Chapter 86 12.21 Update
[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a yellow croaker!]
[Length: 13.34cm (small)]
Seeing Xinni knocking the small yellow croaker unconscious with one claw, and then wagging its tail leisurely without showing any intention of eating, Yu Zhu knew that this was probably a midnight snack left for Meihua.
The night was as dark as ink tonight, and the temperature was enough to freeze people into popsicles. Meihua only accompanied Yu Zhu on a tour of the raft before running back to the cabin in shame.
Meihua came to the raft earlier than Xinni and spent more time with the other little ones. They spent more time together, while Xinni was more attached to Yuzhu, but she also developed a friendship with Meihua.
Yu Zhu felt that Meihua was quite good at holding water. He accompanied her fishing one day and chatted with the little guy the next day. He learned most of her skills as a master of holding water, which could be considered a kind of inheritance.
After more than two hours, a total of 6 fish were caught, 3 of which were medium and 3 were small, achieving a certain balance. If it were other anglers, they would probably have become impatient after catching three palm-sized small fish in a row, but Yu Zhu remained calm and was still interested in feeding Xinni.
Fishing is never a hasty thing, it all depends on fate. She always has a premonition that something good is about to come out, just like playing a card drawing game, where she has to put some cards in before the guaranteed bottom line.
Sure enough, the 7th one was the winner.
[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a salmon!]
【Length: 52.14cm (Medium)】
【Breakdown: 1300g fish meat】
No matter how stubborn the salmon is, it can only be led by the fishing line.
Considering the size of this fish, even a medium-sized fish is heavier than some big fish (cutlass fish), and is no less than a big fish.
Taking advantage of the high explosion rate, the eighth fish took the bait. From the tightness of the fishing line, she knew that the big catch she was waiting for had arrived.
Yu Zhu held the fishing rod firmly in his palm. The fish that had just taken the bait and was about to turn around and swim back seemed to have its throat hooked by fate. It gathered all its strength and swam hard for a long time, but did not move forward at all.
But the person holding the fishing rod remained calm, and it was obvious that she was also a stubborn person. She fought with the fish for more than ten minutes. The increase in endurance made Yu Zhu more and more comfortable in the protracted battle. She even held the fishing rod with one hand in the end, and used the other hand to serve soup to the customers. She was really fishing and selling soup at the same time.
When the fish lost its strength, Yu Zhu pulled it onto the raft like a dead fish.
[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a salmon!]
【Length: 1.3m (large)】
【Breakdown: 5000g salmon meat】
The game was becoming more and more considerate, and it had already broken down the salmon into pieces without her special instructions. She was in for another treat.
Xinni couldn't sit still when she saw such a huge salmon. Her eyes widened and she didn't look away until the salmon disappeared (was decomposed). She licked her lips.
Although it was a little greedy, it was also very well-behaved. It did not ask Yu Zhu for anything, but just waited obediently. Considering how favored it was, it must have a share of the big fish!
After another fishing rod was cast, Yu Zhu saw a big pancake appear on the sea surface.
To be precise, it is more like graphite, round and flat, white overall, and emitting a faint light.
Then, the pancake floated straight towards the bait and was hooked without a doubt.
When Yu Zhu fished out the pancake, his suspicions were confirmed. It was a sunfish, also known as a moonfish. It liked to lie on its side on the sea surface, and at night, various parts of its body would glow. It was a large oceanic fish and the most prolific spawner in the world. It was clumsy and poor swimmer, often eaten by other fish and sea beasts, but its strong reproductive capacity meant it wasn't extinct.
When Xinni first saw the shape of the fish, she was reminded of the carpet in the house, which was also white and big.
Before it decomposed, Xinni stepped on it with her claws and almost got scratched. It was not only not soft, but also icy, cold and slippery. She immediately lost all interest and lay back down wisely, which made Yu Zhu laugh.
She touched Xinni's head, and Xinni snuggled in her arms and acted coquettishly, complaining about the sunfish that almost caused her to capsize. Yu Zhu was also very doting and raised her hand to cut the fish into pieces.
