Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 164 Guarding Mission and Future Plans

Those people are still here, always following Hu Jinshi. Even though they have joined the Travel Village, they are still loyal to Hu Jinshi.

So he asked curiously, "Were those who are still following you raised by you?"

"Almost all of them." Hu Jinshi answered truthfully.

Suddenly, Liu Hen looked at this guy with a new respect.

You know, there is famine everywhere in this world.

Many people can't even support themselves.

As a result, Hu Jinshi actually bought a child to raise himself.

And he didn't seem to treat them as slaves, but rather as his subordinates to be trained.

This is amazing.

If this kind of person is given a chance, he will not soar to great heights, but he will not be far behind.

"When the children you adopted grow up and become sensible, you will personally lead them to participate in the village entry ceremony." Liu Hen said.

"Thank you, Village Chief." Hu Jinshi was delighted.

Although Liu Hen did not say it explicitly, this decision was equivalent to giving him a certain degree of power.

This is a great start.

Liu Hen asked again: "You should have stored a lot of food, right?"

Hu Jinshi observed Liu Hen's expression and saw that he was just asking a normal question and had no intention of questioning him, so he answered frankly: "The food I stored was all obtained by me personally and exchanged for resources. It is definitely not kept for personal use."

Although this is actually no different from private collection.

"This village chief has no intention of blaming you."

Liu Hen smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you are such a capable person."

After a pause, he suddenly said, "This village chief has always been generous to those with ability. How about this? Starting tomorrow... no, starting now, you won't go mining. Have your people guard the spiritual fields and prevent anyone from destroying them. When the Heavenly Flowers are ready for sale, this village chief will fund you to form a caravan."

"Funding?" Hu Jinshi asked hurriedly.

"That's right, it's funding, you don't need to pay extra money." Liu Hen smiled.

"Thank you, village chief!"

Hu Jinshi was overjoyed and knelt down excitedly.

Liu Hen smiled with satisfaction: "Work hard, the village chief has high hopes for you."

"I will definitely not let down the village chief's high expectations." Hu Jinshi immediately changed his self-proclaimed name to subordinate.

Because from this moment on, he will no longer be just an ordinary villager of Lulv Village, but one of the village chief's direct subordinates.

"By the way, bring the Wu brothers and sisters along when the time comes."

Liu Hen suddenly said, "They are also very talented in business, but they are still a little behind you. You should guide them well."

"I'll leave it to the village chief to decide." Hu Jinshi said respectfully.

During the time when the two were talking, Haimi's teeth grew a little taller.

The seeds of the paradise flower that Liu Hen had just planted actually sprouted.

Hu Jinshi was so excited when he saw this scene that his body was shaking. He had already imagined what would happen in the future.

The paradise flower, which originally took four or five months to mature, can now mature in just 10 days.

This is incredible!
At first he was a little bit unconvinced, mainly because he found it hard to believe.

But when he saw that the newly planted paradise flower seeds had sprouted in such a short time, he knew that the village chief was not lying.

"Okay, get up."

Liu Hen said, "Go and arrange for your people to come and guard."

"Yes, Village Chief." Hu Jinshi hurried to make arrangements.

Just at this time, Hong Ming came back with the four injured villagers.

Those four people have been cured by him.

He actually overheard the conversation between Liu Hen and Hu Jinshi, and asked curiously, "Since you let others guard the spiritual field, how will you arrange for these four people?"

"They are also responsible for guarding the spiritual fields."

Liu Hen said, "Hu Jinshi will form a caravan in the future, and his people can't always be here watching."

Hong Ming understood: "So these four people are being raised for nothing?"

"Can this be called raising it for free? Or do you think that this village chief cannot afford to support it?" Liu Hen glanced at him.

"That's not what I meant." Hong Ming shut up.

Liu Hen added, "This is to let them familiarize themselves with their positions in advance. The spiritual fields will become a very important part of the travel village in the future. The current four people may not be enough."

"Well, you're both right."

Hong Ming didn't dare to argue with Liu Hen anymore.

He was very clear about his situation, and he originally had certain advantages, such as growing plants.

But now that Liu Hen has this spiritual field, his value to Liu Hen has been infinitely reduced.

Now his only role is to be a combat member.

As long as a fourth-level psychic is given time to prepare in advance, he can display considerable combat power.

But when he thought of the mysterious experiment Liu Hen had done far away before, he felt a little insecure again.

If Liu Hen could use that terrifying attack method that was comparable to the full-strength attack of a sixth-level demon continuously, he would no longer be worth being a combat member.

Perhaps his ultimate value is to be a doctor and treat the wounded combatants and miners in the village.

At this moment, he suddenly missed his Green Xia City very much.

"It would be great if Green Cloud City still existed."

He sighed inwardly.

At that time, he had tens of thousands of subordinates, and he could do whatever he wanted without asking anyone's opinion.

But there's no going back.

Because all his subordinates at the time were brought up bit by bit by himself over decades.

Either he went out to capture the barbarians to make up the numbers, or they were the descendants of those who had followed him.

It took decades to see such a small number of people.

It is impossible to have such a grand occasion again in the short term.

At this time, Liu Hen saw Hu Jinshi coming with his men, so he and Xiao Heishi went back to rest.

However, after returning to the village chief's residence, he did not go to bed immediately. Instead, he took advantage of the fact that the workbench was not being upgraded and made some more tables, chairs and other furniture.

You can ignore the other villagers for now, but you still need to take care of the management team including Hong Ming and Zong Ni.

Although he has never thought highly of Hong Ming, he is, after all, a fourth-level psychic, and the only doctor so far.

The most important thing is that Hong Ming is very pragmatic and never cheats, so I can't abuse him too much.

A table is for displaying food. People who have a table have food that can be taken out and eaten at any time.

He had tried it before and found that the food placed on the table could be kept warm, so there was no need to worry about it cooling down over time.

The chair he made can slowly restore energy and even recover from injuries very slowly, although it can only be used in the village.

But this kind of thing can also be considered a symbol of status to some extent.

Since we want to stabilize, some rules need to be established.

At that time, the management should be treated as such and stimulate the enthusiasm of the villagers a little.

"In two or three days, the bonfire at the source of the village will be upgraded again, and then the village will be expanded."

Liu Hen had already made a decision in his mind.

It just so happens that the villagers have dug a large amount of iron ore for themselves, and they will use the iron ore to rebuild the village when the time comes.

"Once the village reaches level three, the blueprint area should be 200 meters long and wide. 200 meters long and wide is considered to be a starting size, and we can then recruit more people."

During this period of time, he has discovered that there are quite a few local barbarians in this area.

As long as the treatment here is good enough, and with Hong Ming's deception, there will definitely be a large number of wastelanders willing to squeeze in.

Because there was a lot of wood available, Liu Hen made a hundred sets of tables and chairs in one go.

Each set of tables and chairs consists of a table and six chairs.

After the table was finished, he put the materials for ten hoes into the crafting column.

He had experimented with it before and found that this silver hoe did not have to be equipped in the [True Self Interface] to be used. Ordinary villagers holding a hoe could theoretically also cultivate in the spiritual field.

Since Hu Jinshi wanted to rent a piece of land, he must give him some hoes, otherwise he would not be able to even dig up those spiritual fields.

Protected by the bonfire at the source of the village, the spiritual field cannot be dug up with any tools other than the silver hoe.

Forced reclamation will be considered destruction and will be stopped by the bonfire at the source of the village.
