Chapter 188 Utilization and Recharging of the Treehouse Core
It was going to be dark soon, and Xu Xin quickly returned to the vicinity of his tree house.
He also planted the newly brought [Parasitic Tree House Seed] on the outermost edge of his "back garden", but it was opposite to the previous [Parasitic Tree House 01] and planted on the other side.
No particular consideration, he just felt more comfortable with symmetry.
Before the parasitic tree house had grown, Xu Xin sent a voice message to Ji Chaoyang. . He wanted to analyze today's information with Ji Chaoyang, and then consider whether it was time to tell the rest of the explorers about their deduction.
The other side was quickly connected.
"I met people from other districts." Xu Xin said straight to the point.
"...Oh?" Ji Zhaoyang's voice on the other side also became serious, "Which district is it from?"
"It's about the same as your speculation, Jungle Area 187."
"... Neighborhood? Neighborhood is fine."
Ji Chaoyang and his worries are similar, they are afraid that they are not only surrounded by districts 187, 189 and other neighboring districts, but there are also a bunch of other districts. It is okay to deal with one or two districts, and the difficulty will be greatly increased in many districts. up.
Xu Xin told Ji Zhaoyang all the information he got from Leyoufang.
"It seems that our guess should be close to ten." Ji Zhaoyang was silent for a while, and then said.
"What did you find over there?"
"I also walked around the reserve and found two tree houses. Unfortunately, they were all tree houses that had lost their owners and were on the verge of death. There were no living survivors."
"Did you find a problem." Xu Xin frowned, "We didn't find anyone from this area, and there seemed to be only survivors from other areas around. Could it be that we are completely separated from people from the same area?"
He found a total of three tree houses, and in retrospect, the locations were even relatively regular.
The first tree is in the east, the second tree is in the north, and the third tree, the one in Leyoufang, is in the south. Although there are slight deviations, they are not bad.
Each direction corresponds to a tree house, however, none of these three tree houses are tree houses in their area!
If it weren't for the fact that he had seen the light of the lightning rod on Li Wenxi's tree house, which was about 20 to 30 kilometers due east of him, he would really have thought that there was something wrong with his position.
"This should be what I said before, cross distribution." Ji Zhaoyang pondered for a while and then said, "All of us are separated."
Xu Xin naturally understands what cross distribution is. Like black and white floor tiles.
The tree house protection area of each survivor in the 188th area of the jungle is equivalent to a white square, while the survivors in other areas are all black squares. The white squares are only connected to the black squares, and the black squares are also surrounded by white squares.
In other words, producers in the same region can only be found in diagonal directions, such as northwest and southeast.
However, the protected area is not a square, but a circle, and a circle is not as comprehensive as a square. Between the diagonally opposite circles is a dangerous area that cannot be covered by the protection zone.
So at least until the protected area continues to expand, the same area cannot be directly connected.
Now if you want to find people in the same area, you have to go through the protected areas of survivors in other areas.
"I think we can tell them about this matter. We need to establish a close group as soon as possible. Otherwise, if some people have evil intentions, someone will suffer." Xu Xin said. When he said them, he naturally referred to other people in the explorers.
"Tomorrow then. Now that the protected area can communicate with each other, functions like the world channel should also be open. Let's verify it again today."
"good."
Xu Xin hung up the call.
At this point the tree house is fully grown. Both Silver King and Mimi were circling around the tree house. It was the first time for them to see a tree grow so fast, and they were very curious.
Xu Xin renamed the tree house [Parasite Tree House 02], opened up some of its functions, and then returned to her tree house with the four beasts.
He took out the two [cores of the low tree house], and prepared to use the cores to upgrade the resources.
"What's good about upgrading?"
The carving knife is temporarily put on hold. After all, even if he makes a purple-level carving knife, he can't carve a purple-level statue with his artist level. It is enough, there is no need to consume a piece of purple resources to upgrade.
Weapons are actually a good choice. He can upgrade two materials now, and he can make weapons completely. He just got the strongest steel in the same level. If he upgrades the steel block (blue) to steel block (purple) and uses the steel block to make weapons, he can get the strongest weapon in the purple level!
In this way, he is equivalent to having purple-level equipment all over his body!
However, in terms of practicality, he should actually upgrade the boning knife most, because purple-level boning knives can decompose purple-level materials, and maybe the possibility of decomposing blue-level materials will also increase.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Xin finally chose the weapon.
There are no wild beasts or mutated creatures around now, and it is unknown when they will appear. It may take a long time to create them. Moreover, he hasn't been to the west side yet. After he is ready to assemble himself, he will go to the west side for a try. There may be another tree house core there.
Ultimately, he chose the steel lance over the crossbow over all weapons.
A purple-grade steel spear only needs two purple-grade materials, wood and steel blocks, but a purple-grade crossbow needs three types: wood, animal tendons, and steel blocks, which he can't make yet. Moreover, now that he has powerful explosive arrows, the rate of fire and strength of the crossbow itself is not so important, just enough.
