Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 14 Magical Warm Clothes
"It's so far. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone back last night."

"Stop complaining, it's almost here."

Thirty meters away from the cave.

The Wu siblings were talking when they suddenly stopped subconsciously.

At the same time, they heard Heishi's voice and were stunned.

"We... shouldn't have come to the wrong place, but why has it become like this?"

The second brother, Wu Yuanguang, looked confused.

The fifth, Wu Yuanxia, ​​was also confused and said, "It wasn't like this when we came here last night. Could it be that it was too dark last night and we didn't see the wall?"

"Impossible. It wasn't dark last night. The firelight in the cave could shine outside."

The eldest brother, Wu Yuanming, took a deep breath and said solemnly, "That master must have used his power to make a fortification rise from the ground overnight!"

"Are psychics that powerful?"

The rest of the people were shocked and unbelievable.

Because there are no other psychics in the Hongluo Camp area, or even if there are, their identities are hidden.

So before this, they had never come into contact with people with superpowers, nor had they witnessed the magical methods of other people with superpowers.

Seeing the wall that seemed to appear out of thin air at this time, in addition to being shocked, the fear of people with special abilities also increased greatly.

"Fortunately, we didn't act impulsively last night."

Wu Yuanming said in a deep voice: "Everyone should be more respectful later."

"Don't worry, big brother. We know the seriousness of the situation. Just do as we did last night. I don't think we need to be too deliberate." Wu Yuanxia said.

"That's right. Being too deliberate can easily make people dislike you."

Wu Yuanming nodded, and then continued to move forward with his four men.

After approaching the fortifications, they keenly discovered that the trees used to block the wind and rest last night had also disappeared, and a huge pit appeared in their place.

Even another nearby tree disappeared, with a hole appearing in its place and even the roots gone.

This scene made them feel even more solemn, because the task of uprooting two trees was not something a normal person could accomplish in one night.

Especially on this hard frozen soil.

Soon, they came to the bottom of the wall and respectfully saluted Liu Hen in the trading window above.

"The Wu brothers and sisters are here to disturb us again."

Wu Yuanming said, "I wonder if Lord Liu Hen is free now? We'd like to order another serving of the hot meal we had last night."

Liu Hen nodded calmly: "It's still the same price as last night."

"Already prepared."

Wu Yuanming nodded to Wu Yuanxia.

Wu Yuanxia immediately walked over and placed ten magic crystals and five pounds of tree cakes on the trading window platform.

"Wait."

Liu Hen waved his hand, collected the magic crystal and tree cake, and then returned to the tree hole with the black stone.

"Sir, don't we need to keep an eye on them?" Heishi asked doubtfully after entering the cave.

"No, I'll have something for you to do later."

Liu Hen did not rush to cook the tree cake paste, but quickly took out the pickaxe, widened the cave five meters away from the entrance, and then took out the workbench.

Then, he couldn't wait to take out all the slag and throw it aside, and put the bark he had taken out before into the space backpack, and then opened the production interface of the workbench.

He clicked on the [Warm Clothing] recipe and chose to make it.

After choosing to make it, many sizes suddenly popped up. The smallest one is probably for children aged five or six, and requires the least material.

The largest one is actually enough to be worn by a person who is theoretically five or six meters tall, and requires hundreds of pieces of bark.

Liu Hen estimated his body shape and height, and then chose a size that suited him.

Ten pieces of bark and one magic crystal were consumed.

Production begins, the countdown is one minute.

"Hopefully it'll keep you warm."

Liu Hen was secretly looking forward to it.

While waiting, he took out another pound of tree cakes and collected them with the pickaxe.

[Tree Cake Essence +1]

As the essence was collected, the tree cake immediately disintegrated and turned into residue.

He divided the residue into two equal parts and put them into his space backpack, then used the campfire's cooking function to start cooking the tree cake paste.

"The amount of tree cake essence is too small, so keep it for now."

Liu Hen took out the essence of the tree cake and put it aside, putting it together with the essence from last night. He came to the workbench and found that the warm clothes had been made.

He immediately chose to receive it.

When this piece of clothing appears in the space backpack, a brief introduction appears:
[Warm Clothing: Just as bark protects a tree, this warm clothing can also retain body heat, significantly reducing the rate of heat loss even in cold winds. Assuming the size difference is not too large, this warm clothing will automatically conform to the skin and has sweat-filtering and sweat-absorbing properties. If you wear a warm clothing for a long time, the filtered sweat will slowly increase the thickness of the clothing.]

"This introduction... seems quite impressive."

Liu Hen was delighted and took out his warm clothes.

This is a brown long-sleeved, high-necked, close-fitting warm coat, about two millimeters thick.

The surface looks like bark, but it feels very soft to the touch, which is very magical.

"It seems like there's no level data. Can't it be upgraded like a bonfire?"

Liu Hen pondered: "Or, absorbing sweat and increasing thickness is an upgrade? This upgrade method is really unique."

How much sweat does the human body produce?

Especially in such an extremely cold environment, it is difficult to sweat unless you exercise vigorously.

In other words, the upgrade speed of this kind of clothing will definitely be very slow. 'Try it first.'

Liu Hen couldn't wait to take off the three shirts, and then put on the high-necked, long-sleeved, close-fitting warm clothes under Xiao Heishi's curious gaze.

The next moment, something magical happened.

The thermal clothing actually slowly moved, sticking completely to the skin, and a strong sense of security emerged.

It’s as if a new layer of skin has grown outside the skin.

Yes, it feels like having an extra layer of skin.

Moreover, this layer of skin will not affect the discharge of sweat from the pores. It has good breathability but is not windproof.

Because the breathability effect is mainly reflected in absorbing and filtering sweat, rather than allowing wind to blow in.

To put it in another way, it is a one-way channel that can only allow exit but not entry.

He couldn't help but walk to the end of the cave, away from the campfire.

The temperature here is about one or two degrees, but it doesn't feel cold at all.

"It seems that the body temperature really doesn't dissipate, or it dissipates very slowly!"

Liu Hen was secretly surprised: "The cold wind should not be able to blow in. This is simply tailor-made for the barbarians of this world."

The most important thing is that this clothing has a certain defensive effect.

Because when he tensed his muscles, the area outside the muscles would also become hard, as if it had really turned into hard bark.

'This... is incredible. The value far exceeds my previous estimate.'

Unfortunately, there are only clothes.

It would be perfect if there were pants to complete the set.

The only uncomfortable thing now is that the mud and dirt on my body is too thick, which affects the dressing experience.

But there is no condition to take a shower for the time being, so I can only make do with it for now.

He couldn't wait to return to the original place, carefully estimated the size required for Wu Yuanming's body shape, and then made another one.

A minute later, the second warm clothing appeared.

He took out the warm clothing and handed it to Heishi, saying, "Give it to Wu Yuanming and tell him what I said. Let him try it on and he'll understand what I mean. Also, remember to remind them that this clothing must be worn next to the skin, without any other clothing underneath. Return after giving the clothing to Wu Yuanming."

After a pause, he added, "Just say they were lucky. This dress has just been made. Use your words. Don't get it mixed up."

"Yes, my lord."

Heishi immediately walked out of the cave respectfully, holding the warm clothes in his hands. He came to the trading window and said to the Wu brothers and sisters waiting outside, "You are lucky. My master just made this clothes. My master said that Wu Yuanming should try it on."

Suddenly, the Wu brothers and sisters outside showed doubts.

Wu Yuanming seemed to have guessed something and said, "Since it is Master Liu Hen's order... Yuanxia, ​​bring the clothes."

Wu Yuanxia hurried over and took the clothes from Heishi.

"My parents also said that this dress must be worn next to the body and no other clothes can be worn underneath."

After saying this, Heishi turned and left.

"Hey, this dress...seems a little strange."

Wu Yuanxia was a little surprised: "It looks like bark, but it feels very soft to the touch, and feels..."

After a pause, she said doubtfully, "It feels a bit like the fur of a wild animal."

The others also touched it quickly and were immediately surprised.

"If my guess is correct, this dress should also be made by that adult using his abilities. I'm actually looking forward to it. Please help me block the wind."

Seeing that the skinny little girl had left, Wu Yuanming took off five shirts on the spot and put on his thermal clothes.

"Ok?"

His face changed slightly because the warm clothes he had just put on suddenly began to move.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Wu Yuanxia and others were shocked and thought that Liu Hen was going to do something bad to them because they also saw the clothes moving.

"Don't be nervous, it's a good thing."

Wu Yuanming spoke because he felt the clothes on his body slowly fitting his skin, gradually fitting perfectly with his skin, as if a new layer of skin had appeared outside his body.

However, this layer of skin has no feel to the touch and is more like a callus.

What’s even more amazing is that he is only wearing a thin piece of clothing, but he doesn’t feel cold at all.

Because this piece of clothing fits perfectly against the skin, the cold wind cannot get in at all.

Not only that, as time passed, instead of feeling cold, he felt his body warming up.

"This... is incredible. The warmth-retaining effect of this garment... is amazing!"

He picked up the rusty steel knife and swung it, finding it very flexible, much more flexible than before when he was wearing five pieces of clothing.

And soon, he discovered something even more incredible——

When he tensed his muscles, the outer part of the muscles became extremely hard, as if it had really turned into bark.

"This... can be used as defensive armor. Although the defensive power may not be as good as armor, it is definitely much stronger than ordinary clothes."

Wu Yuanming was shocked.

"Brother, how are you?"

The others hurriedly asked, and were very curious about the clothes made by this kind of psychic.

"This kind of clothing is tailor-made for us barbarians. If we had this kind of clothing, our efficiency in hunting monsters would definitely be greatly improved, but..."

Wu Yuanming said with a complicated look in his eyes: "I'm worried about the price. It's not something we can afford."
