Before leaving, Xu Xin wanted to leave the new resources he brought back from outside in the house.
He took out the wooden barrel, and the group of small fish were still swimming happily in the barrel.
He simply built a half-person-high fish tank out of glass, placed it next to the third-floor screen, and poured the water and fish in the bucket into it.
Detected that there are 52 colorful fish (green) in the tree house, the decoration of the tree house is +10.4, the current decoration of the tree house is: 10.4
The sudden voice startled Xu Xin.
A new attribute, Decorativeness, appears.
Xu Xin came to the screen and found that there was one more option in the main selection: decoration degree.
After clicking it, there is only a line of small words in the interface: Breeding colorful scale fish (green) * 52, increasing the decoration degree by 10.4.
Apart from this, there are no other words in the interface.
Fifty-two colorful-scaled fish added 10.4, which means that the decorative degree increased by each colorful-scaled fish is 0.2.
… So what does this decoration do
Does it have to reach a certain value to be visible
Coco climbed to the edge of the fish tank and looked at the colorful little fish in the tank curiously.
"Keke, and you two," Xu Xin said to the three beasts, "you are not allowed to catch these small fish to eat. These are for viewing, understand?"
"Hmm!" Keke nodded her head and used her paws to stir the water in the fish tank. The wolf king also howled.
Mimi seemed to pout her lips, as if to say, such a small fish is not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth.
Xu Xin took out the mahogany in his backpack and the colorful crystals he picked up from under the water.
It is detected that 1 blue crystal (green), 1 amethyst (green), 1 red crystal (green), and 1 green crystal (green) are placed in the tree house. The decoration degree of the tree house is +4. The current decoration degree of the tree house is: 14.4
Redwood did not trigger the prompt sound.
The introduction to rosewood says that rosewood can be carved into wood carvings or made into furniture, which can increase the decorative effect.
The introductions to those crystals also say that they can be carved. Does that mean that carved crystals can be more decorative
But this is not something Xu Xin should consider, as he does not know how to carve.
The most urgent task now is to return to the underwater vortex below the tornado and see what is in that vortex.
Since there is a mid-level mutant creature guarding it, there must be some good things in there!
Maybe it is connected to somewhere, otherwise where did this swordfish come from
Xu Xin looked at the tornado outside the window. It was still as terrifying as before, and kept throwing out some things.
He jumped into the water again and swam quickly towards the direction of the tornado.
Along the way, he found several green-level crystals and some mahogany, which should have been newly thrown out.
In addition to the previous colors, Xu Xin also discovered yellow quartz and white quartz, which are two different colors.
After putting these new resources into his backpack, he swam quickly to the underwater whirlpool.
This time, Xu Xin did not feel a sense of crisis, but he did not dare to take it lightly. He stopped his movements and followed the surrounding water flow slowly into the whirlpool.
He could see that the white crystals at the bottom of the water were being swept closer by the whirlpool and were finally sucked into it.
Gradually, Xu Xin was only a few meters away from the edge of the whirlpool. At this time, the pulling force of the water flow was very strong. Xu Xin felt that he could no longer resist the suction of the water flow. However, he did not panic, but let the water flow suck him into the whirlpool.
As his body passed through the outer edge of the vortex, the pulling force increased again and his speed became much faster. Xu Xin calmed his mind and was carried by the vortex, spinning faster and faster, getting closer and closer to the center of the vortex.
Suddenly, Xu Xin was thrown out, staggered, and his feet landed on the ground, and he couldn't stop running forward a few steps.
That's right, I stepped on the ground.
He was so dizzy that he thought he was hallucinating.
"Is this the eye of a tornado? It's so cold..."
Xu Xin shivered from the cold.
He was thrown into the whirlpool, and inside the whirlpool, miraculously, there was no water.
Xu Xin was too lazy to explain it scientifically. This was not scientific at all.
He raised his head and looked around. On the lower layer was a five or six meter high vortex water ring, and above that was a tornado.
Although the vortex below was very strange, absorbing water very slowly and rotating slowly, some water was still sucked into the tornado and turned into mist as it gradually rose, making the oppressive feeling of the clouds above increasingly stronger.
Fortunately, there was no wind in the eye of the storm, but the temperature was a little low and the air pressure was also low. He had just come out of the water and was still wet. He was shivering from the cold and had difficulty breathing.
He hastily began to look for what he wanted.
The entire eye of the storm is a circular area with a diameter of about ten meters. All the small trees in the vortex area are gone, all swept away by the tornado. However, in this area, these small trees are completely intact and are not destroyed by the tornado.
