Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 30 Grand Welcome Ceremony

“Wow… so magical!!”

After entering the house, Xiao Heishi looked around curiously.

It is hard for outsiders to imagine that this house was built in just half an hour, including the five-meter-high wall outside.

"Pong!"

Liu Hen had an idea and lit the bonfire.

Suddenly the hut was brightly lit by fire, the flames dispelled the darkness and brought warmth.

"Rest first. You haven't rested for a long time. There's no rush for exercise. We need to save food right now."

Liu Hen said as he took out the workbench.

However, because there was no small iron ore available, he took out a large piece of iron ore and collected it into small iron ore.

Minor Iron Ore can now be collected much faster than before, with one swing of the Pickaxe collecting one block.

After spending more than ten minutes and collecting more than 600 small pieces of iron ore, the large iron ore in front of him, which was one meter long, wide and high, suddenly exploded and turned into a large amount of fine stones that fell to the ground.

"There are so many impurities."

Liu Hen sighed and thought to himself that if the bulk material was pure enough, a whole piece of large iron ore should contain a thousand small pieces of iron ore.

Now, a space backpack grid can hold up to two hundred pieces of large iron ore.

This means that if he doesn't waste money, he will not be short of iron ore for a long time.

'Um? '

Suddenly his ears moved and he vaguely heard the sound of dense footsteps.

But this time the footsteps were completely different from the previous madman's footsteps. It didn't sound like they came from two legs, but more like they came from four legs.

"It sounds a bit like horse hooves. Are there people riding horses? And there should be quite a few of them."

He couldn't help but go to the window on the side where the sound came from and look out, but there was a wall blocking his view and he couldn't see anything.

In fact, even if there was no wall blocking it, it would be impossible to see it, because it was late at night, and the sound of horse hooves should have come from hundreds of meters away.

"There are absolutely no horses in this area, so why are there so many people on horseback now?"

Liu Hen felt heavy-hearted and suddenly uneasy, as if something was going to happen.

"Could it be related to that peddler Hong Ming?"

Because Hong Ming was the first person on horseback that he saw after traveling here, he subconsciously thought of him.

"grown ups……"

At this time, Xiao Heishi in the corner hesitated and stammered, "The clothes... are getting tighter..."

"The clothes are getting tighter?"

Liu Hen was puzzled and turned around to look at the small black stone carefully.

He has been very busy during this period, and it is easy to overlook some subtle changes when spending so much time with her.

When he looked carefully at this time, he found that Xiao Heishi seemed to have grown a lot taller.

The original little black stone was at most 1.2 meters tall, but now it is at least 1.3 meters tall.

Not only did he grow taller, but his face also had a lot more flesh, and he no longer looked like a skeleton.

"Growing up so fast?"

He was a little surprised. Can a normal person grow so fast?
However, considering that Xiao Heishi's real age is much larger than his appearance, he was extremely malnourished because he only had one meal every few days.

Now that there is plenty of food, the sudden increase in growth rate seems reasonable.

"If you're not comfortable wearing it, take it off first and I'll make you another set."

As he spoke, he opened the production interface of the workbench, estimated the normal clothes for a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, and made a new set for Xiao Heishi.

"My Lord, I'm sorry for costing you so much."

Xiao Heishi looked guilty: "Actually...actually, I don't have to wear any clothes. I'm very cold-resistant."

"How can you not wear clothes? Humans are not animals, how can you not wear clothes?"

Liu Hen said, "You don't need anything else, but you have to wear clothes and pants. So, let's just leave it at that. Clothes and pants are already being made, so they won't consume much."

"Thank you, sir."

A rustling sound came from behind.

Liu Hen took the time to take a look and found that the changes in Xiao Heishi were more obvious after he took off his clothes.

Her original skinny appearance has completely disappeared. Although she looks very thin now, at least she looks like a human being.

However, it is still the type of rib protrusion, and it is still far from complete recovery.

Two minutes later, the clothes and pants were made again.

Liu Hen took out the clothes and pants and handed them to Xiao Heishi: "You are growing now, so I made them a little bigger this time. You can wear them for a while longer."

"Thank you, sir." Little Heishi was full of gratitude. The sir was so good to her that she didn't know how to repay him.

