Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Second Year of Great Xia, May 20

Wushuang Giant Stone Camp, Top Floor Hall of the Main Building

Xia Chuan sat at the head seat, smiling as if waiting for something.

"Greetings, Minister."

"Greetings, Minister."

Soon, Chen Yingba and Wu Tianxing came in from outside the door, their faces immediately showing some delight. They each greeted Xia Chuan and then sat down below.

"How is it, the taste of the Yangyuan Pill, not bad, right?"

Seeing the delight on their faces, and considering their two days of seclusion earlier, Xia Chuan immediately guessed that both had already taken the Yangyuan Pill each had in hand, so he teasingly remarked.

Qiu Peng sent over four Yangyuan Pills on the tenth of May, but at that time only he and Zhao Long dared to consume them. Chen Yingba and Wu Tianxing were obviously a bit uneasy about the Dan Medicine bestowed by Great Xia, so they didn't dare to take it.

Until three days ago, when Qiu Peng came again, bringing a handwritten note from Chen Yingyuan and letters from Wu Tianxing's family, only then did the two completely set their minds at ease.

Detecting Xia Chuan's teasing tone, Chen and Wu showed some unease on their faces but quickly returned to delight and answered one after another.

Chen Yingba: "The effect of this Yangyuan Pill is too potent, at least three times that of the Jade Bone Medicine. With such a Divine Pill given by the leader, I, Chen, will henceforth, along with my big brother, follow the leader's commands."

Wu Tianxing: "With the leader's grace of bestowing the pill, I, Wu, have nothing to repay. In the future, no matter how difficult, I will follow the leader's orders without hesitation!"

Hearing their words, Xia Chuan just nodded slightly and smiled without speaking.

Their declaration was actually of little importance.

Chen Yingba was clearly following Chen Yingyuan. According to Qiu Peng's description, both Chen Yingyuan and Peng Bo had already opened their hearts to Xia Hong. Therefore, whether they declared or not was actually irrelevant.

As for Wu Tianxing, it's even more apparent, his entire family is in Xia City, making it impossible for him to have second thoughts.

The factors that prompted these two to make such declarations were the news about Xia City brought by Qiu Peng, and possibly the shock brought by the Yangyuan Pill.

To make those like Chen Yingba and Wu Tianxing, at the Cold Resistance Level, truly loyal to Great Xia, in the end, it still requires offering benefits that captivate them.

This Yangyuan Pill is undoubtedly one of them.

Xia Chuan understood very well why his big brother specifically had Qiu Peng deliver the Yangyuan Pills.

But today, calling these two was for another matter.

"There are only ten days left before the martial competition officially starts. Both Wushuang and Hanqiong posts don't have many people. Currently, there's no one in charge at the Beehive post. I plan to send you two there to work with Hong Tian to oversee the martial competition at the Beehive. How about it?"

There are no ordinary people left at the three posts in Longyou; all remaining are in the Logging Realm and Earth-digging Realm. Since the Beehive is a relay point between Longyou and Redwood Ridge, it gathers the most in Earth-digging and Logging Realms, so naturally the martial competition requires more people to manage.

Wushuang and Hanqiong still have defense duties, so Xia Chuan took Hong Tian from Hanqiong's group of four, and took Chen Yingba and Wu Tianxing from his side to let the three of them be responsible for the martial competition at the Beehive.

"No problem!"

"But Minister, when will the martial competition for our Cold Resistance Level start?"

Wu Tianxing immediately agreed, and Chen Yingba also nodded, but he thought of something and asked.

When Qiu Peng first delivered the Yangyuan Pills, he had already told them the rewards for the Cold Resistance Level martial competition group. After taking the Yangyuan Pill, they clearly started to pay more attention to the martial competition.

Indeed, just one match could earn a Yangyuan Pill.

Even Xi Chuan himself was quite tempted by the rewards of the martial competition!

After sorting this out, Xia Chuan smiled and said: "The Cold Resistance Level martial competition will be personally overseen by the leader. It will start after the Logging Realm and Earth-digging Realm groups conclude. Rest assured, you will be informed once it starts."

Both bowed and nodded, looking very pleased.

Remembering what Qiu Peng had previously said about the martial competition rules, Chen Yingba looked incredibly excited.

"With my strength about six manes, even if the top three is out of reach, as long as I don't encounter the Minister, Yuwen Dao, Peng Bo, or my big brother, getting past two rounds shouldn't be a big problem. If lucky, I could at most get three Yangyuan Pills!"

Wu Tianxing had a similar expression; clearly, both had thought of the same thing.

"Time is of the essence. You two should set off for the Beehive now. You know the competition rules for the Logging and Earth-digging Realm groups. Follow the rules, and return to Wushuang when it's over."

"Yes, we will take our leave!"

Both got up, saluted Xia Chuan, and left the hall directly.

Just after Chen and Wu left, Zhao Long came in with excitement.

"Sir, the supplies from Long Mountain have been unloaded!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan immediately perked up and asked:

"This is the third batch. How much is there?"

"1 million catties of Beast Meat, 5 million catties of Iron Ore, 10 million catties of coal. Together with the first two batches, all the supplies that Long Mountain had promised have been fully delivered."

"Hahaha, good, truly the overlord of Longyou. Li Xuanling is much more straightforward than Hou Hu. Next time Long Mountain requests Solidified Fire Oil, we can sell a bit more."

Xia Chuan's face was all smiles. He had been waiting for Zhao Long in the main hall and arranging for Chen and Wu to be in charge of the Beehive martial competition was just a side task.

"This time Long Mountain sent Zhou Yuan and Meng Ying, a total of ten large carts, with two hundred Earth-digging Realm pushing the carts along. I heard it took four days – tsk tsk..."

Zhao Long's tone was somewhat sighing, clearly shocked by the sight of those carts loaded with goods.

Xia Chuan laughed: "This batch of supplies, just in weight, is 16 million catties. I remember the first batch arrived on the eighth of May, with 1 million catties of Beast Meat, 10 million catties of Iron Ore, and 20 million catties of coal stone. A total of 31 million catties of goods took ten days to deliver. This batch is half the weight, taking a little more than half the time makes sense."
