I Created A Wealthy Island By Fishing - Chapter 8

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Guo Li was not particularly moved by the offer. He thought that this so-called black fertile soil was just slightly better than ordinary soil.

Guo Li himself did not know that the other islands were actually very barren, and that even planting crops there would be a miracle. Someone with a full stomach would never be able to understand the anxiety of a hungry person. He even believed that the other party was trying to trick him.

He did not lack food because the supply of fish on his island was endless. There was enough for him to eat for a long, long time. At the very least, the fish on the island would be able to sustain him until he found a new source of food.

However, for Guo Li, fishing was also relaxing and enjoyable. Guo Li did not have to worry about food.

The other party’s flowery words basically did not mean much to Guo Li, who possessed a lot of resources on the island.

On the other hand, the 80,000 coins really tempted Guo Li because he truly lacked money. After all, he had to repay the loan. Moreover, in order to develop the island in the future, he had to establish some sort of agriculture and animal husbandry industry.

Farmland and orchards would both be essential sources of income for the island. Guo Li decided to let the other party raise the offer again. 10 units of fertile soil was not enough to satisfy Guo Li.

Guo Li thought for a moment before replying, “10 units of fertile soil is really too little. After all, golden carp is very scarce.”

Shennong Herb Connoisseur had been anxiously waiting on the other end. When he saw Guo Li’s reply, he cursed, “Profiteer.”

Guo Li’s calmness made him believe that the other party was definitely not an ordinary rookie. In the real world, this newbie had probably been some sly old fox.

He thought about it for a moment and said, “Friend, tell me how much fertile soil you want. You should know that the value of fertile soil is not low.”

He was afraid that Guo Li would ask for too much.

Guo Li replied, “Make me an offer. If the price is right, I’ll sell it.”

Shennong Herb Connoisseur could not help but curse in his heart. This sly old fox did not show any openings. There was no way for him to take advantage of the other party. If he truly wanted it, he had to spend.

He was also worried. The golden carp could increase the island owner’s luck and was thus very attractive to experienced players. His luck had been pretty good in the sense that Guo Li had seen his message and replied right away. If more people found out about the golden carp, its price would only rise, and If it really ended up in someone else’s hands, it would be too late for regret.

Shennong Herb Connoisseur immediately replied, “Friend, I’m willing to add a total of 30 units of black fertile soil to the price. This is also the most I can offer. If you’re still not satisfied, there’s nothing I can do.”

Guo Li saw the other party’s reply. This price had reached its peak. If he continued to push for a higher price, the other party would definitely give up.

Guo Li replied, “Alright, then it’s a deal. 80,000 coins plus 30 units of black fertile soil.”

Shennong Herb Connoisseur soon responded, “In that case, I hope that this is the first of many fruitful transactions. I’ve been in the game world for quite a long time. In the future, I hope that we can be friends. If you have any questions, you can come and look for me anytime.”

The method by which transactions were completed was very simple. One only needed to put their own items into the allocated area inside the [Private Message] interface, while the other party would also put theirs inside at the same time. The transaction could then be carried out. Guo Li could see the item description of the other party’s items from his side. Information regarding the black fertile soil soon appeared in front of Guo Li.

The transaction was successful. 80,000 coins and 30 units of black fertile soil were all placed into Guo Li’s inventory.

After that, the two of them left their phone’s contact details with each other. They would be able to call and message each other without having to use the [Private Message] function. In the future, they could purchase each other’s items at any time.

At this moment, Guo Li took advantage of this opportunity to ask Shennong Herb Connoisseur about the game world. From his explanation, Guo Li also learned that there were many other functions and options in this game world.

For example, there was an online shopping mall built into the phone called [Rainforest Mall]. Every island owner would be able to open their own online store here and sell their island’s specialty products.

He also recommended that Guo Li open his own store. In the future, when had excess resources, he could put them up for sale in the store.

Moreover, there was also an express delivery service in the game world. They were carried by the Dodo Express Company under the Fox Group. There was no express delivery fee, but there was a commission rate charged.

In this game world, there were many business models that were identical to the real world. However, they were not clearly introduced and had to be explored and discovered by the players themselves.

At present, whether it was trading or shopping, things were relatively simple and convenient in the game world.

Seeing that Guo Li was done asking questions, Shennong Herb Connoisseur said goodbye to him and went off to do his own thing.

Guo Li took out his phone and sat on the ground while fishing. While he was studying the different functions available on the phone, he also activated the [Big Game Hunter] skill. Soon, another golden carp took the bait.

Wukong, who was sitting next to him, started drooling. It was chattering and could not wait to eat some roasted fish. Guo Li told it not to be anxious and that he would roast the fish later.

He continued fishing and a few fish appeared here and there, followed by another golden carp.

For half a day, Guo Li sat by the lake and fished, enjoying the simple pleasures of fishing. He also occupied himself by studying the various functions of the phone.

By the time he was done looking through the phone’s functions, Guo Li had caught seven or eight golden carp. Perhaps his luck was exceptionally good today, or maybe it was due to the [Big Game Hunter] skill. In any case, he was feeling pretty good about himself.

He had caught ten golden carps so far. If these were converted to coins, he would have hundreds of thousands of coins.

Guo Li also opened his own online store using the rainforest mall app, naming it ‘Heavenly Fishing’. His primary business model was to sell all kinds of aquatic products.

He had to rely on the island’s resources to survive, after all. Since he had the support of the system, and the abundance of aquatic products in the lake, it would be too much of a waste if he did not open his own store.

Guo Li revised the descriptions of his products to make them sound more novel.

He picked up the golden carp and the ordinary crucian carp and took close-up pictures of them. With a single click, he designed a cover for the store and uploaded it.

He then had Wukong make a few poses as the store mascot. Guo Li also snapped a few pictures of himself to upload to the store.

The golden carp was listed as a private-bid product, with the minimum offer set at 80,000 coins. It was a rare item, after all.

After everything was done, Guo Li finished the setup process and activated the shop, waiting for the first customer to come knocking.

On the other hand, he was not idle either. He was still fishing. Wukong, who was next to him, was screeching anxiously, eager to taste the delicious roasted fish.

As for the golden carp, Guo Li listed all 10 of them in the store at once.

If he could catch more golden carps, paying off the loan was not an impossible dream.
