Chapter 49 Chu Guang is playing a big game

   In fact, not only Fang Chang noticed it, but many players have also noticed it.

   The significance of this update is far more than improving the economic system and incorporating contribution points into the honor system.

The biggest significance of    is to emphasize the cooperation between players!

  As the number of players increases, this step is actually inevitable.

  A good social system can not only increase the game experience of players, but also increase user stickiness and daily activity.

   Although the latter is a bit redundant for the highly skilled "Wasteland OL".

   So far, the players who have been screened by Chu Guang are all hard-core players. They can't wait to stay online 24 hours a day. It's not that they are reluctant to play the game when it's time for forced offline.

   Self-discipline seems to have no **** life.

   In any case, in the eyes of the vast majority of players, the impact of this update on player cooperation is far-reaching.

  Although the official social system has not been updated, many settings are actually paving the way for team formation and guild systems.

   For example, players can share land use rights with friends.

  5 square meters of land may not be able to do anything, but four players put together, put together a 20 square meters, you can build a small apartment.

   Isn't this the prototype of a guild?

   "Xiao Qi, do you know what the soul of a game is?"

   "What is it?"

   Standing on the 3rd floor of the sanatorium, watching the players busy in and out of the outpost base, Chu Guang's mouth curled into a slight smile.

   "It's math."

"math?"

"Well, to be more precise, it should be said that it is numerical design. This is an art, and excellent numerical design itself is enough to become a gameplay. In contrast, the plot, graphics, and settings are what art gives the game. added value.”

  Du Niang is not completely useless.

   Occasionally I can find some nonsense.

   After a pause, Chu Guang continued slowly.

   "Through the design of logarithmic values, we can keep the contribution points and money that most players who follow the steps in a day can get within a reasonable range."

"For example, under normal circumstances, it takes two to three weeks to upgrade from resident to citizen. This time can not be too long, it will make the player lose confidence, nor too short, and things that are too easy to get are meaningless. And wait for the player to upgrade to citizen. , become our core users, and we will immediately set new goals for them, such as buying land.”

  Xiaoqi tilted the camera.

   "Buy land? But the land price you set doesn't seem to be expensive."

"That's right," Chu Guang nodded. "For players who have already obtained citizenship, it doesn't take long to buy the land itself, and it's even a matter of digging out the wallet. But after buying the land, you have to put some points on it. what?"

"Building a house requires cement and bricks. A firmer small western-style building also needs steel. If you build a few more houses, won't the production capacity of building materials such as cement, bricks, and steel go up? I don't believe that these players are happy to see their little ones in the game. The huts are ugly like shacks. Why is citizenship only given them 5 square meters? If I give them 10 square meters, 20 square meters, our safe area will soon be filled with useless shacks and garbage.”

  Xiaoqi: "Ah, this."

   For AI, it may seem difficult to understand these things with empathy.

   But Chu Guang didn't care.

   smiled faintly, he continued.

"When the house is built, I can't live in the rough, right? The bed, the table, the cabinet, the carpet and the curtains. After the electricity is turned on, I can get a light bulb, and I have to buy some furniture. Logs, furs, handicrafts... ...and again and again, won't production capacity and consumption come up together with the left foot and the right foot?"

  Whether it is selling land to build a house or buying furniture, does it cost money?

   And where does the money come from?

  Sorry, this game is still in closed beta testing, and does not support krypton gold for the time being. If you want to make money, you can honestly do tasks, liver copies, or work in the field.

  Through the lever of the mission system, Chu Guang can easily control the flow of money, thereby indirectly controlling the behavior of players.

   For example, if the shelter is short of food, then increase the rewards of gathering tasks and hunting tasks. If you need to build a house, then increase the income of moving bricks, plastering, and burning cement.

  What if mutants or marauders came to your door?

   Then it's not about money.

  Chu Guang will release the "Never Retreat" war mobilization in the form of "in-game events", and temporarily exempt players from some of the death penalties in the event and issue them weapons.

   In the face of a group of natural disasters that are not afraid of death.

   Even mutants who don't know what to fear are terrified.

"...When they are almost done playing, I will open a new status level for them to play. There are intermediate citizens behind the citizens, and the land that can be purchased will also be increased to 25 square meters. At that time, the second circle of walls will also be built. There is no shortage of cement, bricks, wood, steel, and it’s no surprise that they will build a bigger house and do all the above again.”

