“NO！！！ I don't believe it! I don't admit it! This is not true!! ”

No. 404 in the Boulder City office, has been renovated in the living room on the third floor.

When he saw the photo taken by Si Si risking death, the disillusioned Fujito let out a short cry of sorrow.

After dropping that sentence, she ran back to her room like a gust of wind and slammed the door shut.

The kerosene lamp on the wooden coffee table flickered gently, and the shadows of mutated fruits and squirrel biscuits piled on iron plates stretched out.

The four people sitting at the table looked at each other.

Sesame paste blushed and said, "Actually, it's pretty good-looking?" ”

This sentence was originally intended to comfort Fujito.

But now it seems that she has been a little bit in the making.

Siss's expression was subtle: "Emmm...... It is impossible to deny it, but maybe this beauty is not the effect that Fujito wants. ”

"It seems that I'm not the only one who thinks that the design of this dress is very bold," Crow stared at the photo for a while, and muttered quietly, "I also seriously reflected on whether I was too dirty." ”

Tail said with a whim.

"Could it be that Fujito actually has a talent that she didn't discover herself?"

Si Si admonished.

"It's best not to say this to me."

Tail: "Whew! ”

Looking at the tightly closed wooden door, Sesame Paste said with some concern.

“…… Does it really matter? ”

Sis: "Emmm...... Do you mean rattan rattan or Lao Bai and Fang Chang them? ”

Sesame paste: "Huh? ”

Crow immediately understood what Si Si meant, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the vine is very generous!" There will be no grudges! ”

Are you sure?

The corners of Sisi's mouth curled into an imperceptible smile, and he got up from the sofa quietly, stretched and said.

"I'm a little sleepy, I'll go down first."

Fake.

She's not sleepy at all.

The main thing is that I want to go to the forum to see the excitement.

Bedtime chats end early.

The time in the game is already 9 o'clock in the evening, and the real time is exactly 9 o'clock in the morning. Since I lay down at six o'clock last night, it's time to get up and move.

Sesame Paste picked up a plate of squirrel cookies and stood up.

"I'll take some and feed the meat."

Because it is a "pet", the meat can only stay with the two-headed cow, and cannot go out on the street at will, nor can it live in the street where people live.

Fortunately, it is not far from the reservoir area, otherwise it would be too pitiful.

Lying on the table with a yawning tail, he was going to go to sleep, but when he heard that the meat was being fed, he suddenly stood up with a pout, and said with bright eyes.

"I'll go with you!"

……

Official website forum.

Today is as lively as ever.

The Mole Guy is talking about the anecdotes of his trip in a post, accompanied by a few hand-drawn illustrations of his own.

As they pass through Junk City, they encounter a group of mercenaries claiming to be the Chewy Bone Tribe, armed with Legion weapons and a Conquistador tank.

Due to language barriers and many other reasons, it wasn't until they captured these mercenaries that they figured out that this group of people was not from the Chewing Bone Tribe, but a group of mercenaries who were fake.

The reason why he called himself the Chewing Bone Tribe was to take the opportunity to blackmail those passing caravans. And the "Conqueror" tank is made of wood......

In addition to Brother Mole, there are many other interesting posts.

Irena and Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes are exchanging cooking skills across servers, and Macabazo is sharing how she uses her talent as a "planter" to communicate with plants. I've never heard of such an outrageous thing, and it's ridiculous to hear it when I am bored and fighting tigers.

There are also discussions on the cultivation of tobacco and corn, debates on how to make piston aero engines from simple materials, and exchanges on the efficient preparation techniques of black sokin and polyisobutylene.

And just then, a line of posts popped up in the forum.

Fujito: "@白驹过隙@来日方长@......"

Night Ten: "What are you doing?" Aite: What's the matter with me? I'll be straight up if you want to. (Funny)"

Fujito: "Miss you! Light up your weapons! (╯‵□′)✄╰ひ╯”

Lao Bai: "? ”

Fang Chang: "?? ”

Tempest: "??? ”

Night Ten: "!! ∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ”

Irena: "Surprised, what did you do to the cute Fujito?" (Funny)"

Elf King Fugui: "Shock, is this a distortion of human nature or a moral degradation?" (Funny)"

Just when everyone was confused about this post and guessed what was going on, Crow suddenly popped up.

