Chapter 542: Chapter 356 Territory_1

Facing the sea, with great enthusiasm, he broadcast a message.

But not even a shadow of a fish was seen.

Feng Yi swam several laps around the island, confirming that all the marine animals nearby had disappeared without a trace.

That shouldn’t be right, should it?

Did I send the message incorrectly again?

Did it cause some sort of misunderstanding?

Believing he had mastered the skill, reality still dealt Feng Yi an unrelenting blow.

Was the outcome the result of a problem with the message I edited?

Or had the marine life been brainwashed by pollutants from the island and become confused?

Was it my fault, or was it external factors? To find out, Feng Yi decided to swim further away.

Once he was far from the island, Feng Yi concealed his presence, and when he encountered lively schools of fish, with no pollutants around to interfere, he broadcast another message:

[Don’t be afraid! I am your friendly neighbor!]

The next moment, the fish that had been swimming in groups, as if suddenly scattered by a band of hunters, fled in panic.

Soon, not a single fish was visible around Feng Yi, except for some slow-moving creatures; the rest were nowhere to be seen.

Feng Yi: "..."

Alright then, the pollutant turned out to be myself!

Not wishing to disturb those poor things any longer, Feng Yi reined in his presence and headed back toward the island.

All the way until he set foot on the island and walked ashore, Feng Yi was still pondering the matter.

There must have been some issues with the phrasing of the message, turning a friendly text into junk mail, or perhaps even the threatening kind.

That’s a tough one!

Or maybe the skills inscribed in his DNA weren’t fully comprehensive?

Like in those martial arts tales, aren’t there always upper and lower parts of a secret manual?

If the content isn’t complete, couldn’t that lead to deviation and madness?

By analogy, if he hadn’t learned everything, maybe the messages he was sending out were all modified versions?

Thinking it over, it was indeed possible.

It’s like he had only learned the upper part, so the use of his skill was prone to error; maybe after the next molting, he’d inherit more memories from his DNA and acquire the lower part?

Right, I’ll know after the next molting, and it’s not far off anyway.

This isn’t my fault, the DNA didn’t give me everything!

He wondered if the excitement from being in such a natural environment made the pre-molting symptoms more pronounced.

After swimming around like that, Feng Yi felt a bit lazy again.

This time was different from before; he wasn’t staying in one place waiting for the molt but needed to actively head to the floating rock island.

It was better to go there in advance, or else if I wait until the day I’m about to molt, I’ll be even less inclined to move, let alone swim a long distance.

To prepare adequately for this, he had to start charging up!

Once Feng Yi informed the butler, the butler immediately got things organized.

Originally, the butler had planned to return for a trip, but now he changed his mind.

He sent Bing back with the plane to prepare supplies, to be delivered the next day.

During the first trip to transport supplies, Wu was brought over.

That was Feng Yi’s idea as well.

Their island was quite far from the mainland, with no other islands nearby; if anyone got sick or injured, there would be no doctors to help.

In good weather, you could take a plane to seek medical aid, but if the weather prevented flights, you’d just have to endure.

Therefore, having a doctor nearby was a little more secure.

When Wu came, he brought medical supplies and also a preservation box to store venom.

This time the harvest of venom wasn’t for supplying the Ancestral Factory, but to study the changes in the composition of Feng Yi’s venom before and after molting.

It was essentially a family doctor performing a health check on the boss.

The amount of venom taken each time was very little.

This period was for Feng Yi’s energy accumulation, and if too much venom was extracted, energy would be consumed. That would be putting the cart before the horse.

On the island, Feng Yi didn’t stay indoors all the time. As the new Island Master, he needed to familiarize himself with every part of his domain.

In such an unconstrained environment, he felt more relaxed and energetic in exploring, even the pre-molting syndrome couldn’t restrain him.

Previously, in order to sell this place as soon as possible, the original Island Master had people clean up the place, so Feng Yi didn’t need to do a thorough cleanup in the short term.

A simple tidy-up of the indoors and a small portion of the areas each day was enough; the workload wasn’t heavy.

Feng Yi didn’t burden the butler with this job; he, along with Jia, Yi, and the recently arrived Ding, shared these chores.

By cleaning the place, they also became familiar with every inch of it, keeping track in their minds.

The houses on the island weren’t all clustered in one area; they were built at higher and lower elevations.

Usually, with good weather, different houses offered different views and pleasures based on their location.

But these weren’t the most important things.

"There are emergency shelters built here," Jia said.

They had already obtained the layout of the facility from the former Island Master.

The former Island Master might not have been clear about other aspects, but the places for taking refuge were essential for the island’s inhabitants to know. It was a matter of their precious lives!

The two main residential buildings on the island each had emergency shelters.

However, the shelter at the higher elevation was larger.

"There are signs of expansion; it seems the area was enlarged later on. Emergency food and medicine are stored there, and it seems they’re replaced regularly to ensure efficacy. I’ve sampled them, and these are all from early this year, well-sealed too. I just checked, and there are no quality issues."
