On the way back from the abandoned department store, the four people in the cattle and horse team felt that the wind blowing on their faces was sweet.
The sun sets in the west.
When Fang Chang and his team appeared at the north entrance of the outpost, dragging a cart full of supplies, almost all the players' eyes bulged.
“What the hell?!”
“Awesome!!!”
“Did you bring up the console???”
“Planner dad, please cut it quickly! If you don’t cut it, these people will go to heaven!”
A cart full of loot!
And everything visible to the naked eye is good!
This is too exaggerated!
The two sisters, Qiucao Qiuye, who were sitting in front of the stall, were attracted by the movement there and looked over one after another. Especially the younger sister, she stretched her neck curiously, trying to see clearly what was inside the caravan.
But just when she was about to stand up, her sister reached out and pulled her back.
Qiucao shook his head and touched his sister's head.
“You can’t look around, it’s not polite.”
Autumn Leaf pouted her lips in embarrassment and lowered her head.
"knew."
Still, she was curious.
Although I can't understand what these blue coats are saying, and I can't see clearly what's on the caravan, I always feel that they are very excited.
Could it be that...
A baby was born?
The players looked envious and jealous, and kept shouting that it was so unreasonable. Many people shouted "Planner Dad" in unison.
Hearing someone shouting about planning, Ye Shi couldn’t sit still. With A Guang’s character, he must have been peeping at the screen at the moment. He must have heard it!
Without hesitation, he immediately yelled back.
"Peel a chicken! Do you know how hard it is for me to do this? Two crawlers! One in front and one behind! There are hundreds of gnawers. Do you know how we defeated them? Damn it, knife
They gave me two curling blades!"
Looking at Ye Shi who was acting cool there, Fang Chang couldn't help but hold his forehead.
Lao Bai didn't waste any time, he went straight to it, picked up Ye Shi by his collar, and took him away like a chicken.
“Gan! Don’t pull me, I haven’t finished speaking yet!”
“Be honest with yourself!”
“That’s it! Be honest!”
Together with Fang Chang, Guangfeng and Fang Chang pulled the caravan filled with supplies and passed through the north gate without stopping, heading towards the NPC's warehouse.
If these newbies knew that this cart full of supplies was just the tip of the iceberg in the shelter, I don’t know what they would think.
As for how fat the supplies on the car are?
Summary in one sentence.
These materials have become so rich that the warehouse manager has to ask his superior, Old Luca, for help. However, Old Luca is at a loss when facing the materials in the caravan. He does not know what to do and can only continue to report to his superior, the manager.
grown ups.
“…Sir, I really don’t know how to price it. I can only ask you to decide it yourself.” Standing in front of Chu Guang with fear, Luka lowered his head as if he had made a mistake.
Without bothering to reply to him, Chu Guang walked straight to the caravan, took a look inside, and his brow suddenly jumped sharply.
I wipe it!
Have made a fortune!
Turning back to look at the four excited little players, Chu Guang nodded approvingly.
“Your performance exceeded my expectations... To be honest, I didn’t expect you to bring back so many things.”
Seeing the expression on the manager’s face, the four little players became even more excited.
Get rich, get rich!
Fang Chang raised his head and chest, and said respectfully.
“Dear administrator, it is my honor to contribute to the great cause of rebuilding civilization!”
Ye Shi also answered the call.
“That’s right! It’s our honor!”
"I'm very happy that you think so, but clear rewards and punishments are also an important part of rebuilding civilization. I will calculate the rewards that should be yours clearly," Chu Guang glanced at the caravan and continued, "It will take some time to count these supplies.
, I will give you an appropriate amount before midnight...including settling other resources you find in the copy."
Chu Guang used a drone to OB them before, and also collected their in-game chat recordings, so he knew exactly what they were doing there.
The four players are not suspicious of how the administrator knows. After all, is it so strange that the NPC knows the whereabouts of the players?
Not surprising at all!
This guy can even kick people offline.
