The atmosphere was boiling like fire, and the noise of people was like the roaring waves.
Standing on the third floor, Chu Guang could see the faces full of enthusiasm.
He could even touch the excitement and desire with his nose.
The blood was surging in his heart.
The emotional resonance spread among the crowd.
He believed.
He was not the only one waiting for this moment.
At six o'clock in the evening.
The boiling voices in the square subsided a little, and at this moment, the solemn and loud voice sounded above the square.
"Nearly two hundred days and nights have passed since the gate was opened. It took us only half a year to go from the endless wilderness to the thousands of acres of fertile fields outside the farm."
"In this short six months, we drove out alien species, conquered barbarism, defeated the tide, advanced in the artillery fire, and cultivated on the barren soil."
"We have accomplished a miracle that others consider impossible, which is accompanied by sacrifice, but we have not left anyone behind."
"Now we have enough reason to believe that we have the courage and the ability to bring order to more distant places!"
"Let's cheer for this moment!"
"For ourselves and for everyone around us!"
"Victory belongs to us!"
"Belongs to all those who have fought for this land!"
The voice fell, resounding.
The applause was thunderous.
The cheers resounded through the square.
"Long live the Administrator!"
"Shelter 404 will live forever!"
"Long live the Human Alliance!"
"Long live Demacia!"
"Emperor of Mankind!"
"People live for--woo, woo, woo, let me go, let me finish!"
Some people shouted greatness and long live, while others said something difficult to understand or even confusing, but the pure emotion was indeed the same.
People expressed their excitement in their own way, venting their emotional resonance in cheers.
Waiting for the surging sound waves to subside.
At the end of the opening ceremony of the celebration, Chu Guang announced the resolution of the management of Shelter 404--in the background setting of "Wasteland OL", the authority of the administrator is also granted by the "overhead organization" located at the bottom of the shelter.
"...According to the collective vote of the management of No. 404, Shelter No. 404 will fulfill the mission entrusted to us by the Human Alliance era, work hand in hand with our compatriots waiting for us on the surface, rebuild a new alliance on the ruins, rebuild a new world of equality and prosperity, and rebuild our home!"
In the name of the alliance, the United Front for the Revival of Human Civilization was officially established!
In order to distinguish it from the Human Alliance of the old era, it is referred to as the "New Alliance" or "New Alliance".
From the North Fifth Ring Road of Qingquan City to Yuanxi Town, a large area across the Elm District will serve as the first restoration area of the new alliance.
And a large area of land from the outpost to Changjiu Farm will be merged and managed in the name of Dawn City as the capital of the new alliance.
As for the legislative work and system construction, it will also be carried out later, so I won't go into details here. There are still many detailed and complex tasks, but fortunately, there is also a lot of time, and people have enough time to explore the path that suits them.
This job is like developing an APP. You can first come up with a bug that can run, and then slowly adjust it to make this bug acceptable to most people, or at least not uncomfortable for most people.
Even in the prosperous era with extremely abundant productivity and resources, there is no program that satisfies everyone 100%. Even big data that has been tempered by thousands of times will occasionally make people's blood pressure rise.
But in the final analysis, it is better to have it than not.
Chaos has lasted for two centuries in the River Valley Province, and the people living here have been waiting for this moment for too long.
Even though most of the natives do not understand the meaning of the alliance, at least not yet, it does not prevent them from cheering for the arrival of this moment.
They need a reason to unite.
A reason that can be proudly said.
Standing in the tin can, Bachi rubbed the lower edge of the helmet with his index finger, and looked up at Chu Guang standing on the third floor of the sanatorium with interest.
"New Alliance... sounds interesting."
Witnessing the birth of a new force, his journey to the west is worthwhile.
There was no change in Heya's expression. Her mind was now full of the specimens of the mother nest, DNA, and the research on the induced expression serum.
Having experienced that "farce", she had already seen through the boredom in human nature. She was only interested in things that were worth her interest.
Yin Fang, who was standing aside, touched his nose and said thoughtfully.
"It was beyond my expectation."
Bachi looked at him curiously.
"What's the expectation?"
"I thought he would crown himself emperor."
Although this was said in a teasing tone, Yin Fang was not joking at all.
Shelter No. 404 did not give him the feeling of a real shelter, at least not like the several shelters he had visited.
