Chapter 62

Chu Guang didn't pay much attention to the expression of the crow when he stepped into the nest of the mutant leech.

However, when she appeared at the door of the warehouse with a large bag of mushrooms, her face was always gray with joy.

Looking at the blue mushroom stuffed with a sack, Chu Guang's tone couldn't help but take a trace of surprise.

"So much?"

The gasping crow nodded hard and said with a smile.

"I went in three times! I almost got bitten. Hey."

Chu Guang: "

Three times?!

That's brave.

He wouldn't dare anyway.

After weighing, a sack of mushrooms has a total of 70 kilograms.

This figure far exceeded Chu Guang's expectations.

According to his original estimate, she could pick about 40 or 50 kilograms. Unexpectedly, she worked up to 70 kilograms.

"A total of 560 copper coins, equivalent to 56 silver coins. In addition, there are 700 contribution points..."

Will you give too much?

forget it.

After all, people risked their lives to make it.

Hearing the number read out by the manager, the crow jumped up excitedly and waved his fist excitedly.

"NAIS!"

"I'm rich, ha ha ha!"

Chu Guang: "

Although I am an NPC, can you find a place where no one is excited?

The thickness of a silver coin is less than 2mm, and 50 pieces are bundled in a stack of about 9 ~ 10cm, which is only a drop in the ocean relative to the small vault of the refuge.

After receiving the reward, crow crow happily hummed and left, while Chu Guang, standing at the door of the warehouse, touched his chin and thought in his heart.

At present, the richest players are probably Lao Bai and Fang Chang. Their strength and understanding of the game are almost the first tier of players.

During this time, they have been hunting and almost found out the areas with the highest prey activities nearby. Their daily income has increased from 52 silver coins to 100. Even if the hunting income is unstable, they should have saved a lot of money these days.

For security reasons, Chu Guang checks the players' lockers every day.

Not surprisingly, today's niuma team should be able to save 200 silver coins and raise funds to buy the land closest to the resurrection point.

In addition to them, the deposits of other players are also rising steadily. Even if some will be consumed when buying wooden weapons, iron weapons, leather protective gear, cold coat, tools and food, the players with the least deposits basically hold more than 10 silver coins.

"Maybe we should update the 'bank' function."

This will not only save players' storage space, but also send them the silver coins they have saved.

The more Chu Guang thought, the more reasonable he felt. He immediately took out the small book in his pocket and wrote it down.

When there is a chance, this function must be arranged!

……

While storing the mushrooms in the warehouse, Chu Guang checked the inventory of the warehouse.

Except for the part consumed in the business transaction with Honghe Town, the bacon surplus has been close to 700 kg. After deducting the daily consumption, it can store about 100 ~ 200 kg every day, and most of them are contributed by the cattle and horse team.

Today is the 20th.

If the luck is not too bad, we should be able to increase the inventory to 2000 kg by the end of the month, take out half of it and replace it with grain and potato, at least about 5 tons.

According to the consumption of 4 liang meat and 7 Liang meters per person per day, 1000 kg of air dried meat is enough for 100 people for 50 days, and 5 tons of grain is enough for 100 people for 142 days.

Of course, these are ideal situations. It is not surprising that there is a deviation of more than 20% between the actual situation and the theoretical estimation. After all, the amount of food is also related to the amount of exercise. If you do more work, you will naturally be hungry quickly. When you don't have work, you can eat every day.

"... if we want to increase the number of sealed and measured people to 100, we must double the theoretical estimated grain reserves. Especially meat... If we can catch prey in winter, it will be troublesome if we can't catch prey."

But from another point of view, maybe you don't need so much food?

When it's too cold, it's not necessary for everyone to go online, or even every day.

If it is in the dormant state, the materials consumed by the clone will be greatly reduced, and it can even not eat for 7 consecutive days.

It's just that players may not be happy not to work for such a long time. They must be singing on the official website again.

