Chapter 306 Cyber Bear Grylls: Follow Lao Ju and Go Hungry for Nine Meals in Three Days (Please Subscribe)
Island, beach.
Wave after wave rushed to the beach.
Under the sunlight, it broke into sea-blue waves.
Wang Laoju felt his face was a little wet, and he struggled to open his eyes. Just then, a broken wave hit his shoulder, and he felt a cool breeze.
He sat up and looked at himself up and down, and found that he had been washed by the waves and was wet all over, as if he was just an ordinary person who fell into the water, but the brown spiritual crystal inlaid on his left forearm showed that all this was not simple.
In fact, in the game Ark: Survival Evolved, humans are in a future world with highly developed genetic technology.
In the future, people can create and transform organisms at will, and humans have even resurrected and domesticated ancient dinosaurs.
One day, a meteorite fell from the sky, bringing a magical energy element, which added icing on the cake to human technology. With the development of Tektronix technology, energy elements have been widely used all over the world.
After several years of research, humans have found that high-purity energy elements are very dangerous. They can corrode organisms and even slowly have a kind of "collective consciousness".
Humans built obelisks to resist this corrosion, but they ultimately failed, and most of the creatures on Earth were corrupted.
At the last moment, humans launched giant ecological space stations with obelisks as the core into Earth orbit. These space stations are called ARK, or Ark.
After waking up on the shore, a group of men and women found themselves on a mysterious island full of dinosaurs - Ark.
This is the world view and background story of Ark: Survival Evolved, and why players wake up on the beach.
Players can even get a preliminary understanding of why this game is called Ark: Survival Evolved from this background story.
In the game Ark: Survival Evolved, in addition to hunting, resource scavenging, item crafting, planting, scientific research, investigation technology and building houses to resist hot days, cold nights, changeable weather systems, dangerous wilderness and potential enemies, etc.
Players must also face survivors played by other players, cooperate or fight each other, and in many cases, the latter is far more dangerous than the former.
At this moment, Wang Laoju, who had just entered the world of Ark: Survival Evolved, did not know all this. He sat on the beach and called up his personal panel.
In the personal panel, the equipment bar, character bar, item bar, and manufacturing interface were displayed one by one in front of Wang Laoju.
He focused his attention on the character panel and carefully checked the data.
[Life: 95.7/100]
[Stamina: 100/100]
[Oxygen: 100/100]
[Food: 93.8/100]
[Water: 93.2/100]
[……]
As expected, even though Ark: Survival Evolved is very special and incorporates dinosaur elements, the characteristics of survival and construction games have not changed.
This type of game basically follows the first level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, that is, physiological needs in the early stage.
Physiological needs refer to the most basic requirements for humans to maintain their own survival, including hunger, thirst, clothing, shelter, sex, and health.
Physiological needs are the most powerful driving force for people to act. This is an urgent problem that players need to solve in the early stage of survival and construction, and it is also the biggest crisis at hand.
Because once the problem is not solved well, the corresponding character attribute setting column will have a corresponding display, such as water and food attributes drop to a certain level.
The character played by the player will face a threat to survival or even life.
For most survival and construction games, the physiological needs of Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory cannot be avoided. Wang Laoju can naturally draw inferences and understand what he needs to do in the current situation.
"There is a production page..."
Wang Laoju shifted his gaze and said to himself: "A stone pickaxe is a weapon? It requires stone, wood, and thatch."
"The current environment is unclear. In the previous promotional video, the player also woke up near the island beach, but there were dinosaurs wandering around. This shows that... this island is not safe, and weapons should be made as soon as possible for self-defense."
Wang Laoju stood up, looked around, and found a stone on the ground. He tried to pick it up. The storage space showed that there was one more stone, and the number of stones on the production page also showed an increase of one.
"Is that so."
Wang Laoju strode into the woods and began to pick up stones, pull out thatch, and pull trees with his bare hands.
During this process, Wang Laoju had a sense of déjà vu. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "This opening is somewhat similar to the Fantasy Beast Palu, and the gameplay is also similar."
"Hehe, I remember that Lao Zei said that Taipingdao will make a five-year plan to compete with these game companies. The games are all the original game elements of Fantasy Beast Palu. I thought it was fake, but I didn't expect it to be true."
After this, the fans in the live broadcast room felt that the two games were similar, and they couldn't help but admire Lao Zei more.
