Chapter 29: Life in the Wasteland Begins with Moving Bricks

  Chapter 29: Life in the Wasteland Starts with Moving Bricks

  From the moment he opened his mouth, all the players shut up and stared at him with bated breath, fearing that they would miss any details.

  Chu Guang was very satisfied with the players’ reactions and looked around the hall.

  However, when he saw the lizard man standing in the corner, his expression froze for two seconds, and his hand almost touched the gun on his back.

  Why is there an alien here? ? ?

  However…

  looking at this silly expression, it should be a player under this skin.

  There is nothing to worry about.

  Whether it is combat experience or panel data, these newbies are crushed by him in all aspects. Chu Guang may be worried about the survivors lurking in the shadows, but he is not really afraid of these players making trouble.

  Kick people, ban accounts, confiscate qualifications, it takes less than a second, what can you do with this second?

  Deciding to wait a while before studying the situation of this lizard man, Chu Guang moved his eyes away from it, looked at the players in the hall, and continued.

  ”First of all, I have to tell you a good news. The war is over.”

  ”But the bad news is that our world has changed beyond all recognition. If you expect to pack your luggage and go home to your mother right away, it is obviously unlikely.”

  ”It is now the 200th year after the apocalypse. Fortunately, we have successfully survived the most difficult years. You are already luckier than 12 billion people to be able to stand here. Now I need you to recognize the current situation as soon as possible, and then fulfill your declaration under the banner of the Human Union – rebuild our home!”

  ”The one next to you is my assistant. Its name is Xiaoqi. If you have any questions about the shelter or don’t understand something, you can ask it.”

  He said the routine opening remarks once, word for word.

  When the next batch of players arrives, he will say it again. If there are no serious bugs or plot loopholes, he will not change it.

  After all, it was not easy to write it.

  After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

  ”In addition, the Shelter Residents’ Handbook has been updated to version 2.0, which includes the residents’ convention, code of conduct, and requirements for public order and good customs and prohibited matters. Please check it in time.”

  ”For residents who violate the regulations, the punishments range from forced hibernation and confinement to deportation to permanent expulsion. I hope everyone will strictly abide by it.”

  There was a commotion among the player community.

  Is the power of this NPC too much?

  However, everyone did not have a particularly big reaction to this.

  Since they chose to make an appointment, it means that they have accepted the settings of the game.

  Before logging into the game, they had read the “Residents’ Handbook” on the official website, and there were no very harsh provisions on it.

  The newly added clauses only restrict behaviors such as “PK between players”, “harassment of other players”, “unfair transactions”, and “malicious destruction of in-game facilities”.

  These clauses are in line with the interests of the vast majority of “normal” players, and some of them are even discussed by the players themselves in the forum and added after being adopted by the dog planner.

  For example, “malicious destruction of in-game facilities” proposed by Lai Ri Fang Chang and Lao Bai, and “prohibition of forced sexual behavior” proposed by a player who has not yet obtained the qualification for reservation in the discussion post.

  These suggestions are all good.

  After all, this is a brick-moving game, not a nuclear bomb simulator, let alone a small yellow oil.

  Even if it is a game that boasts freedom and sandbox concepts, it is impossible to allow a player to wantonly destroy the gaming experience of other players.

  Not only did Chu Guang adopt these suggestions, he also made more detailed regulations for these rules.

  For example, malicious destruction of facilities will be punished with “forced labor”, and certain behaviors will be divided into “permanent confiscation of crime tools” or even “permanent ban” according to the circumstances.

  Very Ginkgo.

  What?

  Can’t accept it?

  Go back to play CF and give the helmet to those who need it.

  After explaining the matters that need attention, Chu Guang took 24 players out of the shelter and took the elevator to the surface in two batches.

  The oncoming visual impact shocked these new players speechless.

  It’s not even just vision.

  Hearing, smell, touch and even taste, every cell in the body is telling them that this is a completely real world!

  ”Too strong…”

  ”Is this…really a game world?”

  ”Oh, I’m so excited!”

  ”Awesome!!!”

  Looking at the players who were so excited that they were dancing with joy, Chu Guang’s mouth curled up a little.

  I really want to tell them that it’s too early to be happy now.

  …

  After taking these new players to familiarize themselves with the facilities of the outpost, especially emphasizing that they were forbidden to urinate and defecate anywhere near the outpost, Chu Guang then took them all back to the sanatorium and handed them over to Lao Bai and the others who had been waiting for a long time.

  The construction site of the outpost is in need of people, so there is no need to worry about these players having nothing to do. The old players will tell them what to do.

  Some people were called to move bricks and repair walls.

  Another part was led by Fang Chang to the construction site in the northeast of the wetland park to move raw materials for burning cement.

  As for the reward.

  It is 10 contribution points per hour.

  Although it is not clear what the contribution points are used for, the players are all very motivated and can’t wait to start working immediately. Why

  bother so much during the closed beta stage.

  The developer has said that the game will not be deleted, so just do it!

  The players’ enthusiasm and courage made Chu Guang a little embarrassed.

  Of course, not all players were assigned to the construction site. Making bacon, tanning fur, fishing, hunting, and gathering all require people to do.

  For example, the female player with a height of 1.8 meters and an ID called [Crow] was assigned to the gathering work.

  Her gene sequence is the perception system. Although the initial value of the main attribute (perception) is 1 point lower than Ye Shi, only 6, her talent column has an additional initial talent – “Toxin Intuition”.

  According to the system’s explanation of this talent in the player list, players with this talent can perceive toxicity without knowledge and experience, relying solely on biological instinct.

  In contrast, before obtaining “toxin resistance”, the “poisoning effect” itself will have more negative effects on her.

  In addition, the positive gain effect of this talent is affected by the perception attribute.

