This Game Is Too Realistic

"Fuck! Worth my ass! I’ve suffered a huge loss, alright!"

Official website forum.

Neighbour Wang couldn’t help jumping out when he saw Sideline Slacking and a group of non-test players forcibly explaining that trading 1 for 1 with the enemy was worth it.

Seizing the opportunity, a certain troll took the lead to mock everyone.

This_lord_is_arrogant_what_can_you_do: Lmao! 10 people were fighting 1 NPC, but your group ended up having 1 killed and 1 injured? Do you even know how to play games? If I were you, I would smash my helmet and stop playing this game. What’s the point of playing this game if your skills are so shit? Of course, this game doesn’t exist at all. Anyway, you guys can keep talking like it’s a real game, and I’ll just take it as a joke.

Irene: Just for your information, the helmet is lent to you by the game company for free, and you don’t even need to pay the shipping fee. If you smash it, you will probably get a lawyer’s letter. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Sideline Slacking: Ahem, Neighbour Wang, I’m sorry. I admit that it was indeed my mistake. I didn’t expect that those mutant humans would actually know how to lay traps, and it was even a tripwire mine! They are so shameless! But don’t worry, I’ve learned my mistakes! Next time, we will definitely be very steady!

Neighbour Wang: Steady my ass! I would be a fool if I believe you!

Midnight Pubg: This wave was indeed not worth it. In fact, it was a huge loss. After deducting the cost of one goblin rocket, which was 5 silver coins, I only got 10 silver coins from the task’s base incoming. Killing one mutant human only rewarded us 5 silver coins, and after we split that between 10 people, we can only get 5 copper coins each.

Midnight Pubg: Actually, I just want to complain that that rocket was really useless. It didn’t kill it at all. I had to rush up and use my axe to finish it off.

Mosquito: Screw you! You were using it to fight against a mutant human, right? Why didn’t you try to use it against the Crackleclaw Crab? The official website has already mentioned that mutant human’s constitution data is above 30, the upper limit is unknown. Do you have any idea how strong the 30 points of constitution is?! Even if a player with a constitution sequence reaches LV20, they may not be able to acquire such a high attribute! Be reasonable, bro. If it wasn’t for my rocket to heavily injure the creature, do you think you would have a chance to get close to it and finish it?

Midnight Pubg: It’s still useless!

Mosquito: Fuck you! Bring me with you next time! I will show you! (angry)

Irene: Forget it, I’m a little scared. Originally, I wanted to check it when I am resurrected tomorrow... But now, I’ve changed my mind. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Night Ten: Don’t be a coward, Irena. I remember that you were super brave in the past. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Irene: Stop calling me Irena! If you call me that again, I’m going to fuck you up! (#｀皿)

7:00 PM, in the lobby of Shelter 404.

After dinner, Chu Guang sat in front of the computer, browsing the forum as usual, to see what his players were chatting about.

In order to make it easier for him to spy on them more efficiently, Chu Guang asked Little Seven to help him make a table to count the most popular topics on the forum every night from 6:00 to 7:00.

That was the time when the alpha testers were most active on the official website.

Unsurprisingly, the mutant human tribe on 76th Street occupied the top of the hot topic list, ranking first.

This was the first time the outpost had a direct confrontation with the mutant human tribe on 76th Street.

Most of the players’ impressions of mutant humans in the past were based on the pictures and text settings on the official website, as well as the wild imaginations of netizens based on the official information.

Although on the surface, it was a bit embarrassing to end up like this when they were fighting 1 NPC with 10 people, Chu Guang knew very well in his heart that it was actually not that bad for them to achieve a feat like that.

First of all, the average level of the players who participated in the battle was LV5. In the outpost, they could only be regarded as the second echelon players. Neither their level nor their combat experience were considered to be the best, so it was normal that they would suffer losses.

Then again, those green-skinned brutes were notoriously tough.

Their extraordinary recovery ability and resistance made them almost invulnerable to all poisons. Not only that, they also had a digestive system comparable to that of a mutant hyena. When they were hungry, they could even eat a Cruncher.

It was no exaggeration to say that they were even more adapted to the environment of the wasteland than mutants. At least in the early years, the mutants and the survivors were tortured by the harsh winter. Only those green-skinned brutes who came out from nowhere managed to leave their footprints all over the wasteland.

Some say they were the victims of biological weapons, others say they embraced evolution, and some say they were biological weapons themselves.