"One day I'm tired of building a house in front of my house, I will throw a noble title to these old players, and then arrange a fief a little farther away, let them toss by themselves. Weapons, ammunition, food, fuel, building materials... always If they can produce it, if they can’t, they can import it from their hometown, just to find something to do for new players.”

   "As for the future? Let's talk about it later. Damn, I only unlocked the B1 floor of the Refuge, but I worry about them far enough..."

   It is still unknown how many training pods there are in Vault 404. Maybe he will have to find a way to build this thing himself in the future.

   He was convinced that the first-generation administrator with supernatural powers completed some "unprecedented" great technology in this sanctuary.

   and will tell him the truth of everything after he has uncovered all the secrets.

   However, although the future road is unpredictable, Chu Guang is still full of confidence in the big update of the Alpha0.3 version.

   He is playing a big game.

   In his first stage plan, players who have received nine years of compulsory education are all high-quality productivity, and there is no problem in skipping the agricultural society and leaping into industrialization.

   has completed the most basic industrialization, and has the premise of survival in the wasteland.

   In the second stage, with the expansion of the number of players, Chu Guang will try to attract a group of aborigines from the wasteland to join the outpost, and engage in basic production jobs such as farming, cutting trees, and burning cement. If there are special talents among these aborigines, he will also arrange special positions for them.

And those players who have been upgraded to citizens can be freed from basic manual labor positions and devote more to challenging and "fun" work such as creativity, combat, and exploration, and give full play to their ability to continuously resurrect, The advantage of trial and error.

   comes to the third stage, which is the final stage.

   Ideally, the natives of the wasteland as NPCs and the players as clones should have formed a special symbiotic social relationship.

   Complement each other's advantages and restrain each other.

If all goes well, players who own real estate, property, equipment, friendship, and even love here will regard Wasteland OL as their "second life" and become supporters of order rather than challengers, forming a benign game. ecology.

   This kind of game actually exists in reality.

   is commonly known as the "server environment".

   Of course, Chu Guang also knew that plans could never keep up with changes, so he also prepared a lot of Plan B to deal with sudden situations.

   But at least for now, the implementation of the first phase of the plan is still quite good.

   These beta test players carefully selected by Chu Guang were obviously greedy for the pie he drew, and they cooperated more than he imagined.

  Xiaoqi raised the camera, looked at the master standing next to him, and reminded him in a low voice.

   "Master, you know what, you're laughing like a villain now."

   "Villain? Have you ever seen a villain as kind as me?"

  Chu Guang glared at the guy who couldn't speak.

"I freed them from their boring routine and gave them an extraordinary 12 extra hours in their lives. All they had to do was sweat and dream, and they had nothing to lose. It didn't even cost a penny!"

Oh shit.

   It’s a shame to say that.

   This helmet should be charged!

   But after thinking about it, Chu Guang didn't know what was the use of asking for money, and he couldn't deliver the items he bought online, and he didn't need to pay for the electricity bill of the server and the cost of the helmet.

   At least for now, collecting money will be a hassle.

   shook his head, Chu Guang retracted his gaze from the window, turned his back to Xiao Qi and yawned.

   "The wind on the rooftop is a bit strong."

   "I'll evade the refuge first, I'll leave it to you here."

   One of his favorite "cow and horse squads" had already set off with the bows, javelins, and dry rations bought with the funds, and they should have gone hunting.

Previously, Chu Guang had been deliberately cultivating the player named Ye Shi. Not only did he teach him the experience of surviving in the wasteland, and how to use "perception" to track prey and perceive danger, he also led him to successfully find the deer. footprint.

   If you can't catch the prey, you will be ashamed of your cultivation.

   It happened that there were not many 9mm bullets, so Chu Guang decided to give himself a vacation today.

  Xiaoqi moved the camera and took orders obediently.

   "As you order, Master."

  …

   It's noon.

   A hoarse whimper sounded from the half-open cultivation cabin next to the Refuge Resident Hall.

   "Woooooo, sister, I'm finally alive!"

   He got up too excited earlier, his forehead slammed on the hatch that had not been fully opened, and he sat up from the training cabin while rubbing his red forehead.

   Looking at the delicate skin and proud body in the mirror opposite her, tears filled her pupils.

