Dawning City Prison.

Sitting in a dark cell, Bernie's face was full of haggard and dejected.

He could understand the failure of the expedition to the Great Rift, they did underestimate the strength of the Great Rift Valley and underestimated the Aegis system.

Even after two centuries, the shield was still beyond the reach of their cannonballs, and their clone army unleashed a fearless charge, but it still failed to change the tide of battle.

Under the firepower of the Great Rift Valley, their 10,000-strong fleet was annihilated in formation.

However, what Bernie couldn't understand was why even a mediocre survivor settlement was so hard to bite if he couldn't win the Great Rift Valley.

At this time, footsteps could be heard in the corridor outside the prison.

Bernie looked up and saw a familiar face, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

“…… Vanus? ”

Vanus sighed.

"Sure enough, it's you...... Is Dillon okay? ”

Hearing his boss's name, a wry smile appeared on Bernie's face.

"No wonder...... Seeing you here has answered some of my questions. ”

Knowing that this guy had credited himself with the victory, Vanus shook his head.

"It has nothing to do with me, I'm just making a plan step by step and using the most modest tactics...... However, they exceeded my expectations. ”

Bernie was silent for a moment.

"I remember you were ordered to intercept the Trailblazer."

Vanus nodded.

"Yes."

Bernie didn't ask about the final result.

Because there is no need to ask at all.

This guy was standing here, not shackled on his hands, and even hanging a VM with the same style as the blue coats, and there was no doubt that his body and mind had changed into the shape of those people.

Seeing that Bernie didn't speak, Vanus walked over to the window of the cell and continued to speak to himself.

"During my time in captivity, I was sent to work in a brick factory, and at first I thought they were going to humiliate me in this way, but in the end I realized that it was not what I had originally thought."

"I worked with survivors from the neighborhood who taught me how to make mud bricks from bricks, how to burn mud bricks into bricks, how to build bricks into houses ......"

Vanus paused for a moment.

"I still remember that co-worker, and I remember the day he told me that he had finally had his own house through his efforts, and what kind of color his eyes were when he planned to take his family over when the winter passed...... That's something I've never seen in my territory. ”

"At first I didn't understand what the color was written in his pupils, but it wasn't until later that I came to understand that it was hope for the future."

"They have chosen a path that is very different from ours, one that allows even the lowest-living wastelanders to attain equality and dignity. The people who live here are willing to give everything for the ground under their feet, even to the last drop of blood. ”

"You're up against a group of warriors of faith who know exactly what they're fighting for, and you still think you're losing because of a few tactical mistakes?"

Bernie's Adam's apple moved.

After pondering for a long time, he said with a wry smile.

"Are you here to make fun of your old friend?"

"Nope."

Vanus turned to look at him.

"An invitation, to be exact."

……

The night is getting late.

As players go offline one after another, the official website forum of "Wasteland Online" is buzzing with activity at the moment.

Many players were thrilled with the epic victory during the day, describing the situation on the forums.

Before, everyone bragged that they could only dictate in words, and they couldn't get dry goods, and the cloud players listened to it all by their own brains, although they said that they were awesome, and they were really envious in their hearts, but how shocking it was, In fact, it was just like that, mainly relying on the cake drawn by the official PV to satisfy their hunger.

Now it's different.

Since the development of paid functions such as "game screenshots" and "squad voice", everyone bragged that they no longer had to type, and they were done with the picture directly.

Of course, for the sake of harmony and love, the blood will be replaced with pink paint, and R16 and some sensitive images will limit the synchronization.

After all, there is no "dream filter" when you take off your helmet, and you may not be scared when you dream of breaking your arm or leg in your dream, but it is not impossible to see it scared on the spot in reality.

Picking up trash level 99: "...... It's too late, it's too late, and the marauder just pointed the gun at me, and I just shoveled it, and took two of them in an instant! Don't brag, there are 100 heads in ten minutes, and the xenomorph sequence is really chicken-strong! (bared teeth)"

Ye Ao Nai me: "Laugh to death, that's it?" Ten minutes and a hundred heads are embarrassed to pretend? Have you ever heard of the Dragon Group? It's normal for children to haven't heard of it, my brother is from the dragon group. He told me that one of the best in their team could kill a company with a dagger, and ten minutes was enough for him to kill two rounds. ”

Picking up garbage Level 99: "(Sweaty Soybeans)"

Night Ten: "Uh, dragon sniper?" I do. (Funny)"

Irena: "If you don't understand, just ask, does your brother have a nickname called Shura, and the corners of his mouth rise ninety degrees before every shot." (Funny)"

Elf King Fugui: "Ministry of Foreign Affairs: I advise you kid not to talk nonsense, this is not an intranet." (Funny)"

As always.

Every time there is a big event or a major update on the official website, the proud brothers will run out and start a group mockery when everyone is pretending to be high, and then immediately disappear from the forum, no matter how others don't pay attention to it, just like a gopher.

