"When the tide rises, many marine creatures are washed onto the beach. When the tide recedes, these washed-up marine creatures are left stranded on the beach," Xu Piao explained as they walked. "When we pick up these marine creatures, it's called 'sea catching'."
"Oh! I see. It's just like gathering plants and ores in dungeons!" Little Cabbage, who was in a difficult situation, suddenly realized, "No problem. I'm good at this! I love gathering the most."
Xu Piao remained silent, not rushing to explain the difference. He simply told the naive Xiao Baicai the general methods for finding marine life, such as looking for bulges and holes, and watched him rush to the beach, ready to try. Xu Piao himself slowly followed behind.
The cabbage in the gap between green and yellow should have been well-prepared, but when he arrived at the beach, he felt that there was only sand everywhere, all the same, without any protrusions or holes.
"This is it, right? There's a hole here?" After searching for a long time, he stared at a small hole and tentatively waved the small shovel to dig.
But after digging for a while, he still didn't see anything. Xu Piao watched him shovel the place so hard that it was almost collapsing. He shook his head and decided to give the internal tester a cheat. He walked a few steps and found a small sandbag lying in the sand. He waved to the cabbage in the gap and said, "Don't shovel over there. Just touch here with your hands."
Xiao Baicai stopped shoveling, took a few steps and ran over. As Xu Piao said, he reached out and touched the small sandbag. After a few touches, he felt something hard.
[Clam: an edible shellfish.]
"Such a small thing is really good at hiding." The cabbage, which was in a difficult situation, muttered to itself and looked at the clams for a few times. It washed off the mud and sand in the water and threw them into the wooden barrel.
"The small hole may be a bit difficult for you. I will give you a direction aid so that it will be easier to dig. Now let's find the one lying on the sand." Xu Piao pointed to a small sandbag to Xiao Baicai.
This time I found a cat's eye snail, the most common one found at the beach. It was so big that it was bigger than my palm.
"Try pinching it." Xu Piao reminded.
"Huh? Why?"
"Don't worry about why, just pinch it."
The young cabbage, which was in a period of transition from green to yellow, was pinched obediently. Uh, he pinched the shell but not the shell. Under the gaze of the producer and the audience in the live broadcast room, he pinched the flesh of the cat's eye snail.
The water-rich snail meat immediately began to ooze out water, and the water-soaked snail meat shrank back into the shell droopingly.
He was startled at first, and then his eyes slowly lit up.
"Wow, this is quite refreshing..." The cabbage that was in a period of transition was still not satisfied and even wanted to put the cat's eye snail back into the water to absorb some water and then squeeze it again.
[Wow, this pinch feels strangely good! ]
[It seems to be getting interesting]
[However, how can you see such a shallow bump? Why can't I see it? Am I blind?]
[Actually, I'm wondering if Xiaobaicai's holographic cabin hasn't been updated yet?]
"I changed it! I just changed to a new holographic cabin last month!" Xiao Baicai, who was in a period of transition, had a rare chance to pay attention to the barrage of comments. He saw someone questioning that his device version was too low, and he immediately refuted it.
【Then why can’t we see it? 】
"Can you blame my holographic cabin for this? I can't see it even though I'm right here!" he said confidently.
"A crab crawled over to where you put the bucket." Xu Piao reminded again.
Xiao Baicai, who was in a critical period of life, quickly lowered his head to look. He squinted his eyes and stared at the wooden barrel for a long time but didn't see anything there. He used a shovel to dig around but still couldn't find anything. Finally, Xu Piao couldn't bear it anymore and pulled out the pliers from the barrel to pick up the crab from the muddy water.
“…How did you see that?!”
"Its eyes are leaking out."
[Okay, I can now confirm that it’s not Xiaobaicai’s holographic cabin that’s causing the problem]
Where are the eyes of this creature called the Flower Crab? Are they those two little dots on top? Who can see them?!
[Is there a possibility that CH is actually cheating? ]
I don’t know if ch is using any cheats, but he is indeed very interested in this way of playing. Even though his eyesight is not sharp enough and he often can’t even see the bulge at his feet, the producer will remind him!
And as he was catching the fish, the audience in the live broadcast room seemed to have found a trick and would give him a reminder from time to time, telling him that there seemed to be a small bulge somewhere or something moved in the water.
Unconsciously, Xiao Baicai, who was in a difficult situation, could find some places where there were obviously things lying in the sand without Xu Piao's reminder. He picked up half of the originally empty wooden barrel with various marine creatures.
The most common ones are crabs, shells, cat's-eye snails, and occasionally a few octopuses - the name of octopus in StarCraft is [Evil Centipede]. When Xiao Baicai first encountered it, he didn't dare to catch it. It was only after watching the producer catch the octopus in his hands and knead it and play with it that he slowly began to dare to catch it.
