Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1325 - 1175: The Primitive Tribe

Even the fish in this lake are this big—just how huge must the fish in the sea be?

You can imagine how "developed" the seas are nowadays.

Lin Yi had firsthand experience of this.

Like when he had just transmigrated over here—it was exactly like that.

Leng Yu’s side had caught loads of giant lobsters and huge crabs, and yet for them, even if they were willing to gnaw on grass roots and tree bark, they still refused to eat seafood.

Precisely because of this, the seashore is basically crawling with crabs, abalone and the like, everywhere you look, and all of them are ridiculously huge.

These days, never mind a single abalone—even ones weighing eight or ten jin are commonplace.

In contrast, grain is incredibly scarce; wanting to eat a bowl of white rice or a plain white steamed bun is basically a distant dream.

And precisely because of people’s current mindset and understanding, they have no idea how precious seafood is, don’t know how delicious that stuff can be.

But thinking about it, it’s understandable—no matter how tasty seafood is, no matter how much you eat, it doesn’t really fill you up.

Plus, if you eat too much seafood, it can make you unwell; that’s why many people would rather eat grass roots and tree bark than go catch it, and over time their fishing skills have gotten worse and worse.

If it weren’t an absolute last resort, who would want to eat that kind of thing?

Of course, all this was just a string of thoughts passing through Lin Yi’s mind. Right now he looked at everything in the water, at the thriving scene on the lake bed, and could only shake his head helplessly.

He was going to slowly change this situation, slowly get people to accept the delicacies from the bottom of the sea or lake.

Actually, there was no need to intervene too much—just make sure everyone becomes prosperous, that their lives are worry‑free, with grain to eat. Then they will naturally want to try new foods, to try new tasty things.

Take the Capital City, for example. Normally, the street vendors selling snacks would find it very hard to do business, but now it’s different—once there’s a basic standard of living, people start seeking enjoyment and are willing to buy more foods they’ve never eaten before, things they’ve never seen.

That’s made a lot of people start spending.

Anyway, that’s just a side topic. At this moment Lin Yi stood on the lake bed, mulled it over for a while, then shook his head helplessly.

Then with a wave of his hand, he started working on the lake water in front of him.

As for what his work was, of course it was to store as much of this lake water as possible in his System Space.

As he drew the lake water into the System Space, a massive volume of water suddenly poured into it.

This water didn’t randomly rush in and sweep everything away; instead, under Lin Yi’s control, it formed a giant water sphere in midair, just hanging there suspended, not touching anything at all. Not even a single piece of paper inside got the slightest bit wet.

This was the wonder of the System Space for Lin Yi—as long as he willed it, the water inside could take on any form.

As long as he didn’t want it to flow, it could even exist in a kind of solid form.

Soon, with Lin Yi’s movements, a gigantic water sphere appeared in the System Space, large enough to rival the size of the Bird’s Nest stadium in the later generations.

And the lake’s water level was dropping at a rate visible to the naked eye—the surface fell by nearly ten centimeters in an instant.

Feeling out the strength of the water flow and sensing the water inside the System Space, Lin Yi nodded in satisfaction.

The only thing that made him feel a bit helpless was that as this water was stored in the System Space, some of the creatures in the water were sucked in along with it.

One‑meter‑long big fish were everywhere, but the moment these creatures entered the System Space, they showed no signs of life at all.

After entering the System Space, they instantly lost their lives, although they still maintained their original appearance, drifting inside the water sphere.

Lin Yi, of course, was used to this and not surprised; he knew full well that the rules of the System Space didn’t allow living beings to enter.

Because of that, he didn’t bother with them—after all, those fish, once taken over there, could very well end up feeding the natives.

That’s right, the reason Lin Yi was collecting so much lake water was that he wanted to take it directly to that arid land, to that stretch of desert territory.

Over there, what they lack most isn’t gold or silver—it’s water resources.

Not just now; even in that highly developed society of the later generations, that place still suffers severe water shortages.

It’s no exaggeration to say that even a bottle of oil couldn’t be exchanged for a bottle of water.

Although they’re definitely short on grain as well, what they lack most is still water. Once there’s water, hiring some laborers will be the easiest thing in the world.

As Lin Yi kept moving, the water quickly flowed into the System Space. Once it was filled to capacity, he didn’t linger—he shot straight up, broke through the water’s surface in an instant, and streaked toward the sky.
