After the announcement of   , Chu Guang did not sit idle, and continued to pin his pre-edited post on the forum on the official website.

   This kind of major update that concerns the interests of all players, of course, I have to have a good chat with the players as a planner.

  《Developer Diary: alpha0.3 version》

   "Hello everyone, I'm your dearest planner. Thanks to our overtime work day and night, and the beta testers who check in on time every day, the development progress of Wasteland OL has taken another big step forward!"

   "I'm not boasting, this update of the alpha0.3 version will be the most significant update since the game's closed beta was opened!"

"There have been complaints from small partners before that the settlement process of contribution points is too cumbersome, and you have to go offline before you can check it, you can't feel the joy of counting money in the game, and you always worry about NPCs deducting wages... In fact, this worry is completely unnecessary, and it is a part-time job. The manager of Vault 404, the novice guide, is absolutely righteous in the setting, and will never lose a penny, I can guarantee this with my character!"

"However, although there is no problem of deduction of wages, the problem that the settlement process of contribution points is too cumbersome does exist. After receiving feedback, our planning department held meetings for three days and three nights in a row, and finally came to the conclusion that we cannot sacrifice for authenticity. Gameplay."

   "Therefore, we decided to design a new set of currency to replace the original contribution points as the main reward players get from missions!"

   "This currency is very convenient. The denominations are mainly divided into 1 and 10. The fineness is brass and silver. It can be used to buy food, equipment, and other services and goods that require payment."

"Yes, after this update, food will no longer be available for free, but will require players to spend in-game copper or silver coins to buy. At the same time, players will also get money from tasks as rewards... This listen Isn't it fun? The gameplay is instantly enriched!"

"On the other hand, after the Alpha 0.3 update, the sanctuary will allow its residents to own their own private property! The garbage or equipment that players pick up from the wasteland will belong to themselves and can be traded with other players. Can be sold to the Refuge for a reward."

   "For this purpose, we have introduced an additional warehouse system, located in the buffer room at the entrance and exit of the shelter!"

   "There's a row of lockers where you can set a password, you should have noticed before, and now they're open for use, whether it's money or weapons, except for dangerous items that are prohibited from being brought into the shelter!"

   "What? Are you asking me if it's free? Of course there is a fee! But don't worry, their rent is so cheap that everyone can afford it!"

   "In addition, players who hold a lot of contribution points don't have to be discouraged! Although the contribution points are no longer used as currency, the NPCs all see your contribution to the refuge and even the entire civilization."

   "After research by our planning department, we decided to incorporate contribution points into the new 'honor' system!"

   "This system is independent of the economic system, and is mainly related to the 'privilege' that players enjoy in the sanctuary... In short, it can be used to exchange identities and titles!"

   "The initial status of all players is the Refuge Resident by default. You can upgrade from Resident to Citizen for 2000 Contributions."

   “In Vault 404, residents have only basic human rights, and only citizens can own private land.”

   "Currently, only 'citizen' status exchange is open. The most basic citizenship status only supports the purchase of 5 square meters of private land, and with the promotion of status, this number will continue to expand."

   "More identities and titles will be released in subsequent updates according to the progress of the test."

   "At the same time, the systems of mercenaries, caravans, guilds, and legions that are being designed also have certain requirements for identity and contribution points."

"After the Alpha 0.3 version, the rewards for daily tasks are mainly money. Only behaviors that contribute to the overall interests of the outpost can get the rewards of contribution points. Including but not limited to holding public positions, solving emergencies, and great creations and inventions, etc."

   "Please remember these!"

After the    post was published, it did not immediately cause much movement.

   But this is also what Chu Guang expected.

  It is three o'clock in the afternoon on this side of the wasteland, and it is the early morning on the other side. It is too late for netizens who have not obtained the reservation qualification, and it is too early for players who are in the game.

   When they are offline, they will naturally see it.

   stretched, Chu Guang was about to turn off the computer when he suddenly found that there were actually more replies to the post.

   [Yow: What's the situation, this is updated! ? i i i i missed the whole 0.2 version? ! QAQ]

   Chu Guang was shocked when he saw this post.

   This guy really does what he says, he can't sleep without a helmet.

   However, he couldn't help it.

   If possible, Chu Guang would like the players' resurrection CD to be shorter than anyone else, but unfortunately, it always takes a little time to develop from an embryo to a mature individual.

   Just be patient, I will be able to go to work tomorrow.

   Ignoring the unlucky little player, after Chu Guang turned off the computer, he got up and went outside the shelter.

   Since the last time he bought a batch of tools from Brown's Farm, the efficiency of the players' work has indeed improved a lot compared to before.

   It has only been two days since the third batch of players entered the game, and the concrete walls around the sanatorium have almost been repaired.

