Chapter 62 You Saved Our Family

Chu Guang didn't notice how   Yaya stepped into the mutant leech's nest with what kind of expression.

   But when she appeared at the door of the warehouse with a large bag of mushrooms, her face was always filled with disgraced joy.

   Looking at the blue mushroom stuffed in the sack, Chu Guang's tone couldn't help but bring a hint of surprise.

"so much?"

   The panting Yaya nodded vigorously, hehe said with a smile.

   "I went in three times! I almost got bitten, hehe."

  Chu Guang: "..."

  Three times? !

   This is too brave.

   Anyway, he wouldn't dare.

  After weighing, a sack of mushrooms has a total of 70 kilograms.

   This number far exceeded Chu Guang's expectations.

  According to his original estimate, he would be able to pick about 40 to 50 kilograms if he died, but he did not expect her to reach 70 kilograms.

   "A total of 560 copper coins, equivalent to 56 silver coins. In addition, there are 700 contribution points..."

   Would you give too much?

never mind.

   After all, people risk their lives to make money.

   Hearing the number read out from the manager's mouth, Ya Ya jumped up excitedly and threw her fists excitedly.

   "Ness!"

   "Get rich hahaha!"

  Chu Guang: "..."

  Although I'm an NPC, can you find a place where no one gets excited?

  The thickness of a silver coin is less than 2 mm, and 50 coins are bundled into a stack of about 9-10 cm. Compared with the small vault of the refuge, it is only a drop in the ocean.

After    received the reward, Yaya happily hummed and left, while Chu Guang, who was standing at the door of the warehouse, touched his chin and thought.

   The richest players at present are probably Lao Bai and Fang Chang. Their strength and understanding of the game are almost the first echelon of players.

During this time, they have been hunting, and they have almost figured out the areas with the highest prey activity in the vicinity. Their daily income has risen from 52 silver coins to a maximum of 100 coins. Even if the hunting income is unstable, they should have been saved in the past few days. a lot of money.

  For safety reasons, Chu Guang checks the lockers of players every day.

  No accident, the Niu Ma team should be able to save up 200 silver coins today to raise funds to buy the land closest to the resurrection point.

  In addition to them, the deposits of other players are also rising steadily. Even if the purchase of wooden weapons, iron weapons, leather protective gear, cold coats, tools and food will consume some, the players with the least deposits basically hold more than 10 silver coins.

   "Maybe the 'bank' function should be updated."

   This will not only save players' storage space, but also distribute the silver coins they have saved to them.

   The more Chu Guang thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and he immediately took out the small notebook in his pocket and wrote it down.

   When there is a chance, this function must be arranged!

  …

  While storing the mushrooms in the warehouse, Chu Guang checked the inventory in the warehouse by the way.

   Excluding the part consumed by the trade with Honghe Town, the remaining bacon is close to 700 kilograms. Deducting the daily consumption, it looks like 100~200 kilograms can be stored in the warehouse every day, and more than half of it is contributed by the cattle and horse teams.

   Today is the 20th.

  If luck is not too bad, by the end of the month, we should be able to increase the stock to 2,000 kilograms, and replace half of it with grains and potatoes, at least to about 5 tons.

  According to the consumption of 4 taels of meat and 7 taels of rice per person per day, 1000 kg of air-dried meat is enough for 100 people to consume for 50 days, and 5 tons of grain is enough for 100 people to consume for 142 days.

Of course, these are ideal conditions, and it is not surprising that the actual situation deviates from the theoretical estimate by more than 20%. After all, the amount of food is also related to the amount of exercise. The more work you do, the faster you will be hungry. One meal a day is fine.

"...If we want to increase the number of people in the beta test to 100 people, we must double the theoretically estimated food reserves. Especially for meat... It would be nice if the prey could be caught in winter, but it would be troublesome if the prey could not be caught. "

   But if you think about it from another angle, maybe you don’t need that much food?

   When it’s too cold, it’s not necessary for everyone to be online, and it’s not even necessary to be online every day.

   And if it is in a dormant state, the material consumed by the clone will be greatly reduced, and it can even go without food for up to 7 days.

   It’s just that players may not be happy not to work for such a long time, and it must be on the official website again.

