71: Chapter 71: Wooden Mannequin, dicine Decoction Pot, Polishing Stone 71: Chapter 71: Wooden Mannequin, dicine Decoction Pot, Polishing Stone Xia Hong understood what the people from Da Shi were thinking.
With their camp destroyed, these survivors ca to the Great Xia Camp, providing them temporary safety.
However, without a clear answer from him as their leader, the Da Shi people lived without legitimacy, feeling like dependent guests always at risk of being expelled.
Thus, their hearts were extrely lacking in a sense of security.
Even knowing that the Wood Puppet Monster was killed and their great revenge fulfilled, they didn’t dare to celebrate and discuss freely like the people of the Great Xia Camp did.
In the Ice Abyss World, a sense of security is an extrely precious and scarce commodity.
Xia Hong’s recent words undoubtedly gave them a great sense of security.
“Rest assured, since I have decided to take you in, henceforth you are all mbers of Great Xia, and I will treat you all equally!”
Watching Xia Hong leave after speaking, Shi Qing’s face was still filled with emotion.
He took a deep breath, looked around at the surrounding crowd, and spoke solemnly:
“I am now a cripple.
We have more than a hundred people, not a single one in the Logging Realm, frankly just a bunch of burdens.
The leader is willing to accept us, such a great kindness and virtue, it would be difficult to repay even if we face death nine tis over.
From now on, Great Xia is our ho, Xia Hong is our only leader, even if the leader asks us to die, we should not even frown.
Do you all understand?”
Everyone looked up at Xia Hong, who had already walked afar, their faces solemn and they nodded earnestly.
……
Having given the people of Da Shi Camp peace of mind, Xia Hong walked directly to the side of the Iron Refining Furnace.
Seeing the coal and iron already spilled out on the ground, his face imdiately showed excitent.
[Camp: Great Xia (Level 0)]
[Lord: Xia Hong]
[Population of Territory: 341]
[Resources: Wood 1240 Coal 254 Iron 402 Silver 0 Gold 0]
[Buildings Opened: 1 – Iron Refining Furnace (Level 2)]
[Buildings Not Opened: 8 – Wooden Mannequin, Green Bamboo Fence, Marking Stone, dicine Decoction Pot, Yellow Earth, Polishing Stone, Small Wooden Table, Rough Iron Chain]
Currently, the camp’s wood supply is completely overflowing.
Unless Xia Hong wants to crazily produce Solidified Fire Oil and Small Torches, there’s no way the wood could be entirely used up under normal conditions.
The coal and iron gifted by Luo Ming couldn’t be refused by Xia Hong, because he realized that trying to gather the resources needed to open buildings on his own in a short period was absolutely impossible.
Coal mines are easy to find, but currently, in Great Xia, he is the only one in the Earth-digging Realm.
By himself, he can mine at most two hundred pounds a day, and then there’s the even harder-to-find iron mines and subsequent mining, so accepting Luo Ming’s gift is undoubtedly the fastest choice to unlock other buildings.
Except for the Small Wooden Table and Rough Iron Chain buildings, the other six unopened buildings only require three types of resources: Wood, Coal, and Iron, and the cost to open them isn’t much; the real expense cos with upgrades.
Wooden Mannequin: Wood 100 Iron 20
dicine Decoction Pot: Coal 50 Iron 40
Polishing Stone: Coal 60 Iron 30
Marking Stone: Coal 150 Iron 90
Green Bamboo Fence: Per ter/Wood 20 Iron 5, upgrades upon exchanging for 10,000 ters
Yellow Earth: Per square ter/Wood 200 Coal 20, upgrades upon exchanging for 10,000 square ters
Xia Hong reviewed the building unlocking conditions, falling into contemplation.
Although he didn’t know the specific functions of these buildings, he could roughly guess from their nas.
The Green Bamboo Fence should be defensive camp material, and Yellow Earth is probably used for planting crops.
These two are useful but too expensive and not suitable for the camp’s current situation, so they won’t be considered.
The Wooden Mannequin seems to be for martial arts training, the dicine Decoction Pot for healing and dicine, the Polishing Stone for forging purposes, and the Marking Stone, as the na implies, is probably for marking boundaries.
Xia Hong wanted to build all four of these in one go, but due to limited resources, he decided to forgo the Marking Stone for now.
