This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 299: Northern Expedition Plan
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
Dimiter left with the people.
The group continued north, heading towards Xizhou City.
Watching the soldiers wearing jet black exoskeletons go away, the man hiding among the refugees breathed a sigh of relief and pulled his hand back from the worn cloak.
It is never a good thing to meet strangers in the wasteland. Sometimes the trigger of conflict may be just a look.
In most cases, both parties will consciously avoid each other. But if one of the parties stops or even approaches...
It's hard to say what will happen.
Especially he felt a murderous aura from those people.
They seemed to have just suffered a defeat, and even just a moment ago, they had the idea of venting their anger on them. .
The leader of the refugee team was obviously aware of this. After the uninvited guests walked away, he immediately walked in front of the team and shouted.
"Shuguang City is just ahead!"
"There are sheltered rooms and warm quilts there... as well as hot water and food. Please hold on, everyone. We have to walk faster and try to get there before dark."
The unkempt man muttered softly.
"Will they share their food with us?"
The woman carrying the child looked sad.
"How long do we have to go..."
Facing those pairs of eyes, the leader was silent for a while and said.
"They promised it on the radio."
"No matter what, we have to give it a try."
……
Vault 404.
After taking a shower and returning to the single room, Ye Shi lay down in the training cabin, closed the hatch, and logged out of the game skillfully.
When he opened his eyes again and took off his helmet, what he saw was the ceiling of the dormitory.
The whole process was like blinking an eye.
Now, his "ID" is Ye Wei. He is not the strongest perception player in "Wasteland OL", but an ordinary student studying at Jiangcheng University.
With the chorus of snoring from his roommates, Ye Wei sat up from the bed, rolled over and got out of bed. After quickly washing up, he stuffed the textbook into his satchel.
There will be a morning class soon.
Even if he decides to pursue a career, he has no intention of completely putting aside his studies.
After all, it was a prestigious school, and it was difficult to get into it. He still planned to give an account of his efforts.
After playing "Wasteland OL" for so long, Ye Wei has already become accustomed to switching character identities between reality and virtuality.
When he passed by the window before, he would look at it suspiciously, but now he just sighs that peace is so good.
"Awei, help me hold a seat."
There was a sleepy sound above his head. Ye Wei looked up and was surprised to see that Brother Liu was awake.
"Huh? Brother Liu woke up so early."
"Nah...this faucet is buzzing like a machine gun. Can I not wake up?" Brother Liu, who was lying on the bed, yawned and turned over. "I can't do it anymore. I have to sleep for a while."
Others were still snoring and sleeping soundly.
Ye Wei, who put on his shoes, said helplessly.
“There’s nothing I can do about the bubbles in the water pipes. I opened it very low... If you have poor sleep quality, you might as well make an appointment with me. At least I can help you get a good night’s sleep, and it won’t cost you any money anyway. ”
Liu Ge, who was lying on the bed, was shaking like he was suffering from PTSD and shook his head.
"No, no, good brother, I really don't have the wisdom to practice your magical skills."
"Haha!"
If you don’t believe it, ask for it!
Ye Wei stopped talking nonsense, picked up three books from the roommates' tables and stuffed them into his bag, then went out to the cafeteria.
A full day of classes during the day.
I have to go on a "far trip" in the evening.
Ye Wei and Fang Chang made an appointment to collect 40,000 silver coins together to purchase some specialties from Dawn City and transport them to Boulder City to exchange for chips.
No. 81 Steel Plant and Goblin Technology also entrusted them to help purchase second-hand equipment, and were willing to settle in silver coins at an exchange rate of 3 silver coins for 1 chip.
This exchange rate includes 50% of the shipping fee.
The specific operation method is that the cattle and horse team first go to Boulder City, and then get the next day's bidding list from the auction house, take pictures, go offline, and send it to the private chat window of the forum, which is decided by the two clients. Which one to shoot, what is the transaction price in mind, and how to shoot specifically.
This time around, conservative estimates can more than double the profit.
Thinking of this, Ye Wei, who usually drank two pieces of plain soy milk, switched to black sesame seeds that cost three yuan, and the vegetarian buns that cost three yuan each were replaced by sauced pork buns that cost three yuan each.
One bite is full of flavor.
It’s so cool!
While walking and eating, Ye Wei thought about it and went to the classroom to take a look at the forum. At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
When I took it out, I saw that the message was from my sister.
Jiujiu: "Brother, is this the game you are playing?"
