This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 239 The method of taming alien species and preparations for spring farming!

   It has been three full days since I planned to draw a pie about the "pet system" on the forum.

   Up to now, apart from hundreds of articles about raising pets on the forum, no player has successfully tamed the alien species in the wasteland.

   However, it cannot be said that there is no gain at all.

   At least during this time, Chu Guang had seen many new varieties that he had never seen before at the market at the north gate...

   On the square in front of the sanatorium.

   Looking at Commander Quan Shui who came back from outside, he was leading the construction team to stay under the knife, smiling and teasing.

   "Brother Quan Shui, have you caught the dead claw?"

Recently, the outpost has been under construction, and the entire north of the resurrection point has become a large construction site. On the one hand, many players have been promoted to intermediate citizens, and the area of ​​land allowed to purchase has been expanded to 50 square meters. On the other hand, more and more NPCs are in Settle nearby.

   As the chief architect of Wasteland OL, his construction skill proficiency has reached level 6!

  It is said that reaching level 10 can unlock achievements, and the first skill proficiency level can be entered into the Hall of Fame, but starting from level 5, it becomes more and more difficult to upgrade.

   Commander Quan Shui hadn't opened his mouth, when the Battlefield Atmosphere Team beside him scolded.

   "Caught a chicken, walked around all day, and hit six dogs! Killed a bunch of cockroaches and blood-sucking worms, but I didn't see a single death claw!"

   Izumi Commander also sighed.

   "It's too hard to find."

   "I clearly followed the official guide and touched several landmarks on the map that might have death claws. As a result, I found a bunch of strange things, but the death claws couldn't be found!"

  For example, the water treatment station they went to today has a collapsed structure with a depth of 20 meters below the surface. The radiation index is in the medium-threat range.

   However, when they went there, they found that there were only dull-headed gnawing gnats except for some blood-sucking flying insects the size of basins and cockroaches crawling all over the floor.

  Fortunately, due to the high activity of alien species, there are still some recyclable materials there.

   After clearing the alien species there, the silver coins and contribution points rewarded by reporting the resource points were not bad, and they made a small profit.

   Otherwise, you might not even be able to earn the money for the bullets.

  Although Quan Shui and Battlefield Guy looked depressed, I was the darkest next to them, and my face was full of joy.

   "Cool! Hahahaha! I've finally reached level 6!"

   "MMP, it's too hard to upgrade this game!"

the other side.

   In front of the market at the north gate, there was a big circle of people.

   Akiba, who was sitting next to her sister, glanced curiously in the direction of the crowd.

  I saw a big crab lying there, its towering shell covered with dirty sludge and algae leaves.

   At a glance, he recognized what the big guy was, and Akiba's saliva was drooling as he pointed to the other side and said excitedly.

   "Sister! Look over there!"

   Crab Cakes!

   Crab Meat Mashed Potatoes!

   And crab roe noodles!

   In the coming week, there will definitely be a lot of delicious food in the market!

  Looking in the direction his sister pointed, Akica's face was also full of surprise.

   In her cognition, the claw crab is a very dangerous alien species, and even the bravest warriors and hunters in the tribe would not regard it as a hunting target.

   To be able to incorporate such terrifying monsters into a recipe, hunt one by one, these blue jackets are so strong...  

   If only I could bring one back to the village.

   Just when the sisters sighed, they didn't know that these little players actually didn't want to kill this thing at all.

   Instead, he intends to catch it as a pet.

  It's just a pity that this crab is too hard to deal with!

   Like most arthropods, when awake, it can maintain a strong will to fight until its life is completely ended.

  Even if its legs were blown off and its shell was entangled with devil silk, it still waved its big pliers and attacked those who approached quickly and violently.

   In desperation, in order to reduce the loss, the only way to use an anti-armor wooden handle grenade in the edge of the water was to kill the big guy who was finally found.

   At this moment, standing next to the big crab, paddling the edge of the water and bargaining with tomato scrambled eggs.

   The corpse of a claw crab can be sold for 400 silver, which is the purchase price of the NPC warehouse, which is basically the market guide price or the reserve price.

   In the market at the north gate, if there are other players collecting it, it is normal to go up by 3%~10%.

   Unless it is a particularly sought-after prey, it is difficult to rise above 20%.

  By the way, due to the decline in inventory, the price of the Iron Fist Bazooka has recently risen to 80 silver coins, and it can be stopped when it reaches 100 silver coins.

