Time-traveling island

"Young master... what's wrong with the moon?"

Wang Wanxiu asked tentatively, and couldn't help but look up at the sky.

The moon, which used to hang high in the sky, was untouchable no matter how high one stood.

But at Young Master Lin's command, the moon seemed to have been struck hard...

"The Moon."

Su Zhuoyao held her hand across her forehead and gazed at the sky, but unfortunately she couldn't see the Taiyin star. She then turned her head to look at the man.

"It's alright, even if the power were ten times greater, the moon would be completely unharmed."

Lin An said, and then ordered the landing ship to bring back some lunar soil.

There were no robots on the landing ship, but it shot out a beam of light, which shot lunar soil into the cabin, and then returned to its destination, arriving back in front of Lin An short time later.

My feelings are a bit complicated.

The lunar soil that Earthlings spend countless resources to obtain is now something he has obtained casually. When he has time, he will send a few kilograms of lunar soil to his alma mater.

"Shall we go downstairs and talk some more?" Lin An asked them, turning to them.

"May I have the honor of riding on Young Master Lin's ship?" Su Zhuoyao pointed to the landing ship hovering in mid-air, smiling like a vixen.

Seeing that the remaining two had no objections, Lin An tried to lead them onto the landing ship.

They found that it was possible to go inside, but this small spaceship was clearly not meant for humans to operate. Not only were there no windows, but there was also no cockpit. The only way to see outside was to rely on the information received by the core and then projected out.

Lin An directed the landing ship to circle the island once, survey the terrain, and then landed on the island's northwest coast, not far from the spaceship.

The reason for choosing to land on the coast was that the island had just emerged from the seabed, and the ground was covered with mud and fish carcasses, with a pervasive stench.

After landing, Lin An looked back at the spaceship standing on the island, which looked like a ship's bow. He didn't want to start the huge spaceship until he mastered the alien technology.

"Do you have any questions for me?" Lin An asked the three of them.

Wang Wanxiu shook her head, and the other two didn't know what to ask either. After all, they had just arrived on Earth, and everything was unfamiliar to them. They also didn't know what alien technology meant.

Seeing this, Lin An smiled and said, "Then let's talk about the payment."

Before the young girl from Shun could speak, Lin An spoke first, saying, "Miss Wang, you must need help right now, so don't refuse. How about this, come again tomorrow, and I'll try to prepare some food for you and your family so you and your family can have enough to eat!"

"besides."

He continued, "Shun Kingdom is in chaos due to war. If you and your family want to come here for refuge, that's fine. I'll see where I can arrange for you to stay."

Wang Wanxiu was deeply moved upon hearing this. She hadn't been able to help Young Master Lin at all, yet he had brought her food and taken her family in to stay on the island temporarily to escape the war.

Such a great favor left her at a loss for how to repay the young master.

After pondering for a while, Wang Wanxiu was about to kneel down and kowtow to Young Master Lin when Lin An quickly stopped her, saying, "What are you doing?"

Wang Wanxiu blushed shyly on her delicate and slender face, and lowered her head, saying, "I cannot express my gratitude in words. I can only kowtow to thank you in advance, and I will repay you in the future."

Su Zhuoyao, who was standing to the side, watched with sparkling eyes and said with a smile, "In the play, it is said that after a woman is saved by a man, she should repay him with her body~~hehe."

She grew up deep in the mountains and longed for the outside world. In her spare time, she and her fox spirit sisters would learn to sing opera. Since opera often featured scenes of scholars and young ladies, she couldn't help but feel a strong urge to emulate Wang Wanxiu's refined and elegant demeanor.

Her words only made Wang Wanxiu more embarrassed, and she twisted her hands together, not daring to reply.

Even if she were willing, she would still have to consult her parents, who would then decide to send her to the Lin family to serve Young Master Lin.

"Don't listen to her! She's just joking with you."

Lin An said, then turned to look at Su Zhuoyao, "What about you? I don't know what you want, cultivation techniques, magic weapons or something?"

"This servant doesn't want the filthy dregs of a cultivator!"

Su Zhuoyao said with disdain, then smiled at him and said, "I don't want anything right now, so why don't you put it on my tab and ask Young Master Lin for payment later?"

"what ever."

Lin An was now starting to doubt whether Su Zhuoyao was really a fairy from a major sect. Why did she seem so eccentric and playful?

"Mr. Lin."

As Lin An turned to look at her, Amberley asked, "Can I ask you some questions?"

Lin An nodded.

She asked, "Does Mr. Lin have any plans to develop this island and become its lord?"

Lin An thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "I have this idea, but I need to consider it. For example, developing this island would require hundreds of thousands, even millions, of people, and we need to prepare for their food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Also, as you've seen, the soil on this island isn't very good; it needs to be cleaned and we'll try to plant some vegetation. All of this will take a long time."

A smile appeared on Amberley's pure and beautiful face: "The elves' ability to cultivate plants is comparable to that of druids."

Lin An understood the implication and asked directly, "Do you want to be employed by me? Or... do you want to bring some elves to live here?" He quickly added, "If you come to live here, I can allocate a piece of land for you."

