Chapter 22

The Oannes that had been caught was still holding onto the treasure chest, unwilling to let go. It was still struggling, trying to escape into the sea with the treasure chest.

Obviously, it was impossible. Su Bai’s hand was like a pair of iron pincers, gripping the Oannes’s neck so hard that it could only struggle helplessly on the ground.

This was not enough to vent Su Bai’s hatred. He had to teach this Oannes a lesson today.

To prevent the other silver chests in the thatched cottage from being stolen, Su Bai put them all into his Bag before he could open them.

“Hehehe, you can’t run anymore!”

As if sensing its fate, the Oannes on the ground stopped struggling. It looked at Su Bai with an ingratiating look and squeezed out a sincere smile.

“Smile? You’re still smiling at me?! Your smile is uglier than your crying face.”

As Su Bai said that, he slapped the Oannes’s face.

To prevent himself from killing the Oannes with one punch, Su Bai deliberately held back a little. Under the precise force, the Oannes’s nose and face were soon bruised.

As if he was still not satisfied, Su Bai took out a rope and tied the Oannes up.

“Listen up, you creatures in the sea. This is the end of anyone who dares to try to steal my treasure chest.”

After saying that, Su Bai sat on the ground and opened the treasure chest in a huff.

Silver Chest successfully opened: You’ve obtained Stone x 8!

Silver Chest successfully opened: You’ve obtained Blueprint x 2!

Looking at the two blueprints, Su Bai’s eyes were shining. He had not seen a blueprint for days.

He quickly opened his Bag to check the two new blueprints.

One of them was seawater desalinator, and the other was a new blueprint called a recycling plant.

“Hey System, check the new blueprint.”

Rare Blueprint: Recycling Plant

Materials Needed: Wooden Plank x 1,000, Stone x 500, Iron Ore x 500, Bronze Ore x 500, Drinking Water x 300.

Can be used to craft a Recycling Plant.

Su Bai couldn’t help but gulp when he saw so many materials needed.

This was the first time he had seen something that required so many materials to build.

After a few seconds, Su Bai couldn’t help but smile.

Fortunately, he had exchanged for a large number of materials a few days ago. Otherwise, he might not have been able to build this recycling plant.

Su Bai quickly made a trip to the Safe House and brought out all the materials he needed.

“Hey System, craft a recycling plant!”

Used Rare Blueprint: Recycling Plant!

Materials Needed: Wooden Plank x 1,000, Stone x 500, Iron Ore x 500, Bronze Ore x 500, Drinking Water x 300.

Materials fulfilled.

Crafting Recycling Plant…

Crafting Recycling Plant complete!

After that, there were familiar images and scenes. Soon, a recycling plant appeared on the island.

“Hey System, check the properties of the recycling plant.”

Recycling Plant: A mysterious building that can turn waste into consumables.

Usage 1: There is a 50% chance of breaking down an item inserted into useful materials.

Usage 2: There is an 80% chance of disassembling an item and returning it to its original appearance.

The recycling plant was neither big nor small. At the moment, Su Bai could not think of where to use it.

BEEP!

Do you wish to modify the recycling plant?

“Hmm?”

While Su Bai was still immersed in thinking about where to use the recycling plant, he heard a familiar prompt.

“Hahaha. Since I can modify it, I will change the probability of both usage to 100%!”

BEEP!

Modification successful

Recycling Plant: A mysterious building that can turn waste into consumables.

Usage 1: There is a 100% chance of breaking down an item inserted into useful materials.

Usage 2: There is a 100% chance of disassembling an item and returning it to its original appearance.

“Now, that’s what I’m talking about!” Su Bai sighed with emotion.

Su Bai looked around and planned to find something to test out the recycling plant. He scanned his surroundings and his glance landed on the Oannes.

“It’s you then.”

Su Bai picked up the Oannes by the neck, walked to the recycling plant’s entrance, and threw the Oannes in it.

Recycling…

Recycling Successful: Lost Oannes x 1. Obtained Meat x 2, Oannes Skin x 1.

“There’s even meat. I’ve been eating fish so much these days that I’m about to throw up. I can finally have a change of taste.”

Su Bai’s eyes lit up when he saw the meat. He totally ignored the Oannes’s skin.

He immediately set up a fire and began to roast meat.

After the meat was cooked, he ate it while reading the Chat page.

[When will this rain stop? It’s been raining all day.]

[What bad luck. I finally managed to fish a treasure chest, but it was snatched away by an Oannes.]

[Bro, you’re really bold. Don’t you know that the Oannes will attack?]

[It can’t be. I saw it grab the treasure chest and jump into the sea. It didn’t even have the intention to attack me.]

[Maybe you’re just lucky. Someone was attacked by the Oannes just now.]

[Tell me in detail what happened.]

[My friend said that he was resting in his room when he heard someone knocking on the door. When he got up, he realized that it was an Oannes.]

[Why would an Oannes knock on the door? Are they that polite?]

[Listen to me, okay? My friend was also very curious, but out of fear of the Oannes, he didn’t open the door. After it knocked for three to five minutes, the Oannes broke in and beat my friend up. It also took some of my friend’s materials and disappeared.]

[What do you mean by this Oannes is actually snatching materials? What do they want materials for?]

[Isn’t that simple? We can tell that they like to snatch our resources from the way they snatch treasure chests.]

[An Oannes also knocked on my door just now and took some of my things.]

[No way, what should we do? It’s not easy to fish on a stormy day, and now these Oanness are here to snatch our resources.]

[I was about to cry. That Oannes took two of my wooden planks.]

[That’s not right! Shouldn’t these things be in your Bags? How did the Oanness take it away?]

[I don’t know. It punched me, and two wooden planks suddenly fell to the ground. Then, it took the wooden planks and left.]

[Wait, there’s also an Oannes knocking on my door. I’ll open the door and take a look. Wait for my good news.]

A few moments later.

[I’m back. It left after taking a silk thread from me.]

[What happened? Could it be that you can communicate with the Oanness?]

[No, it reached out its hand after I opened the door. Since it was here to snatch resources, I put a ball of silk thread on its hand. I didn’t expect it to turn around and leave.]

[Bro, you’re the best! I love you so much! Your actions have saved us all from a round of physical pain!]

[If I were a woman, I would definitely marry you.]

[I’ve got the latest news! A very, very big Oannes appeared, two to three times bigger than the Oanneses we saw during the day. There are also a few Oanneses a little smaller than it behind it!]
