Chapter 213: The Third Day of Survival at Sea (2) I Caught a Fish...
Yu Miaomiao has two Crystal Palace cards with different numbers. The Crystal Palace is also recognized by all survivors on the server as a place that is not as difficult as Murloc Island.
If she were to go, the Crystal Palace would definitely be her first choice for adventure.
Now the advanced resource search function can be used once an hour. Should she consider making a quick trip to the Crystal Palace and then coming back, and then searching for nearby resources once an hour while driving forward? As long as she finds any, she can take Xiaoguai with her.
Since it was not safe near Huabie now, with many members of the Tiandihui there, she went to another place first, opened a golden treasure chest, and searched along the way.
After making the decision, she comforted Xiaoguai a few times before letting the angry little kitten finish eating the remaining clam meat.
The moment Xiaoguai bit the clam meat clean, the sea urchin-like shell disappeared along with it, leaving her no chance to decompose.
Xiaoguai was full and taking a nap. Yu Miaomiao walked to the floating board, confirmed that it was sleeping soundly, and immediately used the first Crystal Palace Adventure Card. As soon as her feet stepped on a place covered with corals, she quickly clicked to teleport back.
The whole process took less than a minute, but even so, it was discovered by the sensitive and suspicious Xiaoguai. It half jumped up, pounced forward with its paws, and saw Yu Miaomiao pushing the door in.
Seeing the sofa being pushed over again and the half-eaten barbecue in the bowl, Yu Miaomiao knew that it must be anxious again.
She specially left a piece of hot barbecued meat in Xiaoguai's bowl. Although it was fast asleep, when it woke up and saw the meat, it would think of eating it the first time. Unexpectedly, after taking two bites, it found that Yu Miaomiao was not there, and started looking for her again.
Compared to Xiaoguai's emotions and impulsiveness, it seems that wasting an adventure card is nothing. No one said that you can make much progress on your first trip.
Didi
"Yiren Tiafantian: I originally wanted to invite you to live with me on our server, but after seeing what you said, I think if we are almost together, I may need to go to your internal test server."
Before meeting Yue Yina, Yu Miaomiao wrote a note, covered it with her body, and secretly handed it to her. To be precise, it was a piece of cloth. After all, if they met in the water, the note would probably get wet and the words would not be visible.
The strips of cloth recorded some of the information she learned from Iris and the things she encountered.
The two of them didn't communicate much, so they shouldn't attract the attention of any monitor.
"Meow Meow: Okay, then what about your gang?"
Yu Miaomiao stroked Xiaoguai with one hand and touched the screen with the other hand to reply to messages.
"Yiren Tiafantian: I call myself the gang leader, but in reality, many decisions are made by everyone voting together. Although I have a veto, I rarely use it. We are all part of the gang working towards the same goal, so even if I leave, everyone will support each other and continue to develop."
So that's how it is. Nana's original intention in forming a gang was not to make a profit for herself, spread her reputation, or use it for food, drink and pleasure, but to gather together all the survivors who wanted to survive in the apocalypse, or even wanted to go back, to unleash the power of the masses.
Yu Miaomiao always relies on her own strength and seems to always be bullied. There is not even an extra person to help look after Xiaoguai.
At this moment, she thought of sending a message to Chenchen.
"Meow Meow isn't short of water: I'm going to drive about 10 kilometers west and then return to the 5-kilometer mark northwest. If your engine's durability isn't enough, you can just wait for me there."
For every hour of travel, the ship's engine and propeller will consume 1 point of durability. To replenish the engine's durability, you need to use bone meal and resin, and to replenish the propeller's durability, you need feathers and resin. Monsters currently produce these things, so only by actively fighting can you get more supplies.
In the past two days, she and Chenchen divided the monster resources roughly according to their output.
Yu Miaomiao didn't know the other party's inventory situation. Although she was now gradually inclined to survive with people she trusted, the other party didn't have enough materials, and she couldn't drag people around just to accompany her to open treasure chests.
"Chenchen: That should be enough. There's a friend in our Meow Meow group over there. Can I follow Meow God with her?"
"Chenchen: Of course it must be a safe distance!"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: OK."
Yu Miaomiao felt that fate had brought together those who had left comments under her strategy posts and had been helped by her posts.
The waves in the "breeze" were still as strong as ever, and the ship's progress was not so smooth. For every 10 meters it advanced, it was pushed back 5 meters by the waves. The journey that was supposed to take 2 hours took more than 4 hours, and she did not reach her destination before the card-drawing sound came at noon.
【System prompt: Please draw your gift pack card】
Today, there were still three cards with ocean patterns painted on them, and vines were still embedded on them. This time, she counted them deliberately. The number of vines was different from when she was surviving in the desert.
