106 silver and 5 bronze!
This astonishing amount of money shocked the entire shelter.
It had only been one morning since the bounty was posted, and someone had already completed the first kill!
If this efficiency is not high, then what is it? !
As soon as the manager turned around and left, a group of players swarmed up, surrounded the four cows and horses of the cow and horse team, and asked with admiration.
"Brother! Where did you find the predator? Did you go to the tire factory?"
"Destroy the team without any damage, this is too powerful!"
"Boss, please lead me!"
Being surrounded by so many players, anyone would be flattered, let alone Ye Shi who was talking nonsense. This guy rubbed his nose with his index finger and said with a grin.
"I'm sorry, brother Meng, our team is full, and we won't add any more people. But don't worry, our brother Fang will update the strategy in the evening. It's just a few predators, and you can do it with your hands!"
"What? You asked me how I defeated six people? That's a long story! At that time, the six fierce and ferocious strong men were walking towards us, and they were about to find us. Without saying a word, I drew out my dagger, ready to jump and chop..."
Fang Chang glanced at him and couldn't complain.
Kuangfeng moved his eyes away, pretending not to know this guy.
Only Lao Bai was more straightforward. He couldn't stand this guy pretending there, so he stretched out his hand and pulled him away from the crowd.
"Hey, don't pull me, I haven't finished yet!"
"Talk about it!"
"Stop talking nonsense, let's prepare for the next wave!"
As the first team to try it out, the people in the Niu Ma team became the focus of heated discussion among other players as expected.
As for the three predators who were hanged on the tripod and the bodies sent to the active substance extractor, no one cared.
After all, the manager's hatred of evil has long been impressed in their minds, and it is expected that these people will be refined.
Unable to listen to Ye Shi's bragging, Fang Chang and others did not stay in front of the north gate for long. They collected 120 silver coins with the bonus they just got, and then went straight to the weapon store.
Soon, they became the first customer of Xiayan Xiaogaigai and bought the first 7mm bolt-action rifle sold in the entire weapon store!
In addition to 6 7mm steel core copper bullets priced at 1 silver coin, and 10 cheap and inferior bullets, Fang Chang, who had paid the money, handed these things to Ye Shi.
In the case that everyone's shooting skills are similar, it is the best choice for the perception system player to serve as the shooter.
Lao Bai can throw javelins and is very brave in close combat. Fang Chang can use bows and arrows to support, and his proficiency is quite high now. He may not be weaker than muskets in medium and short distances. As for the intelligence-based Kuangfeng, throwing a fire bottle or blocking a mine at a critical moment is enough. It is unrealistic to expect him to output.
At least in the current version, the intelligence-based system is indeed a bit lame, but who can say what will happen in the future?
Maybe in which version, the intelligence-based system will become the boss.
"...My archery skills are okay, and this bow can last for a while. Good brother, this is the only 98K in our team! Don't use it to shoot random shots!"
"Don't worry, good brother! I will not let you down!" Taking it solemnly from Fang Chang's hand, Ye Shi held the gun with a touched face and swore to use it well.
He looked so cherished that he wanted to remove the paint on the barrel.
If there is paint...
Just like that, the ox-horse team spent the silver coins they had just received from the manager in the weapon shop before they could even warm up.
Not only that, in order to replenish gunpowder, arrows and other supplies, the four also put in some savings.
However, the four did not feel any pain.
Money is meant to be spent. Investing in equipment will soon make more money.
This hunting trip made them taste the sweetness.
In addition to the experience gained in the battle, as well as the bonuses and contributions of the bounty rewards, the spoils taken from the predators also belonged to them privately.
Although they were all melee weapons and simple protective gear, they could still be used. Even if they could not use them themselves, it was not a problem to sell them to other players for a few silver coins.
The four people who set out on their journey again were ambitious and ready to do the next job.
It would be better to do a big job this time.
If they could knock down a few gunmen, they would really make a fortune!
A gun costs at least 100 silver coins in a weapon shop. If you set up a stall in the market and sell it to players, 50 silver coins is not too much, right?
As long as it makes a sound, there will definitely be a lot of people buying it!
Fang Chang walked farther and farther away while humming a song, while Chu Guang still stood near the weapon shop and observed the players nearby for a while.