However, Chu Guang also wants a good countermeasure. At that time, a word of server maintenance will be OK.

Where is a server that is not maintained?

That makes sense.

Looking at the account book in his hand, Chu Guang was thinking about the future of the shelter. At this time, a player trotted in from the outside.

"Manager, there are aborigines coming!"

aboriginal?

Chu Guang, who moved away from the account book, was slightly stunned.

Sun Shiqi's front foot has just left. He can't come back, can he?

Can it be someone else?

Return the ledger to the player who is the warehouse keeper. Chu Guang asks the player who reports to him.

"How many of them and from which direction?"

"South! There are two men and a girl!"

south?

Hearing this direction, Chu Guang probably guessed who was coming

……

The South Gate of the outpost.

The old man with wrinkles on his face and a fur coat looked up at the concrete wall hundreds of meters wide. His muddy pupils were filled with shock and surprise.

It seems that the last time he came to Linghu Wetland Park was two years ago.

The scavengers on Bette Street mainly go south. Unless they are hunting, they rarely go north along the out of town viaduct. After all, there may be marauders robbing passing caravans.

As for Linghu Wetland Park, it is probably a blind spot that will be missed by scavenging and hunting.

There is not much prey to fight and there is not much garbage to pick up. Few survivors will visit here.

Unexpectedly, someone built a survivor stronghold in the forest!

Although the three meter high concrete wall looks a little shorter, it is better in brand-new and firm. Compared with the repaired broken wall on Bette street, I don't know where the sense of security is.

Near the gate of the wall stood some shelter residents in blue coats.

The old man took courage and shouted.

"I'm here to see your manager."

No one responded to him.

Those people just looked and whispered impolitely, but they couldn't tell whether their eyes were kind or malicious.

It seems that

More like pure curiosity?

"... are you sure it's here?"

The old man looked at the second son next to him with some hesitation in his eyes.

With a big package on his back, Yu Hu nodded vigorously in the eyes of his father's inquiry, and said in a positive tone.

"That's it!"

The expression on the old man's face was obviously more hesitant.

"They don't seem to welcome us."

Yu Hu looked slightly embarrassed and whispered close to his father.

"Maybe they don't welcome us, they just... Don't understand what we're talking about."

The old man was stunned.

I cannot understand you?

Not really... The foreigner in the blue coat didn't understand.

Yu Xiaoyu looked at his father and brother and the wall in front of him. His big black eyes were full of curiosity.

It was the first time she had left Bette street and had gone so far.

Chu Guang

Really here?

At this time, a familiar figure appeared at the door. When he saw the face, the fish's eyes suddenly lit up.

However, there are too many strangers nearby.

Hiding behind her brother, she showed only half her face and looked around timidly and curiously.

Surrounded by a crowd of blue coats, Chu Guang came to the three and stopped.

Looking at the old man who started, Chu Guang didn't say hello, so the old man plopped on the ground without warning and stunned the people around him.

Chu Guang was also confused.

What is this??

"Dad?!"

Yu Hu looked surprised, but before he could ask, his father grabbed his arm and knelt down.

The little fish looked confused.

She didn't understand what her father and brother were doing, and she didn't know what to do, so she tried to follow their actions.

"What are you doing... Get up!" Chu Guang, with a big face, came forward and helped the old man up from the ground.

But the old man refused to get up. He just lowered his head and moved his Adam's apple for a long time before squeezing out a word from his mouth.

"Thank you."

"You saved our family!"

He's old enough to work for at least two or three years. In fact, he's a little reluctant this year.

His son Yu Xiong, as the eldest son of the Yu family, is also the strongest labor force of the Yu family, which can be said to be the backbone of the whole family.

If something happens to Yu Xiong, his family will have to suffer from hunger and cold.

The old man knew very well.

The stranger not only saved his son's life, but also his whole family.

But Chu Guang didn't think so much. He didn't have to calculate everything. Saving people was just easy.

