Chapter 178.1: That's a Good Idea. Ima Use It In the Next Update

On the official website.

[Update Alpha 0.81:

Added "Scientific Expedition Team Mission"

]

[Scientific Expedition Team Mission:

Shelter 404’s scientific expedition team is finally established. Its goal is the relics of the pre-war civilization! As the head of the scientific expedition, Yin Fang will release missions from time to time to ask players to place exploration beacons on the map, and give rewards or hidden missions based on the clues related to scientific expedition ruins provided by players.

]

[Yin Fang:

I didn't betray the Academy, but the Academy betrayed me. Errors will eventually be corrected, I will find out what happened two hundred years ago, and find the Shelter 0, the last hope of human civilization!

]

[Tips from Light:

When NPCs have any needs, a yellow question mark will appear on his icon on the map. Repeated attempts to use meaningless dialogue will not trigger the hidden mission, but will only reduce the NPC's favorability. In addition, the triggering of the mission does not necessarily have to be through dialogue, it is also possible to access the mission through the VM.

Tail: The Throne! (｀?′)Ψ

Quit Smoking: Shocked! Alpha 0.81 is out! The devs are awesome!

Night Ten: Quit Smoking, that’s enough. Light only needs one bootlicker and that’s Ample Time, you don’t need to join him. Your behavior makes me very sad. ( ?° ?? ?°)

Ample Time: Fuck off, when did I lick Light’s boots? (Angry)

Teng Teng: ?(????ω????)?

Ample Time: ?!

Chu Guang, who was peeking at the screen, finally couldn't help laughing.

He could testify that Ample Time had indeed never licked his boots before. At most, he just understood his position better. After all, there were a lot of great ideas in his new folder that came from him.

After peeking at the screen for a while, Chu Guang felt like he was struggling to keep his eyelids open. He glanced at the clock, noticing that it was already very late. So he yawned, got up, and went to sleep.

That night.

He had a long, long dream, dreaming that he was walking by the lake, followed by the guy named Dr. Principle and another person.

Although he couldn't see another person’s face clearly, Chu Guang felt that it was most likely Yin Fang.

After realizing what was going on, Chu Guang was very speechless. Why didn't he dream of any woman?!

This dream was also very strange.

The lake was covered by fog, and the path they walked on seemed to be very long. The same as the endless path, the lake was as vast as the sea, with no end of the sparkling water surface in sight.

The moon was bright and the air was quiet and serene.

After walking for a long time, a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Which year is it now?"

Chu Guang was about to answer, but Dr. Principle's number one simp, Yin Fang, spoke first. "It's the year 2340!"

Dr. Principle beside him nodded and suddenly said with emotion. "2340... It's been too long."

The next second, Chu Guang was startled awake.

After waking up, Chu Guang opened his eyes calmly and blinked at the ceiling.

With sweat all over his back, as if he had been fished out of water, Chu Guang even suspected that someone had thrown him into the lake to take a bath while he was asleep.

His sheets and clothes were soaked.

No doubt, every time it happened meant that he leveled up.

"Damn it... Next time I'll sleep in the nurturing cabin as well."

Chu Guang seriously doubted that the players were also sweating when leveling up, but they were lying in the nurturing cabin and all the metabolites were drained out.

Anyway, it seemed that the recent exercise had paid off.

Chu Guang rolled over and got up. His bones were crackling as he moved, and his eyesight was clearer than ever before. It felt like he had just drunk a bottle of taurine.

After moving his limbs, Chu Guang quickly adapted to the new body, then walked to the residents' lobby and used the medical equipment to check himself.

“I gained two attribute points this time?" Chu Guang took a look again in surprise. He only increased one level, but his strength and intelligence both increased by 1 attribute point at the same time.

"It seems that the growth of body function with the progress of genetic sequence development is not completely linear."

"Unfortunately, the rule is still a mystery."

Just as Chu Guang was staring at the medical examination report thoughtfully, there were light footsteps appearing not far away from him. Xia Yan, who had just woken up, yawned and walked in from the corridor at the side.

Noticing the sheet Chu Guang was carrying on his shoulders, she froze for a moment with a strange expression. "Why do you change the sheets every day?"

