[7.Fix a small number of bugs......]

After reading the update announcement.

Ye Wei roughly refined the content of the announcement, and simply put, more bionics prosthetics were launched.

There are imports from Boulder City.

There are also imported from Ideal City.

In addition, there is a new and more advanced title of "Trainee Knight".

With Ah Guang's urine, you don't have to think about it, you will definitely get an "intermediate knight" and "senior knight" in the future.

Anyway, is this going to be a COS Brotherhood of Steel?

However, it doesn't really matter what to call this thing, it's just a gimmick like Penguin's membership level.

Even if you get the title of "Duke" or "Emperor" in the game, what about it?

And not the real emperor.

The key is what benefits Ah Guang gives.

"1,000 square meters of land, plus power armor purchase rights...... it! ”

"When did the dog light become so generous!?"

After reading the permissions of the new contribution level, Ye Wei, who was sitting in front of the computer, was stunned.

He couldn't wait to get up on his feet, roll back to his bedroom, put on his helmet and go to the game to see what the updated power armor in the NPC shop looked like.

However, after seeing the request for 100,000 contribution points, he suddenly leaned back on the computer chair like a deflated ball.

Lakh......

It is equivalent to doubling the threshold of "high citizenship"!

When will this special liver go?

Ye Wei remembered that his contribution point was about 8w, which was already the top level of the whole server. Lao Bai may be a little taller than him, but not much taller.

This means that if he wants to reach the threshold of the knighthood, it is equivalent to two more middle-level citizens.

[Kneel and beg Brother Guang to exchange a silver coin for a contribution function! ] QAQ】

Although he knew that this kind of function that disrupts "balance" could not appear in "Wasteland Online", Ye Wei still typed this line on the screen and posted it in the comment area below the update announcement.

However, what he didn't expect was that there were a hundred more likes in an instant.

Ye Wei was suddenly shocked.

Boy.

I'll just complain.

Do you have so many coins?

At this time, there was a shout in the living room outside the study.

"Brother, it's noon! It's time to order takeout! ”

"Right now, right now."

"What are you looking at?"

Sneaking into the study and walking behind the elder brother, Ye Jiu curiously approached the screen and looked at it, but he didn't see anything that shouldn't be seen.

It seems to be just a very ordinary web page.

"I just updated the Beta 0.3 version...... Anyway, don't you pay attention to the forum? Ye Wei said casually.

"What's there to focus on that?" Ye Jiu wondered.

“…… Forget it, it's okay not to pay attention. ”

Although he wanted to say that the forum was the ontology of "Wasteland Online", but thinking of those strange chat contents, he suddenly felt that it was good that the old girl was not interested in that forum.

"Dude."

"What."

"Anyway, why can't it be online during the day?" Suddenly talking about the game, Ye Jiu, who finally made up his mind not to think about the things in the game, was aroused again, and said pitifully.

"Because the game characters also have to sleep."

There's nothing wrong with this setting.

Although he is already an adult, Ye Wei also feels that there is nothing wrong with limiting his online time. After all, if everyone can be online 24 hours a day, then in the end the game will become a contest between the Liver Emperor and the Liver Emperor.

"Abominable ......"

Ye Wei glanced at his sister strangely.

"Anyway, don't you play games?"

Ye Jiu blinked.

"Huh? Did I say that? ”

Looking at his sister who was pretending to be stupid, Ye Wei rolled his eyes.

“…… Okay, didn't say that. ”

He wasn't in the mood to talk to the old sister at this moment, he just wanted to wait for Elder Brother Fang's version to understand.

But speaking of which, Fang Chang has been mysterious lately, and he doesn't go online until noon every day, and he doesn't know what he's doing in the game.

Ye Wei picked up his mobile phone and looked at the herd.

Happened.

As soon as he clicked in, Fang Chang's message jumped out.

And it's two in a row.

"Beta 0.3 is out! I just saw the update! ”

"! Power Armor! Brother Guang is awesome! ”

It's not just Ye Wei who is squatting in the group.

However, the focus of everyone in the group does not seem to be on the game.

