Chapter 358 The Great Prize Mission
"With your fucking stupid brain, I'm too lazy to argue with you. You can't even see through people."
Liu Hui sat back down, her chest heaving.
Judging from her expression, she seemed even angrier than Lu Youyou.
Lu Youyou suddenly burst out laughing, a muffled laugh emanating from her chest.
"Don't let me catch you."
She spoke softly, almost inaudible to herself.
The float suddenly bobbed, and Lu Youyou, without thinking of anything else, immediately reeled in the line.
[One-star squid*1: Weighs 1kg, non-toxic and edible.]
Now, Lu Youyou has finally collected 10 one-star fish... well, there are also crabs and shrimp.
Lu Youyou tapped the watch and brought up the bucket page.
Click "Select All", then uncheck the two-star saury. The selected items are the ones you need to submit.
Congratulations on becoming the 9th angler to complete the task! Please choose one of the following rewards.
[Highly Sensitive Fishing Float: Selecting this option allows you to easily detect bites from fish as small as 1g, and it also features a microcurrent alert function.]
[Automatic stress relief: Selecting this option will allow you to withstand only 80% of the force exerted by a struggling fish while fishing.]
[Hook +1: Selecting this option will add another hook to your fishing rod. Rest assured, the hooks will not tangle.]
There were three options in total. Lu Youyou easily eliminated the third option and hesitated between the first two.
The first option is primarily for finding and catching small fish.
The second option is for reducing the force of catching large fish.
Lu Youyou's biggest wish is to catch a high-star fish.
Because when submitting a task, you can use a high-star fish to replace a low-star fish, but you cannot use a low-star fish to replace a high-star fish.
In Lu Youyou's limited fishing experience, fish that meet both of the following criteria are considered to be of a higher star rating: rare and large.
Rare high-star fish are not necessarily large, and she may not notice when they bite the hook.
However, she will definitely notice if a large, high-star fish bites the hook.
Therefore, it seems more appropriate to choose a highly sensitive fishing float.
After all, she wasn't a seasoned angler and couldn't tell whether the float was moving because of the current or because a fish had taken the bait.
By the time she realized the fish had taken the bait, the fishing line was already taut; even a blind person could tell the fish was hooked.
Lu Youyou made up her mind and chose a highly sensitive fishing float.
The next second, the orange-red float on the fishing rod turned dark purple, and there was a light purple lightning bolt symbol on the float.
Lu Youyou hooked a millipede onto her fishing hook and cast her line.
Although it's her rest time now, the fish she catches can't be submitted for the next task.
But Lu Youyou was really curious about how the microcurrent alerted her that the fish had arrived.
Suddenly, Lu Youyou felt a sharp pain in her finger, as if she had been bitten by some small insect.
Without hesitation, she lifted the rod, and a fish, almost as flat as a wide noodle, dangled in the air.
[One 1-star halibut: weighing 0.03kg, currently juvenile, edible but with little meat.]
It came with a three-star rating right away, but unfortunately it can't be used when submitting the next task.
But Lu Youyou couldn't bear to throw away the flounder, so she simply kept it in a high-end breeding cage.
Fish cages don't distinguish between saltwater and freshwater fish; as long as they are fish, they are considered the same kind and can be kept together.
Having witnessed how microcurrents provide warnings, Lu Youyou put away her fishing rod.
It's already 11:55 a.m., she should eat lunch.
It should be said that everyone should be eating now, and it's her turn to make money.
Lu Youyou removed the previous multi-category menu link and made a new one, where only the mushroom and chicken noodle soup option is available.
This method is less time-consuming and allows for quick completion and shipment.
After posting the link, Lu Youyou sent a message on the public chat.
[Lu Youyou: Everyone's busy fishing, right? No time to cook? If you want a hot meal, come buy my mushroom and chicken noodles. Orders close at 12 PM.]
Because she spoke in the public chat, people were able to chat privately, make purchases, and trade through her avatar.
Otherwise, she wouldn't want to post it, as it would seem strange and provoke hatred.
After sending the message, Lu Youyou packed up her fishing rod and got into her car.
Otherwise, if the watch vibrates violently for a while, it will be noticed by someone with ulterior motives.
What's the point of her wearing a mask then?
Back in the car, Lu Youyou first told the three little ones about the situation outside.
As soon as it hit midnight, she took down the link for the mushroom and chicken noodles.
Then, the food factory was opened, and 3908 servings of mushroom and chicken noodles were made at once, one of which was for her.
Xiao Lu assisted with the delivery, while Lu Youyou ate her noodles heartily.
She was so hungry that she had been so busy fishing all morning that she hadn't had time to eat anything to tide her over.
"Clang, clang."
There was a knock on the car door.
Lu Youyou went to the window, opened it, and leaned out: "What are you doing?"
Zhen Youwei chuckled and said, "I saw you were tired and thought you didn't have time to cook, so I bought you a bowl of noodles from Lu Youyou."
"Really?" Lu Youyou asked, "And you, have you eaten?"
"Don't worry about me, I bought two portions, one for each of us."
"Thanks, I just bought some too, and I'm eating them now."
"Okay, by the way, Xiaotian, let's add each other as friends. Next time I need to contact you, I won't have to knock on the car door. It'll be convenient for both of us."
Lu Youyou neither agreed nor refused, but stubbornly asked, "Then why will you look for me next time?"
"Well... no one can say for sure what will happen next."
"Since we might not have a next time, let's not add each other as friends for now. I don't like adding strangers, Uncle Zhen, can you understand?"
Zhen Youwei wasn't angry at being rejected; he remained cheerful.
"Of course I can understand. You young people seem to distinguish yourselves by the terms 'i' and 'e', right? I'm an 'e' person, and Xiaotian, you're an 'i' person, haha."
Zhen Youwei didn't press the matter further and took the noodles back.
Lu Youyou closed the window and then drew the privacy curtain.
The moment he turned around, his calm expression turned impatient.
She turned on her watch and checked the backend information for the mushroom and chicken noodle dish.
Total number of orders: 3907; Total number of dishes ordered: 3907.
In other words, each person only ordered one serving of noodles for themselves; there was no situation where one person bought two servings of noodles.
Why did Zhen Youwei lie to her?
Did they discover something and are testing me?
Never mind. Just adapt to the situation.
Fearing that a task might be assigned during her meal and cause her to miss something, Lu Youyou wolfed down her food.
In one minute, she finished the whole bowl of noodles.
Then he took out a bottle of mineral water and drank half of it in one go.
Once her stomach was full, Lu Youyou began to nibble on the chicken in her noodle bowl.
The chicken pieces aren't all the same; some are tough to chew, while others are easy, making it quite interesting to eat.
hum~
My watch suddenly vibrated.
[Big Prize Mission: Catch three three-star or higher creatures within one hour.]
Note: This task is not mandatory. Anglers are free to choose not to accept it, but failure to complete it after acceptance will result in a penalty.
Just by looking at the name of the task, Lu Youyou knew that completing it would yield a great reward, and she was very tempted.
It's important to know that a highly sensitive fishing float will not miss any information about a fish taking the bait.
Besides the millipedes that fish like, she also has live bamboo worms that she hasn't brought out yet.
She absolutely had to take on this task.
If she holds so many advantages and still cowers in fear, then she's truly a coward.
