When I opened my eyes again, three hours had passed.
I raised my wrist to check the time. It wasn't too late, around ten in the morning.
The moment he opened his eyes, a reminder sound rang in his ears.
It is detected that the decoration degree of the tree house is greater than 1000, and today's random enhancement is obtained: vision enhancement, the effect lasts for one day, and the second enhancement can be selected in the historical enhancement.
At the same time, you can choose a survivor who has slept for three hours in the tree house and will receive a random enhancement.
A familiar voice, I haven't heard it for several days.
The familiar cool feeling rushed to his eyes, making his vision very strong again.
Xu Xin looked out the window.
He could see clearly the edge of Crystal City and outside Crystal City a few kilometers away.
"In the future, I'd better take a nap when I have time." Xu Xin rolled over from the bed and said to himself, "The difference between being capable and not being capable is simply too big."
However, he almost forgot that he could also give a random amplification to another person.
Today sleeping in his tree house...
It should be only Shi Wanyun, right
Shi Wanyun’s own tree house has the ability to randomly amplify, and she should be very familiar with random amplification.
After tidying up his clothes, Xu Xin walked out of his room.
The door to the second bedroom was ajar, leaving a gap as wide as a fist.
"… ? She's awake already?"
Xu Xin walked to the door and looked inside through the gap.
Shi Wanyun was still sleeping soundly in bed.
She was covered with a thin quilt, and judging from her exposed shoulders, she must have taken off her clothes.
Is this... have you been sleeping till now
Xu Xin manipulated the watch and found that it allowed her to gain the ability of random amplification.
In other words, she had slept for more than three hours.
It seems that she has been sleeping until now.
Looking at her appearance at this moment, although she was asleep, her expression was not relaxed, but her brows were slightly furrowed.
"Um… "
He also let out a light hum.
"Hmm..."
Coco's voice was heard from inside the house.
Xu Xin was slightly startled.
Why is Coco in there
He gently pushed the door open and saw Coco standing up, with her front paws on the edge of the bed, looking at the sleeping Shi Wanyun's face.
As soon as Xu Xin pushed the door open, it immediately looked back. Seeing that it was Xu Xin, it immediately ran over and climbed onto Xu Xin's body: "Ying!"
"What are you doing here?" Xu Xin rubbed the little guy's head and asked softly.
No wonder the door was open, it seemed like Coco opened it.
The little guy stood up and jumped up just enough to reach the door handle.
"Oh oh!" Coco cried twice and waved her little paws.
Even though Xu Xin and Keke made quite a bit of noise, Shi Wanyun still didn't wake up.
She just rubbed the pillow and continued to sleep.
It seems that the two previous memory transfers and the fear that the memories brought her really made her too mentally exhausted.
"Go out first."
Xu Xin glanced at her, stepped out of the second bedroom, and gently closed the door for her.
At this time, Shi Wanyun's eyelids trembled slightly twice, and she half opened her eyes and glanced at the door.
Then she gently pulled the quilt to cover her exposed shoulders, closed her eyes, and continued to sleep.
Outside the house, Xu Xin was sitting on the sofa holding Coco.
"You mean, you felt something was wrong in the house, so you went in to check?"
Xu Xin asked Keke with some confusion.
"Hmm!" Coco nodded her little head.
"Abnormal... What kind of abnormality? Is it dangerous?"
"Bing." Coco shook her head, then waved her paws twice, "Bing!"
"It's not dangerous, it's just a little strange, and it attracts you."
“Hmm.”
"Because of Shi Wanyun?"
"Hmm!" Coco wagged her tail.
Xu Xin glanced at the second bedroom, the door of which he had already closed.
Could it be that she is hiding something
… Never mind. This alone doesn’t prove anything. Maybe Keke is closer to Shi Wanyun, so she went into her room.
He can't always doubt the people around him, otherwise he won't be able to trust anyone.
That's too tiring.
