Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 211 Daxia Holy Mark, Building Upgrade

Xia Hong first set his eyes on the Fiery Sun Cauldron in the center of the hall.

[Scorching Sun Cauldron (Level 3): It can significantly increase the temperature within a kilometer radius by burning coal. It can kill primary monsters and shock intermediate monsters. It is extremely attractive to cold beasts and can consume coal resources to smelt ironware.]

[Special function: Every time 50 units of wood resources are burned, a small torch can be generated, which can damage up to mid-level monsters and burn for half an hour;

Every time 200 units of wood are burned, one portion of fire oil will be generated. This oil is harmless to humans, but will ignite immediately upon contact with monsters, and is extremely lethal to monsters. 】

[Upgrade conditions: 20 wood, 10 coal, 50 iron]

Seeing the amazing upgrade resources at the end, Xia Hong couldn't help but shake his head in amazement.

The reason why he didn't upgrade the Fiery Sun Cauldron in the past six months was because the resources required were simply too many.

The last time it was upgraded was when the Jingxian Camp was merged. When Xia Hong saw the upgrade conditions, he almost cursed in his heart.

To upgrade from a level two iron smelting furnace to a level three Fiery Sun Cauldron, only 2000 wood and 5000 iron are needed; not only have the wood and iron resources required to upgrade the level three Fiery Sun Cauldron increased a hundredfold, but there is also an additional 10 coal.

20 tons of wood is not a big deal, but 50 tons of iron, according to the system conversion unit, is 500 million kilograms of iron ore, and 10 tons of coal is 200 million kilograms of coal stone.

It’s fortunate that this is the Daxia Camp. Even if it were a slightly more normal giant camp, it would be impossible to come up with so many resources.

Among the nine buildings in the system, the one with the greatest function is undoubtedly the Fiery Sun Cauldron.

This can also be seen from the function.

According to Xia Hong's current understanding, although the number of strange monsters is not large, their harm is far greater than that of cold beasts. Moreover, the current radiation range of the Fiery Sun Cauldron is not large, and it will not attract too many cold beasts from Redwood Ridge.

Of course, in the past six months, there have been more cases of birds accidentally entering the camp, like the one just now. But with the current strength of the Daxia Camp, they can basically be dealt with easily.

"As long as it's not a super-large scale, it won't be too difficult for Da Xia to deal with a normal cold beast tide with its current strength. Therefore, the first thing to upgrade must be the Fiery Sun Cauldron!"

Xia Hong made up his mind and no longer hesitated. With a slight movement of his mind, the number of system resources began to decrease immediately.

At the same time, the Fiery Sun Cauldron in the hall also emitted a fierce light.

"babble?"

"The Fiery Sun Cauldron has changed. It was the leader who did it."

"Of course, it happened several times."

"It's going to change, and the temperature rise range will definitely become larger again."

"Look, the light is gone."

………………

Most of the people in the hall were shocked when they noticed the changes in the Lieyang Cauldron. However, after explanations from Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng, Luo Yuan and others, they realized that it was Xia Hong who caused the noise. Their expressions immediately relaxed and became full of curiosity and anticipation.

Except for Jingxian and others, although the others have only joined the Daxia camp for half a year and have not seen Xia Hong upgrade the buildings with their own eyes, they have personally experienced the magic of the six buildings: the Fiery Sun Cauldron, the Forge, the Alchemy Workshop, the Martial Arts Hall, the Green Bamboo Fence, and the Notepad.

They had heard countless times from the older generation of people in Da Xia about the miraculous skills Xia Hong had performed, and now they were finally able to see it with their own eyes, so they were naturally looking forward to it.

Buzz…………

An ethereal voice sounded, and the light emitted by the Fiery Sun Cauldron finally disappeared. In the center of the hall, a four-legged square cauldron that was more majestic, solemn and powerful than before also came into view.

Unlike the previous three-legged round tripod, this square tripod was not black, but a light golden color. Its side length also increased to more than seven meters, occupying almost one-fifth of the hall's space.
Looking more closely, the patterns engraved on the four sides of the square tripod are all images of more than 20 kinds of cold beasts that Daxia has hunted so far.

Just as everyone was still looking at it carefully, something strange happened.

boom…………

A fierce flame suddenly burst out from the square tripod.

The front end of the flame was angular, as if it had transformed into a kind of cold beast that no one in the hall had ever seen before, and it pounced towards Xia Hong on the high platform of the hall with its fangs and claws.

"Brother, be careful!"

"Leader!"

"Leader..."

…………

More than a hundred people in the hall saw this sudden change and thought that Xia Hong was in danger. They all stood up instantly. In desperation, Xia Chuan even drew his sword and rushed to the platform.

"Don't panic, I'm fine, sit down!"

The cold beast transformed from the flames had horns like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a clam, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and ears like a cow. Others didn't recognize it, but how could Xia Hong not know it?

It was clearly a five-clawed dragon from the myths and legends of the previous life.

When the five-clawed dragon transformed from fire rushed to Xia Hong's face, it suddenly shrank into a wisp and flowed directly into his forehead.

laugh…………

The flames burned through the flesh, making a slight burning sound. Xia Hong frowned slightly, but soon a deep smile appeared on his face.

