Less than three seconds after the announcement was sent out, the official forum became lively instantly!
Compared with the event announcement, no one felt much about the birth of the first LV10 player.
After all, the upgrade speed of the strength system is faster than that of other systems, and Lao Bai is an old player who has been in the server since Alpha 0.1 version, so it is not surprising that he upgrades faster.
How difficult this game was in the early days is obvious to all the netizens who OB on the forum.
Compared with players who become stronger by their own ability, the European emperor is more hated.
The only thing that makes everyone feel strange is why LV10 needs to be mentioned separately.
In most MMORPGs, LV10 has just been released in the novice village?
What is there to mention in particular.
Or is there any new change in LV10 of Wasteland OL?
Makabazi: "LV10?! Damn! Old White is too fast!"
Midnight Killer: "+1, we are both strength-type, but I am only LV8. (￣ー￣)"
Stop bullshitting: "You can buy the Miner I Exoskeleton at LV10, right?"
Canyon Fleeing Mole: "The prerequisite is citizen + LV10, but generally speaking, if you can reach LV10, your contribution is basically enough for citizen level."
Battlefield Atmosphere Group: "2000 silver coins... Even if the threshold is reached, I'm afraid no one can afford it. (Looking up at the sky)"
Irena: "Not necessarily, maybe Boss Crow can. I see that she has been selling mushrooms and has never bought any equipment. She might be rich. (Funny)"
Night Ten: "+1, let's rob Boss Crow. (Funny)"
Ya Ya: "That's enough, I'm already unemployed, you should go rob Teng Teng. o(╥﹏╥)o"
Teng Teng: "!!"
The deposits of most players in the server are only three digits, and those who can reach four digits are the best in the server.
Even if there is no such threshold, few people can afford it.
At this time, someone mentioned the European emperor of the last expansion pack - the [Fountain Commander] who drew the exoskeleton, and the post was immediately filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.
It's so annoying!
Just because of good luck, I got the strongest god equipment in the version!
Is this reasonable?
Is it appropriate not to cut a knife?
It's okay not to cut a knife, unless I also get a set!
The Fountain Commander, who was caught in the crossfire for no reason, didn't dare to show up in the forum, and could only curse and complain in the small group he created.
"Fuck! Old White upgraded to LV10, why am I the one who got hurt! Aren't the first batch of closed beta players lucky enough? Go and beat him up!"
I'm the most ruthless: "Calm down, it must be because you are not strong enough, everyone thinks it's a waste to give you such good equipment."
Battlefield atmosphere group: "+1, how about you give me the exoskeleton? It happens that I am agile, quick to react, and not easy to die."
I'm the most ruthless: "Give it to me, I'm a newbie, a potential stock, and I'm also a perception type, I'm always one step behind me in danger, I guarantee that I won't lose a single piece of paint."
Battlefield atmosphere group: "How about we take turns, anyway, it will definitely be more useful than giving it to the intelligence type."
I'm the most ruthless: "I can't agree more."
Fountain commander: "I give you a thumbs up! (#`Д′)"
...
The next morning.
The hardworking little players gathered in front of the square of the outpost and began to line up to receive the task of exploring Shelter No. 117.
The NPC that triggered the task was the deputy captain of the guard team - the orange with a horse face.
After going online this time, players were surprised to find that this guy actually changed into an exoskeleton.
"What the hell? The exoskeleton of the captain of the guard team was replaced by the manager... Where did his exoskeleton come from?"
"Picked it up in Shelter No. 117?"
"According to the settings on the official website, the correct explanation should be that due to the outstanding work performance of our manager, the organization deep underground decided to support him with a new set of equipment."
"In other words, as long as we work hard enough, our manager will soon be able to change into a brand new set of power armor?"
"Gan! Why do I feel like a leek when you say that."
"Stop talking nonsense, the activity convoy is about to set off, has anyone received a mission? Let's go together."
"Me, me, me, Boss, take me with you!"
In order to prevent players from entering Shelter No. 117 in large numbers, causing traffic congestion, and the noise from attracting alien species from other areas of the tunnel, only 50 places are released per hour.
