Chapter 1423: Seizing life, special mechanism!
Time flies.
Since the introduction of the Guidance Act, three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is the day when version 5.0 of ‘God Gambling Battle’ is launched.
August 18th, Year Two of the Wasteland Calendar.
Six o'clock in the morning.
There are still two hours until the release.
Sumo woke up early, biting into a thin-skinned meat bun with large fillings. He left the small courtyard and went to the Stone Village for a walk.
Due to the dual impact of the bill and the impending disaster, it is inevitable that there will be a certain loss of people in the village.
About one-fifth of the people chose to leave the village and join the surrounding territories, intending to avoid the limelight first.
Wait until the disaster is over or the situation stabilizes before making other plans.
The people who didn't leave were obviously affected by the Boulder Territory, and they all looked a little sick.
On the way, they met the two brothers from the Niu family. After smelling the aroma of the meat buns in Sumo's hand, the two couldn't help but swallowed, with a trace of unconcealable desire flashing in their eyes.
But in the end, everyone knew it well and did not say hello, walking in different directions with a distance of four or five meters.
From the initial bid to the silent competition now.
With the initial completion of the peripheral construction of the Stone Territory, the young men in Stone Village who were waiting to see the joke were undoubtedly slapped in the face.
Fortunately, the words "Boulder Territory" are not included in the latest territory list released by the Golden Giant Eagle.
Otherwise a large number of survivors would pour in, and this group of people would be so angry that one Buddha would be born and two Buddhas would ascend to heaven.
Of course, it’s hard to feel better now.
The plot of land that was selected long ago has been built into a territory by others, causing a group of people to have nowhere to go even if they want to leave.
And in the past, they could find ways to join through the back door through acquaintances within the Golden Eagle.
Now that the bill is enacted, contribution points are required, which is equivalent to cutting off the biggest escape route.
After about a circle, Somo walked back to the mountain village from the mountain road with guardrails and smooth road surface.
At present, a total of three villages have been built.
According to the distance from Stone Village, they are: Tianzhai, Dizhai and Renzhai.
Among them, Tianzhai is the facade of the Boulder Territory, and the construction materials are the most luxurious. The gate and foundation of the village are basically made of giant trees that only two people can surround.
The materials used in the underground village and the human village are slightly inferior, but they are still above the average level in the surrounding territories.
With the unique geographical advantages of Jushi Mountain, you are not afraid of small-scale enemy intrusion at all.
Click, click.
Occasionally, the dead branches blown down by the wind were stepped on by Somo, making a crisp and harsh sound.
Going all the way up, about three hundred meters away from the village gate, several guards hiding in the dark immediately stepped forward, very disciplined.
"Boss Ji, did you get up so early today?"
The guard captain is a middle-aged man with a Chinese character in his late fifties named Lou Zhigang.
Like most unlucky survivors, Lou Zhigang was full of expectations before coming to Golden Eagle.
Imagine that you can find a job with a good salary, and imagine that your family can live in a big house.
Imagine that my wife can stop working so hard, and imagine that my children will no longer be afraid of natural disasters.
However, reality severely shattered his dream. The long queue of 800,000 people in front of him made him once again see the absurdity of the wasteland and the ugliness of human nature.
Maybe there is no paradise in the wasteland, but only hells.
What distinguishes each hell is the degree of pain that everyone can feel.
Considering that the supplies were far from enough for the family to last until the end of the queue, Lou Zhigang could only look around for ways to earn supplies, and happened to encounter Lao Zhang recruiting workers.
At first, when he heard that he was going to build a territory and face the heavy workload, Lou Zhigang refused in his heart and was frightened.
But facing the expectant looks of his wife and children, he gritted his teeth and came.
That morning, Lou Zhigang still remembered that he was ready to be squeezed hard.
But until the end of work, until the fragrant meat porridge was scooped into the bowl with a big spoon, he still couldn't believe that all this was real.
Although the work here is arduous, it is not oppressive at all. It is even like modern times, with clearly marked prices.
The more you work, the more you get.
The less you work, the less you get.
Such a simple rule has become the biggest pursuit of survivors today.
And Lao Zhang, the lord, has no airs. Although he looks fierce, his words make people feel friendly.
