Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 149 Washing formula?
'Finally the upgrade is complete.'

Although Liu Hen couldn't wait to see what was special about the silver-level workbench, he was outside and couldn't control it remotely, so he could only be patient.

"Heishi, take a closer look. Are there any demons nearby?" he asked in his mind.

While on the way, he had asked the little black stone and learned that the little black stone could sense demons from far away when it was in a very quiet state.

The more powerful the demon, the easier it is to be sensed.

The seventh-level demon 'Mountain Lord' was actually very far away from the travel village at that time, at least hundreds of kilometers away.

The reason why the little black stone could sense it was that the other party was too strong, like a bright light in the night fog world.

The other was that the other party didn't seem to intend to hide his aura at all, and was intimidating everyone with impunity.

There were an abnormal number of trees here, so he was a little afraid to move forward and prepared to let Little Black Stone sense it first.

It is clearly a desolate world of night fog, but there is a tree every few hundred meters, and these trees are relatively tall, with the tallest being more than three meters.

If there were only one or two "big trees" like this, he wouldn't think too much about it.

But the problem is that most of the trees here are like this, like a forest.

"Behind us is the mountain master of the seventh realm whom we have never met. If there is also a powerful demon in front, it will be troublesome."

After a day and a night, even if he didn't deliberately run faster, he still covered at least 400 kilometers. Logically, he should have left the territory of the "mountain master".

What he was most worried about was that he would just escape from the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's den.

After a full five minutes, Little Black Stone finally replied: "I haven't sensed any powerful demon's presence, but there are many demons in this forest, and the strongest should be in the fourth realm."

'a lot of?'

Liu Hen frowned. Although the strongest was only at the fourth level, it would be very troublesome if there were too many of them.

"Those demons are scattered," Little Black Stone explained.

'That's good. ’

Liu Hen breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were not gathered together, and with Xiao Heishi, a humanoid radar that could sense the location of monsters, avoiding them would not be a problem.

"Then find a suitable place to release the village."

In fact, if possible, he would like to carry the village with him forever.

But unfortunately, in this situation, I cannot enter the village, and the people in the village cannot leave, so there is no way to develop at all.

In addition, in this state, I cannot remotely control facilities such as workbenches and lockers.

As for building a separate house outside?

That would be a bit redundant.

He continued to move forward, and while on the way he couldn't help but take out his pickaxe and collect some larger trees.

[Tree Core +1]

When all the trees in front of us were harvested, a tree core was collected.

Suddenly Liu Hen had an idea and hurried towards the nearby tree to collect again.

[Tree Core +1]

Sure enough, another tree core was collected.

He looked at the more two or three meter high "trees" in the distance, with a look of surprise and doubt in his eyes.

"Don't tell me that the trees here all have cores?"

He tried to pick a random tree and collect it again.

[Tree Core +1]

Sure enough, the moment the tree was completely harvested, another tree core was collected.

'this……'

Liu Hen was shocked. If the cores of the trees here could be collected, then not only would there be enough to give every villager a complete set of clothes, but there would also be more than enough to sell to outsiders.

"What kind of tree cores are these?"

He quickly checked the identification information of these tree cores in his space backpack and found that they were all the cores of the glutinous wood.

"It's a shame, the core of the sapwood tree isn't very effective in combat... but it's better than nothing."

The characteristic of the sticky wood is that it has a lot of fibers and its branches are poisonous. Apart from a few barbarians using it to make ropes or coarse linen clothes, it has no other use.

"It happens that this place is quite flat, so let's find a spacious place to build the village."

Liu Hen continued to move forward, while letting the little black stone sense whether there were any minerals.

"Sir, there is an iron ore ahead," Little Black Stone suddenly said.

At the same time, a stone flew up and pointed to the right front: "There are a lot of them, a lot of them."

'A lot?'

Liu Hen's heart moved and he immediately walked in that direction.

Although he still has a lot of iron ore reserves, if there is enough iron ore, he can use the iron ore to build the village, which is better than using slag.

"Here...did you bring your little one?"

Suddenly a voice sounded in my ears.

Liu Hen paused and continued walking forward.

"I brought it... Hey, it's so warm..."

"what happened?"

"Don't worry about it for now, hurry up and exchange, I'm starving..."

Hearing the strange conversation, Liu Hen couldn't help but quicken his pace and soon saw what kind of transaction the two gangs were making.

The leaders of both sides were seen each holding a blackened baby that was almost frozen to death, preparing to make a deal.

