Chapter 914 The Desolate Bone Tribe! Tian Yuan’s first kill! (Happy New Year’s Eve)
Thanks to the reduced fees during the trial operation phase on the first day, most people exchanged copper coins for a full meal.
But there are still a small number of unlucky people who either wait in line or come back late from scavenging, so they can only lie in bed hungry and wait for the day to arrive.
Chen Shen sent the first day’s data.
About 90% of scavengers currently have items in their hands that are converted into funds, and the average amount is about 10 iron coins.
Those villagers who choose to complete the task have a fixed income that fluctuates between 6-15 per day.
Therefore, 10 iron coins is roughly the average income of villagers at the current stage.
"Through today's day's testing, coupled with the collection of villagers' opinions, we have temporarily set the price of raw materials for a meal at 2 iron coins. Those contractors in the canteen purchase the materials for processing, including the cost of renting space and tools.
Finally, the ex-factory price of meals should be around 3 iron coins."
"Including expenses such as washing, bathing, renting tools, purchasing materials, etc., basically"
"Ordinary people can save one or two iron coins after spending money."
How much of a day's income is enough to buy a full meal?
Ah this
This income is simply pitiful compared to the civilized era.
Sumo was convinced that he definitely did not want to make money from these things, nor did he want to be an unscrupulous capitalist who squeezed the villagers' labor force.
"This is already the price after subsidies from the village. In fact, according to the purchasing power of labor in other parts of the wasteland, one day's income is only enough for them to have half-full meals in the morning and evening. It is impossible to have a surplus income for a full meal.
"
"In addition, we need to suppress their income in the early stage and use time to observe the strength of each route. Otherwise, if one route generates too much income, it will easily cause an imbalance in the economic balance in the village."
"Dog Planner" Hao Qiang explained aloud that this was the first time he had copied the economic operation method in the game into reality.
A very simple truth.
A certain profession in the game earns gold too fast, so planning only needs to use a knife to ensure balance by slightly weakening it.
When faced with such a patch update, players have only two choices: play or not play.
But in reality, if this is done, the sunk management costs and restructuring costs must be taken into consideration. It is possible that the chain reaction caused by one change will require ten subsequent changes to smooth out.
"Okay, then let's implement your plan first."
After listening to these manually compiled data reports for a while, Sumo couldn't help but nod, temporarily confirming the current strategic plan.
At the same time, a comprehensive management tool that can integrate data for analysis and compile statistics into charts is naturally on the agenda.
Now it takes dozens of people a whole day to compile data for just 10,000 people.
And that's not counting the time that may be lost if there are errors or omissions.
"I hope this artificial intelligence will bring some surprises after the life integration is completed tomorrow."
Returning to the bedroom on the third floor, he glanced at the small square on the bedside and the time was almost up. Somo stretched himself and went to sleep contentedly.
However, people's joys and sorrows are not the same.
In the fifth floor area, which is dozens of kilometers away, there are hundreds of people staying awake all night tonight.
"Damn it. Where did these damn guys come from?"
Standing on the roof of Building 2, which was full of cracks, Huang Xiong held the telescope in his hand and kept scanning the place below where there was light rising in the thin mist.
The other party seemed extremely arrogant and crazy. They had no intention of breaking through and trying the secret tactics arranged on each floor. They clearly wanted to completely surround them and kill them in this building.
For now, 272 years after the war, this kind of competition for food reserves is simply a naked "show off wealth", which is enough to make Huang Xiong think about it and still can't figure it out.
It was just a heavy fog that suddenly came. Where did these strange faces come from?
Although they wore shabby and patched clothes, they had sophisticated pre-war weapons in their hands.
Especially the man who was wearing black power armor before. He was still speaking in bad pre-war language. Want to talk?
What to talk about?
Go to the nuclear radiation area in the suburbs to find batteries?
The farm is short of people and you want to grab some slaves to plant the land?
Or do you want to find some local people who know valuable guide points around you?
The more he recalled, the more Huang Xiong felt that the man in black armor looked like the old popsicles who had woken up from the underground, always thinking of using this gentle method to negotiate.
Doesn't he know that when everyone in the wasteland meets after the war, he should make his purpose and demands clear as soon as possible?
"Brother, do you want to keep guarding while I go down to negotiate with them? This group of people doesn't look like those vicious jackals who want to tear a piece of meat from us. Maybe we can ask them what they need.
What?"
Standing next to Wild Bear is his younger brother Wild Wolf.
