Since these players are so self-conscious, Chu Guang thinks it is better not to control them too much and let them play freely.
After piling the supplies next to the elevator, Chu Guang returned to the shelter and called out the manager system. Soon, a pop-up window of task completion appeared in front of him.
[Congratulations to the host, completing the daily task: stockpiling wood, reward: reward point +2]
[Congratulations to the host, completing the daily task: burning cement, reward: reward point +5]
The daily tasks completed add up to 7 reward points, which is not enough for an intermediate blind box.
But Chu Guang doesn't care.
His players have already dealt with cement, and now the food reserves have exceeded ten kilograms. Soon he will be able to recruit a few more players to come in as free labor.
"System, all reward points, all redeem primary blind boxes!"
The reward points in the manager's allowance were instantly cleared.
The alloy door on the wall opened, and the conveyor belt began to roll, sending out the rewards from the blind box.
Five lollipops, a 200g net chocolate, and a 500g net salt bag. Just like the previous ones, none of them had expiration dates or trademarks.
How much does this damn first-generation manager like candy?
Looking at the five lollipops and chocolate, Chu Guang didn't know how to complain for a moment.
But this white salt is a good thing.
Chu Guang reached out and picked it up, with a look of surprise.
The salt that can be bought on Bet Street is all coarse salt shipped from Boulder City. It is waxy yellow in appearance, expensive, and of poor quality. The bitterness can even cover the saltiness.
This kind of white refined salt is usually expensive, and ordinary survivors can't afford it.
"It would be great if I could get more!"
This amount is okay for cooking, but it would be a bit of a waste to make bacon or sausages.
Of course, trading it might be a good choice. This white refined salt can be exchanged for at least 10 times, 20 or 30 times the weight of coarse salt.
However, there are other risks here.
The River Valley Province is an inland province.
Salt is a thing that is second only to arms in terms of profit. Without sufficient strength, it is a bit irrational to want to do this business.
After confirming the reward, Chu Guang then opened the player list and confirmed the players' offline time yesterday and online time today.
What surprised him was that Lao Bai actually upgraded?
"Can you upgrade by cutting trees?"
Chu Guang was shocked.
Before, the development progress of the gene sequences of these players was 0, but the development progress of Lao Bai's gene sequence has been increased to 1%.
The corresponding level is LV1.
However, Chu Guang thought about it and was relieved.
The physical work of cutting trees is also equivalent to a kind of exercise. In addition, Lao Bai's gene sequence is a strength system, so there is nothing strange about the development progress.
To gain experience, you don't necessarily have to fight.
Although the latter is a relatively shortcut...
Turn off the system interface.
Sitting in front of the computer in the resident hall, Chu Guang logged into the backend of the Wasteland OL official website.
Previously, a reservation threshold was set, and it was necessary to fill in the delivery address and phone number and register an account to make a reservation. Chu Guang had originally prepared for the slowdown or even stagnation of the number of reservations, but he didn't expect that when he opened it today, the number of reservations had increased from 35 to 45.
Wow.
Are there so many living people in the Niu Ma Club?
Surprised, Chu Guang then logged into the Penguin account and opened the game group called Niu Ma Club. After flipping through the chat records for a while, he saw some clues.
It turned out that just yesterday, a large number of new people poured into the group, and the number of group members had soared from more than 100 to more than 200.
Most of these newcomers were invited by group friends to come in and watch, and many of them were group hangers-on, active in major game groups all year round.
Now in the PC game circle, an urban legend about "fully immersive virtual reality online games" has begun to spread.
Although most people sneered after hearing it, there are always one or two who believe it and took great pains to find the "Niu Ma Club" to join.
Everyone is not sure whether the dog managers have joined forces to do something, but in any case, this official website is well made.
——Historical chat records——
Quit smoking: [Why are there so many new people in the group suddenly? (Meng.jpg)]
Pick up garbage 99 level: [Big guys! How can I make an appointment for that game? Does it cost money? ]
Quit smoking: [What the hell? Are you all here for Wasteland OL? (Surprised.jpg)]
Public enemy of girls Ye Shici: [The group name can be changed to Wasteland OL player group. (Funny)]
What can I do with my boss: [No need to spend money during the closed beta stage, I don't know about the future, just register an account and fill in a form to queue up. As for when you can get the chance, it depends on your luck... Oh, I give up, there are people who really believe it. ]
Quit smoking: [Brother Ye Shi! You guys were online last night??? Did you test any new content??? (Excited)]
Public enemy of girls Ye Shici: [We tested it, tested it all night, and we got cement out, haha. You ask Fang Chang, I have to go to class, I'll chat later. ]
Quit smoking: [Cement??? ]
Garbage picker level 99: [Isn't it garbage picking??? ]
The group talked about it for a long time.
