Chapter 97 Five Updates in One
First place in three rankings at the start√
Even though Yu Zhu had anticipated this, when he actually saw the result, he still couldn't hide his excitement and joy, and his blood was boiling.
Of course, compared with other players, she was quite calm. Before 12 o'clock, the chat area was already in full swing of discussion.
Liu Jinlong: Hiss! The rankings are about to be announced. I guess there's no hope. I don't even know what the specific rankings are.
[Xiang Hong: Blindly guessing a battle power ranking, the probability is very high. This is the ranking that best reflects the strength of the players.]
Yu Zhongkai: Speaking of the battle power rankings, the first person that comes to my mind is Boss Yu. She's definitely on the list!
[Xiang Tianlei: That's a must. The only two players on our server who have been on the official broadcast of the game are Boss Yu and Boss Luo. Boss Yu is a frequent visitor to the loudspeaker, and he's incredibly powerful.]
Liu Jinlong: +1. When I first heard that Boss Yu had killed a shark solo, I was completely puzzled. Then, when he killed a shark and a black bear, I was completely astonished. And then, when he killed two boss snakes, I was completely astonished and convinced. If you ask me, Boss Yu is a recognized top boss.
[Yue Yuxing: +2. Unless there's a hidden expert, I can't imagine anyone comparing the boss to someone stronger.]
[Liao Yun: There are definitely low-key bosses, but I still think Boss Yu is the best]
Le Zhi: Great minds think alike. I bet Boss Yu is the strongest fighter in this server!
Qiu Jun: I’m following you, I’m betting everything I have on you (completely crazy)
…
This is not mindless flattery or deliberate fawning by the players. The real battle records are there. Killing a shark may be luck, but killing so many BOSSes is undoubtedly strength. There is also the game broadcast to notarize it, so it is impossible not to believe it.
Human nature is to admire the strong. Even the most stubborn players will become obedient the moment they see the broadcast. Some people even take screenshots of the broadcast and save them, becoming Yu Chui from then on.
There have been many public events involving Yu Zhu. Although public opinion is on her side in the end, there are still a few people who consider themselves sober (sour) and would say: Flies don't bite seamless eggs, so why are you always caught up in controversies?
Even if these words are unreasonable in themselves, freedom of speech is the key, and no one can stop anyone from speaking. There are many aspects of a person that can be questioned, especially when people know that Yu Zhu is a woman, and they can't help but doubt her fighting ability. Often at this time, Yu Zhu's fans will take screenshots of the broadcast and slap her in the face.
If one card is not enough, he will throw the second and third cards. Yu Zhu is very competitive and has a lot of reports. In short, he throws one card after another without saying a word.
Over time, even the most ignorant players who didn't pay much attention to the chat area knew about Yu Zhu and her extremely powerful strength. The doubts gradually disappeared after being refuted again and again in the broadcasts, and the situation evolved into what we have now. Everyone is accustomed to Yu Zhu's strength and has full faith in her.
The more you get to know Yu Zhu, the more convinced you become of her, especially players who have felt her kindness.
Yu Zhu did more than just one thing. He also provided the secrets to passing the two missions, took the lead in selling key props and weapons, set up stalls at affordable prices, and never raised the price of the cold-resistant soup upgrade.
Maybe these are just trivial matters to Yu Zhu, but they can save lives for other players. It is because of Yu Zhu's existence and actions that the survival rate of players in server 4366 is so high.
After all, most players are ordinary people with limited strength. In this vast ocean, Yu Zhu is the navigator who leads everyone forward.
Many players were secretly thankful that they had met Yu Zhu. Now the atmosphere in the chat area was harmonious and beautiful, and the market in the trading area was comfortable and stable. Yu Zhu had made an indelible contribution to this. Without her, at least thousands more players would have died.
If someone else on another server or received important information, they probably wouldn't share it so easily. It's perfectly normal for them to use it to their own advantage, or even maliciously muddy the waters, monopolizing a key item for a short period of time and driving up prices. The situation would inevitably become chaotic, and wouldn't the ordinary players be the ones who suffered and paid the price? Compared to that, they were lucky enough right now.
Whether smart or stupid, everyone has a scale in their heart. Whether a person is good or bad may not be clear in the short term, but after a long time, the answer will be in everyone's heart.
Facts have proved that the players' bets were right. Yu Zhu not only won the first place in the combat power list, but also dominated the other two lists.
[Hu Xiangyang: As expected of Boss Yu, the undisputed God of War of Server 4366!]
Fu Wanwan: I know my Ah Zhu is the best (Spread flowers)
[Lian Bo: Boss Yu really makes people feel safe as always (cat crosses legs)]
[Mei Bei: Bozi, stop flirting here! Don't irritate my dear wife!]
[Wang Duoyu: Boss Yu is so powerful, hugging this thigh feels so secure!]
Luo Xincheng: It’s really cool, Boss Yu is awesome (his voice cracks)
Qian Caiyue: Lao Luo, you are one of the top three on the list, and you are being so modest.
Luo Xincheng: Hahaha, I still need to work harder to emulate Boss Yu! Old Qian, aren't you on two lists too?
Xiang Tianlei: @Wang Duoyu, you jerk! I didn't expect you to be so rich, fifth on the wealth list? What are you still clinging to? Let me go! It's my turn to cling (pull hair)]
Wang Duoyu: I won't let go! Lululu! Anyway, I'm on Boss Yu's boat, no one can throw me off (Zuo hum)
An Fangbin: I woke up and found the boss right next to me. @傅琬琬, you're on all three lists, you must have been doing a lot behind the scenes! (Ding)
Fu Wanwan: Hehe, I must follow Ah Zhu closely and never let her get away from me (proud)
…
The popularity of the chat area did not decrease with the release of the rankings. Many of the big guys on the list were still the same as before, speaking when they should and saying whatever they wanted to say. Their attitudes remained unchanged, and they were still approachable and teasing each other, which made the chat even more lively.
During this time, Yu Zhu's mood gradually calmed down. She bit a sweet strawberry in her mouth and took a look at the other people on the list.
