Chapter 102 A Big Wave Of Newbies Is Iing!
Official website forum:
"Breaking news! The female mercenary was flirting with Shelter 404 administrator ‘Dawn''!"
"Shocking news! The administrator slept with a female mercenary!"
"It was said that they did it for five days straight!"
"Their child is already 5 months old!"
"We are all adults who can y games for seven days a week. Please be mature! Don''t be so naive! So what about the process animation? What about the plot CG? How could they skip it? No CG, bad review!"
"Hahaha, you guys think NPCs can''t surf the Inte, so you can spread rumors about them without losing their favorability? Hahaha."
Not only were the test yers excited, but the non-test yers were also joining the post for fun.
At this moment, the artist [The_Escaping_Mole] in the forum jumped out and created a post separately.
"Here are the drafts! (Picture) (Picture) (Picture)"
Ya Ya: "!!!"
Teng_teng: "Is, is this something you can read without spending money? (Nosebleed)"
Night Ten: "Brother Mole is da best!"
Ample Time: "Awesome!!!"
The_Escaping_Mole: "Hey hey hey, don''t panic brothers, it''s just a draft, please wait for me to color them!"
["The_Escaping_Mole" is banned by the moderator for 12 hours]
Old White: "?!"
Irene: "Danger! (?° ?? ?°) ”
Light: "Don''t post strange pictures. All obscene pictures will be prohibited in the future. Although our serverplies with localws and regtions, we are a seriouspany and the game is also a serious game. Please restrain yourself and don''t post any pictures that are not family-friendly."
Although the qualifications for the game were only issued to adults, anyone could enter the official website. There were people of all ages on the forum, so such obscene pictures were really not suitable to be uploaded onto the forum.
Wastnd Online was a fun-oriented game that focuses on "easy entertainment and leisure development". There were no obscene scenes. This game would not promote micro-transaction, let alone pornography.
If anyone posted obscene pictures, the first-time offender would receive a formal warning and be banned for a certain period of time, the second-time offender would be directly listed on the dangerous ount lists, and the third-time offender would be permanently IP banned and kicked out of the game.
Since Chu Guang discovered that Little Seven could operate theputer instead of himself, Chu Guang even let Little Seven manage it.
After all, if it was manual management, he really couldn''t handle thousands of posts every day.
In addition to this, Chu Guang had also instructed Little Seven to highlight interesting strategy posts for him, so he could take a look at them when he was free.
He needed to pay more attention to those highlights.
What if there are some good ideas?
Then those ideas can be added to the alpha 0.6 version.
Night Ten: "Damnnit, I thought mods were asleep!"
Big_eyes_in_debt: "I see, so the game designer will onlye out if someone posts obscene pictures!"
Good_names_are_taken_by_dogs: "Spread the words around, the game designer was reading NSFW posts during work hours!"
Chu Guang: "..."
Gee.
This bunch of trolls!
Ample Time: "s! I feel sorry for my Old Brother Mole. He just drew a few pictures, but he got ruthlessly punished. It''s so miserable!"
Teng_teng: "Since you can''t draw the doujinshi of the administrator and the female mercenary, how about... Brother Mole, how about changing the female mercenary to a male? (o?▽?)o "
Night Ten: "I propose to draw Teng Teng and Ya Ya!"
Gale: "Second this!!!"
Irene: "Teng Teng and Ya Ya (?° ?? ?°) ”
WC_really_has_mosquitoes: "!!! Goblin Industry will sponsor one silver coin!"
Ya Ya: "What the hell?? (。 Д 。;)"
Teng_teng: "(?‵□′)?╰?╯"
...
With the end of the transaction with Horseshoe Firm, the time soon came to October.
As the vast majority of experienced survivors predicted, this year''s winter came earlier than ever.
It was just the beginning of October, but the daily average temperature on the surface had dropped from single digits to below zero. As the howling cold wind and falling snow swept the ground, it only took one night for the snow on the surface to build up from sole-deep to knee-deep.
Fortunately, the snow did not keep falling.
On this rare sunny day, this endless ruin ushered in a group of energetic and enthusiastic new yers.
They awakened from thefort of the culture chambers.
Looking at the extremely real bodies and the surrounding environment before them, they were shocked, surprised, and even ecstatic to a point that they couldn''t breathe.
Chu Guang locked the permission to open the door and gave them ten minutes to put on clothes and adjust their emotions so that they would not do shameless things in public.
Then he used the broadcast to remind them to gather in the central lobby on the B2 floor.
"Holy shit! Holy shit!….! It is really a virtual reality technology!"
"Shocking, I''m not dreaming, am I!?"
"Pinch me!... Huh? Why doesn''t it hurt at all?"
"You idiot! Didn’t you learn anything after waiting on the official website for more than half a month!? It is pain shielding, do you understand pain shielding?"
"Hehehe, can you open it? I want to open it..."
"...???"
Facing these shocked neers, the old yers were not surprised. After all, they also had simr reactions in the past.
