www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
[New expansion pack: "Forging swords into plowshares"]
[Introduction: Winter has come to an end, and the time for all things to revive is coming. Now is a critical period for spring plowing production and preparations. Only by ensuring the food supply for the coming year can we awaken more compatriots to go to the surface and carry out the next stage of work. 】
[Content: From now on, "Wasteland OL" will start a series of missions including farming, management and other related elements. Players can receive them through VM or from NPCs such as Luca, Guo Niu and Guo Ma. Complete tasks with expansion tags to earn event points.
After the expansion pack ends, the points can be used for lottery draws, redemption of expansion pack-limited titles, special rewards, and agricultural land! 】
Happiness comes too suddenly.
Without the slightest sign, not even a promotional PV, the Alpha 1.0 version and the new expansion pack suddenly appeared on the bulletin board of the official website of "Wasteland OL".
Almost at the same time as the announcement was released, the young players who were squatting on the official website to share today’s game history, as well as the daily sand sculpture netizens, instantly became excited!
In less than a minute, hundreds of comments appeared below the announcement.
Tail: "!!!"
Quit smoking: "New expansion pack?! Awesome!"
Makabazi: "Forging swords into plowshares?! Can event points be exchanged for land?! Damn it, my DNA has been moved!!"
The sword will save people: "Life professional players are ecstatic!"
Teng Teng: “Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu: Finally, I have waited for the expansion pack for life professional players. I can’t help at all with battles. QAQ"
Crow Crow: "It doesn't matter! Leave the battle to Crow Crow, and Teng Teng will be responsible for making good-looking clothes! (@≥︶≤@)"
Ye Shi: "If you don't understand, just ask, has Boss Crow been on the front line? (Funny)"
Crow Crow: "???Are you polite?"
Indebted Eyes: "Wait a minute, the first two expansion packs 'Winter is Coming' and 'Land Boating', which one of the expansion packs has the answer that is not a professional life player!?"
I'm the worst: "That's it! Don't even think about tampering with your memory! Professional combat players also need expansion packs! (Crazy)"
Battlefield Atmosphere Team: "Please plan, let's get another wave of predators! I just saved up money to buy an exoskeleton, and spent money to make it bulletproof, but it actually told me that those predators ran away! T.T"
Commander Quanshui: "If I had known earlier, I would have taken the money to buy a tractor, right? Fortunately, I saved money. (Squinting smile)"
Ye Shi: "I suggest that the next expansion pack be The Burning Crusade. I think we can completely defeat Xizhou City and help Miss Teng Teng open the market in the north. (Funny)"
Irena: "Open the door, free trade? But I feel like the predators there probably can't afford clothes. (Funny)"
Professor Yang, the King of Thunder and Lightning: "Tsk, you are still too young. If you are poor, you will have no surplus value? Can't afford it? It's easy to say, build a few plantations in the past and send them to grow cotton. There will be class Now, you should be able to afford it, right? (Baring teeth)"
Ye Shi: "Damn it, my understanding of the version is actually not as good as that of cloud players?!"
Lao Bai: "Come to work in our brick factory, we will hire you as the factory director. (Squints and smiles)"
Professor Yang, the King of Thunder and Lightning: "Hey, I will shed tears if I talk too much. T.T"
Chu Guang took a brief look at the comment area below the announcement and found that the enthusiasm among players for discussing the new version and expansion pack was sky-high.
Many players have begun to share their experience in growing vegetables on the forum, and hard-core players have even posted design drawings of agricultural machinery on the forum.
Although most of these posts ended up being distorted and turned into Versailles about how many acres of land my family owned, there are still many experiences worth learning from.
I believe it will come in handy during the upcoming spring plowing.
If you are not a character in the game, you still have to sleep. In reality, you still have to go to work. Many players have probably put on helmets and gone to work online.
The newbies who had qualified for the closed beta test were overjoyed and gave their acceptance speeches one after another.
As for the cloud players who have not qualified for the closed beta test...
Although Chu Guang was also worried for them, there was nothing he could do about this matter.
He is planning it for real.
But Naihe games are not real games. Even a wish machine like the "Black Box" requires electricity and materials to produce sleep pods, and the maximum output per day is 24 units.
It is impossible to conjure something that does not exist out of thin air.
