Upon seeing this update announcement, players couldn't help but smile.

Iron Black Pot patted Hand Rubbing Diamonds on the shoulder: "Diamonds, see, I was right. According to this game's usual style, I told you, this Merfolk Islands was definitely going to be our next base."

"Oh wow, this place is so much better than the Underground City. Look at the surrounding environment, it's so beautiful, absolutely stunning."

"In a place like this, if it were in reality, the housing prices would definitely be sky-high, don't you think?"

Hand Rubbing Diamonds rolled his eyes and then spoke up: "If you convert the game's currency into real-world dollars, this game's land is already at a premium price, okay?"

Iron Black Pot shrugged slightly: "The exchange rate has dropped now, it's within an acceptable range, actually. Plus, the best part is, this game's real estate system directly sells the land, with permanent ownership, and it's stable without any price spikes at the moment."

"What I mean is, the land price on the Merfolk Islands should be more expensive than in the Underground City and Kain Island."

Hand Rubbing Diamonds glared at Iron Black Pot: "Are you even planning to buy a house? The original prices weren't cheap to begin with, and you're thinking of higher prices. Are you even a player? You suspect you might have a special deal with the devs?"

Iron Black Pot sighed helplessly: "These days, even speaking the truth gets condemned, it's just too much."

"By the way, where's Wangzai Little Buns? Wasn't she thinking of buying a house on Merfolk Islands?"

Hand Rubbing Diamonds looked up at the sky: "I saw her just flying up high, maybe scouting for the best spot around the island?"

"So, do you plan to buy a house on Merfolk Islands, or are you still aiming at Kain Island and the Underground City?"

Iron Black Pot glanced at the beautiful surroundings and finally spoke up: "Let's see the house prices first, then I'll ask Mage Fang Ka. If the house price on Merfolk Islands is the same as in the Underground City and Kain Island, I'll buy here."

"If Merfolk Islands is more expensive, then I'll have to reconsider."

"The main thing is, there aren't enough players with the same skin as me yet, so we can't form a legion. Therefore, buying a house isn't urgent."

"Because only after forming a legion does a house become essential, right?"

Hearing Iron Black Pot's words, Hand Rubbing Diamonds cracked a bitter smile: "You're not wrong, but whenever this comes up, I get annoyed."

"You're better off. At least you have a few players with the same skin as you."

"But I don't have a single player with the same skin as me, it's really baffling."

"Is my skin really that rare? That's not a good thing."

Hearing Hand Rubbing Diamonds' words, Iron Black Pot patted his shoulder: "I think it's just a matter of probability. Once the next batch of players advances to High Tier, there should be plenty with your skin."

Hand Rubbing Diamonds shrugged his shoulders: "Thanks for the encouragement, I hope so."

"Alright, I'm going to scout the island and see which spots are good."

"If possible, I'd like to buy land here on the Merfolk Islands in the future."

After speaking, Hand Rubbing Diamonds prepared to leave.

Just then, a task notification popped up.

It was a new task released by Fang Ka.

This new task was simple, it formally opened up the discovered Silver Mine and two Gold Mines to players.

Players can now mine these three veins and transport the mined minerals to Sadek for task submission.

It's just like mining Demon Crystals in the Underground City and delivering them to the Royal Palace for submission.

Upon seeing this task, players on the Merfolk Islands got especially excited.

Hand Rubbing Diamonds, who was about to leave, landed back down immediately.

He spoke to Iron Black Pot: "Whoa, this task is pretty intense, Black Pot, what do you think?"

Iron Black Pot saw Hand Rubbing Diamonds' question and smiled, then responded: "Obviously, this place, Merfolk Islands, has become a large base just like the Underground City."

"Previously, when I was operating the mining equipment, I saw Aiman busy on an island, and Sadek was there too."

"Considering they were there together, similar to their busyness at the Underground City, I suspect that's where Sadek will stay, and where minerals will be submitted."

"If that's the place, I just calculated quietly, the gold and silver mines here yield similar profits to mining Demon Crystals in the Underground City."

"Because the Underground City consumes more time en route, when converted, the profits over the same period should be roughly equal."

Hand Rubbing Diamonds glanced at the mining equipment placed not far away and spoke up: "I thought they were brought here for the Merfolk on the island, but it turns out they're for us, that's a pleasant surprise."

Iron Black Pot glanced at Hand Rubbing Diamonds and laughed: "Still planning to do an island fly-around to find the best plot?"

Upon hearing this, Hand Rubbing Diamonds shook his head: "Hey, no rush anymore. Gonna go mining now."

"I'll try to mine the first load of Gold Ore, transport it for submission, and check the land price per plot while I'm at it."

With those words, Hand Rubbing Diamonds headed towards the nearby Gold Mine.

By now, many players had already started moving.

They were all busily operating the mining equipment.

Seeing this, Iron Black Pot quickly followed suit.

A flurry of enthusiastic mining activity thus commenced among the players.

Switching the perspective to focus on the players, Fang Ka watched this scene with satisfaction and nodded approvingly.

Then he switched his view back and headed over to the Array of the Sound of the Cyan Wood to contact Tina.

He hadn't forgotten his previous promise to Sadek.

He planned to have Tina prepare two suitable craftsmen, and then send them to the Merfolk Islands.
