This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 52 This game is for you to understand

   Seven o'clock.

  As players went offline one after another, the official website also became lively.

   It has been 12 hours since the Alpha version 0.3 was launched. Whether it is the prospective players who have made reservations but have not yet obtained the qualifications, or those cloud players who have not made reservations at all, they are all waiting for the first-hand information of the new version.

  Chu Guang gave little sister Xia Yan a meal, then hummed a little song and went back to the computer to sit down, open the forum and start peeking at the screen.

   The first post I saw was Jun Jun's.

  【It's finally confirmed today! The tire factory three kilometers north of the abandoned site is a raider camp! The number of people is probably between 50 and 100! I originally wanted to take a prisoner back, but there were a lot of them. Fortunately, those people were obviously frightened by me. I slapped the dog that bit my arm unconscious, and escaped while they were reloading. 】

  【Damn, that dog almost bit my tail off! The predators encountered this time are far more fierce than the last time! 】

  Chu Guang: "..."

  What is written in this post is different from what I heard half an hour ago.

  Chu Guang remembered that this guy said he didn't take the initiative to provoke those predators? The wounds came from hitting a Marauder patrol on the way back.

   However, according to the statement in the post, it seems that he took the initiative to capture a prisoner.

   This kid is not telling the truth.

  Chu Guang thought for a while, then shook his head.

   Forget it, it doesn’t matter.

   The first posts are usually not very nutritious.

   For the looter camp of Jun Jun, the veterans in the forum have heard him blow for almost three days. As a result, after squatting for three days, he was killed and fled.

  Everyone in the building expressed unacceptable.

  Quitting Smoking: [What the **** is the number between 50 and 100, and how many are there! You, a scout, are not as good as a Teletubbies. 】

  Irena: [I take off my pants and don't fart, eh, just for fun. (funny)】

  Master is so proud of me: [Spicy chicken, less than 100 blame you for persuading a hammer! Can't kite it? Kill one at a time and kill them all over and over again? Bah, what am I talking about, this game doesn't even exist! 】

   All the good names were taken by the dog: [Go! vegetable! 】

  Siss: [You can't beat a little monster with a special job, it's too embarrassing! Why don't you play with me! 】

   Picking up litter level 99: [? ? ? Why do you show me how to move? Grass! Even the mobs can tactically outflank, shoot alternately, and let go of dogs, can you believe it? ! 】

  Quit Smoking: [I think so! You give me your number, and I'll show it to you. 】

   Level 99 Picking Up Trash: [I'm Tender! 】

  The post was completely crooked, and it became a lizard dude who was fighting with Confucianism. It was very similar to the time when Ya Ya who was given for nothing and a group of players were on the line.

   However, no matter how he described the situation at the time, it could not change the fact that he was marked as a dish in the hearts of cloud players.

  Perhaps, only when the camera function is released in the future can he be named.

  Chu Guang is very aware of the combat effectiveness of those plunderers.

   These people may not have strong equipment, physical fitness, and poor discipline like goblins in the fantasy world, but their street fighting talents are almost full.

   After all, since the first year of the Wasteland Era, these people have never stopped fighting. The genes of plunder have long been integrated into their blood and bone marrow, and have been passed down for countless generations.

   After reviewing the beautiful Mandarin in Junk Jun's post, Chu Guang closed the post and continued to browse the forum.

   It has been a while since players went offline, and a lot of high-quality content has begun to emerge.

   What surprised Chu Guang the most was that many new faces he saw for the first time appeared in these high-quality content.

   For example, an ID called "Fugitive Mole in the Canyon".

  Chu Guang took a look at his profile. He was a newcomer who entered the game with Alpha 0.2.

  According to historical speech, it can be judged that he found the official website of Wasteland OL through the link shared by friends because of the urban legend circulating in the single-player game circle.

   To sum it up in one sentence, he is also a guy who is relatively free at night.

   The Mole Express: Hardcore Observations About the New Release! Cloud players and Mengxin please detour! 》

   "Hello everyone, I'm your big-nosed mole. After going online today, I found out that the game has changed a lot. The production team finally cashed out a small piece of the cake he drew. I really love the new version! Good!"

   "Let's talk about the conclusion first: I directly blow up the newly designed economic system this time! Although there are only a few simple supply chains at present, from some details, it is enough to see the ambition of the production team! They are indeed making a big game!"

   "But I won't blow the rainbow fart here, just briefly talk about my findings, which may bring you some help!"

  [Currently, there are two recognized ways to make money with low threshold and high return in the game, one is to burn cement, and the other is to hunt. The former has a stable income and can be operated by a single person, but it needs to be grabbed because there are not many people needed every day. The latter has unstable income, needs equipment, and is almost impossible to farm alone. If you want to go the hunter route, it is best to form a team with perception system! 】

   "Burning cement has no technical content, here we only talk about hunter gameplay!"

