This Game Is Too Realistic

Chapter 185.1: Sure Enough, Lucky People are the Worst

Within three seconds of the announcement, the official website forum became lively!

Compared with the event announcement, most people did not have any reaction to the first LV10 player.

After all, the leveling speed of strength type was faster than other sequences, and Old White was an old player who has been on the server since Alpha 0.1, so it was not surprising that he was much faster than the rest.

The difficulty of the game in the early stage was obvious to those who were watching on the forum.

Compared to players who became stronger by their abilities, lucky players were obviously more hated by other players.

The only thing that made everyone feel weird was why things like a player reaching LV10 needed to be mentioned separately.

For the vast majority of MMORPGs, didn’t LV10 just mean that players could leave the novice village?

Why was it so special that it needed to be mentioned on the official website forum?

Or, Wasteland Online’s LV10 is different from other games?

Midnight Pubg: +1, I am also the strength type, but I’m only LV8. (???)

Quit Bullshit: Speaking of which, if you are LV10, you can buy that Miner Type I exoskeleton, right?

Escaping Mole: The precondition is to be at the Citizen level and to be at LV10. But generally speaking, when you reach LV10, your contribution points are basically enough to reach the Citizen level.

Battlefield Cheerleader: 2000 silver coins… Even if you reach LV10, no one can afford it. (Smh)

Irene: Not necessarily, maybe Boss Ya can. She’s been selling mushrooms all this time, but she hasn’t bought any equipment, so she might be rich. ( ?

Night Ten: +1, let’s rob Boss Ya. ( ?

Ya Ya: Enough you guys, I’m already unemployed, you should go and rob Teng Teng. o(???)o

Teng Teng: ??!!

The savings of most players on the server was around the three digits mark, and only the best players on the server could reach four digits of savings.

Even without the requirements, few people could afford to buy such expensive equipment.

At this time, someone mentioned the lucky guy in the last expansion, Spring Water Commander who got the exoskeleton in the post again. The post was instantly filled with envy and hatred.

This is so unfair!

Just because of luck, he could get the strongest legendary outfit in the current version of the game!

How is this not ridiculous?

How is this reasonable?

How can they not nerf him?

Unless I get one as well… Otherwise, his equipment must be nerfed!

Spring Water Commander, who was attacked by everyone, didn’t dare to show up on the forum at all, and could only complain in the small group he created.

Huh! It was Old White who leveled up to LV10, why am I the one who got attacked?! Isn’t the first batch of testers not lucky enough? Can’t they go and attack him?!

Darkest: Calm down, it must be because you are not strong enough, and everyone thinks it is a waste to give you such good equipment!

Battlefield Cheerleader: +1, why don’t you give me the exoskeleton? It happens that I am an agility type, with quick response and not easy to die.

Darkest: It’s better to give it to me. I am a newbie, a potential stock, and a perception type. The danger is always one step behind me, so I can guarantee that there won’t be a scratch on the equipment.

Battlefield Cheerleader: How about we take turns to use it? It’s definitely more useful than giving it to someone of the intelligence type.

Darkest: I can’t agree more.

Spring Water Commander: Agree my ass! (#`??)

...

The next morning.

The industrious players gathered in front of the square of the outpost and began to line up to receive the mission to explore Shelter 117.

The NPC who gave the mission was the Deputy Captain of the Guards, Liu Ding, and he did it with a long face.

After logging into the game this time, players were surprised to find that the dude actually had an exoskeleton.

"What the hell? The guard captain’s exoskeleton was from the administrator... So where did this NPC’s exoskeleton come from?"

"Did he pick it up from the Shelter 117?"

"According to the settings on the official website, the correct explanation should be because of the outstanding performance of the administrator, the organization decided to support him with a new set of equipment."

"That is to say, as long as we work hard enough, our administrator will soon be able to change to a brand new exoframe? "

“Huh? Why do I feel like I’m being exploited?"

"Stop talking nonsense. The event team is about to hit the road, is there anyone else who has received the mission? Let’s group up and do it together."

“Me, me, me! boss, take me with you.”

In order to prevent players from entering Shelter 117 together, causing traffic congestion, and creating a lot of noise to attract mutants in other areas of the tunnel, only 50 slots were released per hour.

After receiving the mission, a new event mission option would be updated in the mission column of the player’s VM. After clicking on it, players would be able to see the following interface:

[Event Mission: Our Neighbor]

[Content: Take the VM to visit Shelter 117 and look into any corner.]

