Chapter 96 The second underground floor of Vault 404!
Chu Guang had a long, long dream.
This time, it was not that I was hit by a dump truck while working, but that I dreamed of opening a game of Ming 6, and it was an enhanced version of the Marathon Bladder Game with one round per year.
When he started to develop from a primitive society, he sent scouts to trample the village like crazy, climbing along the technology tree... After climbing for thousands of rounds, he finally defeated several god-level AIs and announced the victory of technology.
But when I opened my eyes, nothing happened.
"Gan! Wait until I finish my dream!"
If nothing else happens, if we continue to do this, it will probably be bright and clear?
He stretched and sat up from the bed, his bones crackling all over his body.
Chu Guang's heart moved, and he immediately went to the residents' hall next door, found the physical examination equipment and gave himself a full body examination.
As expected, he was promoted!
ID:Chu Guang
Gene Sequence:Manager
Level:Lv.8Lv.9
Basic properties
Strength:1011
Agility:6
Constitution: 8
Perception:7
Intelligence:7-
Skill: Wild Instinct
"Sure enough, you can grow stronger by sleeping."
Good children should go to bed early.
After sitting in front of the computer and confirming the electronic version of the physical examination report, Chu Guang casually dragged it into a folder and archived it, then stood up and stretched his arms.
With 220% of the basic strength of a normal adult male, coupled with the attribute improvement of "Wild Instinct", Chu Guang feels that he is now one of the bravest.
"It's time to go out and get some food."
Yes, we also need to share the spoils among the players.
Thinking of this, Chu Guang walked into the buffer room humming a tune, put on the exoskeleton placed there, and hung the big hammer firmly behind him.
After everything was ready, he stepped onto the elevator to the surface.
It’s 5:30 pm in the wasteland, which is the busiest time in the outpost.
Especially the market at the north entrance was bustling with players returning from scavenging.
Although there was snow falling in the sky again, it did not affect the lively atmosphere here at all.
Players have now developed a habit of setting up a stall at the north gate of the trash they pick up or the spoils they get from hunting. If no one buys it, they then send it to the warehouse to hand over materials.
After doing this, you can earn two more copper coins than before, and players who have shopping needs will come here before going to nP's store.
"I don't know whether to call them indifferent or strong. One-tenth of the people died yesterday, but there was not a single person grieving for the deceased, and there wasn't even a decent funeral." Standing at the north door, Lenna had a look on her face.
Look at these blue coats in surprise.
She found that there was no sad expression on their faces.
"There is no conflict between indifference and strength. The world has become like this. If you don't be stronger, you will be defeated by yourself first before you can be defeated by others."
It was also the first time for Hain to see such a blue coat, but after all, he had seen many strange things, so he was only surprised.
Existence is reasonable.
Moreover, if you think about it from another angle, if they are the kind of weak people who indulge in sorrow, I am afraid that the people standing here are another group of people.
His attention was attracted by a stall next to him. Hain walked forward, looked at the split-claw crab legs on the iron shelf for a while, and asked curiously.
"how much is this?"
Crow Crow raised his head and looked at the nP.
Although I didn't understand what he said, I could guess from his gestures that he probably wanted to buy his own grilled crab legs.
Crow Crow waved his index finger.
"It's a small 1 silver coin."
She hasn't decided how much to sell the big one, but she plans to think about it again. After all, it's not cheap to buy it from the warehouse.
What does one chip mean?
The survivors' settlement in Qingquan City seems to be trading with chips.
"Come on two."
Hain gestured with two fingers, then took out two chips from his pocket and threw them into Crow Crow's outstretched hand.
However, after seeing the chips, Crow Crow shook his head and anxiously took out two silver coins and waved them in front of him.
Hain and Lenna were confused.
They have been to so many places but have never seen such metal coins.
Seeing that they didn't respond, Crow Crow sighed helplessly and reached out to pick up two chips.
"Two plastic pieces can only be used as one silver coin."
As she said that, she touched two chips and a silver coin to show that they were equal. Then she took out a baked crab leg and handed it to Hain who was standing in front of the stall.
2 chips and one grilled crab leg?!
are you crazy!
It doesn't matter if it's bigger. This small crab leg obviously only weighs two or three kilograms, and the crab meat inside is probably not even a kilogram.