Chu Guang replied casually. "I don’t do it every day."

Xia Yan's gaze moved down unconsciously, just in time to see the sweaty clothes and swollen muscles. Honestly, on the surface, Chu Guang’s physique was not uncommon in the wasteland. However, with his handsome face, his charm was deadly to Xia Yan.

"You... Can you... Can you put some clothes on?!" Xia Yan’s face suddenly turned red, as she looked away to walk away hurriedly.

Chu Guang ignored her and hummed a little tune before the peak time of players going online. He went to level B2 to take a shower, and after changing into clean clothes, he threw the sheets into the washing machine.

There was a public washing machine in the shower area, which was scientifically sterilized and automatically dried. It was very convenient and it only took 1 silver coin to use it once. However, if players didn’t want to pay, they could also go to the lake, where it was free, but there was a risk of being killed by the mutants in the lake.

After finishing washing, Chu Guang returned to the administrator's office and sat down, ready to rest for a while before going up. But as soon as he sat down, he saw Yin Fang push the door and walk in.

"Are your residents crazy?! They are at my door early in the morning and follow me wherever I go. It's even more exaggerated than yesterday!" Yin Fang glanced nervously behind him while saying that. But he found that the shelter residents didn’t follow him into the administrator’s office.

Seeing his nervous appearance, Chu Guang smiled and poured him a cup of hot water. "Relax, they were all excited when they heard that you were planning to set up a scientific expedition team. Isn't that a good thing? Trust me, as long as you find something for them to do, they will naturally leave you alone... Come on, Drink some hot water."

Yin Fang, who took the cup, shook his head. "But I don't need that many people! I only need four, at most eight!"

He only had limited clues at the moment. He might need more people in the future, but he didn’t need that many for the time being.

"I know, you don't need to hire all of them. You just need to pick a few that look reliable. I have already given you a ranking list. Basically, the higher the rank, the more reliable the player." Chu Guang shared a little life experience with him.

That was what he came up with from all his experience.

Yin Fang sighed and said, "I don't even know how your rank list is formulated, let alone how reliable it is. With all due respect, you should have a career assessment system, otherwise how would I know they are better at chopping down trees or better at picking up litter?"

Chu Guang said with his eyes lit up. "Good idea, that can be integrated into the next update."

"...?"

Update?

Yin Fang was confused, but didn't take it too seriously.

𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

After all, that wasn't the first time he didn't understand the self-made phrases that occasionally popped out of the administrator's mouth.

"Anyway, ask your residents to stop following me, I'm really worried that there’s something wrong with their heads. Also, in order to start work as soon as possible, I need some materials."

Chu Guang looked at him and said, "No problem, what materials do you need? Tell us where we can find it, and then we will help you get it."

Yin Fang frowned and mumbled, "Dr. Principle's video related to three locations, the Great Rift Valley, Shelter 117, and Xinwu Community College."

Chu Guang couldn’t help but ask, "We are already clearing the entrance to Shelter 117, but where is Xinwu Community College?"

"It's where we found the video, and it's also where Dr. Principle woke up!"

"Is there anything worth investigating there?" In Chu Guang's impression, that place seemed pretty empty.

After all, according to the narration in the video, there used to be more than a thousand survivors living in that community college.

Like tables, chairs, wooden benches, and even the books in the library, they were used as fuel and burned two hundred years ago, leaving nothing behind.

Yin Fang shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the place is too damaged and it's hard to find any valuable clues. But even so, the location itself is a very important clue."

Chu Guang raised an eyebrow curiously, "What makes you say that?"

"This is related to the workflow of prospectors." Yin Fang continued with a confident smile on his face. "And also common sense in the pre-war era. No scientific institution could exist independently of society's support. An institute may manage hundreds of subjects, which may be supported by thousands of funding sources, and participated by tens of thousands of researchers. The research results would not be stored in only one place. As long as we find one of the clues, it is possible to find the rest.”

“Some electronic files may be damaged due to an EMP or lack of maintenance, but many important records were kept in paper archives. The papers and anti-oxidation ink made of high polymer materials could survive even two thousand years, let alone two hundred years!"

As expected of an expert.

After listening to Yin Fang's statement, Chu Guang nodded approvingly.