When surviving in the desert, there were 9 vines drawn on it. Today's and yesterday's cards both have 7 vines drawn on them. Because they are covered by the deep blue lines of the ocean, the presentation of the vine is blurred.
She silently wrote down the number in case it might be needed someday.
The glow on the first card on the left was a bit brighter than yesterday, but the description was just as plain, "Senior Living Resource Card."
The one in the middle is a little special because it is a card inlaid with seven-colored gems and has the words "Gem Resource Card" written on it.
She had encountered this card before, but it was a passive choice.
The one on the far right is an "Advanced Food Resource Card".
It feels like good stuff.
How good can life-related things be?
Improve the quality of life?
She thinks everything is fine now.
What will the food resources be like? Will they be delicious or have therapeutic effects?
She really wanted some functional food, especially something like instant fried rice. The construction hammer was too inefficient.
But the temptation of gems is also very great.
It was because she got this gem by chance that she was able to take a step ahead and unlock the items in the item synthesis guide faster than Chen Qiang and Yang Haotian. At this stage, there are indeed no more gem-related items, but every item that has appeared in the system will be useful, but the time when it is useful is not certain.
Even the simple raft she had received from Lulu over 30 days ago, which wasn't needed until this late in the game, was still a useful piece of craftsmanship.
Yu Miaomiao has no shortage of supplies now. Although she is still the first in the internal test server competition, if she competes with Yang Haotian in the future, the factor that she will never be able to surpass even if she gathers all the resources of the entire union may be this extremely special resource.
She needs to seize the special opportunity at a certain moment to surpass them again.
After selecting the gem card, she went to check today's card drawing rewards.
[System Notice: Gem Resource Card Reward Calculation Begins]
[Failed to trigger the lucky trait, white gems*10, yellow gems*10, purple gems*4, black gems*4, red gems*1, gold gems*1. ]
Although luck was not triggered, at least there was a golden gem, which was not bad.
Yu Miaomiao remembered what Iris said.
Once this doomsday system is activated, it cannot be stopped or manipulated behind the scenes. So why is her chance of triggering the lucky trigger getting lower and lower?
No one can change her lucky triggering situation behind the scenes, it is written by the system.
It is obvious that in the early days when she did not have many supplies, there were more cases where luck was triggered. Why is it that it has become less common now?
Is it because she has too many things, so the trigger will automatically become lower, or is it because of some other reason?
If it was because of supplies, she could just give all the supplies to Nana first, and then try to trigger more luck when handicrafts, but Nana is still in the exploration area, so she won't bother her for now.
Lulu is still negotiating with the Tiandihui, so there is no rush to test it.
While the ship was sailing, she was not idle either. She continued to make folding mirrors and sold them to Chenchen at a commission of 30 refined iron ingots each.
What’s amazing is that although Chenchen doesn’t have the mining specialty, he has the refining specialty. Although the refining specialty doesn’t make mining as fast, it is also easy to find iron ore when passing by a place.
For example, now.
"Chenchen: Meow God, can you wait for me for a moment? I found an iron ore mine and I want to dig some with the drill."
Iron block?
Yu Miaomiao had just searched using the resource search function. Apart from a few small fishy seaweeds nearby, she didn't even have the water resources that she had always been good at discovering. How could there be a mine?
"Meow Meow: Okay, but the waves are a bit big now, please be careful."
It would take another 40 minutes before she could use the resource search function again. She even suspected that although this function had been upgraded to an advanced level, it was actually even less useful.
"Chenchen: Hmm, this drilling machine is quite smart. I asked Api to make it for me when I was in the desert world. I didn't expect her to..."
"Chenchen: I'm sorry. I know you had a good relationship, and you must be feeling very sad now that she's gone. We don't know how she died, and I've asked many people, but they all say they don't know. I suspect it was Ziren who caused her death, but I shouldn't bring up the matter of A-Pi at this time."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: She accidentally fell into the lava and disappeared when we went to play pranks in the cave. At that time, I couldn't open the system and couldn't use the return card, so I was finally swallowed up by the demon of the system."
She still couldn't accept the word "death".
"Chenchen: Ah... That's actually the case. Why can't I open the system? I thought the system backpack was omnipotent and never thought it wouldn't work. This broken system will definitely do something bad to us at some point in the future. This is so abominable. What a rubbish apocalypse."
"Chenchen: Meow God, you must have been very desperate back then. The past is dark and cannot be retrieved, but the future is bright and glorious. We must be like in that TV show, finally defeating that most powerful being and striving to achieve freedom as soon as possible!"
"Meow Meow: Well, go ahead and dig. Tell me when you're done."
In fact, there is another problem. Iris said that there is a bad guy in the beta server who prevents all of them from collecting this card.
Who is this bad guy?
Has she met one?
If I meet...who is it?
And if they succeed in stopping it, won't the bad guy also stay in this apocalypse? Will the bad guy be willing to stay here forever?