Wooden Mannequin, dicine Decoction Pot, Polishing Stone.
Xia Hong placed his hand on the coal and iron on the ground, and with a slight focus of thought, he first clicked on the Wooden Mannequin.
A gleam of light flashed, and a single-legged wooden figure, two ters tall with a hollowed abdon, imdiately appeared beside the Iron Refining Furnace.
Though standing on a single leg, the wooden figure’s face had complete features, and its expression even carried a hint of a smile.
With sturdy, muscular arms naturally hanging down, its whole body was muscular and robust, with all joints connected by iron rivets, lifelike.
If not for the skin tone and the single leg, no one would believe it’s a fake wooden figure.
Wooden Mannequin (Level 1): Training equipnt, activated with coal stone, can significantly enhance training speed and increase martial arts insight.
Special Function 1: Can record varieties of Cold Beasts through essence blood, transforming into any Cold Beast and exhibiting the strength of an adult beast.
Special Function 2: Activated within the Iron Refining Furnace’s radiation range, can follow commands and engage in independent combat.
Consumption: 5 coal per hour
Upgrade Conditions: 3000 Wood 6000 Iron
This Wooden Mannequin is incredibly powerful!
After reading the description of the Wooden Mannequin, Xia Hong couldn’t help but click his tongue in admiration, his face filled with excitent.
Enhancing training speed; increasing martial arts insight; able to transform into various Cold Beasts for sparring; and within the Iron Refining Furnace’s radiation range, it can follow commands to fight independently.
Each of these four functions is astonishingly powerful.
Xia Hong took a deep breath and continued to open the second building, the Polishing Stone.
As more of the coal and iron on the ground disappeared, another glow appeared beside the Wooden Mannequin, swirling in the air for a mont before vanishing, leaving behind a rectangular black stone over half a ter in diater.
Polishing Stone (Level 1): Can be shaped into any mold for crafting various tal devices, capable of forging weapons ranging from Ten Forged to a thousand forged.
Special Function: Absorbs enough Cold Beast Blood to forge weapons with Beast Suppressing attributes.
Upgrade Conditions: 5000 Coal 10000 Iron
Another valuable treasure!
Xia Hong’s face was filled with delight, and he then pointed out the dicine Decoction Pot.
A sudden glow appeared, and beside the Polishing Stone erged a half-ter-diater green dicine pot, with a layer of strange patterns on the outside, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance upon its appearance.
dicine Decoction Pot (Level 1): Alchemy equipnt, capable of identifying item properties upon the placent of any object; dicinal items will be automatically recorded.
Special Function: Automatically generates formulas based on recorded types; materials can be added following the formula and boiled with water to create dicine.
Consumption: 20 coal per hour for decoction, identification consus varying amounts of coal stone based on the rarity of the item.
Upgrade Conditions: Wood 20000 Coal 20000 Iron 10000 to generate 10 types of formulas
Phew…
Today’s surprises are truly one after another.
Xia Hong was almost out of breath.
This dicine Decoction Pot, despite its rustic na, turns out to be the most useful.
Identifying item properties and automatically generating formulas an that just adding water and boiling according to the formula can automatically concoct dicine.
dicine!
If not for this dicine Decoction Pot, Xia Hong even doubted whether he could ever interact with this term in the future.
Though Xia Hong is not clear about other camps, but for a small camp like Great Xia, where even survival is challenging, there is fundantally no concept of treating injuries with dicine.
Injuries must be endured, and if endurance fails, one dies, with no exceptions.
Now with the dicine Decoction Stove, they won’t have to expend much effort to use dicine.
According to the description of the Decoction Stove, as long as they keep feeding it items to continually record, it will automatically generate various formulas.
Once the formulas are generated, they don’t even need to expend effort for refining; they just need to add water and boil.
Moreover, not only can dicine for treating injuries be concocted, but dicine for enhancing strength should also be possible.
Consumption: 20 coal per hour for alchemy, and identification consus different types of resources based on item properties.
Upgrade Conditions: Wood 20000 Coal 20000 Iron 10000 to generate 10 types of formulas
Looking at the dicine Decoction Pot, though Xia Hong’s eyes were fervent, seeing its terrifying consumption and the subsequent upgrade conditions made him click his tongue repeatedly.
“Consuming 20 units of coal per hour, such crazy upgrade conditions, it seems even the system knows you are the most precious!”
