Chapter 368 Aquatic Assistant
Lu Youyou immediately accepted the grand prize task and submitted the five-star starfish in the bucket as quickly as possible.
The total duration shall not exceed ten seconds.
hum~
Congratulations on becoming the first angler to complete the grand prize mission! Please choose two rewards from the following list.
[Four-Star Landing Net *1: Selecting this option will make the net strangely attractive to fish when you use it, but if you don't lift the net in time, the fish will escape.]
[Mystery Blind Box *1: Select this option. What you get is entirely up to your luck; it might be valuable items, or it might be marine debris. Note: Cannot be opened by other people or pets on your behalf.]
[Watery Helper *1: Selecting this option will grant you a watery helper during the fishing competition. Note: The helper requires a three-star or higher catch and will automatically flee if its hunger level drops below 30%.]
[Add Electric Current to Fishhook: Selecting this option will automatically release an electric current when you hook a fish, stunning it for ten seconds regardless of its size.]
As expected of a reward that can only be chosen by the first place winner, Lu Youyou wants all four of them.
However, since she could only choose two, Lu Youyou had to use the process of elimination.
The mystery box was ruled out first. Although she was living a good life, that was Da Rui's luck, not her own.
If she were to open a blind box, who knows what she'd get—maybe a pile of ocean trash.
Applying an electric current to the fishhook is the second exclusion method.
After all, she is a fish-woman now, and she can call on friends and companions, so she shouldn't lack fish. There's no need to add an electric current to the fishing hook.
Although she really wanted to upgrade her fishing rod, it was clear that the remaining two options were what Lu Youyou was most interested in at the moment.
Lu Youyou took a deep breath and chose the four-star landing net and the water helper.
The net automatically enters the backpack slot, while the helper in the water is an egg on the screen...?
After a few seconds of surprise, the eggshell suddenly broke open, and a cute little otter emerged from it.
The little otter stood there, shaking its head, with a speech bubble appearing next to its head.
[I'm so hungry...]
How do you feed a virtual pet when it's hungry?
Lu Youyou stared at the bare background page, feeling somewhat lost.
She tentatively tapped the otter's belly.
[Ugh... They won't give me food, and they even rub my tummy! How mean!]
emmm...
If it's not the stomach, could it be the mouth?
Lu Youyou tapped its mouth again.
Yes, that's where we eat.
Is this awkward?
Lu Youyou was dumbfounded.
She couldn't tap the mouth, nor the belly; the entire page consisted of a standing otter and a vast blue ocean, and she couldn't tap anything.
"Forget it, let's just do the regular tasks."
She felt a little bad that she had wasted a choice opportunity. She didn't know how to use the Water Assistant she chose, and she didn't even know where to find the satiety value.
If you can't feed the fish and their satiety level drops to 30%, isn't it only a matter of time before the otters run away?
With a sigh, Lu Youyou got out of the car, walked to her fishing spot, and took out her fishing rod.
“Hiss…”
Liu Hui suddenly let out a strange hissing sound.
Lu Youyou turned her head, but before she could ask a question, she saw Liu Hui pointing to her watch, indicating that she should look at it.
Lu Youyou didn't say anything, but opened the mind-reading broadcast page on her watch and saw Liu Hui's thoughts.
[This person's inner thoughts: I'm using fragrant bait now, and you guys are using this as an opportunity to invite your friends. Can I share some of the extra fish you catch?]
Just as Lu Youyou was about to reply, Zheng Feng, who was sitting to her left, suddenly stood up and moved closer to her.
"Kita, I've received an identity mission and need to leave first. Last time I was in danger, you were the one who rescued me, so I'll trouble you to keep an eye on your watch to see if there are any missions related to me."
Lu Youyou nodded, and Zheng Feng left with peace of mind.
Liu Hui was a little confused and unconsciously asked, "What happened to her?"
"It's her private matter, and I shouldn't pry. I just told her to keep an eye on my watch and see if there are any distress messages from her," Lu Youyou said, half-jokingly.
"Oh."
Whether Liu Hui believed it or not, she stopped paying attention to Zheng Feng and returned to the previous topic.
"How was your suggestion earlier? Let's cooperate for mutual benefit."
"Sure, but how many do you want?"
