Chapter 46 Night Fishing
The sky was getting light.
Amber Mountain Reservoir also wakes up with the early morning.
The equipment looted from the fishermen was sufficient.
Although we didn't prepare a boat that could be launched directly into the water, after all, we were going fishing in the wild mountains, so we had a lot of necessary outdoor items such as ropes.
But unfortunately, neither Xu Zhiyan nor Jin Sheng are craftsmen.
The two worked all night and although they collected enough wood and even used a sharp tool to cut it in half to make it easier for people to stand, they encountered a not-so-small problem during assembly - it couldn't be tied tightly.
After rubbing the wood all night, Xu Zhiyan was almost numb.
The same goes for Jin Sheng. He is not like Xu Zhiyan who can stay up all night without any injuries. After two consecutive nights, his steps are already unsteady and his eyes are blurry.
"Can our raft be launched into the water?" Xu Zhiyan was skeptical, staring at his masterpiece created overnight with a nervous tone.
"Yes, right?" Jin Sheng rubbed his eyes and felt dizzy.
Seeing this, Xu Zhiyan was very worried about his teammates' sudden death, so after the boat was almost completed, he hurriedly sent his teammates to sleep.
Jin Sheng yawned and nodded.
He said that he would take a potion to restore his physical and mental strength, eat something and take a light sleep for an hour.
So the two of them put down their work, chose a hidden place again, made a fire, and grilled two fish for breakfast.
Maybe it was due to the lack of seasoning. The fish, which was obviously very delicious, tasted like a dark dish after being grilled. It was bitter and astringent, as if it was burnt.
Without the severe hunger added at night, the two of them looked bitter while eating this breakfast.
After a while, Jin Sheng went to rest, and Xu Zhiyan was alone, rechecking all the knots on the raft that were not very tight, to make sure that they were as tight as he could tie.
The raft was finally built.
Almost at the same moment when Xu Zhiyan finished, the live broadcast room started to noisily start betting.
[Ten points! I bet this boat can't even reach the center of the reservoir!]
[I guess this boat will sink to the bottom as soon as it enters the water.]
[It’s so funny! I bet 20 points! He definitely doesn’t dare to go up! ]
[Hahahahaha, I'm really grateful for this ship! ]
[Wow! Look at the loose gap! ]
[Hahahaha, with this knot, it seems like all of Xiao Baiwan’s skill points are spent on his mouth. These two hands are useless, hahaha]
[Yo yo yo! Look, look! He's going to put this thing in the water! ]
【Donate your hands to those in need】
[I can’t take it anymore, I’m paralyzed from laughing, look at Xiao Baiwan’s expression, hahahahaha]
[He released the raft! How confident he is!]
[Upstairs, what raft? Xiao Baiwan just released the wood that he worked so hard to process last night. ]
In the center of the live broadcast, Xu Zhiyan was facing the reservoir, standing there in a daze, holding a rope in his hand that was used to tie the raft to prevent it from floating away.
At the other end of the rope, the fruits of a night’s hard work were falling apart.
Because the criss-crossing wood was not arranged in the correct order and the knots were not tied tightly, after the first lock was unfastened after entering the water, the others opened with a crackling sound as if they were summoned.
In just a few minutes, this raft, which was launched for the first time, had lost seven or eight pieces of wood.
Xu Zhiyan stared blankly, counted briefly, and his expression became solemn.
Tsk, the wood that ran away was tied by him!
After making sure the remaining wood didn't fall apart again, he resigned himself to his fate and tied the cable aside, waiting for his teammates to wake up.
There are still two fish that they tricked from Jiang Huai Que yesterday. According to the superposition of the hunger status gain, they have to catch at least ten fish during the day to ensure that they will not be overwhelmed by hunger when fishing at night.
It was the first time that Xu Zhiyan realized that this crappy game was so difficult.
He thought that he just needed to clear the levels and decipher the puzzles, but he didn't expect that the survival copy actually required extremely strong hands-on skills.
Sitting on the folding chair, he looked at Xiaoyi flying in the sky, and couldn't help but think of Jiang Huai Que, who he had just deceived last night.
Although this guy has a foul mouth, a bad temper and is very good at attracting hatred, his sickle is quite powerful. At least he is very accurate when chopping trees. His combat capability should not be too low. He also has a clear distinction between love and hate and a conscience. He is good at handicrafts. I saw him weaving a straw mat last night... More importantly, he cooks delicious food.
