• Su Na produced a Ship Merging Card, and Yang Yi realized she meant to combine their ships rather than merge with him personally.

• Yang Yi identified the Hope as an ordinary ship and messaged Shen Guanquan to offer him the Pirate Ship Blueprint, while suspecting that some special ships in the fleet might have changed owners through violence.
• Yang Yi rejected Shen Guanquan’s friend request and invitation to join the New World Fleet, then negotiated a trade for food, materials, Conch Coins, and the Greedy Stomach.

After three days of fishing and gathering supplies, Yang Yi went to the laboratory to collect the finished prototypes, finding Su Na asleep at her worktable and the potions waiting there.

• Yang Yi hauled in a Wound-Healing Pearl, an One-Armed Crab, and a Palm Star, then brought them to Su Na for inspection.
• Su Na was inspired by the catches and the Devil Shark's eyeballs and promised to make potion prototypes; she later secretly worked overtime in the laboratory.

• Yang Yi posted an offer to buy fire-starting tools and read Su Na's message that she had made three kinds of potions.
• Yang Yi found Su Na resting in the laboratory and saw the three colored Unknown Potions on the table.

• Yang Yi changed course toward the island, intending to use his Sea Chart to avoid any possible ambush.

• Yang Yi questioned Hu Wei about the island, but Hu Wei killed himself before answering and spiders crawled from his corpse.
• Yang Yi blasted Hu Wei’s body with his Flintlock, then discovered that a tiny spider had crawled out of his own body.

• Yang Yi warned Su Na not to share or sell her potions, then prepared to leave the damaged cabin and repair the Nightmare Star.

• Yang Yi spent three days cruising near the island without spotting any ships while Su Na worked in the laboratory under his eight-hour limit.

• Yang Yi dreamed that Su Na was cutting spiders out of him, then woke to find her performing the operation for real.
• Yang Yi checked that his vitality had fallen below 50 and his sanity to 37, apologized to Su Na, and watched her continue removing spiders from his body.

After Spider's Kiss nearly killed Yang Yi, he tested Su Na's powerful but painful Regeneration Potion and learned about a poison that could kill the spiders inside him temporarily. He planned to stock up on Spider-Death Potion before landing on the island, while also negotiating to buy four Catapults.

• Yang Yi woke after thirty-five hours unconscious, drank Su Na's Regeneration Potion, and endured its unbearable itching as his wounds healed.
• Su Na showed Yang Yi Spider-Death Potion, which could kill the spiders inside him temporarily but could not remove their source.

• Yang Yi caught a Coral Cagefish with Eyeball Fruit bait and sent it to Su Na so she could brew more Spider-Death Potion.
• Yang Yi negotiated with the Catapult seller and secured a deal to buy four Catapults for 650 Conch Coins each.

Yang Yi prepared hundreds of poison-coated delicacies and used the Nightmare Star’s new Catapults to lure spiders from the island’s forest. The spiders emerged, including an anomalous three-meter specimen carrying a withered human torso, and Yang Yi lost Sanity upon seeing it.

• Yang Yi bought two Catapults, bringing the Nightmare Star’s total to four, and installed them in the Atrium.
• Yang Yi bought spoiled food and whale meat, while Su Na made 104 bottles of Dead Spider Potion and Yang Yi turned 462 portions of rotten food into poison-coated ammunition.

• Yang Yi catapulted the poisoned bundles into the forest, drawing out spiders of various sizes.
• A three-meter spider carrying a withered human torso appeared, and seeing the anomalous creature cost Yang Yi five Sanity.

• Yang Yi discovered Spider’s Kiss let him understand the Tinder Wool Spiders and lured them with spoiled food while giving them Dead Spider Potion.
• Yang Yi poisoned the spiders over the next three days and prepared to land on the island with Su Na.
• Yang Yi noticed Good Luck approaching the island and decided to investigate before anyone else could reach it.
• At daybreak, Yang Yi and Su Na approached Good Luck, and Yang Yi saw that it had no cannons and was a level-two ordinary ship.

Yang Yi found the Good Luck empty and learned its captain, Li Rong, had died after eating rotten bait on the island. Yang Yi and Su Na followed Li Rong’s trail ashore, where they realized he had eaten the bait Yang Yi had left out.

• Yang Yi fired stones at the Good Luck, then had Su Na tear open its hull and found the ship empty; he dismantled it after confirming its owner was dead.
• The chapter revealed that Li Rong had gone ashore before dawn, where a maddening fragrance led him to eat maggot-covered bait and rotten leaves until his sanity collapsed.
• Before going ashore, Yang Yi checked his status and joined Su Na in preparing to search the island for the Good Luck’s captain.
• Yang Yi followed Li Rong’s footprints, found his discarded machete and signs of disturbed soil, and Su Na spotted cloth caught on a branch.
• Su Na concluded that Li Rong had eaten the rotten meat Yang Yi had left on the island, and Yang Yi admitted he had not expected anyone to eat it.

Yang Yi and Su Na tracked the Good Luck captain’s footprints and found him mutated into a giant monster that compulsively ate anything he could find. After Yang Yi’s attacks failed to stop him, he used the Delicious Chef’s Knife to make a tree smell enticing and distract the giant.

• Yang Yi collected Tinder Wool Spider shells and hair while Su Na noticed that the captain’s footprints had grown much larger and deeper.
• Yang Yi and Su Na found the captain as a bloodied giant eating spiders, and they suspected that rotten meat had caused his mutation.

• The giant stopped to eat Delicious Poison from the ground, and Yang Yi used the Delicious Chef’s Knife on a tree to lure him toward it.

Yang Yi and Su Na killed the Glutton, discovered that dangerously low Sanity could cause human mutation, and brought his corpse back for research. Yang Yi then collected spider remains and used adult Tinder Wool Spider corpses for gacha draws, learning the machine’s payout rules and obtaining a heart guard and silk sac.

• Yang Yi used the chef’s knife to make the Glutton bite off his own limbs, then shot him repeatedly until he died; Su Na recorded the fight and collected his corrosive gastric juice.
• Yang Yi and Su Na identified the corpse as Glutton (Li Rong) and realized that Sanity below 10 could cause mutation, agreeing to keep their Sanity above that threshold.
• Yang Yi and Su Na dragged the Glutton’s corpse to shore, and Yang Yi collected spider corpses and 327 units of tinder wool spider hair before returning to the Nightmare Star.
• Yang Yi learned that ordinary adult Tinder Wool Spider corpses could not upgrade the ship, then used them for gacha draws while Su Na stayed in the laboratory to dissect the Glutton.
• Yang Yi received an Insect Carapace Heart Guard, a Silk Sac, supplies, and coins, and concluded that the first two draws for a monster type were nearly guaranteed to yield prizes.

Yang Yi returned to the island to search for the Tinder Wool Spiders’ nest and eliminate its dangers. He found the nest deep underground, where dead spiders and human remains suggested the colony had suffered heavy casualties.

• Yang Yi left the island at dusk, urged Su Na to rest, and used his wool to make two pairs of trousers and a sweater.
• Yang Yi sailed back before dawn with supplies and discovered that his Strength and Constitution had risen to 5.
