The training ground was a little different from what Liu Gan had imagined. The zombies had chains around their necks and were tied to wooden stakes. The new players stood at a safe distance with wooden sticks in hand. On the one hand, you can feel the terror of these zombies, on the other hand, you can also find ways to attack their necks and other vital parts when the zombies stretch out their hands.
These zombies are captured by high-level players from outside and placed in the training ground. If a new player wants to gain experience points by killing them, they must pay a certain number of reward points.
Zombie catchers can get twenty reward points for catching a zombie and returning it to the training ground, but new players who kill a zombie need to pay forty reward points for it.
Generally speaking, new players cannot get too many reward points. They either use their belongings to exchange for reward points with the official website, or they do some service work in the community such as cleaning, washing clothes, cooking, and being on duty. Exchange for reward points.
Of course, certain transactions can also be conducted between players, such as completing some tasks and providing some services for a certain player in exchange for reward points from another player. There are many cases of female players using their bodies to exchange reward points with male players, and this is officially allowed, but the transaction must be done at a designated location.
In the event of a dispute arising from a transaction that does not occur at a designated location, in most cases the female player's statement will prevail, and the male player will be punished under the review of the Council of Elders, which reflects the protection of vulnerable groups.
Along the way, Liu Qian even saw some new players standing at the intersection, begging for reward points from the old players who passed by. Some of the lucky ones actually got some. It must be said that a real small society has been formed here and is functioning normally.
"Can I walk around by myself now?" Liu Gan asked Kong Mu.
"It's best for you to follow us and act collectively, which will be beneficial to your future development here." Kong Mu looked hesitant.
"But I still want to get familiar with the situation here before deciding whether to stay here." Liu Qian had a very insistent expression.
"In this case... then you can move freely." Kong Mu was a little unhappy, but he agreed in the end. Every player who entered the Novice Village had never said that they wanted to leave, and Liu Gan had nothing to consider before staying. It made him feel incredible.
Liu Gan asked Han Guangming and the others to stay at the training ground and continue to pretend to be newcomers. He took Yinhe, Li Dingxiang and Nana to wander around the Agricultural College. In addition to the Agricultural College, there are several other large colleges nearby, all of which are now connected together to form the territory of Novice Village.
Because of the novice mission system and reward system, many basic things are done by people. The construction of the entire community looks good. There are many signboards and even maps at any intersection. Indicates the direction to each area.
Some signs point to a certain road, some point to the training ground, some point to the canteen, classrooms, etc. But what interested Liu Qian was a sign for a trading market, pointing to the largest trading market in Novice Village. It should be a place in the community where players trade items they don’t need with each other in exchange for some items they need.
The trading market is a bit far away. It is at the junction of several universities. It was probably a comprehensive trading market before the disaster.
After arriving at the trading market, Liu Gan discovered that the most traded items here were not food or daily necessities, but zombies. Some zombies had their arms, legs, and even teeth broken off.
Needless to say, this is the place where experience points are sold in the market. Compared to the training ground, a newcomer needs forty reward points to kill a zombie captured by an experienced player. But the zombies here only cost around thirty. If there is a price difference, there will be a market, which is very attractive to new players who are afraid to go outside to hunt zombies but want to upgrade themselves.
The only trading items in the market are zombies. The second most traded items were living people, most of whom were women, locked in iron cages.
None of them had watches on their wrists, so it goes without saying that they were local survivors who were captured by outgoing players and sold as items.
The live sellers were divided into several areas. Li Dingxiang wanted to find her sister and went into one of the largest areas. Liu Qian asked Yinhe to take her there, while he went to another relatively small area. After entering, he stopped in front of an iron cage.
In the iron cage, there is a woman.
"Is this guy interested in one? One-time buyout. You can have as much fun as you want in the future. You don't need to go to the red light district to do business." A merchant saw Liu Qian coming and greeted him.
"Buy me! I'm good at housework, and other aspects... I'll definitely satisfy you... "
The survivor woman in the iron cage also used the iron bars to vigorously promote herself to Liu Qian, looking at Liu Qian with a begging look on her face. She was a woman in her twenties, wearing only a few clothes. Shivering in the cold wind.
This can also be regarded as a marketing method by the merchants. Some sympathetic players can't see these people being so miserable, so they may make an impulse purchase.
The other women in the iron cage also worked very hard to sell themselves to Liu Gan, and some even took off the few clothes and pants they had on, hoping to stimulate Liu Gan's desire to buy.
The Novice Village protects the players to the extreme, but for these local survivors, they are completely treated like tools and items. Survivors can only be the private property of players. Players have complete decision-making power over their own private property. Except for not allowing killing, the Elder Council does not care about other things.
If a player has multiple survivor slaves under his command, he can even become a small slave owner without having to do much work. Just relying on the reward points earned by these slaves for himself, he can get a very good life in the Novice Village.
Therefore, if these players have the opportunity, they will actively go out to capture local survivors and capture them as their slaves. Those elders with higher rankings in the Presbyterian Church even kept a dozen or even dozens of male and female slaves in their private houses, leading a life of slave owners with no worries about food and clothing.
Liu Qian couldn't help but frowned when he saw this scene. Although he was not a Virgin or a savior, he still couldn't accept it when he saw living people being locked up in iron cages and sold like this.
