My two-dimensional resident

Ilya still had unfulfilled wishes; she didn't want to stay here forever. So, she asked Lin Tian hesitantly.

"You can go back and become a resident here; your personal freedom won't be restricted. If you don't believe me, you can ask everyone..."

"It's true, Sister Illya. Brother is doing all those missions to earn money to build the administrative hall because Brother Ace wants to go back to the East Blue and become the Pirate King. Once the administrative hall is built, you can go back to your original world..."

Seeing that Ilya was still hesitant, Erza quickly helped Lin Tian explain. Although her first impression of Ilya wasn't very good, she realized from their time together that Ilya was actually a very kind person.

Although she didn't dare to ask Ilya about her past, she overheard her brother's conversation with her and learned that Ilya's background was just as tragic as her own.

People of the same kind are more compassionate towards their peers. Erza desperately wanted Illya to stay on the island and not participate in that Holy Grail War.

"I see... Since Erza invited me, I'll reluctantly accept..."

After hearing Lin Tian's words, Ilya hesitated for a moment, but Erza's call of "sister" softened her heart, and she decided to join the island.

'Perhaps this isn't necessarily a bad thing.'

Ilya thought to herself, this island is incredibly mysterious, and these people before me all come from different worlds. If she joins this island, she can explore its secrets. And these people might even be able to help her in her Holy Grail War.

'Ilya, what are you thinking? The Holy Grail War is a private matter. They are just outsiders; we can't let them get involved in this cruel war...'

Ilya bit her lip hard, trying to forget that extremely selfish thought.

"Alright, it's settled then. Klein, help Erza and Illya with their island registration..."

Lin Tian was overjoyed that Ilya agreed to join the island. To avoid her changing her mind, Lin Tian didn't waste any time and immediately had Xiao Ke process her entry paperwork.

After Erza and Illya officially became residents, the group didn't linger in the tent. Upon arriving at the plaza, guided by Lin Tian, ​​Kikyo placed the whale shark from her spatial backpack at the western edge of the plaza.

With a loud bang, as the white smoke dissipated, a huge aquarium appeared before everyone. Just like insect boxes, when people on the island catch fish and want to display them, their spatial backpacks automatically assign an aquarium suitable for the fish's life.

Faced with this enormous object that is 30 meters long, 5 meters high, and 20 meters wide.

No one paid much attention to it; their eyes were all drawn to the 12-meter-long sawshark inside.

"My God! This fish is huge!" Erza, the youngest of the group, was stunned by the enormous whale shark. She covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed loudly.

"What an ugly creature! Its flesh must taste terrible!" Ilya said with disgust, looking at the creature covered in white star-shaped spots and its huge, ugly mouth.

'Hehe, I didn't expect Ilya to be such a foodie.' Lin Tian couldn't help but find it amusing after hearing that Ilya thought whale sharks were too ugly and doubted their taste.

"Um, I remember it wasn't this big when I caught it. How come it's so big now..."

Seeing that the whale shark in the aquarium was several times larger than the one she had caught, Kikyo felt a little confused.

"Haha, this is the real form of a whale shark. The whale shark you caught before was just shrunk down by the island's will. Kikyo, look at the white spots on the whale shark, don't they look like stars?"

Seeing that Kikyo was puzzled by the size of the whale shark she had caught, Lin Tian quickly explained.

"Hmm, it does look a bit like it. Lin Tian, ​​after looking at this whale shark for a while, I actually think it's quite cute. What do you think, should we not buy it? Can we just keep it as a pet?"

The whale shark's flat, large head has a small eye on each side, creating a striking contrast that gives it an endearing, slightly goofy look. This made Kikyo somewhat want to keep one as a pet.

"Well, that's a good idea! After all, it's a rare fish, and it's quite beautiful. Let's keep it here, and then move it to the aquarium once the museum is built."

Since Kikyo didn't want to sell it, Lin Tian respected her choice. Although the whale shark was worth 13,000 bells, its rarity far exceeded that price.

