Evening.
The players returned to the nursing home one after another, and Brother Scrambled Eggs, who was in charge of the spoon, set up a big pot on the open space and started cooking the last meal of the day.
Tonight's recipe is Salt Poached Fetas with Bacon Jerky.
Thanks to the discovery of the new NPC stronghold, the players in the refuge finally had a meal other than fish soup. The taste of this kind of croissant is not bad. After boiling it in salt water and pouring some soy sauce on it, it tastes a bit like KFC mashed potatoes.
However, the problem is the soy sauce.
Just to make these 28 servings of mashed potatoes, almost one-fifth of a bottle of soy sauce was used, and it was still used sparingly.
On the other hand, it seems that the salt in the shelter is not enough, there is only half a bag left.
If it is consumed at this rate, it will take a few days for everyone to live a life of clean soup and white water again.
"Wooooo!! Uncle Scrambled Eggs, can I have another bowl?" Holding the bowl in his hand, Shuri squatted on the ground with a satisfied face.
"No, one bowl per person." Unsatisfied with the word Uncle, Scrambled Eggs rolled his eyes and said angrily.
"Then shall we still eat mashed potatoes tomorrow?" Shuri said pitifully.
"I can't afford it anymore. I don't have much soy sauce. I have to save some. If I want to eat mashed potatoes, then get up and order a takeaway." While talking, Brother Scrambled Eggs sighed in his heart.
Cooking for these guys every day is really frustrating. After working as a chef for so many years, he has never saved so much for the boss, and he can't wait to sprinkle one grain of salt as two grains.
On the other side, Walker, who was sitting in the center of the players, was holding a bowl, talking about what happened during the day, and even forgot to eat.
Especially when talking about the part where he encountered a creeper on the way back, he excitedly put down the bowl in his hand, picked up a branch and scratched it on the ground.
"Walking on the street at that time, I just felt a chill down my spine, and my whole body suddenly became alarmed! It was too late to say it, and I picked up the rifle and rushed over—"
Tomorrow, who was sitting next to him, couldn't listen anymore, and couldn't help tearing down the stage.
"It's still a shuttle. Those who don't know think you have a Gatling in your hand."
Walker let out a dry cough.
"It does not matter!"
"And then? Then? Go on, why did you screw that thing over?"
"That's right, don't interrupt!"
The players next to him didn't care much about these details. They heard the dining room, no matter whether he was bragging or not, they all yelled and continued.
"Don't panic, everyone, listen to me continue, it's too late and then too fast, the moment the creeper pounces on me, I will slide the shovel..."
Walker saw that everyone was so interested, he quickly adjusted his status and resumed the lecture, and continued to describe how he supported the manager who was entangled by alien species, how he licked his bag on the battlefield, including how he was attacked by a bitch when he missed it. Tactical disconnection, cooperate with teammates to fight back to the limit...
Tomorrow rolled his eyes when he heard it, but couldn't take it anymore, so he just took the bowl and changed to another place to eat, out of sight and out of mind.
The sun is about to set.
After carrying Popo down from upstairs, Lucius led the players back to the refuge in batches, watching them lie down in the training cabin and go offline safely.
Except Mr. Garbage who was still playing wild outside, everyone came back.
However, Lucius was not very worried about it.
Through the player list, Lucius could confirm that this guy was still alive, but he had gone offline two hours ago.
No matter how hard you are, it is impossible to hang on to the game 24 hours a day. You always have to get up for a meal, move your limbs and so on.
Besides, the clones in the game also need to rest. No one can stay awake for 24 hours, not even the lizardmen.
According to the information published on the official website. The way to go offline is not the only way to lie back to the training cabin and actively sleep, any behavior of losing consciousness can be disconnected.
Including but not limited to giving yourself a sap in the back of the head, or finding a place to lie down and sleep.
However, this way of logging out is not very reliable. One is that it cannot be 'Archived', and the other is that it is not safe.
The clones quickly synthesized by the training cabin do not have any mind. In other words, in the absence of a conscious body connection, these clones will hardly respond to external stimuli other than conditioned reflexes.
