#334 - The gameplay of the Beggars' Gang surprises players, Wang Hanzhe competes with Xinshengh
The game popped up a notification:
【You have gathered enough affinity with companions to create your own gang.】
Wang Hanzhe thought for a moment and entered "New Peach Blossom Spring" in the name box.
The audience in the live stream laughed: "Is the streamer becoming a hardcore fan of Peach Blossom Spring? Even your gang is simping for them?"
Wang Hanzhe said, "Brothers, since our club is recruiting, we can't have a shabby front, right?"
After that, he asked a soul painter to create a recruitment poster.
The poster had an eye-catching title at the top: "Create a Paradise Together, Wander Hand in Hand!"
Below the title, the various benefits of the "New Peach Blossom Spring" Beggar Gang were listed:
【Safety Benefits】

……
Seeing the last line, the audience in the live stream couldn't hold back anymore:
"Damn, second tombstone half price? What a dark joke..."
"You guys are actually pretty nice."
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter."
After the gang was established, a holographic gang management interface appeared in front of Wang Hanzhe.
In the 【Base Holographic Map】 interface, Wang Hanzhe could modify the facilities around the gang's base, such as adding walls, fences, and new defensive weapons.
In the 【Hobo Management】 interface, Wang Hanzhe could assign hobos to perform various tasks such as defense, collection, begging, and patrolling.
After Wang Hanzhe's research, he discovered that all the hobos under his command could be divided into three categories:
【Reconnaissance Hobo】: Can help scout out enemy situations and scout out the treasure chest output of various communities.
【Combat Hobo】: Can skillfully use dog-beating stick techniques, hand-to-hand combat skills, and can operate rapid-firing crossbows, earthen cannons, and other ranged weapons.
【Logistics Hobo】: Can clean, cook, and go out to beg for extra food for the team.
After opening the character details page, each hobo will display specific ability tendencies, as well as health, satiety, and SAN value.
Wang Hanzhe: "I'm familiar with this, brothers. Just like the logistics bases in many mobile games, we have to assign the right operators to the right positions to maximize benefits."
After that, he found a 【Citywide Resource Distribution Map】 in the management interface.
After opening it, the treasure chest output and occupation status of various communities in Linji City were displayed very intuitively. The top three communities in terms of output are as follows:
【Shengde Community】
Controlling Force: Xin Shenghe
Total Value of Treasure Chest Output: 850 yuan/day
Featured Output: Discarded copper items
【Jiahua Community】
Controlling Force: Xin Yi Wu
Total Value of Treasure Chest Output: 790 yuan/day
Featured Output: Edible, high-nutrition takeout food
【Jinxiu Nianhua Community】
Controlling Force: Xin Shenghe
Total Value of Treasure Chest Output: 710 yuan/day
Featured Output: Old appliances that can be recycled
In addition to the 【Community Force Map】, you can also view the city's 【Business District Information】 in the resource map.
The top 3 business districts in Linji City are as follows:
【Hengda Commercial Plaza】
Restaurants that produce leftover food: KFC, Ajisen Ramen, Saizeriya Italian Restaurant.
Scavenging Output: High-quality aluminum cans, discarded tote bags, discarded flyers.
【University Town Food Street】
Restaurants that produce leftover food: Northeast BBQ Skewers, Shandong Pork Dumplings, Little Sheep Hot Pot.

【Rongxing Snack Street】
Restaurants that produce leftover food: Chongqing Chicken Pot, Spicy Hot Pot, Braised Chicken Rice.
Scavenging Output: Old cardboard boxes, mineral water bottles, recyclable takeout boxes.
……
After pondering the gang development system, Wang Hanzhe understood:
"Brothers, I understand. In fact, this game is all about resource scheduling and circulation in the later stages.
So, this game tests the player's resource allocation and management skills as the gang leader."
Someone in the live stream replied: "Streamer, please explain in detail. I just got here and haven't figured it out after thinking about it for a long time."
Wang Hanzhe explained in detail:
"First of all, what is our goal of fleeing to the ends of the earth?
Of course, it's to make money and strive to successfully go ashore!
So, making as many communities as possible our own sphere of influence is the top priority.
Don't underestimate a community that only produces a few hundred yuan a day, but there are hundreds of communities in the entire Linji City!
If we monopolize the city's waste recycling business, then we will be rich and prosperous in the near future.
But!
If you want to conquer territory and kill other beggar gangs, you need to develop your own strength.
The first step is to absorb new hobos, cultivate combat power, and the facilities of the Beggar Gang's headquarters must be complete so that we can defend our home.
All of this requires a decent Beggar Gang headquarters.
And if the Beggar Gang's headquarters wants to develop, it needs money and other waste resources, so as the gang leader, you must plan the resource cycle well!"
At this time, a player in the live stream asked curiously:
"I understand this, it's just a cycle of 'seizing communities → increasing funds → developing headquarters → expanding gang → seizing new communities', right?
But what's the use of those small restaurants in the food street?"
Wang Hanzhe said seriously:
"Don't underestimate the food street, thinking that they only provide leftovers. In fact, the food street has a big role!
