Endless Winter: My Camp Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 78 Everyone Can Practice
"Brother, what do you think of my proposal?"

Xia Hong, who was trying to guess Luo Ming's intentions, was interrupted by Xia Chuan. He simply stopped guessing and roughly calculated it in his mind, then spoke:
"Let's follow the rules you proposed, but I want to add two more points. The age limit for the reserve force can now be relaxed to between thirteen and thirty years old. In addition, those under thirteen will also be given five kilograms of cold beast meat every month."

Seeing that Xia Chuan immediately looked anxious after listening to him, Xia Hong raised his hand and gestured for Xia Chuan to continue listening to him.

"I know the population structure of the camp. There are about a hundred people between the ages of thirteen and thirty, which is about thirty more than the number you just specified. Even if we include them, we will consume about one thousand kilograms more of cold beast meat every month.

There are a little more people under the age of thirteen, about one hundred and fifty. If each person weighs five kilograms per month, the total is more than seven hundred kilograms.

In other words, the two points I added can be achieved by killing two more cold beasts every month."

According to Xia Chuan's calculations, if he could successfully hunt four adult cold beasts in a month, he could maintain his consumption. Adding the two additional points, it would be enough to kill six beasts in a month.

"Six cold beasts in one month, are you still afraid that you can't do it?"

Hearing Xia Hong's question, Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng both showed a hint of hesitation on their faces.

In fact, in the previous month, they hunted more than six cold beasts. Now that they have iron tools, their hunting ability has been greatly improved. Considering the terrifying density of cold beasts in Redwood Ridge, it is definitely possible to kill six cold beasts every month.

But the problem is that hunting is risky.

The hunting process of the Snowmane just now seemed simple, but it was the joint efforts of the ten of them, plus the blessing of the Jinghan Sword, and the understanding of cold beasts like the Snowmane. It was achieved due to the combination of many factors.

So far, they have only encountered three types of cold beasts in total. If they encounter other unfamiliar cold beasts, the risk is still very high.

What's more, taking this risk is just for the ordinary people in the camp.

After thinking for a long time, Xia Chuan finally spoke.

“Brother, hunting two more cold beasts means we have to take greater risks. I don’t think it’s worth it for these ordinary people in the camp;

Moreover, the range in which we can hunt at present, including the original territory of Dashi, is only about one thousand meters from north to south. Although the density of cold beasts is high, it is extremely limited within this one thousand-meter range. If two more are added, the cold beasts in this area may soon become extinct.

At that time, we will have to go deep into the Redwood Ridge, which will be even more unsafe."

As Xia Chuan was speaking, the three of them walked to the entrance of the camp.

"Meet the leader!"

"Meet the leader."

"The leader is back..."

"Brother Chuan, Brother Cheng is back too."

"Okay, everyone go and do your own things."

Xia Hong smiled and responded to the people who greeted him at the cave entrance. He led the two into the camp and walked to the iron smelting furnace. He motioned for them to sit down, then pointed at the ordinary people in the camp and asked Xia Chuan:
"What do you think these people are to the camp right now?"

Xia Chuan was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he only answered with two words.

"burden."

"Yes, they are a burden. Are you willing to abandon them?"

Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng fell silent immediately.

The answer is obvious. Of course they are unwilling to abandon them. Not to mention that among these ordinary people in the camp are their relatives and friends. Even if they have no relationship, they have lived together for many years and must have feelings for them.

“You said it’s not worth taking greater risks for these people, I can understand that, but think about it, before they were able to go out, we were already taking risks for them.

Hunting, picking crystal fruit, logging, and mining in the future, as long as you go out, who can guarantee 100% safety? Isn't it a risk?"

After Xia Hong finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief and his expression gradually became solemn.

It is basically a consensus that ordinary people are a burden.

They were unable to go out, let alone cut wood, hunt, or mine. Even helping to move wood required several people. They did not dare to open the cave entrance at night, and even tasks like collecting snow water had to be done by the logging team.

