Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 115 Abnormal Red Light
"Your decision is indeed necessary."

Hong Ming looked at Liu Hen in agreement: "If you ask me, this place of yours should not be allowed to be inhabited by outsiders, or people who have not made any contributions should not be allowed to live here."

If he were the one making the decision, he would never let those humble ordinary people enter this place.

Because in his opinion this is a pure land, and ordinary people entering here will only pollute it.

However, he has no decision-making power and can only make suggestions.

"Is this place... any different from the previous campfire camp?" Chang Xin understood the implication of Liu Hen's words.

“Yes, there is a big difference.”

Liu Hen nodded and explained, "Lucheng Village is a whole. Even if we move in the future, we can take the village with us. In addition, once you become a villager of Lucheng Village, you will truly be considered one of our own and can use all the facilities within the village. Of course, those facilities that are not available now will be added one by one in the future."

For example, for village defense cannons, if nothing unexpected happens, any villager can use it, and there is no need to enter names one by one to set permissions as before.

Even the lockers placed inside the village may be used by anyone.

Although this will be much more convenient and reduce a lot of trouble, it will also invisibly increase some uncontrollable risks.

So they must be one of our own, they must be people who are willing to work, and they must have a sense of belonging to the travel village.

"I understand." Chang Xin nodded.

"Then start taking the oath." Liu Hen said.

"How do we take the oath?" Hong Ming asked. He had never done such a thing before, nor had he ever asked anyone else to take the oath.

Chang Xin and others didn't understand either.

"Okay, just follow me."

Liu Hen looked at Heishi and the Wu brothers and sisters: "You should follow suit."

"Yes, my lord."

Heishi and the Wu brothers and sisters nodded at the same time.
"Oh, right, when you take the oath, you have to do this gesture. Remember, you have to be sincere, otherwise it will be invalid."

Liu Hen felt that the oath-taking ceremony should have some sense of ceremony, so he made a gesture with his right fist clenched and placed on his heart.

The others quickly followed suit.

Liu Hen faced the campfire and said, "I voluntarily join the Lucheng Village. I am willing to sacrifice my life for the Lucheng Village and dedicate my loyalty to it."

Chang Xin and others in the back immediately followed suit.

"I voluntarily join the Journey Village and am willing to sacrifice my life for it and dedicate my loyalty..."

As the few people finished speaking, Liu Hen immediately discovered that a list of applications appeared in the villagers column in the village register.

The names on these lists were Chang Xin and others.

"They didn't say their names before, but they were able to display their names. This oath function can be used as an identity verification function to some extent."

This thought flashed through Liu Hen’s mind, and then he clicked to agree.

And the moment he agreed——

Chang Xin and others immediately felt different.

They were surprised to find that they and the village seemed to have become one.

It seems that as long as the Travel Village exists, I am there.

A strong sense of security emerges.

At the same time, they also inexplicably felt that the bonfire in front of them seemed to become sacred, making them involuntarily want to worship the bonfire in front of them.

"Did you all feel it?" Liu Hen asked.

"I feel it!" Chang Xin nodded in surprise.

"Incredible, this feeling..." Hong Ming murmured in surprise, constantly observing the bonfire in front of him.

Even he, as a person with superpowers, felt that the bonfire in front of him had become sacred at this moment.

This made him wonder, could the oath just now be some kind of contract ceremony?
However, since he had already decided to follow Liu Hen, he did not resist.

"This feeling, as if I was suddenly protected by something..."

The Wu brothers and sisters couldn't help but murmur, feeling that this special protection was stronger than the psychological effect of the previous bonfire.

Because before it might really have been just a psychological effect, but this time, that kind of protection is likely to be real.

"I really like this strong sense of security." The last sentence was said by Zhang Mianmian.

Xiao Heishi didn't react much. When she first followed Liu Hen, she had already given everything to him, including her freedom and life.

The reason why she can continue to exist is because of Liu Hen's wish on the Wishing Stone. She can only continue to exist as long as Liu Hen still needs her.

In addition, she had signed a master-servant contract with Liu Hen, and Liu Hen was her master. Now the oath-taking ceremony of joining the Journey Village had no meaning to her.

"I'll try to open the door." Hong Ming couldn't wait to run towards the house he chose.

This time there was no accident and he successfully opened the door.

"I'm going to bed first."

