Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 66 Lockers

'Is it the Earth? And perhaps it is of the same kind as you?'

Liu Hen was confused and asked Xiao Heishi why he had such a feeling.

However, this time Xiao Heishi couldn't answer, perhaps because he was not well-informed and didn't know what words to use to describe that feeling.

"You're now... already a spirit, essentially a demon. If we're the same kind, it's probably because of this, right?" Liu Hen asked.

"That should be the case." Little Black Stone was not sure either.

Liu Hen felt that his guess was correct, but Xiao Heishi actually said that the monster she saw seemed to be the "earth", which made him puzzled.

Finally, the camp was in sight.

Before he got close, Chang Xin came to the wall and waved at him with a happy look on her face.

Judging from the other party's surprised expression, if she could open the door, she would probably want to go out and greet her in person.

Liu Hen nodded slightly, walked quickly to the entrance of the city gate, pushed open the door and walked in.

"grown ups……"

"Sir, you are finally back."

"Liu...Liu Hen, are you okay?"

The Wu siblings and Zong Ni's two daughters all hurried forward to greet them.

"Did something happen? Why did you take so long?" Chang Xin also asked.

Liu Hen went out just as the early night arrived, and now it has been late at night for some time.

"It's okay, I just encountered some good materials and was delayed for a while."

Liu Hen smiled and said, "You guys continue patrolling as normal. I'll be busy now."

A lot of copper ore was dug this time. He suspected that it might be more than a hundred pieces. Perhaps all the materials for upgrading the Creation Workbench were enough.

He couldn't wait to see what recipes were available on the bronze-level creation workbench.

Chang Xin originally wanted to say that she and the others had not eaten yet, and the food was all on you.

However, seeing that Liu Hen was excited and seemed to be in a hurry to do something, and that she and others had been able to eat a full meal almost every day during this period, she held back.

After returning to the house, Liu Hen didn't even bother to eat. He took out the copper ore he had collected before and used the pickaxe to collect it into small pieces.

[Slag +4]

Copper Ore +3

Because it is not pure copper ore, it contains too many impurities.

Liu Hen patiently collected it into small pieces of pure material, including not only stones but also soil.

After a few minutes, the complete large piece of material was collected.

As expected, he obtained more than one hundred small copper ores, plus those he had collected before, a total of more than one hundred and eighty pieces.

"The Creation Workbench can finally be upgraded to bronze level."

Liu Hen was excited and had been looking forward to the bronze-level workbench for a long time.

Without any delay, he went straight to the workbench and chose to upgrade.

One hundred small pieces of copper ore disappeared directly, and one hundred magic crystals were also consumed.

Fortunately, we obtained enough magic crystals from the previous war, otherwise it would not be enough. Unfortunately, there are not many opportunities to obtain magic crystals in large quantities.

"It seems we'll need to obtain magic crystals from others in the future. Hunting monsters on our own is a waste of time and inefficient."

Liu Hen was secretly planning in his mind.

The most important thing is that almost all the monsters nearby were cleared out in the previous battle. In a short period of time, monsters from other places will not wander over, and they will not be able to find any monsters they want to hunt.

"I wonder how monsters are born? Are they also bred through mating?"

The thought flashed through his mind.

At this time, the upgrade countdown for the Creation Workbench began - ten hours.

"It won't take too long. The upgrade should be complete by the time you wake up."

But it’s not time to go to bed yet, because the bonfire in the house can be raised to two levels.

The level of the bonfire is limited by the level of the Pickaxe of All Things. Now the level of the Pickaxe of All Things is Bronze Level 5, but the bonfire is only Constant Temperature Level 3.

Liu Hen immediately used large logs and magic crystals as materials to upgrade the bonfire.

A minute later, the bonfire in front of him reached the constant temperature level 4, and the protection radius increased to 40 meters.

He didn't stop there and continued to upgrade.

Another minute passed, the constant temperature bonfire reached level five, and the protection radius increased to fifty meters.

There was no noticeable change inside the house, and there was no new information about the campfire upgrade data, but Chang Xin and others outside could clearly feel the changes.

The increased visibility from the campfire was now even more pronounced.

Even in the corner where the bonfire on the wall could not reach, visibility was significantly increased.

Not only that, the temperature within the constant temperature radius decreases with distance, so Chang Xin and others outside can feel that the surrounding temperature is slowly rising and becoming warmer.

Even the cold wind in the middle of the night suddenly became warm once it entered this range.

"Has his ability become stronger, or is there some other reason?"

Chang Xin was shocked and confused.

……

"There are still more than eighty copper ore pieces left..."

Inside the house, Liu Hen was wondering whether to continue upgrading the Pickaxe of Everything or keep it.

After careful consideration, he decided to keep it in case copper ore was included in the production materials after the recipe for the Home Cannon came out.

Having been busy all day, he was now hungry and sleepy. After finishing his work, he casually ate a bowl of carbohydrate porridge and then fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, it was already early night outside.

Liu Hen couldn't wait to come to the creation workbench and found that there were only a few minutes left in the upgrade countdown.

"Soon, we'll see the recipe for the Homeland Cannon soon."

