He walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside.
The cold wind blew past, causing Xu Xin, who was wearing thin clothes in the house, to shiver slightly.
Although the temperature has risen, it is only about twenty degrees below zero compared to other areas.
The wind is in the single digits and it is still very cold.
This winter will only be truly over after activating the thirty snow mountain formations.
However, he didn't want this cold winter to end so soon.
After all, after the cold winter is over, the reward for them in Area 188, which allows them to avoid being attacked in dangerous areas, will disappear.
I think that the areas that received the rewards probably don’t want the severe winter to end too quickly.
This reward is really insidious.
He clicked on the leaderboard.
Today, the number of people climbing the snow mountain has increased to 18.
There have been no more additions to District 188, District 1, and District 23. It’s people from other areas who have reached the top.
In their first three areas, the talents capable of climbing the snow mountains have basically been used up.
Unless they run 70 or 80 kilometers to climb another snow mountain, it will be difficult for new climbers to emerge in these three areas.
But that would be too troublesome. They haven't even dealt with their own snow peak yet, so naturally they won't climb other snow peaks.
Even Xu Xin and the others were too lazy to climb.
After all, the nearby Snow Peak Formation would be of little use even if it was activated.
At most, it will be on the list.
There is really no need to sacrifice your life for this.
That's an activity that could potentially kill people!
Therefore, he placed high hopes on Niu Fugui, who was very far away from them.
I hope he can succeed.
He would provide him with the strongest protection and only hoped that he would not escape.
As for the Snow Mountain Array...
So far, there are still only these two in District 188.
It is still too difficult to find a shortcut entrance through the four or five meters thick snow layer.
Xu Xin decided that tomorrow, if Niu Fugui successfully climbed to the top, after giving him purple-level red berries, he would put three extra-large (purple) red berries on the world channel and explain their uses.
If the snow continues to pile up in other areas, it will be really difficult to end this winter.
He doesn't want to encounter any "terrible things".
It's time to help them.
Now, the regional channels are quite harmonious.
The survivors who successfully found a place to escape are showing off, while the survivors who failed to find a place to escape are madly envious.
"Wow, you didn't see how Brother Xin killed the wolves. He was so powerful!"
"That's right! Brother Xin just took out a glowing ball, and the surrounding wolves didn't dare to get close at all! Then an explosive crossbow accidentally blew up a hairy mutant monster, and the whole wolf pack was in chaos! Then he chopped a mutant wolf in half with a halberd. It was so cool!"
"Fuck, our sister Gui Xin is really strong, okay? You have to know that sister Gui Xin is personally recognized by the two elders Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang as the strongest fighter among the explorers! My sister Gui Xin didn't even do anything, she just reached out and touched a wolf, and the wolf pack began to rebel like a wave. The scene was so magical that it cannot be described in words!"
"Huh? Elder Ji Chaoyang is also very strong! He..."
"And there is Master Wang Lei! I would like to call Master Wang Lei the God of Power! He..."
A bunch of people spontaneously boasted about the strength of the Explorer members on the regional channel.
Ji Chaoyang said in the explorer group that they should keep an eye on them and it would be best not to let them talk nonsense about their abilities on the world channel.
Therefore, they are restricted from showing off on world channels and can only express their feelings crazily on regional channels.
"Why do I feel like you are talking nonsense?" someone questioned.
"It seems like you are a troll army. Aren't you exaggerating too much?"
"Yes, no matter how powerful the explorer's boss is, he can't be so exaggerated, right?"
"Huh? The explorer boss still needs water army? Are you kidding me!"
"These days, no one believes the truth anymore? This is such a sad time..."
"Whether it's true or not, why don't you come and see for yourself?"
Xu Xin watched the discussions, laughed and shook his head.
Although what these survivors said was true, it is hard to believe if you just listen to their stories without actually seeing it.
They asked themselves, if it were him, without knowing Wen Guixin's abilities, he would not believe their description of the scene in which Wen Guixin hunted wolves with overwhelming power.
It's really exaggerated.
He was worried that if their abilities were spread outside the region, they might be too high-profile and stand out from the crowd.
But now it seems that he was overthinking it.
People in our own area are skeptical, let alone people from other areas.
They will just think that this statement is bragging.
Because they are too strong, so strong that it seems fake.
Of course, this intensity is only relative.
Even though they are so strong, they still have no absolute certainty of being able to defeat the pterosaur statue.
At present, the pterosaur statue is relatively stable.
They have a lot of things to do, so it's better not to provoke them for the time being.
Let’s first resolve the issues in Area 187, and then go over there and try to deal with the pterosaurs.
Meanwhile, on the world channel, the popularity of purple-grade steel armor has not stopped, and is even getting more intense.
Zhao Xiaochuan, Wang Lei and others had already put the transaction that was hanging up.
But although they no longer pin their trades to the top, several people on the list from other regions have started to pin their trades to the top.
It's not just the three people in District 1 and District 23. Almost all the areas on the list have people who have pinned their transactions.
