You actually came back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She excitedly flew over, and everyone began communicating as if having survived a catastrophe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Dazhuang was also holding a hammer, coming up to Cao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord, the bonfire has successfully upgraded, and your Lord’s Hut is speeding up its upgrade process.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing nodded and looked toward the campfire burning brightly in the center of the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Camp Fire: Level 5]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Bonfire Effect: Can increase the temperature by 10~20°C within a 160-meter radius]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Consumption]: 10 minutes\u002F4 Wood or 25 minutes\u002F2 Coal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Materials needed for the next level]: Stone*60, Wood*40, Iron*20.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the blaze of the fire, the surrounding snow-covered ground gradually revealed itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only on these grounds could more buildings be constructed and various crops planted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the level of the bonfire determined the territory’s area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, once the campfire upgraded to an Energy Tower later, its heating range could cover a city’s area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the survivors continually built various buildings, developing the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, they might even own a city of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction and said, “Dazhuang, you’ve done well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next, take Wuzhuang and Liuzhuang to continue gathering resources.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Focus on collecting that coal mine—after the bonfire’s upgrade, it will consume a lot of coal, and we need to ensure the camp’s heating supply.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Polar People Dazhuang instantly stood upright, respectfully saying, “Yes, esteemed Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he hurried off to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing called Erzhuang over, “Erzhuang, take Qizhuang and Bazhuang and hurry to build more [Small Shelters], [Cafeteria], and so on, striving to complete them before dark.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ensure our new members have a place to eat and sleep.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Erzhuang also received the order and went off to work with the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing continued to give orders, “Sanzhuang, come over here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Threebeard-faced Sanzhuang approached Cao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sanzhuang, you don’t need to build too many things, just construct a [Basic Elemental Arrow Tower] with Sizhuang before nightfall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanzhuang respectfully said, “I assure you the task will be completed, esteemed Lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, those Polar People were again busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the newly joined humans had also ended their conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Polar People working in the camp, the slightly older Cao Yi’s eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Yi hurriedly led the other survivors over and respectfully said, “Lord, please assign us more tasks as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing nodded, “No rush, I know you haven’t eaten in several days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fill your stomachs before work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly joined subjects exchanged glances, each seeing surprise and relief in the other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed it was the first time they encountered such a caring Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing continued, “But there’s no cafeteria now, so eat some bread for now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing glanced at Liu Muxue nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue understood and took out several dozen pieces of bread from the territory resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She distributed two pieces to each new member of the territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Cao Yi and Sihua looked at the bread in their hands, tears welling up in their eyes, feeling deeply touched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they all knelt down in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, kind and generous Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, beautiful and kind Second Lord!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, numerous system prompts appeared in the ears of Cao Xing and Liu Muxue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Due to your generous donation, the loyalty of territory member ‘Cao Yi’ has increased, current loyalty 80]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Due to your generous donation, the loyalty of territory member ‘Sihua’ has increased, current loyalty 78]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Due to your…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this wave, all the newly joined refugees increased their loyalty by 5~10 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby, Tong Chuchu and Xia Yanni looked at the White Bread in the hands of the subjects, swallowing with hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been starving for a while, equally eager for food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing took out four pieces of bread from the territory resources and handed them to Xia Yanni.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eat something first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tall woman bent slightly, reaching out to take the bread, gratefully saying, “Thank you… thank you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Tong Chuchu wore an innocent smile and said, “Thank you, big brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After they finished the bread, everyone’s satiety level increased a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Cao Xing calmly said, “Cao Yi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Yi immediately responded, “My Lord, I am here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing: “From now on, you will take command of this group you brought.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your next task is to continue upgrading the bonfire and collecting resources.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wood, Stone, all need to be gathered, and with more manpower available, assist Dazhuang in constructing some basic buildings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Yi quickly nodded, “I understand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Cao Xing looked at Dahua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dahua, I’ll give you these wheat seeds; take someone and find a place near the territory to cultivate land, then plant these wheat seeds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold white-skinned Dahua took the seeds from Cao Xing’s hands, gently stroking them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These are top-quality wheat seeds, sure to grow into high-quality wheat…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded, “Lord, I will complete the task you entrusted to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, this group of new territory residents began to get busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the territory brimming with activity, Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His territory had grown from a small bonfire to hosting so many subjects, constructing more and more buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the joy of farming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1253,"2026-05-28T19:24:00.280Z","2026-06-01T04:28:50.701Z",1,"novelbin.me","89ee2dfb3fd84b5f36ef1202decb339132816ed5cc00131494607751a82e4cfc","apocalypse-descent-farming-with-my-harem-chapter-32","apocalypse-descent-farming-with-my-harem-chapter-30",1544,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-descent-farming-with-my-harem-cover.jpg"]