Jiujiu: "[Link]"
The bun and the phone almost fell to the ground together. Ye Wei quickly freed his hands and typed a reply.
"Where did you get the link???"
Jiujiu: "In the group. 0, 0"
Ye Shi: "Quickly retreat, children don't want to play."
Jiujiu: "You are just a child! I am an adult! (angry)"
Ye Wei secretly thought that his words seemed to have the opposite effect.
This guy absolutely ran to fill out the form!
When he thought of his ID, Ye Wei suddenly panicked.
Why didn’t this guy die on the spot?
"Jiujiu, cough, listen to my brother, this game is too deep for you to grasp, and it is extremely unfriendly to newcomers. You should put learning first."
Jiujiu: "Oh."
Ye Wei: "..."
Gan!
Ye Wei scratched his head anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.
How about...
Please ask Brother Guang to open a back door for me and issue a name change card?
But this is not good.
Seeing that it was almost time to reach the classroom, Ye Wei took a deep breath to calm down.
Calm down.
The number of players who have made reservations has skyrocketed since the Beta 0.2 version, with millions of people queuing up to make reservations. With the issuance rate of 30 to 40 activation codes per day, the possibility of squeezing in is extremely slim.
As she waited in line, she probably gave up.
After thinking about this, Ye Wei finally felt relieved, found a four-connected spot in the middle of the classroom, threw his bag up, and then logged into the official website of "Wasteland OL" with his mobile phone.
Seven o'clock sharp.
Guang Ge’s update announcement has finally been sent out.
But what he didn't expect was that a server-wide announcement was sent to them.
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to the "Burning Corps" for becoming the first LV2 Corps in the closed and beta test server! (Since the corps leader chose to make the achievement public, the achievement is included in the Hall of Fame as a group honor)]
Commander Quanshui: "Damn! So fast!?"
Edge stroke: "Let's drive something!"
Tail: "Hey! The White Bear Knights have just arrived in Red River Town! Someone is already LV2!!!! ∑(?Д?ノ)ノ"
Si Si: "O Wei, wake up, we are not a corps, we are a caravan registered in the Hong Merchants Union."
Tail: "Ouch, I got confused._(:з ∠)_"
Fang Chang: "Get out of here, are you just driving something if you fight well? This is called strength! (Proud)"
Makabazi: "It's unreasonable. The corps system is too strong. Professional players are in hot water. Woohoo, please plan to cut it!"
The mole on the run in the canyon: "Gan! You are hurting others without benefiting yourself!"
Envy is envy, Mole's Skeleton Corps is almost at LV2, and there are only two missions left. Although I didn't get the Hall of Fame achievement, the budget given by LV2 is still very good.
However——
Perhaps hearing the calls of professional life players, Gou Planning suddenly released a "Beta0.21 upgrade patch".
When he saw the words "Adjustment of gameplay mechanism of Corps system", Mole had an ominous premonition in his heart.
[Adjustment content:
1. There is a new attribute interface for the corps. The main attributes are "scale" and "logistics". Each time you upgrade to a level, the two attributes will increase by 1 point simultaneously. For example, the scale and logistics corresponding to LV2 are both 2.
2.1 point of scale corresponds to 10 [recruitment limit], and 1 point of logistics corresponds to 10 [logistics points]. The recruitment limit determines the number of players that can be recruited, and logistics points can be used to exchange ordnance. For example, 1 logistics point can be exchanged for a "Conscript Set", which includes an LD-47 rifle and 120 rounds of 7mm ammunition. Using 2 duty points can redeem a "Support Soldier Set", which includes an LD-47j light machine gun and 500 rounds of 7mm machine gun ammunition.
3. The equipment and ammunition loss exchanged by logistics points will be borne by the new alliance. The weapons are kept in the arsenal during peacetime. During wartime, the baggage troops are responsible for transporting them to the front line. The Quartermaster NPC is responsible for managing and deploying them. During non-wartime or when performing special tasks Missions may not use "corps equipment".
4. You can get one point for each level up, which can be freely allocated in "Scale" and "Logistics", and can also be consumed to improve "Doctrine".
5. Doctrine represents the tendency of the development of the corps. For example, players who are good at large-scale combat can choose the human sea vanguard under the "Light Infantry Doctrine" to obtain "100% scale bonus" and lead your teammates appropriately. people. You can also choose special operations under this doctrine to obtain the BUFF of "light infantry equipment point cost -50%", and lead your teammates to block and kill the gods.
