This Game Is Too Realistic-Chapter 299.1: Northern Expedition Planning
Chapter 299.1: Northern Expedition Planning
Demeter took his teammates and continued north, heading towards the direction of West Continent City.
Watching those warriors wearing jet-black exoskeletons go away, the man hiding among the refugees heaved a sigh of relief and withdrew his hand from the worn-out cloak.
Meeting strangers in the wasteland was never a good thing, and sometimes conflict could be sparked by just a mere glance.
In most cases, both parties would consciously avoid each other. But if one party stopped, or even tried to approach the other party... It would be hard to say what would happen next. Especially since he felt a murderous aura from those people.
They seemed to have just suffered a defeat, and even just for a moment, they had the idea of venting their anger on them.
The leader of the refugee group was obviously aware of this, and after the strangers walked away, he immediately walked in front of the group and yelled, "Dawn City is just ahead!"
"There are shelters protecting us from the wind and rain and warm quilts over there... There is also hot water and food in that place. Just hold on a little longer, everyone. Let's try to move a little faster and get there before dark."
An unkempt man muttered softly, "Will they really share their food with us?"
A woman with a child on her back looked very worried. "How long do we have to keep walking..."
Facing those gazes, the leader was silent for a while before saying. "They promised it on the radio."
"But no matter what, we have to try."
...
Shelter 404.
After taking a shower and returning to the single room, Night Ten lay back in the nurturing cabin, closed the hatch, and logged out of the game skillfully.
When he opened his eyes again and took off his helmet, what he saw was the ceiling of his dormitory.
The entire switching process was done in the blink of an eye.
On Earth, he was merely Ye Wei, not the strongest perception-type player in Wasteland Online, but an ordinary student studying at Jiangcheng University.
Under the snoring of his roommates, Ye Wei sat up from the bed, turned over, and got out of bed. He quickly washed up and stuffed the textbooks into his bag.
There would be a morning class later. Even if he decided to become a professional gamer, he didn't intend to give up his studies completely.
After all, it was a prestigious school, and it took him a lot of effort to get into it. He didn't want his efforts to go in vain.
After playing Wasteland Online for so long, Ye Wei had already gotten used to the switching of role identities between reality and virtual reality.

When he passed by the window in the past, he would take another look suspiciously to check if everything was normal, but now he only felt that peace was such a great thing.
"Ah Wei, help me get a seat." A sleepy voice came from the top of his head. Ye Wei looked up and was surprised to see Brother Liu wake up.
"Huh? Brother Liu actually woke up so early?"
"That damn faucet chugged like a machine gun, how can I not be woken up by it," Brother Liu yawned and turned over on the bed, "I'm going back to sleep."
The other roommates were still snoring, sleeping soundly.
Ye Wei said helplessly after putting on his shoes, "There's nothing I can do if there are air bubbles in the water pipe. Besides, I already turned the tap all the way down. Honestly, if your sleep quality is poor, you might as well fill out that application form like me. At least it can help you sleep well, and it doesn't cost money anyway."
Brother Liu, who was lying on the bed, shivered all of a sudden as if suffering from PTSD. He quickly shook his head and said. "No, thanks, good brother, I really don't have your aptitude, so I won't be able to master your cultivation skills."
"Hehe."
You'll regret it one day!
Ye Wei stopped talking nonsense, picked up three books from the desks of his roommates, stuffed them into his bag, and then went out to the cafeteria.
He had a full day of classes during the day.
And he had a long trip to carry out at night.
Ye Wei and others had agreed to gather together 40,000 silver coins to purchase some Dawn City specialties and shipped them to Boulder Town to exchange for chips.
Steel Plant 81 and Goblin Technology also entrusted them to purchase second-hand equipment and were willing to settle with silver coins at the exchange rate of 1 chip for 3 silver coins.
This exchange rate included a 50% shipping fee.
The specific method of operation was that Bull and Horse Squad would first go to Boulder Town, get the next day's auction list from the auction house, take a picture of the list, and then upload it to the private chat of the forum. The two consignors would decide which goods they wanted to buy, how much would they be willing to pay, and how to bid specifically.
With a single trip, Ye Wei would be able to make more than double the profit even if it was estimated conservatively.
Thinking of this, Ye Wei, who usually got cheap soy milk and buns for breakfast in the morning, actually bought slightly more expensive black sesame paste and sauced meat buns.
The moment he took a bite of the bun, the meaty taste instantly spread out in his mouth.
It's so delicious!
Eating while walking, Ye Wei thought to himself that he should check the forum when he got to the classroom. It was at this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
Taking it out to take a look, he discovered that the message was from his younger sister.
Pineapple Jiujiu: Brother, is this the game you're playing now?
Pineapple Jiujiu: [Link]
Ye Wei almost dropped the steamed meat bun and phone on the ground when he read the message.
He quickly freed his hand and typed a message back.
Ye Wei: Where did you get the link???
Pineapple Jiujiu: From a chat group. 0 . 0
Night Ten: Quit that group quickly. That's not a game for kids.
Pineapple Jiujiu: You're a kid! I'm an adult! (angry)
Ye Wei immediately regretted the message he had just sent, his words seemed to have the opposite effect.
This bratty girl is definitely going to fill out the form!
Thinking of his ID, Ye Wei panicked.
If his younger sister discovered what he called himself in the game, he would definitely die of embarrassment.
Ye Wei: Jiujiu, ahem, listen to your older brother. This game is too deep for you to grasp, and it's extremely unfriendly to newbies, so you should still focus on studying.
Pineapple Jiujiu: Oh. K.
Ye Wei: ...
Damn it!
Ye Wei anxiously scratched his head, but there was nothing he could do.
Maybe... I should beg Brother Light to do me a favor and issue a name change card.
