This Game Is Too Realistic

At night, players went offline one after another.

In Shelter 404…

Sitting in front of his computer, Chu Guang logged onto the official website skillfully. As always, he first checked the chat history before going back to his job as a self-proclaimed game designer.

Not surprisingly, the players on the forum were discussing the plot progression they observed during their time in the game.

Sword Execution: Am I the only one who noticed that there were so many wild NPCs today? Normally, we won’t even meet one.

Construction Boy: Yes, yes, there were two at noon, and then three in the afternoon. Do you think that maybe the game will move to open beta soon? (Excited)

That_touch_of_longing: I’m afraid the open beta is still too early. There isn’t any announcement. Probably we will still need to wait for a while. (Eats popcorn)

Garbage: What the hell? What did I miss? I came back in the evening!

Irene: It’s okay, I also missed the daytime plot, but I believe that the old brothers in the forum will definitely explain the plot to us. ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Night Ten: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

As usual, the first few posts were shitposts as the professionals were silently gathering their energy to churn out their ultimate moves.

Sitting in front of the computer, Chu Guang spent about half an hour browsing the forum. After a while, he saw a lot of high-quality content being posted one after another.

For example, one of them came from Ample Time.

Perhaps he was worried that a certain escaping rodent would shake his image as the most veteran player of Wasteland Online in the minds of players, Ample Time, who had been silent for many days, finally updated a super hardcore guide post on the forum!

The post not only listed the insights of each genetic sequence in detail but also shared the Bull and Horse Squad four man formation.

After reading it, Chu Guang immediately pinned it to the top of the page.

My goodness…

The post recorded Ample Time’s gaming experience and tips since he started playing! If Chu Guang didn’t pin it, he would feel sorry for his hard working little worker bees!

-... After playing for so long, it’s time to summarize some strategies. As always, let me start with my conclusion, perception type players are the luckiest players in the current version! Whether it is hunting or scavenging, it is best to have one of them on your team! ṝâɴօΒËș

- Players with high perception can not only detect danger before it happens, but they can also track enemies down. Death penalty in the game is unusually severe, and we should avoid dying if it’s possible! No one wants to die. After all, I believe no one wants to wait on the forum for three whole days…

- If perception type players are the luckiest players in the current version, then strength type players are the second luckiest players. In the case where constitution type and agility type players are unable to exert obvious advantages in the early stage of the game, strength type players will be able to obtain the greatest melee advantage and give their teammates a sense of security!

- By the way, don’t believe in those maniacs who are obsessed with chopping down trees, axes are useful when chopping trees but they are not that useful in when used to hunt! If you are a strength type player, then the javelin will always be your godly weapon!

- Under the sharpened edge of a javelin, all beings are equal! If you really don’t know how to use a bow well, consider it. You don’t need too much precision within five meters, and it’s really impossible to not to hit the target, you can even use it in close combat!"

- Rifle, you say? What do you think that is? It’s more expensive than my life! If you have money to buy a rifle, you can do anything in the game. I have to mention it again, what I’m talking about is the early stage, early stages of the game! Unless there are lifestyle profession players who are willing to support you, then just ignore what I said! For example, if Teng Teng becomes your sugar mommy. (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

- I don’t have any comments on agility type players, I am an agility type player myself, and my evasion skill is really high. Sometimes I can avoid oncoming attacks just by instinct, but that’s it.

- This attribute does not actually give a bonus to archery and throwing projectiles. Although dynamic vision has a small auxiliary effect on shooting, accuracy is still mainly affected by proficiency and experience. Perhaps, the agility type players are only advantageous in close combat. For example, stealth assassination, or when they wield a one-handed sword and shield.

- Dodging to replace the strength type’s melee suppression effect, and serving as the front liner of the squad may also be a feasible idea. But this is only a suggestion. To be honest, I haven’t tried it, maybe you can give it a try!

- As for constitution type players. This genetic sequence is actually very mysterious. It does have a bonus when it comes to recovery speed and injury resistance, but they are not outstanding. So that it is difficult for players of this sequence to obtain direct advantage in intense battles, and the advantage of recovery is often manifested after the battle is over.

- In addition, the wounds of players with high constitution stats seem to be less susceptible to infection, and they are more resistant to toxins and even radiation. From this point of view, constitution type players may be more suitable for scavenging than hunting. The best partner to have in your team is still perception type players.

- And lastly, I must clear some confusion around the intelligence sequence! The intelligence type genetic sequence is not useless in this version, but in its current state, players with this sequence are not suitable for combat. On the contrary, they are more suitable for lifestyle professions such as tailors.

- The advantage of high intelligence is mainly reflected in the ability to master skill proficiency faster. However, in this game, proficiency is actually a very abstract concept, which includes muscle memory, skills, experiences, and other elements. This attribute does not bring more intuitive enhancements to the character like the other four attributes.

- So when you fill in the application, you must think clearly about whether your gameplay is really suitable for this attribute. If you have decided before entering the game to become a leisurely Lifestyle Profession player such as fisherman or chef, then, the intelligence attribute is your best choice.

- In addition, in the absence of guns, the best configuration for the hunting team is the four man formation. Perception type player can be the scout, while the strength type player will be the frontliner, the agility type player will be the sniper. As for the past player… Choose what you need. If you have one more agility type player, they can act as a support, or you can have one more strength type player to have a more steady front line.

