Chapter 84 04: Alpha 0.5 version: Every citizen is a soldier (two in one)

Chu Zhongxing is an outsider when it comes to economics. He has no idea how the economic and financial systems in the real world work. Chu Zhongxing also doesn't speculate in stocks and doesn't know anything about this.

Chu Zhongxing could only find the answer from the games he had played.

Among all the games I have played, the one with the best economic system is "Fantasy Westward Journey". A student from the Department of Finance once wrote a paper on "Fantasy Westward Journey", which to a certain extent reflects how successful the economic system of this game is.

Chu Zhongxing can learn from this and temporarily improve the economic system of the game. When he has players related to economics and finance, or the Ji Ran family among the Hundred Schools of Thought in the future, Chu Zhongxing will ask them to help him regulate the economy of the game.

"The balance between output and consumption is the most basic economic balance.

Currently, Yancheng is short of supplies, but Yancheng contribution points are being distributed all the time, which means that sooner or later, Yancheng's supplies will be consumed by players."

Chu Zhongxing took the pen and gently turned it in his hand. As the force of rotation was applied to the pen, the ink on the tip of the pen began to fly around.

A thin stream of spiritual energy instantly enveloped the pen the moment the ink splashed, trapping the splashing ink. Chu Zhongxing finished spinning the pen and placed the tip of his pen on the rice paper, writing like a god:
"All I need to do now is to let the players plunder the barbarians and expand the supplies of Yancheng."

"The problem now is that players need to save up Yancheng contribution points for a week before they can enter the next dungeon, and there is a high probability that they will not gain anything."

"In this case, the players' enthusiasm will be greatly dampened. What I need to do is to increase the contribution value of Yancheng, or to lower the selling prices of military supplies such as war horses and Mo Dao.

Reduce the cost for players to go to the dungeon, and change the Iltsk Oasis dungeon from a weekly dungeon to a daily dungeon.

But this will lead to a new problem. If the players do not give back to Yancheng, the resources of Yancheng will be consumed faster."

Chu Zhongxing stopped writing and continued to turn the ink pen. After a few circles, he stopped and continued to write:
“Classify the supplies in Yancheng and separate daily supplies from military weapons.

According to the game, it means changing the color of the item name to white, blue, purple, orange, and red. "

"At the same time, new currencies will be introduced, such as the dungeon points in Iltsk Oasis. Players can get points by killing enemies, looting food and grass from the dungeon, and looting war horses, weapons and other supplies from the dungeon."

"Yancheng contribution points can only be exchanged for white or blue supplies, while dungeon points can be exchanged for purple or even orange supplies. This will encourage players to actively go to dungeons."

"Similarly, the grading of Yancheng's contribution value can also slow down the consumption of military supplies."

Chu Zhongxing couldn't help but snap his fingers when he wrote this: "The more enemies you kill, the more food, horses and other supplies you plunder, the more copy points you get, and you can buy precious military supplies in Yancheng.

Players with fewer copy points can only redeem ordinary supplies."

"But this involves the equipment system and the prop system."

"Even including the mount system."

Although it is still a murder, one can kill with bare hands, with a brick, with a ring-handled sword, and even more so with a Mo Dao.

If Chu Zhongxing classified the supplies in Yancheng, then bricks would be weapons of white quality, ring-handled swords would be weapons of blue quality, and Mo Dao would be weapons of purple quality.

The Imperial Shang Dynasty did not classify weapons. In the public's perception, weapons were divided into agricultural weapons (such as hoes and kitchen knives), standard weapons (such as ring-handled swords and Mo Dao), famous weapons (weapons carefully made by craftsmen for the powerful rulers of the country, most of which were famous first, and then the weapons), and national weapons (such as wooden arrows and stone arrowheads).

This kind of cognitive naming is not cool for players. Chu Zhongxing thought about it for a long time and decided to only distinguish them by color without naming them.

For example, the Mo Dao is of purple quality, and players can name the level by themselves. They can think of the Mo Dao as a famous weapon, a legendary weapon, or even a fairy weapon.

How you name it is your business, I am only responsible for the color grading.

“The equipment system, prop system, and even the riding system can all be distinguished by color.”

"Supplies found everywhere, such as bricks, common food, water, clothes, etc., are naturally all white."

"Ordinary horses, food that can strengthen the player's body, such as red carp, ordinary weapons, such as the ring-handled sword, or herbs that can help the player change jobs and open up the Ren and Du meridians. These are ordinary military supplies and are of blue quality."

