Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 128 Equipment Bar

There were several people kneeling near the village origin bonfire, and Liu Hen could vaguely hear them mumbling something to themselves.

"God bless me...I want to dig up more copper..."

"May the divine fire bless me to be as energetic tomorrow as before, to not be afraid of the cold, and may the mine remain stable and not collapse..."

The villagers who obtained village membership seemed to be mentally affected and felt that the bonfire could protect them.

As the owner of the bonfire, Liu Hen initially thought it was just the villagers' fantasy.

Until one day, Chang Xin told him that when a villager encountered a missed four-armed monster, the four-armed monster did not attack the villager, but instead ran away in fear.

Only then did he realize that the villagers of the Journey Village might actually be sheltered by the bonfire and have acquired the magical property of driving away monsters in the darkness.

This is incredible, he himself does not have this characteristic, because the driving characteristic comes from the bonfire, he just controls the bonfire.

The bonfire is the source of the village, and he is the source of the bonfire.

The villagers who have obtained village membership instinctively regard the bonfire as sacred, but do not regard him as a god. It is obvious that the bonfire is the source of influence on the villagers' hearts.

After researching for a period of time, he found that although the number of village registration quotas was not clearly marked in the village register, in theory, there was an upper limit to the number of village registration quotas.

However, this upper limit is determined by the size of the village.

Theoretically, the upper limit of the number of village members at this stage should be one thousand. Once the quota is full, you have to upgrade to get more places.

This makes the village quota even more valuable, which is one of the reasons why he agreed to the screening threshold set by Chang Xin that mining can only be completed by the villagers themselves.

Enter the village chief's residence and return to the room.

Liu Hen lay on the simple wooden bed, closed his eyes and looked at the data of all things in his mind.

He hadn't noticed it before, but now he looked carefully and suddenly found that there was a small icon in the upper left corner of the data panel of the All Things Pickaxe.

That icon... at first glance, it looks a bit like his standard photo, except that the standard photo is a holographic image, three-dimensional, but it only shows the head.

'What is this? A new feature that appears after the All-Purpose Pickaxe reaches Silver level?'

This was not included in the information that was previously revealed.

Liu Hen was suspicious and tried to open it with his mind.

Suddenly, a brand new panel appeared, and his own three-dimensional model appeared in the panel.

[True Self: I am not my true self, and I need everything else to complete me.]

The moment the new panel was opened, this information came to mind.

"I am not my true self, and I need everything else to complete me?"

Liu Hen suddenly realized something: "This means... I need external things to become the real 'me' in a certain sense?"

He couldn't help but look around the three-dimensional model in this [True Self Interface].

There are many boxes around your 3D model.

"This is... the equipment slot?"

He was shocked and realized that this might be the core of his ability and the embodiment of his strength.

"The previous All-King Pickaxe definitely didn't have this feature. It probably only appeared after it was upgraded to Silver."

So, are these boxes used to place "external objects" and let them complete "me"?

He quickly clicked on one of the 'equipment slots', thinking that this might be where one of the modules for the five-piece thermal suit was placed.

Because there are exactly five boxes around my three-dimensional model, corresponding to the five pieces of the thermal suit.

But when he clicked on the box, he found that this was where the complete thermal suit was placed, and it had to be put in completely for it to take effect.

but--

You need a silver-level suit to put it in.

Those below silver level are not qualified.

What shocked and even delighted him was that after he clicked on the equipment column with his mind, he obtained some information—

Once you put a silver-level suit in, you can 'permanently' obtain the corresponding physique and the suit effect of that suit.

The suit placed in this equipment slot can be hidden or put on at any time and anywhere.

When hiding, your physical fitness and suit effects will not disappear.

In that state, since I was naked on the surface, I could still wear a thermal suit.

Hide one set and wear another set, and there will be a cumulative effect on your physical fitness.

Although the suit you are wearing may be damaged and the enhancement provided by the suit will disappear, the effect of the hidden suit will never disappear.

'hiss……'

Liu Hen took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and there was a deep smile in his eyes.

"So Silver rank was the beginning of my rise. No wonder..."

No wonder he'd felt a significant improvement when the All Things Pickaxe reached Silver, but previously, it hadn't seemed that significant. The true improvement was in the True Self Interface, and since these pieces of equipment hadn't been added yet, he hadn't felt anything.

"Even with my current bronze-level suit, with one hidden and one surface, stacked together, I can possess over a thousand kilograms of pure strength. What will happen when I reach silver level?"

Unfortunately, bronze-level suits cannot be placed in this equipment slot.

