Chapter 33 - The Maze of Brocade

Acquired supplies: Single bed manufacturing plan *1,...

...

From the eight supply boxes, seven cornerstones, two manufacturing plans, and the rest were all basic supplies.

Xiao Yi had already made a single bed before, so he didn't even look at the single bed manufacturing plan and directly threw it into the warehouse. Then he picked up the textile machine manufacturing plan curiously...

[The Secret Diagram of Brocade Weaving]: Hardwood *20, Beast sinew *2, Fine iron *10, Bronze *15.

"Mr. Yuan, what does this 'Secret Diagram of Brocade Weaving' refer to?" Xiao Yi asked.

"This is a'silk-making machine'. It's used to turn fibers into silk threads, and then the silk threads are woven into cloth!" Yuan Nong replied, "This is an ancient device. My family once had one, but now it has been replaced by automated technology!"

An Yue laughed and said, "Mr. Yuan, this isn't an antique. Currently, we don't have automated machines!"

Yuan Nong was slightly stunned, then laughed dryly, "Island Master Xiao Yi lives a comfortable life and has forgotten our current situation!"

Xiao Yi nodded and said, "I understand. This machine provides raw materials for the loom. The loom has already been made, and all we lack is the raw materials for the silk threads!"

"No, we also need someone who knows how to operate these two machines!" Jiang Yuntian reminded. After all, these two machines were not automated.

Xiao Yi was taken aback, then said, "Yeah, it's not easy to find someone who knows the ancient methods."

"It's not difficult at all!" An Yue said, "An Ran's mother can do it!"

"Auntie has such skills!" Xiao Yi exclaimed in surprise.

An Yue explained, "Li Yan has been studying textile work since she was a child, and there were these two machines in her family, so she is proficient in it."

Xiao Yi nodded and sighed, "It seems that if we want to have new clothes, we can only ask Auntie for help!"

"I just don't know where Auntie is now and if she's okay!" An Yue said worriedly.

"Auntie will definitely be fine. Don't worry!" Xiao Yi comforted.

At this moment, An Ran and the other woman came back after washing and called everyone, "Come and have dinner!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yi responded and said to everyone, "Let's have dinner first, and we'll discuss it later!"

Everyone put aside their thoughts and returned to the apartment.

Xiao Yi made several cups out of plastic and poured S-level clear spring water for everyone.

"Although it's a small amount, this is S-level clear spring water. Welcome, everyone. Let's work together to make our island the strongest!" Xiao Yi raised his glass and said.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up!

Jiang Yuntian and the others had already drunk the A-level clear spring water given by Xiao Yi and their physical fitness had greatly increased.

Now that the quality of the spring water was even better, they could expect to improve their physical fitness!

Everyone raised their glasses, "Okay!"

They each took a small sip and savored the clear spring water like sweet dew.

"Let's start eating!" Xiao Yi took a grilled pork chop and casually threw it to Wang Cai and said.

Everyone looked at Wang Cai, a bit surprised.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yi asked everyone, and Wang Cai also tilted its head to look at them.

For Xiao Yi, this was nothing unusual. He always prepared a double portion of grilled meat for Wang Cai.

When An Ran was cooking, Xiao Yi had reminded her to prepare two more portions. An Ran initially thought that Xiao Yi's appetite had increased, but she didn't expect it was for Wang Cai.

An Ran smiled bitterly, "Do you know how many people would fight for this pork chop and even be willing to risk their lives for it!"

Xiao Yi understood everyone's surprise and said, "I don't care about their lives. Wang Cai is really capable!"

"Woof! Woof!" Wang Cai barked in agreement.

"Forget it. Can't the pork chop shut your mouth?" Xiao Yi laughed, "Hurry up and eat before it gets cold!"

Everyone shook their heads, lamenting that they were not as good as the dog.

Helplessly, they turned their sighs into an appetite and started to eat heartily!

After everyone had eaten their fill, Xiao Yi said, "I'll assign tasks. Mr. Yuan, you'll be in charge of agricultural planting!"

"No problem!" Yuan Nong patted his chest and assured.

"Brother Jiang, you'll be in charge of security and deal with the sea beast disturbances every day! If there's something you can't solve, call me!" Xiao Yi continued.

Jiang Yuntian nodded. If he hadn't saved Su Wan together with Xiao Yi, he would have been unwilling to hear this.

What did "call me if there's something difficult" mean? Did Xiao Yi think he was not as good as him?

However, seeing Xiao Yi kick Zhou Xuanwu into the sea, Jiang Yuntian knew that he was indeed inferior to Xiao Yi in terms of both strength and speed. "Uncle Yue, you'll be in charge of production planning!" Xiao Yi said.

An Yue nodded, "No problem!"

An Yue had been promoted step by step from the grassroots level to the president of the group, so he was very familiar with this kind of production planning.