Tempest: "Twelve." ”

Quit smoking: "Yesterday was half past eleven? ”

Lao Bai: "It's strange, usually the version is updated, and this guy is the first to bubble, and today he became the last to know." ”

Murderous Dagger: "Senior Brother Fang, how is the battle situation of Zhiyuan Star?" ”

WC really has mosquitoes: "When are you going to get married?" ”

The dog has a good name: "Have you thought about the child's name?" ”

Fang Chang: "??? ”

"Fuck off, I'm just doing a mission in Boulder City, what are you thinking?"

It's okay to do the task.

Ye Wei smiled at his aunt and sent a funny emoji.

"I almost believed it!"

Fang Chang didn't seem to intend to continue dwelling on this issue, and quickly changed the topic.

"I just glanced at the post on the forum...... Let's just talk about the conclusion, the focus of this update should be on the communication between the alliance and the various forces. ”

Quit smoking: "Communication? ”

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "Are you serious about this exchange?" ”

WC Really Has Mosquitoes: "Is It Deep?" ”

Fang Chang: "Roll on, old dirty turtle crawling!" I'm talking about serious things, what are you thinking? In short, after the end of the 'Northern Expedition', the main threat to the region will be lifted, and the alliance should not use troops externally in a short period of time, and life professional players and trade competition will become the mainstream gameplay. ”

Lao Bai: "Combat professional players have become the younger brother of the version again? ”

Fang Chang: "I can't say that, although I have left the center of the stage, the combat professional players are still a lot stronger in the new version, and the NPC store has not only released a large number of bionic prosthetic equipment, but even power armor." ”

"And there's a new map that's even more dangerous. For example, in the downtown area we explored earlier, where the Evolved Body is difficult to defeat by relying solely on the abilities of the Awakened, when paired with a Biomimetic Prosthetic and a high-level exoskeleton, the situation is completely different. ”

"It's just that compared to the previous version of large-scale team battles, the new version may emphasize more team cooperation and individual adventure, which may be a bit difficult for players who rely too much on equipment and don't usually pay attention to leveling, and it will take a lot of time to get used to the new version."

"At present, I am still about 20,000 short of 100,000 contribution points, and my suggestion is to find some tasks with high contribution points to do, and rush the contribution level to the trainee knight as soon as possible. The contribution level only meets the purchase threshold, as for whether the store is in stock, that's another question. ”

"Don't forget the five-type exoskeleton, obviously the purchase conditions are met, but there are not a few players who can't buy it when the store is out of stock......"

Poking his fingers at the screen, Fang Chang, who was lying on the bed, entered his understanding of the version into his mobile phone while contemplating it.

I wrote one or two thousand words.

Seeing that the attention of the group members had finally shifted from himself to the new version, Fang Chang breathed a sigh of relief and threw his phone aside.

Every time he goes offline, it takes him a few minutes to get used to the difference between offline and online.

Especially recently.

The "withdrawal reaction" seems to be aggravated.

His gaze unconsciously fell on the helmet on the bedside table, and a strange thought suddenly appeared in Fang Chang's heart.

If only the operator, who didn't know what the name was, would be willing to take the AI in the game out and sell it separately.

It's better than the game......

"A droid companion?"

"Although there are some chicken ribs in the game, in reality...... It's not bad to be able to buy a robot that takes care of daily life. ”

Not only can you help with housework, but it's also pleasing to the eye.

But eighty percent of them can't be seen in their lifetime.

Shaking his head with a smile, Fang Chang dispelled this unrealistic thought and decided to forget about the things in the game for a while.

Sitting up from the bed, he looked out the window at the midday sun and muttered something quietly.

"It's not dawn until six o'clock in the evening."

"It's good to go out for a walk......"

……

Wasteland World, Vault Level B4.

Chu Guang, sitting in front of the computer, browsed the players' replies below the update comment area, with a happy smile on his face.

Many players have shown strong interest in the prosthetic transformation function introduced in the new version.

Some plan to get themselves a mantis knife, some plan to put a grenade launcher on their hands, and some plan to put a rocket slot on their shoulders.

I have to say that the brains of these players are either ordinarily big, or they cost a little bit of resurrection coins.

In addition, there were some bad ideas that were not so serious, and Chu Guang chose to ignore them when he saw them.

At this time, a pop-up window flashing on the VM for communication request.

Seeing that the call was from Boss Xia, Chu Guang reached out and pressed the connected button, and the fiery red hair quickly appeared on the screen.

Different from the usual mercenary outfit, Xia Yan was wearing a cool T-shirt on his body at this moment, lying on the soft futon.

