Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

The "screen" of World Tree is actually at this location.

No wonder there is such a space under the World Tree that is inexplicably wrapped by roots.

"Hey..." Coco lay on Xu Xin's shoulder and looked at the four screen shadows.

The four screens are all dim at first, and you can't see what's on them.

Only the screen that Xu Ying had just reached out to slide showed a scene the moment she touched it.

Xu Xin could tell at a glance that this was an overall map of the world in the World Tree, with everything from terrain to distance data included.

The terrain in the entire World Tree world has no undulations at all and is flat. From the data point of view, the size is similar to what Xu Xin and the others estimated before.

Xu Xin stretched out her hand and swiped the screen, and the scene immediately changed.

The field of view can be zoomed in or the angle can be changed.

It's like playing a game from God's perspective.

Xu Xin saw the area cultivated by the explorers, which was located near the center and slightly southeast of the entire World Tree world.

He zoomed in and saw the specific situation in that area very clearly.

Xu Xin saw Li Wenxi who was about to enter her tree house at a glance.

"Oh! I saw my sister-in-law!" Xu Ying said in surprise, "It's so clear!"

"Huh? Why are you so surprised? Don't you know the ability of World Tree?" Xu Xin glanced at her in surprise.

"It's clear. In the past, the World Tree we lived in was managed by ourselves, and we had certain permissions. However, this World Tree is quite special."

Xu Ying stretched out her hand to slide the scene on the screen with great interest, looking at the newly reclaimed area from a bird's eye view.

"The World Tree we lived in before was much smaller than the one Shi Wanyun had been to. There was no map at all, and there was no need for this function." She nodded her lips, "And, because our world The tree is relatively small and has several layers inside. If you really look at it from a bird's eye view like this, you won't be able to see much, right?"

really.

This perspective is somewhat similar to a satellite map.

Only in a small-world situation like this one in the World Tree can one overlook everything.

"Well...it's a pity that I can't see the inside of the tree house or the house." Xu Ying adjusted the angle of her vision and then said regretfully.

"What are you doing in the tree house, spying on others?" Xu Xin said angrily.

"Hehe." Xu Ying did not deny it, and then looked at Xu Xin, "Well, brother, you have map ability, right?"

Xu Xin nodded.

He actually has a map of the entire World Tree in his mind. Of course, his map ability cannot be used for peeping. It is just a top-down structural map with a fixed perspective, and even the people and beasts on it are just spots of light.

"This World Tree's map ability may be the one you added to the World Tree's seeds." Xu Ying grabbed the screen twice to restore the map to a size where the panoramic view could be seen, "After all, among us, Only you have this kind of technology."

oh……?

In other words, his own map ability is probably a degraded version of this World Tree's map ability?

interesting.

"Okay, let's look at other screens!"

Xu Ying waved her hand at the virtual shadow on the second screen.

The second screen also lit up.

It’s still a landscape.

"Jungle?" Xu Xin was slightly startled, "Is this side outside the World Tree?"

This side is obviously the jungle outside the World Tree.

Xu Xin saw the jungle and the lake where the giant anaconda lived in the middle of the lake.

The jungle seemed to be at a standstill, and the birds in the sky were basically stagnant. It could be seen that time outside was flowing very slowly.

"Oh, the normal World Tree also has this function. You can observe the scene around the World Tree, and you can also control the roots of the World Tree through the screen. Look at me!"

As she spoke, Xu Ying swiped horizontally towards the screen, and the screen was instantly stretched!

The elongated part circled around the platform where the two were sitting, and connected with the other side of the screen, forming an omnidirectional ring screen.

"Hey?" Coco raised her little head and looked around.

Xu Ying swiped upward again, and the top of the screen began to stretch, and then the entire screen closed.

What was originally a rectangular screen turned into a hemisphere, covering Xu Xin and Xu Ying on the high platform.

And the scene on the screen is exactly the scene in all directions of Yggdrasil!

Even on the high platform at his feet, images appeared.

Crystal City.

It is the Crystal City shrouded in the canopy of the World Tree.

Standing here and looking at the scene on the screen, Xu Xin seemed to have become the world tree, observing the surroundings from the perspective of a giant.

