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 was too small, Chu Guang found a slightly larger single room on the B1 floor and lent him it as his laboratory and "surgical operating room".

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

   This posture is intended to be at the post for board and lodging.

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

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

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

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

"Why bother?"

   If you avoid those energetic players too much, you will be easily targeted by them. Chu Guang is too experienced in this kind of thing.

  I hope that 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 the Alpha0.8 version have gradually mastered the gameplay, many interesting stalls have been opened in the market recently.

  For example, one sells ramen noodles, and the other sells fried rice.

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

  The latter is not a newcomer, it is said that he is an apprentice of [Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes], and his ID is [Spicy and Sour Potato Shreds], which sounds like a good name.

  However, due to the lack of supplies in the outpost, there are no eggs or old godmothers. Even though this man fried it very hard, he always felt that he was missing some soul when he tasted it. Chu Guang tried it once and never tried it again.

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

   "Master Manager, what would you like?"

   NPCs!

   And also a manager!

   Could it be that a hidden mission is about to be triggered? !

  Chu Guang has long been used to the fuss made by the newcomers, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

   Find a wooden table and sit down, he said.

   "A bowl of meat."

"okay!!"

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

  White mist rises, the smell of noodles mixed with the smell of meat makes the index finger move. Especially the meat in the bowl almost covered the noodles, it seems different from the rumors?

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

   "Damn! What a fool, why do I order so much meat?"

   "Exactly! This is too little!"

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

  Seeing the guests shouting and complaining, Zhang Hai didn't panic in the slightest, he didn't even take part in the performance, and licked it with confidence.

   "What's the noise? You're also an NPC? Can you send me hidden missions? 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 he didn't hear it and concentrate on eating his noodles.

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

  However, the market at the North Gate is getting busier every day.

  Everything is slowly getting better.

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

what a shame.

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

  Hope this **** winter will end soon!

  …

   After dinner.

  Chu Guang, who returned to the refuge, first went to wash his face, and then exchanged the 200 reward points obtained from completing the side missions into 2 advanced blind boxes.

   Perhaps because of washing his face, the reward offered by the blind box did not disappoint him very unexpectedly.

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

   "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, before opening these two blind boxes, he was a little pessimistic.

  After all, not long ago he launched the second hummingbird drone. From a metaphysical point of view, no matter how many times he had to face black, it was reasonable.

  However, the system did not follow the routine and threw an SSR at him.

  Chu Guang pondered, it must be because he usually likes to do good deeds.

  This character is simply against the sky!

  Recovered this set of exoskeleton from the conveyor belt, Chu Guang originally planned to take it to Boss Xia's weapon shop and hang it for sale.

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

  The reason is simple.

   So far, except for the one given out by lottery, none of the nine "Miner I" exoskeletons hanging in the store have been sold.

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

  2000 silver coins.

   There are only a handful of players in the server who can spend so much money.

The Type 5 "Light Cavalry" exoskeleton was used as police equipment in the pre-war society. Its performance in all aspects is obviously better than that of the miner I designed by the company, not to mention that it also comes with composite bulletproof armor. low?

  Take it to an enterprise on the east coast, if there is less of this kind of pre-war equipment, it can be exchanged for 5 sets of "Miner I"!

   "How many silver coins to sell can be negotiated. Miner Type I is a level 10 equipment, and Type 5 is a good thing...it must be level 15 or 20 to be reasonable."

   "The secondary equipment has not been sold yet, so there is no point in putting more advanced equipment on the shelves now, except to put it there to eat ashes."

  Since this is the case, why not take it to the guards and give it to NPCs who need attendance first.

  Under the premise of not destroying the balance of "Wasteland OL", this is also the best disposal method that Chu Guang can think of, which can make the equipment play its due value.

   Seeing that there were still single-digit reward points left, Chu Guang threw all of them on the primary blind box.

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

   And they are all the ones without attribute bonuses.

  However, Chu Guang didn't care.

  One cannot be too greedy.

   A set of exoskeleton has already been earned!

  The blind box is exhausted.

