It's been three full days since the planner drew a pie about the "pet system" on the forum.

So far, apart from hundreds of articles on the forums about raising pets, no player has successfully tamed the xenos in the wasteland.

However, it cannot be said that there is no harvest at all.

At least during this time, Chu Guang had seen many new varieties that he had never seen before in the market at the north gate......

On the square in front of the sanatorium.

Looking at the spring commander who came back from outside, he was leaving people under the knife with the construction team to work, and laughed and teased.

"Brother Quanshui, have you caught the dead claws?"

Recently, the outpost has been heavily constructed, and the respawn point has become a large construction site to the north, on the one hand, many players have been promoted to intermediate citizens, and the area of land allowed to be purchased has been expanded to 50 square meters, and on the other hand, more and more NPCs are settling nearby.

As the chief architect of Wasteland OL, his construction skills proficiency has reached level 6!

It is said that you can unlock achievements at level 10, and you can enter the Hall of Fame at the first skill proficiency level, but from level 5 onwards, it is getting harder and harder to level up.

Before the commander of the spring could speak, the battlefield atmosphere group next to him cursed.

"Catch a chicken, go around all day, and hit six dogs! Knocked out a bunch of cockroaches and bloodsucking insects, and I didn't see a single death claw! ”

The spring commander also sighed.

"It's so hard to find it."

"I obviously followed the official strategy and touched several landmarks on the map that might appear to be deadclaws, but I found a bunch of strange things, but I couldn't find deathclaws!"

For example, the water treatment station they went to today, there was a collapse structure twenty meters below the surface, the radiation index was in the medium threat range, there was an abandoned backup reactor, and it was supposed that there would be a dead claw nest there.

However, when they went, they found that there were only some blood-sucking flying insects and cockroaches crawling all over the ground, and only the dull gnawers remained.

Luckily, due to the high level of xenomorph activity, there are still some items that can be recycled.

After clearing the xenomorphs there, the rewards of silver coins and contribution points obtained by reporting resource points are not bad, allowing them to make a small profit.

Otherwise, you won't even be able to earn back the money for bullets.

Although Izumi and the Battlefield were depressed, I was the darkest next to them, and my face was full of joy.

"Cool! Hahahaha! Lao Tzu is finally level 6! ”

"MMP, it's too difficult to upgrade this game!"

The other side.

In front of the market at the north gate, there was a large circle of people.

Akiba, who was sitting next to her sister, glanced curiously in the direction of the crowd.

There was a big crab lying there, its tall shell covered with dirty sludge and algae leaves.

At a glance, he recognized what the big guy was, and Akiba's saliva was dripping, and he pointed over there excitedly and said.

"Sister! Look over there! ”

Crab cakes!

Crab mashed potatoes!

There is also crab roe noodles!

In the coming week, there will definitely be a lot of good food in the market!

Looking in the direction that his sister was pointing, Akikusa's face was also full of surprise.

In her mind, the Clawed Crab was a very dangerous xenomorph, and even the bravest warriors and hunters in the tribe would not hunt it.

To be able to incorporate such terrifying monsters into their recipes and hunt one after another, these blue coats are so strong......

If only I could bring one back to the village.

Just when the sisters sighed in their hearts, they didn't know that these little players didn't actually want to kill this thing at all.

Instead, they plan to catch it as a pet.

It's just a pity that this crab is too difficult to deal with!

Like most arthropods, it is awake and able to maintain a strong will to fight until its life is completely ended.

Even though its legs were blown off and its shell was entangled in devil's silk, it still wielded its large pincers and attacked those who approached it with great speed.

In desperation, in order to reduce the loss, the edge paddling could only use an anti-armor wooden-handled grenade to kill the big guy that was hard to find.

At this moment, standing next to the big crab, the edge paddling is haggling with the tomato scrambled eggs.

The carcass of a claw crab can be sold for 400 silver, which is the purchase price of the NPC warehouse, and it is basically the guide price or reserve price of the market.

In the bazaar at the north gate, if there are other players who collect it, it is normal to float by 3%~10%.

Unless it's particularly sought-after prey, it's hard to get above 20%.

By the way, due to the decline in inventory, the price of the Iron Fist Bazooka has recently risen to 80 silver, and it is estimated that it will rise to 100 silver coins before it can stop.

Due to Brother Mole's post, which describes in detail the weaknesses of the clawed crab, many gambling dogs have been born in the new ones recently.

