Chapter 11. Gain Buff

 【Do you want to spend 0 yuan to establish a no-fishing zone? 】

 

     Li Yaolin was surprised and delighted. She was surprised that she didn’t spend any money this time, and she was delighted that her idea was correct!

     “Yes!”

     Build Success!

 

     【No-fishing zone】

     Affinity coefficient: 15

     Pollution index: 38 (level 4 pollution)

     Operation cost: 100 yuan/day

 

     Li Yaolin: “?”

     There was a value that she couldn’t understand. What is “affinity coefficient”?

     Li Yaolin decided to ask again tomorrow when the little mermaid came online.

     As night fell, the entire ocean was shrouded in the dark sky. The boundary between the sky and the sea disappeared in the darkness. The sea breeze raised huge waves. The fishing boats went up and down, swaying left and right, making it difficult to tell where the sky was and where the sea was.

     After stubbornly sailing around Xingzhou Island, several big men struggled to collect their fishing nets. Under the swaying lights, they were soon dumbfounded.

     It took so much effort and risking being caught, they came to the waters of this uninhabited island to fish, saying that there were red groupers, but what was the result? They worked hard for most of the day, but all they caught were very common and worthless small fish!

     The total of these fish was not as good as the fish caught by those anglers in a day!

     “Should we get closer to the island?” someone asked.

     The captain took a puff of cigarette and didn’t want to go there in vain, so he ordered: “Get closer, cast the net again!”

     Everyone on the boat got busy.

      However, reality once again dealt them a heavy blow. This time the boat was closer to Xingzhou Island, but the fish caught were not as many as the last time.

     “This, should we get closer?”

     The captain glared at the person who was talking: “If we get closer, we will hit the reef!”

     After the high tide, except for the fishing platform and the reefs inside, the outer reefs have been submerged by sea water. Fishing boats will hit the reefs or run aground in a few minutes. There is no need to gamble with their lives.

     “It’s really weird. There weren’t so few fish before!” the captain muttered.

     He was talking about the fishermen in the nearby fishing villages who hadn’t secretly come to these uninhabited islands to fish before Li Yaolin developed Xingzhou Island. They would have caught some fish, but they didn’t expect to be so unlucky tonight. Not only did they get nothing, but they also lost their gas and labor costs!

     They returned empty-handed.

     But they will never be the last group of people who want to come to fish secretly.

 

…..

 

     “The affinity coefficient is also called the ‘natural affinity coefficient’ and the ‘ocean affinity coefficient’. The higher the coefficient, the higher the affinity with nature and the ocean.”

     At nine o’clock in the morning, after the little mermaid came online, Li Yaolin asked about the setting of the affinity coefficient.

     After listening to the little mermaid’s explanation, Li Yaolin suddenly realized: “So the affinity coefficient and the pollution index are completely opposite values? Is it true that the higher the affinity coefficient, the less pollution?”

     The little mermaid shook her head: “The higher the affinity coefficient, the better the ecological environment of nature and the ocean, and the more suitable it is for marine life to survive and gain their love. When the affinity coefficient is increased to a certain level, it may allow some rare marine life to live here for a long time, so that it can be upgraded to a special protection area. The pollution index can only provide information on marine pollution.”

     “After I set up a no-fishing zone last night, the fishing boats did not leave. Is the effect of this no-fishing zone too small?” Li Yaolin asked again.

     “The no-fishing zone cannot prohibit the intrusion of fishing boats, but the creatures in the area can avoid being caught by fishing boats.”

     Li Yaolin exclaimed: “This is really fucking awesome.”

     The little mermaid: “Island owner, pay attention to your image and don’t say swear words. People are still young and can be easily taught bad things (︶∨︶)”

     Li Yaolin: “…”

     Okay, she reflected.

     Today, she did not go to the island with Lin Qitong. Lin Qitong was going to shoot a video on the island. She simply went to the 50-year-old duck porridge shop recommended by Lao Du and packed a bowl of duck porridge to bring to Lin Qitong as lunch.

     The duck porridge in this shop is very good. The duck used is Muscovy duck, also known as hermit duck in the local area. It tastes different from the duck that Li Yaolin bought at the Yangshi vegetable market. The meat of ordinary ducks is a bit tough, but the Muscovy duck in this shop is firm and tender, without that smell of mutton. After cutting into pieces, it is sprinkled with crushed peanuts and special sauce, which makes it very memorable after eating.

