This Game Is Too Realistic

Seven o'clock.

As players went offline one after another, the official website gradually became lively.

Twelve hours have passed since the Alpha 0.3 version went live. Whether it was the prospective players who had already applied but had not qualified or players who had not even applied, both were waiting for the first-hand information of the new version.

Chu Guang sent the meal to Xia Yan then hummed a little song back to the computer and sat down, opened the forum and started to watch the screen.

The first post was Mr. Garbage's.

[Finally confirmed today! The tire factory three kilometers north of the abandoned construction site is a marauder camp! The population there is probably between 50 and 100! I wanted to take one back, but they had more people. Fortunately, those people were obviously scared of me. I knocked out the dog that was biting my arm and ran away while they were reloading. ]

[Damn, the dog almost bit my tail off! The marauder I encountered this time is far more fierce than last time! ]

Chu Guang: "..."

‘What is written in this post is different from what I heard half an hour ago.'

Didn't Chu Guang remember this guy saying that he didn't take the initiative to provoke those marauders? That the injury was due to a collision with Marauder's patrol when he returned?

However, according to the statement in the post, it seemed like he had taken the initiative to catch a prisoner.

This player wasn't honest.

Chu Guang thought for a while, then shook his head.

Forget it, it didn't matter.

The first posts usually wouldn't contain a lot of information.

Regarding Mr. Garbage's marauder camp, the veterans in the forum had heard him brag about it for three full days. But in the end, after squatting for three days, he ran away.

Everyone expressed their refusal to accept it in the replies.

Quit_smoking: [What the hell do you mean between 50 and 100? How many are there! You are even worse than the teletubbies as a scout. ]

Irene: [I already took off my pants, but you ran away. (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

This_lord_is_arrogant_what_can_you_do: [Trash, it's just less than a hundred, why did you run away? Don't you know how to kite? You just need to kill one at a time, and then you will be able to kill all of them after a few repetitions. Bah, what am I talking about, this game doesn't exist at all!]

Good_names_are_taken_by_dogs: [Positions! Noob! ]

Sisi: [You have a special class, but you can't even defeat a jungle monster, shame on you. You should let me play it! ]

Garbage_pickup_level_99: [? ? ? Kite my ass! Damn it! What kind of jungle monsters know to tactically outflank and even release dogs! ]

Quit_smoking: [Just give me your access permission and I'll show it to you. ]

Garbage_pickup_level_99: [You think I'm a fool! ]

The post was completely derailed, and it turned into Brother Lizard arguing with other people. It was just like when Ya Ya died and went to the forum to beg for forgiveness.

However, no matter how he described the situation at the time, he couldn't change the fact that he was labeled as a noob in the hearts of other players.

Perhaps, only when the camera function was released in the future, would he be able to prove that he was not a noob.

Chu Guang knew the combat effectiveness of those marauders very well.

These people may not have strong equipment and had poor physical fitness and discipline like goblins in fantasy worlds, but they almost maxed out their street fighting talent.

After all, since the first year of the Wasteland Era, these people have never stopped fighting. Predatory genes have long been integrated into their blood and bone, and have been passed on for countless generations.

After appreciating the beautiful profanity in Mr. Garbage's post, Chu Guang closed the post and continued to browse around the forum.

It has been a while since the players went offline, and a lot of high-quality content has begun to emerge.

What surprised Chu Guang most was that many new faces he met for the first time emerged in these high-quality contents.

For example, an ID called "The_Escaping_Mole".

Chu Guang took a look at his profile. He was a newcomer to the game in Alpha 0.2 version.

It could be judged from his message history that he found the official website of Wasteland Online through the link shared by his friends because of the urban legend circulating in the stand-alone gaming community.

In one sentence, it was also a guy who was more idle at night.

"Mole Express: Hardcore Observations on the New Version! Non-testing players and newbies, please don't click!"

"Hello everyone, I am your big-nosed mole. After I went online today, I found a big update in the game. The development team finally fulfilled one of the promises they made. I really love the new version! Good!"

"Let's start with the conclusion: the newly designed economic system is awesome! Although there are only a few simple supply chains at present, some details are enough to see the ambition of the development team! They are indeed playing a long game!"

"But I won't talk about nonsense here, just briefly talk about my findings, which may bring you some help!"

"There are currently two low-threshold and high-return ways to make money recognized in the game; one is to produce cement, and the other is to hunt. The former has stable income and can be operated by a single person, but you need to be fast because there are not many people needed every day. The latter's income is unstable with a demand on equipment, and it is almost impossible to do it alone. If you want to take the hunter route, it is best to form a team with a perception type player!"

