Chapter Twenty-Three: Xiao Lei's First Pot of Gold

This time, when Qi Lin went offline, Xiao Lei was not playing, he was sitting cross-legged on his own board bed, and he was biting a piece of "high-imitation jerky" synthesized from soy protein.

While gobbling it up, he also picked up a bottle of water and poured it vigorously, and it was really talented that this kid was not choked.

"How long have you been playing on a streak?" Qi Lin asked with some pain, looking at Xiao Lei's bloodshot eyes and the appearance of being hungry for a long time, he guessed that this was the first time that Xiao Lei went offline after the game was launched.

The nutrient injection can provide the necessary energy for the human body, but it cannot fill the empty stomach, and Qi Lin also felt a little hungry when he first quit the game.

"It's been less than ten minutes......" Thunder said slurred as he swallowed his food.

"How's the mix, how many repechage chances are left?"

"I've never died, I've been hunting in the valley for the past two days."

"Glen?" Qi Lin was stunned, what kind of place is this.

Xiao Lei continued: "A shady valley with a lot of low-level zombies in it, and the valley is the name I gave it. ”

I have to say that Xiao Lei's luck is quite explosive among countless wasteland players, just entering the game, there is an abandoned hunter's hut near the spawn point, which also has a full set of hunting tools, a box of canned food that is expired but can still be eaten, no radiation contamination, and a notebook that records the hunting experience.

As soon as Xiao Lei finished reading the notebook, the brain system prompted him to obtain the [Hunting Mastery] skill, and at the same time that the system prompt sounded, Xiao Lei instantly felt a flash of inspiration in his head, and immediately understood the specific use of those hunting tools in the hut and how to master the knowledge of tracking prey and setting traps.

Passive skills still have this feature? Qi Lin was a little surprised, according to what Xiao Lei said, this should belong to information indoctrination, a new learning method developed not long before the war, which can directly instill some knowledge into the human brain - but this method has a drawback, if the indoctrination is relatively fragile, and the indoctrination information is too large and complex, it is likely to cause the indoctrination of the brain to be unable to bear it, and directly become a fool.

No wonder nothing happened after he learned to be proficient in firearms, daggers, driving, and first aid, Qi Lin originally had those "skills" in reality, and Zhi Brain naturally wouldn't go to him to instill it again.

The valley originally seemed to be a wild refugee camp, but for some special reasons, the humans in the entire refugee camp have become mindless zombies, wandering the valley all day long.

"The residual radiation concentration in the valley is very low, could it be an infected zombie the day after tomorrow?" According to Xiao Lei's description, Qi Lin made a guess.

In addition to normal humans or corpses that have died recently from radiation, there are also acquired infections.

The body fluids of the living dead have extremely high concentrations of radiation and a special virus, but like the bone spurs of the bones, the radiation in the living organism is not the same as the radiation in the environment, it does not spread, and only direct contact will affect it.

Just like the setting in a series of movies called "Resident Evil" in the old era, if a normal person is bitten or scratched by a zombie, causing the body fluids of the zombie to enter the body, if it is not treated in time, it will soon become the same kind of zombie - of course, according to the technological level of the old era, there was no means to treat these infected people at that time, and the best way to deal with it was to blow his head out before the other party mutated.

Although I can't be sure why there are so many zombies in the valley, these zombies have brought a lot of benefits to Xiao Lei.

Through the trap, Xiao Lei has been hunting zombies for almost the past two days, although these zombies are the lowest-level carrion corpses, but if they kill a lot, there will still be a few heads that drop some white or green quality [carrion serum].

The function of the carrion serum is similar to that of the corpse king serum and the bone nightmare serum, they are all the same kind of items, but the efficacy and probability are worlds apart, if the average player dares to inject this kind of thing directly, the biggest possibility is to be directly infected, and then waste a chance to resurrect.

According to the information on the bounty quest platform and the chat content on the world radio channel, the role of the serum of high-level mutant creatures, as well as the evolutionary, is no longer a secret among players, and the purchase price of a tube of mutant serum that has reached blue quality has reached 1,000 resource points, and as for the purple one, it is in a state of no market.

The lowest white and green serums are too frustrating and risky to inject, so there is little market for them, but this really doesn't affect their second function.

"It can be exchanged for resource points by researchers at the Academy of Sciences."

In the Wasteland Survival Code, the underground shelter still exists, but it will not be open to players for the time being, and as for sending the serum to the researchers, it is very simple, each player's miniature brain terminal has a small teleportation device, which can be used to deliver mutant serum and some specific quest items.

It's just that this teleporter has great limitations, and it can only be transmitted to NPCs in one direction, and NPCs still need players to go to a designated place to collect physical items, and players can't use this teleportation device between players.

Using this teleportation device, Xiao Lei handed over a total of 31 white quality carrion serum and two green quality high-grade carrion serum in the past two days, according to the official purchase price of 6 resource points for one white and 50 resource points for green, Xiao Lei earned 286 resource points in the game in the past two days.

No wonder Xiao Lei has been refusing to go offline, this speed of making money is really terrifying.

"Before the valley was discovered by other players, I had to earn more points, and I heard from others that now a gun in the game is more expensive than in reality."

