Chapter 77 How to Play the New Dungeon
Official Website:
[……]
[5. The content of the B2 layer of Shelter No. 404 will be opened after the “Blood Hand Clan” dungeon is cleared.]
[6. Wasteland Tips: The weather is getting colder, so remember to put on more clothes. In addition, if you see the owner of the weapon shop dozing off, please remember to wake her up to prevent her from catching a cold.]
On that day, at six o’clock in the evening, the official website updated the announcement on time. The comment area below the announcement was quickly occupied by those little players who bought houses on the official website.
Tail: “Throne! (≥ω*)”
Quit Smoking: “First!”
Quit Smoking: “Fuck! My first floor!”
Trash Picker Level 99: “Shit, I thought there was an update!”
Spare Someone: “You were so excited!”
Irene: “By the way, there are some new players joining the game. Which batch of new players will be online tomorrow? (Funny)”
Stop Bullshitting: “The fifth batch! 40 people in total! It’s so cool hahaha, I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep last night. I’ll be able to have fun tomorrow night!”
Macabazi: “Brother, don’t be too happy. Good morning, this game is not just for the liver, I tell you!”
Midnight Killer Chicken: “Strength department, let’s form a team, are there any newcomers who want to chop trees together? Come chop trees, the axe is the eternal god!” ”
Knife Spare People”: “Don’t fight with me! Ha ha ha, the newcomers are mine!” ”
Night Ten”: “Brother Dao! Stay calm, your mature and steady image is broken!”
”Old Man Abin”: “This man is so scary. (Д*)”
Xiao Xiaoxiao Bookworm: “Is this game serious? Is it serious? Nervous.”
The official website is as joyful as ever, full of a happy atmosphere.
Tomorrow is the fourth day of the launch of Alpha 0.4 version, and 40 newcomers will arrive in the game world.
And the population of Shelter No. 404 will also rise to 90 people!
Chu Guang took a look at the number of reservations, which just broke the 800 mark. This time, thanks to the illustrations drawn by a certain mole on the forum, it attracted many passers-by to join in the fun.
Chu Guang clicked on the post and took a look, and found that the painting was actually himself.
Hey, you know what, the drawing is pretty cool.
No, it should be said that it looks like it.
Canyon Runaway Mole: “What else do you want to see? There seem to be only these few NPCs.”
I’m the Darkest: “Books! I want to see books!”
Rainy Night Without Umbrella: “I want! I want Teng Teng and Ya Ya’s books! (Nosebleed)”
Teng Teng: “No, you don’t want to! (#`Д)╰ひ╯”
The Little Match Girl Selling: “Ya Ya and Leech!”
Canyon Runaway Mole: “Fuck, you’re a pervert.”
Chu Guang watched and laughed.
Great, his game is getting more and more lively.
Today, the official website of “Wasteland OL” released an announcement. Although there is no new news about the development progress, but some settings that are gradually released as the game plot progresses, many smart little players still read a lot of important information from it.
Cow and Horse Club Group.
The cow and horse group players headed by Lao Bai and others basically log off and get up on time from one to six o’clock, and their work and rest time is quite similar to that of the living.
Every time after logging off, the first thing these people do when they get up is not to wash their faces or brush their teeth, but to open their mobile phones to brag in the group.
At this moment, the focus of the topic is on the announcement of today’s official website –
Lao Bai: “Fuck, the amount of information in this update is a bit large!”
Quitting: “Good brother, tell me quickly! TT”
Lao Bai: “In a word, a new NPC has been added! A new “power relationship” setting has been added! There are also new NPC “background story” and “personality” settings! If this is put in other games, it would be enough for the dog planner to brag about three versions!”
④Who knows: “It’s a pity that Brother Ye Ao has left the group, otherwise there would be fun now. (grin)”
Ye Shi: “Who knew that his psychological endurance is so poor, I just said that the dog barks again, and he rolled away. (funny)”
Kuangfeng: “Isn’t the point to mute it?”
WC really has mosquitoes: “(funny)”
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: “(eating melon)”
Without Brother Ye Ao, the fun of the cattle and horses has been reduced a lot.
But this guy is now very successful, and has been upgraded from a favorite of the cattle and horses to a favorite of the Wasteland OL forum.
Fang Chang: “Don’t worry about that person, let me talk about my analysis first. Although the official website did not release new content in the form of ‘Alpha 0.5 version’ this time, in fact, this soft update is enough for a version! My guess is that maybe this part of the content does not require new closed beta players? So the official did not update the version number.”
Lao Bai: “That makes sense. Every time the version number is updated, it seems that closed beta qualifications will be issued. The lack of an update to the version number means that the content of this test is actually still within the framework of version 0.4.”
Fang Chang: “Correct! In fact, you should have noticed that the frequency of our communication with NPCs has almost doubled since the last version. First, the caravan visited, and then the nearby natives came to cooperate. Today, a caravan composed of players was organized to go to Brown Farm. Who wants to guess what this means?”
Seeing that no one answered.
Guessing that everyone was listening too seriously, Fang Chang stopped waiting and continued typing.
”This means… a wider world! Think about it, from the perspective of the planner, why do we need to update the setting of ‘force favorability’ at this time?”
Ye Shi: “Uh, I can’t think of it, how about you explain it in detail?”
Fang Chang: “I still remember what Brother Guang said at the beginning, that Wasteland OL is going to create a completely real world! Since it is a real world, the NPC will definitely evaluate the player’s behavior and respond accordingly, right?”
Ye Shi: “It seems to make sense, but what does this have to do with the wider world you mentioned? NPCs originally have a favorability setting.”