The panic expressions on the faces of everyone in the hall had not disappeared yet, but when the flame completely disappeared, when they looked at Xia Hong again, they all showed a look of surprise and emotion on their faces.

There were three vertical blood-red cloud patterns in the middle of Xia Hong's eyebrows.

The cloud pattern was blood red like fire, carrying an inexplicable sense of mystery and divinity, causing everyone in the hall to look at Xia Hong with an inexplicable admiration and fanaticism.

Not finished yet.

hiss…………

Suddenly, Xia Chuan and Yuwen Tao, who were in front of the crowd, covered their foreheads and took a breath, as if they were in pain.

Everyone turned their heads quickly and discovered that the same cloud patterns as Xia Hong's appeared between their eyebrows.

No, the cloud patterns of these two people are obviously much lighter in color.

How is this going?

Everyone's eyes were filled with surprise, and they turned to look curiously at Xia Hong above.

At this moment, Xia Hong was staring at the upgraded Lieyang Cauldron, his heart filled with excitement.

[Hanxu Ding (Level 4): Can burn coal to greatly increase the temperature within a five-kilometer radius, can kill primary monsters, and scare off mid- and high-level monsters, has a strong attraction to cold beasts, and can consume coal resources to smelt ironware.]

[Special function: Every time 100 units of wood resources are burned, a small torch can be generated, which can damage high-level monsters at most and burn for one hour;
Burning 400 units of wood will generate one portion of fire oil. This oil is harmless to humans, but will ignite when it touches monsters, and is extremely lethal to monsters.

All personnel in the camp can be transformed by the Hanxu Ding and acquire the hidden Daxia Holy Mark bloodline, with the host being the ancestor of the bloodline.

[Upgrade conditions: 1000 million coal, 5000 million iron, 1 silver]

Xia Hong simply ignored the last harsh upgrade condition, reached out and touched the vertical cloud pattern on his forehead, his eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

The Holy Mark of Daxia?

Bloodline?
The system did not describe this bloodline, and with his current strength, he was unable to directly sense the specific effects of this holy pattern.

He turned to look at Xia Chuan and Yuwen Tao in the hall, and seeing that they also looked confused, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking.

Even I don't know, so these two people definitely don't know either.

Since it is bloodline, it must be useful.

The key is that this bloodline can cover the entire camp, which means that in the future, as long as the people of Daxia live in the radiation range of Hanxu Ding for a long time, they can automatically acquire this bloodline. This is too terrifying!

20 wood, 10 coal, and 50 iron. These resources are definitely worth spending.

Xia Hong turned around and looked at the surprised faces of the people below. He pointed to the holy pattern on his forehead and explained with a smile: "Don't worry, this holy pattern will grow on everyone in my Great Xia Camp from now on. As for what its function is, you will have to wait for me to slowly discover it together!"

Everyone in Daxia will grow it?
Everyone in the hall was stunned. After looking at each other for a while, they looked at Xia Hong, Xia Chuan, and Yuwen Tao. Although they looked a little suspicious, they also felt a little expectant in their hearts.

The upgrade of Hanxu Ding is complete, the next step is...

Budokan (Level 3)
Upgrade conditions: 50 wood, 40 coal, 60 iron, 2 silver
Forge (Level 2)
Upgrade conditions: 10 wood, 20 coal, 60 iron

Alchemy Workshop (Level 2)
Upgrade conditions: 20 wood, 20 coal, 40 iron, 20 kinds of synthesis formulas

Notepad (Level 2)
Upgrade conditions: 8 coal, 6 iron
Bamboo Fence (Level 1)
Upgrade conditions: 10 coal, 10 iron (need to be exchanged after upgrading)
Daxia currently has no access to silver mine resources, so there is no chance of building a martial arts hall. There are enough resources to upgrade the pharmacy, but there are only 18 synthesis formulas at the moment, so there is no hope.

In other words, the buildings that can be upgraded at present are the forge, memo board, and bamboo fence. The total upgrade resources for these three buildings add up to 10 wood, 38 coal, and 76 iron.

【资源：木210万煤314万铁196万银0金0】

The system resources were more than sufficient, so Xia Hong no longer hesitated and upgraded directly.

…………

Equipment Refining Workshop (Level 3): A place for crafting equipment. It can forge weapons from ten to ten thousand forged weapons as well as ten-forged silver weapons. After upgrading, it can refine fifty furnaces at the same time.

Special functions: The probability of creating a weapon with beast-suppressing attributes is 1%; it can identify and distinguish various types of refining materials; and there is a probability of synthesizing new materials.

Upgrade conditions: 200 million coal, 300 million iron, 5 silver
…………

Monument to Heroes (Level 3): Mother monument, enclosure building, with a maximum radiation distance of ten kilometers.

Special function 1: You can exchange four sub-monuments for it, which will form a garrison area after establishing a connection with the mother monument. The exchange price of the sub-monuments is: 6 coal and 4 iron.

Special function 2: All activities of any alien life forms in the resident area will be detected and fed back to the mother monument.