"To be honest, if other game manufacturers did this, I would think that he was not making progress and was resting on his laurels, but Lao Zei did this, and it felt like you guys get out of the way and watch me show off my skills with a game element repeatedly."
"Eh? The guy above, don't say it, don't say it! It really means that!"
"Hahahaha, I haven't gotten into Ark Survival Evolved yet, but if you want to talk about the Phantom Beast Palu, then I am at the level of a master. Now, rounding up, I can be considered Master Yun of Ark Survival Evolved."
"I am a die-hard fan of the fantasy beast Palu. Now that you have said it, I am more interested in Ark. Survival Evolved. I must give it a try."
"How about you imagine the various dinosaur attempts as various paloos? Does it make it more understandable?"
"Hehehe, you're upstairs, you're such a genius."
While friends were chatting in the live broadcast room, Wang Laoju had collected enough resources and called out the manufacturing panel.
【Stone Pickaxe】
[Materials required: stone x1, wood x1, thatch x10]
Insert the materials and the stone pickaxe is completed in the blink of an eye.
[Weapon name: Stone Pickaxe]
【Attributes--】
[Maximum durability value: 40.0]
[Weapon attack: 100.0%]
[Introduction: The stone pickaxe can dig flint from rocks, knock out thatch from trees, and dig out meat from animal carcasses]
Looking at the stone pickaxe in her hand, Wang Laoju nodded with satisfaction.
Now he finally has a weapon to defend himself. The most important thing is that the stone pickaxe is a multi-purpose tool. Now the difficulty of survival can be regarded as reduced.
The act of collecting resources can gain experience points. In the process of collecting and making stone pickaxes just now, Wang Laoju's experience points gained have already improved his personal level.
Wang Laoju called up her personal panel, thought for a moment, and added attribute points to the load. She glanced around and saw a total of eight skill points.
Entering the skills page, I found that it was similar to the skill page of the Phantom Beast Palu. Points were used to unlock weapons, armors and other weapon formulas.
It's just that the Phantom Beast Palu is called technology points, and Ark. Survival and Evolved is called skill points. Although the names are different, they are all different ways to achieve the same goal.
The familiar feeling makes it easier for Wang Laoju to get started.
[Stone ax: The stone ax can cut wood from trees, dig out stones from rocks, and dig out leather from animal carcasses]
[Spear: A simple melee weapon. It can be thrown as a long-range weapon when necessary. It has a chance of being damaged when used. 】
[Pants: Can maintain body temperature, but have very low defense. 】
Wang Laoju's eyes lit up: "I definitely need a basic tool like a stone ax with unique functions."
"Even if there are tool weapons such as stone axes and stone picks, specialized weapons such as spears are also needed, not to mention armor such as cloth trousers. It is better than nothing."
Because she didn't have many skill points, and considering the need to reserve some variables for later stages, Wang Laoju tried her best to unlock these three recipes first, and then continued to explore in the forest.
In the dense forest, Wang Laoju looked around and saw huge rocks, tall trees, and lush thatch. He scratched his head and laughed: "Brothers, islands, wilderness, survival, do you feel that there is a kind of wilderness here?" A sense of survival?”
Wang Laoju coughed and imitated Mr. Bei's tone at the top of her voice and said:
"I'm Bear Grylls, and I want to show you how to survive in some of the most dangerous places in the world. This time I came to Ark Survival Evolved to go head-to-head with the world's most dangerous environment, the Age of Dinosaurs. !”
Player: "???"
Water friend: "???"
good! well!
Is that how you play?
You kid knows how to survive in the wilderness!
"Hahahahahaha, don't say it, don't say it, you don't even have pants, you only have shorts that are forced to be bound by the system, it really feels like surviving in the wilderness!"
"Survival in the wilderness? Could Ning be the legendary Cyber Beiye?"
"God damn Cyberboy, hahahaha——"
"Master Cyberbei? I think Lao Ju looks more like Master De, the one who followed Master De and starved for nine meals in three days!"
Wang Laoju was originally very satisfied with the water friends who gave her the title of Cyber Bei Ye, but who would have thought that some water friends would think that she was Cyber Bei Ye?
How can that work?
I'm a technical anchor!
If you follow me, you will still be hungry for nine meals in three days?
"It seems that it's time for you to see what real technology is."
Wang Laoju raised the stone pickaxe and walked towards the depths of the forest.
He wants to speed up the collection of resources. He wants to build his dinosaur empire from scratch on this island.
