Xu Xin was preparing to benefit the team.
Todayâs enhancement was spiritual power, making it an opportune time for him to carve more artworks.
Straight to work.
He went to the art room and sat at the carving and painting workbench.
It seemed like quite a while since he last engaged in artistic creation.
"Yip!" Keke ran inside from outside and jumped onto his lap to lay down.
It hadnât been around Xu Xin all day yesterday, nor did it sleep in the same room with him last night.
The little guy couldnât handle it and now wanted to stick with Xu Xin at all times.
Xu Xin patted its little head, "You can stay here, but donât disturb my work, okay?"
"Yip!"
Xu Xin took out a green-level crystal.
Letâs warm up first.
He had a lot of these in hand now, besides the pile he obtained last rainstorm season, he also got a bunch from the lakebed in the cave.
Picking up the carving knife, he began to carve on it.
Quickly, he entered into an unselfconscious state, with his hand moving swiftly with the carving knife.
Three minutes later, Xu Xin looked at the completed small statue and then at the time on his watch, his eyes widened.
...So fast!
Carved a green-level statue in just three minutes!
In one hour, he could produce 20 pieces!
One can hold a maximum of 10 green-level statues, and in an hour, he could meet the maximum needs for green-level crystals for two people!
Moreover, he wasnât exhausted at all!
Very nice!
Then, letâs carve green-level crystals first.
His own decoration level was enough for now; whether in the alchemy lab or the workshop, the success rates were already very high, and the speed in the art room had become fast as well.
Today, letâs first enhance the decoration level for others in the [Explorers].
Especially Li Wenxi and Qi Xuefei, their functional areas are related to their abilities; enhancing their decoration level benefits the team the most.
Xu Xin calmed down, constantly moving the carving knife, with one green-level small carving continuously being born in his hands.
When he carved the eighteenth small statue, his watch vibrated, it was a voice message from Ji Chaoyang.
"Itâs ten oâclock, Wang Lei has already said in the group, he has triggered the event. Lou FeiâEr should have gone up too, right?" Ji Chaoyang asked.
Xu Xin paused his carving, petting the well-behaved Keke in his arms, "Hmm, she left an hour ago, saying she was going to check it out."
"Then letâs go up to the top level of the snow peak to see. The issue with the Stone Giants you mentioned yesterday also needs to be verified."
"Alright. You probably havenât seen the statues in the daylight, right?"
"I went up to check around 7 this morning. Maybe because it wasnât bright yet, the statues didnât change much, but..."
"But what?"
"That brightly lit wyvern from last night, its movement has changed; after we left last night, it might have come to life," Ji Chaoyang said solemnly.
"Oh?" Xu Xinâs eyebrow twitched.
He wasnât afraid of the other statues, but just that wyvern statue; could it be that it was the one that moved last night?
"Anyway, letâs go up and take a look. Iâll get ready and come find you soon." Ji Chaoyang said.
"Alright."
Disconnecting the voice call, he continued to finish carving the statue in his hand.
Eighteen small green-level statues were laid out before him.
He immediately traded eight to Li Wenxi and ten to Qi Xuefei.
He had already carved two specifically for Li Wenxi before, so just eight were needed to reach the limit.
A couple of seconds later, Li Wenxi initiated a video call request.
In the video, she was in a parasitic treehouse, with two other people, a man and a woman, whom he didnât know, most likely the people Lou FeiâEr brought back last night.
"Why did you suddenly send me so many small statues?" Li Wenxi was a little surprised, "8 statues, thatâs 80 decoration level, so much!"
"Carved a few at home, my carving speed is quite fast now; however, the maximum is ten, beyond that wonât increase the decoration level..."
Xu Xin noticed that behind her, upon hearing her refer to him as Xu Xin, those two immediately showed expressions of admiration, their intense gazes almost made him feel like he had walked into a cult.
"Thatâs plenty, my chance of melting high-tier materials can be increased a bit more. Look, our new members!" At this point, Li Wenxi, dressed in casual wear, focused the camera on the man and woman in the treehouse.
"Hello." Xu Xin smiled and nodded.
"Hello, Boss Xu!"
"Hello, Brother Xin!"
Although both appeared full of admiration, they were very reserved in their behavior. It seemed, to others, his name was already synonymous with super strength.
"Are you heading out today?" Li Wenxi retracted the camera.
"Mm, Iâm about to make a trip to the snow-capped mountain."
"Oh, alright, then I wonât come find you to hang out, hehe..."
"Donât always think about coming to find me, do some serious work." Xu Xin said somewhat helplessly.
"But the snow outside is three meters deep, canât really mine... Maybe Iâll snowboard around, see whatâs nearby, might discover something new."
"Sounds good, but be a bit cautious; this morning, I saw furry creatures."
"Really? Those... marauders? Hmm, I better be careful." Li Wenxiâs expression immediately turned slightly serious.
