Chapter 392: Chapter 211 Rest Day_2

Lin Wu’s methods of dealing with zombies had once again advanced, and he sat on a tree stump and ordered, "Come, drag it over."

Wai charged and knocked down the zombie, biting its arm and dragging the zombie in front of Lin Wu, who swiftly dispatched it with his knife. Then, while sipping tea, he treated Wai’s wounds. Later, realizing this didn’t seem to increase Agility, he took Wai for a run. Less than a hundred meters into their run, in the reforestation area, they encountered a rabbit and the man and dog switched to hunting.

While hunting, they came across a Ranger’s Hut and switched their hunting job to scavenging. After finishing their scavenging, the pair washed off in a nearby mountain stream and waterfall. By chance, they discovered a player base that had been converted from an abandoned shack.

Deep in the forest, the existence of a player base aroused the curiosity of Lin Wu and Wai. They circled around the base but suddenly, the base disappeared. They could almost be certain that the base was dissolved due to the demise of all its members. They entered the former base, took a look around, and found nothing of value.

Seeing the sun set, the man and dog played all the way back, with games that included catching butterflies, long jumping, rolling in the mud, singing in the waterfall, riding on Wai in the water, and Wai dragging Lin Wu through various activities.

Lin Wu took this day as a holiday, joyfully taking a trip into the mountains. Go squeeze through several hours of sewers? No, thanks. The task you messed up is for you to take on, not me.

Lin Wu brought back a rabbit, hoping to enjoy it alone, but the aroma of the barbecue attracted Little Knife, who was not quite satisfied with the smell and called over Horse Soul. Horse Soul seasoned the rabbit and, in the end, the two-kilogram wild rabbit was shared among six people. Stone was pleased with the rabbit and encouraged Lin Wu not to forget the original spirit of a Hunter, to continue the effort, and to aim for bringing back two rabbits every day.

It was after 9 p.m. when the group of four from the sewers returned home. The good news was that they had taken on the task on the 33rd floor again. The bad news was that this time, the task on the 33rd floor had changed to: Succession. The story background was almost the same: the Aixia Family, the scientist, rescuing the heir, etc., but the task name had changed from the original rescue to succession.

For Maya, this change meant that all the information obtained from the failed task today was now worthless.

At ten at night, they were supposed to continue with the drawing lots for staying behind. This drawing was no longer just about staying behind; it also had a hint of holiday about it. Since it was a holiday, it had to be fair and just. Some people felt that playing games should not be treated as work.

At this time, Peanut said, "I admire Shana the most, followed by Lin Wu. After crawling through the sewers just once, I realized they are the most selfless people in the base since they have gone through the sewers the most times."

What Peanut meant was, daily tasks are varied and some are more undesirable than others. With higher-ranked tasks, one could treat work as if it were a game, but not many people like the grueling job of crawling through sewers. There were different opinions on crawling through sewers. Unusually, Shana responded to Peanut’s words with silence, indirectly expressing her dislike for spending several hours each day in the sewers.

Once survival was secured and there was no worry for food and clothing, people naturally began to seek an improvement in their quality of life. One particular thing about the Home game was that even the weak could challenge a Titan, and the strong could still be killed by a zombie bite; not many people were overly enthusiastic about leveling up. Compared to traditional games, Home was closer to real life, in other challenges like how to allocate tasks and how to live.

Considering that they might need to engage in farming in the summer, the issue of task allocation became the biggest challenge facing the management. If handled well, Shadow team could continue to progress. If handled poorly, the team might fall apart.

Stone proposed three plans. The first was a points system. For example, a trip to the sewers could earn two points, scavenging in a mall 1.2 points, and every week each person must complete six points. Meaning, if you’re willing to go through the sewers three times, you could rest for the rest of the week, or choose to scavenge with the team. Of course, Stone was just giving an example; specific point values needed to be discussed by everyone.

The second plan was a fixed rotation of positions. For instance, Su Shi was affirmed as a logistics staff, irreplaceable, hence not part of the rotation. Maya, as the raid captain, would also not join the rotation. The people eligible for rotation would rest one or two at a time every day, while others would follow the team and obey commands.

The second plan would lead to reduced work efficiency, but considering the base was currently comfortable, there was some room for implementation.

Lin Wu did not participate in the discussion and hardly spoke. He still missed life at the supermarket base but knew that as the game updated step by step, players had to stick together to increase their chances of survival. In this gathering, division of tasks was crucial; a base needed both field and logistics personnel.

Gradually, the base would move from being governed by unwritten laws to being bound by written rules.

"The third plan, fixed roles and freedom. After confirming the positions or professions of Su Shi, Maya, and others, everyone else can be free to act. The standard is safety first. When our resources are scarce, we will naturally work hard to survive," Stone further explained. "Maya asks who will join the scavenging tomorrow, three people raise their hands, they will go shopping with Maya tomorrow. Shana asks who will go to the sewers tomorrow, no hands are raised, considering safety, the trip is canceled. What if Maya doesn’t like scavenging? As the Deputy Commander, Maya must propose new work. These tasks are discussed by the commanders and are the things that need to be done in the near term."
