Chapter 120 Alpha061 version! Major adjustments to the dungeon gameplay!

  Chapter 120 Alpha 0.61 version! Major adjustments to the dungeon gameplay!

  On the way back from the abandoned department store, the four members of the Niu Ma team felt that the wind blowing in their faces was sweet.

  The sun was setting in the west.

  When Fang Chang and his group appeared at the north gate of the outpost with a full cart of supplies, almost all the players’ eyes bulged out.

  ”Fuck?!”

  ”Awesome!!!”

  ”Did you f*cking adjust the control console???”

  ”Planning dad, please, cut it down quickly! If you don’t, these people will go to heaven!”

  A full cart of loot!

  And all the things visible to the naked eye are good stuff!

  This is too exaggerated!

  The sisters Qiu Cao and Qiu Ye, who were sitting in front of the stall, were attracted by the movement over there and looked over. Especially the younger sister, who stretched her neck curiously, wanting to see clearly what was in the caravan.

  But just when she was about to stand up, her sister reached out and pulled her back.

  Qiu Cao shook her head and touched her sister’s head.

  ”You can’t look around, it’s impolite.”

  Qiu Ye pouted in grievance and lowered her head.

  ”I know.”

  However, she was still very curious.

  Although she couldn’t understand what these blue coats were saying, and couldn’t see clearly what was on the caravan, she always felt that they seemed very excited.

  Could it be…

  a baby was born?

  The players were envious and jealous, and kept shouting that it was too unreasonable. Many people shouted “Dad, the planner”.

  Hearing someone shouting “The planner”, Ye Shi couldn’t sit still. With A Guang’s personality, he must be peeking at the screen at this moment, and he must have heard it!

  Without hesitation, he shouted back.

  ”Cut the chicken! Do you know how hard it is for me to go down? Two crawlers! One in front and one behind! There are also hundreds of gnawers. Do you know how we defeated them? Damn, I cut two of my knives!”

  Looking at Ye Shi pretending to be cool, Fang Chang couldn’t help but hold his forehead.

  Lao Bai didn’t waste any words. He took Ye Shi by the collar and led him away like a chicken.

  ”Fuck! Don’t pull me. I haven’t finished talking yet!”

  ”Be honest!”

  ”That’s right! Be honest!”

  Kuangfeng and Fang Chang pulled the wagon full of supplies and passed through the north gate without stopping, heading for the NPC warehouse.

  If these newbies knew that this full wagon of supplies was just the tip of the iceberg in the shelter, I wonder what they would think.

  As for how rich the supplies on the wagon are?

  A summary in one sentence.

  These supplies have become so rich that the warehouse manager has to ask for help from his superior, Old Luca. Old Luca is also helpless in the face of the supplies in the wagon. He doesn’t know what to do and can only continue to report to his superior, the manager.

  ”…Sir, I really don’t know how to set the price. I can only trouble you to decide it yourself.” Standing in front of Chu Guang with trepidation, Luca lowered his head as if he had made a mistake.

  Without bothering to reply, Chu Guang walked straight to the front of the caravan, took a look inside, and his brows suddenly jumped.

  Damn! I

  ’m rich!

  Looking back at the four excited little players, Chu Guang nodded with approval.

  ”Your performance exceeded my expectations… To be honest, I didn’t expect you to bring back so many things.”

  Seeing the expression on the manager’s face, the four little players became even more excited.

  I’m rich, I’m rich!

  Fang Chang raised his head and chest, and said respectfully.

  ”Dear manager, it is our honor to contribute to the great cause of rebuilding civilization!”

  Ye Shi also answered from the side.

  ”That’s right! It’s our honor!”

  ”I’m glad you think so, but clear rewards and punishments are also an important part of rebuilding civilization. I will calculate the rewards that belong to you,” Chu Guang glanced at the caravan and continued, “It will take some time to count these supplies. I will give you a suitable amount before midnight…including the settlement of other resources you found in the dungeon.”

  Chu Guang had used drones to OB them before, and also collected their chat recordings in the game, so he knew exactly what they were doing there.

