Chapter 153: A New Crisis

None of them had any special resources, so Xu Xin collected some blue-level fruit wood as a token of appreciation, and gave these directly to Li Wenxi, who was not short of them either.

Zhao Xiaochuan: "Thank you, Mr. Xu! I'm going to ride under the tree!"

Wang Lei: "Boss Xu, it's basically like giving it away for free, I love you!"

"Can you please stop calling me Boss Xu? It sounds awkward." Xu Xin wanted to deepen the relationship between them, and starting with the title was one of the best ways.

Zhao Xiaochuan: "Brother Xin!"

Wang Lei: "Oh, yes, let's call him Brother Xin!"

Xu Xin was speechless: "I'm not necessarily older than you."

Wang Lei: "Brother does not represent age, it represents status!"

The blood-striped vines could not cause any harm to the tree house for the time being. Instead of cleaning up the vines, the group started chatting.

Qi Xuefei: "How old are you, Xu Xin? You must not be as old as me."

Qi Xuefei had told them before that she was about to graduate with a Ph.D. and had studied medicine for eight years, so she was about 26 years old now.

"Well, I graduated with a bachelor's degree last year, studied at home for a year and just entered the postgraduate entrance examination. I was waiting to go to school, and the result came here."

Wen Guixin: "Ah? You are actually younger than me. I am in my second year of graduate school."

Wang Lei: "...They are all highly educated bosses. I have withdrawn from the group. A social worker with a college degree and three years of working experience has no human rights in this group."

Qin Yunlong: "... Do we really want to talk about academic qualifications? Then I will quit the group too."

Qin Yunhu: "I won't quit. I have a bachelor's degree and I think it's pretty good."

Zhao Xiaochuan: "I am also an undergraduate! I am now in my third year of college. Are you and I the same age?"

Qin Yunhu: "Oh, I have been working for almost eight years, and I am thirty this year."

Zhao Xiaochuan: "...Brother Tiger!"

Li Wenxi: "You are all older than me. I am only a sophomore, and I am actually the youngest!"

This is the first time that everyone in [Explorer] has talked about age, which has brought them closer together.

At present, Li Wenxi is the youngest, eighteen or nineteen years old, not yet twenty years old. Qin Yunlong and Qin Yunhu are the oldest brothers, already thirty years old. Their team really takes up the 18-30 age group.

Full.

However, Ji Chaoyang remained silent, which made Xu Xin a little confused, what is this guy doing now?

Zhao Xiaochuan: "Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, Brother Xin is awesome. I'm going to shoot the vines!"

Wang Lei: "I came out early. I was hanging under the tree house to chat with you..."

The group became quiet again, and Xu Xin gave all the other resources obtained from the transaction to Li Wenxi.

After looking out the window to make sure there was nothing unusual, he said to Bat, who was leaning on the window sill and moving from time to time, a little uncomfortable in any position: "Go down if you want. It's safe now. Call me if you need anything."

The bat made a shrill cry, flapped its wings and flew under the canopy of the tree, hanging upside down. It really preferred hanging under the tree house than hanging inside the tree house.

Silver King and Mimi were sleeping deeply, while Coco followed Xu Xin to the study.

"Why are you following me here?" Xu Xin sat down in front of the carving and painting workbench, looked at Coco who had climbed onto his lap and huddled up, and said, "You can stay here if you want. I'm going to carve, so don't move around."

"Hey!" Coco raised her head and responded, lying on his lap without moving.

Why is this little guy so clingy all of a sudden?

However, Xu Xin didn't go into details. After touching Coco's little head, she couldn't wait to try carving.

With the blessing of the Deepwater Pearl, he is already an entry-level artist. Now that he is an entry-level artist, can he process blue-level crystals and create blue-level sculptures?

It turned out that he was overthinking it. Holding the carving knife, Xu Xin stared blankly at the crystal with several scratches in front of him for a long time.

There is still no feeling of getting into the mood just by picking up the carving knife, and there is still the feeling of not knowing where to start.

Sighing, Xu Xin put away the crystal. It seems that blue-level carving requires higher-level artist skills.

Taking out another green-level crystal, he raised the carving knife again. This time, that familiar feeling came, countless inspirations emerged from his mind, and the carving knife in his hand began to carve quickly.

He could clearly feel that his speed and accuracy were faster and more accurate than before, and his movements were smoother.

Is this what entry-level feels like?

"Huh..." After who knows how long, Xu Xin exhaled, stopped the movements of his hands, and placed the carving knife and the freshly baked statuette on the table.

This time it is a small statue of Ah Fu, which is carved with Ah Fu spreading his wings and flying. The small statue is lifelike, as if it will fly directly in the next moment.

[It is detected that the bat blue crystal statue (green) is placed in the tree house, the tree house decoration degree is 10, the current tree house decoration degree: 146.4]

Xu Xin reached out and took down the coco figurine he carved from the mahogany bookcase. Comparing it with the Ah Fu figurine this time, some details on the Ah Fu figurine were obviously more delicate than the Coco figurine.

