Chapter 11 Daily Missions
Chapter 11 Daily Tasks
”Generator? Why are you asking about that?”
In the present world, in the cafeteria of Jinling University.
Looking at Professor Yan Feng who was sitting across the table and asking sincere questions, Professor Wang Haiyang stopped using his chopsticks.
He didn’t know much about Professor Yan. He only knew that he was from the Department of Physics and was about the same age as himself, both around 30 years old. He
couldn’t remember when he added him on WeChat, and they never chatted after adding each other. He was from the School of Engineering Management, and he didn’t have much intersection with him at work.
But today, he suddenly received an invitation from Professor Yan to have lunch in the cafeteria, saying that he had something to ask him.
To be honest, when Professor Wang saw the word “ask”, he thought it was about the project, but after the appointment, he didn’t expect him to ask such a strange question.
The topic continued in a casual chat atmosphere.
Yan Feng explained.
”…I recently read a novel about the end of the world. I want to know how the survivors would solve the power problem if a similar situation really happened?”
”Why do you take the things in the novel seriously? Just look at how the author writes it,” Professor Wang Haiyang said with a smile, “but your question is quite interesting. The end of the world…it depends on what type of the end of the world it is, and how many days after the end of the world it is.”
He also likes to read novels, but he reads only immortal cultivation novels, and rarely reads the end of the world.
He never thought that one day he would have such a serious discussion about the content of the novel with his colleagues in the university.
”The setting is two hundred years after the nuclear war.”
”Two hundred years? Nuclear war?” Professor Wang Haiyang was stunned and hesitated, “That might be a bit troublesome. Unprotected electronic equipment will be damaged by the electromagnetic pulse generated by the nuclear explosion. The more sophisticated the instrument, the more difficult it is to survive.”
”Is there any way?” Yan Feng frowned.
”Yes, there are. For example, you can find spare diesel generators in general residential property or restaurants. This is not a very sophisticated device, but two hundred years… it is estimated that it has been looted by someone. And even if it has not been looted, it has not been maintained for a long time, and the parts inside will probably be aged. And fuel is also a problem. Two hundred years after the end of the world… you can’t expect to find gasoline in gas stations.”
Wang Haiyang touched his chin, thought for a moment and continued.
”But there is not no way at all.”
”What is the way?” Yan Feng asked immediately.
”Generally speaking, every car has a recyclable generator. As long as the rotor is rotated, it can generate a stable 12V DC power. It should be usable after repairing it. For small-scale power generation, such as lighting, 12V voltage is also enough. If you can find an inverter, it is not impossible to convert DC power into 240V AC power… By the way, is it necessary to take notes on this?”
Wang Haiyang looked confused as he took out a small notebook and took notes seriously.
Is it necessary to read novels so seriously?
Pushing his glasses, Yan Feng said nonchalantly.
”Don’t worry, please continue.”
Wang Haiyang: “…”
I always heard people say that all the students in the physics department are freaks, and he thought it was a stereotype.
Now, he believes it a little.
…
Wasteland. Shelter
No. 404.
Chu Guang slept on the floor in the resident hall and woke up at four in the morning. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the pop-up window of the system prompt.
[Congratulations to the host, unlocking the achievement “Novice Guide” (the player’s continuous online time on the first day of login exceeds 8 hours)]
[Reward: +10 reward points]
There is such a good thing?
I can draw blind boxes again after waking up.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Chu Guang opened the system and selected the [Manager Allowance] sub-page in the interface.
He hesitated between the primary blind box worth 1 reward point and the intermediate blind box worth 10 reward points. In the end, Chu Guang still put all the “chips” on the button of the intermediate blind box, and prayed silently in his heart.
Please.
Don’t draw a cough syrup!
The light blue light flickered.
Under Chu Guang’s nervous gaze, the alloy door on the side of the wall of the resident hall opened, and a plastic-encapsulated syringe appeared on the platform.
[Muscle cell strengthening injection. (Small permanent increase in muscle strength, 24 hours between uses, and the effect decreases with repeated use)]
”Permanently increase muscle strength?”
This thing is a good thing!
Chu Guang did not hesitate, immediately tore open the outer packaging and took off the needle cap, but surprisingly, he did not see the needle.
How to use this thing?
Hesitantly, Chu Guang put the head of the needle on his arm and pressed the button at the end that seemed to be a switch. The arm was like being stung by something, and then…
nothing happened.
”Is this the end?”
Chu Guang was a little confused, and waved his fist, but he didn’t feel any obvious changes in his body.
Could it be expired?
After all, it was something from two hundred years ago…
Out of caution, Chu Guang still gave himself a physical examination.
And when he got the test results, the confusion in his heart was finally answered.
[
ID:
Chu Guang Gene sequence: Manager
level: LV.5
- Basic attributes –
Strength: 9
Agility: 6
Constitution: 7
Perception: 7
Intelligence: 6
]
”The progress of gene development has not changed. Strength and constitution have increased by 1 point each…hiss, something is new!”
