This Game Is Too Realistic

Dimit and his men fled.

The group continued to head north, towards Xizhou City.

Watching the soldiers wearing jet-black exoskeletons go away, the man hiding among the refugees breathed a sigh of relief and took his hand back from the worn-out cloak.

Meeting strangers in the wasteland is never a good thing. Sometimes the trigger of conflict may be just a look.

In most cases, both parties will consciously avoid each other. But if one of them stopped and even approached...

What will happen is hard to say.

Especially he felt a murderous aura from those people.

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

The leader of the refugee team was also aware of this. After the uninvited guests were far away, he immediately shouted in front of the team.

"Dawn City is just ahead!"

"There is a shelter and a warm bed there... as well as hot water and food. Please hold on, 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?"

The woman carrying the child on her back had a sad look on her face.

"How long do we have to wait..."

Facing those pairs of eyes, the leader was silent for a while and said.

"They promised it on the radio."

"No matter what, we have to give it a try."

…

Vault 404.

After taking a shower, he returned to the single room, lay down in the training cabin, closed the hatch cover, 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 was like blinking an eye.

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

Under the chorus of snoring from his roommates, Ye Wei sat up from the bed, rolled over and got out of bed. After quickly washing up, he stuffed the textbook into his backpack.

There will be a morning class to attend soon.

Even if he decides to pursue a career, he has no intention of completely putting aside his studies.

After all, it was a prestigious school no matter what, and he had managed to get into it, so he still planned to give an account of his hard work.

After playing "Wasteland OL" for so long, Ye Wei has already become accustomed to the switching of character identities between reality and virtuality.

In the past, when he passed by the window, he would look at her suspiciously, but now he would just sigh and say how nice it is to be with him.

"Awei, help me hold a seat."

There was a sleepy sound above his head. Ye Wei looked up and was surprised to see Brother Liu waking up.

"Huh? Brother Liu woke up so early."

"Nima...the tap is popping 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."

Others were still snoring and sleeping soundly.

After putting on his shoes, Ye Wei said helplessly.

"There are air bubbles in the water pipes and I can't do anything about it. I'm driving too low... If you have poor sleep quality, you might as well make an appointment with me. At least I can help you get a good night's sleep. It's not expensive anyway."

Lying on the bed, Brother Liu trembled as if he had PTSD, shook his head and said.

"No, no, good brother, I really don't have the wisdom to practice your magical skills."

"hehe!"

If you don’t believe it, just ask!

Ye Wei stopped talking nonsense, picked up three books from the roommates' tables and stuffed them into his bag, then went out to the cafeteria.

I have classes all day long.

I have to go on a "far trip" in the evening.

Ye Wei and Fang Chang made an appointment to collect 40,000 silver coins together to purchase some Shuguang City specialties and transport them to Boulder City to exchange for chips.

No. 81 Steel Plant and Goblin Technology also entrusted them to help purchase second-hand equipment, and were willing to settle at an exchange rate of 1 chip and 3 silver coins, 㳎 silver coins.

This exchange rate includes 50% shipping fee.

The specific operation method is that the cattle and horse team 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, and the two clients decide which one to take. , what is the transaction price in your mind, and how to shoot it specifically.

This time, it is conservatively estimated that the profit can be more than doubled.

Thinking of this, I drank two pieces of original soy milk and Ye Wei at one hour, and exchanged them for three yuan for black sesame seeds. Two vegetarian buns for three yuan were also replaced by three yuan for one meat bun with sauce.

It's full of flavor after one sip.

So cool!

While eating, Ye Wei thought about it and went to the classroom to take a look at the forum. At this moment, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

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

Jiujiu: "Brother, is this the game you play?"

Jiujiu: "[Link]"

The bun and the phone almost fell to the ground together. Ye Wei quickly freed up his hand and typed a reply.

"Where did you get the link???"

Jiujiu: "In the group. 0, 0"

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

Jiujiu: "You are just a child! I am an adult! (angry)"

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

This guy absolutely went to fill out the form!

Ye Wei suddenly panicked when he thought of his own ID.

Didn't this guy die on the spot?

"Jiujiu, cough, listen to my brother, this game is too deep for you to grasp, and it is extremely unfriendly to Meng. You should put learning first."

Jiujiu: "Oh."

Ye Wei: "..."

Gan!

Ye Wei scratched his head anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.

or……

Please ask Brother Guang to open a back door for me and issue a name change card?

