This Game Is Too Realistic

2021-08-14

  Chapter 51 The Economic System of Wasteland OL

The first day of the launch of the alpha0.3 version.

The test results of the new version are quite gratifying.

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

These three-meter-high concrete fortifications not only bring a sense of security, but also create probability for players’ night games.

From 1 to 6 o'clock in the evening, Chu Guang would take the players back to the refuge to prevent these guys from being taken away by alien species that went out for food.

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

Of course, for safety reasons, Chu Guang still prohibits players from using facilities with open flames such as blast furnaces at night.

During the daytime, steel-making and burning of cement are good. 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 good.

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

In addition to the walls, weapon shops and bathhouses have also been completed with the efforts of the players. Although it is not very luxurious, it can be used.

Especially for the bathhouse with partitions, Chu Guang is simply too satisfied.

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

Of course, the wooden water tank on 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, so that the people inside can continue to wash it. The trouble is indeed a bit troublesome.

Therefore, the wise and great manager is considering changing the bathhouse from a public welfare facility to a fee-charging facility, charging 5 Copper Coins for each cubic meter of water. At the same time, set up an additional water transporter position, responsible for filling the water tank on the top of the bathhouse.

This is reasonable.

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

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

Just listening to the ding-ding in the purse can dispel the fatigue and weakness of the limbs and make them fight in their posts with high morale.

Among them, the best performing team is still the squad.

The four old leeks are worthy of high play. The quadrilateral warfare integrates reconnaissance, front row, output, and support. The first time they cooperated, they performed brilliantly.

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

The sale of prey is equivalent to 55 Silver Coins-43 of which are mutated hyenas and 12 are mutated reindeer.

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

But even so, the scrambled egg brother who served as a temporary butcher still obtained more than 100 kg of hyena meat and more than 100 kg 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 as their own dinner.

It is worth mentioning that the original outposts used to eat big pot rice, and the scrambled egg brother who was the cook arranged the recipe for two meals a day.

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

Now it's completely different.

The granary of the base will be open to all players, and the price is fair and affordable, and it is easy to be honest. 1 Silver Coin can be exchanged for 1kg green wheat, or 300g raw meat, or 200g dried bacon.

What is the concept of 1 Silver Coin?    According to the rules designed by Chu Guang, there are 10 Copper Coins converted from 1Silver Coin, which is roughly the median one-hour income of players.

In other words, overwhelming majority players only need to work hard for 1 to 2 hours, or do some tasks patiently, and they can buy rations to fill their stomachs.

As for whether the players take the purchased food directly into their mouths, or add condiments to cook into green wheat porridge or oatmeal, or join the table with other people to eat or even trade, players We can all decide for ourselves.

Before Chu Guang designed this simple economic system, he once did some calculations.

A mutated hyena with a head of 30kg can remove almost 12kg of meat by removing the inedible internal organs and head.

Purchasing prey from hunters at the basic price of 5Silver Coins, spending the average cost of 2 Silver Coins to hire butchers to slaughter the meat, cramping and peeling, the total cost is no more than 7 zero-cost silver coins.

Assuming that 12kg of meat is removed, according to the price of 1Silver Coin of 300g of raw meat, 12kg is 40 silver!    The output value of 40Silver Coin, the production cost of 7Silver Coin, and the circulation cost can be ignored. Therefore, in this simple economic chain, a surplus value of 33Silver Coin will be produced.

This number is meaningless to players. After all, they are playing games, but for Chu Guang as a manager, it means too much.

As long as this "prey to raw meat" economic chain can continue to operate, every time it runs, it can provide the outpost's granary with "33Silver Coin worth of raw meat" and "Silver Coin worth of fur". .

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

Therefore, in addition to a small part of the meat purchased by the players with the Silver Coin he issued, more raw meat will be left as "raw materials" and flow into the new economic chain to dry the meat. The form of storage in the granary, as a refuge of 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 compensation, you can easily adjust the inventory of various materials and the focus of the players' work at the current stage.

For example, now that the fence has been built, the base's demand for plastering and moving bricks has declined. 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 to stimulate players to order weapons and upgrade equipment. At the same time, it will increase the purchase price of prey, and urge capable players to use the weapons they bought. Hunting to improve proficiency.

In this way, the players are rich, equipped, and have accumulated combat experience. And Chu Guang not only obtained a large amount of food reserves, but also a batch of troops with abundant military virtues.

