The "black box" was borrowed by Yin Fang and taken to study.

Considering that the space on the B2 floor was too small, Chu Guang found a slightly more spacious single room on the B1 floor and lent it to him as his laboratory and "surgical operating room".

However, Chu Guang soon discovered that this guy not only stuffed his personal belongings in, but also carried the bed and futon into it together.

This posture is intended to be on the post for food and housing.

For such a situation, Chu Guang, as a manager, deeply examined himself for a few seconds.

It can be seen that his little player has indeed caused a lot of trouble to this Dr. Yin.

But even so, Chu Guang still felt that it was a bit redundant for Yin Fang to do this.

After all, as long as he plans to go to Area A on the second basement level to eat, drink, and Lazar, it is almost inevitable that he will run into players who are interested in him.

"Why bother?"

Too much to avoid those energetic players, but it is easy to be targeted by them. For this kind of thing, Chu Guang is too experienced.

I hope that Dr. Yin will be able to adapt to his new life as soon as possible.

With a silent blessing in his heart, Chu Guang saw that the time was not early, so he got up and went to the market at the north gate of the outpost.

As newcomers to alpha 0.8 get to grips with the game, there have been a number of interesting stalls opening in the bazaar recently.

For example, one sells ramen and the other sells fried rice.

The former is run by a player who uses his real name as an ID, and it is said that the meat is thinner than paper, and the noodles are as thin as the data cable, which is quite authentic.

The latter is not a newcomer, it is said that he is the apprentice of [Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes], and his ID is called [Sour and Hot Potato Shreds], which is also a name that sounds quite delicious.

However, due to the lack of supplies at the outpost, there are no eggs and no old godmothers. Even if this benevolent brother fried it quite hard, he always felt that he was missing some soul when he ate it, Chu Guang tasted it once, and then he didn't try it again.

Seeing Chu Guang sitting down in front of his stall, Zhang Hai was so surprised that he almost cut off his fingers.

"What are you doing, Mr. Manager?"

npc！

And also managers!

Is it about to trigger the hidden mission?!

Chu Guang had long been used to the fuss of the newcomers, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Finding a wooden table and sitting down, he said.

"A bowl of meat."

"Okay!!"

After a while, the ramen was served.

The white mist rises, and the smell of the face is mixed with the smell of meat, which is appetizing. Especially the meat in the bowl is almost covered with noodles, and it doesn't seem to be the same as the rumored one?

Chu Guang was just about to take a bite when he heard the shouting next to him.

"Damn! Daddy, why am I so meaty? ”

"That's it! That's too little, isn't it? ”

"I seriously suspect that this dog thing has moved all the meat in our bowl to the manager's bowl!"

Seeing the guests shouting and complaining, Zhang Hai didn't panic at all, he didn't even act, and he licked it with confidence.

"What's the noise, you're also an NPC? Can you send me hidden quests? Can you make me rush from t5 to t0? ”

Players: "%¥#@!" ”

“……”

In order to prevent the players from transferring the conflict to themselves, Chu Guang decided to pretend not to hear it and concentrate on eating his own noodles.

Since the end of the month, the weather has been getting colder and colder day by day.

However, the market at the north gate is getting more and more lively day by day.

Everything is slowly getting better.

The only fly in the ointment is that Crow's mushroom stall seems to be closed, and Chu Guang has not seen her open for business for several days.

What a shame.

Chu Guang quite liked the mushroom soup that the little player boiled.

Let's hope this damn winter ends soon!

……

After dinner.

Chu Guang, who returned to the shelter, first went to wash his face, and then exchanged the 200 reward points he received for completing side quests for 2 advanced blind boxes.

Maybe it was because he washed his face, but the reward issued by the blind box was very unexpectedly not disappointing him.

In addition to an EMP grenade, he actually drew a set of Type 5 "light cavalry" light police exoskeletons!

"! So washing your face really works?! Looking at the equipment lying on the conveyor belt, Chu Guang had a surprised expression on his face.

To be honest, he was a little pessimistic before opening these two blind boxes.

After all, not long ago, he drove the second Hummingbird drone, and from a metaphysical point of view, it is reasonable to have a black face a few times.

However, the system didn't play according to the routine and threw an SSR at him.

Chu Guang thought about it, it must be because he usually likes to do good things.

This character is simply against the sky!