Players who are good at blitzkrieg can choose the armored spearhead under "Mobile Combat Doctrine" to obtain the buff of "-50% armor unit point cost". You can also choose a more secure infant-tank collaboration and allocate half of the point discount to light weapons.
The "fire superiority" doctrine is divided into fire coverage and infantry and artillery coordination. It is recommended to leave skill points to "logistics" and equip yourself with a few more cannons and ammunition boxes. You don't need "scale" anyway.
6. LV2, LV10, and LV20 corps can each unlock a doctrine slot. Each corps can carry a limited number of doctrines, and players can match them according to their needs. But please remember that once you choose a major category of doctrine, you cannot choose exclusive branches under other major categories. Whether to charge on the front lines or work as a gunner behind the scenes, you have to choose one.
】
Ye Wei read the update announcement from beginning to end and roughly understood the content of this update.
To put it simply, Dog Planning hopes that players can make choices in gameplay and maximize their own advantages.
But that armored spearhead...
Do they have tanks? ?
Ye Wei looked through the official website database with a subtle expression.
The only units in the New Alliance that can be called armored units are the few trucks carrying quad-mounted anti-aircraft guns.
Or will it happen in the future?
Of course, these are all trivial matters. After all, it is still in the beta testing stage, so it is normal that it has not been developed yet.
What really caught Ye Wei's attention was the point system.
In the past, they used to fire bullets before fighting. After the battle, they used the official bullets. The battle settlement interface allocated a 20% profit to compensate players for equipment loss.
This update has made a change in the gameplay mechanism, which is to separate personal equipment and corps equipment.
"...corps equipment can be redeemed with points, and the new alliance appoints a quartermaster to be responsible for the management of the arsenal and the replenishment of the inventory."
"Is this a distinction between private equipment and corps equipment?"
You will no longer be able to use the remaining ammunition from the campaign for missions outside of the campaign.
A trace of surprise appeared on Ye Wei's face, and he immediately switched to the comment section of the official website.
Sure enough, everyone is discussing this matter.
Irena: "Although it has been updated a lot, the summary is 'the Corps is not allowed to do business'. (Funny)"
Elf King Fugui: "However, you can engage in other professions other than your own job, but you cannot use public guns and armor. (Funny)"
Trash picking up level 99: "Hahaha, two of you hurry up, the brothers in front give way."
The Mole on the run in the canyon: "I've finished reading! Let me briefly summarize it. There are two key points in this change. One is that the logistics power is returned to the central government, and the allocated budget is changed to centralized procurement and unified deployment. The other is the corps equipment and individual Equipment is separated. In the future, the equipment purchased at supply points will be stored in the designated arsenal, monitored and verified by the quartermaster NPC, and can only be used under specific circumstances!"
"The equipment redeemed by points is bound to the corps and cannot be traded. Normal losses will be replenished. Malicious damage will require double compensation and will be adjudicated by the AI."
Professor Yang, King of Thunder and Lightning: "Damn it! The issue of silver coins has been changed to points? The corps system has been weakened at an epic level! (Horrified)"
The Mole on the Run in the Canyon: "Actually, it hasn't been nerfed. It's just that there are more people on the server, so the loopholes in the rules have been plugged."
In the past, when budgets were issued, players could freely spend their military expenditures and buy their own equipment. It was okay when there were few people, but now that there are more people on the server, there is inevitably room for rent-seeking by power.
For example, Corps A negotiates with player B. We ask you to purchase, and you give us a kickback, and the money slips from military expenses to personal accounts.
Now that military expenditures have been changed to points, and procurement, logistics, and weapon maintenance are collectively responsible for the alliance, there is no longer the problem of using military expenditures to make money for oneself.
For those who didn’t intend to be clever from the beginning, this change is not a weakening. Instead, because the logistics system is handed over to the AI, players can focus more on the front line.
Professor Yang, King of Lightning: "Damn! There are so many restrictions, only a ghost can play with the corps system. I will just let you go to the front line. Wouldn't it be nice for me to run a business myself?"
Ye Wei was immediately happy when he saw this sentence and couldn't help but pick out the words and reply.
"I blindly guessed that your surname is Liu. (Funny)"
Thunder and Lightning Dharma King Professor Yang: "?"
Runaway Mole in the Canyon: "Didn't you qualify for the closed beta? You can't even enter the game, you represent us as a hammer. (Funny)"
Professor Yang, King of Thunder: "I mean what if! What would I do if I were in the game! Hey, you European emperors! You are just luckier than me. If I were in it, I would have graduated with full level and equipment earlier!" ”
Fang Chang suddenly appeared.
