Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 215: Can’t you get it by arguing?

After two years in the Hive, although Luo Ming has not obtained the status of an elite, his life is not bad. Not only has he got an independent residence in the main area of ​​the Hive, but the eleven people who came here with him also live with him.

After leaving the Beehive main building, Luo Ming and Shang Ping walked back home in silence.

"Father, Uncle Ping, you are back!"

When he saw his youngest son Luo Cheng, a smile immediately appeared on Luo Ming's face.

The ten-year-old Luo Cheng was already as strong as a calf. He was wearing a thick coarse cloth suit, which was better than what Luo Ming and Shang Ping wore. In addition, he was holding a ten-forged knife in his hand. It was obvious that he was having a very comfortable time in the beehive.

"Father, Uncle Ping, my basic strength is already 4,800. I estimate that in a few days, I will be able to break through to the logging realm!"

Hearing Luo Cheng's words, Luo Ming immediately rushed forward, grabbed his arm, and after squeezing it for a while, the smile on his face suddenly became more intense.

"Okay, okay, the beast meat I gave you recently was not in vain. Keep working hard and strive to break through the woodcutting realm before you turn eleven. Then your marriage with the Duan family will be more secure."

When he heard about the marriage, Luo Cheng subconsciously showed a hint of resistance, but when he saw his father's excited look, he forced a smile and nodded.

Shang Ping, who was standing by, noticed the resistance on Luo Cheng's face, but he didn't say much. He stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, go in and play first. I have something to talk to your father about."

Luo Cheng nodded and walked into the inner room. Luo Ming seemed to have some premonition, and took Shang Ping to the main hall of the house, sat down and said directly: "You want to ask why I didn't take Hong Yu into the team, right?"

Shang Ping nodded first, then sighed and said, "I know that Big Brother is afraid of Cheng Ping, but he is new here. If we don't accept him, other teams will be even less willing to accept him. Now he has gone to the iron mine. With Cheng Ping's vengeful nature, he will definitely cause trouble for him in disguise. We don't know what will happen then. If we do this and Yue Feng finds out, will it be difficult to explain?"

Hearing the last sentence, Luo Ming frowned, but soon his face returned to normal and he said, "It's true that Hong Yu has some strength, but he is just a sickly person with a stubborn temper. He offended Cheng Ping as soon as he came. It is definitely not a good thing for us to accept him. When Yue Feng asked us for help, he said that we only need to bring him into the hive, and the rest is up to him. Even if he knew, it's hard to say anything."

Shang Ping heard this, remembered what Yue Feng said before, and nodded slightly.

"Brother, where is Hong Yu?"

Luo Ming was about to speak when Li Baihe's face suddenly became full of joy. He rushed in from outside the door and asked about Hong Yu's whereabouts.

Shang Ping immediately stepped forward and told him what had happened before, including how he had offended Cheng Ping when he entered the door, and how Luo Ming did not accept him into the team and let him be exiled to the iron ore area...

The more Li Baihe listened, the uglier his expression became. When Shang Ping finished speaking, he immediately shouted at Luo Ming, "Brother, how could you do this?"

Luo Ming frowned, looked up at Li Baihe, and did not speak for a long time.

Luo Ming had already expected Li Baihe's reaction.

Among the three Digging Realms brought to the Hive, Li Baihe had the deepest feelings for Hongmu Ridge. He even proposed several times to return to Hongmu Ridge.

Upon learning that Jinggu had returned to Daxia, and that Daxia was now much stronger than before and could even trade with the Hive on an equal footing, Li Baihe was the happiest person. Li Baihe was also aware of Yue Feng's request for Luo Ming's help, which was why he was so happy when he brought Hong Yu back just now.

It was normal for Li Baihe to be so angry when he learned that Luo Ming did not accept Hong Yu into the team in order to avoid enmity with Cheng Ping and let him be exiled to the iron mine.

"Hong Yu is a patient, and a very sick one. Who knows what crazy things he will do to survive? He has offended Cheng Ping so much. It will not do us any good to accept him, so I can't..."

"Benefits, benefits. Do we have to have benefits before we can do anything?"

Li Baihe suddenly interrupted Luo Ming and continued with a disappointed look:
"When you took us out hunting in Redwood Ridge, you always said that if you don't fight hard, you won't be able to survive in the Ice Abyss. If you are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, you won't be able to do anything well. Have you forgotten it?"

Hearing this, Luo Ming was stunned.

"If you want to talk about benefits, then let's talk about benefits. This Hong Yu was sent by Yue Feng himself. He can get Yue Feng to help, so his status in Da Xia must not be too low. Big brother, can't you see that this Hong Yu is the best opportunity for us to re-establish contact with Da Xia? In the future, maybe with his help, our group can return to Hongmu Ridge."

