Chapter 506 Eating the Lanternfish
"Yusheng Weiyi" looked completely incredulous and messaged Meng Qingyin: "Bill really got scared off by us?"
Mengmeng: "Yes, we won this psychological battle."
Yu Sheng Weiyi: "Hahaha, I never thought I could scare Bill away. He's an octopus, who knows how much higher he is than us."
Mengmeng: "Alright, Bill won't bother us for now, let's keep developing. By the way, have you ever seen a red coral reef?"
Yu Shengwei: "No, but I'll keep an eye out for you."
Mengmeng: "Thanks."
The two said goodbye and swam off in different directions.
Meng Qingyin glanced at the list and saw that she still had four tasks left, two of which were related to the Red Coral Reef.
As for the other two... one is to build a jellyfish school, and the other is a quest involving a fickle jellyfish. If she encounters other jellyfish, she might as well just overwrite those two quests.
However, she had no clues about the red coral reef and would have to ask other players if they had any.
Meng Qingyin switched the chat to the sea area channel.
This channel is for players in the Qingyang Sea area. If someone has a clue, she can rush over there.
If it were another channel, she might not be able to get there in time.
Mengmeng (Hanafuku District 30): "Has anyone seen a red coral reef?"
Strawberry Sour (Hanafuku 1209): "I'm also looking for the Red Coral Reef. Are you doing the Lost Jellyfish quest too?"
Liu Heman (Korean Server 23): "I have a red coral reef here, [location], come over."
Strawberry Sour It Makes Your Teeth Sour (Hanafuku 1209): "Really? Then I'll head over right now!"
Mengmeng (Hualu 30 District): "Send me a picture of a red coral reef."
Liu Heman (Korean Server 23): "What do you mean? Don't you trust me? You Chinese are so petty! I tried to help you out of kindness, and you doubted me! I will never help any Chinese person again!"
Mengmeng (Hanfu District 30): "Look at you, why are you so agitated? Are you feeling guilty? @StrawberrySourTooth, don't go, this person is trying to trick you into going, otherwise he wouldn't have been unable to even post a single photo."
Liu Heman (Korean Server 23): "Hehe, you Chinese people are too filthy! I can't be bothered to argue with you."
White Cat Can Be Cute (Hyperfume 999): "If you really encounter a red coral reef, why don't you post a picture and show it to everyone?"
Sesame Dumplings Without Exposing the Filling (Chinese Clothing 646): "Mengmeng didn't say anything, so why are you breaking through my defenses? You even turned around and accused us Chinese of being despicable. How dare you say that!"
Empty Blank (Hanafu 44): "If you're so capable, stay there and don't leave. See if I don't eat you and you're finished."
Liu Heman didn't say another word after that.
Meng Qingyin sighed; it seemed there were no clues to be found in the chat channel.
I'll have to rely on myself.
It's strange, just how big is this sea area?
So far, apart from Bill, she hasn't encountered a single other player.
Suddenly, she received a private message.
Kawano (Japan Server 12): "Are you looking for the Red Coral Reef? I have some here."
Before Meng Qingyin could send a message, he proactively sent her a photo.
There is indeed a large red coral reef in the photo.
Mengmeng: "What are your requirements?"
Kawano (Sakura uniform, District 12): "Requests? No, no, no, I have no requests. I really like China, and I'm willing to help every Chinese person. All Chinese people are my friends. [Location] Come here. To avoid trouble, I'll be leaving soon."
Kawano's words sound nice.
Are you willing to help every Chinese person?
If she were new to the game, she might have believed it.
But now...
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.
But this person from Japan is clearly smarter than the previous one; he knows how to use language to present himself effectively.
However, no matter how well the sweet talk is packaged, it cannot conceal the true intentions.
Another person trying to lure her away and take advantage of her.
Mengmeng (Hanafu 30): "Could you send me a photo of you with the coral reef? I want to confirm that there really is a red coral reef where you are."
Kawano (Sakura uniform, 12th ward): "Of course, my Chinese friend. [Photo]"
Meng Qingyin clicked on the photo.
The man in the photo is taking a selfie, his smile looking friendly and kind, against a backdrop of a large red coral reef.
At the same time, Meng Qingyin also saw his identity information.
Lanternfish.
Kawano, like her, is a lanternfish.
That makes things easier.
Fish of the same level can eat each other; the player who touches the other first can eat it.
In this way, Kawano can simply hide in the shadows and catch her off guard when he arrives.
And the best hiding place...
That's the red coral reef!
Meng Qingyin made a decision immediately and swam towards Kawano's location with the three jellyfish.
If others see her as prey, she can't just sit and wait to die; taking the initiative is the only solution.
After swimming for about twenty minutes, Meng Qingyin saw the red coral reef in the distance.
Meng Qingyin did not swim forward. She dived down to a depth of about ten meters to make sure she was below the coral reef before swimming forward.
Kawano was hiding in the coral reef, so the area below was his blind spot.
She slowly approached from below, unseen by the other person.
But she can see the other person.
Meng Qingyin slowly approached the red coral reef. This coral reef was very large, and it was difficult to be discovered if someone hid in it.
She searched carefully for Kawano's figure.
Just then, the lost dark blue jellyfish suddenly swam upwards excitedly, found a gap in the coral reef, and burrowed inside.
The next moment, it was pushed out by a hand pressing down on the canopy.
The dark blue jellyfish resisted with all its might, its tentacles flailing wildly, but it quickly gave in and was forcibly pushed off the coral reef.
It was a little confused, not understanding why it had a home but couldn't go back.
Meng Qingyin's eyes lit up, and she quickly approached the coral reef. To the astonishment of the other person, she patted their arm first.
The next moment, Kawano vanished from his spot.
You ate the lanternfish and gained 100 energy points!
I gained 100 energy points in one go!
This is equivalent to 10 bags of fish feed!
It seems we still need to eat other types of fish.
As Meng Qingyin was thinking, she saw two dark blue jellyfish emerge from the coral reef where Chuanye had been hiding. They were much larger than the lost jellyfish.
Could they be the parents of the lost jellyfish?
