Long farm to the north, abandoned town.

The howling north wind carried light snow and gently swayed the roadside branches.

Trucks with quadruple anti-aircraft guns in the back of the box were hidden at the edge of the woods, and the horizontal rows of machine guns were aimed at a snowfield to the north.

Next to the truck, the gray wolf held a telescope and looked in the direction of the north, his face couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and his mouth kept whispering.

"It can't ......"

It stands to reason that when he fires the signal flare, a team of 100 people will set off from Yuanxi Town and immediately go to Changchang Farm to help him consolidate the defense of the fortress, and the follow-up troops and supplies will also be transferred to Changchang Farm one after another, so that the entire northern suburbs will be included in the territory of the Chewing Bone Tribe.

Now, however, it was noon the next day.

Not to mention the hundreds, he didn't even see a shadow of a person from the north.

A flash of annoyance flashed in the gray wolf's eyes, and he felt that he had been deceived.

Obviously, the lion's tooth who handed over the flare gun to him had no intention of sending reinforcements at all, and even used himself and his subordinates as cannon fodder from the moment he set off.

But why?

The gray wolf couldn't figure out why Lionfang did this.

If that stupid thing has the information and thinks it's impossible for him to take this place, why would he agree to risk it?

Even if he is a foreigner, he is still a combat force, and he asks himself that his strength is not weak. No matter how hard he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out why Lionfang wanted to give up on himself.

Liu Ding, who was standing next to him, had no surprise on his face.

Before leaving, the manager had explained to him that this mission might be a failure.

The marauders in Yuanxi Town may not have planned to reinforce at all.

Because of some kind of factor outside the battlefield.

With an assault rifle hanging on his chest, Liu Ding, who was standing next to him, glanced at the time of the VM on his arm and said with a blank face.

"Looks like your 'reinforcements' won't come."

The gray wolf's Adam's apple moved.

"Maybe it's snowing......"

Liudin ignored him and knocked his fist on the door of the truck, beckoning to the player sitting in the driver's seat.

"Mission ended."

"Retreat."

Ward's foot, Levine, who was sitting in the truck, yawned, started the light truck's engine, and shouted into the rearview mirror.

"Call it a day, call it a day, don't doze off."

The asleep [Ya'er I want to go to the toilet] shook his head violently, and after waking up, he climbed back into the truck, looking at the half box of ammunition and muttering.

"."

"The sleepy old man is going to be disconnected......"

It's the first time I've been sleepy in the game.

The operators of "Wasteland OL" always put some extra effort in strange places.

Is it reasonable not to be online 24 hours a day?

Is it reasonable for the characters in the game to still sleep?

There is no one who can do this with the anti-addiction system!

……

I barely slept all night last night, and my morning's work was piled up again.

There is no new movement in the north for the time being, and the next attack should presumably come from the northeast - the thousand-man team led by the Black Snake.

In order to prevent a sneak attack, Chu Guang deployed two patrol routes near the Zhongzhou Aerospace Ecological Experimental Base, using the former sites of the three survivor settlements of Dongliu Camp, Highway Town, and Battery Factory as patrol nodes to search for possible threats in the northeast of Qingquan City.

The patrol mission will be shared by the guard team and the combat pro gamers, not only to carry out the patrol mission itself, but also to familiarize yourself with the terrain of this generation and prepare for the upcoming big war.

By the way, Dilat rubber is really easy to use.

Not only is it used to seal the device, but it can be made into a track and replaced by a simple and crude tire to make a light truck "fly" on the snow.

However, the poor quality of the suspension is a problem, so the person sitting in the car may be very uncomfortable, and last night there was a small player in the intelligence department who was upside down.

After returning to the shelter, it was already noon, Chu Guang fell asleep without eating, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was already afternoon.

"It's time to work backwards again."

Shaking his groggy brain, Chu Guang, who sat up from the bed, looked down at his sweat-soaked clothes, and then looked at the sheets and the floor.

“…… This is to be seen and specified to be misunderstood. ”

Chu Guang had just said something to himself, when an energetic voice floated from the wall on the side.

"It's okay master, Xiaoqi won't tell others."

I don't know where the voice bag was stolen.

Is it Senpai style today?

"Okay, you can shut up."

The sound stopped.

The VM resting on the bedside table, a line of pop-up windows popped up on the screen.

“qaq”

“……”

Casually turned off the dialog box that popped up on the VM, Chu Guang skillfully took off his clothes and threw them into the basket next to the door.

