Chapter 914: The Wild Bone Tribe! Tian Yuan's First Kill! (Happy New Year's Eve~)
Thanks to the reduced fees during the first day of the trial operation, most people exchanged for copper coins and had a full meal.
But there are still a small number of unlucky people who can only lie in bed with an empty stomach waiting for the day to come because of queuing or because they come back late from scavenging.
Chen Shen sent the data of the first day.
About 90% of the scavengers currently have items in their hands that are converted into funds, with an average of about 10 iron coins.
For those villagers who choose to complete the task, the fixed income of the day is also about 6-15.
Therefore, 10 iron coins is roughly the average income of the villagers at this stage.
"Through today's test, plus the collection of villagers' opinions, we will temporarily set the price of raw materials for a meal at 2 iron coins. The contractors of the canteen purchase materials for processing, and after counting the cost of renting venues and tools, the ex-factory price of meals should be around 3 iron coins."
"Adding the expenses of washing, bathing, renting tools, buying materials, etc., basically"
"ordinary people can save one or two iron coins after spending."
The surplus of income for a day is just enough to buy a full meal?
Ah, this
This income is too pitiful compared to the civilized era.
Su Mo was sure that he definitely did not want to make money from these things, nor did he want to be an unscrupulous capitalist to exploit the labor of the villagers.
"This is already the price after the village subsidy. In fact, according to the purchasing power of labor in other parts of the wasteland, the daily income is only enough for them to eat half full for two meals in the morning and evening, and it is impossible to have a surplus income for a full meal."
"In addition, we must suppress their income in the early stage and use time to observe the strengths and weaknesses of each route. Otherwise, if a route generates too much income, it is easy to cause an imbalance in the economic balance of the village."
"Dog Planner" Hao Qiang explained aloud. This is the first time he has copied the economic operation mode in the game to run in reality.
A very simple truth.
In the game, a certain profession is too fast in gold farming. The planner only needs to move the knife and weaken it a little to ensure the balance.
Faced with such a patch update, players only have two choices: play or not play.
But in reality, if you do this, you have to consider the management costs and restructuring costs that will be sunk. It is possible that the chain reaction caused by one change will require ten subsequent changes to smooth out.
"Okay, then let's execute it according to your plan first."
After listening to the manually counted data reports for a while, Su Mo nodded and temporarily affirmed the current strategic plan.
At the same time, a comprehensive management tool that can integrate data for analysis and statistics into charts is naturally on the agenda.
Now it takes dozens of people a whole day to count the data for 10,000 people.
And this is not counting the time that may be delayed if there are errors or omissions.
"I hope that tomorrow, after the fusion of this artificial intelligence life is completed, it will bring some surprises.
Back to the bedroom on the third floor, Su Mo glanced at the small square on the bedside and saw that the time was almost up. He stretched and went to bed contentedly.
However, people's joys and sorrows are not the same.
On the fifth floor area dozens of kilometers away, hundreds of people were unable to sleep tonight.
"Where the hell did these damn guys come from? "
Standing on the cracked rooftop of Building No. 2, Huang Xiong held the telescope in his hand and kept scanning the place where light rose in the thin fog below.
The other party seemed extremely arrogant and crazy, and had no intention of breaking through to try the hidden hands arranged on each floor. It was obvious that they wanted to completely besiege them to death in this building.
For now, 272 years after the war, this behavior of competing for food reserves is simply a naked "show of wealth", which is enough to make Huang Xiong rack his brains and still be unable to figure it out.
It was just a sudden fog. Where did these strange faces come from? ?
Although they were wearing tattered and patched clothes, they had sophisticated pre-war weapons in their hands.
Especially the one in black sportswear before The man in the armored suit actually spoke poor pre-war language. He wanted to talk?
What to talk about?
Go to the nuclear radiation area in the suburbs to risk his life to find batteries?
The farm is short of people and wants to capture some slaves to plant the land?
Or do you want to find some locals to learn about the valuable strategy points around?
The more he recalled, the more Huang Xiong felt that the man in black armor was just like the old popsicles who woke up from the underground, always thinking of using such gentle means to negotiate.
Doesn't he know that the first time everyone meets in the wasteland after the war, they should make their goals and demands clear?
"Brother, do you want you to continue to guard, I will go down and negotiate with them, this group of people don't look like those vicious jackals, thinking of tearing a piece of meat from us. Maybe we can ask them what they need? "
Standing next to the wild bear was his younger brother, the wild wolf.
In the prosperous world before the war, everyone had a gentle name. In the wasteland world after the war, humans returned to the era of using simple names. People would name themselves after the most powerful prey they killed, or add their favorite weapons, food, items, and achievements to their names.
The two brothers were not called this name before, 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 gain prestige in the surrounding area with the help of this record. They gathered a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people to form a small survival group.
"No, it's too dangerous for you to go on and test like this. What if the other party seizes the opportunity"
Huang Xiong's eyes flickered. The only thing they can rely on now is the various facilities carefully arranged in this building. Only here can they have the qualifications to negotiate with the invaders.
In the past crises, as long as they can hide inside the building, the other party will often choose to retreat after testing.
