"I see... But why are you here? ”

"I'm here looking for something." Hearing this, Anina looked slightly distressed, "I have an important item missing, and the last place where it appeared was in this sea. ”

"That's why I found it all the way here, but it's such a big sea..."

When Ji Chen heard this, his face was immediately full of enthusiasm, "I am the lord of this archipelago, you can describe the appearance of this thing, and I can mobilize people to help you find it." ”

"Mobilize manpower?" Anina hesitantly looked at the shallow sea fishmen, Naga warriors, and sea elves on the side.

Then he nodded slightly, reluctantly agreeing with this statement.

Although they are all races with inferior blood, the chances of finding them are much greater than if she were alone.

"It's a sachet whose exterior is made of special leather, and it dries quickly when you take it out of the water..."

The expression on Ji Chen's face was a little subtle.

Did he catch such a thing yesterday?

"See if it's this?"

He pulled out the mysterious trinket from his equipment slot.

Anina's eyes lit up, and her eyes were full of joy: "This is it!" But why is it on your hands? ”

"I caught it from the sea yesterday..."

The dragon whale girl came to the front with a giant sword and reached out to take the ornament.

Pinned it to his waist and groaned for a moment before continuing to speak.

"Human, since you helped me find the accessory, then I can do one thing for you."

"Whether it's killing or other things, as long as it's within my power, I'll swear by the blood of the deep-sea dragon whale."

The dragon whale girl raised the giant sword as easily as if she had picked up a wooden stick and inserted it into the tidal flat, and in an instant, most of the tip of the sword that had sunk into the ground made Ji Chen's brows jump.

She clasped her hands to her chest and said proudly.

Anything goes?

And such a good thing!?

That can be my person... Ahh

Of course, although he thought so in his heart, Ji Chen naturally wouldn't be so stupid to say it directly.

This kind of girl with a muscular brain naturally has to be tackled slowly.

"Do something for me?" Ji Chen groaned, looked at her and said, "I will go out in a few days, and the defense of the territory will become empty." ”

"So if you can, I'd like you to stay and help me guard for a while."

Anina blinked, and her slightly puzzled gaze seemed to say:

That's it?

"Leave it to me for such a simple matter." The dragon whale girl patted her chest and said confidently, "I promise to make your territory safe." ”

He also smiled, "That's great, with your help, then I'm much more relieved." ”

"It's not the bloodline of the deep-sea dragon whale, it's really extraordinary."

Anina snorted softly twice through her nose, the corners of her mouth curled, and she seemed to be quite comfortable with these words.

He also found out.

Although this muscular girl is very strong and terrifying, her heart is not much different from that of an ordinary human girl.

The dragon whale girl remembered something, as if it was something extremely important, and hurriedly asked, "Then do you have food and accommodation here?" ”

He was slightly stunned and smiled dumbly, "Of course, I will receive you with the courtesy of the most distinguished guests, you don't have to worry." ”

The dragon whale girl breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, "Then I'll be relieved." ”

Ji Chen's eyes were a little subtle at this time.

How it looks, this kid is a little... Too simple?

It's like you've never had much contact with humans or other sapient beings?

But in that case, it's better to start.

A blank piece of paper is the easiest to dye color...

Ji Chen took Anina and returned to the territory.

Immediately called Willus.

"Go and prepare the best house for this distinguished guest now, and deliver food at regular intervals."

"In addition, we must send two maids to be on standby at any time, and there must be no slackness."

Willus looked at Ji Chen with a serious face, glanced at him, and immediately understood.

Hurriedly saluted.

"Yes, I'll make sure it's done."

Seeing this, Ji Chen nodded with satisfaction and looked at Anina.

"If you need anything else, just speak to the maid or Willus."

"You can also come to me directly, and I will try my best to be satisfied."

This is how it goes.

The simple dragon whale girl was a little embarrassed, and nodded slightly embarrassed, "I know." ”

Watch as Willus takes Anina to her residence.

The corners of Ji Chen's mouth hooked up with a smile.

The little whale is not obedient to my net.

The next day.

He came to the wild coffee tree.

The coffee trees, which are fenced off, are ripe at this time.

Bright red dripping, plump coffee beans hang on the branches.

【Specialty Coffee Tree】

[Grade]: Special

[Status]: Mature

[Use]: to produce 4-star specialty coffee beans

[Product Effect]: Eating and quoting specialty coffee beans can greatly increase the mana recovery speed, and the upper limit of mana can be slowly increased in the long term

[Output]: 2 units/week

[Currently available]: 2 units

Twenty-five wild coffee trees, this time a total of 50 units of specialty coffee beans can be collected.

Big catch.

In addition to specialty coffee beans, the other two specialties have also been harvested.

In particular, the precious jungle wood, along with the felling of ordinary trees, obtained a considerable amount.

The warehouse was filled with bushwood trees, enough to fill half of the cargo hold of a two-masted merchant ship.

Wait until the next time Raymond comes.

I'm afraid that a two-masted merchant ship will not be able to fill it.

Ji Chen planned to sell a batch of precious jungle wood and earn a batch of resources needed by the territory, and then began to slowly reduce the production.

After all, scarcity is expensive.

If there is too much in the market, the price may be lowered.

Only by tightly controlling the output can you sell at the best price.

What's more, the island's jungle wood is not endless, and over-cutting can lead to depletion of resources.

If the chickens that lay the eggs are boiled, there will be no eggs to eat after that.

"But then we have to try to find more specialties, so that we can diversify the specialties exported by the territory, so that we can continue to exchange resources from the outside world..."

"In addition, after the territory is upgraded to the town level, it may be possible to start developing high-end products, not only selling raw materials, but adding added value and extending the industrial chain."

"For example, the jungle wood is made into furniture, jewelry and other secondary processing products, the specialty coffee beans are processed into coffee powder, and the coffee powder and even mana potions are made..."

"In this way, we can maximize the value of special products and make more money and resources..."

The more Ji Chen thought about it, he felt that this was the future development direction of the territory.

It may seem simple, but it's actually quite difficult to do.

Especially on such a relatively closed island, the difficulty has increased several times.

Talents, resources, transportation, channels.

They are all mountains that need to be crossed.

He couldn't help but sigh.

There's a long way to go.
