A total of 1 minute to promote the PV.

After all, it is a PV for painting cakes, and there are not many shots for the players, only the first 21 seconds.

In the only 21 seconds, considering that the equipment level of the players and the mutants is too low to be appreciated, Lucius simply used a still shot to show the axes, bows, and arrows flying in the sky, and the flames sprayed by iron-pipe rifles, A 2-second slow-motion close-up of the bullets bursting out of the chamber.

And it is accompanied by slow and melodious classical music, which adds a touch of black humor to the brutal and bloody war scenes.

At 0 minutes and 17 seconds, the BGM stopped suddenly, and the screen accelerated like an arrow leaving the string. The frozen ax flew toward the player standing behind the cover. The bullet shot into the mutant's chest, and blood splattered!

In 18 seconds, a mutant removed the car door, pulled out a blunt rusty knife, roared and charged.

The rhythm suddenly accelerated!

Every frame and every second is a burning point!

In 3 seconds, the originally stalemate situation exploded like a ignited powder keg.

At 0 minutes and 21 seconds, the players are in a precarious situation, and they are about to be rushed to the face by the mutants, but at this moment, four power armors suddenly enter the battlefield from the side of the street like heavenly soldiers!

Electromagnetically accelerated metal projectiles set off a bloodbath on the street. The green-skinned muscular man fell down screaming, and was smashed into a sieve together with the concrete wall and vehicle wreckage beside him.

The battle situation instantly turned into a one-sided massacre!

The mutants on the street died one after another.

The last naked mutant roared and threw the powder keg in his hand, symbolizing the last barbarism.

The focused lens gave a slow-motion close-up of the gunpowder barrel flying in mid-air. The bursting fire was followed by an uninjured combat boot that stepped out of smoke, and a green-skinned corpse that fell heavily. There was an impassioned heavy metal music!

As for the shot of the Marine Corps soldier being bombarded, Lucius certainly didn't stay in the PV to affect the overall rhythm, and cut it cleanly.

Accompanied by the fast-paced BGM, the Power Armor went all the way from the main road into the alleys between the ruins. A total of 15 minutes of street fighting and siege of strongholds were all condensed into 30 seconds of essence!

No peeing at all!

In less than two minutes after the PV was uploaded, the comment area below the video suddenly exploded with hundreds of comments, and the number continued to increase.

④ Who Understands: "F*ck?! Is this a game PV or a movie?!"

Little Match for Selling Girls: "ヽ⁠༼⁠⁰⁠o⁠⁰⁠;⁠༽⁠ノ! I actually saw the feeling of a Hollywood blockbuster from the game PV!"

Ninjas in Pajamas: "I'm so blown away by this picture and special effects!"

The Thunder King: "F*ck, is this in the game? Or is it a CG made separately? The destruction effect of this scene is too amazing, and the flying stones are just like the real thing!"

Master Of Love: "Hehe, look at you who have never seen the world, please buy a movie ticket and go to the cinema to see it. Which of those Bollywood IMAX blockbusters is better than this one? It's not that I am black, it is You brag, this CG special effect is only at the level of a domestic 18th-tier small team, and I can pick out two hundred of all kinds of unreasonable problems. My uncle opened an animation company in Japan, and any intern word is better than this."

Irena: "Did I remember it wrong? How do I remember that your ancestors were in the prairie, and each person could open a 300 kg bow?٩(˘◡˘)۶"

Lucius, who was sitting in front of the computer and peeping at the screen, almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Watching pets and pretending to be cool almost became his daily source of happiness.

There is nothing wrong with saying this. After all, this is really not a special effect!

Every frame of this promotional PV was shot by Popo controlling the drone under his command.

At most, I edited the shooting material and added a BGM and filter to make the visual impact of the film stronger.

However, Lucius didn't expect that the pictures he took would be mistaken for special effects by those netizens?

It seems that I am very talented as a director.

Looking at the rainbow fart on the hundredth floor, Lucius couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

I can make more films in the future!

Edge Paddle: "F*ck! This is actually a picture from the game? I was there at the time!"

