Xiao Yi looked at the forest where the leaves were starting to fall in the distance and sighed, "The evolution is too fast. It's hard to keep up!"
Jiang Yuntian cleaned his wound with S-level purified water, drank some of it, and then said, "With the weather getting colder and the food in the forest decreasing, we may be attacked by more wild beasts!"
Xiao Yi nodded and replied, "It seems we're going to be busy for a while!"
Before he finished speaking, Su Wan ran out and said, "Xiao Yi, there are marine creatures attacking our island, and there's more than one!"
"What?" Xiao Yi was surprised and immediately rushed back to the apartment. He saw that two cornerstones of the island were being attacked simultaneously!
"Deal with one each!" Xiao Yi didn't have time to think about the reason. He grabbed his long knife and rushed towards one of the attackers!
Jiang Yuntian didn't say a word and ran towards the other attacker.
Fortunately, these two marine creatures were just ordinary D-level ones, and the two of them easily dealt with them.
After solving the problem, Xiao Yi pondered, "There have never been two marine creatures attacking at the same time. Could it be because there are more people on the island?"
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. According to the rules of this world, it would never allow an island to develop easily.
There were five adults and a child added to Xiao Yi's island. If the attack frequency remained the same as before, they wouldn't feel any pressure!
So, the controller behind this world, or the world itself, would increase the difficulty for Xiao Yi's side!
"It's really never peaceful," Xiao Yi murmured.
Before the two of them returned to the apartment, Wang Cai ran to Xiao Yi and barked.
"Lead the way!" Xiao Yi said, and Wang Cai immediately ran in one direction.
Wang Cai led Xiao Yi to the northwest corner. Sure enough, there were more marine creatures attacking!
"Is this going to be non-stop throughout the day?" Xiao Yi said helplessly.
He had thought that finding helpers would make things easier, but now it seemed he had been too naive!
Just as Xiao Yi killed the sea fish in front of him, Jiang Yuntian arrived.
"The attacks are too frequent!" Jiang Yuntian said in a deep voice.
Xiao Yi nodded and replied, "Yeah, it feels like we're being targeted by this world! Maybe according to the rules, with more people on the island, the number and frequency of attacks will increase!"
"If your guess is correct, are we going to face 28 attacks from marine creatures today?" Jiang Yuntian asked. "Excluding Junjun, there will be 24 attacks!"
When it was just Xiao Yi alone, there were four attacks. With six adults, there would be 24 attacks!
"Yeah. After today, we'll roughly be able to determine if our guess is correct." Xiao Yi answered. Then he set the affiliated island monument on the small wooden boat as the one to report the island's attacks and asked Wang Cai to keep watch on the small wooden boat...
"Wang Cai, if there are sea beasts causing trouble, report it to Brother Jiang immediately!" Xiao Yi ordered.
"Woof!" Wang Cai responded.
"I'll go back to the residence and adjust the mechanism of the fishing net!" Xiao Yi said.
"Alright!" Jiang Yuntian replied.
Just as Xiao Yi reached the door of the residence, Su Wan greeted him and said in surprise, "There are so many sea fish caught tonight, probably more than four thousand!"
An Yue and Wang Cai had already piled up all the fish in one place.
"The number is about right. As the weather gets colder, besides meeting our supply needs, we also need to store some, and pickle and dry them for future use." Xiao Yi replied.
"Yes, sir!" Su Wan promised.
At this moment, the fully automatic fishing net had stopped in front of the residence. This was set by Xiao Yi, and it would return here every morning.
An Yue rushed in from outside and said urgently, "I just went to the yacht and saw many supply boxes in the surrounding sea area. Quickly order the fishing net to operate!"
"Many supply boxes?" Xiao Yi was slightly surprised. He followed An Yue to the seaside and saw that there were indeed many supply boxes floating near the island.
"With more people, the difficulty increases, and the number of supply boxes also increases. This should be the rule!" Xiao Yi pondered to himself.
However, if it was just this, it was still acceptable. Xiao Yi was confident that his island still had an advantage!
Yuan Nong came out from the island and said, "Xiao Yi, I need a large amount of plastic."
"What's it for?" Xiao Yi asked in confusion.
"To make plastic film. As the weather gets colder, we can build simple vegetable sheds with plastic film, so we can plant crops for a few more seasons." Yuan Nong explained.
"How much do you need?" Xiao Yi asked.
"About a hundred square meters of plastic film for each field." Yuan Nong answered.