"There is no technical content in producing cement, only the hunter gameplay is discussed here!"

"A mutated hyena weighing 30 kilograms can be sold directly to the granary for 5 silver coins, and 12 kilograms of raw meat can be obtained after some time slaughtering. If obtained, then it would be worth 40 silver coins in an instant. Isn't it amazing?"

"Of course, what I'm talking about here is just value! Value! This is the most important."

"The granary at the outpost does not accept raw meat, only unprocessed prey and dried meat that can be directly preserved. And like other games, there is a price difference in NPC shops, such as dried meat. It takes 5 silver coins to buy a kilogram, but if you recycle it, you will only be given 1 silver coin per kilogram. However, five times the price difference is really ridiculous!"

"If you sell the dried meat that you made from the prey you caught yourself to NPCs, you might earn some money, but if you buy raw meat from the NPC shop and smoke it yourself, you might even lose money!"

"But it's actually not that bad. I've seen even worse practices in other games. This is nothing. Especially for online games, where things bought with 1,000 game currency that can only be sold for 1 game currency are almost the common practice. The genius of this game designer is that it uses the difference between buying and selling goods in the NPC shop to encourage players to trade, rather than buying inventory from the NPC."

"Here is a small idea. The hunting team can find one or two players to cooperate to slaughter the prey and make it into dried meat and fur."

"Part of the dried meat can be sold to players at a price lower than that of the granary. One kilogram can be split into ten. You can get 1-9 silver coins depending on what price you sell it on according to yourself and other players' wallets. It doesn't matter if you can't sell it out. If you sell it to the granary before dark, you can still make money."

"This operation will take more time, but the theoretical income of a mutant hyena can at least double. Isn't it great?"

"Moreover, according to my research, trading is actually also a gameplay, but at present, it is difficult to operate and unprofitable. It takes 5 silver coins to buy a kilogram of bacon at the NPC store, and shipping it to Brown Farm can exchange 5 kilograms of grain (in theory). The latter is only worth 5 silver coins when it is transported back to the outpost! And this is the price of the NPC shop! The price will be lower if it is sold to NPCs or players. It will only bankrupt you."

"Considering that the name of the current expansion is ‘Winter is Coming', it is estimated that the testing focus of the development team is not on the trading system. I am very much looking forward to the next version where the development team can focus on the development of the trading system."

"An economic system with no exports but domestic sales is incomplete. Isn't it more interesting to balance the relationship between production and import and export through tariffs and prices? Please consider it! Development team! Of course, only if the server CPU allows it."

Chu Guang finished reading the post and hit the like button, but did not comment.

The idea is good, but it is of little significance at this stage.

Keyboard economists often fall into the misunderstanding of idealists. Excessive grand narratives actually would not help solve the current problems.

From the perspective of the game designer and players, this rich game playability opinion is really good.

But from the perspective of the shelter 404 administrator, it's a different story.

For Chu Guang, everything in the shelter, even the players' bodies, is his. Why should he let them do business with his neighbors using his things?

Unless they could do better than him.

But this was obviously impossible.

Even Chu Guang himself was often alienated and suspected by some scavengers on Bett Street because of his accent, and because of his lack of understanding of the market and rules, even if he had previous life sales experience, he couldn't use it at all.

This was a wasteland.

A dystopian made of a collection of scum and villains.

Compared to a well-behaved banker or economist, a scammer who sells bad financial derivatives would live longer in this world.

If he let the players go to do business with these rich natives, not to mention whether 1% of their eloquence could be used normally, even if they are used, it was better to bring more guns over to negotiate.

Chu Guang suddenly understood the old leech on Bett Street—oh no, the old mayor.

This guy is really not a good thing. He was already ugly enough, and the fact that the exploitation of ordinary people is only for his own pleasure and that he has no long-term plan for the future of Bett Street only makes him look worse.

But if the scavengers could deal with merchants themselves, those poor people would be ripped off even more.

This is not just a question of ignorance.

Only those who are naive to a certain level would think that the merchants from Boulder City would be more merciful than the rich natives in the outskirts.

It's like comparing bats and leeches at which sucks blood better.

"It is meaningless to encourage players to trade with indigenous forces. Every large transaction involving exports must be conducted under supervision, such as the establishment of a fixed caravan, the planning of routes and types of transactions, and the prices of listed commodities. The players are the guards for transportation, and the NPC is responsible for trading… This can also take care of the less hardcore players and simplify the transaction process."

"But tariffs are indeed a good idea, this can be implemented! In the future, according to actual needs, I can consider allowing outside NPCs to directly participate in the players' market… under the premise that they can only barter or use shelter currency."

