Chapter 49: Chu Guang is in the next big game of chess
In fact, not only Fang Chang has noticed, but many players have also noticed.
This update is much more than just improving the economy and incorporating contribution points into the honor system.
The biggest thing about it is that it emphasizes the cooperation between players and players!
As the number of players increases, this step is inevitable.
A good social system can not only increase the game experience of players, but also increase user stickiness and daily activity.
Although the latter is a bit redundant for the technically strong "Wasteland Online".
So far, the players who have been screened in by Chu Guang are all hardcore, and they can't wait to stay online 24 hours a day, and they are reluctant to play the game if it is not the time to force them offline.
Self-disciplined as if there is no sex life.
Regardless, in the eyes of the vast majority of players, the impact of this update on the cooperation between players is profound.
Although the official social system has not been updated, many settings are actually paving the way for teaming and guild systems.
For example, most typically, players can share land use rights with friends.
5 square meters of land may not be able to do anything, but four players put together and put together a 20 square meters to build a small apartment.
Isn't this the prototype of a guild?
"Xiaoqi, do you know what the soul of a game is?"
"What is it?"
Standing on the 3rd floor of the sanatorium, looking at the players who were busy inside and outside the outpost battle base, the corners of Chu Guang's mouth slightly curled up with a smile.
"It's math."
"Math?"
"Well, to be more accurate, it's numerical design. It's an art, and good numerical design is enough to be a playstyle in its own right. In contrast, the plot, graphics, and setting are the added value that art gives to the game. β
Du Niang is not completely useless.
Occasionally, I can also search for some nonsense.
After a pause, Chu Guang continued slowly.
"Through the design of the values, we can keep the contribution points and money that the vast majority of players who follow the rules in a single day within a reasonable range."
"For example, under normal circumstances, it takes two to three weeks to go from resident to citizen. This time should not be too long and will make the player lose confidence, and it should not be too short, and what is too easy to get is meaningless. When a player becomes a citizen and becomes our core user, we will immediately set them a new goal, such as buying land. β
Xiao Qi tilted the camera.
"Buying land? But the land price you set doesn't seem to be expensive. β
"That's right," Chu Guang nodded, "For players who have already obtained citizenship, buying land itself won't take long, and it's even a matter of digging out their wallets." But after buying the land, you have to put something on it, right? β
"You need cement and bricks to build a house, and steel is needed to build a small western-style house that is stronger. Build a few more houses, won't the production capacity of building materials such as cement, bricks, and steel go up? I don't believe these players would like to see their little nest in the game ugly like a shack. Why do citizenship only give them 5 square meters? If I give them 10 square meters, 20 square meters, soon our safe area will be filled with useless shacks and garbage. β
Xiaoqi: "Ah, this. β
It seems a little difficult for AI to empathize with these things.
But Chu Guang didn't care.
With a faint smile, he continued.
"When the house is built, you can't live in the blank, right? Whether it's a bed, a table or a cabinet, a carpet and curtains, and a light bulb when the electricity is turned on in the future, you have to buy a little furniture. Logs, furs, handicrafts...... In this way, don't production capacity and consumption come up with the left foot and the right foot together? β
Whether it's selling land to build a house or buying furniture, it costs money, right?
And where does the money come from?
Sorry.,This game is still in closed beta.,Krypton gold is not supported for the time being.,If you want to make money, you can honestly do tasks.γLiver copies or work in the field.γ
Through the lever of the task system, Chu Guang can easily regulate the flow of money, thus indirectly controlling the behavior of players.
For example, if there is a shortage of food in the shelter, then increase the rewards for gathering and hunting tasks. If you need to build a house, then increase the income from moving bricks, plastering, and burning cement.
What if mutants or marauders come to the door?
Then it's not about the money.
Chu Guang will release the "Never Retreat" war mobilization in the form of an "in-game event", and temporarily exempt players from the death penalty in the event and issue them weapons.
Face a group of natural disasters that are not afraid of death.
Even mutants who don't know what to fear can be frightened.