At this time, if a mutated mouse or cockroach happened to pass by, it would gnaw people away one by one.
But Mr. Garbage should have found a safe place to hide, at least for now it's quite safe.
Put aside the matter of Mr. Garbage for the time being. Lucius sat down in front of the computer in the resident's hall, and made statistics and summarized today's work results as usual.
"Construction of the east wall completed."
"In terms of resources, the building material inventory income is 110 logs, one ton of charcoal, one ton of Portland cement, two stacks of yellow mud bricks, and some hardened cement blocks. If consumed, 240 logs, 800 kilograms of cement... The timber inventory has continued It has dropped for two days, but the cement has actually started to have a balance.”
It seems that a few loggers must be arranged. Alternatively, increase the logging requirement for player daily quests.
"Food stock income of 350 kg of green wheat and croissants, 5 catties of bacon, and a small amount of berries and mushrooms. Consumption is about 5 kg of dried bacon, 10 kg of croissants, and 50 kg of bacon and 20 kg of smoked fish for trade ...Tomorrow we have to continue hunting."
"Then fur inventory... In addition to transaction consumption, raw materials consume 5 pieces of fur, today Shuri actually made 5 pieces of clothing? Yes...I think about it, it should be 250 contribution points."
"By the way, there is also an increase in weapons inventory... we need to plan an arsenal in the future."
Finally, today's daily task earns 7 reward points. You can happily open the blind box again.
After summarizing the data, Lucius leaned on the chair and stretched.
At the same time that he was finishing these tasks, the 30 sets in the next room had activated the training cabins, completed the scanning of the clones in the cabins and archived somatic cell sampling, and sent the players' gene sequence development progress and panel data, Summarized on a table.
Lucius glanced briefly.
Perhaps it is because the jobs in the outpost at the current stage are mainly manual labor, and players of the power department obviously generally upgrade faster.
For example, Badass Bunny is now LV3.
In addition, Walker, who has been going out with him, has also upgraded his gene sequence from LV1 to LV2, and his main attribute perception has reached 9, becoming the player with the highest perception attribute in the entire outpost.
"Master!"
Seeing Popo rolling to the side of the table, Lucius looked away from the computer.
"What's wrong?"
"Why did you pick up a strange woman from outside?"
Lucius almost choked on this sentence.
Although there is nothing wrong with saying this, I always feel that it is not right to say it.
"What are you talking about?"
"Popo saw it on the roof, she carried it back."
Lucius said impatiently.
"So what?"
Speaking the electronic voice without ups and downs, Popo said aggrievedly.
"It's nothing, I just want to remind you that compared to the clones that can restrict their movements at any time, the aborigines in the wasteland are more difficult to control. It's better not to trust them too easily."
"You think too much. I have never completely trusted anyone, whether it is the players or the natives here." Lucius said lightly.
"Yeah, I'm relieved then!"
The camera above Popo's head shook up and down, indicating a nod.
"By the way, you can always trust Popo. No matter what happens, Popo will be your most loyal assistant!"
"Okay, got it."
"It's so perfunctory!"
Can't this guy stop for a while it's charging?
Lucius resisted the urge to complain and continued to stare at the computer screen.
It has been more than ten minutes since the players went offline. Not surprisingly, it is the busiest time for the forum on the official website.
It's time for another fun screen peek.
Humming a little song for his own amusement, Lucius opened the background of the official website, and first confirmed the number of reservations.
The little leeks in the bowls have doubled from the previous ones that just broke 100, and now they are almost breaking 300.
Nowadays, the threshold for booking games has changed from filling out the form to filling in the form and answering questions.
Although they are all common-sense questions, if you can read the questions patiently and fill in the blanks, at least you can screen out serious players. Those who can pass can be said to be quite high-quality.
At the same time, the number of visits to the official website has also increased a lot compared to before, with an average daily visits reaching 1,000.
Although not everyone has registered an account, and not everyone has clicked to make an appointment, but at least it shows that the popularity of Wasteland OL in the game circle is getting higher and higher.
It's obviously just a three-no website that doesn't even have record information. Apart from a lot of text settings, there are only a few photos of the construction site. I didn't expect to gather so many people.
