Chapter 540: Chapter 354: Small Island_2

Feng Yi, while looking into these matters, also took the opportunity to check on the research and development related to the Ancestral Factory.

Although Geng would occasionally chat with him about the affairs of the Ancestral Factory, observing it from another angle was also quite interesting.

The information related to the sensational "Ancestral Y" has multiplied, especially a lot!

Looking at the numbers, there was an explosive growth over the past year.

Feng Yi came across a research paper published by a laboratory at the Ancestral Factory that had particularly high attention. The view count and citation numbers were dizzying.

There was also the review article Feng Yi was currently looking at, which was newly published, and the view data had skyrocketed.

These journal articles covered various types of pharmaceutical research and issues with patents.

Feng Yi didn’t understand the professional details, but he got the gist—

It was indeed quite profitable!

The Ancestral Factory had many projects with long research cycles, currently more focused on investment rather than making big profits.

However, some of the recent outcomes had already brought benefits to Feng Yi and the Ancestral Factory. The net profit for the factory this year was expected to be 4 to 5 times that of last year.

This was still just the beginning of an upward trend.

As Geng put it, "We’re currently at the take-off stage on the cusp of the whirlwind."

Looking at the information from all around the world displayed on the computer screen, Feng Yi once again deeply felt how his venom was related to so many people’s livelihoods!

If he were to suddenly cut off the supply, all the employees of the Ancestral Factory would be crying in front of him!

Huh?

Feng Yi remembered.

He had forgotten to collect the venom when he returned!

After returning from the digital library to his home, Feng Yi immediately went to the underground laboratory to extract venom.

The gigantic machine that was the Ancestral Factory was able to efficiently maximize the value of the venom. Overall, Feng Yi was quite satisfied with it.

Thanks to his great-grandmother!

When handing the venom over to Wu, Feng Yi also took out an asteroid fragment he had prepared for the Ancestral Factory.

"If any of the laboratories over there are interested, they could research this," he said.

Feng Yi also sent a message to Geng, saying if no one was going to research it, to keep the sample safe and not to lose it.

After all, the Ancestral Factory specialized in venom research, and asteroids were not their field of expertise.

However, Feng Yi mentioned to Geng that if anyone in the laboratories was interested in this area and could make a discovery, he was willing to splash the cash and open a separate lab for them!

The order for a personal jet had been placed, but it would be at least a year before Feng Yi could get his hands on it.

As for the private island, two days later Feng Yi received a document from his butler.

"Here are three islands that meet your criteria, the Island Masters are looking to sell for various reasons."

The document listed three islands that met Feng Yi’s requirements, along with the reasons why the Island Masters wanted to sell.

Feng Yi, looking at the information in his hands, raised an eyebrow.

These were details Yi could definitely find out, but not as quickly as the butler.

The three islands indeed met his requirements.

His requirements were simple.

First, the island had to be remote.

Being remote was good, it was less likely to be disturbed, and there were fewer concerns. It didn’t matter if there was no internet since he wasn’t going to live there all the time.

Second, it had to be an individual island rather than one in an archipelago.

It couldn’t be too close to the mainland; he wasn’t buying the island for bustle and definitely didn’t plan to turn it into a resort, so there was no need for people to warm up the place. Feng Yi preferred it to be rarely visited, where nobody would disturb him.

Third, it would be best if there was an airplane runway. When needed, he could simply fly there directly and save time.

If there really wasn’t one, then it had to be possible to build a runway on the island. Otherwise, would he have to sail there from afar? He’d even have to buy a boat.

And since boats were too slow, swimming there would be quicker.

But... swimming there came with the risk of exposure.

It’s better to fly.

As for the scenery on the island, the environment, whether there were entertainment facilities or not, and so on, to Feng Yi, those were all secondary issues.

Feng Yi looked at the information on the three islands he had acquired.

All three islands were roughly the same size, not very large, and in terms of marketability, they indeed were not as luxurious as some private islands, nor particularly big, but they met Feng Yi’s requirements.