At the end of the post, Ample Time also used the electronic map in the official website database to make a simple strategy map, marking the relative safety farming points around the shelter.

The whole post could be said to be full of valuable knowledge and it could even be used as a novice guide!

Chu Guang nodded repeatedly as he read through the post, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Ample Time did not let him down.

Compared to the players who were creating trouble in game, he liked the players who had a deep understanding of the game and the version he had released.

It was best if the player understood this game better than himself, the self-proclaimed game designer!

Speaking of which, the total deposit of the Bull and Horse Squad seemed to have officially exceeded two hundred silver coins.

These four old players were indeed fierce enough, they even broke one wooden bow, and almost ten javelins during their hunt.

At first, they would buy some knives and axes, but in the later phases, they didn’t even bother to equip the knives. They simply used the steel pipes, steel bars, and steel bundled cement they picked up from the ground.

Obviously, they understood the essence of living in the wasteland!

Although the weapons displayed in the store shelves were really easy to use, they were often weapons found in the wasteland before being modified with other materials they found.

In addition to Ample Time’s guide post, The_escaping_mole has also updated a guide, which was not surprising. But it was not about profession classes’ gameplay, but about the content of the game itself.

- Hello everyone, I am your big-nosed mole. The wasteland is as peaceful as ever today! But my nose has sensed the smell of gunpowder!

- Don’t ask me why. Even if you ask me, I won’t tell you the real reason! In the past, the administrator encountered a marauder team in the north of the outpost, and Garbage found a marauder camp at the northern tire factory, as well as the mutated human tribe entrenched in the depths of 76th Street. It is obvious that the production team is paving the way through these settings and telling us indirectly that our outpost is not safe! It can even be said that the situation is quite dangerous!

- In the past, our scope of activity was only in Linghu Wetland Park, but now we have obviously stepped out of the novice zone and spread to one kilometer near Linghu Wetland Park… Even two kilometers nearer to the city! Even if it is covered by terrain such as ruins and jungles, sooner or later it will be discovered by other nearby NPC forces!

- In addition, the merchant who came earlier today and the indigenous people who came in the afternoon proved my conjecture. The frequency of communication between the player’s power and the neutral power is determined by the player’s activity in the game!

- To be honest, the details of this game exceed my imagination. If my inference is correct, it should trigger a conflict with marauders or the mutated human tribe soon!

- It is recommended that the devs try to roll out a marauders’ siege campaign. We can also use this activity to test the quality of our project and see if it is sturdy! Otherwise, it is really a shame to not put the repaired wall into use.

Chu Guang’s eyelids started to twitch uncontrollably after reading his post.

This asshole… You better not jinx it!

Sword Execution: WTH, are you the devil?!

Ample Time: Brother don’t jinx it! We just saved enough money to buy a house here, and we didn’t even have a gun. How are we going to test the siege? Rush in the woods? We are going to get rekt!

Garbage: Hurry up! Let me fight the mutant humans before it snows! (Excited!)

Irene: You are in such a hurry to feed the mutant humans? (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Elf Wang: Hahaha.

This_lord_is_arrogant_what_can_you_do: LOL.

"..."

Chu Guang also wanted to be as relaxed and worry-free as that fellow, but he really couldn’t laugh. After all, they were playing a game, while his life depended on it!

As the big-nosed mole said, as the scale of the outpost expanded, the players would explore the ruins further, and sooner or later they would meet their neighbors.

Even if he didn’t meet them, it was difficult to guarantee that the other party would not follow the trail to find the outpost.

If it was during the daytime when the players were online, they might be able to defend the outpost. However, things would be troublesome at night.

The empty fort strategy would not work all the time. They may not dare to approach the outpost once or twice, but after a long time, they would eventually find out that the outpost was almost undefended at night...

Thinking of this, Chu Guang immediately opened the system and confirmed the number of applications.

[Current Number of applications: 612]

"Little Seven."

"Yes, Master." Little Seven, who was charging at the corner, turned on the lights, and the sudden sound it made startled Xia Yan who was sitting aside memorizing lines.

"Help me open fifty more nurturing cabins."

"Master, you only have forty-nine left."

Chu Guang was dazed, and then he remembered that in order to resurrect Yaya, he had replaced a can of active matter from one of the nurturing cabins that hadn’t been activated.

Hmmm… That stupid lass…

“Fine, activate forty of them for now.”

The remaining nine would be reserved for backups, just in case.

The generator would be delivered in two days. In the event of an extreme situation, at least he would be able to make a comeback with the remaining nine units of active matters.

Regardless of the situation, Chu Guang would prepare another plan, which was almost a habit he had developed before coming to the wasteland.

"What are you talking about?"

There were a total of three voices in the room, one of which belonged to a dumb bin.

The person and the bin bot started speaking in a language she didn’t understand, and anyone in her position would be nervous!

Xia Yan stared nervously at Chu Guang sitting in front of the computer.

"It has nothing to do with you," Chu Guang replied casually and stared at the computer screen intently while typing away on his keyboard.

[Alpha 0.4 version update announcement]

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his tight brows smoothed out slightly.

Chu Guang had already prepared a draft regarding the content of the update.

After all, there were so many little geniuses who gave him a bunch of ideas!

Looking at the creepy smile on one side of that face that was illuminated by the flickering light from the screen, Xia Yan gulped and her already tight nerves became more tense.

She had a feeling the nasty man who made her memorize strange lines was plotting something evil again.

This guy… He’s really creepy!
