This Game Is Too Realistic

If anyone was really curious, they could get a helmet, spend nearly a year getting the contribution points to become a Knight, use their account that was worth tens, if not hundreds of millions that was filled with countless fond memories, and try it out.

Of course, if they couldn't endure the pressure from the online forum, it was best not to spike their blood pressure unnecessarily.

Having a rough understanding of his teammates' equipment, Ample Time then asked, "What are our plans for today?"

"Scientific expedition. Our target is within the second ring. We need to help Dr Yin Fang get some research samples while testing the new equipment we just got." Old White stared at Ample Time and teased, "Speaking of which, you're so eager to do tasks... Why not spend time with your girlfriend?"

"Right, I almost forgot to ask, how far have you guys developed?" Night Ten's gossiping soul instantly ignited, his eyes sparkling when he asked the question.

Gale, although silent, also curiously looked over.

Ample Time shifted his gaze and his index finger and thumb fidgeted with the hair at his temples.

Everyone waited for a while, only to get an ambiguous and evasive response.

"... This game is too realistic."

A moment of silence followed.

Night Ten suddenly looked at Gale. "Why don't we send this guy to join Brother Spring Water Commander?"

Gale nodded subtly. "Yeah... I think that's possible."

"...?"

[ID:Chu Guang]

[Genetic sequence:Administrator (Third Stage)]

[Level:LV27→LV30]

[Attributes]

[Strength:25→33]

[Agility:20→25]

[Constitution:22→27]

[Perception:21→26]

[Intelligence:24→29]

On level B3 of Shelter 404.

Lying on the scanning bed in the medical room, Chu Guang confirmed his updated attribute panel through the tablet handed to him by Hyrja.

28 attribute points.

More than half of them were due to his genetic sequence development reaching 30%.

Compared to other players, his attribute growth was relatively balanced, though not outstanding in any one area, the total value of each stat was exceptionally high.

Moreover, following Wild Instinct, Mind Deterrence, and Hive Mind, the fourth stage of his gene sequence granted him a new talent.

[Victory Call:Vocal cords vibrate at a special frequency, infusing shouts with courage, making those who resonate with your cause feel an invincible determination.]

It was basically an aura type ability.

Under Hyrja's suggestion, Chu Guang tested it on her.

According to her evaluation, her heart rate and adrenaline rose, and other indicators also changed slightly, but the effect was not too pronounced.

Perhaps due to the wrong application scenario, perhaps the volume wasn't enough, or perhaps her bionic organ weakened the resonance between organisms...

In any case, the effect was not as obvious as Hive Mind.

After all, when Chu Guang activated his talent in the command center, he could clearly feel the officers' thought processes speeding up significantly.

He wondered when he would actually be able to fully utilize his new 'aura' like talent.

"... It seems my previous guess was correct, your genetic sequence evolves by absorbing elements from other individuals' development progress. Just like you said, you're leeching experience... Although the principle is unclear, the effect seems similar." Staring at the slowly drifting DNA sequence and the three-dimensional human body diagram on the screen, Hyrja marveled softly with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

"At this rate... It won't be long before you turn into a monster."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Having dressed, Chu Guang's gaze fell on a terminal screen not far away, his expression suddenly becoming a bit peculiar.

Although it was a three-dimensional diagram, and it was the medical room, being stared at still felt a bit strange.

Noticing Chu Guang's gaze, Hyrja slightly raised her eyebrows. "Anything else?"

"No."

"Okay, get out please, I need to continue my research." Hyrja's expression was slightly excited as she urged.

It was evident that the material she had just obtained from him had brought significant inspiration to her research project.

He hoped her project would be concluded soon.

Chu Guang was also filled with confusion about what was happening to him, especially when he thought about the dream he had the night before.

In the dream, he returned to that desolate wilderness at the beginning, but instead of heading south to Baker Street, he followed the dim lights and walked to Street 76.

That was where the Mutant's den used to be.

Green-skinned brutes sat at the door, devouring rotting chunks of meat, humming apocalyptic ballads with rough voices.

He clearly 'saw' himself, the man in the blue coat, paling as he stepped back, accidentally triggering a landmine tripwire before falling next to a wrecked car in a puff of smoke.

The dream ended there.

But slightly different from usual, there was no clear skies that night. There was no drooling two-headed dogs, but rather heavy snowfall...

After leaving the medical room, Chu Guang happened to run into Yin Fang coming out of the warehouse. Yin Fang wore a troubled face as he mumbled softly to himself, "What a waste..."

Thinking about the nightmare, Chu Guang raised his head and asked in confusion. "A waste?"

Yin Fang sighed. "Yeah, the black box that produces coffee beans."

When Chu Guang came back from the front line, he had brought back Shelter 79's black box, leaving only a box for newbies to make blue coats. There was also the massive black box that couldn't be moved from Shelter 79 that was used to produce portable reactors.

Champion injections were a good buff to players and the shelter's researchers could use them to stay alert. Miracle cookies could be used to earn money, and 'Asteroid' brand meat cans could be used as military rations.

Chu Guang had made proper arrangements for each black box's use, except for the one that produced coffee beans. It was simply given to Yin Fang for research.

When he first got the black box, Chu Guang saw the look of thrill on Yin Fang's face. It hadn't even been a day, and he was already tired of it?

Chu Guang's expression was a bit weird. "... Is there a problem with that black box?"

"No problem, the technology is magical, perfectly fascinating, and the coffee beans grown in a 1500 meter altitude environment are undoubtedly top-notch..." As he spoke, Yin Fang's expression suddenly became indignant, "But why do they dry and dehydrate it?! Couldn't they skip that last unnecessary step?"

Chu Guang was stunned. "... Is dried not okay?"

He didn't understand, nor did he drink much of that stuff.

"... Can a husked rice grain grow into rice? And those uniform beans... Even if ground into powder, can't hide the fact that they lack soul. I'd rather drink instant coffee." Muttering incomprehensible words, Yin Fang shook his head, walking towards the elevator under Chu Guang's bewildered gaze...
