Chapter 213 Has the price increased? It's a closed test, just get used to it!

  呲——

  The hatch opens.

   climbed out of the training cabin, [Construction Boy and Brick] raised his head to the ceiling, and groaned as if he had been reborn.

   "Mom!"

   "I can be considered alive!"

   Three days!

   Not online for three days!

   Only he knows how he survived these three days.

The first thing after    came out, of course, was to take a bath to get rid of bad luck.

   He put on his clothes numbly, picked up the VM that was placed on the cabin head and put it on. [Construction Boy and Brick] rushed into the bathroom at the speed of light, and came out refreshed after a while.

   However, when he saw the water bill, his happy mood instantly changed to MMP.

   "Hey! I only washed it for ten minutes, how come it's only 1 silver coin!?"

   He clearly remembered that he was stuck and stepped out in the last second of 9 minutes and 59 seconds!

   At this moment, a large lizard emerged from the shower room next door.

   Junk Jun glanced at him and laughed.

   "Brother, how long have you been online?"

   The construction site boy and Brick glanced at him.

   "Three days! What happened?"

   "Three days, no wonder you didn't know that the price of the bathing fee went up yesterday. Now it is 1 silver coin every 10 minutes, and 2 silver per minute starting from the 30th minute."

   The construction site boy and Brick were instantly shocked when they heard it.

   "1 silver coin for 10 minutes?! Why don't you grab it!"

   Junk Jun seemed to have expected this reaction, and said calmly.

   "Calm down, although the bath water is expensive, the mission income has also increased in the past two days. Now I can do the tunnel cleaning mission once a day, and 40 gnaws will have 50 silver!"

  The construction site boy and the brick looked at him with an expression of disbelief.

   "50 silver?! Are you kidding me?"

   Junk Jun laughed.

   "What are you doing? If you are short of money, brother will take you down the tunnel. There are a lot of monsters inside, and there are so many monsters in it. It's fun to kill them!"

  Inflation.

   Good thing!

   You don’t need to wash every day for a bath, but tasks are done every day!

   Not only adjusts the task revenue, but also the type and number of tasks.

   Before, his tunnel income for the next day was just over 50 silver, but now he has directly pulled it to 100+, which has doubled!

   And it's not just him who has risen in income, even the newcomers have enjoyed a wave of rising income.

   Now do the task of "Choring the Corpse", and lift the gnaw to the recycling point next to the active substance extractor. The original 10 can only earn 1 silver coin, but now it has become 5 1 silver.

  Many cute new people follow the team to do this job to deliver express delivery. If they are lucky, they can even earn 20 silver a day.

   This is much more comfortable than earning ten silver coins in a hard day!

   After checking the task bar through the VM, the construction site boy and Brick finally understood the meaning of what Brother Garbage said.

The    task income has indeed risen a lot.

  The original task with the lowest reward was the settlement of copper coins, but now the copper coins seem to have disappeared in the task bar. Even the errand task with the lowest income will be rewarded with more than 1 silver coin. If it is an errand task that crosses the settlement of survivors, the reward is 5 silver coins to start.

   If you look at it this way...

  It is not too outrageous that the water bill has risen a little?

   "I haven't been online for three days... Why do I feel like I've been an OB for three months." Putting down the VM, the construction site boy and Brick sighed with emotion.

   Brother trash patted this guy on the shoulder.

   "The beta test, it's normal, just get used to it!"

"I remember yesterday, Brother Mole also made a special post to analyze that the income of this mission will be adjusted. In fact, the omens are very obvious. The second-generation currency system has only been revised for silver coins, and copper coins are not mentioned at all. The operator is 80% intending to reduce the market. It's a currency in circulation, so I just ditched the copper coins!"

  【The Construction Site Teenager and the Brick】I was stunned when I heard it.

   After a long time, he asked.

   "A good thing or a bad thing."

   Junkman shook his head.

   "I don't know, I have mixed feelings. The money in the account must be uncomfortable for a while, but relatively, from now on, the equipment will be easier to get, which is definitely a good thing for most players."

   "Especially for 7mm bullets, the price has not increased. It's still 1 silver coin! I see a lot of people who used to be reluctant to open bursts with full automatics, but now they can occasionally be extravagant."

   However, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with him.

   He can't operate a normal rifle at all, and it is impossible for a weapon store to design an exclusive weapon for him.

   At present, among the Xenogeneic sequences that have been opened, only the Rat Man does not have the debuff of [Callus and Calluses].

   It didn't take long for the good brothers, who were paddling on the edge, in debt and big-eyed, to live one after another and walked out of their respective rooms.

