This Game Is Too Realistic

Dimiter took the people away.

The group continued to head north, towards Xizhou City.

Watching those fighters in black exoskeleton go away, the man hiding among the refugees heaved a sigh of relief and pulled his hand back from the worn cloak.

Meeting strangers in the wasteland is never a good thing, and sometimes conflict can be sparked by just a look.

In most cases, both parties will consciously avoid each other. But if one of them stops, or even approaches them actively...

What will happen is hard to say.

Especially since he felt a murderous aura from those people.

They seemed to have just suffered a defeat, and even just for a moment, they had the idea of ​​venting their anger on them.

The leader of the refugee team was obviously aware of this, and after the uninvited guests walked away, he immediately walked in front of the team and shouted.

Dawn City is just ahead!

There is a shelter from the wind and rain and a warm quilt... There is also hot water and food. Just keep going, everyone, we have to hurry up and try to get there before dark.

The unkempt man muttered softly.

Will they share their food with us?

A woman with a child on her back looks sad.

How long do we have to go...

Facing those gazes, the leader was silent for a while, and said.

They promised on the radio.

Anyway, we've got to try.

...

Vault 404.

After taking a shower and returning to the private room, Ye Shi, who lay back in the training cabin, closed the hatch and logged out of the game skillfully.

When he opened his eyes again and took off his helmet, what he saw was the ceiling of the dormitory.

The whole thing is like blinking.

Now, his ID is Ye Wei. He is not the strongest sensory player in Wasteland OL, but an ordinary student studying at Jiangcheng University.

Under the snoring chorus of roommates, Ye Wei sat up from the bed, turned over and got out of bed, quickly washed up, and stuffed the textbooks into the satchel.

There will be a morning class in a while.

Even if he decided to play professionally, he didn't intend to give up his studies completely.

After all, it was a prestigious school no matter what, and it was hard for him to get into it. He still planned to give an explanation for his efforts.

After playing Wasteland OL for so long, Ye Wei has long been used to the switching of role identities between reality and virtual reality.

When he passed by the window before, he would take another look suspiciously, but now he can only feel that peace is so good.

Ah Wei, help me get a seat.

A drowsy sound came from above his head, Ye Wei looked up and saw Brother Liu woke up unexpectedly, he said in surprise.

Huh? Brother Liu woke up so early.

Damn...this faucet chugs like a machine gun, can I not wake up, Brother Liu, who was lying on the bed, yawned and turned over, I can't do it anymore, I have to sleep for a while.

The others were still snoring, sound asleep.

Ye Wei who put on his shoes said helplessly.

I can't help if there are air bubbles in the water pipe. I turned it on very small... If you want me to say, if your sleep quality is poor, you might as well make an appointment with me. At least it can help you sleep well, and it doesn't cost you anyway.

Brother Liu, who was lying on the bed, trembled like PTSD, shook his head and said.

No, no, good brother, I really don't have the root of wisdom, so I can't practice your magical skills.

hehe!

Believe it or not!

Ye Wei stopped talking nonsense, casually picked up three books from the desks of his roommates, stuffed them into his satchel, and then went out to the cafeteria.

A full day of classes during the day.

I have to go out for a long trip at night.

Ye Wei, Fang Chang and the others made an appointment, and everyone gathered together 40,000 silver coins to purchase some special products from Dawn City, and transported them to Jushi City to exchange for chips.

No. 81 Steel Factory and Goblin Technology entrusted them to help purchase second-hand equipment at the same time, and are willing to settle with silver coins at the exchange rate of 3 silver coins per chip.

This exchange rate includes 50% shipping.

The specific method of operation is that the cattle and horse teams first go to Boulder City, and then get the next day's bidding list from the auction house, take pictures, go offline, and send them to the private chat window of the forum. The two clients decide which one to shoot. How much is the transaction price in mind, and how to shoot it specifically.

This time around, it is conservatively estimated that there will be more than double the profit.

Thinking of this, Ye Wei, who usually drank two yuan of original soy milk, swollenly replaced it with black sesame seeds for three yuan, and replaced two vegetarian buns for three yuan with three yuan each for sauced meat buns.

One bite is full of fragrance.

So cool!

Eating while walking, Ye Wei pondered for a while and went to the classroom to take a look at the forum, at this moment the phone in his pocket vibrated.

I took it out and saw that the message was from my sister.

Jiujiu: Brother, is that the game you play?

