My two-dimensional resident

Lin Tian took the two cards from Kikyo's hand. He looked closely and found that the back of the two cards were drawn with a bow and an arrow respectively. He realized that this was a tool that came with Kikyo's phone after she became a resident of the island. He was a little surprised that she could generate a crafting diagram using her crafting skills.

"I'm not entirely sure either. Last night, while I was fishing, I thought it would be great if I could give you my bow and arrow making method, and suddenly two cards appeared out of nowhere in my backpack..."

"Thank you so much, Kikyo!"

The addition of two new tool crafting blueprints brings Lin Tian one step closer to unlocking milestones and earning nook miles. Furthermore, today's daily tasks include a double reward mission for learning a new tool, which will grant 400 nook miles upon completion.

Lin Tian took out his phone, opened the tool manual, learned how to make a bow and arrow, and then opened the NokGi-ri game to claim the mission reward of 400 miles.

With 12600 miles still to go and the task ahead daunting, Lin Tian put away his phone, bid farewell to Kikyo, and headed towards Ace's residence.

Half an hour later, when Lin Tian arrived at Ace's tent, he was so shocked by what he saw that he didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Ace was lying flat on the beach in front of the tent, fast asleep with his head tilted back, and next to one of his hands was a half-empty bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).

"How rare! Ace, a pirate, actually passed out after drinking half a bottle of baijiu. No way, I have to record this. If Ace really becomes the Pirate King someday, I'll use this to blackmail him! Hehe!"

As he spoke, Lin Tian quickly took out his phone, turned on the camera function, and began frantically taking pictures of Ace, who was fast asleep on the beach.

Click click click!

The milestone "Preserve Memories in Photos!" has been unlocked and you'll receive 300 Nook Miles!

A few minutes later, looking at the photos of Ace on his phone, Lin Tian put away his phone with satisfaction and left.

Since he wouldn't get sick on this island anyway, and Ace wasn't awake, Lin Tian didn't want to pull him out of his dream.

"Let me see what double reward missions are left for today... Wow! I won! There's a mission with a five-times reward, 'Catch the Fish! Fishing Promotion Event,' which gives 5 x 150 Nook Miles upon completion... 'Catch the Koi in One Cast' is also good, it gives 2 x 300 Nook Miles upon completion..."

Looking at the tasks in NokGear+ on his phone, Lin Tian roughly calculated that, adding the 400 miles he had just earned, he could earn a total of 2350 miles after completing the remaining four double reward tasks.

The milestone "'Welcome to the Adorable Bunny' has been unlocked! Let's see how many miles you can give me... 500! Not bad!"

After exiting the daily missions in NokGi-Lyrics+, Lin Tian saw a new milestone in the app: "Welcome to the Cute Bunny". After clicking on it, he received a notification that he had earned 500 NokGi-Lyrics.

"Welcome to the adorable Rabbit Island!": Thank you for joining the Nok Corporation's Five-Person Island Migration Project! I'll be giving you a special set of frequent flyer miles for this migration! —Date: 2002/2/26

Milestone "Live with Your Phone!" unlocked, earning 300 Nook Miles!

The milestone "Make the most of your phone!" has been unlocked and earned you 1000 miles!

"Hmm, two more milestones have been unlocked. As expected, nook miles are the easiest to obtain in the early stages of life on the island."

Since Ace was still drunk, Lin Tian decided to complete the koi fishing and fishing promotion tasks first. These two tasks could be done simultaneously. To save time, Lin Tian prioritized completing this task.

Fishing can be done anywhere—on the coast, by rivers, or in ponds. But this time, catching koi isn't something you can do just anywhere. Luckily, Lin Tian had played this game before and knew that koi only live in ponds, so he decided to go find a pond first.

"The nearest pond, according to the map, is north of the river, but I can't cross the river right now, so I have to give up on that pond. The only pond I can go to now... is the one south of my residence."

You're guaranteed to catch koi there, and the scorpion around the tent is about to respawn... 8000 Bells... Hehe!

After deciding where to go koi fishing, he headed towards his residence.

......

Tadpole +1

Ranchu goldfish+!

......

Freshwater lobster +1

The milestone "Goal is to become a fishing master!" has been unlocked and earned 300 Nook Miles!