Picking up the towel hanging on the side of the basket, and simply wiping off the metabolites on his body, Chu Guang changed into clean clothes, and went to the bathroom on the B3 floor.

Seeing Chu Guang who appeared at the door, Heya raised her eyebrows slightly, and her expression was a little surprised.

"You're 'leveling' again?"

This is a new word she learned from Chu Guang.

Similar to "player", they are all words that are "difficult to understand just by listening to the pronunciation".

"That's right."

Consciously lying on the scanning bed, Chu Guang said dryly.

"Let's get started."

"Wait a minute! I put the sample away. ”

Stopping what she was doing, Heya skillfully removed the slices from the microscope, carefully put them back in the sample bank for cryostorage, and then walked over briskly with great interest.

Compared to the tissue sections of the Claws of Death, the genetic samples kept in this vault are significantly more interesting.

For her, it's like a treasure trove of potential.

It's amazing to wake up 20 years later!

Walking to the terminal at the head of the bed, Heya stretched out her index finger and clicked on the touch screen a few times, skillfully operating the device and starting to work.

The scanner is activated.

After a little waiting, the updated property panel was quickly presented in front of Chu Guang.

【

Level: Lv.15→ Lv.16

——Basic Attributes——

】

This time it's intelligence.

Chu Guang closed his eyes and felt it for a while, but maybe it was because he was smart enough, so he didn't feel it too intuitively.

Heya, who was standing next to the terminal, had surprise written on her face.

Nerve cells are non-renewable cells, and it stands to reason that after the human brain matures, it will not add new neurons.

At least not under natural conditions.

However, at this moment, the changes in him have subverted her cognition.

Without the help of drugs or other auxiliary equipment, the fully developed body actually grew twice in a row!

It's not exercise-based growth.

It's a fundamental change in the way genes are expressed.

In fact, Chu Guang was not alone, almost all the residents of this shelter had many similar incomprehensible situations in terms of DNA expression.

"Incredible...... It's amazing how fast you've grown! I think it was like I had a check-up for you just over a week ago, right? Last time it was the immune system and metabolic function and bone ...... So this time it's neurons? It's outrageous! ”

Chu Guang didn't feel anything, but felt that he had neglected to exercise a little during this time.

"Soon?"

Hea nodded with a serious expression.

"Of course, I wouldn't have used the word unbelievable."

Chu Guang glanced at her strangely: "How do I think you use it often." ”

Hea was stunned.

"Is there one?"

Not wasting time on inconsequential issues, Chu Guang shifted the topic back to the issue of genetic sequences.

"So it's a good thing or a bad thing to grow fast."

Heya thought for a moment and said.

"It's hard to say, from different standpoints, the definition of good and bad is different."

Chu Guang: "What do you mean?" ”

Hea: "In short, the growth of an individual helps to increase the probability of survival in the environment, but comparatively, overly complex gene expression patterns are not conducive to heredity...... Do you understand me when I say that? ”

Actually, it's not a big deal.

It is said that in the distant era of prosperity, a considerable number of people have abandoned their old social relationships and reproduced the next generation entirely through technological means.

Especially with the boom of android companions and virtual reality technology, the process of this social change has been directly accelerated.

After all, who can refuse a piece of paper man whose character will never collapse?

Especially when this paper man can step out of the screen.

"Sort of, but I'm not sure if what I understand is the same as what you're trying to say."

All in all, it's hard to win?

Chu Guang, who was sitting on the edge of the scanning bed, fell into deep thought.

So here's the problem.

So is this a good thing or a good thing?

……

Waking up late has the advantage of waking up late, and the evening is the most lively time of the North Gate Market, and you can have food as soon as you open your eyes.

The bonfire at the north entrance has been extinguished, but the festive atmosphere is no less than last night.

Even more enthusiastic than last night.

The popular snacks from the festival have been preserved and continue to shine at the market.

The prey that players have racked their brains to collect from the wasteland, as well as the ingredients that have not been used up, greatly enrich the recipes of the local residents.

Sure enough, eating is always the first pursuit of people.

It is only after they have eaten enough that people will have the heart to think about other things and think about how to improve their lives.

When Chu Guang was wandering around the market, he found that the people of the Frost Spear Clan were selling a black and red dye made from shellac.

It's the technology they've brought with them from the survivor colonies of the North, and it's made from small bugs that aren't uncommon in the wasteland, but until they arrived, the technology wasn't useful.