Perhaps because of faith, or perhaps because of personal charm, the residents here unconditionally obeyed and even worshipped him.
As long as the man wanted, he could do whatever he wanted. Not to mention being an emperor, no one could oppose him for more exaggerated things.
In fact, from Yin Fang's understanding of Chu Guang, this man rarely cares about the means to achieve his goals, and some of his actions always make him dumbfounded.
However, what is puzzling is that he rarely does these things for himself.
People are indeed complicated things...
"Long live the New Alliance! Long live Dawn City!" Ditwei, standing on the edge of the crowd, cheered excitedly, even more exaggerated than the locals, attracting the attention of others.
Chairman Er, the owner of the Gray Squirrel Clothing Store, looked at this guy in surprise. He came here to purchase goods and happened to catch up with this celebration, but he didn't expect to see an old customer.
"Aren't you from Boulder City?"
"What's the relationship?" With excitement on his face, Ditwei said nonchalantly, "We are all survivors of Qingquan City. We live in the same wasteland. Is there any problem with me cheering? There is no problem at all!"
People from Boulder City?
He didn't remember having this label.
He is a merchant, a businessman walking in the wasteland. He was neither born there nor a retainer of the lord. He follows whoever can make him rich, and takes money wherever he can make money.
If you think he is a person from Boulder City just because he often does business in Boulder City, you are totally wrong!
Not only Ditwei thought so, but Lister, who was standing not far away, also had the same idea in his heart, but his mood was far more complicated than this guy.
He has a good reputation among the merchants in Boulder City. He has traveled all over the country for more than ten years, and he only has the idea of living in the inner city.
But recently, this idea suddenly wavered.
This is quite incredible.
Lister has been to many places that are more prosperous than here, such as the ideal city in Yunjian Province, which is like heaven.
But he has never thought of spending the rest of his life there.
The people there think about things that are completely different from what he thinks. Even with simple business contacts, he can feel that he and they are from two different worlds.
If he went there with his property to live, the biggest possibility would be that he would live off his property and then leave in disgrace. The people there never thought of accommodating others, and he could not integrate into the local life at all.
But it was different here. No matter whether he was a refugee or a traveling merchant, he could be accepted as long as he obeyed the local laws.
Yes, it was the same in Boulder City. At least anyone could enter the outer city, but the two places gave him completely different feelings.
Liszt couldn't describe the feeling.
But it was different anyway.
Xia Yan, standing at the door of the weapon store, stared at the azure power armor in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
Xiao Yu, who was sitting on her neck, was excitedly shaking her calves, stretching her neck and looking around, chewing the plastic stick in her mouth.
She didn't understand what Brother Chu was saying.
But it seemed that everyone was very happy.
Something good must have happened!
Tail, sitting on Rou Rou's shoulder, looked at the direction of the weapon store with envy and jealousy, and kept muttering in his mouth.
"Damn... Why is it Boss Xia who is carrying Xiaoyu! Tail also wants to be Xiaoyu's mount!"
Sisi looked at her in surprise.
"Hey! Can I call the police?"
At this great moment when the indigenous people and players celebrated together, a server announcement was also updated in the VM of all players at the same time.
And the official website of the forum.
[Announcement of the Beta0.1 version update of the "Wasteland OL" closed beta server! ]
[Major update:
1. The upper limit of the closed beta player is increased from 1500 to 4500!

]

2. Added more caravans from outside the Valley Province, and developed unique local languages and cultural customs for them.
3. Xiaoyu has grown another 1cm taller.
4. Fixed a few bugs.
…
]
Still the same old rules.
At the same time as the announcement was released, Chu Guang asked Xiaoqi to post the pre-edited post on the official website forum!
"Developer Log: Beta0.1 Version"
"Hello everyone, I am your dearest planner A Guang! It's been a long time since we met, but I have been watching you on the forum."
"After sacrificing 200 siege lions, our server finally regained its life. Now we can accommodate 4,500 players online at the same time! Currently, the helmets are being produced overtime. We plan to release 10 to 40 activation codes and virtual helmets every day. In other words, every day after three days, there will be fresh and delicious - I mean cute newbies joining us!"