Or does it mean that only if the apocalypse continues can that person survive?
Remember the last words she saw: "kill the black hand"
This bad guy is probably the mastermind.
Yu Miaomiao filtered through the minds of all the people who had appeared over and over again, and took out her fishing rod as she wanted to try what fishing was like.
Although the waves are not calm now, after she dropped the anchor, her float is floating firmly in place. There is a breeze today, and she doesn't know what the weather will be like in the future. She probably won't have the chance to use this fishing rod during a hurricane.
In the original world, Nana's father loved fishing. When Nana's mother was working overtime, she said she would take Yu Miaomiao and Yue Yina out to play, but in fact she went to a fish pond to fish.
Nana had no interest in this matter, so she hid in the car and took a nap. Instead, Yu Miaomiao learned a few fishing techniques.
But these techniques are limited to a private, stagnant fish pond.
She had never tried sea fishing.
There are two fishing rods in total, a 4.5-meter one and a mini one. She plans to practice with the mini one.
There are people in the world who do OEM for lure fishing rods. Not only is the OEM fee expensive, but lure fishing also requires certain skills to use, otherwise even casting the rod becomes a problem.
At that time, Nana's father told Yu Miaomiao that it was best not to try it easily without the guidance of professionals. It was very likely that the fishhook would hit you when you swung the rod. Many people ended up in the hospital because of novice casting.
Luya fishing rods are generally used to catch ferocious carnivorous fish. For example, they are mostly used to catch mandarin fish in reservoirs, and they are also mostly used for sea fishing.
The fishing one is the one in Yu Miaomiao's hand.
The mini fishing rod is really mini, it is less than one meter long and seems to be for children.
Although the fishing rod is small, it has everything you need, including a float, twin lines and hooks.
The position of the float was automatically calibrated by the system and did not require her to adjust it.
There was only one seaweed bait, but it had two hooks, and she planned to put a worm bait on one of the hooks.
When the earthworm was taken out, it was still moving.
That's not right. Doesn't the system forbid the entry of living things, such as living people, monsters, etc.? Why can living animals like earthworms be allowed to be entered?
Oh, plants are alive and can be put in, so it seems to make sense.
Every time she wrapped earthworms, she would feel disgusted and insisted on wearing gloves. However, she had already experienced countless bloody scenes here, so the little slime from the earthworms was nothing.
Use the tip of the fishhook to pierce the side of the earthworm's body, then wrap it around a small circle and pierce the side of the earthworm's tail end. The earthworm will be firmly hung on the fishhook.
Xiaoguai squatted and watched carefully. When the earthworm moved on the float at the beginning, he wanted to use his claws to fiddle with it, but Yu Miaomiao stopped him.
After the fish hook is in the water, it’s time to wait for the harvest.
Are there normal fish in the sea?
Or will it attract monsters?
Now everyone is busy fighting monsters, but no one talks about fishing, or no one has the leisure time like her.
Waves came one after another, but they couldn't blow away her boat and float.
Time passed second by second. At first, she was still staring at the movements of the seven floating eyes. But after a long time, the gloomy sky made her eyes tired.
She was about to open the holographic screen to see if anyone else mentioned any new information.
The float, which had not moved for a long time, sank one eye.
She didn't know if it was the influence of the ocean current, or if there were fish exploring below, or if it was the pull of the seaweed, but she needed to wait a little longer.
Put your mind at rest and focus on the float.
Xiaoguai, who was standing by, saw that the human was sitting there stupidly, holding a small stick in his hand, staring at the sea. He was very bored, so he simply walked back into the house and rested on the comfortable cotton mat.
The cushion was made and optimized by Yu Miaomiao. It is filled with cotton to make Xiaoguai lie more comfortably.
Yu Miaomiao glanced at Xiaoguai out of the corner of her eye. The float sank two more times, and then it turned black and disappeared from the sea surface. This meant there was a big fish. She immediately stood up and pulled it up.
The reaction force brought by the fishing rod was very large. Only then did she realize a problem. What if there was really a big thing below? Wouldn’t this mini fishing rod break?
She didn't dare to use all her strength, fearing that the short fishing rod would not be able to compete with the things in the water and would be gone after a few strokes. She was even more afraid that she would be dragged into the water by the things in the water.
Is it a monster?
It shouldn't be. If it were, Xiaoguai could feel it and would have come out of the house long ago. Now she has been pulling for almost a minute, and there is no movement in the house, which means that there is just an ordinary animal under the fishing rod.
Can there be ordinary animals in the end times?
The sea surface was still rolling with waves, and the entire sea surface was like being covered with a curtain, and it was impossible to see what was in the water. At this moment, she was holding the fishing rod with both hands, and had no hands left to pick up the biological sensor to see what it was.
