Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 231 Fossil Level

"Ten thousand obsidian stones..."

Liu Hen looked at the materials used to manufacture the Rule Cannon and shook his head with some regret.

It's not that we don't have enough obsidian, it's that we don't have enough magic crystals.

In addition to 10,000 obsidian stones, one million magic crystals are also needed to manufacture the Rule Cannon.

During that year, he was practically lying down, and the magic crystals he earned with the help of the residents amounted to only a little over 800,000.

Although he could have collected even more magic crystals if he had been a little more ruthless, he was already invincible, so why was he in such a hurry?
There might be some people lining their own pockets, but as long as they don't go too far and don't affect the development of the town, he can't be bothered to care.

A few days later, the All-Purpose Pickaxe was successfully upgraded.

Just as the All Things Pickaxe was upgraded to the fossil level, Liu Hen suddenly felt that his spirit and energy had undergone a special transformation.

What kind of special law is it?
He suddenly felt as if some shackles had disappeared, and he was free.

Yes, freedom.

He had a strange feeling that he was no longer bound by anything.

As for the specific type of constraint, he guessed it was the constraint of this world, meaning that all the power of this world would be ineffective against him.

This includes the power of rules.

'Is this what they call transcendence?'

Liu Hen suddenly realized: 'So I've become a transcendent being? It didn't seem that difficult at all.'

Fortunately, his idea was not known to the former Lord of the Earth and Lord of the Four Seasons, otherwise they would definitely roll their eyes.

'The remnant consciousness of the Lord of Eternal Darkness once said that I was too deeply entangled with this world and would be unable to leave it, but now I feel that if there were a passage, I could leave at any time.'

Furthermore, if one so desires, one can tear open the world barrier hidden deep within the interlayered space at any time and leave this world.

'That guy was lying to me after all; he was afraid I would interfere with his plans?'

Liu Hen looked up at the dark sky: 'But why didn't that guy kill me when I was weak? Could it really only have a remnant of its consciousness left?'

The Snow Woman didn't explain this clearly, so it seems I'll have to find out more about it when I get the chance.

"My lord, you seem different."

Black Stone, who was standing to the side, suddenly said in surprise.

Now she is eighteen years old, with a graceful figure and skin that is completely different from that of the former barbarian.

Although it can't be described as fair and delicate, after four or five years of 'care', it's quite fair and looks very pleasing.

This age would be considered adulthood even in a previous life.

"What's different?" Liu Hen asked with a smile.

Black Stone thought for a moment and explained, "There seems to be a layer of mist around you, and I can't quite see your face clearly."

"What about this?"

Liu Hen picked up the black stone and placed it on his lap, then leaned close and asked.

"Now I can see it clearly."

Because of the pressure from Liu Hen's body, Hei Shi subconsciously leaned back, put his arms around Liu Hen's neck, and happily laughed, "The fog is gone."

Looking at the black stone so close to him, Liu Hen smiled and said, "My black stone is getting more and more beautiful. It's so beautiful that I love it more and more every time I look at it."

Blackstone was immediately flattered and replied, "I'm glad you like it, sir."

……

After spending some time with Black Stone, Liu Hen looked at the information on the Myriad Things Pickaxe again.

As expected, the All Things Pickaxe reached the Fossil level, and at the same time, the recipe for the Cannon appeared again.

The cannon that appeared this time was called the Annihilation Cannon.

A cannon capable of annihilating rules.

Unlike before, Liu Hen discovered that he could now see the specific information of the formula at a glance, whereas previously he could only read the formula after the finished product was manufactured.

The materials used to create this Annihilation Cannon are a standard cannon, ten thousand fossils, and one hundred million magic crystals.

In addition, the effective range of the annihilation cannon has been increased to 100,000 kilometers.

As for the kill radius, it is a radius of ten kilometers. Within a ten-kilometer radius, everything is within the effective kill radius, excluding the shockwave.

'It looks powerful, but it doesn't seem to be very effective at all.'

Upon seeing the hundred million magic crystals behind him, he temporarily abandoned his plan to create them.

Anyway, I'm completely invincible now.

Even the Lord of Eternal Darkness was completely helpless against him.

On the contrary, if I were willing to cause trouble for the other party now, I could definitely find them.

All of this was normal information, but the next piece of information took him by surprise.

Why has the upgrade time increased again?

It takes a staggering ten years for a fossil to go from level one to level two.

However, upon seeing this information, the reason automatically came to his mind: it needs time to settle.

That's right, it takes time to settle, not time and energy.

'time……'

Liu Hen seemed to be deep in thought, a vague realization dawning on him: 'So, those who have transcended have already touched upon the power of time?'

This is truly outrageous. The power of time is the most mysterious force, even in various studies and fantasy stories from my previous life.

As a result, those who transcended were able to directly access this power.

I am a super-miniature version of the Transcendent One, only my energy level is there, but my quantity is far from it.

If someone like this can be invincible in this multiverse, how strong must a true transcendent being be?

'It seems there are no fossils left, but no worries, we don't have enough magic crystals anyway, we'll deal with it later.'

He let Blackstone go and play with the other girls his age in town, then got up and went to the campfire, which was three meters in diameter.

'It's time to take the campfire to the next level.'

The campfire is the only item that is not restricted by the level of the Creation Workbench, but is restricted by the level of the All Things Pickaxe.

Even if a creation workbench that creates a campfire is destroyed, the campfires created using that workbench will not be destroyed.

That's what makes campfires special.

Perhaps it is because the campfire is Liu Hen's source of power, and he himself does not have the ability to create other items, so he needs to rely on the Creation Workbench.

As for the campfire, so far, only he can use it; no one else can use it, and he cannot even authorize it to others.

The only way others use a campfire is to add fuel to it, nothing more.

'The next stage of the upgrade requires coal as a material?'

This also surprised Liu Hen somewhat.

Therefore, it seems that what the Snow Woman said back then—that coal is the most fundamental ore in this world and can be transformed into various other ores—is probably true.

He wasn't surprised by this; he now had coal mines that seemed to have as many as he wanted.

But the next one left him dumbfounded.

'One hundred million magic crystals? How can there be so many?'

Liu Hen asked with surprise and doubt: 'Could it be that the next stage of the campfire event will also be extremely exaggerated?'

He thought for a moment, then suddenly flew out of Travel Town and headed into the darkness in the distance.

Since we don't have enough magic crystals, we'll have to find a way ourselves.

The speed at which I can earn magic crystals in Travel Town is now far behind my needs, and I'm too lazy to wait.

His main concern was that he really wanted to know what the next stage of the campfire would be.

'Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've encountered a demonic tide; that's rather strange.'

A thought flashed through Liu Hen's mind: 'The Snow Maiden said before that the Demon Tide was related to the Lord of Eternal Darkness. Although she couldn't say it aloud due to special rules at the time, the meaning was already very clear.'

'Could it be... that the Lord of Eternal Darkness is deliberately avoiding me?'

At that moment, he suddenly understood why monsters were absolutely repelled by the campfire's repelling properties.
