Chapter 127: Exchange |
After evaluating the exchange price required for the cards, the next step was to establish the standards for evaluating contribution points.
After a series of discussions, a simple plan was finally settled on.
That is, if a hunting target drops a card, eighty percent of the card's total value will be divided internally among the team members who participated in that hunt.
Qin Ziwen said, "After all, the risk of hunting beasts is still very high. Those participating in the hunt are frontline combat personnel. The risks on the front line are significant, and death is a constant possibility."
Yang Cunshen expressed agreement. "Where there is a heavy reward, there will be brave men. In the military, rewards and punishments must also be clear and fair, so that soldiers can fight bravely and kill the enemy."
The total value of the cards dropped this time was 55 contribution points. Eighty percent of that is 44 points.
Wang Yun said, "Captain, you provided the return route for that giant toad. You should take a larger share."
Yuan Ming quickly chimed in. "Yeah, Captain, you and Brother Du were the ones who shot out that toad's eye. If you hadn't blinded it in one eye, it wouldn't have jumped crookedly later. It was those last two arrows you shot that finally made it fall. You guys deserve the greatest credit. I think getting just a few contribution points is enough for me."
Qin Ziwen laughed. "I only provided the route. The specific ambush location was suggested by Yang Cunshen. The Molotov cocktail tactic was proposed by Doctor Wang, and he even provided thirty of them for free. How can we calculate it like that? Everyone on our team contributed to hunting that giant toad this time. Every single person was indispensable.
How about this: There are eight of us. Five times eight is forty. Everyone gets five contribution points. Then Wang Yun, Du Yu, Yang Cunshen, and I will each take an extra point. What does everyone think?"
Wang Yun smiled. "I think it's fine. Let's settle it like that."
Seeing that the two who contributed the most this time had no objections, everyone else silently accepted.
Yuan Ming felt somewhat ashamed, thinking he didn't deserve those five points. He decided that if he participated in a hunt next time, he would definitely perform well!
Deng Guang also said nothing. He just silently kept it in his heart.
Li Yue scratched his head. So he just got five contribution points like that?
According to the team's evaluation standards, the contribution points he earned this time were roughly equivalent to an ordinary Building Card.
Thinking of it that way, Li Yue was inwardly astonished.
Brother Qin is simply too generous! Only by following a boss like this does one have a future!
Qin Ziwen asked, "Does anyone want to exchange for cards?"
Yuan Ming shook his head. Having gotten contribution points without much effort, he was too embarrassed to pick a card first. He planned to let others choose first.
Li Yue also shook his head. He was alone and unattached. His contribution points were only enough to exchange for the Carpenter's Hut or the Orchard. Even if he got them, he wouldn't have the time to manage them.
It was better to just save the points.
Deng Guang had some thoughts about the Orchard, but after thinking about it, he quickly gave up the idea.
Because there simply wasn't any space at home to build an orchard! It was better to save contribution points and honestly exchange for an Expansion Card later.
Wang Yun looked at Qin Ziwen. "Captain, you exchange first."
Qin Ziwu shrugged. "Big brother, you can use my contribution points. I don't really want to exchange for anything."
Qin Ziwen looked at the Advanced Resource Card and the Building Enhancement Card.
There was no immediate need to exchange for ordinary cards.
Because the Daily Settlement was highly likely to give ordinary cards.
Instead, these two new types of cards he had never seen before made his heart stir a little.
But the Building Enhancement Card was too random. Qin Ziwen's target was still the Healing Spring.
He was still 8 contribution points short of exchanging for the Healing Spring.
Qin Ziwen said frankly, "I want to exchange for the Healing Spring, but I'm short some contribution points. I also don't have anything particular I want to exchange for."
Moreover, he had his own selfish motives. Even though these cards weren't exchanged for, all the cards were stored with him. After midnight tonight, wouldn't he be able to ride the wave of the Daily Settlement's benefits and take off directly!
Wang Yun was stunned, then chuckled. "Alright, you guys just keep being polite then. I want to exchange for that Level 1 Spring!"
"Okay." Qin Ziwen handed the Level 1 Spring card to Wang Yun.
Wang Yun took the card and carefully stored it away.
Afterwards, Wang Yun and the others went to experience the Celestial Star Arrow Gallery, exclaiming in wonder.
But Wang Yun still solemnly warned the others, "Everyone is part of the same team now. Absolutely do not talk about this carelessly outside, or brag about it. Otherwise, before Captain Qin even has to do anything, I'll be the first one who won't let you off!"
Before leaving, Wang Yun walked at the back of the group and said quietly to Qin Ziwen, "You're really something, willing to expose this building. But I've known Yuan Ming for four or five years. I can confirm his personality is exactly as it appears. He's a pretty genuine guy."
Qin Ziwen nodded. "I know. But if you use someone, don't doubt them; if you doubt someone, don't use them. Besides, you guys improving your archery skills sooner is beneficial for the team."
"Mmm..." Wang Yun nodded silently. "Alright, we're leaving then."
After leaving Qin Ziwen's home, Yuan Ming returned to his own house.
As soon as he got home, he saw the family from next door sitting in his living room chatting with his parents. Sitting beside them was the neighbor's daughter.
"Xiao Ming, what happened to your forehead?" Yuan Ming's mother stood up, walked over to Yuan Ming, and looked worriedly at the large swollen bump on her son's forehead.
At Qin Ziwen's place, they had already applied alcohol and iodine to the bump for disinfection.
Yuan Ming said dismissively, "It's nothing. I accidentally took a fall."
"How could this be from a fall! How could you fall and hit there? I've told you before, don't hang around with that guy surnamed Wang. Before, you even offended the Alliance. If it weren't for Uncle Zhang next door speaking up for you..." "Mom!" Yuan Ming interrupted his mother.
Yuan Ming said seriously, "I'm an adult now. I have my own thoughts. And now, I've joined a new team. This team is really good. I really like this group I'm with now."
Mother Yuan asked, "A new team? Is it from the Alliance?"
Yuan Ming hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "No. But the captain and the others are all very capable!"
Mother Yuan continued asking, "Then what about the game you harvested today?"
Yuan Ming was taken aback. The harvest? That giant toad was probably poisonous, and it had been doused in gasoline. The meat would reek and be completely inedible.
But he had gained five contribution points, roughly equivalent to a card!
But he couldn't talk about hunting the giant toad.
Seeing her son fall silent, Mother Yuan said, "You know, your dad and Uncle Zhang have been colleagues for over twenty years. Everyone knows each other's roots. Uncle Zhang also thinks highly of you. He's currently the captain of a hunting team in the Alliance. Wouldn't it be better for you to go to Uncle Zhang's side?"
"Mom! My current team is really good. Please don't pressure me, okay?" Yuan Ming said helplessly.
Zhang Liang, sitting on the sofa, chuckled and waved his hand. "It's fine. They're all young people. It's normal to have their own ideas. But Xiao Ming, your parents mean no harm. They're just thinking of your good and worried about your safety. Give it some more thought."
After saying this, Zhang Liang exchanged a few pleasantries with Yuan Ming's parents, then left with his daughter.
Before leaving, Zhang Zihan looked back at Yuan Ming, a flicker of confusion in her eyes. Her father's hunting team was so good, and he could even look out for him. Why wouldn't he go?
Back when they were studying, his grades weren't good. Now that they've crossed over to this place, he's still as dense as a block of wood. She didn't know what her father saw in him.
