[Uses of Common Energy Crystal Revealed]

Thinking of this, Wang Teng immediately clicked into the Communication Channel, wanting to ask the others if anyone knew about this situation.

"Holy crap, has anyone here seen any monsters in the sea!"

Because Wang Teng happened to be in tenth place on the Regional Prosperity Ranking for islands, his message was quickly noticed by quite a few people.

"What, there are monsters in the sea? Big shot, what kind of monster did you see exactly? Please tell us."

"Damn it, it couldn't be the same monster that the guy who dared to go diving earlier ran into, right!"

"That's very likely. That guy didn't even finish his sentence before he disappeared forever."

"Holy crap, a monster? It wouldn't be a Jinpo, would it? I've read those tomb-raiding novels, and they have those things in the sea."

"Why don't you just say it's a Water Monkey, you idiot!"

For a moment, because of Wang Teng's single sentence, many survivors who hadn't gone to sleep yet were directly drawn out, and they all began expressing their own opinions in the Communication Channel.

At this moment, Wang Teng saw that no one in the Communication Channel knew about the situation, so this guy sent another private message over to Su Yu.

"Big shot, help! People are going to die, there's a monster in the sea!"

[Ding, survivor Wang Teng is requesting a private chat with you. Do you accept?]

At this time, Su Yu was busy fishing when he heard the notification sound of Wang Teng requesting a private chat ringing in his ears again.

This guy, he didn't see a Sea Monkey too, did he? Su Yu, who hadn't been paying attention to the Communication Channel, suddenly had this thought flash through his mind.

"Accept." Having a guess in his heart, Su Yu directly chose to accept.

The moment Su Yu agreed to Wang Teng's private chat request, the message Wang Teng had sent appeared before Su Yu's eyes.

It really is possible he saw a Sea Monkey. From the message Wang Teng sent, Su Yu realized his guess wasn't wrong.

I don't know if it's because my spirit attribute has increased quite a bit, but Su Yu felt that his thinking ability had improved significantly; things he couldn't figure out before were now clear at a single thought.

"If you're not dead, make a sound. Tell me what exactly you saw. If you're dead, then forget it; no need to haunt my dreams."

After thinking about it, Su Yu still sent a reply to Wang Teng. Anyway, Su Yu hadn't used up his quota for communication messages for the day.

"I'm here."

At this moment, Wang Teng was watching the movement on the sea surface while keeping an eye on the private chat interface. When he saw the message Su Yu sent back, a few black lines immediately appeared on Wang Teng's forehead.

However, the next second, Wang Teng immediately typed away and sent a message back to Su Yu.

"Big shot, I'm still alive. As for the monster that appeared in the sea, I only saw that it had scales on its body and looked like a human. I don't know anything else."

This guy Wang Teng was actually quite smart. After realizing that he couldn't get information about the monster in the Communication Channel, he immediately realized that while ordinary survivors might not have seen this monster, the top-ranked big shot might have.

At this moment, Su Yu saw the private message sent by Wang Teng. After a moment of thought, he replied casually: "Paid exchange. One Common Energy Crystal, and I'll tell you some information."

"That's robbery!" Seeing Su Yu's reply, Wang Teng couldn't help but feel his heart twitch.

Although he had used the information he bought from Su Yu to act as a middleman a few times over the past two days—taking advantage of the fact that the effects of the Common Energy Crystal hadn't spread widely yet—he couldn't afford to keep spending one Common Energy Crystal per piece of information.

"Can you make it cheaper, boss? I can't afford that!" After thinking it over, Wang Teng started crying poor again.

As a result, after Su Yu saw the message that guy sent, he simply couldn't be bothered to reply.

On the other side, Wang Teng waited anxiously for four or five minutes. When he didn't receive a reply from the boss, he finally realized that the boss didn't seem to want to deal with him.

In an instant, Wang Teng felt a headache coming on. He thought, This is too hard. I just tried to haggle a little, why stop talking to me?

In the end, Wang Teng still couldn't bring himself to trade a Common Energy Crystal for a piece of information, but to avoid offending Su Yu, he sent a very tactful reply.

"Boss, I'll come back to trade with you once I'm rich."

Su Yu's eyelids twitched slightly at this, and he continued to fish.

Meanwhile, in the Communication Channel, the discussion about the monsters in the sea had yet to yield any results, but another matter had attracted the attention of most survivors.

"Brothers and sisters, I have good news for you. I know what the Common Energy Crystal is used for. If you combine this thing with flour, you can make Common Bait. One Common Energy Crystal combined with 300 grams of flour can produce 30 portions of Common Bait."

"Holy crap, is that for real?!"

"Good people live long lives. No wonder the guy at the top of the ranking is buying these things."

"Look at his vision, then look at some other people. They knew what this thing was for all along and just kept their mouths shut."

"What are you barking about upstairs? I haven't seen you share any information either, you idiot."

"Exactly. If it weren't for keyboard warriors like him, the world would be a better place. He's all talk. Maybe after the seven-day beginner protection period ends, when he dies, his whole body will be soft, but his mouth will still be stiff. Haha."

With the news leaked by certain people in the Communication Channel, some started to stir up trouble, and many pointed their fingers directly at Su Yu.

After all, Su Yu had been firmly occupying the number one spot on the ranking, and other survivors couldn't even send him a private message unless they met the conditions he had set.

This led many survivors to harbor resentment toward Su Yu; after all, it is only natural for humans to feel jealousy.

It was precisely for this reason that Su Yu rarely spoke in the Communication Channel, except when he needed to buy something.

In any case, Su Yu didn't care at all about what the other survivors thought of him. After all, in this world, his priority was how to survive, not to spend his days arguing in the Communication Channel.

At this moment, many survivors near the top of the Regional Island Prosperity Ranking were watching the messages in the Communication Channel with cold eyes, and many of them sneered in disdain.

"A bunch of fools. At a time like this, they're still trying to stir up trouble for the number one on the regional ranking. If it turns out later that the regional number one gains the authority to sanction ordinary survivors as time goes on, those idiots won't even be able to cry."

As for Wang Teng, when he saw the name of the guy who revealed the use of the Common Energy Crystal, he wanted to go up and stab him twice.

"That bastard, I can't believe he leaked the information so quickly."
