My two-dimensional resident

Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, unsure of what to say. The fact that others could return to their previous world while he couldn't left him feeling resentful.

But when he thought about how in Animal Crossing, players can't change their islands, while the animal villagers can move away, Lin Tian could rationally understand what Kelvin said, yet he still felt a mix of emotions...

"Lin Tian..."

“I’m fine, Kikyo. This is great news! It means Ace can return to the world of One Piece, and you can return to the world of Inuyasha to visit your sister.”

Hearing Kikyo's worried expression, Lin Tian turned to look at her with a reassuring smile.

"My mission as a priestess is complete; there's nothing left for me to cherish in that world. As for my sister, I think she has her own life to live..."

Thinking of her younger sister, Kikyo couldn't sever their blood ties, but to her sister, she was already dead. Kikyo didn't want to disturb her life any longer.

With her calm, dark eyes and delicately painted cherry lips, Kikyo's expression was both resolute and gentle, yet Lin Tian still noticed a hint of melancholy within it.

"If you have the chance later, could you introduce me to your sister?"

"Hmm!" Kikyo smiled and understood that Lin Tian said that because he knew she still missed her younger sister.

What a gentle person!

Looking at Lin Tian beside her, Kikyo felt a warmth rise in her heart.

Now that the dodo's planes can return the residents to their original world, the next step is to get the radar working properly.

After making the appointment with Kikyo, Lin Tian turned his attention back to Xiao Ke.

"Xiao Ke, what do we need to do to build the office lobby?"

"Lin Tianli! Before building the office lobby, we need to settle the bill for this relocation package plan."

In response to Lin Tian's question, Xiao Ke took out a bill from his magical pocket and handed it to him.

Seeing the bill in front of him, Lin Tian knew that what was coming was bound to happen. Under Kikyo's somewhat surprised gaze, he took the bill and began to check the details of the charges.

"Transportation costs, labor costs, equipment costs, cell phone bills... all added up, totaling 89800 Bells!?? Wait!! K, why 89800? How come that's so much?"

Seeing that he needed to pay 89800 Bells, Lin Tian suspected that Xiao Ke might have miscalculated. He remembered that in the game, players paid 49800 Bells the first time, not 89800!

"Lin Tianli! This bill includes not only your own expenses but also the expenses of the bellflower fox! Because you are the adorable owner of Rabbit Island, the expenses incurred by the residents when they enter the island need to be paid by the owner!"

Hearing Lin Tian's question, Xiao Ke patiently explained to him with a smile.

"Lin Tian, ​​this..."

Upon learning that Lin Tian would have to pay for her arrival on the island and her becoming a resident, Kikyo felt a little guilty and wanted to cover her share of the expenses herself. But before she could speak, Lin Tian interrupted her.

"It's alright, Kikyo. What Klein is saying is the rule of this island. After all, I'm the island's owner, so it's normal for me to pay the entry fee for new residents. Haha!"

Looking at the happy-looking Xiao Ke in front of him, Lin Tian knew that he was just a spokesperson for the "Island Will," but he still couldn't help but curse him in his heart: a profiteer! A heartless real estate developer!

"Hey, Little Ke, I don't have that much money right now! Can I buy it on credit?"

"Huh..."

Upon hearing that Lin Tian had no money, Xiao Ke instantly stopped smiling, stared at Lin Tian with wide eyes, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and once again showed a happy face to Lin Tian.

"Lin Tianli! Don't worry about not having money! I knew this would happen... If you don't have enough Bells, you can use Miles to pay the bill!"

After watching Xiao Ke complete the Sichuan opera face-changing performance, Lin Tian couldn't help but complain that he must have just thought of using mileage instead of bells.

Upon hearing that other things could be used instead of bells, Kikyo's eyes lit up, and she asked Klein.

What is mileage?

