This Game Is Too Realistic

Chapter 86 Steel Plant No. 81 and "Exclusive Mission"

A few players quickly stood up, fearing that the administrator would change his mind. Looking at these "lucky guys", there were many envious voices around them.

"I'm so jealous!"

"Damn it! Why can't my Gwent Tavern be approved!"

"Maybe the administrator doesn't like that game? Try a different game next time."

"It's already 2340, how can there be no club like Dicky Twister? It's not reasonable at all."

It was clearly snowing, but the shelter outpost was still very lively.

At this time, the few players who were in front of the map finally confirmed their position and started to discuss with each other.

"Ohhhhhh, Teng Teng's cabin is right next to the resurrection point! Noice!"

"My butcher shop is so close to the granary, so cool."

"What the fuck! Why is my goblin chemical plant in the outermost area!" Mosquito looked at the map and had a crying expression on his face.

Chu Guang glanced at him and snorted in his heart.

'Outermost?'

'It's already very nice that I didn't arrange it outside the wall!'

As we all know, the chemical industry is a high-risk industry, especially gunpowder. It's fine if players died in the blast. But if the shelter was blown up, it would be a terrible loss.

Chu Guang would let Luca pay attention to the raw material consumption and daily output of this [Goblin Industry], and keep the inventory of dangerous goods within a safe range.

If the outpost was expanded in the future, he would also consider moving it out.

[I_have_to_go_to_the_bathroom] and [Who_will_smell_my_athlete's_foot] stared at the map with confused expressions.

Neither player had any opinion on the location of the steel workshop. Although the location was close to the south gate, it was close to the main road and the way to the warehouse was also convenient. It was just that a question mark was drawn with a pencil on the location of their workshop on the map, which made them confused.

Brother Bathroom raised his head and looked at the administrator.

"Dear administrator, may I ask... what does the question mark on the map mean?"

Brother Athlete's Foot nodded and asked.

"Yeah, yeah, I didn't understand."

Of course, the question mark means that there are tasks that can be taken up.

Unexpectedly, these two players had forgotten even this common sense. Chu Guang cleared his throat and spoke with a serious expression,

"Steel is the top priority for the industrialization of the outpost. Your hard work has triggered the hidden task. Of course, this task is optional, and you have the right to choose whether or not to accept it."

'A hidden task!'

The eyes of the two players suddenly lit up, and the players next to them also casted envious looks.

"Two hundred square meters of land, there is a hidden task!"

"Damn it!"

"This is so cool!"

….

Brother Bathroom shook his hands with excitement. "Dear administrator, we are willing to accept the task!"

Brother Athlete's Foot bobbed his head vigorously, "Yes! I am willing too!"

The corners of his mouth curled up into a small arc, Chu Guang extended his arm and handed out a task book—a contract—that had already been prepared.

"Look at it first before making a decision."

...

[Mission: Industrial Fire (Optional)]

[Explanation: In order to stimulate the increase of steel production capacity in the outpost and to improve the efficiency of scrap metal smelting, the chief administrator of the shelter has issued an instruction and is willing to provide a budget of 2000 silver coins to support the research and development of steelmaking technology.

If budget support is accepted, the steel workshop will be upgraded to a joint-venture steel plant. The shelter will hold 80% shares of the steel plant and the founder will hold 20% shares.

The founder only needs to pay 50 silver coins as registered capital to set up a special corporate account to receive budget subsidies.

The funds in the corporate account cannot be withdrawn directly. However, it can be used to purchase materials from the warehouse, entrust the warehouse to publish scavenging and exploring missions, and offer rewards. Moreover, it can be used to pay the salary expenses of employees with less than 4 people.

If the hourly salary is less than 1 silver coin and the working hours are less than 12 hours, you only need to report and register it. If it exceeds, the administrator will need to review it.

When the funds in the corporate account are greater than 2,000 silver coins, you can apply for dividends to part of the profits. Within one month, dividends of less than 1,000 silver coins do not need to pay any taxes. The dividends greater than 1,000 and less than 10,000 silver coins are required to pay 4%, and the dividends greater than 10,000 silver coins are required to pay 8% or more. The specific implementation tax rate will fluctuate according to the policy.]

[Precautions:

1. Please refer to the "Enterprise Account Management Rules" for details on the use of funds. If there is a phenomenon such as abusing rules to extract funds, violating accounts will be punished with a minimum 200% fine and a maximum penalty of permanent repatriation to the ground.

2. After accepting the task, a series of exclusive tasks and orders will be triggered. The reward types include but are not limited to equipment, money, contribution points, budget subsidies, land, and shares. If you give up, you need to meet certain conditions before it can be triggered again.]

'Is it to open a small workshop or a large factory?'

'If it is in reality, this issue may have to be seriously considered.'

'However, in the game…'

'This is just a hidden mission!'

Although the budget could not be directly taken from the account, it was still two thousand silver coins! Using fifty silver coins for the right to use one thousand silver coins, no matter how they thought of it, was still a great deal.

Without even a second of hesitation, Brother Bathroom and Brother Athlete's Foot accepted the task happily and signed their long IDs on the task book.