"What is that?"
Xu Xin discovered that in the center of the bushes, there was a tattered-looking wooden box. It was very small, about the size of a beer box.
He hurried over, no, it was too cold and uncomfortable here and he couldn't stay there for too long.
It seems that he has to use the pills Qi Xuefei gave him when he gets home. He is wet and cold all over. It would be unjust if he doesn't catch a cold but has a fever.
When he came to the wooden box and saw its appearance clearly, Xu Xin's eyes twitched.
"This is too shabby. Did you find this box from a garbage dump?"
I feel like this box was dropped here after being destroyed. Could it be just a piece of trash that fell from a tornado
But in the entire eye of the storm, apart from the small tree, there was only this broken box, so Xu Xin had no choice but to squat down.
The box was locked, but because the box was very broken, Xu Xin could even see what was inside through the gaps. It seemed to be some colorful stones.
… emitting green and blue light.
Green level resources and blue level resources!
Xu Xin's eyes lit up, and he pried the lid of the box off with force. He was very strong now.
The box was filled with colorful crystals, which were the crystals Xu Xin had picked up underwater outside.
Xu Xin flipped through it and took out a few crystals emitting blue light.
Red Crystal (Blue): An exceptionally beautiful crystal that can be placed in a tree house to add to the decoration and can be used for carving.
At the same time, there is a blue crystal and a white crystal, both of which are blue level.
"Is that all?" Xu Xin was very dissatisfied. He came in after killing a mid-level mutant beast. There couldn't be only these resources here.
He turned the box upside down and dumped out all its contents.
A flash of purple light appeared, and immediately the corners of his mouth curled up. Sure enough, there are purple-level resources here!
It was a card. Just by looking at the appearance of the card, Xu Xin knew that it must be some kind of contract.
He picked up the card, and words he didn't recognize gradually appeared on the damp card.
Artist Contract (Purple): After using this contract, the Artist Option is unlocked, and you can create manufacturing blueprints related to statue painting, and gain proficiency in carving and painting.
Xu Xin: “?”
For a moment, he felt that this contract was a piece of junk.
But on second thought, the new resources he had obtained before seemed to be related to sculpture. Could this contract be about creating statues and paintings that could add to the decorativeness
Next to the contract, there is a purple crystal, but unlike other crystals, this purple crystal also emits purple light.
Another purple-level resource!
Xu Xin reached out and picked up the amethyst.
Amethyst (Purple): An exceptionally beautiful and strong crystal that can be placed in a tree house to add a touch of decoration and can be used for carving.
Purple carving material!
Xu Xin crushed the contract in his hand without hesitation.
A warm current flowed from his hands into his heart, and then circulated to all parts of his body along with the beating of his heart.
Feeling his physique and strength increasing again, Xu Xin clenched his fists.
At this moment, his mind was filled with many carving and painting memories, just like a cramming machine. He felt that as long as he picked up a carving knife or a paintbrush, he could create a work of art that would shock the world.
Xu Xin opened the watch. Sure enough, under the main option of decoration, another sub-option of artist lit up.
After clicking, there are only three manufacturing items in the options.
Carving Tool Set (Green): can be used to carve green-level materials and make green-level statues. Requires Iron Block (Green)*1, Wood (Green)*1
Paintbrush (green): Dip it in water to draw the desired ink painting, and you can draw green-level paintings. You need 1 piece of wood (green) and a strand of animal hair (green)
Carving and Painting Workbench (Blue): Only on this workbench can you carve and paint works that will go down in history! You need 10 redwood (green) and 5 stone (blue).
Wow, a set of carving and painting tools!
This really makes him an artist!
Xu Xin was somewhat speechless. He didn't know what the decoration level was used for yet, so he wasn't too excited about this ability. Instead, he felt it was quite subtle.
Hopefully the decoration will be of great use.
After returning, I will try to carve it to enhance the decoration of the tree house.
He raised his head and looked upwards, originally just wanting to see if there were any high-level resources falling down, but what he saw made his eyes fixed.
About two meters above his head, there was a small purple-black vortex spinning quietly.
"What is this?" Xu Xin's eyelids twitched.
This small purple-black vortex looks like a small black hole, making the surrounding space appear distorted.
But what was strange was that this vortex did not affect the surrounding trees or Xu Xin below it. It just hung in the air, spinning quietly.
What the hell is this?! How could there be a smaller vortex in the eye of a tornado
