The next morning, Jiang Ye was awakened by wolf howls.
He sat up in bed and looked out the window.
Sixty-six wolves sat on the sand, howling at the sky in unison. Big Wind Novel.
Jiang Ye frowned, pushed open the window, and shouted, "What are you howling about so early in the morning? Practicing your scales?"
The wolves instantly fell silent, ears drooping as they looked at Jiang Ye with a wronged expression. Although they couldn't understand human speech, they could sense Jiang Ye's displeasure.
Jiang Ye lost his desire to sleep. He sighed, got up, and put on his clothes before heading downstairs.
He opened the base panel and clicked on [Livestock Assistant].
He selected [Common Hen], increased the quantity to sixty-six, and purchased them!
One wolf per chicken, that should be enough to eat.
The trading bay flashed with light, and bundles of hens emerged, their clucking filling Jiang Ye's ears.
Jiang Ye pushed open the window and grabbed the hens, tossing them outside.
The wild wolves all leaped up, scrambling to get them, fighting over the food.
After throwing all the chickens, Jiang Ye washed his hands and face, then went to the warehouse to get some vegetables. He cut them into small pieces, put them in the pot, added a handful of salt, and boiled them into vegetable soup.
Half an hour later, breakfast was finished.
He left the base and headed for the dock.
The wild wolves were full and lay sprawled on the ground, dozing lazily.
As soon as they saw Jiang Ye emerge, they all jumped up again, wagging their tails and following him.
Jiang Ye boarded the boat and turned back to scold the wolves who wanted to follow, "Go back!"
The wild wolves whined mournfully, unhappy, and stopped at the shore. They stared longingly at Jiang Ye as he boarded the boat.
The fishing boat set sail with a roar.
The wild wolves on the shore became anxious and began to howl desperately.
Jiang Ye stood in the captain's cabin, listening to the wolves' chorus, a hint of worry in his heart.
Would these pups all run off while he was out at sea?
The sea breeze was strong that day, and he could hear the whistling wind.
The sea surface was also rough, with waves as high as a meter, and whitecaps as far as the eye could see.
Jiang Ye felt the boat lurch, but fortunately, the fishing boat was large, so the rocking wasn't severe.
As they sailed forward, the white bird guano island finally appeared in the distance.
Even from afar, many dark shapes could be seen on the small white island.
The fishing boat docked, and upon closer inspection, they were all young seals!
There wasn't a single large one, all the same size as the one he had caught yesterday. Jiang Ye scanned the island and counted ten in total!
Seeing the large fishing boat dock, the young seals became a little frightened and began to crawl clumsily, trying to get into the sea and escape.
Did he really think they would let him get away with a million yuan?
Jiang Ye quickly grabbed his shovel, disembarked, and ran onto the island.
*Clang!* He knocked one out with a shovel.
*Clang, clang, clang!* He knocked out three more.
The rest had already run far away, but Jiang Ye sprinted after them, smacking them on the head with his shovel.
Not a single one escaped. They all lay stunned on the ground.
Jiang Ye carried the seals by their feet, one by one, back to the fishing boat and put them into the trading bay for sale.
The price for the ten seals was uniform, ten thousand yuan each, the same as yesterday's market.
One million yuan deposited!
His personal assets rose to 1,901,080 yuan.
He was less than thirty thousand yuan away from the 2.2 million needed to purchase the clothing printer.
Jiang Ye carried a sack off the boat and went onto the bird guano island.
Clenching his shovel, he began to dig at his feet, shoveling bird guano stones into the sack.
After digging for a short while, he noticed a change.
After digging up the surface white guano stones, the guano stones underneath had changed color, becoming a yellow like peanut shells.
They were also harder, stickier, and heavier.
The quality of the guano stones had changed, and their price would inevitably fluctuate.
Jiang Ye opened an empty sack, specifically digging up the darker yellow guano stones and dumping them into the sack.
Once the sack was full, he returned to the fishing boat and poured the contents into the trading bay.
Back in the captain's cabin, he checked the scan results:
[Item: Aged Bird Guano Stone]
[Item Description: These droppings fell long before you were born. Like fine wine, bird droppings become more fragrant with age.]
[Appraised Value: 137,000 yuan]
He sold them decisively, and his personal assets increased to 2,038,080 yuan.
Jiang Ye nodded repeatedly. "Good droppings! They are indeed more expensive than the surface white guano stones!"
He had a hunch that as the bird guano island accumulated over the years, the guano stones deeper down would be older and even more valuable. He wondered how deep the island was; it was highly likely that the fossilized bird guano stones at the bottom of the island would fetch an astonishing price.
Carrying his shovel, he went onto the island again and began to dig rapidly.
Previously, when mining, he had to sort through the ore, picking out the valuable minerals from ordinary rocks.
But this bird guano island was almost like a pile of pre-sorted ore; he could just mindlessly fill the sacks.
Jiang Ye was full of energy and worked all morning.
Twenty sacks of bird guano stones were neatly stacked on the island.
Carrying two sacks, one in each hand, he boarded the boat. He made ten round trips, bringing all the bird guano stones onto the boat and selling them.
A total of 2.06 million yuan was sold!
His personal assets rose to 4,098,080 yuan.
Satisfied, Jiang Ye entered the captain's cabin and set sail for home.
Along the way, he encountered a small school of fish and caught them, earning forty thousand yuan.
Returning to the dock, Jiang Ye was relieved to see that the wolf pack had not left and were playing in the water by the sea.
As soon as they saw the fishing boat return, the playing wild wolves all ran over to welcome Jiang Ye.
Their tails wagged more enthusiastically than ever.
They were like a pack of domestic dogs.
Jiang Ye hugged a few of the wild wolves affectionately before returning to the base vehicle and closing the door.
He opened the [Galactic Mall] and selected the [Clothing Printer].
He purchased it!
The 2.2 million yuan was instantly spent, and his account balance was almost halved, dropping to 1,938,080 yuan.
The trading bay flashed with light, and boxes of parts appeared.
Jiang Ye had originally thought that the so-called clothing printer would be about the size of a sewing machine.
But upon seeing the parts boxes, he realized he was greatly mistaken.
It was at least as large as a washing machine, definitely not a small, delicate item.
The clothing printer parts came in a total of 12 boxes, each labeled with a number.
Along with the parts boxes came an installation manual, totaling 26 pages. When he opened it, the text was as small as grains of rice.
Jiang Ye sat down and patiently read the entire manual.
It was more complicated than he had imagined, with over two hundred small and large parts, many of which were shapes Jiang Ye had never seen before.
Since he had already bought it, he couldn't complain about the trouble. He began to assemble it!
Jiang Ye lay on the floor of the base vehicle, referring to the manual, unpacking and assembling the parts step by step.
Two hours later, with a crisp click, the final casing was finally assembled.
Installation complete!
The entire clothing printer looked like a double-door refrigerator, with a gray-blue exterior and a metallic sheen, clearly not a cheap item.
It was powered by the base vehicle.
On the refrigerator-door-like printer casing was a touch screen panel as large as a computer monitor.
In the lower left corner of the panel was a round power button.
Jiang Ye took a deep breath and pressed and held the power button.
Eight seconds later, the black screen lit up!
An unfamiliar trademark flashed across the screen, followed by a prompt:
