Seeing the little turtle's reaction, Jiang An's tone softened slightly: "Little turtle, Mommy isn't blaming you, I just want you to know that some things are dangerous and you can't just try them."

The little turtle raised its head and looked at Jiang An, its eyes filled with guilt and self-reproach.

Jiang An was finally satisfied after receiving the little turtle's apology: "Good boy, that's a good boy from Mommy!"

Then, she opened her private messages and sent a message to He Zhizhou.

"We don't have an icebreaker yet, we urgently need one!"

She wasn't sure if an icebreaker could reach the island ahead, so she sent the message twice more.

"We don't have an icebreaker yet, we urgently need one!"

"We don't have an icebreaker yet, we urgently need one!"

Fortunately, the other party replied quickly.

"Yes, I just traded some materials for crafting icebreakers with another player, and I have a few extra. I'll send you the rest!"

Soon, Jiang An received four icebreakers. He Zhizhou: "Didn't I give you four this morning? Not enough?"

Jiang An: "It's enough, but I just spotted a small island ahead, so I'm not sure if that will be enough!"

Discovering a small island at sea wasn't something that needed to be kept secret, so she told the other party without hesitation.

"Congratulations! If you need more ice breakers, I'll save you a few more."

Jiang An: "Okay, thank you. What materials are needed to make an icebreaker? Maybe I have some here?"

He Zhizhou: "Copper and silver, if you have them, I'll give you a friendly price of 6 copper or 4 silver for an icebreaker."

Upon seeing the reply, Jiang An opened his backpack and found that he had a lot of copper but not much silver. He immediately decided to take out 60 copper coins to exchange for 10 icebreakers, enough for the next two days.

"How about we exchange 10 icebreakers for copper?"

He Zhizhou: "Okay, but we don't have any in stock. Can we get it to you before dark?"

He Zhizhou had an incredible stroke of luck this time, actually getting the blueprint for an icebreaker, which is both amazing and frustrating!

What I love is that this is a treasure; with it, I can easily break the ice to fish and harvest a large amount of supplies.

What I hate is that as a soldier, I'm really not good at bargaining with those shrewd players.

Fortunately, he successfully completed the transaction, gaining not only a large amount of supplies but also making some new friends.

Of course, he couldn't handle so many things on his own, so he handed over part of the icebreaker business to his former superior.

After all, those who can become leaders are all intelligent and good at business!

Jiang An readily agreed, "Sure! It would be a pleasure to work with you!"

After obtaining four icebreakers, Jiang An's joy intensified, and she became increasingly confident about her trip to the island.

After all, this was the first island she had discovered after sailing in her steamship for so long.

It remains to be seen what surprises and gains this mysterious island will bring her.

At this moment, there was still some distance between the steamship and the island, so Jiang An decided to return to the cabin to make ample preparations in advance.

After all, she has very limited time to set foot on the island. Before dark today and tomorrow, and deducting the time needed to sail 300 kilometers and go into the sea tomorrow, she only has one day to explore the island.

Therefore, she must ensure that she acquires as many useful resources and information as possible in this short period of time.

"Ash, when the steamship reaches the edge of the island, please stop immediately and notify me via voice!" Jiang An gave Ash the instruction without hesitation.

[Master, Ash has received this!]

Then, she turned to the little turtle and gently whispered, "Little turtle, you stay here and keep a close eye on that island in front of us. Make sure it doesn't get out of our sight."

As he spoke, Jiang An took out a piece of crystal-clear ice marrow from his backpack and gently placed it into the little turtle's mouth.

Upon hearing this, the little turtle immediately nodded happily in response and quickly ran to the bow of the boat, obediently lying there and staring intently at the small island in front of it without blinking.

Seeing this, Jiang An smiled, shook her head, and turned back to her bedroom.

She quickly changed into a light and neat outfit, then put on a pair of tight-fitting boots in case any unknown creatures on the island crawled onto her body.

Next, she opened the trading channel and bought several axes for chopping trees and several iron pickaxes for mining.

After making these preparations, she went to the workshop and selected some necessary weapons from the storage shelf.

Finally, she picked up two apples and went back to the deck.

When the little turtle saw Jiang An return, it immediately pointed its little head proudly to the small island in front of it, indicating to Jiang An that it had been observing carefully and had not been slacking off.

Jiang An was amused by the little turtle's adorable antics and burst into laughter. She gently stroked the turtle's head and praised, "Little turtle, you're so great! This is a reward for you!"

As he spoke, he tossed the apple in his hand directly to it.

The man and the turtle ate while watching the island getting closer and closer.

"Little turtle, what do you think is on the island? Will we have a big harvest?" Jiang An asked the little turtle with great interest, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

She ate her food while observing the gradually clearer outline of the island ahead.

"You must protect Mommy if you encounter danger!" Jiang An gently patted the little turtle's head and said.

The little turtle made a "gurgling" sound, seemingly responding to Jiang An's words and indicating that it would do its best to protect her.

Jiang An continued chattering, "Little turtle, let's explore this island together later! Let's see if there are any precious treasures or mysterious places. If there are, that would be amazing!" Her face was filled with excitement and curiosity.

"Gurgle~~Gurgle," the little turtle made a sound again, as if telling Jiang An that it was ready.

And so, Jiang An continued to communicate with the little turtle, sharing his expectations and worries about the unknown island.

The little turtle stayed by her side the whole time, responding to her words in its own unique way.

Finally, after a long voyage, the ship arrived near the island.

Jiang An excitedly disembarked from the ship, eager to explore this mysterious island.

She carefully set foot on this unfamiliar land with her little turtle in tow.

A light mist hung over the island, making the surroundings appear somewhat hazy.

Jiang An looked around warily, not daring to let his guard down.

She carefully took out two masks from her backpack, put one on herself, and then carefully put the other on the little turtle.

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect Mom!" The little turtle's firm voice suddenly echoed in my mind.

Hearing this, Jiang An felt incredibly warm inside. She happily patted the little turtle's head and encouraged it, "Well done, little turtle!"

Then, Jiang An bravely walked forward with the little turtle, gripping his weapon tightly, ready to deal with any potential dangers.

They walked cautiously across the island, carefully observing everything around them.

However, after walking for a while, Jiang An found that the place seemed unusually quiet, with no signs of any living creatures.

This puzzled her, but it also fueled her curiosity.

However, at that moment, she heard a faint sound, like someone breathing softly.

Jiang An tensed up, gripped her weapon tightly, and looked around warily.

Suddenly, a figure burst out of the mist and pounced straight at her.

Jiang An had no time to react and could only instinctively raise his weapon to defend himself.
