Day 2 of rafting
—Obtained [Turbid Nutrient] x1, [Rotten Antidote] x1
—Player Phantom Princess's pharmaceutical talent ↓, poison-making talent ↑.
Sleeping on a boat is no fun at all. Xia Ning felt like her brain was about to be shaken to its core, and that was even when the wind and waves weren't too big!
The ocean was shrouded in mist in the early morning, and dew condensed on the canvas. Xia Ning took an empty bottle and collected it.
She has no shortage of freshwater resources, but she cannot afford to waste them.
Like the previous dungeons, Xia Ning carries an emergency kit containing compressed biscuits, bottled water, and some medicine, in case the game suddenly uses a skill seal.
With no landmarks at sea, Xia Ning had no idea where she was drifting with the current.
But for her, it's probably all the same everywhere.
For breakfast, I had meat buns, soy milk, and fried dough sticks.
Ironically, her parents also enjoy sharing health and wellness tips.
But every time Xia Ning shares her essays about the carcinogenicity of fried dough sticks, her parents ignore it. If she posts too many, her dad will rush to defend her: "Fried dough sticks are fine if you soak them in soy milk!"
Xia Ning didn't know whether this was metaphysics or science.
However, she thought that everything should be done in moderation, and that eating it occasionally should be fine.
Besides, fried dough sticks are nowhere near as poisonous as the potions she makes ε=(′ο｀*))) Sigh
Xia Ning checked the group chat and found that many players had encountered shark attacks. She had been there for a day and a night, and apart from the food her sister had brought, she hadn't seen any fish, let alone sharks.
Is this some kind of "destroying monsters with deadly force" deterrent buff?
As soon as I mentioned my younger sister, she arrived.
This time, the little sister was really proud of herself, with a bucket on her head and a little fish in her mouth, swimming around Xia Ning's simple ark.
Xia Ning opened the wooden bucket first.
[An ordinary white resource box can help you keep a record of your ocean scavenging adventures.]
Xia Ning received:
[Torn rope x1]
Two rusty iron nails
[5 wooden planks]
Xia Ning pouted. What's wrong with picking up trash? This is her way of living an eco-friendly life!
Then I glanced at the fish my sister had brought—
[Spinyhead Plumfish (Near Death)]
Xia Ning smiled and patted the white dolphin's wet head: "You're quite picky about food, aren't you? You never eat the same thing twice."
The younger sister rubbed against Xia Ning's palm: "Whoosh~"
As she spoke, a few lines of white text suddenly flashed before Xia Ning's eyes.
—The limited-time challenge has begun.
—To gain a deeper understanding of marine ecology, players are asked to collect ten different types of fish.
——48 hours countdown
Xia Ning: !!!
As Xia Ning's gaze wandered, the white text gradually faded and eventually disappeared into the air.
Xia Ning: (⊙?⊙)
Sister: (?Θ?)))＞＞＜
Xia Ning slowly revealed a smile, then clapped her hands to encourage her younger sister:
"Great job, great job, you're amazing!"
-
Xia Ning guessed that the original intention of the task was to let players make fishing rods or go out to sea to catch fish themselves.
Xia Ning has a fishing rod and diving equipment, but she ultimately chooses to wait for the fish to bite.
She was definitely not relying on her sister, but rather giving the pets opportunities to train. As an unlicensed animal trainer, she couldn't spoil the pets too much and had to provide them with ample room to grow.
Then, Xia Ning saw the enormous creatures nurtured by the vast ocean.
She first saw a black dot in the distance, and then finally caught a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg through the binoculars.
A black dorsal fin moved forward on the waves, and even from that distance, through the sounds of the wind and the waves, Xia Ning could still hear its breathing.
Its tail swung like an oar, leaving a white trail in its wake.
That was a humpback whale.
Humpback whales are gentle whales that can reach a length of 15 meters.
As it drew closer, Xia Ning felt her raft becoming increasingly turbulent.
Water vapor spewed from the humpback whale's blowhole, creating a faint rainbow in the air.
Xia Ning took out her phone and snapped a picture.
Whales should probably be included in a fish encyclopedia.
The humpback whale showed no signs of aggression; instead, it turned towards the raft with some curiosity.
Xia Ning put down the binoculars, and the distance between the two had visibly shortened.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
Suddenly, a light pink figure appeared between the humpback whale and Xia Ning.
Xia Ning exclaimed, "Little sister!"
She never expected that her younger sister would be so loyal to her master, daring to challenge a whale several times her size.
At this moment, Xia Ning deeply understood the feelings of the Pokémon trainer.
Xia Ning shouted, "Go, white dolphin!"
At the same time, she silently added in her mind: Don't be afraid, it's okay if you can't beat them, I can help you throw the [Corrupted Antidote] to slow down the humpback whale so it can't catch up with you.
This isn't cheating; it's part of the combat support system.
Hearing Xia Ning's shout, the younger sister responded with a loud shout and then leaped up from the sea.
Xia Ning picked up her phone again, ready to record her sister's heroic fighting posture, and then watched helplessly as her sister jumped onto her raft.
The raft rocked violently, and Xia Ning stumbled, looking at her sister with a head full of questions as she transformed from a white dolphin back into a Pomeranian.
The little Pomeranian crossed its short legs and darted behind Xia Ning, then poked its fluffy head out from behind her calves and continued barking.
Little sister: "Woof! Woof!"
Xia Ning: "..."
To be honest, in that instant, an idiom popped into her mind—"the fox borrows the tiger's might."
I thought you were Pikachu, the starter Pokémon, but you're actually a Ditto!
-
Adorable and ever-changing dog
Name: Younger Sister
Gender: Father-in-law
Personality: Cautious and timid
-
The humpback whale was chased away by Xia Ning and her sister's inexplicable duet, probably feeling that they didn't welcome it, and changed direction on its own.
Xia Ning had no intention of chasing after them; she didn't have the [Vehicle Proficiency] skill, which allowed her to row without oars.
She looked down and pointed at the white ball beside her legs: "Look, you let my fish specimens escape. You have to find me seven more fish, understand? They have to be different."
As her little sister watched the enormous figure disappear into the sea, she ran to the raft and jumped in, seemingly melting into the water, transforming back into a chubby white dolphin.
Xia Ning stroked her chin, thinking to herself, being timid has its advantages.
She can't get out of the vehicle right now, so she can't use the [hazard sensor]. Her sister can use the dog to replace her.
If there's any danger in the sea, it will definitely be the first to jump up and bark.
Perfect!