Meticulousness is certain. In addition to the improvement in technology, his random ability and enhanced vision today also provided him with a lot of help during the carving process. Although the crystal was small, it was completely invisible under his microscope-like eyes.

The form of escape.

However, this more detailed statue of Ah Fu still only adds 10 points of decoration. Perhaps 10 points is the highest degree of decoration that can be added to a green-level small sculpture.

However, the advantages of improved technology are still very significant. This time the consumption of mental energy for carving is much smaller than before.

Xu Xin rubbed her temples with her index finger and squeezed her dry eyes. Although she felt a little tired, she felt much more relaxed than before when she almost wanted to fall asleep.

Looking at the time, he was surprised to find that only half an hour had passed since he started carving! One carving previously took two hours!

The efficiency is directly increased to four times!

Is this an entry-level artist?

The treehouse has not been upgraded yet, so we don’t know what the function of the decoration degree is yet, but judging from its rewards, the functions provided by the decoration degree itself are definitely not too bad.

If the artist's level continues to improve, the time he needs to make carvings will become shorter and shorter. When it is shortened to ten minutes or a few minutes, he can sell carvings, provide carvings for others, and increase the level of decoration.

Nodding with satisfaction, Xu Xin placed the small statue of Coco and the small statue of Ah Fu on the bookcase.

There are no books on his bookcase. Instead, it looks like a display cabinet, with his carved statues of Coco, Mimi, and Afu, as well as a white deep-water pearl.

Still missing a small engraving of the Silver King.

Although he had already painted a portrait of the Silver King, the portrait was an ink painting, only in the shape of a wolf. It was a bit far-fetched to say that it was the Silver King.

Taking out another piece of crystal and lifting the carving knife, Xu Xin was once again immersed in the state of carving.

Soon, the carving of the Silver King was completed.

[It is detected that the Wolf King white crystal statue (green) is placed in the tree house, the tree house decoration degree is 10, the current tree house decoration degree: 156.4]

Place the small carving of the Silver King and the previous three small carvings on the same layer of the mahogany bookcase. The four small carvings of different colors are placed side by side, giving people a visual enjoyment.

Keshi, who was originally lying on Xu Xin's lap, stopped carving and got up. When he saw the four small statues side by side on the mahogany bookshelf, his eyes widened and he let out a cry.

"How about it? It's very similar, right?" Xu Xin was a little proud. A few days ago he was a layman who could carve, but now he could carve out such lifelike little statues at will.

"Hey!" Coco nodded fiercely and made the same gesture as Coco's little sculpture.

"Haha." Xu Xin touched Coco's furry tail and was about to say something. Suddenly, Coco turned her head and looked out the window.

"Hey!" It broke away from Xu Xin's hand, jumped to the window and looked down.

At the same time, the high-pitched screams of bats and the sound of something breaking through the ground were heard outside the tree house.

Even the floor of the tree house was shaking.

Xu Xin's expression changed.

Something happened!

He stood up from his seat and felt his head sink.

Carving two green-level statues in a row was a big burden on his spirit. He immediately ate an orange, restored his mental strength to its peak, and quickly walked to the window to look outside.

"Hiss—" Xu Xin took a breath.

He saw that under and around the tree house that he had originally cleaned up, there were densely packed blood-thorn vines that were several times thicker than the blood-striped vines!

How come there are so many bloody thorn vines coming out for no reason?

However, what made him temporarily relieved and somewhat puzzled was that the bloodthorn vines did not attack the tree house, but were under the tree house, gently swaying their branches in the breeze.

Xu Xin squinted her eyes. This sense of déjà vu was very strong, as if...

Just like those swaying vines in the red mist last night.

Those vines seemed to be restricted by some rules or being stared at by something powerful. They did not dare to attack easily and could only sway their bodies slightly to relieve their desire to attack.

But once they take action, it will be a devastating blow containing great power!

The local conflicts that broke out from time to time between the blood-striped vines and the blood-thorned vines last night opened his eyes, and he was always amazed at their extremely powerful destructive power that could pierce or sweep through an entire area without taking action.

Are these bloody thorn vines the same as last night?

And, how did they appear? Did they grow from seeds, or did they emerge from the ground?

Looking at the map, he unexpectedly discovered that there were only red dots under and around his tree house. These red dots tightly surrounded the tree house, but there were still no red dots in other places.

These bloody thorn vines are completely directed at his tree house!

"Afu, come up, don't stay down there!" Xu Xin shouted. The blood-striped vines will not attack more than five meters, but it does not mean that these blood-spiked vines will do the same.

After hearing this, Ah Fu flew into the house through the study window.

It can be seen that the vines did not attack, so he was no longer nervous, so he took Ah Fu and showed him Xu Xin's carvings.

Xu Xin looked at the bloody thorn vines below, and his hands began to itch.

Since you won't attack, let me do it first.
Chapter completed!
