Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 448: Chapter 208: Great Xia Sacred Pattern, Building Upgrades (Part 2)

The crowd quickly turned their heads to see that at the center of the two people’s foreheads, a cloud pattern identical to Xia Hong’s had appeared.

No, the color of the cloud pattern on these two was noticeably much lighter.

What was going on?

Everyone’s eyes were filled with astonishment, curiously turning to look upwards at Xia Hong.

At this moment, Xia Hong was staring at the upgraded Fiery Sun Tripod, his heart full of excitement.

[Cold Ruins Tripod (Level 4): Can substantially increase the temperature within a five-kilometer radius using coal, eradicate beginner deceitful monsters, deter intermediate and advanced deceitful monsters, highly attractive to Cold Beasts, and can consume coal resources for smelting ironware.]

[Special Function: For every 100 units of wood resources burned, a small torch can be generated, capable of harming advanced deceitful monsters, burning for one hour;

For every 400 units of wood burned, one portion of Solidified Fire Oil can be generated, harmless to humans but igniting upon contact with deceitful monsters, with substantial lethal power;

All personnel within the camp can be modified by the Cold Ruins Tripod to acquire a latent Great Xia Sacred Pattern bloodline, with the host as the Bloodline Ancestor.

[Upgrade Conditions: 10 million coal, 50 million iron, 10 thousand silver]

Xia Hong directly ignored the final harsh upgrade condition, touching the vertical cloud pattern on his forehead with curiosity and anticipation in his eyes.

Great Xia Sacred Pattern?

Bloodline?

The system didn’t provide a description of this bloodline. With his current power, he couldn’t directly perceive the specific effects of this Sacred Pattern.

He turned his head to look at Xia Chuan and Yuwen Dao in the main hall and saw that they were also in bewilderment, immediately dispelling the thought of asking them.

Since he didn’t know, these two certainly didn’t either.

Since it’s a bloodline, it must be useful.

The key is that this bloodline can cover the entire camp, meaning that as long as people from Great Xia live within the radiation range of the Cold Ruins Tripod for a long time, they can automatically acquire this bloodline.

That’s terrifying!

20 million wood, 10 million coal, 50 million iron, this expenditure is definitely worth it.

Xia Hong turned his head, looking at the astonished crowd below, pointing to the Sacred Pattern on his forehead with a smile, and explained: “No need to worry, this Sacred Pattern, in the future, everyone from the Great Xia camp will grow it, as for its purpose, you will have to explore it together with me slowly!”

Everyone from Great Xia will grow it?

The people in the main hall were momentarily stunned, exchanging glances and then looking at Xia Hong, Xia Chuan, and Yuwen Dao. Though their expressions were somewhat skeptical, they also had some hidden anticipation.

With the upgrade of the Cold Ruins Tripod complete, next is…

Martial Arts Hall (Level 3)

Upgrade Conditions: 500,000 wood, 400,000 coal, 600,000 iron, 2,000 silver

Forge (Level 2)

Upgrade Conditions: 100,000 wood, 200,000 coal, 600,000 iron

Medicine Workshop (Level 2)

Upgrade Conditions: 200,000 wood, 200,000 coal, 400,000 iron, 20 synthesis formulas

Noteboard (Level 2)

Upgrade Conditions: 80,000 coal, 60,000 iron

Green Bamboo Fence (Level 1)

Upgrade Conditions: 100,000 coal, 100,000 iron (exchange after upgrade required)

Great Xia has not yet obtained silver mine resources, so the Martial Arts Hall is out of the question, and although there are enough resources to upgrade the Medicine Workshop, there are only 18 synthesis formulas available right now, so it’s not feasible.

That means the buildings that can currently be upgraded are the Forge, the Noteboard, and the Green Bamboo Fence. The upgrade resources for these three add up to 100,000 wood, 380,000 coal, and 760,000 iron.

[Resources: 2.1 million wood, 3.14 million coal, 1.96 million iron, 0 silver, 0 gold]

The system resources were more than sufficient, and Xia Hong did not hesitate any longer, proceeding directly with the upgrades.

…

Artifact Refining Workshop (Level 3): A place for crafting tools, capable of crafting weapons from Ten Forged to Ten Thousand Forged as well as silver-crafted weapons. After upgrade, fifty furnaces can be refined simultaneously.

Special Function: A 1% chance to craft a weapon with Beast Suppressing Attribute; can identify and differentiate various intention artifact refining materials; and has a chance to synthesize new materials.

Upgrade Conditions: 2 million coal, 3 million iron, 5,000 silver

…

Heroic Spirit Monument (Level 3): The primary monument, a demarcation building, with a farthest radiation distance of ten kilometers.

Special Function 1: Allows the exchange of four subsidiary monuments, establishing a settlement region with the primary monument. The exchange price for a subsidiary monument is 60,000 coal and 45,000 iron.

Special Function 2: Within the settlement region, any activity trajectory of external life forms will be detected and reported back to the primary monument.

Special Function 3: The spirits of those who died in battle can be entrusted to this monument, and once a certain scale is reached, they can protect the living residents of the camp.

Upgrade Conditions: 800,000 coal, 600,000 iron, 3,000 silver

…

Black Soil Wall (Level 2): Defensive station material

Special Function 1: Extremely tough, capable of withstand the impact of intermediate Cold Beasts.

Special Function 2: Can slowly regenerate by consuming wood and iron resources.

Pre-upgrade condition: exchange for a full 50,000 meters

Exchange cost: 100 wood per meter, 20 iron

……

Looking at the three upgraded buildings, Xia Hong had mixed feelings of joy and concern on his face.

The joy was because, like the Cold Ruins Tripod, the upgraded buildings had incredibly strong capabilities, significantly enhancing the current strength of Great Xia.

When the polishing hammer was initially introduced, the building description indicated the ability to forge weapons with Beast Suppressing Attributes. Still, whether it was Xia Hong’s bad luck or Great Xia’s misfortune, not a single one had been made since upgrading to the Forge.

Now, with the upgrade to the Artifact Refining Workshop, there is a direct 1% chance, guaranteeing that out of every hundred weapons crafted, one will undoubtedly have a Beast Suppressing Attribute.

There’s no need to mention the Heroic Spirit Monument, the spirits of the fallen entrusting it, capable of protecting the living residents of the camp once a certain scale is reached. Just thinking about this feature feels immensely powerful!

As for the final Black Soil Wall, although it lost the active attack function of the Green Bamboo Fence, its ability to withstand the impact of intermediate Cold Beasts alone makes it superior to the Green Bamboo Fence.
