My two-dimensional resident

But I remember fishing competitions on the boat, I never lost, let me count them carefully!

The first time was when Charlie boarded the boat; there were three people on board in total, and I caught two more fish than the other two. The second time was...

The third time...the fourth time...

.......

The 30th...

Ace felt that Lin Tian's intervention was a sarcastic remark. However, faced with an angry Erza, he didn't dwell on it and quickly admitted that he was bad at math.

At the same time, he raised his hands and began to seriously count how many fishing championships he had won in front of Erza and the others.

Seeing Ace counting on his fingers, the others remained silent. Except for Ilya, who seemed to be deep in thought, everyone else was watching to see how many consecutive fishing tournament championships Ace had won.

Honestly, of everyone present, only Lin Tian had ever been to school. But Erza and Kikyo could at least count, and as for Illya, her private school education didn't count.

Erza was no longer angry. Watching Ace struggle to press his left hand down with his chin, she believed Lin Tian's words and concluded that Ace hadn't learned math well.

Who could count using their chin? Even though Erza had never been to school, seeing Ace's amazing feat opened a new world for her.

"The 37th...the 70th...the 76th...the 68th..."

When Lin Tian heard Ace finish counting to thirty-seven and then immediately go straight to seventy, his brows began to furrow. When he heard Ace return to sixty-eight after seventy-six, he couldn't hold back any longer and quickly interrupted Ace's counting.

"Stop, stop, stop! Ace, let's not count anymore! I'll tutor you in math when I have time, then you can count!"

"Uh... Lin Tian, ​​I haven't finished speaking yet..."

Ace, who was lost in fond memories with his crew, was annoyed when Lin Tian stopped him from counting. He turned his head to look at Lin Tian and began to express his dissatisfaction.

“Brother Ace… I think… Brother Lin Tian is right… Let’s not count how many fishing championships you’ve won. It’s not too late now, we still have important things to do.”

Erza covered her forehead with her hands, unable to bear looking at Ace, who was sitting on the ground with his shoes off and using his toes.

I thought counting with fingers and chin was already outrageous, but I never expected that Ace would even use his toes.

Erza realized for the first time that the warm-hearted and sunny Ace had such an unknown side.

P.S.: I failed to advance, so there will be no more recommendations. I promised everyone that I would add an extra chapter if I had successfully advanced, but since I failed, there won't be. However, looking at all my readers who have been supporting me, I thought about it and—no! Without even thinking, I'll add an extra chapter anyway!

"Alright, we'll do as Erza says! Let's go bug catching and see who wins the bug catching championship this time! Haha!"

Now that Erza was no longer angry, Ace realized that counting how many fishing championships he had won was a waste of time, so he quickly put on his shoes, stood up, and organized everyone to participate in the insect-catching competition.

"Twenty insect nets should be enough for us. Everyone, put four nets in your backpacks."

While Ace was counting how many fishing championships he had won, Lin Tian didn't waste any time. Using the branches in his backpack and the two piles of branches he had just picked up from the square, he made twenty simple insect nets.

One insect net can catch ten insects, so four nets can catch forty. If everyone catches forty insects tonight, that's 200 insects.

If each one sells for an average of 2000 Bells, then they can earn 40 Bells. This is a huge windfall for Lin Tian and his group!

With this money, Lin Tian could not only quickly upgrade his house, but also have an extra 20 to build more log bridges.

This adorable rabbit island is too big, and the bridge that has been built so far doesn't offer much convenience. To this day, Lin Tian and his group still cross the river by jumping poles instead of taking the long detour to use the bridge.

To put it bluntly, the bridge they built earlier was only to complete the task assigned to them by Little K.

Because the area is too large, its practicality is very low.

So, to make it easier for everyone to cross the river, Lin Tian roughly calculated that they needed to build 18 bridges across the river to the north of the square and to the east of his house.

This would make it easier for everyone to cross the river to collect materials and do other things.

"Why are there only four per person? Lin Tian could do more! Let's try to catch all the insects on the island!!!"

Ace, who had been fishing since arriving on the island, looked at the four insect nets in his hands and felt that he couldn't unleash his true potential, so he spoke up.

"Are you not going to sleep tonight? Insects aren't everywhere on the island. It'll be quite an achievement if you manage to wear out these four bug nets tonight."

Don't even think about staying up all night to catch bugs. We can catch them until midnight. After all, health is the most important thing, even though the concept of illness doesn't exist on this island.

But I don't want to disrupt your routines.

No more cutthroat competition! No more all-nighters! Today, each of us has a target of 40 insects. If we don't reach that, no problem! But we can't stay up all night catching insects just to earn money!

As a young person living in the competitive world of the 21st century, Lin Tian detests this kind of competition. In order to earn more money, he makes his friends stay up all night catching insects everywhere.

He scoffed at this kind of basic operation, which was typical of evil capitalists, and would never let his partner do it.

If he made such a request, he believed that Erza, Kikyo, Ace, and the others before him would certainly comply and stay up all night catching insects... until Flick left.

'Wouldn't that make me a wicked capitalist? No! I wouldn't do that!'

Kikyo took the insect net from Lin Tian's hand, her mouth slightly open as if she wanted to say something, but Lin Tian shook his head, meaning that although Kikyo didn't need to rest, he didn't want her to spend the whole night catching insects.

"Ilya, what's wrong? You've been spacing out ever since. Are you feeling unwell? If you don't want to catch insects, I won't force you!"