Li Baihe became increasingly emotional and continued, "Let's not talk about the benefits, and let's not consider Yue Feng's face. Even if we consider that Hong Yu came from Hongmuling like us, we shouldn't let him be exiled to the iron mine. If Yue Feng and the people of Daxia find out about this, how can we go back to Hongmuling in the future?"

Luo Ming's face gradually turned ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Bai He, don't act on impulse. We are only one step away from becoming elites and having a firm foothold in the Hive Camp. There is no need to offend Cheng Ping at this time."

"Elite elite, big brother, haven't you figured out that the so-called elite system in the Beehive Camp is simply a way for the Chen family to raise slaves?

Cheng Ping is just being arrogant in front of us. Doesn't his sister have to be Chen Yingba's concubine? Those elite families are all guard dogs of the Chen family. They think of ways to send women to the two brothers and flatter them all day long. Such rubbish, how can they be called elites? Bah..."

Seeing Li Baihe's voice getting louder and louder, Shang Ping was terrified and hurried to close the door. He was about to ask Li Baihe to speak more quietly, but he continued to speak.

"Do you really think that if you let Cheng'er marry into the Duan family, Duan Xing will help persuade the other seven families to jointly recommend you? Don't be naive. Last year and the year before, among the three elites, wasn't one of them a descendant of one of those elite families?
Even if it's a marriage alliance, they will have to wait one or two generations before giving the qualification for promotion. You should know in your heart that even if Cheng'er marries into the Duan family, he will have to work diligently for them for at least ten years before he has a chance to be promoted, right?"

Luo Ming's silence is the best proof of Li Baihe's words.

Shang Ping, who was standing aside, opened his mouth but in the end said nothing.

What Li Baihe said was cruel, but it was an indisputable fact.

"Besides, the woman sent by the Duan family to arrange a marriage obviously looks down on Cheng'er and us. Have you asked Cheng'er if he is willing to marry her? Even if such a marriage is arranged, we will still have to bow our heads in the end. Why is it so necessary?"

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Hearing Luo Ming's question, Li Baihe looked him straight in the eye and said:

"Brother, you should know that the Beehive is not a good place. Not to mention compared with Daxia, except for its strength, it is not even as good as our Rogue Camp. If we stay here, the best outcome for us is to become slaves of the Chen family. Returning to Hongmu Ridge and Daxia is our best way out!"

Li Baihe's last sentence was so decisive that Luo Ming and Shang Ping fell silent. They didn't say a word for a long time.

"Brother, no matter what you think, this Hong Yu is the best opportunity for us to return to Da Xia. I must seize it. With Cheng Ping's temper, the mining area must have made arrangements to target Hong Yu. Maybe they will find someone to deal with him as soon as the sun rises. I want to bring him here!"

After Li Baihe finished speaking, he immediately turned around and walked out the door, obviously going to the mining area to find Hong Yu.

Luo Ming stood up and wanted to call him, but no words came out when he opened his mouth.

Shang Ping, who was standing by, didn't know what to say and finally just sighed.

"Uncle He, wait for me!"

Li Baihe was stopped by someone before he even reached the entrance to the passage.

"Xiaocheng, why are you here?"

Turning around, Li Baihe was stunned to see his nephew Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng walked up to Li Baihe and said with a little hesitation: "Uncle He, I also want to go with you to find that Hong Yu."

Li Baihe was stunned when he heard the voice, but when he saw the hesitation on Luo Cheng's face, he immediately realized that the conversation he had just had with Luo Ming in the house must have been heard by Luo Cheng.

"Xiaocheng, this is between me and your father, you don't have to worry about it."

Luo Cheng showed an anxious look on his face and said, "Uncle He, I don't want to marry into the Duan family, nor do I want to stay in the Beehive Camp. I want to go back to Daxia."

Li Baihe was stunned. Before he could speak, Luo Cheng continued. "I remember Xia Hong, the leader of the Great Xia Camp. He saved us during the Mukuei Rebellion two years ago. I remember that he was very powerful and a very nice person. We will definitely be happier if we return to Hongmu Ridge than if we stay here."

Looking at Luo Cheng's still slightly immature face, Li Baihe suddenly felt a little distressed.

It goes without saying that Luo Cheng definitely wouldn't dare to say these words to Luo Ming.

Li Baihe knew clearly that all the changes that Luo Ming had undergone over the years were actually to pave the way for his younger son Luo Cheng, but he had never thought about what Luo Cheng really wanted.

But Luo Cheng was an obedient child. He understood his father's good intentions and was never willing to tell Luo Ming about these things. He just kept practicing so as not to let Luo Ming down.

"Okay, Xiaocheng, I'll take you to find him!"

Thinking that Hong Yu's status in Daxia would not be too low, it would not be a bad idea to take Luo Cheng to meet him and leave an impression on him. So Li Baihe nodded, pulled Luo Cheng out of the passage and walked towards the mining area.

………………

“We have four iron mines in Beehive. After so many years of mining, the four mining areas are basically connected by underground passages. The only difference is that the mining entrances are different. There are eight in total.

