Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1178: Chapter 400: Building Upgrades, Preparation and Plans, Spousal Tacit Understanding (Part 4)

Hearing Xia Hong’s tease, Mu Dong’s expression froze.

”Moreover, if I remember correctly, you are already fifty-seven this year. With the Cold Resistance Level lifespan of a hundred, whether you live that long is still a question. If you don’t focus on cultivation, you’ll regret it when your lifespan runs out!”

Mu Dong was an early craftsman merged from Rogel Camp. When Great Xia moved to the valley, he was already over forty. Among the current Eight Departments Directors, apart from Prison Department Minister Li Tiancheng, he is the oldest.

Upon hearing Xia Hong’s reminder, Mu Dong suddenly paused, clearly realizing something. Looking at Xia Hong with a moved expression, he said, ”Thank you for the lord’s reminder. I understand and will certainly spend more time on cultivation in the future.”

Xia Hong slightly nodded and didn’t say anything more.

[Artifact Refining Pavilion (Level 4)]

[Upgrade Requirements: Coal 2 billion, Iron 3 billion, Silver 70 million]

The upgrade for the Artifact Refining Pavilion doesn’t require wood resources, but the need for coal, iron, and silver is even more than for the Alchemy Pavilion.

[Resources: Wood 7.7261 billion, Coal 8.0872 billion, Iron 7.8625 billion, Silver 158.2 million]

Fortunately, Xia Hong’s assets are already substantial now.

Upgrade!

Just like the Alchemy Pavilion moments ago, the Artifact Refining Pavilion also emitted a strong light, but this time everyone was more experienced, and almost no one exclaimed.

Mu Dong had already been full of anticipation when Xia Hong came in. Now, seeing the strong light bursting from the Artifact Refining Pavilion, his expression was naturally extremely excited.

[Artifact Refining Pavilion (Level 5): A place for crafting, capable of crafting weapons from Ten Forged to Ten Thousand Forged]

[Special Function 1: 5% probability of crafting Beast Suppressing Attribute Weapons]

[Special Function 2: 0.1% probability of crafting Suppression Attribute Items]

[Special Function 3: Can identify and distinguish various artifact refining materials, with a probability of synthesizing new materials]

[Upgrade Requirements: Coal 9 billion, Iron 15 billion, Silver 1 billion, Gold 100,000]

The production rate of Beast Suppressing Attribute Weapons has increased, and there is now a probability of forging Suppression Attribute Items. Although 0.1% is very low, considering the efficiency of the Artifact Refining Pavilion’s output, it’s not low.

The Artifact Refining Pavilion doesn’t just craft weapons; most other casting materials are produced here, meaning from now on, every 1,000 items produced will include 1 with a Suppression Attribute!

”You study the changes of the Artifact Refining Pavilion slowly, I’m going to the Martial Arts Pavilion.”

”Farewell, Lord!”

Mu Dong hadn’t even raised his head when Xia Hong had already vanished from his sight.

......

”Subordinate greets the Lord!”

At the top floor of the Martial Arts Pavilion, Bai Wuting, who was sorting lists, immediately stood up excitedly upon seeing Xia Hong enter.

”No need for formalities, I’m here to handle some matters!”

The Martial Arts Pavilion is managed by the Camp Supply Department, but Qiu Peng, the director, couldn’t possibly keep an eye on it all day. Two years ago, he selected someone from the Camp Supply Department to serve as the pavilion master responsible for the daily management of the Martial Arts Pavilion—Bai Wuting.

Bai Wuting had long noticed the changes in the Artifact Refining Pavilion and the Alchemy Pavilion, so when he saw Xia Hong come in, his face was full of anticipation.

[Upgrade Requirements: Wood 1 billion, Coal 3 billion, Iron 4 billion, Silver 80 million]

[Resources: Wood 7.7261 billion, Coal 6.0872 billion, Iron 4.8625 billion, Silver 88.2 million]

Xia Hong didn’t waste words, quickly checking the resources and upgrade conditions. Finding the resources just about sufficient, he directly chose to upgrade.

A flash of strong light passed by. The thousand people focused on cultivation inside the Martial Arts Pavilion weren’t affected at all. Only Bai Wuting’s pupils trembled incessantly, his face full of anticipation.

[Martial Arts Pavilion (Level 5): A place for cultivation, capable of significantly enhancing cultivation speed, increasing martial arts comprehension, and providing fifty Cold Beast Stakes.]

[Special Function 1: Cold Beast Stake can use Essence Blood to record Cold Beast species, transform into any Cold Beast, and display that Cold Beast’s full-grown power.]

[Special Function 2: When activated within the Yangxu Tripod’s radiation range, Cold Beast Stake can follow commands and fight autonomously.]

[Special Function 3: Cultivation speed inside the Martial Arts Pavilion is triple that of the outside world, with a maximum capacity of 3,000 people]

[Special Function 4: Sparring with Cold Beast Stakes doubles martial arts comprehension efficiency]

[Martial Arts Pavilion Consumption: Daily/Silver 4,000 points]

[Cold Beast Stake Consumption: Varies from minimum strength to maximum strength, ranging from Coal Stone 100 points per minute to Silver 1,000 points per minute]

[Upgrade Requirements: Wood 20 billion, Coal 18 billion, Iron 5 billion, Silver 1.5 billion, Gold 150,000]

The number of Cold Beast Stakes hasn’t changed, still fifty.

The augmentation in cultivation speed inside the Martial Arts Pavilion hasn’t changed, still three times.

However, the number of people it can accommodate has tripled.

Of course, the consumption has increased accordingly.

Daily consumption of 4,000 points is twice as high as the Alchemy Pavilion’s medicinal field consumption.

As for the subsequent upgrade requirements, let’s not even mention that.

Xia Hong slightly shook his head, then reported the detailed changes of the Martial Arts Pavilion to Bai Wuting, instructing him to immediately arrange with the Camp Supply Department to expand the Martial Arts Pavilion’s cultivation capacity before turning to leave.

The area of the Great Xia Inner City had expanded, but the overall architectural layout remained unchanged.

Behind the Three Pavilions is the Great Xia Ancestral Temple, with the main hall of Great Xia in front. Xia Hong left the Martial Arts Pavilion and directly flew to the main hall, but instead of going to the top floor Political Hall, he first went to the second-floor warehouse.

”Greetings to the Lord!”

The silver doors of the second-floor warehouse, guarded by over a hundred Cold Resistance Level soldiers, swung open as Xia Hong approached, and everyone immediately bowed in salute.

”No need for formalities; open the door.”

”Yes!”

Over a hundred people bowed, listened to the command, and then several turned to push open the door.

As the doors opened, a surge of silver light burst forth, and even Xia Hong had to shield his eyes, not to mention the hundreds of Cold Resistance Level soldiers.