"And the Mo Dao, armor, and top-quality war horses are all of purple quality."

"With the supplies in Yancheng, it is enough to get purple quality at present. If the barbarians have famous weapons of very good quality, we can give them orange quality at that time."

Chu Zhongxing's ideas became clearer and clearer. He wrote with great enthusiasm and quickly finalized the update content of the Alpha 0.5 version.

On this basis, Chu Zhongxing also re-planned the game's economic system and introduced a new currency - Yancheng Merit Value, while increasing the output of Yancheng Contribution Value.

Chu Zhongxing increased the output of Yancheng contribution value in daily tasks. At the same time, he also added a special task [Prepare for War], which can output a large amount of Yancheng contribution value and a small amount of Yancheng merit value.

Output has increased, but purchasing power has decreased.

Currently, Yancheng Contribution Points can only be used to purchase white materials and some blue materials. At the same time, Yancheng Contribution Points can still be used to purchase land, allowing players to build their own houses.

The qualification to purchase purple materials is based on Yancheng’s merit points.

With the launch of new currency, there naturally need to be new channels for obtaining it. Chu Zhongxing focused on dungeons and formulated a series of dungeon tasks. As long as players complete these dungeon tasks, they can obtain Yancheng merit points.

"The update content of Alpha 0.5 is complete. I hope that Alpha 0.5, the first expansion pack "Nine Generations of Vengeance", can help Yancheng out of its current predicament!"

After doing all this, Chu Zhongxing connected his mind to the Tongtian Divine Tree and posted the updated content of Alpha 0.5 version on the forum.

At the same time, he still popped up a message to all players.

[Dear players, thank you very much for your support of "Bai Jia Zhu Dao". As the plot of the game progresses and Niu Bu players save the angel Su Mu and change the plot of the game, we will launch the Alpha 0.5 version - "Nine Lifetimes of Revenge" in three days (Wednesday).

For detailed information about the Alpha 0.5 version, please visit the forum and watch it. 】

As the 0.5 version update message popped up, players who were doing daily tasks suddenly became excited.

"Stop what you're doing, there's a new version out, there's a new version out!"

"This time the game developer gave not one hour's notice, but three hours' notice. Have they mended their ways?"

"Brothers, you guys are busy. I'll go to the forum to check out the new version first."

Gui Bi, who was sharpening his knife, saw the message pop up. He just lay down on the spot, forced himself to log off, and quickly jumped to the forum.

Soon, a line of eye-catching headlines replaced the new profession Ram Party and the new copy Iltsk Oasis and caught Gui Bi's eyes.

[Alpha 0.5 version - the first expansion pack "Nine Life Vengeance" will be launched in three days! 】

"Wow, a closed beta test has launched an expansion pack, awesome, awesome, what a big deal!"

Gui Bi clicked on the title excitedly, and the content of version 0.5 and the first expansion pack "Nine Generations of Revenge" appeared in front of him.

[The chief planner who has been lurking for many days has surfaced today. I must open my eyes wide to see who among you dares to call me a dog planner!
Oh, no one called me a bad planner, hahaha, that means I am quite respected by players. Since everyone respects me so much, I must bring you a brand new experience, so I forced the artists and programmers to work overtime day and night, and with their hard work, the first expansion pack "Nine Generations of Vengeance" is about to meet you.

Just as the previous trailer said, if the game "Baijia Zhudao" only has military strategists, how can it live up to the name of the game?
Therefore, in the expansion pack "Nine Generations of Vengeance", the new profession, the Ram School, will soon be introduced to everyone. I wonder whether this most powerful profession of Confucianism can be loved by players.

Without further ado, here are the updates for version 0.5.

1. As is the world's practice, this update will fix a large number of known bugs, slightly optimize image quality and lag, and improve the quality of the game for players.

2. The first expansion pack "Nine Generations of Revenge" is launched.

3. Add 50 new game places.

4. Optimize the [Baobaoge] APP to support consignment of new currencies, props and other materials.

5. Launch a special building "Barracks", which will provide beds for each player. Players can log in and out of the barracks in the future, providing some privacy protection for players. 】

The title is very eye-catching, but the updated content is very little. Gui Bi only got three messages from the 0.5 update.

1 is the launch of the first expansion pack, 2 is the introduction of a new currency unit, and 3 is that there is no need to stack players in the resurrection pool and log in and out.

