"I want to know what Common Energy Crystals are used for." After seeing the other person's message, Su Yu couldn't help furrowing his brow slightly.
After thinking it over, Su Yu quickly typed out a message.
"One Common Energy Crystal will buy you the information about what it's used for. You can't trade it for anything else. Otherwise, forget it."
If there were no daily limit on trades, Su Yu naturally wouldn't have agreed to the other person's request. But precisely because there was a daily limit, after giving it some thought, Su Yu decided he might as well make a quick profit while this information was still unknown to the public.
Meanwhile, on his own island, Wang Teng stared at the message the other person had sent through the private chat and hesitated.
Wang Teng knew full well that the two Common Energy Crystals in his hand were much rarer than ordinary household goods. But rare as they were, without knowing what they were for, they were no different from junk in his hands!
After thinking it over, Wang Teng decided to trade one Common Energy Crystal for the information.
"Boss Su, I'll trade one Common Energy Crystal for that information. Just put up any item on the Trading Channel!" Now that he'd made up his mind, Wang Teng didn't waste any time and replied to Su Yu directly.
Su Yu, who had been watching the private chat, saw the reply and gave a slight nod. The guy on the other end was pretty decisive.
So Su Yu immediately posted a trade offer on the Trading Channel.
Trade item: One Windproof Lighter.
Wanted in exchange: Common Energy Crystal.
Su Yu had so many lighters they were practically burning a hole in his pocket, so he couldn't be bothered to post some worthless junk. He simply uploaded a lighter.
Meanwhile, Wang Teng, who was watching the Trading Channel, had entered "Common Energy Crystal" as a keyword and was refreshing the page.
As soon as he saw Su Yu's offer, Wang Teng immediately made the trade.
[ Ding! Your item, Windproof Lighter, has been successfully traded. Would you like to claim the traded item?]
The instant Wang Teng's trade went through, a notification sounded beside Su Yu's ear.
At that, the corner of Su Yu's mouth lifted ever so slightly.
"The use of Common Energy Crystals: Crush one and add it to 300 grams of Common Flour. Knead the mixture to make 30 portions of Common Bait."
After choosing to claim the item, Su Yu looked at the Common Energy Crystal in his hand and calmly sent Wang Teng a message.
Su Yu hadn't tricked Wang Teng. He'd told him exactly what the Common Energy Crystal was used for. Otherwise, Su Yu could have simply said that it was an ingredient for making Common Bait without telling him how to make it.
The reason Su Yu had so readily given away the recipe was that he wanted to help the region develop. Only then would he be able to trade for good things later on.
Otherwise, if he were the only person in the region who was far ahead of everyone else, while the rest were still using scrap metal and junk, what fun would that be? Besides, Su Yu didn't think much of the recipe for making mere Common Bait.
After all, the stuff could only catch, at most, Two-Star Treasure Chests.
At that moment, Wang Teng was still staring intently at the private chat. When he read the message from the other person, his breathing quickened.
That information was far more useful to Wang Teng than a single Common Energy Crystal!
Without it, the Energy Crystal in Wang Teng's hand was no different from an ordinary rock and completely useless. But now that he knew how to use it, he could mix it with flour to make Common Bait.
"Thank you, boss. Thank you so much." Once he came to his senses, Wang Teng didn't forget to send Su Yu a message in return.
Su Yu simply replied, "A fair trade. If you get anything good later on, you can message me privately."
With that, Su Yu exited the private chat. He'd eaten his fill, and it was time to get back to work.
After all, Su Yu now had a full sixty portions of Common Bait, as well as one Energy Crystal that he hadn't yet turned into bait. If he didn't get to fishing, he figured the Common Bait would just keep piling up in his hands.
He glanced at the sky and saw that there was still some time before nightfall. Picking up the Fishing Rod from the ground, Su Yu headed back to his original fishing spot.
[The treasure chest resources beneath this stretch of sea are average. It is recommended that you change fishing spots.]
To Su Yu's surprise, the spot that had been rich in resources earlier was now only average.
"It looks like the treasure chests on the seabed aren't fixed in place. Their locations can change at any time." After some thought, Su Yu moved to another spot.
[The treasure chest resources beneath this stretch of sea are scarce. It is recommended that you change fishing spots.]
"Damn it..."
After reading the message that appeared before him, Su Yu had no choice but to move again.
Only after changing spots nine times in a row did Su Yu finally find a fishing spot rich in treasure chest resources.
"Damn, without Insight Talent, this would be a nightmare."
With that thought flashing through his mind, Su Yu swung his Fishing Rod and cast out the line.
Next, whether Su Yu had been blessed by the God of Luck or what, in just an hour and a half, the guy managed to reel in ten treasure chests one after another.
In total, he got four [★ Common Wooden Treasure Chests], three [★☆ Common Wooden Treasure Chests], and three [★★ Common Wooden Treasure Chests].
From those treasure chests, Su Yu got:
★ [Common Wood*40] [Zhonghua Cigarettes (one carton)*2] [5 kg rice*2] [500 g bag of Edible Salt*4] ★☆ [20 liters of Diesel*2] [Luxury Massage Chair*2] [25 kg bag of Cement*2] ★★ [Common Fishing Rod Blueprint*2] [Common Bungalow Construction Blueprint*2] [Enhanced Bait*4]
At this point, Su Yu was more interested in the items he'd gotten from the Two-Star Wooden Treasure Chests. As for the other things, even without Insight Talent, he already knew exactly what they were for.
So Su Yu focused his attention on the three items from the Two-Star Wooden Treasure Chests.
[Common Fishing Rod Blueprint] Description: Collect the required materials to upgrade the Novice Fishing Rod. The following materials are required for the upgrade. Fiberglass 0/1, PE Braided Line 0/1, Carbon Cloth 0/1. [Common Bungalow Construction Blueprint] Description: Can be used to build a 30-square-meter Common Bungalow. The following construction materials are required. Cement 0/25, Red Brick 0/200, Sand 0/100. [Enhanced Bait] Description: Can be used to fish for ★★☆ to ★★★★★ treasure chests. Note: It is recommended that you use an upgraded Fishing Rod with this bait. Using this bait with a Novice Fishing Rod may cause the rod to break.
