《Everyone Gets an Island: My Islands Are Invincible》 Chapter 1 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Attention, all citizens over the age of 18!¡± ¡°The island world is about to open.¡± ¡°Please check your belongings. The weight must not exceed 50 kg.¡± Peter stood in front of the portal and listened to the voice on the radio. Behind him was a small cart filled with various daily items. It was carefully screened and weighed 50KG. Peter was not originally from this world. He had accidentally traveled here. A few years ago, an alien civilization had appeared in this parallel world. All humans over the age of 18 may enter a world occupied by the sea through a special portal. In it, there were countless islands. Humans called that world the ¡°Island World¡±. The island world was filled with life energy and all sorts of wealth. However, humans could not directly absorb life energy. They could only absorb life energy through various plants. After the plants absorb life energy, the fruits that they produced would have different effects on humans. The fruits that most plants produced could delay aging and increase their essence. Of course, there were also some fruits produced by special plants that could strengthen the human body or give humans special abilities. Because of the generous rewards, the island world ruins only allowed humans to enter once after the age of 18. After that, they would not be able to enter the Island World again. Therefore, after reaching the age of 18, every citizen would be able to enter the island world and have a chance to own an island. This one chance was extremely precious! After entering the island world for the first time, everyone would have a month¡¯s protection period. During the protection period, everyone needed to develop their own island as soon as possible, for after the protection period, there would be ferocious sea monsters attacking the island, or even destruction between fellow humans. As long as they could successfully defend the island and become the real owner of the island, the fate of life would be completely changed. Not only could they enjoy longevity, but they would also have amazing wealth and even great power. This was the goal of every human being. Peter just turned 18 today. He carefully prepared items that weighed no more than 50 kg. These included food, various tools and self-defense weapons, as well as the most important plant seeds. At this moment, a girl¡¯s voice sounded from behind Peter. ¡°Peter, aren¡¯t you considering my father¡¯s conditions?¡± Peter turned to look at the girl. She had the looks and figure that girls of the same age envied. It was just that the girl always put on a high and mighty posture. ¡°Thank your father for me. I don¡¯t need help.¡± Peter opened his mouth to reject the girl. The girl¡¯s name was Kelly. She was the daughter of a wealthy family from a financial group. She was also Peter¡¯s classmate. Previously, Kelly¡¯s father valued Peter¡¯s potential and wanted to sign a cooperation agreement with him. As long as Peter brought out the fruits from the island world, he would sell them to Kelly¡¯s father first. Her father was willing to compensate Peter with the shares of the consortium. If it was an ordinary person, they would be very willing, because after a month of protection, most people who entered the island would be eliminated. Only those with incredible talent and opportunity, or those with the support of the consortium, would have a chance to become the real owner of the island, and receive a great deal of reward. As for Peter, he refused Callie¡¯s father¡¯s help. There¡¯s no other reason. Because after Peter crossed over, he acquired a god-class Island System. He doesn¡¯t need any outside help at all. With the system, Peter can outdo everyone in the island world. Then the radio rang again. ¡°Attention all citizens who have reached the age of 18.¡± ¡°The island world has opened.¡± ¡°Please enter the portal in order.¡± ¡°I wish you all the best in the island world.¡± A white light flashed. Peter appeared on an island surrounded by endless seawater. Looking into the distance, he could only see the dividing line between the blue sky and the sea. This was the world of the sea. Ferocious sea monsters lurked in the depths of the sea. Once the protection period was over, they would surface and attack the islands. The fruits of a month¡¯s worth of preparation would be mercilessly destroyed in an instant. As Peter entered the island world, the system¡¯s voice followed closely behind. ¡°Host has entered the island world. The god-tier Island system has been activated.¡± ¡°Congratulations, host, for obtaining a novice gift pack.¡± Peter did not hesitate and immediately chose to open the novice gift pack. ¡°Congratulations, host, for obtaining the seed of the Tree of life.¡± The seed of the Tree of Life! The moment the reward appeared, Peter was indeed pleasantly surprised. Peter looked at the seed of the Tree of life that appeared before him. It was the size of a football, and its solid outer shell protected the tender shoots within. He was most surprised by the intense life energy that the seed of the tree of life emitted. If this were to be brought to the outside world, it would definitely attract the attention of various forces. Of course, Peter would not be stupid enough to bring the seed of the Tree of life out, and would instead choose to plant it somewhere instead. The islands were all randomly distributed. Each island was about the same size, and there were islands of all shapes and sizes. For example, Peter¡¯s Island was a typical oval shape. It was about 20 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide. However, the island¡¯s topography was very complete. The so-called island was not big, but it included a lot of landforms. In the center of the island was a freshwater lake, covering about one square kilometer. In addition, there was very flat land, and there were undulating mountains. Not far from Peter, there was a portal-like device. The device was glowing, and there was some information on it. Island number: 8146017. Island owner: Peter. Island level: 1. It was the simplest information, and as Peter developed the island, the level would increase. In addition to the simple information, there was also something similar to a mobile phone on the island. Peter reached out and took it down. He held it in his hand and looked at it. The method to activate it was very simple ¡ª- touching the screen. A chat bar appeared on the screen. This was the only way to contact other humans after entering the island world. Peter did not study the idea of the chat room for the time being. Instead, he looked at the landscape of the island. He was looking for the best location to plant the seed of the Tree of life. After a few minutes, Peter arrived at the small lake on the island. Peter planted the seed of the tree of life right next to the freshwater lake. This way, there was a water supply, and this was the center of the entire island. When the sea monsters would attack the island after a month of protection, the location at which the tree of life was planted would also delay the attack to the greatest extent. So, Peter took out all kinds of tools from the cart and dug a small hole beside the lake. He put the tree of life seed into the hole and filled it with soil. He stepped on it with his feet. After planting the tree of life, the information about the tree of life seed on the system interface changed. Peter immediately opened it to check. Chapter 2 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After Peter planted the seed of the tree of life, he looked at the system interface. [ tree of life, Level 0/100, growth value 100 days. ] [ host has received a minimum growth rate of 10 times. ] He looked at the detailed information of the Tree of life. Peter immediately understood that it would take 100 days for the tree of life to fully grow into a towering tree. Only after reaching level 0 could one reach level 100. In other words, according to the rules of the island world, ordinary humans that entered the island world would have to endure for an additional 70 days after the 30-day protection period before they could harvest the fruits of the tree of life. This difficulty caused many players that entered the island world to return empty-handed. Unless, the humans that entered the island world possessed extremely high talent and could rely on their own strength to repel the sea monsters¡¯ attacks time and time again. Or, they had the support of a financial group behind them to obtain the opportunity to modify their own abilities. These were the two methods that this world recognized. Additionally, since thermal weapons can destroy life energy in the island world, they¡¯re prohibited. Therefore, when the humans passed through the teleportation gate, the thermal weapons were directly blocked. However, there were still some very special groups of people: for example, the humans with superpowers. They might have superpowers that surpassed normal people¡¯s hearing, allowing them to detect the appearance of sea monsters in advance. Or, they might have superpowers of memory, allowing them to grasp a large amount of survival knowledge. These humans had a high chance of surviving until the tree of life bore fruit. However, Peter had a system that allowed him to surpass other humans in a very short period of time. When he saw that the tree of life had a 100-day growth cycle, Peter immediately used the 10-fold growth increase that the system rewarded him with. This reduced the 100-day growth cycle to 10 days. With the 10-fold growth increase, Peter saw that where the seed of life had just been planted, a bud broke through the soil and grew out. The speed was indeed much faster. Then, the bud of the Tree of life changed even more. It began to grow rapidly, just like a documentary that chronicled the process of plant growth being played at an accelerated pace. The seed, which had taken a long time to germinate, grew to a height of nearly one meter in just a few minutes. This was not the end. The tree of life was still growing crazily. This scene indeed surprised Peter. It did not take 100 days at all. It only took about 10 days for the tree of life to fully grow. However, Peter was most intrigued by his observation that it grew to a height of nearly one meter in just a few minutes. In that case, when the tree of life grew to its maximum height, it would be amazing! Peter was looking forward to it. Seeing that the tree of life was growing, he planned to do something else first. Peter went to the low-lying area of the island, the weakest area of the island¡¯s defense. Once the protection period was over, the sea monsters in the sea would rush out of the sea and attack the island. They would first land in the low-lying area of the island. So, Peter planned to set up a barrier here, similar to the one used by the Old World to defend the beach. He was still not sure what the sea monsters in the sea looked like, nor did he know the methods the sea monsters would use. However, based on the memories of his previous life, Peter had seen a lot of movies and TV shows about the sea monsters attacking the coast. What impressed him the most was an epic movie, titled Pirates of the Caribbean. In the movie, there was a giant squid sea monster that was hundreds of meters long. Captain Jack¡¯s pirate ship, the Black Pearl, had been attacked by a giant squid. The terrifying tentacles of the giant squid could directly cut a pirate ship in half. Peter had a very deep memory of this scene. If there were sea monsters in this sea world, he certainly hoped that they weren¡¯t at the level of giant squid. In that case, the island was like an inescapable dining table in front of the giant squid. The creatures and plants on the island were like cooked food, waiting for the giant sea monster to taste it. If he wanted the island to be safe from the sea monsters, Peter had to prepare in advance. So, along the low-lying area of the island, he used the tools he brought with him to divide the areas where he was going to build fortifications. After a period of busyness, the long and narrow coastline was organized into three defense areas. These three areas in turn extended from the coastline to the rear. Each defense area would be used in the near future to build buildings to defend the island, to slow down the sea monsters¡¯ attacks. After doing all this, Peter went to the planting area near the small lake. Then, he also divided the different areas in turn. This way, each plant could be divided according to its kind, and it was also beneficial for the management of daily life. This time, Peter entered the island world with a large number of plant seeds. Because of the limitation of the island world, a person could only carry no more than 50 kg of items. This led many to carefully calculate the number and types of items they could carry to maximize their carriage without exceeding the limit: Peter was no exception. He opened his suitcase and began to organize the items he carried. There were about 15 kg of compressed food, mainly energy bars with various nutrients mixed together. There were also 15 kg of various tools and weapons for self-defense, because he could not bring thermal weapons into the island world. This led to many humans bringing cold weapons into the island world, and even some carrying heavy crossbow bolts. The weapon Peter carried was a dual-purpose engineer shovel. It could also be used as a tool to defend against danger. The remaining 20 kg carried plant seeds that could absorb life energy. Unlike the human world¡¯s seeds, these seeds were optimized and improved, since the ordinary seeds could not reach the level of absorbing life energy. The modified plant seeds were also divided into five levels. The higher the level, the faster the efficiency of absorbing life energy ¡ª- of course, rarer as well. High-level seeds, after absorbing life energy, produced very precious fruits. After ordinary humans ate them, not only could they increase their vitality, but they could also strengthen their physique and remove the effects of all diseases. In the human world, the classification of seeds started from the lowest grade, E grade. The easiest seed to buy was D grade. As for C grade seeds, it was already very difficult to buy them on the market. Higher Grade B grade seeds were only in the hands of the various large financial groups. As for grade seeds, they were basically not for sale anywhere since they were too difficult to improve and didn¡¯t provide particularly good marketability. Before the system was activated, because Peter did not know about the existence of the system, he carefully bought a lot of seeds. As for the grade, it was not very high. Most of them were grade E seeds, and a small portion of them were grade D seeds. As for the more expensive grade C seeds, Peter did not have the ability to buy them. Chapter 3 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Peter took his belongings out and sorted them so that they could be found immediately. He then placed the water purification device he had brought in next to the small lake to purify drinking water. He filled a basin of lake water from the small lake, poured it into the water purifier, and began to purify. Peter then took some of each of the seeds he had brought in, which he planned to plant the soil around the small lake first. Priority goes to class D seeds. He didn¡¯t bring that many class D seeds, but the variety was quite complete. Peter found a previously divided area and took out the class D sunflower seeds from the seeds. The advantage of the sunflower was that it grew quickly, but it also came with a disadvantage ¡ª- it¡¯s not efficient in absorbing life energy. But this is a necessary tradeoff, because for the 30-day protection period, the priority must be to bring in the seeds with a short growth cycle. Other people, without the system, would follow the conventional method of planting, and they would be able to harvest the first batch of fruits in about 20 days. Then, after selling the fruits, they would be able to exchange them for large amounts of money. They could hire various workers from the outside to come in and build fortifications. If they had enough money, they could even hire an army to come in and help resist the sea monsters. As time passed, Peter planted a large number of sunflowers beside the small lake. Then, he began to take out the Class D mango seeds. After modification, the fruit not only had a texture that ordinary mangoes could not compare to, but its growth cycle was also much shorter. These improvements were all prepared so that he could quickly harvest the fruits before the protection period ended. After planting the two batches of seeds, Peter turned around and looked at the tree of life that was still growing. It grows so fast! In just a short while, the tree of life had grown to more than 20 meters tall. Without the 10 times growth rate rewarded by the system, it was impossible to harvest the fruits before the end of the protection period. At this time, the water in the small lake was almost purified. Looking at the amount of purified water, Peter knew there was enough drinking water for today. Then, Peter took out a simple solar heating device and poured the purified water into it. Using the energy of the Sun, the water was quickly boiled. Peter made a cup of coffee for himself and sat on the folding chair he brought in, looking at the calm lake and the constantly growing tree of life. It was so comfortable! After enjoying the beautiful scenery of the island, he drank the last mouthful of coffee. Peter ate another compressed energy bar. After that, he worked all afternoon and planted all kinds of seeds in the soil around the small lake. There were Class D onions, Class D orchids, Class D roses, Class D pineapples and Class D corn, but he did not plant any Class E seeds. Peter considered that the first reason was that the growth cycle of the class E seeds was too long. The second reason was that after entering the activation system of the island world, he would obtain the seeds of the old tree of life. Currently, there was not much demand for class E plants. This was because Peter relied on the system to change the situation where the original quantity made up for the lack of quality. Today, he could lead everyone just by relying on the tree of life. There is no need to plant Class E seeds that absorb little life energy. As for the planted Class D seeds, the latest to bear fruit is Class D corn, requiring 28 days to bear fruit. The best for absorbing life energy are still fruits and flowers, as some very special seeds absorb life energy very efficiently, but are not very easy to find. After today¡¯s planting work was completed, Peter opened the system interface. [ host ] : Peter. [ island level ] : Level 1(daily plant growth will help the island level up.) [ island plants ] : Tree of life (growth cycle 10 days) , Sunflower (20 days) , Mango (18 days) , onion (21 days) , Orchid (24 days) , Rose (11 days) , pineapple (18 days). Different plants have different growth cycles. However, as long as the plants are growing healthily, they can provide the island with the energy needed to upgrade. Even when these plants bear fruit, they absorb the life energy of the island world, which is more helpful for the island¡¯s upgrade. After turning off the system interface, Peter noticed that the sky was getting dark. He took out his dinner from his bag ¡ª- another energy bar. He opened the chat device in the island world and found that there were a few requests to add friends and invitations to chat groups. They¡¯ve got a lot of features! After that, Peter clicked on all the requests and entered a chat group. It showed that there were hundreds of people online. ¡°Oh my God! Peter, you finally agreed to join the group. What are you busy with? I invited you but you didn¡¯t reply for a long time.¡± Peter saw that it was his classmate group. There were many familiar names in the group. The first person who greeted him was a guy called Hawk. ¡°The handsome guy in our class, Peter, finally came in. Welcome!¡± Just when Peter was about to reply, he suddenly saw a message from a familiar name. ¡°So Peter is fine. I thought he had disappeared after entering the island world!¡± Peter looked at the student named Kelly and ignored her sarcasm. As for the reason, it was because he didn¡¯t agree to Kelly¡¯s father¡¯s request. Peter really didn¡¯t bother to argue about such things, because he knew that no matter in any world, in front of powerful strength, all tricks were just a joke. After replying with a thank you to his classmates for their concern, Peter no longer followed the group message. Instead, he focused his attention on the forum. Unlike the chat group, the forum was filled with some very useful posts, covering sites like how to protect the island after the safety period ended, and how to plant a large number of plants at the same time, and how to manage them effectively. This was the most urgent knowledge for newcomers to the island world. Of course, there were also posts on the forum showing off their wealth. At this moment, Peter saw a post showing off by a rich second generation. On the day this rich second generation entered the island world, he spent a lot of money to hire a large number of labor to help him plant. He even hired many sexy girls to come in and serve him. It was truly a life of luxury! After all, spending a huge amount of money to hire labor to enter the island world was also a risky thing. This was because, other than entering one¡¯s own island world that would not reduce one¡¯s vitality, entering someone else¡¯s island world would lose 10 days of vitality. It did not seem like much, but after the number of entries increased, the loss of vitality would accumulate fast. Therefore, hiring people from the outside world to enter the island world would cost a lot of money. If it was not a real financial group, they simply could not afford it. Peter disdained to pay attention to such posts about flaunting his wealth. Chapter 4 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Peter checked a few useful posts and backed out. At this time, night fell on the Island World. Peter was quite satisfied with the progress of the first day. Not only did he plant the tree of life that only Peter had, he also planted other seeds. As long as nothing unexpected happened and went according to plan, the fruit of life, whether in quality or quantity, would be the top in the Island World. Peter lit up the lighting charged by the sun during the day. Then, he lit a bonfire next to the tent built earlier. The night in the island world was still a little cold. With the help of the heat from the bonfire, Peter could sleep very comfortably tonight. The first day of the island world passed just like that. The next morning. When Peter woke up, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. After a night of growth, the tree of life reached a height of nearly 100 meters. The growth rate was too astonishing. If one was not very far from the island, one could see a towering tree erected on Peter Island. This was almost equivalent to a landmark building in the outside world. Peter quickly climbed out of the tent and ran to the tree of life. At this time, the trunk of the Tree of life was more than 10 meters in diameter. It required 10 adults to hold hands and hug the thick trunk. If there was a big hole in the trunk of the Tree of life, it would be enough to house an army squad. Of course, Peter would definitely not make a hole in the trunk of the Tree of life. Then, he looked up and saw the lush branches covered with leaves that contained the breath of life. Each leaf was shining with a rainbow-colored light under the sunlight. A huge shade was formed under the tree of life. Standing under the shade, the air that came from the tree actually carried a fragrance. Peter could not wait to open the system interface and check the interface of the tree of life. [ tree of life ] [ level ] : 3/100. [ life energy ] : 300/day. (life energy can be used to breed and upgrade creatures. 300 life energy can breed a creature.) There was an additional life energy display on the tree of Life¡¯s interface. This indicated that the tree of life could really nurture life. As for what kind of creature it could nurture, everything was random. Peter closed the interface of the tree of life. He was puzzled. ¡°300 life energy can nurture one creature?¡± Peter planned to give it a try. There was exactly 300 life energy at the moment. If he could give birth to a powerful creature, then after the protection period, he would be able to resist the sea monster¡¯s attacks. He might even be able to kill the sea monster. Thinking of this, Peter no longer hesitated. He directed 300 lifeforce through the system interface. The breeding began. At this moment, Peter raised his head and looked at the 100-meter-tall tree of life. A Ball of light containing lifeforce appeared on the tree branch. Peter looked at the ball of light that contained the power of life with excitement and slowly descended. What kind of creature could it be? Along with the ball of light that contained the aura of life, it landed steadily on his palm. Peter carefully used his hand to hold the ball of light. When the light slowly dissipated, a mermaid that was only half the size of a palm appeared in front of Peter. What was this? A mermaid? [ mermaid, Level 1. When placed in the ocean, it will grow on its own. ] When Peter saw the system notification, he was shocked. It really was a mermaid. However, the system had given him too little information. He did not know what use the mermaid born from the tree of life had. It was also possible that the mermaid had just been born and its level was too low, so many abilities could not be used yet. Peter could only comfort himself with this. At the same time, he held the little mermaid in his hands and walked to the edge of the island. The system prompted the mermaid to be thrown into the sea and let it grow on its own. After more than ten minutes, Peter came to the low-lying area of the island, with soft sand, feeling like a quilt, on the beach. He first put the little mermaid on the beach. After observing for a while, Peter chose a safer place. Then he dug a small hole with his hand and ran into the sea to fill the sand hole with seawater. After doing all this, Peter put the little mermaid into the sand hole filled with seawater. The Little Mermaid, who was originally lifeless, changed immediately when she met the sea water. The Little Mermaid began to twist her pink tail, and her human-like upper body also began to stretch. Pop! The Little Mermaid also discovered Peter¡¯s existence. Her petite head emerged from the water and made a tender sound at him. This little guy was really cute! Peter could not help but use his finger to gently touch the Little Mermaid¡¯s head. This move further enhanced their intimacy. The little mermaid kept rubbing her head against Peter¡¯s finger. Peter felt a numbing sensation on his fingertips. At this moment, Peter remembered what the Little Mermaid was eating. Looking at its petite body, he could not feed it the energy bar that he had brought with him. Fortunately, the system notification appeared at this moment. [ Congratulations, host, the mermaid has been successfully released. You can use life energy to accelerate the growth of the mermaid. ] So that¡¯s how it is! Peter opened the interface of the tree of life to check. At this moment, the life energy produced by the Tree of life was only 20 points. This was because he had consumed 300 life energy just now in order to breed creatures. He only had 20 life energy. He did not know if the life energy needed for the little mermaid to grow was enough. Peter decided to give it a try first. Then he used the system interface to give all 20 life energy points to the mermaid. After doing this, Peter waited beside the mermaid. At this moment, a ball of light containing life energy flew out of the Tree of life. The ball of light flew quickly towards the sand pit. The mermaid in the sand pit seemed to feel something. She tried hard to stick her head out of the water and opened her small mouth, like a baby waiting to be fed. A moment later, the light ball containing life energy flew into the mermaid¡¯s mouth. When the mermaid swallowed the light ball, her pink body became transparent. This was the mermaid absorbing life energy. When Peter saw this, the worry in his heart was solved. At least, he didn¡¯t have to worry about the mermaid¡¯s food, as he still had a lot of things to do next. Seeing that the little guy was absorbing life energy, Peter reluctantly left the mermaid for the time being. He went to the small lake and looked at the seeds planted yesterday. Except for the corn seeds that grew the slowest, the other seeds grew very well. What made Peter most happy was that the rose seeds planted yesterday not only grew the best, but also mutated. That was because when Peter approached the Rose Bud, a notification screen appeared in the system. [ a mutated rose has been discovered. The seed level has increased by one level. ] Chapter 5 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After Peter received the system notification, he immediately opened the notification. He discovered that the Class D rose he planted yesterday had mutated. According to the system notification, the Class D rose had mutated into a Class C rose. This change lit Peter¡¯s eyes up as he pondered a possibility. The area where the rose was planted was the closest to the tree of life. If the mutation of the Class D rose was due to the tree of life, then would the other Class D seeds also mutate if they¡¯re close to the tree of life? To test his guess, Peter walked under the thick trunk of the tree of life. When Peter planted the seed of the tree of life, he remembered that there were no plants around, not even a weed. But now, there were many small plants growing around the trunk of the Tree of life. Although Peter couldn¡¯t name the plants, nor did he know what they were for, he knew one thing very well: the tree of life could not only give birth to life energy, but also change the environment around it, even if only the tree of life was given time to grow. Sooner or later, the tree of Life¡¯s influence would cover the entire island. It could even cover a large area of the ocean beyond the island. One had to know that apart from planting plants on land, plants like seaweed could also be cultivated in the ocean. It was even possible to have plants that the outside world had never seen before. This discovery made Peter very excited. If he had prioritized planting Class E seeds yesterday, he was afraid that he would regret it today after discovering that the tree of life could raise the level of plants. Peter was afraid that he would regret it to death. Fortunately, he had unintentionally done it yesterday, but today he had received such a big surprise. In that case, Peter had to make a new planting plan. He planned to expand the planting area with the tree of life as the center. The plants around the small lake need not be replanned. According to Peter¡¯s calculation, in another 2-3 days, the area affected by the tree of life would cover all the plants planted yesterday. In this way, the special ability of the tree of life could be maximized without any major changes. Just do it! Next, Peter recreated a planting area along the tree of life, different from the planting area around the small lake. Now, with the Tree of life as the center, there were circles of planting areas. This was more convenient for Peter¡¯s daily maintenance and management. Moreover, he specially planned out an additional picking area between each circle of planting areas. After the first batch of fruits matured, Peter could use the money from selling the fruits to hire people from the outside world. Of course, Peter needs enough self-defense capacity. People hired from the outside world killing the island owner and looting their treasure was not unheard of. This kind of situation couldn¡¯t be completely eliminated. Where there was profit, there would always be bloodshed and violence. It was not until the afternoon that Peter finally divided a new planting area. If one looked down from the sky above the island, the circular planting area with the tree of life as the center would extend all the way to the boundary of the island. When the circular area was filled with all kinds of plants and bloomed and bore fruit, the entire island would be full of vitality under the protection of the Tree of life. At that time, the originally desolate island would be like a floating garden in the ocean and become a feast for the eyes! After a busy morning, it was noon. Peter used the solar device to boil the purified water and made himself a cup of coffee. Sitting in the shade of the much bigger tree of life while drinking the fragrant coffee, he imagined the changes of the island in the future. Next, Peter planned to use the afternoon to plant all the Class E seeds that he brought in. Before, he had no way to buy any seeds above Class D, so he brought a lot of Class E seeds in. Among these Class E seeds, Peter wanted to plant Class E coffee beans the most, since coffee was an essential drink every day. However, that¡¯s not the only reason: now that they knew that the tree of life could upgrade the level of the plants, peter was also very eager to drink high-grade quality coffee. Just as Peter was imagining it, the sound of the call on the beach attracted Peter¡¯s attention. Woo Woo¡­ Pop! At this time, from Peter¡¯s position, he could clearly hear the mermaid¡¯s call from the direction of the beach. This made him very surprised, since he¡¯s about five or six kilometers away. At such a distance, not to mention a little mermaid, even if he used a big horn to make a sound, he wouldn¡¯t be able to hear it. That¡¯s strange! Peter immediately realized that the mermaid¡¯s voice should be a kind of sonar transmission. Could it be that this was a mermaid¡¯s ability? Without thinking much, Peter quickly ran toward the beach. The mermaid must have been unhappy after absorbing the life energy and found that Peter was not around. About half an hour later, Peter ran to the beach, panting. At this time, he suddenly realized a problem. It was quite hard to go back and forth between the beach and the planting area so frequently every day. He had to think of a solution. Putting away the thoughts in his mind, Peter saw that the body of the mermaid in the sand pit had grown by one size. The sand pit, which was originally enough to accommodate the mermaid, now looked very small. Pop! After the mermaid saw Peter, she pouted her small mouth at him in grievance. It seemed like she wanted to say something else. Something on the page of ¡°I¡¯m already grown up, and you don¡¯t even come to see me.