However, before that, Xu Xin took Li Wenxi out of the World Tree first.
He took her to the crystal house and injected her with genetic medicine.
"It hurts!" Li Wenxi cried out in pain, "Wow, why does it hurt so much!"
"'Eternal life' requires a price. Well, now you are also a person who can achieve 'eternal life', and the price is just a slight pain in your arm." Xu Xin said with a smile.
"Ah... It's so easy to achieve 'eternal life'." Li Wenxi pulled his arm out of the instrument, leaving a pinhole mark on his slender white arm.
She touched the part where she was injected with the drug and said, "It feels... a little unreal."
She reached out and touched her face. "So, I won't get older now? That's really good. When I was in the World Tree just now, I thought that if I stayed in the World Tree all the time, time would pass quickly. Would there be any problem... Hmm?!"
She looked at her hands, which were covered with fallen dead facial skin.
Screams rang out from the Crystal House, echoing in the deserted Crystal City.
…
"Gurgle..." Li Wenxi half of his head emerged from the lake, blowing bubbles and sulking.
She was still blaming Xu Xin for not telling her earlier, which made her think for a moment that she was allergic to the genetic drug and was going to turn into a monster.
"Hahaha..." Xu Xin was still laughing, "Hey, your reaction is completely within my expectations."
"Okay! You did it on purpose!" Li Wenxi suddenly stood up from the lake and glared at Xu Xin.
She was naked at this moment, her new skin was as smooth and white as cream, her chest was exposed, and her long legs were just slightly exposed above the water, looming, which made Xu Xin's eyes go straight.
He and Li Wenxi hadn't seen each other for a while, nor had they been intimate together. This look of hers was simply too much for him to bear.
Li Wenxi also noticed Xu Xin's abnormality, raised the corners of his mouth, and slowly took two steps towards him.
The closer you get to the lake, the deeper the water becomes.
"The temperature of this lake water is so comfortable. You should come down and take a bath." Li Wenxi's words were full of temptation.
Xu Xin took a deep breath and took a step forward, but in the end he did not move forward any further. He said weakly, "Alright, alright, come out now, stop making trouble, this is outside the World Tree."
"What happened outside the World Tree? Can't we just finish it quickly?" Li Wenxi said directly without any concealment.
"How fast can it be?" Xu Xin said unhappily, "Don't you think about it? When you get back, people will ask you 'Why did you go out for so many days?' How will you answer? Tell them that we had a good time outside?"
"Ah, this..." Li Wenxi blinked, "Are you that strong?"
"? Are you looking down on me?" Xu Xin's eyes twitched, and he almost jumped into the water to prove it, but in the end he shook his head helplessly, "Okay, hurry up and get out, let's go back first."
"Oh oh oh, okay." Li Wenxi walked out of the water and put on her clothes.
"Go back quickly. I brought you here for the injection and a bath. Twenty minutes have passed." Xu Xin looked at the watch.
Inside, more than a day has passed!
Of course, because there is no 24-hour day and night cycle inside and it is always daytime, the people inside the World Tree are not that sensitive to the passage of time.
"Ah! Let's go back!"
The two hurried back to the World Tree.
"... Wow!" The moment he entered the World Tree, Li Wenxi opened his eyes and said in surprise, "Hey... Is the layout here originally like this?"
The tree house, which was originally located in the center of the entire reclaimed area in front, has now been moved as a whole.
This area has completely become a farm and pasture.
All the tree houses have now been moved to the other side of the vine ball elevator exit and have become a special... residential area
"Is this... dividing the functional areas?" Xu Xin understood.
"Alas... I finally realized how exaggerated the hundred-fold time flow rate is..." Li Wenxi looked at everything in front of him, his throat moving for a moment, and smiled awkwardly, "Fortunately, we didn't do anything outside..."
They were only out for twenty minutes, and a drastic change took place inside.
"Aren't you afraid here?" Xu Xin said to Li Wenxi.
…
"Hey? Is that Brother Xin and Wen Xi? Are they out?"
"I don't know. Didn't Sister Wen Xi say she would take us to mine? It's been almost a day. No, it's been more than a day!"
"Alas, everything in this World Tree is good, except that the length of day and night is a bit weird. It's really too long."