It can be clearly felt that under the stimulation of the "wealth myth" of the Niu Ma squad, many players have been eager to move, and are hesitating whether to use the money saved for buying land to buy guns.
Anyway, now the contribution points are not enough, and you are not at the citizen level. You can't buy land even if you have money. It's better to buy a gun to fight bandits to make money and brush up the contribution!
Especially seeing the four Niu Ma of the Niu Ma squad, they killed a team without guns. If they had guns, wouldn't they kill them indiscriminately?
Seeing that these little players were already tempted, Chu Guang decided to add fuel to their hearts.
So, Chu Guang waved to the owner of the weapon shop, motioned her to come over, handed her a wooden board that had been prepared long ago, and instructed.
"Hang this wooden sign at the door later."
Xia Yan asked with a confused look after taking the sign from Chu Guang.
"What does it say?"
Chu Guang replied concisely.
"All revolvers in our store are 10% off, and the discount ends at 12:00 am today. The 15 revolvers are sold out while stocks last, and the restocking time is yet to be determined."
Holding the wooden sign in her hand, Xia Yan looked at him strangely.
"Is it necessary to discount? Anyway, there is only one store in the base."
"Do I want the few coins in their pockets? Superficial!" Chu Guang said impatiently, not wanting to waste time explaining, "Stop talking nonsense, just do what I tell you to do, go quickly."
Maybe his wording was a bit too strong.
Xia Yan's body trembled obviously, and she didn't dare to talk back, and took the wooden sign and went obediently.
Very satisfied with her obedient performance, Chu Guang nodded approvingly, and continued to stand aside and admire his masterpiece.
As he expected, as soon as Xia Yan returned to the weapon store and hung the sign at the door, the players who were still hesitating saw the attractive discount and immediately took out the silver coins in their pockets and frantically bought the weapons they had long admired on the shelves.
The price of the revolver rifle is very cheap, 110 silver before the discount, and only 99 silver after the discount, even less than 100!
And the most important thing is that the revolver rifle is semi-automatic, as long as it is pulled out quickly, it can be used as a burst!
Isn't this much better than the bolt-action rifle?
Buy it and you will earn it!
Looking at these crazy little players, Chu Guang couldn't help laughing.
You will know after they buy it.
Sometimes shooting too fast is not a good thing.
This thing is priced cheaper than the bolt-action iron barrel rifle produced in Boulder City, and there is a reason for that!
Of course, even with a 10% discount, there are still only a few players who can take out 99 silver coins at a time.
At least half of the rifles sold were bought by three or four regular teammates who played together.
For a standard three-person team, one gun is actually enough.
Three people take turns to play, and the other two use crossbows, throwing objects and other melee weapons for support. When the game is almost done, it is not too late for the whole team to change guns.
In the early days of entrepreneurship, the conditions were a bit difficult, so we saved as much as possible.
Sooner or later, everyone will have it!
The 15 revolver rifles were quickly sold out.
Under the stimulation of the promotion, not only the broken guns seized from the looters were also sold, but also the Boulder City iron barrel rifles that were not discounted were sold. Now there is only one 9mm left hanging alone on the shelf.
Those players who didn't buy guns, though a little disappointed, were not discouraged and started to think of other ways.
Some smart players simply took the opportunity to sell DIY weapons.
The entrance of Boss Xia's weapon shop suddenly became a large-scale py trading site.
"Anyone want to buy the engineer's happy stick? It's super useful! Only one silver coin per stick, buy it now!"
"Fuck you, you dare to sell it for one silver coin with a wire wrapped around it? At least tie a blade to it!"
"What do you know, this is called piercing + blunt damage! If you tie a blade to it, it will be slashing damage!"
"Sorry, I choose the axe!"
"Anyone want to buy the crossbow? It's from the carpenter's hut. The original price was 20 silvers, but now it's only 15 silvers, and it comes with 5 crossbow arrows. I don't need this thing when I change to a gun, so if you want it, please send it to me privately!"
"Can it be cheaper? I only have 14 silvers in my pocket."
"Oh, forget it, just treat it as making friends."
"Steel breastplate! Want the same breastplate as the plunderer? It doesn't cost 99 or 88, just 2 silver coins, and you can take the melee weapon home!"
