Chapter 51

The first day of alpha 0.3.

The test results of the new version are quite satisfactory.

Under the division of labor and cooperation of the players, first of all, the wall around the outpost is finally completely completed.

The three meter high concrete fortification not only brings a sense of security, but also creates the possibility for players to play at night.

Before one to six o'clock in the evening, Chu Guang would take the players back to the shelter to prevent these guys from being taken away by the alien who went out looking for food.

Now, with the protection of the fence, it is also possible for players to stay on the surface until the characters in the game start to get sleepy (exhaustion) as long as they are willing.

Of course, for the sake of safety, Chuguang still forbids players to use the facilities with open fire at night.

It's OK to make steel and burn cement during the day. The woods block a lot of smoke and dust, and the fire light during the day is not so obvious. But in the evening, I can't say.

The mutant tribe on 76th street is like a thorn stuck in the throat of the outpost. Chu Guang couldn't rest until he pulled out the thorn.

In addition to the wall, the weapon store and bathhouse were also completed one after another with the efforts of the players. Although not very luxurious, it can be used.

Especially the bathhouse with partition, Chu Guang was so satisfied.

Before, both he and players had to go to the lake to wash. Now with a bathhouse, they can solve the health problem directly in the base.

Of course, the wooden water tank on the top of the bathhouse can only store 5 cubic meters of water. If it is used for a long time, it will inevitably be cut off.

At this time, someone needs to manually transport the water from the lake to the water tank, and the people inside can continue to wash. The trouble is really a little troublesome.

Therefore, the wise and great manager is considering turning the bathhouse from a public welfare facility into a charging facility, charging 5 copper coins for each square meter of water. At the same time, an additional hydraulic worker is set up to fill the water tank at the top of the bathhouse.

That makes sense.

On the other hand, in addition to engineering, the performance of players in production, collection, hunting and production also surprised Chu Guang.

The emergence of money has greatly stimulated the production (game) enthusiasm of players.

Just listening to the tinkling and banging in the money bag can dispel the fatigue and fatigue of their limbs and make them struggle in their posts with high morale.

The best performance is still the niuma team.

The four old leeks are worthy of high play. The quadrilateral combat method integrates investigation, front row, output and support. It has made remarkable achievements in the first cooperation.

By the end of the evening, they had hunted and killed eight mutant hyenas and a mutant reindeer.

The proceeds from the sale of prey are equivalent to 55 silver coins - of which 43 are mutant hyenas and 12 are mutant reindeer.

Although the meat taking rate of mutant hyenas and mutant reindeer is not high, it is usually only in the early 40% and no more than 50%.

But even so, the scrambled egg brother who served as a temporary butcher still got more than 100 kilograms of hyena meat and more than 100 kilograms of deer meat from these prey.

The meat will be made into bacon and stored in the warehouse. Before being made into bacon, players can also spend money to buy fresh raw meat for their own dinner.

It is worth mentioning that the outposts used to eat big pot rice. The fried egg brother who served as the cook arranged two meals a day every day.

What players can eat depends on the chef's mood and what prey the manager just brought back that day.

And now it's completely different.

The granary of the base will be open to all players, and the price is fair and affordable. Children and old people are not deceived. One silver coin can be exchanged for 1kg green wheat, 300g raw meat, or 200g smoked jerky.

What is the concept of a silver coin?

According to the rules designed by Chu Guang, there are 10 silver coins converted into copper coins, which is probably the median income of players per hour.

In other words, most players can buy food to fill their stomachs as long as they work hard for 1 ~ 2 hours or patiently do some tasks.

Players can decide whether to put the bought food directly into their mouths, or add condiments to cook green wheat porridge or wheat cakes, or share a table with others or even trade.

Chu Guang once calculated an account when designing this simple economic system.

A mutant hyena in its early 30kg can remove almost 12kg of meat by shaving off its inedible viscera and head.

Buy prey from hunters according to the basic price of 5 silver coins. Pay the average cost of 2 silver coins to hire butchers to kill and take meat and skin. The total cost is only 7 silver coins with zero cost.

If you take down 12 kilograms of meat, according to the price of 1 silver coin for 300g of raw meat, 12 kilograms is 40 silver!

The output value of 40 silver coins, the production cost and circulation cost of 7 silver coins can be ignored. Therefore, in this simple economic chain, the residual value of 33 silver coins will be generated.

This number has no meaning for players. After all, they are playing games, but it is too meaningful for Chu Guang as a manager.

As long as this economic chain of "from prey to raw meat" can operate, each operation can provide "raw meat worth 33 silver coins" and "fur worth several silver coins" for the granary of the outpost.

Of course, players can't consume all the raw meat. Even if they take out all the money in their pockets, they can't buy all the things they produce. It's not appropriate to eat too much.

Therefore, in addition to a small part of the meat being purchased by the players with the silver coins issued by him, more raw meat will be left as "raw materials" to flow into the new economic chain and stored in the granary in the form of air dried meat as a food reserve for shelter.

In addition to the industry of "from prey to dried meat", cutting trees, picking up garbage, burning cement, moving bricks, collecting and fishing are basically similar economic models.

Through the two levers of price and task reward, you can easily adjust the inventory of various materials and the focus of players' work at the current stage.

