While waiting for a buyer to appear, Guo Li browsed through other people’s online stores. While browsing, he did not forget to continue fishing. After all, every golden carp he caught was worth a ton of money.
Even if he caught an ordinary crucian carp, he would still have a delicious meal that would strengthen his physical attributes. Life was truly wonderful!
Guo Li now had a preliminary plan in his head. As the saying went, food was everything to the people.
As such, he first needed to solve his food supply issue.
At present, excluding the lake in front of him, there were two ways of doing so.
The first was to plant fruit trees.
The second was to cultivate farmland.
Both of the above methods required fertile land. Now that Guo Li had some fertile soil, the next step was to buy seeds and saplings to plant.
The [Rainforest Mall] interface was very convenient, and was basically identical to those online shopping platforms in the real world. As long as one entered the name of the item they wanted to buy in the search box, many online stores that sold matching products would pop up.
After Guo Li keyed in [Seeds] in the search box, many seed stores popped up. Using the sales ranking as a guide, he picked the first online store called [The Complete Collection of Seeds], and tapped to open the store contents.
The store categorized its seeds into several types. The cheapest were [crop seeds] , followed by [flower seeds], and finally [tree saplings].
Although the prices in the seed store were expensive, it was negligible to Guo Li. He had sold a golden carp for 80,000 coins, which was enough to purchase half of the seeds in the store.
After all, Guo Li’s potential earnings were much higher. Compared to these store owners who would have to work hard for each and every coin, a single golden carp was equivalent to several months’ worth of income.
Guo Li naturally would not bother haggling over some seeds that cost dozens of coins.
Guo Li thought for a moment and decided to buy some saplings first. After checking out the store’s selection, he bought ten apple, pear, peach, orange, and cherry saplings.
He then popped over to the crop seed selection and bought five major crops, which were rice, corn, wheat, soybean, and potato.
Once Guo Li had selected all the items he needed, he tapped on the checkout button on the shopping cart page and placed his order.
At this time, a chat box popped up. The owner of the store noticed that a customer had placed an order, so he casually opened the chat box. However, when he saw what the other party had bought, he immediately spat out the tea he was drinking.
“F*ck, it’s a big customer!”
He immediately put down the tea in his hand and typed a polite message, “Hello, dear customer. Welcome to my seed store. How can I help you?”
Guo Li replied, “What’s the expected yield of these seeds and saplings I just bought?”
The store owner quickly responded, “There’s absolutely no problem with the yield. My seed store is the most reliable and practical seed store on the entire [Rainforest Mall]. It’s an absolutely honest establishment that will never cheat its customers…”
Guo Li noticed that the other party was rambling on and typed a short and concise reply, “That’s enough, that’s enough. As long as there’s no problem, it’s fine.”
The store owner continued, “Don’t worry. I serve every customer wholeheartedly.”
Guo Li did not ask any further questions. He chose to fill in his location and then confirmed the order.
The transaction interface of the [Rainforest Mall] allowed the buyer and the seller to verify the other party’s rating. This was to effectively reduce the probability of either party being cheated.
Thus, when Guo Li checked the other party’s rating, he discovered that it had an excellent rating of 98.88. The store was even considered a gold-medal seller in [Rainforest Mall], which meant that it was reliable.
Similarly, the store owner could also view Guo Li’s information.

The moment he did, he spat out the tea he was drinking again, shouting, “F*ck, are all rookies so fierce these days? Spending tens of thousands of coins in one go without even blinking an eyelid.”
He recalled how miserable he had been when he first came to the game world back then. He lingered on the edge of survival for a long time before his situation finally improved.
This rookie had casually spent tens of thousands of coins just like that. This would have been something unthinkable for an experienced player like himself!
The experienced players were not doing overly well now either. Thanks to that fox merchant, they were fleeced left and right.
The delivery service was almost instantaneous. The moment the seller loaded the goods, Guo Li received them instantly.
Guo Li looked at the seeds and saplings in front of him and was eager to give farming a go. He rolled up his sleeves and got to work.
First, he planned out where to place the orchard and farmland on the island. After separating the two, he took out the soil.
1 unit of black fertile soil could accommodate 10 fruit trees. In addition, its properties would accelerate the growth speed of the saplings.
Guo Li himself liked to eat peaches, so he first spread out one unit of the black fertile soil on the ground and planted the peach saplings in it. After watering them, he waited quietly.
Soon, a magical scene appeared in front of Guo Li. The peach saplings started growing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
Ten peach trees had grown from saplings to fully-grown trees just like that. Their foliage was luxuriant, and even bore fruit right there and then. On each peach tree, there were ten peaches.
Since he had ten peach trees, there were a total of 100 peaches. They were delicate, pink and plump-looking, each the size of a fist. Guo Li could even see dew dripping from the fruits.
Guo Li plucked a peach and took a bite. The fragrance of the peach rushed into his nostrils, and the fresh, sweet juice flowed into his mouth. It was so refreshing!
The one bite was simply too satisfying.
Wukong, who was beside him, jumped up anxiously. Guo Li plucked a delicious peach and handed it to Wukong, who ate it in big mouthfuls and gestured toward Guo Li as it ate.
This little monkey had obviously never eaten such delicious fruit before. It was expressing its excitement and happiness to Guo Li.
The man and monkey sat on the ground and ate peaches in big mouthfuls. The juice flowed down their throats, which felt utterly refreshing.
Guo Li ate two peaches before stopping. If his stomach had not been too full from the meal earlier, he probably would have eaten another eight to ten peaches.
“It seems that the effect of this black fertile soil is very good. I have to think of a way to get more.”
Guo Li had tasted the sweetness of the black fertile soil. The magical effect of the black fertile soil was obvious. After planting something in it, it would immediately grow and mature.
In addition, Guo Li was somewhat of a lazy person. He did not like to do farm work, and did not have the patience to wait for the crops and trees to take root and sprout.
Thanks to that, the black fertile soil became one of Guo Li’s main priorities. Once he planted the crops, they would reach maturity instantly and would be ready for harvest. Farm work was tiring after all, and Guo Li was only a lone individual. There was no way he could do it all by himself.
His interest leaned toward fishing. He wanted to enjoy each passing day.
Therefore, Guo Li was determined to get more of this black fertile soil.

After looking at the remaining 29 units of black fertile soil in his inventory, Guo Li took out his phone. At a glance, there were many private messages on the phone screen, to the point that the message inbox tooltip could no longer display any more.
Guo Li quickly opened the messages. The 99+ icon was overwhelming. He opened them and read them one by one.
It turned out that these messages were sent by some high-level players, who were looking for Guo Li to purchase his golden carps.
Guo Li rubbed his chin, feeling inwardly happy.
The golden carp was so popular. Guo Li could already envision his happy life in the future. He could enjoy the sunshine and lounge on the beach every day. He would not need to work or put in any effort. He only needed to fish and relax.