  Because of Brother Mole's post, which described the weakness of Claw Crab in detail, many gambling dogs have been born in Mengxin recently.

   That is, save 80 silver coins to buy an iron fist bazooka, find the crack claw crab hibernating in the cave, and then give it a shot on the head.

   If it can hit the forehead, or even hit the side of the head, it is more than enough to kill with one blow, and the integrity of the prey can be guaranteed.

   This sounds like a great opportunity to make a fortune.

   But on the contrary, if this shot is missed, or the Claw Crab is accidentally woken up.

   There is also a chance that it will work for several days in vain...

   "...410 silver, I can't get any more, I can't afford it any more expensive." Hearing the 450 silver price quoted from the edge, Scrambled with Tomatoes shook his head and gave his own price.

   Hearing that his price was cut by 40 silver, he couldn't help but paddle on the edge.

   "Hey! You thick-eyed guy, when did you dig like a mosquito!"

   Debt and Big Eyes also echoed Dao.

   "That's right! A crab cake can sell for 2 silver coins! This crab weighs a ton or two at least, so it's okay to get 100 kilograms of crab meat? It's not too much to make 1,000 crab cakes, right?"

   Construction site boy and Brick: "I rely on it, sell it for 2000 silver! A set of exoskeletons! It's too dark, too dark."

  Tomato scrambled eggs rolled his eyes.

   "You don't need to spend money to be Qingmai? You don't need to spend money for seasonings? Do you think people will buy what you make?"

   "And it's not that exaggerated. It's almost the same as getting 90kg of crab meat. Now it's not autumn."

   But there was one sentence he didn't tell the truth.

   Crab cakes are actually quite good.

   After all, not all players will go back to the base for dinner, especially at noon, when most of them settle outside.

   Generally, new players have no money in their pockets. They will bring a piece of wheat cake or jerky before going out, soak it in water and eat it. There are also more hard-core players who choose to eat directly.

   This way of eating has no taste and almost no taste. At most, it can fill the stomach and prevent the debuff from low blood sugar from weakening the combat power.

  The old players with relatively well-off economy will choose to spend an extra silver coin or two to buy some food such as steamed buns, steamed buns, and meat buns, which are convenient and delicious, and have more balanced nutrition. To maintain a healthy body for a long time, you can also get a strong buff bonus of 1~5% attribute improvement.

   Crab cakes, born in the celebration, are also a good choice. Whether it is sandwiched in bread or eaten directly, it can provide a lot of calories, and the taste is quite good.

  Even an awakened person who is a per capita rice bucket, two 200g crab cakes are basically full. Power-based players may have a larger appetite, but basically three biscuits can be fed.

   In the end, the big crab was sold for 420 silver coins.

   The four people on the edge of the water got one point, and each got 105 silver coins. Even if the ammunition was deducted, the income was still considerable.

  Tomato scrambled eggs was not idle either. He took tongs, hammers and steel nails, ready to start construction on the crab shell and get the crab meat off.

   Some professional gamers and natives squatted aside and watched curiously, preparing to pick some crab shells in good shape and buy them back for one or two silver coins to use as armor.

  A piece of crab shell as thick as a thumb can block three 7mm bullets at a distance of 100m.

  If you break the wrapping with devil silk, make small pieces of lining and stuff it into the clothes, it can even produce the effect of composite bulletproof plate!

   This unique equipment is also unique to the wasteland.

   At this moment, Brother Mosquito suddenly came over, grabbed the tomato scrambled eggs that were handling the Crab Claw and asked.

   "Brother, is your crab shell still useful?"

  Tomato scrambled eggs for a moment.

   "Crab shells? Useless... What do you want these things for?"

   Mosquitoes laughed.

   "Of course I have a little use, how about selling it to me for 10 silver coins?"

  Tomato scrambled eggs rolled his eyes.

   "Fuck off, at least 50 silver coins, don't even think about it."

   Mosquito: "Hey! You can't use it!"

  Tomato scrambled eggs said angrily: "Can I sell it to others? Go and ask the people around you to see if anyone wants it."

   Didn't find it cheap, Mosquito looked regretful, but finally paid for it.

When the players around    saw this, they immediately realized that their materials were cut off by mosquitoes, and they scattered cursingly.

   Only the natives were still there, not knowing what was going on.

   "Let's talk about it first, don't break the front shells, these shells are all mine now."

   Looking at the mosquito with a sore face, Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes said with a smile.

