This Game Is Too Realistic

Xia Yan was totally wasted.

Taking the advantage that Chu Guang was distracted by other matters, the woman actually took out all the money she had to buy alcohol.

She always spent money like there was no tomorrow. It always made Chu Guang wonder how she was able to survive for so long.

But...

This also seemed to be the most realistic portrayal of the wastelanders.

Even if tomorrow was hell, they would still live in the present moment without any worries!

"Burp... I can still drink!" Xia Yan, with long red hair scattered on her shoulders, murmured while holding a cup.

"No one’s stopping you." Gently pushing Xia Yan’s head that had leaned against his shoulder to the armrest beside her, Chu Guang, who was sitting on the bench at the North Gate Market, took a sip of the wine. After tasting the slightly astringent sweetness, he smacked his lips and stopped.

Because of the psychological shadow in his previous life, he restrained himself and did not drink too much. After all, if he drank too much again, he might just die again! Moreover, he did not have the confidence that he would be able to respawn.

It’s totally not because I’m afraid or anything.

Chu Guang thought to himself.

In the distance, the nomads also joined the celebration of the players. Those who were able to sing and dance quickly won the applause and cheers of the players.

"Sir… Although I don’t want to ruin your mood, the food we consumed today was a bit too much. The raw meat at the special offer stall is almost sold out, and there is not much grain left." Walking to Chu Guang, Luca bowed and said cautiously, "Those nomads used all the silver coins you gave them to buy shofar potatoes, and they didn’t use them in celebrations after they bought them, they brought them back to their tribe."

There was another thing he didn’t dare to mention. That was how the players were such big eaters and they were eating too damn much! It was as though they wanted to fill their stomachs up with two meals in the span of one.

However, the status of the shelter residents was higher than his, and Luca, who had the concept of superiority and inferiority carved into his bones, dared not overstep the slightest, so he could only pick on the faults of the nomads.

"It’s fine, the banquet won’t be held every day." Chu Guang smiled lightly, "Taking these things out is exactly to make everyone happy. So don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."

For those players, it’s just a game after all. Therefore, it was important to make them happy.

The day just happened to be one that was worthy of celebration, so taking some materials out to hold an event for the players would also help to boost morale and improve the server environment.

There were always people on the forums complaining that Wasteland Online was not a casual game.

He wanted to use this opportunity to prove them wrong.

Judging by how the players looked, they were having a lot of fun.

Seeing that his master said so, Luca stopped talking, bowed his head respectfully and left.

...

"Bleghhh, I can’t drink anymore."

"Then don’t drink it."

"Water..."

"Stop moving around, and stay still."

Carrying Xia Yan back to the shelter, Chu Guang She threw her on the bed, and left her crutches on the side of her bed.

Her pupils were dilated, her eyes were blurred, and her cheeks were redder than her hair, spreading all the way to her earlobes. The button on her neckline was scraped open, revealing her collarbone and the top half of her bosoms.

Chu Guang covered her with a quilt.

Seriously. This woman’s alcohol tolerance is hot garbage.

Do the pubs in Boulder Town sell boiled water or something?

Chu Guang had heard her bragging more than once about how much she could drink, but it seemed that she was merely exaggerating.

Xiaoyu, who was sitting in the room, blinked and looked at the other side of the room curiously. "Did she drink?"

She had tasted wine once, and only once. It was brought by her elder sister-in-law from her home when she married into the Yu Family.

She still remembered the taste to this day. It was astringent and bitter, and it wasn’t delicious at all.

Her dad also said that when she got married, he would also prepare a bottle for her to be taken to her husband’s home. But she didn’t want to drink it at all, it would be nice if it could be replaced by candy...

"Mhm, she drank too much," Chu Guang put a bottle of milk on the table, "if she wakes up later and asks for water, give her this... Please look after her."

Xiaoyu nodded vigorously and said seriously, "Mhm! Leave it to me!"

Such a good kid.

It would be nice if everyone at the shelter was as well-behaved and sensible as Xiaoyu.

That way, he would be able to focus on getting more players.

Resisting the urge to stroke her head, Chu Guang rewarded her with a chocolate-flavored lollipop and instructed her to keep it for the next day. He turned back to the lobby and turned on his computer.

As always, he took a look at the forum first.

The vast majority of players had already gone offline, and there were only some newbies cleaning up their final tasks, and Lifestyle Profession players who were trying to complete the orders they had taken.

