Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest

Su Yu repeated the process, experiencing the same streak of bad luck he had after fishing up the Strength Potion earlier.

"Damn it, did I hit some kind of pity timer where I only get something good once every ten attempts?" Su Yu thought, feeling rather depressed as he reeled in another pile of mundane supplies.

If anyone saw the expression on his face right now, he would definitely be beaten to death if he were in a crowded place.

"Maybe I should try the Enhanced Bait. I have four of them anyway." As he glanced at the sky, a thought suddenly occurred to Su Yu.

Because after fishing up the Constitution Potion, Su Yu had cast his line ten more times in a row, but the results were all ordinary daily necessities with nothing special among them.

"Screw it." After a moment of thought, Su Yu decided there was only one word for it: go.

He calmly hooked the Enhanced Bait onto the hook, adjusted the position of the float, took a deep breath, and cast the line out.

[Ding, the item you uploaded, Zhonghua Cigarettes (one carton), has been traded successfully. Would you like to claim the item?]

Just as Su Yu was fully focused, the sound of a successful trade suddenly rang in his ears.

"Motherf—, you scared the hell out of me." After a string of colorful curses flashed through his mind, Su Yu silently muttered to claim the item, then ignored the materials left on the ground.

"It's here." Just then, Su Yu noticed the float bobbing on the surface of the water starting to move.

Su Yu immediately held his breath, his focus reaching its peak.

"Holy crap, it's so heavy." When the float suddenly plunged beneath the surface, Su Yu immediately applied force to his hands.

He saw his Common Fishing Rod bend into an alarming arc, as if it were about to snap at any second.

At this moment, the veins on Su Yu's arms were bulging; this was the result of him exerting almost all his strength.

Fortunately, Su Yu finally stabilized himself. He planted his feet firmly, rooting himself to the spot like a stubborn nail.

After getting a feel for the force coming from underwater, Su Yu began to pull back cautiously.

However, as soon as Su Yu exerted force, the pull from underwater immediately forced him to take a step forward.

Finally, after twenty minutes of an intense tug-of-war, Su Yu managed to bring the treasure chest from the bottom of the water to the surface.

[★★★★★ Common Wooden Treasure Chest]

Description: Contains ten Common Energy Stones.

Fishing Technique: Apply intermittent force; after one hour of continuous consumption, simply drag it in.

The moment the chest from the bottom of the water appeared on the surface, Su Yu captured its information.

"Does this mean I've already achieved freedom from worrying about Common Energy Stones this early on?" After reading the information, this thought couldn't help but pop into Su Yu's mind.

To be honest, Su Yu was a bit worried; he had so many energy crystals he couldn't use them all!

One must know that one Common Energy Crystal, when combined with flour, could produce thirty portions of Common Bait. Since Su Yu possessed the Double Happiness talent, this meant he would harvest a total of 20 Common Energy Stones from this five-star chest.

That meant if he processed them later, Su Yu could obtain 600 portions of Common Bait.

What kind of concept was that? Su Yu estimated that even if he fished until his hands cramped, he wouldn't be able to use them all up for a while.

He shook his head, casting aside the kind of thought that would get him beaten to death if spoken aloud, and began to focus on the tug-of-war with the five-star chest again.

Finally, as the sky began to darken, Su Yu managed to pull the chest up.

"Whew." The moment the chest was pulled up, Su Yu didn't rush to open it. Instead, he threw the fishing rod on the ground, lay down, and gasped for air.

Damn it, fishing up this chest felt more exhausting than all the previous chests combined.

Fortunately, the harvest was extremely gratifying; even with Su Yu's rate of bait consumption, he wouldn't have to worry about running out of bait for the next few days.

It had to be said that this was no different from getting rich overnight, especially since his ability to snowball was just too strong.

The Double Happiness talent combined with the insane SSS-level Insight talent was practically a cheat code!

[Ding, Survivor, please note: Night is falling. The temperature will continue to drop. Please take care to keep warm.]

Just as Su Yu was gasping for air, a special notification rang out abruptly beside his ear.

Hearing this, Su Yu pushed himself up with his arms and sat up.

"It's actually going to get colder at night. It seems that during these first seven days, ordinary survivors aren't just facing issues with food and water, but also the problem of staying warm!"

"Whoosh." As Su Yu pondered, a cold breeze blew across his body, and he immediately felt a chill.

Without further thought, Su Yu stood up, walked quickly to the Massage Chair, put on his shirt and jacket, picked up the treasure chest from the ground, and headed toward the Wooden Cabin.

"You two, get a fire started." Glancing at the rapidly darkening sky, Su Yu ordered the two Low-level Goblins in a deep voice.

After speaking, Su Yu entered the Wooden Cabin with the chest. He silently muttered to open it, and as he looked at the twenty Common Energy Stones piled up inside, a flash of excitement couldn't help but cross his eyes.

The impact of seeing physical items was different from looking at digital currency.

Afterward, Su Yu entered the Communication Channel to see if others were in the same situation as him.

"Damn it, the temperature is getting lower and lower, it's so cold. Wasn't there supposed to be a seven-day protection period for beginners?"

"Can't you start a fire? If you're cold, just warm yourself by the fire!"

"Holy crap, the wind is so strong, it almost blew away the tent I fished up."

"Looking to buy coats and bedding. Brothers and sisters who have extras, hurry and list them on the Trading Channel."

As soon as he entered the Communication Channel, Su Yu noticed that many people were discussing this issue.

"Everyone who has the means, get a fire going as soon as possible. It's the only way to make it through the night; otherwise, if you catch a cold or a fever from the freezing temperatures, you'll be in real trouble."

At this moment, someone on the Communication Channel also began to speak up.

Those who were a bit smarter had already started browsing the Trading Platform to select items. After all, once more people realized the situation, the items currently listed would surely be withdrawn by their owners or have their prices hiked up.

After all, as long as there are people, the concept of profit will always exist, no matter the circumstances.

Glancing at how many trading attempts he had left for the day, Su Yu directly listed a few Lighters, considering it a bit of a giveaway; any Survivor who managed to snag one could count themselves lucky.

After all, Su Yu was certainly not lacking in Lighters. Having spent the entire day fishing for treasure chests, he planned to eat something and go straight to sleep. Since these daily trading attempts would be wasted if left unused, he might as well build up his reputation, which would serve as a foundation for future trades.
