78: Chapter 78 System Construction
Chapter 78 System Construction
In Outpost Camp, many residents and Guard Team members gathered in front of a huge wooden house.
The wooden house was built with tall timbers, and the boards exuded a slightly damp yellowish hue, obviously having been built not long ago and not yet fully dry.
The entire wooden house was much larger than other houses, about four to five meters high and seven to eight meters wide, twice the size of a normal house.
This was the temporary warehouse of Outpost Camp, as well as their supply room. A large amount of supplies was stored inside at this time, from food and daily necessities such as energy blocks, milk, canned goods, and razors, to special items like firearms and transcendental materials, all stored within without exception.
The warehouse was very close to the city wall, and the vines of the Wall of Thousand Vines could extend out to cover the warehouse. Except for Ren Chuan and his people, anyone else wanting to approach this warehouse would immediately provoke an attack from the vines of the Wall of Thousand Vines.
Ren Chuan and his subordinates were posting announcements on the bulletin board in front of the warehouse door, and their actions immediately attracted the attention of the outpost members, who gathered around to take a look.
"Captain Ren, what is being posted here?"
Someone in the crowd glanced and saw many things listed on the notice, with a number behind each item, unable to help feeling curious.
With the continuous development of the camp, more and more people called Wang Ting the leader.
Therefore, the several minor bosses under him, such as Feng Bo, Dong Hu, and Ren Chuan, were gradually tacitly acknowledged as captains, usually addressed as captains by others.
Hearing someone ask this, Ren Chuan turned sideways to make half a space, pointed his finger at the notice board, and said loudly: "Starting today, our camp will exchange things according to this standard."
His gaze swept across the Guard Team members who had participated in the battle against the Three Wolves Gang, and he continued: "Participating in work, participating in combat, defending the camp — as long as you make a contribution to the camp, you will earn contribution points. One contribution point can exchange for one energy block, and the more contribution points you have, the more things you can exchange for. The brothers who participated in the battle against the Three Wolves Gang this time will each receive 200 contribution points."
The Guard Team members' eyes lit up, and unable to suppress the joy in their hearts, they asked: "Captain, what can these 200 contribution points exchange for? Is it the same as over at the Shelter?"
Over at Scarecrow Town, 200 contribution points were equivalent to just a rifle, not much nor little, but it could indeed exchange for some useful things.
Ren Chuan revealed a subtle smile: "See for yourselves."
Everyone looked closely. Starting from the bottom items, 1 contribution point was equivalent to 1 energy block. Moving up in order, it took 2 contribution points to equal a box of milk or an apple.
As the contribution points gradually increased, the exchangeable items began to increase, starting with canned goods, towels, toothbrushes, and other items.
Everyone could also recognize that these things were the supplies refreshed in Vine Town, which were much richer than those in Scarecrow Town.
"300 contribution points are equivalent to a piece of transcendental material?!"
Among the Guard Team members, someone couldn't help exclaiming in surprise. They didn't expect the exchange ratio of contribution points to be so high.
200 contribution points were equivalent to two-thirds of a transcendental material.
The anchors of the price system in the wasteland were food and transcendental materials, with firearms counting as half.
Exchanging 1 contribution point for 1 energy block, the Guard Team members actually all knew, was to allow the bottom-tier people in the outpost to survive.
The lowest exchange limit was to ensure stability, but because of this, there was no way to intuitively measure the value of contribution points.
But here, contribution points could actually directly exchange for transcendental materials, which instantly allowed them to compare the real exchange value of contribution points.
To put it bluntly, if exchanged for transcendental materials, they could even trade with people outside.
For a moment, thinking of the 200 contribution points they possessed, everyone's hearts suddenly grew hot.
Ren Chuan smiled and said: "The leader originally planned to give you transcendental materials directly, but this time the leader has other uses for them, so I suggested that the leader give you contribution points first. But this is also a good thing, take a look further up."
Getting Ren Chuan's prompt, everyone immediately looked toward the upper end of the exchange list. At this look, their breathing became rapid.
"It's an enhancement potion! Contribution points can exchange for an enhancement potion! Captain Ren, you really aren't tricking us?"
"It's not just the enhancement potion, look at the very top, that's a transcendental potion!"
An even louder exclamation rang out, and everyone's gazes immediately locked onto the contribution point exchange item at the very top.
Contribution points required for a Tier 1 transcendental potion: 40,000 contribution points.
Even though the number of contribution points required was extremely huge, equivalent to even 150 transcendental materials, it still made all the Guard Team members' hearts burn with passion.
Because at least it could be exchanged.