   But Chu Guang also thought of a countermeasure, and then the server maintenance will be OK.

   How can there be an unmaintained server?

   This is reasonable.

   Looking at the ledger in his hand, Chu Guang was thinking about the future of the refuge, and at this moment, a player trotted in from outside.

   "Master Manager, there are natives here!"

   Aboriginal?

   Chu Guang, who looked away from the ledger, was slightly stunned.

  Sun Shiqi just walked away, so it's impossible to come back, right?

   Could it be someone else?

   returned the ledger to the player who was the warehouse manager, Chu Guang looked at the player who reported to him and asked.

   "How many are they, and from which direction?"

   "South! Two men and a girl!"

   South?

   Hearing this direction, Chu Guang had probably guessed who was coming...

  …

   South gate of the outpost.

   The old man with wrinkles on his face and wearing an animal skin coat looked up at the concrete wall that was hundreds of meters wide, his turbid pupils filled with shock and surprise.

   The last time he came to Linghu Wetland Park seemed to have been two years ago.

The scavengers of   Bett Street mainly explore the direction of the south, unless they are hunting, they rarely go north along the elevated out of the city, after all, they may encounter looters who rob the passing caravans.

   As for Linghu Wetland Park, it is probably a blind spot that both scavenging and hunting will miss.

  There is not much prey to hunt here, and not much garbage to pick up, and almost no survivors will come here specially.

  I didn’t expect someone to build a survivor’s stronghold in this forest!

  The three-meter-high concrete wall looks a little short, but it is better than new and firm. Compared with the repaired broken wall on Bette Street, the sense of security is not known.

   Near the gate of the fence, stood some refuge residents wearing blue coats.

  The old man strengthened his courage and shouted.

   "I'm here to see your manager."

   No one responded to him.

   Those people just looked at it like this, whispering in a rude whisper, but they couldn't tell whether their eyes were kind or malicious.

   It seems…

   More like pure curiosity?

   "...Are you sure you're here?"

  The old man looked at the second son next to him, with some hesitation in his eyes.

   Carrying a large package on his back, Yu Hu faced his father's questioning eyes, nodded vigorously, and said in a sure tone.

   "That's it!"

   The expression on the old man's face was obviously more hesitant.

   "They don't seem to welcome us."

  Yu Hu's expression was a little embarrassed, he leaned closer to his father and whispered.

   "Maybe it's not that they don't welcome us, they just... don't understand what we're saying."

  The old man was stunned.

Can't understand?

  Isn't that so... The outsider in the blue jacket from before, didn't he understand everything?

  Yu Xiaoyu glanced at his father and brother, then at the fence in front of him, his **** eyes filled with curiosity.

   This was the first time she had left Bate Street, and it was this far.

  Chu Guang…

   Really here?

   At this time, a familiar figure appeared at the door, and when he saw that face clearly, Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up.

   However, there are too many strangers nearby.

  Hiding behind her brother, she only showed half of her face, looking timidly and curiously.

   Surrounded by a group of blue jackets, Chu Guang walked in front of the three and stopped.

   Looking at the old man at the head, before Chu Guang said hello, the old man thumped without warning and knelt on the ground, stunning everyone around him.

  Chu Guang was also stunned.

   What is this for? ?

   "Father?!"

   Yu Hu looked surprised, but before he had time to ask, his father grabbed his arm and knelt down.

  Xiaoyu looked confused.

   She didn't understand what her father and brother were doing, and she didn't know what to do with herself, so she tried to imitate the actions of her father and brother.

   "What are you doing... Get up!" Chu Guang had a big face and stepped forward to help the old man up from the ground.

   But the old man refused to get up, just lowered his head, his Adam's apple moved for a long time, and it took a long time to squeeze a word out of his mouth.

"thanks."

   "You saved our family!"

   He is old, at most he can work for two or three years before he can't work anymore. In fact, this year is a bit reluctant.

   And his son Yu Xiong, as the eldest son of the Yu family, is also the strongest labor force of the Yu family, and can be said to be the pillar of the entire family.

  If something happened to Yu Xiong, the whole family would starve and freeze.

  The old man understood very well.

  This foreigner not only saved his son's life, but his whole family.

   But Chu Guang didn't think about it that much. He didn't have to calculate everything, and saving people was just a matter of convenience.