   As soon as he saw Brother Shui coming out of the room, Big Eye immediately walked up with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

   "Brother Shui, where are we going to send people's heads today?"

   The edge of the water rolled and rolled his eyes.

   "Go away, it's so unlucky, you have to send the head to yourself, I have to grow up for a few days! Damn, next time I won't be so reckless, I'm about to split on the forum."

   Debt and big eyes laughed.

   "I understand you, I will dare next time!"

   Edge stroke: "Rolling."

  Although I haven’t played the game for the past three days, the edge paddle has been hanging on the forum to keep abreast of the latest progress of the game.

  Because of the heroic battles of his team and his team, the vanguard of the Bonechew Tribe has been forced to evacuate from Qingquan City.

   In the past three days, there have been strong winds and heavy snowfall every day, and the snow in many places has even piled up from the knees to the roots of the thighs, which can bury half of a person in it.

  Due to the thick snow on the road, the transportation route from Changchang Farm to and from Yumu District was stopped, and the operation of the industrial area and the route from the outpost to Changchang Farm could only be barely maintained.

  It is foreseeable that until the spring of next year, the people of the bone-chewing tribe should not continue to march south.

   "By the way, who knows where to get the medal?"

   Swipe on the edge to open the VM and take a look, and found a message in the personal mailbox.

   "I read on the VM that it was issued by the manager in the manager's office..."

   is just halfway through.

   An announcement popped up on the VM.

   [Announcement on the entire server: The war between Vault 404 and the Marauders has entered a fierce battle. In order to ensure the supply of wartime materials, the "Wartime Management Regulations" is now activated to control some daily necessities. The situation is severe, and I hope everyone can overcome it together. 】

  【Duration: 60 days. 】

   Everyone was stunned for a moment, and unexpected expressions appeared on their faces.

This is……

  Are you going to release a new expansion pack? ?

  …

  Article 1 of the "Wartime Management Regulations", green wheat and croissants are listed as controlled varieties, and individual purchases are suspended, and the warehouses are uniformly rationed.

  Article 2, the benchmark prices of staple grains such as corn, wheat, rice, and flour will be increased by 200%, and the benchmark prices of by-products such as cabbage and cabbage will be increased by 150%.

  Article 3: Survivor settlements and temporary shelters under the direct jurisdiction of the shelters will provide residents with the necessary nutrition for survival, and each person can receive two servings per day.

  Article 4, residents who receive relief food are obliged to participate in labor. Including but not limited to engaging in production work, building shelters, and responding to mobilizations when necessary.

  Article 5,…

   There are eighteen articles of wartime management regulations, one third of which are mainly related to players, and the rest are mainly for refugees.

   includes arranging for them to build houses, make fuel, and work in factories.

   They can eat enough and have fuel for heating, and the refugees are fairly stable.

   On the players side, the impact is even smaller.

   Many players even regard "Wartime Regulations" as the third expansion piece in the game - as a continuation of the first expansion piece "Winter is Coming" in Wasteland OL.

   Forum.

   Gossip discussion area.

Just after the peak period of    offline, the topic of "Wartime Regulations" became lively.

  Ye Shi: "Is there any class representative coming out to interpret it? What is Aguang planning? (funny

  Irena: "I'll help you on behalf of Aite Class @来日方长@ CanyonRunning Mole. (Funny

  The fugitive mole in the canyon: "What's the use of Aite, Aite Aguang. (Squint

Fang Chang: "emmm... At present, the answer of the version should be professional life players, but the worst offenders are life professional players. If anyone can figure out who can feed the most with the least amount of food, it is estimated that they will get the version. The favor, I guess."

  Tomato scrambled eggs: "Why don't we fry noodles, if you don't pay attention to taste, that thing can be full, and the ingredients are simple."

  Leave people under the knife: "It can cure the symptoms but not the root cause. What is lacking is what to eat, not how to eat. I feel that we should develop more ingredients!"

  Old Bai: "For example?"

  Irena: "How is Xiaoqiang? (funny

  The Elf King Fugui: "Fuck, you have such a strong taste! (horrified

  Lao Bai: "+1, even in the game, I will never eat that stuff!"

  Roller Shampoo: "Where's the mouse? Sanzhier is famous among us. (funny

   The strong man is difficult: "Trembling."

  Tail: "How about we eat the meat! (｀ω

  Roshan Da Momo: "Don't! Although my genetic sequence is a xenogeneic, I'm human too! (horrified

   Kill the chicken at midnight: "Bear's paw! (﹃*

  Roshan Da Momo: "QAQ"

  …

   Near the new industrial area.

   In front of an abandoned department store.

