After the announcement was issued, Chu Guang did not sit idle and continued to pin his pre-edited posts on the official website forum.
This major update that concerns the interests of all players, of course, he has to talk to the players in his capacity as a planner.
《Developer Log: Alpha 0.3 Version》
”Hello everyone, I am your dearest 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’m not bragging, this alpha 0.3 version update will be the most significant update since the game closed beta started!”
”Before, some friends have complained that the settlement process of contribution points is too troublesome. They must go offline to check, and they can’t 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 the setting and will never pay less wages. I can guarantee this with my character!”
”However, although there is no problem of withholding wages, the problem of the overly cumbersome 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 gameplay cannot be sacrificed for authenticity.”
”Therefore, we decided to design a new set of currencies to replace the original contribution points as the main reward for players from tasks!”
”This currency is very convenient. The face values are mainly divided into 1 and 10, and the colors are brass and silver. It can be used to purchase food, equipment, and other paid services and goods.”
”Yes, after this update, food will no longer be provided for free. Instead, players will need to spend in-game copper or silver coins to purchase it. At the same time, players will also receive money as rewards from tasks… 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. 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 have been opened for use. Both money and weapons can be stored there, except for dangerous goods that are prohibited from being brought into the shelter!”
”What? You ask me if it’s free? Of course it is 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 do not need to be discouraged! Although contribution points are no longer used as currency, your contributions to the shelter and even the entire civilization are all seen by the NPCs.” ”
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… Simply put, 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 as the identity is promoted, this number will continue to expand.”
”More identities and titles will be released in subsequent updates based on the progress of the test.”
”At the same time, the mercenaries, caravans, guilds, legions and other systems that are being designed also have certain requirements for identities and contribution points. ”
After Alpha 0.3, the rewards for daily tasks are mainly in the form of money. Only those who contribute to the overall interests of the outpost can be rewarded with contribution points. This includes but is not limited to holding public positions, solving emergencies, great creations and inventions, etc.”
”Please remember these!”
After the post was sent, it did not immediately cause much movement.
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 go offline, they will naturally see it.
Chu Guang stretched and was about to turn off the computer when he suddenly found that there was an extra reply to the post.
[Ya Ya: What’s going on? It’s updated so soon! ? 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. He won’t sleep without a helmet.
However, he couldn’t do anything about it.
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. Just
bear with it for a while, and you can start work almost tomorrow.
Ignoring this unlucky little player, Chu Guang turned off the computer and got up to go 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, under the leadership of “sparing the knife”, were digging the foundation in the open space in front of the sanatorium, laying yellow mud bricks inside, and applying cement.
It looks like they are building a house.
Chu Guang walked up and asked a player who was moving bricks.
”What are you doing?”
The player was honest and explained with a smile.
”I heard that the new NPC is a weapons dealer, and we are building a weapons store for her!” What
the hell?
Chu Guang was shocked when he heard this.
Is he 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 should be the bathhouse!”
”Didn’t we always go to the lake to wash before, but then we found that it was not safe to do so all the time. Especially yesterday, when Brother Lao Bai just went into the water, he almost got a small earthworm bitten off by a catfish. 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, good luck to you guys.”
”Paying attention to hygiene is a good thing…”
The player said with a chuckle.
”Okay! Then I’ll get busy first.”
”Go.”
Time soon reached evening.
Brother Chaodan set up an iron pot in the open space, 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 pot and stir-fried them over high heat, and sprinkled salt for seasoning.
Tonight’s menu is fried venison with fern and lightly cooked green wheat porridge.
Thanks to the reindeer killed by the manager, 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 question, Lao Bai smiled and said.
”You made it?” Chu Guang looked at him in surprise, and then asked, “Is your blast furnace… ready to use?”
”It’s already working! Although the quality of the steel produced is only average, there is no problem in making some tools.”
Lao Bai smiled proudly and continued,
”I just wanted to report to you, but I couldn’t find you, hehe.”
I didn’t expect that even the technology of making steel by primitive methods has been mastered by these players.
Although the quality of the 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, and his face was full of admiration.
”You did a great job, and I will report your contribution to the organization.”
”You and Lai Rifangchang will receive a reward of 1,000 contribution points… as a reward for solving the steel demand of the outpost.”
Lao Bai was overjoyed and said quickly.
”It’s 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 a bit too easy for me to be a manager.
I remember when I was in Bette Street, Chu Guang heard old Charlie from the grocery store say that most managers of shelters don’t end up 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 bad situation and put forward some unrealistic ideas.
Few predators can break through the iron walls of the shelter head-on. Those weapons that are like tickling are not worthy of leaving a scratch on the door of the shelter. Most of the shelters abandoned by unnatural factors are self-disintegrated due to internal contradictions 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 Chu Guang just took over the management authority of Shelter No. 404, he was actually a little uneasy in his heart. He was worried that he would not do this job well, so he had always left himself a way out on Bette 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.
Walking to the cooking stove.
Chu Guang held a bowl and said to Brother Chaodan who had just finished cooking a pot of vegetables.
”Give me a bowl too.”
Chaodan 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.
Could it be that the artificial intelligence has been upgraded?
”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.”
”Yeah.”
Chu Guang nodded in thanks, and asked Brother Chaodan to serve him a spoonful of fried venison, and poured it directly on the thick green wheat porridge, and then turned and walked towards the direction of the shelter elevator.
