Chapter 157 In This Case, Let’s Sell Salt First

Yang Yi controlled the Redeemer Armor to land on the island again.

This time was different. He put on a complete arm armor on his right hand, and his control of the armor was further improved, even with a sense of touch.

As long as he focused, it was almost the same as a real person landing on the island.

After the armor landed on the island, he walked straight to the center of the island.

The further he went, the looser the salt on the ground became. When he was more than a hundred meters away from the coast, the salt under his feet had completely turned into sand and was very loose.

Along the way, the armor did not suffer any attacks.

In contrast, there were no unexpected gains.

There seemed to be nothing on this island except salt.

Even the thing that looked like a bush was actually salt. It would break when touched and turn into salt grains and sprinkle on the ground.

"How to do this?"

Yang Yi was a little helpless.

The armor had already walked to the center of the island, waving the broken iron (fake) to smash the surrounding bushes, revealing the white desert under his feet.

He tried to dig down.

Maybe there was a mystery underneath.

But after digging half a meter deep, he only found salt.

And because the salt particles flow like quicksand, the excavation work could not proceed further.

When the excavation reaches a certain level, the surrounding salt will slide down to fill the hole.

Yang Yi gave up the excavation, controlled the armor to climb out, and continued to wander around the island.

-------------

Three hours later.

Yang Yi controlled the armor, boarded the raft, and returned to the deck of the Nightmare Star.

To prevent the raft from drifting away, there was a rope tied to the raft, which could be connected to the escalator of the Nightmare Star hull to prevent it from drifting away.

After doing all this, Yang Yi opened his eyes, got up and prepared to go to the deck.

But the unexpected discovery stopped him.

Su Na was holding down the big pot under her, most of her body was pressed on it, but something inside was still struggling.

"What's in your pot...?" Yang Yi was a little surprised.

Logically, there shouldn't be other living things on the ship with such great strength.

"It's alive, help me press it."

"It?"

Yang Yi grasped the key words.

It seems that Suna has made some gains.

He walked over and pressed the lid of the pot with his hand. With his weight, the things in the pot could not jump up immediately.

Then Suna hurriedly picked up a large bag of sea salt from the side.

"Salt?"

Suna nodded, "Open the lid, I'll pour the salt in."

Yang Yi did as he was told, and took the lid off the pot while the things in the pot were not paying attention.

I saw several fleshy tentacles stretched out from inside, hit a large amount of sea salt head-on, and withered instantly.

Only then did Yang Yi see clearly what was in the pot.

It was an irregular piece of meat, with several tentacles extending out to try to grab other things.

But just like slugs or leeches, they withered all of a sudden when they encountered sea salt, and their bodies began to wither and dehydrate, and the color became darker.

"What is this...?"

"The soil from before, or the dehydrated tissue of the rotten whale.

I tried to soak it in fresh water, but there was no reaction.

So I tried to soak it in white sea water, and then it came back to life!

After absorbing the white sea water, the soil devoured each other and expanded rapidly. I only had time to throw them into the pot..."

Su Na recounted the previous thrilling scene, and at the same time sprinkled enough salt on the resurrected rotten whale meat until it could no longer rise.

"In other words, this island or this rotten whale is actually still alive?" Yang Yi instantly understood the key point.

"It should be.

After encountering white sea water, this thing will most likely be resurrected!" Su Na affirmed Yang Yi's point of view.

She tested the collected sea salt and soil separately.

Whether it is the sea salt dug from the ground or the sea salt that makes up the salt man, it is essentially no different from other sea salts. Whether it is dissolved or even melted at high temperature, it will not produce any special reaction. It is just ordinary sea salt.

It's the soil. This should be the body tissue that has become brittle like dehydrated vegetables. It is in a state of suspended animation or dormancy and will not be revived until it encounters white sea water.

Suna told Yang Yi about her discovery.

To sum it up in two sentences, it is:

1. There is nothing abnormal about the sea salt. The abnormality should be that island.

2. That island, or the rot whale, is in a state of suspended animation.

Yang Yi nodded.

Suna's discovery made him determined to implement the plan!

Since the island is dangerous and living things may die if they go up, I simply won't go up!

He quickly came to the deck.

Under his control, the redeemer armor opened the chest armor, and the full sea salt inside was spilled out, estimated to be nearly two hundred kilograms.

After walking around the island and still having no harvest, Yang Yi changed his purpose from exploration to selling salt to make money.

No matter what, it can't be a wasted trip!

Since the salt people on the island didn't attack him, they wouldn't mind if he took some of the salt on the island.

Yang Yi checked the current price of sea salt.

The price is 50 conch coins/kg, which is five times higher than before.

If the safe sea area is not still there and sea salt is easy to obtain, the price is estimated to rise.

So the Redeemer Armor made 5,000 conch coins on this trip.

And this is because most of the time was wasted on exploration.

If you only pursue salt mining and find ways to improve the efficiency of salt mining, the speed of making money will be incredibly fast.

For example, if you prepare a trailer for the Redeemer Armor, the efficiency of transporting salt will be greatly improved.

Yang Yi thought of many ways, but in the end he still felt that it was most efficient to use wooden barrels to transport salt by sea, taking advantage of the high buoyancy of the surrounding seawater.

First adjust the Nightmare Star to the appropriate position, then stand on the observation deck and shoot an arrow connected to a rope towards the island.

In this way, a simple zipline was made.

One end was tied to a sturdy mast, and the other end was fixed with some stones to hold down the rope, and the rope was stretched straight.

It doesn't need to bear much weight, anyway, it's just a tool for quickly transferring empty barrels.

After the Redeemer Armor received the empty barrel, it began to dig salt with broken iron (pseudo) to fill it with salt. When it was filled with the right amount, it threw the barrel into the sea and floated over.

This barrel can be recovered with the claw hook on the ship, thereby realizing high-speed collection of salt.

The Redeemer Armor doesn't even need to return to the deck, and the efficiency is terrifying!

So for the next four hours, Yang Yi was digging and selling salt.

Soon, all the salt near the coast was dug up, revealing the dry black soil underneath.

In one afternoon, Yang Yi dug 11 tons of sea salt, which even surprised himself.

It is indeed an armor with unlimited energy, which will not sweat or complain of tiredness.

Efficiency is high!

Yang Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt a little tired.

After all, he played the gold miner for an afternoon, and climbed the mast many times, and his attribute experience increased significantly.

In the process of transporting salt, one or two wooden barrels would occasionally fall over and the salt would spill into the sea.

But it doesn't matter, there are countless salt on the island anyway.

The salt dug out is just a drop in the bucket!

There is no risk of overloading, and the dug salt is sold quickly. Yang Yi earned 550,000 conch coins, and the efficiency of making money is no less than before logging.
