Chapter 220 New talent! with New Years event!

  Cow and horse club group.

   Today is as lively as ever.

  Since Ye Shi and Kuangfeng became the first perception and intelligence players of "Wasteland OL" respectively, the name of the Niu Ma Squad has become well-known on the forum.

   Some people on the forum got the group number from nowhere, and now people join the group every day.

  In order to prevent some strange people from entering, and to prevent people from harassing Ah Guang, the group leader, Lao Bai, simply closed the application for joining the group.

  Looking at the posts on the forum, it is said that two awakened strongmen were born on the server today.

   And they are all strength.

   One of the unlocked talents is [Berserker], which is "half intelligence to strength attribute", and the other is [Fighting Zeal], which is "Agility and Constitution +10%". Both talents need to be activated actively, the duration is 1~2 minutes, and the CD is not very long.

   Now the entire gossip board is clamoring, asking the official to open a channel for reselecting gene sequences, and it is best to enable the function of modifying gender.

  However, the officials don't seem to want to pay attention to it, and the planning of Aguang has not bubbled up during the whole process.

  Because the topic on the forum couldn't be inserted at all, everyone came to the group.

  There are mosquitoes in WC: "Hey, I envy you to upgrade so fast."

  Quit smoking: "Hahaha, let's download the book together Brother Mosquito, it's fun in the tunnel! I'm already LV5!"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Fuck, even quitting smoking is LV5!"

  Quit smoking: "What do you mean I am LV5! I have been in the game for more than a month, okay! (angry

   Mosquitoes in WC: "Tsk."

  If it wasn’t for entering the game too early and not knowing much about the gameplay, Fang Chang, who has no brains, chose an agility department, and the second intelligence department awakener in the whole server would definitely be him!

   But he is not the most unlucky, the real unlucky ones are the two directors of No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant next door.

  When the two brothers entered the game, they heard that the power department was their father, so they chose all of them without saying a word, but now they are even more confused, and there are not many opportunities to strike with a hammer.

  Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes: "Time flies, before we know it, we've been closed beta for almost three months?"

  Fang Chang: "The novice period of this game is really a bit long. It took three months to reach LV10. I don't know if the difficulty will be adjusted after the closed beta."

  Ye Shi: "How much do you say the full level is?"

  Fang Chang: "Ghost knows, the official has never mentioned the level cap, but I feel that there may be a hurdle at level 40 or 50, and then it will be released gradually according to the progress of the expansion pack, probably similar to WOW."

  Old Bai: "I think you think too much. With the current speed, whether you can reach level 40 by this time next year is a problem!"

  After level ten, Lao Bai felt that the difficulty of leveling up had obviously increased a lot.

  Before when the level was low, the progress bar of tree cutting could see a significant improvement, but now tree cutting only increases proficiency, and the progress bar does not move at all, and I don’t know if it has increased.

   This is much more difficult than the MMORPG he played before!

  Recalling that the tomato scrambled eggs also awakened a few days ago, Lao Bai continued to pick words.

   "Brother Chaodan, what is the talent you unlocked?"

   Tomato scrambled eggs: "balanced."

  Old Bai: "Equilibrium?"

  Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "Yes, the name is Balance, and the effect is to convert half of your physique into strength within one to two minutes."

  Ye Shi: "Damn it?! Is it so awesome?!"

  Guangfeng: "It can be said to be a magical skill..."

   Convert half of your constitution into strength.

   Wouldn’t it be able to carry and output again? !

  If the constitution system can master this skill, at least half of the battlefield dominance of the strength system after level 10 must be divided by the constitution system!

   After all, the defense provided by the strength attribute is really pitiful.

   In the middle and long range, the impact of the power attribute on DPS is mainly reflected in the control of the weapon and the distance of the thrown object.

  Unless the distance is shortened to the limit, in most cases, the damage bonus provided by the strength attribute is marginally diminishing!

  Unless there is equipment that can better display the value of the strength system.

   Like the loyal "Golden Toilet", or a chainsaw gun or something...

