Chapter 287 You are already a mature little player, it’s time to learn to guard the crystal by yourself

  To Fang Chang's surprise, he guessed the ending right, but not the beginning.

   The two versions were not used at all. The Beta 0.1 version had just been launched, and the hibernation pod was on the shelves of the NPC store.

  As long as the contribution level reaches "intermediate citizen", you can make an appointment to purchase in VM, and it supports door-to-door delivery service.

Yes.

  If you want to buy a dormant cabin, you must first have a piece of land.

  Since the land in the recovery area is collectively owned by the New Alliance, it is obviously not feasible to randomly find a piece of land to enclose and claim it as its own.

  However, this is very easy for intermediate citizens. Most players will buy a 50 square meter piece of land after reaching intermediate citizens and run their own small home or shop.

  Some life professional players who have registered business units can also place their dormant cabins on commercial or industrial land.

  There is still a lot of room for choice.

   It took less than half an hour for the announcement of the new version to be released, and soon someone discovered the change, and some players in the plaza began to make a fuss.

   "The dormant cabin... what the hell! Two thousand silver coins!?"

   "It's equivalent to a miner I-type exoskeleton!"

   "The contribution level of ordering needs has reached a medium citizen... Hey, 10,000 contribution points! Slip it, I'd better use the public save point."

   "Oh my god... how long will it take to save?"

   "If there are no server activities or faction battles, the average daily income of LV10 under normal gameplay can reach 100 silver, although some people can earn 200, 300+...but those are big guys."

   "Don't panic, the liver will be finished!"

  2000 silver coins may sound like a lot, but for players who have really reached LV10, it is actually not unacceptable.

  With the establishment of the Hunter Union, the proportion of mission income in the total income of players has gradually dropped from the initial 90% to 66%.

  Many commissions issued by non-core NPCs for hunting aliens or sweeping buildings can even reach a one-time income of 1000+.

  These NPCs are usually production units such as Didiwei Food Processing Factory, Lister Factory, and Bucky Factory, and some are farmers in the farm or foreign merchants.

  However, compared to the former, the latter has limited economic strength and does not give many silver coins. It mainly gives regional prestige or rewards in kind.

  The meaning of the hunter union is probably to review the entrusted content and prizes, and release them to the players in a centralized manner. This is far more efficient than players harassing NPCs one by one with crappy human language.

   After announcing the start of the celebration, Chu Guang did not go downstairs immediately, but stood by the window on the third floor like an NPC, looking at the players downstairs with a smile on his face.

  Xiao Qi, who was following beside his calf, quietly raised the camera.

"Owner."

   Chu Guang, who was in a good mood, smiled.

"What's wrong?"

  Xiao Qi whispered.

  “I heard many players complain that the hibernation pod is too expensive.”

  Chu Guang said calmly.

   "Normal, expensive is right."

  There are only two black boxes for the production of dormant cabins, and the maximum daily production capacity is 40~48. It is impossible for everyone to have their own dormant cabins.

  The first thing he needs to ensure is the collective interest, that is, the public archive point can obtain enough dormancy pods, so that most players, especially newcomers, can archive normally.

  As for the dormant pods sold, the proceeds generated can be used to subsidize the production of the training pods and recruit more new players.

  In fact, not only the dormant cabin, but even the training cabin as a resurrection point, he also hangs in the NPC store.

   It's just that the training cabin is different from the dormant cabin. As a tool for synthesizing clones, each game account can only hold one.

  So the so-called purchase is not to buy a new one for the player, but to allow the player to take his training cabin out of the shelter.

   At the same time, the training cabin is equivalent to the "base crystal" in the MOBA game. Once it is destroyed, no matter how strong the game character is, it will have to stop.

   Whether to bring the spawn point out of the safe zone.

   The choice is yours!

  Looking at the selling price of the training cabin in the VM, the fleeing mole in the canyon gasped.

   "Ten thousand silver coins..."

  This is too exaggerated!

  It is equivalent to a light cavalry exoskeleton!

  Miner I can buy 5 units, or KV-1 can buy 12.5 units!

  Zhang Hai leaned over and glanced at Brother Mole's VM, then looked at his own, his eyes widened instantly: "Wait, why can't I see it on my VM?"

  Elf King Fugui scratched the back of his head: "I can also do it here, it seems that it will only be displayed when you are an intermediate citizen or above...Although you can only buy it when you are a senior citizen."

  Irena: "Isn't the key point 10,000 silver coins? Only ghosts will buy it... It's funny to do it manually."

  Zhang Hai didn't speak, and silently counted with his fingers.

