By the time the group arrived at the villa, the sun was already setting, casting an orange glow over the earth.
After gathering Yuan Tang and Yuan Cai, they began to take stock of the spoils.
Fortunately, Susie's living room was large enough to accommodate everyone. Xu Xing was the first to sit down at the huge round table in the center of the dining room.
First, they sent away the survivors who had followed them, as well as the college students under Zhao Jie's command.
"You guys familiarize yourselves with the surroundings first, and I'll assign you tasks later," Xu Xing said, waving his hand in instruction.
Those people were in twos and threes, all with excited expressions on their faces.
Of course, ever since I crossed the gate and saw how quiet and tidy this place was, I couldn't help but feel a sense of scorn for the three people who had left.
Moreover, these clusters of villas will likely become their future residences.
“Before the apocalypse, we never had the chance to come to a place like this. I never thought we'd be able to live here after the apocalypse.” One of the people who walked out tilted his head and looked around.
"Yes, yes, look at the outside. I reckon if I went out of this gate, I wouldn't survive more than three minutes. It's much better here."
I've also heard that as long as we obey, we can get enough to eat. The other person was very pragmatic; living and having enough to eat were his biggest concerns right now.
These two people shared the same wish as the survivors who were rescued.
Sending them here is a way of stabilizing morale.
Inside the restaurant, a group of people with superpowers sat in a row, waiting for Xu Xing, who was seated at the head of the table, to speak.
"Everyone, let's show off what we've gained today." Xu Xing looked at everyone with a smile, toying with the level-three mutated crystal core that belonged to the Flower Pig in his hand.
Bai Ling, nestled in Su Xixi's arms on the right, stared intently at the crystal core, her eyes filled with longing.
Su Xixi stroked Bai Ling's fur with a hint of complaint, "Let me go first. I got a total of 150 level-one crystal cores and two level-two crystal cores."
Susie was quite satisfied. She took a small bag from her waist, placed it heavily on the table, and pushed it to Xu Xing.
"So, are you satisfied this time?" Su Xixi winked playfully at Xu Xing.
Bai Ling scratched at Su Qianqian's ample breasts in annoyance and said telepathically, "What are you doing? You've worked for nothing this time, you might as well give it to me."
Xu Xing used his telekinesis to create a flick on Bai Ling's head, then retracted the ribbon.
He weighed it in his hand for a moment, nodded, and controlled a long string of dark red crystals to fly out from inside, including two of the largest ones.
It glittered under the villa's enormous chandelier.
"These are one hundred crystal cores, including the two level two ones. The remaining fifty-two will be used as a warehouse."
Xu Xing used his mental power to compress a long string of crystal cores into a small, natural hole in the middle, placed the two largest ones in the center, and strung them together with a black rope to form a dark red necklace.
Then he put the necklace around her neck.
It felt cool and refreshing, and at the same time, it had a strange power that slowly emanated, which could enhance Su Xixi's physique invisibly.
Su Xixi touched it and smiled happily, without any intention of asking about the remaining crystal cores. Clearly, in Su Xixi's heart, hers also belonged to Xu Xing.
However, Xu Xing grabbed the cloth bag and spread out the remaining crystal cores one by one, saying, "These remaining ones will definitely not leave you at a loss."
Everyone listened attentively with curiosity, each lost in their own thoughts.
"I plan to introduce a system similar to 'currency' into our faction, which is contribution points!"
As soon as Xu Xing finished speaking, Ye Kai quickly asked, "Boss, what are contribution points? Aren't we doing just fine now?"
Xu Xing shook his head. "It looks fine now, but once our power expands, this system of sharing resources will become a big problem."
Seeing that everyone still looked puzzled, Xu Xing continued to explain: "Contribution points, as the name suggests, are determined by the degree of an individual's contribution."
For example, if Sisi submitted about fifty level-one crystal cores this time, then her contribution points would be fifty.
"What can you do with fifty points?" Su Xixi asked with great curiosity.
"Now, every contribution point can be exchanged for ten catties of grain, and similarly, one contribution point can also be exchanged for one crystal core."
To earn one contribution point, eleven catties of grain are needed, and the losses are the storage costs.
Vegetables, meat, and fruit can be redeemed for three jin, two jin, and one jin respectively, based on each contribution point.
If you convert it into contribution points, you can add one-tenth to the original amount.
Of course, the price will change depending on the rarity of the item.
After Xu Xing finished speaking, almost everyone was speechless.
Because once this measure is implemented, everyone present will be separated by a huge gap in a short period of time, since it will no longer be an equal distribution, but rather based on individual strength.
Xu Xing explained with a smile: "Of course, there are still differences for veteran employees. Ye Kai and Qianqian will automatically receive 20 contribution points each every day."
Yuan Tang and Yuan Cai, along with the Wang brothers, receive ten contribution points daily, while the rest receive five, including Jiang Shiyu and Xia Tiantian who are present.
Sure enough, this measure immediately calmed everyone down.
After Zhao Jie nodded, he still asked Xu Xing, "What should we do with those ordinary people?"
Xu Xing's fingers rubbed the table as he spoke the result he had been thinking about for a long time: "For ordinary people, as long as they are from our faction, they can receive 0.1 contribution points every two days, and can accumulate enough for one in twenty days."
That should be enough to keep them from starving. Then, I, and you all, can assign tasks like cleaning, moving things, and cooking.
The rest is up to fate.
Xu Xing believes that as long as reforms are implemented, even the enthusiasm of ordinary people will be stimulated.
Even three to five people might try to hunt some zombies. With a handy weapon, ordinary people can still kill some zombies that have no intelligence.
In the future, as the number of members increases, the benefits of contribution points will become increasingly apparent.
After Xu Xing explained the situation clearly, he asked for everyone's opinion, and the result was that everyone agreed.
Unlike the old days when everyone ate from the same pot, people are more motivated to work independently, since no one wants to admit they are inferior to others.
Only Yuan Tang and Jiang Shiyu were somewhat distressed, but Xu Xing still specifically pointed out that functional characters like Yuan Tang and Yuan Cai would earn more contribution points.
For example, if someone wants you to cook for them, you can charge them a portion of contribution points as payment. Of course, you must prioritize supplying me with these dishes, and you will receive an extra five contribution points per day.
As for Jiang Shiyu, that's all we can do for now. Her role will only become apparent in the future, but Xu Xing will take extra care of her during this process.
Xu Xing spent a considerable amount of time, but finally managed to go through everything.