Fast And The Curious: "Game screen?! Brother, which one is you?"

Richest Elf King: "The one squatting on the ground!"

Kakarot From The Future: "Hahaha! Cowardly!"

Edge paddling: "Get out! I'm changing equipment! (angry)"

Night Commander: "Go and watch for 21 seconds! That corpse on the ground is mine! Haha, I'm posting a PV!"

Tabletop Cop: And that guy who is holding the gun and shooting those damn mutants in the corner is me, I am giving them cover fire, hahaha. I look like a real commando.

Picking Up Trash Level 99: "I just want to ask, can lizardmen wear this thing? (⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠-̩̩̩⁠)"

Roushaa The Big Momo: "Can Bears be okay? (⁠。⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠)"

Picking Up Trash Level 99: "I'll give you some wool to wear! You're not on it! Damn!"

Irena: "I don't think it's useless to give it to you, so give it to me. (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)"

Picking Up Trash Level 99: "F*ck(◣◢)┌∩┐!"

The posts on the entire forum were all discussing the 1-minute PV and the high-tech equipment that appeared in the PV. Even the enthusiasm for the Alpha 0.7 update was overwhelmed!

In fact, think about it.

There are 10,000 to 20,000 active IPs on the entire forum, but only 250 have actually obtained the beta test qualification and entered the game, and 150 new small players are still on the way.

Although they are all cakes! But full-color cakes are more delicious than black and white cakes!

Lucius briefly glanced at the comment area below the video. Except for the beta players who blow the picture and blow the special effects and the crazy Amway beta testers, there are only two issues that most cloud players care about.

One is, will the corpses all over the ground be too bloody?

Another one is the most popular question——

When will "Wasteland OL" be public?

Half an hour had passed since the PV was uploaded, and Lucius glanced at the number of reservations.

Good guy. Actually jumped directly from 2333 to 5777!

And this is when the reservation threshold has been raised to 100 questions!

"It feels like it's going to be hot." Lucius couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

In addition to some small players who are still stubborn, many players who had firmly believed that this game could not exist have also started to waver.

How to say. It's not bad to believe it?

At least in view of the fact that this PV animation does not start with a dog, nor does it copy dragon back cavalry, there is nothing wrong with ordering an appointment to support it.

What if it is true? Isn't that blood earned?

Lucius didn't know how to respond to the players' voices for the public beta. This not only depends on whether the system will give him face, but also depends on whether he needs so many people at present.

Just shout, he is used to it anyway.

As we all know, you have to wait for a good game. Would you be ashamed to say that you are a 3A masterpiece without skipping tickets for two or three years?

For example, a certain cyberpunk, if the pre-order players hadn't pressed too hard, would they have served a plate of Shet? If it is released in 2077, there will definitely not be so many bugs!

Lucius promised that he will definitely test it before Ai 6 goes online.

Of course, in case the sales of Ai 5 suddenly plummeted. Then pretend he didn't say it.

What shocked the players' attention was not only the promotional VP, but also the CG of the "Pioneer" Land Fortress.

The huge and heavy steel chassis and the mighty heavy-duty crawlers perfectly fit the industrial party's aesthetics for megastructure projects. And the box-shaped buildings on the track and chassis, and the simple modular design, hit the XP of sci-fi players.

Many netizens inquired in the forum, which artist's work this CG is.

...

The Cowboy Club group.

Recently, this group has become a "Wasteland OL" game group. Every day, a few big pens discuss things in Wasteland OL.

As soon as the Alpha0.7 version was updated this time, the group became lively instantly.

Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Damn, the official website has been taken over by cloud players! It's been half an hour since the Alpha 0.7 version came out, and I didn't see a few posts about the new version! I'm so angry!"

8th Level Gale: "Calm down, this is normal. I just took a look and the number of reservations is almost 6,000. You have to understand the friends who are still queuing up in the forum."

Tomorrow Seeker: "+1, I don't feel anything anyway, more people are more lively, no one is still pretending to be aggressive. "

Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Damn! Then why do you control me when I'm pretending!"

