadow of the civil war and joined the big family of the new era with a new look and the identity of the defender of the new order. On
the other hand, President Li Minghui of the South China Sea Alliance finally ended the wartime state as he wished, threw the troubles of the presidential palace to his successor, and lived a life of frying fish when there was something to do and drinking when there was nothing to do.
At the same time, Chu Guang also withdrew from the stage of history.
But rather than saying that he withdrew from the stage of history, it is better to say that he returned to the position he should have been in.
As he said more than once –
”…Shelter 404 is only a disaster relief agency. Now that the wasteland era has ended, we have fulfilled our duties and obligations as a disaster relief agency.”
”From now on, the Alliance will select true and professional ‘Consuls’ in accordance with the law to fulfill the obligations of the Alliance’s head agency in the new era within a limited time…”
It was a complex and strict selection process, even more rigorous than that of the Willant Alliance. As for the detailed process, I will not go into details here.
In short, the young man named Gu Ning from the Death Coast who was recognized by most of the residents of the Alliance and took over the historical stage was recognized by most of the residents of the Alliance. He
was a young man with vigor and vitality.
His eyes were shining, just like many young people living in this era.
And it was not just light.
He also had rich work experience accumulated from the local to the Dawn City, as well as the skills of a mature politician, and was able to hear the voices of ordinary people in the Alliance while taking into account the obligations of the Alliance.
Although he did not fight for the Alliance on the battlefield, nor did he make great military achievements, nor did he have a prominent bloodline or background… But it was precisely because of this that he also had no chance to usurp the fruits of victory of the citizens of the Alliance.
Of course.
What really guaranteed this was not entirely his humble origin, but those who defended the dignity of the law.
The Alliance’s Guards and various group armies would watch his every move for the citizens of the Alliance.
Not only the Guards Corps and the various armies, but also Chu Guang and the players in Shelter 404 will do the same.
He just stopped interfering in the affairs of the Alliance and handed over the Alliance Building to the people who built it. He did not disappear from this universe.
With his own prestige and influence in the hearts of ordinary people in the Alliance, even if he does not hold any specific position in the Alliance and does not directly command any army, he can still exert influence on all aspects of the Alliance.
Just like Dr. Conclusion to the Academy.
That is the power of the human heart.
Its power not only surpasses all weapons known to mankind, but also has the power to move mountains and fill the sea.
However, Chu Guang does not intend to use this energy easily unless it is absolutely necessary. After all,
if nothing unexpected happens, his life span may be longer than that of the old man in the Great Rift Valley.
200 years…
God knows what people thought and what they looked like at that time.
He can’t just pull out his great-great-great-grandson and beat him up just because he doesn’t look like him.
It’s weird that he can still look the same after so many generations!
He would not take out the hammer hanging on his back and smash everything to pieces just because of such boring trivial matters.
Unless there is one situation –
one day in the future, the people who took over the scepter from him did not shoulder the responsibilities that are equal to the power, but expanded into a monster with bared fangs and claws in willfulness and recklessness, and used the scepter he gave to all citizens of the alliance to weave a cage of slavery.
”If one day in the future, the citizens of the alliance are calling my name, just like the Willant people who called Julius… I will return like lightning and smash everything here to pieces.”
On the day of handing over government affairs, in the manager’s office of the Alliance Building.
Looking at Gu Ning, the first consul of the alliance who stood respectfully in front of him, Chu Guang smiled and patted his shoulder, saying this in a serious tone.
Gu Ning nodded slightly, and there was no fear on his face with a clear conscience, and he only answered meticulously.
”I will remember your teachings… If that day comes, I will shout your name with them.”
”Hahaha!” Chu Guang laughed heartily and took back his hand on his shoulder. “You’d better pray that this day will not come. After all, I’m afraid my hammer will hit you on the head first.”
Gu Ning smiled slightly.
”If I am really incompetent to that extent, it would be an honor to die in your hands.”
Although he said this with a smile, Chu Guang could tell that he was serious.
There was nothing else to remind him, so Chu Guang put away his joking expression and left a last word of encouragement.
”Do a good job, don’t just talk. Also, remember to pass this sentence to your successor and let him pass it on.”
Gu Ning nodded seriously and remembered this sentence.
”I will definitely pass it on word for word. In addition… can I make an unreasonable request?”
”Go ahead.”
Gu Ning paused for a while and looked at Chu Guang sincerely.
”Although the Alliance authorities no longer have the position of manager, I would like to keep this ‘Manager’s Office’ for you as part of the history of this building… and also as a spur to me and encouragement to others. As for me, I will work in another place. Anyway, there are still many empty rooms here.”
This is not only his idea, but also the idea of many people.
For example, the commander of the Guards Corps.
I don’t know if it was his illusion. When he learned that he might have to sit here to work in the future, he always felt that the young man stared at him with a bit of murderous intent.
In fact, let alone Lu Bei, he also felt that the chair in this office was too hot for his butt.
It’s better to keep it as a cultural relic.
Chu Guang didn’t think too much about it. He just smiled when he heard this interesting suggestion.
”You should ask other people’s opinions instead of asking me. But whether you keep this office for me or not, I will never come back… My work is over.”
”From now on, it will be handed over to you.”
Looking at the back figure waving his hand and walking out of the door in a chic manner, Gu Ning nodded slightly and whispered to himself.
”Yes, but as the survivors who have been helped by you… we want to remember it forever.”
At least in his heart, he will always be the manager of the alliance.
And only that gentleman deserves this title…
…
In the last month of the first year of the new era, as the position of manager was officially removed from the establishment of the Alliance Building, an era came to an end.
On the other side, the β universe where the player’s main body is located also came to the end of 2026.
It seems that the last job has been finally completed. The mysterious spacecraft hovering in the orbit around Mars suddenly disappeared in full view of the public, and it is suspected that it went to Nanmen II five light years away through the hyperspace channel.
The discussion about what Nanmen II is hiding has also set off a wave of enthusiasm on the Internet for a while.
At the same time, after half a year of preparation and publicity work, the public beta server of “Wasteland OL” is finally officially launched!
Thirty million virtual reality helmets were snapped up, and the offline experience stores operated by various agents were even more crowded.
On the day of the opening of the service, nearly 30 million players around the world instantly overwhelmed the major servers.
Faced with the immersive light and shadow, and the sense of touch that was almost the same as reality… everyone was deeply shocked.
This game is
simply amazing!
