"Damn, he saw right through me." Seeing the message from the big shot, Wang Teng felt his heart drumming in his chest.
Fortunately, Wang Teng was thick-skinned, so he immediately replied to Su Yu: "If you don't want it, I'll just keep it for now. I'll reach out again if I get anything good next time."
After sending the message, Wang Teng looked at Jia before him with a headache.
Damn it, running into such a trash servant made Wang Teng want to die. "Maybe I should find a way to just get rid of this guy." A thought couldn't help but pop into his mind.
Compared to a servant like this who required a long time to cultivate loyalty, Wang Teng would rather develop on his own in the shadows.
Furthermore, through experimentation, Wang Teng discovered that with Jia's current loyalty, he could command him to do simple chores, but if he asked him to do anything life-threatening, his loyalty would definitely drop—that much was certain.
"Damn it." The more he thought about it, the more depressed Wang Teng became, and he couldn't help but curse.
"Is something wrong, Master? What happened?" The commotion Wang Teng caused instantly drew Jia's attention.
"It's nothing, nothing." Wang Teng brushed Jia off with a laugh, and after speaking, he turned his head back to look at the torrential rain outside the window, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, on Su Yu's end, after seeing the reply from that guy Wang Teng, he couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
"Just how much of a pitfall is a servant with 60 loyalty that it makes a guy like Wang Teng so desperate to get rid of him?"
From those few simple sentences, Su Yu had already deduced that it must be because the servant with an initial loyalty of 60 had too many restrictions, and that guy Wang Teng probably couldn't stand it anymore.
Not taking the matter to heart, Su Yu casually opened the window of his Small Wooden Cabin. As he looked out, a series of notifications flashed rapidly before his eyes.
[Zero-Star Damaged Wooden Treasure Chest]
Description: Contains a broken iron pot.
[☆Common Wooden Treasure Chest]
Description: Contains five units of wood.
[☆Common Wooden Treasure Chest]
Description: Contains a roll of sandpaper.
At this moment, Su Yu discovered that there were eight more treasure chests on the island, with the ☆Common Wooden Treasure Chests being the most numerous at five, while the remaining three were all Zero-Star Damaged Wooden Treasure Chests.
"It seems the highest star-rated treasure chest washed up by the sea is the ☆Common Wooden Treasure Chest." Watching the chests at the edge of the island, which were constantly at risk of being swept back into the sea by the waves, Su Yu became lost in thought.
Fortunately, whether due to some unknown force or otherwise, the seawater only washed over the edges of the island and didn't reach the central area where Su Yu was located.
Otherwise, Su Yu wouldn't be in the mood to leisurely watch the sea; he would have to figure out how to prevent himself from being washed off the island by the waves.
Glancing at those treasure chests, which were currently holding firm on the island, Su Yu didn't pay much attention to them. After all, with the highest star rating being only a half-star wooden chest, even if they all washed back into the sea, it wouldn't matter much to him.
In contrast to a wealthy survivor like Su Yu, other ordinary survivors were risking being swept into the sea by the waves. Every time they spotted a treasure chest washed up to the edge of their islands, they would immediately brave the heavy rain to carefully retrieve it.
Whether it was a damaged wooden treasure chest or a Common Wooden Treasure Chest, he didn't let a single one slip by.
In the end, this localized heavy rain lasted for about half an hour before the skies cleared up.
Once the rain stopped, Su Yu didn't dawdle; he immediately rushed out of the Small Wooden Cabin. Ignoring the low-star wooden treasure chests scattered along the edge of the island, his gaze was now locked firmly onto the surface of the sea.
[A Four-Star Wooden Treasure Chest has been detected beneath the surface here. You may choose to use Enhanced Bait to fish for it, or change your fishing spot.]
As expected, the probability of fishing for high-star treasure chests had increased.
Glancing casually across the sea, Su Yu felt his mood stir with excitement after seeing the prompt from his Insight Talent, much like the thrill of knowing there was a big fish in the area.
However, a mere four-star wooden treasure chest clearly couldn't satisfy him, so he moved to a different spot and began scanning again.
[A Five-star Wooden Treasure Chest has been detected five meters beneath the surface here. It is recommended to fish at this location.]
After scanning the area, Su Yu finally found another fishing spot. He skillfully hooked the Enhanced Bait, cast his line, and began the process of waiting for the treasure chest to bite.
Meanwhile, in the regional Communication Channel, many people were sharing the benefits the heavy rain had brought them.
"Brothers, I've upgraded from a bicycle to a motorcycle! Just now, while it was pouring, I risked my life to pick up five Half-Star Wooden Treasure Chests. After the rain stopped, I opened them and got Rice and some green vegetables. At least I can hold out for a few more days now."
"Damn, the chest I risked my life to grab had a deflated doll inside. What the hell? Can't the game give me something better?"
"Hahaha, I opened a chest and got a pack of Furongwang cigarettes. Finally, I can satisfy my nicotine craving."
"Screw that, I only picked up four. Dammit, three of them were damaged wooden treasure chests filled with nothing but junk."
"Huh? Are you guys really that miserable, only finding junk? I've already picked up over a dozen chests, and the lowest grade was a Half-Star Wooden Treasure Chest. Plus, I got three Two-Star Wooden Treasure Chests. My supplies are super abundant."
"Oh, for heaven's sake, it's this jerk again. How is this bastard still not dead yet!"
"The good die young, but the wicked live for a thousand years. This guy has truly reached a new level of shamelessness."
"To be fair, is what this guy is saying even true? How is his luck always so good? Could the talent he awakened be related to luck?"
At this moment, Feng Xiaokang, who had just finished showing off in the Communication Channel, was on his own island, excitedly opening treasure chests.
When he discovered that the waves would wash treasure chests onto his island, Feng Xiaokang had decisively chosen to use his Yangshou Zengyun talent, consuming his lifespan to temporarily boost his luck.
The heavy rain lasted for about half an hour, so Feng Xiaokang had consumed roughly thirty days of his lifespan. It had to be said that while he was a jerk, he certainly knew how to seize an opportunity.
Previously, when just using the Fishing Rod, the results of using Yangshou Zengyun were too unstable, so Feng Xiaokang had been very stingy and cautious, terrified of exhausting his lifespan and dying. This was because Feng Xiaokang suffered from a hereditary disease, and doctors had previously predicted he wouldn't live past thirty-five.
Furthermore, through his fishing attempts, Feng Xiaokang discovered that the luck-boosting effect was somewhat inconsistent. It didn't mean that as soon as he boosted his luck, a treasure chest would immediately bite; there was an uncertain time delay involved. The luck boost only increased the probability of him fishing for high-star treasure chests.
This was normal, after all; Feng Xiaokang's talent was only A-grade and hadn't reached the heaven-defying level where he could just walk out and pick up treasures. Plus, since he didn't dare to consume his lifespan in large amounts, the items he fished up in the early stages were only enough to outperform ordinary survivors.