The recipe for the Home Cannon doesn't come with the Creation Workbench upgrade, but rather appears after the All Things Pickaxe is upgraded to Bronze. However, due to the level limit of the Workbench, this recipe has never appeared.

"Oh, by the way, I collected another tree core last night. I'll make a thermal suit later. Let's see what the effect of the thermal suit made from the tree core of the Earth Evergreen Tree is."

He is still very much looking forward to the effects of the new set.

Because he suspected that the demon that was divided into many parts was of great significance.

Even if it is impossible to restore the ability of the plant demon, the effect of the warm suit made from the tree core of the plant demon should be able to give us a glimpse of it.

Finally, the countdown ended and the Creation Workbench was upgraded to bronze level.

The change is very obvious. The original inky black workbench has turned into bronze, and the grade has suddenly changed.

However, apart from the color, there are not many other changes on the surface.

Bronze Creation Workbench Level 1: Requirements: 200 Copper Ore, 200 Magic Crystals; Upgrading unlocks more recipes.

This is the upgrade data.

Liu Hen opened the production interface and looked at the new recipe.

This sight immediately made him overjoyed.

Because the storage cabinet he wanted most appeared in the recipe.

[Recipe: Bonfire, Warm Suit, Tang Sword, Bow and Arrow, Black Powder, Fragmentation Grenade, Home Cannon, Smokeless Powder, Cannonball, Locker)]

Even without counting the Home Cannon recipe, three new recipes appeared when the workbench was upgraded to bronze level.

The three new formulas are:

Smokeless powder, shells, and storage lockers.

Liu Hen first looked at the recipe for the Home Cannon and found that the production materials were as expected, copper ore, and a full thousand pieces were needed, although they were only small pieces.

"It seems we have to wait for the caravan from the Bronze Dragon Camp to arrive again before we can make it."

There is no need to be too anxious about this right now because there are no strong enemies lurking around.

He turned to look at the formula for smokeless powder.

The formula for smokeless gunpowder is actually four ingredients of black powder.

"Does this mean it needs to be purified?"

He continued to look down.

The formula for the artillery shells is one part smokeless gunpowder and one hundred pieces of small copper ore, and what is produced is a whole box of artillery shells, a total of one hundred.

'This is a very good value for money.'

It takes four parts of black powder to make one part of smokeless powder, which means four parts of black powder can make a box of artillery shells.

Finally, there is the storage cabinet. Liu Hen also has high expectations for this formula.

And this recipe did not disappoint him at all.

Because lockers can be made into different levels.

The most basic one is the wooden cabinet, which can be made with only one hundred small pieces of wood and a magic crystal.

The wooden cabinet has ten storage grids. The amount of things that can be put in each grid, like the space backpack, will change with the level of the pickaxe.

Next is a black iron cabinet with thirty compartments.

The materials for making a black iron cabinet are a wooden cabinet, one hundred pieces of iron ore, and ten magic crystals.

On top of the black iron cabinet, there is a bronze cabinet.

There are sixty space grids inside the bronze cabinet. The materials for making it are a black iron cabinet plus one hundred pieces of copper ore, plus one hundred magic crystals.

From this perspective, it seems that wooden cabinets have a higher cost-effectiveness than iron cabinets and copper cabinets.

Because making ten wooden cabinets only consumes ten magic crystals.

The ten wooden cabinets have a total of one hundred storage compartments and can store more supplies than a bronze cabinet.

But that's not the case, because wooden cabinets are too fragile and easily damaged.

In addition, storage cabinets can only be placed in home buildings, and the size of home buildings is limited. If too many wooden cabinets are made, it will take up too much space.

One last point is that it is introduced after the recipe: although the locker containing things can also be put into the space backpack, a space backpack can only accommodate one locker.

In this case, of course the higher-end cabinets are better, otherwise there won’t be enough space for the backpack.

"With a locker, the space backpack will definitely be enough, and there's no need to rush to upgrade the pickaxe."

Liu Hen thought that the upgrade of the Pickaxe of All Things would allow him to repair his injuries.

Before he could upgrade the Pickaxe of All Things above the bronze level, he decided to keep some levels to prevent himself from getting hurt.

"Don't worry about anything else, let's make a locker first and see."

He put in a hundred small pieces of wood and a magic crystal.

A minute later, the wooden cabinet was made.

He chose to receive it and not take it out to look at it, but directly used it as material, and put in one hundred small pieces of iron ore and ten magic crystals to make a black iron cabinet.

Another minute later, the black iron cabinet was made.

Because there is not enough copper ore, the highest level of storage cabinets that can be produced for the time being is Black Iron.

Liu Hen took out the cabinet.

Like the bonfire, the cabinet also needs to be placed with the ability of the golden finger, otherwise the storage function will not take effect.

He placed the black iron cabinet in the corner.

With a "click", a black cabinet with a metallic luster appeared.

The cabinet is not big, only 30 centimeters thick, 50 centimeters wide, and only one meter high.

There is a double door on the surface, but this double door cannot be opened. The way to use it is to transfer items with mind.

'what? '

Suddenly, Liu Hen discovered a permission setting in the locker function.