"Are you happy? Are you excited? Although there is a long queue in front of the gate of the new world, at least now the gate has opened a small crack! Don't applaud for us, give the applause to those testers, they have suffered a lot in the server... What? You also want to come in and suffer? Wait a little longer! There will be a chance!"
"In short, with the efforts of countless test players, our virtual community has taken shape, and "Wasteland OL" has finally ushered in the B round of testing! We promise to end the closed beta before "Give Him Love 6" and "Star Cake" are launched, and decide whether to add an internal test before the public beta depending on the actual situation."
"Tell me about this Beta version!"
"In the new version, we will focus more on the development of the virtual community itself, enhance the cooperation between players and players, players and NPCs, and enrich players' professional gameplay and choices."
"The traditional task acceptance is still the most mainstream gameplay, but it is no longer the only choice. You can choose to skip complex tasks, use the money saved from working to register as a traveling merchant in the "Traveling Merchants' Union", and start a small business. Start to expand your business little by little, and then lose it all again. "
"If you don't want to bear all the risks alone, you can also rely on cheating to get your friends on your black car, let them bear part of the cost, and the price is a little bit of profit. "
"If you are not interested in doing business, and you don't have the confidence to bargain with cunning wastelanders with poor human language, you can also try to hire NPPC employment, manage your own or other people's trade routes, and eventually become a tycoon or a well-known deadbeat. "
"You can even register to be a caravan guard who is busy putting out fires, put aside the worries of money, and focus on enjoying the journey itself. Anyway, death is just a three-day CD back to the city for you. "
"In addition to the above, we have also prepared new Content - that is, the exciting Corps system! "
"In the new version, the combat mode of the player forces will evolve from conscripted soldiers to standing corps. NPCs will set up one or more standing corps as needed. Some corps will be open to players to join, mainly for combat professional players who are not interested in command and focus on mainstream mission gameplay. "
"Of course, in addition to the standing corps established by NPCs, the new version also allows players to set up their own corps. If you have enough confidence in your command art and have proved it to others, you can also consider taking an unusual path. "
"Any player with more than three silver medals and a contribution level of senior citizens can form an independent 'corps' with at least two friends who are above the middle citizen level. ', set your own flag and number, and recruit other players who trust you and share the same ideals to join the team. "
"We have designed a special growth route for the Corps system. It is divided into ten levels like the skill proficiency system, and the scale is divided into ten-man team, hundred-man team and even thousand-man team. Accumulating military merits can get promotion, increase the upper limit of recruitment, larger station and more budget. "
"It is worth mentioning that although the Corps was born for war, its function is not just to fight against foreign countries, but also to maintain order, suppress rebellion, protect peace, expel alien species, resist waves and build homes. "
"In a peaceful state, the Corps can choose whether to participate in tasks such as mercenaries, guards, weapons testing, etc. according to its own needs, and obtain funds from the tasks to purchase and upgrade equipment. When the war breaks out, each Corps will automatically respond to the call of war in the shelter and go to the front line to fight. "
"We will strengthen the cooperation between professional life players and professional combat players, and through reasonable balance design, let the two different gameplays get the same game experience. We will give the player corps more rights to dispose of spoils, and will also encourage professional players to support the front line more from the logistics aspect, and take what they need from the captured spoils. "
"Investing in a battle with a greater chance of winning may be a sure win, but a risky battle may also bring huge dividends. "
"But it should be noted that although the player corps can determine the target of the attack to a certain extent, it does not have the right to declare war independently, nor can it declare war on external forces on behalf of the new alliance. "
"As the direct person in charge, the corps leader needs to strictly restrain his team. The price of violating discipline is not only the withdrawal of flags and numbers, but major violations will even affect whether the account can continue to be used..."
The post was sent in less than a minute.
The forum, which was originally calm, exploded instantly.
"Fuck! ? The B round test is really open!"
"Dog planner is awesome!"
"A Guang: Well said, your account is gone."
"Hahahaha! "
"By the way, why didn't I see those closed beta tickets on the forum today?"
"Those with tickets are all online! Those damn Europeans! They are probably having a blast in the game right now and don't have time to show off on the forum."
"Fuck! Why can't we wait until the new version is online before holding the celebration? If we do this, I will miss the entire Spring Festival event!"
"Calm down. Even if the celebration is held after the new version is online, you still have to wait three days to enter the game, not to mention that there are only 40 qualifications released every day. Are you sure you can win?"
