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

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

  《Developer Diary: Alpha0.3 Version》

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

   "I'm not boasting, this update to version alpha 0.3 will be the most significant update since the game's beta test started!"

"Before, some friends have complained that the settlement process of contribution points is too troublesome, and you can only check it after you go offline. You can't feel the joy of counting money in the game, and you are always worried about NPC deducting wages... In fact, this worry is completely unnecessary. I am also a novice. The guide’s No. 404 shelter manager is absolutely righteous in setting, and will never pay a penny less, and I can guarantee this with my character!"

"However, although there is no problem of deducting wages, the problem of the cumbersome settlement process of contribution points does exist. After receiving feedback, our planning department held meetings for three days and three nights, and finally came to the conclusion that the game cannot be sacrificed for authenticity. sex."

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

   "This currency is very convenient. Its denominations are mainly divided into 1 and 10, and its color 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 provided for free, but players will need to spend copper or silver coins in the game to buy it. At the same time, players will also get money from missions as rewards... It sounds like Isn’t it very interesting? The gameplay has been enriched in an instant!”

"On the other hand, after the Alpha0.3 update, the shelter will allow its residents to own their own private property! The garbage or equipment that players pick up from the wasteland will belong to them, and they can be traded with other players, or It can be sold to the shelter in exchange for rewards."

   "For this reason, we have specially launched an additional storage system, which is located in the buffer room at the entrance and exit of the shelter!"

   "There is a row of lockers where passwords can be set. You should have noticed before, and now they have been opened for use. Whether it is money or weapons, you can store there, except for dangerous items that are prohibited from being brought into the shelter!"

   "What? You ask me if it's free? Of course it's paid for! But don't worry, they're cheap and affordable for everyone!"

   "In addition, players who hold a large number of contribution points don't need to be discouraged! Although the contribution points are no longer used as currency, NPCs are all aware of your contributions to the shelter and even the entire civilization."

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

   "This system is independent of the economic system, and it is mainly related to the 'privileges' enjoyed by players in the shelter... Simply put, it can be used to exchange identities and titles!"

   "The initial status of all players is a refuge resident by default. You can upgrade from a resident to a citizen by spending 2,000 contributions."

   "In Vault 404, residents only enjoy basic human rights, and only citizens can own private land."

   "Currently only 'citizenship' status is open for exchange. The most basic citizenship status only supports the purchase of 5 square meters of private land, and as the status is promoted, 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, systems such as mercenaries, caravans, guilds, and legions that are being designed also have certain requirements for identity and contribution points."

"After the Alpha0.3 version, the rewards for daily tasks are mainly based on money. Only actions that contribute to the overall interests of the outpost can be rewarded with contribution points. Including but not limited to public positions, solving emergencies, great creations and inventions, etc.”

   "Please keep these in mind!"

  After the post was sent out, it didn't immediately cause much commotion.

   But this is also expected by Chu Guang.

  It was three o'clock in the afternoon on the wasteland side, but it was early morning on the real side. It was too early for netizens who didn't get the reservation qualification, and too early for players who were playing the game.

   When they go offline, they will see it naturally.

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

  【Yaoya: What's the situation, this is an update! ? I I I I missed the whole 0.2 release? ! QAQ]

   Seeing this post, Chu Guang was shocked.

   This guy really does what he says, he won’t sleep without a helmet.

  However, he can't help it.

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

  Be patient, I will be able to go to work almost tomorrow.

   Ignoring this unfortunate little player, Chu Guang turned off the computer, got up and went outside the shelter.

  Since he bought a batch of tools from Brown Farm last time, 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 wall around the sanatorium has almost been repaired.

   Not only that, Chu Guang also discovered that some players, under the leadership of "Knife Keeping People Under the Sword", dug a foundation on the open space in front of the nursing home, paved it with yellow mud bricks, and smeared it with cement.

   Looks like building a house.

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

   "What are you doing?"

  The player was honest and straightforward, and explained with a smile.

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

   What the hell?

  Hearing this, Chu Guang was startled.

   Are you so conscious?

  Although he did disclose information about NPCs with Chang Fang, he never hinted at such things as building a weapon shop.

   This wave of predictions is simply in the atmosphere!

  There was no expression on his 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 a bathhouse!"

"Didn't we always go to the lake to wash up, but later found that it was not safe to do it all the time. Especially yesterday, the old Bai brother was almost bitten off by a catfish as soon as he entered the water. So we discussed and planned to build a public bathhouse come out."

   Poof.

   No, no laughing.

  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 will go to work first."

   "Go."

   Time soon arrived in the evening.

Brother Chaodan set up an iron pot on the open space, first threw a piece of hyena fat into it to refine oil, then threw the chopped venison and vegetable leaves picked up from nowhere into the pot, stir-fried over high heat, and sprinkled Salt to taste.

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

  Thanks to the reindeer sent by the manager, the players can finally improve their food.

   "Where did you pick up that iron pot?" Chu Guang was curious when he saw Brother Chaodan holding a kitchen utensil he had never seen before, 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 be used?"

   "It's ready to use! Although the quality of the smelted steel can only be considered average, there is no problem in making some tools."

  Old Bai smiled proudly, and continued,

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

   Unexpectedly, even the technology of indigenous steelmaking was mastered by these players.

  Although the quality of the steel smelted by this method may not be satisfactory, isn't any technology maturing step by step?

  With iron.

   Not to mention the combat effectiveness, at least the productivity can go up to a new level!

  Chu Guang felt emotional in his heart, his face was full of admiration.

   "You guys are doing a great job, I will report your credit to the organization."

   "You and Fang Chang will receive a reward of 1,000 contribution points...as a commendation for solving the steel needs of the outpost."

  Old Bai was overjoyed and said hastily.

   "It is my honor to share your worries!"

  Chu Guang shook his head.

"You're welcome."

   These players are all talents, and they speak nicely. It is too easy for me to be a manager.

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

  The residents of the refuge are far more difficult to serve than the survivors on the wasteland. Even if they have enough food and clothing, they will still ignore the bad status quo and make some unrealistic propositions.

Few predators can break through the iron walls of the shelter head-on. Those tickling weapons are not worthy of leaving a slight scratch on the gate of the shelter. Most of the shelters that are abandoned due to unnatural factors are caused by internal Contradictions and disagreements, self-destructive.

  When he heard these words from old Charlie, Chu Guang always felt that his tone was a bit melancholy.

   It was like his own personal experience.

When he just took over the management authority of No. 404 shelter, Chu Guang was actually a little apprehensive, worried that he would not be able to do the job well, so he always left a retreat for himself on Beit Street, and bought Xiaoyu to help him look after the house .

  But now, he doesn't think so anymore.

  Similar things may happen in any shelter, but it will definitely not happen to me.

  Go to the cooking stove.

  Chu Guang held a bowl, looked at Brother Chaodan who had just finished frying a pot of dishes, and said.

   "Give me a bowl too."

   Scrambled Egg looked surprised.

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

   Is the artificial intelligence upgraded?

"I come!"

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

   "Be careful it's hot."

"Um."

  Chu Guang nodded his thanks, and asked Brother Chaodan to serve him a spoonful of fried venison, poured it directly on the thick green wheat porridge, then turned and walked towards the elevator of the shelter.
