After a full thousand newbie players from the third beta test poured in, Wasteland Camp's outer defenses finally stabilized for the time being.
After all, whether they were new or veteran players, they all needed to do quests to earn that meager pocket money—contribution points. They really couldn't do without them!
And by now, there were not many resources left around the camp, making contribution points increasingly difficult to farm. If players did not want to explore farther afield and be unable to return for days, or waste several days for nothing, then accepting patrol missions for various areas around the camp and eliminating the assorted Chaos monsters and troublesome Demons spreading toward it naturally became one of their few remaining options.
This was because the patrol missions issued by camp commander Gao Lanlan could still earn them ten or twenty contribution points over half a day even if they encountered no enemies at all. And if they ran into Demons or other Chaos monsters, killing them would earn additional rewards based on the monsters' strength.
For example, if they encountered relatively easy monsters such as Chaos natives, Chaos cultists, or Chaos Spawn, they would receive an additional contribution reward of one to ten points after killing them.
If they ran into low-ranking Demons such as Flesh Hounds or Bloodletters, successfully killing one would earn at least one hundred to two hundred contribution points. Elite Demons were even more lucrative, with each kill worth at least several hundred contribution points.
And if they were lucky enough to encounter a Daemon Prince or Greater Demon intending to attack the camp, that would be even more incredible!
The players definitely could not defeat them, but as long as they reported them promptly—that was, submitted the quest—they could claim thousands of contribution points
