Chapter 3

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 —- 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 —- 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.
