Chapter 178: Your idea is good, I'll consider it when I update it next time
Official Website:
[Alpha 0.81 Update: Added "Expedition Team Mission"]
[Expedition Mission: Vault 404 Expedition Team has been established, and the goal is the remains of pre-war civilization!] As the head of the scientific expedition group, Yin Fang will release "scientific expedition" missions from time to time, place exploration beacons on the map, and give rewards or hidden tasks according to the clues of scientific research types provided by players. γ
[Yin Fang: It's not that I betrayed the academy, but that the academy betrayed me. The error will be corrected, and I will find out what really happened two hundred years ago, and find the last hope of human civilization - that Vault 0! γ
[Tip from Ah Guang: When an NPC is in need, a yellow question mark will appear on his icon on the map, and repeated attempts at meaningless dialogues will not trigger the hidden quest, but will only reduce the NPC's favorability.] In addition, it is not necessary to use a dialog to trigger a task, but it is also possible to receive a task through a VM. γ
Tail: "Throne!" (ο½βΒ΄)Ξ¨β
Quit smoking: "Shocked! Version Alpha 0.81 is out! The planning is awesome! β
Night Ten: "Quit smoking brother, stop, Ah Guang's licking dog is enough to have a square length, your appearance makes me feel very distressed." (Funny)"
Fang Chang: "Fuck off, when did Lao Tzu lick it?" (Angry)"
Fujiten: "β(βββ’βΟββ’ββ)β"
Fang Chang: "? β
Chu Guang, who began to peep at the screen after the announcement, finally couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
He could testify that Elder Brother Fang definitely didn't lick it, at most he just understood himself better. There were a lot of bad ideas in his new folder, but they were all borrowed from him.
After peeking for a while, Chu Guang felt that his eyelids began to fight, and after glancing at the time, it was not early, and he yawned and got up to sleep.
That night.
He had a long, long dream that he was walking by the lake, followed by the guy named Dr. Principle, and followed by a little brother.
Although he didn't see his face clearly, Chu Guang felt that it should be Yin Fang.
And after realizing this, it also made Chu Guang very speechless, why didn't there be a big chest in the dream today?
This dream is very unreasonable.
The lake was covered with fog, the road was long, long, and the lake was as wide as the sea, and the sparkling water had no end in sight.
The moonlight is bright and the air is serene and serene.
After walking for a long time, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"What year is it?"
Chu Guang was about to answer, but Yin Fang, the number one licking dog of Dr. Principle, took the first step to speak.
"It's 2340!"
The Doctor Principle beside him nodded, and suddenly sighed with emotion.
"2340 years, ah......"
"It's been too long."
The dream is gone.
After waking up, Chu Guang calmly turned his back up and blinked at the ceiling.
Sweating on his back, as if he had been fished out of the water, Chu Guang even suspected that someone had thrown him into the lake to take a bath while he was asleep.
The sheets and clothes were all soaked.
There is no doubt that every time this happens, it must have escalated again.
"...... Next time, I'll sleep in the whole pod. β
Chu Guang seriously suspected that the players were also sweating when they leveled up, but they were lying in the cultivation cabin, and all the metabolites were discharged.
It seems that the recent workouts have paid off.
Chu Guang turned over and got up, his bones crackled, his eyes were unprecedentedly clear, and he felt like he had drunk a box of taurine drink.
After moving his limbs, Chu Guang simply adapted to the new body, and then walked to the resident hall and used the physical examination equipment there to check himself.

"This time you actually added two attribute points?"
Chu Guang confirmed again, he had only been promoted by one level, but his strength and intelligence had increased by 1 attribute point at the same time.
"It seems that the growth of 'bodily functions' with the 'progress of gene sequence development' is not entirely linear."
"It's a pity that the law is still a mystery."
Just as Chu Guang was staring at the physical examination report thoughtfully, there was a light footstep next to him, and Boss Xia, who had just gotten up, yawned and walked in from the corridor next door.
Noticing the sheet on Chu Guang's shoulder, she was slightly stunned with a strange expression.
"Why do you change the sheets every day?"
Chu Guang replied casually.
"It's not every day."
Xia Yan's gaze unconsciously moved down, just in time to see the sweaty clothes and swollen muscles. To be honest, it's not a rare thing, but it happens to be paired with that rather lethal face.
"You...... Find a dress to wear. β
His face suddenly turned red, and Boss Xia turned his head and walked away.
Chu Guang ignored her, and took advantage of the fact that it was not yet the peak of the players' launch, humming a little song and going to the B2 floor to take a shower, and after changing into clean clothes, he threw the sheets into the washing machine.
There is a public washing machine in the shower area, scientific sanitizing, automatic drying, very convenient, only 1 silver coin for one use. Or you can go to the lake, which is free, but there is a risk of helping the fishermen to make a nest, but it is not a big problem.
After washing, Chu Guang returned to the manager's office and sat down, ready to rest for a while before going up, but before the chair was hot, he saw Yin Fang push the door and walk in.
"Are your residents crazy? They were at my door early in the morning! They follow me wherever I go, and it's even more exaggerated than yesterday! β
As he spoke, Yin Fang glanced nervously behind him and found that the shelter residents hadn't followed.
Seeing his uninformed look, Chu Guang smiled and poured him a cup of hot water.
"Relax, they're all excited when they hear that you're planning to set up a scientific expedition, isn't that a good thing? Trust me, if you find something to do for them, they'll fall apart...... Come, drink some hot water. β
Yin Fang, who took the cup, shook his head.
"But I don't need that many people! Four, up to eight to the sky! β
The clues are very limited now, and maybe more people will be needed in the future, but at least not in the early days
"I know you don't have to hire them all, but at least pick a few that look reliable. I have a rank number on your roster, and basically the higher the rank, the more reliable the player. Chu Guang shared a little life experience with him.
This is what he summed up in his constant attempts.
Yin Fang sighed and said, "I don't know how your hierarchy was formulated, and I don't know how reliable this one is. IMHO, you should get a career appraisal system, otherwise how do I know if they're better at cutting trees or picking up trash. β
Chu Guang's eyes lit up and he said.
"Good idea, this can be integrated into the next update."
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
Update?
Yin Fang was confused, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.
After all, this is not the first time he has not understood the occasional self-made phrase that pops out of the manager's mouth.
"Anyway, take care of your residents, I'm afraid they're out of the blue. Also, in order to start work as soon as possible, I need some information. β
Chu Guang looked at him and said, "No problem, what information do you need, where is its location, we can help you get it." β
Yin Fang: "Dr. Principle's images correlate with three locations, the Great Rift Valley, Vault 117, and Xinwu Community College. β
Chu Guang: "The entrance to Vault 117 is being cleared, what is Xinwu Community College?" β
Yin Fang: "This is where we found that tape, and it is also the place where Dr. Principle woke up!" β
"Is there anything worth investigating?"
In Chu Guang's impression, it seemed to be quite clean and clean.
After all, according to the accounts in that video, there were more than 1,000 survivors living in that community college.
Tables, chairs, wooden benches, and even books in the library were burned as fuel two hundred years ago, just like a plague of locusts.
Yin Fang shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the damage there is too high, and it is difficult to find any valuable clues." But even so, the location itself is an important clue. β
Chu Guang: "What do you say?" β
"That's where we come to the workflow of our explorers!"
A confident smile appeared on Yin Fang's face and continued.
"It was common sense in the pre-war era that no scientific institution could exist independently of the support of society. An institute may manage hundreds of topics that may be supported by thousands of funding sources and involve thousands of researchers. The results of this will not be stored in just one place, as long as we find one of the clues, it is possible to find all we want. β
"Some electronic files may be damaged due to EMP or negligent maintenance, but many important records will be kept on paper. The kind of paper and antioxidant ink made of polymer materials, let alone 200 years, even 2,000 years is fine! β
Is this the expert?
After listening to Yin Fang's statement, Chu Guang nodded approvingly.
Sure enough, archaeology is still a major in the academy. Others pick up garbage and pretend to flip through documents they don't understand, but they're the ones who really know how to make use of them.
Many people think that scientific research is too simple, and they think that it is like copying homework, holding drawings and drawing a scoop according to the gourd, and you can make an exact one. In fact, the so-called drawings are not just a piece of paper, there may be many fragments, and many things that are exactly the same on the macro level are very different on the micro level.
Unless there is a systematic understanding of these works, archaeology is not something that can be taken lightly.
If only we could find a way to get more people from the academy to work here.
Then the scientific research point is not going up?
Chu Guang felt that his requirements were not high, and it would be good to be able to get a full set of related technologies from industrial preparation to room temperature preservation, and so on.
This thing can be used as a bomb or as a battery, and it is very easy to use.
According to Yin, he intends to start the investigation from four aspects: the archives of researchers at Xinwu Community University, related research projects, cooperative institutions, and funding sources.
This may take a little time.
But it should be rewarding.