Only this time
As one of the arrangers, what if Huang Lang is captured by the other party
"But what you said makes some sense. We need to find out the details of this group of people as soon as possible,"
Huang Xiong thought carefully for a moment, and finally agreed to the previous proposal.
There is not much food in stock, and it can only sustain everyone for a week at most.
The fog around is very strange. It is difficult to see clearly beyond one kilometer, and it becomes blind directly beyond two kilometers.
If they don't find out what happened as soon as possible, the Wild Bone Tribe, which relies on scavenging and hunting for a living, won't be able to maintain peace for long even if they are not surrounded by these weirdos.
At present, there are not many people in the entire tribe that he can trust, and Wild Wolf is indeed the best choice.
"Brother, take Huter with you."
"During the day, I saw a lot of people coming from their direction. Take advantage of the night and go there to find out their details."
Pointing to the route that the scavengers in the village went back and forth during the day, Wild Bear coughed lightly and whispered a few words.
Counting on using the pile of scrap copper and iron to deter these people is equivalent to hitting a rock with an egg.
But what if, what if the other party also has a "soft spot" in the back.
Even if the Wild Bone Tribe cannot use this soft spot as a threat, it can at least have some advantages in negotiations.
"Okay, I'll go and take a look."
Wild Wolf turned his head and tightened the belt on his body, revealing his strong body underneath.
Not long.
On the top of the thirty-sixth floor, two dark figures jumped down from the edge and glided down like big birds to fly into the distance.
The fog is the best cover.
Even though the soldiers below have been concentrating on watching, they did not expect that the other party would have such a means of escape.
The Hope Village at night was shrouded in mist, and it seemed quiet and peaceful.
Unlike the origin camp of free-range development, as long as you can afford the funds or materials for house repairs, you can find a way to enclose a piece of land and build a house.
At this stage, the use of each piece of land in Hope Village and the planning location of each building need to be approved by the village. Even if the land is purchased later, the details and planning must be discussed with the housing and construction department in the village before construction can start.
Nowadays, the village entrance square, which is bustling with people during the day, has been leveled several times by excavators a few days ago. It is paved with even gravel paths, separating stalls for trading.
Going through the square and going inside, the village entrance, which has been renovated again, is very impressive, with a total of two floors.
The outer layer is hung with a handmade fence door, which has extraordinary defense power. Each frame is as thick as a forearm. At the critical moment, as long as it is closed, it is enough to resist the general impact.
The inner layer is a wooden door made of the currently 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 door to the surrounding area, there is a recently built defensive fence, which is about 1.2 meters high, just enough to surround the village.
Of course, the fence made of pure iron will be seriously corroded in the current high humidity environment in a short time.
But it doesn't matter. Each railing will be connected to the terminal energy stone transformer at night, and the intermittent output is high voltage enough to make people faint after touching it.
As long as they can survive this most difficult time, when they can produce concrete in large quantities, the village will immediately build a second reliable barrier and turn it into a castle with extremely high security.
"It's so comfortable. Such patrol missions are just free money. It's much more comfortable than those missions during the day!"
"And it's limited to those of us who have chosen to be reserve soldiers. It's just right that we don't have to compete with those crazy scavengers for missions."
"Speaking of which, it's a good job to go out to scavenge during the day and come back to work at night."
"Good guy, aren't you afraid that some people will come to you at night and give you a hard time?"
"I'm afraid of nothing. I really don't believe that anyone can sneak into the territory without being discovered by the sentries along the way."
""
After the fog fell, the aborigines began to appear in the wasteland.
In addition to routine guard patrols, the village has added several night tasks for the villagers.
Patrol around the village, check the integrity of infrastructure, point-to-point section duty, etc.
Of course, these simple tasks are completely sufficient for the current guard team of more than 300 people.
But considering that the scope of activities in the territory will increase in the future, more and more aspects will be involved.
Relying solely on the guard team, it can only protect the safety of the villages within the scope.
Sumo needs a group of villagers who can become free fighters. These people can be hired by the caravan as bodyguards, can cooperate with the scavengers to go out to attack important resources outside the territory, or spontaneously form an organization to complete some tasks that the guards cannot reach.
Now, these night activities are the first step to train these people.
Walking 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 cherished their current stable life.
Now walking by the wall, both of them stared wide-eyed, eager to find any clues that might reveal the enemy.
But alas, it comes full circle.
Not to mention the traces left by the enemy, I didn't even see any footprints from my own people.
The security of Tianyuan's territory is terrible, and Hope Village's powerful multiple protections 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. As a result, we can only take on these simple tasks to make money. In the future, we will open a weapons store and find enough guns. I don't know how to use them." for how long."
Youyou Firepower King: "Gathering together 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 you maintain this amount of income?”
Accurate Dakun: "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 sneak attack combat, all you need to know is that crossbows are no worse than guns."
Precisely hitting Kun: "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."
Yoyo 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 food 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!
"Damn 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 and slowly lay on the ground, 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 in appearance from humans.
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.
The 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 the precise exclamation of hitting Kun.
"Damn it, the fence is double-killed!"
