Chapter 267 Fishing Contest and Tentacle Chest
In this gray sea, this golden light shines particularly brightly.
“So bright!”
Melanie was shocked. Could it be that Chen Qi had directly caught a deep-sea lantern fish?
"uh-huh?"
Chen Qi swung the fishing rod, and at this time, there was a round golden little thing on the hook.
The body of the fish is round and bulging, like a golden spherical lantern, and there is a bent pole on the top of its head, with a small golden apple growing on the tip of the pole.
In addition, it has two big round golden eyes, which are extremely cute.
The water elf of the golden legend? Chen Qi and the water elf No. 3 on his shoulder were both shocked.
At this moment, Melanie's eyes widened and she said in surprise:
"Gold, golden apple, apple fish!!"
Golden apple fish...Chen Qi vaguely remembered the specific information of this little guy.
The golden fruit fish, also known as the golden apple fish, is a special and extraordinary fish with a shellfish appearance.
The golden apple fish symbolizes good luck and the courage to explore, and the golden apple on its head is a super tonic.
According to legend, the fruit of the golden apple fish only bears fruit once every fifty years. They will give the fruit to the sea beasts that protect them, and these sea beasts are at least at the level of the black lantern dragon.
Therefore, if you want to get the golden apple of the golden fruit fish, you must defeat a sea beast at the level of a black dragon!
Of course, there are accidental situations, and that depends on luck.
If you are lucky enough, you can pick up a golden apple fish while sleeping on the boat.
Chen Qi vaguely remembered that this small spherical fish emitting golden light seemed to have appeared when they encountered the Black Rock Mecha.
I didn’t expect that I would follow you all the way here!
Melanie couldn't help but say:
"Lightkeeper, are you using the dice-shaped prop?"
Melanie, who has had average luck for years, couldn't help but look envious. As a veteran angler, she has always believed that rare fish such as golden apple fish, golden fish and magic lantern fish only exist in books.
Fishermen who can catch rare shellfish will receive the super rare badge of Lucky Fisherman in the Fishing Association of the White Tower Federation!
And now, she actually saw with her own eyes a novice angler with incorrect fishing posture and a casual attitude catch the super rare golden apple fish.
There are indeed a lot of good things in the Sea of Disasters... Chen Qi smiled happily and took the golden apple fish on the hook in his hand.
Can I have it? Chen Qi glanced at the golden apple fish and asked politely.
Golden Apple Fish: "Wow! (●●)!"
Yes... Chen Qi smiled and used his ruthless iron hand to pull out the golden apple hanging on the head of the golden apple fish.
This dazzling golden light is so cute... At this moment, Chen Qi even felt that the golden apple fish was ten times cuter than the water elf. No, it was a hundred times cuter!
A prompt popped up in front of his eyes.
【Golden Apple of the Sea
Appearance: Shell, lamp
Description: Take the Golden Apple and gain a body beyond common sense!
Effect: A golden apple containing special powers of shells and lamps. After taking it, you can gain energy that lasts for 24 hours, as well as increased luck, learning efficiency, disease resistance, recovery, and endurance.
At the same time, after taking it, you will also gain a lot of physical and inspiration attribute bonuses, and permanent disease resistance. 】
Chen Qi's eyes lit up.
It’s worthy of being called the golden apple, it has so many bonuses.
However, the most important thing is the improvement of its attributes.
After being promoted to the third level, the extraordinary items he needed to improve his physical fitness became more and more demanding.
For example, the first attribute bonus item that Chen Qi obtained in the Witch Sea, the yellow needle, can no longer provide him with any attribute bonus except for providing energy BUFF.
Until the legend, golden apples were a great tonic.
The second is the improvement in learning efficiency, which is also a good temporary bonus. With his lamp inspiration, he may be able to directly upgrade the Dark Flame Fist to the maximum level.
"Thank you~"
Chen Qi took the golden apple, touched the chubby golden apple fish with his hand, and then threw it back into the sea.
