Chapter 84: The Life of a Professional Player with a Big Brain
Chapter 84: Professional Players with a Big Brain
Within two minutes of the decree being issued, Chu Guang hadn’t even walked away from the notice board when he was surrounded by excited little players.
”Manager, how should I write the application?”
”Boss Shuguang, are there any restrictions on the type of business? Can any industry be used?”
”I want to build a greenhouse to grow vegetables!”
”I want to suggest making a generator!”
”I want to open a toilet!”
”I want to sell shit!”
”Fuck! You’re poisonous!”
”…”
There are always little players who say what Chu Guang wants to say, saving him from complaining.
In order to maintain order, Chu Guang raised his hand and motioned the players to be quiet, then cleared his throat and continued to speak seriously.
”If you want to apply for industrial land, please submit a written application. Oral applications will not be accepted!”
”The paper needed for the written application can be purchased at the warehouse of the outpost for one copper coin. If you have any questions, please contact my assistant. He will tell you the details of writing the application and the details of the use of industrial land in half an hour.”
”Go away, do what you need to do now!”
The paper needed to write the application can be purchased at the warehouse of the outpost. The source is mainly from scavenging in places such as apartments and office building ruins.
Although it sounds incredible, the paper in this world is indeed preserved longer than imagined.
Especially for some paper certificates, a small amount of banknotes, paintings or books with collection value, as long as they are not exposed to the wind, sun, rain, or damp and moldy outdoors, it is not a problem to survive the weathering of time, not to mention how complete they can be preserved.
Maybe some kind of antioxidant material is added, or it is simply not made of wood in the traditional sense?
Chu Guang couldn’t explain the reason, just like he couldn’t explain the technical principle of controlled nuclear fusion.
Technology that is 20 years ahead is high technology, and technology that is a century ahead is no different from pure magic. It can degrade when people need it to degrade, and preserve when people need it to preserve.
In short, the shelter can occasionally recycle some waste paper that can be used. Although it is not luxurious enough to use it to wipe one’s butt, a small amount of office loss is still acceptable.
However, after seeing the applications submitted in large numbers, Chu Guang inevitably had a little doubt about his own pricing.
One copper coin for one piece of paper.
It is really too cheap… In
front of the sanatorium, a crowd of people surrounded it.
Although there are only a little over 40 professional players in life, it is still a bit too much to gather together.
”Dear Administrator, I think our outpost is still lacking a bit of fireworks. What is fireworks? Of course, it’s barbecue! So I want to apply for a 20-square-meter industrial land and open an old street barbecue-”
”For catering, please go to the North Gate Market, next.”
”Papermaking! Administrator, I want to open a toilet paper factory! The area doesn’t need to be too large, about 1,000 square meters is enough! It’s too uncomfortable to use Tess, I accidentally caught a ball last time-”
”Next.”
”Boss! Look at me, I want to open a tavern! An area of about 200 square meters is enough. Games with different world themes always feel like something is missing without a tavern!”
Emmm…
It’s considered normal.
Chu Guang took his application, but only glanced at it and sent it back.
”It is recommended to change the business project to brewing, and the area is recommended to be adjusted to less than 100 square meters, and then reapply.”
”But, but I want to open a tavern like the Cat’s Tail Tavern…”
”Next.”
There are always people who don’t understand the concept of industry, nor the difference between industry and commerce.
Although it was his fault that he didn’t explain it clearly, Chu Guang always felt that this was unnecessary. Is it
really difficult to understand what the administrator needs?
It’s not difficult at all!
Anyway, he would let Xiao Qi directly kill some weird industries and business projects that don’t meet the needs of the wasteland people or violate public order and good customs.
What about opening a toilet to bury shit, setting up a barbecue stall, opening a restaurant, pub, KTV, etc. It’s not that it must be forbidden, but it depends on the occasion and whether everyone needs it.
For example, the outpost is short of bricks now, so it’s no problem to open a brick factory.
Open a pub…
Do you have the extra grain to make wine?
I’m really greedy, so I’d better take off my helmet and drink it!
However, if someone wants to open a brewery to synthesize ethanol, Chu Guang still supports it with both hands. As one of the most widely used industrial raw materials, there are many places where this thing can be used.
The warehouse has orders for ethanol with a concentration of 70 or 95 degrees or above, which are used for industrial and medical purposes. The current inventory demand is 20L and 10L respectively. The order price is not bad. Even if only one or two bottles of wine are
produced from one pound of grain, a little money can be made. At present, some big players have made wine yeast with Polygonum and other weeds, and are imitating the method of making vodka with potatoes, trying to make wine with sheep’s horn potatoes.
Some people have tried green wheat before, but it didn’t work. It contains a small amount of oxalic acid that is difficult to remove, which seems to have an effect on yeast.
If someone wants to apply for industrial land to study brewing technology, Chu Guang will certainly consider carefully approving two plots of land to see what the results are.
As for the tavern.
Forget it!
Just when the little player who was planning to open a tavern was leaving dejectedly with the application form, Teng Teng, with his arms raised high, finally squeezed out of the front row of players who were watching the excitement and got out of the crowd.
”Me, me, me!”