“It seems that the bulk of this update is all in the first expansion pack!”

"Nine Lifetimes of Revenge" in the second update content of version 0.5 is clickable. Gui Bi clicked it quickly and the page began to jump.

"ssssssssssssssssssssssssssss~~"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"The barbarians killed my comrades. If I don't take revenge, I'm not a gentleman. Kill them to avenge my comrades!"

"The hatred of nine generations can still be avenged. Kill all the barbarians and avenge our comrades!"

"If the enemy can go, I can go too. From now on, the offense and defense are reversed!"

The scene of fighting in the northern border suddenly appeared in front of Gui Bi's eyes. The neighing of war horses, the fighting sounds of soldiers, the roar of the commander-in-chief, all kinds of sounds and pictures intertwined together, making Gui Bi's blood boil.

The fighting scene was very short. After countless soldiers rushed towards the enemy's camp without fear of the enemy's rain of arrows, a fire suddenly devoured everything and then turned into four big words - Nine Generations of Revenge.

"Burn, burn!"

"Isn't this better than Bo Renran?"

Gui Bi's mind moved, and the contents of the first expansion pack "Nine Generations of Revenge" were displayed before him one by one.

The first things that pop up are the four schools of Confucianism. Except for the Gongyang School which is lit, the other three are gray and cannot be clicked.

"The four schools of Confucianism? Not just the Gongyang School?"

"So, the remaining three schools of Confucianism may be introduced later."

Gui Bi clicked on Gongyang Sect and learned in detail about its history, introduction, belief concepts, and magical powers.

After Dazhi browsed through it, Gui Bi shook his head slightly and was not interested in the Gongyang School.

Ram pie is not his cup of tea.

"Hey, what does this mean?"

"To switch to Gongyang School, you need to comprehend the cultivation method "Five Constant Virtues" from "Spring and Autumn Annals". If you comprehend "Spring and Autumn Annals" on your own, there is a very small chance that you will switch to the other three schools of Confucianism.

Another note: it is extremely difficult to comprehend "Spring and Autumn" on your own, and the job transfer speed is very slow, so please use your own discretion."

"Oh wow, this game has a really high degree of freedom. After comprehending the Gongyang School's skills, there is a chance that you can transfer to other schools. Awesome!"

"I just don't know if players can create their own schools of thought in this game. I remember that Confucianism also has the School of Reasoning and the School of Mind. I don't know if players can create these two schools of thought."

After watching the new profession, the Ram School, Gui Bi continued to check the content of the "Nine Generations of Revenge" expansion pack.

After reading all the contents of the expansion pack, Gui Bi couldn't help but frown.

The release of new information will have a huge impact on the current game ecology.

First of all, the new expansion pack introduces a new currency unit [Yancheng Merit Value]. This new currency has a huge impact on players. It can be said that the priority of players in the future will not be to do daily tasks, but to complete dungeon tasks.

The dungeon missions in the new expansion pack are divided into six categories: preparation for battle, transportation, harassment, clearing the wild, killing the enemy and siege.

Preparation for war means having players act as logistics units to prepare for battle for the players who are going to fight.

Its contents include but are not limited to: manufacturing weapons, preparing food and fodder, recycling scrapped weapons, etc.

Transportation allows players to drive chariots to transport players from Yancheng to outside the dungeon, thereby increasing the speed at which players can leave the dungeon.

Harassment, literally means that players are asked to constantly harass dungeon enemies to increase the enemy's fatigue level.

Clear the wild area and fortify the walls, allowing players to clear out the wild beasts and a few scattered enemies around the copy.

As for the final slaying of enemies and siege of cities, these are prepared for big players.

As soon as the dungeon mission is launched, Gui Bi can foresee that all players will participate in it and everyone will be clearing the dungeon.

"This dungeon is really a super large dungeon with no limit on the number of people, but I like it!"

Gui Bi laughed twice and then couldn't laugh anymore.

Because the dog planner reduced the purchasing power of Yancheng's contribution value.

"Fuck, this bastard planner, it's ok to reduce the purchasing power of Yancheng's contribution value, but why the hell don't you provide herbs for free?"

"In Geneva, the herbs used for job change actually need to be purchased with Yancheng Merit Points. Isn't this a trap for newbies?"

Gui Bi angrily scolded the dog planner, saying that if you want to update the version, just update the version, why update the economic system?
How to change jobs without herbs?

You launched a new profession, but you don’t even provide free herbs for players to change professions?
