Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1194: Chapter 403: A Small Gathering and Great Xia’s Strength, Six Garrisons Arrive Together

A cultivation speed increase of over 2 hairs in just over a month is quite unbelievable!

”You two only started using the Master’s organ in August. The effect of this organ will gradually decrease over time. The cultivation speed is indeed fast in the first month, but it’ll slowly stabilize later. I’m already in my fifth month now, and I expect to increase by at most half a hair this month.”

Upon hearing Xu Ning’s words, the expressions of Qiu Peng and the other two finally relaxed a bit.

Among the three, Qiu Peng was the strongest with a power of 31 hairs, followed by Yue Feng with 30 hairs, and Lin Kai was relatively the weakest with only 29 hairs.

It’s not that they don’t want Yuan Cheng and the others to strengthen, but if the three of them keep increasing at this rapid pace, they would fall behind in a few years.

”We also face limits with Dan medicine enhancements, and the current gap is almost 10 hairs wide. The gap between us will probably grow bigger in the future!”

Upon Yue Feng’s lament, Yuan Cheng quickly raised his hand to comfort him: ”Given the Lord’s current strength, treasures similar to the Master’s organ will certainly appear again in the future; next time, it’ll be your turn. Lu Yang and I were just lucky enough to have enough Contribution Value, otherwise, who knows who would have gotten to use the organ!”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Peng got a bit irritated, took a swig of liquor, and glared fiercely at Lu Yang and Yuan Cheng: ”I really suffered a big loss this time, I was short by just 350,000 Contribution Value, and you two snatched it first.”

”Hahaha...”

Yuan Cheng knew about this. Xia Hong had set the price for Yan Long and Vajra Master’s two organs at 10 million each. Except for Xia Chuan and Yuwen Dao, he and Lu Yang were the only ones who could afford it in the whole camp. Qiu Peng’s Contribution Value was precisely 9.65 million, just 350,000 short, of course, he felt bitter thinking about it now.

”10 million Contribution Value... I saved up for nearly half a year and spent it all at once. If there’s another treasure, it definitely won’t be my turn next time.”

After Lu Yang’s words fell, Xu Ning said wistfully on the side: ”You guys could scrape together such a large amount, but I still owe the Camp Supply Department over a million Contribution Value, and probably won’t clear it until the end of the year.”

”Hahahahaha...”

Upon Xu Ning’s words, everyone burst into laughter.

When Xu Ning was revived at the end of April, he only had over 5 million Contribution Value, and Xia Hong had priced Master Wusheng’s organ at 8 million. Xu Ning was still about 3 million short then. For over four months, he had been stationed at Bashang, often going out to hunt to repay his debt, a widely told tale in Xia City by now.

”Those three Master’s organs were all precious treasures obtained at the risk of the Lord’s life. That he was willing to let us use them is a grace we can never repay. Xu Ning suggested that we six should toast the Lord together!”

Though they were joking, as soon as Xu Ning said this, the five instantly became solemn. Nodding seriously, they stood and raised their glasses above their heads, their faces full of reverence and respect, and said in unison:

”Eternal Lord, eternal Great Xia!”

All six drank their glasses in one go before sitting down again.

”Qiu Peng, how many people did the Lord actually transfer over this time? When I brought the Dongyang Army back from Hanqiong on a forced march, I saw that nearly all the posts along the way only had ordinary Earth-digging Realm cultivators. Could the Lord have transferred all the Cold Resistance Level and Earth-digging Realm Limit people to Hongmen?”

Lu Yang’s Dongyang Army had been stationed at Hanqiong, and they had received a sudden order to move to Hongmen. Due to the late deployment, he arrived even later than the Falcon Hunting and Xiongwu armies from Long Mountain, so he wasn’t fully briefed on the situation.

Having indulged too much, he excitedly sought clarification from Qiu Peng now that he’d sobered up a bit.

Not only Lu Yang but also Yue Feng, who returned one step earlier from Long Mountain, Xu Ning who had come back last night from Bashang, and Yuan Cheng and Lin Kai, who had remained at Hongmen, were obviously unsure of the situation, and they all looked at Qiu Peng with curiosity.

Qiu Peng’s gaze slightly hardened, directly nodding to confirm Lu Yang’s guess, and then said, ”Indeed, all the Cold Resistance Level and Earth-digging Realm Limit!”

The expressions of the five froze instantly, shock written all over their faces.

”All of them?”

”Did I hear wrong?”

”From Xia City and the 58 posts in Great Xia Territory, all the Cold Resistance Level and Earth-digging Realm Limit people were transferred?”

......

Seeing the five were still somewhat incredulous, Qiu Peng continued to nod, sneering: ”To deter, naturally, it must be thorough. Randomly pulling some people wouldn’t achieve any deterrent effect.”

Yuan Cheng suddenly thought of something and asked curiously: ”By the way, Qiu Peng, I still don’t know, how many Cold Resistance Level and Earth-digging Realm Limit people does our Great Xia have now?”

The other four immediately turned to look at Qiu Peng upon hearing the question.

For anyone at the Logging Realm or above in Great Xia, a separate record is kept at the Camp Supply Department, forming specialized Contribution Value accounts. Thus, understanding the numbers at every stage within the camp, Qiu Peng, as the Director of the Camp Supply Department, knows best.

”Cold Resistance Level: 7,304; Earth-digging Realm Limit: 24,572.”

When Qiu Peng provided the numbers, the pupils of the five widened in shock.

Especially Lu Yang, whose face filled with delight, couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly: ”In terms of strength alone, our Great Xia is not inferior to any of the northern Three Towns, not even Beishuo can match us!”
