Before landing on the island, Li Yaolin’s knowledge of Taipa Island was limited to a few words in the encyclopedia. Because there are hundreds of uninhabited islands in the country – to be precise, uninhabited islands – 176 of them have been approved for development and utilization.

     There are large and small uninhabited islands, but often only those that have been developed can be found online. More information can be found online.

     There are no entries on the Internet for those islands that have not yet been developed. Only places with professional documents, such as libraries and institutions that study oceans and islands, will have more detailed information. But this information is not available to ordinary people. Generally difficult to find.

     Taipa Island appears in the entry because it is the largest uninhabited island in the oil market. If you search for local news, you can also find one or two reports about the investment and development by the previous island owner.

     The moment Li Yaolin stepped onto the small pier on Taipa Island, a familiar push notification ringtone suddenly rang on her phone.

     Before she could take out her mobile phone, the crew reminded her from behind: “The return flight is at six o’clock. It is the last boat today. If you miss it, you will have to spend the night on the island.”

     “Thank you!” Li Yaolin thanked him and left the dock behind two middle-aged men who were going fishing.

     The pier on this island is relatively small, more than ten meters long and less than three meters wide. It is as long and straight as a ruler. There are no guardrails on both sides of the pier. If a wave rolls over, it is really possible for people to be swept into the deep sea.

     Growing up, Li Yaolin had only gone to the beach a handful of times, and this was his first time on the island, so every step he took would bring about a different kind of turbulent emotion.

 

     “Ding——” 

Poseidon Holiday APP started to work hard to increase its presence.

     After Li Yaolin walked a little far away from the dock, she stopped and took out her mobile phone to open the APP. As expected, the interface changed. Not only had the task prompt been completed, but there was also a cutscene:

     I saw a small black dot suddenly appear in the ocean. The black dot gradually grew bigger, and then swam and swam. A Q-version mermaid with a red tail and a harpoon in hand jumped out of the sea and hit the phone screen head-on.

     Li Yaolin burst into laughter.

     What is this little mermaid doing?

     Is this a table pet? Quite cute.

     The little mermaid covered its head and climbed up. It held on to the frame of the screen unsteadily, and it took a while to recover. After a moment, it bowed, and a text bubble appeared above its head: “Hello, island owner, my name is Xiaoyu, and I am your little assistant. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me (`·v·`). ❤️ “

     Li Yaolin: “…”

     Why didn’t you have this little assistant before?

     The little mermaid replied: “Because the island owner has just activated the island owner’s permissions! Before the island owner activates the permissions, this assistant is offline!”

     Li Yaolin’s eyes were shaking: “I didn’t speak or type just now. How did you know what I wanted to ask?!”

     The little mermaid blinked her eyes, looking innocent and sincere, but what she said made Li Yaolin’s hair stand on end: “Because the island owner has bound this APP! I am a little assistant, and in the relevant field, I naturally know what the island owner is thinking.”

 

     What!

     On a hot day, Li Yaolin broke into a cold sweat.

     With such a supernatural painting style and such an unscientific existence, she will have no privacy at all in the future, right?

     However, this time the little mermaid made no movement.

     Li Yaolin was not sure whether the other party was pretending to be deaf or dumb, or whether the other party’s “mind-reading” ability had certain limitations.

     From the time she started binding the APP to this day, she had many questions in her mind, and she desperately wanted to get an answer, but when she really had the chance to ask, she didn’t know where to start.

     In fact, after the little mermaid appeared, she guessed that what happened to her was most likely not man-made, but the result of the intervention of some supernatural forces. For example, this APP was mentioned in everything from its name to its information, and its presence was unacceptable. The neglected “Poseidon”.

     It’s just unclear whether this “Poseidon” refers to a certain god or a mysterious organization represented by “Poseidon”.

     After the world view was rewritten, Li Yaolin felt that it was no longer magical that she had drawn an island…

     It’s not a piece of shit!

     So why did this happen to her? !

     Little Mermaid: “Congratulations to the island owner for completing the mission and activating the island owner’s authority. Do you want to receive a million yuan cash reward?”

     Li Yaolin’s eyebrows were filled with joy: “Take it, take it.”

     What kind of Poseidon, what kind of organization, how can there be money and fragrance?

