After saying goodbye to Qi Xuefei, Xu Xin activated the portal and returned to his tree house.

It's time for lunch.

After tasting Lou Feier's craftsmanship, he was very disgusted with his own craftsmanship. He just took a few bites and went to the art room to start creating art.

Today's surge in mental strength was a perfect match for his artistic endeavors. He carved eighteen small statues in a row that morning without feeling the slightest bit tired or exhausted.

He picked up the paintbrush and soon, one painting after another was born under his hands.

Koko had crawled onto his lap again at some point and was watching him paint obediently.

The time spent on artistic creation always passes quickly.

Looking at the sixty green-level paintings in front of him, Xu Xin nodded with satisfaction.

Most of these paintings are landscapes.

Although the mass-produced art is of a lower quality, its function is the same, adding ten points of decorativeness.

He called Ma Hongwei and the call was quickly connected.

"Brother Xin, what's wrong?"

"What are you doing?" Xu Xin had forgotten to contact him and had forgotten to bring him into the explorer, so he must have felt a little embarrassed.

"I'm researching a new heavy crossbow. However, its current decoration is too low, and the efficiency of my R&D department is really pitifully low." Ma Hongwei's words were filled with helplessness.

Xu Xin directly traded ten paintings to him.

"Holy crap!" The other party was shocked. "This...this...Ten paintings add 100 points of decoration?!"

"There will be more in the future. Okay, just continue your research."

"Okay!"

Then, he initiated a deal with Ji Chaoyang, Li Wenxi, and Qi Xuefei, giving each of them ten paintings.

Qi Xuefei accepted it instantly and thanked him.

Ji Chaoyang and Li Wenxi were both outside at this time.

Ji Chaoyang didn't know where to explore again, so he replied with a thank you.

Li Wenxi found a mine on the hillside that was not buried by snow, and took everyone to mine.

She didn't send a video this time; she didn't like videos when she was mining. But she still sent a voice message, saying she would receive it when she returned to the tree house.

"I don't know. Fei'er has climbed to that position now."

"Her conditions are better than mine, don't worry."

After hanging up the call, Xu Xin looked at the sky outside.

It is now three o'clock in the afternoon. According to his calculations, Lou Feier should be about to pass through, or has already passed through, that extremely cold section and is about to reach the middle of the snow-capped peak.

I hope she doesn't encounter any special situations.

Xu Xin walked into the art room again and continued to carve and paint.

He planned to use today's time, taking advantage of the increase in mental strength, to improve the decoration level of everyone in the [Explorer].

He created small sculptures and paintings at a rapid speed.

Time passed quickly, and the sky outside gradually darkened.

Xu Xin put down the carving knife, looked at the dozens of small carvings, and stretched.

After creating so many works, his artist skills still haven't improved...

He also thought that after his proficiency improved, he would start making blue-level decorations.

"Ying!" Coco, who had been lying by the window at some point, suddenly stood up and shouted out the window.

"What's wrong, Coco? Is there anyone outside?" Xu Xin stood up and walked over.

Suddenly, a voice was heard outside the tree house.

"Xu Xin, Master, are you there? I'm back!"

Um?

It’s Lou Feier!

Xu Xin immediately looked out the window and saw Lou Fei'er, fully armed, standing under the tree house. Seeing him stick his head out, she immediately waved: "I made it! I climbed up there, and when I saw you weren't there, I teleported down directly to find you!"

It’s only five o’clock now, how could it be so fast?

Seven hours?!

He glanced at the rankings, and sure enough, the eighth person already appeared on the list.

8 Lou Feier 187 District

District 188 was not shown on the leaderboard, but rather District 187, where her main tree house was located.

Wow, District 187 is going to be popular now!

This is the fourth area after Area 188, Area 1, and Area 23 where a survivor has reached the summit!