Yu Miaomiao stood next to a pillar she had erected on the edge of the boat, and fought with the thing in the water for almost 10 minutes before she suddenly lifted it up when the other party lost some strength.
Pull this thing completely out of the horizontal plane.
After leaving the water, this thing completely lost its vitality and no longer competed with Yu Miaomiao's fishing rod.
It’s a blessing that the mini didn’t break, but what the hell is this little treasure chest she is pulling.
It turned out that she fished for a long time and only caught a treasure chest?
This treasure chest is long and flat in shape, with fish scales on it. There is also a pharyngeal teeth opening on one side of the box, just like a fish's mouth.
So the survivors have to fish in the sea survival world, and all they catch will be treasure fish?
She was just wondering, could there really be normal monsters in the apocalypse? It turned out to be this kind of thing.
When the treasure chest was pulled back onto the float, the treasure chest fish pretended to jump twice on the float, just like the movement of a fish after coming ashore.
Yu Miaomiao: ...
Looking at this treasure chest that was more than 30 centimeters long, she was thinking about one question: how to open it?
The pharyngeal tooth opening was very large and seemed to be struggling to breathe, just like a real fish.
Dismemberment knife.
When in doubt, break it down.
He took out the dismemberment knife, aimed it at the treasure chest fish, and soon a system voice came into his mind.
[Successfully triggered the Lucky trait. Decomposed to obtain Wolf Meat*2, Mucus*4, Bones*3, Hide*1, and Venom Gland*1. Stored in the system warehouse.]
So...the substitute for the three-headed wolf is this treasure chest fish?
After seeing these items enter the backpack, she looked at the mini fishing rod.
The grass bait on top is gone, but the earthworm is still twisting flexibly, indicating that this treasure chest fish eats grass.
Earthworms are a universal bait that all fish will eat. Many people use earthworms to catch more expensive fish, such as yellow duck and mandarin fish.
She wanted expensive fish, that is, better treasure chest fish, so she put another earthworm on another hook and cast the rod again.
This time she waited for a long time, and after browsing the world news for a long time, there was no new movement.
Could it be that this sea doesn’t produce expensive treasure chests?
At this time, her resource search function was ready, and she tried searching around.
Sure enough, a mineral-like resource point was found where Chenchen was, but she had clearly searched that area when she passed by and found nothing. Why did this mineral appear as soon as Chenchen arrived there?
As expected, when different people pass through different places, corresponding resources will appear.
On the search map, not only did the mineral point appear, but there were also two more points. One was the water resource point she was familiar with, and the other was a small dot with a fish drawn on it and the word "fishing spot" written on it.
Is it because she just went fishing and caught a treasure chest fish, so she searched for this fishing spot as well?
She recalled the earliest description of resource search, which was that different search results would be obtained based on the events and items the player had encountered. Catching a treasure chest fish was an event she had encountered.
She looked at the location of the fish, which was about 1 kilometer away from her, so she needed to drive back. After thinking about it, she decided to forget it. She could pass by the place by turning back, so she didn't want to go back and forth and waste the life of the thruster and engine.
Another water resource point was very close to her. She had never dug a well since she came to Sea World, and she didn't know if the drilling kit could be used here, so she decided to give it a try.
After driving to the dripping point, she took out the huge kit machine.
This kit has two chances of use left. If it cannot be used for survival at sea, even if it is tested now and cannot be used after it gets wet, there will not be a big loss.
After aligning the opening of the kit in the void with the designated point of the water droplet, the entire drilling kit began to stretch at the speed of light and plunged straight into the water. After 1 minute, a "bang" sound was heard. Did the drilling opening reach the bottom?
Turn the handle and it will float on the water. Yu Miaomiao stood by the boat and was about to turn the drilling handle when he heard a warning sound of "woooooha" behind him.
The voice was very familiar. It was Xiaoguai who sensed that a monster was approaching.
Yu Miaomiao stopped what he was doing, immediately switched to his gun and sword, and scanned the air with his biological sensor, but there were no monsters.
Is it underwater?
Scan with the sensor.
The screen reads "4 meters, Sawtooth Seahorse."
A sawtooth seahorse? What would it look like?
Soon the hull encountered the first violent collision, and Yu Miaomiao fell directly from a standing position.
After being knocked down and falling onto the float, she immediately stood up by holding on to the pillar.
This collision was even more violent than the clam shell yesterday. It looked like a powerful monster.
The waves were a bit big today, and she was not sure whether she could come out after going into the sea. She would first eat one of the pigweed to see how many there were and how big the monsters were, and then decide whether to take the risk or not.
Just as she took out the pigweed, her hand slipped due to the next impact.
After the pigweed landed on the float, it immediately stuck to the spot, stretched out a lantern ball grass, expanded to the size of two globes, and then dived into the water.
This seahorse is even bigger than the monster octopus I encountered on the first day...
