My two-dimensional resident

Lin Tian wanted to, but seeing Kikyo's "murderous" eyes, he didn't have the guts to go over and stick to them.

"You want to get stronger, right? It just so happens that Artoria has come to the island. Find a way to get her to teach you swordsmanship. Although Shinobu Kocho's swordsmanship is very advanced, she leans towards the way of assassination. Artoria's way of chivalry is more suitable for you."

Although Artoria had made it clear yesterday that she wanted to return as soon as possible, Lin Tian thought that if Erza needed her help, she would definitely guide Erza.

Who could resist Erza calling her "sister"?

Anyway! So far, all the female residents on the island have regarded Erza as their closest sister.

"But... Artoria seems to be doing a quest, unlocking a milestone. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to disturb her?"

When Erza heard her brother tell her to go to Artoria to learn swordsmanship, her eyes lit up, and she felt a little eager to try.

Erza had already witnessed Artoria's swordsmanship in her sister Illya's castle. Besides Hercules, Artoria was only the second person Erza had ever seen who could defeat Ace so decisively.

But when Erza thought about how seriously Artoria had been fishing, she felt a little embarrassed to disturb her.

"Silly you, it's precisely because Artoria is about to leave that your brother is telling you to hurry up and go find her to learn kendo."

Artoria's identity is complicated. She had an agreement with Valhalla, and if she goes back this time, it's uncertain when she'll return. So if you don't take this opportunity to learn from her now, you never know when you'll have another chance.

Since Artoria was a Heroic Spirit belonging to Valhalla before coming here, Lin Tian couldn't be sure whether she would return to Valhalla or Great Britain after she went back.

"Oh, okay? Then I'll go find Artoria-neechan now! Kikyo-neechan, brother, bye-bye~"

After saying that, Erza quickly left Kikyo's embrace, turned around and ran out of the house, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"This girl..."

Watching Erza leave in a hurry, Lin Tian shook his head, wondering if she was stimulated by Ace's departure.

---Aside---

Thank you Demon Lord I for the 1500 coins! Love you, muah!

Chapter 146 Shock! Lin Tian is actually a large landowner!

At that moment, Kikyo walked to her side, looked out the door, and sighed.

"It seems Erza is leaving. Lin Tian, ​​are you willing to let her go?"

"This... she really has grown up. The fledgling must eventually fly on its own. Kikyo, you are the one who is most reluctant to see Erza leave."

Kikyo's words surprised Lin Tian. But upon reflection, it made sense. Erza did indeed have some unresolved matters. It would be strange if she didn't go back for revenge.

Lin Tian felt a pang of sadness at Ace's departure. But he fully supported Erza's desire to return. Only then could she regain her trusting family.

Lin Tian adored this younger sister, but he didn't want to keep this "phoenix" tied to his side forever, treating her like a fledgling.

He hoped she could fly farther and higher, see a wider world, and experience a more wonderful life.

Kikyo's tone, with its undisguised sadness, made Lin Tian realize that she was the one who least wanted Erza to return "home."

Kikyo fell silent, Lin Tian's words resonating deeply within her. She recalled Erza fainting from fright upon first seeing her, and Erza's inability to fall asleep without her lullaby.

She asked herself, she already considered Erza as her own sister and couldn't bear to see her leave her.

"Don't be sad. If you miss Erza after you go back, I can take you to her."

Holding Kikyo in his arms and gently stroking her back, Lin Tian leaned close to her ear and comforted her.

......

After leaving Kikyo's house, Lin Tian headed north to the service hall.

With Klein's help, he spent 100 million Bells to upgrade his 30-slot backpack to 40 slots. Upgrading backpack slots is something every resident must do.

Only with a large enough backpack can he carry more items.

Although the second upgrade to the backpack cost ten times more than the first, it was all worth it.

'vampire!'

Losing a million Bells at once was like a knife to Lin Tian's heart. As he felt his inventory expand by ten slots, he cursed inwardly that the tanuki in front of him wasn't a tanuki, but a vampire, a vampire that was sucking Bells from him.

