After the announcement, Chu Guang was not idle and continued to pin his pre-edited posts on the official website forum.

This kind of major update concerned the interests of all players. Therefore, of course, he had to use the identity of the game designer to have a good chat with the players.

"Developer's Diary: Alpha 0.3 Version"

"Hello everyone, I am your dearest game designer. Thanks to our hard work and the closed alpha players who check in on time every day, the development progress of Wasteland Online has taken a big step forward!"

"It's not that I am boasting. This update of the alpha 0.3 version will be the most significant update since the start of the game's closed test!"

"There have been complaints from some players before that the settlement process of contribution points is too cumbersome, that they could only be checked after logging out of the game. They cannot feel the joy of counting money in the game, and they are always worried about NPC deducting money... In fact, this worry is completely unnecessary. The No. 404 shelter administrator of the novice guide is an absolutely honest and upright person in setting, and will never secretly deduct a penny from players. I can guarantee this!"

"However, although there is no problem with the honesty of our administrator, there is indeed a problem with the contribution point settlement process. It is indeed too cumbersome. After getting feedback, our game designing department held three consecutive days and nights of meetings and finally came to the conclusion that we should not sacrifice fun for realism."

"Therefore, we've decided to design a new set of currency to replace the original contribution points as the main rewards players get from the mission!"

"This currency is very convenient. The face value is mainly divided into two types: 1 and 10. Their colors are copper yellow and silver white. They can be used to buy food, equipment, and other services and goods that require a fee."

"Yes, after this update, food will no longer be provided for free, but requires players to spend in-game copper or silver coins to buy. At the same time, players will also get money from the mission as a reward... doesn't it sound fun? Aren't you eager to try it?"

"On the other hand, after the Alpha 0.3 update, the shelter will allow its residents to own their own private property! The garbage or equipment picked up by the players from the wasteland will belong to them, and they can be traded with other players or sold to the shelter in exchange for rewards."

"For this, we have specially introduced an additional warehouse system, located in the buffer room at the entrance and exit of the shelter!"

"There is a row of lockers where you can set a password. You should have noticed before. Now they are open to use. Both money and weapons can be stored there, except for dangerous goods that are prohibited from being brought into the shelter!"

"What? Are you asking me if it's free? Of course it's not! 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 don't have to be discouraged! Although contribution points are no longer used as currency, NPCs have seen all your contributions to the shelter and the entire civilization."

"After research by our game development department, we decided to incorporate the contribution points into the new 'honor' system!"

"This system and the economic system are independent of each other, mainly related to the 'privileges' that players enjoy in the shelter... Simply put, it can be used to exchange identities and titles!"

"The initial status of all players is a shelter resident by default. You can upgrade from a resident to a citizen by spending 2,000 contribution points."

"On shelter No. 404, residents only enjoy basic human rights, while only citizens can own private land."

"Currently, only 'citizen' status exchanges are open. The first-level citizenship only supports the purchase of 5 square meters of private land, and this number will continue to expand with the promotion of status."

"More identities and titles will be released in subsequent updates based on the progress of the test."

"At the same time, the mercenary, caravan, guild, legion and other systems that are being designed also have certain requirements for identity and contribution points."

"After the Alpha version 0.3, the rewards for daily tasks are mainly based on money. Only actions that contribute to the overall interests of the outpost can be rewarded with contribution points. This includes but is not limited to working as civil servants, solving emergencies, and making great creations and inventions etc."

"Please keep these in mind!"

After the post was posted, it did not immediately cause a lot of noise.

But this was also expected by Chu Guang.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon in the wasteland world, and it was early in the morning in the real world. It was too late for the netizens who did not qualify for the test, and too early for the players in the game.

When they went offline, they would see it naturally.

Stretching, Chu Guang was about to turn off the computer, and suddenly found that there were several replies to the post.

[Ya Ya: What's the situation? It's updated! ? I missed the entire 0.2 version?! QAQ]

Seeing this post, Chu Guang was shocked.

This player really wouldn't sleep unless she could get back into the game.

However, he couldn't help her.

If possible, Chu Guang also hoped that the players' resurrection CD could be shorter, but unfortunately, it would always take a while to develop from an embryo to a mature individual.

Just wait a little bit longer, you will be able to log into the game tomorrow.

Ignoring the hapless little player, Chu Guang turned off the computer, got up and went outside the shelter.

Since the last time he bought a batch of tools from Brown Farm, the efficiency of the players' work has indeed improved a lot compared to before.

It has only been two days since the third group of players entered the game. The concrete wall around the nursing home has been almost repaired.