After receiving the task, a new activity task option will be updated in the task bar of the player VM. After clicking it, you can see the following interface——
[Activity Task: Our Neighbors]
[Content: Take VM to visit Shelter No. 117 and check in all scenes. ]
[Notes:
1. Do not bring weapons into the shelter. There is a checkpoint at the entrance of the shelter where equipment can be temporarily stored.
2. Do not take or destroy the props in Shelter No. 117 at will. If it is necessary to pick up and observe, please put them back in place after observation.
3. Make good use of the marking function in the VM three-dimensional area map. There are hidden easter eggs in the shelter. Find and mark them, and they will trigger hidden rewards after the event ends. (Each player has only one chance)
]
[Side quest:
1. Investigate the reason why Shelter No. 117 was abandoned: Shelter No. 117 maintains its appearance before it was abandoned. The personal belongings of the residents are scattered in the room. We need to find out what happened there.
2. Unknown clues: waiting for players to explore on their own
]
[Personal exploration progress: 0%]
[Overall server exploration progress: 0%]
Regarding the Easter eggs mentioned in the "Precautions", to be honest, Chu Guang himself doesn't know what they are. The reason why he mentioned that there are Easter eggs is mainly to stimulate the players' desire to explore.
Whether there are or not, just look for them anyway.
What if his little players find some clues that he missed?
Then there will be Easter eggs, right?
Besides, it doesn't matter if they don't find them.
When the time comes, just browse around the forum and pick a few posts that are hotly discussed and look like they are real, and claim them.
Players will never think that they have copied homework, but will be ecstatic for discovering the Easter eggs left by the planner.
Standing in the corridor of the sanatorium, looking at the crowded and eager players in the square, a sunny smile appeared on Chu Guang's face.
"I'm simply a genius."
Xiaoyu, who was sitting behind the bank counter, raised her head and blinked curiously.
Is this something that needs to be emphasized?
She always thought that Brother Chu was very smart.
On the other side of the square, looking at the old players who were gathered around Liu Ding and were ready to set off after receiving the mission, the new players of Alpha0.7 and 0.8 all had envious expressions on their faces.
To buy a VM, you need to reach the citizen level, and to be promoted to a citizen, you need 2,000 contribution points. If you are fast, it will take a week, and if you are slow, it may take half a month.
Players of Alpha0.7 version are fine. Except for those who are stuck with the resurrection bug, basically they have accumulated enough contribution points. And those little players who were unfortunately hit by stray bullets in the faction war, and those who entered the game in version 0.8, many people's contributions have just reached four digits.
It was the first time they saw a game that even the system interface had to be purchased with money.
This is too much!
Envy is envy, but there is no point in complaining if the setting is like this. If you want to experience the full content of the game, you can only prove your loyalty to the manager by playing hard.
With a yearning for a better life, the newbies stayed in the square for a while, then went to the warehouse manager to get tasks and play daily activities.
Of course, there are also some who want to take shortcuts.
For example, now, in the center of the square, a little player stood there and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Is there any brother who can lend me a VM? I, Zhang Hai, will definitely reward you handsomely!"
WC really has mosquitoes passing by here. Seeing that this person looks familiar, he recognized that he was the newbie who squatted in the carriage with him last time, so he went over and teased him.
"Brother, you can't even take out a VM, what kind of reward can you give me?"
Zhang Hai laughed.
"I'll give you something to eat."
Mosquito: "Get lost!"
After shouting for a long time, no one else paid attention.
Looking at the sparsely populated square, Zhang Hai sighed and shook his head, sighing.
"The world is going downhill, people's hearts are not the same as before... Damn, I can't even borrow a VM, this game is too real."
The 90% new Quit Smoking guy just came back to hand in the task, and saw the new guy still shouting in the square, and couldn't help but say something.
"Don't think about it, brother, VM and account ID are bound one-to-one. Don't ask me how I know, I have tried all the methods you have thought of, this game has almost no solution for big bugs, and almost no small bugs... It's better not to think about bugs, it's meaningless."
Zhang Hai was shocked when he heard this.
"Damn! Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Speechless by his newbie's reaction, Quit Smoking couldn't help but complain.
"...Brother, don't you go to the official website?"
Zhang Hai suddenly realized and shook his head.