Moreover, even if they couldn't exchange for a transcendental potion, they were not without other choices. The enhancement potion only required ten thousand contribution points, and there was also something called blood vine fruit, whose effect was comparable to it.
These things were all items that could make them stronger.
Burning gazes fell upon Ren Chuan, and they all wanted to get a more exact answer from Ren Chuan's mouth.
Seeing that his purpose had been achieved, Ren Chuan immediately announced loudly: "This is the leader's decision. As long as your contribution points reach this value and you want to exchange, the leader will find a way to get them for you. Whether it is an enhancement potion or a transcendental potion, since the leader promised, he will fulfill it."
"The leader said that as Outpost Camp is built bigger and bigger in the future, we can research our own transcendental potions, and the contribution points needed then will become even less. This is the leader's promise to you. As long as you follow him, everyone will live better and better, and become stronger and stronger."
"Long live the leader!"
Cheers came from the crowd. Whether they were Guard Team members or ordinary outpost residents, the cheers flooded the entire warehouse.
No one felt that Wang Ting was making empty promises, because the powerful strength displayed by Wang Ting had already proven that he was a transcendental.
The power possessed by a transcendental in this doomsday was superior to everyone else; he didn't need to deceive the crowd, as force could already suppress everything.
With the announcement of the exchange system, the atmosphere within Outpost Camp quietly changed, and an upward momentum began to infect everyone.
This was something called hope. Everyone could see and touch what their contribution points could exchange for—perhaps more food, better clothes, or saving up contribution points to seek stronger power.
As long as there was hope, people would have drive, and the camp would operate even more efficiently.
In Vine Town, 117 prisoners were divided into two batches.
Among them, 29 people were bound hand and foot and pushed and shoved by Guard Team members to the corpse pit. They were forcibly pressed to kneel on the ground, facing the remaining members of the Three Wolves Gang.
"Damn things, kill me if you have the ability, otherwise I will definitely wipe out your camp!"
The members of the Three Wolves Gang kneeling on the ground showed fierce expressions, with hatred hardly concealed. At this point, they already knew they couldn't survive.
As confidants of Zhou Lin and Kang Quan, Outpost Camp would definitely not tolerate them, and the only ending awaiting them was death.
Bang!
A rifle butt smashed heavily onto the speaker's face, blood immediately flowed out, and his face was ferocious.
Feng Bo strode over. By this time, his aura was already different, formidable and full of vitality.
"If you want revenge, wait for your next life."
Feng Bo sneered, then his gaze swept across Bai Shou and the others in the crowd, and he suddenly called out: "Bai Shou, Li Bo, Guan Yue, Zheng Zhong —"
He called out several people's names, and then said: "You guys do it."
Bai Shou and the others' expressions suddenly changed. Of course they knew what Feng Bo meant by this.
Even if they were extremely unhappy in their hearts, if they refused at this time, the one kneeling up there would probably be themselves.
"Yes."
Bai Shou and the others walked out of the crowd with staggering steps; they were still hesitating in their hearts.
However, Feng Bo would not allow them to delay like this.
Clang!
Machetes were thrown in front of them, and Feng Bo said: "Execute them, and the rest of the Three Wolves Gang can join the reclamation team. As long as you do well and pass the test, you can wash away the status of prisoners and become residents of the town."
Bai Shou and the others tightly gripped the machetes in their hands, and a look of struggle constantly surfaced on their faces, but soon, a touch of ruthlessness replaced this hesitation.
They wanted to live.
"I' rather'm sorry."
As the voice fell, blades rose and fell immediately, and one member of the Three Wolves Gang after another was executed.
Cursing and scolding were endless, but Feng Bo and the others remained unmoved.
Until the execution was completed, Feng Bo waved his hand and had people take them away.
"Brother Feng, you really broke through. How does a single limit-breaking feel?"
Once everyone had left, Xiang Nan and Qu Ling approached and asked curiously.
Feng Bo grinned: "Fantastic, full of brute strength, all thanks to the leader's enhancement potion."
Hearing this, the two of them showed envious expressions. Even if it was just a single limit-breaking, it was solid enhancement.
Seeing their expressions, Feng Bo immediately said: "You guys don't be anxious either. The leader has given you nine thousand contribution points. When the leader returns from the Industrial Zone, it won't take long before you can exchange for blood vine fruit."
Hearing this, the two couldn't help muttering and asking: "We've never heard of this blood vine fruit. Does it really have about the same effect as an enhancement potion?"
Feng Bo spoke with certainty: "If the leader says it exists, then it definitely exists. Don't forget, the leader is a [Gardener] path transcendental, perhaps he has more special methods to cultivate mutated plants."
