Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 10: Damn, I’m finally full

Chapter 10: Damn, I’m finally full
The little girl quickly replied respectfully: "I've seen it before, but I didn't dare get close."

Ok.

Liu Hen thought that even the original owner of this body had only seen fire a few times.

It’s not that there is no fuel. Although the trees on the surface are scarce, they are not extinct and can be used as firewood.

However, in extremely cold environments, rubbing two sticks together to make fire is probably useless because there are no dry sawdust or other things to start the fire.

Liu Hen once again felt that it was a miracle that the people of the wilderness could survive in such an extreme environment.

This kind of miracle requires generations of people to slowly adapt and gradually evolve imperceptibly in order to survive in this extreme environment.

Because he had to go outside to collect wood later, he was not in a hurry to seal the cave entrance.

Anyway, there seemed to be fog in the middle of the night, and the cave was obstructing the view. With only a little light from the fire projected out, it was not possible to see clearly even hundreds of meters away.

If there really were monsters in this area, they would have been attracted here by the previous noise.

Thinking about this, he glanced at the little girl's naked body, which looked almost like a skeleton, and took off a coat and handed it to her: "Put it on. I can't find any clothes that fit you right now, so just make do with this for now."

This coat belongs to Huang Hu. He has three more coats. With a campfire to keep warm, three coats are more than enough.

"No, no...it's warm here..."

The little girl quickly refused, as she was terrified by this treatment.

"You can't wear nothing at all. Be obedient. This is also my request."

You can't be too gentle when dealing with these pure barbarians, otherwise it will make them feel terrified.

So Liu Hen deliberately put on a stern face: "Are you going to disobey me?"

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

The little girl shuddered and quickly took the clothes and put them on.

But she was too small, and the dress was like a skirt to her, wrapping her entire body, leaving only her dirty little head exposed.

Liu Hen squatted down with satisfaction, turned on the campfire's cooking function, and boiled water.

Ten seconds later, he took out a cup of boiling water and drank it himself to warm his stomach.

Although the temperature of this boiling water is very high, it is not high enough to burn people. It is just the right temperature.

The little girl next to him slowly squatted down, and seeing that Liu Hen did not stop her, she tried to get closer to the campfire to keep warm, while staring at the boiling water in Liu Hen's hand.

Her throat moved and she wanted to drink, but she didn't dare open her mouth.

Liu Hen immediately prepared another cup of boiling water, took it out and handed it over: "Warm up your stomach first."

"Thank you, sir!"

The little girl stretched out her hands in surprise and took the cup as if it were a treasure.

Only then did Liu Hen discover that the little girl's hands were covered with frostbite, and her hands looked very ugly.

But now he had no choice but to pretend not to see it.

Soon, he finished the boiled water in his hand and the cup disappeared out of thin air.

'First, upgrade the Pickaxe of Everything.'

He thought about it and chose to upgrade.

The data in my mind blurred along with the pickaxe of all things.

The next moment, he once again felt a warm current emerging from deep within his body.

Wherever the warm current passed, his body seemed to become warmer again from the inside out.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a slight itch on the back of his neck, and the blood scab on the previous wound fell off directly.

At the same time, the little girl next to him took a sip of boiled water carefully.

When the steaming hot water without any strange smell entered her mouth, she was shocked and felt it was unbelievable.

"This water...why is it so delicious?! So warm..."

After drinking the steaming hot water, my stomach felt warm and my whole body felt warm.

Suddenly her eyes became moist, and she couldn't help but burst into tears. She couldn't help but have the thought that "even if I am really cooked as food by this psychic in the end, I will have no regrets."

Liu Hen couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

Not to mention the pure barbarians in this world, even I, when I was extremely hungry and cold, would feel happy after drinking a cup of hot water.

At this time, the upgrade of the All Things Pickaxe was completed, and the data in my mind became——

[All Things Pickaxe (Black Iron) Lv. 5 (Upgrade Requirements: 6 Iron Ore, 6 Magic Crystals)]

[Magic Crystal: 3]

[Space backpack: 5]

[Recipe: Creation Workbench (Contains Bonfire Recipe)]

'Five squares.'

Liu Hen secretly looked forward to it: "The current pickaxe is of Black Iron grade. Since there are "color grades" to distinguish them, new functions should be born in the future."

"By the way, can non-collected items be stored in the space backpack?"

He took out the tree cake from his pocket, and with a thought, he successfully put it into his space backpack.

"It can also be stored in the space backpack... That's good."

He quickly turned on the campfire's cooking function again, and sure enough, he saw tree cakes in the ingredient column.

"You can't use it all at once, you have to save it."

Thinking of this, he took out the tree cake again, took out the pickaxe, and prepared to cut it into several pieces with the end of the axe blade.

[Tree Cake Essence +1]

With one pickaxe, a piece of tree cake essence was collected.

Then fine cracks appeared on the surface of the intact tree cake, and then it fell apart.

"Oh my god, how did it become a collection..."

Liu Hen was stunned for a moment, then quickly put away his pickaxe and caught the falling tree cake crumbs with both hands.

When he used the Pickaxe to attack monsters before, he didn't activate the collection function. He thought the Pickaxe could only be used for mining.

"The Pickaxe of Everything... can it really collect everything? Is it because it can't collect monsters because it's ineffective against living things?"

This thought flashed through his mind, and at the same time he successfully caught the remaining tree cake and prevented it from falling to the ground.

