Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 229 Awakening or Not
Perhaps the Snow Woman gave some instructions before she left, which is why both the Snowman Clan and the Snow Fairy offered to join the Journey Town.

However, the number of places is limited.

Therefore, Liu Hen only accepted a portion of the people.

He didn't have any requirements regarding these people's moral character, as long as they were of good character.

The snow fairies disliked the warm environment of Journey Town, and although they joined Journey Town, they did not actually live there.

Liu Hen didn't insist.

Before leaving, out of respect for the Snow Maiden, he gifted the Snowman Clan and the Snow Demon Clan a hundred land vehicles, and then led the Journey Town away from the shattered Frame Snow Mountain.

He didn't take the warship that was hovering above the snow-capped mountains; he left it all to the Yeti and Snow Demon clans.

He already had something similar, so he had no need for that thing at all.

Because the previous war had such a wide impact, places like Never Sleeps City disappeared, and the promises Hong Ming had made could not be fulfilled.

More than 100,000 kilometers away from the snow-capped mountains in the frame, on a vast plain.

As the mist rolls in, the town of Travel comes into being.

Black Stone sensed a large amount of coal reserves here. Although it was far less than what Snow Maiden had found with Liu Hen before, it was still quite a lot.

Because there are now many people in Travel Town, everything has become more regulated.

The townspeople can mine coal and hand it in to obtain contribution points, which function similarly to currency. They can then use these contribution points to exchange for other resources.

Liu Hen no longer needed to do all of this himself; his subordinates would eagerly take the lead.

After the town of Lutu was established here, Liu Hen first spent a day initiating the city-building mode and expanding the town.

That's right, although it has been upgraded to a city, it still uses the name "Journey Town".

He likes this name.

The reason for the expansion is that the world territory needs to be coordinated with the city to function perfectly.

The name alone will not affect the functionality.

The brand-new Travel Town is 3,000 meters long and wide, with a large number of new buildings and many more spirit fields.

Liu Hen first created a large number of spirit fields to fill the extra spirit field area in the new Journey Town, and then began to upgrade the All Things Pickaxe.

'I have enough obsidian now. Let's upgrade the All-Purpose Pickaxe to obsidian max level first.'

As for magic crystals, there is absolutely no shortage of them now.

With the addition of some members of the Yeti and Snow Fairy clans, the total population of the entire Journey Town has exceeded ten thousand.

With so many people, they will desperately try to obtain magic crystals.

These magic crystals will pass through layers of intermediaries, and at least 70% of them will eventually end up with him.

It's worth mentioning that after the All Things Pickaxe reaches the Obsidian level, in addition to the Rule Cannon, a new recipe appears.

The new recipe is called [Sky Ship].

As for its functions, it is similar to a land tank, but larger.

However, since the Sky Warship requires a large amount of obsidian as material and he is not yet wealthy enough, he is not in a hurry to build it.

Anyway, he's practically invincible now, so he doesn't need this kind of thing.

Another day later, the All Things Pickaxe was upgraded to Obsidian Level 2.

Liu Hen did not stop there and continued to upgrade.

The Obsidian-grade All-Purpose Pickaxe takes a full day to upgrade each time.

Ten days later, Obsidian of the All Things Pickaxe reached the maximum level.

The recipes that appeared during this period were, surprisingly, various armor modules.

This includes earrings, headwear, waist ornaments, helmets, and so on.

There are a lot of scattered modules, but each module has an independent function.

As the All-Encompassing Pickaxe was upgraded to Obsidian level, these scattered modules were finally assembled into a complete suit of armor.

After Liu Hen manufactured and wore all these modules, he was shocked to find that his strength had increased by a million jin.

While this power is negligible compared to his world-class abilities, it's definitely comparable to that of an ordinary seventh-level ability user. 'For my current strength, this increase in power is practically negligible.'

He didn't mind and swapped the completed God-level set with the previous Earth set, equipping it in his True Self interface.

As for his appearance, he was still wearing the sticky silk suit.

This set is only silver-tier, but it works very well.

Combined with his Rule Domain, the Sticky Silk Set can easily capture any being below World Class level as a pet.

Next, the source campfire needs to be upgraded as well.

The upgrade material required for [World Campfire] is also Tree Core, but it is ten times more than that required for [Domain Campfire].

Upgrading a city's source campfire of the same level requires one hundred times the cost of a campfire in the normal world.

That is, it takes two thousand tree cores to go from level one to level two.

If we hadn't stockpiled a large amount of tree cores beforehand, we definitely wouldn't have enough now.

There are quite a few trees in this area, but very few tree cores.
It took another ten days to upgrade the bonfire at the source of the city to the maximum level.

A fully upgraded city's source campfire has a constant temperature radius of 100 kilometers.

By this time, the city's blueprint had expanded to 30,000 meters in length and width, or 30 kilometers.

This is definitely not small.

However, Liu Hen has no plans to expand for the time being, as the current Travel Town is perfectly adequate.

At present, apart from the Yeti tribe that may migrate here later, there is hardly any new blood, and there are no wild people in this area.

If the population of Travel Town wants to increase, the only way is for the residents to reproduce themselves.

Just as he was about to go about his other business, Liu Hen suddenly looked at the upgrade materials needed for the next level of the Myriad Things Pickaxe.

'Fossils? I knew it.'

He smiled. After the Obsidian Pickaxe reaches its maximum level, upgrading to the next stage requires a fossil and one million magic crystals.

The magic crystals have been used up rather quickly lately, but we still have a million.

Without hesitation, he chose to upgrade.

This time, the upgrade took a whole year.

'Holy crap, could it be that the Fossil level is my final level? How did the time increase so much?'

Liu Hen was shocked.

However... it's only been a year. It also takes a year to upgrade the Creation Workbench from the Gold Max Level to Obsidian Level 1.

'Then let's wait.'

He didn't dwell on it; he was already invincible, so a mere year wouldn't matter.

I happened to be out of fossils, and I didn't have enough magic crystals to upgrade my Fossil Level 1 Pickaxe to Fossil Level 2, so I used this time to earn magic crystals.

That day, he brought Black Stone to the outside of the town mayor's mansion and strolled among the spirit fields.

Looking at the endless rice paddies and smelling the fragrance of rice that permeates the entire city, his eyes were full of smiles.

"Speaking of which..."

Liu Hen looked at Black Stone: "Now I should be able to help you awaken. Are you mentally prepared?"

"Awakening..."

Blackstone hesitated for a moment.

"Is there a problem?" Liu Hen asked, puzzled.

Black Stone looked at Liu Hen: "My lord, I am only able to stay by your side because of your wish. If I awaken... I may no longer be my pure self, but a fusion of the Wish Stone and myself. I am worried that I will no longer be the original me."

She once longed to possess immense power.

But now, she is second only to the emperor, and even without gaining great power, it will not affect her status.

She doesn't want to change the status quo.