For several days, Lou Zhigang even had an illusion.
This is the golden giant eagle, this is the kind of territory he dreams about and wants to go to in every dream!
Therefore, even if the Golden Eagle has issued a guidance bill to exclude the Boulder territory, he still does not hesitate to stay with his family.
And Lou Zhigang had the same idea. Currently, there are about 200 people staying in the village and unwilling to leave.
After finishing their work, they all came without hesitation with their families, planning to use this as a base.
“It’s getting late, not many people can sleep today.”
Sumo smiled and said hello.
The last major version update of the game is coming soon, and even the most arrogant survivor had a sleepless night last night.
Coupled with the impending disaster of the highest level, the atmosphere in the wasteland will inevitably return to its former dignity.
Enter Tianzhai.
The entire village is built against the mountain, with three large and small platforms separated from halfway up the mountain.
The bottom platform has an area of about 30,000 square meters and is mainly used for housing. Currently, more than 20 stone houses have been built using local materials.
The stone steps are winding and connect each house.
Bathing in the morning light, everyone was indeed not sleeping in. Some were busy repairing the fortifications, while others were preparing food. The smoke from the cooking pots curled up and intertwined with the light mist in the mountains, adding to the cold atmosphere. The villages on the mountain add a bit of warmth to life.
When Sumo came in from outside, a group of people who were familiar with him came up to say hello cordially.
When asked about Boss Ji, Sumo responded with a smile and a nod.
Compared with the sick young men at the foot of the mountain, the women and children in the village are obviously in much better spirits.
This is the power of hope.
Living in this environment for a long time, a good mental state will give people more physical strength and energy. I also have more time to think about problems, and I am no longer just dawdling around in confusion, just to live simply.
Going up from the first-level platform, the area of the second-level platform is slightly smaller, only two-thirds.
As the current ‘industrial area’ of the Boulder Territory, there are also more than a dozen stone houses built on the platform.
Lao Zhang was standing in front of a stone house with a 'alchemy room' hanging on it. When he saw Somo walking over, he couldn't help but burst out in joy.
"Boss Ji, this guidance bill has really helped us a lot."
"Oh? How did it help us?" Sumo smiled, "I remember it two days ago. Are you still so angry that you want to eat the person who made this bill alive?”
“Hey, I was so angry that this bad bill discriminated against our Boulder Territory. Who told them to exclude us? Outside." Lao Zhang said with a quick smile.
“However, having said that, if the medicines produced in the past two days were sold before, not many survivors would be willing to exchange the materials. After all, they did not know how many days they would have to queue to get in.
Now, a group of people will be driven to surrounding territories. Instead of waiting for the accumulated materials in their hands to depreciate during the autumn harvest, it is better to exchange them for value-preserving things like medicine as soon as possible. "
"That's true of you. "Sumo nodded slightly.
It is not difficult to chemically synthesize simple antibiotics. The detailed production methods have long been announced on the World Channel.
Not to mention a super territory like the Golden Giant Eagle. , even some small territories with a population of less than 10,000 can produce independently.
However, being able to produce does not mean that it can be sold to the outside world, and being able to do so does not mean that it is effective.
Among the first batch of antibiotics produced, Sumo specially brought a bottle of psionic water and asked Lao Zhang to add it.
The effect seems to be quite good.
“When I went to promote the sale, the survivors knew about our Boulder Territory and didn’t pay the bill at all.
But as you said, I will first find a few people who are sick. I gave him a free trial to prove the efficacy of the medicine, and promised not to charge him for it if it didn’t work. Soon after, he was robbed of all the medicine.” Territory is convenient. Even if we don’t make the list, we still have a large scale in the eyes of ordinary survivors, and they are not afraid of us running away.”
"At present, the second batch of drugs produced has been booked in advance, and a lot of materials can be exchanged for it."
"Well, you can continue to follow the plan for this part, but you have to pay attention to one thing. The medicine produced in the second batch has no additional ingredients and will not be as effective as the first batch," Sumo warned.
"I have already vaccinated the people who made the reservation." Lao Zhang responded, "The price we made is only one-third of the golden giant eagle. The first wave of publicity made us famous. As long as each subsequent batch is guaranteed to have the same efficacy as the medicines produced by Golden Eagle, there is no need to worry about no buyers.”
