My two-dimensional resident

The movements were gentle, as if they were not wiping Erza's tears, but rather brushing away the dust from the surface of a fragile treasure.

"Brother Lin Tian, ​​can I trust you for the rest of my life?"

Seeing Lin Tian's actions as if they were precious treasures, and feeling the warmth through the tissue, Erza stopped sobbing. Her single eye, shining with a resolute light, stared straight at Lin Tian.

"How could one lifetime be enough? If I had the chance in the next life, I would rather you be my younger sister, and I would protect you from the first second you were born."

I witnessed you open your eyes, I witnessed you babbling, I witnessed you taking your first steps. Little Erza, it is my greatest honor to have you as my little sister! Little Erza.

Erza's serious expression made Lin Tian's heart tighten.

He knew that Erza had been abandoned by her mother since birth and had lived a lonely life since childhood. She had finally gained a group of trusted companions some time ago.

But her happiness was short-lived. Her best friend and first love, Jellal, betrayed her heartlessly.

Thinking of how desperate and painful Erza must have been at that time, Lin Tian's heart was no longer calm. Looking at the girl in front of him, he seemed to be able to feel her pain.

He knelt down in front of Erza, hugged her tightly, and gently patted her back, acknowledging this sister who was not related to him by blood, the future Fairy Queen Erza Scarlett in the Fairy Tail world.

"elder brother..."

Feeling Lin Tian's broad and warm embrace and hearing his promise, Erza's inner pain vanished in an instant, and the gloom that had been hanging over her heart was blown away by an inexplicable emotion.

Her delicate, frail arms burst forth with tremendous strength, tightly embracing Lin Tian's waist, burying her head in his gentle chest, listening to Lin Tian's sincere heartbeat.

"Alright, Erza. Go change your clothes. Klee and the others have already prepared lunch..."

Seeing Xiao Ke and the others come out of the inner room carrying some food, Lin Tian could still sense that Erza was a little reluctant, but he still let go of her arm and let her go change her clothes.

"Um..."

Seeing Lin Tian release her arms, Erza felt a little reluctant and wanted to stay in Lin Tian's arms for a long time, but she also noticed the three tanuki.

Erza had already met Klein and his friends when she accompanied Kikyo on a mission. At first, the tanuki's appearance scared Erza a little, but she could sense that Klein and his friends meant her no harm, so she accepted the three little ones.

"Erza, sister, let's go change your clothes."

"Okay, Kikyo-neechan!"

Having witnessed Lin Tian recognizing Erza as his sister, Kikyo was also moved. Fearing that it would be inconvenient for Erza to change clothes alone, she offered to accompany her.

However, just as she led Erza into the inner room, Lin Tian grabbed her hand, leaned close to her ear, and whispered a few words, instantly turning the usually composed Kikyo's face as red as bubble tea.

She gave Lin Tian a disapproving look, indicating that she understood. Then, swaying her long, dark hair, she led Erza into the inner room.

Seeing Kikyo's change in expression, Ace curiously put his arm around Lin Tian's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "What did you say to Kikyo that made her so angry?"

"Pants!"

"Ok?"

"I'll have her make Erza a pair of panties. Come on, let's sell what we got this morning to Little Bean!"

Lin Tian rolled his eyes at Ace, pushed the arm off his shoulder, ignored Ace, and walked out of the tent. He watched as Little K took a table from his magical pouch and began setting out various delicacies.

Lin Tian slowly walked to Xiao Dou, who was setting out the tableware for everyone.

"Xiaodou, we caught some fish and some insects. We'd like to sell them to you!"

"Oh! Lin Tianli, Aisi Li, can you show me what good stuff you have?"

Seeing Lin Tian and Ace approach, Xiaodou handed the cutlery in her hand to Xiaoli, revealing a shrewd businessman's smile, and said to the two of them.

"Here, that's all..."

Looking at Xiaodou's expression, Lin Tian recalled the time he spent buying and selling turnips and speculating in stocks. Thinking about how Xiaodou and Xiaoli had swindled countless amounts of Bells from him, Lin Tian subconsciously suspected that Xiaodou might try to cheat him again.

Chinese cabbage, as the name suggests, is just a type of cabbage. However, in Animal Crossing, the price of Chinese cabbage changes daily, allowing players to buy and sell it to earn money, much like playing the stock market...

Lost in thought, Lin Tian shook his head to clear his mind of the memories. He took out all the fish he had caught that morning from his spatial backpack, including the goldfish, freshwater crayfish, and carp. Of course, he didn't forget the scorpion either.

While Xiaodou was inspecting the fish, Lin Tian had Ace take out some insects from his backpack and place them in front of Xiaodou.

In no time, Xiaodou finished counting all the items, then put the fish and insects into his backpack space, and took out a bag of bells to hand to Lin Tian.

"Lin Tianli, this totals 38200 Bells. Please keep it safe!"

"Ok!"

Lin Tian took the Bell bag from Xiaodou and put it into his backpack. Instantly, his Bell count increased to 42300. Adding the 10,000 Bells he had previously deposited into the Nook Miles Machine, Lin Tian and his friends now had more than 50,000 Bells.

However, these Bells didn't make Lin Tian too happy, because he remembered that building the red brick house would cost nearly 100,000 Bells. And according to the request made by Little K earlier, in addition to building a house for himself, he also needed to build houses for three other residents.

Besides houses, bridges also need to be built... so Lin Tian calculated that he would need at least 50 Bells.

Chapter 41 You reap what you sow. So I planted a reader.

