This Game Is Too Realistic
Chapter 29: Wasteland Life Starts from Moving BricksFrom the moment he spoke, all players closed their mouths and stared at him with bated breaths, for fear of missing any details.
Chu Guang was very satisfied with the players' reaction. He raised his head and glanced around the hall.
But when he saw the lizard man standing in the corner, his expression went stiff for two seconds, and his hand almost touched the gun on his back.
‘Why are there mutants here? ? ?'
‘But……'
‘From his stupid expression, this lizard man should be a player under this skin.'
‘Then there is nothing to worry about.'
Whether it was combat experience or panel data, these newbies were no match for him. Chu Guang may be worried about the survivors ambushing in the shadows, but he was really not afraid of these players making trouble.
It would only take less than a second to kick, ban, and confiscate the test qualification.
After deciding to study the lizardman later, Chu Guang took his gaze away from it, looked at the players in the hall, and continued.
"First of all, I have good news to tell you—the war is over."
"Bad news is, our world has changed beyond recognition. If you expect to go home with your luggage and find your mother right away, it'd obviously be impossible."
"This year marks the 200th anniversary after the doomsday. Fortunately, we have successfully survived the most difficult years. To be able to stand here today, you are already more fortunate than 12 billion people. I now need you to recognize the status quo as soon as possible, and then fulfill your declaration under the banner of the Federation of People: Rebuild our homeland!"
"The one next to me is my assistant. It's called Little Seven. You can ask it any questions about the shelter or other things you don't understand."
He repeated the opening speech that he had said once before.
When the next batch of players arrived, he would say it again, if there were no serious bugs or plot loopholes, he did not plan to change it.
After all, it was hard to make things up.
After a pause, Chu Guang continued.
"In addition, the shelter Resident Handbook has been updated to version 2.0, which includes the residents' convention, code of conduct and requirements for public order, good customs, and prohibitions. Please check it out in time."
"For residents who violate the regulations, they will be forced to stay dormant or confined. For serious violations, the offenders will be sent back and permanently banned from arriving on the surface. We hope that everyone will strictly abide by it."
There was a commotion among the players.
Wasn't the power of this NPC a bit too much?
However, everyone did not have a particularly big reaction to this.
Since they had chosen to be the close beta tester, it meant that they had accepted the game settings.
Before logging into the game, they had already seen "Resident Handbook" on the official website, and there was no strict content on it.
And the new clauses only restricted behaviors such as "PK between players," "harassing other players," "improper transactions," and "malicious destruction of in-game facilities."
These terms were in line with the interests of most "normal" players, and some terms were even discussed by the players themselves in the forum and were added after being adopted by the game designer.
For example, There_will_be_ample_time and Old White proposed "no malicious destruction of in-game facilities," and a female player who had not yet obtained the test qualification proposed "no rape."
These opinions were quite good.
After all, this was a sandbox game, not a nuclear bomb simulator or some R18 game.
Even if it was a game that advertised freedom and the concept of sandbox, it was impossible to allow a player to unscrupulously disrupt the gaming experience of other players.
In addition to adopting these suggestions, Chu Guang also made more detailed regulations on these rules.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFor example, malicious destruction of facilities would be punished with "compulsory labor," and sexually harassing other players would result in getting kicked out of the game.
It is very considerate.
'What?
Can't accept it?
Then go back to playing CrossFire quickly and give the helmet to those who need it.'
After explaining the matters needing attention, Chu Guang left the shelter with 24 players and took the elevator to the surface in two batches.
The oncoming visual impact shocked these new players.
It was not even just visual.
Hearing, smell, touch and even taste; every cell in their bodies told them that this was a completely real world!
"This is incredible……"
"Is this... really the game world?"
"Wow, it just blew my mind!"
"This is awesome!!!"
Looking at the excited players, Chu Guang's mouth also curled up with a smile.
He really wanted to tell them that it was too early to get excited.
...
Chu Guang first took these new players to familiarize themselves with the outpost facilities, especially reminding them that it was forbidden to urinate and defecate near the outpost. Then he took them all back to the nursing home and handed them to Old White and the other players from the first batch.
The construction site of the outpost was indeed for people. There was no need to worry about these players having nothing to do. Old players would tell them what to do.
Some people were called to move bricks and repair the walls.
Some people were taken by Ample Time to the construction site in the northeast of the wetland park to carry the raw materials for producing cement.
As for remuneration.
It was 10 contribution points per hour.
Although it was not clear what the contribution points were for, the players were very motivated and couldn't wait to start working immediately.
During the testing phase, there were so many things to do.
Developers had said that they would not delete their in-game data, so they just needed to do the missions.
The energetic spirit of these players made Chu Guang a little embarrassed.
Of course, not all players were arranged to work on the construction site. Making bacon, tanning fur, fishing, hunting, and gathering were all tasks that needed to be completed by people as well.
For example, the female player with a height of 1.8 meters and an ID called [Ya Ya] was assigned the work of gathering.
Her genetic sequence was the perception type. Although the initial value of the primary attribute (perception) was 6, which was 1 point lower than Night Ten, her talent panel had an additional initial talent—"Toxin Intuition."
According to the system's explanation of this talent in the player list, players who had this talent could rely solely on biological instincts to perceive toxicity, without needing knowledge and experience.
In contrast, before gaining "Toxin Resistance," the "Poisoning Effect" itself would have more negative effects on her.
In addition, the positive buff effect of this talent was affected by perception attributes.
It was only appropriate for her to be a gatherer.
