Chapter 23

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Su Bai took the first part of the news as watching a group of people talking nonsense while eating, but when he read the next part, something was wrong.

After so many days of understanding, Su Bai knew that these people would only say it with real evidence.

‘But why did these Oanneses want to fight for resources? And what was the purpose of the giant Oannes?’ Su Bai pondered.

Just when Su Bai was trying to figure out the reason, there was a knock on the door.

When Su Bai knew that it was here to ask for materials, he had already sentenced the Oannes to death.

He walked to the door and opened it. He didn’t expect the Oannes to really reach out its hand.

Su Bai directly took out the machete from his Bag and cut off the Oannes’s head.

The Oannes never thought that the other party would remove its head without saying a word when it just came to collect some materials.

After taking care of the Oannes, Su Bai threw the dead body into the recycling plant.

Recycling…

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

“I couldn’t find the Oannes during the day. I didn’t expect it to come to me at night. Isn’t that equal to delivering me its meat to eat?”

It was because Su Bai had seen the meat earlier that he suddenly felt hungry, so he didn’t care about the uses of the Oannes skin.

Now that he had seen it again, he remembered that after the Oannes was recycled, it would also produce a material, the Oannes skin.

“Hey System, check the properties of the Oannes skin.”

Oannes Skin: The skin obtained from an Oannes, the best material to upgrade your Bag’s capacity.

“It’s actually used to upgrade my Bag’s capacity?”

Su Bai was so happy that he almost passed out.

After getting the super fishing rod, Su Bai felt that his Bag was not big enough. Usually, his Bag’s capacity would be full after two to four hours.

At that time, Su Bai had no choice but to put all the things in his Bag into the Warehouse.

However, he had to wait five hours every time he entered the warehouse. In other words, if he accidentally filled his Bag within these five hours, he would not be able to continue fishing.

That would greatly reduce Su Bai’s speed and efficiency.

It was the first time Su Bai realized that it was not a good thing to have too much wooden plank and silk thread.

Su Bai was the only one who knew what he was thinking. If others knew what he was thinking, they would pass out.

“Hey System, how many Oannes skins do I need to upgrade my Bag’s capacity?”

Oannes skin required to upgrade Bag 2/5.

It wasn’t difficult to upgrade Su Bai’s Bag’s capacity now, but it was a little difficult to find another Oannes. It seemed that the nearby Oanneses all knew his strength, so they all hid far away.

“It seems like I’ll have to use the old method.” Su Bai sighed.

The old method was to use the treasure chest to lure the Oanneses.

With the temperament of these Oanneses, if they saw many treasure chests, they would definitely come forward.

Su Bai just needed to take advantage of that time to catch them.

However, the sky was getting dark, and his night vision was poor, so he could only try that after dawn.

Otherwise, Su Bai would have lost those chests.

The Oanneses were fast at snatching treasure chests, and it was hard to see at night. Probably the treasure chests had already been taken by the Oanneses without Su Bai noticing.

“In that case, I’ll do it tomorrow, but it looks like there are even more high-level Oanneses. I wonder how strong they are.”

The stats elixir didn’t taste good, but to deal with these Oanneses who would come to find Su Bai, he could only bite the bullet and eat it.

“Hey System, bring me to the Safe House.”

Su Bai came and went from the Safe House in a hurry, never paying attention to the number of his items.

It wasn’t until he saw the inventory of stats elixir fragments that he realized that he had collected a little too much.

There were more than 20,000 stats elixir fragments in the Warehouse.

“F*ck, I’m about to collect everyone’s fragments. Hehe, this is also thanks to the inflation rate. I can sell the wooden planks at the price of drinking water.

After being mesmerized for a while, Su Bai asked the system to start making the stats elixirs.

“Hey System, craft 500 Stats Elixirs!”

Crafting Stats Elixir successful! You’ve obtained 50 Stats Elixirs.

Crafting Stats Elixir successful! You’ve obtained 50 Stats Elixirs.

Su Bai didn’t stay idle while the system was crafting the stats elixirs. He changed the properties of every stats elixir he made and threw it into his mouth.

Of course, his speed could not keep up with the crafting speed. After eating 50 Strength-increasing Stats Elixirs, a system notification popped up.

Prompt: The Strength stats that the Stats Elixir can increase has reached the island’s current limit. Please try again after upgrading the island.

“Huh? This thing had a limit! How many did I eat in total?”

All Stats Elixirs have been crafted successfully.

Su Bai had also successfully crafted all the stats elixirs.

“I have 473 in my bag. In addition to the 23 I ate before, I’ve only gained 50 points and I’ve reached the maximum?”

Su Bai wasn’t satisfied with the current situation. If he only gained so little strength, it means that his combat power didn’t increase much.

This was the first time he realized that having a lot of materials was not that useful. What was important was still combat power.

Only those who were strong could be unafraid of such an unexpected situation.

The current situation was a little tricky. If Su Bai wanted to improve his combat power, he had to upgrade the island. If he wanted to upgrade the island, he had to keep fishing, and he would encounter Oanneses while fishing. He might not even be able to defeat the high-level Oanneses.

It was as if Su Bai had fallen into an endless loop.

“Wealth comes with danger, but who cares! Maybe I’ll be one step ahead!”

After making up his mind, Su Bai did not waste any more time.

Then, he added another 28 stats elixirs to increase his Stamina.

Burp~

After taking 55 stats elixir, Su Bai felt he had reached his limit and couldn’t eat anymore.

The stats elixir wasn’t too big, about the size of a fingernail, but it really took up his stomach.

Su Bai already felt that he could eat a lot, but even so, he didn’t feel like eating anymore. He could only save the rest for lunch.

“Hey System, check my combat power!”

Character: Su Bai

Combat Power: 90

Unlike Su Bai’s calmness, Meng Lin was on the verge of tears.

The information Meng Lin got from his own alliance members was that the Oanneses only needed one or two wooden planks or silk threads.

But the Oannes that came to Meng Lin took even more and wasn’t satisfied.

Meng Lin had already taken out 100 wooden planks, but the Oannes in front of him was like a bottomless pit, still demanding materials from him.

Meng Lin’s heart bled with every material he took out. These materials were the things he was most proud of.

In the end, when he took out almost all the materials in his Bag, the Oannes in front of him left with satisfaction.
