Taking a final look at the bottomless calm lake, although Xu Xin was worried that the giant hole at the bottom of the lake would continue to expand, there was nothing he could do. In the end, he could only sigh and walk back holding Coco.
Back at the coal mine, Aifei had been digging for a long time and the mine was full of coal, but she still didn't stop digging.
"Okay, my beloved, that's all for now!" Xu Xin quickly stopped his beloved.
The beloved let out a cry of lingering satisfaction. It seemed that it had a special liking for mining and regarded it as a hobby to develop its energy.
During this hour, my beloved concubine expanded the coal mine a lot. The ground was full of coal, and each piece contained at least tens of thousands of pieces.
This efficiency is really high!
It took Xu Xin a long time to collect all the coal on the ground into his backpack, a total of 26,534 pieces of coal!
More than 20,000 yuan!
Although this much was unexpected, it was also reasonable. After all, these coal mines were easy to mine. He could mine more than a dozen pieces with just a pickaxe. Ai Fei was much more efficient than him. It was normal for her to mine more than 20,000 pieces in an hour.
Fortunately, he now has a purple-level backpack, otherwise he wouldn't be able to carry all this coal at once.
However, although more than 20,000 pieces of coal may seem like a lot, they are actually used up very quickly. Each steel fire requires 25 pieces of coal, and Li Wenxi's furnace is also constantly using coal, so the consumption rate is extremely fast.
Since the beloved concubine was not tired of digging and wanted to dig more, Xu Xin let her continue digging for another hour and wait for him to collect it in the evening.
The beloved concubine cried out and went back into the mine to continue digging.
Xu Xin walked towards the tree house.
At this time, Lou Feier was already standing under the tree, leaning on Silver King, and checking her watch.
On the back of the Silver King, there was a man tied up tightly and seemed to be unconscious.
Isn’t that Leyoufang
Wow, they knocked him out and tied him up
Seeing Xu Xin coming back, Lou Feier waved to him quickly: "You're finally back. I've been back for almost half an hour!"
When she came back, Xu Xin was still in the water. She didn't know where Xu Xin was and didn't dare to run around. She could only wait for him to come back under the tree house.
"Are you... going to dig coal?"
When Xu Xin approached, Lou Feier looked at him with a strange expression, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
Although he had not been mining just now, he had just come out of the lake and his body was still wet. Then he went into the mine, so his body was naturally all black from coal, especially his hands and feet.
"嘤?" Coco jumped off Xu Xin's shoulder and onto the Silver King's back. She pushed Le Youfang's head with her little paws and then started talking to the Silver King in a "嘤嘤嘤" voice.
"How did you solve it? You knocked him out directly. Didn't you explain the situation to him?" Xu Xin frowned as he looked at Le Youfang on the wolf's back.
"No," Lou Feier shook her head, "I directly entered his tree house relying on my status as one of the top ten in District 187. I convinced him with my virtue and then told him the real situation. He didn't want to die, so I brought him back."
"To win people over with virtue?"
"The name of my dagger is De!" Lou Feier pointed to the dagger on her waist.
Xu Xin: "... Tell me what's going on with him."
"Oh, this guy is an angry young man in Area 187. He especially likes to talk in the regional channel and likes to stir up the emotions of other survivors. I have seen his name several times. This time, I had a 'chat' with him and found out that it was actually Zhang Daoguang who instructed him to do this in the regional channel."
The leader of the internet troll army in District 187.
"I asked him whether he wanted to live or die. He knew what was happening and agreed to come along without much of a struggle."
"Then why did he faint?" Xu Xin pointed at Le Youfang who was still lying motionless on the wolf's back with some confusion.
Huh? Did it move
"Oh, I have to bring him back. I don't want him to sit on the back and hug me, so I had to tie him to the wolf's back. But this guy refused to agree, so I had no choice but to knock him out." Lou Feier shrugged, indicating that she was helpless.
Xu Xin walked to the side of the Silver King.
Le Youfang's breathing had become somewhat erratic and his heartbeat was speeding up.
Obviously, he has woken up.
"Untie him."
"Oh, okay." Lou Feier touched her waist with her right hand, a cold light flashed, and the rope on Le Youfang's body was cut off and scattered on the ground.
Le Youfang also knew that the other party had discovered that he was awake, and he looked up awkwardly and said, "Um, hello, I... Shit! Aren't you... Brother Xu Feng? What? So you are Boss Xu Xin!"
