My two-dimensional resident

Erza and Artoria, focused on swordsmanship, had no time for fishing. Kikyo, busy planning routes, also had no time...

Who on earth had the time to donate these fish? Lin Tian scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

"It's Miss Lenalee. She came here last night and donated twelve kinds of fish to me. There are flounder, bony-tongued fish, piranhas..."

Boda noticed Lin Tian's doubts and explained that the fish were donated by Lin Nali.

"Oh, I see. I have another scorpion here, you probably don't have one."

When Boda mentioned that Lenalee had donated 12 kinds of fish to the museum, Lin Tian suddenly realized that Lenalee hadn't even earned enough of her 30 Bells yet, and she was already donating fish to the museum.

"That Arowana was worth 10,000 Bells! All twelve fish together are over 40,000 Bells, which is a considerable sum for her. I just mentioned it casually, and she remembered it. Ugh... can't this girl be a little more selfish?!"

"I'm sorry, Island Master Lin Tian. We already have a scorpion. This morning, Mr. Hyuga Neji came and donated a scorpion and a tarantula."

"...Neji, that expressionless guy, I only see him for meals. Isn't he supposed to be in the arena training his Eight Gates? Why did he suddenly decide to help me..."

First it was Lenalee, then Hyuga Neji. Lin Tian hadn't expected the two of them to care so much about his words. They hadn't expressed their opinions to him during the meal, and as a result, the two of them quietly donated the fish and insects they had caught to the museum.

"That's alright then. Boda, I'll come find you again once I've caught a new species."

Since the two of them beat him to it, Lin Tian could only put the three fish on the ground back into his spatial backpack and then continue fishing for the fish that Lin Nali had not donated.

Good morning, Lin Tian!

"Artoria? You didn't come here to donate items too, did you? I told you you have to earn 30 before you can leave the island. You should go earn some money first."

Just as Lin Tian was about to leave, Artoria, wearing a blue dress, walked into the museum. Seeing Lin Tian there, she greeted him.

"Erza told me yesterday that you are her best brother, gentle, kind, understanding, and generous. Why did you bring up that 30 as soon as we met today? I came here to find Boda because I dug up two fossils and need him to identify them."

When Artoria heard Lin Tian mention money right away, she gave a disgruntled snort and explained why she had come here.

"Haha, what can I do? I'm short on cash lately! Here, you go ahead and get busy."

After Artoria said that, Lin Tian smiled awkwardly and made way for her.

However, he was curious about the fossils that Artoria had mentioned, so he didn't leave immediately. He decided to wait together for Boda's identification results.

"Mr. Boda, could you please take a look at these two fossils for me? Thank you!"

Seeing that Lin Tian had made way for her, Artoria didn't say anything more. She went to Boda and took out two fossils from her spatial backpack, handing them to him.

"Hmm... These two fossils, one is a Tyrannosaurus Rex body fossil, and the other is a Triangle Tower skull fossil. In short, they are both very precious. Miss Artoria, you are very lucky."

As expected of a professional, Boda quickly identified which animal the two fossils belonged to for Artoria.

“Are they very precious? Then I’ll donate them to the museum. Oh, and I also have six different kinds of insects. Take a look, and if the museum doesn’t have them, I’ll give them to you as well.”

When Boda handed her the fossils he had identified, Artoria didn't take them. Instead, she took out six insect boxes from her backpack and placed them in front of Boda.

"Artoria, I don't think I asked you to donate anything, yet you're all so enthusiastic. It's making me a little embarrassed. Perhaps..."

Seeing this, Lin Tian quickly spoke up to stop it.

Although these people were all island residents and could donate items to the museum, Lin Tian, ​​a veteran Animal Crossing player, instinctively felt that donating to the museum was his job and he didn't need their help. Besides, they were currently...

"What are you saying? You said that when I become a resident here, we should all help each other."

