Chapter 43 - Matters that last for a long time

"Right. There will be plenty of opportunities to eat it in the future!" An Ran said.

Everyone knew that Xiao Yi's ability to double the harvest wouldn't last long.

Otherwise, Xiao Yi wouldn't have emphasized that he would handle the harvest today!

Xiao Yi nodded and immediately listed the remaining 10 jin of blueberries, a total of 200 groups!

Although the quantity seemed quite a lot, they were still sold out in an instant!

"How much high-grade food do you have in your hands?" Di Lin Tian Xia was shocked. "Fortunately, you're in a team. If you were alone, the area of your island would probably exceed a thousand square meters!"

However, Di Lin Tian Xia didn't know that the area of Xiao Yi's island had already exceeded two thousand square meters!

After listing the blueberries, Xiao Yi stopped and posted a message in the public channel.

"Thank you all for your support. Let's have a meal first, and I'll list some other food after the meal!" Xiao Yi said.

"What? There's no more fruit? I still want to buy some fruit!"

"Yeah, I want some too. Even the ungraded ones are fine, as long as there's a large quantity!"

"Yeah, I'll exchange cornerstones for them!"

Seeing everyone's demands, Xiao Yi murmured, "It seems that ordinary fruits can also be exchanged for cornerstones! I've been looking at things from a high position. I should think from others' perspectives more!"

Xiao Yi didn't lack anything here. For him, cornerstones were crucial. As long as the land was vast, the things evolved from it would be enough to sustain their lives.

So he exchanged graded food for cornerstones!

Yuan Nong smiled bitterly. "I didn't think it through either. Ordinary fruits might also have a market!"

"But I don't think the market will be very big!" An Ran said. "Indeed, many people haven't tasted fruits, but their primary concern is survival. Just having enough to fill their stomachs is fine. Fruits aren't a necessity, but graded food is a hard need because it can indirectly increase the probability of individual survival, which is why there's a rush to buy it, just like now!"

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment and nodded. "That makes sense. Let's list some ordinary fruits. Whether they buy them or not, let's have a meal first. After the meal, we'll 'rob' their cornerstones!"

Su Wan had already brought the food to the dining table in the living room.

The three of them, Xiao Yi, walked out, and a giant crab suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Steamed Sea Crab (Grade B): Huge in size, with delicious meat!"

"Who caught this?" Xiao Yi asked in surprise.

Jiang Yuntian walked in from outside and said, "It attacked our cornerstone, and I killed it!"

"Ah, what a pity!" Xiao Yi looked at the sea crab and said.

"Hmm? What's a pity?" Jiang Yuntian was taken aback. "I killed it, didn't I?"

"It would have been better if I had killed it!" Xiao Yi murmured. "If I had killed it, it would have been two grade B sea crabs. Wouldn't that be great?"

"Two?" Jiang Yuntian was increasingly confused!

Yuan Nong whispered an explanation, "Xiao Yi's harvest can double today!"

"Oh, that's why there were eight wild boars!" Jiang Yuntian remembered the wild boars caught in the morning. There were only four at first, but when he finished building the pigsty, there were eight.

He thought Xiao Yi was...

"Don't say the meat is scarce. Even if it's just a mosquito's leg of grade B, I won't mind!"

"Unfortunately, there's a shortage of cornerstones!"

Even though Xiao Yi indicated that the amount of meat from the lower leg was limited, it was still snapped up in an instant!

Xiao Yi chewed on the tiger leg meat in his hand and sighed, "It seems that as long as it's graded, people can't stay rational."

"Indeed. After all, it's a good thing for enhancing strength!" Jiang Yuntian laughed.

Xiao Yi nodded and then ordered, "An Ran, Su Wan, you two remove the parts of the tiger and bear meat that aren't suitable for eating or have a bad taste, and use them all to exchange for cornerstones!"

"Ah? Isn't that too extravagant? After all, they're all grade B!" Su Wan was a bit reluctant.

"It doesn't matter. In the future, we'll only enjoy the delicacies, and sell the rest to exchange for cornerstones. There will be more and more grade B and even grade A meat!" Xiao Yi said.

"Right. It's like an investment of bartering!" An Yue agreed.

"Okay, I'll sort it out immediately!" Su Wan replied.

Soon, Su Wan finished sorting. There were about ten jin of tiger meat and about twenty jin of bear meat.

Xiao Yi thought for a while and sent another message.

