Chapter 104 The fourth floor of the tree house
After tidying up the interior decoration, Xu Xin opened the Points Mall, purchased two large flower pots (blue), and placed them by the window of the living room, or in other words, on the balcony.
He also has two pieces of fertile soil (blue) brought from the dungeon.
Filling two portions of fertile soil into the flower pot, Xu Xin began to think about what to plant.
He planted the strawberry seeds into the first flower pot two nights ago. It only takes three days for the strawberries to mature in the flower pot, and now there is only one day left to harvest blue-grade strawberry fruits. The apple trees outside can also bear fruit before the next event.
Plants that are too tall cannot be planted in the house. Xu Xin thought of the cotton seeds before, and then shook his head. Not to mention that the yield of cotton is very low, and planting cotton now is of little use.
Just when he was thinking about what to plant, the mysterious voice sounded in his ears again.
[Rewards for returnees from this dungeon treasure hunt are announced below]
[A total of 1853 survivors obtained resources in the dungeon and returned safely in this event]
[All returnees will receive generous rewards: tree house level +1]
[Looking forward to your next performance. 】
[The next event will start on time at 9:00 the day after tomorrow. It is called: Rainstorm Season. Please be prepared, survivors. 】
The amount of information in this paragraph is not small.
The reward that attracted Xu Xin the most was the tree house level +1?
Xu Xin immediately went to the screen and clicked on the [Ranking] option. Although the mysterious voice said that there was no ranking for this event, there was still a sub-selection of [Dungeon Treasure Hunting Activity] in the option. After Xu Xin clicked on it, a dialog box popped up.
[It has been detected that you are a dungeon returner. Do you want to receive the reward? 】
Xu Xin chose yes, and a purple light group suddenly appeared. Just when Xu Xin wanted to reach out and touch it, it suddenly flew into the wall of the tree house. Then, the entire tree house began to tremble slightly. There was also a sound like friction.
"Hey!" Coco on the sofa jumped up in fright, ran to Xu Xin's side in a few steps, quickly climbed onto his shoulder, lay on his shoulder and looked up.
King Yin was very calm, lying in the corner of the living room, seemingly asleep. The cheetah looked very nervous, with its body arched and its mouth slightly open, as if it might suddenly explode at any time.
"It's okay, it's okay, you don't need to be nervous." Xu Xin took Coco off her shoulders, held her in her arms and rubbed it.
This vibration should be that the tree house is growing and the fourth floor is about to appear. This reward is definitely very advantageous for him. You must know that the area of the low tree house is only about 30 square meters, the area of the two-story tree house is only 50 square meters, and he has an area of 1 on each floor. More than 100 square meters, the income is several times that of others.
The vibration continued without stopping. Xu Xin sat on the sofa holding Coco, paying attention to the changes in the tree house, and thinking about the next activity mentioned by the mysterious voice.
"Rainy season?" Xu Xin thought about the name of the event, "Just heavy rain? No, it can't be that simple."
He thought of the lake surrounding his treehouse, and the school of piranhas in its center.
"Could it be a flood?" The more Xu Xin thought about it, the more likely it became, "A flood, plus a lightning strike?"
This mysterious sound can actually affect the weather in this world. Xu Xin feels more and more that it is the "god" mentioned in the introduction of the altar.
It seems that the piranha problem must be solved tomorrow. When the rainy season comes, flooding is likely to occur. By then, this group of piranhas will be the biggest threat!
Xu Xin gritted his teeth to see if the giant crocodile could help him.
If the giant crocodile didn't help him, he would have no choice but to throw the contaminated meat into the lake and poison them to death. Although this group of piranhas are blood red, they have no patterns on their bodies. They should be different from the mutant creatures Xu Xin encountered. After all, their boss, the giant anaconda in the middle of the lake, does not have blood red patterns on his body, so he should be able to be fed by contaminated meat. poison.
But this will have a consequence, that is, mutated piranhas are very likely to appear, and the chance of mutating by directly eating contaminated meat is very small. Piranhas that mutate in this way should not just be low-level mutated creatures.
But there is nothing that can be done. Compared to a group of piranhas, one or a few large piranhas may be easier to deal with. After all, the target is large and can be attacked with a treehouse heavy crossbow.
The vibrations in the treehouse stopped, and at the same time, a sound like wood cracking came from the stairs going up and downstairs. Xu Xin hurriedly looked toward the stairs and saw that the ceiling on the stairs suddenly showed a rectangular crack. With a "clang" sound, one side of the rectangle fell down, forming an upward staircase.
Xu Xin hugged Coco and walked along the stairs to the newly appeared top floor.
The newly appeared floor made Xu Xin's eyes light up. He did not expect that the structure of this floor was different from the three floors below. The ceiling showed a tapered structure, just like an ancient brick house, with the middle high and the two sides low.
It is said to be low, but the edges are also three meters high, which is equivalent to the height of the lower floors, and the highest point in the middle is five or six meters high.