Raven: "Hahahaha, I'll show you something good." o(*≧▽≦)ツ(picture)(image)(image)(image)"

Raven: "Huh??? I didn't work last time, but this time I really passed the trial? ”

The mole in the canyon is on the run: "it! Isn't this much bigger than what I painted?! ”

Debt-ridden eyes: "(Nosebleed)"

Commander Izumi: "If you don't understand, just ask, is this something you can see without paying?" ”

Fujito: "You LSPs! Isn't this dress intended for this kind of occasion at all? Wouldn't it feel weird? (╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻”

Night Ten: "Huh? It was an accident, but I felt ...... Seems to be quite appropriate unexpectedly? ”

Fujito: "Die!" (Angry)"

Night 10: "QAQ"

Facts have proved that chatting in earnest can never stimulate the enthusiasm of the people who eat melons more than driving.

A few photos instantly increased the number of pre-registered players.

It's even better than the PV publicity!

Although the crow boss deleted the post at the speed of light under the threat of Fuji Teng, with the speed of sand sculpture netizens, the photo had already been saved.

Just when the posts on the forum were frantically swiping the screen, in the small group of the Cow and Horse Club, it was also lively here.

Night Ten: "Gan! Didn't the NPC who said that Fuji Vine's artwork was bought by the nobles of the inner city? How did you end up in a nightclub! ”

Tempest: "I think about it, but the NPC didn't say that. (Squint)"

Fang Chang: "Blame me, it's my speculation that I sold the inner city...... I thought that the mercenaries would not buy such clothes that were inconvenient to move, and the residents of the outer city could not afford to buy them at all, and they could only be bought by the nobles of the inner city, but I did not expect that they would be sold to nightclubs, this was my mistake. (embarrassing)"

This thing is really to blame, when I wrote the strategy, I wrote hi, and the cowhide was blown too big.

If it weren't for the expectations given, I am afraid I would not have been so disappointed.

I hope Fujito doesn't get too depressed.

But think about it.

Soft power needs to be supported by hard power.

Boulder City has been the big brother in the southern part of the entire River Valley Province for a century, not to mention the northern suburbs, even if the survivor settlements of the entire River Valley Province are no different from hillbilly villages in their eyes.

Unless you wear these clothes on the merchants of Ideal City.

But Fang Chang always felt that this was probably more difficult than convincing the people of the inner city of Megalith City to accept new things.

Lao Bai: "At the scene of a large-scale social death, I didn't dare to bubble. (embarrassing)"

Night Ten: "@光, Brother Guang helps!" Fujito is going to kill! Quickly send an announcement to divert everyone's attention! QAQ”

Hikari: "Okay. (Squint)"

Lao Bai: "!! ”

Fang Chang: "!! ”

WC really has mosquitoes: "? Is Ah Guang your own father?! ”

Tempest: "Ah Guang is really peeping at the screen." (Squint)"

Night Ten: "Ah Guang is bullying!" (Surprise)"

Quit smoking: "Damn, you're too good at licking, I can't stand it!" ”

Night Ten: "Fuck off! Can this be called licking? It's called heartfelt gratitude! ”

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "Vomit vomit!" ”

Turning off the group chat, Chu Guang took a look at the forum and roughly understood what was going on.

Although there are some deviations from the script I expected, how can I say it?

He didn't think it was entirely bad.

Although the artwork of the vine hut did not conquer the hearts of the people of the inner city, at least it conquered the night of Boulder City.

Even the nobles of the inner city of Boulder City can't live in Rig every night. The emperor can't help but sneak out of the palace to play, let alone the courtiers in the palace?

It's just that most of the time, they don't let the general public know.

