Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 611: Chapter 259: Mission, Helplessness, Ongoing Screening_3

In other words, Liu Peng in front of us is only twelve years old this year, while Lu Dong and Zhao Yuanwu are only eleven.

Considering the age gap between himself and the three of them, Xiang Liang naturally feels a deep sense of powerlessness. He’s almost seventeen, with a Basic Strength of 5900, while these three, who are four to five years younger than him, also have a Basic Strength of over 5000.

Comparing oneself to others can be really maddening!

Xiang Liang shook his head slightly, swiftly leading everyone around those youths, and then arrived beneath the main building.

Looking at the Four-legged Square Tripod beneath the main building, Xiang Liang was momentarily stunned and instinctively raised his head to look at the grand hall on the top floor of the main building.

Four months ago, he went to the top floor’s grand hall for presenting a treasure. Although he saw a three-legged round tripod at the time, he could clearly sense that the larger Four-legged Square Tripod in front of him should be the same object he saw then, just changed in form for some unknown reason.

This square tripod should be placed in the grand hall on the top floor; why is it here!

“Everyone, come over in turn and touch the Holy Tripod. After touching it, leave from the other end; no one should be missed. Begin!”

The order Xiang Liang received tonight was to bring his team in front of the Inner City Main Building. Initially, he thought it was just his team, but later found out it was the entire Beehive, more than ten thousand people, who had to come over. He thought it was to motivate these newcomers and officially announce their joining of the Great Xia.

But upon hearing the command from that captain of the Camp Supply Department, he realized it wasn’t what he thought.

“Touching the Holy Tripod, what does that mean?”

Xiang Liang couldn’t help but murmur inwardly, but thinking of his task, he obediently arranged personnel to start touching the Holy Tripod one after another.

After a team of more than five hundred people, including himself, had all touched the Holy Tripod, Xiang Liang realized it wasn’t just the more than ten thousand people from Beehive; everyone from both the Inner City and Outer City of the Great Xia had come.

Everyone lined up on the main street to touch the Holy Tripod in turn, then left through the side passage.

“What is going on?”

“I don’t know either, it was notified by Lord Chief.”

“Touching the Holy Tripod, could it be a blessing?”

“Possibly, the leader just returned, must be his idea.”

“Then there’s nothing more to say. I’ve always wanted to see the Holy Tripod, and now I finally get my hands on it, I must feel it well.”

“Hahaha, indeed, the Holy Tripod is usually placed on the top floor, we couldn’t even see it usually, we must seize the opportunity today.”

………

With Xia Hong’s current prestige, whatever he says, the entire camp would almost unquestionably follow, not to mention that the Cold Ruins Tripod already holds a supremely exalted position in the minds of the Great Xia people.

Qiu Peng deliberately turned this selection into something resembling a religious ritual, clearly targeting this new portion from Beehive, making them initially worship the Cold Ruins Tripod, so that any future supernatural occurrences would be more readily accepted. At the same time, they would show greater reverence, even fanaticism, towards the Cold Ruins Tripod and the leader Xia Hong.

Just touching it is not too cumbersome, and there is always someone maintaining order, thus the efficiency is high.

Yet, with over fifty thousand people in the camp, this selection lasted well into the early hours of the morning.

“You lead the team directly to the Outer City gate, I will put the Cold Ruins Tripod there, the batch from Mirror Valley should be arriving, and for the following days, everyone from Mirror Valley must touch the Cold Ruins Tripod before entering the city.”

In the Alchemy Workshop, Xia Hong was listening to Cheng Feng speak, sensing the screening work over at the main building had finished, he immediately interrupted Cheng Feng to first give Qiu Peng an order.

“Yes, Leader, I’ll go right now!”

With about five thousand people arriving in one night, around fifty thousand more are expected, requiring at least ten nights, so they can relocate everything by the ninth of May.

After calculating, Xia Hong instantly turned to look at Cheng Feng and said:

“Continue with what you were saying, how many formulas have been synthesized during this period, bring all the Dan Medicine for me to see.”

Cheng Feng immediately took out four porcelain bottles from his chest, his expression excited as he spoke.

“Leader, please take a look…”