"Fuck! Do you have to be so real!"
"Don't say it! "
Since the last time the screenshot function was launched, a large number of high-definition screenshots have flooded into the forum, and the number of reservations has already exceeded the six-digit mark and is heading for seven digits.
With so many people queuing at the same time, there are only 40 numbers at most every day. There are always people who can get in line and some who can't.
However, compared with the endless waiting before, there is always hope that an account will be released every day.
Unlike the Alpha version, sometimes it was released several times a month, and sometimes not a single account was released in a month, which was really anxious.
Cloud players cheered the arrival of the B round of testing, and the gossip section of the entire forum was crazy. Only the few sections that were limited to closed beta players had not become lively.
However.
It is only a matter of time before it becomes lively.
Online players' VMs can also receive news of version updates.
As soon as the celebration began, A long queue formed at the entrance of the save point, all of them were players who planned to take a shortcut to log off and join the fun on the official website.
If you don't want to go to the save point, there are other options. The beer and corn wine at the celebration are unlimited, and 5 silver coins can buy a large cup or a large bowl.
Old players are even more convenient. They found a place to lie down without getting in the way, and then directly used VM to ask Xiaoqi to help turn off the power.
Since the previous Alpha1.0 version, there are too many ways to tactically log off.
But not everyone is in a hurry to run to the official website.
Why bother?
Friends are all in the game.
Isn't it the same to discuss anywhere?
In the square.
Looking at the server announcement that popped up on the VM, the fountain commander touched his chin with excitement.
"Having your own base, funds allocated by the official shelter, and being able to recruit players... No level restrictions? In other words, you can recruit new people? "
Although his level is not very good, he has the highest command skill proficiency in the whole server.
The edge paddler is also obviously interested. The requirements for establishing an independent corps are three silver medals and senior citizenship. He fully meets the standards. One of the medals is a "special medal" with a shield.
The debt-ridden big-eyed man standing next to him smiled and said.
"How about the name of the Death Corps?"
"Get lost!"
Although he said get lost, he was obviously tempted.
On the other side, several people from the Niu Ma team also gathered together to discuss and
After reading the server announcement about quitting smoking, they immediately shouted in surprise.
"Awesome! By the way, is this corps system preparing for guild gameplay?"
"Eighty percent of it is," Fang Chang nodded and said thoughtfully, "The information revealed by A Guang in the post is very clear. The new version will emphasize the cooperation between players and focus on the improvement of the community. "
Mole brother beside him heard it and hesitated: "Generally, MMs will start to attract players to the guild gameplay after level 30 or even level 60, right? The highest level of the server is less than LV20. Isn't it too hasty to start warming up now? "
Generally, after completing the main quest of a MM, the level is basically close to the maximum level. If you want to increase the game content, you can only rely on constantly patching the plot, constantly releasing expansion packs, blackening popular characters, and whitewashing villains.
But this alone is obviously not enough.
Sylvanas can't burn the tree twice.
Most MM's strategy is to guide players to form a community and bind players in the game with guilds and interpersonal relationships.
Similarly, there are mentors and apprentices and marriage.
However, "Wasteland OL" obviously does not have this problem.
There are so many contents to explore in the wasteland world, it is just like a real world. Even if the dog planner does not make any updates, the existing gameplay alone is enough for players to toss for a long time.
Fang Chang: "In fact, there is no difference. Generally, MM can reach level 50~60 after half a year of hard work. The upgrade difficulty of "Wasteland OL" is obviously much greater than that of traditional MM. It is normal to give high-level players more gameplay options. "
Lao Bai nodded.
"Indeed, there were few people on the server before, and there were many tasks. Now that the number of players has increased, there are not enough trees near the park."
Not just trees.
The garbage in the ruins will not be refreshed after picking it up.
If you want to get more benefits, you can only go farther.
It's not just cutting trees and scavenging, other professions are the same.
After a pause, Fang Chang looked at his friends and continued.
"Let's make a prediction. In at most two versions, the server will definitely open the hibernation capsule used for archiving to players for purchase, allowing players to establish their own archive points, and even allow players to purchase cultivation capsules and set their own resurrection points!"
Ye Shi hesitated and said, "What does this mean?"
Fang Chang only answered with two words.
"Territory!"