You are new here, so you are assigned to the eighth area. There are eight numbered passages there. It is almost dawn now, so go to sleep first. When it gets dark, someone will call you. Then you can get a chisel and follow the team. "

After exiting Passage 19, there is a large space with a radius of 100 meters.

In addition to a wooden house at the entrance, there are hundreds of small caves on the stone walls in the east, south and west directions, which should be used by miners to live.
There are eight passages on the north side, marked with numbers 1 to 8, which are obviously the entrances to the mining area.

Xia Hong was standing at the door of the wooden house at this moment. After the person in charge told him what to pay attention to, he pointed to a small stone room on the west side, indicating Cave No. 93, which was where he lived.

"Why is there so few people walking around in Aisle 8?"

It was almost dawn and according to Bingyuan's schedule, it was time to go to bed, so many miners came back from the channel. However, after observing for a while, Xia Hong found that most of them came back from the first seven channels, and only a few people came back from the eighth channel. He immediately asked curiously.

The man showed sympathy when he heard the voice and said, "Brother, you are new here. Did you offend someone? Mining Area No. 8 is newly opened. Silver-backed rats often appear in it. It is not very safe. Except for people who have committed crimes and foreign slaves, few people will be sent there."

Xia Hong frowned slightly and turned to look at the three people sitting in the wooden house. They were looking at him with a teasing look on their faces. He immediately knew what was going on.

This Cheng Ping is so fast.

"Boy, listen to my advice. The person who arranged you here must be quite powerful. Hurry up and admit your mistake. You have finally cultivated to the Digging Realm, and it is bad enough to be trapped in the mining area. It is not worth it to go to the No. 8 mining area where you can die at any time..."

"Thank you very much, I'm going back to sleep now!"

The man who led the way was just a man who followed the rules. Xia Hong didn't want to say more to him. He clasped his fists and walked towards Cave No. 93.

When passing by other cave entrances along the way, Xia Hong sensed that most of the caves in front were single rooms, and he could vaguely see that there were many facilities in the cave and the environment was also good. It should be the place where the beehive diggers lived when they came here to mine.

The caves starting from No. 80 are no longer acceptable. Not only are there multiple people in the cave, but the facilities inside the cave are simple and the environment is not good.

As expected, it was just as the man just said, people who committed crimes, foreign slaves, and people like himself who had offended important people would be arranged to live in these caves at the back.

Cave No. 93.

As soon as Xia Hong walked in, he was stared at by seven pairs of eyes.

All seven of them had shackles on their feet. Five of them looked very unfriendly, while the other two had some sympathy in their eyes, but they quickly turned their backs and continued to sleep.

"He can even greet these slaves. This Cheng Ping is really capable. It seems that he knows a lot."

Xia Hong had a calm expression as he walked to an empty wooden bed in the cave, took off his longer ceremonial sword, placed it on the stone wall, then placed the sword on his knees, leaned against the wall, and began to rest with his eyes closed.

He definitely couldn't lie down on a bed like this, so he could only lean against the wall and close his eyes to rest.

"Boy, your knife looks good, let me have a look!"

But Xia Hong had just closed his eyes when he was woken up by someone.

The five people who had looked unfriendly just now have all walked towards him. The leader has a scar on the left side of his face and a ferocious expression. He pointed directly at his ceremonial sword leaning against the wall, indicating that he wanted to see his sword.

"Just look at it and take it yourself!"

Hearing Xia Hong's words, the man in the lead was stunned.

Including the four people behind him, their expressions were stunned for a moment.

Didn’t the person who just came say that this guy treated his two knives as his lifeblood and would fight to the death with anyone who wanted to watch?

Just let them get it themselves, what kind of thing is that?
Wang Hun thought about it for a long time, and finally he could only conclude that he was too cruel. The boy in front of him was intimidated by him and was so obedient.

"This kid is quite sensible, but unfortunately he will be humiliated. Let's tease him with the knife first and wait for Cheng Ping to bring his men over!"

Wang Hun laughed secretly in his heart, walked to Xia Hong's bed, reached out and grasped the ceremonial sword leaning against the wall, and tried to bring it in front of him.

However, the moment his arms exerted force, Wang Hun's expression froze for a moment.

The slender ceremonial sword, which was only about 1.7 meters long, was leaning against the wall without moving at all.

The next second, Wang Hun was a little bit unconvinced.

He exerted force with his arms, his face gradually turned red, and he even added another hand.

But Yidao remained motionless.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"What's going on? What's stuck on the knife?"

………………

The four people behind him saw this and thought something was going on, so they all asked about it. One of them even thought the knife was stuck and went forward to check.

At this time, Wang Hun had obviously realized something. He looked down and met Xia Hong's cold eyes. A layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

"Why, can't you carry it? Let me help you."

Xia Hong stretched out a finger and gently flicked the ceremonial knife.