In the prosperous world before the war, everyone still had a gentle name. In the wasteland world after the war, humans have returned to the era of using simple pronouns. People will be named after the most powerful prey they have killed, or they will be named after the most powerful prey they have killed.
Add your favorite weapons, food, items, and battle results to the name.
Once upon a time, the two brothers were not called by this name, but in a swarm of mutant beasts, they were lucky enough to hunt two powerful mutant creatures.
A bear and a wolf.
Naturally, the two brothers changed their names from here, and began to rely on this achievement to gradually gain prestige in the surrounding areas, gathering a group of old, weak, sick and disabled to form a small survival group.
"No, it's too dangerous for you to continue testing like this. What if the other party seizes the opportunity."
Huang Xiong's eyes flickered. The only thing everyone can rely on now is the various facilities carefully arranged in this building. Only here can they have the qualifications to negotiate with the intruders.
In several crises in the past, as long as you could hide inside the building, the other party would often choose to retreat after testing.
only this time
As one of the organizers, in case the wild wolf is captured by the opponent.
"But there is some truth in what you said. We need to find out the details of this group of people as soon as possible,"
Huangxiong thought carefully for a moment and finally agreed to the previous proposal.
There is not much food in stock, and it can last everyone a week at most.
The surrounding fog is extremely strange. It is difficult to see clearly if it is more than one kilometer away, and it will become blind if it is more than two kilometers away.
If we don't find out what happened as soon as possible, the Barren Bone Tribe, which makes a living by scavenging and hunting, will not be able to maintain peace for long even if it is not surrounded by these weirdos.
Currently, there are not many people he can trust in the entire tribe, and Wild Wolf is indeed the best choice.
"Brother, please take Hutter for a walk."
"I saw a lot of people coming from their direction during the day. You can take advantage of the darkness and follow there to see their details."
Pointing to the route taken by scavengers in the village during the day, Huang Xiong coughed lightly and whispered a few words.
Expecting to use that pile of scrap metal to intimidate these people is equivalent to hitting an egg with a stone.
But what if there is a "weak spot" in the opponent's rear?
Even if the Barren Bone Tribe cannot use this weakness as a threat, it can at least have some advantages in negotiations.
"Okay, I'll go take a look right away."
The wild wolf turned his head and tightened the straps on his body, revealing his strong body underneath.
Not long after.
On the top of the thirty-sixth floor, two dark figures jumped down from the edge, gliding down like big birds and flying into the distance.
Heavy fog is the best cover.
Even though the soldiers below had been watching intently, they never expected that the other party would have such means of escape.
At night, Hope Village is shrouded in mist, looking quiet and peaceful.
Different from the camp where free-range development originated, as long as you can afford the funds or materials to repair the house, you can find a way to enclose the land and build a house yourself.
At this stage, it is hoped that the use of every piece of land in the village and the planned location of every building must be approved by the village. Even if the land is subsequently purchased, the detailed rules and planning must be discussed with the village's housing and construction department before construction can begin.
Today, the village entrance square, which is bustling with people during the day, has been leveled several times by excavators in the past few days. It is paved with even gravel paths and separated into stalls for trading.
Passing through the square and heading inside, the renovated village entrance is very impressive and is divided into two floors.
The outer layer is hung with hand-made fence gates, which have extraordinary defensive capabilities. Each frame is as thick as a forearm. As long as it is closed at critical moments, it can withstand a normal level of impact.
The inner layer is a wooden door made of rare "wood". If there are a large number of outsiders coming in and out during the day, it can be closed to leave a passage for inspection.
Following the fence gate to the surrounding area is the recently built defensive fence, which is about one meter high, no more, no less, and just surrounds the village.
Of course, in today's high-humidity environment, a fence made of pure iron will probably be seriously corroded in a short time.
But it doesn't matter, every railing will be connected to the terminal's energy transformer at night, and the intermittent output will be high enough to make people faint after being touched.
As long as it can survive this most difficult period and can mass-produce concrete, the village will be able to build a second reliable barrier and turn this place into a castle with extremely high security.
"It's so comfortable. Patrol missions like this are just giving away money. It's much more comfortable than those missions during the day!"
"And it also restricts those of us who have chosen reserve soldiers to receive it, so we don't have to compete with those crazy scavengers for tasks."
"Speaking of which, I can go out to scavenge during the day and come back to work at night."
"Good guy, aren't you afraid that someone might come over and give you a hard blow at night?"
"I'm afraid of a hammer. I really don't believe that someone can touch the territory without being discovered by the sentry along the way."
"."