The VM itself does not have a video call function, and it needs to be connected to peripherals, and the camera is probably placed on the pillow.

Since it was the first time to use this function, Xia Yan was not very proficient in the operation, and his face was very close to the camera, and the screen was almost full.

"Are you going to show me your nostrils" Chu Guang made a joke while taking a screenshot of it, planning to keep it for later to tease her.

Xia Yan's cheeks flushed, and she immediately moved away from the camera.

It wasn't until she removed her face from the camera that Chu Guang could see where she lived.

In the video is a double dormitory, with an area of about 20 square meters, not big or small, with a compact layout, and even an independent bathroom.

There are Xiaoyu's clothes hanging on the hanger, and the two of them should be roommates.

This is obviously not the kind of container-type house produced by the New Alliance itself, and Chu Guang speculates that it should be the barracks of Camp 101.

It can be seen that Camp 101 attaches great importance to the students sent by the alliance, and although the conditions in Xizhou City are difficult, they still take out their own good things.

Seeing this scene, Chu Guang was also a little relieved.

It seems that the tuition fee of 10,000 yuan this year has not been spent in vain, and his own assistance to them has not been given in vain.

"How does the new environment feel? Are you still used to life over there? ”

"It's okay, it's definitely not comparable to the shelter, but it's not too bad, anyway, I'm not picky about where I live, I just feel like I don't have enough to eat...... It's much more deserted than the one in Dawn. ”

Looking at Xia Yan's sullen appearance, Chu Guang couldn't help but say with a smile.

"It's going to be fine. After a while, we'll open a few shops at Camp 101, and then you'll have a place to spend your living expenses in your pocket. ”

"Really?" Xia Yan's eyes lit up, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and asked excitedly, "Can you open the barbecue stall too?" ”

"There will be...... But don't just think about eating, you're not going to a picnic," Chu Guang said with a smile, "Anyway, what course did you choose?" ”

"Mechanical Engineering!" Xia Yan, who was lying in front of the pillow, curled the corners of his lips proudly, "My best thing is modifying machinery, and I plan to develop in this area in the future!" ”

"Do you understand?" Chu Guang asked curiously. Grain

"Classes won't start until tomorrow! I'm going to pick up a textbook today...... But to be honest, those things look really difficult, and I haven't understood them for a long time. When he said this, Xia Yan's face couldn't help but have a trace of trouble.

Although she was determined to become stronger, she was not confident that she would be able to learn those complicated things.

After all, she had neither the talent of a small fish, nor was she as young as the child. Just because I was exposed to firearms and various machine parts from an early age, my hands-on ability will be a little stronger.

However, in the face of higher knowledge, that little bit of hands-on ability and practical experience is not worth mentioning at all.

“…… There is definitely a difference between professional knowledge and experience in practice, and it is normal to feel difficult, but I am sure you can master it. ”

"It's like you know a lot." Xia Yan couldn't help but roll her eyes, but the trusting eyes and words of encouragement still made her feel warm in her heart.

"If I understand this, I still need you to learn it?" Chu Guang said with a smile, "Speaking of which, what about Xiaoyu? Why didn't you see her? ”

"She's already asleep. That little girl was still talking about you just now, and she wanted to call, but she was afraid of disturbing your work. Xia Yan said in a teasing tone.

"Then you still have the lights on."

Chu Guang subconsciously lowered his voice, but soon noticed that she was wearing headphones.

"It's okay, anyway, when we're in the shelter, we sleep with the lights on." Xia Yan said indifferently.

“……”

This guy really doesn't need money for electricity.

However, thinking of the power consumption of the cultivation cabin, Chu Guang didn't care about that energy consumption.

Seeing that Chu Guang didn't speak, Xia Yan continued.

"She chose mathematics and economic management, which seemed to be quite unpopular, and Pai's master planned to teach her himself."

Speaking of this, Xia Yan suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I almost forgot, Pai asked me to tell you good news."

Hearing this, Chu Guang immediately came to his senses.

What happened to the NB has come to an end? ”

Xia Yan nodded.

"Well, the manager of Vault 101 readily agreed, but the other party made one condition."

Chu Guang immediately asked.

"On what terms?"

Xia Yan said.

"The man said he wanted to meet you."

……

Entrance to Vault 101.

There are only a few barracks left here.

