Chapter 236: Tamer gameplay! Has the intelligence system been strengthened again?
Chapter 236 Tamer Gameplay! Intelligence has been strengthened again?
Just as Chu Guang was busy counting his spoils, the official forum of Wasteland OL was very lively.
It had been silent for a whole winter.
The chaos from the north has been invading the southern border of the River Valley Province.
And today, a hearty epic victory instantly dispelled all the dark clouds!
[Announcement for the whole server: Operation “Spring Thunder” has won]
[The battle report has been announced and sent to the player’s personal mailbox and the VM in the game at the same time. ]
[Due to the large amount of supplies seized in the battle, the food supply has returned to normal. The “Wartime Regulations” ended ahead of schedule, and the restricted resource items were reopened for purchase. All players who participated in the battle, in addition to contribution points and regional reputation, will receive an additional +5 favorability of NPCs such as Guo Niu, Guo Ma, Luca, and Wrench. ]
[New facilities added to Changjiu Farm: two 100mm howitzers. ]
[Guang: Thank you for your active participation. This battle provided us with valuable data. The production of Apha1.0 version has entered the final stage and will be launched together with the new expansion pack, so stay tuned! 】
Tail: “Oh!!”
Quit Smoking: “Mosquito is awesome! Of course, the planner is awesome too!”
Fang Chang: “Too strong, no, it should be said that it is too cruel!”
Night Ten: “Mosquito said with tears in his eyes, eight versions, from bloody hands to chewing bones, he finally became MVP. (Funny)”
WC really has mosquitoes: “Goblin Technology now launches new products! 88mm mortar! And ‘Hell Breath’ diesel-powered motorcycle! 15 kilograms of wood consumed per 100 kilometers, very useful!”
Irena: “There is an advertisement here, please block it. (Funny)”
Yaer I want to go to the toilet: “Damn, am I not awesome? I blew up 7 vehicles! And scared one to death!”
Edge paddling: “Our team blew up a tank. (Squinting smile)”
Canyon Fleeing Mole: “Our team killed the centurion!”
Midnight Killing Chicken: “I 20 Heads.”
Fountain Commander: “What’s the use? The head points are not high! Do you two add up to our team points?”
Teng Teng: “Everyone is very good, don’t quarrel. QAQ”
Ye Shi: “You don’t understand, this is their way of bragging. (Funny)”
Ya Ya: “When I have enough power armor, I will go to the front with you!”
I am the darkest: “You are more cowardly than the fountain. (Shocked)”
Fountain Commander: “How can I cowardly! (Angry)”
Not only the players are happy, but also the tens of thousands of cloud players who are queuing.
A two-minute video and twenty original paintings and game CGs.
And it is actually shot for demonstration!
Isn’t this much better than the cake drawn by EA?!
Riding a donkey to go to the market: “Alas, if the actual game screen can be half of the promotional PV, I will die without regrets.”
Irena: “The closed beta player tells you responsibly that the promotional PV is only half of the actual game screen. (Funny)”
Only Mo Bu Ganna can’t do that: “Please don’t test it, it’s already complete, I want to play a semi-finished product, begging for a chance to be a tool man.”
Silver Hand: “Is the production team short of money? Consider crowdfunding?”
Silver Sword: “Does it need venture capital?”
Professor Yang, the King of Thunder and Lightning: “Such an awesome technology is recommended to be listed directly.”
A bag of rice is carried on several floors: “By the way, won’t it be okay if the actual game screen is so exciting?”
Siberian Potato: “That’s right, what if I have a heart attack?”
Kuangfeng: “I heard that this helmet seems to use dream imaging technology, which is completely different from traditional visual imaging technology. Simply put, the pictures you see in the game are probably the same as what you dream about when you are dreaming, and there will not be too obvious sensory stimulation in places that exceed your tolerance. This stimulation includes pain and various physiological levels… Although I checked I did not find the literature for a long time, but they did it.
Too much strong , you can feel that
the NPC
inside is alive, they have their own unique moral outlook and joy. There is no game that can make 7 billion people like, even if it is
a
local
owner
.
But it’s normal.
Even if it’s a pet, it’s impossible to be in good condition every day.
After counting the spoils, Chu Guang took a look at the forum and found that 90% of the posts in the gossip section were discussing the two-minute PV.
From the launch of rockets to the charge under the whistle, the camera switched between the perspectives of the drone and the players, and the shocking light and shadow effects were like a real battlefield.
For the more exciting scenes, the drone controlled by Xiao Qi gave a few close-ups.
For example, the awakened power player carried a machine gun like Rambo and shot out from the billowing smoke.
