The amount of work done in the afternoon is almost three times that of the day. There were a total of fifty logs of different thicknesses, which were pulled by the players with ropes and carts to the edge of the wall of the nursing home.

To be honest, the performance of these players exceeded Lucius's expectations. The length of each piece of wood is between 10 and 8 meters, and the length can even reach 20 meters, and more than half of them are the thickness of thighs.

Lucius counted, a total of 2000 points of contribution. Among them, Bunny achieved the most results, reaching 800 points by himself, and Gale was probably the worst. This guy's clone is not good at sports, he has physique of an ordinary person, and he earned 300 points after a busy day.

As for what is the role of this low physique clone? Lucius hadn't figured it out yet. The shelter is a poor group now, he only has two lollipops in his pocket, and there was a compressed biscuit before, but he has already gnawed it off.

After thinking about it, he only told the players that in addition to waiting for three days for resurrection, he had to spend resurrection coins. The resurrection coins need to be purchased with contribution points. Although the 'Purchasing power' of contribution points is a bit weak, players don't seem to care too much.

After all, it is now in the beta test stage, so it is understandable that the game content is small. As long as you don't delete files and rob their money, you can always find a place to spend when the server opens. In addition, the contribution point has no entity, it is just a number, and it can only be viewed on the official website after going offline for the time being.

Although Lucius also wanted to learn from Boulder City and get some tangible coins, but there was no way, the conditions in the shelter were too difficult, and he couldn't even get the materials for ’Coins'.

He can never give chips to the players.

Although that thing is the hard currency in this area of Spring City, he doesn't have many left. Besides, it's useless to send chips directly to them, and it's impossible for players to go to the survivor's stronghold to trade by themselves. The fact that I can communicate with the survivors is because I have traveled here as a soul, and I have the language of this world in my head. And the clones used by those players are completely blank slates, they don't even possess basic intelligence, let alone the idea of ​​inheriting memory. The language used by the survivors in this area of Spring City is the common language of Renlian.

This language is completely different from the language of any country or nation in the present world. At most, it is only slightly similar to ENGLISH in terms of grammar and pronunciation.

In the future, Lucius will consider developing a set of translation tools to solve the problem of communication between players and 'NPCs' and redesign the distribution system and economic system by the way.

But not now.

……

After counting the results of today's work, it was getting dark.

Lucius looked up at the setting sun in the sky, and narrowed his eyes slightly. It's going to be night.

"Master Manager, I found out that our outpost has no electricity," Tomorrow stepped forward and said, "Why don't we find a way to get a generator?"

Good question. It's a pity that it is equivalent to nonsense.

"We don't have an extra generator," Lucius looked at him and asked, "Who of you know about this? Or do you have electrician-related technology?"

The players looked at each other.

"Can't you pull a string from the ground?" Walker asked a very mentally handicapped question.

"There is not such a long line, and the energy in the shelter is not unlimited. Even if it can be used in the short term, the long-term problem still cannot be solved, and even greater hidden dangers will be planted."

Having said that, Lucius paused for a while and spoke again, "It's getting late, we should go back."

What he mentioned here is naturally refers to "offline" for players. Although it wasn't completely dark yet, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was about to dawn in earth in the parallel world.

Unknowingly, after staying in the game world for so long, the players who suddenly came to their senses had unsatisfactory expressions on their faces. They always feel that there are still a lot to explore in this world. But there is still work to do during the day, and it is impossible to stay here all the time.

……

Inside Shelter No.404...

Looking at the players lying down in the training cabin, Lucius thought, maybe he should also try to recruit some idlers who have no work during the day. Otherwise, at night, he would be the only one left in the huge outpost, which would not be suitable from a security point of view.

"It's better to continue to sleep in the shelter today."

He really didn't want to go back to that 'kennel' in Beit Street if it wasn't necessary. Just when Lucius was thinking about what to do, Popo came by his side.

"Master."

"What's wrong?"

"The physical examination report of the clone has been updated, would you like to take a look at it?"

Lucius hesitated a little.

"……Medical report?"

"Well! Every time the player logs out normally, the cultivation cabin will scan the clones in the cabin, record the physical condition of the clones, and extract a certain number of embryonic stem cells for backup, recording the development progress of the gene sequence—"

"Wait, what is a genetic sequence?"

Hearing this unfamiliar keyword, Lucius always felt that he had missed some key information.

Facing the manager's question, Popo replied disapprovingly.

"Didn't you find out? The clones used by each player are synthesized from different DNA, and the gene sequence is the number of different DNA."

Lucius then asked: "Then what is the development progress?"

"Every sequence of DNA is carefully designed, but unfortunately, we have not fully grasped the mysteries of life."

"Not all traits of genetic information are fully expressed. It's as if the children of athletes are more likely to become athletes, but they are not born athletes. The so-called development progress refers to the degree of dominant expression of a specific segment in the gene sequence, usually expressed as a percentage."

"For example, if the development progress reaches 100%, it means that the performance of the living body is infinitely close to the limit of genetic design, reaching the most perfect state... But this is almost impossible."

"Currently, the development progress of the four gene sequences we have activated is between 0 and 1%. According to research, as long as we continue to stimulate the survival instinct and exercise the body, this value can be increased."

If 'Gene Sequence' is understood as a profession, 'Development Progress' is probably similar to a grade. The gene sequence that focuses on strength enhancement is like the 'Barbarian' in the DND rules, which is inherently stronger and tends to increase the strength attribute.

For example, 'Badass Bunny'. The other players are quite normal, but he is thick and big, obviously not a normal person.

Good guy. These clones - oh no, players, they can be upgraded! And there is such a setting as talent! Such an awesome thing, he actually only now knows! Looking at Popo who was explaining as if nothing had happened, Lucius couldn't help but said.

"Why did you tell me such an important thing now???"

Popo said aggrievedly: "Didn't you tell me not to speak up suddenly? I planned to tell you from the beginning."

Lucius: “……”

This guy……

Absolutely is intentional!
