The ship's log offered many convenient features. But outside of it, the world was practically indistinguishable from reality.
For example, chopping down trees required both strength and skill, especially when using a stone axe that wasn't very sharp and caused a jarring impact.
After cutting down the largest coconut tree, Yang Yi's energy dropped by 13 points, leaving him with just 30 points.
With full energy, he could at most chop down about five trees. Any more, and it would be too much; when energy fell below 30, there would be the risk of fainting.
Once the tree fell, Yang Yi imdiately began collecting coconuts. As he picked one up, a smile spread across his face.

Without hesitation, Yang Yi split one open and drank it, gaining an energy recovery buff. It was exactly what Yang Yi desperately needed, making the trip a great success.
He then opened the bronze chest, and several glowing orbs imdiately fell out, transforming into three items upon contact.

Yang Yi smiled and turned his gaze towards the coastline, eyeing the plentiful coconuts, while twirling the axe in his hand.
Whenever his energy neared 30, he would lie on the beach to rest and continue chopping once he recovered.
By dusk, he had chopped down four trees, collecting 38 Vitality Coconuts and 43 units of wood, all of which he transported back to the Nightmare.
He didn't plan to leave yet, deciding instead to spend the night on the ship and continue chopping the next day. But before boarding, he made a new discovery.
A luminous trail on the beach, about a hundred tres from Yang Yi, caught his attention. As the sky darkened, it emitted a faint glow, which was how he had noticed it.
The trail led inland, the glowing substance appearing to be so kind of biological mucus, reeking of a foul stench.
He took a few steps along the trail towards the island’s interior. Without the interference of waves, it was more distinct and easier to follow. From its shape, it resembled the trail left by a snake-like being slithering across the ground.
Yang Yi estimated its size by asuring with his hand — it was at least half a tre thick, indicating a sizable creature!
“Not spending the night ashore was definitely the right decision!” Yang Yi changed his mind, deciding not to stay by the shore and instead moving further away, suspecting there was so large creature on the island. He gripped his flintlock gun tightly, scanning his surroundings with caution as he backed away.
