After browsing through the [World Chat] channel, Guo Li realized how lucky he was.
On the island where Guo Li was located, not only was there fresh water, but also an abundance of trees and vegetation. There was even a lake where he could fish and eat.
There was no lack of resources on the island. The fact that there were ores littering the surface of the ground proved how bountiful the resources on the island were.
As for the vast majority of the people out there, they could barely find any edible weeds, much less large swathes of vegetation. Most of their islands were filled with rocks and inedible objects, causing them to murmur and curse.
Some people could not even find fresh water on their islands. To them, this game world was like hell on Earth.
Guo Li rubbed his chin. He felt a sense of relief and gratitude surge through his heart. He had to take good care of his island.
He wanted to pay off his loan as soon as possible so that he would be debt-free.
There were also some wilderness survival experts and people who had previously played the game ‘Everyone’s Island’ in the [World Chat] channel. They consoled the players who were in tears and despair.
“Everyone, do not be anxious. The islands that we are on are all in the same situation. As long as we survive the initial exploration period, our days will be better.”
“Yes, the islands with difficult conditions definitely contain a lot of ores. As long as you work hard to mine them, you can sell them on the [World Chat] channel in exchange for food and fresh water.”
“Those islands that are rich in flora and fauna will definitely lack ores and some necessary materials.”
“Yes, although my island lacks much, there are still a lot of ores here. It’s just that I don’t have a pickaxe, so I’m digging them out with my hands. It’s very hard.”
“Don’t be discouraged. As long as you work hard, you can definitely get through this. Come on, Ollie!”
“I don’t want to feel discouraged either. It’s just that this situation is really driving me crazy. I haven’t even had a sip of fresh water yet. My mouth is parched.”
“I’m so hungry that my stomach can’t stop growling. I can see the sea in the distance and want to find some food there, but I’m afraid!”
“I’m already feeling dizzy and nauseous. There are sharks near my island. Brothers, what should I do now? I’m not sure how long I can hold on.”
“Don’t panic. Everyone, stay away from the sea area for the time being. It’s not worth risking your life in the sea.”
“I’m going to faint. What can I do without food or drink? I really don’t have the stamina to dig for ores anymore. That damn fox merchant!”
“F*cking fox. Just seeing his name annoys the hell out of me. Screw him and his pointy ears!”
“This weak little girl has already fainted…”
Compared to the other players who were crying like ghosts and howling like wolves, Guo Li’s life was simply too comfortable. He had a mountain, river, and pleasant scenery to boot. He could even eat fish that would increase his physical attributes. His life was far too comfortable.
At this moment, Guo Li suddenly noticed that someone had sent a purchase message in the world channel.
“Purchasing rare fish species. The more the better. Send me a private message with the price.”
Normal communication messages were white.
Trade messages were yellow, and private messages were purple. The other message colors were red, to request help, and black, which were system messages..
These message colors allowed players to identify the messages they needed to see in the constantly refreshed [World Chat] channel.
The yellow trade message sender wanted to purchase all kinds of rare species of fish. Any potential sellers would have to send the buyer a private message with the price.

After Guo Li read the message, he glanced at the golden carp that he had caught earlier.
Since the golden carp looked relatively rare, Guo Li had not roasted it. Instead, he poked a hole in the mouth of the fish and passed a fishing line through the hole and tied a knot. He then put it back inside the lake while securing the other end of the fishing line on the shore. That way, the golden carp would not escape or die from lack of oxygen.
The other party had asked potential sellers to send a private message with the price. Guo Li pondered the matter for a moment. He did not know what the golden carp was worth, and neither did he know whether the golden carp was a rare fish species.
After thinking for a moment, Guo Li decided not to send a private message to the other party for the time being. He would figure it out later when he had more fish species on hand in the future.
The most important thing now was to start fishing quickly. Even with the stone fishing rod and the [Hook, line and sinker] buff, fishing was still a time-consuming process.
The little monkey at the side was gesturing toward the lake, urging Guo Li to hurry up and start fishing. In a while, it too would be able to eat those delicious fishes.
Guo Li noticed the anxious look on the little monkey’s face. He patted its head and said, “Don’t be so anxious. I’ll start fishing now. In the future, you’ll be in charge of collecting materials for me and I’ll be in charge of fishing and cooking. Got it?”
After the little monkey heard this, it screeched a few times to express its agreement.
Little did it know that it had just signed itself up as a free source of labor.
Guo Li thought for a moment. He then patted the little monkey’s head and said, “You don’t have a name yet, right? Why don’t I call you Wukong from now on?”
The little monkey danced with joy when it heard its new name. It performed a few somersaults in front of Guo Li.
Guo Li then gave an order to Wukong.
It had to continue to collect as many branches as possible. After all, Guo Li would need those branches to make tools, maintain the fire, and cook food.
After receiving Guo Li’s order, Wukong screeched several times before running toward the forest in the distance. Soon, it was gone.
Guo Li reached for the stone fishing rod so that he could start fishing.
The more fish he caught, the better. Eating them would increase his physical attributes, and correspondingly increase his ability to survive on this island.
At this moment, just as Guo Li was about to grab the stone fishing rod and show off his skills, a system notification rang out in his mind once again.
[Ding! Congratulations! The host has unlocked Active Skill 2, Big Game Hunter.]
[Note: Big Game Hunter will greatly increase the host’s chance of catching rare species. Don’t be in a hurry to catch those ordinary fishes. There are still many rare species in the lake.]
Guo Li raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Thanks to the stone fishing rod, the second active skill had been unlocked.
It seemed to be a pretty good function too, and would allow him to catch rare species that resided in the lake.
Just earlier, Guo Li had seen someone buying rare species of fish on the [World Chat] channel.
When the time came, selling these rare species to the buyer would probably earn him a lot of money. He’d then be able to use the money to pay off Li Ke’s loan.

On the attribute panel, a third active skill had now appeared, though it was still locked.
Guo Li was excited. It seemed that the system would continue to unlock new functions and abilities whenever he made more tools or fulfilled certain special conditions.
He was looking forward to it. He picked up the stone fishing rod and walked to the edge of the lake. He then found a dry spot and sat down.
Armed with the stone fishing rod and the two skill buffs, he would be able to easily catch fish, and rare species too. It was truly wonderful.
He then hooked up a fat earthworm and started fishing.
