Chapter 219.2: New Talents

"..."

Looking through the chat records in the group, Chu Guang silently collected the experience summed up by the players in a document.

Although he could see the skills of each player in the background, all he could see was the panel data, and the specific situation would still need to depend on the evaluation and feedback of the players.

"... The constitution sequence may enter a strong period after this. Its talents focus on the enhancement of survivability, and the types of talents are more abundant than other sequences."

However, the sequence was somewhat dependent on its talent, and not everyone could get the magical skill of Balance.

In addition, even if the intelligence type sequence awakened a talent, its combat power would not be improved significantly.

It seemed that this sequence was very unfriendly to newcomers.

It would be fine if the player decided to go for the Life Profession route. But going for the Combat Profession route would rely too much on the assistance of external equipment, which would probably burn a lot of money.

"Little Seven." Chu Guang called suddenly.

Following Chu Guang's yell, Little Seven's voice drifted over from the side. "Hmm... I'm here, Master."

Chu Guang marked the document and leaned back in his chair. "Help me sort out the content in the document and update it to the settings on the official website."

"There will be 300 newcomers in Alpha 1.0, and this information should give them some help."

After listening to Chu Guang's instructions, Little Seven buzzed happily, "Hmm! No problem, leave it to Little Seven!"

As soon as the voice fell, a cute little Klee popped up on the desktop, giving him a thumbs up.

Although most likely, the emojis were stolen from the forum, Chu Guang couldn't help but smile, feeling that the fatigue of the day's work had dissipated.

Turning off the emoji, Chu Guang was planning to edit the plan for the New Year's Day event.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the office.

After knocking on the door twice, Dr. Yin Fang opened the door and walked in.

He held a round silver-white earphone in his hand. The outer shell of the earphone looked like an aluminum alloy, seemingly not too heavy. Its size was also quite small, and it could cover half of an ear after wearing it.

There was a camera on the front of the earphone, which was perpendicular to the earlobe, and it just happened to face the front after it was put on.

If the user wanted to take a photo, they just needed to press the button on the side of the earphone. And if they wanted to take a video, they could press and hold it for two seconds, and press it again to turn it off.

Putting the earphone on Chu Guang's desk, Dr. Yin Fang said, "I made the earphone you want for you. As you said, on the basis of the two functions of videography and photography, the communication function has also been added."

"However, I have to remind you that the signal transmission and reception range of a VM... that is, the Vital Monitor, is very wide, even up to 20 kilometers, but the bandwidth of information transmission is not very large. Text and images are fine. But if you want to transmit audio, or even video, you may have to get a portable radio for it."

Chu Guang tried to understand what Yin Fang just dumped on him.

To put it simply, the earphone needed to work with the VM, and it was because it borrowed components such as communication chips and signal transmitters on the VM that it could be made so small.

However, a VM was only a self-rescue tool that was used to facilitate search and rescue missions. When designing it, stability and reliability were its primary focus, so it was unsuitable as a tool for large-scale data transmission over long distances.

With the help of the VM's signal transmitter, it was possible to use this earphone to communicate between teams, and it was barely enough to communicate with the outpost from more than ten kilometers away, but it was still a bit difficult to do a live broadcast.

Unless, it was very close to the cell tower, or equip the squad with a more professional mobile station with stronger signal transmission and reception capabilities.

It was actually not difficult to solve the problem. Whether it was a signal tower or a mobile station, if Chu Guang did not deliberately pursue high integration, lightness, and compactness, it could even be solved by using relatively primitive radio equipment.

Not just the mobile radio station, Chu Guang also planned to build another signal tower in Longevity Town to cover the area north of Elm District and provide information services for players who were going to explore further areas.

Picking up the earphone on the table and looking at it for a moment, Chu Guang looked at Yin Fang and asked, "Is this the only one?"

"I made 5 in total." Yin Fang took out 4 more earphones from his pocket, put them on the table, and sighed softly, "I've uploaded the design drawings to your computer, including that portable radio. You can find someone to copy it, it's not difficult... So please, don't bother me with this kind of thing again, there's a bunch of data that needs to be processed, and that robot... I don't have time to deal with everything."

Although Chu Guang understood that the mission of the scientific expedition team was very heavy, Yin Fang was the only one in the shelter who knew how to deal with those complicated carbon-based circuit boards.

With a helpless expression, Chu Guang looked at him and muttered, "I will try my best."

After Yin Fang left, Chu Guang took a look at the drawings he sent him. The contents were written in great detail.

Including where to collect the required materials, how to handle those collected materials, and how to put them together.

Chu Guang planned to find a few survivors who had relevant knowledge in making a radio to try to imitate a few more sets according to the steps on the drawing, and then send them to the frontline team leaders to facilitate unified command.

After writing the plan on the work log, Chu Guang continued to edit the document for the New Year's Day event.

[Wasteland Online's First New Year's Celebration!]

[Note:

New Year's Day is an important holiday in the wasteland! In order to celebrate having survived another year and pray for good luck in the coming year, scavengers in the wasteland often go out to look for food a week in advance, searching for ingredients for the New Year's Eve meal!

]

[

What magical delicacy will be recorded into the menu for New Year's Eve this year? What kind of fancy beast will be eaten to extinction next year?

]

[

The administrator has prepared a mysterious gift for all residents participating in the event. In fact, participation itself is a reward!

