Xu Xin gently stepped onto the skateboard. Accompanied by the sound of the motor, the skateboard started and began to circle this stone pillar summit.
On the map, neither the summit nor its surroundings showed any red dots. All the snowland creatures were three to four hundred meters away from the summit, seemingly afraid to approach.
What kind of magic power does this summit possess?
Around the summit, there was also snow as deep as two meters. Xu Xin and Li Wenxi, standing on their skateboards, glided over the snow around the stone pillar summit.
Until they reached the other side of the summit, the two found nothing unusual.
Xu Xin looked towards the northwest Hilly Resource Zone.
Through his snow goggles, the outline of the hilly area was faintly visible, while the mist surrounding the hills showed a faint reddish hue.
Besides this, he couldnât discern anything else.
The hills that initially seemed the tallest and most conspicuous around here now appeared like small dirt mounds under the impressive backdrop of the summit, failing to spark any interest.
Having circled the summit completely, the two found nothing and had to return to their starting point.
"I thought a mountain this big would surely contain minerals inside, but it doesnât." Li Wenxi remarked with a hint of disappointment.
She could detect metal mineral resources within a five hundred meter radius, yet the mountain, both internally and up to a five hundred meter height, didnât show any sparkle, indicating no metal minerals.
No minerals...
Xu Xin had hoped for the emergence of new metal minerals, but unexpectedly, they found absolutely nothing new.
Does this summit that appeared suddenly really require climbing to explore?
At this moment, the sound of skiing came from behind; it was Ji Chaoyang sliding over.
"Hey, youâre here!" Li Wenxi waved to Ji Chaoyang.
"Howâs it going? Any discoveries?" He stopped beside them, looking up.
Xu Xin shook his head, "I didnât find anything at the base. It seems just a regular mountain."
He looked up at the summit, half of which reached the clouds.
This height truly evokes a sense of awe.
A thousand meters high, how incredibly tall!
Moreover, itâs already so cold down here; up there...
Luckily, thereâs the snow fox scarf; otherwise, he would have had to carry energy core fragments throughout the climb.
Ji Chaoyang glanced at Li Wenxi, hesitated a moment, and suggested, "You want to tag along? I suggest you return. Your abilities donât lie here, and this mountain might be fraught with danger."
"But..." Hearing Ji Chaoyangâs serious suggestion, Li Wenxi couldnât directly argue back. She held onto Xu Xinâs arm, looking hesitant.
Such a novel object was right before her eyes, stirring intense curiosity, yet she didnât want to cause trouble for everyone.
Xu Xin gently stroked Li Wenxiâs head, softly saying, "Let me take you back. Rest, you were so exhausted last night."
"Hmph... You seemed even more tired than me," Li Wenxi grumbled softly, bringing a dark line to Xu Xinâs forehead.
Ji Chaoyang overheard their conversation, showing a subtly enlightened expression, finally understanding why Li Wenxi was here when he arrived this morning.
These two really...
"You guys talk, Iâll circle the mountain and have a look." Ji Chaoyang waved and glided away.
"Well," Xu Xin had already started sliding back on his skateboard. "Itâs just a kilometer away, the skateboard will take less than two minutes to return. Thereâs Li Yajun and Le Youfang on your end to help keep an eye, right?"
"Yes, they are." Li Wenxi didnât stop Xu Xin from sliding back, though her face visibly showed some sulkiness and her lips slightly pouted.
"Iâll give you my tree houseâs âspare keyâ, will you help me keep an eye on the tree house?" Xu Xin whispered in Li Wenxiâs ear.
"...Spare key?" Li Wenxi was stunned for a moment, then raised her head, "What do you mean?"
"It means Iâll give you permission to freely enter and exit my tree house, will you look after it for me?" Xu Xin gently rubbed her cheeks.
"Huh? Permission for the tree house? Free access to your tree house?" Li Wenxiâs eyes slowly widened, then lit up, "Really? How? How can you do that?"
Xu Xin flashed a mysterious smile, "Iâll show you later. If I give you the permission, no more insisting on climbing the snow mountain.
"I wonât, I wonât! Spare key... Yay..." Li Wenxi was immediately appeased, growing more delighted as she pondered, then gave Xu Xin a cheek kiss, "Letâs return, hurry, letâs go back!"
The method of giving Li Wenxi a âspare keyâ is actually very simple.
Other than the parasitic tree house where Lou FeiâEr lives, Xu Xin has another empty parasitic tree house.
If he sets the owner of that parasitic tree house to Li Wenxi, wouldnât she be considered a companion?
Additionally, Xu Xin had previously discovered that under [Parasitic Tree House], the [Permission Management] section allows the parasitic tree house owner the right to enter and exit the main tree house.
Indeed, the parasitic tree house owner, under permission from the main tree house owner, can manipulate the main tree house and enter and exit freely, while the main tree house owner can access the parasitic tree house without needing approval, any time.