Are you allowed to help us, but we can't help you? Besides, I've become a resident of your community, so can't I do my part for the museum that we all share?

Lin Tian, ​​you're a bit... um, the word Yin Liya used to describe me perfectly describes the current situation. You're so hypocritical!

After saying that, Artoria ignored Lin Tian's objections and had Boda put away the fossils and insects that the museum didn't have.

"Huh? Me, hypocritical? No, how does this relate to hypocrisy? That idiot Yin Liya, couldn't she teach you some nice words...?"

Hearing Artoria utter the word "double standard," Lin Tian was completely bewildered. He hadn't forbidden them from doing this; he just felt that these people needed Bells right now, so there was no need for them to donate these valuable items.

The two fossils that Artoria took out alone were worth a total of 11000 Bells...

"Oh dear, it seems I'm late."

At that moment, Shinobu Kocho also arrived at the museum. Looking at the two remaining insect boxes between Artoria and Boda, she realized that the two of them had also come to donate items.

Hearing someone else come in, Lin Tian turned his gaze toward the entrance.

"Rin, you're not here to donate supplies too, are you?"

"Yes, Island Master Lin Tian, ​​I'm a little late. You won't mind, will you? I brought several kinds of rare insects. I'm sure you'll be very satisfied. Hehe~"

Butterfly Shinobu covered her red lips with her hand, but could not hide her beauty. Today, she had unusually taken off her Demon Slayer Corps uniform and put on a white dress embroidered with butterfly patterns.

The form-fitting dress perfectly showcased her graceful figure, while also exposing her fair, jade-like calves.

She was stunningly beautiful and exuded a youthful and sunny aura, making it impossible to associate her with the Demon Slayer Corps's Insect Worm.

"I don't mind, I don't mind. If I mind, people will say I'm being hypocritical. Let me see which insects you caught."

Lin Tian covered his forehead and waved his hand, saying.

'What a lovely group of residents!'

......

Chapter 151 New Plans and the Ninth Official Resident

"Pentacle weevil, woodlice, hermit crab, sea cockroach. Miss Shinobu Kocho, besides these four, the museum already has the other two insects, so you can put them away again."

Museum curator Boda flapped his wings, putting four insect boxes into his backpack, then pushed the remaining two insect boxes in front of Shinobu Kocho and said with a smile.

"It's a bit surprising that they donated four common insects. I thought the island owner had already donated these inexpensive insects. What should we do with the remaining crow swallowtail butterflies and blue morpho butterflies? It's a bit of a waste to buy them."

Looking at the black crow swallowtail butterfly and the blue lightning bolt butterfly in the insect box in front of her, Shinobu Kocho muttered in confusion with her red lips.

Lin Tian, ​​who was called out, smiled awkwardly. So far, apart from the whale shark that Kikyo had donated, he had not donated any other items.

"If you don't want to buy them, you can keep them at home. Such beautiful butterflies would make a great pet. If you want to make decorations from the butterflies, then collect more of these beautiful butterflies."

When Flick comes next time, ask him to make a specimen for you. By the way, Flick is a chameleon; he usually appears in red.

Lin Tian glanced at the butterfly clip on Shinobu's head and the butterfly brooch on her chest, his eyes darting around, and he suddenly realized that Shinobu's words were meant for him.

She must have really liked those two butterflies; she had planned to donate them to a museum so she could see them every day. But unfortunately, someone else had already donated them.

She didn't want to sell the two butterflies and imagined keeping them in the square like the whale shark. But Lin Tian was right in front of her, making her embarrassed to tell him about her decision to raise the butterflies.

The reason is that the island belongs to Lin Tian, ​​and everything on the island belongs to Lin Tian. In addition, there are two other important factors: Lin Tian is a money-grubber, and she has not yet saved up 30 Bells.

That's why she spoke like that, trying to subtly probe what Lin Tian, ​​this miser, was thinking.