  It was the perfect choice for her to be the collector. Besides

  , there was also the lizard man.

  After arranging the work of the collector, Chu Guang called the player aside.

  ”Are you the garbage collector level 99?”

  What a stupid name!

  Seeing that the administrator was talking to him, Garbage Man thought that a hidden plot had been triggered, and he stood up straight and nodded excitedly.

  ”That’s me!”

  Chu Guang nodded, and was about to arrange his work, but he saw that Garbage Man suddenly seemed to have thought of something and took the initiative to hand over a note.

  ”Dear administrator, I found this note when I woke up, and I can’t understand the words on it. Can you tell me what’s written on it?”

  ”Let me see.”

  Chu Guang took the note from him.

  The note was a little wet, as if it had been soaked in water, but it was not soaked, and it seemed to be waterproof.

  The notes on it looked familiar, and they were written in the words of this world. Chu Guang immediately guessed who left this thing.

  ”Where did you get it from?”

  ”On my butt.”

  Chu Guang’s hand shook and he almost dropped it.

  Seeing that the administrator was in a state of dismay, Jun Lazi immediately guessed something and hurriedly explained with a smile.

  ”I mean, it was in the incubator. When I woke up, it was stuck there.”

  ”No problem, I just asked casually.”

  Chu Guang continued to look at the contents of the note.

  [Congratulations, you won the prize! This is the Easter egg I left for you! The gene sequences stored in the gene bank are not all human genes, there are also a small number of special gene sequences. To be honest, I did it. Although there are also unexpected elements, I don’t intend to admit my mistake. What should I say? Don’t you think this is also part of natural selection? ]

  [Speaking of which, should we call it a special body or a different species? Forget it, it doesn’t matter what it is called, you decide. ]

  [——The first generation administrator. ]

  This guy must be crazy.

  Chu Guang was speechless.

  He was too lazy to complain about the dead, so he opened the system interface and confirmed the five-dimensional data and talents of the lizard man in front of him through the player list.

  Just like this guy’s tall and sturdy physique, his strength and physique are incredibly strong. If he hadn’t taken an injection, his strength would have even caught up with his LV5 self.

  And he also has two talents, flesh regeneration and cold blood, which is simply a practical weapon!

  Although it has the debuffs of being difficult to upgrade, uncomfortable with low temperatures, and difficult to operate complex machinery, it is not a fatal flaw.

  In a word, it’s not a big problem.

  Chu Guang is already thinking about whether to install a boxing glove or steel claws on this guy.

  Or it seems good to make it into a tin can as the front row?

  Being looked at by the manager with a scrutinizing look, [Garbage Picker Level 99] always felt a little hairy in his heart.

  However, this NPC did not stare at him for too long, and soon gave him a task different from other players.

  ”From today on, you will hunt with me.”

  Chu Guang decided not to worry about the weapons.

  These players are not necessarily dumber than himself, so it is better to let them study the gameplay themselves.

  Garbage Jun clenched his fists excitedly and said excitedly in a high voice.

  ”At your service! Respected Administrator!”

  ”Very good, very impressive.”

  Chu Guang nodded in approval, and continued to talk as he looked at him.

  ”Wait for me at the entrance of the sanatorium first.”

  ”I have some things to arrange, I’ll be here in a while.”

  ”As you wish!”

  Jun Laji left happily.

  Chu Guang continued to look at another female player who was waiting anxiously on the side.

  Her ID was Teng Teng, and her gene sequence belonged to the intelligence system. She looked a little petite, and was about 1.5 meters tall.

  Gene expression is inherently unstable, and even if the design is perfect, there will inevitably be omissions. Chu Guang can’t help it.

  However, what happened to her was not all bad.

  Like that crow, she had a very special initial talent “Dexterity” in her talent column.

  [Talent: Dexterity (stronger muscle memory, faster accumulation of proficiency in repetitive work)]

  If I remember correctly, her real-life occupation seems to be a fashion designer?

  If it is true, then this talent is simply tailor-made for her.

  ”Can you make clothes?”

  Facing the administrator’s question, Teng Teng nodded nervously.

  ”Yes! If I have the materials and tools… I can give it a try.”

  Although her main job is design, and she mainly works on the computer, she is not completely without hands-on ability, and is much better than the average person.

  ”Materials are not a problem, but I may have to think of a way to get the tools… Come with me first.”

  As he said that, Chu Guang took her to the backyard of the sanatorium and pointed to the rows of rough fur materials hanging on the wooden racks.

  ”Are these enough?”

  Looking at the rows of furs on the wooden racks, Teng Teng’s eyes widened.

  Although she was not sure what animals these furs were from, the texture and luster of the furs were obviously not cheap.

  ”These…are all mine?” Teng Teng’s eyes sparkled.

  Chu Guang nodded and said.

  ”Well, if possible, you can also start by taking charge of the fur processing. These leathers on the shelf are processed by our chef, and he doesn’t really know much about it.”

  ”Yeah! Don’t worry! Leave it to me,” Teng Teng said excitedly, nodding vigorously, “Any requirements? In terms of styling?”

  Chu Guang: “I don’t have any requirements for the styling, as long as it can keep warm… Do you have any tools you need? Things like sewing machines may be a little difficult to deal with, but there are some basic tools such as needles, thread, and scissors.”

  Teng Teng: “Although it would be better to have a sewing machine, if the requirement is just to keep warm… these are enough!”

  Not bad!

  He likes players who are diligent and do less work.

  Chu Guang nodded approvingly.

  ”Then I’ll leave it to you.”

  ”I should be able to get some prey in the next few days… I plan to walk north along the elevated road out of the city. I heard that there are migrating deer there.”

  ”If you’re lucky, you should be able to gain a lot!”