¡± Peter saw that the mermaid had grown to the size of his palm. When he first got the mermaid, the little thing was only half the size of his palm. This growth rate was too fast. It was worth it to use life energy to grow the mermaid. Peter still reached out his finger and gently touched the mermaid¡¯s small head. The mermaid¡¯s next action surprised him. There was a small cut on Peter¡¯s finger, caused by a sharp stone when he was cultivating the planting area, which he didn¡¯t care about. Who knew that when his finger touched the mermaid, it noticed and spat out bubbles from her mouth to cover the wound. Then, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Hiss! Peter saw the wound on his finger, and it healed in the blink of an eye. Could it be! Was this the ability of a mermaid? Maybe, it¡¯s the healing power? Chapter 6 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Peter was surprised by the excellent healing ability of the mermaid. Originally, after entering the island world, although there was a 30-day rookie protection period, sooner or later, there would be a threat from the sea monster. While Peter, the island owner, can hide, the large number of plants planted on the island would be snatched away by the sea monster, since the fruits that absorbed life energy were also tempting loot to the sea monsters. They¡¯re also prone to raids by other humans. After all, after the 30-day protection period, any island owner that could resist the sea monsters¡¯ attack would be powerful. Therefore, Peter was extremely surprised by the healing ability of the mermaid. Most importantly, the mermaid was only so small. If the mermaid grew to adulthood, then its healing ability would be even better. Perhaps it would be a group healing ability. Next, Peter had to choose a new living environment for the Little Mermaid. In view of the mermaid¡¯s size and to save time, Peter casually dug a hole on the beach and used it as a temporary residence for the mermaid some time ago. But now it was definitely not possible. At this time, a bold plan took shape in Peter¡¯s mind. It was not easy to build a safe and comfortable residence for the mermaid. The main thing was that it could not be too far from the shore, and it could not be too far from the tree of life. It was a difficult situation indeed. But Peter thought of the plan to put the mermaid in a small lake in the center of the island. Peter knew that the mermaid was a creature that lived in the sea. However, there was no information saying that the mermaid had to live in the sea and could not survive in freshwater. He wanted to try and move the mermaid to the freshwater lake. Just before he came, Peter took a small bucket. Although it was not very big, it could easily hold the little mermaid. Peter ran into the sea and filled more than half of the bucket with sea water. Then, he ran back to the beach and put the little mermaid into the small bucket. Just like that, Peter carried the small bucket with the mermaid in his hand and walked to the small lake. One hour later. Peter brought the little mermaid to the side of the lake. Whoosh! Peter was nervous and exhaled as he¡¯s about to find out whether the mermaid could live in freshwater or not. ¡°Little Guy, this is all fresh water. I don¡¯t know if you can live in freshwater.¡± The mermaid poked her head out of the water and looked at Peter with a pair of eyes that were comparable to that of a human woman. Then, she made a popping sound from her small mouth. It seemed like she was saying something, but unfortunately, Peter couldn¡¯t understand it at all. ¡°In that case, let¡¯s give it a try first.¡± Peter thought that since the small bucket of seawater was right in front of him, he would put the mermaid back into the small bucket if it didn¡¯t work. He stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water in the freshwater lake. It felt similar to the temperature of the seawater in the small bucket. Then, he carefully held the mermaid from the seawater bucket with both hands and gently put it into the freshwater lake beside him. Pop! When the little mermaid first came into contact with the freshwater, her expression was obviously stunned. Then, as if it had discovered a new land, it happily swam in the freshwater lake. After all, the freshwater lake¡¯s size was not something that a small bucket could compare to. At this moment, after Peter saw the scene in front of him, the worry in his heart was completely put down. The ability of the mermaids to regulate the osmotic pressure in their bodies was much stronger than that of ordinary fish, so it¡¯s not illogical that they can survive in freshwater. Moreover, there was no data to prove that mermaids could not live in freshwater. Peter watched as the mermaid swam and occasionally jump out to make ¡°pop¡± smiles. After a while, the mermaids finally got tired of playing. They swam to the Lakeside and gave Peter a ¡°pop¡± sound. ? ? ? What did she mean? Peter looked at the Little Mermaid in confusion. Then, the mermaid kept rubbing her stomach with her two small hands. It got hungry from all the swimming. Peter opened the tree of life interface again and saw that after nearly two hours of storage, his life energy had increased to 30 points. Huh? Through simple calculations, Peter found that the life energy produced by the Tree of life was much greater than before. He immediately checked the current level of the Tree of life. [ tree of life ] [ level ] : 5/100. (2 levels higher than before) [ life energy ] : 500 points per day. (Life energy can be used to nurture and level up creatures. 300 life energy can nurture a creature.) [ tree spirit ] : 5 points per day. (The short tree spirit is very good at planting all kinds of plants.) Peter saw that the tree of life¡¯s level had increased by two levels, and its life energy output had also reached 500 points a day. What made him most happy was that the tree of life had an additional function to produce tree spirits. This should be a new function obtained after the tree of life reached level 5. Producing five tree spirits that were good at planting plants a day was a great help to Peter. Just a moment ago, he was still worrying about how to plant so many Class E seeds. This time, he brought a total of 20 kg of seeds into the island world. Apart from 6 kg of Class D seeds, the remaining Class E seeds weigh at about 14 kg. If Peter were to plant the seeds by himself, not only would it take a lot of time, but it would also be a great test of his stamina and endurance. He could not plant a few seeds every day. In this way, he would not be able to get fruits during the protection period. The reason was that the Class E seeds were different from the Class D seeds. Not only was the growth period much slower than the Class E seeds, but the most important thing was that after the ripening period, the fruits would have a very low efficiency in absorbing life energy. Although it had the unique ability of the tree of life, which could raise the level of the plants, it would still need time. Peter would not put all his eggs in one basket. He had to be prepared to go further in the island world. Immediately, Peter selected five tree spirits and began to generate them in the interface of the Tree of life. He glanced at the time it took for the five tree spirits to generate. It was about 10 minutes. Peter decided to feed the little mermaid with life energy first. He used 30 life energy points to feed the Little Mermaid. The light containing life energy flew out from the Tree of life again. This time, because the mermaid was very close to the tree of life, it didn¡¯t take long for the mermaid to eat life energy. In order not to let the mermaid finish absorbing life energy and found Peter was not around and cry out aggrievedly, Peter stayed by the side of the mermaid and watched the little guy¡¯s body emit a gentle light. About ten minutes later, the Little Mermaid had completely absorbed her life force and its body had grown another size. Now Peter couldn¡¯t hold the mermaid with one hand. Chapter 7 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The mermaid, now in a good mood, opened their eyes and saw Peter right in front of them. Then, they quickly jumped into the small lake. This made Peter¡¯s outstretched finger stop in mid-air, which was quite awkward. He had expected the mermaids to come up to him immediately after absorbing the life energy and give him a kiss. Who would have thought that this would be the result? The mermaids ran into the lake to play. Peter was about to get up and leave when he suddenly heard the mermaid¡¯s cry from the lake. Pop! Pop! Following the cry, Peter saw the little mermaid sticking her little head out of the Rippling Lake. She was making a sound to attract his attention. It turned out that the little mermaid was holding a shiny thing in her little hand. This caught Peter¡¯s attention. The mermaid saw Peter looking at it and immediately swam to the lakeside, then handed the object in her hand to Peter. What¡¯s this? Peter took it from the mermaid¡¯s hand and looked at it carefully. This should be something that the mermaid found in the lake, something like a crystal. Just as Peter was puzzled, a system notification appeared in his mind. [ Congratulations, host, you have discovered an energy crystal that can be used to forge energy weapons. ] [ energy crystal ] [ quantity ] : 1 unit. (100 units are required to forge an energy weapon) After reading the system¡¯s introduction, Peter immediately understood. He had found a treasure. Then, Peter held the energy crystal in his hand and asked the Little Mermaid. ¡°Where did you find this?¡± The mermaid could understand what Peter meant, but she could not speak. She immediately turned around and pointed at the bottom of the lake. ¡°I see. How many of these things are there under the lake?¡± When the Little Mermaid heard Peter¡¯s question, she immediately waved her hands and drew a big circle in front of her, meaning there were many of these things under the lake. After Peter understood what the mermaid meant, he was pleasantly surprised. This time, he really picked up something. It was really a happy thing to have a mermaid. Presumably, this was another ability of the mermaid ¡ª- exploration. This exploration ability was different from the original vision ¡ª- search. It was similar to a sonar, which could scan underwater without the obstruction of vision. For example, when the mermaid used sonar to call Peter on the beach, she used this ability. Peter reached out his hands and gently picked up the mermaid. Now he really wanted to give the mermaid something good to eat. However, looking around, other than the immature plants, there was only the food he brought in. He was very clear about the taste of the energy bar. It was only there to maintain his physical strength; the food was really not very delicious. It seemed that he could only wait until the plants that he had planted bore fruit. The little mermaid seemed to understand Peter¡¯s thoughts and immediately rubbed her little head against his finger. Haha! ¡°This little guy is really cute.¡± Peter played with the Little Mermaid for a while more before putting the little guy into the lake. Then, he opened the interface of the tree of life and found that the five tree spirits had finished producing. At this time, there was still some time before dark. Peter planned to have the five tree spirits plant the remaining Class E seeds before the sky turned completely dark. The thick and strong trunk of the Tree of life showed a dazzling light. After a moment, five short tree spirits with very strong muscles walked out from the light of the Tree of life. ¡°This looks a little pleasant!¡± After the light screen disappeared, Peter finally saw the five tree spirits clearly. He had imagined that the tree spirits would grow to look like gnomes in movies and TV shows. They had pointy ears and a nose, and a pair of big, weird eyes. That¡¯s his image of gnomes, anyway. However, the tree spirits in front of him now had a pair of round ears, a round nose, and even a round face. A comical look indeed. At this moment, as the tree spirit appeared, the Tree Spirit¡¯s introduction appeared in his mind. [ Tree spirit, Level 1, consumes 5 life energy every day. can assign tree spirits to carry out planting or mining missions. ] As expected, this was similar to the role of the tree spirit he had imagined before. Peter immediately passed through the system and assigned five tree spirits to start planting. The five gnomes walked in a neat line towards the bag full of Class E seeds. Peter noticed the funny way the gnomes walked. The five gnomes carried the bag full of seeds and walked towards the planting area. The seeds were divided into many small bags according to the type. This way, the tree spirit would not waste a lot of time looking for the same seeds when planting. The tree spirit¡¯s professionalism in planting surprised Peter again. Peter followed behind the tree spirit and watched as the tree spirits took the seeds out of the bag and sorted them. Then, the leading tree spirit walked into the planting area that Peter had planned in advance and dug a pit in the soil with his thick palm. The tree spirit behind him immediately put in a seed and the tree spirit behind him flattened the hole with his wide feet. The last two tree spirits, one watering and one fertilizing. This was a complete planting line. Peter saw the tree spirit¡¯s operation and was very satisfied. At this speed, it would not take long for five tree spirits to plant all the E-class seeds. Just as the tree spirits were planting the seeds non-stop, the system notification sounded again. [ mutated Class D coffee found. ] [ mutated Class D potato found. ] [ mutated Class D grape found. ] [ mutated Class D wheat found. ] [ mutated Class D Apple found. ] After a series of system notifications appeared¡­ Peter grinned happily. Right now, the area where the tree spirit planted the Class E seeds was covered by the life energy emitted by the Tree of life. Naturally, the Class E seeds that were originally planted were instantly upgraded to Class D. Moreover, Peter was very much looking forward to it. The plants that were already Class D became Class C. Potentially even Class B or Class A. At that time, all the plants on the island would bear Class A fruits. Just imagining it would make him happy. This meant that Peter had an island of inestimable value. He would be a big winner when he returned to the outside world. But then, he had to be able to protect the ripe fruits after the protection period. Just now, the mermaid found a large amount of energy crystals at the bottom of the lake. Peter was not in a hurry to let the mermaid mine them. That was because there was no way to create energy weapons after mining them yet. There was no such function on the system interface. It seemed that the life tree needed to reach a higher level to unlock it. Chapter 8 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Peter saw that the tree spirit was working hard to plant the plants, so he didn¡¯t care. He went to the lake and called for the mermaid. The little guy had just finished eating the life energy, so he was still very energetic. He had fun playing alone in the lake, and when he saw Peter calling for him, he immediately swam to the lake. Peter now planned to make a simple place for the mermaid to sleep before it was dark. He couldn¡¯t let the mermaid sleep in the lake, especially if the mermaid felt comfortable after being out of the water for a long time. Peter first asked the mermaid and got the answer that it could sleep without being in the water. So he dug through the box he brought in and found the material used to build the parasol. The mermaid seemed to understand that Peter was going to make a place for it to sleep. Pop! Pop! Hearing the mermaid¡¯s call, Peter looked over. He saw the mermaid pointing at the tent not far away. HMM? This little guy also wants to sleep in the tent? Peter got down on one knee and dragged the mermaid to the tent with both hands. The mermaid was also very happy in his palm and kept twisting her pink tail. When Peter got into the tent, the mermaid saw a sleeping bag inside. She jumped from Peter¡¯s palm to the sleeping bag out of curiosity and got into the sleeping bag. Peter didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry at this scene. The little guy was really smart. He knew how to use the sleeping bag just by looking at it. However, Peter thought that the mermaid was still small and was afraid that if he didn¡¯t turn over and crush the mermaid while he was sleeping, it would be bad. So, Peter came out of the tent and found a canvas and a few metal brackets. He returned to the tent and made a simple hammock for the mermaid with the materials in his hands. Then, he took the mermaid out of the sleeping bag and put it in the hammock. The little guy was very smart and immediately understood Peter¡¯s intention. Peter used scissors to cut off the excess parts of the sleeping bag and used it as a quilt to cover the mermaid. After all the work was done, Peter carried the mermaid to the water purifier. He boiled the purified water and made a cup of coffee. The mermaid also smelled the aroma of the coffee. She stuck out her little head and stared at the coffee with her big eyes. It looked delicious. Haha! Peter slowly put the cup close to the mermaid¡¯s little mouth and watched her tentatively stick out her little tongue to lick the coffee. Pop! Pop! The mermaid, who had just tasted coffee for the first time, was crying so much that she doubted whether the fish was alive. Her delicate little face was squeezed together with her facial features, making a painful look. Peter took out the sugar cubes from the bag and put them into the coffee. After stirring it, he signaled the mermaid to taste it again. This time, the little guy looked at him with a puzzled look, but he had seen Peter putting sugar into the coffee just now. Although he didn¡¯t know what Peter put in the coffee, the little guy decided to trust Peter again. Pop! Pop! This time, the mermaid¡¯s eyes lit up when she tasted the coffee with sugar. Next, she put her little mouth into the cup again, and even her whole little head. Peter simply put the mermaid and the coffee cup on the table, and let her drink it slowly. He made another cup of coffee and took out another energy bar and ate it. At this time, the sky gradually darkened as the afterglow of the sunset touched the island. Under the huge shade of the tree, Peter and the mermaid drank their coffee, and occasionally looked at the five tree spirits who were working hard to cultivate. It was simply too beautiful. When it was completely dark, the five tree spirits finally planted all the seeds in the bag. Because these five tree spirits were originally part of the Tree of life, after finishing their work, they ran back into the tree trunk. This saved a lot of trouble ¡ª- at least Peter didn¡¯t have to worry about the tree spirits¡¯ residence. And this concluded the day. Peter carried the mermaid into the tent, because of drinking a lot of coffee, the person and fish were not sleepy. At this time, the mermaid saw Peter take out a book from the box. He was going to try to teach the mermaid how to read and speak. For the intelligence shown by the mermaid, Peter felt that it should not be difficult for the mermaid to master words and language. Sure enough, after Peter taught the mermaid a few words, it quickly remembered, although the pronunciation was not very accurate. It was still a big improvement. Peter let the mermaid look at his mouth and said, ¡°Eat!¡± Pop! The mermaid imitated Peter¡¯s mouth and said the first word she learned. ¡°Rice¡­ rice.¡± ¡°Not rice porridge, it¡¯s rice.¡± ¡°Rice¡­ Rice!¡± Haha, Peter laughed happily when he heard the mermaid correct her pronunciation very quickly. After a few hours of personal teaching, the mermaid had mastered a few dozen commonly used words. If he taught the mermaid a few more times during his free time, Peter felt that the mermaid would be able to talk to him normally. Then, the man and the fish both entered their dreams. The third day, early morning. Peter, who was sleeping, was awakened by a strange sound outside the tent. He opened his eyes and first went to check on the mermaid sleeping in the hammock. Seeing that the mermaid was still sleeping, he felt much more at ease. Then, Peter crawled out of the sleeping bag and walked out of the tent. The scene in front of him made Peter¡¯s mouth widen. The trunk of the Tree of life grew a lot thicker. It caused the crackling sound of wood coming from the trunk, and it was this sound that woke him up. Peter immediately opened the interface of the Tree of life. [ tree of life ] [ level ] : 10/100. (increased by 5 levels compared to before) [ life energy ] : 1,000 points per day. [ life energy can be used to nurture and level up creatures. 300 life energy can be used to nurture a creature. ] [ tree spirit ] : 5 points per day. [ short tree spirit, very good at growing various plants. ] [ energy defense tower ] : construction requires 500 life energy points and 100 units of Energy Crystals. Peter saw that the tree of life had not only reached level 10, but it also had a new function. Energy Defense Tower! This was a sharp weapon to defend the island. He just didn¡¯t know how the energy defense tower really works, but that wouldn¡¯t really matter. Peter couldn¡¯t wait any longer. He wanted to see the defensive effect of the energy defense tower as soon as possible. Then, Peter went into the tent and saw that the little mermaid had woken up. ¡°Elsa! Wake Up.¡± Peter had given the mermaid a name last night, Elsa. ¡°Eat!¡± The mermaid got up from the hammock, and the first thing she said was that she wanted to eat. ¡°¡­¡± ¡°You really are a little foodie!¡± Peter used his finger to scratch the Little Mermaid¡¯s nose gently, causing the mermaid to sneeze. Achoo! ¡°Hug Me¡­ and eat!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Peter could only carry the mermaid down from the hammock and walk out of the tent since the mermaid had no legs. There were many things to do today. First, after the mermaid finished eating her life energy, she had to start mining energy crystals at the bottom of the lake. Chapter 9 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After Peter and the mermaid finished their breakfast, they went to the lake. Because it was early in the morning, the lake water was still relatively cold ¡ª- Peter¡¯s concerned about letting the Mermaid in at that temperature. This is like a pet in the outside world: they usually make you happy and help you solve your problems, but when it rains, you will involuntarily hold the pet in your arms, afraid of the cold rain to even touch it. Peter was the same. He didn¡¯t even treat the mermaid as a pet, but as a family. In this island world full of opportunities and dangers, only the mermaid was with him. The longer this state lasted, the deeper the relationship between the fish and the man. Peter sat by the lake with the mermaid and watched the sunrise on the surface of the sea to calm himself down. When the sunlight was strong enough, Peter let the mermaid dive to the bottom of the lake and extract energy crystals. Considering the mermaid¡¯s physical strength, he let the mermaid rest several times in the morning, so it was not until noon that the mermaid extracted enough energy crystals to build the energy defense tower. Peter used his life energy to give the mermaid lunch. Then, he immediately opened the tree of life interface. After seeing that the materials for building the energy defense tower were ready, he clicked OK. Construction began. However, Peter did not have any reaction after he clicked OK. Huh? What¡¯s going on! At this time, Peter exited the tree of life interface and looked around. Suddenly, a green sign appeared under his feet. What is this? Peter stood in place for a moment. He didn¡¯t understand what the sign meant until he started walking. The green sign was the location where the energy defense tower was built. In other words, Peter had to choose a location before the energy defense tower could be built. This was easy. Peter started walking towards the beach. After the protection period, the beach was the first place to be attacked by the sea monsters. The beach would give the sea monsters a base upon which they can progress inland. After walking for about half an hour, the sign under Peter¡¯s feet turned from green to red. This was to tell him that he had gone beyond the limit of building a defense tower. He walked back a few steps until the sign under his feet turned green again. ¡°Here it is!¡± Peter chose the location to build the energy defense tower. It was still half an hour away from the beach. At the current level of the Tree of Life, he could only build an energy defense tower so far away. He would build it first. After all, he can move it around after the Tree of Life is upgraded enough later on. When the cursor first appeared, Peter noticed that the energy defense tower could be moved after it was built anyway. After choosing to build it, Peter began to wait patiently, since a 10-minute countdown appeared beside the defense tower. It felt like playing a game in the outside world. At this time, Peter had nothing to do, so he planned to enter the chat group to take a look. It was already the third day since he entered the island world, yet he didn¡¯t know how the others had developed. Peter opened the chat group and was shocked by the huge amount of content. ¡°This morning, I caught a very special fish in the lake. I can¡¯t tell its name, but the fish will glow.¡± ¡°Put it on the exchange and see if there¡¯s a boss who knows what¡¯s good for him.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the big deal? I caught a water monster in the lake yesterday.¡± ¡°If you caught a water monster, why didn¡¯t it eat you?¡± ¡°Did I say that the water monster is very big or dangerous?¡± After Peter saw the message in the chat group, his first reaction was whether it would be dangerous for the mermaid to go to the lake to mine energy crystals. Because of the system, after Peter entered the island world, he did not follow the way of ordinary people to develop the island. This caused him to ignore the creatures in the freshwater lake. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. Peter decided that he needed to find time to develop the resources of the freshwater lake. Just as Peter was thinking about it, the energy defense tower was built. [ congratulations to the host for completing the energy defense tower. The reward is 1,000 life energy points. ] Peter ignored the system notification and opened the energy defense tower¡¯s interface. [ energy defense tower ] [ level ] : Level 1. [ attack range ] : 100 meters. [ energy consumption ] : 100 Life Energy Points/day. Peter looked in excitement at the energy defense tower in front of him. This was the first defense structure built on the island. Then, Peter carefully studied the energy defense tower for half a day. The final result was that this energy defense tower was a passive defense. In other words, any creature outside the island, as long as it appeared within the attack range of the energy defense tower, would immediately activate the attack of the energy defense tower. This was equivalent to having a fully automatic defensive counter attack weapon. Of course, this kind of energy defense tower, the more the better. Only with the advantage of numbers, could the characteristics of the energy defense tower be maximized. Imagine a defensive net formed by Energy Defense Towers. How terrifying would it be! Any foreign invasion would instantly be turned into ashes. However, there were no foreign enemies at the moment, and there was no way to know the effect of the energy defense tower¡¯s attack. Peter could only imagine it in his mind. Then, he prepared to return to the lake first to see what the Little Mermaid was doing. It seemed that he was having a good time in the freshwater lake. Otherwise, he would have called him through the sonar. On the way back, Peter was not idle either. Instead, he was replaying the next plan in his mind. Now, all the plant seeds have been planted. Moreover, with the addition of the tree of life, each plant¡¯s level would increase by at least 2 levels when it bore fruit, the point Peter was most satisfied with. The first energy defense tower on the island was also completed. Peter had a plan in mind regarding the materials used to build the energy defense tower. An energy defense tower requires 500 life energy points and 100 Energy Crystals. According to the current output of the tree of life, 1000 life energy points per day, excluding daily consumption (i.e, mermaid¡¯s food and tree spirit¡¯s consumption), leaves only enough for an energy defense tower per day. This speed was still very fast. Next, Peter had to walk around the island¡¯s border and plan the construction site of the energy defense tower. This was to prepare for the future construction of the defense net. There was also a mermaid born from the tree of life, which was currently growing in a very healthy state. The Tree of Life had a quota to give birth to a creature every day. Later, Peter planned to use today¡¯s quota to give birth to a creature. He just doesn¡¯t know what creature the tree of life will give birth to today. Peter opens the Tree of life interface in anticipation. Chapter 10 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The Tree of life gave birth to a creature that required 300 points of life energy. As for what kind of creature it could give birth to, it was completely random. This increased Peter¡¯s interest. If the creature¡¯s known in advance, Peter may be not bothered to pay the 300 points of life energy. After Peter opened the Tree of Life interface, he used 300 points of life energy to give birth to an unknown creature. At this time, the interface displayed the countdown ¡ª- 10 minutes ¡ª- of giving birth to an unknown creature. Coincidentally, Peter also returned to the freshwater lake. ¡°Elsa!¡± Peter did not see the mermaid on the surface of the freshwater lake, so he could only call out the mermaid¡¯s name loudly. Soon, a small head popped out of the lake. Pop! Pop! ¡°Where¡­ Where did you go just now?¡± The little guy was still not used to speaking. She saw Peter, made the unique mermaids¡¯ call first, and then she remembered to speak. ¡°I went to build a new thing. You¡¯ll see it in the future.¡± ¡°Are you hungry?¡± The mermaids quickly swam to the lakeside, pouting and shouting. ¡°Eat! Hug me, eat.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Peter was speechless. It made sense for the little guy to be hugged by Peter now. But what about when they grew up? He remembered that in the legends about mermaids, they would turn their tails into legs in the end. They were almost no different from humans. He just did not know if the mermaid born from the tree of life would be able to turn their tail into legs in the future. Peter carried the mermaid and walked to the table to eat. The shade of the tree of life was almost reaching the lake. Soon, Peter and the mermaid would be able to eat by the lake. After all, the sunlight in the island world was a little strong. Unlike the changeable weather outside, the island world was mostly sunny. At least after Peter came to the island world, he hadn¡¯t seen any other weather. It was also possible that he was in the protection period ¡ª- he didn¡¯t know if the island¡¯s weather would be moody after the protection period. At this time, Peter was sitting on a folding chair, holding a mermaid in his arms. The little guy was really like a pet cat, snuggling in his arms, his eyes half-closed. Because he had just finished eating life energy, the little guy was still slowly digesting it. As he grew larger, the amount of life energy he ate increased. And the thing that moved Peter the most was the upper body of the mermaid. It was just a little too spicy for his eyes. Life Energy was really good stuff. The mermaid¡¯s originally not very big breasts had already taken shape after eating life energy a few times. Peter sometimes imagined how happy he would be when the mermaid grew to be the same size as him. After the man and the fish finished their meal, Peter sent the mermaid back to the freshwater lake. Then, he opened the interface of the tree of life and saw that the second creature that the tree of life had bred had been completed. The interface of the Tree of life did not show what kind of creature was bred, but only showed the progress of the breeding. He still had to walk to the trunk of the tree of life and wait for the birth of the creature, just like when he was waiting for the mermaid. Peter walked to the trunk of the Tree of life and waited with his arms outstretched. A ball of light appeared again on the trunk of the Tree of life. As the ball of light slowly descended, Peter caught it with both hands, which made Peter recall men in the outside world guarding their wives after birth. The same action, the same anticipation. Every life arrival is an exciting moment. At this time, the light ball fell on Peter¡¯s palm and began to slowly disappear. A fish-like creature appeared in Peter¡¯s sight. Is this a shark? After the light ball dispersed, a shark-like little guy appeared. Only, he is not very certain that it is a shark, since sharks had distinct features. At this moment, Peter received a system notification. [ killer whale, Level 1. When placed in the ocean, it will grow on its own. ] It was actually an orca, a ferocious sea creature specialized in hunting sharks. Peter was also very happy to obtain an orca. This was a creature that could break through the island¡¯s defensive circle and attack enemies in the distance. After knowing that the creature born from the tree of life this time was an orca, Peter looked at the orca that was only half the size of his palm and began to feel troubled. Should he throw it directly into the ocean? He was also afraid that the orca was too small and could not survive. He could only put it into a freshwater lake to try it out first. He wanted to see if the orca could adapt to living in freshwater. In fact, he mainly wanted to find a playmate for the mermaid. From now on, Peter still had a lot of things to do, so he couldn¡¯t always be by the mermaid¡¯s side. With the idea of a trial, Peter carried the killer whale to the lakeside. The unique black and white patterns on the body of the killer whale were very beautiful. Moreover, the head of the killer whale was very big and very cute. At this time, the mermaid also saw Peter and quickly swam to the lakeside. It was not until the mermaid saw Peter holding a killer whale in his hand that she revealed a surprised expression. ¡°Elsa, let it be your friend, okay?