Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 266: Give advice and suggestions. The elder brother is like a father. [Please vote at the end of the month]

"Big sister, second sister, I'm here to bring you the soup."

"coming!"

In Room No. 1 next to the main building, Xiao Heng, carrying a heavy box of meat and bone soup, smiled and followed his second sister Xiao Yu, who came to open the door, into the house.

"Why did you send it again? Didn't you tell mom not to make it anymore? I'm almost sick of eating it every day."

Eldest sister Xiao Ning was sitting in the hall. Although she was blaming Xiao Heng, her face was still full of smiles. When Xiao Heng came over, she immediately waved her hand to brush the snow off his body, and then pushed him onto the chair.

"Big sister, please don't make me drink anymore. I eat one meal at home and another meal at your place. I'm almost dying of fullness these days."

When Xiao Heng saw his elder sister take out the bowl and chopsticks and serve him a full bowl, he immediately waved his hands and refused. But Xiao Ning didn't listen at all and put the bowl directly in front of him.

Xiao Yu joked, "Who told you to be so fond of sending gifts? Why don't you just say you don't want to send them? If they are sent to you, you have to eat them."

Xiao Heng's face turned bitter when he heard this. How could he dare to disobey his mother's orders?
Joking aside, Xiao Heng actually knew very well that his elder and second sisters were both at the Digging Realm and had no shortage of contribution points. Moreover, with his brother-in-law Xia Chuan's status and ability, how could they be short of something like beast meat?

Let’s not talk about anything else, just in these five days, every time he came to his brother-in-law’s house, his hands were always there, and his two sisters would always find ways to stuff something into his mouth.

Intermediate beast meat, refined salt, beast essence pills, cloth, and the 1 kilogram of aged wine given by the eldest sister last night were snatched away by his father Xiao Kangcheng when he got back, and he only got one cup for himself.

In the past few days, he felt a little bit blaming his mother in his heart. The task of delivering soup turned into picking up something. But today when he came out of the martial arts academy, he suddenly understood.

My brother-in-law Xia Chuan has been in Longyou for almost a month and has not been home.

The mother's real intention was probably that since her brother-in-law was not in the camp, she was worried that the two sisters would be too lonely at home, so she asked him to come and chat with the two sisters every day under the pretext of delivering meat soup to relieve their fatigue.

After understanding this, Xiao Heng was no longer as stupid as he was in the previous times. While drinking the broth, he took the initiative to talk to his sister.

"Sister, I was at the Martial Arts Academy today and heard that the rules for your Digging Realm group martial arts competition have all been announced. The rewards are really scary!"

Seeing his younger brother taking the initiative to talk, Xiao Ning immediately smiled and nodded in response, "That's right. There are so many good things, I am jealous of them. Unfortunately, your second sister and I are not strong enough. My basic strength is 27,000, and your second sister is 14,000. We don't even have hope of advancing."

Xiao Heng nodded and said, "That's for sure. The fifty Diggers who entered the Martial Arts Academy last night all broke through the 30,000-jin limit. I heard from my father that there are nearly 400 Diggers who have broken through the 30,000-jin limit in the camp right now. The basic strength must be at least over 60,000 to have a hope of advancing!"

Xiao Yu suddenly thought of something and interrupted, "By the way, Xiao Heng, I haven't seen my father for a long time. And Uncle Yuan, what is their current basic strength? Is there any hope of promotion?"

Xiao Ning immediately became interested when he heard this and looked at his brother expectantly.

It has been more than a year since the Xiaohe Camp was incorporated into Daxia. The Xiaoshan team founded by his father Xiao Kangcheng and uncle Xiao Yuan has now been promoted to the intermediate level. The strength of the two has naturally increased. Xiao Ning remembers that his father and uncle Yuan both broke through to the limit of the Digging Realm in September last year, and they should be even stronger now.

"I do not know either!"

However, Xiao Heng did not know the cultivation level of his two elders.

After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment and said, "They have recently exchanged a lot of beast blood and often go to the martial arts academy to practice. They also spend more and more time hunting at night. They should be preparing."

After hearing what their brother said, Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu immediately understood that their father and Uncle Yuan must be aiming for promotion, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"Big sister, second sister, I heard that the martial arts competition for the cold-resistant group will be personally presided over by the leader. What do you think, will my brother-in-law be the first place?"

The two girls smiled when they heard this, with a hint of pride on their faces.

People tend to focus on the strong.