  Catching 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 "Baiju Guoxia" gene sequence has reached 10%. 】

Huh?

   "There are players who have reached level ten?"

   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!"

  Speaker on the wall, respond immediately.

   "Got it, master!"

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

  【

  ID: Baiju Guogao

  Gene sequence: strength system (second stage)

  Level: LV.9→LV10

  —Basic Properties—

  Strength: 12→17

  Agility: 6→7

   Constitution: 6→7

   Perception: 6→7

  Intelligence: 4→5

  ]

  【

  Talent:

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

  ]

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

   "Awakening of the power system, increase the main attribute by 5 points, and increase the rest of the attributes by 1 point... This panel data is fine."

   Especially the power of those 17 points is the same as my own!

   There is also the "Boundary Breakthrough", which can obtain a maximum strength bonus of 200% in a short period of time, and 17 points of strength will become 34 in seconds?

  Although the lack of durability is a problem, for melee players, the victory or defeat itself is a matter of an instant.

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

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

   "Awakening takes 6 to 8 hours, and the clone cannot be awakened during this time... It seems that my guess is correct, and the upgrade is all while sleeping."

   Maybe it's because the long body is sleeping?

  Chu Guang noticed that the training 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, there is no change, it is still 72 hours.

   After sorting out the information collected from Lao Bai, Chu Guang selectively updated it in the official website database.

  Hope this information can provide some reference for his players.

  …

Ten p.m.

  After tidying up the new room, Yin Fang came to the manager's office again and found Chu Guang.

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

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

   "Why do you need so many VMs?"

  Although the VM reserve on the B2 floor has nearly a thousand yuan, there are now a total of 500 players, and it is even less than 2 yuan for each player.

   Even without considering the natural attrition caused by unexpected circumstances, NPCs still need to issue tasks and communicate with players through VMs.

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

"Although I also want a professional computer for work, you obviously don't have one here," Yin Fang glanced at the retro "suitcase" computer on the desk, and continued, "VM's processor computing power Although it’s a bit weak, it’s still usable if you change it. If twenty yuan are connected together, it can barely meet my work needs.”

   Chu Guang shook his head and said.

   "Twenty VMs are too much! If you need computing power, the server in the shelter has enough computing power. I can give you some. What do you think?"

  Yin Fang's eyes lit up, and he said.

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

   "Three yuan," Chu Guang stretched out three fingers, "Is that enough?"

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

   "I'm not sure... To be honest, it's also the first time for me to try a temporary workstation like DIY. In the academy, all personnel above D level have their own independent laboratories, where they can engage in equipment modification and sample analysis—"

"That's really sorry, the conditions here are just like this, I can only trouble you to overcome it." After coughing slightly, Chu Guang looked at him seriously, and continued, "However, I assure you, I will let me Pay more attention when picking up waste. If you find a usable electronic device, it will be sent to you as soon as possible. As for the VM... that's all I can give you for now, let me know if it's not enough."

   "After all, it is in the early stage of entrepreneurship, right?" Yin Fang made a helpless expression, shrugged his shoulders, and expressed that he had no objection.

  He is clear about the difficulty of shelter No. 404.

  It was as clean as if it had been burglarized. He had never seen such a poor three-digit shelter. Not to mention the most basic facilities like sanitation stations, there is not even an automatic kitchen, and food has to be brought in from outside!

   It’s really embarrassing for the residents here, one and two are simply models among model workers, and the optimistic ones are hardly human.

  If they were to change to another shelter, the fact that the managers forced them to eat mutated food would probably be enough for them to revolt.

  Bringing three pieces of VM that he received from Chu Guang, Yin Fangzheng was going to walk out the door, but at this moment, Chu Guang suddenly remembered something, and called out to him.

"correct."

  Pausing 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 get the fuel rods?"

  Hearing this unexpected speech, Yin Fang was taken aback for a moment, and then was 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 himself has no idea how much energy can be used in shelter 404.

   So far, he has not unlocked the floor where the reactor is located. Even if he wants to refuel the shelter, there is no place to refuel. 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 much!

