Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 189: Tiger Skin and Preparing for Rapid Upgrade

"The fragrance you smell now, Lord God's Messenger, is the aroma of fish soup."

Zong Ni explained dutifully, "Before we came here, we got some fish. Our village chief usually wouldn't eat it himself, and we've never eaten it before. This time, thanks to the Lord God's messenger, we can also taste the delicacy."

"Village Chief Liu is so polite."

Bai Ling was a little surprised. She had never smelled such delicious food before. When she was in the Box Snow Mountain before, even though she was a messenger of God, the food she ate was actually very ordinary.

Sometimes conditions are limited and she even has to eat raw food. Anyway, she has the blood of a snow demon and is not averse to raw food. Raw food that has been specially processed can even be considered delicious.

But compared to the fragrance I smell now, it is nothing.

Finally, Bai Ling was invited by Zong Ni to the main table, where Liu Hen, Hong Ming and Xiao Heishi were already waiting.

Liu Hen asked the Wu brothers and sisters to go to the other four tables one by one to entertain the other people from Frame Snow Mountain.

He brought Hongming and Xiao Heishi to the main table to entertain the Bai Ling messenger.

"Please take a seat, Envoy Bai Ling. I hope you find the food in the Travel Village accustomed to it." Liu Hen said with a smile.

"Village Chief Liu is so polite. This... banquet is a bit too sumptuous."

Bai Ling looked at the thirty servings of food on the table. Although she couldn't help drooling, she still greeted them with a smile and sat down.

"The Yeti tribe of the Frame Snow Mountain are my friends from the Journey Village. No matter how rich and generous the feast is, it won't be too much."

Liu Hen smiled and said, "Besides, the Snow Girl helped this village chief solve a big problem, so this is what I should do."

At this point, he suddenly asked, "I wonder if the Snow Girl could descend again? This village chief also hopes to entertain her well as a token of gratitude."

"This……"

Bai Ling pondered for a moment, "I can ask Lady Snow, but I can't guarantee whether Lady Snow is willing to come."

"Then I'll have to trouble the White Spirit Envoy." Liu Hen said with a smile, and asked everyone at the table to stand up and wait.

Bai Ling also stood up, closed her eyes slightly, and communicated with the Snow Girl who was far away in the deepest part of the Frame Snow Mountain.

The deepest part of the snow-capped mountains, on the peak.

In the ancient temple that has existed since time immemorial, a look of surprise appeared on the Snow Girl's pretty face.

"Banquet? It's such an old term."

He guessed that Liu Hen must have something to talk to her about, and might even want to use her as an excuse.

However, because He also knew Liu Hen's peculiarity, and since He had decided to get involved in this cause and effect, there was no need to avoid it deliberately.

"Since He personally invited me, let's go again."

……

In the village of Journey, the village chief lives in front of the door, at the main table only about ten meters away from the bonfire.

A sacred aura suddenly emanated from Bai Ling.

The snowmen at the other four tables nearby were all shocked.

"The Snow Lady has arrived?"

"Greetings, Lady Snow Woman..."

The group of snowmen quickly turned around and saluted.

Bai Ling opened her eyes and looked at Liu Hen across from her. "My real body cannot leave the Snow Mountain, so I can only come here in this form. I hope Village Chief Liu doesn't mind."

"How could that be? You're too polite, Snow Girl. But it would be presumptuous of me to ask you to make another trip."

Liu Hen quickly smiled and said, "Please sit down, Snow Girl. I hope you can get used to the food that this village chief prepared."

The Snow Girl smiled slightly and sat down slowly.

As soon as she sat down, her beautiful eyes flickered slightly, sensing the magic of this chair: "Village Chief Liu's methods are indeed extraordinary."

"You're too kind, Snow Girl."

Liu Hen smiled and said, "Please have your meal."

As he spoke, he also said to the people at other tables: "Everyone, please eat your meal and ignore us. Brothers and sisters of the Wu family, please treat our guests well."

"Yes, my lord."

The Wu brothers and sisters spoke in unison.

"Zong Ni, give everyone a glass of water."

Liu Hen said again: "The purpose of boiled water is to drink when you are thirsty, not as a main food. Of course, this is the habit of the village chief. If you don't like boiled water, you can ignore it and use it to rinse your mouth."

He took Hongming and Xiao Heishi to sit down and invited Xue Nu to start eating.

The Snow Girl possessed by Bai Ling sat very upright and was very gentle when eating, showing her beauty.

To outsiders, and even to Liu Hen, the Snow Girl seemed to be proud of her status and ate in small bites.

However, no one knew that the Snow Girl was actually very nervous because she could see some special things about Liu Hen. The vision of being protected by the divine ring and worshipped by all living beings put a lot of pressure on her.

Although he has now realized that the visions of 'divine ring protection' and 'worship from all living beings' seem to be due to this travel village.

But no matter what, this kind of special vision cannot be possessed by an ordinary rule-based mutant.

This kind of person often has a big karma, which means that the other party is still very weak now. Otherwise, as the incarnation of the rules of this area, he would not even be qualified to talk to the other party.

Although the food is delicious, as the embodiment of rules, He actually does not need to eat.

So, after simply tasting all three kinds of food, He paused and said with a smile, "Is there something that Village Chief Liu wants to talk about? Feel free to tell me."

Since he has been involved in this cause and effect, he will not avoid it and will treat it as a gamble.

Upon hearing this, Hong Ming stopped eating immediately. In fact, he had not dared to eat much before, mainly because he was facing this true god and felt very stressed.

