Xu Piao died and was reborn, transmigrating in a blink of an eye into an interstellar online game sweet romance novel, becoming a cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name.
As soon as this announcement was released, the dual-player players who had just finished playing "Shan Hai Lu" and were lying around in "Taohuayuan", enjoying their lives, squinted their eyes, took a look, and then took another look... and immediately became nervous.
Among them, players who love the game of sea-hunting are particularly fond of it - how many players don’t like sea-hunting?
Although the number of players who like to go to the beach and those who like to pick mushrooms is roughly evenly split, a larger number of people still choose to do both.
["Peach Blossom Spring" finally has an event! It feels like its event frequency is so low]
[There are activities available right after the grass starts growing. How thoughtful of you! [tears.jpg]]
Whenever I think the last event is already interesting, CH always comes up with something more interesting. I love it.
[I'm new here and need a cheat. I just started playing Peach Blossom Spring and my eyesight isn't very good. I can't find the air holes or the bumps. Does anyone have any cheats for me?]
[Good fellow, this is the first time I've seen someone asking for cheats while playing Peach Blossom Spring. Wait, I'll report you later.]
[Wait, wait, I'm an old player, I was just saying something silly! How could you believe it?!]
【……】
The discussion area was once again filled with lively discussions, which to sum up was something like "How many surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
Because StarCraft players often feel that the games produced by CH and the activities arranged by CH always miraculously... how to say it, always miraculously touch a certain point of theirs, which the players themselves may not even know, but they just happen to be found and touched by TA.
What's more, even if the event hasn't started yet, players can imagine how fun the game is from the event trailer and information leaks, and start thinking about how they can participate in the event.
This is what the sea-hunting competition is like.
Xiaoqin is like this.
After seeing the announcement, she excitedly entered the Peach Blossom Spring, wanting to practice first so that she could win first place in the competition and get the winning reward.
But in fact, Xiaoqin's skills in sea-hunting can only be considered average, including picking mushrooms, which are more eye-testing. What she is best at is cooking and creating her own dishes.
Xiaoqin carried the bucket and went to the beach several times. Every time she came back, there was not much in the bucket. There were only some clams and cat's-eye snails that were easier to find. Catching anemones and king clams was like a magic trick in Xiaoqin's opinion. As for crabs... the success rate was about 50-50. It was okay to catch them by surprise, but as long as the water was muddy, she basically couldn't see anything.
Xiaoqin sighed in frustration.
"Sister Xiaoqin, what's wrong with you?" The traveler who stayed in Xiaoqin's paradise asked her curiously.
"There's a sea-hunting competition in a few days. I really want to win a prize, but I'm not good at sea-hunting, so I don't think I'll be able to win." Xiaoqin looked eagerly at the beautiful sister leaning on the lounge chair eating lychees, and then at the beautiful sister sitting on a row of swings under a big tree chatting. "Sisters, do you have any ideas for me to improve my sea-hunting skills immediately?"
The traveler, lying on the cushions under the eaves, half-opened a pair of charming fox eyes. His slender fingers intermittently rubbed the pure white Persian cat that Xiaoqin had bought with a large sum of money. His voice was melodious and varied, making people's bones soften. "What's the prize?"
"Jiuquan! There are also other ingredients, props and so on!" Xiaoqin said.
"Not interested. If it were a life of feasting and drinking, I might be a little more interested." The traveler yawned, lay back lazily, and played cards with another traveler.
"Just treat Jiuquan as a wine pool. It's at least half there, Sister Daji—" Xiaoqin stretched out her hand and tried to struggle again. "As for the meat forest, I can create it manually..."
The traveler standing next to Xiaoqin covered his lips and chuckled.
"Sister Yi Guang..." Xiao Qin looked over again.
"Since the village chief's sister said so, I will go with you to take a look later." Shi Yi Guang, also known as Xi Shi, agreed gently.
"Then I'll go too." Yang Yuhuan, who was sitting at the stone table eating lychees, put them down, washed her hands in the nearby stream, and wiped them clean with a handkerchief. She was being particular, but not completely particular, without any of the burdens of a royal concubine. "Sister Xiaoqin's cooking has improved a lot today, and I ate a little too much without realizing it. I need to move around to help digest it."
——If she were a royal concubine, she wouldn't have to peel lychees and wash her hands by herself.
However, travelers who have long since died and settled down in the form of souls may find such a free and leisurely life quite nice.
"Then I'll go with you." Except for a few who really didn't want to move, the other traveling sisters also responded.
Although there are many fun things to do in Taohuayuan, it is inevitable that people will get bored after playing for a long time. This has led to these beauties in history, who were either noble or glamorous, charming or cold, gradually developing the habit of joining in the fun. They would often get together to chat, and then gradually become down-to-earth.
Daji paused as she stroked the cat's hand, muttering, "Really? If you're doing this, wouldn't it seem like I'm out of place if I don't go?"
So, Xiaoqin and her group of traveling sisters who had changed into convenient clothes set off for the beach together.
If everyone wasn't carrying a few food boxes filled with snacks, it would really look like the real thing.
When Xiaoqin arrived at the beach, the tide was receding. Looking around, she could see many crabs, octopuses and other creatures that had been washed ashore and had not yet had time to lie down on the sand. Her eyes lit up and she quickly rushed over and held down a crab that was trying to crawl into a place with more water.