Liu Hen smiled and said, "You go and rest aside first. The warm boots and gloves will wait." "Yes, thank you, sir." Little Heishi nodded obediently. After putting on his clothes and pants, he walked to the corner, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.

Because wood was needed to make warm boots, Liu Hen took out another big piece of wood, used a pickaxe, and directly collected ten small pieces of wood.

With the materials, he immediately made warm boots and warm gloves for Xiao Heishi.

After the countdown began, he tried to open the fuel tank of the campfire, and found that big wood could also be used as fuel.

So he put the large piece of wood he had collected into the fuel tank.

The next moment, the bonfire's burning time increased directly to nine thousand nine hundred minutes.

"Equivalent to a large log that can keep a campfire burning for 10,000 minutes?"

Liu Hen was secretly surprised, because when he was collecting small pieces of wood, he could only collect two or three hundred small pieces of wood on average from a short and twisted tree.

As a result, using the large-scale material collection mode, three large pieces of wood can be collected at once, which is equivalent to three thousand small pieces of wood.

"So, collecting small pieces of wood will result in a lot of waste?"

He knew it.

It seems that it will be more cost-effective to mainly collect large amounts of materials in the future, and then collect small amounts of materials a second time when they are needed.

Soon, Xiao Heishi's warm boots and warm gloves were ready.

He took it out and let Little Black Stone put it on, then directly consumed six hundred pieces of iron ore and six magic crystals to upgrade the workbench.

This upgrade will take five hours.

Liu Hen didn't just sit there and wait. He took out a bowl of prepared tree cake paste and shared it with Xiao Heishi, then went straight to sleep.

……

In the pitch-black rocky mountain area, more than ten tall horses were galloping quickly, and on the back of each horse sat a person with a powerful aura.

"Zhang Wuyou, are you sure this is where the Yin Stone fell?"

A woman on the back of one of the horses said in a deep voice, "This matter is of great importance. I hope you won't lie to us, or the consequences will be beyond your ability to bear."

At the front, the strong Zhang Wuyou said coldly, "Would it be good for me to lie to you? I never thought of keeping such a treasure for myself. I don't want to be targeted by those arrogant and superior people with special abilities."

"It better be so!"

The woman who had spoken earlier said in a deep voice, "How much do you know about Yin Stone? You can't just grope around in the dark looking for it, right?"

"Near the Yin Stone, there will be Extreme Yang Branches or Extreme Yang Grass. We just need to follow these clues and slowly find our way there."

Zhang Wuyou replied: "There is a group of ground rats living here. They should know something."

"Extreme Yang Branch and Extreme Yang Grass?"

The woman thought for a moment, then asked, "According to the route we've taken, we should be almost at that underground gathering place for the human race. Do you have a plan?"

"Be polite first and then attack."

Zhang Wuyou said calmly, "If those ground rats were sensible, we could save some energy."

At this time, a halo appeared in front.

They continued to gallop on horseback without slowing down, getting closer and closer to the gathering place.

"Hey, what is that?"

Suddenly someone spoke.

The other people on horseback also noticed that huge steel bodies appeared above the city wall of the human gathering place in front of them.

"It seems like a backward exoskeleton. What do they want to do? Are they going to attack us?" Someone couldn't help laughing.

"I think they should be welcoming us. Even if these moles are backward, they are technologically advanced and should have discovered us in advance." The others also laughed.

"For these underground people, this welcome ceremony is quite grand." The woman who had spoken to Zhang Wuyou before also smiled.

Zhang Wuyou, who was at the front, was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed.

"boom--"

A cannonball suddenly shot out and exploded after hitting the ground, blowing three of the horses into pieces.

"Get out of the way..."

The others were so frightened that they jumped high and dodged frantically.

However, one of them was unable to dodge and was torn into pieces along with his horse.

This group of people were confused. They had just arrived here and hadn't done anything yet.

"How dare they?!" the woman was furious.

However, before they landed, more shells flew out of the city wall, directly illuminating the darkness of the area.

"These rats don't know how to live or die!!"

Zhang Wuyou's face was icy cold: "Kill them! These guys definitely know something. Just leave some alive!"

After the remaining people landed, they dispersed immediately, dodging the shells and rushing towards the city wall.