Not only that, Chu Guang also found that under the leadership of "Hold_the_sword_execution", some players were digging a foundation in the open space in front of the nursing home, laying down yellow mud bricks and smearing cement on it.

It looked like they were building a house.

Chu Guang stepped forward and asked a player who was moving bricks.

"What are you doing?"

The player explained with a smile.

"I heard that the new NPC is a weapon merchant, so we are building her a weapon store!"

What?

Upon hearing this, Chu Guang was shocked.

How kind can those players be?

Although he did disclose information about the new NPC to Ample Time, he never told him to build a shop for her.

Those players were seriously hard working.

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, it should be a bathhouse!"

"We tried to take a bath in the lake, but we found out later that it's not safe at all. Old White's little brother almost got bitten off by a catfish yesterday, so we discussed it and decided to build a public bathhouse."

Puff.

No, you can't laugh.

Chu Guang held his urge to laugh back, and nodded with a stiff expression.

"Ahem, you guys can carry on."

"Paying attention to hygiene is a good thing..."

The player said with a smile.

"Okay! Then I'll carry on moving bricks."

"Mhm."

Ample Time soon arrived in the evening.

Brother Scrambled Egg set up an iron pot on the open space, first throwing in a piece of hyena's fat refining oil before throwing in the cut venison and vegetable leaves from unknown sources into the pot, then stir-frying and sprinkling some salt for seasoning.

Tonight's recipe was fried venison with green vegetable leaves and lightly boiled green wheat porridge.

Thanks to the reindeer hunted by the administrator, the quality of players' food could finally be improved.

"Where did you get that iron pot?" Chu Guang was curious when seeing Brother Scrambled Egg's hand holding the unfamiliar kitchenware, so he looked at Old White who was closest to him and asked.

"You mean that? It was made by me and Ample Time." Facing the administrator's inquiry, Old White said with a smile.

"You did it?" Chu Guang glanced at him in surprise, and then asked, "Your blast furnace… is working now?"

"It already is! Although the quality of the refined steel is only average, there is no problem in making some tools."

Old White smiled proudly, then said,

"I wanted to report to you earlier, but I couldn't find where you were, hehe."

Unexpectedly, even the primitive steelmaking technology was mastered by these players.

Although the quality of steel produced by this method may not be satisfactory, doesn't any technology mature step by step?

With iron.

Not to mention the combat effectiveness, at least productivity could rise to a higher level!

Chu Guang sighed with emotion, his face was full of admiration.

"You have done a good job, and I will report your credit to the organization."

"You and There_will_be_ample_time will be rewarded with 1000 Contribution Points... as a commendation for solving the steel needs of the outpost."

Old White was overjoyed and said quickly.

"It is my honor to share your worries with you!"

Chu Guang shook his head.

"You deserve those points."

These players were all very talented, and they were all very obedient. As an administrator, Chu Guang almost felt bad for using them.

When Chu Guang was on Bett Street before, he heard from the old Charlie of the grocery store that the fate of most shelter administrators did not end well.

The residents of those shelters were far more difficult to serve than the survivors on the wasteland. Even if they were full and warm, they would still complain about the bad situation and make some unrealistic demands.

Few marauders could break the almost indestructible wall and iron wall of the shelter head-on. Those weak weapons almost couldn't leave a little scratch on the gate of the shelter. Most shelters that were abandoned by unnatural factors were due to internal contradictions and differences.

When he heard these words from old Charlie's mouth, Chu Guang always felt that his tone held a little melancholy.

Like he was narrating from experience.

When he just took over the management authority of No. 404 shelter, Chu Guang was actually a little nervous, worried that he could not do the job well, so he kept leaving himself a way out on Bett Street and bought Xiaoyu to help him look after the house.

But now, he didn't think so anymore.

Similar things may happen to any other shelter, but it would never happen to himself.

He went to the cooking stove.

Chu Guang held a bowl and looked at Brother Scrambled Egg who had just finished frying a pot of dishes and said.

"Can I have a bowl too?"

Brother Scrambled Egg looked surprised.

In his impression, this NPC seemed to have never eaten with them. So much so that he once suspected that this NPC did not need to eat in the setting.

Is this artificial intelligence upgraded?

"Let me help you!"

Teng Teng, who was waiting by the stove, took the bowl diligently, filled the large bowl with green wheat porridge, and handed it to the administrator's hand.

"Be careful, it's hot."

"Mhm."

Chu Guang nodded and thanked her before asking Brother Scrambled Egg to give himself a spoonful of fried venison, pouring it directly on the thick green wheat porridge. He then turned and walked towards the shelter elevator..................................................................
