Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 16: Black Iron Max, Demonic Tide

Chapter 16: Black Iron Max, Demonic Tide

After the Wu brothers and sisters left, Liu Hen hurriedly took the little black stone back to the cave.

After returning to the cave, he couldn't wait to start upgrading the Pickaxe of All Things.

"One hundred and sixty-six magic crystals, how many levels can the All Things Pickaxe be upgraded to?"

He was looking forward to it.

As he thought about it, seven pieces of iron ore and seven magic crystals disappeared out of thin air in the space backpack.

About a minute later, the Pickaxe of All Things was upgraded to level seven.

At this time, the number of space backpack grids has increased to seven.

Liu Hen did not stop there and chose to upgrade.

Another minute later, the Pickaxe of All Things was upgraded to level eight.

The space backpack also has eight slots.

"Can it be raised indefinitely? We already have 700 to 800 iron ore reserves."

Liu Hen looked forward to it while continuing to upgrade.

After a minute and a half, the Pickaxe of All Things reached level nine, and the space backpack grid also reached nine.

Finally, after another two minutes, the Pickaxe of All Things reached level ten, and the number of slots in the space backpack also reached ten.

But at this time, the upgrade materials have changed.

[Pickaxe of All Things (Black Iron Max) Lv.10 (Upgrade Requirements: One Copper Ore, 10 Magic Crystals)]

[Magic Crystal: 132]

[Space backpack: 10]

[Recipe: Creation Workbench (Bonfire, Bark Warm Clothes)]

"Maximizing Black Iron... I knew it wouldn't be that easy."

Liu Hen looked at the information in his mind: "Do I need copper ore for the next upgrade?"

He frowned secretly, because the original owner grew up in this area. In order to find food and all usable materials, he traveled hundreds of miles and was very familiar with every inch of land in this area.

However, even so, the original owner had never seen any copper mines in his memory.

If it really doesn't work, you can only leave this area.

"But there's no need to rush now. Ten space grids are enough for now."

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he looked at the creation workbench.

'Then use the remaining resources to upgrade the workbench.'

When I reached level two, a recipe for warm clothing appeared on the workbench.

Liu Hen is very much looking forward to it. What kind of formula will appear after level three?

He collected another three hundred pieces of iron ore piled on the ground and chose to upgrade the workbench.

The next moment, three hundred pieces of iron ore and three magic crystals disappeared at the same time.

And the countdown is... two hours.

'Why does it take so long to upgrade this Creation Workbench?'

Liu Hen was puzzled.

But it's only two hours, he can still wait.

'Try the collection speed of a max-level Black Iron pickaxe.'

Two hours is not long, but not short either.

While waiting, he took out the pickaxe and went to the end of the cave.

"Snapped!"

A pickaxe went down——

[Slag +10]

A large number of cracks appeared on the cave wall in front of him, and then a large amount of rubble fell down, forming a pit the size of a human head.

'Collection speed greatly improved!'

A deep smile flashed in Liu Hen's eyes.

In this way, the speed of digging holes will be greatly improved.

In the future, even if you encounter danger, you can escape by digging a hole.

At this moment, the bonfire suddenly went out and the cave became dark in an instant.

"My Lord, be careful..."

Heishi subconsciously stood in front of his master with a nervous look on his face.

Liu Hen was also startled at first, but he quickly reacted.

He patted Black Stone's head with relief and said, "It's just that the fuel is burned out. Come on, let's go get some fuel."

"fuel?"

Heishi suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief. She thought there was danger.

Liu Hen emptied his space backpack, leaving only ice cubes and tree cakes, and then recovered the campfire to prevent encountering monsters in the dark outside.

"Seven compartments can hold seven hundred pieces of wood, which is more than enough."

He immediately took Little Black Stone outside, dug a passage in the wall, asked Little Black Stone to stand guard, and began to collect wood.

……

In the darkness, the Wu brothers and sisters hurried on their way cautiously and quickly.

Although they are quite strong, especially their equipment is of much higher quality than that of ordinary barbarians, they are not worried even if they are robbed, but they are also very cautious.

Because they were in a hurry to sell the expensive goods this time, even if they encountered monsters, they did not hunt them, but just went around them.

Finally, after more than half an hour, they arrived at the Hongluo Camp.

Although it was late at night, there were only a few barren dwellers within a hundred miles, and unless there was a true destiny, it would be difficult to gather together. Therefore, the place was still deserted, with no one else besides the disabled barren dwellers waiting to die under the city wall.

"Hey, Wu brothers and sisters, did you bring back any treasures this time?"

Manager Chen was the first to open the door and greet him with a warm and friendly attitude, which was completely different from his previous attitude towards Liu Hen.

"Manager Chen, I hope I didn't disturb you?" Wu Yuanming said with a smile.