In this martial arts competition, what all members of Da Xia are most concerned about is the cold-resistant level grouping.

There are currently 23 cold-resistant levels in the camp, and the only one who truly understands the strength of all members is probably the leader, but this does not affect everyone's discussion.

At present, it is said that there are four people who are the favorites to win the cold-resistant group, namely, Secretary Xia Chuan, Director of the Hunting Department Yu Wentao, the newly joined Beehive Leader Chen Yingyuan, and Yanglu Leader Peng Bo.

When Xiao Heng asked this question, it was obvious that he was inclined towards his brother-in-law Xia Chuan.

Of course, Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu are more inclined towards their husbands than he is.

The two women did not answer the question directly, but just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that the two sisters did not answer, Xiao Heng rolled his eyes and continued to ask:

"Sister, the rules of the logging competition have not been announced yet. Do you know anything about it?"

bang...

"Ouch……"

As soon as Xiao Heng finished asking the question, he was hit on the head by his second sister Xiao Yu.

"You stinky boy, you're still thinking about this. Don't say you don't know. Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you."

Xiao Ning's reaction was not that big. He thought for a moment and said, "Including Wuyuan, Jinggu, and Longyou, the total number of people in Daxia who are now in the Lumbering Realm is at least 30,000. According to my observations over the past few days, there are at least 2,000 people who are deliberately stuck like you and do not break through. Moreover, there is still half a month before the official start of the martial arts competition on the first day of June. There will definitely be more and more in the future..."

Xiao Heng has seen quite a few people who are stuck in breaking through to the Digging Realm in the martial arts academy these past few days, but he guessed that there are only three to five hundred people at most.

When I heard my eldest sister Xiao Ning say that there were more than 2,000, and that there would be more and more in the future, I was stunned.

"How come there are so many?"

"laugh…………"

The second sister Xiao Yu sneered and said in a delicate voice, "Silly brother, Qiu Sizheng doesn't care about Zhao Yuanwu and her brother because there are too many people who are stuck and can't break through. Just a dozen people can't affect the martial arts competition at all. When the martial arts competition starts on the first day of June, you will see that there will definitely be a lot of people who will break through immediately after entering the arena."

Xiao Heng's expression instantly became much heavier when he heard that. Two or three thousand people were stuck and couldn't break through, so his basic strength of more than 9,900 kilograms was not an advantage at all.

According to the ratio that 4,000 people will be eliminated in the first round of screening in the Digging Realm, the number of people eliminated in the first round in the Logging Realm will be at least 30,000. In other words, with his strength, it is questionable whether he can survive the first round of screening.

"You are so dejected, silly boy. Although your basic strength doesn't give you much of an advantage, at least you are not at a disadvantage. Your brother-in-law has personally taught you long fist. In terms of force generation techniques, even if you are not the best, you are better than most people. As long as you follow the rules of the competition and use your brain more, I don't believe that you can't even make it into the top 100."

After Xiao Ning finished speaking, Xiao Yu also said: "The Digging Realm is divided into groups. Each person is said to have 10 fighting opportunities, but judging by the number of people, it is estimated that they will be eliminated immediately if they lose one game. Only if they win 10 games in a row, and the winning time must be short, will they have a chance to advance.

There are too many people in your group of woodcutters. To decide the top 100 out of 30,000 people, it is impossible to follow the rules of the digging group. There will definitely be another way, and more than 90% of the people will be eliminated in the first round. Think carefully, what method can be used to achieve this?"

Xiao Heng's expression calmed down a little. He was not stupid. He knew that his second sister was helping him to come up with ideas for how to advance. He immediately lowered his head and began to think.

Soon, his eyes lit up and he said, "If we eliminate more than 90% of the woodcutters in one go, then we will definitely provide a completely unmatched opponent for all the woodcutters. This will lead to large-scale elimination."

Quite smart!

Xiao Ning showed a hint of approval on his face and continued to guide: "By the way, since it is a large-scale indiscriminate elimination, it is impossible to take into account everyone's strength, so I guess that strength is definitely not the decisive factor in this first stage. You can think of other ways."

Strength is not the decisive factor!
Besides strength, what else will be tested?

Xiao Heng immediately fell into deep thought.

Luck, popularity, ability, teamwork...

Boom boom boom!
A knock on the door suddenly interrupted Xiao Heng's thoughts.

The three of them immediately turned to look at the door, with curiosity on their faces.

Normally, there are very few visitors to Xia Chuan's home. In addition, he has been in Longyou recently, and the higher-ups in the camp basically know about it. It's almost dawn now, so who would come?