"In wartime, it is the obligation of every citizen to fight for the alliance. Giving up the obligation is deemed to give up everything, which includes all property in the game. Don't always think that you are smart, and don't always think that you can represent Others, there should be something else in your life besides playing tricks. It’s really unnecessary to just play a game like this. (Squints)"
The Mole on the run in the canyon: "I agree with Brother Fang, and the gameplay adjustment will not affect the benefits of the corps system. The rewards of the campaign are reflected in the settlement interface. Population, resources, land, etc. are all possible. Add another cold Knowledge, silver coins are just one of the currencies of the new alliance. Your contribution to the alliance will be remembered more clearly than you. (Funny)"
Professor Yang remained silent.
But he still didn't understand.
Why do these T0 and T1 players not feel uncomfortable at all even though this update has taken away the logistics power of the Corps?
On the contrary, it was him, a cloud player who was not even qualified for closed beta testing, who was complaining on their behalf.
Don’t they want to make more money?
Silver coins can be exchanged for money!
Ye Wei could probably guess what this guy was thinking, although he didn't agree with it. This guy may be a little clever and a little accidental, but his structure is not as good as that of a student.
Suppose there is an open loophole in the rules and someone takes advantage of it to make money. If you don't take advantage of it, you will suffer a loss and you will be eliminated from the competition. Therefore, even if they know that taking advantage of loopholes will harm the interests of the collective, individuals will inevitably make choices that are most unfavorable to the collective out of "individual optimal solutions."
When everyone is trapped in the prisoner's dilemma, no one will be the real winner, and the final result must be a lose-lose situation.
For the players in the Alpha round of testing, the New Alliance is a utopia they built in an uninhabited wasteland with their efforts brick by brick. The significance of this game is far more than just a game. , their eyes are much more than just a few silver coins.
Even if there is no reward, they are still willing to pick up their rifles and die generously to protect the land under their feet.
Loss of equipment and experience.
Better than a server reset.
……
Vault 401.
Master Yin, who had been busy all afternoon, finally replaced the new fuel rods and restarted the reactor in the shelter.
As the air purification system started to operate, the light returned to the shelter, and Chu Guang finally received the notification that the mission was completed.
[Administrator permissions for No. 401 have been obtained. 】
"It's done... Speaking of manager rights, what are you going to do?" Yin Fang looked at Chu Guang, "The managers here are dead. If they don't set their last words, the default is to follow the order of numbers. Inherited by living residents——"
Just when Yin Fang was giving Chu Guang advice, Chu Guang stretched out his hand, extinguished the lamp above his head with a gentle wave, and turned it on with a gentle wave.
Yin Fang was stunned.
"...when did you get it?"
"Your reaction is as if it was the first time you saw me using administrator rights in another shelter. Wasn't it the same in shelter 117 before?" Chu Guang gave him a strange look.
Yin Fang's expression was a little strange.
“Isn’t it because of the last words of the previous manager of Vault 117? Forget it, it’s not an important thing anyway.”
Giving up asking for details, Yin Fang followed Chu Guang to the manager's office and recovered the black box there.
The administrator's office in Vault 401 is completely different from that in Vault 117.
The decoration style here is mainly simple, more like a laboratory or archives than an office.
As soon as Yin Fang entered the door, he took aim at the silver coffee machine with a square head and square head on the table. He was as surprised as if he had discovered a new world, and he couldn't put it down and hugged it in his arms.
"KW-8241T type! I've seen it in a magazine! It's incredible that it appears here!"
"Magazine?"
Yin Fang chattered.
"Of course it is a pre-war magazine. This model of coffee machine has 4 more special roasting processes than the KW-8241 prototype, and its appearance is even more academically designed for researchers! Look at this sci-fi look , a layman can’t even find where the water outlet is! Well, it seems to have some malfunction, but the problem is not serious. It should be able to be repaired... Can I take it with me?"
As he spoke, he looked over with hope.
"...It's up to you."
Chu Guang glanced sideways at this guy.
Anyway, I don’t have a hobby of collecting this stuff.
Just take it if you want it.
……
A coffee machine does not take up much load. After Chu Guang recovered the black box together, he took Yin Fang back to the surface.
The shelter has been restarted.
After he returns, he will arrange for staff from the logistics department to clean the place and place the newly produced sleep capsules in various rooms.
The reborn Vault 401 will serve as a newbie village for the B-round test, accommodating at least a thousand new players.