There were five people on each side. They looked at the almost frozen babies in each other's hands with greed on their faces, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Exchange your children for food?"

Liu Hen's face darkened. He had never expected to witness such a thing. "Who?"

"somebody is coming……"

"Protect the 'food'!"

Because visibility suddenly increased, the group of people saw Liu Hen from afar.

The next moment, the two scavenger teams picked up wooden spears and other weapons and looked over with fierce expressions.

Even though they all felt the abnormal rise in temperature and the cessation of the strong wind, they were not overly afraid.

Because their eyes have turned green and they are almost losing their minds due to hunger.

At this time, even if a demon appears, they will rush forward regardless of everything, just to tear off a piece of meat to fill their stomachs.

Liu Hen was silent for a moment, and suddenly released the village. This location was just right.

The group of barbarians who were about to eat their own children suddenly saw fog rolling, and then buildings appeared out of thin air.

There was even a fire in the center of the building.

Because Liu Hen's position was just a hundred meters away from them, and Liu Hen's position was the location of the bonfire at the source of the village.

So when the village was materialized, the village gate was just dozens of meters away from the group of people, and they could see the situation inside the village at a glance.

"This is……"

"demon?"

"Damn it... this is a demonic illusion!"

The two scavenger teams seemed to finally come to their senses and prepared to escape.

"Welcome to Journey Village."

Suddenly Liu Hen said: "This village chief can accept the nearby barren people, the premise is that they are obedient."

A hundred meters away, the group of barbarians remained indifferent and were ready to escape.

"People who join the Travel Village can get food." Liu Hen spoke again.

Suddenly, all those who were preparing to escape were unable to run as if their feet had taken root.

"I join..."

"And me, I'm joining in..."

"As long as you give me food, I will accept you even if you are a demon..."

"Be careful, don't be fooled, how can such a good thing happen?"

More than half of the people chose to join without hesitation after hearing that they could get food by joining the Travel Village.

But some people still remain rational and worry that it is a trap set by demons.

Because the scene in front of him was too weird. There was nothing here originally, and the buildings and fires that suddenly appeared were too abnormal.

"Liu Hen, where are we now?" Hong Ming came over and asked.

Zong Ni also came over.

Liu Hen retracted his gaze and said to Zong Ni, "Make arrangements for these barren dwellers. You don't have to let all of them join. First, ask them what specialties they have. You can sell some of the carbohydrate porridge to the outside world at the cheapest possible price."

He needed more villagers to offer sacrifices to the bonfire and gain experience for upgrading, so he decided to lower the threshold for joining the travel village.

Of course, this is just the threshold.

If he wants to get more food in the future, he has to work. He can't support everyone for nothing.

Given the special nature of the wastelanders, except for a very small number of people, most of them should be very hardworking.

"Yes." Zong Ni accepted the order respectfully.

Liu Hen arrived at the village entrance and looked at the two scavenging teams dozens of meters away. "Lulv Village hates cannibals. Turn back now before they make a mistake. This village chief is a human with special abilities, not a demon. That's all I have to say."

"Human mutant?"

"He's actually a mutant..."

Dozens of meters away, the two scavenging teams felt something in their hearts and joy flashed in their eyes.

Liu Hen turned around and said to Hong Ming: "If these people dare to eat people, kill them."

"Leave it to me. I also hate man-eating beasts." Hong Ming nodded.

Liu Hen once again said to Zong Ni who followed him: "How is your memory?"

"Basically, once you meet someone, you won't forget them in a short period of time," Zong Ni replied.

"That's great. Everyone who comes to the Journey Village can get a free bowl of carbohydrate porridge. But the price is that you have to kneel before the bonfire for an hour."

Liu Hen said: "Everyone only has one chance."

After saying that, he strode towards the village chief's residence, eager to see what the difference was between the silver-level workbench.

"I kneel... give me food..."

In the distance, the two scavenging teams could no longer hold back when they heard Liu Hen's words.

But all this had nothing to do with Liu Hen, because he had already arrived in front of the workbench.

The silver-level workbench looks silver-white at first glance, giving it a sci-fi feel, and there are several more sophisticated gears on the surface.

In addition, the silver-level workbench is also larger in size.

Before he could open the production interface to check the new recipe, he was stunned by the upgrade data of the silver workbench.

(Silver) Creation Workbench Level 1: Upgrade requirements (200 Silver Ore, 20000 Magic Crystals); Upgrading unlocks more recipes.

[New Village Defense Cannon Recipe: Crafting Materials (1,000 Silver Ore, 100 Magic Crystals)]