Both gamers and cloud gamers have become accustomed to it, and no one cares about it.

Soon Junjun continued to talk about his heroic achievements, but at this moment, the battle report and settlement information of Qingshi County's victory suddenly logged on to the official website.

Picking up trash level 99: "? Is it so fast this time?! ”

Quit smoking: "Planning to bully bullying!" ”

Normally, you have to wait until the next day to see the battle report, but this time it came out on the same night for the first time.

To everyone's surprise, the highest score on the battlefield this time turned out to be the Storm Legion.

As the first corps to break through the defense line in the city and attack the enemy's headquarters, the Storm Corps captured Liontooth and other bandit leaders alive in the face of fierce enemy resistance, and gained a lot of extra points.

But that's not the decisive factor.

The weight that really determines its war score is its lightning-fast advance in street battles with marauders in the city.

With his excellent command, Brother Quanshui led the team to destroy two hundred-man teams in a row, and it only took half the expected time to penetrate all the defense lines from the southern part of Qingshi County to the enemy's headquarters.

It is no exaggeration to say that the outstanding combat performance of the Storm Corps in the battle has advanced the end of this battle by at least an hour.

Based on the casualties and ammunition consumption, the command gave it an evaluation of 23,000 points!

In second place is the Mole Brother's Skeleton Corps, which received a high rating for its outstanding performance in the storm, and the third is the Death Corps.

Although the latter had a high kill count and cleared the hidden dangers hidden in the corridors and alleys, close to 30% of the battle damage lowered their total score.

As for the Goblin Corps of Mosquitoes, it is in fourth place.

It is undeniable that the rockets launched by it and the repeated air strikes by the aircraft have caused heavy losses to the Lion's Tooth tribe stationed in Qingshi County.

However, the goblin corps' own battle losses were not low.

In the end, the player who managed to drive the plane back was not even 30 percent ......

As for the Burning Corps, because the ambush battle at Songlinyu was not settled together with the siege battle in Qingshi County, but was settled separately as two battles, it was ranked fifth.

WC really has mosquitoes: "Gan! There are so many heads in our group! MVP, why not me! (Crazy)"

Commander of Quanshui: "You don't understand this, fighting a war is not scalping, how can it be counted according to the head." If you really want to count it according to the number of people, whoever digs trenches and guards the point goes to reason, they all rush to the front, and who cares about the back. (proud)"

Night Ten: "The ammunition consumption is too much, you smashed this round of rockets, and the logistics rose directly to the sky in place." (Funny)"

The mole in the canyon is on the run: "That's it! Just looking at the head is useful, the first line of defense is still captured by me! ”

Edge paddling: "Anyway, how many planes did you fly back?" ”

WC really has mosquitoes: "Is there a good brother who knows when the campaign reward will arrive, hehe." ”

Quit smoking: "Holy! This topic is too blunt! ”

Luo Yu: "This broken plane is too difficult to drive." ”

Paddling on the edge: "Hey, everyone says that Lao Tzu is a black car, who is the black car!" ”

Property Killer: "Hmm, the ammunition consumption of our jungle corps seems to be a bit high, scratch your head." ”

The ranking of battlefield scores is for reference only.

Campaign rewards will be calculated based on the performance of each corps in each stage of the mission, using a fixed formula.

Based on the total score of the player's legion, the server will directly issue a basic reward containing a large number of credits and contribution points to the player.

The Captain can also award 1~3 rank meritorious services to players with outstanding performance according to their performance in battle, so that they can get an additional reward of 50~150% on the basis of the original reward.

The number of Meritorious Deeds that can be awarded in a campaign is tied to the number of points a corps has earned in the campaign. As for who to give the specific reward, Chu Guang left the choice to the commanders of each corps to decide.

Under the existing system, there is no cost for players to enter and exit the army.

Corps with clear rewards and punishments will naturally become more and more courageous, and Corps that cannot even achieve the most basic rewards and punishments will naturally gradually be marginalized.

Letting the corps commanders handle the internal affairs of the corps by themselves is not only the power that Chu Guang has given to the corps commanders, but also a test of their organizational ability.

As the number of players increases and the level grows, the outstanding corps will soon develop into a battalion, regiment or even a group of divisions.

Chu Guang will update the version as needed.

As for whether or not it can adapt to the version, that's the player's own business.

Of course, with the exception of merit that is decided within each legion, this campaign, as usual, will be awarded to players by the official Vault.

Although in the current version, the main part of the war is the individual corps, but the power of the individual cannot be ignored.

As the first team battle above the regimental level since the launch of "Wasteland Online", a total of 375 tabula rasa medals and 12 special medals were born in this battle.

These special honors come with hefty additional rewards, which are awarded by the Sanctuary to individuals who have distinguished themselves in the campaign.