She held the application form in her hand, her face flushed, and she said nervously without time to breathe.
”Can I open a tailor’s hut? 48 square meters is enough, if not, 40 square meters will also do.”
”Give me the application.”
Chu Guang took the written application from Teng Teng’s hand, glanced at it, and left it.
”Approved!”
”For industrial land applications approved before noon, the approved land will be allocated in the evening. Please prepare the materials and tools needed for construction by then.”
Construction should not be mentioned.
At present, the building materials of the outpost are still a little expensive, and it is probably not easy to build a house.
When the little player gets the land, I think he will build a small stall with wood first, which is not fundamentally different from the previous working environment.
But that being said, Teng Teng was very happy to be upgraded from a worker to a self-employed person. She jumped up with her fists waving excitedly.
”Oh, oh, oh, nice!”
Looking at Teng Teng who was not as tall as himself when she jumped up, Chu Guang smiled in his heart, but his face was still meticulous and calm.
Are you happy?
Haha, it’s too early to be happy now!
After opening a tailor shop, the clothes and protective gear made can indeed be sold by yourself. Whether you sell them to the warehouse or to players, the money earned is indeed all yours.
But in contrast, the high-quality furs in the warehouse are not free.
The current price of a complete deerskin in the warehouse is 6 to 8 silver coins. It will increase a little after winter, but not too much. There is no problem making 2 to 3 pieces of clothes.
After completing the order of the NPC warehouse, the profit of a piece of clothing is about 2 to 3 silver coins. Chu Guang will actively adjust this number so that the income obtained by players from the NPC will not overflow too much, thus affecting the balance of the game.
As for selling to players, it doesn’t matter.
Market competition will naturally balance out a reasonable price. Beautiful clothes will never be hard to sell, so it is reasonable to have a higher profit. However, the players’ spending power and the total market volume are there, and how much they can sell depends on their ability.
In short, be responsible for your own profits and losses!
No matter how you think about it, you will make more money by saving a salary.
In addition to Teng Teng’s tailor shop, Brother Chaodan’s butcher shop was also approved.
After thinking about it, the butchering industry belongs to food processing, and food processing is probably considered light industry? There is nothing wrong with putting it in the industrial zone.
In short, the wise and powerful manager hesitated for a while, and finally nodded his noble head under the expectant gaze of Brother Chaodan.
In any case, the butcher stall is at least more reliable than the barbecue stall. However,
after the winter, there are no prey anymore, and the hottest period of the butchering industry has passed. Is it really more profitable to choose to work alone at this time than to hang up the profession of a butcher and get the minimum living allowance?
I don’t understand.
Anyway, it’s a good thing not to have to pay for it yourself, and Chu Guang is too lazy to worry about these small players.
It took Chu Guang less than half an hour to review all the applications. He rejected the unqualified ones without mercy and only kept the reliable ones.
These included a 6X8m tailor shop, a 6X8m butcher shop, and a 20X10m steelmaking workshop, a total of 296 square meters.
What surprised Chu Guang was Brother Mosquito.
He thought this guy would open a woodworking workshop, but he didn’t expect that he filled in [Goblin Technology] in the project column of the application, and [Chemical Industry] in the business scope.
”The application is unqualified. You can’t just fill in Chemical Industry. You have to specify the specific production project, such as what kind of chemical products you want to produce and its use. You have to write it down on it.”
Mosquito scratched his head and said something.
”Then can I change it to weapons? Produce its raw materials together!”
Chu Guang thought about it and couldn’t find any fault.
”Yes, but you have to provide at least one product, make sure it can be used normally, and… someone is willing to use it. Then you can use it as your main production project. If there are any new items later, just register them with my assistant. I need to make sure that every piece of industrial land I grant is valid. Do you understand what I mean?”
Mosquito nodded repeatedly.
”I understand! Hehe, I’ll rewrite it now!”
I hope this guy really understands.
Chu Guang doesn’t object to him doing some brain-opening experiments, but he still hopes that he won’t be too exaggerated and affect other players.
There are orders for gunpowder and smokeless gunpowder on the order wall of the warehouse, and there are also some orders for homemade grenades and Molotov cocktails in the weapon store.
These don’t require too much imagination, and they are all easy to make money.
As for carpentry.
It’s not particularly lacking.
At least five of the new players who joined are good at carpentry, so it’s not a big problem to replace the vacant position he left.
”His workshop should be arranged a little further away from the resurrection point.”
”Don’t blow me up.”
Chu Guang thought to himself as he stood at the door of the sanatorium, and silently took note.
At this time, it suddenly started snowing.
After a while, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the temperature also dropped a lot.
Although the blue jackets in the shelter will change the material properties in cold weather and reduce thermal conductivity to keep warm, they are still no substitute for coats and cotton-padded jackets.
Feeling a little cold on his neck, Chu Guang turned around and planned to go back to the shelter to put on his deerskin jacket.
However, at this moment, there was a commotion from the west gate of the outpost.
A fisherman, carrying a plastic bucket and a homemade fishing rod, ran in the heavier snow, shouting in fear, and even lost one of his shoes.
”Crabs!!”
”Crabs are eating people!”