That’s right, the grilled fish Xiaoyi brought back tasted much better than the one he and Jinsheng made!
After sitting on the shore and thinking for a while, Xu Zhiyan stood up and looked at the other side. He habitually labeled the person he was targeting as a foul-mouthed, violent mother.
Although it comes with its own troubles and is targeted by players on the potential list, solving these troubles does not seem to be a big deal compared to the improvement that the male mother attribute brings to the team.
We have to find a time to get him to join us.
Tsk, if I had known I wouldn’t have lied to him yesterday.
Xu Zhiyan thought.
"Woof woof! Woof woof woof!"
Xiaoyi's irritable voice sounded.
Xu Zhiyan gathered his thoughts and realized that the helicopter puppy that was flying happily in the sky just now had come down from the sky at some point and was standing on the shore, barking wildly at the lake, with its hair all standing on end, as if it had encountered something terrible.
Looking in the direction Xiaoyi was facing, Xu Zhiyan raised his eyebrows.
The raft disintegrated just after entering the water, and seven or eight pieces of wood disappeared without a trace and floated away in an instant.
Now, for some reason, all the wood had floated back again and was stuck on the shore, within his reach.
It was as if someone was deliberately sending the wood back.
After being freed from manual labor, Xu Zhiyan's intelligence returned to normal. He stood by the lake, looking down at the pieces of wood he had brought back.
The water in the Amber Mountain Reservoir seems to have something special. No one knows what is in the water until it is out of the water.
Under the water, a group of arms of rotten bodies were busy with their own things, almost non-stop trying to find all the wood that had floated away, and then hide them tremblingly, for fear that the wood would float away again.
Right below them, the half-snake god that was swimming back and forth, swinging its tail, was obviously a little anxious.
Through the water, the snake god could see the young man's long, straight legs and seductive jawline.
So stupid, this human being.
It thought helplessly.
The original plan was to pull the person down after the other party sailed into the center of the lake, but how could this thing that was not even a boat possibly reach the center of the lake?
It’s better to drag him into the water here.
As soon as that human's hand touched the water, he could no longer leave...
The more it thought about it, the more excited it became. It swung its tail harder and harder, hitting the rock wall on the shore, scaring the surrounding fish and causing them to flee in all directions.
The corrupt bodies made way for the giant snake god to come under the water, ensuring that as long as the human reached out to grab the wood, he would be pulled underwater.
However, things don't always go as planned.
The half-snake god ultimately failed to wait for its human to reach his hand into the water.
Xu Zhiyan looked at the rippling lake, stood up and took a few steps back.
There's something wrong with this water. It's better not to touch it rashly.
He found a branch, held his breath, squatted down, and slowly extended the branch into the water. He could feel a slight pulling force, but it was not strong.
Under the water surface, which Xu Zhiyan couldn't see, a scarlet forked tongue was wrapping around his branch...
The half-snake god licked the scent of the young man almost greedily, with an intoxicated expression.
If Xu Zhiyan saw this, he would definitely call it a pervert.
Feeling the pull on the branch, Xu Zhiyan quickly let go. After hearing some movement behind him, he stood up and no longer paid attention to the water.
Jin Sheng woke up and felt much more comfortable after a light sleep.
Looking at the raft that was no longer in sight, he murmured, "I just had a dream that we had tied up this raft."
"That was not a dream. I just wanted to throw it into the water to try it out, and I found that the quality of these woods seemed to be not very good." Xu Zhiyan took over the topic and shrugged.
On the principle of blaming the game rather than reflecting on yourself.
After two or three sentences, the two attributed the reason why the raft could not be launched into the water to a game bug. Anyway, the manual skills could not be improved on the spot, so there would be no psychological burden if they thought this way.
Just as Jinsheng was hesitating about what to do next, ships began to appear on the reservoir one after another.
After the difficult first night, the players who were still able to move gradually found ways to complete the task.
There were no living creatures in the surrounding woods but there were plenty of trees, so all the players who wanted to take a boat to the center of the lake started doing handicrafts.
Soon, three rafts appeared on the water.
In addition to the basic raft made of thinner wood, someone actually cut down a tree so big that several people needed to hug it, hollowed out the inside and made it into a hull.
"This one looks pretty impressive, and yet very simple." Jin Sheng pointed at the boat in amazement.
Xu Zhiyan also stared at the strange-looking wooden boat.