Le Youfang was stunned the moment he saw Xu Xin. He immediately propped himself up from the wolf's back and widened his eyes.
He was deeply impressed by Xu Xin's face. After all, he was the first person he met in this world and the only person he met before Lou Feier came today. In addition, Xu Xin's face was easy to remember, so he had a very deep impression of him.
No wonder I felt this person’s voice sounded familiar just now!
"Haven't you been smearing people from other regions in the regional channel? Why are you calling him big boss now?" Lou Feier stood half a step behind Xu Xin and looked at Le Youfang with some amusement. In fact, she had long been fed up with this guy who fanned the flames in the regional channel.
"Hey, it was Zhang Daoguang who gave me the resources and asked me to do that." Le Youfang scratched his head and said, "I used to be very friendly to people from other regions. Brother Xu Feng... No, Elder Xu Xin had met me before, but he knew my attitude at that time."
Indeed, he was very friendly to Xu Xin at that time, and Xu Xin made him come down from the tree house with just a few words.
"I also believed what Zhang Daoguang said. I thought that we were in a life-and-death relationship with the survivors from other areas, so this happened. But since a big boss like Sister Fei'er from our area is following a big boss from other areas, Xu Xin, doesn't that mean Zhang Daoguang is talking nonsense?" Le Youfang said with a bit of dissatisfaction, "That guy, wouldn't he just want to prevent us from interacting with the people from other areas, and then take the opportunity to strengthen himself, right?"
This guy has a really rich imagination.
But, Sister Fei'er? Xu Xin glanced at Lou Fei'er beside him.
It made her acknowledge him as her younger brother.
“What’s wrong…” Lou Feier saw Xu Xin looking at her and looked at him innocently.
"By the way," she took out a tree house seed and a tree house core from her backpack and handed them to Xu Xin with both hands, "This is his seed and core, for you."
Seeing her lowering her head and presenting her hands to him, Xu Xin wanted to laugh. It seemed that the five-minute bracelet space punishment today had made her a lot more obedient.
"You take it first." Xu Xin did not take it, but asked Le Youfang, "Do you have any special abilities?"
"Special ability?" Le Youfang asked in confusion. "What do you mean? Special skills? I'm good at being a network troll and a shill. Does that count as a special ability?"
It seems that he has no special abilities and should be an ordinary person like Li Yajun.
Since he has no special abilities, I won't let him stay with me. I'll leave him to Li Wenxi to go mining. There are only two women on her side, including herself, and they are very short of labor.
Xu Xin immediately made a teleportation card for Le Youfang and handed it to him.
"What is this?" Le Youfang looked at the sign curiously. "It has my name and portrait on it? A dog tag? Am I a warrior too?"
The "dog tag" he mentioned is naturally not the tag that dogs wear, but another name for the military identification tag.
"What are you thinking about? This is a teleport card..." Lou Feier was stunned when she said this, and turned to look at Xu Xin, "You don't want me to take him to Li Wenxi, do you?"
"Teleport hand cards?" Le Youfang was a little stunned.
"That's right." Xu Xin nodded, "Give the seeds and core to Li Wenxi, and then the two of you go help her immediately."
"Ah..." Lou Fei'er felt a little depressed, "I have to teleport again..."
"I'll go with you guys, wait a moment."
He wanted to go to the special area to the north of Li Wenxi's tree house to kill the stronger vines. Not only would he get more points, but he would also get more vine juice.
Moreover, Li Wenxi's tree house is closer to the edge of the reserve. The scope of his tree house reserve was nine kilometers after the defense battle. After the banyan trees were planted, because the root system was strengthened, it was unknown how much more it had expanded. In comparison, Li Wenxi's side was much closer, only six kilometers.
However, the vines over there are very strong and can even briefly enter the protected area to attack, so he has to bring Mimi and Afu with him.
Xu Xin grabbed the roots of the vines and entered the tree house.
He did not smelt the copper ore himself. The efficiency of his furnace was too low. It might take half an hour to smelt a piece of copper ore successfully. He did not have the time to wait here for the copper ore to come out of the furnace.
And it cannot be upgraded or more goods can be produced.
Just give it all to Li Wenxi and let her smelt it. When he comes back, he can take the finished copper block to check the effect.
Xu Xin first sent a voice message to Li Wenxi, telling her the situation and then traded the copper ore to her.
"Copper ore? And new labor? I'm still outside and can't accept the deal. Let's go back now!" Li Wenxi was a little surprised.
