Chapter 33 Chapter 33 (Update 1) Net Bag and "Fishing Line"...
Without caring about taking a rest after escaping the "hunt", when Chang Ruijia discovered that she had harvested a new species of creature again, she became very interested in the things at the end of the bed.
However, this time the underwater monster did not lie stiffly in the space at the end of the bed like the atavistic Marlin before, but after being thrown onto the bed by Xiao Ai, it turned directly into a soft puddle.
Seeing that the monster didn't seem to move even after such a long time, Chang Ruijia was absolutely sure that the monster had no signs of survival, so she approached its body with confidence.
Curiously poking the limp part of the monster's tail, Chang Ruijia's mind suddenly popped up one of her favorite delicacies in her previous life - grilled squid.
Looking at the eight tentacles on the bottom of the monster in front of him, it is obviously a squid-like species living in the ocean.
However, Chang Ruijia didn't know what kind of atavistic species this thing was, so she couldn't easily make a conclusion about its identity. However, these eight tentacles were enough to clearly give her a certain understanding of this monster.
No wonder she found that the waves caused by the monster on the seabed when it went crazy were so huge. These eight thick and long tentacles stirred together, which was bound to cause unpredictable damage to the ocean.
Looking at the tentacles that were half the length of her body, Chang Ruijia sighed with emotion. If she had not thought about going into the sea at that time, her life would have been in danger if any of the eight tentacles had wrapped around her.
But now, the monster looks extremely miserable.
The kitchen knives that Chang Ruijia shot out with the "human slingshot" were not fake. Seven kitchen knives were fired at once. Even if the monster reacted and wanted to block the thing that suddenly hurt it, its tentacles would not be able to completely block such damage.
This resulted in wounds of varying sizes covering all eight of its tentacles. Judging from the force with which she launched the kitchen knife, the knife had inflicted deep bone marrow damage to the monster. No wonder it went so mad at the time.
As for the most fatal injury to the monster, it was probably when Chang Ruijia's kitchen knife cut the connection between the monster's head and tentacles when it was struggling violently. The deeper cut was almost enough to split the monster's body in half.
Chang Ruijia breathed a sigh of relief at the scene before her. Fortunately, she was facing a monster squid with a relatively soft body. Otherwise, facing the sudden huge waves at that time, she might not know when she would be able to kill the monster.
Looking at the tentacles scattered on the bed, Chang Ruijia couldn't help swallowing. If she had lived in the normal world before, she would have grilled the entire squid that was over four meters long. It would be a shame if she didn't savor the taste of such a delicacy.
Unfortunately, this is on the sea where even life is full of ups and downs. No matter how greedy Chang Ruijia is, she can only shake her head in disappointment and try hard to restrain her greedy mouth.
In order to prevent the desire in her heart from growing stronger, Chang Ruijia quickly withdrew her gaze from the monster squid, opened the system's salted fish exchange biological version, and took the monster in without any desire.
With a flash of white light, the monster disappeared from the bed, and Chang Ruijia finally knew what kind of monster it was from the system's redemption page.
[The exchange creature has been received - the ancestral version of the Tost Giant Squid. The exchange item is being converted. Please wait...]
Tost Giant Squid?
Chang Ruijia looked at the name of this atavistic monster given by the system and raised her eyebrows in understanding. It was indeed the squid species she recognized. However, compared with the various squids on the iron plate in her previous life, this one was not only like an ancestor in seniority, but also in size, it was exactly like an ancestor!
If the merchants selling grilled squid in the previous life saw this, they would probably make a fortune from just one squid. Why would they import so much to sell every day?
[Ding Dong! Exchange successful! 15 Level 4 permissions and 10 Level 3 permissions have been exchanged for you...]
Noticing the gains prompted by the system this time, Chang Ruijia nodded without any surprise. She knew that the life-saving blanket exchanged for the atavistic marlin last time was just an accident. It should be just the system's reward for the first biological version of salted fish exchange, just like the first login reward for the game.
However, seeing that the number of exchange privileges was not much different from the last time, Chang Ruijia was still very satisfied with this number. At least there was no "shortage" this time.
However, after spending such a long time with the system, Chang Ruijia was able to gradually figure out some of the system's tricks for exchanging items.
This time, the Tost Giant Squid may have the same redemption authority points just because it was also the first redemption. If the creature she redeems next time is still the Atavistic Marlin or the Tost Giant Squid, such generosity may not occur.
After all, the system's stinginess and black heart are obvious to all.
