Chu Guang tightened the seal of the plastic bag and continued.
You should be glad that you did not continue to walk inside, and this mushroom usually grows near the den of the mutant leech.
Ye Shi was stunned.
Mutant leech?
Chu Guang said casually.
Well, the mutated leeches in childhood are only as big as a palm. Apart from the special mouthparts, they look no different from normal leeches.
However, once you enter adulthood, its size will increase rapidly to more than 1 meter, and the longest can even reach 3 meters, and its eating method will also change. I heard that it can even swallow a living person in one bite... Of course, I just heard of it.
After listening to the manager's narration, Ye Shi felt chills all over his body.
He said why something was wrong when picking mushrooms, but he couldn't say what was wrong.From this perspective, I turned out to have a walk in front of the gates of hell.
Can't eat it?The expression on Qianfeng's face was quite regretful. Looking at the mushrooms that were put away by Chu Guang, he muttered, and I thought I could add a BUFF.
Don't think too much.
How many BUFFs are there?
There is a saying that Chu Guang didn't say.
Although this thing is not eaten, it is the main raw material for making radiation-removing agents.
Chu Guang didn't know the specific principle either, he also heard about it from Old Charlie on Bate Street.
Blue Mushroom contains a special peptide substance that can effectively alleviate and cure non-fatal damage caused by gamma rays.
The caravans in Giant Rock City will buy this thing, and the price offered is not low. They are usually shipped to Giant Rock City and sold to factories there.
But this thing is really difficult to work with. Few scavengers are willing to risk their lives to search for the nests of mutated leeches at the storm or subway or sewers.
It's one thing to find it hard.
It's another matter to find it and bring it back after a life.
Even if life is forced, no one is willing to deal with these tentacles who eat people and don’t spit bones…
Unexpectedly, there was a nest of mutated leeches just a short distance away.
Chu Guang was in a mixed mood.
What I am happy about is that this blue umbrella mushroom can be sold for a lot of money, but what I am worried about is that the mutated leech is difficult to deal with.
Sprinkle salt?
Where can I get hundreds of kilograms of salt? It’s better to sell salt directly if I have so much salt.
set fire?
This thing usually lives in humid areas, and it is not that easy to light.
Do you still remember the specific location of the sewer entrance?
Faced with the manager's inquiry, Qianfeng quickly took out the map and pointed to the location where the mark was marked.
It's here.
Chu Guang took a look at the location on the map and silently recorded it.
I see.
……
The blue umbrella mushrooms brought back by Qianfeng and Yeshi are estimated to be 2 kilograms, and the general market can get a little chip every 50g.
2000g is 40 chips!
This is almost equivalent to all the savings that Chu Guang has saved in the past five months.
And this is the price offered by the recycling bin on Bet Street.
The actual value of this thing is at least twice that of this number!
Chu Guang planned to sell all these mushrooms and use the chips he received to buy the supplies urgently needed at the outpost.
The outpost supplies need to be replenished. I'll go out and stay here, remember not to go far.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Qi will open the elevator for you on time and return to the shelter.
When I am not here, Xiaoqi will count your work results, and you can also ask them if you don’t understand.
As for the 2 kilograms of blue umbrella mushrooms, Chu Guang calculated a total of 220 contribution points for Qianfeng and Yeshi.
Among them, 200 contribution points were found because the den of mutant leech was discovered, and the other 20 contribution points were blue umbrella mushrooms.
It’s not that he is stingy just for this, but that he is afraid that he will give too much, which makes these players taste the sweetness and risk going to pick this thing, but accidentally dies inside.
Before finding a generator that can power the active substance extractor, he thought it would be better to be cautious.
Green wheat porridge for lunch.
When it was called porridge, Chu Guang felt it was a bit like a sweet mung bean soup.
This thing has no taste, it is just to fill your stomach.
However, what surprised Chu Guang was that the four players were eating voraciously, just like starving ghosts reincarnated.
Is it so delicious?
Chu Guang became suspicious of his cooking skills.
Am I actually very good at cooking?
It shouldn't be...
A meal was settled in a hurry.
Putting away the pots and pans, Chu Guang extinguished the fire and set off alone on the road. There were only four players left in the sanatorium and an AI robot hanging upstairs.
Fang Chang stared at the task board inserted at the door of the sanatorium and fell into deep thought.
Ye Shi asked from the side.
What are you looking at?
Fang Chang said.
