Chapter 18 I'm the one who made the appointment first

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Since these players are so self-conscious, Chu Guang feels that it is better not to control them too much and let them play freely.

After piling the supplies next to the elevator, Chu Guang returned to the shelter and called out the manager system. Soon, a pop-up window showing that the task was completed appeared in front of him.

[Congratulations to the host, for completing the daily task: hoarding wood, reward: bonus points +2]

[Congratulations to the host, for completing the daily task: burning cement, reward: bonus points +5]

The daily tasks completed add up to 7 reward points, which is not enough for an intermediate blind box.

But Chu Guang didn't care.

His players have already secured the cement, and now the food reserves exceed ten kilograms. Soon he will be able to recruit a few more players to come in as free labor.

"System, all reward points, all redeemed for primary blind box!"

The reward points in the manager's allowance will be cleared instantly.

The alloy door on the wall opened, and the conveyor belt began to roll, delivering the rewards from the blind box.

Five lollipops, a piece of chocolate with a net content of 200g, and a bag of salt with a net content of 500g. As before, there is no expiration date or trademark on them.

How much did this first generation manager like to eat sweets?

Looking at the five lollipops and chocolates, Chu Guang didn't know how to complain.

But this white salt is actually a good thing.

Chu Guang reached out and picked it up, with an unexpected look on his face.

The salt you can buy on Beit Street is coarse salt shipped from Boulder City. It is yellowish in appearance, expensive, and of poor quality. The bitter taste can even overwhelm the salty taste.

This kind of white refined salt is usually very expensive, and ordinary survivors cannot afford it.

“It would be great if I could have more!”

This amount is okay for cooking, but it's a bit wasteful for bacon or sausages.

Of course, it may be a good choice to trade it. This white refined salt can be exchanged for at least 10 times or even 20 or 30 times the weight of coarse salt.

However, there are other risks here.

River valley provinces are inland provinces.

Things like salt are second only to arms in terms of huge profits. Without sufficient strength, it would be a bit irrational to want to do this business.

After confirming the rewards, Chu Guang then opened the player list and confirmed the players' offline time yesterday and online time today.

What surprised him was that Lao Bai actually upgraded?

“Can you upgrade by cutting down trees?”

Chu Guang was shocked.

Previously, the development progress of these players' genetic sequences was 0, but the development progress of Lao Bai's genetic sequence has increased to 1%.

The corresponding level is LV1.

But Chu Guang thought about it and felt relieved.

The physical work of chopping down trees is equivalent to a kind of exercise in itself. In addition, Lao Bai's genetic sequence is of the strength system, so it is not surprising that the development progress has increased.

To gain experience, you don't necessarily have to fight.

Although the latter is a relatively shortcut...

Close the system interface.

Sitting in front of the computer in the residents' hall, Chu Guang logged into the backend of the official website of Wasteland OL.

Previously, the reservation threshold was set, and you needed to fill in the delivery address and phone number and register an account to make an appointment. Chu Guang was originally prepared for the growth of the number of reservations to slow down or even stagnate, but he did not expect that when he opened it today, the number of reservations had increased from 35.

Arrived at 45.

Good guy.

Are there so many living people in the Cow and Horse Club?

Surprised, Chu Guang then boarded the Penguin, opened the game group called Cow Horse Club, and after looking through the chat records for a while, he saw some clues.

It turns out that just yesterday, a large number of new people entered the group, and the number of group members has soared from more than a hundred to over two hundred.

Most of these newcomers were invited by group friends to watch. Many of them are members of the group and are active in major game groups all year round.

Now in the PC game circle, an urban legend about "fully immersive virtual reality online games" has begun to spread.

Although most people sneered after hearing it, there were always one or two who believed it and tried their best to find the "Cattle and Horse Club" to join.

Everyone is not sure if the dog managers have joined forces to organize the operation, but in short, the official website does a decent job.

——Historical chat records——

Quit smoking: [Why are there suddenly so many new people in the group? (Confused.jpg)]

Garbage Picking Level 99: [Guys! How do I make a reservation for that game? Does it cost money? 】

Quit smoking: [What the fuck? Are you all here for Wasteland OL? (Surprised.jpg)]

Public Enemy Girls Night Ten Times: [The group name can be changed to the Wasteland OL players group. (Funny)]

Ye Aonai: [You don’t need to spend any money during the closed beta period. I don’t know in the future. You can register an account and fill out a form to queue up. As for when you can get in line, it depends on your face... Hey, I’m convinced, some people really believe it.]

Quit smoking: [Brothers Night Ten! You guys went online last night??? Did you test any new content??? (excited)]

Public Enemy Girls Night Ten Times: [We tested it. We tested it all night, and we got the cement out, haha. You can ask Fang Chang, I have to go to class, let’s talk later.]

Quit smoking:【Cement???】

Picking up trash level 99: [Isn’t it picking up trash???]

The group discussed it for a long time.

Chu Guang skipped the long list of nonsense and turned to Fang Chang's speech.

The future is long: [To be honest, the realism of this game exceeded my expectations! Unlike most sandbox construction games, in Wasteland OL, logs will not turn into wood by themselves, and synthesizing charcoal is not a simple process.

Throwing wood into the furnace can be synthesized with one click. Instead, you need to build a charcoal kiln first. The firing method is basically the same as in reality. The same is true for making cement. There is no one-click synthesis workbench, but you need to burn plant ash.

start.】

Quit smoking: [WTF? Is it so real?!]

