Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 471 The Retirement Life of a Down-on-His-Luck Tycoon 8

the first time,

An incredibly awkward scene unfolded.

Valle not only acknowledged that he was the owner of the island of Nemurishi, but also agreed with the latter part of the statement: the island had not been developed because of a lack of funds.

because,

He had only been in charge for a short time when he lost the battle between the gray and white forces, and was then cruelly sent to his own island.

Furthermore, it hasn't been developed.

There were some traces of human exploration on the island, but it was cleaned up very thoroughly. Based on their modus operandi, it's likely that the faction to which the male and female protagonists belonged sent people to the island before exiling Vale to confirm that the environment of Nie Wulishi Island was like a natural prison.

There were no islands nearby that could be easily escaped to, and the nearest one was heavily guarded.

The island is desolate.

In this way, they also took all the docks where the ships had docked, along with any metal that might have been found, away from the island.

That's really thorough.

In addition to Xia Youmi's questions, Valer added some details.

This island originally belonged to a minor gang leader who lived a relatively comfortable life under the protection of the Gray Realm. The island owner was wealthy and didn't have any particular hobbies; he just enjoyed treasure hunting and grand adventures.

Later, after exploring a few mysterious sites as instructed in the book, I gave up.

It is said that they knew there was no treasure at all.

As he got older, he began to focus on running businesses, mainly transforming his imagined adventure islands into destinations for people to experience. Surprisingly, this seemingly random venture actually became a success, with a steady stream of funds flowing into him. The small-time boss then embarked on his own island-buying spree.

They buy more and more, specifically choosing products that haven't been developed yet.

They also had a large number of children who inherited the island.

Having experienced many troubles, his courage grew, and he began planning an adventure on a completely deserted island.

But after losing a few lives, he became honest.

The island was stuck in my hands, and I couldn't monetize it for years.

The families on those small islands who were still making money were unwilling to give up their assets to pay off his debts. In the end, only some influential people with whom he had some connections helped him out, dividing up the inventory at a discounted market price.

Valle just randomly picked one of the houses without really choosing the location or anything; it was Brie who signed it.

Without asking why, Bully remarked, "The beginning sounds a lot like MI, haha, it even feels kind of familiar!"

Waler assumed that he thought the name sounded nice, but after meeting Xia Youmi, he realized that Waler must have been referring to his sister's name, Mi.

At this point in the conversation, Xia Youmi fell silent.

She stared blankly at the sea. "Brother, you said you'd take me to an island for a vacation after I graduate from university."

The deep darkness reflected the twinkling stars.

That little bit of skin seemed to beckon people away.

"Brother, you must be talking about the island of Nemorihi, right?"

"Is he thinking of developing it himself?"

"Adventure? My brother said he didn't like that place. Even though it was home, the feeling of being surrounded was too suffocating. He preferred fresh air and cool breezes."

"So, it must be because my brother wanted to develop the island that you bought it, right?"

Things are easily connected. When it comes to the college graduation vacation, it was only during the high school exam preparation period that her brother revealed a little bit in advance to help her relax.

Not long after, the island, though under Vale's name, became desolate.

The reason he was chosen to be exiled here, besides its remote location and lack of development, is probably more economical because he doesn't have to rent or buy ownership again.

After all, a new city needs to be built, and everything is in need of rebuilding.

Not a single penny of the necessary funds and effort should be wasted.

After a while,

Xia Youmi and Waler began preparing for the evening's cleanup.

Before leaving, Xia Youmi still asked out of curiosity.

"Brother, has the ownership of Nie Wulixi changed hands yet?"

"No."

"Great!"

“A city’s law enforcement officer has no power to rescind it.”

"That's great!" Xia Youmi said cheerfully.

Valer stood quietly, a blank smile on his face. The sea breeze rustled his clothes, as if responding to Xia Youmi's feelings.

"Then the fruits of our hard work in building all belong to us!"

"Ah."

“Not a single blade of grass, not a single pot or basin belongs to them!” Xia Youmi twirled in the wind, her school uniform billowing in a familiar arc, highlighting her slightly thin figure, yet constantly surging with upward power.

"what ever......"

The rest of the words were spoken lightly, and Xia Youmi didn't hear them clearly.

In short, it wasn't a denial of her.

......

The path to a change in mindset became clear to Valer.

