As Rowan Rhodes dealt with them one by one, the server-wide announcements for killing the Abyssal Sea Serpents flashed continuously across the World Channels of every zone.

With the first announcement, players thought Rowan was quite impressive for actually managing to kill one.

With the second, they thought she was genuinely amazing to have taken down two.

By the third, the players were bewildered, wondering, ”Why is there another one? Is this today’s quota?”

By the fourth, they felt a sense of sympathy. Two yesterday and two today—Boss Rowan really had it tough! But she still managed to eliminate them all.

By the fifth, the players fell silent, thinking, ”There’s more?”

By the sixth, the players were in an uproar. How could there be so many Abyssal Sea Serpents? Would there be a seventh or an eighth?

After waiting for a long time and confirming that there were only six, players across all zones reflected on the emotional rollercoaster they had just experienced, still utterly shell-shocked.

”Oh my god! Six of them! Boss Rowan is insanely awesome!”

”We can’t even encounter one, and she runs into six straight away. Just how terrifying is her Strength?”

”Did Boss Rowan poke a snake’s nest?”

”There were two Abyssal Sea Serpents yesterday, so the remaining four must be today’s batch. On the first day of the Virus Calamity, she fought a Boss-level Abyssal Octopus; on the second day, two Boss-level Abyssal Sea Serpents; and on the third day, four Boss-level Abyssal Sea Serpents. A bigshot’s calamity is truly on a whole different level compared to us ordinary folks.”

”Then why didn’t she deal with the two Abyssal Sea Serpents on the second day? Why did she save them to finish off together today?”

”Wasn’t she hiding from the Abyssal Sea Serpents yesterday? We all thought she was just lying low like the rest of us! But today turned out completely different.”

”Her raft probably underwent some changes today, giving her the means to deal with the Abyssal Sea Serpents.”

”I feel like it’s not the raft, but some other advantage she gained.”

”Could it be an island?”

”The ocean is definitely the Abyssal Sea Serpents’ home turf. According to the data, they’re incredibly difficult to deal with in the water. But if she made it to an island, it would be a different story.”

”So, the boss has already found her fourth island?”

”It’s highly likely. We can just wait for the news.”

”...”

While the players were analyzing her situation, Rowan had already stored away her newly acquired resources and returned to Void Isle. Then, she stepped off her raft.

The moment her feet touched the ground of Void Isle, the system indeed issued a new notification.

[Congratulations on landing on your fourth island. The Multi-Island Mode has now been unlocked. Reward: Bronze Treasure Chest x1.]

Looking at the notification on her interface, Rowan noticed it lacked the ”Server-Wide Announcement” header. She understood that this was a private notification meant only for her.

The Sea Survival Game clearly had no intention of informing all players that starting from the fourth island, they would directly enter Multi-Island Mode. This meant that within a single navigational segment, there was more than one island.

As players eventually arrived at this stage, the Multi-Island Mode wouldn’t remain a secret for long. But since the Sea Survival Game didn’t explicitly announce it, everyone naturally assumed it wasn’t important. Naturally, many players would simply choose to keep sailing forward.

Rowan now pondered whether she should put this piece of information up for sale. The thought flashed through her mind, and she quickly made a decision.

Yes! Absolutely!

After all, starting from the fourth island, certain islands containing special materials could spawn. In her past life, many players even speculated that a significant number of special islands were never discovered because they hadn’t been triggered.

There was no way she could spawn and explore so many islands on her own. Naturally, she had to mobilize the Strength of all the players. The more they explored, the more special resources would be uncovered, which would in turn help the players gain a deeper understanding of the Sea Survival Game.

With this in mind, Rowan began drafting another information-based commodity.

[Item: ”Rowan Rhodes Tells You: The Fourth Island Unlocks Multi-Island Mode. I Recommend...”]

[Price: 1 Trading Coin]

Looking at the title she had come up with, the corners of Rowan’s lips curled up slightly. With a title like this, a lot of players would definitely buy it!

After ensuring that the content she wrote didn’t reveal too much futuristic knowledge and read more like a helpful tip mixed with her personal speculation, Rowan officially listed the item for sale.
