Chapter 190.2: Alpha 0.9. Brand New Skill Proficiency System
Bull and Horse Club chat group.
No one was discussing the new version on the official website, everyone could only go to their respective small groups to discuss.
Mosquito: Hell yeah! My contribution point is just enough to allow me to level up, and I will directly ascend and become a first class Citizen! (Smiling)
Gale: I have 12,000 contribution points. Sure enough, it’s very useful to collect contribution points.
Tomato Eggs: Damn it, I’m still short of 2000, how did you farm it? Why are you so fast?!
Quit Smoking: That’s right! I’ve only just reached the Citizen level, and you guys are too fucking crazy! QAQ
Night Ten: Great, I can buy land again! ( ͡
The Citizen level required 2000 contribution points, which was almost five times less than becoming a Middle Class Citizen.
However, that did not mean that it was also five times more difficult to upgrade from a Citizen to a Middle Class Citizen. After all, as the level increased, the income of the mission also increased.
If a player was serious, they would be able to level up in about a month. If they were more casual, it would still only need to take about two or three months. The daily missions would guarantee them to have 120 contribution points, not to mention that after LV5, many missions would reward them with 200 to 500 contribution points. Once a player’s level went up, their contribution points would increase very quickly.For example, the group owner and the group administrators of the Bull and Horse Club had been farming at the Greenhouse Ruins recently. Their silver coins and contribution points income was basically in the four figures, and their contribution points would be slightly higher. Their single-day contribution income could be up to 600 points at the highest or around 400 points at the lowest.
Some Lifestyle Profession players’ incomes were also the same, such as Mosquito. The warehouse had long-term orders for nitrocellulose production, and this demand had been strong for a long time.
Especially after the regional prestige system was released in Alpha 0.8, and the material donation function was opened, there was another way for Lifestyle Profession players to farm contribution points.
As long as they donated strategic materials, they could not only get the regional prestige of the capital state that was their outpost, but also get some common contribution points from wherever they were!
So from this, a contribution of 10,000 points was really not a lot.
The topic then quickly turned to the new profession system and skill proficiency system.
Ample Time: I just played the game. I found out that my archery skill proficiency is actually 4.
Old White: Looks like previous proficiency has been taken into account.
Ample Time: Actually, it should be the proficiency accumulated after getting the VM. We can make a bold guess, maybe our current proficiency level is designed based on those behavioral data.
Night Ten: So the administrator has been collecting our personal information through our VMs?! ( ͡
Gale: Speaking which, Ample Time, what profession are you planning to take?
Ample Time: A Middle Class Citizen can take up three professions, in my case, I’ll probably go for hunters, soldier, and prospector.
Gale: Are you not going to be a scavenger?
Ample Time: There are not enough slots, so it can’t be helped. Being a hunter is a must. It’s the most lucrative profession in this game. Just based on the income bonus from hunting, you must leave a slot for it. And then the soldier profession, it is estimated that it’s the most buffed profession in this version. Didn’t you see that they added another enemy faction? There is definitely a chance that you will need it. In terms of the prospector profession, I don’t think there’s a need for me to explain it in detail. The ruins of the Ecological Experimental Base is estimated to be a high-yield dungeon.
Quit Smoking: Boss! What profession should a newcomer take? QAQ
Ample Time: You’re a constitution type player, right? A strength type player can be a lumberjack first to increase their strength attribute. constitution and perception type players can be scavengers. As I said, this profession makes money and contribution points the quickest. Once you become a Citizen, you can take up a hunter or soldier profession, depending on how you plan to play this version.
Night Ten: picking up garbage is always the best! I don’t care, I have to reserve a slot for scavenging. ( ͡
Garbage: Who’s calling me???
Night Ten: Huh?! You are still in the group?
Garbage: Screw you! Why would I leave this group?
Since the last battle, their fellow lizard brother had been hibernating and hadn’t been chatting in the group recently.
It was understandable why Night Ten would mistakenly think that he had left the group.
Gale: By the way, did you all check out the new map?