Jiujiu: [Link]

The bun and the phone almost fell to the ground together, Ye Wei hurriedly freed his hand and typed back.

Where did you get the link???

Jiujiu: In the group. 0, 0

Ye Shi: Quickly retreat, children don't want to play.

Jiujiu: You're just a kid! I'm an adult! (angry)

Ye Wei thought inwardly, his words seemed to have the opposite effect.

This guy is absolutely going to fill out the form!

Ye Wei panicked when he thought of his ID.

Didn't this fucker die on the spot?

Jiujiu, cough, you heard from my brother that this game is too deep for you to grasp, and it's extremely unfriendly to Mengxin, you should still focus on learning.

Jiujiu: Oh.

Ye Wei: ...

Gan!

Ye Wei scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.

or……

Begging brother Guang to open the back door and issue a name change card?

But this is not so good.

Seeing that it was almost time to arrive in the classroom, Ye Wei took a deep breath to calm himself down.

calm.

After the Beta0.2 version, the number of reservation players skyrocketed, and millions of troops lined up to make reservations. With the speed of issuing 30-40 activation codes per day, the possibility of crowding in was extremely slim.

After waiting in line, she probably gave up.

After figuring this out, Ye Wei finally felt relieved, found a place in the middle of the classroom where four were connected, threw the bag on it, and then logged into the official website of Wasteland OL with his mobile phone.

Seven o'clock sharp.

Brother Guang's update announcement finally came out.

But what he didn't expect was that he actually sent them a full server announcement.

[Full server announcement: Congratulations to the Burning Corps for becoming the first LV2 Corps on the closed test server! (Since the head of the corps chooses to make the achievement public, this achievement will be included in the Hall of Fame as a group honor)]

Spring Water Commander: Damn it! So fast!?

Paddle on the edge: Open something!

Tail: Hey! The White Bear Knights have just arrived in Honghe Town! Someone has reached LV2!!!!∑(Дノ)ノ

Sisi: Ah Wei, wake up, we are not a corps, we are a caravan registered with the Merchant Guild.

Tail: Aww, I got confused. _(:з∠)_

Fang Chang: Go away, if you play well, you can open things? This is called strength! (Proud)

Makabazi: It's unreasonable, the corps system is too strong, and the life of professional players is very hot, woo woo woo, please plan to cut a knife!

Mole on the run in the canyon: Damn! You're hurting others and not benefiting yourself!

Envy is envy, Mole's skeleton army is almost at LV2, only two missions short. Although he failed to get the Hall of Fame achievement, the budget given by LV2 is still very good.

However--

Perhaps hearing the voices of life professional players, Gouplan suddenly released a Beta0.21 upgrade patch.

Mole felt an ominous premonition when he saw the words Corps System Gameplay Mechanism Adjustment.

[Adjustment content:

1. The Corps has added an attribute interface, the main attributes are Scale and Logistics. For each level up, the two attributes increase by 1 point at the same time, for example: the scale and logistics corresponding to LV2 are both 2.

2.1 point scale corresponds to 10 [recruitment upper limit], and 1 point logistics corresponds to 10 [logistics points]. The recruitment limit determines the number of players that can be recruited, and logistics points can be used to exchange for ordnance. For example: 1 logistics point can be exchanged for a set of Conscript Set, which contains an LD-47 rifle and 120 rounds of 7mm ammunition. Occupying 2 logistics points can be exchanged for a set of Support Soldier Set, which includes an LD-47j light machine gun and 500 rounds of 7mm machine gun ammunition.

3. The equipment exchanged for logistics points and its ammunition loss will be borne by the new alliance. The weapon is kept in the arsenal at ordinary times, and is transported to the front line by the supply unit in wartime. The quartermaster NPC is responsible for the management and deployment. It is not allowed to be used during non-wartime or special tasks Corps Equipment.

4. One point can be obtained for each level up, which can be freely distributed in Scale, Logistics, and can also be used to upgrade Doctrine.

5. Doctrine represents the development tendency of the corps. For example, players who are good at large-scale combat can choose the crowd vanguard under the Light Infantry Doctrine to get 100% scale bonus and lead your teammates to be inhumane. You can also choose special operations under this theory, get the BUFF of Light Infantry Equipment Points Cost -50%, and lead your teammates to block and kill gods.

