Although the projection was indeed cast, but...

Above, it was indeed all black and gray.

That’s right, it’s just a black and gray color with nothing in it.

No interface, no options, nothing.

On the black and gray screen, there were spots of light flickering from time to time, like the snow screen of an old TV.

Li Wenxi tried tapping and swiping a few times, but there was no response.

"What on earth is going on?" she muttered to herself, and clicked a few more times in disbelief.

Xu Xin frowned slightly.

Is his watch usable?

After thinking about it, an idea came to his mind.

He immediately sent a voice message to Ji Chaoyang.

The call was answered immediately: "How's it going on your end?"

"I can only contact you and Wen Xi."

"...It seems that my guess is correct." Ji Chaoyang's voice lowered slightly. "For some reason, the range of our tree house's communication has been greatly reduced. Now, we can only communicate with survivors who are very close."

"That should be the case." Xu Xin nodded in agreement, then asked, "Qi Xuefei is with you now, right? Can you contact her?"

"She hasn't woken up yet, but her name is dim on my end, and I can't establish contact with her tree house. Her tree house is still too far away from us. I can't even contact Li Wenxi, let alone her tree house."

"……really."

It seems that whether or not communication is possible has nothing to do with the location of the watch, but only with the location of the tree house.

but……

"Is Sister Xuefei's watch working?" Li Wenxi suddenly asked, "My watch doesn't work."

"...The watch doesn't work?"

Ji Chaoyang wasn't surprised to see Li Wenxi next to Xu Xin, but he was concerned about what Li Wenxi said: "What do you mean the watch can't be used?"

"It's like this..." Xu Xin explained.

"In other words, I can't establish a connection with my tree house anymore?" Ji Chaoyang got to the point directly, and then said, "I'll wake Xue Fei up and take a look."

With that, he hung up the phone.

Li Wenxi fidgeted a bit, then suddenly stood up. "No, I have to go back to the tree house! Is it possible that even the portal is no longer usable?"

"Wait a moment and see what's going on over there with Ji Chaoyang."

"All right……"

At this moment, a prompt sound suddenly came to Xu Xin's ears.

[The treehouse's decoration level is detected to be greater than 1000. Gain today's random amplification: High Temperature Resistance. The effect lasts for one day. You can select a second amplification from the historical amplifications.]

[At the same time, you can select a survivor who has slept for three hours in the tree house and will receive a random amplification.]

Xu Xin's eyes lit up slightly.

High temperature resistance!

This random amplification...!

New!

Moreover, you can tell what it means just by looking at the name!

Sure enough, when the tree house decoration level exceeds 1,000 points, a new increase will appear.

This couldn't have come at a better time!

His random amplification is really so appropriate every time!

only……

Why does he feel a little cold?

He quickly clicked on the [Random Amplification] option to check the ability of [High Temperature Resistance].

[High Temperature Resistance: Increases the survivor's maximum temperature tolerance by 30 degrees Celsius and the minimum by 20 degrees Celsius. Survivors will thrive in high temperatures, but will also be more vulnerable to low temperatures.]

?

What is going on?

Is there such a capability?...

Double-edged sword?

The maximum tolerable temperature has been increased by 30 degrees. That is to say, he could originally do strenuous exercise at a maximum temperature of around 40 degrees without suffering from heatstroke, but now it is 70 degrees.

It is indeed a very useful ability for the current situation.

But there are still disadvantages.

His lowest tolerable temperature was also raised, by a full twenty degrees.

Simply put, the temperature in the tree house is about 24 or 25 degrees Celsius, but for him now, it feels like 4 or 5 degrees Celsius.

He was currently wearing a simple casual outfit purchased from the Points Mall, which had virtually no insulation effect, so he felt...

It’s so cold!

This ability is really a double-edged sword.

But it's not a big deal.

After all, if it's cold, just wear more clothes.

He directly changed into the blue-level leather armor set that he had not used for a long time.

The blue-level leather armor set itself has a pretty good thermal insulation effect. When Ji Chaoyang and Li Wenxi first met during the Falling Leaves Season, they were both wearing leather armor sets.

The temperature was in the single digits at the time.

So now he has no problem wearing this indoors, and it is also easy to move around in.

"Why are you suddenly wearing leather armor?" Li Wenxi glanced at him, then his eyes lit up and he said, "I don't think I've seen you wearing leather armor very often."

"There's a little problem with my random amplification, but it's nothing serious." Xu Xin said with a smile, "Wait a moment, I have a surprise for you."

"Surprise?" Li Wenxi was curious. "What surprise?"

In the [Random Amplification] interface, Xu Xin saw the survivors he could choose now.

Available survivors: Li Wenxi, Qin Fu, Zeng Tao, Li Yajun, Niu Fugui...

There is a series of names following.

They were all survivors who had lived in his tree house last night.

He can only choose one to grant a random amplification.

However, I feel that this number should increase as the level of decoration increases in the future.
