Chapter 185 The Player's First Awakening

   The "black box" was borrowed by Yin Fang for research.

   Considering that the space on the B2 floor is too small, Chu Guang found a slightly spacious single room on the B1 floor to lend him as his laboratory and "surgery room".

   However, Chu Guang soon discovered that this guy not only stuffed personal belongings in, but also carried the bed and bedding together.

   This posture is to plan to eat and live on the post.

   For such a situation, Chu Guang, as a manager, deeply self-examined for a few seconds.

   It can be seen that his little player has indeed caused a lot of trouble to this Dr. Yin.

   But even so, Chu Guang still felt that Yin Fang's actions were a bit redundant.

   After all, as long as he plans to go to Area A on the second basement floor to eat and drink, it is almost inevitable to meet players who are interested in him.

"Why bother?"

  Tai avoids those energetic players, but is easily targeted by them. For this kind of thing, Chu Guang is too experienced.

   I hope Dr. Yin can adapt to the new life as soon as possible.

With a silent blessing in his heart, Chu Guang saw that it was getting late, so he got up and went to the market at the north gate of the outpost.

  As the newcomers of Alpha 0.8 gradually mastered the gameplay of the game, many interesting stalls have been opened in the market recently.

   For example, one sells ramen, and one sells fried rice.

  The former is run by a player who uses his real name as an ID. It is said that the meat is cut thinner than paper, and the noodles are as thin as the data cable, which is quite authentic.

   The latter is not a newcomer. It is said to be the apprentice of [Tomato Scrambled Eggs]. The ID is [Sour and Spicy Potato Shreds], and it is also a name that sounds quite delicious.

   However, due to the lack of supplies at the outpost, there are no eggs and no Laoganma. Even though this man fryed it very hard, he still felt a little less soul when he tasted it. Chu Guang tried it once, and then he didn't try it again.

   Seeing Chu Guang sitting down in front of his booth, Zhang Hai almost cut his finger in surprise.

   "Master Manager, what would you like to do?"

  NPCs!

   And also the manager!

   Is it going to trigger a hidden mission? !

   Chu Guang was used to the fuss of new people and didn't take it to heart at all.

   found a wooden table and sat down, he said.

   "A bowl of meat."

"okay!!!"

   After a while, the ramen was served on the table.

  The white mist rises, the fragrance of the noodles is mixed with the fragrance of meat, and the smell makes the index finger move. Especially the meat in the bowl is almost covering the noodles. It doesn't seem to be the same as the rumored one?

  Chu Guang was about to take a bite when he heard shouting from the side.

   "Fuck! Damn, why do I only order so much meat?"

   "That's right! This is too little!"

   "Seriously suspect, this **** has moved all the meat in our bowl to the manager's bowl!"

   Seeing the guests complaining loudly, Zhang Hai didn't panic at all, he didn't even act, he licked with confidence.

   "What's the noise, you are also an NPC? Can you send me a hidden quest? Can you let me rush from T5 to T0?"

  All players: "%￥#@!"

  “…”

   In order to prevent the players from transferring the conflict to himself, Chu Guang decided to pretend not to hear and concentrate on eating his own noodles.

   Since the end of the month, the weather is getting colder every day.

   However, the market at the north gate is bustling day by day.

  Everything is slowly getting better.

   The only fly in the ointment is that Yaya's mushroom stall seems to be closed, and Chu Guang has not seen her open for several days.

what a shame.

  Chu Guang quite liked the mushroom soup the little player made.

   Hope this **** winter ends soon!

  …

   After dinner.

   Chu Guang, who returned to the sanctuary, first washed his face, and then exchanged the 200 reward points for completing the side quests into 2 advanced blind boxes.

   Perhaps because of his face wash, the reward from the blind box surprisingly did not disappoint him.

   In addition to an EMP grenade, he actually got a set of Type 5 "Light Cavalry" light police exoskeletons!

   "Fuck! So washing your face is really useful?!" Looking at the equipment lying on the conveyor belt, Chu Guang had a surprised expression on his face.

  To be honest, he was a little pessimistic before opening these two blind boxes.

   After all, he just launched his second Hummingbird drone not long ago. From a metaphysical point of view, it would be reasonable to have to face black several times.

   However, this system did not play cards according to the routine, and directly threw an SSR to him.

  Chu Guang thought about it, it must be because he usually likes to do good things.