Shi Wanyun's ability was certified by Yingying, and she had also seen everything she had experienced at that time.
She can be trusted.
As for whether she is hiding something, it doesn’t matter.
There are always some things that people don't want others to know.
For example, he had never told anyone else about his ability to listen to the voices of the indigenous people of this world.
… etc
The voice of the indigenous people...
Xu Xin suddenly felt something was not right.
Isn't this the Earth
Aren’t they, the survivors, considered the indigenous people of the Earth
Although they traveled here from thousands of years ago, they are also from Earth.
Could it be that the term "indigenous people" does not mean a trace of Earth's creatures, but...
Is there no living being who has ever experienced time travel
He can only listen to the voices of those beings who have not experienced time travel.
is that so
…very likely.
He looked down at Coco in his arms.
This little guy couldn't be read by him.
"Hmm?" The little guy tilted his head and his two furry ears moved.
If his speculation was correct...
Has this little guy also experienced time travel
"Keke, you... aren't a bear from this era."
Xu Xin suddenly asked.
"Hmm?!" Coco's ears, which had been moving around, suddenly stopped.
…This reaction is so obvious.
Then it shook its little head again and denied it calmly: "嘤."
It looked like he reacted in a split second and then started acting him.
"You little guy, you didn't think I didn't see your reaction just now, did you?" Xu Xin rubbed its ears unhappily, "Your reaction just now has already explained everything."
If it really wasn't, it should have tilted its head in confusion after hearing Xu Xin's question.
After all, if someone suddenly asks another person, "You are not from this era, are you?", everyone would think, what is this guy talking about
"Hmm...?" The little fellow seemed to know what he was thinking, and tilted his head again and called out in confusion.
It seems to be saying, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.
"So, which time and space did you travel from?" Xu Xin didn't care whether it was pretending to be stupid or not, and asked directly.
He's basically confirmed.
The so-called "natives" in his ability introduction are creatures from this period who have not experienced time travel.
And this little guy in my arms...
It’s not that simple!
It seemed that Keke couldn't hide it anymore, so she buried her little head in Xu Xin's arms and let out a muffled cry: "Ying..."
For the next ten minutes, Xu Xin tried every possible way to get it to explain, using threats and inducements, but the little guy just wouldn't say anything.
But it didn't run away. It just buried its head in Xu Xin's arms, and made a muffled cry from time to time.
In the end, Xu Xin could only shake his head helplessly.
"Then I just want to ask one question, Coco, are you... here to help me?" Xu Xin lowered his head and asked softly.
"Ying!" Coco immediately raised her little head from his arms, "Ying!"
"That's good." Xu Xin touched its head, "Whenever you want to tell me, then tell me."
“Oh!”
He had no idea what kind of creature Coco was, but after living with it for so long, he knew that this little guy would never harm him.
That's enough.
"By the way... Yingying doesn't seem to recognize you either." Xu Xin looked at Keke, "You are such a mysterious little guy, where did you come from?"
"Bing!"
Coco jumped out of Xu Xin's arms, stood up and raised her two little paws towards him, as if she wanted to scare him, then turned around and ran upstairs to eat fruit.
"This little guy..."
Xu Xin laughed helplessly.
Forget it, let it go.
He stretched his body and stood up.
Since no one contacted him to get him up in these three hours, it means nothing happened.
However, there is no point in staying in the tree house all the time, so let's go out and take a look.
When he came down from the tree house, he saw several trees as thick as thighs on the ground not far away.
"Is this what Qin Fu just planted?"
Xu Xin was a little surprised.
It's only been three hours, right
It grows up so fast.
They are now unable to obtain anything from the points mall. The fertilizer that was once readily available is now inaccessible to them.
In other words, these trees grew so fast on their own.
No…
It should be Qin Fu’s ability.
His ability as the Elf King can stimulate the growth of plants.