First of all, without those restaurants, the gang would have to spend money every day to buy food for all the hobos.
Hundreds of people's rations every day, this is a lot of money!
Moreover, in the early stages of development, when funds are short, they will eat very unhealthily, basically all noodles, pickled mustard tuber, starch sausages... and cannot form combat power at all.
But!
If you beg for food well, the food street can provide nutritious and delicious free food!"
Another audience member replied in the live stream:
"I understand the principle, but every time I send out hobos, they can't beg for any food and I have to support them. I can't maintain it at all."
Wang Hanzhe:
"Begging for food is also a science!
It's not just about sending a hobo to beg. There are many details worth studying here.
For example, my subordinate 'Tie Niu' is from Dongshan Province. If I let him go to a dumpling restaurant opened by a fellow Dongshan villager to beg for dumplings, the success rate will be much higher than that of people from other regions! Because he speaks with a Dongshan accent.
There is no fixed routine for this. It all depends on the characteristics of the hobos in your hand and assigning them accordingly."
The audience exclaimed:
"The streamer is awesome, as expected of a gaming UP! You've enlightened us!"
"Damn, even a small Beggar Gang system can be designed with so many gameplay and strategic depths by Peach Blossom Spring?"
"As expected of the game company I've always supported. The game planning is awesome!"
In the next few days of game time, Wang Hanzhe has been developing the gang.
He sent the romantic scholar to serve as the gang's military advisor, strategizing and planning the route to invade the territory.
He sent Tie Niu as the vanguard general to go out to conquer territory and carry out sneak attacks in the weak communities of Xin Shenghe.
He sent the庖丁sword master to serve as the logistics supervisor, in charge of food begging affairs in the food street, and to prepare the daily meals for the hobos.
Of course, the role of the soul painter is also very important, because Wang Hanzhe accidentally discovered that the various shameful illustrations this kid painted on the wall can actually restore SAN value!
So, he directly asked him to paint various erotic beauty patterns in the rooms of the various members of the headquarters.
……
After a week of development in game time, the power of New Peach Blossom Spring became stronger and stronger, gradually developing to more than 50 hobos.
On this day, the romantic scholar reported to Wang Hanzhe:
"Gang leader, after our scouts' reconnaissance these past few days, I think we can take down Beautiful Time Community as the first step."
The scholar pointed to the old map on the wall:
"Beautiful Time Community is a community in the suburbs of Linji City, very close to the headquarters of New Peach Blossom Spring. It can be attacked and defended.
The newest novel is first published on the 69shu.com吧!
Moreover, this community is mostly rented by young people from other places, and the cardboard boxes, takeout boxes, and beverage bottles are quite lucrative.
The total daily output of the community's treasure chests is more than 500 yuan!
Although it can't compare with those luxurious communities in the top few, it's enough as the first step for New Peach Blossom Spring to start."
Wang Hanzhe turned to everyone:
"What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other. After all, Xin Shenghe is the largest beggar gang in the entire Linji City. Many hobos within New Peach Blossom Spring have also witnessed their power, so everyone hesitated.
At this moment, Tie Niu stood up, waving the tetanus axe in his hand, and roared at the gang members:
"Why are you all being cowards? Are you still men?"
He turned to Wang Hanzhe again:
"As long as brother gives the word, I, Tie Niu, am willing to take the lead and take the head of the other gang leader from among the ten thousand troops!"
Wang Hanzhe was waiting for the other party's words. He smashed the cup as a signal:
"Okay! I will appoint you as the vanguard to help me take this place... Of course, there's no need for head-taking."
……
At midnight the next day, moonlight filtered through the sparse clouds, sprinkling into the Beautiful Time Community.
Some members of Xin Shenghe gathered in the center square of the community.
They held various bricks, broken beer bottles, and broken iron pipes, and like usual, ended their armed patrol of the community's trash cans, counting the spoils of war.
One of the hobos complimented the scar-faced man at the head:
"Brother Wang, the harvest tonight is good. It is estimated that it can be sold for 550 yuan, enough to buy several boxes of cigarettes!"
The scar-faced man scolded with a smile:
"All you know is cigarettes. Look at your potential! As long as you follow the boss, what won't you have in the future?"
"Then... can I have women too? I've been craving women for a long time, hehehe..."
"Of course! And of a high standard! At least this level of beauty."
The scar-faced man picked and chose from the garbage pile and picked out a small glass ornament of an ancient beauty.
The hobo's eyes went straight:
"Goodness, that's really high! Although it's not as good as Madam Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu, I'm very satisfied."
Suddenly, a steel ball shot out from the darkness and directly hit the ornament. Glass shards were all over the ground.
"Who?"
The scar-faced man roared.
Wang Hanzhe led more than twenty gang members of New Peach Blossom Spring and walked out of the darkness mightily.
The hobos all looked fierce, holding handmade slingshots, whips made of old wires, homemade gunpowder firecrackers...
And the warrior with a stubbly beard at the head was holding a tetanus axe in both hands.
The scar-faced man's face tightened:
"Friend, this is Xin Shenghe's territory. Please leave now, so as not to hurt the harmony."