The ranking list is divided into three columns, and each column only shows the top ten.
[Battle Power Ranking][Wealth Ranking][Popularity Ranking]
①Metaphor of bamboo①Metaphor of bamboo①Metaphor of bamboo
②Ming Jingming②Ming Jingming②Fu Wanwan
③Luo Xincheng③Luo Xincheng③Luo Xincheng
④Xue Shanming ④Fu Wanwan ④Hu Xiangyang
⑤ Cui Cong ⑤ Wang Duoyu ⑤ Xiang Tianlei
⑥Fu Wanwan⑥Qian Caiyue⑥Mei Bei
⑦An Fangbin⑦Xu Lifei⑦Wang Duoyu
⑧Xiang Tianlei ⑧An Fangbin ⑧Qian Caiyue
⑨Mei Bei ⑨Hu Xiangyang ⑨An Fangbin
⑩Ma Xuguang ⑩Mei Bei ⑩Lian Bo
Yu Zhu had seen all the players currently on the list in the chat area and had dealt with them privately. Many of them were people in her circle. With the list as a reference, she had a better understanding of their strength.
According to rough statistics, there are 5 players on each of the three lists/double lists/single lists.
Three lists丨All-round development: Yu Zhu, Luo Xincheng, Fu Wanwan, An Fangbin, and Mei Bei.
Double list丨Both sides blossoming: Ming Jingming (war + wealth), Xiang Tianlei (war + people), Wang Duoyu + Qian Caiyue + Hu Xiangyang (wealth + people).
Single list丨One stands out: Xue Shanming + Cui Cong + Ma Xuguang (war), Xu Lifei (finance), Lian Bo (people).
These three lists seem to be unrelated, but they are closely related. Players who can make it onto the combat power list/popularity list will have a greater chance of making it onto the wealth list.
The combat power list represents high military power, which is beneficial for fighting monsters and surviving. The quantity and quality of the obtained recipes will be improved, and the probability of obtaining good recipes will also increase.
The popularity list represents high exposure, and most of them are people with good reputation, excellent credibility, and good communication skills. The products in the trading area will sell better. You must know that players will have the same recipes. When two or more people sell the same thing, most buyers will choose to buy the products of acquaintances, just like Yu Zhu, supporting their own business.
To sum up, if you are on one of the two lists but not on the wealth list, there is no doubt that you are just too unlucky and have bad luck and didn’t get anything good.
In addition, hidden bosses are also exposed because of the list, and there are really players who are making a fortune in silence.
What surprised Yu Zhu the most was Ming Jingming. He was really a secretive person. Normally, he didn't show any signs of being a good person. But when chatting privately, he gave people the impression of a simple, harmless, innocent and obedient little chef.
In fact, he is ranked second on the battle power list + wealth list, and he is actually an extremely wealthy battle chef.
Logically speaking, with such astonishing data, he would definitely be on the popularity list, but in the end, there was not even a shadow of him in the top ten.
Not only Yu Zhu noticed him, but other players in the chat area were also confused. Everyone felt that the name was so unfamiliar. After chatting with each other, they found that they had no impression of each other. He was really too low-key.
Originally, when there were no rankings, no one would pay attention to him, but now there are rankings, and he is ranked so high. He doesn’t have any sense of existence at all, but he has piled up all the mysterious buffs, which naturally aroused everyone’s curiosity.
In the end, I really couldn't remember it, so I had to start searching and check the chat history. After searching for a long time, I found one entry. I saw that he had auctioned cold noodles once, and then he created a group for all the sellers, and he hadn't spoken in the chat history since then.
Upon seeing this, an insider who had participated in the auction immediately revealed that Ming Jingming did not say much in the group, but a group of foodies made bids. In the end, the cold noodles were bought by Yu Zhu, and the group was disbanded.
Metaphor·Foodie·Bamboo:?
Feeling like my reputation has been damaged.jpg
Who said the Internet has no memory?
Fortunately, the topic quickly returned to Ming Jingming. After all, everyone had already discussed Yu Zhuyi Xiaotian, so it was finally a new topic. The boss's melon was the most delicious, so how could they give it up easily?
However, after chatting for a long time, they didn't come to any conclusion, and the person involved didn't even say a word, which made everyone even more anxious and worried. It was like Curious's father was visiting Curious's grave. He was so curious that he died.
[Luo Xincheng: @Ming Jingming, wow? Bro! Are you really convinced by this?]
[Qian Caiyue: If there weren't a ranking list, this person would be completely unknown!]
Liu Jinlong: I'm impressed. How could they hold back? They only said one sentence in the chatroom from beginning to end (thumbs up).
Xiang Tianlei: Hahaha, I feel really suffocated if I don’t say it for a day (laughing wildly with hands on hips)
…
Yu Zhu and Ming Jingming met over a bowl of cold noodles, just as they said in the chat area. She still remembers the feeling of putting the noodles into her mouth. The taste was absolutely amazing.
The weather was very hot at that time. The ice-cold and crystal-clear cold noodles, the soft and chewy beef tendon noodles, and the fragrant and refreshing cucumber shreds, after being evenly mixed, exuded a rich spicy flavor, stimulating her taste buds. Now she can't help swallowing when she thinks about it.
Not to mention foodies, even ordinary people in that situation would not be able to resist the temptation of a bowl of cold noodles, which also laid the foundation for their subsequent transactions.
Yu Zhu discovered that his cooking skills were quite superb. Although she had initially felt that he rarely spoke in the chat area, she did not expect that this was actually the only time he spoke.
The key point is that even without bubbling, he still managed to reach the second place on the wealth list. How many good things must he have sold? I have the impression that he is the only one selling items like pots and kitchen knives. It seems that the recipe items each player opens are related to their own conditions and needs.
But Yu Zhu always felt that it was not enough to make money just by relying on the trading zone. It was reasonable to speculate that he must own affiliated islands. This was also the main reason why Yu Zhu could be the richest person in this server. She was the owner of the No. 297 intermediate island, which was a valuable real estate. Even if it could not be used for trading, it was her unique wealth.
