Don't Starve, my items can be upgraded

Chapter 96: People from outside the district?
[Cage Fruit Tree lv.11: 0% (a fruit tree that matures once a year. Its fruit is a meat pig. When it matures and falls to the ground, it will become a spirit. Therefore, it is best not to let the fruit mature naturally. The higher the level, the better the taste and nutrition of the meat pig. The growth rate and fruiting speed are faster. Each fruit matures once a year, but the fruits do not grow at the same time.)]

The introduction has changed.

After level 11, the growth speed and fruiting speed of [Cage Fruit Tree] are increased.

Moreover, the original fruiting time should be fixed, and the maturity time should be almost the same.

But now, the time has become irregular.

It’s just that the ripening time for each fruit is fixed at one year.

And just after the [Cage Fruit Tree] reached level eleven, Yang Chen discovered——

Originally there was only one tip of the seedling sticking out of the ground, but it was now trembling slowly and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although the speed is still very slow, at least it is visible.

"The upgrade effect is stronger than I thought. It doesn't even need to adapt to the environment. It just starts growing."

He was secretly surprised that his ability was becoming more and more amazing.

Suddenly, Hu Erfang ran towards this side, but was stopped by an invisible barrier fifty meters away: "My lords, Erfang wants to see you for something."

"Let him come over. There must be something going on." Yang Chen said.

Peng Min immediately removed the space barrier.

Hu Erfang found that the barrier blocking the road had disappeared, and hurriedly ran towards this side.

"what's up?"

Yang Chen stood up, walked to the courtyard, and looked at the anxious Hu Erfang with a puzzled look on his face.

Judging from the other person's expression, it doesn't seem like he is in danger.

Hu Erfang came closer and was surprised at the building that was almost perfectly integrated with the environment. Then he quickly replied, "Sir, the steward Zhou Erming we met before wants to see you."

At this moment, he suddenly felt extremely fortunate and honored that he actually had the opportunity to follow such two powerful men.

These two seem to be one focusing on offense and the other on defense.

With the cooperation of the two, their fighting power was amazing. They had just arrived at Yinghu Oasis and easily killed a group of forces with fourth-level evolvers.

Even the previously arrogant manager Zhou Erming took the initiative to visit.

What's more, Manager Zhou Erming didn't come over directly, but asked him to report.

I’m afraid there aren’t many people in the entire Yinghu Oasis who receive such treatment?

"Will there be accountability?" Peng Min asked with a frown.

"It shouldn't be, otherwise they wouldn't have asked Tiger Erfang to report it, but would have directly brought people in."

Yang Chen said: “He also said before that if we have the ability, we can rob other people’s residences. This means that even if that guy didn’t take the initiative to attack, we can still rob them. As long as we don’t kill people for no reason, the alliance should not pursue it.”

At this point, he looked at Tiger Erfang: "Besides this matter, is there anything else?"

"We inquired about this a while ago and found out that there is actually a high-level evolver in Yinghu Oasis."

Hu Erfang quickly replied, "That high-level evolver is the lord of Yinghu Oasis. However, I heard that the lord is not often in the oasis and spends most of his time at the alliance headquarters. Most of the time, Zhou Erming is the manager of Yinghu Oasis."

"High-level evolver?"

Yang Chen’s heart trembled. To be called high-level, he must be at least a seventh-level evolver. He didn’t know if his nail gun could hurt him?

However, the prerequisite for my nail gun to hurt the target person is that I can aim at the target. I don’t know if my dynamic vision can keep up?
"Anything else?" he asked.

"There is one more thing, I wonder if the two adults are interested."

Hu Erfang said, "It is said that every month, people from other oases will come to trade for specialty resources, and during this period they will also trade various items with the locals. There are only five days left until the next transaction."

"trade?"

Yang Chen nodded: "Notify us when the time comes. Go and bring Manager Zhou Erming over, and tell him that it's inconvenient for us to move around."

He wasn't pretending to be a big shot, but the [Nepenthe Tree] had to be left unattended, lest it be damaged by creatures from Ying Lake.

As for him going to meet Zhou Erming alone and letting Peng Min stay here to protect the [Nepenthe Tree]?
Without Peng Min's spatial barrier, he didn't feel safe.

So Zhou Erming had to come by himself.

"Yes, my lord."

Hu Erfang quickly turned around and left, secretly admiring him in his heart, thinking that he was worthy of being an adult. He actually made the owner of the place come here on his own initiative. That was really awesome.

"Should we put these things away?" Peng Min asked, pointing at the ammunition boxes, guns and other supplies on the ground.

These were the spoils of war obtained by killing the blue-clothed evolver. Although the alliance would not care, if they were displayed openly like this, people who didn't know would think they were deliberately provoking the alliance.

