Manatees are incredibly fast. You could say that a car running at full speed all day without eating or drinking wouldn't cover the distance a manatee could travel in half a day.
Fish and shrimp that had been knocked over by the manatee floated in the seawater. Li Jinshao's submarine extended its mechanical arm and skillfully gathered up the stunned fish and shrimp one by one.
The fish and shrimp were neatly placed into the submarine's storage compartment by the robotic arm.
Li Jinshao used some methods to induce the mutated fish to expel the venom, and then slaughtered the edible fish one by one.
He removed the swim bladder from the fish and handed it to Liu Enxi, then divided the fish meat equally among each household.
After being detoxified, the flesh of the mutant fish is transparent and looks very fresh.
According to Cheng's father, many people on the public screen have died in recent days from accidentally eating poisonous mutant fish. Xi Xi then gathered all the fish meat together and used the to conduct a toxicity test.
Cheng's mother is very particular about cutting sashimi. She prepared ingredients such as seaweed and seafood soy sauce and volunteered to start making fresh sushi.
Based on the fat content of the fish, she cut it into thin, even slices or small, square pieces with clear textures. After peeling the prawns, she first removed the shrimp veins and then sliced the shrimp meat horizontally.
In no time, plates of sushi were ready.
With the "Old Cow Driver" on board, everyone's hands were freed up, and they used the teleportation array to get to Xi Xi's RV, where they enjoyed delicious sashimi and chatted comfortably.
In addition to traditional sushi, Cheng's mother also made nigiri (hand-rolled sushi).
The hand-rolled sushi melts in your mouth, and when paired with the carefully prepared sauce and wasabi, it has a unique and rich flavor. Combined with cheese and various vegetables, it is simply irresistible.
[Server-wide Announcement: A limited-time bonus event is coming soon!]
To uphold the values of fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom in Dongli, a random swiping wheel will be activated for all members. The most frequently selected option will become the theme of this giveaway event!
Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, the game system sounded, and unsurprisingly, the "Silk," "Summer," "Di," and "Journey" events were about to begin again.
"That gave me a fright, that notification sound of the worst possible time."
"What the hell? People are barely surviving, and you're doing it again?"
"How about another round of food competition? At least we can get a few candies for free."
"What's the difference between this competition for food and the empty promise of a meal..."
"You haven't left the ice field yet. Once you leave the ice field, you'll be able to see the ocean."
"The ocean is even scarier, okay? It's full of all sorts of monsters and demons. You could get knocked away by a giant fish monster if you're not careful."
"It makes me so angry! Who knew that the Sea Town Soul Pearl was made of crystals? I would have sold those crystals off cheaply eight hundred years ago!"
"You're all being so wasteful, treating the Sea-Suppressing Soul Pearl like a glass bead. What if another tsunami comes?"
"Bo Zhi Jing is still better; the winter scarf I bought at the auction came in very handy!"
...
Xi Xi and her group didn't have time to participate in the discussion on the public screen, because at this moment the RV suddenly shook—they had encountered a real manatee!
This wild, mutated manatee unexpectedly encountered the puppet manatee controlled by Xi Xi, and they bumped right into each other.
Manatees are enormous, with bulging muscles and an aura of wildness. Their eyes gleam with ferocity, like burning flames, revealing a formidable majesty.
In comparison, Xi Xi's puppet manatee, though also enormous, paled in comparison to this wild manatee, which possessed only self-awareness.
The puppet manatee completely obeyed Xi Xi's transport orders. When it encountered a manatee blocking its way, it would only charge headlong into the road without any flexibility.
Clearly, the wild mutant manatee mistook the puppet manatee for a fellow manatee that was deliberately provoking it.
Enraged, the wild manatee swung its thick, tree-trunk-like tail without hesitation, charging straight at the puppet manatee with tremendous force, like a cannonball!
Its enormous body stirred up a powerful current in the seawater, causing the surrounding coral reefs to tremble and small pebbles to fly everywhere with the current.
In an instant, the two manatees collided violently, producing a loud "bang" that echoed like a thunderclap from the seabed for a long time in the silent ocean.
The scene reached a stalemate, with the two manatees pressed tightly together, their thick necks bulging with veins from the exertion.
In the end, Xi Xi stopped the puppet, and then Cheng Xu and Li Jinshao worked together to deal with the wild manatee.
Cheng Xu, whip in hand, drew the manatee's aggro. Meanwhile, Li Jinshao stood at a distance, using his ranged attack skills to continuously strike the manatee's back.
When Cheng Xu could no longer hold out, he quickly used the six-piece Birdman set to eliminate the aggro, and the wild manatee would turn towards Li Jinshao due to the attack.
Taking advantage of the manatee's distraction, Cheng Xu swung the whip again without hesitation, injuring its back.
The surrounding seawater became murky due to the fierce struggle. The wild manatee was repeatedly "backstabbed" by the two, whipped on the left and arrowed on the right, and was covered in wounds. Finally, it was killed by Li Jinshao's boomerang.
Men working together makes the work easier. In the end, they were very lucky and returned to the RV with two manatee hides.
The results of the special perk spin were announced shortly afterward.
[Ding! The random wheel event has ended, and results are being tallied...]
[Game Hint: Congratulations to "赴" for receiving the highest number of votes (27.1%), becoming the theme of this giveaway event!]
Please note that the "Racing Challenge" is a team event. From now until 10 days later, the average mileage of the adventurer's team will be published on the game's leaderboard (Note: This is unrelated to the server-wide mileage leaderboard; the event mileage starts from 0)
Everyone exchanged glances, and even Chu Zhiqin, who was inspecting the quality of the manatee hide, couldn't help but put down her work.
A team project? This is the first time.
[Event Rewards: Each adventurer has one betting opportunity; after voting, they will receive 1 Sprint Charm.]
[Besides the top three teams in terms of cumulative mileage, all adventurers who successfully placed their bets will receive a special gift from the event.]
Have a great time!
Good heavens, this mechanism... two words popped into Xi Xi's mind.
Isn't this just "horse racing betting"?!
Full of doubt, I opened the event page, and the first thing I saw on the homepage was an enormous progress bar that almost took up most of the screen.
The progress bar displayed the "My Team" icon, with the words "Current Mileage: 0" clearly displayed next to it.
"Heaven is helping me?!" Xi Xi immediately stood up and resumed commanding the puppet manatee.
The manatee thrashed about a few times, then, like a sea deer, pulled the boat along at high speed once more!
