After leaving one too many comments beneath a video asking for help, writing, "I'd trade my merit for the kitty to get better," Su Jue blinked and found himself stranded on an uninhabited island.
The System he was bound to said he had to survive on the island and earn enough merit to return to the real world.
Su Jue, pampered from childhood and never once made to suffer, collapsed on the ground. "How am I supposed to earn merit on a deserted island?"
System: [Don't panic. This isn't an ordinary deserted island. It's a cat island!]
"..."
System: [Your twenty-three cats are here too~]
Su Jue jolted upright on the verge of death. "I'll do my best!!!"
The cat island's real name is Ten Thousand Fish Island. It's said you can catch every kind of fish here, real and imaginary alike.
To help Su Jue adjust, the System thoughtfully turned everyday activities into a game.
But this game is a real rip-off. In addition to feeding and housing the current residents, Su Jue has to care for a steady stream of new feline arrivals and pay an exorbitant amount of universal currency as "island rent," doubling every month.
Otherwise, the island will be struck by all kinds of disasters, from torrential rain, typhoons, and tsunamis to the bitter cold of winter.
For the sake of his own life and his adorable cats, Su Jue has no choice but to work from dawn to dusk!
From a tiny fishing hook to a conceptual fishing net that can haul up anything; from ordinary grass carp to dazzling, fantastical merfolk; from selling fish just to get by to opening a beautiful aquarium; from a thatched hut in the open air to a cat hotel with an alien flair...
Su Jue and his talented cats upgrade the island step by step, growing the business and making it thrive. They even help the merfolk establish diplomatic relations with aliens and find a new home~
As life gets better and better, Su Jue happily counts down the days until he can leave, while a certain merman king grows increasingly anxious.
What does this mean? This human caught me, and now he wants to run away?
So, on a warm spring day, the merman king seduces the human with his peerless looks and beautiful body, successfully completing a fish-making activity.
When Su Jue comes to his senses: He clutches his cat and screams.
Aaaah, beauty is a menace!!!
Years later, the former merman king tells his successors the story of him and his queen.
"Once upon a time, I lived in a kingdom beneath the sea. One day, a fishing hook fell into the ocean, and then... I got myself a wife."
P.S. A slow-paced farming and management story, and not too long~
