Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 887: Chapter 523: Supreme Treehouse Seed

Xu Xin poured out all the other things from his backpack.

What remained wasn’t anything particularly formidable, but it wasn’t bad either.

There were seeds of crops like wheat and rice, as well as seeds of oil plants like peanuts and soybeans.

In addition, there were seeds of fruits and vegetables, all sorts of them.

Although these seeds had endured a long passage of time, they were preserved very well in crystal boxes, each possessing life. As long as they were planted in suitable soil, they would sprout and grow.

Moreover, these seeds were enhanced by time-space technology, meaning they could grow into mature plants in a short period, within days or even a couple of weeks, just like the seeds that survivors dig out using tools.

These are all strategic resources!

"Feels like these things are quite useless, doesn’t it?" Zeng Tao shrugged dismissively at the seeds, "Where are we going to plant these seeds? Every few days there’s a natural disaster or a wave of beast attacks, there’s absolutely no chance for large-scale crop planting, and these can’t be planted in a tree house."

Indeed, those grain and oil plants require vast areas for planting and harvesting. Even if his tree house were bigger, it couldn’t accommodate these crops.

Previously, these seeds wouldn’t have been of much use, at most planting a small patch inside the tree house for personal supply, occasionally enjoying a rare meal of rice or noodles.

But...

Things are different now.

Now, they have a Crystal City.

The Crystal City is impenetrable, and it can control the temperature inside to prevent extremes. It can even calm the beasts that enter.

The wild animals in this world all possess traces of giant beast lineage. From this perspective, this city is a natural shield!

The city isn’t entirely covered in crystal buildings. There is still a large vacant area on the edge of the city, presumably reserved for planting and sowing.

Thinking about it, the few hundred-year-old version of me was quite considerate. This city is really well designed.

"Did you forget we now own a Crystal City?" Lou Fei’Er said, aligning her thoughts with Xu Xin’s. She pointed out the window to the dazzling Crystal City shining in the sunlight.

"Huh? What can that Crystal City do?" Zeng Tao asked, puzzled, "Isn’t our tree house better?"

"That question should be directed to our host." Lou Fei’Er turned to Xu Xin, "That Crystal City, he definitely knows much more about it than we do."

Jin Yue also looked over.

The way Xu Xin behaved in the Crystal Palace, and the fact that only he could open the vault door, all highlighted his inseparable connection with the Crystal City in the eyes of others.

And for Lou Fei’Er, she’s even more convinced now.

She walked to the window, pointing north of the tree house: "Look over there, didn’t you all notice?"

Everyone immediately followed her finger and looked in that direction.

"That’s..." Xu Xin’s eyebrow slightly raised.

"Huh? Is that a... sculpture? A crystal human head sculpture?" Zeng Tao was surprised, leaning on the windowsill to look over there, "Ah, part of it is blocked by the trees, it’s not very clear."

Jin Yue frowned slightly, observing closely, then a hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes as she turned towards Xu Xin.

It seems she already discovered it.

"Correct, that’s the entrance to the underground space where Xu Xin and I went in, and at the entrance is a stone statue exactly like Xu Xin," Lou Fei’Er explained, glancing outside again, "Hmm, now it seems the statue has turned into a crystal sculpture, just like the city below."

Xu Xin was also a bit surprised.

Unexpectedly, this statue had floated to the surface too, shedding its original stone surface to become a crystal statue.

This statue is an entrance device to the underground space. Now turned into a crystal statue on the surface, could it have other functionalities?

We’ll check it out later.

"Huh?" Zeng Tao turned to them, puzzled, pointing at Xu Xin, "What are you saying? A statue that looks just like him? That’s a lie, impossible."

"What she said is true. It’s my statue," Xu Xin nodded, "I pretty much understand the origins of this city now. It’s complicated, so once everyone arrives, I’ll explain it altogether."

Otherwise, telling the story repeatedly would be quite time-consuming.

There’s so much to do right now!

"Huh? What’s this..."

Among the many seeds, there was one particularly round, somewhat distinctive seed that seemed familiar. He picked it up.

[Top-grade Tree House Seed: Can grow into a top-grade tree house, a seed containing sufficient nutrients for its growth. No matter how barren the soil, it can continue to grow, eventually becoming a towering giant tree!]

"...Top-grade Tree House Seed?" Xu Xin was astounded.

And it’s a tree house seed that can grow into a... "giant tree"?!

Seeing the words "giant tree," Xu Xin’s heart skipped a beat.