For example, it is difficult to be strong.

As an underground worker active behind enemy lines, the information provided by the strongman and the chaos he created behind the battlefield played a key role in the victory of the war.

And for this, he also received the only golden "Eagle Eye Medal" on the server.

It is difficult for a strong man: "Hahaha, who dares to say that Lao Tzu's sequence is chicken!" Is it good to have a strong batch! (proud)"

Night Ten: "It's useful, but this sequence can't be chosen by ordinary people." (Funny)"

Quit smoking: "What about your little brother?" ”

Strongman's difficulty: "Out of the way!" Anyway, I'll be alive tomorrow, and I'll be a wave of corpses when I go back! (laughs)"

……

Vault Medical Laboratory.

Chu Guang, who started from the scanning bed, saw the updated attribute panel through the tablet.

Last night he was sweating again, and when he got up, he came to Heya without saying a word.

Sure enough.

Thanks to the excellent performance of the players in the campaign, he has been upgraded again.

【

】

“…… This time, the development progress of the sequence actually increased by 2%. ”

Sitting on the chair opposite Chu Guang, Heya gently shook her silver-white hair and looked him up and down curiously.

"I'm not surprised by now, the only thing that baffles me is how your sequence progression works."

"Isn't that what I taught you?" Being stared at a little uncomfortably by the straight gaze, Chu Guang picked up the shirt that was on the head of the bed and put it on himself.

Hea nodded and continued.

"Well, I have a few conjectures so far, but there is not enough evidence yet."

"You just tell me what's the best possibility."

"Brood."

The hand pulling the zipper stopped, and Chu Guang cast a puzzled look at her.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you think that your evolution pattern is a little bit similar to that of the brood, which I was inspired by when I was researching the brood?"

Hea continued with interest.

"The brood releases specific evolutions to unify the surrounding fruiting bodies, and the fruiting bodies evolve in the process of devouring, and the brood, as the commander tower of the fruiting bodies, grows from the evolution of the fruiting bodies...... Although the analogy is a bit far-fetched. ”

Chu Guang: "...... I think it's more than a little far-fetched. ”

"Well, after all, my knowledge of the form-forming field technique is a blank," Heya shrugged helplessly, "It would be nice if you could get more detailed information." ”

Chu Guang: "I also hope that I will tell you as soon as I have news." ”

As a "singularity-class" technology preserved in Vault 404, the only information he has so far about the formation field of the form is a single audio clip containing only a few words.

There are many possibilities that can be guessed, but until there is sufficiently rigorous evidence, they can only be conjectures.

Like Schrödinger's cat.

Only after the box is opened, can you know what is inside the box.

As for now.

Lacking enough clues, curiosity is useless.

After leaving the medical laboratory, Chu Guang returned to the browsing room, took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator, and sat on the sofa to log in to the official website of "Wasteland Online".

Just as he expected.

For the first battle above the regimental scale of "Wasteland Online", players are excited like 200-pound children, and the forum is lively like the New Year.

Especially Xiaoqi uploaded the edited battle video, from the air to the ground, and then to the narrow building, the extreme details rendered are just like the real battlefield!

The players have already had a good time in the game, and the cloud players have also had a good time.

The people who were still hesitating to eat melons couldn't hold back their loneliness, and took out the precious ten minutes of their lives to fill out a form.

Although only more than 30 numbers are released every day, what if it is drawn?

Driven by sentiment, the number of pre-registered players has increased significantly.

However, compared to the huge base of players who have pre-booked, the five-digit increase is not so significant.

"It's not much more burning than 2042!"

"Don't say anything, even if it's cutting leeks, I admit it, when will the entrance to krypton be opened? I'll charge it 5 cents first! ”

"Thousands of people on the same screen PVE, but unfortunately there is no PVP mode, or it is not necessarily more exciting."

"Don't think about PVP, there is only one that can join the camp at the moment, but the AI in this game is a bit bullish, and there is no difference in playing PVE."

"+1, it's a waste of such a bullish technology to make a game. (Funny)"

Passing over the comments that were not nutritious, Chu Guang flipped down and found that many players were studying the campaign scoring mechanism and the formula for calculating the campaign income.

Although he has never made any of this public, players can still draw some patterns from the information that has been disclosed.

For example, Brother Fang.

Less than two hours after the battle report was launched, the strategy about the updated corps system and campaign income soon appeared on the forum.

“…… Long story short, two important points. One is about the Corps and the other is about the players in the Corps system. ”

"Many people should have noticed in this campaign that the addition of points in the corps system not only determines the growth route of the corps, but also determines the tasks that the corps may receive in specific battles."