   "A 30kg mutant hyena can be sold directly to the granary for 5 silver coins. It takes some time to slaughter and get 12 kg of raw meat, which is instantly worth 40 silver coins, isn't it amazing?"

   "Of course, it's just value! Value! Highlight."

"The granary of the outpost does not accept raw meat, only unprocessed prey and dried meat that can be stored directly. And like other games, there is a price difference in the NPC's store, such as dried meat, it takes 5 silver coins to buy a kilogram, but If you recycle it, you will only give 1 silver coin per kilogram, and asking for five times the price difference is outrageous!"

   "The prey you catch is made into dried meat and sold to NPCs to make more money, but if you buy raw meat from the NPC's store and smoke it yourself, you might even lose money!"

"But it's actually okay. I've seen it even more outrageous in other games. It's nothing. Especially online games, things bought with 1,000 game coins can only be sold for 1 game currency. It's a basic exercise. The clever thing about this game plan is to use the difference between buying and selling items in NPC shops to encourage transactions between players, rather than buying inventory from NPCs."

   "Here is a small idea. The hunting team can find one or two players to cooperate and slaughter the prey by themselves to make dried meat and fur."

"Part of the air-dried meat can be sold to players at a lower price than the granary. One kilogram is cut into ten pieces, and you can sell 1~9 silver coins to see yourself and other players' wallets. It doesn't matter if you can't sell it all, it will be sold to the granary before dark. Get rid of it, and you can make a fortune.”

   "This operation will take a little more time, but the theoretical income of a mutant hyena can at least double, isn't it beautiful?"

"In addition, according to my research, running a business is actually a way of playing, but at present, it is difficult to operate and unprofitable. It takes 5 silver coins to buy a kilogram of bacon in the NPC store and transport it to Brown Farm. It can be exchanged for 5 kilograms of grain (theoretically). The latter is only worth 5 silver coins when it is shipped back to the outpost! And this is the price of the NPC shop!

   "Considering that the current expansion title is "Winter is Coming", it is estimated that the focus of the production team's testing is not on the trade system. I am very much looking forward to the next version, and the production team can focus on developing the trade system."

   "The economic system without exports and only domestic sales is incomplete. Wouldn't it be more interesting to balance the relationship between production and import and export through tariffs and prices? Please think about it for the production team! If the server CPU allows it!"

  Chu Guang read the post and liked it, but did not make any comments.

   is a good idea, but it doesn't make much sense at this stage.

  Keyboard economists often fall into the misunderstanding of idealists. Excessive grand narratives are not helpful to solve the problem at hand.

   From the perspective of planners and players, this opinion on enriching the playability of the game is really good.

   But from the perspective of the administrator of Vault 404, it's a different situation.

   For Chu Guang, everything in the sanctuary, including the players' bodies, is his, why did he let them take their own things and do business with their neighbors?

   Unless they can do better than themselves.

   But this is obviously impossible.

   Even Chu Guang himself was often ostracized and suspected by some scavengers on Bett Street because of his accent, and due to his lack of understanding of market conditions and rules, even if he had experience in previous life sales, he could not perform at all.

  This is wasteland.

   A dystopian collective of scum and villains.

   A scumbag who sells boats and a crook who sells bad financial derivatives will mix better than a banker or economist who follows the rules.

   Let the players go and do business with these local wealthy owners, not to mention whether they can use 1% of their eloquence normally, so what if they do?

   It is better to bring more guns in the past.

  Chu Guang suddenly understood the old leech of Bate Street - oh no, the old mayor.

   This guy is really not a good thing, and the food is ugly enough. The exploitation is just for pleasure, and he has no long-term plan for the future of Bett Street.

   But if the scavengers themselves go to trade with the merchants, those poor people will only be squeezed even worse.

   This is not just a question of ignorance.

  Only a certain degree of naivety would think that a merchant from Boulder would be more benevolent than a rich man in the outskirts of the country.

   It's like comparing bats and leeches, which **** better.

"It is meaningless to encourage players to trade with indigenous forces. Every large transaction involving export must be carried out under supervision. For example, setting up a fixed caravan, planning routes and trading varieties, listing commodity prices, the player is the **** responsible for the transportation, and the NPC is responsible for the transportation. Handover, return five or three... This can also take care of players who are not so **** and simplify the transaction process."

   "However, tariffs are indeed a good idea, and this can be remembered! In the future, according to actual needs, we can consider allowing outside NPCs to directly participate in the players' market... The premise is to barter, or use the currency of the Refuge."

   and under supervision.

"free trade?"

"Ha ha."

