By the way, the name of Li Wenxi's ability is actually called Prospector, which is another ability that seems like a profession.
However, although this furnace can refine purple-level materials, it is not omnipotent.
In comparison, the tree house core is more flexible.
The furnace can only smelt some specific materials, and the tree house core can also upgrade other basic materials such as stone and wood. So this special furnace cannot replace the role of the tree house core.
Of course, it was no problem if Li Wenxi didn't want the tree house core. If they cooperated with each other, she would be responsible for producing purple-level metal blocks or other materials that needed to be smelted, such as glass, and that would be enough. The rest could be left to them.
Li Wenxi proudly threw the steel block in her hand, but almost missed it. She quickly hugged it with both hands and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked up at Xu Xin, with a proud expression on her face, and said with her chest puffed out: "How about it, am I awesome?"
"Awesome!" Xu Xin nodded. This was indeed amazing.
Then he asked, "What is the probability of your furnace upgrading to high-level materials? Have you calculated it?"
“Ah, this…” Li Wenxi’s smug expression froze on his face.
Then she said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I don't know what the probability is, but it's definitely not high. I just made this furnace last night. The first time I smelted it, I smelted a piece of purple-grade steel."
She raised the steel block in her hand and said excitedly, "I was so excited that I almost sent you a video! But I thought you would come today, so I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't tell you. I also wanted to refine a few more purple-grade steel blocks first, so that you can be surprised when you come!"
"As a result, not a single purple-grade steel block was produced?" After hearing her previous words, Xu Xin had already guessed the result.
"Yes! The steel blocks in the backpack I just gave you in the workshop were all refined by me using this furnace. I refined dozens of blue-grade steel blocks, but not a single purple one!" Li Wenxi looked a little annoyed, "I have used up all the blue-grade ore materials! It was only upgraded to purple that one time, and I thought the chance was very high!"
"Then are there any green-level upgrades to blue-level?"
"Ah, yes, I have this. Yesterday I refined more than 200 green-grade iron blocks, and a total of seven blue-grade iron blocks came out. The chance of upgrading green-grade iron blocks to blue-grade iron blocks is quite high!"
This probability is really not low!
It seems that when this furnace refines different levels of ore, the probability of refining higher-level materials will also be different. The probability of upgrading low-level materials will be higher.
"That's great. What we mainly need are blue-level resources," Xu Xin turned around and looked at the big furnace. "Each coordinate requires ten blue-level steel blocks and ten blue-level iron blocks. With this furnace, we can make coordinates faster!"
"Coordinates? By the way, last time I gave you the materials that can make a set of coordinates. How is it going? Have you made it?" Li Wenxi was also interested in the coordinates. When Xu Xin mentioned the coordinates, he immediately asked with interest.
"Well... not yet, because alchemy has a success rate, I need to use the decoration level to increase the success rate of alchemy. It will be done soon, I should be able to complete it when I go back today. Once the coordinates are out, we will be neighbors and can meet anytime."
After returning this time, I will first raise the success rate of alchemy to over 80% and start making coordinates. At present, with this furnace, there will be no shortage of blue-level iron and steel blocks.
Although Ji Chaoyang, him, and Li Wenxi seemed to be very close, with both of them separated from him by only a tree house in another area, in fact, there was a distance of at least 20 kilometers between each of them, which was basically equivalent to the distance between two city centers. Such a long distance naturally required coordinates to connect.
"Is that so..." Li Wenxi thought, then secretly glanced at him.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Li Wenxi was becoming shy and wanted to say something, Xu Xin immediately asked her.
"Well... Xu Xin, actually I wanted to say this last night, that is... well... that... if I bring a tree house to your place, will you want me?" Li Wenxi looked up at Xu Xin.
"Huh?" Xu Xin opened his eyes wide and thought for a moment before he understood what Li Wenxi meant. "You mean, you want to parasitize the tree house in my protected area?"
"Yes, that's what I mean."
"Of course not, no." Xu Xin flatly refused.
Of course not.
"You..." Li Wenxi's body trembled, and his expression immediately became aggrieved, and then turned to shame and anger, "You, you, why did you refuse so quickly! I will be your subordinate, isn't it good?"
"I think you just want to be lazy and don't want to manage and control the people who go to your protected area!" Xu Xin could understand what she meant.
