"I..."
After changing spots more than a dozen times without finding a suitable place to cast his net, Su Yu couldn't help wondering if he'd been fishing too often, leaving the treasure chests around his island no time to refresh or restock.
"Damn, forget it. I'll take a break and check again later." After making a round of the area without finding either a fishing spot or a place to cast his net, Su Yu sat down on the Massage Chair, feeling rather glum.
He casually lit a Huazi and started puffing away.
With nothing to do but smoke, Su Yu was beginning to feel bored, so he decided to lurk in the Communication Channel again.
But after entering the Communication Channel and scrolling through the chat history, Su Yu's expression turned a little strange. He really hadn't expected this bunch to spend every day stirring up trouble about him in the channel.
Su Yu didn't care in the slightest. Let them talk. Was he going to lose a piece of flesh over it? As long as he was living comfortably, that was all that mattered. After all, could they even imagine how good he had it?
As for the people in the Communication Channel who mocked him for knowing what Common Energy Crystals did and refusing to share it, Su Yu couldn't be bothered to pay them any attention.
Even saints couldn't be completely selfless, and Su Yu considered himself nothing more than an ordinary man!
Meanwhile, plenty of night owls who couldn't sleep were still chatting in the Communication Channel Su Yu followed.
"I feel like the big shots spend every day fishing and gathering supplies. Only people like us, who don't have a damn thing, spend all day using our ten messages to chat in the Communication Channel."
"Drop the 'I feel like.' Just tell me how many times you've seen anyone in the top ten of the rankings speak in the Communication Channel. Look at the Top Ranker: all he ever does is post a buy order. He can't be bothered to say anything else."
"Ah, day two of envying the big shots. Day two of missing my girlfriend."
"Bro above, I've got an inflatable one here. Why don't you buy it and make do?"
"Get lost, get lost. Keep it for yourself!"
"Brr, it's freezing! Even the tent's no help!"
As for Su Yu, after glancing at the messages in the Communication Channel, he thought it over and drafted a message to post. He still had some of his trading opportunities left for the day, after all.
He glanced through the Trading Channel, but there was basically nothing worth trading for.
"Buying Strength, Constitution, and Spirit Attribute Potions, as well as Island Fragments. Items offered in exchange will be pinned in the Trading Channel."
"Holy crap, the Top Ranker's here!"
"Big shot, you're amazing! Could you spare me a bite to eat? I'm starving!"
"Top Ranker, are you into black stockings? DM me."
"Could these Attribute Potions be things that increase your attributes?"
"Based on my ten years of experience dominating games, they're definitely things that increase your attributes."
"Damn, we're still struggling to get a bite to eat, and the big shot's already reached this level?"
As soon as Su Yu spoke in the Communication Channel, he stirred up quite a crowd. In the region where Su Yu was, the survivors' opinions of him were sharply divided.
Some people kept badmouthing Su Yu, others supported him, and still others remained neutral.
Meanwhile, Su Yu was drafting his message for the Trading Channel.
Items offered in exchange: (8 kilograms of rice or 4 kilograms of meat + 1 pack of Furongwang + 3 steaks.)
Wanted in exchange: Strength Attribute Potion 0/4, Constitution Attribute Potion 0/2, Spirit Attribute Potion 0/3, +1 Island Area Fragment.
Note: Each bottle of potion or +1 Island Area Fragment can be exchanged for all the items in parentheses.
Since it had rained heavily that day, plenty of survivors were sure to have enough fresh water, so Su Yu slightly adjusted the terms he'd previously offered for trading for Island Fragments.
After all, a Two-Star Treasure Chest contained plenty of food, and Su Yu also had his Double Happiness talent. He couldn't lose on a trade like this. It would also help him clear out the treasure chests stacked up in the Small Wooden Cabin.
Besides, if other survivors had Attribute Potions or +1 Island Area Fragments, they'd most likely gotten them from Two-Star Treasure Chests. There was no way anyone would sell them if the price was too low.
And basic information had spread among most survivors through their discussions in the Communication Channel. So it was clearly impossible to buy items from Two-Star Treasure Chests at a very low price.
After finishing the message in the Trading Channel, Su Yu pinned it.
"Holy crap, the Top Ranker pinned his trade offer! Damn it, why don't I have any of the items he wants? Otherwise, the supplies I got in exchange would keep me going for days, even if I didn't catch anything else."
"The big shot's loaded. He's offering that much in supplies for these items."
"Day two of wanting to eat meat."
"Tch, you've got all that food and you don't even know to share some with us. You're so cold-blooded, with no sense of kindness at all. You have such a narrow outlook. If I had that much food, I'd give it away to everyone for free."
"Here's a joke. If you had a million, ten million, a hundred million, would you donate it? Someone answered cheerfully that he would—even if he had ten billion, he'd still donate it. But when that generous person was asked if he'd donate his car, he looked back at it and muttered that he wouldn't, because he really did own a car."
"Hahaha, I'm dying! Someone actually tried to use that trick to guilt-trip the Top Ranker. This guy must still be living in a peaceful world, thinking he can smear people and put them in a bad light just by running his mouth!"
Su Yu saw the messages in the Communication Channel too, so he posted another message and pinned it.
"Buy now while you can. Once I've used up today's trading opportunities, I won't be buying anything else."
"Holy crap, I got so caught up talking that I forgot! First come, first served! I just caught a Two-Star Treasure Chest today, and it had a +1 Island Area Fragment in it. The Top Ranker's price is good—I'll take the deal."
"Charge! Let's go!"
Among the survivors who frequented the Communication Channel, the price Su Yu had offered was already considered quite high.
Not every survivor with a +1 Island Area Fragment also had plenty of food. So not long after Su Yu posted the offer, a successful-trade notification rang in his ear.
[ Ding! Your item has been traded successfully. Please claim the traded item: +1 Island Area Fragment. ]
As soon as the notification sounded, 8 kilograms of rice, 1 pack of Furongwang, and 3 steaks disappeared from Su Yu's supplies.