Chu Guang skipped the long string of nonsense and turned to Fang Chang's speech.
The future is long: [To be honest, the authenticity of this game exceeded my expectations! Unlike most sandbox construction games, in Wasteland OL, logs will not turn into wood by themselves, and synthetic charcoal is not simply thrown into the furnace to be synthesized with one click, but you need to build a charcoal kiln first, and the burning method is basically the same as in reality. The same is true for making cement. There is no one-click synthesis workbench, but you need to start by burning wood ash. ]
Quit smoking: [Fuck? So real? ! ]
There is a long way to go: [Yes, it is so real! The combat system has not been tested yet, but as for the sandbox gameplay, Lao Bai and I have not yet discovered the upper limit of this game! ]
There is a long way to go: [In theory, all the materials we are currently exposed to can be transformed according to the physical and chemical rules in reality, and these modifications to the map environment are still permanently retained! They will not be refreshed! This is also the most surprising thing to me! ]
This reminded him of the "pseudo-sandbox game" Death Stranding, which is a road-building game all over the world.
But this game is not just about building roads. It has more interactive content than the pixel-style "Minecraft", but the graphics are not ambiguous at all, and it is even more realistic than the photography-level racing game "Horizon 4".
Especially the immersive experience.
He has never seen it before.
In a nutshell, he praised this game!
What can I do with my pride: [Hehe, I laughed. If you are really that awesome, I can build a Jinling city on the wasteland. ]
Spare someone under the knife: [I don't believe it either! It's too outrageous. ]
Time flies: [Don't brag, you will know when you enter the game. This game is the most liver-intensive I have ever seen. All materials are hand-made, and it does not support AFK. Playing other games, you can turn on the computer and AFK to kill monsters all night, but playing this game, you can be so tired that you can't even lift your hands after chopping a few pieces of wood! ]
Level 8 Gale: [Indeed, I have a deep understanding of this. ]
Quit smoking: [Crap, I want to play it after hearing what you guys said!!! Brother Guang, I know you are peeking at the screen, I kneel down to you, please give me a chance!!!]
Chu Guang continued to scroll down the chat history.
The dog managers and group owners who got the closed beta qualification basically praised Wasteland OL, saying things like "sandbox gameplay yyds" and "annual hegemony reservation".
There were also some greedy players who would occasionally interject, "One hundred thousand for the closed beta qualification", "One hundred thousand is too little, I'll pay one hundred million (funny)" and so on.
Then, the group members talked about wilderness survival.
Perhaps they were interested in the gameplay described in [There's a long way to go], and many players who didn't believe that "fully immersive virtual reality online games really exist" also participated in the discussion and even made suggestions.
Among them, the one that Chu Guang was most interested in was a brother in the group with the ID [WC真有蚊子].
Judging from the time he joined the group, this brother had just joined the group not long ago and was a newcomer.
While others were talking about games, he was seriously talking about the eighteen uses of wood.
Burning charcoal, making furniture, those are the most basic.
In addition, he also mentioned the "dry distillation" of wood.
The specific principle is that in the process of baking wood to make carbon in a closed container, a large amount of combustible gas and smoke rich in various organic chemical components will be released.
These complex mixtures are collectively called "charred wood", which are chemical precursors of many chemical products-until coal tar and petroleum were widely used.
According to the description of this brother in the group, by filtering the collected condensate, an aqueous solution composed of acetic acid, acetone, and methanol, as well as a thick tar-like residue, can be obtained.
Both are complex mixtures, but different organic chemical components can be extracted by fractionation.
Not to mention acetic acid and methanol, acetone is a good thing. It can not only be used as an organic solvent, but also used to make smokeless gunpowder!
When Chu Guang saw this, he was shocked.
"Is this guy a chemical engineer?"
He subconsciously clicked on the man's avatar and then clicked on the space.
The space was not locked, so it was easy to get in. However, there was nothing related to chemicals inside, but some advertisements for furniture and building materials.
