This Game Is Too Realistic

Chapter 111.1: Hummingbird Drone, Massive Auction

This little device is actually a drone?

Uh. I almost made a fool of myself.

Watching the silver metal ball flying in front of him after the two pairs of propellers popped out above its head, Chu Guang poked it with interest.

It can even stabilise itself in the air?

"This is interesting."

If its propellers were changed to wings, its body was painted gold, and its size was made a little smaller, it would look like the golden snitch in Harry Potter.

The light blue label attached to this thing by the system read the words “Hummingbird Drone” and was accompanied by a long list of instructions for use.

Simply put, it could be connected to any electronic device with imaging technology and information transmission functions. All it needed was a thumbnail-sized connector.

The connector on the VM just happened to be able to fit into its jack.

Can this actually function as a weapon?

Chu Guang looked back at Little Seven. "Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

Little Seven said pitifully. "Hmm… You didn’t ask me, Master."

Emmm...

Seems so.

Chu Guang didn’t reprimand it, and after playing with the toy for a while, he continued to ask, "What’s the use of this thing? Can it shoot bullets or lasers?"

Could it be a self-destruction bomb?

If it was really a one-time consumable, it would be really wasteful.

Little Seven muttered weakly, "Its function is mainly for reconnaissance... It’s already not easy for such a small device to be equipped with a long-life battery and a motor, so certainly, it can’t carry combat parts."

"Reconnaissance?" Chu Guang stood next to the drone and observed it for a while, "Why didn’t I see a camera?"

Little Seven continued to explain. "Its cameras have been integrated with its material, so they are invisible to the naked eye. But don’t worry about performance. Although its cameras are small, they’re very powerful! With a cluster of sixty cameras distributed on the surface of the device, it can capture 360-degree high-definition images without any blindspot. It can even be used at night.."

Does it mean that although I can’t see its cameras, its whole body is full of cameras smaller than pinholes?

Speaking of which, since there are cameras, doesn’t that mean I can take pictures with this thing?

Although Little Seven can also take pictures, it can only stand on top of the nursing home and take pictures of the players playing nearby because of its limited activity range.

With this thing, I should be able to take a lot of interesting photos. And with a little filter, I can even make a proper cinematic game trailer.

Chu Guang stroked his chin and continued to ask. "What about its flight altitude? Maximum distance, battery life, and… How do I charge it?"

Little Seven answered quickly. "It’s very easy to charge it. The drone has a built-in wireless charging interface. Like me, it can be automatically charged in the shelter, and my power can also be distributed to it."

"As for its flight altitude, it is recommended to be at a low altitude below one hundred meters. Although it is not impossible to fly to an altitude of hundreds of meters above the ground in theory, it is recommended not to stay at a high altitude for too long. Working in a high altitude environment for a long time will not only cause load on the engine, but also bring safety hazards.”

"As for its maximum distance, if there are not many obstacles, it works well within three kilometers. However, it is also not recommended to fly it too far from the terminal. After all, this is a close-range reconnaissance drone; its advantages are its nearly twelve hours long battery life, and its ability to cross obstacles in complex environments… Remote detection is still a bit difficult."

When encountering many obstacles, the signal transmission of the drone would be affected.

However, the control chip of the Hummingbird Drone had an integrated automatic return program. Once the connection was lost, its AI would be automatically activated, controlling the UAV to return to the starting coordinates or the preset rendezvous point according to the video images in the cached data and the estimated route.

After learning about the functions of this little device, Chu Guang reached out and picked up the drone. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

If this drone is deployed before fighting the enemy, it is almost equivalent to having a real eye above the enemy’s head.

And through the video images received by the VM, I’ll be able to capture every move of the enemy.

This is simply awesome!

"Master..."

"What’s wrong?" Hearing Little Seven’s voice, Chu Guang glanced at it curiously, "Is there any other function that hasn’t been introduced?"

"Can… Can you give it to Little Seven?" Little Seven suggested timidly, "Your VM can be directly connected to the main shelter server, and all the pictures I see can be directly transmitted to you. You can give it to me, then I can see farther places and help you monitor players’ activities more conveniently."

"That’s a good idea." Chu Guang’s eyes lit up.

This thing would provide a great advantage for him in battle, but there were not many chances for him to go to the front line. In addition, now his defensive ability was greatly increased, it wouldn’t affect him much if he didn’t use it in battle.

So he might as well use it to secretly monitor players’ activities.

