Lin Hu quickly purchased the items in his shopping cart with a single click and then returned to the raft.
After upgrading to a level four island, Lin Hu could remotely control the harvesting of crops and livestock through the system interface, so he stopped staying on the island.
The moment he returned, Lin Hu first harvested the crops on the interface and put them into the warehouse. He didn't care about the animals. The four mountains that he had just unlocked were still empty, so he wasn't worried that they would suddenly overflow and fill the island.
Seeing that the pigeons had multiplied to nearly a hundred, Lin Hu casually picked out two, planning to make soup with them tomorrow.
Putting these trivial matters aside, she excitedly ran out to share another joy with Duan Linzhou.
"Brother Duan, come here." Lin Hu jogged over, pulled the man up, and ran towards the land behind the house.
Lin Hu controlled a cherry tree on the system interface and planted it next to the large, perfect piece of land. He also controlled two pomegranate and orange trees to be planted next to it.
Because 1097 had moved the seeds into Lin Hu's backpack beforehand, Duan Linzhou could clearly see the entire process of Lin Hu planting the seeds on the other party's game system.
This was the first time Duan Linzhou had ever seen a plant grown directly from a seed. In his knowledge and experience, all plants started by sprouting from seeds.
Lin Hu planted the wheat seeds, knowing they would mature in 24 hours, so he didn't take out the dough mixer from his backpack; it was a bit cramped for his raft now. He planned to store it in the warehouse first, saving more wheat to grow before eating it.
Although there is only one seed, considering the large peaches that the mutated peach tree produces, this wheat shouldn't be too bad.
Lin Hu opened the introduction to the cherry seeds for Duan Linzhou to see.
"Look, these are good things, and this too, and this too." Lin Hu said, pointing out the descriptions of pomegranates and oranges to Duan Linzhou.
"And they only take six hours to mature." Lin Hu was still excitedly telling Duan Linzhou, but he didn't get a response for a long time. So when he turned to look at Duan Linzhou, he met a pair of eyes full of inquiry and shock.
Lin Hu's excitement subsided immediately, and he felt a little guilty for no reason, even though he hadn't done anything.
"Wh...what's wrong, Brother Duan?" Lin Hu turned to face Duan Linzhou, who was more than half a head taller than him.
Perhaps because the two were standing too close, Lin Hu felt a sense of pressure for no reason.
“You’re hiding a lot from me,” Duan Linzhou said.
Yes, he knew the other person was hiding many things from him, and he also knew the question was absurd.
The two were not related, and the other party had only taken him in out of kindness. He had no right to ask these questions, but he still couldn't help but ask them.
If Lin Hu possessed so many highly offensive "weapons," he couldn't have been completely unknown in his previous life. Yet, Duan Linzhou had never heard of Lin Hu in his past life.
If he could do it all over again, many things would be different. His parents would still be alive, and Liu Xu, who was supposed to appear three years later, would become his friend earlier. But the most different thing would be Lin Hu, because all the changes would come about because of him.
"I was actually reborn."
This was the excuse Lin Hu had initially come up with, because of 1097. He couldn't say he was from out of town, otherwise he might be erased by the system of this world, or sent back.
He was unwilling to accept either of them; being sent back meant facing a terminally ill body and stifling interpersonal relationships.
So he came up with a reason for his rebirth. Since 1097 was there, he could lie and say that he had had the experience before, and he made preparations in advance.
He looked up and saw a fleeting look of surprise in Duan Linzhou's eyes.
"Rebirth?"
"Yes, I was a coward in my past life. I only survived for less than half a year because I relied on others for protection." Lin Hu said, then quickly thought of his regrets and sorrows, and immediately became sad.
Duan Linzhou frowned slightly as he looked at him, and his tone softened a bit.
"How did he die?" Duan Linzhou asked.
"After discovering that an island could be contracted, our team wanted to compete for it. But during the struggle, I was pulled in front of my teammate to take a hit and died. Maybe because my ability isn't an offensive one, they didn't want to protect me anymore." Lin Hu said, lowering his eyelashes and revealing an expression that said, "I understand, and I don't blame him."
"Then what's going on with all of this?" Duan Linzhou asked again, his tone now gentle.
Seeing that the other party believed him, Lin Hu immediately regained some of his excitement.
"After I was reborn, I was so happy that I flew into the sky and found a floating island. The island immediately prompted me to make a contract with it. These things are all rewards I got after upgrading the island."
After Lin Hu finished speaking without batting an eye, he glanced at the other person. Duan Linzhou was also looking at him, but he couldn't discern anything from Lin Hu's eyes.
But he had never heard of floating islands in his previous life. Was it because no one had ever gone up into the sky that they hadn't discovered them?
I've never heard of any island that rewards attack "weapons" upon upgrade. Are islands in the sky different from those on land?
It's definitely different; the island has gone up into the sky.
"Moreover, the water in this hot spring pool is taken from that floating island. After soaking for so long, I feel that my superpowers have improved. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a spiritual spring. It's just a pity that my superpowers aren't strong enough to take you up there right now, otherwise you would be very surprised when you see it." Lin Hu then pulled the other person and pointed to the spiritual spring water next to him.
Duan Linzhou paused for a moment before asking Lin Hu:
"Why are you telling me this?"
Duan Linzhou felt that although he asked first, the other party could have easily lied and said it was a reward for opening a treasure chest or a serendipitous quest.
Even if the other party continued to lie to him, he wouldn't ask any further. But he didn't expect Lin Hu to tell him the truth directly.
