Chapter 48 Alpha 0.3 version is online! New gameplay unlocked!

The next morning.

Outside the walls of the sanatorium, there was a bustling crowd and shouting.

"Transporting stones from the abandoned construction site, three teams of four, one waiting for one, the rent for two carts has been paid, hurry up if you want to get on the cart."

"Are there any strength-type friends? Waiting for a teammate to cut trees and earn money to level up!"

"Agility-type team is looking for a team! Perception-type priority, intelligence-type stand aside, to complete the scavenging task of the northern townhouse! GKD!"

"Damn, do intelligence-type people have no human rights???"

"The outpost is recruiting part-time warehouse managers, with a fixed daily salary of 9 silver coins and 100 contribution points. The working hours are from 6 am to 6 pm, with a 3-hour shift break in between. The work content includes checking the account books, counting the inventory, purchasing and selling materials, intelligence-type priority, and only two people are recruited. Be careful, the manager is always watching you, and if you find favoritism and fraud, you will be severely punished... Damn! I signed up!"

"The carpenter's hut is also hiring! The daily minimum salary is 10 silver coins and 200 contribution points, and there will be additional commissions for receiving tool production orders. Uh, it requires carpentry experience, the ability to handle logs, and the ability to make furniture, bows and arrows, spears of good quality or above... I'm going."

After the version update, each player received a novice gift package of 5 copper coins from the generous administrator.

What can you do with 5 copper coins?

There are actually quite a lot of things you can do.

For example, you can rent an axe for 5 hours in the logging hut, or rent a cart, cart and other tools for 5 hours in the warehouse.

In addition to renting, you can also buy a pound of lamb horns, green wheat or 100g of dried meat in the warehouse, and the purchasing power is still great.

It has to be said that players are always the easiest creatures to adapt.

If the scavengers on Bet Street heard that someone was going to use metal pieces to replace the chips they had used for nearly a century, they would probably stand up and fight that person immediately.

But the players are different.

They are a group of particles doing Brownian motion in a bottle, and there is a duality between chaos and order in them. As long as they still need to repeat the two actions of putting on and taking off helmets, they will never be able to jump out of this bottle.

Games have their own rules, and updates and adjustments are the norm.

For players, this is common sense.

In less than an hour, these self-taught geniuses have become familiar with the rules of the new version, and have begun to figure out how to adapt to this version of the game within the rules.

The open space in front of the wall.

Fang Chang did not leave immediately, but called Lao Bai, Ye Shi, and Kuang Feng over, and sat together to hold a combat meeting.

Fang Chang: "The biggest change in Alpha 0.3 is the change in the economic system and identity system."

Fang Chang: "I just consulted the manager's assistant. If you want to get contribution points, you can only get them by taking a job, except for making major contributions. Take the warehouse manager with the lowest threshold as an example. You can get 100 contribution points in one day of work. If you start from scratch, it will normally take 20 days to reach citizenship."

Kuangfeng touched the bridge of his nose and raised his hand to say.

"Let me add that it's not just through the employment system, there is a guaranteed minimum for daily tasks. For example, if you chop down 20 trees and drag them to the carpenter's hut, in addition to the reward for chopping down the trees, you can also get 80 contribution points... But the upper limit of contribution points for daily tasks is only 160 points, and almost two tasks are enough."

Fang Chang: "Well... Using the rest time of professional tasks to do daily activities, the maximum contribution points that can be obtained in a single day is theoretically 260, and it takes 8 days to accumulate to 2000 points. But it's probably difficult for ordinary people."

Ye Shi whispered.

"Damn, so... my 3000 contribution points are a bit awesome, aren't they?!"

Lao Bai touched the back of his head and laughed.

"My 5000."

Ye Shi: "Fuck!"

When you first enter the game, the contribution points for chopping down trees are calculated based on the length and thickness of the wood. For a tree as thick as an arm, 1 contribution point per meter. A tree as thick as a thigh gives 2 points of contribution for every meter.

Perhaps the numerical planning of the game was not well designed, resulting in the fact that Lao Bai, who is a strength player, reached 800 points by chopping trees, and even Fang Chang, who has the worst physical strength, earned 300 points per day.

This is obviously unreasonable.

Sure enough, starting from the Alpha 0.2 version, the income from chopping trees has been greatly reduced. Now in the Alpha 0.3 version, the income from chopping a tree is only 2 or 4 copper coins depending on the thickness and length. And if you don't have your own axe, you have to pay a rent of 1 copper coin per hour and accept credit.

Even if you chop 20 thigh-thick pine trees a day, you can only earn 80 copper coins, which is only 8 silver coins in total.

Add to that the 80 contribution points calculated for chopping 20 trees, and the profession of lumberjack has been nerfed at an epic level compared to when the server was first launched!

However, the outpost is not short of wood, and the trees are probably cut down for farming in the spring of next year.

"Thanks to the overflow of contribution points in the early stage of the game, the four of us now have the highest contribution points in the game. I have exchanged for citizenship, and you will upgrade your status later. In this way, we have a total of 20 square meters, and we can enclose a piece of land near the sanatorium."

"What do you want to enclose a piece of land for."

"Stupid! Build a house! There is nothing wrong with building a three-story building for a small apartment of 20 square meters? As long as the height does not exceed the sanatorium in the middle. The first floor is the storefront, the second and third floors are partitions, and each person has a room. Isn't it nice to put a bed and a box?"

Fang Chang rolled his eyes at Ye Shiyi. Why would this guy ask such a stupid question?

"That makes sense..." Lao Bai's eyes lit up, "You can do business!"