   "Don't worry, you know my skills. But then again, what's the use of you wanting so many crab shells? Even if this thing is strong enough... it's not good for steel, right?"

"You don't understand this," Mosquito said with a smile, "How expensive is steel, and a ton of steel costs thousands of silver coins! The strength of this crab shell is not much worse than that of steel, the only disadvantage is that it is heavier, but the problem is not Big!"

"This natural composite material has proven defense against light weapons! I plan to install an engine for it to drive a few robotic legs, a gun barrel on the front, and a machine gun on the back, which is no better than being alive. How many cracked claw crabs are there?"

   Hearing these words, Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes was stunned on the spot, looking at the mosquitoes in surprise.

   "Fuck... you're too punished, aren't you?"

   Mosquito smiled and said humbly.

"low profile."

  …

  While the players were pondering how to make the most of the untamed aliens, their dearest planners were also trying to figure out a way for them.

   Niu Ma Brick Factory.

  Chu Guang, through the foreman Yang Ergou here, quickly found the gray wolf who had been captured earlier.

   This guy voluntarily surrendered, and explained the information of the Lion's Tooth Thousand Team, and won leniency. Although the punishment and hard labor cannot be exempted, the work of playing in the mud is a little easier.

When    was called by Chu Guang originally, Gray Wolf was still a little nervous.

   After all, the body of the black snake is still hanging at the north gate.

  Although he was not a subordinate of Black Snake, he was still panicking.

   However, after hearing the intention of Chu Guang, Gray Wolf was slightly relieved.

   At least I am somewhat useful to these people.

   should not be the same as the black snake...

   "For alien species like hyenas and wolves, it is difficult to remove their wildness through normal domestication methods. To tame them completely, you have to start from pups."

  Chu Guang thought for a moment and asked.

   "How long does it take for a mutant hyena to grow up?"

   Grey Wolf replied.

   "A year and a half, or two years."

   It will take a year and a half at the earliest...

   is a bit faster than Legion's clones, but it's been too long.

   And a simple hyena, it is difficult to form an effective fighting force, it is stronger than mutant mice and cockroaches, or bullying brainless predators.

   The mutant snow wolf is slightly stronger, but the average combat power is only at the level of LV3, and a few individuals can reach LV5 strength, which is also a leader.

   It took two years and a lot of food and energy to cultivate a LV3 combat power, which is really not cost-effective from the perspective of cost.

  A pet is really a pet.

  It is still a bit difficult to be a pet.

  Chu Guang continued to ask.

   "Is there any way to domesticate an adult hyena or a wolf?"

  The expression on the gray wolf's face was a little embarrassed, and he nodded reluctantly.

   "There are, but it's not easy... and it's hard to make them work if you can't eliminate the wild."

   "It doesn't matter, as long as there is a way."

   After saying that, Chu Guang threw him a VM. There was no task release function on it, only the recording function was unlocked.

   "You have written down the methods and experience of domesticating and raising wild animals. If you can use it, your sentence can be reduced."

  Grey Wolf said with a happy expression.

   "Don't worry, my lord! I'll tell you everything I know!"

  Chu Guang nodded.

   "Better so."

   Later, he will ask Xiaoqi to organize the contents of the recording into notes and update the database on the official website, which should provide some reference for his little players.

   In fact, compared to hyenas and wolves, he expects his little players to tame some more powerful aliens.

  Chu Guang believes that as long as they are given enough time, with their ingenuity and brains, there must be a way to do it.

  …

  A week has passed since Operation "Spring Thunder", the sunny days in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City are still continuing, and the last heavy snow seems to have happened two weeks ago.

   Yesterday I was able to avoid the snow that covered my knees, but today I can only just bury my calves.

  Everyone can feel that the cold winter is fading.

   Frozen life is being revived.

   Yet the threat from the north has not been lifted.

  For the upcoming battle, both players and survivors in the northern suburbs are taking the time to actively prepare for the battle.

   However, as a manager, Chu Guang is not only considering military issues at this moment.

   And next year's food production.

  More and more facts and arguments have proved that players after awakening are not only powerful in combat, but also have an amazing appetite.

   In fact, not only after awakening, the food consumed by the players was 1.5~2 times that of the aborigines. With the increase of level, it can even reach an astonishing 3 times after reaching LV10.

  Chu Guang didn't know what to complain for a while, whether the aborigines were too poor, or his players were too good.

