After careful research, Gu Xi discovered that everything from ordinary wooden planks to rare abyssal crystals could be used for expansion, but the expansion effects varied drastically.
For example, a wooden plank can expand the area by 0.1 square meters, an iron block can expand it by 0.2 square meters, and a piece of Abyss Crystal is even more powerful, capable of expanding it by 500 square meters.
As long as each expansion area is guaranteed to be over 1000 square meters, there are no restrictions on the type of materials used.
As a result, the demand for common materials is enormous, while rare materials offer better value for money.
Just then, Ariel, who was passing by, suddenly pointed to a line of small text on the system interface and softly uttered a questioning sound.
"Hmm? Ten times?" Gu Xi looked in the direction she pointed.
"What, ten times?" Ais walked in, who was studying the materials list.
Gu Xi sighed and explained, "The Heart of the Island can be expanded a maximum of ten times, and there is only one expansion opportunity per year. This means we must carefully plan each expansion to ensure maximum effectiveness."
"So, you're planning to use the Heart of the Island now?" Ais asked thoughtfully.
“Yes, although a lot of materials are still needed, once the island is established, I will have actual control over it. I can plan the island's terrain and provide a safe habitat for the upcoming Mercury survivors,” Gu Xi said while checking the system information.
Flamescale excitedly spun around in the water: "Splash! Are we going on another adventure?"
“That’s right,” Gu Xi put away his island heart and shrugged. “It seems we’ll have to go find Tal’s legacy again. This time, we’ll not only be looking for building materials, but also gathering more clues about this world.”
After a moment of silence, Ais replied, "You're probably planning to release some of the history at the General Assembly, right? Perfect, let's look for other clues."
There is still some time before the next batch of Mercury survivors are deployed to the new world, but preparations must begin immediately to ensure that each expansion is of the highest quality.
Looking at the fish, Gu Xi felt a surge of confidence. Although they weren't human, she believed that with their help, they could definitely build an ideal island large enough to accommodate everyone.
"Alright," Gu Xi clapped his hands, "Now that we have free labor, it's time to tell those freeloaders that you can't get by without putting in any work!"
"Pfft..." Ai Si walked to Gu Xi's side, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, "Is that cow grass really reliable?"
Gu Xi stopped organizing the documents, looked up, and looked intently into Ai Si's eyes.
“I know what you’re worried about. Some of Niu Niu Cao’s behaviors are indeed suspicious. But if you look at it from another angle, the fact that it’s so persistent in inquiring about the Ice Shield Fish means that it must know something.”
Ais lowered her eyes, clearly still hesitant.
"Take it with you, you might get some unexpected benefits."
"We have so few leads right now, even the slightest glimmer of hope is worth trying."
"Even though it's SSS-rank, you're also SSS-rank. What tricks are you afraid it'll pull?"
“Alright.” Ais paused for a moment, then slowly nodded. “But we should still be careful.”
“Of course,” Gu Xi smiled slightly, “you don’t need to worry about that. Now, let’s focus on collecting building materials.”
Ais's gaze remained thoughtful. Although he still had some doubts about the sea beast that kept asking him about the Ice Shield Fish, he would respect and cooperate with Gu Xi's decision.
After all, Gu Xi's judgment has never been wrong so far.
"Flame Scale, go call Cow Grass." (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
