The sun shone on the green lawn. Ellie raised her hands and stretched lazily.
"Ah... It's so comfortable, so comfortable... I don't have to worry about being burned by the sun. I can stroll leisurely on the beach and play as I please... Don't you think it's great, Setsuna?"
"If you ask me, I would just say that you are really..."
Following behind Ai Li, Setsuna looked around and then opened her mouth, but could not say anything.
“This is too…”
"What does it matter? You can do whatever you want as long as you have money, right?"
“That’s not the question!!”
At the moment, Xuecai and Ai Li are in the latest block on Genshin Island - the ninth area. This is the area that Ai Li broke when she fought against the divine weapon in the previous battle. It was originally used as a garbage filling facility, but Ai Li obviously has another use for it.
After getting the permission from the artificial island council, Ai Li started construction right away. It took less than ten days for the artificial island that was originally built as a large landfill facility to completely transform into a completely different place. Looking at the gentle sea breeze, the sea and beach in the distance, as well as the emerald green lawns and woods, Xue Cai felt that it was not an artificial island at all, but more like a summer resort located on the sea.
"But it's really amazing. I really don't understand how you did it, Senior."
Looking up at the azure sky and the dazzling sunshine, Xue Cai couldn't help but whisper to herself. No wonder she had such doubts, because the outside of this artificial island was completely covered with octahedrons similar to crystal glass. But from the inside, there was no sign of any obstacles.
"It's just a little trick, it makes it more comfortable."
Ellie sat down and then lay directly on the grass with a slight smile on her lips.
In fact, this artificial island is different from other artificial islands. It was built entirely by Ellie. Although Ellie could not use the Protoss' "Tan Ji" in this world, Fang Zheng still had the manufacturing materials for the octopus robots obtained from the world of "The Matrix". Ellie only took two days to produce two, and then ordered them to multiply themselves and then work.
Although it cannot be seen from the outside, this artificial island is currently a completely independent area under Ellie's instruction. Except for the bridge connecting it to the main island, all other parts are completely separated. For energy, Ellie uses the reactor from the Mass Effect world. For ecological environment protection, Ellie uses the HALO ring belt technology from the Halo world.
In addition, the "curtain" used in the box world to protect the box knights - the vampires from the sun was naturally used by Ellie here. In addition, it also includes seawater desalination, material decomposition... In short, this artificial island brings together the highest technological crystallizations from The Matrix, Halo, Mass Effect, Box World, and Academy City, which is comparable to a small Tiandao Palace.
In fact, Ai Li did build this as a second Tiandao Palace.
Unlike Red Ponytail, Ai Li is a character created by Fang Zheng rather than an avatar. Her task is to maintain and update the system, so even for safety reasons, she cannot stay in the Tiandao Palace. If this world is developed into a base belonging to Ai Li, then any problems that arise in the future will be much easier to deal with.
However, due to various reasons, the Zerg, the Blue Fleet and the Crimson Fleet could not appear in this world, so Ellie had to start from scratch, do it herself and have enough food and clothing.
To her, it was no big deal.
But it’s different for Setsuna.
After all, Ellie just told them yesterday during dinner that "the current house feels a bit small, and she has found a suitable place to build a big house, which will be more comfortable to live in", and then today she directly brought them to this newly built artificial island and told them that the whole island is theirs...
To be honest, Setsuna had no sense of reality and felt as if she were dreaming.
“Wa ...
At this moment, another petite figure ran over quickly. She circled around Ai Li and Xue Cai several times, and then threw herself into Ai Li's arms.
"Sister, sister, sister, I saw a flower field! And there's a pond over there, and a river! Are these all ours? Are they all ours? Can we really live in a place like this?"
"certainly."
Ai Li smiled and stroked Nagisa's head, gently combing her hair.
"This is INDEX's private property, so it's naturally ours. Not only that, I can also tell you an interesting piece of news. Unlike other regions, we can create four seasons here, right?"
"Huh? Really?!"
Hearing this, Nagisa looked up with even more excitement, and Setsuna looked at Airi in surprise. Genkami Island is located in the tropics, and it is spring all year round, with no seasonal changes at all. This is neither good nor bad for people from other continents, and now Airi actually claimed that the four seasons can be simulated here, which alone is enough to surprise people.
"Of course, the changing of seasons is a natural phenomenon. Everything has its own movement and stillness. I also think that the cherry blossoms in spring, the beaches in summer, the rice fields in autumn and the snowy scenery in winter all have their own unique beauty, don't they?"
"Wow, this is amazing. It feels like a waste to give us the place to stay. Are we really the only ones here?"
"I don't really want to let irrelevant people onto the island, but I have promised the artificial island management committee to open a portion of the area as a public place. It will mainly be used as a natural park. After all, compared to the tropical scenery of this island, only here can you see different landscapes from all over the world..."
By the way, in return, Ai Li has quietly spread Academy City's "hover lines" to every corner of the artificial island.
We are the same.
"That's right, sister!"
At this moment, Nagisa suddenly raised his head excitedly and looked at Airi.
“Can we keep animals here?”
"Of course, I was planning to ship in a batch of animals after this... What's wrong? Is there anything you want to raise?"
"Very good!"
However, to Airi's surprise, upon hearing her answer, Nagisa happily raised his hands and jumped up.
