Chapter 3 The Food Crisis
After Xiao Li tried a few times, he understood the use of this golden finger, when he made a wish, the 'Wish Heavenly Book' would give the prestige value needed to realize this wish, as long as the prestige value was enough, the wish could be realized.
Xiao Li touched the iron fishhook in his hand, still feeling incredible, but the cold touch on the fishhook reminded him that all this was true.
Xiao Li's thoughts turned, and soon a few more fish hooks appeared in his palm, no matter how strange the shape he requested, as long as he thought about it, the fish hooks that appeared were exactly what they were, no different.
After experimenting a few times, Xiao Li withdrew from his mind with considerable satisfaction, he only wanted to test how much benefit this fishhook could bring to Chongtian Island.
The next day, Ryan went out to sea with the others, and he wanted to see how amazing the hook was and whether it was necessary for Chongtian Island to abandon the traditional harpoon.
Sou!
After Xiao Li added bait to the hook, he flicked the long stick in his hand, and the hook drove the fishing line into the sea, leaving only a swim bladder made of dry branches floating on the surface of the sea.
The crowd is confused, and this is the end? Can this really catch a fish?
Sea Shark Island also has fishing hooks, but they've heard that they should only be used for recreation, not as fishing tools. If you catch fish with that hook, they'll starve to death.
Just as everyone's faces were full of doubts, the dry branch suddenly moved, and then it was suddenly dragged into the sea. Xiao Li tightened the fishing rod in his hand and almost got out of control.
The fish has taken the bait!
Xiao Li pulled the fishing line in an orderly manner, the fishing line went from far to near, and when everyone saw the fish clearly, their faces were incredible.
Can this also be done?
And such a stupid fish?
The crowd was amazed.
"Not bad!" Ryan was also full of praise for the hook, obviously satisfied.
Burst!
Harriman was a little anxious, and when he saw the fish in the harpoon's range, he immediately waved the harpoon in his hand and pulled the harpoon up.
He looked at the salted fish in his hand and was dumbfounded, but quickly reacted, looked at Xiao Li and said, "Island master, is there any such hook?"
Xiao Li nodded, "There are quite a few, this is also the fishing tool I want to promote, although he is not as good as a fishing net, but for our Chongtian Island, it is an epoch-making product, which can raise the amount of fishing to a new level." ”
When the people heard this, they were very excited, and if this kind of hook became widespread, they would not need to go into the water.
"You must know that in the past, there were not many people who died in the sea on Chongtian Island, and if we could use this kind of fish hook, the safety would be much improved. Ryan looked at the sea with a pair of eyes, as if remembering something unfortunate.
Xiao Li was a little puzzled, could it be that there were sharks in this shallow sea? In that case, Chongtian Island used to live in the water and fire.
Ryan saw his confusion and shook his head, "It's not a shark, it's a spasm." If you have this symptom while fishing, it will be difficult to float. ”
"I see!"
Xiao Li realized that if he suddenly convulsed in the sea, it would indeed be a fatal thing, "But now that there are fish hooks, the islanders don't need to go into the water, and maybe they can increase the number of laborers." ”
Indeed, if some children and the elderly can fish on the beach, the catch of Chongtian Island will be greatly increased, and more rice will be exchanged. Ryan said and looked at Xiao Li, "Lord Xiao Li, you are really the savior of our Chongtian Island!"
Xiao Li hurriedly stopped and signaled him not to do this, if this was the case, he would be embarrassed. He thought to himself, this is just a matter of each other.
In fact, he never thought he would become an island owner, and he succeeded.
......
With excitement in their hearts, everyone returned to Chongtian Island ahead of schedule and began to collect materials for making fishing lines.
There is a vine on Chongtian Island, its vine is extremely tough and strong, and it is easy to see them on the palm houses in the residential area.
Previously, this rattan was used to hold houses in place, but now it is one of the candidates for fishing line.
Xiao Li tried several candidate materials, and found that rattan was the most suitable, not only tough and firm, but also easy to source.
After exchanging fifty iron fishhooks, the information about the deduction of reputation points was immediately transmitted, and it was not like a mechanical sound like some systems, but it was clearly recorded on the first page of the "Book of Wishes", like an account book.
Xiao Li flipped through the bill and quickly found a bug. He found that after exchanging iron fish hooks and deducting reputation, there was a strange thing about increasing reputation.
The page clearly reads: Exchange for 50 iron hooks, deduct 50 reputation points. Due to the increase in the strength of Chongtian Island, the reputation is increased by 100 points.
In this way, doesn't it mean that as long as you exchange more cross-era products, you can steadily earn prestige points?
Xiao Li was eager to try, and soon made a wish to exchange for the 'Desert Eagle'.
Desert Eagle: 50 Fame.
"Redeem. Xiao Li said silently.
Swish!
A silver-white Desert Eagle appeared on the table out of thin air, but it did not increase the reputation value as Xiao Li imagined, and after exchanging the Desert Eagle, although the reputation value increased, it was only a few points.
Xiao Li frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, he found the problem, it turned out that the way to calculate the reputation value was based on the entire Chongtian Island, and exchanging a desert eagle obviously could not bring much benefit to Chongtian Island.
Although the Desert Eagle is a cross-era product, it is obviously not qualified to challenge the weapons of this era on its own.
......
After the fish hook was made and popularized throughout Chongtian Island, the fishing volume of Chongtian Island skyrocketed, breaking new highs every day.
Just when everyone was looking forward to living a good life, an unfavorable news swept in.
Sea Shark Island has lowered the price of purchased dried fish!
In the past, a bag of dried fish could be exchanged for half a bag of rice, but now after Sea Shark Island lowered the purchase price, a bag of dried fish can only be exchanged for a quarter of a bag, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to Chongtian Island.
Ryan pondered for a long time, then sighed deeply and said, "Did Jiang Yi Island Master say anything?"
The middle-aged man who went to Sea Shark Island to exchange for supplies shook his head, "No, but I heard from the grain captain that it was not that they Sea Shark Island deliberately lowered the purchase price, but that the ship that transported grain from the mainland had changed, and they didn't receive rice now." ”
Ryan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, looked at everyone, and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I also encountered this kind of bad news when I was a child, and it will always come in the end." However, during this time, we also have to save money to get through this difficult time. ”
Xiao Li stood aside and stared blankly, he was like a beginner at this time. Obviously, when it comes to dealing with these issues, Jiang is still old and spicy, and Ryan has taught him a profound lesson.
