Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 119 Dark Cuisine
As for the villagers who join in later, we will see the situation.

Some may need to exchange contributions for food, but if there are enough contributions, it is not impossible to permanently open daily food.

However, if you want to obtain a permanent source of food, you definitely cannot just make ordinary contributions.

Such treatment can be used to stimulate the efforts of the villagers.

"Those children...can't be kept forever. Once they have enough ability to survive, their food will be limited unless they can make contributions."

Liu Hen planned in his mind, then looked at Zong Ni: "The food is all in here, you just distribute it to them, and you can let the two of you watch over it."

"Okay, does the village gate need to be guarded?" Zong Ni asked.

Liu Hen thought for a moment and nodded, "Let's have someone guard it, but their main task is to intercept strangers and keep watch. Don't do anything extraneous. Anyone who acts without authorization and causes losses to the Lucheng Village will be severely punished."

At the end of his speech, his voice was cold. He really disliked servants who acted on their own initiative and thought they could help important people.

"Okay, I will definitely supervise them." Zong Ni's heart trembled, knowing that Liu Hen was not joking.

Liu Hen nodded, turned and walked towards the village chief's residence.

Seeing Xiao Heishi following him like a shadow again, he smiled and said, "You can go do what you like. You don't have to follow me all the time."

Xiao Heishi was at a loss. Do what he likes to do?
"For example, playing with them." Liu Hen pointed to the children gathered around a campfire in the distance.

Heishi is actually still a child. She has almost no childhood and her memories are all about the hard life, so she can't understand what Liu Hen means.

"Just relax as much as you can. I will call you when I really need you." Liu Hen said.

"Yes, sir." Xiao Heishi nodded respectfully, thinking that this was also Liu Hen's order, because she remembered that Liu Hen said that nothing could be refused.

Liu Hen did not correct him, but just reminded Xiao Heishi to go back to his room and sleep if he was sleepy, and then returned to the village chief's residence.

He took out the ordinary-level workbenches one by one, then used one of them to select the recipe for a warm headgear and made a headgear using the core of the winter fruit tree he had collected before.

This tree core was collected not long ago. There were originally three of them, but one was used to fill the decorative trees in the village.

The only tree in the village now was transformed from that tree core.

Liu Hen wanted to see what the effect of the set made from the core of the winter fruit tree would be.

One minute later, the warm hood was made.

What surprised him was that the independent effect of this warm headgear seemed to have nothing to do with the characteristics of the winter fruit tree, but rather with sensing space.

That’s right, sensing space is just simple sensing, without any other useful abilities.

"What effect will it have after being integrated with other modules to form a suit?"

Liu Hen then made other modules and matched them with an existing thermal garment, making it a complete set.

He changed out of his Wanjinzhui suit and put on a new one.

Soon, the new suit was integrated and the suit effect appeared:
[Warmth Suit (Deadwood): The wearer gains an additional 100 kilograms of strength in addition to their base strength...; Suit Effect: Carrying Space (Comes with an independent space for storing items. Items placed inside retain their original appearance and will not change over time. However, once the suit effect wears off, the independent space will disintegrate, destroying the items inside. Current storage space is one cubic meter. Upgrade Materials: 100 Iron Ore, Magic Crystals)]

"..."

Seeing the effect of this set, Liu Hen was stunned, with a complicated expression, and he didn't know how to describe it.

To be honest, the effect of this set is actually very useful, but it is only useful to others.

For him, this suit is too useless. His own space backpack is countless times more powerful than this one.

"It's only one cubic meter of space, and this storage method is calculated by volume. It can only hold one cubic meter of items at most..."

The most important thing is that this independent space does not exist permanently.

Once the suit is incomplete, such as when changing clothes, the independent space will disappear and the items inside will need to be taken out.

Of course, for the barbarians who hardly need to take a bath, this problem is not a problem at all.

"But since I can't use it myself, I can give it to others or sell it later."

He planned in his mind: "But even if I sell it, I must sell it at a very high price."

It doesn’t have to be sold to outsiders, it can also be sold to villagers.

These things can be used as rewards to stimulate villagers' contributions.

As for whether to exchange it with magic crystals or contributions, we will decide later.

Liu Hen put away the set, took out the other bronze-level lockers one by one and put them in place, and transferred the home cannon and shells to the space backpack.

Then he turned around and walked out the door again, lightly gathering his strength and jumping up, going to the top of a nearby building, taking out a home cannon and installing it.

Village defense cannons cannot be manufactured now, so we can only use homes as a transition.

However, there are only nine home cannons left, so he only installed home cannons on the tops of nine surrounding buildings.