Although she herself was somewhat reluctant to manage the people from other areas, since they were brought by Xu Xin, there should be no problem, so she gladly accepted.
Xu Xin brought Mimi and Afu down.
The two mutant creatures naturally frightened Le Youfang, who was trembling and unable to speak.
"Let's go." Xu Xin brought them to the coordinates and activated the portal.
Before Le Youfang could react, he was pushed into the portal by Xu Xin and disappeared after a scream.
They followed suit and stepped in.
Xu Xin was the last one to step in, so when he stepped on the ground, many people had already fainted.
Although Le Youfang felt dizzy, he was so shocked that he sat up from the ground: "Where is this? Teleporting hand cards... Was that a portal just now? Ugh..."
"Remember not to throw away the cards in your hand, otherwise you won't be able to teleport." Xu Xin pointed to the cards in his hand.
“I understand! Ugh…” Le Youfang tightly grasped the cards in his hand and lay on the ground again.
"Hmm!" Coco, who had been lying on the Silver King's back, jumped down and began to move back and forth between the people and animals lying on the ground.
A few minutes later, Li Wenxi came back, riding her Aniu.
"Wow, he's lying on the ground again!" Li Wenxi hurried over and helped Lou Feier up.
"Well... Wenxi... I'm here to help you mine..." Although Lou Fei'er felt uncomfortable, she still forced a smile at Li Wenxi, then handed her the tree house seed and tree house core, and pointed to Le Youfang who was sitting on the ground and said, "These are his tree house seeds and core."
… It’s time to build a small wooden house here to grow red mist flowers. It takes so long to recover every time I teleport, it’s really too troublesome.
Li Wenxi also saw Leyoufang on the ground: "Is this the new partner? The tree house hasn't been planted yet. Why not plant it over there?"
"I'll give it to you." Xu Xin shook his head.
He plans to only accept survivors with special abilities. Even if they don't have abilities, they must be extremely strong, and each of them must be bound by his contract.
Forget about Le Youfang, it would be more appropriate for him to be a laborer.
"Okay, then I'll take them all." Li Wenxi didn't continue to be pretentious, "Wait a moment, I'll go plant the tree house first!"
Soon, their side effects had subsided. Li Wenxi also planted Le Youfang's tree house not far from Li Yajun's tree house, and then went back to the tree house to store the resources. This time she came back and brought back all the saltpeter ore that she had just dug up.
"Too powerful... The teleportation array is too powerful, Area 188 is invincible!" Le Youfang regained his vitality at this time, his eyes were shining, "Sister Fei'er, I really thank you for bringing me here!"
"Right, then follow me from now on... No, follow the master and the mistress and work hard, and you will live a very comfortable life." Lou Feier patted Le Youfang's shoulder.
"Madam? Madam is the one just now..."
"That's right, you will follow the mistress to mine in the future."
"Master is so lucky! I love mining!"
Xu Xin shook his head: "Just call me Brother Xin, don't call me master, you didn't sign a contract with me. You belong to Wen Xi now, not to me."
"Brother Xin is awesome! Long live Brother Xin!"
Li Wenxi swung down from the tree house and saw that they were all fine. He said to Xu Xin, "I have already smelted all the copper ore you gave me. The speed is about one piece every five minutes. You will have a lot when you come back! Then I will take them away. You should be careful too. The mutant creatures there are very dangerous."
"Don't worry, with Mimi and Afu here this time, there will be no problem." Xu Xin is very confident in Mimi and Afu's abilities.
As a canine, the Silver King's only means of attack is biting. Its attack method is single and very limited. Although it is an excellent mount, it will be a bit stretched when dealing with vines.
In comparison, Mimi and Afu are much more flexible. One can use both claws and mouth, and the other uses voice. They have no problem killing vines that are not intermediate mutant creatures.
"Well, I'm relieved. You all come with me. Let's go dig for saltpeter!"
"Mining!" Le Youfang was not at all decadent like a prisoner, but rather very excited.
Lou Feier also went straight up and hugged Li Wenxi's arm, acting very intimately.
Xu Xin rode on the wolf's back, touched the big tail of Coco who had been lying on the wolf's back for a long time, and headed towards the north.
Mimi immediately followed them, carrying Ah Fu on her back.
The one man and four animals quickly shuttled through the jungle, and soon they reached the edge of the protected area.
"嘤!" Coco pushed Xu Xin with her little paw, indicating that they could not go forward anymore because there was a dangerous area ahead.
Very good, then, let’s start hunting!
