Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Though not fasting at the Cold Resistance Level, one can pre-store energy from substantial eating, a capacity that can be continually improved. Xia Hong is currently capable of only needing to eat every three days. He had previously notified Han Yue to bring food to the Star-picking Platform every three days, ensuring no interruptions during this time.

On the fifth day of September, when he last emerged from seclusion, Xia Hong’s basic strength already reached fifty-four manes. At that time, he estimated that it would take less than a year to increase it to seventy-two manes. By then, channeling medicinal power for bone tempering and marrow nourishing, breaking through to Xianyang Level would come naturally.

Currently, as long as the camp activities are confined within the Pingxi Plain, Great Xia essentially faces no threatening enemies, and with Xia Chuan and the seven divisions present, matters in Xia City demand no concern from him.

Driven by a desire to breakthrough to the Xianyang Level, Xia Hong commenced his first wholehearted secluded cultivation since arriving in the Ice Abyss World.

While he was secluded in cultivation, the camp was rapidly enhancing its overall capability by converting various benefits brought by this round of building upgrades.

......

Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and it quickly came to the fourth year of Great Xia.

On the fifth day of August, at the edge of nightfall.

The cold sun in the sky, though gradually dimming, still relentlessly infused the land with cold air. While there were still several light sources remaining in the Outer City, the vast majority of people were already asleep, with only a few diligent captains from mid and high-level Hunting Teams and personnel from the seven divisions waking up early to start preparations before night.

In contrast to the Outer City, though the Inner City was smaller, many more people bearing the cold light were evident on the streets, often greeting familiar faces, stopping for a word, their low voices adding a hint of liveliness.

The area around the main building, however, was noticeably quieter, especially at the rear under the Star-picking Hall. Though brightly lit, with the Holy Tripod’s fire clearly visible at the center of the roof, and occasional sightings of maids passing through the porch, the overall atmosphere was silent and solemn.

After all, it is the Lord’s residence, the most crucial and mysterious place in Xia City. Whoever looks up at the Star-picking Hall from below would feel a sense of solemnity and awe, aside from the overwhelming fervor, of course.