What's done is done, there's no going back.

After calming down, he took two stone bridge land use work modules (work groups) and one stone ramp land use planning module from Xiao Ke.

Afterwards, he installed two stone slab bridges near Kikyo's house and at the northeast corner of the river on the first floor, and gave each of the construction contractors 19.8 bells as construction fees.

Next, they arrived at the second-floor cliff leading to Hyuga Neji's house, placed the stone-cutting road land planning module, and gave the terracotta warrior in charge of the project 9.8 bells.

In Animal Crossing, the Bells spent on building public facilities do not need to be given to K. He is only responsible for distributing various types of bridge and ramp building plans.

Players can choose where to place bridges and ramps based on their island's terrain or their own preferences, and place the planning modules there.

Once placed, an NPC figurine from the Nok Corporation's Public Facilities Construction Department will appear. He resembles a fire hydrant on the road, but unlike a fire hydrant, he is entirely yellow, wears a white safety helmet, and has a nose and eyes; he is very cute.

When he appears, the player can talk to him.

He will then charge a fee for constructing the facility. For example, if the player receives a log bridge construction kit, the summoned terracotta warrior will charge the player 9.8 for the construction of the log bridge.

Here's a very user-friendly feature: the cost of building public facilities doesn't need to be paid out all at once; players can pay in installments. Construction only begins once the funds have been raised.

Public facilities are built very slowly, usually taking three days to be completed and ready for residents to use.

"I'm the sucker!"

Lin Tian remembered very clearly that in Animal Crossing, a stone bridge only cost around 12. But here, the price had actually increased.

The construction cost of this most basic stone slab bridge, without any slope or decorations, was nearly 20 bells.

Other types of bridges, such as stone arch bridges and Chinese-style wooden bridges, cost between 30 and 60 to build. Even the broken ramps have increased in price, with the most expensive red steel ramp costing a whopping 100 million bells.

"Who would use a steel ramp? I certainly wouldn't!"

According to his original plan, Lin Tian intended to use all the Bells he had to build bridges and ramps at once. However, Xiao Ke told him that he could only build three public facilities at a time. That is, he could not build more than three bridges or ramps at a time.

Therefore, Lin Tian decided to build two stone slab bridges and a broken road first. After these public facilities were completed three days later, he would build the second batch.

"2.1 million, plus the 200,000 I had left, that's a total of 2.3 million Bells. I spent 1 million to upgrade my backpack, so I only have 1.3 million left. I've already spent 500,000, so I need another 500,000 for the second batch."

30... Damn! Another bunch of broke people. But that 30 is enough for me to expand my house by one room. But should I expand it or not?

As for the construction of public facilities, he already has a plan. He will first place the building modules at the required locations, and then let the residents donate money themselves. This will save him the trouble of asking them for money again.

On the island, the biggest expenses for Bells are building public facilities and expanding your house. Compared to these two expensive items, buying clothes, decorations, seeds, etc., are relatively inexpensive.

There's no wealth ranking on the island, nor are there rewards for whoever has the most money. Plus, the current residents are all of good character. So Lin Tian isn't worried that they'll become misers.

"Oh right, I haven't received the 300,000 from Neji and the others yet. Each person needs 100,000 to upgrade their red brick house, so I'll have 200,000 left. Including Artoria, there are currently four new residents, so I'll get 800,000. 800,000... that's still a bit low... just enough to build eight ramps, or four stone bridges..."

Lin Tian took out a sword from his spatial backpack, gripped the hilt, and began sketching on the beach, calculating how many public facilities he would need to build and how many Bells he would need to earn...

Unlike the natural world, Rabbit Island is not covered in mountains and basins. Its terrain is like a cake, except it's a three-tiered square cake.

The island is divided into three parts by three rivers. The two southern parts have only one layer of land, while the northern part has three layers of land.