And when the people of the Frostspear Clan discovered the need for paint from the Blue Coats at the celebration, they immediately made this thing.

Facts have proved that the performance of this dye is indeed excellent, especially for silk fabrics The wetting power is very good, and after successful coloring, it will not fade after repeated scrubbing.

In addition, the people of the Iron Axe tribe also found some experience in spinning work, and on the stall of the Autumn Grass and Autumn Leaf Sisters, many varieties that Chu Guang had not seen before were also born.

For example, some beautiful accessories, durable gloves, scarves or socks.

Some of the goods were obviously taught to them by Fujito.

Prosperous bazaars help to boost the morale of producers, and the reward of commodity circulation for production helps to stimulate creativity, prompt people to improve the tools and methods of production, and thus lead to the overall prosperity of the entire survivor stronghold.

Chu Guang, who was walking in the bazaar, could intuitively feel that the harsh cold winter and the negative impact of the "Wartime Regulations" were slowly fading.

The sprout of prosperity seems to have come earlier than spring.

On almost everyone's face, he can feel the vigorous vitality, as well as the expectation and yearning for tomorrow's life.

In the wasteland, it's almost impossible to see.

When passing by the barbecue stall, Chu Guang bought a few skewers.

The smell of oily meat penetrated into the tip of his nose, making him can't help but move his index finger after a whole day, and he was satisfied with a bite.

Just when Chu Guang was thinking about whether to drink something, he happened to hear a mushroom stall not far away, and a familiar shout floated after a long time.

"Fresh devil's jelly!"

"It's just done, everyone come and buy duck!"

Mushroom stalls are open?

It seems that this winter is indeed coming to an end.

Chu Guang, who was surprised in his heart, looked towards Boss Crow's stall.

Unfortunately, instead of the mushroom soup that countless NPCs and players have been thinking about, it was replaced by a large vat.

On the wooden table next to the vat, there are several delicate small bowls, which are crystal clear gelatinous and look like jelly.

Chu Guang remembered that it seemed to be the masterpiece of the vine vine, boiling the devil chrysalis into a gelatinous substance, making something similar to bamboo shoot jelly, which tasted strange and fragrant, and the appearance was not as unappetizing as the devil chrysalis looked.

After the end of the New Year's event, the beautiful and kind-hearted Fuji seemed to pass on this craft to the crow, and the crow, who smelled the business opportunity, immediately stunned the stall.

The only pity is that this amount is too small.

If only she were half her age.

Not long after the shouting, a large circle of players gathered around the mushroom beach.

"Yikes! Boss Duck's mushroom stand has opened?! ”

"Yikes! Not mushrooms! ”

"Damn, how is it strange food for sale? What's the difference between this and selling dog meat on a sheep's head? ”

"Where's the mushroom soup? I want to be able to see little Klee's mushrooms! ”

"Woo woo, I can't see the crow boss swallowing big mushrooms raw, what's the point of a mushroom stall without talent!"

"Wait, the jelly seems pretty good, too?"

"Good brother, I suddenly had a bold thought-"

"Get out!"

The red-faced crow raised his hand and smashed a bowl of devil's jelly, and the player who was hit was overjoyed, picked up the bowl and ran away.

The crow, who was calming down, realized that he had been tricked, and immediately regretted it.

Damn, careless!

I just lost a bowl when it opened, and it was a bloody loss!

However, ridicule is ridicule, and everyone still takes care of Boss Crow's business.

After all, it was the first meal that many players had after entering the game, and the five copper coins given by the newbie package were just enough to buy a bowl.

That bowl of mushroom soup carries their memories of a distant version, even older than the history of the North Gate Bazaar.

After the little player finished eating, he quickly returned the bowl, said sorry embarrassedly, it was delicious, and said with a hippie smile that he would dare next time.

Other players also took out their VMs, ready to pay for their feelings.

However, when they learned the price, everyone was stunned.

"Wait a minute, isn't this jelly too expensive to sell for a silver coin?"

"That's it! Your bowl is half an apple the size, which is too little horn!? ”

"I take Sister Crow as a brother, and Sister Crow takes me as a prince."

"It's too dark, it's too dark!"

Seeing that everyone was complaining, and the rhythm was loud, Crow suddenly became anxious and hurriedly argued.

"The ramen next door sells for ten silver coins a bowl, is it too much for me to sell one silver coin?"

Zhang Hai, who was pulling noodles at the ramen stall next door, was immediately unhappy when he heard it, and immediately glared at him.