Trading between players is worth promoting, but you have to choose the right occasion.
Seeing that these players who were shouting and bidding had already blocked the traffic, if they were left alone, they would block the road to the warehouse.
So Chu Guang stopped hanging up, took two steps forward, coughed heavily, and said to the group of players.
"It is forbidden to occupy the road in the outpost base. If you need to trade, please go to the market in front of the north gate."
"This is not a place to set up stalls!"
Seeing the manager speak, the players dispersed and rushed to the north gate outside the base to continue the unfinished transactions.
As these players left, the entrance of the weapon store finally became deserted.
"Can I take a holiday? There is only one gun left on the shelf." Looking at Chu Guang who was walking towards him, Xia Yan asked expectantly.
The weather was getting colder and colder. I was shivering a little in my deerskin coat. It was hard to take a nap.
Compared to staying outside, Xia Yan wanted to blow the heating in the shelter.
It was much more comfortable to sleep there than outside!
"Of course not. Your job is not just selling guns."
Rejecting her naive idea mercilessly, Chu Guang continued with a smile.
"I need you to make at least 100 bullets before you get off work. If you can't do it, I'm afraid I can only let you sleep in the weapon shop tonight."
Xia Yan widened his eyes and exclaimed.
"You can't do this, I will freeze to death!"
"Don't talk so pitifully, you can freeze to death before it's below zero, how did you survive before? Didn't Luca also sleep in the hut next to the warehouse? Don't worry, I will prepare a warm blanket for you, and plenty of charcoal. But when burning that thing, remember not to close the door too tightly, it will be safer to let in some wind."
Looking at the pitiful Xia Yan, Chu Guang had an innocent expression on his face, "Don't look at me like that, I'm doing this for your own good, so that you won't be too bored and doze off, and it's easy to catch a cold if you fall asleep here."
"You big profiteer! Black-hearted boss! I don't trust you!"
Seeing that pretending to be pitiful was useless, Xia Yan, whose true nature was exposed, gritted his teeth for a while, but in the end he couldn't do anything about Chu Guang.
Her intuition told her that he could really do it.
"Okay... 100 bullets, right? I can do it, right?"
"Isn't that right? People have to work to survive. Think positively. At least rolling bullets is not life-threatening... If you are careful," looking at the frustrated Xia Yan, Chu Guang reminded her in a caring tone, "By the way, I will check the quality. I advise you not to just get by."
"Of course, if your performance is outstanding, for example... 50 extra bullets are completed, and the quality is acceptable, I will give you a reward."
Upon hearing the reward, Xia Yan, who was still depressed a second ago, instantly became energetic and looked up with hope.
"What reward? Chocolate?"
"No chocolate, but there are still a few chocolate-flavored lollipops."
This guy is completely in love with chocolate...
Looking at Xia Yan who picked up the tools and started working, Chu Guang nodded with satisfaction and finally left with peace of mind.
On the other side, the players in front of the north gate did not delay for a moment after completing the transaction. They rushed to the outside of Linghu Wetland Park under the stimulation of the bounty.
They spread out to the north along the elevated road, searching for the traces of the predators in a carpet-like manner.
The wild crickets lurking in the north of the abandoned construction site were frightened. They were afraid of alerting the snakes and affecting the offensive at night, so they led their men to retreat for a kilometer before stopping.
Although it was a pity that the predators were not found, and only some mutant rats, cockroaches, and hyenas were caught, these little players did not get nothing. They still caught a lot of prey before dark and replenished their granaries.
Compared with a week ago, hunting is indeed much more difficult now.
There are signs that the migrating deer are leaving the northern suburbs of Qingquan City and continue to move south along the edge of the city.
It was so cold that even the hyenas hid in their nests and did not come out.
It is a bit unrealistic to expect to encounter a few wandering mutant hyenas just by strolling around like before.
Players encounter more gnawers in the city that are not worth hunting.
As the night gets darker and earlier, these photophobic species are more active than before, which makes it difficult for players to hunt.
They will crawl out of the shadows like zombies, lock on to their prey and rush forward, which is difficult to deal with in narrow urban terrain and ruins.
The night gradually deepens.
