Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 2: Killing Practice

[All Things Pickaxe (Black Iron) Lv. 1 (Upgrade Requirements: 2 Iron Ore, 2 Magic Crystals)]

The original hardwood pickaxe was turned into an iron pickaxe.

Although the light was too dim to see the changes in color and material, the increase in weight was enough to tell the story.

Especially the tactile texture of the handle is completely different.

Not only has the weight increased, but the ends of the pick have also changed.

When it was a hardwood pick, both ends were sharp. Of course, due to severe wear and tear, the tip was very thick.

But now, only one end is sharp, and this end is really very sharp and can be used as a weapon.

The other end is the axe blade, which is not very wide, at most four centimeters wide.

But it's perfectly sufficient for felling trees.

In addition to the original data, more information appears below:
[An iron pickaxe that can collect everything. It automatically returns to its original position when it leaves your hand and never drops. The higher the level, the faster the collection speed.]

[Contains a space backpack grid, one grid can hold 100 items of the same type. ]

[Unlocks the free construction mode. Some of the collected materials can be used for construction. The defense of things built in the free construction mode is affected by the materials.]

[Unlocks the recipe for the 'Fortune Workbench' (Making Materials: 100 Iron Ore, Magic Crystal).]

"Space backpack? Creation workbench?"

Liu Hen was stunned for a moment, but was soon awakened by the sound of fighting.

He immediately looked at the yellow tiger with a cold look in his eyes.

'How dare you steal my things!'

He quietly got up, touched the back of the yellow tiger, and used the sharp end of the black iron pickaxe to hit the yellow tiger's head hard.

He didn't dare to kill anyone on Earth, but in this world, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to try hard to adapt.

Only by becoming more ruthless can you intimidate others and survive better.

Huang Hu, who was fighting with Zong Ni, heard the noise behind him and subconsciously tilted his head. The pickaxe immediately brushed past his face and fell, deeply piercing his shoulder.

"what……"

Huang Hu screamed and used a hardwood pickaxe to push Zong Ni back. Then he was kicked on the back by Liu Hen. His body flew forward and his shoulder was almost completely torn by the pickaxe.

The moment he landed, he slammed the hardwood pickaxe at Liu Hen, then turned and ran.

Liu Hen was unable to dodge and was hit on the shoulder by a hardwood pickaxe. He involuntarily took a few steps back, grimacing in pain.

"Hurry up and chase him, he still has the pyrite!"

Zong Ni quickly chased after him. Although she had a small body, she was very agile.

Liu Hen also hurriedly chased after him.

Soon, the three rushed out of the abandoned mine.

The light outside is brighter and you can see the environment within twenty meters.

Zong Ni suddenly swung the hardwood pickaxe and hit Huang Hu directly on the head, causing him to scream.

Liu Hen was just about to imitate him and throw the pickaxe, but he found that the pickaxe suddenly disappeared the moment it left his hand, and automatically appeared in his mind, overlapping with the shadow of the draft of all things next to the data.

He was slightly stunned, then quickly picked up a stone, swung his arm and threw it out.

"boom!"

This blow was accurate and fierce, hitting Huang Hu directly on the back of the head, causing him to fall down with a scream.

"There is pyrite here!!" The moment he fell to the ground, Huang Hu suddenly threw the pyrite out and shouted loudly.

Zong Ni's face changed drastically. She rushed forward angrily, picked up her hardwood pickaxe, and hit Huang Hu hard on the head.

Liu Hen's heart sank as he hurriedly rushed towards the pyrite.

However, at this moment, five people suddenly ran out of another mine not far away.

The five people saw the pyrite that fell to the side at first sight, and immediately rushed over with shining eyes, throwing stones at Zong Ni and Liu Hen.

Zong Ni quickly picked up the half-dead Huang Hu and put him in front of them, glaring at the five men: "Zhang Ling, you are courting death!"

She knew the man, and so did Liu Hen.

In fact, most of the barbarians around here know each other.

After all, the total number of barbarians within a hundred miles of the entire "Hongluo Camp" is no more than a thousand.

But they were born and raised here.

Because the Night Fog World is too dangerous, even though the resources in this area are limited, few people dare to go too far alone.

At this time, Liu Hen had rushed to the pyrite and was about to pick it up. Suddenly, several stones hit his head. He was so scared that he quickly stepped back and looked at the five people with a gloomy face.

"You are looking for death!"

Among the five men, the leading man, Zhang Ling, swooped down, picked up the pyrite and quickly retreated.

"Zhang Ling, you'd better think about it. My things are not so easy to steal!" Liu Hen's voice was cold.

After being robbed again and again, even though he was a time traveler, he couldn't help but feel boiling with anger.

However, there were five people on the opposite side, but there were only two of them, and they were both exhausted, so he forced himself to hold back.