"!"

"When have I ever sold it for so much money?"

Irena, who was eating noodles, raised her head and couldn't help but complain.

"It's true that you don't sell it so expensive, but your meat is really thinner than two slices."

Zhang Hai glanced at him nonchalantly.

"You know a hammer? This is called the most authentic drop. ”

When the diners heard this, they scolded.

These profiteers are too dark!

Hang the street lamp!

Holding the barbecued wild boar skewers he had just bought, looking at the noisy little players, Chu Guang's face couldn't help but show an old fatherly smile.

That's great.

It seems that we will have to find an excuse to hold a few more celebrations in the future.

Let's wait until the crisis in the northern suburbs is resolved!

If the situation is optimistic, the ceremony to celebrate spring ploughing may be able to be held together with the ceremony of triumph.

However, all the premise of a good vision for the future is that they must drive out the jackals to the north.

Otherwise everything is just empty talk.

Biting down on the last bite of meat on the skewers, Chu Guang wiped his mouth and walked towards the next stall with great interest.

……

After dinner, Chu Guang strolled around the street for a while.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that he went back to the shelter, sat down in his office, and began to do his job.

Normally, most people have gone offline, but today there are still many people online.

It seems that everyone has nothing to do on New Year's Day, and lying down is also lying, so it is better to lie down with a helmet on.

Throughout the day, the average time users are online has increased by at least 20% compared to the previous days.

The total number of silver coins, a key indicator of players' "liver degree", has also increased by 13% compared to yesterday.

Although there is more money being sent, this is a good thing.

According to the economic system of Wasteland OL.

The rewards that players receive from tasks and orders are positively correlated with the value of their contributions to the collective.

Generally speaking, for every 1 silver coin a player obtains, the value of the refuge is between 1.5~4 credits.

It doesn't matter if the coin is obtained from the market or from trading with other players, the value is still there, but it is moved from the warehouse to the market, and it is precipitated in various forms to provide a basis for future transaction taxes.

And as the inventory of the life pro player is depleted, the currency sent out will return to the refuge, thus forming a virtuous circle.

In addition to the boom in the market.

Chu Guang also noticed that after last night's battle, five new Awakened Ones were born.

As of now, the number of Awakened on the server has risen to 27, and there are still three people left to form a full ten-man team.

"It's one step closer to making up an 'Awakening Company'." The corners of Chu Guang's mouth couldn't help but curl up with a smile, and his face was full of happiness.

It's okay for an Awakened to hit three people, right?

In the same way, it's okay for a company of awakened people to beat a regiment, right?

Although the Marauders also have the Awakened, and there are some strange things that may not be done, but it is not a big problem.

His little player is not only more pure, but also has a stable evolutionary direction, and most importantly, a large production.

Three days for a life, just ask if you are afraid?

After reading the report of the macro data, Chu Guang then opened the report uploaded by Changchang Farm.

Among the trophies seized this time were about 101 rifles of the Rifles, the remaining 21 submachine guns, 32 assault rifles, 9 ready-to-throw iron fist bazookas, Molotov cocktails and a number of grenades.

According to the loot counted by the NPCs, Chu Guang, with the assistance of Xiao Qi, settled the players' rewards through a preset calculation formula.

Defensive and Offensive modes have different war objectives, and kills contribute a little more war score.

Among them, the MVP is naturally the "anti-aircraft artillery" group, with 42 heads, and nearly forty percent of the targets were harvested by mosquitoes alone, which directly led to the collapse of the attacker.

At that time, the shuttle cannon swept by, and the marauders who originally occupied the wall were directly frightened, and they threw themselves not long after jumping down.

So much so that the "edge" team was lonely after rushing up, and the battle was already over when they arrived at the door.

However, although the human head is taken by mosquitoes, the score is still calculated as a group score.

In other words, Brother Levine and Brother Toilet Soo, who are drivers and loaders, will also be rewarded with points.

Counting the points provided by the Platoon Mission, the trio received a reward of 480 Silver, as well as 200 Contribution and 1000 Regional Fame.

On top of that, three life pro gamers have finally received their first silver medals in their gaming careers!

Although it is a basic medal.

But it's also an achievement.

Chu Guang, who had finally finished the work, leaned back on the office chair and stretched.

Just as he was pondering which game to go to for a while, a post on the forum suddenly aroused his interest.

The title of the post is not gimmicky, or even mediocre, but the discussion is surprisingly hot.