That is, save 80 silver coins to buy an Iron Fist Bazooka, find the clawed crab hiding in the hole and hibernate, and then give it a shot on the head.

If you can hit the door of the head, or even the side of the head, one hit is more than enough to kill, and it can ensure the integrity of the prey.

It sounds like a good opportunity to make a fortune.

But on the other hand, if this shot misses, or accidentally wakes up the split-claw crab.

There is also a probability of working for nothing......

“…… 410 silver, it can't be more, no matter how expensive I can't afford it. Hearing the 450 silver offer made by the edge stroke, the scrambled eggs with tomatoes shook their heads and gave their own prices.

As soon as he heard that his price had been cut by 40 silver, he couldn't help but paddle on the edge.

"Gan! When did you pick out like a mosquito with thick eyebrows and big eyes! ”

The big eye of debt also echoed on the side.

"That's it! A crab cake can be sold for 2 silver coins! This crab weighs one or two tons, so there's nothing wrong with getting 100 kilograms of crab meat, right? It's not too much to make 1,000 crab cakes, right? ”

The construction site boy and the bricks: "Damn, sell it for 2,000 silver!" A set of exoskeletons in hand! It's too dark, it's too dark. ”

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes rolled their eyes.

"You don't have to spend money to be green wheat? Seasoning doesn't cost money, right? Do you think someone will buy what you make? ”

"And how can it be so exaggerated, it is almost the same as being able to get 90 kilograms of crab meat, and now it's not autumn."

But there was one thing he didn't tell the truth.

Crab cakes are actually quite easy to sell.

After all, not all players will go back to the base for dinner, especially at noon, when most people are out and about.

Generally, new players don't have much money in their pockets, so they will bring a piece of wheat cake or jerky before going out, soak it in the water and eat it, and some more hardcore players choose to nibble directly.

This way of eating doesn't taste good, and the texture is almost non-existent, at most it can fill the stomach and prevent the debuff of low blood sugar from weakening the combat power.

Veteran players with a relatively wealthy economy will choose to spend one or two more silver coins to buy some steamed buns, steamed buns, meat buns and other foods, which are convenient and delicious, and the nutrition is more balanced. Maintain a healthy body for a long time, and you can also get a strength buff bonus of 1~5% attribute increase.

Crab cakes, which were born in the festival, are also a good choice. Whether it's sandwiched in bread or eaten straight, it provides a lot of calories and tastes great.

Even if it is an awakened person with a per capita rice bucket, two 200g crab cakes are basically full. Power players may have a bit more to eat, but the basic three loaves can be fed.

In the end, the big crab was sold for 420 silver coins.

The four people on the edge paddling side got 105 silver coins each, and even after deducting the ammunition consumed, the income was quite considerable.

The scrambled eggs with tomatoes were not idle, and they brought tongs, hammers, and steel nails, and prepared to start construction on the crab shells and get the crab meat inside.

Some life pro gamers and natives crouched next to them and watched curiously, ready to pick out some good-shaped crab shells and buy them for a silver coin or two to use as armor.

A crab shell as thick as a thumb can block three 7mm bullets at a distance of 100m.

If it is broken and wrapped in devil's silk, it can be made into a small piece of lining and stuffed in the clothes, and it can even produce the effect of composite bulletproof plates!

This unique equipment is also unique to the wasteland.

At this moment, the mosquito brother suddenly walked over, grabbed the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that were processing the claw crab and asked.

"Brother, is your crab shell still useful?"

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes were stunned.

"Crab shells? It's useless...... What do you want these things for? ”

The mosquito smiled.

"Naturally, I'm a little useful, how about selling me 10 silver coins?"

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes rolled their eyes.

"Fuck off, at least 50 silver coins, don't even think about it if you don't want to."

Mosquito: "Gan! You don't need it! ”

The scrambled eggs with tomatoes were angry and said, "Can I sell them to others?" You go and ask the people around you to see if anyone wants it. ”

I didn't pick up the cheap, and Mosquito looked regretful, but in the end I still paid for it.

Seeing this, the surrounding players immediately understood that their materials had been cut off by mosquitoes, and they scattered one after another.

Only the natives were still waiting there, not knowing what was going on.

"Let's talk about it first, don't break the shells in front, these shells are mine now."