Chang Ruijia sighed silently inwardly. Was she going to have to go out and look for creatures she'd never encountered before? It seemed the system was going to make her future tasks even more difficult.
After all, how could she attract the attention of those creatures and distinguish them from duplicate creatures? Even the Tost giant squid this time was a creature she randomly selected from the ocean!
In any case, the fact that the system prefers her to obtain a variety of different types of creatures has already taken root in her mind, and she will definitely move in the direction of "stamp collecting" in the future.
After encountering a series of thrilling events early in the morning, Chang Ruijia felt that the energy of the two steamed buns she stuffed into her mouth to fill her stomach in the morning had long been consumed.
Now she could even feel a feeling of weakness radiating from her stomach to her limbs.
Eat, eat! Nothing is more important than eating now!
Having just gained a large number of authority points, Chang Ruijia finally no longer had to go back to the days of eating steamed buns and dry biscuits. She happily began to choose from the food items in the mall.
However, because of the shock she had received from the giant squid of Tost, Chang Ruijia couldn't take her eyes off the seafood noodles when her fingers swept across them.
Although the current conditions do not allow her to grill the squid herself, eating some seafood noodles can at least satisfy her regret of being able to only look at the giant squid but not eat it, right?
After trying hard to convince herself about her feelings about these things, Chang Ruijia happily exchanged a bowl of fragrant seafood noodles from the system.
It must be said that the seafood noodles in the system can’t even be called conscience, but it is super value for money!
When the bowl of noodles was exchanged, the coffee table that Chang Ruijia built with skateboards was almost unable to put down the bowl of seafood noodles. The contents of the bowl of noodles made her so shocked that her eyes widened involuntarily.
The prawns, as thick as a child's arm, were neatly stacked on one side of the bowl. Just a few of them took up more than half of the bowl's space.
The rest of the bowl wasn't completely empty either. After slicing, there were still palm-sized abalone slices. Palm-sized mussels also filled up the bowl quite a bit. There was even a row of squid rings that could be used as bracelets...
Chang Ruijia couldn't help but swallow the saliva that was already overflowing in her mouth. She really didn't expect that a small bowl of seafood noodles could cause such a big fuss. It completely overturned her three views on eating seafood noodles.
Only then did she understand why a bowl of normal-sized seafood noodles would be served in a bowl as big as a washbasin.
Compared with the seafood on the top layer, the fist-sized noodles below can even be relegated to the level of a side dish.
Chang Ruijia couldn't wait to stir the seafood in the bowl. She couldn't stand the delicious smell that rushed into her nose. She picked up a mouthful of noodles covered with soup and sucked it into her mouth.
It is indeed a seafood noodle produced by the system! The taste is simply indescribably delicious. The aroma of various seafood is perfectly integrated into the noodles, and the noodles are so soft and sticky that they melt in your mouth!
In order to finish the noodles quickly, Chang Ruijia decided to put the noodles at the bottom to continue coating them with soup, while she set her sights on the "protagonist" seafood.
A mouthful of shrimp meat is stuffed into the mouth. Half a large shrimp alone is enough to fill the mouth. When you bite it lightly with your teeth, you can feel the chewy and elastic feeling.
Not to mention the mussels, the freshness and fragrance of the seafood were fully reflected at this moment. In addition, she had not tasted the squid rings that she had been craving for, so her life would be complete after taking a bite.
By the time Chang Ruijia slowly finished eating all the steamed seafood noodles, her stomach had already bulged into a huge circle that she couldn't suck back into. She even fell on the bed beside her, groaning, and was so bloated that she could hardly walk.
"Burp~"
She burped with the happiest feeling, looked at the sunshine coming down and the little one playing in the sea not far away. Chang Ruijia couldn't be more satisfied with such a life.
However, such a life also has a prerequisite. If she can harvest a different species of unknown creature every day, then there will be no problem living such a wonderful life even if she wants to until death.
So, in the final analysis, she still needs to continue to work harder!
Chang Ruijia secretly made up her mind not to waste time on idleness anymore. After the uncomfortable feeling of fullness in her stomach that made her move gradually disappeared, she finally came to her senses and prepared to deal with the miserable situation on the bed.
Not to mention the giant squid that Xiao Ai had thrown on the bed before, she was almost used to cleaning the bed from time to time.
However, this time, the giant squid probably lost its life in the sea. So although the blood it lost caused great harm to her and Xiao Yi, even though Xiao Yi threw it onto the bed later, it did not make the entire bed a mess like the atavistic marlin did last time.
