Chapter 54

Xu Hang said he was about to leave, but suddenly seemed to think of something and turned back to ask:

"Are you really thinking about getting a bigger boat?"

"What good would it do me to lie to you?"

"Then wait for my news."

After saying that, Xu Hang turned and left.

Ye Yuan watched Xu Hang's back and thought to himself,

"Wait for what news? Could you even give me a fishing boat?"

Thinking about this, Ye Yuan suddenly froze. The navy had its own military shipyard. If that were true, he would be incredibly lucky. A military-grade fishing boat would be amazing.

...

There were only three days left until the start of the fishing moratorium, and Ye Yuan would not go out to sea anymore. The crew had already cleaned the fishing boat and docked it at the pier.

Over these few days, Ye Yuan gradually released the seedlings he had cultivated in his space into the fish farm.

These seedlings were from rare fish that Ye Yuan had discovered while out at sea, and they were raised in his space.

It had to be said that the fish in the space fish farm grew much faster than those outside.

Ye Yuan got up very early today.

Li Hui, following Ye Yuan's instructions, had cleaned out a warehouse on the island.

Arriving at the warehouse, Ding Yi and a few crew members were outside, and Ye Yuan walked in alone.

He opened the system mall and searched for an item he had wanted to exchange for a long time.

Product Description: Feed production line, 30,000 points, can process feed for different marine organisms.

Product Function: Can accelerate the growth rate of fish.

After looking for a long time, Ye Yuan still couldn't figure out the principle of this production line. The description said that as long as corn and some water were put into the production line, it could produce premium feed. This was very high-tech and incredible.

The core of this production line was a sealed box. As long as the materials were ground into powder and passed through this area, they would turn into feed. However, the manual specifically noted that this part was non-removable and would be damaged if disassembled.

Not thinking about it anymore, since he wasn't an engineer, he decided to exchange for it first.

He switched to the points mall.

"Exchange for the feed production line."

"Exchanging for the feed production line requires 30,000 points. Do you want to exchange?"

"Yes."

Host: Ye Yuan

Points: 38,300/100,000

Title: Intern Fisherman (Water creature affinity +11)

Fish Farm Space (Beginner): Accelerates the growth rate of creatures in the fish farm, can change the appearance of creatures through point exchange.

Points Mall (Intermediate): Can use points to exchange for items in the mall. Currently, the following items can be exchanged...

Lucky Wheel: Can use points to exchange.

Current free spins: 0 times.

A highly modern production line appeared out of nowhere in the warehouse.

Ye Yuan put the corn and some auxiliary materials he had prepared into it.

During the mixing process, he added water from the space lake. The production line started up, and in less than half an hour, all the materials were consumed, and bags of premium fish feed were already packaged and ready.

The only part of the production line that required human operation was the control panel, which was just a touch screen with simple options. There were no complicated buttons as he had imagined.

The feed production line could process three levels of feed: 1x, 2x, and 3x.

For 3x, the raw materials were the same, but the amount of finished feed produced was much less than 1x.

Ye Yuan decided to have a crew member in charge of this, alternating between the three types of feed. The 3x feed would not be sold externally but would be used only for his fish farm.

The 2x feed would be packaged as a premium product "Fish Bay 2" and sold alongside the 1x "Fish Bay 1."

He believed that once this feed was on the market, it would definitely bring him huge benefits.

After doing all this, Ye Yuan handed it over to the crew member and left the warehouse.

Li Hui was also standing outside the door. Originally, Li Hui had planned to go in, but he was stopped by Ding Yi and others. After observing for a few days, Li Hui knew that Ye Yuan's crew only listened to Ye Yuan and ignored instructions from others.

Seeing Li Hui there, Ye Yuan directly took him into the warehouse. When Li Hui saw the highly modern production line, he was also amazed.

After learning that the feed produced here had a super-advanced effect, he understood why Ding Yi and the others had not let him in.

"Don't overthink it. I got this through connections. I won't tell anyone the core technology, and I'll only have the crew operate it. You'll be in charge of sales."

Ye Yuan reassured Li Hui.

Li Hui hesitated and said, "Okay, no problem. But should we apply for a patent for the formula? You know, there are a lot of knock-offs these days."

"No need. Let anyone who can copy it do so. I mainly supply my fish farm, and any excess is sold externally. If someone can really copy it, we'll just use it for ourselves."

Ye Yuan said indifferently.

In the end, Li Hui could only follow Ye Yuan's advice and started preparing to register the processing plant and obtain the necessary production permits.

Just as Li Hui was about to leave, Ye Yuan called him back.

"Wait, why haven't Uncle and Aunt come over yet? It's been so many days. Didn't you say they would stay here for a while? Why haven't they been discharged from the hospital?"

Ye Yuan asked Li Hui, puzzled.

Li Hui awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

"I didn't feel comfortable asking them to come since there are no outsiders on the island."

"What nonsense. Uncle and Aunt are not outsiders. You, go to the county to handle the procedures today and bring them over on the way. Got it?"

Ye Yuan asked Li Hui to make sure he was serious.

"Okay, I got it," Li Hui said and turned to leave without another word.

Over this period, Li Hui had done a lot for the island, and Ye Yuan had seen it all.

Ye Yuan deliberately didn't mention Li Hui's salary to see what he would do. Now it seemed that Li Hui was trustworthy.

In the evening, Li Hui's parents arrived on the island. The resort was already habitable, so they were arranged to stay there. Ye Yuan's parents, knowing that Li Hui's family was on the island, specially prepared a big table of dishes to entertain them.

At this time, Ye Yuan also told them about Li Hui's salary. Li Hui had been on the island for a month, and Ye Yuan had not mentioned his salary.

He provisionally set Li Hui's monthly salary at 10,000 yuan, with a bonus each quarter based on the profitability of the fish farm. The last time the abalone sold well, Li Hui's packaging had contributed, so Ye Yuan decided to give him a 100,000 yuan bonus.

However, this 100,000 yuan bonus would be deducted from the money Li Hui owed Ye Yuan.

When Li Hui's father was hospitalized, Ye Yuan had prepaid 200,000 yuan for medical expenses. Although surgery was not needed, Ye Yuan did not ask for the money back but had Li Hui use it to repay his relatives who had lent him money.

This meant that Li Hui still owed Ye Yuan 100,000 yuan. Ye Yuan patted Li Hui's shoulder, "Don't think too much. Work hard, and I guarantee you'll pay me back in half a year."

Li Hui's family was very grateful to Ye Yuan. After the meal, because Li Hui's father was not fully recovered, they went to rest early.