The city outside the wetland park is the first to be shrouded in darkness.
The players who went out returned one after another, and the outpost became lively.
As before, these players set up stalls in front of the north gate, shouting loudly and trading today's harvest with others.
The more active players are no longer just selling materials, but simply doing catering.
For example, Yaya, who sells mushrooms.
This little player is getting better and better. He bought a big pot, lit a fire with charcoal, and started stewing directly at the stall in front of the north gate.
The price of roasted mushrooms is 2 copper coins per string, and mushroom soup is 3 copper coins per bowl. You need to bring your own bowl.
"Selling mushrooms, fresh mushroom soup, and roasted mushrooms, come and buy ducks."
A large circle of people gathered in front of the stall.
"Boss Crow, can your mushrooms dance?"
"Can you sing the Great Compassion Mantra?"
"Can you release them after they are cooked?"
"Can you stew a Paimon in the pot?"
"Boss Crow, can you perform a pot stewing yourself?"
"Do you want me to die!!"
I have to admit that the mushroom soup is really delicious. Even Chu Guang was greedy and couldn't help buying two bowls, one for Xia Yan.
Sitting in front of the weapon store and rubbing bullets all day, Xia Yan's fingers were rubbed red, his stomach was rumbling, and he felt very wronged.
Looking at the hot mushroom soup handed over by Chu Guang, the little girl was moved to tears, picked up the bowl and drank it all up.
"What kind of soup is this! Wow, it's so delicious!"
Chu Guang had a kind smile on his face.
"It's just an ordinary bowl of mushroom soup, don't mind, I'll treat you."
"Can you be so nice?" Xia Yan held the bowl in her hand and looked at him suspiciously, "I always feel something is wrong, are you hiding something from me?"
"Am I that kind of person?"
Seeing that she even licked the bowl clean, Chu Guang waited for a while before picking up his own bowl and taking a small sip.
Hmm.
It tasted really good, and it tasted like chicken soup. Could it be the legendary chanterelle mushroom? I didn't expect that there were so many good things in this forest.
It's just that the salt was a little less.
...
Outside the wall.
After finishing the last shovel of the trench, the forty newbies carrying shovels finally received their wages for today.
A total of 10 silver coins, plus 100 contribution points.
For newbies, this income can be said to be quite considerable.
With a shovel stuck at his feet, [Sparing the Life of the Knife] standing by the trench was excited and spoke to these newbies in an impassioned voice.
"Congratulations, you have proved your loyalty with your actions!"
"Look at our feet and behind us, this trench will become our most solid first line of defense, and this is the result of our joint efforts!"
This knife brother said everything Chu Guang wanted to say in an impassioned voice.
After thinking about it, there was nothing to add, so Chu Guang walked in front of these newbies who were covered in dust but full of joy on their faces, and skillfully made a summary.
"Welcome to the wasteland."
"From now on, this will be your second home."
Announced disbandment.
The newbies rushed to the market at the north gate, eager to spend their money.
Many people were already hungry.
Digging trenches here doesn't include food, only ghosts would do this job in real life!
The excitement lasted until late at night, and as the gate closed, the noisy noise gradually subsided.
Guards were standing guard on the wall.
Inside the wall was a bustling industrial zone.
Chu Guang, who was sitting on the third floor of the sanatorium, yawned and glanced at the time behind Xiao Qi. Unknowingly, it was already twelve o'clock.
Twelve o'clock in the morning.
The first shift change in the middle of the night has begun.
Chu Guang stood up from the armchair made by Mosquito, stretched his waist, and reached out to pick up Xiao Qi.
"Let's go, I'll take you to charge."
"Master."
"What's wrong?"
"About 521 meters from our north wall, there are about 11 people. Another 10 people have circled to our northwest side and are moving to the west, 611 meters away in a straight line."
"...What?" Chu Guang, who was holding Xiao Qi, was stunned for a moment, subconsciously stretched his neck and glanced out the window, "Why can't I see anything."
Xiao Qi tilted the camera and answered as a matter of course.
"Because my camera can capture infrared light, generally speaking, most cameras can do it, right?"
"...?"
What the hell?
A sneak attack?
Chu Guang, who was a little sleepy at first, was no longer sleepy in an instant.