Badass Bunny: "You are not pretending, you are repeatedly jumping around and pulling hatred under the nose of the planner. Okay, let's not talk nonsense, have you read the update announcement? The content of this update seems a bit awesome !"

Tomorrow Seeker: "The new expansion pack, can you not be awesome? I've already prepared it anyway! As soon as the quartermaster Npc comes out, I'll start working on it! (⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠"

Get Up Ten Times A Night: "Wait, what's about the dungeon of Devil Moth?"

Tomorrow Seeker: "Don't panic, everything has a priority. If you want to stay in T0, you must follow the version. Let's find out the situation of the expansion pack first! As for the greenhouse ruins, there are 7 days, even if it is overdue. It doesn't matter, the big deal is to spend some money to shoot it at that time. At most, it will lose 50%, it doesn't matter."

8th Level Gale: "Indeed, this expansion pack of Land Sailing seems to have activity points exclusive to the expansion pack. I can see it quite clearly. After the expansion pack is over, not only will there be limited titles, but also a lottery."

Badass Bunny: "I'm more concerned about the mysterious gift for the top ten scores. I don't know what will be rewarded. If you build a power armor, it will be awesome. It's not easy to kill a few moths. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)"

Scrambled Eggs: "Sigh, I don't know if the chef will come in handy. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠༼⁠ ⁠ಥ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠ಥ⁠ ⁠༽⁠_⁠/⁠¯"

Keeping People Under The Knife: "Calm down, the local players is satisfied to have a close look at the land fortress on the CG, as for the others, it is not important anymore!"

WC Really Has Mosquitoes: "By the way, we are helping to repair the land fortress, right? I glanced at the CG, how should this thing be repaired? Have you ever seen this thing in real life?"

Tomorrow Seeker: "No, but game developers certainly didn't expect players to think about props in this sci-fi background. I guess it should be a new map, and then arrange a few NPCs, release some scavenging or exploration. Tasks such as collecting materials needed for repairing equipment. As for the specific repair work, it must be done by NPC.”

8th Level Gale: "That makes sense, but in that case, isn't this new expansion pack equivalent to picking up trash in another place?"

Tomorrow Seeker: "Uh, then I don't know. I feel that there should be a plot line when such a thigh suddenly appeared? Why don't you try to bring Light out? He must know, but I guess he may not tell you anything. ƪ⁠(⁠˘⁠⌣⁠˘⁠)⁠ʃ"

Quit Smoking: "Yessss!!! Planner dad is amazing! Brother Light, I love you! Hahahahaha, I finally got it! (⁠ノ⁠≧⁠∇⁠≦⁠)⁠ノ⁠ ⁠ミ⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻"

Get Up Ten Times A Night: "?"

8th Level Gale: "??"

Badass Bunny: "???"

Picking Up Trash Level 99: "What the hell?"

...

There are a total of 100 questions in the survey questionnaire for reserved players.

It includes 30 general knowledge questions, 20 optional bonus questions on design expertise, 40 subjective questions on personality, logical thinking, and personality portraits, and 10 demining questions on fishing and law enforcement.

These 100 questions determine the weight score of each reservation player, as well as the user's crowd portrait label. The two are also used as a reference for the issuance of test qualifications, and will not be displayed on any user-visible page, nor will the data be sold to a certain treasure, fully taking care of the user's privacy.

Players with scores between 100 and 60 and who meet the requirements of the current version can enter the lottery pool for issuing beta qualifications.

Among them, every 10 is divided into a stall, and the number of places issued by different stalls is different.

In principle, the higher the score, the greater the probability of being qualified for the beta test. A low score does not mean that there is no chance at all, but the chances are relatively few.

In addition, the demining question of fishing law enforcement does not add or subtract points, but if you step on the mine in the option, the hidden weight points will be cleared directly.

For example, in the question "What is your dream career?" ticked a Predator, or in the multiple-choice question "What is the fun way to play in the old scroll 5 or radiation series games?" To hook a massacre.

A lot of things are written in the user's manual, and the hook is so fast that it can't be said anymore. Answer the questions without reading carefully, or fill in the questions without taking it seriously, then wait for the public beta.

