This Game Is Too Realistic

  Chapter 241 expansion is online! A visit with an old friend    [New expansion piece: "Sword for Plow"]

[Introduction: Winter has come to an end, and the season for All Living Things to Recover is coming. Right now is the critical period for spring plowing production and preparation work. Only by ensuring the food supply for the coming year can we wake up more compatriots to go to the surface and start the next stage of work. ]

[Content: from now on, "Wasteland OL" will open a series of missions that include farming, management and other related elements. Players can use VMs or find NPCs such as Luka, Guo Niu, Guo Ma, etc. receive. You can earn activity points by completing tasks with expansion tags.

After the expansion is over, the points can be used for lottery, redeem for expansion titles, special rewards, and agricultural land! 】

Happiness comes too suddenly.

There was no sign of the slightest sign, not even a publicity pv, the Alpha1.0 version and new expansions suddenly appeared on the bulletin board of the official website of "Wasteland OL".

Almost at the same time when the announcement was released, the little players who squatted on the official website to share today's game history, as well as the daily sand sculpture netizens, instantly boiled! In   less than a minute, the comments shua~ shua~ shua~ under the announcement popped up hundreds of floors.

Tail: "!!!"

Quit smoking: "New expansion?! Great!"

Makabazi: "Forging a sword into a plough? ! Activity points can be exchanged for land?! Fuck, my DNA has moved!!!"

Knife staying: "Life professional players are ecstatic!"

Fujito: "wu wu wu, I finally waited for the expansion of the life professional player. I can't help me at all in fighting. QAQ"

Ya Ya: "It's okay! Let Ya Ya fight, Fujito Responsible for making good-looking clothes! (@≥︶≤@)"

Ye Shi: "If you don’t understand, ask, has Boss been on the front line? (Funny)"

"?? Are you polite?"

Big eyes on debt: "Wait a minute, the first two expansions "Winter is Coming" and "Land Xingzhou", which one is the answer to the expansion Isn’t it a professional player in life!?"

I’m the darkest: "Yes! Don’t want to tamper with memory! Professional combat players also need expansions! (crazy)"

Battlefield Atmosphere Group "I beg for planning, let’s use another wave of robber! I just saved money to buy a foreign skeleton, and I spent money to make a bulletproof, and actually told me those robbers ran away! TT"

Spring Water Commander "I’ve known it a long time ago to buy a tractor with money, right? Fortunately, I saved the money. (squinting smile)"

Ye Shi: "I suggest that the next expansion is a Burning Crusade. I think We can completely knock down the Western Region city and help Fujifuji elder sister to open the northern market. (Funny)"

Irena: "Open the door, free trade? But I think the robber there is probably Can’t afford to buy clothes. (funny)"

Professor Yang of Raiden Karmapa: "Tsk, you guys, you are still too young to have no surplus value when you are poor? Can’t afford it? It’s easy to say, let’s build a few Plantation, send them in to grow cotton. Once you have a class, you should be able to afford it, right? (Ya)"

Ye Shi: "Fuck, my understanding of the version is actually not as good as Cloud player?!"

Old Bai: "Come to work in our brick factory, we hire you as the factory manager. (squinting smile)"

Professor Yang of the Thunder King: "Hey, Talking too much is a tear. TT"

Chu Guang briefly glanced at the comment area below the announcement, and found that the players' enthusiasm for the new version and the expansion was simply higher than the sky.

Many players have begun to share their experience of growing vegetables on the forum, and hardcore players have even posted design drawings of agricultural machinery on the forum.

Although most of these posts ended up crooked and turned into Versailles with acres of land in my family, there are still many lessons worth learning from.

I believe it will come in handy in the coming spring plowing.

If it is not for the characters in the game, they have to sleep, but in reality they have to go to work. Many players have already put on their helmets and went to work online.

There are also those Xiaomeng newcomers who have obtained the qualification for the closed beta, and they are ecstatic and have expressed their acceptance speeches.

As for the cloud players who did not get the qualification for the closed beta...

Although Chu Guang is also anxious for them, there is no way to worry about this kind of thing.

He is a real plan.

However, the game is not a real game. Even a wishing machine like the "black box" still needs electricity and materials to produce the dormant cabin, and the maximum daily output is 24 units.

Things that are not always impossible change out of thin air.

At present, there are almost 100,000 reserved players, but the remaining training cabins are only 300 units. Even if Chu Guang opens these cans, the probability of players winning is only 0.3%.It   is impossible to get everyone into the game.