Hain's brows and corners of his mouth twitched, but he couldn't say anything.
After all, since I am living under someone else's roof, it is best to avoid conflicts.
Gan!
It still hurts!
In a rural place like this, 2 chips can buy a lot of supplies!
Hain didn't want to buy a second one, but he still looked at his companion and said politely.
"Would you like some?"
Lenna didn't waste any time. She caught half of it with her left hand, threw out the machete with her right hand, neatly cut the crab legs into two pieces, and shook the half in her hand.
"This piece belongs to me."
"..."
Being used to this guy's rudeness, Hain shook his head without saying anything and took a bite of the soft and tender crab meat.
Um.
Don't tell me, it's quite delicious.
Even though the food sold at this roadside stall didn't contain any condiments, it was still far behind the meal Chu Guang treated him to the day before yesterday.
And it always feels not too fresh...
After eating the crab meat, Lenna licked the juice from the corner of her mouth, looked at the people at the North Gate Market, and suddenly said something coldly.
"What do you think of their strength?"
Hain thought for a while and gave a pertinent evaluation.
"Very strong. Whether it is psychological quality or all aspects of ability, these people are much better than the blue jackets I have seen."
"Especially their leader, I'm afraid he has reached the edge of awakening... I don't understand, they are not barbarians who worship force. This is the first time I have seen the leader of a force train himself to awaken. Is it possible that he is lying on his lap and sitting in control?
Are you not happy with the conductor?"
Halfway through speaking, Hain suddenly noticed the intriguing expression on Lenna's face and hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"What do you want to do?"
"I'm not going to fuck you anyway," Lenna said without any hesitation, flipping her hair and saying bluntly, "I like strong males."
Hain glanced at her mockingly, and then at the girl grilling crab legs at the stall next to her.
"Look, even she is grilling crabs. I don't think that man can like you."
Sensing Lenna's unkind look, Hain shrugged weakly, indicating that he was no match for her, made a surrender gesture and left.
It happened that while the two were chatting, Chu Guang walked out from the north gate carrying a sledgehammer.
As soon as the players saw the manager, they immediately surrounded him with bright eyes.
Loot!
Contribute points!
There’s also goodwill!
Before the players could be attentive, Chu Guang raised his right fist majestically and made a gathering gesture like a real nP.
Then, he announced in a sonorous and powerful voice.
"Divide the spoils!"
"Old rules, I won't repeat them."
Walking to the cart piled with trophies, Chu Guang picked up a rifled double-barreled shotgun and started the work that the nP was supposed to do.
Appraisal of equipment!
"...This is an 18mm caliber double-barreled shotgun. Its owner is Xiong, the leader of the Blood Hand clan. Although he, like Yu, committed evil all his life and deserved his death, and was eventually sent to hell by the hammer of justice, their
The weapon is innocent. There is a bear engraved on the wooden stock. There may be a few typos in the writing, but it is not important. The predators are not ordinary in the first place.”
"The bidding starts now, the starting price is 40 silver coins, the highest price is 80 silver coins"
Mosquito took the lead and raised his hand before he could finish his words.
"80 silver!"
Chu Guang: "...?"
The players around who were ready to go were cursing.
"Gan!"
"It's this guy again!"
"Too fast, too fast!"
Chu Guang can't be punished either.
Originally, he was thinking that apart from the fact that the barrel was made of fine steel, this wretched gun had nothing to offer it, so he casually bid a price that was neither high nor low.
Can this be stopped in seconds?
But seeing the regretful expressions on the players' faces, he understood in an instant.
"Tsk, I was careless...the boss's equipment is valuable."
What's that called?
It’s just a weapon with a name anyway!
He thought to himself that he was being careless, but Chu Guang didn't take it too seriously.
He is an informal man.
Besides, there are still five weapons of the ten-capion commander placed here. I will casually make up an exaggerated legend for those horses and cows later. Isn’t it too much to sell more?
It can be regarded as robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
The pace of the auction was very fast, and all fifty main weapons were sold in half an hour.
The remaining bits and pieces are priced at 1 silver coin each, and the rest are calculated at 1 copper coin, and then taken to the warehouse to be sorted slowly.
Of the 50 pieces of equipment, 20 were unsold, and 30 pieces were sold for a total of 971 silver. It was still the old rule to deduct the 10% transaction tax and get 873.9 silver coins, erasing the fraction of 873 silver!