¡± Peter asked the mermaid and gently placed the killer whale in the lake. In the next moment, the black and white body of the killer whale showed signs of life as it twisted in the lake. It seemed to be adapting to the lake water. The mermaid also excitedly surrounded the killer whale and even used her small hand to cover the killer whale¡¯s head. The killer whale also felt the touch of the mermaid and opened its eyes. It rubbed its mouth against the mermaid¡¯s small hand. Peter was relieved when he saw that the killer whale in the freshwater did not show any abnormalities. However, he was still a little puzzled. After all, the outside world knew that it was a creature of the sea and could not live in freshwater. Something¡¯s different on the island world. Peter guessed that the problem was still with the tree of life. After all, the creatures born from the tree of life were more than ordinary creatures. Peter didn¡¯t think too much about it. He was also very happy to see that the mermaid had another playmate. This way, the two creatures wouldn¡¯t feel lonely. Looking at the lake, where the mermaid and the killer whale were playing with each other, Peter left the lakeside with ease. Next, he would walk around the beach and choose the place to build the nextenergy defense tower. This was the most important thing. The growth rate of the tree of life was still amazing. It seemed that it would take less than 10 days to reach level 100. Therefore, the next few days would be the days when the island would experience the greatest changes. Of course, the biggest benefit from the growth of the Tree of life in the early stages was still the production of life energy. This guaranteed the amount of life energy needed for the construction of the first energy defense tower in the early stages. As for the Energy Crystals, as the mermaids grew day by day, the mining progress would also increase by a lot, not to mention the small killer whale. So, Peter was seizing the time to plan in advance the construction site of the energy defense tower. Starting tomorrow, he was going to build the energy defense tower on a large scale. Chapter 11 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Peter walked to the center of the island, where a special device was floating. Not only was it responsible for the transportation to the outside world, it also had a 3D model of the island. The island was 20 km long and 18 km wide. To build an energy tower defense network, a more accurate fixed-point plan was needed. It was different from ordinary fortifications. The uniqueness of the energy defense towers caused each energy defense tower to have a crossing point in the distance between each other. In other words, when the two energy defense towers were 1 km apart, blind spots were eliminated. However, if there were three energy defense towers, in order to maximize the attack range, the blind spot would appear at the center of the three energy defense towers. Some people would say that no matter which angle the enemy attacked from, they would not be able to reach the blind spot. This was theoretically true, but Peter was not clear about the unknown enemy. If a sea monster relied on a very thick defense and passed through the attack range of the energy defense tower, it would reach the blind spot and could deal a fatal blow to the energy defense tower. The entire defensive net formed by the energy defense tower would be destroyed. This was the situation that Peter was most unwilling to see. For safety reasons, he planned to go along the border of the island and use the hexagons as the foundation to form an airtight defensive net around the island. An energy defense tower would be erected at every point of the hexagons, and a separate energy defense tower would be erected at the center of the hexagons. This is the best plan that Peter has come up with so far. Just do it. Peter opened the tree of life interface. It turns out that the tree of life was able to produce five tree spirits a day, but now that the tree of life has been upgraded, it can now produce 10 tree spirits a day. With the previous production of five tree spirits, a total of 15 tree spirits can be used. Peter immediately produced 10 tree spirits in the tree of life interface. After a short wait, the 10 tree spirits were produced. There were already 15 tree spirits in the tree of life. Peter summoned all 15 tree spirits at once. The 15 tree spirits followed Peter in the direction of the beach. On the way to the beach, Peter distributed the tools that he had brought in previously to the tree spirits. They were mainly tools for surveying and positioning. This was what most humans who entered the island had to carry. Because the size and shape of the island that each person was assigned to was different, it was said that someone had been assigned to a long strip of island before. As a result, after the protection period, they were unable to defend against the sea monsters¡¯ attacks. This mainly depended on the terrain. The only thing that could be blamed was that guy¡¯s bad luck. In fact, an oval-shaped island like Peter¡¯s was not the best shape. The best defense shape was a lake-on-an-island-in-a-lake-on-an-island, a shape like a big doughnut with a small doughnut inside. However, Peter¡¯s Island shape was pretty good. Half an hour later, Peter led 15 tree spirits to the location of the beach and personally led 15 tree spirits to draw a hexagonal pattern, then locate the six points of the hexagonal mark. Then, through a simple measurement, they can find the center point of the hexagonal mark. The Tree Spirits¡¯ IQ is very high, so they basically only need to be demonstrated once to learn the use of various measuring instruments. After that, it was simple. Peter just needed to follow behind the 15 tree spirits and supervise their work. He was afraid that a mistake at a certain point may cause delays when he built the energy tower defenses. The 15 tree spirits were very efficient. Before the sky turned dark, they had planned out all the predetermined locations of the defense network. Now, he would have to wait for the construction of the energy defense tower. Peter led the tree spirits back to the tree of life and watched as the 15 tree spirits lined up and entered the trunk of the Tree of life. He immediately opened the interface of the tree of life to check the life energy. [ tree of life ] [ level ] : 11/100. [ life energy ] : 2,650 points. [ life energy can be used to nurture and level up creatures. 300 life energy can be used to nurture a creature. ] [ daily output ] : 1,100 points per day. [ tree spirit ] : 11 points per day. [ short tree spirit, very good at planting all kinds of plants. ] [ energy defense tower ] : construction requires 500 life energy points and 100 units of Energy Crystals. Peter saw that the tree of life had produced 2,650 life energy points. Apart from the mermaid and killer whale points, there were still 2,500 life energy points. This was enough to build five energy defense towers. However, to build five energy defense towers, another 500 units of energy crystals were required. This required the mermaid to enter the bottom of the lake to mine, and this time it¡¯ll take more time. Peter walked to the lakeside. He originally wanted to see how many energy crystals the mermaids had mined. However, the scene that appeared by the lakeside shocked him. At this moment, the lakeside was piled up with energy crystals that were the size of small mounds. Were these all mined by the Mermaids? Peter looked at the lakeside with doubt. Just then, a tiger-like little guy came out of the lake. There was a sparkling energy crystal in its mouth, and it quickly swam to the shore. Was this an orca? Before Peter led the tree spirit to the beach, he specially ran to the lake and fed the mermaid and orca with life energy. Who would have known that after only leaving for one afternoon, the orca¡¯s body actually grew to three times the size? This growth speed was too terrifying. The orca also recognized Peter. It spat the energy crystal in its mouth onto the energy crystal piled up by the lake. Then, it turned around and called something with its mouth. It was the killer whale calling the mermaid. Not long after, the little head of the mermaid appeared on the lake, with an energy crystal in each of her hands and the mouth. Seeing Peter standing by the lake, the mermaid quickly swam over. Peter knelt down on one knee and looked at the mermaid who kept swimming closer. He was also quite surprised. This mermaid had grown a lot. Before, the mermaid was about 40 centimeters long. Looking at it now, the mermaid was definitely more than 60 centimeters long. The mermaid swam to the lakeside and threw the energy crystals in her hands onto the lakeside. Then, she threw the energy crystals in her mouth onto the lakeside as well. Pop! Pop! ¡°The Crystals¡­ are all here.¡± Peter looked at the mermaid and was very happy. The killer whale beside the mermaid also shook its head and spoke something like ¡°ou ou¡±. The mermaid continued, ¡°It said¡­ that it put in some effort.¡± ? ? ? Peter was surprised when he heard the mermaid¡¯s words. ¡°You can understand what the killer whale said?¡± The mermaid tilted her head and replied, ¡°Yes!¡± Chapter 12 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Peter pointed at a pile of energy crystals in front of him again. ¡°These are all mined by you and the killer whale?¡± Peter asked because when Peter approached the Energy Crystals, he received a system notification showing that the number of energy crystals had reached 620 units. It was equivalent to the mermaid and the killer whale doing nothing but mining energy crystals Otherwise, how could there be so many energy crystals? The mermaid put her hands on her waist and tilted her little head. Her proud look amused Peter. Haha! ¡°Tell me, how do I reward you and the killer whale?¡± When the mermaid heard that Peter was going to reward her, her eyes lit up as she looked at the dining table not far away. There was still the cup that Peter used to drink coffee on the dining table. This little guy was craving coffee.. However, this also made Peter feel a little guilty. At the moment, he could only take out coffee. The other delicious things had to wait for the fruit to ripen. Now, with enough energy crystals needed to build the energy defense tower and another night coming, he planned to start building the energy defense tower the next morning. At night, Peter lit a bonfire beside the small dining table. The mermaid was still lying in Peter¡¯s arms, holding a cup of coffee and drinking it with a face full of enjoyment. As for the baby killer whale, Peter filled a bucket with lake water and let the killer whale stay in the bucket. The baby killer whale saw the mermaid drinking coffee in Peter¡¯s arms and cried anxiously in the bucket. Oh Oh! Peter had no choice but to feed the baby killer whale with a small spoon bit by bit. This warm scene was played out under the tree of life. It was close to midnight when Peter brought the mermaid into the tent to sleep. The baby killer whale was also carried into the tent by Peter in the bucket. That night, they slept very soundly. On the fourth day after entering the island world, Peter was still awakened by the sound of the tree of life growing rapidly. He opened his eyes and looked at the mermaid sleeping in the hammock. He found that the mermaid had grown up again. The current hammock could no longer hold the mermaid. The mermaid¡¯s pink tail stretched out of the hammock and swayed from time to time. It seemed that they had to make a new hammock for the mermaid first. The little killer whale in the bucket had also grown in size after a night. Peter felt that with the growth rate of the little killer whale, it would not be long before it could enter the ocean. After drilling out of the tent, Peter opened the interface of the Tree of life. [ tree of life ] [ level ] : 26/100. [ life energy ] : 4,100 points. (Life energy can be used to breed and level up creatures. 300 life energy can breed a creature.) [ daily output ] : 2,600 points per day. [ tree spirit ] : 26 points per day. (short tree spirit, very good at planting all kinds of plants.) [ energy defense tower ] : construction requires 500 life energy points and 100 units of Energy Crystals. Peter was shocked by the level of the Tree of life. Level 26! After a night of growth, the tree of life had leveled up by 10 levels. The amount of life energy stored had reached an astonishing 4,100 points. Peter decided to use 300 points of life energy to nurture a living creature, the process for which immediately began. Meanwhile, Peter did not wait around and started to make breakfast. He brewed a little more coffee than usual because he had three mouths to drink. The amount he brewed before was obviously not enough. After making the coffee, Peter saw that the mermaid and the baby killer whale had also woken up. However, the mermaid was very curious when she saw Peter brushing his teeth with his toothbrush. This was the first time the mermaid had seen Peter brush his teeth. Previously, when Peter was brushing his teeth, the mermaid was still asleep. HMM? Peter also noticed that the mermaid was waiting for her two big eyes to look at him. ¡°What¡­ are you doing?¡± Peter suddenly realized that the upper half of the mermaid¡¯s body was almost identical to a human¡¯s. The little guy also needed to brush his teeth. Right now, the mermaid only ate life energy and a small amount of coffee. In the future, when the variety of food they ate became richer, it was inevitable that their teeth would have cavities without teeth brushing. ¡°HMM! This is a toothbrush, and this is toothpaste. It¡¯s used to wash and brush your teeth. Do you want to try it?¡± Pop! Pop! The mermaid revealed two rows of white and fine teeth. ¡°Yes!¡± Haha! Peter held the mermaid in his arms and took out a new toothbrush. After applying toothpaste, he taught the mermaid how to brush her teeth. The mermaid¡¯s mouth was covered with the foam produced by the toothpaste, and she was still making sounds. It took the mermaid nearly 10 minutes to learn how to brush her teeth. After breakfast, the mermaid and the baby killer whale were both absorbing life energy. Peter walked to a place not far from the dining table and began to build an energy defense tower. Boom Boom Boom Boom! After consuming 2,500 life energy and 500 units of Energy Crystals, five life energy towers were put under construction. The main reason was that the current progress of mining the energy crystals at the bottom of the lake was still slow. The mermaid couldn¡¯t be blamed for this. The little guy was already working hard with the orca. The only one to blame was the tree of Life¡¯s astonishing growth rate. Peter looked at the time. It would take half an hour to build five energy defense towers. It was different from the previous energy defense towers. This time, Peter simply put the energy defense towers together and waited for the tree of life to completely cover the island. Then, he moved the energy defense towers to the previously planned location. Now, if the island wanted to build a defensive net made of energy defense towers, it would need 112 energy defense towers. This was a relatively time-consuming defense project. But once it was completed, it would completely solve the island¡¯s defense problem. Any invading creatures would never return. Soon, the mermaid and the baby killer whale had absorbed all the life energy. Peter sent the mermaid and the baby killer whale to the lake and told the mermaid not to be too tired. Although the work of mining energy crystals was very important and urgent, Peter did not want to see the mermaid and the baby killer whale exhausted. He was very happy to see the mermaid and the baby killer whale playing on the lake. It was like seeing his own child playing. Then, Peter went to the planting area around the tree of life to see how the plants were growing. The roses with the shortest production period had already grown branches and started to form small buds. In a few days, when the buds grew a little bigger, the roses would be ready to mature. By that time, the Roses planted around the tree of life would have ripened, and the delicate fragrance of the Roses would have filled every nook and cranny of the island. Just as Peter was imagining this, the life-forms of the tree of life were finished. Peter immediately ran to the trunk of the Tree of life. He had already experienced this, so he ran there in advance, ready to accept the unknown life-forms. This time, what would the tree of life give birth to? Chapter 13 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Peter stood under the Tree of life, still holding up his arms, waiting for the arrival of a new life. Before long, a ball of light fell on Peter¡¯s palm. When the light faded, a cat-like creature appeared in Peter¡¯s line of sight. HMM? This is a cat? Peter judged from the size of the newborn creature. This little guy was white all over. No! There were black hairs on the white fur. What kind of cat was this? Peter carried the little guy back to the dining table. Well, not to eat the little guy: Peter was going to feed the little guy life energy at the dining table. A ball of life energy flew out of the Tree of life; soon, it flew into the little guy¡¯s mouth. Peter patiently waited for the unknown little guy to finish absorbing the life energy. Then, the system notification appeared. [ ancient white tiger, Level 1. It has the bloodline of an ancient God and devil. It is abnormally fierce. ] Whoosh! Peter was shocked by the notification that appeared in front of him. Ancient White Tiger! Just the name alone was very powerful. The Tree of life finally gave birth to a creature that could be used as a mount. Previously, Peter had been thinking that the first to be born was a mermaid, which would be good for warming the bed in the future. The second to be born was an orca, which would be able to dominate the sea when it grew up. However, there was no creature that could be used as a mount. The area of the island that Peter had obtained was rather big. He did not have any means of transportation, so it was very tiring to rely on his feet every day. This was great. The Tree of life had finally given him a creature that could act as a leg strength. After the ancient White Tiger finished absorbing the life energy, it opened its small eyes. Chi! The little fellow opened its bloody mouth and revealed a row of sharp little teeth at Peter. Haha! Peter happily used his fingers to gently stroke the little fellow¡¯s head. ¡°Can you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡± TSS TSS! The ancient white tiger bared its teeth at Peter again. It was quite fierce. Then, Peter carried the little white tiger and walked to the lake. He was going to introduce the white tiger to the mermaids and killer whales. After a while, Peter came to the lake and saw that there were more energy crystals piled up. ¡°Elsa!¡± ¡°Killer whale!¡± Peter shouted at the lake. After a moment, the mermaids and killer whales showed their little heads at the same time. The mermaid¡¯s eyes were sharper, and she was the first to see the ancient white tiger in Peter¡¯s arms. It brought the killer whale to the lakeside quickly, and the mermaid looked curiously at the little thing in Peter¡¯s arms. ¡°What¡­ is that?¡± The Mermaid¡¯s IQ was basically no different from that of a human. Peter even suspected that when the mermaid grew up, her IQ would be even higher than his. After all, the mermaid was a search-type creature. Without high IQ, it was impossible to survive in the ocean. ¡°Elsa, this is your new companion with the killer whale. It¡¯s an ancient white tiger. You can call it a white tiger.¡± The mermaid tilted her head and said, ¡°White Tiger!¡± Peter put the ancient white tiger on the ground. The little white tiger stretched out its limbs and shook its little head quickly to straighten out the tiger fur that Peter had messed up. The ancient White Tiger also saw the mermaid Huhu killer whale in front of it. The little guy walked over carefully. It sniffed the mermaid with its nose and sniffed the killer whale. Then, it tried to touch the lake with its small claws. It was immediately frightened by the appearance of the lake and quickly withdrew its small claws. ¡°Can¡¯t it play with the water?¡± The mermaid asked the question in her heart. Peter immediately said to the mermaid, ¡°The white tiger is a creature that lives on land. It can¡¯t stay in the water for long.¡± Hearing Peter¡¯s explanation, the mermaid blinked her eyes and said, ¡°Oh! Then I can live on land too.¡± Peter thought that the mermaid was referring to sleeping in the tent at night. However, what the mermaid said the next second shocked him. ¡°I¡¯m still young now. When I grow up, my tail can become a pair of legs that can walk at will.¡± HMM? The mermaid¡¯s words surprised Peter. If he remembered correctly, when the mermaid was born, the system didn¡¯t tell Peter the details about the mermaid. This led Peter to believe that the mermaid would grow up to be a fish with a human body and a fish tail. Now he heard the mermaid say it herself. When it grew up, its tail could walk on two legs. It really surprised him. Today was the fourth day that Peter had entered the island. The growth rate of the mermaid had always been in a crazy pattern. Perhaps the mermaid would grow up before the protection period ended. This was indeed a good thing for Peter. Of course, there were also killer whales and white tigers. Similarly, the faster they grew, the better. This way, after the protection period ended, they could help Peter protect the island and do their part. The arrival of the ancient white tiger also made the mermaid and killer whale very happy. Due to the mermaid¡¯s special ability, she could communicate with any creature. In this way, it didn¡¯t take long for the ancient white tiger to become intimate with the mermaid. It seemed that they were even more intimate than Peter, which made Peter very jealous for a while. After that, the mermaid brought the killer whale back to the lake and continued to mine energy crystals. The Little White Tiger stood by the lake and was responsible for taking care of the energy crystals on the shore. Peter saw that the three little guys cooperated very well and left the lake with ease. He wanted to continue building energy defense towers. Currently, he has only built six energy defense towers. There was still quite a bit of progress to go before he could build 112 energy defense towers. Currently, the Tree of life produced 2,600 life energy points a day. Excluding the three little fellows¡¯ appetite, there were probably less than 2,500 life energy points left. It was basically equivalent to building five energy defense towers a day. The construction speed was neither fast nor slow. It was within the normal scope of construction. If the people outside heard this, they would definitely be angered to death. Most of the ordinary people who entered the island world would not have such a heaven-defying plant like the tree of life. According to normal development, most people¡¯s Island would welcome the harvest a few days before the end of the protection period. Basically, it would take about 25 days for the plants planted on the islands to bear fruit that contained life energy. It was different from those islands that relied on normal development patterns. Peter¡¯s Island did not care about the life energy in the island world because of the tree of life. With the tree of Life¡¯s heaven-defying strength, life energy could be easily absorbed by Peter. In the afternoon, Peter asked for the mermaid¡¯s opinion while having lunch with the mermaid over building a bigger hammock for the mermaid. In the end, the mermaid rejected it because the mermaid had taken a fancy to Peter¡¯s sleeping bag. This made Peter feel a strange emotion. It was very awkward! It seemed that Peter would not be able to fall asleep tonight. Chapter 14 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After an afternoon of waiting, the life energy produced by the Tree of life created two more energy defense towers. The total number of energy defense towers reached eight. He is making progress to the total of 112. The accumulation of small amounts would soon be able to complete the number of energy defense towers needed for the defense net. After night arrived, Peter sat at the dining table, drinking the coffee in his hand without saying a word. The mermaid in Peter¡¯s arms was also drinking coffee in silence. The killer whale and the White Tiger in the bucket were absorbing the life energy with their eyes closed because they had just finished eating. As time passed, the atmosphere became more and more awkward. Peter didn¡¯t look at the mermaid in his arms, but looked around at the darkness. There was a confused look in his eyes, not because he was confused about the current situation on the island, but because he was going to sleep. Tonight, the mermaid did not have a hammock to sleep in. She could only squeeze into the sleeping bag with Peter. When he thought of the large breasts on the mermaid¡¯s upper body, Peter felt his whole body burning up. Currently, the mermaid was almost one meter long. This was not what the mermaid looked like when she was just born. The mermaid already resembled a woman by now. Of course, the mermaid also knew. These days, every night after eating her life energy, the mermaid would drink half a cup of coffee, causing the mermaid to not be able to sleep. Peter could only take out the books that he had brought into the island world. After teaching the mermaid to read, the mermaid began to read the books on her own. A lot of the content about men and women being together in the book was also remembered by the mermaid in her mind. This caused the mermaid to be impatient to sleep in the same sleeping bag as Peter. She did not really understand the things between men and women. She just thought that it was good for two people to sleep together and hug each other. After all, the mermaid was born a female, she was still shy about things between men and women. Cough! Peter suddenly coughed dryly. Then, he stopped making any sound. The mermaids lying in his arms raised their heads and looked at Peter. Mimicking Peter, they also coughed softly. ¡°¡­¡± Peter was speechless at this moment. This didn¡¯t need to be learned.. After a while, the mermaids peeked at Peter with their eyes. Then, they deliberately used a very loud voice and coughed dryly. The mermaid realized that Peter still had no reaction, so she increased her tone and coughed twice. * cough cough! * ! Peter had no choice. He looked down at the mermaid in his arms and immediately looked up. ¡°Elsa! Are You Sleepy?¡± The mermaid immediately pretended to be sleepy. ¡°¡­¡± Peter was speechless again. It had to be so obvious! ¡°The killer whale and White Tiger are both asleep. Let¡¯s go in and sleep.¡± After saying that, Peter carried the mermaid into the tent. At this moment, the energy-efficient lamp lit up in the tent, and the soft light filled up the small space. Peter first put the mermaid into the sleeping bag. As soon as the mermaid entered the sleeping bag, she immediately used her arms to block her chest. But that¡¯s not enough to block off the chest: Peter only needed to take a look to feel dizzy. It seemed that he would not be able to sleep tonight if this continued. Peter was very curious. A few days ago, the mermaid¡¯s chest had not yet begun to develop. How could it suddenly develop this morning? And it¡¯s not just regular developments. All of a sudden, it grew so big¡­ The thing that Peter could not avoid was that the shape was still so beautiful. He couldn¡¯t help but want to grab it with his hands. After a while, Peter finally mustered up the courage to get into the sleeping bag. The sleeping bag, intended for one person, got tight in space when the mermaid crammed in. Peter and the mermaid could only lean to each other¡¯s side to ensure that they wanted to be in a more comfortable position. PA! Peter turned off the energy-saving light in the tent. Instantly, darkness emerged and occupied the space that originally belonged to light. In the darkness, Peter could hear the sound of the mermaid panting because of nervousness. He tried to turn his body, but his left hand accidentally touched the mermaid¡¯s tail. Unlike other fish creatures, the mermaid did not have any fishy smell on her body. Instead, for some special reason, the body of a mermaid emitted a faint fragrance. This was the unique body fragrance of a mermaid. Under normal circumstances, the fragrance emitted by a mermaid had the effect of confusing other creatures. After smelling this fragrance, many creatures would lose their original judgment and lose the opportunity to attack the mermaid or escape. This was originally an instinct of a mermaid. However, in the current atmosphere, this fragrance was different. The fragrance emitted by the mermaid due to her nervousness had stimulated Peter even more. It made Peter unable to calm down, let alone fall asleep. At this moment, the mermaid¡¯s voice sounded in Peter¡¯s ear. ¡°Are you asleep?¡± Peter pretended to be awakened. ¡°HMM?¡± The mermaid did not let Peter go and asked again. ¡°Are you asleep? Can you still talk?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Peter really wanted to put his head into the sleeping bag. It was too awkward. However, the sleeping bag was too small for that. After a while, the mermaid pretended to be frightened and said. ¡°I think a mosquito bit me!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Peter really wanted to turn on the light and see the mermaid¡¯s expression now. That¡¯s from the book that Peter brought in, word by word. The conversation took place between a girl and her beloved when they were traveling and sharing a hotel room. After they went to bed at night, the girls kept asking all kinds of strange questions. For example, ¡°are there mosquitoes in the room/¡± For example, ¡°are you asleep?¡± For example, ¡°did you hear any sounds outside?¡± For example, ¡°I was feeling a little cold, got anything?¡± Peter was speechless. Why did this mermaid learn things so quickly! The point was, they were in an island world now. How could there be such a creature as a mosquito? At this time, the mermaid finally said the last sentence according to the script. ¡°I¡¯m a little cold. Hug Me.¡± Peter¡¯s defense line was completely breached. It was different from the defense line of the island that he had been busy building during the day. This time, the defense line in Peter¡¯s heart was breached by the mermaid. From then on, Peter no longer had any defense line in his heart, allowing the mermaid to freely enter and leave. On the island in the middle of the night, the rampaging monsoon rushed onto the island and rushed towards the tent in the middle of the island. The tent, which was not very strong, swayed in the wind. Above the tent, the tree of life extended its luxuriant branches and swayed with the monsoon. Countless lights, like Fireflies, flew out from the branches of the Tree of Life, and began to gather together quickly. After a moment, the gathered lights changed. If Peter were here, he would be surprised to find that the tree of life¡¯s ability had changed dramatically. Chapter 15 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Day Five, noon. When Peter woke up, there was a mermaid on his body. He found that after a night of growth, the mermaid¡¯s body length had exceeded one meter. It seemed that it would not be long before the little guy¡¯s legs grew back. Peter was very happy. His hands touched the smooth back of the mermaid. Unlike human skin, the mermaid¡¯s skin was unusually smooth. It was as if he had touched a layer of oil. If Peter had not deliberately used the strength of his muscles to stabilize his palm, the mermaid¡¯s smooth skin would have let it slide off with no friction. The mermaid felt the peritoneum on Peter¡¯s palm. She raised her small head and opened her eyes, looking at Peter in a daze. ¡°Hug me! Eat!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Peter shook his head helplessly. He first got out of his sleeping bag, then picked up the mermaid. The killer whale and White Tiger, who had been accompanying Peter in the tent, were startled awake by the noise they made. The two little guys looked at the mermaid in Peter¡¯s arms with envious expressions. The killer whale and white tiger must have high intelligence. After all, they were born from the tree of life. Compared to other ordinary creatures, they were superior in intelligence. Peter carried the mermaid out of the tent. At this time, because it was close to noon, the sunlight was still quite harsh. The blinding light made it impossible for Peter and the mermaid to open their eyes completely. No! This was not sunlight. Peter was the first to react. From what he knew, the sun couldn¡¯t emit such intense light. There was only one possibility. There was another reason for the blinding light. Peter first placed the mermaid on the chair. Then, he used his palm to block the blinding light and slowly moved forward. At this moment, a system notification sounded in his mind. [ congratulations, host, the tree of life has reached level 50. You have obtained a time accelerator. ] A time accelerator? When Peter saw the new item in the notification, he briefly ignored the increase in the tree of life¡¯s level. Then, he immediately opened the interface of the tree of life and found the new time accelerator. [ the time accelerator can only be used once. After using it, time will be doubled. ] This was a good item! When Peter saw the introduction of the time accelerator, he was overjoyed. It was very difficult to obtain such a tool to speed up time. It was also because the tree of life had broken through level 50 that Peter was rewarded with a chance to use the time accelerator. ¡°Use the time accelerator!¡± Peter did not hesitate and immediately used the time accelerator. Buzz! A space-time crack appeared on the originally peaceful island. This was a sign that time was speeding up. If Peter had an epiphyllum at this time, he would definitely be shocked by the change in the Epiphyllum. Epiphyllum was known for its short blooming time. It made one feel the speed of the passage of time very intuitively. The time-space rift on the island did not last long. However, the changes on the island were very obvious. The most obvious was the roses planted around the tree of life. At this moment, under the effect of the time accelerator, they had all bloomed into bright flowers. Moreover, the colors of the Roses were colorful, not a single color. Peter opened the system interface and saw that the level of the Roses was already Class A. This discovery made him a little confused. Could it be that after using the time accelerator, the special ability of the tree of life, the ability to increase the level of plants, was also accelerated by time? It should be so. Otherwise, there was no way to explain that the Roses had reached Class A. One had to know that even if only one grade a rose appeared in the outside world, it would cause great shock. It was already very difficult to see a plant that had reached grade B in the outside world. Those great powers would treat Class B plants as extremely precious species and strictly protect them. As for Class A plants, the efficiency of a Class A plant in absorbing life energy was several times that of a Class B plant. After ordinary humans ate it, they would obtain unimaginable benefits. It would mainly extend the lifespan of humans and remove all sorts of difficult diseases. In addition, it could randomly obtain all sorts of abilities that surpassed humans. When the island world first opened, there was once a person who was extremely lucky. After entering the island world, he obtained a Class A seed. From then on, this person walked to the peak of his life and relied on this Class A seed to grow Class A plants. After he returned to the outside world, his plants were bought by a rich man who did not want to reveal his identity. Moreover, the rich man also gave him 20% of the shares. This matter caused a huge sensation at the time. Just a single Class A plant could make an ordinary person¡¯s life completely change. Not to mention, Peter now had an island full of a-class plants. However, this also meant that after the 30-day protection period, the island would face an even more terrifying attack. The large number of mature a-rank plants on the entire island was a fatal temptation to the sea monsters. Peter ran towards the Sea of colorful roses, and the voice of a mermaid could be heard behind him. ¡°Wait for me!