Night fell and the sky was filled with stars.
The moon hung high in the sky and faced the exact opposite direction from the island where Qin Yu was located. It reflected on the calm sea and presented a different scene.
It was as if two small boats were opposing each other and was quite poetic.
The newcomers’ islands were located at the outermost edge of the Sea of Paramita.
However, the distance between the islands was very far.
Every island had a quiet atmosphere that would not be disturbed by others.
“It’s not bad to be able to obtain some growth points. Although it’s not much, it’s better than nothing. Let’s see what’s going to happen tomorrow.”
Qin Yu raised his head to look at the sky. His thoughts were running wild, and he only returned to his senses after a long while.
Then, he took out a compressed biscuit from his storage space and started eating.
These biscuits were specially made. Although they didn’t taste good, they were nutritious and balanced.
Qin Yu opened the holographic projection on his bracelet while eating the compressed biscuits.
He saw many friend requests and group invitations in the chat.
Qin Yu searched for a while and finally entered a group of Island Masters.
“Wow, Qin Yu finally came.”
“Brainiac, you’ve been busy all day, right? Welcome, welcome!”
“Welcome home, Brainiac!”
…
There were all sorts of greetings.
Everyone in this group were Qin Yu’s classmates.
After Qin Yu gave a simple response to his classmates’ warm welcome, he turned off the notifications for the group.
Then, he opened the newcomers’ forum.
There was a lot of news in the newcomers’ forum. Many people shared their achievements and what they had seen.
Qin Yu casually scrolled through the forum. He wasn’t very interested in these things.
Suddenly, he found a post that caught his attention.
It was a bragging post from a rich kid.
This rich kid hired 1,000 workers on the first day.
Some workers were responsible for planting, some were responsible for extracting ingredients, and some were responsible for building defensive structures.
In short, the post was filled with all kinds of bragging.
Moreover, there were many comments below.
“What a nouveau riche! He was able to hire so many workers on the first day. I’m so tired!”
“Comparisons are odious. Indeed, there are many rich players everywhere!”
“Players like us who have no background, no backing, and no money are destined to spend only a month at the Sea of Paramita.”
“If I could employ 1,000 people, I will definitely not be eliminated!”
“Then why don’t you just find 1,000 shareholders?”
“Shareholders? I can consider that~”
…
The comments basically expressed how envious they were.
After all, it was only the first day and he could already hire 1,000 people. This kind of rich kid was truly wealthy!
The Island Masters in the Sea of Paramita had to pay a high salary to hire people from Earth.
After all, other than the Island Masters, everyone’s lifespan would decrease by one day regardless of whether they entered or exited the Sea of Paramita.
It was equivalent to paying one day of their lifespan as a toll.
This decrease was not in terms of their overall lifespan. Instead, their body would simply jump to the state they would be in on the next day.
In other words, they would age a day on the spot.
Of course, their lifespan would also be reduced by a day when they entered the Sea of Paramita.
However, staying in the Sea of Paramita would not reduce one’s lifespan.
Otherwise, no one would dare to come here.
Furthermore, when they left, their lifespan would decrease by another day.
Therefore, a return trip would cost them two days from their lifespan.
Although two days wasn’t a lot, there were still many people who cared.
Hence, if one hired people from Earth to work for them in the Sea of Paramita, their salaries would be especially high.
This was especially so for those who were hired for a short period of time.
“Any rich kid with an innate advantage would be able to get ahead in any world.”
Qin Yu sighed and closed the post.
When he returned to the class group chat, he saw that many students were discussing the post.
“Wow, I’m so envious. He hired over a thousand people on the first day. He’s so rich!”
“Speaking of which, wasn’t there a financial group that was willing to invest a ten-digit sum in Qin Yu?”
“It’s a pity that he didn’t agree to it. Otherwise, he would definitely be the one flaunting his wealth.”
“It’s indeed a pity. Such an opportunity would be great for me.”
“Perhaps the opportunity we are looking for is nothing to Qin Yu…”
“Isn’t there a rich second-generation heir in our school too? I heard that he hired over a hundred people.”
…
Not only were these students discussing that post, they were also discussing Qin Yu.
After all, everyone in the school knew that Qin Yu had rejected the ten-digit investment from the large financial group.
For some reason, Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows.
Then, he looked away and turned off the holographic projection from the bracelet.
After that, he took out a blanket from the storage space and spread it under the Tree of Life.
“Time to sleep!”
The Sea of Paramita was a sea world.
However, the weather here had always been like spring all year round.
Even the sea breeze was very gentle.
Hence, he only needed to cover himself with a thin blanket when he slept at night.
This was Qin Yu’s first night in the Sea of Paramita.
This world was indeed very different.
There was no saltiness in the sea breeze. Instead, it was very fresh, making Qin Yu feel as if he was embracing nature.
“Good night~ Sweet dreams~”
Qin Yu waved at the moon in the sky. Then, he slowly closed his eyes as his consciousness gradually entered a state of sleep.
The night passed uneventfully.
The next morning…
Qin Yu opened his eyes in a daze and was instantly shocked!
After one night, the Tree of Life had grown to a height of 200 meters!!