Add to that the mercenaries and merchants who made a fortune from trade, and if the "artworks" of the small players could become popular among them, maybe not only Boulder City, but also those goods would be sold further afield.

That's going to be a much broader market.

And that's a good start.

"For the sake of this father, the announcement will be sent out a day in advance."

Looking at the cattle and horse squads who were being chased by Fuji Teng, Chu Guang couldn't help but smile, and clicked the mouse with his index finger.

Just when the melon-eating crowd and LSPs on the forum were frantically circulating the photos taken by the big boss, an announcement suddenly popped up.

[Wasteland OL Sealed Beta Server Alpha1.1 Version Update Announcement.] 】

There was not the slightest sign of it. valley

Every update of "Wasteland Online" is so caught off guard.

The people who were still exchanging learning materials one second immediately attracted all their attention the next second by this heavy news.

[Major Update:

1. The number of players in the closed beta has been increased to 1,500.

2. Wave system!

】

【

Optimize:

1. The richer NPC shop is now open for purchase of neural connection equipment, and the most basic unmanned reconnaissance vehicle requires an intelligence attribute of more than 15.

2. The in-game season enters spring, more vegetation and wildlife, and the night will no longer be safe!

3. Fix a small number of bugs.

4.……

】

[Detailed explanation of the "wave" system: The suitable environment in the urban area will lead to the rapid reproduction of the mutant slime mold, and when the spore concentration in the air reaches a certain threshold, it will cause the incubation room in a stable state to produce a probabilistic mutation and form a new mother nest. The predictive wave will happen in the next two weeks, so be prepared for this to be the toughest test since the launch of the server! 】

[New NPC Added: Yu Hu from Bet Street will join Vault 404 as an experienced and calm hunter who is proficient in trap making and tracking prey. 】

[In addition, the Hunter Guild was officially established, and the first president will be Yu Hu, congratulations to the Hunter players for now having their own organization!] 】

Dev Diary: Alpha 1.1

Light: "Hello everyone, this new version is quite hard-won, in fact, we planned to use version 1.01 before, but thanks to the strength of our potato supplier, now we have more potatoes...... I mean server resources. ”

"In short, the new version will give birth to 400 lucky winners, and this time the closed beta qualification announcement will be a little later, and it is expected to be announced after the launch tomorrow."

"The entire team at Wasteland Online promises you that while we're still in the early stages of our business, we're still doing our best to provide as many experiences as possible for our young players in the closed beta, and to make the game world as complete as possible. The long-awaited open beta version will also arrive at the final stage of the game's development. ”

"In fact, we already have a specific timeline, but it involves corporate secrets, so it's not convenient to make it public."

"Next is the note about the new version, where we have introduced a completely new concept in the game - Wave. While most of our players are pitted against the Wasteland in the early stages of the game, it's not just the Wastelanders armed with thermal weapons that are the most threatening, but also the terrifying mutated creatures. After a long winter's silence, they have become hungry, whether it is Deathclaw or slime mold. ”

"During the duration of the wave, the slime mold mutant will multiply wildly, and the high concentration of spores will even form a misty spore cloud in the air. Excessive intake can lead to respiratory infections and even some tissue lesions, so it is recommended that players with low physique wear gas masks as much as possible when exploring deep into urban areas, and players with physique sequences should not take it lightly. ”

"Searching and removing is the only way to end the wave, and we cannot expect them to disappear into thin air, let alone watch them destroy the homes we built with our hands."

"The 'Hunters' Guild was born!"

"Claim the Hunter class, search for the source of the spore release and clear out potential dangers to earn great rewards and unlock rare achievements and medals!"

"The information about the mother nest, hatching room, and mutant slime mold has been updated in the official website database, for more details on the gameplay, please explore it yourself in the game!"

……

The first day the new version goes live.

The number of hunter players doubled in an instant.

Except for the lack of reaction from the life pro players, almost all combat pro players have a hunter profession on their heads and registered as a member of the hunter union.