"Platycodon grandiflorus! Nook Miles are... well, just like the name suggests. You earn Nook Miles by taking flights or completing tasks while exploring the island. In other words, the happier you are on the island, the more Nook Miles you get, which you can use to pay for relocation."

I'm calling this nook miles trading and acquisition method the Nook Miles Project! I'm sending this app to your phones now, please check your inbox! For detailed nook miles collection instructions, you can check out the Nook Miles app!

Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Most Exciting Moment Has Finally Arrived

"I'm calling this Nook Miles trading and acquisition method the Nook Miles Project! I'm sending this app to your phones now, please check your inbox! For specific Nook Miles collection methods, you can check out the Nook Miles app!"

Xiao Ke took out his phone and quickly operated it with his chubby little hands. Before long, Lin Tian and Jie Geng's phones beeped with notification sounds.

Both of them pulled out their phones, opened them, and saw a new app on their screens: "Raccoon Running on Earth." It was called "NokGrip+," an app that allowed users to earn nook miles.

In addition to issuing tasks every day, this app also records what the user does each day. When the number of the same tasks reaches a certain amount, the user will receive a corresponding milestone and a mileage reward.

For example, if Lin Tian catches seven insects, and then catches three more, he will complete the first stage of the 'Path to Insect Hunter' milestone and receive nook miles as a reward.

In other words, it's an achievement system.

"Lin Tianli! I just calculated that if we replace 89800 Bells with Miles, it would require 9000 Miles!"

"9000 miles! If you complete daily tasks and achieve a few milestones each day, you can get that many miles in three days. It's not too difficult, so it's acceptable!"

After hearing from Xiao Ke that he only needed to pay 9000 miles, Lin Tian thought for a moment and felt that the task was not too difficult. He would do the tasks diligently every day and unlock all the milestones that could be unlocked in the early stages. He was sure he could pay off the fee within three days.

"These nooks don't seem to be tradable. It'll be hard for you to collect them all by yourself. Let's pay with Bells. It'll be faster for the two of us to earn them together than for you to collect them all by yourself!"

Kikyo carefully read through the app's description of miles and found that they could not be traded. At that moment, she also heard Lin Tian say that she could collect 9000 miles in three days, and she felt a little guilty, since the 9000 miles also included her island visit fee.

Kikyo would never accept having a newly acquainted friend pay such a large sum of money for her.

"Don't worry, Kikyo! Don't be intimidated by the number 9000 miles; it's easy for us newcomers to the island to collect. We should be fine within three days!"

As for the Bells, we'll earn as much as we can in the early stages. There will be many projects that require Bells in the long run!

Moreover, our island's resources are limited, and earning Bells is much harder than earning Nook Miles in the early stages.

After considering both aspects, we'll use miles whenever possible in the initial stage!

Understanding what Kikyo was worried about, Lin Tian turned to look at her, revealing a confident smile, telling her not to worry!

"Hmm... I'll do missions with you!"

Seeing Lin Tian's resolute gaze, Kikyo didn't press the matter further. After all, Lin Tian knew more about the island than she did. Since he had the information, Kikyo decided to assist him in collecting the nook miles.

As an island resident, she wouldn't stand idly by. So she turned to look at Little K.

"So, Little K, after we pay the bills, what tasks do we need to complete before we can build the office lobby?"

"Tanuki! After Lin Tianli pays 9000 miles, he still needs to build a tanuki shop; build a bridge; complete the task of building three houses and having residents move into all three houses; and complete the seven daily tasks I have assigned."

"this!"

Although she didn't know how difficult these tasks would be, the fact that there were five tasks in total, including the 9000 Nook Miles to be paid, made Kikyo feel that the tasks were a bit too difficult.

"Am I considered a resident, Little K?"

"Lin Tianli, you are the island owner, not a resident!"

After hearing Xiao Ke's answer, Lin Tian rested his chin on his hand and fell into deep thought.

