Time-traveling island

A day has passed.

Around noon, Lin An received a phone call.

"Mr. Lü?"

"It's me, it's me. Lin, have you had lunch yet?"

"I just ate. Mr. Lü, is there anything I can help you with?"

Lin An asked politely, and the other party quickly replied enthusiastically, "It's like this, the personal items you ordered from me have arrived. The secretariat instructed our company to allocate funds, and I had someone buy them from China and arrange for them to be airlifted here by several planes. The ship will arrive at the drilling platform tomorrow."

"How much did you buy? Send me the list and I'll pay," Lin An said, adding that he had previously said it was a free gift, but he was being polite again.

"No need, no need. It's all an extra bonus from that deal; you don't need to pay a single penny!"

Lü Tianshou said with a smile.

"Then I shall accept it without hesitation."

Lin An thanked him and said, "I just spoke with General Xu. The supplies will arrive in about four days. There's nowhere to put your things when they arrive, and we're short of people to carry them up. How about this, in four days you can have the captain bring the ship over, and I'll have people carry them up there."

There are very few people on the island now, and there is no dock for ships to dock. Only when the fleet sent by the leaders arrives can we begin to build a temporary settlement for 100,000 people.

General Xu?

After a moment's thought, General Lü knew who this general was. He was probably the military leader in charge of this transaction with Lin An, and was currently in an aircraft carrier group at sea.

When the army arrives at the island, Lin An will summon 100,000 ancient people, along with monsters and spirits. What a grand spectacle that will be!

Global satellites will undoubtedly be able to see this transaction between the Chinese government and "aliens"!

Suppressing his excitement, General Manager Lü smiled warmly and said, "Then wait four days, and I'll personally deliver the supplies to you!"

"How could I possibly accept this?"

"It's alright. The island will definitely be short-handed at that time. Manager Liu and Song Quan from the drilling platform also want to go and see for themselves, and help move the goods while they're at it. What do you think?"

Before Lin An could speak, General Manager Lü quickly added, "Think about it, people in ancient times certainly didn't know how to use our modern machines, so they could only watch helplessly. Plus, there was a famine, and people in ancient times were all thin from hunger, so they had even less strength to work."

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you."

Lin An agreed, but managing 100,000 people is a huge problem, and who knows what kind of chaos it will become.

Fortunately, he had discussed it with Wanxiu's father and had him start organizing people into different teams to make management easier.

"No trouble at all, it's our honor to witness this epoch-making moment!"

Lu Tianshou subtly flattered Lin An.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately called Manager Liu over and instructed him, "Quickly gather everyone for a meeting to discuss the matter of going to help Lin An on his island in four days!"

Manager Liu was taken aback at first, then his face lit up with joy. He was about to go call someone when he quickly turned back and asked, "General Manager Lü, what should we do with those foreigners?"

Since Lin An's last visit, the drilling platform has been disconnected from the internet to maintain secrecy, and any external communication requires permission from higher-level leaders.

The drilling platform is mostly staffed by Chinese people, but there are also a few foreign employees.

After a moment's thought, Mr. Lü asked him, "What was Lin An's relationship with them like before?"

"I don't really know, I'll call Song Quan and the others!"

Manager Liu called over Song Quan, Jiang Tianheng, and several of Lin An's roommates. They were all delighted to hear that they would be going to the island to help out in a few days, knowing that this might be a life-changing opportunity!

"Those foreigners?"

Song Quan shook his head, "Lin An doesn't have much of a relationship with them."

"Alright then." General Manager Lü made the decision: "I'll have the company send someone to replace us. We'll go to Lin'an's island in four days. Manager Liu, go and call someone over; we need to have a meeting!"

"I'll go right away!"

Before long, the engineers and workers on the drilling platform all came to the conference room. There were about seventy or eighty people in the conference room.

……

During their meeting, Lin An met Amberley, who had returned to Earth.

She came alone this time.

And as soon as they arrived, they told him some good news:

"Olvia and a few others cultivated magic vine seeds suitable for planting on this island."

"Oh?"

Just as Lin An was about to ask for more details, he saw Li'er take out a cloth bag with an intricate pattern from her white, slender hands, and take out a... mud ball from it?

Amberley noticed his confusion, smiled at him, and explained softly, "This is soil from the island. There's a magic vine seed inside, along with a small piece of magic crystal, which provides the magic vine with the power to grow quickly."

She added, "This is very useful for stopping large-scale enemy attacks. When thrown onto the ground, it forms a thorn wall that will remain even after being burned by flames."

Lin An laughed and said, "Does that mean it'll be a lot of trouble to clean up?"

Lil nodded somewhat shyly, then smiled and said, "But I think it's worth it. The magic vine can grow quickly, absorb the salt in the soil, and the burned branches and vines can also make the soil better for planting other plants."

"Give it a try," Lin An nodded.

So Amberley channeled her magic into the magic vine mud ball and threw it far away. Under Lin An's watchful eye, a dark, twisted thing quickly grew where the mud ball landed. Once it had grown, it turned out to be a giant vine plant.

In just ten minutes, it spread to the size of a football field!

And it blooms with bright red flowers, numbering in the thousands. At first glance, these red magic vines seem to be blooming in a black hell, possessing a bewitching beauty.

However, seemingly due to a lack of pollination, none of these flowers bore fruit and withered away quickly.

Thirty minutes later, the rapid growth of the magic vine finally stopped.

Lil smiled at him and explained, "The magic vine grows faster than ordinary plants in the forest. Once it gets sunlight, absorbs enough magic, or finds a suitable environment to grow, it will kill other plants. Generally speaking, it is especially common in swamps."

Does it need a lot of water to grow?

"Yes. The magic vines in front of us have absorbed all their magic power, and there isn't enough water on the ground, so they've almost stopped growing."

"That's perfect. We can plant the magic vines after Miss Su summons the wind and rain. How many seeds have you prepared?"

"We will prepare more supplies in the next few days, enough to cover the entire island."

Lil looked at him: "The Queen said that when Miss Wang and the 100,000 Shun people come, we can also come to help. If you need it, the Queen will invite about a thousand elves to help you settle your people."

Lin An said gratefully, "This is so necessary! Lily, please go back and thank your queen for me. You helped me this time. If you hadn't settled here, I would have compensated you elsewhere or given you a reward!"

A thousand people is not a small number, but a thousand elves who know magic and are skilled in archery can do even more!

Lil smiled and said, "We elves are not usually inclined to help humans, but when we see humans suffering, we will try our best to help. This time, there's no need to mention payment; it's a friendly gesture. The Queen didn't give any orders; she simply invited the elves over."

Lin An smiled and said, "No matter what, thank you all."

Lil nodded gently, turned to face the demonic vines, waved her hand to release a fireball to burn them away, then collected some soil from the ground to take back to the Elf Kingdom to see how much salt was left in the soil.

Before long, she said goodbye to Lin An and went back.
