This Game is Too Real

　　 Chu Guang tightened the seal of the plastic bag and continued.

　　 "You should be thankful that you didn't continue walking inside. This mushroom usually grows near the nest of mutant leeches."

　　 Ye Shi was taken aback.

　　 "Mutated leech?"

　　 Chu Guang said casually.

　　 "Well, the juvenile mutant leeches are only as big as a slap. Except for their special mouthparts, they look no different from normal leeches."

"However, once it enters adulthood, its size will rapidly increase to more than 1 meter, the longest can even reach 3 meters, and its eating method will also change. I heard that it can even swallow a living person... Of course, I just listen to it. Say."

　　 After listening to the manager's narration, Ye Shi felt a bitter cold all over his body.

　　 He said how he felt something was wrong when he was picking mushrooms, but he couldn't say what was wrong. Looking at it this way, I turned out to have slipped before the ghost gate closed.

　　 "Can't you eat it?" The expression on Kuangfeng's face was rather regretful. Looking at the mushrooms that Chu Guang had put away, he muttered, "I thought I could add BUFF."

"do not think too much."

　　 How can there be so many BUFF.

　　 There is a word that Chu Guang didn't say.

　　 Although this thing cannot be eaten, it is the main raw material for making radioactive agents.

　　 The specific principle is not clear to Chu Guang, he also heard about it from Old Charlie on Bethe Street.

　　 blue umbrella mushroom contains a special peptide substance, which can effectively alleviate and heal the non-lethal damage caused by gamma rays.

　　 The caravan in Boulder City will buy this thing, and the price is not low, usually it is shipped to Boulder City and sold to the factory there.

　　 It’s just that this thing is really not easy to handle. Few scavengers are willing to risk their lives to search for mutant leeches’ dens in swamps, subways, or sewers.

　　 is one thing that is hard to find.

　　 I found it and brought it back, which is another matter.

　　 Even if it is forced by life, no one wants to deal with these cannibalistic tentacles...

　　 Unexpectedly, there is a nest of mutant leech just a short distance away.

　　 Chu Guang was in a mixed mood.

　　 The good thing is that the blue umbrella mushroom can sell for a lot of money, but the worry is that the mutant leeches are not easy to deal with.

Sprinkle salt?

　　 Where can I get hundreds of kilograms of salt? If there is so much salt, it is better to sell salt directly.

　　 Set fire?

　　 This stuff usually lives in humid areas, it's really not that good.

　　 "Do you remember the specific location of the sewer entrance?"

　　 Facing the manager’s question, Kuangfeng quickly pulled out the map and pointed to the marked location.

"right here."

　　 Chu Guang glanced at the location on the map, and silently wrote it down.

"I see."

　　...

The blue umbrella mushroom brought back by 　　 Gale and Ye Shi is estimated to be 2 kilograms. Generally, every 50g can be exchanged for a little bargaining chip.

　　2000g is 40 chips!

　　 This is almost equivalent to all the savings Chu Guang has saved in the past five months.

　　 And this is the price charged by the recycling station on Beit Street.

　　 The actual value of this thing is at least more than twice this number!

　　 Chu Guang intends to sell all these mushrooms, and then use the bargaining chips in exchange for the urgently needed supplies at the outpost.

　　 "The supplies at the outpost need to be replenished. I'll go out. You stay here. Remember not to go far."

　　 "At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Qi will open the elevator for you on time and return to the shelter."

　　 "When I'm away, Xiao Qi will count the results of your work, and you can ask about it if you don't understand it."

　　 As for the 2 kilograms of blue umbrella mushrooms, Chu Guang gave a total of 220 contribution points to Feng Feng and Ye Shi.

　　 200 contribution points are due to the discovery of mutant leech nests, and the other 20 contribution points are blue umbrella mushrooms.

　　 It’s not that he is stupid to only give such a point, but because he’s afraid of giving too much, so that these players will taste the sweetness, risking to go pick this thing, and accidentally die in it.

　　Before he found a generator that could power the "active substance extractor", he thought he had better be cautious.

　　 Green wheat porridge for lunch.

　　 said it was porridge, but Chu Guang felt a bit like mung bean soup without sweetness.

　　 This thing has no taste at all, it is purely to fill the stomach.

　　 But to Chu Guang's surprise, the four players ate and devoured them like a starving ghost.

　　 Is it so delicious?

　　 Chu Guang had doubts about his cooking skills.

　　 Am I actually good at cooking?

　　 shouldn’t...

　　 hurriedly settled a meal.

　　 Putting away the pots and pans, Chu Guang put out the fire and set off on the road alone. There were only four players left in the nursing home, and an AI robot hanging upstairs.

