Would you abandon them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer was obvious—they didn’t want to abandon them. Not to mention the relatives and friends among these ordinary people; even without ties, years of shared life had forged bonds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You say risking more for these people isn’t worth it—I understand. But consider this: before they can go out, we’ve always been risking for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting, gathering crystal fruit, cutting wood, and future mining—all involve going out. Who can guarantee absolute safety? Isn’t that risk enough?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Xia Hong exhaled softly, his expression growing grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people are a burden—that’s a general consensus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can’t go out; even carrying logs requires several people working together. Before, we dared not open the cave entrance at night, so collecting snowwater had to be done by the woodcutters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the Golden-Eyed Demon Sheep attack, while I led seven of you to resist, the other hundred-plus could only watch helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If cold beasts can do this, imagine what stronger supernatural entities could accomplish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fall of Dashi Camp and the tragedy of Luo Ge Camp are two bloody lessons right before our eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong wasn’t blaming them—in conditions of scarce resources, ordinary people in any camp are a burden: they contribute nothing, yet the camp’s active forces must risk their lives to sustain them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going out always carries risk; those staying behind face no risk but contribute nothing and produce nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This imbalance, if prolonged, will prevent the camp from developing healthily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the camp must participate in its development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms from my past life, this is called liberating their productive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first step is providing enough cold beast meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, without the ability to go out, everything is empty talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slight risk taken early on is entirely worth it if it allows more people to contribute more to the camp’s growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this risk won’t last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through his own cultivation progress, Xia Hong had already realized: the Woodcutting and Digging realms have virtually no threshold for humans; with sufficient cold beast meat, everyone can break through—only the speed varies by age and talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With enough Woodcutting realm cultivators, Xia Hong and the others can focus solely on hunting, no longer needing to worry about cutting trees; the same logic applies to future mining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As more people take on specialized roles and contribute, the camp’s output will grow richer, and this output can then be reinvested—creating a true virtuous cycle, allowing Great Xia to develop fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After elaborating his thoughts in detail, Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng immediately fell into thought; unlike when he proposed the Three-Five-Two system, this time they grasped it quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, proposing the Four-Tier system already proved Xia Chuan’s thinking was very close to Xia Hong’s; thus, he understood and accepted Xia Hong’s words immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you ever considered that one day, everyone in Great Xia might cultivate—even five- or six-year-old children might reach Woodcutting realm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader, don’t joke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother, you’ve lost your mind—how could that be possible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong’s final remark made Xia Chuan and Yuan Cheng burst out laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That everyone could cultivate was already absurd; that five- or six-year-olds could reach Woodcutting realm sounded like pure fantasy to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless the cold beasts just lay there motionless for them to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Hong didn’t refute them; after a moment’s thought, he laughed along with them:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, just a joke. Go count the numbers first, and announce the new meat distribution rules—let everyone celebrate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching their retreating backs, Xia Hong wiped the smile from his face, glanced around the camp, and a flicker of ambition flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t been joking. With the camp system, the day when Great Xia achieves this is inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xia Chuan announced Xia Hong’s new meat distribution rules, the camp erupted in a roaring wave of cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially among the newly merged Dashi group—when they heard everyone, including them, would receive cold beast meat, they first couldn’t believe it; once confirmed, they burst into tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the dense crowd surging toward him, Xia Hong instantly realized what was happening and stood up quickly to stop them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could speak, the crowd rushed forward; several people even stepped aside, lifted him high into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader, mighty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader, mighty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader, mighty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the cheers were uneven, every voice brimmed with gratitude and reverence—and as the noise grew louder, this emotion gradually turned to fervor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a familiar voice suddenly echoed from outside the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Xia Hong, I’ve been searching for you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though quiet, the voice cut clearly through the cave, silencing the cheering crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone fell instantly still, tensely turning toward the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1310,"2026-06-19T20:30:15.201Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","37009560eb786dc87bfb6d0f20cd3bfa9d0af7d21a89ae168e16395f291698f4","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-79","endless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-chapter-77",521,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fendless-winter-my-camp-infinitely-upgrades-cover.jpg"]