Similarly, there are traces to follow for other players who made it onto the single list. Putting aside the simple and crude combat power list, Xu Lifei relied on selling small ranches to get to the seventh place on the wealth list, while Lian Bo is a smooth talker and is often active in various groups and chat areas. He caught the tail end of the popularity list and ranked tenth.
The facts were indeed similar to what Yu Zhu had thought. Careful observation and analysis allowed her to quickly come up with the correct answer.
As for Ming Jingming, the new center of attention, what is he doing at this moment?
He ignored the @ in the chat area, didn't read any of the 99+ private messages, and lived his life as usual.
Half an hour ago, he had just finished preparing lunch, a whole pot. He divided the food into two portions, one for Yu Zhu and one for himself.
He ate in a very polite manner, chewing his food slowly and carefully. Next to him sat a large Kunming dog over one meter tall.
Just ask yourself, what bad intentions could a dog have?
It watched him eat with eager eyes, and a long line of transparent liquid, commonly known as drool, was left on the corner of its mouth. It was about to drip onto the ground. Ming Jingming promptly threw it a piece of sweet and sour pork. The dog immediately opened its mouth wide, ate it in one bite with a howl, and made a "weeping" sound that was extremely inconsistent with its ferocious appearance.
After feeding the meat, Ming Jingming continued to eat calmly. If he hadn’t said it, who would have thought that such a greedy dog would be the boss of the island?
He named this Kunming dog Langqing, not because he had any talent for naming, but because its breed was called Langqing.
The Kunming Dog is a high-quality domestic dog breed that is highly adaptable to plateau climates, severe cold environments, and high temperatures. It is a working dog for the military and police. It has a long, thick tail, triangular eyes, a compact physique, well-developed muscles, and strong joints. It possesses many advantages, such as boldness and ferocity, both offensive and defensive capabilities, and alertness. In addition, it is loyal to its owner and obedient to him.
At first, a man and a dog had a fight on the island, and both of them were injured. During a break in the fight, Ming Jingming had lunch. Lang Qing rebelled on the spot and moved to another camp. Since then, he has been dependent on him.
That night I went back to the raft with him. I felt that the dog was quite adapted to life at sea, so I kept it. I never let it go hungry. I fed it kilograms of raw meat for every meal, but the dog was too greedy, and this situation happened.
It is known that ordinary islands only have one BOSS. After the wolf is tamed, Ming Jingming becomes the new owner of the island.
After he finished exploring the island, he took away the wolf and the treasure chest that it had been guarding for a long time. Without staying for too long, the raft set off again in just two days.
Unlike Luo Xincheng who had two maps, Ming Jingming only had one map, but he was lucky enough. After drifting on the sea for a day and a night, he actually encountered a wild island.
The boss of this island is a pregnant tiger, and Wolf Cub is the adult boss. With the addition of Wolf Cub, they cooperate well and their combat effectiveness has tripled, which is more than enough to deal with a tiger.
The two sides started fighting as soon as they met. At first, Ming Jingming did not notice that it was pregnant. He just thought that the tiger was too fat. After all, the wolf cub was quite strong and had a big belly, but not as big as its. Moreover, its reaction was very ferocious and extremely intense.
It was not until he knocked the tiger down and laid on the ground with its belly exposed that Ming Jingming realized something was wrong. He stopped the wolf from biting the tiger's throat and walked towards the tiger. Its eyes were still fierce, but it was no longer able to resist. Blood flowed across its eyes and its consciousness gradually became blurred.
When it woke up again, the whole tiger was tied up like a mummy.
Ming Jingming took the island treasure chest. He did not kill it. For safety reasons, he tied it up, gave it some herbs, and fed it some food.
Later, he began to concentrate on exploring the island. Perhaps because he detected that the BOSS had lost its combat effectiveness in the short term, Ming Jingming naturally became the new owner of the island.
If the island owner is a player, he will be rewarded with a title. Wearing the title will prevent him from being attacked by creatures on the island. He untied the tiger. The tiger was still wary of him, but no longer had the intention to kill him. After the exploration was completed, he also left the island with Wolf Boy.
As the owner of two ordinary islands, he easily ranked second on the wealth list.
In comparison, Luo Xincheng was a bit unlucky. He only had one island under his name. Relying on his high attribute value, he went head-to-head with the brown bear BOSS at the beginning. He had no skills and relied entirely on recklessness. He suffered serious injuries. Although he gained a lot, he almost died.
As the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser. People won't learn from their mistakes unless they suffer losses.
It took him some time to recover from his injuries, and he also had to explore the island. The second island was very far away, so it was only the last two days before he could get there.
His injuries had not yet fully healed, and the boss of this island happened to be an elephant, a social animal, which immediately put an end to his desire to fight the boss, forcing him to choose to outsmart him.
Elephants are the largest land animals in the world and have very high IQs. Luo Xincheng spent a lot of effort to get the treasure chest. This is why his products in the trading area sell well but he can only rank third on the wealth list. It's all because of this island.
After a little thought, Yu Zhu figured out the situation of the three lists. The easiest to understand was the popularity list, which ranked by the number of fans following it.
Her head is also literally glowing, all due to the three newly unlocked titles.
Those who are qualified to be on the leaderboard will be closely watched by many players. This is a supreme honor and a certification of strength from the official game. While gaining a lot of exposure, there will definitely be rewards, and everyone will become a conspicuous target.
There was no mirror in Yu Zhu's house, but she could feel how bright her head was. She decided to calm down and check the title description first.
[Ding! Congratulations on reaching the top of the server's battle power ranking!]
[Gift Title: No. 1 God of War in Server 4366 (Already worn)]
[Wearing Effect: All attribute points of the wearer +10]
[Note: This title is dark gold, has a shining effect, and is automatically pinned to the top. It cannot be hidden unless the player dies or is replaced.]
Benefits and risks coexist! A real living target√
Fortunately, the effect is significant, and a lot of attribute points have been added. It is a fatal temptation from the game that no player can refuse. Yu Zhu suddenly felt that even the light was a little more pleasing to the eye. I just don’t know if it will be bright at night. If it is still so bright at night, wouldn’t it save a lot of electricity bills?
