Chapter 914 The Desolate Bone Tribe! Tian Yuan heads to kill! (Happy New Year's Eve~)
Thanks to the reduced fees during the trial operation phase on the first day, most people exchanged copper coins for a full meal.
But there are still a small number of unlucky people who either have to wait in line or come back late from scavenging, so they can only lie in bed hungry and wait for the day to arrive.
Chen Shen sent the first day’s data.
About 90% of scavengers currently have items in their hands that are converted into funds, and the average amount is about 10 iron coins.
Those villagers who choose to complete the task have a fixed income that fluctuates between 6 and 15 per day.
Therefore, 10 iron coins is roughly the average income of villagers at the current stage.
“Through today’s test and the collection of villagers’ opinions, we have tentatively set the price of raw materials for a meal at 2 iron coins. Those contractors in the canteen purchase the materials for processing. After renting the venue and tools, the ex-factory price of meals should be around 3 iron coins.”
“Including washing, bathing, renting tools, purchasing materials, etc., basically”
"Ordinary people can save one or two iron coins after spending money."
One day's income balance is enough to buy a full meal?
Ah this
This income is simply pitiful compared to the civilized era.
Sumo was convinced that he definitely did not want to make money from these things, nor did he want to be an unscrupulous capitalist to squeeze the villagers' labor force.
“This is already the price after subsidies from the village. In fact, according to the purchasing power of labor in other places in the wasteland, one day’s income is only enough for them to have half full meals in the morning and evening. It is impossible to have another meal. The remaining income from a full meal.”
"In addition, we need to suppress their income in the early stage and use time to observe the strength of each route. Otherwise, if one route generates too much income, it will easily cause an imbalance in the economic balance in the village."
" "Dog Plan" Hao Qiang explained aloud that this was the first time he had copied the economic operation method in the game into reality.
A very simple truth.
A certain profession in the game earns gold too fast. Planning only needs to use a knife to ensure balance by slightly weakening it.
Faced with such a patch update, players have only two choices: play or not play.
But in reality, if we do this, the management costs and restructuring costs that will be sunk have to be taken into consideration. It is possible that the chain reaction caused by one change will require ten subsequent changes to smooth it out.
"That's okay, then let's implement it according to your plan first."
After listening to these manually compiled data reports for a while, Sumo couldn't help but nodded, and tentatively confirmed the current situation. strategic plan.
At the same time, a comprehensive management tool that can integrate data for analysis and compile statistics into charts is naturally on the agenda.
Now it takes dozens of people a whole day just to count the data for 10,000 people.
And that's not counting the time that may be lost if there are errors or omissions.
“I hope this artificial intelligence will bring some surprises after the life fusion is completed tomorrow.”
Back to the bedroom on the third floor, I glanced at the small square on the bedside and was about to leave. When the time was up, Somo stretched himself and went to sleep contentedly.
However, the joys and sorrows of people are not the same.
In the fifth floor area, which is dozens of kilometers away, there are hundreds of people staying awake all night tonight.
"Damn it. Where did these damn guys come from?"
Standing on the roof of Building 2 with many cracks, Huang Xiong held the telescope in his hand and kept scanning the thin fog below. There is a place where light rises.
The other party seemed extremely arrogant and crazy. They had no intention of breaking through and trying the hidden tricks arranged on each floor. They clearly wanted to completely surround them and die in this building.
For now, 272 years after the war, this kind of competition for food reserves is simply a naked "show off wealth", which is enough to make Huangxiong think hard and not understand.
It was just a heavy fog that suddenly fell. Where did these strange faces come from? ?
Although they wore shabby and patched clothes, they had sophisticated pre-war weapons in their hands.
Especially the man wearing black power armor before, he was still speaking in bad pre-war language. Want to talk?
What to talk about?
Go to the nuclear radiation area in the suburbs to find batteries?
The farm is short of people and you want to grab some slaves to plant the land?
Or do you want to find some local people who know valuable guide points around you?
The more he recalled, the more Huang Xiong felt that the man in black armor looked like the old popsicles who had woken up from the underground, always trying to use this gentle method to negotiate.
Don’t he know that when everyone in the wasteland meets after the war, they should make their goals and demands clear as soon as possible?
"Brother, do you want to keep guarding while I go down to negotiate with them? This group of people doesn't look like those vicious jackals who want to tear a piece of meat from us. Maybe we can Ask them, what do they need?”
Standing next to Wild Bear is his younger brother Wild Wolf.
