"Sir, Sir, please wake up, please wake up."
"Wake up!"
A strange, chattering sound reached Zuo Si's ears.
Strangely enough, although Zuo Si had never learned, heard, or encountered such a language, he could accurately understand the meaning of the words.
This is...
What is going on?
Didn't I...
Fall into the sea?
Zuo Si opened his eyes abruptly. What appeared before him was not the endless blue of the sea, and there was no painful sensation of suffocation in his chest.
He collected his thoughts and looked in front of him.
Standing before him were two small, raccoon-like creatures.
They were wearing cute little armor, their pure, flawless eyes fixed on Zuo Si.
So cute.
Zuo Si was stunned for a moment, and then this thought appeared in his mind.
"Sir! You finally woke up!"
"You're awake!"
The two little guys immediately beamed with smiles upon seeing Zuo Si. Zuo Si was taken aback; he suddenly felt that these two little guys looked familiar...
Could this be...
"Hello! Sir, my name is Dori!"
"My name is Kori."
The two little guys said with a smile.
Upon hearing these two names, Zuo Si felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
This is...
Animal Crossing?
Am I... did I travel through time? Or am I dreaming?
Thinking back to when he fell into the sea, Zuo Si felt a bit dazed.
Perhaps he really did travel through time...
Zuo Si subconsciously looked at his own body and discovered that he hadn't turned into a little person like in Animal Crossing; he remained the same, and even his clothes were the same as when he fell off the boat.
"Sir, Sir?"
Seeing Zuo Si looking dazed, the two little guys in front of him immediately called out twice, pulling Zuo Si back from his confusion.
Zuo Si came to his senses, a slightly melancholy smile appearing on his face as he looked at the two little guys.
"Sir, we have already finished processing your Uninhabited Island application. May I ask what your name is?"
Already finished the Uninhabited Island business? That speed is truly fast!
"My name is Zuo Si." Zuo Si nodded and stated his name.
"That is wonderful."
A smile appeared on the faces of the two little guys.
"Please board the plane!"
Perhaps because he had just traveled through time, Zuo Si's mind was still a bit chaotic, but he didn't know if it was his imagination, he always felt that the two little guys in front of him were smiling a bit strangely.
He walked onto the plane in a daze, leaned against the comfortable sofa, and looked at the beautiful scenery outside, feeling inexplicably relaxed.
Although he had traveled through time for no apparent reason, at least it wasn't a high-risk world, and he didn't need to put in too much thought—in a world with a game console, a television, and where he could live well by doing a little work, what else could he be dissatisfied with?
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed quite good!
Zuo Si felt a bit drowsy; he opened his mouth wide, feeling a little sleepy, and then closed his eyes, slowly falling asleep.
However, what Zuo Si did not notice was that in this seemingly normal plane, a voice like this rang out:
"Super-dimension spacetime Warp Jump is about to initiate."
"The first guest is about to be transported."
"The Uninhabited Island Plan welcomes you, my guest."
It is a pity that Zuo Si did not hear any of this.
He slept in his seat, and whether it was because of the sudden travel through time or something else, he seemed to be uncomfortable.
He kept frowning, looking very uncomfortable.
Zuo Si soaked in the sunshine and stretched.
He looked around and discovered that this was a beautiful island with golden beaches, emerald green grass, and a small mountain not far away...
..
This seems to be quite a lot bigger than in the game?
Zuo Si cast all these messy thoughts away.
Until this moment, Zuo Si had completely confirmed that this place was not a dream, but he was not too disappointed. Since he had arrived in a new place, he had to think about how to live well!
It's just that... it seemed like he was the only one here.
"Sir! Hello! Are you a new resident of the Uninhabited Island?"
Just as Zuo Si was thinking this, he suddenly heard a voice like that of a young girl. Zuo Si subconsciously tilted his head and looked at the little creature in front of him.
It was a light yellow puppy. The puppy looked up at the little guy in front of him and said with a smile:
"You must be Mr. Zuo Si! I am Xi Shi Hui, responsible for receiving you. Welcome to the Uninhabited Island!"
Xi Shi Hui?
Zuo Si was slightly stunned. In his impression, in the new Animal Crossing, Xi Shi Hui seemed to have arrived on the island after a long time. How did she become a receptionist here?
Perhaps the place he traveled to is a bit different.
Zuo Si did not continue to dwell on this matter, while Xi Shi Hui in front of him continued to speak with a smile:
"Mr. Tom Nook... ah, that is the one who is organizing the move, he is currently handling some things and estimates he will be able to come to the island in two days. For these two days, I am responsible for receiving everyone arriving on the island. Mr. Zuo Si, you are the first person to arrive on the island, and there are two others who will likely arrive here tomorrow."
So I am the only one on this island right now?
"Ah! Right, right! Mr. Zuo Si, would you like to give this island a name? Since there are already people here, it shouldn't be called an Uninhabited Island anymore." Xi Shi Hui looked at the very satisfied Zuo Si, clapped her little hands, her smile radiant, looking extremely cute.
A name?
Zuo Si touched his chin.
"Let's call it... Yuanqi Island."
As someone who struggles with naming, Zuo Si simply waved his hand and thought of a name at random—fates arise and fall, there will definitely be many cute little animals on the island, how wonderful it is to have fate!
However, Xi Shi Hui in front of Zuo Si did not comprehend the meaning of this island. She tilted her head, thought for half a day, and finally accepted this not-so-great name.
"Then, this island shall be called Yuanqi Island!" Xi Shi Hui fumbled behind her back, and from somewhere, she pulled out a tent that was not small and handed it to Zuo Si, "Mr. Zuo Si, this is a tent for your temporary residence. It might not be very good. If you want to build a house in two days, you will need to do it yourself. If you don't want to build it yourself, we also provide house construction... but it is very expensive..."
Zuo Si waved his hand slightly.
"I'll worry about it when I can't build it anymore."
Looking at the island in front of him, Zuo Si felt extremely comfortable.
A new life, here he comes!
Zuo Si was in high spirits.