The storefront is facing the gate of the sanatorium, the resurrection point of the players, it is simply the golden location in the golden location, and you can make a fortune by selling anything!

"That's right! I just thought about this!"

Fang Chang snapped his fingers, smiled, and said confidently.

"The new version obviously encourages players to be creative and spontaneously organize production and trading! Do you still remember the dog-cough, the planner emphasized at the beginning, the goal of Wasteland OL is to create an economic system that can truly reflect the supply and demand relationship, and this also determines that a large part of the players' equipment and supplies in the future may have to be obtained through transactions between players!"

If you don't enclose the land now, when will you wait!

It's a pity that the identity system limits the upper limit of land that each player can buy, otherwise Fang Chang really wants to save money to buy all the land around the sanatorium and directly develop wasteland real estate.

Isn't this more cost-effective than buying a house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou?

Is it possible that this game will not be popular after the public beta?

"Awesome!" Even Kuangfeng couldn't help but give a thumbs up this time.

This analysis is perfect!

Ye Shi and Lao Bai looked at each other, their faces full of excitement.

"How much does it cost to buy land?"

Fang Chang said with a smile.

"I checked it out. It only takes 10 silver coins per square meter. What we have to do now is to get 200 silver coins before all the players! Buy the 20 square meters closest to the sanatorium!"

Lao Bai hesitated and said, "What if someone is faster than us?"

Fang Chang made a helpless expression.

"If there is, then let's get him to join."

Now there are not many people who have been promoted to the citizen level. Even if someone is faster than them, how many can there be? Two more people will not be a problem.

The three nodded and had no objection to getting other people to join.

"I have another question," Ye Shi raised his hand and said, "What can we do to save money? I checked, cement burning is the highest-paid job among the professions with no experience threshold, but the daily income is only 10 silver coins. Counting the 20% production bonus, it is only 12 at most... and there are only two people."

Kuangfeng pointed in the direction of that side and reminded.

"And now there is no room. Look at the cement kiln... the smoke is already floating, and it is estimated that it is full of people."

Although the cement kiln was built by Lao Bai and his team, after the land system was updated in Alpha 0.3, the facilities within the wall were listed as public facilities.

As the builders of the facilities, Lao Bai and Fang Chang both enjoy 30 days of priority purchase.

But the location of the cement kiln is too remote, almost next to the wall. It is possible that foreign enemies will invade one day and destroy it with a volley of bullets.

Neither of them planned to waste the precious "land purchase quota". After all, the technical content of this thing was not high. It would be better to wait until the assets were disposed of 30 days later. The fixed assets above the land were officially confiscated, and the manager would compensate them with money and contributions.

They even wanted to confiscate it now and use the demolition compensation to buy land.

Fang Chang said, stroking his chin.

"Even if there are not enough people, I don't recommend applying for those fixed positions. If you want to outperform other players, you must find another way."

Ye Shi looked at him and asked.

"For example?"

"For example, hunting!"

"Hunting, hunting?"

Fang Chang nodded.

"Well, I saw at the door of the warehouse just now that the body of a mutant hyena can be exchanged for 5 silver coins. If the prey weighs more than 30 kilograms, you can get an extra 2 copper coins for every kilogram."

Ye Shi widened his eyes.

"5 silver coins? So much?!"

This is still based on the lowest standard!

Although the weight of mutant hyenas is basically around 30 kilograms, it is autumn now, and most prey are storing fat, and their weight is generally heavier than usual.

This point, the game is very detailed.

"... Well, in addition to mutant hyenas, mutant reindeer are also on the acquisition list, and the price of each prey is at least 12 silver coins! Basically, if the four of us form a team and can kill 8 mutant hyenas a day, we can steadily exceed the income of four people making cement together! One more, it's all profit!"

This is the fastest way Fang Chang can think of to earn 200 silver coins.

"But... where can we find so many prey?" Lao Bai said hesitantly, "It seems that there are only birds and small animals in the wetland park. We can only find bigger prey if we leave the wetland park and go to the city, right?"

Before Fang Chang answered, Ye Shi, who was sitting next to him, raised his hand.

"Don't worry about that! I have been hunting with the administrator these days. I remember which places are dangerous and which places have more prey. And yesterday, the administrator and I found a migrating herd of deer. As long as we follow the footprints of the deer, it is easy to find prey!"

Kuangfeng nodded.

"Well, our Ye Shi is a perception system. His 9-point perception is currently the highest among all players. It shouldn't be difficult to search for prey. Now the question is, how to hunt? The weapon dealer hasn't started work yet."

Fang Chang smiled confidently and said.

"There is no need to use a gun. Spears, slingshots, bows and arrows, crossbows... As long as they are used properly, these weapons are no worse than guns at medium and short distances."

Kuangfeng frowned and asked.

"Have you ever used a bow? It's not easy to hit people with that thing."

When the university organized a team building to go to the archery club, he once tried archery, and he used a bow with professional sights.

Not to mention hitting a target 20 meters away, a bag of 10 arrows, being able to touch your own target after shooting is considered a bit of talent.

Many people aim at their own targets, but shoot at other people's targets or the protective cotton on the floor and ceiling. .

If there is a bow and arrow without a sight...

Kuangfeng can't imagine how touching the hit rate will be.

However, Fang Chang doesn't seem to be worried about this problem, and still has a confident smile on his face.

"Don't worry about this. Leave the archery to me. I have some basics. You are responsible for making traps and finishing off the enemies. Lao Bai will be the front row, and Ye Shi will be responsible for reconnaissance and vigilance."

"Trust me, this lineup is very stable!"
