Chapter 37: Upgrading the Black Iron Fishing Rod

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The trade offer posted by this person had actually been seen by many survivors. However, most survivors would not spend a lot of resources to buy something that they did not know how to use. Therefore, no one had purchased it until Su Yu discovered it and bought it.

At this moment, Su Yu took out two ordinary energy crystals, as well as some flour and water. Then, he smashed the fragments of the ????? wooden treasure chest and threw them into the basin. Then, he poured the crushed energy crystal into the basin. After that, he added flour and water one after another and mixed them together.

In the end, from two ordinary energy crystals, a fragment of a ????? wooden treasure chest as well as some other supplementary materials, Su Yu obtained a total of ten improved baits.

To break it down, one ordinary energy crystal was only enough to make five improved baits.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that he didn’t have enough fragments of the ????? treasure chest, Su Yu would have made more improved bait.

After all, if ordinary survivors were to use this improved bait, the grade of treasure chests they would be get would be between ??? to ????? wooden treasure chests. However, Su Yu was different. He would definitely get ????? wooden treasure chests.

“Phew, I can finally maintain my consumption, if barely.” Su Yu let out a long sigh of relief. Then, he packed up all the improved bait that he had made and walked out from the thorn fence, walking toward the shoreline.

Now that he had 10 more sets of enhanced bait, Su Yu was prepared to use them.

Next, Su Yu basically maintained the rhythm of fishing one ????? ordinary wooden treasure chest per hour. He continued fishing for eight hours until he heard the notification that night had fallen.

[Ding! Night is about to fall. At nightfall, the temperature will continue to drop. Please be careful to keep warm.]

“Time really flies.” Looking at the darkening sky, Su Yu temporarily stopped fishing. He stood up from the massage chair and stretched his muscles.

However, when he saw the eight ????? wooden treasure chests on the ground, Su Yu’s eyes flashed with joy.

Items in the Treasure Chests: [Black Iron Hook, Black Iron Fishing Rod Upgrade Blueprint, +10 Island Fragments, 500 kg of rice, 300 kg of beef, 10 Ordinary Energy Crystal, Special Alarm, Soft Hedgehog Armor.]

Among the eight ????? treasure chests that Su Yu had caught this time, he obtained the Black Iron Hook and the Black Iron Fishing Rod Upgrade Blueprint. In conjunction with the Hundred-Year Old Ice Silk in Su Yu’s hands and the Hundred Forged Black Iron, Su Yu finally had all the materials needed to upgrade his ordinary fishing rod into black iron fishing rod.

However, it was a pity that Su Yu did not manage to catch any Black Iron level bait this time.

There were also two other items that Su Yu had never caught before.

[Special Alarm]

Description: A technological product of a certain world, powered by solar energy. After use, it can produce a circular warning wave within a range of ten meters.

[Usage Instructions: After turning on with the button, the Special Alarm will activate on its own. During this period, the Special Alarm will monitor all living creatures in the warning range. It can be manually set by the user to block out the movements of living creatures that do not need to be monitored.]

[Soft Hedgehog Armor]

Description: A product of a certain world’s technology. Wearing it can increase one’s defense. It can resist the slash of a Hundred Forged Yanling Saber at maximum.

Note: Please don’t blindly trust its defense. You still have to dodge when necessary.

To be honest, when Su Yu saw the Soft Hedgehog Armor, he couldn’t help but think of a certain movie in his previous life.

Su Yu shook his head. After throwing out these complicated thoughts, he first picked out the treasure chests that contained the Black Iron Hook, the Black Iron Fishing Rod’s Upgrade Blueprint, and the +10 island area fragment.

[Ding! Your Double Happiness Skill has been triggered. You have obtained Black Iron Hook*2, Black Iron Fishing Rod Upgrade Blueprint*2, +10 Island Area Fragment*2.]

First, he used the island fragment to expand the area of his island by another 20 square meters. Then, Su Yu rushed into the small wooden house, took out the Hundred Forged Black Iron and the Ice Silk, and placed them beside the ordinary fishing rod.

[Ding! Do you want to use the Black Iron Fishing Rod Upgrade Blueprint with Hundred Refined Black Iron, Hundred-Year Ice Silk, Black Iron Hook, to upgrade the Ordinary Fishing Rod?]

“Yes,” Su Yu quietly said. Then, he saw the blueprint of the black iron fishing rod in front of him turning into a white light and integrated into the ordinary fishing rod. As for the other materials, they had also integrated into the fishing rod under a special force.

Su Yu was already used to seeing what would happen after using these blueprints.

After about five minutes, a brand new black iron fishing rod finally appeared in front of Su Yu.

[Black Iron Fishing Rod]

Description: Can be used to fish Black Iron Treasure Chests of ??? and below.

Note: The hook of black iron fishing rod and fishing line is extremely sharp and can also be used as a weapon. Please be careful not to cut yourself.

Upgrade Materials: Hundred Forged Black Iron x2, Black Iron Hook x2, 100-year Ice Silk x2, Black Iron Fishing Rod Enhancement Blueprint x1.

“Hmm.” After reading the information about the black iron fishing rod, Su Yu couldn’t help but furrow his brows. Originally, Su Yu had thought that this black iron fishing rod could directly be used to fish for a ????? black iron treasure chest. Now, it seemed that he had overestimated its ability. This thing still needed to be upgraded once more before he could fish for a ????? black iron treasure chest.

“Forget it. In any case, I don’t even have the most ordinary black iron level bait. It’s useless to think too much about it.” At this moment, after casually grabbing the black iron fishing rod on the ground, Su Yu casually cast the fishing rod. Suddenly, a strong sound of air crackling rang in Su Yu’s ears.

“Damn it, I forgot that this is not the seaside.” Su Yu, who had just thrown the fishing rod, immediately reacted. However, he had already thrown it out, so it was obviously impossible for him to stop.

“Ding.” Then, with a chime, the fishing hook sank into the wood of the wooden hut.

Fortunately, the hook of the black iron fishing rod was the black iron hook, so it was not damaged. However, Su Yu had to take a knife and cut a hole in the wood to pull the hook out.

After testing the feel of the black iron fishing rod, Su Yu casually put it aside and turned around to pick up the special alarm.

After pressing the switch on, Su Yu saw that there was a response. The screen immediately lit up.

Then, a mechanical voice sounded from the device. “Please follow the instructions and press your middle finger on the screen to register your identity.” Following the instructions, Su Yu placed his finger on the screen.

“Identity registered. Would you like to start monitoring?”

“Yes.”

After Su Yu agreed, an invisible wave radiated from the special alarm.