After staying in the manager's office for a while, Yin Fang saw that the players gathered outside had dispersed, so he left in a hurry.
Before going to the surface, Chu Guang glanced at the allowance page of the manager system, and unexpectedly found that he could draw a lottery.
There are a total of 111 bonus points, which is a very auspicious number.
Chu Guang thought for a while, and clicked on the advanced, intermediate, and elementary blind boxes.
Maybe it was enough to have a black face before, and the prize this time was unexpectedly good.
The junior blind box opened a pack of salt-grilled dried fish, a snack that had never been seen before. The intermediate blind box prescribed 1 adrenaline injection, and it was the kind of painless injection, and it was directly opened with one injection.
The advanced blind box is even more incredible, and an SSR is opened - a "hummingbird" drone!
Now Chu Guang has two cameras that can be used!
"Master."
Coming to Chu Guang's calf, Xiao Qi held the camera and looked at him with a longing expression.
Chu Guang originally wanted to say that this drone would be kept for himself, but the voice was too pitiful.
This guy stole a voice pack out of nowhere, he's just so good!
"Good, good, here you go."
Patting the guy's round metal skull, Chu Guang picked it up from the ground and said with a smile.
"Let's go."
"It's almost dawn, let's go outside."
β¦β¦
In fact, the sky outside is not almost bright, but it has already dawned, but Chu Guang has been going out a little late recently, and going out before eight o'clock is relatively early for him.
This is not because Chu Guang is not diligent, but mainly because his little players are too diligent, and they check in on time every day, which is even more positive than going to work.
Chu Guang hadn't even figured out what the name of the heavy industry base sandwiched between the outpost and the long-term farm was, and his hard-working little players had already recaptured the abandoned tire factory from the xenomorphs.
The corpses of mutant rats and cockroaches are piled up into a small mountain, and the newcomers wielding cold weapons have gone crazy.
Plans for Vault 117 and the Greenhouse Site are also progressing steadily.
Especially the former, the players even evolved a new set of team rules by themselves, and even Chu Guang was shocked when he saw it.
Sure enough, the third-rate planning is leek karma, and the second-rate planning karma leeks, first-class planning will not only be karma but also planted.
And as a top planner who is proficient in human nature, he can not only activate the leeks and leeks, but also make the leeks move on their own.
"That's nice."
Everybody earns blood.
It's amazing to have a world where no one loses!
Got on the elevator.
As soon as Chu Guang arrived on the surface, the new storekeeper that Old Luca had trained for him greeted him and said respectfully.
"My lord, Brown Farm has sent a messenger."
Chu Guang remembered that the middle-aged man in front of him was named Guoba, who used to be a slave on Brown Farm, and later entered the dungeon of the Bloody Hand Clan. Because this name is too expensive to pronounce, I easily changed his name to follow the local customs, called Guo Niu.
As for the other caretaker of the granary, his name is Guo Ma.
"The messenger of Brown Farm? Is there something wrong with them? β
Guo Niu said respectfully.
"The messenger brought 5,000 kilograms of croissants and 5,000 kilograms of Chinese cabbage, saying that they were a tribute to you from Mr. Brown, and that the messenger said that they really were gone."
Is there really no more?
Chu Guang was slightly stunned, confused by this sentence, and didn't understand what it meant for a while.
He didn't remember asking him for it.
But one thing to say, this Mr. Brown, whom he has never met, is willing to do so. A full ten tons of grain, just take it, it doesn't seem to be ordinary fertilizer.
Chu Guang couldn't help but think in his heart.
I can't borrow some more.
"Did the messenger say anything else?"
Guo Niu nodded and continued.
"The messenger also said that he wants your inhabitants to exercise a little restraint...... For days on end, they had heard gunfire and explosions coming from the direction of the Garden Street subway station, which was less than a kilometre from Brown Farm. His exact words were, if it was a joke, it wasn't funny at all. β
Hearing this, Chu Guang's expression was a little subtle.
As soon as he heard about the explosion, he immediately guessed that it was moles and mosquitoes that were making too much noise at the entrance of Vault 117 to scare the people of Brown Farm.
But think about it.
There is a neighbor who can fight next to him, and there are more guns and more bullets if there is nothing else, and in just one month, there is nothing to fight except for the lake in the west, and all three directions in the southeast and north have been done.
Now this neighbor has come to the door with people, shooting and firing guns every day, obviously not celebrating the New Year in advance.
It's everyone who has to panic.