Special function 3: The spirits of those who died in the camp will be placed on this monument. When it reaches a certain size, it can protect the living people in the camp.

Upgrade conditions: 80 million coal, 60 million iron, 3 silver
…………

Black Soil Wall (Level 2): ​​Station Protection Materials

Special function 1: Extremely tough, able to withstand the impact of mid-level cold beasts.

Special function 2: Can be slowly regenerated by consuming wood and iron resources.

Upgrade prerequisite: redeem 50,000 meters

Exchange cost: 100 per meter/wood, 20 per iron
………………

Looking at the three upgraded buildings, Xia Hong's face showed both surprise and worry.

The surprise is that the upgraded building, like the Hanxu Ding, has more powerful functions than ever before, which can be said to be a great help to the current Daxia.

When the grinding hammer was pointed out earlier, the building description said that it could forge a weapon with beast-suppressing properties. I don't know if it was Xia Hong's bad luck or Da Xia's bad luck. Even after upgrading to a forge, it hasn't produced a single weapon.

Now that it has been upgraded to a weapon refining workshop, it has directly given a 1% probability. In the future, for every 100 weapons forged, there will definitely be one with beast-suppressing attributes.

Needless to say, the Monument to Heroes is the place where the souls of those who died in battle are placed. When it reaches a certain size, it can protect the living people in the camp. Just thinking about this function is very powerful!
As for the last black soil wall, although it has lost the ability to actively attack the Green Bamboo Fence, it can still withstand the impact of a mid-level cold beast. This alone is enough to kill the Green Bamboo Fence in front in seconds.

Worrying is even easier!

The resources required for the next upgrade of these buildings are not only ridiculously large, but they also require silver mines.

The problem is, Daxia still doesn’t know what a silver mine looks like!

Xia Hong shook his head slightly and cast his gaze on the last black soil wall.

100 pieces of wood and 20 pieces of iron can be exchanged for one meter.

If all 500 meters are exchanged, that is, 100 million wood and million iron.

【资源：木200万煤276万铁120万银0金0】

I couldn’t even redeem it right away.

Looking at the remaining resources in the system, Xia Hong shook his head slightly.

This black soil wall has powerful defensive capabilities. Xia Hong must redeem it before leaving the camp. Fortunately, he is only lacking wood, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

The resources within the system can be extracted and materialized at will. There should be a lot of excess wood in the valley. Considering Daxia's current ability to obtain wood resources, 300 million is not too difficult.

"The valley has a unique terrain. If it is only for defense, 50,000 meters should not be enough. We can move out a part of it, use the yellow soil, and start trying to transplant useful vegetation. This will also save the logging department from going all the way to Hongmu Ridge and Wuyuan to collect fruits. In addition, the bamboo fibers of the arrow bamboo forest can also be transplanted to the front of the valley, which will make it easier to collect bamboo fibers..."

After the building upgrade was completed, Xia Hong began to toast with everyone in the hall. At the same time, he was thinking in his mind how to utilize the remaining resources.

Whether it was for his future training or to inquire about the news about gold and silver mines, this trip out was definitely necessary.

Therefore, it is natural to make sufficient preparations before departure.

Although the Cold Yuan Festival lasts for fifteen days, no grand banquet is allowed.

The resources consumed in hosting this grand banquet caused Qiu Peng, the director of the quartermaster department, to run to Xia Chuan every few days to complain. If two more banquets were held, he would probably have to curse.

Although the banquet was over, the festive atmosphere in the Daxia Valley continued for several days.

After the whole camp celebrated, it was the turn of each family to have a small reunion.

After the opening of the Wuyuan and Jinggu bases, many people from the hunting teams and logging departments went to the two bases and only came back once every few months. Naturally, they wanted to have a good reunion during this great festival.

This festive atmosphere lasted until the tenth day of the first lunar month.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, after nightfall, the people of Daxia discovered that the iron gate of the valley, which was originally expected to be closed until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, had been opened ahead of schedule.

Starting from that night, every night for the next three days, Xia Hong would lead the hunting and craftsman teams, a total of more than 2,000 people, out of the iron gate of the valley, and no one knew what they were busy with.

It was not until five days later, that is, the first day after the Cold Yuan Festival, on the sixteenth day of the first month of the second year of Daxia, that the people who walked out of the iron gate of the valley after half a month were surprised to find that a huge black earth wall had stood on the west side of the camp.

"Is this what the leader is busy with these days?"

"Hiss... This city wall must be ten meters high, right?"

"It's built along the mountain wall, almost reaching Redwood Ridge."

"What do you mean 'almost there'? The front section clearly extends into Redwood Ridge."

"It's true. Now that we're in Redwood Ridge, I heard that once all the land in the valley is sold out, if we want to build a house in the future, we'll have to go outside the valley."

"This city wall is so thick, come and see."

"Everyone, follow me. The city gate is on the west side. Come on."

"Let's go to the west. The city wall is over there."

"It seems the leader is here today too."

………………

The first people who saw the city wall were basically the lumberjacks in the camp. Such a magnificent city wall naturally made them marvel again and again. If Xia Chuan hadn't sent someone to lead the way, they probably wouldn't have been able to find the location of the city gate.
