Chapter 2. Her Island

     The ocean in the APP interface is not static. The sea surface is rough and the waves are beating on the isolated island in clusters. The boat-shaped island is like a boat sailing in the ocean, surrounded by nothing but sea.

     Li Yaolin once suspected that this was a dynamic wallpaper, until she accidentally clicked on the island, and a string of information popped up on the interface:

   【Island】 Taipa Island (can be changed)

   【Island Owner】Li Yaolin (inactive)

   【Area】 To be unlocked

   【Development Progress】To be unlocked

   【Business Level】 Level 0

   【Rating】 To be unlocked

   【Poseidon Satisfaction】 0

……

“Gu——”

    Her body function sounded the alarm of hunger and thirst. Li Yaolin came to her senses, stuffed her phone back into her trouser pocket, took another sip of water, and decided to book a room at a nearby hotel chain to rest and solve the problem of lunch.

     Of course she had to go to the island, but according to the convenience store owner, there were only three boat trips to the island, one at 9 a.m., the one at noon had already started, and the next one was at 4 p.m.

     There were still a few hours until 4 p.m., and she couldn’t waste time in this hot weather, otherwise she would be like the salted fish drying at the dock, dried up before she even got to the island.

    The first thing she did after opening the room was to turn on the air conditioner. The hotel’s air conditioner had poor cooling effect, so Li Yaolin stood at the air conditioner outlet to charge her mobile phone and ordered a takeaway.

     The takeaway was delivered very quickly, and she poked at the Poseidon Holiday APP while scrolling.

     According to the meaning of this APP, the reason why she was bound to the identity of the island owner is because she won the island named “Taipa Island” in the lottery and became the island owner.     

      As the island owner, she needs to develop and manage Taipa Island to gain Poseidon’s satisfaction and make Poseidon have a happy vacation.

     At first, she thought she was just facing a fraud gang. It was not until the documents with the official seal were delivered to her that she realized that things were not as simple as she thought.

      The document was sent by a lawyer named Wu, and along with the document was the other party’s business card.

     Li Yaolin checked the information on the business card and found that the law firm was serious and the lawyers were real. However, judging from the collusion between the other party and Poseidon Holiday APP, the identity of Lawyer Wu is probably not simple.

     Lawyer Wu was vigorous and resolute, but also taciturn. Apart from handing her the documents and telling her to go through the procedures in time, she would not say much else.

  Li Yaolin: “…”

       It is impossible for her to take over all this in a daze. If she couldn’t find out anything from Lawyer Wu, she would go to the official father to check. As a result, after checking again and again, these documents turned out to be real and valid!

     She was excited and uneasy. She clicked on the APP to get more information and found that Poseidon’s satisfaction level had changed from 0 to -5. There was also a mailbox icon in the upper right corner of the APP interface, and there was also a striking red number  that kept flashing. , as if to say: Click me, click me!

       She clicked it and realized it was a mission card.

     【Task: Activate island owner’s authority (unfinished)

 Complete tasks to get millions of cash!

Warm reminder: Arrive at the sea area shown on the map and find the target island. 】

     According to the mission prompt, her island owner permissions have not yet been activated. The permissions can only be activated by finding the target island first. After activating the permission, she will receive one million yuan in cash!

     Talking about money is so vulgar, mainly because she is more interested in developing islands.”

     Li Yaolin: One million cash hehehehe… (°﹃°)

   【Poseidon Holiday APP:……】

    Back to the subject, Li Yaolin had nothing, so he came all the way here, so he thought he was here for a trip.

     Fortunately, although this seaside town is not prosperous, it is not in northern Myanmar. She does not have to worry about losing her waist.

     The APP did not show any feedback on the completion of the task. It seemed that she had not found Taipa Island in a day, so except that Poseidon’s satisfaction would continue to decline, there would be no changes in the interface.

     When the time was almost up, Li Yaolin put on sunscreen and changed into a pair of sports pants. Although the denim shorts were refreshing, they would be blown away by the sea breeze and exposed to the sun for half a year. In addition, she noticed that it was convenient. The owner of the shop said that there are mosquitoes on the island. Although the sports pants are a bit hot, they can protect you from mosquito bites.

     As soon as I came out of the cool and comfortable air-conditioned room, a wave of heat hit my face, and my body temperature suddenly rose.

    Without the constraints of the suitcase, Li Yaolin finally had her hands free to hold the umbrella. However, after only holding it under the sun for a few minutes, it was as stuffy as a steamer under the umbrella.

     She quickly came to the ticket office of the pier and bought a half-price round-trip ticket for 30 yuan while her student ID card had not yet been collected. Li Yaolin couldn’t wait to board this ferry that seemed to have some story to tell.

     The ferry’s hull is mottled and yellow, the ceiling fan on the roof has accumulated a thick layer of black dirt, the surface of the plastic seats is also cracked, the iron on the deck is rusty, and the paint on the bottom of the ferry has been washed away by the waves and has lost its original color. 