Moreover, when the number of immigrants exceeds the limit of social capacity, it may not be a good thing.

Like the refugees on the wasteland, if they cannot be digested in a short period of time, they will instead become disruptors of existing rules and hinder development.

This is also one of the reasons why overwhelming majority online games on steam cannot be played once the discount season and free week are reached.

After reading all the hot posts on the forum, Chu Guang updated the "Developer Diary" as usual after some thoughts.

Although the players are very diligent, in order to allow players to better enjoy the fun of the game, and at the same time to appease the combat professional players who feel abandoned by the version, Chu Guang feels that he still needs to act as a planner , Talk to the players about this brand new version.

Guang: "Hello everyone, I am your dearest planner, A Guang. The planning department last month was quite peaceful. No one was sacrificed this time, but it’s not important. Important Yes, after adding a whole winter of classes, we finally got the Alpha1.0 version!"

"Thank you for your hard work and support until now, and also thank you all the programmers who worked overtime until now. We, and the NPCs who risked the mortal danger to screw the assembly line, without your hard work, we are impossible to have the current achievements."

"Developing games is not an easy task, especially Such an epoch-making game. We are now and will be in the primary stage of game development for a long time."

"It is not an easy task to build a utopian virtual community, which requires our common Efforts. This time may be very long, maybe three years, maybe five years, but we promise it will not be longer than the next door "Painted Citizen", "Old Gun 6" and Heaven's "Love for Him 6", and Make sure that you will never put the semifinished product on the shelves, cut a wave of leeks and turn around and run."

"I believe many players should have discovered that the content of the new expansion is basically focused on the two "operations". In a word."

"In this way, we hope to build an economic system close to reality. Every player and NPC can play a different role in this simulated reality system. Undertake the division of labor in different societies and become the builders of this virtual community."

"This may sound a bit idealistic, but we think it is worth a try."

……

The next day.

Before dawn, a large number of players rushed to Changjiu Farm enthusiastically, and surrounded the warehouse door in a dark circle.

Looking at the residents of the refuge in front of the warehouse, Luca, who had just woke up, thought something was wrong, and looked dumbfounded.

"Is there anything I can do for help?"

"I am here to do the task if you don't speak secretly!"

"Tian! Where is Tian?"

"My hoe is already hungry and thirsty!"

Although he didn't understand what the players were talking about, Luca quickly realized that, This may be arranged by the manager.

So he immediately turned on the VM and took a look.

Sure enough, it really is!

The residents of these shelters are here to help!

After reading the manager's instructions, old Luca was moved in his heart, and he couldn't help but looked towards the players around the warehouse door.

This dedication and hardworking spirit is hard not to be admired.

In a solemn and solemn tone, Old Luca spoke.

"We need to plant the seeds in the spring, and before planting the seeds, we must remove the weeds from the ground, level the ground, expel the alien species active in this area, and destroy their Lair."

"Thank you, we are currently short of manpower, it is time for you to come!"

"Please bring tools and come with me!"

Having said that, old Luca walked ahead, leading the players to the open space on the west side of the Longjiu Farm.

The terrain here is relatively flat and close to the warehouse. It is also an area that is relatively easy to cultivate.

In the manager’s plan, this piece of land is collectively owned by the refuge. It will then be cultivated by the hired farmers, and the harvested grain will enter the granary as a strategic reserve to balance the price of grain on the market.

Further west is the land planned to be contracted to private individuals, and further afield is the area where the prisoners of war are responsible for reclaiming.

After arriving at the destination, the player’s VM quickly refreshed the specific wasteland task, and the map also marked the area that each player or team was responsible for.

For every acre of land that can be cultivated, you can get 100 activity bonus points.

After the expansion is over, you only need to spend at least 300 activity points to redeem an acre of your own land, and you can plant anything you want on it, as long as you don’t change the land use. .

If you spend more points, you can also buy the fertile land on the edge of Linghu Lake.

Under the temptation of land, the players' enthusiasm for land reclamation can be said to be unprecedentedly high.

Especially as the proficiency of farming skills rises precipitously, many people work harder.

Use awakened to cultivate land.

Such an extravagant thing is unique in this area of ​​Qingquan City.

But even so, reclaiming wasteland is still not an easy task.The   first step is to clean up weeds.

Normal grass is okay, but if it encounters the roots of Old Mu trees, they have to be sawed and smashed, and the roots have to be planed out.

