Chapter 357 I know perfectly well who harmed me.
I don't know if it's because the difficulty has increased, or if the adults are deliberately trying to prevent everyone from catching fish.
Lu Youyou only managed to catch one small fish after half an hour.
I used a three-star fishing rod and a caterpillar fishing rod to catch it.
If she was having such a hard time fishing, the people on either side of her were having an even harder time, not catching a single fish and letting time slip away.
"Kita".
Liu Hui couldn't sit still any longer, her mouth itching to speak: "Let's discuss something."
"Let the fart go."
Lu Youyou couldn't catch any fish, and she couldn't stand Liu Hui's behavior, so her words became harsh.
"I want to ask where you dug up those bugs? Could you help me dig them up?"
"I didn't dig it up. It was brought from outside the instance. Aren't there bugs everywhere at night?"
Liu Hui fell silent.
After a long pause, he finally blurted out, "You knew all along that you use insects for fishing?"
Lu Youyou stared intently at Liu Hui, and said matter-of-factly, "Haven't you ever bought Lu Youyou's Fragrant Fish Bait?"
"Bought."
Didn't she remind you that fish eat insects?
"A notification has been given."
"Then if you're not going to prepare, whose fault is it?"
"I thought that was her excuse for not wanting to sell me more of herbal fish bait."
Lu Youyou fell silent; she sensed the fish had taken the bait!
"Wow!"
Two small pufferfish surfaced, both with a single star.
He picked a small pufferfish and threw it into the bucket. Lu Youyou then hung two caterpillars on the hook and swung the rod.
"Oda."
Zhen Youwei couldn't help but speak up.
"Could you sell me some insects? I really can't catch anything with earthworms."
Lu Youyou frowned; she didn't want to sell.
But everyone else was unable to catch any fish, while I caught two at the same time, which has attracted a lot of attention.
If we keep the good stuff in our own hands, there's no guarantee they won't join forces against us.
"If you really want it, just name your price, and I'll see if it's reasonable."
How about 100 gold coins for one worm?
Seeing that Lu Youyou remained silent, Zhen Youwei tried to persuade her again.
“These insects were caught by you from the insect plague, so there was no cost to them. I will only pay 150 gold coins per insect.”
"Okay, how many do you want?"
"Give me 100 first."
Lu Youyou sighed. Once this door is opened, others will definitely want to buy from her too.
However, the Rat King gave her a thousand catties of insects, and she also has a cage of bamboo worms to raise, which should last until the end of the fishing competition.
Lu Youyou guessed correctly. Right after finishing her deal with Zhen Youwei, Liu Hui came to buy his insects as well.
Next was Zhang Dan, and the person to Zhang Dan's left...
And so, the news that a girl named Jitian had insects that could be used as fish bait spread further and further.
Lu Youyou sold insects while swinging her fishing rod.
Since the fish are served very slowly, doing both at the same time doesn't conflict with the process.
The time limit was three hours, and two hours had already passed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Lu Youyou only had five one-star fish, and the mission was only halfway complete.
It seemed the caterpillars weren't appealing to the fish anymore, so Lu Youyou replaced them with millipedes.
As soon as the hook was cast into the water, the fishing line was pulled taut by the fish.
Lu Youyou didn't even have time to laugh; she kept pulling back with her hand.
[One 1-star Pacific saury: 1kg, edible.]
One-star cod: weighing 3kg, a common edible fish.
After putting the two fish into the bucket, Lu Youyou hung two more millipedes on the bucket.
If things turn around at the same time, the fishing line will be taut again within a minute of the hook being in the water.
[One-star loach*1: Weight 0.1kg, non-toxic and edible.]
[One-star blue crab*1: Weight 0.3kg, common crab, edible.]
Lu Youyou smiled as she put the loach and swimming crab into the bucket, then hooked a millipede and cast the line.
She had just rested for a while when Zhen Youwei struck up a conversation with her again.
"Xiaotian, what kind of insect are you using now?"
"Millipedes."
"Can you sell me some?"
"...Yes, but as you can see, this one is more effective than the caterpillar one, so it's more expensive."
"Is 200 gold coins enough?"
"can."
Lu Youyou felt a sudden weight in her hand and quickly reeled in the line.
[One-star mantis shrimp*1: Weight 0.03kg, edible.]
There was actually another crab, but it escaped during the process.
But it's alright, with this mantis shrimp, she can submit her task.
But Lu Youyou chose to wait a while.
Because one of the ten fish in her bucket was a two-star saury, she didn't want to submit the two-star fish.
"Xiaotian, are you done with your work? I've already placed the gold coins at your feet. I'll buy 50 millipedes."
"Busy working."
Lu Youyou tapped her watch, selected the millipede, and placed it into Zhen Youwei's bait bowl.
Next, Lu Youyou briefly opened a small shop.
People came one after another to buy millipedes from her.
Although it's a bit expensive, the results are remarkable; you're guaranteed to catch a fish within 10 minutes of casting.
After the last customer left, Lu Youyou picked up the fishing rod that she had been stepping on.
In that instant, the fishing rod was suddenly pulled away by a huge force and slipped from my hand.
Lu Youyou had anticipated this situation and had applied strong adhesive to the handle of the fishing rod beforehand, firmly sticking the iron ring to it.
The rope was threaded through the iron ring and tightly tied around Lu Youyou's ankle, almost causing her to have her leg amputated.
She grabbed the rope and pulled the fishing rod back little by little, then gripped the rod tightly and reeled in the line.
The fish below was heavy and struggled a lot, splashing water all over the shore.
Such a large commotion had already scared away the small fish, and the people around who couldn't catch any fish looked at Lu Youyou with displeasure.
Some people, wanting a closer look, walked right behind Lu Youyou with their fishing rods.
"Wow!"
The large fish was pulled out of the water and, in front of everyone, transformed from a sea fish weighing over 100 pounds into a plastic toy fish.
It's still one of those small toy fish designed for one- or two-year-old children to grasp.
"Pfft!"
I don't know who laughed first, but that laugh seemed to open a valve, and everyone joined in.
Even after they returned to their seats, they could still chuckle at the memory.
Even Lu Youyou smiled.
Laughing angrily.
Who the hell is messing with her?
"Xiao Tian, you've been tricked," Zhen Youwei kindly reminded him.
Lu Youyou rolled her eyes at the water's surface: "I know."
However, she was not discouraged. The millipede on the hook was still there, so she didn't need to change the bait. She could just throw it into the water.
"Xiaotian, since you came here, have you had any conflicts with anyone?"
Lu Youyou looked at Liu Hui, who was sitting to her left.
Liu Hui felt her gaze and cursed, "Fuck your mother! I always express my dissatisfaction to your face. Who would use such underhanded tactics?"
"Kita, is your head a golf ball waiting to be hit? I'm so close to you, even the big fish are scared away! I only have three fish in my bucket, what good would it do me to mess with you?"
Lu Youyou shifted her gaze and said calmly, "Did I say it was you? Why are you so agitated?"
"You know perfectly well whether you doubt me or not!"
Lu Youyou stared at the calm water surface.
A murderous intent brewed in his eyes.
"Who harmed me, they know in their hearts."
