Century-Old Ice Silkworm Silk

As for Su Yu, he walked into the Small Wooden Cabin and dug out the Thorn Fence Construction Blueprint, along with the thorn materials he hadn't yet retrieved from a treasure chest.

Taking these two items, he walked out of the Small Wooden Cabin and immediately opened the chest containing the thorn materials.

Under the effect of his Double Happiness talent, Su Yu successfully harvested 100 units of thorn materials.

Looking at the Thorn Fence Construction Blueprint in his hand and the pile of thorn materials beside him, Su Yu placed the blueprint onto the thorns and silently recited "use" in his heart.

[Ding, please select the placement location for the Thorn Fence.]

As Su Yu silently recited the command to use the Thorn Fence Construction Blueprint, a prompt regarding the placement point echoed in his ears.

Having gained experience from before, Su Yu directly selected the construction site for the Thorn Fence.

He then witnessed the same scene as when he built the wooden cabin, only this time, the wood was replaced by thorns.

About a minute later, accompanied by a final flash of white light, a 10x10, two-meter-high Thorn Fence appeared on Su Yu's island, encircling the area.

To be honest, Su Yu felt that this Thorn Fence wouldn't be very effective against creatures like Sea Monkeys; after all, those guys were covered in scales that the thorns would find hard to pierce. Conversely, the fence might be quite effective at keeping out other types of creatures.

Shaking his head, Su Yu walked to the gate of the Thorn Fence, pushed it open, and stepped inside. Now that there was a fence, he would have to use the front or back gate to enter and exit from now on.

At the same time, the Goblins sent to wash the Speedboat and those responsible for salvaging the Sea Monkey Corpse returned to the island.

Seeing the new addition to the island, a look of confusion clearly appeared in the eyes of the Goblins. They hadn't paid any attention to the activity on the island earlier, so naturally, they hadn't seen the construction process of the Thorn Fence.

Fortunately, by this time, Su Yu had already grabbed his Fishing Rod and pushed open the gate to walk back out.

"Master, the Speedboat has been cleaned." Seeing Su Yu appear, the two Goblins rushed toward him as if they had found their backbone.

"Master, the corpse of that thing has been salvaged, though I don't know where the head went." The two Goblins assigned to salvage the Sea Monkey Corpse also squeezed over, pointing to the body lying on the shore not far away.

Hearing this, Su Yu nodded slightly and walked quickly toward the location of the Sea Monkey Corpse.

[Sea Monkey Corpse]

Description: A corpse with no vital signs. It has no nutritional value; it is recommended to be used as plant fertilizer.

As Su Yu looked at the Sea Monkey Corpse on the ground, the relevant information regarding the corpse floated before his eyes.

After a moment of thought, Su Yu glanced not far away at the Man-eating Flower, which was nearing maturity and ready to bloom under the effect of the Plant Growth Acceleration Potion. He waved his hand to signal the Goblins: "Throw this thing under the roots of the Man-eating Flower over there."

Since his Insight Talent had suggested that the Sea Monkey Corpse should be used as fertilizer, Su Yu naturally followed the advice of his talent.

After giving instructions to the Goblins, Su Yu picked up his Fishing Rod again and began to circle the edge of the island, looking for a fishing spot.

As for the Goblins, they worked together to carry the Sea Monkey Corpse toward the Man-eating Flower.

The two Man-eating Flowers Su Yu had planted earlier were located on the east and west sides of the island, respectively, and were currently positioned right next to the Thorn Fence.

Soon, several Goblins carried the Sea Monkey Corpse to the roots of the Man-eating Flower. After dropping the body, the Goblins retreated immediately.

Then, the roots of the yet-to-fully-bloom Man-eating Flower began to move. Several thick roots plunged directly into the body of the Sea Monkey, and like someone drinking a beverage, it began to devour the corpse.

The sight made the scalps of the Goblins tingle, and they quickly distanced themselves from the area.

If Su Yu had been nearby, he likely would have discovered that this Man-eating Flower on the east side, having consumed the Sea Monkey Corpse, had slightly better attributes than the one on the west side.

At this moment, Su Yu was busy searching for fishing spots and locations to cast his net.

[Below the sea surface here, there are mostly ☆ and ★ Common Wooden Treasure Chests. Casting a net or fishing is not recommended.]

[Below the sea surface here, there are mostly ★★ Common Wooden Treasure Chests. Casting a net or fishing is recommended.]

After this search, Su Yu finally found a spot to cast his net. As for fishing, Su Yu no longer had much interest in fishing for Two-star Wooden Treasure Chests.

Currently, Su Yu's fishing targets were all locked onto Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chests. In any case, he still had a few portions of enhanced bait left, enough to keep him busy for a few more tries.

[5 meters below the sea surface here, there is a trace of a Five-Star Treasure Chest. Fishing is recommended.]

After casting his net, Su Yu wandered around for a while longer until he finally found a suitable spot.

He hooked the bait and cast the line. Once the bait entered the water, he entered the waiting phase; there was no helping it, that was just how fishing went.

Fortunately, since Su Yu was fishing at a fixed point, it didn't take long before the Five-Star Treasure Chest at the bottom of the water took the bait.

Through many uses of Insight, Su Yu had discovered that high-star treasure chests, aside from staying with chests of the same star level, basically did not mix with lower-star chests.

At least, that was the case for all the Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chests Su Yu had observed so far.

As for those of two stars and below, they were a mixed bag. Sometimes a place would be crowded with half-star and one-star chests with only scattered two-star ones, while other places would be crowded with two-star chests with only scattered half-star and one-star chests.

[★★★★★ Common Wooden Treasure Chest]

Description: Contains one portion of Century-Old Ice Silkworm Silk.

[Century-Old Ice Silkworm Silk]

Description: An excellent material for making fishing lines. It can be used in conjunction with the Black Iron Grade Fishing Rod Upgrade Blueprint to upgrade a Common Fishing Rod into a Black Iron Grade Fishing Rod.

Material Properties: Resistant to high and low temperatures, extremely high load-bearing capacity.

"Not bad, the second upgrade material." Seeing the item hidden inside the Five-Star Treasure Chest he had just reeled in, Su Yu felt a surge of energy.

Because if he could upgrade his fishing rod sooner, it would be of great benefit to him.

First of all, if he were fishing for Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chests, Su Yu wouldn't have to carefully tug and pull; he could just drag them in with brute force, without worrying about the rod snapping or the line breaking.

Furthermore, if he happened to obtain Black Iron Grade bait, Su Yu could even attempt to fish for higher-level Black Iron Grade treasure chests.
