Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 318: Chapter 264 Enhanced Random Amplification Affinity Amplification_2

So, the auditory enhancement would be more practical. With this enhancement, at least everything within a range of dozens to even hundreds of meters around him could be fully under his control.

[Auditory enhancement selected, effect will last for one day and end concurrently with today’s random enhancement.]

In an instant, various sounds flooded into his ears.

He was like a radar, with every rustle and shadow around forming a clear picture in his mind, giving him a comprehensive view of his surroundings.

Xu Xin’s lips curved up slightly.

This ability really gives a strong sense of security, though it’s a bit noisy, but now it’s late autumn, the temperature is low, there aren’t many insect or bird noises, the experience is much better than last time.

He could hear the low purring sound of Mimi in the living room, the gusting wind outside, and... Lou Fei’Er’s voice.

”You haven’t gone to trouble area 188 again, have you?”

Oh? Is she contacting those few people in her small group?

After returning last night, Xu Xin hadn’t taken back her watch from the treehouse in area 187, so she could still communicate with the people in area 187.

”That’s good. I’ve also told you, don’t provoke the people from area 188, they have some very powerful figures, you all are no match for them.”

”Area 186? Do whatever you want there.”

”Just stay in the treehouse for now; the weather is so cold, not a good time to go out. If you want, once I find you, I can bring you over to my place.”

”Of course, using the parasitic treehouse method, you directly parasitize over, and we can keep warm together.”

”What, you want me to parasitize over to your place?”

”Alright, let’s talk about it then, I have other things today, chat later.”

”By the way, any of you been contacted privately about anything related to me in the last few days?”

”It’s nothing, good if no one did.”

Xu Xin nodded gently.

She’s telling her crew not to harm people from area 188 and even wants to lure them over, and she’s probing if Ma Hongwei has contacted Gu Honghao.

Seems like there’s no problem.

Last night Xu Xin had told her to first contact Ma Hongwei to confirm today’s matters, though it’s unsure if she’s done so.

However, his auditory enhancement can actually pick up on Lou Fei’Er’s movements.

Know that the parasitic treehouse of Lou Fei’Er is nearly a hundred meters away from him, with walls and windows of the treehouse in between, yet it’s so clear.

This ability is truly strong.

Suddenly, a somewhat disturbing sound came from the direction of the coordinates, causing Xu Xin to frown.

This is... the sound of a teleportation portal forming?

The irritation level of this sound can match the nails on a chalkboard. No wonder Lou Fei’Er complained for so long when he came back last night.

It’s indeed unpleasant.

However, there was no such sound when the teleportation portal entrance formed. The sound might be to alert people near the exit that someone is coming.

Quite user-friendly.

Still, who would come at this time...

”Ah!” A shriek rang out.

It’s Li Wenxi’s voice.

Xu Xin looked out from the window and saw Li Wenxi sitting on the ground, rubbing her head with one hand and her backside with the other, likely having fainted and plopped down again.

What’s she doing here so early in the morning?

Xu Xin immediately climbed down from the treehouse, and simultaneously, Lou Fei’Er swung down from her parasitic treehouse as well.

Upon seeing Xu Xin come down too, she raised an eyebrow, slowed her pace, and muttered, ”So proactive, yesterday you said to watch the teleportation portal exit, seems like there’s nothing for me to do now.”

Xu Xin: ”...”

”Why are you here so early?” Xu Xin approached.

Li Wenxi was now standing up on her own but was slightly unsteady, Xu Xin quickly supported her.

”Um... to wake you up?” Li Wenxi shook her head, seemingly still a bit dizzy, but much better than yesterday when she couldn’t even stand.

She looked up at Xu Xin, smiled, and said, ”Hey, actually I wanted to get used to teleporting like you said, isn’t it that after teleporting several times, you won’t...”

Li Wenxi’s voice grew softer and her eyes widened as she looked at Xu Xin’s face.

”What is it?” Xu Xin touched his face, puzzled as she seemed to look at him strangely.

”... Why do you seem so different today?” Li Wenxi’s eyes widened, staring at his face closely, ”It just feels... feels...”

Ah...

Seeing her reaction, Xu Xin understood. He knew what it was.

His [Empathy Boost] was working.

”Hey, why does it feel like you’ve suddenly become much more handsome today?” Lou Fei’Er had already approached, and the closer she got, she felt something was off, a mysterious attraction to Xu Xin, wanting to be near him.

Of course, not in a romantic sense, but more like... a comfortable feeling being around him.

”Right!” Li Wenxi nodded eagerly at Lou Fei’Er’s words, ”I feel the same! Your aura is so different from yesterday!”

She couldn’t resist touching Xu Xin’s face, then realized it was inappropriate and quickly withdrew her hand.

”Really? Was my aura bad yesterday?” Xu Xin asked with a smile.

”Oh, not at all, everything was fine, it’s just today, you make people... make people want to...” Li Wenxi’s cheeks reddened, then she asked with hands on her hips, ”So what’s going on! How did you suddenly change so much!”

Then she cautiously stepped back a little: ”You’re not possessed by some spirit, are you?”

Seems like this [Empathy Boost] effect is too strong, people who know him well can noticeably sense his change, which instead makes them wary.

That’s probably the only downside of this ability.

”Your imagination is really wild...” Xu Xin shook his head helplessly.

”Haha, just kidding, so what’s actually going on?” Li Wenxi was still very curious.

Xu Xin didn’t answer, instead he asked, ”Have you had breakfast?”

”No, I came straight to find you.” Li Wenxi naturally replied. Then she felt something was off.

Now Xu Xin’s words seemed to carry some magic power, making her respond involuntarily.

”I haven’t eaten either!” Lou Fei’Er raised her hand, ”Let’s eat together!”

”Sure, sure, let’s eat together then.” Li Wenxi nodded.

After last night’s interaction, the distance between these two women seemed to have shortened a bit more.

”You’re here to have a meal at my place.” Xu Xin shook his head, ”Let’s go, all up to my place, just in time to discuss today’s plans, about how to capture Ma Hongyu.”
