"By the way, is Wei Chenghao's car fixed yet?"

"Not yet, I went to see it this afternoon." Chu Zhiqin put the books aside and shook her head helplessly. "That RV... tsk tsk, not only is it badly damaged, but the engine is also completely wrecked. I reckon it's much worse than when I was hit by the sandstorm. It should take another day or two to repair."

Alright... there's no rush anyway. Xi Xi decided to explore the place thoroughly with Li Jinshao tomorrow.

Just before going to sleep, Xi Xi had a sudden thought, and an idea suddenly popped into her mind. She summoned her magic brush, wondering if she could draw something that could withstand earthquakes and tsunamis.

She first drew a large expanse of surging waves, then drew a campervan based on the emoji, and finally drew a circular protective cover to frame the little car.

Then, she copied the design and changed the waves into a mountain range with rolling rocks.

Xi Xi frowned as she looked at her painting, feeling quite apprehensive. Earthquakes and tsunamis were just too difficult to depict...

As expected, this complex natural phenomenon seemed to be beyond the recognition capabilities of the Magic Pen system.

After a long period of modification and waiting, the system finally responded, "living up to expectations" by generating two seemingly related but actually seriously off-topic items:

A uniquely designed round seawater purifier and a delicate, small round digging tool.

Xi Xi didn't quite understand the thought process behind "Auspicious Pen Brings Fortune"... Sigh, putting aside her original intention, it's not bad after all.

However, given the current situation, Xi Xi has neither a lack of clean fresh water nor an urgent need to dig soil, so these two items do seem somewhat useless to her.

She shook her head helplessly, thinking to herself that she would sell the two items at a high price when she found the right opportunity.

As she pondered this, Xi Xi gradually relaxed, her thoughts drifted away, and she unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

Perhaps because she had been busy all day yesterday and her nerves were in a state of high tension, Xi Xi slept very soundly and didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky.

She slowly stretched her body before leisurely walking out of the bedroom. She immediately saw Xi's mother calmly holding a steaming cup of tea, engrossed in reading a book.

Xi Xi couldn't help but admire her mother's energy. Besides researching blended fabrics, she also had to take care of Aura and Little White Duck, and even had to go to the repair shop from time to time to keep an eye on the repair progress. How could she still get up so early... She was really too diligent.

However, it's true that when you're busy, you don't have time to overthink.

Chu Zhiqin looked up and saw that Xi Xi had finally woken up. A smile immediately appeared on her face. She reached out and handed over the teacup in front of her, saying excitedly, "Little Xi, look what I found! You know what, these free tea bags taste pretty good! I'll have to go downstairs later to ask that young man named She Ji for a few more bags so we can take them with us and enjoy them slowly!"

"..." It seems that after a day of thinking, Ms. Chu has shaken off her gloomy mood. She's even eyeing the cheap tea bags now.

Xi Xi waved her hand, she wasn't interested in that... She couldn't help but yawn again, and then plopped down next to Chu Zhiqin.

"Take this book back to that young man when you have time today. I've finished reading it and memorized everything I needed to!"

As if remembering something, Chu Zhiqin put down her teacup and picked up the book "Dongli Zhijian: Fabric Blending Tutorial" from the coffee table and handed it over.

Xi Xi took the book and then realized that what her mother had been holding and reading was not a textile blending tutorial at all, but just a magazine provided by the inn.

Oh right, she remembered that there were indeed two other magazines next to She Ji's handwritten letter.

Thinking of this, Xi Xi casually opened a bag of snacks, ate them with relish, and moved closer to Chu Zhiqin.

She was genuinely curious about what kind of content would be published in the magazines of survival games.

"Wait!" Xi Xi suddenly stopped her mother's hand from turning the page.

The magazine featured a young woman standing with her arms crossed under a blue sky and white clouds.

This woman has long, shimmering silver hair, like frost and snow covering the branches on a winter morning, pure and dazzling.

Her hair was fine and smooth, shimmering with a faint silver light under the sunlight or lamplight, which complemented her fair and flawless skin, creating a unique picture.

“Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also very talented!” Chu Zhiqin pointed to the person in the magazine and explained to Xi Xi in a great deal of detail, “But she looks like she has albinism? Her eyelashes are white too.”

Xi Xi glanced past the portraits and frowned as she looked at the text at the bottom—"Interview photo of entrepreneur GH".

GH? ? Then isn't that the artist behind the two oil paintings at the post station?!

Xi Xi's heart suddenly raced, and she quickly grabbed the magazine to examine the photo closely.

The metal fence behind the white-haired woman in the photo looked so familiar in style and material that Xi Xi couldn't help but feel a chill.

Isn't this the railing on the rooftop observation deck of the inn she visited yesterday? Upon closer inspection, the height of the railing in the photo perfectly matches that of the observation deck!

When Li Jinshao rushed over after receiving Xi Xi's private message, Xi Xi was pacing back and forth along the edge of the observation deck railing with a serious expression.

Based on the features of some objects in the background of the photo, she was quite certain that GH took the photo at this exact location.

The observation deck during the day is completely different from that at night. Due to the overcast weather, the sky is not as blue as it appears in magazines, but instead presents a tranquil and profound atmosphere.

Surrounded by rolling mountains, the peaks loomed in and out of view under the overcast sky. A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness and the fragrance of earth.

Xi Xi raised her eyes, gesturing towards the distant mountains.

Li Jinshao looked towards the mountain range with a knowing look, pondered for a moment, then opened the light screen album and quickly flipped through the pages until she found the page with the painting "Tide Star".

Next, he carefully compared the outline of the distant mountains with the lines in the pictures in the album to pinpoint the specific location and angle depicted in the two paintings.

After comparison, it was discovered that not only were the photos in the magazine taken on the top floor of the station, but the two exquisite paintings were also created there.

The majestic, varied mountain range in the painting is located in the direction that can be seen from the back of the viewing platform.

"Due west?!" Li Jinshao exclaimed in surprise, her face filled with undisguised astonishment.