"What a big swimming crab!" She held it up happily. "A good start!"
"That's great! Let's braise it when we get home later." Several traveling sisters who were nearby applauded and encouraged.
"Don't listen to her. If it's your turn, I'd rather steam it with dipping sauce..."
"Shall we make crab roe soup dumplings?"
“…” Xiaoqin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
After staying in Peach Blossom Land for a long time, all of them turned into beautiful foodies - and since most of them were not good at cooking, they would become particularly close to her when they wanted to eat something, calling her "good sister" and kissing her "sweetheart" one by one... Well, although Xiaoqin felt subtle at the beginning, she gradually got used to it later on.
However, this time when they came to practice sea-hunting, although the purpose was to help Xiaoqin find ways to improve the efficiency of sea-hunting, except for Shi Yi Guang and Wang Zhaojun who stayed by her side, the other sisters soon started playing on their own.
They were reserved at first, but after a while they relaxed, playing and joking with each other, laughing like silver bells.
"Oh, Wanchun, you've made my clothes dirty!" This was Daji, who disgustedly pulled the octopus thrown at her off her skirt.
"It was obviously you who threw it at me first!" Princess Wanchun snorted.
"Yes, it was Daji who started it first."
…
Xiaoqin sighed skillfully and maturely, feeling that sometimes these traveling sisters were very dignified, and sometimes they were like little girls.
She had no choice but to work hard to improve her sea-hunting skills. Wang Zhaojun, who lived on the grassland most of the time, brought her many recipes for grassland dairy products, but had no experience in sea-hunting. Shi Yi Guang, on the other hand, had sharper eyes and could often spot crabs running fast in the muddy water.
Xiaoqin also successfully held down the fast-running crab and threw it onto the sandy ground where there was less water.
Just as I was about to pick up the crab with my pincers, I saw it rub its body against the sand for a few times and bury its entire body in the sand.
Huh?
Xiaoqin raised her head and called out to the playful traveling sisters, "Come and see, this crab is really good at lying on the sand!"
“Here it comes!”
"Where is it?"
The traveling sisters all ran over, formed a circle around the small sandbag, and looked down curiously.
Xiaoqin squatted down and used a small shovel to dig the crab out of the bulge. Then she knocked on the shell on the crab's back and said, "Quick, perform a lying on the sand for the sisters."
Crab: [playing dead.jpg]
"Damn it! If you keep pretending to be dead, I'll braise you." Xiaoqin urged him by knocking on the crab shell.
Faced with this survival crisis, the crab moved its two claws slightly, and buried itself in the sand in a few seconds, forming a small sandbag.
"Wow!"
"It really fell asleep quickly."
"One more."
"How about we keep this crab and get some sand so it can perform a few more times?"
There was no reason for Xiaoqin to refuse her beautiful sister's request, so she threw the crab into the bucket and prepared to keep it for them to play with.
[Flower-capped crab: age unknown.]
Achievements: Performed lying on the sand for Su Daji, Yang Yuhuan, Shi Yiguang, Wang Zhaojun, Princess Wanchun, Diao Chan, Zhao Feiyan, Zhao Hede...
Huo Yin: I want to keep my performing talent.
Flower Crab: How can I be so worthy of this?
…
Anyway, in the end...
Although she hadn't really mastered the art of catching seafood, she was genuinely happy. Xiaoqin went to participate in the catching seafood competition.
The rules of the sea-hunting competition are, in simple terms, that ten people form a group and go to a beach to catch sea. Then the person with the highest score on each beach is selected, and the total points are compared to determine the winner of each day.
In addition, in the sea-hunting competition, each player can bring a traveler who lives in Taohuayuan to participate, but the traveler cannot pick up the seafood and can only be responsible for cheering and encouraging from the sidelines - after all, this is a competition between the village chiefs of Taohuayuan.
The person Xiaoqin brought with her was Shi Yi Guang.
She thought that if a traveler might come in, she could ask the sharp-eyed Sister Yi Guang to help find the goods.
But this off-field restriction clearly means that we can't help.
"Oh, it turns out that I have to rely on myself in the end." Xiaoqin sighed, raised her head and looked at the contestants on the same beach as her, and her breath suddenly stopped.
Wait, wait, is there really no black box operation in this beach allocation?
It would be fine if she happened to be assigned to the same beach as Xiao Baicai, but why is her grandfather there too!
It would be fine if her grandfather was here, but why is Mr. Hewlett here too?!
This is just an ordinary sea-hunting competition!
Xiaoqin didn't know whether she was lucky or unlucky. If you said it was good, the possibility of winning, which was already precarious, was reduced. If you said it was bad, she was able to meet several big anchors including her grandfather. If she put this luck into "Shan Hai Lu", she would probably be able to draw several SSRs.
"Sister Yi Guang." Her eyes were dead, "I don't think there's much hope."
"Don't be discouraged." Shi Yiguang smiled and touched Xiaoqin's head. His palm was soft and fragrant. "Don't be too stressed. Didn't you say that this event lasts for several days? Even if you don't win today, you can always hope to win by meeting other opponents in the next few days. Just have fun."