¡± However, Peter was deeply attracted by the Sea of roses, and did not hear the mermaid¡¯s voice behind him. After a moment, Peter ran to the Rose area. He reached out and touched the petals of the rose, which was a strange rose. Every petal of the Rose was a color, so the whole rose was very hallucinatory when it appeared in front of Peter. It would make Peter feel as if he was in an illusion. This should be an ability that plants would only possess after they had evolved to Class A. It was also an ability to protect themselves. Different from ordinary illusions, Peter found himself on an island filled with all kinds of naked women. Every naked woman was smiling at Peter, and they were constantly twisting their alluring bodies. Because Peter had absorbed the life energy of the Tree of life for a long time, his physique had changed a lot compared to when he was in the outside world. However, he didn¡¯t realize it yet. If he was an ordinary person, he wouldn¡¯t be able to resist the ability of the rose to make people hallucinate. Peter also noticed that the fragrance of the Rose could make people have an environmental effect. He forcefully stopped the fragrance of the Roses and instantly escaped from the environment. At this moment, the mermaid¡¯s questioning voice sounded behind Peter. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you wait for me!¡± Peter instinctively turned around. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that the mermaid behind him was standing on the ground. His gaze slowly moved to the lower part of the mermaid¡¯s body. Then his pupils began to dilate and his heart began to beat faster. Chapter 16 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Peter turned around and didn¡¯t react when he saw the mermaid. The mermaid was standing on the ground. It was as if the Little Loli who had been by his side had suddenly grown into a mature woman. She was both stunning and surprised! Peter¡¯s gaze started to move down from the mermaid¡¯s chest. When he went past her abdomen, he saw a thick patch of ¡°black grass¡± from the corner of his eye. From there, Peter¡¯s heart started to beat faster. He didn¡¯t want to continue looking down, but his instinct made him unable to control his eyes. The mermaid also noticed Peter¡¯s abnormality and finally reacted. She wasn¡¯t wearing anything right now. The abnormal scene on the island just now made the mermaid¡¯s growth speed reach its peak in an instant. This didn¡¯t mean that the mermaid¡¯s lifespan had reached adulthood. It meant that the mermaid¡¯s physical development had reached its peak. Unlike ordinary creatures, creatures born from the tree of life had an extremely long life force. As long as there were no major accidents, they would usually live for a long time. Peter did not manage to control his eyes. He could see the mermaid¡¯s naked lower body. ¡°So Beautiful!¡± He could not help but praise her. However, the mermaid was already flushed from Peter¡¯s gaze. She even forgot to cover the key parts in her panic. This made Peter feast his eyes and not forget to praise her. ¡°You are¡­ a bad person!¡± The mermaid looked at Peter with a resentful gaze. Hehe! Peter withdrew his gaze with difficulty and quickly shifted his attention, in case he would do something even more outrageous. ¡°I forgot. Did the killer whale and White Tiger also change?¡± After Peter¡¯s Reminder, the mermaid also remembered her two companions. Without waiting for the mermaid to speak, Peter grabbed the mermaid and ran towards the tent. When they ran to the front of the tent, Peter and the mermaid were both surprised by the White Tiger, which grew from the size of a palm to a two-meter-long white tiger after the time acceleration. However, according to Peter¡¯s judgment, this was not the upper limit of the white tiger¡¯s size. After all, how could the ancient white tiger be only two meters in length? It would be embarrassing if it was told to others. However, the White Tiger¡¯s current size of two meters could be used as a mount. What made Peter and the mermaid dumbfounded the most was the killer whale. Previously, the killer whale was in a bucket. In the end, after the time accelerator, the killer whale directly turned into a three-meter-long sea beast. It seemed that the killer whale was going to be released into the ocean. Otherwise, there wouldn¡¯t be a bucket on the island that could hold the killer whale. Then, Peter went into the tent and rummaged through the box to find a piece of clothing for the mermaid to wear. Although there were no other humans on the island besides Peter, they couldn¡¯t let the mermaid walk around the sea naked all the time. The clothes Peter put on the mermaid was a man¡¯s shirt. After the mermaid put it on, only two smooth and delicate legs were exposed. It was still full of temptation. Peter controlled himself not to look at her, and then called for the White Tiger. He wanted to see if the white tiger was qualified to be a mount. The white tiger still cooperated and let him ride on the back of the tiger. For the White Tiger, Peter¡¯s weight of less than 180 kg was no pressure at all. Peter also discovered the amazing strength of the white tiger and called for the mermaid to ride on it. Just like that, Peter and the mermaid rode the white tiger on the island. After having played enough, Peter used tools to make a simple trailer. The wheels were removed from the trolley so that the killer whale could lie on it. After lunch, Peter planned to let the mermaid stay in the tent to watch the house. However, he couldn¡¯t resist the mermaid¡¯s attack and finally agreed to take the mermaid with him to the ocean. To the killer whale, the ocean was his home. After all, a special marine creature like the mermaid was very rare. With the white tiger as a means of transportation, it only took a few minutes to reach the beach. When the killer whale saw the sea for the first time, as a marine animal¡¯s instinct, its eyes were abnormally excited. Seeing that the killer whale did not resist the sea, Peter was relieved. On the way here, Peter was still thinking that if the killer whale really did not like going to the sea, he really could not bear to part with it. After all, even though they only stayed together for a few days, they still had feelings. Peter pushed the trailer that was pulling the killer whale into the sea. Then, he took a few steps back and stood in a row with the mermaid and White Tiger. They watched as the killer whale leaped up from the trailer, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and jumped into the sea. The mermaid secretly wiped the corner of her eyes with her hand, which Peter noticed. However, he did not make a sound. His gaze was fixed on the gradually shrinking figure of the killer whale. ¡°Will it come back?¡± Hearing the mermaid¡¯s question beside him, Peter smiled and stroked her little head. ¡°What nonsense are you saying? The killer whale will always be our family. It¡¯s only going to demarcate its own territory.¡± As for the adult killer whale, Peter did know a bit of information. Every killer whale that was about to reach adulthood would spread a special scent in the ocean to demarcate its own area of activity. At the same time, it was also a warning to other fierce sea beasts that this was my bottom. Peter accompanied the mermaid to sit down on the beach, and the White Tiger next to him was also nestled on the beach. After about half an hour, the killer whale¡¯s unique fin appeared on the surface of the sea. The first to be discovered was the mermaid. She jumped up happily and called out to the killer whale. It was as if the killer whale had left him for a long time. Oh Oh! The killer whale swam quickly to the beach. As the killer whale was not very big, it could still stay in the shallower areas by the beach. When the killer whale reached the full size, Peter would not dare to let the killer whale come to the beach anymore. After that, Peter understood the killer whale¡¯s thoughts through the mermaid¡¯s translation. It turned out that there were no such terrifying sea monsters in the current ocean, at least not within the reconnaissance range of the whale. Also, the killer whales planned to live in the ocean because they found a female killer whale, which proved somewhat surprising. Maybe soon, the killer whales would come to see them with a group of baby killer whales. With some time before dark, Peter planned to go back to the tree of life first and continue to build the energy defense tower. As for the mermaid, she wanted to play with the killer whale for a while, so he left her at the beach. Along with her was the white tiger. Not that it wouldn¡¯t like to be ridden by Peter, but the White Tiger also liked to play with the killer whale. This led to a very awkward situation. Peter had to walk back by himself, leaving the white tiger to the mermaid. Chapter 17 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After Peter returned to the tree of life, he began to build energy defense towers frantically. While waiting for the construction process, Peter also checked the interface of the tree of life. [ tree of life ] [ level ] : 50/100. [ life energy ] : 10,500 points. (Life energy can be used to nurture and level up creatures. 300 life energy can nurture a creature.) [ daily output ]5000 points per day. [ tree spirit ] : 30 points per day. (short tree spirit, very good at planting all kinds of plants.) [ energy defense tower ] : construction requires 500 life energy points and 100 units of Energy Crystals. [ time accelerator ] : Used. The number of life energy points produced by the Tree of life had already greatly exceeded the daily usage. Now, the limiting factor becomes energy crystals: as the 100 crystals required per energy defense tower did not change, it became a constraint. However, this was not a problem. Now that the mermaid had grown up, the efficiency of extracting energy crystals would be greatly increased. Previously, the mermaid had already extracted 1000 units of energy crystals along with the killer whale and the White Tiger. Adding the previous stock, the storage capacity of energy crystals had already reached 1400 units. This time, Peter had used up all of the energy defense towers he had built. A total of 14 energy defense towers had been built, which was only half a day¡¯s worth of extraction. From tomorrow onwards, the progress of building the defense towers would be greatly increased. 14 energy defense towers, plus the 8 energy defense towers that were previously built, made a total of 22 energy defense towers. At this point, Peter can start assigning towers to their defense locations. Peter saw that the tree of life could now produce 30 tree spirits, so he let the Tree of life produce all of them in one go. Adding the 15 tree spirits from before, a total of 45 tree spirits were under Peter¡¯s command, and they began to head in different directions. Peter divided the 45 treants into nine groups, each with five treants. Then, each group of treants learned how to move the energy defense towers most efficiently. Each group of treants would work on two or three energy defense towers. Peter, the director of the show, had 22 energy defense towers erected at the designated location just before sunset. This didn¡¯t seem difficult, but there was still a reason to prioritize erecting energy defense towers at that location. If one didn¡¯t follow the plan and randomly erected energy defense towers at the defense network points, it would greatly affect the efficiency and accuracy of the final network formation. At that point, adjusting energy defense towers would become much more difficult. If one energy defense tower was moved, another energy defense tower would have a blind spot in its attack range. It¡¯s simply not worth it. To ensure that the energy defense tower would not go wrong this time, Peter had to personally go to every point to check after the tree spirit finished his work. This could only be carried out after the White Tiger returned with the mermaid. When night was about to fall, the white tiger finally returned to the tent with the mermaid. These two guys really knew how to play. However, the mermaid also brought back a piece of news: the killer whale found a treasure under the ocean. According to the killer whale¡¯s description, the treasure was a few heavy boxes, each of them several times bigger than the killer whale. The killer whale¡¯s body was now about three meters long, and the box containing the treasure was more than 10 meters big. Peter planned to put the killer whale¡¯s discovery aside for now since he couldn¡¯t bring up something that large from the bottom of the ocean: the treasure isn¡¯t fleeing anyway. The mermaid began to make dinner, another thing Peter had taught her. Because Peter had used the time accelerator, many plants that originally needed more than ten days to bear fruit bloomed and bore fruit in advance. Although there were still very few varieties, it was better than nothing. The mermaid made a fruit salad out of mango and pineapple, while Peter rode the white tiger to various points in the defense net to check if there were any mistakes in the locations where the tree spirits placed the energy defense towers in the afternoon. Because of the White Tiger, Peter¡¯s inspection process was much faster. After half an hour, he had finished checking all the locations where the energy defense towers were erected and was very satisfied with the results. He was proud of the special ability of the tree spirit to focus on doing everything. If this were to be done by a human, there would always be a mistake somewhere. By this time, the mermaid had already prepared dinner. Although she and the white tiger mainly relied on eating life energy, they still welcome human treats. The mermaid also found a glass bottle from the box that Peter brought in and filled it with fruit salads. This was to be brought to the killer whale tomorrow. Peter shook his head when he saw it. It seemed that there was a deep relationship between them. When the mermaid returned, Peter found that the mermaid was holding two beautiful shells. The killer whale found them for the mermaid at the bottom of the sea. Although the mermaid said that one was specially given to him by the killer whale, the mermaid¡¯s expression showed that she wanted both of them. Peter turned on the energy-saving lamp, which lit up the surroundings of the dining table. The mermaid was now nearly 160 centimeters long, so she could not stay in Peter¡¯s arms. Moreover, now that she had legs, she could sit on a chair and eat by herself. As for the White Tiger, Peter also prepared a chair for it. The white tiger imitated Peter and sat on the chair. On the plate in front of it was a fruit salad, which was equivalent to an appetizer before the outside world ate. Then, the mermaid and the White Tiger Ate Life Energy. Peter had always been thinking about the killer whales in the ocean. He had already fed the life energy to the killer whales through the tree of life interface. The life energy could fly far away. Once it found a target, it would automatically fly into the killer whale¡¯s mouth. After Peter finished his dinner and watched the mermaid clean up the table, he began to stare at the mermaid. This made the mermaid¡¯s face start to heat up. How could she not know what Peter was looking at her for? Even the white tiger saw something and crouched to the side, staring at Peter. Sigh! It was not a good thing that the tree of life was born with a high IQ. Peter felt that now that the mermaid had grown up, the sleeping bags they used now were very small. He had to consider changing to a bigger sleeping bag. No! It was better to have a small room with a big bed in it. No! It was best to have two small houses, one for the white tiger. Now that Peter¡¯s Island was the first to bear fruit, he planned to go to the island world¡¯s trading board to have a look. It was better to exchange for more urgently needed supplies since there was a luggage limit of 50kg per person when entering the island world. Chapter 18 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Day Six, noon. Peter found that he had been waking up later and later in the last two days, something he found alarming. He could not continue like this, as it would affect the efficiency of his work. With that, Peter turned the mermaid¡¯s body over and pressed her against him again. An hour later, the White Tiger was roaring outside the tent. It woke Peter and the mermaid up. Helplessly, Peter could only walk out of the tent. After ignoring how the White Tiger appeared as if was going to eat him, he opened the tree of life interface. The White Tiger woke up in the morning and waited until noon, but Peter and the mermaid had not come out yet. Now that the White Tiger was growing, it couldn¡¯t ¡°skip¡± meals. Peter immediately selected 100 life energy points for the White Tiger. Now that the White Tiger had grown in size, its appetite had also increased a lot. He remembered that when the White Tiger was just born, 10 life energy points could make the white tiger eat its fill. Now, 100 life energy points would be needed to satisfy the white tiger. At this time, the mermaid wore Peter¡¯s shirt and walked out of the tent. Peter found it hard to let the mermaid run around naked. After lunch, the mermaid went to the lakeside to take a shower. She was covered in sweat after being tortured by Peter for half the night. After the shower, the mermaid turned her lower body into a fish tail again and dived to the bottom of the lake to extract energy crystals. Peter watched the mermaid¡¯s figure disappear into the lake and felt a sense of melancholy. See? The best wives should be like mermaids. As for the beautiful women in the outside world who were angry when they woke up, just tell them to get lost. They always act as if they¡¯re princesses. Get rid of them all! They¡¯re just being as annoying as princesses. Peter was not idle either. He immediately opened the trading board of the island world. Whoosh! A huge interface appeared in front of his eyes. On it were rows and rows of various goods that were waiting to be sold. Peter had entered the island world from the moment it was opened to the moment all the goods were traded. Unlike the transactions of the outside world, in the island world, goods were traded in exchange for goods. If there was an item that was too precious, the trading board of the island world would convert the items into points of equivalent value. This way, it could avoid the situation where no one would exchange for it for a long time because the item was not of equal value. Peter spent more than ten minutes carefully looking at the more popular items on the trading post. Soon, one of the B grade plants, the fruit of Satan, attracted Peter¡¯s attention. He opened the detailed information of the item. [ the fruit of Satan, a B grade fruit. When used by ordinary people, it can increase vitality and remove negative effects from the body. ] This was a good thing. Because for many special fruits, while they would give humans a lot of benefits, they would also have negative effects. For example, when an ordinary person ate a mature rose, not only could they increase vitality, but they could also increase their own charm; however, they also come with the side effect of hallucination. Imagine, when a person ate a Class A rose petal, every day, they would fall into the illusion from time to time. Over time, it would definitely drive people crazy. But with the Satan fruit, it was different. People who ate the Rose, after eating the Satan fruit, would not fall into the illusion at all. Peter decided to buy the Satan fruit, but he¡¯s also aware of the price. A satanic fruit has 13 flesh, meaning, one can rid 13 negative effects. But the price is also very shocking, priced 5 times as high as other Class B fruits, or the same as a Class A fruit. One can spend points to buy items in lieu of an equivalent value exchange. A satanic fruit required 100,000 points to buy, a concept hard to grasp upon for many. Let¡¯s put it this way. A Class A fruit with the highest level sold 30,000 points on the trading bar. One must know that the owner of a Class A fruit would not normally put it on the trading bar. If they wanted to sell it, they would do it in private. Therefore, the grade a fruit on the trading bar was for other purposes. For example, to gain attention, or to raise the reputation of the seller or company. Look, I have a Class A fruit, but you don¡¯t. It was somewhat similar to the effect of luxury goods in the outside world. Another point was that hanging an Class A fruit on the trading board was to attract the attention of the enemy. It was best to attract the attention of the enemy to snatch it. This was setting a trap, waiting for the enemy to jump in. It had to be said that there were some Class A fruits that could attract the attention of the enemy because of their special effects. After Peter saw the price of the Satan fruit, he did some calculations in his heart. He planned to sell a few Class A Roses, which he had quite a number of now. However, to sell items in the island world, one had to register their real name. In other words, the seller could not hide their identity. Furthermore, Peter¡¯s identity information was that of a newbie who had just turned 18. The moment he¡¯d put the Class A rose on the trade window, it was equivalent to detonating an atomic bomb in the outside world. However, Peter was not afraid of exposing his identity. With the system, he was not afraid of the forces in the outside world. Not to mention the killer whale, just the ancient white tiger alone would have terrifying strength when it matured. Exposing the White Tiger to the outside world can also deter many evil forces. Another point is, now the system rewards Peter¡¯s tree of life, Peter¡¯s biggest reliance. The tree of life can give birth to a new creature every day. God knows, later on, the tree of life can give birth to more terrifying creatures. Peter immediately put up five roses on the trading board, each rose selling for 30,000 points. Moreover, Peter noted that barter was not acceptable. His idea was to exchange five roses for 150,000 points, spend 100,000 points on a satanic fruit, then leave 50,000 points for daily necessities or other items with special effects on the trading post. He couldn¡¯t keep the mermaid in the tent with him all the time, and the tree of life would give birth to other creatures in the future. What if it was another little cutie? Where would he live? Peter had to think of all this in advance. After five Class A Roses were put on the trading board of the island world, Peter ignored them. He planned to go into the forum to see what the latest hot posts were. However, what he didn¡¯t know was, when Five a-rank Roses were put on the trading board, the shock was beyond his imagination. Many big forces in the outside world were shocked. Among them was Peter¡¯s father, who had once invited his classmate, Kelly. Kelly was originally in the island world, but with her father¡¯s help, her life in the island world was extremely comfortable. Every day, there were special servants to serve her. Not only that, his father even hired a large number of mercenaries to enter her island world, building fortresses and attacking warships for her island. Meanwhile, Kelly was watching a play in her new villa on the island. Suddenly, the door to her room opened. Chapter 19 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Kelly¡¯s pupils constricted as she saw the figure behind the door. It was her father, Joseph, the owner of the Life Energy Seed Company. Joseph had only one daughter, and he had spoiled her since she was a child. This time, Kelly was 18 years old. She entered the island world and had her own island. Although Joseph had hired a lot of people to enter the island world to help her develop the island, this was the first time Joseph had entered Kelly¡¯s Island. This made Kelly realize that something big had happened or that her father had something important to look for her. Otherwise, her father would not enter rashly, because entering someone else¡¯s island would be punished by deducting his life force. ¡°Dad! Why are you here?¡± Joseph did not answer his daughter¡¯s question, but spoke faster. ¡°The classmate you asked me to help previously, can you contact him now?¡± Without waiting for him to finish, Joseph reached out and grabbed Kelly¡¯s wrist, gesturing for her to open the smartwatch distributed by the island world. ¡°You mean Peter! I¡¯ll try it now¡­¡± Kelly was frightened by her father¡¯s anxious look. She had never seen her father so anxious. The island world was equipped with a smartwatch for every human who came in, so that they could contact others at any time. But this only works with individuals added as friends. When Kelly first entered the island world, she did not take the initiative to add Peter. Her idea was very simple. Didn¡¯t Peter refuse her father¡¯s help? Well, when the protection period was almost over, Peter would certainly be worried that the plants he planted would not be able to protect him. At that time, Peter will go to Kelly and ask for help. Kelly¡¯s father has seen a lot of such people, and the stronger their self-esteem is in the early stages, the lower their self-esteem will be in the later stages. Kelly first sent Peter a friend request. Joseph, who was standing aside, saw that his daughter hadn¡¯t added him as a friend, and he was very anxious. But he didn¡¯t blame his daughter, because even he had misjudged. If only he had persevered when Peter refused the offer. However, the island world didn¡¯t have the kind of fruit that could undo regrettable actions. After Kelly sent out the friend request, she could only wait patiently. Meanwhile, Joseph was pacing back and forth in the spacious living room with his hands behind his back. Looking at her father¡¯s anxious expression, Kelly couldn¡¯t help but ask. ¡°Father, what exactly happened? Why are you so anxious to contact my classmate Peter?¡± Kelly had a premonition that something might have happened to Peter for her father to be so anxious to find her. However, without her father¡¯s confirmation, she still couldn¡¯t imagine what Peter would do. Joseph stood still and looked at his precious daughter with a grave expression. ¡°Your classmate put five Class A Roses on the trading board half an hour ago.¡± ¡°What! Five¡­ Class A¡­¡± When Kelly heard her father¡¯s words, she looked at her father in disbelief. ¡°We all underestimated your classmate.¡± This kind of thing could not be faked. Kelly knew very well that she was usually spoiled, but she was not a fool. In the island world, no one could control the rules, let alone faking information on the trading board of the island world. Therefore, when Joseph revealed his intention, although Kelly was skeptical, she was already wondering if Peter had obtained the wealth and opportunity left behind by aliens in the island world. Only this could explain the fact that Peter had sold five Class A Roses in the trading hall. One had to know that a single Class A fruit could cause a huge uproar in the outside world. However, Peter had taken out five Class A Roses in one go. He simply did not take Class A fruits seriously. Looking through the surface, one could see the essence. The financial groups and forces in the outside world were not fools. Someone who could take out five Class A Roses at will definitely have other Class A fruits in his hands. In fact, there were quite a number of them. About half an hour later, Joseph had urged his daughter countless times. ¡°He hasn¡¯t accepted the friend request yet!¡± Kelly shook her head, her delicate face slightly distorted due to her impatience. ¡°Dad! How many times have you asked?¡± ¡°Ahem! I¡¯m in a hurry, Right?¡±Joseph stood up from the sofa and paced back and forth again. ¡°Kelly! You Don¡¯t know, but the outside world is in chaos now. Several consortia have already sent people to look for Peter¡¯s relatives.¡± Kelly didn¡¯t expect that Peter would be valued so highly by those large consortia and forces in the outside world. She felt very uncomfortable at this moment. There was no other reason. Usually, it was the people around her who looked up to her nose. When did she need to take the initiative to apply for friend approval? In the end, the other party completely ignored her. This strong sense of contrast made her feel very uncomfortable. However, because her father was present, Kelly could only endure it. At this moment, Joseph suddenly stood up and looked at his precious daughter. ¡°Among your classmates, is there anyone very close to Peter?¡± Kelly instantly understood what her father meant. Joseph wanted to contact Peter through other people. It was only his fault that he was too impatient and didn¡¯t think of this good idea immediately. After a moment, Kelly immediately started searching through her friends. Then, a friend named Hawk was pulled out by Kelly and opened the dialog box. ¡°Hawk, you have Peter¡¯s friends, right? Can you help me contact him?¡± After sending a message, the other party replied very quickly. ¡°Goddess! What¡¯s the matter with Peter? I have a good friend of his, I can help you contact him immediately.¡± Hawk was also Peter¡¯s classmate. This time, they entered the island world together. Luckily for them, Hawk still didn¡¯t know that Peter was selling five Class A Roses on the trading board. At this time, it was noon in the island world. Peter was having lunch with the mermaid, which, thanks to the mature plant species on the island, has grown in diversity and is also much more sumptuous. Most importantly, they were all eating Class A fruits. If the outside world knew that Peter was actually eating the extremely rare Class A fruits, they would probably go crazy. To them, Peter was eating Class A fruits as food. It¡¯s simply a waste of God¡¯s gift! Beep Beep! Peter¡¯s smartwatch on his wrist rang. Chapter 20 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Every person who entered the island world would receive a smartwatch for social interactions. It was different from the smart products in the outside world as it was directly connected to the owner¡¯s consciousness. Peter saw that it was a voice request from his classmate, Hawk. He thought for a moment before picking up. ¡°Peter, what are you doing in the island world? Why aren¡¯t you in the classmate group?¡± ¡°Are you secretly doing something on the island?¡± ¡°Oh right, the goddess Kelly is looking for you. She seems to be adding you as a friend, but you never agreed.¡± ¡°Peter, the Goddess took the initiative to add you, but you didn¡¯t immediately agree! You¡¯re crazy!¡± As soon as Peter connected the call, he heard Hawk spitting words like a machine gun. ¡°Hawk! That¡¯s your goddess, not mine.¡± After saying that, Peter glanced at the mermaid in his arms. ¡°Hawk, did Kelly say what she wanted to talk to me about?¡± When Peter was studying in the outside world, he was not very interested in the rich girl Kelly. Although Kelly always pretended to be approachable, she kept a sense of superiority. ¡°Kelly didn¡¯t say anything. She just told me to find you, tell you that she applied to add you as a friend, and then ask you to agree.¡± Peter immediately realized that the likely reason why Kelly suddenly looked for him was because he had just put five Class A Roses on the trading board. Other than that, he really could not think of any explanation for her eagerness. Moreover, when asked Hawk to find him, he did not tell Hawk what it was about. This must be Kelly¡¯s father, who, after having noticed Peter¡¯s moves on the trading floor, then asked Kelly to talk to Peter. This kind of act is most hated by Peter. Want to find me? Wait. After hanging up the voice call with Hawk, Peter ignored this matter. He pulled the mermaid and began to buy daily necessities on the trading board. Another important thing was to let the mermaid choose her own clothes. After all, he really didn¡¯t know how to choose clothes for women. There were many items on the trading board of the island world. For example, some common daily necessities, and some rare items hard to buy in the outside world. Many supermarket chains and malls in the outside world even had branches in the Sea World. Their goal was very simple. They would exchange the goods for a large number of points from the island world, and then use the points to buy those high-level fruits. It¡¯s like killing two birds with one stone as they achieve both objectives. Peter pulled the mermaid to pick out the goods in the trading column. White Tiger also joined in the fun. The five Class A Roses that Peter had sold before were all bought by a large consortium within half an hour after they were hung up. Peter expected that his hanging up Hawk¡¯s call would lead to some shock for the consortia. This response is most unlikely to be in their playbook. Otherwise, the five Class A Roses would be sold out in an instant. After Peter sold five Class A Roses, he got 150,000 points. He spent another 100,000 points to buy Satan¡¯s fruit, and the remaining 50,000 points went to a spending spree. This was the first time the mermaid had seen such a magical thing like the trading board. The array of goods on it dazzled the mermaid. She wanted everything. Peter, who was beside her, thought to himself. Fortunately, he had enough points, otherwise it would be really awkward. After all, many items on the trading post could be bartered. Only those who were really rich would use points to buy them. For example, if a big chain supermarket or department store encountered customers who used points, they would treat them as their benefactors. For example, a Gram of gold was priced at about 100 dollars in the outside world. But in the island world, 10 grams of gold could be bought with only 1 point. Not that gold had depreciated in the island world, but the island world¡¯s points were too valuable. If the island world¡¯s points were converted from gold, the price of the Class A roses that Peter had sold previously was 30,000 points. If converted into dollars in the outside world, it would be 30 million dollars. Peter had sold five Class A Roses in total, that was 150 million dollars. He had definitely stepped into the ranks of the rich. After about an hour, the mermaid had finished choosing her clothes. Peter took a look at the shopping cart. The mermaid had truly turned it into a spree, having chosen more than 300 tops, plus over 500 pieces of pants and skirts. The mermaid didn¡¯t forget shouse ¡ª- more than 500 pairs of shoes of all kinds, really. This was not the end. There were also more than 200 bags of all kinds. Peter was very curious. Turns out, lack of immunity against urge-based purchases isn¡¯t exclusive to the outside world! And the most ridiculous thing was, after the mermaid chose for herself, she also chose to buy for the killer whales and white tigers. How should a tiger and a whale use clothes? Peter couldn¡¯t find out. Finally, the mermaid also allows Peter to choose a lot of clothes and shoes. But Peter secretly canceled those orders. He does not like to dress in fancy. After the mermaid shopping, Peter was going to choose the kind of more luxurious tents. While called ¡°tents¡±, they may as well be simplified houses. They come with solar power and most every living necessicities. They could even automatically collect rainwater, and come with a home theater. However, the mermaid took away the right to buy tents again. Peter simply letthe mermaid buy the rest of the daily necessities. After a few more hours, the mermaid finally bought all the things she wanted to buy. Then, the mermaid happily ran to the teleportation device and waited for the delivery. When Peter saw the mermaid¡¯s appearance, he wanted to laugh. She hadn¡¯t paid yet. Then, Peter found the shopping cart in the transaction bar. When he clicked on it and was ready to pay, he was shocked by the amount. 