This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 13: “Blue Angel”

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!

Chu Guang tightened the seal of the plastic bag and continued.

"You should be lucky that you didn't go further inside. This kind of mushroom usually grows near the nests of mutated leeches."

Ye Shi was stunned for a moment.

"Mutated leech?"

Chu Guang said casually.

"Well, juvenile mutant leeches are only as big as a palm. Except for their special mouthparts, they look no different from normal leeches."

"However, once it enters adulthood, its size will rapidly increase to more than 1 meter, and even up to 3 meters, and its eating method will also change. It is said that it can even swallow a living person in one bite... Of course, I just heard about it."

After listening to the manager's narration, Ye Shi felt a chill all over his body.

He said that he felt something was wrong when he was picking mushrooms, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Looking at it this way, it turned out that he had slipped past the gate of hell.

"Can't you eat it?" The expression on Kuangfeng's face was quite regretful. He looked at the mushrooms that Chu Guang had put away and muttered, "I thought I could add BUFF."

"Don't think too much."

How can there be so many BUFFs?

There is something Chu Guang did not say.

Although this stuff is not edible, it is the main raw material for making radiation abatement agents.

Chu Guang didn’t know the specific principle. He also heard about it from old Charlie on Beit Street.

The blue mushroom contains a special peptide substance that can effectively alleviate and heal non-lethal damage caused by gamma rays.

The caravans in Boulder City will buy this thing, and the price is not low. They usually transport it to Boulder City and sell it to the factory there.

It’s just that this thing is really difficult to get rid of, and few scavengers are willing to risk their lives to search for mutant leech nests in swamps, subways, and sewers.

It’s one thing to be hard to find.

It's another thing to find it and bring it back alive.

Even if life is forced, no one wants to deal with these tentacles that eat people without spitting out bones...

Unexpectedly, there is a nest of mutated leeches close at hand.

Chu Guang was in a mixed mood.

I am happy that the blue mushroom can be sold for a lot of money, but I am worried that the mutated leeches are not easy to deal with.

Sprinkle salt?

Where can I get hundreds of kilograms of salt? It’s better to just sell the salt when there is so much salt.

Set fire?

This thing usually lives in humid areas and is really not that easy to light.

"Do you remember the specific location of the sewer entrance?"

Faced with the manager's inquiry, Kuangfeng quickly took out a map and pointed to the marked location on it.

"This is it."

Chu Guang glanced at the location on the map and silently wrote it down.

"I know."

……

The blue mushrooms brought back by Guangfeng and Yeshi are estimated to be 2 kilograms. Generally, in the market, every 50g can be exchanged for one chip.

2000g is 40 chips!

This is almost equivalent to all the savings Chu Guang has saved in the past five months.

And this is the price offered by the recycling bin on Beit Street.

The actual value of this thing is at least twice this number!

Chu Guang planned to sell all these mushrooms and use the exchanged chips to buy the urgently needed supplies for the outpost.

"The supplies at the outpost need to be replenished. I will go out for a while. You stay here and remember not to go too far."

"At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaoqi will open the elevator for you on time and return to the shelter."

"When I'm not around, Xiaoqi will keep statistics on your work results, and you can ask her if you don't understand anything."

As for the 2 kilograms of blue mushrooms, Chu Guang gave Kuang Feng and Ye Shi a total of 220 contribution points.

200 of the contribution points are due to the discovery of the mutated leech's nest, and the other 20 contribution points are from the blue mushroom.

It’s not that he is being stingy by only giving this little, but he is afraid that giving too much will let these players taste the sweetness, risk running to pick this thing, and accidentally die in it.

Until he found a generator that could power the "active substance extractor", he thought it would be better to be cautious.

Green wheat porridge for lunch.

Said to be porridge, Chu Guang thought it was a bit like mung bean soup without sweetness.

This thing has no taste at all, it is purely for filling your stomach.

But what surprised Chu Guang was that the four players devoured the food as if they were reincarnated by starving ghosts.

Is it so delicious?

Chu Guang had doubts about his cooking skills.

Am I actually good at cooking?

It shouldn’t be...

Hastily finished a meal.

Putting away the pots and pans, Chu Guang put out the fire and set out on the road alone. There were only four players left in the sanatorium and an AI robot hanging upstairs.

Fang Chang stared at the task board inserted at the door of the nursing home, lost in thought.