In addition, 29 prisoners are also counted as 5 silver coins each according to the team battle reward rules, which translates into a total of 145 silver coins.
In addition to the 21 Predator Veterans killed in the battle, 5 Predator Captains, 1 Boss-level Predator, as well as the rewards from a series of dungeon branches such as conquering strongholds and rescuing prisoners, the total reward amount actually reached 4371.
A silver coin!
In comparison, the amount of money raised at the auction was small.
All 82 players participating in the battle can get at least 50 silver coins, and some can get 55 or even 60 silver coins!
It was like getting rich overnight!
In addition to the loot rewards, players who died in the battle also received pensions specially issued by the administrator.
However, the amount of the pension is not high. Taking Gene Sequence Level 1 as an example, with a daily subsidy of 1 silver coin per level, you can get almost 3 silver coins in three days.
Lv2 is 6 silver, Lv3 is 9 silver, and so on.
It’s not a lot of money, but it’s better than nothing. After three days, you’ll be a good man again!
"Long live the manager!"
"It's cool! I have a gun now, hahaha!"
"Wow, 41 silver coins! I've never been so rich!"
"Hurry up and buy something!"
The professional combat players cheered for a while, holding the silver coins distributed by Chu Guang himself, and happily spent them.
The eight professional life players who did not participate in the battle looked on and cried with envy. If they had known that the rewards would be so high, they would have joined us with shovels and clubs.
Crow Crow secretly put a "sky-high" price of 3 silver coins on the big crab legs. They couldn't sell them just now, but they should be able to sell them now.
Lenna and Hain, who were standing nearby and watching, looked confused. After a while, they swallowed and communicated in a low voice.
"What are they doing?"
"It looks like an auction."
"I don't understand why they have to spend money to buy it back if it's their own loot? Shouldn't it be whoever picked it up should own it?"
"I couldn't understand it either, but I was shocked."
Hain suddenly had a new understanding of this young ruler. Although he didn't know what methods or spells he used, he had mastered the art of power to the extreme.
There is nothing praiseworthy about asking a farmer to donate his harvest; after all, everyone can load a rifle.
But if a group of farmers are willing, even grateful, to offer their coins to buy back their harvest...
I'm afraid only demons have this ability.
In any case, this is the second time in a row that Hain has raised his evaluation and opinion of the same person.
However, Chu Guang, who was rated highly by him, didn't care how others rated him.
Compared with Kaili from Heaven, Chu Guang feels that he is already a good person. At least he will not cheat players' wallets, nor will he fool them with hidden explosion rates.
Do some people really think that giving out more money will make players happy?
Most people who think this way have played too few games, and have never seen games where hundreds of millions or billions of gold coins are thrown out at every turn. In the end, only fresh leeks are enough to recharge, and those who are serious about it
Players of liver games feel like idiots.
Yes, Chu Guang has been tricked more than once, so he was very careful when designing the economic system of Wasteland oL.
He knows very well that he is not like those real dog planners who can randomly develop some "magic equipment" to absorb the super-issued currency, and then use a bunch of bosses with overflowing values to stimulate players to earn gold.
Amidst the cheers of the players, Chu Guang waved his hand, returned to the sanatorium through the north gate, and took the elevator to the underground.
The elevator leading to the B2 floor is in the residents' lobby on the B1 floor. It is still locked and will not open for a few hours.
Taking advantage of some free time, Chu Guang sat in front of the computer and compiled the information he compiled from "Bloody Hand Diary" into the settings collection on the official website for cloud players and people to freely imagine.
Then Chu Guang gathered information on the forum for a while, like reviewing a memorial, reading through the posts that he had not had time to read last night.
Some of these ideas are really good and you can consider adding them to the alpha0.5 version package.
Time passed by minute by minute, and finally it was two o'clock in the morning.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Chu Guang stretched out and sat up from the chair, put on the exoskeleton suit again, and put a sledgehammer on his back.
Although the possibility of the first-generation managers harming themselves is only one in 10,000, it is still best to be cautious.
"Xiao Qi, I plan to go down."
Xiaoqi, who had returned to the corner to recharge her batteries, raised her camera and clicked it obediently.
"Well, I know Master, be careful."