Just as the two were hesitating whether to go find a thicker tree, an accident happened on the water.
The cylindrical wooden boat that had just been sailing smoothly began to sway from side to side.
Although the other rafts also swayed, their frequency and amplitude were not as great as its own.
Soon, the amplitude became more and more violent. It didn't seem like the wind was blowing at all, but more like something was pushing against the underwater part of the wooden boat.
“Plop——”
A few seconds later, the cylindrical wooden boat was turned over!
Fortunately, at the last moment, the two players inside discovered something was wrong and jumped off the boat in time, thus avoiding the embarrassment of being trapped inside.
"It's a close call. If the boat capsized and we were trapped inside, we would have been in trouble again." Jin Sheng breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Xu Zhiyan shook his head in disapproval.
Thinking of the wood that just floated back inexplicably and the monster that he had caught before, he asked with lingering fear: "After falling into the water, can the player really get out?"
As soon as the words fell, the two players who were swimming towards the shore screamed.
"Ahhhhhhhh! Something is biting me!!"
"Who, poof - who is pulling my leg..."
"Ah-ah-help-"
"save……"
They were calling for help with almost all their might, and almost all the players on the shore heard it.
But the incident happened too quickly, and before the other players could react, the two were pulled into the water.
With this example, the other two rickety rafts did not move toward the center of the reservoir, but instead quickly returned to the shore.
Something in the water can capsize the boat, so the quality of the hull becomes particularly important.
Jin Sheng scratched his hair, feeling a little worried.
When I turned around, I saw that my teammates had returned to the tent and started searching.
"What are you looking for?" he asked puzzledly.
Now it is more important to find a way to build a ship.
"Come and help me take out the things in the bag." As he said that, Xu Zhiyan threw a backpack to Jin Sheng, and he grabbed a folding stool and picked up a pair of scissors to start working.
Jin Sheng didn't understand, but he always trusted his teammates' judgment.
He did whatever Xu Zhiyan said.
The audience in the live broadcast room were full of questions, wondering what the two were up to next.
[If they don't make boats, what are they doing? Improving their craftsmanship skills? ]
[Curious... I saw other people's live broadcasts and they have already started to think about how to make bigger and stronger boats. ]
[Yes! Especially Zhuo Yong, who is worthy of being a potential player. They learned from the previous two people's lessons and planned to use two thick pieces of wood to make a boat connected together, so that even if there are water ghosts shaking it, it will not capsize. ]
[Hmm? You see Xiao Baiwan? What does he ask Jin Sheng to do? ]
As the two men’s handiwork continued to improve, the barrage of comments almost filled the screen.
[…Hey, hey, no way! ]
【? This? What the hell? 】
[One hundred ways to use helicopter dogs? ? ]
[My imagination is not rich enough, I apologize now! ]
Next to the camp, Xu Zhiyan sucked on his fingertips that had just been pierced by needle and thread, and threw the sewn equipment to Jin Sheng with one hand.
Jin Sheng took it, his face dull.
He foolishly handed the thing in his hand to the little one who was wagging its tail happily.
The next second, the helicopter dog took off.
I saw Xiaoyi hanging in the air, wearing a tattered dog vest with poor workmanship. Under the vest, a stretched-out folding chair was sewn with various ropes, and the backpack strap was even thoughtfully converted into a safety rope.
With the encouraging gaze of his teammates, Jin Sheng sat on the car and fastened his seat belt.
Soon, the helicopter dog took off!
To ensure safety, Xu Zhiyan did not let Xiaoyi go directly to the center of the lake. Instead, he arranged for Xiaoyi to fly around the lake and asked Jinsheng to pay attention to the situation of the Jianghuai Partridge.
Xiaoyi happily drove his owner around the lake, and the whole dog looked so happy!
It likes new ways of playing the most!
After Jinsheng landed, Xu Zhiyan checked the extent of the detachment of the straps that he had sewn very poorly, while writing and drawing with a pen, thinking about how to improve it.
Jin Sheng fell silent, and the barrage also fell silent.
Only the half-snake god who was waiting for Xu Zhiyan in the water changed his previous depressed look.
Yes! That's right!
How could this person kill himself if he couldn't even handle such a small matter?
It's really getting more and more exciting!
The more capable this beautiful human is, the more beautifully she will cry after surrendering!
It waved its tail, wishing it could rush out of the water immediately.