Under normal circumstances, if a 20-year-old adult male has not received special training, his strength and constitution are usually 5 points, and the number 5 is also the benchmark value of each attribute.
In other words, this 1 point of strength and constitution is equivalent to 20% of the physical fitness of a normal adult male.
Chu Guang is now only 1 point short of strength attribute, and he can have twice the strength of a normal adult male.
Looking at the updated attribute panel, Chu Guang was thinking about whether to do a few push-ups to try it out, but at this moment, he suddenly found that a new task was updated in the [Manager Log].
When he opened it, Chu Guang was stunned.
Wow.
Before I went to bed yesterday, there was only one unfinished branch quest left, and today the number of unfinished quests has directly increased to 20+!
The types of quests are also varied.
From “hunting an alien”, “stockpiling 5 tons of wood”, “stockpiling 100L of fresh water” and other not-so-difficult quests, to “repairing the outer wall of the sanatorium”, “repairing the wall on the second floor of the sanatorium”, these quests are all available.
As for the rewards, they range from a minimum of 1 point to a maximum of 20 points.
These quests all have a unified label – “daily”.
”What does daily mean? Will it refresh every day?” Chu Guang couldn’t help but complain.
However, no one paid attention to him.
The shelter system doesn’t talk, and Xiao Qi is standing guard at the sanatorium outside, so he is the only one in the entire shelter.
Chu Guang silently calculated in his mind that if he could complete all 20 quests, he could get a total of 150 reward points.
Of course, at least three-quarters of the reward points are not so easy to get, at least not in a day or two.
Chu Guang fell into deep thought.
If he were to do all these tasks by himself, he would be exhausted. But if it were to be done by the players, he would only need to pay a few “contribution points”.
Thinking of this, his thoughts became clear instantly.
There was a marker in the drawer of the computer desk.
Holding the pen, Chu Guang took the elevator to the surface without saying a word. After searching the sanatorium, he found a piece of plastic board that had not been picked up and burned by the scavengers.
Dusting off the dust on the plastic board, Chu Guang took the marker and drew two lines on it, then erased it and nodded with satisfaction.
”Not bad.”
It can be erased and written.
It’s you!
After spending some time, Chu Guang picked a few tasks that players had a chance to complete from the [Administrator Log] and wrote them on the plastic board.
[Collecting wood (requirement: can be used as building materials): 1 contribution point per meter. ]
[Finding a water storage container (material: plastic, metal. Shape: barrel, pot. Requirement: the bigger the better!): 1~10 contribution points. ]
[Searching for recyclable waste: 1~? Click contribution points. 】
【……】
”It’s done!”
I looked at the time. It was 4:30 in the morning, and there was still an hour and a half before the agreed launch time.
Chu Guang was not idle. He returned to the shelter, turned on the computer, and logged into the official website to check. He found that the number of reservations had increased by 10 compared to last night.
Now there are 35 people.
It seems that the discussion in the group yesterday still played a certain role in attracting traffic. Ten more fresh young leeks raised their hands.
However, Chu Guang thought that the user potential of the “Cow Horse Club” seemed to be squeezed to the limit.
After all, this is just a game group of about a hundred people. The number of active users can be counted on one hand. Maybe these 35 people are all the living people.
”Should we consider changing the promotion method?”
It is not realistic to place advertisements. The official website of Wasteland OL is not registered in China. Maybe even the server is not on the earth.
And there is another problem here.
Once the traffic is diverted from a larger traffic pool, a large number of “low-quality users”, that is, people who make trouble, will inevitably flow in.
These people may have just clicked yes for fun, or simply clicked it accidentally.
Recruiting such players will only cause trouble.
”The threshold for reservations must be raised…”
Chu Guang thought to himself and silently took note of this matter.
I will ask Xiao Qi to make some changes to the official website later, such as adjusting the reservation option from the first-level page to the second-level page, and requiring registration of an account, as well as filling in a phone number and delivery address to make a reservation.
Although this shelter system does not seem to require players to fill in things like delivery addresses, doing so can at least screen out some players with weak wills and “invalid reservations.”
What if someone opens multiple devices for reservation?
Or is it simply a robot + virtual machine?
But after thinking about it, Chu Guang threw this question away.
Since the system can deliver the helmet to the user accurately, there must be a way to identify the identity of the person who made the reservation.
It’s a bit unfounded to worry so much.
”The new main task has not been triggered yet, probably because the conditions have not been met.”
”Let’s not worry about the daily tasks for now. The key is the remaining ‘branch’ – a 10KW generator is required.”
Electricity is a big problem.
It’s impossible that the shelter is in the future and the people on the surface are still living in primitive society.
For Chu Guang, who comes from modern society, without electricity, there is no difference from primitive society.
”Let’s think about how to solve the problem of the generator!”