For example, now that the wall has been built, the base's demand for plastering and moving bricks has decreased. Instead, it needs more food and weapons to feed and arm more players.

Therefore, Chu Guang will appropriately lower the price of weapons in the carpentry cabin, stimulate players to order weapons and upgrade equipment, increase the purchase price of prey, and urge powerful players to hunt with the purchased weapons to improve their proficiency.

In this way, players have money, equipment, and accumulated combat experience. Chu Guang not only got a lot of food reserves, but also got a group of soldiers with abundant martial virtue.

It's a win-win situation!

No, it should be three wins!

Because Chu Guang, as a manager, can win twice!

Those coins were like catalysts, which clearly did not create any value, but revitalized the economy of the whole outpost.

Chu Guang thought he was a genius.

The only small problem is that no one cooks today.

Fried egg brother hasn't saved enough money and the restaurant hasn't opened yet.

In order to save money, almost everyone went to the warehouse to buy a kilogram of croissants with a silver coin. Several teammates rented a big pot to start a fire. When they cooked it, they ate it in their arms, and then rented it to the next person.

It doesn't matter if it's not cooked. It can be eaten raw. It's just a matter of hygiene and taste.

It seems that for a moment, people with goals suddenly don't pay attention to whether the food is good or not, and carry forward the style of hard struggle to the extreme. The only requirement is that they can eat enough!

Only crows are different.

Others are eating potatoes happily, but she can't even afford potatoes.

Because the manager forgot to give her a minimum living allowance, and she didn't find her teammates too late on the line, she was sitting in the corner with a sad face, eating sour berries and mushrooms.

Finally, Tengteng couldn't see it anymore. She went over and divided half a bowl of mutton horn potato paste.

Looking at the ravens, Tengteng couldn't bear to ridicule her and sighed.

"You have to do a good job and make money from tomorrow. I can't keep you."

The crow hugged the vine.

"Rattan, are you an angel!"

Looking at the crow with tears in her eyes, the deformed rattan sighed, and her red face came out from under her arm.

"... what are you talking about?"

It's getting dark.

Chu Guang walking in the base is patrolling his territory and the players.

Although most players want to stay a little longer, it will be dawn in two hours. Workers have to go out to work to wash and tidy up.

Chu Guang thought that it was not early and was about to call them to gather. However, at this time, there was a knock at the north gate of the base.

A group of players looked at the door. Chu Guang's right hand subconsciously held the pistol in his pocket, but soon released it again.

Through the player list, he confirmed that the people outside should be garbage Jun.

Looking at the two players closest to him, Chu Guang ordered.

"Fang Chang, Lao Bai, open the door."

"Yes!"

Fang Chang and Lao Bai trotted forward, raised the latch stuck on the door, and worked together to open a seam in the wooden door.

Looking at the garbage gentleman who came in through the crack of the door, Fang Chang and Lao Bai were startled.

"Sleeping trough?"

"Brother, what's the matter with you?!"

Blood!

All over!

Although some wounds have healed, most of them are visible bites and gunshot wounds.

Seeing the garbage gentleman, Chu Guang's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. He probably guessed what happened to this guy.

Fortunately, however, if the other party treats it as a different species and it is not very delicious, it is unlikely to pursue it.

Without taking care of his injury, the garbage gentleman quickly walked up to the manager and gasped.

"Marauder's camp! It's about 2 kilometers north of the abandoned site, about 3 to 4 kilometers away from us! There's a tire factory!"

Night ten couldn't help asking, "did you fight with them?"

"No, no, I swear I didn't provoke them!"

The garbage gentleman quickly waved his hand to clarify. After peeking at the manager, he continued, "at that time, I was going to retreat, but I just ran into their patrol... I saw three people."

Night ten: "then you still work with them?"

The garbage gentleman looked embarrassed and looked away.

"Er... I was caught. I can't help it."

Looks like this guy should have lost.

However, it's not surprising that a three person patrol should also bring a dog. This is probably where the bite came from.

Although this guy has an absolute advantage in panel data, he may not benefit from fighting with experienced predator veterans.

I'm lucky to be back.

"Is the tire factory in the north? I know," Chu Guang nodded, looked at the garbage gentleman and said, "go back to the training cabin and have a rest first."

The culture chamber has the function of accelerating the repair of tissue and cells for the clones synthesized by itself. In addition, the garbage King's own physical attributes should be cured in a short time.

"Yes, manager," said the garbage gentleman, waving his tail and limping towards the sanatorium.

Along the way, many players noticed his situation and whispered one after another.

"This guy is hurt so badly!"

"I heard they found the predator camp."

"Marauder camp?! do you want to open a new copy!"

"Cow force!"

"Shit, I have to chip in to buy a gun!"

"Hey, tangle, whether to buy land or guns first."

"Don't be silly. Move the bricks first."

Obviously, these players did not realize the thorny problem, but discussed it with excitement.

This is understandable.

After all, it's a game for them.

Only Chu Guang, as a manager, had a trace of urgency on his eyebrows.

To the north is the predator camp, to the East is the mutant nest, to the west is Linghu, and to the south is the area where the survivors of Bette street and brown farm live.

The location of the outpost is really not very good, and the development space is limited.

"Whether predators or mutants."

"If you want to open up the situation, you can only fight one of them..."

Chu Guang has figured out the content of the next expansion.
