Chapter 262: Unusual Random Tasks Coming One After Another...
Day after day of fishing has made the player thoroughly familiar with the captain. After successfully borrowing a small fishing boat from the captain, the player installed a homemade accelerator on the boat and brought Uni to a small island he discovered.
"Okay, this is our destination. Be careful, Uni." The player held several hand-made equipment in one hand and Uni's hand in the other, and jumped off the boat very easily.
The player looked at his watch and began to calculate the time: "Let me see, it's six fifty now. It took us about twenty-five minutes to get here. If we want to be at grandma's house by eight o'clock..."
"Then we have to prepare to leave at 7:35." Uni replied, taking the suitcase given to her by Sister Aurora obediently.
"That's right, but it doesn't matter. Don't underestimate the fishing experts. Forty-five minutes is enough for us to catch what we want!" The player stepped on the small island, found a relatively stable foothold, set up the fishing tools on it, and prepared a trial version of the fishing tools for Uni.
"Why don't you try it too, Uni? This is a rare experience!" The player patted the small stool beside him and waved to the girl with long blue hair.
"Yeah!" Yuni nodded with a smile and sat down.
—Thirty minutes passed—
Players who gained nothing: "..."
Yuni, who got nothing, said: "..."
It is indeed a rare experience.
"Strange, this place was a fish nest when I came here last time. What happened today?" The player felt a little strange when he saw the plastic bucket with nothing but sea water.
To give Uni a great experience, players are now equipped with the "Fishing Expert" title, which increases their fishing hit rate by 20%!
"Maybe they settled down somewhere else?" Uni guessed.
"Not likely." The player shook his head and picked up the fishing rod. "Look, we have two fishing gear today. One is for thick fishing line, and the other is for thin fishing line. The hook is also very small. We are actually quite close to the coast right now, so the fish we mainly catch are not big - at least not tuna."
"There are many reefs nearby. The sea has been rough recently, and the waves crashing against the reefs have dropped a lot of seaweed, tiny shrimps, shellfish, and fish fragments. These are the favorite foods of many fish, especially black snapper."
"Before, I could always catch a few, or at least other fish would be caught, but now there are two of us combined and not a single one. It's really strange." The player said distressedly.
Yuni looked at the empty fishing bucket, then looked at the endless sea, his eyes dim, as if he could clearly see what was happening on the seabed through the water.
After a moment, she made a suggestion to the black-haired girl who was still doubting her fishing skills: "Sister Aurora, while there is still time, why don't we go to the fish market and have a look?"
"Maybe we're the only ones with bad luck?"
The player who really didn't want to admit that he was unlucky and would rather admit that he was unlucky: "...You're right, Uni, let's go to the fish market."
After the player and Uni drove away in the boat, the originally calm sea surface gradually became turbulent and surging, and the clear sea water was swallowed and filtered by the ink-colored object, making the already lifeless seabed even quieter.
…
…
The player and Uni arrived at the fishing market and began to inquire about each family's harvest today.
"It's Chiyo, you want to buy some fish? I'm so sorry, my friends and I didn't get any catch today." This was the first time the former fishing expert NPC went fishing with the player, but he was amazed by the player's fishing skills and became the player's fishing friend.
"Oh! So you're a big customer! What a pity, the recent harvests are getting worse day by day, and there are no high-end goods to sell to you!" This is the captain who just let the player borrow a small fishing boat.
"Ms. Chiyo, would you like to order something? I'm terribly sorry, but due to a lack of raw materials for our main product, we're temporarily closed today." This is a 'fish restaurant' that claims to only use fresh fish purchased that day to prepare meals. Now it seems that they really kill and sell fish on the spot, without deceiving consumers.
"Oh, it's Chiyo-chan. Buying fish? What a pity, I didn't get anything today." This is Nana's mother who got up early to buy ingredients.
"It's always like this..." The player and Uni looked at each other and felt that this matter was not simple.
Who has the ability to do such a thing? Could it be Bai Lan?
The players, unable to think of the culprit, subconsciously put the blame on Bai Lan.
【Random Task: Anxious Fisherman
Mission requirements: In recent days, the harvest of fishermen who make a living by fishing has gradually decreased. In order to prevent the hard-working fishermen from losing their jobs, players are requested to investigate the reasons for the large-scale reduction in fish on the seabed.
Mission Reward: New copy clue × 1, some experience, some money]
There will be random tasks that reward clues to new dungeons but have no time limit... Then players should go help the old lady pull radishes first. Players can skip class to do the fisherman's task when the time comes!
"Forget it, Uni, I can't think of anything right now. It's almost eight o'clock. Let's go help the old lady pick radishes first."
Uni nodded and followed the black-haired girl's pace.

