My players are grinding in the apocalypse

The Peak Team and the Special Agent Team went to the Red City to spawn monsters. Cheng Shaofeng looked at the 547 [Electronic Components] and started thinking.

"Another large amount of materials has been put into the account. Theoretically, new players can be summoned."

"But how to solve the energy problem is a head-scratcher."

"Players, give me some strength and provide me with the energy supply!"

Originally, he had high hopes for the mixed crystal production area, and he could get the crystals by swiping the mutants. However, after a few waves of mutants and veteran players, they found out that it was a bit too strong, so they all ran away!

A total of dozens of small crystal grains were harvested, which added up to more than 5,000 points of energy, which was less than one of his crystal stones!

As the player level rises, activities become more and more frequent, not only decomposition and resurrection, but also the energy consumption increases. The current energy consumption of the base is as high as 6,000 points per day, which is seriously overloaded!

The energy brought from the predators has been rushed to the base, but according to the current consumption, it can only last for a week at most, and then he has to use the 20,000 in the [Mixed Crystal] he brought back from the Chamber of Commerce. After using up the energy, it will be the remaining 30,000 energy of the [Thunder Crystal] I just got.

All things considered, according to the current consumption method, he can still persist for half a month.

"No. If all the crystal energy is used to charge the base, then my personal ability will increase very slowly. This is not right. How can the players become a burden to me? I have to find a way from them."

At present, most of the new players are at level 6, with some reaching level 7. The level of real-life players will be a little lower, but it doesn't matter. I didn't plan to rely on them for energy.

It would be good to build the base well.

“We have to resort to measures to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.”

After editing for a while, Cheng Shaofeng issued a world announcement.

【notify! important Notice! 】

[Due to the current low energy supply of the base, it has fallen into an energy crisis. All soldiers need to find energy. Any form of energy can supply energy to our natural disaster base! 】

[Due to the 'energy crisis' emergency situation, the natural disaster base has adjusted some mission rewards and equipment usage charges]

[1. All rewards for surrendering energy will be doubled! 】

[2. The cost of using the loot generator is doubled, the policy of free first two times a day is cancelled, and the iron coins consumed each time it is used is doubled. 】

【3. Players who explore large energy mines or energy generation sources will receive special rewards from the lord. 】

After sending this announcement, Cheng Shaofeng nodded himself.

"In this case, the behavior logic of the players will change, and some players will be transformed from pure brush players to explore and collect."

"You still have to explore. The current atmosphere in the base is not right. Those led by the Peak Team and the Drum Washing Machine are all biased towards grinding. The level rises very quickly, but it also leads to the fact that the energy problem has not been solved for a long time."

This time, he went to Feisha City and won a lot of rewards, which also showed that more exploring players are needed to discover broader landscapes and opportunities. Leveling up is basic, and if you want to develop comprehensively, you must explore.

After the announcement, all players started chatting on the world channel.

Drum washing machine: "I'll go! Isn't this aimed at us brush players! The consumption has doubled. We have to break down a lot of things every day to fight the Void Spirit. The iron coins cannot make ends meet. The pure version is resentful!"

Inexplicable: "Exploring, then we mysterious professional players have the advantage. After all, there are summons like crows with good vision. I understand, let's rent a horse and go out."

Abnormal Undead: "There are so many monsters around, it's hard to get out if you want to. What if you die along the way and the body is eaten by wild beasts, isn't it a waste of a resurrection coin? It's even worse! Why not continue to brush, Wait until you reach level 10 before leaving the mountain. If it’s more expensive, it’ll be more expensive. At worst, you can sell it directly to the store without breaking it down, and you can still stock up on iron coins.”

Forgive Hat: "Actually, the impact is not big. You can still farm what you need. It's just that the income from going out may increase. This is an uncertain income. It is possible to find a crystal energy mine after going out for a day, and then turn it over to the lord to make money. Even if you have a big fortune, you may go out for 3 days and come back dead without finding anything.”

Fang Gang: "Good guys, our special agent team has just entered the Red City and there was a world announcement. I just want to announce that players who have passed level 10 can team up with us and come to the Red City to get some good things."

Butter is 2 yuan each: "Damn! I just went to decompose things, and the price has increased! It cost me an extra 30 iron coins, and my already insufficient wallet is even worse. The lord is not a son of man!"