23,418 points! Peter immediately felt bad. What did the mermaid buy that cost more than 20,000 points? If converted to outside dollars, it was more than 20 million dollars. Peter looked at the mermaid with a strange look. However, the mermaid beside him did not understand the relationship between money. The mermaid just blinked her big eyes and looked at Peter. The meaning was¡­ Why are you looking at me like that? Is there a problem? Alright! Peter finally admitted defeat and used his points to settle the goods in the shopping cart. Next, it was the mermaid¡¯s happiest moment. Waiting to receive the goods! Every one minute, the mermaid would ask Peter the same question. ¡°Why hasn¡¯t it arrived yet?¡± The goods purchased in the island world would have a special delivery mechanism, which would send the goods directly to the buyer¡¯s Island. However, the goods would be sent through the portal. The buyer only needed to wait in front of the portal. About half an hour later, the yellow light screen above the portal lit up. The goods purchased by Peter and the mermaid had arrived. Peter opened the portal with the mermaid, unusually excited. Whoosh! Bang! Bang! The moment the portal opened, a large amount of goods flew out of the portal. The White Tiger was shocked by this scene. The mermaid was also shocked. She didn¡¯t expect that there would be so many goods.. However, Peter didn¡¯t look too happy, not because the mermaid had bought too many things, but because he saw a lot of flyers flying out of the portal with the merchandise. A reward, to be exact. A reward for Peter. Chapter 21 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The mermaid was so immersed in the mountains of merchandise that she didn¡¯t notice the change in Peter¡¯s expression. Peter had a reward in his hand. It was a reward for Peter. Any person to be able to get in touch with Peter would be rewarded with $10 million upon the issuer of the reward establishing contact with Peter. While not a bounty word-for-word, that¡¯s its effective purpose. Peter saw that the bounty was issued by a consortium called Greenleaf, very influential in the outside world. It operated in the real estate, new energy, and retail industries. It was a conglomerate. And the boss behind this conglomerate was said to be close to 100 years old. Originally, this old man who was close to 100 years old didn¡¯t have much life force left. However, after the alien ruins were discovered, the first batch of fruits that absorbed life force was bought by the old man¡¯s consortium, thus extending his life force for a short period of time. Previously, on the Trading Board of the island world, five Class A fruits were displayed and were eventually bought by another consortium. This was something that the greenleaf consortium was not willing to accept. They had to find the seller who sold the five Class A fruits. It was Peter. The Green Leaf consortium knew that Peter definitely still had Class A fruit roses in his hands. There might even be other Class A fruits. However, they had to contact Peter first to get anywhere. The Green Leaf Consortium was also forced into a corner. They frantically searched for Peter¡¯s family in the outside world. However, after searching for two days, they discovered that Peter did not have any family at all. He¡¯s an orphan. He had been living in an orphanage since he was three years old. They also found some of Peter¡¯s parents¡¯ records. After Peter¡¯s mother gave birth to him, she died because of severe bleeding. However, his father¡¯s files had never been found. The hospital that had delivered Peter kept the medical records, but there was no record of Peter¡¯s father on it, so there was no way to find out. As for the boss of the Green Leaf Consortium, he had taken a Class A Fruit of life two years ago. Although it had extended his life force, it had mainly increased his sexual ability, with life force increase as a minor benefit. This means the old man¡¯s life force can only be extended for three years. There was less than a year left until his life force expired. The old man began to panic; in order to extend his life force, the entire Green Leaf consortium was looking for Class A fruits. Unlike the island world, it was even more difficult to obtain Class A fruits in the outside world, as those consortia that had Class A fruits would not take them out to trade. Therefore, finding Peter and contacting him was the only way out for the Green Leaf Consortium. At this time, Peter picked up all the rewards that were scattered on the ground. He planned to use them when he lit a bonfire at night. Peter adjusted his mentality. He no longer paid attention to the rewards. He still had a lot of things to do next. There was still some time before the night in the island world. Peter planned to go with the mermaid to sort out the various products that he had bought from the trading hall. After all, there were too many of them. The mermaid picked out all the items that belonged to her and piled them up into a small hill. Peter had no choice but to assemble the luxury tents that he had bought. He bought five luxury tents, each of which could accommodate ten people. Peter summoned all the tree spirits from the tree of life and asked the tree spirits to help him assemble the tents. Half an hour later, five luxurious tents were erected next to the lake, far faster than the speed of construction had Peter done it himself. Moreover, when he was assembling the tents, Peter read the instructions and each tent could be stacked together. In other words, five tents could form a five-story building, but Peter¡¯s Island was not small, so the five tents next to the lake were not crowded. After assembling the tents, Peter finished assembling a small four-wheeled electric car that he had bought for his own use. He had to: the white tiger now liked to take the mermaid around the island, completely ignoring Peter. Next, there were various other daily necessities, which did not take much time to assemble, requiring merely organization. The only thing that gave Peter a headache was the huge amount of clothes and shoes that the mermaid had bought ¡ª- over 1000 pieces in total. The problem was that the mermaid still wanted to try them on one by one. There were more than 1,000 of them. How long would it take to try them on? Finally, Peter assembled an intelligent excavator that could dive, used to mine the energy crystals under the lake. According to the excavator¡¯s instructions, a diving excavator can be charged once and can work for six hours without stopping, providing amazing outputs. Peter plans to try it now anyway: the excavator is charged and ready to send. Although the sky is about to be dark, for the excavator working underwater, it will not delay the progress of mining. Moreover, when the power of the excavator ran out, it would automatically recharge. Subsequently, Peter summoned two tree spirits from the tree of life and taught the tree spirits how to operate the excavator. In fact, the excavator mining energy crystals underwater was fully automatic, and basically did not need the user to operate. The tree spirits¡¯ work was mainly to keep an eye on the lake. The night of the island came. The mermaid was still in the tent, trying on all kinds of clothes and shoes. The tent was much better than the simple tent before, not much different from the houses in the outside world. The mermaid was very happy about it. With such a good house, of course she would try on all kinds of beautiful clothes, leaving Peter to make dinner. The most annoying thing was that the White Tiger also joined in the fun, and even looked like he wanted to try on clothes. The next morning, after Peter woke up, he first went to the lakeside to take a look. After a night of mining, the excavator had extracted 9,360 units of energy crystals. The Tree of Life¡¯s level had also reached level 73. Peter checked that the tree of life stored more than 50,000 points of life energy. That¡¯s nearly sufficient for all the energy defense towers. It seemed that the defensive net formed by the energy defense towers could be built today. Peter was looking forward to the appearance of the defensive net after it was built. Currently, the strength of Peter¡¯s Island defense was enough, but it lacked the means to fight back. There was only one killer whale as the only sea beast that could attack. Chapter 22 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Peter saw that the mermaid was sleeping, likely because she was too tired from trying on clothes last night. The same applied to the White Tiger. He ignored the two creatures and opened the tree of life interface and began to build the remaining energy defense towers. Previously, he had already built 22 energy defense towers. He was still 90 energy defense towers short of a total of 112. Each of these 90 energy defense towers required 500 life energy points and 100 units of Energy Crystals, for a total of 45,000 life energy points and 9,000 units of energy crystals. Now that everything was ready, it was time to build. It would take 25 hours to build 90 energy defense towers. Peter summoned the tree spirit directly from the tree of life and had the tree spirit line up under the tree of life. Every time an energy defense tower was built, one tree spirit would be responsible for moving the energy defense tower to the designated location. This would greatly increase the efficiency. Peter was only responsible for supervising. He drove the electric car, racing around the edge of the island, and checking the efficiency and accuracy of the tree spirit. Besides returning to the lake for lunch, he spent the whole day worrying about the construction of the defense net. The island¡¯s plan was being implemented step by step, exactly what Peter wanted to see. As the protection period was getting shorter, the threat of unknown sea monsters or even more terrifying creatures attacking the island became more and more real. Peter had to make sure that nothing went wrong. The entire island was filled with Class A plants. The fruits of these Class A plants were too tempting. After lunch, the mermaid said that she wanted to go to the beach to visit the killer whale. Peter was also going to the beach, so he went with her. As a result, Peter heard the killer whale say something that made his back cold. The killer whale has a large territory thanks to the strong body of the killer whale and its uniqueness compared to outside creatures. It is born from the tree of life, so it is naturally much stronger than the sea beasts outside. According to the description of the killer whale, it had encountered a group of sea monsters in the deep sea. That¡¯s right, it was a group of sea monsters, and their numbers were terrifying. This group of sea monsters looked a little like the sharks in the ocean in the outside world, but their bodies were much bigger than the Sharks. After a few days of growth, the body length of the killer whale had already reached 20 meters. The length of that group of sea monsters was generally several times the length of the killer whale, and there were even a few sea monsters that were more than ten times the length of the killer whale. The orcas would not lie about this. After all, the orcas did not know what lying was. The Sea Monsters also discovered the orcas at that time. At that time, the sea monsters did not take the initiative to attack the orcas. Instead, they collectively stopped in the deep sea, as if they were waiting for something. Peter guessed that if he was not wrong, the sea monsters were waiting for the island¡¯s protection period to be lifted. This was because all the plants on Peter¡¯s Island were Class A plants. Since half of them haven¡¯t ripened yet, Peter expects a less insane degree of Class A plant scent than when they have. Take Peter for example. Ever since the number of ripe a-rank fruits on the island increased, he had become very energetic every day. He always felt that his body had endless energy. The most obvious change was that he would not feel tired after waking up from the ¡°fight¡± with the mermaid every night, regardless of the length. Moreover, his appetite was constantly decreasing because he was constantly absorbing the life energy of the Class A fruits every day. It was not an exaggeration to say that if Peter continued to live in the island world, his vitality would extend indefinitely. However, the premise was that the number of Class A fruits on the island had to reach a certain scale. After all, most islands don¡¯t even have a single Class B fruit. During the 30-day protection period of the island, there would be an energy layer covering the island, which could not be discovered if one did not look carefully. It was like a transparent glass bowl that was upside down to protect the island. After the 30-day protection period was lifted, the energy layer would dissipate on its own. In fact, to the sea monsters in the Sea World, the biggest threat to the island was still humans. This was because during the protection period of the island, some people with backgrounds would get the help of outside consortia and send drones to conduct reconnaissance on the other islands. Although the drones could not enter the island protected by the energy layer, it did not prevent the drones from scouting other islands from a high altitude. Peter did not know if his island had been scouted by drones. After all, he could not do anything but stare at the sky and look for drones. The only fortunate thing was that the drones were usually scouting the defense formulas on other islands and couldn¡¯t determine the grade of the plants on the island. Otherwise, Peter¡¯s island would be in a worse position. While Peter was patrolling the defense net, he took the time to use the quota for today¡¯s birth of life. There were now five tents on the island that could accommodate 10 creatures at the same time. This made Peter look forward to the time when he could give birth to life every day. After a short wait, the tree of life descended a ball of light containing the power of life. This time, the tree of life also gave birth to a random creature. However, when Peter saw the light on his palm disappear, he was still shocked by the creature in his hand. An angel with wings! The little guy had a pair of small white wings on its back. After Peter fed the little guy with life energy, the little angel flapped its wings and hovered in front of Peter. At this moment, through the system notification, Peter discovered that the little angel with a pair of wings in front of him was actually a 12-winged archangel. The exact name should be ¡°12-winged blazing Angel¡±! This was the upper god in the myths of the outside world. However, the little angel with only two wings now and Peter didn¡¯t know when it would grow up. One had to know that the magic power of a 12-winged blazing angel was very terrifying. When Peter was studying in the outside world, he loved to read myths and legends. A 12-winged blazing Angel was equivalent to a fire-type grand magister, only based on the skill of casting magic. If one were to calculate based on magic power, the magic power of ten fire-type grand magisters would be equivalent to the magic power of the twelve-winged angel. This difference was too terrifying. Therefore, when Peter learned that the creature in front of him was a twelve-winged seraph, he almost fell because of excitement. Chapter 23 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The little angel fluttered her wings and was only the size of Peter¡¯s palm, her white body appearing extremely transparent under the sunlight. It was like an exquisite porcelain doll flying around in front of Peter¡¯s eyes. The mermaid also showed great interest in the new little angel. Even her favorite hobby, trying on clothes, was halted. The mermaid ran to Peter¡¯s side and looked at the little angel flying in the air with envy. ¡°What is this? Why does it have wings?¡± Peter raised his arm to hug the mermaid and said, ¡°This is an angel. Wings are an innate ability of an angel. Just like your tail, allowing you to live in the water when it is born.¡± The mermaid nodded to show that she understood. Then, she ran to the little angel and reached out her hand to touch the little angel. At this time, the little angel did not resist. She took the initiative to lower the flying height and landed on the mermaid¡¯s palm. The little angel could feel that the mermaid was not malicious, unlike other creatures. The mermaid¡¯s talent was to be able to communicate with creatures across language barriers. Peter saw that the little angel was very happy playing on the mermaid¡¯s palm. He immediately opened the Tree of life interface, selected 10 points of life energy, and fed it to the little angel, which it took a few minutes to absorb. He still secretly hoped that the little angel could grow up faster. At this time, the White Tiger ran over. When the tree of life gave birth to a living creature, the commotion was noticeable. When a screen of light appeared in the sky, the White Tiger, who was running around alone not far away, sensed the intense aura of life from the tree of life. It was also a creature born from the tree of life, so it naturally sensed the changes in the tree of life. The white tiger ran to the side of the mermaid and raised its head to look at the little angel in the mermaid¡¯s hand. ¡°White Tiger, this is the little angel. Don¡¯t bully it in the future. Protect it.¡± Peter, who was beside the mermaid, thought to himself that when the little angel grew up, the protecting-protected relation may be reversed. At this moment, the little angel finished absorbing the life energy and opened her eyes. Who would have thought that the white tiger would see the little angel open her eyes and fly up? The surprised White Tiger let out a low tiger roar. The little angel was startled by the White Tiger¡¯s cry; the wings on its back stopped flapping because of the fright, which caused the little angel to almost fall from the sky. The mermaid immediately stretched out her hand, intending to catch the little angel. The little angel, who had received the fright, shook her little head hard and frowned. The following scene caused Peter and the mermaid to turn pale with fright. The little angel suddenly stretched out two small pink hands, and a ball of weak flames appeared on her palms. Peter did not see how to activate the Flames, but the flames directly flew towards the White Tiger. The White Tiger was, after all, an ancient divine beast that was about to mature, so it easily dodged the attacks of the flames. However, the Flames did not stop and directly smashed into the ground. Hong! A wave of smoke rose. After the smoke slowly dissipated, a small pit appeared on the ground. Although the pit created by the flames was not big, Peter walked over to take a look and noticed its depth. This was the little angel¡¯s attack ability! Peter was shocked by the deep pit in front of him. This was a little angel that had just been born. Although she had eaten life energy once and had grown a little, she looked like a little thing. Peter could not imagine how terrifying the destructive power of the little angel would be when she grew up. The White Tiger was scared away by the little angel¡¯s flames, while the mermaid was calmer than anyone else. She still walked in front of the little angel and used her special talent to communicate with her. After a while, the little angel finally calmed down, relieving Peter¡¯s concern. Then, Peter and the mermaid took the little angel to the tent built by the lake. The little angel was arranged by the mermaid to sleep in her tent with the mermaid. When the mermaid carried the little angel into the tent, she didn¡¯t forget to look at Peter provocatively. The meaning was obvious. Let¡¯s see if you still dare to bully me at night! Now that the little angel was protecting her, Peter really dared to force her at night. This was not difficult for Peter. After all, the Little Angel was born from the Tree of life. The existence of the Tree of life was to strengthen Peter, so as long as the little angel was constantly fed with life energy, it would not be long before they became intimate. After nightfall on the island, the white tiger carefully ran back to the lakeside. It¡¯s really scared by the little angel¡¯s terrifying flames. The dinner was made by the mermaid, who specially made a sumptuous dinner for the little angel. The resources on the island were rich, definitely different from when Peter first came in, when he could only chew on the difficult to swallow energy bars. Previously, on the trading post on the island world, the mermaid not only bought a lot of clothes, but also a lot of fast food and fresh meat. Oh right, there was also fresh seafood, not bought from the trading post. Instead, when the mermaid went to the beach to deliver fruit to the killer whale, the killer whale caught some seafood and let the mermaid bring it back for Peter and the White Tiger to eat. What the killer whale did not know was that they had another member. The abnormally sumptuous dinner made the little angel reveal a very curious expression. One moment, she would fly to the cooked crab to smell it, and the next moment, she would fly to the roasted golden steak to take a bite. The white tiger deliberately kept a safe distance from the dining table. With saliva in its mouth, it could only hold it in. Seeing this scene, the mermaid laughed so hard that she fell back. The mermaid called the white tiger over, but the white tiger refused to come. The mermaid had no choice but to walk directly to the White Tiger¡¯s side. She grabbed the White Tiger¡¯s ear with her hand and forcefully pulled him to the dining table. When the little angel saw the white tiger, she revealed two rows of tiny white teeth and smiled foolishly at the White Tiger. This scene made the white tiger dumbfounded. The mermaid acted as a translator and told the white tiger the Little Angel was apologizing to the white tiger. She told the white tiger that she did not mean to hurt the white tiger. Peter sat at the dining table and looked at the warm scene in front of him. He was in a very good mood. He specially opened a bottle of red wine. The red wine was also purchased by the mermaid from the trading post. It looked very expensive and was not the cheap red wine that the outside world had drunk. Steak was also top-grade wagyu beef, a rarity in the outside world too. After all, in the island world, if one did not take out good goods, how could one cheat, uh, exchange for points? Dinner was carried out amidst laughter. At this moment, in the sea not far from the beach, a group of black and white backs emerged from the sea. The population of these killer whales is still a threat to the island. Chapter 24 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Peter woke up in the morning and saw that the White Tiger hadn¡¯t woken up yet, so he drove the electric car to inspect the protective net. After a night of the tree spirits moving the energy defense towers, the defensive net made up of 112 energy defense towers was all set up. Peter spent the whole morning checking the position of each energy defense tower and was extremely satisfied with the high-precision work of the tree spirit. The tree spirit produced by the Tree of life was too powerful. Originally, Peter thought that even if the tree spirit was powerful, there would still be one or two small problems. It seemed that he was worrying too much. Now, the defensive net formed by the 112 energy defense towers was complete. Each energy defense tower required 100 life energy to activate and operate for one day, for a total of 11,200 life energy per day. The Life Tree had reached level 93. [ tree of life ] [ level ] : 93/100. [ life energy ] : 36,500. [ life energy can be used to nurture and level up living creatures. 300 life energy can be used to nurture a living creature. ] [ daily output ] : 17,500 points per day. [ tree spirit ] : 30 points per day. [ short tree spirit, very good at planting all kinds of plants. ] [ Energy Defense Tower ] : construction requires 500 life energy points and 100 units of Energy Crystals. [ time accelerator ] : Used. As the tree of life had reached level 93, the production of life energy had also reached 17,500 points per day. Apart from the constant consumption of over 1,000 life energy points per day, the remaining life energy was enough to sustain the consumption of 112 energy defense towers. However, Peter was still looking forward to what new functions would appear when the tree of life reached level 100. After all, a new skill had been activated when the tree of life reached level 50 last time. Last time, it¡¯s the time accelerator that caused great changes to the island. The most important change was the change in the maturity period of the plants. Otherwise, Peter wouldn¡¯t be able to buy a large amount of goods through the trade window and the mermaid could only wear Peter¡¯s shirt and wander around the island. At this moment, Peter brought the mermaid and the White Tiger, and the little angel was carried by the mermaid. The family came to the beach together. Only from the beach could they see the wonderful moment when the defensive net was activated. Of course, they did not forget about the killer whales. At such an important moment, the killer whales, as one of them, had to witness it together. However, when they came to the beach, Peter was shocked to find that there were a large number of killer whales floating on the sea close to the beach. Even more surprising was that among the group of killer whales floating on the sea, there were a few huge creatures that were dozens of meters long. Could it be that the protection period had been lifted in advance? No, if the protection period had really been lifted, then the group of killer whales would have started attacking the island long ago. If his guess was correct, Peter felt that the large number of killer whales in front of him was probably caused by the killer whale. ¡°Killer whale!¡± Peter shouted at the nearby group of killer whales, attracting a commotion in the group of killer whales. Not long after, the huge head of the killer whale appeared in Peter¡¯s Field of vision, as it swayed its body and quickly swam towards Peter. Peter was worried that the killer whale was too close to the beach and was in danger of being stranded, so he immediately used a hand gesture to stop the killer whale¡¯s behavior. The killer whales let out happy sounds. The mermaid standing next to Peter acted as a translator again. ¡°Peter, the killer whales said that they found a large number of their own kind in the deep sea. Through the communication of the killer whales, the group of killer whales that you see now were persuaded by the killer whales and brought here.¡± However, when Peter heard the mermaid translate the meaning of the killer whales, before he could be happy, he was shocked by what the mermaid said next. ¡°However, the killer whales said that before they brought the other killer whales here, the killer whales promised that they would be given a large amount of life energy, so much they couldn¡¯t even finish.¡± ¡°¡­¡± At this moment, Peter was in a bad mood. He looked at the killer whales with a resentful gaze, and the killer whales pretended to not understand and even deliberately swayed their dorsal fins. It apparently was asking for credit, ¡°See? I brought you so many killer whales!¡± Peter did a rough calculation. Even if one killer whale consumed 100 points of life energy a day, for this group of at least 100, it would consume over 10,000 points of life energy. It wasn¡¯t that Peter couldn¡¯t afford it now, but that the defense net was about to be activated. The entire defense net consumed 11,200 points of life energy a day. This meant that the group of killer whales before him could eat up the defensive net in a single day. However, as the tree of Life¡¯s level increased, it could still store tens of thousands of life energy. It could barely sustain the island¡¯s consumption for a few days. However, this wasn¡¯t a long-term solution. He still had to think of some other way. After all, Peter couldn¡¯t dismiss the killer whales. Looking at the killer whales in front of him acting dumb and cute, Peter was so angry that he laughed. Peter also had other plans in mind. Although these killer whales in front of him ate more than 10,000 life energy every day, one should still have long-term visions. As the life energy produced by the Tree of life continues to increase, they should be put to use. Moreover, more than 100 killer whales were also a non-negligible force for the island¡¯s defense and offense. At this moment, the killer whales also saw Peter¡¯s confusion. They saw the killer whales turn around in the sea, making the killer whales face the group of killer whales. Then, the killer whales took the lead and rushed toward the huge rock that emerged from the sea not far from the island. ¡°What are the killer whales doing?¡± The mermaid asked curiously. However, before Peter could answer, the killer whales led the group of killer whales and rushed to the huge rock, surrounded it, then opened their mouths at the same time and used their sharp teeth to crush the hard rock. A moment later, the huge rock that was exposed to the surface of the sea was broken into pieces by the killer whales with their sharp teeth. At this point, there was no sign of the rock on the surface of the sea. This scene made Peter¡¯s pupils shrink. He was truly shocked by the attack power of the killer whales. Such terrifying destructive power. If the island encountered a sea monster that came to attack after the protection period, or if other humans used their ships and cannons to attack the island, with these killer whales lurking at the bottom of the sea, they would be able to crush them through a surprise attack. It would definitely be very effective. Coupled with the defensive net erected on the island, Peter¡¯s Island would be impregnable. This was the ideal island defense in Peter¡¯s mind. The killer whales did well, and Peter decided to reward the killer whales immediately. Under Peter¡¯s control, a large number of light balls flew out of the Tree of life. These light balls that contained life energy crossed the island, flew to the beach, and flew into the orcas¡¯ mouths. More than 100 orcas in front of the beach collectively entered a state of absorbing life energy. The scene was exceptionally spectacular! Chapter 25 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In the water outside the beach, the orcas were absorbing life energy. Peter left the mermaid and the White Tiger on the beach, waiting for the orcas to finish. The main thing was to wait for the orcas to activate the defense net. Peter wanted the orcas to witness the most exciting moment with them. After a few minutes,some killer whales slowly appeared. They had absorbed all the life energy. After that, a large number of killer whales had absorbed all the life energy. The group of killer whales looked at Peter at the same time. The group of killer whales simultaneously emitted voices, ¡°ou, ou!¡±. This was the group of killer whales thanking Peter for taking them in. After all, the group of killer whales usually could not absorb such pure life energy. Instead, they would float in the deep sea and could only absorb a small amount of life energy in the air of the island world. Their growth speed was also much slower. After all, they¡¯re not the killer whale fed with pure life energy from the tree of life. This made the group of killer whales, who had met the killer whales for the first time, very envious. However, at this moment, the orcas, under the lead of the Orcas, also benefited from the rich life energy. This made the orcas exceptionally happy, and the orcas decided to stay in this area of the sea. The orcas officially joined Peter¡¯s Island. Peter saw that the orcas had also finished absorbing the life energy. He immediately brought the mermaid, White Tiger, and little angel and stood in a line facing the direction of the island¡¯s defensive net. At this moment, Peter opened the interface of the Tree of life. On it, there was an option to activate the energy defense towers. As long as Peter selected it, the 112 energy defense towers would be activated. In order to achieve the effect of activating the energy defense towers at the same time, Peter brought out 11,200 points of life energy ahead of time. A large number of light blobs instantly appeared on the trunk and branches of the Tree of life, shining on the tree of life like a giant tree wearing a golden coat. Peter turned to look at the mermaids and white tigers beside him, then at the killer whales in the sea. The little angel also felt a large amount of life energy in the center of the island. The little guy flew into the air in excitement and kept flapping its little wings, making high-pitched calls out of excitement. Boom! After Peter pressed the button, 112 energy defense towers were activated at the same time. A ring of light suddenly appeared around the entire island. It was like a bustling city in the outside world, lighting up at night, enough to affect the stars in the sky. Peter¡¯s Island was protected by the light from the 112 energy defense towers, the strongest defense net Peter had built when he entered the island world. There were less than two weeks until the 30-day protection period was lifted. Peter still had a lot of planning to do to perfect the island¡¯s defense plan. After all, no one knew what kind of crisis they would face after the 30-day protection period was lifted. Peter also wanted a day left for testing and correction. After that, the tree of life would produce life energy every day, apart from maintaining a fixed consumption. Peter planned to store all the life energy. This way, in the later stages, it could be of great use. At least, this could prevent energy defense towers from being rendered useless from having no life energy. After activating the island defense net, Peter turned it off. At present, the island was still under the protection of the energy layer, so there was no need to keep the energy defense tower open and consume life energy. After that, Peter planned to return to the center of the island and return to the tent to rest. Originally, he wanted to let the mermaid return to the tent together. In the end, the mermaid saw through his bad intentions and planned to stay on the beach to chat with the killer whale for a while. The White Tiger and the little angel also expressed that they wanted to stay on the beach to accompany the mermaid. Peter was very angry, but it was not good to use force openly. Under the mermaid¡¯s provocative eyes, Peter left the beach, and did not forget to turn around and hint to the mermaid when he left. ¡°If you have the ability, don¡¯t come back tonight.¡± ¡°If you dare to come back, I will teach you a lesson tonight.