Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

"Isn't it better to have your own treehouse?" Xu Xin looked at her speechlessly.

"I don't want a separate treehouse, I want to live with the owner!" Lou Fei'Er's cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes seemed to be sending signals.

"Alright, stop saying such cheesy things, it makes me want to puke." Xu Xin rolled his eyes, ignored her, and thought of a question, "The red pill that mutated you, where did you get it?"

Lou Fei'Er seemed to punch the air, pouting uninterestedly, not wanting to speak, but couldn't resist answering Xu Xin's question in the end: "That pill, I found it in a dungeon, inside a treasure chest. I only found two pills in total. I took one and have one left."

"Only two?" Xu Xin looked at her skeptically, feeling like Lou Fei'Er was never telling the truth.

"Really, why would I lie to you! It doesn't do any good eating more, so why hide it? Now there's only that one in your hand." Lou Fei'Er said a bit displeased.

...It seems he made the right choice not to eat it directly. Maybe the next time he sees Chang Yin, he can show it to him; perhaps he can research how to make it.

After all, mutation potions were his research creation. Although the mutation pill seems a bit more advanced, with the physical sample, simple replication shouldn't be too hard.

"Let's go; why are you sitting there?"

Seeing she wouldn't get up, Xu Xin recalled she couldn't stand and walk now, so he said, "I'll put you in the bracelet to take you over."

Bracelet?

That dark space?

Lou Fei'Er suddenly moved back a few steps in terror, "No, don't, don't touch me!"

This time it's not an act; she's truly scared. She's genuinely developed a phobia of that space, probably reaching the level of bracelet phobia.

"It'll be quick, soon." Xu Xin stepped forward.

"Do I have to go down?"

"That's right."

"No! I won't go!" Lou Fei'Er stubbornly raised her head, pointing at the Silver King and Mimi, "Why can they live here and I can't? I've signed a contract with you, same as them, and you're treating me differently!"

She's making a last effort, under no circumstances does she want to move out, and even less does she want to enter that dark and silent space that drives people insane.

"Because I need you to verify something." Xu Xin extended his villainous left hand toward her.

"No! Master, you can hold me instead, okay? I don't want to enter the bracelet~" Lou Fei'Er smiled and moved back again, avoiding Xu Xin's left hand with the bracelet.

She's compromised, since she can't go against Xu Xin's words, but she really doesn't want to enter that bracelet.

"...Alright." Xu Xin lowered his left hand and moved forward as if to lift her princess style.

Just as Lou Fei'Er let out a sigh of relief, Xu Xin's left hand touched her body and instantly put her into the bracelet.

"Wha? Wah wah?" Keke stood on the sofa, tilting her small head as if to say, wasn't she promised not to be put inside?

"Ow?" Silver King called out in confusion.

Mimi rolled her eyes at Xu Xin, seemingly accusing him of being deceitful.

Xu Xin looked at them speechlessly, turning the bracelet.

These guys have already considered Lou Fei'Er part of their group, huh.

This woman is too tempting, he fears she'll make some small move. Reasonably speaking, it's been so long since such things happened, he really might not be able to hold himself.

He absolutely doesn't want anything to happen with this woman; at least his upper body doesn't. This woman is too dangerous, even with a signed contract, Xu Xin is still wary of her.

Besides, if he ever seeks companionship in this world, he still prefers someone like Li Wenxi.

This Lou Fei'Er...

Just be a tool character obediently.

Xu Xin went down the main treehouse and first entered Parasite Treehouse 02.

The treehouse that was destroyed hours ago is not as broken anymore, and the cracks on the screen have become smaller. At this rate, by tomorrow morning, Parasite Treehouse 02 should be fully repaired.

This repair speed is nice.

Still, the house can't be used temporarily, let's go to Parasite Treehouse 01.

Xu Xin arrived at Parasite Treehouse 01. Though it was night, the treehouse wasn't dark because the core in the floor groove was steadily charging, emitting a pearly white glow.

He released Lou Fei'Er.

"Ah...You! You liar!" Lou Fei'Er still hugged her legs curled up into a ball. Once released, she glared at Xu Xin, her face full of fury.

She's traumatized by that pitch-black space, suddenly entering it was like a claustrophobic person being shut in an enclosed space, almost stopping her heart.

"Then again, you deceive better than me." Xu Xin rolled his eyes, swiped his treehouse watch, changed the owner of Parasite Treehouse 01 to Lou Feifei.

