It would be fine if it just quietly increased their workload, but it was this kind of dirty work! Especially the few people who were assigned to this job, all said: I’m really impressed by you guys! In the end, it was Su Mo who noticed their emotions, stepped in to mediate, and assigned the work back to the logistics team, thus calming the storm that had not yet arisen. The logistics team had no objection either. After all, it was they who really did it, so it was their responsibility to take full responsibility. Besides, who can blame them for having more free time? If the people in the production team refused the job, they could say that they were too busy with other things, but they had no reason to refuse. While they were busy, Su Mo was not idle either. He is trying to build an economic system... a prototype. This is very necessary. Although according to the contract, they have already accepted him as their master, and he can control everything about them.
But the necessary system still needs to be in place. Otherwise, let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the distribution of supplies. If there was no economic system, Su Mo would be annoyed to death if everyone asked him for anything. With an economic system, we can directly set the prices for materials and let them buy whatever they want. This is very convenient. So he arranged a work point mechanism and made a magic card that temporarily only had digital recording and increase and decrease functions, so that the two hundred people would record their work points on the card. then…… You need work points to buy meals, you need work points to buy snacks, you need work points to buy a mirror, you need work points to buy cosmetics, and you need work points to buy entertainment supplies. In short, apart from resettlement housing, basic supplies, and free water and electricity, work points are required everywhere, and if you don't work you won't even have food to eat. Of course, Su Mo’s purpose in doing this was not to exploit them. This is just a test of the economic system, and Su Mo also asked them to actively reflect the shortcomings of the mechanism. They had no complaints and thought it was reasonable. I don’t have any stupid ideas like I can just stop working and enjoy life in this new world. In other words, isn't this kind of stable life exactly what they want? Besides, the work in the Dimension City is actually not that tiring. Su Mo gave them magical powers, which not only enhanced their labor force but also greatly reduced their labor burden. A lot of work actually only requires them to wave their hands. It doesn't require much physical effort, it's mainly mental effort. However, there is some dissatisfaction as they all feel that the food expenses are too expensive. There is no way. Except for a few meats, the food in the Dimension City is almost entirely enhanced ingredients.
For the enhanced ingredients, Su Mo naturally couldn't set the price too cheaply. This led to the fact that they all felt that the food charges in the public cafeteria run by Alice Nakiri were too expensive. In fact, considering the work points they earned, the food charges were really not expensive. It's just that when you compare it to other things, it seems expensive. For example, snacks. The snacks currently available in the Dimension City are basically ordinary products looted from the Apocalypse World. The price Su Mo set for them was less than one percent of a meal on average. Even if you exchange a bunch of these snacks, your work points card will only be reduced by a few tenths. But how much should be deducted for a meal? An average of five work points. The pile of snacks is enough for one person to eat for several days, but there is only one meal in the cafeteria. Although they also know that the meals in the cafeteria are made with enhanced ingredients that are considered treasures from the outside world. But they seem very common in the dimensional city! Once you get used to it, looking at their prices again, you can't help but feel that they are very expensive. Another thing is that their current salaries are quite low. In order to prevent inflation from getting out of control, Su Mo only paid them a daily wage ranging from fifty to two hundred yuan. Those who have the easiest job in the logistics team only get 50 work points a day. For example, several leaders and people with relevant abilities in the infrastructure group, as well as several senior engineers and scientists in the production group, all get 200 work points a day. But at present, only a minority of people get a lot, while most people only get around 70 or 80 work points. My goodness, this situation made many of them dream about returning to the electronics factory. Two to three tenths of a day’s income would be spent on food alone! But everything else is fine. The main reason is that the supplies were looted and the cost is low, so Su Mo did not set the price too high. In addition, electricity is not yet available and many things are still unusable, so this salary is enough and no matter how much more, I won’t be able to spend it anyway. Su Mo thought about the issues they raised and decided not to change the prices of the food. Instead, they took action on snacks and supplies! For the cheap snacks he collected, he directly limited the daily consumption per person and asked the production team to quickly produce a batch of snacks using fortified ingredients. The price of most snacks on the market has increased to an average of one work point.
The same operation applies to supplies. Limit the purchase, and then replace them with those produced in the Dimension City to raise the market price. After his meal, they finally didn't think the food was expensive anymore. Then I began to feel that Su Mo was somewhat inhuman! However, they didn't think Su Mo's behavior was unreasonable. After all, these things are produced by themselves. If the price is not high, wouldn’t it be a waste of their labor? Besides, Su Mo didn't make any money from it, so they couldn't find any fault with it. Oh, they do charge for food, because now all the food in the Dimension City belongs to Su Mo. But...isn't this the way it should be?! All in all, Su Mo managed to overcome the first wave of difficulties in this economic system test. However, there is another major problem facing Su Mo. That is, they will have more and more work points! This is not a good sign. Not only may it trigger inflation, it may also cause currency distrust. Once the currency loses credibility, the work-point economic system will collapse. So he needed to allow them to spend more of their work points. Otherwise, we can only reduce wages or even reduce work. But Su Mo would definitely not do this kind of reversing behavior. So, Su Mo took action again. What he wants to target this time is resettlement housing. He directly announced that he would charge a minimum rent starting from next month, which was not much, just 300 work points. However, in this way, the resettlement housing will directly become low-rent housing. This operation caught the new residents off guard and caused a huge reaction. The main reason is that people are used to small-amount consumption in their daily lives, and now suddenly there is an additional high consumption that they will have to spend continuously in the future, which makes many people feel a little painful. But if you calm down and think about it, it’s actually not that bad. After all, it's only ten work points a day, and the minimum wage is fifty. The rent is not even as much as a day's food expenses. So I accepted it. · ·········Request flowers···· ·
At this time, the power plant and water plant also began to be put into use. Su Mo announced that it would be free this month, but it would still be charged next month. But it was still not much, and there was no mechanism to increase the price after a certain amount of usage, which made it easy for them to accept it. Su Mo turned around again and found that there was nothing left to charge him for. Seeing that they still had a large portion of their disposable salary left, he decided to hold back for the time being and then give them the full amount later. Because the agreed expedition time has arrived. Before I knew it, the agreed ten days had passed. Su Mo asked Chieko and Qin Yu to look after the house and arranged some work plans for them. He picked up two large boxes and came to Orario through the dimensional gate. On this side, Kanae and the other three were ready to go. "Let's go." Su Mo didn't say anything and took them out. Along the way, Su Mo's reappearance also attracted the attention of the adventurers. But this time, they all knew what Su Mo was going to do, so they didn't talk about it so much. When they arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, a large group of Loki's followers were already waiting there, doing the final inventory. "Sir Su Mo, you are finally here." Seeing Su Mo and his team arriving, Finn greeted them warmly. Su Mo also smiled and exchanged a few polite words with him, then he saw Livilia on the side, looking at him quietly. Just as Su Mo felt a little embarrassed, after all, he took advantage of others last time. But when Livilia noticed that he was looking at her, she turned away hurriedly, not daring to look him in the eye. "..." Su Mo raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise. .... .... .... But he didn't say anything. Finn didn't pay attention to the interaction between the two people. He looked at the two boxes in Su Mo's hands. "This can't be..." Su Mo nodded: "Yes, but are you sure you want to watch it here?" "Forget it, let's talk about it after we go down."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Finn went back to take care of other things. At this time, Diona came over and greeted Su Mo with the same energy. "Hey, long time no see, little brother Su Mo, how have you been lately?" "Tiona, long time no see. I'm doing fine. Everything is good. How about you?" Su Mo also responded with a smile. As the two were chatting, Chun came over. "Mr. Su Mo, long time no see."
