This Game is Too Real Chapter 241

   Chapter 241 Expansion is online! visit with old friends

  【New Expansion: "Forging Swords into Plows"】

  【Introduction: The winter has come to an end, and the time for the recovery of all things is coming. Right now is a critical period for spring ploughing production and preparation for ploughing. Only by ensuring the food supply in the coming year can we wake up more compatriots to go to the surface and start the next stage of work. 】

  【Content: From now on, "Wasteland Online" will open a series of tasks that include farming, management and other related elements, players can get them through VM or find NPCs such as Luca, Guo Niu, Guo Ma, etc. Completing missions tagged with expansion packs will earn you event points.

   After the expansion, the points can be used for lottery, redemption of expansion titles, special rewards, and agricultural land! 】

  Happiness came too suddenly.

  Without the slightest sign, not even the promotion of pv, the Alpha 1.0 version and the new expansion suddenly appeared on the bulletin board of the official website of "Wasteland OL".

  Almost at the same time as the announcement, the little players who squatted on the official website to share today's game history, and the daily sand sculpture netizens were instantly boiling!

   In less than a minute, the comments below the announcement popped up hundreds of floors.

Tail:"!!!"

  Quit Smoking: "New expansion?! Awesome!"

  Makabazi: "Forging swords into plows?! Can activity points be exchanged for land?! Damn, my DNA has moved!!"

  Leave people under the knife: "Life professional players are ecstatic!"

  Tengteng: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, I finally got the expansion piece that belongs to the life professional players, I can't help you with the battle or anything at all. QAQ"

  Yaya: "It's okay! Leave the battle to Yaya, and Fujiteng is responsible for making good-looking clothes! (@≥︶≤@

  Ye Shi: "If you don't understand, ask, has Boss Crow ever been on the front line? (funny

   Crow: "??? Are you polite?"

   Debt and big eyes: "Wait a minute, the first two expansions 'Winter is coming' and 'Land rowing', which version of the expansion is not a life professional player!?"

  I am the darkest: "That's it! Don't even think about tampering with memory! Professional combat players also need expansion packs! (Crazy

  Battlefield Atmosphere Team: "Please plan, let's get another wave of predators! The exoskeleton I just saved to buy, I spent money to make a bulletproof, actually told me that the predators ran away! T.T"

  Quan Shui Commander: "I knew earlier that I would take the money to buy a tractor, right? Fortunately, I saved the money. (Squint smile

  Ye Ten: "It is suggested that the next expansion will be the Burning Crusade. I think we can completely take down Xizhou City and help Miss Teng Teng open the market in the north. (Funny

  Irena: "Open the door, free trade? But I think the looters there probably can't afford clothes. (funny

Professor Yang of the Lightning Dharma King: "Tsk, you guys, you are still too young, is there no residual value for the poor? Can't afford it? It's easy to say, I used to build a few plantations and send them in to grow cotton. Should I be able to afford it? (screaming

  Ye Shi: "Fuck, my understanding of the version is not as good as Yun Player?!"

  Old Bai: "Come to our brick factory to work, we will hire you as the factory manager. (Squint smile

  Professor Yang of Lightning Dharma King: "Hey, if I talk too much, I will cry. T.T"

  Chu Guang briefly glanced at the comment area at the bottom of the announcement, and found that the enthusiasm of the players for the discussion of the new version and the expansion was simply higher than the sky.

  Many players have begun to share their experience of growing vegetables on the forum, and hard-core players have even posted the design drawings of agricultural machinery on the forum.

  Although most of these posts ended up being crooked and turned into Versailles with how many acres of land in my family, there are still many experiences worth learning from.

   I believe it should come in handy in the upcoming spring ploughing.

   If it is not for the characters in the game, they have to sleep. In reality, they have to go to work. Eighty percent of many players have already put on their helmets and went to work on the starting line.

   There are also those little cute newcomers who have obtained the qualifications for the beta test. In addition to the ecstasy, they have expressed their acceptance speeches one after another.

   As for the cloud players who did not get the qualifications for the beta test...

  Although Chu Guang was also anxious for them, there was no way to be anxious about such a thing.

   He is a real planner.

   But the game is not a real game. Even a wishing machine like the "black box" needs to consume electricity and materials to produce the dormant cabin, and the maximum output is 24 a day.

