Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 766: Chapter 307: Silver Mine News, Mutinies Abound

”Long Mountain doesn’t have a silver mine, how is that possible?”

In the warehouse on the west side of the Long Mountain Camp, Xia Hong held an account book in his hand, looking at Peng Bo with a face full of shock.

Seeing the shock on Xia Hong’s face, Peng Bo was stunned for a moment but quickly realized that Xia Hong must have misunderstood something. He nodded and explained, ”Leader, silver mines are extremely rare, so it’s normal for Long Mountain not to have one.”

”Without a silver mine, where did Li Xuanling’s sword, this Yanhan, and the silver used by Long Mountain to save people during the Dewdrop Plague outbreak come from?”

Xia Hong specifically showcased the silver Ghost Head Great Saber at his waist. It was Li Tiancheng’s saber named Yanhan, and after Li Tiancheng laid down his weapons and surrendered, the Yanhan Blade naturally ended up in his hands.

Not just the Yanhan Blade, he had seen many silver weapons in Longyou: Hou Hu’s silver Coiled Dragon Pattern Long Stick, Li Xuanling’s silver Longsword, Hou Tong’s silver Eight-sided Giant Hammer...

Without a silver mine, where did these weapons all come from?

”You don’t think this Yanhan Blade is made of pure silver, do you?”

Xia Hong’s expression froze, his face full of confusion.

”This Yanhan Blade weighs at least twenty thousand pounds. If it were made of pure silver, it would probably empty out the entire Long Mountain. It is silver-clad iron, with Ten Thousand Forging Level iron as the main material, just wrapped with a layer of silver outside.

Of course, even the layer of silver isn’t light. I heard from the people of Long Mountain before that the silver layer on the Yanhan Blade weighs over five hundred pounds, making it the second most precious weapon in the entire Longyou.”

”The most precious is Li Xuanling’s sword?”

”That’s right, Li Xuanling’s Heavenly Transformation Sword is wrapped in silver, said to weigh over eight hundred pounds. In the entire Longyou, there isn’t a better weapon than it.”

The main material is Ten Thousand Forged Iron, just wrapped with a layer of silver...

Xia Hong looked at the Yanhan Blade in his hand, his brow slightly furrowed.

He could understand the practice of wrapping weapons in silver. Not to mention its restraining effect on Deceitful Monsters, compared to iron, silver is much higher not only in toughness but also in hardness. Its melting point is also higher, and its structure is obviously more stable. Wrapping it outside the weapon makes it not only sharper but also less prone to wear and tear, significantly enhancing its durability.

”Without a silver mine, where did all this silver come from?”

”Li Tianhua!”

Xia Hong had a rough idea of the source but continued to listen to Peng Bo.

”Li Tianhua is the only one across Longyou who can traverse Long Mountain. Li Xuanling’s Heavenly Transformation Sword, this Yanhan Blade, Hou Hu’s Coiled Dragon Pattern Long Stick, and even the silver stored in Long Mountain were all brought by him.”

Seeing the confusion on Xia Hong’s face, Peng Bo knew he was curious about something and quickly said, ”Where Li Tianhua got it, the subordinates don’t know, and I guess even the Li Family doesn’t necessarily know.”

Silver in stock: 1215 pounds

Xia Hong looked at the amount of silver recorded in Long Mountain’s inventory, with eyebrows tightly furrowed, unable to speak for a long time.

Silver can only be converted into system resource points at 5 pounds per point, which means the silver inventory of Long Mountain can only be turned into 243 points. Among the nine system buildings, apart from the Black Soil Wall and Yellow Earth, all the other seven upgrades require silver, with the lowest English Spirit Monument requiring 3000 points, equivalent to 15000 pounds of silver.

This little silver doesn’t even need to be converted.

It seems like I still have to rely on myself to find a silver mine. Without finding a silver mine, all buildings can only be upgraded to level 3, and even the small wooden table and rough iron chain can’t be unlocked.

Xia Hong took a slight breath and flipped through the account book carefully. No matter how surprising the figures of the iron, coal, beast meat, beast skin, beast blood, and other resources in Long Mountain’s inventory were, he lost interest.

Regarding the collapse of Long Mountain, the former overlord, Peng Bo’s reaction was noticeably excited. He hadn’t noticed Xia Hong’s lack of interest as he excitedly said from the side, ”Long Mountain was too rich. Just the iron mines had 12, with 5 not yet being excavated, coal mines had 21...”

Xia Hong didn’t interrupt him. Defeating Long Mountain indeed meant a lot to the old people of Longyou. Peng Bo’s excitement was understandable. Not just Peng Bo, last night he saw Hou Jing, Dong Zhong, Yu Bin, Wu Ningyuan, and other Cold Resistance Levels in Longyou had strong reactions as well, obviously harboring long-time grievances against Long Mountain.

After Peng Bo had finished talking about all the important industries of Long Mountain, he finally noticed Xia Hong’s gloomy face, realized it was about the silver mine earlier, and said with a strange expression, ”Not to mention finding it, even if we find one, it’s very difficult to use manpower for mining. Doesn’t the leader know this?”

Xia Hong’s expression froze, immediately asking, ”What’s going on?”

Seeing Xia Hong’s reaction, Peng Bo realized instantly that his leader, though powerful, was only in his early twenties. Besides, the rise of the Great Xia Camp has only been less than two years now. Not to mention silver mines, it’s indeed normal that Xia Hong doesn’t know about many other things.

”The leader knows Zhu Yinhua, right?”

Zhu Yinhua is one of the eleven herbs used in concocting Jade Bone Medicine, and nowadays in Great Xia is one of the four main herbs required for refining Yangyuan Pill, also a main herb for refining Sun Resistance Pill. Xia Hong certainly knows this.

But he quickly remembered something, then realized why Peng Bo was asking him about it.

Zhu Yinhua usually grows in two places: either near silver mines or in places where rodents gather; while the methods for concocting Jade Bone Medicine in Longyou were backward, they had a fixed demand for Zhu Yinhua, so they certainly gathered a lot, and having harvested it, they might very well know where the silver mines are.
