"Don't you think it's a bit strange that the NPC wants us to duel with this gray rat at this time?"
Captain Hamster pushed up his non-existent glasses and said in a deep voice, "Think about it, this NPC has always asked us to focus on collecting materials, and the stuff he gives us to eat is disgusting..."
He retched and continued: "Just, how should I put it, it feels very strange, okay, we were suddenly asked to fight rats. You have also seen the combat effectiveness of gray rats. Let us, a group of recruits who basically have no fighting ability, fight with gray rats. , if we get injured, we will lose more than we gain - the ET points were originally issued by him, and there is no substantial reward that can be redeemed yet. Will he deliberately let us get injured in order to deduct our ET points? It's just the materials that were brought back during the treatment time. , how much inventory is enough to increase?”
"It seems to be the truth." Kenneth was convinced. He was hit hard by the squirrel, and his chest was still feeling tight. "Improving efficiency is the most important thing for the base. I looked at the NPC's eyes. , if there were stimulants, he would definitely feed us like crazy."
"Yes, so the NPC's behavior must have deep meaning!!"
Captain Hamster finally expressed his conclusion: "Don't look at this NPC, who is cold and ruthless, staring at a poker face all day long, but he is actually very good to us! Feng Su was captured before, and he was He immediately took us to rescue people, and when I woke up first, he spoke very gently to me."
"So he still has a ruthless face and a soft heart?"
"It should be. I think he asked us to duel with the gray rats to warn us..." Captain Hamster's eyes lit up, "I know, we will definitely face a large number of gray rats attacking soon. He is letting us Let’s adapt to the strength of the waste star monster in advance!”
"And it turns out that if the NPC didn't remind us like this, if we encountered a large number of squirrels temporarily... no, even if we just encountered squirrels while collecting materials, we would have suffered a big loss!"
"This will allow us to think deeply about ourselves, and at the same time open a training room specifically for us so that we can have the idea of training independently..."
"He is so gentle, I cried to death!"
After some players thought about it carefully, Captain Hamster’s logic was indeed completely correct!
This NPC actually thinks so far!
"Then what do we do now?"
"We must not live up to the NPC's deep meaning. According to what he said, there is only one dummy in the training room, so we will take turns training in it." Captain Hamster said, "The other thing is the body of this gray rat... He said this thing Can you give us extra food?"
"I've seen it. There is a high-temperature spray gun in the hall. It can theoretically be used for barbecue." The recycled air conditioner raised his hand, "We just need to let Kenneth deal with the chinchilla skin first."
"That's no problem." Kenneth waved his machete, "Dissection is available in every game. I'm good at it. Maybe I can also develop a skill in dissection? For example, mastery of biological structure?"
Hearing this, everyone was envious again. The game mechanism of Project Stars determines that those who can get the tools first will be able to obtain various skills first.
Although these skills may not necessarily come in handy, but who knows when they will be able to take them out for a walk? Why don’t you have too many skills?
So the players began to divide the work. Kenneth was responsible for processing the chinchilla carcass, and the first person to enter the training room was the mammoth. The wind speed determines the height of the skirt because the ET point is the lowest, so he rushed out to find materials.
"Looks like we're on the right track."
Wu Que in the central control room did not listen to the players' words. He only saw a few people acting separately, each performing his duties for the time being.
Originally, everyone was focused on collecting materials. Although this work efficiency seemed very high, it was actually not friendly to the development of the base and the growth of players. Another term is "industrial simplification."
Of course, it is also a helpless move at the beginning. Who doesn’t cut down trees when playing MC and who doesn’t send people to mine when playing RTS games? There is nothing we can do about it.
Now, in addition to work, players can finally start to seriously improve their skills. Although the rewards of ET points are also rewards, they are still a bit illusory at the moment.
Only when you can definitely see your character improving can you drive players' interest in playing.
That is to say, there are not enough players now, otherwise Wu Que could form a special hunting team to hunt squirrels and improve the food.
"Base ET7424: Expanded.
Base integrity: 5%.
Unlocked areas: central hall, central control room, analysis workshop, production workshop one, warehouse one, power generation room one, training room [small].
Developed technologies: None.
Material reserves: Food: 32; Alloy: 11; Electricity: 3.
Population: 8. "
Since the power generation room was unlocked, the alloys and electricity that had been in reserve were once again emptied.
Alloy is now the easiest resource to obtain. Most of the materials that players have diligently moved back are currently alloys.
Electricity is a resource that is quite difficult to obtain. In the past, the electricity in the base was provided as a bonus when unlocking the base. If there is no power station, the only way to replenish electricity is to go outside to find energy bars that have little power left.
Fortunately, the power station has been unlocked and can replenish power through stellar illumination. As for the specific power generation efficiency, it currently displays 30 points of power for a waste star day. This number seems okay, but the power for other rooms needs to be deducted. Maintenance cost and daily electricity consumption of 5 points, then the daily net electricity income is only 25 points.
The power requirement for the next study room to be unlocked is 50 points, and the alloy requirement is 150 points.
"Let them collect 150 alloys in two days...it doesn't seem to be a problem based on their enthusiasm." Wu Que pondered, "But if the base cannot cash in the ET points in time, I'm afraid their enthusiasm will fade."
"The production workshop can solve your confusion." ET7424 broadcast reported: "The drawings you collected before are quite suitable for recruits to use. The primary power enhancement device can be built by paying only 50 alloy and 200 ET points."
"What a high price." Wu Que took a breath, this ET7424 is really capable of opening a lion's mouth.
"You get what you pay for. Products produced by the base must be high-quality products." The electronic sound of ET7424 sounds particularly serious.
"There are still too few people... With more people, productivity will be improved, and everything will be easier." Wu Que thought about it for a while, frowned, "Unlocking the power station is such an important event, shouldn't you give away a few player quotas? ?"
"Master Executor, you should reflect on why you don't have mitosis. If you directly split the body that can be used by players, wouldn't you be able to quickly increase the number of players?"
"Am I some kind of alien?" Wu Que once again resisted the urge to punch the center console and turned his attention to the monitor.
On the surveillance camera, Kenneth was still carefully dissecting the mouse.
At the entrance of the small training room next to the power station, the Mammoth was preparing to enter.