   A bowl of ramen costs 6 silver coins, so he earns 4 silver coins, which means... 2500 bowls? !

   Damn it!

   Zhang Hai, who had settled the account, stared even wider.

   Why don't you rub the rolling pin on the bald skin!

  The mole on the run in the canyon touched his chin and analyzed.

"It's not just 10,000 silver coins, but also maintenance costs. The training cabin is different from the dormant cabin. It needs to be turned on 24 hours a day. The power in standby mode is 1KW, and the power in working status is 10KW... This electricity fee is supported in the shelter. No, but if you take the training cabin out of the shelter, I'm afraid you have to bear it yourself."

  The battery in the training cabin can only store electricity for seventy-two hours.

  Irena asked curiously: "What will happen if the power goes off?"

   "It's written on it, it will cause the character to go into a coma." The mole on the run in the canyon pointed to VM, thought for a while and said, "Actually, I can't say that fools only buy it. I think the meaning of this thing is more about moving."

  Zhang Hai was stunned: "Moving?"

   Mole nodded.

"Well, didn't the Beta0.1 version establish the trade union and corps system? In the future, the player's activity area will definitely not only be Qingquan City. With the expansion of the game content, new refuges and even recovery areas will definitely be unlocked. It is impossible to die You have to wait for three days at a time and have to walk hundreds of kilometers.”

   There is no map boundary setting in this game, but players basically cannot go too far. One is the language barrier outside the communication range, and the other is too far away from the resurrection point.

  Especially the latter, it is easy to put the pioneers in a dilemma.

  If you bring too good equipment, you may not be able to bring it back, and if you don’t bring it, you may not be able to go far.

   No matter how strong it is, it is impossible to be online 24 hours a day. There is no safe area for archiving. Once the helmet is removed and put on again, the resurrection CD will start directly. Wouldn't it be cracked on the spot!

   But if you can buy the resurrection point by yourself, there is no such problem. You only need 10,000 silver coins, and you can take the coffin board for resurrection with you.

expensive?

   Compared with the income from land reclamation, is 10,000 silver coins and a 10KW generator a big deal?

   Mole felt that he had already guessed the intention of the plan.

   If it is just for the convenience of archiving, there is no need to put a training cabin at home, it is enough to buy a dormant cabin as a bed.

   This training cabin worth 10,000 is mainly for those players who plan to go to new maps to open up wasteland, or even stay for a long time!

  Zhang Hai shook his head and left.

   "Hey! I can't afford to provoke you!"

   This ramen seems to be cheap.

  Elf King Fugui studied the VM for a while, and suddenly found the plate in Irena's hand, and took a curious look inside.

   "What good food are you eating?"

   Snail meat?

   It looks weird.

   I didn't expect that Lao Na would occasionally eat some normal food.

   "Would you like a bite?" Irena pricked one with a toothpick and handed it over generously.

  Elf King Fugui reached out to take it, picked it up with a toothpick, picked out the meat from the shell, and looked closely at it curiously.

  The milky white meat looks quite delicious, with some strange seasonings sprinkled on the surface, but it still smells weird.

   "The taste is a bit strange."

   After stuffing the snail meat into his mouth and chewing for a while, Brother Fugui frowned and thought for a moment, before giving a pertinent evaluation.

   "But it's okay."

  Irena showed a happy smile on her face.

   "That's necessary, brother can still trick you?"

  Elf Wang Fugui asked curiously: "By the way, what is this thing? It doesn't feel like the taste of snails."

  Irena gave a dry cough.

   "I didn't say it was a snail...don't care about these details."

  Elf King Fugui: "No, no, I think it is necessary to understand."

   "You really want to know?"

   "Hurry up, stop talking nonsense!"

  Seeing Brother Fugui's insistence, Irena smiled embarrassedly.

   "Strictly speaking, it should be considered a snail."

  Elf King Fugui: "???"

  …

  The celebration lasted until the second half of the night.

  The highlight of the whole celebration, in addition to the talent show, is the old traditional food competition!

This time not only players can participate in the competition, but also aboriginals can sign up for the competition, but compared to the imagination of the players, most of the aboriginals who have just had a full meal are here to make up the number, and those who muster up the courage to sign up Not many.

  The three champions of this year's food competition were announced. Among them, the "most popular food" was still the chef who knew the taste buds of the players best. Brother Chaodan won the crown.

  Boil 200g of black snake meat to remove the fishy smell, drain it, sprinkle with salt, pepper, minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, add half a liter of water and simmer for half an hour on low heat, and finally add 50g of chopped fenugreek to enhance the aroma.

  Same as the monster ribs before, Brother Scrambled Egg didn’t hide it. He generously disclosed the recipe and even published a tutorial on the official website.

