How did this number keep growing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yuan, who was outside the wooden hut training the reserve recruits in fist drills, saw the hunting team carrying three game animals from afar, his face filled with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunting team no longer needed Xia Hong to lead them personally as long as they stayed within five hundred meters of Redwood Ridge—he was still recovering from his injuries—so now only Xia Chuan and four other Digging Realm cultivators, plus the original eight Logging Realm members, went out together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past half-month, Xia Chuan had already gone out four times, but each time he brought back only one or two game animals; tonight, he returned with three at once, clearly his hunting skills had become far more refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luo Yuan spoke, the young reserve recruits who had not yet broken through to the Logging Realm stopped their drills and turned to look at the hunting team, their eyes brimming with envy and admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the hunting team members, hearing Luo Yuan’s praise, all lowered their heads and chuckled softly, instinctively glancing sideways at Huang Yong and Li Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who told you to stop? Get back to training! You’ve all been stuck for so long without breaking into Logging Realm—still trying to slack off? You’re wasting the Cold Beast meat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yuan didn’t notice the subtle movements of the group; seeing the recruits had stopped, he immediately turned and barked at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh… Ha……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the adults in the camp had now broken through; the reserve recruits were mostly children in their teens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yuan’s stern attitude clearly worked—they immediately resumed their punches, one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Yuan, go easy on them. Don’t break these kids.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha, don’t worry. Train them hard. These brats ate Cold Beast meat—they’ve got energy to burn. If you don’t train them, they’ll never amount to anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boys, your Brother Luo hasn’t been able to go hunting lately, so he’s got no contribution points—his temper’s been building. Don’t provoke him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahahaha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunting team members, seeing this, began teasing each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Yuan Cheng mock him, Luo Yuan couldn’t help but laugh in reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go to hell, Yuan Cheng. I’ve got three or four thousand contribution points on my account—you’d need to go out ten more times to catch up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not necessarily. I already have over a thousand. Tonight’s two Snowmane and one Golden Sheep—I’ll get nearly a hundred points at least. I’ll break two thousand soon. Just wait—I’ll surpass you in a snap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough chatting. Go to the Supply Office and turn in the game.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the group getting more and more animated, with no sign of stopping, Xia Chuan couldn’t help but interrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exchange between Luo Yuan and Yuan Cheng was a microcosm of the camp’s current obsession with contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Dong’s workshop, with its craftsmen constantly innovating, had produced an ever-growing variety of wooden and leather tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the recent addition of over a hundred bows and arrows, which greatly tempted both Logging Realm and Digging Realm cultivators. Everyone could foresee that as the camp’s coal and iron resources grew, the Supply Office would soon produce even more weapons and iron tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these items required contribution points to exchange for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contribution points were wealth in themselves, and they quantified each person’s contribution to the camp—so naturally, people began secretly competing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This competition raised the enthusiasm for Logging Realm and Digging Realm members to go out, fueling their drive to gather resources for the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuan was delighted by this atmosphere—wasn’t this exactly what he had intended when designing the contribution point system?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the second floor of the wooden hut, after turning in the game and registering everyone’s contribution points, the others gradually left, but Xia Chuan stayed behind, looking up at the third floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has the leader come down today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ping, who handled registration at the Supply Office, shook his head in reply: “No. But when I brought the Cold Beast meat up today, the leader was practicing fist drills—I could hear the sounds. His leg injury must be fully healed. He’s not coming down because he wants to train longer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuan nodded and murmured: “That’s good. He usually leads us out hunting and manages so many camp affairs—he never has time to train properly. This injury gives him a chance to focus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ping nodded in agreement, gazing up at the third floor with a look of deep respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ping was one of the ninety-six Logging Realm archers. That night, when they successfully drove off the Rodent Swarm, Xia Hong had been the decisive factor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Xia Hong’s personal kills—just his calm, intelligent maneuvering to force the Rodent King to reveal itself was enough to make him the top contributor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having such a leader in Great Xia was the greatest fortune for him and everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the fifteen who appeared that night, the Mirror Immortal Camp must be strong. The leader must be under pressure. Ultimately, it’s still our weakness—we can’t share his burdens. If only we had more Digging Realm cultivators, the leader wouldn’t be so exhausted!