¡± On the way back, Peter used today¡¯s quota for the tree of Life to breed creatures. After he rushed to the tree of life, he skillfully caught the ball of light containing life with his hand. What kind of creature did the tree of life give birth to this time? Now, every time Peter waited under the tree of life to receive it, he felt like he was opening a blackbox. Until the last step, he would never know what kind of creature was in the ball of light in his hand. This process was still very interesting compared to the way other creatures give birth. This would make Peter look forward to it every day. In fact, he still wanted to breed another mermaid-like creature. Apparently, a mermaid was not enough for him to do ¡°that¡± at night. After all, he was absorbing a lot of life force every day, which made Peter¡¯s physical quality much higher than ordinary people. This was not only reflected in his sexual ability. Other changes in his body were also huge: for example, he now wields terrifying physical strength. He could now easily lift a rock that weighed a hundred pounds, something that Peter couldn¡¯t do when he first entered the island world. He had only entered the island world for two weeks, but his body¡¯s strength had reached a terrifying level thanks to the life energy from the Tree of life. At this moment, Peter, who was standing under the tree of life, saw the ball of light containing the life energy in his hand slowly dissipate. The creature that appeared in his palm made Peter¡¯s eyes light up; not mentioning the appearance of the creature, the tree of life actually gave birth to two creatures this time. To be more precise, it should be a pair of creatures. ¡°Are these dragons?¡± Peter saw the two winged creatures in his palm, and the small horns on their heads that symbolized dragons. Peter immediately used his life energy to feed the two newborn little creatures. After a short wait, the two little creatures opened their eyes at the same time. At this moment, the system¡¯s notification sounded. [ frost dragon, Level 1. ] [ fire dragon, Level 1. ] What was going on! Not only did the tree of life give birth to two creatures this time, it was actually two dragon whelps with different attributes. Oh My God! This was going crazy. However, while Peter was happy, he had a bad feeling in his heart. Did this mean that the tree of life was trying its best to build a powerful creature army for itself? The Tree of Life¡¯s actions also meant that after the 30-day protection period was lifted, the island might be attacked by powerful enemies. It was no wonder that Peter had such a thought. The creatures born from the tree of life were each stronger than the last. From the mermaid that was born in the beginning, to the two terrifying dragons born now. One was a frost dragon. The other was a fire dragon. Chapter 26 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Night falls on the island. The mermaid rides the white tiger back to the tent, and in her arms lies the sleeping little angel, who has fallen asleep before dinner. Peter is still sitting at the dinner table, waiting for the mermaid to come back and cook dinner. His taste has been deviated by the mermaid, and he can no longer look directly at the food he makes. This was not Peter¡¯s fault. He was not very good at cooking, but it did not hinder his ability to taste good food. After all, the mermaid did cook great food. Although there was a Class A fruit bonus, many of the ingredients and meat ingredients were purchased from the trade. The mermaid carefully handed the sleeping little angel to Peter. Then, just as the mermaid was about to start cooking dinner, she was shocked by the sudden appearance of the two dragon whelps. The first to appear was the Fire Dragon whelp. The little guy could already spit out a faint dragon breath. It was like a tiny lighter that emitted flames. While cute, it did not lose the innate ability of the dragon race. The next to appear was the Frost Dragon whelp. Its dragon breath was frost. Although it was also a whelp, it could still freeze a spoon. The appearance of the two Dragon Whelps made the mermaid realize that the little angel had a playmate this time. Creatures that also had the ability to fly should be able to play together happily. This was the beautiful fantasy of the mermaid. Only Peter understood that they were not the same creature at all. To be precise, the little angel¡¯s strength was above the two dragon whelps. Don¡¯t forget, the twelve-winged Seraph¡¯s terrifying magic power was something that even dragons couldn¡¯t compare to. Peter was hoping that it would be good enough if the two of them didn¡¯t fight with the little angel. Otherwise, as they grew up, the island wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand their destructive power. The two dragons aside, the twelve-winged seraph alone could easily destroy the island. However, Peter still did not know what elemental magic the little angel was good at. Previously, after the little angel released a fireball to attack the white tiger, she used water magic. A string of water droplets revolved around the little angel¡¯s fingertip, but Peter can feel the limited forces. This made it a mystery what elemental magic the Little Angel was good at. Could it be that the little angel was good at all kinds of magic? That was impossible; at least, it¡¯s not going to be Peter¡¯s top guess. If the little angel was good at all kinds of magic, its grown-up version would wield stunning power. A twelve-winged seraph who was good at all kinds of magic and had heaven-defying magic power could bring a disaster for the entire island world. Peter didn¡¯t want to see the twelve-winged seraph destroy the entire island world with a single move. If that happened, the life energy that filled the island world would be gone. After Peter and the others finished their dinner, the two Dragon Whelps and the little angel tried to get to know each other. Before they went to bed, Peter and the mermaid were surprised to see the Angel actually riding on the back of the Frost Dragon Whelp, with the Fire Dragon Whelp accompanying her. The two Dragon Whelps and the little angel were playing happily in the air. This made Peter jealous. After all, he had never ridden a dragon before. But the Dragon Whelps were only a few tens of centimeters long now, so they could only carry the little angel. Peter had to imagine what he would see in the future when the adult twelve-winged seraph rode the dragon and soared in the sky. How shocking would that be? The night passed without a word. The next day, in the morning. Peter walked out of the tent and saw that the two dragon whelps were still sleeping. He immediately opened the interface of the tree of life and fed them life energy. In this way, the two little ones could receive life energy while they slept. When the two Dragon Whelps woke up, Peter planned to feed them again. After calculating, the two dragon whelps currently need to eat 300 life energy points a day. After breakfast, Peter began to train the creatures born from the tree of life. This did not include killer whales. Firstly, killer whales lived in the ocean and did not need training. Secondly, the killer whales were now the leaders of the group of killer whales. Did the killer whales not care about their reputation? For the entire morning, Peter first trained the White Tiger¡¯s innate divine ability. The ancient White Tiger¡¯s innate ability was to emit a tiger¡¯s roar that could stun the enemy, effectively a kind of sound wave attack that synergizes well with surprise attacks. Imagine, when the enemy appeared, the White Tiger took advantage of its surprise and suddenly released a sound wave attack that would stun the enemy. There¡¯s nothing the enemy could do about it! The White Tiger¡¯s sound wave attack had a direction. As long as he wasn¡¯t standing in front of the white tiger, the effect of the sound wave would be much weaker. Then, Peter trained the little angel to use various elemental magic. This was a very dangerous job. Peter had to keep a relatively safe distance from the little angel. As for the two Dragon Whelps, the training was relatively simple. After all, the two Dragon Whelps had just been born. Peter only let the two dragon whelps practice how to control their dragon breath in the air. For dragons, it was very important to find a good time gap in the air and accurately hit the ground with the dragon¡¯s breath. After training the two dragon whelps how to hit the target with the Dragon Breath in the air, Peter fed the two dragon whelps life energy every once in a while according to the speed of their physical consumption. When Peter fed the two dragon whelps life energy, he was coincidentally seen by the little angel and the White Tiger. In the end, the little angel and the white tiger surrounded Peter and shouted that they wanted to eat life energy. This scene caused the mermaid to burst into laughter. Now, the mermaid¡¯s figure had grown a lot. Standing beside Peter, who was 190 cm tall, she didn¡¯t even appear to be short. Her talents had stabilized: the ability to communicate with any creature and the ability to communicate with sound waves over long distances. These two talents were very useful to Peter. After all, there were many other creatures with extraordinary talents besides those with terrifying strength, which the mermaid belonged to. Powerful creatures also needed to communicate. Take the little angel and the two Dragon Whelps for example. If the mermaids didn¡¯t exist, Peter wouldn¡¯t be able to communicate with them at all. This would drive Peter crazy. For example, Peter wanted the little angel to cooperate with him in training. In the end, the little guy couldn¡¯t understand what Peter meant and suddenly used elemental magic to randomly attack. Peter wasn¡¯t hurt badly, but it shows the importance to have a translator at all times. After lunch, Peter continued to train them as planned. The only difference was that the mermaid didn¡¯t take part in the training, which slightly displeases her. She just naively thought that she was useless. So Peter didn¡¯t let her train with the rest of the group. As a result, Peter carried the mermaid straight into the tent. He would give the mermaid an alternate ¡°training¡±. Chapter 27 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After a night of ¡°training¡± with the mermaid, when the mermaid woke up, she was no longer angry with Peter. She felt that it was good not to train and regretted asking Peter to train her.. Peter was awakened by the system notification saying that the tree of life had reached level 100. This made Peter run out of the tent so quickly that he didn¡¯t even have time to put on his clothes. He ran to the tree of life naked. The height of the tree of life was now impossible to estimate, and could only be judged by the dense branches and leaves because the tree of life¡¯s branches had covered the entire island. Peter had a feeling that if after the 30-day protection period was lifted, the tree of life could cover the entire island¡¯s branches and leaves, and could defend the sky above the island. And the most amazing thing was that Peter could let the Tree of life open a gap between the dense branches. It was like having a skylight function. Then, Peter opened the interface of the Tree of life. [ tree of life ] [ level ] : 100/100. [ life energy ] : 72,650 points. (Life energy can be used to breed and level up creatures. 300 life energy can breed a creature.) [ daily output ]30,000 points per day. [ tree spirit ] : 50 points per day. (short tree spirit, very good at planting all kinds of plants.) [ energy defense tower ] : construction requires 500 life energy points and 100 units of Energy Crystals. [ time accelerator ] : Used. [ special evolution fluid ] : can cause the tree of life to evolve. HMM? Special evolution fluid! Peter was stunned when he saw the new special evolution fluid. The system¡¯s introduction of the special evolution fluid was very simple. ¡°It could evolve the tree of life.¡± Hiss! Peter felt that the simpler the introduction, the more unimaginable it was. After all, this was the reward for reaching level 100 of the Tree of life. How could it be so simple? First, he needed to evolve the tree of life. Peter wanted to see what the tree of life would look like after its evolution. A very ordinary bottle with viscous liquid inside appeared in his hand. Its content had a charming light yellow color and smelled very good, just like the smell of the source of life. Peter walked to the ground of the tree of life. He carefully poured all the liquid in the bottle onto the root of the tree of life. Kacha! Rumble! The trunk of the Tree of life instantly made an unusual sound. It was like a warrior who had long become an adult, gaining strength again. As a result, the rapidly growing strength in his body caused a terrifying change. This was the internal change of the Tree of life. Peter didn¡¯t know how long it would take for the tree of life to complete its evolution. He simply sat down next to the tree of life and waited patiently for it to complete its evolution. At this moment, the killer whales in the deep sea also felt the changes on the island. After all, killer whales were also born from the tree of life. For killer whales, the Tree of life was their source. The mermaid living on the island also felt it. She also ran out of the tent naked. The White Tiger had woken up earlier and had been standing next to Peter. Then, the two Dragon Whelps and the little angel also flew out of the tent. There was also a reaction from the various plants planted on the island. Because these plants had been absorbing life energy for a long time, their essence was no different from the creatures born from the tree of life. At this moment, all the plants seemed to have sensed it. The flower hearts and fruits of these plants were all facing the direction of the Tree of life. Peter and the mermaid discovered this strange phenomenon at the same time. They were very surprised! These were the Class A plants on the island paying tribute to the origin of life. The evolution of the Tree of life seemed to have triggered the will of the island world. The sky, which had been sunny and windy, began to show abnormalities. A five-colored ray of light rose from the horizon and spread rapidly, illuminating the island world with brilliant colors. The evolution of the tree of life attracted the affirmation of the will of the world. At this moment, countless islands in the island world were shocked by the five-colored ray of light in the sky. On every island, not only humans, but even low-level plants and ordinary animals all raised their heads and looked in the direction of Peter¡¯s Island. This was also a tribute to the origin of life, since even the lowest-level plants could feel the power of life spreading from afar. Then, when the multicolored light in the sky slowly disappeared, the humans in the island world went crazy. They¡¯re bound to, given the amount of actions. It was just that they did not know which island caused the strange scene. However, this did not stop them from discussing enthusiastically. ¡°What happened just now? I almost fell into the sea. I¡¯m too excited.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not bad. At least you haven¡¯t fallen into the sea. I was catching a pet on a hill, but I fell straight down. My leg still hurts.¡± ¡°I brought mercenaries in. I¡¯ve already sent a drone to scout in that direction.¡± ¡°F * ck, the Big Boss has appeared. Bring me along. There¡¯s still more than a week before the protection period is lifted. The plants I planted haven¡¯t matured yet¡­¡± At this moment, on Peter¡¯s Island. The mermaid was accompanying Peter. The two Dragon Whelps and the little angel were hovering in the air. The white tiger stood obediently beside the mermaid. Everyone and all the creatures were recalling the shocking scene caused by the evolution of the Tree of life. Then, Peter was the first to regain his senses. He immediately called for the two Dragon Whelps and the little angel. He told them to work hard for the next half a day and fly to the sky above the island to be on guard. Peter gave them a death order. If they saw anything flying towards them, they would destroy it immediately regardless of whether they were dead or alive. Peter had to be wary of the strange phenomenon caused by the evolution of the Tree of life. He knew very well that curious and greedy humans would definitely send flying machines or birds to investigate the direction of the island. An hour later, the first drone appeared as expected, which the little angel effortlessly shot down. When the two dragon whelps saw that the first kill was taken by the little angel, they were so anxious that they spat out dragon breath to vent their dissatisfaction with the little angel. However, the little angel then released two fireballs and chased the two dragon whelps in the air. Until bedtime, the little angel took the two Dragon Whelps and shot down a total of 87 drones and 31 trained birds. Peter cooked for the little angel and the two baby dragons, but the little angel and the two baby dragons still went to the mermaid¡¯s table for dinner. Before going to bed, Peter saw that the tree of life was still evolving. Chapter 28 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The next morning, Peter woke up earlier than usual, for no reasons but concern about the tree of life. After all, the tree of life was Peter¡¯s biggest asset in his ability to defend the island after the 30-day protection period, so he wanted to see anything happened to the tree of life. To take a step back, if there were any problems with the evolution of the Tree of life, it would be a fatal blow to Peter, as that would render the defensive net that Peter had carefully built a decoration. Any issues with the tree of life would also cut off energy supply for the creatures it nurtured, never mind the group of killer whales. After that, the mermaid carried the little angel and the two dragons out of the tent, as the orcas swam back to the shore of the island from the deep sea. The Class A plants on the island were emitting a rich aura of life. All these signs indicated that the evolution of the tree of life was about to bear fruit. Would the evolution of the Tree of life succeed? Peter was very anxious. His gaze was fixed on the tree of life. At this moment, the abnormal noise in the tree of life finally stopped. A golden ray of light appeared from the bottom of the tree trunk, and then quickly spread to the entire tree trunk, then to the branches of the Tree of life. Finally, the Golden Ray of light stopped at the tip of the leaves. [ tree of life origin ] [ life Origin Energy ] : 1000 points. (1,000 points of life-origin energy will give birth to a divine beast.) [ daily output ] : 1,000 points per day. Peter was originally filled with anticipation as he opened the interface of the Tree of life after its evolution. In the end, when he saw the simplified interface of the Tree of life origin, he was a little disappointed. The only difference was that 1,000 points of life energy would give birth to a divine beast. This huge difference made Peter lose his focus for a moment. After all, when the tree of life evolved, it attracted the strange scene of the entire island world. In the end, it only displayed this little bit of evolved ability. Peter was naturally very unhappy. After calming himself down, Peter could only comfort himself. Fortunately, the tree of life had successfully evolved. Not failing was already the greatest blessing. At this moment, the mermaid did not think too much about it because it was a creature born from the tree of life. Regardless of whether the tree of life had evolved or not, she would be very happy. Peter planned to return to the tent to catch up on his sleep. He had woken up too early today. After the initial excitement had subsided, all that was left was a wave of sleepiness. However, just as Peter was about to enter the tent, a notification suddenly appeared in his mind. [ A Class A plant has absorbed the energy of life, and it has undergone a transformation, becoming an Class S plant. ] ? ? ? Peter was stunned. What was going on! A Class S plant? He had never heard of it before. At the very least, when Peter was in the outside world, he only knew that the highest grade of the plants planted on the island were Class A. A Class A plant was the end of the line. This stems not from human consensus, but from the fact that Class A seeds were the highest level seeds discovered in the alien ruins. Now, the system had informed Peter that an S-class plant had appeared. If the outside world knew that there was an S-class plant, it would cause more than a bounty. After a short moment of Daze, Peter finally reacted. He immediately opened the Class S rose to take a look. [ Class S rose ] : randomly obtained hallucinogenic ability after consumption. Vitality increased by 10%. After Peter saw the attributes of the Class S Rose, his previously depressed mood finally improved. Consuming the Class S Rose may cause hallucination, which, while random, can be much more powerful than the hallucination induced by Class A roses, which, based on previous experience, would have been unescapable for Peter had he not developed a much stronger spiritual power compared to ordinary people. Unlike the hallucinating effect of the Class A roses, the illusion created by the Class S roses was more realistic. When Peter approached the Class S roses, he noticed that the mermaid¡¯s eyes were dull and her limbs were stiff, confused by the illusion created by the Class S roses. As for Peter, he didn¡¯t enter the illusion because he had taken the satanic fruit, which could eliminate the negative effects. However, Peter could clearly feel that the food in front of him had changed slightly. For example, the plants in the planting area had become immature in Peter¡¯s eyes. If Peter didn¡¯t know in advance that this was the illusion of a Class S Rose, he would have been shocked and made unexpected moves. It seemed that no matter how powerful the Satan fruit was to eliminate the negative effects, it couldn¡¯t completely eliminate the negative effects of a Class S plant. But then, he expected a Class S plant to act accordingly. Peter walked in front of the mermaid, took out a piece of Satan fruit from his storage bag, and fed it to the mermaid. Not long after, the mermaid also broke away from the environment. Back then, Peter spent 100,000 points to buy a Satan fruit in the trade window. The Satan Fruit had a total of 13 pieces of flesh. Peter ate one piece himself, and now he was giving the mermaid another piece, so there were 11 pieces left. Peter planned to give one piece of flesh to all the creatures born from the other trees of life to ensure that he would be able to effectively protect himself in the future when he encountered the negative effects of other fruits. The otherwise expensive cost was not concerning to Peter at all. To him, the life born from the tree of life had already become a family. After that, Peter went to other planting areas to check. He found that there were two other Class A plants that had become Class S, mangoes and bananas, respectively. After eating the Class S bananas, one would randomly gain the ability to stick together, and one¡¯s vitality would increase by 11%. Side effects? Constipation. This side effect made Peter speechless. As for the Class S mangoes, one would randomly gain the ability to dye, and one¡¯s vitality would increase by 9%. Its negative effects were even more bizarre ¡ª- hair permanently dyed green. After Peter saw the negative effects of an S grade mango, he was very glad that he had bought the satanic fruit. The other Class A plants had yet to mutate into Class S plants. This might be due to the randomness of the origin of life energy. As long as the Class A plant was still within the coverage of the origin of life tree and was constantly absorbing the origin of life energy, mutating was something that would happen sooner or later. Peter was not worried about this. A plant that had mutated into a Class S would gain a different percentage of life force compared to a Class A plant, whose usual vitality increase is 2%. Chapter 29 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Previously, the boss of the Green Leaf consortium had consumed a Class A fruit, increasing his vitality by 2%, or more than two years. Keep in mind, he had a Class A potato that increases vitality more than ability unlike others, such as Class A strawberries that provide addiction-free, permanent positive mood. After all, no person can ever afford to be addicted to Class A fruits, not even those big shots with large amounts of wealth ¡ª- remember, one had an entire island¡¯s Class A plants like Peter. Currently, after the tree of life evolved into the tree of life, the large number of Class A plants planted on the island would mutate into Class S plants. Previously, when the mermaid was shopping in the trade window, Peter had specifically instructed her to buy plenty of low-class seeds. While Class E seeds weren¡¯t cheap in the trading post, it¡¯s only a minor cost for Peter. Peter had the tree spirit plant all the Class E seeds. Of course, the area where the Class E seeds were planted was a little further away from the tree of life. However, after the tree of life evolved into the tree of life, the area covered by the dense life energy had already covered the entire island. Given enough time, the Class E plant would sooner or later become a Class S plant. There was still a week before the protection period would end: Peter expedited his work accordingly. His first priority, upgrade the defensive net made up of energy towers. After the tree of life evolved into the Tree of life origin, Peter discovered that the defensive tower that was originally absorbing life energy had also undergone a transformation. After absorbing life energy, the light emitted by the defense towers after they were activated turned golden. It seemed that the attack power of the defense towers had also increased by a lot. As there were no biological invasions, Peter was still unable to know the attack power of the defense towers after the revolution. Through his calculations, if he wanted to upgrade all 112 defense towers, he would need to consume 11,200 life energy points. Right now, the life source energy output is 1,000 points a day; therefore, he would need 12 days to complete the upgrade of the multiple defense towers. Peter was not in a hurry. After all, the original defense towers had already formed a defensive net. He assigned the tree spirit to start the daily work of upgrading the defense towers. Following that, Peter used the life source tree to give birth to a creature. This time, the birth was different from before, as it¡¯ll be at the level of a mythical beast, and Peter is looking forward to it. A few minutes later, a golden ball of light appeared on the trunk of the Tree of life and landed on his palm. What kind of mythical beast would it be this time? After the golden screen of light dissipated, Peter saw a mythical beast with a human upper body and a horse lower body appear on his palm. A Centaur Mythical Beast! This was the mythical beast that appeared the most in the myths of the outside world. Peter carefully fed it with the evolved life source energy. After the Centaur Mythical Beast absorbed it, it opened its eyes. The little guy kept jumping on Peter¡¯s palm, looking unusually lively. Peter put the centaur on the ground and let the little guy play by himself. At this time, the mermaid appeared with the little angel in her arms. The little angel in her arms saw the centaur on the ground and rushed out of the mermaid¡¯s arms, flying straight towards the centaur. Peter had a bad feeling and immediately went forward to stop it, but the angel had perfected her flight skills and easily avoided Peter, passing through Peter¡¯s arm and flying to the top of the centaur, then sitting on it. Peter saw that the centaur sacred beast could not withstand the little angel¡¯s ride at all. It laid on the ground with its four hooves. He instantly felt the pain of the Centaur Sacred Beast. ¡°Angel! Don¡¯t Bully Your Companions!¡± The mermaid¡¯s face turned pale and she hurriedly stopped him. The poor Centaur Sacred Beast had just been born not long ago, but it had already experienced the world¡¯s malice towards it. Or really the little angel¡¯s malice. The little angel¡¯s biggest hobby now was to ride all kinds of creatures. The dragon whelps, the white tiger (still suffering from trauma from the previous incident), even Peter ¡ª- only the mermaid and the killer whale were exempt. The little angel had a particular interest on Peter¡¯s neck. As soon as Peter appeared, the little angel quickly flew to Peter¡¯s neck and rode on Peter to play. When the little angel was tired of playing, she did not stick to Peter and instead flew into the arms of the mermaid to sleep. Peter walked forward, picked up the little angel, and handed her to the mermaid who ran over. Then, his heart ached as he carried the Centaur Divine Beast into his arms. This time, the Centaur Divine Beast born from the Tree of life was a female, so the upper body of the Centaur Divine Beast was a cute girl. At this time, the Centaur Divine Beast wiped his tears with his small hands and looked at Peter with a very wronged expression, instantly melting Peter¡¯s psychological lines of defense. However, Peter did not really blame the little angel: it¡¯s her playful nature. He could only hug the Centaur Divine Beast and pretend that he wanted to settle the score with the little angel to vent anger for the Centaur Divine Beast. The White Tiger, who was standing not far away, stretched out its claws to cover its eyes, appearing speechless. The two dragon whelps hovering in mid-air flapped their wings and let out dragon roars as they watched the show. In the end, the little angel, lying in the mermaid¡¯s arms, waved her little fists at the two Dragon Whelps, who were so scared that they immediately flew away. After that, there would be a few scenes on the island every day, with the little angel as the main character. Although it gave Peter and the mermaid a headache, they also enjoyed the atmosphere of a family getting together and fighting. In addition, after the changes on the island and the tree of life evolved into the tree of life, its lush branches grew again. Now, the Tree of life covers more than the island. Looking at the signs of growth, it seemed like it was going to cover a wider area. When Peter logged into the chat bar with his smartwatch, he was surprised to find that there was already a huge argument because of his island. Now, there were thousands of requests for Peter to be his friend. Chapter 30 - Madness in the Outside World Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Peter saw that the number of friend requests had reached several thousand. He didn¡¯t even bother to check and ignored them all. Now, the most popular posts on the forum were all about Peter¡¯s Island. The first post had a very eye-catching title, ¡°The World Tree of the island world!¡± When Peter saw this title, he was speechless. World tree? They had only seen the general appearance of the Tree of life and started talking nonsense. However, it seemed that other humans had used aircraft to detect the evolution of the tree of life. This is, after all, inevitable, since the angel and two Dragon Whelps can¡¯t monitor the airspace nonstop. Even if he had the three creatures take shifts, it¡¯s still insufficient for the island¡¯s wide airspace. Peter opened the first post on the forum and exited a few minutes later. Peter realized that not only had his island¡¯s location been exposed, it had also caused a great shock to the outside world. According to the post, the outside world had been unable to contact Peter, causing crazy moves. For this, the outside world¡¯s big consortia and forces had joined together to form a huge navy in the island world with one goal: to take over Peter¡¯s Island. Since Peter was unwilling to stand out and intended to suppress the news, they could only come and rob openly. This was the greed of humans. Prepared to pay for it, Peter thought. The island now was not the same as when Peter first entered. The defensive net on the island was enough to prevent them from landing on the island, nevermind the hordes of killer sharks, powerful creatures and ancient beasts. Peter¡¯s current strength was enough to make him look down on the outside world¡¯s provocations. ¡°Fight me if you dare to, I dare you.¡± Another reason behind Peter¡¯s confidence lies behind the prohibition of thermal weapons, so the outside world couldn¡¯t bring weapons of mass destruction such as thermal weapons or nuclear bombs into the island world. However, intelligent humans would always find a solution. Previously, after those large consortia helped their juniors enter the island world, they usually built warships without cannons to attack other islands. Although it was called a warship, it was actually a ship that used mercenaries. Unlike the warships in the outside world, the warships built in the island world could only use weapons powered by life energy to fight. But turns out, a large corporation discovered that storing life energy in the island world and compressing it into a sealed space could also cause damage comparable to the cannons in the outside world. Of course, this was not something that anyone could do. This technology required a strong technological capability to achieve. The powerful financial groups in the outside world began to build a large number of warships, which made many islands in the island world controlled by the financial groups and the government. This time, when the outside world discovered the abnormality of Peter¡¯s Island, it stimulated their greedy nature. They¡¯re not letting Peter¡¯s Island go. After Peter exited the forum, he immediately sent two dragon whelps into the air to investigate the surrounding waters of the island. He also sent out the killer whales, using the unique diving advantages of the killer whales to increase effectiveness. Peter guessed that a large number of warships belonging to different countries and consortia had already gathered at the periphery of the island, which was the area outside the energy layer, waiting for the 30-day protection period to end. No! Before they attacked Peter¡¯s Island, they would send an envoy to the island to negotiate with Peter. The bandits also needed a face and had to negotiate. As for the result of the negotiation? They didn¡¯t care at all. Of course, if Peter directly peed his pants, raised his hands and surrendered, and was willing to give the island to them to take over, they would like that best. Then the bandits would announce to the outside world that Peter voluntarily gave up the ownership of the island for the help of the evolution of the human race. The bandits would symbolically give Peter a large sum of compensation and a useless title, e.g., the Medal of peace, the title of hero. These were the methods used by the robbers. In fact, this was the world of the jungle. Even in the island world, weakness means oppression. The only way to reverse this is to develop strength. Peter was prepared for this. In the following week, Peter continued to perfect the island¡¯s defense plan. In the following week, the tree of life gave birth to seven powerful divine beasts, but they were still too small. Now that life energy has appeared, the density of life energy is much higher than before.Moreover, the energy that contained the life-origin energy was no longer just to increase the growth process of creatures. It was to improve from the original nature of creatures. For example, the mermaid that was first born from the tree of life, after eating the evolved life-origin energy, its innate ability was improved again. Now, the mermaid was on the island, communicating with all creatures through its unique sonar ability. This greatly increases Peter¡¯s efficiency in commanding creatures in battle. After all, if there were no mermaids, Peter would have to arrange biological missions in advance, and Peter would not be able to change his plans during their execution. This is basically like fighting in ancient times, where command over battlefield dynamics is about nonexistent. In the last week, the island¡¯s defense network has also evolved by more than half. The original 112 energy defense towers have evolved to 70 defense towers. Peter¡¯s priority is to evolve the defense towers close to the Inland Island. Thus, after the protection period, the first thing that the enemy attacking the island may destroy is the unevolved defense towers. Time comes to the last night before the island¡¯s protection period is lifted. The mermaid sat with Peter on the beach and looked into a pitch-black sea with dorsal fins of a group of killer whales undulated with the sea water. ¡°The protection period will be lifted tomorrow. Are you afraid?