"For example, a corps with a higher degree of armor is more likely to trigger a fortified mission. The more mobile the corps, the easier it is to trigger interspersed missions. Players who take the support route have little chance of going to the front line, either flying planes or firing artillery in the back. ”

"The war score is more determined by the completion of each stage, and the KPI assessment criteria are different for different types of tasks. For example, in the task of tackling tough problems, the weight item is the speed of breakthrough. For example, in the Street Fight mission, the weight item is Battle Damage. Support missions require accuracy of firepower, etc., ......"

"After the beta version, the division of labor of each corps will be clearer, and the calculation of scores will be closer to reality. As for the capture of important targets, the interception of important intelligence, the annihilation of enemy units outside of intelligence in the encounter, etc., these are not involved in the stage assessment, but are used as additional points, which are directly calculated on the final total score. ”

"In a word, as long as the standard amount of ammunition is used within the specified time and the respective combat missions are completed, a high war score can be obtained."

"At the same time, the base income that players earn in the campaign is mainly determined by this score."

"If you want to get more bang for your buck, you have to get a higher score for your team. For individuals who perform well in battle, the corps commander can also give them 50%, 100%, and 150% additional rewards by virtue of the authority in his hand. ”

"Although the corps commander can decide who to award meritorious service based on his own subjective judgment, the number of meritorious services that can be awarded is linked to the battlefield score."

"In other words, if there is no clear distinction between rewards and punishments, the cohesion of the corps will decline, and it will be difficult to obtain a higher war score in battle, thus entering a vicious circle of declining returns and declining numbers."

"It is highly recommended that each clan establish a comprehensive reward and punishment system as soon as possible, and as the level of the clan grows, the number of players that can be accommodated will also increase. In the later stage, it is not excluded that the player himself will command a group army to fight, and the sooner the construction of the system is completed, the less resistance to reform. ”

"In addition, it is also recommended that when choosing a corps, in addition to the rank ranking, more consideration should be given to whether the rules of the corps are perfect, as well as the evaluation of other members of the corps of their own corps!"

Not bad.

Brother Fang still understands me as always.

Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction.

When he designed the corps system, his biggest original intention was to hope that players would gather players with similar styles to themselves according to their own game style, and then establish an organizational system suitable for them on this basis, so as to maximize the combat effectiveness of a group of special people.

As for the name of the system, those are trivial matters.

It is impossible for him to design a separate growth path for each player, but players can DIY their favorite gameplay within the rules.

If you can't find fun, you can also give your helmet to other players who can find fun and lie down in bed and sleep peacefully.

In addition to the discussion of the corps system itself, many players have also focused on the economic aspects beyond war.

For example, the canyon is fleeing moles.

This guy directly asserted in the post that the new alliance will usher in a wave of infrastructure frenzy in the future.

And the reason he gave was simple.

"Qingshi County is 80 kilometers away from Dawn City, right? How much cement, steel, sand, and asphalt would it take to build railways and roads? Don't think about it, the demand for these commodities is bound to skyrocket! At this time, if you open a sand quarry and a biomass oil refinery in Yuanxi Town, you will definitely make money! ”

Tail: "Oh! It's amazing! S, take notes! (✪ω✪)”

Siss: "It's remembering, it's remembering." ”

The mole on the run in the canyon: "Gan! You white prostitutes, if you make money, you can share a little bit of me! (Crazy)"

Chu Guang saw the post from the beginning to the end, and while feeling emotion in his heart, he silently added a refinement.

With these smart little players, why worry about not being able to restore the People's Union?

Of course, what Brother Mole mentioned in the post, he had already thought of it.

After Xizhou is defeated, not only will the roads and railways be repaired to Xizhou, but Chu Guang plans to move heavy industries over together.

The location of Dawning City is too close to the powerful neighbor of Boulder City, and it is too risky to develop heavy industry under the nose of the other party.

The new alliance needs sufficient strategic depth to deal with possible dangers.

After the war was over, Chu Guang planned to establish a new settlement in Xizhou City to house the local survivors, and gradually move the heavy industry of Dawning City north.

Xizhou City is surrounded by mountains, close to lakes and rivers, there are many proven mineral resources, and the most important thing is that there are no mutant slime molds, and the difficulty of developing heavy industry will be much easier than that of Qingquan City.

As for the city of twilight, it serves as a base for light industry, agriculture, and commerce, producing daily necessities and various consumer goods needed by the residents of the new alliance.

However, in order to turn these plans from blueprint to reality, you must first deal with the Tooth Clan stationed in Xizhou City......

Chu Guang closed the official website and was about to leave the browsing room to go to the surface.

However, at this moment, Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came from the side.

"The hosts! The player you sent to Songlinyu to station is under shelling! ”

The moment he heard this, Chu Guang's expression turned slightly.

Here it comes!

"Inform all players of the Burning Corps to go live immediately!"

Xiao Qi's voice was as energetic as ever.

"Yes! Master! ”

It's the New Year, and book friends with spiritual roots use this app to read aloud and listen to books on the road!
