Chapter 190 Look, this is how players use it
Chapter 190 Look, this is how the players use it.
In the south of the Linhu Wetland Park, a plane emitting a light blue arc of fire flew over the abandoned urban area in the northern suburbs.
I noticed the situation in the sky early.
Liu Ding, the deputy captain of the guard team wearing an exoskeleton, led five fully armed players to greet them from the south gate of the park.
In addition to these five players, there were more than 10 players led by another guard, ambushing in the forest not far from the south gate of the wetland park.
In the event of an accident, the two sides will support each other and pour fire from long and short distances at the same time. So many guns are more than enough to suppress a plane that has already landed.
However, the other party does not seem to have any intention of fighting?
After the plane stopped, a total of three people jumped down.
Two of them were wearing exoskeletons and holding X-2 drone assault rifles in their hands. They looked like armed guards or bodyguards.
The man standing in the middle had no weapons, only a washed-out brown leather jacket, raised his hands to indicate that he had no ill intentions, and walked towards the guards and players with a smile on his face.
”Don’t be nervous, I’m just a postman with a message. I want to see your lord… or does he have another name?”
”You can call him the administrator.”
Holding a ‘Sickle’ assault rifle in his hand, Liu Ding narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the man while using his peripheral vision to be alert to the two bodyguards standing next to the man.
”Tell me what you want to do.”
”I said, I’m here to bring a message… By the way, your gun looks good, where did you buy it from?”
Seeing that the guy in the exoskeleton looked more and more ugly, the man who claimed to be a postman finally restrained his frivolous expression and coughed and said.
”Okay, no more jokes, my employer wants to buy something from you… It’s about the height of my knees, a box, the black one, which was previously placed in the office of the administrator of Shelter No. 117. If you agree, my employer is willing to pay 50,000 chips-”
Before the voice fell, the voice broadcast through the loudspeaker came from afar.
”Before I change my mind, you’d better go back to where you came from.”
Chu Guang, wearing a power armor and carrying a Gauss rifle on his shoulder, walked out of the south gate of Linghu Wetland Park.
Seeing his dark blue armor, the postman was not nervous or surprised at all, but the two bodyguards beside him showed nervous expressions and were ready for battle.
Gauss rifle!
With the penetrating power of this thing, as long as you hit the right position, it is enough to shoot down the plane!
And the power armor he was wearing was even more so. Ordinary bullets and fragmentation weapons hitting his chest armor were like tickling.
”Fifty thousand chips are already a lot…Okay, I’m leaving. Guys, retreat, our trip was in vain.”
The man who claimed to be the postman originally wanted to make a final effort, but it seemed that he sensed the dangerous aura from Chu Guang and immediately gave up the plan.
Chu Guang did not stop him.
Because Chu Guang’s intuition told him that the plane should be rented by this person – or the boss behind this person, and it would be very troublesome if he really shot it down.
The Boulder City near the Third Ring Road has not taken him seriously for the time being. Perhaps in the eyes of those people, the survivors with only a few hundred or a thousand people are just a small fight. They have no industry and no business. They are like a rotten stone on the roadside. They are no different from the Blood Hand Clan who lived near the northern suburbs of the city. Since
the neighbors were not interested in him, Chu Guang naturally did not intend to take the initiative to provoke those people.
The location of Shelter No. 404 is very awkward. It is stuck near the northern suburbs of Qingquan City. The development space is very small. There
are already enough troubles from the north. If he provokes people from the south, he will be caught in a situation of fighting on two fronts. He
returned to the plane with his bodyguards. Standing next to the cabin door, the man raised his voice and said in a tone of seven parts seriousness and three parts joking.
”Respected King of the Northern Suburbs, my master – an insignificant armed broker, let me give you a piece of advice.”
Chu Guang looked at him.
”Speak.”
The man continued with a smile.
”You are very powerful. I heard that you even intervened in the dispute between the legion and the enterprise. A hero like you should wrestle with big men like the Lord of Boulder City. It is really beyond our business scope to be your enemy.”
”My master said that if you plan to keep the box, then we can only give up this commission… I believe that no blind mercenary would dare to come here to disturb you for those hundreds or thousands of chips. This is purely asking for trouble.”