Speaking of which…
This is the Empress and the Elf King. Who came up with the names of these abilities
He was too immature, so he actually believed that there was some supernatural power in this world at first.
The result is just that the skills that biochips bring to people are still technological capabilities.
but…
The ability to travel through time and space is already considered a superpower.
A map appeared in his mind, and friendly green dots of light were scattered throughout the Crystal City.
Not enough, no one came out of the city.
He now has extraordinary eyesight, and at a glance he spotted a person not far away.
He walked over.
"Ah, Brother Xin!"
He was a survivor who was planting trees. When he saw Xu Xin, he immediately greeted him.
"Did Qin Fu ask you to do this?" Xu Xin pointed at the tree seeds in his hand.
"That's right." The survivor nodded. "We all know what Elder Qin Fu is capable of. Planting trees is like a camera, which can ensure our safety. So everyone is taking action now."
really.
Now looking around, you can see a small growing tree every few dozen meters on the road.
On the farther edge of Crystal City, the trees are even denser, with one tree every ten meters or so, which is basically the same density as urban greening.
The originally crystal white city looks full of vitality with the green color.
Not to mention the safety, just the visual aspect makes people feel a lot more comfortable.
"I understand. Go ahead and get busy."
Xu Xin said goodbye to the man and walked towards Ma Hongwei's tree house.
I wonder how Ma Hongwei’s research is going
Before he walked over, he saw Zeng Tao slumped over the window with his hands shaking from a distance.
What is this doing
He walked over quickly.
Zeng Tao raised her head at this time, with a look of despair on her face.
… It was like the expression of a college student who had never attended a class while doing advanced mathematics problems.
It was no longer confusion, but complete bewilderment.
She also saw Xu Xin, and her eyes lit up and she flipped out of the window.
With a "bang", it fell to the ground and then rushed towards him.
"Xu Xin, save me!"
At the moment she jumped down, Ma Hongwei's roar came from the tree house: "Come up here and figure out this blueprint for me!"
There were hurried footsteps in the tree house, and then he saw Ma Hongwei's head popping out of the window.
"I have simplified the blueprint for you! Why are you still... Brother Xin?... You are here."
Ma Hongwei took a deep breath and forced a smile.
But the veins on his forehead showed how he felt at the moment.
“Wow… I don’t want to learn anymore!”
Zeng Tao hid behind Xu Xin: "Xu Xin, save me, I'm not cut out for researching weapons!"
Xu Xin glanced at her, then looked at Ma Hongwei who was holding his forehead by the window, and seemed to understand something.
"Let's go, I'll go up and take a look too."
"No!" Zeng Tao screamed.
Xu Xin looked at the new drawing made by Ma Hongwei.
“This is indeed… a lot simpler.”
Xu Xin exclaimed.
If the original drawing showed all the internal and external structures of the weapon stacked together, with densely packed text and numerical annotations, then this drawing would be much simpler.
There are basically no annotations, and even the structure seems a lot simpler. Basically, as long as you have a rich enough spatial imagination, it is not difficult to understand it.
"Right!" Ma Hongwei couldn't help but say, "I've simplified it to this extent, even the power of the weapon has been greatly reduced, but she...!"
Ma Hongwei looked at Zeng Tao who was hiding behind Xu Xin: "She still doesn't understand!"
At this time, Ma Hongwei was like a parent who was helping his child with homework.
No matter how you teach, the child just can't do it. No matter how hard you try, he just can't learn. He doesn't want to learn and just wants to run away.
This immediately made him furious.
Zeng Tao hid behind Xu Xin and stuck half of her head out: "I just don't understand! What can I do!"
"It's already so simple, why don't you understand it!"
"I just can't understand it. The lines you drew are so messy, who knows what they are!" Zeng Tao grinned at Ma Hongwei.
Xu Xin completely understood the reason and looked at Zeng Tao behind him.
"If you want her to make a weapon, she must figure out the structure of the weapon herself."
