Chapter 283.1: Level B4, Unlocked!

Chu Guang was not interested in being a feudal lord. The times had changed. If he practiced that system, people would change it back in the future anyway.

That would be too much trouble.

When the time comes, a lot of blood would be shed again.

If he was crowned emperor, the players might think it was cool, and the aboriginal people would not have any opinions, but he might lose the support of conservative shelter residents like Hyrja.

80% of the inheritance of the Federation of People had been inherited by the blue coats, and the origins of many major forces, including the Enterprise, all come from the shelters with top tier genetic sequences.

Losing their favorability was equivalent to giving himself a debuff of -80% technological development. This was simply unacceptable for Chu Guang who always aimed for a Science victory in

Civilization

while always choosing materialism in

Stellaris

.

He didn't intend to follow the old path of the Federation of People either.

Full-domain decentralization would require an extremely rich base of computing power resources and productivity. The methods of the Prosperity Era may not be practical in the wasteland era.

Chu Guang knew exactly what he needed.

He needed centralized power to ensure that each of his plans could be carried out smoothly, but at the same time, he also needed to carefully handle the relationship with the legacy inheritors.

It was actually not that difficult.

He could set up a coalition, and then promulgate a special Restoration Act in the name of the coalition, giving himself necessary powers within a certain period of time.

After the Beta test started, Shelter 404 would join forces with Shelter 117 to form a new alliance in the name of ‘Restoring the Federation of People and rebuilding order’.

The northern suburbs of Clearspring City would be designated as a restored zone, and survivors living in the northern suburbs would automatically obtain the status of residents.

The outpost, industrial area, Longevity Town, and a large area of land in Elm District would also be renamed the new settlement after his code name.

He would call it the capital of the Restored Zone.

As for Chu Guang himself...

He would neither be the emperor of an empire nor the leader elected by the representatives of the Federation of People. If that was necessary, he would temporarily appoint someone to be either one at any time.

Under the auspices of the Restoration Act, the administrator would be in charge of everything within the Restored Zone.

...

The day before the celebration, the outpost was filled with lights and festoons.

Considering the importance of this celebration, Chu Guang set up a festival celebration committee, appointed Teng Teng as director, Ya Ya as deputy director, Xiaoyu as mascot + budget supervisor, and allocated a budget of several thousand silver coins to this committee.

In order to boost the enthusiasm of the players, Chu Guang also specially promised that after the celebration, if the satisfaction survey of a player reached more than 80%, a limited title would be unlocked. If the satisfaction could reach 90%, they could enter the Hall of Fame as someone who had made a special achievement.

Upon hearing that there was a limited title, the players who received the mission instantly became excited.

Through the lens of the Hummingbird drones, Chu Guang had a teacher-like smile on his face as he overlooked everything in the outpost.

This feeling was like letting students study in the classroom by themselves while he was sitting in the office drinking tea alone.

As a group of veteran players, they had learned to share the worries of the developers who were too lazy to plan game activities, and plan game activities by themselves.

Very nice......

Glancing at the time under the computer, Chu Guang saw that it was almost time, so he turned off the computer, got up and left the administrator's office.

At the same time, in front of the elevator on level B1.

3 players were standing at the door furtively, as if they were waiting for something.

Battlefield Cheerleader and Darkest, who had just come up from level B2, bumped into these guys as soon as the door opened, and were taken aback by the three faces that suddenly appeared behind the lift door.

Darkest had the biggest reaction. "Oh my god, you scared the crap out of me! What are you all doing here?"

Silver Sword waved his hand dismissively and said. "Go away, go away, we are busy, don't get in the way."

Silver Hand next to him also echoed excitedly, "That's right! We're doing something very important at the moment!"

Darkest asked curiously, being aroused by the serious expressions of these three idiots. "What important things?"

Silver's Father smiled calmly and said confidently. "The Beta test and celebration begins tomorrow, right?"

Darkest nodded in confusion. "Yes."

To be precise, the Beta test would start after the celebration ended.

Silver's Father continued "As is customary, the shelter will unlock new floors during this time, right?"

Darkest exchanged glances with Battlefield Cheerleader, who nodded with a strange expression. "It seems... It seems like there is such a saying."

Battlefield Cheerleader still remembered Escaping Mole's post. His Mole's Daily on the forum would often reveal some interesting details in the game.

Occasionally, if there was nothing interesting to be added, he would just use the small details of the NPC to make up the number. Although the players were not interested, they were deeply loved by the cloud gamers.

Before entering the game, Silver's Father was also one of the number one fans of Escaping Mole. Not only did he follow every issue of Mole's Daily, he even read all the discussions below the post.

"... According to the background setting of the game, not only the administrator, but all residents of Shelter 404, including us, came from the deepest part of the shelter. Whenever a new round of testing started, the shelter would unlock a new area."

Darkest raised his hand. "I have objections. Alpha 1.1 didn't unlock any floor, and the 400 newbies are all from Shelter 117."

