Yang Yi approaches the armor. Confirming it has no hostile intentions, he reaches out and touches it. The top half of the armor vanishes, absorbed into his Charred Worm-Ring."Do I look like the kind of person who would wear this?" he asks, glancing at Suna.She wants to say yes, but she holds her tongue.He then stores the bottom half of the armor in his now-well-done stomach-pouch. This way, even if it tries something, it will be easily subdued. Like Broken Iron, this equipment is likely inhabited by a resentful spirit; he'll have to find the right time to test it. But now is not that time. There are still over three thousand units of wood on the island waiting to be sold. He picks up the Intermediate Craftsman's Inscription Stone, planning to enhance the Serpent's Tooth with it later.He and Suna spend the next two hours collecting the rest of ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) the wood. It all sells out at a price of 27 Conch Coins per unit.When it's all done, Yang Yi's balance has reached a staggering 1,521,070 Conch Coins. Over 1.52 million.And the sun is rising.His stamina is below 30. If not for his frenzied state, he'd likely have already passed out. "I'm going to rest for a bit," he says to Suna."Wait!" she calls out, pulling a bottle containing a pure, sapphire-blue potion from her satchel. "You need to drink one of these."He recognizes it as the sleeping potion. "No thanks," he refuses. "I drink that, I'll probably sleep for a whole day. It'll waste time.""But you need to drink it!" Suna's gaze is intense, her expression serious. It's not a suggestion.He can't win against her. He takes the potion and downs it. As he walks toward the cabin, he calls out, "Remember to deploy the twilight curtain when you stop the ship!"He collapses onto his bed and is instantly lost to a deep, heavy sleep.Suna stands in the room, placing the remaining fourteen bottles of sleeping potion by his bedside. She was so insistent because she can tell his mental state has deteriorated. The statue was proof. In the process of creation, people, consciously or not, embed their emotions into their work. She forced the potion on him because just a sleeping potion might not be enough. Her concern for him has grown beyond seeing him as a rare specimen. It's become… something else.………….Yang Yi sleeps for over twenty hours.When he wakes, it's the morning of the next day. His spirit, stamina, and health are all full. He checks the world map; the Nyxstar has moved on. His private messages are blinking. It's a note from Suna."Drink at least one bottle a week!"He looks at the fourteen bottles by his bed. Wait, he thinks, I gave her ten bottles of holy water. Shouldn't that make twenty potions? I drank one, gave one to the Collector… there should be eighteen left. He briefly wonders if there's a failure rate, or if Suna drank some herself, but quickly dismisses it.Her second message makes him laugh."I used the Crow's Nest skill, didn't find a second island. Also, aren't you going to give me some money, seeing as you made so much!"He looks at the massive number in his account and smiles. He's never been stingy. He transfers her 321,070 coins, leaving himself with a neat 1.2 million for gear and supplies. He peeks into her room and sees she's still asleep.He moves on to a message from Song Yingwen, who had been asking about the Collector all night."Yang Yi, what's your situation right now?" was his last message."Sorry, I was asleep," Yang Yi replies."You're alive?""You think a dead man would reply?"On the other end, a chill runs down Song Yingwen's spine. Last night, another player had encountered the Collector. That player's account is now deleted."Did you complete the trade?" Song asks."Yes.""Quick, send me the intel! This week's issue will be a massive seller!"Yang Yi compiles his information, including his own speculation and the photo of the statue he'd made, and sends it over. A few minutes pass."What the hell did you send me," Song writes back, "this is so messed up, it just cost me 30 Sanity!""That's a statue I made," Yang Yi explains. "It proves that the Collector doesn't just want equipment. Players have time to prepare items. I even think you could ask the Collector what it wants.""That might not be a good idea!" Song replies immediately. "The guy last night tried asking, and then his account was deleted. It was less than two minutes from when he asked to when he was gone."
