BXBX NOVEL Chapter 33: First Blood!
Old White looked shocked and wasn\'t able to react for a while.
When he came back to his senses, his first reaction was that people could die in this game?
To be honest, if the players of this game did not seek death, it was very difficult to die once in this game.
Old White was not the only one who couldn\'t understand, but Chu Guang was also puzzled.
Unexpectedly, the third batch of players suffered a non-combat accidental casualty as soon as they went online, which was at least half a month earlier than Chu Guang had expected...
The ID of the dead player was [Ya Ya], who had the "perception type" genetic sequence, and her talent was Toxin Intuition.
Chu Guang remembered sending her out in the morning to collect berries and edible mushrooms. He didn\'t know what happened, so this person must\'ve run to the mutant leeches\' den.
Through the player list, Chu Guang was able to confirm the player\'s approximate location. When he checked her last area of activity, he found out that it was in the mutant leech nest, so he immediately gave up the idea of retrieving the corpse.
The larvae of mutant leeches weren\'t the worst. They had lost their mouthparts and it was difficult for them to suck blood. At most, they would eat some rotten food. They would even occasionally be chewed by cockroaches and mice on the wasteland, or be caught and beaten by hard-working players.
However, adult mutant leeches were different.
They would swallow their prey in one bite. The anesthetic digestive secretion would relax the prey\'s muscles within a minute and make the prey lose consciousness within a few minutes.
Therefore, there was no doubt that Chu Guang would not even be able to find the players\' bones now.
In any case, it was time to log out.
Chu Guang took the players back to the shelter in batches and watched them return to their chambers. Then he returned to the surface by himself, and came next to the active substance extractor.
There was a layer of dust on the cylindrical extraction furnace. Since getting this thing, Chu Guang had never used it because there was no electricity.
What was more frustrating was that even the culture chamber had a wireless charging interface that matched the shelter, but this thing that he got from the mission reward had a plug.
Obviously, the designer of this device did not intend to let him steal electricity from the shelter.
"Little Seven."
"What\'s the matter, master?"
"How should the synthetic substance generated by this thing be injected into the culture chamber?" Chu Guang asked, touching his chin.
"It\'s very simple. The active substance storage tanks of the culture chamber can all be removed. You can just pour the active substance directly in."
Chu Guang nodded thoughtfully, and then suddenly asked,
"In other words... it would be okay to remove the storage tanks from the other culture chamber?"
Little Seven paused.
"Uh, I don\'t know eh, master, do you want to steal..."
"It\'s borrowing."
Chu Guang interrupted Little Seven and said resolutely, "I will have to wait until the end of the month to get the generator. But I can\'t wait until the end of the month to bring the dead players back to life."
"Anyway, there are still 70 chambers left unopened, so it\'s better to use the active substances in them first."
Little Seven whispered.
"But... what if it runs out."
Chu Guang said without hesitation.
"We will find a way when we come to that. But right now, we have to solve the immediate problem first."
There were always more solutions than problems.
Increasing the death penalty or the additional penalty for consecutive deaths would always make these players curtail their curiosity.
In the future, if there were more players, he could build a "novice village" and would not let them go out if they were less than level five; there were still many ways to avoid waste.
Chu Guang still couldn\'t figure out what the player named Ya Ya was thinking. It might be understandable for other players, but she was a perception-type player.
When he got back to the shelter, he intended to chat with her using his identity as the game designer.
However, the crux of the problem now was not how the player died, but that the dead player was a newbie and had no contribution points to be deducted at all.
In other words, she couldn\'t afford the death penalty at all.
This was a bit troublesome.
He couldn\'t just tell her that she could pay back in the future.
What would other players think if they knew that they could do that?
"... It seems that forced labor or punitive tasks must be set up to replace the death penalty if they cannot pay the death penalty. Mhm, the NPC\'s favorability must drop as well, and continuous death would extend the respawning CD."
There were always more solutions than difficulties.
Returning to the shelter with Little Seven, Chu Guang first compiled statistics of today\'s work results on a computer file.
This was a habit he had developed recently.
With more and more players, the daily changes in inventory were not a small number.
As an administrator, he must plan for every material as a whole.
Mobilizing players to chop down trees when there was not enough wood, and mobilizing everyone to go hunting and gathering when there was not enough food; no matter what it is, he must ensure that construction and production could proceed smoothly without stagnating due to the shortage of a certain material.