"Hey!" Coco jumped down from Xu Xin's shoulder, got close to the ground, and scratched a few times with her little paws on the image of Crystal City reflected on the ground.

"That's okay!" Xu Ying waved her hand.

Suddenly, a root shot straight to the ground.

The roots penetrated into the ground easily, like poking tofu with chopsticks.

"Manipulating the roots outside the World Tree here relies on the World Tree itself. We don't need to expend power." Xu Ying waved her hand, and all the aerial roots hanging down outside the World Tree began to twist slightly.

"Oh, it turns out it can still be like this!" Xu Xin said in surprise.

Xu Ying waved her hand again, and her movements stopped: "Didn't you just say that petrified creatures will attack? This can come in handy, but I don't think it matters. Anyway, those petrified creatures can't do anything to the World Tree. harm."

"It's always good to have a method... huh? Wait a minute." Xu Xin reacted and frowned, "Just now, the flow rate of time in the outside world is the same as inside again?"

If the time flow rate of the root movement just shown was different, it should be very slow in the eyes of Xu Xin and the two of them.

"Ah...it must have been affected by me." Xu Ying said embarrassedly, "Because I wanted to show you, I subconsciously affected the flow of time to the same speed. It has recovered now."

The scenery in all directions has returned to its original flow speed, but the bird that was stagnant in the air just now has flown to nowhere.

Xu Ying's subconscious influence on the flow of time is basically the same as Xu Xin's previous speech situation.

Xu Xin immediately asked her doubts: "How do we affect the flow of time?"

"Well... this is my first time coming into contact with the World Tree that is affected by the power of time and space."

Xu Ying felt a little guilty.

"I don't know exactly how to control it. When we transform this seed, we speculate that the owner of the World Tree can adjust the flow rate of time in the World Tree, but only... adjust the flow rate of time in the World Tree to be the same as the outside world. , cannot be adjusted to other flow rates.”

"But how to adjust it, I don't know." Xu Xin took over the words and took Coco into his arms as she climbed up his legs again.

"Ahaha..." Xu Ying laughed awkwardly, "There's nothing we can do. We only have this World Tree seed, and we can't test it at all."

"...Thanks for your courage to reform, you are not afraid of being destroyed." Xu Xin shook his head.

"But it turns out that our choice was correct." Xu Ying raised her head, "And we are also very familiar with the World Tree itself, so we are fully confident."

"With complete certainty, does it mean the error ranges from three times the time flow rate to a hundred times the time flow rate?" Xu Xin joked.

"Well..." Xu Ying was at a loss for words. She immediately changed the subject and reached out to the third screen, "Let's take a look at the next one!"

The third screen lights up.

Familiar interface and options.

Obviously, this screen is similar to the screen in the tree house.

"Finally found this side." Xu Ying looked at the options above, "We give those people the power to control the World Tree on this screen."

"Hmm...?" Xu Xin's pupils suddenly shrank.

"This is……"

He reached out and pointed at the screen.

He saw that there was an option for [World Tree Communication]!

World Tree Communication? !

"Ah, that is the option for communication between World Tree and World Tree." Xu Ying explained, "In the World Tree where we lived, we could communicate at any time inside the World Tree, but only Through this method, we can contact other World Trees.”

"We can actually contact other world trees..."

Xu Xin looked at the page that appeared after clicking the [World Tree Communication] option, and was shocked again.

Three signals…

Can this contact the other three World Trees? !

"These three World Trees should be the three closest ones." Xu Ying was also surprised, "It is what I said before, the World Tree planted on the support pillars of the underground world and at least a thousand kilometers away from us. , I didn’t expect to be able to establish a connection.”

"These three world trees will be..."

"They should all be human beings." Xu Ying clicked on one of them directly, "Let's try contacting them and we'll find out."

"Hey! You..." Xu Xin saw the request being sent before she could react, and her eyes suddenly widened, "Are you... not too cautious?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Xu Ying looked indifferent.

"Would it affect their thinking if we don't contact them? Moreover, the people living in the World Tree on this half of the earth should be human lackeys. Those alien invaders will not live on half of the planet. Maybe, they can Contact the mysterious voice that has been teasing you before."

It seems like it really doesn't matter.

The hemispherical screen has not yet been retracted. After Xu Ying clicked on the communication, the time flow rate outside was once again the same as inside.

