"Heh, who is eating steamed buns and drinking cold water, and who is doing well, everyone knows in their hearts. Envious? Jealous? So what? You can't do anything about me!"

At this moment, Su Yu noticed that the guy showing off in the Communication Channel had started taunting everyone again.

"Damn it, my temper is flaring up, it's infuriating! How can there be such a despicable piece of trash?"

"Damn, why isn't there a report function!"

"Is there any big shot out there who can come out and sanction this prick?"

"This guy is definitely using Yangshou Zengyun to fish. I bet he'll drop dead on the spot in the next second."

Just then, Su Yu saw that most of the survivors in the Communication Channel had started flaming that shameless guy.

Because this guy was completely rubbing salt into everyone's wounds! It would be one thing if he just fished up a lot of supplies, but he had to show off and mock others, as if he were terrified that people wouldn't know how many supplies he had.

As for the top ten on the Regional Island Prosperity Ranking, including Su Yu, none of them were speaking up in the Communication Channel to condemn the guy.

Although Su Yu saw these messages, he mostly just thought the guy had nothing better to do and was bored out of his mind.

If you asked Su Yu to stand up and argue with the guy, Su Yu really wasn't that bored. If he had the time, Su Yu felt it would be more worthwhile to fish for supplies instead.

Meanwhile, on another small island, a "man" with a rather effeminate appearance and not a shred of masculinity was looking at the light screen in front of him with a sleazy grin.

That's right, this guy was the one who had just been taunting everyone in the Communication Channel.

"Tch, a bunch of losers." After muttering this to himself, the man picked up his Fishing Rod and trotted toward the edge of the small island.

To tell the truth, this guy's talent was not far off from what a certain survivor had cursed; he was truly fishing by using his lifespan!

[A-rank Talent: Yangshou Zengyun]

Talent Description: The possessor of this talent can consume their own lifespan to increase their temporary luck. Each time, a minimum of 3 days of lifespan is consumed to increase temporary luck for 3 minutes.

It was precisely because of this talent that he was able to fish up so many living supplies. If it weren't for the fact that he was stingy and valued his life, he would definitely have a spot in the top ten of the regional ranking with this starting talent.

At this moment, Su Yu, who was no longer paying attention to the activity in the Communication Channel, was directing the four Low-level Goblin to pull the Fishing Net.

[★☆ Common Wooden Treasure Chest x2, ★★ Common Wooden Treasure Chest x8.]

The items contained in the treasure chests are as follows: +1 Island Area Fragment, Common Energy Crystal, Enhanced Bait x2, Fiberglass, Simple Toilet, Gasoline 50L, Fertile Soil x10, Whole Roasted Lamb x1, Rice 50KG, Thorns x50.

While directing the four goblins to pull the net, Su Yu scanned the information about the treasure chests floating before him.

"Not bad." Although there were no items like Attribute Potion this time, Su Yu was still quite satisfied. The appearance of the Simple Toilet, in particular, eased the awkwardness of Su Yu having to relieve himself while facing the ocean.

Among these items, the one Su Yu cared about most was the Enhanced Bait. Up until now, Su Yu was still missing one material; otherwise, he could craft the Enhanced Bait himself instead of pinning his hopes on treasure chests.

As for the missing material, Su Yu had searched and tried to purchase it on the Trading Channel, but there had been no response. It was possible that no survivor had fished it up yet.

For Su Yu, only higher-star treasure chests could make his island develop more rapidly.

To be honest, if the other survivors saw the speed at which Su Yu's island was developing, they would probably be completely numb.

At this moment on Su Yu's island, the central area featured an Exquisite European-style Cabin, with two Toyota Sedans parked beside it. As for the rest of the island, some areas were already planted with quite a few Fruit Tree Saplings, while most of the remaining space was completely covered in Fertile Soil. Additionally, he possessed four Low-level Goblin slaves and more supplies than he could possibly stack.

If it weren't for the fact that the island's surface area was still too small, Su Yu could have already built the Thorn Fence using the blueprint, as he had already gathered all the necessary construction materials for it.

After casually using the Island Fragment, Su Yu's island area increased by another 2 square meters, reaching a size of 117㎡. All in all, it was still less than 11x11 in area; such a size was naturally unsuitable for building a 10x10 Thorn Fence, otherwise, Su Yu wouldn't even have a way to go fishing.

Just as Su Yu was about to head to the edge of the small island to search for traces of a five-star treasure chest, a sudden clap of thunder exploded in the sky.

Good grief, the abrupt sound of thunder made even Su Yu's scalp tingle.

After reacting, Su Yu looked up at the sky, only to find that the previously clear sky had suddenly turned dark in a flash.

[Ding, survivors please note: the weather is volatile and localized heavy rain is about to arrive. After the rain, the probability of fishing for high-star treasure chests will increase slightly for a period of time.]

"Damn, the weather is as unpredictable as a person's mood!" Hearing the notification sound in his ears, Su Yu immediately felt depressed.

"Quick, use the Tarpaulin to cover those saplings and everything else." Glancing at the darkening sky, Su Yu turned to instruct the four goblins, then turned around and walked quickly toward the location of the cabin.

"Damn it, I hope there isn't a strong gale!" To be honest, Su Yu was feeling a bit worried about whether there would be strong winds.

After all, a strong gale on the sea was simply not giving anyone a way to survive!

When Su Yu entered the cabin, he immediately clicked into the Communication Channel, wanting to see how many people were affected by this heavy rain.

"I'm done for, it's about to rain heavily, and all I've built so far is a crappy Thatched Cottage!"

"I'm even worse off, I only have a few pieces of wood and a sheet of Tarpaulin."

"It's fine, it's fine, didn't the prompt say that the chance of fishing for high-star treasure chests increases after the rain?"

"Exactly, exactly, it's just right to take a shower in the rain, and we can store quite a bit of fresh water."

"Are you stupid, the person above? Did you not consider the possibility of a strong gale?"

"Oh my, mother, I didn't think of that."

Scanning the rapidly scrolling messages in the Communication Channel, Su Yu realized that the number of people affected by this heavy rain was not small.

"Master, everything is taken care of." Just as Su Yu was browsing the information, the few goblins appeared at the door of the cabin.

"Come on in!" Glancing at the goblins outside the door, Su Yu didn't make them stand out there; after all, these were all laborers, and if they got sick, Su Yu would suffer a huge loss!

Hearing Su Yu's call, the four goblins hurriedly squeezed into the cabin.