Xiao Yu asked curiously as he walked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, open the door!" Hearing the voice outside the door, Xiao Yu was stunned and a hint of nervousness suddenly appeared on his face. Xiao Ning immediately pulled his brother up from the chair, followed Xiao Yu to the door, and opened the door.

"Meet the leader!"

Xiao Heng was a little confused at first, but when the door opened and he saw the man in black outside, his expression suddenly became tense.

"Greetings...Greetings...Chief!"

If Xiao Ning hadn't pulled him back, Xiao Heng would probably have remained in a daze for a long time.

The person who came was actually the leader!

Although Xiao Heng had been in Da Xia for more than a year, he had never seen Xia Hong at such a close distance. He bowed hurriedly, his voice trembling.

It’s not that I’m scared, it’s mostly excitement!
In the more than one year since he came to Daxia, Xiao Heng has heard too many legendary stories about the leader Xia Hong.

At the age of eighteen, he succeeded as the leader of Daxia; he led more than one hundred people in the camp to escape death from the hands of a monster; when he was in the logging realm, he went out alone to hunt cold beasts; as soon as he broke through the digging realm, he helped the Rogue camp to kill the monsters; he took over Shuanglong Valley from Luo Ming, and then unified Hongmu Ridge; he drove away the group of rats on the north slope of the mountain wall; he was the first to hunt a mid-level cold beast; he was the first to break through the cold-resistant level...

Like many young people in Da Xia, Xiao Heng has an extremely strong admiration for Xia Hong after being constantly influenced by him. The word "idol" is not enough to describe this feeling, and he has already become extremely fanatical.

You can imagine how excited he was when he suddenly saw Xia Hong up close.

"You don't have to be so polite as a family. Come in, it's cold outside!"

Xia Hong chuckled and walked into the house first. Seeing the exquisite furnishings in Xia Chuan's house, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Xia Chuan should not have treated you two sisters unfairly."

Perhaps it was because Xia Hong rarely showed up in the camp normally, not to mention Xiao Heng, the sisters Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu also looked obviously nervous, but when they heard his joke, their cheeks turned slightly red and they relaxed a little.

"Boss... You are joking, my husband is very good to us. He has been in Longyou recently and gave all his contribution points directly to the two of us."

Xia Hong smiled and nodded. He knew about this as well. When the husband is away from home, he gives the right to use his contribution points to his wife. This is the model currently used by most families in Daxia.

He glanced down at Xiao Ning's belly and indeed sensed a faint breath of life. He immediately smiled and said, "Xia Chuan hid it from me. How come you two also hid it from me? How many months have you been hiding it from me?"

Hearing Xia Hong's question, Xiao Ning's face suddenly turned red. After a long time, he replied in a voice as thin as a mosquito's silk: "Brother, it's been almost two months."

Seeing this, Xiao Yu covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

It is only May now, and Bingyuan is also pregnant for ten months, and it is only two months now. It is estimated that she will give birth early next year.

This can be considered the first second-generation child in the family!

In this regard, my younger brother Xiachuan is better than me.

Xia Hong's smile grew stronger. He took out three porcelain bottles, two large and one small, from his arms and handed them directly to Xiao Ning. He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, as your eldest brother, I haven't paid much attention to you. I even heard about your pregnancy from others. I am a bit incompetent. Consider these three bottles of elixir as my gifts to you."

The names of the three bottles are clearly written on them: Beast Spirit Pill, Blood Yuan Pill, and Yang Yuan Pill.

Xiao Ning was pregnant recently and basically did not leave the camp, but she still had to go to the quartermaster department frequently. She was very familiar with these three pills, as they were only put on the shelves of the quartermaster department a few days ago.

Beast Spirit Pill is an enhanced version of Beast Yuan Pill, and one pill costs 200 contribution points;
Blood Spirit Pills are even more precious. They are elixirs that can only be used to reshape the skin membrane after reaching the limit of the Digging Realm. One Blood Spirit Pill has 700 Contribution Points.
Not to mention the Yang Yuan Dan, which is a cold-resistant elixir for cultivation, and one pill has 3000 contribution points.

Moreover, there is an upper limit on the exchange of these three kinds of pills by individuals. In other words, there are not many in stock in the Quartermaster Department.

