Chapter 20 020. Wall-E’s Life Experience

"Fourteen...fifteen..."

Jialan stroked the knife marks on the wooden stake with his hand and counted the days in his mouth. Counting the three days during the camping period, it had been eighteen days since he came to Sunless Island.

Less than two weeks have passed since the appointment with Captain Philip.

"Perhaps we should send someone to the port to check and leave a mark. Otherwise, if the cargo ship arrives early, will it miss the connection?"

Thinking of this, Jialan couldn't help but feel worried.

"McGonagall! Magona!"

"Here you are, sir, what do you want from me?" Mag trotted all the way to Jialan and knelt down on one knee.

"Starting from tomorrow, send people to the port to inspect it every day and leave a mark to prevent missing trading opportunities."

"Please rest assured, sir! My subordinates will handle this matter personally." Mag knows the importance of trade, because Sunless Island is no longer on the regular trade line. If this transaction is missed, the cargo ship will probably not detour next time.

Passed by Sunless Island.

In addition, if Sunless Island cannot provide goods of sufficient value and purchasing power, the Provence will not come a second time.

This is reality, and interests are the link that maintains mutual exchanges among the islands.

"You go ahead and do your work first. I have to think about what I can sell."

In a blink of an eye, Mai Duo brought Jialan to the warehouse.

She pointed to one of the piles of leather and said: "These are the goods that I have specially cleaned up to sell for money, five gray wolf skins, two wild boar skins, as well as excess field equipment, tents, knives, cooking utensils, etc."

After reading it, Jialan couldn't help but sigh.

Animal leather is a good thing, but the quantity is too small and the quality is inferior;

The rest of the outdoor equipment is quite good, with exquisite workmanship and high quality, and may be sold at a good price. However, these items are obtained from the system reward material package and are not produced by Sunless Island at all. Once sold, they will be gone.

There are several items in his inventory similar to this, such as black pearls, iron ore, and gentleman's hats.

In other words, random system rewards cannot be used as an economic source for operating the territory, otherwise Aurora Village will never develop.

When it comes to output, the natural fishing ground in his hands is quite qualified. It reproduces naturally and has an endless supply. The only flaw is that the seafood is too ordinary. The fish, shrimp, crabs and shells that are available around an island are not worth traveling all the way for cargo ships to purchase.

Selling.

"Is it possible to hunt on a large scale?"

There is currently a shortage of combatants in Aurora Village, and hunting beasts and monsters is very risky. Jialan does not want to take this path unless it is a last resort.

Mai Duo on the side seemed to see Jialan's worry, and couldn't help but remind him: "Sir, have you forgotten Pharmacist Wali? He used to specialize in treating people. Sunless Island has dense forests and many medicinal herbs.

It shouldn’t be difficult to get some good potions.”

"Potion...yes!"

Jialan clapped her hands, almost forgetting that her right-hand man, Wali Tonggai, was a pharmacist and was proficient in refining various potions. He immediately asked Mai Duo to call Wali.

In the stone house, Wali hurried over and knelt down in front of Jialan's toes.

"Wali Bronze Gai has met the Lord."

"Hurry up Wall-E, you are my important arm, you don't need to perform such solemn etiquette, just do the same as Mag."

"Yes, I will pay attention to it in the future." Walli stood up and patted the dirt on his body.

At this moment, Mai Duo had already said goodbye and left, leaving only Jialan and Wali in the room.

Looking at the man in front of her who was slightly older than herself, Jialan couldn't help but recall the desolate look when she first saw him.

At that time, Wali's clothes were in rags, his eyes were sunken, and he was as thin as a beggar. If he hadn't taken him in, maybe a cold night would have killed him.

"Ahem~ Walli, you have been following me for half a month. How do you feel?"

"Feelings? Please forgive me, Sir, I can't understand." Walli's face was a little frightened.

"Don't be nervous, just tell me what you think of me or Aurora Village, and talk about how to go in the future. You know, I don't want to face you sweaty and smelly guys all day long."

Jialan joked half-jokingly.

"Uh...I understand." Walli wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thinking about how to answer.

From the moment he occupied the deserted village, he could see that Jialan was an ambitious lord who was not willing to stay in a remote place and play house games, so his answer must meet the other party's psychological expectations.

After pondering for a moment, Walli said:

"Sir, after following you, I have never felt so at ease as I do today. I don't have to worry about wild beasts, let alone being hungry. This is all brought by you."

"Yeah." Jialan nodded.

"According to what my subordinates see, Wuguang Island is rich in resources. The only thing lacking is the manpower needed to develop the resources. As long as there are people, forests, rivers, beaches, etc., these places can tap great potential."

Jialan frowned and interrupted.

"Of course I know the importance of manpower, but the key question is where to get them? No lord is willing to move his people to someone else's territory."

"Slaves." Walli looked directly at Jialan and repeated, "You can buy a large number of slaves to come back to develop, plant, fish, and hunt the island! You have an island for them to work! There is endless work to do every day.

To survive, you only need to give them enough food to satisfy their hunger!”

"Yeah."

Jialan was a little moved. After all, the law here allowed slavery to exist, and natural human trafficking was also allowed.

“…But where can I buy a slave?”

"Just leave the money to the merchants. As long as you give enough gold shells, they will personally send the slaves to your island." Walli said easily.

Speaking of this, Jialan had some doubts.

"Aren't you a pharmacist? How come you are so familiar with the slave trade?"

"..." Walli looked embarrassed, and then explained: "My mentor once bought slaves to verify his pharmacy results."

"I see."

"And I am one of the slaves he bought."

"Uh..." Now it was Jialan's turn to feel embarrassed, "I'm sorry, that must have been a painful experience."

"It doesn't matter." Walli raised the corner of his mouth, showing a sunny smile, "Because I was highly resistant to medicine, he kept me as an apprentice, testing medicine and taking care of daily life. Later, I found an opportunity to strangle him with my own hands.

He died and inherited everything from him.

So even though it has been more than ten years, I still call him my mentor."

"I didn't expect you to have such a tortuous experience. The proposal about slaves is very good. I will consider it. However, purchasing slaves requires a lot of funds. The current output alone may not be enough. I hope you can..."

Jialan stopped talking and did not continue.

"Understood, since I have become your follower, assisting you is the righteousness of my existence. I will go back and prepare now. I may need help picking herbs by then."

"certainly."

Jia Lan nodded, then stretched out her hand to make a farewell gesture, ending the conversation.