Players who are good at blitzkrieg can choose the armored spearhead under the Mobile Combat Doctrine to get the buff of -50% armor unit point cost. You can also choose a more secure step-tank coordination, and distribute half of the point discounts to light weapons.

The theory of firepower superiority is divided into firepower coverage and infantry coordination. It is recommended to reserve skill points for logistics and equip a few more guns and ammunition boxes. You don't need scale anyway.

6. LV2, LV10, and LV20 corps can each unlock a theory slot. Each corps can carry a limited number of theories, and players can match them according to their needs. But please keep in mind that once you choose a theory category, you cannot choose exclusive branches under other categories. Whether to charge the front line, or to be a tool man in the rear, you have to choose one.

】

Ye Wei read the update announcement from beginning to end, and roughly understood the content of this update.

To put it simply, Dog Planning hopes that players will make trade-offs in gameplay and maximize their own advantages.

But that armored spearhead...

Do they have tanks? ?

Ye Wei flipped through the official website database with a subtle expression.

The only armored units in the New Alliance are the trucks carrying quadruple anti-aircraft guns.

Or will there be in the future?

Of course, these are trivial things, after all, it is still in the beta test stage, and it is normal if it has not been developed.

What really caught Ye Wei's attention was the point system.

In the past, they used to fire bullets before the battle, and use their own bullets after the official battle. The battle settlement interface allocated a 20% profit to the players who lost their equipment to compensate.

And this update has made a change in the gameplay mechanism, that is, the separation of private equipment and corps equipment.

... Corps equipment can be exchanged for points, and the new alliance will appoint a quartermaster to manage the arsenal and replenish the inventory.

Is this a distinction between private equipment and regiment equipment?

In the future, the ammunition left over from the battle cannot be used for missions other than the battle.

A trace of surprise appeared on Ye Wei's face, and he immediately cut to the comment section of the official website.

Sure enough, everyone was talking about it.

Irena: Although it has been updated a lot, the summary is that 'corps are not allowed to do business'. (funny)

Elven King Fugui: However, you can engage in other occupations other than your own, but you cannot use public guns and armor. (Funny)

Picking up trash level 99: Hahaha, two hurry up, the brother in front gives way.

The mole on the run in the canyon: It's over! Let me briefly summarize it. There are two key points of this change. One is that the logistics power is centralized, and the allocation of budget is changed to centralized procurement and unified deployment. The other is the separation of corps equipment and personal equipment. In the future, the equipment purchased at the supply point will be stored in the designated arsenal, and will be supervised and checked by the quartermaster NPC, and can only be used under certain circumstances!

The equipment exchanged by points is bound to the corps and cannot be traded. Normal loss will be compensated, and double compensation will be required for malicious damage, which will be judged by the AI.

Raiden Dharma King: Damn it! Has the issue of silver coins been changed to points? The Corps system has been weakened at an epic level! (panic)

Mole on the run in the canyon: Actually, it hasn't been cut, it's just that there are too many people on the server, and the loopholes in the rules have been plugged.

In the past, when the budget was issued, players could freely control military expenses and buy equipment by themselves. It was okay when there were fewer people, but now that there are more servers, there is inevitably room for power rent-seeking.

For example, Corps A discusses with player B, we ask you to purchase, you give us a kickback, and the money slips from military expenses to personal accounts.

Now that the military expenditure has been changed to points, and the procurement, logistics, and weapon maintenance are collectively responsible for by the alliance, there is no problem of using military expenditure to make money for themselves.

For those who didn't intend to play tricks from the beginning, this change is not a weakening, but because the logistics system is handed over to the AI, players can focus more on the front line.

Raiden Dharma King: Damn! There are so many restrictions, the devil is going to play the corps system, I will let you go to the front line, and I will go to the business by myself, isn't it good?

When Ye Wei saw this sentence, he was immediately happy, and couldn't help picking out the words to reply.

I blindly guessed that your surname is Liu. (Funny)

Thunder King: ?

The mole on the run in the canyon: Didn't you not qualify for the beta test? You can't even enter the game. You represent us as a hammer. (Funny)

Thunder King: I mean what if! What would I do if I were in the game! Hey, you European emperors! You are more lucky than me. If I go in, I will graduate with full level and full equipment!

Fang Chang appeared suddenly.