But this is not good.

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

calm down.

After the Beta 0.2 version, the number of players who have made reservations has skyrocketed, with millions of people queuing up to make reservations, and 30 to 40 activation codes are issued every day, so the possibility of squeezing in is extremely slim.

After waiting in line, she probably gave up.

After figuring this out, Ye Wei finally felt relieved. He found a four-connected spot in the middle of the classroom, threw his bag up, and then logged into the official website of "Wasteland OL" on his mobile phone.

At seven o'clock sharp.

Brother Guang's update announcement has finally been sent out.

But what he didn't expect was that Juyi also sent them a server-wide announcement.

[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to the "Burning Corps" for becoming the first LV2 Corps in the closed and beta test server! (Since the corps leader chose to make the achievement public, this achievement is now used as a group honors program and the Hall of Fame)]

Commander Quan Shui: "Holy crap! So fast!?"

The edge of the water: "Let's start something!"

Tails: "Hey! The Bear Knights have just arrived in Honghe Town! There is someone here who has passed LV2!!!! ∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ"

Si Si: "O Wei, please wake up, we are not a corps, we are a caravan registered in the Trade Union."

Tails: "Ouch, I got confused._(:з"∠)_"

Fang Chang: "Go away, you're just driving something if you fight well? This is called strength! (Proud)"

Makabazi: "It's unreasonable. The corps system is too strong. Professional players are born in hot water. Woohoo, please plan to cut it!"

Mole on the run in the canyon: "Gan! You are hurting others without benefiting yourself!"

Envy is envy, the Mole Skeleton Corps is almost at LV2, and only has two missions left. Although I didn't get the Hall of Fame achievement, the budget provided by LV2 is still very good.

And——

Perhaps hearing the calls of professional life players, Gou Planning suddenly released a "Beta 0.21 upgrade patch".

When he saw the words "Adjustment of gameplay mechanism of Corps system", Mole had an ominous feeling in his heart.

[Adjustment content:

1. The corps has added an attribute interface. The main attributes are "scale" and "logistics". Each time you upgrade to a level, the two attributes will increase by 1 point simultaneously. For example, the scale and logistics corresponding to LV2 are both 2.

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

3. Logistics points exchanged for equipment and ammunition loss will be borne by the alliance. The weapons are kept in the arsenal during wartime. During wartime, the baggage troops are responsible for transporting them to the front line. The quartermaster NPC is responsible for management and deployment. During non-wartime or when performing special tasks Missions may not use "corps equipment".

4. You can get one point for each level up, which can be freely allocated in "scale" and "logistics", and can also be spent to upgrade "doctrine".

5. Doctrine represents the tendency of the development of the corps. If players are good at large-scale combat, they can choose the "Light Infantry Doctrine" to be the vanguard of the sea of ​​​​people, and get the "100% scale bonus", leading your teammates to become a leader. You can also choose special operations under this doctrine to obtain the "Light Infantry Equipment Point Cost -50%" BUFF, and lead your teammates to block and kill.

Players who are good at blitzkrieg can choose the armored spearhead under "Mobile Combat Doctrine" to obtain the "-50% armor unit point cost" buff. You can also choose to play it safe with the Erbutan synergy and give half of the Erbu point discount to Qingwuhu.

The "fire superiority" doctrine is divided into fire coverage and infantry and artillery coordination. It is recommended to leave skill points to "logistics" and equip yourself with a few more cannons and ammunition boxes. You are not on a "scale" anyway.

6. LV2, LV10, and LV20 corps can each unlock a doctrine slot. Each corps can carry a limited number of doctrines, and players can match them according to their own needs. But please remember that once you select a major category of doctrine, you cannot choose exclusive branches under other major categories. Whether you charge on the front line or work as a gunner 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 can make choices in gameplay and maximize their own advantages.

But that armored spearhead...

Do they have tanks? ?

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

The only units in the alliance that can be called armored units at present are those trucks carrying four-unit anti-aircraft guns.

Or will it happen in the future?

Of course, these are all trivial matters. After all, it is still in the beta testing stage, so it is normal that it has not been developed yet.

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

In the past, they used to fire bullets before fighting. After the battle, the official bullets were released to themselves. The battle settlement interface allocated a 20% profit to compensate players for equipment losses.

This update has made a change in the gameplay mechanism, which is to separate personal equipment and corps equipment.

