This Game is Too Real Chapter 300

  Chapter 300 Northern Expedition Plan

   Demeter left with someone.

   The group continued northward, heading towards Xizhou City.

   watched the warriors wearing jet-black exoskeletons go away, and the man hiding among the refugees breathed a sigh of relief and drew his hand back from the worn-out cloak.

   It's never a good thing to meet strangers in the wasteland, and sometimes the fuse of conflict may just be a look.

   In most cases, both parties will consciously avoid each other. But if one of them stops, or even takes the initiative to approach...

   It's hard to say what will happen.

   Especially he felt a murderous aura from those people.

   They seem to have just suffered a defeat, and even just a moment ago, they had the idea of ​​venting their anger.

   The leader of the refugee team clearly realized this, and after the uninvited guests left, he immediately walked in front of the team and shouted.

   "Dawn City is just ahead!"

   "There's a shelter from the wind and rain, a warm bed... and hot water and food. Just hold on, we have to hurry up and try to get there before dark."

   The unkempt man muttered softly.

   "Will they give us their own food?"

   The woman carrying the child had a sad face.

   "How long do we have to go..."

   Facing the pair of eyes, the leader was silent for a while and said.

   "They promised on the radio."

   "Anyway, we have to give it a try."

   Vault 404.

   took a shower and returned to the single room. Ye Shi, who was lying back in the training cabin, closed the hatch and logged out of the game skillfully.

   When he opened his eyes again and took off his helmet, what he saw was the ceiling of the bedroom.

   The whole process was like blinking an eye.

   Now, his "ID" is Ye Wei, not the strongest perception player in "Wasteland OL", but an ordinary student studying at Jiangcheng University.

  Under the snoring chorus of the roommates, Ye Wei sat up from the bed, turned over and got out of bed, and after washing quickly, he stuffed the textbook into the satchel.

   There will be another morning class in a while.

   Even if he decides to pursue a career, he does not intend to give up his studies completely.

   After all, he is still a famous school, and he managed to get into it. He still intends to explain his efforts.

   After playing "Wasteland OL" for so long, Ye Wei has long been accustomed to the switching of role identities between reality and virtuality.

   When he passed by the window before, he would take another look suspiciously, but now he can only feel that peace is good.

   "Awei, help take a seat."

   A drowsy voice came from above his head, Ye Wei looked up and saw that Brother Liu was actually awake, and was surprised.

   "Huh? Brother Liu woke up so early."

   "Nima... This faucet is throbbing like a machine gun, can I stay awake?" Brother Liu, who was lying on the bed, yawned and turned over, "I can't do it anymore, I have to sleep for a while."

  Others are still snoring and sleeping soundly.

   Ye Wei, who put on his shoes, said helplessly.

   "I can't do anything if there are air bubbles in the water pipe. I'm driving very low... If you want me to say, if your sleep quality is poor, you might as well make an appointment with me. At least it can help you get a good night's sleep, and it doesn't cost you money anyway."

   Brother Liu who was lying on the bed shivered like PTSD, shook his head and said.

   "No, no, dear brother, I really don't have that wisdom root, so I can't practice your magic."

"Ha ha!"

   Do not believe it!

   Ye Wei stopped talking nonsense, picked up three books from the table of his roommates and stuffed them into his satchel, and then went out to the cafeteria.

   All day classes during the day.

  I have to "go a long way" at night.

  Ye Wei and Fang Chang made an appointment. Everyone together collected 40,000 silver coins, purchased some specialties of Dawn City, and transported them to Boulder City to exchange for chips.

  No. 81 Steel Factory and Goblin Technology entrusted them to help purchase second-hand equipment at the same time, and are willing to settle with silver coins at the exchange rate of 3 silver coins per chip.

  This exchange rate includes 50% shipping fee.

The specific operation method is that the cattle and horse teams first go to Boulder City, and then get the bidding list for the next day from the auction house, take a photo and then go offline and send it to the private chat window of the forum. How much is the transaction price in my heart, and how to shoot specifically.

   This time, it is conservatively estimated that there will be more than double the profit.

  Thinking of this, Ye Wei, who has been drinking two pieces of plain soy milk, replaced it with black sesame seeds for three yuan, and two vegetarian buns for three yuan were replaced with three pieces of sauce pork buns.

   One mouthful is full of fragrance.

   So cool!

  Eating while walking, Ye Wei thought for a while and went to the classroom to take a look at the forum, when the phone in his pocket vibrated.

   took a look and saw that the message was sent by the old girl.

