Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 72 Hong Ming's Traces

In just a few minutes, Liu Hen returned to the vicinity of the camp.

He did not stop quietly, but jumped up in a very high-profile manner, crossed hundreds of meters directly, and landed accurately on top of the city wall.

"grown ups……"

When Wu Yuanming and others saw Liu Hen coming back, they hurriedly saluted. It was obvious that they had learned about the previous situation from Chang Xin.

The barbarians who had just entered the camp below heard the sound and looked at him in awe.

"Is he the mysterious psychic from Campfire?"

Many people saw Liu Hen for the first time, and they subconsciously remembered this face so as not to offend him accidentally.

Liu Hen looked around and found Chang Xin's position, then jumped up again, his body flying more than ten meters into the air and landing on the inner wall.

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Chang Xin walked over and asked, looking at the man in front of her with complicated eyes.

She originally thought that she had almost figured out this man's methods, but he kept doing things that surprised her.

Just like this time's super jumping ability and the attack method that suddenly fell from the sky, they have never been shown before.

Liu Hen nodded and said, "I have an opportunity here. It may be helpful for your future conquest of the world. Do you want to try it?"

"What opportunity?" Chang Xin's heart moved and she asked hurriedly.

"Manage the campfire camp."

Liu Hen said: "I am too lazy to manage these troublesome matters, but I don't want to see a messy camp, so I will give you this authority. What you need to do is to make sure that anyone entering the camp behaves properly, such as not littering or urinating or defecating casually. Urinating and defecating is..."

Worried that Chang Xin wouldn't understand, he explained what urination and defecation meant, then continued, "In short, you need to keep the camp in good order. You can even organize people to make money or find other resources."

At this point, a barely perceptible smile flashed across his eyes. "If you can manage the camp well enough, I might give you a surprise when you officially start conquering the world. Of course, I won't be your number one general, but some other surprise."

"Managing the camp?"

Chang Xin was surprised: "Are you willing to give me this authority completely?"

For her, this was a huge power, because from then on, apart from the real celebrities around Liu Hen, she was the undisputed second in command of the camp.

"That depends on whether you can do it to my satisfaction."

Liu Hen said, "Don't think this is easy. To some extent, defending a kingdom is more difficult than conquering it, because you need to strike a balance. Otherwise, it will easily lead to dissatisfaction. All kinds of trivial matters can make you worry to death, and may even affect your speed of becoming stronger."

"I will work hard!"

Chang Xin took a deep breath and once again regarded this matter as a test from Liu Hen, and also as a tempering.

If you can't even manage a small camp, how are you going to manage a large number of subordinates in the future?

"I won't give you much support. If you want something, exchange it for magic crystals."

Liu Hen said: "If you have that ability, you can organize the entire camp to earn magic crystals for you."

"..."

Although Chang Xin felt something was wrong, she still nodded seriously.

"Well, come on, I'm rooting for you."

Liu Hen immediately jumped off the wall, returned to his home building, and continued to make warm clothes.

"The price of flint is one hundred magic crystals per kilogram, which is equivalent to one kilogram of thermal underwear. Captain Tong Kun left behind ten tons of flint, which is ten thousand kilograms..."

That’s 10,000 pieces of warm clothing!
This is a big order. If we didn't work day and night, it would take at least ten days to make all 10,000 thermal jackets.

I have to say that flint is really expensive. Fortunately, the ten tons I had before were enough for me to use for a long time, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome.

In addition to the 10,000 thermal jackets, we may need to trade a large amount of copper ore with the Copper Dragon Camp in the future, so we need to make more.

Copper ore is much cheaper. One piece of thermal clothing can be exchanged for 100 kilograms, and ten pieces can be exchanged for one ton.

In the next few days, Liu Hen spent most of his time making warm clothes. Fortunately, he had stored a large amount of tree bark during this period, otherwise it might not be enough.

Because thermal clothing cannot be cooked in large quantities at one time like food, you can only make one piece in one minute, so you have to take your time.

The food could be cooked much faster, so he made a lot of carbohydrate porridge and put it in the two storage cabinets outside to ensure that there was not enough.

It is worth mentioning that Chang Xin is a woman with some abilities. Even though she was born in a barbaric family, talent is something that is really mysterious.

In just a few days, she managed to make the barbarians living in the camp behave well.

Although the use of force was inevitable during the period, no casualties were caused, and that is enough.

It is also worth mentioning that after Hu Jinshi held on for two days, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and entered the camp with the old and young in the scavenging team.