Well...
It seems that he is a furniture seller.
He probably knows so much about wood because of his interest.
However, his knowledge may come in handy here.
Chu Guang thought for a moment, and suddenly had an idea in his mind, and threw him a private chat pop-up window.
"Friend, are you interested in joining the closed beta?"
It was nine o'clock in the morning in the wasteland, and it should be nine o'clock in the evening in China in the parallel world. It was a time of excitement, and it was impossible for him to fall asleep.
Sure enough, the brother named [WC really has mosquitoes] sent a question mark.
[? ]
[Who are you? ]
Chu Guang typed.
[I am the planner of Wasteland OL. ]
WC Zhenyou Mosquito: [What the hell? ! Are you the planner? ]
WC Zhenyou Mosquito: [Brother, how do I test it? Does it cost money? I don't have any money. ]
Chu Guang explained patiently.
[No need to spend money, just fill in a form, I'll send you the link. ]
Although he was full of doubts, WC Zhenyou Mosquito still clicked on the link and filled in the address and phone number on the official website reservation page.
However, when filling in the address, he still kept a careful eye and wrote the post station in the community instead of the house number.
WC Zhenyou Mosquito: [Then what? Is there any other program? ]
Guang: [No, send me the reservation number, I will mark it for you in the background, and I will notify you when it goes online in three days. ]
It takes three days to make a clone.
Just when Chu Guang was thinking, now that we have a carpenter, what else is missing in the outpost, the group message suddenly exploded.
Opening the group chat, it turned out that [WC really has mosquitoes] had just filled out the form and went to the group to show off.
[Hahahaha, my friends, I got the closed beta qualification! ! ! ]
Quit smoking: [What the hell? What the hell! ]
Quit smoking: [Why! I made the reservation first! T.T]
The group message exploded instantly.
Chu Guang's private chat also exploded.
Looking at the long string of small red dots, Chu Guang's scalp tingled, knowing that he could not dive any further, and hurried out to explain.
Guang: [Everyone, please be patient, the closed beta is also for everyone's game experience. At this stage, we need to test whether the game systems are complete, so we need some players with special field knowledge to act as guinea pigs. ]
Quit smoking: [I can be a guinea pig too! I have seven years of driving experience! T.T]
Spare someone's life: [Tsk, your seven years of driving experience is nothing, I can drive an excavator!]
What can I do to you: [Stop arguing, didn't you notice there are really mosquitoes in this WC? Didn't you just join the group yesterday? Maybe it's a small account managed by a dog! What kind of fully immersive virtual reality game is that? Rubbish! It's all fake!]
④ Who knows: [It doesn't look like a small account from the space...]
Quit smoking: [Brother Guang! I kneel to you! Give me a chance!]
Guang: [... Wait a few more days, there will be a hundred qualifications released in a few days, believe me, everyone will have a chance!]
The group members were excited again.
Chu Guang tried to calm the emotions of the group members, but found that it was useless. At this time, the other managers were in the game and could not manage this at all.
This won't work...
How about giving another qualification?
Chu Guang stroked his chin and pondered.
Anyway, the base has about ten kilograms of food in reserve. With a gun, we can hunt immediately. Two more pairs of chopsticks should be no problem...
Oh, food!
Chu Guang's eyes suddenly lit up and he typed on the keyboard.
Guang: [By the way, we are still short of a chef. ]
Guang: [Test the cooking system. ]
What Chu Guang didn't expect was that after he sent this message, the quarrels in the group became more exciting.
Not everyone can do carpentry, but the threshold for being a chef is too low.
Who can't make two dishes and a soup these days?
That's all you need to have hands!
Regardless of whether they really know how to cook or not, the guys in the group are bragging more than one another, saying things like "I can cook a plate of Kung Pao Chicken with my eyes closed" and "My dog can cook spicy chicken", and they almost boasted that they were the reincarnation of the God of Cooking or the God of Food.
In order to get the qualification for the closed beta test, these netizens did everything they could, but Chu Guang couldn't do it.
How the hell should I choose!
The debate lasted for half an hour until a guy showed off his New Oriental certificate.
This thing is indeed more convincing than bragging.
Chu Guang immediately announced the ownership of the sixth closed beta test qualification, and after asking for the reservation number in a private message, he logged off at the speed of light.
