Chapter 373 Marine Debris
The crowd was tightly packed, as if they wouldn't let Lu Youyou leave until she showed them the contents of the treasure chest.
Lu Youyou certainly has ways to kill or drive these people away, but when others come and see the otters and fishing rods, the same problem will still arise.
She couldn't possibly kill everyone.
It's better to satisfy everyone's curiosity.
"Don't push me. I'll open the treasure chest in front of everyone, and we can all see it together."
Upon hearing Lu Youyou's words, those people consciously stepped back, giving her enough room to maneuver.
Lu Youyou opened the treasure chest and took out the fragrant fish bait to show everyone.
The crowd sighed in dismay.
"Just a packet of fragrant fish bait? It's not the treasure I was looking for."
"If the treasure chest given by the otter doesn't contain anything good, how did Kida get this automatic fishing rod?"
"Yeah, Ji Tian, could you please give us a heads-up about whether it's a mission or murder? At least let us have a goal to strive for and know where to focus our efforts."
"..."
The crowd became noisy again, and Lu Youyou chose the one they trusted most from their statements.
Let's embellish it a bit, and explain it in a way that's half true and half false.
"It's obtained by completing a quest. The otter gives you fishing gear, while the quest rewards you with a fishing rod."
"And I should also mention that the faster you submit your task, the better the reward you can choose. This fishing rod is the reward I received for being the first to submit my task."
The crowd exclaimed, "Just as I expected!"
Someone asked, "Jitian, when are you going to use that bag of fragrant fish bait?"
"I'd love to use it now, but the problem is there's no quest. Fish caught outside of quest periods can't be submitted as quests, doesn't everyone know that?" Lu Youyou said.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the watches vibrated.
Everyone simultaneously looked down at their watches.
[Mission: Catch a four-star or higher creature within one hour.]
Now, Lu Youyou couldn't refuse, and generously invited everyone to join her.
"Does anyone have any fragrant bait? Let's release it together; it'll attract more fish."
"I have some! I'll put it in with you!"
"I have it too!"
Whoever provides the fragrant bait stands on the shore for easy catching of fish.
The others were just taking advantage of the opportunity to catch fish, grabbing their preferred spots based on their agility and strength.
Once the argument subsided and everyone had found their place, the situation became clear.
Lu Youyou was the first to throw in the fragrant bait, and the others followed suit.
The fish floated to the surface, their backs of different colors densely packed together.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lu Youyou called out to her friends and acquaintances.
The fish attracted silently entered her bucket, and her five-star fishing rod kept catching fish.
Lu Youyou took the four-star net and filled a bag with it in one go.
Nobody earns more than her.
The fish dispersed, and so did the people, all returning to their respective positions to submit their tasks.
Lu Youyou also submitted her task.
Congratulations on becoming the 100th angler to submit a task! Please choose one of the following options.
【Fragrant Bait: Selecting this option will give you fragrant bait that attracts large schools of fish.】
[Increase Fishing Line Strength: Selecting this option will increase the strength of your fishing line.]
[Hook +1: Selecting this option will increase your hook count by one. The hook level will match the fishing rod level.]
[Abandon Selection: Choosing this option will grant you a random supply of resources, which could be valuable items or marine debris.]
Lu Youyou was very satisfied with her fishing rod setup and had no intention of adding any more hooks or anything else.
As for the fragrant bait, it wasn't anything special to Lu Youyou, who could easily gather friends and companions.
She clicked on the last option and gave up her choice.
A dilapidated wooden box appeared on the screen, covered with seaweed, swaying as Lu Youyou shook her watch.
Click on the wooden box to reveal its contents.
【Five-star fishhook *1】
Well, I might as well have just chosen a fishing hook. I made her wait for several seconds for nothing.
Lu Youyou attached the fishhook to the five-star fishing rod, turning it into a three-hook five-star fishing rod.
It helps a little, but not much.
The mission is complete, now it's time to rest. The sun is quite strong outside, so Lu Youyou is getting ready to get in the car and rest.
As soon as she turned around, a loud thud came from behind her, and water droplets splashed on her, bringing a cold touch.
What landed was a treasure chest, which had been hooked up by a fishing hook.
Such a commotion attracted the attention of others; those nearby glanced at it out of the corner of their eye, while those further away quietly moved closer to take a look.
Lu Youyou opened the treasure chest, and a stench hit her, making her dizzy.
Inside was a dark green, gelatinous substance; it was impossible to tell what it was.
If you stare at it for too long, the virtual instruction manual will activate.
[Marine debris: The odor can linger for up to three days after human contact; please keep your distance.]
Lu Youyou: ……
She really wanted to kick the pile of garbage back into the sea, but then she thought that it wasn't entirely useless.
At the very least, it can be used as a tracker, since the stench lingers for three days.
Thinking of this, Lu Youyou closed the lid and put the box and trash back into the backpack compartment.
"Kita, what are these props in here? Why do they smell so bad?"
Before Lu Youyou could answer, someone in the crowd spoke up.
"This is marine debris. If you see it, just throw it away. I touched it last time, and it took three days for the smell to go away."
Some people gloated over Lu Youyou's plight, while others pondered other uses for marine debris; everyone seemed lost in thought.
Lu Youyou didn't care what they were thinking, and pushed through the crowd to get into the car herself.
She remembered that Zhan Yu had given her a lot of empty capsule shells before, which she thought were useless and put in a storage box under the bed.