Only Xiao Heishi didn't feel anything and was savoring the food seriously.

Upon hearing this, Liu Hen stopped and smiled, saying, "There is indeed something I would like to ask the Snow Girl. The Snow Mountain is vast, so I guess it has a lot of ores, right?"

That's right, the main purpose of his inviting the Snow Girl this time was to use her abilities to find ore. Although he had previously placed an order for gold from the City That Never Sleeps, it was only a verbal order, and no deposit had been paid.

The City That Never Sleeps is thousands of kilometers away from here, and we don’t know how long it will take for the other party to make a round trip.

It would be best if the frame diagram of the snow mountain could quickly get the gold mine.

If possible, you can even go there and mine yourself, as long as you can become stronger quickly.

The Snow Girl nodded slightly. "The entire area of ​​the Snow Mountain is 80,000 kilometers long and wide. There are indeed many minerals. I wonder what kind of minerals Village Chief Liu wants?"

He already knew that what Liu Hen needed was silver mine, and he even asked Bai Ling to bring mithril, which was more precious than silver mine.

"In the short term, what this village chief needs is a gold mine."

Liu Hen said: "In the future, we will definitely need other kinds of ores, but now we only need gold mines."

"Gold mine?"

The Snow Girl slightly closed her eyes, probably looking for the communicating entity.

After just a few seconds, he opened his eyes and said, "There are some gold mines fifty thousand kilometers due west of Box Peak, but the reserves are very small."

As the embodiment of the rules of the frame snow mountain, he can explore the entire snow mountain area in a single thought, so the speed of finding ores is naturally very fast.

It actually exists?

Liu Hen was delighted and asked quickly, "How far is it from Lucheng Village?"

"From here..."

The Snow Girl estimated the distance: "Forty-seven thousand kilometers."

"..."

This distance...

Liu Hen felt that his happiness might be in vain.

He then asked, "Besides gold, are there any other rare minerals?"

"The snow mountain in the frame diagram is huge, and there are so many rare minerals that it's hard for me to list them all."

The Snow Girl said, "If Village Chief Liu needs it, you can go and dig it yourself. The Snow Monsters in the Snow Mountain will not attack you. Of course, I can only restrain the Snow Monsters. I can't restrain other strange beasts and some demons either."

"understand."

Liu Hen nodded: "If it is really necessary, the village chief will visit you again."

The Snow Girl smiled slightly and said, "If Village Chief Liu has nothing else to do, I will leave first."

"Goodbye, Snow Girl." Liu Hen stood up and saw her off.

The Snow Girl left immediately, and the next moment Bai Ling woke up. She should have been able to hear the conversation between Liu Hen and the Snow Girl.

As soon as she woke up, she said, "If Village Chief Liu can wait, I can have someone dig for gold. Then Village Chief Liu will only need to trade with this food."

Liu Hen asked, "How long do you think it will take for the gold mine to be delivered here?"

"This……"

Bai Ling thought for a moment and said with a hint of embarrassment, "Even if we travel at full speed, it will probably take half a year or even longer."

Forty to fifty thousand kilometers, and traveling in a foggy world, the journey is unlikely to be smooth.

If the amount of ore is slightly larger, the speed will only be slower.

Half a year is a conservative estimate, one or two years is possible.

"In that case, forget it. If this village chief really needs it, he will go there in person."

Liu Hen said, "However, if the White Spirit Divine Envoy likes these foods, the village chief can give you some when you leave. Of course, if you come back in the future, you can also bring some local specialties to trade with the Travel Village. We are happy to establish peaceful trade with all nearby forces."

"Then thank you, Village Chief Liu."

Bai Ling didn't say anything more and began to taste the food seriously.

With the Snow Girl gone, everyone could finally eat to their heart's content.

"Is this called fish soup? What a magical food..."

“There’s such delicious food in the world!”

"This is called a rice ball? This is so delicious."

"Is this called Mud and Meat Rice Cake? I can't believe food can be this delicious!"

Except for Bai Ling, who was proud of her status and the reserve of being a beauty and still ate in small bites, everyone else ate as much as they could.

Zong Ni could have sat at the table, but she volunteered to be responsible for serving water and other tasks. Anyway, Liu Hen had left a portion of the food for her.

Finally, the banquet ended and both the guests and the hosts were very happy.

Bai Ling was not in a hurry to leave. Liu Hen also intended to keep this group of people to help guard the village, so he asked people to treat them well.

"Wu Yuanxia, ​​have you seen the food recipe?"

After the banquet, Liu Hen found Wu Yuanxia and said, "Except for the rice balls, make more of the other foods. These will be used as food for the Snowman Tribe during this period."

He planned to let the Snowman tribe stay as long as possible, and it would be best if these people were reluctant to leave.

In this way, even if the travel village encounters difficulties, these snowmen will definitely not stand idly by.

He had asked Xiao Heishi to sense it specifically before. Although the other members of the Snowman Tribe were ordinary people, Bai Ling and her four maids were all big shots.

Bai Ling is a super boss in the seventh realm, and her four maids are all in the sixth realm.

With these people in charge, ordinary demons dare not approach the travel village. Anyone who comes will die.

He planned to take advantage of this time to collect wood and directly use the wood materials to upgrade the village source bonfire, so as to raise it to the full energy level in the shortest time possible.

In this way, as long as the gold mine is in place, the Travel Village can be upgraded again, greatly increasing its power.
