However, before figuring out a way to kill the Sea Monkey, Su Yu shifted his thoughts and directly pulled up his Personal Attribute Panel.

[Level 2 Island Master]~Island Area: 241㎡ Upgrade Experience: 241/400. Name: Su Yu. Age: 23. Strength: 6.8+(2.41) Constitution: 7+(2.41) Spirit: 4.4+(2.41) Slaves: Four Low-level Goblins (+20 Island Prosperity) Note: Values in parentheses are attribute bonuses granted to the Island Master while on their own island; these bonuses are nullified upon leaving the island. Island Prosperity: 750 points (Regional Rank 1)~(Wooden Cabin 10 points, Goblins 20 points, Sapling 15 points, Fertile Soil 20 points, Man-eating Flower 10 points..) Talents: SSS-rank Insight Talent, Unknown-rank Talent (Double Happiness)-Upgradable. [Regional Communication Channel][Regional Trading Channel][Regional Island Prosperity Ranking].

"Holy crap, the efficacy of this Marrow Cleansing Pill is fierce; it actually broke through the base attribute limit of five directly." Seeing his own attributes, Su Yu immediately felt that the Marrow Cleansing Pill was incredibly awesome.

"Right, I think I still have orders up for attribute potions." Thinking of this, Su Yu clicked directly into the Trading Channel and canceled the buy orders for Strength Attribute Potion and Constitution Attribute Potion, leaving only the buy orders for Spirit Attribute Potion and Island Fragment.

At the same time, the Communication Channel was in an uproar, because just a moment ago, someone discovered something outrageous: the person at rank one had their Island Prosperity jump by five hundred points all at once.

So, one can imagine how the majority of survivors in the Communication Channel were reacting at this moment.

"Holy crap, what kind of insane item did the big boss at rank one get? Their Island Prosperity just skyrocketed by five hundred points, that's just absurd!"

"Is this the gap between people?"

"Confirmed, the big boss at rank one is definitely cheating. He's not playing on the same survival server as us; this is definitely a private server!"

"Big boss, do you still need a hanger-on?"

"Envy is making me fall apart."

Meanwhile, Wang Teng and Ji Qingrou, who had traded with Su Yu, couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in their hearts as they saw Su Yu far ahead of everyone else on the Regional Island Prosperity Ranking.

"With this pervert dominating the top spot, who could possibly knock him down!"

At this moment, not only were Wang Teng and Ji Qingrou silent, but the rest of the survivors near the top of the rankings also fell into silence one after another.

They say a soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier; the other survivors are the same, surely coveting the benefits that come with being number one on the regional leaderboard!

Previously, although Su Yu held the top spot and his island's Prosperity Value was significantly ahead of theirs, many survivors still felt in their hearts that they had a chance to surpass Su Yu and take first place.

But now, many of them have been dealt a direct blow.

"Damn it, it's not that I'm not putting in the effort, it's that the guy is using cheats! Who can compete with that?"

As for Su Yu, who was being discussed by numerous survivors, he didn't bother clicking into the Communication Channel at this moment. Without even thinking, Su Yu knew that the massive change in his Prosperity Value would surely attract a lot of attention, so he couldn't be bothered to check the channel.

After all, the others were currently who knows how many miles away, and there was no point in showing off across the light screen.

Right now, Su Yu was thinking about how to lure the Sea Monkey from beneath the sea surface up to the top, and then hack it to death with a single strike.

After some thought, Su Yu had a Goblin bring over a piece of raw meat, tied it with a rope, and tossed it into the area where the Sea Monkey was located.

Su Yu himself gripped his Hundred-Refined Goose-Quill Saber and jumped onto the Speedboat.

As long as he stayed on the island and the protection force hadn't dissipated, the creature definitely wouldn't come out, so Su Yu had no choice but to head to the Speedboat to lure it out himself.

To be honest, with Su Yu's current physique and strength, plus the Water-Avoiding Bead in hand, even if he went into the water to fight the Sea Monkey, the creature would likely be the one to meet its end.

But he preferred not to take risks if he didn't have to, so Su Yu remained quite cautious.

At this moment, beneath the surface where Su Yu had thrown the raw meat, the Sea Monkey felt instantly humiliated upon seeing the meat floating above its head, so it quickly swam toward the surface.

Furthermore, the Sea Monkey could already sense that the two-legged beast had left the small island, meaning it was time to strike.

As for Su Yu, under the prompt of his Insight Talent, the figure of the Sea Monkey beneath the water couldn't hide at all.

Accompanied by a sound of breaking water and a piercing shriek, the Sea Monkey lunged out of the water, pouncing toward Su Yu.

At this moment, a faint look of excitement could be seen on the Sea Monkey's hideous face, but the very next second, that excitement turned into bewilderment.

It turned out that, prompted by his Insight Talent, Su Yu had perceived the Sea Monkey's trajectory the moment it moved. Thus, the instant the creature burst from the water to pounce on him, Su Yu swung his blade.

In the blink of an eye, the Sea Monkey, still mid-air, was decapitated by Su Yu's strike; the expression on its hideous face before death turned completely blank.

This is different from what the elders in the clan said! What happened to the weak two-legged beast? With this final thought flashing through its mind, the Sea Monkey's severed head and body fell back into the ocean, and a patch of blood instantly bloomed on the surface.

"Damn, I still got the boat dirty." Su Yu curled his lip in disgust as he glanced at the Speedboat splattered with blood.

Su Yu wasn't sure if it was because of his high mental strength or because he had already become desensitized after experiencing death, but having just decapitated the Sea Monkey, he felt like he had just killed a chicken—he didn't feel the slightest bit of nausea.

"Looks like I overthought it; I actually expected to kill a monster and get a treasure chest!" Having heard no system prompts, Su Yu jumped back onto the island, feeling somewhat depressed.

As for the blood on the Speedboat, the Goblins would naturally wash it off later.

"Maybe I should fish that guy's body up and take a look later." Suddenly, having reached the island, a somewhat twisted thought popped into Su Yu's mind.

After a moment of consideration, Su Yu gave an order to a few Goblins, telling them to clean the Speedboat while also fishing up the Sea Monkey's carcass.

Once Su Yu gave the order, the Goblins nimbly grabbed their tools and got to work; soon, two Goblins were responsible for washing the Speedboat, while two others were tasked with salvaging the Sea Monkey's body, everything arranged perfectly.
