Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

104: Chapter 104: The Camp’s Strength, Rapid Enhancement (2-in-1 Mega Chapter) 104: Chapter 104: The Camp’s Strength, Rapid Enhancement (2-in-1 Mega Chapter) As Xia Hong had predicted, ten days after Luo Yuan’s breakthrough, Zhao Long also broke through, followed closely by Xia Chuan, Zhao Hu, and Zhao Bao, who all reached the Earth-digging Realm within the next twenty days.

More crucially, during this process, the number of people in the reserves breaking through to the Logging Realm continued to rise steadily.

By the time the youngest of the Zhao brothers, Zhao Bao, broke through to the Earth-digging Realm, the number of people in the camp at the Logging Realm had increased from 110 to 140, and according to Xia Hong’s observation of the reserves, this trend was ongoing.

The reserves had a total of 302 people, and only 109 had broken through so far.

Though the break-through would vary due to talent, it would not be staggered for too long.

It can be foreseen, in the near future, the remaining 193 people will all break through, indicating that the current wave of growth in the number of people at the Logging Realm in the camp is far from over.

The rapid increase in the number of people at the Logging Realm has brought obvious benefits.

Firstly, the speed of wood accumulation has almost doubled, and it can be said that with Great Xia’s current population scale, wood is no longer an issue, with only surplus remaining and no more shortages.

Secondly, Mu Dong’s Craftsmen Workshop and Xia Chuan’s Camp Supply Station were no longer just led by the three of them.

Both institutions chose some people according to their needs from those at the Logging Realm.

Finally, more and more people were working in the valley.

Organizing wood, cleaning up the valley environment, going out to chop wood, exploring the surrounding environment with the logging team, assisting craftsmen with tool-making, helping the hunting team handle Cold Beasts, assisting the camp supply station in organizing the warehouse…

These tasks sound simple.

But in reality, people without the cultivation of the Logging Realm simply couldn’t do it.

Take the simple task of organizing wood, those trees weighing thousands or tens of thousands of pounds, without the basic strength standard, you couldn’t move them at all, and even with a knife, you couldn’t chop through them.

If you can’t even break the wood, let alone make tools with iron.

Even Mu Dong, who before reaching the Logging Realm, had to ask people from the logging team for help while making new cabin fittings.

Initially, Xia Hong suspected that the Logging Realm was the baseline standard for humans in the Ice Abyss World, and anyone below it, without relying on a strong one, simply didn’t even have the qualification to survive.

Not to mention going out to chop wood or doing many other things.

Despite the real problems in front of them, there was still a heap of them.

But the increasingly busy scene in the valley camp made Xia Hong feel immensely fulfilled, feeling that his hard work during this period had not been in vain.

After months of intense and frenzied hunting, he paid not only with effort and fatigue, but both he and the other fifteen members of the hunting team bore many real scars.

Others even had a few close-to-death situations.

Had Xia Hong not strictly controlled the hunting range to within five hundred meters from the edge, plus having the miraculous medicine Golden Sore Powder, a death in the hunting team would have been highly likely.

Probably because Xia Hong, as the leader, set a good example, anyone in the camp who reached the Logging Realm had little time to be idle come evening.

They either went out with Cheng Feng to log wood;

Or helped with tasks in the Craftsmen Workshop;

Tasks like digging ground piles didn’t need Xia Hong to arrange; as long as coal was burned at the Iron Refining Furnace, someone would take up the idle tools and start digging;

At the very least, they helped organize the wood and tidy the valley.

People naturally like to compare, and the atmosphere created by the over one hundred people who first broke through stirred an even higher enthusiasm for cultivation among the rest of the reserve personnel who hadn’t broken through yet.

Not to mention proving one’s value, even just being able to go out after breaking through was enough to make them envious.

The reserve was like this, let alone the remaining ten members of the hunting team.

With the breakthroughs of Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, and the other five, only five of the promised ten sets of Earth-digging Realm apparel were left, driving them to train even harder.

Whether on hunting outings or staying at the camp, they pushed themselves, fearing someone would beat them to the breaking point and take the clothes first.

Xia Hong did not make any further changes to the camp, nor did he specifically organize the matters of the logging team, hunting team, camp supply station, and craftsmen workshop, instead allowing the camp to maintain this atmosphere.

Of course, it wasn’t as if he did nothing.

To ensure the commencement of construction of the new cabin soon, he reduced the frequency of hunting and set aside time with Xia Chuan and the other four specifically for mining and digging ground piles.

A month passed after Zhao Bao’s breakthrough.

Xia Hong, covered in dust, returned to the camp with the hunting team and hadn’t even entered the cabin before Mu Dong approached him.

Upon hearing a few words from Mu Dong, a smile immediately appeared on Xia Hong’s face.

After a moment of thought, he turned to Xia Chuan behind him and said, “Chuan, gather everyone in the camp who is above the Logging Realm, and have them all assemble in the cabin.”

“Yes, leader!”

After directing Xia Chuan to notify the others, Xia Hong quickly walked into the cabin and sat directly on the wooden chair beside the Iron Refining Furnace.
