Fortunately, he had cut down the surrounding trees, so even if the forest fire came, it would not burn him. However, considering that the smoke might enter the tree house, he installed glass windows in all the windows and closed all the windows on the upper and lower four floors.
The thunderstorm outside continued. Xu Xin was so annoyed by the thunder and the thunder-induced sounds that kept exploding on the top of the tree house that he couldn't stand it anymore. Finally, he rolled up some cotton balls and stuffed them into his ears, and he felt better.
There was no fire around the tree house because the lightning rod attracted all the surrounding lightning, but places farther away from the tree house were not so lucky.
Looking out the window, forest fires were burning in all directions, and the fires spread from almost everywhere, slowly surrounding the tree house.
But Xu Xin wasn't panicking. He had already done everything he needed to do, so there was no need to panic. Even if something really happened, panicking would be pointless.
Because the window was not closed just now, the heat wave from outside blew in, making the room very stuffy. He brought a basin of water and threw saltpeter into it, and the temperature in the room instantly became comfortable.
Sitting on the sofa, Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
Coco was lying on the sofa at this time, covering her ears and burying her head, with her big tail behind her shaking constantly.
At first, it was frightened by the thunder, but now it is not frightened anymore. However, it still cannot stand the huge noise that occurs every ten seconds.
Xu Xin rolled two more cotton balls and stuffed them into Coco's ears, which made it raise its head from the sofa, but it still looked a little listless.
Yin Wang and Mimi lay in the living room nonchalantly. They seemed to be able to tolerate noise very well. Mimi even yawned, squinted her eyes and began to rest.
Influenced by these two guys, Xu Xin was not so irritable anymore. He had just been chopping trees for such a long time that his stomach was rumbling. He planned to have a hearty breakfast.
He took out the wild boar meat that Silver King and Mimi had hunted yesterday and gave it to them. He also summoned the bats in the bracelet to eat with them. He then fried a dish of lotus root mutant pork and accompanied it with fresh fruits. He had a hearty breakfast amid the rumbling thunder.
The slight warmth flowing through his body made him clench his fists. If he continued to eat this mutant beast meat, the longer the time, the more obvious the gap between him and others would become.
After eating the last slice of the orange in his hand, he suddenly thought that today was the fourth day since he planted the strawberries, and his blue-level strawberries should have been ripe.
So he came to the plantation on the top floor of the tree house.
As soon as he came up, Xu Xin was blinded by the light from the lightning rod. The lightning rod was like a high beam headlight emitting white light in all directions, emitting a dazzling light.
Xu Xin even felt that the light carried a hint of warmth, like sunlight. Perhaps it was because the stored electrical energy was too much and could no longer be stored, so it was automatically converted into heat and light energy and released.
Wait, isn’t this lightning rod equivalent to a fill light in a greenhouse?
In this way, even if it is cloudy, with dark clouds and no sun, the plants in his top-floor plantation can still carry out photosynthesis and grow normally.
Even if it could stay lit like this all the time, plants would continue to grow at night, and the time to maturity would probably be further shortened.
This really meets the needs of the top level.
But there are also disadvantages. It may be useless when there are no mines.
And if the lightning rod is lit like this at night, his tree house will attract the attention of surrounding wild animals and mosquitoes like a big light bulb, and may even be seen by other survivors not far away, which is not a good thing.
Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. At least it's a good thing for him now.
Xu Xin walked to the large flowerpot where strawberries were planted.
The five strawberry plants in the flowerpots have already borne fruit. Egg-sized fruits are hanging on the strawberry vines. Each one is bright red, like red agate, which makes people very appetizing just by looking at it.
Gu Hao
Each strawberry plant had seven fruits, and a total of 35 strawberries were harvested from this piece of soil.
Xu Xin picked a big strawberry and looked at it in the palm of his hand.
Strawberries: These edible fruits are incredibly sweet, and one bite will bring you a burst of happiness. Eating them can eliminate negative mental states and boost your mood for an hour!
This introduction made Xu Xin frown. What kind of effect was this? A happy fruit? Why did it feel like something you could inhale?
He wiped the strawberry in his hand and took a bite without washing it. He grew it himself and didn't use any pesticides, so it was very clean.
A sweet taste bloomed in the mouth. This blue-grade strawberry was indeed much sweeter than the green-grade strawberries I had eaten before.
Xu Xin ate the whole strawberry and licked his lips. Not only was the tip of the strawberry sweet, but the bottom of the strawberry was also sweet, which made the corners of his mouth curl up with a smile.
The moment he ate it, his irritable mood caused by the thunderstorm calmed down, and his mind became clear instantly.
This feeling is different from the restorative effect of oranges. Oranges restore mental strength and make the brain that has been working all the time no longer tired. But Xu Xin had just gotten up and was not tired at all. He was just a little irritated by the noise.
Being full of mental energy does not mean that your emotions are positive, nor does it mean that you can make correct judgments.
He instantly understood the true function of strawberries.
He recalled encountering the Piranha Plant. Even though he'd eaten oranges, which kept his mental strength at peak levels, he was still affected by the pollen, causing him to do some imprudent things he wouldn't normally do. Also, in the dungeon passages, the sound of bats gave him a splitting headache, which took a long time to recover from.