[The title will change with the surrounding light]
It means it won’t be very bright at night√
After receiving the additional explanation from the game, Yu Zhu knew that he could sleep peacefully, so he clicked on the second title.
[Ding! Congratulations on reaching the top of our server's wealth list!]
[Gift Title: The Richest Man in Server 4366 (Already Worn)]
[Effect of wearing: The wearer's trading zone income increases by 20% (effective immediately)]
[Note: This title is pure gold, has a shining effect, and is automatically pinned to the top. It cannot be hidden unless the player dies or is replaced.]
Yu Zhu opened the trading area at the right time to check the earnings. The ranking list will be announced at 12 o'clock sharp, which means that only transactions made after 12 o'clock are valid. There is no income bonus before 12 o'clock. The game has always been clear in this regard and will never let players take advantage of it. This 20% is already very considerable, and the profit is definitely beyond imagination.
After learning about the two titles, only the last one is left.
[Ding! Congratulations on reaching the top of our server's popularity list!]
[Gift Title: Server 4366's Most Popular Idol (Already Worn)]
[Wearing effect: The wearer has 100% appeal (only valid for fans of this server, the effect is halved for non-fans)]
Title Description: Your words and actions will attract the most attention. No one can ignore your presence. You will be the center of your fans' attention and everyone will listen carefully to you. You are absolutely immune to people/objects with similar buffs. You are deeply loved by the Creator and receive an additional +20% of your luck.
[Note: This title is bright gold and has a shining effect. It is automatically placed at the top and cannot be hidden unless the player dies or is replaced.]
Compared with the first two titles, Yu Zhu initially felt that the third one was a bit useless. The entire introduction could be summed up in three words: "heartthrob". It was not until he saw the immunity + luck buff that his opinion changed a little.
There are European emperors in this world, but their number is quite rare. It is no exaggeration to say that they are one in a billion. Generally, it is not something that can be changed by human power.
What Yu Zhu didn't expect was that her luck could be increased. After all, she has always believed in the principle of cause and effect. If something is not extreme, it will be good, and if something is good, it will be extreme.
Thinking that she had just opened all the drawings, Yu Zhu did not regret it. She was quite aware of her luck. It was only a 20% increase, not 100%. If she wanted to get a high-level drawing with a 1% probability from the blind box formula, it would be better to dream about it.
As a person, you should look to the future instead of regretting what has happened. You should think positively. At least you will be lucky in the future. Luck is not only reflected in one aspect, such as daily fishing, applying for minimum living allowance, and making some important choices. It can play a role and is of great significance.
By the time he figured out all the titles, an hour had passed since the rankings were announced. Yu Zhu received a ranking survey form from Fu Wanwan, and he finally understood why the letter above his head was so bright.
Although everyone's title shines, the degree of their shine is completely different.
The higher the ranking, the brighter the title, and the brightness is cumulative.
One title is eye-catching enough. When the three brightest titles are stacked together, what’s the difference between them and a little sun?
Of course, the effects of the titles worn will vary depending on the ranking. The higher the ranking, the better the buff.

Yu Zhu exchanged information about Ming Jingming's title bonus, and the rest was collected by Fu Wanwan and others.
This was not the first time Fu Wanwan had done a survey, and the process was becoming more and more handy. For example, after learning about the titles of the 6th and 10th place, she discovered that their buffs were the same, so there was no need to ask the players in between. Most of the people on the list were in Yu Zhu's fan group, and knowing that intelligence needed to be collected, they took the initiative to report the data and were quite cooperative.
This information will be made public in the core group. Everyone is a group that shares key information and can gather powerful players together. It is not just admiration for a certain person, but more of a coincidence of interests.
As the leader of the group, the more capable Yu Zhu is, the more stable the relationship among everyone will be.
In addition, the rankings are marked as updated in real time, but there should not be much change in the short term. The gap between the rankings is not as simple as it seems on the surface, unless a player gets an opportunity. The higher the ranking, the greater the gap between each one will be, and it will be more difficult to surpass.
Yu Zhu opened his personal panel, and the three attributes were refreshed again.
HP: 49 (+10) (This bone is quite painful)
[Attack Power: 56 (+10) (You are a tough opponent)]
[Agility: 53 (+10) (Action accompanied by a breeze)]
If she keeps up this pace and keeps moving forward, she will become stronger and stronger.
No one would remain indifferent after seeing something as exciting as the rankings. It was inevitable that they would be amazed by the big guys and strong people, and then gain motivation from them. Yu Zhu was also completely energized.
If you wake up late in the morning and take a nap at noon, you won’t have any need to sleep at night.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhu was finally willing to leave the sofa. She changed the water in the washing machine again. She had to wash two waves in total, one for sheets and one for clothes. Each wave had to be washed twice, washing once and rinsing at the same time. It took about 2 hours in total.
After draining the water for the first time, Yu Zhu added another bucket of water before letting Xinni continue pedaling. Seeing that her speed had not slowed down at all and she was still working very hard, he finally softened his heart a little.
So, Yu Zhu touched Xinni's head and said softly, "If you're tired, just rest for a few minutes. It's okay to wash later."
Simple Water Purifier No. 1: I almost have a conscience (beeping)
Sini: Black Panther never says he's tired OvO
It means it doesn't need to rest!
Seeing this, Yu Zhu couldn't be lazy anymore. She prepared to go out fishing. The weather was good on her day off, and there were ten fishing spots available today (yesterday + today), which was a good time to try out her new luck.
She picked up the little octopus from the sofa, tucked it under her arm, and walked out of the cabin together.
Before leaving, seeing that some of the objects had fallen asleep, Yu Zhu turned off the projector. The room immediately returned to silence, with only the "clack clack" sound of Xinni's pedaling. Because it sounded particularly rhythmic, it was not noisy, but rather a bit hypnotic.
1:00 PM
Yu Zhu adjusted the angle of the wooden rocking chair, fixed it firmly, and covered it with a layer of delicate and soft blanket, so that it would be more comfortable to lie on.
