Chapter 81.1: Team Fights and Auctions!
Chapter 81 Team Fights and Auctions!
The battle lasted less than twenty minutes, but it took a full hour to clean the battlefield.
Just like last time, it was still in accordance with the old rules that the captives, bounties, and trophies generated in collective battles were collectively owned by all players participating in the battle.
Among them, the captives were counted as 5 silver coins, and the dead were counted as 5 copper coins, which were included in the total post-war income. This would be equally divided between the players who participated in the battle and obeyed the command.
As for the loot, they were concentrated at the north gate for interested players to bid and buy.
The bidding method was very simple, similar to auctions.
First, the administrator would estimate a reserve price and a maximum price. Interested players would then bid the price in turn. In principle, the price increase would not be less than 1 copper coin each time, until no one increased the price or someone called the highest price.
As for why he set a maximum price?
The main reason was that Chu Guang was too kind, worrying that these players would get carried away and spend too many silver coins on rubbish which were not worth it.
If they were really interested, they could also directly call the highest price to complete the transaction.
If a piece of equipment was unsold without anyone bidding for it, it would be recycled by the shelter at a discount of the reserve price and then re-priced and sold in a weapon store or warehouse.
Malicious bidding would be punished by deducting contribution points and 10% of the quoted price.
All the benefits generated by the auction, after deducting 10% of the tax, would be all included in the total post-war income and shared equally by all players participating in the battle.
This could be regarded as a variant of the GKP system, which was available in many MMORPGs, especially when the output ratio was difficult to define.
Chu Guang modified it slightly and used it directly.
In addition, for outstanding performers in the battle, Chu Guang would give extra silver coins and contribution points.
However, the MVP of this battle was undoubtedly Chu Guang himself, who killed the squad leader with his hammer, which was obvious to all the players around.
By the way, because there was no suitable candidate, Chu Guang could only act as the auctioneer himself.
"This is a 16mm caliber shotgun. Since it is a shotgun, it is naturally not rifled. Its design is very unique, and the uniqueness lies in... its barrel being equipped with a shovel."
"Mhm, I guess it's for the convenience of digging foxholes? After all, the best body armor can't compare with the soil and sand around you. The price starts at 35 silver coins and the highest bid is 70 silver coins. If you are interested, please raise your hand and bid."
As soon as his voice fell, someone raised their hands.
"35!"
"35 silver coins plus 1 copper coin!"
"What the fuck! I'll add another copper coin!"
"Damn those trolls! I'll pay 40 silver coins!"
"40 silver coins plus 1 copper coin."
"%#@!"
In the end, this broken gun, which seemed to be useless and even without rifling, was sold for a "ridiculous price" of 47 silver and 5 copper coins.
Since the weapon shop did not have 16mm ammunition, the person who bought the gun may have to figure out a solution to this problem.
Otherwise, it really could only be used as a shovel.
Chu Guang then looked at the next weapon, a 5mm scorpion submachine gun wrapped in tape.
Unlike the standardized weapons produced by Boulder City, this gun was obviously modified with parts that have not been removed. The receiver was a bit like the semi-automatic receiver of a pistol with a piston. The front end of the barrel even showed the traces of being sawed.
The shortcomings were obvious, the ammunition capacity was low, although the rifling was there, the barrel was very short, so the trajectory dispersion could be imagined.
But the advantage was that the rate of fire was extremely fast, and the full-auto mode could empty a magazine in 2.5~3 seconds...
But is this an advantage?
Maybe it is for the rich players!
"This is a 5mm scorpion submachine gun. Its original owner is the squad leader of Bloodhand Clan. His name—Cha, is engraved on the grip of the gun."
"Most marauders have no educational background and can't come up with a good name. This guy's death was miserable, he died of the hammer of justice... Although his crimes are countless, I have to admit that his weapon is pretty good. This gun condenses his life's combat experience. It was made very light and quick, and does not have much recoil. Unless your body sequence is an intelligence type, there is basically no problem in holding it with one hand. The starting price is 50 silver, and the highest bid is 100 silver."
"70!"
"100!"
Chu Guang: "......?"
It was Mosquito who shouted the price of 100 silver coins.
Under the envious eyes of all the players, the invisible rich man took away the trophy with an expression that looked like he had just obtained a treasure.
Intuition told Chu Guang that this guy was not the kind of player who would rush on the front line, so the reason he bought this gun was a mystery.
In any case, Chu Guang sincerely wished that this player could use his intelligence and talent in a place that was useful to society.
Even if that world had nothing to do with him.
The pace of the auction was fast.
Due to the limit of the maximum price, basically one order would be traded in two minutes.
A total of 10 of the 12 guns were sold, of which 3 guns were sold at the highest price, and only 1 gun was sold at the starting price.
The remaining 2 were not sold. Chu Guang planned to hand them over to Xia Yan to modify them. He felt that the receivers and barrels could still be recycled. But if they really couldn't be used, then it couldn't be helped.
As for the long and short weapons and the defensive protective gear, they were all sold at the highest price of 3 silver coins and the lowest price of 1 silver coin. There was no need for auctions.
To Chu Guang's surprise, the trophy auction raised 631 silver coins, 100 more than his original estimate.
After deducting the 10% transaction tax, the final result was 567.9 silver.
Chu Guang rounded it down and generously distributed the 567 silver coins along with other rewards to all 67 players who participated in the battle.
After a battle, everyone was paid more than 10 silver coins. It could be said that everyone was happy.
Except for the captives on the gallows.
When they saw the blue coats, these marauders still had a hope in their hearts. After all, most of the blue coats were against the death penalty. So if they surrendered, they might survive.
However, this inherent experience clearly harmed them.
In order to make them a useful person to the society after death, Chu Guang would send their corpses into the Active Matter Extractor to extract the active matters needed to cultivate the clones.
They would only become useful people in this way...