On the other hand, when they heard the manager use the word "copy" to refer to the shelter they found under the department store, the four people's faces showed excitement.
Copy!
Sure enough, the one they passed was a hidden copy!
Although the copies of this game are all one-time use...
Fang Chang looked respectful.
“We are not in a hurry, everything will follow your arrangements!”
Leave the caravan next to the warehouse.
Fang Chang and his team carried Irena to the corpse room, and then took the elevator back to the shelter, ready to get off the line and get up.
Chu Guang left the task of counting the loot to Xiao Qi, and then asked Luka to issue a mission to recruit some players of the strength and physique systems, and take them to drag back the supplies from under the department store.
“…The map has been updated in your VM. If you can’t find the road, turn on automatic path finding.”
“Remember, when you get to the place, bring everything back to me as long as you can take it with you!”
“Leave not a single screw alive!”
After explaining these things, Chu Guang got on the elevator and returned to the shelter. He turned on the computer and started editing the update announcement for version Alpha0.61.
That’s right, the version number is not 0.7, but 0.61.
This update is only a supplement to version 0.6.
As for why the sudden update?
In fact, it’s not entirely due to the issue of “revenue settlement” in the Cow Horse Squad copy. A large part of the reason is that there is some problem with Brother Mole’s team.
Let’s talk about the cattle and horse team first.
The battle against the abandoned department store can be said to have been fought very beautifully.
Chu Guang didn't have to worry about it. They wiped out all the aliens in the underground garage and returned with a cart full of supplies.
And these materials are very high-quality industrial raw materials!
Especially those high-quality metal materials such as chromium ingots and tungsten ingots. There are a lot of them packed in the caravan, which weighs more than a thousand kilograms at least. If you want to buy these materials, they can only be imported from Honghe Town.
, and the price is not cheap.
As for precious metals such as gold and silver, they are excellent conductors and are indispensable if you want to make precision instruments.
Not to mention those non-metallic consumables and chemicals, they are all valuable and good things.
The key question now is, how to calculate the income?
If it is handled to the NPC warehouse, his little players will definitely suffer a loss. Many varieties do not have corresponding orders at all and can only be recycled as garbage.
If you want to maximize your profits, you can only drag them to the market at the north gate and sell them slowly, but in this case, you may not be able to sell them all until next month.
After all, the number of life players who can use these materials can be counted on one hand.
The most reasonable solution is for Chu Guang to directly set a price and buy the materials produced by the entire copy in the form of reward settlement.
Equivalent to bulk commodity wholesale.
This is actually not bad to say. Anyway, distributing money to players means, for Chu Guang, moving silver coins from one pocket to another.
Now that there is a bank, even the step of moving your pocket is omitted.
Income settlement is a minor issue.
What the Alpha0.61 version really wants to solve is the imbalance of dungeon gameplay and problems with the distribution mechanism!
This problem did not appear on the Cow Horse Team, but on Brother Mole's "Greenhouse Ruins", it was actually a bit serious.
The dungeons of "Wasteland OL" are different from traditional MMORPGs, and even strictly speaking, they cannot be regarded as "dungeons".
First of all, the copy of "Wasteland OL" will not be refreshed after it is cleared once.
Secondly, the number and difficulty of monsters do not increase with the progress of the strategy. In many cases, they decrease with the progress of the strategy.
This may be in line with the logic of reality, but it is not in line with the logic of the game.
After all, orthodox RPG games will give players time to level up and put the most difficult BOSS at the end of the level.
However, in "Wasteland OL", the hardest bone to crack is probably the first line of defense. After breaking through the first line of defense, the rest is harvested.
This mechanism determines that the further the dungeon is pushed to the back, the easier it will be. Players who open up the wasteland will have a thankless job. They may not be able to reap any benefits even if they throw their lives and equipment into it.
Obviously, Brother Fang had probably thought of this in advance. After discovering something good, he did not announce it on the forum at all, and a group of people made a fortune there quietly.
