Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

209: Chapter 140 Mining Competition, The Hunt Begins [Triple-Length Chapter]_2 209: Chapter 140 Mining Competition, The Hunt Begins [Triple-Length Chapter]_2 Don’t just say two trees a night is enough, even if we have them cut down three trees a night.

I’m sure someone would try.

“Training the troops for a thousand days to use them in a single moment, the leader has given so much for the camp all this time, it’s finally time to give him some feedback, everyone mustn’t slack off.

Moreover, the leader’s breakthrough to the Cold Resistance Level is to defend against the Mirror Immortal Camp and to keep the territory of Redwood Ridge.

Ultimately, we will also benefit from it.”

After Xia Chuan finished saying this, everyone nodded emphatically.

Redwood Ridge is not only regarded as a forbidden domain of Great Xia by Xia Hong alone.

The people of the Daxia Camp think so too.

Looking at it now, the only viable way to hold onto Redwood Ridge in front of the Mirror Immortal Camp, which has two Cold Resistance Level strongmen, is for Xia Hong to quickly break through to the Cold Resistance Level.

“Alright, go down and start notifying everyone, the new regulation will officially take effect at nightfall.

In this period, everyone in the camp must get moving, no laziness is allowed.

When the leader breaks through, then we can relax a bit.

I won’t talk harsh, but take care of your subordinates, if anything goes wrong, even if the leader doesn’t hold you accountable, I’ll question you three, understood?”

“Yes, sir!”

Mu Dong, Cheng Feng, and Bai Dongying nodded heavily, hearing the seriousness in Xia Chuan’s tone, they couldn’t help but take it more seriously in their hearts.

Seeing Xia Chuan directly giving orders to Mu Dong and the others, a strange look flashed in Luo Yuan’s eyes.

By rights, Xia Chuan currently holds the camp officer position, and his status should be equal to Mu Dong and the others, but the actual situation is obviously not the case.

Xia Chuan’s inherent strength, plus his relationship with the leader Xia Hong, give him a natural aura of authority over others in the camp.

Especially as Xia Hong entrusts him with more and more matters, this aura becomes increasingly apparent, making him effectively Xia Hong’s spokesperson in the camp.

Not that there are any objections, whether in terms of strength or his way of handling affairs, no one is more suited or qualified than Xia Chuan to be Xia Hong’s spokesperson.

It’s mainly Luo Yuan who feels a bit jealous.

The leader is someone who values capability and efficiency and is fair in his dealings, as could be seen earlier when selecting the first batch of the Hunting Team through a public selection using wooden mannequins.

Entrusting more and more matters to Xia Chuan is partly because Xia Chuan is his own younger brother, but more importantly, it’s clearly because of the value and ability Xia Chuan has demonstrated.

Thinking back to when the camps first merged, his Basic Strength was above Xia Chuan’s, and Xia Hong advised him quite a bit, but as time went on, Xia Chuan surpassed him in Basic Strength and strength, and even started playing a bigger role in the Hunting Team.

Through this continuous process of being surpassed, whether within the Hunting Team or throughout the camp, his status was gradually being outpaced by Xia Chuan.

Now, Xia Chuan can openly give orders to Mu Dong and the others, while he remains just a minor player in the Hunting Team.

This was something proud Luo Yuan just couldn’t accept.

“I won’t say much about the people in the Hunting Team, when the leader is heading out for a hunt, I’ll inform you in advance to rest well.

Otherwise, stay with me in the mine, by the way, the leader himself might come!”

Everyone nodded, while Luo Yuan silently turned around, grabbed a Chewing Teeth Chisel from beside the wall, and headed downstairs out of the woodhouse, clearly intending to go to the mine.

“Can’t let this kid get ahead, I have to go too.”

“I’m going too, I’m going too, let’s go, hurry.”

“Don’t fight, I’m coming too.”

“Let’s all go, quickly.”

Seeing everyone anxiously grabbing their Chewing Teeth Chisels and heading to the mine, Xia Chuan displayed a hint of a smile, took a chisel himself, and followed after them.

……

“The leader breaking through to the Cold Resistance Level, needs wood?”

“Really?”

“It couldn’t be fake, I once saw it with my own eyes, once the leader touched wood, it disappeared, the leader must be able to absorb wood.”

“Not only wood, iron ore, and coal stones are all possible, I’ve seen it too.”

“The captain wouldn’t lie to us.”

“Why didn’t the leader say so earlier, if I’d known, I would’ve cut more before, I used to think it was tiring and only cut one a night.”

…

Under the notification from Cheng Feng and others, the entire camp, especially the ones in the Logging Realm, immediately knew that Xia Hong needed a massive amount of resources to break through to the Cold Resistance Level.

As Xia Chuan had previously predicted, as soon as the news spread, every Logging Realm in the camp stirred.

All the contributions Xia Hong made for the camp over the years were evident to everyone.

From the Hunting Team members in the Earth-digging Realm to ordinary children, everyone in the Great Xia Camp was filled with gratitude and reverence for Xia Hong.

This sentiment, after long-term fermentation, even gradually evolved into fanaticism.

Upon learning that Xia Hong could use wood for his breakthrough to the Cold Resistance Level, there was no need for reminders from Cheng Feng and Bai Dongying; the people from the Logging Team and the Collection Team all grabbed their saws without hesitation and headed out in batches as soon as it got dark.

Even the people from the Craftsmen Workshop and the Camp Supply Station joined them after finishing their tasks.

The Hunting Team, of course, was no different.

As soon as Xia Chuan spoke that day, everyone went to the iron ore cave on the south side of the valley.

Thirteen people working together, the constant sound of chiseling almost reached outside the mine.
