After the announcement was issued, Chu Guang was not idle and continued to pin his pre-edited posts on the official website forum.
This major update that concerns the interests of all players must be discussed with the players as a planner.
"Developer Log: Alpha 0.3 Version"
"Hello everyone, I am your most beloved planner. Thanks to our overtime work day and night, and the closed beta players who clock in on time every day, the development progress of Wasteland OL has made another big step forward!"
"I am not bragging, this alpha 0.3 version update will be the most significant update since the game closed beta was launched!"
"Before, some friends have complained that the settlement process of contribution points is too troublesome. They must be offline to check, and they cannot feel the joy of counting money in the game. They are always worried that NPCs will deduct wages... In fact, this worry is completely unnecessary. The manager of Shelter No. 404, who is also a novice guide, is absolutely just in setting and will never pay less wages. I can guarantee this with my character!"
"However, although there is no problem of deducting wages, the problem of the overly complicated settlement process of contribution points does exist. After receiving feedback, our planning department held a meeting for three consecutive days and nights, and finally concluded that we cannot sacrifice gameplay for authenticity."
"Therefore, we decided to design a new currency to replace the original contribution points as the main reward for players from missions!"
"This currency is very convenient, with denominations of 1 and 10, in brass and silver, and can be used to buy food, equipment, and other paid services and goods."
"Yes, after this update, food will no longer be provided for free, but players will need to spend in-game copper or silver coins to buy it. At the same time, players will also receive money from missions as rewards... Doesn't this sound interesting? The gameplay is enriched in an instant!"
"On the other hand, after the Alpha0.3 update, the shelter will allow its residents to own their own private property! The garbage or equipment picked up by players from the wasteland will belong to them, and they can be traded with other players or sold to the shelter in exchange for rewards."
"For this reason, we have specially launched an additional warehouse system, located in the buffer room at the entrance and exit of the shelter!"
"There is a row of lockers with passwords. You should have noticed it before. Now they are open for use. Both money and weapons can be stored there, except for dangerous goods that are prohibited from being brought into the shelter!"
"What? Are you asking me if it's free? Of course it's charged! But don't worry, their rent is very cheap and everyone can afford it!"
"In addition, players who hold a large number of contribution points don't have to be discouraged! Although contribution points are no longer used as currency, NPCs have all seen your contribution to the shelter and the entire civilization."
"After research by our planning department, we decided to incorporate contribution points into the new 'honor' system!"
"This system is independent of the economic system and is mainly related to the 'privileges' enjoyed by players in the shelter... In short, it can be used to exchange for identities and titles!"
"The initial identity of all players is a shelter resident by default. They can be upgraded from a resident to a citizen by spending 2,000 contributions."
"In Shelter No. 404, residents only enjoy basic human rights, and only citizens can own private land."
"Currently, only the 'citizen' identity exchange is open. The most basic citizen identity only supports the purchase of 5 square meters of private land, and this number will continue to expand as the identity is promoted. "
"More identities and titles will be released in subsequent updates according to the progress of the test."
"At the same time, the mercenary, caravan, guild, legion and other systems that are being designed also have certain requirements for identity and contribution points."
"After Alpha 0.3, the rewards for daily tasks are mainly money. Only those who contribute to the overall interests of the outpost can get contribution points. Including but not limited to holding public positions, solving emergencies, great creations and inventions, etc.."
"Please remember these! "
After the post was published, it did not immediately cause a big stir.
However, this was also within Chu Guang's expectations.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon in the wasteland, and it was early morning in reality. It was too late for netizens who did not get the reservation qualification, and too early for players who were in the game.
When they went offline, they would see it naturally.
After stretching, Chu Guang was about to turn off the computer, and suddenly found that there was an extra reply to the post.
[Yaya: What's the situation, it's updated so soon!? I I I I missed the entire 0.2 version?! QAQ]
Chu Guang was shocked when he saw this post.
This guy really did what he said, and he would not sleep without a helmet.
However, he had no choice.
If possible, Chu Guang hoped that the players' resurrection CD could be shorter than anyone else, but unfortunately, it always takes some time for an embryo to develop into a mature individual.
Be patient, I will be able to come up tomorrow.
Without paying attention to the unlucky player, Chu Guang turned off the computer and went outside the shelter.
Since he bought a batch of tools from Brown Farm last time, the players' work efficiency has indeed improved a lot compared to before.
It has only been two days since the third batch of players entered the game, and the concrete wall around the sanatorium has been almost repaired.
Not only that, Chu Guang also found that some players were digging the foundation in the open space in front of the sanatorium under the leadership of "sparing people under the knife", laying yellow mud bricks inside, and applying cement.