   Jiujiu: "Brother, is that the game you played?"

   Jiujiu: "[Link]"

  The bun and the phone almost fell to the ground together, Ye Wei hurriedly freed his hand and typed back.

   "Where did you get the link???"

   Jiujiu: "In the group. 0, 0"

  Ye Shi: "Hurry back, children don't play."

   Jiujiu: "You are only a child! I am an adult! (angry

   Ye Wei secretly thought in his heart, and his words seemed to have the opposite effect.

   This guy is absolutely forced to go and fill out the form!

   Ye Wei panicked when he thought of his ID.

   Did this Nima die on the spot?

   "Jiujiu, cough, you heard from my brother, this game is too deep, you can't control it, and it is extremely unfriendly to Mengxin, you still focus on learning."

   Jiujiu: "Oh."

  Ye Wei: "..."

   Ye Wei scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.

  Or...

   Brother Qiuguang, opened the back door and issued a name change card for him?

   But this is not so good.

   Seeing that he was about to arrive at the classroom, Ye Wei took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

calm.

After the   Beta 0.2 version, the number of pre-registered players has skyrocketed. Millions of troops are queuing up to make reservations. With the issuance speed of 30~40 activation codes per day, the possibility of crowding in is very small.

   lined up, she probably gave up.

After    figured this out, Ye Wei finally felt relieved. He found four connected positions in the middle of the classroom and threw the bag there, and then logged on to the official website of "Wasteland OL" with his mobile phone.

   Seven o'clock sharp.

   Brother Guang's update announcement has finally been released.

   But what he didn't expect was that he even sent them a full server announcement.

  【Full Server Announcement: Congratulations to "The Burning Corps" for becoming the first LV2 Corps in the beta test server! (Because the corps commander chose to disclose the achievement, this achievement is included in the Hall of Fame as a group honor)]

Commander    Spring Water: "Damn it! So fast!?"

  The edge of the water: "Open something!"

  Tail: "Hey! The White Bear Knights just arrived in Red River Town! Someone has already LV2!!!!∑(Дノ)ノ"

  Siss: "Awei wake up, we are not a corps, we are a caravan registered in the trade union."

  Tail: "Ow, I'm confused. _(:з"∠)_"

   Fang Chang: "Fuck off, if you play well, you're going to open something? This is called strength! (proud

  Makabazi: "There is no reason, the Corps system is too strong, and the professional players in life are hot, woohoo, please plan a cut!"

  The fleeing mole in the canyon: "Gan! You are hurting others and not yourself!"

  Envy is envy, Mole's Skeleton Corps is approaching LV2, and there are only two missions left. Although I failed to get the Hall of Fame achievement, the budget given by LV2 is still very fragrant.

However--

   Perhaps hearing the voices of life professional players, Gou Planning suddenly released a "Beta 0.21 upgrade patch".

   When he saw the words "Adjustment of the gameplay mechanism of the Corps system", Mole had an ominous premonition in his heart.

  【Adjustment content:

  1. The Corps has added a new attribute interface, the main attributes are "scale" and "logistics". For each level up, the two attributes will grow by 1 point simultaneously, for example, the scale and logistics corresponding to LV2 are both 2.

  2.1 point scale corresponds to 10 [recruitment upper limit], and 1 logistics point corresponds to 10 [logistics points]. The recruitment cap determines the number of players that can be recruited, and logistics points can be used to exchange for ordnance. For example: 1 logistics point can be exchanged for a "leverage set", which contains an LD-47 rifle and 120 rounds of 7mm ammunition. Occupying 2 logistics points can be exchanged for a "support soldier set", which includes an LD-47j light machine gun and 500 rounds of 7mm machine guns.

3. The equipment and ammunition loss of logistics points exchanged will be borne by the new alliance. The weapon is usually kept in the arsenal, and is transported to the front line by the baggage unit during wartime. The quartermaster NPC is responsible for management and deployment. It cannot be used during wartime or for special tasks. "Corps Equipment".

  4. You can get one point per level, which can be freely allocated in "Scale", "Logistics", and can also be consumed to upgrade "Theory".

  5. Doctrine represents the development tendency of the Corps. For example, players who are good at large-scale combat can choose the pioneers of the sea under the "Light Infantry Doctrine" to obtain a "100% scale bonus", and take your teammates as people. You can also choose special operations under this doctrine, get the BUFF of "Light infantry equipment points cost -50%", and take your teammates to fight God.