"Hehe, not many, just ten three-star ones."
Lu Youyou didn't know how many fish she could attract by calling on her friends, or what the star rating of the fish would be, so she didn't dare to agree immediately.
"How about this, if you catch a lot, I'll accept the terms I just mentioned. If you catch less than what I'm offering, I'll just accept one."
Before Lu Youyou could speak, Liu Hui added, "Of course I believe you won't end up that badly."
"Even if it's really that bad, I'll still have plenty of fish here. By then, you won't be able to tell whether the fish you catch are attracted by me or by you."
Lu Youyou subtly observed Liu Hui, recalling the personal panel Liu Hui had shown her earlier.
Aside from mind-reading, which poses a slight threat, other martial arts and judo are not worth mentioning, otherwise they wouldn't be ranked so low.
"can."
Lu Youyou agreed.
Since her identity as a fishman had already been exposed to Liu Hui, and Liu Hui was willing to help her cover it up, why shouldn't she take advantage of the situation?
"Okay, I'll release the fragrant bait right away!"
As she spoke, Liu Hui produced a packet of bait.
She didn't throw it in front of herself, but rather between herself and Lu Youyou.
The scent of the bait wafted out, attracting fish from all directions to swim this way.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lu Youyou called out to her friends, and even more fish came along the way.
hum~
The watch was vibrating, but Lu Youyou didn't dare to look.
A large crowd gathered around, and it was possible that some observant people would notice something amiss.
She followed the example of the others, thanking Liu Hui while taking out a net to scoop it up.
Gradually, the fish disappeared.
Even though there is still fragrant bait on the water's surface, only certain fish are vying for it, while others ignore it, as if it has vanished into thin air.
Someone noticed something was wrong and started shouting.
"What's going on? There's so much bait on the surface, why did the fish go?"
"Yeah! I also saw a golden fish, it looked like a really good one, but it was gone just as I was about to catch it!"
"Damn, I'm not the only one who encountered this. I thought I was seeing things."
Lu Youyou didn't speak; she was observing the situation to see if anyone had noticed her.
In fact, those people were so busy complaining and grabbing the remaining fish that they didn't suspect anything else.
Once all the bait has been eaten by the fish, the school of fish disperses.
After giving Liu Hui a few fish as payment, the crowd dispersed.
Many people returned to their seats, fiddled with their watches, and submitted their tasks.
Lu Youyou also opened her watch and immediately saw the notification that her watch vibrated after she used the "Call Friends" feature.
[The "Invite Friends" skill is in effect; you don't need to fish, the fish will automatically enter your unlimited bucket.]
[The "Call for Friends" skill has ended. A total of 30 two-star creatures, 78 three-star creatures, 14 four-star creatures, and 3 five-star creatures were obtained this time.]
So that's how the skill works! With her doubts resolved, Lu Youyou clicked to submit the regular task.
Please select three creatures with a star rating of three stars or higher that you wish to submit. Currently selected: 0/3
On the selection page, a fish with a completely golden body instantly caught Lu Youyou's attention.
The golden glowing fish that people complained about suddenly disappearing was right in my bucket; I have no idea how it got in there.
In addition, she caught several fish that Liu Hui had attracted with bait, greatly increasing her stock.
She randomly selected three three-star fish and submitted the task.
Congratulations on becoming the 324th angler to complete the task! Please choose one of the following rewards.
[Fishhook +1: Selecting this option will increase your fishhook count by one.]
[Bucket Expansion: Select this option to make your bucket larger.]
[Abandon Selection: Choosing this option will grant you a random reward.]
Lu Youyou didn't want to choose any of these three options, especially the one about expanding the water bucket.
The initial bucket is an infinite bucket. Even if you expand it, what difference does it make? It's still infinite.
As for adding a fishhook, Lu Youyou didn't want to choose that either.
Having so many fishhooks is useless to her; calling on friends and buddies is the most effective method.
After much deliberation, Lu Youyou decided to take a gamble.
Although she knew she was unlucky, she still wanted to see just how bad her luck could be.
Even if she finds a bunch of marine debris, it's not a big deal, since the other options aren't particularly appealing to her.
Tap the third option with your finger, and a red gift pack will appear on the screen.