In the prosperous world before the war, everyone still had a gentle name. In the wasteland world after the war, mankind has returned to the era of using simple pronouns for names. People will be named after the most powerful prey they have killed, or add their favorite weapons, food, items, and victory results to their names.
There was a time when the two brothers were not called by this name, but in a swarm of mutant beasts, they were lucky enough to hunt two powerful mutant creatures.
A bear and a wolf.
Naturally, the two brothers changed their names from here, and began to use this achievement to gradually gain prestige in the surrounding areas, gathering a group of old, weak, sick and disabled to form a small survival group.
“No, it’s too dangerous for you to continue testing like this. What if the other party seizes the opportunity.”
Huang Xiong's eyes flickered. The only thing everyone could rely on now was the various facilities carefully arranged in this building. Only here could they be qualified to negotiate with the intruders.
In past crises, as long as they could hide inside the building, the other party would often choose to retreat after testing.
Only this time
As one of the organizers, if the wild wolf is captured by the opponent.
“But there is some truth in what you said. We need to find out this as soon as possible. The details of the gang,”
Huangxiong thought carefully for a moment and finally agreed to the previous proposal.
There is not much food in stock, and it can last everyone a week at most.
The surrounding fog is extremely strange. It is difficult to see clearly beyond one kilometer, and it will become blind if it is more than two kilometers away.
If we don’t find out what happened as soon as possible, the Barren Bone Tribe, which makes a living by scavenging and hunting, will not be able to maintain peace for long even if it is not surrounded by these weirdos.
At present, there are not many people he can trust in the entire tribe, and Wild Wolf is indeed the best choice.
"Brother, please take Huter for a walk."
"I saw a lot of people coming in their direction during the day. You can take advantage of the night to go there and take a look. Let’s see their background.”
Pointing to the route that the scavengers took in the village during the day, Huang Xiong coughed lightly and whispered a few words.
Expecting to use that pile of scrap metal to deter these people is equivalent to hitting an egg against a stone.
But what if, if the opponent also has a "weak spot" in the rear.
Even if the Desolate Bone Tribe cannot use this weakness as a threat, it can at least have some advantages in negotiations.
"Okay, I'll go take a look right now."
The wild wolf turned his head and tightened the straps on his body, revealing his strong body underneath.
Not long after.
On the top of the thirty-sixth floor, two dark figures jumped down from the edge, gliding down and flying into the distance like big birds. Heavy fog is the best cover.
Even though the soldiers below have been watching intently, they never expected that the other party would have such a means of escape.
The Hope Village at night is shrouded in mist, looking quiet and peaceful.
Unlike the origin camp of free-range development, as long as you can afford the funds or materials to repair the house, you can find a way to enclose the land and build a house yourself.
At this stage, it is hoped that the use of every piece of land in the village and the planned location of every building need to be approved by the village. Even if the land is subsequently purchased, the details must be discussed with the village’s housing and construction department first. and planning before construction can begin.
Nowadays, the village entrance square, which is bustling with people during the day, has been leveled several times by excavators in the past few days. It is paved with even gravel paths and separated into stalls for trading.
Going through the square, the renovated entrance to the village is very grand and is divided into two floors.
The outer layer is hung with hand-made fence gates, which have extraordinary defense. Each frame is as thick as a forearm. As long as it is closed at critical moments, it is enough to withstand a normal impact.
The inner layer is a wooden door made of rare "wood". If a large number of outsiders come in and out during the day, they can be closed to leave a passage for inspection.
Following the fence gate to the surrounding area is the recently built defensive fence, which is about one and two meters high, no more, no less, and it just surrounds the village.
Of course, in today's high-humidity environment, a fence made of pure iron will probably be seriously corroded in a short time.
But it doesn't matter, every railing is connected to the terminal's energy transformer at night, and the intermittent output is high enough to make people faint after being touched.
As long as it can survive this most difficult time and can mass-produce concrete, the village will be able to build a second reliable barrier immediately and turn this place into a castle with extremely high security.
"It's so comfortable. This kind of patrol mission is just giving away money. It's much more comfortable than those missions during the day!"
"And it also restricts those of us who have chosen reserve soldiers to take it. , just don’t have to compete with those crazy scavengers for tasks.”
"Speaking of which, you can go out to scavenge during the day and come back to work at night."
"Good guy, are you afraid that someone will come over and give you a hard time at night?"
" I'm afraid of a hammer, I really don't believe that anyone can touch the territory without being discovered by the sentry along the way."
"."
