Chapter 131 Guards’ Exclusive Weapons

  Chapter 131 Guards’ Exclusive Weapons

  ”Fuck! It’s not a loss! I lost a lot this time!”

  Official forum.

  When seeing the marginal brother and a group of cloud players forcibly explaining that this wave of “extreme 1 for 1” was not a loss at all, [Lao Wang next door] could no longer hold back and jumped out.

  Seizing the opportunity, a certain forum pet took the lead in launching a group mockery.

  What can I do with you? “It’s so funny! 10 people fighting 1, and 1 of them died and 1 was injured. Do you know how to play the game? If I were you, I would smash the helmet and go to bed. What’s the point of playing the game if you are so bad. Of course, this game doesn’t exist at all. Anyway, you guys keep making it up. I’ll just treat it as a joke.”

  Irena: “Here’s a little-known fact. The closed beta helmet is lent to you by the game company. After all, you didn’t even pay for the shipping fee, and they didn’t let you recharge your card. If you smash it, you will probably get a lawyer’s letter. (Funny)”

  Edgepad: “Ahem, I’m sorry, Lao Wang. I admit that there were some mistakes in this wave of command. I didn’t expect this mutant to be so shady, even with tripwires and mines. It’s really unbelievable. Wu De! But don’t worry, I’ve figured out their routines, and I’ll definitely do it next time!”

  Lao Wang next door: “I don’t trust you! I’m a dog if I get in your black car again!”

  Midnight Chicken Killer: “It’s a bit of a loss, it’s really a loss. One goblin rocket costs 5 silver coins, and the basic income for the mission is 15 silver coins. The 15 silver coins rewarded for killing a mutant are from the team bonus pool, and each person only gets 1.5 silver. ”

  Edge Water: “Didn’t I give you the 15 silver coins as a reward! I obviously got hit by one bullet, okay!”

  Midnight Chicken Killer: “No, I just want to complain. The rocket was useless. It didn’t kill him at all after one shot, and I had to rush up with an axe to finish him off.”

  WC is really a mosquito: “Fuck! You are using it to blow up mutants, why don’t you use it to blow up claw crabs? It’s written on the official website database that the physical data of mutants is above 30, and the upper limit is unknown. What does 30 physical fitness mean?! Physical fitness players may not have such high attributes even if they reach level 20! Be reasonable, brother, if it wasn’t my rocket that blew it into a big mess, would you have had a chance to go up and finish it off?”

  Midnight Kill Chicken: “Sparrow!”

  WC is really a mosquito: “Fuck!! You wait, take me with you on this mission next time! (Angry)”

  Irena: “Forget it, I’m a little scared. I wanted to go and have a look after I was resurrected tomorrow… I still won’t go. (Funny)”

  Night Ten: “Don’t be scared, Lao Na, I remember you were super brave. (Funny)”

  Irena: “If you call me Lao Na again, I will hold a grudge! (#｀皿)”

  Seven o’clock in the evening, the resident hall of Shelter No. 404.

  After dinner, Chu Guang sat in front of the computer, browsing the forum as usual to see what his little players were talking about.

  In order to facilitate his more efficient screen browsing, or reviewing memorials, Chu Guang asked Xiao Qi to help make a table to count the most popular topics on the forum from 6 to 7 every evening.

  This time is basically the most active time for closed beta players on the official website.

  As expected, “The Mutant Tribe of Street 76” topped the topic popularity list and firmly ranked first.

  This is the first time that the Outpost and the Mutant Tribe of Street 76 have fought.

  Before, most players’ impressions of mutants were based on the pictures and text settings in the official database, as well as the second settings that netizens had imagined based on official information.

  Although on the surface, it is a bit embarrassing to fight 10 against 1 and still end up like this, Chu Guang knows very well that it is actually not bad to achieve this result.

  First of all, the average level of the players participating in the war is LV5, which can only be regarded as the second echelon in the outpost. Whether in terms of level or combat experience, they are not the top, so it is normal to suffer some losses.

  Another thing is that those green-skinned muscle guys are notoriously difficult to deal with.

