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

Chapter 256 Soul Binding
More expectation, more disappointment.

If you only think about returning to the real world, you won't be able to stay in this game world for even a single day.

This is the survival wisdom that has gradually evolved among the players who have survived to the present day.

There has also been progress on Huarong's side, and Jiang Lai is preparing to merge with Ping'an Island today.

Jiang Ning will just need to notify all the players on Ginger Island.

Although there are still seven or eight days before the next server merger, it is better to do it sooner rather than later.

When Jiang Ning heard about the 500,000 shell coins, he transferred all the shell coins he had back to Jiang Lai.

Counting these, Jiang Lai now has more than 1.6 million shell coins.

Jiang Lai looked at the balance of his shell coins and fell into deep thought.

When Qi Jingxing mentioned Hua Rong's request, Jiang Lai was distracted.

At that time, she was wondering why she had forgotten that if the players returned to the real world, they would not be able to take the shelter back with them. What about the contracted beasts?

The contract should be automatically terminated and everyone should return to the sea.

She didn't have time to think about it carefully at that time, but now that she had some free time, Jiang Lai thought about it carefully and she couldn't bear to part with her little tail.

There are many animals belonging to Jiang Lai on Ginger Island.

The beasts of the Seamon Team are equivalent to working beasts for Jiang Lai.

She trained them to work for her, provided them with food, shelter and pay them a salary.

Although the old turtle and the white snake have made a contract with me, they have been guarding the sea for me. In terms of feelings, their feelings for me are definitely not as deep as those for the sea.

Xiaolu is still a baby, so naturally he should be with his mother, needless to say.

Although the little sponge has a good relationship with himself and the little tail, it has many playmates and friends in the sea. Now he often goes to the sea area to play with his old friends and help him to find out information.

It will never give up this sea.

Not to mention Xiao Jin, it is not Jiang Lai's contracted beast until now.

Even if Jiang Lai took it in, it would only recognize Little Weiba as its big brother. To it, Jiang Lai was just its big brother's master.

Ever since Xiaokui was able to move, it chose a fertile piece of land to take root, and now it has developed into a large sunflower field.

Only the little tail is left.

In terms of feelings, Jiang Lai's feelings for Little Tail are the deepest. They have been through the most things together. Little Tail was also hatched from an egg by Jiang Lai, and then raised up little by little, helping it upgrade to the current half-sea creature.

Little Weiba had never seen his parents, and the first person he saw when he was born was Jiang Lai.

It grew up by Jiang Lai's side since it was a child, and the time it spent in the sea is not as long as the time it spent by Jiang Lai's side.

If possible, Jiang Lai really wanted to take the little tail away.

The little tail can now be reduced in size at will, and Jiang Lai is willing to keep it as a little pet for life.

But, Little Tail is already a half-sea creature. Would it be willing to spend the rest of its life curled up into the smallest size, giving up its own power, and being treated as a pet?

Jiang Lai felt that even if he was reluctant, he could not selfishly make such an important decision for Xiaoweiba.

This matter still depends on Xiaowei's own wishes.

He still had 1.6 million shell coins, enough for Little Tail to choose his own life as a beast.

Jiang Lai prepared to have a serious talk with Little Weiba about this matter after he came back from Haibao.

“It’s done, Huarong Island has been successfully merged.

All the special plants have been brought to the island, and the mission has reached 90 percent completion."

Chen Lifa said in the group.

Now only the last 10% is left. As long as the islands can be merged, the ultimate mission can be completed.

Jiang Lai was overjoyed when she heard the news. She immediately steered the Ginger Island towards Ping An Island. And under Chen Lifa's control, Ping An Island also slowly approached Jiang Lai.

The two islands set out together on the sea towards hope.

"Little tail, come back quickly, we are going to merge the islands."

Thinking about the contracted beast, Jiang Lai was busy calling the little tail in his heart.

Considering the distance and speed between Ginger Island and Ping An Island, it would take at least five hours to meet them.

This is enough time for Little Tail to go home.

"Okay Lailai, go home as fast as you can!"

Xiaoweiba received the message from Jiang Lai and rushed home immediately.

The mission progress has reached 90%, and the last two islands are about to be merged.

All the players are waiting with great anticipation.

At this moment, everyone was waiting for the same result.

That is home.

Return to their real home where they have family and friends and are extremely safe.

While waiting, Jiang Lai had nothing to do, so she added Hua Rong as a friend.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Lai."

"Hello Jiang Lai, I'm Hua Rong. Thank you for the seashell coins."

Hua Rong had successfully bound his soul to his contracted beast, Xiao Gu, and he relaxed completely.

Knowing that Jiang Lai spent 500,000 yuan to collect the last batch of shell coins, I was very grateful.

Even if that was her condition for joining the island, Hua Rong would be grateful to anyone who could help herself and Xiao Gu.

"I have a question for you. After the soul of a contracted beast is bound, can it be brought back to the real world?
What happens then? Will the contracted beast's size change permanently? Will it lose all its power? Will there be any harm to its body?"

When it comes to bringing the little tail home, Jiang Lai is extremely cautious.

She believed that Hua Rong, who loved her contracted beast so much, must have understood all these issues clearly before making such a decision.

"Are you considering soul-binding your contracted beast?"

Hua Rong immediately understood what Jiang Lai meant.

Hua Rong admired people who also treated their contracted beasts as their own treasures, and her favorability towards Jiang Lai increased again.

“Soul binding is like having an extra transit space for your contracted beast in your body.

After soul binding, your contracted beast can still live in the sea, and can also appear by your side at any time when you summon it.

However, due to the constraints of the real world, when it appears next to you, it will be reduced to meet the standards of a real-world beast, and its strength will be reduced in the same proportion.

But it doesn’t matter, when it returns to the sea, it will change back to its original state.”

Hua Rong indeed understood everything carefully before binding her soul to Xiao Gu.

Apart from the fact that the cost of one million shell coins is too high, there is no disadvantage at all to soul-binding a contracted beast.

It turns out that the contracted beast can freely travel between the sea and the world where the master lives.

Hua Rong's answer made Jiang Lai no longer have any worries.

This not only gives the little fish the freedom to roam in the sea, but also allows it to meet you at any time. It's simply the best of both worlds.

These one million shell coins must be spent! It’s worth it!

In the last half hour on the island, the little tail rushed back from the sea.

Jiang Lai explained to it in detail the matter of soul binding.