[Stone +1]
【Fiber +2】
[Wild Fruit +3]
[Wood +1]
【……】
With the stone pickaxe, Wang Laoju can collect resources much faster. The resource collection is then converted into armor, weapons, and tools through the manufacturing system, thus entering a virtuous cycle.
The old saying is indeed true, technology is the primary productive force.
The stone pickaxe has such an obvious improvement. When a certain number of skill points are obtained in the later stage and higher technologies are unlocked, we can't even imagine the efficiency.
Wang Laoju was happily in the forest, collecting various resources. Not long after, stone axes and cloth trousers were also made. Equipped with cloth trousers, Wang Laoju was out of the stage of being poor and could only run around naked.
In survival and construction games, early upgrades will be very fast and many functions will be unlocked, which makes players feel rewarded all the time. Even if there is a slight repetitive labor process, players will be immersed in it and find it difficult to extricate themselves.
After waking up on the beach and working in the forest for most of the day, collecting all the resources, Wang Laoju sat on a stone and called up her personal panel.
At present, his personal level has been upgraded to level five. After allocating the attribute points, he took a look at the many technology points and turned to the technology panel.
[Buyi: Can maintain body temperature, but has very low defense. 】
[Cloth hat: It can maintain body temperature, but its defense power is very low. 】
[Cloth gloves: Can maintain body temperature, but have very low defense. 】
There are currently enough crafting materials, and even though the cloth-series armor's defense is low, it's still better than nothing.
In the early stage, as long as there is equipment that can immediately improve one's combat effectiveness, and the required production materials are not scarce, Wang Laoju has no reason not to make it.
The four-piece suit of cloth clothes, cloth trousers, cloth hat, and cloth gloves were all made. When wearing them, Wang Laoju could be regarded as exchanging a shotgun for a cannon.
This is a small step for Cyberpunk, but a giant leap for survival in the wilderness.
"If there are still some technology points left..."
Wang Laoju glanced at the technology panel interface while thinking, carefully looking at the unlocked formulas in front of her, and finally her eyes lit up.
[Water bag: It can hold some drinking water, but it will leak slowly...]
[Storage box: A small box that can store items. 】
[Wooden foundation: The foundation that must be used for construction. This is made of stable wood. 】
"Foundation, it seems that when a tall building rises from the ground, the first choice for survival construction is the foundation!"
Wang Laoju muttered the jingle she composed and explained to the friends in the water:
"The water bag can ensure our drinking water, even if it leaks slowly, but there is no alternative in the early stage. The storage box is to store resources in the base later. Otherwise, the backpack will carry too much weight and the movement speed will be greatly reduced, which will greatly delay the efficiency."
"As for the wooden foundation, it is not only needed, but also requires a lot of quantity. In the early stage, a 6x6 base will be built."
Based on this calculation, resources are completely insufficient.
Wang Laoju picked up the stone ax again and entered the forest to cut wood.
It wasn't until night enveloped the world that he found an open space along the beach with his full harvest, made a wooden foundation, built a base, built a storage box, and emptied his backpack.
In the dark night, with the cold wind blowing by the beach, Wang Laoju opened the technology panel again.
[Campfire: Great for barbecue, warmth and lighting. 】
Consume materials to make a campfire, place it at the base for lighting, and the surrounding area will immediately become brighter.
It's a pity that on the first day of entering Ark Survival Evolved, I was busy collecting resources and did not hunt. My backpack only had wild fruits and no meat, so I couldn't barbecue.
Wang Laoju squatted by the campfire to keep warm and said with emotion: "The pace of Ark: Survival Evolved itself is fast, but compared with the fantasy beast Palu, the pace is still a bit slow."
"If I were in the Paros Islands, I would have captured a team of pets to help with the work at this time. How could I be blowing the cold wind and eating wild fruits on the beach of the island?"
In the live broadcast room, netizens immediately started cheering after hearing this and posted a barrage——
"Cyber Beiye: I don't have a disciple as bad as you!"
"Hey? Isn't this Wang Laoju? It's been a few days since you stretched your hips like this?"
"Lao Ju, to be honest, I feel like you don't look like Cyberpunk now, but more like Cyber Robinson from Robinson Crusoe. How about naming the first dinosaur you tame Sunday?"
"Eating wild fruits, blowing in the cold wind, and living in such a miserable state, you still say that you are not Lord Sebald?"
