Another uninhabited deserted island?

Following a thunderous roar, a two-story Small Villa covering an area of one hundred square meters appeared exactly at the location Su Yu had designated.

Looking at the small building before him, Su Yu slowly stepped forward, pushed open the front door, and walked straight inside.

After wandering around the villa, Su Yu discovered that while there was no water or electricity for the time being, everything else was far superior to the Small Wooden Cabin.

Once he exited the villa, Su Yu instructed a few Goblins to move all the treasure chests into an empty room inside, then picked up his Fishing Rod again, preparing to head to the edge of the island to fish.

As for the Broadsword Skeletons and Bandaged Mummies, Su Yu arranged them around the villa to guard the safety of the Small Villa.

Meanwhile, when Su Yu's island Prosperity Value broke the 1,000 mark, the vast majority of survivors in the same region felt that while they were here to struggle for survival, someone else seemed to be here on vacation.

At this moment, Zhou Yi, who was second on the leaderboard, looked at his own Prosperity Value, which was still a tiny bit away from hitting 100, and then looked at Su Yu's island Prosperity Value of over 1,000, feeling somewhat speechless.

Additionally, in the Communication Channel, many people began chatting about the situation Su Yu had caused.

"I think the top-ranked big shot must have exploited a bug or found some loophole; otherwise, the accumulation speed of this island's Prosperity Value is just too terrifying! It went up by five hundred yesterday, and another three hundred plus today."

"What's the point of saying all that? Even if it is a bug, would they tell you?"

"Sigh, if I had started with a more powerful talent, I wouldn't have ended up in such a pathetic state."

"Brother, haven't you heard the saying: there are no useless talents, only useless people?"

"Then tell me, where is the comparability between an F-rank and an SSS-rank talent?"

Su Yu, who wasn't even checking the Communication Channel, was currently busy pinpointing treasure chests containing Common Energy Crystals.

Originally, Su Yu's stock of Common Energy Crystals was quite sufficient, but since he had just consumed twenty of them, he needed to restock.

[Five meters below the sea surface here, there is a Four-Star Common Wooden Treasure Chest containing an extremely sharp Decapitation Broadsword.]

[Five meters below the sea surface here, there is a Four-Star Common Wooden Treasure Chest containing eight Common Energy Crystals.]

After this round of searching, Su Yu ultimately failed to find a Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest containing Common Energy Crystals, finding only a Four-Star one.

Thus, settling for the next best thing, Su Yu decisively chose to cast his line; otherwise, if he waited any longer, this chest might drift away, rendering his efforts useless.

"Whoosh." Three minutes later, seeing the float sink, Su Yu decisively pulled the rod.

Good grief, this Four-Star Wooden Treasure Chest was whipped directly onto the island by Su Yu's forceful tug, offering absolutely no resistance.

[Ding, your Double Happiness talent has been triggered automatically. You have obtained 8 Common Energy Crystals * 2.]

After putting away the energy crystals, the next items Su Yu wanted to fish for, or rather catch, were the Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest fragments, as these were one of the essential components for crafting Enhanced Bait.

Then, after a long search, until his eyes felt a bit sore, he finally managed to obtain a few Five-Star Wooden Treasure Chest fragments by casting his net.

Of course, in the process, Su Yu also harvested quite a few other items, though they were basically just daily supplies or construction materials.

"Gurgle, gurgle." Just as Su Yu's stomach was issuing a strong protest, two heads suddenly popped out of the seawater, interrupting his plans to go grab a meal.

"Master, we discovered an uninhabited small island about two nautical miles to the northwest of this island. Its surface area is significantly smaller than the island you are currently on." The Jiaoren who had just surfaced quickly reported their discovery to Su Yu.

"An uninhabited small island?" Hearing the Jiaoren's report, Su Yu's heart rate accelerated significantly.

Having already tasted the sweetness of an Island Heart earlier, Su Yu was naturally very keen on finding another one.

"Are you certain it is uninhabited? Also, while you were in the water, did you discover any other creatures besides yourselves?" Su Yu was not blinded by joy at this moment; instead, he asked calmly.

"Master, that island is indeed a desolate, uninhabited island; we have already scouted it thoroughly. Furthermore, in the surrounding waters, we did not find any other creatures besides us—not even ordinary ones. It is as if it were a dead sea."

The Jiaoren reporting to Su Yu wore a strange expression, seemingly unable to fathom why there were no living creatures in those waters.

"There really aren't any creatures? That shouldn't be! What do those Sea Monkeys rely on to survive? It's not like they don't need to eat!"

"Could it be that they were teleported here from somewhere else on the same day we were?"

Su Yu couldn't help but have this thought suddenly pop into his mind.

Afterward, feeling a bit of a headache from overthinking, Su Yu decided not to dwell on it. After all, his Insight Talent hadn't been able to clearly discern the specific origins of those Sea Monkeys, so it would certainly be difficult to guess just by relying on his own intuition.

"The two of you go back to that desolate island. Bring back the heavy, earthy-yellow crystal located at the center of the island for me. Remember, once you get the crystal, return immediately. Do not linger in that place. Do you understand?" Su Yu instructed the two Jiaoren in the water.

"Understood." Having memorized their master's words, the two Jiaoren dived back into the water.

This time, Su Yu had no intention of going personally. Previously, he had been worried that the Goblins' combat power was too weak and that something might go wrong, which was why he had made the trip himself. Now, given that the Jiaoren's combat power in the water was fully capable of soloing Sea Monkeys, Su Yu was naturally too lazy to run the errand himself.

About seventeen or eighteen minutes later, the two Jiaoren Su Yu had sent out reappeared around the island.

Accompanied by the sound of water breaking, the two Jiaoren climbed onto the island. One of them was holding an earthy-yellow crystal in both hands while sitting on the back of the other, while the second Jiaoren used its hands to crawl rapidly toward Su Yu's location.

In response, the Broadsword Skeletons and Bandaged Mummies guarding the villa were just about to take action when they were immediately stopped by Su Yu.

"They're our own people, no need to attack."

Hearing this, the group of Broadsword Skeletons and Bandaged Mummies returned to their guard status.