In addition, there was the lizardman.
After arranging the work of the gatherer, Chu Guang called this player aside.
"Are you Garbage_pickup_level_99?"
‘What kind of trolling name is this!'
Seeing the Administrator talking to himself, Mr. Garbage thought he had triggered the hidden plot, so he stood upright and nodded excitedly.
"Yes, I am!"
Chu Guang nodded and was about to arrange his work. But then Mr. Garbage suddenly thought of something, and took the initiative to hand out a note.
"Dear administrator, I found this note when I woke up. I can't understand the text on it. Can you tell me what is written on it?"
"Let me see." Chu Guang took the note from him.
The strip of paper was a little wet as if it had been soaked in water, but it seemed to be a waterproof material; he could still read the words on it.
He was familiar with the writing of the letters on the note, and they were written in the words of this world. Chu Guang immediately knew who left this thing.
"Where did you get it?"
"My ass."
Chu Guang's hand shook, almost dropping the paper.
Seeing the Administrator's darkened face, Mr. Garbage immediately guessed something and quickly explained it.
"I mean it was in the culture chamber. When I woke up, it stuck on my buttock."
"Okay."
Chu Guang continued to look at the content on the note.
[Congratulations, you won the lottery! This is the easter egg I left for you! The genetic sequences stored in the gene bank are not all human genes, and there are also a small number of special genetic sequences. To tell you the truth, it was me who did it. Although there are unexpected elements, I don't intend to admit my mistake. What can I say? Don't you think this is also part of natural selection? ]
[Speaking of which, should we call it a special genetic sequence or a mutant? Sigh, forget it, it doesn't matter what you call it, you can decide for yourself. ]
[——The first administrator. ]
‘This guy must be crazy.'
Chu Guang was speechless. He was too lazy to complain.
He opened the system interface, and confirmed the five data and talent of the lizardman in front of him through the player list.
Just like this guy's tall and burly physique, his strength and physique were incredible. If he hadn't used the system reward, his strength would have even caught up with him, who was at LV5.
He also had two talents, Physical Regeneration and Cold Blood, which were simply great weapons in actual combat!
Although there were debuffs, such as having difficulty leveling up and in acclimating to low temperatures, and ineptitude in operating complex machinery, they were not fatal flaws.
In other words, there was no major problem.
Chu Guang was already thinking about whether to give this guy a set of steel claws.
Maybe a tank was not a bad option either.
Being stared at by the Administrator with scrutinizing eyes, [Garbage_pickup_level_99] felt very nervous.
Fortunately, this NPC did not stare at him for too long, and soon handed him a mission different from other players.
"From today, you will hunt with me."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChu Guang decided not to worry about weapons.
These players were not necessarily more stupid than him, it was better to let them study the gameplay by themselves.
Mr. Garbage clenched his fists excitedly, and said enthusiastically, in a high voice,
"I'm happy to help you! Dear administrator!"
"Very good, very brave."
Chu Guang nodded approvingly, then looked at him and continued,
"You go to the nursing home and wait for me first."
"I still have something to arrange. I'll be there soon."
"Yes!"
Mr. Garbage skipped away spiritedly.
Chu Guang then looked at another female player waiting anxiously.
Her ID was Teng Teng, the genetic sequence belonged to the intelligence type. She looked a little petite and was about 1.5 meters tall.
The gene expression was inherently unstable. Even if the design was perfect, there would inevitably be inaccuracies, so there was nothing Chu Guang could do.
However, not all bad things happened to her.
Like that Ya Ya, she also had a very special initial talent "Ingenuity" in her talent panel.
[Talent: Ingenuity (stronger muscle memory, faster accumulation of proficiency for repetitive tasks)]
If he remembered correctly, her career in reality seemed to be a fashion designer?
If it was true, then this talent was simply tailored for her.
"Do you know how to make clothes?"
Facing the administrator's inquiry, Teng Teng nodded nervously.
"Yes! If there are materials and tools… I can try to make them."
Although her job was in design and mainly worked using computers, her hands-on skills were not completely absent, and she was still much better than ordinary people.
"Material is not a problem, but the tool… we may have to find a way… You can come with me first."
With that said, Chu Guang took her to the backyard of the nursing home and pointed to the rows of coarse furs that were hung on the wooden shelves to dry.
"Is this enough?"
Looking at the rows of fur on the wooden shelf, Teng Teng's eyes widened in shock.
Although she was not sure what animal the fur was peeled from, the texture and luster of the hair showed that they were not low-quality materials.
"This, these... are they all mine?" Teng Teng's eyes sparkled.
Chu Guang bobbed his head in answer and said,
"Mhm, if you can, you can also start with the fur processing. The leather on the shelf is handled by our chef. He doesn't understand this."
"Mhm Mhm! Don't worry! Leave it to me," Teng Teng nodded vigorously. "Are there any requirements? In terms of styling?" she continued excitedly.
Chu Guang: "There is no requirement for styling, just keep warm... Do you have any tools you need? Sewing machines may be a bit difficult to make, but there are still some basic tools such as sewing scissors."
Teng_teng: "Although it is better to have a sewing machine if the requirement is just to keep warm... these are enough!"
Good!
He liked players who were diligent in doing things.
Chu Guang nodded approvingly.
"Then I will leave them to you. I should be able to get some more games in the next few days... I plan to walk along the viaduct out of the city and then to the north. I heard that there are migrating deer herds. If we are lucky, we should be able to gain a lot!"
