Su Bai realized that what happened in The Age of Fishing could not be explained with common sense.
A skill book couldn't appear in the normal world, nor would there be any monsters.
"Hey System, is there any connection between this place and the real world?"
This question seemed to have hit the system's taboo, and Su Bai waited for more than 10 minutes without getting an answer.
He could only start to ponder when he didn't get an answer.
After thinking hard for more than half an hour, he finally had to use a fantasy world theory to explain The Age of Fishing.
"It seems like there will be more items like skill books in the future." Su Bai murmured.
Su Bai shook his head and threw all those thoughts to the back of his mind and stopped thinking about them.
To Su Bai, the most important thing right now was to collect resources. If he did not have enough treasure chests, it would not be enough to support his future development.
Since he wasn't as lucky as the others, he could only use quantity to cause a qualitative change.
Treasure chest successfully opened: You've obtained Rare Blueprint: Normal Fishing Rod x 1!
"It seems like the items I get from opening the treasure chests are really different every day. Or perhaps, my luck is constantly changing every day."
After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure out the specific reason. Su Bai didn't care about them anymore. Instead, he started to look at the blueprint in his hand.
Rare Blueprint: Normal Fishing Rod
Materials Needed: Wooden Plank x 20, Silk Thread x 20, Iron Ore X 1.
Can be used to craft a Normal Fishing Rod.
A non-consumable blueprint, can be reused.
Su Bai checked the materials needed for the normal fishing rod and then glanced at his bag.
"I have all the materials I need."
Su Bai had enough materials now. On one hand, he got most of the materials by trading drinking water and the rest was collected by himself in the morning.
"Hey System, make a normal fishing rod!"

You've obtained a Rare Blueprint: Normal Fishing Rod!
With a series of system notifications, a fishing rod appeared in Su Bai's hand.
Normal Fishing Rod: Fishing success rate is 50%, odds of obtaining miscellaneous items are 90%, chances of obtaining Wooden Chests are 5%, and chances of obtaining Bronze Chests are 5%.
The fishing rod that was made from the blueprint had the same attributes as the fishing rod that was given out by the system at the beginning.
Since the fishing rod in his hand could be modified, Su Bai did not hesitate. He directly increased the probability of bronze chests and fishing success rate to 100%, while the probability of miscellaneous items and wooden chests was reduced to 0.
Looking at the extra fishing rod in his hand, Su Bai started to think, 'The system would not just let me get the blueprint of the fishing rod for no reason, which meant this fishing rod might work.
'After all, many people would bring several fishing rods when fishing in the pond, so there was no reason to say that they could only use one fishing rod.'
Su Bai immediately threw out the second fishing rod after the first.
"Wow, it really works. In this case, the resources I get will be doubled!"
Suppressing his excitement, Su Bai quickly made the third fishing rod.
Unfortunately, when Su Bai was about to throw out the newly made fishing rod, he heard the system's prompt.
The current Island Level is 0, maximum use of the fishing rod is 2. Please try again after upgrading the island.
"There's actually a limit to using the fishing rods. No wonder I found the island level 0 when I looked at it."
Since he couldn't use more fishing rods, Su Bai gave up. He was thinking of using this method to set up a few more fishing rods, but since there was a chance for the island to level up, he had to give up.
However, on second thought, the fishing rod's blueprint was also rare. The previous rare blueprint was the seawater desalinator. Currently, looking at the amount of drinking water in the trading market, no one has obtained the rare blueprint yet.
"I'm the only one who has a situation that others don't. That's what I call an advantage."
Su Bai had wanted to make a few more normal fishing rods and sell them, but he gave up on that idea after thinking about that.

"I'm really lucky today! I actually obtained another rare blueprint!"
Su Bai opened his Bag to check the blueprint.
Rare Blueprint: Machete
Materials Needed: Wooden Plank x 20, Iron Ore X 50.
Can be used to craft a Machete.
A non-consumable blueprint, can be reused.
The machete's blueprint was the same as the ordinary fishing rod's blueprint. They both indicated that it was a non-consumable blueprint and could be reused.
"It seems that once a tool blueprint reaches the rare level, it will become a non-consumable type. As for whether the seawater desalinator is a building type or will disappear after it is used up."
Su Bai checked his bag and found that he had an abundance of materials. The 50 iron ores were enough.
This was all thanks to Su Bai's perseverance in exchanging drinking water for materials over the past few days. Otherwise, with the rarity of iron ores, it might not be enough to use at this time just by opening treasure chests.

After a series of system notifications, a heavy machete appeared in Su Bai's hand.
Su Bai held the machete in his hand and casually waved it twice, accompanied by the whistling of the wind.
It was not until then that Su Bai realized his strength had reached such a shocking level. That machete was quite heavy.
However, when he held such a heavy machete in his hand, he felt that it was very light.
"Is this the change brought about by the increase in strength?"
To test its power, Su Bai hacked at the shabby thatched house.
Poor thatched house, every time there was something new, Su Bai would experiment with it first.
The wall of the thatched cottage was cut open like paper by the machete. Su Bai praised when he saw there was no crack on the blade.
"Such a fine blade! It's indeed the system's product. It's definitely the best."
With a weapon like a machete to protect himself, Su Bai was more confident and worked harder.
With the addition of another fishing rod, the fishing rate was twice as fast as before, and Su Bai almost couldn't handle it.