   This character is simply against the sky!

   The exoskeleton was recovered from the conveyor belt. Chu Guang originally planned to take it to Boss Xia's weapon shop and sell it.

   However, after thinking for a few seconds, he dismissed the idea.

   The reason is simple.

   So far, none of the nine exoskeletons hanging in the store have been sold, except for one that was given away by lottery.

   is not only because of the purchase threshold of "contribution level citizen, player level LV10", but also because the price of the equipment itself is there.

   2000 silver coins.

   There are only a handful of players who can take out so much money on the server.

As the police equipment of the pre-war society, the Type 5 "hussar" exoskeleton is obviously superior to the miner I-type designed by the company in all aspects, not to mention that it also comes with composite bulletproof armor, and the price cannot be higher than the latter. low, right?

   Take it to a company on the east coast, and if this kind of pre-war equipment is less, you can exchange for 5 sets of "Miner Type I"!

   "How much silver coins to sell can be negotiated. The miner type I is level 10 equipment, and the type 5 is such a good thing... It's only reasonable to have to level 15 or 20."

   "Secondary equipment has not been sold yet, so putting more advanced equipment on the shelf now is meaningless except to put it there to eat ashes."

  In that case, it's better to take it to the guards and use it first for NPCs who need to attend.

  Under the premise of not destroying the balance of "Wasteland Online", this is what Chu Guang can think of, and it is the best way to dispose of equipment to give full play to its value.

   Looking at the single-digit reward points left, Chu Guang threw them all on the primary blind box.

   However, the previous character outbreak seemed to have used up all the good luck. This time, nothing good came out, and all that came out were lollipops.

   And they are the ones without attribute bonuses.

   However, Chu Guang didn't care.

   One cannot be too greedy.

   A set of exoskeletons is already earned!

  The blind box is finished.

   To catch up with the peak of players going offline, Chu Guang originally planned to go to the forum to OB for a while, but just sat down in front of the computer, a line of light blue pop-up windows appeared in front of him.

  【System: The development progress of the player's "White Horses Over the Gap" gene sequence has reached 10%. 】

Huh?

   "There are players who are already level 10?"

  Chu Guang was surprised, and immediately opened the player list, and saw Lao Bai's number at a glance.

   "Xiao Qi, help me retrieve the player's attribute panel!"

   The speaker on the wall responds instantly.

   "Received, Master!"

   Soon, a table appeared on the computer screen on the desk.

  【

  ID: White Horse

  Gene Sequence: Strength (Second Stage)

  Level: LV.9→LV10

  ——Basic Properties——

  Strength: 12→17

  Agility: 6→7

   Constitution: 6→7

   Perception: 6→7

  Intelligence: 4→5

  】

  【

  Talents:

  Boundary Breakthrough (Strength): Break through the physical limit within 0.5~3 seconds, gain 150%~200% strength attribute bonus, 200%~400% fatigue accumulation speed, and 30s~1min cooldown.

  】

   Staring at the attribute panel, Chu Guang touched his chin with interest.

   "The power system is awakened, the main attribute increases by 5 points, and the other attributes increase by 1 point... This panel data is OK."

  Especially the power of those 17 points is the same as himself!

   There is also that "Boundary Breakthrough", which can get a maximum strength bonus of 200% in a short period of time, and 17 points of strength becomes 34 seconds in seconds?

  Although not durable enough is a problem, but for melee players, the victory or defeat itself is a matter of an instant.

   It is already very terrifying to be able to gain the power to rival mutants in a short period of time with the body of a human!

  Chu Guang has no doubts that his little players can make use of this skill.

   "Awakening takes 6~8 hours, and the clones cannot be awakened during this time... It seems that my speculation is correct, the upgrade is all time for sleep."

   Maybe it's because the long body is sleeping?

  Chuguang noticed that the cultivation cabin can speed up this process to a certain extent.

   In addition, after awakening clones, the active substance required for resurrection has changed from 1 unit to 2 units. As for the CD, nothing has changed, it's still 72 hours.

After   Chu Guang sorted out the information collected from Lao Bai, he selectively updated it on the official website database.

   I hope this information can provide some reference for his players.

  …

Ten p.m.

  Yin Fang, who had finished packing up the new room, came to the manager's office again and found Chu Guang.

   "Can you give me a few more VMs? Twenty is enough."

