Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 127 Hu Jinshi Wants to Farm

It was already late at night when they returned to the village.

"for you."

Liu Hen took out a piece of wood mud meat glutinous rice cake: "This is wood mud meat glutinous rice cake, I don't have much on me."

The temperature in the village is much higher than outside, so the wood mud meat rice cake is at a very suitable temperature after it is taken out.

A sweet smell emanated from it, and Hong Ming quickly caught it with both hands and couldn't wait to take a bite.

The next moment, his eyes widened slightly: "This...hiss...how can the food be this delicious?"

This is not an exaggeration on his part. Having lived for more than seventy years, he believes that he has eaten a lot of "delicacies".

But those so-called "delicacies" are nothing but shit compared to the black food in front of me.

"Work hard. If I can get more ingredients in the future, you can taste this delicacy again." Liu Hen smiled and was about to leave.

"Wait, can you give me a set of clothes like the ones you guys are wearing?"

Hong Ming suddenly said, "Or half a set will do. This is too cold."

He had always relied on his strong body to fight against the low temperature outside, and there was no problem originally. But now that the cold season has arrived, even a fourth-level psychic like him feels cold.

The clothes made by Liu Hen could allow ordinary people in the wilderness to move freely in the dead of night during the cold season, which also made him very excited.

"Okay." Liu Hen did not refuse. He took out a four-piece suit that suited Hong Ming's body shape and threw it over.

It was just a set of warm clothes, not counting the warm hood, and it was not a good thing for him at all.

The moment he put the four-piece warm suit into his hands, Hong Ming sensed it and exclaimed, "As expected, this is the manifestation of power!"

Liu Hen paused and asked, "Have you ever seen a manifestation of power?"

"The Silver Mine Demon possesses a set of magic armor, which is also a manifestation of its power."

Hong Ming explained, "However, that set of manifestations was a gift from the unborn Demon Lord, and it was also its companion magic armor. I once suspected that its existence was due to that magic armor. Later, when I transformed the Demon Lord's spiritual power, the magic armor disappeared, and the silver mine demon also suddenly encountered an accident, which indirectly confirmed my suspicion."

At the end, he sighed, "It's said that all independently existing objects are related to rules. I actually have the chance to obtain one."

What made him feel most unreal was that Liu Hen seemed to be able to easily produce a large number of such objects.

Liu Hen understood: "So you suspect that the Demon Lord might be a rule-based creature?"

"Not only that, I think that if the Demon Lord is truly born, he might directly become a god-like creature."

Hong Ming said with some fear: "If it had been born, it would have definitely become a disaster in one go, with disastrous consequences. Fortunately, I nipped it in the bud."

Liu Hen glanced at Hong Ming who was boasting in disguise, but did not attack him.

"Wait, you said that material objects are related to rules?" He suddenly thought of Chang Xin's silver-white armor.

Not only can Chang Xin materialize a silver-white armor herself, but the pardoned soldiers will also receive a piece of armor.

"Are you talking about Chang Xin?"

Hong Ming guessed Liu Hen's suspicion: "Her armor doesn't seem to be able to exist independently. It may not be related to the rules."

"My armor really can't exist independently."

At this time, Chang Xin walked in from outside and said, "At least not yet. I can only summon it when I am in battle, and I can't take it off. The same goes for the soldiers I pardoned. Their armor cannot be taken off, and it can't exist permanently. It can only be summoned temporarily when fighting."

"At least not now, you mean?" Liu Hen looked strange.

"Right now I'm just guessing."

Chang Xin explained: "I have a hunch that once my abilities grow to a certain level, they will be permanent. Most of my abilities are concentrated in the armor."

Hong Ming was a little confused and looked at Chang Xin in disbelief: "Does your ability have the potential to grow?"

"Is it strange that superpowers have the ability to grow?"

Chang Xin looked at Hong Ming in confusion: "Your abilities will also grow, right?"

She remembered Hong Ming saying that his ability was only able to cultivate plants at first, but after reaching the fourth level, he could even cultivate the Demon Lord's eggs.

This in itself is a kind of growth.

"How can this be the same? It's not the same at all!"

Hong Ming muttered absentmindedly, "I've read some ancient records before. Everything that can be materialized and exist permanently is related to rules. Only rules can allow these objects to exist forever. So, even if you're not a rule-based psychic yet, you should have the potential to become one!"

He was really confused, because he already knew that Liu Hen and Xiao Heishi were both rule-based psychics.

Now that he knew that Lian Changxin might also be a rule-based mutant, his three views suddenly collapsed.

There are probably three of these legendary rule-based supernatural beings who are considered gods?!
When did there become so many rule-based mutants?
In fact, there are still very few people with rule-based abilities. In the truth that he didn't know, Liu Hen was a time traveler, which was an accident.

And Xiao Heishi is not a psychic at all, but a humanoid demon who has integrated the rule-based treasures.

Chang Xin might be the only rule-based mutant in the entire Moteng Domain.

Liu Hen was not surprised that Chang Xin might also be a rule-based mutant.

