Chapter 27 - Setting Sail

Chapter 27 Setting Sail

After discovering the island, Guo Li immediately thought of a good idea. He wanted to go over to the island to explore it and also bring back those resources to his own island.

Only then would he have enough mineral resources to use for the island’s developmental projects. That way, he would not have to buy other people’s ores at a high price.

Guo Li asked Big Baby to pack up the things around the temporary campsite. He wanted to return to home base to make some arrangements. Big Baby immediately started packing up.

Cai Er saw this and immediately figured out that he was going to the small island with mineral resources. She hurriedly said, “Guo Li, we don’t have a boat right now. It’s very dangerous.”

Guo Li held Cai Er’s hand and said as they walked back, “Don’t worry. I have a fishing boat. When the time comes, all we need to do is transport it to the sea.”

The group then walked toward base camp. Along the way, Cai Er noticed that Guo Li’s island was huge. It was much bigger than her own Rainbow Island. The resources here were indeed plentiful.

They passed through the forest and returned to the home base. Thanks to thenew blueprint, the look and feel of the home base had changed greatly. The calabash brothers made good use of the time to fully construct the Islanders’ Hall. Next to it, the wooden house next to it had also become an exquisite small villa. It was very beautiful.

The busy calabash brothers did not dare to stop working. They followed Guo Li’s instructions to the letter and completed the objectives and tasks he assigned.

Cai Er was dumbfounded when she first laid eyes on the home base. She was also an experienced player in the game world. However, it was the first time she had seen such a beautiful home base. There was a huge Islanders’ Hall and an exquisite small villa. There was also a courtyard around it, which housed some flowers and small trees inside.

Cai Er held Guo Li’s arm and said, “Guo Li, is this your home base? It’s too beautiful. My Rainbow Island has been around for so long, yet compared to your island, it’s not even worth mentioning!”

Guo Li smiled and said, “This is just the beginning. When my island is completely developed, you will know the true meaning of beautiful.”

Cai Er felt that her choice to follow Guo Li was the right one. Guo Li definitely had plenty of potential. In time, he would definitely be one of the most powerful island owners in the game world.

When the calabash brothers saw that Guo Li had returned, they quickly ran over to report on the progress of their work. “Master, we have completed the construction of the Islanders’ Hall according to your instructions. We have also renovated your house. Please take a look and see if there are any areas that you are not satisfied with.”

Guo Li nodded lightly and said, “Not bad. You guys continue the good work. Use these new blueprints. Just build them according to the requirements written on the blueprints.”

After saying that, Guo Li brought Cai Er into the Islanders’ Hall to recruit some manpower.

The recruitment process was immediate. No one knew what kind of islander they would recruit; it was completely dependent on luck. Guo Li silently prayed that he wouldget someone reliable the first time around.

When the recruitment process was completed, Guo Li looked at the scene in front of him. He was shocked! He could not believe it! The one who walked out of the recruitment portal was actually that man!

Wearing a wide-brimmed hat, an eyepatch, and a captain’s jacket; it was actually the legendary Captain Jack.

Captain Jack walked out of the portal and walked over to Guo Li. He took off his hat and bowed slightly to Guo Li. “Hello, my master. Captain Jack is happy to be of service to you.”

Guo Li was pleasantly surprised. In this game world of Everyone’s Island, Guo Li was really lucky to have been able to recruit Captain Jack. He opened up Captain Jack’s character panel and took a look, after which he let out a gasp of admiration.

This man was simply born for the sea. Captain Jack’s ability to steer the ship was especially notable. No one was better than him!

Guo Li patted Captain Jack’s shoulder and said, “Very good, Captain Jack. With you by my side, this trip out to sea will be much safer. I hereby appoint you as the vice-captain of my (fishing boat). You will be in charge of sailing my fishing boat out to sea.”

Captain Jack bowed again and said in a gentlemanly manner, “I am happy to be of service, master!”

Cai Er was stunned. She never imagined that Guo Li would recruit Captain Jack, the man who sailed ships perfectly.

After that, Guo Li took out his phone. He did not have enough manpower for the trip and needed some sailors to follow him out to sea.

Guo Li privately messaged (Human Resources Bureau) and hired some temporary sailors as part of his preparations for going out to sea.

Human Resources Bureau immediately arranged for some crew members to join Guo Li based on his request requirements. As the fishing boat was too small, it did not require too many sailors to man.

Human Resources Bureau asked, “Heavenly Fishing, are you preparing to go out to sea? The sea area is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you might even lose your life. Besides, do you even have a fishing boat?”

Guo Li smiled and showed Human Resources Bureau his fishing boat. The latter was speechless. Why did Guo Li have everything and how did he develop so quickly? He was just a rookie, but he actually had his own fishing boat already! Human Resource Bureau himself was still working hard to save up money to buy a fishing boat!

Human Resources Bureau stopped talking to Guo Li. His pride had taken too much of a blow.

After ending the call, the sailors arranged by Human Resources Bureau arrived. They were all strong and well-built. They were experienced sailors who were familiar with the whims and fancies of the sea.

Everything was ready. The next thing he had to do was to transport the fishing boat from the lake to the sea. There was a small stream here that flowed into the sea. Guo Li gave an order to the calabash brothers and sailors, telling them to find a way to move the fishing boat into the sea. He sat on the saltwater crocodile and leisurely took a step forward.

The calabash brothers prepared the materials needed to go out to sea, and later pushed the fishing boat into the stream with the sailors. From there, they slowly pushed it toward the sea.

Although it was a little difficult, there were so many strong men and the stream was not overly shallow. Given those two factors, it was very easy to push the fishing boat along. By the time they met up again, the fishing boat was already in the sea.

The fishing boat, which originally looked rather imposing in the lake, seemed to have shrunk after entering the sea, and was constantly buffeted by the waves.

Everything was ready. Guo Li got on board and checked it. Captain Jack also skillfully checked the equipment on the fishing boat. The sailors tied the ropes made by the calabash brothers and carried out the final checks. After everything was ready, Guo Li asked the calabash brothers to continue the construction work on the island. He also passed them the new blueprints that he had fished up.

Guo Li and the rest then set sail and headed out to sea.