Li Wenxi just didn't want to bother managing her protected area. If she transplanted her tree house to his place, with his deterrent power, other parasitic survivors would not dare to do anything, and she could easily lead people to mine everywhere.
All in all, when she came to him, she could really be a relaxed miner leader without having to worry about anything else.
"Um... I just have that thought..." Li Wenxi looked away guiltily, then said, "Isn't it good? You come to intimidate them, so I can manage them better. I really can't control those survivors, especially those who were forced to come from other areas. What's the point of intimidation or inducement... It's too troublesome!"
"Of course not," Xu Xin said helplessly, "If you come here to parasitize, you and they are both parasitic tree houses, why should they listen to you?"
"If you have it, just tell them: 'Whoever dares not listen to Li Wenxi, I will kill him!'" Li Wenxi pointed at the furnace in front of him with his hands on his hips, and said in a rough voice, imitating Xu Xin's tone.
Xu Xin was so angry that he laughed: "You guy, do you know how restrictive the parasitic tree house is?"
"Ah? Isn't it just that my functions will be restricted? You won't restrict my functions, right?" Li Wenxi said indifferently.
This little rich woman really wants to give it away for free...
To be honest, when Li Wenxi said that she wanted to have a transplant, he was really a little moved.
If she was really transplanted here, it would be equivalent to being completely restricted by him. The mysterious voice also said that survivors without a tree house would not be able to survive in this world. Although I don’t know what will happen, whether it is a normal tree house or a parasitic tree house, there must be one.
If Li Wenxi parasitizes the tree house to him, it means that life and death are under his control and he cannot escape from his palm at all. It is basically equivalent to becoming his person.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't moved by this beautiful girl whom he has always liked.
But... changing from a normal tree house to a parasitic tree house is more than just being restricted.
"If you really come, I have all your rights. I can control my roots to enter and exit your tree house at any time, check your tree house screen, check your call records, and even easily break into your bedroom and get into your bed!"
"Ah? Entering the tree house? Reading the records? Breaking into the bedroom? Going up..." Li Wenxi was immediately dumbfounded. "Ji Chaoyang didn't mention these things on the regional channel that time?"
"Of course he didn't say that. If he had, then there would be very few people who would want to come, especially you women! Who would want someone to be able to enter their room at any time?"
"Hmm... it won't be much less, right? In this world, there are still many women who want to exchange their bodies for safety, right?" Li Wenxi pointed at his lips with a finger and thought.
Xu Xin: “…”
He really didn't expect these words to come out of Li Wenxi's mouth, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her became strange.
"Oh, Sister Xuefei said this to me when we were chatting!" Li Wenxi blushed when she saw Xu Xin's eyes, "I didn't mean that!"
… What did Qi Xuefei talk about with Li Wenxi
"Ordinary women may still be able to survive," Xu Xin explained helplessly, "but those who have survived so many cruel events are not the kind of people who have to rely on others to survive. Now, the survivors in our area are more likely to survive because we helped them many times and saved their lives. They trust us and want to cooperate and survive together."
"But, as long as the main tree house survives, the parasitic tree house will be resurrected even if it is destroyed again. This is a super strong guarantee for survival! I feel that as long as the owner of the main tree house is strong enough, it would be a good idea to be his parasitic tree house." Li Wenxi seemed to be a little yearning for the parasitic tree house.
A tree house that can regenerate at will does sound pretty impressive. Xu Xin and his team also rely on this to attract survivors from the same area, but...
"What if the main tree house dies?"
"Then... let's die together! If you, the strongest one, are dead, who can survive?"
"No, I won't die, because I can still dig out seeds from my tree house, and I can be reborn. But the other parasitic tree houses will die completely with the death of the main tree house, because the parasitic tree houses can no longer be transplanted." Xu Xin explained to her patiently.
This is a life and also a way out.
Even if they are defeated, the person with a normal tree house can surrender to the other side with the seeds, but the person with a parasitic tree house is doomed to die.
Although this way of retreat sounds despicable, Xu Xin still doesn't want to cut off Li Wenxi's retreat.
“…Ah, so that’s it…” Li Wenxi understood what Xu Xin meant and breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that he rejected her for her own good! She thought she would be rejected even if she gave herself to him for free...
From this point of view, a normal tree house is indeed better...
"Of course, if one day your tree house is destroyed and has to be relocated, I would still welcome you to come," Xu Xin said with a smile.
