At this time, slavery still prevailed on Treasure Island, and Li Yao ignored the naked people running around.
Using the gold and silver island mining map from the Tang Dynasty, they teleported to a nearby gold mine, found a specialized mining detector, confirmed it was a gold mine, located the specific area of the gold mine, and then took over the entire mountain.
As soon as Li Yao finished collecting the items, a sharp pain shot through her head. The system quickly said, "Host, this Heavenly Dao isn't too happy about this. Let me talk to it."
Li Yao responded briefly in her mind's eye, then quickly found a secluded grove of trees to hide in, took out a cup of spiritual spring water, removed her headgear, and drank it. Only then did the pain in her brain ease slightly.
After a while, Li Yao's head finally stopped hurting so much.
At this moment, 6834 said, "Host, the Heavenly Dao says that you have affected the future development of your life. You need to accumulate merit during the various disasters and plagues that will occur in the next ten years, saving at least 100,000 people. When you leave, the merit will be returned to the Heavenly Dao, and it will allow you to take over the Treasure Island."
Li Yao thought she had misheard and repeated, "[You acquired Treasure Island?]"
The system quickly replied, "Yes, host. I told the Heavenly Dao about the deep-seated hatred between you and the people of the Dragon Kingdom, as well as the atrocities they committed in other timelines. The Heavenly Dao may be afraid that you will disrupt this world in your quest for revenge, so it agreed to make amends with merit."
Li Yao: [...Wow, I'm actually that powerful? I can directly disrupt a world?]
System [(⊙o⊙)…Host, maybe…perhaps…you really are awesome?]
After thinking it over carefully, Li Yao felt it was a good deal, since she was saving the people of Daqian anyway. She had the system agree to the Heavenly Dao's conditions, then put on the invisibility cloak, took out her surfboard, flew into the air, and waved her hand to collect the entire Gold and Silver Island.
As for the people on the island, they all used [Spatial Devouring] to solve the problem at its source. Li Yao was happy. After the sea calmed down, she scooped up a lot of seafood and then used [Teleportation Gate] to return to the princess's residence.
After returning to her residence, Li Yao changed her clothes and went to the palace. She informed the emperor that Treasure Island had been sunk by her master, and explained that Heaven required her to save 100,000 people to make up for the disappearance of Treasure Island.
She was also afraid that if she saved too many people and gained a good reputation among the common people, the Emperor and the Crown Prince might have something to say, so she simply explained it in advance. Of course, sometimes it's not the thoughts of family members that are worrisome, but the instigation of outsiders, so it's better to be open about it.
The emperor was very surprised, but he also understood that the deed was done. After thinking for a moment, he gave her a gold medal, allowing her to act freely when rescuing people in the future and to mobilize the local garrison if necessary.
Li Yao expressed her gratitude to the Emperor, and with a wave of her hand, she sent him a lot of seafood, all of which were still alive. The Emperor was both amused and exasperated, and told her to quickly put it away and send it to the Imperial Kitchen, and even invited her to stay for dinner.
After having dinner at the palace, Li Yao returned to the princess's residence and sent some seafood to the kitchen for everyone to eat the next day. She then went to her bedroom to check on the island she had collected.
During this period, the small country still imitated the large country in terms of economy, and used copper coins, so gold and silver were not mined on a large scale. Now all this gold and silver has benefited Li Yao.
She manipulated the gold and silver ore directly within the [Infinite Space] using her consciousness, separating them from the mountain and storing them separately.
There were still some associated copper and other mineral deposits in the mountain, but Li Yao didn't bother with them and planned to deal with them later if needed.
