My two-dimensional resident

After finally understanding the reason why he came to the Animal Crossing world, Lin Tian marveled at how wonderful the world was, that his mysterious uncle had actually given him a "key" to the game.

"Lin Tian, ​​now... let me take a picture of you first!"

Seeing that Lin Tian's expression had returned to normal, Xiao Dou couldn't wait to take out her camera.

Seeing Tanuki Xiaodou's camera, Lin Tian recalled the scene in the game. When Xiaodou mentioned taking a photo, the player would enter the control panel to select the character's gender and change the character's appearance.

Now that he has actually traveled into the game, there is no need to change his gender and appearance, but the photo-taking process still needs to be followed, so Xiaodou took out the camera.

Take a photo of Lin Tian, ​​the new island owner, as his ID photo and enter it into their system.

clap clap...

After the photos were taken, the two raccoon dogs clapped happily, and Xiaodou said to Lin Tian, ​​"Great job, you're so handsome!" Then they started registering Lin Tian's information.

A few minutes later, when all the formalities were completed and Xiaodou and Xiaoli were preparing to take Lin Tian to his island, Lin Tian spoke up.

"Um, can I go back to my own world?"

This answer is very important to Lin Tian. His sudden plane crash must have devastated his family. But he is still alive and longs to return to his family and be with them.

"..."

The two raccoons seemed not to understand Lin Tian's words, their eyes wide open, staring at Lin Tian with a blank and adorable expression.

Realizing that Xiaodou and Xiaoli couldn't understand such simple words, Lin Tian had a bad feeling. He had already guessed that he might not be able to go back, but he was still unwilling to accept it.

"So, can I leave the island and go back to my old home?"

"Lin Tian, ​​you can buy more miles to visit other islands, bring back some local specialties, or invite others to live on your island."

"But going back to your previous home... is impossible due to some unforeseen circumstances."

Upon hearing Lin Tian's question, Xiaodou and Xiaoli's fluffy ears twitched, and they explained with smiles.

To other islands...

Isn't that just like the gameplay in the game? Go to other islands to collect plants that your own island doesn't have, catch insects, mine, fish, and so on.

Force majeure...

At this moment, Lin Tian understood that he could never go back.

In order to obtain more information about this world, Lin Tian pondered for a moment, his eyes fixed on the two raccoon dogs.

"So, if I travel to other islands, will I meet people like me? In other words, people from the same world as me?"

"I'm sorry, Lin Tian, ​​due to unforeseen circumstances, we are completely unaware of the situation on the other islands, so we cannot answer your question."

"Perhaps our president, Mr. Ke, knows about these issues. You can ask him after we take you to the island."

"..."

Faced with a raccoon cat who knew nothing but how to "scam" him out of money in the future, Lin Tian was speechless.

So he decided to stop asking questions and wait until he got to the island to meet the other residents and try to get some information from them.

For example, there's his island steward, zero-interest lender, "great philanthropist," and a raccoon dog more mature than Little Bean and Little Grain—Lord K.

"Okay, let's go!... We need to take the Dodo bird's plane to the adorable Rabbit Island, right? But I can't see any Dodo birds here?"

Lin Tian looked around and increasingly felt that this place resembled the waiting hall of the Dodo bird, so he said to Xiaodou and Xiaoli with a puzzled expression.

According to the game's flow, after the two tanuki greet the player and complete a series of registrations, they board the dodo bird's plane and head to the island.

But now...

After hearing Lin Tian's question, the two raccoon dogs, Xiao Dou and Xiao Li, looked at each other, and then Xiao Dou spoke to Lin Tian first to explain.

"Lin Tian, ​​this is now the adorable Rabbit Island, but we're currently in the airport waiting area by the coast. You were brought here by Xiao Luo and Xiao Mo when you were still unconscious..."

"Xiao Luo and Xiao Mo are the Dodo birds. They will be your personal receptionist and personal pilot from now on. They are currently maintaining the aircraft, which is why you haven't seen them."

Xiaodou and Xiaoli, once again in perfect unison, explained Lin Tian's doubts, one sentence at a time. Their coordination was so perfect, like two separate raccoon dogs.

"I see. Then let's go see your club president first! I'll visit Xiao Luo and Xiao Mo when I have time."

The matter of time travel is inherently complicated and difficult to explain.

Therefore, Lin Tian did not want to delve into these issues any further and decided to go to the island first to meet his future chief steward.

Since we're already here, let's make the best of it!

Chapter Three, Nock? Was it made by an elementary school student?

Led by Xiaodou and Xiaoli, after passing through a grove of trees, Lin Tian saw a large raccoon standing on the hard, yellow earthen square, smiling and waiting for his arrival.

Behind the raccoon was an agate-green tent, which was very large, at least twice the size of the one in the game, with a logo of a torn leaf on top of the tall tent.

There was an old-fashioned radio and two piles of chopped wood directly in front of the tent. To the right of the tent stood a three-meter-high wooden pole, and as Lin Tian looked up, a flag with leaves printed on it came into view.

Lin Tian withdrew his gaze and looked to the left of the tent. First, there was a dark brown log lying horizontally, and not far to the left of the log was a wooden bulletin board used to post posters for residents to browse.

In front of the bulletin board were four cardboard boxes printed with green leaves. What was inside the boxes remained a mystery to Lin Tian, ​​who had played the game.

About five meters directly in front of the bulletin board, there is a tool table. The tool table is made of a tree stump and contains a saw, a hammer, several blueprints, a paint bucket, a pencil, a set square, and so on.

