Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 199 Golden Pickaxe, Field Bonfire
"Oh, by the way, it's time to equip the villagers with complete equipment. We already have enough tree cores."

Liu Hen returned to the village chief's residence. He first took a look at the creation workbench that was being upgraded, then took out an already prepared [Equipment Production Table] and directly used the core of the sticky wood to make a warm headgear.

He also marked this [Equipment Crafting Table] to only produce equipment for villagers.

Now that he had nothing to do, he didn't ask others to do it for him and made it himself.

But after trying it himself for a while, he saw Black Stone standing aside and staring at him blankly after he got up, so he suddenly asked, "Black Stone, do you want to try it?"

"Ah? Is Heishi okay?" Heishi was stunned.

"Of course." Liu Hen said with a smile.

[Equipment Crafting Table] is different from the Creation Workbench. Any villager with village registration can use it.

"Then try Black Stone."

Heishi immediately came over with a curious look on her face. She was very happy to be able to help her master.

And this job looks easy too.

"You just need to follow the instructions on it. You don't need to be literate. The device will display the instructions according to your own understanding."

Liu Hen instructed Blackstone on how to use the [Equipment Crafting Table]: "Just follow the instructions. Now, what you need to make is this headgear recipe."

Blackstone was very smart and got the hang of things quickly. It didn't take long for him to learn the operating procedures.

Liu Hen watched from the side and gave instructions from time to time.

One by one, warm head covers were made and taken by Blackstone to be stored in the locker.

It is worth mentioning that this [Equipment Production Table] can directly upgrade equipment.

For example, as long as you have the materials, you can use this equipment to upgrade a rotten wood-level thermal suit to a black iron level, or even to a bronze or silver level.

However, this also requires Liu Hen to open up permissions, otherwise others will not be able to perform the operation.

About two hours later, one hundred warm headgear were produced.

Liu Hen took the 100 warm headgear outside and handed them to Zong Ni: "Distribute them to the 100 villagers who are working."

Zong Ni was a little surprised when she saw the warm headgear.

You know, even she hasn't got this complete set yet.

"Your level is higher, I'll give it to you later."

Liu Hen explained, "Now that we have no shortage of materials, I plan to equip all the villagers with this kind of equipment. However, it won't be completely free. I'll have the villagers work for it. You can make the specifics yourself, or discuss it with Hong Ming. Of course, you don't have to listen to him completely."

"okay, thank you."

Zong Ni looked at Liu Hen with gratitude, then turned and left.

When another group of villagers came back from collecting wood, she distributed warm head coverings to them.

Soon, excited cheers were heard from the entrance of the village.

When the other villagers learned about the magic of the complete thermal suit, everyone was envious.

Hu Jinshi was also watching eagerly.

Liu Hen smiled and said, "Once your caravan is formed, this village chief will give each of you a set, and yours will be at least silver level."

Hu Jinshi was immediately overjoyed and knelt down to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Village Chief! I will definitely not let you down!"

Liu Hen nodded with satisfaction.

After returning to the village chief's residence, he asked Heishi to continue making more warm headgear, starting with 500.

Although there are only more than 200 villagers at present, the number of scavenging teams of local villagers who have completed Hong Ming's targets is increasing.

As time goes by, more and more local residents will join the travel village, and these warm head covers will come in handy.

Finally, after most of the day, the Pickaxe of All Things was upgraded successfully.

The moment the All Things Pickaxe was upgraded to the gold level, Liu Hen felt that his physical fitness had improved a lot.

Although the overall improvement wasn't huge, this time, he'd gained at least 100 kilograms at once, which was a huge improvement compared to before. This was because his ability wasn't specifically designed to improve physical fitness.

It was not just his physical fitness, the moment everything was upgraded to the gold level, he once again felt the sublimation of his spirit, soul, and so on.

This means that he has officially reached the fourth level.

After the All Things Pickaxe was upgraded to the gold level, there was indeed an additional recipe - the Demon-Suppressing Cannon.

However, the [Demon-Suppressing Cannon] can only be made using a gold-level creation workbench.

At the same time, the [Demon Suppression Cannon] can only be placed inside the [Domain Town].

However, the Domain Town cannot be built directly, but requires the [Energy Village] to be upgraded slowly.

After the Pickaxe of All Things was upgraded to the first level of gold, the number of slots in the space backpack did not increase and remained at one thousand.

But now, each grid can hold four hundred items.

This applies not only to the grids of the space backpack that comes with the All-Keeping Pickaxe, but also to the grids of other lockers.

Even the items that can be stored in each grid of the previously synthesized [Pickaxe] and [Gathering Axe] have been increased to four hundred.

'Although other items cannot be upgraded yet, the bonfire with full energy level can be upgraded.'

Liu Hen first continued to consume two pieces of gold ores and two thousand magic crystals to upgrade the Pickaxe of All Things, and then upgraded the bonfire with full energy level in the village chief's residence.

At this time, the bonfire with full energy level indeed showed that it could be upgraded again, and the materials required for the upgrade also appeared.

What surprised him but was not particularly surprising was that the materials needed to reach the next stage of the energy bonfire were a tree core and a thousand magic crystals.

"Sure enough, it's no longer a large log, the upgraded material has become a tree core."

Liu Hen did not hesitate and directly consumed materials to upgrade the bonfire.

Anyway, he has stored a lot of tree cores now, almost tens of thousands, which is more than enough.

A core can be collected from every sticky wood tree in the Iron Tree Forest. Now, while villagers are collecting large logs, they are also constantly obtaining cores, which they can never use up.

However, at this stage, the upgrade time of the bonfire has also become longer, and the countdown is as long as ten hours.

'good.'

Liu Hen was not in a hurry and just waited patiently.

When late night came again, when all the villagers who had gone out to collect wood came back, the number of large logs finally reached 7,000, enough to raise the bonfire at the source of the village to level seven.

He directly chose to upgrade.

Just one hour later, the bonfire at the source of the village reached level seven, and the range of the village blueprint reached 530 meters in length and width.

The day is over.

Liu Hen patrolled the area, said hello to the snow monsters playing nearby, and then returned to the village to rest.

The night passed quietly. With the snow demon here, other demons and monsters didn't dare to approach.

Finally, when another early night came, Liu Hen felt something different as soon as he opened his eyes.

A special sense of control emerged, as if everything within a radius of one kilometer was under his control.

What gave him this feeling of control was the bonfire that had just been upgraded in the village chief's residence.

Liu Hen jumped up and looked at the information on the bonfire.

[Territory Bonfire Lv. 1: A bonfire with cooking, lighting, heating, evil-warding, constant temperature, and territory effects. The bonfire itself does not consume, but requires fuel to maintain combustion. The light of the bonfire can drive away monsters in the dark.]

[Constant Temperature: Beyond four meters, the temperature within the monster repelling radius will be locked, fluctuating only within ten degrees. The current repelling radius is 1000 meters.]

[Field: Within the field, you can mobilize the power of the bonfire to suppress and actively attack enemies.]

[Domain Shelter: Requires an existing town to be effective. The area within the domain is protected by the bonfire, which can prevent most harmful forces from invading, such as calming strong winds.]

[Due to the level limit of the All Things Pickaxe, further upgrades are currently unavailable.]