The main person responsible for registration was [Who_will_smell_my_athlete's_foot]. After the two negotiated, they each held eleven and nine percent of the shares.

"Dear administrator, what is the name of our steel plant?"

Chu Guang was naturally unwilling to do such a troublesome thing.

"You can decide for yourself."

'We can even name it ourselves!'

The two players' eyes lit up, and they immediately got together to discuss.

"How about the Laiyang Iron and Steel Plant? This name is pretty cool!"

"Seriously? Do you want to be sued by that corporation after the game is released? Let's change to some other names."

"I can't think of anything at the moment."

"Just use anything other than that name. Hurry up, don't let the NPC wait!"

"How about No. 81, this number is auspicious."

"Okay. Let's just use this name."

In this way, the first steel plant of No. 404 shelter—"No. 81 Steel Plant"—was formally established.

And Brother Bathroom and Brother Athlete's Foot also unlocked their first exclusive mission, "Customize armor for the administrator's KV-1 exoskeleton!"

The mission requirements were very simple. The total weight of the armor needed to be less than two hundred kilograms. This was necessary to protect the user from frontal light weapon fire without affecting maneuverability.

In addition, there were some detailed requirements, such as the thickness of the breastplate should be greater than ten millimeters and less than twenty millimeters, and it could be disassembled and replaced after damage.

As for the task reward, it was up to two hundred silver coins!

Two hundred silver coins!

After securing equipments, many people couldn't even get double digits of silver coins out of their pockets!

When the news spread, all the players in the outpost were left in shock.

"Holy shit, isn't the reward of two hundred silver coins a bit too high?!"

It was Brother Mosquito who was talking.

After allocating the land, the administrator went back to the third floor of the nursing home to sit down, and the players who had been busy for a day squatted on the ground to eat on the first floor.

Originally, Brother Mosquito was quite excited that the [Goblin Industry], which was renamed, was approved, but compared to the two idiots' steel plants, what he got was nothing.

Brother Scrambled Egg also looked envious.

"Compared to two hundred silver coins, I think the budget of two thousand silver coins is even more outrageous! Life Profession players are seriously buffed in this update, but why is it not me who is strengthened, damn it!"

Several players from the Bull and Horse Club were also nearby, and Night Ten, who was holding a bowl of shofar potatoes, said with a smile,

"The administrator said that there is no prey to slaughter now, so you can go and dig trenches."

Tomato_scrambled_eggs: "I've changed my mind. Can I change my business? Can I secretly set up a stove to open a restaurant?"

Gale: "There is a risk. It is better to reapply for it. Otherwise, it is said that if the purpose of using the land is changed, it can cause you to lose that land and even be fined."

Tomato_scrambled_eggs: "Wuwu..."

Ample Time, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but interject,

“Actually, it’s not as ridiculous as you think. Receiving a budget of two thousand silver coins means a twenty percent reduction in control. Obviously, the developers have taken into account the problem of inflation. In other words, even if you make twn thousand silver a month, the part of the money that belongs to you is still only two thousand silver coins, and this part of the money still cannot be withdrawn! Dividends need to be deducted for tax first. After that, there are only less than one thousand silver coins per person."

WC_really_has_mosquitoes: "But it's still a lot!"

Old White: "I’m beginning to regret choosing the combat profession."

Gale: "Actually, there is a very interesting mathematical problem, about the yield curve. Under normal circumstances, a new player's income is about three hundred silver coins a month if they work very hard. If the steel plant's benefit is less than three thousand silver coins, then two co-operators are basically 'losing' because they can earn these by doing tasks. But if they can reduce costs by improving production and create revenue of more than three thousand silver coins, then they will be able to make a lot of profit in this task."

Night Ten: "Even an exclusive mission has a reward of more than two hundred silver coins. So, is it that difficult to earn three thousand silver coins a month?"

Ample Time: "It's still a bit difficult. Don't be blinded by the short term profit. You have to look further. Think about it, how many armor suits can the administrator wear?"

WC_really_has_mosquitoes had a glimmer of surprise in his eyes. He who had opened a shop in reality immediately understood what Ample Time meant.

"Wait, what you said... I seem to understand what you mean."

'I like chatting with smart people the most.'

Ample Time smiled.

"Right?"

Night Ten was still confused. Seeing that Ample Time had no plans to talk about it, he hurriedly asked,

"What do you mean? I still don't understand!"

Ample Time explained impatiently,

"Tsk, simply put, exclusive orders are actually limited! This game has a concept that many MMORPGs don't have, and that is 'demand'!

"NPC will not be like a black hole, infinitely buying things produced by living players. Most of the things produced by players need to be sold to other players. That is to say, the benefits of the steel plant are not determined by itself, but by the consumption power of other players. Especially for Combat Profession players!"

"Then suppose I am a combat player and I have a hundred silver coins in my pocket. If I plan to spend fifty silver coins to upgrade weapons and armors, then Life Profession players may earn these fifty silver coins, but they have to compete with NPCs. Do you understand what I mean now?"

Night Ten seemed to understand, and said in a daze, "...In other words, how much money a Life Profession player earns would depend on how much a Combat Profession player earns by doing missions? Hmmm, I seem to understand..."