Amberley frowned, clearly having many concerns. "I'm sorry, I can't agree to that right away."

Lin An laughed and said, "It's alright, we can also establish an embassy and exchange ideas. You and your elves can come to Earth for tourism."

"terribly sorry."

Amberley apologized again, saying softly, "There are many different opinions in the kingdom now. Some elves want to move away to avoid the conflicts on the continent, while others want to stay and face the challenges, believing that no matter where they move, they will always encounter similar troubles."

Lin An understood; she was leaning towards relocation.

As for what trouble the Elf Kingdom was facing, she didn't say much. Relocating to Earth was just a backup plan for her, somewhat like grasping at straws in desperation.

As fate would have it, Wang Wanxiu fled from the north and lost her home, and Amberley was also about to move away from the forest where she had lived for generations.

Amberley looked at Lin An with her sapphire-blue eyes: "May I ask you one more question, Mr. Lin? If you became a lord, how do you plan to manage your territory?"

Lin An first translated her words to Wang Wanxiu and Su Zhuoyao, then continued, "First, protect the territory from enemy invasion."

He paused for a moment, then said, "There are many countries on Earth, with a population of eight billion. I need to demonstrate the power of this island to deter potential enemies!"

As he spoke, he pointed to several landing ships hovering in mid-air.

Without them, Lin An would have fled back to China immediately, or restarted the spaceship to leave; there was no reason for him to stay on the island!

Su Zhuoyao glanced at the landing ship and asked, "Aren't you afraid if the Immortal Sect attacks, Young Master?"

Lin An couldn't help but chuckle and asked with a smile, "What is a Celestial Sect?"

"With an ascended grandmaster and a sect that has inherited cultivation techniques, it can be called a Celestial Sect."

Su Zhuoyao asked curiously, "Are there any immortal sects here?"

Lin An understood; she probably thought that these immortal sects were the most powerful.

But he couldn't explain it to her in a short time, so he simply said, "No one on Earth can defeat these landing ships, so you can consider this place absolutely safe!"

The landing ship remained suspended in mid-air without energy depletion, and the ship's core did not indicate insufficient energy, which most likely indicates that it possesses inexhaustible energy technology.

"Absolutely...safe?!"

Amberley repeated herself, and Lynn glanced at her before continuing, "Secondly, on this island, we will promote the principles of equality and mutual respect for all. Whether human, elf, cultivator, or monster, regardless of origin, strength, or intelligence, all intelligent beings possess human rights."

"Human rights are the basic rights of residents as intelligent beings!" he explained proactively, knowing they definitely wouldn't understand the term.

Su Zhuoyao froze, staring intently at him. In her mind, she recalled her mother-in-law's constant admonitions: "Humans and demons are irreconcilable enemies. Our demon race is different from the human race. Human cultivators will kill us on sight, and many demons in our race will devour humans. It's either you die or I die. Remember, never easily trust outsiders..."

"Equality for all, mutual respect..."

Amberlie was also pondering his words.

As for Wang Wanxiu, who came from Shun Kingdom and was experiencing great chaos, she had been thinking about one thing since just now.

After a while, Lin An smiled and said, "The last one is the freedom to come and go. Of course, I mean the freedom to leave; not everyone can come to live on this island, after all, the island isn't very big."

"How many households does the young master want to cultivate the land and grow vegetables on the island?" Wang Wanxiu asked hurriedly.

Lin An thought for a moment, "The island is neither too big nor too small. Too few people would make it seem deserted, and too many would make it too crowded. Let's set the population at one million for now."

Wang Wanxiu was initially pleased to hear this, but she immediately remembered what Young Master Lin had said: there wasn't enough food to feed so many people, and her expression turned somber.

Lin An saw through her thoughts. "Miss Wang mentioned earlier that there are over 100,000 disaster victims? That just so happens that I need people to clean up the island and do some odd jobs."

Wang Wanxiu asked, "How many people does the young master want?" Then she said with shame, "The disaster victims have been starving for a long time. If they don't have a few bowls of rice porridge to drink, they probably won't have the strength to work."

It means he needs to provide meals.

Lin An thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "I haven't decided yet. You've been here for an hour now, and your parents will worry. Why don't you go back first and come back tomorrow so we can discuss it?"

Remembering what had happened before, he laughed and said, "The fish we caught before are all gone. I'll ask it to catch some more for you to take home and eat later."

With over 100,000 disaster victims living together, there must be places to cook. Lin An knew that eating fish wouldn't fill him up, but the idea of ​​him flying a spaceship to rob rice, flour, and cooking oil felt absurd—his phone wasn't with him, and he had no money on him.

Looting food in a spaceship could easily cause panic, and besides, it wasn't the right time. He estimated that in another two hours, fighter jets from some countries would come to check.

An uninhabited island, plus an alien spaceship emerging from the sea—the temptation is too great.

At this moment, after listening to the translation, Amberley took the initiative to say, "There is still some grain stored in my village. I will go back and get it to give to Miss Wang."

"Really? Thank you!"

Lin An accepted the kindness without hesitation.

Anyway, he already owed Amberley a payment once, so he could pay her back later.
