This fishing spot was indeed the place with the most mantis shrimp. Within five minutes, there was movement in the net bag.
Mo Song quietly moved the camera over. Su Zike understood and carefully lifted the net bag up, revealing the densely packed mantis shrimps inside.
Each of them is as long as an adult man's index finger. The shrimp shell is light gray and the shrimp meat inside is a little transparent. When the shrimp body is turned over, you can see that one part is white, which looks very fat.
The scene froze strangely. Su Zike coughed dryly and said casually, "There should be about 40 to 50 mantis shrimps in this net bag. I'll pick out the largest ten and feed them the 'Taming Grass Balls'. I'll take the rest back and see what to do with them."
Someone in the comments had exposed him on the spot: "Humph! You said to see what to do, but you should stop drooling. You just want their bodies, you are despicable!!!"
After hearing what the audience said, Su Zike admitted it without any guilt. Yes, he was just craving for the leftover mantis shrimps and planned to take them back and make them into salt and pepper flavored ones.
The audience was so angry that they cursed wildly in the barrage, but they could still watch it but not eat it.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Mo Song quickly brought the topic back to the topic.
"Okay, okay, now that we've caught all the mantis shrimps, let's just wait for Su Zike to tame them. The most exciting moment is about to arrive!"
Su Zike took out two more buckets from his backpack, poured all the mantis shrimps he had caught into one of the buckets, and then carefully selected them. He picked out the ten largest and strongest-looking ones and put them into the other bucket.
I put the remaining mantis shrimps into my backpack, and the next second I had a green ball in my hand.
"I'm starting now. Whether my plan will succeed depends on this grass ball!" Su Zike said confidently, and then he broke the grass ball into pieces bit by bit and fed it to the mantis shrimps in the bucket according to Tang Ying's previous instructions.
The "Tamed Grass Ball" is indeed produced by the village chief and must be a top-quality product. It is not only loved by those who run on the ground, but also by those who swim in the water.
As soon as the grass balls fell into the bucket, they attracted the scramble of the mantis shrimps, who rushed to grab them, fearing that they would be one step late and eat less than their brothers and sisters. None of the grass balls that fell into the bucket survived for more than three seconds, and all were eaten up by the mantis shrimps.
The live broadcast footage shot at close range was watched with great fascination by the audience, and some even said it was like raising a Gu.
As the grass ball in Su Zike's hand gradually became smaller, it meant that this feeding would soon come to an end. Whether he would get a string of ten mantis shrimps as a pet, or a gorgeous and huge mantis shrimp vehicle, the answer would soon be known.
Finally, all the "tamed grass balls" were fed, and the smiling expression on Su Zike's face turned serious. He held his breath and waited for the final judgment of fate.
Fate (Bai Li) did not disappoint him.
When the mantis shrimps finished eating the last bite of the tamed grass ball, the system message and world announcement appeared together.
[Congratulations to the player "Su Zike" for being recognized by "Pipi Shrimp", obtaining the pet "Pipi Shrimp (10)", and being awarded the title "Shrimp King"!]
Su Zike was stunned for a moment, and his eyes gradually began to glow from darkness, and burst into bright color at the critical point. He checked the pet panel for the first time, and after seeing one of the skills, he shouted "Done!"
Mo Song and the audience in the live broadcast room were also brought back to their senses by his yelling. After realizing what he said, they became extremely curious.
"Su Zike, can these mantis shrimps really turn into super-large mantis shrimps? Do you want to show it to the audience?" Mo Song rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Okay, I'll let them try it now." After the initial excitement, Su Zike quickly regained his composure and acted calmly.
He tried hard to act like a master, but his efforts failed after he clicked on the "Pipi Shrimp Fusion" skill.
The mantis shrimps, which were originally connected head to tail, suddenly became agitated. They let go of their companions' tails, and their bodies flew off to play stacking. As the mantis shrimps quickly stacked up, a dazzling white light burst out from their bodies. The white light became brighter and brighter, and directly pushed Su Zike and Mo Song, who were standing on the side, aside.
The two looked at each other in confusion.
The white light lasted for about 10 seconds, and when it slowly faded, a huge, red mantis shrimp appeared in front of the two. It was more than three meters long, with its back bent and arched to a height of almost one meter. Its fist-sized eyes blinked at Su Zike, revealing admiration and obedience.
Being stared at by such a big mantis shrimp, Su Zike actually felt a little nervous, fearing that the shrimp would bite off his head if it was not happy. Noticing the look in the mantis shrimp's eyes, he suddenly thought of the new title.
"Shrimp King" can be obtained by taming ten or more shrimp animals at the same time. It increases the favorability with shrimp pets by 50% while wearing it.
What does this mean? This means that the prawn in front of him will never hurt him.
Su Zike felt that he might not believe in the instincts of animals, but he could definitely believe in everything the game gave him.