In wartime, it is the duty of every citizen to fight for the alliance. Abandoning the obligation is deemed to give up everything, which includes all property in the game. Don't always think that you are smart, and don't always think that you can represent others. You There should be something else in my life besides being slick, and it’s really unnecessary to play a game like this. (Squint eyes)”

The mole on the run in the canyon: I agree with Brother Fang, and the adjustment of the gameplay will not affect the income of the corps system. The rewards of the battle are reflected in the settlement interface. Population, resources, land, etc. are all possible. Add a cold knowledge, silver coins It’s just one of the new alliance’s currencies, your contribution to the alliance, the alliance remembers it better than you. (funny)”

He fell silent.

But he still didn't understand.

Why did these T0 and T1 players not feel uncomfortable at all, even though this update took away the logistics power of the Corps.

Instead, he, a cloud player who didn't even have the qualifications for the beta test, was complaining for them.

Don't they want to make more money?

Silver coins can be exchanged for money!

Ye Wei could probably guess what this guy was thinking, although he didn't agree with it. This guy may be a little smart and sophisticated, but he is not as good as a student.

Assuming that there is a public loophole in the rules, and someone takes advantage of it to make a profit, if you don’t take advantage of it, you will suffer a loss, and you will be eliminated from the competition. Therefore, even if it is known that taking advantage of loopholes will harm the interests of the collective, individuals will inevitably make the most unfavorable choice for the collective out of individual optimal solutions.

When everyone falls into the prisoner's dilemma, no one will be a real winner, and the final result must be a lose-lose.

For the players in the Alpha round of testing, the New Alliance is a utopia built on a deserted wasteland with their brick-by-brick efforts. The meaning of this game is far more than just a game. There are far more than those few silver coins in his eyes.

Even if there is no reward, they are willing to pick up their rifles and die generously to protect the land under their feet.

A loss of equipment and experience.

Better than a server reset.

...

Vault 401.

Master Yin, who had been busy all afternoon, finally replaced the new fuel rods and restarted the reactor in the shelter.

As the air purification system began to operate, the light was restored in the shelter, and Chu Guang finally received a reminder that the task was completed.

[Administrator permission No. 401 has been obtained. 】

It's done... What are you going to do about the authority of the administrator? Yin Fang looked at Chu Guang, The administrator here is dead. If they don't set a will, they will be alive according to the order of number by default. Residents inherit—

When Yin Fang was giving advice to Chu Guang, Chu Guang stretched out his hand, lightly turned off the light above his head, and lightly turned it on again.

Yin Fang was dumbfounded.

...When did you get it?

Your reaction was as if it was the first time you saw me using administrator privileges in another shelter. Wasn't it the same in shelter 117 before? Chu Guang gave him a strange look instead.

Yin Fang had a strange expression on his face.

Isn't Vault 117 because of the last words of the previous administrator... Forget it, it's not an important matter anyway.

Giving up on asking about the minutiae, Yin Fang followed Chu Guang to the manager's office and took back the black box there.

Vault 401 has a completely different office than Vault 117.

The decoration style here is mainly simple, and it is more like a laboratory or an archive than an office.

As soon as Yin Fang entered the door, he aimed at the silver coffee machine with a square head and a square brain on the table. He was as surprised as if he had discovered a new world, and hugged it fondly in his arms.

Model KW-8241T! I've seen it in a magazine! It's unbelievable that it's here!

Magazine?

Yin Fang chattered.

Of course it is a pre-war magazine. Compared with the KW-8241 prototype, this type of coffee machine has 4 more special roasting processes, and its appearance is specially designed for researchers in an academic style! Look at this sci-fi shape, even for laymen. Can't find where the water outlet is! Uh, but it seems to be malfunctioning, but it's not a big problem, it should work after repairing it...Can I take it away?

As he spoke, he looked over expectantly.

... Whatever you want.

Chu Guang squinted at this guy.

Anyway, I don't have a hobby of collecting this thing.

Just take it if you want.

...

A coffee machine doesn't take up much weight. After Chu Guang took back the black box together, he took Yin Fang back to the surface.

The shelter has reopened.

After returning, he will arrange for the staff of the logistics department to clean the place, and place the newly produced dormant capsules in each room.

The reborn No. 401 Vault will serve as a new novice village for the B round of testing, accommodating at least 1,000 new players.

As for the planting area in the refuge, Chu Guang intends to use it for breeding and supply high-quality seeds for the large farmland on the west side of Changjiu Farm.