Ample Time: I’m planning to do it now, want to go together?
Gale: okay!
Old White: Huh? You don’t have a class later?
Gale: I don’t have classes this morning, I can play until 12:00 noon.
Night Ten: What a coincidence, I have no classes the entire day today, I can play games the whole day. ( ͡
Old White: You’d better control yourself. Don’t just play games every day. If you don’t find a girlfriend in college, you will be deceived by women easily after you step into society. ř
Night Ten: Hehe, what’s so good about having a girlfriend? I’m a bachelor for life, man. Besides, reality is shit. If you like it so much, then you can limit your time playing the game. Anyway, I’m already satisfied with Xiaoyu. ( ͡
Gale: That sentence is enough to send you to jail...
Night Ten: Speaking of which, don’t just keep talking about me. When I go to the school cafeteria, I would still occasionally encounter some girls who want my number. What about you guys? All of you are almost thirty, right? But you all play games online on time every day like you have no sexual life. Is it really appropriate for you guys to live your life like this?
Ample Time: Tsk, shall we kick this guy?
Gale: +1, and it’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that it’s really boring and not as interesting as this game.
Old White: I’ll post a poll.
- The group owner has initiated a vote: Should we kick this retard. 1. Yes, 2. Agree
Night Ten: Fuck you all! What about our friendship? Also, why the fuck are both options kicking me!
Garbage: Hahahaha, serves you right!
They had known each other for a long time, so it was natural to joke with each other; it was impossible for them to really kick Night Ten.
Old White had something to do during the day, so he didn’t go online.
Whereas Ample Time, Gale, and Night Ten had breakfast and quickly returned to the game at the pre-agreed time.
Originally, they thought there would be a lot of people lining up in front of the elevator tower on level B2, but when they came to the lobby, they found that there were not as many people as they had expected.
Taking a closer look, they were surprised to find that a safe passage had been added next to the elevator tower where there was clearly only a wall before.
It seemed that the game company was also aware of the lack of elevator capacity in the shelter.
With the opening of level B3, players who did not want to wait for the elevator could now use the stairs to move between the open floors.
It would be great if they could upgrade the elevator outside as well!
After arriving at level B3, Ample Time looked around for a moment. He stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then gave his own evaluation. "The layout here looks a lot like level B2."
Night Ten also said. "Not a lot like, it’s almost exactly the same."
Gale looked to the wall on the side, where there was a floor plan. "It’s still a little bit different. Look at the corridor between Zone A and Zone B. At the end of the corridor on level B2 is a locked warehouse. But at the same location on level B3, the space is obviously several times larger. Moreover, there are also a few more areas to explore.”
"Mhm, I’ve also noticed it just now," Ample Time nodded. "It seems like that is the key area of the new floor... Anyway, let’s go and take a look." With that said, Ample Time walked ahead and led the two of them to explore the direction of the corridor.
After passing through Zone A and Zone B, the first thing they passed by was a white room.
Judging from the operating table-like reclining chair in the center of the room, as well as the layout and decoration of the room, it appeared to be an infirmary or something similar.
When the three stood at the door, there was already a female player with short hair and another female player with a high ponytail inside.
Looking around, Sisi said in surprise. "It’s actually an infirmary, and it also feels like a medical laboratory... By the way, can’t the door be opened from the inside?"
Tail gasped, "Huh? How do you know so much? Is it because you often go to such a place?"
Sisi rolled her eyes at Tail and said, "You can say that, but I go to such a place to help people with their treatment."
Although it was a pathology department where their sense of existence was lower than other departments, and where they usually dealt with more dead people than the living, it could still be considered a job that helped people with their treatment.
"Doctor! I’m sick, can you check what’s wrong with me?” Tail yelled all of a sudden.
Sisi stretched out her hands listlessly, acting like a zombie, and said in a threatening tone, "I’m a brain surgeon, I have to cut open your brain to check what’s wrong with you."
Tail screamed suddenly, "!!
Sisi gasped in shock, "Huh? How did you send emojis in the game?"