This workbench may look simple, but Lin Tian doesn't dare to underestimate it at all, because in the game, as long as you have enough raw materials and the corresponding blueprints, you can use this workbench to make all kinds of tools and items.

Lin Tian withdrew his gaze, a smile appearing on his face. Everything here perfectly recreated the scene from the game, which made him very satisfied.

"President! President! This is Lin Tian, ​​our future island owner!"

When Xiaodou and Xiaoli saw Lord Ke waiting for them, they happily ran to his side and introduced Lin Tian behind him.

"Hello! Hello! You must be Lin Tianli, our island owner! Welcome to the adorable rabbit island, Tanuki! I'm the president of Nki, the company that manages this island. My name is Tanuki!"

Wearing a green employee uniform, Lord Ke approached Lin Tian enthusiastically, wagging his fluffy tail and happily introducing himself.

"This island was originally uninhabited, and our company sold it as a relocation package for uninhabited islands. But now, because of your arrival, it is no longer an uninhabited island."

...However, this is a package deal for an uninhabited island. For your sake, and to ensure the happiness and safety of future residents, our staff will also be stationed on the island to provide support services!

...But now! Lin Tian, ​​you need to find your own place to sleep!

Although I'm also in the real estate business and can help island owners build grand and cozy houses on deserted islands... Link, you've gone to great lengths to become an island owner, so to ensure you fully experience life on a deserted island, we've prepared a tent-wearing raccoon this time!"

'This isn't just similar to what's said in the game, it's exactly the same...'

Hearing this, Lin Tian had already guessed that the three tanuki—Raccoon, Bean, and Grain—were controlled by some kind of will, and were not completely free tanuki-people.

Another theory is that they are puppets on the island, communicating with the people who come to the island according to the behavioral patterns and thoughts injected into their bodies by the "system".

Is this really the case?

Lin Tian was not entirely confident in reaching this conclusion.

"please..."

"Excuse me, I should still have two residents, why haven't I seen them?"

Just as Lord Ke was continuing his explanation, Lin Tian interrupted him, raising a question about the huge differences between reality and the game.

In the game, new players who arrive on the island will be accompanied by two adorable animal companions.

But not Lin Tian. Xiao Dou and Xiao Li only picked him up from the waiting hall; no other residents came...

Upon hearing Lin Tian's question, Lord Ke slowly opened his slightly narrowed eyes, his adorable white eyes with black pupils staring at Lin Tian as he earnestly explained the reason behind it.

"That's right, Lord Link. No one has come here for a very, very long time. A long time ago, two residents did come... but because the lord didn't come, they left after a few days."

Later, due to factors we can't understand, the plane couldn't take off, and no other planes landed there. This resulted in the islands losing contact with the surrounding islands, and the adorable Rabbit Island became an isolated island...

Only after receiving information about your impending arrival today was Xiao Luo able to successfully get the plane off and bring you to this island...

After listening to Lord Ke's explanation, Lin Tian understood some of the issues involved.

This isn't 100% of the game world; it might have become like this due to some uncontrollable factor mentioned by the three tanuki.

It took Lin Tian and the two raccoons nearly five minutes to walk from the airport to the camp. This made Lin Tian realize that this island was larger than the island in the game. As for how many times larger it was, or its exact area, he hadn't yet surveyed the entire island and couldn't be sure.

"Since I'm already here, there's no point in worrying about this. Whether I become a toy of some unspeakable big shot, or a pawn on a devil's game board, it doesn't matter anymore."

Live life well, treat them as gifts from your golden finger, and everything becomes wonderful.

After all, conspiracies, tricks, and fighting don't exist in Animal Crossing.

The optimistic Lin Tian stopped worrying about those mysterious questions and decided to live happily on his own island from today onwards.

"Oh, I see. It's a good thing you guys are here. Otherwise, I'd be living here all alone. That would be so lonely and boring..."

Lin Tian nodded, then smiled as he looked at the three adorable raccoons—no, their future companions.

"Hehe! Lin Tianli! This is a tent. You can choose to pitch it wherever you like! To pitch a tent, you need some open space..."

After saying that, Lord Ke took out a yellow package bound with peacock green from behind his back and handed it to Lin Tian.

This tent is manufactured by Nock and is made with top-of-the-line waterproof materials. Its excellent windproofing, warmth, and breathability are industry-leading.

Lin Tian took the tent from Lord Ke, held it in his arms, and weighed it in his hands. He estimated that the tent weighed about six kilograms, which was quite heavy.

After Lin Tian packed up the tent, Tanuki-sama once again fumbled in his "Doraemon"-style pocket, took out a map, and handed it to Lin Tian.

At the same time, Lin Tian's first mission after arriving on the island was also announced!

"Lin Tianli, here's a map of this island, and I'm handing it over to you! After you've set up your tent, please follow the markings on the map back here! Well then, have a safe journey!"

Chapter Four: When you go out, you should look down at your feet; perhaps a neighbor is lying on your doorstep.

"The mission has begun!"

When Lin Tian heard that Xiao Ke asked him to set up a tent, his eyes lit up. Although in Animal Crossing, there are no hard tasks for players, all tasks are based on your preferences. You can complete them if you want to, or ignore them if you don't want to.

But Lin Tian, ​​who had just arrived, couldn't wait to complete his first mission in this world.

Furthermore, setting up a tent is a must, because without a tent, Lin Tian would have to sleep under the open sky at night.

How could Lin Tian, ​​who has a tent bag, be so stupid?!

After saying goodbye to Xiao Ke and the other two tanuki, he began to think about where he should build his home.

That's right!

It's a place of residence!
