My two-dimensional resident

In the woods, Erza kept asking Lin Tian when she would be able to use fire magic and what kind of fire magic she could use.

Erza's eagerness to become stronger made Lin Tian's heart clench; he had already seen the deepest thoughts in Erza's eyes.

She longed to become stronger, for only by becoming stronger could she return to the Tower of Paradise that had given her those painful memories, and rescue her friends.

But...she couldn't bear to leave this place, to leave all the people who loved her, especially her brother...

"Okay, brother!"

Erza knew this, but she was still somewhat unwilling and wanted to become stronger quickly. However, Lin Tian's words didn't give her that faint answer.

Feeling dejected, she lowered her head and looked to the side.

The two walked on in silence, and Lin Tian didn't say anything more to comfort the dejected Erza.

He knew that Erza wouldn't listen to anything he said. But he believed that Erza would soon understand.

He was actually quite frustrated because he couldn't use other abilities or fight on this island. This meant that even if he became stronger, he wouldn't be able to acquire combat skills.

Like a child holding a nuclear bomb, they are completely unable to unleash its power, and if used improperly, it can even backfire.

'I need to ask Klein if we can build a place where we can fight. That way, Ace and Kikyo can teach me combat techniques...'

The adorable Rabbit Island has many rules, but Lin Tian believes he is the island's master. He believes that as long as he strongly desires something, the island's will will surely grant his wish...

"Brother, what is that? It's emitting a golden light!"

Just as Lin Tian was wondering whether he should go back the way he came to find Xiao Ke, Erza suddenly grabbed his sleeve, pointed to the bushes beside him, and said to Lin Tian.

"Huh? What's this?!"

Following Erza's direction, Lin Tian looked at the bushes. At first, he thought Erza was referring to the bushes, but when his gaze sharpened, he discovered a ray of golden light piercing through the gaps in the bushes.

In Animal Crossing, there are only two kinds of things that can emit a golden light: one is stars that fall to the ground at night, but stars only appear at night and disappear during the day. It's impossible for him to discover them now.

Then there is only one possibility.

Lin Tian took out a simple shovel from his backpack and led Erza across the bushes. A five-pointed star crack emitting golden light came into view on the ground.

"This is a money pit! I never expected to encounter it today! Erza, you're truly my lucky charm!"

A money pit, as the name suggests, is a pit filled with money. When you find this pit in Animal Crossing, you can use a shovel to dig out a bag of money.

But that wasn't the biggest surprise.

After praising Erza again, Lin Tian picked up a shovel and dug into the money pit, whereupon a bag full of bells was unearthed.

Lin Tian put the Bell Coin bag into his backpack, and 1000 Bell Coins instantly appeared in his Bell Coin account.

This 1000 Bells was like a windfall. But it didn't make Lin Tian show the same joy he had when he discovered the money pit.

He then took out a bag of bells containing ten thousand bells, planted it in the still-glowing pit, covered the bag with soil, and then put away his simple shovel with satisfaction, revealing a smile.

Erza was puzzled by Lin Tian's actions. Just as she was about to ask Lin Tian why he did this, Lin Tian explained to her in advance why he did it this way.

"The Money Pit is very special! Besides digging up money, you can also grow a Money Tree! And once the Money Tree grows, it will produce three bags of Bells. Alas, it only produces them once..."

"Wow! Is that really true? Then why didn't you plant more, brother? Why did you only plant 10,000?"

Upon hearing that this money pit could actually grow a money tree, Erza's innocent eyes flashed with an unusual light, filled with excitement and confusion as she asked a question.

"Because the money tree has a limit to the amount of bells it can produce. You can only plant a maximum of 10,000; planting more will only result in losses."

Furthermore, when it's time to harvest three days later, you can't just shake the money bags off the tree. Instead, you have to sell the entire money tree to Xiaodou and the others to earn 3.

If you don't do this, and you shake the Bell bag down, you'll most likely only get 1 Bells.

Seeing Erza's money-grubbing nature suddenly awaken, Lin Tian smiled slightly and explained with narrowed eyes.

Planting up to 10,000 Bells will yield three times the Bells each time, but planting 10,000 Bells will introduce a probability problem. If you harvest the Bell bags directly from the tree, you will get 10,000 to 30,000 Bells.

Lin Tian considered himself to be having a run of bad luck lately, belonging to the "unlucky" category. So, in order to secure a profit of 2 Bells, he decided to sell the Money Tree to Little Bean and Little Grain.

"Oh, I see! If only there were more money pits! That way we could make money! If we could find ten money pits today, then after three days we could make a steady 200,000 every day! Let's find ten more tomorrow..."

After hearing Lin Tian's explanation, Erza fiddled with the fingers of her two hands, and her little head under her crimson hair began to plot her money-making scheme!

"What are you thinking? On this island, only one money pit appears each day. So your method of making big money won't work. You'd be better off catching more fish..."

"Ouch!"

To prevent Erza's greedy nature from awakening prematurely, Lin Tian tapped her head lightly with his finger. Erza clutched her head in pain, looking at Lin Tian with a wronged expression.

"Alright, let's go find Ace. He's been pacing back and forth on the beach, I don't know what he's doing. Maybe he's missing his buddies too much and got drunk and started acting crazy?"

Lin Tian looked at Erza's aggrieved expression and his heart softened, thinking that he had really hurt her.

To express his apology, he picked Erza up with both hands and placed her on his shoulders, letting her ride on his neck.

Lin Tian's action caused Erza, who was initially somewhat annoyed, to suddenly burst into excited laughter.

Having lived alone since childhood, she felt very envious watching her peers and their families engage in intimate interactions.

Now she has her own family, Lin Tian, ​​who dotes on her all the time.

"Brother, I want to give you a cool haircut!"