Recovering this exoskeleton from the conveyor belt, Chu Guang originally planned to take it to Boss Xia's weapon shop to sell it.

However, after thinking about it for a few seconds, he dismissed the idea.

The reason is simple.

So far, none of the nine "Miner Type I" exoskeletons that have been hung in stores have been sold, except for one that was given away by lottery.

Not only because of the purchase threshold of "contribution level citizen, player level lv10", but also because the price of the equipment itself is there.

2000 credits.

There are only a handful of players on the server who can come up with that much money.

As a police equipment in the pre-war society, the Type 5 "light cavalry" exoskeleton is significantly better than the miner type I designed by the enterprise in all aspects, not to mention that it also comes with composite bulletproof armor, and the price can't be lower than the latter, right?

Take it to the enterprises on the East Coast, this pre-war equipment can be exchanged for 5 sets of "Miner Type I" at best!

"How many silver coins to sell can be negotiated, Miner Type I is a level 10 equipment, a good thing like Type 5...... It makes sense to have a level of 15 or 20. ”

"The secondary equipment hasn't been sold yet, so it's pointless to put the higher-level equipment on the shelves now, except to put it there to eat ashes."

In this case, it is better to take it to the guard team and use it first for NPCs who need to attend.

On the premise of not destroying the balance of "Wasteland OL", this is also the way that Chu Guang can think of, and it is the most valuable disposal method that can make the equipment play its due value.

Seeing that there were still single-digit reward points left, Chu Guang threw them all on the primary blind box.

However, the previous character explosion seems to have used up all the good luck, and this time it didn't produce anything good, and all that came out were lollipops.

And it's all the kind that doesn't have attribute bonuses.

However, Chu Guang didn't care.

One cannot be too greedy.

Out of a set of exoskeletons, it's already blood-earned!

The blind box is drawn.

Catching up with the peak of players going offline, Chu Guang planned to go to the forum for a while, but as soon as he sat down in front of the computer, a line of light blue pop-ups appeared in front of him.

[System: The player's "White Horse Gap" gene sequence development progress has reached 10%. 】

Hey?

"There are players who are already level ten?"

Chu Guang was surprised in his heart, and immediately opened the list of players, and saw Lao Bai's number at a glance.

"Xiaoqi, help me retrieve this player's attribute panel!"

The speaker on the wall responded immediately.

"Roger, master!"

Soon, a table appeared on the computer screen on the desk.

【

ID: White Pony Gap

Gene Sequence: Power Line (Phase 2)

Level: Lv.9→ Lv10

——Basic Attributes——

Strength: 12→17

Dexterity: 6→7

Constitution: 6→7

Perception: 6→7

Intelligence: 4→5

】

【

Talent:

Boundary Breakthrough (Strength): Break through the limit of the physical body in 0.5~3 seconds, gain 150%~200% strength attribute bonus, fatigue accumulation speed 200%~400%, and cooldown time 30s~1min.

】

Staring at the attribute panel, Chu Guang touched his chin with interest.

"The power system is awakened, the main attribute is increased by 5 points, and the rest attribute is increased by 1 point...... This panel of data is okay. ”

Especially the power of those 17 points, they are all the same as themselves!

And that "Boundary Breakthrough", which can get a maximum of 200% strength bonus in a short period of time, and 17 points of strength becomes 34 in seconds?

While not being long-lasting is a problem, for melee players, victory or defeat itself is a matter of moments.

It is already terrifying to be able to gain the power to rival a mutant in a short period of time with the body of a human!

Chu Guang had no doubt at all that his little players would be able to play this skill to the fullest.

"It takes 6~8 hours to awaken, and it can't wake up the clone during this time...... It seems that my speculation is correct, and the upgrades are all while sleeping. ”

Maybe it's because the long body is all in the middle of sleep?

Chu Guang noticed that the cultivation cabin could speed up the process to a certain extent.

In addition, the active substance required for resurrection of the awakened clone has been changed from 1 unit to 2 units. As for the CD, there is no change, it is still 72 hours.

Chu Guang sorted out the information collected from Lao Bai and selectively updated it in the official website database.

Hopefully, this information can provide some reference for his players.

……

Ten o'clock in the evening.

After cleaning up the new room, Yin Fang came to the manager's office again and found Chu Guang.