  It is impossible to conjure something out of thin air.

   There are nearly 100,000 pre-registered players, but there are only 300 training cabins left. Even if Chu Guang fully opened these cans, the probability of players winning the lottery is only 0.3%.

   It is impossible to get everyone into the game.

   Moreover, when the number of immigrants exceeds the limit of society's ability to bear, 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 the breakers of the existing rules and become obstacles to development.

   This is also one of the reasons why most online games on Steam can't be played once the discount season and free week arrive.

   After reading all the hottest posts on the forum, Chu Guang thought for a while, and then updated the "Developer Diary" as usual.

Although the players are very diligent, in order to let the players enjoy the game better, and also to appease the professional combat players who feel abandoned by the version, Chu Guang feels that it is necessary to talk to the players as a planner. Brand new version.

Guang: "Hello everyone, I'm your dearest planning Aguang, the planning department last month was quite peaceful, no one was sacrificed this time, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that a whole winter has been added. class, we finally got the Alpha 1.0 version!"

"Thank you to all the beta testers for your continuous efforts and support, as well as the programmers who worked overtime until they were bald, and the NPCs who risked their lives to screw screws on the assembly line. Without your tireless efforts, we would not have been able to achievement now."

   "Developing a game is not an easy task, especially such an epoch-making game. We are now and will be in the initial stage of game development for a long time."

"Building a utopian virtual community is not an easy task, and it requires our joint efforts. This time may be long, maybe three years, maybe five years, but we promise that it will not be better than the "Painting Citizen" next door , "Old Roll 6" and Heaven's Kingdom's "Love Him 6" will last longer, and they will never put half-finished products on the shelves, cut a wave of leeks, turn around and run away."

   "I believe that many players should have discovered that the content of the new expansion is basically concentrated on the word 'business'."

"We hope to build a near-real economic system in this way. Every player and NPC can play a different role in this simulated reality system, undertake different social divisions of labor, and become the builder of this virtual community. ."

   "This may sound idealistic, but we think it's worth a shot."

   The next day.

   Before dawn, a large number of players flocked to Changchang Farm excitedly, forming a dark circle around the door of the warehouse.

   Looking at the residents of the shelter surrounding the warehouse, Luca, who had just woken up, thought something was wrong, and was dumbfounded.

   "Is there anything I need help with?"

   "Mingren don't speak secretly, I'm here to do the task!"

   "Tian! Where is Tian?"

   "My **** is already hungry!"

   Although he couldn't understand what the players were saying, Luca quickly realized that this might be the arrangement of the manager.

   So he immediately opened the VM and took a look.

   Sure enough, it really is!

   The residents of these shelters are here to help!

   After reading the instructions of the manager, Old Luca was moved, and he couldn't help but look at the players surrounding the warehouse door.

   This dedication and hard-working spirit is hard not to admire.

   In a solemn and serious tone, old Luca said.

   "We need to plant the seeds in the spring, and before planting the seeds, we need to clear the field of weeds, level the ground, drive out the alien species that are active in the area, and destroy their nests."

   "Thank you, we are short of manpower right now, you came at the right time!"

   "Please bring your tools and come with me!"

   Having said that, Old Luca walked ahead and took the players to the open space on the west side of Changchang Farm.

  The terrain here is relatively flat, and it is close to the warehouse. It is also an area that is relatively easy to reclaim.

  In the plan of the manager, the land is collectively owned by the shelter, and will be cultivated by hired farmers. The harvested grain will enter the granary as a strategic reserve to balance the price of grain in the market.

   Further west is the land planned to be contracted to private individuals, and further afield is the area that prisoners of war are responsible for reclaiming.

   After arriving at the destination, the specific wasteland reclamation tasks are quickly refreshed on the player's VM, and the area that each player or team is responsible for is also marked on the map.

   For every mu of land that can be cultivated, you can get 100 event reward points.

   After the expansion, you only need to spend at least 300 activity points to exchange one acre of your own land, and you can plant anything you want on it, as long as you don't change the land use.

   If you spend more points, you can also buy fertile land on the edge of Linghu Lake.

   Under the temptation of the land, the enthusiasm of the players to open up wasteland can be said to be unprecedentedly high.

   Especially seeing the proficiency of farming skills rising steadily, many people are working harder.

