Stage / Realm / Level Chapter Notes

Background

The Polar Folk are natives of the frozen world rather than humans transported from Blue Star. They live underground throughout the year and rarely eat fresh meat. Their conversations lead Cao Xing to infer that their living conditions are harsh 5 23.

Appearance

  • Build: Short and stocky, standing less than 1.5 meters tall 2.
  • Facial hair: The first recruits have hairy faces; Dazhuang has a goatee, while Sanzhuang has a full beard 3 5 31.
  • Clothing: Thick, padded snow clothes with strong cold-resistant properties 2 5.

Recruitment and Upkeep

Polar Folk are summoned by spending food at a Polar Folk Hut. Cao Xing can build only one such hut, so increasing its recruitment capacity requires upgrades 2 6.

Hut Level Recruitment Capacity Construction or Upgrade Requirements
Level 1 Four Polar Folk; each costs 5 food 2 10 stone and 30 wood; base construction time of 45 minutes, with up to two builders 2
Level 2 Eight total; Cao Xing recruits four additional workers for 20 food 13 Upgrade costs 50 wood and 30 stone 12
Next upgrade Capacity not stated Requires a Level 3 Lord’s Hut, 100 stone, 200 wood, and 50 iron 13

Food, Loyalty, and Racial Standing

  • Daily food: Lords must feed their subordinates. Prolonged hunger causes them to abandon their lord; another survivor reports unfed Polar Folk refusing to work 2 18.
  • Population limit: Recruits occupy territory population capacity as well as requiring food 6.
  • Naming: Giving a Polar Folk a new name increases that individual’s loyalty by 5 3 13.
  • Rewards and treatment: After receiving snake soup, Dazhuang reaches 85 loyalty and Erzhuang reaches 80 9.
  • Killing Polar Folk: Killing the first reduces standing with their race by 50%. Killing a second makes the race completely hostile, prevents further recruitment, and causes encountered Polar Folk to attack the offender’s camp 5.

Abilities & Skills

Cold Resistance

Their constitution, innate talents, and insulated clothing allow Polar Folk to remain outside the campfire’s warmth longer than Cao Xing and Liu Muxue 3 4.

  • They can gather resources beyond the heated area during the day 3.
  • Their resistance is not immunity: at nightfall, with the outdoor temperature reaching −50°C, they can no longer work even with the campfire’s warmth 9.

Gathering and Construction

Polar Folk perform the territory’s early manual labor, from collecting raw materials to constructing specialized buildings 3 8 23.

  • Gathering: Chop trees, collect stone, transport timber, and mine coal 3 13.
  • Construction: Build logging facilities, markets, shelters, workshops, blacksmiths, and defensive structures 8 18 23 31.
  • Upgrades: Improve the Polar Folk Hut, Campfire, and Lord’s Hut 12 20 31.
  • Skill limits: None of the Polar Folk present demonstrate sewing expertise when Cao Xing asks for a clothing maker 32.

Combat and External Enhancements

Polar Folk can fight, although Cao Xing keeps his limited workforce in labor roles rather than training them into dedicated combat units 5 23.

  • Dazhuang and Erzhuang attack the Snowfield Viper with stone axes, helping Cao Xing secure the regional first kill 4 5.
  • For Common creatures such as Polar Folk, each point of Strength provides roughly 2 points of physical attack 6.
  • Dazhuang’s permanent healing restores his health during the viper encounter; it does not remove the poison itself 4.
  • Cao Xing orders Ilena to apply Snakefolk Frenzy and Scale Armor to the newly recruited workers. These skills provide 20% increased movement and attack speed, and 10 additional armor, respectively 6 18.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Establishing Cao Xing’s Territory

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue build the first Polar Folk Hut before nightfall. The server-first reward of 50 bread allows Cao Xing to spend 20 food recruiting all four available workers. Their arrival frees the two survivors from handling every construction and gathering task themselves 2 3.

Dazhuang’s poisoning introduces the danger surrounding the territory’s resource sites and leads Cao Xing to discover permanent Ice Healing. The subsequent viper hunt restores access to the wood supply 4 5.

Expanding the Workforce

After upgrading the hut, Cao Xing doubles his Polar Folk workforce to eight and divides them among coal mining, logging, stone gathering, and construction. Even this workforce proves insufficient for his building plans, prompting him to recruit human refugees as additional residents 13 23.

Building a Defended Settlement

The Polar Folk upgrade the Campfire to Level 5 and continue work on housing, communal facilities, and the Lesser Elemental Arrow Tower. Once completed, the tower automatically attacks enemies within 600 meters, making their resource-gathering trips safer 31 33.

Relationships

  • Cao Xing — Lord and employer of the named workers. He assigns their duties, provides food, and rewards their work with praise and meat meals 3 9 31.
  • Liu Muxue — Addressed respectfully as “Second Lord.” She purifies Dazhuang’s snake venom 4 9 12.
  • Ilena — Supporting spellcaster whom Cao Xing tasks with strengthening the newly recruited Polar Folk 18.
  • Icefield Hunters — A threat to workers outside protected territory; Wang Ziheng reports that they killed two of his Polar Folk 18.
