This Game is Too Real

  Chapter 51 The Economic System of Wasteland OL

The first day of the   alpha0.3 release.

   The test results of the new version are quite gratifying.

  Under the division of labor and cooperation of the players, first of all, the wall around the outpost was finally completed.

  These three-meter-high concrete fortifications not only bring a sense of security, but also create possibilities for players to play at night.

   Before 6 o'clock in the evening, Chu Guang would take the players back to the sanctuary to prevent these guys from being taken away by the aliens who went out for food.

   And now with the protection of the wall, as long as the players are willing, it is also possible to stay on the surface until the characters in the game start to fall asleep (the fatigue value is exhausted).

   Of course, for the sake of safety, Chu Guang still prohibits players from using blast furnaces and other facilities with open flames at night.

   During the day, it’s okay to make steel and burn cement. The woods block a lot of smoke and dust, and the firelight during the day is not so obvious. But if it's night, it's not a good idea.

  The mutant tribe on 76th Street is like a thorn stuck in the throat of the outpost. Unless this thorn is pulled out, Chu Guang can't feel at ease.

  In addition to the wall, the weapon store and the bathhouse were also completed with the efforts of the players. It's not very luxurious, but it's already usable.

   Especially the bathroom with partitions, Chu Guang was simply too satisfied.

   Before, whether it was him or the player, he had to go to the lake to wash up. Now that there is a bathhouse, the hygiene problem can be solved directly in the base.

   Of course, the wooden water tank at the top of the bathhouse can only store 5 cubic meters of water.

   At this time, someone needs to manually transport the water from the lake to the water tank, and the people inside can continue to wash. The trouble is indeed a little troublesome.

  Therefore, the wise and great administrator is considering changing the bathhouse from a public facility to a charging facility, charging 5 copper coins per cubic meter of water. At the same time, set up an additional water carrier position, responsible for filling the water tank at the top of the bathhouse.

   This is reasonable.

   On the other hand, in addition to engineering, the players' performance in production, gathering, hunting, and crafting was also beyond Chu Guang's expectations.

The emergence of    currency has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of players to produce (game).

   Just listening to the ding ding bang in the purse can dispel the fatigue and weakness of the limbs, and let them fight for their posts with high fighting spirit.

   Among them, the best performing team is still the Niu Ma Squad.

   The four old leeks are worthy of being high-level players. The quadrilateral tactics integrate reconnaissance, front row, output, and support.

  As of the evening, they had hunted and killed eight mutant hyenas and one mutant reindeer while exploring south along the elevated road.

  The proceeds from the sale of the prey are equivalent to 55 silver coins - 43 of which are mutant hyenas and 12 are mutant reindeer.

  Although the meat harvest rate of mutant hyenas and mutant reindeer is not high, usually only 40%, not more than 50%.

   But even so, the scrambled egg brother who served as a temporary butcher still obtained more than 100 kilograms of hyena meat and more than 100 kilograms of venison from these prey.

   These meats will be made into bacon and stored in warehouses. Before being made into bacon, players can also spend money to buy fresh raw meat for their own dinner.

  It is worth mentioning that the original outposts all ate big pot rice, and the scrambled egg brother who served as the cook arranged the recipes of two meals a day every day.

   What players can eat depends on the chef's mood and what prey the manager just brought back that day.

   And now it is completely different.

  The granary of the base will be open to all players, and the price is fair and affordable. One silver coin can be exchanged for 1 kilogram of green wheat, or 300g of raw meat, or 200g of bacon jerky.

  What is the concept of 1 silver coin?

  According to the rules designed by Chu Guang, 1 silver coin is converted into 10 copper coins, which is probably the median income of players in one hour.

   In other words, most players can buy food to fill their stomachs as long as they work hard for 1~2 hours, or do some tasks patiently.

   As for whether the players will take the purchased food directly into their mouths, or add condiments to cook them into green wheat porridge or wheat cakes, or eat together with other people or even trade, players can decide for themselves.

   Chu Guang had calculated an account when designing this simple economic system.

  A mutant hyena weighing over 30 kilograms can remove almost 12 kilograms of meat by shaving off the inedible internal organs and head.

   Buy prey from hunters at a base price of 5 silver coins, hire a butcher to slaughter the meat at an average cost of 2 silver coins, cramp and peel the skin, and the total cost is no more than 7 zero-cost silver coins.

   Assuming that 12 kilograms of meat are removed, according to the price of 1 silver coin for 300g of raw meat, 12 kilograms is 40 silver!

The production value of   40 silver coins, the production cost of 7 silver coins, and the circulation cost can be ignored, so in this simple economic chain, there will be a surplus value of 33 silver coins.

   This number has no meaning to the players, after all, they are playing games, but for Chu Guang, who is the manager, it means too much.

   As long as this economic chain of "from prey to raw meat" can continue, each operation can provide "raw meat worth 33 silver coins" and "furs worth several silver coins" to the outpost's granary.

   Of course, it is impossible for players to consume all the raw meat, and even if they take out all the money in their pockets, it is impossible to buy all the things they produce, and it is not suitable to eat too much.

Therefore, in addition to a small part of the meat purchased by the players with the silver coins he issued, more raw meat will be left as "raw material" into the new economic chain, and stored in the granary in the form of air-dried meat as a refuge food reserves.

   In addition to the industry of "from prey to dried meat", cutting trees, picking up garbage, burning cement, moving bricks, gathering, and fishing are basically similar economic models.

  Through the two levers of price and task remuneration, you can easily adjust the inventory of various materials and the focus of players' work at the current stage.

  For example, now that the wall has been built, the base's demand for plastering and moving bricks has dropped, and instead more food and weapons are needed to feed and arm more players.

