Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 197: Deal with the Snow Demon
"This transaction is actually not a transaction between us, the Snow Demon Clan."

Chief Xueqin explained, "It was the chief of the Snowman tribe who proposed this deal."

"Our clan leader?" Bai Ling asked in confusion.

The Snowman tribe has its own chief. She is just a messenger of God and is not the same person as the chief.

Patriarch Xueqin continued, "Before we start the transaction, I'd like to ask if it's possible to build many magical villages like Village Chief Liu's."

Liu Hen raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded, "Yes, but the price is high."

"Is this pile of gold mine enough?" Clan leader Xueqin pointed to the 'gold mountain' next to him.

Liu Hen thought for a moment and then asked directly, "Patriarch Xueqin, please speak frankly."

"Well."

Chief Xueqin nodded and said, "The chief of the Snowman tribe hopes that Village Chief Liu can build a Snowman Village on the edge of the Snow Mountain in the frame, and the scale should be no smaller than the village in front of us."

"This...I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

Liu Hen also said clearly: "This kind of village cannot be built so large all at once, it needs to be improved slowly. And the identity of the village chief cannot be transferred."

He was not lying, because the village construction mode can only be built with a campfire of energy level one, and it needs to be upgraded slowly afterwards.

Otherwise, he would not have wasted so many materials to upgrade the travel village. Wouldn't it be more convenient to directly use the full-level energy bonfire to build a new travel village?

The identity of the village cannot be transferred?
Patriarch Xueqin frowned slightly.

However, this was within the expectations of the Snowman tribe's leader, because they all realized that the Journey Village should be related to Liu Hen's ability.

"As long as Village Chief Liu promises not to take the Snowman Village away, all we need to do is hand the Snowman Village over completely to the Snowman Tribe."

She added: "The Yeti tribe hopes to use this village to house some of their members who are not used to low temperatures. They just need a comfortable environment and don't care about the position of village chief."

Bai Ling suddenly realized that, indeed, even though the Snowman tribe had gone through countless generations of reproduction, inheritance and adaptation, there were still some people who found it difficult to adapt to the low temperature environment of the snow-capped mountains.

It's not a problem in other seasons, but whenever the cold season comes, there will always be a group of people freezing to death.

Because during the cold season, the temperature inside the snow-capped mountains is lower.

Some places can instantly freeze ordinary people into ice sculptures.

"That's fine, though."

Liu Hen said: "However, the village chief's newly built village is only 80 meters long and wide. It will need its own villagers to offer sacrifices to it in the future and let it grow slowly."

After a pause, he added, "As for taking the Snowman Village, Chief Xueqin can rest assured. This village chief can only take the Journey Village with him. Even if other villages are built, they cannot be taken with him. This village chief can only take one village with him."

"Then, happy business." Chief Xueqin smiled.

"Happy transaction." Liu Hen also smiled.

"I wonder when Village Chief Liu can set off?" asked Clan Leader Xueqin.

Liu Hen calculated the time: "How about ten days later?"

"Ten days?" Clan leader Xueqin was puzzled.

"Ten days." Liu Hen explained.

Although people in the Night Fog World would also say a number of days later, they rarely said how many days later.

Because this world has 'sky' but no 'sun'.

"Okay, ten days later."

Chief Xueqin said, "We'll play nearby for a few days and then come find Village Chief Liu in ten days. The Snowman Village is about 3,000 kilometers away, not too far."

After saying that, she led the group of chattering snow demon girls into the darkness.

They said they were walking, but in fact they were like flying, very fast, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

"By the way, there are many demon corpses nearby. We don't need them. Village Chief Liu can have them brought back. We'll give them as gifts to Village Chief Liu."

The voice of Patriarch Xueqin came from afar.

"Thank you, Chief Xueqin." Liu Hen immediately said to Wu Yuanming, "Take people to move the corpses of the demons back. Be careful not to be corrupted by the demon's aura."

"Don't worry, sir. We will be careful."

Wu Yuanming answered respectfully, then turned and went into the village to select people.

"Can you show me the Ji Yang branch?" Bai Ling looked at Liu Hen.

"It's not convenient to take it out now. It might attract other enemies."

Liu Hen said, "How about after a while?"

Now that all the enemies have been killed with the help of the Snow Demon, he doesn't want to cause any more trouble. It would be best to wait until his own strength is strong enough.

Now that we have a gold mine, as long as we upgrade the Pickaxe of All Things to the gold level, we can directly upgrade the Energy Bonfire to the full level.

By then, even if his own strength is not enough, he will have a better chance of success with the help of a more advanced bonfire.

"Alright."

Bai Ling nodded. She was actually very eager for the Ji Yang Branch because the Ji Yang Branch could not only create a vibrant area, but was also a treasure in itself.

After everyone else left, Liu Hen took out the pickaxe and started collecting gold.

"boom."

Cracks appeared on the surface of the millstone-sized gold ore in front of me.

Because the purity of these pure natural gold mines is not enough and they are mixed with slag, he has to collect them before using them for upgrading.

However, since the Pickaxe of All Things cannot be used during the upgrade process, and the Space Backpack cannot be used either, he plans to collect all the gold mines before upgrading.

[Gold Mine +1]

Soon, the first gold mine was mined.

Liu Hen took it out and took a look at it, and found that it was also square in size, ten centimeters in length, width and height, golden in color, and very beautiful.

'It only takes one piece to upgrade the Pickaxe to Gold, but let's collect it first.'

He continued to wield the Pickaxe of All Things.

[Gold Mine +1]

[Gold Mine +1]

Even though the current level of the All-Kings Pickaxe is already very high, it still takes three swings to collect a small piece of higher-level gold ore.

After he collected eight pieces of gold, the natural gold ore as big as a millstone in front of him shattered, leaving only some golden gravel.

If these gravels were smelted using technological means, they should be able to produce gold, but the quantity would definitely not be too large, and the cost might outweigh the gain, so he didn't plan to keep these gravels.

'continue. ’

He walked to the bottom of the "gold mountain" that was more than ten meters high and continued collecting.

In the distance, Wu Yuanming had already brought back some corpses of demons with his men.

Those corpses were not all flesh and blood. Most of them were plant-type monsters, and there were also quite a few stone-type monsters.

Heishi, who had been guarding Liu Hen, suddenly said, "Sir, I sense the demon bead."

"If you need it, just go get it." Liu Hen said.

Suddenly Heishi was delighted: "Thank you, sir."

She hurried towards Wu Yuanming and others. Those demon origin beads were useful to her. If she was lucky, she might gain new abilities after eating them.

The Stone Guardian is the ability she gained after eating the Origin Pearl of the Tomb Master.

However, Liu Hen had checked before and found that the giant bear demon did not have the origin bead. Obviously, not all demons possess the origin bead.
