Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 100: Fifteen Thousand Jin
"In one month, Xia Chuan's weight increased from less than 7,000 to 8,000, an increase of more than 1,000 jin; Luo Yuan's weight increased from just over 8,000 to almost 9,000, an increase of more than 800; the three Zhao brothers also increased from more than 7,000 to 8,000, also about 800;

They eat at most eight kilograms of cold beast meat a day, and I have eaten as much as twenty to thirty kilograms of cold beast meat every day in the past month. This is basically the maximum amount of food I can eat. My strength should be higher than theirs!"

Xia Hong had a rough idea of ​​the increase in his strength, but he still had to test it to know the exact number.

He was of course aware of the crowd watching, but he didn't care. He just fiddled with the force measuring pile.

He placed a 10,000-jin pile at the bottom first, and then placed five 1,000-jin piles upwards. Xia Hong hesitated for a moment and added another one on top.

Xia Hong took a deep breath, squatted down, and hugged the bottom ten-thousand-jin pile with both hands. Then he shouted loudly and exerted force slowly at an extremely slow speed.

All the onlookers had already held their breath.

As Xia Hong stood up, the force measuring pile slowly rose from the ground.

Ten centimeters... twenty centimeters... half a meter... one meter...

Until the end, as Xia Hong stood up completely, the force measuring pile was still firmly held in his arms, and everyone's eyes showed a touch of respect.

boom…………

"Fifteen thousand kilograms. The limit should be able to increase by a few hundred. The increase during this period is not bad!"

Xia Hong smashed the force measuring pile directly to the ground, rubbed his almost exhausted arms, and a hint of joy rose in his eyes.

Previously, when he fought against Snow Mane who had transformed into a wooden man, his basic strength was more than 13,000. In just one month, his basic strength had increased by nearly 2,000, which was a huge improvement.

However, judging from the increase in strength, his improvement is obviously not as good as that of Xiachuan Luoyuan and others. The resources he consumed are two to three times as much as theirs, but the increase in strength has become slower. This also proves that the improvement of basic strength will definitely become more difficult as time goes on.

Fortunately, the supply of cold beast meat is no longer a problem. As long as the supply continues to increase steadily, the limit of 30,000 kilograms will be reached sooner or later.

"Luo Ming said before that the limit of the Digging Realm is 30,000 jin, but he didn't know how to improve his strength after reaching the limit. I have no idea how to break through the Cold Resistance Level that Yang Ning and Li Hu mentioned."

Xia Hong frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

Judging from the current increase, he is still far from reaching the limit of 30,000 jin. Even if he has no idea about the subsequent training methods, he does not need to worry about it for the time being.

There must be a way when you reach the mountain. When you reach the limit of 30,000 kilograms, at worst you can learn from Luo Ming and go through the bamboo forest and ask in the giant camp called Beehive.

After testing his own strength, Xia Hong turned around and found that almost all the onlookers were staring blankly at the force measuring piles on the ground, still standing there without dispersing.

"What are you looking at? Are you guys full of cold beast meat? If you want to become as strong as me, stop wasting time here and practice."

Hearing Xia Hong's joke, everyone burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, leader, we dare not compete with you. It would be great if we can quickly break through to the logging realm."

"I've been eating too much cold beast meat recently, and I feel a little full."

"I can't eat that much, give me some!"

"Hahahahahaha..."

…………

A few brave children followed Xia Hong's words and joked with each other, but after a burst of laughter, everyone quickly dispersed and began their own practice.

Looking at the crowd dispersing, Xia Hong felt a lot more relaxed.

Not to mention the comparison with the previous time on the slope, even compared with a month ago, the people in the camp now have obviously become more energetic and spirited.

Before, it was extremely difficult to find a smiling face among the people in the camp, let alone make a joke.

When survival becomes a problem, safety is not guaranteed, and there is no hope in the heart, it is impossible for people to relax.