   Hearing this strange request, Chu Guang was stunned for a moment and looked at Yin Fangdao.

   "Why do you want so many VMs?"

  Although there are nearly a thousand pieces of VM reserves on the B2 floor, there are now a total of 500 players, and each player has less than 2 pieces in their hands.

   Even without considering the natural loss of unexpected situations, NPCs still need to issue tasks and communicate with players through the VM.

  Although Chu Guang has not encountered a shortage of VMs for the time being, the reserves of this thing are far from rich enough to be squandered at will.

"Although I also want a professional work computer, you obviously don't have one here." Glancing at the retro-looking "suitcase-type" computer on the desk, Yin Fang continued, "The processor computing power of the VM is Although it is a little weak, it can still be used if it is changed. If twenty pieces are connected in series, it can barely meet my work needs. "

  Chu Guang shook his head and said.

   "Twenty VMs is too much! If you need computing power, the server in the sanctuary has sufficient computing power. I can give you a little bit, what do you think?"

   Yin Fang's eyes lit up and said.

   "Of course that's the best! But even so, I still need a few VMs to act as screens and interfaces—"

   "Three pieces," Chu Guang stretched out three fingers, "is that enough?"

   Looking at these three fingers, Yin Fang scratched the back of his head with some headache.

   "I'm not sure... Honestly, it's my first time trying to DIY this kind of temporary workstation. In the academy, all D-level personnel have their own independent laboratory, which can be engaged in equipment modification and sample analysis work-"

"I'm really sorry, my conditions here are like this, I can only trouble you to overcome it." After a slight cough, Chu Guang looked at him seriously, and continued, "However, I promise you, I will let me People who are scavenging should pay more attention when scavenging. If you find a usable electronic device, it will be delivered to you as soon as possible. As for the VM...that's all I can give you for now, if it's not enough, let me know."

   "After all, it's in the early days of the business, right?" Yin Fang made a helpless expression, shrugged his shoulders, and expressed no opinion.

   He knew the difficulties of Vault 404.

   It was as clean as a thief. He had never seen such a poor three-digit shelter. Not to mention the most basic facilities such as a health station, there is no automatic kitchen, and food has to be brought in from outside!

   It’s really hard for the residents here, one or two are simply role models among the model workers, and the optimistic ones don’t look like humans.

  If they were to change to another shelter, the mere fact that the managers forced them to eat mutant food would be enough for them to rise up.

   With the three pieces of VM he received from Chu Guang, Yin Fang was about to walk out the door, but at this moment, Chu Guang suddenly remembered something and stopped him.

"correct."

   stopped at the door, Yin Fang turned around and asked.

"What's wrong?"

  Chu Guang continued.

   "If I want to refuel the Vault's reactor, where do I go to find fuel rods?"

   Hearing this unexpected remark, Yin Fang was stunned for a moment, but was instantly shocked when he came back to his senses.

   "What do you mean, your shelter is out of fuel?!"

  Chu Guang coughed and said.

   "Not my sanctuary, but one I... picked up recently."

   However, Chu Guang had no idea how much energy Vault 404 could use.

   So far, he has not unlocked the floor where the reactor is located. Even if he wants to refuel the shelter, he has nowhere to add. He can only hope that the current energy consumption rate of the shelter is still within the expectations of the first-generation managers.

   If GAMEOVER is due to a power outage, that would be too embarrassing!

   Hearing Chu Guang's explanation, Yin Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and continued after a pause.

"The fuel rods used in the shelters are not easy to find. After all, the original intention of the shelter plan did not consider keeping the survivors underground all the time. Some shelters will even gradually close the life support system after opening, or adjust the full cycle to A semi-circular to urge shelter residents to return to the surface and devote themselves to rebuilding.”

  Chu Guang frowned.

   "That means there is no way?"

   "No," Yin Fang shook his head. "As far as I know, the organization that designed the reactor for the Zhongzhou area refuge is Zhongzhou Aerospace. The reactor is of the same type as the 'Gonggong' series of space stations and N-series spacecraft."

  Chu Guang couldn't help but said.

   "I can't go to heaven to find this thing."

  Yin Fang nodded and said.

"Yes, it is not realistic to go to the sky to recover fuel rods. The conditions there are not much better than those on the ground, and may even be worse. However, although we cannot go to outer space, we can find some that have not been sent to outer space. Inventory. In addition, some research institutions associated with Zhongzhou Aerospace should also be able to find such fuel rods... I heard that their backup generators are similar models."