"This way Xia Yin's problem is solved!"
“……???”
Hearing this, Ai Li and Setsuna looked at each other.
But soon, they found out the reason.
"Hase Natsune is my classmate and friend. Her favorite thing is to protect and take care of cats. In fact, Natsune has taken care of more than a dozen abandoned cats, but she can't take care of them all by herself, so we decided to find someone willing to adopt these cats. But if you have such a large piece of land, then raising cats will definitely not be a problem."
Walking in the school corridor, Nagisa kept talking to Airi and Setsuna. She would be very talkative in front of the person she liked, even to the point of being a bit long-winded. Fortunately, because of this, Airi and Setsuna also understood the whole story.
"It's true that we can build a cat park. It's pretty good, just like a cat cafe or something like that. We just need to find a few staff to take care of the kittens. Of course, we can also post a notice saying that if there are cats we like, we can redeem them... ahem, adopt them."
It almost turned in the direction of a brothel. Of course, if these cats could turn into humans, then that would be a real brothel.
"Besides, Xia Yin has always admired my sister, so it would be a good opportunity to introduce you to her."
"Yeah?"
Airi tilted her head in confusion at Nagisa's proud words, the former nodded vigorously, and Setsuna beside her also spoke up.
"I have heard rumors about her. After all, she is quite pretty and eye-catching, and is admired by her female classmates. I heard that boys in Ye Ze's class will be fined if they take the initiative to talk to her."
"There is such a thing... This is the first time I've heard of it."
Hearing this, Airi couldn't help but sigh, and Nagisa added with a smile.
"By the way, those also apply to Setsuka, right? The boys in our class have set standards for how close they should be to Setsuka, namely three seconds, five seconds, eight seconds, and twenty-four seconds. If you talk to her for longer than the specified time, you'll be severely punished."
"It seems like the junior high school department is really idle..."
Hearing this, Ai Li rolled her eyes helplessly, thinking back to when she was in junior high school and preparing for the high school entrance exam, she spent the entire third year of junior high school preparing for the exam. Who the hell would care about such a thing? Sure enough, this person can't eat too much, and can't have too few questions, otherwise you can see what a mess it is.
"Ah, right there, hey, Xia Yin——!!"
As they were talking, Nagisa seemed to have spotted the person they were looking for, and hurriedly shouted hello with a smile. Airi also looked in the direction Nagisa was calling. She saw a girl with a gentle smile, short silver-white hair and blue eyes, who looked elegant and noble. She was petite and of the same height as Nagisa and Setsuna, and seemed quite tall.
However, the moment Ellie saw her, she instinctively took half a step back.
"senior?"
Noticing something was wrong with Ai Li, Xue Cai looked at her in confusion, while Ai Li shook her head.
"No, nothing..."
As she spoke, Ai Li looked at the girl in front of her and couldn't help wiping the cold sweat off her forehead.
The reason was simple: this girl looked exactly like Anna Jin Zhigong, whom Fang Zheng had met in the healthy world before - no, she was just relatively younger, but other than that, her elegant temperament in every gesture and her gentle smile were exactly the same!
If you say they are sisters, she would believe it!
Could it be that he also has the same perverted habit hidden inside?
Looking at Xia Yin walking towards her with a smile on her face, Ai Li was silent for a moment.
No, that shouldn't be the case. After all, that world only existed because of perversion, and this world doesn't have any sound rules, so there shouldn't be another pervert.
At this moment, Nagisa had already run up, holding her hand and jogging over, introducing her to Airi with a smile.
"Sister, let me introduce you. This is my good friend Natsune Yease. We were in the same class last year."
"Ah, hello, it's our first meeting. Thank you for your guidance..."
At this moment, the girl named Yeze Natsune also hurried forward and bowed her head respectfully. Well... at least from the outside, she was just a humble and polite junior. Of course, what caught Ai Li's attention was that although they were on a tropical island, Natsune was wearing long sleeves under her uniform... it was a bit strange.
"Hello, Natsune, I'm Airi, Nagisa's older sister."
At this moment, Ai Li put her thoughts aside and introduced herself with a smile.
"Nagisa, I'm sorry that you've been taking care of me so much."
"No, no, I have always been taken care of by Nagisa..."
Natsune waved her hands hurriedly, but Nagisa couldn't wait to hold Natsune's hand and told her everything in her lark-like voice.
"Hey? Onee-sama, are you willing to take care of those cats? On the newly built artificial island?"
After listening to Nagisa's introduction, Natsune was obviously surprised, while Airi nodded.
"Well, this is my plan. After all, I have already discussed with the artificial island management company and decided to use a portion of the land as a public area... It would be perfect to build a cat cafe in the park. Not only can we take care of these cats, but we can also find suitable owners for them."
"But won't this be too much trouble for you?"
Although Ai Li said so, Xia Yin was still somewhat uneasy. This was also normal. She was not a child. It would cost a lot of money to build a coffee shop, and if it was to be a cat coffee shop, it would definitely cost a lot of money, which she would never be able to raise...
"It's okay. You can rest assured about that. I have so much money that I can't spend it all anyway."
“Haha…”
Faced with this sentence, Xia Yin had no idea what to do next.
But Ai Li didn't care. She just smiled slightly and looked at Xia Yin.
"Well, let's go check on the cats you take care of."