  As for the most popular delicacy of the aborigines, it is still the finger biscuits made by Mr. Ya.

  She coated the flour with handmade butter and sugar, baked it into the shape of a bullet, and sprinkled chocolate bought from the manager on the bullet head.

  Although it was complained by many players that "It's too greasy, it's better than mushroom soup", but it is deeply loved by female NPCs such as Xiaoyu, Boss Xia, Qiucao and Qiuye sisters, and Budge, a heterogeneous NPC.

   Stuffing the biscuit from under the helmet into his mouth, there was a touching whining sound from under the tin can.

   "Only this time can I feel alive!"

   And when I get drunk!

   Without any hesitation, he gave a high score of 10 out of 10!

  Heya squinted at the "living specimen".

   "Have you ever considered that it's not you who want to eat sugar, but the slime molds that live on you want to eat it?"

  The happy whining came to an abrupt end.

  The silence of the tin can makes people feel distressed.

   Yin Fang, who was sitting by the side, couldn't stand it any longer, and sighed helplessly. .

   "Don't be like this...Brother Ba finally found a little feeling of being alive."

   "Am I the only one who thinks this is too sweet? It feels like the blood has become sticky..." Heya mumbled and shook her head, she only ate one piece and didn't touch the rest.

  She is probably the only one among all the NPCs who doesn't accept sweets, especially when carbohydrates are baked with fat and sprinkled with thick chocolate sauce.

  Chu Guang gave her a strange look.

   "Is that an exaggeration?"

   Heya said helplessly.

  “Maybe I’m more sensitive to sugar, but I still like foods with lower metabolic load, higher vitamin content, and healthier ingredients.”

  Chu Guang: "For example?"

  Heya: "Animal viscera."

  Chu Guang: "..."

  Cholesterol and protein do not need to be metabolized?

   How the **** is this healthy?

  Xiaoyu, who was sitting on the judges' seat, was looking longingly at the biscuit on Heya's table, but he didn't have the nerve to ask for it.

  Brother Chu told her to eat less sugar. I heard that it will affect her height. The sugar intake today has almost exceeded the standard, so she can’t eat any more.

  Xia Yan was not polite to He Ya, and after asking for permission, he happily exchanged plates with her, stuffing biscuits into his mouth with a happy face.

  She doesn't have that much psychological burden.

   Anyway, she doesn't gain weight by eating anything, and she has been used to it for so many years.

   As for the food that is most loved by managers, it is beyond the expectations of all players.

   It turned out to be just a simple bottle of sparkling water with some sugar added, and a "unique formula" that probably existed.

  Fat house happy water?

   What's so delicious about this thing!

  The aborigines were not too surprised. They were just curious about the magic power of the bottle of drink held by the manager, which could win the favor of the manager.

  I saw the manager wearing azure blue power armor standing in front of everyone, pointing to the glass bottle he had only taken a sip from and said.

   "Nuca-Cola!"

   "This is the best drink I've ever had!"

  Because there were NPCs besides the players, Chu Guang deliberately raised the volume and said it again in Renlian language.

   At this time, the players on the scene suddenly reacted.

   Good guy!

  The manager personally brought the goods? !

   But is this advertisement so hard?

   Mosquito has a remorseful expression on his face.

   "Sloppy! I should have thought that... such a cheap and happy thing would sell well in the wasteland!"

  At present, there is already a sugar factory in the industrial area. Through a series of simple processes such as boiling and drying the red beets imported from Brown Farm, white sugar can be precipitated, and the price is quite cheap.

   The cost of this bottle of soda is only 0.5 silver coins!

  If he were to sell this, at least he would earn 3 silver coins!

   Fengfeng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

   "By the way, who is the winner of this prize?"

   Several people in the herd of cattle and horses looked at each other.

"have no idea."

   "Go to the forum to ask in a while?"

   It seems that no one has heard the announcement that they intend to get out the happy water of the fat house in the wasteland, and no one jumped out to receive the award at the scene.

   Could it be an official easter egg?

   If it wasn't made by a certain player, then this is the only explanation.

  The celebration lasted until early in the morning. After collecting all the event points, the players returned to the refuge or the save point on the surface to go offline one after another.

   No matter how high you are in the game, your body in reality has to eat.

  As for the aborigines, they made plans to stay overnight.

  Until all the programs of the celebration were over, many people were still spontaneously celebrating this extraordinary day, and they left the venue one after another until the sky dawned.

  From now on, the new alliance is officially established!

  The first restoration area extends from Yuanxi Town in the north, the Fifth Ring Road of Qingquan City in the south, the edge of Yumu District in the west, and the former site of Gonglu Town in the east.

