In fact, there are many situations like Ma Fu's.
Since the last speech of the City Lord, the entire Beidou City has been like a precise machine that has been wound up and started to run according to the will of the City Lord.
Especially the three-day food shortage policy mentioned by the city lord before made these people feel a sense of crisis.
In three days, Beidou City has completed the collection of supplies. Now in Beidou City, all supplies are under the control of the city lord's government.
Of course, these people can survive to this day and still have some food in their hands, but this food is only enough to survive for a few days.
When the City Lord's Mansion just started collecting supplies, no one thought about hoarding some of them first. After all, in such a big Beidou City, the City Lord's Mansion's eyes couldn't be everywhere. As long as the City Lord's Mansion wasn't paying attention, they could search supermarkets and other places first. Collect a lot of supplies for yourself.
But the next day, a high platform was built in front of the city lord's palace, with eight corpses hanging on it.
No one knows how the City Lord's Mansion discovered these people's little moves, and no one knows whether they will become the next corpse. From then on, no one dared to make any plans for supplies.
There is nothing in Beidou City without an owner. Everything in Beidou City belongs to the city lord's palace. Being good at supplies is provoking the majesty of Beidou City's main palace! This concept has been deeply ingrained in the minds of survivors!
All Beidou City residents are beginning to face a problem. Whether they are ordinary people or players, their food is beginning to face a crisis!
Food is the basis of survival. The City Lord's Mansion only provides three days of food supply, and after that, you need to rely on your own efforts to obtain food.
The way to earn food is very simple. One is to exchange the items you own with the City Lord's Mansion for purchase, and the other is to work for the City Lord's Mansion.
If they don't want to accept this rule, that's fine. As long as they leave Beidou City, they will still be free.
But now that we have entered Beidou, who wants to live a life of fear?
Although you need to work here, it is better than the precarious life before, right?
The most important work in Beidou City now is to build city walls and repair buildings. These two tasks require more manpower, the better.
Stimulated by food, most people choose to join construction work and exchange their labor for food.
Among them, there are many players. Because the workload determines the daily harvest, players can often earn more food than ordinary people by relying on their attribute advantages.
Of course, these players are relatively weak and don’t want to take risks.
The risk factor of this kind of construction work is close to zero, and they can gain a lot of money every day, which is not bad for them.
There are also some players with good strength who either choose to join the player group formed by the city lord's palace, or choose to spontaneously form a team to go hunting.
The former is relatively low-risk, but the daily harvest is fixed. The latter is somewhat dangerous, but the harvest is much higher than that of ordinary members of the player's group.
Ma Fu picked up a pile of stones and walked towards the fortification in front of him.
This pile of stones weighed at least 150 kilograms, but to Ma Fu, this weight was not a big deal.
The ordinary survivors on the side looked at Ma Fu with envy as he walked quickly. More labor meant more gains. Ma Fu gained more in one day than they did in three days of work!
"Old Ma, are you working so hard today?" A middle-aged man greeted Ma Fu enthusiastically.
Ma Fu smiled. “If you don’t work hard, won’t you be hungry?”
"Come on, if you save some money, a few days of work will be enough for you to live for a month!" the middle-aged man complained.
"Hehe..." Ma Fu just smiled, and the smile on his face became brighter.
Because Beidou City provides a safe enough environment, some special workers also appeared one after another.
It is not that Beidou City does not provide some jobs specially prepared for women, but there are still some people who prefer to earn food for themselves in this way.
Moreover, in the previous apocalyptic life, some of them had no shyness about this kind of thing. All they wanted was more food.
The City Lord's Palace did not interfere too much in these matters, but there is only one thing, you cannot force it, otherwise your body will appear on the high platform in front of the City Lord's Palace the next day!
As long as Ma Fu saves a little food, he will squander it. As a result, people can see him working hard every day, but he can barely eat enough.
Seeing Ma Fu walking further and further away, the middle-aged man shook his head. "It's really enviable. It's a pity that I'm not a player. I gain too little every day..."
The location where Ma Fu is now is the gate of Beidou City. It is said to be a gate, but it is only a prototype.
Mo Hua's plan is for the city wall to be five meters long and the gate to imitate the ancient city gate. Now only half of the city gate is completed.
Ma Fu climbed up the city wall and placed the stone on the ground, which was soon carried away by others.
"Old Ma, how was today's harvest?" A voice came from under the city wall.
Ma Fu heard the sound and looked over, only to see a group of players standing under the city wall. It looked like they had just returned from hunting.
This team is considered to be one of the strongest among the Beidou City players. They did not choose to join the Beidou Battle Group. Instead, they spontaneously formed a team, went out hunting every day, and completed some tasks issued by the city lord's palace.
"It's okay, I can't compare with you. How was your harvest today?"
"Luckily, I have two second-level mutant beasts, three second-level zombies, and a lot of first-level crystals. The most important thing is that I found news about a survivor stronghold, which can be exchanged for a lot of points."
"Awesome, if I were you, it would be enough to gain something like this once a month." Ma Fu said enviously.
Crystal stones can also be exchanged for materials in the city lord's mansion, and the exchange rate is very high. Best of all, you can redeem points!
As for the search for survivor strongholds, it was an order issued by Mohua in order to expand the population.
Hearing Ma Fu's words, the player smiled bitterly. "It's not that easy. As you know, the house in the center is extremely expensive. Except for the second-order crystal stones, we have to exchange the harvest this time for points. If it weren't for the house, we wouldn't go out hunting every day."
Beidou City is an absolutely safe haven for ordinary people and weaker players. And for players with strength, it is the best development platform!
In addition to a place to stay, what's more important is the house in Beidou City!
The latest notice issued by the City Lord’s Mansion states that only houses on the outskirts of the city are provided free of charge, while the rest of the residences can only be exchanged for points, and the closer the house is to the center, the more points are required! The points required for a house near the city lord's palace can only be said to be astronomical!
Players are constantly earning points for these houses. The reason is the existence of [energy source]!
Within the effect of [Energy Source], players can increase their energy when affected! Living for a long time will also have great benefits for the body!
Yuan Neng is an indispensable force for players. The stronger the player, the greater the demand for Yuan Neng!
Therefore, no matter how expensive these houses are, there are still many people who work tirelessly for them.
"Hehe, so I still think my life is pretty good now. Living in the center is too unrealistic for me."
"Let's not talk about it for now. I'll redeem my points first and wait..."
Before he finished speaking, the player's expression suddenly changed and he turned to look behind him.
In the distance, streaks of fire kept flashing, followed by huge explosions.
"What is that?" the player murmured.
