Chapter 01

"This beginning isn't so good."

On a deserted island, Ren looked out at the vast sea with an ironic smile.

He had crossed over.

He had traversed a vast continent of swords and magic. His initial identity was a fallen prince who couldn't fight for the throne and went out to sea.

What's worse is that the ship he was on was destroyed by a tsunami.

When Ren woke up, he had already washed up on the beach of this deserted island.

He knows nothing about this strange world, not even where he is.

For many days, he couldn't see any passing ships.

"Is this going to be a survival scenario on a deserted island?"

Ren said to himself.

Here there is more than one deserted island, but a big one. The scenery of the deserted island is good, but not a single figure can be seen.

Fortunately, there are many coconut trees and Ren also survived on coconuts.

"I have to find a way to get out of here."

Ren thought to himself.

"Where is the famous system?"

Ren couldn't help but mutter to himself.

[ "Dive, the host will be detected and the Ocean Rancher system will be activated" ]

At that moment, a mechanical sound rang out.

"Really?"

He was surprised.

[ "The host has obtained a random beginner's gift package, which is in the process of being distributed.... *Ding* the draw has been completed, congratulations to the host. You have obtained a mermaid island with 1000 gold coins in reserve. Choose a place to put it." ]

At this moment, the mechanical voice sounded again.

"Mermaid Island?"

Ren was a little bewildered.

He looked at an island next to him and said, "Put it there."

As soon as his voice fell, the island next to him began to undergo drastic changes.

That island was undergoing rapid transformation.

In a short time, the island changed drastically.

[ "The transformation of Mermaid Island is complete. The host gains 5 experience and 500 gold coins" ]

The sound of the system rang out again.

Immediately after, there was an extra bag of gold coins in Ren's hand.

One gold coin is 10 grams, 500 gold coins is 10 kilograms, which is not very light.

Ren now has a total of 1,500 gold coins, which is a small fortune.

A line of information appeared on Ren's panel.

[ "Host: Ren (Ocean Rancher)

Owns a ranch: Mermaid Island

Occupation: apprentice level 1 (5/10)

Lives on the Ranch: Mermaids

Item: Gold Coin 1500" ]

Next, Ren also saw the panel for Mermaid Island.

[ "Mermaid Island

Rating: ⭐

Surface area: 80 square kilometers

Number of mermaids: 0

Growth value: 1/day (the mermaid living on the island increases in value every day and their star increase is doubled)." ]

[ "Main mission: Use the gold coins to sound the mermaid horn as soon as possible and attract 100 mermaids to live there.

Mission rewards: 20 experience and 1000 gold coins.

Description: This task is not limited by time and can be received after completion. The host's charm for the mermaids on Mermaid Island will automatically increase by 10 times and reliability will increase by 10 times." ]

The sound of the system rang out again.

"Mermaid horn?"

Ren was curious.

Along the seashore on Mermaid Island, Ren quickly walked towards Mermaid Island.

He arrived at a high place and looked down at the entire Mermaid Island with condescension.

"Beautiful," he murmured.

It was undoubtedly dazzling.

The whole island is like a blooming petal.

Surrounded by a circle of low mountains, these mountains are neither high nor short, and can isolate the island's seawater.

Even if the waves are strong outside, the island can still be calm.

These mountains are full of colorful plants and the inner ring of these mountains is a circle of white sandy beaches.

There are many small houses on the beach, many of which extend into the water and the mermaids can enter their houses directly from the water.

There are many coconut trees on the beach, this ring-shaped beach is even more charming than the beaches of some resorts that Ren has seen before crossing over.

The sea in the middle is crystal clear and the seabed is full of colorful corals and there are many pearls that grow naturally inside.

In the middle, there are some protruding islands, these islands also have exquisite houses for the mermaids to inhabit.

The diameter of the whole island is almost ten kilometers and can accommodate many mermaids.

And in that circle of low mountains, Ren also saw some arrow towers, which were equipped with powerful long-range crossbows, the island also had good defense.

"Then let's try the mermaid horn."

Where Ren is, there is a giant thing like a shell, this is the mermaid horn.

The mermaid horn can only be sounded by a mermaid. There is no mermaid on the island now, but Ren can sound it with gold coins.

"10 gold coins per minute, very expensive."

Although he thought it was expensive, Ren obviously tried it.
