[Ordinary Adult Snow Wolf]

Body length: 2 meters.

Weight: 70 kilograms.

Detailed information: A subspecies of gray wolf in the family Canidae, order Carnivora.

Introduction: A pet that has been domesticated and stored inside a Pet Treasure Chest. It can guard the home and courtyard, and has greater fighting ability than an ordinary unarmed person.

At that moment, detailed information about the adult Snow Wolf inside the Pet Treasure Chest floated before Su Yu's eyes.

"If I open this thing and put them on the island, would that mean I've got two more mouths to feed?" Su Yu wasn't in a hurry to drag it over. He rubbed his chin and thought it over.

After all, compared with the two Goblins, Snow Wolves had no ability to work at all, at least for now. For Su Yu, they didn't seem to be of much use yet.

After thinking it over, Su Yu decided to put the chest inside the Wooden Cabin and open it later, when he had a use for it.

He had already tested it: as long as he didn't open the chest, it wouldn't disappear.

He had to admit, Su Yu was probably the only one who'd come up with a move like this. Who else would fish up a treasure chest and not open it? If they didn't open it, they wouldn't know what was inside.

After quickly dragging the Fishing Net ashore as well, Su Yu hauled all ten treasure chests into the Wooden Cabin. He sorted them by the uses of the items inside and stacked them around the cabin.

If another Survivor saw the inside of Su Yu's Wooden Cabin right now, they'd be drooling with envy.

Su Yu's Small Wooden Cabin now held not only a portion of the supplies he'd already taken out, but also quite a few Wooden Treasure Chests.

If this were ancient times, he'd be a landlord, no doubt about it!

[Ding, you've been ranked for one day. Would you like to claim the first-place Ranking Treasure Chest?]

Just as Su Yu clapped his hands and prepared to leave the Wooden Cabin, another mechanical notification sounded in his ear.

"Claim it." Hearing the prompt, Su Yu naturally accepted without hesitation.

[Daily Ranking Reward Treasure Chest] Introduction: Contains one Island Area Fragment that adds +5 square meters. [Island Area Fragment +5 square meters] Introduction: An Island Fragment formed when another island breaks apart for various reasons. Use it to increase the area of your own island by 5 square meters.

"Is it really this generous?" Looking at the item inside the Ranking Treasure Chest, Su Yu realized he'd underestimated it.

This one chest was worth five [Island Area Fragments +1 square meter] from Two-star Wooden Treasure Chests.

Moreover, Island Area Fragments weren't easy to fish up. Just look at Su Yu: after all those attempts, he'd only fished up a +1-square-meter fragment once. That showed how difficult they were to catch.

Then, looking at the two +5-square-meter Island Area Fragments he'd gotten from the chest, Su Yu silently thought, Use.

In an instant, Su Yu could clearly feel his island grow larger. The change was far more noticeable than when its area had increased by 2 square meters before.

After glancing over the enlarged island, Su Yu stirred his thoughts and brought up his Personal Attribute Panel.

[Level 1 Island Master] ~ Island Area: 112㎡ Name: Su Yu. Age: 23. Strength: 1.4+(1.12) Constitution: 1.4+(1.12) Spirit: 1.9+(1.12) Slaves: Two Low-level Goblins (+10 Island Prosperity Value) Note: The values in parentheses are attribute bonuses granted to the Island Master while on his own island. These bonuses become invalid when he leaves the island. Island Prosperity Value: 55 points (Regional Ranking: First) ~ (Wooden Cabin: 10 points, Goblins: 10 points, Sapling: 5 points...) Talents: SSS-rank Insight Talent, unknown-rank talent (Double Happiness) — Upgradeable. [Regional Communication Channel] [Regional Trading Channel] [Regional Island Prosperity Ranking]

Su Yu's Personal Attribute Panel now contained noticeably more information than before.

Looking at the bonuses to Strength, Constitution, and Spirit granted by the island on his Personal Attribute Panel, Su Yu couldn't help wondering: if he eventually expanded the island until it was as large as a continent, would he be able to command the power to move mountains and overturn seas?

In any case, based on the current situation, if the island's area increased to 200 square meters, it would add 2 points to each of Su Yu's attributes.

Those numbers didn't look very impressive. But what if he expanded the island to 100,000, a million, or ten million square meters? The bonuses he'd gain then would be insane, even if they only worked while he was on the island.

Su Yu shook his head, casting those fantasies out of his mind, then tapped into the Communication Channel to see if he could find any bargains.

"Oh, heavens! Oh, earth! Save me! I've only got one portion of Common Bait. How am I supposed to survive?"

"Why don't you try diving down and grabbing one of the treasure chests beneath the water?"

"Good idea!"

"Good idea my ass! Who knows if you'll be able to get back up once you go down there!"

"Brothers, whatever you do, don't go into the water! There's something under the—"

"Holy crap, bro above, are you okay? If you're still alive, say something! Tell us what's under the water before you kick the bucket!"

As soon as Su Yu entered the Communication Channel and saw one of the messages, his brows furrowed deeply.

"What else is under the water besides treasure chests?" At that moment, Su Yu's curiosity was piqued.

After all, if there really were other things underwater, he should have been able to use Insight to spot them!

But after fishing so many times, Su Yu had never sensed anything else. Something was clearly wrong!

"Could some special rule be restricting it? Maybe I'm not strong enough to see it yet." A possibility suddenly occurred to Su Yu.

"Any well-endowed guys know what's under the water? This is freaking creepy. Are monsters going to attack us tonight?"

"I don't think anything like that will happen within seven days. After that, who knows?"

"Damn it, could you stop jinxing us?"

While Su Yu pondered, the mood in the Communication Channel grew heavier and heavier.

It was all because one guy had posted a message that might or might not have been true, then gone silent. The message immediately set most of the Survivors wondering what might be down there.

After all, their lives were at stake. It was hard not to worry.

Even Su Yu had started making all sorts of guesses because of that one message, hadn't he?

"Everyone, don't scare yourselves. Being afraid won't help. The only thing we can do now is fight to stay alive."

At that moment, someone spoke up in the Communication Channel.
