Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

They’ve finally been granted the ability to renovate interiors. It makes sense, as without interior renovation, they wouldn’t be able to divide the treehouse into functional areas.

Xu Xin’s interior renovation ability was obtained from the silver treasure chest in the jungle exploration activity, which not only allowed interior renovation but also the creation of external crossbows and armor. This was common among the ”Explorers.”

Now, other survivors could also remodel interiors, although the weapons and armor for external enhancements were still unavailable to them, requiring Xu Xin to manufacture and sell them.

Upon reaching the third floor, Xu Xin first made an art studio plaque and placed it in the study.

[A room featuring an art studio plaque detected. Would you like to designate this room as an art studio? Once designated, changes cannot be made for seven days, please consider carefully before selecting.]

Confirm.

[The room has been designated as an art studio. Would you like to allocate enhancement rates? Once allocated, changes cannot be made, please proceed cautiously.]

[Current total enhancement rate available for allocation: 210%]

Xu Xin did not allocate enhancement rates. He planned to designate all functional areas and then unify the allocation.

Placed a kitchen plaque in the kitchen and another dining room plaque in the dining room. Thus, his third-floor living area had four functional areas in total: bedroom, kitchen, dining room, and art studio.

He arrived at the planting room on the fourth floor and placed a planting room plaque, but strangely, no designation prompt appeared for the planting room this time.

Xu Xin glanced at the stairway entrance. The fourth floor goes directly to the third—does this mean it’s not considered a closed room?

He constructed a few more walls and a door to seal off this floor of the planting house, but still, there was no prompt.

What’s going on?

Xu Xin furrowed his brow.

Is it because this room is too large? The floor is nearly a hundred square meters, perhaps there is a limit to the area a wooden plaque can designate, which prevents him from assigning the entire fourth floor as a single functional zone.

He raised his wrist to look at his watch; in the [Explorer] group, everyone was discussing these functional zones.

Zhao Xiaochuan: ”What do you all think about allocating everything to the bedroom? That way, we can reduce part of our sleep time each day and get more things done!”

Li Wenxi: ”It seems there’s not that much to do, and we also have blue-grade oranges. I’ve got a lot of minerals over here, planning to majorly enhance the smelting room and the workshop.”

This was the first time Li Wenxi revealed to them she has many minerals.

Zhao Xiaochuan: ”So Wenxi’s got a mine at home!”

Wen Guixin: ”Isn’t that obvious? All those nitrate mines, they’re all provided by Wenxi.”

Qi Xuefei: ”I can create a specialized medical room plaque here to speed up and increase the success rate of my pharmaceutical research, so I’ll primarily focus on this.”

Wang Lei: ”I want to enhance the kitchen and dining room; the kitchen can improve the effect of the food, and more importantly, the food made can really fill you up! Who knows if we might face famine like now in the future.”

Xu Xin asked in the group: ”Have you ever encountered a situation where you couldn’t designate a functional zone?”

Qin Yunlong: ”Is it because you haven’t installed a door? My bedroom initially didn’t have a door, so it couldn’t be designated.”

Li Wenxi: ”I haven’t had this issue; is it because your place is too large?” They basically video call each other every day, so she knows Xu Xin’s tree house has double the area compared to theirs.

Ji Chaoyang: ”Probably your designated area is either too small or too large. From my trials, the area for a functional zone needs to be between 10 square meters and 80 square meters; areas outside this range can’t be recognized.”

So that’s really the case.

Although Xu Xin had already guessed it, he didn’t expect Ji Chaoyang to have calculated the area range.

Ji Chaoyang simultaneously sent a message in the regional channel: ”Everyone, the minimum area for a functional zone is 10 square meters. Survivors with low-lying, small tree houses must pay attention; your single-floor area is around 25 square meters, so make sure to divide wisely. If one functional zone is too large, the rest cannot be designated.”

”Thanks, expert!”
