Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 49 The Demon Has Something to Say
"You should be able to trust me now, right?"

Chang Xin walked out of the darkness and put hundreds of kilograms of horse meat on the ground with a proud look on his face.

Zong Ni and Chen Ye caught up, and although they were very reluctant, they still put the horse head and some small pieces of meat in their hands on the ground.

When the Wu brothers and sisters saw those pieces of meat, their eyes suddenly lit up and they looked eager.

However, thinking of their own identities, they quickly suppressed their longing eyes and did not dare to embarrass their masters.

Liu Hen glanced at Chang Xin deeply, then put away the bonfire and continued on his way with the Wu brothers and sisters: "The fire will definitely attract more danger. Let's leave here first."

"Indeed, I sensed a large number of monsters heading this way."

Chang Xin picked up the horse meat again and followed with Zong Ni and Chen Ye.

After the few people walked away, a large number of monsters rushed to the place where they were before and occupied it.

After walking several thousand meters in one breath, Chang Xin finally spoke: "You should have another companion, right? Do you want to call him out to meet you?"

During this time, she kept looking around, suspecting that the little girl was nearby, but she couldn't find her.

Even though she used the previous tracking methods, she couldn't find the little girl's location, which was very strange.

Liu Hen knew that Chang Xin was talking about the small black stone. The other party actually knew the existence of the small black stone... In addition, the other party could find him quickly in the dark, which also made him very concerned.

"What was that ability you had before?" he asked.

Chang Xin didn't care about Liu Hen's attempt to change the subject and answered sincerely, "My ability is [Silver Armor Queen]. I can pardon soldiers. Currently, I can only pardon one, but I have a feeling that as my ability grows, I'll be able to pardon more. Previously, I used temporary pardons, but permanent pardons require the other party's willingness."

She brought up the past again: "Let's cooperate. You have seen my abilities. With your help, I can grant you permanent strength, making your combat power even stronger and giving you greater self-defense capabilities."

"As long as you agree, you will be my number one soldier, but don't worry, what I said before still counts. We are equals."

She looked at Liu Hen expectantly: "If we work together, great things will definitely happen. We will definitely find a way to seize the resources of the people in the camp so that everyone on the surface can have food to eat."

Zong Ni, Chen Ye, and the Wu brothers and sisters in the back couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

This ambition was too great, and they didn't dare to talk to him at all.

"Your ability..."

Liu Hen asked curiously, "Pardoning the soldiers, does that consume your strength to maintain it, or?"

"The temporary amnesty consumes my strength to maintain."

Chang Xin replied, "But a permanent pardon doesn't consume my strength. It's a kind of... contract? I think it should be considered a contract. I've heard of this term before."

After a pause, she continued to explain, "After being permanently pardoned, the pardoned person needs to rely on their own strength to condense the battle armor. The battle armor is their source of power, and it can be continuously improved. As for how far they can be improved in the end, it depends on their own efforts."

"Can it be continuously improved?"

"This……"

"Sister Chang is so capable!"

The two daughters Zong Ni and even the Wu brothers and sisters in the back were a little stunned, and a look of desire could not help but flash in their eyes.

Although after being pardoned, it seems that only their physical strength has increased, which is completely incomparable to real psychics, it is enough for them to have the ability to protect themselves in the night fog world.

Unfortunately, Chang Xin looked down on them at all. Her first choice was Liu Hen, who was also a psychic.

"It can be continuously improved..."

Liu Hen had to admit that Chang Xin's ability was very strong, even extremely strong.

If the other party could pardon enough soldiers, maybe they could really... bullshit.

The other party is very ambitious and actually wants to ensure that everyone on the surface has food to eat.

To achieve this, strength alone is not enough.

Because the overall environmental restrictions are too severe, crops cannot be grown on the surface. I don’t know how the people in the camp get food.

The underground holds extremely terrifying nightmares, and people on the surface may not be able to adapt to life underground in a short period of time.

