Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 148 Workbench Upgrade Completed

The level of the bonfire at the source of the village was increased, but it did not have any effect on Liu Hen's physical fitness.

However, he was not completely without gain, because his domain of rules was constantly expanding.

The original rule domain had a radius of only one hundred meters.

However, when the source bonfire was upgraded and the blueprint was expanded, the radius of the rule field directly increased to two hundred meters.

This is directly doubled.

However, the size of the village is not the same as the size of the rule area.

The original size of the village was 81 meters long and wide, with a radius of less than 50 meters, which was also the range within which the strong wind could be calmed.

The previous radius of one hundred meters was the range of the bonfire's constant temperature and its evil-repelling and repelling properties.

Now, as the blueprint of the village unfolds, the total size of the village has also increased from 81 meters in length and width to 150 meters in length and width.

Although the length and width increased by less than double, the area increased by far more than double.

"The village size has been reduced to 120 meters in length and width, but the expulsion radius has been reduced to 200 meters..."

Liu Hen was very satisfied: "Although the range of calming strong winds and other harmful forces seems to be only effective within the size of the village, the expulsion and warding off evil spirits also have a constant temperature property and will be effective within a radius of 200 meters."

This is easy to understand. Even within a sphere of influence, there will be different levels of control, which is why there are situations where "unruly people emerge in remote areas."

The farther away from him, the weaker the power of the rule domain will be.

A radius of two hundred meters is more than enough for him. Within this range, demons and other monsters that appear at night will be driven away.

"That's right... Even in the normal villages of my past life, it's not just the areas with buildings that count as villages; there's also a certain amount of public space."

Liu Hen carefully sensed the scope of his own domain and found that it was the same as before -

The so-called control over this area is just a passive characteristic, and I can't take the initiative to do anything within this range.

He didn't know whether this was because his level was not high enough or because the rules of the field were just like this?
Soon, the village upgrade was completed.

The blueprint was completely laid out and became invisible again, disappearing from sight.

Now, as long as he starts the village construction mode, he can build the extended blueprints as well.

But that's not necessary now.

One reason is that there are not so many people in the travel village now, so such a large area is not needed.

Another is that the range is too large, making it difficult to defend.

This is just right now.

As for the extra range, just treat it as a safety range.

From now on, villagers can move freely within that area, and even if they are put away, they can leave the village.

only--

He had some suspicion that the unbuilt areas outside were probably areas that were off-limits.

For example, it is like the unopened area of ​​the current version in the game map.

"Let's explore the area ahead later..."

Paimeng's voice flashed through his mind, and Liu Hen smiled slightly.

At this time, the bonfire at the source of the village had been upgraded. All this was done quietly, and Hong Ming and others were completely unaware of it.

Because outsiders cannot see the rules and regulations, let alone the blueprint.

Liu Hen looked at the upgrade conditions of the bonfire at the source of the village again.

As he expected, to upgrade from level two to level three, without relying on the villagers' worship and offerings, it would require three thousand large pieces of wood.

Three thousand large logs were a huge number even for him now.

"So, let the villagers take their time to offer sacrifices and worship."

Anyway, at present, after the scope of the village is expanded, it will only increase its own rule domain and the scope of special powers such as calming the gale.

However, the power of the special force in the same position has not increased.

I have no plans to expand the village now, so there is no rush for this upgrade.

Unless the level of the manuscript is upgraded again in the future, for example, to gold level.

By then, the rule domain should have other special effects or active powers, and only then will it be necessary to upgrade quickly.

Liu Hen glanced at the Stone Tribe members who were still kneeling in front of the bonfire and said, "Let it be. I'm sure these people will take the initiative to worship the bonfire without my request."

Thinking of this, he called Zong Ni and asked her to arrange the people from the Stone Tribe.

In fact, there is nothing much to arrange. Just tell them that they will also be residents of the Travel Village in the future and can move freely like normal villagers.

As Zong Ni announced this, the people of the Original Stone Tribe immediately stood up. Some were happy, some were silent, and some were sad, and so on.

At this time, an old man from the Yuanshi tribe came over and said respectfully, "Respected village chief, is our chief still alive?"

"do not know."

Liu Hen answered truthfully: "We were separated by the fog of time and space, but as a person with special abilities, as long as he is not teleported to a remote place, he should be fine."

The old man from the Stone Tribe was silent, with a sad expression on his face.

Because there is a high probability that they cannot go back. After being separated in the night fog world, they don’t know when they can reunite.

"Okay, you all go and have a rest. If you perform well, this village chief will let Hong Ming help you heal your hidden injuries." Liu Hen said.

The group of Stone Tribe people that Helian Xiao sent over were all old, weak, sick, and disabled. However, if they were all cured, they could be used as weapons. "Thank you, Village Chief."

The old man from the Stone Tribe responded respectfully and then returned to the crowd.

The people around him looked at him.

