Chapter 8 The reward is a bit small
After roughly discussing the plan, everyone began to dismantle the Brontosaurus and transport it back part by part.
"Brothers, I have to say that there is something special about this worker bee. It is not that big, but it can easily lift things dozens of times larger than itself without any pressure."
On the way back, Xianyu held up a piece of dragon meat dozens of times larger than himself and sighed with emotion.
"This is so abnormal. According to the official website, the Zerg are the race in this universe that have taken evolution to the extreme. They are existences that can carry battleships with their bodies.
As a member of the Zerg, the strength of the worker bee cannot be underestimated even if it is a basic unit, and the main role of the worker bee is to mine resources and transport minerals. "The Emperor Penguin replied.
"If I remember correctly, according to the introduction, the worker bee can lift hundreds of times more weight than itself.
And this is a worker bee that has not invested any evolution points. If it invests evolution points to evolve into a higher-level worker bee, it is possible to evolve thousands or tens of thousands times. ”
"Take the Brontosaurus as an example. It's not a creature of the same magnitude as the worker bees. Logically speaking, it's impossible for us to defeat it.
But because of the racial advantages of the worker bees, we can still easily defeat them as long as we operate them properly. Only extremely evolved creatures like the Zerg can do this.
And you have to know that according to the setting, our enemy is a powerful empire with a territory of tens of millions of light years. If we don't have something, we will be finished. ”
. . . . . .
Transporting Brontosaurus meat is relatively easy for a few people. Basically, one person can haul back part of the meat in one trip.
And Jiang Yao was also shocked when the bugs brought back the dragon-like meat.
Jiang Yao, who was bound to the insect nest, had a certain understanding of the power of insects through the inherited memory of the insect nest.
However, the combat effectiveness of worker bees is difficult to describe in a word, because the role played by worker bees in the swarm is resource collectors.
Its strengths lie in gathering resources and transporting them rather than fighting.
Even the biggest purpose of the venom it spits out is not to hunt creatures, but to dissolve some hard rocks or metals.
Because of its extreme evolution, this venom is very lethal to rocks and metals, but the damage it causes to living creatures is limited.
However, even under such circumstances, the players still defeated this giant beast. Jiang Yao had to lament how wise his idea of letting players control the insect swarm was.
"The traces of the Arak ore left behind should be the reason why this Brontosaurus mutated."
At this moment, looking at the huge Brontosaurus corpse not far away, Jiang Yao, who was bound to the insect nest, discovered the clue.
"I didn't expect that this planet would actually have Arak ore! I was still worried about not having the ore to unlock the building, but now I feel sleepy and I'm hitting the pillow." Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel happy after learning the news.
But he soon figured out the reason. In addition to swallowing a large amount of conventional substances, the insect nest also needed Arak ore to develop.
If there was no Arak ore on the planet, it would be absolutely impossible for the Zerg to put the Zerg Nest here.
Because for the Zerg, Elak ore is everything to them. The mother nest absorbs Elak ore and converts it into energy-devouring energy. By consuming the energy-devouring insect nest, it can hatch various special building larvae to unlock more special units.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao immediately determined his next plan: "Since there are Arak ores here, the next goal is to find them as soon as possible, and then unlock new troops!"
"But let the system absorb the evolution points now." Thinking of this, Jiang Yao walked up to Thunder Dragon.
"The system absorbs evolution points!" Jiang Yao gave the order.
"Ding... the system began to absorb evolution points, and successfully absorbed the target mutated Brontosaurus to obtain 1,000 evolution points." Jiang Yao was also happy to see this message.
"I've made a lot of money with this move!" One thousand evolution points is not a small amount.
One quota requires 100 evolution points and 5 energy points. One thousand evolution points equals ten quotas!
"Now I still have 85 points of energy absorption in my hand. If the brood devours the Thunder Dragon, I should be able to have two to three hundred energy absorption points."
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao immediately asked several people to put the Thunder Dragon meat into the insect nest. Because the mother nest is currently in a semi-dormant state, many operations can only be completed with the help of the insects.
After everyone had done everything, they all rushed to Jiang Yao because at this time they knew it was time to receive the reward.
Looking at the expectant eyes of several people, Jiang Yao thought for a while and said.
"Ahem... Dear Zerg warriors! Through your hard work, you have made a huge contribution to the Brood.
And after testing, the Brontosaurus you brought back is a mutated Brontosaurus, so you can not only get rewards for turning in resources but also get additional evolution point rewards. ”
"Each insect of you will receive a reward of 1 evolution point for the materials turned in, and a reward of 20 additional evolution points."
After saying this, Jiang Yao couldn't help but feel his face getting hot.
He had to admit that this wave was too cruel. He gave 100 of the 1,000 evolution points to the players.
But there is no way around this.
First of all, I let players in in the form of a game. As a game planner, I know very well that if it is a game, you need to operate it, and to operate it, you need funds. Especially now, I have a very great need for this evolutionary point.
In order for this game to retain players stably for a long time, he directly opened the function of redeeming evolution points. After all, there is a time when you get tired of playing any game.
In many cases, what makes you keep playing is not how fun the game is, but because you can make money. For example, Ark is an example. The gameplay may be out of play in a few months.
But why do so many people play it for so many years? Not because of the money, Gan sold a day's worth of materials to the trading group for one or two hundred.
This is what motivates most players to keep playing.