Xiao Ning took the three porcelain bottles and felt the number of pills inside. His breathing suddenly stagnated for a moment, but he immediately opened his mouth to decline:

"Brother, please don't think like that. Actually, when my husband found out that I was pregnant, he wanted to inform you, but he thought that you were busy with many things, so he decided to wait until I gave birth to the child before notifying you. I absolutely cannot accept this pill!"

However, Xia Hong interrupted her directly and waved his hand:
"Your basic strength is already 500. With this batch of beast spirit pills and beast meat, and a few more visits to the martial arts academy, it shouldn't be difficult to break through to the limit of kilograms within a few months. I'll have someone give you kilograms of beast blood later. Try to break through to the cold-resistant level as soon as possible, and strive to achieve it before giving birth..."

At this point, Xia Hong paused and continued, "I'm not giving these things to you. Your breakthrough to the Cold Resistance Level will be beneficial to the future talent of the fetus in your belly."

Xiao Ning's face froze when he heard this. Knowing that he had no chance to refuse, he felt touched.

"Your room is a bit deserted. I'll ask Qiu Peng to arrange two maids for you later so that someone can take care of your daily life."

When Xiao Ning heard that a maid was going to be arranged for him, he subconsciously refused.

In fact, during this period of time, they had conquered the Wushuang, Fengchao and Hanqiong families, and captured many female captives. However, the supply department had never opened the door to the maids, and it was obvious that they were planning something for the future.

Currently, the only one in Da Xia who is qualified to have a maid is the leader Xia Hong. If anyone else wants to use a maid, it would be considered an overstepping of boundaries. This is also one of the current rules of Da Xia. It is obviously a bit against the rules for Xia Hong to have a maid for himself.

"Okay, I'll say hello to Qiu Peng, don't worry."

However, Xia Hong still did not give her a chance to refuse. After he finished speaking, he smiled and asked, "You haven't chosen a name for the child yet, right?"

Hearing this question, Xiao Ning suddenly remembered something and answered:
"It hasn't been named yet. My husband once said that an elder brother is like a father. This is his first child, and also the first second-generation offspring of our Xia family. It should be the eldest brother who names him."

Xia Hong's expression was suddenly moved when he heard this.

This is indeed Xiachuan's character, and what he can say.

After he thought for a moment, a trace of difficulty suddenly appeared on his face.

It is not easy to choose a name with the surname Xia.

If you choose it wrong, it will become a joke!
"What can Xia be associated with? It has to be something nice..."

Seeing him lowering his head in thought, Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu did not interrupt him and continued to wait.

Soon, Xia Hong's eyes lit up.

"Let's name the girl Xia Yuning and the boy Xia Yuzong, how about that?"

When Xiao Ning heard these two names, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Yu Ning and Yu Zong, these two names, big brother, are so good!"

“Hahaha, not bad…”

Xia Hong was also somewhat pleased with himself when he heard this. He laughed a few times and teased Xiao Yu who was standing beside Xiao Ning, saying, "Work harder. You can have as much as your sister has."

Xiao Yu immediately lowered his head and his face turned red.

Seeing that she was thin-skinned, Xia Hong did not continue teasing. He turned his head and looked at the boy behind the two girls, and said with a smile: "Your name is Xiao Heng, right?"

Chief, you actually remember my name?
Xiao Heng's face was first surprised, and then his eyes burst into a strong joy. He bowed to Xia Hong and said, "Xiao Heng greets the leader!"

"You want to know the rules of the competition for the logging team, so how about I give you some inside information first?"

The leader knew everything about my little thoughts...

Xiao Heng could hear the teasing tone in Xia Hong's words, and his face immediately became awkward. He hesitated for a long time and did not dare to answer him.

"Hahaha, your elder and second sisters are right. In the first round of selection in the logging realm, strength is not the decisive factor. Luck, popularity, ability, and cooperation are all indispensable. I will tell you these. Whether you can seize the opportunity depends on you..."

Xia Hong was rarely interested in teasing people, so he turned around and walked a few steps outside before continuing, "The reward for the first place in the logging realm is 30 beast spirit pills, 1000 kilograms of intermediate beast meat, 3000 contribution points, a set of hundred-forged weapons and armor, a place to practice in the martial arts hall for ten days, and 20 kilograms of refined salt.

By the way, all the people who have won places in the two groups of the Woodcutting Realm and the Digging Realm can watch the competition of the Cold-Resistance Class up close. Boy, I look forward to seeing you there."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Heng's breathing suddenly became much heavier, and he did not come back to his senses for a long time until Xia Hong walked away.
