Level 3 Island

"Master, we got it." The other Jiaoren, who had hurried over to Su Yu, respectfully handed him the ochre crystal.

[Level 1 Island Heart]

Description: A crystal birthed by an island after the death of its owner, whose island had originally covered 105㎡. Using it would increase the area of your own island by 105㎡.

"Not bad. Well done. Take this food and share it among yourselves!" Su Yu took the Island Heart and glanced at its attributes. A smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you for the reward, Master." The two Jiaoren still beside Su Yu heard the word "food," and their eyes practically glowed green. There were no creatures in the sea for them to eat, so for the time being, they could only rely on Su Yu to provide their food.

The two Jiaoren quickly dragged a chunk of meat weighing more than ten pounds and sped back into the sea.

As for Su Yu, he looked at the Island Heart in his hand and silently thought, Use.

[Ding! Congratulations! Your island is the first in this region to upgrade to Level 3. Island Prosperity Value +1000. You have been specially rewarded with an Upgrade Chest. Please claim it promptly.]

Su Yu was already quite calm at the mention of a reward chest. After all, he had already claimed one of these when he reached Level 2.

"Claim." Su Yu silently thought, Claim chest.

[Level 3 Upgrade Chest]

Description: Contains one Grade 1 Spirit-Condensing Pill.

[Grade 1 Spirit-Condensing Pill]

Description: Refined using a secret method. When consumed by an ordinary person, it can calm the mind, focus the spirit, and strengthen their mental power.

Refinement Materials: Spirit-Condensing Grass*1, Millennium Polygonatum*1.

Note: The first Grade 1 Spirit-Condensing Pill has the strongest effect. The second has half the effect, and the third half of that again. The fourth has no effect.

"Is this part of the same series of pills as the Grade 1 Marrow Cleansing Pill?" Looking at what was inside the Level 3 Upgrade Chest, Su Yu couldn't help suspecting that they were products in the same pill series.

[Ding! Your Double Happiness Talent has activated. You obtained Grade 1 Spirit-Condensing Pills*2.]

After opening the chest and seeing the two jade bottles in his hand, Su Yu casually pulled the stopper from one and tipped its contents straight into his mouth.

"Gulp." As soon as the pill went down, Su Yu immediately felt that this stuff that boosted his mental power was far more satisfying than the stuff that boosted his physique and strength.

Su Yu felt a great wave of cool, refreshing energy continuously washing over his brain. It felt so good he was practically floating on air.

The effects of this Spirit-Condensing Pill lasted for about an hour in Su Yu's body.

When he realized this thing didn't have the infuriating side effects of the Grade 1 Marrow Cleansing Pill, Su Yu tipped out the second Spirit-Condensing Pill.

This time, the pill's effects lasted less than the first time—about half an hour or so.

After coming back to his senses from that blissful, floating state, Su Yu thought and brought up his Personal Attribute Panel.

After glancing over his Personal Attribute Panel, Su Yu dismissed it with a thought.

Compared to before, there weren't many changes. His island level had increased, his base attributes had gone up a little, and his Island Prosperity Value had risen a little. It was all normal progress.

"Grrr." Just as Su Yu was wondering what to do next, his stomach couldn't help protesting again.

"Damn, I got so caught up in eating pills that I haven't had a meal yet!" Su Yu thought. Fighting through his hunger, he first went into the villa and grabbed some convenience food to tide himself over. Then he started his usual meat-grilling routine.

After all the commotion today, most of the daylight hours had already passed, and night was fast approaching. So Su Yu couldn't be bothered to keep fishing.

After all, he had already caught nearly all the high-star chests that could be fished up during the day. The chests needed time to replenish at night.

After probing around for the past few days, Su Yu had already figured out the pattern.

There were still plenty of low-level chests around the island, but Su Yu simply didn't care for them.

Just as Su Yu finished grilling the meat and took his first bite of the hot meal, an unexpected situation suddenly interrupted him.

"Master, we found something!" Right then, the two Jiaoren suddenly called out from the edge of the island.

Hearing them, Su Yu took the grilled meat in his hand and jogged straight toward the direction of their voices.

In the fading light, Su Yu could make out what was floating in front of the two Jiaoren.

"What on earth happened here?" Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the body of a Sea Monkey floating on the water.

"Master, this thing suddenly appeared in the sea while we were eating, and attacked us as soon as it showed up. The two of us managed to kill it together." One of the Jiaoren quickly answered Su Yu's question.

"Could it be that these Sea Monkeys really are being teleported here from somewhere else?"

Hearing the Jiaoren's answer, Su Yu gazed at the Sea Monkey's body, torn in half on the surface of the water, and fell into deep thought.

"Be careful underwater. If anything unusual happens, climb onto the island right away." After thinking it over, Su Yu still had no good way to deal with this situation. He could only kill them as they came. Besides, the Man-eating Flower needed Sea Monkey bodies to evolve.

"Bring this thing onto the island and throw it by the Man-eating Flower's roots over there." Not wanting to waste anything, Su Yu gave the two Jiaoren their instructions, then headed back with his grilled meat.

At that moment, the few Goblins who had also heard the commotion saw the two big brothers from the sea toss the monster's body ashore. They immediately ran over and took over the work on land from the two Jiaoren. The Goblins knew how to read the room.