   Players who are good at blitzkrieg can choose the armored spearhead under the "Mobile Combat Doctrine" to get the buff of "-50% Armor Unit Point Cost". You can also choose a more secure step-tank coordination and give half of the point discount to light weapons.

  The theory of "firepower advantage" is divided into firepower coverage and infantry artillery coordination. It is recommended to leave the skill points to "logistics", and add a few more guns and ammunition boxes. Anyway, you don't need "scale".

  6. The LV2, LV10, and LV20 corps can unlock a doctrine slot respectively. The number of doctrines that each corps can carry is limited, and players can mix and match according to their own needs. But keep in mind that once the Doctrine category has been selected, it is not possible to select exclusive branches under other categories. Whether to charge at the front, or to be a gunner in the rear, you have to choose one.

  Ye Wei read the update announcement from the beginning to the end, and roughly understood the content of this update.

   Simply put, Gou Planning hopes that players will make choices in gameplay and maximize their advantages.

   But that armored spearhead...

   Do they have tanks? ?

   Ye Wei flipped through the official website database with a subtle expression.

  The only armored units in the new alliance are those trucks carrying quadruple anti-aircraft guns.

   Or will there be in the future?

   Of course, these are all trivial matters. After all, it is still in the packaging and testing stage, and it is normal that it has not been developed.

   What really caught Ye Wei's attention was the point system.

   Before the battle, they used bullets before the battle, and after the battle, they used their own bullets. The battle settlement interface gave a 20% profit to compensate the players who lost their equipment.

   And this update has made a change in gameplay mechanics, that is, the separation of personal equipment and corps equipment.

   "... Corps equipment can be exchanged for points, and the new alliance will assign quartermasters to be responsible for the management of the arsenal and replenishment of the inventory."

   "Is this a distinction between personal equipment and corps equipment?"

   In the future, you can no longer use the ammo from the battle to do missions other than the battle.

   A hint of surprise appeared on Ye Wei's face, and he immediately cut to the comment section of the official website.

   Sure enough, everyone was discussing this matter.

  Irena: "Although it has been updated a lot, the conclusion is that the corps is not allowed to do business. (Funny

  Elf King Fugui: "But you can engage in other occupations other than your own, but you can't use public guns and armor. (Funny

   Picking up trash at level 99: "Hahaha, the two are urgent, the brother in front will let one go."

The canyon is fleeing mole rat: "I've read it! It's good to summarize it briefly. This time, there are two key points. One is that the logistics authority is returned to the central government, and the allocation of budget is changed to centralized procurement and unified deployment, and the other is the separation of corps equipment and personal equipment. In the future, the equipment purchased at the supply point will be stored in a designated arsenal, and the quartermaster NPC will supervise and verify it, and it can only be used in certain situations!"

   "The equipment exchanged for points is bound to the corps and cannot be traded. Normal wear and tear will be compensated. Malicious damage will require double compensation, which will be adjudicated by AI."

   Lightning Dharma King Professor Yang: "Damn it! The silver coins are changed to points? The Corps system has been weakened at an epic level! (Frightened

  The canyon is running away Mole: "Actually, it didn't cut it. It's just that there are too many people on the server, which has blocked the loopholes in the rules."

  In the past, the budget was issued, and players could freely use military spending and buy equipment by themselves. It was fine when there were few people, but now that there are many servers, there is inevitably room for power rent-seeking.

  For example, Corps A negotiates with Player B, we ask you to purchase, you give us rebates, and the money slips from military expenses to personal accounts.

   Now that military expenses have been changed to points, procurement, logistics, and weapon maintenance are collectively responsible for the alliance, so there is no problem of making money for themselves with military expenses.

   For those who didn't plan to be clever at the beginning, this change is not a nerf, but because the logistics system is handed over to AI, players can focus more on the front line.

  Professor Yang of Lightning Dharma King: "Damn it! With so many restrictions, ghosts go to play with the Corps system. I'll let you go to the front line directly. Wouldn't it be good for me to run the business by myself?"

   Ye Wei was instantly amused when he saw this sentence, and couldn't help but pick up the words and reply.

   "I blindly guessed your surname Liu. (Funny

  Professor Yang, Lightning Dharma King: "?"

  The fleeing mole rat in the canyon: "Didn't you get the qualification for the beta test? You can't even enter the game. You represent us as a hammer. (funny

  Professor Yang of Thunder and Lightning: "I mean what if! If I were in the game, what would I do! Hey, you European emperors! It's luckier than me, so I'll go in and graduate with full level and equipment!"

   Fang Chang suddenly appeared.

