Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 3 May the light be with you, collecting

Liu Hen put the magic crystal into the space backpack, but found that the magic crystal did not appear in the only grid, but was converted into data and appeared below the data of the pickaxe of all things.

This situation made him feel something in his heart, and he took it out again without leaving any trace.

"Can I take it out at any time? Good, that saves a grid."

Putting the magic crystal away again, he suddenly looked at Zong Ni next to him: "Do you have any magic crystals on you?"

One magic crystal is enough to create a workbench.

But what if after the workbench is built, magic crystals are also needed to make other items?

Therefore, it is necessary to reserve more magic crystals.

Zong Ni immediately showed a look of vigilance: "No."

They were just a temporary team and were not at the level where they could share supplies.

After all, Liu Hen had been in the sand and gravel business for seven or eight years in his previous life, so he had a pretty good ability to read people's expressions and could tell at a glance that Zong Ni had a magic crystal on her body.

He then said in a gentle and persuasive way, "When I borrow it from you, I will pay you back double later."

"No."

Zong Ni was not tempted and started to strip the clothes off Huang Hu's body. She threw a coat to Liu Hen and said, "This one is yours. The pyrite was lost in your hands this time. I stopped Huang Hu, so I made a greater contribution. I want most of the spoils."

Because the environment is extremely cold, clothes are also very important supplies, even more important than food.

Of course, it also depends on needs. Generally speaking, clothes and food are necessary supplies.

The time in the night fog world is divided into late night and light night.

It is early night now, and visibility is higher. Ordinary people can see twenty to thirty meters away, and the temperature is generally around minus twenty degrees Celsius.

It is more terrifying late at night. Even those who have adapted to the night fog world can only see within ten meters, just like before in the mine.

If you encounter special circumstances, you may even be pitch dark.

As for the temperature, it will drop to minus 40 to minus 60 degrees Celsius late at night.

Even though it rarely rains or snows because the water has condensed, the temperature will continue to drop when the wind blows.

In this case, clothes that can keep you warm become extremely important.

Because the cold will take away body heat, it will indirectly accelerate hunger.

As Zong Ni spoke, she continued to strip the clothes off the corpse and put them on herself.

She even took off her pants without any change in expression and put them on herself to keep herself warm as much as possible.

"I can give you all the clothes, I just want the magic crystals."

Liu Hen felt that the three tattered clothes on his body could barely block the cold wind, and as long as he could raise the level of his golden finger, the problem of keeping warm should be solved.

So he threw the coat back and said, "I want the magic crystal I just found. Give me the magic crystal on you as well."

"What do you want so many magic crystals for?"

Zong Ni threw the coat back in her hand suspiciously: "I only have one on me. This is a life-saving material. I absolutely cannot give it to you."

Liu Hen was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed and he turned his head sharply to the left.

Zong Ni also turned her head suddenly and saw three pairs of eyes emitting faint green light approaching from the darkness.

There were three human-shaped figures, staring at them intently as soon as they appeared.

No, to be exact, they were staring at the corpse in front of them.

"It's a madman."

Zong Ni's face darkened: "Let's leave here first."

After saying that, she left quickly.

Liu Hen hurriedly chased after him, searching his mind for memories of the "mad man".

Soon, he found out that the so-called "mad people" were actually crazy savages.

Some people speculate that the origin of the mad people is that the starving people ate humans, which changed the food chain. After they completely degenerated themselves, their sanity was influenced by the night fog world and gradually evolved.

The scavengers are actually scavengers who run around everywhere looking for anything they can use in order to survive.

Although some of the savages also eat people, these people have not completely lost their minds and are not considered crazy.

To a certain extent, the crazy people can no longer be considered human beings, but inhumane man-eating monsters.

As the two men left, the three crazy people behind them suddenly sped up and pounced on Huang Hu's body. They got on all fours and pounced on the prey like vicious dogs.

Soon, there came from behind the body the sounds of fighting, howling, biting, and swallowing that were not like human voices, which made people's scalps tingle.

Although Liu Hen felt nauseous, the swallowing sound made him feel even hungrier, as if there was a real fire burning in his stomach.

In this state, he felt dizzy and his vision went dark, and it seemed that he might faint from hunger at any time.

"I need to eat something quickly..."

His first thought was to go to the Hongluo camp immediately to exchange for food.