A more reliable rumor mentioned that their ancestors came from a shelter with an unknown number. Because they could not survive the desperate winter in the early days, they were forced to accept genetic modification technology that had not yet been fully developed.

In fact, aside from being a little ugly, the genes of these green-skinned brutes were still very strong. They not only had high adaptability to the wasteland environment, could live in a radiation environment for a long time and ensured the stability of genetics, but also had an iron stomach that could digest almost all food.

If they were given thousands of years to develop, it might be possible for them to replace the old humans as New Humans and become the new owners of this planet.

However, mutant humans were not without weaknesses.

Their excessively large size made them have to live in taller houses, and their utilization rate of the heritage of pre-war civilization was much lower than that of human beings. Having thick fingers and underdeveloped cerebellum made it difficult for them to use their joints as flexibly and well-coordinated as humans, and they had to make more efforts to develop precision instruments... However, due to their tribal culture, this was almost impossible; even if it was some weapons like iron-barreled rifles that marauders made on their own. For mutant humans, putting black powder in cans to make tripwire mines was almost the apex of their tech tree.

If they had guns, they definitely obtained them from other humans. Most of the time, firearms would wear out as fast as ammunition in their hands. Those who pursued primitive violence and cold weapons would be more inclined to use axes, saws, and knives to shred their opponents and hang their intestines on their armors to intimidate foes that were still alive.

For them, that was the most efficient way to kill their enemies!

Plus, despite their ridiculous resilience, their head was also their weak spot.

Even if their chests could withstand the continuous shooting of 7mm rifles and rely on their crazy resilience and toughness to quickly repair damaged muscle tissue, internal organs and bones, it would still be difficult for them to put back the jelly-like brains that had been spilled all over the place.

Therefore, many mutant humans would put a heavy helmet on their heads even if they were topless. If conditions permitted, they would also get some things such as doors, billboards, tank armor pieces and the like to hang on their chests, so as to protect their hearts and lungs that were not so easily recovered.

Chu Guang noticed that Ample Time had posted a summary post, summing up the discussions and exchanges of the players who participated in the battle that day, and comprehensively analyzing the weaknesses and strengths of the mutant human tribe to provide a relatively reliable reference for the players.

- Let’s talk about the conclusion first. This task is still very difficult for players below LV5! Based on the panel data provided by the official website, this mutant human is equivalent to a level 20 monster in other MMORPG games at least. It’s like a group of LV5 players trying to kill a level 20 monster. This level gap is too big, so it is normal to have casualties.

- However, Wasteland Online is a bit different from other MMORPG games, and the effect of attributes is not as direct as other games, but more similar to D&D rules. As long as you roll high enough points in a row, a goblin slaying a dragon is not impossible.

- I guess that the reason why the devs want to place the mutant human tribe near the outpost of the novice village should be to test whether asymmetrical combat will affect the game experience or not. After all, it is a real wasteland, and danger will not be far away from you because you are weak. If my analysis is correct, then congratulations, everyone, we are one more step closer to the open beta! We the players have proved by practical experience that level suppression is not absolute, and high-level monsters are not invincible! Even if we can’t see their health bars!

- Of course, that being said, if you don’t have any confidence in your own strength, it is best to choose whether to take this quest carefully.

- However, opportunities always come with risks. If you can take out the mutant human tribe, the rewards should be very rich.

- There are many hidden mechanisms in this game. If you are interested, I suggest you pay attention to every detail in the game!

The next day.

After lying in the culture chamber all night, Sideline Slacking’s leg injury was almost healed. He tied a self-made bandage on his thigh, then gathered a group of teammates and set off from the outpost again.

His teammates were still those from yesterday, but this time, Neighbour Wang, who was waiting to be resurrected, was replaced by Mosquito.

In order to redeem his dignity, Mosquito went all out this time. He brought a large waist-high box, and asked a strength type player to help carry it.

A group of men aggressively set out from the East Gate and rushed in the direction of 76th Street.

Although Chu Guang had appropriately increased the income of the raid mission considering the strength of mutant humans, carrying so many weapons... Would it really pay off?

Other players were also surprised.

"Is Mosquito mad?"

"Holy shit, such a big box. Does gunpowder not cost money?!"

"This is crazy!"

Night Ten glanced at the surrounding teammates. "To be honest, I kind of want to see it."

Gale and Old White ignored him, only Ample Time glanced at him and said realistically. "To be honest, let’s hurry up and clear the Greenhouse Ruins first. We don’t have much time left."