   On the other hand, in the constitution system, after the attribute point exceeds 10, even if it is not as exaggerated as the "breathing and returning blood" in FPS games, the effect of quickly stopping bleeding after being shot is very useful.

  If you don't hit the vital point, you can at least carry two more shots!

  After awakening, even bandages can be saved!

  Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "What a hammer, my old man's 'regeneration of severed limbs' is called a magical skill, okay? Arms can grow back even if they fall off!"

  Fang Chang: "Awesome!"

  Guang Feng: "Isn't this Nima a skill of a different species?!"

  Irena is not in the Cow Horse Club group, but the people in the group are familiar with each other in the game, and occasionally form a team together.

  Especially on the forum, he and Ye Shi often exchange funny emoticons.

  Hearing that he actually unlocked the passive of "no upskilling", everyone was envious for a while.

  Guang Feng: "I feel that the spring of the intelligence department has not arrived, but the spring of the physique department is coming. (sigh

   Quit smoking: "Hey, the physique system is ecstatic! (Show teeth

  Ye Shi: "This is very unreasonable. I thought I would unlock the "iron stomach" of the rat man. I didn't expect to unlock the regeneration of bears and lizards. (Funny

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Talk about Ye Shi, Kuang Feng, have you tried your two talents? Is it easy to use?"

  Ye Shi: "I tried it, and it feels average. Ah Guang said that the talent I unlocked is pretty awesome, but I don't feel it at all. (Helpless

  The talent he acquired was "Killing Intuition".

  According to the description of the talent, it is a passive trigger, and can feel the subjective killing intent at the conscious level.

  And the stronger the killing intent, the stronger the feeling!

  Different from the perception that uses light, sound, smell, vibration and other factors as the medium, this kind of perception does not seem to need to borrow a material medium, but directly reads the killing intent at the level of consciousness in an unknown way.

  Brain waves?

  Heart rate?

   Or some unknown "field"?

   There is no specific scientific explanation given in the talent description, maybe the operators themselves don’t know how to edit it.

  Aside from these trivial problems, there is actually a big problem with this talent, that is, it is severely attenuated by distance!

  The farthest trigger range in open land is only 800 meters to 1 kilometer, and in the indoor environment, the maximum capture range may be a house with three or four floors.

   To be honest, this distance is somewhat tasteless for the perception system.

  After all, before Ye Shi was awakened, he relied on the bonus of perception attributes to capture the faint reflection of the sniper scope 1 km away.

  According to Fang Chang's analysis, the real function of this murderous intuition should be to guard against sneak attacks.

  For example, when they were at the ecological experiment base before, with Ye Shi's perception, they didn't notice the "high agility unit" lurking in the forest - Death Claw.

  And if you have a murderous intuition, you may be able to find it the moment you are targeted.

  But thinking about it the other way around, if the opponent restrains his killing intent, or doesn't notice them at all, then this talent may be useless.

  In general, this talent is still useful.

   But the usefulness is not as great as imagined!

  Guangfeng: "Mine is similar...the name is overclocking, and the effect is probably similar to Lao Bai's intelligence version, which gains 150%~200% brain work efficiency bonus. The duration is a little longer, about 30 seconds."

  To be honest, this talent is probably even weaker than Ye Shi's "killing intuition".

  At least for the current version of the intelligence system, what is missing is not attributes at all, but the ability to convert attributes into damage.

  For example, the manipulator is a tool that can "convert intelligence attributes into DPS", but there is a limit to the output power of the manipulator, especially after awakening, this is particularly obvious.

  When the intelligence attribute is below 10, every increase in the attribute point can increase the maximum working efficiency of the manipulator by 10%, and the coordination with the muscles will be more coordinated, and the control will be more precise. But when the intelligence attribute exceeds 10, the improvement effect is negligible.

  Guangfeng’s own analysis is that at this time, two more manipulators should be installed, or a third arm should be implanted, or even a multifunctional arm, just like "Dr. Octopus".