Currently, there are nearly 100,000 players who have made reservations, but there are only 300 training cabins left. Even if Chu Guang opens all these cans, the probability of players winning is only 0.3%.
It's impossible to get everyone into the game.
Moreover, when the number of immigrants exceeds the limit of social capacity, it is not necessarily a good thing.
Like the refugees in the wasteland, if they cannot be digested in a short time, they will become disruptors of existing rules and become obstacles to development.
This is also one of the reasons why most online games on Steam are unplayable during the discount season and free week.
After reading all the popular posts on the forum, Chu Guang thought for a while and updated the "Developer Diary" as usual.
Although the players are very diligent, in order to allow the players to enjoy the game better and to appease the professional combat players who feel abandoned by the version, Chu Guang feels that he still needs to work with the players as a planner. Let’s talk about this brand new version.
Guang: "Hello everyone, I am your dearest planner Aguang. The planning department was quite peaceful last month. No one was sacrificed this time, but that is not important. The important thing is that, added After working all winter, we finally got the Alpha1.0 version!"
“Thank you to all the beta testers for your continued efforts and support, as well as to the programmers who worked overtime until they were bald, and to the NPCs who risked their lives to drive screws on the assembly line. Without your tireless efforts, I wouldn’t be able to do this without your hard work. We couldn't have achieved what we have now."
"Developing a game is not an easy task, especially such an epoch-making game. We are now in and will be in the early stages of game development for a long time."
"Building a utopian virtual community is not an easy task, and it requires our joint efforts. This may take a long time, maybe three years, maybe five years, but we guarantee that it will not be worse than the "Painting" next door. "Pake Citizen", "Lao Gun 6" and "Give Him Love 6" from Heaven will last longer, and we promise that we will never put semi-finished products on the shelves, cut a wave of leeks and turn around and run away."
"I believe many players should have discovered that the content of the new expansion pack basically focuses on the word 'management'."
"We hope to build an economic system close to reality through this method. Let every player and NPC play different roles in this simulated reality system, assume different social divisions of labor, and become this virtual community builder."
"This may sound idealistic, but we think it's worth a try."
……
The next day.
Before dawn, a large number of players rushed to the Changjiu Farm happily and formed a dark circle at the door of the warehouse.
Looking at the shelter residents gathered in front of the warehouse, Luca, who had just woken up, thought something had happened and was dumbfounded.
"Can I help you with anything?"
"People don't tell secrets, I'm here to do a mission!"
"Tian! Where is Tian?"
"My **** is so horny!"
Although he had no idea what the players were saying, Luka soon realized that this might be the arrangement of the administrator.
So he immediately opened the VM and took a look.
Sure enough, it’s true!
The residents of these shelters are here to help!
After reading the instructions from the manager, Old Luca was moved and couldn't help but look at the players surrounding the warehouse door with emotion.
It is hard not to admire this spirit of dedication and hard work.
In a solemn and serious tone, Old Luca spoke.
"We need to plant the seeds in the spring, and before planting the seeds, we must clear the weeds in the ground, level the land, expel the alien species active in this area, and destroy their nests."
"Thank you, we are short of manpower now, you came at the right time!"
"Please bring your tools and come with me!"
After that, Old Luca walked in front and led the players to the open space on the west side of Jiujiu 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 plan of the administrator, this land is collectively owned by the shelter, and will be cultivated by hired farmers. The harvested food will be put into the granary as a strategic reserve to balance the food price on the market.
Further west is land planned to be contracted to private individuals, and further away is the area that prisoners of war are responsible for reclaiming.
After arriving at the destination, the specific wasteland reclamation tasks were quickly refreshed on the player's VM, and the area that each player or team was responsible for was also marked on the map.
For every acre of land that can be cultivated, you can get 100 activity reward points.
After the expansion pack ends, you only need to spend at least 300 event points to exchange for an acre of your own land, where you can grow whatever you want as long as the land use is not changed.
If you spend more points, you can also buy fertile land on the edge of Linghu Lake.
Under the temptation of land, players' enthusiasm for land reclamation can be said to be unprecedentedly high.
Especially seeing the rising proficiency in farming skills, many people are working harder.
Plow the land with the Awakened.
Such a luxury is unique in this area of Qingquan City.
But even so, opening up wasteland is still not an easy task
The first step is to clear the weeds.