Although the 'owner' changed, Xu Xin remains the master of this treehouse and can shut down or activate all functions, also can change the so-called 'owner' anytime.

Because all of these functions can only be set in the main treehouse, and the owner of the main treehouse can only be him.

"Alright, from now on, this treehouse is where you'll temporarily stay."

With that, Xu Xin took out the various blue-level furniture from her previous treehouse and randomly arranged them on the first floor of the treehouse.

"Just make do for tonight, you can tidy up yourself when you recover tomorrow."

"You... you..." Lou Fei'Er was too angry to speak.

"Oh, right, you should quickly control the treehouse screen and see which area channel this treehouse belongs to." Xu Xin thoughtfully moved a chair to the front of the screen.

Lou Fei'Er glared at him, but eventually sat down obediently, lifting her still-weak arm to tap open the screen.

To Xu Xin's disappointment, the screen displayed the area channel for Jungle Area 188, not her original Area 187.

"What a pity..." Xu Xin shook his head. It seems they will have to temporarily keep that treehouse.

And Lou Fei'Er had already widened her eyes after opening the area channel.

"Area 188? I'm now a person of Area 188? You... you guys actually still have more than three thousand people! Oh wait, it's us, we actually have over three thousand companions!"

The number of people in the area channel was indeed over three thousand, but Xu Xin was surprised to find that this number was one more than what he just saw.

Could it be because Lou Fei'Er joined Area 188? Did she really join Area 188?

"Try saying something on there." Xu Xin suddenly thought of something and suggested it to her.

"Oh." After realizing she was connected to Area 188, Lou Fei'Er became much more compliant, feeling that their positions had aligned somewhat with Xu Xin, and there didn't seem to be any need to resist stubbornly.

Of course, she should still find an opportunity to break this bizarre contract. She thought to herself.

Lou Fei'Er: "The weather is nice today."

She posted a message in the area channel, and it showed her name!

She really could speak with her own name in the area channel of Area 188!

Xu Xin pulled out her watch again, which was still connected to her previous treehouse, and linked to the area channel and trading platform of Area 187. He posted a message in the area channel of Area 187.

Lou Fei'Er: "Ah ah."

Her name was also displayed in Area 187.

Strange, so is she now considered a person of Area 188, or Area 187?

After thinking for a moment, Xu Xin roughly understood the division of areas.

It seems that the area belonging is not to the survivor, but to each treehouse.

Survivors do not have a fixed area division; if a survivor owns a treehouse in another area, then they can become a person of that area too.

The area of a survivor can actually be changed!

However, although it seems simple, the cost of this change is quite high.

Xu Xin had controlled Lou Fei'Er's treehouse, and in that treehouse, he didn't find the option to change the owner, so it's evident that an untransplanted initial treehouse with a core and a protection feature cannot change its owner.

The owner of this treehouse can only be the survivor who planted it. When the survivor dies, the treehouse will die with it.

Therefore, there is no possibility for a survivor to take another area's survivor's treehouse and become a survivor of that area. After all, the only thing that can be taken is the treehouse seed.

If you want to become a survivor of another area, you must have another area's parasitic treehouse. The best way is to join another area with your treehouse.

But a parasitic treehouse will definitely be controlled by the main treehouse...

This means that if a area's survivor wants to change their area, they must become someone else's vassal.

No, not necessarily.

Xu Xin looked at Lou Fei'Er in front of him; she was browsing the area channel of Area 188 with great interest.

She should now be considered a person of two areas.

The reason is that her treehouse was not destroyed, but Xu Xin gave her a parasitic treehouse, so she now essentially owns treehouses in two areas.

Of course, the actual controller of these two treehouses is Xu Xin.

Simply put, a treehouse is like a house where you can settle, and a survivor is like a person who can have multiple residences.

Of course, being part of multiple areas is generally difficult, since no one would let someone from another area live in a parasitic treehouse they painstakingly acquired without reason, unless they come with a seed to plant one themselves.

In conclusion, he now understood that he could turn survivors from other areas into people of Area 188! As long as their treehouses are transplanted into the protection zone of a local treehouse in Area 188 and the ownership title is given back to them.

However, in their original area, they are independent survivors, and if they switch areas, they can only become restricted vassals.

Although there's a way to integrate areas, it's still not that simple, is it?