   Covering nearly a thousand square kilometers of land!

  At the same time, a brand new city-state is being built on this wild wasteland under the name of "Dawn". And just like its name, this rising sun is glowing with the light of dawn.

  The northern suburbs have never been so lively as it is today.

  The people living here have never been more excited and excited than today.

   "Let's toast the formation of the new alliance!"

   "Cheers to the great manager!"

"cheers!"

  In the northern area of ​​Dawn City, the people staying at Changjiu Farm also stayed up all night.

  In the road town hotel, there was a lot of voices, and the sound of clinking glasses and beer foam almost knocked the ceiling over.

   To celebrate this great day, Old Hook generously announced that beer is free for the whole evening and barbecue is 20% off.

   Until dawn!

  Only for in-house guests!

  Of course no one would be polite to him for such a good thing. The boss here has earned a lot of silver coins from these wastelanders.

  Many hotel guests even made a special trip back from the park after enjoying the excitement of the celebration, just for free beer.

  The merchants and mercenaries in a room, one or two were drunk, sleeping in the lobby on the first floor.

  So many people were drinking too much, the waiter in the store couldn't manage it at all, so he simply closed the door, leaving someone behind the counter to watch, and just let them sleep in the lobby until they woke up naturally.

   At noon the next day.

  Sun Shiqi shook his heavy iron head and got up from the table.

   I don’t know if it’s his own illusion, he always feels that today’s beer is easier to get drunk than before, and he can’t stand it after only going to the bathroom twice.

   "I bet...he mixed other things in the wine." Apparently he wasn't the only one who thought so, and the guests at the next table also muttered.

  Sun Shiqi took the bill from the waiter, glanced at it, and his face suddenly turned green.

   "Aren't drinks free?"

   The waiter said softly.

   "Yes sir, but you ate 6 skewers of charcoal-grilled squirrel meat and 12 skewers of double-headed beef...and a piece of monster ribs yesterday."

  Sun Shiqi squinted his eyes and carefully read the small print on the back of the bill, and then slowly came back to his senses.

   These dishes were indeed ordered by him.

   Especially the monster ribs at the back, he has never heard that monster meat can be eaten.

   But what he didn't expect was that a piece of this thing actually cost 30 silver coins! According to the current exchange rate, it would cost 15 chips!

   This is money grabbing!

   He has never eaten such expensive food!

  But maybe because of the small fortune he made in the last transaction, his mentality has undergone a slight change, and he is not as painful as before.

   It's been hard enough.

  When he first started doing business, in order to save money, he lived entirely on nutrient cream, and even the mercenary he hired ate better than him.

   Now I finally have money.

   It's time to treat yourself better.

   "Charge it to my account."

  The waiter had a happy smile on his face.

   "Okay, please sign sir."

  Sun Shiqi picked up a pen and signed his name on it, and threw him a silver coin as a tip.

  Amid the thanks and blessings from the waiter, Sun Shiqi, who squinted his eyes, walked out of the hotel with his head held high against the bright sunshine.

  The day of picking up the goods was pushed back and forth again and again, and finally it was the day of handover.

  The trading station compensated him for the right to use 100 square meters of storage, which is located in the storage area next to the trading station, for two months.

  Sun Shiqi is quite satisfied with the compensation.

   These people are still very reasonable, at least more reasonable than the factory in Boulder City, and the factory in Boulder City will not give any compensation if they fail to deliver the goods in case of an accident.

  No one can do anything about the wave.

   Understandable.

  Looking at the young man in front of him who was going through the delivery procedures with him, Sun Shiqi asked curiously.

   "How did the booth change today?"

   "Shuanghe is closed today. We have one day off every week. We can discuss and decide which day to rest." The boy said with a smile.

   "Well, wish her a happy holiday for me, I really envy you, we are open all year round." Sun Shiqi flattered casually, and suddenly noticed the construction outside the trading station.

   A group of ragged people are under the surveillance of the guards. Two groups of people are holding heavy steel and laying it on the wood, and they are beating around the side.

   Those people should be prisoners of war.

  Sun Shiqi clicked his tongue and asked casually.

   "What's going on there?"

  The boy glanced over there and said with a smile.

   "You said there, it seems to be called a railway! It was repaired here from the industrial area recently, and I heard that it is used to transport goods."

  Railway? !

  Sun Shiqi had an unexpected expression on his face.

There are quite a few old vehicles on the waste soil, and steel bars and steel beams are also very common, but those rusty steel scraps obviously cannot be recycled directly. They must first be thrown into the furnace for remelting, and then go through a series of processes. Turn them into something useful.

