Chapter 105

After the order was given, the survivors quickly demolished their huts and marched to the brick factory in the northwest.

Although they came from there before and are now tossed back, no one has any complaints about the arrangement of the manager.

It's lucky to be alive from the predator's dungeon, not to mention being able to wear warm clothes and eat.

Seeing this battle, the square leader and Lao Bai, who were measuring the land in the brick kiln, stopped their work one after another, walked up to the manager and asked.

"Dear manager, who are these people..."

Chu Guang said without hesitation.

"These people are survivors saved by us. In order to repay our saving grace, they are willing to support our construction!"

The faces of Fang Chang and Lao Bai suddenly floated with joy.

Players have gone to do novice tasks. They are worried that no one works hard. These labor forces can be said to solve their urgent needs.

"How much do we have to pay them?"

In fact, you don't have to pay them.

However, since the players took the initiative to ask, Chu Guang said after considering the authenticity for a moment.

"1 silver per person per day. I'll deduct this expenditure directly from your account. You just need to ensure that they don't starve and don't freeze to death."

"In addition, pay attention to construction safety. I don't want to reduce the number of workers because of poor working conditions. This will not only affect our regional reputation, but also delay production."

"If there are casualties, 100 silver coins will be deducted for each as a pension."

Of course, this pension cannot be paid to NPC, but it is only a constraint at the setting level.

Moreover, these aborigines do not rare these metal pieces. For them, this gadget with no recycling value is better than giving a piece of meat.

As he spoke, Chu Guang sent the pre edited task to Lao Bai through his VM.

Although it is a little far from the outpost, it does not affect the point-to-point information transmission between the two VM devices.

After triggering the task of hiring NPC workers, niuma brick factory will automatically pay 23 silver coins from its account every day as the "wages" of these employees.

Compared with the players' salary of at least 10 silver coins a day, it is very cheap to hire these NPCs to work.

Fangchang and Laobai agreed happily.

Of course, in order to prevent these players from being worse than themselves, Chu Guang added a sentence later.

"The minimum food standard per person per day is one kilogram of green wheat. Of course, this is only the minimum nutritional standard. If you want them to work harder, you can buy more meat and fish, and even go to the city to play some game for them."

Can feed NPC!

good heavens.

This game is not only a business element, but also a nurturing element.

As soon as Fang Chang and Lao Bai's eyes lit up, they immediately vowed.

"Don't worry, manager, we will feed the workers for nothing!"

"That's right! Even if I'm hungry, I won't make them hungry!"

Emmm……

There's no need to exaggerate.

Eating too much is actually not conducive to work. There is an example in the outpost.

But Chu Guang didn't say anything.

Exploration itself is part of the fun of the game.

These players will naturally find a suitable way. They only need to grasp the general direction.

It is neither realistic nor necessary to manipulate everyone's life.

……

The 23 survivors settled down in the brick factory and changed their identity from refugees to brick burners at the outpost.

They set up camp quickly. In less than an hour, they copied the shack they made in front of the south gate here.

Although it looks a little crude, it's still no problem to shelter from the wind and rain.

For survivors on the waste land, it is almost a necessary talent to quickly build a shelter that can prevent wind and rain.

But the players are not very good at it.

Even the garbage gentleman who claims to be "99 level garbage collector" has never picked up garbage in reality. He has poured garbage downstairs at most.

Watching these survivors build the shelter, Chu Guang finds Zhao rat and a survivor from outside Qingquan City, sends them a VM dedicated to NPC respectively, and appoints them as foremen to communicate with the players.

If other survivors have any comments, report to the player at the first time. In special cases, you can use the "task system" to ask the player for help.

However, there are fixed gear restrictions on the task rewards of different NPCs, and you can't sprinkle money to players at will.

This is similar to other MMORPG games.

The gear set by Chu Guang to the two foremen is up to 2 silver coins, which can be released every 72 hours. The lowest gear is 5 copper coins, and the CD time is 24 hours.

If there are any difficulties in life, such as the shed leaks and needs fuel, you can release the lowest level task to the player. If someone is ill or injured, you can release the task with the highest reward.

Of course, Chu Guang didn't tell these NPCs the name of "task system" and its real meaning, but told them how to use these functions carefully in an abstract way and asked those "omnipotent" blue coats for reasonable help.

Like other NPCs, each release mission and conversation with players will leave a record in the VM.

Chu Guang will ask Luca to come over every once in a while, collect these data with VM, take them back to the outpost for archiving, and review these data with the assistance of AI.

Just through these data, Chu Guang can easily grasp what exchanges and interactions have taken place between players and aborigines, and can also easily check whether these NPCs have released some tasks that are "inconsistent with their personal settings and identity".

If so, Chu Guang will deal with the "bug".

"The rules just implemented will certainly have loopholes. Just now there are few people in the closed beta stage, so you can try and make mistakes slowly."

Looking at the distant back, Chu Guang touched his chin and thought.