   If it wasn't for the black snake sending a wave of express delivery, the surplus grain in the warehouse might not be able to last until the corn at the greenhouse site matures by the end of next month.

   In order to recruit more players into the game.

   Reclamation of the wasteland north of Linghu Lake must be put on the agenda as soon as possible!

  In the conference room of Changchang Farm, Luca came to Chu Guang, who came to inspect the work, and reported the work meticulously.

   "My lord, the spring ploughing is about to begin. Although we have enough rifles, we cannot plough the land with bayonets and butts."

"Those slaves... I mean prisoners of war, although they can take on the harshest wasteland work, they are too inefficient with sticks and hand planing. Even if they are exhausted in the fields, it is impossible to complete the production. Task."

   "We need at least 1,200 sets of farm implements, including hoes, rakes, shovels, and a part of the sowing trolleys, as well as transport tools such as trolleys. Since we don't have enough livestock, we're afraid we have to use manpower instead."

  Chu Guang thought for a moment and asked.

   "How much do we have in stock?"

   Luca said with a wry smile.

"Sir, we don't have any inventory... The entire industrial area is producing arms. The only 120 sets of tools were brought from the highway town and other survivors' settlements, but the quality of their tools is very high. Poor, less than half of the iron."

   Hearing the helplessness in Luka's tone, Chu Guang was slightly embarrassed.

  The external survival pressure is there, he admits that he has indeed fought a little bit some time ago, but this is also impossible.

   Besides, this is not a bad thing.

  The military industry has driven the steel production capacity, and the steel production capacity has increased. Isn’t it easy to build a few farm tools?

"I will find a way to do this," Chu Guang thought about it for a moment and promised, "I will try my best to make up 300 sets of tools needed for land reclamation within a week, and try to close all the gaps by the end of the month. Fill in. What about our neighbors? Is there a way to borrow some from them?"

   Luca thought about it and said.

   "Brown Farm should have it, but I'm afraid it's not enough. In my impression, they have less than 400 acres of arable land, even if indoor planting area is included."

  400 acres...

  Chu Guang shook his head.

   "Too little."

  The area from the northern part of Linghu Lake to the forest in Yumu District has more than 100 square kilometers of wasteland, which translates to 150,000 mu.

  400 acres is enough to stuff a gap between your teeth.

   In Chuguang's plan, the first phase of the planned area of ​​arable land is 30,000 mu, to ensure that it can support at least 30,000 people, and to produce part of the cash crops to supply the plant fibers, oil, rubber and other raw materials needed by the industrial area.

   It’s not just tool shortages.

  Manpower is also a big problem.

  In the absence of automated equipment, manpower can only be used to stack. It is roughly estimated that at least 1,000 to 3,000 manpower will be mobilized to reclaim the 30,000 mu of land.

   There are about 700 prisoners of war currently available.

There are currently more than 1,500 people in    refugee camps, but only 50% of the labor force is young and middle-aged, and some of them have been absorbed by the industrial area.

   The reason why the rifles and bullets in the hands of players can be sold so cheaply is inseparable from the sweat of these people on the assembly line.

   Children under the age of 12 are not useful, and even if women and elderly people who can work are put into production, it is estimated that 400 to 500 people can be assembled.

   After pondering for a moment, Chu Guang thought to himself.

   "You can assign part of the production tasks to players who like farming, and design a unique farming professional gameplay."

   “Apply for more land if it works well.”

   But farming is a technical job.

   And it takes patience.

   Farming in "Wasteland OL" is very different from the penguin farm.

Growing and harvesting vegetables is not just a matter of two clicks of the mouse. Not only do the seeds have to be sown, but also regular watering, fertilization, pest control, expelling the unique alien species on the wasteland, and preventing extreme weather on the wasteland. .

  The climate in the wasteland is not as smooth as it is in reality.

   Even in the less radioactive suburbs, two clouds of unusual color occasionally drifted across the sky. It's fine when it's not raining, but it's going to be bad when it rains...

   After listening to Luca's report, Chu Guang continued to look at the wrench waiting aside. Judging from the expression on his face, there should be good news to tell himself.

   Without waiting for the manager to ask, Wrench saw that Luka was finally finished, and immediately stepped forward and took the initiative to speak.

   "Sir, I also have something important to report to you here!"

"Say."

   Controlling the joy in his heart, Wrench said excitedly.

   "The looters stationed in Yuanxi Town have withdrawn!"

   Withdrawn?

  Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed.

  Fuck!

   Let these dogs run away!
