Don't Starve, my items can be upgraded

Chapter 42: Encountering Migrating Nobles Again
Outside the shelter.

The area around the shelter is very safe because Jinlun has specially assigned people to patrol the area.

Peng Min found a lot of dry firewood around and returned to the open space in front of the shelter to start a fire.

Considering that she would need to cook soup later, after starting the fire, she found some stones and built a temporary stove.

The mountain wind outside was strong and cold, but Peng Min was in high spirits.

In the past they called it survival, but now, she felt like she was enjoying it and didn't care about the cold at all.

The people of the wilderness have strong resistance to cold.

While it would certainly be better to cook food over a fire inside the shelter, she was worried about burning it down.

It was so hard to find such a magical place to live that she was reluctant to even make it dirty, let alone make a fire in it.

Anyway, it won’t be so cold after the fire starts.

……

Inside the shelter.

Because the level of the rare arm guard is very high.

Yang Chen continuously inputted derivative Qi, and without using crystallized bone marrow, he worked for more than ten minutes, but he was unable to generate any data.

He was secretly surprised. It was the first time he encountered such a situation.

Because the Strange Item Shelter consumes a lot of energy, after the transformation was completed, there were only more than thirty pieces of crystallized bone marrow left, and he was reluctant to use them.

Anyway, his speed of producing derivative Qi is not slow now. He just needs to generate data for the strange arm guard, so he should not need to use crystallized bone marrow.

Sure enough, after a few more minutes, the data finally appeared on the arm guard.

But this data is completely different from previous items.

[Armguard (Sprite Core) lv.27: -0% (Wearing it and consuming spirit, it can release an air shield that lasts up to three seconds to block external attacks, with no cooldown time; if worn continuously for more than an hour, the armguard will be integrated into the flesh and blood, and continue to devour the spirit, spirit, and flesh and blood of the holder. During this period, the holder will continue to metalize until he turns into an armored spirit; continue to input derivative energy and fill up the progress bar, this item will be downgraded by three levels, erasing the remaining spirit's will, and deleting the cost of use; cannot be upgraded)]

It's level 27 at the beginning!
And the progress bar behind it is actually negative.

This is the first time I have seen this.

But what really surprised Yang Chen was not this.

"This... if worn for a long time, it will actually turn the holder into an armored monster?! "

Yang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

The cost of using this is a bit exaggerated.

No wonder they were willing to take out the golden wheel, because the horrible cost of using it greatly reduced the value of the rare object.

However, his ability seems a bit exaggerated. He can even delete the cost of using monsters and strange objects!

"The cost of using it should be the side effects. If these side effects disappear, this strange item will definitely be a treasure."

After all, the air shield has no cooldown time and its defensive power should be very strong.

Yang Chen secretly looked forward to it, and then continued to input derivative Qi into it.

However, he underestimated the level 27 item.

Even though it was only a level 16 nail gun, it would take him a long time to increase the progress bar by one percentage point.

Not to mention the level 27 rare item arm guard.

He worked for more than an hour and was so tired that he felt dizzy and dazed, but the progress bar of the magical arm guard didn't move even a single percentage point.

Just as he was hesitating whether to use the crystallized bone marrow, a few words suddenly appeared behind the data of the arm guard:

[The level of derivative gas is insufficient. 】

These words appeared and then slowly disappeared.

Yang Chen was stunned: "The level of evolution is insufficient? Is it because my evolution level is not enough?"

That's right. If calculated according to the level of the nail gun, the [Awakening Qi] derived from the nail gun's tenth level awakening state makes it a first-level evolver.

It is equivalent to one's own evolution level, which is on par with the nail gun, because the nail gun is the first item that one truly continuously strengthens.

The nail gun is now level 16, and I should be about level 16 as well, which is the middle to late stage of the first level.

But this arm guard is level twenty-seven.

If every ten levels is a grade, you have to be at least a second-level evolver before you can create derivative energy to strengthen this arm guard.

This is equivalent to the nail gun having to reach at least level 21.

"Whatever. It takes an hour of continuous wearing to cause side effects. Just take it off within an hour."

The most important thing is that I have the Ruyi Zhenkong Pearl, which can also be used for defense.

This results in the arm guard's usefulness being greatly reduced in one's own hands.

Yang Chen put away his arm guard with a bit of regret, and was about to continue strengthening his nail gun, when suddenly Peng Min called out from outside: “Yang Chen, it’s time to eat.”

"Ok."

Yang Chen immediately got up and went outside.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

The cold mountain wind howled, feeling like a knife scraping against my face.