But weeding alone is not enough, we need to level the land.

Including digging out the soil at high places, using a load to pick up the low-lying areas and fill them up, then pile up the ridges, and get chemical fertilizer or manure piled in the fields.

When the spring really starts, I have to plow the ground again, break up large pieces of soil, pick out the concrete slag and undegraded garbage buried in the soil, and then move around Put in a fence to prevent some small animals from coming in and giving the seeds in the wheat field to Huo Huo.

Fortunately, the area of ​​Qingquan City is a plain. The average survivor goes up together with a family. It is not bad that two or three acres of land can be dug out in one fall.

But it was autumn.

If it happens to catch up with the cold winter, it will be tormented if it snows as soon as the grains in the ground are harvested.

Not to mention that the snow has not melted, the snow has melted, and the soil in the ground is frozen hard.

I shook my head down, leaving only a white mark, like a knock on the wall, except for the pain of the hand shaking, there was no reaction at all.

Therefore, if you want to open up wasteland in winter, it is not enough to use a hoe. You have to change the pickaxe for rocking stones.

It can be said to be quite real.

……

In the evening.

Sitting next to the ridge, Ye Shi, carrying an iron pick and a hoe, said gasping for breath.

"Mom der, I have to bother my roommate with meals, take out the trash and have to hurry along the road, I actually did a whole day of farming work!"

The initial strength of is usually 5, and it can reach 7 after awakening, which is equivalent to 140% of the average value of normal adult males, which is slightly stronger than the intelligence system.

However, he was still exhausted.

The fatigue debuff has appeared on the VM, and both hands and legs seem to be filled with lead.

If it is in reality, I am afraid it is not as simple as tiredness, the muscles are already beginning to hurt 80%!   But relatively, this day is not without gain.

He worked on a full acre of land by himself, and his farming skill proficiency directly rose to two levels, and he was still short of Level 1 before he could unlock the first achievement under the farming skill.

Putting the hoe on his shoulders, Old Bai, who was also exhausted enough, paused and said.

"I've done it before, but I haven't used such a primordial tool."

He is probably the most capable person in the squad, and he has done three acres of land by himself.

This is basically equivalent to five times the work efficiency of the refugees!

Ye Shi glanced at him curiously and asked.

"Speaking of Old Bai, what do you do in reality. Why do you know how to burn bricks and charcoal, and do farm work?"

Old Bai laughed.

"Let’s talk about it? My hometown is in the country. When I was a kid, I occasionally helped my family with work. It has nothing to do with now. There are not many people in my hometown anymore. I almost forget about it. Yes, but I miss it occasionally."

Ye Shi said twice, nodded.

He has grown up in the city since he was a child, but he doesn't know much about it.

The violent wind who walked to sit next to him wiped his sweat, glanced at the results of the labor in front of him, and squinted his eyes and said.

"I can't go on like this. I'm afraid it won't be finished until the year of the monkey...We must improve the tools."

Fang Chang nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, sharpening an axe does not delay the work of chopping firewood. If you continue to bite so hard, you may not get 10 acres by the end of the month."

Yeshi looked towards They asked.

"Do you two have a good way?"

Fang Chang and Kuangfeng glanced at each other, the latter said nodded.

"Wait another three days, I have a friend who just got the qualification for the closed beta, when the time comes, it should be able to help."

Ye Shi asked curiously.

"Who is it? Male or female? What kind of friend?"

Feng Feng was too lazy to care about this guy.

After paused, he continued.

"Professor Wang from the School of Engineering next door, majoring in mechanical engineering and automation."

"He knows more about application knowledge than me."

… …

Two days have passed since the new expansion was launched.

There are currently 800 players in the entire server, and at least 2/3/2021 participated in the wasteland reclamation work.

The remaining one third players, even if they are not interested in "100% real farming", do not want to learn farming skills proficiency, but still indirectly support wasteland reclamation work in other forms.

Such as No. 81 Steel Plant.

In just two days, 500 sets of steel structural parts for agricultural appliances were produced through the method of mould casting.

After a small workshop in the industrial zone rushed to produce, put wooden handles on hoes, pickaxes and other tools. The first batch of tools were quickly sent to the front line, and those inefficient and poor-quality wooden tools and The stone tools were replaced.

Another example is that WC really has mosquitoes.

Brother Mosquito has done something again this time.