Xia Youmi's consideration of the infrastructure issues on the deserted island became legitimate. For the next month, their pace was fast and precise, while also not forgetting to improve the quality.

Of course, most of it was preparatory work, such as making hemp ropes, and Xia Youmi had to rub his biceps until they were bulging.

A sunshade was erected to house the equipment.

The room was filled with knives belonging to a master craftsman, different models, each corresponding to different objects that needed to be cut.

The food was also more varied, usually enough for three meals in one sitting. Although the taste would decline over time, it was enough to sustain them as they explored further afield. In addition to staple foods, there were plenty of snacks. Coconuts were regularly dropped for drinks, and dried wild bananas and taro were prepared using the best cooking methods. Smoked fish and sea salt made the dishes even more delicious.

They also found a crevice in the rocks where they could sneak some bird eggs, but not very often, and they wouldn't take them all, hoping that the seabirds would continue to bestow their blessings.

It could be said that the stored grain was enough for them to eat for two weeks without having to work.

In addition, with hemp rope and coconut shells, you don't even need to go to sea to catch fish. You can directly set up traps in a feng shui spot and pick up some small fish and crabs early in the morning, thus entering a stage where you are "well-fed and clothed".

Xia Youmi's palm pads were constantly being used up because they needed to do so many things with their hands.

Meanwhile, straw sandals were also woven. The most laborious part was not crocheting the hemp rope, but constantly measuring their feet.

Without any aids or tools, Xia Youmi had to rely on her feel when working with the banknotes, and she would often compare her work with experienced workers to avoid rework and wasting materials, ensuring that every edge was perfectly aligned.

The pro walked with incredible speed after putting them on, and there was absolutely no sign of anything wrong with them.

Xia Youmi gained confidence and crocheted a pair for herself, but no matter how she wore them, they were uncomfortable and even bled.

She wasn't one to force herself into shoes, so she would occasionally wear a pair of straw sandals made of hemp rope over her shoes for protection. Although it made her walk a bit clumsy, at least it greatly reduced the rate at which her canvas shoes would be damaged.

I'm also trying to make skirts and vests from leaves, but they need to be treated with coconut oil, which is too much trouble.

The extracted oil is still too precious, and even if the straw clothes are properly maintained, they won't last more than a week.

In addition, there are other options for clothing materials.

Delicate ingredients like coconut oil can only be eaten obediently.

period,

It rained a few times.

The benefits of occasionally exploring along both sides of the coastline became apparent. They discovered a depression that could serve as a natural rainwater reservoir. It hadn't been seen before because a 30-centimeter-high dam broke during rain, causing water to leak out.

By the time the weather cleared up and they discovered it, the water had long since dried up and been sun-dried.

So that very night, they used whatever materials they had on hand to block up the edges and even raised it a whole circle higher. They estimated that the stored water would last for a week.

"yeah!"

After skillfully twisting a circle of hemp rope, Xia Youmi stretched.

She was responsible for one part of the operation, while the final handling of moving and bundling was done by the senior staff.

Although it's mid-summer, the temperature is already quite stable, with cool mornings, warm afternoons, and cool evenings.

Now, they no longer sleep in the open. The first shelter they built could accommodate two people, but Waler built another one later, and they each had their own little resting place.

Summer rice is also very free.

"Big brother! Need any help?"

"Come here." Valer nodded in approval and summoned Xia Youmi to his personal "arsenal" and workplace.

"Wow!"

Xia Youmi is always shocked every time she comes here.

There are always new ideas, and the masters aren't the type to reinvent the wheel; they don't just rely on memory. Every time they use an older "product" to cut out a corresponding object, they observe the subsequent target object, compare its size, and try it out themselves.

By comparing the old with the new, we can observe the areas that need improvement.

What he's making now is a hunting bow.

We prepared for more than twenty days without being in a hurry at all.

The reason for calling Xia Youmi over was to test the draw weight of the new bow.

From Waller's perspective,

Xia Youmi must participate in all hunting trips or walking into the jungle.

Even if she doesn't know how, I'll force her to learn it.

As soon as summer arrives, it's time to prepare for winter, and animal hide products are key to keeping warm.

"Open it!"

"Yes!"

"Uh!" Xia Youmi's voice quickly changed, "Big brother, can I wear these?"

"Ha! No way!"
