[Century-Old Ice Silkworm Silk]

As for Su Yu, he had now gone into the Small Wooden Cabin and dug out the Thorn Fence Construction Blueprint, along with the thorn materials still tucked away in a treasure chest.

Holding the two things, he left the Small Wooden Cabin and immediately opened the chest containing the thorn materials.

Thanks to his Double Happiness Talent, Su Yu successfully obtained 100 portions of thorn materials.

Then, looking at the Thorn Fence Construction Blueprint in his hand and the pile of thorn materials beside him, Su Yu casually laid the blueprint on top of the thorns and silently thought, Use.

[ Ding! Please select a location to place the Thorn Fence. ]

As Su Yu silently used the Thorn Fence Construction Blueprint, a prompt sounded beside his ear, asking where he wanted to place the fence.

Having done this before, Su Yu immediately selected a spot for the Thorn Fence.

Then he witnessed a scene just like when he had built the Wooden Cabin, except that this time, the wood was replaced with thorns.

About a minute later, as the final flash of white light faded, a two-meter-high Thorn Fence now enclosed a 10-by-10 area on Su Yu's island.

Honestly, Su Yu felt that the Thorn Fence probably wouldn't do much against creatures like Sea Monkeys. The things were covered in scales, making it very hard for thorns to pierce them. On the other hand, the fence might work pretty well against other creatures.

Shaking his head, Su Yu walked to the gate in the Thorn Fence and pushed it open. Now that he had a fence, he would have to use the front or back gate to come and go.

Meanwhile, the Goblins Su Yu had sent to wash the Speedboat and retrieve the Sea Monkey Corpse returned to the island.

Seeing the new structure on the island, confusion clearly filled the eyes of several Goblins. They hadn't paid any attention to what was happening on the island, so they hadn't seen the Thorn Fence being built.

Fortunately, Su Yu had already picked up his Fishing Rod and pushed open the gate to come back out.

"Master, the Speedboat is all clean." Seeing Su Yu, the two Goblins rushed over to him as if they'd found their anchor.

"Master, we've retrieved that thing's corpse, but we don't know where its head went." The two Goblins Su Yu had assigned to retrieve the Sea Monkey's body also squeezed over and pointed to the remains lying on the shore nearby.

Su Yu nodded and quickly walked over to the Sea Monkey's body.

[Sea Monkey Corpse]

Description: A corpse with no signs of life. Not fit for consumption. Recommended for use as flower fertilizer.

After looking at the Sea Monkey Corpse on the ground, Su Yu saw the relevant information about it appear before his eyes.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yu glanced at the Man-eating Flower nearby. Thanks to the Plant Growth Acceleration Potion, it was almost mature and ready to bloom. He waved to the Goblins and said, "Take this thing and throw it under the roots of that Man-eating Flower over there."

Since his Insight Talent had recommended using the Sea Monkey Corpse as flower fertilizer, Su Yu naturally decided to follow its advice.

After giving the Goblins their orders, Su Yu picked up his Fishing Rod again and began searching along the island's edge for a fishing spot.

The Goblins, meanwhile, worked together to carry the Sea Monkey Corpse toward the Man-eating Flowers.

The two Man-eating Flowers Su Yu had planted earlier were on opposite sides of the island, one in the east and the other in the west. They happened to be growing beside the Thorn Fence.

Soon, the Goblins carried the Sea Monkey Corpse to the roots of a Man-eating Flower and dropped it there before backing away.

Then the roots of the not-yet-blooming Man-eating Flower began to move. Several thick roots plunged into the Sea Monkey's body, and it started devouring the corpse as if it were drinking from a bottle.

The sight made the Goblins' scalps crawl. They hurriedly put some distance between themselves and the plant.

If Su Yu had been nearby, he would have noticed that the eastern Man-eating Flower, after absorbing the Sea Monkey Corpse, had slightly better attributes than the one in the west.

Su Yu, meanwhile, was busy searching for places to fish and spots to cast his net.

[Below this stretch of sea, ☆ and ★ Common Wooden Treasure Chests are plentiful. Casting a net or fishing is not recommended.]

[Below this stretch of sea, ★★ Common Wooden Treasure Chests are plentiful. Casting a net or fishing is recommended.]

After searching around, Su Yu finally found a spot to cast his net. As for fishing, he wasn't very interested in catching Two-star Wooden Treasure Chests anymore.

Su Yu had his sights set on Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chests now. He still had several portions of enhanced bait, enough to give it a few more tries.

[There are signs of a five-star treasure chest five meters below the surface. Fishing is recommended.]

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

He baited the hook, cast his line, and waited for the bait to sink. There was no other way; that was just how fishing worked.

Fortunately, since Su Yu was fishing at a fixed spot, he didn't have to wait long before the Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest below took the bait.

After all this time using Insight, Su Yu had realized that high-star treasure chests stayed with chests of the same rank. They basically never appeared alongside lower-ranked chests.

At least, that had been true of all the Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chests Su Yu had spotted so far.

As for two-star chests and below, they were a mixed bag. Sometimes an area was packed with half-star and one-star chests, with only a few two-star ones scattered around. Other places were crowded with two-star chests, with just a few half-star and one-star chests mixed in.

[★★★★★ 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 line. It can be paired with a 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; exceptionally strong load-bearing capacity.

"Nice, that's the second upgrade material." Seeing what was inside the Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest he had hooked, Su Yu perked up.

Upgrading his Fishing Rod sooner rather than later would be a major advantage.

For one thing, when fishing for Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chests, Su Yu wouldn't have to reel them in so gingerly. He could just haul them up by brute force, without worrying about snapping the rod or breaking the line.

Also, if he happened to get Black Iron-grade bait, he could try fishing for even higher-level Black Iron-grade treasure chests.
