This Game is Too Real

  At the top of the Blood Peak, the setting sun is slanting to the west, and the branches covered with broken snow are cold and windy.

  A middle-aged man in a white robe stood on the top of the mountain.

  He has a thin figure, a high nose bridge, and a pair of rimless glasses under his eyebrows. If he took off the white robe on his shoulders that didn't match his temperament, he would feel a bit like an ordinary teacher.

   But it's just a feeling.

   As for names, he doesn't have that kind of thing.

  From the moment he entered the sanctuary and became the forerunner, he abandoned the name and body of walking in the mortal world together.

  But if you want to talk about a code name for walking in the world, he does have one.

  The mutants on Mount Ten Peaks called him "Beastmaster".

   As for people...

   Those who are eliminated by the laws of nature have no chance to see him at all.

  Looking at the peak of Fushan with a blank face, he watched indifferently the sound of guns and guns firing there, the wailing everywhere, and the rising of the blood-stained flag in the setting sun...

   After all the commotion subsided, he murmured thoughtfully to himself.

   "It came a little faster than expected..."

  The Shijiao clan is the barrier he set up at the gate of Shifeng Mountain. He thought he could hold the alliance for at least a month, but he didn't expect that Fushan would change hands in just one day.

  Although there are still some mutants and short people left there, it may be difficult to form an effective combat force, and at most it will cause a little trouble for the alliance.

  Thinking of this, the Beastmaster couldn't help showing a trace of regret on his face.

Pity…

   That Grey was his carefully selected creation, and its prosthetic body was even operated by him himself—by the hands of mutant priests.

   It seems that the strength is still not enough, and the power of the prosthetic body itself has not been exerted at all.

  However, he was not discouraged by this, and the look of interest on his face became more intense.

   Mutants are just tools to them, and the entire Haiya Province is their seedbed, and there are as many of that kind of thing as they want. Just give them enough time and they'll even fill the entire wasteland with this guy.

   In contrast, experimental data is more valuable.

They need to test the research results in the laboratory on the battlefield, continuously improve the plan according to the feedback data, and then screen out a greater life form, until finally completing the regret that people in the era of prosperity failed to complete—"Gestalt life form ".

  Only when humans become a greater species can the kingdom of heaven they long for be truly realized.

   At that time, he will re-transplant his consciousness into a new body, and then use the endless time to think of a new name for himself.

   But speaking of it, these shelter residents are pretty good at naming people.

   "...Goblin? Interesting title."

  Looking at a short man who was thrown off the cliff, the corner of the man's mouth curled into a slight smile.

  He could hear the death wailing of some chosen ones, and naturally he could also hear the syllables from the mouths of the residents of the shelter who killed those guys.

   The syllable with the highest frequency should be the name for those short green skins.

He is not very good at naming his works. After making those short mutants, they have been mixed with those big guys, and sometimes they are thrown into the oil by those big guys. pot.

   Unexpectedly, their enemies solved this problem for him.

  Since it was the name given by the residents of the shelter, then use that name.

   Sounds quite fluent.

  Looking back at the short green-skinned man standing behind him timidly, the Beastmaster left a sentence in an understated voice.

   "From now on, Goblin is your name... let your enemies and your companions remember it."

  A look of disbelief appeared in the humble amber pupils, and then the look of disbelief turned into excitement.

"Yes Yes!"

  The short green-skinned man prostrated himself on the ground, knocking his head vigorously, grateful for the names bestowed upon them by the Beastmaster.

name!

  It burst into tears with excitement.

  From now on, they are also things with names!

  The Beastmaster had disappeared, as if he had merged into the wind and snow that day.

   "Bro...B...Lin!"

  The short green-skinned priest who hadn't fully learned how to speak, stammered and tried to squeeze out the words from his mouth, then turned sharply and looked behind him, looking at those same short fellows behind him.

  It screamed, howled, danced, and told its kind about the miracles it saw, and shared with them the name given to it by the Beastmaster.

  Incredulity and cringe were written in the eyes of the pair at first, but soon became fanaticism and fanaticism.

  The three-syllable name is like a spell with magical power, and together with the miracle of the beast king's favor, it is constantly passed on among the green heads.

  A tribe named Goblin was born in that way, amidst the ferocious shouts.

  Although they haven't invented their own writing and language, they have learned how to call themselves.

   This is their first culture.

  Given by the enemies who slaughtered them and the gods they worshiped...

  【Wasteland OL beta test server Beta0.7 version update announcement! 】

  【Major update:

  1. The upper limit of closed beta qualifications has been increased from 50,000 to 100,000!

  2. The slime mold research community was established!

  In addition to reaching a cooperation consensus on the agenda of "jointly solving the problem of mutant slime mold", the contracting forces also reached agreement on a series of specific cooperation methods.

