Night Ten: “Let me see, who is behind this? (funny)”
Canyon Fugitive Mole: “Bank! The banking system is out!”
Professor Yang, the King of Lightning: “Fuck! Why am I not here again! TT”
Human Body Outlining Master: “I don’t care! If I’m not here
, then there is something behind this!” What Can I Do With You: “Haha, stop acting, robots. Anyway, I won’t make an appointment, and I won’t make an appointment even if you kill me, haha, you’re just trying to trick me, and you can’t make an appointment at all.”
Irena: “No, brother, how do you know you can’t make an appointment if you haven’t even made one? Could it be… (funny)”
Canyon Fugitive Mole: “Wait, haven’t you paid attention to the banking system? There is a bank in this update!!”
Lao Bai: “…Aren’t banks in the game just places to save money? What’s so exciting about that?”
Night Ten: “That’s right, it can’t even let you take out a loan, what are you thinking. (funny)”
Canyon Fugitive Mole: “Uh, okay, that’s true.”
It’s not entirely accurate to say it’s a place to save money.
In other games, this function is definitely for the convenience of players, but in Wasteland OL, it is definitely for Chu Guang’s own convenience.
The number of silver coins is limited. Now, the average player has 50 to 60 silver coins in their lockers, which is not a small amount.
Especially for a big dog like Mosquito, if he had not just customized a gun barrel and the funds flowed to the corporate account of the No. 81 Steel Plant, he would probably have 200 silver coins now.
In addition, the currency circulation in the outpost is getting higher and higher. Not only are the players using the currency they issue, but even the refugees nearby are gradually accepting these small coins.
Recycling currency is imperative.
And opening a bank is undoubtedly the best choice!
For players, being able to keep money in a bank will definitely be much more convenient than it is now. The death penalty in Wasteland OL includes all drops. Many people have to go back to the shelter to withdraw money when they want to buy things, which is too troublesome.
It is better to integrate the currency system on the VM and open a personal account for each player, so that it is convenient for you to “print money” and for players to spend money.
In the future, transactions can be completed directly between two VM devices within the signal coverage of the outpost.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to enter the era of mobile payment directly?
As usual, after Chu Guang posted the announcement, he immediately updated the post he had just edited on the official website.
The changes in this update are quite big.
It is necessary to have a good chat with his little leeks.
《Developer Log: Alpha 0.6》
Guang: “Hello everyone, I am your most beloved planner! After slaughtering 12 siege lions, the outpost finally has enough food! So we specially recruited 50 young players to join the game, let us applaud the European emperors!”
”Let’s put the matter of the European emperor aside for now. After five consecutive days and five nights of meetings, the department finally made a decision to add a sub-page called “Property” in the VM.”
”Through this page, as long as you are within the coverage of the shelter signal, you can easily check a series of personal properties including bank account balances, land, shops, shares, etc.”
”Of course, this also includes your equipment!”
”Yes, there are more and more players in the server now. I believe that you are all good children who abide by the rules, but in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, we decided to launch an equipment ‘binding’ service to maintain fairness and justice in the program!”
”Any equipment you think is valuable can be photographed and scanned at the administrator assistant NPC, and the filing price can be filled in by yourself. After the scan is completed, the equipment will be bound to your personal account and registered in the VM’s ‘Property’ page in the form of pictures and texts. The minimum handling fee is 1 silver coin, and if the filing price exceeds 100 silver coins, it will be charged at 1%.”
”The bound equipment will be protected by the laws of the shelter, and even if it is picked up by other players, the ownership of the equipment cannot be changed. If the equipment is unfortunately lost due to death or other reasons, the player only needs to pay 10% of the ‘registration price’ as a deposit to claim ownership of the equipment. The player who picked up the equipment must return the equipment to the shelter within the time limit. At the same time, the returner will receive the ‘deposit’ paid by the owner as a reward.”
”If the latter refuses to return the equipment, or even maliciously abandons or damages the equipment, he will be punished for theft and damage to personal property in accordance with the rules and user manual of the game. In addition, the owner of the equipment can also set an additional bounty and add more details including the location of the loss, issue a bounty task for the equipment, and seek help from other players.”