However, the residue looks like sawdust, and it is hard to say whether it is edible.

He flipped his hand and took out the tree cake essence he had just collected, and found that it was a thumb-sized, square, black-brown particle.

A faint aroma similar to compressed biscuits wafted out. "This tree biscuit... actually contains biscuit ingredients?"

Hongluo Camp is so conscientious?

Liu Hen was secretly surprised, then put the essence of the tree cake into his pocket.

Then he divided the tree cake residue into two parts, put them into two grids in the space backpack, and turned on the campfire cooking function again.

Fortunately, these residues will still appear in the ingredients column.

"How can I cook without a recipe?"

Looking at the ingredient list with only ice cubes and tree cake residue, he thought for a moment, and first put a portion of tree cake residue into one of the four boxes on the cooking interface, and then put an ice cube into each of the other three boxes.

When he chose to cook, a countdown suddenly appeared.

And this time, the countdown is one minute.

"I hope there will be food recipes instead of dark dishes."

He prayed secretly.

"Ah..." Suddenly the little girl next to her exclaimed because the cup in her hand disappeared.

Liu Hen smiled and explained, "The cup exists to hold water. Once the water is drunk, the cup will no longer have any meaning and will disappear. Don't worry."

"The meaning of existence? So... so magical!"

The little girl was surprised again, but also secretly relieved.

Just now she thought that she had made a mistake in operation and accidentally broke the psychic's treasure.

"By the way, what's your name?" Liu Hen asked.

"Black Stone." The little girl replied.

"Black Stone?"

Liu Hen raised his eyebrows: "The black stone?"

"Yes, my lord."

The little girl Heishi answered respectfully: "I don't have a surname. My full name is 'Heishi'."

This name... is really random.

"Thank you, sir, for giving me such delicious water. From now on, my life belongs to you!" Heishi suddenly said.

Liu Hen raised his eyebrows and looked at the other person. Was he bribed?

Is it because life was too hard in the past?
He smiled and said, "What's the use of life or death? Just be obedient. You've seen my abilities. You just need to keep watch for me. There's nothing else you need to do."

"I will definitely obey."

Heishi pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke again: "Actually, my real age is not that young. I am thirteen years old. I can serve you and give birth to children for you. I am not useless."

She tried hard to show some value because the master with superpowers was so kind to her and gave her such delicious hot water.

"..."

Liu Hen glanced at Heishi's skinny body under his clothes, and his heart was filled with astonishment.

Is this the body a thirteen-year-old girl should have?

Zong Ni was only seventeen years old, only four years older than Heishi. Although she was also severely malnourished, she at least had some feminine characteristics.

Seeing that Liu Hen didn't say anything, Heishi obviously thought of his own situation. He lowered his head in inferiority, feeling frightened and didn't dare to speak again.

"If you want to serve me, take care of your body first."

Liu Hen put away his surprised expression. He was not in the mood to play with women now.

Especially the skinny appearance of Black Stone, which really made him lose interest at all.

Besides, thirteen years old...was considered a minor on Earth in the previous life.

At this time, one minute is up, the food is cooked successfully, and a new recipe appears on the campfire cooking interface - tree cake paste.

'Muddy?'

Liu Hen clicked to receive it, then looked at the black mucus in a large bowl in his space backpack, and a message emerged in his mind:
[Tree Cake Paste: A paste that can satisfy hunger, only the people of the wilderness can digest it.]

He flipped his hand and took it out, and found that it was actually a large bowl.

A full bowl of porridge probably weighs three pounds.

The faint aroma of wood wafted out, causing his already hungry stomach to twitch.

Heishi next to him also looked over suddenly, and after smelling the fragrance, his eyes almost turned green.

But she held back and turned her head away, not daring to look again, for fear that she would lose her mind and do something to make the psychic angry.

"How could you cook such a large bowl of porridge from about half a pound of tree cake residue?"

Liu Hen was really surprised and happy this time, and hurriedly picked up the large bowl and took a big gulp.

The taste... well, it's better not to describe it. There is no taste at all, very bland.

But at least it’s not bad and very easy to swallow.

In comparison, it is countless times more delicious than eating tree cakes directly.

Especially for him who is extremely hungry now, it is simply a delicacy from the mountains and the sea.

As he ate mouthful after mouthful of the tree cake paste and felt full, Liu Hen's eyes became moist again and he was moved by himself.

"Damn, I finally have a full meal. It's not easy!"

I no longer need to drink water to fill my stomach.

He swallowed big gulps and drank greedily.

He drank more than two kilograms in one breath. Finally, his stomach was full and he couldn't drink any more. He felt extremely satisfied.

There was about one tenth of the bowl left. He handed it to Heishi and said, "Drink it."

Heishi's body trembled, and he raised his head suddenly, looking at Liu Hen in disbelief: "Sir..."

"Don't hesitate to follow my orders in the future." Liu Hen said with a deliberately stern face.

"Yes, my lord!"

Heishi quickly held up the large bowl, brought it to her mouth with trembling hands, and greedily drank the food inside, which she thought was something only gods could eat.

"This... is delicious. Is this the food of the gods? How can there be such delicious food?"

As she drank, she couldn't help but cry again, and her tears fell into the bowl. She wondered if she was dreaming.
In fact, even in her dreams, she had never dreamed of this kind of food. It felt unreal.