It looks like they are building a house.
Chu Guang walked up and grabbed a player who was moving bricks and asked.
"What are you doing?"
The player was honest and explained with a smile.
"I heard that the new NPC is a weapon merchant, and we are giving her a weapon store! "
What the hell?
Chu Guang was shocked when he heard this.
So self-conscious?
Although he did reveal the information about the NPC to Fang Chang, he never hinted at repairing the weapon shop.
This wave of prediction is simply in the atmosphere!
Without any expression on his face, Chu Guang then looked at the foundation next to him and continued to ask.
"What about the other one?"
The player replied with a smile.
"That one, it should be the bathhouse!"
"Didn't we always go to the lake to wash before, but later we found that it was not safe to do so. Especially yesterday, Brother Lao Bai almost got a catfish bite off his little earthworm as soon as he entered the water. So we discussed and planned to build a public bathhouse. "
Puff.
No, can't laugh.
Chu Guang held it in and nodded with a stiff expression.
"Hey, come on, guys. "
"It's a good thing to pay attention to hygiene…"
The player said with a smile.
"Okay! I'll get busy first."
"Go ahead."
It was evening soon.
Brother Chaodan set up an iron pan on the open ground, first threw in a piece of hyena fat to make oil, then threw the cut venison and vegetable leaves picked up from somewhere into the pan and stir-fried them over high heat, and sprinkled salt for seasoning.
Tonight's menu is fried venison with bracken and lightly cooked green wheat porridge.
Thanks to the reindeer that the manager hunted, the players can finally improve their meals.
"Where did you pick up that iron pot?" Seeing that Brother Chaodan was holding a kitchen utensil that he had never seen before, Chu Guang was curious, so he looked at Lao Bai, who was closest to him, and asked.
"You are talking about that one. Fang Chang and I made it." Facing the manager's inquiry, Lao Bai smiled and said.
"You made it?" Chu Guang looked at him unexpectedly, and then asked, "Is your blast furnace... usable?"
"It's already usable! Although the quality of the steel produced can only be considered average, it's still no problem to make some tools."
Lao Bai smiled proudly and then said,
"I wanted to report to you just now, but I couldn't find you, hehe."
I didn't expect that even the technology of traditional steelmaking has been mastered by these players.
Although the quality of steel produced by this method may not be satisfactory, doesn't any technology mature step by step?
With iron.
Not to mention combat effectiveness, at least productivity can be taken to a higher level!
Chu Guang sighed in his heart, his face full of admiration.
"You have done a good job, I will report your contribution to the organization."
"You and Lai Rifangchang will be rewarded with 1,000 contribution points... as a reward for solving the steel needs of the outpost."
Lao Bai was overjoyed and said quickly.
"It is my honor to share your worries!"
Chu Guang shook his head.
"You're welcome."
These players are all talented, and they speak well. It's too easy for me to be a manager.
I remember that when I was on Bet Street, Chu Guang heard old Charlie from the grocery store say that most managers of shelters did not end well.
The residents of the shelter are much more difficult to serve than the survivors in the wasteland. Even if they are well fed and clothed, they will still ignore the terrible situation and put forward some unrealistic ideas.
Few predators can break through the iron wall of the shelter head-on. Those tickling weapons are not worthy of leaving a scratch on the door of the shelter. Most of the shelters abandoned by unnatural factors are self-destructed due to internal conflicts and disagreements.
When Chu Guang heard these words from Old Charlie, he always felt that his tone was a little melancholy.
It was as if it was his own experience.
When he just took over the management authority of Shelter No. 404, Chu Guang was actually a little uneasy in his heart. He was worried that he would not do this job well, so he kept a way out for himself on Bet Street and bribed Xiaoyu to help him look after the house.
But now, he no longer thinks so.
Similar things may happen in any shelter, but it will never happen here.
Walk to the cooking stove.
Chu Guang held a bowl and said to Brother Scrambled Eggs who had just finished cooking a pot of vegetables.
"Give me a bowl too."
Scrambled Eggs was surprised.
In his impression, this NPC seemed to have never eaten with them. So much so that he once suspected that this adult did not need to eat according to the setting.
Did the artificial intelligence upgrade?
"I'll do it!"
Teng Teng, who was waiting by the stove, took the bowl diligently, filled a large bowl of green wheat porridge, and handed it to the manager.
"Be careful of the heat."
"Yes."
Chu Guang nodded in thanks, and asked Brother Chaodan to serve him a spoonful of fried venison, which he poured directly on the thick green wheat porridge, and then turned and walked towards the direction of the shelter elevator.