It might not be busy at the beginning, but it would definitely be busy later!

"An Ran, Su Wan, you'll be in charge of logistics. Help Mr. Yuan deal with agricultural affairs and breeding, and cook. One of you needs to stay in front of the island monument to collect information beneficial to the development of our island!" Xiao Yi said.

"Yes!" An Ran and Su Wan replied.

"I'll be in charge of the overall situation. Of course, I'll ask for your opinions, but my decision will prevail. Any objections?" Xiao Yi finally asked.

"No objections!" Everyone answered.

"Uncle Xiao Yi, what about me?" Junjun raised his hand and asked softly.

"Oh, I almost forgot about Junjun. You can learn a lot. You can choose freely. You can learn from Mr. Yuan, Uncle Yue, me, or your father!" Xiao Yi smiled.

"Yes!" Junjun saluted and replied.

Everyone laughed.

"An Ran, go to the bedroom later and get a few more bedding sets. We'll make do for the night and sleep on the floor in the apartment!" Xiao Yi said.

"Okay!" An Ran replied, and Su Wan went to get the bedding with her.

The finely decorated apartment had bedding sets for all seasons. Besides the set on the bed, there were several sets in the cabinet.

So there was no need to worry about the shortage of bedding.

"I'll go check the crops in the fields first to work off my meal!" Yuan Nong stood up.

"I'll take a walk around too!" Jiang Yuntian said.

"Brother Jiang, don't go into the forest at night. It's dangerous!" Xiao Yi reminded.

"Okay, I'll just walk around nearby!" Jiang Yuntian replied with a smile.

An Yue said, "I'll go check the messages on the island monument on the yacht!"

He was looking forward to finding news about An Ran's mother, Li Yan. Xiao Yi's island monument was in the bedroom, and it was inconvenient to enter.

Everyone went out for a walk to digest their food. An Ran and Su Wan cleaned up the dishes and swept the living room, then spread the bedding.

Xiao Yi went to the S-level soil flower bed and saw that the coconuts were ripe. He climbed the tree and picked six coconuts and brought them back to the room.

"We'll drill holes later and taste the natural coconut juice. These coconut seeds were provided by Brother Jiang!" Xiao Yi laughed.

"Okay!" Su Wan took the coconuts and walked towards the kitchen.

Half an hour later, everyone came back.

Yuan Nong already had a plan for the farmland. Xiao Yi entrusted it to him completely, ensuring that there would be at least half a year's worth of food reserves on the island.

An Yue didn't find any news about Li Yan.

It was getting late. Jiang Yuntian couldn't see the whole island clearly and just walked around nearby...

When everyone returned to the thatched cottage, Su Wan had already poured out the rare coconut juice and distributed it to everyone to taste.

"This is the fruit from the S-level coconut grove obtained by Brother Jiang, S-level coconut juice!" Xiao Yi explained, "Everyone, drink this cup, and it can improve your physical strength!"

Having just tasted the S-level clear spring water, and now having the S-level coconut juice, everyone couldn't help but wonder if all the food in Xiao Yi's hands was of high quality!

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xiao Yi continued, "There are limitations to food of a certain level. I will try my best to ensure the supply of high-level food, but I can't guarantee that everyone can enjoy it often!"

Yuan Nong shook his head and said, "I have some reservations about this method!"

Everyone looked at Yuan Nong in surprise, not expecting him to refute Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi looked at Yuan Nong and asked, "Then what's your good plan?"

"As everyone knows, high-level food is beneficial to physical fitness. Who on the island needs to strengthen their physique the most?" Yuan Nong raised the question.

Everyone fell into thought.

Yuan Nong didn't wait for a response and continued, "Those who protect the island's peace undoubtedly need to enhance their physical fitness the most! So I propose that high-level food should be given priority to Xiao Yi and Jiang Yuntian. If there's any surplus, it can be distributed to others occasionally!"

An Yue nodded and said, "That's right. Just like at the beginning of the island's development, we can't expand everyone's territory like Xiao Yi's. We should concentrate resources to improve the physical fitness of one or two people. Only by preparing for greater crises in the future can we ensure our safety. Balanced development isn't a wise choice in this matter."

The others nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yi naturally understood what the two of them meant and then said, "Okay. Currently, the highest-level food on the island is S-level. The S-level food is limited to me and Jiang Yuntian, and the rest of you will divide the other supplies equally!"

"Yes, sir!" Everyone responded.

Xiao Yi added, "Regarding the development of the island, among the supplies obtained from fishing in the past few days, plus the cornerstones contributed by everyone for the island, there are a total of fifty-two cornerstones. I intend to continue expanding the island and keep ten cornerstones for emergency use. However, if the island is expanded, the attacks from marine beasts may increase! Please share your opinions."
