"Call me Master Gou," Master Gou said.
Mo Qiong maintained his smile and said, "My superiors said that I have a lot of things that I haven't claimed, like this island. I'm thinking about which one is bigger."
"Pick whatever you want. Why would a newbie need such a big piece of land? It's so tiring to farm, "Master Gou said.
"It's not tiring at all. You can never have too much land. This is the only chance to be a member for free. I have to pick a bigger one," Mo Qiong said.
Master Gou saw Mo Qiong looking back and forth as if he was trying to figure out the size of the island.
"You won't be able to tell which one is bigger even if you're dead!"
"I heard that you're a Gamma-level member. You're a senior in the club. Help me figure it out," Mo Qiong said.
"You know that I'm a senior, but you're still not greeting me?" Master Gou laughed.
Mo Qiong smirked and said, "You don't have to rely on your seniority to gain respect. If you don't know how to do it, I'll pick one myself."
"Oh? You're quite realistic. You won't give in until you see something good, right? "Master Gou laughed and picked up a crystal ball.
"Small! Too small! "
Master Gou tossed the crystal ball back and picked up another one to give it a shake.
"Small!"
Every time he picked up a crystal ball, he only needed to shake it and it was too small.
"Small! This one is too small. Tsk, this one is even smaller. Hmm, this one is okay. Still small … "
"Brother, is there no good stuff in the headquarters? None of them are sixty square kilometers. "
Master Gou complained to the receptionist. The receptionist's mouth twitched and said, "Master Gou, sixty square kilometers is rare. It's not always available. Let me tell you the truth. The biggest one is fifty square kilometers. "
"Really?" Master Gou turned to Mo Qiong and said, "What do you say? How about fifty square kilometers? "
Mo Qiong calculated. A fifty square kilometer island was already very big. Macau was only thirty square kilometers.
The club only took out nine hundred thousand square kilometers of land and divided it into many islands. Not all of them were given to the members. The bigger ones were used to build bases or for other purposes.
Only the ones that were sixty square kilometers and below could be given to the members.
Most of the members were given between five and twenty square kilometers. thirty square kilometers and above was considered lucky. Gou. Forty square kilometers and above were picked by the senior members.
The fact that Master Gou could help him pick a piece of land that was 50 square kilometers in size was already one of the best.
If he wanted bigger ones in the future, he could spend some storage points to find them himself. Mo Qiong wasn't familiar with the selection process this time, but if he knew the selection process, it wouldn't be too late to pick them next time.
"It's enough. Too much would be a waste." Mo Qiong said.
"Alright then." Master Gou picked up the crystal balls one by one, weighed them in his hand, and put them back. He did this repeatedly, as if he could estimate the size of each crystal ball with just a toss.
Mo Qiong followed behind and observed silently. Could it be that the weight was different?
But that wasn't the case. He also tried to weigh them and found that the weight of each crystal ball was the same. There was no difference.
"Eh? Wait a minute? "Mo Qiong suddenly noticed the difference.
He discovered that if he violently rotated the crystal ball, the seawater inside would stir up waves.
Of course, the waves were not obvious. From the outside, it looked like some seawater had flooded the edge of the island, and then quickly receded.
However, if one knew how big the waves would be, one could deduce how big the island was.
Or compare two crystal balls, under the same shaking force, the extent of being submerged by the seawater.
The greater the extent of the waves, the smaller the island.
After figuring this out, Mo Qiong thought to himself that this method was really simple. To put it bluntly, it was worthless.
However, he didn't expect that shaking the crystal ball would cause waves inside. After all, Waveshift had told him that outside the seawater, the inside and outside were two different worlds. They wouldn't be connected.
However, from the looks of it now, it was just that the matter outside couldn't enter, and the matter inside couldn't come out.
The inner wall of the crystal ball itself could exert force on the seawater inside.
When he rotated the crystal ball outside, it was equivalent to the 'world barrier' inside shaking. Naturally, it would cause the dragons and snakes inside to rise.
"This one should be very big, right?" Mo Qiong watched from behind as Master Gou tried one by one. Soon, he also saw that the extent of the waves in one of the crystal balls was very small.
"Yes, this one is about 45. Why? You can tell? "Master Gou smiled.
He was an old member, so he naturally had his own island long ago. He already knew how big his island was. Then, combined with his observation experience of waves caused by external shaking, it was very easy for him to estimate the size of the island in these crystal balls.
Mo Qiong nodded with a smile and said, "Although I can't calculate the exact size, I can find the biggest one by comparing the two."