No, it should be called strategic reconnaissance!

Little Seven continued, "Master, when I was helping you sort out the information yesterday, I noticed that the guard’s diary seemed to mention a signal tower? If the power supply of that signal tower can be restored, maybe the signal coverage of Shelter 404 can be further expanded."

Chu Guang put the drone on Little Seven’s head and continued with interest. "You mean... the signal tower used by the guard to communicate with the survivors on the surface? I have considered it before, but according to the clues returned by the players exploring the map, they couldn’t locate it."

Little Seven continued. "The function of the signal tower should not only be to communicate with the surface. According to the clues in the recording, it seems that this shelter had collected radio signals on the ground as analysis samples for several years after the war."

"According to my speculation, This tower should have a complete signal transmission and reception function. Maybe we can use it to provide information services to players’ VM devices. In this way, even in areas far away from the shelter, you can still issue missions to your players."

Chu Guang said with a smile. "The idea is a good one, but the question is where are we going to find this tower? Do you have a map?"

Little Seven said immediately, "Although there is no map, it is obvious that this signal tower is near us. If the nearby two-kilometer area has been explored by players-"

Hearing this, Chu Guang suddenly reacted. "76th Street?"

Little Seven said happily. "Mhm! Master is really smart!"

Indeed.

After eliminating all the wrong options, only the correct answer would be left.

The Wetland Park was surrounded by lakes to the west and northwest; wasteland, abandoned buildings, and abandoned park facilities to the south; Baker Street to the south, and the fifth-ring road to the south of Baker Street.

As for the area to the north all the way to the abandoned tire factory, the Shelter players had already searched every inch of that piece of land, and the only area that had not been explored was 76th Street directly opposite the east gate of the outpost.

Speaking of which, the greenhouse ruins seemed to be at the entrance to 76th Street.

The range of activities of the players was getting closer and closer to the realm of mutant humans.

Chu Guang, who was looking at the map, was lost in thought.

"Tsk. I have to think of a way to wipe out those green-skinned guys in one fell swoop."

...

The next morning.

The snow had stopped falling for some time, and it seemed that today would be a rare sunny day.

At the entrance of the weapons store, there was a large and noisy crowd.

Players who came late stood on tiptoe, looking across the crowd. They grabbed the players next to them, and inquired about what was going on.

"What happened? Why are so many people crowded here?"

"It’s a weapon auction!"

"Auction?! When did we have a war campaign again? Why didn’t I know?"

"It’s not a war campaign, it’s just an ordinary auction. I also don’t know what’s going on, but it seems to be a temporary event in the game. Haven’t you checked the official website?"

"No. I put the helmet on my head as soon as I got home. I didn’t even take off my clothes."

"Damn, you didn’t even take a bath?"

"I can do it in the morning when I get up. This game is more important."

"You are crazy."

Chu Guang glanced at the noisy crowd around him. Seeing that most players were here, he cleared his throat, raised the bow in his hand, and said in a solemn and serious tone. "...this is a mechanical compound bow from the deepest part of the shelter. Legend has it that… mhm, the legends has nothing to say about it."

"But it doesn’t matter!"

"This bow is brand new, so much so that you can see its bowstring reflecting the light. It has an adjustable focus sight, and once the battery is installed, it can also use an electric drive to store energy in the pulley group, which can help you deliver a fatal blow! It’s the undisputed newest item, made for hunting. The legend about it is waiting for you to write!"

"The starting price is one hundred silver coins! Each increase must not be less than one silver coin!"

"There’s no upper limit!"

No upper limit!

Nice! Things were finally getting exciting.

The moment Chu Guang’s voice fell, the atmosphere at the scene instantly exploded with excitement.

"101 silver coins!"

"102 silver coins!"

"What the fuck! What’s wrong with you guys! 110 silver coins!"

"Let me join you guys, 120 silver coins. No matter how I look at this bow, it is better than a gun. If I use a three-edged arrowhead, maybe I can shoot through the target—"

"130 silver coins! You talk too much!"

"180!" The shout of one player was so high-pitched that it cracked.

The scene was silent for a moment.

Everyone looked at the person who made the bid. They originally thought it was Mosquito who never went to the front line, but it turned out to be the only man who was personally banned by the Developer in the official forum, Escaping Mole.

Does he even know how to use a bow?

Feeling a little embarrassed being stared at by everyone, Mole argued with a red face. "I’m an agility type, is there a problem?!"