Chu Guang, who was about to get on the elevator, stopped and looked back at the wastebasket.
"What do you mean, be careful? Do you mean there's something down there? Or do you mean you know something?"
Being dumbfounded by this series of questions, Xiao Qi was stuck for a while and then said blankly.
"I don't know... probably not?"
"Then why are you telling me to be careful?"
"Ah?! Well, that's just a daily expression stored in the language area..."
Well.
And this setting?
"...You come with me."
Looking at Xiao Qi who shut her mouth and didn't speak, and rolled obediently to his legs, Chu Guang then confidently stood on the elevator to the B2 floor.
Not that I'm a coward.
This is purely out of an abundance of caution.
As Chu Guang stepped forward, two buttons B1 and B2 immediately appeared on the originally dark touch screen, as well as an authorized dialog box.
Chu Guang stretched out his index finger and pressed B2 without hesitation.
The door closed lightly, and as the elevator sank slightly, the door opened again in less than three seconds, and a stream of dry and refreshing air came through the crack in the door.
There's even a hint of refreshing fragrance in it.
"...air freshener?"
Chu Guang had a strange expression and glanced at Xiao Qi next to him.
"You go explore the way."
"okay……"
The voice sounded weak, even a little aggrieved.
But Xiao Qi still listened to her master's words and rolled her wheels forward.
Holding the handle of the hammer behind him with his right hand, Chu Guang walked forward steadily, cautiously stepping into this area that was said to have been untouched for more than a century.
The floor here is very clean, without a trace of dust, and there is no creaking sound when you step on it.
Not only the floor, but everything around it was so brand new that there wasn't even the slightest trace of someone having lived there.
The elevator is located in the center of the annular hall. It is like the stage of an amphitheater and the space is wider than the residents' hall on the B1 floor.
There are four gates located in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the hall, and behind the gates is a straight main road and four fan-shaped areas divided by the main road.
There are controllable alloy doors between adjacent partitions, which are normally open by default. When necessary, the gates can be lowered to isolate the entire partition.
Area a is the functional area, and the facilities inside seem quite complicated. Chu Guang plans to stay and explore later.
As for the structure of the BD area, it is very simple. You can guess from the floor plan posted at the entrance that this is a residential area.
The entire corridor is filled with densely packed doors and numbered rooms like pigeon cages. It is roughly estimated that the interior area of each room is only 4 to 5 square meters, which is enough to accommodate a cultivation cabin and a table.
To half the area of B1 floor.
"Does anyone really live in this place?"
Chu Guang, who was walking in the area, was secretly stunned. He opened a room and found that there was only a cultivation cabin inside, and there was nothing else.
good.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Maybe this is not a place for people to live in the first place.
"...The room is a bit small, but the quadruple room has been changed to a standard room, which can be considered as considering the privacy of the players."
Each zone has two hundred rooms, and the rooms in zone D are all equipped with training cabins, totaling four hundred in total.
The population limit of the shelter was directly raised from 100 to 500 people. This is undoubtedly good news for Chu Guang, who is in urgent need of labor.
There are so many pits, enough for several versions!
The only pity is that such a large population may not be needed in winter.
But it doesn’t matter, it will be useful during spring plowing!
As for Area B, it has a very ordinary configuration. There is only a bed and a foldable table in each room, and there is not even a stool.
"People should live here."
Chu Guang thought in his mind, but even though he searched all the rooms, he couldn't find any personal belongings left behind.
Including the matching bedding, everything is folded neatly, like tofu cubes. Even if you use a ruler to measure it, you can't find a single millimeter error.
"...If someone had lived here before, they would have kept it very clean."
As for that?
It's like destroying criminal evidence.
Just when Chu Guang was thinking this, he was slightly stunned when he walked to the last room on the main road in Area B.
Not only did he stop, but Xiao Qi who was rolling in front also stopped.
"Master, there seems to be something on the ground."
"I saw it."
It was a card that looked a bit like an ID card.
The card fell in front of the room at the end of the corridor, right under the door handle... The straight hook looked like it was left there on purpose.
Chu Guang stepped forward and picked up the card.
The light from the top of the aisle shines on the pure white card. Following the hexagonal lines, you can see a metallic luster, but you can't tell what material it is made of.
There is no photo or name on the card. There are only two words printed on it. I don’t know whether it is a profession or a code name.