Lucius couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"There are still a lot of boring people."
Just right. Anyway, being idle is idle, why not come and work for him in the 'Game'.
Close the background page and enter the forum. As Lucius expected, all the offline players came here to report, and the forum was very lively at the moment.
Including the garbage gentleman who went offline two hours ago, also soaked in the forum.
Picking Up Trash Level 99: [ Damn, I'm really exhausted today, but fortunately, I still got some gains! There is a tire processing factory about 2 kilometers north of the abandoned construction site. There are people patrolling with dogs nearby. It is suspected to be a predator camp, but I am not sure if it is! I plan to take a closer look at it when it gets dark, and then come to the forum to pretend after I confirm. ]
8th Level Gale: [ F*ck! ]
Badass Bunny: [ Damn, why didn’t I see you when you was offline! Also, why can you be online during the day??? ]
Picking Up Trash Level 99: [ If you are a different species, you can too! Don't bullshit, I'll be online after a short break. ]
Quit Smoking: [ Let alone being able to go online during the day, if you let me go online and take a look, I will die without regret! ]
Yaya: [ I'm still resurrecting, God I'm so miserable. ]
Picking Up Trash Level 99: ( ´◡‿ゝ◡`)
Except for Mr. Garbage who was pretending to be there alone, the vast majority of players on the forum were enthusiastically discussing the new NPC brought back by the manager and the newly discovered settlement of survivors.
Especially the latter.
Players are particularly interested.
At the top of a long list of posts, Lucius quickly found an analysis post written by 'Tomorrow Seeker'.
This guy is good at summarizing as always, and his posts are the most popular in the forum. If the conditions are not allowed, Lucius can't help but want to invite him to be the planner of this game.
[... I have to blow a wave of this Alpha0.2 version update! It can be seen that the game official is quite sincere, it has a big conscience! ]
[ The content of this update is far more than just a few optimization items listed on the official website, including new camps, new monster models, larger maps, etc., the content is far richer than I imagined before! ]
[ For example, the Brown Farm that we traded with this time, as soon as I walked under the concrete wall, I was shocked by the official art design of the game. The immersive feeling is difficult to describe in words, whether it is the post-apocalyptic architectural style or the detailed textures of clothing on different NPCs, traces of careful carving can be seen everywhere! Instead of using the original material for sheathing! ]
[ In addition to this, there is also a test of the combat system. On the way back, we were attacked by creepers and had a near-miss battle. Before that, I always thought that this kind of alien species with outrageous combat power only existed in the settings, but I didn't expect that it was actually installed in the current version! ]
[ I have to say something here, our manager is worthy of being a novice guide, and his combat effectiveness is simply ridiculous! The moment the crawler rushed over, Walker and I didn't react. We were almost in the OB, and he was the only one outputting. He just relied on a small water pipe to knock the two-meter-high eater over! It makes my blood boil! ]
[ In addition, for me personally, the most surprising thing is that a new NPC has joined our outpost! Her special identity may bring us more new ways to play, such as weapon modification, or even more branch plots, etc... I think we can look forward to it! ]
[ For more information about the update of Alpha0.2 version, I will continue to update it in the post, and interested friends can follow it! ]
"Ah, how embarrassing."
After reading the post from beginning to end, Lucius was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
But one thing to say, Lucius felt that he was indeed conscientious enough, at least he didn't cheat the players' wallets.
This kind of next-generation game that can liberate dreams and sleep, change goose factory, pig factory to endorse, do you still want to play without charging you?
Don't talk about playing, if you want to move bricks, you have to become a member first!
What?
No money?
That's easy to say, you should have no objection if you are good at plastering, right?
After all, if this is not the case, how to reflect the dignity of RMB soldiers who build walls with plastering knives? Of course, you can also choose to watch two hours of advertisements to unlock member discount coupons.
At least this kind of immoral thing, Lucius can't do it. For the sake of praising his conscience, Lucius added some refinement to Brother Tomorrow's post.
After closing the post casually, just as Lucius was thinking about what to do to pass the long night, Popo's voice of resentment came from beside him.
"Master."
"The woman you picked up is awake."