   This doesn't sound difficult, but in fact, the test is the overall industrial capacity of a survivor settlement.

  If he remembers correctly, a kilometer-long railway requires at least a hundred tons of steel.

  Is it said that the steel production of these people is rich enough to be used to build railways?

   He didn't even notice these days!

  The young man in front of him felt that he was making a fuss. As early as when the industrial area was just relocated, the steel factory was producing those tracks.

  Although he still doesn't know the use of that thing until now, he believes that the manager's decision is definitely not wrong.

   "You all picked up so much steel from the ruins?"

   "Half and half, like over there."

  The young man pointed to a stall not far away, and saw more than 20 two-headed cows crowded in front of the stall. Facing the staff's sales promotion, the person in charge of the caravan was obviously lost in thought, obviously already moved.

"An electric mule only costs 50,000 silver coins, and now there is a 10% discount. With more advanced and more useful means of transportation, you can travel between Honghe Town and Shuguang City faster. The demand for steel is very strong now, don't you really think about it?" ?”

  Sun Shiqi didn't speak, he noticed the brand imprinted on the back of the two-headed ox, and a trace of vigilance gradually appeared in his eyes.

   Horseshoe Chamber of Commerce!

  He recognized the sign.

  One-third of the iron mines and one-fifth of the slave business in Honghe Town are in their hands. Although they don't have their own iron mines, they have a good relationship with many slave owners because they can provide a stable "labor force", and their salesmen are spread all over the southern part of the valley province.

  Thinking of this, Sun Shiqi was still somewhat relaxed, but suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

   It has been nearly a month and a half since the commercial roads resumed, and he is obviously not the only one who is eyeing this piece of fat in the northern suburbs.

   More and more people will come here to do business in the future!

  He must hurry up!

  …

  Counting the next day's holiday, the celebration lasted for two full days.

  According to the report compiled by Xiao Qi, the total cost of this celebration reached 61,231 silver coins. In addition to the consumption of food and drinks, it also includes the benefits of lottery draws for players.

  In addition, because some of the prizes were drawn by Chu Guang with his own points, they were not counted in the total cost.

  However, it would be a big mistake to think that he will lose money.

  Although these more than 60,000 silver coins were spent, they were also spent on players and NPCs, and both players and NPCs belonged to him, so those silver coins were just a different form to accompany him.

  In addition to the last sentence of the advertisement, the merchants who came to inquire about "Nucle-Cola" sparkling water after the celebration almost broke the warehouse door.

  The only twenty boxes in stock were sold out.

   After tasting a bottle, many people paid the deposit without saying anything. In just one morning, the order was placed one month later!

   As for who came up with such a genius idea?

   Of course it was Chu Guang himself.

  He made self-made sparkling water a long time ago, but recently he was troubled by the budget problem, so he thought that this thing can be used to export to earn foreign exchange.

  Currently, this product is produced by the "nuclear" soda factory solely owned by the shelter. If he hadn't thought of a certain arrogant riddler, Chu Guang couldn't help but praise himself as a genius.

   Of course, these are all trivial matters.

  If you really want to solve the "budget problem" at the root, it is not enough to rely on only one or two best-selling products.

  The scientific expedition team managed by Yin Fang has locked a shelter in Dongcheng District.

  According to recorded information, that shelter was opened fifty years ago, numbered 401.

  Considering that he has never heard any news about the refuge, Chu Guang has reason to believe that it has been abandoned, and the people there have disappeared.

  But it doesn't matter if it's deserted.

  As long as the controllable fusion reactor is still good, as long as he can find fuel rods that match the model, he has a way to reuse it!

  For example, throw hundreds of training cabins in the past.

   Just to increase the sense of presence of Refuge No. 404 in the east of Qingquan City, in preparation for the expansion of the recovery area.

  In addition to solving the problems of the players, there are also the problems of the aborigines that need to be solved.

  The establishment of a new alliance is not just a slogan, but a promise.

At present, the laws of the new alliance are only implemented in Dawn City, and besides Dawn City, there are still many small and medium-sized survivor settlements in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City and even on the large wasteland outside the city, which are suffering from alien species and predators. intrusion.

  In addition, there are still some stubborn feudal lords in the recovery area who need to recognize the situation clearly and make a choice between self-consciousness and passive self-consciousness.

  Chu Guang intends to spend a month to deal with these historical problems.

  However, to Chu Guang's surprise, the first person to recognize the situation and make a change was his old neighbor Brown...

   (Thanks to the leader of "Jijia Luoyu" for the reward! Sorry brothers, it's a little late today T.T)

  (end of this chapter)