   Another way of thinking is to use neural connection equipment to operate drones or ground unmanned vehicles in multiple threads, and turn your brain into a "drone hive" that dominates the drone swarm.

  However, if you want to take these two paths, there is a prerequisite, that is, you can buy these two things on the shelves of the NPC store.

   This is really hard!

   Quit smoking: "Damn, intelligence bonus? That's a bit cheating..."

  Guangfeng: "It can't be completely cheated, maybe the usage needs to be developed a little bit."

   "..."

   Flipping through the chat records in the group, Chu Guang silently collected the experience summed up by the young players in text documents.

  Although his background can see the skills of each player, all he can see is the panel data. The specific situation still depends on the evaluation comments of the players.

   "...The physique system after awakening may enter a strong period. Talents focus on the enhancement of survivability, and the types of talents are more abundant than other systems."

  However, this sequence is somewhat dependent on talent, and not everyone can master the magical skill of "balance".

  In addition, even after the awakening of the intelligence department, the combat effectiveness still has not been significantly improved.

   It seems that this sequence is very unfriendly to newcomers.

   It’s okay to take the life career route, but the combat career route relies too much on foreign aids, and I’m afraid it will cost a lot of money.

   "Xiao Qi."

  Following Chu Guang's call, Xiao Qi's voice floated from the side.

   "Here it is, master."

  Chu Guang marked the document and leaned back on the chair.

   "Please help me sort out the content in the document and update it to the settings set on the official website."

   "There will be 300 newcomers in the Alpha1.0 version, and these materials should be able to provide them with some help."

   After listening to Chu Guang's instructions, Xiao Qi said energetically.

   "No problem, leave it to Xiaoqi without worry!"

   As soon as the voice fell, a cute little Keli popped up on the table and gave him a thumbs up to cheer him up.

  Although 90% of them were emoticons stolen from the forum, Chu Guang still couldn't help smiling, feeling that the fatigue of a day's work had been dispelled a lot.

   Turn off the emoticon package, Chu Guang is planning to edit the copywriting for the New Year's Day event.

   And at this moment, footsteps came from outside the office.

   After knocking on the door twice, Dr. Yin Fang opened it and walked in.

  He held a round silver-white earphone in his hand. The shell looked like aluminum alloy, not too heavy, and the volume was considered small. After wearing it, it could cover half of the ear.

  There is a camera on the front end of the earphone, which is perpendicular to the hanging ear, and it can just face forward after wearing it.

   If you want to take a photo, just press the button on the side of the headset. And if you want to take a video, you can press and hold it for two seconds, and press it again to turn it off.

  Put the headset on Chu Guang's desk, and Dr. Yin Fang continued.

   "I made the earphones you want for you. According to what you said, in addition to the two functions of video recording and taking pictures, the communication function is added."

"However, I have to remind you that the VM... that is, the vital sign monitor has a very wide range of signal transmission and reception, up to twenty kilometers, but the bandwidth of information transmission is not very large. Text and images are fine, If you're going to be streaming audio, or even video, you'll probably have to get a portable radio for it as well."

  Chu Guang tried to understand this sentence.

   To put it simply, the headset is matched with the VM, and it borrows components such as the communication chip and signal transmitter on the VM, so it can be made so compact.

  However, after all, VM is only a self-rescue tool for the wearer to be found by search and rescue personnel. Stability and reliability are the first elements, which makes it not suitable as a tool for long-distance large-scale data transmission.

   With the help of the vm signal transmitter, it is possible to use this headset to communicate between teams, and it is barely enough to communicate with outposts more than ten kilometers away, but it is still a bit difficult to open the "live broadcast".

   Unless, the distance to the signal tower is very close, or the team is equipped with a mobile station with stronger sending and receiving capabilities and a more professional mobile station.

  It is not difficult to solve this problem. Whether it is a signal tower or a mobile station, if you do not deliberately pursue high integration, lightness and compactness, it is no problem to use relatively "primitive" radio equipment.