The fog fell, and the aboriginal people began to appear in the wasteland.
In addition to routine guard patrols, the village has added several night tasks facing the villagers.
Patrol around the village, check the integrity of the infrastructure, perform point-to-point duty, etc.
Of course, it is completely sufficient to rely solely on the current guard team of more than 300 people to perform these simple tasks.
But considering that the scope of activities in the territory will increase in the future, more and more aspects will be involved.
Relying solely on the guards can only protect the safety of the villages within the range.
Somo needs a group of villagers who can become free combatants. These people can be hired by caravans as bodyguards, can cooperate with scavengers to search for important resources outside the territory, or can spontaneously set up organizations to complete some tasks beyond the reach of the escort team.
Nowadays, these night activities are the first step in training these people.
Walk under the electric fence on the east side of the village.
"Yuyou Fire King" and "Precise Dakun" hold iron knives and are responsible for the security of the entire southern wall of the village.
Neither of them were the first residents of the Tianyuan Territory, and both came here with the subsequent relocation of the origin camp.
After experiencing those precarious days, they cherished their current stable life.
Now walking by the wall, both of them widened their eyes, eager to find any clues that might reveal the enemy.
But unfortunately, it’s a full circle.
Not to mention the traces left by the enemy, not even one of our own footprints was seen.
The security of Tianyuan territory is terrible. Hope Village’s powerful multiple protections make it almost impossible for any creature to break through.
Stopping at the middle position on the south side, the two simply squatted down and passed the night patrol time with small talk.
Accurate Dakun: "It would be great if the guard team in the village recruits more people. We chose these reserve soldiers. As a result, we can only take on these simple tasks to make money. In the future, we can open a weapons store to make up for it. I don’t know how long it will take to get a gun.”
Yuyou Firepower King: “Gathering a gun? I’d be satisfied if I could just buy a crossbow, let alone a gun!” Recycling, you have to buy a steady stream of bullets to buy a gun, so how can you maintain your current income? "
Accurate Kun: "That makes sense, but our route must be upgraded. To participate in the battle, the points given by other channels are pitiful. If you don't buy a gun, it will be a disaster if the other party has one."
Yuyou Fire King: "Don't worry, brother is a bowman on earth. Gold Medal Coach of the Crossbow Club, don’t think that a crossbow is just a dry arrow. We just need to add some simple explosives or stuff some violently burning ahem. Anyway, for sneak attacks, you only need to know that the crossbow seems to be no worse than a gun. That’s it.”
Accurate Dakun: "It's too much punishment. If we can really make this thing, we also need a feather gun. The cost of crossbows is so low."
Yuyou Fire King: "It's not necessary to open a store in the territory anyway. What kind of license certificate or route restrictions? I just thought that if we use it well, we can open a weapons store to sell this kind of modified ordinary weapons. They are cheaper than guns and are easier to use. Wouldn’t it be easy to sell them? "
Thinking about his future life, Fire King Yoyo showed a slightly idiotic smile on his face.
Although we are still far away from these, facts have proven more than once that there are too many opportunities in the wasteland.
As long as you are like those individual scavengers who go out to make a fortune during the day, you can get this kind of stuff that falls from the sky.
Wait
Looking up to the sky, Yoyo Fire King's eyes suddenly focused.
In the hazy fog, he seemed to see two black objects swooping down and swaying left and right.
Like a nimble eagle, and like a ship about to capsize in the sea.
It wasn’t until he got closer that Yoyo Fire King could barely see the figure of the opponent clearly. They were two humanoid creatures wearing special costumes!
"Fuck. Enemy attack!"
Zhi Dakun on the side was attracted by his startled breath and saw two figures landing on the ground more than ten meters away.
Come just now?
The opportunity that I was looking forward to just now flew down from the sky so quickly?
The two of them held the iron knives in their hands tightly and slowly lay on the ground, not daring to move, for fear of attracting each other's attention.
The human form not only means that they are human beings, but also some alien races are not much different in appearance from humans.
Judging from the scene where the other party landed slowly from a high altitude just now, this kind of strength is completely beyond what they can handle.
Faced with such a powerful and extremely cautious enemy, the best way is to notify the territory through the patrol channel and let the escort team come to deal with it.
Although some rewards will be shared, the security is more difficult than
.
The Yoyo Fire King is still brainstorming, quickly judging the strength of the enemy and ourselves and how to deal with it.
A harsh electric shock sound suddenly came from the front, accompanied by the precise exclamation of Da Kun.
“Damn it, double kill on the fence!”