[Steel spear (green): The spear made of steel blocks is sharper than the iron spear, and it is the hardest and sharpest weapon in its class! Durability 1000. Requires wood (green)*5, steel block (green)*2]
A purple-grade steel pointed gun requires four pieces of blue-grade wood, one piece of purple-grade wood, one piece of blue-grade steel block, and one piece of purple-grade steel block.
Taking out a blue-level steel block and a [core of the low tree house], Xu Xin tried to put the two resources together.
[Do you want to use the core of the low tree house to upgrade the steel block (blue) to steel block (purple)? 】
When the prompt sounded, Xu Xin did not hesitate, and immediately chose yes.
The core of the tree house that originally exuded a bright white light suddenly became brighter, and then, under his identification ability, the blue light on the steel block gradually began to change to purple.
In the end, the light at the core of the tree house dimmed, from a "night pearl" emitting white light to an ordinary pale yellow spherical stone. And the steel block has completely turned into purple rank.
[The core of the low tree house that has lost energy: The core of the tree house that has exhausted all its energy has turned into an ordinary stone. There may be some way to make it full of energy again. 】
Full of energy again! Sure enough, after losing the energy core, it can still be recharged!
This made Xu Xin overjoyed. If he finds this method, he can really produce purple resources by himself!
But how do you recharge it?
"The core of the tree house..." Xu Xin muttered to himself, "Could it be related to the parasitic tree house?"
He has seen all the functions of the parasitic tree house, and there is no option to charge the core of the tree house.
He suddenly thought that when he was operating in the parasitic tree house 01, Coco had been scratching the floor with her little paws. When he finally left, it was still scratching on the floor, and he carried it away directly, and it was still a little reluctant.
Xu Xin originally thought it was sharpening its claws, but now it seems that...
It doesn't matter what purple-level weapon is, anyway, he can do it at any time, he picked up the cocoa on the sofa, and rushed to No. 01 Parasitic Tree House.
"Huh?" Ke Ke dozed off on the sofa, and was lifted onto Xu Xin's shoulder, with question marks all over her little head.
"Help me in a while, what's special about the parasitic tree house."
"Hey!" Hearing this sentence, Keke suddenly felt relieved, waving his little paw and screaming, as if to say that it had already found out, but last time it was directly carried away by Xu Xin.
Is it really the same as his guess?
Arriving at the first floor of Parasitic Tree House 01, Ke Ke jumped off Xu Xin's shoulder, ran to the middle of the tree house, and scratched the floor with her little paw: "Oh!"
Xu Xin couldn't be more familiar with this position. Isn't this the location of the trunk of the tree house, and also the location of the core of the original tree house?
The parasitic tree house has no core, so it should be empty inside.
Is it necessary to pry open the floor in the center of the tree house and place the core of the tree house in its original position?
Xu Xin touched the floor with her hands, but did not trigger any prompts that could control the floor from rising.
...then chop with an axe!
Anyway, it was just a piece of the floor of the tree house that was torn down, and he didn’t even need to repair it himself afterwards, as the tree house’s own self-healing ability could restore it.
Just do it. Taking out the iron axe, Xu Xin hit the floor with the axe.
"Crack!"
Same as the previous situation, the green-level parasitic tree house was completely unable to resist the blue-level iron axe. With one click, the floor in the center cracked. After a few strokes, the floor crumbled.
Xu Xin cleared away the debris on the floor, revealing the situation under the floor.
"really!"
The underfloor is different from a normal tree house. A normal tree house is a hollow tree trunk, and the core of the tree house is buried in the bottom soil. The trunk of the parasitic tree house is indeed solid, and there is only a hemispherical groove, which can just place the core of the tree house.
[Discover the charging slot of the parasitic tree house and unlock the core charging function]
This core charging function, did you still have to discover it yourself?
Xu Xin put the [low tree house core] that had exhausted its energy, and with a soft "click", the tree house core just got stuck in the hemispherical hole.
A faint white luster emanated from the core of the already dim tree house again.
Xu Xin touched it with her hands, and the core that had become cold after losing energy was now warm, like a hand warmer.
[Remaining charging time: 4 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes]
Really rechargeable!
"Hey!" Ke Ke also touched it, and finally even lay down on it, showing a small expression of comfort, sticking out her little tongue.
Xu Xin was lost in thought.
Originally, the core of the tree house is to provide energy for the tree house, but the energy of the parasitic tree house is obtained from the host tree house, so there is no need for the core of the tree house to provide energy, but the energy obtained from the host tree house can be used Added to the treehouse core.
This should be the principle of charging the core.
But... From this point of view, the host tree house, that is, his tree house, needs to provide more energy, and the burden is even greater, and it is unknown how many parasitic tree houses can bear the parasitism at most.
Although the charging time of five days is a bit long, purple-level resources are worth such a long wait.
If there are more parasitic tree houses in the future, wouldn't it be possible to mass produce purple-level resources!
In other words, what would happen if you put a full-energy core on it?
