Bringing a woman back to the treehouse, only to find another woman sprawled on the sofa; this scene was truly a bit twisted.
Mimi, who was lounging by the sofa and responsible for monitoring Lou Fei’Er, saw Xu Xin return. She stood up, stretched her body, slowly sauntered to the corner of the room and lay down again, then yawned and directly closed her eyes.
Xu Xin saw that a mischievous smile was already forming on Lou Fei’Er’s face.
What’s she planning now?
Xu Xin squinted, pointing to the bracelet still on his left hand, silently warning Lou Fei’Er not to speak nonsense.
Lou Fei’Er shuddered slightly at his gesture.
This guy threatening with the bracelet again! Truly detestable!
Yet she was genuinely afraid of that thing, quickly getting up from the sofa.
She stood in place respectfully, bowing her head like a maid and said, "Welco ho, Master, and welco to your two guests visiting the Master’s treehouse."
In her view, this guy brought two won back, clearly wanting to do sothing, so giving him face like this couldn’t be wrong, right?
Xu Xin: "..."
He truly wanted to just put this woman into the bracelet and be done with it.
Li Wenxi blinked.
How co she seems more like the owner of the treehouse!
However, this woman is indeed just as Xu Xin described, outwardly impeccable, especially...
She looked down at her own chest, then at the other’s, feeling slightly deflated.
She already heard everything about Lou Fei’Er from Xu Xin and chose to trust Xu Xin, so she was aware of Lou Fei’Er’s background.
Therefore, she was only upset for a mont and then cald down, knowing Lou Fei’Er was just acting.
"I’ve told you about her before, I wouldn’t lie to you." Xu Xin didn’t want to deal with Lou Fei’Er, turning to Li Wenxi.
"Mm, I’m aware." Li Wenxi smiled at Xu Xin, expressing indifference, then said to Lou Fei’Er, "Okay, Xu Xin has already told everything about you. I’m a mber of [Explorer], and you’ll beco part of Zone 188 soon, let’s get along."
"Ah..." Lou Fei’Er instantly understood.
Turns out, these two won aren’t captured like her but are experts of Zone 188!
Last night, while in the Parasite Treehouse, she listened to countless survivalists in Zone 188 praising [Explorer] non-stop on the regional channel, realizing [Explorer] consists of all the top ten experts in their zone.
And clearly, she seed to have known Xu Xin for a long ti already.
...Awkward.
She wanted to hastily act pitiable, but the mory of Xu Xin just now pointing to the bracelet and the thought of that pitch-black space made her retract this idea, awkwardly waving her hand in place, "Um... hello to you all..."
Seeing Li Wenxi didn’t pay much attention, Xu Xin also relaxed, saying to the two behind, "Feel free to tour the treehouse, Keke, I have things to tend to; show them around."
"...Hm? Eh!" Keke was initially startled, then patted her little chest, indicating, leave it to .
"Huh? You’re going to work imdiately?" Li Wenxi looked at Xu Xin.
"Yeah, it’s getting dark soon; I need to enhance the treehouse’s decoration and quickly create the coordinates." Xu Xin pointed at the paintings hanging on the wall.
"Ah, then I also... Uh, alright, you go ahead, coordinates are more important!" Li Wenxi’s eyes lit up; she held his hand, wanting to witness his art studio and see his carving and sketching skills, but then shifted her focus, reconsidering.
Because she rembered Lou Fei’Er and Li Yajun were still in the treehouse, and Xu Xin also told her that when he’s creating art, his spirit fully imrses, unaware of his surroundings.
This state is quite dangerous; she vowed to watch the other two to prevent them from bothering him, especially this Lou Fei’Er!
This woman once tried to kill Xu Xin; although bound by contract now, essentially a slave, one could consider her an ally, yet not fully trustworthy!
"Mm, I can finish the coordinates quickly." Xu Xin nodded, then directed his gaze at Lou Fei’Er, "Lou Fei’Er, has your weakness period ended?"
"Not yet," Lou Fei’Er obediently answered, "though it should only be a few dozen minutes left."
"Once your weakness period is over, return to your treehouse; don’t stay here any longer."
"...Okay." Lou Fei’Er pouted, agreeing.
She glanced at Li Wenxi.
Clearly, this woman holding Xu Xin’s little panda pet has an unusual relationship with him!
This guy is visibly mindful of this woman’s feelings.
To coexist smoothly, she must build good relations with her! This may determine whether she can live comfortably here in the future!
Lou Fei’Er pondered.
Li Yajun remained silent, hesitant to speak, unsure of what to say. She simply thought this treehouse is genuinely vast...
"Off I go then."
"Go ahead, it’s all yours here!" Li Wenxi stood tall, puffing her chest.
"Eh!" Keke also puffed her chest, chirping in agreent.
Entering the art studio, closing the door, Xu Xin let out a long sigh of relief.
The relationships between won, he truly didn’t want to get involved; it was much simpler to find an excuse to slip away, letting the three won themselves chat.
Anyway, with Mimi and Silver King outside, he wasn’t worried about Lou Fei’Er causing trouble.
