Lin Fuxia, who was considered not very smart, came to the river.
The grass here is lush and tall, as if no one has been here for a long time.
Lin Fuxia found a place, pulled out the grass, made sure that no snake or something would suddenly jump out nearby, then sat there, put the bait on the hook, and threw it into the river.
One minute, nothing happened.
Two minutes, no movement.
Three minutes...
Lin Fuxia came here to upgrade, not to enjoy wild fishing, so how could he waste his time like this?
She went down to the river and took a look. The water near the bank was still relatively shallow, and occasionally she could see one or two grass carps swimming leisurely.
In that case, why bother fishing? Just spear the fish or scoop it up!
Wait, Village Chief Bai said that because the upstream village released water, some ferocious fish flowed down.
A vicious fish? How vicious?
Lin Fuxia didn't jump into the water for the time being. After thinking for a while, he put the fishing rod into the water and stirred it.
The few fish that were swimming leisurely were frightened and ran away.
But when they swam towards the center of the river, several black shadows suddenly appeared in the water, jumped up at a rapid speed, and bit the grass carp.
Brush, brush, brush.
The river water rolled violently, and wisps of red blood floated away. In a flash, the fish were bitten to pieces, and Lin Fuxia also saw the black shadows clearly.
It has a flat head, a thin tail, a black-gray body with small black and white patterns, a high dorsal fin, and a large size.
Isn't this a scavenger?
This is a fish that can survive as long as there is water. It feeds on the eggs and fry of other fish. It has a huge appetite and poses a great threat to the survival of other fish.
However, looking at the ferocious bite of the scavenger in front of him, it was obviously more terrifying than ordinary scavengers, and even had the posture of a piranha.
Because of the noise, Lin Fuxia discovered that all the grass carp by the river had been scared away. She was so angry that she jumped up and down, "Damn the scavenger!"
I saw those scavengers swimming over after eating the fish, with their tiny eyes looking out from the water, which gave me an inexplicably eerie feeling.
Lin Fuxia felt that he was being provoked.
"You ate my fish and you still dare to glare at me! It seems you have never experienced the beatings of society!"
Lin Fuxia sneered twice, picked up a relatively straight branch, sharpened one end with a dagger, then removed the fishing line and tied it to the other end of the branch.
Holding the fishing line in her left hand and the branch in her right hand, she stared at the scavengers in the water and targeted the fattest and largest one in the middle, which had just eaten the fish most ferociously.
With a whoosh, the branch was thrown out.
Phew!
The sharp branches pierced the water and hit the scavenger's body hard.
Lin Fuxia quickly reeled in the fishing line and pulled the branch back.
The scavenger was stung all over and just hung on the branch, its tail still flapping wildly.
"Go ahead, let's see how far you can go!"
[System prompt] You captured a level 1 monster scavenger and gained 1 experience point.
[System prompt] You have mastered the basic fishing skills, proficiency +1
The two system sounds made Lin Fuxia stunned.
That’s great, there are such benefits to fishing!
It takes 20 experience points to upgrade from level 0 to level 1. Doesn't that mean she only needs to stab 20 scavengers to complete the upgrade?
She was immediately very excited.
He pulled out a few tough grasses, rubbed them, and threaded them through the scavenger's gills to make a connection. Then he pulled it off the branch. Lin Fuxia raised the branch and looked at the water again.
The two scavengers just now have been scared away.
She felt a little regretful and could only walk along the river bank to look for another place.
As she walked, she found a grass carp hiding under a patch of water plants. She smiled, poked a branch down, and easily caught the grass carp.
[System Tips] Primary Fishing Skills Proficiency +1
It seems that as long as you catch a fish, no matter what kind of fish it is, your proficiency will increase by 1 point.
Lin Fuxia did not put the grass carp away. Instead, he cut it in half with a dagger, tied it with the other end of the fishing line, and then threw it hard into the center of the river.
The smell of blood spread out, and soon a scavenger swam over from the bottom of the river and took a bite of the fish.
Lin Fuxia immediately dragged the fish back, and the scavenger followed relentlessly. When the distance was close enough, Lin Fuxia raised the branch and stabbed it hard.
[System prompt] You captured a level 1 monster scavenger and gained 1 experience point
[System Tips] Primary Fishing Skills Proficiency +1
Hehehehe!
Upgrade and get rich right before your eyes!
