Chapter 18 was clearly reserved by me first

  Since these players are so self-conscious, Chu Guang feels that he should leave them alone and let them play freely.

  Pile up the supplies next to the elevator, Chu Guang returned to the shelter, called out the manager system, and soon a pop-up window showing the task completion appeared in front of him.

  【Congratulations to the host, complete the daily task: hoard wood, reward: reward point +2】

  【Congratulations to the host, complete the daily task: Burning cement, reward: reward point +5】

  Completed daily tasks add up to 7 reward points, which is not enough for an intermediate blind box.

  But Chu Guang didn't care.

  His players have already finished the cement, and now the food reserves are more than ten kilograms. Soon he will be able to recruit a few more players to come in as free labor.

   "System, all reward points, all exchange for primary blind boxes!"

   The reward points in the manager's allowance are instantly cleared.

  The alloy door on the wall opened, and the conveyor belt began to roll, sending out the rewards from the blind box.

  Five lollipops, a piece of chocolate with a net content of 200g, and a bag of table salt with a net content of 500g. Like the previous ones, all without expiry dates and labels.

  How much does this first-generation manager of Gouyue like to eat sugar?

  Looking at the five lollipops and chocolates, Chu Guang didn't know how to complain for a while.

   But this white table salt is a good thing.

  Chu Guang reached out to pick it up, with a look of unexpected delight.

  The salt that can be bought on Beit Street is coarse salt shipped from Boulder City.

  This kind of white salt is usually expensive, and ordinary survivors can't afford it.

   "It would be nice to have more!"

  This amount is enough for cooking, but it is a bit wasteful for making bacon or sausage.

  Of course, it may be a good choice to trade it. This white salt can be exchanged for at least 10 times or even 20 or 30 times the weight of coarse salt.

   However, there are other risks.

  Valley provinces are inland provinces.

  Salt is second only to the profiteering of arms. Without enough strength, it is a bit unreasonable to want to do this business.

   After confirming the rewards, Chu Guang then opened the player list and confirmed the players' offline time yesterday and today's online time.

   To his surprise, Lao Bai actually upgraded?

   "Cut down trees and upgrade?"

  Chu Guang was startled.

  Before, the development progress of the genetic sequences of these players was 0, but the development progress of Lao Bai's genetic sequences has been increased to 1%.

   corresponds to the level, which is LV1.

  But after Chu Guang thought about it, he was relieved.

  Physical work such as cutting down trees is equivalent to a kind of exercise in itself. In addition, Lao Bai's genetic sequence is also a strength department, so it is not surprising that the development progress has risen to a high level.

   Gaining experience does not necessarily require fighting.

   While the latter is a relative shortcut...

   Close the system interface.

  Sitting in front of the computer in the resident hall, Chu Guang logged into the background of Wasteland OL official website.

Before setting the reservation threshold, you need to fill in the delivery address and phone number and register an account to make an appointment. Chu Guang had already prepared for the slowdown or even stagnation in the number of reservations, but he did not expect to open it today. The number of reservations has increased from 35 Got to 45.

   Good guy.

   Are there so many living people in the Ox and Horse Club?

   Surprised, Chu Guang then boarded the Penguin, opened the game group called Cow Horse Club, and found some clues after looking through the chat records for a while.

  It turned out that just yesterday, a large number of newcomers flooded into the group, and the number of group members has soared from over one hundred to over two hundred.

  Most of these newcomers were invited by group friends to watch, and many of them are group members, active in major game groups all year round.

  Now in the PC game circle, an urban legend about "fully immersive virtual reality online games" has begun to spread.

  Although most people sneered when they heard it, there were always one or two who believed it and worked hard to find the "Horse Club" to join them.

   Everyone is not sure if the dog managers have united to make a living. In short, this official website is doing well.

  —Historical chat records—

  Smoking Quit: [Why are there so many newcomers in the group suddenly? (Mum.jpg)]

   Picking up trash level 99: [Bosses! How do I pre-order that game? Want to spend money? 】

  Smoking cessation: [Fuck? Are they all here for the Wasteland OL? (Surprised.jpg)]

   Woke up more than a dozen times a night: [The group name can be changed to Wasteland OL player group. (funny)】

  Grand Aonai, what am I: [There is no need to spend money during the beta test phase, I don’t know in the future, just register an account and fill out a form to queue up. As for when you will be able to queue up, just look at your face... Hey, I am convinced, I really believe it. 】

   Quit smoking: [Ye Shi brothers! You were online last night? ? ? Is there anything new to test? ? ? (Excited)】

  Woke up more than a dozen times overnight: 【Tested, after a whole night of testing, we made the cement out, haha. You can ask Chang Fang, I'm going to class, let's talk back. 】

   Quit smoking: [Cement? ? ? 】

   Picking up trash level 99: [Isn't it picking up trash? ? ? 】

  There was a lot of chatter in the group for a long time.

