Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Indeed, as Xia Hong had predicted, less than ten days after Luo Yuan's breakthrough, Zhao Long also broke through. Following closely behind were Xia Chuan, Zhao Hu, and Zhao Bao, all of whom reached the Earth-Digging Realm within the subsequent twenty days.

More importantly, during this process, the number of people in the reserve force breaking through to the Lumbering Realm continued to rise steadily.

By the time Zhao Bao, the youngest of the Zhao brothers, broke through to the Earth-Digging Realm, the number of Lumbering Realm cultivators in the camp had increased from 110 to 140. Moreover, according to Xia Hong's observations of the reserve force, this trend was still ongoing.

The reserve force had a full 302 people, and only 109 have broken through so far. With the same standard supply of Frostbeast meat, breakthroughs would occur at different times due to talent, but the staggered time would not be too long.

It was foreseeable that in the near future, the remaining 193 people would break through, so the current cycle of Lumbering Realm increase in the camp was far from over.

The rapid increase in the number of Lumbering Realm cultivators brought obvious benefits.

Firstly, the rate of wood accumulation almost doubled. It could be said that under Da Xia's current population size, wood was no longer an issue at all. There was only surplus, and there would be no more shortages.

Secondly, Mu Dong's craftsman workshop and Xia Chuan's camp supply station were no longer just staffed by the three of them. Both institutions selected some people from those in the Lumbering Realm according to their respective needs.

Finally, there were more and more people working in the valley.

Sorting wood, cleaning the valley environment, logging outside, exploring the surrounding environment with the logging team, cooperating with the craftsmen to make tools, cooperating with the hunting team to process Frostbeasts, cooperating with the camp supply station to organize the warehouse... ...

These things seemed simple.

But in reality, people without Lumbering Realm cultivation simply couldn't do them.

Just take the simple task of sorting wood. Those large trees weighing thousands of pounds at every turn, you simply can't move them if your basic strength doesn't meet the standard, even if you give you a knife, you can't cut them.

If you can't even break the wood, let alone make tools with ironware.

Even Mu Dong, before breaking through to the Lumbering Realm some time ago, had to ask the logging team for help when making accessories for new wooden houses.

From the beginning, Xia Hong suspected that the Lumbering Realm was the bottom line for humans in the Ice Abyss World. Anyone who didn't reach this realm simply didn't even have the qualification to survive without relying on the strong.

Not to mention going out to log or doing many other things.

Although there were still a lot of practical problems in front of him.

However, the increasingly busy scene in the valley camp made Xia Hong feel very fulfilled, feeling that his efforts during this period had not been in vain.

Five consecutive months of high-intensity crazy hunting, what he paid was not only energy and fatigue, whether it was him or the other fifteen members of the hunting team, they all had a lot of real scars on their bodies.

Moreover, others had even experienced several situations where they almost lost their lives.

If Xia Hong hadn't strictly controlled the hunting range within 500 meters of the periphery, and with the addition of Golden Sore Ointment, the hunting team would have had a high probability of casualties.

Perhaps it was because Xia Hong, as the leader, set a good example. Almost no one in the camp who broke through to the Lumbering Realm was idle in the evening.

Either follow Cheng Feng to go logging;

Or help out in the craftsman's workshop;

There was no need for Xia Hong to arrange the digging of ground piles. As long as the iron smelting furnace burned coal, someone would immediately take over the idle tools and start digging.

At worst, they would help sort wood and clean the valley in the valley.

People all have a攀比psychology. The more than one hundred people who broke through first created such a hot atmosphere, which aroused the higher enthusiasm for cultivation among the remaining reserve personnel who had not yet broken through.

Not to mention proving their value, even the fact that they could go out after breaking through was enough to make them envious.

The reserve team was like this, let alone the remaining ten people in the hunting team.

Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan and the other five people broke through, and there were only five sets of the ten sets of clothes in the Earth-Digging Realm that had been promised before. For the remaining five sets of clothes, they were more motivated to practice. Whether they were going out hunting or staying in the camp, they were secretly cheering themselves up, for fear that they would break through slowly and the clothes would be taken by others first.

Xia Hong didn't make any more changes to the camp, nor did he specifically sort out the affairs of the four institutions of the logging team, hunting team, camp supply station, and craftsman workshop, but let the camp continue to maintain this atmosphere.

Of course, it wasn't that he didn't do anything. In order for the construction of the new wooden house to start as soon as possible, he also reduced the frequency of hunting and took Xia Chuan and the other four to specifically free up time to mine and dig ground piles.

One month after Zhao Bao broke through.

Xia Hong, who led the hunting team back to the camp after a long journey, was approached by Mu Dong before he even entered the wooden house.

