Chapter 67 Fishing Frenzy
Day 21 of survival, 06:00:43, temperature -15°C to -2°C, zone 301, number of survivors 70102/100000.
The residents of White Moon Base were in high spirits and crowded onto the city wall to start using their unique skills to kill the fish monster.
Fat Guy Not Skinny: "I found a fishing net, I'll drag the monster up and see if that works!"
"Is this any good, Fatty? Is it sturdy enough?"
"Try it, you'll see once you try it."
The others around, hearing about the fishing net, also looked curiously at the fat man, who wasn't thin. If it worked, they would go and buy a fishing net too.
Being surrounded by a crowd of onlookers made me a little nervous. I've never been the center of attention before, as my parents always criticized me for everything I did.
A green rope hung in the middle of the fishing net. Fat Man, who wasn't thin, was about to throw it out when he was suddenly stopped by a funeral procession.
"I'll do it. I see you don't know how to throw it. Learn from me."
The funeral director, having secured the fishing net, turned to the onlookers and said, "Everyone, step back a bit. I'm going to drag the monster up to the city wall in a bit!"
The crowd then realized what was happening and immediately tried to retreat to either side.
The funeral director kept a close eye on the water. When he saw a dark shadow that looked like a monster swimming underwater, he immediately threw his fishing net at it.
The fishing net, like a round handkerchief with a pendant, rotates and falls downwards in a cone shape, splashing a little water before quickly sinking to the bottom.
The others looked at the water with expressions of tension or curiosity.
The funeral parlor worker felt a pulling sensation and immediately tightened the fishing net, pulling it forcefully.
"It's caught! It's caught!"
The funeral dragon clenched its teeth, its arm muscles bulging, as the fish monster struggled with immense force.
Seeing that the older brother was being pulled forward, Fatty, who wasn't thin, quickly called out to his companions for help: "Two of you help pull him, the rest of you get ready to attack!"
The fish monster was dragged out of the water, its sharp teeth trying to bite through the fishing net, but fortunately the net was indeed strong enough.
The funeral dragon roared and forcefully dragged the fish monster onto the city wall, whereupon his teammates immediately attacked it with knives and clubs.
Clap clap clap clap!
The fish monster struggled fiercely, its tail slapping the ground with a loud cracking sound, and foul-smelling water droplets splashed everywhere. The onlookers immediately took a few steps back to make room for the funeral procession.
Soon the fish monster died due to lack of water and being surrounded, and the items dropped.
"Hey, there's another fish skin! This is a rare material, so I can get a few more points!"
The fat man, who wasn't thin, landed the final blow, and excitedly picked up the items on the ground.
"Wow, that's really something. I thought the fish monster's teeth could bite through such a thin fishing net..."
"Where did you buy it, bro?"
"Yes, yes, where did you buy it? I want to buy a few too!"
The fat man wiped his nose and replied, "Old Zhang, the fishmonger. Add this old man's nickname and buy from him."
Others immediately added him as a friend. Some friends didn't accept his request, so he anxiously asked if he was from the White Moon Base and went directly to him.
"That wooden house over there, that's the one he rented."
Fatty, who wasn't thin, pointed in a direction, and then he and his teammates continued fishing.
Funeral Processor: "As we agreed yesterday, the final blow will be delivered in shifts. Fatty, you're just supporting this time, don't try to get the kills..."
I don't want to study, but I see a lot of people looking for the past, and I think that weaving fishing nets must take some time.
She still took out her golden fishing rod.

Whew~
She took a deep breath, not wanting to read. This was something she had painstakingly scavenged. Just by looking at the description, it seemed extraordinary. It was worth the effort of keeping it even though her backpack was full and she almost went hungry, and she had to give up other materials.
Cast the line, wait...
"Prepare!"
The senior student who didn't want to study, a sprint coach, held a hammer, ready to strike. As soon as the shrunken fish monster was dragged onto the city wall, the hammer slammed down without hesitation.
The damage was doubled, and the fish monster died in just a few hits.
Not wanting to study, he excitedly shouted, "Hahaha, keep going, keep going!"
Du Yuxin noticed the situation and a thought struck her.
"Hello friend, do you still have this fishing rod?"
"I don't want to study," he flashed a standard eight-tooth smile: "For sale! One energy crystal for three ordinary fishing rods. It doesn't shrink the fish monster, but it's still good for catching fish."
Not wanting to study, he took out a red fishing rod and handed it to Du Yuxin to check its function.
Xu Yinuo approached, turned her head to look at Du Yuxin who was deep in thought, and casually took the fishing rod that Du Yuxin handed her.
Du Yuxin: "Can we try it out? It's 10 coins for one trial, and if we catch something, we'll buy the fishing rod?"
Don't want to study: "20 coins per session".
"OK."
Du Yuxin added a friend who didn't want to study and immediately sent her 20 coins. Then, she imitated the actions of someone who didn't want to study and cast a line to wait.

Since she didn't need to go to the dungeon to collect materials, Jiang Baiyue slept in late, a rare occurrence for her.
After washing up in the public restroom, she bought a bowl of mushroom and pork congee from Pipi Shrimp.
The warm meat porridge slid down her throat and into her body, the heat seeming to spread throughout her entire being, making her feel warm and cozy.
The congee is fresh and delicious, the shiitake mushrooms are tender and smooth, and today's meat congee also has lettuce leaves added, making the taste even richer.
After the meal, Jiang Baiyue, as usual, first checked the inventory of various basic materials in the warehouse to ensure that the repair of protective shields and arrow towers could keep up.
Then she checked the store's transaction history.
At that moment, a message popped up from the money jar.
Jiang Baiyue thought of the farmland the two had traded and first checked the money jar's message.
"Money Jar: Friend, I see some bad news in the chat area. You should probably stay in the base if you can avoid it for a while."
"Lying-down-and-easy-go-lucky-fish: That's what I was thinking too. Thanks for reminding me. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Money Jar: Um, that's not what I meant. It's what the other team leaders in the base wanted to ask. They were wondering if the materials for the protective shields could be purchased on credit?"
"Money Jar: They said we could use farmland as collateral, or other materials as collateral."
"Lying Flat Salted Fish: No way. I don't have enough materials either. I don't accept credit or collateral."
After refusing, Jiang Baiyue didn't reply to any more messages and instead looked at the chat area.
The discussions in the forum gradually became more extreme, with many people speaking more boldly.
"18342: Some base leaders are just parasites who suck people's blood. They collect high taxes every day, but the purchase price of materials is extremely low."
Crazy Dave: Our base chief's daily accommodation fee is 10 coins, and the purchase price is pitifully low. Damn! He'd better never leave the base, otherwise...
"Eat smaller, more frequent meals to lose weight: I think you guys are really crazy. What will happen to the other people living in the base if it disbands?"
"18342: You know again. A base doesn't necessarily have to be disbanded. Some bases don't even have a base administrator. At worst, it's just losing one administrator."
Osidora: Maybe so. Besides, the other residents could manage the base together. Everyone could vote on decisions, which would be fair and just!
