This Game Is Too Realistic

After the order was issued, these survivors quickly tore down the shack and headed for the brick factory in the northwest.

Although they came from there before, and now they have been tossed back, no one has any complaints about the arrangements made by the manager.

Being able to come out of the predator's dungeon alive is a lucky thing in itself, let alone being able to wear warm clothes and eat enough.

Fang Chang and Lao Bai, who were measuring the land in the brick kiln, saw the battle, and stopped their work in confusion, walked up to the manager and asked.

Dear Master Manager, may I ask who these people are...

Chu Guang said without hesitation.

These people are survivors who were saved by us. In order to repay our life-saving grace, they are willing to support our construction!

The faces of Fang Chang and Lao Bai immediately showed joy.

The players are all doing novice tasks, and they are worried that there is no one to do coolies. These labors can be said to have solved their urgent needs.

Then how much do we need to pay them?

In fact, there is no need to pay them wages.

But since the players asked for it, Chu Guang said after thinking for a moment out of the consideration of authenticity.

One silver coin per person per day. I will directly deduct this expenditure from your account. You just need to ensure that they are not hungry or frozen to death.

In addition, pay attention to construction safety. I don't want workers to be attrition due to poor working conditions. This will not only affect our regional reputation, but also delay production.

If there are casualties, each will deduct 100 silver coins as a pension.

Of course, it is impossible to pay this pension to NPC, it is just a constraint at the setting level.

Besides, these aborigines don't care much about these metal pieces. For them, such a gadget with no recycling value is better than giving them a piece of meat.

While talking, Chu Guang sent the pre-edited tasks to Lao Bai through his own VM.

Although it is a bit far from the outpost, it does not affect the point-to-point information transmission between the two VM devices.

After triggering the task of hiring NPC workers, Niu Ma Brick Factory will automatically spend 23 silver coins from the account every day as the wages of these employees.

Compared to the wages of at least 10 silver coins per day for players, hiring these NPCs to work can be said to be very cheap.

Fang Chang and Lao Bai agreed together, and immediately agreed happily.

Of course, in order to prevent these players from being less human than himself, Chu Guang immediately added a sentence later.

The minimum food standard per person per day is a catty of green wheat. Of course, this is only the minimum nutritional standard. If you want them to work harder, you can buy more meat and fish, or even go to the city to hunt some game for them. them.

Can feed NPCs!

Good guy.

This game is not only a business element, but also a development element.

Fang Chang and Laobai's eyes lit up, and they immediately said vowedly.

Don't worry, Master Manager, we will definitely feed the workers to make them fat for nothing!

That's right! Even if I'm hungry, I won't let them go hungry!

Emmm...

There is no need to be so exaggerated.

In fact, eating too much is not conducive to working. There is such an example in the outpost.

But Chu Guang didn't say anything.

Exploration itself is part of the fun of the game.

These players will naturally find a suitable path, and it is enough for them to grasp the general direction.

Manipulating everyone's life is neither realistic nor necessary.

...

The 23 survivors settled in the brick factory, from refugees to brick burners at the outpost.

They camped very fast, and in less than an hour, they copied the shack they made in front of the south gate to here.

Although it looks a bit crude, there is no problem with sheltering from wind and rain.

For survivors on the wasteland, quickly building a shelter that can withstand wind and rain is almost a must-have talent.

On the contrary, the players are not very good at it.

Even the garbage king who claims to be level 99 in picking up garbage has never picked up garbage in reality, at most he has gone downstairs to take out garbage.

Watching these survivors build the shack, Chu Guang found Zhao Shu and a survivor from outside Qingquan City, gave them a VM dedicated to NPC, and appointed them as foremen, responsible for communicating with the players. communicate.

If other survivors have any opinions, they will report to the players as soon as possible. In special cases, they can use the mission system to ask players for help.

However, the task rewards of different NPCs all have fixed gear restrictions, and they cannot randomly throw money at players.

This is similar to other MMORPG games.

The highest gear Chu Guang set for the two foremen was only 2 silver coins, which could only be released once every 72 hours. The lowest level is 5 copper coins, and the CD time is 24 hours.

If there are any difficulties in life, such as the shed is leaking and fuel is needed, you can issue the lowest level of tasks to the players. If someone is sick, or someone is injured, you can use the highest level of rewards to issue tasks.

Of course, Chu Guang did not tell these NPCs the name of the mission system and its true meaning, but only abstractly told them how to use these functions carefully and seek reasonable help from those omnipotent blue coats.

Like other NPCs, every time a mission is released and a conversation with players is made, a record will be left in the VM.

Chu Guang would ask Luca to come over after a while, use VM to collect the data, bring it back to the outpost for archiving, and review the data with the assistance of AI.

Only through these data, Chu Guang can easily grasp the communication and interaction between the players and the aborigines, and can also easily check whether these NPCs have released some missions that do not match their personal settings and identities .

If there is, Chu Guang will deal with that BUG.

The newly implemented rules will definitely have loopholes. It just so happens that there are few people in the beta test stage, so you can slowly try and make mistakes.