¡± Peter shook his head when he heard the concerned greetings from the mermaid. ¡°I am! But with you guys here, there is no need to be afraid of anyone!¡± The Angel, who was almost an adult, waved her small fists in the air when she heard Peter¡¯s words. Chapter 31 - Novice Protection Period Ends Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation 30 days on the island world, early in the morning. Peter got up very early, carefully preparing breakfast for all. Just then, there were two loud dragon roars in the sky above the island, from the Frost Dragon and the fire dragon circling above the island. Peter immediately let the mermaid communicate with the two dragons, letting them down immediately. The two dragons flew up into the sky when unsupervised. For the creatures on the island, the last seven days was a time of change. The two Dragon Whelps, originally only about one meter long, grew crazily again after absorbing the evolved life energy daily, having grown to about 50 meters, leading to an unheard of growth rate. Apart from the two giant dragons, the little angel now had two pairs of wings on her back, plus the original pair of wings ¡ª- a six-winged seraph! While still a long way from becoming a full twelve-winged seraph, it did not prevent the six-winged seraph from unleashing its terrifying elemental magic. The White Tiger¡¯s transformation was indeed the greatest. Nurtured by the tree of life and having absorbed the life origin energy, it has transformed into a true ancient divine beast. Now, the ancient White Tiger Divine Beast was more than ten meters long, seeming to tear apart the surroundings with each step. As for the eight divine beasts that had been nurtured after the tree of Life¡¯s evolution. The Centaur Divine Beast¡¯s talent was to control the Earth attribute. It could change the shape of the land on the island and form an earth wall that was dozens of meters tall to defend itself. There were also seven creatures born from the tree of life, or really, seven nature elves, with a special talent to combine into a giant tree elf, excelling in natural magic and capable of controlling all plants on the island. This way, Peter would not have to worry about the Class S plants on the island. Before the battle, as long as the giant tree elves controlled the Class S plants to hide, the attacking pirates wouldn¡¯t be able to do anything. Before the battle started, Peter called the two dragons that were soaring in the sky. His goal was to let the creatures on the island hide first. This way, he could hide his strength and also confuse the enemy. As the time in the island world came to 12 o¡¯clock sharp, the energy layer of the novice islands in the entire island world instantly disappeared, ending the 30-day protection period. Peter rode the White Tiger to a position hundreds of meters away from the beach. Here, a row of small black spots could be clearly seen on the sea level, which continued to grow until Peter could see the mast on the ship clearly. The combined fleet of the outside world began to plunder the island. Of course, as Peter expected, aircrafts were sent. Through the aircraft, they demanded that Peter unconditionally hand over the sovereignty of the island for human¡¯s evolutionary benefits. Peter opened the system interface and activated the defense net, instantly destroying the drone representing the outside world government and major forces with the energy defense towers, completely infuriating the other party. This move completely angered the other party. Hundreds of battleships fired at the island at the same time. The cannonballs that used life energy as explosives whistled towards the island. Buzz Buzz Buzz! At this moment, the defense net on the island activated its automatic defense. Countless rays of light shot into the sky, intercepting the cannonballs that were flying towards the island in mere breaths. After the bombardment, the direction of the fleet was silent. They could not believe that more than 100 warships fired at the same time, yet caused no damage to Peter¡¯s Island. It was unbelievable. Something was wrong! The multinational fleet made up of humans from the outside world started to accelerate towards the island. They wanted to find out what kind of magical weapon was on the island that could block the barrage of shells. At this moment, the fleet had sent out a large number of drones to scout the island. However, from the drone¡¯s perspective, they could only see that the island was covered by huge and luxuriant leaves ¡ª- details were hidden. The fleet moved very quickly. The life energy modified driving device was much more efficient than the steam turbines used by the warships outside. In a few breaths, Peter could already see the huge cannon of the flagship clearly. Peter slowly raised his right hand and suddenly dropped it. Following that, the group of killer whales hiding in the sea rushed toward the fleet at full speed. After the evolution of the Tree of life, the group of killer whales absorbed life energy. Not only did their bodies become bigger, the most obvious change was the weapons of the killer whales, their sharp teeth. The group of killer whales soon met the fleet. Peter raised his binoculars and watched the battlefield. When the group of killer whales rushed into the formation of the fleet, he saw the fleet attacked by the group of killer whales, causing the fleet to panic and its crews to use weapons to counter-attack. Unfortunately, the group of killer whales was plentiful in number and underwater, making counterattacks from battleships ineffective. After about half an hour, Peter saw the warships in the fleet start to disappear on the sea level. This scene was still playing out. More and more warships went silent and disappeared on the sea level. There were a large number of human soldiers floating on the sea level, and many of them were men and women dressed fashionably. These were the rich children and daughters from the outside world that the fleet brought with them. They were supposed to be on vacation. That was because, in their subconscious mind, there was no island in the island world that could resist the attack of a huge fleet. However, the cruel reality struck. Peter¡¯s Island not only neutralized the attack of the fleet, but also destroyed their fleet. They were still unable to understand why this had happened. Right now, their first consideration was how to save their lives. After the killer whales led the killer whales to destroy the fleet, they turned their attention to the humans floating on the surface of the sea. The killer whales did not attack the humans. Instead, they formed a circle and surrounded the surviving humans in the middle, effectively ¡°jailing¡± them. Peter stood on the beach and did not say a word. The mermaid was brought to the beach by the seraph. She stood beside Peter and did not say a word. She just turned to look at Peter. He knew that the mermaid was waiting for Peter to give the order. At the moment, only the mermaid could remotely control the orcas. She was waiting for Peter to give the order. After a moment, Peter took a deep breath and gave the order that terrified the mermaid. ¡°Leave no one alive!¡± This was equivalent to sentencing the humans that survived. Death penalty! Peter had said that he felt that he had the strength to come and rob them. But he had to pay the price with his life. This is the way of the world. Those who dare to invade must be prepared to be destroyed. Chapter 32 - A Sea Monster Siege Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Humans remain adamant about this failure. Discussions on the failure of the human fleet to attack Peter Island immediately began on a crazy scale. ¡°Oh my God! The entire fleet was wiped out.¡± ¡°Haha, those politicians and big corporations have kicked an iron plate this time. serves them right!¡± ¡°What kind of weapon does big boss Peter have on the island? Is It so fierce?¡± ¡°Damn it! The outside governments and consortia didn¡¯t reveal the battle scene at all.¡± As the situation escalated, the humans in the island world were shocked by the terrifying strength displayed by Peter Island. Although the outside governments and consortia deliberately blocked the details of the battle, people weren¡¯t stupid and soon learnt the fleet was destroyed, forcing many to give up thoughts of investigating Peter¡¯s Island. However, after a short period of peace, Peter Island was about to face an even greater challenge. The next morning. Peter had just completed the upgrade of the Tree Spirit¡¯s defense net when he suddenly discovered a large number of sea monsters appearing from the sea level. The first to detect the appearance of the monsters was the killer whale. It led the group of killer whales and was responsible for keeping watch around the island. The huge group of monsters seemed to have gone crazy as they quickly approached Peter¡¯s Island. Among them, not only were there sea monsters, but there were also birds of prey flying in the air. There were not many birds of prey, but every one of them was abnormally strong. The sea monsters still occupied the majority, as they charged at the front. The group of killer whales did not directly rush in to fight with the sea monsters. Instead, they patiently hid in the sea and waited for Peter¡¯s orders. At this moment, Peter sent out the seraph. He did not want to expose all his assets at once. He wanted the seraph to draw the aggro first. The Seraph flew to the front of the sea monsters and fired a series of fireballs at the birds of prey in the sky. The birds attempted to dodge, but the fireballs managed to follow as if they¡¯re missiles. In mere minutes, the last bird to have been targeted crashed into the ocean ¡ª- all untargeted ones already fled. After a week of training, the seraph seemed to be able to deal with these sea monsters with ease. At least the seraph did not receive any damage. Against the sea monsters in the sea, the seraph used the AOE fireball spell. When Peter saw that the angel had cast an AOE fireball spell, he immediately ordered the group of killer whales to charge forward. The group of killer whales charged at the group of sea monsters. They directly relied on their own sharp biting power to fight against the sea monsters. The killer whales shuttled between the sea monsters. Wherever they went, the sea monsters would fall, injured by the sharp teeth of the killer whales. One had to know that the current group of killer whales was different from the sea monsters of the island world, as each of these killer whales had absorbed a purer source of life energy. In terms of defense and attack power, they were far from being comparable to ordinary sea monsters. Just over ten minutes later, the largest number of sea monsters had all been eaten by the group of killer whales. The main contribution was the killer whale bred by the Tree of life, as it¡¯ll focus on a small group and leave nothing but corpses and blood behind. The sea monsters¡¯ corpses sank into the sea. The six-winged Seraph worked together with the orcas in the air. After casting an aoe spell, it could effectively disrupt the formation of the sea monsters. In fact, it could be said that more than half of them were killed by the orcas. Currently, there were only a dozen or so sea monsters on the surface of the sea that were still resisting. After seeing the sea monsters, Peter did not attack rashly. Instead, he asked the mermaid to inform the six-winged seraph not to pursue them. The two sides were in a stalemate. It was not difficult to tell from the formation of the sea monsters their high intelligence, with their large size. The closer the sea monsters were to Peter¡¯s Island, the crazier they became. They were different from the fleets of humans before. These sea monsters were natives of the island world. They were very sensitive to life energy. Moreover, the sirens found that Peter¡¯s Island emitted a strong life energy. It was like a group of drug addicts seeing drugs, allowing greed to override fear. Their goal was to rob the life tree on Peter¡¯s Island or the Class S fruit on the island. If they could obtain the fruit of the life source energy, these sea monsters would evolve again, potentially allowing them to break through to a higher level of mythical creature. For the sea monsters, this was a battle that was risking their lives. If they won, they would obtain the Class S fruit that had advanced. If they lost, they would become a corpse that would sink to the bottom of the sea and be eaten by other sea monsters. ¡°Angel, I¡¯ll leave these sea monsters to you.¡± The mermaid passed on Peter¡¯s order. The sea monsters on the surface of the sea saw the seraph charging over and wanted to activate their innate ability. In the end, the group of killer whales following closely behind the seraph charged directly at the sea monsters on the surface of the sea, not giving them the chance to activate their innate ability. A moment later, the two sea monsters lost their lives under the Seraph¡¯s terrifying attacks. The other surviving sirens also reacted and rushed forward to surround the seraph. Unfortunately, the seraph did not have any elements that she was good at. She was a master of all elements. In an instant, spells of different elements were released from the Seraph¡¯s hands. This was the advantage of the seraph. It could fly, and the birds of prey had long been chased away by it. Now, the air superiority was in Peter¡¯s hands. The number of sirens was rapidly decreasing, and Peter thought that the battle was about to end. Suddenly! A huge whirlpool appeared on the originally calm sea surface. The area of the whirlpool was continuously expanding. What was this? Peter looked at the sea surface in the distance with a surprised expression. Not Good! Peter immediately had the mermaid inform the killer whales to retreat. He had a very bad premonition that something terrifying is under the huge whirlpool. It was different from the sea monsters he had seen just now. Although it was more delicate, it was the kind that was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. After a few rounds of attacks from the six-winged seraph, nearly all sirens are gone. However, the creatures under the whirlpool were not something that ordinary sea monsters could compare to. Peter knew very well how much energy it would take to create a whirlpool in the sea. At this moment, Peter saw a huge tentacle stretching out from the center of the whirlpool. With the appearance of the huge tentacle, the dark clouds in the sky began to increase. It seemed that its appearance had caused a change in the weather of the island world. What kind of monster was it? Chapter 33 - Big Boss of the Island World Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation When Peter saw the huge tentacle that appeared in the center of the whirlpool, his heart was filled with excitement. This was the sea monster near his island. As for the entire island world, who knew how many other sea monsters of this level there were. It is the closest thing Peter has seen to a mythical sea monster. A tentacle of the sea monster hitting the island can cause serious consequences. Peter estimated that the width of the huge tentacle was almost the same as the width of the island. If it hit the island, the entire island would sink. However, the sea monster didn¡¯t seem to do that. Peter guessed that the sea monster was prying the island¡¯s tree of life and wouldn¡¯t destroy the tree of life that contained the tree of life. In any case, Peter was planning to wait and see. This was the first time he was facing such a huge sea monster. He had only seen such an exaggerated sea monster in movies and TV shows in the outside world. At this time, the six-winged seraph could not wait any longer. Peter did not know when, but he noticed that the six-winged seraph had condensed a dazzling ray of light in its hand. This ray of light was different from the elemental fireballs he had seen before. The heat generated by the ray of light caused the seawater below the seraph to boil, generating high temperatures beyond Peter¡¯s understanding. Then, the Ray of light in the Seraph¡¯s hand hit the tentacle of the sea monster. The tentacle of the sea monster was corroded by the high temperature and was rapidly shrinking. The pain caused the sea monster¡¯s body, hidden under the sea, to stir and roll. The surface of the sea was turbulent, and waves dozens of meters high rushed toward the island. ¡°Centaur Divine Beast!¡± Peter shouted loudly. The silhouette of the Centaur Divine Beast appeared behind him. A moment later, the Centaur Divine Beast activated its magic power and raised the ground behind the beach. The earth wall, dozens of meters tall, resisted the impact of the waves. Boom! The waves hit the earth wall, causing the earth wall to tremble. Just as it was about to be unable to withstand the waves, behind the Centaur Divine Beast, the tree spirit that followed behind began to release the stored magic power. Rumble! The Centaur Divine Beast, having been replenished with magic power, activated its magic power and raised two more high walls. It took a total of three high walls before the ferocious waves subsided. ¡°Phew, not bad!¡± Peter let out a huge breath. He had really been frightened by the tens of meters high waves just now. Now that the tree spirits were storing their mana together, the Centaur Divine Beast could rely on the earth walls to withstand such a wave. Following that, the six-winged blazing angel flew to the center of the whirlpool. She continued to release high-temperature rays. The sea monster felt the pain and dived into the deep sea with its huge body, planning to escape. However, Peter knew that this sea monster had an extremely high IQ and would not give up just like that. It was temporarily hiding and looking for an opportunity to kill its way back. After that, the group of killer whales began to clean up the remaining sea monsters. The addition of the seraph sped up the cleaning of the sea monsters, and soon, the remaining sea monsters were wiped out. At this moment, a large number of sea monsters¡¯ corpses were floating on the surface of the sea, which the killer whales did not allow to go to waste. The flesh of these sea monsters contained a large amount of life energy. In just half an hour, the killer whales had cleaned up the remaining sea monsters and the corpses of the sea monsters, leaving behind only seawater dyed red. ¡°Haha, this encounter with the sea monsters has given that group of killer whales a good meal.¡± Through the communication between the mermaid and the killer whale horde, Peter learned some detailed information about the sea monster horde this time, essential to formulating further plans of defense. There were a total of 216 sea monsters and 31 sea monsters attacking the island this time. As for the sea monster that just escaped, it wasn¡¯t counted. However, at this time, other islands were also attacked by the sea monsters, but definitely not as many as the sea monsters that Peter Island attracted. After all, Peter Island had a tree of life and a large number of Class S fruits. Peter then opened the chat bar. He wanted to see if any of the other islands had their defenses broken by the sea monsters. ¡°Have you all defended against the Sea Monsters¡¯ attacks?¡± ¡°That¡¯s strange. Why are there so few sea monsters attacking my island? There are only a few small sea monsters attacking.¡± ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m also very curious. What¡¯s Going On!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you guys know? Most of the sea monsters have gone to attack Peter¡¯s Island.¡± ¡°Is it *the* Peter who destroyed the fleet? That¡¯s too terrifying.¡± Peter was very angry when he saw the message in the chat. Why are all your islands fine? Are the monsters just hunting the lucrative ones? It had been three hours since the monsters attacked the island. Peter opened the trade window, wanting to see if there were any major commodity price fluctuations. When he entered the trade window, Peter saw that there were all low-level seeds and fruits on sale. These people¡¯s islands were probably in the distant sea. Their islands were unfortunate because they were not in the same area as Peter¡¯s Island, meaning many sea monsters attacked. Many islands were attacked by sea monsters and even broke through the island¡¯s defense line. As a result, they could only put the seeds and fruits that they rescued on the trading post for sale to reduce their losses. Many had taken out loans prior to embarking to the island world. Now that the island had been conquered, it meant their entire family had gone bankrupt. Peter didn¡¯t have the time to sympathize with these people. He was here to pick up treasures, buying the items he liked at a low price, specifically low-class plants with special effects. Not long after, Peter found a few very good fruits on the trade bar. [ Class E mushroom ] [ effect ] : after eating, it can remove a small amount of poison in the body. [ price ] : 50 points. [ Class E nut ] [ effect ] : after eating, it can increase a small amount of life energy. [ price ] : 20 points. [ Class E cotton ] [ effect ] : after eating, it can increase a small amount of body surface temperature. [ price ] : 35 points. Peter picked out three relatively good low-grade fruits. Although these e grade fruits were very bad, one must not forget that Peter¡¯s Island had the life source tree. As long as he bought them and planted them on the island, it would not be long before the E grade fruits would turn into S grade fruits. Right now, the average price of the goods on the trading board had dropped by a large margin. This was what Peter wanted to see. He also wanted to destroy the fleet. After exiting the trading platform, Peter bought low-grade seeds and plants and had the tree spirits plant them in an area close to the life source tree. He didn¡¯t need points, so he wouldn¡¯t sell the Class S fruits on the trading platform. If the outside world knew about the existence of the Class S fruits, the humans in the outside world would probably go even crazier. In that case, destroying the fleet may not be enough to keep humanity¡¯s greed in check. Chapter 34 - 034: Protoss in the Island World Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The island itself¡¯s defense didn¡¯t concern Peter as much. Moreover, until now, no enemy had attacked the island, so the defensive net hasn¡¯t demonstrated its strength yet ¡ª- ever so slightly awkwardly an overkill. At this moment, the six-winged seraph, in charge of daily vigilance above the island, landed beside Peter, having made a major discovery: on the outer edge of the island, a sailboat appeared. Peter immediately brought the mermaid and other creatures to the beach. The sailboat showed no signs of stopping and accelerated toward the island. And as they got closer, Peter also found something wrong: the approaching sailboat was strange in shape, and it was much bigger than normal boats. Peter could clearly see a tall and thin human-shaped creature standing on the mast of the sailboat, but it was much bigger than a human. After a while, the sailboat got closer and closer. Peter finally understood why the sailboat was much bigger than ordinary boats ¡ª- the creature was not a human, but a kind of elf-like creature, much larger in size. They were approximately five meters tall and had purplish-black skin all over their bodies. Just by looking at their appearance, they looked similar to the seven giant tree elves born from the tree of life. On the right side of the elf ship was an ordinary-sized sailboat, but the creatures on it were not humans. Peter took a closer look and recognized what the creatures on the sailboat were ¡ª- a group of dwarves. The dwarves were wearing clothes made of animal skin, and their arms and legs were very thick. However, the dwarves were ugly. Peter couldn¡¯t look at them directly. He remembered seeing Dwarves in movies and TV shows. They were quite good-looking. They didn¡¯t look like the dwarves he saw now. Then, Peter looked at another sailboat with elves on it. The elves on the sailboat were all male, but very beautiful. As for whether the Elves looked like this, he didn¡¯t know, and it was hard for him to make an evaluation now. But the more pressing matter now was that Peter would soon meet the elves and dwarves. He didn¡¯t know what their intent of visit, but he didn¡¯t feel any malice: the elves appeared very peaceful. For safety reasons, Peter still signaled to the mermaids beside him that the moment something went wrong, the six-winged seraph must kill all elves and dwarves at once. Just as the island and the sailboat were about to meet, Peter saw the landform of two islands appear in the sky. No! This should be a mirage! It seemed to be the work of the elves. Could it be that the elves¡¯ ships had some high-tech hallucinator? Peter saw an island in front of him on the left and one on the right. The two islands that appeared in the sky looked different from the islands in the island world. While somewhat far away, he could already see the outlines. The shapes of the two islands that suddenly appeared in the air were very strange. One of the two islands had a large number of trees on it, while the other island was full of hard stones. If he guessed correctly, these two islands should be the islands where the elves and Dwarves lived. Right at this moment, a shout came from the dwarf¡¯s ship. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it to be humans. The humans we met last time have already been eaten by us.¡± After the dwarf finished shouting, he didn¡¯t forget to lick his lips with his tongue. He apparently wanted to eat Peter. The six-winged Blazing Angel, in charge of guarding Peter¡¯s head, waved her small fists angrily. ¡°Human, don¡¯t listen to those dwarves¡¯ nonsense. We¡¯re here because of the strong aura of life on Your Island!¡± This voice sounded like a man¡¯s voice, but also a woman¡¯s voice. Peter only felt pure elegance as he heard it. But Peter¡¯s guard is still up. Apparently, elves are easier to deal with than dwarves. Suddenly, an energy bomb was fired from the dwarf¡¯s sailboat, attacking the elf¡¯s sailboat. The elves were not willing to be outdone either. The plants that contained life energy were formed in the hands of the elves, and then they collided with the energy bomb that was whistling over. Boom! White smoke rose between the elf and the dwarf¡¯s sailboat. Peter was also shocked by the sudden attack of the dwarves. They really did start fighting so spontaneously. At this time, the dwarf¡¯s sailboat turned its bow, but it was still affected by quite a bit, and the entire sailboat began to shake. Peter had seen the scene just now very clearly, which meant that these creatures could cast spells! Peter was still uncertain. These creatures were hostile to each other, so why were they piloting the sailboat and sailing together? Some thought later, Peter figured they were heading for the source of life energy, and since neither of them wanted to be slower than the other, they competed in speed. The dwarves stood at the back of the ship and temporarily gave up controlling the ship, wielding short but unusually sharp axes in their hands, belligerently declaring war against the elves. The elves also had the same intention. They immediately activated the magic power in their hands, and soon, a plant more than ten meters tall appeared. At this time, Peter was speechless. They really did fight on his doorsteps. Then, Peter motioned to the mermaid and asked her to tell the six-winged seraph that was hovering in the air to stop them. After the six-winged seraph received the order, it directly released high-temperature light rays and hit the mast of the dwarf sailboat. This was because Peter didn¡¯t want the Angels to kill them; else, they would have already sunk into the sea. This discovery of island-world natives was unprecedented, as humans in the outside world had always thought there were no natives; no intelligent natives, at least. Peter felt that the natives of the island world must have secrets. They are very likely to know the original appearance of the island world. Humans in the outside world had always thought that the island world was a relic left by aliens. However, Peter found the natives of the island world, and he felt that it was not what the outside world had imagined. At this moment, the masts of the dwarf sailboat were destroyed, and they looked terrified. The elves on the other sailboat were also shocked by Peter¡¯s display of strength. Chapter 35 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Peter stopped the fight between the elves and the dwarfs. He did not agree to let the Elves and dwarfs land on the island, since there were too many secrets on Peter¡¯s Island, and it was too important. Unless absolutely necessary, Peter would not let any outsiders land on the island. The elves and dwarfs were frightened by Peter¡¯s display of strength, of course, they would not stupidly insist on landing on the island. However, they begged Peter to give them a few fruits. Peter observed their expressions, and it seemed that they really did not know the value of Class S fruits. He agreed to the elves¡¯ and dwarves¡¯ request, but on one condition: to follow the elves or dwarves to see where they lived. Peter felt that there would be a big secret there. As for the protection of the island, Peter left it to the mermaid. He only needed to bring the six-winged seraph and seven giant tree elves with him. The defense nets and killer whales on the island are more than enough, never mind the unusually fierce ancient white tiger and two giant dragons. After the arrangements were done, Peter boarded the Clipper, previously purchased on the trading board with points, powered by electricity and could usually be charged with solar energy. Carried with him are daily necessities and food, along with the Seraphim and seven giant tree elves. After five days of sailing, Peter followed the elves¡¯ sailboat to its destination. During this time, Peter received a voice message from the mermaid. On the second day after Peter left the island, the sea monsters attacked the island again. This time, the number of sea monsters attacking the island was much less than the last time. The killer whales destroyed the sea monsters¡¯ attack without much effort. After Peter arrived at the island where the elves lived, he found that it was not as desolate as Peter had imagined. After Peter¡¯s inquiry, he found out that the elves had been living here for God knows how long. The elves and the dwarves living nearby had always been in such a hostile relationship. This hostility was instilled from birth for unknown reasons. The ancestors of the Elves and the dwarves each occupied an island. Peter decided to land on the island where the elves lived to have a look. The elves agreed to Peter¡¯s request. There had been humans who had landed on their island before, but they chose to leave in the end. After Peter landed on the Elves¡¯ island, he saw a giant stone statue dozens of meters tall, with exquisitely carved details. Looking at the giant stone statue from any direction, one would be attracted by the patterns on the statue. It was like looking at a priceless piece of art. However, what Peter found most amazing was that the eyes of the statue would always look at Peter as he moved. The elves told Peter that this was a statue of the ancestors of the elves, having been protecting the elves since they were born. However, Peter was extremely shocked because as he walked around the statue, a system notification sounded in his mind. [ power source discovered, can be absorbed. ] Peter was surprised to find that this statue was not the ancestor of the elves. This was the power source of the island world. It¡¯s similar to the tree of life in that they¡¯re both energy sources; the difference was that the tree of life had evolved to the level of the life source, while the giant stone statue in front of him was actually the source of power. Peter pretended to be very casual as he walked around the giant stone statue; but with the system, he was constantly absorbing the source of power. About half an hour later, Peter was no longer able to extract anything so he found an excuse and left. Taking so much power away is bound to jeopardize the normalcy of the statue. As expected, after Peter left the Elf Island, the giant stone statue on the island collapsed, causing a wave of panic among the elves. Peter did not know what would happen to the elves after they lost the protection of the giant stone statue, but one thing was for sure. After Peter obtained the source of power, his physical fitness had been greatly strengthened. Peter¡¯s flattered. He felt that the strength in his body could even be compared to that of a dragon. On the way back, Peter learned the reason behind the elves¡¯ sailing was mainly because of food shortages. They only have fruits they planted themselves. It was not that Peter had not paid anything. He had left several Class S seeds for the elves, whose power he believed would soon be found out by the elves. The elves are in need of the power-strengthening fruits the most, yet they have the hardest time getting them. It was the same for the dwarves, so their two races would often meet in the sea, teased each other, but ended up with no major battle since nobody can guarantee annihilation. After a week of sailing, Peter finally returned to the island with the seraph. Looking at the island from the ship, Peter missed the mermaids very much. At first, Peter was wondering if he could take an elf beauty away from the island and wander around the island world with her. Now it seemed that there was no need for that. First of all, ignoring the issue of whether the elves were willing or not, a mermaid was already difficult to deal with, and he needed no more fuss. The elves loved peace, and the Dwarves had always wanted to occupy the elves territory. The two sides had been fighting for God knows how long. In fact, the two sides had always been fighting, mainly because they were of different races. According to the legends of the elf race, as long as they met the dwarves, the elves¡¯ energy would be stolen. However, the elves had always been bitterly defending, and they were too kind. There was no right or wrong in that. In fairness, the dwarves only wanted to give their people a better life. If they were humans, they would not be any better than the dwarves. Peter returned to the island. The mermaid was very surprised. She hugged Peter. The angel rushed to the mermaid¡¯s arms and gave her a big hug. In fact, Peter had been trying to close the gap between him and the angel when he went to the island. However, the Angel was very simple and did not understand the relationship between a man and a woman. Peter was too embarrassed to go head-on in view of the Angel¡¯s power. As for the attacks that the island received after Peter left, there was no problem. They were all neutralized by the mermaid and the group of killer whales. Of course, the two dragons were the ones who were the most angry. They were basically spectating the battles. Peter felt that the appearance of the two dragons had too great an impact. Unless it was absolutely necessary, it was better to not let the two big guys make a move. Chapter 36 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After Peter returned to the island, he called for the orcas. He planned to let the orcas dive to the bottom of the sea to salvage a few large chests that he had found before. He anticipated treasures: after all, in the outside world, a lot of movies and TV shows were like this. However, when the orcas took half a day to bring a few chests to the beach, Peter opened all the boxes and only found a rusty broken sword. He was very disappointed. Peter was too lazy to take out the rusty sword, but the mermaid bent down and took out the sword from the bottom of the box. ¡°I think this sword looks pretty, here!