Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Fishing Rod Enhanced 8 Tis
Wang Yi frowned after hearing the system prompt.
’A spontaneous, gathering-style trading market, but damn it, I’m the only one on this island. Who am I supposed to trade with?’
He walked over to the thatched hut in the center of the island and found a vending machine.

’There’s only one Lord Skill Book left. It seems at least four people have been here before.’
Wang Yi rubbed his chin, then spent 21 Gold Coins and decisively purchased a Storage Waistband, a Chaos Blind Box, and a Basic Resource Pack.
He really wanted the Lord Skill Book, too, but the price was too high. He had started with 47 Gold Coins, and after spending 21, he only had 26 left.
’What should I do next?’
While he mulled it over, Wang Yi equipped the Storage Waistband. It was a black, tallic buckle belt with a high-tech feel that tightened automatically. It held a pocket dinsion inside; items could be stored or retrieved with a simple swipe of a finger and a thought. It was incredibly easy to use.
’Not bad. With this Waistband, carrying things will be much more convenient from now on.’
Wang Yi imdiately stored the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles he was carrying in his Storage Waistband, then proceeded to open the Basic Resource Pack.
The Basic Resource Pack looked like a palm-sized cloth pouch. With a simple thought, Wang Yi made it open, and a huge pile of items appeared in front of him.
Wang Yi took a closer look. Before him lay: ten 50kg bags of fine flour (500kg total), one thousand 0.5kg bags of High-quality Sea Salt (500kg total), 1,000 Iron Ingots (10 tons total), 1,000 Brass Ingots (20 tons total), one hundred 10kg barrels of High-quality Peanut Oil (1,000kg total), and one thousand 0.5kg bags of White Granulated Sugar (500kg total). There were also 100 one-size-fits-all military greatcoats and 200 pairs of one-size-fits-all sandals.
’Damn, I could open my own general store with all this!’
’No wonder it was a special offer,’ Wang Yi thought. ’Getting so many supplies for a single Gold Coin is an incredible deal.’
After sweeping all the items into his Chaos Warehouse, Wang Yi opened the Chaos Blind Box.

"Ugh..."
Wang Yi frowned.
’Nine items. Seven white, two green. Doesn’t look like I got anything good.’
’So much for getting a lucky drop and solving Gegeda’s food problem. That fantasy is shattered!’
’The Hidden Sword Ancient Zither is interesting, and the Windproof Lighter could be useful. I wonder what an Enhanced
9 baby stroller would be like? Ah, whatever. I’ll just pick the Solar-Powered Fishing Rod. I can go fishing by the Jade River in my spare ti. Maybe I can even improve our diet.’
After Wang Yi made his choice, a long, arm-length tal box appeared in front of him.
Inside the tal box was, of course, the Solar-Powered Fishing Rod.
However, it began to emit a golden light, which flashed eight tis in succession. The tal box then transford into a Golden Scroll.
Wang Yi took a closer look, his interest piqued.

’Holy cow, the Solar-Powered Fishing Rod got enhanced right into a Sunlight Fishing Tower!’
Wang Yi imagined the scene of fishing with a tower crane. ’Aweso, fun, and interesting,’ he thought. ’I wonder if any hardcore anglers would like this.’
After putting away the Construction Drawings for the Sunlight Fishing Tower, Wang Yi glanced around. With nothing left to buy, he was just wondering if he should leave early when a flash of light appeared nearby, and a Player materialized.
The mont the Player appeared, however, he coughed up a large mouthful of blood, staggered, and collapsed to the ground.
Wang Yi took a closer look. It was a slightly heavyset young man whose face was deathly pale and whose lips were tinged with purple.
[Yue Zheng: Eldest son of Marquis Zhongwu of the Golden Sparrow Country, Vice Commander of the Fla Army. Has achieved minor mastery of his family’s Overlord Spear technique. Has been stripped of his official rank. Possesses 5,000 Chaos Energy. Lord Talent: B-Grade Rapid Marching Army.]
’Soone’s here...’
Wang Yi’s interest was piqued. ’This newcor is no simple character... The eldest son of the Golden Sparrow Country’s Marquis Zhongwu, Vice Commander of the Fla Army, and he even has a family spear technique. How did he get stripped of his rank?’
’But his status doesn’t matter. The important thing is, now that he’s here, I can finally trade.’
But before Wang Yi could approach him, Yue Zheng spoke first. "Friend, I have 118 Gold Coins on . They’re all yours..."
"What do you an?"
"I was betrayed by so scoundrel and I’m mortally wounded. I won’t last long. I’d rather give you these Gold Coins than let my enemies take them after I leave the Free Market."
As he spoke, Yue Zheng pulled a bulging coin purse from within his robes and tossed it directly to Wang Yi.
He let out a long sigh and said, "Ai, I thought I’d chosen a good starting identity, but I wasn’t smart enough to outplay those calculating Indigenous People. Now my post is gone, I’m deeply poisoned, riddled with wounds, and being hunted. There’s no escape for
now! Friend, take a piece of advice: never underestimate the Indigenous People, especially the officials in the imperial court. They’re so real treacherous old bastards!"
"Alright."
Wang Yi acknowledged him, but then took out the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, plucked out six of them, and plunged them directly into Yue Zheng’s chest.
"You- what are you doing?"
Yue Zheng was shocked, but his body was too weak to resist.
Wang Yi said, "You seem like a decent guy. I’ll take the Gold Coins. There’s not much else I can do for you, but I can at least treat your wounds and neutralize the poison."
"Friend, are you... performing acupuncture?"
Yue Zheng stared at Wang Yi with a look of utter confusion, but in the next mont, his body began to tremble. He foad at the mouth, his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.