[Main Mission 1: You are not allowed to enter with weapons. There is a checkpoint at the entrance of the shelter, which can temporarily store equipment.]

[2: Do not take or destroy the items in Shelter 117. If it is necessary to pick up and observe, please put them back in place after observation.]

[3: Make good use of the marking function in the VM 3D area map. There are hidden easter eggs in the shelter. Find and mark them to trigger hidden rewards after the event ends. (Each player has only one chance)]

[Side Mission 1: Investigate the reason for the abandonment of Shelter 117: Shelter 117 remains as it was before it was abandoned, and the rooms are scattered with the personal belongings of the residents before they died. We need to find out what happened there.]

[2. Unknown clues: Waiting for players to explore by themselves]

[Personal exploration progress: 0%]

[Entire server exploration progress: 0%]

Regarding the easter eggs mentioned, to be honest, Chu Guang also didn’t know what it was. The reason why he mentioned there were easter eggs was mainly to stimulate players’ desire to explore.

Whether there really was one or not, they still had to search for it.

What if his players found any clues he missed?

Wouldn’t that be an easter egg then?

And it didn’t really matter even if they couldn’t find anything.

At that time, he would just browse around the forum, pick up a few posts that had more replies, and get some inspiration from them.

Players would never think that he copied their ideas, but would be ecstatic to discover the easter eggs left by the developers were exactly as they thought.

Standing in the corridor of the nursing home, watching the crowded and eager players in the square, a sunny smile appeared on Chu Guang’s face. "I’m really a genius."

Xiaoyu, who was sitting behind the bank counter, raised her head and blinked curiously.

Is this something that needs special emphasis?

She always thought that her Big Brother Chu was very smart.

On the other side of the square, looking at the old players surrounding Liu Ding and were ready to set off after receiving the mission, the new Alpha 0.7 and 0.8 newcomers looked envious.

Purchasing a VM required players to reach the Citizen level, and upgrading to a Citizen required 2,000 contribution points. If it was fast, it would take them a week, and if the pace was slow, it may take them half a month.

It was still acceptable for players who joined the game since the Alpha 0.7 version. After all, except for those who were stuck in the resurrection bug, they had basically accumulated enough contribution points. As for those players who were unfortunately hit by stray bullets in the battle, and players who only entered the game in Alpha 0.8, many of them had just reached four figures of contribution points.

It was the first time the newbies had seen a game that would require players to spend money, even on the system interface.

That was just too damn ridiculous!

All the newbies were envious. However, that was this game’s setting, after all; so complaining was useless. If they wanted to experience the full content of the game, they could only use their effort to prove their loyalty to the administrator.

With the yearning for a better life, the newbies went to the warehouse administrator to receive their daily missions obediently after staying in the square for a while.

Of course, there were also players who wanted to take shortcuts.

For example, in the center of the square, a player was yelling at everyone who passed by. "Is there anyone who can lend me a VM? I, Zhang Hai, will definitely reward you well!"

Mosquito happened to pass by. Seeing that the man looked familiar, he approached him.

After a closer look, he immediately recognized that the man was the newbie who squatted in the carriage together with him last time; so he leaned over and teased, "Brother, you don’t even have a VM, how are you going to reward someone?"

Zhang Hai smiled. "I can cook for you."

Mosquito frowned immediately. "Get lost!"

After shouting for a long time, he failed to receive a reply.

Looking at the sparsely populated square, Zhang Hai shook his head, sighing with emotion. "The moral degeneration of the world is getting worse day by day... God damn it, I can’t even borrow a VM, this game is too real."

Noticing that the newcomer was still shouting in the square, Brother Quit Smoking, who just came back to hand in the mission, couldn’t help but say. "Brother, you need to stop wasting your time. VM and account ID are bound. Don’t ask me how I know it, I have tried all the methods you have thought of. The big bugs in this game are almost unsolvable, and the small bugs are almost nonexistent... So you should really stop thinking that there are bugs you can abuse. It’s pointless."

Zhang Hai was shocked when he heard this. "Damn it! Why didn’t anyone tell me this?"

Seeing this newbie’s reaction, Quit Smoking was speechless for a while and then said, "... Dude, have you never checked the official website?"

Zhang Hai shook his head and said. "Oh, you mean the official forum? I don’t browse it. There are too many posts on it, and after each refresh, dozens of new posts would pop up. It makes my eyes hurt."

Quit Smoking: "..."

This guy...

Is he really thirty years old?!
