The first day of alpha 0.3 release.

The test results of the new version are quite encouraging.

Thanks to the division of labor among the players, the walls around the outpost were finally completely completed.

The three-meter-high concrete fortifications not only bring a sense of security, but also create the possibility for players to play at night.

Before, at 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 xenos who went out to forage.

Now with the protection of the fence, it's okay for players to stay on the surface until the in-game character starts to get sleepy (fatigue runs out) if they want to.

Of course, for the sake of safety, Chu Guang still forbade players to use the blast furnace and other facilities with open flames at night.

During the day, it was okay to make steel and burn cement, but the woods blocked a lot of smoke and dust, and the fire was not so obvious during the day. However, if it is night, it is not good.

The mutant tribe of 76th Street is like a thorn stuck in the throat of the outpost. If he didn't pull out this thorn, Chu Guang wouldn't be able to settle down.

In addition to the walls, the weapon shop and bathhouse have also been built with the efforts of the players. Although it is not very luxurious, it is already able to use.

Especially the bathhouse with a partition, Chu Guang was simply too satisfied.

In the past, whether it was him or the player, they had to go to the lake to wash, but now with the bathhouse, the sanitation problem can be solved directly in the base.

Of course, the wooden water tank on the top of the bathhouse can only store 5 cubic meters of water, so if you use it for a long time, the water will inevitably run out.

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

Therefore, the wise and great administrator is considering turning the bathhouse from a public facility into a charging facility, charging a water fee of 5 copper coins for every 1 square meter of water. At the same time, an additional cloud plumber post was set up to fill the water tank at the top of the bathhouse.

It makes sense.

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

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

Just listening to the tinkling of the money bag can dispel the fatigue and weakness of the limbs, and let them fight in their posts with high morale.

Among them, the best performance is still the cattle and horse squad.

The four old leeks are worthy of being high-level play, and the quadrilateral tactics integrate reconnaissance, front row, output, and support, and the first cooperation has shown remarkable results.

By evening, they had hunted eight mutant hyenas and one mutant reindeer as they explored the elevated highway south.

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

Although the meat retrieval rate of mutant hyenas and mutant reindeer is not high, it is usually only in the early 40% and does not exceed 50%.

But even so, the scrambled egg brothers, who served as temporary butchers, still got more than 100 kilograms of hyena meat and more than 100 kilograms of venison from these prey.

The meat is made into smoked meat and stored in storage. And before it is made into bacon, players can also spend money on fresh raw meat for their own dinner.

It is worth mentioning that the original outpost was all eaten in a large pot of rice, and the scrambled egg brother who served as the cook arranged the recipe for two meals a day every day.

What the players can eat depends on the mood of the chef and what prey the manager brings back that day.

Now it's completely different.

The base's granary will be open to all players, and the price will be fair and affordable, and 1 silver coin will be exchanged for 1 kilogram of green barley, or 300g of raw meat, or 200g of bacon jerky.

What is the concept of 1 silver coin?

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

In other words, the vast majority of players can buy rations to fill their stomachs as long as they work seriously for 1~2 hours, or patiently do some tasks.

Players can decide whether to take the food they buy and stuff it in their mouths, add condiments to cook it into green wheat porridge or wheat cakes, or eat it with other people or even trade it.

When Chu Guang was designing this simple economic system before, he had calculated an account.

A mutant hyena in his early 30s can remove almost 12 kilograms of meat by removing the inedible internal organs and head.

Buying prey from hunters for a base price of 5 silver coins, and hiring a butcher to slaughter and cramp and skin it for an average cost of 2 silver coins, the total cost is only 7 silver coins at zero cost.

Suppose 12 kilograms of meat are removed, and at 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 of 7 silver coins, the cost of circulation can be negligible, so in this simple economic chain, a surplus value of 33 silver coins will be generated.

This number doesn't mean anything to the players, after all, they play a game, but for Chu Guang, who is a manager, it means too much.

As long as this "prey-to-meat" economic chain can be maintained, each operation will provide the outpost's granaries with "33 silver worth of raw meat" and "pelts worth a few silver coins".

Of course, it is impossible for players to consume all the raw meat, and even if they take all the money out of their pockets, they cannot buy everything they produce, and it is not appropriate to eat too much.

Therefore, in addition to a small amount of meat that is purchased by the player with the silver coins he sends, more raw meat will be left over and used as a "raw material" to flow into the new economic chain, in the form of air-dried meat into the granary, as a food reserve for the shelter.

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

With the two levers of price and mission rewards, it is easy to adjust the inventory of various materials and the focus of the player's work at the current stage.

For example, now that the walls have been built, the need for plastering and moving bricks has decreased, and in its place more food and weapons are needed to feed and arm more players.

Therefore, Chu Guang will appropriately lower the price of weapons in the carpentry hut to stimulate players to order weapons and upgrade equipment, and at the same time increase the purchase price of prey, urging powerful players to use the purchased weapons to hunt and improve their proficiency.

In this way, players have money, equipment, and combat experience. And Chu Guang's side not only obtained a large amount of food reserves, but also obtained a batch of soldiers with abundant martial virtues.

