After glancing at the messages from the many Survivors in the Communication Channel, Su Yu's eye twitched involuntarily.

"As expected, there are all kinds of people these days!"

He shook his head, decided he'd rather not see it, and immediately left the Communication Channel.

"Well, that's a lucky start." Just as Su Yu left the Communication Channel, he suddenly felt a tug on his hand.

[★★ Common Wooden Treasure Chest] Introduction: Contains one Simple Fishing Net, which can be used to catch low-level treasure chests. [Simple Fishing Net] Introduction: Hang Common Bait on the net and cast it into the water. Then wait for a treasure chest to get caught. The optimal amount of bait per use is ten portions. Note: This net can catch treasure chests up to ★★ Common Wooden Treasure Chests. Be extra careful when pulling it in, or you may be dragged into the water. Durability: 10 (Decreases by 1 each time you cast the net and catch a treasure chest.)

"666!" After seeing what was inside the treasure chest he'd caught at the start of the day, Su Yu couldn't help exclaiming, "666!"

"This is just like finding a pillow right when you're sleepy! The damn heavens really do understand me."

Su Yu quickly pulled the Two-Star Wooden Treasure Chest out of the water. Since he'd upgraded his Fishing Rod yesterday, he no longer had to struggle to haul up these Two-Star Treasure Chests. He could just pull them up with brute force.

As for the three portions of enhanced bait left over from yesterday, Su Yu planned to follow yesterday's ten-portion baseline and see if he could turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

After casually opening the Two-Star Wooden Treasure Chest, Su Yu looked at the two Simple Fishing Nets in his hands and called over the two goblins.

Looking at the two goblins before him, Su Yu ordered them to use wood to set up two stakes in suitable spots. Then, with ten portions of Common Bait already attached, he cast the net toward the area where his Insight Talent had detected an abundance of treasure chests.

When he saw the net sink beneath the water, Su Yu tied its rope to one of the stakes.

Then, he did the same with the other net. That used up twenty portions of Common Bait in one go, and Su Yu couldn't help feeling pleased.

Su Yu wasn't expecting to catch ten Two-Star Treasure Chests in one net—that was obviously impossible. He'd be satisfied if each net brought up two or three.

[ Ding! Survivor Wang Teng requests a private chat. Accept? ] Just as Su Yu was about to continue fishing, a private chat notification interrupted his train of thought.

"It's that guy again. Did he catch something good this time, too?" With that thought in mind, Su Yu accepted the private chat request.

"Bigshot, are you there? I've got something I want to trade with you. See if you want it." On his own island, Wang Teng looked at the item he'd just found in a treasure chest and felt a bit stumped.

"Damn, it's a good item, but I don't know how to use this thing, and I don't dare use it either. I need to find someone to take it off my hands."

"What is it? If I'm interested, we can make a trade."

After glancing at the message Wang Teng had sent, Su Yu replied.

"It's a small Common Speedboat. If you want it, Bigshot, just make me an offer!" Wang Teng immediately responded when he saw Su Yu's message.

"A small Common Speedboat? I wouldn't dare take it out on this sea either, but I could still trade for it. Might come in handy later."

After thinking it over, Su Yu decided he might as well trade for it. It could sit in the water without taking up any space, and more importantly, he was looking to clear out his inventory. He had too much stuff.

After a moment's thought, Su Yu sent Wang Teng a message.

"I'll take it. I'll give you a Common Wooden House Blueprint. What do you think? With this blueprint and a hundred portions of Common Wood, you can build a wooden cabin of about fifteen square meters without lifting a finger."

"Holy crap, there's something that magical?" Wang Teng had never caught a blueprint before, so he was instantly stunned. When he came to his senses, he hurriedly replied, "Deal! I'll trade!"

After all, Wang Teng was still pitifully living in the tent he'd found in a treasure chest. Having a wooden cabin would be so much more comfortable.

"All right, I'll list it in the Trading Channel. Just accept the trade." After seeing Wang Teng's reply, Su Yu didn't say much. He sent him a quick message and listed the trade.

Trade item: [Common Wooden House Blueprint] × 1.

Wanted item: [Common Speedboat] × 1.

Wang Teng was rapidly scrolling through the Trading Channel when he saw Su Yu's listing and accepted it immediately.

In an instant, the Common Speedboat before Wang Teng vanished in a flash of white light. At the same time, a notification sounded by his ear: Trade successful. Please claim your trade item.

He silently claimed it, and a blueprint depicting a simple wooden cabin appeared in his hand. After glancing at it, Wang Teng immediately began searching the Trading Channel for offers of wood.

After all, a blueprint alone wasn't enough to build a wooden cabin. He still needed materials!

Meanwhile, Su Yu walked over to the water's edge and silently claimed his item. A small Common Speedboat appeared on the water before him.

[Common Speedboat] Details: A 6-meter speedboat that can carry 6 people. Fuel tank capacity: 150 L (currently empty). 70–115 hp outboard motor. Maximum speed: 35 knots (115 hp). Introduction: After filling it with gas, you can try driving the speedboat to explore the area around the island. It's best not to go too far, or you may lose your bearings.

After looking at the speedboat, Su Yu saw its detailed specifications appear before his eyes.

The fuel tank was empty, which was within Su Yu's expectations. Wang Teng wasn't stupid. If there'd been gas in the tank, he wouldn't have traded it away so readily.

Then Su Yu had the two goblins set up two more stakes and tied one end of the speedboat to them with a rope before returning to his fishing.

Although Su Yu had Gasoline, he didn't know how to drive a speedboat. But he wasn't entirely without options.

After all, he still had the two goblins. He could have them get the hang of it later. Goblins were fairly skilled with mechanical devices like this, so they'd probably figure it out quickly.

Even if they messed it up, Su Yu wouldn't feel bad. It was practically free, after all.

Soon, Su Yu had calmed down and taken out another portion of enhanced bait, hoping to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.