   Untreated logs are piled up in the open space in the shape of a pyramid, and the refugees are constantly walking through the piles, busy with their work.

   Some people took axe and chopped large logs into small firewood. Others sawed them into planks and carried them into abandoned department stores to repair broken walls and seal leaking windows and doors.

   The ventilation in the underground garage was worse than expected. After they came here, they realized that there were not so many people in it at all. The refugees who were transferred here can only temporarily live on the first floor of the department store.

   Fortunately, the people at the shelter sent them a batch of wood and some bricks for the stove in time by truck.

  Thanks to the wood and bricks, it really helped them!

  Through brick stoves and smoke vents, they were able to remove the burning smoke from the building without having to risk poisoning and fire by placing burning charcoal next to the bed.

   As the broken walls and windows are sealed, the rate of fuel consumption has also dropped quite a bit.

  The chef set up a big pot at the door, and porridge was boiled in the pot.

  Although the smell of grass permeated the surroundings, the tumbling bubbles still made the survivors with red noses to some extent, igniting a glimmer of hope for the future life.

   The manager in blue armor didn't break his promise.

   Those blue jackets didn't abandon them.

   Life here is not ideal, but at least it can survive.

   As long as you can survive, there is hope!

  …

   Up to now, it has lasted three days in total.

The survivors of the five survivor strongholds, including Chaowei Battery Factory, Dongliu Camp, and Highway Town, have all been transferred.

  The outermost periphery of the northern suburbs of Qingquan City has formed a vacuum zone. Next time those looters come again, I am afraid they can only find some useless garbage nearby.

  The plan for clearing the wall and clearing the field has taken shape!

   However, due to the blizzard in the past few days and the shortage of food, fuel and other supplies, the relocation plan of the second and third batches had to be suspended.

  Chu Guang made a promise to the remaining seven survivor settlements.

   If they are attacked, reinforcements from the shelter will arrive within half an hour, they only need to hold on for half an hour, and the rest can be handed over to the soldiers in the shelter.

   But to be honest, this kind of ghost weather is less likely to be attacked than freezing to death.

   Even on the ten-kilometer-long road from the outpost to Changchang Farm, the road surface has been repaired and there are no obvious potholes. Trucks passing by here occasionally break down once or twice, not to mention marching in the wilderness.

   With the pitted road conditions on the wasteland, I was afraid that the large army would have to be trapped in the snow and wait to die if they couldn’t walk a few kilometers.

   What's more, the Bone Chew Tribe is located further north, and the situation facing them at the moment will not be easier than them. The temperature in the northern suburbs is far more than minus ten degrees, maybe twenty or thirty degrees.

   Even if they eat people.

   also have to cook the meat...

   This year's cold winter is not only stronger than previous years, it can only be described as tragic.

  Chu Guang went to Bate Street before, and while inspecting the situation there, he chatted with old Charlie for a while.

   Old Charlie said at the time that he had been living here for some years.

   And a situation as bad as this year has only appeared twice in his memory...

  …

   The second day after the implementation of the Wartime Regulations.

  The sudden shortage of food supply made life a little worse than before, but it did not have an unbearable impact on the player's gaming experience.

  The restricted purchases are mainly green wheat and croissants, while rice, potatoes, wheat, corn and various flours are not included in the purchase restriction.

   And with the income of the players, the latter can be consumed.

   However, the doubling of the benchmark price still puts a lot of pressure on many professional life players who set up stalls.

   The market at the north gate.

   It's time for dinner.

   The players sitting in front of the Zhanghai Ramen stall shouted.

   "Boss Zhang, why has the price of your noodles gone up again?"

   "That's right! It's fine if the meat is cut thinner than paper, how about plain noodles are only 2 silver coins per bowl!"

   "Twice the price! Too much!"

   Annoyed by the shouting, Zhang Hai tapped the large pot for cooking noodles with a spoon and said impatiently.

   "What's the noise, go ask the flour seller in the warehouse! One kilogram of cornmeal sells for 5 silver coins! Is it too much for me to charge you 2 silver coins for 2 sides? Huh?"

   rebid.

   Tomorrow we will sell three silver coins!

   However, what Zhang Hai didn't expect was that the diners sitting in front of the booth didn't buy it and continued to shout.

   "Hey! I'm just saying why there are so few of these, it turns out that it's only a couple of taels!"

   "Can't say it's too much, it's too much!"

   "Where's the Market Supervision Bureau? I want to call the police, here is a black-hearted businessman cutting corners!"

   Zhang Hai: "@#%!"

  Mama's skin!

  I will sell a bowl of three silver coins tomorrow!