More luxurious facilities and larger islands would have to wait until he had saved up enough money to buy them. For now, he only needed them to be usable.

"They’re all okay," Feng Yi said, "But comparing them, I think the third one is quite good."

The butler didn’t need to look at the document to match the information.

In the butler’s eyes, these three islands were all too "simple," "small." However, since Feng Yi was the one purchasing this time, the old gentleman naturally respected Feng Yi’s choice.

The third island’s scenery couldn’t compare with the first two. It had fruit trees, but they weren’t as vigorous as those on the first two islands.

You could tell that the Island Master had invested a substantial amount of money in transforming the little island, but judging from the latest photos, the results were mediocre. Perhaps some of the original facilities had been demolished for some reason, making certain areas appear oddly bare.

However, the third island’s advantage was its larger beach.

The butler immediately spotted the highlight.

Oh, so Feng Yi likes this one!

The butler’s expression turned a tad more serious.

Now that I look at this third little island again, it does seem a bit more pleasing than the first two!

The shape of this third little island tended toward an inverted isosceles triangle.

The base of this triangle was indented inward, and at a second glance, didn’t it somewhat resemble the letter "Y"?

Filters started to stack one after another.

The more I looked, the more I liked it.

The butler expressed satisfaction, "Indeed, this one is pretty good!"

Feng Yi didn’t know what the butler was thinking, but he indeed felt that this one was quite nice.

They then looked at the reason for the Island Master’s transfer.

The information listed wasn’t all written by the Island Master himself; some of it was obtained by the butler’s inquiries.

If it had been a year earlier, this Island Master definitely wouldn’t have the thought of transferring ownership.

But this year, minor climate fluctuations had put the Island Master in a less delightful mood.

The region where the small island was located had experienced several storms, causing the Island Master to cancel his vacation plans there more than twice.

The marine life around the small island had also diminished, with fishes hardly catchable.

This year, there was also an underwater volcano eruption that affected the small island. Some of the quaint transformations that had been made were mostly destroyed by that tsunami.

When the tsunami subsided, the Island Master flew over to take a look and, in a fit of pique, decided to sell it off and buy another safer, more convenient small island with the money.

Feng Yi, however, didn’t have such concerns.

He said to Yi beside him, "Then contact this Island Master first, and we’ll find time to go take a look."

Before Yi could speak, the butler standing on the other side promptly responded, "Hmm!"

Feng Yi: ?

You’re this eager?

Originally, Feng Yi considered that the butler was getting on in years, and such a long trip might be too strenuous, so there was no need for the butler to accompany him.

But seeing the butler’s attitude, did he want to go along?

Well then, let’s go together. He could help watch over things.

Yi went to contact the Island Master to schedule a time to see the island.

Feng Yi discussed with the butler what changes to make if they purchased the small island.

Since he would be using it himself, the requirements in all aspects would definitely be different from others; it must be transformed.

The decorations and various structures on the island had to be dismantled and rebuilt.

The Island Master indeed had the intention to sell, so Yi quickly arranged a time with the other party.

Feng Yi calculated the time and, if progress went smoothly, the small island would soon be his.

Then, he could use it for his next molting.

A coastal resort area.

A luxurious private yacht was anchored on the sea surface.

The host invited a few friends out to sea today, and they were currently cooking freshly caught fish.

The host had just stepped out to take a phone call.

Shortly after, the person who took the call came back.

His old friends asked, "What’s up? Are you still dealing with business during your fun outing?"

The yacht owner wore a smile, looking in a very good mood. "It’s not business. Someone is willing to take over my little island!"

"The one where its location is particularly remote and nearly got submerged completely?"

"That’s right!"

"Who has such a huge heart to take over a secluded little island during climate fluctuations? What are they thinking?"

The yacht owner disagreed, "You can’t look at it with the eyes of ordinary people. You should know, whenever there are climate fluctuations, there’s always some bold beast that goes touching things others are afraid to touch!"
