Chapter 17: 17

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The swamp forest that Guo Li was currently located in was extremely huge. It was filled with mangrove trees that were partially submerged in seawater. Further to his right were even more towering trees. Occasionally, he would hear the chirping of birds coming from that side.

The calabash brothers made quick work of their assigned task, and Guo Li soon had a basket full of shellfish and fat crabs. When Guo Li saw those fat crabs and shellfish, he was a little reluctant to use them as bait.

These would make for a delicious pot of seafood.

Nevertheless, Guo Li still took out some shellfish from the basket. He broke its shell and hung it on the hook. The delicious shellfish meat would make for great bair.

Guo Li instructed the calabash brothers to prepare the pot and cooking utensils so that he could cook food. After that, he continued fishing.

Soon, he felt another tug on the line. Pulling it up, he realized that he had caught a fat sea fish. Guo Li said gloomily, “It’s actually a fish. It seems that the probability of catching a treasure chest is not as high as I thought.”

After putting the fish in the basket, Guo Li got back to fishing. At this time, Wukong, who had gone out to play, also returned together with handfuls of some unknown fruits. Taking one from Wukong, he took a bite. They were crisp and delicious; the sweet and sour fruit juice filled his mouth. It was truly refreshing.

Wukong saw the fish in the basket and screeched excitedly. It was a roasted fish fanatic.

After waiting patiently for ten minutes, Guo Li caught something again. Guo Li stood up and pulled hard. Whatever it was, it was very heavy.

Beside him, Wu Kong was making chirping noises. When it finally surfaced, Guo Li’s eyes instantly widened. It was actually a beautiful green treasure chest adorned with complicated patterns.

[Ding! Congratulations! The host has caught a bronze treasure chest!]

[Note: Bronze treasure chests are one grade higher than black iron treasure chests and contain even better treasures. Are you so excited that you’re dancing?!]

When Wukong saw the treasure chest, it was a little dejected. It was obvious that the iron chest could not be eaten.

Guo Li was extremely excited. The bronze treasure chest on the fishing rod was one grade higher than black iron treasure chest, which meant that the treasure inside would be even better.

After pulling out the pillow-sized bronze treasure chest, Guo Li wiped his hands on his clothes and impatiently opened the treasure chest.

A golden light flashed once again, and the system notification rang out once more.

[Ding! Congratulations! The host has opened the bronze treasure chest and has obtained 50 units of construction-grade stone!]

[Note: On the island, you can use construction-grade stone to build the foundation of your house, or you can even carve them into all kinds of exquisite-looking statues. The choice is yours.]

“It’s actually construction-grade stone.”

While Guo Li was muttering, the construction-grade stone was automatically whisked away by the system to the wooden house. It would be more convenient for Guo Li that way.

After catching the bronze treasure chest, Guo Li was in high spirits. He continued fishing, trying to catch even better treasures.

[Ding! Congratulations! The host has caught a black iron treasure chest!]

[Ding! Congratulations! The host has opened the black iron treasure chest and has obtained 50 units of construction-grade wood!]

[Ding! Congratulations! The host has opened the bronze treasure chest and has obtained 50 units of construction-grade stone!]

[Ding! Congratulations! The host has caught a black iron treasure chest!]

…

Guo Li kept fishing and caught several more bronze and black iron treasure chests. He scratched his head. He had yet to catch a silver or higher grade treasure chest. It seemed that those were really hard to come by.

Regardless, one had to be patient and calm while fishing, so Guo Li waited patiently. A few minutes later, there was another tug on the line.

Guo Li pulled the fishing rod up with all his might. When he pulled it up, a system notification rang out in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations! The host has caught a silver treasure chest!]

[Note: Silver treasure chests are good stuff! Whatever comes out will surprise and astonish you. Take a deep breath and prepare your heart before opening these treasure chests!]

Guo Li jumped up and whooped loudly. His luck was just too good. He had caught a silver treasure chest! His heart was beating with anticipation for what would come out.

The patterns on the silver treasure chest were even more exquisite. There were even engravings of birds and beasts on it. Guo Li wiped his hands clean and slowly opened the exquisite-looking silver treasure chest.

[Ding! Congratulations! The host has opened the silver treasure chest and obtained 100 units of refined iron!]

[Note: Refined iron is obtained by melting iron ore at high temperatures. It is the best material to use when forging farm tools and weapons. On this island, where resources are scarce, refined iron ore is really very valuable!]

Guo Li started shouting excitedly. What the island lacked the most right now was refined iron. With enough refined iron, better farm tools and weapons could be forged.

There were too many benefits to collecting resources from treasure chests. If he had to obtain them himself, he would have had to chop trees, mine and refine ores, and so on. Guo Li fel infinitely lucky to not have to do these things. He simply needed to keep fishing up treasure chests and, soon enough, he would have all kinds of resources. His life was simply too blessed.

After opening the silver treasure chest, Guo Li was imbued with a newfound sense of urgency. He continued to fish, hoping to catch himself a gold treasure chest. However, all he caught were sea fishes. Guo Li was a little depressed by this, though it greatly pleased Wukong.

Soon it was noon. Guo Li asked Big Baby to start a fire. He put the pot on the fire and poured some water over the crabs, clams, scallops, and oysters. After boiling them over the fire, a pot of fresh and fragrant seafood stew was born.

Delicious ingredients did not require complicated cooking methods. Just boiling them in water would yield an exceptionally delicious dish; one that would leave a lingering aftertaste.

Guo Li picked up an oyster casually. The delicious oyster meat was white and clean. It was so fresh that he did not even need to chew it in his mouth. It melted like tofu and flowed into his throat.

“This is so good!”

He ate delicious oyster meat, followed by a scallop. The meat was firm and chewy, and Guo Li could not stop praising its taste.

“Delicious, so delicious. Compared to the seafood in the real world, it’s many times more delicious!”

Guo Li ate heartily. The fat crab was filled with crab paste. Its meat was full and firm, and he was extremely satisfied after gobbling it all up like a ravenous wolf.

After eating and drinking his fill of seafood and soup, Guo Li leaned against the big tree and burped. This seafood feast was simply too hearty. He instructed the calabash brothers to catch more shellfish so that they could eat another seafood feast in the evening.
