The snow fell earlier than usual in Winter Village this year, and it is worth celebrating that the last crops had been harvested in the village a few days ago, including several new crops that Mark had planted later.

The next few months will be the most difficult for the villagers of Winter Village.

"How's the heating working?" Sitting in his cabin with papers in front of him, David was working on paperwork to prepare for the next year's Winter Village upgrade application, collating the various conditions in the village into written messages.

"The heating worked better than expected, and the temperature in a few wooden houses could easily exceed 20 degrees, and everyone felt that living in this kind of house did not have to worry about the cold weather outside." After a period of study, Eva can already communicate with everyone in the lingua franca, and this silly-looking Allied intelligence officer is much more capable than David imagined: "In addition, the temporary cellar dug by the craftsmen has been completed, and the harvested vegetables have been stored in it. ”

Because the harvest in the farmland of Rindong Village far exceeded expectations, not only the original warehouse was filled, but also many potatoes were piled outside.

In addition, the craftsmen built the wooden houses where they lived in advance, so they dug a few simple cellars to ensure that the potatoes could be stored, and the potatoes would not be inedible when they were frozen, but the taste would deteriorate.

Anyway, the craftsmen don't have anything to do for the time being, and being busy can also allow everyone to vent their excess energy, after all, they haven't worried about eating since they came to Winter Village. And in this world, there will be no soldiers from the Stormwind Kingdom who will rush over to arrest them at any time, and they will finally live a stable life.

If people are too comfortable, they may cause trouble, and David racks his brains to find something for everyone to do. The high-level craftsmen went to inspect the surroundings like Van Cleef, and the middle- and low-level craftsmen helped Will build and repair various tools, and helped the villagers improve and repair their dwellings, cowsheds, chicken coops, and so on.

If they still feel that they have no place to use their strength, David has no objection to them directly building a house of their own.

At present, the construction of Winter Town can be considered fast in the second half of next year, and before that, there will definitely be people who do not want to continue to live in the 'collective dormitory' and want to move out with their families, so it is also a good choice to build a wooden house as a temporary residence.

However, it is not easy to dig the foundation and build a house in winter. Oh, it's the Iron Humans of Azeroth? That's fine! Just toss around!

"How's the new guys learning about linguistics?"

"Most people are able to have simple conversations, and some miners are slower." As for Eva and Leonard, they have already mastered the lingua franca, and Sheldon, a high-IQ genius, has also learned the lingua franca of Azeroth by the way.

"It looks like everything is on track." David was satisfied, and looked out through the window, there were goose feather-sized snowflakes floating outside, and the entire Winter Village was covered with a layer of new white clothes: "What about you?" What do you think? ”

"What?" Eva held a notebook in her hand, which recorded various situations and changes in Winter Village, so that David could inquire at any time when he asked: "I think it's good, Peggy, Sharon, Laura, Mark, Jonah...... They all helped me a lot, but now I feel very useless and can't help too much. ”

"You've helped me a lot." With the increase in population, all kinds of trivial things are also increasing, David goes around the village every day, and after dealing with all kinds of small things, there is basically no time for personal cultivation, and now Eva helps deal with all kinds of trivial things, which can ensure that David knows the situation in the village well, and can also keep his personal cultivation uninterrupted.

"I just did what I could."

"That's good, really."

David wrote a few more strokes in his notebook, writing Eva McKenna's name on the back of the clerk.

After the village was upgraded to the town of winter, various official systems had to be established, and it was impossible to nominally have a village chief as an official as originally done.

As for the specific official positions, the Kingdom of Tiran did not interfere in the internal affairs of the lieges, and the names of the officials and who they used were left to the lord's discretion.

David hadn't figured out what positions they would set up and who would fill them. But now after seeing Eva's performance, he feels that Eva is fully capable of being his secretary, but for security reasons, he wrote the name Clerk.

Just as David wanted to continue asking Eva if anyone in the village had expressed any recent complaints, there was a few knocks on the wooden door.

"Please come in."

With David's invitation, the wooden door was pushed open, and Laura walked in from outside the door: "Still sorting out the papers?" ”

"It's almost done."