[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a sunfish!]*
【Length: 70.23cm (medium)】
【Decomposition: 2000g fish meat】
In the blink of an eye, there was only one fishing spot left. It was 11 o'clock in the evening. Yu Zhu put down her last rod. She could hardly sit still because the weather was too cold.
If it weren't for the pot + furnace + bonfire + simple shed surrounding her, plus the bear vest that constantly emitted heat, she would have collapsed long ago. And this wasn't the coldest time. It's really hard to imagine how the players who didn't buy a house managed to survive. They are all tough guys.
Fortunately, the fish was smart and took the bait soon.
With the help of the light from the flashlight, Yu Zhu saw it spitting out large amounts of black ink. Various images of frying flashed through his mind. It was another delicious fish.
[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a squid!]
【Length: 28.36cm (Medium)】
【Breakdown: 500g squid meat】
Before disassembling, Yu Zhu couldn't help but remind him, "Leave a few more legs."
The distinguished VIP users have spoken, so how dare the game disobey? It has now been guided and no longer has any trace of corruption. It is becoming more and more upright. There is no game in the entire industry that is more upright than it.
It took more than 4 hours of fishing in total, and I caught 1 big, 6 medium, and 3 small fish, including 2 new species. Since the last title upgrade, the probability of catching small fish has indeed been reduced a lot.
Total harvest: 9250g fish
After the pleasant fishing time, Yu Zhu also announced that he was closing the stall. However, the players were quick-witted and only one day later, they found another group.
The market is so big that Yu Zhu didn't think about monopolizing it. Since her pricing was ahead, her competitors didn't use price cuts to attract sales.
A stable situation is the best scenario. Disrupting the market will only make profits lower and lower. The most important thing is that they don't want to offend Yu Zhu for this matter, so they all sell soup at Yu Zhu's price. Yu Zhu has become the weather vane of the 4366th server.
She also looked around her fellow stalls with great interest and found that some were selling porridge.
Qian Caiyue: Fresh, hot black rice porridge (pictured). Just 400g of water per bowl provides 10% cold resistance and is nutritious and healthy!
Yu Zhu hadn't had porridge for a long time. When she clicked on the picture and saw the sticky and steaming black rice porridge, she was really tempted and placed an order.
When Qian Caiyue first saw Yu Zhu's private message, she thought she had seen it wrong. It was not until she sold a bowl of porridge that she came to her senses.
Back when they first started using the grill to help with grilling, there were still 10,000 people on this server and a lot of malicious competition. In order to seize the market, everyone set their prices lower than the other. Qian Caiyue fought with Han Bin and others, successfully broke through the siege, and made a small profit.
There weren't so many people bidding this time, and the recipes were basically the same, so she sold it according to Yu Zhu's pricing, and the sales volume was average. Her main ingredient was black rice, which she mostly grew and collected privately. She was originally worried about what to do with so much black rice, but then she got the recipe.
Perhaps because they were in the same industry, Yu Zhu's private message still made her nervous. She couldn't tell why. Perhaps it was because Yu Zhu's status was higher now, just like what other players called a "high-level player", making her feel like a small person being turned over by a big person.
But Yu Zhu neither acted arrogantly nor put on airs. She simply bought a bowl of porridge like an ordinary player. This made Qian Caiyue have a better impression of her. She felt approved and sold porridge more enthusiastically.
Yu Zhu, who had bought the porridge, packed up his things as quickly as possible and ran into the cabin with Xinni.
There was also a bonfire lit in the house. As soon as Yu Zhu entered, she felt that the cold air around her was covered by the heat. She quickly returned to the carpet and sat by the fire.
The water in the hot water bottle had already cooled down, and the warm water in the thermos was almost gone. She started to boil water again because she was going to take a hot bath soon, so she just used the grill and pot to heat them together.
Xinni, who was following behind, still had a small yellow croaker that was completely cooked in her mouth. She took it directly into Meihua's bowl and then ran to the campfire. She circled around the campfire several times at close range, roasted herself in various postures, and then jumped into Yu Zhu's arms.
Yu Zhu also took off his coat that was soaked with coldness and only wore a teddy bear vest and purple clothes. He caught the big warm baby Xinni and rubbed its fur comfortably. Xinni made a "snoring" sound.