     After feeling the wind blowing from the top, Li Yaolin felt like she was alive again.

     There are only two staff members on the ferry, one is the helmsman who drives the ship, and the other is the crew member who is responsible for both selling tickets and helping out.

     In addition to them, there were two middle-aged men on the ferry wearing fisherman hats and carrying large and small bags, who looked like they were going camping. But judging from their conversation, their purpose was not camping, but fishing.

     When it was time to sail, the crew saw that no one was coming, so they took up the tow rope and notified the helmsman to sail.

     The sound of the “dah-dah” motor came, and the smell of engine oil and exhaust gas also filled the air from the ferry, making people feel a little nauseous. Fortunately, after the ferry speeded up, the sea breeze became stronger and the smell dissipated a lot.

     The crew gave life jackets to the three passengers and asked them to put them on. After doing nothing, his eyes fell on Li Yaolin and asked: “Pretty girl, what are you doing on the island?”

      She was the only one carrying a backpack. She didn’t look like she was going fishing or camping.

     Did you spend thirty yuan just to take a walk around the island?

     Li Yaolin’s heart tightened and she felt a sense of vigilance. There were four men on this ferry across the sea, and she was the only girl. She had to be careful when she went out.

     Hearing this, she tell the the story about her class going on a graduation trip to Taipa Island for camping, and the excuse that she and her classmates came to investigate the terrain was brought up, but with the small detail that her classmates had heat stroke and were resting in the room waiting for her to return.

     The crew had no doubts, after all, groups did often go camping there.

     After realizing that the other party had no ill intentions, Li Yaolin breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a casual tone: “I heard that it is an uninhabited island. What should I prepare if I want to go camping?”

     The crew member said: “It is indeed an uninhabited island, but the terrain is good and the water quality is relatively good. It is a good place for team building. However, there are no recreational facilities on it. There is nothing interesting except barbecue, water play and fishing, so besides In addition to the regular camping equipment, just bring some food, a flashlight and mosquito repellent water. There is running water and a signal. “

     Li Yaolin was slightly surprised: “Is there running water on an uninhabited island?”

     The crew member said: “A boss was interested in this place before and wanted to turn it into a tourist island like Qionghai West Island. I heard that he rented it for five years and spent 3 million to build a reservoir on the island and install optical fiber. The investment alone was several million. As a result, the business was not doing well, and it was unable to make ends meet, and it lost several million in half a year.

     “Who can bear to suffer such losses? He originally wanted to develop some projects to make money, but the government believed that those projects would destroy the ecological environment of the island and refused to develop them. For this matter, the boss traveled both ways on the island and the shore every day. As a result, We still haven’t reached an agreement, and after the lease expires, the place will be vacant.”

     Li Yaolin’s heart felt cold after hearing this.

     Good guy, the wealthy former island owner was tricked into losing money every year. Doesn’t she, a penniless poor woman, want to be promoted to a “millionaire”?

     I don’t know if throwing the phone into the sea now can unbind it from the APP.

     She said coolly: “Is that why there are ships going to and from uninhabited islands?”

     The crew member didn’t know why she suddenly looked more sad than heartbroken, and said happily: “Yes, our route was opened by the boss in partnership with others. No, after the island was left deserted, the government felt The resources on the island have not been fully utilized, so we have left this route intact and hired a management company to take care of it so that everyone can go camping and play on the island for only a small fee.”

     Suddenly, the crew member said mysteriously: “But I heard that a new boss came to take over the island recently. Hey, they are so awesome that they rented it for fifty years at a time. The rent must not be hundreds of millions!”

     The island cannot be bought or sold, but can only be leased for a maximum period of fifty years. Therefore, the real estate certificate Li Yaolin obtained will state that the right to use the sea area is from April 18, 2021 to April 17, 2071. April 18th was the day she won the lottery to Taipa Island.

     Li Yaolin’s eyes suddenly became very strange.

     So this island is worth hundreds of millions?

    If she transfers this island, wouldn’t it be possible to realize hundreds of millions of funds?

     With this more than 100 million, she can buy many houses and live wherever she wants. She no longer has to worry about coming home one day to find that the door lock has been changed and she will no longer have a place to stay.

     The two men opposite frowned: “So, that place will no longer be open to the public?”

     “Who knows!” The crew member spread his hands, “But if you want to make money, you must charge tickets, but I don’t know how much they will charge.”

     Li Yaolin, the new owner of the island, was in a state of wandering. After all, before she was sure that the island belonged to her, she just thought she was still dreaming. 

     The ferry drove for about ten minutes, and a green island appeared in front of Li Yaolin.

     “We’re almost there, that’s Taipa Island.” The crew got up and prepared to dock.

     After hearing this, Li Yaolin, who was originally calm, suddenly became a little excited, and her mood to land on the island became slightly urgent.

     Is that her island?