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yuan had walked upstairs without anyone noticing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuan’s brow darkened slightly: “The Mirror Immortal Camp is indeed strong, but that’s no excuse for their arrogance. If they took the Arrow Bamboo Grove, fine—as long as they don’t cross the boundary, we can coexist peacefully. But if they dare trespass into Redwood Ridge, then we’ll just…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Fight them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice from upstairs cut Xia Chuan off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recognizing Xia Hong’s voice, the three immediately looked up, faces lighting up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong wore a thick fur cloak and black leather boots newly made by Mu Dong. He strode toward them with powerful, commanding steps, a smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first sight of Xia Hong made all three pause slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t his attire, nor the fact his leg injury was healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main thing was the faint, almost imperceptible aura of blood qi radiating around Xia Hong—as if his internal blood and qi were overflowing, his movements exuding immense power. As he drew near, the three felt a strong pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, have you reached the thirty-thousand-jin limit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yuan’s face instantly lit up with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not yet—but I’m less than three thousand jin away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than three thousand jin away meant over twenty-seven thousand jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan both showed shock on their faces;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ping, still not yet broken into Digging Realm, expressed deep admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader, your progress is too fast. I’ve been in Digging Realm for over two months, and my strength is only fourteen thousand jin—averaging just over a thousand jin per month.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Luo Yuan spoke, Xia Chuan nodded in agreement: “I’m about the same. At this rate, it’ll take me over a year to reach the thirty-thousand-jin limit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>=9+ Shu _ Ba\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong directly shook his head, dismissing Xia Chuan’s estimate: “It won’t take that long. I broke into Digging Realm about eight months ago. My early growth rate was actually similar to yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your bodies have now developed resistance to the three kinds of Cold Beast meat from Snowmane—your gains have slowed. Switch to Tengjiao and Rodent meat. Just switch now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan both shook their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader, save the Tengjiao and Rodent meat for you first. Our gains are still rising—we’ll use them once we have more stock.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Luo Yuan spoke, Xia Hong understood their concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, to make bows, Xia Hong had hunted many Tengjiao, and with the eighty-three Rodents recently captured, the camp now had roughly thirty thousand jin of Tengjiao and Rodent meat stored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty thousand jin seemed like a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was, he used a lot too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He consumed fifty jin per day. Counting from the first time he obtained Rodent meat until now, roughly forty days had passed—meaning he alone had consumed over two thousand jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Rodent Swarm had fled; they couldn’t hunt Rodents anytime soon. Without him leading, they couldn’t hunt Tengjiao either. So Xia Chuan and Luo Yuan’s intention was clearly to reserve these two types of Cold Beast meat for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need. I don’t need that much right now. Just set aside fifteen hundred jin per month for me. The rest, open for everyone to exchange—but set the price higher than for the three Snowmane types.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold Beast meat was no longer a scarce resource for Great Xia—even Tengjiao and Rodent meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If needed, he could lead hunting parties himself. Rodents were hard to find, but Tengjiao were easy—and yielded large amounts of meat. Just catching a few occasionally would last a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for pricing, it was simple: Tengjiao and Rodent meat were harder to hunt than the three Snowmane types—they were advanced Cold Beast meat. Higher contribution point costs were perfectly reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Chuan’s main duty now, besides leading hunts, was managing the Supply Office’s inventory—including contribution point prices. He immediately grasped Xia Hong’s suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Leader, I’ve got good news I haven’t told you yet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What good news?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xia Chuan’s deliberately mysterious expression, Xia Hong’s interest sparked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Luo Yuan—who clearly didn’t know—turned to look at him too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huang Yong and Li Yun have both broken into Digging Realm. And I hear Hong Gang, Li Pingkai, Ying Xuan, and Yue Feng are all close to breaking through—probably within ten days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Xia Hong’s eyes instantly brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Yuan’s mouth dropped open. Recalling tonight’s three game animals and the hunting team’s behavior upon returning, he finally understood, shaking his head with a wry laugh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s why you brought back so much tonight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two more Digging Realm cultivators, and four more expected to break through within ten days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—it wouldn’t stop at four!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Yong, Li Pingkai, and the four Xia Chuan mentioned—all were hunting team members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Xia Chuan, Luo Yuan, Yuan Cheng, and the three Zhao brothers, the rest of the hunting team started from roughly the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If some were breaking through, the rest were close behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Digging Realm surge has arrived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong felt a surge of excitement. If all fifteen hunting team members broke into Digging Realm, the camp’s strength would leap dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, mining capacity would skyrocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had eighty-three Rodent teeth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Rodent teeth could make one Rodent Drill—eighty-three meant forty-one drills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen Digging Realm cultivators—one Rodent Drill each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The camp’s iron and coal output would become astonishing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For future hunts, you eight come with me. The seven who haven’t broken into Digging Realm must stay in camp and focus on training—hurry and break through.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Leader!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1829,"2026-06-19T20:30:15.201Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","aac1a400b22090d2e5be35240990b345fe4c41707417dc0d28e1d3bc5c70fb73","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-132","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-130",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fendless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-cover.jpg"]
