Chapter 35 The Island’s Ranking Isn’t Moving? The Worries Of The Outside World

After eating and drinking, Guo Li warned the sailors not to venture too far away. It was best for everyone to stay together. This resource island was neither big nor small. If there were some large beasts in the depths of the island, the situation might take a turn for the worse.

Everyone obediently nodded. After eating, they gathered together. Guo Li asked Wukong to follow him. After casually strolling around the beach, he found a reef and sat down. Inwardly, he was thinking about how he could transfer all the resources on this small island to his own island.

The resource island was neither too big, nor too small. Moreover, it would drift around. He figured that things would work out just fine if he managed to drag it close enough to his own island.

This idea was not impossible to accomplish. After all, Guo Li had always been a daring person.

At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated. Guo Li turned on his phone. The people in the World Chat] channel were still in a heated discussion, and some people even tagged Guo Li on the channel.

He turned on his phone to take a look. Everyone was discussing the Happy Family Association’s assessment. There were even a few players who had achieved some level of fame during this assessment event who tagged Guo Li and called him out.

After all, Guo Li had been too high-profile back when he had paid off Li Ke’s loan. He had even taken out a new loan of 15 million coins from Li Ke after that. Therefore, everyone thought that Guo Li would grab first place during this round’s Happy Family Association assessment event.

However, Guo Li’s ranking had fallen to last place instead.

The reason for this was that Guo Li had yet to return to his island. The buildings on Guo Li’s island had already been constructed; not only did he have an Islanders’ Hall, but even his house had been renovated into a small villa.

Moreover, the calabash brothers had continued to work on constructing more buildings on Guo Li’s Island, in addition to their farming and planting work.

However, since Guo Li had not returned to his island yet, his ranking could not be updated for the Happy Family Association assessment event.

“Everyone, Heavenly Fishing’s achievements are just a flash in the pan. Let’s not pay attention to him.”

“Right, rather than pay attention to Heavenly Fishing, we might as well develop our own island.”

“Let’s disperse. Heavenly Fishing will not appear in the rankings in the future.”

“Actually, I don’t think that Heavenly Fishing will drop out of the rankings. After all, he just hasn’t returned to his own island yet. He’s still out exploring his new resource island.”

“What a joke! Heavenly Fishing hasn’t even returned to his own island, so how could he have time to develop and build his own island? He’s gotten too greedy. So what if he found a resource island? He still doesn’t have the manpower or ability to develop his own island.”

“Let’s go, let’s go. Everyone should go and concentrate on their own matters. Don’t pay attention to Heavenly Fishing anymore!”

Guo Li looked at the (World Chat) channel for a while, but did not post a message. Everything would be revealed when he returned to the island.

At this moment, in the group chat, [Old Book Administrator) tagged Guo Li and asked, “[Heavenly Fishing], what’s your current situation like now? Are you not developing your island anymore? Those rookies who were lagging behind you have already surpassed

you!”

(Shennong Herb Connoisseur): “[Heavenly Fishing), finding a resource island is indeed a good thing, but developing your own island is the foundation of success. Don’t head in the wrong direction!”

(Human Resources Bureau): “[Heavenly Fishing], the rewards from the Happy Family Association assessment are of much greater value than finding a resource island. If you don’t participate, you will miss out on a lot of resources that will be helpful for the initial development of your island!”

Guo Li saw what the experienced players had typed out to him in the group chat, and replied, “It’s okay. I’ll settle my resource island first, then I’ll compete for resources in the assessment. Thank you for your concern.”

When the experienced players saw that Guo Li was not worried, they did not dare to say anything else.

They all had said that Guo Li had to be aware of what was more important, and that he should not blindly look for resources. From their perspective, if he did that, he would not be able to develop his island properly.

He turned off his phone and looked at the sea in the distance with a smile. He was undoubtedly aware of how important the Happy Family Association assessment was. However, a true king would not have to choose between these two. He would simply conquer both.

There was no way he would sacrifice the reward of the Happy Family Association assessment to search for the resource island. Everything would be revealed when he returned to his island.

At this time, the sailors and Captain Jack were constantly letting out exclamations of surprise. This was simply an island full of treasures. There were a large number of mineral resources, and all of them could be used for the island’s development. As long as there was enough equipment and manpower, Guo Li would never run out of mineral

resources.

Guo Li stood up and brought Wukong with him to Captain Jack and the others. Looking at the countless ores under his feet, he was elated. These were all treasures.

After Captain Jack saw Guo Li walking over, he bowed and said, “Master, this island is particularly rich in mineral resources. We just did a simple survey and found that the mineral resources on the entire island account for more than 90% of this island’s total resources.”

This was not a surprise to Guo Li since he knew that the plants and creatures that had lived on this island for a long time had all mutated because of the island’s high metal content.

It was late now, so they could only start mining tomorrow. The sailors began to busy themselves with setting up a temporary campsite. The fragments of the fishing boat that had been smashed by the great white shark had all been transported over to the small island to build a makeshift shelter.

There were great white sharks swimming in the water. After Guo Li communicated with the great white shark, the sharks would not attack the sailors who entered the water.

The camp was built next to the bonfire. Guo Li and Cai Er’s tent was rather spacious. There was also a soft bed found in the wreckage of the fishing boat. After it was dried next to the bonfire, it was put back into the tent.

The other sailors were only staying inside some simple tents. There was a bonfire next to it, so it was not too cold there.

Tonight, Captain Jack was on night duty. He sat quietly next to the bonfire and watched the fire to avoid the bonfire going out.

In the wild, to survive, the bonfire could not be allowed to go out. The bonfire kept everyone warm throughout the night so that the people in the campsite could keep warm.

Secondly, the bonfire would keep wild beasts at bay, which would protect the people while they were resting. It also acted as a deterrent against some poisonous insects, mosquitoes, and ants.

Captain Jack held a pipe in his mouth. After checking on the bonfire, he took out a small glass jar. There was a little coffee powder inside. He poured in some hot water, and the aroma of coffee soon filled the air.

Coffee could refresh him, allowing him to stay awake during his vigil. Taking a deep breath of the aroma of coffee, Captain Jack took a sip, and there was a look of intoxication on his face.