So in order to keep players playing, apart from the fact that the game itself is good.
Jiang Yao also knew very well that players should be able to make money, so he enabled the cash withdrawal function. Where did this cashed-in soft sister coin come from?
It is impossible for the system to directly invade a certain bank and get out the soft currency. It is possible to do this, but it also has a big problem. It is okay if the amount of players redeeming is small, but what if the amount is large?
So the way he came up with it was to use the wool from the sheep and use the players' soft sister coins to support the players. In the future, when there are more people, there will be many people who will exchange their evolution points for the soft sister coins.
There will also be a lot of people charging soft money, but if the krypton gold players charge money, you must have something to give them.
What was given? Now all Jiang Yao can think of is to give evolution points and circulate them as krypton gold currency.
As for the reason why energy is not used, it is also very simple. It is much more difficult to obtain energy than evolution points!
And just now, the difficulty of obtaining Devouring Energy once again refreshed his understanding.
In the end, Jiang Yao gained 5 points of energy from such a big thunder dragon just now!
This made Jiang Yao dumbfounded. Although Jiang Yao knew that energy-devouring points were difficult to obtain, he never expected it to be so difficult because there was a huge special plant similar to a piranha outside the entrance of his cave.
The promotional pictures on his official website showed flowers that could run and jump. Then he solved all those flowers and easily obtained more than 100 points of Devouring Energy.
After producing five worker bees, he still had 85 points left. He remembered clearly at the time that he estimated that he could only clean five or six flowers.
So based on this energy-devouring amount, Jiang Yao naively thought that although it would be a little difficult to acquire energy-devouring energy, it would not be too difficult. However, the thunder dragon just made him stupid.
5 points, then the huge Thunder Dragon provided him with five points of Devouring Energy!
There are not as many as those piranha flowers! This made him a little confused, but he soon thought of the reason.
If he guessed correctly, after he split the piranha in two, he saw that the small red crystal particles in its body were most likely the Arak ore.
It is also because these things are Arak ores that they can produce so much energy.
The Brontosaurus was only mutated by the influence of the Elak Ore, so its body only contained some elements of the Elak Ore, so it produced so little energy.
Although Jiang Yao knows that the buildings of the swarm have the ability to devour all surrounding materials to convert into energy, the conversion rate is very low, and corresponding buildings need to be unlocked and placed in various locations on the planet.
This routine is usually used after the bugs have cleaned up everything on the planet. After all, you can't just stare at them after they are installed. If there are still living things on this planet, they will destroy you today and destroy you tomorrow. You will also have a headache in the end.
Of course, the reason why Jiang Yao doesn't use Devouring Energy as a krypton gold currency is that there is another reason why it is difficult to obtain.
That is illogical! According to normal game routines, especially infrastructure games, energy consumption is the currency needed to upgrade buildings and unlock technology. This currency should be based on resources such as ores in the game, or grain and grass.
The resources needed to upgrade buildings in the game are all free, and evolution points are more like krypton gold resources because they can be purchased and evolved. This evolution function is like drawing cards in the game, but it is different from drawing cards. Yes, he is 100%, and drawing cards has a probability.
Since evolution points are used as krypton gold currency, if players influx in large numbers in the future, they will definitely need a large amount of evolution points. So where do these evolution points come from? It’s not just the rebates I usually get.
And Jiang Yao estimates that the amount of kickbacks he is currently receiving is not enough if he operates according to his ideas.
After all, this is a game, so why don't you do an event?
For example, first-time discounts during holidays, discounts for purchasing new bugs, etc. In the future, rich players will settle in and can easily make tens of thousands of dollars. Where does this evolutionary point come from?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao instantly lost the feeling of guilt he felt just now, and he still vaguely felt in his heart that giving one-tenth of the points was too much.
Unlike Jiang Yao, everyone who heard the final distribution result couldn't help but look at each other with a look of disbelief on their faces. Obviously, this result was a bit unexpected.
Wait until Jiang Yao leaves...
"Damn it! The rewards are so small!" Xianyu was the first to speak.
"Come on, you have to know that this is an evolution point! In this game, evolution points can be exchanged for soft girl coins, do you understand?" said the Emperor Penguin next to him.
Cloud Gamer also nodded his huge head in agreement with this: "Old man, you are still too young. You will never understand the urinal nature of these game companies. It is easy for you to fill up soft currency to enter the game, but you want to start from Every dime you get from a game company will cost them their lives!”
"And this game is different from other games. As long as you are willing to do it, I think there is still a chance to get money from the game company."
The emperor penguin continued: "For plants and animals that carry materials, if you carry a hundred tons, you will be rewarded with one evolution point. With the power of worker bees, it is estimated that one or two thousand tons can be transported in one trip. You only need to be willing to work for a day. It can still be done with a few extra trips and a few hundred soft girl coins.”
While talking about the emperor penguin, he controlled the worker bees to crawl towards the insect nest, "I'll get off first. I suddenly remembered that I haven't explained the situation to the others in the group yet. I'll go over and briefly explain the situation to them."< br>
"In addition, I happen to have 21 evolution points in my hand. I will take 1 evolution to see if I can withdraw it directly. I will tell you the situation when the time comes."
"Although I estimate that I can complete the withdrawal, it is safer to give it a try. However, I would like to remind you that at this early stage, I do not recommend that you withdraw your evolution points. It is best to hoard most of them in the future. It will be of great use”