The milestone "Can I become a legendary angler?!" has been unlocked at Butterfly Nook Miles 300!

Earn 5 x 150 Nook Miles by completing the "Fishing Promotion Event"!

"I've used up my entire makeshift fishing rod, and I've completed all the milestones and fishing promotion tasks, so why can't I catch any koi???"

Chapter Thirty-Five: There's a Kind of Care Called Mutual Taunting

After casually putting the freshwater crayfish he had caught into his backpack, Lin Tian took out a brand new, simple fishing rod and said speechlessly.

He thought the koi, worth 4000 bells, would be easy to catch, but in the past half hour, not only did he ruin his fishing rod, but he didn't even see a koi.

Based on his previous gaming experience, koi are usually very easy to catch. But he's already caught two Ranchu goldfish worth 4500 Bells each, and not a single koi has appeared.

"Is this pond poisonous? Or am I just incredibly unlucky?... Oh well, I'll try fishing ten more times. If I still can't catch a koi, I'll go grind other missions and milestones!"

Seeing the large fish shadow reappear in the pond, Lin Tian took a deep breath, filled himself with passion again, and cast his line into the pond, determined to catch a koi with this new fishing rod.

Catfish +1

"Damn! I finally saw a big fish shadow, and I caught a catfish... Catfish it is, it's worth 800 Bells."

In Animal Crossing, players will see different shapes of fish depending on their size. When small "fish" like tadpoles and lobsters appear in the pond, players standing on land will see a small fish shadow in the pond.

Larger fish like catfish and koi will appear as a large fish shadow to the player. After reluctantly putting the catfish into his inventory, Lin Tian turned his gaze back to the pond, waiting for the fish shadow to reappear.

Three minutes later, a large fish shadow reappeared in the pond, which stirred Lin Tian's disappointed emotions again.

"It's impossible for two catfish to appear in a row. Gods and Buddhas of heaven, please bless me so that I can catch a koi this time!"

After saying that, Lin Tian swung his fishing hook again!

"Hey~ Lin Tian! Are you fishing? Let me tell you, when I was on the boat, I won the fishing competition for 52 consecutive years! When it comes to fishing, I'm number one and nobody dares to say they're number two! Hahaha!"

Just as Lin Tian felt the fish shadows in the pond about to bite the bait, a pair of heavy hands patted his shoulders.

Because Lin Tian has a constitution that makes him easily influenced by external factors when he is fully focused on doing something, he was startled the moment those large hands touched him and jumped up reflexively.

With a swift movement of both hands, the bait, which was about to capture the fish's shadow, was pulled out of the water, and the fish's shadow in the pond vanished instantly upon seeing this.

"Damn it! My ten consecutive catches!"

Lin Tian cried out in disappointment, turning to look at the owner of the hand with a resentful gaze. At this moment, Ace's head was already resting on Lin Tian's shoulder, munching on an apple in his other hand. Seeing that Lin Tian hadn't caught the fish, he exclaimed.

"What a pity! It got away! Lin Tian, ​​your fishing skills aren't good enough! Why don't I try fishing for it!"

Just as he was about to complain that Ace had disturbed his fishing, Lin Tian's forehead was covered with dense black lines after hearing those words.

If he hadn't interfered, this fish would definitely have been caught, maybe even a koi. Now, because of his sudden interruption, the fish got away, and he even said that Lin Tian's fishing skills weren't as good as his.

This is intolerable! Lin Tian could no longer hold back and threw a punch at Ace's head.

"Huh! Didn't we say we couldn't fight? Why are you hitting me???"

Ace was stunned by Lin Tian's punch. Hadn't he just been told yesterday that he couldn't fight? Why was Lin Tian able to hit him?

Ace felt another bump on his head and was completely baffled.

"Because I didn't mean to hit you, I was just saying hello!"

The milestone "Say hello is the foundation of everything!" has been unlocked and earned 300 Nook Miles!

"Greeting is the foundation of everything!" Greeting all residents for one day unlocks this milestone. Lin Tian's island only has Kikyo and Ace as residents; after chatting with Ace, this achievement was automatically unlocked.