"Don't bother me, don't bother me. Wait, why are you wearing so little? Aren't you cold?"

When Manager Chen first saw the thin-looking clothes on Wu Yuanming, he immediately looked puzzled and asked, "Is there something unusual about this dress?"

You know, even during the early night, the surface temperature will not be higher than minus 20 degrees Celsius.

In such an environment, only the lowest class of people would wear so little. Those people have nothing to wear.

But the Wu brothers and sisters are different. It is impossible for them to be without clothes to wear, especially Wu Yuanming, the eldest brother.

The Wu brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled.

Wu Yuanming immediately said, "Manager Chen really has a keen eye for talent. We bought this dress from a long distance away, and it cost us quite a bit."

"Is there anything special about this dress?" Manager Chen asked curiously.

"Putting aside its special features, this piece of clothing was made by a person with supernatural powers." Wu Yuanming said mysteriously.

"A mutant?!"

Manager Chen's expression changed slightly, his curiosity growing even stronger. "Boss Wu, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly. What is so special about this dress that allows you to talk and laugh so calmly in such an extreme environment?"

"Manager Chen, let me tell you..."

Wu Yuanming immediately used his eloquence to talk about how much effort he and his companions had put in to finally meet the person with special abilities, and how much effort they had put in to finally get two pieces of such clothes.

What was originally a very ordinary experience was exaggerated by him.

Upon hearing this, Manager Chen's face flashed with surprise. "Just like bark protects the trunk, it can retain body heat and can also be used as armor? Is this true?"

He doesn't care about anything else, these two points are what he cares about most.

The reason why people in the camp are reluctant to go out is because their thermal protective clothing is too bulky. After leaving the camp, they feel very passive outside.

Once the protective clothing is damaged, they will not be able to withstand the extreme climate outside and will not be able to stay outside for a long time.

If they had such clothes, they might be able to leave the camp and even communicate with the neighboring camp.

"Manager Chen, you can try it on yourself first."

Wu Yuanming handed the extra set to Manager Chen.

Manager Chen didn't waste any time and took off his shirt and put on the bark warm clothes.

Soon, he was also shocked, and a serious look flashed across his face.

Because this kind of clothes deserves his careful treatment.

"How many magic crystals?" he asked straight to the point.

"Two hundred magic crystals." Wu Yuanming said immediately.

Although he looked calm on the outside, he was actually very nervous, worried that the people in the camp didn't need this kind of clothes.

"Two hundred?" Manager Chen frowned. "Too expensive."

Wu Yuanming also frowned. "Manager Chen, we brought these back from such a faraway place, and these clothes are already considered treasures. You should at least let us make some money, right? If we can make some money, we will make another trip and buy these clothes from that psychic."

"This...is true."

Manager Chen hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "If you sell me the one you're wearing, I'll give you two hundred each."

"what?"

The Wu brothers and sisters were all stunned.

But they did not hesitate and agreed immediately.

The transaction went unexpectedly smoothly, and the five people made a direct profit of 200 magic crystals.

After the transaction was completed, they bought fifty kilograms of tree cakes and left quickly.

After the Wu brothers and sisters left, Manager Chen took two pieces of bark warm clothes and entered the hollow mountain and found a powerful person.

"Sir, aren't you planning to organize a caravan to the next camp, but worried about lacking suitable protective clothing? This kind of clothing would be perfect..."

He passionately explained that he had paid a huge price to purchase these clothes from the wandering merchants. Finally, he said, "Sir, I have suffered a lot to help you find these clothes. You have to give me a little profit. After all, I have to eat. Five hundred magic crystals per piece will be enough... Later, I will definitely urge those wandering merchants to continue to obtain these clothes..."

……

"Brother, I have a feeling that the true value of that thermal jacket is more than two hundred magic crystals. Manager Chen agreed too readily."

In the darkness, the Wu brothers and sisters hurried on their way while talking in low voices.

"I know, but it's all done now."

Wu Yuanming felt a little annoyed, thinking that he had underestimated the value of the bark warm clothing.

He was about to continue speaking when his expression suddenly changed and he quickly squatted down.

The others also sensed something, their faces changed slightly, and they suddenly squatted down.

The next moment, a group of monsters were seen passing by not far away.

That’s right, a group!
Because visibility was too low and the monsters made no sound when walking, they had no idea of ​​their exact number.

But at least the number they saw now had reached hundreds.

There are many four-armed monsters among them.

They even saw a small number of six-armed monsters hiding among them.

"Is this... a demonic tide?!"

Cold sweat broke out on the five people's faces and their hearts felt cold.

Because they encountered a rare demonic tide.

This monster tide is composed of at least thousands of monsters. Wherever it passes, no life will survive.
