Chapter 138.2: Fucking Crazy Amazing Promotional Video...
In the Bull and Horse Club.
Recently, the group has become a Wasteland Online game group. Every day, several group members were only discussing things related to Wasteland Online.
As soon as news of Alpha 0.7 was updated, the group became lively in an instant.
Night Ten: Damn it, the official website has been occupied by non test players! The Alpha 0.7 version has been out for half an hour, but I can’t see any posts discussing the new version at the top of the forum! You gotta be kidding me!
Gale: Calm down, This is normal. I just took a look at Number of applications. It’s almost 6000. You have to understand the people who are still queuing in the forum.
Ample Time: +1, I don’t mind it anyway. It will be lively if there are more people. Besides, without those people, who are you going to show off to? (Grinning)
Night Ten: Screw you! Then why do you always stop me when I’m trying to show off!
Old White: What you were doing wasn’t showing off. You are trying to pull hatred under the Devs’ noses. Okay, let’s stop talking about this. Have you seen the update announcement? The content of this update seems to be a bit awesome!
Ample Time: It’s the new expansion. How can it not be awesome? I’m already prepared! When the quartermaster NPC appears, I’ll apply straightaway. (Grinning)
Night Ten: Wait, what about the Greenhouse Ruins?Ample Time: Don’t panic, everything has a priority. If you want to stay on the T0 ladder, you must follow the expansion. Let’s find out the situation of the expansion pack first! As for the Greenhouse Ruins, there are still 7 days left. Even if it is expired, it’s not a big deal. At worst, we can spend some money to bid on it again. At most, we will lose 50% of the profit. So don’t worry about it.
Gale: Indeed, this Continental Vessel expansion seems to have exclusive event points for the expansion, and after the expansion, not only will there be a limited title, but also a lottery draw.
Old White: I am more curious about the mysterious gifts for the top ten players, I don’t know what the rewards will be. If it is an exoframe, it will be awesome. It will be much easier for us to kill moths. (Smiling)
Tomato Eggs: Oh, I don’t know if the chef profession can come in handy. T.T
Sword Execution: Calm down, I’m already very satisfied that I can go and look at the land-based fortress at close range. As for other things, it’s not important anymore!
Mosquito: Speaking of which, we are going to help them to repair that land-based fortress, right? I took a look at the CGI, how should this thing be repaired? Have you guys ever seen similar things in reality?
Ample Time: No, but I don’t think the game developers would expect players to figure it out on their own. I think when the new map opens, the devs will simply add a few NPCs to release some missions such as scavenging or exploration to collect the materials needed to repair the equipment. As for the specific repair work, it will be done by NPCs.
Gale: It makes sense. So doesn’t it mean that this new expansion pack is equivalent to changing to another map to pick up trash?
Ample Time: Uh, that I don’t know. I just think that with such a big expansion, there should be some plotline. Why don’t you tag Light? He must know, but I guess he probably won’t tell you. (Wink)
Quit_smoking: @Light!!! You are awesome! Brother Light I love you! Hahahaha, I finally got it! QAQ
Night Ten: ?
Gale: ??
Old White: ???
Garbage: Seriously?
...
There were a total of 100 questions in the questionnaire for players to answer.
It included 30 general knowledge questions, 20 questions for design expertise, 40 subjective questions to test personality, logical thinking, and character portraits, and 10 troll prevention questions.
Those 100 questions would determine the weight score of each potential player, as well as the user’s crowd portrait label. The two were also used as a reference for issuing testing qualifications, and would not be displayed on any user-visible page, nor would data be sold to other parties, fully taking care of user privacy.
Players who scored between 100 and 60 points and meet the requirements of the current version would enter the lottery pool where the qualification for the closed alpha would be issued.
Among them, each 10 point difference would be divided into a section, and the number of places issued by different sections was different.
In principle, the higher the score, the higher the probability of winning the qualification for the test. The lower the score was, the smaller the chance was.
In addition, the troll prevention questions would not add or subtract points, but if someone chose the wrong option, the hidden weight points would be reset to zero.
For example, if someone chose to be a marauder in the question about what their dream career was, or if they enjoyed killing people when playing other games, their qualifications to join the game would be stripped immediately.