Looking at the distant figure, Chu Guang touched his chin and thought.

...After the internal testing stage, a relatively complete NPC and player interaction system should be formed.

Um.

As expected of me!

Having arranged everything here, Chu Guang left contentedly.

...

6 p.m. Wasteland time.

After Lao Bai went offline, he immediately posted on the forum.

Extraordinary, extraordinarily! Niuma Brick Factory will officially open from tomorrow! There is a big discount event for the opening, and all orders will be 10% off tomorrow! Players who need to build a house, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and place an order!

At this moment, it is 6 o'clock in the morning on the real side.

The general forums are empty at this time, but the official website of Wasteland OL is just the opposite. Usually, this point has the most people.

Tomato scrambled eggs: How much can you produce per day?

Lao Bai: Not too much, not too much. At present, it is no problem to produce one or two thousand yuan a day. Before the end of the month, we will strive to produce tens of thousands of yuan a day! (Bitter teeth)

Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes: Awesome!

Professor Yang, the king of thunder and lightning: Boss, give me a ton!

Feng Feng: Our bricks are not sold by the ton. The specifications and sizes are fixed. They are all sold by the block. 100 standard bricks cost 1 silver coin.

Ye Shi: Brother Feng is an honest man, what are you talking about with Professor Yang, he doesn't even have the qualifications for beta testing. (Funny)

Ye Ao Nai and I He: Laugh, do you need silver coins for 100 bricks? I beg you to use a pen to do the math. To build a house would cost hundreds of millions of bricks, at least? Not to mention, our small two-story house It only took 500 million yuan, and it costs millions of silver coins to build a house? I heard that you only need single-digit silver coins for a task? Hehe, your game is quite realistic.

Irena: Big brother, is your name called the Forbidden City? Then you have to ask for a ticket when you go back? (Funny)

Keeping people under the knife: Hahaha, let's slap it, the Forbidden City is useless, it is only 80 million yuan. But the specification of that kind of clear mortar brick is much larger.

Irena: I'll just say it offhand. (funny)

A toilet with an inner area of ​​2.5*2m is 3 meters high, and the wall area is 27 square meters. There are 96 bricks in the 18cm wall, and 2600 bricks are more than enough.

Even if most players choose to join houses and build a larger and taller townhouse together, the per capita will not exceed 5,000 bricks.

100 bricks for one silver coin, 50 silver coins per person, this price is still very reasonable.

In the later period, the demand for bricks may increase in price, but the increase and decrease are limited within 100%. Unless the NPC warehouse in charge of the price adjusts the benchmark value, it will increase to 2 silver coins at most.

After all, if it is more expensive, everyone will go to think about building houses with wood, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

Brother Ye Ao is still the same, just like his ID, rebellious and unrestrained, he runs away after pretending to be forced, and doesn't care about anyone.

After all, it was a version pet, and everyone didn't care, and continued the topic just now smoothly.

Picking up trash level 99: Boss Bai, I'm a newbie, can I get credit if I don't have money?

Lao Bai: No, brother, we are just part-time workers, and the majority of the shares are in the shelter collective. But it doesn't matter if you don't have money. Welcome to the brick factory to play. We suddenly have a bunch of NPCs here, which is quite interesting. of.

Ye Shi: Indeed, if you bring prey to them, they will not only say thank you, but will immediately set up a large pot to stew the prey, and then share the best leg meat and the first bowl of broth with you. You. These NPCs seem to be alive, hey, I have played so many games, but this game, the interaction between the player and the NPC is the most comfortable I have ever seen, and the details are the most awesome!

Picking up trash level 99: Damn it? Are you hanging like this? Wait, did you rescue the NPCs from the predators?

Fang Chang: Yes.

Construction site boy and Zhuan: Niubai!! It's actually connected before and after!

Mole on the run in the canyon: Crying with envy! We are still doing tasks for NPCs, and you have already started calling NPCs!

Ward's beriberi Levine: Shadow! I don't care, we have to have it in the steel plant! Or it's shady! (Crazy)

WC really has mosquitoes: Shadow! Goblin technology also needs NPCs!

Ye Shi: Go, go, do you want an NPC with a hammer, use it as a human bomb? I advise you to be a human being.

Fang Chang: Well, it's actually not as exaggerated as you think. Most of these NPCs can't interact with each other, and they will say 'thank you', 'yes', 'obey', and 'brick burner' What. I took a closer look, and only the NPC wearing the VM device is truly interactive, and the rest don't seem very smart.

The mole on the run in the canyon: Well, that's about the same as I thought, it would be more reasonable. If all NPCs can interact, the server of this game is too awesome.

Now there are few people, just a cattle and horse brick factory.

When the number of players increases in the later stage, even if the ratio of NPCs to players is 1:10, it is enough for this server to explode.

Kuangfeng: ...I think just a virtual reality technology is strong enough.

The mole on the run in the canyon: Leaving that aside, have you tried communicating with that NPC that can interact? Did it trigger any special dialogue? Or hidden missions or something?

Fang Chang: ...a hidden mission?