  Chu Guang directly skipped the long list of nonsense, and turned to Fang Chang's speech.

  Today Fangchang: [To be honest, this game's performance in terms of authenticity exceeded my expectations! Unlike most sandbox construction games, in Wasteland OL, logs will not turn into wood by themselves, and synthesizing charcoal is not simply a matter of throwing wood into the furnace to synthesize it with one click. Instead, you need to build a charcoal kiln first. The firing method is basically the same as in reality. The same is true for making cement. There is no one-click synthesis workbench, but you need to start by burning plant ash. 】

  Smoking cessation: [Fuck? so real? ! 】

  Fang Chang in the future: [Yes, it is so real! The combat system has not been tested yet, but as far as the sandbox gameplay is concerned, Lao Bai and I have not found the upper limit of this game yet! 】

  The future is long: [Theoretically speaking, all the materials we have access to so far can be modified according to the physical and chemical rules in reality, and these modifications to the map environment are still permanently preserved! Will not be refreshed! This is what surprised me the most! 】

   This reminded him of Death Stranding, a "pseudo-sandbox game" that builds roads all over the world.

  However, this game is not just about building roads. It has more interactive content than the pixel-style "Minecraft", but the picture is unambiguous, even more fake than the photo-quality racing game "Horizon 4".

   Especially the immersive experience.

   was something he had never seen before.

   In a word, he blows up this game!

  Grandpa is proud of me: [Oh, I laughed. It's really so awesome that I can build a Jinling City on the wasteland. 】

  Retaining people under the sword: [I don't believe it either! too outrageous. 】

  Baiju Guochao: [Stop bragging, you will know when you enter the game, this game is the worst I have ever seen, all the materials are hand-made, and it does not support hanging up. Playing other games, you can turn on the computer and hang up to kill monsters all night, but in this game, you will be so tired after chopping a few pieces of wood that you can’t even lift your hands! 】

  Grade 8 strong wind: [Indeed, I have a deep understanding of this. 】

  Smoking Quit: [Hastily, I really want to play after hearing what you say! ! Wuwuwu Brother Guang, I know you are spying on the screen, I kneel down for you, please give me a chance! ! 】

  Chu Guang continued to scroll through the chat records.

   The dog managers and group owners who have obtained the beta test qualification are basically blowing the rainbow fart of "Wasteland OL", such as "sandbox gameplay yyds", "annual hegemony reservation" and the like.

   There are also some greedy players, who interrupted from time to time, "One hundred thousand is a lot of money to buy the internal test qualification", "One hundred thousand is too little, I will pay one hundred million (funny and so on.

   Then, the group of friends chatted about survival in the wilderness.

   It may be that they became interested in the gameplay described in [To Japan’s Fang Chang], and many players who did not believe that "full immersive virtual reality online games really exist" also participated in the discussion and even made suggestions.

  Among them, what interested Chu Guang the most was a gangster with the ID [WC really has mosquitoes].

  Looking at the time of joining the group, this old man has only joined the group not long ago and is a newcomer.

  Others are talking about games, but he is talking about the eighteen uses of wood in a serious manner.

  Such as burning charcoal and making furniture, those are the most basic.

   Among other things, he mentions the "retort" of wood.

  The specific principle is that during the process of baking wood to make charcoal in a closed container, a large amount of combustible gas and smoke rich in various organic chemical components will be released.

   These complex mixtures, collectively known as "char wood," were chemical precursors to many chemical products—until coal tar and petroleum were widely used.

  According to the description of this group of brothers, by filtering the collected condensate, a water sample solution composed of acetic acid, acetone, and methanol can be obtained, as well as a thick tar-like residue.

   Both are complex mixtures, but both can use fractional distillation to extract different organic chemical components.

   Needless to say, acetic acid and methanol, acetone is a good thing. Not only can it be used as an organic solvent, but it can also be used to make smokeless gunpowder!

  When he saw this, Chu Guang was shocked.

   "This guy is engaged in chemical industry?"

  He subconsciously clicked on the person's head portrait, and then clicked on the space.

  The space was not locked, so it was easy to get in, but there were no chemical-related things inside, but some advertisements for furniture and building materials.

All right…

  Looks like a furniture seller.

   Knowing so much about wood is probably out of interest.