Ye Shi asked from the side.

"What are you looking at."

Fang Chang said.

"According to the administrator, blue mushrooms can be used as raw materials for making anti-radiation agents, but the reward for you in the mission is only 20 contribution points, which is equivalent to cutting down two trees... Do you think this is reasonable?"

Ye Shi was stunned for a moment.

"Any questions?"

Fang Chang said.

"Of course there is. Normally, the benefits that players get from tasks should be directly related to the difficulty of the task. Not only have you unlocked new copies, but you have also collected high-value materials. Normally speaking, this is not the only amount. Reward."

Bangfeng thought.

"Then why do you think it is?"

Fang Chang snapped his fingers.

"Priority!"

"Excellent, priority?" Ye Shi said blankly.

"That's right." Fang Chang nodded, "Do you still remember what the manager said in the previous plot? The first priority right now is survival!"

Is there any?

It seems there is.

Ye Shi didn’t listen too carefully. In most games, he didn’t read the plot and just pressed Ctrl to play. Although Ctrl is not supported in this game, it doesn't make any difference if you lose focus for a few minutes.

Fang Chang continued.

"...So I guess that the tasks on the task board are not all tasks. This game gives us a lot of autonomy. Tasks can not only be released by NPCs, but can also be actively triggered."

Bang Feng frowned.

"Reason?"

"Didn't you already receive the reward?" Fang Chang said, "Although the generator was not found, the alien nest was discovered and valuable materials were collected."

"So I judge that as long as our behavior meets the current needs of Shelter 404, we can obtain contribution points. And the value of the reward is directly related to the value created by our behavior!"

“For example, building cesspools and toilets is a task issued by the manager after accepting our opinions. Lao Bai and I both received a reward of 200 contribution points.”

Lao Bai nodded.

"It seems like this."

"I probably understand what you mean," Kuangfeng said, stroking his chin, "But don't you get contribution points by completing the tasks on the task board?"

And the points are not low.

"This is the second point I want to make," Fang Chang showed a mysterious smile on his face, "Do you still remember the favorability setting that the planner told us?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Guangfeng's face.

"I see...I understand what you mean."

Ye Shi and Lao Bai are still confused.

"What on earth do you understand."

"Speak clearly!"

Fang Chang said slowly.

"To put it simply, completing the fixed tasks on the task board step by step can obtain fixed guaranteed rewards, but it cannot demonstrate our abilities. In contrast, actively triggering tasks can better reflect our own abilities! In theory, Talking about it should improve managers’ evaluation of us.”

Of course, these speculations are based on the fact that Wasteland OL is a "completely real" immersive virtual reality game, and the behavior of managers is governed by program logic and is not artificially set.

If his intelligence is not as high as imagined, this inference may not be valid.

However, at present, the manager's intelligence is still quite high, and there is no problem with normal communication. He can't even help but wonder whether this guy is played by a real person.

After understanding Fang Chang’s explanation, Lao Bai touched the stubble on his chin, nodded and said.

"This idea is interesting and worth trying... So what do you think we should do?"

“I’m still figuring out how to do it specifically, but my intuition tells me that compared to contribution points, it’s more important to accumulate more NPC favorability before the second round of closed beta. This can ensure that we win in the second round. The second round of closed beta has a higher 'starting point' than other players."

After a pause, Fang Chang snapped his fingers.

"I propose to form a team!"

"The meaning of forming a team is..." Ye Shi said doubtfully.

Lao Bai nodded.

"I have no objection."

Bangfeng also nodded.

"I agree too."

Ye Shi said dumbly.

"I have no objection, but can you explain to me the details of team formation?"

Fang Chang explained patiently.

"To put it simply, from now on we are a team, sharing intelligence and helping each other. Then, all we have to do is to use our respective strengths."

Fang Chang looked at Kuang Feng and Ye Shi and continued.

"Blast, Ye Shi, you will scout along the lakeshore of the Wetland Park, pay attention to the distribution and activity tracks of alien species, and mark the area if you find a suspected nest... But remember, don't get too close, especially To avoid fighting. We need a safe water point."

Bangfeng nodded.

"Okay."

Then, Fang Chang looked at Lao Bai.

"As for us, what we have to do now is chop more wood."

"I'll go offline after a while. I'll check some information online and find a way to use the wood I've stocked up tomorrow!"
