Lin Bei was very satisfied with this haul.
He immediately invested the 8,000 primal stone he had just acquired into island expansion, increasing the island's area by another 4,000 square meters.
However, since the Resource Points hadn't refreshed for the second day yet, the expanded island area was still a wilderness, just like yesterday.
But Lin Bei wasn't anxious; he just needed to wait for the second day to arrive.
As for now, he first moved the supply treasure chests from the shore into the Warehouse, saving them for later opening.
Inside the Warehouse, Nilu maintained the posture she had when he left—squatting beside the Barbecue Grill, completely motionless, like a wooden stake rooted to the spot.
If Lin Bei hadn't seen her watery eyes and the drool constantly dripping from the corner of her mouth, he would have suspected the girl had been hit by a Petrification Spell.
"Right, doesn't her drool have Healing Properties? I should take advantage of her drooling now and collect some in a bottle."
Lin Bei quickly stepped forward, took out the empty plastic bottle he had used for drinking water earlier, and started collecting the drool.
One drop, two drops, three drops... Time slowly passed.
Finally, the roasted fish was ready.
The refreshing aroma wafted around, and Nilu's mouth, like a faucet that hadn't been fully turned off, began to continuously drip drool.
The speed was more than ten times faster than before.
Lin Bei looked at the Healing Drool filling half the plastic bottle in his hand and nodded contentedly.
Then, he patted Nilu's shoulder and said with a smile, "That's enough. You can eat the roasted shark fin now!"
"Yay!"
Hearing this, Nilu immediately sprang back to life, transforming into an afterimage that appeared before the Automatic Grill. Ignoring the heat, she extended her small, Ruthless Iron Hands, picked up a massive shark fin, and started eating immediately.
Crunching sounds echoed inside the Warehouse.
Lin Bei watched Nilu wolfing down a roasted shark fin, which was half the size of her body, and couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Good heavens, this Loli really has good teeth and appetite. In just a blink, she must have eaten at least a tenth of that huge roasted shark fin, right?"
"But looking at her little belly, there's absolutely no change in size!"
"Could this be the Legendary Stomach of the Alternate Dimension, capable of holding any food without showing any change?"
Lin Bei sighed internally, looked down at the plastic bottle in his hand, and after a moment of thought, decided to run an experiment using the people in the public chat channel.
After the Fierce Battle last night, many people were still injured.
Thus, he immediately used the Crafting Interface to divide the half-bottle of Healing Drool into 50 portions, each approximately 5 milliliters.
[Healing Liquid]
Quality: Perfect
Level: 1
Description: Can be applied externally or taken internally. After use, it rapidly heals physical injuries with excellent results.
"Not bad, not bad! It has that feel!"
Lin Bei smiled widely as he looked at the transparent liquid in his hand, which displayed new description information after being portioned.
Afterward, he immediately listed the 50 portions of Healing Liquid on the Trading Hall, priced at 5 primal stone per portion.
After doing all this, he gave a shout-out in the public chat channel.
This immediately caused a sensation.
"Holy crap! It's a Perfect-grade Healing Potion! Great Lord is awesome!"
"Damn, this Healing Liquid is too incredible! Half my arm was broken yesterday, but I gritted my teeth, snatched a bottle, and applied it to the wound. Now, fresh granulation tissue is growing, recovering at a visible speed! In just a few minutes, my severed arm will grow back!"
"F*ck! These 5 primal stone are totally worth it! The ding-ding that was bitten off by a Sea Fish yesterday actually regenerated! Hahahahaha!"
"Bro above, you seem to have exposed something incredible! Also, out of curiosity, can the regenerated ding-ding still be used normally?"
"I tried it, buddy, and the effect is superb! Not only can it be used normally, but it's harder, thicker, and bigger!"
"Holy hell! This kind of good thing exists? I'm buying a portion too!"
Soon, the topic in the public chat channel was derailed by someone.
Seeing this, Lin Bei couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.
These guys... they really have all sorts of Weirdos and Monsters among them.
He just hadn't expected this Healing Liquid to have such terrifying efficacy; it was quite unbelievable.
But on second thought, Lin Bei felt relieved.
After all, it was a "Perfect" quality Healing Potion, so having this kind of curative effect was somewhat expected.
Afterward, he lurked in the chat channel for a while, and only after confirming that using the Healing Liquid seemed to have no side effects did he slowly let out a sigh of relief.
