CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 28 I SUSPECT YOU HAVE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

The convoy’s luck on today’s dungeon run was noticeably worse than yesterday’s. Not only did they encounter no wild monsters, they didn’t even find a single gun; all their time was spent gathering materials.

However, since there were no wild monsters to delay them, even with fewer people and a tagalong, the six players managed to complete the dungeon three times in eight hours, with two hours left for taking turns keeping watch.

Because some people had to stay behind to guard, the four new players each had 150 GP points on average. They had enough for the surgery, but GP points alone won’t suffice.

They could only sigh and use the gathered materials to repair the fence. Before Lin Miao left, he kindly added a task for them.

[Side Quest: Employee Hostel]

[Quest Objective: The great and merciful office administrator has allocated a small area for you in the limited space as a resting place. They’ve even prepared the design drawings for you. What are you waiting for? Get to work!]

[Quest Reward: Upon completing a small hostel, receive 200 Euro Gold/50 GP points (0/5)]

[Quest Hint: After the next update, the modification pods will no longer provide sleep services. Additionally, without a suitable place to sleep, players might log in the next day with DBUFFs such as ’Fatigue,’ ’Sore back and legs,’ and ’Cold’]

That’s right, it’s a hostel, not a dormitory.

Once the hostel is repaired, players can rent a bed in a four-person dormitory at a daily rate of 50 Euro!

Why do they have to pay to stay in a house they built with their own materials?

This is what reflects the true realism of the game, my friend.

When the means of production aren’t in your hands, you can only become the chives planted in the veggie garden, harvested repeatedly with various excuses, without even the right to choose.

If anyone could find Lin Miao’s game development log and read it all, they’d notice that every page is scrawled with the words "player experience, careful planning." He couldn’t sleep horizontally or vertically, and upon closer inspection, he’d see every page contains three words—harvest chives.

Sleeping costs money

Eating costs money

Prosthetics cost money

Equipping weapons costs money

Equipment maintenance also costs money

Electricity, water, property fees.....

Healthcare, car insurance, prosthetics insurance.....

No money, no problem, I can still offer loan services. Once granted, lifelong service, with an annual interest rate of only twenty-five percent~~

Presumably, this should inject a strong dose of excitement into the players, making their gaming enthusiasm burn intensely!

Mwahahahaha!!!

Yet when players see this quest, they feel no discomfort, rather thinking it’s all perfectly natural.

They even eagerly express their thoughts on the forums after logging off.

[Brother Ni: A four-person hostel, fixing five of them will increase our gaming slots by at least ten after excluding our nine!]

[Skull Tribute Confucius: Ten? If those outsiders see, they’ll think we’re cheap! Just this amount, who can play? Bring on ten thousand slots! One for each person!]

[Potato Without a Neck: Ten isn’t a small amount; the previous two times were in single digits. You can’t release too many slots during the game’s alpha stage.]

[Brother Dao: Suggest your company to buy several pounds of potatoes to serve as servers.]

[Emperor White Earth: Cur! You’re showing off!!! You must have undisclosed PY deals with the planners!

[Potato Without a Neck: You’re slandering. I warn you, the planner might just be browsing the forums, careful or they might target you with their pettiness.]

[Giant of West Lake Fisheries: I can vouch that A Shui has the smallest mind, you’re in deep trouble.]

[Waterful: What? That’s how I appear in your hearts?]

[Potato + Giant: !!!??? Oh no! That damn planner is screen-watching!]

[Emperor White Earth/Skull Tribute Confucius: Offend the planner and expect an easy escape? No way!]

[Mantou: Let’s all go up, take down those who disrespect the great and holy planner, and split their six beta test accounts!]

[Champion of Ming Lifting: Excuse me, which six are they referring to? Is it ear-hearing anger, ear-hearing anger, ear-hearing anger, and ear-hearing anger?]

Seeing players act like extreme simps towards him, Lin Miao almost burst into laughter.

[Waterful: Thanks everyone for your enthusiastic support, but as certain players have noted, a new test version is coming soon, expected to launch this Sunday, along with releasing ten more beta slots.]

[Future Horizon - Cyberpunk 0.3 Version—Ghosts at Midnight]

[As players explore the Evil Land under the guidance of the office administrator, the world shows its cruel and chaotic side to us (photos) (photos). A force known as Night Wanderer has emerged; composed of vicious thugs (photos) (photos), involved in kidnapping, smuggling, killing, and robbery. Each Night Wanderer carries at least six criminal charges, and as players’ activity range expands, they inevitably have to deal with these murderers]

[Will they fight or surrender?]

[Enemies are strong and ruthless, but we also have reinforcements!

[Introducing the neutral faction—Adcardo, a powerful offshoot of the Wanderer tribe (photos) (photos), simple and resilient like cacti thriving in the desert. Each person here is a member of this family, they will protect their relatives to the death, and they are also Night Wanderer’s rival faction.]