¡± The mermaid played a joke on Peter and threw the sword in her hand to Peter. Peter had no choice but to reach out and catch the sword thrown by the mermaid. At this moment, the system notification sounded again. [ sword of the ocean ] [ quality ] : god-tier [ durability ] : 0/100(can be repaired with life origin energy) Peter immediately used life origin energy to repair the sword of the ocean. The repaired sword of the ocean changed its rusty body and emitted a dazzling sword light. This was the ocean sword that Peter wanted. Supplementing with Peter¡¯s power source and its sword aura, it can deal with two ordinary sea monsters. According to Peter¡¯s current ability, if he went to the island where the elves lived or the island where the dwarves lived, he could do so as he saw fit. There was no trouble at all. Peter was very confident now. While others were still unable to protect their islands, Peter already had so many methods that he could instantly kill an ordinary sea monster. Even powerful sea monsters can wield at most some average fish around, yet Peter had a diverse set of powerful beasts. Although he had a shocking trump card, the consumption of the tree of life origin also increased a lot. In the few days after returning to the island, every day during the day, sea monsters would attack the island with sea monsters. However, the sea monster that had been beaten away by the six-winged seraph did not appear again. Peter did not know where that big fellow had run off to, but likely to increase its strength or wait for an opportunity. During this week, Peter had also looked at the forums and chat zones, and although the number of survivors had been declining, it was much slower than the previous week. It was possible that after dodging the sea monster¡¯s attacks, the strength of those who survived could not be underestimated. As the number of attacks of the sea monsters decreased, Peter found a lot of people discussing the group event released by the island world. After exiting the forum, Peter also received a notification from the system. [ group mission ] [ deep sea octopus ] : find and kill the deep sea octopus monster to obtain mana source. Every 1,000 people will be allocated to the Demon Island. The first to kill the deep sea octopus monster will obtain mana source. Other participants will receive points as rewards. ] Once this announcement was made, the humans in the island world were in an uproar. The lowest reward for the participants was points! However, they were not fools. Such a generous reward was definitely very dangerous. They may even have to risk their lives! Peter was very surprised. He did not care about the points reward, but was surprised that the will of the island world actually took out the mana source as a reward for killing the deep sea octopus monster. It seemed that this island world was not what people had imagined. Suddenly issuing a group mission? Could it be that the will of the island world had encountered a crisis that could not be resolved? Peter planned to invite a few more people to participate in this group mission. After all, he did not feel very good in his heart. Following that, Peter contacted his two good friends, Hawk and Eric. Peter said, ¡°Are the two of you there? Did you see the information released by the island world?¡± Eric said, ¡°Yes, I did. I didn¡¯t expect there to be such a large-scale group mission. I really don¡¯t understand what the island world is trying to do.¡± Hawk said, ¡°Then should we go? Or should we wait and see?¡± Peter said, ¡°I think we should go and take a look. We can quit at any time anyway. The three of us should form a team first.¡± After Peter finished typing, he formed a team with the other two before opening the passage to Demon Island. Actually, Hawk and Eric were also very curious about Peter inviting them to join. After all, Peter¡¯s has a great reputation that can excite even former classmates. As the three of them entered the portal, when they woke up again, the three of them were standing on their respective ships, specially provided by the island world for the participants. Peter looked at Hawk and Eric respectively. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to be teleported here directly this time.¡± Eric had calmed down from his excitement. He looked at Peter and Hawk and said, ¡°Look at the smartwatches on your wrists. Since we entered here, the number of people has been increasing. Why don¡¯t we see the deep-sea octopus?¡± Hawk pointed at the huge pillar in front of them and said, ¡°Look over there. There are still many ships. It seems that they are all people who have been teleported here.¡± Just as the three of them were discussing, the smartwatch showed that the current number of people had already reached 1,000. [ island world reminds participants: the countdown is one hour. No one may exit during this time. The deep-sea octopuses will appear on Demon Island. You will receive a reward for killing the deep-sea octopuses. Humans who cause damage will receive a reward for points. ] In other words, the countdown would start when the number of participants was full. From now on, withdrawals are not allowed. Eric looked at the participants around him. ¡°Have you noticed that the range of activities of the participants this time is not very large, causing the participants to be very close to each other, and only a very short distance from Demon Island in the center?¡± Hearing this, Peter nodded and said, ¡°You are right. After we find the deep-sea octopus, we will immediately end the battle. I have a bad feeling about this.¡± The three of them were ready. Not only them, but all the people on Demon Island had the same thought. The participants were not stupid. They could see that the area this time was very small, and even the way to retreat was covered by the light curtain. There exists no retreat. In the remaining one hour, the participants were not idle. Each of them sat in their own boat, on high alert. Some of the Braver Ones had already steered the sailboat towards the demon island in the middle. However, it seemed that they did not find anything in the end. In the end, they returned to their original positions because the system had clearly stated it. The first place where the deep-sea octopus monster appeared was on Demon Island. In the space of Demon Island, the entire sky was dark. Thunder and lightning flashed across the sky from time to time, adding a bit of mystery to this dimensional space. Chapter 37 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation At this moment, the chat was discussing the mission on the Demon Island. ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but I have a bad feeling.¡± ¡°But fortunately, there are 1,000 participants. This demon island space can still be challenged.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what the deep sea octopus looks like. It Can¡¯t be an enlarged version of a giant octopus, right?¡± ¡°Not to mention, I saw a person who entered the island world on the forum before who encountered the deep-sea octopus and luckily escaped.¡± Peter pondered after reading the discussion. He had actually seen the deep-sea octopus before. It was the sea monster that the six-winged seraph had injured. The difference? It, not Peter, was lucky and escaped in the end. Compared to the posts in the forum, he preferred to watch others chat in the chat zone. After Peter read the content of the chat, more than half of the time had passed. There were only 10 minutes left before the appearance of the deep-sea octopus. Everyone in the sea area was nervous. Huh? Why is it still raining here? Peter looked up at the sky. He noticed that the dark clouds above Demon Island had formed a vortex, as if they were about to form a tornado. This was the same scene as when he first saw the deep-sea octopus monster. The appearance of the deep-sea octopus monster would cause a change in the weather. ¡°The wind is rising!¡± Peter found that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the rain in the sky was also beginning to become denser. When the countdown reached the last minute, the first thing that appeared in front of everyone was a huge tentacle. It swayed wantonly in the air, like a towering giant tree waving its thick branches in the air. When the countdown ended, the entire deep-sea octopus monster was wrapped around the pillar in the center of Demon Island. ¡°WUUUUU!¡± The deep-sea Octopus Monster opened its big mouth and roared angrily. [ island world reminds humans: The Hunt has begun. Everyone, please do your best to kill the deep-sea Octopus Monster. ] After the island world gave the notification, the deep-sea Octopus Monster¡¯s body began to rotate, starting its attack towards Peter¡¯s location. Everyone could clearly see the movements of the deep-sea octopus, which they could not match in terms of strength. The tentacles of the deep-sea octopus were its most powerful weapon. Peter was the first to speed up and rush forward. The ships deployed by the island world were powered by life energy. At full speed, he arrived in front of the deep-sea octopus monster. The deep-sea octopus monster¡¯s thick tentacles were dancing wantonly without a fixed target. As long as it was within the attack range of the tentacles, it would be attacked by the deep-sea octopus monster. At this moment, Peter held the ocean sword in his hand. Relying on the majestic power source in his body, he swung the ocean sword in his hand. Rip! The tentacles of the deep-sea octopus monster were cut off by the ocean sword. This scene was witnessed by the surrounding participants. They looked at Peter in horror. Who was this guy? Why did he have such terrifying strength that he could actually cut off the tentacles of the deep-sea octopus monster. One had to know that every participant who could enter a group mission had their own protective means. Take Peter¡¯s two classmates for example. Although Hawk¡¯s family wasn¡¯t as heaven-defying as the Kelly family, it could be considered a financial group. The trump card that allowed him to enter the island world was the high explosive energy gun that his family had spent a lot of money to buy for him. As for Eric, he was even more powerful. His family had obtained a fruit that was genetically enhanced. His strength was definitely not to be underestimated with his genes enhanced. However, when they saw Peter cut off the tentacles of the deep-sea Octopus with only one sword, they were extremely shocked. Among the participants, only the two of them knew Peter¡¯s true identity. The other participants did not know that Peter had also entered Demon Island. After Peter cut off the tentacles of the deep-sea octopus, he did not stop. He knew that cutting off one tentacle was useless since it had 8. His target was the brain of the deep-sea octopus monster. The power source in Peter¡¯s body released energy at full force. He jumped up and aimed at the brain of the deep-sea Octopus Monster. All the participants in the demon space looked incredulous. They watched as Peter waved the ocean sword and stabbed into the brain of the deep-sea octopus monster. Woo Woo Woo! After the deep-sea octopus monster let out a miserable cry, its huge body quickly sank into the pitch-black sea water. Peter had killed the deep-sea octopus monster! [ Congratulations, human Peter, for killing the deep-sea octopus monster and obtaining the origin of magic power. ] Boom! All the participants in the demonic space were silent. Even the outside world knew that Peter had killed the deep-sea octopus monster at the same time. Eric said, ¡°I¡¯m dumbfounded. Peter, you¡¯re too fierce.¡± Hawk said, ¡°If Peter hadn¡¯t killed the deep-sea Octopus Monster, we would all have died here.¡± In the end, Peter left the demon space with Hawk and Eric, driving his speed boat towards the island. After returning to the island, Peter checked the magic power source in his body. This was an ability that could increase magic power and possess elemental power. Just like the seraph, it could use elements to construct fireballs or other elemental attacks. After a simple dinner in the evening, he pulled the mermaid back to the tent. The next day, at noon. Peter did not know what happened after he left. Right now, he only wanted to patrol the island to see if there was any defense that he had missed. When he arrived at the beach, he found a monster resting in the middle of the island. It seemed to be a meatball, but Peter could not tell what it was. He estimated that the meatball was about 500 meters in length and width, and the meatball was right in the middle of the island. Was this a dragon whelp born by a giant dragon? It was very likely! Peter saw that the cracks in the meatball began to expand, and then a dragon claw stretched out. However, judging from the size of the dragon claw, this dragon whelp was a little big. After all, the two dragon whelps were born from the tree of life while this one comes from a fetus. No! Didn¡¯t giant dragons give birth to dragon eggs? How could it be a big meatball? Peter immediately called for two dragons, but after talking for a long time, he still didn¡¯t understand what was going on. Peter had no choice but to let the mermaid communicate with the Dragons. The mermaid told Peter that the two dragons happened to be a male and a female and this baby dragon was born by the two dragons. Peter found this amazing, but he didn¡¯t know what element the baby dragon born by the two dragons belonged to. With this question in mind, Peter began to observe the baby dragon. Just as Peter approached the Baby Dragon, a system notification sounded in his mind. [ found the divine baby dragon ] Chapter 38 - The Divine Dragon Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Divine Dragon! It was actually a divine dragon. Peter looked at the baby divine dragon and fed it with life origin energy. The two dragons guarded the baby dragon, and the mermaid reached out to stroke the baby dragon¡¯s head. ¡°This little guy looks different from mom and dad.¡± Peter shook his head when he heard what the mermaid said. ¡°Of course it¡¯s different. This is a holy dragon. The shape of its horns is different from theirs.¡± After the Baby Holy Dragon finished absorbing the life origin energy, it opened its dragon eyes. The first thing the little guy saw was Peter¡¯s figure. This made the two dragons snort in jealousy, as they¡¯re fed meat while the divine dragon whelp now enjoys life-origin energy. Because of this, a dragon quickly rose into the air and left the island. The mermaid shouted at the dragon. ¡°Come back! Don¡¯t leave the island.¡± At this moment, after seeing the dragon fly away from the island, Peter vaguely guessed the dragon¡¯s thoughts. He spoke out to stop the mermaid. ¡°Let it go, it¡¯ll be back soon.¡± The mermaid looked at Peter in confusion. ¡°Really? How did you know it would come back? I thought the dragon was angry and left us.¡± About an hour later, the shadow of the dragon appeared in the sky. It seemed that it was still holding something with its claws. It was not until the dragon landed on the island that Peter and the mermaid saw clearly. It turned out that the dragon went hunting and actually caught a sea monster, appearing to be shark-type. The dragon tore the sea monster into pieces with its sharp claws and then fed the pieces to the divine Baby Dragon. The little guy also smelled the meat and opened his mouth to swallow it. Peter and the mermaid were flattered. It seemed that the dragon was training the baby dragon to be sensitive to meat. A life energy diet would be beneficial for their growth, but it wouldn¡¯t develop hunting and aerial combat skills. Over the next week, Peter would occasionally kill the sea monsters that surrounded the island on the beach. He would also occasionally sail out to the sea to search for other life energy. Currently, the origin powers that Peter possessed were:. Life origin powers. Power origin powers. Magic origin powers. Apart from life origin powers, the other two types of origin powers were the rewards that Peter received from completing the missions, released occasionally by the island world. It had been a while since the last time he killed the deep-sea octopus. Peter had a hunch that the island world would issue another mission soon, and it was very likely that it would be a group mission. As expected, the mission soon came. This time, it was different from the last time, during which they entered the demon space to kill the deep-sea octopus. Instead, the island world had launched a group of sea monsters to attack the island. This was not the group of sea monsters that besieged the island before. They were all composed of sea demons. As time passed, the creatures on the island had grown up. Two pairs of wings grew out of the back of the six-winged seraph. With the addition of the three pairs of wings from before, the seraph now had ten wings. It¡¯s now one step away from the twelve-winged seraph. The one that had changed the most was still the Holy Dragon. Peter called for the Holy Dragon. When the Holy Dragon stood up, its height instantly reached 13 meters. He looked at the Holy Dragon¡¯s body and began to calculate silently. This height was already there. Its body was about five to six meters wide, and its tail was five meters long. At this point, it¡¯s already close to the size of the two dragons. Peter was still looking forward to the Holy Dragon¡¯s growth. After all, the Holy Dragon was too famous. When Peter was in the outside world, he liked to watch dragon-themed movies and TV shows. He was very interested in the strength of the Holy Dragon. Now that the Holy Dragon¡¯s body had begun to take shape, there was no problem for it to carry the weight of a person. ¡°Holy Dragon, take me to the sky and fly around!¡± ¡°Ang!¡± The Holy Dragon let out a loud dragon roar and lowered its head. Peter grabbed the Holy Dragon¡¯s horn and climbed onto the Holy Dragon¡¯s back. Then, the Holy Dragon flapped its wings and flew up into the sky with Peter. Peter estimated the length of its wingspan and found that it was almost 30 meters long, necessary to lift the Holy Dragon¡¯s huge body up into the sky. The height of the flight directly rose to a height of 100 meters. The strong airflow forced Peter to keep his mouth shut. After flying a few rounds in the sky, Peter finally let the Holy Dragon land on the island. After all, flying on the island for a long time was a little exhausting for the holy dragon ¡ª- it¡¯s still young. ¡°Very good. As long as you are here, I will definitely be able to defend the island in tomorrow¡¯s attack and defense battle.¡± The Holy Dragon could understand what Peter was saying and happily responded with a dragon¡¯s roar. ¡°Roar!¡± Peter planned to enter the chat to see the reactions of the humans on the other islands. ¡°I¡¯m Dizzy. What is the island world doing? This time, they are releasing a mission for the sea demons to attack the island.¡± ¡°Yeah, we can¡¯t defend against them at all!¡± ¡°I guess only that big boss can defend against the sea demons¡¯ attack this time.¡± ¡°You¡¯re talking about Big Boss Peter, right? Last time, we were besieging the deep-sea octopus monsters in the demon space. If it weren¡¯t for big boss Peter, we would have all died in there.¡± ¡°This time is different. Those sea monsters attack every island with humans. Big Boss can¡¯t help us.¡± ¡°Hey! Let¡¯s go back to the outside world. My Island can¡¯t defend against the Sea demons¡¯ attacks anyway.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve put the fruits on the trading board. The island can¡¯t be defended anymore. Is there any rich person who wants to buy the fruits?¡± Peter looked at the messages on the chat board for a while. He left without any interest. As for saving people? He didn¡¯t have the time. The island world was cruel. Without absolute strength, it was better to go back to the outside world as soon as possible. The next morning, Peter woke up and waited for the system¡¯s news. Today was the first wave of the defensive battle, so he had to be fully prepared. In fact, before this, after everyone returned from the demonic space, all the participants were discussing the issue of today¡¯s defense. What kind of demons would come in the first wave? After all, the island world only talked about sea monsters, but there were differences between sea monsters. Powerful sea demons were no less powerful than deep-sea octopus monsters. There was no final conclusion on the forum. Peter just looked and didn¡¯t say anything because he had powerful creatures. He wouldn¡¯t worry about the defense of the island at all. There was nothing he could do about it. Not to mention the powerful creatures on Peter Island, Peter himself was already very powerful. Chapter 39 - The Madness of Sea Demons Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation An hour before the last battle of the island. Peter carefully checked the position of the defensive net and the Class S fruits on the island. The seven giant tree elves could move the Class S plants to a safe position, which could greatly reduce the loss of the island should raids reach the island. [ island world reminds humans: in 10 minutes, the sea monsters will attack the island. Please be prepared. ] [ the number of sea monsters attacking each island this time is 300. Humans who have given up on resisting, please leave the island world within 10 minutes. ] ¡°No Way, 300 sea demons? Oh My God, is this island world trying to chase away all the humans?!¡± ¡°Crazy! Crazy! I thought it was already scary enough to have a few sea monsters, but it turned out to be 300 sea demons!¡± ¡°There are only five minutes left. I¡¯ll retreat first. I don¡¯t want to die here.¡± ¡°Not even those people with support of the consortium probably can resist the attack of 300 sea demons this time!¡± There were less than five minutes left to retreat. Peter had been reading the contents of the chat area. His Island¡¯s defense was still fine. Last time when the sea monsters attacked the island, although most of them were ordinary sea monsters, there were only a few dozen sea demons. This time, there were 300 sea monsters, which was a lot more in number, but keep in mind the growth of Peters¡¯ creatures. A teng-winged seraph, a holy dragon ¡ª- they can keep an island safe themselves! Unless the 300 sea monsters completely disregarded the Class S fruits on the island and rushed to destroy everything, they wouldn¡¯t pose any threats. At this time, Peter came to the center of the island, i.e., the lake. He told the mermaid to stay in the safe area beside the lake, and also asked the white tiger to stay behind to protect the mermaid. If the ten-winged seraph and the orca group couldn¡¯t kill all the sea monsters on the sea, Peter would have to wait until the sea monsters came ashore. When they do, there would be energy defense towers and the Holy Dragon to handle them. For the Holy Dragon, any flying demons coming up are delivering themselves to doom, as a dragon breath can slain most anything. Peter was not very worried about the threat from the sky. It was just that Peter was afraid that the high-temperature light shot by the ten-winged seraph would blow up the island, so he did not let her guard the mermaid. The few minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the time for the sea monsters to attack the island had finally come. The formation formed by 300 sea demons started to attack the island from all directions. Peter rode on the back of the Holy Dragon and kept a close eye on the attack of the defensive net. So far, so good. Before the sea monsters could fully come ashore, they were killed by the island¡¯s energy defense tower. Only a small number of the sea monsters managed to escape the attack of the energy tower, and those that did were killed by the ten-winged seraph. As for the killer whales that were hiding in the sea, they did not participate in the defense. The reproduction of the killer whales needed time, and Peter did not plan to sacrifice the killer whales unnecessarily. Who knew what mission the island world would issue next? Letting the killing whales go into active combat is a poor decision, as they¡¯re a very precious defensive resource that Peter plans to conserve for evolution and further investments before further combat. Knowing this clearly, he rode on the Holy Dragon in peace. Given the large number, individual sea demons begin to concentrate for additional rounds of assault. This, however, is no threat to the energy defense towers. Now, it was only a matter of time ¡ª- half an hour, as it would turn out ¡ª- before the first wave of sea demons were eliminated. However, things were not that simple because the second wave of 500 sea monsters had appeared. Since they¡¯re ordinary, they¡¯re easily purged in another 30 minutes. The only thing Peter was worried about now was the problem of life power. While highly effective, the energy defense towers consume massive energy. It had only defeated the second wave of sea monsters, and one-third of the energy stored in the defensive net had already been consumed. The third wave, this time 1000 sea demons strong, with high-level demons among them, was approaching. Peter estimated that there were 10 sea monsters that were about the same size as the deep-sea octopus monster. These 10 sea monsters commanded the sea monsters and divided into four groups, attacking from four directions on the island. In the sky, Peter was riding on the Holy Dragon. Behind him were two dragons, the Frost Dragon and the Fire Dragon. The three dragons kept spitting dragon breath at the sea monsters below. Some of the sea monsters were either burned into ashes or frozen into ice sculptures. But only the Holy Dragon¡¯s attack was the most direct. The Dragon Breath of the Holy Dragon was a wind element spell. Its dragon breaths are like sharp wind blades rapidly cutting the siren¡¯s huge body, polluting the sea with red blood from cuts and filling the atmosphere with an unpleasant smell of blood. This was a one-sided massacre. Peter did not know how the will of the island world would feel when it saw this scene. If humans wanted to get rewards in the island world, they would have to pay with their lives. However, the will of the island world had been maintaining a balance point. As long as humans didn¡¯t go too far, the will of the island world wouldn¡¯t interfere. It wasn¡¯t until Peter¡¯s appearance that the balance of the will of the island world tilted. Peter was absolutely certain that his island had attracted most of the sea monsters when he launched the sea monsters¡¯ attack on the island. This attack was not aimed at just one area, but the entire island world¡¯s sea monsters were rushing to attack his island. Because of the existence of the life origin tree, many sea monsters wanted to plunder it crazily. Peter was not afraid of the attacks of any sea monsters. At this moment, seven giant tree elves erected earth walls that were dozens of meters high on the four sides of the island. Then, the Centaur Divine Beast began to release an illusion attack. Many of the sea monsters that were already near the beach entered the illusion and were directly killed by the energy tower. The formation of 1,000 sea demons besieged Peter Island for more than half an hour, but they were still unable to get close to Peter Island. In the face of absolute strength, all tactics were like tigers made of paper. Peter discovered a problem through the attack of the sea monsters this time. The sea monsters in the island world reproduced very quickly. It hadn¡¯t been long since the last sea monster horde, but a large number of sea monsters had gathered. The natives of the island world had a unique advantage. In an hour, Peter led his creatures and killed 1,000 sea monsters. The island world¡¯s notification appeared at the same time. [ congratulations to Peter for successfully defending. ] [ rewarded: 500,000 island world points. ] Chapter 40 - Peter’s Bold Plan Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After Peter¡¯s defense was successful, a large number of siren corpses floated around the entire island. Peter¡¯s pleasantly surprised by the 500,000 points awarded by the island world. In view of that, Peter came up with a bold plan. Since the island world rewarded him with a lot of points, could he use the points to buy all the low-level fruits on the trading board? Peter planned to take over the islands of other humans. After the sea monsters from the island world besieged the islands, it was believed that many of the islands had been taken over by the sea monsters. A large number of ownerless islands were idle. According to the rules of the island world, after some time, these ownerless islands would go to the next batch of newcomers. What Peter had to do was to occupy the island before newcomers arrived. According to the rules of the island world, occupying someone else¡¯s island required a creature. In other words, Peter had to send a creature to the desolate island before it would be recognized by the island world¡¯s will. Peter did not expect that it would be the points directly rewarded by the island, but this was also good. Now, Peter wanted to contact his friends, but it would have to wait. While Peter had spent an hour successfully defending against these monsters, others needed more time, so he waited out. It wasn¡¯t until after lunch that Peter opened the chat bar. After all, it was already noon. It had already been three hours. No matter what, Hawk and Eric should have successfully defended. Peter said, ¡°What¡¯s the situation now? I haven¡¯t contacted you because I was afraid that I would delay your defense of the island. It should have been settled by now, right?¡± Peter knew the family background of these two students. They had the support of a financial group. Moreover, Peter¡¯s island was attacked by many sea demons, leaving less for others¡¯ islands. Eric said, ¡°It settled half an hour ago. It took a total of two hours.¡± Hawk said, ¡°Eric and I were done about the same time. We¡¯re preparing lunch right now!¡± Peter said, ¡°Looks like your family has prepared a very powerful weapon for you.¡± Hawk said, ¡°We took two hours. You¡¯re so powerful ¡ª- you must be faster than us.¡± Eric said, ¡°Take a look at the post-war statistics released by the island world. The number of survivors in the island world has dropped a lot because of this defensive battle. It seems that it¡¯s still quite dangerous.¡± Peter opened the information notification on his smartwatch. [ island world announcement: 68,145 people from the island world. ] Only then did Peter notice that this wave had directly eliminated more than 100,000 people. Scary, indeed ¡ª- this is irrespective of the number of extenuating circumstances. This number of deaths was indeed stunning, but Peter had no way to stop it. This was everyone¡¯s choice. Since they had chosen to defend, they would lose if they failed in the end. After the three of them chatted for a while, they each went to do their own things. Peter also told his thoughts to his two classmates. Peter wanted his two classmates to join his island. Only in this way could they occupy other islands and not be restricted by the rules of the island world. He and the Holy Dragon were a little tired from today¡¯s battle. Compared to the previous two battles, it was indeed a little stressful. However, Peter could feel that the two classmates were seriously considering his idea. At least with Peter as the leader of the island, they would have a much easier time in the next defensive battle. Moreover, Peter also offered a very attractive deal. A free energy tower. Although they hadn¡¯t seen the power of the energy tower, it didn¡¯t stop them from using their brains. Any non-stupid brains can figure out its value. Why could Peter¡¯s Island defend against the attacks of the sea monsters? Moreover, Peter used the shortest time to kill a large number of sea monsters. This was enough to explain many problems. The energy tower also relies on the tree of life¡¯s energy support, allowing Peter to effectively seize their lifeline. This works well if the contract is observed, but should they choose to break from the deal, Peter can cut off the energy supply and turn their towers into useless decorations. As for the cost of helping them build the energy tower, it was still a little high. Don¡¯t underestimate the cost of building energy towers. In fact, it was still very expensive. Even though everyone was relatively rich now, the amount of energy needed remained considerable. One, however, is still within range. Peter¡¯s 112-tower network may as well cost others an astronomical sum. The price of an energy tower was about 500 points, mainly the consumption of life energy and energy crystals. Of course, it requires labor as well. While the labor of the tree spirit could not be counted, Peter had to charge a fee. Peter¡¯s idea was very simple. He welcomes anyone joining his camp and paying him points for his services. For humans who were unwilling to join, sorry, they can leave the island world in advance. Hawk was the first to agree with Peter¡¯s idea. Peterbilt 20 energy defense towers for Hawk after Hawk sold a few Class C fruits in exchange for points, just enough to cover the cost of 20 energy defense towers. 20 energy defense towers were already very useful. The attack time of the energy defense towers was instantaneous, but the premise was to form a defense net to maximize the effect. Even if one shot didn¡¯t kill an enemy in the end, more of them ultimately would, so 20 energy defense towers were enough to deal with many sea monsters. Then, Peter asked Hawk to step in and began to look for people to work with in the chat and forums. Hawk did things in peace. In return, Peter sent 10 tree spirits to Hawk¡¯s Island to help him plan out the area of the defensive net. Then, Peter bought seeds of all levels on the trading board. He wanted to build a strong alliance in the island world. Because, Peter found that the island world¡¯s will was not as simple as the outside world thought. It was more like an intelligent entity. Moreover, the appearance of the island world itself was very strange. It was not believable to say that it was the remains of aliens. So far, there were still many areas in the island world that had not been discovered by humans. One could only imagine how huge the island world was. Peter¡¯s idea was to occupy the entire island world.