In addition, new yers always entered the game batch by batch, so it had be one of the traditions or fun of this game to see the embarrassing behaviors of new yers.
"Oh my. That guy is not bad. He isn''t surprised at all, he must be a veteran yer."
"How do you know that he is not scared silly? Look at those pupils, they are all dted."
"s, the qualities of this batch of new people are not that great, their psychological endurance is not strong, and their surprised reactions are too exaggerated."
"Give me a break! You even have the audacity to say this! I clearly remember that when you just entered the game, you even wanted to take off your pants in front of everyone, but you were stopped by the people around you."n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Okay, okay, you can shut up."
Chu Guang also watched.
He was waiting for everyone to arrive.
At this moment, several screams suddenly came from behind the crowd.
Chu Guang looked up and found a white bear with a length of about 2.5 meters, holding on to the door frame timidly, its bear face popping out from the north entrance of the square nervously.
"How, howe I''m all hairy?"
Many yers nearby were taken aback, and instinctively moved away.
"Holy shit! There is a bear!"
"Bear?! Where?"
"Wow!"
The old yers were rather calm.
After all, there was even a Lizardman in the shelter, so what was so strange about having a bear?
This game would asionally give out special ounts, either with special talents or with a gic sequence different from that of normal yers.
As for Chu Guang?
He was even calmer.
After each yer logged in, their gic sequences would be updated in the [yer List] provided by the system. He was also the first to see that yer''s attribute panel.
[ID: Roshan
Gic sequence: Mutant - Bear
Level: Lv.0
——Basic attributes——
Strength: 9
Agility: 6
Physique: 7
Perception: 7
Intelligence: 3
]
[ Talent:
Cold Resistance (Highly resistant to severe cold, not good at hot environments, and subject to additional burn damage.)
Work Hard But Not Smart (Higher endurance, difficult to operateplex machinery)
Physical Regeneration (Stronger resilience, difficult in leveling gic sequence)
]
The agility, physique, and perception of this yer were 1 point lower than that of Mr. Garbage; the strength was 1 point higher than that of Mr. Garbage, and the intelligence was 1 point higher.
Of course, the aboveparison was using the stats of Mr. Garbage when he was still at LV.0, but now Mr. Garbage was at LV.2.
Although the initial attributes of the "mutants" sequence were generally stronger than those of the five mainstream sequences, the growth-weakening debuff that came with the mutants sequence was a serious w.
Such as Mr. Garbage.
Obviously, he was the first few yers who entered the game, but his level had been suppressed in the second echelon for quite a while. He had been ying the game for more than half a month but he was still only Lv. 2, which was really embarrassing.
Moreover, the characteristics of "Work hard but not smart" made them more inclined to engage in primitive activities, and it was difficult for them to operate the equipment as easily as normal humans.
Still using Mr. Garbage as an example. Even if the trigger and grip were improved, it was difficult for him to operate light weapons.
Anyway, Chu Guang''s feeling was that this guy had given up using a gun and hadpletely embarked on the path of physical evolution. If he could fight in closebat, he would, but if he couldn’t, he would throw javelins.
Most yers were happy to team up with him.
After all, who wouldn’t love tanks?
If he couldn''t get behind the enemy lines, he would be a target, but if he could, it would be a massacre!
When new yers first saw the bear, they were all panicked, but after discovering that this bear seemed to be very timid, they leaned forward curiously.
At this time, a short-haired female yer named [Tail] quickly walked around and curiously stretched out her hand to grab the tail of [Roshan], which scared the bear to jump forward.
"What are you doing!"
Tail smiled. "Bro, your ount is really awesome! How much did you pay for this ount?"
"I, I, I, I applied for it normally and waited for a long time. As for how to spend money on this game, there is no option for me to pay."
Another long-haired female yer named [Sisi] came over as well, and curiously pulled the fluffy tail, scaring the bear into leaning its back against the wall.
"Speaking of which, why are you using such a strange name, Roshan?"
"I, I, I, I wanted to be called Rosan, but I made a typo. This game doesn’t have a rename function, so I can’t change it.."
Sisi suddenly smiled evilly.
"Understood, I will go to the forum to register an alt ount called Rosan."
"Please don’t…."
Tail touched her chin and thought for a while, then her right fist suddenly hit the palm of the other hand.
"It''s decided, I''ll call you Roro from now on! And you will be my mount. Wait, let me check if you have that thing first."
Roro almost wanted to cry.
"Go- go away! I''m a girl!"
Tailughed even more happily.
"It''s okay, me too! Hurry up and let me check it!"
Sisi: "Hey! Are you a pervert?"
"Of course not, how can a woman be a pervert!"
After a lot of noise, Tail finally let go of the bear in disappointment, and smacked her lips. "Tsk, there’s nothing."
Needless to say, this furry animal was still very attractive to female yers.
The sad thing was, this bear was very timid and was not domineering at all. If it was the mutant brown bears on the wastnd, they could even kill a creeper with just one p.
