Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 165 Lord Black Snake
the next day.

After Liu Hen got up, he couldn't wait to go outside, and found that the shrimp seedlings had grown taller, reaching a height of at least 1.5 meters.

However, at this time, the dried shrimp seedlings no longer continue to grow taller, and change from their original vertical growth to horizontal growth.

It is worth mentioning that dried shrimp sprouts and rice seedlings are indeed very similar, except for the color.

When the rice seedlings are still sprouts, they are green.

However, during the budding period, the color of the shrimp seedlings also tends to be blood red.

Apart from the color, the seedlings are indeed very similar to rice seedlings.

At this time, the seedlings of the paradise flower have grown to one meter high.

"Meet the village chief."

Hu Jinshi had been guarding here. When he saw Liu Hen appear, he hurriedly saluted.

Then he seemed to think of something and asked tentatively, "Village Chief, I gave you more than just these Heavenly Flower seeds, right? Don't you need to plant the others?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Hen took out the remaining Paradise Flower seeds and threw them over: "These are ordinary seeds, most of which are of low quality and useless. The one that this village chief planted is the finest one, and I will only plant the best in the future. You can keep these ordinary quality seeds for yourself, but don't plant them."

"I see. I'll remember that." Hu Jinshi replied respectfully.

Although he felt that there were still extra spiritual fields here that could be used for planting.

But since the village chief said so, he had no choice but to obey.

"Nothing happened last night, right?" Liu Hen asked.

Hu Jinshi: "My Lord, everything is as usual."

"Village chief, everything is normal." The four villagers who were responsible for guarding the spiritual fields also responded in the same way.

Liu Hen nodded in satisfaction: "The spiritual field is an inseparable part of the Journey Village, and it is also a very important part, so you must watch it carefully and not slack off for even a moment."

"Yes, Village Chief." The four villagers answered seriously.

Liu Hen thought that the hoes should be ready, so he turned around and went back to the village chief's residence, entered his room, opened the workbench, and took the ten finished hoes.

Then, he continued to put in soil and magic crystals, preparing to create more spiritual fields.

There are only eleven spiritual fields now. Although they have not been used up yet, there will be more seeds after four days when the shrimps are ripe.

By then, eleven spiritual fields will not be enough.

Judging from the current situation, only one seed can be planted in one spiritual field.

A spiritual field is one square meter in size.

His spiritual fields are very similar to the farmlands in the game. One piece of land can only grow one crop and cannot grow more than that.

Although it should be possible to forcibly dig a hole in that piece of farmland and plant the seeds there.

But that may lead to competition for nutrients, which is not worth the effort.

Anyway, there was nothing urgently needed at the moment, so Liu Hen did not upgrade the workbench immediately. He planned to produce a sufficient number of spiritual fields before upgrading.

He filled all ten crafting slots with materials, waited for the countdown to begin, then opened the Creation and Combination interface again, ready to try his luck for the day.

He first put in those ominous bones to see if he could synthesize something.

If I can synthesize something, maybe I can use this opportunity to find out the secret of Qiulong Mountain.

Unfortunately, his luck was bad this time. He put in the materials 9 times in a row and failed every time.

So he changed the materials and combinations.

"This is the last time. Today is definitely the last time. From now on, I will only synthesize ten times a day at most. If I fail, I fail. I will never do more. There is no good ending for gamblers."

Liu Hen thought so in his mind, then randomly selected a few materials and put them into the synthesis slot, and clicked start.

What he didn't expect was that it was successful this time.

An item appears in the finished product column, and an additional recipe appears in the crafting interface.

"It worked, and a recipe was even created?"

Liu Hen was surprised and happy, and hurried to check what it was.

[Wood Crusher Recipe: A device specifically designed for crushing wood. Crafting Materials: One large log, seven small logs, one magic crystal.] 'Wood Crusher?'

Liu Hen was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy flashed in his eyes: "Do you want me to become a hands-off boss?"

Because he immediately thought of how to use this device.

The current process of making carbohydrate porridge is to first collect the remaining sawdust after wood is collected, and then use the sawdust to cook out organic carbon.

After the organic carbon is produced, use the organic carbon and ice cubes to make carbohydrate nutritious porridge.

He had previously experimented and found that any sawdust that was finely divided could be used to produce organic carbon.

As long as you make organic carbon and add pure ice cubes you have collected, you can make carbohydrate nutritious porridge.

"In the future, we will give this wood crusher to the villagers to use. They will then crush the wood themselves, produce organic carbon, and make their own carbohydrate porridge."

Liu Hen felt relieved: "Now I don't have to support them all the time. They can support themselves. I just need to give them permission."

But after thinking about it, he decided to select some people specifically to use the wood chipper.

It is impossible to give everyone a wood chipper. That would be a waste and would make the wood chipper seem worthless.

"Let Wu Yuanxia take charge of this matter."

Liu Hen made a decision in his mind.

Among the Wu brothers and sisters, Wu Yuanming is the most ambitious, and the others almost just follow him and have no opinions of their own.

If we really want to form a caravan in the future, we can let Wu Yuanming follow Hu Jinshi to get familiar with the situation for a while, and then if Wu Yuanming wants to form a caravan, we can give him a chance.

If others do not want to go on business, other arrangements can be made.

After all, those four people were the first ones to follow him besides Xiao Heishi, so they naturally could not be ignored.

"In that case..."

Liu Hen immediately thought: "After receiving the newly made spiritual field tomorrow, I will make a cooking stove."

He now uses the campfire's cooking function to prepare food.

But the bonfire can only be used by yourself, no one else can use it.

Even if you want to give permission, you can't.

The cooking stove is different. In theory, as long as you don’t restrict it, all villagers with village membership can use it.

As long as a cooking stove is made, carbohydrate porridge can be formed into an assembly line and made quickly without having to do it yourself.

At that time, someone will use a wood chipper to crush the wood, and someone will use a cooking stove to make organic carbon and carbohydrate nutritious porridge, so I will no longer have to worry about food for the villagers.

Anyway, if the things made by these devices are used by others, the finished products can only be collected in the lockers.

You only need to add restrictions on the lockers, and you don’t have to worry about someone embezzling money.

While Liu Hen was constantly planning how to be lazy in the future, he was more than 500 meters away from Lucheng Village.

Two men dressed like ordinary barbarians were talking in low voices.

"That place should be Lucheng Village. The distance was too far last time and the test was not accurate enough. Let's test it again here." One of them said.

Another person was a little worried: "Isn't this a little too close? If the people in the Journey Village are too aggressive, there's no way the two of us will make it back alive."

"No matter what, we are also Lord Black Snake's subordinates and citizens of the City That Never Sleeps. Even if the Journey Village wants to kill us, they have to give Lord Black Snake face!"

The man who spoke first said, "Lord Black Snake said that we don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either. As an outside force, we are merely counting the strength of the forces within our territory. We are not going to do anything to them."

"I hope so." The other person was still a little worried.

Because they all heard that the Journey Village had a conflict with the Dragon Seeking Temple, but eventually escaped safely.

This is incredible.

You know, even Lord Black Snake doesn't want to provoke the Dragon God Temple.

However, the strange thing was that they had previously detected from a distance that the overall strength of the Journey Village was not strong, and the strongest was only at the fourth level.

There was clearly something wrong, which was one of the reasons they decided to get closer and test it again.
