Chapter 50 Hard-working players
How long does it take to harvest 100 kilograms of mushrooms?
Chu Guang didn’t know for sure, as he usually wouldn’t touch those things. He always
made his own food, and would never choose fungi as food unless it was absolutely necessary.
As for Yaya, she walked out of the shelter with a dejected look on her face. As soon as she stepped onto the open space in front of the sanatorium, she was shocked by the scene in front of her.
”This, is the map updated?!” It was
a scene I had never seen before!
The sanatorium was surrounded by a three-meter-high concrete wall. Cement blocks and rubble formed a slope on the inside of the concrete wall.
The top of the wall was made of a simple shelter made of the hood removed from a scrap car and aluminum alloy bars picked up from the wasteland.
It looked quite cyberpunk.
Not only the wall, but also two small houses, one large and one small, with brick and wood structures, stood in front of the sanatorium.
There were wooden signs hanging on the doors of the houses, one of which said “weapon shop” and the other “bathhouse”.
Three days without going online felt like a century.
The changes in this version update were too big.
Yaya was confused.
It took her a while to find the door of the fence. When she walked over, she saw two players standing next to them, using hammers and nails to fix sharpened wooden stakes into a row.
”What are you doing?” Yaya asked curiously as she approached.
The two players didn’t even raise their heads, and were busy and happy.
Yaer I want to go to the bathroom: “Make fences and bunkers. The task is to get it in the carpenter’s hut! It only takes two people. You are late!”
Ward foot foot who Levin: “That’s right! Reinforce a bunker and you can get 5 silver coins and 50 tribute! If someone attacks, we push the fence to the door. Even if they break through the wooden door, we can surround them with bunkers and then shoot from a distance! It’s very useful!”
”By the way, do we need to make such a fuss? Look at what is written on the task board. Isn’t it enough to put two wooden stakes horizontally?”
”You know shit! This is a wooden anti-tank barricade imitating the World War II period! When conditions permit, wrap it with barbed wire. Not to mention a few rag-collecting looters, even if the green-skinned muscle guy comes, he will be blocked in this door and killed like a chicken.”
”Stop bragging. It’s just a broken fence. I almost believed it.”
As they talked, the two players seemed to argue about the practicality of this fortification.
Yaya looked confused and heard a question mark.
Silver coins?
Is it the currency that was recently updated?
What is the task in the logging hut? Didn’t we see the tasks on the plastic cards before?
Yaya thought to herself.
It seems that this update has made a big change…
In any case, I have to finish the punishment task quickly and restore my resident status, otherwise I won’t experience this version and the new version will come.
Thinking of this, Yaya decided to find a container for mushrooms first.
However, when she wanted to pick up a plastic bucket, she found that the garbage piled in the sanatorium had been collected and stored in a wooden shed.
When she walked over, she found a player sitting in front of a wooden table with his legs crossed. There was a notebook on the table and a marker hanging next to it.
Seeing Yaya coming, the player raised his eyes and said in surprise.
”Huh? You’re alive?”
Yaya was stunned.
”Do you know me?”
The player said with a grin.
”Nonsense, how can you not know each other? Since the server was launched, you are the only one who has given it away for free.”
Yaya was so angry that he wanted to hit him, but he felt that he might not win, so he glared at him unhappily.
”Get out of the way, I’ll get a bucket.”
”A small bucket costs 1 copper coin, a large bucket costs 2 copper coins.”
”What?” Yaya widened his eyes, “These rubbish cost money?”
Why don’t you just rob them!
”Sister, I didn’t set these rules, I’m just working here,” the player made a helpless expression and turned the oil pen in his hand, “If you have any opinions, go find the NPC.”
”But where would I get the money when I just resurrected,” Yaya said with a smile, “Hey little brother, can you be flexible? I’ll return it when I’m done with it.”
”No, no, you will be punished if you don’t follow the rules. All that can be done are those steel tools, and these rubbish can only be sold, not rented,” the player was quite straight, shaking his head like a wave drum, “Didn’t everyone get 5 copper coins with the version update? It’s not expensive, why don’t you just buy one?”
Yaya was stunned.
”Ah?! The money was sent? Why didn’t I receive it?”
The player obviously didn’t know, and scratched the back of his head.
”Uh… could it be a problem of favorability?”
”Did you offend the NPC?”
Hearing that the favorability had dropped, Ya Ya was so sad that she was about to cry.
Damn!
I have already been punished, and my favorability is still going to drop?
At this moment, a voice like the sound of nature came from behind.
”I’ll pay for her.”
Ya Ya turned around suddenly, and saw a 1.5-meter-tall dwarf holding a pile of thick animal fur coats, walking to the table in the warehouse, and placing the goods heavily on the wooden table.
”Hey, a total of 2 pieces, you take note!”
”Wait.”
The player opened the notebook in his hand and wrote a line of words on it with a marker.
[On…day…time, “tailor” Teng Teng completed 2 hyena fur coats. ]
After becoming a tailor, as long as a certain number of orders are completed every day, in addition to the guaranteed basic salary, each finished coat of good quality can be rewarded with 2 silver coins.
Of course, players can also make their own coats by purchasing materials such as animal skins and fibers from warehouses, and then sell them to other players or warehouses. This
is equivalent to being a self-employed business owner.
The profit of a coat made in this way is about 1 to 5 silver coins. And if it is made very well, when everyone has money, maybe some players will spend a lot of money to buy it.