‘And when it is under the supervision...'

"Free trade?"

"Ha ha."

"When I need them to fight, I will naturally tell them with whom to trade freely."

In addition to the guide posts posted by "The_Escaping_Mole", there were also civil engineering players exchanging house building skills, and metallurgical engineering players discussing how to use limited materials to efficiently make steel.

Some people even shared the link to Reddit and otakutranslation blog, changing messaging services to continue the chat. This unexpectedly attracted a lot of new traffic to the website.

The urban legend about "the completely immersive virtual reality online game" was showing signs of continuous spread. Although the vast majority of people regard it as some kind of text based game, there are also a small number of people who take it seriously and click the apply button with a half-joking mentality.

The number of applications is growing steadily.

What surprised Chu Guang was that There_will_be_ample_time, who is usually the most popular and "understands him best", did not share his game experience on the forum this time.

While Chu Guang was browsing in the forum, the Bull and Horse Club group was also very lively.

Although Brother Light hasn't shown up these days, the topics in the group basically revolve around Wasteland Online.

At least in the morning.

Old White: "Ample Time, did you read a post on the official website? It's the one written by Big-nosed Mole."

Gale: "It's called The_Escaping_Mole."

Old White: "That's not important!"

Ample Time: "I saw it. The method proposed in that post is a bit interesting, but there isn't much point."

Old White: "Huh? I think it's great! Selling a prey directly to an NPC will earn 5 silver, and finding someone to slaughter and dry it will at least double its value."

Ample Time: "Hehe, theory is theory, but he ignores the existence of contribution points."

Night Ten: "What do you mean?"

Ample Time: "You can understand the contribution points as your credit score."

Gale: "Jesus, your analogy is incredible..."

Ample Time: "Now, among all the players, except for the few of us who have upgraded to citizens, it is estimated that only the carpenter Mosquito and the tailor Teng Teng can barely earn 2000 points. In other words, except for our six people, everyone else needs to earn contribution points and become citizens first, then make money later."

Only a citizen could buy land.

Even a fool could tell that the sooner you buy the land, the better area you will get.

Ample Time: "Think about this problem clearly, and then analyze the others. Of these six people, who do you think is more suitable to be a butcher? Do you have experience as one?"

Old White: "Uh, this is indeed a problem."

Night Ten: "No, I just want to ask, is it difficult to cut meat?"

Gale: "... No one who has been to the supermarket to buy meat would ask such a question."

Ample Time: "Night Ten is still a student and has no real life experience. Anyway, the method mentioned in that post is not feasible at present. To do that, we need to find a salesman and a butcher. In this way, after splitting the profit six ways, we will not necessarily earn more."

"Actually, I have already calculated it, I just didn't say it. When that Tomato_scrambled_eggs becomes a citizen, we can try to talk to him about cooperation, although I don't think there is much hope."

Night Ten: "Why?"

Ample Time: "Are you stupid? Why would he want to cooperate with us? He can open a restaurant and sell meat just by himself. He doesn't need anyone's help."

Old White: "Damn, based on what you said, it seems that butcher and chef are very lucrative classes in this game?"

Ample Time: "I can only say that it is at this stage, and it may not necessarily be the case in the future."

Ample Time: "Our first priority is to level up, and then to increase proficiency. In any open world game, life classes are relatively easy to make money at the beginning, but in the middle and late stages, the first echelon will always be those who are truly strong!"

Gale: "You really understand how to play this game… I have been unable to figure out why you don't want to become a professional player."

Ample Time: "I didn't have a chance before, but now, hehe, I feel that my chance has come."

Garbage_pickup_level_99: "Boss! I bow down to you!"

WC_really_has_mosquitoes: "Me too!"

Ample Time: "Yes, haha! We are all in the same group. From now on, our guild will be called Bull and Horse Club!"

Old White: "Ahem, can we change to a different name?"

Night Ten: "Change it? Why? This is such a nice name. (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) "

Ample Time: "Changing the name or not is not important. But I have to say something. Your contribution should be almost enough, but Mr. Garbage has been wandering in the jungle for the past few days, so he probably needs to farm a little. Your first priority now is to become a citizen, and once you become a citizen, your next goal is to save money. Let's save money as a team and then build a house directly in front of the resurrection point. The first floor of the house will be the shops along the street, and the second and third floors will be divided into a large standard room for one person."

Old White: "In the future, that will be our guild stronghold! (Excited)"

WC_really_has_mosquitoes: "Old brother's plan is really steady!"

Garbage_pickup_level_99: "I can't wait to buy the land!"

Quit_smoking: "Fuck! I really want to play!!! T . T"