   Plow the land with the Awakened.

   Such extravagant things are unique in this area of ​​Qingquan City.

   But even so, land reclamation is still not an easy task

   The first is to clear the weeds.

   The general grass is fine, but if it hits the roots of the old shrubs, it has to be sawed and smashed, and the roots have to be planed out.

   And it is not enough to weed, but also to level the land.

   involves digging out the soil in the high places, carrying the load to the low-lying places and filling it up, and then piling up the ridge, and getting chemical fertilizer or manure to pile it in the field.

When the spring really begins, the soil should be ploughed again, the large pieces of soil should be broken up, the concrete **** and undegraded garbage buried in the soil should be picked up, and then fences should be placed around to prevent some small Animals ran in and gave Huo Huo the seeds in the cornfield.

   The area of ​​Qingquan City is fortunately a plain, and the average survivors can go to a family together, and it is not bad to be able to dig out two or three acres of land in one autumn.

   But it was autumn.

   If it happened to catch up with the cold winter and it snowed just after harvesting the grain in the fields, it would be tormenting.

   Not to mention that the snow has not yet melted, the snow has melted, and the soil in the ground has frozen hard.

   He slammed his head down, leaving only a white mark, as if he had hit a wall. Except for the pain in his hand, he didn't respond at all.

   Therefore, if you want to open up wasteland in winter, it is not enough to use a hoe, you have to use the pickaxe for hammering rocks.

   can be said to be quite real.

at dusk.

   Sitting next to the field ridge, Ye Shi, who was carrying an iron pick and a hoe, said out of breath.

   "Damn, I have to trouble my roommates even with meals, and I have to catch the way to take out the rubbish, and I actually do farm work all day!"

The initial strength of the    perception department is usually 5, and it can reach 7 after awakening, which is equivalent to 140% of the average of normal adult males, and is slightly stronger than the intelligence department.

   However, he was still exhausted.

  The fatigue debuff has already appeared on the VM, and both hands and legs are like lead.

   If it is in reality, I am afraid it is not as simple as being tired, 80% of the muscles have already started to hurt!

   But on the contrary, this day is not without harvest.

   He worked a full mu of land by himself, and his proficiency in farming skills rose to two levels, and he was one level away from unlocking the first achievement under farming skills.

   Carrying the **** on his shoulders, Old Bai, who was also exhausted, took a breath and said.

   "I've done it before, but I've never used such a primitive tool."

   He is probably the most capable of the cattle and horse team, and he has worked three acres of land by himself.

   This is basically five times the work efficiency of refugees!

   Ye Shi looked at him curiously and asked.

   "By the way, Lao Bai, what exactly do you do in reality? How come you can burn bricks and charcoal, and do farm work?"

   Lao Bai smiled and said.

"Why don't I tell you, my hometown is in the country, and I occasionally helped my family with homework when I was a child. It has nothing to do with now, there are not many people in my hometown, and I almost forgot about it, but I still experience it occasionally. I miss it."

  Ye Shi oh oh oh twice, nodding as if he didn't understand.

   He grew up in the city, but he didn't know much about it.

   Gu Feng, who was sitting next to him, wiped his sweat, glanced at the fruits of his labor in front of him, squinted his eyes and said.

   "It can't go on like this. I'm afraid it won't be finished until the year of the monkey, the horse and the month... We must improve the tools."

   Fang Chang nodded in agreement.

   "Indeed, sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters. If you keep gnawing 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 Gu Feng looked at each other, the latter nodded and said.

   "Wait for another three days. I have a friend who has just qualified for the beta test, so he should be able to help a little."

   Ye Shi asked curiously.

   "Who? Male or female? What kind of friend?"

  The wind is too lazy to care about this guy.

  After a pause, he continued.

   "Professor Wang from the Engineering College next door, in the direction of mechanical engineering and automation."

   "In terms of application knowledge, he knows more than I do."

   It has been two days since the new expansion was launched.

   There are currently 800 players in the full server, and at least two-thirds of them are involved in the wasteland reclamation work.

   And the remaining one-third of the players, even if they are not interested in "100% real farming", they don't want to brush their farming skill proficiency, but they still indirectly support the land reclamation work in other forms.

   For example, Steel 81.

   In just two days, 500 sets of steel structural parts for agricultural implements were produced by means of mold casting.

