After reaching out and grasping these two items, which resembled smartphone screens, Su Yu discovered that a green starting point and a blue destination point had appeared on them.

"A starting point, a destination, it's just like a map navigation system! Besides, these two Desert Island Smart Navigation Maps really do record the same island."

Comparing the two navigation maps in his hands, Su Yu didn't feel particularly frustrated. After all, the effect of the Double Happiness talent was to duplicate the identical item found in a treasure chest, so it naturally wouldn't change the nature of the duplicated item itself.

Holding the two navigation maps, Su Yu no longer had any interest in fishing.

He immediately called out to the few Goblins, "You lot, come over here."

Hearing Su Yu's command, the Goblins dropped their work and rushed directly in front of him.

"You two, get on the speedboat." Glancing at the four Goblins before him, Su Yu made his arrangements.

Soon, the two Goblins that Su Yu had first opened from a treasure chest quickly climbed onto the Common Speedboat docked at the edge of the island.

This speedboat was something Su Yu had traded from that guy Wang Teng.

After the trade, Su Yu hadn't tinkered with it much; he had simply filled it with Gasoline and let the two Goblins mess around with it.

As it turned out, these two Goblins had a bit of a knack for mechanics. After cautiously exploring for about an hour, the two of them were able to get the thing running.

However, at the beginning, the two Goblins didn't dare to drive it too fast; they only dared to carefully cruise around a short distance from the island for a minute or two before immediately returning.

At this moment, Su Yu stepped onto the speedboat as well.

"Start the engine and follow my instructions." Scanning the nearby sea and finding no unusual movements, Su Yu commanded the two Goblins in a deep voice.

Upon receiving Su Yu's order, the two Goblins naturally started the speedboat without delay.

"Head in this direction." After glancing at the Desert Island Smart Navigation Map in his hand, Su Yu pointed in a specific direction.

Following Su Yu's instructions, the two Goblins began to drive the speedboat toward the direction he had indicated.

As for Su Yu, he sat on the speedboat's seat, observing the nearby sea while keeping an eye on the smart navigation map in his hand.

[There is a Sea Monkey five meters below the surface of the water behind you, please be alert.]

Just as Su Yu scanned the sea behind him, a notification from his Insight Talent suddenly floated before his eyes.

So, now that I've left the island's protection period, this thing wants to attack me, the thought couldn't help but cross Su Yu's mind.

"Increase speed." Seeing the Sea Monkey from the Insight Talent notification constantly closing in on the speedboat, Su Yu ordered the two Goblins in a stern voice.

Hearing their master's command, the two Goblins didn't hesitate and immediately increased the speed of the speedboat.

One must know that the speed of a Common Speedboat is generally 40-60 knots, which is equivalent to 74-111 kilometers per hour. At this speed, a common humanoid creature like a Sea Monkey couldn't catch up even if it used all its might in the water.

Soon, the Insight Talent notification regarding the Sea Monkey disappeared from before Su Yu's eyes. He didn't know if the creature had been shaken off or if it had dived into deeper waters. Su Yu remained slightly cautious, but he didn't take the Sea Monkey too much to heart.

About four minutes later, Su Yu saw a small island not far away, just like his own starting island.

After another half minute, Su Yu finally arrived at the edge of this desolate, uninhabited island on his Speedboat.

After having the two Goblins secure the Speedboat with some gear, Su Yu stepped directly onto the deserted island.

[Level 1 Desert Island]

Description: A deserted island left behind due to the death of its owner. There is an Island Heart at the center of the island. It poses no threat and can be taken directly.

Note: Once the Island Heart is removed, the island will crumble and sink into the sea after one minute. It is recommended to leave quickly after taking the Island Heart.

Looking at the island up close, detailed information about this place appeared before Su Yu's eyes.

Following Su Yu's gaze, he saw that on this ownerless, deserted island, there remained a collapsed Thatched Cottage.

Judging by the traces, this doesn't look like it was left a day or two ago. Could it be that before this, other creatures or humans from other worlds were sent to this world?

Looking at the traces of the previous island owner's life on the island, Su Yu couldn't help but have some speculations.

Just as Su Yu was pondering, in the waters some distance away from this deserted island, a Sea Monkey that had been shaken off was struggling to swim toward Su Yu's location.

This guy is truly a paragon of perseverance! Even after being left so far behind, it still hasn't given up.

"Forget it, let's get the Island Heart first!" After scanning the area and finding nothing else, Su Yu walked directly toward the center of the desert island.

And this central location was exactly where the collapsed Thatched Cottage stood.

When Su Yu approached the collapsed Thatched Cottage, he discovered that the wood used to build it had scratches that looked like they were made by the sharp claws of a beast.

This poor soul, he wasn't dragged away by a Sea Monkey, was he? Seeing the deep scratches on the wood, Su Yu couldn't help but guess.

Shaking his head to push these thoughts aside, Su Yu started moving the wood left on the ground.

With Su Yu's physique and strength, the small amount of wood was tossed aside easily. When the debris was completely cleared away, a pale yellow, crystal-like object appeared before Su Yu's eyes.

[Level 1 Island Heart]

Description: An Island Heart naturally gestated by the island after the island owner's death. The Island Heart exists for half a year; if it remains uncollected within that time, it will shatter into Island Fragments and sink into the sea.

Function: The owner can integrate it into their own island to expand its surface area.

After seeing the prompt information for the Island Heart, Su Yu didn't dawdle and reached out to grab it.

As soon as he picked up the Island Heart, Su Yu realized it was quite heavy, weighing at least a hundred pounds. If his strength and physique hadn't been significantly improved, he might not have been able to carry it away so easily.

After picking up the Island Heart, Su Yu quickly ran back toward the direction of the Speedboat.

After all, once the Island Heart is moved, the island will crumble in one minute, and he didn't want to get caught in the resulting vortex.