[‘Butter 2 yuan a piece’ has been banned by the lord for 1 hour. 】

Everyone: "???"

Many players are discussing the announcement, some of them are scolding the lords, and some players who have long been tired of grinding are just planning to go out and have a look.

The more than 50 horses raised in the base were rented out by players almost instantly.

If Cheng Shaofeng hadn't reacted and asked Lao Zhao to keep 3 horses as backup, they would all have been taken away by the players.

On this day, players in the natural disaster base ran in different directions and embarked on the road to find energy.

Cheng Shaofeng felt much more comfortable as he watched the maps opening up in all directions.

"Players are easy to direct. Just give them a few hints and follow your own direction. I wish you good luck."

However, within half an hour, the players' signals were disconnected from the communication base station.

Beyond the distance!

"Damn! The cell tower coverage is too short!"

Building a signal tower mainly requires a large amount of iron and electronic components. Currently, there is no shortage of electronic components. As for iron,

"Xiaoxiao, how's the iron smelting going lately? How much have you saved?"

Xiaoxiao, who was tinkering in front of the blast furnace, immediately stood up and said, "Lord, all the iron we smelt every day has been stored in your warehouse. We currently have a total of nearly 2 tons!"

"Okay, enough for me to build two signal towers."

The task of Xiaoxiao and the others who are engaged in steel work is to turn in iron materials. The current level has reached level 8, and they are all earned through task experience.

Xiaoxiao and Xuezi recruited three helpers from new players to work together on the base's steel business.

Xiaoxiao also opened a weapons shop to sell weapons made by several of them.

[Loot Generator] rarely generates weapon-type equipment, and most of them are obtained by players from outside. The quality is very average, and they are basically white and ordinary. However, Xiaoxiao and the others have mastered the technology of forging [rare] equipment. After players Very popular here.

Their shop not only accepts customized weapon services, but also creates some melee weapons with various attributes for sale in the store.

At the same time, there is a job that other players can do in the weapon shop: renting skeletons.

Before going offline, Necromancer players can rent skeletons to weapon shops for them to smelt iron, and each will be given 3 iron coins per hour.

It doesn't seem like much, but it's equivalent to the idle income, so don't waste it.

Taking a Necromancer with full-level skeletons as an example, you can rent 3 skeletons and the minimum offline time is 8 hours a day, which is 3*3*8=72 iron coins.

It’s almost enough to buy two of the latest [Frost Barrage] bullets.

Therefore, undead players are still willing to rent skeletons to them.

Therefore, today's iron smelting is basically done by skeletons. With some simple instructions, they can complete mechanical operations. Especially high-level skeletons are the best to use. They also have a certain amount of wisdom and can do some similar things. Complex instructions for adding plant ash.

Xiaoxiao and Xuezi no longer make iron by themselves, but leave it to the skeletons. Three new life players will supervise the work and correct mistakes, and their iron production has also increased significantly.

Xiaoxiao calls their assembly line: magic automation.

Milky-white Yukiko: "Hey, do you think that if we discovered crystal energy instead of steam and electricity on earth, would we have moved from the Industrial Revolution to the Magic Revolution? And then we would be what we are now?"

Turkey Flavor Crispy Rice: "It's very possible! Materials have always driven scientific and technological progress. When basic materials become crystal energy, they will naturally promote another technology, which can be called crystal energy technology."

While they were chatting, Cheng Shaofeng and Zero had already chosen a location to build a new communication base station.

"There are enough materials to build two base stations. Let's put them in the darkest places on the surrounding map."

To the north is Red City, which is right on the edge of the central base station of the natural disaster base. There is no need to leave it for the time being. It is difficult for players to go north before breaking through Red City. Most of the routes are blocked.

The southeast is the territory of the Rangers, but it is also the route from Colossus City to this side. It is the place where Cheng Shaofeng and the players must pass frequently, so a communication base station is placed.

The other thing is to put one in the southwest. In addition to the virtual spirits, there is a vast unexplored area there, and it can also cover the mutated biological zone of the mountain col. It kills two birds with one stone and is very cost-effective.

The two base stations were a big project. The nanoengineers in Cheng Shaofeng's body replicated themselves by the billions and took action quickly.

The energy of the natural disaster base is also slowly decreasing, which is used for the transportation and construction of nanorobots.

