[Announcement! Heavenly Fishing has become the first novice player in this game to merge an ownerless island with his initial island!)

[…]

Three red announcements appeared on the (World Chat] channel. When all the players saw the announcements, they were all stunned. At this moment, there was only one thought passing through their minds.

How did Heavenly Fishing make the huge resource island move according to his wishes? Moreover, it had successfully merged with his original island!

It was true that the resource island could move, but its movements were not something that could be controlled by the players. The direction in which it drifted was completely out of their control.

There was once an experienced player who had tried to merge his initial island with the resource island. He tried every means possible, but failed to achieve anything. In the end, even after he worked together with more than ten other experienced players, he was still unable to accomplish this difficult task.

As a novice player, Guo Li had actually managed to merge his initial island and the resource island together. It was unbelievable!

“Oh my God! What did Heavenly Fishing do? He actually merged the resource island and the initial island together?!”

“Terrifying! I was just saying that Heavenly Fishing did not seem to be in a hurry to complete the Happy Family Association assessment. It turns out that he was thinking of a way to merge these two islands together!”

“Heavenly Fishing has accomplished a feat that countless experienced players can only ever dream of accomplishing!”

“Big Brother is awesome. Please accept my kowtow. I admire you so much!” The World Chat] channel was in uproar. Many people had gone crazy. No one could figure out how Heavenly Fishing had managed to merge the two islands together.

Guo Li looked at the players discussing his achievement in the world channel and smiled. He then went to work.

At this moment, another world announcement appeared again.

“Announcement! Heavenly Fishing has completed an island merger for the first time. He has obtained an S-grade reward. All the resources on his island have been doubled!”

“Announcement! Heavenly Fishing has completed an island merger for the first time. He has obtained an S-grade reward. All the resources on his island have been doubled!”

“Announcement! Heavenly Fishing has completed an island merger for the first time. He has obtained an S-grade reward. All the resources on his island have been doubled!”

The continuous notifications from the world announcements made all the players extremely envious. Everyone knew that the resources on Heavenly Fishing starting island were extremely plentiful. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the rookie king within such a short period of time.

However, his resources had now been doubled. This was simply heaven-defying!

Guo Li stared at the world announcement with his mouth agape. Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that merging the resource island with his initial island would have yielded such a generous reward. The resources on his island had actually doubled!

A seven-colored ray of light appeared in the sky and enveloped Guo Li’s island. The vegetation on the island started growing crazily. The size of the forest doubled, and dense, towering trees suddenly appeared in places where there had been no trees.

The river and lake’s resources also doubled. The streams that had been quietly flowing suddenly surged wildly, and countless fish emerged from the depths of the water.

On the resource island, the mineral resources also doubled, and more than ten huge mines appeared out of thin air. Seeing this, the slaves and giant pincer crabs were dumbfounded.

Cai Er also saw the world announcement. She threw herself into Guo Li’s arms happily and said, “Guo Li, you’re so amazing. The resources on our island have doubled!”

Guo Li was also very happy. With more resources, Guo Li would be able to do more things in the future. He could earn money faster and develop better. It was only a matter of time before he caught up with those experienced players.

Guo Li instructed the barbarian slaves and giant pincer crabs to continue mining the ores. He settled the sharks and sperm whale down and brought the sailors back to his home base.

When Guo Li caught a glimpse of his home base, he was shocked. The place had transformed completely. There was a large Islanders’ Hall, huge villa, and various other buildings constructed from the blueprints; rows and rows of bountiful crops appeared in front of Guo Li’s eyes.

The fruit-laden forest, the laden wheat ears and rice, the neatly-growing corn, and the dense patches of soybeans…

Guo Li did not know how to describe this scene. It could only be said that, during Guo Li’s absence, the calabash brothers had been really diligent and hard-working, and managed the entire island in an orderly manner.

When they saw Guo Li return, the calabash brothers rushed over and shouted, “Greetings, Master.”

Guo Li lavished praise onto the calabash brothers. Their performance left Guo Li completely satisfied. These buildings even exceeded Guo Li’s expectations.

“Very good. During my absence, your performance has been excellent. You managed my island in a very orderly manner.”

After praising them, Guo Li took Cai Er over to take a look at his villa.

There were many fruits and flowers planted in the front yard. It was more like entering a small park than a house garden. There were stone tiles inlaid on the tree-lined path.

In the center, there was a rockery, which was surrounded by a pond. There were more than ten golden carps in it, which could increase the owner’s luck.

The wooden villa was divided into three floors. The first floor contained the guest rooms, dining area, kitchen, and a corridor. The second floor was the owner’s living area. The third floor had an excellent view. Considering that Guo Li liked to fish, there was also a large pond in the backyard. One could even fish there from the third floor. The calabash brothers had indeed been very thoughtful.

At this time, the Happy Family Association’s assessment team contacted Guo Li. The assessment was about to begin. Among all the new players, as long as one’s score was above Grade A, they would be able to obtain exclusive rewards. If their score was above Grade S, they would be rewarded with a large ship.

Guo Li was one of the last players to take the assessment. Among the players that had already taken the assessment, there were already many novice players who had obtained quite a high score. If Guo Li wanted to overtake them, his assessment score would need to be top-notch.

There was not much time left until the assessment. The Happy Family Association hoped that Guo Li could start the assessment process as soon as possible. As such, Guo Li had to make good use of the time to develop the island in order to obtain a high score. He had to get a good ranking and reward.

There were many ‘experts’ talking about it, and everyone was looking forward to it. If Guo Li, as the rookie king, was left behind in the rankings, it would be the biggest joke in the world!
