Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 184 The Gold Mine is Located
"Exchange for rice?" Liu Hen raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Zong Ni replied.

"What's the price?" Liu Hen asked.

Zong Ni: "The other party said, one pound of lean meat for one pound of rice."

"One pound for one pound? That's reasonable, but first, let me see that snake meat." Liu Hen said.

"Okay." Zong Ni turned and left, and soon brought back the so-called snake meat.

A piece of dried meat, dark red in color, seems to be of very average quality.

He leaned in to smell it and found that the snake meat actually had a strong smell of mud, and the smell always felt somewhat familiar.

"I definitely never ate snake meat in my previous life, nor in this life. The original owner in my memory never ate snake meat either. How could it be familiar to me?"

He thought about it carefully and suddenly froze: "Isn't this a fucking earthworm? How did it turn into snake meat?"

Although he had never eaten earthworms, he often caught them and played with them when he was a child in his previous life, which left a deep impression on him, so he remembered the taste.

Even though he had never eaten it, he felt that this kind of meat would not be very delicious.

"Earthworm?" Zong Ni was puzzled. She had never heard of this name or seen such a thing.

"Tell them that one kilogram of rice can be exchanged for five kilograms of this so-called snake meat. This time, you can give them a maximum of fifty kilograms of rice. If they are willing to exchange, then they can. If not, forget it."

Liu Hen said calmly: "By the way, ask them if they have any gold mines."

"Okay." Zong Ni left again.

Because there were no people with special abilities among the people coming from the City That Never Sleeps, and the City Lord of the City That Never Sleeps did not come in person, Liu Hen was too lazy to receive them personally.

To put it bluntly, the other party is not worthy of his personal reception at all. Now the Travel Village has the qualifications and confidence to ignore the other party.

the other side.

In the team of the City That Never Sleeps, although Huang Gu appeared calm on the surface, he was a little nervous in his heart.

The two intelligence members were only responsible for bringing them here, and he was the leader of this caravan.

Originally, as the largest caravan within a radius of 5,000 miles except for the Dragon Seeking Temple, they received the highest treatment wherever they went.

But since the Journey Village had even destroyed the Dragon Temple, theoretically they should also be able to destroy the City That Never Sleeps, so they were still very nervous because they were not sure about the attitude of the Journey Village.

The purpose of their coming here this time was not only to trade, but their real purpose was to find out the plans of the Journey Village.

At this moment, he saw Zong Ni walking towards him, and quickly composed himself. He smiled and asked, "Did your village chief agree? The quality of our snake meat is absolutely guaranteed. Not only is it excellent for satisfying hunger, it also tastes absolutely delicious. Everyone who has eaten our snake meat has given it positive reviews."

"Snake meat?"

Zong Ni asked meaningfully, "Our village chief said this is earthworm meat. I wonder if Captain Huang can explain it?"

"Ah this..."

Huang Gu was surprised: "Has your village chief ever seen an earthworm?"

really.

Zong Ni sneered secretly. She could tell from Liu Hen's attitude that earthworm meat was definitely not as good as snake meat.

"Our village chief has traveled a lot and has a wide range of knowledge, so he must have seen earthworms before."

Her attitude also turned cold: "Our village chief said that if it's just this kind of earthworm meat, one kilogram of rice will be exchanged for ten kilograms of earthworm meat, and this time I will only give you fifty kilograms of rice at most."

"One pound of rice for ten pounds of earthworm meat?"

Huang Gu's face looked a little ugly: "Isn't this too much?" Hong Ming, who was helping to calm the situation, didn't quite know what earthworms were, but he knew that this group of people seemed to be cheating.

He immediately released his aura and pressed forward, "Selling us earthworm meat under the guise of snake meat, isn't that excessive? Or does the City of Nevernight think that we, the Travel Village, are easy to bully?"

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Huang Gu's heart trembled, and he quickly explained, "You two must have misunderstood. This meat is not actually earthworm meat. It is a hybrid of an earthworm and a snake. It has the head and venom sac of a snake, but its body is more like an earthworm. Because it has the characteristics of both earthworms and snakes, we call it snake. I don't mean to deceive you."

Zong Ni suddenly realized, and her expression finally brightened a little. "Even so, you didn't explain clearly at the beginning, and our village chief doesn't particularly need this kind of meat. If you insist on trading, I can make you a discount. Eight kilograms of snake meat for one kilogram of rice. This time, due to limited rice, I can only exchange for fifty kilograms at most. Maybe there will be more in the future."

"Eight pounds..."

Huang Gu thought about it and felt that after this kind of rice was exchanged, only the city lord and a few high-ranking officials would be qualified to eat it. It could only be regarded as a luxury and it would be basically impossible to popularize it.

As for snake meat, they had plenty of it. After the first transaction, if the quality of the rice was not good, they could just not trade next time. It was only 50 kilograms anyway, so they wouldn't lose much.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, eight kilograms is eight kilograms."

"By the way, do you have a gold mine?"

At this time, Zong Ni spoke again: "If your city has a gold mine, we can have a deeper cooperation. The supplies that our travel village can provide will definitely not disappoint you."

"Gold mine?"

Huang Gu's heart moved: "Yes, there is, but I didn't bring it this time."

Really?

Zong Ni was delighted, but she remained calm on the surface.

……

"There really is a gold mine? That's great."

Liu Hen smiled and said, "You can take out the Iron and Bronze suits that I'm going to give to the villagers who have made contributions. See what they like. Don't worry about the other supplies. Gold mines are what we lack the most right now."

"Okay." Zong Ni nodded.

"I have transferred 50 kilograms of rice into the storage cabinet. You can go and get busy." Liu Hen said with a smile.

After Zong Ni left, Liu Hen smiled. With the gold mine, the Pickaxe of All Things could be upgraded again.

Once the Pickaxe of Everything is upgraded to Gold, the Bonfire can also be upgraded.

Even though the thermal suit cannot be upgraded directly due to the level limit of the Creation Workbench, simply raising the level of the campfire can greatly improve the safety of the travel village.

As the level of the bonfire increases, its evil-repelling properties will also be greatly enhanced, and its deterrent effect on demons and monsters will be even greater.

'The village's source bonfire will soon be upgraded again.'

Liu Hen looked at the bonfire at the source of the village, and seeing that the experience was almost full, he became even more excited.

Although there is no need to expand the village in the short term, the level of the bonfire at the source of the village determines the scope and power of its rule domain.

This is also indispensable.

The day passed quickly.

What surprised Liu Hen was that the caravan from the City That Never Sleeps was not in a hurry to leave, but instead applied to stay here for one night.

Naturally, he had no objection, and he did not charge them for accommodation. He asked Zong Ni to arrange a villa specifically for the group.

The next day, just as the people from the City That Never Sleeps left, another group of visitors arrived from afar.
