Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1044: Chapter 577: Keke’s Origins – Sneaking In? (2)

"Huh?!" Keke’s ears, which had been moving incessantly, suddenly stood still.

...Such an obvious reaction.

Then it shook its little head and calmly denied, "Huh."

It seemed to react instantly and then started acting.

"You little creature, don’t think I didn’t see your reaction just now?" Xu Xin rubbed its ears irritably, "Your reaction just now said it all."

If it really wasn’t, upon hearing Xu Xin’s question, it should have tilted its little head in confusion.

After all, if someone suddenly asks another, "You’re not from this era, are you?", anyone would think, what’s this guy talking about?

"Huh...?" The little creature seemingly understood what he was thinking, and tilted its head in confusion again, letting out a cry.

As if saying, what are you talking about, I don’t understand.

"So, which time and space did you travel from?" Xu Xin ignored whether it was pretending to be dumb, and asked directly.

He was almost certain.

In his ability description, the so-called "native" referred to creatures that hadn’t experienced time travel during this period.

And this little creature in his arms...

It wasn’t simple after all!

Keke seemed to realize it couldn’t hide, buried its little head in Xu Xin’s arms, and let out a muffled sound, "Huh..."

For the next ten minutes, Xu Xin tried various ways to make it explain, using all kinds of threats and inducements, but the little creature just wouldn’t speak.

Yet it didn’t run away, just kept its head in Xu Xin’s arms, occasionally letting out a muffled cry.

Ultimately, Xu Xin could only shake his head helplessly.

"Then let me ask just one thing, Keke, are you here to help me?" Xu Xin asked softly, looking down.

"Huh!" Keke immediately raised its little head from his arms, "Huh huh!"

"That’s good." Xu Xin stroked its head, "Tell me when you want to."

"Huh huh!"

He’s not sure what kind of existence Keke is, but after living with it for so long, he knows this little creature would never harm him.

That’s enough.

"By the way... Yingying doesn’t seem to know you either." Xu Xin looked at Keke, "You’re really mysterious, where did you come from?"

"Huh!"

Keke jumped out of Xu Xin’s arms, raised its two little paws as if trying to scare him, then dashed upstairs to eat fruit.

"This little creature..."

Xu Xin laughed helplessly.

Fine, let it be.

He stretched his body and stood up.

Since no one has contacted him for the past three hours to get up, it means nothing happened.

However, there’s no point in staying in the treehouse all the time, so he decided to go outside and take a look.

As he descended from the treehouse, he saw several thigh-thick trees on the ground not far away.

"Did Qin Fu just plant these?"

Xu Xin was a bit surprised.

It’s only been three hours, right?

They’ve grown so fast.

They can’t get things from the points store now; fertilizers that were easy to get are now inaccessible.

This means these trees grew so quickly on their own.

No...

It should be Qin Fu’s ability.

His [Elf King] ability can accelerate plant growth.

Speaking of which...

With abilities like [Empress] and [Elf King], who named these abilities anyway?

Too cringe-worthy, making him initially think there might be extraordinary powers in this world.

It turns out to be skills provided by biochips, still technological capabilities.

But...

The ability to travel through time already counts as a superpower.

In his mind, the map appeared, with green friendly dots scattered throughout Crystal City.

But nobody has left the city.

His current eyesight is extraordinary; a quick glance revealed someone not far off.

He walked over.

"Ah, Brother Xin!"

A survivor planting trees saw Xu Xin and greeted him immediately.

"Did Qin Fu ask you to do this?" Xu Xin pointed at the tree seeds in his hand.

"Yes." The survivor nodded, "We all know Qin Fu’s ability. Planting trees is equivalent to surveillance cameras, providing security, so everyone is taking action now."

Indeed.

Looking around, every few dozen meters on the road, you can see a growing sapling.

And at the distant edges of Crystal City, the trees are even denser, with one tree every ten meters, nearly matching the density of urban greenery.

Originally a pure white Crystal City, these patches of green make it look vibrant.

Not only for safety, but visually, it also feels much more pleasant.

"Got it, keep up the work."

Xu Xin bade farewell to the person and headed towards Ma Hongwei’s treehouse.

Wonder how Ma Hongwei’s research is going?

Even from afar, he saw Zeng Tao leaning by the window, hands waving.

What’s happening here?

He quickened his pace.

Zeng Tao lifted her head, looking somewhat dejected.

...Like a college student who never attended a lecture while working on advanced math problems.

It wasn’t just confusion; it was sheer bewilderment.

She saw Xu Xin, and her eyes lit up, immediately climbing out of the window.