The continuous distribution of cold beast meat has ignited the fire of hope in everyone's heart. At present, in Daxia, survival is not a worry, and safety is not 100% guaranteed.

But at least, these people have hope and a way forward. Walking back to the wooden house, the original location of the iron smelting furnace has moved more than ten meters to the left. Along the route of the iron smelting furnace, a two-meter-deep trench has appeared on the ground.

Luo Yuan, Xia Chuan, Zhao Long and Yuan Cheng, each holding a sheep-horn chisel, were digging in the ditch.

This ditch is intended to be used for piling for the new wooden house.

"One month, 15 meters. If we follow this pace, it will take four to five years to dig an 800-meter trench and drive piles..."

When Xia Hong thought about the 800-meter-long ditch, his eyes suddenly turned dark.

After the ground has been softened by burning coal in the iron smelting furnace, it can indeed be dug by the lumberjacks. But the problem is, firstly, the coal is limited, and it is impossible to burn coal for heating every day in the camp; secondly, there are only thirty-six lumberjacks in total, and they also have to cut wood and hunt, so it is impossible for them to dig ditches here every day.

So in the past month, Xia Hong could only let some of the lumberjacks take turns digging while the coal was burning.

During this period, he also tried digging by himself. He could dig without the ground being softened by coal stones, but no matter how good he was at digging alone, it was useless.

There are two ways to increase the speed of piling:

Either burn more coal and stone to increase the speed of softening the ground, and let more people in the Logging Realm participate in the digging. The difficulty lies in the coal and stone. Enough coal and stone need to be mined, which requires a large number of Digging Realm people.

Or just let the people in the Digging Realm to dig directly, without using coal stones to soften the ground. This also requires more people in the Digging Realm.

So, in the final analysis, the Digging Realm is still not enough!

This is an unanswerable question.

Xia Hong jumped down the ditch, snatched the tool from Luo Yuan's hand, and said:

"You go practice, I'll dig for a while!"

"Chief, I'm not tired. I can dig for a while longer. It's okay."

Luo Yuan, who didn't understand what was going on, thought Xia Hong felt sorry for him and wanted to take the tools back, but when he met Xia Hong's rejecting look, he had to give up.

Luo Yuan climbed out of the ditch and looked back to see Xia Hong digging for him. He was immediately touched and hurriedly seized the time to practice.

"I really can't hold on by myself! Boy, if you don't break through, neither coal nor iron will last much longer!"

Seeing that the coal and iron resources in the system were decreasing day by day, Xia Hong was probably more eager than himself to hope that Luo Yuan could break through to the Digging Realm.

The price of timber has risen wildly this month, but coal and iron are already in a state of expenditure exceeding revenue. If this continues, they will probably hit bottom in a few months.

The construction of a new wooden house is under preparation, and a lot of iron materials are about to be prepared. Mu Dong asks him to make things almost every day. In addition, a batch of carpentry tools were made for Mu Dong some time ago, so a lot of coal and iron have been used during this period.

His main task was to lead the hunting team. He could only find time to mine. The time he could spare was very limited, and the coal and iron ore he harvested was naturally very little and could not meet the consumption of the camp at all.

If Luo Yuan does not make a breakthrough before the coal and iron run out, he will have to reduce the number of times he goes out hunting and spend more time mining coal and iron.

Xia Hong sighed, stopped thinking about it, and concentrated on digging the ditch.

But after digging for a while, another reminder came to my mind:
[The decoction pot has automatically generated the recipe for Jinchuangsan based on the recorded items]

Hearing the prompt, Xia Hong's face immediately showed a hint of joy. He quickly put down the sheep-horn chisel in his hand, walked out of the ditch, and went towards the medicine decoction pot.

Walking to the medicine pot, Xia Hong saw Cheng Feng taking out a light blue plant from it. When he smelled the faint fragrance from the plant, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Captain, why are you here?"

Seeing Xia Hong coming, Cheng Feng was stunned. Noticing his eyes, he quickly handed the plant in his hand to him.
