Chapter 221 Haijia’s InvitationThe server merger is imminent, and even if the players' hearts are turbulent, there will always be a calm sea. Ginger Island annexed three of the bottom-ranked islands in one week. This speed of annexation ranks first together with the Shenhai Island, which has been expanding rapidly. However, the subsequent annexations were relatively peaceful. After the island owners realized that resistance was pointless, they took the initiative to contact Jiang Lai and carried out peaceful annexation. Peaceful annexation is a recent term. In other words, if the annexed islands voluntarily give up resistance, the annexing party can save a lot of supplies. In exchange, the annexing party must also give certain compensation to the owner of the annexed island depending on the circumstances. It is usually part of the infrastructure material reward received by the annexing party after the island is annexed. Among the top ten maximum-level players, only Cen Xi from Shenhai Island and Li Haibo from Pirate Island disagreed with peaceful annexation and still adopted the method of violent annexation. Other full-level players are still willing to give the players on the annexed island a way out.
Jiang Lai also thinks that peaceful annexation is a good method. When it comes to annexation, she cares more about the increased land area of Ginger Island and the increased population it can accommodate. That little bit of extra basic material didn't matter to her. But Jiang Lai's kindness is limited. There were also players whose islands were annexed by her who negotiated with Jiang Lai, wanting to join Ginger Island and become islanders of Ginger Island. Rejected by Jiang Lai. People’s hearts are complicated, and Jiang Lai doesn’t want to raise a tiger to cause trouble. As the annexation proceeded more skillfully and smoothly, life on Ginger Island once again became orderly. Jiang Lai also had time to sit on the observation deck at the edge of the island, basking in the sun, drinking a beverage, and looking towards the sea with a relaxed mind and body. Jiang Lai specifically asked Carl to build this observation deck. Carl didn't understand at first, thinking that this place was useless and a waste of space and materials. But Jiang Lai just said to him calmly, "If you want to make life better, you need to have more useless but happy things." In this boundless ocean, it is also very important to keep your body and mind healthy. In addition to the server merging issue that all players are worried about, Jiang Lai obviously has more concerns. The Mother Goddess mentioned by Haijia before, and the perfect civilization that the Mother Goddess wanted to build, were always on Jiang Lai's mind. Even though her Ginger Island was developing better and better, Jiang Lai had no confidence or idea about perfect civilization. How do we do this? Are there any other ways to break the deadlock? The calm sea surface was sparkling and beautiful beyond words, but it could not give Jiang Lai an answer. Xiaokui loves to bask in the sun the most. Since the observation deck was built, this has almost become its most frequent place of residence.
At this moment, as if sensing Jiang Lai's emotions, Xiao Kui gently patted Jiang Lai's arm with a leaf. "Don't worry, I'm fine." Jiang Lai curled his lips and smiled, then stretched out his hand to play with Xiao Kui. While looking at the coast in the distance, where the white snake was training the sea beast team. Little Sponge and Little Green were making trouble on the side and were hit by the White Snake's tail and screamed. Although there is no answer to everything yet, she is moving forward step by step. As long as he keeps moving forward, Jiang Lai believes that there will always be a turning point ahead. While Jiang Lai was sunbathing, two huge figures slowly emerged from the sea, one larger one was light pink, and the other smaller one was golden yellow. Little Weiba and Xiaojin who went out to play are back. Since being entrusted to Jiang Lai, Xiao Jin has been following Xiao Wei all the time. They are brothers from the same mother. After just a few days of getting along, Xiao Jin completely worshipped Little Tail and surpassed Little Sponge to become Little Tail's most loyal brother. Because Xiao Jin is very strong and has a certain ability to protect himself in the ocean, Little Weiba is more willing to take Xiao Jin to the sea to play and ignore Little Sponge for the time being. The angry little Sponge ran to Jiang Lai and said bad things about Xiao Jin many times, but to no avail. In the end, he could only find Xiao Lu to be his playmate. After the little fish came ashore, it headed straight for the observation deck. "Master, Master, Master..." From a distance, Jiang Lai heard Xiaowei calling him again. "Get smaller, get smaller, get smaller!" Jiang Lai shouted as he looked at the huge monster running towards him. Although Jiang Lai insisted on practicing Guiyuan Jinduan every day, and his body became stronger, he could not bear the loving hug of Xiaoweiba's huge body. Of course, the little tail also knows his own physique and the physique of his master. Without Jiang Lai's reminder, every time he came in front of Jiang Lai, he would take the initiative to shrink himself to about one meter in length. "Master, I just took Xiao Jin to play with Hai Bao. Hai Bao invited us to attend his coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow!" Haibao seldom comes to Ginger Island recently, but Little Weiba often goes to the sea to play with Haibao at his home. After all, they are a wealthy family and he can get some sea marrow to eat when he has nothing to do. Le's little tail goes there more and more frequently. Jiang Lai would also put some of Haibao’s favorite fruit snacks in the little tail and tell it to reciprocate when making friends. "I won't go to the coming-of-age ceremony. You can take Little Jin and Little Sponge with you. Oh, and take Little Green with you, too. He loves to join in the fun." Jiang Lai said with a smile, already thinking about what birthday gift to prepare for Haibao. Now that she has Ginger Island, everything is back on track and she has a lot of free time.
But Jiang Lai also had to stay on the island and could not go wherever he wanted like before. The greater the responsibility, the less freedom. "No, no, Haibao's mother said that you must go tomorrow." The little tail leaned in front of Jiang Lai and wrapped its tail around Jiang Lai's calves, acting coquettishly. "I must go? Did Haibao's mother tell you so herself?" Jiang Lai was a little confused. Since the last time, she and Haijia had no contact. Could it be that he wanted to ask himself whether he had any new understanding of perfect civilization? Jiang Lai scratched his head, feeling a little guilty, like a student who was about to be called to the office by the head teacher for not finishing his homework. "Master, just go ahead. You haven't seen Haibao for a long time. Haibao said he missed you." The little tail rubbed Jiang Lai's calf with the tip of the tail. It would never tell its owner that it was trying so hard to persuade him because Haibao's mother gave it five pieces of sea marrow as a reward. Xiao Jin on the side was also looking at Jiang Lai eagerly. As the little follower of the little tail, it also got two pieces of sea marrow. "Okay, let's go together tomorrow." Without hesitating for too long, Jiang Lai made a decision. As the sea creatures are the most special group in this ocean game, Jiang Lai needs to have more contact with them if she wants to find the answers she wants.