For another example, on the charging crawler, the machine gun fired a burst of fire to harvest the armored pickup truck of the predator.
By the way.
The video was edited by Xiao Qi according to the style of Chu Guang’s last promotional PV.
As for the BGM, it was also copied from the radio.
Although “The Voice of Boulder City” talks nonsense for 20 hours a day, it occasionally inserts some useful information and good music in the nonsense.
At present, the BGM has been added to the official soundtrack, which can be listened to online or downloaded and saved. It has been well received by many netizens, who have expressed their desire to know who the composer is.
However.
What does this have to do with planning?
A Guang is just a small game planner. You should go find the music director.
…
The next day.
Before the sun rose completely, more than 200 prisoners of war lined up in a long queue at the gate of Changjiu Farm.
They were wearing dirty old fur clothes, with shackles on their ankles, and their faces were either depressed or terrified.
Or numb and desperate.
Two tracked trucks with machine guns welded on the roof drove beside the team.
In addition, there were 20 guards with arbitrator rifles on their backs and PU-9 submachine guns hanging around their waists standing around the team.
Walking in front of the team, a guard with a beard and an old look, looked around at the prisoners and spoke in a loud voice.
”The crimes you committed in the Valley Province are enough to get you hanged ten times.”
”But the merciful administrator believes that killing prisoners of war is an unjust act and your blood will stain this land, so you are spared.”
”You will go to the labor camp, where you will be reformed by labor, reclaim the wasteland north of Linghu Lake, build irrigation canals, and do anything useful to this society… until you pay for your crimes with labor.” ”
Fifty years in prison is a long time, but you can get a reduction in sentence if you behave well.”
”Now, let’s go.”
Fifty years.
Most people can’t live that long.
In the wasteland, forty years old is considered a long life.
Only residents living in shelters or some wealthy survivor settlements can live longer.
But the phrase “good performance can reduce the sentence” still brought a little comfort to many people who were already desperate, or the motivation to live.
Even if no one told them what the criteria for reducing the sentence were and how much it could be reduced.
The team started on the road.
They needed to cut enough wood before dark to build the prisoner-of-war camp.
Otherwise, we will have to sleep in the snow tonight.
Vides and Kevin stood by the road, staring blankly at the team that was setting off.
The two of them who were assigned to the team had already given up hope for their future lives.
But unexpectedly, they were just assigned to the team and were driven out by a guard with a gun.
Kevin asked nervously in a low voice.
”What do they want to do?”
”I don’t know…” Just as Vides said it, he suddenly saw a familiar face walking towards them.
The moment he saw the man, Vides’ expression was stunned at first, and then a trace of surprise appeared on his face.
”Vanus?”
Vanus’s face was a little emotional.
”I didn’t expect to see you here.”
The two graduated from the same military academy and knew each other when they were students.
After graduation, Vanus went directly to the front line as a centurion because of his excellent grades and outstanding performance in the academy, serving as a grassroots officer, while Vides joined the Youth Corps and started his military career as a recruit.
Due to the army’s eastward strategy, the two joined the expeditionary force and fought against the people of the Great Rift Valley under the command of General Kras. Later, the unit where Vides was located suffered a disastrous defeat and his whereabouts were unknown. Vanus thought that this guy was dead, but he was still alive.
What he didn’t expect was that the reunion of the two was in such a dramatic form.
After listening to Vanus’s events in the past few months, Vides smiled bitterly.
”No wonder… you are here. It seems that the idiot Black Snake didn’t lose unfairly.”
These people not only successfully predicted their plans strategically, but also accurately avoided their vanguards tactically, ambushed and attacked their rear in unexpected places, creating incredible results.
Even if he lost, Vides couldn’t help but exclaimed that it was amazing.
However, after seeing Vanus, he was relieved.
Everyone graduated from the same classroom, and even taught by the same teacher.
He knows all the tactics that he knows, and he can basically think of what he can think of. This battle is indeed difficult to fight.
Vanus: “I didn’t command this battle, and I didn’t defeat you. I just made some suggestions on deployment. But you’re right. You deserved to lose. Six hundred-man teams were sent ahead to explore the way, and the supply convoy followed the armored troops. And the battle line was stretched so long… What on earth were you thinking?”
Seeing Vanus looking at him strangely, Vides said angrily.
”Do you think I want this?”
”I risked being thrown into the frying pan and reminded that idiot more than once that winter march was a wrong decision, but no one listened to me.”
Kevin, who was standing aside, also nodded and said with a constipated expression.