It's just that Chu Guang really didn't expect that this farmer would be so cowardly, and he directly dragged grain to his door to beg for mercy.
Seeing that the manager did not speak, Guo Niu asked cautiously.
"My lord, the messenger of Brown Farm is in the reception room, do you need me to take you to him?"
Coming back to his senses, Chu Guang looked at Guo Niu.
"No, you can ask him to bring me a message to the owners of Brown Farms to thank them for their generous donation. Also, our residents didn't mean to disturb, they just did it there...... Uh, to xenomorph combat exercises. β
After a pause, Chu Guang continued.
"The exercise will be over in a week, so don't think about it and don't worry too much. Vault 404 is the guardian of the regional order, and we look forward to engaging in friendly and equal trade with them. β
"Besides, you can have lunch with the messengers before they go back. They generously donated so much food to us, and they still have to fulfill their due courtesy. β
Guo Niu nodded respectfully.
"Yes, my lord."
β¦β¦
Meeting room.
Liu Jiuyue paced back and forth in the room, looking sad.
Mr. Brown had not slept all night the night, and had a great temper tantrum, which made them uneasy.
Early in the morning, his leader, Liu Zhengyue, called him over and asked him to take the loaded caravan to the Linghu Wetland Park four kilometers away, and present the supplies on the car to the lord there.
Liu Jiujiu counted the materials in the car, and there were 20,000 catties, which really surprised him.
You must know that this cold winter that came ahead of schedule has caused the farm to produce a full season of grain. Not only did the serfs' meals be reduced to one meal a day, but even the food of their subordinates was reduced again and again, and there was not even a little oil and water in the bowls.
With so much to give to the neighbors, wouldn't the owner be worried about running out of food in winter?
However, this is not something that he alone can worry about.
At this moment, the door opened.
Guo Niu, who received him, walked in from outside.
Liu Jiuyue recognized this person and remembered that he used to be a serf who cut wheat on the farm, but now he could only pretend not to know him, with a smile on his face, and greeted him and said.
"Sir, have you seen the manager?"
didn't give him any preferential treatment because of his status as a "fellow countryman", Guo Niu said with a businesslike attitude.
"Your Excellency has understood your appeal and is grateful to Mr. Brown for his generous donation. The exercise at the Garden Street MTR station will end in a week, and he said it wasn't for you, so don't worry too much. In addition, in order to avoid accidental injury, he hopes that your people will try not to approach as much as possible during the exercise, which is for your own good. β
Liu Jiujiu looked dazed.
"Drills?"
"Yes, my lord said, this is a combat exercise against xenomorphs." Guo Niu didn't know how to explain this word, so he could only repeat the original words said by the manager.
Liu Jiujiu nodded blankly.
Listen to what these people mean, the gunfire at the Garden Street subway station will continue for another week?
But what happened there wasn't directed at them, so don't worry.
In any case, he has been replied, and this mission is considered complete, and he can go back to the errand. He only hoped that this reply would satisfy Mr. Brown, after all, the man's tantrum was terrifying.
"Thank you for hearing us, and I'll pass it on to Mr. Brown." Liu Jiujiu said respectfully.
Guo Niu nodded, looked at him and continued.
"In addition, the manager instructed me that if you are not in a hurry to leave, let me entertain you to have lunch before you hit the road, and the road conditions at noon will be safer."
Liu Jiujiu did not refuse.
On the one hand, it is true that the road conditions at noon will be safer than in the morning, as the person in charge of receiving him said. On the other hand, being able to rub a meal and then walk is more comfortable than going on the road on an empty stomach.
He didn't eat anything before he set out, but stuffed a piece of barley cake in his pocket, cold and hard, like a stone. The pot of boiling water hanging on his waist has long been cold, and it is fortunate that he has not frozen.
"Thank you!"
Looking at the submissive man in front of him, Guo Niu suddenly felt a little pitiful for him.
When they were in the farmstead before, what they envied most were the servants who could serve the farmer's family, because only those servants could be counted as people, and they could only be regarded as cattle.
Even the female laundry worker, the shoemaker who shines the shoes of the farmer, is much more noble than their status. Not only can you live in a house made of wood or bricks, but you can also eat two hot meals, and if you occasionally make a mistake, you will be punished, and you will not be dragged out and disposed of just because you are old or disabled.
But now, he felt that this man, who had once stood tall in front of him, was like a pitiful worm at the moment.
Perhaps in this world, only the managers can liberate them.
"You're welcome."
Guo Niu paused, repeating the words of the manager.
"Your Excellency said, this is the proper courtesy."