The nearby bonfire dispelled the coldness of the ground and made people feel comfortable, but the smoke was blown everywhere by the mountain wind, which was a bit irritating to the eyes. Peng Min squatted beside the bonfire, looking at the burnt metal basin... the broth in the iron pot, and felt a little confused: "We don't seem to have chopsticks or bowls, what should we do?"

"Chopsticks and bowls? What are they for?"

Yang Chen, like most of the wasteland dwellers, had never used bowls and chopsticks to eat since he was a child.

He took the lid directly, held the iron pot and poured a little soup into the lid, put the lid to his mouth and took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Not bad, it tastes good."

Not only is it delicious, but it is also high in energy as the broth contains meat of wild birds.

He exclaimed in admiration and poured some more into the pot lid, then handed it to Peng Min.

"You still have a way." Peng Min happily took the lid of the pot and started drinking.

The two of them just changed the pot lids and drank the broth, clinking cups and shouting that it was so enjoyable, which made Jinlun and several other evolvers above level three who were not far away stunned.

But apart from them, no one else felt anything was wrong.

Even in Huzhou it is the same, almost all the barbarians eat like this and don’t have the time to be particular about it unless they have the conditions.

Seeing Yang Chen about to reach out to grab the meat from the pot, Jin Lun quickly called an ordinary person to bring bowls and chopsticks to the two of them, and also gave them a soup spoon.

The reason why they didn't let the evolvers go was because they were worried that Yang Chen would think they were there to laugh at a joke, so they gave Yang Chen enough face.

"My lords, Master Jinlun asked me to bring it to you."

After delivering the dishes and chopsticks, this ordinary man turned around and left. He didn't dare to look at the broth in the pot any longer. That was not something he could think about.

"They actually brought bowls and chopsticks, that's great." Peng Min took the bowls, chopsticks and spoon in surprise, and poured a bowl for Yang Chen.

"Is this a bowl and chopsticks? It's quite convenient, but it's only useful when drinking broth."

Under Peng Min's guidance, Yang Chen quickly learned how to use chopsticks, but he was still a little uncomfortable with it.

But since you have become an evolver and want to live a life of superiority, you have to learn some of the "etiquette" of being superior, starting with holding chopsticks.

"Salty broth... such a distant memory."

Peng Min drank the broth and said with emotion: "I drank a sip when I was very young, and I have long forgotten what it tasted like. I didn't expect it to be so delicious."

"We'll drink it every day from now on."

Yang Chen said proudly: “If you really can’t finish it, you can drink one bowl and pour another.”

"That's such a waste. If you can't finish it, you can cook less. This broth is full of energy and can fill your stomach." Peng Min said quickly.

Perhaps because she had just awakened, her body needed a lot of energy to drive its evolution, so every time she drank a sip of broth, she could feel her body slowly getting stronger.

As her body grew stronger, she could sense the special power in her body more clearly.

But she still couldn't control that power as she wished, and needed to explore it slowly.

"Pfft hahaha..."

Suddenly there was a loud laugh from a distance.

Yang Chen and the others turned their heads to look in confusion.

Then a young man in luxurious clothes and with frosted hair came striding down the mountain.

Behind the young man, there were another five to six hundred people, who seemed to be nobles from some safe zone.

Because that group of people were all holding lights, people on the mountain could clearly see their number even from a few hundred meters away.

"I am dying of laughter. Those two lowly people are actually discussing how to drink the rich broth..."

The young man laughed loudly: "Drinking one bowl and pouring out another, it's so funny, hahahahahaha..."

Behind the young man, many people also started laughing.

Those people were obviously evolvers, and their evolutionary levels should not be low, otherwise it would be impossible to hear their conversation from such a distance.

Yang Chen frowned slightly, secretly alert.

"Be careful." Peng Min reminded, because the scene looked familiar.

Yang Chen nodded.

Jinlun and others not far away also frowned slightly, disgust flashed in their eyes, and they all took defensive postures at the same time.

Because that group of people's route up the mountain was the same as theirs, if that group of people did not turn, they would definitely have a conflict with them.

As expected, the group of people showed no intention of turning around and continued to stride towards where they were stationed.

Upon seeing this, other nearby barbarians hurriedly moved away from here, not daring to block the way of the nobles in the safe zone.

Jinlun was also preparing to have people pack up and make way for that group of people. If it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to go to war with the nobles in the safe zone. The most important thing now was to get enough rest.

However, there were still hundreds of meters between them, and the young man just waved his hand.

A guard from the rear immediately came forward carrying a rocket launcher, seemingly ready to clear the way physically.

"Damn it!" Jinlun was furious and was about to defend himself.

“Yang Chen…” Peng Min’s expression changed.

Yang Chen raised his hand and fired a shot without hesitation.