It took three octopuses to go from daring to catching one to finding it fun.
Anyway, in the end, the cabbage that was in the transition period had become like a happy 300-pound child, running around on the beach with a wooden bucket in his hand, searching with his eyes wide open, almost sticking to the beach.
[Left, left, something moved in the sand. It must be a crab lying in the sand!]
[??? How did you see it? Why can't I see anything?]
[Hahaha! Because I’m wearing a motion capture headset, you little idiot]
[What a coincidence, I also wear a dynamic assist device hahaha]
[I didn’t bring it, I have good eyesight! ]
"Found it, it's a blue crab!" Xiao Baicai, who was in a difficult situation, looked in the direction mentioned in the barrage and actually found a crab lying on the sand. He happily shoveled the crab out with a small shovel, and then tried to shovel the crab into the wooden barrel.
However, the blue crab seemed to be particularly ferocious, with its thoracic legs raised and claws bared. He couldn't pick it up with a shovel, and he couldn't do it according to the method taught by CH to catch it from the back. Even if he used pincers, he was not quick enough and the blue crab always avoided him.
"What a flexible movement! This crab is a master, but I will definitely catch it!" The expression of the cabbage was serious. He held the claws and tried to test the blue crab left and right. Seeing that the crab looked so energetic, he was ready to use the claws to knock the shell on the back of the blue crab to knock it unconscious, but unfortunately, the claws were clamped by the blue crab's big claws.
So it suddenly turned into a fight with crabs, and the fight was very intense.
【Fight! Fight!】
[If the pliers are caught, use the shovel to sneak attack, Xiaobaicai, and hit it on the head! If that doesn't work, use your hands. Both of its hands are occupied, so if you grab its butt directly, it won't be able to resist!]
[Help, I’m so high hahaha]
Let me play! Let me play! I didn't expect it to be so funny before I clicked in. I want to play too!
After Xu Piao joined the audience in the live broadcast room to look for seafood, he took the initiative to reduce his presence and paid attention to the feedback from the audience in the live broadcast room.
Judging from the data, the number of barrages started to increase after the first cat's eye snail was picked up, and more people participated in the online sea-hunting. This shows that sea-hunting is indeed a more popular way of playing as she thought. I just don't know if fishing will have such a good response as sea-hunting.
After all, fishing is a very addictive activity on earth, and fishing is also a place where talented people emerge in large numbers.
When Xu Piao was constructing the village, she felt that the sea and the lake had different scenery and beauty. In addition, some tourists preferred the activity of rafting in Huzhou, so she added a lake in the back mountain of the village. She also planned to arrange a daily activity of team fishing in the lake, which could be used to interact with other players.
However, it is probably too late for people to experience this way of playing today. Whether it is Xiaobaicai, who is in a period of transition, or the audience in his live broadcast room, they all seem to be still in the mood to go to the sea, and they probably won’t stop for a while.
When the sun in Taohuayuan gradually moved to the west according to the time set by Xu Piao, the host and the audience who had had a great time reluctantly returned to the shore.
The pandaren were already standing here waiting for them.
"How was your fun?" The producer gently asked Xiao Baicai, who was in a period of transition, and also asked the audience in his live broadcast room.
“Fun!”
So much fun!
[It’s fun, so when can I play it? ]
[I can’t wait to go in and fight the crabs]
Xiaobaicai, who is in a critical period of development, read out the question that is most frequently asked in his live broadcast room: "When can I play?"
"It may take some time for the public beta test, but I will open a closed beta test after the next event of "Shan Hai Lu" is over, and draw 30,000 people to participate in the closed beta test. There will be a draw button on my homepage at that time." Xu Piao said.
There was a sudden wailing in the barrage.
——Thirty thousand people seems like a lot, and for some less well-known games this may be the total number of people, but the game "Qinghuangjie Xiaobaicai" alone has hundreds of millions of fans, which is not enough to draw!
Xu Piao seemed to be unaware of the wailing in the barrage, and according to the original plan, asked them to pick out some seafood from the pile as cooking ingredients.
The blue crab that had a fight with the cabbage in the gap between green and yellow is definitely on the list. In addition, the [evil centaur] octopus also got a lot of votes, and many other cat's eye snails, moon clams and scallops were also selected.
Xu Piao looked at the selected seafood and pondered for a moment, then went offline to call 079 to come up and cook.
——Because some of the recipes have not been implemented yet, Xu Piao cannot use the automatic method to operate them, so he can only let 079, who has already learned it, come.
"Is this a functional NPC?" The aging Xiaobaicai was stunned when he saw 079. Then he looked at his futuristic clothing, which was obviously different from the Peach Blossom Spring style, and said to Xu Piao tactfully, "Is his style not suitable?"
Xu Piao couldn't help but laugh:
"Don't worry, this is for my own use, not for real use."
