CHAPTER 498: CHAPTER 345: EXTREMELY COLD IRON DOOR, LOU FEI’ER REACHES THE TOP! _3

"...As long as he’s not dead, that’s fine. Once we find him, we’ll bring him over to you," Xu Xin said, not knowing what else to say, and just spoke casually.

"Hmm, if we could find him, that would be great."

Saying goodbye to Qi Xuefei, Xu Xin activated the portal and returned to his own treehouse.

It’s lunchtime now.

After tasting Lou Fei’Er’s cooking skills, he felt very dissatisfied with his own, so he just made do with a few bites and went to the art room to start creating art.

Today’s spiritual power amplification matched perfectly with art creation. This morning, he carved eighteen small statues consecutively without feeling any fatigue or excessive mental exhaustion.

Picking up the paintbrush, soon, painting after painting was born under his hand.

Keke somehow climbed onto his leg again, quietly watching him paint.

Art creation time always passes very quickly.

Looking at the sixty green-level paintings in front of him, Xu Xin nodded in satisfaction.

Most of these paintings are landscapes.

Even though mass-produced art might have a lower tone, they all serve the same purpose, each adding ten points to decoration.

He made a voice call to Ma Hongwei, and it was quickly connected on the other end.

"Brother Xin, what’s up?"

"What are you up to?" Xu Xin had been forgetting to contact him and also forgot to bring him into the Explorers group, feeling a bit embarrassed about it.

"I’m studying a new heavy crossbow, but now the decoration score is too low, and the efficiency of my research room is really pathetic," Ma Hongwei said with a tone of helplessness.

Xu Xin directly traded ten paintings to him.

"Whoa!" The other end was stunned, "These... these... ten paintings added 100 decoration points?!"

"There’ll be more in the future. Continue your research," Xu Xin replied.

"Alright!"

Then, he initiated trades with Ji Chaoyang, Li Wenxi, and Qi Xuefei, giving each of them ten paintings.

Qi Xuefei accepted immediately and expressed her thanks to him.

Ji Chaoyang and Li Wenxi were outside at that moment.

Ji Chaoyang had gone exploring somewhere again, and he just replied with "thanks".

Li Wenxi found a mine halfway up a hill that wasn’t buried by snow and took everyone mining with her.

This time she didn’t send a video; she doesn’t like recording when mining, but she did send a voice message, saying she’d accept it once back at the treehouse.

"I wonder what position Fei’Er’s crawled to now."

"Her conditions are better than mine, no need to worry."

Ending the call, Xu Xin looked at the sky outside.

It’s three o’clock in the afternoon now, and according to his calculations, Lou Fei’Er should be close to, or have already crossed that extreme cold section and be nearing the central snow peak.

Hopefully, she won’t encounter any special circumstances.

Xu Xin walked back into the art room, continuing to carve and paint.

He planned to use today to increase the decoration score for everyone in the Explorers while his spiritual power was amplified.

Small carvings and paintings were swiftly created by him.

Time flew by, and the outside sky gradually darkened.

Xu Xin put down the carving knife, looked at the dozens of small sculptures, and stretched lazily.

Despite creating so many, his skill as an artist still hadn’t improved...

He was hoping that once his skill improved, he could start making blue-level decorations.

"Yip!" Keke, who had unknowingly climbed to the window, suddenly got up and called out toward the outside.

"What’s up, Keke? Is someone outside?" Xu Xin got up and walked over.

Outside the treehouse, there was suddenly a voice.

"Xu Xin, owner, are you there? I’m back!"

Hmm?

It’s Lou Fei’Er!

Xu Xin immediately looked out the window and saw Lou Fei’Er in full gear standing under the treehouse. Upon seeing him poking his head out, she waved: "I did it! I climbed up there and since you weren’t around, I teleported straight down to find you!"

It’s past five now, so fast?

Seven hours?!

He glanced at the rankings, sure enough, a new eighth person had appeared.

⑧ Lou Fei’Er 187 Zone

The rankings didn’t show the 188 Zone, but her main treehouse’s territory, the 187 Zone.

Goodness, now the 187 Zone is going to be hot!

This marks the fourth zone with survivors reaching the peak, following the 188 Zone, 1 Zone, and 23 Zone!