After handing the three insect nets to Erza, Lin Tian went to Ilya's side.

When he handed the insect net to Ilya, she ignored him and didn't take it.

Noticing that Ilya was acting strangely, Lin Tian asked her softly.

"Don't get too close to me!!!"

Lin Tian's words startled Ilya from her reverie. Upon seeing Lin Tian in front of her, she immediately became alert, taking a few steps back as if avoiding an enemy, and shouted loudly.

"What's wrong, Ilya?"

Ilya's sudden madness left Lin Tian at a loss. He stared intently into her eyes, his gaze filled with nothing but hostility, resentment, and unwillingness.

"Ilya?"

"Sister Ilya?"

The unexpected turn of events involving Ilya drew the attention of everyone present, who all turned their gazes toward her, their minds filled with confusion and doubt.

"You liar! You've been lying to us all along! You said we could leave once the service hall was built! But you never expected that guy named Flick would come here, did you?"

To avoid arousing our suspicion, you quickly suggested that everyone catch insects to make money, trying to distract us! But you're wrong, I'm a magician! How could I possibly be fooled by your clumsy trick!

Tell me! Besides taking a plane, what other way is there to leave here? Don't lie to me! Flick's arrival has proven that everything you said before was a lie!

Ilya was furious. She never expected that her newly accepted partner had been deceiving her all along.

While Lin Tian and the others were chatting, she kept thinking about why Lin Tian had lied to her and why he hadn't told everyone how to leave the island.

Actually, Ilya didn't suspect Lin Tian at first, but when he told everyone present that the person who came was a businessman.

When Ilya heard from Lin Tian that the merchant would be leaving the next morning and asked everyone to catch insects together, she discovered a problem.

Since merchants can land on the island, but planes on the island cannot leave due to radar restrictions, there must be other routes to leave.

“Ilya, you’ve misunderstood me! I would never lie to you.”

When I asked Klein, Kikyo was also there. Klein did say that if you want to leave here, you can only wait until the office hall is built and the airport radar is repaired so that your world coordinates can be located.

As for how Flick got to the island... well... you might not believe me if I told you. But it's true, I don't know how Flick got there either.

Having someone here who is constantly on guard and doesn't trust you made Lin Tian feel a little weary. But he didn't blame Ilya; after all, her suspicions weren't without reason.

He had no idea how Flick got to the island. Not only here, but even when Lin Tian was playing Animal Crossing, he still didn't understand how Flick got there.

Because of the dodo bird planes on the island, he always assumed that Flick had arrived by plane.

Upon hearing that Flick had arrived, Lin Tian was so focused on this opportunity to make money that he didn't even realize how Flick had gotten here.

"Do you think I'd believe you after you say that? The lie has been exposed, and you can't find any other reason. Are you going to try and fool me with these weak and feeble words?"

Hearing that Lin Tian still wouldn't tell them the truth, Ilya's last bit of trust and expectation in Lin Tian shattered.

The light that had been flashing in her crimson pupils dimmed and began to moisten. The hatred between her brows gradually faded, replaced by disappointment and desolation.

“Ilya, it’s true! I didn’t lie to you!”

"Enough! Stop talking! Your fake smile disgusts me. I'm going to find Berserker, to find that Flick. I'm going to have him take us out of here! Are you trying to imprison me here by blocking my way?"

Ilya wanted to hate the man in front of her, but for some reason she couldn't bring herself to do it, except for her disappointment in him.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, her kind heart ultimately believed what Lin Tian had said before. But she would never forgive Lin Tian for concealing the truth about leaving the island.

Deception is deception! It will never be forgiven!

With all grudges settled, Ilya chose to sever all ties with Lin Tian, ​​as if she had never known him.

Seeing Ilya's expression, Lin Tian knew that no matter what explanation he gave, she wouldn't understand. So he moved a few steps to the side, making way for Ilya to walk into the woods.

"Sister Ilya..."

Erza was somewhat at a loss after Ilya's sudden departure. She murmured to herself, unsure of what to do.

"Ugh... How am I supposed to know how Flick got to the island? This is a real headache!"

With his hands pressed on either side of his head and his thumbs pressing on his temples, Lin Tian didn't know why he was doing this.

"Lin Tian, ​​I believe you! A comrade whom I, Ace, trust, would not deceive his friends!"

Just as Lin Tian was deciding to follow Ilya to find out how Lance got to the island, Ace patted him on the shoulder from behind, his words brimming with confidence.

“Brother! I don’t believe you would lie to us either. There must be some misunderstanding! Sister Illya is in a hurry to return to Fuyuki City to find that person named Emiya Shirou, so she misunderstood you.”

Erza also came to Lin Tian's side, took his arms with both hands, and comforted him in a soft voice.

"you..."

Lin Tian patted Erza's head, then turned to look at Ace and Kikyo not far away, his eyes filled with trust in him.

He hadn't felt disappointed at first because Ilya had misunderstood him. But now, he was moved to tears by the looks in the eyes of these three people who had always trusted him.

Trusting himself completely, Lin Tian suddenly felt a bit like he had met Erza, who called him "sister," and didn't know what to say.

"Thank you for your trust. Actually, I really don't know how Flick got here, and I hadn't thought about it before. But since Flick is on the island, let's go find him and ask him how he got here."

If he has a way to freely enter the island, then Ace, you won't have to wait for the administration building to be built before you can return to the East Blue.