   However, his knowledge might come in handy here.

  Chu Guang thought for a moment, and suddenly had an idea in his mind, and threw him a private chat pop-up window.

   "Friend, are you interested in joining the closed beta?"

   It’s nine o’clock in the morning in the wasteland, and it’s nine o’clock in the evening in Huaguo in the parallel world. It’s the time to be high, and it’s impossible to fall asleep.

   Sure enough, the brother named [WC really has mosquitoes] sent a question mark.

  【? 】

  【Who are you? 】

   Chu Guang typed.

  【I am the planner of Wasteland OL. 】

  WC really has mosquitoes: [Fuck? ! Are you the planner? 】

  WC really has mosquitoes: [Brother, how to test? Want money? I have no money. 】

  Chu Guang explained patiently.

  【No need to spend money, just fill in a form, and I will send you the link. 】

  Although I was full of doubts, but WC really has mosquitoes, I clicked on the link and filled in the address and phone number on the official website reservation page.

   It's just that when he filled in the address, he still kept an eye out for it. He wrote the post station in the community instead of the house number.

  WC really has mosquitoes: 【Then what? Is there any other program? 】

  Guang: [No, send me the appointment number, I will mark it for you in the background, and I will notify you when it goes online in three days. 】

  It takes three days to make a clone.

   Just when Chu Guang was thinking, now that there are carpenters, and the outpost still lacks talents, the group news suddenly exploded.

   Opened the group chat, and it turned out that [WC really has mosquitoes] just finished filling out the form on the front foot, and then went to the group to pretend to be aggressive.

  【Hahahaha, iron boys, I have obtained the qualification for the closed beta test! ! 】

  Smoking cessation: [Fuck? Fuck! Fuck! 】

   Quit smoking: [Why! Obviously I made an appointment earlier! T.T】

  The group news exploded in an instant.

   It exploded together, and there was also a private chat with Chu Guang.

  Looking at the long string of small red dots, Chu Guang's scalp felt numb, knowing that he would not be able to dive, so he quickly came out to explain.

  Guang: [Don’t be impatient everyone, the closed beta is also for everyone’s game experience. At this stage, we need to test whether the game’s various systems are complete, so some players with special field knowledge are needed to act as guinea pigs. 】

  Smoking Quit: [I can also be a guinea pig! I have seven years of driving experience! T.T】

   Keeping people under the knife: [Cut, you are a bird with seven years of driving experience, and I can drive an excavator! 】

  Grand Ao Nai I He: [You all stop arguing, you didn’t realize that there are really mosquitos in this WC, did you join the group yesterday? Maybe it's the trumpet of the dog management! What a fully immersive virtual reality game, rubbish! all fake! 】

  ④ Who understands? [The space doesn't look like a trumpet...]

   Quit smoking: [Brother Guang! I kneel down for you! Give it a chance! 】

  Guang: 【...wait for a few more days, there will be a hundred qualifications released in a few days, believe me, everyone will have a chance! 】

  The members of the group were in high spirits again.

  Chu Guang tried to calm the emotions of the group of friends, but found that it was useless at all. At the moment, other management is in the game, and they can't control this side at all.

   I can't go on like this...

  How about another qualification?

  Chu Guang touched his chin and began to think.

  Anyway, the food reserve in the base is about ten kilograms. With a gun, you can hunt immediately. It should be no problem to have two more pairs of chopsticks...

  By the way, food!

  Chu Guang's eyes flickered, and he was typing on the keyboard.

  Guang: [By the way, we still lack a chef here. 】

  Guang: [Test the cooking system. 】

   What Chu Guang didn't expect was that after he sent this message, the quarrel in the group became more motivating.

  Not everyone knows woodworking, but the threshold for a chef is too low.

  Who doesn’t know how to make two dishes and one soup these days?

   It doesn’t matter if you have hands!

Regardless of whether the meeting is real or not, the old buddies in the group are better than the other, such as "I can fry a plate of Kung Pao Chicken with my eyes closed", "Spicy chicken, my dog ​​can know it" all ran out, just He almost boasted that he was the reincarnation of the God of Cookery, and the God of Cookery descended to earth.

  For the qualification of the beta test, these netizens did everything they could, but they couldn't beat Chu Guang.

  What the **** should I choose!

   The debate lasted for half an hour, and it didn't subside until an old man posted his New Oriental certificate.

  This thing is indeed more convincing than bragging.

  Chu Guang immediately announced the ownership of the sixth beta test qualification. After asking for the reservation number in a private message, he went offline at the speed of light.

   Thanks to the leader of "Snow Ridge" for the reward!
