Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 131 The Digging Realm Booms
Late at night, the wind howled

At the entrance of the Daxia Valley cave, Xia Chuan and his hunting team of thirteen people came back from outside, exhausted.

"Xiachuan, three prey, why are there more and more?"

Luo Yuan, who was practicing boxing with his children outside the wooden house, saw the hunting team carrying three preys from afar, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

As long as the hunting team does not cross the 500-meter limit of Redwood Ridge, there is no need for Xia Hong to lead the team personally. His injuries have not healed yet, so only Xia Chuan and five other people at the Digging Realm will go out with the original eight people at the Logging Realm.

In the past half month, Xia Chuan had gone out four times, but each time he only brought back one or two prey. Tonight he brought back three in one go. It was obvious that his hunting skills were becoming more and more sophisticated.

While Luo Yuan was speaking, the young men in the reserve who had not yet broken through to the logging realm also stopped practicing boxing and turned to look at the hunting team, their eyes full of envy and admiration.

When the people in the hunting team heard Luo Yuan's praise, they all lowered their heads and chuckled a few times, then subconsciously turned their heads slightly to look at Huang Yong and Li Yun.

"Who told you to stop? Hurry up and continue practicing. You haven't broken through to the Woodcutter Realm for so long and you still want to be lazy. You're wasting your cold beast meat!"

Luo Yuan did not notice the subtle movements of the crowd. When he saw the reservists stopped, he immediately turned around and yelled at them.

Ho…ha…

The adults in the camp have basically made it through now, and most of the reserves are children in their teens.

Luo Yuan's stern attitude was obviously effective on them. Upon hearing the sound, they immediately started punching again.

"Luo Yuan, practice gently, don't hurt these guys."

"Hahaha, don't be afraid, just keep practicing like this. These brats ate the meat of the cold beast and are full of energy. How can they become useful if they don't practice?"

"Boys, your brother Luo can't go out hunting recently. He has no contribution points and is very angry. Don't mess with him."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Seeing this, the members of the hunting team started to make jokes.

Hearing Yuan Cheng teasing him, Luo Yuan couldn't help but respond with a smile.

"Go to hell, Yuan Cheng, my contribution value is three to four thousand. Even if you go out ten more times, you can't beat me."

"That's not necessarily true. I already have more than a thousand in my account. With two snow manes and a golden goat tonight, I can get at least a hundred points. I will soon break the two thousand mark. Wait, I will surpass you in a matter of minutes."

…………

"Okay, stop talking, let's go to the camp and hand in the prey!"

Seeing that everyone was talking more and more interestingly and seemed unable to stop, Xia Chuan couldn't help but interrupt.

The conversation between Luo Yuan and Yuan Cheng is a microcosm of the current atmosphere in the camp where everyone is keen on contribution points.

Mudong Workshop is constantly innovating and developing more and more types of wooden and animal hide tools.

Especially the hundreds of bows and arrows that have been added recently are very tempting to the loggers and diggers. Moreover, everyone can foresee that as the coal and iron resources in the camp become abundant, more and more weapons and iron tools will definitely appear in the camp supply center in the later stage.

All these things need to be exchanged for contribution points.

Contribution value is wealth in itself, and it can also quantify a person's contribution to the camp, so naturally everyone starts to compete with each other secretly.

The impact of this kind of comparison is that the enthusiasm of the loggers and diggers to go out has increased, and the motivation to grab resources for the camp has also become stronger.

Xia Chuan was naturally happy to see such an atmosphere. Wasn't the contribution value rules formulated for the purpose of this scene?

…………

On the second floor of the wooden house, the people leading the hunting team handed in their prey and registered the contribution points obtained by everyone. The others left one after another, and only Xia Chuan stayed there and looked up at the third floor.

"The leader still hasn't come down today?"

Shi Ping was in charge of registration at the camp. When Xia Chuan asked, he shook his head and replied, "No, but when I went to deliver the cold beast meat today, the leader was practicing boxing. From the sound, his leg injury should have completely healed. He didn't come down. I guess he just wanted to practice for a while longer."

Xia Chuan nodded and said softly, "That's fine. He usually takes us out hunting and takes care of a lot of things in the camp. Big brother doesn't have much time to practice. It would be good for him to concentrate on practicing for a while while he's injured."

Shi Ping nodded in agreement when he heard this, and a hint of respect rose in his eyes as he looked at the third floor.

Shi Ping was one of the ninety-six archers in the Lumberjack Realm. It can be said that Xia Hong was the decisive factor in successfully driving away the group of rats that night.

Not to mention Xia Hong's achievements alone, he was able to remain calm in the face of danger and rely on his great strength and wisdom to calmly force the Rat King to show up. This alone is enough to make Xia Hong the main contributor.

It is the greatest fortune for him and everyone else that Daxia has such a leader.

"From the fifteen people who showed up that night, the strength of the Mirror Fairy Camp must be strong. The leader must be under pressure. In the final analysis, it is because we are not strong enough to share the worries of the leader. If a few more Digging Realm masters could come out, the leader would not be so tired!"

Luo Yuan, who was downstairs, came upstairs at some point.

Xia Chuan frowned and said, "The strength of the Jingxian Camp is indeed strong, but that is no reason for them to be arrogant. They have occupied the Arrow Bamboo Forest, so long as they do not cross the border and everyone lives in peace, everything will be fine. If they dare to cross the border to Hongmu Ridge, the worst that can happen is..."

"Why, just fight them?"

