"There's really a feature like that?" After hearing the notification, Su Yu immediately chose to create a five-person private room.
At the same time, Wang Teng, Ji Qingrou, and the others heard a slightly different notification.
[ Ding! Survivor Su Yu has created a five-person private room. Would you like to join? ]
"Yes, yes, yes." The moment he heard Su Yu's name, Wang Teng didn't bother thinking twice and quickly selected yes.
Ji Qingrou, Zhou Yi, and another young woman named Li Xuan also accepted.
"Go on, what do you want from me?" Su Yu, now the room's host, sent a message in the private room channel.
The four people who saw Su Yu's message didn't hurry to explain why they'd contacted him. Instead, they fell into thought. They'd wanted to talk to Su Yu privately, not in a chat room like this where everyone could see.
In the end, Wang Teng was the first to lose patience and sent Su Yu a message.
"Big shot, could you tell me how to kill a Sea Monkey? I'm willing to pay for a consultation."
The other three people in the five-person room saw that Wang Teng had asked the question first, so they quickly chimed in.
"Mr. Su, I had the same thought. I'm willing to pay for advice on how to kill a Sea Monkey."
"Me too."
"+1."
Do these guys really think I used some special method to kill a Sea Monkey? Seeing them all ask the same question, Su Yu was at a loss for words.
"I killed the Sea Monkey with a single slash. There was no special method, so you're asking the wrong person." After thinking it over, Su Yu sent them a reply.
Then Su Yu left the five-person room without another word. He'd thought they'd formed a group to contact him about something important, but it turned out to be this.
As soon as Su Yu left the room, the host position passed to Wang Teng. Zhou Yi and the other three didn't leave immediately, instead falling silent.
In the end, Ji Qingrou was the one who broke the silence.
"My intuition tells me Su Yu wasn't lying. He really did kill a Sea Monkey with one slash, without using any special method."
Wang Teng: "Holy crap, has the gap between people really gotten this big?"
Zhou Yi: "Based on what Su Yu revealed, Sea Monkeys aren't that terrifying. As long as we're careful, killing one shouldn't be too difficult. Attribute Potions and other items can improve our strength, and we all have talents, too. I'm sure we'll be fine."
Li Xuan: "Brother Zhou is right."
Not caring how the other four reacted after he left the room, Su Yu finished the steak in his bowl, then polished off half a watermelon with a spoon and washed it down with a bottle of soda. No one else had it this good. They were all struggling to survive, while Su Yu was practically on vacation.
After eating his fill, Su Yu climbed onto the roof of the vehicle and lay down lazily. It was still early, and he wasn't sleepy yet. With his hands behind his head, he gazed up at the night sky over the sea, his thoughts drifting off somewhere unknown.
He didn't know how long had passed when a piercing sound interrupted his thoughts.
[ Warning, warning. Unknown life form detected to the southeast. ]
The sudden alert made Su Yu jolt where he lay on the roof.
Once he came to his senses, Su Yu leapt off the roof and sprinted toward the southeast, beyond the Thorn Fence.
The Goblins who were still awake swarmed after him.
Su Yu had just reached the island's southeastern edge when, by the light of the Solar Lamps and the moon, he spotted another Sea Monkey on the surface of the water, glaring at him with a savage expression.
[Female Sea Monkey]
Strength: 4
Constitution: 4
Spirit: 1.1
Introduction: Stronger than male Sea Monkeys, with a weaker sense of pain. One of the monsters new Survivors may face after their seven-day protection period.
Note: This monster is currently extremely hostile toward you. Directly eliminate it.
Combat assessment: With a blade in hand, killing it will be as easy as killing a chicken.
The moment Su Yu saw the Sea Monkey on the water, not even trying to dive beneath the surface, information about it appeared before his eyes.
Could the one I killed this afternoon have been its mate? Su Yu wasn't particularly nervous. Instead, he began to speculate.
The female Sea Monkey, with half its body out of the water, looked ready to devour Su Yu alive. Every so often, it let out a piercing cry. If not for the island's mysterious protective power, it would probably have charged ashore already.
"You want to kill me? Here's your chance." After seeing how hostile the creature was, Su Yu muttered to himself, gripped the Hundred-Refined Goose-Quill Saber, and began walking around the island's edge.
The Sea Monkey in the water kept its eyes fixed on Su Yu as it followed him along the shore.
Su Yu soon reached the Speedboat beside which he'd killed the other Sea Monkey that afternoon, and jumped aboard.
That got the female Sea Monkey in the water worked up. Its simple mind couldn't think too much; thoughts of slaughter filled it almost entirely. Such was the mission—and fate—of its kind.
Watching the waves rise in the sea, Su Yu stood motionless on the Speedboat, saber in hand.
With his Insight Talent, there was no chance the female Sea Monkey could sneak up on him, even if it dove underwater. Its only option was to face him head-on.
Then came the sound of something breaking the surface. A large Sea Monkey leapt high out of the water, looking overwhelmingly imposing in the moonlight.
The Hundred-Refined Goose-Quill Saber in Su Yu's hand caught the moonlight, a faint glimmer of cold steel visible along its edge.
As the Sea Monkey pounced at him, Su Yu gripped the saber in one hand and swung upward in a single slash.
In an instant, the two collided at incredible speed. But this time, Su Yu didn't kill it in one blow. The Sea Monkey actually managed to block his slash.
Perhaps it had sensed that its life was in danger, or perhaps something else had happened. In mid-pounce, the Sea Monkey raised both hands to shield its front, so Su Yu's slash failed to kill the slightly frenzied creature outright.
