Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 114 Village Registration
Chang Xin and others also looked at the rapidly growing tree in surprise.

Under everyone's gaze, the tree grew at an astonishing speed, constantly sprouting leaves and branches, and soon became lush and leafy.

Because the trees in the Night Mist World are mostly twisted and low, with almost no crowns, they were all very amazed by this tree.

Even the trees that Hong Ming had previously nurtured for treatment did not have such lush crowns and as many branches.

This kind of tree is very new to them.

Finally, when the trees reached a height of about three meters, they finally stopped growing.

The originally bare village is finally no longer monotonous.

Although there is only one tree, it is so beautiful. It is crooked and although there is no sign of human intervention, it is very beautiful.

This is clearly a landscape tree, not a winter fruit tree.

Even if the core of the tree is that of a winter fruit tree, it is highly likely that the tree will not bear fruit.

It is like the environmental modeling in a game, protected by the rules of the game, cannot be cut down, and naturally is unlikely to bear fruit.

"Oh my god, this is exactly as the blueprint showed."

Liu Hen looked at the small tree in front of him, which was exactly the same as the blueprint shadow, with a look of surprise.

Unfortunately, the remaining two tree cores can no longer be used, and even if all of them were used, it would be impossible to "build" all the trees.

Because there are nineteen trees in the blueprint, one on the side of each building.

He turned off the village construction mode, and immediately all the shadows of trees that had not been filled with materials in his vision disappeared, and his vision became the same as that of everyone else.

"Hey, this tree... I can't control it."

Hong Ming was surprised again. He tried to use his ability to sense the tree and found that it was indeed a real tree, but he could not control his ability.

Not only was he unable to control it, he even found that he was unable to cultivate the tree. His abilities had no effect on it at all.

"This tree is also part of the Journey Village. You certainly can't control it."

Liu Hen smiled and said, "The settlement is ready. Among the eighteen houses around it, Chang Xin, Zong Ni, Chen Ye, Zhang Mianmian, and Hong Ming, you can each choose one."

"Do I have one too?"

Zhang Mianmian was surprised: "Thank you, sir!"

"Where are the others?" Chang Xin asked.

There are only nineteen houses visible in the village.

Even though those houses are not small, even if everyone squeezes in, it would be good if they can accommodate a hundred people.

Hong Ming continued, "Those people can just sleep outside. It's warm anyway. You don't want Liu Hen to build houses for those servants, do you?"

Liu Hen smiled and said, "Each building has stairs leading to the underground. Chang Xin, you can go down and take a look, and then see how it's arranged. There are a total of 400 rooms underground, which is more than enough to accommodate more than 300 people."

"Some more people died earlier. Now there are only 287 left."

Chang Xin explained: "Including us."

A hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed in Liu Hen's eyes again, of course, this murderous intent was directed at the bronze dragon.

"There should be some barbarians near the Bronze Dragon Camp. You can continue to have people bring them back."

Liu Hen said, "But I won't support them for nothing. Except for combat members, children, the elderly and disabled who are truly unable to take care of themselves, everyone else must mine in exchange for housing and food."

"Do you have a plan?" Chang Xin asked quickly.

"You don't have to start working right away. You can give them free food and shelter for the next few days. I'll give them the tools later."

Liu Hen said, "We'll discuss how much copper ore can be exchanged for food later. You should first arrange for them to live there. Oh, and remember to have someone supervise them so they don't poop everywhere. There are public toilets underground as well."

"Okay." Chang Xin nodded and left with Zong Ni and others.

"I live in that house." Hong Ming couldn't wait to walk towards one of the houses closest to the village chief's residence.

"Sir..." Xiao Heishi looked at Liu Hen with some trepidation but also some anticipation, because Liu Hen did not let her live in another house.

"I have plenty of room here."

Liu Hen brought Xiao Heishi into the village chief's residence and said with a smile, "Except the largest one, you can choose any one."

"Thank you, sir." Little Heishi immediately ran over happily to choose a room.

Liu Hen entered his room and looked around.

Actually, there is nothing to see, because there is no furniture in here now, not even a bed.

Then he went around to the other rooms and found that except for his own room, all the other rooms were the same size.

'not bad.'

He is still very satisfied with this blueprint.

"Sir, please live in this room." At this time, Xiao Heishi had chosen one, which was next to the master bedroom.

Liu Hen smiled and nodded, turned and walked out the door, and came to the spider car where the workbench was placed.

He took back the workbench, returned to the village chief's residence, took out the workbench and placed it in the corner of his room.

"There are still two days left to reach the next level..."

Seeing that the workbench was still being upgraded, he took the little black stone out again.

At this time, Chang Xin and others came back, and even Hong Ming came back.

"We can't open the doors of those buildings," said Chang Xin.

