The issue still lies in the scarcity of Cold Beast Resources.
Although the clothing made from Bamboo Silk is exquisite and warm enough, due to the material issues, the amount of Bamboo Silk required to make one set of clothing is more than a hundred times that of making a bowstring, making Bamboo Silk clothing not cost-effective.
That’s why, previously, in Mirror Immortal Camp, only a dozen people could wear clothing made of Bamboo Silk; Beast Skin was so sparse that only those in the Earth-digging Realm could wear a complete set, with almost none in the Logging Realm being able to wear one.
"Contribution Value is not just for yourselves. If you work hard and break through to the Earth-digging Realm, you can earn more Contribution Value and easily make a set of clothes for your wife and children."
"How long has Great Xia been implementing the Contribution Value system? Those in the Logging Realm should have saved enough already, it’s just a set of clothes, no big deal!"
Suddenly, two young voices sounded from the side, answering everyone.
When Hong Yu turned his head to look, a smile instantly appeared on his face.
It was Meng Ao and Zhu Kang, both carrying a large piece of wood on their backs, evidently workers in the wooden building just like them.
"You two are here too, I thought you wouldn’t be interested in these Contribution Points!"
"Come on, how could I miss such a good opportunity?"
"When the wooden building is completed, earning Contribution Points won’t be this easy."
The three grew up together, having an extremely close relationship, and loved joking with each other.
In fact, it should be four people, including Yuwen Dao.
It’s just a pity that Yuwen Dao’s talent is higher; he broke through to the Earth-digging Realm first and is almost at the Cold Resistance Level, gaining Hunting Ability, so the time the four spend together has reduced.
After their banter, they all looked intentionally or unintentionally towards the Martial Arts Hall, eyes filled with longing.
Zhu Kang couldn’t help but speak first: "Brother Dao and the others have been in there for a day already, and the triple cultivation speed is most likely true. If we could get in and train sometimes, it would be great."
Meng Ao nodded lightly, saying: "With triple cultivation speed, if I could train inside and have enough Cold Beast Meat, in at most ten days, I should be able to break through to the Earth-digging Realm."
"My strength is similar to yours; if I get in to train, it should only take ten days as well."
After Hong Yu finished speaking, he thought of something and said: "Fifty Contribution Points per day, Lord said last night, only two hundred people can enter the Martial Arts Hall each day to train. I estimate that in the future, spots to enter will definitely be competed for."
Hearing this, Zhu Kang shook his head and said: "No, if it’s really by competition, then all the spots would be taken by those in the Earth-digging Realm. We, in the Logging Realm, already don’t have as many Contribution Points as they do, and coupled with their higher status in the camp, we definitely couldn’t compete if it were based on strength."
Hong Yu immediately agreed, nodding: "Based on the current rules of Great Xia, the spots in the Martial Arts Hall should be like everything else, where those with higher cultivation have priority, but a small portion will be reserved for those with lower cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Kang and Meng Ao nodded slightly, agreeing with the sentiment.
They’ve been in Great Xia for two days now, and while they’re not fully understanding, at the very least, they have a basic grasp of the camp’s rules and system.
To summarize Great Xia’s current operational rules in one sentence: those with higher cultivation have priority, but no matter what, a small portion will be reserved for those with lower cultivation.
Even such important resources as Cold Beast Meat are subject to a distribution system.
Hoarding is not allowed, and each person can exchange according to their needs.
This non-restriction on Beast Meat supply is due to Great Xia’s abundant Cold Beast Resources, but even without scarcity, this free supply is a major psychological shock for people like them.
After all, back at Mirror Immortal Camp, every pound of Cold Beast Meat was precious.
Due to their fathers, the three always had a sufficient supply of Beast Meat.
But what about others?
"Just the Beast Meat supply alone is enough to make these people feel a strong sense of belonging to Great Xia. In time, I estimate no one will remember the words Mirror Immortal."
"Not just Mirror Immortal, the words Ningzhou will probably also be completely forgotten!"
As soon as Hong Yu spoke, Zhu Kang immediately followed up.
The three exchanged glances, a complex expression flashing across their faces.
After the downfall of Mirror Immortal Camp, among those who managed to escape, a large portion of the Earth-digging and Logging Realms were former Ningzhou residents.
Although Yuwen Hu is dead, Yuwen Dao is still around, along with their elders, such as Hong Guang and four others, actually preferring the idea of rebuilding Ningzhou Camp with Yuwen Dao instead of merging with Great Xia.
But unfortunately, circumstance is stronger than man, and those five probably saw that Xia Hong would not allow such a thing, so when Yuwen Dao proposed the merger into Great Xia, they all acquiesced.
Due to their fathers’ influence, Hong Yu and the others also had thoughts of rebuilding Ningzhou Camp.
But having been in Great Xia only two days, they’ve come to realize gradually that such thoughts are impossible to fulfill.
"Clinging to the words Ningzhou is not a good thing; no matter where we are, our goal is nothing more than to constantly become stronger and then live a better life. If Great Xia can help us achieve that, then we will stay in Great Xia forever and become a part of Great Xia, which is not a bad thing, is it?"
Meng Ao was the first to break the silence, and upon hearing his words, both Zhu Kang and Hong Yu showed agreement in their eyes but did not respond right away.
"By the way, have Uncle Hong and the others formed a Hunting Team?"