  Their extraordinary recovery ability and resistance are almost immune to all poisons. Not only that, they also have a digestive system comparable to that of mutant hyenas. When they are extremely hungry, they can even eat the rotten meat on the body of the gnawer.

  It is no exaggeration to say that they are even more adapted to the environment of this wasteland planet than the aliens. At least in the early years, the aliens and the survivors were tortured by the harsh winter, but these green-skinned muscle guys who came out of nowhere have footprints all over the wasteland planet.

  Some people say that they are victims of biological weapons, some say that they actively embraced evolution, and some say that they themselves are biological weapons.

  The more reliable rumor is that their ancestors came from a shelter with an unknown number. Because they could not survive the desperate winter in the early days, they were forced to accept the genetic modification technology that had not yet been fully developed.

  In fact, apart from being a little ugly, the genes of these green-skinned muscle guys are still very strong. Not only are they highly adaptable to the wasteland environment, they can live in a radiation environment for a long time and ensure the stability of their genetics, and they also have an “iron stomach” that can digest almost all food.

  If they are given thousands of years to develop, they may really replace the old humans as new humans and become the new masters of this planet.

  However, mutants are not without weaknesses.

  Their huge size forces them to live in taller houses, and their utilization rate of pre-war civilization heritage is far lower than that of humans. Their thick fingers and underdeveloped cerebellum make it difficult for them to use their joints as flexibly and coordinately as humans. If they want to make precision instruments, they must put in more effort… but due to their tribal culture, this is almost impossible.

  Even some predators can make weapons such as iron barrel rifles by themselves, but for mutants, putting black powder into cans to make tripwire mines is almost the pinnacle of their technology tree.

  If they have guns, they must have taken them from other humans. Most of the time, the speed at which guns are worn out in their hands is as fast as the ammunition. They are more inclined to tear their opponents into pieces with axes, saws, and butcher knives, and hang their intestines on their armor to intimidate the living enemies.

  This is the most time-saving way of killing for them.

  In addition, although they have almost abnormal recovery ability, their heads are still their weaknesses.

  Even if their chests can withstand the continuous shooting of 7mm rifles and rely on “unscientific” recovery and toughness to quickly repair damaged muscle tissue, internal organs and bones, it is difficult to put back the tofu brain that has been spilled on the ground.

  Therefore, many mutants will wear a heavy helmet on their heads even if they are naked. If conditions permit, they will also hang some things such as car doors, billboards, and tank armor plates on their chests to protect the heart and lungs that are not so easy to repair.

  Chu Guang noticed that Brother Fang had edited a summary post, which summarized the discussions and exchanges of the players who participated in the battle today, and comprehensively analyzed the weaknesses and strengths of the mutants, which provided a relatively reliable reference for players who planned to challenge the mutant tribe on Street 76.

  ”Let me first state the conclusion. This task is still quite difficult for players below LV5! Referring to the panel data provided by the official website, this mutant is at least equivalent to a level 20 wild monster in other MMORPGs. A group of level 5 players challenging a level 20 monster is obviously overkill, so it is normal for casualties to occur.”

  ”However, Wasteland OL is somewhat different from other MMORPGs, and the effects of attributes are not as direct as in other games, but more similar to the rules of DND. That is, as long as you roll high enough points continuously, outrageous things like goblins slaying dragons are not impossible.”

  ”I guess the planners placed the mutant tribe near the outpost of the novice village, probably to test whether asymmetric combat will affect the gaming experience. After all, in a real wasteland, danger will not stay away from you just because you are weak. If my analysis is correct, then congratulations everyone, we are a big step closer to the public beta! Our players have proved with practical experience that level suppression is not absolute, and high-level monsters are not invincible! Even if we can’t see their health bars!”

  ”Of course, having said that, if you don’t have enough confidence in your own strength, it’s better to choose whether to accept this task with caution.” “However,

  opportunities always come with risks. If you can defeat the mutant tribe, the rewards should be very generous.”

  ”This game has a lot of hidden mechanisms. If you are interested, I suggest you think about it more!”

  …

  The next day.