After the small workshops in the industrial area rushed into production, and installed wooden handles for hoes, pickaxes and other tools, the first batch of tools was quickly sent to the front line, and those inefficient and poor quality wooden tools and stone tools were replaced. .

   Another example is that WC really has mosquitoes.

   Mosquito dude has done another great job this time.

   He changed the Hell Breath a little, increased the output power of the Guotuo machine, and got a simple tractor out.

   Not only can he transport goods, but he also has a harrow behind the tractor for plowing.

   This thing can help a lot.

   But Mosquito is not very kind. Seeing that no one buys one at a price of 2,000 silver coins, he immediately started a leasing business.

   The rent is 10 silver coins for 1 hour, and 50 silver coins for one day.

  The players yelled at this, but in order to improve the efficiency, they still took the risk and paid for it.

   The No. 81 Iron and Steel Plant next to it saw that the money was so good, so it immediately started a copy, and also made a prototype, and said that it only cost 40 silver coins to rent a day.

  Chu Guang ordered 10 units from the two units, each asking for 2,000 silver coins, and asked for delivery before the end of the month.

  After completing the order, you can also get 5000 regional reputation of Long-term Farm and 500 contribution points.

   In the face of 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.

   Such as killing mutant wild boars, destroying hyena dens, building fences, etc.

  The evening of the second day after the expansion was launched.

  The entrance of Changchang Farmhouse warehouse.

   Facing Chu Guang, who came to inspect the work, Luca reported to him the progress of the land reclamation work with excitement.

   "Sir, in the past 48 hours, your residents have reclaimed 1,000 acres of wasteland!"

   "At this rate, we will be able to complete the target of 10,000 mu of wasteland in at most 15 days before the end of the month!"

   When he said this, there was incredible joy on Luca's face.

Originally, he thought that the residents of the shelter could not adapt to such high-intensity labor, but he did not expect that they were far more capable than he imagined. In just two days, he completed one-tenth of the expected goal. .

  According to the plan of the manager, the first batch of arable land in the planning is 30,000 mu.

   Among them, 10,000 acres 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 wasteland reclamation work may even be over-completed!

  Although the seeds have not been planted, he seems to have seen the golden and full granary!

  Chu Guang was not surprised by what Luca reported.

   The main reason is that he has never worked in the fields, so he does not know how difficult it is to open up wasteland.

   "1000 mu... Calculated by 600 people, that is 0.8 mu per person per day on average?"

   touched his chin, Chu Guang thought for a moment and said.

   "Is this fast or slow?"

   "Sir, this speed is already very fast!"

   Listening to the words of the manager Versailles, the old Luca couldn't help sweating and explained.

   "Cultivation of wasteland is different from farming. The workload is very heavy, especially now that the snow has not completely melted, and the snow has to be dug out of the ground first."

   "Wait until the middle of the month or even the end of the month, our progress will be faster!"

  Chu Guang nodded and said with relief.

   "Thank you for your hard work!"

   Hearing the manager's commendation, Old Luca's face flashed a proud red light and said respectfully.

   "I don't have much trouble, but your residents, they are really capable."

   "By the way, now that the blizzard has stopped, those refugees who were placed in the abandoned department store can also gradually move back to the farm. We can't keep them in vain all the time."

  Chu Guang nodded and said.

   "Well, after a whole winter of repairs, it's time to find something for them to do."

   After inspecting the spring ploughing work, Chu Guang walked around the warehouse and was about to go to the guards to see the training of the recruits.

   But at this moment, he suddenly received a communication request from the outpost.

  The communication is connected.

   Before Chu Guang asked what was the matter, Liu Ding's voice came from the earphone.

   "Sir, a caravan has come to the south of the wetland park, and they are now parked at the south gate 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 from Boulder City?"

   "Yes..." Liu Ding said cautiously, "The owner of this caravan is named Liszt. He claims to have had a relationship with you 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.

   can be regarded as waiting for you!

  Chu Guang has not forgotten the oath he made at the beginning.

  Wait for this guy to come here next time.

   must slaughter him once!

   A happy smile appeared on his face, and Chu Guang continued to speak with a pleasant face.

   "Listen, that's my old friend."

   "Quickly invite him to the reception room to entertain him, and prepare tea and something."

   "Tell him I'll be there in a minute!"
