I Created A Wealthy Island By Fishing - Chapter 34

Chapter 34 Strange and Unique Resource Island

At this time, the Happy Family Association’s assessment had begun. Some of the players with high marks had even broken through black iron and bronze ranks to reach the 1-star silver rank.

For novice players, those who had reached 1-star silver rank were like dazzling stars. They were the envy of countless other novice players who did not have enough to eat or even drink.

On the other hand, Guo Li had been searching for the ownerless island during this period of time and had not started the selection process. Many people thought that the former king of the novice players might be eliminated.

“Heavenly Fishing, you haven’t participated in the selection process yet. Are you going to be eliminated?”

“Didn’t you see the announcement about Heavenly Fishing taking ownership of a resource island earlier? I guess he won’t be able to get back and start the selection process in time.”

“You can’t have it both ways. Do you think that just because you got a resource island, you’ll be able to make it to the Happy Family Association assessment?”

Guo Li saw the messages on the (World Chat] channel and ignored these people. Exploring the resource island was the most urgent thing he had to do now.

The mineral resources on this small island were very rich. Previously, when the fishing boat was destroyed by the great white shark, Guo Li had felt regretful about the slag metal that had fallen into the sea. However, looking at the mineral resources on this island, the loss of those slag metals were not worth mentioning. On this resource island, any random stone on the ground was an extremely pure ore. If it was refined with a smelting furnace, the end result would be much purer than the slag metals.

The sailors and Captain Jack also walked around the resource island. When they saw how rich the mineral resources were here, they were elated.

“What a beautiful island. This is the first time I’ve seen such a mineral-rich island.”

They then began to explore the island.

This island was rich in mineral resources. One would even be able to extract and refine pure metals from the sand and stone on the ground. On the other hand, the land here was not suitable for planting any crops, because the metal content in the soil exceeded standard levels. Ordinary crops would not be able to survive here.

Only special plants could survive here. For example, the big tree in front of Guo Li seemed to be full of leaves and branches, but the trunk of the big tree was shining with a metallic luster. When he used his fingers to gently tap the tree trunk, it actually produced a metallic sound.

The leaves on the big tree were like metal plates. If they fell on the ground, they could seriously hurt someone.

Cai Er was standing under a big tree, lost in her thoughts. This was because the tree she was starting at was a big golden tree. Its entire body seemed to be made of gold.

The leaves on the big tree were also golden, and hanging from its branches were golden fruits.

“Guo Li, come and take a look. There’s a big tree made of gold here. It’s so beautiful.”

Guo Li walked over to her. Wukong climbed up the tree and plucked a golden fruit from one of the branches. It took a bite out of it.

The next second, Wukong let out a miserable cry. He threw the golden fruit in his hand out with all his strength. It was screeching loudly, almost like a cursing sailor.

The fruit on the tree had too much gold in it. It was extraordinarily hard. Wukong was greedy and had overestimated the toughness of its teeth. Thanks to that, it had almost lost some of its teeth.

Cai Er was laughing so hard that the nearby flowers were shaking. Guo Li asked Wukong to pick some of the golden leaves. He wanted to see how high the gold content of these leaves were.

Wukong picked the leaves and brought them over to Guo Li. The leaves were a little heavy, and they had clear patterns on them. There were even marks of the leaves being chewed on by insects. He flicked his finger onto one, and the leaf shuddered and rang out with a metallic sound.

Guo Li casually handed the golden leaves to Cai Er. He said, “The vegetation on this island are all probably like this. This one has an extremely high gold content and is a very special plant. All of the vegetation on this island is probably filled with metal elements.”

Not far away, a sailor suddenly let out a miserable cry. Guo Li and the rest turned their heads to look and saw the sailor covering his hands and crying out loudly. He was rolling on the ground in pain. In front of him, there was a small golden crab with a pair of dangerous-looking pincers.

Guo Li saw the crab and immediately understood what had happened. Not only were the plants on this resource island special, but the creatures living here were too. Clearly they had undergone some sort of strange mutation. There were too many metal elements in their bodies, which made their bodies extremely hard and destructive.

Guo Li took a look and said to the people around him, “Don’t provoke the creatures on this resource island for the time being. Avoid getting yourselves hurt.”

Cai Er healed the sailor’s wound. Everyone kept a distance from the native creatures on the resource island after that.

The crab, which was only the size of a fist, easily broke the sailor’s finger. Its strength was really terrifying. Guo Li asked the group to stay together and to build tents and a bonfire. Some of the fuel aboard the fishing boat had been salvaged along with some shattered pieces of wood from the broken hull. These could be used to build a bonfire. The plants on this island were too metallic, and were unlikely to ignite even with the help of fuel.

The sailors all went off to do their own thing. Guo Li discovered a reef and started fishing to see if he could fish up anything special here.

Surprisingly, he caught a few fish. They were plump and fresh fish that were not metallic like the rest of the creatures and plants on the resource island. They were just ordinary fish.

When Guo Li saw this, he understood that the creatures in the nearby waters did not mutate due to the nomadic nature of the resource island.

However, the creatures that had lived on the island for a long time had probably never left the resource island, which resulted in their own unique mutation and habitat.

In that case, it would not prevent Guo Li and the others from getting food, so there was nothing to worry about on that front. He continued fishing and caught some metal ores with higher purity. The sky gradually darkened. The sperm whale had been wandering around the resource island, protecting Guo Li and the others.

The great white shark would occasionally appear near the sea, telling Guo Li that it was nearby and that there was no need to worry about his surroundings.

Cai Er came over to take the sea fish that Guo Li had caught in order to cook dinner.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the resource island. The island seemed to glow with a golden light and looked especially beautiful. On the beach, some small crabs were also shining with a golden light. Everything here looked like it had come out of a dream.

Soon enough, Cai Er was done preparing dinner and called Guo Li over to eat. The group of people gathered together and ate and drank to their hearts’ content.
