[Common Adult Snow Wolf]

Body length: 2 meters.

Weight: 70 kilograms.

Details: Belongs to the order Carnivora, family Canidae, subspecies gray wolf.

Introduction: A domesticated pet from a Pet Treasure Chest, suitable for guarding the home, possessing combat power that exceeds that of an ordinary person fighting empty-handed.

At this moment, detailed information regarding the adult Snow Wolf from the Pet Treasure Chest drifted before the eyes of Su Yu.

If I open this thing and put it on the island, does that count as adding two more freeloaders? Su Yu, not in a rush to drag it in, rubbed his chin as he thought.

After all, compared to the two Goblins, the Snow Wolf currently had absolutely no ability to work, which meant it seemed to be of no great use to Su Yu for the time being.

After some thought, Su Yu decided to just throw the treasure chest into the wooden hut and open it later when he actually had a use for it.

In any case, Su Yu had already tested it: as long as the treasure chest remained unopened, it would not disappear.

It must be said that this is the kind of maneuver only Su Yu could pull off; there is no reason for anyone else to fish up a treasure chest and not open it, because without opening it, one would never know what was inside.

Soon, after dragging the fishing net onto the shore as well, Su Yu hauled the ten treasure chests into the wooden hut and stacked them inside, categorized by the utility of the items they contained.

If any other survivors were to see the situation inside Su Yu's wooden hut right now, they would be drooling with envy.

As it stood, inside Su Yu's small wooden hut, in addition to the supplies that had already been unpacked, there were quite a few wooden treasure chests piled up.

If this were ancient times, he would undoubtedly be a wealthy landlord!

[Ding, your time on the leaderboard has reached one day. Do you wish to claim the Rank 1 Ranking Treasure Chest?]

Just as Su Yu clapped his hands together, preparing to leave the wooden hut, a mechanical prompt sounded in his ears once more.

"Claim." Upon hearing this notification, Su Yu chose to claim it without the slightest hesitation.

[Daily Ranking Reward Treasure Chest]

Introduction: Contains one Island Area Fragment +5 square meters.

[Island Area +5 Square Meter Fragment]

Introduction: An island fragment generated when other islands shatter for various reasons; using it increases the area of one's own island by 5 square meters.

"Is it this generous?" Looking at the items inside the Ranking Treasure Chest before him, Su Yu felt that he had underestimated this chest.

Because this single treasure chest was worth five [Island Area +1 Square Meter Fragments] opened from Two-star Wooden Treasure Chests.

Moreover, these island area fragments were not that easy to fish up. Just look at Su Yu; he had fished so many times and only ever caught one +1 square meter island fragment, which showed just how difficult it was to fish this item up.

Su Yu then glanced at the two +5 square meter island area fragments he had opened from the treasure chest and silently chanted "use" in his heart.

In an instant, Su Yu could clearly feel that the island he was on had grown a circle larger, which was much more noticeable than when it had increased by +2 square meters previously.

After scanning the expanded island, Su Yu shifted his thoughts and pulled up his Personal Attribute Panel.

[Level 1 Island Master]~Island Area 112㎡

Name: Su Yu.

Age: 23.

Strength: 1.4+(1.12)

Physique: 1.4+(1.12)

Island Prosperity: 55 points (Rank 1 in the region)~(Wooden Hut 10 points, Goblins 10 points, Saplings 5 points..)

Talents: SSS-grade Insight Talent, Unknown-grade Talent (Double Happiness)-Upgradable.

[Regional Communication Channel][Regional Trading Channel][Regional Island Prosperity Ranking].

At this moment, Su Yu's Personal Attribute Panel was significantly richer in information than before.

Looking at the strength, physique, and spirit bonuses provided by the island on his attribute panel, Su Yu suddenly wondered if he could possess the power to topple mountains and overturn seas once he eventually expanded his small island to the size of a continent.

Regardless, according to the current situation, if the island area increases to 200 square meters, it would provide Su Yu with a +2 bonus to each attribute.

Although this number doesn't look large, what if Su Yu expands the island area to one hundred thousand, one million, or ten million in the future? The bonus attribute values would be monstrous then, even if the effect only applies while he is on the island.

Shaking his head to cast those fantasies out of his mind, Su Yu tapped his thoughts into the Communication Channel, wanting to see if he could pick up any bargains.

"Oh heavens, oh earth, save me! I only have one Common Bait, how am I supposed to survive!"

"To the guy above, why don't you try diving down to see if you can grab the treasure chests under the water."

"Good idea!"

"Good my foot! Who knows if you'll be able to come back up once you go down there!"

"Brothers, whatever you do, don't go into the water! There is... under the water."

"Damn, is the brother above still okay? If you're still alive, give us a sign! Tell us clearly what's under the water before you kick the bucket!"

As soon as he clicked into the Communication Channel and saw a certain message, Su Yu's brows furrowed deeply.

"What exactly is under the water besides treasure chests!" At this moment, Su Yu's curiosity was piqued.

After all, if there really were other things under the water, it stood to reason that Su Yu should have been able to perceive them!

Yet, having fished so many times, Su Yu had never perceived anything else, which clearly indicated a problem!

"Could it be that due to some special rule restrictions, my strength isn't enough to perceive them for the time being?" Su Yu suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Does anyone big know what exactly is under the water? This is damn creepy. Won't monsters attack at night?"

"I don't think that kind of situation will happen within seven days, but it's hard to say after seven days."

"Damn it, can you stop being a jinx!"

As Su Yu pondered, the atmosphere in the Communication Channel became increasingly heavy.

It was all because a guy had just posted a message of unknown authenticity and then stopped responding, instantly triggering speculation among most of the survivors.

After all, this was linked to everyone's life; it was hard not to take it seriously.

Didn't you see that even Su Yu had developed quite a few speculations in his heart because of that sentence?

"Everyone, don't scare yourselves. Being afraid is useless. The only thing we can do now is to try our best to survive."

At this moment, someone stood up in the Communication Channel to speak.