ββ¦β¦ When they're almost done playing, I'll open up new status levels for them to play. Behind the citizens there are intermediate citizens, and the land that can be purchased will also be increased to 25 square meters. When the second ring of walls is built, and there is no shortage of cement, bricks, wood, and steel, it is not surprising that they will build a larger house and do it all over again. β
"One day when I get tired of building a house in front of my house, I will throw a noble title to these old players, and then arrange a fiefdom a little farther away, so that they can toss it themselves. Weapons, ammunition, food, fuel, building materials, ...... There are always them who can produce, and if they can't produce it, they can import it from their hometown, just to find something for new players to do. β
"As for later? We'll talk about that later. Damn, I've only unlocked the B1 level of the Vault myself, and I'm worried about them far enough......"
It's unknown how many training pods will be stored in Vault 404, and he'll have to figure out how to make them himself.
He was convinced that the original administrator with great powers had accomplished some "unprecedented" great technique in this sanctuary.
And will definitely tell him the truth of everything after he uncovers all the secrets.
However, although the future road cannot be predicted, Chu Guang's heart is still full of confidence for this major update of the Alpha0.3 version.
He's playing a big game.
In the first phase of his plan, the players who have received nine years of compulsory education are all high-quality productive forces, and there is no problem in skipping the agricultural society and leaping into industrialization.
And after completing the most basic industrialization, there are prerequisites for survival in the wasteland.
In the second stage, as the number of players expands, Chu Guang will try to recruit a group of aborigines from the wasteland to join the outpost and engage in basic production positions such as farming, cutting trees, and burning cement. If there are special talents among these aborigines, he will also arrange special positions for them.
Those who have been upgraded to citizenship can be freed from basic manual labor positions and devote more to challenging and "fun" work such as creativity, combat, and exploration, giving full play to their ability to constantly resurrect and repeat trial and error.
In the third and final stage.
Ideally, the NPC wasteland natives and the clones should have formed a special symbiotic social relationship.
Each other's advantages complement each other, but also restrain each other.
If all goes well, players who own real estate, property, equipment, friendship, and even love here will regard Wasteland OL as their "second life", becoming advocates of order rather than challengers, forming a benign game ecology.
This kind of game actually exists in reality.
Colloquially known as the "server environment".
Of course, Chu Guang also knew that plans could never catch up with changes, so he also prepared a lot of Plan Bs to deal with sudden situations.
But at least for now, the implementation of the first phase of the plan is quite good.
These closed beta players carefully selected by Chu Guang were obviously greedy for the big cake he drawn, and they were even more cooperative than he imagined.
Xiaoqi held the camera, looked at the owner standing next to him, and reminded him in a low voice.
"Master, do you know, you're laughing like a villain right now."
"Villain? Have you ever seen a villain as kind as me? β
Chu Guang glared at the guy who couldn't speak.
"I freed them from the boring routine and gave them an extraordinary and extra 12 hours of their lives. And all they need to pay is a little sweat and dreaming time, and they have nothing to lose, not even a penny! β
Damn it.
That's a shame.
This helmet should be charged!
But after thinking about it, Chu Guang didn't know what the use of the money he wanted, the things he bought online couldn't be delivered, and he didn't need to pay for the electricity bill and helmet cost of the server.
At least for now, it will be a hassle to collect money.
Shaking his head, Chu Guang withdrew his gaze from the window, turned his back to Xiao Qi and yawned.
"It's a bit windy on the rooftop."
"I'll take refuge first, and I'll leave it to you here."
One of his most optimistic "cattle and horse squads" had already set off with bows and arrows, javelins and dry food that he had raised money, and he should have gone hunting.
Chu Guang had been deliberately cultivating the player named Night Ten before, not only teaching him the experience of surviving in the wasteland, how to use "perception" to track prey and perceive danger, but also led him to successfully find the footprints of the deer.
If you can't beat the prey back, you're ashamed of your own cultivation.
There were not many 9mm bullets, so Chu Guang decided to give himself a vacation today.
Xiao Qi moved the camera and obediently took the order.
"Yes, master."
β¦β¦
It was noon.
Next door to the Vault's resident hall, in the half-open cultivation pod, a hoarse whimper emerged.
"Woo woo, sister, I'm finally alive!"
The previous one was so excited that his head slammed on the hatch that had not yet been fully opened, and Raven rubbed his red forehead and sat up from the training pod.
Looking at the delicate skin and proud carcass in the mirror directly opposite, her pupils filled with tears.