"Oh, you mean the forum? I don't even go there. There are too many posts there. I refresh the page and dozens of them pop up. My eyes hurt."
Quit smoking: "..."
This guy...
Is he really only 30 years old?
...
Qingquan City, the edge of the Fifth Ring Road.
In front of the main entrance of the abandoned commercial complex.
Old White, wearing a light hunting suit, put down the javelin bag on his back, weighed the javelin in his hand, and locked his eyes on the gnawer closest to the gate.
Ten meters away.
For the battle-hardened Old White, this distance almost eliminates the problem of missing the target.
Take a deep breath of cold air
Old White calmed down and focused all his attention on every inch of muscle and joints in his body, then threw the javelin in his hand.
Boundary -
Breakthrough!
It happened in an instant.
The electrical and chemical signals traveling through the neurons suddenly increased, and his muscles also expanded violently in an instant.
There was only a sound of breaking through the air!
The javelin drew an almost invisible afterimage in the air, and blasted into the door like a cannonball, nailing the gnawer to the wall three meters away.
The gnawer whose chest was pierced did not die immediately, and was still struggling with its last breath.
The gnawer wandering nearby raised his head blankly, and his frozen neck swayed slowly from side to side, as if looking for the attacker, but found nothing.
Looking at his right hand in surprise, Lao Bai's face was full of excitement.
Before he could speak, Ye Shi, who was standing by and watching, couldn't help but say.
"Fuck! This skill is a bit awesome!"
When it was just online before the event started, there were already crowds of people around the event NPC, and it was impossible to squeeze in.
Considering that there was no time limit for the activity anyway, and there was no need to rush, the Niuma team came to the edge of the Fifth Ring Road in Qingquan City at the suggestion of Fang Chang, found a place suitable for leveling, and tested the combat effectiveness of the strength system LV10.
It turns out that the gap between LV9 and LV10 is not ordinary.
When Lao Bai reached LV, it was like he had broken through a bottleneck. Both the panel data and actual combat ability had a qualitative leap.
"More than awesome... This power is simply BUG-level." Kuangfeng, who was standing aside, had an envious expression on his face.
Although he could also throw the javelin with the effect of a cannonball, that was with the help of a mechanical prosthesis.
Unlike Lao Bai, who has no equipment bonus, he can reach a level comparable to that of a mechanical prosthesis simply by relying on muscle strength.
If the strength system is so awesome, what's the point of mechanical ascension?
If the machine is broken, it needs to be repaired. If it is used for a long time, it needs maintenance. If it encounters EMP, it is more likely to break down. The money earned from doing tasks is used to repair equipment. I am afraid that my pockets are empty than my face if I have a complete set of equipment.
But physical enhancement is different. Even if I die accidentally, I don't feel bad. I can wait for three days and be a hero again. This cost-effectiveness is simply unbeatable.
A few days ago, Kuangfeng was still excited to think that the spring of intelligence is coming.
Now it seems that it is too early to be happy!
Lao Bai smiled and touched the back of his head.
"It's not a bug. I think it's quite reasonable. After all, it is an early-stage profession. If the advantage in the early stage is not obvious, won't you just stare blankly in the later stage?"
Ye Shi couldn't help but complain: "I think your early stage is a bit long!"
Lao Bai laughed heartily.
"Not important!"
"To be honest, the power of that attack just now is enough to deal with the crawler," Fang Chang crossed his arms over his chest, and also had an envious expression on his face, "With my dynamic vision, I almost didn't see the trajectory of the javelin!"
The agility attribute affects not only the reaction ability, but also the visual enhancement. It was so fast that even he couldn't see it, which is enough to show how terrifying the power of that attack was!
I don't know what talents will be unlocked by the agility level 10.
He has just been promoted to level 9, and he is looking forward to the world after level 10!
After listening to Fang Chang's evaluation, Lao Bai thought for a while, shook his head, and expressed his feelings.
"It's still difficult to use a javelin. The crawler moves too fast, and the pre-swing action of throwing a javelin is too long. It's hard to hit from a distance, and there's no time to charge and aim if you're close. But to be honest, this talent is probably better than throwing objects in close combat. With an exoskeleton and a long-handled weapon, it can deal tons of damage in a short period of time! Even if I run into a mutant, I have the confidence to knock him down!"