Sitting on Nicole's back, on the way back to shelter 404, Chu Guang turned on the information transmission function of the power armor helmet, and took a look at the forum.

The light blue window was directly projected on his retina, and Chu Guang picked out a few familiar ID posts and glanced at them.

For the changes in Beta0.21 version, players have their own interpretations and opinions.

Regardless of their views, however, reform of the Corps system is imperative.

The new alliance is a united collective, and what is needed is united soldiers, not a group of warlords fighting independently.

It is the first part of Chu Guang's military reform plan to take back the power of logistics to the center of the alliance and make unified deployment by a special logistics department.

In the future, he will take more measures to ensure that the various corps can coordinate and cooperate in the system, and players who choose the corps system can get a better game experience.

What surprised Chu Guang was Commander Quanshui's post.

This guy seldom writes strategies, but this time he wrote a lot.

In addition to a detailed analysis of the doctrines of the various branches of the Corps system, the man also asserted at the end of the post that the adjustment of the Beta0.21 version is to prepare for the new expansion.

And the content of the data sheet.

It is likely to be related to the Northern Expedition!

After seeing the post from beginning to end, Chu Guang's mouth curled up into a smile.

Pretty smart.

Although this is obvious.

...

the next day.

North of Dawn City.

Next to the smooth airport runway, there is the military camp of the new alliance.

Currently stationed here are the reorganized First and Second Corps, as well as the Guards Corps wearing light and heavy exoskeletons.

Unlike the players, these soldiers not only wore uniform uniforms, but also had uniform weapons in their hands.

Standing beside Chu Guang, Vanus looked quite complacent.

how?

Looking at the forest of guns and flags on the school field, Chu Guang, who was wearing a power armor, nodded approvingly, not stingy with his praise.

very good!

There are a total of 397 soldiers standing here.

Under the training of Vanus and other former officers of the Legion, their physical fitness and fighting will have undergone earth-shaking changes from a few months ago.

Some of them even awakened.

As a standing corps, the main task of these aboriginal soldiers is defense, but this does not mean that Chu Guang will relax his requirements on them.

The threats to the wasteland go far beyond marauders.

Especially after encountering the torch, Chu Guang realized this more deeply.

Although the combat effectiveness of the players is strong and they have the advantage of immortality, the construction of the standing corps cannot be slackened because of this.

Players cannot be online 24 hours a day.

There are always things that players can't do.

And these things can only be done by people in this world.

After the inspection is over.

Chu Guang held a battle meeting while everyone was there.

In addition to the commanders of the first and second corps, the high-level members of the new alliance, including Luca from the logistics department, also participated.

Without wasting time on the opening remarks, Chu Guang went straight to the point.

The torch's armed forces attacked our convoy escorting the fuel rods, and the remaining armed forces fled to the north. Although there were only eight of them, they were well-equipped and well-trained. If they were allowed to join the Bonechewers, they would probably be killed. Cause us big trouble this fall.

The current war between the Snake Clan and Honghe Town is at a stalemate, and I can't spare a hand to deal with us for the time being. If I were them, I would most likely choose the Ya Clan who was resting in Xizhou City as the target of support, instigating them to go south, and continue the sudden incident last year. The battle that ended.

Since this battle is going to be fought sooner or later, let's fight it on their territory.

All the officers in the barracks had expressions of excitement on their faces, and they clenched their fists involuntarily.

Especially wrenches.

In the offensive at the beginning of the year, the guards standing at Changjiu Farm suffered heavy losses, and many of his brothers fell in that battle.

However, those cunning villains turned around and fled with their tails between their legs when they saw the black snake's defeat!

He has been waiting for this moment for too long!

Looking at his subordinates with high fighting spirit, Chu Guang put his hands on the map and continued speaking in a serious tone.

The Northern Expedition will start next month, and the goal is to drive out all the Ya clan entrenched in Xizhou City!

Before the Northern Expedition begins, we need to prepare at least 30 planes, 50 trucks, five million rounds of ammunition and artillery shells—and lay our railway to Yuanxi Town!

This war will completely change the situation in the southern part of the River Valley Province. It is not just about our own destiny. I hope you will overcome all difficulties and do your best to complete the preparations for the war.

Since Rift Valley and Boulder City don't want to deal with that bunch of shit—

Chu Guang's right fist landed on the map, and he said firmly in his eyes.

Then let's go!

——

(Thanks to the leader of Shadow of Light for the reward!!)
