Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely-Chapter 328 - 174: Integration, Revealing Yang, Struggle of the Director

First Year of the Great Xia, March 21

In front of the valley, two temporary wooden huts stood tall.

At the original site of the wooden building, the outline of a new structure was gradually taking shape as thousands of people carried timber and iron components in and out.

"Bring five iron stakes over here!"

"Four wooden dowels at the corner, and bring a big iron hammer as well."

"We need a beast skin tarp here, go to the Camp Supply Department and get one."

"I’ll go get it right now."

......

The construction noises were bustling, Mu Dong led the people of the Craftsmen Department, moving through various parts of the site, allocating simple tasks to others while personally overseeing crucial parts. He, who was only supposed to guide the reconstruction as the Director, turned out to be the busiest person on site.

Seeing the Director working so diligently, the others naturally felt more enthusiastic, leading to visible progress in the new wooden building’s reconstruction.

Behind the new building being constructed by everyone, there were also two conspicuous structures.

The two buildings had essentially the same external design, both square, with sides measuring twenty meters, and a layer of mysterious fire cloud pattern covering the exterior walls.

The only difference was that the left building had the character "Martial" on its door, while the right one had the character "Forging."

The people building the wooden huts couldn’t help but feel excited and fervent whenever their eyes fell upon those two structures, with a strong sense of longing in their gaze.

"Do you think our new leader is actually a Divine?"

"Definitely, with just a wave of the hand, two buildings appeared. I’ve never seen anyone with such an ability before."

"Lord Minister said that a day of training in the Martial Arts Hall equals three days outside. Do you think it’s true?"

"It should be true. Didn’t you see how those people from Great Xia went crazy last night? Even at 50 Contribution Points a day, they were rushing in. Yuwen Sizheng, Hong Guang, and over forty lords were all invited in for an experience. They’ve been inside all day. If it were fake, they wouldn’t stay in there for so long."

"Increasing cultivation speed is incredible. I have to quickly earn Contribution Points, no matter what I must go in to train. I’m just over a thousand pounds of strength away from reaching the Earth-digging Realm."

"Same here, as long as I can train inside, I’ll soon breakthrough."

"But those Contribution Values are hard to earn. Constructing the wooden building only gives 10 points a day, enough for trading beast meat, but swapping for anything else is difficult."

"Be content! Previously at the Mirror Immortal Camp, we didn’t even get much in a month. According to Great Xia’s current rules, we could at least exchange for twenty pounds a day now, which was unthinkable before."

"You still find it hard to earn, do you know why most of the spots for building the wooden building were given to us?"

On the east side of the wooden building, Hong Yu placed an iron component on the ground and interjected upon hearing the discussion among several people from the Logging Realm.

The group seemed well-acquainted with him and looked at him with curiosity as soon as they heard his voice.

Indeed, of the over a thousand people involved in building the wooden building from the Logging Realm, ninety percent were those who joined later from the Mirror Immortal group, some with misunderstandings thought Great Xia saw them as mere laborers.

"Out of the Six Ministries of Great Xia, the Logging Realm can only enter four, with the least number of people in the Camp Supply and Craftsmen Departments, most won’t get in. So, like me, you must have joined either the Gathering Department or the Logging Department, right?"

The group nodded upon hearing this. The Camp Supply Department needed very few people, and entry was impossible unless they actively recruited; the Craftsmen Department had even stricter requirements, needing Mu Dong’s personal certification of crafting talent.

Therefore, as Hong Yu said, the vast majority of the Logging Realm people from the Mirror Immortal sector could only join the Gathering and Logging Departments.

And it wasn’t just them; the same applied to the Logging Realm of Great Xia.

Seeing the group nod, Hong Yu continued, "Whether gathering or logging, unless a special situation arises, like discovering some unique medicinal material or useful new tree species for the camp, otherwise, for regular Logging Realm people, calculate it yourself, how many points can you earn in one night?"

Hong Yu’s question left them all stunned.

Special situations aside, their most stable way to earn Contribution Values is actually chopping down trees.

After the gathering competition ended, timber conversion resumed normalcy, 2,000 pounds of Golden Frost Tree for 1 point, and 4,000 pounds of Vermilion Frost for 1 point. Around the outskirts of Redwood Ridge, the most common trees were these two kinds.

For the Logging Realm, bringing back three trees a night was pretty much the limit, with each tree weighing about five to six thousand pounds. Even if they chopped all Golden Frost Trees, at most they’d earn 7 to 8 Contribution Points a night.

Realizing this, they all suddenly understood.

Hong Yu then spoke again, solemnly, "Lord Minister probably knows we came here with almost no Contribution Values, fearing we wouldn’t even be able to exchange for beast meat, which is why all the spots were given to us."

"But that’s not right, Hong Yu, I see that almost every Logging Realm person in Great Xia is dressed in a complete set of clothes. How did they get their Contribution Points?"

After coming to Great Xia last night, the first thing these Logging Realm people inquired about was the price of clothes. They all knew that it takes 155 Contribution Points to exchange for a complete set. If it were as difficult to earn Contribution Points as Hong Yu said, it would be impossible for Great Xia to have widespread clothing.

Hearing the question from everyone, Hong Yu pondered slightly.

It’s no wonder these Logging Realm people cared about the price of clothes. Although the Mirror Immortal Camp was previously stronger than Great Xia, the prevalence of clothing wasn’t as high as in Great Xia.