Teng Teng plans to wait until his skills are more proficient, save some money to buy a piece of land, and open a clothing store at the main entrance of the sanatorium. Would
n’t it be more profitable to open a store by yourself than to work for an NPC?
”Teng Teng…”
Yaya came to her senses and grabbed Teng Teng’s arm, tears of emotion welling up in her eyes.
She didn’t expect that after she came out, the only person who reached out to help her was Teng Teng, who had had an argument with her.
Teng Teng felt a little embarrassed by her look, and blushed and pulled her hand away.
”…Don’t look at me like that, it’s just a copper coin, not much money. Big deal, you can just pay it back to me later!”
”I’m sorry, I was wrong before, you’re so nice!”
”…Well, I didn’t bother with you, anyway, you should work hard, I still have to make clothes, I’m leaving first.”
Leaving a copper coin on the table, Teng Teng turned around and prepared to leave with the animal skins piled in the wooden basket, but Yaya took it and said attentively.
”Let me help you!”
”No, no, you go and do your thing, just leave me alone.”
Teng Teng was overwhelmed and stretched out her hand to take the things back, but because of her height problem, she couldn’t reach it, and Yaya dodged it nimbly.
Raising the wooden basket in his hand, the warm-hearted Ya Ya said with a grin.
”How can that be! You are so small, how can I let you carry so many things. Where is your workstation? I’ll help you get there.”
”…”
Why is this guy talking so much?
Teng Teng’s forehead was covered with black lines, and his shoulders trembled slightly.
Fists, hard!
…
Carpenter’s hut.
Brother Mosquito, sitting on a stool, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, skillfully fixed two pieces of wood with tools with both hands, and sandwiched the elastic alloy sheet picked up from the wasteland in the middle.
Then string the bowstring made of mutant hyena tendons, and a simple wooden bow is completed.
”Done.”
Another order was completed, and 2 silver coins were obtained.
Mosquito hung the finished wooden bow on the shelf beside him, waiting for other players to choose.
In fact, strictly speaking, if you want to make a real hunting bow, it is far from enough to rely on these simple processes.
Mosquito has only heard that a good hunting bow even has to pay attention to the humidity of the wood used for the bow handle.
But that being said, for players who don’t have a musket, this thing is already quite good. It’s no problem to shoot a mutant hyena within thirty steps.
Of course, the premise is to hit it.
Anyway, he doesn’t have this ability.
”20 wooden bows, required to be able to shoot through the skull of a mutant hound within 20 meters… I’m afraid I’ll have to wait until the day after tomorrow to complete this order.”
Mosquito muttered and glanced at the bottles and jars he placed on the corner of the table.
It contained saltpeter he extracted from saltpeter soil, the bottle next to it was gypsum powder containing calcium sulfate, and the bucket of black lumps under the shelf was charcoal.
Originally, he planned to make the black gunpowder first today, but the reward given by the manager’s order was too good.
As long as he made 5 wooden bows every day, he could get a guaranteed salary, and he could get a commission of 2 silver for each wooden bow.
”Forget it, let’s make money first…”
It’s not good to always do chemical experiments in the carpenter’s hut.
He planned to save some money, buy a piece of land, buy some cement and bricks, build a small house, and sell the weapons he designed.
This is much more interesting than carpentry!
At this time, the door of the carpenter’s hut was pushed open, and Fang Chang, who had bought a bow from him before, strode in.
”Give me 20 more arrows!”
”You used them up so quickly?” Looking at Fang Chang covered in blood, Mosquito was stunned and said, “You didn’t forget that the thing can be recycled.”
”I know, but are you sure it can still be used?” Fang Chang put the quiver on the table with a depressed look.
There was a pile of broken arrows and arrowheads that fell off the arrow shafts.
Sitting on the stool next to him, he sighed and complained, “The quality of this thing is too touching!”
Mosquito picked up the quiver, took out an arrow and took a look, then touched his chin and said.
”Well… let’s analyze it rationally. I think it’s an advantage to be able to leave the arrow in the body of the prey. But it’s true as you said. If you hunt… the loss is a bit high. I’ll think about how to improve it.”
These arrows are made of sharpened metal sheets and fixed to wooden arrow shafts with rosin. The quality is really not good.
”Please!”
”You’re welcome. This is my job.”
Mosquito counted out 20 arrows from the shelf beside him and handed them to Fang Chang.
The price of 1 arrow is 2 copper coins, and 20 arrows is 4 silver coins. Fang Chang took out 4 silver coins from his pocket without hesitation and placed them on the table generously.
This was what he exchanged for the prey he just shot.
”Thanks, brother.”
”You’re welcome. I wish you a happy hunting,” Mosquito smiled and waved to Fang Chang who was walking out the door. “By the way, do you want to try my new weapon? I promise it’s very useful.”
Hearing this, Fang Chang, who had just walked to the door, almost tripped over the door frame and fell.
”Ahem, I’ll definitely
do it next time!” That was really a life-threatening test!
Thinking of the “Hell Shower” designed by this guy before, Fang Chang, who was holding the door frame to stand firm, didn’t even dare to turn his head, and fled with the quiver in his hand.
Mosquito touched his nose, looking puzzled.
”Is it so exaggerated?”
He originally planned to equip his “Hellfire 0.1” with a bayonet for close combat.