A voice came from upstairs, interrupting Xia Chuan directly.

Hearing Xia Hong's voice, the three of them immediately looked up with joy on their faces.

Xia Hong was wearing a fur coat and a pair of black leather boots newly made by Mu Dong. He walked towards the three people with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, with a smile on his face.

When they saw Xia Hong for the first time, the three of them were slightly stunned.

It wasn’t about what he was wearing, nor about his leg injury having healed.

The main thing is that Xia Hong's body was emitting a kind of blood energy, as if his body was too full of blood and was overflowing. He also had a strong sense of power when he walked. When he approached, he brought a strong sense of oppression to the three people. "Brother, have you reached the limit of 30,000 kilograms?"

Xia Chuan asked somewhat uncertainly.

When Luo Yuan heard this, a look of anticipation immediately appeared on his face.

"Not yet, but we are only less than three thousand away."

It’s just less than 3,000 kilograms, which is more than 27,000 kilograms.

Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan both showed surprise on their faces;

Shi Ping, who had not yet broken through to the Digging Realm, showed deep admiration.

"Leader, your speed is too fast. It has been more than two months since I broke through the Digging Realm, and now my strength is only 14,000. On average, I only gain more than 1,000 pounds every month."

After Luo Yuan finished speaking, Xia Chuan immediately nodded and said, "I'm about the same as you. At the current rate, it will take at least another year to reach the 30,000-jin limit."

"No!"

Xia Hong shook his head and denied Xia Chuan's estimate, and said with a smile: "It won't take that long. I broke through to the Digging Realm about eight months ago, and my initial improvement speed was actually similar to yours.

Your bodies should have developed resistance to the meat of the three kinds of cold beasts, Snowmane, and so the rate of increase will slow down. Just switch to the meat of Tengjiao and Gnawing Rat, and you can do it directly!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan immediately shook their heads.

"Leader, let's keep the Teng Jiao and the gnat meat for you first. Our current increase is still there. We will use them when the reserves are larger."

As soon as Luo Yuan said this, Xia Hong immediately understood their concerns.

Some time ago, in order to make bows, Xia Hong hunted a lot of Tengjiao in one go. Together with the eighty-three gnats he harvested this time, the camp has stockpiled about 30,000 kilograms of Tengjiao and gnats meat, two types of cold beasts, so far.

Thirty thousand pounds seems like a lot.

But the problem is, he uses it a lot.

He now consumes 50 kilograms of meat a day. Counting the days, it has been almost 40 days since the first time he obtained the gnat meat. This means that he has consumed more than 2,000 kilograms of meat by himself.

The group of rats had been driven away, and they would certainly not be able to hunt any rats in a short period of time. Teng Jiao couldn't do without him leading the team, so Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan's intention should be to keep the meat of these two kinds of cold beasts for him to use as much as possible.

"No, I don't need that much for now. Just leave me 1500 kilograms per month based on my current usage. The rest will be open to everyone to exchange, but the price can be more expensive than the three types of Snow Mane."

The meat of cold beasts is not a scarce commodity for Daxia now, and even Tengjiao and gnat are no exception.

At worst, he could lead the team out hunting himself. Mice are hard to find, but catching dragons is easy, and they yield a lot of meat. As long as they catch a few occasionally, it will be enough for a long time.

As for the price setting, it is also simple. The hunting difficulty of Tengjiao and Xiaoshu is greater than that of the other three types of Xuezong. They are considered advanced cold beast meat. The contribution points required for exchange are a bit more expensive, which is also reasonable.

"Understood, Chief!"

Apart from going out, Xia Chuan's most important task now is to manage the supplies in the camp, including the contribution value and price corresponding to each supply. When he heard Xia Hong's proposal, he reacted quickly.

"By the way, Chief, I have some good news that I haven't told you yet!"

"What good news?"

Seeing Xia Chuan's mysterious attitude, Xia Hong immediately became interested.

Luo Yuan, who was standing by, obviously didn't know and turned to look at him.
"Huang Yong and Li Yun have already broken through to the Digging Realm. And as far as I know, Hong Gang, Li Pingkai, Ying Xuan, and Yue Feng are not far from breaking through. It will probably take less than ten days."

Xia Hong's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

Luo Yuan's mouth was also wide open, recalling the three prey Xia Chuan brought back tonight, and the performance of everyone when he just came back from the valley, and then he reacted and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing:
"I see. That's why I was wondering how you guys got so much tonight!"

There are two more people reaching the Digging Realm, and within the next ten days, four more people will break through in succession.

No, there should be more than four!

Huang Yong, Li Pingkai, and the four people that Xia Chuan said might break through are all members of the hunting team.

Except for the six people in the hunting team, namely Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, and the three brothers Zhao Long, the rest of the people started from almost the same starting line.

Since some people have started to break through, it means that it will be almost done.

"The explosive growth period of the Digging Realm should have arrived."

A hint of excitement flashed through Xia Hong's heart. All fifteen members of the hunting team broke through to the digging realm. Not only would the camp's strength experience a qualitative leap.

The key is that mining capacity will also increase exponentially.

He still had the teeth of eighty-three rats in his hand!

The teeth of two mice can make a rat chisel, and eighty-three makes forty-one.

There were fifteen diggers, each holding a toothed chisel.

The iron ore and coal production in that camp will be astonishingly high!

"During the hunting period later, the eight of you can go with me. The seven people who haven't broken through to the Digging Realm should stay in the camp and concentrate on training. Make the most of the time to break through."

"Yes, leader!"
