Mcgee gave all the extra pieces of gold to Romon.
Then he went back to the manor and began to work.
It had to be said that the current life was really comfortable, and there was basically nothing busy in the manor.
And since there was nothing new, it was still the same old thing, so it was not enough.
The only thing Mcgee was doing was preparing lunch.
And the food for the big eater, the Giant Diving Crocodile.
Because the rest of the journey depended on him.
He had to feed this guy before he could work.
The Giant Diving Crocodile was lying next to Mcgee, drooling.
His eyes were fixed on the grill in front of him.
There were a few pieces of bear meat on the branches.
Actually, he was already craving meat.
Previously, when his companions took so many pieces of meat, he wanted to snatch them away.
But in the end, he held it in.
Until now, seeing Mcgee still roasting the meat, he finally could not hold it in.
“Don’t worry. Anyway, these things are still for you to eat after the exam. So why are you in such a hurry?”
Mcgee looked helplessly at the impatiently Diving Crocodile.
“Actually, I don’t mind if it’s raw.”
The Diving Crocodile said indifferently.
Just like a greedy person, when faced with a room full of money, his mind was empty.
All he could think about was the money in this room.
Finally, in the midst of suffering, the three pieces of bear meat were cooked.
Mcgee sprinkled some of his homemade seasonings on it and threw it directly to the Giant Diving Crocodile.
Then, they proceeded with the food preparation.
Soon, noon arrived, and everyone returned to their homes.
Even the Little Spirit Fox and the others were very punctual beside the bonfire.
It was obvious that they would arrive very punctually every time. After all, no one wanted to miss mealtime and go hungry.
However, the Diving Crocodile patted his stomach and ran to the side to sleep peacefully.
Because after eating more than ten pieces of meat, he finally had a full meal.
Just as Mcgee said, the cooked meat was more delicious than the uncooked meat.
And not just a little bit.
More importantly, he tasted something sweet, salty, and even sour.
This also made the Diving Crocodile’s eyes light up.
This was much better than the bloody pieces of meat he had eaten before.
So he decided to never eat raw food again.
After lunch, he took a short break.
Everyone went back to their posts.
The two pirates also brought back a basket full of fish.
At the same time, they smiled.
They never thought that one day they would go fishing leisurely.
And was it not more comfortable than working?
More importantly, they would fish on the boat to enjoy themselves when they had nothing to do.
But because they were relatively poor at that time, they did not have enough bait.
So they could only pretend.
Now Mcgee put more than 60 pieces of meat on their side.
Let alone fishing. It was enough for them to live for dozens of days.
The prerequisite was to be as frugal as before.
At this time, Romon also sent a message.
He also said that the transaction had been completed, and all the ores had been counted.
“Congratulations on obtaining gold ore x21, iron ore x54, silver ore x42…”
The sound of a system notification rang out. All sorts of ores were continuously piling up in the system space.
Not to mention other ores. Even gold ores had a total of 21 pieces.
If he were to refine them, even if he did not make a profit, he would still make half of it.
Adding in other ores would be enough!
He really did not expect the profits in this aspect to be so huge.
More importantly, it was because he had a Gold-swallowing Beast.
Thinking of this, Mcgee could not stop smiling.
Without any hesitation, he threw all the ores to the Gold-swallowing Beast.
The Gold-swallowing Beast shook its head, and its eyes lit up.
It swallowed the ores one by one, leisurely, not in a hurry at all.
To the Gold-swallowing Beast, this was food, but to other pet beasts, this was just a piece of broken stone. It was not worth anything at all.
Even if they took it, it would be useless.
“After these 21 pieces of gold are refined, you can take five of them. This is your reward.”
After Mcgee left these words, he left.
After hearing the reward, the Gold-swallowing Beast swallowed a few more pieces of ore and began to close its eyes and sleep soundly.
As long as he slept, he would have almost finished refining.
“Finally, a new chapter is about to begin. The waters that were previously impossible to step into are now going to be explored again.”
Mcgee stood at the highest point of the mountain and looked at the distant waters with a yearning gaze.
Speaking of which, if there was anything he could do, he did not want to explore that area of water at all.
However, the water level was still rising.
In just one day, the water level had risen by more than ten centimeters.
At this speed, it would take at most ten days or twenty days to completely submerge the island.
At that time, they would have no choice but to move. Instead of waiting until they had no choice, it would be better for them to take the initiative to explore the outside world.
They could even consider building a house on the surface of the water.
However, this fixed foundation still needed some stronger materials.
Otherwise, it would be a pipe dream.
When Mcgee thought of this, he immediately ran to a place with more soil without hesitation.
Then, he directly ordered the pangolin to dig out a large piece of empty land.
“Decompose.”
“Congratulations on obtaining soil X472.”
That’s right, Mcgee was currently collecting soil. When the island was submerged, and there was no soil, what would his plants do?
It was just that this little bit of soil was not enough, so Mcgee began to do it himself.
After they had been busy for nearly two hours, they finally collected a total of 3,000 pieces of soil.
Originally, they wanted to continue collecting.
But the system notification said.
The same item could only be collected for a maximum of 3,000 pieces, and after that, it would occupy the position of the second item.
Moreover, the system space could store up to 999 different items.
In other words, there were only 999 grids.
Although it was not that much for the time being, after thinking about it, he decided to forget about it.
Anyway, 3,000 sets of soil were enough.
“I’ll make some preparations. I’ll go outside to explore tomorrow.”