When he said this, the man suddenly changed the subject.
”However, the boss who entrusted us to recycle the boxes is not so easy to deal with. Even a big shot like the city lord has to weigh the consequences of offending him. If that person is willing to use 50,000 chips to buy the black box in your hand, I believe that the value of that thing in his heart must be far more than 50,000 chips.”
”100,000? Or 200,000? No matter how much, he will not give up. Maybe after this winter, he will come to take it himself. If I were you, I would definitely not want to keep this hot potato in my hand. But I am just a small person after all, maybe you have other plans?”
”If you plan to change your mind, you can come to the Pirate Bay Tavern in Boulder City. You are a strong man worthy of respect. If there is a chance, my master would like to treat you to a drink.”
”By the way, his name is White Shark… Although you must have known it.”
The vertical take-off and landing aircraft slowly increased its altitude and returned to Boulder City in the south.
Watching the plane go away, Chu Guang laughed.
Fifty thousand chips?
Haha.
I can earn dozens of coins by picking up garbage for five months, and that’s under the exploitation of the old leech.
Yin Fang is studying how to use that thing to make implantable prosthetics, and his little player is waiting to use it to become stronger.
Want to take it from me?
Exchange it with your life!
However, in the end, the man who claimed to be a postman did not say who wanted the black box.
At this moment, Chu Guang’s heart moved slightly.
”Could it be… the torch?”
Those survivors who took away a lot of black boxes from Shelter No. 117!
It seems that they have lived well in recent years. Relying on the black technology props produced by the black boxes, they have become big figures in the mouths of the wastelanders.
However, Chu Guang was not panicked at all. Those black boxes were at most bionic organs and implantable prostheses, not weapons of mass destruction.
If they really come to the door, that’s perfect.
It saves me the trouble of looking for them.
Watching the plane disappear into the horizon, Liu Ding put away the rifle in his hand, walked to Chu Guang’s side, and said seriously.
”My lord, their planes are too arrogant. We lack effective air defense means. It’s very dangerous to continue like this.”
”I know.”
The lack of anti-aircraft weapons is indeed a problem.
When the people from Boulder City went to negotiate with the Pioneer, the planes stopped obediently a few kilometers away, but here, they flew directly to their doorstep.
Chu Guang thought for a moment, stretched out his right hand and tapped the side of the power armor helmet.
The orange visualization window was projected on the tactical eyepiece of the helmet.
The power armor has a built-in vital signs monitor, which is similar to the VM in function, and the difficulty of data intercommunication is not great. Programs that can run on the VM can naturally run here.
Chu Guang quickly edited a task and posted it in the “Weapon Production” task section of the public channel with his index finger tapping a few times in the air.
The players who will accept tasks here are the most powerful brothers in the server.
Look at Liu Ding, this is how players use it!
[Mission: Aerial Threat]
[Introduction: The deputy captain of the outpost guard seems to be a little troubled. Let’s go talk to him.]
[Deputy Captain of the Guard Liu Ding: The enemy’s planes come and go freely above our heads. We need an anti-aircraft weapon that can shoot them down when necessary! Or at least drive them away before they drop bombs!]
[Reward: 500 silver, 500 contribution.]
Done!
After finishing the work, Chu Guang looked at Liu Ding and said.
”In a few days, someone will come to you with some strange things. See which one is cheap and easy to use, and just tick it on the VM task page.”
Liu Ding was stunned.
Although he didn’t quite understand, he nodded.
”Okay… sir.”
…
At the same time, at the outpost.
Seeing that the manager of Shelter No. 404 had been out for a long time and hadn’t returned, the restless Heya walked out of the reception room.
When she walked to the door of the main building of the sanatorium, the players who happened to pass by here saw her in a blue coat at a glance, and their faces immediately showed an expression of discovering a new world.
”White hair!!”
”My giao! This game can also customize the color of hair?”
”Why didn’t anyone tell me!”
”Miss! What’s your nickname?”
Heya looked confused, not understanding what these residents of the shelter were saying.