As the president of the Hunters' Guild, Yu Hu did not live up to the expectations of the players, and used the budget allocated to him by Chu Guang to find some experienced hunters from Bate Street, teach the players the skills of hunting and tracking prey, and organize the players to go to Qingquan City to carry out search missions.

More than 200 hunters divided into more than 50 teams set off from the Huayuan Street subway station in three different directions, and launched a carpet search towards the area of the 5th to 4th Ring Road in Qingquan City, looking for the source of the spores.

The combat effectiveness and resilience of slime myxomycetes were positively correlated with the concentration of spores in the air. When spore clouds weaken the light on the surface to a certain extent, it will no longer be safe even during the day.

It is not realistic to strangle the wave in the cradle, and most of the xenospecies that make up the wave come from mature broods, which are usually located in the city center and are even more than a century old.

However, if the mutated hatchery can be found and destroyed before a new nest can be formed, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the concentration of spores in the air in the northern suburbs, thereby weakening the strength of the wave and the fighting power of the gnawers.

This was Hea's speculation.

It was also the first task that Chu Guang gave to the Hunter Guild.

As the battle pros were heading towards the city of Kiyosen, the exit from the B3 floor of Vault 404 was busy.

Several young players from the strength and physique departments were dragging the pallet trucks used to transport goods, moving the training pods from the shelter to the tunnel outside the entrance.

These pods were lined up in front of the outpost at the entrance, and not far from these pods was a truck that had just been assembled.

This is the latest work of Goblin Technology.

Since the owner of the order was a respected manager, the truck also received a slightly more normal name - "electric mule".

As the name suggests, this is an all-electric truck. In appearance, it is basically a light truck modeled after the Legion, but the length of the cargo box has been increased, and the pot camel machine has been replaced with a battery and motor.

The structure of the vehicle adopts the conventional layout of the steel cab and wooden body, with a total weight of up to 4.3 tons, with 4 wheels and a body nearly 5 meters long, the engine output can reach a maximum of 80 horsepower, and the rated maximum load capacity is 1.8 tons, in fact, overloading to 3 tons is not a big problem!

In addition to the advantages of 0 displacement, excellent endurance and low noise, the car has excellent off-road performance, and the design of the high chassis can well adapt to rough terrain.

Not only that, but the connecting parts reserved at the front of the car can also be used to weld bulletproof versions and machine guns.

The planks on both sides of the cargo box are also designed to be unfolded on the outside, making it easy to mount four anti-aircraft guns on a truck.

This medium-sized transport card can be turned into an armed truck at any time if needed!

In addition to its domineering appearance and wide range of uses, the technical content of this truck is also not low.

The energy storage components are 102 solid-state hydrogen battery packs of the same type as the KV-1, with a total weight of up to 102 kg, which are installed in the rear box of the truck for easy disassembly and replacement.

And this is also the first order from the shelter that the Liszt plant has received since it was put into operation!

Different from fuel trucks, the structure of pure electric trucks will be relatively simple, and the core technology is basically concentrated in energy storage, and there are no major technical difficulties in power components.

Therefore, in addition to the battery, other components, including motors, are basically "independently developed" by large and small workshops and factories in the industrial zone.

The only drawback of this truck is probably that the energy is not easily obtained.

Unlike the wood-burning pot camel machine, the "No. 102 battery pack" used in this truck is expensive, and the production cost of one set alone is as high as 12,000 silver coins.

Not only that, but the electricity outside the shelter is mainly generated by thermal power, which in the final analysis is wood burning. Until the energy structure is improved, there is an additional energy conversion process out of thin air, and electric trucks will consume more firewood.

However, given the ventilation in the tunnel, this is also a last resort. After all, it's impossible to move a wood-burning truck underground.

If you do that, I'm afraid that you won't be able to run for long, and everyone will have carbon monoxide poisoning.

"How much does this truck cost?"

The silver sword that put down the cultivation cabin, raised his arm to wipe the sweat on his head, and looked at the truck not far away and couldn't help but sigh.

The silver father, who was standing on the side, said with a cheap smile.

"I don't know, but I just know you can't afford it."

