Seven.

As players went offline one after another, the official website gradually became lively.

It has been 12 hours since the launch of Alph 0.3, and both prospective players who have already pre-registered and have not yet obtained the qualification, or those cloud players who have not made a reservation at all, are waiting for the first-hand information of the new version.

Chu Guang brought a meal to Xia Yan's little sister, and then hummed a little song and sat down in front of the computer, opened the forum and began to peep at the screen.

The first post I saw was that of the garbage gentleman.

[It's finally confirmed today!] The tire factory, three kilometers north of the abandoned site, is a marauder camp! The number of people is probably between 50 and 100! I was hoping to get a captive back, but there were a lot of them, but fortunately they were obviously frightened by me, and I slapped the dog who had bitten me on the arm, and escaped while they were reloading. 】

[Damn, that dog almost bit my tail off!] This time, the marauders are much fiercer than the last time! 】

Chu Guang: "......"

What is written in this post is not the same as what I heard half an hour ago.

Chu Guang remembered that this guy didn't say that he didn't take the initiative to provoke those marauders? The injuries on his body were caused by crashing into a raider's patrol on his return.

However, according to the post, it seems that he took the initiative to attack in order to capture a prisoner.

This kid didn't tell the truth.

Chu Guang thought for a while and shook his head.

Forget it, it doesn't matter.

The first posts that come out are usually not nutritious.

As for the marauder camp of the garbage king, the old irons in the forum listened to him for almost three days. As a result, after squatting for three days, he was killed and fled.

Everyone in the building expressed their unacceptability.

Quit smoking: [What the hell is the number of people between 50 and 100, how many are there!] You're not as good as a Teletubbie, a scout. 】

Irena: "I take off my pants and don't fart, eh, it's just fun.] (funny)]

Ye Ao Nai I: [Spicy chicken, less than a hundred blame you for a hammer! ] Can't kite it? Kill one at a time, and don't you kill it all after repeating it a few times? Phew, what am I talking about, this game doesn't exist at all! 】

The good name is given to the dog: [Move! Cuisine! 】

Siss: [I can't hammer a monster with a special class, it's too embarrassing!] Why don't you let me play! 】

Picking up trash Level 99: [??? Why don't you show me how to move? Grass! Even the mobs will outflank tactically, shoot alternately, and release dogs, can you believe it?! 】

Quit smoking: [I want to!] You give me the number, and I'll show you off. 】

Picking up garbage Level 99: [I'm a tender stack!] 】

The post is completely crooked, and it has become a lizard dude's tongue war, just like the time when the crow and the players were on the line.

However, no matter how he described the situation at that time, it couldn't change the fact that he was labeled as a dish in the hearts of cloud players.

Perhaps, only when the photo function is released in the future can he be justified.

Chu Guang was well aware of the combat effectiveness of those marauders.

These people may not be very well equipped, their physical fitness is not very good, and their poor discipline is like a goblin in a fantasy world, but their talent for street fighting is almost full.

After all, since the first year of the Wasteland Era, these people have not stopped fighting, and the genes of plunder have long been integrated into their blood and bone marrow, and have been passed down for countless generations.

After revisiting the beautiful Mandarin in the garbage gentleman's post, Chu Guang closed the post and continued to wander around the forum.

It's been a while since players went offline, and a lot of high-quality content has started to emerge.

What surprised Chu Guang the most was that many new faces emerged from these high-quality contents, which he saw for the first time.

For example, there is an ID called "Canyon on the Run".

Chu Guang looked at his profile, he was a newcomer to the game in version Alpha0.2.

Judging from the historical statements, he found the official website of Wasteland OL through a link shared by a friend because of an urban legend circulating in the single-player game circle.

In a word, he is also a guy who is more idle at night.

Mole Express: A hardcore look at the new release! Cloud players and budding newcomers please take a detour! 》

"Hello everyone, I'm your big-nosed mole, after going online today, I found that the game was overhauled, and the production team finally cashed in a small piece of the pie he drawn, I really love the new version! All right! ”

"Let's talk about the conclusion first: I will blow up the newly designed economic system this time! Although there are only a few simple supply chains at the moment, some details are enough to get a glimpse of the ambitions of the production team! They are indeed playing a big game! ”

"But I won't blow the rainbow fart here, just a brief talk about my findings, which may bring you some help!"

[At present, there are 2 recognized ways to make money with low thresholds and high returns in the game, one is to burn cement, and the other is to hunt. The former has a stable income and can be operated by a single person, but it needs to be grabbed because there are not many people every day. The latter has an unstable income, has equipment needs, and is almost impossible to brush alone, so if you want to take the hunter route, it is best to form a team with a perception system! 】

"There is no technical content in burning cement, only about hunter gameplay here!"

