Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 235 Ten Years, Extreme Yang Branch
Since there was nothing else to do, Liu Hen decided to develop the transportation and combat capabilities of Lutu Town.

Although he was absolutely invincible within the town and even outside, he couldn't always protect the residents, could he?

Although there are no other forces nearby now, there will definitely be in the future.

In order to gain greater benefits, residents will definitely choose to engage in commerce and other activities, which will inevitably lead to danger.

We're not afraid of anything inside the town, but that won't work outside. We need to prepare some security measures for the residents.

Even though residents can almost always be resurrected in the fire after they die, almost all of them become permanent residents, which is not very cost-effective.

Besides, how can the people of Travel Town be bullied by outsiders?

When the residents of Lutu Town go out, they represent Liu Hen's own reputation.

Therefore, in the following period, he vigorously promoted the development of the mining industry and increased the purchase price of ore.

The main ores they collect are iron ore, copper ore, silver ore, gold ore, and obsidian ore.

Of course, fossils are also being acquired, and at a higher price, but only those that have been collected are being sought; not just any fossil is being bought.

Some fossils buried deep in the earth can be collected and purified to upgrade the All Things Pickaxe.

During this process, Liu Hen drastically reduced the price of the land combat vehicle, making it possible to purchase one vehicle for just 100 million magic crystals.

Although 100 million magic crystals is an exaggeration, given the current situation in Journey Town, it is not impossible for a group of people to achieve it by working together.

If everyone in the entire town worked together, they might be able to raise enough money for one car in a year.

In the third year, Bai Ling finally led the Yeti tribe to the town of Lutu, bringing with her three intact land vehicles, making them the first residents to truly own land vehicles.

The hundreds of land vehicles that Liu Hen originally gave them were almost all destroyed; they had practically fought their way here.

It's worth mentioning that after Bai Ling relayed Liu Hen's words to the Snow Demon Clan, the Snow Demon Clan actually ate the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing that the Snow Maiden had preserved.

As a result, the Snow Demon clan suddenly gained three more deities, including the clan leader, Xueqin.

For this reason, the Snow Demons drove away the outsiders. Because they preferred the snow mountain environment, they did not migrate with the Yeti, but only escorted the Yeti over.

In the fourth year, the snow stopped.

The cold season that had lasted for seven or eight years has finally passed, and the temperature in the Night Fog World has risen considerably, allowing the wasteland dwellers to once again venture out.

It was only then that Liu Hen realized that there were also desert dwellers in this area, but those desert dwellers had been hibernating.

Unfortunately, not many of the wilderness dwellers were able to awaken. Within a radius of 100,000 miles, there were only tens of thousands of wilderness dwellers in total.

Apart from the town of Travel, this area is almost deserted.

As the cold season ends and the earth's own heat evaporates, the snow begins to melt.

Even if the temperature remains below zero, this snow will still melt.

In the sixth year, the snow had completely melted.

With the end of the cold season, the residents of Lutu Town finally began to officially engage in trade.

Hu Jinshi originally planned to travel as a merchant himself, but because he had a formal position in the town, he gave up the idea of ​​traveling as a merchant himself and had one of his subordinates take his place.

The Travel Town Trading Company was also officially established in this year. With the incredibly fast land vehicles, they could do business with other major powers 600,000 kilometers away.

Those powerful forces were astonished by the strength of the town of Lutu and came to investigate in their land chariots.

Almost all of those who came to the examination hall chose to join the Journey Town immediately, never to return.

This caused the population of Lutu Town to surge rapidly in a short period of time, and Hong Ming was finally able to exploit those outsiders at will again.

Because the town itself has had many children, its population has surged to nearly 100,000.

So Liu Hen expanded Lutu Town once again, this time expanding it to a length and width of thirty kilometers.

In this way, there should be no need for further expansion for at least a century. Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Black Stone was already twenty-six years old. Of course, as a god-level being, her apparent age was almost fixed at eighteen years old and would never change again.

On that very day, the All Things Pickaxe reached the level of Fossil Level 2.

At this point, the number of slots in the inventory has increased to 20,000.

However, the upgrade time for the next level increases exponentially again, taking a hundred years.

The materials required for the upgrade, besides the need for three fossils, amount to an astonishing ten billion magic crystals.

Liu Hen suddenly suspected that the sixth realm might be the absolute limit, because if things continued at this rate, the time required for subsequent upgrades would become increasingly exorbitant.

But it doesn't matter, he's invincible now anyway.

Even if they are at the same level of Transcendent Realm, they cannot be harmed once they enter their own rule domain. All harmful forces that enter their own rule domain will be eliminated and disintegrated.

They are inherently in an invincible position.

'A hundred years is fine, there's no rush anyway.'

He continued upgrading the All Things Pickaxe.

Once the countdown for upgrading the All Things Pickaxe began, he upgraded the Source Campfire.

The time required for the Pure Land Source Bonfire to upgrade from Level 1 to Level 2 is also ten years.

He was numb, but it didn't matter. Like he said, he was invincible now and wasn't in a hurry.

On the same day, Liu Hen was astonished to discover that he had actually synthesized the formula for a physical enhancement potion.

"This only appears when it's almost no longer needed..."

He was also somewhat speechless.

Because now, apart from those who joined later, the weakest residents of Travel Town are all at the third realm.

Hong Ming, thanks to his abundant cultivation resources, has already reached the early stage of the sixth realm.

Hu Jinshi's cultivation speed was the slowest; even with the support of his rank, he was only at the peak of the fourth realm.

Zong Ni had already reached the peak of the fifth realm, and was only one step away from the sixth realm. She was about to catch up with Hong Ming.

"However, it can be sold. Energy potions, which can permanently increase the physical fitness of ordinary people, would definitely be bestsellers."

In fact, it works not only on ordinary people, but also on people with superpowers.

However, once the pure strength exceeds 300 kilograms, the stamina potion will no longer be effective and will only work on the weak.

Over the past decade, Liu Hen has synthesized many formulas.

Among them are formulas for manufacturing 'daily necessities'.

After the formula for the energy potion was developed, it was even possible to produce it using equipment used to manufacture 'daily necessities'.

I don't know if it's my superpower malfunctioning or what, but the energy potion was somehow assigned to the daily necessities category.

"My lord, another Extreme Yang Branch has appeared over there."

At that moment, Black Stone flew over and pointed outside Travel Town.

"Another extremely yang branch has appeared?"

Liu Hen exclaimed in surprise, "This is the third one in ten years, right? Counting the first one, this is the fourth one already."
