Chapter 184.1: First Awakener
The black box was borrowed by Yin Fang for research.
Considering that the space on level B2 was too small, Chu Guang found a slightly spacious single room on level B1 and lent it to Yi Fang as his laboratory and surgery room.
However, Chu Guang soon discovered that the guy didn’t just stuff his personal belongings in, he even carried his bed and quilt into it.
From his actions, it seemed like he planned to live in his lab.
For such a situation, Chu Guang, the administrator, reflected on himself for a few seconds.
It could be seen that his players had caused a lot of trouble for Dr Yin.
But even so, Chu Guang still felt that Yin Fang’s actions were superfluous.
After all, as long as he still needed to go to Zone A on the second basement floor to eat, it was almost inevitable to meet players who were interested in him.
"What’s the point?"
If he avoided those energetic players too much, he would only make himself a bigger target. Chu Guang was too experienced when it came to things like this.I hope Dr Yin can adapt to the new life as soon as possible.
With a silent blessing in his heart, Chu Guang noticed that it was getting late, so he got up and went to the market at the north gate of the outpost.
As the newcomers of Alpha 0.8 gradually mastered the gameplay, many interesting stalls had been opened in the market recently.
For example, one was selling ramen, and another was selling fried rice.
The former was run by a player who used his real name as an ID. It was said that the meat he cut was thinner than paper, and his noodles were as thin as data cables, which was made it pretty authentic.
The latter was not a newcomer. It was said to be the apprentice of Tomato Eggs. His ID was Potato Shreds, and it was also a name that sounded quite delicious.
However, due to the lack of supplies at the outpost, there were no eggs or chilli crisps. Even though this dude tried as hard as he could, Chu Guang always felt that it didn’t taste quite right, after he tried it once, he didn’t try it again.
Seeing Chu Guang sitting down in front of his booth, Zhang Hai almost cut his finger in surprise. "Administrator, what can I get for you?"
NPC!
And it’s the administrator!
I’m going to trigger a hidden mission?!
Chu Guang was used to the fuss of newcomers and didn’t take it to heart.
He found a wooden table and sat down.
"A bowl of meaty soup noodles," he said.
"Coming right up!"
After a while, the ramen was brought to the table.
In the rising white mist, the fragrance of the noodles mixed with the aroma of meat, making people feel very hungry. Especially the meat in the bowl, it almost covered the noodles. 𝐑
It doesn’t seem to be the same as the rumor says?
Just as Chu Guang was about to take a bite, he heard shouting from the side.
"What the hell! Are you trying to scam me? Why is the meat in my order so little?"
"That’s right! It’s too little!"
"I really think this bastard gave all our meat to the administrator!"
The customers complained loudly, but Zhang Hai didn’t panic at all. "You got any problems with it? Are you also an NPC? Can you give me a hidden mission? Can you let me level up to catch up with the players who joined from the very start?"
“Son of a…”
"..."
In order to prevent the players from transferring the conflict to himself, Chu Guang decided to pretend not to hear and concentrate on eating his noodles.
As it was coming to the end of the month, the weather was getting colder by the day.
However, the market at the north gate was only getting busier.
Everything was slowly getting better.
The only fly in the ointment was that Yaya’s mushroom stall seemed to be closed. Chu Guang had not seen her open her stall for several days in a row.
What a shame.
Chu Guang really liked the mushroom soup she cooked.
Hope this damn winter will end soon!
...
After the dinner, Chu Guang went back to the shelter. He first washed his face, and then exchanged the 200 reward points for completing the side mission into 2 advanced loot boxes.
Perhaps because luck was finally on his side, the reward from the loot boxes unexpectedly did not disappoint him this time.
In addition to an EMP grenade, he actually got a set of Type 5 Light Cavalry light police exoskeleton!
"Muhahaha! Fortune has finally smiled on me!" Looking at the equipment lying on the conveyor belt, Chu Guang roared with laughter.
To be honest, he was a little pessimistic before opening them.
After all, he had just gotten the second Hummingbird drone not long ago. From a luck point of view, it was only reasonable that he would not be able to get anything good in the next few rounds.
However, this system did not play cards according to the standard routine, and threw a super rare drop to him.
Chu Guang felt that it must be because he had always been one to do good deeds.
Anyhow, his luck was off the charts!
The exoskeleton was recovered from the conveyor belt, and Chu Guang originally planned to take it to Xia Yan’s Weapon Shop and sell it.
However, after thinking for a few seconds, he dismissed the idea.
The reason was simple.
So far, none of the nine Miner I exoskeletons has been sold, except for one that was given away as a lottery prize.
Not only because of the purchase threshold he set where one had to be LV10 and had the contribution level of a Citizen of Shelter 404, but also because it was just too damn expensive!
2000 silver coins.
There were very few players on the server who could take out that much money.
As the police equipment of the pre-war society, the Type 5 Light Cavalry exoskeleton was obviously superior to the Miner Type I designed by Enterprise in all aspects, not to mention that it also came with composite bulletproof armor. So its price shouldn’t be lower, right?
If this kind of pre-war equipment was taken to Enterprise on the east coast, it could at least be exchanged for 5 sets of Miner Type I!
"How many silver coins should it be priced at can be negotiated. This Miner Type I is LV10 equipment, and treasures like the Type 5... It’s reasonable to have a level requirement up to LV15 or LV20."
"The inferior equipment has not been sold yet, so it is meaningless to release the more advanced equipment on the shelves. Otherwise, it would only be used to collect dust.”
Since that was the case, it was better to give it to the guards who needed to patrol the stronghold.
On the premise of not destroying the balance of Wasteland Online, this was the best way to dispose of equipment to give full play to its value that Chu Guang could think of.
Seeing that he still had bonus points in the single digits left, Chu Guang threw them all on the basic loot boxes.
However, the previous draws seemed to have used up all his good luck, this time, nothing good came out of the loot boxes, and all that came out were lollipops.
They were those which didn’t increase any attributes.
However, Chu Guang didn’t mind it.
One cannot be too greedy.
The set of an exoskeleton is already amazing!
After drawing the loot boxes, it just happened to be the peak time for players going offline. Chu Guang planned to go to the forum to lurk for some time, but just as he sat down in front of the computer, a light blue pop-up window appeared in front of him.
[System: The development progress of the player Old White’s genetic sequence has reached 10%]
Huh?
"There are players who are already LV10?"
Chu Guang was surprised. He opened the player list immediately, and saw Old White’s number at a glance.
"Little Seven, help me retrieve the player’s attribute panel!"
The speaker on the wall responded immediately.
"Yes, master!"
Soon, a table appeared on the computer screen on the desk.
