[1 hour outside this dimension equals 1 day inside] the system answered Jay's question.

Hearing the system's answer, Jay felt relieved and at ease, as this would essentially make it easier for him to explore the entire island within a sufficient amount of time.

As a general idea, when Jay entered the dimension within this tree, he estimated that it was around 10:00 PM.

So, he had approximately 7 to 8 hours to explore within this dimension, which equates to 7 to 8 days.

As for where Jay got the 7 to 8 hours figure, he was referring to the working hours of all the villagers, which began around 5:00 AM to 6:00 AM.

"Then it's decided. Let's not waste any more time, let's explore the entire island!" With anticipation and enthusiasm, Jay began his journey to explore the entire island and search for its true ruler, the tiger.

From the highest peak on the island, Jay slowly walked through the undergrowth, constantly activating his spatial scanning ability.

He held a sickle in his right hand to clear the undergrowth, and a long-barreled rifle slung around his neck in his left.

As he continued to clear the hill, Jay slowly but surely encountered dense vegetation.

This was possible because the entire island seemed well-preserved, and the absence of human intervention had made the island's habitat incredibly pristine.

While Jay was pleased with his discovery, it only indicated that there were many good things to be found on this island, he also realized that developing the island into a ready-to-use form like the space the system had provided him with would be no easy feat.

He could easily manipulate the space to his liking using only his mind.

It ultimately took Jay over an hour to descend to the base of the hill behind him, and what greeted him was...

A dense forest filled with a variety of plants and trees, appearing lush and natural.

Approaching some of the surrounding trees, Jay realized that they seemed much larger than those found in his home world.

From what Jay could estimate, the smallest trees in the forest appeared to be at least 30 years old.

The average age was over 50 years, with some of the larger ones exceeding 100 years.

Seeing such an abundant wood resource, Jay could imagine the quality of the wood he would need to build his house and furniture.

Unfortunately, Jay only recognized a few of the tree species currently around him.

Among them were teak, mahogany, pine, and sengon.

He was less familiar with the other trees, and more careful research was needed to determine their types.

But whatever it was, Jay was already pleased with everything he saw.

As Jay delved deeper into the forest, he slowly began to spot animals appearing in the distance.

"There were deer and several elk about 50 to 100 meters from my current position.

They seemed interested in my arrival, as if they were trying to guess what kind of creature I was." Jay noticed that both species seemed interested in him, but remained cautious, finding it amusing.

It was as if he were an animal in a zoo, only the situation was reversed, as he was the captive animal.

And the animals he encountered were people who saw him as a unique, unseen creature.

Ignoring the presence of these animals, Jay continued exploring, deepening his exploration of the forest.

The flora and fauna became increasingly rich. Jay had already spotted no less than five species of birds, each with its own unique and melodious chirps.

And Jay recognized some of them, including magpie robins and starlings.

Continuing deeper into the forest, Jay also encountered numerous insects and animals, such as snakes, roaming about.

However, with his scanning skills, Jay managed to avoid them. They were

Finally, after more than two hours of wandering through the forest, the loud sound of crashing water caught his attention.

"There's the sound of rushing water. From the sound it makes, I'm sure it's like a waterfall falling from a great height.

If my guess is correct, then the water resources on this island are abundant, and that will be very useful in the future." An excited Jay quickened his pace toward the source of the sound.

Finally, after more than ten minutes of traversing the forest, he saw a large waterfall ahead of him.

The waterfall was approximately 30-40 meters high, with a diameter of over ten meters.

The water flowed down from the base of the waterfall, appearing to be very abundant and powerful.

The clear, cool stream meandered toward the island's shore.

"Amazing!!! It's beautiful and so pretty!" Jay praised the waterfall before him, looking around for a way down.

Finally, he managed to find a way down through a gap in the rocks and trees that seemed to be tilted.

Carefully navigating the unfamiliar path, Jay finally made his way down and, with quick but careful steps, reached the area below the waterfall.

Seeing the majestic and massive waterfall, Jay was overjoyed, especially when he felt the water droplets wetting his face and cheeks.

As if washing away his fatigue, Jay gazed up at the waterfall, which was now dimly lit by the sunlight, creating a beautiful rainbow.

"Hahaha… There's a rainbow! What a beautiful sight! Isn't this a sign of good luck for me!!" Jay, delighted by the rainbow's appearance, felt his luck was definitely good.

And sure enough, just as Jay had predicted, not far from the waterfall, the faint outline of a wild animal with a striking pattern was seen sleeping soundly on a large rock about a dozen meters from the waterfall.

If it weren't for the prevailing wind, Jay would certainly be in deep trouble.

"I know I'm lucky, but seeing a miracle in person is truly amazing!" Jay excitedly looked up at the figure of the beast.
