Hunting must pause. We need to set aside time just for mining.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Resources: Wood 23210 Coal 35 Iron 59 Silver 0 Gold 0】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong sighed. This past month, he’d already devoted one-third of his time solely to coal and iron mining, yet it still couldn’t keep up with consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep in mind that all the iron and coal currently in the camp are almost entirely used for preparing materials for the new wooden cabins and crafting essential tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, it’s still completely insufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, it’s not that it’s insufficient—if Luo Ming hadn’t left behind a large stockpile of coal and iron, the new cabin project wouldn’t have even gotten off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As planned, although the main structure of the new cabins will be built from Jinlin wood, significant amounts of iron will still be required for key areas, joints, and internal frameworks to ensure stability and extend their lifespan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To accommodate more people, Xia Hong set the new cabin’s dimensions to be enormous: 200 meters long, 15 meters high, and divided into three floors, making the construction difficulty and material requirements astonishingly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From planning to now, four months have passed, and we’ve only driven less than 100 meters of the total 800-meter foundation piles—this is even after I reduced my hunting trips to allocate more time for pile-driving; the timber is nearly ready, and according to Mu Dong, the required iron will be prepared in just over two months.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In other words, the biggest challenge remains the foundation piles.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong furrowed his brow; the iron needed for the new wooden cabin was only used once, and since the main structure was made of wood, the demand for iron ore wasn't high, so he managed to carve out time to mine iron ore, and with the leftover iron ore left by Luo Ming, supply was barely sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pile problem, however, is unsolvable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is the only Digging Realm cultivator in the entire camp, so only he can dig the piles; other Woodcutting Realm cultivators would need coal stones to soften the ground first, which brings up the problem of insufficient coal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that even if all materials are ready in two months, we’ll still have to wait until all the foundation piles are completed before we can begin construction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong took a deep breath and stopped overthinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the ramming chisel beside him, ready to resume mining iron ore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as he was about to strike, Xia Chuan walked into the mine with great excitement, shouting from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother, someone else just broke through!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiang…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong kept chiseling without turning his head, asking casually, “How many this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lately, someone has been breaking through into the Woodcutting Realm every night, sometimes five or six at once; the camp’s total Woodcutting Realm cultivators have already surpassed a hundred, so he’s grown somewhat numb and no longer as excited as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Seven, plus… Luo Yuan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven, added to the previous 103, brings the total Woodcutting Realm cultivators in the camp to 110.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Yuan broke through too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong instinctively calculated the total number of Woodcutting Realm cultivators, then realized Xia Chuan meant Luo Yuan had broken through—he immediately dropped the ramming chisel, turned to look at Xia Chuan, and confirmed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xia Chuan nod, Xia Hong’s face lit up with joy; without a word, he dashed out of the mine, and Xia Chuan hurried after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the smelting furnace warms the area within a hundred meters, its light is limited; considering more people are now training outside at night, the camp has accumulated excess wood, and the valley’s terrain is sufficiently concealed, Xia Hong arranged for a bonfire to be lit each night for illumination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this bonfire must be extinguished during the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xia Hong stepped out of the mine, he saw everyone gathered around the bonfire and quickly walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The leader’s here! Make way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuan pushed ahead, shouting loudly and clearing a path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong walked through the crowd and saw Luo Yuan vigorously swinging the ramming chisel at the foundation pile beneath the bonfire’s glow; with each strike, chunks of earth were excavated from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a hundred meters of foundation piles have already been driven; the section softened by the smelting furnace’s coal heat lies behind the cabin site, while Luo Yuan is digging the unsoftened end—previously, only Xia Hong could dig there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Luo Yuan can dig there too, the implication is obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witnessing Luo Yuan’s actual breakthrough into the Digging Realm, Xia Hong’s heart surged with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mu Dong, bring me the clothes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong turned happily to Mu Dong and gave instructions; seeing Luo Yuan still digging, he quickly ordered him to stop and called him over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader, from today on, you won’t have to work so hard anymore—I can help you dig the foundation piles now, hehe!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yuan, freshly broken through, was clearly overjoyed; he wiped sweat from his brow, waved his chisel at Xia Hong, his voice brimming with delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong paused momentarily, then realized why Luo Yuan had immediately started digging upon breaking through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around and noticed that while everyone’s gaze toward him was filled with reverence, there was also a hint of guilt in their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s thought, Xia Hong understood the reason and immediately felt a wave of warmth and satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this entire period, he’s led hunting expeditions, mined coal, mined ore, and dug foundation piles—all by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, his months of tireless labor, shouldering countless responsibilities for the camp’s people, haven’t been in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t get too carried away—breaking through means greater ability, and greater ability means greater responsibility. Right now, you’re just helping with mining and digging piles; once you grow stronger, I might even entrust you with hunting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yuan nodded firmly, his face glowing with eagerness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong then turned to the others and laughed, “You all feel sorry for me, huh? If you really feel sorry, get your asses back to training! Every single Woodcutting and Digging Realm cultivator—once you break through, come help me out. That’s what real concern looks like. Just standing there watching me? Useless! Get out, get out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader, I’m going to train right now—don’t kick me, don’t kick me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong’s teasing and laughter, followed by a playful kick to Yuan Cheng—who was closest and yelped in mock pain—prompted a burst of laughter from everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But despite the laughter, everyone quickly dispersed and immediately resumed their intense training, clearly taking Xia Hong’s words to heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group’s response brought a warm glow to Xia Hong’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Mu Dong brought the clothes, Xia Hong personally handed them to Luo Yuan, watching the second Digging Realm cultivator of Daya Camp after himself; for the first time in a long while, the tight tension in his heart began to ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yuan’s breakthrough not only reduces Xia Hong’s personal mining burden and greatly accelerates foundation pile construction, but also enhances hunting efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, Xia Chuan, the Zhao brothers, and Luo Yuan are nearly equal in strength; Luo Yuan’s breakthrough means the other four are close behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This means the number of Digging Realm cultivators in Daya Camp will soon match the former Luo Ge Camp’s peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of overall strength, Daya Camp has already far surpassed the peak of Luo Ge Camp—after all, Daya now has a full 110 Woodcutting Realm cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Yuan, from today on, when you’re not hunting, you’ll work with me in the mines. Once Zhao Long and Xia Chuan break through, we’ll be ready to start building the new cabins!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the excitement in Xia Hong’s voice, Luo Yuan nodded vigorously, his face filled with excitement and anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1367,"2026-06-19T20:30:15.201Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5458002a774b50545046c8b12b02b8034557a295741d91fdbef83c28c9fcaec8","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-107","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-105",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fendless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-cover.jpg"]