”It’s not just this that’s outrageous. We learned about the plan to march into Qingquan City in the early morning of the 1st, and before we asked what the plan was, the vanguard had already set off. During this period, we didn’t hold a combat meeting. The black snake seemed to pat his head and decided to all in. Even the route was decided after the supplies were packed.”
The main force left at noon on the 1st, the war ended in the evening of the 2nd, and the construction of the prisoner-of-war camp began on the 3rd. A shed should be built before tonight.
Kevin has never fought such a frustrating battle.
He would rather die on the northern front.
At least he lost to a strong opponent, and his death would be more decent.
After listening to the deeds of the two, Vanus couldn’t help but show a trace of sympathy on his face.
He tried to put himself in the position of the two and found that this battle was indeed impossible to fight.
With such a stupid commander, even if he was replaced as a staff officer, the final result would probably be the same.
”I roughly understand the situation… but how did you two get into the tribe of predators?”
Vides and Kevin looked at each other and shook their heads.
”I don’t know. We met those predators when we were retreating south. Our leader decided to join them, so we joined them.”
Kevin continued.
”I heard… they seem to be planning to establish a predator country in the River Valley Province, and I don’t know about other things.”
Predator country?
What is that?
A huge tribe?
Vanus couldn’t imagine what kind of strange picture that was, let alone how they planned to achieve it. This plan sounded outrageous enough.
”Speaking of you?” Vides looked at Vanus and continued to ask, “Are you their staff officer now? Or?”
Vanus was stunned and said.
”Me? I am also their prisoner, but they allow me to train new soldiers for them instead of paying the ransom.”
Vides looked at him eagerly.
”Ransom? How much?”
Vanus said with an ambiguous expression.
”One million dinars, and that was the price last year. I don’t know how much it is now. I advise you to give up.”
The two of them took a deep breath.
One million!
Even if they sold all their property, they couldn’t raise so much money!
”…Is the job of training new soldiers still recruiting?”
”Brother, help us.”
Facing the two pairs of pleading eyes, Vanus said awkwardly.
”I’ll ask for you…but I can’t guarantee it. I can only say I’ll try my best.”
Vides said excitedly.
”Thank you!”
Vanus said in a tone of advice.
”Those blue coats didn’t send you to the labor camp. They must have something to ask you. You should cooperate well and tell them everything you know. Don’t hide it or make up stories. They won’t make it too difficult for you.”
The two said immediately.
”Don’t worry!”
”We will definitely tell you everything we know!”
Vanus nodded with confidence.
”That’s good.”
Cooperate well, have a correct attitude, and repent sincerely. Even if you still have to accept labor reform in the end, the place you go will be better.
After all, the probability of survival is completely different between playing in the mud in a brick factory and digging potatoes in the snow.
If you do the former well, you will have a chance to eat meat.
The latter is a life-threatening job…
…
The next morning.
At the entrance of the weapon store.
A circle of players surrounded it.
Looking at the empty shelves, everyone sighed and howled.
”Oh my god, I’m just one step late!”
”Gan! It’s sold out!”
In the battle yesterday, not only 32 players were upgraded to LV10, but 57 players finally accumulated more than 10,000 contribution points and gloriously upgraded to intermediate citizens.
And the average income per person was more than 400 silver, and the highest was even 600 silver!
For them, whose average daily income was only 10 silver coins a few months ago, this is simply a huge sum of money!
The conditions for purchasing the Miner Type I exoskeleton are LV10 and intermediate citizen, and the price has not changed, it has always been 2000 silver.
However, there are only 8 sets of equipment on the shelf.
Almost at the moment when the campaign rewards were settled, these 8 exoskeletons were snapped up in an instant.
At this moment, everyone finally realized that giving too much mission rewards may not be all good.
It is foreseeable that the price of ramen tonight will definitely increase…
Looking at the people who were furious, the battlefield atmosphere team smiled and put on the orange-painted exoskeleton, clenched their fists, and moved their limbs.
”Is this the power of technology? It’s really good.”
When he listened to everyone’s discussion yesterday, he guessed that this situation might happen.
So, he went online before dawn in the game, and people were already queuing at the door before the weapon shop opened.
The campaign rewards had just been settled, and with the reward of nearly 600 silver coins, his deposit just exceeded 2000 silver coins, so he decisively bought the “Miner Type I” exoskeleton.
As it turned out, this was an extremely wise decision.
Looking at those little players who kept regretting not coming earlier, he finally felt the feeling of the Fountain Brother.
This feeling is really great!
Edge Swipe glanced at him.
”Tsk, I don’t use this thing.”
The Battlefield Atmosphere Group laughed.