"You're embarrassing me... Anyway, get up first."

Now is not the time to be modest. You can't let people kneel all the time.

With that, Chu Guang helped the old man up from the ground with a little strength in his hand.

Perhaps because of Chu Guang's embarrassment, the old man didn't continue to kneel after getting up. Instead, he reached out and took down the package on his second son's back.

It was a package made of deer skin. There were some animal fur stacked inside. It looked heavy.

The old man held it in his hands and handed it to Chu Guang. He said sincerely.

"You are the benefactor of our Yu family. We can't let you waste your precious medicine in vain."

"We have nothing else to give you. These fur are stripped from mutant hyenas and reindeer. There are seven in total... Apart from the tribute left to the mayor, this is all our property."

"I know these things are not enough to repay your kindness, but if we do nothing, we will be uneasy."

"Please take it!"

If you accept all the wealth of a poor man, you will feel uneasy.

Chu Guang couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. It's not right to accept it directly, or not.

However, at this time, Chu Guang suddenly felt a move in his heart. He thought that even if the old man took back these fur, he would sell them to the old leech on Bette street, and then he was ruthlessly slaughtered. He couldn't get much money at all.

He remembered clearly that there was a sign hanging in front of old Charlie's grocery store. It said that a mutant hyena skin for 2 chips and a reindeer skin for 4 chips.

Four of the seven skins are mutant hyenas and three are mutant reindeer. The old man can sell up to 20 chips at the price of Bette street.

This unequal transaction itself is exploitation, not to mention that these 20 chips can hardly exchange for anything good on Bette street.

For example, green wheat, if you want to buy green wheat in Beite street with chips, you need a full 3 chips per kilogram. The price itself is almost three times that of brown farm!

It is equivalent to 10 animal skins that can resist the cold. When they are sold and bought, they can't exchange 10 kilograms of grain.

And before food prices rose.

Is that reasonable?

It must be unreasonable!

Of course, these survivors take the chips in exchange for fur, mainly to exchange salt or other daily necessities, and they buy less grain directly. After all, they will plant some antlers themselves, and dig tree roots, catch mice and hunt to obtain rations.

But anyway, the old leech is too much.

Chu Guang has long disliked him!

So Chu Guang resolutely reached out and took all these fur, handed it to the player closest to him and ordered him to say.

"Send it to the warehouse and take 1 kilogram of crude salt. I'll pay you 5 copper coins."

Although there are a lot of copper coins, which plot is interesting?

The player looked reluctant.

Although the manager and these aborigines can't understand anything there, who hasn't seen two movies without subtitles these days?

However, the managers have put things in his hands and didn't give him a chance to refuse.

Seeing that he didn't move, the plot didn't go. Even if the little player was reluctant, he had to run to the base.

Didn't wait long.

Players who had previously run back to the base quickly trotted out with a black plastic bag.

Chu Guang took the crude salt from him and stuffed it into the old man's hand.

"I'll take the fur. There's almost a kilogram of crude salt. You should treat it as reciprocity!"

The old man was stunned and saw the salt in the bag. He was so worried that he hurriedly pushed the bag of coarse salt back and refused to accept it.

"How can that work!"

"You are the benefactor of our Yu family. How can I accept your gift!"

A kilogram of crude salt!

In Beite street, 100g requires 2 chips, and one kilogram is 20 chips, not to mention that when they weigh salt, they are always short of weight, and those with good quality are turned over and sold.

This bag of salt brought by Chu Guang is also coarse salt, but its quality is much better than that sold in the grocery store under the name of the old mayor.

At least it looks bright, the luster is not so turbid, and the color is not so yellow!

"Just keep it. I'll take advantage of you this time."

He pushed the plastic bag back. Chu Guang looked at the old man and said with a smile.

"If you still have this fur next time, you can bring it to me."

"A hyena skin for 150g and a deer skin for 300g."

"I'll take as much as you have!"