“And the first batch of medicines were really eye-catching at the beginning. I thought the reaction of several people was that they were invited by us. They had such a headache, and within a few minutes of eating one piece, everything went away."
" Haha," Su Mo just laughed.
Everyone knows the effects of psionic water.
Even if it is not mixed into pills, just drinking a bottle can cure ordinary ailments and disasters immediately.
However, due to production limitations, even dozens of kilograms of medicine plus one bottle would add up to an astronomical figure.
Putting it in Tianyuan territory, unless it is a serious illness, this kind of special medicine will not be sold to outsiders at all.
"Oh, but this guidance bill is also quite fatal. Our recruitment prices have increased now." Lao Zhang changed the topic and showed a little sadness.
"When those people heard that they did not contribute points to work in our territory, they had to pay more material rewards before they were willing to come. Fortunately, this big framework was set up before. Otherwise, if we invite people over in the next few days, it would be much better. It’s enough to spend twice the amount of supplies.”
“They are also crazy. They have to work in those territories for six months to get a illusory entry qualification. I heard that these territories are very important to survivors. The wages are so high that no matter how hard you work, you can only get enough food and clothing for two meals a day. If you slack off a little, it will be difficult for you to have enough to eat."
Lao Zhang said, but. He had forgotten that he was so "crazy" when he was in the Hoshino Territory before.
Just to survive, he dared to risk his life by jumping into the Giant Dragon Fairy River to catch fish.
“This is just the beginning. The real squeeze will not begin until the second and third batches of small territories are formed. Now this group of people is really lucky.”
< br>
Lao Zhang's heart moved slightly, obviously he understood what Sumo was talking about.
But even if you understand it, what can you do now?
The Golden Eagle with a population of nine figures is the initiator. It is a huge stone territory with only a few hundred people, perhaps not as many workers as a factory.
Even if you stand up and speak out now, it will only add to the laughter.
“Keep developing, the problem will be solved one day.”
Su Mo actually already had a way to deal with it in his heart, but now was not the time to talk to Lao Zhang.
After chatting for a while, watching the time approaching eight o'clock, Sumo left the alchemy room and walked onto the third level platform.
Compared to the two platforms below, the area of the third-level platform is only about the size of six football fields.
The potholes left by previous mining have not been leveled off, and they are in a semi-abandoned state for the time being.
But the view here is really excellent. Looking over, you can see a whole winding giant dragon fairy river passing by in the distance.
Looking far into the distance, one can faintly see the 'Tyrell Territory' located on the plains several kilometers away.
Although it is only separated by a river, the Tyrell territory, which is included in the guidance act, is ten times larger than the boulder.
Especially in the past two days, there has been an influx of people visible to the naked eye, and a black dot has covered the ground, which is full of vitality.
Suddenly, Su Mo raised his eyebrows, feeling something in his heart, and the system panel opened automatically.
“It’s strange, I’m not in the territory, but I can still count?”
After the words fell, Sumo couldn't help but shake his head.
Now that it is clear that survival points are obtained by stealing positive vitality, it does not actually matter whether he is in the territory or not.
And after the version upgrade, the system has made detailed distinctions between various survival points.
Thinking about it now, at that time it was actually reminding him from the side of what the source of the survival point was.
The so-called vitality.
A building rises from the ground, a technology is researched from scratch, an item is combined and manufactured, and even diseases are cured under the influence of immunity.
All these civilizational developments, social progress, and individual changes will produce more or less positive forces.
This is why the V1.1 version subdivides four survival points: construction, items, technology, and special ones. It can better subdivide vitality. Construction is used for buildings, and technology is used for With technological iteration, all types of vitality will no longer be wasted on one item.
The ability of the system is to seize the vitality of this part on a wide scale.
So how to define this scope, or how to seize the vitality around it?
For a long time, the system did not specify this in detail, causing Somo to subconsciously think that it can only be triggered when he is in or around the territory.
But now the question finally has the right answer.
“Whether it is to seize the area or to place it, it should be necessary to accumulate enough influence in one place.”
“Now I have indirectly created the boulder territory here, and After staying for nearly a month and reaching the influence requirement, we can seize the vitality generated by this area.”