   "You're embarrassing me like this... Anyway, get up first."

   Now is not the time to be humble, you can’t keep people kneeling all the time.

   Having said that, Chu Guang used a little strength in his hands to help the old man up from the ground.

   Maybe it was because of the embarrassment that Chu Guang said, the old man did not continue to kneel after he got up, and instead reached out and took off the package on the back of his second son.

  It was a package made of deerskin, with some animal skins folded inside, and it looked heavy.

  The old man held it with both hands, handed it to Chu Guang's hand, and said sincerely.

   "You are the benefactor of our Yu family, we cannot let you waste your precious medicine in vain."

   "We have nothing else to give you, these skins are peeled from mutant hyenas and reindeer, there are seven in total... Except for the tribute left to the mayor, this is all our property."

   "I know these things are not enough to repay your kindness, but if we do nothing, we will feel uneasy."

   "Please accept it!"

  The entire net worth of a destitute person, if he really accepts it, then he is really uneasy.

  Chu Guang was dumbfounded for a while, not accepting it directly, or not accepting it.

   But at this moment, Chu Guang's heart suddenly moved, thinking that even if the old man took these furs back, they would still be sold to the old leech in Beit Street, and then be slaughtered fiercely, and he would not get much money at all.

   He remembered very clearly that there was a sign hanging at the door of Old Charlie's grocery store, which read a mutated hyena skin for 2 chips and a reindeer skin for 4 chips.

   Among the 7 pieces of skins, 4 pieces are from mutant hyenas, and 3 pieces are from mutant reindeer. At the price of Bette Street, the old man can sell up to 20 chips.

   This kind of unequal transaction is already exploitative in itself, not to mention that these 20-point chips can hardly be exchanged for anything good in Bate Street.

   For example, green wheat, if you want to use chips to buy green wheat on Bate Street, you need a full 3 chips per kilogram, which is almost three times the price of Brown Farm!

   is equivalent to 10 pieces of animal skins that can keep out the cold. If you buy and sell them, you can still exchange less than 10 kilograms of grains.

   And it was before food prices went up.

   Is this reasonable?

   must be so unreasonable!

Of course, these survivors mainly used the chips in exchange for fur to exchange for salt or other daily necessities, and it was relatively rare to directly buy grains. Hunt for rations.

   But no matter what, this old leech is too much.

  Chu Guang has long disliked him!

   So, Chu Guang decisively reached out and took all the furs, handed them to the player closest to him, and ordered.

   "Send it to the warehouse, and bring 1 kilogram of coarse salt over, and I will give you 5 copper coins as a reward."

  5 Although there are a lot of copper coins, how can there be an interesting plot?

   That player was reluctant.

  Although the manager and these natives are chatting and babbling, he can't understand anything, but who hasn't seen two movies without subtitles these days?

   But the managers have already stuffed things into his hands, and didn't give him a chance to refuse at all.

   Seeing that he didn't move and the plot didn't go away, this little player could only run to the base even if he was reluctant in his heart.

   did not wait long.

   The player who ran back to the base quickly trotted out with a black plastic bag.

  Chu Guang took the coarse salt from him and stuffed it into the old man's hand.

   "I've accepted the fur, these coarse salts are about a kilogram, so you should treat it as a gift!"

  The old man was stunned for a moment, seeing the salt in the bag, he was in a hurry, he quickly pushed the bag of coarse salt back, and refused to accept it.

   "How about that!"

   "You are the benefactor of our Yu family, how can I accept your gift!"

   A kilo of kosher salt!

  In Bate Street, 100 grams cost 2 points, and a kilogram is 20 points, not to mention that when they weigh salt, they are always short of jins and taels, and good quality is even sold.

  The bag of salt that Chu Guang brought, although it was also coarse salt, but the quality was much better than that sold in the grocery store under the name of the old town mayor.

   At least it looks translucent, the luster is not so cloudy, and the color is not so yellow!

   "Just keep it, this time I will take advantage of you."

   Involuntarily pushed the plastic bag back, Chu Guang looked at the old man and said with a smile.

   "Next time if you have this kind of fur, you can bring it to me."

   "150g for a hyena skin and 300g for a deerskin."

   "How much do you have, how much I charge!"
