Chapter 350 Bait
Is this NPC from the fishing competition instance giving you a heads-up beforehand?
Lu Youyou was so happy she couldn't stop smiling.
She threw the remaining half-packet into the sink, and the red carp ate even more happily.
After finishing the last bait, the red carp let out a satisfied burp and began to recite poetry.
"I'd rather die than not eat good food, even as a ghost I'd love it!"
Lu Youyou was amused; she finally understood how Xu Yu had managed to lure this high-level monster into the trap.
It must be because of the fragrant fish bait.
I wonder if she can trade some bait with Xu Yu, so that when the fishing competition comes, she won't have to worry about not catching anything good.
"I promised to repay you, and I will definitely do so."
Before the words were finished, the red carp glowed red again, and a fishing competition practice card exactly the same as the one before fell onto the cutting board.
"And what about you?" Lu Youyou asked, "Do you want to go to the fish trap, or go home?"
The red carp thought for a moment and said, "I want to go home, but I need someone to take me back, just like someone took me out here."
For the sake of those two practice cards, Lu Youyou volunteered: "I can take you back."
"Great! Then use the practice card."
Lu Youyou did not agree immediately; in her plan, now was not the right time to use the practice card.
However, it doesn't have a big impact; it's just a matter of when to contact Xu Yu.
Anyway, she has two practice cards, so it's not impossible for her to come back and find Xu Yu a day later.
"Okay, I promise you, but wait for me a moment."
Lu Youyou went to the living room to get the fish information book before using the fishing competition practice card, and the environment outside the car window instantly changed.
The forest, once a haven for insects, has transformed into a boundless expanse of azure water.
The left side is land, and the right side is ocean.
I was still in the car, but I couldn't drive or reverse.
Lu Youyou got off the car with the red carp in her hand. Just as she was about to say something, there was a splash, and water sprayed everywhere.
"Thank you, I'm going home now!"
Lu Youyou stretched out her hand, but got nothing but water droplets.
So, can carp survive in the sea?
Forget it, there's no logic to this.
She just wanted to ask why the car couldn't be moved, but who knew the red carp was so eager to go home.
Never mind, she'll just have to figure it out herself.
After getting off the bus, I walked slowly backward and found that the seemingly endless land could only be walked for 50 meters.
If you try to go any further, you will be blocked by an invisible barrier.
Lu Youyou returned the way he came and arrived at the seaside.
She discovered that as long as she didn't get on the vehicle, she could walk forward and backward.
In other words, if people are fishing close to each other, they not only need to pay attention to the sea surface, but also to whether the people walking around might have bad intentions.
As for fishing spots, you should be able to choose freely, if you're not worried about leaving your car there and getting into an accident.
Lu Youyou made up her mind that when the fishing competition really came, she would choose the spot in front of her car to fish, and no one would be able to take her spot.
Having chosen a fishing spot, Lu Youyou took out her three-star fishing rod.
Having no bait, she broke off an ear of corn from the planting box and put a kernel on the hook.
She had only learned that corn could be used as bait after watching others fish.
Ten minutes passed.
The float didn't move at all.
Lu Youyou felt a little bored and decided to broaden her knowledge.
Fearing that she might not be careful and cause a big fish to drag her fishing rod away, Lu Youyou stepped on the fishing rod before opening her backpack to look for a comprehensive guide to fish species.
Isn't it on the first page?
Lu Youyou frowned. She clearly remembered that it was in the first square of the first page. It couldn't have been the red carp that she stole it before it went home.
She carefully examined the supplies in each compartment and discovered that the complete information on fish had indeed disappeared, but other more valuable items had not.
If it really was stolen, why would they steal a book?
Actually, Lu Youyou is more inclined to another possibility: when entering the fishing competition, books related to fish information are not allowed.
Because it clearly indicates the bait that different fish prefer and the height at which to cast the line.
A fishing competition is supposed to be about who catches the most fish, right? So they definitely won't allow anyone to use cheats.
Lu Youyou took a deep breath; after many years, she had to memorize her lessons again.
She'll go back and memorize it after today's drill!
If the knowledge is imprinted in her mind, it's not considered a cheat code; this game can't make her lose her memory.
After turning off her watch, Lu Youyou picked up her fishing rod again.
There was nothing she could do; the watch couldn't send messages to people outside, nor could it see messages being sent by people outside. She had no other choice but to go fishing.
Fishing is a tedious process.
Especially when she couldn't catch any fish, Lu Youyou almost fell asleep.
Two hours later.
Lu Youyou felt a slight pulling force, and the fishing float was also moving up and down slightly.
She immediately reeled in the line and found a string of seaweed on the hook, while the corn kernels hanging on it had disappeared.
Lu Youyou: ……
She threw the seaweed back into the sea, then attached a corn kernel to it before casting the fishing hook back in.
Time passed at a snail's pace.
It wasn't until evening that she finally caught a pitifully small fish fry.
Since she couldn't take the fish with her, Lu Youyou took the fish fry off the sea and threw them back into the ocean.
Okay, actually I just skipped the fish across the water.
Only a bare ear of corn remained, and Lu Youyou decided not to take it again.
Using corn kernels as bait simply won't work in a fishing competition.
When she gets back tomorrow, she'll definitely talk to Xu Yu and ask him how to get the Fragrant Fish Bait.
Lu Youyou sighed and got into the car to sleep.
It's getting daylight.
Lu Youyou didn't get up.
She's already figured out the rules, there's no need for her to go fishing and humiliate herself.
It wasn't until the exercise time was over, and the sea had changed into a forest, that Lu Youyou opened her watch and found Xu Yu.
She typed a lot of words on it, then thought about it and deleted them.
The message he was about to send was, both openly and subtly, instructing Xu Yu to use bait as a bargaining chip.
If Xu Yu asks her how she knew about the fragrant fish bait, how should she reply?
Let's go ask the monster merchant first.
[Lu Youyou: Hey friend, do you sell fish bait?]
The monster merchant quickly sent a screenshot showing information about various types of bait.
Lu Youyou zoomed in on the picture and looked closely; there was no fragrant bait on it.
[Lu Youyou: Don't you have any fragrant fish bait here?]
[Monster Merchant: What do you need that kind of bait for? It attracts a lot of fish, making it easy to draw attention.]
[Lu Youyou: So you have fragrant fish bait here?]
[Monster Merchant: There used to be one, but it was all bought up by a player named Xu Yu.]
[Lu Youyou: Thank you.]
Lu Youyou was a little worried after exiting the chat with the monster merchant.
Xu Yu bought out all the Monster Merchant's Fragrant Fish Bait in one go and also caught the Red Carp himself, so he should also know about the fishing competition.
He might not necessarily sell himself bait.
Lu Youyou sighed and decided to talk to Xu Yu anyway.
[Lu Youyou: I heard from the monster merchant that you bought up all the Fragrant Fish Bait? Can you sell me some?]