"...The equipment of the corps can be exchanged for points. The quartermaster appointed by the alliance is responsible for the management of the arsenal and the replenishment of the inventory."

"Is this a distinction between private equipment and corps equipment?"

From now on, you can no longer use the remaining ammunition from the campaign to do missions outside the campaign.

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

Hey, everyone is discussing this matter.

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

Elf King Fugui: "But you can take other professions other than your own job, but you can't use public guns and armor. (Funny)"

Garbage Picking Level 99: "Hahaha, hurry up, the two of you, give way to the brother in front."

Canyon Escaped Mole: "I've finished reading! Let's briefly summarize. There are two key points in this change. One is that logistics power is returned to the central government, and the allocated 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 monitored and verified by the Quartermaster NPC before it can be used under specific circumstances!"

"The equipment redeemed by points is bound to the corps and cannot be traded. Normal losses will be replenished. Malicious damage will require double compensation and will be adjudicated by the AI."

Thunder King: "Holy crap! The issue of silver coins has been changed to points? The corps system has been weakened at an epic level! (Horror)"

Canyon Escaped Mole: "Actually, it hasn't been reduced. It's just that there are more people serving as slaves, so the loopholes in the rules have been plugged."

In the past, when budgets were issued, players could freely spend their military expenditures and buy their own equipment. It was okay when there were few people, but now that there are more people serving as servers, there is inevitably room for rent-seeking by power.

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

Now that military expenditures have been changed to points, procurement, logistics, and weapons maintenance are collectively responsible for the alliance, so there is no longer the problem of using military expenditures to make money for oneself.

For those who had no intention of being clever from the beginning, this change cannot be said to be a weakening. On the contrary, the logistics system is handed over to the AI, and players can focus more on the front line.

Lightning Dharma King: "Damn! There are so many restrictions. Only the devil can play with the corps system. I will just let you go to the front line. Isn't it good for me to run the business myself?"

Ye Wei was immediately happy when he saw these words and couldn't help but pick out the words and reply.

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

King Thunder and Lightning: "?"

Canyon Escaped Mole: "Didn't you qualify for the closed 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 just luckier than me. If I were in it, I would have graduated with full level and equipment earlier!"

Fang Chang suddenly appeared.

"In wartime, it is the obligation of every citizen to fight for the alliance. Giving up the obligation is deemed to give up everything, which includes all the property in the game. Don't always think that you are smart, and don't always think that you can represent others. , there should be something else in your life besides playing tricks, there’s no need to just play a game like this (squinting).”

Canyon Escaped Mole: "I agree with Brother Fang, and the gameplay adjustment will not affect the income of the corps system. The rewards of the campaign are reflected in the settlement interface, population, resources, land, etc. are all possible. Add another trivia, Silver coins are just one of the currencies of the new alliance, and the alliance remembers your contribution to the alliance more clearly than you do (funny)."

He fell silent.

But he still didn't understand.

Why did this update take away the logistics power of the Corps? These T0 and T1 players did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Instead, it was him, a cloud player who was not even qualified for closed beta testing, who said "No" 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 clever and a little wise, but his structure is not as good as that of a student.

Suppose there is an open loophole in the rules and someone takes advantage of it to make money. If you don't take advantage of it, you will suffer losses and you will be eliminated from the competition. Even if they know that taking advantage of loopholes will harm the interests of the collective, individuals will inevitably make choices that are most unfavorable to the collective out of "individual optimal solutions."

When everyone is trapped in a prisoner's dilemma, no one will be the real winner, and the final outcome must be a lose-lose situation.

For the players in the Alpha round of testing, the New Alliance is a utopia they built in an uninhabited wasteland with their efforts brick by brick. The significance of this game is far more than just a game. Their There is far more than just those few silver coins in his eyes.

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

Lose equipment and experience.

It's better than resetting the servo.

…

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 started to operate, light returned to the shelter, and Chu Guang finally received the notification that the mission was completed.

[Manager permission number 401 has been obtained. 】

"It's done... What are you going to do about the manager's permission rights?" Yin Fang looked at Chu Guang, "The managers here are dead. If they don't set their last words, the default is to follow the order of numbers by living. The residents inherit——”

Just when Yin Fang was giving Chu Guang advice, Chu Guang stretched out his hand, extinguished the lamp above his head with a slight wave, and turned it on with a gentle wave.

Yin Fang was stunned.

"...When did you get it?"