   Not just a mobile station, Chu Guang also plans to build another signal tower in Jiujiu Farm, so that the signal can cover the area north of Yumu District, and provide information services for players who have explored further areas.

   Picking up the earphones on the table and looking at them for a moment, Chu Guang looked at Yin Fang and asked.

   "Just this one?"

   "Five in total."

  Yin Fang took out four more earphones from his pocket, put them on the table, and sighed softly.

"I have already transferred the design drawings to your computer, including the portable radio station. You can find someone to copy it, it is not very difficult... So please, don't bother me to do this kind of thing anymore, there is a lot of data that needs to be processed, And that robot, I'm already overwhelmed."

  Although he understands that the task of the scientific expedition team is heavy, he is the only one in the shelter who knows how to deal with those complicated carbon-based circuit boards.

   Made a helpless expression, Chu Guang looked at him and said.

"I try my best."

  After Yin Fang left, Chu Guang looked at the blueprint he sent to himself, and the content inside was very detailed.

  Includes where to gather the needed materials, how to process those collected materials, and how to put them together.

  Chu Guang plans to find a few survivors who understand radio in the future, and try to copy a few sets according to the steps on the blueprint. When the time comes, they will be assigned to the front-line team leader for unified command.

  After writing the plan in the work log, Chu Guang continued to edit the copywriting of the New Year's Day event.

  【"Wasteland OL" first New Year celebration! 】

  【Description: New Year's Day is an important festival in the wasteland! In order to celebrate another year of living and pray for good luck in the coming year, the scavengers on the wasteland often go out for food a week in advance to search for ingredients for the New Year's Eve meal!

  What magical delicacies will be loaded into the recipes for this year's New Year's Eve? What kind of magical animals will be eaten to extinction next year?

  The manager has prepared a mysterious gift for all residents who participated in the event. Participating is earning!

   In addition, the winner of the competition will also receive the honorable title of "Wasteland Gourmet"! And be counted in the Hall of Fame!

  The manager here reminds everyone again that safety always comes first!

  No matter what, don’t spoil your stomach!

   Unless you want to miss this celebration!

  ]

  【Event start date: December 25, 211 of the Wasteland Era to January 1, 212 of the Wasteland Era】

  【Requirement: Use ingredients that are easily obtained on the wasteland to make simple and delicious food. 】

   After reading the event plan from beginning to end, Chu Guang showed a satisfied expression on his face.

good!

  The only fly in the ointment is that such an important festival event cannot be paid for.

   If you add an event krypton gold bar, it will be exactly the same as the game of Goose Factory and Pig Factory!

  In order to prevent the players from dying and causing non-combat attrition, Chu Guang decided to appoint Yaya as a taster after careful consideration.

  I believe that the helpful Boss Crow will happily take on this task.

   "This way, nothing will go wrong!"

  The day after tomorrow is the 25th.

   After completing the final modification of the event plan, Chu Guang clicked twice with the mouse and set the sending time as tomorrow evening. Then he yawned and stretched, and went back to his room to sleep.

  …

  Perhaps it was due to being overworked recently, Chu Guang had a long dream at night.

  However, this dream cannot be regarded as a nightmare, at most it is a bit bizarre.

  The person chasing him to ask for DNA changed from Heya carrying the needle to Boss Xia.

   After waking up, Chu Guang sweated profusely all over his body. He waited for the players to go online and offline before getting up and going to the B3 floor.

  Medical laboratory.

  Miss Heya with silver hair is observing the sliced ​​specimens collected by the players.

   Seeing Chu Guang coming, she immediately stopped what she was doing, skillfully opened the scanning bed next to her, and patted the pillow.

   "Come on, lie down here."

  Perhaps because he was observing the specimen last second, Chu Guang always felt that the eyes she looked at him were somewhat "red fruit".

   But with Xiao Qi here, Chu Guang was not worried that someone in the shelter would hurt him.

   Seeing the sample obediently lying on the scanning bed, Heya excitedly walked to the terminal beside the bed, and pressed a few buttons on the touch screen.