”Brother, if you envy me, just say it directly, don’t beat around the bush. Want to play? I’ll wear it for you for a while.” Edge Swipe: “I envy you for nothing.
Wearing this thing will directly increase the cost of resurrection to 2,000. If your equipment explodes once, you will be back to the pre-liberation era.”
Even if you wear an exoskeleton, even if you install a steel plate, it’s just a few more rounds of bullets.
Why bother?
Isn’t it better not to get shot?
Wearing this thing will make you more likely to become the target of concentrated fire. No matter how thick the steel plate is, it is impossible to withstand a bullet with a penetration depth of hundreds like a power armor.
Cheap and easy-to-use equipment is good equipment, so he is too lazy to deal with this fancy stuff.
Of course, part of the reason is that he didn’t buy it.
”Fuck…”
After hearing what the edge guy said, the battlefield atmosphere group was stunned.
Looking at the equipment on his body, he instantly felt that it was not so attractive.
How can you charge with this thing?
You will be heartbroken if you die once!
Although many people regret buying it, for those players who didn’t buy it, those brothers who were quick to buy it are still very enviable.
It’s a pity that the equipment is bound and can’t be bought from other players.
But then again, even if it can be traded, no one will sell it.
The silver coins in the pockets of those who can afford it are almost the same. Except for a few local tyrants, it is impossible to offer too outrageous prices.
As for using RMB over-the-counter transactions…
Not to mention that the official has clearly stated that the security of the transaction is not guaranteed, and the consequences of being cheated are at your own risk. Even if there is a third-party guarantee, this thing cannot be priced.
How should the equipment in the closed beta stage be priced?
100,000?
1 million?
Maybe when the public beta is launched, the god equipment will become a blank in seconds, and it will be directly cracked on the spot.
Why is the closed beta called a closed beta? Isn’t it because the game rules are not perfect yet?
No fees and no deletion of files. Compared to those games that charge money but still treat players like monkeys, this game is already very conscientious!
However, this does not prevent players who did not buy equipment from being angry.
”MMP, can the planner fix the bug that the NPC store does not restock? When will this bug be fixed?”
”When will the caravan come again? The blizzard has stopped!”
”I secretly asked the planner, and the planner told me to get out, and told me that if I want the equipment, I have to fight myself.”
”I testify that this is definitely not what Brother Guang said. With Brother Guang’s high emotional intelligence, he will definitely not let you go. At most, he will play dumb with you and pass the ball to the art or R&D department.”
”I feel the pain of having money but nowhere to spend it.”
”By the way, there seems to be an exoskeleton over there!”
”Type 5 ‘Light Cavalry’ exoskeleton, damn, it looks so cool!” ”
The price… 20,000?! Let’s go.”
”Fuck! You still want senior citizens! 50,000 contribution points!? I just reached the intermediate level!”
”It seems that the power armor needs 100,000 contribution points to upgrade to ‘Knight’. This is very reasonable, manual ridiculous.”
There is no level requirement for equipment in “Wasteland OL”. As long as the attributes can be controlled, you can use it. If you can’t control it, you can force it to use it.
However, some rare equipment that is replenished at random requires contribution points if you want to buy it.
To explain it in the game setting, these are important assets of the shelter. They cannot be obtained stably and are scarce. They can only be supplied to residents who have made outstanding contributions to the collective.
In front of the counter.
Xia Yan, with her arms folded, looked at the group of dejected players expressionlessly, and patiently repeated her lines over and over again.
”Sold out, sold out, don’t ask anymore.”
”Wait until the next caravan comes.”
The only thing that made the players feel relieved was that Boss Xia’s Mandarin was becoming more and more standard.
At this moment, Heya, with long silver hair, came from the direction of the sanatorium holding a wooden frame.
After placing the wooden frame on the counter of the weapon shop, Heya said something to Boss Xia. Boss
Xia nodded as if he understood, then took out a pen from the table, found a wooden board, and quickly wrote a line of words, and then hung it on the shelf.
[“Torch” Mind Interference Device]
Then, Boss Xia picked out a headset-like thing from the wooden frame and placed it on the shelf.
At the same time.
The encyclopedia page of the player VM also updated the description of the prop.
[Effect: Through simple surgical operations, low-level mental aliens can be made to obey orders. Applicable to Death Claws, Mutated Brown Bears, etc., not applicable to mindless life forms (such as slime mold species)】
【Requirements: Contribution level reaches citizen, intelligence attribute greater than 10. 】
【Price: 2000 silver coins (excluding surgery fee)】
After reading the instructions.
The atmosphere around the weapon store instantly boiled.