In addition to the production facilities and research facilities, it will take a little time to move out, and most people can't wait to get back to the surface.

As the administrator of the archives, Evan will most likely be the last to leave here.

Before returning to the surface, he needs to sort out the materials in the archives so that he can ensure that he does not get scrambling when he arrives in the new environment.

Fortunately, he recently took in a little apprentice, which should be able to help him a lot.

Of course, there is one more important thing before that......

in the archives.

The gray-haired old man sat at his desk, quietly flipping through the "observation diary" written by his apprentice.

There are a lot of abstract stick figures in it, so it took a little time to fully understand it.

As if aware of this problem, Pai was not idle, describing what he had seen and heard in Dawn City.

This includes how people turn waste into steel, wood into furniture, and fuel from plants......

Her mouth was dry, and she made a final summary.

"All in all, it's a very backward place, but it's a very interesting place! Unlike other wastelanders, they're not just adapting to the wasteland, they're also transforming the ground beneath their feet! ”

"I heard that a year ago it was a wasteland, but now there is not only endless farmland, but also a very large station and train...... Xiaoyu showed me the previous photos, it was incredible! ”

Looking at the apprentice who was gesturing with both hands, Ai Wen laughed and teased.

"A bowl of shaved ice bought you?"

"How is that possible! But the shaved ice drizzled with jam is really delicious! It tastes amazing! And not just shaved ice, but so many things I haven't seen before! Pai's eyes sparkled.

In the end, it's still a playful age.

But it is precisely because of this that through her perspective, she can be regarded as seeing some places that ordinary people will not notice.

Perhaps, this is why the pioneers intended to send her there.

Evan smiled and put down the copy of the "Observation Diary" in his hand that he couldn't understand.

"Really? I'll try it another day. ”

"Okay! I'll take you! Pai said excitedly, eager to share the treasure shop he had found with his master.

"After a while, I'll have to finish the work at hand......"

After a pause, Evan continued, "Can you tell me about their managers?" What kind of person is he? ”

"Hmm......"

Hearing this, Pai touched his chin and pondered for a moment, as if he was struggling with what to say.

But at this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up and she spoke.

"Although it is difficult to explain clearly in three words...... But I think he's a nice guy to work with. ”

"Easy to get along with?"

"Hmm!" Pai nodded and said happily, "Although he is a manager, he is completely different from our manager...... Well, he doesn't have that sense of being far away. ”

It feels very far away......

Ai Wen was slightly stunned, and then a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Although it is a very abstract description, he can understand what his students are trying to express that feeling.

The blue coats of Vault 101 often refer to themselves as "mentors", but the residents of Camp 101 rarely refer to themselves as students, but more often refer to themselves as "asylum people", and the residents of Vault 101 as "pioneers" and "masters", etc.

The emotions contained in this are not only gratitude for enlightenment and protection, but also a feeling of worship.

Not only the worship of knowledge, but also the worship of identity, and so on......

This almost religious belief and reverence inevitably creates a sense of distance.

Even if he could sense that the pioneers were trying to avoid this, and even if he could recognize what the problem was, it was still inevitable.

“…… No wonder the pioneer wanted to talk to him. Evan sighed softly.

He suddenly became more and more curious about the man.

Let's visit another day.

……

Following.

Returning from Boulder, Lukka gave his inaugural speech at Long Farm, swearing allegiance to the Alliance and officially assuming the title of Lord of Dawn.

This was nothing new to the inhabitants of Dawn, who had known old Lukka for a long time.

However, for the merchants and mercenaries from out of town, this can be considered big news.

After all, the identity of the elder Luca is not a secret, many people have heard of him, he was a serf on Brown Farm.

That same evening.

A tavern on North Street.

A group of merchants from Boulder City gathered at a wooden table, drinking wine and talking about the new events of the day.

"I heard that the new lord of Dawning City is a serf."

"Serfs? Can such a large settlement be managed? ”

"Who knows? But I'm not optimistic about him, what does a farmer know? Can you read the ledger clearly? ”

"But he was appointed by the blue coats, after all...... Those smart people can't make mistakes, right? ”

"Haha, smart man? Smart people will fall to the go-to-ground rats? Don't think too highly of those people, a bunch of cowards hiding in a hole in the ground. A bearded merchant burped.