  The four players didn’t doubt how the administrator knew about it. After all, is it strange that NPCs know the whereabouts of players?

  Not strange at all!

  This guy can even kick people offline.

  However, when they heard the administrator use the word “dungeon” to refer to the shelter they found under the department store, the four people showed excitement on their faces.

  Dungeon! Sure enough,

  the one they cleared was a hidden dungeon!

  Although the dungeons in this game are all one-time…

  Fang Chang looked respectful.

  ”We are not in a hurry, everything is up to you!”

  He left the caravan next to the warehouse.

  Fang Chang and his group carried Irena to the corpse room, and then took the elevator back to the shelter, ready to log off and get up.

  Chu Guang threw the job of counting the spoils to Xiao Qi, and then told Luca to issue a task to recruit some strength and physical players, and take them to drag the supplies under the department store back.

  ”…The map has been updated in your VM. If you can’t find the way, turn on the automatic path finding.”

  ”Remember, after you get there, bring back everything you can take away!”

  ”Don’t leave even a screw!”

  After explaining these things, Chu Guang stood in the elevator and returned to the shelter, turned on the computer and began to edit the update announcement of Alpha 0.61.

  That’s right, the version number is not 0.7, but 0.61.

  This update content is only a supplement to version 0.6.

  As for why the sudden update?

  In fact, it is not entirely because of the problem of “income settlement” in the Niu Ma team’s copy. A large part of the reason is that there was a problem with the mole brother’s convoy.

  Let’s talk about the Niu Ma team first.

  The battle at the abandoned department store was a brilliant one.

  Chu Guang barely had to worry about anything as they wiped out all the aliens in the underground garage and returned with a truck full of supplies.

  Moreover, these materials are all very high-quality industrial raw materials!

  Especially those high-quality metal materials such as chromium ingots and tungsten ingots, which are stuffed in a large pile in the caravan. It looks like there are at least thousands of kilograms. If you want to buy these materials, you can only import them from Honghe Town, and the price is not cheap.

  As for precious metals such as gold and silver, they are excellent conductors and are indispensable for making precision instruments.

  Not to mention those non-metallic consumables and chemicals, which are all valuable good things.

  Now the key to the problem is, how to calculate the profit?

  If it is handled to the NPC warehouse, his little players will definitely lose a lot of money. Many varieties have no corresponding orders at all and can only be recycled as garbage.

  If you want to maximize the profit, you can only drag it to the market at the north gate and sell it slowly, but in this way, I am afraid that it may not be sold out until next month.

  After all, the number of life players who need these materials can be counted on one hand.

  The most reasonable solution is that Chu Guang directly offers a price and buys the materials produced by the entire copy in the form of reward settlement.

  It is equivalent to wholesale of bulk commodities.

  This is actually not that difficult to say. Anyway, giving money to players is just moving silver coins from one pocket to another for Chu Guang.

  Now that there is a bank, even the step of moving pockets is saved.

  Profit settlement is a small problem.

  What Alpha0.61 really wants to solve is the imbalance of dungeon gameplay and the problems with the distribution mechanism!

  This problem did not appear in the Niu Ma team, but it was actually quite serious in the “Greenhouse Ruins” of Brother Mole. The

  dungeons of “Wasteland OL” are different from traditional MMORPGs, and even strictly speaking, they cannot be considered “dungeons”.

  First of all, the dungeons of “Wasteland OL” will not be refreshed after being cleared once.

  Secondly, the number and difficulty of monsters do not increase with the progress of the strategy. In many cases, they decrease with the progress of the strategy.

  This may be in line with the logic of reality, but not in line with the logic of the game.

  After all, orthodox RPG games will give players time to level up and put the most difficult BOSS at the end of the level.

  However, in Wasteland OL, the hardest bone to chew is probably the first line of defense. After breaking through the first line of defense, the rest is harvesting.

  This mechanism determines that the further the dungeon is pushed, the easier it is. The players who open up the wasteland will be thankless. They may not get any benefits even if they throw their lives and equipment into it. Obviously

  , Brother Fang Chang probably thought of this layer in advance. After discovering the good stuff, he didn’t make a fuss on the forum at all. A group of people made a fortune there.