Wang Hanzhe sneered:
"What I'm hitting is Xin Shenghe! Go back and tell your boss that from today onwards, this community belongs to our New Peach Blossom Spring."
The scar-faced man frowned. There were only ten brothers on his side.
But if they retreated in such a dejected manner, Xin Shenghe's prestige in the hobo circle was destined to be damaged!
If they called the other two groups of people from the two adjacent communities, they could gather more than thirty people, and the situation could be reversed.
Fight!
He made up his mind, took out a firework rocket, and fired it into the night sky:
"One arrow pierces the clouds, thousands of troops come to meet!"
Whoosh!
In order to delay time, Xin Shenghe started the classic pre-war trash-talking session, with both sides using oral gymnastics to greet each other's family members.
Tie Niu was annoyed and roared:
"Damn it, we've been scolding for so long, are we going to fight or not? And that little weakling on the opposite side, you're the one jumping the most. Do you dare to reveal your real name?"
The hobo next to the scar-faced man pulled his neck:
"Say my name and you'll be scared!"
The audience went crazy with laughter: "Hahahaha, are you also General Lingling?"
Wang Hanzhe shook his head, stopped talking nonsense, and raised his hand:
"The whole army attacks, crush these little trash!"
……
After the battle started, roars resounded through the night sky, and the faces of the members on both sides looked ferocious in the moonlight.
The residents of nearby communities were so frightened that they closed their windows tightly and huddled at home, shivering.
Xin Shenghe had rich experience in team battles and decided to strike first. Bricks flew over, broken beer bottles sparkled, and broken iron pipes made harsh roars.
However, the members of New Peach Blossom Spring did not retreat. Tie Niu stood as a barrier, withstanding the enemy's fierce attacks.
Behind him, nameless hobos fought back with slingshots, and the slingshots quickly shattered the opponent's beer bottles.
Wang Hanzhe followed closely behind Tie Niu, wielding a whip made of twisted old electrical wire, lashing out at Scarface.
啪! 啪! 啪!
The whip struck the enemy, leaving bloody welts in its wake.
The VR haptic gloves provided realistic physical feedback, fueling Wang Hanzhe's excitement:
"Let's see how you like being bullied by me in the early game!"
The battle intensified, a chaotic melee erupting between the two sides.
The New Peach Garden members, with their numerical advantage, fought with remarkable coordination, covering each other and gradually pushing back the enemy.
However, just as they were about to encircle and annihilate Scarface's group, an unexpected turn of events occurred!
From the main north-south road of the residential area, two more groups of New Shenghe members emerged—reinforcements from nearby neighborhoods had arrived.
They attacked from both the north and south, bolstering the morale of the surrounded Scarface and his men, who launched a fierce counterattack!
In an instant, the New Peach Garden members found themselves on the defensive, forced into a corner of a residential building.
Scarface touched the bruise on his arm and said grimly:
"Beg for mercy, and I might leave you with a whole corpse."
Wang Hanzhe sneered: "Think you're the only ones who can call for backup?"
He, too, pulled out a large firecracker and lit it—
砰!
With the sound of the explosion, two new groups of fighters emerged from the east and west sides of the alleyway.
Chef Swordsman led 15 men, each wielding rusty cleavers, charging towards the left flank of New Shenghe.
Many New Shenghe members were forced to raise their iron bars to parry, the cleavers clashing against the bars, creating intense sparks in the darkness.
Windy Scholar led 15 men, each holding lit firecrackers, attacking the right flank of New Shenghe.
As the firecrackers exploded in the crowd, many of the New Shenghe's homeless members, before they could even throw their bricks, were frightened into dropping them and scattering in all directions.
These two unexpected forces caught New Shenghe in a pincer movement, completely disrupting their formation!
Ultimately, Scarface and his men could not withstand the fierce onslaught of New Peach Garden and retreated in disarray!
Game Notification:
[Congratulations on gaining control of 'Beautiful Times Residential Area']
The live stream chat exploded with exclamations:
"Whoa, is this what gang warfare in the game is like? Awesome!"
"Indeed, the combat action design is amazing, and the detailed graphics are incredibly realistic. It's like watching a live-action Yakuza movie!"
"And it really tests the leader's ability to strategize and deploy troops. Is this actually a sandbox simulation game?"
"The pacing of the battle sequences is also well-handled, with every shot filled with tension!"
"The Peach Garden Kaiwu Engine is truly amazing!"
After the battle, the New Peach Garden gang members cheered and celebrated their victory.
Windy Scholar laughed:
"Our 'mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind' strategy today was all thanks to the boss. From the start, the boss wanted to lure out the enemies from the other two neighborhoods and eliminate them all at once, removing any future threats."
Tie Niu admired:
"Boss, I never expected you to be so... using a screen window to wipe your butt—leaving a little shit behind (a little trick)!"
Chef Swordsman also admired:
"Yeah, Boss, you're like a fart in a quilt—both cultured (smelly) and capable (stuffy)!"
Wang Hanzhe was dumbfounded. Is this the auspicious language you guys have been burning the midnight oil to learn these days?
He helplessly rubbed his forehead: "You've learned it well, but don't learn it anymore."