Fang Chang: “That’s a big deal! Players are set as members of Shelter 404. There is not only a relationship between players and NPCs, but also an evaluation of the players as a whole by NPCs! For example, if one of our players kills an aboriginal today, the relatives, friends, and neighbors of the aboriginal will not greet us with a smile tomorrow, right? Even if neutrality does not turn into hostility, it will turn into vigilance!”
Ye Shi: “Fuck? You mean, joint liability?”
Kuangfeng: “This is a bit difficult. It’s okay if the circle is small now, but it’s hard to guarantee that everyone is a normal person if the circle is large.”
Fang Chang: “Not really. There are few veterans causing trouble, most of them are newbies. Generally, these newbies have no guns, no money, no attributes, and no skills. If a conflict does happen, they will be beaten by NPCs. It’s better to find the problem early and deal with it early. After working hard for a while, they will develop and the save files will be valuable, so there will be sunk costs. You know what I mean, right?”
Kuangfeng: “That makes sense.”
Ye Shi: “??? What? What do you know?”
Fang Chang: “Newbies causing trouble is a problem for the server operation and maintenance personnel after the internal test, let’s not discuss it here. In short, the opening of the faction favorability system shows that the planners are already consciously guiding the players to consider the issue from the perspective of the overall interests of the shelter. Why do they do this suddenly? It is obviously paving the way for adding a wider range of ‘NPC forces’ to the ‘opening of new maps’!”
Lao Bai: “I agree with Fang Chang’s point of view. I don’t know if you noticed that Article 5 of today’s update announcement mentioned that the B2 floor of the shelter will be opened after the ‘Blood Hand Clan’ dungeon is cleared! What does this mean? It’s obvious that the new map has been preloaded, but it’s not open yet. ”
Ye Shi: “Fuck, is this testing the AI or testing us again?”
Fang Chang: “I think it’s both! After all, games are for people to play. If they want to create a world close to the real world, an open virtual community, then they have to test the behavior of players in this community and adjust the server rules and gameplay. I have to praise the production team. This idea is simply invincible!”
Lao Bai: “Okay, okay, stop bragging. Tell me what you think? What should we do next? Or hunting?”
Fang Chang: “After winter, there are fewer and fewer prey, and the income from hunting is not high. Since the war with the Blood Hand Clan has begun, I guess the administrators will soon increase the bounty on the plunderers, and the next stage of the gameplay can be developed around this.”
Kuangfeng: “That makes sense.”
Ye Shi: “By the way, we bought the land but haven’t started construction yet. When will we build a house?”
WC is really a mosquito: “Yes, yes, I’m waiting to open a studio. (Funny)”
Kuangfeng: “Don’t worry about it. Our efficiency is too low. Why not hire a few people to build it?”
Fang Chang: “I think so too. Let the professional players build the house. We should focus on earning money to upgrade equipment.”
Chu Guang, who hadn’t been on Penguin for a long time, looked at the computer screen with emotion.
It’s worthy of being Brother Fang Chang!
He understands the version better than the planner himself.
”Starting tomorrow, we will increase the bounty for looters.”
”For capturing a hostile target, after confirming that it is a looter, you will get an additional 20 silver coins and 200 tribute coins on top of the original 5 silver coin reward. For bringing back a looter corpse, you will get an additional 10 silver coins and 200 tribute coins on top of the original 5 copper coins reward.”
”If the opponent is a centurion, the additional reward will be doubled!”
”By the way, in order to prevent newcomers from giving away heads, we have to limit the level of bounty missions. Hmm… temporarily set it at LV2, and adjust it later depending on the situation.”
The first-tier players have basically reached LV2 in their gene sequences, and high-level players like Lao Bai who entered the game earlier have even reached LV4.
Being able to reach LV2 means that you have a certain understanding of the game, and the bonus brought by the basic attributes can also prevent players from being at a disadvantage when facing looters.
Of course, the most important thing is that players at this level have savings. With a little more effort, they can afford the cheapest iron barrel rifle in the weapon store.
Chu Guang checks the lockers every day.
In addition, he had Xiao Qi keep a record of every silver coin he sent out. It can be said that Chu Guang knew how much money the players had even better than the players themselves.
In fact, land itself was not expensive, only 10 silver coins per square meter.
At this moment, most players had saved enough money to buy land, but they were just struggling to save up 2,000 contribution points to upgrade citizens.
It was just right, so don’t save it anymore. Those who have money should use it to buy guns. Buying guns to fight bandits can not only make money but also earn contribution.
Once the dungeon is cleared, this opportunity will be gone!
”It depends on the situation. If there are not many people buying tomorrow, let Xia Yan give a 10% discount on the basic guns in the weapon shop.”
Of course, the promotion only includes iron barrel rifles and revolver rifles, but not bullets.
A steel core copper bullet produced by Boulder City is sold at the weapon shop for 1 silver. A rolled copper shell bullet produced by Red River Town is sold for 5 coppers.
If it is a “low-quality” bullet made by the owner of the weapon shop with black gunpowder, it will be slightly cheaper, and you can buy one for 2 coppers.
Too expensive?
Go complain to the boss lady, what does it have to do with me as a manager?
It’s not my store.
Chu Guang’s face was full of smiles.
Finally, he didn’t have to worry about the ammunition of these players.
When the players buy the guns, they can waste the ammunition however they want, since they bought them with their own money anyway.
Xia Yan, who was sitting in the corner reciting a book, shivered suddenly without warning.
Although the air vents were blowing warm air, her back was chilly. She always felt that the man sitting in front of the computer was planning something “evil” again.
The corners of his mouth were raised, and they were hanging on his ears…