It's a win-win situation!

No, it should be three wins!

Because as a manager, Chu Guang can win twice!    Those few coins are like Catalysts. They obviously didn't create any value, but they revitalized the economy of the entire outpost.

Chu Guang feels like a genius.

The only minor problem that arises is that no one is cooking today.

Brother Scrambled Egg hasn't saved enough money, and the restaurant hasn't opened yet.

In order to save money, almost everyone went to the warehouse to buy a minimum guarantee. They used 1 Silver Coin to buy a kilogram of croissant potatoes. Several teammates rented a large pot to raise the fire. Hold the bite, and rent it to the next person after the bite.

It doesn't matter if you don't know it well, this thing can be eaten raw, it's just a matter of hygiene and taste.

It seems that for an instant, everyone who has a goal to strive for, suddenly did not pay attention to the quality of the food, and carried forward the style of hard struggle to the extreme. There was only one requirement, and it was enough to eat!   Only Yaya is different.

Others are chewing potatoes happily, but she can't even afford them.

Because the manager forgot to give her the minimum guarantee, and she went online too late to find a teammate, she was sitting in the corner with a grievance and gnawing on the sour berries and mushrooms.

In the end, Teng Teng couldn't stand it anymore, and walked over and divided her into half a bowl of mashed lamb croissants.

Seeing the ravens gorging themselves, Teng Teng couldn't bear to taunt her, sighed said.

"From tomorrow on, you have to work hard to earn money, I'm impossible to raise you."

Yaya hugged Fujito with emotion.

"Fujiteng, are you an angel!"

Looking at the tearful eyes of Crow, Fujiteng's face was sighed, blushing from her arm Drilled out from underneath.

"...What stupid thing are you talking about."

The sky is getting darker.

Chu Guang strolling in the base is patrolling his territory and the situation of the players.

Although overwhelming majority players want to stay for a while, it will be dawn in two hours, and the migrant workers will go to work after washing up.

Chu Guang thought that it was too early, and was about to call them to gather, but at this moment, the north gate of the base heard the knock of dong dong dong.

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

Through the player list, he confirmed that the people outside should be Junk Jun.

looked towards the two closest players, Chu Guang instructed.

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

"Yes!"

Fang Chang and Old Bai trot forward and lifted The latch stuck on the door together pulled the wooden door open by a gap.

Fang Chang and Old Bai were taken aback by seeing Jun Jun who came in through the crack of the door.

"Fuck it?"

"Brother, what's wrong with you?!"

Blood!

All over!

Although some of the wounds have healed, most of them are bites and gunshot wounds visible on naked eye.

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

Fortunately, if the opponent regards it as a different species, and it is not very delicious, the probability of chasing is not great.

Regardless of his own injuries, Jun Jun walked quickly to the manager and gasped.

"Robber's camp! It is 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 provoke them!"

Jun Jun quickly waved his hand to clarify, and took a peek at the manager. Continued to say, "At that time, I was planning to retreat, but I just ran into their patrol team... I saw three people."

Ye Shi: "Then you still did it with them? "

Jun Jun looked embarrassed and looked away.

"Uh... I was bumped into, no way."

It looks like this guy should have lost.

But it’s not surprising that a three-person patrol team should also bring a dog. This is probably the bite on its body.

Although this guy has an absolute advantage in panel data, he may not be able to get any benefits when he fights against experienced robber veterans.

I was lucky to be able to come back.

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

The self-synthesized clone has the function of accelerating the repair of tissue cells, plus the physique attribute of Jun Jun itself, it should not take long to recover completely.

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

Along the way, many players noticed his situation and whispered quietly.

"This guy hurt so badly!"

"I heard that Robber camp was discovered."

"Robber camp?! Are you going to open a new copy? !"

"Awesome!"

"Damn it, I have to put together money to buy a gun!"

"Hey, tangled, I should buy it first It’s better to buy a gun first."

"Don't be silly, move the bricks first."

Obviously, these players didn't realize the tricky problem, but looked excited. Discussing there.

This is understandable.

After all, this is a game for them.

Only Chu Guang, who is a manager, has a hint of urgency in the brows.

To the north is the robber camp, to the east is the mutant’s den, to the west is Linghu, and to the south is the area where the survivors of Bette Street and Brown Farm stayed.

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

"Whether it is a robber or a mutant."

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

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