  Until he couldn’t chew it anymore, he went to the forum to shake a passerby of the physical system. When discussing the details, he went to private chat without saying a word. Until the dungeon was cleared, many players didn’t know that there was this dungeon.

  They ate a fish from beginning to end, so naturally there would be no problem of uneven distribution of benefits or being picked by other players.

  But when they got to the “Greenhouse Ruins”, it was a completely different situation.

  From the time the dungeon was developed to now, the number of players who played there has quadrupled, almost turning into a hundred-regiment war!

  If it wasn’t for seeing it through the drone and VM map, Chu Guang wouldn’t have believed that nearly fifty players had squeezed into the first floor of the greenhouse, which was not spacious to begin with!

  What’s more, these later players had almost no output. They were busy harvesting the cocoons of the devil moths in the back, picked up two and ran away.

  If the players who worked hard in the front had no objections, then there was something fishy!

  According to the posts on the forum, Chu Guang gradually realized that the current dungeon had a serious “bug” in the gameplay mechanism.

  Under the current gameplay mechanism, first of all, the value of intelligence cannot be reflected, and secondly, the players who pioneered the land have become the scapegoats. The ones who earn money are either the old YBs who made a fortune in silence, or the ones who sneaked in later to pick up the leaks.

  Is this reasonable?

  Not at all!

  If it is still like this during the internal test stage, who would be stupid enough to share the strategy?

  As the embodiment of justice, Chu Guang certainly won’t sit idly by.

  Fairness is the second principle after the server environment. Since there are bugs in the existing gameplay mechanism, it must be adjusted!

  [Alpha0.61 version update: dungeon rules adjustment! 】

  After typing a line of title, Chu Guang continued to edit the details of the adjustment in the document.

  First of all, the definition.

  Including special facilities such as alien nests, hidden resource points, and shelter ruins, as long as the search value is greater than 100 silver coins and has a certain threat level, they will be marked as “copy” on the map.

  The income of small copies will be settled immediately after the clearance, and large copies may be divided into multiple small copies, and the income will be settled in stages according to the progress of the strategy.

  In principle, you must first obtain the “exploration right” to enter the copy.

  Players can only have the exploration right of one copy at the same time, and the copy is only authorized to one player.

  Authorized players can organize their own teams and enter the copy to explore. If other players illegally break into the copy that has been authorized to explore, it will be regarded as an infringement of the exploration right, and a fine will be imposed depending on the specific circumstances, and the infringed players will be compensated.

  Based on the time when the VM uploads the map data, the first discoverer of the copy will automatically obtain the priority exploration right of the copy after the clues are uploaded and the judgment is completed.

  ”A copy doesn’t need so many players to rush in. It’s inefficient and easy to cause trouble if they all squeeze into one copy. It’s better to spread out and explore more copies.”

  ”Protecting the rights of the discoverers of ‘high-value resource points’ can also promote players to discover more good things.”

  ”Well, not only the number of authorizations must be limited, but also the time must be limited… to eliminate those who occupy the toilet without doing anything.”

  Chu Guang continued to edit the document.

  Depending on the copy type, the authorization period for priority exploration rights is between 3 and 7 days!

  During the period, the discoverer of the copy and his teammates can explore the copy first, or transfer the priority exploration rights to other players through transactions.

  However, it should be noted that the transfer behavior will not trigger a re-time. In other words, the transferee can only obtain the remaining time of the right.

  If unfortunately, the player still fails to clear the copy before the end of the priority exploration right period, the priority exploration right will be removed.

  At the same time, the outpost will re-evaluate the difficulty of the copy based on the existing intelligence, set a guaranteed clearance reward, and then publicly auction the exploration rights of the copy.

  50% of the proceeds from the auction will be used to compensate players who lose the priority to explore, and the other 50% will go to the outpost,

  which can be regarded as compensation for the pioneering players.

  After all, every bullet fired is worth money, and it would be too pitiful to have no compensation at all.