But it is more than 30 kilometers from here to Hongluo Camp.

When traveling in the night fog world, you must always be alert to your surroundings and not walk too fast. Under normal circumstances, it will take at least one day to complete this journey.

In his current state, he was likely to starve to death on the road. Normal desert dwellers could easily continue on their journey even in a state of extreme hunger. As long as they weren't starving to death, they could continue moving and searching for food until they completely starved to death. It was virtually impossible for them to faint from hunger.

Because the people of this world have undergone some kind of evolution and adapted to the extreme environment of the famine world, their mental will is very strong.

But he is a time traveler, his soul is brand new, even though he has accepted the memories of the original owner and is much more resilient than in his previous life, his mental will has not experienced that kind of tempering.

Thinking about this, he looked at Zong Ni with a stiff upper lip: "Do you have any food on you?"

Although it was a bit shameful to ask for food from a woman...a little girl, he couldn't care less at this time.

If you want to survive in this famine-stricken world, you must first let go of your so-called self-esteem.

Zong Ni frowned and looked at him: "We just ate two days ago... Were you injured just now?"

Liu Hen: “……?”

I just ate two days ago!

Not to mention the past two days, a normal person would be very hungry if they didn't eat a meal. Now Liu Hen felt like he would starve to death at any time.

"I still have some tree cakes here..."

Zong Ni took out a black thing from her dirty clothes, hesitated for a moment, and broke it evenly into two pieces.

She threw one of the pieces to Liu Hen, which was actually only the length and size of a thumb: "Let's end our cooperation here. May the light be with you."

"I'll pay you back double later."

Liu Hen took the tree cake as if it were a treasure, but then his expression changed slightly: "Are you leaving? Do you want to form a real team? This way, I can take care of you. We have been through hardships together, so I should be trustworthy, right?"

"I'm used to acting alone. But if we meet next time, I'd consider it."

Zong Ni didn't waver at all and strode directly into the darkness. Although she was small, she had fearless courage.

Because there are too few useful supplies to be found, there are not enough to share with too many people, and cannibalism is very common in the Night Fog World, so except for those who are absolutely trusted, few people dare to form a real team.

Usually they form a team in the early evening and disband late at night, and each of them finds a place to spend the night.

They are a team of that nature.

"Then...may the light shine upon you, may courage always be with you, and may you move forward fearlessly."

Liu Hen could only offer his blessings, which was the catchphrase of the barbarians.

After giving his blessing, he quickly found a place sheltered from the wind and ate the tree cake quickly.

This so-called tree cake is actually made by crushing a non-toxic tree into powder and mixing it with a very small amount of red snail meat.

This kind of food is also the food traded by Hongluo Camp. A food coupon worth one kilogram can be exchanged for one kilogram of tree cake.

The taste is... extremely unpalatable, it contains very few calories, and it is very hard in a cold environment.

Only the stomachs of the barbarians can digest this kind of food. The "pampered" people in the camp simply won't eat this kind of food.

But at this time, Liu Hen had no right to complain about anything, so he ate it with gritted teeth.

Finally, after eating a small piece of tree cake, although the burning sensation became stronger after my stomach and intestines were awakened, at least I no longer felt dizzy.

"We must upgrade our cheat code as soon as possible. We can't wait any longer."

It just so happens that there are no outsiders here now, so I can let loose.

Liu Hen immediately took out the Black Iron-grade All-Kind Pickaxe, first looked around vigilantly to make sure nothing was approaching, and then began to swing the pickaxe to dig.

It takes one hundred pieces of iron ore to make a workbench. There is a lot of ordinary iron ore in this stone mountain area, so there is no need to go to the mine.

"Crack!"

The pickaxe fell, and fine cracks immediately appeared on the surface of the stone in front of him. The crisp sound was heard far away in the dead silence and darkness.

[Slag +1]

A stone appeared in the only slot in the space backpack.

Liu Hen was alert to his surroundings, and at the same time, he took out the [slag stone] and found that it was just an ordinary stone the size of a fist and square.

'Good rules, like they've been cut.'

Because there is only one grid, and the collected materials can only be considered successfully collected if they appear in the space backpack.

He had no choice but to throw it away and continue collecting.

"when……"

[Slag +1]

Throw away.

[Slag +1]

Keep throwing it away.

After this continued for more than ten times, finally—

Iron Ore +1