   Therefore, Chu Guang will appropriately lower the price of weapons in the woodworking hut, stimulate players to order weapons and upgrade equipment, and at the same time increase the purchase price of prey, and urge powerful players to use the purchased weapons to hunt and improve their proficiency.

   In this way, players have money, equipment, and experience in combat. And Chu Guang's side not only obtained a large amount of food reserves, but also a group of soldiers with abundant military virtues.

   is simply a win-win!

   No, it should be a triple win!

  Because of Chu Guang, who is the manager, he can win twice!

  Those coins are like catalysts, which obviously did not create any value, but revitalized the economy of the entire outpost.

  Chu Guang felt that he was a genius.

   The only small problem that came up was that no one was cooking today.

  Brother scrambled eggs hasn't saved enough money yet, and the restaurant hasn't opened yet.

And in order to save money, almost everyone went to the warehouse to buy a subsistence allowance. They used 1 silver coin to buy a kilogram of croissants. Several teammates rented a big pot and set it on fire. to the next person.

   It’s not a problem if it’s not cooked properly. This thing can be eaten raw, it’s just a matter of hygiene and taste.

   It seems that for a moment, everyone who has a goal of struggle suddenly does not pay attention to the quality of the food, and has carried forward the style of hard work to the extreme. The only requirement is that you can eat enough!

   Only the crow is different.

   Everyone else is happily eating potatoes, but she can't even afford potatoes.

  Because the manager forgot to give her a minimum guarantee, and because she went online too late and couldn't find a teammate, she was sitting in the corner with a grudge and nibbling on sour berries and mushrooms.

   In the end, Teng Teng couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked over and shared her half a bowl of croissant mashed potatoes.

   Looking at the gobbling crow, Fujito couldn't bear to ridicule her, and said with a sigh.

   "From tomorrow onwards, you have to work hard to earn money, I can't keep you up all the time."

   Ya Ya hugged Fuji Teng moved.

   "Teng Teng, are you an angel!"

   Looking at Yaya with tears in her eyes, Ivy Teng, whose face was squeezed out of shape, sighed, and blushing came out from under her arm.

   "...what stupid things are you talking about."

  The sky is getting darker.

   Chu Guang, who was walking in the base, was inspecting his territory and the situation of the players.

  Although most players want to stay for a while, but after two hours, it will be dawn on the other side, and the migrant workers will have to go to work after washing up.

  Chu Guang thought that it was not too early, and was about to call them to gather, but at this moment, there was a knock on the north gate of the base.

   A group of players looked towards the door, Chu Guang's right hand also subconsciously grasped the pistol in his pocket, but soon released it.

   He confirmed through the player list that the people outside should be trash.

   Looking at the two players closest to him, Chu Guang ordered.

   "Fang Chang, Lao Bai, go open the door."

"Yes!"

   Fang Chang and Lao Bai trotted forward, lifted the latch stuck on the door, and together they pulled the wooden door open a crack.

   Fang Chang and Lao Bai were startled when they saw Jun Jun who came in through the crack of the door.

   "What the hell?"

   "Brother what are you doing?!"

Blood!

   All over!

  Although some of the wounds have healed, most of them are bite wounds and gunshot wounds that are visible to the naked eye.

   Seeing Jun Jun's appearance, Chu Guang frowned slightly. He probably guessed what happened to this guy.

   Fortunately, if the opponent regards it as a different species, and it is not very tasty, it is unlikely to pursue it.

   Ignoring his injuries, Jun Jun walked quickly to the manager and said, panting.

   "The raider's camp! It's about 2 kilometers north of the abandoned construction site, and about 3 to 4 kilometers away from us! There is a tire factory!"

   Ye Shi couldn't help but ask: "You had a fight with them?"

   "No no, I swear I didn't mess with them!"

   Junkman quickly waved his hand to clarify, took a peek at the manager and continued, "I was planning to retreat at the time, but I just ran into their patrol... I saw three of them."

  Ye Ten: "And then you still had **** with them?"

   Junk Jun looked embarrassed and looked away.

   "Uh... I was bumped into it, there's nothing I can do."

   It looks like this guy must have lost.

   But it's not surprising, the three-person patrol should also bring a dog, and the bite on its body probably came from here.

   Although this guy has an absolute advantage in panel data, he may not be able to gain benefits by fighting with experienced predator veterans.

   I was lucky to be able to run back.

   "Is it the tire factory in the north, I know," Chu Guang nodded, looked at Jun Jun and said, "Go back to the training cabin to rest first."

The    culture cabin has the function of accelerating the repair of tissue cells for the clones synthesized by itself. Coupled with the physical attributes of Junk Jun, it should not take long for him to recover.

   "Yes, Mr. Manager." After that, Jun Trash shook his tail and limped towards the sanatorium.

   On the way, many players noticed his situation and whispered in a low voice.

   "This guy is so badly injured!"

   "I heard that the raider camp was discovered."

   "The raider camp?! Are you going to open a new instance!"

   "Brilliant!"

   "Damn, I have to hurry up and buy a gun!"

   "Hey, I'm confused, should I buy the land or the gun first?"

   "Don't be stupid, let's move the bricks first."

   Obviously, these players did not realize the difficulty of the problem, but were discussing there with excitement.

   This is also understandable.

   It's a game for them after all.

   Only Chu Guang, the manager, had a hint of urgency on his brows.

   To the north is the raider camp, to the east is the mutant's lair, to the west is Ling Lake, and to the south is the area where the survivors of Bate Street and Brown's Farm are active.

The location of the    outpost is really not very good, and the development space is limited.

   "Both marauders or mutants."

   "If you want to open up the situation, you can only fight with one..."

  Chu Guang has already thought about the content of the next expansion.