More and more players gathered here, and soon someone discovered that although she was wearing a blue coat, she was not a player.
If this confused expression was fake, then her acting was too good!
”She doesn’t seem to understand what we are saying, nor our jokes.”
”She doesn’t look very smart… Is she a new NPC?”
”But she’s wearing a blue coat…”
”What’s so strange about this? It’s not just players who have blue coats. There are also a few in the maintenance room of Shelter No. 117, right? It’s just that we don’t seem to have met anyone from other shelters.”
This statement was recognized by many players.
Indeed, this game didn’t say that the blue coat is a patent of players, but the role played by the player is a resident of the shelter.
At this time, a little player who had just been doing a task in Shelter No. 117 came over.
”I know! She is the NPC that Yaya and Teng Teng picked up! In the hidden room of Shelter No. 117!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd around them suddenly made a surprised sound.
”What the hell?! The hidden room has been found?!”
”And it was by Boss Ya!”
”Damn, it’s not fair! The tail almost scraped off the wall and still couldn’t find it!”
”If you don’t understand, just ask, is it because there are mushrooms growing in the room?”
”You people, don’t underestimate Boss Ya, she is the first player in the whole server to be killed by monsters and trigger a penalty task, manual funny.”
”I don’t care about the hidden room, I just want to know where to pick up the same white-haired NPC?”
”Add one!”
Surrounded by this group of hospitable shelter residents, the confusion on Heya’s face gradually turned into confusion, and then from confusion to fear, not knowing what to do.
At this time, a power armor came from the direction of the south gate, and a loud voice floated out from the speaker.
”Everyone, disperse. Don’t scare people.”
”Let me introduce you. This is our new doctor of bioengineering in the shelter. She will officially take up her post from tomorrow… Miss Heya, please follow me.”
Heya nodded quickly and hid behind Chu Guang.
After using yellow card warnings on several excited little players, Chu Guang took her to the elevator and pressed the down button.
Looking at the closed elevator door, Heya finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with lingering fear.
”Are they all residents of Shelter No. 404?”
After removing the mask, Chu Guang stretched his neck and said casually.
”My ‘players’ are a little enthusiastic, please don’t be shy… By the way, ‘wanjia’ means residents, specifically residents of the shelter.”
”Why can’t I understand what they say? Aren’t you using human language?”
It was the same when they were in the emergency shelter before.
Heya couldn’t understand what the two ladies who woke her up from the hibernation capsule were saying.
However, Chu Guang didn’t intend to discuss this issue with her in depth.
”The Human Union has disappeared for more than 200 years. Is it strange that they have evolved other languages? But I know both languages, so don’t worry.”
Heya repeated the strange pronunciation of “wanjia” several times and memorized the word silently.
Leaving the power armor in the preparation room, Chu Guang took her through the two gates of the buffer room and went straight to the B2 floor, where there were a full hundred empty rooms in Area B.
Just found a room.
After assigning the permissions to her VM, Chu Guang looked at her and continued.
”This will be your new home from now on. The instructions for using the facilities and the “Shelter 404 Resident Manual” will be sent to your VM later. Starting tomorrow, you will be an expert in bioengineering, and I will assign you some things to do.”
Heya took a look inside the room and found that there was only a single bed and a table. The area was even smaller than the confinement room of Shelter No. 117.
”Your room… is so compact. Have you always lived in such a place?”
This was not the first time Chu Guang heard someone complain about how poor his shelter was, so he didn’t take it seriously at all.
”Yes, but our spiritual world is very rich. Those players… well, they go to other places to play when they sleep.”
”In the early days of entrepreneurship, the conditions are relatively difficult, but it will get better in the future. I hope you can overcome it.”
What is entrepreneurship?
Although she had only slept for twenty years, Heya felt as if she was in another world.
Is the generation gap between shelters so big?
Why are there words and concepts that she doesn’t understand…
After settling Heya, Chu Guang returned to the central square on the B2 floor.
Just when he was about to go to the newly unlocked B3 floor to see what the first-generation manager had left for him there, he found that Boss Xia was holding Xiaoqi and waiting at the elevator door.
