"Here."

In Shelter 404, in the room next to the residents' hall, Chu Guang handed the bowl and spoon to Xia Yan who was sitting against the wall.

Seeing the venison and bracken leaves floating on the green wheat porridge, Xia Yan swallowed, and ignoring whether there was any poison in it, she buried her head in the bowl and gulped it down.

Since she could eat it, it meant that she had almost recovered.

Watching the female mercenary gorging on the food, Chu Guang glanced at her right leg briefly. Although the severed limb cannot be regenerated, the wound has basically healed, and the scab has even begun to fall off, and new flesh will grow.

It seems that this healing syringe is indeed effective.

It would be nice if I could get another one.

When Xia Yan had almost finished the food, Chu Guang said.

"So, have you memorized everything now?"

Xia Yan put down the bowl and nodded nervously.

To be honest, she was not confident.

But she was afraid that if she said no, she would be sold as a slave to the farm nearby.

This was a ruthless man, who had torn a creeper apart with his bare hand and did not even blink when he shot his own people, so he might do something even worse to her.

"Very good," Chu Guang nodded, "Tomorrow, you can rest. You will officially start working the day after tomorrow."

Xia Yan asked nervously.

"Speaking of which, what does the proprietress of the weapon shop do?"

Chu Guang looked at her and said,

"It's your background settings. You've finished memorizing the lines, but you still don't know?"

Xia Yan had a confused face, and obviously didn't understand the meaning of this job.

Chu Guang sighed.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, my assistant Little Seven will give you induction training. You only need to complete the things I ordered step by step."

"In addition, I don't care about other places, at least in front of other people, you have to call me administrator, understand?"

Xia Yan nodded.

"Understood……"

Chu Guang said.

"You can call me once now."

"Administrator." Xia Yan bowed her head and said in submission.

Huh?

She learned pretty fast.

Chu Guang was satisfied with her attitude, nodded, and handed her a chocolate-flavored lollipop.

"Very good."

"This is dessert after the meal, you can have it."

Xia Yan took the lollipop from his hand with a blank face, staring at the thing in a daze, seemingly thinking of something.

Chu Guang wasn't curious about what she was thinking.

Not wanting to stay in the room any longer, he closed the door, turned and returned to the surface. He first picked Little Seven up from the upper floor, and then drove the players back to the shelter like an old farmer herding a group of ducks.

Login permissions were locked to prevent someone from not going to sleep in the middle of the night.

Except for Mr. Garbage, who was still scouting outside, all 29 players returned home.

After returning to the computer in the residents' lobby, Chu Guang opened the forum.

Unsurprisingly, after the players took off their helmets, the first thing they did after they woke up was not to wash their faces and brush their teeth, but to pick up their phones or use computers to log in to the official website of Wasteland Online.

The moment when the players just went offline was the most lively time of the day on the official website forum.

Especially since just three hours ago, the official website of Wasteland Online released such big news!

Less than three days after the Alpha 0.2 version went online, the 0.3 version was updated. And looking at the content of this update, it actually contained a lot more than the previous version!

There was no need to pin it at all.

The post that Chu Guang posted on the forum as a game designer without any suspense replaced the analysis post of "There_will_be_ample_time" and became the top hot post in the entire forum!

Old White:[? ? ? The most diligent official in history! A big update every three days and a small update once a day, I love it! ]

Hold_the_sword_execution: [I'm in tears, we will finally be paid for missions in the future! T . T]

Night Ten: [What do you mean? Didn't you get paid before? Are contribution points and favorability not counted as wages? (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

Ample Time: [Wait a minute, I have a question! Does this mean that there will be no contribution points for daily tasks in the future? ]

Gale: [Fuck! ]

Hold_the_sword_execution: [Shi! ]

Night Ten: [No, buddy! Don't be like this! (Panic)]

Kakarot_from_the_future: [In fact, there is another small detail we need to pay attention to. 2000 contribution points can be upgraded to citizenship. Will there be missions that only citizens can take, but residents can't? ]

The_Escaping_Mole: [Wuwu, I want to build a house! Don't stop me from building a house! What happens if you don't buy land to build a house? ]

Irene: [It should be considered illegal. (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

Makka_Pakka: [Building a house is not interesting at all, I want to farm! Damnit, what can 5 square meters of land possibly grow! (anger)]

The focus of these players was always in strange places.

Chu Guang obviously just wanted to express that they would receive money for completing missions and work in the future. However, what players were concerned about was that it would be more difficult to obtain contribution points in the future!

Moreover, they seemed to have misunderstood something about the updated identity system and private land system.

But this was not their fault. After all, Chu Guang really didn't explain this part of the content clearly.

Light: "Everyone, please calm down. I just finished my work, and heard the forum's moderators say that you have a lot of questions about the new update! So let me explain it in detail."

"First of all, players who have obtained the qualification for the closed alpha should have already felt that the game map of Wasteland Online is an open world and that the actual game map is quite large in area, almost equal to infinity. However, in contrast, the safe area that the shelter outpost can provide is limited!"

"The 5 square meters of private land can be understood as the private space inside the fence provided by the outpost to players. Players can build houses on their own land, as long as the height does not exceed the nursing home's own height located in the center of the base."

"If you want to increase the area of your private territory, in addition to working hard to obtain contribution points to improve your status, you can also cooperate with your friends, develop together, and share the land."

"Of course, there must be a small number of players who want to know if they can build a house outside the fence of the outpost if they didn't have their own land but still wanted to build a house."

"The answer is yes. We promised that players can freely use their creativity to transform the world, and the server will retain these transformations. This is one of the core gameplay mechanics of this game!"

"But it should be noted that free construction is only a function supported by the server! Players can use this function, but also need to pay attention to the rules set by the NPC in the game. After all, in the setting, the identity of the players is the 404 shelter resident."

"The territory of the outpost is not only a fence, but also includes defensive buffer zones, agricultural areas, etc. outside the wall. As long as these lands are not occupied and players' actions do not pose a threat to the public safety and facilities of the outpost, players can freely build anything in it with creativity."

"But it should be noted that these facilities outside the territory are not protected by shelter."

"In addition, since the scale of the outpost will continue to change with development, the nearby land may be included in the new territory at any time. Therefore, for your gaming experience, please choose a place a little farther away from the outpost if you want to test your own creativity."

"If your building is accidentally included in the territory of the outpost, don't worry too much. The benevolent administrator will not immediately demolish the illegal building in the territory, but will give its owner 30 days."

"During this 30-day period, you will have the right to prepare and do whatever you need in order to purchase the land first, whether it is to upgrade your status or cooperate with other players. As long as you turn the land under the building into your private land, you can also keep the illegal building. It's a very considerate setting."

"Of course, if the player does not exercise the right of first refusal within 30 days, the administrator can only recover the land in accordance with the management regulations of the shelter, confiscate the illegal buildings on the land, and enter the asset disposal process."

"In the asset disposal process, the administrator will decide whether to demolish the building, list it as a public facility, or auction it according to the purpose and quality of the building. According to the way the building is disposed of, the administrator will give the player who lost the land a certain amount of compensation."

"In addition, I have to mention that the current currency is only a temporary currency in the closed alpha stage. This is a very important point."

"At the end of the game test, we will consider using digital currency and electronic accounting to integrate the currency system with the attribute panel and make it able to be presented directly to the players in a visual interface, just like those games you play on traditional PCs. Attributes, properties, etc. will be available for checking at any time!"

"However, it is not easy to implement this function. It involves many complex technical issues. Please be patient and give our production team some time!"

"By the way, this update will invite 20 new players. I believe that lucky people should have received the invitation emails already, please check it in time."

"I have been working overtime the entire night last night. I have to sleep for a while. If you have any questions, you can leave a message below this post. I will reply when I wake up!"

Of course, Chu Guang didn't sleep.

The sky in the wasteland was just getting dark, and it was not yet six thirty in the evening. If he went to bed so early, he might wake up in the middle of the night. At that time, what was he going to do? He didn't have a game helmet to help sleep.

It was better to check what the players were chatting about in the post.

As Chu Guang expected, just less than two minutes after his post was updated, the replies below the post exploded again.

Battlefield_hype_up_group: [Nice! Got an official explanation! ]

Body_stroke_chef: [Brother Light! ! ! It's you! ]

Sweaty_palms: [Please, just give me a chance! Please invite me as well!]

This_lord_is_arrogant_what_can_you_do: [Keep acting. I don't believe it at all. I repeat, there are no fully immersive virtual reality games in this world. The replies above are all bots! Anyone that is not a bot in the forum, please don't be fooled by the people from the Bull and Horse group! They are a bunch of trolls!]

Irene: [Wait, there are really people in this forum? I thought they are all my alt accounts? (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

Quit_smoking: [Fuck me. 20 new invitations? ! Why didn't I receive any in my mailbox? ! ]

Big_eyes_in_debt: [Hahahahaha, I received it! ]

That_touch_of_longing: [+1, haha! ]

Huh?

This_lord_is_arrogant_what_can_you_do? I've seen this ID before.

It seems to be from the Bull and Horse group.

However, what Chu Guang didn't expect was that this guy actually registered an account in the forum.

Didn't this guy always say that this official website was a malware site?

Why did he register an account now?

Chu Guang clicked on the account to take a look, and he was even more amused.

This guy actually also applied for the close alpha test, and he applied after he raised the application requirement.

Chu Guang smiled in his heart and didn't take this guy's remarks seriously.

In the forum, he was not the only one who did not believe that this game really existed.

What Chu Guang had to do here was to screen 20 more reliable players from the more than 300 "applications".

Those methods include, but were not limited to; analyzing users through forum history chat, answer scores, activity status, and online time. He who had done sales before was very good at this..................................................................
