Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Second Year of Great Xia, April 29, nightfall.

Since May of last year, after the Camp Supply Department began selling land, Great Xia officially entered the era of separate households, based on family units.

Initially, the price of land was high, and few could afford to buy and build their own houses, likely just high-level figures like Xia Chuan, Yuwen Dao, Yuan Cheng, and Luo Yuan. But now, a year later, the situation has naturally changed.

Centered around the main building, the three wide main roads on both sides are densely lined with houses. Apart from the exterior decorations being different, the style is basically the same, so at a glance, it looks clean, neat, and extremely orderly.

At the entrance to the Inner City, the young Xiang Liang led a large crowd, slowly passing through the iron gate into the Inner City.

"Don't push, move forward slowly!"

"There are still many people behind, come one by one, don't push."

......

Xiang Liang walked along the side of the team, maintaining order. After entering the Inner City, he saw the houses on both sides of the street, full of envy on his face, and then thought of something, saying loudly to everyone:

"These days you've come, it's not easy to enter the Inner City once, take a good look at both sides, the houses here are much better than those in the Outer City!"

Sure enough, upon hearing Xiang Liang's words, everyone turned to look at the houses in the Inner City.

At this sight, the previously noisy team instantly quieted down.

"Why are so many of these houses golden?"

"Golden Frost Wood, these houses must be made of Golden Frost Wood."

"Gasp... those houses, all of them are made of Golden Frost Wood!"

"Quick, look at that one, why is the roof covered with a layer of blue blanket?"

"What blue blanket, that's a lot of Frost Wolf Skins sewn together."

"Covering the entire roof, it's so big, how many would that have taken?"

"Beast skin is nothing, look at that one ahead, not only is the roof covered with a large piece of beast skin, but the door and windows are also made of iron."

"No, no, look over there, that house not only has iron doors and windows, but even the eaves are made of iron, and there are white Cold Beast sculptures at the eaves, carved from beast bones."

..........

In the team, exclamations echoed one after another.

Listening to these exclamations, Xiang Liang was not surprised at all.

Before taking these Beehive people into the Inner City, he had already guessed it.

Because four months ago, when he first came to the Great Xia Valley and saw these wooden houses in the Inner Valley, his reaction was not much stronger than these Beehive people.

In the past three nights, a total of fourteen thousand people had come from the Beehive, all arranged to live in three temporary wooden houses in the Outer City.

According to Xiang Liang's observations, this batch of people who had just migrated from the Beehive, in the first few days in the Outer City, had already been quite shocked.

"It seems that even as large camps, living standards can vary greatly. From the clothes and things used by these people from the Beehive, you can roughly tell. My father also said, the Beehive's Earth-digging Realm only adds up to more than seven hundred people; compared to our Great Xia, the difference is simply too vast!"

Four months ago, due to his merits in offering Cold Marrow Iron, all four of Xiang Liang's family members were relieved of corvée, and all five of them successfully became members of Great Xia.

His father, Xiang Ping, with cultivation at the Earth-digging Realm, successfully joined a low-level Hunting Team four months ago. Just relying on the contribution value his father earned in the Hunting Team, the whole family didn't lack beast meat for cultivation.

Not to mention, he himself also entered the Harvesting Department, and by relying on the income from logging, he could also maintain his cultivation expenses.

Originally, Xiang Liang was already quite satisfied with such days.

But ever since he tasted the flavor of the Beast Essence Pill and salt; discovered the existence of the Martial Arts Academy; knew that the current youngest person in Great Xia to reach the Earth-digging Realm was a person named Hong Shaokang, fifteen years and one month old.

After learning all this, Xiang Liang's thoughts suddenly changed completely.

He was about to turn seventeen this year, with Basic Strength only at 5900 pounds. According to his current progress, he calculated that it would take him at least until he was nineteen or even twenty to break through to the Earth-digging Realm.

Not to mention comparing with Hong Shaokang, Xiang Liang observed that the young people currently breaking through to the Earth-digging Realm in the camp could roughly be divided into three tiers: those below sixteen years old, those below seventeen, and those below eighteen.

In other words, if he followed the routine, his aptitude wouldn't even reach the third tier in the camp.

This was extremely hard for the self-proclaimed exceptional Xiang Liang to accept.

Therefore, he must find a way to earn more contribution value to exchange for resources to enhance cultivation speed, so he could reach the Earth-digging Realm as soon as possible.

But the problem was, he only had cultivation at the Logging Realm, and relying solely on logging and gathering every night couldn't earn him much contribution value. Salt, aged wine, Beast Essence Pills, and the cultivation quota from the Martial Arts Academy, these highly sought-after resources, he would have to save for a long time to exchange for even once.

Nine days ago, when the Minister transferred a large number of people to Longyou, Xiang Liang noticed the Camp Supply Department was short on people and immediately volunteered to help, unexpectedly managing to get in by chance.

For three consecutive nights, the more than ten thousand people coming from the Beehive needed to be accommodated and arranged by people from the Camp Supply Department, and Xiang Liang happened to be one of them. Right now, following him was a team of about five hundred people for which he was specifically responsible.

Accommodating newcomers into the camp is not just about providing them with temporary housing. It involves explaining all the regulations of Great Xia, including contribution value, and all matters needing attention within the camp to them.

In short, it's about integrating these newcomers from the Beehive into Great Xia as quickly as possible, enabling them to return to a normal hunting and gathering lifestyle.
