42 Prohibited Operation?
“The two of you, dive into the water and circle the island. Then, report to me what you find underwater.”
At this moment, Su Yu, who had walked to the shoreline, gave this instruction to the two merman guards who had emerged from the water.
“Understood.” The two merman guards received their master’s orders and disappeared from the surface.
To be honest, although Su Yu had the Water Repelling Pearl, he had never dived into the water.
Now that he had two merman guards, Su Yu was naturally very curious about what was under the sea.
About ten minutes later, two merman guards appeared from the sea one after another.
“Master, there’s a stone layer about five meters below the island. The entire island is floating on the water. The island is located on the shallow part of the sea with a depth of around 100 meters.”
The two merman guards who had just emerged from the water reported the situation they had seen below the sea to Su Yu.
“Wait, did you see any chests in the sea?” Seeing that the two mermen did not mention anything about the chests, Su Yu asked in a deep voice.
“Chests, what chest?” The two merman guards were clearly confused by Su Yu’s question.
“Okay, so they can’t see the treasure chests. Could it be that those things are still between illusion and reality? Or could it be that only specific people can see them, or that they can only be seen after being dragged ashore?”
“The two of you standby in the water. I’ll go down and take a look.” After thinking for a while, Su Yu prepared to dive into the water to take a look by himself.
This was because the two merman guards had already investigated that the sea around them was only about a hundred meters deep. With Su Yu’s current physique and the Water Repelling Pearl, there was absolutely no problem for Su Yu could dive to the bottom of the sea. As for the Sea Monkeys, Su Yu had already killed two of them, so he was naturally not afraid of them.
Then, Su Yu nimbly took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of shorts. He dove into the water.
When Su Yu dived into the water, two merman guards stood on both sides of Su Yu a meter below the water.

[★★ Ordinary Servant Chest]

…
As soon as Su Yu entered the water, he almost dazzled. This was because within Su Yu’s vision, there were traces of treasure chests everywhere!
However, these treasure chests seemed to have a life of their own. They were not fixed in one spot. Instead, they changed positions from time to time like a school of fish.
Su Yu reached out and grabbed at the nearest ★ Ordinary Wooden Treasure Chest.
However, this ★ Ordinary Wooden Treasure Chest actually dodged Su Yu’s outstretched hand.
“It moves so fast underwater.” Su Yu could not help but feel surprised at the fact that he could not grab the treasure chest.
However, with Su Yu’s stubborn temper, how could he tolerate the treasure chest slipping away? No, he couldn’t.
Therefore, Su Yu got into a fight with it. After about a minute or so, Su Yu finally caught a ★ wooden treasure chest.
[Ding! The novice protection period has not ended. Illicit fishing of treasure chests is prohibited. Please let go of the treasure chest in your hand. If you persist, you will be punished.]
Just as Su Yu was feeling happy, a notification suddenly sounded in his ear, directly dispelling his thoughts.
“F*ck.” Upon hearing the word ‘punishment’, Su Yu threw the ★ wooden treasure chest in his hand as if it was hot iron.
“F*ck.” Su Yu stretched out his hand and made a gesture with his middle finger. He was too lazy to continue diving. After all, he could not catch treasure chests by hand. He could only go up.
Very quickly, Su Yu swam out of the water at an extremely fast speed. He grabbed the protruding rocks at the shoreline and used it to climb up the island.
“The two of you will guard the surroundings of the island. Report any abnormal movements right away. Am I understood?” At this moment, Su Yu, who had already picked up the clothes on the ground, instructed the two merman guards in the water.
“Understood, Master.” The two merman guards quickly nodded.
After Su Yu instructed the merman guards, he returned to the small wooden house and ate the remaining Level 1 Marrow Cleansing Pill.
“Gulp, gulp.” As soon as he ate it, Su Yu’s stomach began to react.
It had to be said that this Marrow Cleansing Pill was really an excellent pill to clear one’s stomach!
About 20 minutes after consuming the pill, Su Yu’s calves trembled slightly. His face was slightly pale as he walked out of the toilet.
Su Yu took the time to glance at his personal stats panel and realized that his basic Strength and Physique Stats had already broken through to 8 points. As for his Spirit Stats, it was slightly weaker and had yet to break through to 5 points.
After resting for a short while, Su Yu’s face regained its color.
“Phew.” Su Yu exhaled heavily and picked up the fishing rod again, preparing to continue fishing.
After all, he could not catch those treasure chests in the water by diving. Su Yu could only continue to fish and use fishing nets to obtain treasure chests.
At this moment, Su Yu, who was sitting on the chair, casually logged into the communication channel.
There was no other way. Fishing alone was a little boring. He could not pull those goblins over to chat!
“Damn it, these days are getting harder and harder. There’s nothing to eat or drink. There’s no woman.”
“I suggest jumping into the sea to commit suicide. However, remember to trade the supplies to me before you die so that they won’t be wasted. After all, it’s shameful to waste them.”
“Get lost, get lost.”
“Do you think the people from the other regions have the same experience as us?!”
“I think that every region should be about the same. The big shots in front are all living very comfortably. As for us, we feel that we’re just accompanying the crown prince to study2!”
“Why don’t you just say that it’s very difficult for us! Sigh.”
…
When Su Yu entered the communication channel, he realized that the atmosphere in the communication channel was very depressed compared to two days ago.
This was because when the use of the Ordinary Energy Crystal was revealed to the public, many people were extremely excited.
However, yesterday, reality had taught them that unless they were extremely lucky, the probability of catching this item was very low.
