When the challenge began, Chen Zhou was exactly 25 years old.
After spending many years on the island, he was now unknowingly 34.
Nine years passed quickly, and all sorts of tasks on the island had suitable people to take over. Chen Zhou gradually retreated to the background and moved into his manor in Fruit Tree Valley.
...
Thanks to the mysterious gift of plants, many types of trees were planted in the mountains and forests near the manor.
Litchi trees, durian trees, cocoa trees, autumn white almonds, peach trees…
Some were still young, while others had grown into towering trees, bearing abundant fruit.
Just outside the door, the lawn surrounded by a wooden fence was always neatly trimmed, and a well was dug in the yard with a water pump installed on it.
However, this water pump was not the original one that Chen Zhou had taken apart from the ship. That pump had become decayed due to years of disuse, and this water pump was forged by the island's blacksmith.