  After lying in the incubator for a night, [Paddy on the Edge] almost recovered from his leg injury. He tied a homemade bandage on his thigh and continued to set off with a group of teammates.

  The teammates were still the same as yesterday, but this time, [Old Wang next door] who was waiting for the resurrection CD was replaced by [There is really a mosquito in WC].

  In order to avenge his previous shame, Brother Mosquito also spent a lot of money this time. He directly brought a half-person-high box and asked a strength player to help carry it.

  The group set out from the east gate with great momentum and killed in the direction of Street 76.

  Although Chu Guang took into account the strength of the mutants and appropriately increased the income of the raid mission, carrying so many guys… can it really make back the money?

  Other players were also complaining.

  ”Is Mosquito crazy?”

  ”My goodness, such a big box, it doesn’t cost money to use it as gunpowder!”

  ”Too hardcore!”

  Ye Shi glanced at his teammates around him.

  ”To be honest, I kind of want to take a look.”

  Kuangfeng and Lao Bai ignored him, only Fang Chang glanced at him and said realistically.

  ”To be honest, let’s finish the ‘Greenhouse Ruins’ first. It’s been delayed for so long.”

  Although he was curious about what was in Mosquito’s box, it was obviously more important to make money and move bricks.

  After Fang Chang and his group put on “anti-moth equipment”, they also set out from the east gate.

  The greenhouse ruins are at the entrance of Street 76, and the two groups happened to be on the same road.

  After Chu Guang took a look in the sky through the drone, he returned the control of the drone to Xiao Qi and went to Boss Xia’s weapon shop.

  Since changing to a new workbench, Boss Xia no longer has to rub bullet shells by hand. Put the cut rough material on the mold, start the stamping module and poke it down, and a brand new shell will be stamped out.

  However, stamping the shell is only the first step in making bullets. In order to get a bullet with sufficient power, stable performance and no jamming, you have to go through a series of tedious processes.

  In order to improve work efficiency, Xia Yan hired two female workers from the nomadic camp, each of whom was paid two silver coins a day, with food and accommodation provided.

  One of them is responsible for loading the shell with propellant and primer using professional tools. The other is responsible for loading the loaded shell with lead bullet.

  Xia Yan himself operates the professional tools on the workbench to process the bullet and shell, and curls the bottom of the loaded bullet, and rolls the grooves on the bullet embedded in the shell to ensure that the bullet and the shell are absolutely sealed.

  After completing all the processes, the bullet needs to be washed once to wash away the metal debris on the surface of the shell.

  These metal debris that cannot be seen by the naked eye have a high probability of causing jams and affecting shooting accuracy.

  However, even after so many processes, the bullets produced cannot be compared with those produced by professional assembly lines.

  But for players, this stamped bullet is much more comfortable than the rolled bullet that Boss Xia used to “stamp at low speed” with a small cone.

  At least, the shells of these bullets do not have those pits and dents. No longer have to worry about squatting down to deal with stuck shells while shooting.

  ”What’s up?”

  Looking at Chu Guang walking towards her, Xia Yan placed the full basket of shells she had just processed on the wooden table next to her.

  These parts for making bullets were enough to keep the two unskilled employees in the next room busy for a while.

  Chu Guang looked at her and asked.

  ”How much ammunition do we have now?”

  Xia Yan replied.

  ”There are 3,500 rounds of rolled bullets left. As for stamped bullets, including the ones you brought back from Beth Street and the ones I made this week, there are probably tens of thousands of them in total.”

  Chu Guang looked slightly surprised.

  ”So many?”

  Shaking her bangs, Xia Yan’s mouth curled up a little, seeming very proud.

  ”A lot? Not bad. The processing efficiency of this workbench is OK. As long as you master the skills, the processing speed will be much faster than before. In addition to making bullets, I also used other materials to imitate 4 7mm iron barrel rifles. Although they are not as good as the ones you bought from the merchants in Boulder City, they are not a big problem to use. But I have to remind you that if you continue to consume at this rate, the copper in the warehouse may not be enough by the end of next month.”

  Although this reminder was serious, Chu Guang didn’t take it too seriously.