As for the planting area in the refuge, Chu Guang plans to use it for breeding and supply high-quality seeds to the large farmland on the west side of the long-term farm.
Sitting on Nicole's back, on the way back to Shelter 404, Chu Guang turned on the information transmission function of the power armor helmet and took a moment to look at the forum.
The light blue window was projected directly on his retina. Chu Guang picked out a few posts from familiar IDs and took a look.
For the changes in the Beta 0.21 version, players have their own interpretations and opinions.
However, no matter what their views are, reform of the Corps system is imperative.
The new alliance is a united collective and needs united soldiers, not a group of warlords fighting independently.
It is the first part of Chu Guang's military reform plan to return the logistics power to the alliance center and have it uniformly deployed by a specialized logistics department.
In the future, he will take more measures to ensure coordination among the various corps in the system, so that players who choose the corps system can get a better gaming experience.
What surprised Chu Guang was Commander Quan Shui's post.
This guy rarely writes strategies, but this time he wrote a lot.
In addition to a detailed analysis of each branch of doctrine in the Corps system, this guy also asserted at the end of the post that the adjustments to the Beta 0.21 version are in preparation for the new expansion pack.
And the content of the expansion pack.
It is probably related to the "Northern Expedition"!
After reading the post from beginning to end, Chu Guang’s lips curled up into a smile.
"Quite smart."
Although this is obvious.
……
The next day.
North of Shuguang City.
Next to the flat airport runway is the New Alliance military camp.
Currently stationed here are the reorganized First and Second Corps, as well as the Guards Corps wearing light and heavy exoskeletons.
Unlike the players, these soldiers not only wear uniform uniforms, but also have the same weapons in their hands.
Standing next to Chu Guang, Vanus looked quite proud.
"How?"
Looking at the forest of gun flags on the school field, Chu Guang, who was wearing power armor, nodded approvingly and did not be stingy with his praise.
"Very good!"
There are 397 soldiers standing here.
Under the training of Vanus and other former officers of the legion, their physical fitness and fighting will have undergone earth-shaking changes from a few months ago.
A few of them even awakened.
As a standing corps, the main task of these aboriginal soldiers is defense, but this does not mean that Chu Guang will relax his demands on them.
There are far more threats in the wasteland than just predators.
Especially after encountering the torch, Chu Guang realized this more deeply.
Although the players are powerful in combat and have the advantage of being "immortal", the construction of standing corps cannot be slackened.
Players cannot be online 24 hours a day.
There are always things players can't do.
And these things can only be done by people in this world.
After the review is over.
Chu Guang took advantage of everyone's presence and held a combat meeting.
In addition to the corps commanders of the 1st and 2nd Corps, senior officials of the new alliance including Luca from the Logistics Department also participated.
Chu Guang went straight to the topic without wasting time on the opening remarks.
"The Torch's armed forces attacked our transport team escorting the fuel rods, and the remaining armed forces fled north. Although there were only eight people, they were well-equipped and well-trained. If they were allowed to join the Bone Chewing Tribe, , I’m afraid it will cause us big trouble this fall.”
"The current war between the Snake Clan and Honghe Town is at a stalemate, and they are unable to deal with us for the time being. If I were them, I would most likely choose the Ya Clan who are resting in Xizhou City as the target of support, and instigate them to go south, continuing last year That battle ended abruptly."
"Since this battle will be fought sooner or later, let's fight it on their territory."
Excitement appeared on the faces of all the officers in the military camp, and they clenched their fists involuntarily.
Especially the wrench.
During the offensive at the beginning of the year, the guards stationed at Jiujiu Farm suffered heavy losses, and many of his brothers fell in that battle.
However, when those cunning villains saw the Black Snake's defeat, they turned around and ran away with their tails between their legs!
He has waited too long for this moment!
Looking at his subordinates who were highly motivated to fight, Chu Guang put his hands on the map and continued in a serious tone.
"The Northern Expedition will begin next month, and the goal is to expel every Ya clan entrenched in Xizhou City!"
"Before the Northern Expedition begins, we need to prepare at least 30 aircraft, 50 trucks, five million rounds of ammunition and artillery shells - and lay our railway to Yuanxi Town!"
"This war will completely change the pattern of the southern part of the River Valley Province. It is not just about our own destiny. I hope you will overcome all difficulties and do your best to complete the preparations for the war."
"Since neither Great Rift Valley nor Boulder City are willing to take care of those stinky bitches——"
Chu Guang’s right fist landed on the map and he said with firm eyes.
"Then let's go!"