However, when he looked up again, he was suddenly stunned.
Because Nilu had finished an entire massive roasted shark fin sometime earlier, and was now reaching for the second piece, gnawing on it with a face full of bliss.
"Holy crap, is this little girl the Iron Stomach King? After finishing a roasted shark fin that was half her body size, she still has room for more?"
Lin Bei was completely dumbfounded.
He opened Nilu's Attribute Panel.
[Combat Power: 101 (Slowly increasing through feeding...)]
"It can do that?!"
Lin Bei's mouth twitched slightly, and then he immediately lunged toward the last shark fin, mimicking Nilu's mannerisms and devouring it.
At the same time, he opened his own Attribute Panel, staring intently at the Combat Power column.
However, he was disappointed.
Even though he ate an entire massive roasted shark fin, his Combat Power remained calm as before, not increasing by a single point!
"Sigh, how helpless."
"It seems this is just Nilu's Innate Talent—gaining Combat Power just by eating. This kind of good fortune... I'm so jealous I could cry!"
"Perfect-grade Growth Potential. Very strong, very violent."
Lin Bei felt a little unbalanced internally.
But he quickly reconsidered: Nilu was his most loyal partner. If she became stronger, it was equivalent to him becoming stronger.
As soon as he changed his perspective, his envious mood immediately improved.
He stepped forward and retrieved five huge shark fins directly from the Trading Hall's Temporary Storage Space, spreading them out to cover the Automatic Grill.
Since eating could increase Combat Power, he didn't mind increasing the investment to quickly boost Nilu's Combat Power in a short period!
"Burp~"
Time passed. Nilu lay contentedly on the wooden floor, looking completely relaxed.
Lin Bei's face was also covered in smiles, and looking at the full bottle of Healing Liquid in his hand, his heart felt as sweet as honey.
This one bottle was enough to divide into 100 portions of Healing Liquid.
And the price he paid was merely a few shark fins.
But in exchange, besides the Healing Liquid, he also got Nilu's Combat Power boost!
The Rate of Return was astonishingly high!
Lin Bei was extremely satisfied with this.
This time, he felt like he had won big again.
"Brother Bei, I'm full~ Is there anything that needs doing? I can help!"
Little Nilu rubbed her belly and said somewhat sheepishly.
Her appetite was too large; she had eaten several roasted shark fins in one meal, and she inevitably felt a bit awkward.
"Brother Bei won't abandon me because I eat too much, right?"
"But... the roasted shark fin is really, really delicious~"
"No way, I can't just focus on eating and not work. I must help Brother Bei, so he won't neglect This Baby!"
These were the Mental Activities that flashed through Nilu's mind in one second.
Lin Bei pondered for a moment, first slowly shaking his head, then gently nodding.
He had the Resource Critical Hit System. If he wanted to maximize profits, collecting resources himself was the optimal choice.
But as the island grew larger, he might not be able to do everything alone.
Therefore, help from others was necessary.
Although Little Nilu was small, her current 105 Combat Power was not just for show.
Although her body was small, her strength was immense.
She could definitely help him move the supply treasure chests fished up along the coast.
Additionally, she could help him transport some of the mined Ore and wood resources.
As for the other Resource Points on the island, he could select some later for Nilu to mine on his behalf.
Currently, he could still manage the resources on the island by himself.
"Alright, then I'll give you a task. Listen closely..."
Soon, Lin Bei handed the task to Nilu, who nodded vigorously, then happily skipped away holding a large bucket of Fat House Happy Water with ice cubes.
Lin Bei was not in a hurry to open the supply treasure chests. Instead, he toured the island again, collecting various resources as he went.
"Hmm... a Coconut Tree. Take this punch!"
Boom—!
With one punch, his Combat Power exceeding 300 immediately shattered the towering Coconut Tree in front of him.
At the same time, a Notification Sound rang in Lin Bei's ear.
[Notification: You triggered 100x Critical Hit!]
[Notification: You obtained Fresh Coconut x200! wood x200!]
Crash—
Coconuts and wood, enough to blot out the sky, rained down, burying Lin Bei in the blink of an eye.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Lin Bei waved his hand, clearing a path directly through the pile of wood, and slowly walked out.
This Coconut Tree really gave him face.
It actually triggered the Hundredfold Quantity Critical Hit effect right away.
However, he didn't react quickly enough and ended up being buried alive by the mountain of resources.