"Shh......h Be quiet, this isn't Boulder. ”

Noticing that there were people around him looking at this side unkindly, the young merchant sitting next to him hurriedly grabbed his drunken companion and told him to keep his mouth shut.

They're here to do business, not to get in trouble.

In the corner of the tavern, Sun Shiqi listened to the discussion of the group, and couldn't help but have a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Seeing the expression on his face, Zhou Nan, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but smile and said.

"Haven't you heard about this?"

"Hmm...... I just got back from the south. Sun Shiqi nodded.

Half a month ago, he took a truckload of cheaply bought munitions to Jinchuan Province and exchanged a hundred tons of grain from the farmers there.

Still, he knew that Luca.

It seems like a long time ago, the old man was helping the administrators of Vault 404.

First in charge of the warehouse, and then in charge of the long-term farm, it seems that he was also responsible for the acquisition of Brown Farm, and there is nothing wrong with his resume.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the manager had such courage to really put a "low-class person" who had been a serf in the position of the city lord.

It is also the capital of the new alliance - Dawning City.

He didn't have any prejudice in his heart, but admired it a little, after all, he himself was a survivor of the last birth, and he was still tossing some rags last fall.

Even if it's for show, they do it beautifully.

At least it's much more sincere than the Red River Alliance that the mine owner and the chamber of commerce bosses made.

Looking at the group of merchants in Boulder City who had left after checking out, Sun Shiqi suddenly remembered something and spoke.

"Speaking of which, there seems to be a lot more traders coming here from Boulder City lately."

It's not just here.

He had seen a lot of them when he was at the Outpost before.

Although there were merchants from Boulder City who came here before, not many of them came, at least not like now, and if you just sit in a tavern, you can see those guys whose nostrils are eager to reach the sky.

"Because of the loan of 200 million chips, you probably haven't heard of it...... A few days ago, the Bank of Boulder City borrowed a large sum of money from the new alliance as compensation for the alliance for giving up the airspace of Qingquan City. Zhou Nan said with a smile.

I've heard that there are other hidden secrets.

But that's all he knows.

"Two hundred million?!" Sun Shiqi's eyes widened in surprise, "Is the Bank of Boulder City crazy?" ”

"I don't know, it's the case anyway," Zhou Nan said in a teasing tone after taking a sip of cold beer, "Yesterday House from "The Voice of Boulder City" also mocked on the radio, saying that now the entire factory in Boulder City is serving Dawn City, and is willing to be a servant of a group of hillbillies...... Although they look down on their poor neighbors in the northern suburbs, they are physically honest. ”

Sun Shiqi couldn't help laughing.

"Understand, who is going to have trouble with silver coins?"

Zhou Nan said with emotion.

"yes...... It's hard to imagine the vastness of the market here, especially since the people from the enterprise have arrived here in the past two days, although they don't know what they plan to do, but the good things they brought from the ideal city have made the nobles of the entire inner city red-eyed. ”

Hearing this, Sun Shiqi couldn't help but be moved.

"Do you have a way to get your hands on those things?"

Zhou Nan shook his head regretfully.

"If only I had that way. I've tried, and the people in those businesses don't do business with us at all...... I don't know what benefits those blue coats gave them, this shipment was completely monopolized by the Vault. ”

"Can you buy that from the Vault?" Sun Shiqi hurriedly asked.

"Yes, but the price is not cheap," Zhou Nan nodded, "What I learned is that the price of a bionic kidney is 600,000 silver coins. ”

"600,000 silver coins?!" Sun Shiqi's eyes widened in surprise, "Crazy?!" ”

"After all, it is an ideal city, and there is a reason why it is expensive. Think of the nobles in the inner city who have a lot of chips and have nowhere to spend, and you won't feel expensive. A perfect liver and kidneys can allow you to live for 20 more years without worrying about being hollowed out by wine...... I want to get myself a new one. When he said this, Zhou Nan's face was full of envy.

You can make more than double the profit with a single transaction.

It's a great deal!

“…… I'm more interested in what companies are getting from the new alliance. Sun Shiqi's face was also full of envy, but more curiosity.

Even with the sign of "friendly partners", these people from the company are a little too good for the new alliance.

Zhou Nan shrugged his shoulders.

"Who knows? Presumably either some kind of amazing weapon, or a priceless black box? ”

"I don't have enough imagination, that's all I can think of."
