Chapter 4: The Night Is Coming

The grilled fish was really hard to eat. Even though it gave him experience points, Ye Yang only ate a hundred more, before he stopped eating them.

Of course, a part of the reason was that the indigenous people were not happy, and when he ordered for two more, it wasn't given.

That made Ye Yang resentful, very resentful. He killed the fish himself, and they save the hundreds from him?

' They look at me with those eyes when I ate a hundred? What about the hundreds I have given them!? ' The feeling he felt for them was disgust, and it made it uncomfortable to sit with them.

' After I reach the fifth level, I will leave these people ' He made up his mind, and after five level he would leave.

There were indeed some people who were angry, obviously the fish they have hunted, and after being taken away were the private goods of the people.

-------

It had only been a few hours later, and suddenly Ye Yang was awoken by someone patting him on the shoulder.

After opening his eyes, he saw that it was the indigenous boy. The latter secretly took four or five grilled fish and handed it to him without speaking.

" This... " Ye Yang wanted to speak, but the boy banned it, pointing to the other indigenous people who where asleep. Than the boy waved at him, signaling that Ye Yang should eat first. In the blink of an eye, Ye Yang had been touched. The previous anger and resentment had been suddenly swept away.

Ye Yang was a ordinary person in his life, and was easy to satisfy. He was also not a resentful person, however, Ye Yang didn't eat want to eat it. After all, he had eaten a hundred and fifty fish before, and he was sure his stomach would become uncomfortable and wouldn't be able to bear such bad tasting fish.

However, looking at the boy's expression, Ye Yang was sure if he didn't eat, he would think he was angry. Since the language exchange was poorly legible, his only choice was to eat the fish.

After he finished eating, the juvenile indigenous boy smiled happily, and ran back to his area.

-------

The next day, Ye Yang woke up easily. This was the first time he had been sleeping so well, and without any nightmares so ever.

After waking up, he didn't go fishing, but was thinking of a problem instead!

Where to get salt...

If a person does not eat salt in a long time, problems would occur with the body. The most important illnesses were neurasthenia, bad luck, blurry vision, and maybe even unrecoverable vision loss! That was why salt was important to the body and why he wanted to get some, but he knew it would be troublesome to get.

First, you can't run around looking for it randomly, else you would die before finding any. Therefore, it would be currently impossible to find salt mines in this Island with his current strength. If it was a regular forest, you could just kill animals and they would have a good amount of salt, as they need it themselves. Obviously, it was rejected due to him not being in a regular forest/Island.

Sea water could evaporate, leaving salt minerals behind, but it wouldn't be worth it, and other technical problems arise from using that method.

" Could human sweat act as salt? " Ye Yang thought of it for a moment, before rejecting it. Human sweat was too disgusting to drink, and he was certain health problems would arise.

" Animal blood? No " After thinking for an hour, Ye Yang vetoed tge idea with a sigh. In the end, he only had one good idea, and left to go do that by fishing.

At level five, the third privilege would be open, and allow him to purchase items at the shop, including salt. Originally, he needed to become level twenty to unlock the shop, but because of the privilege, the level requirement was only five.

--------

On the beach, Ye Yang doing the usual. After picking up his trousers to make sure they wouldn't get soaked, he went fishing seriously again. The indigenous boy was still following him like a squid, but even the indigenous people also. They were just sitting on the beach not working, and watched as Ye Yang worked.

Obviously, Ye Yang knew he was treated as a free labourer. After all, he wasn't in the group, and Ye Yang's amount was beyond anyone else's. He felt annoyed, and an unpleasant feeling in his heart, but he couldn't stop now and suffer losses.

This was the blame to the people, although they weren't smart, they also weren't fools. They knew that Ye Yang was at a disadvantage, and he couldn't do anything but suffer the losses. The amount of fish would be spread among the people, and they would get their share without having to work!

-------

A bit later, Ye Yang had catched five-hundred more fish, and only needed four-hundred and eighty-five more to level up.

Holding on to his hope, Ye Yang went to the cave along with the other fishers.

--------

Back in the cave, it wasn't long after he was resting, that an elder came in his little cave.

He was talking in their language, and had a few fishes to tell him how it was gonna go.

The elder put ten fishes on the ground, and at pointed one, than back at him toward his stomach. He did it two times, and Ye Yang understood what the elder was meaning to say.

The indigenous people thought that he should catch ten fish himself, and could only eat one while they all ate the others.

' This is a blast, do they think see me as a fool? ' Ye Yang's face showed a calm look as he nodded his head, but his heart was cold. He wasn't a chicken, and he didn't like being taken advantage of by others. In the past few days of staying, it had been fair, but now it had been thrown away by their greedy hearts.

Ye Yang didn't eat on that day, he wasn't hungry, and he wasn't in the mood.

-------

In the middle of the night, the indigenous boy came to him with some grilled fish. But Ye Yang refused, and no matter how much the other wanted him to, he didn't eat. The boy was a bit discomforted, but did not say anything else.

--------

The Next Day!

--------

Ye Yang opened his eyes easily, as he was awake earlier. After the indigenous people checked outside for anything, Ye Yang went out.

Just at dawn, the weather felt cool, and he felt the weather get cooler. When the indigenous came to the beach, they saw Ye Yang seriously fishing.

After seeing the scene, they smiled and sat down somewhere nice, while they began talking to each other while Ye Yang worked.

One! Ten! One-hundred! Three-hundred! Three-hundred! Four-hundred! Four-hundred and thirty! Four-hundred and fifty! Four-hundred and eighty!

Ye Yang was still seriously fishing even as the sky had grown dark, but he didn't care for he had five more to go. But the group of indigenous people had begun yelling at him, in fear of the night.

" Hey! Hey!" " Urala! Urala! "

As time passed, the indigenous people grew even more scared but since they didn't want their free labourer to die, they tried to pull him away.

" Get away from me. " Ye Yang pushed away the indigenous people who had been pulling him, and continued to fish. There was only five more fishes to catch, five more until his level up....

Five-left! Four! Three! Two! One!

Only one fish was left, and all the indigenous people ahead left, including the boy that had always followed him due to it being nighttime.

At night, his vision definitely wasn't the as good as the daytime. With only the moonlight to help him see, Ye Yang's heart was slowly sinking as he concentrated on fishing.

" I see it " Ye Yang lifted his spear/harpoon, and pierced the fish by his feet. But at the same time, an unknown feeling had made Ye Yang horrified.

Sorry for not publishing! I was with family, and we were having a feast in celebration.
