《Shocking! Real-life pictures of the next-generation online game 'Apocalypse OL' revealed, top-notch image quality comparable to the real world! 》
After Cheng Shaofeng took a few screenshots and posted them on the official website.
'Fugui', the editor of a domestic "Game Storm Newspaper" that is on the verge of bankruptcy, published a front-page article!
This editor is an old beta player in the game named "Please Master Punish Fugui". Although he is not outstanding in the game and is just an ordinary judge player, he still has some weight in the newspaper. He caught this hot topic in time and wrote an extremely detailed game report.
Written by an internal tester and accompanied by actual game photos, this article instantly became popular on social media!
"Apocalypse OL" has finally unveiled its mysterious veil!
Although the Game News is not doing well now, it was once glorious, and its professionalism has always been favored by old readers. If this report dares to be put on the headlines, it must be based on real evidence, and it is even possible that it was a review commissioned by the manufacturer!
For a time, there was a major earthquake in the domestic game market!
Tencent, which was considering launching a new skin for the farmer, immediately held an internal meeting. After internal consultations, they found out... they couldn't copy it!
Immediately, the head of the game department said the second set of policies for Tencent Games: "Then... can we find a way to buy this game?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood.
They began to use their personal connections to find manufacturers of "Apocalypse OL" and demanded to give the other party a price they could not refuse.
Why has Tencent been able to remain the number one in the domestic gaming industry for so many years
Is it the strong development capability? Or the meticulous production team
Nonono~
If someone is popular, I will copy it. If I copy it wrong, I will buy it.
Two very useful strategies.
At the same time, other major domestic game companies also began to take action to find out the bottom of this company.
In addition... the overseas steam team was also shocked!
Put aside the winter sale, look for this mysterious oriental game, and find a way to put it online on Steam.
They kept saying things like "huge global player base", "make money together", "give you the best conditions" and so on.
Cheng Shaofeng’s backstage private messages surged!
It directly flooded his Tieba chat interface.
Fortunately, he had logged into his QQ account yesterday and returned to the QQ battlefield.
A "End of the World OL Internal Beta Player Discussion Group" was formed, and all players participating in the internal beta were invited to join.
For now, he only needs to communicate with these players. The surge in pre-registration players can be reserved in advance. He will pay attention to anything interesting he sees and release it in the next internal test.
night.
Natural disaster base.
Cheng Shaofeng slept peacefully.
Many players have gone offline during the day, after all, many of them have to go to work at night.
That is daytime in the real world.
Now that the four energy emission columns on the periphery have been erected, the defense of the base has become much more solid. At least we don't have to worry about monsters sneaking in when there are no players in the base.
As a result, the development of the base stabilized.
New players can complete various basic tasks to increase their experience points while experiencing the game world, while veteran players can explore polluted farms and Huo Town Col.
The mutants in the maple forest on the east side retreated completely after several contacts with the players and no longer clashed with the players, allowing the living players and skeletons to cut down trees and build cities with peace of mind.
And the Red City located to the north of Huozhen Base... is still mysterious.
The Retarded Team and the Special Agent Team went inside to look for electronic components and weapons, but were caught on the spot by the Coked People. After an extremely fierce group battle broke out, the players escaped after 14 deaths, and did not bring back any electronic components to the base.
Without Wu Jie's luck... it's really easy for something to go wrong.
After this battle, the danger level of Red City has been raised to the highest level in the eyes of players!
The fighting capacity of the Jiaohua people is not low, and they come out in large groups. If a group of Jiaohua people discovers an invader, all the Jiaohua people in Hongcheng will get the news and rush to support them.
This thing... belongs to a wasp.
After suffering a loss once, the players of the Retarded Team and the Special Agent Team no longer challenged the city, and focused on killing the crystal creatures in the valley and the phantoms that polluted the farms.
But... Long Yi from the special forces team would wander around the edge of Red City from time to time, seemingly looking for something.
Cheng Shaofeng had no more electronic components from Red City to take, and after thinking for a while... he did not let his friend Wu Jie take risks. After all, what he had now was barely enough. He just needed to control the players to die less often and bring back as many bodies as possible.
Let the players explore first, and never underestimate their creativity.
In this world... there is no difficulty that players cannot overcome.
As a result, the natural disaster base entered a stage of stable development.
...
Time passes.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Wasteland calendar year 400, November 4th.
The weather is cloudy.
The dark clouds in the sky indicate that there will be a heavy rain soon.