His axe was specially made for the No. 81 Steel Plant. It has wide blades on both sides and a sharp point on the head. It can chop, poke, and hook. It is very useful for both humans and aliens.
Fang Chang continued to ask: "In addition to the talent of breaking through the boundary, do you feel any other changes?"
Lao Bai thought for a while and said.
"Other changes... It's hard to describe. Specifically, the muscles and bones feel stronger than before, and the athletic ability is stronger, but it doesn't seem to be obvious from the appearance."
At this point, Lao Bai sighed with a little emotion.
"Hey, every time I play this game, I can't help but think, if I can have such a good physique in real life!"
It's okay to have the physique in the game in real life.
Hearing this, Fang Chang had an intriguing expression on his face.
Let alone other things, just in terms of archery, if his physique in real life can catch up with half of that in the game, I'm afraid he can go directly to the Olympic Games to show off!
What does it mean to have an agility attribute of more than 10 points?
Just in terms of vision and dynamic vision, there are few normal humans who can be his opponents.
Unless he is mutated.
After imagining the scene, Ye Shi frowned: "Wait, if that good thing really happens, wouldn't I lose a lot of money? The perception attribute is completely useless."
Kuangfeng said calmly: "Not necessarily, you go to Macau and try it."
Ye Shi was stunned at first, and then shocked: "Fuck! Why didn't I think of it!"
Kuangfeng laughed and said nothing.
If he really wants to use his imagination, his intelligence should be the most popular.
At this moment, Lao Bai, who was staring at VM, suddenly spoke.
"It seems that there is a new task in my task bar."
Upon hearing that there was a new task, Ye Shi immediately came over and took a curious look.
"What task, let me take a look."
"Explore the ecological experimental base of Zhongzhou Aerospace in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City. The task rewards 200 silver coins and 200 contributions... What is the ecological experimental base?"
While speaking, Lao Bai switched to the map page of VM, and dragged his index finger on the touch screen a few times, dragging it to the location of the task beacon.
It is an unexplored area, located in the north-east direction of the outpost, with a straight-line distance of about 15.7 kilometers.
Judging from the pre-war map, there are not many urban buildings nearby, and the terrain is relatively high. It is very likely to become a forest after the war.
Kuangfeng, who also came close, touched his chin and said.
"It's actually a mission for the scientific expedition team... After the official website updated the gameplay of the scientific expedition team last time, this is the first time I've seen Dr. Yin Fang issue a mission."
"Maybe the condition for unlocking the mission is LV10?" Lao Bai looked at his good brothers with an interested expression, eager to try, "What do you say, brothers? Do you want to challenge it?"
The B3 layer of the greenhouse ruins has just been conquered, the mission has not been handed in, and the B4 level has not been triggered, so there is no need to rush to the strategy in the next two days.
Anyway, the ruins will not run away, so why not take a look at what this new mission is.
The name of this research institute sounds complicated!
Ye Shi: "I have no objection!"
Kuang Feng: "Me too, just take a look at what the mission of the scientific expedition team is like."
"+1," Fang Chang smiled, "It would be a pity to miss such an interesting thing."
Lao Bai said with a hearty smile.
"Then it's settled! Let's go back to the outpost to change our equipment and meet at the north gate of the wetland park!"
Ye Shi raised his hand.
"Wait, how can we get there from such a long distance?"
Lao Bai said with a smile.
"Don't worry about that! The mission mentioned that the scientific expedition team will support us with a truck to take us to the vicinity of our destination!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
15.7 kilometers!
If we walk, it will probably take most of the day to go back and forth.
Just as the cattle and horse team returned to the outpost, the players who went to explore Shelter No. 117 had already arrived in front of the huge alloy door in the subway tunnel.
This huge door has not been closed since it was opened last time.
There were crowds of people in front of the door, and pairs of curious eyes looked inside.
The guard stationed at the entrance of the shelter walked up to the players and spoke in a loud voice.
"Players who have received the mission, please leave your equipment with me."
"Shelter No. 117 is a weapons control area. It is forbidden to bring firearms, knives, explosives, flammables, and dangerous goods into it."
"There is no limit to the exploration time, but please try to keep it within one hour!"
"Good luck!"
