#50 - Chapter 50 Contribution Points
Inside the Green Source Base.
The newly joined brothers, Sun Xiaolong and Sun Xiaohu,
were currently participating in the wall construction team.
After a night's rest,
the events of last night had faded considerably.
Their injuries had also healed significantly.
They mainly suffered from superficial wounds and short-term malnutrition, but they recovered quickly after being nourished.
The events of last night were in the past.
Life had to go on.
The two brothers were assigned to a dormitory, and the base manager, Tang Jinming, told them some precautions before letting them rest.
Little did they know they were still under close surveillance by the base.
They were brought in unconscious yesterday and taken out again after dark.
In the darkness, they hadn't seen the full picture of the base.
It wasn't until they woke up and came out during the day that they realized they had joined an extraordinary place.
The several-story-high walls and armed personnel patrolling everywhere with guns made them believe that this was a shelter built by humans long ago.
After breakfast,
they learned the general situation of the Green Source Base from chatting with people nearby.
All they could say was that President Qin here was truly remarkable!
Not long after the apocalypse, he had actually established such a base, although many details and important information were still unclear.
But after what happened last night, and considering the scale of the base,
one could infer the whole from a part.
It was clear that the strength here was formidable.
They couldn't help but feel awe towards this President Qin.
In the morning, they followed others to the wall to help. The wall, which looked magnificent from a distance, felt even more majestic when standing at its foot.
Although they didn't know why this President Qin was still not satisfied with such high walls and wanted to make them even higher and stronger,
no one else could question it, let alone them, who had just joined. They just had to follow along.
At this time, having a safe place to live and something to eat seemed good enough.
The two brothers were inherently law-abiding people. Seeing the other people in the base working hard beside them, they wouldn't say much, and they also worked hard together. Occasionally, during breaks, they chatted with new acquaintances to learn more about the place.
They slowly began to integrate into the large collective here.
Today was another busy day at the base.
During the day, besides Li Bowen's team returning several times, other teams also returned one after another, transporting the collected supplies back for storage.
Whenever the bell rang around the base to attract zombies,
they knew that the gate was about to open to welcome the returning combat team members.
Seeing trucks loaded with supplies being unloaded, everyone felt a sense of satisfaction.
Although the base was still under unified allocation, in a communal pot mode,
only combat team members had the right to keep a small amount of the items they found outside.
Except for some managers, everyone else basically enjoyed the same standard of ordinary treatment.
There was no way around it; combat team members had some privileges.
Who told them to dare to go out and risk their lives?
But it was already good; at least there was independent housing and food and drink here.
There was also hot water at night, and daily necessities were not lacking.
They could even charge their mobile phones and flashlights at the unified charging station.
The Green Source Base was quite generous with these low-power electronic products for the time being.
Even if hundreds of these small devices were charged, it wouldn't consume much electricity, and it was better to enrich the lives of the internal personnel and prevent them from overthinking.
Although there was no internet now, mobile phones were still the best tool for humans to pass the time.
Whether it was listening to music, watching cached movies, or playing single-player games, they were all top choices.
If you didn't cache anything, and you didn't hurry to download resources knowing that the apocalypse was coming, then sorry to say.
Today,
Qin Jin again issued some new regulations at the base, including basic points and contribution points.
Basic points were earned by completing some non-dangerous tasks in the base, which could be used to recharge for hot water, charge devices, and other existing benefits.
That is, only those who work normally will enjoy these basic benefits that everyone has.
If someone is lazy or causes any losses, corresponding points will be deducted.
That would reduce the allocation of hot water, charging times, daily necessities, etc.
It would reduce the quality of life of such people.
Basic points are not allowed to be transferred; everyone can only bind them to themselves.
At first, everyone felt a little resentful in their hearts. The benefits that were originally available now needed to be distributed according to work, and they would always feel a little disadvantaged.
But the contribution points that followed effectively reduced this resentment.
Contribution points.
As the name suggests, they are extra points that can only be obtained by making contributions.
They are calculated separately from basic points.
They can be retained for a long time after being obtained.
And they can be given away and transferred, not limited to one's own use.
Contribution points can be exchanged for many good things!
The base listed some catalogs that can be exchanged.
They were full of dazzling things of all kinds.
Not to mention simple daily necessities.
1 contribution point can be exchanged for 5 packs of instant noodles, or other various snacks, or 3 bottles of beer and other drinks, or two packs of cigarettes, or varying amounts of various foods.
The few people who bravely went out to drive and deal with corpses earlier.
Were each given 1 contribution point today.
In more complex aspects, you can exchange for some things in a broad sense.
3 points can be used to apply for continuous electricity use of no more than 3 kWh per day for a month.
10 contribution points can be used to request a change of job, switching to an easier position that no one would refuse.
30 contribution points can be used to exchange for an independent residence with a bathroom and complete furniture, so you don't have to squeeze with others.
50 contribution points can be used to take in a person who has been approved by the base to enter Green Source. (Very useful, think for yourself)
They can even be used to trade with people.
You can post tasks and ask others to help you.
For example, ask combat team members to specifically look for something when they go out.
Of course, this cost is definitely huge.
The transaction of contribution points needs to be transferred or used under the notarization of the base, and the system is still being established.
Those who understand know that contribution points are privileges.
It is also a new form of currency.
Each contribution point needs to be approved by Qin Jin, and only with his signature can someone be designated to own it.
To prevent others from cheating.
At the same time, the exchange rate will also fluctuate. When the base develops and grows in the future, contribution points may be diluted or appreciated.
There will definitely be loopholes and opportunities to exploit, and they will be gradually improved later.
Those who are bold can also try the consequences of cheating.
Qin Jin will also control every contribution point, and will only sign and approve when the inventory allows.
Like combat teams that often go out to perform difficult tasks, they will definitely be better able to obtain contribution points.
Even an invention by technical talents like Dong Hui can earn a considerable number of points.
This move also stimulated the enthusiasm of many people to a certain extent.
After all, everyone has their own needs, and when there is a way to obtain needs, they have a direction to work towards.
Green Source is also developing towards a small social model.
Becoming more and more perfect.
At the same time, it also tells everyone that only useful people are needed here.
If you are disobedient and don't work, you may not even have food to eat.
After the new system was issued, Qin Jin asked the managers to pay attention to the feedback from the people below, and most of the feedback received was positive.
Indicating the smooth implementation of this system.
And no one dared to raise negative opinions.
So when the people of the base see various supplies being transported back, they will have a sense of satisfaction that they can also have the opportunity to obtain them through hard work.
As long as you work hard.
One day you will get contribution points and you can exchange them for what you need.