This time, it was mostly the sea water and the mucus of the creatures themselves that affected the bed. The discomfort in Chang Ruijia's stomach also subsided a lot, and she slowly poured sea water from the sea beside her to clean the bed.
Practice makes perfect. Compared to the last time when she was unexperienced and took the longest time to clean the bed, Chang Ruijia was particularly familiar with the process this time. In just a short while, she had cleaned the bed thoroughly.
If this had happened in the past, even if she had lost her job at this moment, she would definitely be a good housekeeper! Looking at the fruits of her hard work, Chang Ruijia thought with some pride.
The bed was almost cleaned, and Chang Ruijia raised her hand to pull the canopy above her head slightly towards the head of the bed, so that the sunlight, which had been extremely strong in the past few days, would shine directly on the foot of the bed, drying the wet sheets as quickly as possible.
Things still need to be done step by step. After cleaning up the mess at the end of the bed, Chang Ruijia's eyes returned to the extremely messy bedding caused by the rapid progress.
Because after waking up this morning, she couldn't wait to use the slingshot she had prepared to deal with the unknown creatures on the seabed, so the items that appeared last night were not actually properly kept.
Apart from the items she had casually stuffed into her pockets, everything else that was not heavy enough fell into the sea as they moved, resulting in heavy losses.
Looking at the few items left on the bed, Chang Ruijia sighed in her heart and silently started to pack up.
However, while she was packing, she was also thinking about how to store these things more properly. She couldn't have to bear some losses every time she harvested a huge unknown creature, right?
Her eyes fell on the coffee table that appeared last night and filled the vacancy left by making slingshots, and suddenly a new idea popped into Chang Ruijia's head.
Although she had tried every possible way to secure her pockets to the head of the bed, the number of clothes she had was limited after all, and she couldn't secure every new item in her pockets every time it appeared on the bed.
The feel of the slingshot she used today just gave her a new idea. If she could use the rubber ring of a car inner tube to fix it to the headboard to form a huge storage space, wouldn't it be more convenient for her who had to spend a lot of time and effort to tidy up every time?
Since this idea popped up in her head, Chang Ruijia started her torturous journey on car tires again after a short rest.
But this time, her production process will never be as simple and crude as a slingshot.
It is not that easy to make a car's rubber inner tube into the shape you want. If its material is really something that can be manipulated at will, it would not have been used as the material for car tires in its previous life.
It took her two full days just to cut the car inner tube into the shape she wanted.
Looking at the fist-thick circles of rubber that finally appeared on the bed, Chang Ruijia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It was not only because of the difficulty in cutting, but also because during the field measurement, she suddenly discovered that a car inner tube could not completely solve the problem of the bed being expanded to five or six meters.
So this work took two days, four car inner tubes, and two whole nights of being forced to use the bed function to recover my strength before I finally completed them all.
But looking at the rubber ring that was enough to wrap up the entire bed, although Chang Ruijia felt that her body was still strong, she still felt that all the hard work was worth it. Moreover, the burst of strength that broke through the limit again and again also made her overall strength develop further.
Now that the materials were fully prepared, the only thing left for her to do was to put them all together.
Due to the lack of tools at hand, there is actually nothing practical that can fix them here well. Chang Ruijia can only use the most primitive and simple method, knotting these rubber rings together one by one like a fishing net, and weaving them into a huge net bag shape.
This is the most effective way to store items that she can think of at the moment. Although there are still large gaps on the net bag that allow some small items to escape, it can already play a good role in fixing those large items.
Moreover, Chang Ruijia has no intention of discarding those discarded pockets. Since large items can be fixed with net bags, the pockets can be turned into a storage paradise for small items.
The woven rubber net was tied to the entire headboard. Chang Ruijia's originally clean solid wood headboard had now become a wall covered with fishing nets, except for a deep knife mark that was accidentally cut on it before.
In order to allow the net bag to store more, Chang Ruijia did not tie the bottom of the net bag too tightly, but instead loosened a large part of the space to form a large pocket that is tight at the top and bottom and loose in the middle.
Sitting on the coffee table behind her and looking at the fruits of her hard work, Chang Ruijia's heart was full of satisfaction.
It is undeniable that the past two days were a hard process, and she even stopped capturing unknown creatures because of it. However, watching her "home" being improved step by step, the huge sense of satisfaction still made her very happy.
Especially when she saw that the bed was finally restored to its former neatness after the net bag was completed, the indescribable sense of satisfaction eroded her entire heart.
Life is really beautiful!