After hearing a few words from Mu Dong, a look of joy suddenly appeared on Xia Hong's face. After thinking for a moment, he turned to Xia Chuan behind him and said, "Chuan, go and gather all the people above the Lumbering Realm in the camp and have them all gather at the wooden house."

"Yes, leader!"

After letting Xia Chuan notify the others, Xia Hong quickly walked into the wooden house and sat directly on the wooden chair next to the iron smelting furnace.

【Camp: Da Xia (Level 0)】

【Lord: Xia Hong】

【Territory Population: 902】

【Resources: Wood 52905 Coal 230 Iron 150 Silver 0 Gold 0】

【Opened Buildings 4: Iron Smelting Furnace (Level 2) Wooden Dummy (Level 1) Decoction Pot (Level 1) Sharpening Stone (Level 1)】

【Unopened Buildings 5: Green Bamboo Fence, Marking Stone, Loess Land, Small Wooden Table, Coarse Iron Chain】

Opening the camp system interface and seeing the data of the three resources of wood, coal, and iron, Xia Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there wasn't much coal and iron left, it was at least stabilized.

It not only supplied the consumption of materials for the new wooden house, but also, as more and more people participated in mining, there was a slight surplus.

For the current camp, this was already very good.

Six Earth-Digging Realms can produce 1200 catties of coal per day, and the daily output of iron is 600 catties, which is converted into 60 units in the system.

It is said that 60 units of coal or iron per day, after a month, Xia Hong's coal and iron resources should not be just this little.

But the actual situation is much more complicated than expected.

It was impossible for Xia Hong to only bring people to mine. Hunting activities still had to be carried out, and the camp's demand for Frostbeast meat was still there.

Although he wanted to hand over the hunting task, Xia Chuan and the other five had only just broken through not long ago, and their strength and experience were not sufficient. Xia Hong would definitely have to wait and see for a while longer.

The instability in the hunting process was too high, and the camp was currently short of resources. It would be unacceptable for Xia Hong to lose any of these five Earth-Digging Realms.

There was already a lot of Frostbeast meat reserves, so this month, Xia Hong only took ten nights for hunting, and the remaining twenty nights were used for coal mining, and the other half was used for iron mining.

At present, the vast majority of coal and iron in the camp were all used for the construction of the new wooden house.

Iron ore was used to make tools or to make accessories for new wooden houses; coal was mostly put into the iron smelting furnace to soften the ground, allowing more Lumbering Realms to participate in digging ditches and increasing the speed of hitting ground piles.

"The ground piles will be finished soon. When the new house is built, the accumulation speed of coal and iron resources should be able to increase. At that time, should I upgrade the building first, or should I exchange for the other buildings first?

No, no, no, there will be more and more people breaking through the Earth-Digging Realm. I should make weapons first, and I have to quickly make a batch of animal traps to continue to reduce the difficulty of hunting, and there are also some iron tools, which are also in short supply now... ..."

Xia Hong helplessly found that there were too many places in the camp to use iron and coal. The four buildings that had already been opened in the system, no matter which one, the coal and iron required for upgrading, for him, in a short period of time, he didn't even need to think about it.

Among the four buildings, the one that consumes the least resources to upgrade is the iron smelting furnace.

Upgrading from level two to level three requires 2000 wood and 5000 iron.

Wood is certainly not a problem, but 5000 units of iron, even if he took Xia Chuan and the five Earth-Digging Realms, doing nothing else, only mining iron ore, would take at least about three months.

Six Earth-Digging Realms, doing nothing else, only mining iron ore, this is not realistic in itself, not to mention that the camp still has to use it, let alone the other three buildings, which require even more amazing resources.

In a short period of time, he definitely didn't need to think about upgrading the building. He still had to follow his previous ideas and steadily improve the overall strength of the camp. When there were more people breaking through the Earth-Digging Realm, resources would naturally increase.

Xia Hong calmed down and looked up to find that there were already more than a hundred people surrounded by the iron smelting furnace, and more people were coming one after another.

Standing closest were Luo Yuan and the Zhao brothers, four Earth-Digging Realms; behind them were Yuan Cheng, Mu Dong, Cheng Feng, and the hunting team members; then there were twenty people from the logging team; and the outermost circle was the hundred or so people who had recently broken through.

"Leader, a total of 140 people above the Lumbering Realm have arrived."

Xia Chuan walked all the way from behind, and after a report, he stood directly next to Luo Yuan and the other four.

In the Ice Abyss World, the concept of strength is paramount has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and Da Xia is no exception, which can be seen from the standing positions of the people.

During this period of time, under the sufficient supply of Frostbeast meat, the physique of everyone in the camp was also skyrocketing. The 140 Lumbering Realms in front of them were the best of them.

Each of them was burly and strong. Because most of them were wearing animal skin skirts, most of their muscles were almost exposed, and because their qi muscles were strong, the breathing interval was very long.