They were all asking about the purple-grade steel armor, and they all wanted to make a deal with the explorer.
After all, blue-level metal resources are available at will, and even purple-level metal resources are abundant. This is exactly the scene in their dreams.
However, after their discussion among the explorers, none of them responded that day.
Hang it first.
Anyway, it’s not the explorers who are in a hurry.
Unless the explorers are given something they don't have and unless they bleed a little, the explorers will not help the enemy.
After all, regional confrontation still exists.
Objectively speaking, they are still enemies.
At this moment, his watch vibrated.
I raised my hand and saw that it was a private message from Li Wenxi.
"Quick, give me a voice message and tell them you need my help!"
Um
Xu Xin blinked, understood the meaning of this sentence, and then made a voice call.
"Hello? Xu Xin? What's going on?" Li Wenxi's voice was filled with doubt, as if he was completely unaware of the situation.
"... Do you have a lot of green-grade steel blocks?" Xu Xin asked.
"Ah? Steel blocks? What... Oh, green-grade steel blocks? Yes... um... it seems there aren't many. What do you want green-grade steel blocks for?" Li Wenxi was really confused this time.
Green grade steel blocks and blue grade steel blocks are smelted separately.
One steel fire can smelt one blue-grade steel block, but can only smelt five green-grade steel blocks.
Generally speaking, the value between green level and blue level is dozens of times different.
But the smelting cost is only five times higher, which makes the cost-effectiveness of green-grade steel blocks very low.
Therefore, Li Wenxi usually does not melt green-grade steel blocks.
However, there are piles of green-grade iron blocks.
"I want to equip all the survivors who come to seek refuge with blue-grade steel armor. Making blue-grade steel armor requires a large amount of green-grade steel blocks."
"Is that so? Then I will go and smelt it for you now." Li Wenxi said.
"Not really. It's so late now. Just come over here. I need your help with something here."
"Oh oh oh okay, I'll be there right away! I have important things to do, everyone, just be on your own..."
Having said that, she hung up the call.
"… "
Are they still having a welcome party over there
It's almost ten o'clock...
Although I can understand that these people have been alone for so long, now they have finally met other survivors and are about to start living together, they are very excited...
But this party lasted too long.
No wonder Li Wenxi sent him a message, trying to find an excuse to run away.
If it were him, he would run away too.
At this time, the sound of a portal was heard outside the tree house.
The sound of roots being manipulated came from under the tree house, and Li Wenxi crawled into the tree house.
"Wow! It's finally over!"
Looking at Li Wenxi who rushed to him right after entering the tree house, Xu Xin pinched her cheek and said, "What's going on over there? It's already this late, and you're still hanging out together?"
"Isn't it! It's still there!" Li Wenxi grabbed his hand, turned over and sat up from the sofa.
She leaned against Xu Xin, poked the egg that had jumped next to her at some point, then leaned back on the sofa, and her whole body suddenly went limp.
"Those people have been busy all day, but they are still so energetic! I have also been digging in the mines all day today, and I want to rest early!" She slumped on the sofa, with a hint of resentment in her tone.
Xu Xin laughed: "Why don't you just end it? Or run away on your own. Do you have to go with them?"
"Oh, I had a lot of fun playing with them at the beginning..." She said a little embarrassedly, "It's not a good idea to leave when you're tired. Besides, they insisted that I tell them about the process of the explorers getting to where they are now, and they can't do without me."
Well, another person who won’t say no.
"Besides, Yajun has told them that after having fun tonight, they will start working tomorrow. They all agreed, so I can't deny them the fun..."
Li Wenxi fell down and lay on his legs.
"Besides, that guy Le Youfang has been stirring up the atmosphere, making everyone so excited. How can I say that it's over?"
Li Wenxi thought about this and gritted his teeth: "I have used my eyes to hint to that guy not to do this more than once, but he never listened and instead became even worse. I am really pissed off!"
"Is there a possibility that he misunderstood what you meant?" Xu Xin said, trying not to laugh.
“… Humph! If you hadn’t asked me to leave, it would have taken a long time to end! You’re so nice that you didn’t want anyone. It’s so comfortable!” Li Wenxi sighed.
It has to be said that Xu Xin doesn't want other people to parasitize him, and the reason of "too troublesome" accounts for a large proportion.
At this moment, Li Wenxi's watch vibrated.
She clicked on it and immediately became furious: "It's over if I leave, right? I'm so pissed!"
"Now that you, the core figure, have left, of course it's over." Xu Xin said with a smile.
"I'm so tired. From now on, I'm going to let Yajun do all this kind of work. I want to be a hands-off boss!"
Li Wenxi lay on his legs, looking a little annoyed.
"I'm already exhausted from leading them to mine during the day. I want to rest. I don't want to work 996! Humph, I'm going to lead them to mine all day tomorrow. Let's see if they still have the energy to hold a party!"
Xu Xin lowered his head and looked at Li Wenxi: "We are already busy, why don't we work overtime tonight?"
“…Okay~”
Although both of them were tired after a long day, there were some things they still had the energy to do.