However, Lin Fuxia soon discovered a problem. After catching a few fish, her physical strength began to drop and her right arm began to feel noticeably sore and tired.
Moreover, the speed at which the stamina value dropped began to accelerate, and later, even the health value began to drop.
Her face sank.
The player's stamina will be reset to zero and they will be forced to log out.
When the health value reaches zero, the player will die.
It seems that spearfishing is not sustainable.
She sighed, carried six scavengers and two and a half grass carps, and walked towards the village.
At this time, her physical strength was only 6 points, and her walking speed had slowed down a lot.
Fortunately, there were no other players in the village, otherwise if someone attacked her at this moment, she would definitely not be able to escape.
When she entered the village, the villagers were stunned to see the fish in her hand.
"Oh my god! She actually caught a fish!"
"Oh, I must be seeing things. She's actually carrying four scavengers!"
“This is a true warrior!”
Lin Fuxia was a little surprised when he heard these words. It was just a few fish, there was no need to be so excited, right?
Village Chief Bai came quickly from behind the crowd and was shocked when he saw what she was holding.
"My dear friend, in such a short time you have caught all the fish I wanted, and you have also caught four scavengers!"
Lin Fuxia smiled politely and said, "Yes, Village Chief, this is the fish you wanted."
The village chief quickly took it and said, "Thank you very much. My old mother can have fish soup today. God knows how long it has been since we last tasted fish since the scavengers appeared in the river."
Not only was she happy, but other villagers also looked at the fish in the village chief's hand with envy, but that was the village chief's, so they turned their eyes to the half grass carp in Lin Fuxia's hand.
It's like he wants to say something but doesn't know how to say it.
[System Prompt] You have completed the commission of Village Chief Bai and caught two big fat fish. You have gained 2 experience points and NPC favorability +1.
Village Chief Bai looked at the four scavengers in Lin Fuxia's hand and asked, "Can you sell these four scavengers to me?"
Lin Fuxia was surprised: "Can this scavenger be eaten?"
Village Chief Bai shook his head, a bitter expression on his face. "The scavengers here have become a disaster. They are extremely ferocious and have almost eaten up all the fish in the river. The villagers dare not go to the river."
"The mayor was worried that the scavengers would spread to the city, so he fenced off the river and asked villages like us to hand in a certain number of scavengers every week. Although our village is small, we were still assigned the task of collecting 100 scavengers."
"How about I buy a scavenger from you for 3 copper coins each?"
Lin Fuxia thought that 3 copper coins per piece was not cheap, but to her, it was only three or four real coins.
Instead of making a few bucks, why not...
She immediately said, "I am also a villager of Baishan Village now. Baishan Village's mission is also my mission. How can I accept money from the village chief?"
Village chief Bai and the villagers were immediately moved by Lin Fuxia.
Lin Fuxia secretly observed their expressions and felt that there was a way, so he continued, "But my arms are so sore from catching four scavengers that I can't even lift them. I wonder if there's any medicinal wine or something like that that could relieve the pain and fatigue, so I can catch more scavengers for the village."
Ah, she can’t even lift her arms, but she still wants to help us catch scavengers!
The villagers were even more moved!
An old woman immediately said, "I have some medicinal wine at home. Give it a massage and the pain will be gone in no time!"
So, Lin Fuxia happily handed the scavenger to the village chief, and happily received a bottle of medicinal wine.
[System prompt] You have accepted the long-term villager task of Baishan Village: Capture the scavenger
[System prompt] You have gained the recognition and gratitude of all the villagers in Baishan Village, NPC favorability +5
[System prompt] You received a bottle of medicinal wine from the old lady of Baishan Village
[Baishan Village Old Lady's Traumatology Wine: Level 1
Usage level: Unlimited
Quality: Bronze
Effect: Restore health and stamina after use, 1 point each at a time, up to five times.
Note: It can only restore health and stamina lost due to falls or muscle strains.
Lin Fuxia was very happy to get the bottle of medicinal wine. He immediately gave the remaining half of the grass carp to the old woman, and cleverly said that this half fish was not worth the value of the medicinal wine, and asked if there was anything he could do to help her.
The old woman was also very happy to take the half fish. She smiled and said, "I have a few sheep at home. It would be great if you could help me cut some grass."
[System prompt] You accept the commission from the old woman in Baishan Village: cut a bundle of grass.
After accepting the new commission, Lin Fuxia gave himself some medicinal wine.
