Rowing a simple paddle around the sea, Bi Fang brought the boat back to shore after inspecting its quality.
Then, using a plane, he smoothed out the uneven areas along the boat's gunwale, cabin, and bottom, immediately transforming the once black hull into a milky white, elevating its aesthetics by more than just one grade.
Manager Fils watched with envy.
Trading a tree for a high aesthetic value canoe hand-crafted by Legendary Adventurer Bi Fang—that was indeed a hugely profitable deal.
Placed at the entrance of the resort, not even prohibiting touching it, as time would go by and the hull would be covered in patina, its value would rise yet another grade; isn't that more upscale than a tree?
Maybe it wouldn't just be one canoe.
Watching Bi Fang return to the shore to start working on another palm tree, Fils eagerly handed over an opened bottle of mineral water.
"Thank you."