'Really, they've all come to donate. And she's still worried I'll have a problem with her... Being too sensitive isn't a good thing!'

"If you see something you like in the future, just keep it for yourselves," Lin Tian said after a pause.

"Oh dear, you saw right through my little scheme. How embarrassing, I feel like my face is burning up."

Shinobu Kocho touched her cheek as she spoke, laughing happily. If she hadn't said it aloud, no one would have guessed how embarrassed she was.

“Indeed, your words are too obvious. Anyone would understand what you’re trying to do,” Artoria chimed in earnestly.

She had no idea that Shinobu Kocho was trying to liven things up.

"Oh dear, even Artoria noticed. Looks like I need to work on my speaking skills."

"No, this is fine."

After listening to their conversation, Lin Tian quickly stopped the possibility of continuing the topic.

The two girls were completely on different wavelengths, one possessing exceptional emotional intelligence, the other having all their emotional intelligence honed through physical prowess. They were utterly disoriented, and Lin Tian was utterly exhausted listening to them.

"Really? Hehe. By the way, Island Master Lin Tian, ​​I saw a red balloon today and dropped a gift box. I think you'll really like what's inside?"

Shinobu Kocho, with her exceptional emotional intelligence, understood Lin Tian's meaning and changed the subject accordingly. She then took a cherry from her spatial backpack and handed it to Lin Tian.

"This is... a cherry?!"

After receiving the cherry from Shinobu Kocho, Lin Tian could not hide his joy and shouted excitedly, his expression full of gratitude as he looked at Shinobu.

"Great! I won't have to eat apples every day anymore. Although eating apples can increase my stats, I'm almost sick of them! Thank you, bear with it!"

Lin Tian doesn't yet know the specific function of this cherry, but any fruit that can appear on an island must have a function similar to that of an apple.

After suppressing his excitement, Lin Tian looked at the two of them.

"It seems my fruit orchard plan needs to be moved up. There's something I need to ask of you two."

Is the orchard project a very important thing?

Upon hearing that Lin Tian needed their help, Artoria's expression turned serious.

Shinobu Kocho also cast a curious glance at Lin Tian.

"Okay, go and call everyone else to the square. This should be our second group activity on our adorable Rabbit Island."

Lin Tian nodded seriously and said in a deep voice.

The lingering excitement on his face startled Shinobu and Artoria, making them realize that something big/interesting was about to happen.

"Okay!" ×2

Without further ado, the two women collected the insects they hadn't managed to donate and left the museum to gather others for Lin Tian.

After watching the two leave the museum, Lin Tian turned his gaze back to the cherry in his hand.

Apples, the adorable fruit native to Rabbit Island, have the ability to enhance and restore the residents' attribute values, making them a kind of red-blue composite "potion".

And what about the cherry that has just arrived on the island? Lin Tian is very much looking forward to its abilities.

After storing the island's first cherry in his spatial backpack, Lin Tian left the museum and headed towards the plaza, waiting for the other residents to arrive.

"Brother! I brought you a little sister. She's so pitiful, can she join us? She's very sensible and won't cause you any trouble!"

Just as Lin Tian was using his phone to plan the scale of the orchard renovation, Erza pulled Binchotan to stand in front of him.

"Hmm? This is that..." Lin Tian put down his phone and turned his gaze to Erza and the other person.

When he noticed the binchotan charcoal, Tong Ren shrank back and instantly recognized the little girl in front of him—the tear harvester!

"Hello, Brother Lin Tian. I am Binchotan, nice to meet you."

Binchotan was not intimidated by Erza bringing her to a stranger. She gracefully lifted her robe, bowed to Lin Tian, ​​and introduced herself.

"Welcome to the adorable Rabbit Island, little Binchotan girl. If you like it here, you can join us."

Looking at the ribbon on Binchotan's back, Lin Tian recalled how he was moved to tears when he watched "Binchotan" back then. He was only eighteen years old at the time, yet he cried because of an anime...