More than a hundred people, standing in front of him in a swarm, were full of oppression.

Of course, as the leader of Da Xia, Xia Hong could not feel this oppression, only a strong sense of accomplishment and the constantly rising pride in his heart.

After all, these more than one hundred and forty people were all the foundation of Great Xia, or to put it another way, they could also be considered the generous rewards he had obtained after putting in his heart and soul during this period.

"How long has Great Xia been moved to this valley?"

The entire place was silent, so Xia Hong's question was exceptionally clear.

"It's been six months, Chief!"

The one who answered was Luo Yuan. As someone from the former Rogge Camp, he obviously remembered the time when Great Xia moved here very clearly.

The newest novels are first released on 6 9 books!

Xia Hong nodded and said loudly, "That's right, it's been six months. The cold beast meat system that I initially promised has also been implemented for six months. As of today, our Great Xia camp has a total of six Digging Realm cultivators and one hundred and forty Lumbering Realm cultivators. You have not disappointed the hunting team's hard work, nor have you let me down, very good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place was still silent, but everyone's faces showed pride at the same time, and their eyes also rose with a strong respect for Xia Hong.

The camp was only so big in total. Everyone basically knew how many people had broken through. The problem was that getting Xia Hong's personal affirmation made them feel even more honored.

Secondly, they were all clear that if it weren't for the cold beast meat system implemented by Xia Hong, which gave them all the opportunity to cultivate, they would probably still be lying in their wooden houses, living their days in a daze.

Even Luo Yuan, the Zhao brothers, and all the people from the former Rogge Camp looked at Xia Hong with respect in their eyes at this moment, and even gradually revealed a hint of fanaticism;

Even they were still like this, let alone Da Shi, Da Chuan, and Huang Zhao's people. Even the people of Great Xia Camp looked at Xia Hong as if they were looking at a god, full of fanaticism and piety.

Six Digging Realm cultivators and one hundred and forty Lumbering Realm cultivators, this strength far exceeded the previous Rogge Camp, and even all the camps in Redwood Ridge combined could not compare with the current Great Xia.

Respect for the strong is a common trait of human beings, especially in a world like the Ice Abyss, which is like a frozen hell;

A leader who is not only strong but also able to lead the camp to develop and grow, allowing everyone to live better, has a position in their hearts that is definitely a thousand times, or even ten thousand times, greater than that of a god.

After all, the Ice Abyss world is rumored to be the product of divine punishment.

Gods will not save them, but Xia Hong will. Not only will he save them, but he will also make them live better and become stronger.

"The camp's hunting ability is getting stronger and stronger, so the supply of cold beast meat will still be based on the previous system, it will not change. Correspondingly, your cultivation cannot be slackened just because you have achieved a little success.

To be honest, Lumbering Realm strength is not very useful except for going out to cut trees and helping with some small tasks in the camp. Hunting is not possible, mining is not possible, and even for digging ditches, you people can only dig the softened surface of the coal stone.

So, cultivation, cultivation, still need to cultivate. Only by breaking through to the Digging Realm can you be considered to have truly gained a foothold, and at the same time, you can truly help me and make more and more important contributions to the camp, understand?"

"Understood, Chief!!!"

More than one hundred people, including Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and other Digging Realm cultivators, answered in unison, their voices resounding and shaking the entire wooden house.

From the unwavering expressions on everyone's faces, Xia Hong also felt their determination and drive, and his expression also changed slightly.

"Good, then I will wait and see!"

After saying this, Xia Hong then revealed the real purpose of gathering everyone here.

"There are two things for gathering you here this time. The first thing is the future arrangement of Lumbering Realm personnel in the camp."

Hearing the first thing Xia Hong said, everyone immediately perked up.

During this period, the number of Lumbering Realm cultivators had increased by more than one hundred. Except for a few people recruited by the Camp Supply Office and the Craftsman Workshop, the remaining Lumbering Realm cultivators, although they also followed Cheng Feng to go out to cut wood and collect, did not have the official status of a lumber team or hunting team member.

This was no small matter!

The official status of a lumber team member meant a daily quota of 5 jin of cold beast meat, while the hunting team had even more, 10 jin per day;

Although the Camp Supply Office and Craftsman Workshop currently only had Xia Chuan, Yuan Cheng, and Mu Dong, who could receive an extra 30 jin of cold beast meat per month, according to the recruitment standards set by Xia Hong, as long as they could enter these two institutions, they would definitely be able to obtain more cold beast meat in the future.

Xia Hong had not made any specific arrangements for the hundred or so newly promoted Lumbering Realm cultivators recently, and they were all following the rules set by Xia Chuan. Currently, they were receiving the highest standard among the reserves, two jin of cold beast meat per day.