So, amidst Mo Song's hesitant gaze and the screaming comments from the audience in the live broadcast room, he reached out and touched the shrimp's lowered head.
This action seems to be very useful to the mantis shrimp. Its big eyes changed from black and round to a cute smiling face. Not to mention, it's quite cute.
Ten minutes later.
Mo Song sat stiffly on the shrimp's back, letting the live camera follow him. He was struggling with whether to hold onto the waist of the person in front of him. He felt that if he didn't hold onto something, he would be thrown off by the shrimp's "boom boom boom" legs, like an old train.
Sitting in the front, holding the reins, Su Zike didn't feel the bumpiness at all, he only felt the speed of the Mantis Shrimp, it was like the wind. It took them more than half an hour to walk from the village gate to the estuary, but it took them less than ten minutes to ride the Mantis Shrimp back, how efficient it was!
The audience in the live broadcast room were laughing like crazy.
"Hahahaha, Su Zike, look at the person behind you. I think his butt is broken. Hahaha. That look of despair on my face can make me laugh for a whole year!"
"I got the emoticon package. If you need it, please private message me after the live broadcast~"
"Hold on, anchor. I can already see the village. Victory is just around the corner. I hope your balls are okay!"
“Hahahaha! I didn’t expect that I would end up with broken balls while riding a vehicle…”
"I am crying for the anchor's balls."
"In front, you..."
When Mo Song got off the shrimp with trembling legs, he was faced with the strange rumor that "a well-known anchor lost everything because of taking a new type of transportation."
Mo Song: ???
No?! Wasn't it because he had no experience riding the Pipi Shrimp for the first time, and his expression was a little ferocious, how could it be that everything went to waste! What's wrong with the audience this time? Can't they think well of him?
Before he could explain to the audience and thank them for their concern for his hip, people gathered around him and Su Zike.
"Wow, this is the mantis shrimp you caught, Su Zike. It's bigger and more majestic than what I saw in the live broadcast room. Hey, can I touch it?"
"Brother, you're awesome! You can come up with such an idea. Your imagination must have grown wings! It's a pity that we can't replicate your success..."
"Hey, it seems that this mantis shrimp can grow bigger because of a skill? Even if someone follows the trend and tries to catch it, they may not be able to catch a mantis shrimp with the skill of fusion. It all depends on fate. So, brother, can you let us touch your big mantis shrimp?"
The players who came over chattered, praising Su Zike for his good luck, and hinted that they wanted to touch it. Of course, if Su Zike was willing to take them for a ride on the shrimp, they would not refuse.
Su Zike was very pleased with the flattery and generously agreed to the players' requests to touch her, but he also set a time limit, allowing each person to touch for only five seconds. If they touched her for too long, his baby would get angry.
As for taking them for a ride? Don't even think about it. He's not short of money, so he doesn't want to be a rickshaw driver.
Huilin and his companions also came to watch the fun. When they saw Su Zike sitting back on the mantis shrimp, they all thought of their wild boar pets.
Compared to the mantis shrimp, doesn’t the wild boar look more like a mount?
Thinking of this, their hearts also became hot.
Among so many people with faces full of curiosity and surprise, there was only one person with a sad face. He was wearing a black dress with dark embroidered patterns, looking at the high-spirited young man not far away, and he wanted to find a nearby tree to hit himself to death. Woohoo, if he had known that only one "taming grass ball" could tame such a powerful pet, he would not have exchanged it out of greed.
As expected, no item in the game is ordinary. There are no junk items, only idiots who can't use them perfectly.
Woo woo woo!
However, no matter how excited the players are and how much they want to find special pets in the game, they have no chance for the time being. On the second day after the combined mantis shrimp appeared, the last tamed grass ball was used up.
Players who received the pets they wanted were naturally satisfied, and those who didn’t also suppressed their emotions and just waited for the next opportunity to come.
The players who had finally calmed down once again turned their attention to the "Village Chief's Residence" task that had been more than half completed. They held their breath and frantically collected and submitted materials. The points of every player on the contribution list were rising rapidly, and the number one was "What Are You Doing" which had dominated the list for many days.
By the end of February 12, soil, stones, copper ore, wood planks, flower seeds, and silver ore had all been collected. Only a few dozen glass stones, koi, and rare tree species were left. The players were sure that the next day, February 13, would be the day when the mission would be successfully completed.
In the early hours of the morning, a new post appeared in the forum of the "Holographic Game Design Competition".
"The 'Village Chief's Residence' mission in "Leisure Farming" is about to be completed. The first place in the contribution list can get the naming rights of the village. Give the village a nice name. Do you have any suggestions?"
As soon as the online players who were posting the game saw this title, they were instantly excited. What?! We need to give the village a name? Great, let me do it, it will give the game a sense of participation!