Xiao Yi returned to the island monument, switched to the manufacturing interface, and looked for the production of plastic film.
No blueprint was needed, but a large amount of plastic was required.
"[Plastic Film]: 10 units of plastic per square meter."
Checking the inventory, there were only four hundred units of plastic left.
In the previous manufacturing blueprints, the amount of plastic used was not much, and Xiao Yi didn't deliberately collect this material.
"I'll make some adjustments. After we've collected enough plastic, we'll make the film!" Xiao Yi said.
Yuan Nong nodded and then left. The fields still needed to be taken care of. Xiao Yi switched to the trading hall, maintained the original transactions, and also added a transaction to buy plastic.
"*50ml of [Plain Boiled Water] or *200g of [Sea Fish] for *1 unit of [Plastic], Note: Large quantities, favorable price."
Someone in the public channel immediately noticed this special transaction.
"There's an expert starting to collect plastic. Those who have plastic can make a fortune!"
"Yeah, I just exchanged for water and food!"
"I wonder if plastic will become a scarce resource in the future."
"It's hard to say. As long as there are experts in the trading hall buying resources, that resource must have something special about it."
When Di Lin Tian Xia saw the transaction to buy plastic in the trading hall, after some thought, he resolutely posted a transaction.
"*10ml of [Purified Water] (Level C) for *1 unit of [Plastic], Note: Level C purified water is very beneficial to the human body."
When everyone saw this transaction, they immediately started discussing it.
"What's going on? There's an expert exchanging Level C purified water for plastic!"
"Is it true? He's willing to offer it. I'll go and exchange some quickly!"
"10ml isn't even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth!"
"Brother, do you think that when people are unlucky, even drinking water will get stuck in their teeth?"
"Water and food with levels can improve physical fitness. One unit of plastic is definitely worth it!"
"Why do these experts need so much plastic?"
"Who cares? Hurry up and make the transaction, or it will be gone soon!"
Everyone chose to trade with Di Lin Tian Xia, and no one showed interest in Xiao Yi's transaction.
In fact, Di Lin Tian Xia was extremely reluctant. To snatch the business from Xiao Yi, this was the only way.
Because he didn't have more supplies to attract people to trade!
Compared with the fresh water river and the running water system that Xiao Yi had, he couldn't compete in terms of ordinary water sources.
In terms of food, Xiao Yi caught three or four thousand sea fish in one night, while he could hardly catch one in a day.
They were not on the same level.
So, Di Lin Tian Xia could only attract people to trade with high-level water sources.
Of course, this "high-level" was only in the eyes of others and not for Xiao Yi.
The moment Di Lin Tian Xia put up the transaction, Xiao Yi also noticed it.
He didn't care. The Level C water purifier had a limited amount of water it could purify in a day, and he still needed to keep some for himself. There were few people he could trade with.
"I guess there are at most a hundred groups!" Xiao Yi whispered.
But Di Lin Tian Xia's transaction ended quickly, and there were only forty groups of transactions recorded.
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "It seems I overestimated you!"
Di Lin Tian Xia exhausted his inventory for two days to gather four hundred milliliters of Level C purified water, which was his limit!
"Why is it all gone?"
"Yeah, I didn't have time to exchange. Who was so quick?"
"Is there any second-hand one for sale? I'm willing to exchange 10ml of Level C purified water for twice the amount of plastic!"
"Damn, you're so greedy. It's four times the price when you resell it!"
"If you don't want to buy it, it's okay. I'll take it!"
"I can really smell the jealousy. Are you jealous, upstairs?"
Xiao Yi posted a message on the public channel to look for Li Yan. Everyone's clothes were worn out after wearing them for a long time!
If he could find An Ran's mother, Li Yan, the textile machine and the loom could be used!
With cloth, they could make clothes!
After sending the missing person message, Xiao Yi silently said in his heart, "System, sign in!"
"Sign-in successful. Acquired supplies: *10 units of cotton seeds (Level S)."
Xiao Yi looked at the sign-in reward and murmured, "It's really like my wish has come true! Next time, I'll try thinking of a spaceship to see if I can get one as a reward!"
Looking at the cotton seeds in the system space, Xiao Yi was in a dilemma again.
There was very little S-level soil in his hand, and there was nowhere to plant the cotton seeds.
"What if we remove the S-level corn?" Xiao Yi thought, but then he immediately rejected this idea.
The S-level corn was food that could enhance physical fitness and couldn't be removed. It needed to be supplied sufficiently.