"You're right. You are very observant, but you're still a bit lacking." Silver's Father nodded approvingly, with a profound expression, "The nurturing cabins in Shelter 117 were dragged over from Shelter 404, and these nurturing cabins were transported up from the freight elevator on level B1, so in the final analysis, the players in Shelter 117 are also from 404."

He knew it best. After all, he had been the person lugging the nurturing cabins over.

Who the hell would pay attention to this.

Darkest thought and said helplessly. "Okay, so what?"

𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Silver's Father smiled slightly and said, "Level B3 is running out of space, and there is no extra room in the Shelter 117, so I dare to assert that this version update will definitely unlock a new floor!"

Darkest wanted to ask further, but Battlefield Cheerleader, who was standing beside him, saw through their plans at a glance and said bluntly, "I know what you are doing now. You're trying to clip through walls during the cutscene and go to the new floor"

Silver's Father didn't speak, but Silver Hand next to him grinned. "Clever!"

Darkest gasped, "Damn! You can do this in the game?"

Battlefield Cheerleader rolled his eyes, looked at Darkest and yawned, "Let's go, don't waste time with these rookies."

Darkest looked at him in surprise. "Wait, aren't you curious?"

Silver Sword and Silver Hand also shouted angrily, "Screw you! Are you looking down on the House of Silver?"

"Although I'm not as good as you, I'm still a man who has challenged a Tyrant head-on!"

"Yeah! Just you wait... We'll definitely surpass you one day!"

Battlefield Cheerleader chuckled, "Wait! I didn't say that. I just advise you not to play tricks. The NPCs in this game are smarter than you imagined... Forget it, it's useless to tell you. It's better to experience it yourself."

Leaving behind the ambiguous words, Battlefield Cheerleader walked away holding the back of his head, and Darkest temporarily left the team out of curiosity, intending to stay behind and find out what would happen.

At this time, the administrator walked over from the main entrance with a robot like a paper bin in his arms and stood in front of one of the elevators.

The three players immediately followed.

Chu Guang, who had 19 points of perception, had noticed them, but he didn't feel any hostility so he ignored them.

Seeing them approach him, Chu Guang gave them a strange look. "Is there a problem?"

Silver Hand smiled in response. "Dear administrator, we are just waiting for the elevator."

Silver Sword added, "That's right!"

The last player didn't speak, but he was probably waiting for the elevator as well.

Chu Guang nodded and said nothing.

As an elegant and easy-going man, he certainly wouldn't argue with the players because of an elevator. There was more than one elevator and he was not in a hurry to wait for the next one.

After giving up the elevator to the 3, Chu Guang went to line up in front of another elevator. He didn't expect that just as he pressed the button, the three people approached him again.

No matter how good-tempered Chu Guang was, he still felt annoyed. So he looked back at them and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Silver Hand nodded respectfully. "Dear Administrator, we want to use the elevator to go downstairs."

Silver Sword nodded excitedly and said, "That's right!"

Chu Guang was struck speechless. "..."

Not bad. These guys are learning pretty fast.

Ending the topic with repeated lines was a common speech technique that Chu Guang taught NPCs to get rid of players' harassment. Unexpectedly, there were players using the technique on him.

Chu Guang, who was holding Little Seven, felt happy, but he didn't reveal any strange expression. He grunted once and no longer spoke.

The Silvers revealed joyful smiles.

This time, the NPC didn't change the elevator. They believed that they had succeeded!

However, just when they thought this way, they suddenly lost their vision, their bodies fell limply on the ground, and their consciousness left this world while they still had their silly smiles on their faces.

Darkest who was looking from the side was startled.

My goodness.

He just pulled their plugs?

Is that really necessary?

Chu Guang looked at Darkest who was standing at the side.

The latter shivered, and quickly raised three fingers to swear, "I swear in the name of the Federation of People, I am not with them, I never thought of abusing the cutscene!"

Hehe.

Chu Guang, who was holding the paper bin, smiled inwardly, but didn't show any reaction on his face, ignoring the player's words.

It was as if what happened to the 3 people in front of him had nothing to do with him.

"They may be suffering from heat stroke, can you please carry them to the square on level B3 for me?"

Little Seven's signal light in Chu Guang's arms flickered.

The pop-up window triggered by the mission was immediately updated on the VM of Darkest.

Darkest accepted without hesitation, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice on the ground. "Please leave it to me!"

After speaking, he immediately dragged the 3 unconscious smart arses to another elevator and waited in line.

After kicking out a few players who were trying to go downstairs with him, Chu Guang, who got on the elevator again, took a deep breath to relax himself, and stretched out his index finger to touch the touch screen interface.

The authority of the administrator had taken over the control of this elevator, and no one would bother him again.

A light blue screen appeared and as the countdown reached 0, the button for level B4 finally appeared in front of him.

Chu Guang was overjoyed. He silently wished himself good luck, and pressed it without hesitation.

The elevator descended slowly and stopped after some time.

With the opening of the silver-white alloy door, dry and refreshing air blew in.

"It's still that familiar smell."