A lot of things were written in the user manual. If people answered the questions without reading it carefully, or filled in the questions without taking it seriously, then they would need to wait for the public beta.
Except for some players with special talents who would be qualified by default, most of the qualifications for the closed alpha were issued that way.
As for how long they had been waiting, it would not affect the probability of being picked.
If they didn’t win the lottery for several versions in a row...
It was not because they were on the blacklist, but they were really unlucky.
Chu Guang didn’t notice Quit Smoking’s message. In fact, he didn’t even log into his instant messenger. After browsing the official website, he focused his attention on his system.
The mission to destroy the mutant human tribe had awarded him with 200 reward points, which could be described as getting a sudden windfall.
Chu Guang, who had just drawn two advanced loot boxes, was able to draw even more prizes.
"211 reward points... I’ll just open 2 advanced loot boxes and 11 basic loot boxes."
It was meaningless to buy an intermediate loot box.
Chu Guang was not very short of medicine, and his players didn’t seem to need to use them. After a few battles, he basically gave up treating players who suffered major injuries, and only asked players with minor injuries to lay down in the nurturing cabin to recover.
By now, Chu Guang had already stocked up several bandages, as well as healing syringes, so it would not make much difference to give him another one.
Unless he drew a syringe that increased his attributes, otherwise, it would only end up in his drawer. It was better to bet on the basic loot box. Drawing a lollipop with attributes would be great, and getting seasoning would be even better.
The alloy door on the wall shook.
Looking at what was brought to him by the conveyor belt, Chu Guang held his breath in excitement, but eventually couldn’t help but curse, "Holy fuck! This…"
Mechanical exoskeleton?!
He actually saw an exoskeleton on the conveyor belt!
The streamlined shape, the powerful alloy frame, and the layers of armor attached to the frame!
Chu Guang couldn’t describe his excitement.
His exoskeleton was finally no longer just a skeleton!
[Equipment: Type 5 Light Cavalry Light Police Exoskeleton]
[Note: Compared with the Type 6 heavy police exoskeleton, the Type 5 light police exoskeleton not only has light weapons defense, but also has stronger mobility and longer battery life, suitable for a variety of scenarios. It should be noted that although the polymer-based composite armor can resist bullets, the material itself is not durable. It is best not to think of this as an exoframe and leave the cover recklessly. Please call for support when encountering fierce firepower. In addition, if conditions permit, please try to use it with body armor.]
Chu Guang glanced at the detailed parameters of this police exoskeleton. Whether it was endurance or load-bearing capacity, the attributes of this exoskeleton were far superior to his KV-1 Exoskeleton!
Well… It was actually pretty obvious when he thought about it.
After all, the KV-1 exoskeleton was a general-purpose model produced by Boulder Town. Except for the battery that was considered incredible technology, the other aspects weren’t actually impressive.
Light Cavalry was different.
The exoskeleton he received was not only from the pre-war era, but also police equipment! In the words of an MMORPG, the prefix of the equipment was one rank higher than those used by civilians.
In addition to the carbon nano protective suit that Chu Guang has always been wearing, he had two sets of body armor.
He felt extremely safe at the moment.
"It’s decided, I’ll sell the eliminated equipment to the players!"
"The KV-1 exoskeleton bought from Liszt cost me 800 chips. Let me see... Mhm, I’ll just sell them 800 silver coins!"
After all, it was the armor worn by the administrator. So it was no problem to sell it for a slightly higher price, right?
In order to make players feel that it was worth it, Chu Guang decided to give his exoskeleton a name later, and then make up a twisted and bizarre story.
Chu Guang, who wore the exoskeleton, stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself for a while, feeling that the guy in the mirror was extremely handsome.
"Yes! This is more like it."
"It’s like the embodiment of justice!"
This equipment was simply tailor-made for me, wahaha!
After finally getting over his excitement, Chu Guang then looked at another piece of equipment lying on the conveyor belt.
Just looking at the shape of this equipment, he could feel that it was no simple trash.
The triangular butt, the jet-black gun body, and the two long magnetic rails extend outward from the gun body, with a hollow in the middle, which looked like a ridiculously long tuning fork from a distance.
The light blue label hovered next to it, answering all the confusions in Chu Guang’s mind.
[Equipment: Type 20 Gauss Rifle, Thorn]