"By the way, since there's more than one equipment slot, can I also put thermal suits in the other equipment slots?"

He closed his eyes again, opened the true self interface, and looked at the other equipment columns.

The second equipment slot is actually the left weapon slot. Only weapons can be placed here, and at the same time, they must be silver-level weapons to be placed here.

After putting a weapon into this equipment slot, you can summon that weapon with your left hand at any time without being restricted by the space backpack.

Even if the space backpack cannot be opened during the upgrade of the Pickaxe of All Things, it will not affect the taking out and putting away of this weapon.

"It seems there's no restriction on whether it has to be a Tang sword or some kind of firearm, so it can be changed at will?"

Liu Hen looked thoughtfully at another equipment column.

As expected, this is the right weapon, which is the weapon that needs to be summoned by the right hand. After putting it in, it will no longer be restricted by the space backpack.

This feature is very good and can avoid the previous situation where the space backpack cannot be opened during the upgrade of the All-King Pickaxe.

He continued to look at the fourth equipment column.

What surprised him was that this equipment bar was actually where the hoe was placed.

"A hoe? Does that mean farming is one of my abilities?"

But the hoe recipe has not appeared yet, and it should be made after the workbench is upgraded to silver level.

He looked at the last equipment column.

When he saw the function of this equipment bar, he felt a deep joy in his heart again.

Because this last equipment slot is where the campfire is placed.

Once you place a campfire into this equipment slot, you will gain the full features of the campfire.

At that time, you will be a walking human-shaped evil-repelling bonfire. The range of the bonfire will be your field of power, and the place where you are will be the pure land.

At that time, the fuel of the bonfire will provide you with endless energy, so that you will never be exhausted again.

In that state, as long as the fuel of the campfire is not exhausted, the effect of the thermal suit can theoretically be used continuously.

Especially the effects of thermobaric bomb suits, which require body heat to release.

As long as a bonfire is placed in this equipment slot, the set effect of the thermobaric bomb set can be used continuously.

Of course, this is just an example. The potential of the thermobaric bomb set is too low, and bronze level is the upper limit. It cannot be upgraded further and is destined to not be placed in this equipment slot.

But what surprised Liu Hen was not just this. The most surprising thing was that once he put a bonfire into the equipment bar and the bonfire was lit, he would be immortal.

The bonfire placed in this equipment bar is the fire of your soul. As long as this bonfire is still burning, you will not die.

In that state, if both the body and soul were obliterated, one would be revived from the nearest flame.

"As long as the bonfire is burning, I won't die. Isn't this considered divine?"

Liu Hen took a deep breath. Before, Hong Ming always talked about how terrifying and amazing rule-based psychics were, but he didn't feel anything.

Because at that time he felt that apart from being able to make various items, he was really nothing special.

The truth is that those items are external things. He always feels that external things are external things after all and do not belong to his true strength.

It was not until now that he finally understood that rule-based psychics were truly awesome and truly remarkable.

It was not until now that he finally understood why the big conch in the Hongluo Camp was so afraid of him.

Indeed, rule-based psychics are difficult to kill. It would be very uncomfortable to fight against such a being, and relying on realm is useless.

'I'm so awesome!'

Liu Hen couldn't sleep. Although the thermal suit and other equipment could not be put into the equipment bar, the campfire could be put in.

"You need an energy-grade bonfire to put it in. I already have several energy-grade bonfires."

He jumped out of bed, walked out of the room, left the village chief's residence, and prepared to go to the hill outside to light a bonfire.

However, at this moment, he suddenly looked at the nearby village source bonfire, and thought: "It seems that there is no restriction on a simple energy-grade bonfire. The village source bonfire should also be fine, right?"

Thinking of this, he had an idea and immediately walked towards the bonfire in front of the village chief's residence.

Because it was already late at night and time to go to bed, the village was quiet throughout the journey, with only combat members standing guard and patrolling at the head and end of the village.

Liu Hen came to the bonfire at the source of the village, and wanted to see if he could put the bonfire into his equipment bar.

However, at this moment, a piece of information came to his mind, which shocked him.

[Currently, there are no beds, and villagers cannot sleep. Once the bonfire at the source is extinguished, the village will disappear, and the villagers will be left in the outside world. The villagers underground will be crushed to death by the earth.]

Liu Hen paused, a look of surprise and doubt flashing in his eyes: "Without beds, the villagers can't sleep... Does this mean that if there are beds, the villagers will fall into sleep as the village disappears, and will be collected along with the village?"
