[Monster Treasure Chest]

Now that Su Yu had a talent giving him hints, he naturally wasn't going to haul the treasure chest up by brute force.

Su Yu began pacing back and forth across the island, tugging on the line. Gradually, the Wooden Treasure Chest beneath the water was pulled closer and closer to shore.

Finally, with one powerful pull, Su Yu successfully dragged the Wooden Treasure Chest out of the water and onto the shore.

Knowing what was inside, Su Yu didn't waste time. He immediately chose to open the Wooden Treasure Chest.

[Type 59 Pistol]

Description: Magazine capacity: 8 rounds. Effective range: 50 meters. Highly lethal against ordinary humans and animals.

Note: Its range is limited. Fire at close range to ensure maximum lethality.

With his Double Happiness talent, Su Yu naturally received two Type 59 Pistols and 16 rounds of matching ammunition.

The moment he held the guns, a flicker of excitement passed through Su Yu's eyes. After all, back in his peaceful era, ordinary people rarely got the chance to handle a real firearm.

After figuring out how to load the bullets into the magazines, Su Yu raised one of the guns and aimed at a pile of lumber not far away.

"Bang." A gunshot rang out, and Su Yu fired his first shot.

After testing the gun, Su Yu didn't waste any more bullets on further shots. After all, a gun without bullets was no better than scrap metal, so it was best to conserve them.

If he hadn't wanted to figure out how the thing worked, Su Yu wouldn't have fired at the lumber in the first place.

Su Yu casually set the gun aside and returned to the great endeavor of fishing. He couldn't help it; island life was just this dull.

Still, as far as Su Yu was concerned, his fishing was far better than everyone else's. Not only did he have a talent practically like a cheat, but he also had an overpowered Insight-type talent. It was a blessed start, to say the least.

The others weren't so lucky. They couldn't guarantee they'd catch something every time. Quite a few were coming up empty, while others were pulling up piles of junk.

If Su Yu hadn't had hints from his Insight Talent and chosen a spot rich in underwater resources, he'd probably be in the same situation as everyone else.

"Oh, nice. Another treasure chest is on the hook." Seeing the chest sink beneath the surface again, Su Yu's eyes flashed with delight.

After all, every time the float sank, it meant a treasure chest was on the hook!

"Holy crap, what the hell did I hook?" Su Yu had only just shown a flicker of delight when the force coming through his Fishing Rod nearly yanked him off his feet.

If he hadn't been more than a meter from the water's edge, he would've been dragged right in.

Once he recovered, Su Yu gripped the Fishing Rod with both hands and carefully leaned back, pulling against it.

But as soon as he moved back a little, the force coming through the rod immediately forced him to take a small step forward again.

Instead of being alarmed, Su Yu was delighted. Based on the two fishing hints from his Insight Talent, he'd found that the higher a treasure chest's star rating, the harder it struggled.

And right now, he could clearly feel that the force coming from beneath the water was much stronger than the one from the ★ Common Wooden Treasure Chest he'd caught earlier.

Considering the star-rating range of chests caught with Common Bait, Su Yu figured the one on the hook this time had to be a ★★ Common Wooden Treasure Chest.

He just didn't know what was inside it.

After Su Yu continued tugging for a while, the thing beneath the water finally broke the surface.

[★★ Common Monster Treasure Chest]

Description: This chest contains a Low-level Goblin. After fishing up the chest, you may choose to open it and release the Goblin.

Note: You can only claim the chest's reward after defeating or killing the Goblin.

[Low-level Goblin]

Strength: 1.5

Constitution: 2

Spirit: 1.5

Weapon: Broadsword.

Evaluation: The most worthless sort of Goblin. It has basic construction skills. Based on the items you currently possess, the recommended method of dealing with it is to use a firearm.

After glancing at the chest as it briefly floated to the surface, Su Yu realized that the information appearing before his eyes was far more extensive than before.

"So this is a special kind of treasure chest. I wonder what the reward will be after I kill this thing." Once he'd read the information, Su Yu became rather interested. This kind of chest had brought back the thrill of opening a mystery box.

If he'd caught this Monster Treasure Chest before fishing up a gun, Su Yu would've had to think twice about whether to haul it up and open it.

After all, although the creature inside had lower overall attributes than him with his island's boost, it had a weapon!

But now, with two guns in hand, Su Yu had no such concerns. His Insight Talent had already given him the best way to handle it.

Soon, Su Yu and the Monster Treasure Chest beneath the water began a prolonged tug-of-war. After more than twenty minutes of grueling effort, Su Yu finally hauled the chest ashore.

Looking at the Monster Treasure Chest before him, Su Yu casually set his Fishing Rod aside and picked up the two [Type 59 Pistols] he'd placed nearby. He quickly touched the chest before him and silently thought, Open the chest.

As soon as he finished, Su Yu immediately backed away and stared intently at the spot where the Monster Treasure Chest sat.

Then Su Yu saw a flash of white light, and a creature less than 1.5 meters tall, with a slightly hunched frame, appeared right before him.

The moment he saw it, Su Yu pulled the trigger, not giving the Goblin even a chance to react.

The Goblin had only just been released from the Monster Treasure Chest. Before it could even figure out where it was, it felt pain flare across its body. Then its vision went black, and it collapsed.

Although Su Yu had never received professional shooting training, he'd played with a slingshot as a kid. At this close range, he could still aim well enough.

To be on the safe side, he fired five bullets in one go, punching five holes into the Goblin's body.

[Ding, you have killed the Low-level Goblin inside the ★★ Common Monster Treasure Chest. You may choose one of the following rewards.]

[Option One: One Low-level Goblin slave.]

[Option Two: The construction knowledge possessed by a Low-level Goblin.]

After Su Yu killed the Low-level Goblin, the Monster Treasure Chest's reward options appeared before him.

Without giving it much thought, Su Yu chose the Goblin slave.

[Ding, your Double Happiness talent has activated. You have obtained two Goblin slaves.]

After the notification sounded, two Goblins identical to the one from before appeared out of thin air before Su Yu.

As for the Goblin lying on the ground, it simply vanished.