"Hehe, whatever Erza does, brother will like it!"

The delicious food these past few days has made Erza quite fat, but she is still a bit thin. Erza riding on his neck did not cause him any discomfort.

As long as it makes the lovely Erza happy, Lin Tian doesn't mind that Erza is getting a new haircut for him, just like Tony the hairstylist.

With the matter of the money tree settled, Lin Tian took out his phone, opened a map app, and checked Ace's location.

Lin Tian noticed the dot representing Ace was moving erratically back and forth on the western beach. He frowned, wondering what Ace was up to, and decided to hurry over and see what was wrong.

Ten minutes later, Lin Tian brought Erza to Ace's tent. Looking at the three figures of different shapes in the distance, Lin Tian's mouth dropped open in shock.

"Brother! Why is Brother Ace fighting that Titan? Is he a bad guy?"

Seeing Ace fighting a long-haired giant who was about 2.5 meters tall with dark skin that couldn't hide his rock-like muscles, Erza, riding on Lin Tian's head, said with some concern.

"Um...they're not exactly bad people. They might have misunderstood each other. Anyway, they can't use their powers on the island, and they won't get hurt. Neither of them is in mortal danger. Let them fight like this for now..."

It was less of a fight and more of a close-quarters dance battle between two equally skilled individuals. They exchanged punches and kicks, but apart from feeling pain, there wasn't a single scratch or bruise.

Lin Tian shifted his gaze from Ace's interaction with the giant to the white-haired girl who was genuinely dancing and gesturing not far from them.

She wore an exquisite purple dress that was immediately recognizable as very expensive, paired with a pure white knee-length skirt and purple boots.

Such a distinctly British style of dress could not possibly belong to a girl living in an ancient setting, especially considering her long silver-white hair, striking red eyes, and the presence of a giant as a companion.

Lin Tian didn't have to think too hard to recognize who the other person was.

Illya, Illyasviel von Einzbern! A female character appearing in *Fate/stay night* and its derivative works. She is one of the most popular characters in the Fate series.

And that giant was her servant, Berserker—Hercules!

Servant, similar to an apostle, is a summoned creature. It is a new term created by mages to distinguish heroic spirit apostles from ordinary apostles.

"How did she end up on this island? She's already summoned a Berserker, so she must be going to Fuyuki City to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War!"

Lin Tian put Erza down on the ground with his arms around her waist and looked at the girl with a puzzled expression.

The Holy Grail War is a competition organized by a group of magicians in a parallel universe within the Type-Moon universe, a contest to obtain the all-powerful Holy Grail...

Each competition only has seven slots for mages and their respective Heroic Spirits... and the girl in front of us, Illya, is a participant in the Fifth Holy Grail War.

How should I put it, Ilya?

Lin Tian, ​​who has watched the Fate series of anime, believes that her fate was destined to be full of hardships from birth.

Her mother is an artificial life form, a half-human, half-artificial being, who was given the responsibility of collecting the souls of Servants from other mages during the Fifth Holy Grail War.

It is a minor Holy Grail from the Fifth Holy Grail War!

The Fifth Holy Grail War has three possible endings and three different timelines. Illya also experiences different tragic fates in each of these three timelines.

As Illya is not the main heroine, she naturally doesn't receive the best treatment. In the three timelines, she is only saved by the male protagonist Shirou Emiya in the Fate route. However, because she was a "tool" prepared for this Holy Grail War, her lifespan ends a year after the Holy Grail War ends.

In other timelines, he either died after Gilgamesh ripped out the android's heart with his bare hands, or he sacrificed himself to save Shirou Emiya.

"Since the island's will brought you here, it must not want you to repeat the tragic endings of those three timelines..."

Lin Tian sighed inwardly, instructed Erza to retreat into the woods, and then walked alone toward Ilya, who was cheering for Berserker.

"Hey! Stop right there! Don't come any closer! I'm a very powerful magician!"

Noticing someone suddenly approaching, he immediately shouted a threat at Lin Tian.

Ilya was already somewhat flustered when she first arrived at the ramp. Her Servant was fighting an enemy, and now another enemy had appeared, which greatly increased her sense of crisis!

Ilya breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Lin Tian stop.

But she was still very frustrated, not understanding why she had come here, and even suspecting that everything here was a trap set for her by the enemy mage who was participating in the Fifth Holy Grail War!

But that shouldn't be the case!

Aside from the head of the Einzbern family and a few maids, only one other person knew that she was going to Fuyuki City. No one else knew her itinerary.

But why would she appear here after taking a short break on her private jet?

A plane crash?! That doesn't seem likely!

Aside from her and Berserker, there was no plane wreckage or the maid's body around...

Why did we end up in this strange and dangerous place?

Ilya's crimson eyes were fixed on Lin Tian, ​​fearing he might suddenly attack her. Meanwhile, she was secretly channeling her magic power, hoping to deliver a fatal blow if he made a move.

"Hello, beautiful Illyasviel von Einzbern. Could you please ask your Servant Berserker to stop attacking my companion? We mean you no harm!"

Seeing Ilya's feigned composure, Lin Tian didn't want to provoke her further, so he smiled slightly to show goodwill.

"You actually know my name! This is indeed a conspiracy against Einzbern! Who is behind you? The Clock Tower, Atlas Academy, the Wandering Sea, or the Knights of the Inquisition?"

The forces that Ilya mentioned were all organizations in her world that knew about the Holy Grail War, and some of these organizations had even sent people to participate in it.

When the man in front of her actually said her name and her Servant class, Illya was shocked. Her modified heart pounded, but she came from the noble Einzbern family. How could she panic and lose her composure when faced with danger?

After taking a deep breath, Ilya asked Lin Tian, ​​feigning composure.
