Chapter 131: Chapter 114: New House, New Rules, New Starting Point [Four-in-One Mega Chapter]_2

"20400 jin, an increase of over 200 at once. As expected, the previous slowdown was because of immunity to the first three types of Cold Beast meat. Eating Mouse Meat restored it. We need to devise a plan to hunt different types of Cold Beasts."

With the speed of strength enhancement finally restored, Xia Hong naturally felt relieved and joyful.

The limit of 30,000 jin was not far off. After the Excavation Level, the next step is the Cold Resistance Level. Reaching that stage would allow free movement under sunlight.

As a normal human, Xia Hong’s yearning for sunlight was profound, only he truly understood it. Almost a year in this world, and he had yet to see what the daytime world looks like.

"But after reaching the limit of 30,000 jin, how to break through to the Cold Resistance Level, I still have no idea. Perhaps I should scout the Arrow Bamboo Forest in advance. When the time comes to go to the Hive Camp, I’ll be prepared!"

Xia Hong pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something, shook his head with resignation, and patted his forehead.

"The most urgent task is the Rodent pack on the North Slope of the mountain wall; without solving this big issue, everything else is pointless, so let’s not waste time with wild thoughts..."

Xia Hong was unclear about the strength of the Cold Resistance Level.

But at least he could be certain that even if his Basic Strength broke through to 30,000 jin, handling the Rodent pack alone was utterly unrealistic.

"The Rodent pack needs dedicated monitoring to prevent any unexpected occurrences. But the person assigned should be more agile. Let’s think, who should be sent?"

Before pondering for long, Xia Chuan’s slightly excited shout came from the door.

"Leader, the wooden house is completed!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Hong couldn’t help but feel a bit excited as well. He stood up from his chair and followed Xia Chuan out of the temporary wooden house.

"Make way, let the leader in!"

Within the valley, a massive crowd gathered at the entrance of the giant wooden house. Upon hearing Xia Chuan’s call, everyone turned their heads to look at Xia Hong and stepped aside, making way for a path.

As Xia Hong walked through the path, he took in the excitement and joy on people’s faces along the way, and he couldn’t help but start looking forward to the new residence.

Arriving in front of the wooden house, the five-meter-high light gold structure and the black iron-framed door came into view. Standing by the entrance was the excited Mu Dong.

Seeing Xia Hong approaching, Mu Dong helped push open the door.

Behind the door was a five-meter-wide passage. As Xia Hong took the first step inside, Mu Dong followed closely, starting the explanation, and a large group of people followed them in.

"The two doors are five meters tall and two meters wide, both edged with black iron, with iron latches fixed beneath. People inside can hook them, and once hooked, no matter how much force is used from the outside, at most the wooden parts might get smashed, but toppling the two doors is impossible.

Next is the first-floor corridor, five meters wide and seventy-five meters long. The left and right sides are rooms partitioned by boards, each room ten meters by ten meters wide, totaling three hundred and sixty, divided into southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast sections, all with corridors and marked signs;

At the end of the corridor is the central hall, fifty meters by fifty meters, with four load-bearing pillars and eight more spread across the other four sections. This area is specifically for collective activities.

Leader, look at this Iron Refining Furnace."

As Mu Dong explained while walking, Xia Hong had reached the central hall. In the middle of the hall, a more than two-meter-diameter Iron Refining Furnace hung from a thick chain connecting above.

Looking up, Xia Hong noticed that the second and third floors of the wooden house had left a large hole over five meters in diameter precisely for the Iron Refining Furnace’s ascent and descent.

As expected, Mu Dong stepped forward and pulled one end of the chain. With a gentle tug, the Iron Refining Furnace slowly ascended to the second floor, where he let go to latch the chain.

Even though the Iron Refining Furnace had ascended to the second floor, the firelight still illuminated the first floor’s hall, with no reduction in bright light, just as before.

"The Iron Refining Furnace now serves not only as a light source but also for heating and iron refining. Considering the functionality on all three floors and its weight contributing to the wooden house’s stability, I designed this device.

The Iron Refining Furnace’s chain is hooked with the cast iron beams on the ceiling. The beams are interconnected with key iron components in other areas. In case of external force attacks, applying weight to the Iron Refining Furnace greatly enhances the building’s stability."

Pulley systems, elevators, connected structures, and the previous mortise and tenon joints, woodworking components...

How many new things has Mu Dong come up with?

He’s truly a talent!

Even Xia Hong’s gaze towards Mu Dong slightly changed.

While Xia Hong had the ideas for these things, doing them from scratch with bare hands was certainly beyond him.

Yet Mu Dong managed to create all these things with the tools and concepts provided, almost unbelievable.

Not only Xia Hong, but the large group of people who came in mirrored the sentiment of Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, looking around excitedly to the extreme.

Indeed, although most of them were involved in the construction, the majority only handled a small part. Their understanding of the entire wooden house was naturally less comprehensive than Mu Dong’s, so their amazement upon hearing his introduction was no less than Xia Hong’s.