Rather than selling it, it's better to keep it and wait for Boda to come to the island and take up the position of museum curator. Then, he can hand over the whale shark to Boda and let it live in the aquarium.

At that time, they will be able to visit the whale sharks living in the aquarium at any time.

After receiving Lin Tian's consent, Kikyo nodded slightly, expressing her joy. However, another question arose in her mind.

"So, if we keep it here, what should we feed it? Apples? Or other fish?"

"Of course...you don't need to feed them anything! This aquarium is amazing; it has a very sophisticated life support system. The fish living in it can survive without us feeding them."

Hearing Kikyo's question, Lin Tian patiently explained.

"Okay, that's fine!" Kikyo nodded, her mind once again awestruck by the island's mysterious power.

"Erza, you stay here with Illya and wait for lunch. Kikyo and I will go and collect the materials stored around here and bring them to the plaza..."

"Brother, does Erza want to help too?"

Upon hearing that Lin Tian was going to work, Erza, who was perched on the transparent wall of the aquarium, turned around and spoke.

"Erza, just take good care of the newcomers. I believe you're the best at this."

As he spoke, Lin Tian winked at Erza. Seeing Lin Tian's hint, Erza immediately understood her mission and earnestly assured him.

"Okay, brother! I promise I won't let Sister Ilya touch Little K, Little Bean, and Little Grain's ears!"

Chapter 53 This chapter has no title; readers can figure it out themselves.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Am I that kind of person?"

Standing to the side, Ilya never expected that she would be betrayed by Erza.

When everyone found out about her little secret, and Erza even said it out loud, Illya exploded on the spot, her silver-white ahoge (antenna-like hair sticking up) shooting straight into the sky.

"Haha~"

Lin Tian was amused by the two's reaction, not expecting Erza to be so straightforward.

However, it was almost time to eat, so Lin Tian didn't waste any more time. He took Kikyo to the temporary storage point for the materials in the vicinity, intending to gather all the materials in the square and count their quantities.

......

At the dining table, Erza and Illya were engrossed in examining their newly acquired cell phones.

After moving the materials, Lin Tian bought three cups of milk tea. He handed one of them to Jie Geng, who was counting the materials, and placed the remaining two cups in front of them.

"This portable computer is so advanced! It's more advanced than computers on the world's technological frontier. Why do you call it a cell phone? It doesn't even have a calling function!"

As a modern person, Ilya quickly became familiar with the functions of a mobile phone. After studying it for a while, she discovered that the mobile phone that Lin Tian and the others were talking about did not have the most basic function of a mobile phone—making a call. It should be more accurately called a portable computer than a mobile phone.

"...It's true that it can't make phone calls, but calling it a cell phone is more convenient. A portable computer, as you described, is so inconvenient. Besides, apart from not being able to make phone calls, its other functions are not much different from a smartphone."

Oh...how could I forget that? There were no smartphones in your time.

Holding a milk tea in one hand and a phone in the other, Ilya's fair and smooth neck trembled rhythmically from the force of drinking the milk tea. Lin Tian couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

"Hmph! Seeing that you bought me such delicious milk tea, I'll forgive you!"

Lin Tian's disdain made Ilya realize that his world was far more advanced than hers. Not wanting to make a fool of herself any longer, she put her phone away and focused on savoring the sweetness of her milk tea.

"hehe!"

Lin Tian shook his head, chuckled softly, and walked back to Kikyo's side. He noticed she wasn't drinking her milk tea and was still checking the materials laid out in the square, which warmed his heart.

A gentle breeze lifted the hem of Kikyo's skirt, revealing a pair of slender, white legs with perfect, flowing lines, free of any excess fat.

gorgeous!

The camera slowly pans upwards, creating ripples in the viewer's mind and prompting thoughts of anything beyond 18. A slender waist and the rounded, full contours of her breasts visible from behind.

An extremely beautiful figure that even the most skilled craftsman could hardly sculpt.

Lin Tian was momentarily stunned. Such beauty and allure, a gift from the Creator, and he had only just discovered it today.

After taking stock of the materials she had collected over the past few days, Kikyo stretched and used her slender, long hands to stroke her neck, which was exposed to the sunlight, as if trying to wipe away the sweat.