"The door of my house can't be opened either." Hong Ming looked depressed.

He had been on edge for a while, and now that he had finally settled down, he wanted to get a good night's sleep, but he couldn't open the door.

Liu Hen frowned, because the village blueprint did not prompt him to set a password, nor did it indicate that only he could open those doors.

In this case, it stands to reason that other people should also be able to open the door.

He turned back to the door of the village chief's residence, stared at the door in front of him, and found that he could indeed set a password, allowing others to enter and exit by entering the password.

But now there are so many buildings and so many doors. If I have to set passwords for each one, wouldn’t I be exhausted?
Moreover, with so many people, it is too troublesome and unreasonable to need to enter a password every day to enter and exit.

'Could it be...'

He suddenly walked to the campfire and stared at it.

Sure enough, a panel appeared from the flames of the campfire, which contained information about the Journey Village.

【Journey Village】

[Level: Level 1 (0%)]

【Village membership: Village head (1), Villager (0)】

[Villagers' offerings and worship can provide experience points for upgrading the village.]

[Villagers can add fuel to the bonfire. If a villager dies fighting for the village, their contribution will be recognized by the bonfire. Their bodies can be thrown into the bonfire and transformed into heroic spirit guards to protect the village forever.]

[Throwing the corpses of villagers who have made contributions to the village into the bonfire will provide a certain amount of upgrade experience for the village.]

[Using a hundred times the upgrade materials of the same level bonfire, you can directly upgrade the village. After upgrading, the village area will be expanded. Each upgrade can modify the blueprint once, refill materials, or demolish and rebuild (due to the level limit of the All-King Pickaxe, further upgrades are currently unavailable.)]

"The upgrade method has changed? The bonfire, the source of the village, has a new upgrade method?"

Liu Hen raised his eyebrows slightly.

He was not only concerned about the change in the upgrade method, but also about the fact that meritorious villagers could be transformed into heroic guards.

In addition, the villagers' offerings and worship, as well as 'throwing the bodies of meritorious villagers into the bonfire', can actually provide upgrade experience for the village.

Fortunately, I can still use materials directly to upgrade the entire village, but the consumption is a bit high.

According to previous experience, it would take twenty large logs to upgrade the energy bonfire from level one to level two.

One hundred times the number of twenty large logs is two thousand.

There will definitely be more and more as you go up.

He couldn't afford this kind of consumption in such a barren world.

Because the burning of a bonfire also requires wood as fuel, the upgraded materials will not be turned into fuel and will be consumed directly.

In addition, the manufacture of other items may also require wood, and it is impossible to waste all of it on this.

'Fortunately, there are other sources of experience.'

Liu Hen clicked on the village registration column.

[Village Chief: I (the identity of village chief is not transferable)]

"Not a name, but 'I'?"

This village seems to have a unique personality.

Liu Hen understood it in his heart, and was also completely certain that his golden finger was not a system, but his own awakened ability.

This made him secretly relieved. In all the system novels he had read in his previous life, in the end, the system would become the big villain, or a test subject released by some advanced civilization.

Now that he was sure that this was his awakened ability, he was completely relieved.

After closing the village chief column, he clicked on the [Villager] column again.

[Villagers: 0]

[If you voluntarily swear an oath in front of the bonfire to join the Journey Village and obtain the consent of the village chief, you can become a Journey Village villager. Once you join, you cannot withdraw on your own.]

[Villagers' attacks on the village will be negated, and their attack power will be transferred to the earth.]

'Would you like to volunteer?'

Liu Hen thought for a moment, then looked at Chang Xin: "Once you swear in front of the bonfire to join the Journey Village, you can enter and exit those buildings freely."

"Swear an oath?"

Hong Ming was stunned: "How do I take the oath? Do I need to sign a contract?"

"No, just swear an oath verbally in front of the campfire."

Liu Hen said: "But even if it's just a verbal oath, you must be truly willing to join in your heart, otherwise it will be invalid."

"Then I'll call someone over to take the oath." Chang Xin said immediately.

"Don't shout yet."

Liu Hen said, "Except for the few of you, everyone else who wants to officially become a resident of Journey Village must make a certain contribution. So, except for children and those who cannot take care of themselves, everyone else must dig about 100 kilograms of copper ore to qualify to join Journey Village."

About one hundred kilograms of copper ore is by no means a lot.

He looked at Chang Xin and said seriously, "Tell them that after joining Journey Village, they must contribute to its development and construction. It's not like everything will be fine after joining. Let them make their own choices."

Few people would cherish things that are too easy to obtain, so he made this request.

Although those barbarians were considered our own people before, the situation is different this time. After joining the Travel Village, they are truly our own people and we have to be responsible for the villagers.

Although he still couldn't keep those people for free, he would have to pay more attention to their safety.