Even though the gloves have a cold-proof effect, her hands were still frozen cold. In the face of absolute low temperatures, purple clothes are useless. After all, they are not warm gloves. The main function of gloves is to protect herself.
Xinni didn't mind Yu Zhu's cold hands at all, and rubbed them freely with her belly open. Holding the furry Xinni in his arms, Yu Zhu placed the black rice porridge on the folding table, and took out a portion of spicy and sour tribute vegetables, ready for a midnight snack!
I scooped up a mouthful of fragrant porridge with a wooden spoon, and a warm feeling slid down my throat into my stomach. The porridge had a rich rice aroma and melted in my mouth. It was soft, sticky, and delicious, with a sweet taste that warmed my whole body.
After drinking about three or four spoonfuls, Yu Zhu happily picked up a piece of Gongcai. It was sour, spicy and refreshing, and made a "crunching" sound when chewed. When paired with the black rice porridge, it complemented each other and broke the blandness of the porridge, making it even more delicious and a very healthy midnight snack.
On the other side, Meihua was also nibbling on the small yellow croaker, and her friendship with Xinni had reached a new level. When they had almost finished eating, she came over quite clingily and nestled at Yu Zhu's feet to warm her cold feet.
After Yu Zhu finished her midnight snack, she filled the hot water bottle and stuffed it into the single bed to warm her quilt. Xin Ni also followed in, very clear about her position.
Yu Zhu went to take a hot bath. When she came out again, she was no longer cold, and her whole body was even steaming. However, there was something strange in her lower abdomen.
She ate too much cold food (crabs) today, soaked in the sea water for the whole morning, and went fishing outdoors in the evening. The reason she didn't have dysmenorrhea was because she had a good foundation. People who have been traveling for a long time will feel a little uncomfortable.
Yu Zhu put the hot water bottle on his lower abdomen, hugged the warm Xinni, cuddled with her, and rubbed her fur. He felt doubly comforted physically and mentally, and was so comfortable that he felt a little sleepy.
Before going to bed, Yu Zhu checked today's earnings as usual.
A total of 87 pots of stewed fish and 62 pots of vegetable soup were sold throughout the night, a total of 745 bowls. Not counting the consumed wood boards and seeds exchanged, a total of 29,000g of water was earned. This is 200+ bowls less than yesterday, which is 7kg of water. It is normal for sales to decline, but overall sales are still good.
She just felt the temperature outside. This should be the deadline. If the players have not saved enough money to buy a house, they will not be able to survive even if they buy anti-cold soup. Therefore, the sales of houses tonight should be similar to yesterday. These two days are the best-selling period.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhu collected the proceeds from the trading area, and sold a total of: wooden houses x154, greenhouses x389, metal spears x426, intermediate water purifiers x51, single beds x288, intermediate bows x145, and stone arrows x3327.
Overall, it was pretty much what Yu Zhu expected. The greenhouse had a better constant temperature effect than the wooden house, and it was cheaper, so it was very cost-effective and sold relatively more.
On the contrary, no one is interested in items like stone axes, stone pickaxes, and bonfires. The former two are durable, and the latter can be used continuously as long as they are not damaged. They all have a certain period of use.
The thing that has exploded in popularity is undoubtedly a weapon. Perhaps because of the motivation from the broadcast, anyone with a little bit of ability would want to give it a try. Maybe a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle, which is also very good for self-protection. But the sharks may have a hard time.
Supplies updated: Wood x123.5w (+61w), Palm Leaves x19.3w (+8.7w), Plastic x41.7w (+23.6w), Stone x1.8w (+3388), Rough Wood x1w (+5484), Rope x4.5w (+2w), Nails x4.2w (+2.5w), Fragments x3.4w (+2w), Metal Ingots x915, Bolts x429, Hinges x583, Wool x8645, Glass x210, 63150g of Water...
Conclusion: Real estate is really profitable!
Wood planks, the basis of many recipes, have already broken a staggering million, basically all earned from selling houses.
Seeing himself becoming richer and richer, Yu Zhu could even laugh out loud in his sleep. He gradually relaxed. The cashmere pad beneath him was soft and warm, and his consciousness completely sank...
Have a good night's sleep.