She turned around to look for Lin Tian, ​​but found him staring at her. Surprised, she asked him in confusion.

"What's wrong, Lin Tian?"

"No, it's nothing. Thank you for your hard work, Kikyo. Have you collected enough materials these past few days?"

Lin Tian shook his head, dispelling the fantasies in his mind. He sighed inwardly, realizing that he had been blinded by Kikyo's shrine maiden attire before, and now he discovered that she, living in the Warring States period, actually had such a good figure.

"We have enough branches and timber, but we're a bit short on softwood and hardwood. The biggest problem is that we're short 60 pieces of iron ore. I think we'll need to collect for another five days to get all 60 pieces!"

Kikyo has been so actively helping Lin Tian collect materials and fish to earn money these past few days, but she hasn't thought about building the office hall in advance so she can take the Dodo bird plane home to see her sister.

She simply felt that Lin Tian was a gentle and kind person, and as one of his islanders, she should help him more and work together to build a beautiful and harmonious island nation.

Other thoughts had crossed her mind a few times, but Kikyo, who had just suffered a heartbreak, dared not hope for them.

"Hmm... Softwood and hardwood are easier to collect since there are forests all around. As for iron ore... well, our current area of ​​activity is too small, only about a quarter of the island."

Stone resources are limited, but that's no longer a problem.

Today, when I paid my loan, Xiao Ke gave me two tool crafting diagrams: a vaulting pole and a ladder. With these, we can explore the entire island and increase our chances of encountering stone quarries.

I think we can collect enough iron ore in less than five days!

Lin Tian lowered his head and pondered. The stone quarry on the island was a huge stone with a fixed location that refreshed on the island.

Each stone mine refreshes and stores up to 8 minerals per day. People can use axes to break through the stone mine to obtain minerals such as stone, clay, iron ore, and copper ore.

Within the quarter of the area where Lin Tian and his group were located, there were five stone mines. Over the past three days, they had been quite lucky, collecting 40 pieces of iron ore, as well as some stones, clay, and copper ore.

Despite being blessed by Lady Luck, Kikyo seems to have bad luck with mining, failing to find any gold ore worth 10,000 Bells.

"That's great! What materials do you need to make the vaulting pole and ladder? Do you need me to collect them for you?"

Kikyo poked a hole in the milk tea with a straw, inserted the straw, and took a sip of the sweet milk tea. She felt happy inside, but her face didn't show much emotion.

That's how Kikyo is; she keeps everything to herself and doesn't usually show her emotions on her face.

"No special materials are needed; wood, softwood, and hardwood will suffice. After dinner, I'll make a ladder and a jumping pole for each of you..."

Thank you so much these past few days for helping me so much. I've even thought about being like Ace, offering myself in return for nothing. Hehe.

"Hmph, if you really want to thank me, sing me a few songs. I haven't heard you sing for days."

Seeing Lin Tian suddenly flirting with her, Kikyo felt a slight unease, but her expression remained unchanged. She gave a soft hum and then stated her request.

"Sure, since Erza is officially a resident today, let's have a party tonight. It'll be my genius singer's special performance!"

Lin Tian hadn't expected Kikyo to enjoy his singing so much. He scratched his head and promised to sing for her at the banquet that evening. But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized he'd made a mistake.

"Um...we can't have the banquet tonight. I got a fishing quest from Little Ke today, and we're going sawshark fishing tonight. Sawsharks aren't as hard to catch as whales, but they only appear at night..."

Having just made a promise to Kikyo, Lin Tian immediately went back on his word, leaving him awkwardly watching her. He inwardly cursed himself for being so impulsive.

"It's alright, there'll be plenty of time later... Ace and that newcomer are back. Let's eat!"

Kikyo felt a little disappointed that she couldn't hear Lin Tian sing to her, but she understood that she had a mission to complete.

Hearing that Ace had returned, Lin Tian followed Kikyo's gaze and looked into the distance. Ace led Heracles towards them, one in front and one behind.