It's like a very large attic.
From this point of view, this level should be the highest level of the tree house, and no more will be added in the future. If we increase the number of layers, it may be that the banyan tree grows taller and then is added from below.
"What can we use such a big space for?" Xu Xin touched his chin.
This height is actually the best for planting. But...
Xu Xin had an idea. Is it possible to open a window on the ceiling of this tree house?
If we open several rows of windows on the ceiling to let in sunlight, can we plant on the top floor? Although there are dense banyan leaves outside, they do not block the sunlight from entering.
With a maximum height of six meters, Xu Xin can completely plant fruit trees in the middle. As long as they are pruned frequently, artificially cultivated fruit trees can only be three or four meters in height.
It feels good.
Xu Xin opened her watch. The [Treehouse Transformation] list allows you to make wooden windows and glass windows. The only raw material for glass windows is glass, but Xu Xin has not yet made glass.
According to his previous deduction, glass should be made by firing sand in a furnace.
Because Li Wenxi had been selling him smelted iron blocks, his furnace had been idle for a long time.
After getting off the tree house, Xu Xin used a wooden bucket to load a full bucket of sand and gravel by the lake, then went to the furnace on the second floor of the tree house, added some wood as firewood, and poured the sand and gravel into the furnace.
[Glass melting time: 12 minutes. 】
The melting time of a single piece of glass is very short. In just one minute, Xu Xin obtained a thick piece of glass. And the furnace continues to work. Judging from the smelting time, the bucket of sand he brought should be able to smelt twelve pieces of glass.
[Glass (green): Glass that is as strong as the walls of a treehouse. It can be safely used as a material for treehouse windows and can also be used to make various glass containers. 】
Good guy, he was just worried about whether the strength of the glass would be too weak, but this introduction immediately put his mind at ease. I didn’t expect that green-grade glass is as strong as the treehouse wall. Is the glass too strong, or is the treehouse wall not defensive enough?
But even if the strength is not enough, there is no need to worry too much. After all, the walls of the tree house are wrapped in dense and thick banyan leaves. What needs to be protected is the exposed tree trunk, and the tree trunk has already been covered with a layer of armor.
Letting the furnace continue to smelt, he returned to the top of the fourth floor and chose to make a glass window on the watch.
[Please select a placement location. 】
Following a familiar process, Xu Xin directly chose the sloping ceiling.
With a "click", a 1*1 ceiling was replaced by thick glass. Through the glass, Xu Xin could see the see-through banyan leaves outside and the sky full of stars.
"It's done!"
This glass window is a fixed window embedded directly into the ceiling and cannot be opened or closed. This is exactly what Xu Xin wants. He just wants to make the top ceiling look like a glass greenhouse. It would be best if it is fixed and cannot be opened. .
After moving the three flowerpots on the third floor, Xu Xin placed the strawberry flowerpot by the window, placed the two new flowerpots in the middle and highest position, and found a few seeds from the trading platform. One pot holds two red berry bushes and the other an orange tree.
These two resources are what Xu Xin uses the most now. Basically, they have to be consumed at night during the event, especially red berries, big (blue). He ate at least a dozen of them in the dungeon, and they were consumed very quickly. , must have its own source.
Both the red berry bush and the orange tree take ten days to bear fruit, but in the large pot (blue), it only takes six days.
I don’t know if the blue-level red berry bush outside has fruited again.
Xu Xin went to the lake and loaded a few buckets of sand back to the tree house, poured them all into the furnace, and installed the melted glass on the ceiling of the top floor. In this way, after working for almost an hour, the ceiling on the top floor was finally half transparent glass.
Standing on this floor and looking up at the sky, you can see the stars and a bright galaxy. It is really beautiful.
"Perfect! This is the real starry sky rooftop. I want to live directly on the top floor!"
There were only three large flowerpots on this floor, which felt too empty. Xu Xin bought fifty green-grade ordinary flowerpots from the points mall. These flowerpots can hold green-grade soil and shorten the growth time.
An ordinary flower pot only costs 5 points, which is equivalent to the points of a green-grade fertilizer. Because Xu Xin has a 30% discount, it only requires 3.5 points, and fifty ordinary flower pots only require 175 points.
Xu Xin gained a lot of points in the dungeon, and the points of the mutated plants killed by the cheetah were also counted towards him. Even if he bought two large blue-level flowerpots, he still had more than 1,500 points, and he was very wealthy. , not distressed at all.
He took Silver King down and ran to a place far away from the tree house. He dug fifty portions of green-level soil and brought it back to the tree house and filled the fifty flower pots.
He wants to turn the entire top floor into a plantation.
He has been thinking about a question: Will heavy rains cause floods? If floods really come, how many plant resources in the outside world can survive the floods? Xu Xin doesn't want to rely on the weather for a living. If he builds this plantation, he will be able to be self-sufficient even if external resources are destroyed by floods after the rainy season!