After continuous construction by 300 new players, the Scourge Base has taken shape. The wooden walls have been erected, and the players' living areas have been basically completed. They are all exquisite matchbox cabins, and there are multiple toilets separated by men's and women's areas.
In the central location of the base where Cheng Shaofeng was located, Lao Tian arranged for a two-story wooden house to be built. In the vacant space on the second floor of the wooden house, Lao Tian also thoughtfully placed a lounge chair and a parasol for the lord so that he could sleep at any time.
At present, the simple wooden house has met the basic usage needs of players.
Usually I just eat and sleep here, it’s not like I really want to live here.
Cheng Shaofeng set a 16-hour online time limit for players every day, not to hold them back, but... the players' clones are not machines and also need rest. Players can also use these 8 hours to do their own things in reality.
Don't delay either.
Phew~
A cool breeze blew by.
Cheng Shaofeng tightened his Predator leather jacket.
"Every autumn rain brings a chill, and this is also true in this wasteland. And the temperature is dropping too fast."
It was 20 degrees yesterday, but it has dropped to 0 degrees today. Cheng Shaofeng even suspected that it would rain and snow soon.
"Strange... The weather in the wasteland is a bit strange. Oh, right! It seems to be like this every year. The temperature in winter is abnormally low."
Cheng Shaofeng searched for the previous memories of this body and remembered that in previous winters, the temperature started to drop sharply after November.
By December... the temperature will remain at minus 20 degrees Celsius, which is also the most difficult time of the year for humans in the wild.
The caravans in Colossus City will also change their biweekly trading routes to once a month. If the weather is extremely bad, winter may not come again.
"We need to prepare some supplies for the winter together with the players."
During these three days, Cheng Shaofeng sorted out the supplies at the base.
The situation... is not optimistic.
The first thing to be affected is food!
He underestimated the food demand of the players... You know, players need to be well fed, so they eat a lot. The amount he bought for these 300 players was three times that of ordinary wastelanders, enough for a month's food, but it was still far from enough!
There were too many cases of players being injured. If they wanted to recover their health... they would have to keep replenishing food without taking potions, so the consumption was more than he had expected. These food could only last for 20 days at most.
The problem is not prominent now, but these 300 new players have almost all reached level 3, which is the minimum standard to go out and fight monsters. Some players have even participated in the battle a long time ago.
The demand for food will be even greater in the future, and these players may consume all the food in half a month.
Cheng Shaofeng can't let the players fight on an empty stomach, so he has to purchase more food.
Food is sold to players, but money is also given to players, so the store cannot be out of food, otherwise the currency will be useless if it cannot buy anything.
"Recently, Forgiveness Hat opened a shop selling crystal meat, which is quite useful. Players can eat this kind of meat to feel fuller and increase recovery speed. It also alleviates the food consumption of the base to a certain extent."
Most players will choose to disassemble the loot after defeating crystal creatures instead of eating the meat.
Forgive Hat did the opposite and made a fortune selling meat.
Many players need more equipment and inlays, so they will not roast and eat the crystal energy creatures. Instead, they choose to spend some iron coins to buy a piece of processed jerky from the Forgiveness Hat. It is easy to carry and can be eaten at any time in the wild to increase attributes and satisfy hunger. It is very convenient.
"In addition to purchasing large quantities of food, encouraging the Forgiveness Hat to expand the butcher shop can also allow players to solve part of the food problem themselves. Well... both methods must be used."
Cheng Shaofeng didn’t know whether the coming of winter would have a big impact on the crystal energy creatures in the valley. That place was currently the best place to spawn monsters, and the rapid development of players depended on their support.
"Based on the current number of players and their average consumption, we should be able to purchase enough food to last for three months."
"That's not right. We'll have to summon new players later... It's safer to buy more food, maybe six months' worth!"
Cheng Shaofeng did a quick calculation in his head and knew that this amount of money... was definitely not a small amount.
"We need to ask Shadow Guard to go to Colossus City and borrow some money from Lao Zhuang..."
This time, Cheng Shaofeng plans to go to Huangshi Farm to purchase food directly, which can save a lot of money.
"For heating, players can cut down more trees. And Forgiveness Hat has also discovered some mutant plants that can burn sustainably. Perhaps they can be cultivated and used as plant energy storage."
Lamp oil flower.
A strange creature that Forgiveness Hat found in the wild. It is shaped like a lotus lantern, and the seeds on it contain special oils that can continue to burn and emit heat after being ignited. The most peculiar thing about this flower is... after the flowers burn out, new flowers will grow after a while.
