In my ears, that strange and unpleasant sound seemed to become clearer.

"Keke, can you really not sense anything unusual nearby?" Xu Xin raised his head, looking at the snow-covered, endless forest in front of him, and asked softly.

"Hmm?" Keke climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulder, then shook her little head, "Hmm..."

It seems that, at least for now, there's nothing dangerous around.

Xu Xin slid open his watch and clicked on the regional channel.

In the regional channel, although everyone was in a tense war-preparation state, no one had encountered anything strange.

Xu Xin looked down at the ground again. The patterns on the surface seemed to become clearer.

The unpleasant sound made Xu Xin's head ache.

He couldn't take it anymore and stabbed the ground with a shovel.

[Obtained Ordinary Soil (Green) *1]

Just a simple piece of ordinary soil, which slightly relieved Xu Xin's tense mood.

He was afraid that all the soil around would become polluted, which would have a huge impact.

Looking into the dug pit, he saw that even on the surface of the newly dug soil, there were these wet patterns, and the darker feeling became more pronounced as it went deeper, becoming clearer to see.

"... It's not just the surface of the land, is it?"

Xu Xin glanced around at the thickly snow-covered earth and forest and decided to head back to the treehouse.

Outside was still too dangerous.

He took a step forward, jumped, and directly leaped into the range of the protected area of the Plant Heart.

Because he was holding a fragment of the energy core, wherever he walked, the temperature would rise, and the snow on the ground showed signs of melting.

Xu Xin cleared out a hundred-meter area of snow.

Fortunately, there were no strange patterns on the ground near the treehouse.

He breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the treehouse.

Lou Fei'Er was at the monitor, manipulating Xu Xin's screen, muttering occasionally, "Close to 700 decoration points... So powerful, really powerful!"

On the screen was the [Decoration Points] page.

Because she was so amazed, her attention was entirely focused on the screen, and she didn't notice Xu Xin coming up.

Silver King and Mimi still lay by the fireplace, warming themselves. Without Xu Xin's instructions, they wouldn't willingly restrict Lou Fei'Er's actions.

"... What are you doing? Who allowed you to peek?"

"Ah!" Lou Fei'Er was startled, shivered all over, and quickly turned around, seeing Xu Xin's somewhat cold expression, which scared her pale. She thought inwardly, 'Oh no, oh no, I'm going into the bracelet,' "I... I was just looking..."

She listened to Xu Xin's words after coming up, first operated the control panel to observe around, but the control panel was installed by Xu Xin next to the screen, she got itchy-handed and touched it, not realizing not only could it be triggered, it could also be freely manipulated!

Seeing options she had never seen before, like [Alchemy], [Artist], etc., she couldn't resist her curiosity, glanced at Xu Xin still far outside, and secretly began checking the options.

Then she got absorbed and didn't even notice when Xu Xin returned.

Xu Xin's expression turned dark as he looked at Lou Fei'Er, who was standing in front of him a bit helpless, like a student caught stealing by a teacher.

He really didn't expect Lou Fei'Er could control his screen, control the main treehouse screen!

"I... I didn't do anything, just looked..." Xu Xin didn't speak, coupled with his somewhat gloomy expression, made Lou Fei'Er exceptionally afraid.

She subconsciously glanced at the bracelet still on Xu Xin's left hand.

"During your last weak period, did you touch this screen?" Xu Xin suddenly asked.

He thought that Lou Fei'Er had stayed in this room all day back then.

"This... I... I..." Lou Fei'Er wanted to cry but had no tears; she had indeed touched it last time.

Though last time she hadn't successfully started it, Mimi directly pinned her to the ground, and only let her up when the screen went dark, so she probably saw nothing...

But how could she dare say that!

He's not going to settle old scores, is he? Summing both new and old scores, then lock her in the bracelet for a few hours...

She would absolutely go crazy!

But in front of Xu Xin, she didn't dare to test with her acting skills now; it would backfire, so she stood helplessly, stammering, unable to articulate.

"Tell the truth. I won't do anything." Xu Xin saw Lou Fei'Er had been sneaking glances at his bracelet, knew she was somewhat afraid, his tone softened slightly, "Did you touch the screen that day?" He certainly wouldn't lock Lou Fei'Er in the bracelet when there might be a crisis at any moment.

No need for Xu Xin to tell, she couldn't say anything false because the contract prohibited her from lying.

Finally, she could only confess obediently, "Yes, last time I tried too, but Mimi directly stopped me, so I saw nothing... Um, Master, considering I make breakfast for you guys, spare me this time! Next time I absolutely won't dare! I promise I won't peek at your abilities and data anymore! I really was just curious, had no other ideas..."

Lou Fei'Er stood like being punished, pitifully looking at Xu Xin, pleading for mercy.

To avoid being locked into the bracelet, she disregarded her face. Her dignity was long lost in front of Xu Xin, so losing more or less face simply didn't matter anymore.