Looking at the two people behind the glass wall, the three men were silent for a while, and unanimously decided not to disturb them.
Ample Time quickly turned away. "Let’s visit somewhere else."
Night Ten, the most toxic of the bunch, turned in the same direction as him and sighed, "I agree."
Gale didn’t speak but nodded.
The three continued to move forward and then passed by a planting area that gave off a strong sense of science fiction feeling.
There was not a single grain of soil in the entire planting area, only the planting units with the same shape as the fish tank. According to the settings on the official website, they seemed to be called planting units.
Gale glanced at the VM and was surprised to find that the name of each facility, as well as a brief introduction to the facility’s functions, had been updated on the minimap.
It seemed that the Alpha 0.9 version update was far from just the profession system, but also secretly changed some in-game settings.
Great.
They finally didn’t have to rely on their imaginations for some interesting items.
"From the map on the VM, this place seems to be a planting area... The theoretical planting area should be around 33,000 square meters."
"Is there 33,000 square meters here?"
"There are 50 shelf-like three-dimensional planting units here. I guess it means that each three-dimensional planting unit is equivalent to 666 square meters of land."
Speaking of which, there is already a Greenhouse Ruin. So is such a facility really necessary?
Or… Is there a seed bank here for seeds from pre-war crops?
Ample Time thought to himself.
Not far away, Makka Pakka was hugging the three-dimensional planting unit, murmuring something excitedly and incoherently.
There was Fisherman Quit Bullshit standing beside him as he yelled, "Fuck off! Don’t touch my farmland!"
"What do you mean farmland? This is obviously a fish tank!"
"Is this what your fish tank looks like?!”
"Kiss my ass!"
The three exchanged glances, tacitly decided not to disturb those 2 crazy fucks either, and continued to walk forward.
Further ahead was a small room with a radioactive sign on the door.
"This seems to be a power room?" Ample Time said thoughtfully while referring to the text on the VM, "According to the information on the official website, it should be the place to keep the fusion reactor…"
Night Ten looked around and muttered, "There seems to be nothing to see here, and the area open to players is very small... I thought I could see the inside of the reactor."
Ample Time explained, "No matter what, this kind of surreal technology in sci-fi games is not easy to make up. Generally, the game company will give you a bunch of models so you can imagine the rest yourself."
The reactors were not in this long, narrow room of less than 20 square meters. There was still a thick wall and a closed alloy door in front of them.
There was a small window on the alloy door, which could allow them to see the metal frame behind the wall and the half outline of the suspected controllable fusion reactor.
Gale walked over and looked inside curiously. He then reached out and gently pushed the door.
However, the door seemed to be fixed to the space and did not budge.
Maybe this part was originally an image?
Or maybe the game company hadn’t figured out how to make it up, or didn’t plan to waste time on trivial details.
Seeing that there was no response no matter how hard he tried, Gale took his hand back and said regretfully, "Such a pity."
Although he didn’t think that the game company would have some incredibly creative ideas, it was inevitable that he would be curious when it came to professional-related fields.
It would be nice to see what it looks like.
...
While players were exploring the new content of Alpha 0.9, the administrator, Chu Guang, of the entire shelter was standing in the last area on level B3. It was a warehouse that was not open to players for the time being.
There were two black boxes, one large and one small sitting quietly within.

[Product: Clone-specific Dormant Cabin, Organic/Inorganic waste.]
The small black box, the size of a normal suitcase, was similar in size to the one he had found in Shelter 117.
And the other big one was not so much a box as it was a car.
At the moment, the pale blue Administrator Menu was projected into his field of vision.
Walking to Black Box No.X, Chu Guang found an operation instruction with simple strokes inside a cover the size of a palm that even the illiterate could understand.
However…
The instruction manual did not explain what it was used for.
After reading the manual in his hand twice, a strange expression appeared on Chu Guang’s face.
Xia Yan, who came over from the side, spoke his thoughts out loud, "Nurturing cabin for clones? What is this thing for?"
