Although it's rest time, now is not the time to lie down.
Gu Xi took out fish food, intending to take care of her newly adopted little pet.
The raft, which has been expanded by one plot of land, is now two meters long. Compared to the original raft, which was so small that you couldn't even put your feet down to put a box on it, it is now safer than ever.
Gu Xi squatted down and beckoned the shark to come and eat.
She wasn't sure if feeding the shark this way would make it sick.
However, the fishkeeping system indicates that the shark's food intake is 1 unit, and it can be fed 3 times a day. It seems that feeding it 3 portions at a time is also acceptable.
When the shark saw the food, it swam over happily. Gu Xi casually touched it a couple of times, then disgustedly wiped the seawater away on the raft.
That sticky feeling was really uncomfortable, but there wasn't enough water for her to wash her hands, so she had to bear with it for now.
It has to be said that this once again made her realize the importance of water.
After the sharks had eaten their fill, they happily circled the raft again, showing no resentment at being kept by humans.
Looking at the sharks, Gu Xi thought that being a shark would be quite happy; being well-fed was happiness, and there were no worries.
[Game Announcement: The countdown for the temporary "Survival at Sea" event for new players ends in 1 minute. Please prepare accordingly.]
As Gu Xi was happily lost in thought, the game announcement pulled her back to reality.
This sound not only signifies the start of the beginner activities, but also the end of her leisure time.
She sighed and gripped the fishing rod tightly again.
She still has a small goal to achieve and needs to work harder!
[Event countdown: ... 12, 11 ... 3, 2, 1]
[Event Starts]
As the activity began, the number of boxes on the sea surface noticeably increased, and their drifting speed also increased significantly.
Gu Xi previously fished out a box, which took about 40 minutes.
On the surface, with the number of boxes increased by 50%, the time it takes her to obtain a box will be greatly shortened.
But that's not actually the case; the box drifts faster, which also increases the difficulty of catching it.
It's like playing a shooting game; stationary targets are much easier than moving targets.
Although the drifting speed of the boxes was faster than that of the fixed point, it was not too difficult to hit them successfully.
But now...
Gu Xi stared at the boxes not far away and noticed that as the boxes drifted faster, the water waves they created also increased. Since the boxes were all in one place, the intensity of the waves they created was more than 50% higher.
Just as she was thinking this, the ripples of water that started after the activity reached her feet, causing the raft beneath her to rock.
Her raft has a wave resistance rating of 2, and it's only swaying a little now. You can imagine that if the raft hadn't been expanded, the swaying would have been much more noticeable.
The swaying of the raft will make aiming more difficult.
Therefore, even with an increase in the number of chests, the difficulty of catching a chest will not decrease.
For some, it could even be a disaster, such as for those with unstable chassis or those prone to seasickness.
The solution to this problem is quite simple: Gu Xi simply chooses the box that is closer to him.
Spotting a box approaching the raft, she raised her fishing rod and leaned back slightly. She braced herself with her feet, steadied herself, and after a few seconds, adjusted to the raft's swaying motion, she gently flicked the rod out.
A gentle breeze blew, causing the fishing line to sway to the left, and the originally precise hook was blown slightly off target by the wind.