The mole on the run in the canyon: That's right! Generally speaking, don't NPCs with rich text generally have hidden tasks to do? Isn't that what is written in those virtual reality online game novels? Don't you all untested?

Fang Chang was silent for a long time before replying.

...Um, of course I tried, but it doesn't seem like it's meant to trigger the task? They just burn bricks. The task assigned to us by the manager is to let them repair the brick kiln.

The mole on the run in the canyon: Hey, you guys still lack imagination! This MMORPG, let alone a role like a foreman, even a plain old hen at the gate of Xinshou Village, as long as its clucking sound is different from others, it will If it’s not good, it might be a hidden boss! Forget it, it’s useless to talk to you so much, I’ll go online and try it myself in a while.”

Fang Chang: ...I warn you, don't mess around, it's a big problem that affects the production of our brick factory!

Mole on the run in the canyon: Hey, no, no, I'm just talking to him! I promise not to touch your NPC!

Tail: Oh, that sounds interesting, bring a tail!

Sis: Oh, go!

...

Ever since he was thrown into the dungeon by the looters that day, Zhao Shu never thought that one day he would be able to come out of the dungeon alive.

To be honest, the current life is like a dream to him.

With comfortable quilts, a warm brazier, and abundant food, they only need to work 16 hours a day, and the rest of the time is their own.

Not only that, those blue jackets with great skills can occasionally catch a game or two, and serve them as meat.

To be honest, Zhao Shu felt flattered every time he took game from those shelter residents.

They have seen how ruthless these people are.

Even those predators behaved like chickens in front of them, not daring to take a breath. It was the first time Zhao Shu saw those vicious ghosts with such frightened expressions on their faces.

In his cognition, predators are already at the top of the food chain.

Hi, what's your name?

Hearing that a resident of a shelter spoke to him, Zhao Shu immediately stopped, glanced skillfully at the VM worn on his left arm, and read with a non-standard pronunciation.

Hi, my name is Zhao Shu. I'm the foreman here. How can I help you?

These strange pinyin were taught to them by the old Luka a few days ago. It is not difficult to learn the pronunciation of each phonetic symbol, but it is a bit awkward to use.

Hearing his words, the residents of the surrounding shelter were instantly excited.

He can talk!

Sure enough, it can interact!

Dude, can you call Ollie? Please.

Get out! Dude, don't listen to him. Do you have any secrets? Tell us, we will help you solve it!

Zhao Shu looked bewildered.

His VM didn't respond, didn't tell him what these people were talking about, or how to respond.

According to the manager's request, he remained silent, but the residents of the refuge surrounded him relentlessly, babbling non-stop.

Zhao Shu panicked.

He was worried that if he ignored the behavior of these people, he would anger them, and if he didn't do it, he might cause death.

After all, this is the age when a person's life is thinner than paper.

He doesn't think that his life is more precious than these people in front of him.

At this moment, Zhao Shu suddenly remembered another sentence that the manager told him before leaving.

If these shelter residents don't go around him, just click the gray circle button in the upper right corner of the screen and read the pinyin line displayed on the screen.

Without hesitation, Zhao Shu immediately complied.

Swallowing, he said with a stiff expression.

My fellow workers are starving, we need a fish, can you give us a hand?

Hearing this sentence, the players around were so excited that they almost cheered.

Whoa! It's done!

Is the keyword 'task'? Well, next time, try using another syntax to see if it can trigger a similar effect.

The task requires fish, right? Alright!

It's shown on my VM! I'll pick it up—hey! Why is the reward only 5 copper coins?

Maybe part of it is the favorability? Is it a loss to exchange a fish for 5 copper coins? Has any of you ever sold fish?

Never mind him, I've accepted the mission, any fish will do, right? Let's steal one from the fisherman by the lake!

gogogo!

Zhao Shu didn't know what he meant, nor did he understand the players' answers, but he got a fish after a while.

Moreover, this fish is not small, it is as long as an arm, and the powerful fish tail keeps flapping left and right, splashing water everywhere.

Zhao Shu swallowed again.

This time it was greedy.

But having said that, he still didn't forget the manager's instruction, and quickly clicked the green tick on the VM, and read the words displayed on the screen.

Thank you on behalf of the worker brothers, have a great day, generous sir, this fish has helped a lot!

We have no more trouble for you, or can you come back tomorrow?

Hearing this sentence, the players around left disappointed.

that night.

Holding the steaming fish soup in his hand, Zhao Shu, who was eating with his co-workers, thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what he had said to disappoint the blue coats like that.

But he didn't dare to ask more.

Those blue coats are big men.

The only one who can control them is the manager who always carries a hammer.

The manager has repeatedly said that they are forbidden to reveal any clues about the mission system, and it is also forbidden to communicate with the residents of the refuge on this matter.

Zhao Shu didn't dare to disobey that lord's order, he swore that he would not reveal a word even if he died.

In any case, this fish stew is quite delicious, boiled with a few pine nuts and salt, it is simply delicious.

After finishing the bowl of fish soup in hand, everyone has more energy to work!