It wasn't until he couldn't chew anymore that he went to the forum to chat with a passerby of the physique system. When discussing the specifics, he left the private chat without saying a word. Until the dungeon was cleared, many players still didn't know that this dungeon existed.
.
Since they can eat a fish from beginning to end, there will naturally be no problem of uneven income distribution or being picked off by other players.
But when it comes to the "Greenhouse Ruins", it's a completely different situation.
From the time the dungeon was developed to now, the number of players who have downloaded the dungeon has quadrupled, and it has almost become a hundred-regiment battle!
Chu Guang couldn’t believe it, even if he hadn’t seen it through the drone and VM map, that nearly fifty players had been squeezed into the first floor of the greenhouse, which was not spacious to begin with!
And what’s terrible is that these later players have almost no output. They just harvest the cocoons of the devil moths at the back, pick up two of them and run away.
If the players who are bleeding and sweating in front of you don’t have any objections, then it’s a ghost!
According to the posts on the forum, Chu Guang gradually realized that the current copy had serious "BUGs" in the gameplay mechanism.
Under the current gameplay mechanism, first of all, the value of intelligence cannot be reflected, and secondly, the players who open up wasteland have become the biggest victims, and the money they earn is either the old YB who silently made a fortune, or those who sneaked in later to pick up the leaks.
Is this reasonable?
Not reasonable at all!
If this is still done in the closed beta stage, who would be stupid enough to share the strategy?
As the embodiment of justice, Chu Guang will certainly not sit idly by.
Fairness is the second principle after the server environment. Since there are bugs in the existing gameplay mechanism, adjustments must be made!
【Alpha0.61 version update: Dungeon rules adjustment!】
After typing a line of title, Chu Guang continued to edit the adjustment details in the document.
First of all, it’s about the definition.
Including special facilities such as alien nests, hidden resource points, and shelter ruins, as long as the search value is greater than 100 silver coins and has a certain threat level, they will be marked as "dungeons" on the map.
The income from small dungeons will be settled immediately after clearing the level. Large dungeons may be divided into multiple small dungeons, and the income will be settled in stages according to the progress of the strategy.
In principle, you must first obtain "exploration rights" to enter the dungeon.
A player can only have the right to explore one dungeon at a time, and this dungeon is only authorized to one player.
Authorized players can organize their own teams and enter the dungeon to explore. If other players illegally enter the dungeon that has been authorized to explore, it will be regarded as an infringement of the right to explore. Fines will be imposed depending on the specific circumstances, and the infringed players will be compensated.
.
Based on the time when the VM uploads the map data, the first discoverer of the dungeon will automatically obtain the priority exploration right of the dungeon after the clues are uploaded and the judgment is completed.
“One dungeon doesn’t require so many players to rush in. If they all rush into one dungeon, it’s inefficient and prone to trouble. It’s better to spread out and explore more dungeons.”
“Protecting the rights of discoverers of ‘high-value resource points’ can also encourage players to discover more good things.”
“Well, we not only have to limit the number of authorizations, we also have to limit the time...to exclude people who are occupying the toilet and not giving up.”
Chu Guang continues to edit the document.
Depending on the copy type, the authorization period for priority exploration rights is between 3 and 7 days!
Within the period, the discoverer of the dungeon and his teammates can give priority to exploring the dungeon, or they can transfer the priority exploration rights to other players through transactions.
However, it should be noted that the transfer action will not trigger a re-timer. In other words, the transferred party can only obtain the remaining time of the permission.
If unfortunately, the player still fails to clear the dungeon before the expiration date of priority exploration rights, the priority exploration rights will be removed.
At the same time, Outpost will re-evaluate the difficulty of the dungeon based on existing information, set a guaranteed pass reward, and then conduct a public auction for the right to explore the dungeon.
50% of the proceeds from the auction will be used to compensate players who have lost priority exploration rights, and the other 50% will go to the outpost.
This can also be regarded as compensation to players who open up wasteland.
After all, every bullet fired is money, so it would be too pitiful to have no compensation at all.
