Duan Linzhou turned around, a smile playing on his lips.
Lin Hu said a little embarrassedly, "Brother Duan got up quite early."
"It's almost nine o'clock, it's getting late," Duan Linzhou said with a smile, glancing at the time.
He usually gets up at eight o'clock, while Lin Hu might get up at eleven or twelve.
Lin Hu chuckled twice, stepped closer, and asked, "What have you been doing?"
"My mom gave me a few eggs, so I thought I'd make some congee with preserved egg and lean pork," Duan Linzhou said, opening the pot lid to show Lin Hu.
The aroma of preserved egg and lean pork congee wafted through the air along with the rising steam; Lin Hu hadn't had it in a long time.
"Adding some lard and minced ginger will make it even more fragrant," Lin Hu suggested.
"Okay, I'll give it a try," Duan Linzhou said, and started washing the ginger.
Lin Hu also went to the living room to feed Boss Zhou dog food. Boss Zhou heard the sound of the dog food hitting the porcelain bowl and came running over happily.
Maybe because they ate dog food once before and found it new, they don't want the bones anymore.
Lin Hu gave him another bowl to hold the milk. Looking at Boss Zhou's small body, which was huffing and puffing as he ate, Lin Hu thought that he might have to wean him after a while.
Lin Hu leaned back on the sofa, brought up the chat interface to see if there was anything interesting, and he actually found something.
[Yang Fu: Holy crap, I woke up this morning to find my raft has shrunk?!]
[?: Several planks in the middle of my raft are missing.]
Cheng Lanwei: I thought only my raft was like this.
[Question: Does anyone know what's going on? This is making everyone anxious.]
[Question: I got up in the middle of the night and thought I saw a tentacle slide away from the side of my raft. I'm still not sure if I saw it wrong.]
[Zhu Fei: Brother, you didn't see wrong, I saw it too. After I threw a stone and hit that thing, my raft was attacked. It kept ramming my raft and won't leave yet, but it's not attacking anymore.]
[Zhao Jianguo: You all ran into them? How come I didn't?]
【? ? ?: Squidward, if you want to meet someone upstairs, go to his place, don't stay here.】
Looking at the chatter of the crowd, Lin Hu roughly understood that many people's rafts had been attacked by marine life last night.
He hurriedly went outside to check the condition of the raft. His raft was relatively large, so he walked around it in a straight line but did not see any gaps.
On the way back, I noticed that the 10x10 perfect plot of land I had bought earlier had a depression in the middle.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the depression had collapsed, revealing the seawater beneath the raft.
The rose vine quietly approached Lin Hu and poked his back with a branch.
Lin Hu turned to look at the rose vines, which were gesturing with the vines. He couldn't understand what they were doing, so he quickly went back inside to call Duan Linzhou over to translate.
Although Duan Linzhou still can't talk to it, he can understand what it's describing.
After being pulled outside by Lin Hu to see the description of the rose, Duan Linzhou explained to Lin Hu: "He said that something attacked the raft last night and tried to get on the raft, but it stopped him."
"Could this be caused by the extreme heat?" Lin Hu muttered to himself, while also wondering why there had been no warning during the maritime reconnaissance.
As I turned to check, 1097 started complaining on his microphone.
[1097: Host, I already said it's a surface probe, not an underwater probe.]
[Lin Hu: So this thing is exactly what it sounds like...]
[Ding! Mandatory quest triggered. Players must defeat the ocean mutated beast – the octopus!]
Octopuses are extremely destructive. Players need to go to Bamboo Fairy Island and ask the panda keeper for a potion that will make the mutated octopuses hate and resist. This potion can be poured on the raft to prevent the octopuses from destroying the raft.
Note: The raft will not be attacked while the player is on the island.
"Do you have a mission?" Lin Hu asked Duan Linzhou, who was standing next to him, after seeing that it was a mission sent by the survival system.
“Yes, they should be the same,” Duan Linzhou nodded and showed his light screen to the other person.
"Let's take a look." Lin Hu noticed a small arrow under the mandatory task, which looked like a navigation icon, so he clicked on it.
Sure enough, the next second, a route appeared on the survival system interface, and a prompt appeared asking whether to follow the route.
Lin Hu naturally chose to confirm, and once confirmed, the raft automatically drifted in the direction of the route.
When the raft suddenly moved away, Lin Hu realized that the sea was completely dark.
The octopuses were densely packed together, most of them looking as big as zorbing balls at a water park.
Lin Hu felt a chill run down his spine; his trypophobia was about to kick in. He hadn't had thalassophobia before, but now he felt like he was on the verge of developing it.
Who knows how many monsters are lurking beneath the sea!
The raft cannot be accelerated, otherwise it will be filled to the maximum speed.
Lin Hu opened the messages to see if anyone else had found it first, and then he used the summoning card to teleport directly.
Otherwise, at this distance and at this speed, when would we ever arrive?
[Sun Xiaoxiao: I just received a system task. The small island next to me has suddenly become shrouded in ethereal mist. It's amazing!]
Lin Hu opened the chat and saw that Sun Xiaoxiao had already spoken in the group.
[Sun Xiaoxiao: The system says this is Bamboo Fairy Island, I'll go up first, you guys hurry up.]
[Cheng Yuan: So, does this mean we can officially meet?!]
They had video chatted in the group before, but they had never met in person.
"Xiaoxiao has arrived at Bamboo Fairy Island, you go first." Lin Hu said, taking out the summoning card he had opened earlier, and used the arrow to cut Duan Linzhou's finger. Just as he was about to drip blood on it, Duan Linzhou snatched the card from Lin Hu's hand.
"I'll go first, but what about you?" Duan Linzhou asked, frowning. He knew that if they were to teleport, they could only teleport him.
If Lin Hu teleports away first, the raft will remain stationary. But what if the octopuses come up and leave first?
Lin Hu felt a warm feeling in his heart. After confirming his feelings, he always unconsciously looked at Duan Linzhou with a certain aura. Just like now, he was handsome!
"It's alright, I have plenty of bombs. Even if I can't throw that many, there's Rose." After Lin Hu finished speaking, he saw Rose stretch out countless vines and dance in the air.
He had originally planned to abandon the raft and escape if he couldn't win, but seeing Rose like this, he was a little reluctant to part with her.
"Stop talking nonsense. If we don't go now, there will be a lot of people later, and we'll all have to queue up for the potion." Lin Hu said, not caring whether Duan Linzhou was willing, and directly grabbed the bleeding hand and pressed it to the center of the card.
Send a private message to Sun Xiaoxiao, sending the card and a level 3 crystal core together.
[Lin Hu: Xiao Xiao, could you please teleport me here?]
[Sun Xiaoxiao: Okay, Brother Lin, I don't need the crystal cores. The breakfasts you put in my shop will be enough for me to make a lot of money.]
After Cheng Yuanliu and Zhang Hu, Lin Hu reached an agreement with Sun Xiaoxiao to sell breakfast. He would provide the goods and have them sold in her shop, with Lin Hu taking the lion's share.