Half pain, half excitement.
Before going live, she had been on the forum OB for three whole days!
Three days!
God knows how I survived these three sleepless nights without a helmet.
Wiping away the tears that had been squeezed out, Raven quickly put on the clothes in the storage compartment at the bow, lifted it vigorously, tightened the zipper, and trotted out of the room.
The lights in the residents' hall are on.
Chu Guang, who had just come back from outside, was sitting in front of the computer in the hall surfing the Internet.
Hearing footsteps coming from next door, he casually closed the web he was browsing, released the mouse, and looked over to the player who had walked into the hall.
I saw this little leek bow his head and say in a confessional tone.
"Dear Administrator, please allow me to apologize to you for my hasty and unconscionable actions!"
Although the planner told her that it didn't make sense to apologize, but this NPC did it too realistically.
Especially when he looked over, she always felt that if she didn't say sorry, she couldn't forgive herself.
"You don't have to apologize to me, you've betrayed the trust of the Order, and the people who are still waiting for a long time underground."
Chu Guang glanced at the clothes on her body.
If memory serves, there are only two sets of blue coat uniforms for each training cabin. If this guy dies again, I'm afraid he will have to run.
Although Fuji Teng made some warm animal skin coats, they were only suitable for wearing outside, and if they didn't wear anything inside, it would be a little inappropriate.
Especially this guy's figure is a bit special......
Chu Guang continued expressionlessly.
ββ¦β¦ According to the rules, I should deduct 500 points from your contribution, but unfortunately you don't have any contribution points to deduct. β
Raven lowered her head and said ashamedly.
"I'm really sorry, I'm willing to accept all punishments!"
"Punishment is for you to learn a lesson, and it takes not only courage but also brains to survive in this wasteland. I hope you will cherish your life and this hard-won opportunity to go to the surface. β
Chu Guang paused and continued.
"I've given you a mission to go outside and collect 100 kilograms of food back, including but not limited to wild vegetables, berries, and mushrooms. Until the punitive quest is completed, your status will be reduced from 'resident' to 'sinner', and you will not be able to claim the quest properly and will not be able to receive any rewards. β
"Remember, your balance is no longer enough to pay the death penalty. If you die again, I'll send you back underground for good. β
"It's good to do it yourself."
Permanent repatriation means disqualification from the game.
In the fictional setting, all players come from the deepest part of the Vault - a dormant center frozen by thousands of people, operating as an advance force to return to the surface.
Hearing the words permanent repatriation, Crow's body trembled, and he hurriedly said.
"Yes! I promise never again! β
Satisfied with her introspective attitude, Chu Guang nodded slightly.
"Go ahead."
Crow was about to walk towards the door, but at that moment, the manager at her desk suddenly stopped her.
"Wait a minute."
Raven stopped and turned back.
"Do you have any other commands?"
"Well, you wait a minute, I'll show you something."
As he spoke, Chu Guang took out a box of cans in metal packaging from the drawer, pulled open the pull tab, and tore off the lid of the can.
The aroma wafts out of the can.
Chu Guang was stunned when he saw it.
Unexpectedly, this old canned food, not only is the oil layered, but the condition looks the same as the newly produced.
Isn't it just freshly processed......
Chu Guang's expression was a little strange.
Do I still need to test for poison?
I always feel unnecessary.
The newly resurrected Raven didn't think much of it.
Her stomach was empty at this moment, and she was not hungry, but when she saw the delicious can, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Looking up at the manager, her face was full of disbelief and emotion.
"This, is this for me?"
Chu Guang didn't answer, just asked.
"Want to eat?"
Raven nodded quickly.
"Yes."
Chu Guang continued to ask.
"Is there anything wrong with that color? Like what...... Green light? β
Raven shook her head vigorously.
"Nope!"
When she was hungry, everything tasted good, and her attention was completely hooked by the food, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva again.
This manager is too conscientious!
Although he had just punished himself, but-
"Okay, I got it."
Chu Guang took the can back.
"I'll show you, don't think too much."
Raven: "??? β
In the end, the little player ran out with tears in his eyes.
Chu Guang, who was sitting on a chair eating canned food, also felt that he might indeed be a little too much this time......