When the golden-eyed demon sheep attacked, except for him and seven others including Xia Chuan who resisted, the remaining more than a hundred people could only stand by and watch.

This is the case even when the cold beasts attack, not to mention the more powerful monsters.

The destruction of Dashi Camp and the tragedy of Rogue Camp are two bloody lessons before us.

Xia Hong didn't blame these people. In the case of insufficient resources, ordinary people in any camp would be considered a burden. Not only could they not help at all, but in order to maintain the survival of these people, the camp's manpower had to risk their lives and go out to take risks. Going out inevitably comes with risks, and ordinary people who stay in the camp are risk-free but can't help at all and can't produce anything.

If this continues, the camp will not be able to develop in a healthy way.

It is necessary to involve all the people in the camp in the development.

In the words of previous lives, this is called liberating their productivity.

The first step is to provide enough cold beast meat.

After all, without the ability to go out, everything is just empty talk.

It is totally worthwhile to take some risks in the early stage so that more people can contribute more and participate in the development of the camp.

And this risk will not last long.

Through his own cultivation progress, Xia Hong has already realized that for humans, there is almost no threshold to the Logging Realm and the Digging Realm. As long as there is sufficient cold beast meat, everyone can break through. The only difference is the speed of the breakthrough due to age and talent.

With enough logging areas, Xia Hong and others can concentrate on hunting and don't have to worry about felling trees at all; the same principle applies to subsequent mining.

As more and more people perform their duties and contribute their efforts, the camp's output will become richer, and these outputs will be used to feed back, and such a cycle will continue. This is a truly virtuous cycle, and Daxia will be able to achieve the fullest development.

After explaining their thoughts in detail, Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng immediately fell into deep thought. Unlike the last time they mentioned 352, this time the two of them figured it out quickly.

In fact, the fact that Xia Chuan was able to come up with the four-level classification method proves that his thinking is actually very similar to Xia Hong's, so he quickly understood and accepted what Xia Hong said.

"Have you ever thought that maybe one day in the future, everyone in Daxia will be able to practice, and even children of five or six years old will have the strength of a woodcutter?"

"Chief, stop joking."

"Brother, you are confused, how is this possible!"

Xia Hong's last sentence made Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng laugh.

It was outrageous enough that everyone could practice. To the two of them, a five or six-year-old child having the strength of a lumberjack was simply a fantasy.

Unless the cold beast lies there motionless and lets them kill it.

Xia Hong did not refute what they said. After thinking for a moment, he also laughed with them:

"Hahaha, just kidding. Go count the number of people first, and then announce the new rules for distributing the meat so that everyone can be happy!"

Looking at the two people's leaving backs, Xia Hong put away the smile on his face, looked around the camp, and a hint of ambition flashed in his eyes.

He was not kidding. With the camp system in place, it was only a matter of time before Daxia reached this day.

After Xia Chuan announced the new meat-sharing rules formulated by Xia Hong, the camp naturally welcomed a round of applause.

Especially the newly joined people from Dashi, when they heard that everyone would get a share of cold beast meat, including them, they were a little bit unbelieving at first, but later when they confirmed it was true, they burst into tears.

Seeing the huge crowd coming towards him, Xia Hong immediately realized something, and hurriedly stood up and opened his mouth to stop them.

But before he could open his mouth, the crowd rushed over, and some people even walked over to the side and lifted him up high.

"The leader is mighty!"

"The leader is mighty!"

"The leader is mighty!"

…………

Although the cheers were uneven, they were all filled with gratitude and reverence without exception. As the cheers grew louder, this emotion gradually turned into fanaticism.

But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the cave.

"Brother Xia Hong, it's been so easy to find!"

Although the sound was not loud, it was transmitted extremely clearly into the cave, interrupting the cheers of the crowd.

Everyone suddenly became quiet and looked towards the cave entrance nervously.