While in the reserves, two jin per day was definitely enough, but after breaking through to the Lumbering Realm, two jin was far from meeting their cultivation needs.

The cold beast meat was originally brought back by the hunting team at the risk of their lives, and coupled with the fact that everyone had seen Xia Hong busy and overwhelmed during this period, they were even more embarrassed to bother him with this matter.

At this moment, hearing that Xia Hong was finally going to make arrangements, everyone was extremely excited and listened attentively.

"Currently, the hunting team has fifteen people, which can meet the needs of the camp, and it is useless to absorb Lumbering Realm cultivators, so the hunting team will not be expanded this time, and in the future, only Digging Realm cultivators can apply to enter."

Hearing Xia Hong's words, the others did not react much, but the people from the original hunting team, except for Luo Yuan and the five who had broken through to the Digging Realm, breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that there were as many as six Digging Realm cultivators, they were all worried that Xia Hong would cut the size of the hunting team and eliminate all the Lumbering Realm cultivators, but fortunately, their worries were unnecessary.

"The lumber team currently has 21 people. This round will first expand to 80 people; in addition, another collection team will be established, tentatively recruiting 40 people. The treatment for collection team members is the same as that of the lumber team."

"Chief, is the collection team specifically for picking crystal fruit?"

Hearing someone below ask, Xia Hong immediately shook his head and said, "Picking crystal fruit is just one of the tasks, recording the growth cycle of ice rock trees, searching for usable medicinal materials in the wild, searching for and recording more fruit plants, etc... Moreover, as the scope of our hunting team's activities expands, the collection team must also follow up to search for more useful things for the camp. These are all the tasks of the collection team..."

Speaking of this, Xia Hong paused for a moment and continued, "The work of the collection team is very important. Our Golden Sore Ointment formula came from the blue congealing grass that Cheng Feng brought back."

Everyone understood what the collection team was and nodded thoughtfully.

"In addition, the treatment for the Camp Supply Office and the Craftsman Workshop is the same as that of the lumber team and the collection team, five jin of cold beast meat per day. These two departments will recruit people, and Xia Chuan and Mu Dong will be fully responsible for this. They only need to report to me. Whether you can get in depends entirely on your own ability."

The Camp Supply Office manages all the supplies of the camp. As the supplies become more and more, it definitely needs people, but currently there are not many things, so it does not need many people;

What the Craftsman Workshop needs is not ordinary Lumbering Realm cultivators, but Lumbering Realm cultivators with certain craftsman skills or at least craftsman talent. Currently, it does not seem to need many people.

Moreover, during this period, Xia Chuan and Mu Dong have each recruited some people. The Camp Supply Office has recruited two, and the Craftsman Workshop has recruited five, all of which have been reported to Xia Hong, so he is clear about them.

"The lumber team and the collection team are up to you to join. There are a total of 120 positions, which is enough for you to choose at will. Of course, you can also choose not to join, but in that case, you will not get any cold beast meat in the future."

Hearing this, everyone shook their heads, only thinking that Xia Hong was joking. After breaking through to the Lumbering Realm, not joining the collection team or the lumber team would mean becoming a parasite who does nothing.

For such a person, let alone getting cold beast meat later, the entire camp would find a way to make you spit out what you ate before.

With Xia Hong as the leader and role model, it is foreseeable that not only now, but even in the future, the Great Xia Camp will not tolerate such parasites.

"In short, eight words, the Great Xia Camp does not support idlers!"

"If you don't have the strength and can't go out, it is right for the camp to support you. If you have the strength, you should feed back to the camp. Great Xia relies on me alone, and even if I am strong, there is a limit. Only when everyone exerts their value will the strength of the camp become stronger and stronger, and our lives will definitely become better and better!"

Xia Hong's tone was quite serious when he said these two sentences.

Everyone nodded heavily, engraving them firmly in their hearts.

"Okay, the first thing is finished. Now let's talk about the second thing."

After giving everyone some time to digest, Xia Hong also began to talk about the second thing, but he did not say it directly, but first gave Mu Dong a look.

Mu Dong nodded and stood up with an excited expression.

"Everyone, the preparation work for building new wooden houses has been fully completed. All the tools and accessories that need to be prepared have also been prepared. The ground piles have now been driven out for more than six hundred meters. We are ready to start construction simultaneously!"

Hearing that the new wooden houses could finally start construction, more than one hundred Lumbering Realm cultivators, as well as other people who had gathered around, were filled with joy.

Even though Xia Hong had learned of this news a step earlier than others, he couldn't help but smile as he looked up and around the wooden house he had lived in for half a year.

The wooden house he was living in now was really too crowded.

Like everyone else, he had long been looking forward to starting construction and moving into a new house as soon as possible.