The fog came and native people began to appear in the wasteland.
In addition to routine guard patrols, the village has also added several night tasks for the villagers.
Patrol around the village, check the integrity of the infrastructure, perform point-to-point duty, etc.
Of course, it is completely sufficient to rely solely on the current guard team of more than 300 people to carry out these simple tasks.
However, considering that the scope of activities in the territory will increase in the future, more and more aspects will be involved.
Relying purely on the guards can only protect the safety of the villages within the range.
Somo needs a group of villagers who can become free combatants. These people can be hired by caravans as bodyguards, can cooperate with scavengers to search for important resources outside the territory, or can spontaneously set up organizations to complete some tasks that are beyond the reach of the escort team.
Now, these night activities are the first step to train these people.
Walk under the electric fence on the east side of the village.
"Yuyou Fire King" and "Precise Dakun" hold iron knives and are responsible for the security of the entire southern wall of the village.
Neither of them were the first residents of the Tianyuan Territory, and both came here with the subsequent relocation of the origin camp.
After experiencing those precarious days, they cherish their current stable life very much.
Now walking by the wall, both of them stared wide-eyed, eager to find any clues that might reveal the enemy.
But unfortunately, it’s a full circle.
Not to mention the traces left by the enemy, not even one of our own footprints was seen.
The security of Tianyuan's territory is terrible, and Hope Village's powerful multiple layers of protection make it almost impossible for any creature to break through.
Stopping at the middle position on the south side, the two simply squatted down and passed the night patrol time with small talk.
Accurate Dakun: "It would be great if the escort team in the village recruits more people. We chose these reserve soldiers, but in the end we can only take on these simple tasks to make money. In the future, we will open a weapons shop and find enough guns. I don't know how to get them."
for how long."
Youyou Firepower King: "Getting together with a gun? Good guy, let alone a gun, if I could just buy a crossbow, I would be satisfied! The crossbow arrows can be recycled after they are fired. If you buy a gun, you have to buy a steady stream of bullets. The cost is now
How can we maintain this little income?”
Accurate Kun: "It makes sense, but to upgrade our route, we must participate in battles. The points given by other channels are pitiful. If you don't buy a gun, it will be miserable if the other party has one."
Youyou Firepower King: "Don't worry, I am the gold medal coach of the Crossbow Club on Earth. Don't think that the crossbow is just a dry arrow. We only need to add some simple explosives in it, or stuff some violently burning cough
Hey, anyway, in a sneak attack battle, all you need to know is that the crossbow seems to be no worse than the gun."
Accurate Dakun: "It's too much punishment. If we can really make this thing, we will also need a feather gun. The cost of crossbows is so low."
Youyou Firepower King: "Anyway, you don't need any license or route restrictions to open a store in the territory. I just thought that if we use it well, we can open a weapons store to sell this kind of modified ordinary weapons. Compared with guns,
If it’s cheaper and easy to use, wouldn’t it just sell out?”
Thinking about his future life, Yoyo Fire King showed a slightly idiotic smile on his face.
Although we are still far away from these, facts have proven more than once that there are too many opportunities in the wasteland.
As long as you are like those individual scavengers who go out to make a fortune during the day, you can get this kind of stuff that falls from the sky.
etc.
Looking up at the sky, Yoyo Fire King's eyes suddenly focused.
In the hazy fog, he seemed to see two black objects swooping down and swaying from side to side.
Like a nimble eagle, and like a ship about to capsize in the sea.
It wasn't until he got closer that Yoyo Fire King could barely see the figure of the opponent clearly. They were two humanoid creatures wearing special costumes!
"Fuck. Enemy attack!"
Qi Dakun on the side was attracted by his startled breath and saw two figures landing on the ground more than ten meters away.
Coming as promised?
The opportunity that I was looking forward to just now flew down from the sky so quickly?
The two of them held the iron knives in their hands tightly, slowly lying on the ground and not daring to move, for fear of attracting each other's attention.
The human form not only means that they are human beings, but also some alien races are not much different from humans in body shape and appearance.
Judging from the scene where the opponent landed slowly from a high altitude just now, this kind of strength is completely beyond what they can handle.
Facing such a powerful and extremely cautious enemy, the best way is to notify the territory through the patrol channel and let the escort team come to deal with it.
Although some rewards will be shared, the security is higher than
Stab.
Yoyo Fire King is still brainstorming, quickly judging the strength of the enemy and ourselves and how to deal with it.
A harsh electric shock sound was suddenly heard from the front, accompanied by a precise strike.