"Isn't it amazing that a 30-kilogram mutant hyena can be sold directly to the granary for 5 silver coins, and 12 kilograms of raw meat can be made out after some time being slaughtered, which is worth 40 silver coins in an instant?"

"Of course, it's just about value! Value! Highlight the point. ”

"The outpost's granaries do not accept raw meat, only unprocessed game and air-dried meat that can be preserved directly. And like other games, there is a bid-ask spread in the NPC's shop, such as air-dried meat, it costs 5 silver coins to buy a kilogram, but if you recycle it, you will only give 1 silver coin for a kilogram, and the five-fold price difference is outrageous! ”

"If you make air-dried meat and sell it to NPCs, you can make more money, but if you buy raw meat from NPC's store and smoke it yourself, you will even lose money!"

"But it's actually okay, I've seen it in other games, it's nothing. Especially for online games, things bought with 1000 game coins can only be sold for 1 game currency. The clever thing about this game is that it uses the difference in the price of goods bought and sold in the NPC shop to encourage players to trade with each other instead of buying inventory from NPCs. ”

"Here's a small idea where a hunting squad can find one or two players to work together to slaughter their own prey and make it into air-dried meat and fur."

"A portion of air-dried meat can be sold to players at a price lower than that of the granary, cut ten portions per kilogram, and sell it for 1~9 silver coins depending on yourself and the wallets of other players. It doesn't matter if you can't sell it out, you can sell it to the granary before it gets dark and dispose of it, and you can make another profit. ”

"Wouldn't it be beautiful that this operation will take a little more time, but the theoretical income of a mutant hyena can at least double?"

"In addition, according to my research, running a business is also a way to play, but at present, it is difficult to operate and unprofitable. One kilogram of bacon from the NPC shop costs 5 credits, which can be exchanged for 5 kilograms of grain (theoretically) at Brown Farm. And the latter was transported back to the outpost, and it was only worth 5 silver coins! And that's the selling price of the NPC Shop! The closing price will be lower! Regardless of whether it is sold to NPCs or players, it is a blood loss. ”

Considering that the current expansion is titled "Winter is Coming", it is estimated that the focus of the production team will not be on the trading system. I'm really looking forward to the next release, where the team will focus on the trade system. ”

"An economic system without exports and only domestic sales is incomplete, wouldn't it be more interesting to balance the relationship between production and imports and exports through tariffs and prices? Please think about it! If the server CPU allows! ”

Chu Guang finished reading the post and liked it, but did not make any comments.

The idea is good, but it doesn't make much sense at this stage.

Keyboard economists often fall into the trap of idealistic that overly grand narratives don't help solve the problems at hand.

From the point of view of the planner and the player, the opinion of this rich game playability is really good.

But from the perspective of Vault 404 administrators, it's a different story.

For Chu Guang, everything in the shelter, even the players' bodies, was his, so why did he let them take their own things and trade with their neighbors?

Unless they can do better than themselves.

But this is obviously impossible.

Even Chu Guang himself is often squeezed out and suspicious by some of the waste pickers on Bette Street because of his accent, and because he doesn't understand the market and rules, even if he has no experience in sales in his previous life, he can't use it at all.

This is the wasteland.

A dystopian ensemble of scum and villains.

Ship-selling scum and crooks selling bad financial derivatives are better mixed than bankers or economists who follow the rules.

Let the players do business with these rich people, not to mention whether they can play 1% of their eloquence normally, even if they do?

It's better to bring more guns over.

Chu Guang suddenly understood the old leech on Bate Street - oh no, the old mayor.

This guy is really not a good thing, and he is ugly enough to eat, and the exploitation is only for pleasure, and he has no long-term plan for the future of Bate Street.

But if the scavengers are allowed to trade with the merchants on their own, the poor people will only be squeezed even worse.

It's not just a matter of ignorance.

Only a naïve enough person would think that a merchant from Boulder City would be more merciful than a rich man in the countryside on the outskirts.

It's like comparing bats and leeches, which one is better at sucking.

"There is no point in encouraging players to trade with indigenous forces, and every large trade involving exports must be regulated. For example, set up a fixed caravan, plan routes and trading varieties, list commodity prices, and the player is responsible for transportation as an escort, and the NPC is responsible for handover, and the return is 55 or 37...... This will also take care of less hardcore players and simplify the transaction process. ”

"But tariffs are a good idea, and this can be credited! In the future, according to actual needs, it is appropriate to consider allowing outside NPCs to directly participate in the player's market...... The premise is to barter, or to use the currency of the Vault. ”

And under supervision.

"Free trade?"

"Huh."

"When I need you to fight, I'll tell you who you trade with freely."