Suddenly, Xiao Heishi walked out of the village chief's residence, pointed in a certain direction outside the village, and said solemnly: "Sir, there is a very strong demonic aura in that direction."

"A very powerful demonic aura?"

Liu Hen's expression changed slightly: "How strong is it?"

Little Black Stone thought for a moment and said, "It's similar to the aura emitted by the four tentacles that the master saw after he was teleported back."

"Seventh level? I fucking…"

Liu Hen's face changed completely as he realized that the demon was most likely the 'mountain master' and 'god' that those weirdos had mentioned before.

To him now, the demons of the seventh realm are not much different from gods.

Again, even if he has the ability to resurrect, he is not a masochist and does not want to experience the feeling of death.

"The backup plan has been arranged, so let's get out of here."

Without hesitation, he switched the campfire projection in the equipment bar of the [True Self Interface] to his true self and left immediately.

And at the moment he switched the campfire projection and his real body, everyone found that he had disappeared again.

At the same time, the edge of the village was covered by fog, but unlike before, the outside of the village fence was no longer white, but there was visible space.

But that space had a strong repulsive force, and Hong Ming, who was originally promoting the growth of small trees outside, was directly repelled and appeared at the entrance of the village.

"My arrangement... just thrown away like that?" Hong Ming couldn't help but ask.

"There are a lot of plants here, and we don't need what you have." Liu Hen's voice came from the direction of the campfire and reached the ears of everyone in the village.

Outside, after putting out the bonfire at the origin, Liu Hen let the small black stone that was once again living on his body show him the way, and quickly left in the direction away from the so-called "mountain master".

"No wonder those weirdos were so arrogant before. They must have seen that we have people with special abilities here, but they weren't afraid at all."

Those weirdos claim to be messengers of gods, and they are arrogant and domineering.

If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked too. That demon definitely cannot be a good thing.

His choice was correct, because after walking only a few hundred meters, he sensed many powerful auras chasing him from behind through the sensing ability of the Earth Suit.

Although Xiao Heishi did not sense any demonic aura, it would be troublesome if the 'locals' here were all those powerful long-haired monsters.

At the same time, in the rear.

Tu Fang, who claimed to be a messenger of the gods, had murderous intent on his face and rushed to the location of the Journey Village with hundreds of people.

"What about people?"

"Why is it missing?"

"What about a camp that big?"

Tu Fang was at a loss.

"Mr. Envoy, what should we do?" asked someone nearby.

Although they have long white hairs, they are still human beings. These white hairs are just a characteristic of becoming the followers of gods.

Just like after the people of the Stone Tribe became Helian Xiao's followers, everyone's skin turned black, like the color of stone.

"Chase them, my messenger! They can't get far!"

Tu Fang's heart was filled with murderous intent. After being an envoy for so many years, he had never suffered such a great loss.

Immediately, hundreds of people dispersed and rushed into the darkness at a speed of forty to fifty meters per second.

Because the bonfire buried underground was just an ordinary first-level bonfire, the range of its evil-repelling properties and other effects was only one meter in radius, and it was isolated by the home buildings, so this group of people didn't notice it at all.

……

"So strong, all of them hairy monsters, their pure strength is at least 500 kilograms, luckily I run fast."

Hundreds of meters away, Liu Hen also materialized a thermal hood, allowing the thermal suit to completely cover up his breath, and quietly sped away from this place.

Although the Journey Village is not weak, if those guys charge forward recklessly, it will be useless even if the number of home cannons is multiplied several times.

Because the Home Cannon was not powerful enough to kill those people instantly, and the villagers did not have his auxiliary aiming means, it was impossible for every shot to hit the target.

Thermal suits are amazing, just like bark protecting trees, they not only retain body temperature but also have the effect of concealing breath.

Not to mention the bronze-level thermal suit, even after putting on the hood, he was like a stone, emitting no breath of life.

Because he was worried about being discovered, he didn't dare to use the method of charging and accelerating.

Although it was not a problem for him to get rid of those hairy monsters after using this set of effects, what really frightened him was the so-called 'mountain master'.

Because of the abnormal temperature in the rule area, visibility will also increase significantly. He stays away from those hairy monsters as much as possible and prevents them from entering this range.

With the help of Little Black Stone to keep watch and the power of the earth to sense the surroundings, he avoided the hairy monsters that were searching him several times.

He traveled safely all the way and advanced for more than 30 kilometers in one breath before he finally got rid of the group of hairy monsters.

Liu Hen did not stop there. He stepped on the thick snow and continued to move forward under the guidance of the small black stone.

Occasionally, when he encountered some demonic aura, even if it was very weak, he would choose to avoid it, because who knows if that demon might be a subordinate of the so-called "mountain master"?

In this way, a day passed, and when he came to a mountain range with many trees, the upgrade of the Creation Workbench was finally completed and reached the silver level.