"Hey, that's not a shortcoming. I just love light!"
"If there are another ten days of Chang Ye after that, don't cry!"
"Why are you crying? I love the night, too! As long as there is no danger here, I love everything here!"
"Yes, yes, you love everything... Hey? Brother Xin and the others went straight to Wen Xi's tree house?"
"Why does it feel a bit urgent? Did the two of them find something outside that they need to study urgently?"
"I've been out for more than a day, so I must have gained a lot!"
…
Li Wenxi lay in Xu Xin's arms, feeling very satisfied.
Xu Xin also felt refreshed, as if all the fatigue accumulated during this period of time was swept away.
Back in the World Tree, with time flowing a hundred times faster, nothing is urgent.
In short, satisfy yourself first.
"Haha, they are building their homes, and we are doing this kind of thing here."
Xu Xin smiled and pinched Li Wenxi's cheek.
After the improvement of the genetic medicine, and the fact that I just sweated a little, my hands feel smoother than before.
"Hmm... don't talk about this, I'm going to feel guilty." Li Wenxi buried his head, "I just remembered that I haven't gone down to mine yet..."
"It's only been a short time, isn't it?" Xu Xin looked at the ceiling, his body stretched and relaxed. "For you, only more than an hour has passed."
"But we were out for only 20 minutes." Li Wenxi said in a low voice, "For them, it was almost two days."
"Two days... It's nothing for the World Tree." Xu Xin looked out the window, "It's just... two days."
In this hundred times faster time flow, his entire mind... became much lazier.
Every minute that passes, a second hasn’t passed outside. Every hour that passes, a minute hasn’t passed outside.
This thought hit his head all the time.
There is no one who is not lazy!
Even if a group of stone statues come to attack the next day... what can we do
As long as you live in this world tree, that will only happen after a hundred days or three months.
There is an outrageous amount of time.
This is in stark contrast to the previous feeling of an activity being limited to a certain number of hours, time being life, and racing against time.
If he lived outside, he would always be in a very tense state. But when he came to this World Tree, this tense string was completely loosened in an instant.
Not only him, but other explorers were the same, especially since they had already experienced a happy life for half a month before him.
The most obvious one is Wen Guixin.
Wen Guixin, who has always been impatient, now likes to lie by the window and watch the scenery idly. During discussions, she talks much less than before.
So do other people.
Basically, everyone no longer has the tense energy they had before.
That is, after Ji Chaoyang made his prediction for the next day, everyone became anxious for a while, but then it was proved to be the next day in the outside world, and they immediately returned to that subtle casual state.
In fact, this is normal.
Now that they have plenty of time, they can completely relax.
Speaking of which, the most motivated person among the crowd right now is Xu Ying.
After all, her current situation is not optimistic.
However, Xu Xin felt that the previous plan could be delayed for a few days.
Take this opportunity to relax before continuing.
Anyway, it doesn’t waste much time of the outside world.
Um... No, you can relax, but...
At least we have to find Lou Feier and the others first.
Just like at a dinner party, it always feels a bit uncomfortable if you start eating before everyone else arrives.
"Alright, alright!" Xu Xin sat up from the bed and patted his face to sober up. "Now it's time to get down to business!"
"Well... you have to bring Fei'er and the others back, right?" Li Wenxi also sat up, "Didn't you contact them when you were outside just now?"
"Of course I did. It was when you jumped into the lake and started rubbing your body like crazy." Xu Xin smiled, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes. "But the other party didn't answer."
When he was in the outside world, he tried to send voice messages to Lou Feier, Shi Wanyun and Jin Yue.
But no reply was received.
This made him feel a little uneasy, which was one of the reasons why he was able to resist the huge temptation when he was outside in the lake just now.
Anxious. Can't waste precious time outside.
But inside the World Tree, this anxiety was diluted a hundred times.
"Ah?" Li Wenxi's expression suddenly changed, and he became worried. "Then let's go find them right away! We don't have time to do this..."
"It's nothing..." Xu Xin pursed her lips, "Only a few dozen seconds passed outside."
"That... that's... it seems so." Li Wenxi was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "A hundred times the time is really the biggest cheat!"
"But now it's time to get down to business."