David looked at the clock on the table—it had only started to appear in Winter Village after Leonard and the others arrived. After careful observation, testing, testing, and verification by several scientists, it was concluded that the world is also 24 hours a day, and the clocks on the earth can be used directly, without the need to design new clocks such as 30 hours a day.

David only felt that the time of each day was about the same as in his previous life, but he couldn't be as sure as these people on earth, but another thing he could be sure of was that there are 400 days in a year in this world, and the length of winter in Winter Village is more than 150 days (referring to days with low temperatures and particularly cold); It snowed so early this year, maybe more than 180 days.

"Where have you been?" David noticed that Laura had a lot of snow on her, and she probably hadn't just come from his house.

"Just came from Will, and I'm here specifically for you."

"Oh? What's going on there in Will? David was stunned, wondering what was going on with Will? Looking at Laura like this, shouldn't it be a bad thing?

"Just take a look."

Tidying up the things in front of him and setting them aside, he got up and took the coat and coat that Laura handed over, and then they left the cabin together and went to the blacksmith's shop.

The inside of Will's blacksmith shop was spacious, but it was a bit crowded at this time, and David came to find that several visitors from the other world in the village had all gathered here.

"Will is this a steel armor with his hands?" David looked at so many people, even Leonard, and made a curious joke: "Who solved the energy problem?" Sheldon? ”

After looking around, I found that Sheldon was not there?

"Sheldon is still pestering Van Cleef, trying to learn how to stealth with him." Leonard replied to David's words, but his eyes were still fixed on the front, and he didn't even turn his head.

David curiously followed Leonard's line of sight and found that everyone was looking at a few ordinary-looking weapons.

"This is Will's new work?"

"Yes." When Will saw David coming, he immediately stopped communicating with Mark, and after saying hello to David, he pointed to several weapons on the table: "Because of an accident, Mark and I discovered the special use of crystal ore, and we did a few tests by the way. ”

Will pointed to Mark next to him, and at the same time raised the crystal ore in his hand, it was the blue-purple columnar crystal ore, and David noticed that the crystal ore in Will's hand was obviously much smaller.

"Oh?"

The crystal ore was retrieved from the Martian base a few days ago, and it has been determined that this thing will not cause harm to people, and at the same time, it has been determined that this thing contains energy.

There was nothing else to discover, and Leonard and Sheldon had suggested that it might be used as an energy source, and wanted to work out a way to use it efficiently.

Unexpectedly, Leonard and Sheldon haven't given any research results, and Will has made a new discovery.

"What kind of discovery?"

"When forging weapons, add crystal powder." Will pulled out a swift sword, the stabbing sword, which he had been best at crafting and wielding, "It will have this effect. ”

glanced at Mark next to him, and Mark immediately moved a target with an iron plate hanging from the side and placed it in the open space, and then decisively flashed to the side, leaving the stage to Will alone.

Everyone didn't make a sound, and quietly watched Will walk to the target with an iron plate hanging with his sword, and then stabbed the iron plate on the target in a very standard sword posture.

Swish!

An inconspicuous light flashed, and everyone could clearly see that the swift sword glowed as it touched the target, and then the iron plate was easily pierced by the sword in Will's hand like a fake made of paper.

"Wow~"

The onlookers exclaimed in unison, of course they wouldn't think that the iron plate was fake, and Will specifically mentioned that the mineral powder was added when building the weapon, so everyone present understood what Will's discovery was.

"It's not over yet!" Will is happy, he's enjoying the feeling of being noticed, and he's finally showing his worth.

Putting the swift sword aside, Will picked up the shield next to him and nodded to Laura.

Laura, who had been standing next to her, took out the pistol she had prepared in advance, aimed it at the shield in Will's hand and emptied the magazine.

The loud noise was still echoing, and everyone was a little dizzy, but no one expressed dissatisfaction, and everyone's attention was focused on the shining shield, which left no trace.

After looking at the good and undamaged shield and the bullets that fell in front of Will, David realized the great value of the crystal ore - in addition to containing energy, it may be used as an energy source, and it can also be used as a material to improve the attack and defense of weapons and equipment.

"Good stuff!" If Laura hadn't been around, he would have liked to kiss Eva, who had provided the crystal ore, a few bites: "However, this usage...... StarCraft? ”