Xu Xin suddenly had a hint of enlightenment in her heart.

This World Tree has the ability to temporarily slow the flow of time to the same speed as the outside world. I am afraid it is just to... allow people inside the World Tree to communicate with the outside world without hindrance, right?

The request rang for ten seconds.

Unfortunately, the other party did not accept the communication, but directly disconnected it.

The outside scene immediately froze.

"Ah! Is this rejected?" Xu Ying did not try other world trees, but sent a request to that world tree again.

As a result, the connection is no longer possible.

"It can't be that I've been blocked." Xu Ying said helplessly, "What are you doing? We are all human beings. Wouldn't it be nice to have some contact with each other? However, if you are so afraid of contacting this side, it seems that they must be lackeys over there. Forget it. No more trying, it’s time for us to get down to business.”

The two immediately found the [Permission Grant] they wanted in the options.

Click on the option and there will be a list of everyone currently in World Tree on the page.

Xu Xin found the names of the explorer members and gave them permission to enter and exit the World Tree and use the elevators.

"If they come here, can they control these screens?" Xu Xin asked Xu Ying.

"Well, only the owner of World Tree can control this screen." Xu Ying pointed to the option screen, "After all, this involves the authority of World Tree itself. But they can control the other two."

Xu Ying pointed to the World Tree world map screen and the hemispherical screen still covering it.

Xu Xin nodded and looked at the other options on the screen.

These are all familiar options

There are some options above, which are common options that are initially available in the treehouse.

"This World Tree actually has the ability to function as a functional area..." Xu Ying was a little surprised. "This is really surprising. There are no rooms or floors here. Could it be that the land is divided into functional areas?"

Ribbon?

"For example, a planting area or a livestock area?" Xu Xin thought of the outside planning.

"Oh!" Xu Ying clapped her hands, "Awesome, urban functional area planning?"

Xu Xin looked at the last side.

"What about the fourth side?"

He immediately reached out and lit up the fourth screen.

There is only one option for the entire screen.

【Time flow control】

"Ah! This screen is...!" Xu Ying's eyes lit up when she saw this option.

Xu Xin immediately clicked on the option.

[Manual time flow control: When turned on, the time flow inside World Tree will slow down to the same speed as the outside world, making it easier for internal members of World Tree to communicate with the outside world. 】【closed】

[Automatic time flow control: When turned on, the holder of the World Tree can control the time flow rate through consciousness. 】【Turned on】

Xu Xin and Xu Ying looked at each other.

"Turn off automatic controls!"

The two reached an agreement and immediately turned off the automatic time flow control.

Although it is convenient for the two of them to control the flow of time with their consciousness, it is prone to problems.

Let's let the flow of time be fixed at one hundred to one for the time being.

Although this may prevent them from communicating across internal and external channels at any time, it is still more stable.

After all, the two of them couldn't even control it stably.

"Is everything done? It's time to go up, brother! I have something to tell you!"

Xu Xin wanted to see the functions of those screens, but Xu Ying grabbed her wrist and activated the teleportation.

…

"I just told you to tell me before you teleport." Xu Xin shook his head helplessly.

"Hey..." Coco hid far away, seeming to cast a shadow on Xu Ying. This little guy didn't know why, but he was a little afraid of Xu Ying's teleportation ability.

"I was just shocked, okay!" Li Wenxi complained, "You two suddenly appeared in my tree house, I almost screamed..."

Xu Ying teleported to Li Wenxi's tree house.

"Uh...blame her." Xu Xin pointed at Xu Ying, feeling helpless, "So what's the matter? It's so urgent."

"There is one thing that is really urgent." Xu Ying looked at Li Wenxi, "It's something about the underground world below us."

The next thing?

"Ah! It must be about the underground human base!" Li Wenxi suddenly realized.

She sat next to Xu Xin and explained to him, "Xu Xin, your mind-reading ability should be able to read the voices of those in the human base, right?"

The humans in the underground base...

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly opened.

hiss--

yes!

Those humans have never experienced time travel.

They have been reproduced from generation to generation thousands of years ago!

If Xu Xin's inference about his mind-reading ability is correct, then he can indeed read the voices of those humans!