"Can you give me a few more VMs? Twenty dollars is enough. ”

Hearing this strange request, Chu Guang was slightly stunned and looked at Yin Fangdao.

"What do you want so many VMs for?"

Although there are nearly 1,000 pieces of VM reserves on the B2 floor, there are now a total of 500 players, and there are less than 2 pieces in each player's hands.

Even without considering the natural attrition of unexpected circumstances, NPCs need to publish tasks and communicate with players through VMs.

Although Chu Guang has not encountered a shortage of VMs for the time being, the reserves of this thing are far from being rich enough to be squandered at will.

"Although I also want a professional work computer, you obviously don't have it here," glancing at the retro-shaped "suitcase-type" computer on the desk, Yin Fang continued, "Although the processor computing power of the VM is a little weaker, it can be used to change it." Twenty pieces in tandem can barely meet my work needs. ”

Chu Guang shook his head and said.

"Twenty VMs is too much! If you need computing power, the Vault's servers have plenty of computing power, and I can give you a little bit of it, what do you think? ”

Yin Fang's eyes lit up and said.

"That's for the best, of course! But even then, I still need a few VMs to act as screens and interfaces—"

"Three pieces," Chu Guang stretched out three fingers, "Is it enough?" ”

Looking at these three fingers, Yin Fang scratched the back of his head with a headache.

"I'm not sure...... To be honest, it was also my first time trying a DIY temporary workstation. At the Academy, all D-level and above personnel have their own independent laboratories that can be used for equipment modification and sample analysis—"

"I'm really sorry, my conditions here are like this, I can only trouble you to overcome it." Coughing lightly, Chu Guang looked at him seriously and continued, "However, I promise you that I will let my people pay more attention when they are scavenging. If you find a working electronic device, we will send it to you as soon as possible. As for VMs...... That's all I can give you for the time being, and I'll talk to you if it's not enough. ”

"After all, it's in the early days of entrepreneurship, right?" Yin Fang made a helpless expression, shrugged his shoulders, and said that he had no opinion.

He was clear about the difficulties of Vault 404.

It was as clean as a thief, and he had never seen such a poor three-digit shelter. Not to mention the most basic facilities such as the health station, there is not even an automatic kitchen, and food has to be brought in from outside!

It's really hard for the residents here, one or two are simply models of model workers, and the optimistic ones don't look like human beings.

If they change shelters, the administrators will force them to eat mutated food, and I'm afraid it will be enough for them to get up.

With the three VMs he received from Chu Guang, Yin Fang was about to walk out the door, but at this moment, Chu Guang suddenly remembered something and stopped him.

"That's right."

Stopping at the door, Yin Fang turned around and asked.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Guang continued.

"If I want to refuel the reactor in the Vault, where do I go to find fuel rods?"

Hearing this unexpected statement, Yin Fang was stunned at first, and was instantly shocked when he came back to his senses.

"What do you mean, your vault is out of fuel?!"

Chu Guang coughed and said.

"It's not my refuge, it's me...... The most recent one to pick up. ”

However, how much energy can be used in Vault 404, Chu Guang himself does not know in his heart.

So far, he has not unlocked the level where the reactor is located, and even if he wanted to refuel the Vault, he had no place to refuel, so he could only hope that the current energy consumption rate of the Vault was still within the expectations of the original administrators.

If you game over because of a power outage, it's too good!

Hearing Chu Guang's explanation, Yin Fang breathed a sigh of relief and continued after a pause.

"Fuel rods for shelters are not easy to find, as the Vault Project was not intended to keep survivors underground, and some shelters will even gradually shut down the subsistence system after opening, or adjust the full cycle to a semi-cycle to urge the shelter residents to return to the surface and devote themselves to reconstruction."

Chu Guang frowned.

"So there's no way?"

"No," Yin Fang shook his head, "As far as I know, the agency that designed the reactor for the Zhongzhou Regional Shelter is Zhongzhou Aerospace, and the reactor is of the same model as the 'Gonggong' series space station and the N-series spacecraft in terms of specifications. ”

Chu Guang couldn't help but say.

"There's no way I'm going to heaven looking for this."

Yin Fang nodded and said.