  Accompanied by a slight current sound, the scanning device quickly started to work.

   After waiting for a while, the sorted attribute panel appeared in front of Chu Guang.

  【

  ID: Chu Guang

  Genetic Sequence: Manager (Phase 2)

  Level: LV.14→LV.15

  —Basic Properties—

   Strength: 17

   Dexterity: 11

   Constitution: 15→16

   Perception: 12

   Intelligence: 14

  ]

  Perhaps because of the recent exercise, his level has been raised by one level, and it is now LV15.

   "I don't know if I will wake up again after LV20."

  Chu Guang's gaze stayed behind the gene sequence, the bracketed "second stage" suffix.

  LV1 is the first stage, LV10 is the second stage, and in the same way, the third stage should be LV20?

  In addition, although he still hasn't figured out the upgrade rules of the manager sequence, Chu Guang can clearly feel that the upgrade is getting more and more difficult.

   "It's unbelievable... Your body's various values ​​are far beyond the range of normal people. How did you do this?!"

  Sitting in front of the terminal at the bedside of the scanning bed, Heya looked at Chu Guang incredulously, with strong interest written all over her face.

  Chu Guang was no stranger to this guy's fuss.

  Getting up from the bed and straightening his collar, he casually replied.

   "I want to know too, how about you research it for me?"

  Heya nodded and said.

   "No problem, but before that... I have something here that you should be interested in."

   Chu Guang cast a questioning look at her.

"what?"

   "Research on heterogeneous slime molds..."

   As she spoke, He Ya took a tablet turned into a VM from the side and turned it in front of Chu Guang.

"According to the slice samples provided by your 'players', my previous guess has been confirmed. Many slime mold variants, including gnawers, crawlers, sacrificial bombers, and tyrants, are not just descendants of mutant slime molds. Entities, and all physiological phenomena and biological behaviors such as their shape, predation, etc., are actually imitations aimed at us."

  Chu Guang slightly raised his eyebrows.

"us?"

   “Human beings, but not limited to humans, even including…machines.”

  Heya nodded lightly, paused for a moment, and then continued.

"For example, the tyrant... I found a form in its body that is highly similar to that of the corpse eater, and on the outside is another layer of hardened fruiting body structure that is completely different. 90 percent of the time, it was still able to keep hunting and use the organic matter it got from its prey to release spores, spread slime mold, and slowly repair damaged fruiting bodies."

   "Does this sound surprising?"

  Seeing Chu Guang gradually showing surprise on his face, He Ya continued to talk about her amazing discovery with joy.

   "It's imitating us. Although it's a poor imitation, it can't be said to be completely useless. It feels like... um."

   Frowning and thinking hard for a while, Heya seemed to be thinking about how to describe her discovery.

  However, Chu Guang understood.

  Adam's apple moved slightly, he tried to ask.

   "...it seems to be wearing a biomass exoskeleton or power armor on the outside of the gnawer?"

  Hiya's eyes lit up, she snapped her fingers and said.

   "That's right, that's the feeling! Isn't it amazing? No wonder those people are always clamoring to go out, the outside world is simply incredible..."

   Heya was still chattering excitedly.

  However, people's joys and sorrows are not connected. Chu Guang didn't feel her joy in discovering new species at all, and even saw a little headache.

  Biological armor that can repair itself, and the amazing imitation ability displayed by those slime molds... What kind of monster is this?

   "Is there any way to make the fruiting bodies of those slime molds edible?" Chu Guang interrupted Heya's eloquence, looking at her solemnly and asked.

  He Ya was slightly taken aback, and looked at him incomprehensibly.

   "Something that can be eaten? Why eat that kind of thing..."

  Chu Guang sighed softly.

   "Because I really can't think of a better way."

  —

  (The weather is getting colder, I have a cold, there is only one update today, and tomorrow will continue every day... Sorry to the brothers who are waiting for the update, I am really sorry T.T.

  New plot, new chapter, I have to think about it)

  (end of this chapter)