  At present, Bet Street is under the control of Shelter No. 404.

  If necessary, he can easily mobilize the scavengers of Bet Street to go deep into the city within the Fifth Ring Road to collect resources by raising the price of resource recycling.

  In addition, he can also mobilize local survivors through Old Charlie to form a scavenging team, and go to those dangerous areas that they would not approach under the escort of players to search.

  ”Don’t worry about this, I will arrange people to increase the collection of resources.”

  After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

  ”In addition, I plan to train a group of guards to maintain the security of the outpost. I need about 15 iron rifles… Well, it would be best if they can be completed within a week. If the deadline is too tight, it’s okay to slow down the production of bullets.”

  ”Guards?” Xia Yan looked at Chu Guang strangely and said teasingly, “Who can fight better than your ‘players’?”

  ”That’s different.”

  Chu Guang shook his head. He really didn’t know how to explain the difference between NPC guards and player guards, so he simply didn’t explain it.

  ”In short, it’s not okay to let players do the same job for a long time. They work for us not to make money, but for fun.”

  Guards standing guard at the gate and patrolling outside are usually the newcomers. Old players do

  n’t care about the income. At present, the speed of new version release is quite fast. There are new people coming in continuously. There is no need to worry about no one doing these basic positions.

  But if refugees continue to pour in, public security will soon become a big problem.

  It is obviously unrealistic to expect the work of maintaining public security to be completely handed over to the players. They are not good at this.

  Chu Guang plans to transfer some survivors from the brick factory to form a fixed standing guard team to maintain public security in the outpost area.

  Their weapons don’t need to be too good, just enough to be able to deter.

  At the same time, these NPCs are also a constraint for the players.

  After all, no matter how good Xiaoqi’s eyesight is, it can only be used as a tool for supervision and judgment. The deterrent power is definitely not as good as a group of guards carrying rifles and armbands.

  When the number of players increases, these people will definitely come in handy.

  ”Fun?” Xia Yan’s eyes widened and murmured, “What fun can this have?”

  There are actually people who feel happy about their work.

  This is too unreasonable!

  ”You don’t understand, just do what I say.”

  How can I understand if you don’t tell me?

  Xia Yan complained silently in her heart, but she didn’t want to confront her boss in person, so she nodded obediently.

  ”Okay, 15 guns? It won’t take a week. If we stop making bullets, we can get it done in three or four days. By the way, what caliber do you want? Bolt action or revolver? Is the 7mm iron barrel rifle hanging on the wall okay?”

  ”7mm caliber, bolt action is fine, but I have some requirements for the appearance.”

  As he said, Chu Guang raised his arm, lightly stroked the VM with his index finger, and sent a drawing downloaded from the Internet to Xia Yan’s VM.

  Looking at the picture on the screen, Xia Yan was slightly stunned, and her expression was full of weirdness.

  Thick and long gun body, heavy receiver and magazine, pure wooden buttstock.

  Although the shape does look more beautiful than the iron barrel rifle on the wall, and is full of rough power overall, she really can’t think of the meaning of designing the gun into this shape?

  Is it designed to be so heavy so that it can be swung up and hit people?

  ”I don’t quite understand… I won’t complain about the gun body, but is it necessary to design the receiver so wide?”

  Chu Guang said indifferently.

  ”It just looks thick on the outside. You can think of those flashy parts as a kind of ‘skin designed for deterrence’. Anyway, the processing is not difficult and it doesn’t consume much material. As for the effective structure including the barrel, receiver, spring, and firing pin, it is still copied from the rifle we bought from the merchant in Boulder City.”

  ”Okay…”

  Xia Yan nodded helplessly.

  There are texts under the picture. Are they to be engraved on the butt as the name of the weapon?

  Arbitrator I?

  It sounds weird…

  ”Well, I’ll leave it to you.”

  After explaining the matter, Chu Guang was about to leave, but at this moment, the VM screen on his arm suddenly lit up and a text message popped up.

  The message was undoubtedly sent by Xiao Qi.

  ”Master, your player seems to be in trouble!”