The two men got up, put on their clothes, and came down from the tree house.
"Is it over?" Under the tree house, Qi Xuefei looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Sister Xue... Sister Xuefei?" Li Wenxi was stunned. "When did you come?"
"Twenty minutes ago?" Qi Xuefei asked with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"Uh..." Li Wenxi blushed, "Why don't you just call us?"
"Well... next time, remember to close the window." Qi Xuefei answered the question irrelevantly.
“…Ah!” Li Wenxi turned his head suddenly and looked up, only to see a gap in the window, “Ah, this…Ah!
”
She just squatted down and covered her face.
Xu Xin's face also turned red.
This is really...
"Wow... I have no face to live as a human being..."
"Okay, you two, everyone is waiting for you. If you have something to discuss, come quickly." Qi Xuefei couldn't help laughing, then reminded them and turned around and walked back.
Sister Xuefei's concept of time, as well as everyone's concept of time, have been changed a lot by the time flowing a hundred times faster.
Xu Xin looked at Qi Xuefei's back and sighed inwardly.
If this was left outside, there was no way she could wait downstairs for twenty minutes.
How could the others possibly wait for these two people
"Wuwuwu... It's over, they are all waiting for us..." Li Wenxi said with tears in her eyes, "I don't want to go over there anymore, please go for me."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Xin pulled her up and walked over there.
The two soon arrived under the tree house and were pulled up.
The crowd has gathered again.
Everyone looked at the two of them with slightly ambiguous expressions.
"I understand." Xu Ying came close to the two of them and laughed softly, "Sister-in-law has just improved her genes, which is really... ah!"
Xu Xin slapped her on the head and said, "Shut up!"
"Yingying!" Li Wenxi pulled Xu Ying's mouth back and forth.
"Don't... don't drag me down! I deliberately didn't go out with you guys! You should thank me!"
"What did you say!"
"Okay, okay, although we have a lot of time, we can't be so lazy." Ji Chaoyang clapped his hands, then looked at Xu Xin, "Did you contact Lou Fei'er and the other three this time?"
Xu Xin shook his head slowly: "No, I haven't contacted them. If they were in Area 188, I could still use my map to find their location, but they are in Area 1. So, I plan to..."
He looked at Xu Ying, whose face was deformed by Li Wenxi's pulling, and said, "Take Yingying with you and go to Area 1 to take a look."
"Me?" Xu Ying grabbed Li Wenxi's hand with one hand, "Well, okay, with my teleportation ability, I can avoid risks and stay safe at any time even in such a far place, and I can quickly bring them back if I find them."
Ji Chaoyang nodded: "Then I'll leave this matter to you. Everyone, Xu Xin and Li Wenxi are back now. There is something I need to ask for your opinions, especially Xu Xin and Li Wenxi's opinions."
"Hmm? What's the matter?" Li Wenxi was startled and pointed at himself. "Especially me? I don't know much about the World Tree. You have lived here for half a month. You decide these things. I can't give any opinions."
"No, among us, only you, Xu Xin and Xu Ying have a more intuitive experience of this matter." Ji Chaoyang said.
Wen Guixin looked at Ji Chaoyang: "Are you talking about the hundred times time thing?"
ah…
Xu Xin and Li Wenxi looked at each other.
Indeed, the two of them had a deep experience of the difference in the speed of time flow between the inside and the outside.
Ji Chaoyang nodded: "That's it. We should now consider whether we should tell other survivors that the flow of time has increased a hundred times."
"Ah? Haven't we told the other survivors yet?" Li Wenxi asked in surprise.
"No, I haven't. I only told a few people." Ji Chaoyang said, "Because this matter may cause dissatisfaction among everyone."
"Why is this happening... Ah." Li Wenxi understood immediately, "Time is flowing too fast. Compared to people in the outside world, it is equivalent to accelerating aging."
She was a little worried about this matter before.
"That's it." Zhao Xiaochuan spread his hands. "Don't myths say that one day in heaven is one year on earth? For us, one day outside is one hundred days inside. The outside world has become heaven instead."
…Speaking of Ali, this is indeed the case.
For those who have been injected with genetic drugs, the fast flow of time is nothing.
But for ordinary people like them...
Isn’t it just accelerating aging