　　 Fang Chang stared at the task board inserted at the entrance of the nursing home, lost in thought.

　　 Ye Shi asked from the side.

"What are you looking at."

　　 Fang Chang said.

　　 "According to the manager, the blue umbrella mushroom can be used as a raw material for the production of anti-radiation agents, but the reward given to you by the task is only 20 points, which is equivalent to cutting two trees...Do you think this is reasonable?"

　　 Ye Shi was taken aback.

"Any questions."

　　 Fang Chang said.

　　 "Of course there is. Normally speaking, the income players get from the mission should be positively related to the difficulty of the mission. You have not only unlocked new copies, but also collected high-value materials. Normally speaking, there is no such thing as a reward."

　　 The gust of wind thought about it.

　　 "Then why do you think it is."

　　 Fang Chang snapped his fingers.

"priority!"

　　 "Excellent, priority?" Ye Shi stunned.

　　 "That's right." Fang Chang nodded, "Do you remember what the manager said in the previous plot? The current first priority is survival!"

Have it?

　　 Seems to be there.

　　 Ye Shi didn't listen too carefully, he didn't watch the plot of most games and just Ctrl over it. Although this game can't Ctrl, it doesn't make any difference for a few minutes to lose your mind.

　　 Fang Chang continued.

　　 "...So I guess that the tasks on the task board are not all tasks. This game gives us a lot of autonomy. Not only can tasks be issued by NPCs, they can also be triggered actively."

　　 The wind frowned.

　　 "Reason?"

　　 "Didn't you already receive the reward?" Fang Chang said, "Although the generator was not found, the alien nest was found and valuable materials were collected."

　　 "So I judge that as long as our behavior meets the current needs of Vault 404, we can get contribution points. And the value of the reward is positively related to the value created by our behavior!"

　　 "For example, building cesspits and toilets is a task released by the manager after adopting our opinions. Both Lao Bai and I received a reward of 200 contribution points."

　　 Lao Bai nodded.

"it seems to be like this."

　　 "I probably understand what you mean," Kuan Feng said, touching his chin, "but can I get contribution points for completing the tasks on the task board?"

　　 And the points are not low.

　　 "This is the second point I want to say," Fang Chang's face showed a mysterious smile, "Do you remember the likability setting that the plan told us?"

　　 Kuangfeng's face floated in a daze.

　　 "So that's it... I understand what you mean."

　　 Ye Shi and Lao Bai are still at a loss.

　　 "What do you guys understand."

　　 "Speak clearly!"

　　 Fang Chang said slowly.

"In simple terms, completing fixed tasks on the task board step by step, although we can get a fixed guarantee reward, but can not show our ability. In contrast, actively triggering tasks can better reflect our own ability! In theory, it should be It can improve the manager’s evaluation of us."

　　 Of course, these speculations are based on the fact that Wasteland OL is a "completely real" immersive virtual reality game, and the manager's behavior is governed by program logic and is not artificially set.

　　 If his intelligence is not as high as imagined, this inference is likely to be invalid.

　　 But at present, the manager's intelligence is still quite high. There is no problem with normal communication. He even couldn't help wondering whether UU reading www.uukanshu.com will be played by a real person.

　　Understanding Fang Chang's explanation, Lao Bai touched the beard stubble on his chin and nodded.

　　 "This idea is a bit interesting, it's worth trying... Then what do you think we should do?"

"I'm still trying to find out exactly what to do, but my instinct tells me that it is more important to accumulate more NPC favorability before the second round of testing than contribution points. This will ensure that we will be sealed in the second round. Test has a higher'starting point' than other players."

　　 After a pause, Fang Chang snapped his fingers.

　　 "I propose to form a team!"

　　 "Team means..." Ye Shi asked in confusion.

　　 Lao Bai nodded.

"I have no opinion."

　　 Kuangfeng also nodded.

　　 "I agree too."

　　 Night ten stunned.

　　 "I have no objection, but can you tell me the details of the team?"

　　 Fang Chang explained patiently.

　　 "To put it simply, we are a team from now on. We share information and help each other. Then, all we have to do is to give play to our strengths."

　　 Fang Chang looked at Kuangfeng and Ye Shi, and continued.

"Fast wind, Ye Shi, you are investigating along the lakeshore of the Wetland Park. Pay attention to the distribution of alien species and the trajectory of their activities. If you find areas that are suspected of nesting, mark them... But remember, don't get too close, especially to avoid fighting. . We need a safe water intake."

　　 The wind nodded.

"OK."

　　 Then, Fang Chang looked at Lao Bai.

　　 "As for us, what we have to do now is to chop more wood."

　　 "It will be offline in a while, I will check some information on the Internet, and I will find a way to use the wood I stocked tomorrow!"
