Hundred-Refined Black Iron, Seeking Follows and Collections

"Big shot, I've agreed to the trade. Could you throw in an extra piece of cold-weather gear? Otherwise, I'm going to freeze to death tonight." Having made up his mind, Wu Zhe didn't forget to try and negotiate for a little more warmth.

"Fine. Since you're the first person to trade me a fragment, I'll throw in an extra piece of cold-weather gear. I'm putting the items on the Trading Channel now, go ahead and claim them!"

After reading Wu Zhe's message, Su Yu couldn't be bothered to haggle. After all, he had plenty of cold-weather supplies, most of which were still sitting in unopened Common Wooden Treasure Chests.

He then walked into his wooden cabin, opened a chest that contained a blanket, and immediately posted the trade on the Trading Channel.

Items for trade: 15L of potable fresh water, 10kg of rice, 1 Windproof Lighter, 1 blanket.

Items requested: +1 Island Area Fragment.

As soon as Su Yu posted the trade, Wu Zhe snatched it up.

Su Yu quickly retrieved the island fragment traded by Wu Zhe. Even a mosquito is meat, no matter how small; after glancing at the fragment in his hand, Su Yu chose to use it immediately.

In an instant, the area of Su Yu's island increased from 112㎡ to 113㎡.

Su Yu then busied himself again, first roughly planning out the future layout of his island before picking up his Common Fishing Rod and heading to the edge of the island.

[The resources beneath this patch of sea are barren. It is recommended to change fishing spots.]

After glancing at the message floating before him, Su Yu immediately moved to several different spots.

[Five meters beneath this patch of sea, there is a Five-Star Treasure Chest. It is recommended to fish here.]

"Huh?" After moving a few times, Su Yu couldn't help but let out a surprised sound when he saw the message flash before his eyes.

Could it be that because my strength has improved slightly and I've used my talent more often, my Insight Talent has leveled up?

A question popped into Su Yu's mind. Previously, the feedback he received when looking at the water surface only indicated whether treasure chest resources were abundant or scarce; it never specifically indicated the star rating of the chests beneath the surface.

"I'll know once I try." With this hypothesis in mind, Su Yu took out a portion of enhanced bait, hooked it, and cast his line precisely into the area indicated by his Insight Talent.

Time ticked away second by second as Su Yu waited. Three minutes, five minutes—just as ten minutes were about to pass, Su Yu suddenly felt the fishing rod in his hand tighten.

[★★★★★ Common Wooden Treasure Chest]

Description: Contains the material Hundred-Refined Black Iron.

Fishing Technique: Based on the angler's strength and the quality of the fishing rod, it is recommended to pull back and forth for one hour before exerting force to drag it onto the island.

[Hundred-Refined Black Iron]

Description: One of the upgrade materials used to upgrade a Common Fishing Rod to a Black Iron Grade Fishing Rod. When combined with Ice Silkworm Silk, a Black Iron Mysterious Hook, and a Black Iron Grade Fishing Rod Upgrade Blueprint, it can be used to upgrade the Common Fishing Rod.

As soon as the chest underwater took the bait, Su Yu noticed the information about the submerged chest floating before his eyes.

"Incredible. My talent really did level up. I don't even have to wait for the chest to surface to gain insight into its information."

At this moment, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. After all, this meant he could fish with precision instead of relying on his hit-or-miss European Emperor Aura.

Following the fishing techniques prompted by his Insight Talent, Su Yu successfully dragged the Five-star Wooden Treasure Chest from beneath the water onto the island.

Then, as the thought of opening the treasure chest flashed through Su Yu's mind.

[Ding, your Double Happiness talent has triggered. You have obtained two pieces of Hundred-Refined Black Iron.]

After this talent trigger notification sounded, two pieces of Hundred-Refined Black Iron, emitting a dark, jet-black luster and looking as smooth as jade, immediately appeared before Su Yu's eyes.

"Damn, so heavy." As Su Yu reached out to pick up the Hundred-Refined Black Iron from the ground, he immediately felt just how heavy the item was the moment he held it in his hand.

"These materials for upgrading the fishing rod are increasingly giving me the vibe of the magical artifact materials from those cultivation novels I read before I transmigrated," Su Yu thought to himself after glancing at the Hundred-Refined Black Iron in his hand.

And at this moment, Su Yu felt that perhaps he really might be able to fish up some cultivation secret manuals later on.

Because as the star rating of the treasure chests increased, the variety of items found inside was also becoming more and more diverse.

Su Yu estimated that above this Five-star Wooden Treasure Chest, there should be a Black Iron Treasure Chest corresponding to the Black Iron Grade Fishing Rod.

As for what might be further up, Su Yu guessed it could be Bronze, Silver, or Gold treasure chests, though whether that was true or not, he had no way of knowing.

Immediately, Su Yu took the two pieces of Hundred-Refined Black Iron and placed them inside the small wooden cabin, which he had completely repurposed as a storage room.

After putting away the Hundred-Refined Black Iron, Su Yu excitedly trotted back to the edge of the island and began to carefully observe the water surface.

[Beneath the water surface here, there are many ☆ Common Wooden Treasure Chests. It is recommended to change fishing spots.]

"Nice."

Having obtained more detailed insight information, Su Yu couldn't help but clench his fist tightly.

And so, Su Yu began to move continuously along the edge of the island.

[Beneath the water surface here, there are mostly ☆ and ★ Common Wooden Treasure Chests. It is recommended to change fishing spots.]

After changing positions several times in a row, Su Yu finally spotted a location that satisfied him.

[Beneath the water surface here, ★★ Common Wooden Treasure Chests are clustered together. It is recommended to cast the net and reel them in.]

"Quick, you two, bring me the fishing net." At this, Su Yu quickly turned his head and ordered the two Low-level Goblins not far away.

Receiving Su Yu's command, the two goblins immediately trotted over, picked up the Simple Fishing Net lying on the ground, and quickly ran toward Su Yu's position.

After reaching out to take the Simple Fishing Net handed over by the two goblins, Su Yu quickly attached ten portions of Common Bait to it.

With the twenty Common Energy Crystals obtained from the previous Five-star Wooden Treasure Chest, Su Yu had already had the two goblins use the flour he fished up to make over a hundred portions of Common Bait, so all Su Yu had to do now was consume the bait as much as possible.

"Use the wood to drive stakes into this spot." After attaching the Common Bait, Su Yu cast the Simple Fishing Net and immediately ordered the two goblins nearby.

Already familiar with the routine, the two goblins quickly dragged over the wood for staking and began hammering it in, one after the other.

As for Su Yu, he was currently gripping the rope at the end of the fishing net tightly in his hands.

[Two-star Common Wooden Treasure Chests are entering the fishing net one after another. Please be careful, please be careful, do not be dragged into the water by them. It is recommended to have multiple people pull.]

Just as Su Yu was focusing all his attention, a prompt from his Insight Talent floated before his eyes.