In addition to the strategy post posted by the "Canyon Fugitive Mole", there are also civil engineering dogs to exchange tips for building houses, and metallurgical engineering dogs discuss how to use limited materials to make steel efficiently.

Some people chatted and threw the link to N station A island, changed places to continue chatting, and finally unexpectedly attracted a lot of new traffic to the website.

The urban legend of "fully immersive virtual reality online games" is showing signs of expansion. Although the vast majority of people take it as a mouthful, there are also a small number of people who take it seriously and click the reservation button with a half-joking mentality.

The number of appointments is steadily increasing.

It's just that to Chu Guang's surprise, the most popular and "most knowledgeable" person in the future, didn't share his game experience on the forum this time.

The sun is really coming out of the west.

While Chu Guang was strolling around the forum, the Cow and Horse Club group was also lively.

Although Brother Guang hasn't been bubbling these days, the topics in the group basically revolve around the wasteland OL.

At least in the morning.

Lao Bai: "Fang Chang, did you read a post on the official website?" It's the one written by the big-nosed mole. ”

Tempest: "People call the canyon mole on the run." ”

Lao Bai: "It's not important! ”

Fang Chang: "See, the method proposed in that post is a bit interesting, but it doesn't mean much." ”

Lao Bai: "Huh? I feel okay! Sell a prey directly to an NPC to earn 5 silver, find someone to slaughter and dry a dragon, and the value will at least double the value. ”

Fang Chang: "Hehe, theory is theory, but he ignores the existence of contribution points. ”

Night Ten: "What do you mean?" ”

Fang Chang: "You can understand citizenship as a Shenzhen hukou, and the contribution point is settlement points. ”

Tempest: "Absolutely, your metaphor is a bit ......"

Fang Chang: "One meaning. Now among all the players, except for a few of us who have upgraded the citizens, it is estimated that the mosquitoes who do carpentry and the vines who make clothes can barely make up 2000 points. In other words, except for these six people, everyone else needs to contribute and become citizens, followed by making money. ”

Only when you are a citizen can you buy land.

Even a fool can see that the sooner you buy a lot, the better.

Fang Chang: "After thinking about this problem clearly, let's analyze the others." Which of these six people do you think is more suitable to be a butcher? Do you have any experience in slaughtering? ”

Lao Bai: "Well, that's really a problem. ”

Night Ten: "No, I just want to ask, is it difficult to slaughter?" ”

Tempest: "...... Anyone who has ever been to the supermarket to buy groceries can't ask such a question. ”

Fang Chang: "Night Ten is still in school, and I don't have any normal life experience." Just talking about the method mentioned in the strategy post, it is not feasible at the moment. We need to find another salesman, a butcher, six people to share the profits, not necessarily to make more. ”

"Actually, I have already calculated this account, but I just didn't say it. When that scrambled egg with tomatoes reaches the level of citizens, we can try to talk to him about cooperation, although I don't think we need to get our hopes up. ”

Night Ten: "Why?" ”

Fang Chang: "You are stupid, why do people cooperate with us?" Wouldn't it be nice to save enough money to buy a piece of land, open a restaurant by yourself, and take over the slaughtering business by the way? ”

Lao Bai: "! If you say that, if you know how to slaughter and cook! It's a lot of money in this game! ”

Fang Chang: "I can only say that it is at this stage, and it may not be necessary to wait." ”

Fang Chang: "Our first priority is to level up, and then to increase proficiency. In any open-ended game, it is relatively easy to make money in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages, the first echelon will always be those who are really strong! ”

Tempest: "Hey, you've figured out the game...... I've never been able to figure out why you don't want to be a pro gamer. ”

Fang Chang: "I didn't have a chance before, but now, hehe, I feel like the opportunity has come." ”

Picking up garbage level 99: "Big guy!" Please take my knees! ”

WC really has mosquitoes: "Take me one too!" ”

Fang Chang: "Yes, haha!" We are all a group, and the guild will be called the Cow and Horse Club in the future! ”

Lao Bai: "Ahem, why don't you change your name?" ”

Night Ten: "What's the change, what a nice name." (Funny)"

Fang Chang: "It doesn't matter if you change your name or not. But let me say it, mosquitoes, your contribution should be almost enough, but the garbage gentleman has been in the jungle for the past few days, and it is estimated that it is still a little worse. Your first priority now is to become a citizen, and then save money when you become a citizen! Let's put together a group at that time, build the house directly in front of the resurrection point, make shops along the street on the first floor, and make partitions on the second and third floors for a large standard room, isn't it beautiful? ”

Lao Bai: "In the future, it will be our guild stronghold!" (excited)"

WC really has mosquitoes: "Brother steady!" ”

Picking up trash level 99: "6666!" ”

Quit smoking: "Grass! I really want to play!! T.T”