Silver Sword: "Gan, what am I buying this thing for?" I'm curious to ask, no. ”

Silver Hand: "I'd rather like to know where these pods go." ”

The Silver Sword thought for a moment and said, "Eighty percent is Vault 117!" ”

"Vault 117?" The Silver Hand looked surprised, "What are you doing there?" ”

Silver Daddy: "You're stupid! Aside from the 100 or so rooms on the B floor, is there a place for Vault 404? If the operator does not open a new server, it will have to move the resurrection points of new players to other shelters! ”

Silver Hand: "Hell, aren't we the last of the players in Vault 404?" ”

Silver Sword: "Not necessarily, if the 4th layer is opened again, it will be 600 good brothers...... However, this game is also too realistic, and the respawn points have to be transported by veteran players. ”

Daddy Silver sighed, "Indeed, it's really true...... Lao Tzu is a player and a father, and he has never been so worried about playing other games. ”

As soon as he said this, he received two rolls of the eyes.

Angry at the thought of ID, the two decided to ignore the pit for an hour.

……

All 400 training chambers are on display in the tunnel.

The "e-mule" medium-sized transport card will deliver the pods to Vault 117 under the Garden Street tube station in eight installments at a rate of 50 units per trip.

As a result of the player's continued efforts, the tunnel from Vault 404 to Vault 117 has been completely opened, and the mutated creatures and hatcheries along the way have been completely cleared.

The 7-kilometer-long tunnel takes an hour on foot, but if you take the Iron Horse 60, it will take you about 10 minutes at an average speed of 30 yards per hour.

New players will be resurrected at Vault 117, located below the Garden Street MRT station.

There are controlled fusion reactors, and wireless power facilities can power the incubators.

Vault 117 has complete living facilities, and the underground passage can be connected to Vault 404, which is very convenient for transportation.

In addition, the save points of the Outpost and the Long Farm have been equipped with 200 dormant bins, as well as a public hotel that can be used to lie down, ready to meet the needs of players offline.

As for the management of the newcomers, there is no need to worry about it at all.

After obtaining Vault 117 administrator privileges, the entire Vault management system has been connected to Vault 404's main server.

Chu Guang authorized part of his authority to Xiao Qi.

The camera in the shelter has almost no dead spots, and as long as it is within the signal coverage of the shelter, he can keep track of the situation in the shelter at any time.

If something happens, Xiaoqi will also notify him as soon as possible.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Chu Guang even granted it the right to deal with emergencies.

In the event of a special circumstance above a moderate violation, Xiaoqi can directly cut off the power of a specific number of cultivation cabins in accordance with the management regulations, and then report the "fault".

The entire process will be completed within 2 to 3 frames, and will be noted in the Shelter Regulations as a "circuit breaker".

To put it bluntly, it is to unplug the network cable.

It took a whole morning, and with the cooperation of the players and NPCs, the 400 training pods were finally delivered to Vault 117 and placed in separate rooms.

After doing these things, Chu Guang immediately started the synthesis program and began to generate the clones of the players.

The 400 newcomers will be online in three days, half of them are combat pros and half are life pros.

The battle against xenomorphs tests not only the combat effectiveness of the Vault, but also the logistical capabilities.

Chu Guang not only needs a large number of combat professional players to fill the battle line, but also needs a steady stream of bullets and shells to be sent to the front line.

Only in this way can the safety of the rear be guaranteed.

For this batch of fresh little leeks, Chu Guang gave high expectations.

Looking at the door of Vault 117, he said with a relieved smile on his face wearing the power armor of the previous manager.

"Not surprisingly, this should be the last group of players in the B round of testing."

"If the idea of sending the cultivation pod to other shelters as a resurrection point is feasible, we can focus on searching for information about the shelters in the future."

At this moment, Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came from the communication channel.

"Master!"

Without waiting for Chu Guang to ask what was the matter, Xiao Qi continued immediately.

"The players you sent to scout around the Fifth Ring Road seem to have found something amazing......"