"It will take a day to build and summon a shadow guard again. Let's go to the Red City with the Peak Team to have a look. We will be training for Cheng Dafu for a week before playing in the game."

Cheng Shaofeng has just upgraded many skills and must summon the Shadow Guard again to inherit them.

After some operations, the new shadow guard entered Cheng Dafu's body. Cheng Shaofeng himself lay weakly on the recliner, and then closed his eyes peacefully.

"Go, my Shadow Guard!"

Red City.

Six people from the Peak Team and 30 people from the Special Agent Team stood at the gate of the sewage plant.

Xigou looked around vigilantly, and there was no sign of the large group of Scorch Man being besieged by him before. Even though his feet were covered in mud, it did not attract any Cleaners to come out.

"How did you do it? Cut off their power?"

Long Yi pointed to the new computer in his hand: "It's just some simple codes. I temporarily took over part of the city's self-defense mechanism and isolated the Jiao people from us. Don't believe me."

boom!

He fired a shot into the sky, and the next second, the Red City rioted!

The cameras in the surrounding streets all turned around to focus on their figures, and countless strange sounds came from all directions.

"I found you!"

"We are one!"

Boom, boom, boom!

The sounds of banging on the doors came one after another, and the Jiaohua people were trapped behind an unknown number of doors.

Tsk la tsk la~

There was also the harsh sound of nails scratching the steel plate, which made everyone's ears uncomfortable.

The demon fox said: "How long can this defense withstand them? Will it be suddenly broken? And then surround us?"

Long Yi: "No, I hacked into the city's defense control system and found some information. This city underwent intelligent combat readiness transformation before the end of the world. It was built by the country to deal with serious crises, like a... Alternate earthly Noah's Ark city now.

The gates here are extremely powerful. Let alone scratching through them, even missiles may not be able to blast them open with one shot. Of course, the most important thing is that these scorched people will not destroy the gates inside this base, because they The chip in his brain is still connected to the main system, and there is a program in the chip that prohibits destroying the door. "

Lintang listened with great interest: "It's fun. There is also a plot here to introduce some background stories of the post-apocalyptic wasteland. It is interesting. According to what you said, if you hack into the host all the way, wouldn't you be able to control these charred people for our use? ? If these things can be controlled. Good guy! We will wipe out all the monsters around the base! Level up to 10 levels in one day!"

Long Yi: "Theoretically speaking, it's possible! But since this is a game, I don't think the game planner will leave such obvious loopholes for us to exploit. It is estimated that a program air wall will appear at the last step, which makes me unable to How to enter the settings of Hongcheng's host, etc. In short, you know, the plot is not enough, the system will make it up, don't ask, just ask for the settings."

Polar Bear: "Good guy, you know a lot about online writing. The game is actually quite similar to the online writing. They both have the core of upgrading and killing monsters."

A few people were chatting and walking on Hongcheng Street.

Long Yi added: "Currently, I can only control a small part of the gate. In order to get those computers, I planned a route to the warehouse, so this is the only road I can take. Come with me."

The special agent team moved forward, and Xigou and the others followed.

Lao Ao thought for a while and suddenly said: "That's not right."

Xigou: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Although Lao Ao usually talks very little and is always a tool for the team, but whenever he speaks, it is very important information.

Lao Ao pointed to the closed street and said: "Since the Jiaohua people have been isolated and they can go to the warehouse to get things, why do they still need to take us with them? Aren't they afraid that we will come to grab resources? Or they have too many resources. If you can’t finish moving, give us some points? It’s not very logical.”

"Hahaha~ Smart." Wei Long had a good ear and said with a smile after hearing it.

"The reason why I invite you here is actually for two things, and I need your help."

"These controllable gates block us in a relatively peripheral area, which is roughly equivalent to the suburbs of this city. It is the place where outsiders will enter immediately, so there have been many scavengers picking up everything before us. Gone and most locations were almost empty!

We have already moved all the resources that can be moved. In the current situation, if we want to change the rise and fall of the gate, it will inevitably cause a fierce battle. At that time, we will need your combat power to work with us to deal with some of the Scorched People who rush in. "

"The other thing is that we found a hidden door in the computer room where we were moving computers, but we couldn't open it. Judging from my intuition, I felt that there were some important props or clues in that door."