"That's right, it's really not realistic to go to the sky to recycle fuel rods, where the conditions are not much better than on the ground, and maybe even worse. However, while we can't go to outer space, we can find some inventory that hasn't been sent to outer space yet. In addition, some research institutions associated with Zhongzhou Aerospace should also be able to find this fuel rod...... I've heard that their backup generator is a similar model. ”

Chu Guang stared at him with blazing eyes.

"Do you have any good plans?"

Yin Fang hesitated and said.

"I can't guarantee it, but I can give it a try...... If you can get the production data and product numbers of Zhongzhou Aerospace or its factories, you should be able to locate some fuel rods that can be used. ”

If memory serves, there should be such facilities in the southern part of the province of River Valley.

And there should be some usable electronic devices there, which is exactly what Yin Fang needs now.

After hearing these words, Chu Guanglu stood up from the office chair with a thud, walked up to him with joy, and put his hands on his shoulders.

"Over to you!"

Facing this eager look, Yin Fang was stunned, and said without much confidence.

"All I can say is try to ......"

It's the year 211 of the Wasteland Age, and after three years of war, anything is possible for more than two centuries.

Even the sanitarium on the surface of 404 has been visited by scavengers more than once - only no one has noticed that there is a shelter hidden under the seemingly broken elevator.

If fuel rods can be obtained, not only can the tasks associated with Vault 117 be completed, but the potential energy crisis in Vault 404 can also be resolved.

It's like killing two birds with one stone!

Chu Guang, who was in a good mood, waved his hand and immediately allocated a "huge amount" of up to 10,000 silver coins for the project of recycling fuel rods.

Finding fuel rods that would match the Vault reactor would be the first task for the Vault 404 expedition.

As the head of the scientific expedition team, Yin Fang can use this budget to recruit players to explore the target, or issue a public bounty.

However, Chu Guang also warned him that it was best not to spend this money all at once, and sometimes giving too much may not be a good thing.

Details on how to use the budget and how to set the reward value for each level of mission are detailed in the Shelter Dweller Handbook (NPC Edition).

This is a mandatory course for every NPC in Vault 404.

If you have any questions about one of these terms, you can click the question mark icon on the manual page of the VM to ask the manager assistant "Xiaoqi", and Xiaoqi, who is online 24 hours a day, will answer every question.

However, just like when Boss Xia first came here, Dr. Yin didn't have any feelings for such things as silver coins, but took this opportunity to complain.

"You're still using metal money? Don't you find it troublesome? ”

Chu Guang said disappreciatively.

"Metal money has the benefits of metal money, the sound of coins colliding can make people work harder, and coins that can be seen and touched are more likely to be recognized by strangers...... However, I've been thinking about switching to a more convenient currency lately. Go about your own business, you don't need to worry about this problem, I'll figure it out. ”

After Dr. Yin left.

Chu Guang, who was sitting in front of the computer, switched back to the identity of the planner and logged in to the backstage page of the official website of "Wasteland OL".

Before opening Vault 117, Chu Guang had only recovered the power armor, the suitcase of the Doctor Principle, and the VM of the Administrator, and there were still many areas that he had not had time to explore carefully.

At the moment, he has two missions left in his taskbar.

One is to refuel Vault 117's reactor, which grants Vault 117 administrator privileges.

The other is a mission triggered by a videotape of Doctor Principle.

That is, explore all areas of Vault 117 with the VM, and once completed, you will unlock the B3 floor of Vault 404!

The task of finding fuel rods has been entrusted to Yin Fang to solve.

As for the latter task, the current exploration progress is 21%, and Chu Guang plans to hand over the rest to his little players to complete.

The xenomorphs at the entrance to the shelter have been resolved, and the task of mapping itself is not difficult, so it is a good opportunity to give benefits to his players.

I already have an idea in my mind.

A smile appeared on Chu Guang's face, he put his hands on the keyboard, and began to assign "tomorrow's" homework to his little players-

[Announcement: The player's "White Pony Gap" level has been raised to level 10, becoming the first power-based player to reach 10% of the genetic sequence development progress!] 】

[Announcement: A new version is coming, and the limited-time event "Our Neighbors" will start on time at 19:00 tonight!] 】

[Event content: Take the VM to visit Vault 117, check in all scenes, and reach 100% exploration progress to get a mysterious gift!] 】

[Note: There is no time limit for the event, you can get it with a VM, in order to avoid traffic congestion, please travel off-peak!] 】

-

(Two shifts will be resumed tomorrow!) ）