"Everyone, a friendly reminder. Although graded food is good, you should also pay attention to the number of island cornerstones. Tomorrow is the last day of the third week, and the sea water will erode the cornerstones again!"

"Great Master Yi Ranpin is here again!"

"The master is so considerate. I like him so much. Why don't you accept me as your disciple? I can even be your subordinate!"

"The master is right. Thank you for your concern! I've obtained quite a few cornerstones this week, and they should be enough!" "Yeah, Master, quickly continue the transaction. I've been waiting for an hour!"

Reminding everyone wasn't out of Xiao Yi's kindness. Instead, he needed their help to collect supplies.

Relying on one island alone, even if each supply box yielded one cornerstone, at most, he could get more than thirty cornerstones a day. How could it be as fast as buying from others!

Moreover, for basic supplies like plastic, glass, copper, iron, and aluminum, very few could be obtained from the supply boxes. Only with the cooperation of everyone could he grow stronger faster!

After giving the reminder, it was up to them to decide!

List the transactions!

"[Kiwi] (Grade C) * 25g in exchange for [Cornerstone] * 1." A total of two hundred groups were listed.

"[Hickory Nuts] (Grade C) * 50g in exchange for [Cornerstone] * 1." A total of two hundred groups were listed.

"[Tiger Meat] (Grade B) 20g in exchange for [Cornerstone] * 1." A total of five hundred groups were listed.

"[Bear Meat] (Grade B) 20g in exchange for [Cornerstone] * 1." A total of a thousand groups were listed.

Xiao Yi listed a large number of transactions in an instant. The trading hall was temporarily stagnant, and then the transactions were completed quickly!

The public channel boiled over again.

"Wow! From now on, Great Master Yi Ranpin is my idol! All the grade B tiger and bear meat has been put up for sale!"

"I thought the master had only hunted one tiger. I didn't expect he had also conquered a bear!"

"The master's team is so powerful. How long would it take to deal with a grade B bear?"

"I guess the master has high-grade weapons in his hands. Otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with grade B beasts with just human strength!"

"What the person upstairs said makes sense, but I'm more concerned about how much meat everyone has grabbed?"

"Haha, I've grabbed three pieces of tiger meat!"

"I've grabbed five pieces of bear meat!"

"The person upstairs is also an expert. You have so many cornerstones!"

"I've obtained twenty cornerstones in six days. Are you favored by the Goddess of Luck?"

With so many groups listed, Xiao Yi thought it would last for a while. But unexpectedly, they were all sold out in just ten breaths!

"Are these people crazy?" Xiao Yi said in surprise, and then thought about what other graded food he could sell.

An Yue was beside the island monument. The wild boar had been tamed, and he knew that as long as it didn't ram the pigsty, it could eat and excrete freely.

"There might be grade C freshwater fish in the freshwater river!" An Yue reminded when he saw Xiao Yi deep in thought.

Xiao Yi slapped his forehead. "How could I forget the resources in the freshwater river! Find a fishing net. Let's go fishing!"

An Yue and Yuan Nong followed Xiao Yi to the freshwater river behind the house with the fishing net.

"We often saw fish jumping out of the water before, but now it's very quiet." Xiao Yi looked at the calm water and said.

"The temperature is too low, and the fish's activity has decreased. To survive the winter, they will dive to the bottom of the river where the temperature is higher." Yuan Nong explained.

"What if the river freezes completely?" Xiao Yi asked curiously.

Yuan Nong smiled. "Then it depends on the fate of each fish! I heard that some fish might still survive after being frozen and then thawed!"

Xiao Yi was amazed. "That's amazing!"

But he wasn't worried that all the fish here would freeze to death. Even if they all froze to death, the world's rules would refresh them!

"Okay, let's cast the net!" Xiao Yi said.

Yuan Nong and An Yue each held one side and pulled the net from the near shore!

After pulling it for five or six meters, they found they couldn't pull it anymore!

There were too many fish!

They had to retract the net first. There were no less than a thousand jin of fish in this net!

Xiao Yi quickly sorted them, separating the graded fish from the ordinary fish!

After casting the net four times, they obtained a total of 423 jin of grade C freshwater fish and 3865 jin of ordinary fish!

"Double harvest. Supplies obtained: Freshwater fish * 7730 kg, Grade C freshwater fish * 846 kg."

An Ran and Su Wan were worried. There were so many fish. When would they finish dealing with them!

Xiao Yi saw their worried expressions and smiled, "Don't worry. Deal with the ordinary freshwater fish slowly. First, deal with the grade C ones. I'll sell them piece by piece."