Ordinary grass is fine, but if it encounters the roots of shrubs and old trees, it will have to be sawed, smashed, and the roots dug out.
And just weeding is not enough, the land must also be leveled.
It involves digging out the soil from high areas, carrying it to low-lying areas with a load, filling it up, and then piling up field ridges to get fertilizer or manure and pile it in the fields.
When spring really comes, we will have to plow the ground deeply again, break up the large pieces of soil, pick out the concrete residue and undegraded garbage buried in the soil, and then put up fences around it. Prevent some small animals from running in and giving the seeds in the wheat field to Huo Huo.
Fortunately, this area of Qingquan City is a plain. Generally, a family of survivors can dig out two or three acres of land in one autumn, which is considered good.
But this is autumn.
If it happens to be a cold winter and it snows just after harvesting the food in the fields, it will be torture.
Don’t say that the snow has not melted yet, the snow has melted, and the soil in the ground is frozen hard.
When the **** went down, only a white mark was left, as if it had hit the wall. There was no reaction at all except the shaking of the hand.
So, if you want to open up wasteland in winter, it is not enough to just use a hoe. You must also use a pickaxe that is used to knock stones.
It can be said to be quite true.
……
In the evening.
Sitting next to the field ridge, Ye Shi, carrying a pick and a hoe, said breathlessly.
“Damn it, I’m a guy who has to bother my roommates even with food, and has to rush to take out the garbage, but I’ve been doing farm work all day long!”
The initial strength of the perception system is usually 5, and after awakening it can reach 7, which is equivalent to 140% of the average of a normal adult male, and is slightly stronger than the intelligence system.
However, he was still exhausted.
The fatigue debuff has appeared on the VM, and my hands and legs feel like lead.
If it were in reality, I'm afraid it's not as simple as being tired. Most of the time, my muscles have started to hurt!
However, this day was not without gains.
He worked an entire acre of land by himself, and his farming skill proficiency rose to level two. He was still one level away from unlocking the first achievement under the farming skill.
Putting the **** on his shoulder, Lao Bai, who was also very tired, took a breath and said.
"I've done it before, but I've never used such primitive tools."
He is probably the most capable of the cattle and horse team. He worked three acres of land by himself.
This is basically equivalent to five times the work efficiency of refugees!
Ye Shi glanced at him curiously and asked.
"Speaking of which, Lao Bai, what do you do in real life? How can you burn bricks and charcoal, and do farm work?"
Lao Bai smiled and said.
"Didn't I mention it? My hometown is in the countryside. When I was a child, I occasionally helped the family with work. It has nothing to do with it now. There are not many people in my hometown farming. I have almost forgotten everything, but occasionally It’s quite nostalgic to experience it.”
Ye Shi made two oohs and a half, then nodded in understanding.
He grew up in the city, so he didn’t know much about this.
Bangfeng, who walked up to him and sat down next to him, wiped his sweat, glanced at the fruits of his labor in front of him, narrowed his eyes and said.
“It’s not going to work like this. I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish it until the end of the year... We must improve the tools.”
Fang Chang nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, sharpening the knife does not stop the woodcutter. If you continue to gnaw so hard, you may not be able to get 10 acres by the end of the month."
Ye Shi looked at them and asked.
"Do you two have any good ideas?"
Fang Chang and Kuangfeng looked at each other, and the latter nodded and said.
"Just wait for another three days. I have a friend who has just obtained the qualification for closed beta testing. He should be able to help by then."
Ye Shi curiously asked.
"Who is it? Male or female? What kind of friend?"
Bangfeng didn't bother to care about this guy.
After a pause, he continued.
"Professor Wang from the College of Engineering next door, majoring in mechanical engineering and automation."
"He knows more about application knowledge than I do."
……
Two days have passed since the new expansion pack was released.
There are currently 800 players in the server, at least two-thirds of whom are involved in land reclamation work.
The remaining one-third of players, even if they have little interest in "100% real farming" and don't really want to improve their farming skill proficiency, still indirectly support the land reclamation work in other forms.
For example, Steel Plant No. 81.
In just two days, 500 sets of steel structure components for agricultural equipment were produced through mold casting.
After the small workshops in the industrial area rushed to produce and install wooden handles on hoes, picks and other tools, the first batch of tools was quickly sent to the front line, replacing those inefficient and poor-quality wooden and stone tools. Replaced.
