Chapter 549: Chapter 360: The Best Delivery Person_1

The trial period is three months; let Xin guard the island for three months to see if he can adapt to this job before deciding whether to offer him a permanent position.

Feng Yi’s visits to the island will certainly not be frequent. Aside from the times when construction personnel come for renovations, most of the time Xin will be the only one on the island.

Upon returning to the island, Feng Yi asked Doctor Wu to give Xin a health check, then called Jia over: "Take him to familiarize himself with the island’s facilities."

Having just purchased this island, Feng Yi had not left much of a mark on it.

The majority of the security systems were left behind by the previous Island Master, and the solar power generation system and monitoring equipment were still usable. New equipment could only be installed during renovation, so for now, they would make do with the old equipment.

The two main facilities Jia needed to show Xin were the communication station and the refuge.

Although internet access here is inconvenient, it is still possible to maintain contact with the outside world. In case of any emergencies, they can be reached in time.

As for the refuge, in the event of a powerful storm at sea, it might not be safe to stay inside the house, so they would have to take shelter in the refuge.

These were not alarmist warnings. As someone who frequently sailed the seas, Xin understood this well and listened attentively.

Xin was very cooperative this time, having confirmed Feng Yi’s identity and genuinely wanting to accept the job, his attitude was naturally different.

To embrace the beautiful life of guarding the island alone, he was now incredibly proactive, earnestly asking whenever there was something he did not understand.

This change, Jia felt it profoundly while showing him the island’s facilities.

"You’ve changed your attitude quickly. Is it the difference between having a contract and not?" Jia said.

"No. It’s the difference between having a human boss and not," Xin replied.

Jia stared at him for a long moment.

"How dare you! You’re actually saying the boss is not human!"

Jia cautiously looked around, and upon not seeing that figure, said to him:

"Here’s a piece of advice, never say that in front of the housekeeper!"

Meanwhile, Feng Yi was already packing his things.

His trip this time was to purchase the island and to molt; he had not taken on any tasks from the security bureau during this period, and on the expert task platform, he had posted a "vacation" tag.

So, unless there was a task that specifically required his intervention, no one would bother him.

Now, his vacation was coming to an end.

Before returning to his leisurely life prior, Feng Yi had picked up some seashells of various sizes as souvenirs.

The housekeeper used the sand from the island’s beach and the seashells Feng Yi collected, along with some stones, tree branches, and coconut shells from the island, to compose a picture over a meter wide. After adding a frame, it served as a rather attractive decoration.

However, since the island still awaited renovation, the picture wasn’t placed here but was instead brought back to Yang City. Once the renovations here were completed, it would be...

There was no ’would be’, as the housekeeper decided to keep it for his collection.

That’s just one of his collecting hobbies.

During his time away from Yang City, apart from not extracting toxins before molting to store energy, Feng Yi began to extract a certain amount of venom daily after returning to the island, having eaten and rested well.

Apart from supporting the ’little gold vault’, Feng Yi also worried that if he didn’t use the function of his poison glands, his body might consider it unnecessary and potentially let the glands atrophy during further development?

Of the venom collected during this time, the first batch extracted after returning from molting was specially marked by Doctor Wu. With limited equipment available here, it was initially preserved, later to be sent to the core lab of the Ancestral Factory, where the analysis would be more comprehensive and detailed.

Having arranged everything on the island, Feng Yi and the housekeeper took a plane back to Yang City. Xin stayed behind to guard the island.

After roaming the outside world for so long, reintegrating into human society still took some readjustment.

Back at home, Feng Yi opened the security bureau expert’s task platform, removed the vacation tag, and officially ended his leave.

Having not been online during his time away, he now chose which messages to respond to upon his return.

Adjusting his mindset, he shifted from vacation mode to work mode. Feng Yi also planned that if no one sought him out, he would take on one or two tasks from the platform proactively.

But it wasn’t the security bureau who sought him out first—it was his own people.

When Feng Yi received the call from Geng, he thought it was about the venom.

The venom collected during his time away had already been delivered by Doctor Wu.

However, Geng’s call was not about that. He used an encrypted phone, not the one Feng Yi usually used.

"Emergency event," Geng spoke in a serious tone.

"Go ahead."

Before taking the call, Feng Yi scanned his surroundings, always cautious when answering this phone.

Seeing Geng’s demeanor, the matter seemed extraordinary.

In that instant, Feng Yi thought of many emergency events related to his own secrets.

Geng got straight to the point: "The core lab has developed a new drug, its primary function is also detoxification, and it’s more potent in that regard, but it has some other functions as well. We don’t need to go into that right now. What I want to tell you is, the security bureau is asking for this drug."

Feng Yi relaxed inwardly, it wasn’t what he had in mind.

But hearing Geng’s words, Feng Yi frowned: "Is that drug still in the experimental stage?"

Geng: "Yes, the lab has just developed it, and they can only spare one tube."

Feng Yi: "Unless it’s urgent, the security bureau wouldn’t ask for a drug that’s still in the experimental stage."

When they had captured the sea snake, an expert on the team was bitten by a new species; the hospital antivenom was useless, other drugs had limited efficacy, leading to an urgent request to the Ancestral Factory for a broad-spectrum antisnake venom drug that had not yet hit the market.
