Since they had come to have fun in the first place, Yang Yi set no time limit. They only needed to return before the Portal closed, and he left it at the harbor pier.
Yang Yi was the first to return. Once the initial novelty wore off, Green Island became rather dull. Green vegetation filled his view, and although there were flowers, grasses, fruits, and vegetables, many actually belonged to someone-that is, someone had planted them-and could not be picked.