Now, it’s ti to focus on the real work.
He first took a flower out from his backpack; it was one of the colorful flowers he obtained at the end of the cave.
[Detected red seven-colored flower (green) *1 placed in the treehouse, decoration degree 2]
A picked seven-colored flower can increase the decoration degree of the treehouse by 2 points.
Xu Xin took out the other seven-colored flowers and placed them in various positions in the art room.
It wasn’t until the twenty-fifth flower that the notification sound told him that the decoration degree from the seven-colored flowers had reached its limit.
Using these seven-colored flowers, he increased the decoration degree of the treehouse by a total of 50 points. Plus, he had a personal 20% decoration degree boost, so the actual increase was 60 points!
Xu Xin allocated all these 60 points to the alchemy room.
At this point, the total decoration degree and boost of his treehouse also changed.
Decoration degree: 551
Bedroom: 1%
Art room: 140%
Planting room: 50%
Alchemy room: 260%
Crafting room: 100%
The alchemy room had an impressive boost of 260%, increasing the alchemy success rate by 26%, and the success rate for making coordinates also reached 76%.
Xu Xin made a voice call to Ji Chaoyang, and it rang twice before connecting.
Before Xu Xin could speak, Ji Chaoyang spoke up.
"I’m already on my way back, it’ll take more than ten minutes to get to the treehouse. Then I’ll directly trade the decorations from my treehouse to you. How much decoration degree are you still lacking?" Ji Chaoyang asked.
Previously, when there were four of them, Ji Chaoyang had said he would first give his decorative items for making the coordinates, and Xu Xin didn’t inquire further at that ti.
"About five green-level decorative items, you should have them, right?" Xu Xin didn’t hesitate, just getting so decorative items from Ji Chaoyang in advance. He would later make so items that only he could make to return the favor.
"Sure, wait for to return," Ji Chaoyang agreed without thinking.
After hanging up the call, Xu Xin sat down at the carving and painting workbench and took out a piece of red wood.
Ten minutes was enough to make a green-level decorative item.
Mainly because he felt exhausted from the day’s activities, he really didn’t want to face those three won outside, let them chat by themselves.
His treehouse already had ten green-level crystal carvings, ten green-level paintings, and seven red wood carvings.
For green-level decoration, he only had three more green-level red wood carvings he could make.
Picking up the carving knife, Xu Xin imrsed himself once again, sawdust flying.
Quickly, he carved out Li Wenxi, wearing a blue-level steel armor set, looking exceptionally valiant and heroic, slightly smaller than a human.
"...I’m really getting more lifelike with my carvings," Xu Xin nodded in satisfaction.
A notification sound rang in his ears as the red wood carving was completed, increasing the decoration degree, and at the sa ti, his watch vibrated.
Sliding open his watch, he saw a trade request from Ji Chaoyang, surprisingly trading him a full nine decorative items!
[Deer Head Trophy] [Wolf Head Trophy] [Wild Boar Trophy], among others, totaling nine.
Xu Xin welcod them all, imdiately agreeing to the trade, and suddenly, nine nacing beast heads appeared before him.
"...Can these heads really increase decoration degree..." Xu Xin twitched the corner of his eye, "Won’t these things decrease my sanity value?"
No wonder the guy sent them all to him, fearing he couldn’t bear having so many heads hanging on his own treehouse’s walls!
Xu Xin picked up a deer head and directly hung it above the art room’s door.
[Detected green deer head trophy *1 placed in the treehouse, decoration degree 10]
Sure enough, like his small carvings, green-level artworks increase the decoration degree by 10 points.
Not to ntion, when these heads were lying on the ground earlier, they looked a bit grotesque, but hung on the wall, it really gave off a hunter’s cabin vibe.
Having an artist’s skills, Xu Xin relied heavily on technical input, naturally Ji Chaoyang’s skills wouldn’t be poor either.
Each of these beast heads looked like living animals, the deer head even had its eyes open, with prominent antlers and eyes completely preserved, truly evoking a hunter’s trophy feeling, full of wild nature.
Xu Xin stored the remaining eight trophies in his backpack and walked out of the art room.
Of course, he couldn’t hang all the trophies in the art room—it would be too eerie to be surrounded by a ring of heads, and it wouldn’t be conducive to artistic creation.
Stepping out, he heard laughter from the three won in the planting room upstairs, mixed with Keke’s babbling.
He pondered for a mont, then went down to the ground floor, hanging the remaining head trophies on the outer wall of the ice cellar, arranged in two rows.
It looked quite majestic this way.
Inside, their at was frozen, outside their heads hung, hmm, very logical.
Nine trophies, along with his recently carved red wood statue, added a total of 100 decoration points to his treehouse. With the boost, it amounted to 120 points, bringing his treehouse’s decoration degree to an astonishing 671 points.
Xu Xin decisively applied the boost from these 120 decoration points all to the alchemy room, bringing its boost to a full 380%!
With this, his coordinate crafting success rate reached 50% 38%, which matched 88%!
Coupled with the effects of the lucky charm, his actual success rate was over 90%!
That’s enough, more than enough.
Ready to craft coordinates!