]

[

In addition, the winner of the event would also receive the honorable title of Wasteland Gourmet and be recorded in the Hall of Fame!

]

[

The administrator here reminds everyone again that safety always comes first!

]

[

In any case, don't try to eat something that will make you sick unless you want to miss the celebration!

]

[Event Start Date:

December 31st of Year 211 of the Wasteland Era to 1st Janurary of year 212 of the Wasteland Era.

]

[Requirement:

Use the ingredients that are easily available in the wasteland to make simple and delicious food.

]

After reading the event plan from beginning to end, Chu Guang showed a satisfied expression on his face.

Good!

The only fly in the ointment was that players couldn't spend real money in such an important festival event.

If Chu Guang added a spending requirement in this event, it would be exactly the same as

Diablo Immortal

.

Anyway, in order to prevent players from courting death and causing non-combat attrition, Chu Guang decided to appoint Yaya as the taster after careful consideration.

He believed that the helpful mushroom girl would be happy to accept this mission.

"This way, there won't be any accidents!"

The day after the next would be the 25th.

After completing the final revision of the event plan, Chu Guang double-clicked his mouse, setting the publishing time to evening the next day. He yawned, stretched, and went back to his room to sleep.

...

Perhaps it was because he had been working too hard recently, Chu Guang had a long dream at night.

However, the dream this time was not a nightmare, at most, it was a bit bizarre.

The person who chased him for DNA changed from Hyrja to Xia Yan.

After waking up, Chu Guang was sweating all over. He then waited until the peak time of players going online and offline was over before going to level B3.

Medical Laboratory.

The silver-haired sister, Hyrja, was observing the sliced specimens collected by the players.

Seeing Chu Guang coming, she immediately stopped what she was doing, skillfully opened the scanning bed next to her, and patted the pillow. "Come on, lie down here."

Perhaps it was because she was observing the specimen a moment ago, Chu Guang always felt that the way she looked at him was kind of scary.

But with Little Seven around, Chu Guang wasn't worried that anyone in the shelter could hurt him.

𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Seeing the sample lying obediently on the scanning bed, Hyrja excitedly walked to the terminal at the bedside and pressed a few buttons on the touch screen.

Accompanied by a slight electric sound, the scanning equipment quickly began to work.

After waiting for a while, the sorted property panel appeared in front of Chu Guang.

[ID:

Perhaps because of the recent good training, his level had been increased, and he was at LV15.

"I don't know if I will awaken again after LV20." Chu Guang's gaze stopped on the bracketed suffix behind the genetic sequence.

LV1 was the first stage, and LV10 was the second stage. Similarly, the third stage should be at LV20.

In addition, although the upgrade rule of the administrator sequence was still not clear, Chu Guang could clearly feel that each upgrade was getting more and more difficult.

"Unbelievable... The statistics of your body are far beyond the scope of normal people. How did you do this?!" Sitting in front of the terminal at the bedside of the scanning bed, Hyrja looked at Chu Guang with an incredulous look on her face.

Chu Guang was not surprised by her reaction.

He got up from the bed, straightened his collar, and replied casually, "I want to know it too, why don't you study it for me?"

Hyrja nodded. "No problem, but before that... I have something here that you might be interested in."

Chu Guang cast an inquiring look at her. "What is it?"

"Research on Slime Mold Mutants..." Saying that, Hyrja took a VM-converted tablet from the side and turned it in front of Chu Guang.

"According to the slice samples provided by your players, my previous guess has been confirmed. Many Slime Mold Mutants, including Cruncher, Creeper, Suicide Bomber, and Tyrants, are not just the maturing bodies of variant Slime Mold. All their physiological phenomena and biological behaviors such as their shapes, predatory behavior, etc. are in fact imitating us."

Chu Guang raised his eyebrows slightly. "Us?"

"Humans, but not limited to humans. They even imitate... Machines." Hyrja nodded slightly, and after a pause, she continued. "For example, the Tyrant... I found a form that is highly similar to the Cruncher in its body, yet its outer shell is a layer of hardened body structure that is completely different from the Cruncher. This also leads to the fact that even if 90% of its outer body is destroyed, it can still continue to hunt, and use the organic matter obtained from its prey to release spores, spread slime molds, and slowly repair its damaged body."

"Does this sound surprising?"

Seeing that Chu Guang gradually showed a surprised look on his face, Hyrja continued to talk about her surprising discovery with an excited expression.

"It's imitating us. Although a bit clumsy, it's not completely useless. It feels like... um." Frowning for a moment, Hyrja seemed to try to figure out how to describe her discovery.

However, Chu Guang understood what she meant.

Swallowed, he tried to ask. "... It's like putting a biomass exoskeleton or exoframe on the outside of a Cruncher?"

Eyes instantly lighting up, Hyrja snapped her fingers. "Yes, that's what it feels like! Isn't it amazing? No wonder those people are always clamoring to go out. The outside world is simply incredible..."

Hyrja was still running her mouth.

However, Chu Guang could not feel her joy in discovery. He even had a slight headache.

Biomass armor that can repair itself, and those amazing imitating abilities displayed by the Slime Mold... What the hell is this monster?

"Is there any way to make the bodies of Slime Mold Mutants edible?" Chu Guang interrupted Hyrja's speech and asked her with a serious look.

Hyrja froze for a moment, then looked at him with a look of confusion. "Edible? Why do you want to eat something like that..."

Chu Guang sighed lightly, "Because I really can't think of a better use for it."
