Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

The residents on the ninth floor opened their doors simultaneously, and then a dense rain of crossbow bolts was unleashed.

Before the laughing monsters could react, they were all hit by arrows, and most of them lost their supplies on the spot.

However, some were together in groups of two or three, and because they shared the damage, they did not die immediately.

"Third squad, coordinate well! Those with defensive talents, immediately shield the front line! Those with strong combat abilities, kill the Smiling Nightmare at the entrance and go help the others immediately! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Damn! The Nightmare's defense is incredible today! It took a whole magazine of arrows to kill it!"

"Quick, quick! The guys over there aren't going to hold them off! Where's the second squad? Come help them out!"

"Eighth Squad, assemble quickly! After we take down these monsters, we still need to go downstairs to rescue our teammates!"

The residents' voices echoed in the hallway.

Aside from the initial incident where a homeowner was killed after several Laughing Beasts broke down his door, no one else died after the other residents banded together.

Moreover, because the residents were divided into multiple teams, each with its own team leader directing the counterattack, the battle became increasingly easier, and there were almost no injured people.

"good."

Chen An watched this scene through the monitor and showed a satisfied expression.

Managing the team in small groups was indeed more efficient than having Li Jia alone give orders and commands.

Moreover, although the residents do not have a particularly strong sense of belonging to the team, they do have a sense of belonging to their own small group and are willing to help out.

Because only by helping the team members will they be more likely to help him in the future if he encounters danger.

Over time, this mutual help will build an emotional foundation among them, making it easier for them to feel a sense of belonging.

This is human nature.

Humans are, after all, social animals.

As long as there is a stable social system, most people will subconsciously abide by it.

Of course, there are also lone wolves.

But very few.

For example, Zhao Jiahao, who lives across the street, is a lone wolf.

He has not yet joined Chen An's team.

So he could only fight Xiaoyan one-on-one, and was hit by Xiaoyan a few times, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

No one helped him, and he didn't ask anyone for help either.

"Honey, how was it? Aren't I awesome?"

The egret asked with a grin.

"Hmm, your team is pretty good, quite impressive."

Chen An did not hold back his praise.

Although I don't particularly like Bailu's personality, I have to admit that she is indeed capable.

To everyone's surprise, Bailu shook her head and said, "They weren't asking about the outside world; they were asking how skilled their hands are..."

"..."

Chen An swore he really wanted to kick the egret's ass a few times.

Does this fox really not know the meaning of the word "shame"?

Hearing this, Jiang Lai and Wang Ziyan and the other girls felt shy, but they couldn't help but steal glances at each other out of the corner of their eyes.

This made Chen An even more embarrassed.

So he could only pull the blanket over himself, then patted Bai Lu on the back of the head and changed the subject without changing his expression: "The contribution point currency system you proposed earlier is feasible, and it can also complement my idea of ​​saving gold coins."

"For example, if you deposit 13 gold coins here, you can get 1 gold coin interest and 5 contribution points every day."

Chen An originally intended to give 10 gold coins as interest.

But now that contribution points are being given away for free, the interest rate naturally has to be increased. After all, contribution points are also a form of currency and can be exchanged for resources, and he doesn't want to suffer a loss.

At the same time, giving away contribution points on this occasion is also to help residents get used to the existence of contribution points in advance.

Since the first payment is free, the residents certainly won't refuse.

Once they accept it, use it, and become dependent on it, then this monetary system is established!

"Only one gold coin of interest for 13 gold coins? That seems a bit high."

Bai Lu rubbed her slightly aching head and thought for a moment before saying, "Fifteen, I'll give you one gold coin in interest and five contribution points for every fifteen. After all, we also have to contribute. Just recording each resident's contribution point income and expenses requires someone to do it full-time; otherwise, Sister Jiang Lai alone can't handle it."

This is true.

They currently cannot issue paper money, so contribution points can only be recorded manually.

Jiang Lai was so busy browsing the trading platform every day that she had no time to record the residents' contribution points.

In fact, as the team grows and the number of contributions increases, it will be difficult for one person to keep track of them all.

After all, they currently only have two methods of recording: one is to add notes on the panel, and the other is to write it by hand.

This requires human resources.

And it can't be just anyone.

Information about currency must be kept in the hands of our own people.

Therefore, the only way to record this information is for the residents who join the room.

"Jiang Lai, you can set aside some time to plan the contribution point currency system, see how many people are needed, and also improve any areas that have been overlooked," Chen An instructed Jiang Lai.

This kind of thing takes a lot of time and effort, and he doesn't really want to waste time on it.

After all, he built his team so that he could live comfortably.

If I'm going to be treated like a beast of burden all day long, I might as well just stay alone and live a miserable life.

"Okay, I'll plan it out now. We can ask Wang Ziyan and Teacher Bai to help with the notes." Jiang Lai nodded in agreement, secretly delighted.

She originally wanted to demonstrate a value exceeding that of the egret.

If you can control the monetary system, then you have complete control over the economy of the room!

Apart from Chen An, everyone else who wants resources must get her permission.

Even if a white egret has power, it's just a piece of trash without money.

After all, Bai Lu's power was built on the backing of Chen An, a powerful figure.

The contribution point system she described also requires a large amount of resources to operate.

Now, besides Chen An, the only person in the room who can freely access animal supplies is Jiang Lai!

Thinking of this, Jiang Lai looked down at the egret with a smug expression.

You sly fox, you cheated on me and then you made sarcastic remarks about me.

If I cut off your resources in the future, you'll be begging me for help!

Bai Lu glanced at Jiang Lai, who was provoking her, and merely smiled slightly.

It seemed like they didn't take it seriously.

She turned to Chen An and said, "Honey, was the information about the fake humans you just sent me accurate? I'm thinking of taking the residents out to kill a bunch of fake humans after we've dealt with the Nightmare."

"Hmm, the fake humans aren't very strong, and their drop rate is higher than the faceless monsters, so we can kill them." Chen An nodded.

He was somewhat wary of the high-level imposters.

But there's no need to be afraid.

The fake man is only capable of being insidious; in terms of actual strength, he is actually inferior to the faceless monster.

Unless they can evolve and grow indefinitely, and their numbers become infinite.

But based on my experience from grinding monsters the past two days, that seems unlikely.

Like the faceless monster, after the residents cleaned up the area over the past two days, there are far fewer of them around the neighborhood, and they haven't reappeared.

Now, to find more faceless monsters, you need to go to the abandoned city.

There are also six-legged monsters, but their numbers have been significantly reduced after the previous day's encirclement and slaughter.

"Okay, we'll be clearing out the laughing ghosts on this floor soon. I'll now arrange for them to help out on other floors, and then we'll get ready to leave."

As Bai Lu spoke, he opened the panel and began issuing orders to each team leader.

She enjoyed the feeling of being in charge.

This is what power tastes like!