Looking at the mosquito with a painful face, the scrambled eggs with tomatoes said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I know my technology. But then again, what's the use of you asking for so many crab shells? It's sturdy enough...... There's no steel to make, right? ”

"You don't understand this," said the mosquito with a smile, "how expensive steel is, a ton of steel costs thousands of silver coins!" The strength of this crab shell is not much worse than that of steel, the only drawback is that it is heavier, but it is not a big problem! ”

"The defense of this natural composite material against small arms has been tested in actual combat! I'm going to put an engine on it to drive a few machine legs, a gun barrel in front, and a machine gun on its back, which is no more than a living clawed crab cow batch? ”

After hearing this, the scrambled eggs with tomatoes were stunned on the spot, and they looked at the mosquitoes in surprise.

"it...... You're too tormentary, aren't you? ”

The mosquito smiled and said modestly.

"Low-key, low-key."

……

While the players are pondering how to make the most of the untamed xenomorphs, their dearest planners are also trying to figure out a way for them.

Niuma brick factory.

Chu Guang passed through Yang Ergou, the foreman here, and quickly found the gray wolf who had been captured earlier.

This guy voluntarily surrendered, and confessed the information of the Lion's Tooth Thousand People, and won leniency, although the punishment and labor could not be exempted, but the work of playing with mud was slightly easier.

Originally, when he was called over by Chu Guang, the gray wolf was still a little nervous.

After all, the body of the black snake is still hanging at the north gate.

Although he was not a subordinate of Black Snake, he was still panicked.

However, after hearing Chu Guang's intentions, the gray wolf breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

At least I'm still somewhat useful to these people.

It shouldn't be the same as the Black Snake......

"Xenos such as hyenas and wolves are very difficult to get rid of their wildness through ordinary domestication. If you want to tame them thoroughly, you have to start raising them from the cubs. ”

Chu Guang pondered for a moment and asked.

"How long does it take for a mutant hyena to grow up?"

The gray wolf replied.

"A year and a half, or two years."

It's going to be a year and a half at the earliest......

It's a little faster than the Legion clones, but it's too long.

Moreover, it is difficult for a simple hyena to form effective combat effectiveness, and it is stronger than mutant rats and cockroaches, or bullying brainless eaters.

The mutant snow wolf is slightly stronger, but the average combat power is only at the level of lv3, and the strength of a few individuals can reach lv5, which is also a wolf.

Spending two years, investing a lot of food and energy, and cultivating a lv3 combat power is really not cost-effective from the perspective of cost.

Pets are really pets.

It's still a bit difficult to be a war pet.

Chu Guang continued to ask.

"Is there any way to domesticate an adult hyena or a wolf?"

The expression on the gray wolf's face was a little embarrassed, and he nodded reluctantly.

"Yes, there is, but it's not easy...... And if you can't get rid of the wildness, it's hard to make them work. ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is a way."

As he spoke, Chu Guang threw him a VM with no task release function on it, only the recording function unlocked.

"You dictate the methods and experiences of domesticating and raising wild beasts, and if they can be useful, your sentence can be commuted."

The gray wolf had a happy expression and said immediately.

"Don't worry, sir! I'm going to tell you everything I know! ”

Chu Guang nodded.

"It was better to do so."

Later, he will ask Xiaoqi to organize the content of the recording into notes and update the database on the official website, which should provide some reference for his young players.

In fact, he expects his little players to domesticate some more awesome xenos than hyenas and wolves.

Chu Guang believed that as long as they were given enough time, with their ingenuity and brains, there would definitely be a way to do it.

……

A week has passed since Operation Spring Thunder, and the sunny weather in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City is still continuing, and the last heavy snowfall seems to have been two weeks ago.

Yesterday the snow was up to the knees, and today I can only bury my calves.

Everyone can feel that the cold winter is fading.

Frozen lives are being revived.

However, the threat from the north has not yet been lifted.

For the upcoming battle, both the players and the survivors in the northern suburbs are seizing the time to actively prepare for the battle.

However, as a manager, Chu Guang has to consider more than just military issues at this moment.

And next year's food production.

More and more factual arguments have proven that the awakened players are not only strong in combat, but also have an amazing amount of food.

In fact, not only after awakening, the original food consumed by players is 1.5~2 times that of the aborigines, and as the level increases, it can even reach an astonishing 3 times after reaching lv10.

Chu Guang didn't know whether to complain for a while, whether it was because the aborigines were too poor, or because his players were too good to eat.

If it weren't for the Black Snake sending a wave of express delivery, the little surplus grain in the warehouse might not be able to last until the end of next month The corn at the greenhouse site will be ripe.

