Started with a broken ship, I became king by fishing for treasure chests

Chapter 241 Preparation before the war
With these laborers, Jiang Lai stopped digging and just looked around to see who had dug something out. He would then collect it and exchange it directly for shell coins.

The little sponge stopped digging and started to act as a supervisor, directing the big animals not to damage the shells and delay Lai Lai's work.

These shells are large in size but not buried very deeply.

It was effortless for a line of sea beasts to dig up the mess, using just two claws.

Soon, more than half of Beike Mountain became bald, and all of it was taken by Jiang Lai.

The number of Jiang Lai's shell coins has also exceeded one million.

There were some completely opened shells near the top of the mountain, so Jiang Lai gave up directly.

She was afraid that these sea beasts would be too careless and something unexpected might happen if they got too close to the colorful shells.

Compared to wanting shell coins, it is more important to ensure that the colorful shells are intact.

After the collection was completed, Jiang Lai asked the other sea beasts to go back first, and he waited here with Little Tail and Little Sponge for the arrival of Haiga and the others.

Just now, Jiang Lai had sent Haijia the specific coordinates.

Haijia said that she and Haibao would arrive soon.

Jiang Lai thought about it and decided not to leave to ensure safety, but to prepare to hand over the task personally.

This is a serious matter, so it never hurts to be too cautious.

While waiting, Jiang Lai looked at her millions of shell coins and couldn't help but smile a smile that only rich women can.

It feels so good to have money.

She browsed the mall again and found a lot of good things, but she really didn't need anything at the moment.

You can exchange it when you need it.

Haijia and Haibao arrived quickly.

"This Shell Mountain..."

Hega looked at the mountain, which was half bare and half covered with shells, and felt a little hesitant.

"That's absolutely right, the colorful shell on the top is what we need.

As for this mountain, it’s a little ugly, but it doesn’t matter.”

Jiang Lai said this with great confidence, as if he was not the one who plucked the mountain bald.

Apparently, Little Tail and Little Sponge haven't developed such thick skin yet. They all lowered their heads, afraid of showing any guilty expression and being exposed.

Hega moved slightly closer to the top of the mountain and carefully looked at the seashell that was almost the same size as himself.

Finally nodded.

"That's right, Jiang Lai, you are really amazing!"

When Haibao was at home, Haijia had already told him about contacting his biological father. Now looking at Caibei, he seemed eager to try.

“It’s just that the energy of this seashell has not been completely absorbed yet. It will take another two or three days before it opens.

I will send my people to wait here.

Leave the rest to us.”

The seashell area was found, and Haijia felt relieved.

After everything was handed over, Jiang Lai left with his two beasts.

"How come the Sea Clan is so powerful, but their ability to gather information is not as good as yours?"

On the way, Little Tail asked Little Sponge curiously.

It knows how powerful Haibao's family is.

How could Haiga and the others not be able to find out something that SpongeBob could find out?
“You don’t understand this. They are indeed powerful, but their range of activity is limited to a certain area, and they act high and mighty all day long.

The other sea beasts would probably be eaten as food, so how could they possibly communicate with them?

I am different, I am so cute and kind, I have the best affinity with animals!"

Jiang Lai understood.

Isn't this just a folk matter? The emperor may not be as fast as the Beggars' Gang in getting information. She understands that.

Back at Ginger Island, Jiang Lai went home to rest.

The seashell area has been found, and the work of contacting the Sea God has been advanced.

All that was left was to help Ping An Island complete the remaining 30% of the progress, find the beasts, and complete the paradise on earth.

Jiang Lai kept these two things in mind.

But tomorrow is the Sea King Beast Tide, so everything will have to wait until the Sea King Beast Tide is over.

After thinking over what he needed to do, Jiang Lai lay down on the bed and took a nap.

When Jiang Lai opened his eyes again, it was already dark outside.

Carl sent her a message saying that he had completed his long-distance mission and returned to the island.

Qi Jingxing and Chen Lifa each built ten fifteen-story buildings. They were very generous with the material costs and left a lot of surplus, saying that it was a reward for Master Karl.

Twenty buildings, that sounds time-consuming.

But for Carl, it was not a complicated job.

As long as you design the first building, you can copy and paste the remaining 19 buildings on your workbench.

One person is like an engineering team.

That’s the great thing about the gaming world.

The night before a crisis is always thrilling. Even in the quiet darkness, one can wonder if there is something hiding inside that could take one's life.

Jiang Lai took a nap in the afternoon and couldn't sleep at night.

I might as well stay in the war room on the edge of the island and wait for dawn with everyone.

The time stated by the system has already started at 0 o'clock. It is now o'clock in the morning. The beast tide may suddenly come at any time.

Everyone is ready.

Turing Li Xue brought the children, Lin Yuxiang brought the scientific researchers, and some old and weak players with poor combat abilities, all gathered in the building in the center of the island.

Edith sent a team to protect everyone's safety, and Jiang Lai asked Xiao Jin and Xiao Haimian to guard there as well.

Xiao Jin is responsible for the military force, and Xiao Haimian is Jiang Lai’s contracted beast, which can be regarded as Jiang Lai’s eyes planted there.

As for other players who have combat capabilities themselves or their contracted beasts, they all arm themselves spontaneously without being mobilized, take up weapons and obey orders at any time, ready to defend their homes.

The island is there, and the people are there.

The island is gone, and the people are gone.

This is a truth that everyone knows.

As the chief coordinator, Edith was currently with Jiang Lai, Jiang Ning and others, making a pre-war coordination report.

"The protective shield is intact."

"The tower has been upgraded by Master Karl. Its firepower has a longer coverage area and greater lethality."

"In the sea area on the edge of the island, some players' contracted beasts are led by the Sea King Beast Team and are lying in ambush and waiting for battle at any time."

"The players of the team are fully armed and are standing at their positions, waiting for instructions."

Jiang Ning listened carefully to Edith's report.

Jiang Lai leaned lazily in his chair, scrolling through the chat channel on the panel.

It was already early morning, but the players were all ready for battle, and none of them was brave enough to lie in bed and take a nap.

The sea beast tide has not yet arrived.

When people are nervous, they like to find something to do, so there are more people online in the chat channel than usual.

"What should I do? I'm so nervous."

"You upstairs joined that island?"

"Pirate Island."

"Then I'll accept your condolences."

"…What should I do? No one wants me. Cry."

"I'm still in the group. (Smile)"——Li Haibo
“…I’m completely done this time.”

Perhaps it has experienced many disasters.

This time, everyone went to the island to fight the sea beast tide instead of fighting alone. Although the players were also worried, they were obviously not as scared as before, and the chat atmosphere in the channel was not very heavy.
