Xu Xin walked towards the palace.

Zeng Tao and Jin Yue followed behind him.

"Coco! Coco!" Zeng Tao kept shouting Coco to everyone around, and then complained, "Where has this little guy gone?"

Xu Xin is not worried about Coco's comfort. If he is in danger, Coco will not be in danger.

He walked towards the palace and observed the surroundings of the palace.

When he was underground, the palace was surrounded by dense flying insects. After rising to the ground, he was in such a hurry that he never took a good look at the surrounding environment.

Now it seems that the area around the palace is actually very empty. In addition to the huge courtyard of the Crystal Palace itself, there is also an open space of about two hundred meters around the palace.

Presumably, this palace looks like the area where the supreme ruler of the entire Crystal City lives. According to normal planning, this palace would not be placed together with other low crystal buildings.

However, this area is really very large.

Moreover, except for a part occupied by the previous lake, the other locations were fertile soil emitting blue light. Xu Xin even saw a few rays of purple light!

This place is really nice.

He walked around to the back of the palace, and behind it was an open space like an empty square.

"Can we plant something here?" Zeng Tao looked at the open space around the palace, his eyes lit up, "Hey, that top-notch tree house seed! That tree house seed is just right for planting in this area.

!」

really.

Xu Xin also thought of this.

The location of the palace is exactly in the center of this area. If the top-quality tree house seed can really grow into the towering tree he saw in Shi Wanyun's image before, then this should be the most suitable location.

Crystal City and the Giant Tree can also protect each other.

Although he still doesn't know the purpose of the towering tree grown from this top-quality tree house seed, there is absolutely no problem in planting it in Crystal City.

As for the problem that the dense canopy of towering giant trees will block the light, there is no need to consider it.

Crystal City's own light is bright enough, even underground it can be like daylight, let alone on the ground.

The interior of this Crystal City is really suitable as their base camp.

It would be great if the tree house they live in now could be transplanted.

Although Crystal City has strong defense and the ability to withstand extreme weather, it does not have the various functions of the tree house itself. It would be perfect if the two could be combined.

But their tree house should not be transplanted at present.

If the tree house could be transplanted, these explorers would not be scattered across District 188 like they are now, unable to truly help each other in a timely manner.

……wrong.

The tree house seeds for their survivors were actually prepared for them by people from that team, and this crystal city was also prepared by the same people.

Since the other self was planning for Xu Xin to gather everyone here, when preparing, didn't he consider how to gather his scattered companions?

Or, if they want to live in this crystal city, they must abandon the tree house?

...Other ordinary survivors may be able to, but he will never be able to abandon his tree house.

His tree house is his hard work for a long time. The various powerful abilities in the tree house, as well as his most satisfying [random increase] ability, are all impossible to have if he does not sleep in his tree house.

Moreover, although they have fallen out with that mysterious voice now, Xu Xin still gets what it has been emphasizing since the survivors came to this world: "Don't abandon your treehouse, the treehouse is your only support."

Somewhat concerned.

… Let’s talk about these things later.

Calculating time, those people should not have it yet

After passing through the period of high-speed metabolism, he... let's go take a look inside the palace first.

"This Crystal City is very safe. You might as well go and see the places you want to see." Xu Xin said to the two people around him.

"Are you going to the palace? Let's go together," Zeng Tao looked at the palace and said, "I also want to go to the palace to see it! Try to see if I can go back to the past like them now. I also want to see mine.

Home!」

Jin Yue on the side was a little hesitant, and finally shook her head: "I'll just... forget it. I won't go. I'll help you find cocoa."

"Ah? Don't you look at it?"

"No."

As if running away, Jin Yue kicked her feet and quickly moved away from the palace.

Looking at her like that, it seems that she doesn't want to see her family forget her appearance in the original world.

"Well... wouldn't it be nice to look at your old home?" Zeng Tao said in confusion.

"What I saw is basically just an image from the past." Xu Xin sighed and understood her mood, "Maybe she doesn't want to give up the extravagant hope in her heart."

The luxury of being able to return to the original world and live happily with family and friends.

"Isn't that just an escape?" Zeng Tao shook his head and said, "It's better to take one last look at the past and then cheer up and look forward."

Xu Xin glanced at her in surprise.

"What are you doing? Are you looking at *** like that?"

"Haha, I just didn't expect you to say such reasonable things."

"...Are you complimenting me? Why does it sound so wrong to me!"

"Of course I'm complimenting you. However," Xu Xin glanced at the direction Jin Yue was going, "you also have to consider what she has experienced in this world. Without us, this world would be like hell to her."

"Hmm...that's right."

As they spoke, the two of them entered the palace and walked to the second floor.

"Well! Let me go in and try!" Zeng Tao couldn't wait to rush in. Xu Xin couldn't catch her at all. If he hadn't let go early, he would have been almost taken in by her.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" He shook his head helplessly.

"It's not dangerous anyway, right?" Zeng Tao took a few steps forward, then turned back and said doubtfully, "I wonder..."

Before she finished speaking, she just stood there blankly.

His eyes stared blankly ahead, his eyes filled with nothingness, and then he slowly closed his eyes.

"Zeng Tao?" Xu Xin called her name, but she didn't respond.

His suspicion came true.

Sure enough, after the palace rose to the ground, the time machine began to work!

He did not enter, but stood at the door on the second floor, waiting quietly.

About three minutes later, Zeng Tao suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously grabbed forward, but found nothing.

She stared blankly at her hands, her mouth slowly pouted, her eyes turned red, and she looked like she was about to cry.

"...Have you seen our original world?" Xu Xin asked, "How long did you stay there?"

"...Three hours?" Zeng Tao raised her head and looked at him. She gritted her teeth. Although her eyes were red, she did not cry. "That world has really forgotten my existence, so I don't have to miss it!"

I really didn’t expect that the little guy who looked the stupidest could be so strong.

She sniffed, then immediately turned around and ran to the third floor: "I'll go up and take a look!"

I'm afraid I couldn't help but want to cry, and I didn't want Xu Xin to see it.

Xu Xin sighed.

There is no way, these are things they have to accept.

He thought for a moment and was ready, stepping into the second floor of the palace.

【Do you want to turn on the time machine and travel to a specific time? 】

At this time, a mechanical sound of prompts came to his ears.

Xu Xin's eyelids twitched.

Ah, he won't be directly

Get involved in time travel!

Although he should not be able to control this Crystal Palace-style time machine now, it seems that he can choose whether to travel or not!

Not bad.

Go back and have a look?

...Forget it, let’s not give it up yet.

He hasn't thought about what to do now. It would be bad if he went back to the past and said something to Yingying that he shouldn't have said, causing her to do something and causing the future to collapse.

Wait until he thinks carefully before using this function.

He walked towards the third floor.

The third floor is still the same.
To be continued...