Except for some players with special talents who will be qualified by default due to background marks, most of the qualifications for the closed beta are issued through this form.

As for the appointment time, it will not affect the probability.

If you don't win the lottery for several consecutive editions...

Either because he was on the blacklist, or because his luck was really black.

Lucius didn't notice happy Quit Smoking guy. In fact, he didn't even log on to the chat group. After browsing the official website, he focused on his system.

The task of exterminating the mutant tribe rewarded 200 reward points, which can be described as getting rich overnight.

Lucius, who had just finished drawing two high-end blind boxes, was able to happily touch the prize again.

"211 reward points... just open 2 advanced blind boxes and 11 basic blind boxes first."

An intermediate blind box is meaningless. Lucius is not very short of medicine, and his players seem to have no need for medicine. After a few battles, they basically give up treatment for major injuries, and lie down in the training cabin for minor injuries.

So far, Lucius has stockpiled several bandages, and he also has a healing needle, so it doesn't make much sense to give him another one.

Unless you get a needle that adds attributes, you should still stock it up, it's better to bet on the basic blind box. It is not a loss to prescribe lollipops with attributes, but it is blood profit to prescribe seasonings.

The alloy door on the wall trembled.

Looking at the things brought in front of him by the conveyor belt, Lucius held his breath excitedly, and couldn't help but swear.

"F*ck! This is—"

Mechanical Exoskeleton?!

He actually saw an exoskeleton on the conveyor belt!

The streamlined shape, the powerful alloy bracket, and the layers of nails attached to the bracket!

Lucius couldn't describe his excitement at the moment.

His exoskeleton is finally no longer just a "Skeleton"!

【 Type 5 "Light Cavalry" Light Police Exoskeleton. 】

【 Explanation: Compared with the Type 6 heavy police exoskeleton, the Type 5 light police exoskeleton not only has light weapon defense, but also has stronger mobility and longer battery life, and is suitable for various scenarios. It should be noted that although the composite armor made of polymer materials can resist ordinary bullets, the material itself is not durable. It is best not to imagine yourself as a power armor and leave the bunker recklessly. If you encounter a bandit with fierce firepower, please call for support. In addition, if conditions permit, please use it with body armor as much as possible. 】

Lucius roughly glanced at the detailed parameters of this police exoskeleton. Whether it is battery life or load-bearing capacity, the attributes of this exoskeleton are far higher than his KV-1!

But it's also obvious. After all, the KV-1 exoskeleton is a general-purpose model produced by Boulder City. Except for a battery that can be called black technology, other parts are not considered very clever technology at all.

But this set of "Light cavalry" is different.

Not only is this thing from before the war, but it is also police equipment! In the words of MM, the prefix of the equipment is one rank higher than [ Civilian equipment ]!

In addition to the carbon nano protective suit that Lucius has been wearing close to his body, he now has two sets of body armor. This sense of security is simply not too strong!

"It's decided, the eliminated equipment will be sold to players!"

"The KV-1 exoskeleton bought from Liszt needs 800 chips. Let me think about it... well, just sell it for 800 silver coins!"

After all, it is the armor worn by Master Manager, so it is not too expensive to sell it, right?

In order to make players feel that the value for money is excellent, Lucius decided to give his exoskeleton a name for a while, and then make up a story with twists and turns.

Lucius, who wore the exoskeleton, stood in front of the mirror and looked at his face for a while, no matter how handsome he looked.

"That's right, it's like that!"

"It's the embodiment of justice!"

This equipment is simply tailor-made for myself!

After finally getting over the excitement, Lucius then looked at another piece of equipment lying on the conveyor belt.

Just looking at the shape of this equipment, you can feel that it is not simple.

The triangular stock, the black gun body, and two long magnetic rails extending from the gun body, with a hollow in the middle, looks like a ridiculously long tuning fork from a distance.

A light blue label floated beside it, answering all the confusion in Lucius's mind——

【 Type 20 "Needle" Gauss Rifle. 】
