"Rest? How can I rest! Iâm so excited I canât sleep at all!"
"Me too, I want to help the big explorers!"
"Better not, leave the World Tree to the pros. Theyâre the ones who planted it and have the right to be the first ones in, besides, the World Tree is so big, theyâll probably have to divide it inside, right?"
"Hey, hey, do you think such a big World Tree is owned like our treehouse? Who does this tree belong to?"
"Who else could it be? Of course, itâs Xu Xinâs!"
"No way, such a big World Tree with only one owner? I bet lots of owners are allowed."
"Youâre right, speaking of which... perhaps we can get some shares? Hehehe..."
"Youâre getting me all excited!"
"Damn, what rest! Letâs all party together!"
"I...Iâll pass, I need some rest. I arrived last night, stayed up excited about Crystal City and the World Tree, hardly slept, today has been tense and exciting again, if I donât sleep, I canât hold up..."
"Sleep? At your age, can you sleep? Here, take this!"
"Huh? This is... a blue-grade orange? Good stuff! Youâre giving it to me?"
"Hey, itâs not worth much here, if it werenât for the explorers saying normal rest is best, and that this thing might have side effects on the body, telling us not to rely on it too much, I wouldnât ever sleep!"
"So rich! Impressive, really impressive... but what to do without sleep, no computers or phones here, just stare blankly?"
"Kidding, weâre no longer like you were, living alone. Look, so many people here, men and women, used to be lonely, now together, late at night, what do we do?"
"Ah...? Holy... you... could it be... brother!! Count me in!"
"Haha, here you go!"
"This is!?... Poker? You mean playing cards!"
"Not just poker, but also Mahjong, Chess, Go, Ludo, Monopoly, Werewolf, even script killing, and many more fantastic games, should we not stay up all night?"
"Ah...ahaha! I thought... letâs play! Must play!"
"What did you think?"
"impar... oh wait, hey! Letâs get excited!"
"Letâs go!"
Xu Xin watched these people with a warm feeling in his heart.
Crystal City now really has a bit of life.
Though there are just two or three hundred people, he believes they will become more and more successful.
These survivors didnât disturb the explorersâ members, nor did they enter the World Tree with them, theyâve set up barbeques and tables in Crystal City, started a joyous all-night celebration.
On the side, Wang Lei watched them eagerly: "Iâm...damn, theyâre really going back to happiness, I want to join them too... huh? Holy, Qin Fu that kid actually snuck in with them to play!"
Xu Xin also paused for a moment, then smiled.
Qin Fu, always so carefree.
Wang Lei turned to the other explorers beside him, tentatively asking: "Why donât you check it out? Iâm not going?"
"What are you talking about?" Wen Guixin glared at him, "Arenât you curious whatâs inside the World Tree? We might be living up there someday!"
"What could it be, just a giant house..." Wang Lei muttered, "Isnât it just an ultra-enlarged treehouse? Iâll go when youâre done, working so late, even capitalists cry..."
"Youâre slacking off just because the World Tree grew?" Wen Guixin looked at him as if disappointed, "Do you know, weâre just starting! Weâre all considered pioneers!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..."
Xu Xin then looked at the World Tree roots hanging from above, "This World Tree might have functions beyond our imagination."
These World Tree roots retracted into the crown during the previous battle, now the World Tree is mature, theyâve slowly descended, some reaching the ground.
"Should we go inside and see!" Zeng Tao pulled Xu Xinâs arm excitedly, "Nothing more to say here, letâs hurry and check it out!"
Jin Yue stood behind Xu Xin, with a long-lost smile on her face.
"By the way, how do we go up there?" Lou FeiâEr looked up, one hand resting on a thick dangling root, "Should we let this root pull us up? Hey, didnât you go up before? How did you get up?"
She looked at Shi Wanyun who was examining the thick roots with her.
"Hmm... I donât know." Shi Wanyun shook her head lightly, "I was unconscious, when I woke up, I was already in the World Tree. Even if I knew, maybe itâs not applicable to this World Tree."
"Why?" Lou FeiâEr asked in confusion.