   It’s not just ramen noodles that have gone up in price, but barbecues and steamed buns have also gone up.

  Only at this time can players miss the mushrooms of the crow boss.

  The mushroom soup with a silver coin and a bowl is simply a touch of hope in the cold winter.

   I thought it was expensive before, but now I think it’s really cheap.

   Waiting for the spring of next year, Mushroom Beach will resume business, I hope Boss Crow can keep some good memories for them, but don't increase the price...

   Walking in the market at the north gate, Chu Guang listened to the voices of the players while thinking about what to eat tonight.

   Observing public sentiment is also part of the manager's work.

   After all, if you only look at one report, it is easy to fall into the misunderstanding of "map strategists".

   In general, the impact of this round of price increases can be considered controllable, and the effect can be regarded as meeting Chu Guang's expectations.

  The average daily income of players will increase by 50%~100%, the prices of food, clothes and daily necessities will increase by 100%~150%, and the prices of industrial products such as weapons and bullets will remain unchanged, which is equivalent to a price reduction.

   In one sentence, professional players in life are not weakened, but professional players in battle are epicly strengthened!

   At present, the only thing that has not increased in price in the entire market is the milk sold by nomads and some jerky made from prey.

  The herders of the Frostspear tribe brought the craft of making dried meat from afar, and the dried meat has a unique flavor. Because it is easy to carry and cheap, it is very popular with some players who need to play in the jungle. Although the taste is slightly inferior, it is very cost-effective as dry food.

   After all, Qingmai is now a "controlled product", and Qingmai cakes have disappeared from the market.

  Can't eat cakes, and the little players can only use jerky as dry food.

   Walking beside Chu Guang, Xia Yan whispered something.

   "Is it my illusion? Why do I feel that my salary is getting more and more unspent?"

  Today this dinner actually cost her 7 silver coins!

   This is the first time, she has a sense of crisis that the salary is not enough.

  Chu Guang didn't feel much, and replied in a relaxed tone.

   "Looking at it from another angle, players buy more guns from you, and your performance will also increase. Soon you will find that your salary has more than doubled than before."

  Xia Yan: "But a gun can be used for a long time, right? It's impossible for your players to buy guns every day."

  Chu Guang said patiently.

"You can't think like that, you have to buy bullets when you buy a gun, right? How many accessories do you have to add to a gun? Sights, body armor, helmets, frag grenades, more durable backpacks, bandages, etc... These are all It costs money."

   In the past, the productivity of the Refuge was insufficient, so Chu Guang had to be cautious when setting quest rewards to avoid overflowing the player's deposit data.

   Now, the productivity of the shelter has reached a new stage. Chuguang needs players to consume and buy the weapons and armor produced by the factory, so that the factory can expand production and further reduce the cost.

   If this goes on and on, a virtuous circle of supply and demand balance will be formed.

   Looking at Xia Yan with a confused face, Chu Guang smiled lightly.

   "Don't even think about it, these things are too difficult for you."

  Xia Yan glanced at Chu Guang and said with awareness.

   "How do I feel like you're laughing at me."

  Chu Guang of course would not admit it and replied casually.

   "I never said that."

   After strolling around the market, Chu Guang finally bought three meat buns, and by the way, he went to Qiu Cao Qiu Ye sister's stall to buy two bottles of milk for today's dinner.

  The weather is too cold to have no appetite.

   Besides, everyone is frugal, and as a manager, he is not very good at extravagance.

   walked towards the sanatorium.

   As soon as Chu Guang walked to the door, he saw Yin Fangzheng coming out of the elevator.

   He was holding a small metal gadget in his hand. It looked about the size of a basketball, with a square head and a square brain. It was shaped like a small octopus, and there were 4 mechanical legs under the chassis.

   took a bite of the bun, and Chu Guang looked at him curiously and asked.

   "What are you holding in your hand?"

   Seeing Chu Guang, Yin Fang's eyes lit up and said excitedly.

"A quadruped robot based on neural connection technology! Remember the black box you picked up from Vault 117 earlier? Based on the neural connection device it generated, I modified it a little with a VM and some other parts, and there was This thing. Isn't it awesome? I made it myself!"

  What the hell?

Is    so strong?

   He didn't even bother to eat dinner, Chu Guang looked at the thing in his hand and immediately asked.

   "How does this thing work??"

   "It's easy! Just put on the idiosyncratic connected device...just in time for me to test it out!"

   Said, Yin Fang took out a thumb-sized wireless earphone from his pocket, threw it in Chu Guang's hand, and said with a bright face.

   "You'll know when you put it on and try it on!"

   (Two updates will be resumed tomorrow!)