For another example, there are really mosquitoes in WC.
Brother Mosquito has made a meritorious deed again this time.
He slightly modified Hell Breath, increased the output power of the pot camel machine, and built a simple tractor.
Not only can it transport goods, he also has a rake for plowing on the back of the tractor.
This thing helps a lot.
However, Mosquito was not very kind. Seeing that no one bought one at the price of 2,000 silver coins, he immediately started a leasing business.
Rent for 10 silver coins per hour, including 50 silver coins for a day.
The players saw this and called it a scam, but in order to improve efficiency, they still bit the bullet and paid.
The No. 81 Steel Factory nearby saw that the money was so profitable, so they immediately started imitating it and built a prototype. They said that they could rent it for only 40 silver coins a day.
Chu Guang ordered 10 units from two units respectively. Each unit was priced at 2,000 silver coins and required delivery before the end of the month.
After completing the order, you can also get 5,000 points of regional reputation of Changjiu Farm and 500 contribution points.
Faced with an order worth 20,000 silver coins, Mosquito and the two directors of Factory No. 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 tasks for life professional players, there are also some tasks for combat professional players.
For example, hunt mutant wild boars, destroy hyena nests, build fences, etc.
The evening of the second day after the expansion was released.
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 land reclamation work.
"Sir, in the past 48 hours, your residents have reclaimed 1,000 acres of wasteland!"
"If we continue at this rate, it won't even take until the end of the month. We can complete the target of 10,000 acres of wasteland in 15 days at most!"
When he said this, Luka had incredible joy on his face.
Originally, he thought that the shelter residents could not adapt to such high-intensity labor. However, he did not expect that they were much more capable than he thought. In just two days, they completed ten of the expected goals. one part.
According to the manager's plan, the first batch of cultivated land in the plan is 30,000 acres.
Ten thousand acres of it were completed by the residents of the shelter, and half of the remaining 20,000 acres were taken care of by prisoners of war and half by refugees.
Maybe this year’s land reclamation work will even be overfulfilled!
Although the seeds haven't been planted yet, he seems to have already seen those acres of golden and packed granaries!
Chu Guang did not feel any surprise about the situation reported by Luka.
The main reason is that he has never worked in the fields and is not sure whether it is difficult to open up wasteland.
"1,000 acres...calculated based on 600 people, that is, an average of 0.8 acres per person per day?"
Chu Guang touched his chin, thought for a moment and said.
"Is this considered fast or slow?"
"Sir, this speed is already very fast!"
Listening to the speech of the administrator Versailles, Old Luca couldn't help but sweat and explained.
"Reclaiming wasteland is different from farming. It is a lot of work, especially now that the snow has not completely melted, so the snow must be dug out of the ground first."
"By the middle of the month or even the end of the month, our progress will be faster!"
Chu Guang nodded and said happily.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Hearing the manager's commendation, Old Luca's face glowed with pride and he said respectfully.
"I have nothing to do hard, but your residents are really capable."
"By the way, now that the blizzard has stopped, the refugees who were housed in the abandoned department store can gradually move back to the farm. We can't keep raising them in vain."
Chu Guang nodded and said.
"Well, after repairing it all winter, it's time to find something for them to do."
After inspecting the spring plowing work, Chu Guang walked around the warehouse and was about to go to the guard to see the training of the new recruits.
However, at this moment, he suddenly received a communication request from the outpost.
Communication is connected.
Before Chu Guang could ask what was going on, Liu Ding's voice immediately came from the other end of the earphone.
"Sir, a caravan has come from the south of the Wetland Park. They are now stopping at the south entrance of the Wetland Park!"
"A caravan from the south?" A look of surprise appeared on Chu Guang's face, and he immediately continued to ask, "Are they coming from Boulder City?"
"Yes..." Liu Ding said cautiously, "The owner of this caravan is named Liszt. He claims to have met you once and wants to meet you."
Liszt?
Hearing this familiar name, Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, and then an expression of interest appeared on his face.
Good guy.
I have been waiting for you!
Chu Guang has still not forgotten the oath he made.
Wait until this guy comes here next time.
You must kill him hard!
With a happy smile on his face, Chu Guang continued speaking pleasantly.
"Liszt, that's my old friend."
"Quickly invite him to the reception room to entertain him and prepare tea and other things."
"Tell him I'll be there in a minute!"
