"Why is the genius back? Wasn't he supposed to return yesterday?" As soon as Li Yunfei stepped through the door, Hu Shuyi immediately inquired.
Li Yunfei's business trips often resulted in him returning a day or two late. However, this time he was late and unreachable by phone, which made everyone a bit anxious.
"I got a call from Xiao Tian; we went fishing at sea for the whole day and only returned at noon!" He said, dropping the pile of gear he had brought back from Sanya into the study. Hu Shuyi followed closely behind him.
Recently, Hu Shuyi had been mentioning Shi Tian quite a bit. Since returning from Xishuangbanna, their conversations had expanded from just Pingtou Ge and Li Ziyu to include a third topic.
Li Yunfei had gone fishing with Shi Tian without inviting her, which left Hu Shuyi feeling a bit sour.
"Come on, tell me what you two talked about!" While helping Li Yunfei put away two bags, Hu Shuyi turned around to pour a glass of water and brought it to him.
"We mostly talked about fishing; we didn't really get a chance to discuss anything else. But unexpectedly, I ran into Shi Chui on Xiao Tian's boat, which caught me off guard. This is all Li Ping's fault; he should have given me a heads-up." After taking a sip of water, Li Yunfei began to scold Li Ping.
Shi Chui's unexpected appearance had thrown Li Yunfei's plans into disarray. Playing mind games with Shi Tian in front of her father would be quite embarrassing.
"Did you see Xiao Yu?" After discussing Shi Chui, Hu Shuyi thought for a moment and asked.
"If I saw her, it would be easier to handle. Just drag Xiao Yu along for a meal together, and this would all blow over. But Xiao Yu is off with Yun Wan'er in Shandong to see the snow. I could only treat Shi Chui to a meal before leaving; the next time we meet will probably be awkward!"
"Why did you buy milk tea? Were you thinking of finding Li Ziyu?" But when he asked Xiao Fei, he found out that Li Ziyu was also out seeing the snow. This left Li Yunfei feeling utterly frustrated.
If this matter involved Li Ziyu, he wouldn't be able to show his face. He could only have dinner with Shi Chui and try to keep Shi Tianyi at bay; otherwise, hearing him call him 'Feige' would drive him crazy.
"And then? You just ran back?" Listening to Li Yunfei's series of misadventures, Hu Shuyi couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy.
He was let down by his son and then stood up by his daughter. Just when he finally caught a fish, the hook got pulled! It seemed like nothing was going right for Li Yunfei on this trip to Sanya!
Hu Shuyi felt somewhat relieved that Li Yunfei hadn't taken her along; otherwise, it would have been incredibly awkward!
"I ordered a rod from Xiao Tian's shop and had Xiao Yu pick it up; let's not mention that again!"
Shaking his head helplessly, Li Yunfei said, "I caught a big fish and had it sent back. Prepare for the next couple of days because when the fish arrives, I'm inviting some people over for dinner!"
It would be a shame not to invite people to taste the big fish he caught himself; this time he planned to invite those who actually knew how to fish.
He needed to think back on who had treated him to fish before; he couldn't leave anyone out. He'd have to make a list and call each one individually.
"You start cooking; I'll make a list. Once I'm done, we can eat and chat!" With that said, Li Yunfei turned and dove into the study, closing the door behind him—he felt like he might lose a few more hairs!
After finishing some crayfish and returning home, he slipped into his room and locked the door.
Just now there was a notification from Rogue Software: Points accumulated were enough to unlock the Gongzi Menu.
Crawling into bed, I opened the menu, and the words "Dong Lingxi" flashed by before I accessed the last menu. The "Gongzi Menu" was undoubtedly industrial. However, the free lunch was gone; everything in the "Gongzi Menu" came at a cost. No, it wasn't just a cost—it required Points, and they were exorbitantly priced!
But why was the entire "Gongzi Menu" filled with Fishing Gear? A roll of fishing line cost a thousand Wan Ji points. Was this for real?
All Points were interchangeable with the "Gongzi Menu," otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to light up that roll of fishing line with just the Points from the Fishing Menu.
I hesitated for a long time, my hand trembling as I clicked on the fishing line, which was further divided into several categories. There were lines, nylon lines, Carbon Lines, and Nylon Lines—all priced at ten million each.
I clicked on the line again, and an introduction popped up: it was a complete set of production processes and equipment Blueprints for fishing lines, which corresponded to the "Gongzi Menu." But what use did I have for this technology? Wasn't it better to have a large Fishing Box or a Small Tackle Box for convenience?
As soon as I closed the menu, my phone locked. I was worried that if I accidentally clicked wrong, a thousand Wan Ji points would just vanish like that.
A thousand Wan Ji points could accomplish many things; not only could they be used to craft various Rods, but they could also build boats. The Fishing Menu kept accumulating Points, and good items were being unlocked one after another.
Before this trip out to sea, I had checked and found that the Mini Air Force had unlocked such a large Fishing Yacht for only four hundred Wan Ji points. If I saved up to ten million in the Fishing Menu, I could probably get a sixty-foot Fishing Yacht.
I wondered if it was possible to build a Fishing Yacht as big as the Air Force; if it could be done, it might only take two or three thousand Wan Ji points!
For now, I decided to set aside thoughts of the "Gongzi Menu," as there was no point in dwelling on it.
In reality, even with Blueprints in hand, going from certification to experimentation and then to setting up factories and production lines took time; by the time products came out, you wouldn't even want to think about it without several tens of millions in investment.
If you wanted to quickly produce products through multiple channels, investments would multiply several times over—sometimes even by ten—leading to costs in the hundreds of millions.