     Little Mermaid: “One million dollars in cash has arrived, please check it carefully.”

     Li Yaolin subconsciously wanted to open the bank APP to check, but remembering that she was afraid that this rogue application would steal user information, she had already uninstalled the financial APP.

     She didn’t activate any text message reminders, so for a while she couldn’t confirm whether millions of dollars in cash had actually arrived.

     Suddenly, the interface of the APP changed: the blue sea originally occupied 90% of the interface, but now there is only a little blue on the edge, and the boat-shaped island takes up almost the entire screen.

     The information column that was originally either “to be unlocked” or “0” has also been updated.

 

  【Island】Taipa Island (can be changed)

  【Island Owner】Li Yaolin+

  【Area】 2.9 square kilometers (290 hectares: island land area 220 hectares/sea area 70 hectare

  【Development progress】 Infrastructure +1% (1 reservoir, 1 public toilet, simple dock)

  【Business Level】Level 0

  【Rating】None

  【Poseidon Satisfaction】0

 

……

 

     Li Yaolin asked the little mermaid: “What exactly is Poseidon’s satisfaction?”

     Originally it was 0, then it became -5, and now it has changed back to 0. What is the reason for its change, and what are the standards for change?

     The Little Mermaid: “It’s how satisfied Poseidon is with the island owner’s progress in developing the island.”

     “Then why is there a negative number?”

     Little Mermaid: “The initial satisfaction level is 0. If there is no development progress for a month, 5 satisfaction points will be deducted. If you complete the corresponding tasks or reach the goal, the satisfaction level will increase.”

     “What will happen if the satisfaction level is deducted?”

     “The rewards will decrease randomly, and you will become more and more unlucky.”

     Li Yaolin: “…”

     Why is it still cursed?

     “So does this water drop mean reservoir?” Li Yaolin said as she clicked on the water drop icon that appeared at the highest point in the center of the island.

     As expected, here is an introduction to the reservoir:

 

  【Reservoir】

Storage capacity: 300 cubic meters

Water storage capacity: 20/300 (tons)

 

     Li Yaolin figured out something about it: after the island owner’s permissions are activated, she can learn about the entire island’s information from the APP, including the island’s area, coastline, altitude, geology and other more professional information.

     But so far, she feels like she is playing a game and has no idea how to develop and manage the island.

     At least the game will use novice guides or tasks to guide her to the next step, but it is obviously impossible to operate such a huge uninhabited island like a game.

     The little mermaid didn’t give her any guidance.

     Li Yaolin scratched her head and decided to take a stroll around the island first.

     From a distance and overlooking Taipa Island, you can see that 80% of its surface is covered by lush green vegetation. There are a small number of tree vegetation on the mountains. The plants closer to the coastline are mostly shrubs and weeds. Li Yaolin can only recognize a few types. .

     Such an environment is indeed easy to breed mosquitoes.

     Moreover, why did she smell a strange smell? It’s like the smell of dead and decaying fish, shrimp, jellyfish and stranded fish, but it’s not just this smell.

     Li Yaolin was thinking intently when he suddenly stepped on something soft under her feet.

     She had an ominous premonition in her heart. She lowered her head and saw that fortunately it was just a diaper. Unfortunately, it was a diaper covered in feces. There were faint black and yellow marks on it that had dried.

 

     Li Yaolin: “…”

 

     She suddenly shrank her feet, covered her mouth and took a few steps back.

     I don’t know if her eyes triggered some kind of light. Wherever she looked, there were either feces in the weeds or garbage. The island that was green just now seemed to have turned into a garbage island.

     In addition to the garbage washed up by the sea water on the coast and the floating corpses of marine life, the garbage and feces in these weeds are most likely left by tourists who come for camping and fishing.

     “Isn’t it said that there are public toilets? Why do you still urinate in public?”

     Li Yaolin didn’t understand and was greatly shocked.

     The little mermaid came online: “Let’s just say, is there a possibility that the sanitary condition of public toilets is worse?”

 

     Li Yaolin: “…”

     Okay, she already knows what to do next.

     Development and management are far less important than improving sanitation first! Otherwise, even if she launches many projects to attract tourists, people will be turned away by the garbage and feces on the island when they land on the island.

 

     “Ding——”

     The Poseidon Holiday APP pushed an advertisement:
