Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.
Chapter 21 Island Fever
After a week's voyage, Hawkins' squad finally returned to the Principality of Paison via the island. As a supposedly absolutely neutral trading nation, it was home to countless merchants and adventurers. Several squads of similar and higher levels knew about Zhou Yunqing's injury and all believed it was incurable. However, when they saw the lively and energetic Zhou Yunqing, they were all astonished and came to ask who had treated him.
After learning that it was Lu Chuanxiong, the Holy Healer of the Kingdom of Delin, who suggested that Hawkins' team search for the Bizhu Fruit, they all marveled at how Lu Chuanxiong truly lived up to his reputation as a being who had transcended the level 6 elementalist.
Originally, in the Dragon Continent, level 6 spiritual power was generally considered to be the highest level, because most people could only reach level 6, while a small number of people whose strength clearly exceeded that of top level 6 elementalists were respectfully addressed with the word "Saint" plus their profession.
However, the group soon had new questions, asking how Hawkins' team obtained the Jade Fruit. After all, the Jade Fruit possessed both water and fire, two mutually repelling elements, making it extremely rare on the Dragon Continent, and no one had discovered it in recent decades.
Hawkins' team explained everything in detail, including how to prepare supplies on the island, how to get to the Lost Island, and how to find the Jade Fruit. Originally, Zhou Wanqing and her sister wanted to hide Su Yang's existence, but their fabricated story was full of loopholes. They also couldn't withstand the interrogation from everyone and had no choice but to tell the truth: there were people living on the Lost Island, and Su Yang had provided the Jade Fruit.
The people who learned the truth were in an uproar. After all, anyone who could live on the perilous island of Misty Island must be a peerless master with immense power, and must possess many rare treasures. Some had the idea of going to befriend him, some wanted to improve their strength, some harbored malicious intentions to rob him, and some had the idea of developing the island to make money. Amidst the many unpredictable motives of people's hearts, the news spread like wildfire through the Adventurers' Guild. Adventurers living in the Principality of Paisen all knew about this and invited their teammates and friends from other countries to gather here. Well-organized and fast-moving teams began buying tickets to the island. In an instant, Misty Island, a place that was once feared, became a symbol of fervor.
As more people gathered, more rumors about Su Yang arose, with busybodies constantly fabricating stories about him, which became increasingly outrageous as they were passed down.
Some rumors say Su Yang is a Saint-level elementalist who, by chance, went into seclusion on the Misty Island. Others say Su Yang is actually a vanguard general of the Demon Clan who got lost on the Misty Island while scouting ahead. Still others say Su Yang is the incarnation of a dragon, gathering power on the Misty Island to prepare for revenge. Even more outrageous are the rumors that Su Yang, heartbroken by unrequited love, wandered to the Misty Island. In short, there are only more outrageous rumors than the most outrageous ones.
These rumors even reached the royal families and governments of some countries, and some countries actually mobilized their national forces for this. For example, after hearing the rumors that Su Yang was a general of the demon race, the current demon lord of the Western Demon Kingdom insisted on sending troops to bring Su Yang back to the Demon Kingdom. However, because it was located in the western part of the continent and the journey was long, it could not bypass other countries. Therefore, a small-scale war was also fought with the Holy Beast Kingdom located in the southwest of the continent.
Meanwhile, Su Yang, at the center of public opinion, was still on the island, eating fruit, enjoying the sea breeze, and basking in the sun without sunlight. The only downside was that none of the three guys around him were easy to deal with.
Since Die'er and Su Yun's elemental level increased significantly, Die'er has become unpredictable in her daily life, especially when she is with the quiet Linglong. They always bicker. Linglong, perhaps because of her recognition of her master and the increase of her mist elemental level to the same level as the cloud element, has gradually become somewhat sarcastic. Although her complaints are not loud, they are extremely deadly. Su Yang has been angered by her several times. Although Linglong always coaxed her back in the end, Su Yang was always a little scared. Especially after these two gained the ability to materialize, he was afraid that they would kill him in the middle of the night.
Little Orange was also a handful. Whether it was its predatory nature or its playful spirit, it was always hunting various animals on the island and destroying the symbiotic plants of the ferocious beasts. Every few days, a ferocious beast would come to Su Yang's hut and howl menacingly. This made the neighborly relations that Su Yang had spent a long time improving tense again. Every time a ferocious beast came to the door, Little Orange would turn back into a kitten, hide behind Su Yang, and wag its tail. Its eyes seemed to tell everyone that it was not afraid.
All of this tormented Su Yang every day, so he simply gave up and fell in love with fishing. Every day, besides fishing, he farmed. In the process of fishing, he learned a lot about marine fish and ferocious sea beasts. At the same time, his cautious nature led Su Yang to start preparing to build a ship. Su Yang always felt that many people would come to the Misty Island, so after Hawkins' team left, he began the shipbuilding plan. However, due to his lack of experience, he could only slowly figure it out. Each attempt ended in failure, which allowed him to accumulate a lot of experience. With improvements day after day, he finally built something that could be called a ship. It was about 6 meters long and 4 meters wide, with two small floors, equipped with two hand-cranked propellers, a small hut for resting and sleeping, a mast, and a large sail.
The key to Su Yang's repeated failures in shipbuilding was the hand-cranked propeller. After all, the vast ocean was surrounded by turbulent waves, and the storms around him had been relentless since Su Yang came to this world. If the ship was too small or did not have a hand-cranked propeller, it would be impossible to pass through. Relying on elemental power might be easier, but it would consume too much energy. Su Yang did not want to repeat the problems he had encountered before due to excessive mental energy consumption.
While Su Yang was building a ship, the first group of adventurers who had gathered on the island had completed their final preparations and set off for the Lost Island. However, a week after their departure, they returned to the island in a sorry state.
Upon their return, the second group of adventurers, who were preparing to depart, inquired about the situation and learned that the island was surrounded by thunderstorms. Ships had to find areas where the thunderstorms were relatively weak to pass. The first group of adventurers found several such areas, but without exception, they were all blocked by the ferocious sea beasts that roamed there. These areas were the territory of the beasts. Although the individual beasts were not strong, they were social creatures and could not withstand the sheer number of them. As a result, the first group of adventurers, who fought individually, were all defeated and fled back to the island in a sorry state.
Upon hearing this news, the second group of adventurers abandoned their idea of setting sail immediately and began searching for allies on the island to embark on a joint journey and increase their chances of success.
Meanwhile, the fever for the lost island had not yet subsided when Su Yang destroyed his own hut, took all the food and Little Orange, boarded a small boat, bid farewell to the lost island, and headed towards the sea.