Xiaoqi also saw Chu Guang and shouted from a distance.
”Master!”
Chu Guang looked at Xia Yan and Xiao Qi in her arms, and asked with a strange expression.
”Why did you bring Xiao Qi down?”
”It asked me to bring it down… By the way, who is that white-haired woman?” After putting Xiao Qi on the ground, Xia Yan glanced behind Chu Guang and found that she was no longer there.
Chu Guang said casually.
”She was the only resident of Shelter No. 117, and my players brought her back.”
”Oh.” Xia Yan nodded as if she understood, and said in a low voice with a little hesitation, “But… is it really okay to let her live in directly? What if she is a bad person.” Chu
Guang said with a smile.
”Don’t worry, Xiao Qi will keep an eye on her 24 hours a day. If there is any abnormal behavior, I will know it at the first time.”
Xiao Qi said helplessly: “Although it is true, Xiao Qi still does not recommend that the master bring some people of unknown origin in, especially the guy with a machine in his right hand. I always feel that the way he looks at me is weird and scary.” There is such a thing
? !
”It’s because I’m worried that I want to keep them under my watch… Is the guy with the machine in his right hand Yin Fang? I’ll let him pay attention.”
After a pause, Chu Guang continued.
”Let’s not talk about this for now. I have something to deal with. Since you are here, let’s go together.”
Xia Yan was stunned: “Together? What do you mean together…”
Chu Guang’s mouth curled up a faint smile.
”Let’s go and see our B3 floor.”
As he said, he walked into the elevator and gently swiped his index finger on the touch screen. Soon, the words [B3 floor permissions unlocked] appeared on it.
Xiao Qi, who was following Chu Guang’s calf, made a surprised sound.
”Wow, master, have you got the B3 floor permissions?”
Chu Guang nodded.
”Yes, I just got it.”
The elevator door closed and then sank slightly.
When the door opened again, dry and fresh air immediately hit his face, just like when Chu Guang first stepped into the B2 floor.
”I always feel like this place has just been cleaned…” Xia Yan looked around, followed Chu Guang’s footsteps, and walked out of the elevator.
The layout here is exactly the same as that of the B2 floor. Whether it is the four circular fan-shaped partitions and the elevator tower in the center of the square, or the total of 600 rooms, as well as the public canteen and sanitary facilities in Area A.
Even the passage between Area A and Area B is exactly the same!
Chu Guang’s eyes fell on the passage, and his heart moved slightly, looking at the floor plan printed next to the elevator.
From the plan, it can be seen that behind the passage is a rectangular space and four rectangular areas of varying sizes divided by partitions.
This seems to be a “functional area”.
”Power room, planting area, medical laboratory, warehouse… and buffer room? Wait, why is there a buffer room behind the warehouse?” Chu Guang’s face was a little surprised. The
buffer room is a special structure used to balance the air pressure inside and outside the shelter. It contains two gates and a corridor with air shower function, which can remove dust and most harmful substances on clothes, and can spray acid to kill when necessary.
This kind of facility is usually located at the entrance of the shelter. It appears on the B3 floor?
Xiao Qi, who was following Chu Guang, raised his camera, and his voice was also full of doubt.
”Maybe… there is more than one entrance to Shelter 404?”
Chu Guang touched his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded gently.
”It’s possible.”
Xia Yan looked at him and said nervously.
”Do you want to go over and take a look?”
”Of course, otherwise why would I come down here?”
However, before that, Chu Guang had something else to do.
As he spoke, Chu Guang turned on the VM on his arm and retrieved the pre-edited document
[Alpha 0.9 Version Update Announcement]
”Alpha 0.9 Version Developer Log”
One-click double-click, click send!
Upload completed!
After doing this, Chu Guang then looked at Xiao Qi.
”Xiao Qi, sync to the official website for me.”
The signal light above his head flickered slightly, and Xiao Qi said with full enthusiasm.
”Okay! Master!”
The two of them, one machine, walked towards the depths of the B3 floor.
Almost at the same time, the official website of “Wasteland OL” in another world instantly boiled with the release of the update announcement!

(Ahem, old rules… before 11 o’clock.)
