That's right, the guy who completely exposed the function of the Common Energy Crystal was someone Wang Teng knew. The only reason that guy knew the function of the Common Energy Crystal was because he had traded for it from Wang Teng using supplies.
Originally, although the number of survivors who knew the function of the Common Energy Crystal would likely increase as time passed, Wang Teng never expected that someone would just openly broadcast its function. Wasn't this just driving up the prices? How was he supposed to find any good deals now?
You have to understand, the survivors who had previously traded with Wang Teng for the function of the Common Energy Crystal had all maintained a tacit understanding. They chose not to make the function public because everyone had spent resources to buy the information, and naturally, they wanted to rely on that news to scrape together whatever resources they could.
In this regard, after glancing at the guy who was being constantly praised by numerous survivors in the Communication Channel, Wang Teng felt an urge to beat him to a pulp. However, there was nothing he could do about it, so he simply exited the Communication Channel to avoid the annoyance.
Meanwhile, on another small island, Li Jian—who had learned the function of the Common Energy Crystal from Wang Teng and made it public—was watching the private messages from numerous survivors requesting his attention on the light screen before him. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if a fish had taken the bait.
As it turned out, the reason Li Jian chose to make the function of the Common Energy Crystal public was entirely to prepare for his upcoming scam.
Because Li Jian knew very well that as time went on, more and more people would eventually learn the function of the Common Energy Crystal. Therefore, before the utility of this item became widespread, Li Jian chose to strike first and establish a persona for himself in the Communication Channel.
As for how many unlucky fools would fall for this guy's trap next, there was no way to know.
At the same time, Su Yu had fished up an item that was slightly special.
[Common Water-Avoiding Bead]
Introduction: Wearing the Water-Avoiding Bead allows you to avoid water while underwater for two hours, with a maximum diving depth of 50 meters. Once the bead's energy is exhausted, it can be placed in sunlight to recharge, recovering 10% energy per hour.
Playing with the Water-Avoiding Bead he had opened from a Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest, a thought couldn't help but bubble up in Su Yu's mind: should he send a Goblin down to see what the situation was like under the water?
After thinking about it, Su Yu suppressed the idea. After all, Sea Monkeys were known to haunt the waters beneath the surface. Sending a Goblin down rashly might just be providing the creatures with an extra meal. Besides, it was currently night, and nothing could be seen beneath the water; if he were to send a Goblin down, it would have to be during the day tomorrow.
Subsequently, Su Yu casually put one Water-Avoiding Bead around his neck, while the other was tossed into his pocket.
"Master, there's movement at the fishing net." Just as Su Yu was preparing to continue fishing, he suddenly heard the shout of a Goblin not far away.
Hearing this, Su Yu walked quickly toward the location of the Goblins.
[3 ★☆ Common Wooden Treasure Chests and 7 ★★ Common Wooden Treasure Chests have been caught. It is recommended to pull the net as soon as possible to prevent the chests from escaping.]
The items contained within the chests are as follows: 1 unit of Fiberglass, 1 Simple Fishing Net, 1 bottle of 20ml Constitution Potion, 200 rounds of Type 59 Pistol ammunition, +1 Island Area Fragment, 1 bottle of Common Loyalty Potion, 1 Diesel Generator, 1 box of steaks, 1 box of Moutai, and 2 large tents.
When Su Yu walked quickly to the side of the two Goblins, he discovered that the Simple Fishing Net they were guarding had already captured ten chests.
"Pull the net up." After scanning the items contained in the chests within the net, Su Yu gave the order to the Goblins beside him.
Hearing their master's command, the Goblins naturally began to pull the fishing net with all their might.
From every time he cast the net to every time he hauled it in, Su Yu could harvest at least six or seven Two-Star Wooden Treasure Chests. One could only imagine just how wealthy Su Yu was at this moment.
While other ordinary survivors might still be gnawing on bread and drinking cold water, this guy Su Yu was already using a Small Wooden Cabin specifically to store his treasure chests; it was simply absurd.
Even if other ordinary survivors had obtained a Simple Fishing Net and had a relatively sufficient supply of Common Bait, their speed of resource accumulation would still be nowhere near Su Yu's.
Because Su Yu could cast his net with pinpoint accuracy every single time, this was something other survivors simply couldn't achieve; for an ordinary survivor using a Simple Fishing Net to catch treasure chests, it would be considered lucky to pull up a Two-Star Treasure Chest in one go.
It was quite nice that Su Yu, on the other hand, always started with at least a Common Wooden Treasure Chest, and with the added boost of his Double Happiness talent, it was even better.
Soon, the Simple Fishing Net in the water was hauled onto the island by several Goblins working together.
After glancing at the treasure chests inside the net, Su Yu stepped forward and picked out the chest containing the +1 Island Fragment and 20ml of Constitution Potion, along with the Simple Fishing Net and the chest with that so-called loyalty potion; as for the remaining chests, Su Yu simply had the Goblins carry them back to the Small Wooden Cabin to store them for now.
[Common Loyalty Potion]
Description: When consumed by a low-level servant, this potion increases loyalty by 30 points. It is recommended to have the servant drink it when their loyalty is at 70 to ensure a die-hard effect.
This thing is a good item! After scanning the effects of the Common Loyalty Potion, Su Yu felt that it might not be impossible to trade for that guy Wang Teng's servant after all.
However, having already rejected Wang Teng earlier, Su Yu naturally wouldn't reach out to him again just to trade for his servant; for now, it was just a passing thought, not necessarily something he had to do.
After all, as far as Su Yu was concerned, having one more low-level servant didn't seem to be of much use anyway.
Setting that thought aside for the moment, Su Yu first used the two +1 Island Fragments he had opened from the chests, then uncorked the two 20ml bottles of Constitution Attribute Potion and downed them in one gulp.
He didn't know if it was because his body had become accustomed to the stimulation of the potions or what, but this time, the tingling, numb sensation Su Yu felt was extremely faint.
Furthermore, the effects of the potion only lasted for about five minutes this time; if he hadn't seen the change in his Constitution attribute on his personal panel and felt a certain strengthening of his physique, Su Yu would have thought he'd drunk a fake potion.
Let's get to work, let's get to work; I'll strive to get all my base attributes up to 5 points first. Glancing at his stats, which were already not far from the 5-point mark, Su Yu excitedly grabbed the Simple Fishing Net and began to wander around the edge of the island.
[Below the sea surface here, there are mostly ☆ treasure chests; casting the net is not recommended.]
