With the flintlock's enhancements, its power and rate of fire have been comprehensively upgraded.A tree as thick as a thigh can now be severed in just two shots. If that were a person, there wouldn't even be a chance for rescue. Yang Yi fires continuously, felling a tree roughly every five seconds. The efficiency is insane. For the banana trees, however, he uses the Serpent's Tooth, as a gunshot could damage the Fire Bananas. These trees yield little wood anyway, only 3 to 4 units each, likely due to their high water content. Other trees yield between 10 to 15 units, with the thigh-thick ones providing a solid 20.He works without rest for four hours, logging and gathering bananas until a third of the island's trees are down. He spends the next two hours hauling over four hundred of them back to the coast. It's exhausting work. The rest of the trees can wait; it's not like they can run away.Back on the Nyxstar, the grappling hook lifts the logs into the hold, converting them into 4789 units of wood. At 30 coins a unit, that's a potential haul of nearly 150,000 coins. He moves the ship 500 meters offshore and activates the twilight curtain. He won't be logging at night; his stamina is down to 40 and he needs to rest. Even though his stats would increase after dark, he refuses to reverse his sleep schedule. That's a werewolf's habit, not his.Now, it's time to sell.In his cabin, he opens the chat channel. The market has shifted. The price of wood has dropped slightly to 28 coins per unit. "A pity," he thinks, and immediately starts posting."Massive amount of wood for sale, 28 coins per unit, no haggling, first come first served!""Massive? How much you got?""Did you find an island?""You're not Big Boss One-Eye, are you?"He knew they'd figure it out. He ignores the speculation and sells, quickly moving over two thousand units in small batches of one or two hundred. Suddenly, he gets a private message from an old acquaintance: Yu Dawei, leader of the Iron Brotherhood."Brother Yang, are you One-Eye?""I am," Yang Yi replies."I knew I wasn't wrong about you! Listen, my wood supplies are critical. The fight with those Ice-nest Worms drained us. We need at least 8000 units to get out. Let's round it up, sell me 10,000."Yang Yi is dumbfounded. He never expected someone to ask for ten thousand units right off the bat. With his ship's current capacity, he'd probably have to deliver it in two batches."Uhh, I don't have enough in stock. I'll need to log more tomorrow to get that amount for you.""Deal!"Though Yu ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) Dawei didn't ask for a discount, Yang Yi proactively drops the price to 25 coins per unit, and they agree to trade the next day.The 4789 units sell out quickly. Yang Yi even sells the 536 units he had in reserve. His total income for the night is 149,100 coins. Added to his previous 50,000, his balance is now a staggering 199,100.Another message arrives. It's Shen Guanquan."Are you One-Eye?" Shen doesn't know Yang Yi is the captain of the Nyxstar, but he recognizes his ID from previous trades.Yang Yi thinks for a second. The whole point of an alias is to hide his real identity; creating another alias to hide the first one would be a nesting doll of nonsense."Yes," he replies simply."Can you tell me how you cleared the Extreme Winter Region? I can pay.""No.""Alright. Let's cooperate more in the future," Shen says, not pressing the issue."Can your Farmer ship plant anything?" Yang Yi asks."Most things. Why, you have special seeds?"Yang Yi sends over the info for the Fire Bananas. He'd rather sell the seeds to Shen and buy the fruit from him later."This fruit is a special Level 3 crop," Shen replies after a few minutes. "The Farmer is only Level 3, so it can only speed up growth by 200%. If you're willing to sell, I can offer 10,000 Conch Coins.""What if I want to buy the fruit from you on the cheap later?""Give them to me for free, and I'll provide you with the fruit at cost price in the future. But you can't resell it and crash the market.""No problem. Deal," Yang Yi agrees, not worried Shen would break the deal. The small profit isn't worth losing a good partner for either of them."By the way, do you have any other special crops?""Just one type. Vitality Coconuts."Shen sends over the item information."Uhh…"