According to the manager, blue umbrella mushrooms can be used as raw materials for making radiation anti-radiation agents, but the reward given to you by the task is only 20 points, which is equivalent to cutting two trees... Do you think this is reasonable?
Ye Shi was stunned.
Is there any problem?
Fang Chang said.
Of course, there is. Normally, the benefits players get from tasks should be positively correlated with the difficulty of tasks.Not only have you unlocked the new copy, but you have also collected high-value materials. In common sense, there is no such reward.
The wind thought.
Then why do you think it is.
Fang Chang snapped his fingers.
Priority!
Excellent, priority?Ye Shi said in a daze.
That's right.Fang Chang nodded, Do you still remember what the manager said in the previous plot? The first priority at present is survival!
Is there any?
It seems to be there.
Ye Shi didn't listen to it too carefully. He didn't watch the plot in most games and just went through Ctrl.Although this game cannot be Ctrl, it doesn't make any difference if you get distracted for a few minutes.
Fang Chang continued.
...So I guess that the tasks on the task board are not all tasks. This game gives us a lot of autonomy. Tasks can not only be released by NPCs, but also actively triggered.
Qianfeng frowned.
reason?
Haven’t you received the reward?Fang Chang said that although no generator was found, a different nest was found and valuable materials were collected.
So I judge that as long as our behavior meets the current needs of Shelter 404, we can get a contribution point.And the value of the reward is positively related to the value created by our behavior!
For example, building cesspools and toilets is the task issued by the manager after adopting our opinions. Lao Bai and I both received a reward of 200 contribution points.
Lao Bai nodded.
It seems like this.
I probably understand what you mean, Qianfeng said, touching his chin, but can you get a contribution point if you complete the tasks on the task board?
And the points are not low.
This is the second point I want to say. A mysterious smile appeared on Fang Chang's face. Do you still remember the favorability setting that the planning and we mentioned?
A trace of sudden realization floated on the wind's face.
So that's it...I understand what you mean.
Ye Shi and Lao Bai were still confused.
What do you understand?
Make the words clear!
Fang Chang said slowly.
Simply put, if we complete the fixed tasks on the task board step by step, we can get a fixed guaranteed reward, but we cannot show our abilities.In contrast, actively triggering tasks can better reflect our own abilities!In theory, it should be able to improve managers' evaluation of us.
Of course, these speculations are based on Wasteland OL, which is a completely real immersive virtual reality game, and manager behavior is dominated by program logic and is not set in person.
If his intelligence level is not as high as expected, this inference is likely to be invalid.
However, at present, the manager is quite intelligent, and there is no problem with normal communication. He can't even help but wonder whether this guy will be played by a real person.
After understanding Fang Chang's explanation, Lao Bai touched the stubble on his chin and nodded.
This idea is interesting and worth trying... So what do you think we should do?
I am still exploring how to do it, but my intuition tells me that compared to the contribution point, it is more critical to accumulate more NPC favorability before the second round of the closure test, which can ensure that we have a higher starting point than other players in the second round of the closure test.
After a pause, Fang Chang snapped his fingers.
I suggest teaming up!
The meaning of forming a team is... Ye Shi said in confusion.
Lao Bai nodded.
I have no objection.
Qianfeng nodded too.
I agree too.
Ye Shi said in a daze.
I have no objection, but can I explain the details of team formation to me?
Fang Chang explained patiently.
Simply put, from now on, we are a team, everyone will share information and help each other.Then, what we have to do is to give full play to our strengths.
Fang Chang looked at Qianfeng and Ye Shi and continued.
It's strong wind, night ten, you can detect along the lake shore of the wetland park, pay attention to the distribution of alien species and activity trajectory, and if you find that the area suspected to be a nest is marked... But remember, don't get too close, especially to avoid fighting.We need a safe water withdrawal point.
The wind nodded.
OK
Then, Fang Chang looked at Lao Bai.
As for us, what we need to do now is to cut more wood.
I will go offline after a while, so I will check some information online and find a way to make use of the wood I stocked up tomorrow!
You should be glad that you did not continue to walk inside, and this mushroom usually grows near the den of the mutant leech.
Ye Shi was stunned.
Mutant leech?
Chu Guang said casually.
Well, the mutated leeches in childhood are only as big as a palm. Apart from the special mouthparts, they look no different from normal leeches.
However, once you enter adulthood, its size will increase rapidly to more than 1 meter, and the longest can even reach 3 meters, and its eating method will also change. I heard that it can even swallow a living person in one bite... Of course, I just heard of it.