“Put them all in the shelter.” Yang Chen said.

"Ok."

Peng Min immediately moved all his belongings into the shelter.

Yang Chen felt that he still had to free up some resources to upgrade the Ruyi Zhenkong Pearl, in order to avoid having too many supplies.

Although it is still safe here for the time being, no one can guarantee when we will have to move again.

With their strength, they will definitely obtain more and more supplies, and they will definitely need corresponding equipment.

Not long after, Hu Erfang brought Zhou Erming over.

"I hope you don't mind my interruption."

Zhou Erming first looked at the building that was almost completely integrated into the environment in surprise, then smiled and said: "Next Zhou Erming, I will be the manager of Yinghu Oasis. Actually, I am just a gatekeeper for the Oasis Master. After all, only the Oasis Master, who is a high-level evolver, can control such a fertile land."

While he reintroduced himself, he also brought up the Lord of the Continent, hoping that this would make this newcomer, who killed an entire family as soon as he arrived here, behave himself.

"Manager Zhou, you are too serious."

Yang Chen imitated the other person’s posture and bowed, and said: “I am Hu Che, and I brought my sister Hu Hu to seek refuge with you. It is us who need to rely on Manager Zhou, so how dare you be surprised? Manager Zhou should not blame us siblings for not knowing etiquette.”

He did not dare to use his real name. Although his fame might not have spread to this dark sandy land, the Kunwu clan was looking for him.

Now he has just known the tip of the iceberg of the clan's strength, but he still feels unable to fight against it, so it is better to be cautious.

Peng Min, who had just walked out of the shelter, glanced at Yang Chen and said nothing.

Hu Erfang's heart was moved. He knew the names of the two adults he was going to follow: "So the two adults are actually brother and sister?"

"So you are the Hu brothers and sisters. Brother Hu Che, you are joking. We are all barbarians. We don't care about etiquette."

Seeing that Yang Chen’s attitude was not bad, Zhou Erming maintained a smile and said, “I guess Brother Hu Che doesn’t want to listen to my nonsense. Brother Hu Che, do you know the origins of the Black Wind Clan?”

"I've heard of some."

Yang Chen said: “It is said that the ancestor of the Black Wind Clan was a mad scientist from the Prosperous Era?”

"It's easier for me to explain it now that you know this, but it's much more complicated than that."

Zhou Erming explained: "According to the information obtained by the top leaders of the alliance, the Black Wind Clan is likely to have been controlled by people from outside the region, because according to records, even the technology of the Prosperous Era is not enough to produce something like the Evolutionary Potion."

"Outside the district?" Yang Chen was puzzled.

Peng Min and Hu Erfang were also confused, and had heard of this term.

"I don't know the details either. I heard it from the Lord of the Continent."

Zhou Erming explained: "But I have heard from the Lord of the Continent that the people from the outside area are related to the great disaster in the past."

"Is it related to the great disaster in the past?!"

When these words came out, Yang Chen and the other two were shocked.

"What exactly was the great disaster in the past?" Yang Chen asked again.

He had asked Huyan Lingxi this question before, but Huyan Lingxi didn't seem to know the answer either.

"Perhaps the Lord of the Continent knows this question."

Zhou Erming said: "In short, the Black Wind Clan is an enemy of all of us. In theory, they are also enemies of the clan. It's ridiculous that those clans are still exchanging favors with the Black Wind Clan. They don't even know when they were betrayed."

He didn't believe that the clans were unaware of this.

But those clans didn't seem to take it seriously at all.

At this time, Peng Min asked: "You said that the technology of the Prosperous Era is not enough to produce evolution potions. Could it be that the evolution potions of other clans were passed down from the Black Wind Clan?"

"It's very likely. Anyway, the evolution potion of our alliance was made by taking samples from the Black Wind Clan."

Zhou Erming said, "Don't think that my alliance used despicable means. We are all barren people, so I don't need to explain too much. But there is one thing I think needs to be explained. Those evolutionary potions are the product of countless people in the Black Wind Sand Land who were disemboweled and sliced ​​for research."

"Then what? Manager Zhou, we are already evolvers, and we awakened naturally. This has nothing to do with it. Whether we can use the evolution potion in the future is a matter for a long time to come."

Yang Chen asked, “Manager Zhou, please stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point.”

"This matter is closely related to what I am about to say."

Zhou Erming said: "According to the information we received from the alliance, the Black Wind Clan's evolution potion probably did not achieve a 100% success rate. After the Black Wind Clan developed the evolution potion, they did not stop there. They have been capturing people for experiments over the years. They probably want to develop a perfect evolution potion, and all of us are experimental materials."