  Electronic Pass System: This system is jointly designed by the Academy, Camp No. 101, Endpoint Group, Triumph City Digital Research Institute and other research units. Alliance players can apply through VM. Players holding an electronic pass can enter the actual control area of ​​the cohesion contracting party (limited to public places and infected areas, excluding sensitive facilities) to engage in production, operation and exploration and investigation activities. The parties promise to guarantee the personal safety and basic legal rights of the entrants (see the detailed rules), and to review each pass issued by the party.

  Overseas information services: The parties to the Viscosity Community will cooperate on information exchange, and set up signal repeaters and wired cables as alternatives to blocked satellite communications. At the same time, all parties promise not to monitor the wired and wireless signals of the contracting parties. Simply put, VMs can be connected to the Internet outside the alliance! (The premise is that there is a networked signal base station nearby.)

  Electronic account: bound to the electronic pass system, players can use the electronic currency in the VM to withdraw cash and exchange currency at the main bank of any party in the cohesive body, and the alliance bank will guarantee the transaction. The free application exchange limit is 1,000 silver coins per day. If the limit exceeds the limit, you need to declare on the official website of the forum! At the same time, when the player is active in the area actually controlled by the party, he can receive local currency as remuneration through the VM (currently, Dinar, Cr, and G points for non-members of the Science and Technology Committee are temporarily available), and the alliance bank will settle the exchange rate as Silver coins are deposited into the player's account.

  3. Battle in Heaven!

   All members of the Viscoplasma officially declare war on the Church of the Torch! Players can freely choose to join the southern or northern battlefield according to their own situation, and they can also engage in production work in the rear to contribute to the front!

  Northern Line: The main attack direction of the coalition forces! The current front line is the Shifeng Mountain area in the south of Jinchuan Province. The main enemy units are mutants and derivatives synthesized by the Torch Church through biotechnology. Troops from corporations, academies, legions, the Free State of Buguera and many others will arrive on the battlefield, on our trains, or by their own means.

  Southern Front: The alliance opened up the second battlefield in the south! Our allies are competing with the Northern Federation for the control of the southern waters. The Church of the Torch has intervened in the regional situation. We cannot let our allies fight alone. Take control of the area, the South Sea Alliance warships will provide us with cover! Land our tanks on their beaches!

  4. New maps: Golden Gallon Port, Potato Fries Port, Southern Sea Alliance Islands, Shelter No. 70, Weifu Wasteland, Weifu Military Base, Ten Peaks Mountain, Ice Sea City, Yunxia City Settlement, etc...

  5. Fix a few bugs.

  …

  ]

  The update announcement came out suddenly, without any warning.

  One second ago, the forum was still discussing the **** battle on Shifeng Mountain, and the next second the topic of the new version quickly rushed to the forum's hot list!

  Tail: "giao! ∑(Дノ)ノ"

   Quit smoking: "Fuck! Beta0.7!"

  Professor Yang, Thunder King: "100,000 beta test qualifications! The public beta is just around the corner! Excited!"

  Ye Shi: "Good guy! I sacrificed a garbage king, and directly summoned the new version!"

   Picking up trash level 99: "Grass! Are you polite?! (angry

  Makabazi: "Hahahaha!"

  Siss: "Well... how do I feel that it's because I recalled and submitted the log of the No. 70 manager? Forget it, small things, it doesn't seem to be very important."

  Tail: "Oh! Maybe the reason for the surge in beta test qualifications is actually Vault 70! (/ω\\*

  Roshan Damomo: "It's just a coincidence. (laughing and crying

  Currently, there are about 40,000 beta testers on the server.

  Compared to the ever-expanding game world and the ever-increasing sphere of influence of the alliance, there are indeed fewer people.

  Especially in the last Beta0.6 update, the game map was even five light-years away! The entire server has only 40,000 to 50,000 people.

  Although the skyrocketing game qualifications will not immediately become the online number of servers, according to past practice, each increase in the upper limit of the number of closed beta tests can increase the number of daily beta test qualifications issued.

   And this is the most critical.

   It is also what countless reservation players are eagerly looking forward to.

  Many people have actually operated businesses in the game, and some even invested in their own industries, but people are still queuing outside. It has to be said that it is a very frustrating thing.

  Compared to the closed beta qualifications that cloud players are concerned about, veteran players are more concerned about the content of game updates.