Bingsheng Middle School——
"I don't know why, but today feels so peaceful." Tsunayoshi Sawada sighed after a boring math class.
Today, I didn't see Reborn all morning, nor did I see Rambo and Ippei who suddenly broke in, nor did I see Aurora's sudden activities.
Moreover, Mukudera-san was also very calm and self-possessed, giving people a very reliable feeling, although he always felt that Mukudera-san was a little strange today, and there was something subtly out of place...
No way, isn't this the kind of life he's always dreamed of? Could it be that he's already accustomed to that chaotic life?!
Sawada Tsunayoshi held his head and thought in horror.
"Well, maybe it's because Teacher Aurora is not in the classroom?" Yamamoto Takeshi, who habitually came over, and Gokudera Hayato, who was very calm today, stood on his left and right. After hearing Sawada Tsunayoshi's mumbling, he guessed.
"After all, Teacher Aurora just told me last time that a woman's dream is to conquer the sky and the sea!" Yamamoto Takeshi imitated the black-haired girl's actions, stretched out a finger, and shook it with a bright smile.
"That's what you say, but...Aurora really skipped class again, didn't she?" Sawada Tsunayoshi narrowed his eyes and complained subconsciously.
"By the way, Uni, do you know where Teacher Aurora went?" Yamamoto Takeshi looked at the girl with long blue hair who was listening to their conversation quietly.
Yuni nodded hesitantly.
"Huh? Uni knows?" Sawada Tsunayoshi asked in surprise.
"This morning, when I went fishing with Sister Aurora, we discovered that there was a problem with the number of fish near the coast, and the fishermen were very troubled by this."
Uni glanced at Hayato Gokudera, who was wearing plain glasses and listening intently. After a pause, he continued, "Sister Aurora must have gone to investigate this matter."
"Come to think of it, I think I've heard my dad complain about this before," Yamamoto Takeshi recalled. "For example, there's no tuna today."
"I see. Why did this happen? And..." Sawada Tsunayoshi scratched his messy hair. "I don't find it strange that Aurora went fishing so early in the morning. Why did you go too, Uni?"
"It was my strong request." Yuni rubbed the corner of his clothes embarrassedly, with a shy smile.
"I wonder if Aurora will encounter any danger. She can't swim." Tsunayoshi Sawada sounded worried.
"Don't worry, Tenth Generation." Hayato Gokudera pushed up his glasses and calmly analyzed, "Aurora is very powerful. If we just go to investigate, there won't be any danger."
"Oh..." Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded hesitantly.
What's going on? Is this an illusion? Why does it feel like there's something off about Mukudera-san today...
Just when Sawada Tsunayoshi was trying to find out, he heard Yuni's voice.
"Indeed, Aurora took it into consideration that she couldn't swim, so she brought a helper with her when she went there." Uni couldn't help laughing when she recalled the chaos after they finished pulling radishes and arrived at the school rooftop this morning.
"Oh, so you brought helpers. Who could it be?" Yamamoto Takeshi was a little curious, and Sawada Tsunayoshi's attention was also diverted.
"Well..."
…
…
"Sister Aurora! Don't drive so fast! The newly modified submarine can't handle it!"
Due to the lack of fish, the number of tourists and sea fishing enthusiasts has decreased rapidly, so such sounds were heard from the seemingly lonely sea.
Following the source of the sound, we found that a strangely shaped submarine suddenly appeared on the clear seabed and was moving forward at an astonishing speed.
"Stop making so much noise, Skarlu, I know what I'm doing." The player who was driving the submarine forward said impatiently, then quickly turned the steering wheel to avoid the coral reef in front of him.
However, this amazing operation made Skarlu in the corner tremble even more.
Skarlu: ...Why on earth would he give up the right to use the steering wheel just because of a few kind words from Sister Aurora!
Aurora's driving skills are terrible! I only knew her driving skills were crazy, but I didn't know her submarine skills were also crazy! Someone speak up for me! Speak up for me!
Skarlu suppressed the urge to vomit and shouted inwardly.
That’s right, Alcobaleno Skarlu of the Clouds is the helper that players are looking for to complete the fisherman’s mission.
There was no way, because Skarlu's body was so invincible that it seemed he could not die no matter what he did - the same went for Yan.
So, as soon as the players arrived at the school, they began to look for the helmeted boy who randomly appeared next to Hibari Kyoya.
Although he was accidentally captured by the Oni Committee Chairman of Namimori, he was forced to fight him!
"Be patient, Scarlu, we'll soon reach the place where I'm going to fish today." The player slowed down, giving the dizzy purple-haired child a chance to catch his breath.
"That's it, but..." the player muttered, looking at the black seabed that was clearly separated from the clear seabed, "This is very different from the sea I saw this morning...