     The porridge is cooked with duck soup, which is soft and delicious. Most importantly, the porridge is free!

     She sent it to Lin Qitong while it was hot. The latter shot a video on the island for a whole morning. Although she applied sunscreen, she was obviously darker.

     Fortunately, her video will be added with a whitening filter first, so she didn’t complain to Li Yaolin.

     “How did the shooting go?” Li Yaolin asked.

     Lin Qitong also took a photo of the duck porridge and said, “I’ve already thought of the copywriting, I just want to collect more materials.”

     “Then tell me when you’re done.”

     Lin Qitong heard what she meant. If she hadn’t said she was done, she would have stayed here as long as she wanted.

     No wonder the two price plans were so different at the beginning. She was glad that she chose plan one. Otherwise, if she chose plan two, she would have to find a hotel, buy a boat ticket, and solve the problem of eating after coming here. If she stayed a few more days, the promotion fee she got would not be as much as plan one.

     The reason why Li Yaolin was so generous was that she finally waited for 300 tourists to reach the target, completed the task, and received a cash reward of 3 million!

     With extra money in hand, she finally felt more confident.

     If the task is not completed, she can only drink white porridge from tomorrow.

     The little mermaid asked, “The island owner has a reward. Do you want to accept it?”

     “Accept.” Li Yaolin knew that this must be the random reward. It was like opening a blind box. You didn’t know what you would get.

     “Congratulations to the island owner for winning a ship, ‘Poseidon No. 1 Aluminum Passenger Ship’. Please choose a parking location.”

     Li Yaolin was slightly surprised. She thought it was another discount card or something. She didn’t expect the reward to be so rich!

     She suddenly remembered that the random reward seemed to be linked to Poseidon’s satisfaction.

     When she opened the message, as expected, Poseidon’s satisfaction had risen to 18 points, 10 of which were rewards after completing this task. When she set up the “no-fishing zone” before, Poseidon also quietly increased her satisfaction.

     Another notification window popped up on the APP:

 

    【Poseidon’s satisfaction reached 10 points, and Poseidon’s market was opened. 】

    【Poseidon’s satisfaction reached 10 points, and a subsidy for Poseidon’s support project was obtained: for every 100 additional tourists, 10,000 yuan of development funds will be added (only for island development items). 】

 

     Li Yaolin was so shocked that she forgot to choose the parking position of the passenger ship. Seeing that she didn’t respond for a long time, the little mermaid threw it into [Assets].

     “There is also a buff?!” Li Yaolin poked the little mermaid.

     The little mermaid said: “Of course there is, so the island owner should work hard to develop the island and let the sea god have a satisfactory holiday, and the sea god will increase the support for the island owner!”

     “Is the buff time-limited?”

     The little mermaid: “If the island owner goes bankrupt and the sea god’s satisfaction drops below 10 points, the subsidy will be automatically cancelled~”

     Li Yaolin couldn’t stand the word bankruptcy the most. She decided to open the assets and take a look at her three million balance and the passenger ship estimated to be worth two or three million to comfort her frightened heart.

     Soon she cheered up again: “Why does the sea god market need satisfaction to open, but the talent market doesn’t?”

     “The island owner can explore it by herself!”

     Li Yaolin: “…”

     Curiosity drove her to open the sea god market. There were very few products inside, only a “smart power system” priced at 100,000 yuan.

     It is reported that after installing this smart power system, all power grids connected to this system can operate intelligently, and after careful calculation, they will reasonably distribute and transmit electricity to achieve energy saving and environmental protection. Of course, the island owner can also manually open or close the power switch of the entire island on the APP.

     “This looks pretty good.” Li Yaolin has already laid cables and bought a diesel generator. However, she is often not on the island. When she is not generating electricity, she is afraid that the electronic lock will fail and others will steal things; running the generator consumes too much diesel. If this “smart power system” is installed, she will no longer have to worry about these things!

     And this system is only 100,000 yuan, which is cheaper than when she developed the sea fishing grounds. After using the discount card, it only costs 80,000 yuan!

     Li Yaolin decisively bought and installed it, so that she can also control the switch of the power switch

on the APP.

     In addition, she decided to improve the infrastructure and solve the transportation problems of Xingzhou Island.