Chu Guang glanced at the posts on the forum.

As expected, just a few minutes after he carried Xia Yan back to the shelter, those idiots began to spread rumors about him again.

Tail: Breaking news! I saw the administrator carrying the Weapon Shop Owner back to the shelter! (｀?′)Ψ

Mosquito: Shocked! The real Weapon Shop Owner is actually our administrator!

Elf Wang: I even saw them enter the same room!

Quit Bullshit: Right, right! They were in there for ten minutes straight!

Night Ten: OMO, the administrator only lasts ten minutes?

Irene: Your discussion made me feel like I missed an update. You can just tell me how old their child is. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Escaping Mole: Is there anyone here brilliant in adding details? Mosquito said that he is willing to spend some cash.

Mosquito: No money, no money. I went bankrupt today. QAQ

Escaping Mole: Sigh, you’re completely useless! Do I have to do everything myself?

Night Ten: Old Brother Mole is awesome! (Cracking voice!)

Seeing the group of idiots begin to make up fake details, Chu Guang, who was browsing the forum, couldn’t hold back anymore. He quickly sent something else into the conversation.

Light: You guys need to stop. Other than that kind of pictures, this kind of text is also not allowed.

Escaping Mole: Damnit! I’m going to write outside! Brothers, follow me!

Night Ten: Go! Go! Go!

Tail: Let’s Go!(｀?′)Ψ"

"..." Chu Guang was struck speechless.

In addition to those non-serious posts, there were also serious discussions on the forum.

For example, a newcomer named Spring Water Commander shared his experience of getting drunk in the game all the way until he was disconnected in his post, as well as his imagination.

"This is shocking! The drunk effect of this game is too real. It turns out that if you drink too much, you will get disconnected! After a wave of rational analysis, I think that when you need to temporarily log off in the game, you can finish a whole bottle of vodka. "

This idea seems good, but the player obviously forgot to think about how he would return after being disconnected. If they were too drunk, they probably wouldn’t be able to return to the game any time soon. Also, even if they did, they would suffer from a debuff that made them dizzy.

Sure enough, someone complained at the bottom of the post.

Construction Boy: Don’t listen to what this guy said, the debuff will last for more than two hours! You won’t be able to get into the game for two hours after drinking. And the most important thing is... After you get drunk, you might even pee your pants! If you want to embarrass yourself, you can try it. I don’t dare to do it anyway. T.T

Night Ten: Using alcohol to log out of the game is so lame. Brother, you should ask Boss Yaya for a mushroom, it’s much faster that way. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Yaya: Shut up! You this is slander! When have I ever sold poisonous mushrooms?! (`Д′*)9

Irene: Scared. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Although drinking will cause a series of debuffs, the experience from drunk to blackout is not as realistic as it was in real life. However, everyone still had rave reviews about the fact that they could drink in Wasteland Online.

Especially some players who were allergic to alcohol. In reality, they did not dare to drink a drop of alcohol. In the game, they finally experienced the feeling of being drunk once.

Although… Everyone said that experiencing it once in their life was enough. Also, fighting with the connection problem to enter Wasteland Online was too much.

Aside from the discussion of the celebration, the discussion on the forum was largely focused on the task of where they liberated Baker Street.

Some smart players found some interesting things after carefully observing the NPCs.

Those NPCs were so intelligent that they were like living people, each with their own unique life trajectory.

And this trajectory was also different from Red Dead Redemption, it was not pre-programmed, but it seemed more like it had been calculated in real time.

If it weren’t for too many unscientific explanations, they would not be able to help themselves but suspect that those NPCs were all played by customer service assistants.

Just like the staff of escape rooms, or dungeon masters of a Murder Mystery Game.

Eye Owe Money: This game is too real! Although it is a selling point, sometimes it is very troublesome if it is too real. This is the first time that I have seen a game asking players to build a novice village. And it’s not only building houses, but the NPCs in the village also have to be discovered by players before they can be a part of the game.

Old White: Haha, isn’t this very interesting? Watching the game world change bit by bit because of us… Isn’t it better than simply farming monsters?

The earliest outpost had nothing but a broken building. It was also surrounded by dense trees in all directions.

With all their hard work, there were not only city walls, trenches, but also full granaries and warehouses. Level B2 of the shelter has also been unlocked, and the administrator has also been equipped with legendary armor.

Thinking that he had a share of the credit, the sense of achievement and pride Old White was feeling was so full that it was about to overflow.

Virtual reality games are too awesome!

This_lord_is_arrogant_what_can_you_do: Lmao, how is this interesting? I suggest you play a few more games to gain more knowledge, so as not to appear too ignorant. Have you played the Elder Scrolls 5? You retards probably haven’t even heard of it, right? The NPCs and players in Morrowind were once slaughtered by this lord alone, and eventually the GM had to chat with me privately, begging me to be merciful. To thank me, not only did they remove my red name status, but they also gave me a year of VIP status.

Gale: Haha, Brother, do you think anyone would believe you?

Old White: Hahaha! Let’s not ruin this little brother’s mood. Let him keep talking.

Elf Wang: Sigh, I suddenly felt that it’s better not to have the public beta. Otherwise, if a group of trolls come in, I feel like I won’t be able to enjoy the game anymore. T.T

Night Ten: You are worrying too much, you think children will play this game? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Ample Time: It’s good to release the test qualifications slowly now, but the game company also has to make money. The public beta is a matter of time, and it depends on how the gaming company will handle it.

Lightning Professor: Seriously guys, can you not give the game company some bad suggestions? I haven’t got the qualification yet! T.T

Night Ten: There are a lot of people waiting in line, please be patient. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

...

The next day.

The messenger from Brown Farm brought the promised gifts.

A total of 1.5 tons of grain was stuffed into four caravans, pulled by two-headed cows, and delivered to the warehouse gate of the outpost.

I didn’t expect Brown Farm to keep cattle as well.

Chu Guang stroked his chin and thought about it.

Not knowing what the messenger saw from the gazes of the administrator, he was so frightened that he didn’t dare to wait for a second. After getting the promise of maintaining the friendly relationship, he immediately took the slaves and rushed back to Brown Farm.

After sending away the messenger, it was already noon. Yu Hu rushed to the outpost from Baker Street with a handwritten letter from Old Charlie.

The envelope contained the laws he drafted overnight.

Chu Guang glanced at it, and after confirming that there was no major problem, he signed his name and indicated the date. With that, the document would take effect from then on.

Establishing the law was the first step in establishing order. The first draft did not need to be too complicated. It would be best if it was simple enough even illiterate scavengers would understand what to do.

As for the regulations subdivided into various fields and industries, as well as the detailed interpretation clauses of various laws… Those could be further regulated in subsequent implementations.

Just like the Player’s Handbook that has been updated to version 4.0, it told everyone what could be done and what couldn’t be done. In the earliest version 1.0, there were only a few lines written on it.

At present, Baker Street was only a small village with more than 100 households, and Old Charlie had enough time to explore the rules suitable for survivors in the wasteland.

Chu Guang believed that Old Charlie was competent enough to be the town mayor of Baker Street.

The old butler knew enough about Baker Street, so it shouldn’t be a difficult task for him.

In addition to the town mayor, there were also the candidates for the guard captain.

The original guard captain was the trusted aide of the old town mayor, so naturally it was impossible to use him again. It was already kind enough not to search his house and drive him out.

After thinking about it, Chu Guang finally decided to give the job to Yu Xiong, the eldest son of the Yu Family.

Compared with his younger brother Yu Hu, he was more experienced, and he was more cautious than Yu Hu.

The most important thing was that he was already married, and he would have children soon. Those who were married would always be more stable than those who were not.

The original guards on Baker Street had been disbanded and there were no defenses at all. To avoid chaos, new guards had to be recruited as soon as possible.

Considering that Baker Street was too far from the player’s resurrection point, they could only select guards from the local population.

In the follow-up work, the guard captain not only needed to maintain law and order on Baker Street, but also needed to organize patrols to remove high-threat mutants near them.

Patrols could be made up by mixing players and NPCs, and he would be able to do stuff like that by releasing missions.

Chu Guang planned to repair the wall of Baker Street when they had extra building materials, so as to accommodate more survivors.

Of course, the current top priority was to develop the stronghold in Linghu Wetland Park.

Although the broadcast he heard at the old leech’s house was full of static, it still revealed some useful information.

Unrest appeared to be intensifying in the northern River Valley Province, with more people migrating from the north to the south.

If the news was accurate, Linghu Wetland Park, located at the gateway to the northern suburbs of Clearspring City, would soon welcome a new wave of refugees.

For the budding outpost, it would undoubtedly be a serious test!