   "When I need you to fight, I will naturally tell you who to trade freely with."

  In addition to the tips posted by "Moles in the Canyon", there are also Civil Engineering Dogs posting to exchange house building tips. Metallurgical Engineering Dogs discuss how to use limited materials to make steel efficiently.

  Some people chatted and threw the link to the island of N station and A, and continued to chat in another place, and finally unexpectedly attracted a lot of new traffic to the website.

  The urban legend about "fully immersive virtual reality online games" is showing signs of expanding. Although the vast majority of people regarded it as a setting that came out of mouth, there were also a small number of people who took it seriously and clicked the reservation button with a half-joking attitude.

  The number of appointments is growing steadily.

   What surprised Chu Guang was that Fang Chang, who was usually the most popular and "knows himself best", didn't share his game experience on the forum this time.

   The sun is really coming out from the west.

  While Chu Guang was strolling around the forum, the Bull and Horse Club group was also very lively.

  Although Brother Tianguang didn't bubble up these days, the topics in the group basically revolved around wasteland OLs.

   At least in the morning.

  Old Bai: "Fang Chang, have you seen a post on the official website? It's the one written by the big-nosed mole."

  Wind: "It's called the Canyon Fleeing Mole."

  Old Bai: "It's not important!"

   Fang Chang: "I see, the method proposed in the post is a bit interesting, but it doesn't make much sense."

  Old Bai: "Ah? I think it's alright! You can earn 5 silver by selling a piece of prey directly to NPC, and find someone to slaughter and dry it in one-stop, and the value will at least double."

   Fang Chang: "Hehe, theory is theory, but he ignored the existence of contribution points."

  Ye Shi: "What do you mean?"

  Fang Chang: "You can understand citizenship as a Shenzhen hukou, and contribution points are settlement points."

   Gufeng: "Absolutely, your metaphor is a bit arrogant..."

Fang Chang: "I mean. Now, among all the players, except for the few of us who have upgraded citizens, it is estimated that the mosquitoes working in woodworking and the vines who make clothes can barely collect 2000 points. In other words, except for these six people , everyone else needs to contribute, become a citizen, and then make money.”

  You can only buy land if you are a citizen.

   Even an idiot can see that, the sooner you buy a lot, the better.

  Fang Chang: "After thinking about this issue, let's analyze the others. Which of these six people do you think is more suitable to be a butcher? Do you have any experience in slaughtering?"

  Old Bai: "Uh, this is indeed a problem."

  Ye Shi: "No, I just want to ask, is slaughtering difficult?"

   Gu Feng: "...but anyone who has gone to the supermarket to buy vegetables can't ask such a thing."

Fang Chang: "Ye Shi is still in school, and he has no life experience. It's not feasible to talk about the method mentioned in the guide post. We need to find another salesman, a butcher, and six people to share the profits. will earn more."

   "Actually, I have already paid this account, but I just didn't say it. When that tomato scrambled egg becomes a citizen, we can try to talk to him about cooperation, although I don't think there is much hope."

  Ye Ten: "Why?"

  Fang Chang: "You are stupid, why do people cooperate with us? Save enough money to buy a piece of land, open a restaurant by yourself, and take over the slaughtering business. Isn't it good?"

  Old Bai: "Fuck! If you say that, if you know how to slaughter and cook! You can make a lot of money in this game!"

   Fang Chang: "It can only be said that it is at this stage, and it may not be possible if we wait."

Fang Chang: "Our first priority is to level up, and then to level up the proficiency. In any open-ended game, it is easier to make money in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages, the first echelon will always be those who are really strong. By!"

   Gufeng: "Hey, you have figured out the game... I've never figured it out, why don't you become a professional player."

   Fang Chang: "I didn't have a chance before, but now, hehe, I feel that the opportunity has come."

   Picking up trash, level 99: "Boss! Please accept my knee!"

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Take me one too!"

   Fang Chang: "Yes, haha! We are all in a group, and the guild will be called the Bull and Horse Club in the future!"

  Old Bai: "Cough, why don't you change your name?"

  Ye Shi: "What to change, what a nice name. (Funny

Fang Chang: "It doesn't matter if you change your name or not. But let me say, Mosquito, your contribution should be almost enough, but Jun Jun has been playing in the wild for the past few days, and it is estimated that it is still a little short. Your first priority now is to be promoted as a citizen. Citizens and save money! When the time comes, let's form a group and build the house directly in front of the resurrection point, with the first floor as a street-side shop, and the second and third floors as a partition for one person and a large standard room, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

  Old Bai: "It will be our guild stronghold in the future! (excited

  WC really has mosquitoes: "Brother steady!"

   Picking up trash at level 99: "6666!"

   Quit smoking: "Grass! I really want to play!!! T.T"