Thankfully, no one saw it, otherwise he... "Brother Bei, are you playing Whac-A-Mole? It looks so fun~ I want to play too!"
A crisp voice beside his ear caused Lin Bei's movements to freeze.
"Ahem, Nilu... being too playful is not a good thing! Uh... I have something I need you to do now."
"Next, you need to move these into the nearby Warehouse. I will continuously gather resources, and you will follow behind, slowly transporting them."
Lin Bei straightened his face and spoke with feigned seriousness.
Luckily, he reacted quickly, or it would have been embarrassing.
"As you command!"
Nilu agreed with an excited expression.
Afterward, Lin Bei watched dumbfounded as Little Nilu rolled up her small sleeves and strode toward the Warehouse, carrying a huge pile of wood with swift steps.
That sense of contrast... was simply amazing.
[Notification: You triggered 10x Critical Hit!]
[Notification: You triggered 50x Critical Hit!]
[Notification: You triggered 30x Critical Hit!]
[Notification:...]
Lin Bei continued to wander the island, constantly mining various resources.
Near noon, he finally finished collecting all the resources on the island.
The island became desolate once again.
But in their place were small Resource Hillocks, rising one after another.
"Today was another day full of great harvest."
Lin Bei looked around contentedly, feeling incredibly comfortable inside.
The Protective Suit he wore made him impervious to heat and cold. Although the weather was extremely hot right now, he still felt very refreshed.
After a morning's work, he had already sold quite a few ice cubes.
At this point, he had accumulated another 2,000 primal stone.
He didn't hesitate to use them to continue expanding the island.
Lights flickered around the island, and in just a few breaths, the area expanded by another 1,000 square meters.
At this moment, his island area had reached 6,000 square meters, leaving less than half the work needed to reach the 10,000 square meters required for a Level 4 Island.
Lin Bei returned to the Warehouse, plopped down onto the Lounge Chair, and comfortably drank iced cola.
By his side, supply treasure chests of various colors were piled up, totaling forty chests!
Among them, common treasure chests were the most numerous, totaling fifteen.
Next were Fine treasure chests, with twelve.
As for the remaining chests: six Quality treasure chests, six excellent treasure chests, and finally, one Perfect treasure chest emitting an orange light!
"I've accumulated so many treasure chests; this time, I can finally open them to my heart's content!"
Lin Bei leaned back in the Lounge Chair, casually patted the excellent-grade treasure chest beside him, and silently chanted: "Open treasure chest."
In the next second, purple light flowed.
The excellent-grade treasure chest slowly dissolved into specks of starlight.
The System Notification Sound rang in Lin Bei's ear.
[Notification: Successfully opened excellent-grade supply treasure chest! You triggered 1000x Critical Hit effect!]
Boom—!!!
Resources, like mountains, crashed down.
In just a blink, the Warehouse was overwhelmed by the sudden, surging tide of resources, and then... it instantly collapsed.
Lin Bei... was actually buried alive again by a massive amount of resources.
Nilu, who was still moving resources outside, used Super Acceleration to rush over and check the situation.
Crash.
With a soft sound, Lin Bei poked his head out from the pile of resources.
"Wow! Whac-A-Mole game! I want to play too! I want to play too!"
Nilu shouted in surprise, and before Lin Bei could recover, she launched a Super Acceleration start and charged straight at Lin Bei.
"Wait, Nilu! I..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a deafening crash.
Lin Bei, who had just climbed out of the resource pile and hadn't even had time to catch his breath, was slammed back down by a Streak of Light hitting him.
Lin Bei felt a tightness in his chest. Looking at Nilu, who was also dizzy in his arms, he instantly felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
He looked up at the pitch-black ceiling above him and couldn't help but sigh.
"Sigh, at this rate, no matter how big the Warehouse is, it won't be enough."
"If I could use the kun bag right now, I wouldn't be this unlucky."
"It seems I need to increase my Combat Power as quickly as possible."
He glanced at his Combat Power: 305 points.
He was still nearly 700 points away from reaching the threshold required to use the kun bag.
"That much Combat Power... seems a bit difficult to acquire."
"Wait, it seems I can Change Class now. I haven't had time to check, and I wonder if it can increase my Combat Power!"
Suddenly, Lin Bei's eyes flashed, and a hint of anticipation arose in his heart.
He quickly opened the Class Interface and began to examine it carefully.