After sorting out all the trivial matters around her, Chang Ruijia finally set her sights on the sea surface which was full of unknown creatures.
The original purpose of making the net bag was not only to hold more things, but also mainly because I didn't want to lose too many things during another escape.
Now that the net bag has been completely completed, the plan to resume fishing should be ready to start again.
However, this time, before Chang Ruijia attacked the creatures on the seabed again, there was still an important thing to deal with.
How was she going to pull the dead monster's body back?
If she wants to pull the monster's body back without going into the sea, she must ensure that there is something connecting her and the monster's loss of body.
The first thing that came to Chang Ruijia’s mind was a fishing rod.
Although her current behavior is slightly different from fishing, the principle is similar. She uses a lethal kitchen knife (fishhook) to kill the fish and then harvest her spoils.
However, she is still missing one most important thing, which is the fishing line on the fishing rod.
But now I think that even if I really find the fishing line from my previous life, I am afraid there is no way to remove these big fish that are three or four meters long, so I still need to find something to replace it.
Her eyes first fell on the rubber rings left over from the previous weaving of the net, but Chang Ruijia finally shook her head somewhat dissatisfied.
Although the rubber ring looks similar to a fishing line when stretched, its elasticity cannot be ignored. If anything goes wrong with the monster, or if the monster's body is blocked by an obstacle, once she tries to use force, the result may be that the monster will be blown into the sky by the over-used rubber ring, or even hit the bed.
Chang Ruijia didn't want to be "fishing" when a sudden mountain fell on her. It would be a challenge to everyone's heart endurance.
However, apart from the rubber ring, there were not many items around her that could serve as a backup. She also had to consider the weight of the monster itself. To prevent the "fishing line" from suddenly breaking in the middle and causing the previous tragedy again, she had to find something that could withstand this weight.
His eyes moved around the bed again and again. Chang Ruijia even considered whether the things in the system mall had different uses. Finally, out of desperation, he set his sights on the wind rope that was supporting the canopy.
Chang Ruijia's eyes lit up. This wind rope was a top-notch thing. Even in such a violent storm, the fixed wind rope turned the skylight into a huge windproof pocket, and there was no sign of damage at all.
Even when her bed was bumped up and hit the ceiling hard, she was able to bear all the weight until she was finally pulled back to the bed at an infinitely shortened distance.
It seems that the wind rope is an item that can replace the fishing line to harvest monster corpses!
Chang Ruijia rubbed the wind rope that was pulling the canopy in her hand with some unbearable pain. She swallowed her saliva and suppressed the idea of taking down the only canopy.
In the scorching sun these days, the sky curtain has begun to occupy an important economic position in her life. It is not something that can be sacrificed simply by being harvested by a monster.
Fortunately, Chang Ruijia's choice of the skylight was not the only one. After his system redemption authority was upgraded to level four, the skylight had appeared in the list as a normal commodity.
It just so happened that Chang Ruijia had thought about using a canopy as the surrounding walls before, but because the cost was too extravagant, she had not actually put it into action.
But now, if you must use wind ropes to harvest the unknown creatures that have been slaughtered, then exchanging them for a sky curtain is not a waste.
Since she had already made the decision in her mind, Chang Ruijia quickly exchanged a new skylight from the mall.
Looking at the four pieces of wind rope that she finally got, Chang Ruijia couldn't wait to tie them together tightly, connecting them into an extremely long rope.
However, Chang Ruijia was troubled by how to connect the wind rope serving as the "fishing line" to the "fish hook".
In the modern society where tools are readily available, one can simply use an electric drill to drill a hole in the handle of the kitchen knife and tie the rope firmly to the handle. But what can Chang Ruijia do now?
Even if a rope is tied to a bare handle, it will definitely slip off involuntarily due to the huge force involved.
Motioning with the sound of the wind and the kitchen knife in her hands, Chang Ruijia had never expected that she would end up having no way out of this matter.
Looking at the kitchen knife that had no clue what to do, Chang Ruijia took a deep breath and told herself not to worry, there would definitely be a way to solve it.
What she needed now was an object that could be used to tie a rope to the kitchen knife, either on the blade or on the handle, as long as it could be ensured to be firm.
At the very least, the rope should be stuck somewhere on the kitchen knife.
Stuck on the kitchen knife? Thinking about the feasibility of this matter, Chang Ruijia's eyes suddenly lit up. If she were to say that the strongest object she had encountered so far, it would definitely be the car tire that she had been helpless to deal with before.