Master Gou laughed and said, "Sure, your observation skills are just so-so. You choose yourself. I'll smoke outside and wait for you."
With that said, he lit another cigarette and went out.
Mo Qiong found the trick and quickly picked the one with the biggest island.
It was shaped like an hourglass. It was narrower in the middle, but it didn't mean that the area was small. Instead, it meant that there was a large area of shallow sea, and the white sand at the bottom of the sea could be seen.
"Mo Qiong, this island of yours has an area of 54 square kilometers. Maybe you're not familiar with how to use it. Let me give you a simple explanation. The things inside all come from the Void Continent. Whether it's the seawater or the grass and trees on it, you can't bring them outside. Even if you put it in the seawater, you can only put the things outside in and take the things outside out again.
"Of course, the things planted inside can be taken out. This is also the only way to bring out the trace elements inside. That is to use your life to absorb them, fuse them into one, and then bring them out.
"If you can digest this island in your stomach, then you can bring the things on this island to Earth."
Mo Qiong nodded. He was still thinking that if this thing was placed in the sea, the seawater would make it bumpy. Wouldn't it stir up tsunamis every day?
Therefore, he could only put it in a calm water tank. However, there was so much seawater inside. What if it all rushed out?
It turned out that the things that belonged to the crystal ball couldn't come out.
Mo Qiong brought his Void Island and walked out happily. He saw that Master Gou had finished smoking two cigarettes.
"You're done? Let's go. Your island is bare. Let's hand it over to the General Affairs Department for construction, "Master Gou said.
Mo Qiong followed him and soon arrived at a work area of the General Affairs Department.
The General Affairs Department managed a large number of external workers. They provided logistics for the shelter, production for the finance department, and services for the club members.
They could build a large reservoir for the island, build residential gardens, build roads and ports, and even plant trees.
"Generally speaking, it's not good for a newcomer to take such a big island. You can't afford it," Master Gou said.
"What? Aren't they helping me build it for free? "Mo Qiong said, stunned.
"Dream on. The club will give you an island, but building it is your own business. You'll pay the money you need and pay the points you need. Of course, we can help you build it first, but you'll have to use your island's production to pay off the debt until you pay it off. In other words, you'll have a long period of voluntary farming, "Master Gou said with a smile.
Mo Qiong shook his head and said, "It takes half a year to plant Alchemy Wood. I don't have much capital now, so I can't plant it on a large scale. I don't know how many years it will take to pay it off. Forget it."
"I have some savings. I'll just build it a little. I'll settle the fresh water, housing, warehouse, and port. We'll talk about the rest later."
Master Gou smiled and said, "You can't hire outsiders to build Void Island. You can only use your own people. As external workers, their labor costs are very high. Even if you do a simple job, you'll need at least 10 million. "
"No problem … I have that!" Mo Qiong had 20 million. He could afford half of it.
"Other than that, the cost of planting Derivatives isn't just the seeds. You'll also need to buy all kinds of equipment. It's not cheap. Also, you won't have time to take care of the fields in the future. You'll only be able to do it occasionally. Most of the time, you'll have to entrust the fields to others. Hiring external workers is very expensive. Of course, if you pay with settlement points, it'll be much cheaper, "Master Gou said with a strange smile.
Mo Qiong felt a headache coming on. At first, he thought the society was happy to give him an island, but in reality, a bare island was a gold-swallowing beast.
If he wanted to make a profit from it, he would need to invest a lot in the early stages.
No wonder there were members on the forum who said that they finally managed to plant Alchemy Wood after freeloading in the canteen for half a year.
If he had not earned a lot before joining the society, he would not have been able to afford it.
However, when Mo Qiong saw Master Gou's strange smile, he had an idea.
"Senior, labor costs can't be that expensive, right? You must have a way, right? "Mo Qiong asked.
"Yes, of course. There's a very cheap one, and it'll be done once and for all. They'll work for you for half your life," Master Gou said with a smile.
"What? There's such a thing? "Mo Qiong said in shock.
"Uh-huh …" Master Gou looked at the sky.
"Tsk, it must be a lie. Do half a lifetime of work with a buyout? How can there be such a thing in modern society? "Mo Qiong said deliberately.
Master Gou smiled and said, "Hey, I have a bad temper. Don't provoke me. It's useless even if I tell you, because you won't be able to get it. It requires a Gamma-level medal as a guarantee. It's useless no matter how many points you have. It's not something you can buy with points. "
"Senior, please tell me. What is it?" Mo Qiong asked curiously.
"Transmigrator."
"Ah? Even transmigrators can get it? "