She was wearing long clothes and long pants. She had just experienced the severe cold of the previous mission. The daytime temperature was around 20 degrees Celsius, slightly cool but not hot, which was very suitable.
He slumped back in the rocking chair, holding the little octopus in his arms, feeling warm and rubbing. Yu Zhu sighed from the bottom of his heart, it was so comfortable.
(Game: This looks more and more like vacation.)
Yu Zhu stuck the fishing rod on the side of the armrest and began to sit still, his eyes slightly narrowed, and it was unclear whether he was looking into the distance or taking a nap.
Although he looks quiet on the surface, his mind is actually full of thoughts.
She takes a shower every day and washed clothes today, so the four large buckets of water she stored were not enough.
It rained on the last rest day, but it didn’t rain this time. The weather doesn’t look like it’s going to rain. Fortunately, some river water was replenished from the island. If it doesn’t rain in the next few days, we can hold out for a while.
Twenty minutes passed quietly like this. A fish took the bait. When the float sank, which took less than half a second, Yu Zhu raised his hand and picked up the fishing rod. As soon as he got it, he could feel the familiar strength and stubbornness. This fish must be big.
After a brief one-minute battle between the man and the fish, the latter was undoubtedly defeated, and a fish covered with dense black spots and with a big mouth was pulled onto the raft.
[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a grouper!]
【Length: 53.76cm (medium)】
【Breakdown: 1200g fish meat】
After putting the bait on the fish again, Yu Zhu threw the fishing rod with force and half-lay down backwards again.
The game watched this scene silently. Compared with other players, Yu Zhu was very skilled in fishing. The whole process and style were extremely easy, even easier than eating and drinking water for others.
Compared to this, the game is more about watching other players fishing. I remember that last time a player caught a smelly sock and was knocked unconscious by the smell for three minutes. Another player caught something really big and thought it was a big fish. After a lot of effort, he pulled it up and saw that it was actually a broken wine bottle filled with sea water. The bottom of the bottle was also filled with broken stones. Did he catch the bottle that the crow drinks water from?
Just thinking about it can make people laugh so hard that they can't stop. The life of the game also needs players to spice it up. However, just as it recalled the interesting scenes, it saw another fish being hooked.
[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a sea catfish!]
【Length: 48.21cm (Medium)】
【Breakdown: 1000g fish meat】
Catfish have no scales and relatively few bones, and have long whiskers on both sides of their mouths, making them relatively easy to handle when eaten. However, with the one-click decomposition function in the game, Yu Zhu was too lazy to handle the fish herself. She always had to find something to do for the game.
Hidden in the shadows, Yugi could only work diligently and honestly for her, almost forgetting that today was her day off. Yugi should have taken a break too, but look at what she's doing now? Killing fish!
game:?
Who is working for whom?
Even making games is hard these days.
I had just finished dealing with this side when I saw another fish being caught over there.
This time, Yu Zhu looked a little more serious and focused than the previous two times, but it didn't look like he was putting in much effort.
Yugi thought it was another fish, but when the fishing line was pulled closer, the fish in the sea rolled to the left, revealing its fat and strong body. The waves almost flew onto Yugi's face, which was five times the size of the fish just now.
[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a salmon!]
【Length: 1.6m (large)】
【Breakdown: 7000g salmon meat】
Yu Zhu: Unchanged Expression.jpg
Game: Gradually Splitting.jpg
Yu Zhu was used to seeing large amounts of food weighing tens of thousands of grams, so even a 7kg salmon didn't stir up much emotion in her. But when she thought about how Xinni loved salmon and how there were only 3kg left in stock, she nodded in satisfaction because this new fish would allow Xinni to eat for longer.
game:……
What can it do? Just keep killing the fish!
After chatting with Yu Zhu a few times, the game has also learned to guide itself. Looking at the bright side, where can you find another player as capable as Yu Zhu?
Other games are so jealous of it! I guess they are so bored on their days off!
This fish is really fishy (sob)
Soon, only two-thirds of the salmon were caught, and the fourth fish was hooked again.
[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a longtail!]
【Length: 38.99cm (Medium)】
【Breakdown: 800g longli fish meat】
The sole, commonly known as the ox tongue or semi-smooth tongue sole, has a long, flattened body and is tongue-shaped. Its optimal water temperature is 14-24°C. It has no fishy or odorous taste, and its meat is delicious and remains tender even after long cooking. The fatty acids in the fish can inhibit free radicals in the eyes, protecting them and relieving eye fatigue, earning it the nickname "eye-protecting fish."
This was the third time Yu Zhu caught this fish. She remembered the nickname of the fish. The first two times it was treated as ordinary fish meat, but this time it would not be the same!
Yu Zhu pointed and said, "Cook this one for me. I want to eat the dragon fish meat!"
【……】
Its fists are hard.
Is there anyone who can take care of it?
Yu Zhu received the six points sent by the game, and realized that it was a tacit agreement. She leisurely swung the rod out until the fifth fish was hooked. She saw a very familiar white mirror, but unfortunately the mirror was fake and could not reflect the appearance.
[Ding! Congratulations, you caught a sunfish!]
【Length: 61.13cm (Medium)】
【Breakdown: 1600g fish meat】
Although this fish looks snow-white and delicate and has a lot of fat, it does not taste good when cooked, and is even a bit unpalatable. In reality, it will most likely be made into fish meal and used as feed. Yu Zhu did not have any additional requirements and made it into ordinary fish meat as usual.
Today's catch rate was pretty good. Five fish were caught in just two hours, and they were all quite large. Other players would have been secretly happy, but Yu Zhu had a new question.
Yu Zhu: "Is the raft not drifting far enough? It seems like I haven't caught any new species of fish in a while."
game:……?
I doubt you're hitting on me.
Yu Zhu: "Hey."
Game: OK, you’re clicking on me.
This is the first time that the game has heard such an unreasonable question. It is good enough for other players to catch fish. Even if there are questions, most of them are asking: Are there any fish in the sea?