However, since all the inner tubes were used to make net bags, when I got home I could only place my last hope on the car tires, which were difficult to cut even with a kitchen knife.
Looking at the tire in front of her that was as thick as a finger, Chang Ruijia touched her arms which had become increasingly stronger in the past two days due to cutting car inner tubes, hoping that she could at least cut off a small piece of the tire.
She is not greedy, really!
Even though he had made sufficient preparations, when the kitchen knife hit the car tire for the first time, Chang Ruijia was still startled by his palm which was almost numb from the shock.
It really is the strongest tire. Its thickness and strength are beyond imagination.
Chang Ruijia focused the kitchen knife on an inner circle. She was pulling the knife continuously as if it were a saw, but every time she pulled it, she would breathe heavily, and the sweat on her head would pour down like rain in an instant.
Chang Ruijia was forced to take a break after pulling for a while for this tiny piece of car tire, which was not even as big as a palm. It took her a whole afternoon to cut off a small piece.
Comparing the size of the small piece of inner tube with the handle of the kitchen knife, Chang Ruijia placed it on the surface of the coffee table and kept poking down with the tip of the knife until a round hole the size of a coin was slowly formed.
After adjusting the bed again and regaining her strength, Chang Ruijia carried out the final step of assembly, pushing the fragments of the car tire that had punctured the original engine hard onto the handle of the kitchen knife.
In order to ensure that the wind rope would not be easily broken off even if the monster struggled, Chang Ruijia could only drive on the car tire with minimal movement. He could only use his own strength to continuously press the handle into the tire fragments.
By the time the fragment was safely trapped between the handle and the blade, Chang Ruijia was already covered in sweat from exerting too much force.
She had originally thought of stuffing a few more fragments into the handle if possible to ensure the final safety of the rope, but after overcoming the difficulty of the first fragment, she completely gave up the idea.
One piece of debris has already made her like this. If she cuts out a few more pieces, she will really be exhausted to death.
Chang Ruijia used the angle formed by the kitchen knife blade and the tire fragments to firmly bind the rope. She kicked it with all her strength several times to make sure there was no slipping, and then gave up her attempt.
Now everything is ready!
However, as a person who always has a Plan B for everything, Chang Ruijia did not act rashly. Instead, he looked at the sea in the distance, waiting for the arrival of another protagonist, Xiao Yi, before continuing to harvest monsters again.
No matter what, if all her plans really failed, then Xiao Yi would be her final trump card. Moreover, if the situation of escaping like last time happened again, she felt that it would be safer to have Xiao Yi there.
Looking at the figure gradually swimming towards her in the distance, Chang Ruijia finally calmed down and continued to transform into a human slingshot, aiming at an unknown creature on the seabed.
I hope I can continue to capture creatures I have never seen before this time!
After Chang Ruijia silently made a wish, she aimed at her target this time and loosened her arms in a flash.
Because one of the kitchen knives was wrapped with a rope, this time there were only six kitchen knives that were shot out in turn.
After making sure that traces of blood flow were finally seen on the seabed, Chang Ruijia finally picked up the kitchen knife that she had prepared in various ways, aimed at the place where the blood last appeared, and shot it out with a "whoosh".
The wind rope that was gathered into a circle on the bed was being pulled out quickly. Seeing that several circles of wind rope had disappeared in the blink of an eye, Chang Ruijia's heart was lifted again.
God, please make sure the monster doesn't reach the limit of the wind rope, otherwise her entire bed will be pulled away!
In order to ensure that she would not be dragged into the sea by the shot-out wind rope, Chang Ruijia tied the other end of the wind rope to her bed. In this way, even if the wind rope connected to the monster and was dragged forward madly, only the bed would be forced to move. At least her safety could be guaranteed.
Fortunately, her worries did not come true. When there were only three turns of the wind rope left on the bed, the feeling of rapid pulling finally disappeared.
So it meant that the kitchen knife hit her final target, and the monster's resistance did not intensify.
Yeah! Successfully shot, penetrated, and blocked each other!
Chang Ruijia looked intently at the bottom of the sea where the sound of the wind had disappeared. From time to time, she tentatively pulled the wind rope twice, waiting for the monster to finally stop struggling.
Although Xiao Ai didn't know why Chang Ruijia asked it to stay by the bed, the faint smell of blood coming from the bottom of the sea made it concentrate instantly.
It seems like the same thing happened again.
If Xiao Yi was an animal with hair at this moment, then the moment it felt what was happening again, its hair would definitely explode.