"In wartime, it is the duty of every citizen to fight for the alliance, and giving up the duty is regarded as giving up everything, which includes all the property in the game. Don't always think that you are smart, and don't always think that you can represent others, you There should be something else in my life besides playing tricks, it's really unnecessary to play a game like this. (Squint

The canyon is running away mole rat: "I agree with elder brother Fang, and the adjustment of the gameplay does not affect the income of the corps system. The rewards of the battle are reflected in the settlement interface. Population, resources, land, etc. are all possible. To add a cold knowledge, silver coins It's just one of the currencies of the new alliance, your contribution to the alliance, the alliance remembers it better than you. (funny

  Professor Yang was silent.

   But he still didn't understand.

  Why did this update take away the logistical power of the Corps, these T0 and T1 players did not feel uncomfortable at all.

   Instead, he, a cloud player who doesn't even have the qualifications for the beta test, is "speaking of injustice" for them.

   Don't they want to earn a little more?

  Silver coins can be exchanged for money!

   Ye Wei can probably guess what this guy is thinking, although he doesn't agree. This guy may be a little smart and a little sophisticated, but he's not as good as a student.

   Suppose there is an open loophole in the rules, and someone uses it to make money, you will lose if you don't use it, and you will be eliminated from the competition. Therefore, even if they know that exploiting the loopholes harms the interests of the collective, the individual will inevitably make the most unfavorable choice for the collective out of the "best solution of the individual".

  When everyone is in the prisoner's dilemma, no one will be the real winner, and the final result must be both losers.

For the players in the Alpha round of testing, the new alliance is a utopia they built on a piece of uninhabited wasteland with brick-by-brick efforts. The significance of this game is far more than just a game. Their There are far more than those few silver coins in his eyes.

   Even if there is no reward, they are willing to pick up their rifles and die generously to protect the land under their feet.

   Lose some equipment and experience.

   is better than a server reset.

   Vault 401.

   Master Yin, who had been busy all afternoon, finally replaced the new fuel rods and restarted the reactor in the shelter.

  As the air purification system started to operate, light returned to the shelter, and Chu Guang finally received a notification that the mission was completed.

  【Administrator No. 401 permission has been obtained. 】

"It's done... What are you going to do about the authority of the manager?" Yin Fang looked at Chu Guang, "The manager here is already dead, if they don't set a last word, the default is to follow the serial number from the living ones. Resident inheritance—"

   Just when Yin Fang was giving advice to Chu Guang, Chu Guang stretched out his hand, turned off the light above his head with a single wave, and turned it on again with a single wave.

  Yin Fang was stunned.

   "...When did you get it?"

   "Your reaction was like the first time you saw me using administrator privileges in other shelters, wasn't it the same in Vault 117 before?" Chu Guang gave him a strange look instead.

  Yin Fang's expression was a little weird.

   "Isn't Vault 117 because of the last words of the previous manager... Forget it, it's not an important thing anyway."

   gave up the question of details, Yin Fang followed Chu Guang to the manager's office and recovered the black box there.

   The administrator's office in Vault 401 is completely different from Vault 117.

  The decoration style here is mainly simple, which is more like a laboratory or an archive room than an office.

   As soon as Yin Fang entered the door, he aimed at the silver coffee machine with a square head and a square head on the table. The whole person was pleasantly surprised as if he had discovered a new world, and he embraced it in his arms.

   "Type KW-8241T! I've seen it in a magazine! It's incredible to be here!"

"Magazine?"

  Yin Fang chattered.

"Of course it's a pre-war magazine. Compared with the KW-8241 prototype, this model of coffee machine has 4 more special roasting processes, and the appearance is more preppy style designed for researchers! Look at this sci-fi shape, even a layman can Can't find where the water outlet is! Uh, but it seems to be malfunctioning, but it's not a big problem, it should work if I fix it... Can I take it with me?"

   said, he looked over with a look of hope.

   "...as you like."

  Chu Guang gave this guy a sideways glance.

   Anyway, I don't have a hobby of collecting this thing.

   Take it if you want.

   A coffee machine does not take up much weight. After Chu Guang collected the black box together, he returned to the surface with Yin Fang.

   Shelter has reopened.

   After he goes back, he will arrange for the staff of the logistics department to clean the place and place the newly produced dormant pods in each room.

   Vault 401, which has been reborn, will serve as a new novice village as part of the B round of testing, accommodating at least one thousand new players.

   As for the planting area in the sanctuary, Chuguang intends to use it for breeding, supplying high-quality seeds to the large farmland on the west side of Changchang Farm.