  The newly established slime mold research community has more than doubled the scope of player activities, and now there are alliance save points and communication sites on the sites of enterprises and colleges. It is even possible to trade, hand over tasks, and get task rewards through VMs. Coupled with the "Battle of Heaven", I have to say that this update is quite sincere.

   It's just that the few "new" maps are somewhat unkind.

Luo Yu: "Wait, Gold Gallon Port, Chips Port, Southern Sea Alliance Islands, Weifu Military Base, Binghai City, Yunxia City Settlement...I'm Zhuo! Not all the maps added in this update have already been opened. Did you pass the map?!"

  Qingdeng Ancient Wine: "There are a few more that we made ourselves!"

  Irena: "Congratulations, you have discovered the essence of sandbox games. (Funny

  Elf King Fugui: "The dog is planning to be lazy. (Funny

Fang Chang: "It can't be said that way. The right of way in Binghai City and the settlements in Yunxia City are the results of the Viscosity meeting...but the French Fries Port and the Golden Gallon Port are indeed developed by us, and the South China Sea Alliance. Allies are indeed what we have drawn in. (squinting smile

  Han Bagui: "Bosses, don't worry about the new map, which one of the two fronts is better? It's the first time for Mengxin to join the group, and he has never seen the world, so he is a little nervous. QAQ"

Fang Chang: "It's up to you. If you join the Corps, you can follow your regiment leader. If you don't join the Corps, it depends on what you like. At present, there may be more tasks on the northern line, and the southern line is still fighting for control of the island. Both sides in the main battle are very stubborn. And the sea is basically beyond visual range, and it is a matter of a few torpedoes or missiles to lock on. If you can’t fly a plane or a boat, wait until you land.”

Killing Chicken at Midnight: "Well, if there is no command of the sea, there is no command of the air. It would be great if the production facilities in Coral City and Anle Island can be used to build an aircraft carrier, but there are submarine factories there, and the largest shipbuilding base in the Federation happens to be in Chala. In the hands of Sri Lanka, they might be able to launch another destroyer in two months."

  WC really has mosquitoes: "How about thinking about the potential mother? (Funny

  Midnight Kill Chicken: "What the **** is that? (Stay

Galaxy does not fall into dreams: "Dive aircraft carrier, an antique from the World War I era. It was brought up and discussed after the Iraq War in the 1990s, but it is too technically difficult to realize. After all, jet aircraft and piston aircraft are completely two concepts. , the requirements for the deck are completely different... I guess it's enough."

Commander Quanshui: "Well, in fact, a wave of rational analysis is not necessary. After all, the game is not reality, and it is not advisable to apply it mechanically. Looking at the cargo space of the Dolphin, I thought that it seems to be no different from the aircraft carrier. In reality, I want to create I’m afraid the same model that can’t dive is enough.”

"If the cargo hold area can be redesigned into an upwardly inclined runway or ejection track, and the top deck can be designed as a runway, the drawings may not need to be changed too much. Even if it is only used as a sea airport that can be moved and deployed and dived to avoid missiles , It would also be great to let the plane replenish ammunition and recharge the battery... If I remember correctly, the submarine uses nuclear fusion power, right?"

   Galaxy does not fall into dreams: "Grass, awesome..."

  Fang Chang: "Well, it sounds a bit interesting... I'll go to the game to consult the opinions of professionals. (squinting smile

  …

   "Talent... These guys are really getting better at playing!"

  Refuge No. 404, Chu Guang, who had just uploaded the update announcement, had a look of emotion on his face, and couldn't help but like all the replies below.

   One thing to say, his little players' instincts are still very accurate, and they almost guessed the truth several times.

  That's right, the release of qualifications for the beta test of "Wasteland OL" is indeed linked to the unlocked shelter.

   However, there is nothing to hide.

   After all, even if it’s a bit weird, it can be used as part of the game’s settings—only by unlocking more “novice villages” can more new players enter the game.

  For old players, if you don’t want to py with the few acquaintances in the list all day, it’s also good to explore more shelters.

  Since unlocking the processing center on the B7 floor, the shelter system has actually given him many permissions.

It even includes the training cabin and dormant cabin. In the past, it was either produced through a black box or waiting for a mission to be delivered. Now it can not only be produced through the B7 floor, but even some low-tech structural components can be handed over to the factory in Dawn City for OEM. Save the precious "high-quality production capacity" on the B7 floor.

Except that the emergency task will be triggered when certain conditions are met, it is no longer like a nanny to guide him how to be a good manager, let alone the daily tasks of cutting trees, moving bricks and planting fields like in the early days .

  Recovery managers' logs can unlock various gene sequences.

  Besides completing unexpected tasks, this is almost the only way to obtain the gene sequence, and from the player's perspective, it is naturally the qualification for the beta test.

