Chapter 70 The Fish Took the Bait



Lin Xu raised an eyebrow when he saw Wang En's statement.

Then he smiled and replied:

[As expected of Chen Shao's men, they're just as stupid as he is. You bunch of good-for-nothings, are you even capable of killing anyone?]

Wang En, who was on the other side, remained silent for a while before speaking again:

【You already know the coordinates of our next meeting point. Do you dare to come there in three days and see who dies?】

Lin Xu burst out laughing.

Unexpectedly, the provocative tactics used by Zhao Tian and Qin Liang were also employed by their superiors.

Is this a continuation of a similar lineage? Or simply birds of a feather flock together?

However, since the other party was so confident, Lin Xu decided to go with the flow.

Having just killed a group of henchmen, the island lord reaped a huge harvest.

I wonder how generous the reward would be if I killed a knight?

Lin Xu:

Okay, then get ready and wait for me at those coordinates.

After he said that, the other party fell completely silent, seemingly ready and waiting for Lin Xu to "take the bait".

Lin Xu also closed the communication interface.

However, he narrowed his eyes and called Xiaoyu over:

"Tonight might be a bit tiring for you. After we collect the loot, we'll move the island to this coordinate overnight."

Lin Xu told him the coordinates of where Wang En and his group had gathered.

These people said they wanted to gather here and challenge him to a fight, but Lin Xu was naturally not afraid of them.

But if you expect him to obediently follow the other party's arrangements and actually wait three days before showing up, then you're overthinking it.

Lin Xu had no intention of being led by the nose by the enemy.

Moreover, among the noble factions, there is a type of island lord who is specifically responsible for transportation, and will transport the spoils collected and plundered by other lackeys to the noble himself.

If these people are given three days, all the benefits they've plundered will be gone.

Xiaoyu nodded seriously after hearing Lin Xu's words:

“Master, I possess multiple thought abilities. Even while sleeping, I can maintain a consciousness to manipulate the island's wind direction without hindering your plans.”

Lin Xu's eyes lit up.

He had forgotten about Xiaoyu's special skill.

The ability to think in multiple ways is truly amazing. Xiaoyu is now almost like a supercomputer, and a computer with elven intelligence at that.

With such subordinates to assist them, tracking and raiding through the night is really just a small matter.

Lin Xu prepared to take action as soon as possible and reach the coordinates agreed upon by the knight.

At this point, he wasted no time and began to process the spoils of war.

Compared to searching for wandering floating soil, plundering other island owners is indeed more profitable right now.

Lin Xu killed eleven island lords. These island lords' islands had obviously been cut up and remodeled, probably because Chen Shaojie had taken some interest and taken away most of their territory.

Even so, each person's island is about 1,000 meters long and 10 meters wide, and is a long and narrow island shaped like a warship.

Of course, the shapes of these islands are not entirely regular.

After all, these island lords couldn't possibly avoid encountering loose soil, and they also plundered some blocks and pedestals as they killed other island lords along the way.

So all in all, each of these 11 islands is more than 10,000 square meters.

Although the island world does not encourage island owners to kill each other, those who seize or kill occupied islands can only obtain one-tenth of the territory.

In other words, Lin Xu can only obtain 1,000 square meters of territory from each island owner.

However, the combined area of ​​the 11 island owners is also square meters, which is equivalent to a block.

Even if all of them were stacked a hundredfold, there would still be 110 of these blocks, enough to expand Lin Xu's island area tenfold.

Although the island owners were all small fry and the blocks they collected were just ordinary types of land, Lin Xu didn't find them too picky.

After all, with his abilities, even basic blocks are excellent materials; with a little processing, their value can skyrocket.

At this point, Lin Xu selected the blocks he wanted to occupy, and then dismantled or smelted the valuable equipment and materials, returning them to his island.

Now that we're in the beginner phase, moving and merging blocks still requires energy.

Fortunately, with Xiaoyu's help, Lin Xu now finds it much easier to manipulate the ley lines and blocks, and the energy consumption has become much smaller.

He swallowed and fused all of these blocks, a process that only consumed most of the energy contained in the ley line blocks, plus the 10 energy blocks stored by Xiaoyu.

This efficiency and ability to modify and move blocks is unique among island owners; even some veteran island owners cannot move blocks and modify the terrain so easily.

After Lin Xu finished setting up all the blocks, the fertile soil block under the peach tree finally merged with enough forest blocks, and it also expanded to an additional 9 square meters.

The peach tree can finally grow bigger and develop towards a higher quality.

Lin Xu also successfully collected the more rock blocks needed for the Fountain of Life, expanding it to a 3x3 9-square-meter block, and further enhancing its effectiveness and quality.

In addition, many of the blocks were combined by Lin Xu to form ocean blocks.

The ocean blocks are now 10x10 in size, which is 100 square meters.

However, because there weren't enough blocks, Lin Xu couldn't stack the ocean blocks to 100 layers. He only stacked them to the minimum of 30 layers so that they could generate new bases.

Even so, these ocean blocks underwent a qualitative change, and a real marine ecosystem began to grow and expand in the lower ocean layer, including corals, seaweed, shrimp, and crabs, all of which began to form on the seabed.

In addition, large fish have finally started appearing in this block.

Moreover, they are two major groups of fish.

One of them is bluefin tuna, and the other is large yellow croaker.

Upon seeing these two types of fish, Lin Xu's eyes lit up.

In their previous lives, both of these fish were considered precious species.

Bluefin tuna is the finest ingredient for making sashimi and sushi, and is considered the highest quality food.

Bluefin tuna have been auctioned for tens of millions of dollars.

The large yellow croaker was a precious fish in Lin Xu's previous life's country, and it was extremely delicious, having been auctioned for millions of dollars.

Although the ecosystem of the main world is not exactly the same as that of the previous world, and the ecosystem of the island world is even more peculiar, the main world is still similar to the previous world for those non-extraordinary fish.

Even though bluefin tuna and large yellow croaker are much more abundant in the world, they are still considered relatively expensive and high-end ingredients.

Specifically, a top-quality bluefin tuna should easily fetch 100,000 federal dollars.

The large yellow croaker costs 10,000 Federal Credits, equivalent to one bottle of life potion, or the salary of an average person working hard for a year.

When Lin Xu saw these two types of fish appear, he knew that if he kept them in the ocean block, he could obtain another high-level item and source of wealth.

Moreover, if he continues to cultivate these two types of fish using the spring water of life, he might be able to produce even higher-grade fish products.

Whether he eats these two kinds of fish or auctions them off, it will be a very good use of them.

After stacking the ocean blocks, fertile soil blocks, and rock blocks, Lin Xu still has quite a few blocks left.

There are remaining forest blocks and some mountain blocks.

Lin Xu stacked these blocks roughly to 30 layers, enough to generate a base on its own, covering an area of ​​approximately 200 square meters.

As for how to use these blocks, Lin Xu doesn't have many resource seeds right now, so he's not able to develop any methods for the time being.

But these blocks will always come in handy once more resources are acquired.

In fact, Lin Xu was also very interested in the fertile soil blocks under the peach tree.

He was curious about what changes would occur when the base and blocks were stacked to more than 100 layers. Would it allow him to reach a higher level as an island lord and undergo another qualitative change in his body and soul?

However, crafting Fertile Soil requires Soil, and Lin Xu has currently used up all his Soil, so he cannot continue to stack and upgrade Fertile Soil for the time being.

Therefore, Lin Xu put aside this idea for the time being and went to deal with other matters first.

The blocks have now been dealt with, and during this process, Lin Xu and Xiao Yu also worked together to deal with the machines and buildings left behind by the island owner...