Xu Xin had a headache.
No wonder she could only make that kind of big sword before.
It turns out that the structure of the broadsword is very simple. As long as the appearance is correct, the inside is solid.
But thermal weapons are not that simple, the structure inside is much more sophisticated.
This made the stupid little girl dizzy.
"I... I really don't understand..."
Zeng Tao saw Xu Xin's eyes and immediately shrank her head: "It's too difficult..."
“It’s hard but we have to learn it!”
Ma Hongwei slammed the table.
He no longer had the somewhat cold attitude he had before, as if he had returned to the same personality he had when Xu Xin first met him.
"Only you can make this kind of weapon. If you can make it, it will greatly improve our combat power! But your attitude is not right! You don't even listen to what I say, and you even want to escape!"
He was even a little frustrated.
It seems that tutoring children can indeed drive people insane.
"Well, I know, but..."
Zeng Tao's eyes turned red, she pursed her lips, pulled at Xu Xin's clothes, and sniffed.
Oh my goodness, this side is also going to cry.
"Alright, alright." Xu Xin quickly put down his hand to calm Ma Hongwei down. "How can a teacher like you be so excited? The more excited you are, the less likely she will listen."
"I..." Ma Hongwei took a deep breath, "Brother Xin is right."
Xu Xin nodded, then turned around and gently patted Zeng Tao's head behind him, "Okay, don't feel wronged, you are so old now."
“I just don’t understand…”
"If you don't understand, you can learn. Your ability is unique in our organization. Only you can do this."
“Hmm…” Zeng Tao covered her head which was patted by Xu Xin several times and lowered her head.
"You two, don't worry." Xu Xin said with a smile, "We won't leave here for a while, so don't rush to make this weapon. Take your time."
Ma Hongwei sighed: "I'm not in a hurry..."
"You're not in a hurry."
"I...but she doesn't even want to listen to me and is always distracted. There's nothing I can do." Ma Hongwei looked helpless.
"Zeng Tao." Xu Xin looked at Zeng Tao.
“Hmm…” Zeng Tao still lowered her head.
"How about this, I'll make a deal with you. As long as you make the weapon in Ma Hongwei's blueprint, even the simplest one, I will... take you to inject the genetic drug, how about that?" Xu Xin tempted.
Zeng Tao immediately raised her head, her eyes widened: "Really?"
"Of course it's true." Xu Xin couldn't help laughing.
In fact, he had originally planned to let Zeng Tao go after Jin Yue recovered.
This actually delayed it.
"I know! I... I can definitely do it!" Zeng Tao's eyes lit up and his fighting spirit was high.
"You too." Xu Xin looked at Ma Hongwei, "Don't be impatient. When she's done, you should get the injection too."
"I don't care... Okay, I get it." Ma Hongwei didn't seem to be that eager for genetic drugs. After all, whether he got the injection or not would not hinder his research.
"Okay, then... let's take a break first."
"Rest? Great!" Zeng Tao cheered immediately.
"Ah? I still need to rest." Ma Hongwei looked reluctant.
… This guy must have been a high-quality worker thousands of years ago.
Even if he becomes a boss, he is the kind of boss who works harder than his employees, comes to work earlier than his employees, and leaves work later than his employees, forcing his employees to leave work super late with him.
"Do you understand the idiom of combining work and rest?" Xu Xin really wanted to roll his eyes.
No wonder Zeng Tao wanted to run away.
Even he wanted to run away.
At this moment, his watch suddenly vibrated.
He raised his hand and saw that it was Qin Fu.
"What's the matter?" Xu Xin answered the voice call.
"Boss, something big has happened!" Qin Fu's voice was very solemn. "The trees on the periphery have grown. I have already used my ability. I will directly state the conclusion. There is danger underground! They want to dig a hole and get in from the ground!"
The expression on Xu Xin's face suddenly froze.
From underground…
Come in