He waved at the door of the building and then closed it. He had been on edge all this time, as Zhang Mianmian had been staring at him like a dog-skin plaster.

Now that the annoying woman has been transferred away, he can finally sleep peacefully.

Liu Hen looked at Chang Xin and said, "You two should go too and settle those guys down. They don't need to join the Journey Village right now; they just need someone to take them in and out. Anyway, the oath-taking ceremony only serves to open the gate." Chang Xin nodded and said, "Leave those chores to us. I'll arrange for those people to go mining. I can't rely on you for everything."

"Okay then, let's go."

Liu Hen looked at the Wu brothers and sisters and said, "Each of you should choose a house. We don't need a gatekeeper here. There are plenty of houses left. You can live wherever you like."

"This...is, sir!"

The Wu siblings hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded reluctantly.

Although being able to choose a house and living in a big house is much better than being a doorman, they still feel that the doorman job is the best.

Because that is the place closest to Lord Liu Hen.

However, they did not dare to disobey Liu Hen's orders.

When everyone left, only Liu Hen and Xiao Heishi were left.

"Finally settled down."

Looking at the peaceful little village, Liu Hen felt a deep sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"Now I just need to wait patiently for the Creation Workbench to reach Silver level, and then I can start farming..."

However, just as he thought of this, he got a headache again, because it would take one hundred pieces of silver ore to upgrade the creation workbench to the silver level.

But now he doesn't have any silver mine, and the one that Hong Ming gave him was used to upgrade the pickaxe of all things.

He brought the little black stone back to the village chief's residence, and couldn't help but think: "Migration with most people is too slow. How about we find a way to let Hongming get the silver mine?"

The most important thing is that he himself didn't want to struggle anymore and didn't want to continue migrating long distances in the dark.

If possible, he would rather settle down and focus on farming and development.

"That guy has the ability, but I don't know if he's willing to do it, because he might have enemies in Luxia City."

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and he took the little black stone back to the house with a natural expression.

"Sir, is there anything I need to do?" asked Little Black Stone.

"Go to sleep first, and talk after you wake up."

Liu Hen took out a simple wooden bed and placed it aside, then lay down directly holding Little Black Stone.

Because there were no more simple wooden beds available, and the two had already had sex when they signed the master-servant ceremony, he didn't hide anything.

Of course, he was very sleepy now and didn't do anything, he just wanted to sleep.

He had been tossing and turning before and hadn't slept for a long time. Thanks to the special effect of the simple wooden bed, he fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down.

When I woke up, it was already the next day.

Of course, there is no distinction between day and night in this world, and it is early night outside now.

The most terrifying late night has passed, and the temperature outside should start to rise.

At this time, even lying in bed, Liu Hen found that he could vaguely sense the number of people and population distribution in the travel village.

This kind of induction should be the special authority of the village chief.

However, in his perception, Chang Xin and other people who joined the journey, that is, people who had the identity of residents of the Journey Village, all had a green light on their bodies.

The others were covered in white light.

But it wasn't just white light. What surprised him was that one of the people was emitting red light.

'What does this red light mean?'

Liu Hen was confused and couldn't help but think of the settings of most games.

In many game settings, green light represents friendly people, white light represents strangers or NPCs, and red light represents enemies.

'Is this person an enemy? Who is this person?'

Because he was now sensing the travel village through his identity as the village chief, he could only sense the population distribution within the village, but could not see the man's appearance clearly.

So he quickly stood up, put on the bronze-level Wanjinzhui suit, and then used the power of the earth to scan the man's face.

What surprised him but was not particularly surprising was that the guy with red light on his body turned out to be Tong Kun.

"Tong Kun is the enemy?"

Liu Hen's heart trembled. He didn't think that an ordinary person in the camp would dare to be hostile to him.

Considering that Tong Kun used to be a member of the Bronze Dragon Camp, and the entire Bronze Dragon Camp was under the jurisdiction, or control, of the demon Bronze Dragon.

That kind of control, even if it is not absolute control, should contain an element of active interference.

"Sir, I seem to sense the presence of a demon."

At this time, Little Black Stone, who was awakened by his actions, quickly got up and said softly, "But that aura is very obscure. I can't sense it clearly, and I can't sense the specific location."

"Demon's aura..."

Liu Hen was completely certain that the current Tong Kun was not normal.