These nine home cannons can be aimed at a 360-degree angle outside the village, and can strike all invading enemies without blind spots.

"As expected, all villagers can use these home cannons, but the villagers are protected by the power of the village and seem to be immune to harm?"

Liu Hen took a look at the home cannon installed in the village and was surprised to find that villagers with village membership would not be injured even if they were hit by the shells and would be ineffective.

However, this only applies to direct hits and those within the explosion range will not be injured. If you are outside the explosion range, it will be different and you will be injured by the shock wave.

"This function... is quite magical."

He was secretly delighted. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about others misusing the cannons and injuring his own people. He left a box of cannonballs next to each home cannon and then returned to the campfire.

"village head……"

"Village Chief..."

The group of barbaric children gathered around the campfire greeted each other timidly and stepped back subconsciously.

Liu Hen raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't ask anyone to call him village chief. These children had been kneeling in front of the bonfire before. Had their consciousness been affected?
However, apart from suddenly realizing that he was the village chief and calling him out very naturally, these barbarian children did not react in any unusual way.

"Go play somewhere far away, just don't leave the village." He said with a smile.

"Yes, Village Chief..."

These barbarian children turned around and ran as if they had been pardoned.

"Sir, they were kneeling in front of the bonfire without saying a word, and their expressions were very strange." Little Black Stone complained.

Liu Hen looked at the bonfire whose experience bar had increased slightly again and smiled, "Don't worry about it. They will be fine. Besides, this behavior will not cause any damage to me or the village. On the contrary, it will benefit us."

"That's good." Xiao Heishi breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Liu Hen was already starving. He was about to take out the food to eat, but suddenly it occurred to him that he seemed to have not cooked new food for a long time.

So he turned on the cooking function of the campfire in front of him and tried to cook the meat paste and organic carbon left over from collecting horse meat.

He wanted to try some new foods because he was tired of eating the same carbohydrate porridge.

It felt too wasteful to eat the meat directly, and he didn't have much horse meat on him. If he collected it, the amount would be even less.

A minute later, new food came out.

However, this time there was no food recipe.

The food cooked this time was pitch black, and the name was very simple and crude, it was called [Dark Cuisine].

[Dark cuisine; dark cuisine that can satisfy hunger, but even barbarians may suffer from poisoning if they eat it, and the most serious ones may suffer from diarrhea for several days.]

"Even the barbarians would have diarrhea for a few days if they ate it?"

Liu Hen destroyed it directly, and then tried using ice cubes and the meat paste left from collecting horse meat.

He chose three ice cubes and a small portion of horse meat puree.

A minute later, the new recipe appeared

[Meat and Blood Soup: It can satisfy hunger and quench thirst, but don't worry too much about the taste.]

This is the identification information of the blood mud soup from the space backpack.

Liu Hen took it out and took a sip, and his brows couldn't help but twitch.

This smell——

how to say?

It’s not that it’s bad to drink, it’s mainly because it doesn’t have salt.

Liu Hen immediately knew what was going on.

Because when the horse meat was collected before, all the salt was collected as the essence of blood and flesh.

The remaining blood mud has basically no salt residue.

This problem cannot be solved for the time being, so this food recipe is useless. The most important thing is that there is not much blood mud, so it is impossible to produce it in large quantities.

The cooking function of a campfire is indeed magical, but it is impossible to create something out of nothing.

Suddenly, Liu Hen saw Xiao Heishi beside him looking at him eagerly. He smiled and handed the blood mud and meat soup in the bowl to him: "Try it."

"Yes, sir." Little Heishi took the bowl and drank with a businesslike look on his face, as if he was carrying out a mission.

"How does it taste?" Liu Hen asked.

"It tastes very good, thank you, sir." Little Heishi said happily.

Liu Hen couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "If it tastes good, drink it all."

He also did not require Xiao Heishi to have the same sense of taste as him. The people in the wilderness basically did not have much demand for food, as long as they could fill their stomachs, that was enough.

"By the way, those tree cake essences have never been used since they were collected. It's a good opportunity to use them together and see if we can make something delicious."

He had an idea and added two ice cubes, a portion of tree cake essence, and a portion of horse meat paste into the cooking box.

After waiting for a minute, new food was cooked.

But the recipe is still not released, because what was cooked this time is still a dark dish.

And this time it's even more cruel. According to the identification of the space backpack, this dark dish can poison the people in the wilderness.

Liu Hen: “…”

"How can it be a dark dish?"

He was a little confused and felt that there should be nothing wrong with this combination.
