However, Su Yu still had to figure out a way to deal with the shortage of Enhanced Bait in his hands.

Compared to the Common Bait he had, Su Yu only had three portions of Enhanced Bait left; once he finished using them, he would be out.

Afterward, while pondering and reeling in his Fishing Rod, Su Yu first pulled the five-star treasure chest containing the Century-Old Ice Silkworm Silk onto the shore.

Since he hadn't gathered all the materials to upgrade his Fishing Rod yet, Su Yu chose not to open the chest immediately and placed it to the side instead.

[Ding, your trade item has been sold. Please choose to claim your item: one 20ml Spirit Attribute Potion.]

Just as Su Yu was about to move to a new spot to fish, a notification from the Trading Channel made him pause.

Because last night, Su Yu had only managed to acquire one 20ml Strength Attribute Potion and one +1 Island Fragment, and those trade listings had remained stagnant even after he went out to retrieve the Island Heart and became a Level 2 Island Lord.

Therefore, after consuming the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Su Yu quickly canceled the two purchase orders for Strength and Constitution Attribute Potions to avoid being stuck with inventory he couldn't use.

In fact, when Su Yu canceled the purchase orders for the Strength and Constitution Attribute Potions, two or three survivors who had the items in their possession were practically turning green with regret.

The reason they hadn't traded them earlier was that they saw no one else trading and wanted to wait for Su Yu to voluntarily raise the price; as it turned out, they didn't get a price hike, but they did get a delisting, which was quite frustrating.

No one expected that Su Yu would stop buying so quickly.

To be honest, even Su Yu hadn't expected it, let alone the others.

As for not stacking his personal attributes to five points with potions before taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Su Yu felt there was absolutely no need for that.

After all, his Insight Talent had already indicated that the efficacy of the Marrow Cleansing Pill depended on the user's personal physique, which meant that the stronger the user's physique, the more the efficacy would be discounted, so it was better to use it sooner rather than later.

In any case, items opened from a Level 2 Upgrade Treasure Chest would only become more useless if left for the later stages.

"Claim." At this moment, Su Yu chose to claim the Spirit Attribute Potion, and in an instant, a 20ml bottle of Spirit Attribute Potion appeared in his hand.

After casually pulling out the stopper, Su Yu downed it in one gulp. In his opinion, this Spirit Potion was refreshing and stimulating; the sensation was just like drinking a bottle of ice-cold cola in the middle of summer.

"This time it didn't feel as good as the last; it seems that as my spirit attribute increases, my drug resistance has also gone up." Three minutes later, having recovered from the rush of the spirit potion, Su Yu muttered to himself.

"Forget it, let's see if those guys in the Trading Channel have added any new items." After muttering, Su Yu couldn't be bothered to fish for the moment and clicked directly into the Trading Channel.

[Wang**]

Trade Item: One Single-Person Tent.

Wanted Item: Fifteen portions of wood.

[Zhou**]

Trade Item: One pack of Liqun Cigarettes.

Wanted Item: 1kg of instant food.

As soon as Su Yu entered the Trading Channel, he discovered that apart from his own pinned trade listing, the first page was almost entirely filled with trade requests for food.

Without bothering to flip through the subsequent pages, Su Yu went straight to the search bar and began entering his search criteria.

[Enhanced Bait][Search]

No such item found.

Su Yu had first entered Enhanced Bait, and as expected, no one in the Trading Channel was currently selling this item.

[Common Energy Crystal][Search]

No such item found.

The search for Common Energy Crystal below also yielded nothing.

"It seems that once the utility of this item was made public, no one is willing to sell it for the time being." Seeing the information reappear on the light screen, Su Yu didn't feel particularly discouraged; after all, it was within his expectations.

After shaking his head slightly, Su Yu entered the information for the third item.

[Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest Fragment][Search]

Searching... Currently, only one survivor is selling this item.

[Shi**]

Trade Item: One Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest Fragment of unknown use.

Requested Items: 5kg of any food + one piece of cold-weather gear + ten units of wood.

The item Su Yu searched for this time finally had a seller, even if there was only one.

Glancing at the trade conditions set by the other party, Su Yu didn't hesitate. He quickly filled in the required trade items and tapped to purchase. After all, such a small amount of supplies was a drop in the bucket for him and was nowhere near as valuable as the utility the Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest Fragment provided to him.

[Ding, trade successful. Please select to retrieve the traded items.]

"Retrieve." After silently chanting the command to retrieve, a fragment of a Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest appeared before Su Yu's eyes.

[Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest Fragment]

Description: A fragment produced from the destruction of a Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest. Can be used in combination with items like Common Energy Crystals to craft Enhanced Bait.

Scanning the Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest Fragment before him, information regarding the item immediately surfaced before Su Yu's eyes.

To be honest, if he hadn't been able to obtain this item, Su Yu would have had to consider whether to violently destroy a Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest—forgoing the items inside—just to acquire this Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest Fragment.

As for the Common Energy Crystals, Su Yu still had some on hand. He hadn't used them all to craft Common Bait; he generally tasked a few Goblins to whip up some Common Bait whenever his supply was running low.

Soon, holding the Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest Fragment, Su Yu headed toward the direction of his Small Wooden Cabin.

Meanwhile, on another small island, a certain handsome guy who had been living meal-to-meal suddenly heard the notification sound of a successful trade ringing in his ears.

Good grief, it scared the living daylights out of him.

Once he realized what had happened, the survivor named Shi couldn't hide the look of excitement on his face.

After all, he had only uploaded one item for trade, which was a Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest Fragment he had opened from a treasure chest caught with today's Guaranteed Bait.

To be honest, when he first discovered that the item name in the chest started with "Five-Star," he felt a surge of excitement, thinking he was about to strike it rich.

But the very next second, it was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head; he had absolutely no idea what this Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest Fragment was for, because the thing was just a piece of wood. If it hadn't come from a Two-Star treasure chest, he would have thrown it away immediately.

Fortunately, he wasn't a fool. After referring to the current market prices of supplies obtained from various star-rated treasure chests in the Communication Channel, he had simply posted a trade listing on the Trading Channel to see if any big shot would be willing to pay for it.