At this point, the population in the campfire camp, including Liu Hen and others, has exceeded forty people.

That day, Liu Hen prepared five hundred servings of carbohydrate porridge, walked out of the inner camp, and went outside to replenish the food in the locker outside.

"Liu Hen, you came at the right time. Something unexpected happened today."

Zong Ni, who was guarding here, said, "A lot of people have come outside, and the nutritious porridge we had before is almost sold out."

"Oh?"

Liu Hen was surprised. He had been putting some carbohydrate porridge in his locker every day recently. He had put at least a thousand servings in total. And in just four or five days, they were all sold out?

He immediately checked the magic crystals in the locker and found that more than 500 magic crystals had been added to the locker in just one day.

"What's happening here?"

He put the 500 servings of carbohydrate porridge he had just made into the pot and put away the magic crystal inside, and asked curiously.

"Not long ago, a peddler showed up and bought over 400 copies at once."

Zong Ni said: "The other party seems to have something magical like a locker that can hold a lot of things."

"A traveling merchant? Just one?" Liu Hen was surprised.

The first person he thought of was the traveling merchant Hong Ming.

But the glowing medicinal material that Hong Ming had taken out from the horse's back did not seem to have the ability to store things.

"Yes, one."

Zong Ni answered affirmatively: "Yes, he introduced himself as Hong Ming."

"It turned out to be him."

Liu Hen was a little surprised, but not particularly surprised.

He had previously suspected that Hong Ming might be a person with superpowers, but since he learned about the existence of cyborgs, his doubts about Hong Ming being a person with superpowers were immediately dispelled.

However, now he had some doubts again. The other party might really be a person with superpowers, but he was fearless, or he was just fishing, so he did not put those glowing herbs into the storage space.

Now that I think about it, there should be quite a few modified humans from outside, but it seems that they all suffered great losses in the Hongluo camp.

As a result, Hong Ming alone caused chaos in the Hongluo camp and probably killed quite a few people, causing heavy losses to the entire Hongluo camp.

From this point of view, Hong Ming's strength is far beyond that of the cyborg.

At this time, Chang Xin, who had just finished her work, came over and said, "I was just about to look for you. A person with special abilities just passed by, but I saw that he had no ill intentions, so I didn't notify you immediately."

"A person with superpowers?!" Zong Ni was shocked.

However, when she thought that there were two people with superpowers in front of her, and that both of them were very kind to her, she immediately calmed down.

"Where is he now?"

Liu Hen opened the door and took a look, but saw no one outside.

"That person must have sensed my presence, so he bought something and left. I didn't dare to chase him out." Chang Xin replied.

Liu Hen subconsciously touched his chin. For some reason, he always felt that there was something wrong with Hong Ming's behavior.

"Do you know that person with special abilities?" Chang Xin, who was good at observing people's expressions, asked hurriedly.

"I guess we know each other, but only once."

Liu Hen explained: "When we first met, he mistook me for some underground human. Speaking of which, do you know anything about underground human beings?"

"Underground people?"

Chang Xin said, "I overheard people from the Hongluo Camp talking about a magnificent city built on the surface in the distance. Captain Tong Kun also mentioned something about a huge city on the surface not long ago, so I thought we were truly underground people... Of course, to be more precise, we were the people from the camps that lived in the caves, like the Hongluo Camp."

This answer surprised Liu Hen a little.

If this is the truth, then the so-called underground people are actually normal humans, but they live in a different environment.

"Pay attention during this period. If that Hong Ming appears again, remember to alert me immediately."

He looked at Chang Xin and said, "That Hong Ming asked me to trade the Extreme Yang Branch and Extreme Yang Grass. Do you know what these things are?"

"Extreme Yang Branch and Extreme Yang Grass?"

Chang Xin recalled carefully, then shook her head: "I've never heard of these two names."

"Then you should pay more attention. I suspect the trouble at the Red Snail Camp may be caused by these two things."

Liu Hen warned: "Those outsiders are most likely coming for these two things."

"I'll pay attention." Chang Xin nodded seriously.

Liu Hen felt that it might be time to improve the strength of some of his men.

During this period, Wu Yuanming and others remained diligent and loyal to their duties. Those guys knew that they were people with special abilities and were unlikely to give up their bright future and betray themselves.

And now he has enough means to suppress those guys, including Chang Xin.

So, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, maybe we can give those guys a complete set.

"Let's first see what kind of outfit we can create by making a warm headgear from the core of an ordinary evergreen tree."

After returning to the home building, Liu Hen started working directly.