In short, these are some idiotic questions that will never get a response. Some people sit around for an entire afternoon and then catch a turtle. They get so angry that they throw the turtle to the ground. The turtle stretches out its four short legs and crawls faster than a rabbit, diving back into the sea in the blink of an eye. Every time, it can randomly anger a player to death.
Unlike Yu Zhu, who is so insatiable. He used to catch small fish, but now with the bonus of luck, he catches big fish every time. He is still clamoring to catch new fish!
Complaints aside, the game still conducted relevant investigations. Fishing in the survival world will not completely follow the sea area requirements, but it will definitely be affected. To be precise, Yu Zhu is right. She has not entered the new sea area yet, but it seems the distance is almost there.
Since she asked the question sincerely, the game also gave a perfunctory hint.
【Probability Problem】
Yu Zhu: "Okay, I understand."
This time it's the game's turn to be confused.
How did you understand? What did you understand?
Did it say anything? What did she understand?
I have never hated the Riddler so much. It is really unbearable. I am probably so depressed that I will die if I don’t ask the question. The game has a question mark.
【? 】
Yu Zhu: "We'll be able to catch new fish soon."
【? ? 】
I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it. I'm about to catch it as a black carp!
3:20 PM
Yu Zhu put down his fishing rod briefly and went back and forth to the cabin twice to change the water in the washing machine. Now he finally finished washing.
She tied a rope to a high corner outside the cabin and tied the other end to the top of the nearest triangular sail pole. She took out all the washed clothes and spread out the sheets and quilt covers and hung them up to let them dry evenly. There was plenty of sunshine on the sea, and it was expected that they would be almost dry by the time the sun set.
After doing all this, Yu Zhu returned to the fishing area. The moment she sat down, she raised her hand, as if stroking something invisibly. It was the sea breeze coming from all around her, everywhere, and the wind speed had increased by at least one level. She turned her head and looked at the wind direction flag, and the small red flag had already changed direction.
Yu Zhu smiled faintly and said firmly, "The wind has changed."
There is no need to send question marks this time, the game understands it all because the raft has entered a new sea area.
She picked up the fishing rod and threw the fishing line into the sea without hesitation. She no longer fixed the fishing rod, but held it in her hand. It was obvious that she was in a good mood. She hummed a tune for a few seconds, a cheerful little tune called "Farewell Book".
Seeing this scene, even though it had no body, the game wanted to shiver. It could understand No. 1 more and more.
True Devil's Whisper√
Ten minutes later, the fishing line suddenly stretched straight. Yu Zhu slightly tightened her grip on the fishing rod, but before she could start reeling in the fish, a horrifying scene occurred.
Suddenly, two dorsal fins, one large and one small, appeared on the surface of the sea, swimming rapidly in a straight line towards her raft.
The situation was very urgent. We said we were going to catch a new fish, but unfortunately, we ended up catching a shark!
Without further ado, Yu Zhu stood up immediately, reeling in the line in her hand, which had already left an afterimage. She then held the fishing rod and moved to the open space on the left. Seeing that the dorsal fin had indeed adjusted its direction, she felt relieved. She had always been very professional in reeling in fish.
The game initially thought Yu Zhu was going to jerk the shark left and right, knocking it unconscious. Instead, she only moved once, and then stopped. The game started to panic. Why wasn't she running? "Run!" "Move!" "Move!" "Look back!" The game was so anxious its brain was about to shut down!
Yu Zhu had no idea of Yugi's secret anxiety. She was very stable in both her mentality and state. The main reason she moved was to change her position. She couldn't afford to lose the rocking chair, blanket, and little octopus just to catch a fish, right?
Now that there was nothing behind her to block her from getting damaged, she could begin the operation with peace of mind.
As the distance gets closer, my heartbeat gets faster and faster, mixed with uncontrollable excitement and other emotions. These are all normal physiological reactions, but the only thing missing is the fear that should be there.
In just a few seconds, the shark rushed in front of him. It broke out of the sea, opened its bloody mouth, pounced, and bit Yu Zhu with an extremely ferocious look.
She neither dodged nor evaded, neither retreated nor gave way. She decisively let go of the fishing rod in her hand and replaced it with a large machete that had been sharpened to a shine. She held the handle with both hands and faced the shark head-on, colliding with it. The blade pierced through the fish's body, and blood flowed.
The shark was cut in half and fell on either side of Yu Zhu's body. The separated fins and flesh were still twitching uncontrollably.
Yu Zhu changed her grip to one-handed, swinging the knife twice with ease. A sharp sound of piercing the air could be heard. She flung all the blood off the blade into the sea, then glanced down at the dead fish beside her. She commented impartially, "Isn't this a bull shark? The cuts are quite symmetrical, a blessing for someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder."
game:?
With you, I am really convinced by those with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
[Congratulations on killing a Bull Shark x1 and gaining experience points x100]
[After testing, you have killed a total of 3 sharks. The title effect has been upgraded: 3% deterrent effect on sharks]
[Would you like me to analyze and report this for you? ]
Yu Zhu: "Yes."
[Breakdown for you: 15000g fish meat]
[Chat area of server 4366 (5489 people)]
[Loudspeaker: Congratulations to player Yu Zhu for successfully killing his third shark! HexaKill!]
[Reward: Experience points x100, total experience points x200]
[Current Level: Level 6/550 Experience]
The game broadcast was as arrogant and cool as ever, almost shocking the players who were chatting and arguing.
[Pang Gang: ??? Did I see that correctly? Something just flashed by!]
Xiao Jianing: That golden kill report, jeez! Did anyone take a screenshot?! I was so shocked I just realized it! I forgot to take a screenshot!
[Mei Bei: I took a screenshot (picture), luckily my fingers were quick enough to not miss any news about my wife (dog head holding a rose)]
Fu Wanwan: Ahhh! Ah Zhu is so handsome! Ahhh (I’m going crazy)
[Jing Jianbo: This is really cool, but it seems like today is a day off (scary when you think about it)]
Yao Liwen: "Fuck, didn't they say it's absolutely safe on weekends? How come there's a shark here?"
