Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 469: Chapter 215: Teaching Luo Cheng Techniques, News of the Jade Bone (Part 2)

He lived not far from Luo Ming’s residence. Luo Ming would take the team out hunting almost every night, which indicated that their father-son duo was not living comfortably and might even be a bit tight financially.

For Luo Cheng to deliver five pounds to him every day was indeed not few.

He could tell at a glance that Luo Cheng’s basic strength was over 4800 pounds, just a step away from the Logging Realm, so he deliberately asked such a question.

Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng indeed showed a hint of difficulty on his face, but quickly bit his teeth and said, “I’m just a little short. No rush!”

Seeing Luo Cheng’s conflicted expression, Xia Hong inwardly chuckled. This time he didn’t wait for Luo Cheng to leave but took out the jar of salt in front of him, added salt to the beast meat, and handed Luo Cheng a pair of chopsticks.

“Come and have a taste. That way, you won’t say I’m taking advantage of you.”

When he saw the white crystals in the jar, Luo Cheng’s eyes instantly lit up. Hearing Xia Hong inviting him to eat together, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he rushed to the table, picking up the beast meat and putting it in his mouth.

With a mouthful of beast meat in his stomach, Luo Cheng’s face was full of enjoyment, and his eyes also showed the expression of ‘as expected’.

The basin he got back a few days ago, he used to cook things later, found the taste much more aromatic, he suspected then Xia Hong must have added something. Seeing it firsthand today, he finally confirmed it.

“Uncle Yu, this is so delicious. What did you add? I’ve never tasted such good beast meat, and after eating it, I feel my strength has greatly increased.”

“Salt, something from Great Xia!”

Xia Hong answered concisely, causing Luo Cheng’s eyes to gradually sparkle, and his longing for Great Xia rose instantly to another level.

“Your face is like a monkey’s butt, quickly go cultivate to disperse the strength!”

Upon hearing this, Luo Cheng was taken aback, reached up to touch his face, and found his cheeks burning hot. Realizing it was the effect of the salt, he quickly stood up, went outside, pulled out the small knife in his hand, and began cultivating.

The main components of salt are intermediate beast bones and frozen pearls, the energy contained within is not low, and along with the body’s need of this feature, the first-time consumption reaction is this major, was within Xia Hong’s expectations.

But Luo Cheng was unaware, waving the small knife in his hand, sensing the energy obtained inside him, far exceeding several times the usual intake of beast meat, he thought the salt was some precious material, his expression instantly excited beyond measure.

Hoo… hoo… hoo…

Watching Luo Cheng swing the knife and cultivate for a while, Xia Hong shook his head.

“This lad probably has no talent for swordsmanship!”

Although Luo Cheng was just over ten years old, his height had already surpassed 1.6 meters, obviously taller than his peers. The small knife he wielded looked custom-made, only over ninety centimeters.

Despite his skilled knife-wielding posture, appearing vigorous and fierce, Xia Hong could see at a glance that he was not proficient in the variations of swordsmanship, his advantages were in arm strength and wrist strength, the coordination of double-arm exertion was also striking, relying on these three points, he barely wielded the small knife with some semblance.

Practicing was visible, but really using it in combat was not feasible.

Arm strength, wrist strength, coordination of double-arm exertion…

Reflecting on these three points, Xia Hong glanced at the Yi Blade beside him, pondered for a moment, and immediately knew what weapon Luo Cheng was genuinely suited for.

“Hoo……”

Outside, Luo Cheng suddenly retracted his power, exhaled heavily, lowered his head looking at his hands, his face full of excitement and agitation.

He broke through!

The Logging Realm, he directly broke through.

Originally according to his plan, even if he ate beast meat to cultivate regularly, the last two hundred pounds of basic strength would take at least two months to raise smoothly, but just one bite of salted beast meat directly broke through.

At this moment, Luo Cheng turned his head to look at Xia Hong, his face filled with excitement.

“If you have nothing to do, interact with him frequently, there will definitely be great gains!”

At this moment, he suddenly understood what Li Baihe meant with that remark.

Luo Cheng thought for a moment, walked up to Xia Hong, directly knelt down facing him, and bowed, “Thank you, Uncle Yu. Luo Cheng is deeply grateful!”

Except, before he could kneel down, a chair was horizontally placed over.

If he knelt down, it would be a formal teacher-student ceremony, Xia Hong naturally couldn’t let Luo Cheng kneel. Not to mention he had no intention to teach students, even if he really wanted to take on a student, with Luo Cheng’s current aptitude, he didn’t really find him up to par.

“No need to kneel, consider it compensation for delivering beast meat to me for so many days. Don’t bring beast meat tomorrow when you come by.”

Luo Cheng could naturally detect Xia Hong’s intent in his words. His face was originally somewhat disappointed, but upon hearing Xia Hong let him come back tomorrow, the disappointment was instantly swept away, and he eagerly nodded in agreement.

“Yes, Uncle Yu!”

Soon, Luo Cheng took two basins and left.

Sitting on the chair, Xia Hong watched Luo Cheng leave, a slight smile formed in his eyes, then turned his head toward the direction of the Hive Main Building.

“Idle or not, this lad is rather clever, might as well give him some guidance. As long as my ranking doesn’t rise, Chen Yingba should not notice me, just wait for news from Cheng Ping.”

Xia Hong mused for a while, estimating it was already dawn, grabbed his pack and two blades, and went out directly.

Early next morning, almost daybreak, Luo Cheng appeared again punctually.

This time he listened to Xia Hong’s words, and didn’t bring beast meat.

But upon entering the courtyard, he was directly stunned.

In the courtyard, were astonishingly three Cold Beasts, specifically Snow Mane and Frost Wolf.