"Let 'She said wearing it doesn't count as giving' cultivate more of these plants, sell them to players in winter, and light two in the room when sleeping to prevent freezing to death..."
The temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius can really freeze people to death without any heating facilities.
"Oh, by the way, let Shadow Guard go to Colossus City to buy some thick clothes... The equipment dropped by the monsters are all close-fitting leather clothes, which are not enough to keep you warm."
This leather jacket that comes from the loot generator has a scalable property and can freely adapt to the body shapes of different players and increase player attributes, but it is not a reliable warm clothing and you need to put on an outer layer of clothing to keep warm.
"Winter... is not a good season."
After Cheng Shaofeng sorted out the current situation of the base, he wrote a list and asked the shadow guard to take it to Colossus City again.
"Well, the shadow guards who have been assisting players in battle these days should also change their forms."
Cheng Shaofeng added all the attribute points from level 15 to level 19 to intelligence. With the energy recovery blessing of crystal meat, the power and production of explosive ammunition have been increased.
Even if there are more than 300 players, he can still supply explosive ammunition and store a batch of it.
During these three days, Cheng Shaofeng ate crystal meat three times a day, and his body energy increased by nearly 100 points. He was still 4,000 energy points away from upgrading to a level 2 evolver. Although the progress was slow, at least it was free, which was considered satisfactory.
"Let's go to the Colossus City Chamber of Commerce and see if we can find two more crystals with unpopular properties."
If you really want to upgrade, it depends on the crystal.
Cheng Shaofeng used up all his energy to reshape a new shadow guard.
And load it with skills: Level 10 Explosive Ammunition, Level 1 Windrunner, Level 5 Blood of Dregg, Level 1 Ignore Pain.
This time, he replaced the crow with full-level explosive ammunition.
In this way... his shadow guards can continue to make powerful enchanted bullets on the road, and they can definitely save a lot of money from this round trip.
The road is long, and I have nothing to do when I am free...
Cheng Shaofeng became so ruthless that he even spared no effort to kill his own clone.
By the way, he added all the 4 skill points he upgraded to Blood of Dregg, greatly improving his survivability.
During these three days, Cheng Shaofeng asked the Shadow Guard to carry the level 5 Blood of Dregg around, helping the players to restore blood and add buffs whenever he had nothing to do. He saved a lot of people and made the players very happy.
Lin Tang even declared: "When the planners have time, we will definitely kill the Shit Mountain Code Collection Lord, and our dearest Shadow Guard Lord will take over directly!"
It drew unanimous cheers from all the players!
Cheng Shaofeng didn't care about it. He was the only one who was in charge. It was better for players to play with Shadow Guard so as not to disturb him from watching TV series on Quantum Surf.
By the way, of the three additional quantum surfing websites, the first one is bound to QQ, and the second one is bound to... the universal seed website.
Don't get me wrong!
The seed URL can be used to download various information and movies and TV series. It is much more reliable than the websites that are often involved in copyright disputes and membership recharges. He just uses it as a way to travel in the ocean of knowledge, and does not use it to watch movies like most online writers.
The new Shadow Guard not only has more advanced skills, but also inherits Cheng Shaofeng's level 19 attribute values, as well as... the equipment and inlays he got from players these days, which added a lot of attributes and are very reliable!
Let's put it this way, the true combat capability of Cheng Shaofeng Shadow Guard... is at the peak of the first level!
It can be called half a step to level 2!
An absolutely powerful evolver!
The shadow guard possessed Cheng Dafu, mounted his horse and set off to Colossus City to make money.
"Oh, right! We need to have the Shadow Guard take Zhang Bao's letter... and we also need to recruit some new Undeads for the base."
Zhang Bao, the contemporary puppet army leader.
This time when I go to the Colossus City, I might as well ask them if they have discovered the real reason for Zhang Bao and the others' disappearance.
To prevent anyone from still eyeing the natural disaster base.
At the same time, Cheng Shaofeng just walked out of the door.
The members of the Peak Team all went home.
"Eh? Isn't that our beloved Shadow Guard Lord? Why is he riding out on a horse? Without his blood supply, I can't hold on..."
"It's not a big problem. Lao Ao will soon be able to learn the Blood of Dreger, and I guarantee he can fill it up for us!"
The peak team returned to the city because... the five of them have collectively reached level 10!
Became an official first-level evolver!
