"Off you go." After locking onto this spot, Su Yu cast his line with a sharp flick.
Meanwhile, Ji Qingrou had traded with Su Yu for the Common Fishing Rod Upgrade Blueprint and finished upgrading her Novice Fishing Rod.
Ji Qingrou also had a batch of enhanced bait on hand, and she wondered whether she should use it.
After thinking it over carefully, Ji Qingrou decided to trust her talent's instincts. Following the faint stirrings of her sixth sense, she locked onto the spot that felt strongest to her, then, without the slightest hesitation, baited her hook and cast her line.
As for Su Yu, he watched the sea patiently. Compared with ordinary survivors who were still struggling to get their hands on Two-Star Wooden Treasure Chests, he had already opened several Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chests.
[★★★★★ Wooden Treasure Chest] Description: Contains one 100 ml bottle each of a Strength Potion, a Constitution Potion, and a Spirit Attribute Potion. Fishing technique: Pull from side to side; reel in slowly and let out quickly. [Strength ~ Constitution ~ Spirit Attribute Potions (100 ml)] Description: Drinking these permanently increases Strength, Constitution, and Spirit by one point each. Note: The potions have no effect if a base attribute is greater than five.
"A family-size bottle of the three-piece set of base attribute potions?" Su Yu scanned the notification that appeared before him, and the thought immediately popped into his head.
"These are good stuff! With my Double Happiness talent, I can definitely raise all three of my base attributes—Strength, Constitution, and Spirit—by two points!"
Once he'd gathered himself, Su Yu began carefully tugging at the line.
Before he knew it, time was flying by. After carefully hauling the treasure chest from beneath the sea and onto the island, Su Yu glanced up at the sky and saw that it was already afternoon.
"Gurgle... gurgle... gurgle..."
"Forget it. I'll eat first." Su Yu had just been about to open the chest when he reached over and rubbed his growling stomach. He'd been so engrossed in fishing that he hadn't even eaten lunch.
Holding the chest, Su Yu walked over to the Small Wooden Cabin and found a place to sit. Then he ordered a few Goblins to bring out the roasted whole lamb.
Soon, two Goblins carried out the now-cold roasted whole lamb, one after the other.
Su Yu had gotten the lamb from a treasure chest. He hadn't been hungry at the time, so he hadn't eaten it. Now he could still warm it over a fire.
Obviously, Su Yu didn't need to handle all these tedious little chores himself. The two Goblins promptly started a fire, set the lamb over it, and turned it to heat it through.
After warming it for about seven or eight minutes, Su Yu cut off a big leg with his knife and took a huge bite.
As soon as the lamb entered his mouth, Su Yu felt a rush of pure happiness. The Goblins nearby watched their master like this and couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
But without Su Yu's order, they didn't dare reach out and take any lamb for themselves.
Su Yu glanced at the Goblins and swallowed the mouthful of lamb with some effort before casually saying, "All right, you can split what's left. That'll be your food for lunch and dinner."
"Thank you for your generosity, Master!" At Su Yu's words, the Goblins immediately perked up.
The four Goblins then carried the roasted whole lamb a little farther away, lest their table manners displease their master.
As for Su Yu, who was still gnawing on the big leg, he didn't feel bad about it at all. He had plenty of food, and he couldn't finish the whole lamb by himself. It wouldn't taste as good by evening, so he might as well let the Goblins have it.
After all, these fellows still had to handle all the odds and ends around the island. Goblins might be ugly, but they worked hard. Otherwise, Su Yu wouldn't have kept them around.
"Burp." After finishing the roasted lamb leg and drinking a bottle of soda, Su Yu let out a satisfied belch.
After stretching, Su Yu carried the five-star treasure chest over and plopped down on the Massage Chair. Although it wasn't plugged in, it still worked perfectly well as a chair.
With a slight stir of his thoughts, Su Yu found himself holding six bottles of 100 ml attribute potions, thanks to his Double Happiness talent.
Su Yu wasn't quite bold enough to chug all six bottles at once. The effects of these potions were several times stronger than those of the previous ones!
After thinking it over, Su Yu decided to take them one at a time. He pulled out a stopper and began gulping the potion down.
The moment the potion hit his stomach, a powerful sensation swept through Su Yu's entire body, making him tremble involuntarily.
About half an hour later, the potion's effects had finally been completely absorbed by Su Yu's body.
"Whew." Su Yu let out a long breath. Without a moment's hesitation, he downed the second bottle.
Three hours later, Su Yu had finally finished all six bottles of attribute potions.
At that moment, soaked through with sweat, Su Yu felt better than ever. He even felt as if he could kill a tiger with one punch.
At the thought, Su Yu brought up his Personal Attribute Panel.
[Level 1 Island Master] ~ Island Area: 139㎡ Name: Su Yu. Age: 23. Strength: 3.8+(1.39) Constitution: 3.8+(1.39) Spirit: 4.3+(1.39) Slaves: Four Low-level Goblins (+20 Island Prosperity) Note: The values in parentheses are attribute bonuses the Island Master receives while on his own island.

After glancing over his Personal Attribute Panel, Su Yu saw that with the attributes granted by his island, all three of his attributes—Strength, Constitution, and Spirit—had now broken through the threshold of five.
However, he still had no way to measure exactly how strong he was.
Fortunately, Su Yu had another way to roughly gauge his strength. At the thought, he turned his eyes toward the Goblins.
[Low-level Goblin] Identity: Slave. Loyalty: 100 (Cannot betray) Strength: 1.5 Constitution: 2 Spirit: 1.5 Skill: Basic Construction. Description: The cheapest labor force. Can survive on only a small amount of food. Common language has been implanted. Combat strength comparison: The two sides differ considerably in their three attributes. Unarmed, you could take on thirty of them.