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

"The fuel rods for the shelter are not easy to find. After all, the original intention of the shelter plan was not to keep the survivors underground. Some shelters will even gradually shut down the life support system after opening, or adjust the full cycle to half-circle to urge the Vault Dwellers back to the surface to start rebuilding."

   Chu Guang frowned.

   "Does that mean there is no other way?"

   "No," Yin Fang shook his head. "As far as I know, the organization that designed the reactor for the shelter in the Central Continent area is Zhongzhou Aerospace. The reactor is of the same model as the 'Gonggong' series of space stations and the N series of spacecraft in terms of specifications."

   Chu Guang couldn't help but said.

   "I can't go to the sky to find this thing."

  Yin Fang nodded and said.

"Yes, it is really unrealistic to go to the sky to recover fuel rods. The situation there is not much better than that on the ground, and it 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 this kind of fuel rods...I heard that their backup generators are of a similar model."

   Chu Guang stared at him with piercing eyes.

   "Do you have any good plans?"

  Yin Fang hesitated and said.

   "I can't guarantee it, but I 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 usable fuel rods."

   If I remember correctly, there should be such facilities in the southern part of River Valley Province.

  And there should be some usable electronic equipment there, which is what Yin Fang urgently needs now.

  After listening to these words, Chu Guang stood up from the office chair with a bang, walked in front of him overjoyed, and put his hands on his shoulders.

"give it to you!"

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

   "All I can say is try to..."

   It is now the 211th year of the Wasteland Era. Before that, there have been three years of war. During these two long centuries, anything is possible.

  Even the nursing home on the surface of No. 404 has been patronized by scavengers more than once—it’s just that no one has discovered that there is actually a shelter hidden under the seemingly broken elevator.

  If the fuel rods can be obtained, not only the related missions of No. 117 Vault can be completed, but also the potential energy crisis of No. 404 Vault can be solved.

   Kill two birds with one stone!

  In a good mood, Chu Guang 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 reactor in the shelter will be the first task of the No. 404 shelter scientific research team.

  As the head of the scientific expedition team, Yin Fang can use this budget to recruit players to explore the target, or issue public rewards.

  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 usage of the budget, as well as the setting of the benchmark value of task rewards at each level, have been included in the "Refuge Resident Handbook (NPC Edition 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 the question mark icon on the manual page of the VM to ask the manager 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 have any feelings about things like silver coins, and instead took this opportunity to complain.

   "Are you still using metal currency? Don't you find it troublesome?"

  Chu Guang disagreed.

"Metal currency has the benefits 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 am also thinking about it recently. Set up a more convenient 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 his identity as a planner, and logged into the background page of the official website of "Wasteland OL".

  Before opening refuge 117, Chu Guang only recovered the power armor there, Dr. Principle’s suitcase and the manager’s VM, and there were still many areas that he hadn’t had time to explore carefully.

  Currently, there are two tasks left in his task bar.

   One is to refuel the reactor of No. 117 shelter. After completing it, you can get the administrator authority of No. 117 shelter.

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

   That is, take the VM to explore the entire area of ​​No. 117 Vault, and after completion, you can unlock the B3 floor of No. 404 Vault!

   Chu Guang has entrusted Yin Fang with the task of finding fuel rods.

  As for the latter task, the current exploration progress is 21%, and Chu Guang intends to hand over the rest to his little players.

  The alien species at the entrance of the refuge has been resolved, and the job of exploring the map itself is not difficult, so I just took this opportunity to distribute benefits to his players.

  I already have an idea in my mind.

  Chu Guang had a smile on his face, put his hands on the keyboard, and began to assign "tomorrow" homework to his little players—

  【Announcement: The player "Baiju Guoxia" has been upgraded to level 10, becoming the first strength player whose gene sequence development progress has reached 10%! 】

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

  【Activity content: Take VM to visit No. 117 shelter, check in all the scenes, and the exploration progress reaches 100%, you can get a mysterious gift! 】

  【Note: There is no time limit for the event, and you can claim it with a VM. To avoid traffic jams, players are requested to travel at staggered peak times! 】

   (Two updates will resume tomorrow!)