He changed the Hell Breath a little bit, increased the output power of the pan and camel machine, and got out a simple tractor.

Not only can it deliver goods, he also installed a rake for arable land on the back of the tractor.

This thing can help a lot.

But the mosquito is not very kind. Seeing that no one bought the 2000 Silver Coin, he immediately started the leasing business.

Rent 10 Silver Coin for 1 hour, including 50 Silver Coin a day.

When the players saw this, they shouted cheating, but in order to improve efficiency, brace oneself paid for it.

The No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant next to it saw that the money was too good to make, and immediately started an imitation, and also made a prototype, and said that it only costs 40 Silver Coin a day to rent.

Chu Guang ordered 10 sets from two companies, each priced at 2000 Silver Coin, and required delivery before the end of the month.

After completing the order, you can also get 5000 regional reputation of the long-term farm and 500 contribution points.

Faced with an order worth 20,000 Silver Coins, Mosquito and the two factory directors of Factory 81 immediately told Chu Guang that they would work overtime to produce and deliver the equipment in the order as soon as possible.

In addition to the missions for professional players in life, there are also missions for professional combat players.

For example, hunting mutant wild boars, destroying hyena dens, building fences and so on.

The expansion is online in the evening of the second day.

The entrance to the warehouse of Changjiu Farm.

Facing Chu Guang who came to inspect the work, Luca excitedly reported to him the progress of the wasteland reclamation work.

"My lord, in the past 48 hours, your residents have cultivated 1,000 acres of wasteland!"

"At this rate, it won't even take until the end of the month, 15 days at most!"

We will be able to complete the target of 10,000 acres of wasteland!" When he said this, Luca's face was incredibly joyful.

Originally, he thought that those shelter residents could not adapt to such high-intensity labor. As a result, they didn’t expect them to be far more capable than he thought. In just two days One-tenth the expected goal.

According to the manager's plan, the first batch of arable land under planning is 30,000 mu.

Among them, 10,000 acres are completed by the residents of the refuge, and the remaining 20,000 acres are paid by prisoners of war and half by the refugees.

Maybe this year’s land reclamation work may even be over-completed!    Although the seeds have not been planted yet, he seems to have seen the tens of thousands of acres of golden and full of granaries!

Chu Guang didn't feel any surprises about the situation reported by Luca.

The main reason is that he hasn't worked in the ground, not quite clear.

"1000 mu...calculated based on 600 people, that is, 0.8 mu per person per day?"

Touching his chin, Chu Guang thought for a moment.

"Is this fast or slow?"

"My lord, this speed is already very fast!"

Listening to the manager Versailles's speech, Old Luca couldn't help sweating and explained.

"Reclaiming wasteland is different from farming. The workload is very large, especially now that the snow has not been completely melted. You have to turn the snow out of the ground first."

"Wait until the middle of the month. Even at the end of the month, our progress will be faster!"

Chu Guang nodded, said with satisfaction.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Hearing the manager's award, a proud red light floated on old Luca's face and said respectfully.

"I have nothing to do, but your residents, they are so capable."

"By the way, Blizzard has stopped now, those placed in abandoned department stores The refugees in the building can also gradually move back to the farm. We have been impossible to raise them for nothing."

Chu Guang nodded said.

"Well, after finishing the whole winter, we should find something to do for them."

After inspecting the work of spring ploughing, Chu Guang went around in the warehouse. , Was about to go to the guard to see the training of the recruits.

But at this moment, he suddenly received a communication request from the outpost.

The communication is connected.

Before Chu Guang could ask what was going on, Liu Ding's voice came from the earphone.

"My lord, there is a caravan from the south of the Wetland Park. They are now parked at the south gate of the Wetland Park!"

"A caravan from the south?" Chu Guang said. A touch of surprise appeared on his face, and he immediately continued to ask, "Are they from Boulder City?"

"Yes..." Orange said cautiously, "The owner of this caravan is called Liszt, he claims to have had a fate with you and wants to meet you."

Liszt?   Hearing this familiar name, Chu Guang was taken aback for a moment, then an expression of interest appeared on his face.

Good fellow.

It can be regarded as waiting for you!   Chu Guang has not forgotten the vow he made in the beginning.

Wait for this guy to come here next time.

Must fiercely kill him once! With   a happy smile on his face, Chu Guang continued amicably.

"Liszt, that's my old friend."

"Quickly invite him to the reception room and prepare tea or something."

"Tell him, I'll be there in a while!"