Hearing the notification sound on his phone, Lin Tian happily retrieved the bait. Seeing that no more fish would be spawning in the pond for a while, he put the fishing rod back into his backpack.

"Damn it! Didn't you say you'd do a mission with me today? Why didn't you come looking for me?"

Ace rubbed the bump on his head and said with dissatisfaction.

"I came looking for you, but you were sleeping so soundly that I didn't want to wake you. Look! I even took a picture of you!"

After saying that, Lin Tian took out his phone, retrieved the photos he had just taken of Ace while he was drunk, and showed them to him.

"Ugh~ How was I supposed to know that bottle of wine you gave me would be so potent? I passed out after only half a bottle. On my ship, apart from Hughes, who can hold his liquor better than me, none of the other crew members can! By the way, where did you get that wine? Is there any more...?"

Recalling how he had opened the bottle Lin Tian had given him yesterday because he missed his friends so much, Ace looked at Lin Tian with a mixture of annoyance and curiosity.

"Um...you're still young, you can't handle that kind of alcohol. If you still want to drink, I'll get you some beer! But that's impossible now! We still need to complete today's task. Get the office hall set up as soon as possible! First, you need to..."

Now that Ace is here, let's talk to him about the tasks we need to do today.

Although the tasks in Nokkuri must be completed by oneself, there is no requirement that one cannot have help.

Lin Tian's plan is to have Ace help him find resource points that can unlock milestones, and then he can collect these resources to unlock milestones and earn nook miles.

“Let me think… there seems to be a milestone for completing a resident's request! Ace, now make me a simple request!”

While discussing the tasks with Ace, Lin Tian suddenly thought of a very simple milestone and asked Ace for his help.

"Um... a request? The simpler the better? What kind of request? I don't quite understand! By the way, when I used this magical thing to contact you today, I received several voice messages that indicated I had earned a lot of miles."

"Lin Tian, ​​how can I transfer my miles to you?"

Ace touched his hair and asked, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Seeing Ace pull out his Nokia phone and hold it in front of him, Lin Tian looked up into his eyes and said with a somewhat speechless expression, "Ace! Didn't I tell you yesterday that nook miles are non-transferable? Besides, you need nook miles to buy nook miles travel passes to go back."

"Haha! I forgot, I've never encountered such a magical treasure before. You should understand!"

Seeing Lin Tian's helpless expression, Ace put his hands on his hips and burst into laughter. He showed absolutely no remorse.

"Alright, let's talk about this resident-asked task first. It's actually quite simple, like asking me for an apple or something..."

Ace's smile reminded Lin Tian of his younger brother, Luffy. Shaking his head to clear the image of Luffy from his mind, Lin Tian began to explain the mission to Ace.

Chapter Thirty-Six: How to Forge an Iron-Headed Kid? Of course, by ignoring everyone else's advice!

"Um, um... Lin Tian, ​​could I have an apple? I'm a little hungry..." After saying that, Ace looked confident and seemed to be implying to Lin Tian that he was incredibly smart.

"Give!"

Ignoring Ace's expression, Lin Tian took an apple out of his backpack with his right hand and pushed it into Ace's arms.

The milestone "Friendliness is important, Tom Nook!" has been unlocked, earning 300 Nook Miles!

'Thank you so much, Tanuki, for always patiently listening to the islanders' requests! Kindness always brings good fortune! Here are some Nook Miles for you, please accept! PS: You can complete one request from a resident per day.

With 300 miles in hand, Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction. Including the miles earned from previously unlocked milestones and completed daily tasks, he had already gained 4750 miles that morning, just 8250 miles away from paying off the loan.

"It seems my previous estimate of 13000 miles within a week was a bit too conservative. I should be able to pay off the entire loan in two to three days! Great news!"

Lin Tian's previous estimate of a week was based on his experience playing Animal Crossing before. However, at that time he was a casual player, only playing for three or four hours a day, and he didn't specifically focus on getting nooks.

But things are different now! After arriving at the adorable Rabbit Island, in order to get Ace back to the East Blue and reunite with his companions as soon as possible, he had to work hard. In addition, with his game experience, the speed at which he gained Nook Miles increased by at least double.

Double happiness!
