Chapter 116 Casual Chats in the Area
After finishing all the crab meat soup, Li Sijing's appetite for the day had completely exceeded her limit, and she couldn't eat anything else.
As for the crispy rice porridge in the pot, she can't eat it now, and throwing it away is out of the question.
Use the container you used to hold the rice water to hold it. If you can eat it before bed, eat it warm before bed.
If you haven't fully digested what you ate before bed, it's a good idea to save it for breakfast the next day.
Then, Li Sijing started tidying up, which also helped her digest her food and prevent her stomach from feeling too full.
The two buckets of water that had been brought over earlier had been used up, so Li Sijing went to the water's edge to fetch more.
Just as she filled the two buckets, the giant black fish swam over, but Li Sijing had no time to pay attention to it.
Take out the rag you got earlier, wash all the pots, pans and dishes you used with water, and put them in the car.
They also pushed the portable stove onto the vehicle, folded up the parasol, and added miscellaneous items such as folding tables and chairs.
As for the clothes rack, Li Sijing touched it and found that the bath towel was only a little damp, but after being dried for so long, it was completely dry, so she put it away.
As for the clean clothes, although they were dried by the cold wind, they were still a little damp because of the short time.
The ropes hanging there are still very damp because they are quite thick and completely soaked.
Fortunately, the clothesline was umbrella-shaped and didn't take up too much space, so Li Sijing simply took the open clothes rack and put it in the car.
Slightly extend the clothes rack and place it in the back aisle so that the clothes and rope can continue to hang.
After putting everything away, Li Sijing used the remaining water in the bucket to wash herself.
After everything was done, I carried the remaining bucket of water back to the car. By the time I closed the car door, there were only two minutes left before dark.
Having eaten and drunk my fill, I've done everything I could.
Now that she finally had some free time, Li Sijing had a chance to recount the twenty-minute-long battle she had with the giant blackfish underwater.
This test went much better than she had expected.
At first, the two were evenly matched, but later she gradually gained the upper hand.
Of course, if this continues, she will probably be at a disadvantage due to her declining physical strength.
The most important reason for achieving this favorable situation, besides underwater breathing skills, was the decisive role played by combat awareness.
Even so, Li Sijing knew very well that she had no way to deal with this giant black fish in the short term.
Her biggest problem was the rope tied around her waist, which both protected her and restricted her.
I wonder what kind of fish will be the large beast tomorrow. It would be great if it were a docile species.
Of course, if she still can't defeat the large beast tomorrow, she won't be discouraged, but will continue to try.
She can try it every day, just as a way to exercise and hone her skills. She thinks she will gain something before this natural disaster ends.
After reviewing the gains and losses of this battle and planning the strategy for dealing with this natural disaster, Li Sijing looked up and realized that it had already gotten dark.
So, I quickly clicked on the sunshade and turned on the interior lights, and the car was bright again.
Rubbing her hands together, Li Sijing felt that as it got darker, the surrounding chill intensified, and she even felt a bit cold sitting in the carriage.
The fire in the portable oven had completely gone out, and Li Sijing was too lazy to bother with it anymore.
I unfolded the folding bed, spread out the blankets, took off my clothes, lay down in bed, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Lying on the folding bed, Li Sijing turned on the blue screen and first opened the trading area to check the items she had listed.
After several hours, quite a few transactions had been completed, as it got quite cold after dark, but she was still a little short of her goal.
She had to wait to create the mustard seed space, so she opened the regional channel, where a lively discussion was indeed taking place.
"It's so cold. It feels like the weather gets even colder as soon as it gets dark."
"Seriously, in this weather, without a blanket, you'd freeze to death in the middle of the night!"
"Ugh, the water is so cold, I don't even want to drink it."
"Hey, I always use the rice cooker to heat up the water before drinking it."
"I'd like to, but I'd be too wasteful of gasoline. Oh well, I'd better not be so extravagant."
"Sigh, at this moment, I suddenly miss the last natural disaster."
"I think I'll pass. Thinking back to the last world, I was dehydrated from the heat. I still think it's better to be a little colder."
"By the way, are any big shots going to hunt large wild animals today?"
"No way! In this cold weather, to go into the water and fight with such a big fish, just thinking about it terrifies me."
"Probably. With so many people in the area, there must be some powerful figures who want to give it a try."
"I think even if someone in the area tries, probably no one will succeed!"
"I agree. After all, no big shot has come out to sell fish so far, so there must be no profit."
"Hey, I really want to try it. Such a big fish, how does it taste? Will it be too tough to chew?"
"There are so many powerful figures in this area. I think someone must have already successfully killed the fish, but they just can't get such a big fish ashore."
“I agree. Killing fish shouldn’t be too difficult for the experts. The hardest part is how to harvest the prey after killing it.”
"Damn, I hadn't thought about this before. Now that you guys are talking about it, isn't killing large beasts in this world a huge loss?"
"Indeed, it takes a lot of effort to kill them, but in the end we get nothing. It's such a loss."
"It's not like we won't get anything at all; at least we can still get points on the power ranking."
"Well, it's still a loss, okay? A fish that big, how much meat would it get? How many basic materials could you exchange for that?"
"Sigh, the leaderboard won't open until the sixth day, so there's no way to check it now. I wonder what the situation is like for the big shots."
...
Upon seeing this, Li Sijing fell into deep thought.
Although she doesn't yet have a way to kill large aquatic beasts, she has still thought about acquiring prey after killing them.
At first, she was also at a loss.
After all, each of the giant fish in the water is three or four meters long and weighs at least 500 kilograms.
Even with buoyancy in the water, she alone wouldn't be able to get the prey ashore.
As for decomposing in water, that's even more impossible.
The water alone, with its bottomless depths, was beyond her ability to withstand the water pressure; forget about anything else.
However, all these problems were solved after she obtained the fire safety rope.
If she can actually kill the giant fish later, she is confident that she will not let her prey sink into the water.
There are plenty of smart people in the area, and I imagine that others will come up with the same idea sooner or later. It's just a matter of who acts the fastest.
While pondering her own thoughts, Li Sijing watched the rapidly scrolling messages in the chat room.
Suddenly, her relaxed posture froze. She didn't know what news she had seen, but she was so shocked that she sat up in bed.