"It's a long and arduous journey, but with Kikyo and Ace's help... and Erza too! I believe earning 50 yen within a week shouldn't be too difficult."

Just as Lin Tian was planning his next money-making scheme, Kikyo led Erza, who was wearing new clothes, out of the tent, and the two of them came to them one after the other.

"Wow, little Erza! After changing into her new clothes, she looks like a little princess! Haha!"

Erza, dressed in a long dress, came to Li Tian's side. The sky-blue dress with lace trim extended all the way to his ankles, and the sash at her waist flowed gently to both sides like a green stream until they "met".

With a large, sparkling butterfly adorning each shoulder and a princess lace hat, Erza, with her short, crimson hair, looks like a little princess straight out of a fairy tale. She is truly adorable.

"elder brother..."

Erza blushed at Lin Tian's sudden praise, lowered her head shyly, and dared not look at the people around her.

"Alright, Lin Tian! You've made little Erza blush. Let's eat!"

Kikyo, holding Erza's little hand, smiled gently and stopped Lin Tian from teasing Erza any further. Then she led Erza to the dining table and began to enjoy the food prepared by Krystal and the others.

"Ace! Stop stealing my apples! From today onwards, I can eat apples all by myself!!!"

"What? What are you saying? I can't hear you!"

"You!!! There's so much food on the table, why aren't you eating it? Why do you have to fight me for an apple?"

"Eat an apple, and you'll become stronger! I'm going to be the Pirate King, so I have to get stronger!"

"But your attribute values ​​are more than ten times higher than mine!!!"

"It's alright! I'll protect you when you get to the East Blue. After all, by then, I should be a great pirate by now! Haha!"

"Friendship over! Yesterday you were saying you were afraid of implicating me, afraid the Navy would find this place. Today you're showing this side of yourself over an apple! Ace, take this apple core attack!"

"Ah~"

"O(∩_∩)O Haha~"

The laughter and chatter at the dinner table brought a smile to Erza's face, something she hadn't done in a long time.

Having just escaped the Tower of Paradise, she never expected to find three kind people who love her so quickly.

"Erza, hang in there! You have to be strong, you can't live in the past forever!"

......

After lunch, the group chatted for a while before starting their afternoon work.

Lin Tian first used the collected branches to make a few simple fishing rods for Ace and Kikyo, and then made himself a simple bow and arrow, a simple insect net, and a simple axe.

Unlocked the "Everyday Life Begins with Crafting Items!" milestone and earned 300 Nook Miles!

"Everyday life starts with crafting items!" A special event is currently underway where you'll receive Nook Miles based on the number of items you craft! Don't worry too much if your items break; just keep making new ones!

Why are there no tools listed in my tool manual?

Ace stared at the empty screen of his phone's item manual app, holding the three fishing rods in front of him, and looked at Lin Tian with some envy.

"Maybe you're just as unlucky as me..."

What is "unlucky"?

"Here, take this bow and arrow. If you see any balloons, remember to shoot them down. There might be some unknown gift boxes inside."

Lin Tian didn't explain to Ace what "unlucky" meant. Thinking that Ace might encounter balloons while fishing, he took out his newly made bow and arrow and handed it to Ace.

"..."

Seeing that Lin Tian didn't explain what "unlucky" meant, Ace rolled his eyes, put his bow and arrows back into his backpack, and headed towards the beach. They had just assigned their respective tasks.

Ace went fishing at the beach, and Kikyo went fishing by the river. As for Lin Tian, ​​he was going to take Erza to unlock more beginner milestones.

"Goodbye, Kikyo-neechan and Ace-nii-san! Have a safe journey!"

Goodbye, little Erza! ×2

"Let's go, little Erza..."

"Okay, brother!"

After the two disappeared into the woods, Lin Tian called out to the reluctant Erza and walked towards the eastern woods.

......

Two days later, as the first rays of sunlight shone on the treetops, Lin Tian stepped out of his tent. Without even washing up, he rushed towards the plaza, or more precisely, towards the scorching fruit tree.

The adorable Rabbit Island possesses a kind of magic that constantly cleanses the islanders of their grime. Even if you don't bathe for a year on the island, you won't turn into a mud-covered mess.

If the Sloppy King knew about this place, he would surely faint from happiness.

......

Today is the third day since the Devil Fruit was planted. Yesterday morning, when Lin Tian went to Xiao Ke to accept the daily task, the Devil Fruit tree had already grown into a large tree. According to the island's fruit tree pattern, today is the day this Devil Fruit tree will bear fruit.

Unable to contain his excitement, Lin Tian ran to the square in about ten minutes.

At this moment, the first rays of morning sunlight illuminated the entire tree.

On the Devil Fruit tree covered with green leaves, three bright orange-red spherical fruits stood out.

"Great! It actually grew a Flame-Flame Fruit! Haha~"

Excited, Lin Tian quickly ran to the Devil Fruit tree and shook the trunk vigorously. The Flame-Flame Fruits growing on the tree fell to the ground with a whooshing sound.

Lin Tian bent down and picked up the nearest Flame-Flame Fruit, carefully examining the second-generation Flame-Flame Fruit in his hand.

Just like the one Ace gave him, it was a fat version of a dragon fruit, with spiral patterns all over its surface. One end of the green stem was swirling and the other end was flame-shaped.

"It looks like the Flame-Flame Fruit, but does it actually inherit the Flame-Flame Fruit's abilities?"

Lin Tian stared at the Devil Fruit, his expression turning serious.