   Half pain, half excitement.

Before    went online, she had been OB on the forum for three whole days!

   Three days!

  God knows how I survived these three sleepless nights without a helmet.

   Wiped away the tears she squeezed out, Ya Ya quickly put on the clothes she put in the storage compartment in the cabin, lifted it vigorously, tightened the zipper, and walked out of the room with a small jog.

   The lights in the resident hall were on.

   Chu Guang, who had just returned from outside, was sitting in front of the computer in the hall surfing the Internet.

   Hearing the footsteps coming from next door, he closed the webpage he was browsing, released the mouse, and looked at the player who walked into the lobby.

   I saw this little leek lowered his head and said in a repentant tone.

   "Dear Manager, please allow me to apologize for my hasty and reckless behavior!"

   Although the planner told her that apology was meaningless, but what this NPC did was too realistic.

  Especially when he looked over, she always felt that if she didn't say sorry, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself.

   "You don't have to apologize to me, you are betraying the trust of the organization and the people who are still waiting in the underground."

  Chu Guang glanced at the clothes on her body.

  If I remember correctly, only two sets of this blue jacket uniform are provided for each training cabin. If this guy dies again, I'm afraid he can only run away.

  Tengteng has made some warm animal skin coats, but they are only suitable for wearing outside. If you don't wear anything inside, it will be somewhat unsuitable for children.

   Especially this guy's figure is a bit special...

  Chu Guang continued with an expressionless expression.

   "...According to the rules, I should deduct 500 contribution points from you, but unfortunately you don't have any contribution points to deduct."

   Ya Ya lowered her head and said ashamedly.

   "I'm really sorry, I'm willing to accept any punishment!"

"Punishment is for you to learn a lesson. If you want to survive in this wasteland, you need not only courage, but also brains. I hope you can cherish your life, and cherish this hard-won journey to the surface. Chance."

  Chu Guang paused and continued.

"I'll give you a task to collect 100 kilograms of food, including but not limited to wild vegetables, berries, and mushrooms. Until the punishment task is completed, your status will drop from 'resident' to 'sinner', which cannot be You can't get any rewards even if you receive the quest normally."

   "Remember, your balance is not enough to pay the death penalty. If you die again, I will send you back underground permanently."

   "Do it yourself."

  Permanent repatriation means deprivation of gaming qualifications.

   In the fictional game setting, all players come from the deepest depths of the sanctuary—a dormant center that freezes thousands of people and acts as a vanguard to return to the surface.

   Hearing the words "permanent repatriation", Yaya trembled and said quickly.

   "Yes! I promise never again!"

   Satisfied with her introspective attitude, Chu Guang nodded lightly.

   "Go."

   Dejectedly, she was about to walk towards the door, but at this moment, the manager sitting at the desk suddenly stopped her.

"Wait a moment."

   Ya Ya stopped and turned around.

   "Do you have any other orders?"

   "Well, wait a moment, I'll show you something."

   Having said that, Chu Guang took out a box of metal-packed cans from the drawer, tore off the tab, and tore off the lid of the can.

  The aroma wafts out of the can.

  Chu Guang was stunned when he saw it.

   I didn’t expect that this aged can, not only has no oil layering, but also looks the same as the newly produced can.

   Could it be that it was just processed...

  Chu Guang's expression was a little weird.

   Do you still need to test poison?

   always felt unnecessary.

   The newly resurrected Yaya didn't think so much.

   Her stomach was empty at the moment. She was not hungry at first, but when she saw the delicious can, she couldn't help swallowing.

   looked up at the manager, her face was full of disbelief and emotion.

   "This, is this for me?"

  Chu Guang didn't answer, just asked.

"Want to eat?"

   Ya Ya nodded quickly.

"think."

  Chu Guang continued to ask.

   "Is there anything wrong with that color? Like...green light?"

   Ya Ya shook her head vigorously.

"No!"

   When she is hungry, everything tastes good. Her attention has been completely hooked by the food, and she can't help swallowing again.

   This manager is too conscientious!

   Although I just punished myself, but—

"Okay, I know."

  Chu Guang took the can back.

   "I'll show you, don't think too much."

  Crowd: "???"

   Finally, the little player ran out with tears in his eyes.

   Chu Guang, who was sitting on a chair and eating canned food, also felt that he might have gone a little too far this time...