"Hmm... I remember that building the Tom Nook Shop only requires some materials and no Bells. That's easy to solve! Building the bridge does require a lot of Bells, but I should be able to earn them within a week. Daily quests are also easy, it's just a matter of time."

Problems that can be solved with money aren't really problems!

The most pressing issue right now is that you, Kikyo, are currently the only inhabitant on the island. Once the three houses are built, residents must move in, and that's a difficult condition to meet!

Right now, the only thing we can do is explain the situation to Ace and ask him to join us as our second resident. Only then can we complete the task of building the office building, and only then will he have a chance to return to the crew…”

Lin Tian only had a vague impression of these beginner missions. He couldn't remember exactly how many materials and bells were needed, only that a large amount of bells were required.

However, making money is only a matter of time; the real headache for Lin Tian is that the island must have three residents.

If no new residents arrive after completing this series of tasks!

Then the service hall couldn't be built, and without the service hall, Ace wouldn't have had a chance to leave the island.

In order to allow Ace to return to the world of One Piece and pursue his dream!

Lin Tian first decided to make Ace the second resident of the adorable Rabbit Island. As for the third resident... well, that's up to fate!

"Lin Tianli! Kikyo Tanuki! If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"

Seeing that the two had fallen silent, Xiao Ke greeted them and left!

Watching the three little ones leave, Kikyo pondered for a moment, then looked up at Lin Tian.

"I never imagined there would be so much to do on this island... This wasn't how you described it to me. I was even thinking about what I would do if I got tired of this kind of life... I never imagined there would be so much to do..."

Kikyo's words seemed to be a complaint that he had lied. But he could tell that she was also unhappy that he hadn't told her about building the island.

Tell him that as a member of the island, she should make her contribution...

"Haha! Actually, I'm right. On this island, you really can do nothing all day long. Whether you're daydreaming or sleeping, nobody cares... Actually, we don't need to do what Xiao Ke just said right away. Let's take it slow!"

The current situation is mainly caused by Ace's arrival.

His dream is to become the Pirate King, and he absolutely must leave the island. Unlike us... Although we've only just met him, and we could have ignored him, the thought of seeing him so dejected because he can't leave the island in the future... I can't just stand by and do nothing!"

Lin Tian felt a natural fondness for Kikyo beside him, and now he would tell her whatever was on his mind.

"Lin Tian, ​​you're too kind to others! They're easily fooled! I was one of them..."

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Some Rejoice, Some Sorrow

Lin Tian's words made Kikyo see a reflection of herself in him.

This reminded her of how much she had trusted Inuyasha in the past, only to be deceived by him! She wanted to tell Lin Tian about it.

But the thought that he already knew her story, and that he must already know about how Inuyasha had deceived her, made Kikyo stop speaking halfway through her sentence.

Although Lin Tian said Ace was a good person, Kikyo believed that no matter how good he was, he was still a pirate.

Although pirates have the word "sea" in their name, they are still thieves. Kikyo, who is naturally indifferent to thieves, is terrified that Lin Tian will be deceived by someone he trusts, just like she was!

"Thank you, Kikyo! Don't worry! With a top-tier priestess like you by my side, no one can deceive me! It's getting late, I'll go see where Ace is and have a good talk with him. You should go back and rest!"

"Well...see you tomorrow!"

See you tomorrow, Kikyo!

After saying goodbye to Kikyo, Lin Tian headed in the direction Ace had gone.

Looking at the fallen branches along the way, Lin Tian understood that this was all Ace's handiwork. He must have wanted to break the trees and get some wood to make a ship that could go out to sea, but he was disappointed to find that he couldn't even break a single tree.

"We can't waste this! We can use it when building all sorts of structures later!"

Lin Tian bent down and began picking up the branches one by one, putting them into his backpack. As he did so, Lin Tian searched for Ace's trail as he went.

Half an hour later, Lin Tian emerged from the woods and arrived at the west coast. A lonely figure on the beach caught his attention.