After Xiao Lei hastily finished eating, he planned to enter the game cabin again, but was stopped by Qi Lin.

"Xiao Lei, do you know what a famous saying in the old days is?"

"What?"

"There is a life to earn, but there is no life to spend. According to the instructions on the game pod, using it for more than thirty-six hours in a row will cause a great load on the body, and more than forty-eight hours will damage the body, so you should sleep first and not be in such a hurry to hunt some low-level rotting corpses...... In the wasteland, there are more opportunities, so don't just play yourself to death just to farm some monsters in the novice village. ”

Listening to Qi Lin's words, Xiao Lei muttered a little depressedly, but he still turned off the power of the game cabin, obediently climbed back to the bed, and then grabbed an electronic clock assembled by Qi Lin on the bedside, and set an alarm clock for six hours.

It may be that he is really tired, and Xiao Lei himself didn't feel it when he was on the head just now, but now as soon as he touched the pillow, it didn't take long for a thick sleepiness to hit him.

Seeing that Xiao Lei almost fell asleep in seconds, Qi Lin smiled, in the past six months, he almost regarded this young man as his own brother.

When he was a mercenary, there was also a child in the team who was about the same age as Xiao Lei, who was born in a poor and backward country in North Africa, and was forced to embark on the road of no return to mercenaries for his livelihood.

Child soldiers, a problem that has been condemned by all sectors of society for decades, have existed cruelly and realistically until the end of the old era.

Adam, Qi Lin still remembers the child's name. Adam's marksmanship is average, but he has a unique skill, throwing a grenade that is called accurate, once at a distance of 30 meters, throwing an M67 into the shooting hole of an enemy armored car, this kind of scene, can only be seen in the anti-Japanese drama decades ago.

In addition to this, Adam loves to draw, has a sweet tooth, and loves to watch cartoons...... Except for everything related to the war, he was no different from an ordinary child.

However, during a seemingly uneventful mission, Adam accidentally stepped on a mine buried in the grass - a scene that Qi Lin and his teammates still remember: scattered dirt and flesh, and a swarthy, skinny broken leg.

Since then, the mercenary group that Qi Lin is in has never allowed any underage mercenaries to join, even if it is a collaborative mission.

……

At the end of the memory, Qi Lin casually stuffed a little biscuit and put on a breathing mask, he planned to go out today to find out if he could get an ownerless game pod for Jane, the rules of the "Wasteland Survival Code" are very strange, as long as it is not a loser who has used up the number of resurrections, no matter what the identity, the rich, the poor, the wanted criminal and even the rebel can enter the game, and the player's information is also absolutely confidential, and the only thing that can make people recognize the player's real identity is to look at the face.

The range of facial adjustments allowed in the game is no more than 10%, and if you are familiar with it in reality, you can still recognize it after a little more look.

However, Jane was wearing a cloak and hood when she ran away one day, and she didn't even show her face, as long as she was careful, she was still safe now.

After checking the mastermind of the shelter, Qi Lin learned that there were more than a dozen game pods that had been recovered and idle at the slum supply distribution station, and the second time he received the game pod, he needed to fill in a reasonable reason and pay 300 resource points.

"Failure of the cabin thermostat system."

Qi Lin casually made a nonsense and bought an almost brand new game pod from the executor who managed the supply point.

There are rollers under the game cabin, and after opening the locking device, it can be pushed around like a large suitcase, so Qi Lin can easily take it away alone.

Coming to the self-service hotel for Jane, Qi Lin entered the password according to his memory, but the words "password error" were displayed on the small screen.

"Pretty cautious ......"

The door lock inside the self-service hotel can be changed at will, and the door lock outside can be set once at the beginning of the check-in payment, and the door can only be opened if the password is entered.

There was no way, Qi Lin could only knock on the door with his hand.

There is no reaction inside.

Qi Lin was suddenly a little speechless, he knew that the last time he left, he should have set a code with Jianjian, such as "three long and two short" or "open sesame seeds" or something like that......

Qi Lin kept knocking on the door for five minutes before a deep voice came from inside, although the owner of the voice had tried hard to change his voice, but Qi Lin still heard the crisp and moving voice of a girl unique to Jane.

"Who?"

"I, Qi Lin."

With a "click", the door was opened, but Qi Lin looked into the room, but he didn't see the girl.

"Don't hide behind the door, put down the things in your hand, and you will be in trouble if you smash the game pod." Qi Lin said as he walked in with the coffin-like game pod indifferently.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Jane cautiously walked out from behind the door, still holding the coffee pot that Qi Lin brought her last time.

The girl's slender body was covered with a men's shirt that was more than one size bigger, which was also brought by Qi Lin last time, and now it seems that Qi Lin suddenly felt that this girl was wearing this dress, and it was really a little sexy.

"There was a ...... before The executor comes to make rounds...... I ......" the girl snorted, her face flushing slightly.

"It's okay, they all died that day, and even the wanted warrant didn't hang out." Qi Lin said, pushing the game pod all the way to the corner of the room, side by side with the single bed.

"The game has just been launched now, there are many opportunities to make money, find a way to support yourself, in addition, my ID is 9527, if there is something, you can find me in the game."