It's a win-win situation!

No, it should be a win-win-win!

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

Those few coins were like catalysts, creating nothing but revitalizing the outpost's economy.

Chu Guang felt that he was simply a genius.

The only small problem that arises is that there is no one to cook today.

Brother Scrambled Eggs hasn't saved enough money yet, and the restaurant hasn't opened yet.

And in order to save money, almost everyone went to the warehouse to mix the subsistence allowance, bought a kilogram of croissants with 1 silver coin, and a few teammates rented a large pot to start a fire, and when they were cooked casually, they held and gnawed it, and then rented it to the next person after they finished gnawing.

It's actually not in the way if it's not cooked, this thing can be eaten raw, it's just a matter of hygiene and taste.

It seems that in an instant, everyone who has a goal of struggle suddenly does not pay attention to whether the food is delicious or not, and carries forward the style of hard work to the extreme, and the only requirement is only one, just be able to eat enough!

Only Raven is different.

Everyone else was happily nibbling on potatoes, but she couldn't even afford them.

Because the manager forgot to give her a subsistence allowance, and because she didn't find her teammates too late to go online, she was sitting in the corner with a resentful face munching on sour berries and mushrooms.

In the end, Fuji Teng couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked over and divided half a bowl of mashed croissants with her.

Looking at the gobbling crow, Fujito couldn't bear to taunt her, and said with a sigh.

"From tomorrow onwards, you have to do your job hard to make money, I can't keep supporting you."

Raven was moved to save the vine.

"Fujito, are you an angel!"

Looking at the crow with tears in her eyes, Fujito, whose face was squeezed out of shape, sighed and came out from under her arm with a red face.

“…… What stupid things are you talking about. ”

It was getting dark.

Chu Guang, who was wandering through the base, was inspecting his territory and the situation of the players.

Although the vast majority of players want to stay a little longer, wait another two hours for the reality that it will be dawn, and the workers will have to go to work after washing up and tidying up.

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

The players looked towards the door, and Chu Guang's right hand also subconsciously held the pistol in his pocket, but quickly let go again.

Through the list of players, he confirmed that the people outside should be garbage-kun.

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

"Captain Fang, Lao Bai, you go open the door."

"Yes!"

Fang Chang and Lao Bai trotted forward, lifted the latch that was stuck in the door, and together pulled the wooden door open a crack.

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

"?"

"Brother, what's wrong with you?!"

Blood!

All over the body!

Although some of the wounds have healed, many more are visible bites and gunshot wounds.

Seeing the appearance of the garbage king, Chu Guang's brows furrowed slightly, he had probably guessed what had happened to this guy.

But fortunately, if the other party treats it as a different species, and it is not very tasty, it is unlikely to be pursued.

Ignoring his injuries, Trash Jun walked quickly in front of the manager and said with a pant.

"Marauders' camp! It's about 2 kilometers north of the abandoned construction site, and about 3 to 4 kilometers from us! It's a tire factory! ”

Ye Shi couldn't help but ask, "You fought with them?" ”

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

Junjun hurriedly waved his hand to clarify, and after peeking at the manager, he continued, "I was planning to retreat at that time, but I happened to bump into their patrol...... There were three of them at first glance. ”

Night Ten: "And then you still got into it with them?" ”

Trash-kun looked embarrassed and looked away.

"Uh...... I was bumped into, but I can't help it. ”

Looks like this guy should have lost the fight.

However, it is not surprising that the patrol of three people should also bring a dog, and the bite on its body is probably from this.

Although this guy has an absolute advantage in panel data, he may not be able to get advantage when he fights with experienced marauder veterans.

I'm lucky to be able to run back.

"What is the tire factory in the north, I know," Chu Guang nodded, looked at the garbage gentleman and said, "You go back to the cultivation cabin to rest first." ”

The culture cabin has the function of accelerating the repair of tissue cells for the clones synthesized by itself, and coupled with the physical attributes of the garbage monarch itself, it should not take long to heal.

"Yes, Administrator." With that, the garbage gentleman wagged his tail and limped in the direction of the sanatorium.

Along the way, many players noticed his situation and whispered quietly.

"This guy is so badly injured!"

"I heard the raider camp was found."

"Marauder camp?! It's time to open a new dungeon! ”

"Awesome!"

"Damn, we need to scrape together some money to buy a gun!"

"Hey, it's tangled, whether to buy land or guns first."

"Don't be stupid, let's move bricks first."

Obviously, these players didn't realize the problem was tricky, but instead discussed it with excitement.

And there's nothing wrong with that.

After all, it's a game for them.

Only Chu Guang, who was a manager, had a hint of urgency on his eyebrows.

To the north is the Marauder Camp, to the east is the mutant lair, to the west is the Diamond Lake, and to the south is the area where the survivors of Bate Street and Brown Farm operate.

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

"Whether it's a marauder or a mutant."

"If you want to open up the situation, you can only fight with it......"

Chu Guang has already thought about the content of the next expansion film.