The island currently has a total area of ​​60 square kilometers, with the first-floor land area being approximately 40 square kilometers and the second and third-floor land area being approximately 20 square kilometers.

Above the second level, the two three-tiered landmasses, one large and one small, are separated by a huge lake. The larger one is in the east, and the smaller one is in the west, with land areas of approximately 8 square kilometers and 6 square kilometers respectively.

There is a lake in the center of each of the two three-tiered landmasses, each about 1 to 2 square kilometers in size. The western lake is an inland lake, while the eastern lake is different; it has a stream flowing westward into the second-tier landmass.

The water in this lake flows from the third floor into a gourd-shaped lake at the very center of the second floor. This gourd-shaped lake on the second floor has an area of ​​approximately 4 square kilometers.

On the mobile map, it looks like an upside-down gourd, with the stream connecting to the East Third Lake like a blue ribbon wrapped around its waist.

A "blue liquid" flowed from the gourd's mouth, drawing a straight line on the map. It flowed southward, into a landmass, and joined the river on that landmass.

Although the terrain is not very complex, Lin Tian estimated that at least 40 more ramps and 16 bridges would need to be built to make it convenient for all residents to travel.

Based on the current construction costs of 9.8 for the ramp and 19.8 for the slab bridge, the estimated total cost to complete these public facilities is 708.8 bells.

So many! There are way too many!

Looking at the astronomical number of dollars on the beach, Lin Tian fell into deep thought. An apple on the island only costs 200 bells; how many apples would that astronomical number require?

"Take my time. There's no time limit anyway, so I'm not in a rush. Money is something you can earn slowly. Maybe I'll earn 1000 million in the next world?... Sooner or later, I'll be able to transform this island into the island of my dreams..."

He erased the marks on the beach and stood there, continuing to ponder.

Although so many public facilities need to be built, this wasn't a task Little K assigned him. He doesn't need to travel to other worlds for these facilities.

Yin Liya's world had already exhausted him. He wanted to be a carefree, easygoing young man, spending his days fishing and basking in the sun. But now that he was in her world, in order to protect Yin Liya, Lin Tian forced himself to revert to being the powerful and charismatic figure he was in the game world.

This "Sleeping Dragon" is not the "Sleeping Dragon" of the "Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick" idioms, but rather the "Sleeping Dragon" of Zhuge Liang.

Exhausted, Lin Tian didn't want to recall those past events.

"Luckily, Xiao Ke gave me the blueprints for the ladder and vaulting pole. Otherwise, we'd be stuck in such a small area right now..."

Now the residents all have ladders and jumping poles. They can reach any point on the island using these two tools. It's a bit of a hassle, but at least they can get there, right...?

As for the fixed ladder, Lin Tian didn't plan to use it. Firstly, climbing up and down would be too troublesome, and secondly, it wouldn't look good.

"I'm going fishing first, to add some new species to the museum's aquarium. It looks empty and unsightly otherwise..."

Donating insects, fish, fossils, and marine life to museums doesn't cost a penny. Simply give Boda anything that the museum doesn't already have.

On the adorable Rabbit Island, there are a total of 82 types of fish, not counting those that only appear during a single season. The legendary and rare fish that are permanently present are extremely difficult to encounter.

Some fish even require bait to appear. Therefore, filling the entire aquarium would take a very long time.

Imagining that he could have a date with Kikyo at the museum someday, Lin Tian suddenly became very motivated. He took out his simple fishing rod and walked towards the coastline where he could see the shadows of fish.

......

Chapter 147 Are two people who grew up with different worldviews really unable to understand each other?

"It was just a flounder, what a waste of all my effort. But it's better than catching a bass!"

After putting the flounder on the hook into his spatial backpack, Lin Tian looked at the five bass in the backpack, his face full of black lines.

It's not fish sauce, it's sea bass!

It's not fish sauce, it's sea bass!

It's not fish sauce, it's sea bass!

Looking at the five bass, Lin Tian's brain started to buzz.

"Never mind, I won't drop it. I'm going to have lunch!"