[Su Lu: I was sunbathing outside. I almost froze to death yesterday. I was feeling quite warm, but after seeing the report about the shark being killed, I felt cold all over (shivering)]
…
Yu Zhu: Don't panic, everyone (pats head), rest days are indeed safe, and sharks are just a beautiful exception.
Wang Duoyu: Boss Yu, please elaborate (listen carefully)
Yu Zhu: I caught it while fishing.
Qiu Jun: What the hell! You can even catch sharks! I was so scared I threw my fishing rod away (jumped up three feet high)
[Lezhi: You unlucky bastard, you haven't given up fishing yet @Qiu Jun, the shark will come and bite you in the ass soon!]
Xiang Tianlei: His level of skill is unforgettable to me. He was lucky to even catch a sand sculpture, let alone a shark.
…
Luo Xincheng: Can I ask Boss Yu how he caught that shark? Is it the same shark that attacked us at night? @Yuzhu
Yu Zhu: I entered a new sea area and caught one by accident. It was all normal fishing. As for the sharks, they were different species, but their strength was not much different.
Luo Xincheng: Okay, thank you, Boss Yu, for letting me know (bowing)
Hu Xiangyang: Luo Ge, why are you asking this? You're not going to fish for sharks, are you?
Liu Jinlong: Do you really have to be so cruel? We're already in the top three, and you're not even letting us off on our days off, actually engaging in internal competition!
[Xiang Hong: Exactly, I wish the sharks would stay away from me, the farther the better!]
…
Game: Redefine the phrase "the difference in strength is not big".
Yu Zhu didn't lie. In any case, it was easier for her to kill sharks.
Compared to the embarrassment she had experienced when she killed the first one, this one was no longer worthy of her attention. Her attribute points had increased at least four times, but the shark seemed to have not changed at all?
game:……?
Are you sure you're not progressing too fast?
Even a shark with wings can’t catch up with you!
No matter how you look at it in the game, this bull shark is more ferocious than the shark in Night Raid, but if you compare them with Yu Zhu, Yu Zhu is definitely the most ferocious :)
Of course, the comparison also depends on the variety.
The lowfin shark, also known as the bull shark, has a spindle-shaped body, a thick trunk, a broad, flat head, a wide, rounded snout, and serrated teeth that are either upright or slightly outward-slanting. Unlike other ocean sharks, it can also swim in freshwater and even in rivers. As a result, it is often responsible for near-shore attacks on humans and is recognized as one of the three most dangerous sharks, even more threatening than the other two. It has been the subject of numerous terrorist attacks throughout history.
That's why the game considers it more brutal.
How could Yu Zhu not know about this if even Yumi knew about it? She just felt that it wouldn't be difficult to solve.
Yu Zhu also understood why Luo Xincheng asked about shark fishing. It was simply because he wanted to try killing a shark. Currently ranked third on the Battle Power Ranking, she felt he should have no problem catching one. Besides, sharks weren't that easy to catch. He should just catch one first, then talk about it.
Small things like this will be discovered sooner or later. How can you survive at sea without sharks?
On the premise that they were not enemies, Yu Zhu didn't mind revealing it. The reason why Luo Xincheng was so eager was because he was one of the only two players in this server who had appeared in the game broadcast and must have known about the doubling of experience points.
No one doesn't want to level up. Yu Zhu was actually quite surprised that he had found other ways to level up besides completing missions. He clearly didn't get any experience points when he caught a giant fish last time. Could it be that the fish were different?
A bold guess: the shark species is very likely a relatively special existence.
I watched Yu Zhu's thoughts jump around the entire time, and the game always felt a bit weird.
On the surface, it knows everything about her, but in fact, she has guessed it thoroughly. Please leave some clothes for it Orz
The next second, Yugi heard her voice.
Yu Zhu: "Give me some shark blood."
【? 】
Yu Zhu: "I want to make it into Maoxuewang."
【Do you think I believe it? 】
Yu Zhu: "Well, I actually plan to use it as bait."
[Since you killed 1 shark today, your fishing quota for today has been used up.]
Yu Zhu: "I didn't say I was using it for fishing, but if a shark attacks my raft, you can't deny me the right to defend myself, right?"
【……】
Game: Haha, I knew it!
With the game's understanding of Yu Zhu, it could guess what was going on if she just blinked! But it had sent her so many question marks, and she didn't understand what they meant!
No, it’s not that she doesn’t understand, she’s just pretending not to understand!
People are getting more and more demanding, and now they are openly exploiting game bugs!
The game was in a very sad situation, but it had no choice but to obey because it discovered that... what Yu Zhu said made sense, it was straightforward without any hints, and it was an open conspiracy that could not be refused.
Yu Zhu: Since you can't take the initiative to attack, then pick up a weapon to protect yourself√
It would be more convincing if the eyes didn't flicker but glowed with excitement.
Seeing that the game hadn't responded for a long time, Yu Zhu decided to use his mouth to help its artificial intelligence out.
Yu Zhu: "My reputation is so high, my popularity is skyrocketing, and I'm number one on the three rankings. I must be considered a high-quality player. Can't I advance my fishing quota for tomorrow?"
"It's not the first time we've done this. Everything was fine yesterday."
game:?
Previously, the maximum advance/deferral was one day.
Look at how angry you are now. Does this look like something that can be solved in two days?
Yu Zhu: "I can tell you don't know how to lead a team. Even with a player as skilled as me, you're still hesitant to make decisions. If you keep working like this for your entire life, you won't be able to level up."
What does it mean to kill someone and destroy their heart?
Just a few words can make the manager of a game with a scale of up to 10,000 people feel overwhelmed and want to vomit blood.
Doesn’t it have a temper?
It’s not made of dough!
It's not soft cotton!
In a trance, some time ago, it became like this.
Everything that needs to be said has been said. Yu Zhu calculates the damage carefully every time she attacks, and never adds an extra hit. I believe that as long as the game is given some time, after her long-term professional CPU treatment, it will definitely live up to expectations.
Not caring about the game's entanglement and struggle at all, Yu Zhu carried the machete on her shoulder. At her feet was Xinni, who had heard the news and rushed over. Her attention naturally shifted to the big cat.