He also didn't know whether Chang Xin suddenly became a superpower and became mentally unbalanced and arrogant after possessing supernormal powers, or whether she really had ulterior motives.

But judging from the current situation, it would be extremely difficult to achieve that goal.

Because there are so many subordinates, they definitely need a lot of food to feed them.

Of course, the prerequisite is that Chang Xin can really pardon more soldiers in the future. Just one or two, or even... hundreds or thousands of them will be useless.

Hundreds or thousands of strong men could only occupy a piece of land and become the king of the mountain. But as the saying goes, without food, everything is meaningless.

"Have you seen other people with super powers?" Liu Hen asked.

He had previously suspected that Hong Ming might be a person with supernatural powers.

But now he was not sure, because it seemed that one did not have to be a mutant to possess powerful strength.

He was not sure whether his golden finger was a supernatural power.

But judging from Chang Xin's performance, if all the superpowers in this world have similar magical powers, then their status must be very high, and it is impossible for them to walk around outside.

"No."

Chang Xin shook her head: "I've heard of people with special abilities before. Those... well, people like us all have very high status. Except for those who have just awakened like us, everyone else is almost always worshipped by powerful forces and it's impossible for them to walk around outside."

Liu Hen also thought so. He once again felt that the number of people with superpowers in this world should be very small.

"By the way, have you seen those people on horseback?"

He asked again, "Those people have metal in their bodies, like cyborgs. Could this also be the work of psychics?"

"A masterpiece of a superpower?"

Chang Xin was surprised: "Now that you mention it, it does look a bit like him. But I'm not sure, because I haven't awakened for long and have never seen that kind of cyborg before."

Those modified humans are obviously outsiders.

At this time, a monster appeared in front of her blocking the road. She put down the horse meat, rushed forward and started punching and kicking, easily killing the monster blocking the road.

After picking up the magic crystal, she returned to her original spot and picked up the horse meat again. As she walked, she asked, "Where are you going?"

"This area is unsafe. Let's leave first."

Liu Hen did not directly state his destination as the two parties were not that familiar with each other.

“Yes, there were very few people here before.”

Chang Xin was also worried: "There are too many strong people, and my plan will be even more difficult to complete."

As she spoke, she looked at Liu Hen and said, "Can you use your ability to carry things? Put the horse meat in it."

"Aren't you afraid that I won't return it to you?" Liu Hen raised his eyebrows.

"We are already one family. As my first soldier, what's mine is yours, right?" Chang Xin said without changing his expression.

"...I didn't agree to it, and your pardon must have limits. I'm not interested in this kind of power."

Liu Hen was speechless, but did not refuse. He waved his hand and took the horse meat from Chang Xin's hand, and then took the minced meat from Zong Ni and Chen Ye's hands.

"Your ability is so convenient."

Chang Xin's eyes became even more passionate, and she increasingly believed that Liu Hen was the first helper she needed.

Having this ability to help carry supplies would save her a lot of energy.

Liu Hen ignored Chang Xin's fiery gaze. As a time traveler, he was also proud, and he could also be considered a person with superpowers, so it was impossible for him to be inferior to others.

At least from the current situation, his golden finger is stronger than Chang Xin's ability, not weaker.

The only difference is that the blessing of a complete thermal suit seems to be fixed and needs to be upgraded by yourself.

"Sir, there's another demon approaching. It didn't come near this side. It might have sensed my presence."

Suddenly, Xiao Heishi's slightly puzzled voice sounded in Liu Hen's mind: "It seems to have something to say to me."

Liu Hen frowned and waved to everyone to stop.

Chang Xin was puzzled and was about to speak when her expression suddenly changed slightly.

Because in her vision, a large area of ​​darkness swept in like a tide, and an oppressive atmosphere was approaching.

A strong sense of crisis made her subconsciously want to summon the armor, but suddenly Liu Hen held her shoulders and said, "Don't stimulate it yet."