Because Chang Xin's ability to pardon and seal allows the person who is pardoned to practice and become stronger, this to some extent is already a mass production of people with special abilities.

Those who are pardoned can also create modified subordinates.

This is quite outrageous.

If this is not considered a rule-based superpower, he can hardly imagine how awesome a rule-based superpower must be.
Even so, he still suspected that Chang Xin might not have told him everything, and that her abilities might have other uses. After the impromptu meeting ended, Hong Ming was still a little confused.

"Have I stumbled into a den of rule-based superpowers?"

He felt it was unreal. He originally thought he was pretty awesome, but in the end he found out that he, a fourth-level psychic, was the worst one.

"It's not unfair that I lost to them."

He sighed and suddenly became more excited about the future.

Three rule-based superpowers gather together. How far can they grow in the future?
'It's really exciting! '

……

Today, several people dug up a hundred kilograms of copper ore, and several combat members killed a hundred two-armed monsters on their own and obtained village membership.

Liu Hen asked Zong Ni to lead these people to swear to join the Journey Village. After agreeing to their joining, he went to plant the tree cores obtained today in the decorative tree location in the village.

Because the tree core he collected was also the core of the glutinous wood, it was not rare, so he planned to use it directly.

He started the village construction mode, came to the shadow of a tree, and placed the tree core.

The next moment, small saplings grew quickly before my eyes.

During this process, the fuel of the bonfire was consumed quickly, prompting the saplings to grow rapidly, allowing them to gradually grow to a level that overlapped with the blueprint phantom.

In just over ten minutes, a decorative tree was built.

After seeing this scene, the villagers nearby couldn't help but marvel at it even though it was not the first time they had seen it.

"The village has become more beautiful. Once all the decorative trees are planted, Journey Village will become a beautiful rural village, right?"

Liu Hen was looking forward to it.

At this time, Hu Jinshi came over, saluted with a nervous but firm look on his face, and said, "Village Chief, I hope to rent a piece of land to plant paradise flowers."

"Renting land to grow flowers of paradise?"

Liu Hen was stunned. His own spiritual field was still unfinished, yet this guy was planning to start planting it first?

The flower of paradise is a poisonous plant that Hu Jinshi brought from a cave outside the Hongluo camp.

After that poisonous plant is chopped and lit, taking a puff can cause hallucinations, which even people with special abilities cannot avoid.

He had tried it before. After taking a sip, it was like going to heaven, floating in the air, and being able to see all kinds of beautiful things as if he was there, as if he was in a lucid dream and doing whatever he wanted.

Originally he didn't want to see this kind of thing appear, but later he found out that the flower of paradise, which was known as a highly poisonous plant, was not addictive and had no sequelae, so he turned a blind eye to it.

"Yes, please allow me, Village Chief." Hu Jinshi said respectfully.

He was one of the first villagers to obtain village status. He used to do very well in the Hongluo Camp, and he was still doing well after coming here.

Even now, he still has more than a dozen loyal followers, and that is his hope for a comeback.

"Did you know that land in the village is very expensive?"

Liu Hen said calmly, "The village is so small. If it is used for planting, the area available for activities will be further compressed."

Of course, he didn't really want to reject Hu Jinshi, he just wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Things like Paradise Flower should be very popular in this era, if trade channels can be established in the future...

He himself didn't want that kind of thing to harm the villagers, but it didn't have to be open only to the villagers; it could be sold to outsiders.

Hu Jinshi immediately said very sensibly: "After the crops are grown, we'll only take 30% of the small ones, and the remaining 70% will belong to the village chief."

Liu Hen raised his eyebrows. This guy is very sensible. No wonder he can make it in a place like Hongluo Camp.

However… although 70% may seem like a lot, the comfortable environment and farming land are all provided by ourselves.

What we provide is much more than these, including safety and other intangible factors, which are, to some extent, more important than a comfortable environment and cultivated land.

"Old Hu, you should know that things like paradise flowers shouldn't appear too often, even without me pointing them out," he said meaningfully.

This opium-like substance cannot be eaten as food and may even make lazy people even lazier.

Even if it does not become addictive and does not cause physical dependence, mental dependence is inevitable.

Hu Jinshi gritted his teeth and raised the stakes again: "Then... I only want 20%, and 80% will go to the village chief. I also need to hire someone to look after the Paradise Flower, and I also need to eat. I beg for your permission, village chief."

Eighty percent...

This guy is quite courageous.

Liu Hen said, "We'll talk about this later. By then, the village chief will set aside a special planting area."

"Thank you, Village Chief, for your permission!" Hu Jinshi was overjoyed.

Although he only got 20% of the final harvest, and it was not pure profit, he had to provide all the manpower and material resources himself.

But the flower of paradise is destined to be a luxury product and will be sold at a very high price. During this period, he sold some of the ones he had stored before. The sales were very good and those combat members were generous with their spending.

Too bad there are not many stocks left.

"You go ahead and get ready."

Liu Hen said, "It will take at least half a month, and at most one or two months, for a dedicated planting area to appear. The planting area created by this village chief is countless times better than any place you randomly choose, and it will make 80% of your investment worth it."