"... after the internal test stage, a relatively perfect NPC and player interaction system should be formed."

Um.

I deserve it!

After arranging everything here, Chu Guang left contentedly.

……

6:00 p.m. waste time.

After Lao Bai went offline, he immediately went to the forum and posted a post.

"The nickname is Wai ha! Niuma brick factory will officially open tomorrow! There is a big reward activity for opening, and all orders will be 10% off tomorrow! What are players waiting for? Come and order quickly!"

At this moment, the reality is 6 a.m.

There are few people in the general forum at this time, but the official website of "waste soil ol" is just the opposite. Usually, there are the most people at this point.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes: "how much can you produce per day?"

Lao Bai: "not much, not much. At present, there is no problem with a daily output of one or two thousand yuan. Strive to achieve a daily output of tens of thousands before the end of the month! (show your teeth)"

Scrambled egg with tomato: "beef!!"

Professor Yang, king of lightning Law: "the boss gives me a ton!"

Gale: "our bricks are not sold by ton. The specifications and dimensions are fixed. They are sold by block. 100 standard bricks and 1 silver coin."

Night 10: "brother Feng is an honest man. What are you talking about with Professor Yang? He doesn't even have the qualification to seal the test. (funny)"

Lord Aonai I he: "laugh, 100 bricks need silver coins? Please calculate it in writing. It takes hundreds of millions of bricks to build a house? Apart from the distance, our family spent 500 million yuan to build a two-story house, and it costs millions of silver coins to build a house? I heard that you only have single digit silver coins for a task? Hehe, your game is very realistic."

Irene: "big brother, is your name the Forbidden City? Then you have to ask for tickets back? (funny)"

Leave someone under the knife: "hahaha, bar it. The Forbidden City doesn't use so much, it's only 80 million pieces. However, the specification of that kind of clear paste brick is much larger."

Irene: I'll just say it casually. (funny)

The toilet with an area of 2.5 * 2m in the set is 3 meters high, and the wall area is 27 square meters. The 18cm wall has 96 bricks, and 2600 bricks are more than enough.

Even if most players choose to build a house together and build a large and high row, the per capita will not exceed 5000 bricks.

100 bricks a silver coin, 50 silver coins per capita, the price is still very reasonable.

In the later stage, when the demand for bricks is large, the price may rise, but the range of rise and fall is limited to 100%. Unless the NPC warehouse in charge of prices adjusts the benchmark value, it will rise to 2 silver coins at most.

After all, if it were more expensive and everyone went to think about building a house with wood, the gain would not be worth the loss.

Brother yeao is still the same. He is as unruly and unruly as his ID. he pretends to be forced and runs away, regardless of Aite.

After all, it was a favorite of the version. We didn't care. We continued the topic smoothly.

Picking up garbage level 99: "boss Bai, I'm Mengxin. Can I have credit without money?"

Lao Bai: "no, brother, we are also working. The majority of our shares are in the shelter. But it doesn't matter if we don't have money. Welcome to the brick factory. We suddenly have a pile of NPCs here. It's very interesting."

Night ten: "Indeed, if you hit the prey to them, they will not only say thank you, but also immediately set up a big pot to stew the prey, and then give you the best leg meat and the first bowl of broth. These NPCs are like alive. Hey, I have played so many games, but this game has the most comfortable interaction between players and NPCs I have ever seen, and the details are the most awesome!"

Pick up garbage level 99: "sleeping trough? Do you hang like this? Wait, did we save your NPC from the predator?"

Fang Chang: "yes."

Site youth and brick: "cow batch!! connected before and after!"

Mole at large in the canyon: "envy and cry! We are still doing tasks for NPC, and you have begun to call NPC!"

Ward's beriberi who Levin: "black curtain! I don't care, our steel plant has to have it! Or it's black curtain! (crazy)"

WC really has mosquitoes: "black curtain! Goblin technology also needs NPCs!"

Night 10: "go, do you want a hammer NPC to be a human flesh bomb? I advise you to be a person."

Fang Chang: "well, in fact, it's not as exaggerated as you think. Most of these NPCs can't interact, and they will say 'thank you', 'yes',' yes', and 'bricklayer'. After careful observation, only NPCs wearing VM devices can interact in the real sense, and the rest don't look very smart."

Canyon escaped mole: "well, that's almost what I thought. It would really be more reasonable. If all NPCs could interact, the server of the game would be too awesome."

Now there are few people, just a cattle and horse brick factory.

When the number of players comes up in the later stage, even if the ratio of NPC to player is 1:10, it is enough for the server to explode.

Gale: "... I think a virtual reality technology alone is strong enough."

Mole at large in the canyon: "let's not talk about this first. Have you tried to communicate with the NPC that can interact? Have you triggered any special dialogue? Or hidden tasks?"

Fang Chang: "... Hidden task?"

