Chapter 373 Building an Island

Ling Tian stood quietly in the middle of the tavern, and the air around him seemed to become heavy because of his emotions.

His eyes were fixed on the messy footprints in front of him, which were the traces left by everyone when they left in a hurry.

An indescribable pain welled up in his heart, as if he was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes full of complicated emotions.

He frowned slightly, and his eyebrows seemed to be twisted into a knot that could not be untied. There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and that helplessness was like a faint smoke, spreading around him.

"These guys run really fast and just leave me here." Ling Tian muttered to himself with a hint of complaint in his voice.

His tone showed dissatisfaction with everyone's eager behavior, but also a hint of helpless pampering. He shook his head gently, as if he wanted to shake off all these troubles.

His thoughts drifted to the system's lottery method. When he thought about the fact that the system's lottery method had changed, a faint worry surged in Ling Tian's heart.

Ling Tian sighed helplessly, and the sigh echoed softly in the silent tavern, as if carrying endless melancholy.

He secretly felt lucky in his heart that he had drawn a lot of berries during the previous lottery, otherwise he would never have taken out the berries even if he was beaten to death.

The scene of the previous lottery emerged in his mind. The expectation and surprise made him gain a lot of wealth. But now, these berries have become scarce due to the demands of everyone.

"Hmph, these guys just know how to take advantage of me." Ling Tian snorted lightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

The corners of his mouth turned down slightly, and there was a hint of resentment in his eyes. He felt like a treasure trove that was constantly being taken advantage of by everyone, and these people never considered his feelings.

Thinking of this, Ling Tian couldn't help but shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off all these troubles.

He closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and felt the air flowing through his nose. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes became firm.

Then he stretched out his right hand and waved it gently in the air. His movements were graceful and decisive, like a conductor conducting a grand concert.

A ray of light flashed by, and that light was like a bright star, instantly illuminating the entire tavern.

As the light appeared, an entrance to a virtual space slowly opened, and Ling Tian stepped in without hesitation.

As soon as he entered the virtual space, Ling Tian was stunned by the scene before him.

His eyes were wide open, full of shock and disbelief. This once beautiful and peaceful virtual space had now become unrecognizable.

Because of Luffy and his friends' special training, the virtual space is now in a mess. It can be described as a complete mess.

The ground was full of potholes, as if it had been hit by countless huge meteorites. The depths of the potholes varied, some were large enough to accommodate several people, while others were just shallow dents.

The soil was turned over, revealing the dark land underneath, which exuded a damp smell.

There were traces of battle everywhere. The walls were covered with scratches and cracks, as if they had been cut by a sharp sword. In some places, there were even huge holes, through which one could see the void outside.

There were some burn marks on the ground, as if it had been through a fire. Black ashes were blown away by the wind and fell on the surrounding flowers and plants, making the originally bright flowers dim.

The trees were broken and fell to the ground in all directions. Some trees were broken in half, revealing the white wood, while others were uprooted, with the roots exposed to the air, looking very desolate.

The leaves were scattered all over the ground, as if covering the ground with a layer of green carpet. The flowers and grass were trampled, and the once vibrant grassland became barren. The flowers were crushed, and the petals were scattered everywhere, losing their former beauty.

The whole space seemed to have experienced a huge disaster. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, which made people feel depressed and uneasy. Ling Tian stood there, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Ling Tian took a step forward and walked slowly in the virtual space, each step seemed to carry heavy thoughts. The soles of his shoes lightly touched the ground, making a subtle sound that was particularly clear in this silent space.

His eyes were like a scanner, carefully observing every corner. The potholes on the ground, the broken trees, and the trampled flowers and plants all came into his sight, making him feel even more depressed.

His eyes were full of thought, a deep and focused expression. His eyeballs moved slightly, his gaze lingered on different places, and various solutions kept emerging in his mind.

He imagined how to fill the holes, how to prop up the broken trees, and how to bring new life to the trampled flowers and plants.

However, every plan seemed to have problems of one kind or another, which made him fall into deep thought.

However, the so-called tidying up actually meant re-creating an island. Ling Tian knew clearly in his heart that the extent of the damage to this virtual space had exceeded the scope of simple tidying up.

If we want to restore this place to its former beauty, recreating an island might be the best option. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.

After all, Luffy and his friends had said before that the island where they trained was proof of their efforts, and they refused to let Ling Tian restore it.

Ling Tian smiled helplessly, that smile showed both his understanding of Luffy and the others, and a hint of helplessness. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and he secretly lamented the stubbornness of these guys.

Ling Tian was moved and a little helpless by their appreciation of his efforts.

"Okay, since you guys insist, I'll just create a new island." Ling Tian said to himself.

Ling Tian stopped and stood in the middle of an open space. This open space seemed like a canvas waiting to be painted, full of infinite possibilities.

Ling Tian stood there quietly, like a sculpture, and the air around him seemed to be frozen because of his concentration. He gently closed his eyes, cut off the interference from the outside world, and concentrated all his energy to start conceiving a new island.

In his mind, all kinds of beautiful scenery and magnificent buildings kept appearing like slides.

There is the beautiful seaside scenery of sunshine shining on the golden beach, the magnificent picture of waterfalls pouring down from the cliffs, and the majestic sight of the ancient castle standing on the top of the mountain.

He constantly screened and combined, trying to find the most perfect design solution.

He imagined every detail on the island, from the types of flowers, plants and trees to the style of the buildings, from the direction of the rivers to the shape of the mountains, every element was carefully considered by him.
