Chapter 447: Chapter 445: The Conditions for Transferring My Island
"Looks like you’ve all been doing well these past few days. Oh, right, I need to ask Jasmine if she has the Flower Dew ready. Otherwise, we’re going to run out."
She immediately called to ask. The Flower Spirit, Jasmine, readily agreed. She could practically be a reseller now; making money just by flipping goods was so much better than working herself to death like before.
That’s why she was so courteous to Faye Yardley.
She said they could trade 20 tons this time and also asked if Faye Yardley needed any premium Flower Dew. The quantity was limited, but the price was, naturally, quite handsome.
A 500-milliliter bottle cost 1 gold coin.
Jasmine didn’t have much of it, only three small bottles to sell. Naturally, Faye Yardley bought them all.
’When someone recommends something good, and money isn’t an issue, you can’t just pass it up.’
After placing the order and paying, all she had to do was wait for the delivery.
"Oh, right. You all have a new little friend. She’s still very small and is in a deep sleep in my room, so don’t disturb her, okay? All right, you can get back to what you were doing. I’m off."
With that, Faye Yardley returned to her room, dashed into the bathroom to shower, and changed into a clean set of clothes. She still had many things from The Frigid World to sort through.
But first, it was time to go down for dinner.
When she came downstairs, Cole Kensington, Eamon, and the others were already there.
"Sister, hurry and eat!" Lucy White beckoned to her, excited now that she could relax.
Eamon asked, "Sister, are you going to Nightfall Citadel again? Can I go with you next time?"
"If there’s a chance, we’ll go together."
"Thank you, Sister! Sister, all the red apricots and special clementines have ripened and been moved to the warehouse."
Faye Yardley smiled. "Thank you for your hard work."
After dinner, they all went their separate ways. Faye Yardley sat cross-legged on her swing chair, tapping at the system’s virtual panel to organize her haul from the trip.
She discovered she had also collected a fair amount of gold and silver jewelry, jade bracelets, and the like. She took out a jade bracelet whose luster immediately marked it as a top-quality piece and slipped it onto her right wrist.
She lifted her hand to admire it. ’Not bad.’
She had tossed all of these onto the living room carpet on Goliath’s second floor.
There were two sandalwood boxes, one large and one small. Faye Yardley simply gripped the lock on the larger one and pulled it right off with a gentle tug.
Inside the large box were two ancient books written in vertical small seal script.
Despite having over a decade of schooling, Faye Yardley had to admit that when faced with small seal script, she was completely illiterate.
The small box contained only a single, simply designed jade pendant. The quality of its jade didn’t even look as good as the bracelet on her wrist.
’So why would something like this need to be buried?’
She examined the jade pendant closely, feeling that it might be some kind of token.
But since someone had gone to the trouble of treating it so seriously, she decided she should store it away carefully. She moved both items into her private inventory.
’After all, it was a "treasure" she had worked hard to dig up.’
Once she had more or less finished putting things away, she checked the trading system for coffee trees. Luckily, there were some for sale.
She bought them and had Willow take them to Eamon for planting.
The coffee machine had been frozen and broken, but Willow said she could repair it. And if Willow said she could, Faye Yardley had no reason to doubt her.
Soon, she’d be able to have coffee whenever she wanted.
Of course, she had some now, having found it in chests she’d opened.
But one was sustainable, which felt completely different.
RING RING RING~
Answering the call, Faye Yardley asked, "Mr. Zephyr Sterling, what’s up?"
Zephyr Sterling was relieved to see she was safe and sound. "It’s good to see you’re okay. Thank you for taking us back and for bringing our home with you. It fulfilled my master’s wish. The system hasn’t assigned any new events lately, so things have been calm. We’ve fished up several chests, and while the contents weren’t anything special, we saved the interesting-looking stuff for you."
"Ah, you really don’t have to do that."
"It’s only right. It’s not like they’re anything special. Don’t worry about it, Yardley."
As he spoke, Zephyr Sterling sent over the Gift.
Faye Yardley accepted it and found that they were indeed some very interesting items, like the chirping-and-quacking lollipop her brother had given her before, and a plush rabbit that would sing and curse.
Unexpectedly, just after she hung up, her brother called.
"Bro, aren’t you busy?"
"No matter how busy I get, I still have to call you every day to see if you’re back. And what do I get? You, you heartless little thing, you don’t even think to call your big bro to let him know you’re safe."
"Haha, I just got back and haven’t had a moment to spare."
Ethan Yardley saw that his sister looked great and had no signs of injury, and his heart finally settled back into his chest.
"Are you going anywhere else soon? Want to come see Kyle’s island?"
Faye Yardley thought about her recent schedule. She was free on the 30th and 31st.
"I’m free for those two days, but I’m busy on the 1st. I have to go to Lumina for a wedding."
"All right, I’ll invite you over to take a look tomorrow. The city is already under construction, but it’ll still be a little while before it’s finished."
Faye Yardley gave him a thumbs-up. "That’s amazing! The amount of basic materials needed must be astronomical, yet you managed to gather it all."
"Mr. Jonas and his people helped out a lot."
"So how large of a population did you agree to take in?"
"At least thirty million. Besides the city, we can also establish towns and villages."
Faye Yardley was genuinely surprised. "Wait, is it really okay to take in that many people at once? And Kyle’s power level hasn’t caught up with the top players yet, has it?"
"Mhm, that’s why he bound his island to our guild. You could say it’s a guild asset now."
"Huh? Islands can actually be transferred? Are there no conditions?"
"There are. But we met the conditions for transfer. These are minor details; we can talk about it more when you come over."
After exchanging a few more words with her brother, she hung up. Faye Yardley fell silent. Perhaps because she’d never considered transferring her island to anyone, she had never paid attention to what was required.
She pulled up the system’s island projection and searched for a while, finally finding the information in the Island Master section.
As it turned out, right behind her Island Master title, the words [Non-transferable, Bloodline Inheritance Only] were brightly displayed.
’Good grief. If I die and there’s no one left who’s related to me by blood, wouldn’t it just become an ownerless island again?’
Her finger landed on the word "bloodline." ’Wow, there’s hidden information.’ It read: Five generations of blood relatives, with priority given to the closest relation.
’What does that mean?’
’Does this mean that relatives who share my bloodline—even an uncle who shares the same grandfather but a different grandmother, or a paternal cousin—are all eligible?’
’In that case, she had to keep this a closely guarded secret. Absolutely no one else could find out.’
’If she could, she’d even want to... clean up... all the relatives who shared her blood but had never been good to her.’
’Stop, stop!’
Faye Yardley stopped herself from continuing down that line of thought.
"I absolutely cannot become an unthinking machine that only knows how to kill, devoid of all emotion."
She solemnly repeated the warning to herself in her mind, then let out a long breath.
