The two goblins that had appeared on the island were instantly filled with fanaticism the moment they saw Su Yu, immediately prostrating themselves on the ground and attempting to kiss his shoes.

Su Yu moved his feet away in utter disgust, then said in a deep voice, "The two of you, go use that timber to build me a wooden bed, a wooden table, and some wooden stools."

"The servants understand." Upon hearing Su Yu's words, the two goblins nodded their heads rapidly.

With a loyalty of one hundred, it meant that with just a single word from Su Yu, these two Low-level Goblins could jump into the sea, unable to defy any of his demands.

Soon, each goblin, carrying their own Broadsword, ran toward the pile of timber.

[Ding, your Island Prosperity has increased. You are currently ranked first in this region. Please keep up the effort; remaining on the list for six hours will grant you the number one ranking privilege.]

Su Yu, who had just waved his hand to send the two goblins to work, suddenly heard another notification sound beside his ear.

"Oh?" Hearing the content of this notification, Su Yu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

At the same time, because Su Yu was the first to break the Island Prosperity value past the zero threshold, the Communication Channel was once again buzzing with heated discussion about this matter.

Right then, a regional ranking list appeared before Su Yu's eyes.

[Regional Prosperity Ranking]

First Place: [Su Yu] Prosperity 10 points - (Time on list 00:00:25).

Second Place: None.

Third Place: None.

Seeing this situation, Su Yu shifted his thoughts and directly pulled up his Personal Attribute Panel.

[Regional Communication Channel][Regional Trading Channel][Regional Prosperity Ranking List].

The number of living beings on the island had increased, which is why the Island Prosperity had risen; after seeing his personal panel, Su Yu immediately realized the reason.

At the same time, Su Yu sank his consciousness into the Communication Channel, wanting to see the reactions of others.

"Holy crap, the Regional Prosperity Ranking List has opened! Will the big shot in first place please say something!"

"Begging the big shot to tell us how to increase Island Prosperity."

As soon as he entered the Communication Channel, Su Yu saw many people flattering him, but he felt absolutely nothing toward it.

However, for the sake of future trading development, Su Yu didn't act aloof. These pieces of information were trivial anyway, and given Su Yu's speed of development, no one in this region could possibly catch up to his island's construction pace.

Thinking of this, Su Yu typed out a bunch of text in a flurry.

"Island Prosperity is closely related to the number of living beings and the structures on the island. You'll find out once you use some materials to build a shelter like a Thatched Cottage."

After Su Yu sent the message, a chorus of thanks immediately floated across the Communication Channel.

"Many thanks for the info, big shot! Do you need black silk stockings?"

"Big shot in first place, please spare a drop of water; I haven't had a drink all morning."

While there were those expressing gratitude, there were even more people playing the victim. Su Yu ignored those playing the victim entirely, as he simply couldn't help them.

Giving his own rations to others was something Su Yu felt he couldn't do; whoever wanted to do that could go ahead.

Looking at the meaningless information in the Communication Channel, Su Yu clicked directly into the Trading Channel.

After a period of brewing, Su Yu felt that there should be some tradable items in there by now.

Clicking inside, Su Yu discovered that there were quite a few people posting trade information here.

[Wang**]

Items for trade: Five porcelain bowls.

Items wanted: Two bottles of water or two bags of instant noodles.

[Zhou**]

Items for trade: Five units of wood.

Items wanted: One bottle of water or one piece of bread.

[Li**]

Items for trade: Ten units of wood.

Items wanted: Cold medicine and one bottle of water or bread.

After scanning the trade information posted by everyone in the Trading Channel, Su Yu realized that most of them were looking to buy water and food.

And the item being sold the most was none other than wood.

However, after organizing the items in his possession, Su Yu immediately realized that he was exceptionally poor at the moment.

Damn it, I hope I can fish up some tradable items later. Realizing he was dirt poor right now, Su Yu immediately exited the Trading Channel and honestly began to fish.

After Su Yu exited the Trading Channel, someone began frantically sweeping up the trade listings that were asking for water.

Wang Teng, who was currently on his own island, felt that the heavens were still very kind to him; he had just fished up a large red plastic bucket when, the very next second, it started to rain.

Without a shelter, Wang Teng immediately hugged the plastic bucket tightly, terrified that the wind might blow it away.

The rain came and went just as quickly, and in the end, Wang Teng's large plastic bucket only collected half a bucket of water, but this half-bucket of water was enough for Wang Teng to start buying things.

After all, at this time, water was a resource; the seawater surrounding the island couldn't be drunk, so having this much water in the early stages made Wang Teng practically a tycoon!

However, since one could only trade ten times a day, Wang Teng began to carefully select items in the Trading Channel rather than just sweeping up everything like a hoarder.

As for Su Yu, who had exited the Trading Channel, he had just cast his line when he noticed the float sink; as he reached out to tug on the fishing rod, a look of disappointment couldn't help but appear on his face.

There was no resistance from beneath the water at all; it looked like it was just another Common Wooden Treasure Chest.

When Su Yu exerted force, the treasure chest from beneath the water was dragged directly onto the shore.

Without even looking at the chest's information, Su Yu chose to open it immediately.

[Ding, you have opened a Common Wooden Treasure Chest, Double Happiness talent triggered, you have obtained 1 box (50 count) of Windproof Lighter *2.]

"Nice!"

Seeing what had come out of the treasure chest, Su Yu immediately felt that he finally had items to trade.

"After all, everyone needs to find a way to get something to start a fire, right? It's not like everyone can just rub sticks together to make fire!"