In order to recruit more players into the game.

The reclamation of the wasteland north of Linghu Lake must be put on the agenda as soon as possible!

In the conference room of Changchang Farm, Luca meticulously reported the work to Chu Guang, who came to inspect the work.

"My lord, spring ploughing is about to begin, and although we have enough rifles, we cannot plow the land with bayonets and rifle butts."

"Those slaves...... I mean the prisoners of war, who, while they could do the harshest work of clearing the land, were too inefficient to plow with sticks and hands. Even if they are exhausted in the field, it is impossible to complete the production task. ”

"We need at least 1,200 sets of farm tools, including hoes, rakes, shovels, and some of the wagons for sowing seeds, as well as transport tools such as trolleys. Since there are not enough livestock, we may have to replace them with manpower. ”

Chu Guang pondered for a moment and asked.

"How much do we have in stock?"

Lukka said with a wry smile.

"My lord, how can we have it in stock...... The entire industrial zone is producing munitions at full capacity. The only one hundred and twenty sets of tools were brought from a few survivors' settlements, such as Highway Town, but their tools were of poor quality, less than half of them were iron. ”

Hearing the helplessness in Luca's tone, Chu Guang was slightly embarrassed.

The external survival pressure is there, and he admits that he did be a little reckless some time ago, but this is also something that cannot be helped.

Besides, it's not a bad thing.

The military industry has driven the steel production capacity, and the steel production capacity has gone up, so isn't it easy to build a few farm tools?

"I'll find a way to do this," Chu Guang thought for a moment and promised, "I'll try my best to scrape together three hundred sets of tools needed for clearing the wasteland within a week, and strive to fill all the gaps by the end of the month." What about our neighbors? Is there a way to borrow a little from them? ”

Lukka thought for a moment and said.

"Brown Farm should have it, but I'm afraid it's not enough. In my impression, even if you include indoor cultivation, their arable land area is less than 400 acres. ”

400 acres ......

Chu Guang shook his head.

"Too little."

From the north of Linghu Lake to the forest area of Yumu District, there are more than 100 square kilometers of wasteland, which is converted to 150,000 acres.

400 acres is enough to plug a gap.

In Chu Guang's plan, the first phase of the planned cultivated area of 30,000 mu will ensure that it can feed at least 30,000 people, and produce a part of the cash crops to supply the plant fiber, oil, rubber and other raw materials needed by the industrial zone.

It's not just a tool shortage.

Manpower is also a big issue.

In the absence of automation equipment, it is necessary to use manpower to pile up. It is roughly estimated that the reclamation of these 30,000 acres of land requires the mobilization of at least 1,000~3,000 manpower.

At present, there are about 700 prisoners of war who can be used.

There are currently more than 1,500 people in the homeless camp, but only half of them are young and middle-aged laborers, and some of them have been absorbed by the industrial zone.

The reason why the rifles and bullets in the hands of players can be sold so cheaply is inseparable from the sweat of these people on the assembly line.

Children under the age of 12 are not useful, and it is estimated that 400~500 people can be made up even if women and the elderly who are able to work are put into production.

After pondering for a moment, Chu Guang pondered.

"You can assign a part of the production tasks to players who like farming, and design a unique farming career gameplay."

"If it works well, you can apply for more land."

But farming is a technical job.

And patience is required.

Farming in "Wasteland OL" is still very different from penguin farms.

Planting and harvesting vegetables is not just a matter of two clicks with the mouse, not only do you have to sow the seeds, but you also have to water them regularly, fertilize them, remove insects, and drive away the unique alien species from the wasteland, and guard against extreme weather on the wasteland.

The climate in the wasteland isn't as smooth as it is in reality.

Even in the less radioactive suburbs, two clouds of unusual colors occasionally drift through the sky. It's fine when it's not raining, but when it rains, it's bad......

After listening to Luca's report, Chu Guang continued to look at the wrench waiting on the side, judging from the expression on his face, he should have good news to tell him.

Without waiting for the manager to ask, the wrench saw that Luca had finally finished speaking, and immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to speak.

"My lord, I have an important matter to report to you here!"

"Say."

Restraining the joy in his heart, Wrench said excitedly.

"The marauders stationed in Far Creek Town have withdrawn!"

Withdrawn?

Chu Guang was slightly stunned, and then his face changed.

it!

Let these dogs run away!