   Sitting on Neeko's back, on the way back to Vault 404, Chu Guang turned on the information transmission function of the power armor helmet, and took a look at the forum.

   The light blue window was projected directly on his retina, Chu Guang picked up a few familiar ID posts and glanced at it.

   For the changes in Beta0.21, players have their own interpretations and opinions.

   However, no matter what their views are, the reform of the Corps system is imperative.

  The new alliance is a united collective that needs united soldiers, not a group of warlords fighting each other.

  Returning the logistical power to the center of the alliance, which is unified and deployed by specialized logistical departments, is the first part of Chuguang's military reform plan.

After   , he will take more measures to ensure the coordination and cooperation between the various corps in the system, and players who choose the corps system can get a better gaming experience.

   What surprised Chu Guang was Commander Quan Shui's post.

  This guy usually rarely writes guides, but this time he wrote a lot of words.

   In addition to a detailed analysis of the various branches of the Corps system, this guy also asserted at the end of the post that the adjustment of the Beta0.21 version is preparing for the new expansion.

   and the content of the expansion pack.

   is probably related to the "Northern Expedition"!

   After reading the post from the beginning to the end, the corner of Chu Guang's mouth twitched into a smile.

   "Pretty clever."

   Although this is obvious.

   The next day.

   North of Dawn City.

   Next to the flat runway of the airport, there is the military camp of the new alliance.

   Currently stationed here are the reorganized 1st and 2nd Corps, as well as the Guard Corps wearing light and heavy exoskeletons.

   Different from the players, these soldiers not only wear uniform uniforms, but also the weapons in their hands are all equipment.

   Standing next to Chu Guang, Vanus looked quite proud.

"how?"

   Looking at the forest of guns and flags on the school field, Chu Guang, who was wearing power armor, nodded approvingly, not stingy with his praise.

"very good!"

   There are 397 soldiers standing here.

   Under the training of the former officers of the legion such as Vanus, their physical fitness and will to fight have undergone tremendous changes from a few months ago.

   Several of them even awakened.

   As a standing corps, the main task of these aboriginal soldiers is defense, but this does not mean that Chu Guang will relax their requirements.

  The threat in the wasteland goes far beyond predators.

   Especially after encountering the torch, Chu Guang realized this more deeply.

  Although the combat effectiveness of the players is strong and has the advantage of "immortality", the construction of the standing corps cannot be relaxed because of this.

   Players cannot be online 24 hours a day.

   There are always things that players can't do.

   And these things can only be done by people in this world.

   After the review is over.

  Chu Guang held a battle meeting while everyone was there.

   In addition to the corps commanders of the 1st and 2nd Corps, the top leaders of the new alliance, including Luca from the logistics department, also participated.

   Without wasting time on the opening remarks, Chu Guang went straight to the topic.

"The torch's armed forces attacked our convoy escorting fuel rods, and the remnants fled north. Although there were only eight men, they were well equipped and well-trained. If they were allowed to join the Bonebite tribe, they would Big trouble for us this fall."

"At present, the war between the Snake Clan and Honghe Town is at a stalemate, and there is no time to deal with us. If I were them, I would most likely choose the Ya Clan, who was resting in Xizhou City, as the support target, instigating them to go south and continue the abrupt battle last year. An end to the battle.”

   "Since this battle is going to be fought sooner or later, it will be fought on their territory."

   All the officers in the barracks had excited expressions on their faces, and clenched their fists involuntarily.

   Especially wrenches.

  In the offensive at the beginning of the year, the guards who held on to Changchang Farm suffered heavy losses, and many of his brothers fell in the battle.

   However, when the cunning villains saw the defeat of the black snake, they turned their tails and fled!

   He has been waiting too long for this moment!

   Looking at his subordinates with high fighting spirit, Chu Guang put his hands on the map and continued speaking in a serious tone.

   "The Northern Expedition will begin next month, with the goal of expelling the Ya clan entrenched in Xizhou City!"

   "Before the Northern Expedition begins, we need to prepare at least 30 planes, 50 trucks, 5 million rounds of ammunition and shells - and lay our railroad to Far Creek!"

   "This war will completely change the situation in the southern valley of the province, and it is not just about our own destiny. I hope that you will overcome all difficulties and do your best to complete the preparations for the war."

   "Since the Great Rift Valley and Boulder City are unwilling to take care of those stinky shit--"

  Chu Guang's right fist landed on the map, his eyes firmly said.

   "Then let's go!"

   (Thanks to the leader of "Shadow of Light" for the reward!!)
