Chapter 35: Hundred-Year Old Ice Silk

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Yu walked into the small wooden house and took out the thorn fence construction blueprint, as well as the thorns that he had yet to take out from the treasure chest.

After taking the two items, Su Yu walked out of the small wooden house. He then opened the treasure chest that contained the thorn.

Under the effect of the double happiness skill, Su Yu successfully obtained 100 thorns.

Then, he looked at the thorn fence construction blueprint in his hand, as well as the thorns piled up at the side. Su Yu casually placed the blueprint on the thorns and chose to use it.

[Ding, please select the location for the thorn fence.]

When Su Yu chose to use the thorn fence construction blueprint, the notification regarding the placement point for the thorn fence sounded in his ears.

Su Yu, who was already experienced in this, selected the construction site of the thorny fence.

Then, Su Yu saw the same situation as when he had built the wooden house. However, this time, the wood had been replaced with thorns.

After a minute or so, with the last flash of white light, Su Yu’s island was surrounded by a 100 square meter-wide and two-meter-tall thorn fence.

To be honest, Su Yu felt that the thorn fence was useless against creatures like the sea monkey. After all, the scales on its body were very difficult to pierce through. On the other hand, the thorn fence might be quite effective against other creatures.

Shaking his head, Su Yu walked to the gate of the thorn fence. He pushed the gate open and walked in. Now that there was a fence, Su Yu would have to go through the gate or the back door in the future.

At the same time, the goblins that Su Yu had sent to clean the speedboat and the goblins that were responsible for recovering the sea monkey’s corpse also returned to the island.

Seeing the additional things on the island, the goblins were clearly at a loss. The goblins did not notice the commotion on the island at all just now, so they naturally did not see the construction process of the thorn fence.

Fortunately, at this moment, Su Yu had already picked up the fishing rod, pushed open the door at the gate, and walked out.

“Master, the speedboat has been washed clean.” Upon seeing Su Yu’s appearance, the two goblins seemed to have found their senses. They quickly rushed to Su Yu and spoke.

“Master, the corpse of that creature has been recovered, but its head is missing.” At this moment, the two goblins, who had been assigned by Su Yu to retrieve the body of the sea monkey, squeezed over and pointed at the body of the sea monkey that had been placed on the shore nearby.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded slightly, then quickly walked toward the body of the sea monkey.

[Sea Monkey Corpse]

Description: A corpse with no vital signs. It is not edible. You are recommended to use it as fertilizer.

When Su Yu looked at the sea monkey’s corpse on the ground, information about the sea monkey’s corpse floated past his eyes.

After thinking for a while, Su Yu looked at the man-eating flower that was about to bloom under the effects of the plant growth acceleration potion. He waved his hand at the goblins and said, “Throw this thing by the roots of the man-eating flower over there.”

Since the insight skill had already hinted that the sea monkey’s corpse could be used as fertilizer, Su Yu naturally followed the suggestion.

After instructing the goblins, Su Yu took his fishing rod and circled along the shoreline, looking for a fishing spot.

As for the few goblins, they worked together to carry the sea monkey’s corpse towards the man-eating flower.

Su Yu planted two man-eating flowers. One on the east side of the island and the other on the west side of the island. They were coincidentally right next to the thorn fence.

Soon, the few goblins carried the sea monkey’s corpse to the root of the man-eating flower. After throwing the corpse down, the gnomes retreated.

Then, the roots of the man-eating flower that had yet to fully bloom began to move. At this moment, a few thick roots directly stabbed into the sea monkey’s body. Then, like drinking a beverage, they began to devour the sea monkey’s corpse.

This scene made the goblins’ scalps tingle. They quickly left this place.

If Su Yu had been watching, he would have noticed that the man-eating flower in the east that had absorbed the sea monkey’s corpse had higher stats compared to the man-eating flower in the west.

However, Su Yu was currently busy looking for a fishing spot and a place to cast the fishing net.

[There are mostly ☆ and ★ Ordinary Wooden Treasure Chests in this part of the sea. You are not recommended to cast a net or fish here.]

…

[There are mostly ★★ Ordinary Wooden Treasure Chests in this part of the sea. You are recommended to cast a net or fish here.]

After searching for a while, Su Yu finally found a place to cast his fishing net. However, Su Yu was no longer interested in fishing for ★★ wooden treasure chests.

At this moment, Su Yu’s target was the ★★★★★ wooden treasure chests. In any case, Su Yu still had a few improved bait in his hands, which were enough for him to make a few more attempts.

[There are traces of ★★★★★ wooden treasure chest five meters below the surface of the sea. You are recommended to fish here.]

After casting the net, Su Yu wandered around for a while and finally found a suitable spot.

After baiting the hook and throwing it into the water, he entered the waiting stage. There was no other way. This was just how fishing worked.

Fortunately, Su Yu was fishing at a fixed spot, so it didn’t take long for the ★★★★★ treasure chest under the water to take the bait.

After so many observations, Su Yu had already discovered that high-star treasure chests would group with treasure chests of the same star level. They basically wouldn’t be in an area with treasure chests of lower star level.

In any case, the ★★★★★ wooden treasure chests that Su Yu had seen so far were all like this.

As for the ★★ and below, they were generally a mixture of good and bad. Sometimes, the ☆ and ★ gathered in one place. Some places only had a pile of ★★. In some places, he could find ★★ and ★ treasure chests.

[★★★★★ Ordinary Wooden Treasure Chest]

Description: It contains a Hundred-Year Old Ice Silk.

[Hundred-Year Old Ice Silk]

Description: A top-notch material used to make fishing line. It can be used together with the upgrade blueprint of the Black Iron Fishing Rod to upgrade the Ordinary Fishing Rod into the Black Iron Fishing Rod.

Material Characteristics: Resistant to high temperature, low temperature, and extremely strong gravity.

“Not bad, it’s the second upgrade material.” When Su Yu saw the items inside the ★★★★★ treasure chest that had taken the bait, he became a little more energetic.

The sooner Su Yu could upgrade the fishing rod, the more beneficial it would be.

First of all, when he caught a ★★★★★ wooden treasure chest, Su Yu wouldn’t have to pull it carefully. He could just use brute force to pull it. He didn’t have to worry about the risk of the rod snapping or the fishing line breaking.

Moreover, if he managed to get his hands on the black iron level bait, Su Yu could also try fishing for the more advanced black iron level treasure chests.
