The large, circular lake and the circular dome resemble the Earth split in two.
In the middle of the vast lake stands a colossal tree, as tall as a canopy reaching the sky.
The trunk is wide enough for twenty Skoda cars to drive side by side, and the thick, powerful branches connected to the trunk are also wide enough for several cars to pass through.
The small branches that fork off from the main branch are so thin that a car can drive on them, and then they fork again until they are finally big enough for a person to hug.
These branches intertwine, their leaves layered upon each other, undulating and surging, almost completely obscuring the circular lake.
Countless plants grow on the trunk, and long vines hang densely down to the lake. At first glance, it doesn't look like a giant tree, but rather like an ecological park or a small forest.
Li Changzhou, Li Qianxia, and Yang Qinglan stood atop the main trunk, surrounded by countless branches that resembled a bird's nest, yet the area was large enough to build a large villa.
This bird's nest-like place is also overgrown with flowers and wild grass.
Moonlight and starlight filtered through the trees and fell on the birds' nests. A breeze blew from who-knows-where, making it seem like a field or meadow.
"...Brother, is this...your world?" Li Qianxia stared blankly at everything before her.
“This is our world.” Li Changzhou felt relaxed and happy.
Starting with the value game—no, starting after my parents left—the emotions that had been suppressed in my heart were swept away at this moment.
He felt as if all his repression had been lifted, leaving him feeling completely refreshed and exhilarated.
The dandelion, which had been drifting in the wind, finally took root in the ground.
"From now on, this will be our home!" he exclaimed, unable to contain his emotions.
“Our home…” Li Qianxia chewed on the word.
Gradually, she felt her whole body heat up. This fact seeped into her heart like a warm south wind or a warm spring. Her heart was filled with true, thorough, and supreme joy.
She couldn't help but cheer, raising her arms and shouting.
She transformed into a snowy owl, swooped into the treetops, and circled on every thick branch, her wings caressing every leaf.
As she wandered through the woods, her mind grew increasingly peaceful, and her joy became more and more apparent.
Breaking out of the "sea of leaves," she swooped down with a long cry, soaring over the great lake.
One after another, large fish leaped out of the lake water that reflected the starry sky, jumping up and down as if being chased by her.
On the trunk of the big tree, Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan looked at Li Qianxia's excited figure, exchanged a glance, and smiled at the same time.
If they could fly, they would definitely join in.
Yang Qinglan bent down, stroked the "grass" with her palm, and couldn't help but say, "Changzhou, look."
Li Changzhou also squatted down.
Under the dim moonlight, no soil could be seen on the tree trunks; these grasses and flowers had grown from the tree trunks as their soil.
"Perhaps we can grow vegetables and fruits without soil or fertilizer," Yang Qinglan said with some excitement.
“We’ll stay here!” Li Changzhou laughed. “Those forked branches are the farmland. Look at that one, the thickest one, we’ll use it all to grow potatoes; that one, we’ll use it to grow eggplants, tomatoes, and cucumbers; that one, we’ll use it to grow corn; that one, we’ll use it to grow chili peppers, garlic, scallions, and ginger; and we’ll also leave some trunks to grow fruit.”
Looking at his spirited profile and listening to his plans, Yang Qinglan felt a surge of affection in her heart.
She couldn't help but tease him: "Are you planning to raise pigs too?"
“I’ll read ‘Postpartum Care of Sows’ as soon as I get back to school!” Li Changzhou turned his gaze back to her.
The two looked at each other and laughed again.
They strolled along the tree trunks as if walking through a garden, or a maze.
The leaves overhead were dense, yet they left just the right opening for the starlight.
"I'll catch some fireflies later." Li Changzhou broke off a foxtail grass and held it in his hand.
"Then we need to be careful in selecting them, so we don't bring in any players," Yang Qinglan said with a smile.
Li Qianxia rushed down beside them, threw herself onto Li Changzhou's back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and shouted in his ear:
"elder brother!"
Li Changzhou threw away the foxtail grass, carried his sister on his back, and laughed heartily.
Li Qianxia was also laughing happily on his back.
It wasn't until they had walked through every single branch of the giant tree that the three of them finally calmed down.
"I want to move in right away!" Li Qianxia exclaimed excitedly.
They sat on a branch of a tree near the lake, about eleven or twelve centimeters thick, one of the thinnest branches on the giant tree.
Beneath their feet lay the starlit lake water, and the light from the hidden lanterns enveloped them like the warmest blanket.
"The house isn't even built yet," Yang Qinglan teased.
"I don't care!" Li Qianxia insisted on living in the unfinished house, just like a child.
“Didn’t we buy a batch of steel to build the base? This will come in handy,” Li Changzhou said.
"I think the wooden house is nice." Yang Qinglan swung her slender legs, her voice soft and melodious, like a nightingale dancing.
“Exactly!” Li Qianxia agreed. “Brother, do you even know anything about romance? Using steel in a big tree? You might as well just buy a shipping container and live there.”
“Okay,” Li Changzhou said with a smile.
"Qinglan, push him down!"
Yang Qinglan's eyes turned blue.
"No, no, no! I was wrong, ladies!" Li Changzhou quickly surrendered.
The three chatted for a while longer about the layout and construction of their home.
"Oh right, I still have a little over three thousand points left." Li Changzhou took out a white identity card. "Qinglan, you can take it."
They had planned from the beginning that if there were any extra points after buying the Honey Pot World, they would use them for Yang Qinglan to purchase attributes.
