nMcgee gave all the extra pieces of gold to Romon.

nThen he went back to the manor and began to work.

nIt had to be said that the current life was really comfortable, and there was basically nothing busy in the manor.

nAnd since there was nothing new, it was still the same old thing, so it was not enough.

nThe only thing Mcgee was doing was preparing lunch.

nAnd the food for the big eater, the Giant Diving Crocodile.

nBecause the rest of the journey depended on him.

nHe had to feed this guy before he could work.

nThe Giant Diving Crocodile was lying next to Mcgee, drooling.

nHis eyes were fixed on the grill in front of him.

nThere were a few pieces of bear meat on the branches.

nActually, he was already craving meat.

nPreviously, when his companions took so many pieces of meat, he wanted to snatch them away.

nBut in the end, he held it in.

nUntil now, seeing Mcgee still roasting the meat, he finally could not hold it in.

n

"Don't worry. Anyway, these things are still for you to eat after the exam. So why are you in such a hurry?

"

nMcgee looked helplessly at the impatiently Diving Crocodile.

n

"Actually, I don't mind if it's raw.

"

nThe Diving Crocodile said indifferently.

nJust like a greedy person, when faced with a room full of money, his mind was empty.

nAll he could think about was the money in this room.

nFinally, in the midst of suffering, the three pieces of bear meat were cooked.

nMcgee sprinkled some of his homemade seasonings on it and threw it directly to the Giant Diving Crocodile.

nThen, they proceeded with the food preparation.

nSoon, noon arrived, and everyone returned to their homes.

nEven the Little Spirit Fox and the others were very punctual beside the bonfire.

nIt was obvious that they would arrive very punctually every time. After all, no one wanted to miss mealtime and go hungry.

nHowever, the Diving Crocodile patted his stomach and ran to the side to sleep peacefully.

nBecause after eating more than ten pieces of meat, he finally had a full meal.

nJust as Mcgee said, the cooked meat was more delicious than the uncooked meat.

nAnd not just a little bit.

nMore importantly, he tasted something sweet, salty, and even sour.

nThis also made the Diving Crocodile's eyes light up.

nThis was much better than the bloody pieces of meat he had eaten before.

nSo he decided to never eat raw food again.

nAfter lunch, he took a short break.

nEveryone went back to their posts.

nThe two pirates also brought back a basket full of fish.

nAt the same time, they smiled.

nThey never thought that one day they would go fishing leisurely.

nAnd was it not more comfortable than working?

nMore importantly, they would fish on the boat to enjoy themselves when they had nothing to do.

nBut because they were relatively poor at that time, they did not have enough bait.

nSo they could only pretend.

nNow Mcgee put more than 60 pieces of meat on their side.

nLet alone fishing. It was enough for them to live for dozens of days.

nThe prerequisite was to be as frugal as before.

nAt this time, Romon also sent a message.

nHe also said that the transaction had been completed, and all the ores had been counted.

n

"Congratulations on obtaining gold ore x21, iron ore x54, silver ore x42...

"

nThe sound of a system notification rang out. All sorts of ores were continuously piling up in the system space.

nNot to mention other ores. Even gold ores had a total of 21 pieces.

nIf he were to refine them, even if he did not make a profit, he would still make half of it.

nAdding in other ores would be enough!

nHe really did not expect the profits in this aspect to be so huge.

nMore importantly, it was because he had a Gold-swallowing Beast.

nThinking of this, Mcgee could not stop smiling.

nWithout any hesitation, he threw all the ores to the Gold-swallowing Beast.

nThe Gold-swallowing Beast shook its head, and its eyes lit up.

nIt swallowed the ores one by one, leisurely, not in a hurry at all.

nTo the Gold-swallowing Beast, this was food, but to other pet beasts, this was just a piece of broken stone. It was not worth anything at all.

nEven if they took it, it would be useless.

n

"After these 21 pieces of gold are refined, you can take five of them. This is your reward.

"

nAfter Mcgee left these words, he left.

nAfter hearing the reward, the Gold-swallowing Beast swallowed a few more pieces of ore and began to close its eyes and sleep soundly.

nAs long as he slept, he would have almost finished refining.

n

"Finally, a new chapter is about to begin. The waters that were previously impossible to step into are now going to be explored again.

"

nMcgee stood at the highest point of the mountain and looked at the distant waters with a yearning gaze.

nSpeaking of which, if there was anything he could do, he did not want to explore that area of water at all.

nHowever, the water level was still rising.

nIn just one day, the water level had risen by more than ten centimeters.

nAt this speed, it would take at most ten days or twenty days to completely submerge the island.

nAt that time, they would have no choice but to move. Instead of waiting until they had no choice, it would be better for them to take the initiative to explore the outside world.

nThey could even consider building a house on the surface of the water.

nHowever, this fixed foundation still needed some stronger materials.

nOtherwise, it would be a pipe dream.

nWhen Mcgee thought of this, he immediately ran to a place with more soil without hesitation.

nThen, he directly ordered the pangolin to dig out a large piece of empty land.

n

"Decompose.

"

n

"Congratulations on obtaining soil X472.

"

nThat's right, Mcgee was currently collecting soil. When the island was submerged, and there was no soil, what would his plants do?

nIt was just that this little bit of soil was not enough, so Mcgee began to do it himself.

nAfter they had been busy for nearly two hours, they finally collected a total of 3,000 pieces of soil.

nOriginally, they wanted to continue collecting.

nBut the system notification said.

nThe same item could only be collected for a maximum of 3,000 pieces, and after that, it would occupy the position of the second item.

nMoreover, the system space could store up to 999 different items.

nIn other words, there were only 999 grids.

nAlthough it was not that much for the time being, after thinking about it, he decided to forget about it.

nAnyway, 3,000 sets of soil were enough.

n

"I'll make some preparations. I'll go outside to explore tomorrow.

"