But having said that, if yers in the mutants sequence didn''t have those organs. Was this RoRo bear a male bear or a female bear?
Emmm...
Whatever.
This question was too difficult for Chu Guang.
He decided to just stick to the yer''s gender.
After all the yers arrived at the lobby, Chu Guang cleared his throat loudly to signal them to be quiet.
Then, Chu Guang said in a solemn voice.
"The war is over."
"The bad news, however, is that our world has changed beyond recognition."
"Now is the 200th year after the war. Fortunately, we have sessfully survived the most difficult years. To be able to stand here means that you are already more fortunate than 12 billion people. But now I need you to recognize the current situation as soon as possible and then fulfill your deration under the banner of the Federation of People!"
"The one next to me is my assistant, its name is Little Seven. You can ask it any questions about shelter or things you don''t understand."
Just like many times before, Chu Guang announced the rules and regtions of the shelter to the hundred yers who had just climbed out of the culture chambers as the administrator of the shelter.
The "cutscenes" of each yer when they just entered the game were the same, but the "alpha 0.5 version" was slightly different from the previous versions. Chu Guang had added a special task for old yers who had reached the citizen level.
That was, to help newbies to level up.
All yers who had reached the level of citizenship and received a VM device could receive the mission of "Passing The Torch" in the mission system.
The mission content was very simple.
yers who received the mission could choose up to three newbies and be their "novice guides", as long as they could help them to level up from Lv0 to Lv1 within a week, they would receive 100 contribution points and 10 silver coins as rewards.
100 contribution points were not attractive to yers who reached the citizen level, but the reward of 10 silver coins was still very attractive.
Like the strength type, as long as they kept cutting down the tree until they were exhausted, they could almost reach Lv1 by simply cutting trees two days in a row.
Other sequences’ leveling required some skills. But basically, except for the intelligence type, it was not too difficult to level up from Lv0 to Lv1, and they could almostplete the mission in about three days.
While leading people to level up, they could also do other tasks to make money, and they could also bring three minions at a time. This was basically easy money, so why not do it?
In addition, neers with gic sequence level Lv0 could also receive the rted task of "Passing The Torch" through the public notice in the lobby.
They could choose a "shelter veteran" with VM equipment to serve as their "novice guide".
As long as they leveled up to Lv1, they could get 80 contribution points and 8 silver coins, which was basically equivalent to the normal 12-hour ie of new yers.
This numerical design was very reasonable.
The reason forunching the mission of "Passing The Torch" was to allow the newbies to quickly be familiar with the game so as not to run around blindly like headless flies. In addition, it was to integrate them into Shelter 404.
Especially thetter.
For a ss of 100 people, even changing seats would change the ss environment, let alone suddenly doubling the number of people.
Chu Guang knew very well that the biggest challenge brought by the alpha 0.5 version update was not the server''s CPU, but the impact of new yers on the Wastnd Online server environment.
After all, this kind of game with a high threshold, hardcore elements, and a "virtualmunity" as its selling point was determined by its gamey and the server environment. They were above everything else.
It was like a normal online game. When everyone was having fun, but suddenly, it became free for a limited time on weekends; it would instantly be impossible to have fun if there were a few bad yers joining the game.
Just like a certain game called Squad.
A new person could be a nightmare for the whole team. Especially when the dumb yer grabbed the only "sniper" or RPG in the team, or even got into the vehicle team to be a vehicle driver, it would be the beginning of the nightmare.
But could you me them?
Not entirely.
Everyone came from newbies. Except for trolls who would take pleasure in destroying the game experience of others, most people would learn.
As long as someone was willing to teach, new yers would still be willing to learn. In this way, the server environment would naturally get better.
In fact, from the perspective of making money, the normal logic was to drive away the old yers who had paid for the game and let those few bad yers run around on the server doing anything they liked. In this way, it could not only make those bad yers be addicted to the game, but also stimte consumption. When bad yers be addicted to trolling, the server would immediately ban them, which may annoy the trolls and make them open a few more ounts to attack the server. But what those trolls wouldn’t know was that this would only boost the game sales.
For example, the practice used by a certain game studio called blue something hole.
But was Chu Guang that kind of person?
What was the use of money?
It was useless to him!
Wastnd Online would rather operate at a loss to give yers the best gaming experience and maintain the best server environment to the end!
"With VM, friends and team systems can be rolled out soon. All of these features are great tools for maintaining the social ecosystem of an MMORPG."
"When there are more yers in the future, the gap in level, wealth, andbat power will widen, and the guild system can be gradually developed."
"A powerful guild will then be able to be upgraded to a legion, and can be sent out to explore wastnd or fight."
"Mhm, the guild and the legion can be associated with the yer’s status level. A yer who made enough contributions to the shelter can be a ruler of the explorednd, a guild leader, and even a legion leader."
"I''m really a genius!"
Looking at the yers who were already starting to look for team members in the lobby, Chu Guang''s expressionless face couldn''t help revealing a smile of satisfaction.
Very good.
These new yers are growing vigorously.