"Your reaction is as if it was the first time you saw me using administrator permissions in other shelters. Wasn't it the same in shelter 117 before?" Chu Guang gave him a strange look.

Yin Fang's expression was a little strange.

"Isn't Vault 117 the last words of the previous manager...Forget it, it's not an important sentiment anyway."

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

The administrator's office in Vault 401 is completely different from that in Vault 117.

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

As soon as Yin Fang entered the door, he took aim at the silver coffee machine with a square head and square head on the table. He was as surprised as if he had discovered a new world, and he couldn't put it down and hugged it in his arms.

"KW-8241T type! I've seen it in a magazine! It's incredible that it actually appears here!"

"Magazine?"

Yin Fang chattered.

"Of course it's a pre-war magazine. Compared to the KW-8241 prototype, this model of coffee machine has 4 more special roasting techniques, and its appearance is more academically designed for researchers! Look at this sci-fi look, which to an outsider I can’t even find the water outlet! Uh, it seems to be broken, but it’s not a big problem. It should work after repairing it... Can I take it with me?”

As he said that, he looked over with hope.

"...It's up to you."

Chu Guang glanced sideways at this guy.

Anyway, I don’t have any hobby of collecting this stuff.

If you want it, just take it.

…

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

The shelter has been reopened.

After he returns, he will arrange for staff from the logistics department to clean the place and place the newly produced dormant cabins in various rooms.

The reborn Shelter 401 will serve as a newbie village for the B-round testing department, accommodating at least a thousand new players.

As for the planting area in the refuge, Chu Guang plans to use it for breeding and supply high-quality seeds to the large farmland on the west side of the long-term farm.

Sitting on Nico'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 moment to look at the forum.

The light blue window was projected directly on his retina. Chu Guang picked out a few posts from familiar IDs and took a look.

Regarding the changes in the Beta 0.21 version, players each have their own interpretations and opinions.

However, no matter what their views are, reform of the Corps system is imperative.

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

It is the first part of Chu Guang's military reform plan to return the logistics power to the alliance center and have it uniformly deployed by a specialized logistics department.

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

What surprised Chu Guang was Commander Quan Shui's post.

This guy rarely wrote guides back then, but this time he wrote quite a few words.

In addition to a detailed analysis of the doctrines of each branch of the Corps system, this guy also asserted at the end of the post that the adjustment of the Beta 0.21 version is to prepare for the new expansion pack.

And the content of the expansion pack.

It is probably related to the "Northern Expedition"!

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

"Quite smart."

Although this is a show of affection.

…

The next day.

North of Shuguang City.

Next to the neat airport runway is the New Alliance military camp.

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 wear uniform uniforms, but also carry uniform equipment.

Standing next to Chu Guang, Vanus looked quite proud.

"how?"

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

"very good!"

There are 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.

A few 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.

There are far more threats in the wasteland than just predators.

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

Although the players are powerful in combat and have the advantage of being "immortal", the construction of standing corps cannot be relaxed.

Players cannot be online 24 hours a day.

There are always things that players can't do.

And these feelings can only be accomplished by people in this world.

After the review is over.

Chu Guang took advantage of everyone's attention and held a combat meeting.

In addition to the corps commanders of the 1st and 2nd Corps, senior officials of the new alliance including Luca from the Logistics Department also participated.

Without wasting time, Chu Guang went straight to the topic in the opening remarks.

"The Torch's armed forces attacked our transport team escorting the fuel rods, and the remaining armed forces fled north. Although there were only eight people, they were well-equipped and well-trained. If they were allowed to join the Bone Chewing Tribe, I'm afraid It's going to cause us big trouble this fall."

"The current war between the Snake Clan and Honghe Town is at a stalemate, and they can't spare any time to deal with us. If I were them, I would most likely choose the resting Ya Clan in Xizhou City as a support opponent, instigating them to go south, and continue what happened last year. A battle that ended abruptly.”

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

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

Especially wrenches.

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

However, when those cunning villains saw the Black Snake's defeat, they turned around and ran away with their tails between their legs!

He has waited too long for this moment!

Looking at his subordinates who were highly motivated to fight, Chu Guang put his hands on the map and continued in a serious tone.

"The Northern Expedition will start next month. The goal is to expel every Ya clan that is entrenched in Xizhou City!"

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

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

"Since neither Great Rift Valley nor Boulder City wants to deal with those stinky bitches——"

Chu Guang's fist landed on the map and he said with firm eyes.

"Then let's go!"

——

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