The future is long: [Yes, it is so real! The combat system has not been tested yet, but as far as sandbox gameplay is concerned, Lao Bai and I have not yet discovered the upper limit of this game! 】

The future is long: [Theoretically, all the materials we are currently exposed to can be transformed according to the physical and chemical rules in reality, and these transformations to the map environment are retained permanently! They will not be refreshed! This is also the most frustrating thing.

I was pleasantly surprised!]

This reminded him of Death Stranding, a "pseudo-sandbox game" that builds roads all over the world.

However, this game is not just about building roads. It has more interactive content than the pixel-style "Minecraft", and the graphics are not ambiguous at all. It is even more fake than the photo-quality racing game "Horizon 4".

Especially the immersive experience.

It was something he had never seen before.

To put it simply, he blew this game away!

What can you do to me? [Haha, I laughed. If you are so awesome, I can build a Jinling City on the wasteland.]

Save the man under the knife: [I don’t believe it either! It’s too outrageous.]

The moment wasted: [Stop bragging, you will know after you enter the game. This game is the most hesitant I have ever seen. All the materials are played by hand, and it does not support idle. When playing other games, you can leave your computer idle all night to grind monsters.

, but playing this game, just cutting a few pieces of wood can make you so tired that you can’t even lift your hands!]

Level 8 strong wind: [Indeed, I understand this deeply.]

Quit smoking: [Cao Cao Cao, I really want to play after hearing what you said!!! Wuwuwuguang brother, I know you are peeking at the screen, I kneel down for you, please give me a chance!!!]

Chu Guang continued to scroll down the chat history.

The dog managers and group owners who have qualified for the closed beta test are basically talking about the rainbow farts of "Wasteland OL", such as "sandbox gameplay yyds", "annual hegemony reservation" and the like.

There are also some greedy players who interject from time to time, "One hundred thousand dollars to buy the qualification for internal testing", "One hundred thousand is too little, I will pay 100 million (funny)" and so on.

Then, the group of friends started talking about survival in the wilderness.

Perhaps because they were interested in the gameplay described in "The Day is Long", many players who did not believe that "fully immersive virtual reality online games really exist" also participated in the discussion and even made suggestions.

Among them, the one that interests Chu Guang the most is a group guy whose ID is [WC is really a mosquito].

Looking at the time he joined the group, this guy just joined the group not long ago and is a new member.

While others were busy discussing games, he was seriously talking about the eighteen uses of wood.

Whether it's making charcoal or making furniture, it's all very basic.

Among other things, he also mentioned the "retorting" of wood.

The specific principle is that during the process of baking wood in a closed container to make carbon, a large amount of flammable gases and smoke rich in various organic chemical components will be released.

These complex mixtures, collectively known as "charwood," were the chemical precursors to many chemical products—until coal tar and petroleum were widely used.

According to the description of this group brother, by filtering the collected condensate, an aqueous solution composed of acetic acid, acetone, and methanol can be obtained, as well as a thick tar-like residue.

Both are complex mixtures, but both can use fractionation to extract different organic chemical components.

Needless to say acetic acid and methanol, acetone is a good thing. Not only can it be used as an organic solvent, it can also be used to make smokeless gunpowder!

When he saw this, Chu Guang was shocked.

"This guy is in the chemical industry?"

He subconsciously clicked on the person's profile picture and clicked on the space.

The space was unlocked, so it was easy to get in. However, there were no chemical-related items inside, but some advertisements for furniture and building materials.

All right……

It seems to be a furniture seller.

My understanding of wood is probably due to my interest.

However, his knowledge might come in handy here.

Chu Guang thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea in his mind, so he threw a private chat pop-up window to him.

"Friends, are you interested in joining the closed beta test?"

It's nine o'clock in the morning here in the wasteland, and it should be nine o'clock in the evening in China in the parallel world. It's the right time to get high, so it's impossible to fall asleep.

Sure enough, the guy named [WC is really full of mosquitoes] sent a question mark.

【?】

【Who are you?】

Chu Guang typed.

【I am the planner of Wasteland OL.】

There are really mosquitoes in WC: [What the fuck?! Are you the planner?]

There are really mosquitoes in WC: [Brother, how do you test it? Do you need money? I don’t have any money.]

Chu Guang explained patiently.

[No need to spend money, just fill out the form and I will send you the link.]

Although I was full of doubts, I still clicked on the link and filled in the address and phone number on the official website reservation page.

However, when filling in the address, he still paid attention to it. He wrote down the inn in the community and did not write down the house number.

There are really mosquitoes in WC: [What next? Is there any other procedure?]

Guang: [No, please send me the reservation number and I will mark it for you in the background. I will notify you when it goes online in three days. 】

It takes three days to make a clone.

Just when Chu Guang was thinking, now that there are carpenters, what kind of talent is lacking in the outpost, the group message suddenly exploded.

I opened the group chat and saw that it was the person [WC is really full of mosquitoes] who just finished filling out the form and then went to the group to show off.

[Hahahaha, you guys, I have obtained the qualification for closed beta testing!!!]

Quit smoking: [WTF? WTF! WTF!]

Quit smoking: [Why! I obviously made the appointment first! T.T]
