Chapter 40: Upgradeable Man-Eating Flower
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At this moment, a huge force came from the Hundred Forged Yanling Saber in Su Yu’s hand and headed toward Su Yu.
Fortunately, Su Yu’s physique and strength far exceeded the sea monkey’s, so he was not brought into the water by the impact of its body.
Just as Su Yu stabilized himself, the female sea monkey’s body crashed heavily into the speedboat. If not for the fact that the speedboat’s quality was not bad, a hole would have been smashed through it.
Upon seeing this, Su Yu used brute force to pull out the Hundred Forged Yanling Saber that was stuck in the sea monkey’s chest. Then, he stabbed it again.
The sea monkey, who had blocked Su Yu’s first strike at the cost of its arms, could not withstand the second strike and died on the spot.
“I was too careless.” Looking at the wrecked speedboat and the motionless body of the sea monkey, Su Yu’s face did not show any joy. Instead, he began to reflect.
“The next time I encounter this thing, I have to hit it accurately.” After some reflection, Su Yu grabbed the Hundred Forged Yanling Saber and jumped onto the island.
Su Yu’s special cold-resistant suit was stained with the blood of many sea monkeys, so he had to change into another cold-resistant suit.
“The few of you, clean the speedboat. Then, throw the body of that thing to the man-eating flower.” Su Yu, who had just reached the shore, looked at the few goblins who were looking at him with a fanatical expression and instructed them directly.
After saying that, Su Yu went into the small wooden house and changed into a special cold-resistant suit.
At this moment, the two goblins were diligently washing the speedboat with seawater. The other two goblins had already picked up the female sea monkey’s body that had died on the speedboat and moved it by the root of the man-eating flower.
At this moment, Su Yu, who had changed his clothes and was idle, appeared beside the man-eating flower that was devouring the sea monkey’s body.
[Ordinary Man-Eating Flower]
Status: Joy.
Ability: Entanglement, Rapid Digestion
Description: A man-eating flower nurtured from an ordinary man-eating flower seed. Because its roots have devoured the sea monkey’s body, it has undergone a slight mutation. It can continue to be fed with monster corpses. When it mutates to a certain extent, it can be paired with some special materials to advance to a higher level man-eating flower.
Note: Plants on the island will automatically recognize the master of the island. You don’t have to worry about losing control.
“Why does this feel like a game of plant cultivation?” Su Yu looked at the man-eating flower that was trying its best to devour the sea monkey’s body, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Actually, at this moment, Su Yu already had some guesses about the world he was in.
He remembered that before he had transmigrated, Su Yu had read about the explanation of the ‘Returning to Ruins’ in ancient books.
It was rumored that, to the east of the Bohai Sea1 billions of miles away, there was a huge ravine. However, it had no bottom. It was called the ‘Returning to Ruins’.
Then, according to the description of the items he had fished up over the past few days, Su Yu suspected that the Sea of Returning to Ruins might be the final destination of all the worlds that were heading towards extinction. Otherwise, how could there be various items from different worlds in the treasure chests in the water?
Of course, all of this was just Su Yu’s guess for the time being. As for the exact truth, it was not something that a newbie like Su Yu could figure out.
Su Yu shook his head and threw out these strange thoughts in his mind. Then, he touched the man-eating flower that had already bloomed.
The man-eating flower’s body swayed slightly, as if it was responding to Su Yu. At this moment, the man-eating flower did not have intelligence. However, it had its plant instincts. Coupled with the power of the island, it naturally got close to Su Yu.
After looking at the goblins who were still cleaning the speedboat, Su Yu scanned the sea. When he didn’t find any abnormal movements, he slowly walked towards the Toyota parked inside the thorn fence.
He got into the car, took off his clothes, and turned on the air conditioner. Su Yu had already developed muscle memory for this series of actions.
The night passed uneventfully, and Su Yu slept soundly until dawn.
[Ding! Please receive today’s bait reward and the treasure chest reward for being ranked first on the list for three days.]
As soon as Su Yu opened his eyes, he pushed open the car door and got out to stretch his muscles and bones. A notification sounded in his ears, reminding him to receive the treasure chest.
“Receive.” After saying so, a treasure chest slightly more gorgeous than usual appeared in Su Yu’s arms.
[Three Days in the Rankings Treasure Chest]
Description: It contains +20 island area fragments.
“Not bad. It has already surpassed the island fragments that I got from a single ????? treasure chest.” After looking at the information of the treasure chest in his hand, Su Yu could not help but smile.
[Ding! Your Double Happiness Skill has been triggered. You have obtained +20 Island Area Fragment*2.]
As he opened the treasure chest, Su Yu obtained two +20 island area fragments.
Looking at the item in his hand, Su Yu directly chose to use it. After using it, the area of Su Yu’s island expanded by 40 square meters, and the total area of the island reached 301 square meters.
As a result, with the additional stats from the island, Su Yu’s physique stats directly broke through ten points.
[Ding! Congratulations on gaining over 10 points in your physique stats. Personal combat strength will be added to your personal stats panel.]
At this moment, Su Yu was not in a hurry. Just as he started his daily fishing adventure, another notification sounded in his ears.
Hearing the sound beside his ear, Su Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and opened his stats panel.
[Level 2 Island Master] ~ Island area 301 square meters
EXP to Upgrade: 301/4
Name: Su Yu.
Age: 23 years old.
Strength: 6.8+(3.01)
Physique: 7+ (3.01)
Spirit: 4.6+(3.01)
Overall Combat Rating: Ordinary Rank 6 – Black Iron Rank
...
After taking a look at his combat strength rating, Su Yu fell into deep thought. This Ordinary Level 6 combat strength should be his regular combat strength. The Black Iron Level 0, should calculate his weapon, skill, and the additional combat strength from the island.
“I wonder to what extent the first-ranked in the other regions have leveled up.” At this moment, other thoughts began to appear in Su Yu’s mind.
...
To be honest, Su Yu did not think that with his current strength, he was the most outstanding among all the newbies.
This was because the population of the Cerulean Planet that Su Yu had transmigrated to previously was 20 billion. Excluding those under the age of 14 and the elderly, there were at least more than 10 billion people. If a region had 5,000 people, there were at least 2 million regions.
And within these 2 million regions, there were definitely some SSS grade talents. So, when he thought of this, Su Yu felt that there was nothing to feel proud about.