But would he really do it for me?
Seeing that the classroom was right in front of him, Ye Wei took a deep breath to calm himself down.
After the Beta 0.2 version, the number of waiting players skyrocketed, and with millions of people lined up to fill out the application form, and the speed of issuing 30 to 40 activation codes per day, the possibility of getting into the game was extremely slim.
Maybe after waiting for a while, she would give up.
After figuring this out, Ye Wei finally felt relieved.
Finding a place in the middle of the classroom where four seats were right next to each other, Ye Wei threw the bag on the seat and then logged into the official website of Wasteland Online with his mobile phone.
7:00 sharp, Light's update announcement was finally out.
But what Ye Wei didn't expect was that the announcement included their achievement in the game.
[Server Announcement: Congratulations to the Burning Corps for becoming the first LV2 corps on the closed test server! (Since the leader of the corps chooses to make the achievement public, this achievement will be included in the Hall of Fame as a group honor)]
Spring Water Commander: Holy shit! So fast!?
Sideline Slacking: They must be cheating!
Tail: Eep! The Order of the White Bear has just arrived in Red River Town, but someone has already reached LV2!!!!∑(゚Д゚ノ)ノ
Sisi: Tail wake up, we are not a corps, we are just a caravan registered with the Traveling Merchants Association.
Tail: Aww, I got confused. (:з∠)
Ample Time: Get lost! Just because we are good at playing this game, you think we are cheating? This is called being strong! (Proud)
Makka Pakka: This is unreasonable. The corps system is too strong. Life Profession players are so weak. Wuu wuu, Devs, please nerf it!
Escaping Mole: Damn it! Stop complaining and get better at playing the game instead!
Although feeling envious, Mole's Skeleton Corps almost reached LV2, with only 2 more missions away. While his corps failed to get the Hall of Fame achievement, the budget they would get after reaching LV2 was still very good.
However...
Perhaps hearing the complaints of Life Profession players, Devs suddenly released a Beta 0.21 upgrade patch.
Mole had an ominous premonition when he saw the words Corps System Gameplay Mechanism Adjustment.
[Adjustment content]
[1. The Corps System has added an attribute interface with the main attributes being Scale and Logistics. For each level up, the two attributes will increase by 1 point at the same time. For example, the scale and logistics points corresponding to LV2 are both 2.]
[2.1 point of scale corresponds to 10 [Recruitment Limit], and 1 point of logistics corresponds to 10 [Logistics Points]. The recruitment limit determines the number of players that can be recruited, and logistics points can be used to exchange for equipment. For example, 1 logistics point can be exchanged for 1 Conscript Set, which contains an LD-47 rifle and 120 rounds of 7mm ammunition. 2 logistics points can be exchanged for a set of support soldier set, including an LD-47J light machine gun and 500 rounds of 7mm machine gun ammunition.]
[3. The consumption of the Corps Equipment such as the weapons and ammunition exchanged using logistics points will be borne by the New Alliance. Those arms will be kept in the arsenal at ordinary times, managed and deployed by Quartermaster NPCs, and transported to the front line by the logistics units in wartime. Such equipment cannot be used during non-wartime or special missions.]
[4. 1 point can be obtained for each level up, which can be freely distributed in Scale, and Logistics, and can also be used to upgrade your Doctrine.]
[5. Doctrine represents the development tendency of the corps. For example, players who are good at large-scale combat can choose Mass Assault under the Light Infantry Doctrine to obtain a 100% scale bonus, and treat teammates as mere pawns. Players can also choose Special Operation under this doctrine, get the BUFF of Light Infantry Equipment Points Cost -50% and arm their teammates to the teeth.]
[Players who are good at Lightning War can choose the Armored Spearhead buff under the Mobile Warfare Doctrine to get the buff of -50% Armor Unit Point Cost. They can also choose a more secure Tank-infantry Collaboration tactic, and distribute half of the point discounts to light weapons.]
[The doctrine of Superior Firepower is divided into Firepower Coverage and Infantry-artillery Collaboration. It is recommended to reserve skill points for logistics and equip a few more cannons and ammunition boxes. You don't need scale anyway.]
[6. LV2, LV10, and LV20 corps can each unlock a doctrine slot. Each corps can carry a limited number of doctrines, and players can select them according to their needs. But please keep in mind that once you choose a doctrine category, you cannot choose exclusive branches under other categories. Whether to charge in the front line or to be fire support in the rear, you have to choose one.]
Ye Wei read the update announcement from beginning to end and got a general understanding of the content of this update.
To put it simply, the developers hoped that players would make trade-offs in gameplay and maximize their own advantages.
But the Armored Spearhead Tactic...
Do they have tanks?
With a subtle expression, Ye Wei flipped through the database on the official website.
The only armored units in the New Alliance were the trucks carrying quadruple anti-aircraft autocannons.
Or... Would there be tanks in the future?
Of course, these were trivial things. After all, it was still in the closed testing stage, and it was normal if it had not been developed.
What really caught Ye Wei's attention was the point system.
In the past, players used to receive bullets before the battle, and they needed to use their own bullets after they used up all the bullets given. And after the battle ended, the battle settlement interface would allocate 20% of the profit to the players who used their own equipment and ammunition to compensate them.
But this update made a change in the gameplay mechanism, that was, the separation of personal equipment and corps equipment.
"... Corps equipment can be exchanged using points, and the New Alliance will appoint quartermasters to manage the arsenal and replenish the inventory."
"Is this a separation between personal equipment and corps equipment?"
In the future, the ammunition left over from the war campaign battle couldn't be used for missions other than the war.
A trace of surprise appeared on Ye Wei's face, and he immediately switched to the comment section of the official website.
Sure enough, everyone was discussing this update.
