Chapter 478: Chapter 336 The Appearance of the 3rd Person on the List_2
"Outside, it’s snowing again..." Li Wenxi reached her hand towards the window, and a large snowflake drifted onto her palm.
Last time it snowed, she was happily pulling everyone along for a snowball fight, but now it made her a bit gloomy.
"Tomorrow this snow will be even deeper, won’t it... Most of the mining pits have been buried by snow, Aniu can’t walk on it, and if this continues, we won’t be able to replenish ore. The raw ore back in the treehouse is going to be all smelted away..."
Don’t be fooled by her staying here with Xu Xin; her furnace in the treehouse has never stopped, constantly smelting ore.
However, recently, due to the weather, she hasn’t taken anyone out to mine, and the reserve of raw ores is running low.
"Do we still have much high-level ore?" Xu Xin asked, "If the teleportation arrays between the snow mountains really get connected, each person over there will need a coordinate. I currently have one and need to make four more, so..."
"Forty portions of blue-grade iron blocks, forty portions of blue-grade steel blocks, eighty portions of blue-grade metal materials..." Li Wenxi answered, then nodded, "Barely enough, but after making them, we’ll be broke!"
"As long as it’s enough for our current needs, that’s fine. Turn back around."
"Hm? What’s up?" Li Wenxi turned her head to look at Xu Xin.
Xu Xin rotated his wristband, and immediately, a giant egg full of cracks appeared on the floor.
"What a big egg!" Li Wenxi’s eyes widened, "Why so many cracks? Bad egg!"
"This is a little reward from my climbing process." Xu Xin tapped the egg lightly, and the shell emitted a faint cracking sound, "It’s not bad; there’s a living life inside."
Xu Xin narrated the story of how he obtained the egg to Li Wenxi.
"Huh?" Li Wenxi immediately came over, squatting next to the giant egg to examine it closely, "What’s inside this egg?"
"I don’t know either." Xu Xin shook his head, "Maybe, it’s the egg of those bald eagles that attacked me."
"The egg of a bald eagle... is it this big?" Li Wenxi gestured, "Really big!"
"Beast egg, yes." Xu Xin thought it wasn’t an issue.
A bio specially cultivated in a room with specific instruments is definitely not an ordinary species.
Of course, it may not be a bald eagle either.
Xu Xin gently lifted the egg, placed it beside the fireplace, increased the surrounding temperature, and warned the animals near the fireplace not to break it.
Better to let it hatch on its own.
This egg likely cracked due to a sharp temperature change, and the creature inside might not be mature yet. Breaking it prematurely might be equivalent to a preemie.
"Roar!" Silver King responded.
Mimi only glanced at it, showing no interest in the egg.
However, Axue lay beside the egg, curiously scrutinizing this entirely cracked egg.
"Really wonder what kind of egg it is; would it be a bird? Can it carry people to fly?" Li Wenxi asked excitedly.
"Quite possibly." Xu Xin smiled.
"Really! Riding a big bird, just thinking about it is thrilling." Li Wenxi looked at the egg, her expression filled with anticipation.
At that moment, Lou Fei’Er brought out two plates of food. She curiously glanced at the suddenly appearing egg on the ground but didn’t ask much, placing the dishes on the table, "Dinner’s ready!"
"Fei’Er’s cooking really smells nice." Li Wenxi immediately sat at the table.
"... Yawn?" Keke, who was about to fall asleep, was awakened by the aroma.
After having the meal together, Li Wenxi helped Lou Fei’Er wash the dishes.
Having eaten well and starting to doze off, Xu Xin carried Keke to the bedroom, then sat back on the sofa to check the leaderboard of the Snow Mountain Climbing activity.
He was surprised to find that besides him and Ji Chaoyang, the leaderboard now had a third name!
However, this time, it wasn’t someone from their District 188.
③ Shi Wanyun, District 1
Shi Wanyun... this name feels familiar.
He searched the previous full-region leaderboards and found Shi Wanyun’s name.
Her name was not in the Rainy Season leaderboard but did appear in the Treehouse Defense leaderboard, though not high ranking.
District 1, like District 188, had four people on the leaderboard, meaning four people had killed the mutated plant’s heart.
This Shi Wanyun ranked last in their District 1 on the Treehouse Defense leaderboard, a little over 50th across the entire region.
Unexpectedly, this time she secured the first in District 1, third in the entire region.
The world channel was buzzing with activity.
"Haha, I knew someone from District 1 would pass the activity today!"
"It’s the most mysterious Shi Wanyun boss! She once took first place in one of our district’s activities, yet she hasn’t joined the big boss organization in District 1!"
"Damn, a lone wolf? A lone wolf boss from District 1? And a woman? That’s incredibly strong!"
"District 1 now has someone on the leaderboard too; District 23, step up, weren’t you guys proud before?"
"Wait and see; soon we’ll have bosses complete the task!"
Among the [Explorers], several people were discussing.
Wang Lei: "Wen Guixin was stepped over by another woman. Who is she? I thought the third would definitely be Sister Gui Xin..."
Qin Yunlong: "One of District 1’s bosses, rumored to be a lone wolf, quite formidable indeed."
Qin Yunhu: "Lone wolves are terrifying."
Ji Chaoyang: "If it’s a lone wolf, perhaps there’s a chance to recruit. Unfortunately, we can’t message across districts; no way to communicate."
Wang Lei: "Recruit... But she doesn’t cooperate with her own district, narrow chance of recruiting."
Xu Xin: "That’s because their district doesn’t have good bargaining chips, in this world, survival alone is impossible."
For a survivor capable of living alone, without special abilities, Xu Xin wouldn’t believe it.
At this moment, Li Wenxi and Lou Fei’Er emerged from the kitchen.
"What’s up?" Li Wenxi sat next to Xu Xin.
"Third place appeared, someone from District 1."
"Huh?" Li Wenxi immediately pulled Xu Xin’s hand towards her side, looking at the ranking with wide eyes, "Shi Wanyun? A woman’s name, impressive."
"There are many big bosses in other districts too." Lou Fei’Er petted her snow wolf, then winked at Li Wenxi, "I’m leaving, not disturbing you two."
Li Wenxi blushed and stood up, "Alright, I’ll let you down."
"I will go down too." Xu Xin stood up, "Wenxi, come with me, I’ll show you something good."
"Something good?" Li Wenxi was a bit puzzled.
Time to sort out the treasure box monster from his wristband!
Really wonder what good things it can bring him.