"Building materials inventory income is 84 logs, 500 kg of carbon, 500 kg of calcium carbonate cement, two piles of yellow mud bricks, and a few hardened cement blocks. In terms of consumption... 220 logs and today\'s cement have been used up, plus an additional 200 kg from the inventory."
"Roughly, that is."
"The income of the food inventory includes 50 kilograms of dried meat, 10 kilograms of smoked fish... along with 2 kilograms of edible fruits and a small amount of raspberry berries. About 10 kilograms of dried meat was consumed, and the dinner tonight was pine nut fish soup, so the smoked fish from the inventory was not used."
"Perhaps I should hire a warehouse clerk."
Moreover, Chu Guang also felt that he should figure out a way to get a more accurate scale and measuring tools.
Chu Guang took some time, and according to the statistical information provided by Little Seven, the contribution points were allocated to each player\'s personal account according to the actual situation.
The newly added player contribution points were mainly obtained by moving bricks. According to the calculation of 10 contribution points per hour, they were basically distributed in the two numbers of 90 and 100.
Only Teng Teng\'s current contribution point was still 0.
However, making clothes was inherently a technical job, especially making clothes with unused materials. It would definitely take some time to master it.
When she was fully accustomed to the tools and materials here, Chu Guang believed that her contribution points would soon accumulate like a snowball rolling down a hill.
After the rewards of the players were allocated, Chu Guang turned on the system and confirmed the rewards for today\'s daily tasks.
[Mission: Cut ten trees, reward: 1 reward point]
[Mission: Kill a mutant, reward: 3 reward points]
[Mission: Collect 1 ton of stone, reward: 1 reward point]
[Mission: Reserve 10 kg of food, 1 bonus point]
A total of 6 bonus points.
In fact, the amount of work completed by the players had far exceeded the needs of the daily mission, but the reward points that could be easily obtained every day were not that many.
Chu Guang counted the bonus points he got a few days ago and added the points he got today. That was 17 points in total.
"Maybe I should try my luck."
After thinking about it, Chu Guang opened the [Administrator Allowance] sub-page and used 10 points on the intermediate blind box, while the remaining 7 points were all used on the primary blind box.
Soon the wall trembled.
As the alloy door opened, the reward from the blind box rolled out along the conveyor belt.
[Nano Healing Syringe: Mainly used for non-fatal wounds, it can strengthen the tissue repair ability in a short time to achieve the effect of accelerating wound healing. ]
"This thing should be from the intermediate blind box."
The specific healing effect was not stated, the side effects were unknown, and the active ingredients were also not marked. It belonged to a product like the previous strengthening syringe, which no one could guarantee its quality.
Chu Guang was not injured now, so he temporarily put the syringe into the drawer of the computer desk, and then looked at other rewards.
Unsurprisingly, five of the seven rewards were lollipops.
Amongst them, an orange-flavored lollipop was like the previous chocolate-flavored lollipop, which had a 10-hour attribute boost buff—except this time, it was not strength, but physique.
As for the other two rewards, they were a piece of chocolate with a net weight of 200g and a box of canned beef with a net weight of 230g.
Emmm...
Chocolate should be edible, but was canned beef really okay?
If Chu Guang remembered correctly, canned food was invented during the Franco-Prussian War in 1800. Maybe this box of old cans was older than the old antiques in the museum in that world...
"Forget it... When the players get online, I\'ll just let them try it."
Chu Guang hesitated for a long time, and eventually decided to wait for the players to go online tomorrow. He would invite the player who had the highest degree of favorability to dinner.
No one should refuse such a good thing.
It was a reward after all.
Chu Guang returned to the computer and sat down. Instead of opening the chat group immediately, he opened the official website forum and looked for the player whose ID was [Ya Ya].
Originally he thought that it would take a lot of effort, but he didn\'t expect that as soon as he opened the forum, he saw this ID on the forum\'s homepage, and the posts had more than 100 replies.
"Uuuuuu, I\'m sorry, I shouldn\'t take the risk! Please give me another chance! I really didn\'t mean it. Please don\'t block my device! QAQ"
‘Block your device?\'
‘It can\'t be.\'
Chu Guang just finished reading the title and didn\'t understand what was going on. He didn\'t figure out what happened until he continued to read the entire post.
‘This player…\'
‘She was really seeking death.\'