”Please remember that rules only constrain the bottom line of morality. Even if it is unbound equipment, we do not recommend that you take other people’s equipment as your own. Your words and deeds will affect the evaluation of others. A noble character will shine in both the real world and the virtual world. Don’t lose the big picture for the small.”
”In addition, based on the suggestions of the players, we are developing a ‘credit score’ system based on the existing social functions. Players with high credit scores will be more likely to trigger high-quality tasks and have a better gaming experience. Currently, the system is only running as a hidden parameter. It is expected to be displayed on your personal homepage after the internal testing phase.”
”In short! The biggest change that will affect everyone this time is that everyone will be able to pay directly with VM in the future! No need to worry about counting money anymore!”
”For the newly developed bank function, we have arranged a special NPC to serve as the first bank president of Shelter No. 404!”
”Happy gaming, everyone! I’m going to work overtime first.”
After the post was sent out, the popularity soared instantly, and the number of replies exceeded one hundred after a few refreshes.
All the good names were taken by dogs: “Wait, who is this special NPC?!”
Battlefield atmosphere group: “Master planner, don’t leave!”
Ye Shi: “I’m so angry! A Guang is keeping us in suspense again!”
WC is really full of mosquitoes: “Damn it! Can you see it in the game now?”
Fang Chang: “You can’t see it. It’s still late at night in the game. There is no one on duty on the surface except the NPCs in charge of warehouses and granaries.”
Without replying to those posts one by one, Chu Guang closed the forum and calmly started a game of “Napoleon Total War”.
However, after playing for only a few dozen rounds, Chu Guang got bored.
The main reason is that there is no sense of immersion.
”Tsk, these lobster soldiers, how cowardly are they?”
”Shoot from the front, rush from the side, and the flag will turn white. If you get close to the face, just use the bayonet to stab! Run away!”
”Oh, loser, I won’t play anymore.”
Compared with his own players, they are just scum!
Chu Guang, who closed the game, thought to himself, maybe he should download a MOD to lock morale?
This should be more immersive.
…
Chu Guang, who closed “Na Zhan”, finally opened “Stellaris”. After maxing out his technology, he started to hang up. As a result, he watched the sea all night without realizing it.
Chu Guang took a nap in the middle. When he came to his senses, all the fallen brothers had been eaten by the xenophobic vassals he had released out of boredom.
He took a look at the time. Wow, it’s already morning!
If he took a nap at this time, he could go to the north gate to visit the players’ market when he got up.
Chu Guang suddenly realized that it was not just Boss Xia who was slacking off. Since the fall of the Blood Hand Clan, he had been living too comfortably these days, making him a little slack.
This can’t go on.
The mutant tribe on Street 76 has not been pushed yet, and the harsh winter has just begun. There will be more severe challenges waiting after the cold winter ends.
After cheering up again, Chu Guang put on the exoskeleton, put the hammer on his back, and stretched his stiff bones and muscles.
Today is Xiaoyu’s first day on the job!
Even if I want to catch up on some sleep, I have to wait.
Chu Guang cheered up and walked towards the elevator.
Just as he got on the elevator and headed to the surface, a crowd of players had already gathered in front of the main door of the sanatorium .
”Is this the bank?”
”The official website says it’s here.”
”Why are there no NPCs?”
”It’s probably not time yet!”
The bank at the outpost is located at the end of the corridor on the first floor of the sanatorium.
Since the bank is still in the trial operation stage, the land has just been planned on the map, and the foundation has not yet started, so they temporarily borrowed an empty room on the first floor of the sanatorium as a storefront. The conditions do look a little shabby.
The only furniture here is a table and a chair, as well as a wooden sign hanging vertically at the door – with the two big words “Bank” written on it.
The players gathered around, their faces full of curiosity and excitement, and from time to time they whispered to their teammates next to them.
At this moment, a thin figure emerged from the crowd, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked to the wooden table at the door of the bank and sat down.
Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, Xiaoyu felt like a deer had broken into her heart, and her heart was beating non-stop.
But thinking that she could finally help Brother Chu, she took a deep breath and cheered herself up secretly in her heart.
Come on, Xiaoyu!
You can do it!
Recalling the lines she memorized last night, she raised her head bravely.
”Silver, bank!”
”Opened…”
Maybe it was because she was not familiar with the language of the players, or maybe it was just because of nervousness.
Xiaoyu, who had put all her strength into it, accidentally used too much force, and the tone of the first two words reached the ceiling. So much so that when she was only halfway through her words, she became weaker and weaker as if she had lost air, and at the end it was just a mosquito’s buzzing.
Her face flushed, as if she had been scalded by boiling water.
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be “cold”, she hurriedly tried to save the situation. She was so anxious that she forgot the words for a moment and bit her tongue. The pain almost squeezed out tears. She was so
embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. With tears in her eyes, Xiaoyu endured the pain and finally completed her task with strength.
”Do you want to save money?”
For a moment, Xiaoyu felt that she had failed Brother Chu’s expectations and this sacred and glorious profession.
Woo…
So embarrassing!
However, Xiaoyu, whose face was as red as an apple, did not expect that this opening speech of only two sentences would unexpectedly make the atmosphere on the scene boil instantly.
”
Aa
…
We must not disappoint Brother Chu—and the expectations of the “players”!
“Customers who want to deposit money, please line up.”
“Before you go out on an adventure, please leave your money with Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu will definitely keep it for you!”
“Be careful along the way!”
The players lined up in an orderly manner and placed the silver coins in their hands on the table.
Xiaoyu, who was gradually getting into the state, meticulously counted the silver and copper coins on the table.
She would count each coin twice carefully, and then sort them into a box beside her. Then she would use a VM device dedicated to work to deposit the values into the player’s account.
The work of the bank gradually got on the right track. Chu Guang, who had been secretly observing from the side, finally nodded with satisfaction.
Not bad.
It seems that his decision was correct.
In fact, at the beginning, Chu Guang planned to let Old Luca be the bank president, but Old Luca was good at counting materials and was honest enough. It was really difficult for him to do such brain-intensive work as arithmetic. Besides, Old
Luca had more important things to do.
Compared with collecting silver coins from players, Chu Guang needed a loyal servant to help him manage other servants. And for this role, only Old Luca, who was born as a serf, was the most suitable. It would not work if he replaced him with anyone else.
After thinking about it, Xiaoyu was the most suitable person for the job of bank president.
The president in the game and the president in reality are two different concepts. The former is more like a customer service, or a window teller.
Serious, stubborn, honest, and keeping promises, these are Xiaoyu’s strengths, and they can be confirmed with her own eyes.
In addition, she is also diligent and smart enough. She learned Arabic numerals and basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in just one day, and memorized the lines before going to bed.
This efficiency is enough to make a certain weapon shop owner feel ashamed!
And the most important thing is that Xiaoyu’s image can easily win the favor of players. Those big eyes as bright and clear as morning dew will eclipse even silver coins.
If Xiaoyu were to be the president of the bank, I believe that players would work harder and willingly offer the silver coins they earned with both hands.
Well, your little Klee is the president, so you can’t still yell about the street lamp stalk?
Can you bear it?
Doesn’t your conscience hurt? Is it reasonable
not to call the planner daddy?
It’s hard not to be unreasonable.
Finally, taking a look at the long line from the bank door to the outside of the sanatorium, Chu Guang turned around and left with satisfaction.
At the same time, there was a weapons shop not far from the sanatorium.
The door had been open for a while, but there was still no customer.
Xia Yan sat at the door of the weapons shop with a bored look on her face, her eyes drifting towards the bank from time to time, until someone came out and turned to the industrial area in the south.
Unable to resist a yawn, Boss Xia picked up the tools, straightened the bumpy copper sheet, put on the mold, hammered it into shape, and filled it with primer.
Always feel like you have fallen out of favor?
”It’s really strange.”
No one has come to bother her until today.
It made her sleepy.
