"Damn it, what kind of survival treasure chest is this? How did I get pots and pans? I need water and food, you idiots!"

"Screw this, I got 3 kilograms of Rice, but there's no water!"

"What the hell, what is this doll thing?"

Scanning the Communication Channel, Su Yu realized that most people posting were complaining about the items they had pulled from their starter treasure chests.

Seeing this, Su Yu suddenly felt that getting water and instant noodles was actually quite lucky.

However, it seemed most people hadn't fully processed the situation yet, so the messages in the Communication Channel were still scattered and hadn't reached the speed of a full-blown spam feed.

After continuing to scan and finding no useful information, Su Yu exited the Communication Channel, planning to check back in after a while.

Su Yu then picked up his Fishing Rod and walked toward the edge of the island. When he reached the shoreline, he didn't rush to cast his line, but instead focused his gaze on the surface of the sea.

[The sea area below this point has scarce and common treasure chest resources. It is recommended to change your fishing location.]

As Su Yu concentrated, a line of text flashed before his eyes.

Seeing this information, Su Yu immediately turned around and walked in another direction.

[The sea area below this point has average treasure chest resources. It is recommended to change your fishing location.]

After changing directions, Su Yu found that this spot still wasn't ideal, so he moved again.

[The sea area below this point has abundant treasure chest resources. It is recommended to fish here.]

"Nice." Seeing this prompt, Su Yu instantly perked up.

He gave the Fishing Rod a gentle flick toward the water, and the line fell into the sea.

Understanding the importance of the Fishing Rod in the early stages, Su Yu stared intently at the float, gripping the rod tightly. After standing for a while, he sat down cross-legged on the ground.

Time passed slowly as Su Yu fished. Fishing is a game of patience, so even when the float showed no movement, Su Yu's expression remained calm.

Suddenly, Su Yu noticed the float bobbing on the water surface sink sharply. Seeing this, he instantly exerted force and pulled up on the rod.

With Su Yu's effort, a small wooden treasure chest surfaced from the water.

[☆Common Wooden Treasure Chest]

Description: Contains 10 units of Common Wood. Simply drag it ashore with force.

As Su Yu's gaze swept over the chest floating on the water, his Insight Talent immediately revealed its information.

Seeing the details, Su Yu didn't hesitate; he pulled back on the rod, and just as the description suggested, the chest was dragged up without any resistance.

Looking at the treasure chest he had pulled up, Su Yu reached out and touched it.

[Ding, you have obtained a ☆Common Wooden Treasure Chest. Do you wish to open it?]

"Yes."

The moment he touched it, he heard the prompt in his ears. Knowing what was inside, Su Yu didn't feel much excitement.

Perhaps with the Insight Talent, Su Yu couldn't experience the thrill of a blind box, but asking him to turn off the talent was definitely out of the question.

[Treasure chest opening. Double Happiness talent activated. You have obtained 10 units of Common Wood * 2.]

When the wooden chest was opened, it dissipated, and a pile of wood appeared before him.

At the same time, information about the wood appeared before Su Yu's eyes.

[Common Wood]

Description: Can be used to build a Small Wooden Cabin and wooden furniture. It can also be used as fuel for lighting and heating. If you do not know how to build a cabin yourself, you can try to fish for a Wooden Cabin Blueprint and use it to build one directly.

Note: 100 units of wood are required to build a 15-square-meter Small Wooden Cabin.

Su Yu nodded slightly. The wood was quite useful; it could be used to build a shelter, otherwise, it would be a disaster if it rained.

However, it required one hundred units of wood to build, and Su Yu was still quite far off.

So, in order to live in a Small Wooden Cabin sooner and get new supplies, Su Yu had to start fishing again.

Next, Su Yu entered a state of monotonous fishing. Fortunately, he had the Communication Channel to keep him alert.

Su Yu gripped the rod tightly while distracted by browsing the channel. After so much time, the regional channel had finally become lively.

"Damn it, can someone tell me what it feels like to fish up a damaged wooden chest only to find a pair of waterlogged, smelly socks inside?"

"Don't worry about it, brother. I didn't fish up anything good either. The first chest I opened only had two pieces of bread."

"Screw you, get lost."

"Any brothers want to see some stockings? I'll send a photo for a bottle of water."

"Get lost, you trap! Trying to trade photos for water? Keep dreaming!"

It had to be said that the Communication Channel had become a place for most people to vent their panic.

After all, not everyone could calmly face this kind of situation, and the channel provided a way for them to release their fear.

As for Su Yu, he had already died once, and having just soul-transmigrated only to encounter this mass-transmigration event, he had become somewhat thick-skinned.

Su Yu kept an eye on the float while sneaking glances at the channel.

"Holy crap, this is heavy." Just then, Su Yu, who was staring fixedly at the float, suddenly saw it sink violently, and he exerted a sudden, powerful force with his arms.

However, Su Yu felt that this time was very different from the first Common Wooden Treasure Chest he had fished up.

This time, Su Yu clearly felt a resisting force from underwater. Fortunately, Su Yu was on the island, which provided a boost to his strength, making him twice as strong as he was before he transmigrated.

If he weren't afraid of snapping the rod, Su Yu would have definitely exerted his full strength.

After using some techniques customary to fishing, Su Yu finally managed to pull the treasure chest from the bottom of the water up to the surface, though it would still take some effort to haul it all the way up.

[★Common Wooden Treasure Chest]

Description: Contains one Type 59 Pistol and 8 Rounds of Ammunition. The technique to fish this chest is to use intermittent force while dragging.

Note: Please do not drag with brute force, or it will easily unhook.

"Nice, it actually dropped a weapon, even if it doesn't seem very useful at the moment." Seeing the information of the treasure chest as it surfaced briefly before sinking back into the water, Su Yu immediately perked up.