  Of course, the pioneering players who have lost the priority exploration right can also participate in the auction if they think it is worth continuing to pay for this dungeon.

  After the dungeon is cleared, the outpost will evaluate the dungeon income according to the specific situation and give a reasonable valuation.

  Players can decide for themselves whether to settle the dungeon income with the preset guaranteed reward or according to the evaluation price given by the NPC.

  If you do not choose, the maximum of the two will be taken by default.

  At the same time, after the dungeon is cleared, the exploration right will be automatically invalidated.

  Players can continue to look for the next dungeon as a strategy target, and the outpost will also re-plan the plots, areas, and facilities that have been completed.

  Players can make reasonable suggestions.

  But whether they are adopted depends on the judgment of the relevant NPC.

  As for the dungeons explored before version 0.61, the priority exploration right will be removed by default, and they will directly enter the auction process to re-dispose of the exploration right.

  According to the rule of who discovers first, [Edge Pad], who first marked the dungeon entrance through VM and successfully brought the map data back to the shelter to upload, may become the biggest winner of this version update.

  Although he lost the priority exploration right, according to the auction rules, he will receive 50% of the exploration right auction proceeds as compensation.

  As for whether he wants to share a share with [Makabazi] who accompanied him to OB, that is a matter between the two of them.

  …

  When Chu Guang uploaded the announcement of the Alpha 0.61 version update to the official website, it was exactly 6:30 in the morning in the real world.

  This time is also the busiest time of the day for the official website.

  There are no surprises.

  Almost at the moment when the announcement of the 0.61 version update appeared on the homepage of the official website, the topic in the forum was immediately ignited.

  Tail: “Throne! (｀)Ψ”

  Xiao Xiaoxiao Bookworm: “!!! Big news! This time the version number has become 0.61!”

  Canyon Fleeing Mole: “The official has finally noticed the problem with the dungeon gameplay mechanism. If they don’t take care of it, this team will really be impossible to lead! TT”

  Elf King Fugui: “I feel sorry for brother Mole. He is almost driven crazy by the newcomers who are taking a ride. (Funny)”

  Meat Mountain Big Bun: “Wait, what does this announcement mean? In the future, only one team can enter a dungeon at the same time?”

  Tail: “What?! Tail can’t fish in troubled waters in the future?!!! ∑(Дノ)ノ”

  Sisi: “Awei, stop it, please don’t be so righteous.”

  Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes: “Damn, one dungeon is bound to one person? If there are more people in the future, can the server handle it?”

  Stop Bullshitting: “I don’t think it’s reasonable! It’s an auction again! Mosquitoes will definitely raise their placards blindly!”

  There are really mosquitoes in WC: “Fuck! Am I that kind of person? And even if I hold up a sign, I won’t just sit there and do nothing, okay?”

  Stop bullshitting: “Have you ever been to the front line?!”

  There are really mosquitoes in WC: “Why haven’t you been there? Although I didn’t go there, my equipment did!”

  Stop bullshitting: “Stop bragging! You killed more monsters than fish!”

  Teng Teng: “Okay, okay, stop arguing. By the way, when will my textile machine be finished? The baby is going to cry. QAQ”

  Yaer I want to go to the toilet: “Teng Teng, don’t cry! It’s almost there, just a few parts missing! Look, I have a workbench and rubber for the piston. I promise to make it for you within three days!”

  The mole on the run in the canyon: “By the way, does anyone know Brother Fang, Their copy income? Why didn’t I see them show off?”

  Irena: “(funny)”

  Night Ten: “(funny)”

  Lao Bai: “…Speaking of which, when will the exploration rights of the ‘Greenhouse Ruins’ copy be auctioned? (squinting)”

  Kuangfeng: “Exciting. (funny)”

  Canyon is trapping moles: “Wait! ! What do you want to do? (terrified)”

  Fang Chang: “Ahem, Mole brother… I’m sorry.”

  Canyon is trapping moles: “Good brother, give me a chance! I’m going to clear it! ∑(っ°Д°;)っ”

  Fang Chang: “Next time for sure!”