Canyon's escaped mole: "yes! Normally, NPCs with rich text generally have hidden tasks to do? It's not written in those virtual reality online game novels. Haven't you tried?"

Fang Chang was silent for a long time before he replied.

"... well, of course I tried, but it doesn't seem to mean to trigger the task? They just burn bricks. The task assigned to us by the manager is to let them repair the brick kiln."

Mole at large in the canyon: "Hey, you still lack imagination! This MMORPG, not to mention the role of foreman, even a ugly old hen at the gate of novice village, as long as its rattling voice is different from others, it may be a hidden boss! Forget it, it's no use talking to you so much. I'll go online and try it myself later."

Fangchang: "... I warn you, don't mess around. It's a big problem that affects the production of our brick factory!"

Mole at large in the canyon: "Hey, no, no, I just want to talk to him! I promise I won't touch your NPC!"

Tail: "Oh, that sounds interesting. Take a tail!"

Si Si: "Oh, rush!"

……

Since he was thrown into the dungeon by the Marauder that day, Zhao mouse never thought that he could come out of the dungeon alive one day.

To be honest, life is like a dream to him now.

Comfortable bedding, warm brazier and rich food only need to work 16 hours a day, and the rest of the time is their own.

Not only that, those blue coats with great ability can occasionally get one or two game and open meat for them.

To tell the truth, every time he took game from the residents of the shelter, Zhao mouse felt flattered.

They have seen how cruel these people are.

Even those Marauders are as good as chickens in front of them. They dare not breathe. It was the first time Zhao rat saw those evil spirits with such a frightened expression on his face.

In his perception, predators are already at the top of the food chain.

"Hello, what's your name?"

Hearing the residents of the shelter talking to him, Zhao mouse immediately stopped, skillfully looked at the VM on his left arm and said in a non-standard pronunciation.

"Hello, my name is Zhao mouse. I'm the foreman here. How can I help you?"

These strange Pinyin were taught by the old Luca a few days ago. It's not difficult to learn the pronunciation of each phonetic symbol, but it's a little awkward to use.

Hearing what he said, the residents of the surrounding shelter were instantly excited.

"He can talk!"

"Sure enough, it can interact!"

"Man, can you shout Ollie? Please."

"Go away! Don't listen to him, man. Do you have any difficulties? Tell us and we'll help you out!"

Zhao mouse looked blankly.

His VM didn't respond. He didn't tell him what these people were saying or how to answer.

At the request of the administrator, he remained silent, but the residents of these shelters gathered around him and kept chattering.

Zhao mouse was a little flustered.

He was worried that ignoring these people's behavior would irritate them and lead to death.

After all, this is a time when personal life is thinner than paper.

He doesn't think his life is more expensive than those people in front of him.

At this time, Zhao mouse suddenly remembered another sentence that the manager told him when he left.

If the residents of these shelters don't go around him, press the gray circle button in the upper right corner of the screen and read out the line of Pinyin displayed on the screen.

Not daring to hesitate, zhao shu immediately followed suit.

Swallowed his saliva, he said with a stiff expression.

"My worker brothers are hungry. We need a fish. Can you help us?"

Hearing this, the nearby players were so excited that they almost didn't cheer out.

"Whoa, whoa! It's done!"

"Is the key word 'task'? Well, try another grammar next time to see if it can trigger a similar effect."

"The task requires fish, right? OK!"

"It's displayed on my VM! I'll pick it up - Gan! How can the reward be 5 copper coins?"

"Maybe part of it is goodwill? Is it a loss to exchange a fish for 5 copper coins? Who of you has sold fish?"

"Whatever, I'll take the task. Any fish will do, right? Let's steal one from the lake fisherman!"

“gogogo！”

Zhao mouse didn't know what he meant and didn't understand the players' answers, but it wasn't long before he got a fish.

Moreover, the fish is not small. It is as long as an arm. The energetic fish tail keeps patting around, and the water splashes everywhere.

Zhao mouse swallowed his saliva again.

This time it was greedy.

However, having said that, he still didn't forget the instructions of the manager. He quickly clicked the green tick on the VM and read out the words displayed on the screen.

"On behalf of the workers, I thank you and wish you a happy day. Generous sir, this fish has been a great help!"

"We don't have any more trouble to need your help, or can you come back tomorrow?"

Hearing this, the players around left with a disappointed face.

That night.

Zhao shu, holding steaming fish soup in his hand and having dinner with his workmates, thought for a long time and didn't understand what he said at that time, which disappointed these blue coats.

But he dared not ask more.

Those blue coats are big people.

The only person who can control them is the manager who always carries a hammer.

The manager has repeatedly said that they are prohibited from revealing any clues about the mission system and communicating with the residents of the shelter on this matter.

Zhao mouse dared not disobey the adult's order. He vowed that he would not reveal a word even if he died.

In any case, the fish stew is very good. It's delicious to put a few pinecones and salt in it.

With this bowl of fish soup in hand, everyone has more strength to work!