Yu Zhu looked down at Xinni's front and back paws carefully. After comparing them twice, he couldn't help laughing out loud: "Xinni, hahaha, why do I feel like your front paws have become fleshy? So cute!"
High EQ: Chubby and cute√
Low EQ: Washing clothes, the clothes are swollen×
Xinni tilted her head: "Ah~"
It let out a low cry, followed Yu Zhu's gaze, and looked at its own paws in confusion, but didn't see anything wrong. They were still as black as if it had been digging coal for ten years.
This pitiful and well-behaved little appearance really touched people's hearts, and Yu Zhu's resistance dropped directly to negative numbers.
She simply squatted down, not even picking up the machete, but putting it aside. She held Xinni's front paws with both hands and rubbed them with great care.
Yu Zhu: "Good girl, does your paw hurt? Mommy will massage it for you, it will be fine after a massage!"
Although Xinni didn't understand what was happening, it felt endless tenderness and love, and couldn't help but lean closer to Yu Zhu, wanting to rub her face.
Yu Zhu naturally understood what Xinni meant, and decisively held it in his arms, put his face close to it, and rested his chin on its head, pressing down its ears. Although its head was a little bald, it was still irreplaceable.
After Yugi finally made up his mind and got a full score on the CPU course, he saw a scene of a friendly interaction between a man and a leopard.
game:?
Speak softly to the coal briquettes and speak coldly to them.
There was always a thick, dark aura that seemed to be lingering in the air, enveloping it completely. Yes, that's right, the game was following a trend, and it was going dark.
A large basin of fishy shark blood was poured directly into the sea in front of the raft. The sound was so loud that it scared Xinni.
It looked towards the direction of the blood very alertly, but Yu Zhu still stroked its fur calmly.
Yu Zhu: "You finally came to your senses. The sun is about to set."
【Oh】
Yu Zhu: “?”
How did you become so neurotic?
Wouldn’t she drive the dog game crazy?
I don't know if there is a one-click repair function.
In short, she was not surprised that the game could compromise. This was undoubtedly good news. After the rules were gradually lowered, Yu Zhu would be able to gain more freedom, and she would be less and less restricted in doing anything she wanted to do.
Yu Zhu had thought about why the game had so many restrictions. Could it really be because they wanted to protect the ecological environment and natural flora and fauna?
It's obviously just a string of data, why act so hard?
Unless, this is not data. Thinking of this, Yu Zhu was surprised, but if he let his mind wander, if it was really reality, it would definitely not be the original world. Perhaps there really is a parallel space in this world, and many things here can indeed be explained by technology rather than being fantasy.
Is the game good or bad?
Yu Zhu still couldn't see through it and always felt that it was more like neutral.
Her feelings about the game are very complex, with some good and some evil, some reasonable and some cruel, which is really hard to understand.
Conservatively speaking, restricting the development of players has the intention of protection, but also the intention of suppression. My thoughts are becoming more and more confused. In the end, we haven't been together long enough and don't understand each other deeply enough. The road ahead is long and difficult, so let's take it one step at a time.
In fact, the shark did not give Yu Zhu much time to imagine freely. In just a few minutes, it came over following the scent.
This time, without the restraint of a fishing rod, Yu Zhu directly took out the silver bullet gun. She aimed at the shark swimming towards her in the blood trail in front of her left side.
The water was quite dark, and the only thing that could be used to identify the fish's movements was the dorsal fin that was exposed above the surface.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out.
The bullet hit the shark's head, and blood exploded directly on the sea surface, with pieces of flesh and blood splattering everywhere.
The bullets of the Silver Bullet Gun have a short-range explosion damage after hitting the prey.
Using advanced weapons to kill a shark of this level is no different from an adult bullying a child. It is destined to be a crushing battle.
Of course, the weapon itself is powerful, but it also depends on who is using it. Only when they are in perfect harmony and perfectly controlled can the true strength of the weapon be brought into play and its highest value be reflected.
There is no need to bleed the game anymore. A fresh and hot wave has arrived, and the sharks' instinct for flesh and blood has stimulated them to become more and more restless.
I don't know when more and more sharks appeared around me. They came from all directions and accelerated at the same time. They shared the dead sharks and kept biting the sharks' corpses with their sharp teeth, even if they were of the same kind as them.
This type of shark should only exist in this sea area, where a group of bull sharks have been living for a long time. Yu Zhu's shark fishing trick undoubtedly caught the shark's nest.
Dozens of sharks suddenly appeared from the originally calm sea surface. If Yu Zhu panicked for even a second, he would miss the opportunity.
The scene was so terrifying that even the evil Yu Shi felt his scalp tingling. If it were someone else, they would probably be scared to death. However, Yu Zhu did not hesitate at all and turned the gun towards the next shark.
The number was indeed more than imagined. Yu Zhu had no other thoughts, he just knew that he might not be able to fish for half a month in the future.
Then let’s kill them all at once!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three, four, five.
Every shot hit the head, and even the dorsal fin was broken. All the bull sharks that were hit lost their lives. Even if they were still alive, they would be in a state of low health, no longer able to move, and would be quickly eaten by their own kind.
With so many enemies around, Yu Zhu had no chance to shoot the same prey a second time. She did not forget one thing: her bullets were limited.
There are 20 rounds in total, 4 for test shooting, and 16 left. Every shot must hit the vital point.
Today, either these sharks will be killed or all of them will be wiped out. She will definitely not lose.
The sharks that were not taken care of were either waiting for an opportunity to pounce on her or gnawing at her raft.
Fortunately, her family is big and her raft is over a hundred square meters, so she is not afraid of being bitten. There are many other fish that come up to add to the food. I don’t know if the game will count these little stupid fish as kills. I guess they don’t get any experience points, but the meat must be hers, right?
Yugi: ...It's already this late! It's the crucial shopping time! How can you still have time to think about these things!
Amidst Yu Zhu's constant gunfire, the game prompt sound also sounded synchronously.
[Congratulations on successfully killing Bull Sharks x2, x3, x4...]