  Chu Guang stared at him with piercing eyes.

   "Do you have any good plans?"

  Yin Fang hesitated.

   "I can't guarantee it, but you can give it a try... If you can get the production data and product numbers of Zhongzhou Aerospace or its factories, you should be able to locate some fuel rods that can be used."

  If I remember correctly, there should be such facilities in the southern valley of the province.

   And there should be some electronic equipment that can be used there, which is what Yin Fang desperately needs now.

   After listening to these words, Chu Guangso stood up from the office chair with a bang, and walked over to him overjoyed, putting his hands on his shoulders.

"give it to you!"

   Facing the eager eyes, Yin Fang was stunned and said without confidence.

   "I can only say try my best..."

   It is now the 211 year of the Wasteland Era, and before that, there has been a three-year war. In these two long centuries, anything is possible.

   Even the sanatorium on the surface of No. 404 has been visited by scavengers more than once - but no one has found that there is a shelter hidden under the seemingly broken elevator.

   If fuel rods can be obtained, not only the related tasks of Vault 117 can be completed, but the potential energy crisis of Vault 404 can also be solved.

   is literally killing two birds with one stone!

   Chu Guang, who was in a good mood, waved his hand, and immediately allocated a "huge sum" of up to 10,000 silver coins to the project of recycling fuel rods.

   Finding fuel rods that can match the Vault Reactor will be the first task of the Vault 404 scientific research team.

  As the leader of the scientific expedition, Yin Fang can use this budget to recruit players to explore targets, or to issue public bounties.

   However, Chu Guang also warned him that it is best not to spend the money all at once, and sometimes giving too much may not be a good thing.

   The specific method of using the budget, as well as the setting of the benchmark value of each level quest reward, have been recorded in the "Refuge Resident's Manual (NPC Version in detail.

   This is a required course for every NPC in Vault 404.

  If you have any questions about one of the clauses, you can click on the question mark icon on the manual page of the VM to ask the administrator assistant "Xiaoqi". Xiaoqi, who is online 24 hours a day, will answer every question.

   However, just like when Boss Xia first came here, Dr. Yin didn't feel anything about silver coins, and instead took this opportunity to complain.

   "You guys are still using metal currency? Don't you find it troublesome?"

  Chu Guang disagreed.

"Metal currency has the advantages of metal currency. The sound of coins colliding can make people work harder, and coins that can be seen and touched are easier to be recognized by strangers... However, I'm also thinking about changing it recently. A more convenient set of currency. Go to your own business, you don’t need to worry about this problem, I will find a way to solve it.”

After Dr. Yin left.

   Chu Guang, who was sitting in front of the computer, switched back to the identity of the planner and logged in to the background page of the official website of "Wasteland OL".

   Before opening Vault 117, Chu Guang only recovered the power armor, Dr. Principle's suitcase, and the administrator's VM. There are still many areas that have not been explored carefully.

   There are two tasks left in his task bar.

   One is to refuel the reactor of Vault 117, and after completion, you can get the administrator authority of Vault 117.

  The other is a mission triggered by Dr. Principle's videotape.

   That is, take the VM to explore all areas of Vault 117, and after completing it, you can unlock the B3 floor of Vault 404!

   The task of finding fuel rods, Chu Guang has entrusted Yin Fang to solve.

   As for the latter quest, the current exploration progress is 21%. Chu Guang intends to leave the rest to his little players.

   The alien species at the entrance of the sanctuary has been resolved, and the task of exploring the map itself is not difficult, just take this opportunity to give benefits to his players.

   Already have an idea in mind.

   A smile appeared on Chu Guang's face, and he put his hands on the keyboard and began to assign "tomorrow" homework to his little players——

  【Announcement: The player's "white horses have gone through a gap" level has been raised to level 10, becoming the first power player whose gene sequence development progress has reached 10%! 】

  【Announcement: A new version is coming soon, the unlimited event "Our Neighbors" will open on time at 19:00 tonight! 】

  【Event Contents: Bring a VM to visit Vault 117, check in all the scenes, and reach 100% exploration progress to get a mysterious gift! 】

  【Note: There is no time limit for the event, you can get it with a VM. In order to avoid traffic congestion, players are requested to travel off-peak! 】

   (Two updates will be resumed tomorrow!)
