After finishing their meal, the two men and the eagle lay on the bluestone slabs to digest their food. No one spoke, and they quietly enjoyed this rare leisure time.
The wind was very strong in the evening and it was very cool. The riverside was very quiet, with only the croaking of frogs as the only sound.
Listening to the frog sounds, Chen Wangping couldn't help but think, "It's been a long time since I last ate wild pepper bullfrog. There are also dry pot bullfrog, spicy bullfrog, and perilla bullfrog..."
Well, I have to find a chance to catch two and try them.
After a moment, Tang Xihe asked, "Do you want me to drive you home later? It's so late."
Before Chen Wangping could say anything, the golden eagle beeped twice and spread its wings proudly.
Chen Wangping smiled and said, "No need. The golden eagle can take me back. You can go back and do your own thing."
Tang Xihe nodded and said, "With the golden eagle protecting you, I won't worry anymore. So, the remaining rabbit meat..."
Chen Wangping handed the basin to Tang Xihe and said, "Take everything. Golden Eagle and I have other food. But I have to take care of the mine tomorrow, so I won't be digging for deep blue iron ore with you for the time being. See you the day after tomorrow, okay, Boss Tang?"
Tang Xihe picked up the basin and put it into the ring, agreeing readily: "Of course, no problem. This meat is enough for two days. If you need any help, just let me know."
Chen Wangping smiled and said, "Nothing. If you have anything to do, go back first. I still need to fish for a while."
Tang Xihe smoothed his hair and said, "Okay, then you go fishing. I'm going back to the city first. See you the day after tomorrow."
The golden eagle also raised its wings and waved, saying goodbye the day after tomorrow.
The engine sounded and Tang Xihe gradually left.
Chen Wangping turned around, took out the wolf tendon fishing rod, and tied two copper wires to it with full fighting spirit.
"Diaobao, be alert all around. I need to catch more fish today!"
“Beep!”
I was lucky today and got more than a hundred eggs. Together with the peppers, chili peppers and peanuts in the storage compartment, there are more than two hundred pieces in total.
Then as long as I catch another hundred fish, I can collect enough materials to make a first-level life crystal and upgrade my technology!
Let’s get to work!
Fishing is much easier after the rain.
In addition, Chen Wangping's strategy today is quantity is king. He specifically targets the gray carp that are easy to catch, and if he sees that there is a possibility of it getting off the hook, he will apply a small electric current.
Anyway, if there is no electricity, there are wind turbines.
Even without wind, there are still carved treasures.
Electric shock it.
In just three hours, he concentrated so hard that he caught more than ninety gray carp, and his arms were sore from shaking them.
At this moment, Chen Wangping suddenly saw more than a dozen pitch-black bubbles emerging from the bottom of the river. They were not moving very fast, but were very deep, all at the bottom of the river.
He estimated that the wolf tendon fishing rod might not be long enough to catch the fish.
At this moment, he remembered that he had obtained earthworm meat last night, and suddenly an idea came to him.
"The special effects of earthworm meat can be used to attract special fish at the bottom of the river. Let's try fishing for them."
Chen Wangping took out the groundworm meat and cut it into ten pieces with a knife. He also took out the black beetle bait, hung them together on the fish hook, and lowered it to the bottom of the river along the shore.
As soon as the earthworm meat entered the water, he saw all the black bubbles surge up at a very fast speed.
When they got closer, Chen Wangping finally saw the true appearance of these bubbles.
They are all loaches.
Each one is more than one meter long, as thick as a wrist, swims very fast, and its body is very clean, giving a feeling of being untainted by the mud.
"This loach is quite considerate. It will definitely be convenient to clean it later."
Chen Wangping waited quietly for the loach to swim up and watched it bite the black beetle bait and ground worm meat on the hook.
The black beetle bait took effect and the loach stood still without moving.
The fishing progress bar soared rapidly.
And at the moment when the black beetle bait lost its effect, the loach opened its mouth and forcefully spat out a large amount of pure earth energy towards Chen Wangping on the shore.
When this earth energy came into contact with water, it turned into four or five mud arrows, which flew quickly towards Chen Wangping.
"call!"
The golden eagle discovered this, raised its wings and flapped them vigorously, blowing out a ball of wind that quickly blocked the mud arrow.
The mud arrow exploded and splashed everywhere.
Chen Wangping dodged the mud spots, grabbed the wolf tendon fishing rod and released a large amount of electricity directly.
You little bastard, how dare you spit on me!
The electric current quickly flows along the copper wire and the fishhook to the loach.
Suddenly.
The loach is straight.
Chen Wangping smiled.
Seeing that the progress bar was full, he slowly and forcefully pulled the slippery loach up.
【Yongjiang Loach】
【Use: Food】
[Special Effect - Bone Strengthening: After consumption, it can strengthen bones and slightly increase bone hardness]
[Movement: Swimming around at the bottom of the river]
[Supplementary information from the illustration: Loaches live in the mud at the bottom of the Yongjiang River. They are omnivorous, have long-range attacks, and their highest individual level is level three. Their flesh is non-toxic.]
[Recommended recipe: Fried loach]
[Note: Loaches with awakened abilities are easier to handle.]
"This Yongjiang loach is really hard to catch. If it weren't for the ground worm meat to lure it up, the golden eagle blocking the mud arrow, and me electrocuting it, I really wouldn't have been able to catch it today."
When the golden eagle saw the loach coming ashore, it beeped happily twice, asking when it would eat this big long fish.
Chen Wangping smiled and said, "Don't worry, we're all full today. I'll get a deep, big wok of oil and fry some loaches for you later. Now let's catch the rest first."
Golden Eagle: "Beep!"
Fried loach? Sounds delicious!
After a while, Chen Wangping used the same trick again and caught the remaining nine loaches with the help of the groundworm meat, harvesting a total of [Yongjiang Loach] x 10.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when we were busy.
Seeing that there were more and more red dots around him, Chen Wangping prepared to return.
He grabbed the iron rod and signaled the golden eagle to go home.
“Beep!”
An hour later, Chen Wangping returned to the mine.
Looking at the mine under his feet, he was quite excited.
While exploring yesterday, he had found a suitable location for his base: an open, rocky plain in the middle of the mine's hillside.
That flat land was the former working platform, with an area of about four to five thousand square meters. There was also a vertical shaft next to it that led directly to the mine entrance at the foot of the mountain, making movement convenient.
Chen Wangping and Golden Eagle arrived at the stone flat ground, looked at the specific situation, and planned to use the east side near the rock wall as the living area, the north side away from the ventilation hole as the breeding area, the west side near the exit and also close to the sun as the planting area, and the south side, where the vertical shaft is located, as a warehouse and industrial area.
Chen Wangping instructed the Golden Eagle, "Diaobao, first blow the dust from the living and working areas to the north and clear it out through the vents. I'll go to the western planting area and plant the lightning-struck ironwood seedlings."
The golden eagle took the order and left, quickly getting into the role of the dust-blowing eagle.
Chen Wangping took out the wind turbine and the two-star land improvement machine and placed them on the west side where there was more soil to check the situation.
[Current soil quality: minus one]
【Can be improved to soil quality: Level 3】
[Land improvement time: three hours]
[Start improvement]
"yes."
"Level 3 land, I'm really looking forward to it."