"Get out of here right now, or this day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"

He actually wanted to keep these two people here, but the pyrite was already in his hands and there was not enough profit. It was not worth the risk and he did not want to get hurt.

They were all ordinary barren dwellers, their fighting strength was evenly matched. Even with three more people, it would be difficult for them to gain an overwhelming advantage, and there was a risk of injury. The barren dwellers were a very contradictory group. They were greedy and would fight to the death for a bite of food.

But because they have no medicine to treat their injuries, they will not fight unless it is absolutely necessary.

Liu Hen felt his stomach burning like fire, his face grim, and he looked coldly at Zhang Ling and the other four, especially at the pyrite in Zhang Ling's hand.

The only magic crystal he had that could be exchanged for food had been used up, and pyrite was also very precious to him.

However, because he had just arrived, even with the original owner's memories, he was not familiar enough with this world, so he did not act impulsively.

So he took a deep breath, suppressed the depression and anger in his heart, and pulled Zong Ni away.

But he remembered Zhang Ling.

Zong Ni looked unwilling, but she also knew that now was not the time to show off. With a gloomy face, she dragged the half-dead Huang Hu and followed Liu Hen to slowly retreat.

During this process, both sides were on guard to prevent sneak attacks from the other side.

Because visibility in the night foggy world is too low, the killing effect of bows and arrows is very weak. Except for a few people, most people did not prepare bows and arrows.

So, after walking out of the stone-throwing range, Liu Hen and Zong Ni turned around and quickened their pace to leave.

As he walked, Liu Hen observed his surroundings.

Even if we have the original owner's memories, how can memories be as shocking as seeing it with our own eyes?
This is a rocky mountain area, surrounded by rugged rocks that are like demons lurking in the darkness, making people alert.

Among the strange rocks, you can see low, leafless, twisted trees from time to time.
Perhaps because they do not need to compete for light, these plants are short and thick. In order to conserve heat, they will grow as thick as possible.

Because they cannot photosynthesize, the plants in the Night Fog World have very few leaves.

Even if some of them had leaves, they were all eaten by the barbarians, leaving them all bare.

Some tree roots were also dug up. The savages would eat everything they could, or dig them up and trade them with the people in the camp.

In other words, it is basically impossible to find food in this area, unless you are lucky enough to encounter a very weak animal.

Walking in the extremely cold environment, Liu Hen felt the cold wind blowing like a knife, making his face feel as if it was being scraped by a knife.

"Damn it! That's pyrite. A piece that big can be exchanged for at least ten kilograms of food coupons. If we save a little, it's enough for the two of us to eat for half a month!"

After walking far enough away, Zong Ni spoke with a gloomy face and hit Huang Hu's head hard with a hardwood pickaxe to vent her anger.

If it weren't for this guy's internal strife, they wouldn't have lost the pyrite at all.

Huang Hu screamed and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, please forgive me..."

"Now you know you were wrong? Why didn't you think of this moment when you attacked your teammates before?" Zong Ni became even more angry.

Even if they were just a temporary team, attacking teammates was absolutely unforgivable.

"Put him down." Liu Hen suddenly spoke.

"What?" Zong Ni asked in confusion.

"I said, put him... on the ground." Liu Hen spoke again.

Although Zong Ni was puzzled, she still put Huang Hu on the ground.

Huang Hu hurriedly said to Liu Hen: "Liu Hen, I was wrong before..."

"I know."

Liu Hen took a deep breath. Just as hope showed in Huang Hu's eyes, he suddenly swung his pickaxe and knocked a bloody hole in the guy's head.

Huang Hu screamed and died instantly.

Liu Hen pulled out the pickaxe and hit it hard again, again and again, directly smashing the guy's head.

Even after his head was smashed to pieces, Huang Hu did not close his eyes, and fear and regret still lingered in his eyes.

Zong Ni was stunned: "What are you doing?"

"Practice."

Liu Hen said casually that he was trying to adapt to the survival rules of this world and wanted to get used to the feeling of killing people with his own hands in advance.

Zong Ni did not really believe what Liu Hen said. After all, who among the barbarians had not killed anyone?

She felt that Liu Hen was venting his anger because she was also angry.

Liu Hen didn't explain either.

Seeing that Huang Hu was completely dead, he pulled out the pickaxe, took a deep breath, and then quickly searched the other's body.

'Um? '

Suddenly he took out a magic crystal, the size of a grain of rice, emitting a faint blue light.

My eyes suddenly lit up because I had a meal for today.

One magic crystal can be exchanged for one kilogram of food coupons, which is a good thing.

'but……'

He suddenly hesitated, because making the 'Creation Workbench' also required a magic crystal.

This put him in a difficult situation of making a choice.

The Creation Workbench definitely has a huge role to play. If it can be manufactured quickly, it will be of great benefit to you.

Is this magic crystal used for eating or for making a workbench?
