Pirates: This island has billions of black technologies Chapter 007

After Lilith’s talent was activated, the island’s development speed exceeded all imagination.

With the aid of her natural resonance ability, the crops in the farmland opened up in the center of the island grew noticeably faster. Crops that originally took months to mature could now be harvested in a matter of weeks. The once sparse woodlands became lush and green, providing a continuous supply of timber. Even the marine life around the island became more active, and Navigator Rhodes and the Mechanic were able to catch large quantities of fish every day using simple fishing nets.

Wei Ribao focused on island planning and unlocking system functions.

He used the [Terrain Modification] module provided by Icarus to build simple fortifications on the edge of the island, stacking sturdy wood and stones into a low wall. He also activated more [Simple Collectors], greatly improving resource acquisition efficiency.

However, no matter how busy Wei Ribao was, he always made time to spend with Lilith. Lilith followed him almost

inseparably, as if she were his shadow.

In the early morning, when Wei Ribao woke up, Lilith would have already prepared purified fresh water and roasted wild fruits for him. Her movements were gentle and meticulous, and her eyes were filled with silent concern.

When Wei Ribao took the food, her fingertips would inadvertently touch his palm. The momentary jolt of electricity made her cheeks flush, but she couldn’t help but secretly glance at him.

During the day, as Wei Ribao planned new construction areas, Lilith would be by his side, quietly offering suggestions she gleaned from nature, such as where the soil was more fertile or where potential underground water sources lay.

Wei Ribao found her intuition to be surprisingly accurate, which made him increasingly reliant on Lilith.

“Host, Lilith’s favorability towards you: 92. Emotional inclination: admiration, attachment,” Icarus would report in Wei Ribao’s mind at opportune moments.

Wei Ribao would sometimes half-jokingly reach out and gently ruffle her soft flaxen hair.

Lilith would shyly lower her head, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but turn up, and her eyes were filled with the happiness of being cherished. She would gently rub against his arm, like a pampered kitten.

In the afternoon, they would rest under a tall tree. Wei Ribao would lean against the trunk, while Lilith would naturally rest her head on his lap, quietly watching the blue sky and white clouds. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, dappling their bodies, and everything seemed so serene and beautiful.

Once, Wei Ribao accidentally cut his finger. Lilith immediately nervously took his hand, her clear eyes filled with worry as she looked at him.

She gently blew on his wound, then took out a dewy leaf from her small cloth pouch and placed it on his injury.

Miraculously, the leaf emitted a faint green glow, quickly stopping the bleeding and greatly alleviating the pain.

“This is… natural healing?” Wei Ribao looked at her in surprise.

Lilith smiled somewhat proudly, “Mm, I can feel their power.” Her eyes were filled with pure kindness and concern for Wei Ribao.

“Host, Lilith’s favorability towards you: 95. Emotional inclination: deep admiration and protectiveness.”

Wei Ribao felt the coolness from his fingertips and the warmth of Lilith’s palm, and a warm current surged through his heart.

This pure and powerful girl had completely entered his heart. He knew that he had to give her a safe, stable, and loving home.

In the evening, the bonfire burned brightly, dispelling the night’s chill and the island’s silence.

The survivors gathered around the bonfire, eating roasted fish and fruits, and sharing their experiences.

Navigator Rhodes would recount the vastness of the sea and the wonders of the world, while the Mechanic would discuss the structure and repair techniques of ships. Wei Ribao would listen carefully, integrating this information into his island development plans.

Lilith always sat quietly beside Wei Ribao, sometimes curiously watching the bonfire, sometimes secretly glancing at Wei Ribao’s profile. When Wei Ribao’s gaze inadvertently swept over her, she would immediately avert her eyes, two red clouds flying to her cheeks.

One night, the weather suddenly changed. A fierce wind howled, and torrential rain poured down. The makeshift shelter was battered by the wind and rain, swaying precariously. The survivors huddled together, feeling the roar of nature, their hearts filled with unease.

Wei Ribao immediately sprang into action, directing the Mechanic to reinforce the shelter and using system energy to strengthen the surrounding defenses. However, the wind and rain were too strong, and a large hole was torn in the roof of the shelter, allowing rain to pour in.

Lilith looked at Wei Ribao’s busy figure in the wind and rain, her eyes filled with worry. She rushed out without hesitation, standing beneath the shelter’s opening, extending her hands, her fingertips once again emitting a faint glow.

Miraculously, the vines and leaves around her grew and intertwined at a visible speed, as if by magic, quickly forming an impenetrable green barrier above their heads. This barrier completely blocked the pouring rain, creating a dry area. The barrier swayed in the strong wind but never collapsed.

“Host, Lilith is using ‘Nature’s Embrace’ ability. Energy consumption is immense, please be aware!” Icarus warned.

Wei Ribao’s heart tightened. He rushed to Lilith’s side, looking at her pale face, knowing that she was overdrawing her strength.

“Lilith! Stop! You’ll get hurt!” Wei Ribao cried out anxiously.

Lilith shook her head, her clear eyes looking at him with determination: “It’s okay… as long as I can help you… help everyone…”

Wei Ribao looked at the pure persistence in her eyes and her desire to protect him, and his heart suddenly trembled.

He knew that this feeling had reached a point where it could no longer be suppressed.

He no longer tried to persuade her, but instead stood tightly by her side, using his body to shield her from the wind and rain, enduring nature’s roar with her.

He reached out and gently held her cold little hand, conveying his warmth and strength.

As the storm gradually subsided, the barrier above Lilith’s head also dissipated. Her body went limp, almost collapsing. Wei Ribao immediately pulled her into his arms, feeling the trembling of her frail body.

“Host, Lilith’s favorability towards you: 98. Emotional inclination: undying love and belonging.”

Wei Ribao held Lilith in his arms, feeling the warmth of her body and her sense of security as she nestled against him. He knew that at this moment, their feelings for each other had transcended words and reached a deep resonance of the soul.

He lowered his head and gently kissed the top of Lilith’s head. She stirred slightly in his arms, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.
