"Okay, then you guys go and move your rafts to this area. Brother Duan, you take them back," Lin Hu instructed the three of them.
"OK."
"good."
After the three left, Lin Hu dripped a drop of the medicine he had obtained that day onto each plank of the raft.
There were many octopuses around, but after the raft was tainted with the smell of the medicine, the octopuses seemed to lose interest and sank into the sea one after another.
Lin Hu disagreed. He saw someone in the chat area saying they wanted to make takoyaki, and he got interested too. He also wanted to collect the number of bubbles needed for intermediate oxygen beads.
"Xiao Wei, grab them and throw them ashore," Lin Hu quickly reminded Qiangwei by the raft.
Rose didn't realize she was being called at first, but she reacted after glancing at Lin Hu.
Countless vines stretched into the sea, tossing one octopus after another onto the shore with a splash, right at the foot of Linhu Lake.
Without seawater, the octopus crashed onto the sandy shore, covered in sand, and poisoned by the roses, moving slowly.
Lin Hu took out his Tang sword and slashed at each of the roses that were thrown at him, almost like playing a fruit-cutting game.
Rose also moved in sync with Lin Hu's speed, throwing all of them at once, almost at the speed he could reach.
[Ding! Congratulations to the player for obtaining 8 edible octopus tentacles, 1 level 2 crystal core, 1 bubble, 1 black ink bead, experience points...]
[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have obtained 8 edible octopus tentacles and 1 level 1 crystal core...]
[Ding! Congratulations...]
【bite……】
...
[Ding! Congratulations to the player for successfully killing a total of 50 mutated octopuses. Rewards include 10 thumb-sized octopuses to raise, experience points, etc.]
After killing countless creatures in Linhu, the system gave a notification.
A thumb-sized octopus?!
Isn't this the perfect baby octopus for making takoyaki?
"1097, can marine life be raised in the Spirit Spring?" Lin Hu remembered that the Spirit Spring was freshwater, but it was a Spirit Spring, so he asked 1097 for an answer.
[1097: Sure, the Spirit Spring can simulate any water quality.]
Lin Hu was overjoyed and planned to kill the octopus a little longer before putting the thumb-sized octopus into the secluded countryside later.
When Duan Linzhou returned, he saw a dark figure wielding a Tang sword, catching the octopuses that Qiangwei threw at him.
Some octopuses sprayed ink onto Lin Hu while they were in the air, while others sprayed ink from their large heads when Lin Hu chopped them down.
"How did you become Conan's murderer?" Duan Linzhou's lips curled up as he couldn't help but remind him.
Lin Hu turned around upon hearing the sound and saw Duan Linzhou. He then tossed the Tang sword to Duan Linzhou.
"Come back when you've killed 50 of them." Lin Hu said in a light tone, sounding somewhat tired. After saying that, he went back to the raft to take a bath.
Duan Linzhou obediently did as he was told, and killed 50 animals before returning. Lin Hu was already soaking in the hot spring pool.
Duan Linzhou didn't go over. He went upstairs to his room, took a shower, and then went downstairs to make something to eat.
After showering, Lin Hu put on a bathrobe and, following the scent, walked through the living room to the kitchen to find Duan Linzhou.
He walked behind Duan Linzhou, reached out and hugged the other's waist, resting his forehead against the other's broad and sturdy back.
"Brother Duan, I'm so tired," Lin Hu said listlessly.
"Then go lie down on the sofa, I'll make it and bring it over to you." Duan Linzhou raised one hand to his waist and said softly.
"Hmm." Lin Hu responded and went straight to the secluded pastoral garden. He remembered the watermelons he had planted before. They hadn't been brought up yesterday, but they were ripe. With the mutated watermelon seedling, they could be harvested together today.
After arriving on Linhu Island, we first set up a pond in Lingquan to raise thumb-sized octopuses before going to the watermelon patch.
From afar, you can see watermelons that are bigger than basketballs, and some of them are exceptionally large, almost as big as a Qilin, though not as long.
Lin Hu was calculating in his mind, planning how much to price these watermelons. After all, apart from the mutated watermelon vine that could regenerate, the other watermelon vines were all disposable; once they matured, they could only be pulled up.
Of course, he wouldn't waste the watermelon vines either; with so many cattle, sheep, and pigs on the island, he could chop them up and use them as feed.
After harvesting more than 100 watermelons, he bought 100 watermelon seedlings and planted them.
He collected some chicken and duck eggs and returned to the raft together. He then took a watermelon to cut.
As soon as I stepped into the kitchen, I saw Duan Linzhou cutting a watermelon.
watermelon?!
Where did he get the watermelon?
"Where did you get this watermelon?" Lin Hu leaned closer and asked Duan Linzhou curiously.
"This is the reward I got from killing the octopus." Duan Linzhou put down the knife, held the cut open with both hands, and pried it open to reveal the bright red flesh inside, along with the black watermelon seeds.
Lin Hu looked at the watermelon seeds and thought that the watermelons on his island didn't count towards the upgrade requirements, but the ones rewarded by the system should. Moreover, with these watermelon seeds, they could be reproduced indefinitely, so he wouldn't need to buy seeds from the store anymore.
After all, it costs 5 level 3 crystal cores to buy one plant in the mall, and each plant only grows one or two. If converted to level 1 crystal cores, it would take more than 35 level 1 crystal cores to break even.
Level 1 crystal cores are now considered equivalent to one dollar by most players. It's unlikely anyone would spend 35 crystal cores to buy a watermelon.
If this continues, he won't be able to sell his watermelons, and he'll only be able to earn the crystal cores from the extreme heat disaster that lasts for about ten days.
"Cut this one too." Lin Hu took a seedless watermelon he had grown and gave it to Duan Linzhou to cut. He then reached out and took the half of the watermelon that Duan Linzhou had cut and picked out a few watermelon seeds.
"Is this also a reward you got for killing the octopus?" Duan Linzhou looked at the watermelon, which was about the same size as the one he had just cut, and assumed that Lin Hu's reward was also a cumulative kill reward.
"No, I found it in a seed shop when I arrived on the island in the extreme cold," Lin Hu said calmly, without any discomfort in lying.
Duan Linzhou didn't doubt the truth of his words, but he could tell that Lin Hu must have also received a kill reward.
"What did you get as a reward for killing it?" Duan Linzhou asked, carrying a watermelon to the sink to wash its rind.
"I'm going to raise the thumb-sized octopus on the island," Lin Hu said, having already collected more than a dozen watermelon seeds, ready to plant them on the island.
"I'll go upstairs first. You juice half of that watermelon and slice the other half into a plate," Lin Hu instructed before leaving.
Duan Linzhou cut open the watermelon and discovered that it was a seedless watermelon, truly the perfect dream watermelon.
As Lin Hu suggested, he juiced half of the watermelon and cut the other half into pieces and plated it. He then glanced at the watermelon he had received and realized that it paled in comparison.
He still has 19 left in his backpack. Should he put them all up for sale on the trading market?