She only needs to click to use it, and there is no need to actually apply or massage it. Soon she received the prompt [Health +1, Stamina +1], and the soreness in her right arm was also relieved a lot.
She didn't continue using it because her health points had fully recovered and it would not be cost-effective to use the medicinal wine at this time.
She checked it out.
At this time, she gained 6 experience points for catching 6 scavengers, and gained 2 experience points for completing the village chief's commission.
Only 12 experience points left to level up.
I hurried back to the river, eager to level up quickly. I was a little confused as to why the other players hadn't arrived at the village yet. Aren't they supposed to be heading this way?
…
If other players heard her question, they would probably cry. It’s not that they don’t want to come, but they have encountered obstacles!
After hearing the world announcement, the players in the square started fighting each other.
One person killed the player next to him and laughed, "I killed someone too. Where's the reward?"
However, the next moment his figure suddenly disappeared.
There are many people like him. People gradually realized that something was wrong. Those who took the initiative to kill or attack others basically disappeared, and those who were killed became black and white corpses on the ground.
Less than half of the people were left, looking at each other, not understanding what was going on.
After a long while, someone finally began to tentatively walk towards the Novice Village.
Others followed one after another, but they were wary of each other and rarely walked together.
And because he was in a low health state, he couldn't walk fast.
After finally arriving at the bridgehead at the entrance of the village, people suddenly saw a flash of light before their eyes. How come everyone in front, behind, and around them disappeared, leaving them alone?
"Why is this game so weird?"
A completely new player walked towards the bridge with some trepidation, and then saw an old lady sitting on the bridge. When she saw him, she took off her shoes and threw them under the bridge, then shouted loudly: "Young man, help me pick up my shoes!"
Player: ???
This naive new player was confused and thought it was a mandatory task, so he went down to pick up his shoes. However, he accidentally slipped and his hands were covered in mud. Seeing that the river water was very clear, he went over to wash his hands and even splashed some water out of curiosity.
"Hey, this river water looks like the real thing, and it's ice cold."
Then a dark figure rushed out of the water, hit him in the face, and bit off a piece of flesh.
"ah!"
There was a splash sound of someone falling into the water.
“Help! Help!”
Several scavengers surrounded him and gnawed at him. Several bright red -1-1-1s floated up. Soon, the man's health was reduced to zero and he returned to his birthplace.
The old lady in white on the bridge: “…” This is not just not smart, this is really stupid!
In another overlapping space, a player saw an old lady on the bridge throw away her shoes. He was already in an irritable mood and sneered, "Where did this old lady come from?"
Old Mrs. Bai was furious and hit the player with her cane. The player flipped over the railing and fell into the river. He was quickly eaten alive by more than one scavenger and sent back to his hometown.
In another space, a player impatiently helped the old lady pick up her shoes and put them on, but the old lady threw the shoes down again: "Help me pick up my shoes!"
The player immediately angrily responded, "Pick up your mother!"
Not surprisingly, he was hit by a cane and fell to the bottom of the bridge.
Lin Fuxia was spearing fish when he vaguely heard a splashing sound. Did someone fall into the water?
I looked left and right, but there was nothing.
Suddenly, she saw a man being washed down from upstream, floating in the water and shouting, "Help! Help! Wuuwuwu!"
It seemed like there were a few scavengers surrounding him and biting him.
Lin Fuxia quickly stretched out his fishing rod: "Hey, catch it!"
The man quickly grabbed the fishing rod and climbed ashore using his hands and feet. His body was torn to pieces and there were several scavengers hanging on his clothes.
Lin Fuxia was delighted. He quickly picked up the scavenger, threw it on the ground, and stabbed it with a dagger.
After three consecutive pokes, the three ferocious scavengers instantly turned into three dead fish.
When Lin Fuxia heard that three experience points had been credited, he narrowed his eyes in a smile. This was truly something that came right to his doorstep.
She looked at the fat man beside her and considered the possibility of kicking him back down to fish for scavengers.
Judging from the way this person is dressed, he is obviously a gamer, and she has no psychological burden in kicking gamers.
The fat man was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, his body covered with small wounds, his clothes were torn into tatters, and a scarlet -1 floated above his head from time to time.
After finally catching his breath, he cursed loudly: "Damn old woman, damn this crappy game! Damn money is more important!"
Lin Fuxia: “???”