   Not only that, Chu Guang also found that some players were under the leadership of "retaining people under the knife", digging the foundation in the open space in front of the sanatorium, laying yellow mud bricks inside, and smearing cement.

   looks like building a house.

  Chu Guang stepped forward and asked a player who was moving bricks.

   "What are you doing?"

   That player was also upright, hehe explained with a smile.

   "I heard that the new NPC is a weapon dealer, and we are building a weapon store for her!"

  What the hell?

   Hearing this, Chu Guang was shocked.

   So self-conscious?

  Although he did reveal information about NPCs with Fang Chang, he never hinted at the repair of weapons stores.

   This wave of predictions is almost in the atmosphere!

There was no expression on   's face, Chu Guang then looked at the foundation next to him and continued to ask.

   "What about the other one?"

   The player replied with a smile.

   "That, it should be the bathhouse!"

"Haven't we been going to the lake to wash up before, but then we found out that it's not safe to do it this way. Especially yesterday, the old white brothers were almost bitten off by a catfish when they were in the water. So we decided to build a public bathhouse. come out."

  Poof.

   No, can't laugh.

  Chu Guang held back, and nodded with a stiff expression.

   "Cough, come on."

   "Pay attention to hygiene is a good thing..."

   The player said with a smile.

   "Okay! Then I'll go to work first."

   "Go."

  The time soon came to evening.

Brother Scrambled Egg set up an iron pot in the open space, first threw in a piece of hyena's fat to refine oil, then threw the chopped venison and vegetable leaves I didn't know where to put it into the pot to stir fry over high heat, and sprinkle it on top. Salt for seasoning.

   Tonight's recipe is stir-fried venison with bracken, served with light boiled green wheat porridge.

  Thanks to the reindeer called by the manager, players can finally improve their meals.

   "Where did you get that iron pan from?" Seeing that Brother Scrambled Egg was holding a kitchen utensil he had never seen before, Chu Guang was curious, so he looked at Lao Bai who was closest to him and asked.

   "You said that, Fang Chang and I made it." Facing the manager's question, Lao Bai said with a smile.

   "What did you do?" Chu Guang glanced at him unexpectedly, and then asked, "Your blast furnace... can it be used?"

   "It's ready to use! Although the quality of the steel produced is only average, it's not a problem to make some tools."

   Lao Bai smiled proudly and then said,

   "I wanted to report to you just now, but I couldn't find where you were, hehe."

   Unexpectedly, these players have mastered even the technology of local steelmaking.

  Although the quality of steel made by this method may not be satisfactory, isn't any technology gradually mature?

   With iron.

   Not to mention combat power, at least productivity has reached a new level!

  Chu Guang sighed in his heart, and his face was full of admiration.

   "You did a great job, I will report your credit to the organization."

   "You and Fang Chang will be rewarded with 1000 Contribution Points...as a reward for addressing the steel needs of the outpost."

  Old Bai was overjoyed and said quickly.

   "It's my honor to share your worries for you!"

  Chu Guang shook his head.

"You're welcome."

   These players are all talents, and they speak nicely, so it is too easy to be a manager.

   I remember when I was in Bate Street before, Chu Guang once heard old Charlie from a grocery store say that most of the managers of the shelters did not end well.

  The residents of the sanctuary are far more difficult to serve than the survivors in the wasteland. Even if they are well fed and clothed, they will still ignore the bad status quo and make some unrealistic claims.

Few looters can break through the iron walls of the shelter head-on. Those tickle-like weapons are not worthy of leaving a scratch on the door of the shelter. Most of the shelters that are deserted due to unnatural factors are due to internal Contradictions and disagreements, self-disintegrating.

  When he heard these words from Old Charlie's mouth at that time, Chu Guang always felt that his tone was a little melancholy.

   seems to be his own experience.

When he just took over the management authority of No. 404 Refuge, Chu Guang was actually a little nervous, worried that he would not be able to do this job, so he kept giving himself a way out on Bette Street and bought Xiaoyu to help him look after the house. .

   But now, he no longer thinks so.

   Something like that can happen to any shelter, but it never happens to me.

   Go to the cooking stove.

  Chu Guang held a bowl, looked at the scrambled egg brother who had just finished frying a pot of vegetables and said.

   "Bring me a bowl too."

   Scrambled eggs looked surprised.

   In his impression, this NPC seems to have never dined with them. So much so that he suspected for a time that this adult does not need to eat in the setting.

   Is artificial intelligence upgraded?

"I come!"

   Teng Teng, who was waiting by the stove, took the bowl diligently, filled a large bowl of green wheat porridge, and handed it to the manager.

   "Be careful with the heat."

"Um."

  Chu Guang nodded and thanked him, and asked Brother Scrambled Egg to give him a spoonful of fried venison, poured it directly on the thick green wheat porridge, and then turned around and walked towards the shelter elevator.