  Before Pioneer City managed to recover some abandoned shelters in the desert, and the total number of gene sequences exchanged through the manager's log was about 20,000.

  Vault No. 70 also rewarded more than 20,000 yuan, adding up to almost 50,000 yuan.

  Considering the growing size of the alliance and the ongoing "Battle of Heaven", Chu Guang simply released all the test qualifications and adjusted the number of daily qualifications issued to three times the basic value.

   This three-month period should allow the server to add 30,000 new people, and the ongoing war can just digest this batch of "suddenly extra" people.

  Whether they choose to work in production in the rear or fight on the front line, there are enough "jobs" for them to find a way to play that suits them.

  Besides, there are old players with them, so they don’t worry about these newcomers messing around. When they follow the game process and get the VM, they will basically assimilate into their own people.

  In addition, for the alliance's second battlefield in the south, that is, on the southern front, it is indeed a good idea to develop a diving aircraft carrier.

  He actually talked about this issue when he met with Captain Chen Jianhong before—the cargo space on the Dolphin is really huge, can it be converted into an airstrip or something.

  Influenced by the inertia of experience in the parallel world, Chu Guang feels that not only his players, but even himself, have always had a soft spot for the development of aviation equipment.

   And practice has proved that the aircraft is really easy to use.

  Especially operated by the undead pilots of the alliance, not only can they accurately drop bombs on top of the enemy's heads, but they can also transform themselves into bombs to provide precise guidance for a wave of 72-hour CD.

  It's a pity that Chen Jianhong only gave him an ambiguous answer at the time. After all, that guy is just a captain and not an expert in shipbuilding, and he is not very good at making conclusions about things he has never seen. The experts at Camp 101 had little experience in shipbuilding, so they let it go.

  The submarine experts of the South China Sea Alliance are all on Anle Island. Now that Commander Li Minghui has agreed to form a new coalition government with the members of Vault 70, borrowing some equipment and talents should not be a problem.

  Chu Guang is still very confident in the players he personally brings out, and believes that they have mastered the communication skills of "not annoying".

"...It seems that I don't need to worry too much about the southern line. Before the South China Sea Alliance seizes control of the southern waters, we can focus more on the northern line. By the way, Xiao Qi, where are the Weilante people? Where are they?"

   Seeing Chu Guang looking at him, Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the edge of the pen holder dangling his calves, immediately sat up straight and reported crisply.

"Report Master, the troops of the Legion have arrived in Bicester Town yesterday! According to the report from the local mayor, the glorious army composed of 50,000 clones is queuing up to board the train. They will take the special train we prepared for them and go directly to Jin Sichuan Province."

   After a pause, Xiao Qi continued.

"The Citizen Self-Government Committee of Falcon City also sent a message that the 310,000th team directly under the Eastern Legion also set off on the 'Loyalty' airship. In addition to tanks and self-propelled artillery, they also brought a 'Bison' The all-terrain armored walker is expected to arrive at the front line within three days!"

  Chu Guang asked in his heart, "Is it the one we saw in Falcon City?"

  Xiao Qi nodded with a serious expression.

   "I heard that it seems to be true."

   Of course, Chu Guang had an impression of that "bison".

He had met once outside Falcon City before. According to the evaluation of the academy, that thing was a freak hybrid of diesel power and nuclear fusion power, but in his opinion, it was more like a four-legged train gun. .

   A 200mm cannon with an autoloader capable of unleashing the firepower of an artillery battalion in a short amount of time, plus deflector shields and steel armor...

   It can be seen that the Marshal of Triumph City still attaches great importance to the torch.

   Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to throw so much heavy equipment from the west coast tens of thousands of kilometers away under such heavy logistical pressure.

  Looking at Chu Guang who was lost in thought, Xiao Qi paused and continued.

"In addition, the troops of the company and the academy are coming soon. I heard from Yi Chuan that the 100th Mechanized Mountain Division and the 7th Air Force are entering Jinchuan Province from Yuema Province. There are more than 10,000 people in total. The news from the college is that the 'Alpha' mobile task force under the Science Committee will arrive at the air base north of Dawn City the day after tomorrow, and judging from the number of pass applications, there are probably more than a thousand people."

"In addition, survivor forces such as the Buguera Free State, the Lion Kingdom, the Honey Badger Kingdom, the Falcon Kingdom, the Xilan Empire, and the Garbage City have also sent troops to the front. arriving one after another."

  Hearing this, a smile appeared on Chu Guang's pensive face.

  The stage is set.

  Actors are also getting in place one after another.

   "It seems that there is a good show this time."
