Chapter 24: Rewards Settlement - Another Version Update!
The five attributes—strength, agility, constitution, perception, and intelligence—are all closely related to a player's overall strength.
Strength attribute represents the strength of body tissues such as muscles and bones, affecting a player's base carrying capacity, melee damage, and throwing weapon range.
Agility is the attribute that corresponds to reflexes and is related to a player's reaction speed, motor coordination, and other physical data.
In short, the higher agility a player has, the more skillful they are in combat and the easier it is for them to actively dodge attacks.
The constitution attribute corresponds to the player's vitality and resilience, mainly reflected in the recovery of lost health, as well as resistance and immunity to certain abnormal statuses, etc.
Intelligence attributes are not the same as IQ or logical thinking ability in common understanding.
The main impact is on the character's learning ability and the speed of mental recovery, and it also affects the compatibility with neural access devices.
The Perception attribute represents intuition and insight. Players with higher Perception are more acute intuition about danger and are more likely to discover hidden clues and traps.
Of Li Yuan's original five attributes, his constitution was naturally the highest, followed by his strength and agility, and lastly his intelligence and perception.
Now, after experiencing battle after battle, his already high attributes have become even higher! And his previously relatively low attributes have also become much higher!
This is quite different from other players where the main attribute is almost twice as high as the other attributes.
Just as Li Yuan was thinking about when to go back to the incubation chamber to check the updated attribute panel, his expression suddenly changed, and his attention shifted back to Dawn and the merchant.
The timing was perfect; the two men were shaking hands with smiles on their faces, clearly having completed negotiations and officially concluded the transaction.
Dawn then took over most of the supplies from the twenty or so yak oxen, while Lister took over the forty-eight raider prisoners.
After saying hello again, Liszt left in high spirits.
Dawn then directed the surrounding players to move the supplies into the shelter, before waving his hand and announcing, "Rewards settled!"
Instantly, all the players who participated in the operation to wipe out the raider camp cheered.
Although Li Yuan will definitely take the vast majority of the rewards, this is perfectly reasonable.
Players like them, who didn't participate in the battle and only acted as porters, were already satisfied with getting some small rewards.
Meanwhile, Lao Bai, Fang Chang, Ye Shi, and Kuang Feng were overjoyed.
Although in reality they were just like the other players, they were simply acting as porters in this mission.
However, because they are teammates with Li Yuan, they will receive a larger share of the rewards.
In this way, these first-batch players, who were already ahead of other players, will now be far ahead!
Time flew by and evening arrived, bringing an end to a wonderful day.
Players who witnessed many storylines and generally received good rewards were quite excited.
However, to their surprise, the version was updated again just the next day!
The number of closed beta testers has increased again!
Vault B2 is now open!
Most importantly, a new machine named "VM" has been added!!!
VM is actually just an abbreviation; its full name is "Vital Signs Monitor," and it is a standard feature in almost all shelters.
But in reality, its function is far more than just "monitoring vital signs".
Although it looks like a watch with a display screen, it is actually a wrist computer that integrates functions such as health check, positioning, communication, mapping, and black box.
For current players, this is equivalent to their attribute panel and task bar!
However, for the sake of a realistic gaming experience, VMs are not given away for free. Instead, players need to contribute to a certain level and upgrade their account privileges to "citizen" before they can purchase them with money.
Given Li Yuan and the other members of his team's qualifications and the tasks they had undertaken for the refuge, their contributions were certainly sufficient.
Therefore, immediately after the version update, everyone redeemed their "citizen" status and paid silver coins to purchase VMs.
Besides the five of them, there were also some players who joined the game early and were quite diligent in completing tasks, who also purchased VMs.
For these players who have VMs, the administrator Dawn issued another task—to draw a map.
The VM device can intermittently emit lasers of a specific frequency within a certain range to perform three-dimensional mapping of a space within a radius of 5m, and can also upload and share the data.
Therefore, players don't actually need to do anything special for this task. As long as they wear the VM, it will automatically save the map of the route they take and upload it to the vault's server after returning to the vault.
Therefore, the more players who own VMs in the future, and the more places they visit, the more comprehensive the map will become.
Meanwhile, with the influx of hundreds of new players, the shelter's labor shortage was also resolved.
Therefore, players who were originally restricted to moving within a limited area each day are now allowed to go out and "explore new areas".
As the strongest players and the strongest team at present, Li Yuan and the other four naturally would no longer do those low-yield tasks, but instead chose to explore the area around the shelter on their own.
After all, finding valuable resources can earn you far more than hunting or working on construction sites!
……
In the northern part of the wetland park where the sanatorium is located, between an abandoned construction site used as a source of building materials and an abandoned tire factory that was once the lair of raiders, there is a collapsed department store.
whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Li Yuan wielded a long-handled battle axe with impenetrable force, chopping all the predators that pounced on him into mincemeat.
This battle axe belonged to Xiong, the leader of the raiders. After the raider camp was wiped out, Li Yuan picked it up and used it.
Thus, the pointed steel pipe that had accompanied him for so long officially became a souvenir and withdrew from the stage of history.
At this moment, their team was on the first floor of the department store.
This place is inhabited by a large number of predators, symbiotic alien species created by biological weapons and born under fungal infection, whose ancestor can no longer be traced back to what it was.
However, this monster fears sunlight, so it often hides underground or in the shadows of buildings during the day, only venturing out to hunt for food when night falls.
They are like zombies without any independent consciousness, retaining only the instinct to eat, and their fighting ability is even inferior to that of mutated hyenas.
Even without Li Yuan, Lao Bai, Fang Chang, Ye Shi, and Kuang Feng could have taken care of the predators one by one, as long as they didn't recklessly charge into the group.
Not to mention, Li Yuan is here now as well.
He easily chopped the more than thirty predators on the first floor of the building into minced meat, just like chopping melons and vegetables.
After carefully checking the area and making sure there were no more predators on this floor, Li Yuan waved his hand: "Let's go, to the underground!"
Old Bai and the others naturally had no objections. Since the department store had already collapsed, and they couldn't explore upwards, they could only go downwards.
However, just as they stepped down the stairs to the basement, the VMs on the wrists of the five people suddenly sounded an alarm in unison!
Drop drop!
Drop drop!
Drop drop!