Of course, the wasteland developer who has lost the priority right to explore can also participate in the auction if he thinks it is worth continuing to pay for this dungeon.
After the dungeon is cleared, Outpost will evaluate the dungeon's income based on the specific circumstances and give a reasonable valuation.
Players can decide by themselves whether to settle the copy income with the preset guaranteed reward or the evaluation price given by the NPC.
If not selected, the maximum value of the two will be taken by default.
At the same time, after the dungeon is cleared, the right to explore will automatically be invalidated.
Players can continue to look for the next dungeon as a target for the strategy, and the outpost will also re-plan the plots, areas, and facilities for completing the strategy.
Players can make reasonable suggestions.
But whether to adopt it or not depends on the judgment of the relevant NPC.
As for the dungeons explored before version 0.61, the priority exploration rights will be removed by default, and the auction process will be entered directly to re-dispose the exploration rights.
According to the rule of whoever discovers who gets priority, [Edge Paddling] who is the first to mark the dungeon entrance through VM and successfully upload the map data back to the shelter will probably become the biggest winner of this version update.
Although he has lost the priority right to explore, according to the auction rules, he will receive 50% of the auction proceeds from the exploration rights as compensation.
As for whether he wants to give a share to [Maka Bazi] who will accompany him to OB, that is a matter between the two of them.
…
When Chu Guang uploaded the announcement of the Alpha0.61 version update to the official website, it was exactly 6:30 in the morning in the real world.
At this point, it is also the busiest time of the day for the official website.
There are no surprises.
Almost as soon as the announcement of version 0.61 update appeared on the homepage of the official website, the topic in the forum immediately exploded.
Tail: "Throne! (｀?′)Ψ"
Xiao Xiaoxiao Bookworm: "!!!Big news! This time the version number has become 0.61!"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "The official has finally noticed the problem with the dungeon gameplay mechanism. If we don't care about it anymore, we really can't bring this team together! T.T"
Elf King Fugui: "I feel sorry for Brother Mole, he is almost driven crazy by the newcomers. (Funny)"
Roshan Damomo: "Wait a minute, what does this announcement mean? From now on, a copy can only enter one fleet at a time?"
Tails: "What?! Tails can no longer fish in troubled waters?!!!! ∑(?Д?ノ)ノ"
Sisi: "Awei, stop it, please don't be so confident."
Tomatoes and scrambled eggs: "Oh my god, one instance is bound to one person? If there are more people in the future, will the server be able to handle it?"
Stop talking nonsense: "I think it's unreasonable! It's an auction again! Mosquitoes will definitely raise their cards blindly!"
WC There are really mosquitoes: "Gan! Am I that kind of person? And even if I raise the sign, I won't leave it alone, okay?"
Ha
There are really mosquitoes in WC: "Why haven't you been on it? Although I haven't gone up there, I have the equipment to go up there!"
Stop talking nonsense: "Stop bragging! You killed a lot of monsters with the explosion, but you didn't kill a lot of fish!"
Teng Teng: "Okay, okay, stop arguing. When will my textile machine be ready? The child is going to cry. QAQ"
Ya'er, I need to go to the toilet: "Teng Teng, don't cry! It's almost done, there are still a few parts left! No, we have the workbench and the rubber for the piston. I promise to get it done for you within three days!"
"
The Mole on the run in the canyon: "By the way, do any of you know the dungeon profits of Elder Brother Fang and the others? Why haven't I seen them showing off?"
ˆ Irena: “(funny)”
Ye 10: "(funny)"
Lao Bai: "...Speaking of which, when will the exploration rights for the 'Greenhouse Ruins' copy begin? (Squints)"
˜Wind: "Exciting. (Funny)"
The canyon is trapping the mole: "Wait!! What do you want to do? (horror)"
Fang Chang: "Ahem, Brother Mole... I'm sorry."
The canyon is trapping a mole: "Good brother, give me a chance! I'm going to get through! ∑(っ°Д°;)っ"
Fang Chang: “Definitely next time!”
