Chu Guang was a very principled person, and of course, he did not exploit the players.
Although the shelter was very poor now and contribution points couldn't buy anything other than the "Resurrection Coins", he still gave Teng Teng something.
Every time a piece of clothing was made, she would be rewarded with 50 contribution points.
The requirement was not high, something just enough to keep warm would pass.
Once the "shop system" went online, he planned to price these clothes from 100 to 500 contribution points based on their quality and sell them to other players.
In this case, he would have to find an NPC to be a merchant.
Chu Guang once heard that the Brown Farm near them would sell some weak slaves every winter to save food and fuel. When the spring started next year, they would buy a batch of slaves from the slave merchant.
‘Maybe I should go there to try my luck.'
"Dear administrator, when shall we leave?"
Looking at Chu Guang coming out of the nursing home, Mr. Garbage's reptilian tail swayed to greet him and asked impatiently.
"No hurry, I have to find you a handy weapon… Come with me."
Outside the nursing home wall, there was a small wooden cabin which was built by [WC_really_has_mosquitoes] and was currently in use as a wood workshop.
The outposts currently lacked tools, especially steel tools of reliable quality. Many things could only be replaced by wood.
But the players were a smart bunch of people.
Combining some industrial waste and wood scoured from the wasteland, this player who was proficient in woodworking had made a lot of post-apocalyptic-style tools.
The crossbow leaning against the wall was one of them.
The wooden crossbow's body was made up of simple mechanical structures and hinges made up of stainless steel parts, and the bowstring was made of mutated hyena tendons which had undergone special treatment.
As for the arrows, they were sharpened metal pieces.
His iron-barreled rifle was running out of ammunition, and there were about twenty rounds left, so he needed to save them. For prey that could be killed with a crossbow, it was better to use one as much as possible.
Seeing the Administrator pick up the crossbow, Mr. Garbage thought that the weapon would be given to him and quickly reached out to take it, but his hands were slapped away by the Administrator.
"Your weapon is that."
Chu Guang pointed to a few javelins in the corner of the wall made with sharpened metal pieces as the javelin head, with a convenient carrying strap next to it.
"Your strength attribute has 8 points. As long as you master throwing skills, you can kill your prey within ten meters."
Mr. Garbage showed a sad expression.
"But Administrator, I still think… if I had a ranged weapon, my hunting efficiency would be higher."
Chu Guang glanced at his two-meter-tall figure.
What was the point of having such a big body if all he knew was camping?
Refusing to be a Tank? Was he still a man?
"The javelin is the basic skill of hunting, as regardless of close combat or mid-range encounters, it can keep you from falling into a passive situation. I will only teach you hunting skills today. As for the weapons you choose to fight with in the future, it's up to you."
‘So this is a skill training tutorial?'
Mr. Garbage nodded without saying anything as if he had vaguely understood something.
While talking, the player [WC_really_has_mosquitoes] pushed open the door of the wooden cabin and walked out of it with two glass bottles.
Seeing Chu Guang, his eyes lit up and said, "Dear Administrator, I was just about to look for you! This is the acetone I told you about! We can use it as a solvent to make smokeless gunpowder."
While speaking, he also shook the bottle in his right hand like some alchemist. This movement shocked Chu Guang and Mr. Garbage, making them subconsciously take a step back at the same time.
"It's fine. Hehe, it's okay as long as it doesn't encounter an open flame, hehehehe."
Mosquito laughed excitedly.
He only dared to do this kind of thing in the game, he would never dare to do it in his own small workshop in real life.
It was just that he didn't expect that this game was so real that he could really make this thing.
At this time, he suddenly noticed the lizardman next to the Administrator, and his excited expression visibly froze.
"Who is this……"
Chu Guang coughed lightly and said.
"He is a new resident, ID: Garbage_pickup_level_99."
"Wow, a newbie."
Mosquito looked at him enviously.
‘He actually has a hidden character at the start of the game, this is not fair!'
"Tell me about the thing in your hands," Chu Guang glanced at the glass bottle in his hand. "This thing… how did you make it?"
"The method is very simple. It is actually the dry distillation of wood. You can put the wood in a sealed metal container and bake it, export it with a tube, and condense in a supercooled bucket. The collected condensate can be easily divided into a water-like solution and thick tar-like residue... just a simple fractionation method will do."
"The part of the water sample is wood acetic acid, which is mainly composed of acetic acid, acetone, and methanol. Their boiling points can be used for further fractionation. Among them, acetic acid can react with alkali metal compounds to form salts that can be used for many purposes, making the acetone in my right hand... very useful."
Speaking of this, Mosquito sighed intently.
"Tsk, if only we can get sulfuric acid. With sulfuric acid, we can get hydrogen peroxide out. Mixing hydrogen peroxide and acetone can make triacetone triperoxide… that is, TATP, commonly known as entropy explosive."
Mr. Garbage was also stunned and couldn't help swallowing.
‘What does this guy do in reality?'
‘He is simply incredible!'
Chu Guang was also shocked by this guy.
He subconsciously glanced at the small wooden cabin in front of him. There was no way he would be able to associate this thing with a chemical laboratory.
Only players could do such a dangerous thing.
Collecting himself, Chu Guang looked at him and continued. "I will pay attention to the chemical plants in this area, so... you mean the explosives can't be produced yet?"
"I can't get high-performance ones, but black powder is very easy to get. Give me some time, I'm thinking of other ways, but… sometimes, you don't have to use explosives to get the killing effect," Mosquito shook his left hand and continued with a smile, "This bottle is a mixture of pine oil and acetone. I also added a little plant fiber to it. You can light the flammable material tied at the mouth of the bottle and throw it out. It can burn for a long time..."
‘Molotov cocktail?!'
‘This is a good thing!'
Chu Guang's eyes lit up, and he took the glass bottle from Mosquito's hand and weighed it in his hand.
"Have you tested its power?"
"Uh… We're practically surrounded by trees, so I'm worried that the fire won't be extinguished." Mosquito said embarrassingly.
‘Good.'
‘It seems that this guy still has some common sense.'
"I'll try it out for you later."
Chu Guang quietly put away the glass bottle, looked at him and continued.
"It's still dangerous to do chemical experiments in this environment, and the shelter doesn't have the conditions to store such dangerous goods for the time being. I will give you the rewards you deserve, but I can't encourage you to expand production."
After a moment's pause, Chu Guang carried on.
"But… I suggest you try to make these chemicals play a role in the production and construction of the outpost, and create the value we need."
"Create the value we need..." Mosquito muttered and fell into deep thought.
"Mhm, you can think about it," Chu Guang nodded, and continued, "Of course, I also suggest that you talk to the other residents of the shelter and ask them if they have any good suggestions. Maybe there will be unexpected gains."