“Woo! (●●)!”
The golden apple fish's chubby face turned red. It swam a few circles in the sea and then happily swam to the bottom of the sea.
Melanie and the other White Tower hunters stared at the scene in amazement, feeling extremely envious.
This person's luck is so good!
According to legend, if you see the golden apple fish and make a wish, good luck will come to you.
While sighing, the glasses hunter Ai Luoer silently made a wish in his heart:
"Wow! Pray for me to pass the exam."
Maggie the Mechanic also made a wish earnestly:
"Please pray that I won't gain weight no matter how much I eat."
What a bunch of good-for-nothings...Among the seven White Tower hunters, only Melanie did not make a wish.
Melanie looked serious. She threw her white hunter's coat back, revealing her strong arms. Then she took out her fishing rod worth one hundred thousand from the backpack card!
Then she took out a golden fishing badge and pinned it on her chest.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm from the Baita Federation Fishing Association, a gold senior fisherman, and a three-time city fishing competition champion!"
Who asked you...Chen Qi smelled something bad.
Melanie has been a top student at Baita Federal College since she was a child. She always has an inexplicable desire for challenges in the areas she is good at.
It can be said that Melanie’s motivation for learning and fighting is to surpass others and to constantly surpass others.
With this motivation, and her noble family of extraordinary card makers, Melanie has always been at the forefront of every competition she participates in.
At that time, she firmly believed that she was a true genius and would obtain the title of "Outstanding Student of the White Tower" that countless people dreamed of. She would even have the opportunity to join the Lighthouse and the Association of Knowledge Hunters!
Until she met An. At that time, she was young and frivolous. Even before the game, she brought her two little sisters to mock An, saying that he was a poor student who came from another place to make a living.
Then, in the competition, she was ruthlessly slapped in the face by An Aotian and became An Wuqing's stepping stone. From then on, her faith was broken, she became extremely depressed, and she was getting further and further away from the ranks of geniuses in the White Tower Federation.
Later, she joined the Hunter Association and stayed away from the competition-filled atmosphere of the White Tower Hunter Academy.
From then on, she finally came out of her arrogant eldest daughter mentality.
And now, seeing Chen Qi, Melanie's desire to fight was rekindled.
Novice angler Chen Qi has touched upon what she does best!
Melanie looked serious and said confidently:
"Lightkeeper, the night is boring. While you are on guard, why don't we have a fishing competition to see who catches the most valuable fish? How about betting fifty creeping shadows?"
Chen Qi looked at Melanie speechlessly.
Why did Melanie challenge him for no apparent reason?
Moreover, fifty creeping shadows is not a small number.
Chen Qi didn't understand. This was her self-esteem as a fisherman, and even more so her dignity as a captain!
Melanie wants to show off in front of the crew.
Chen Qi thought about it:
"Okay, it's boring to keep watch anyway. However, I've run out of creeping shadows, so I can only use money to make up for it."
"no problem!"
Melanie sat down next to Chen Qi and took out a bucket:
"Lightkeeper, many people say that fishing on a moving boat is all about luck, but in fact, it also requires skills."
"What technique?"
Chen Qi looked at Melanie curiously.
Melanie curled her lips:
"That is to pray and absorb luck!"
As she spoke, Melanie closed her eyes, crossed her legs, and made a prayer gesture!
Let’s pray!
"God of Luck, twenty-sided dice, please let me be lucky!"
"God of Luck, the apostle of the twenty-sided dice, the six-sided angel, please let me absorb his lucky power! Grant me the supreme lucky soul of the fisherman!"
"Goddess of the Witch Sea, let me drain his luck!"
"Oh, Witch of the Shell, I am willing to give you the love luck of my team members for twenty years. Please sprinkle some lucky coins for me!"
Melanie prayed earnestly.
“…”
Is this guy really an elite hunter of the White Tower Federation... Chen Qi's stereotype of the White Tower hunters being rigorous, knowledgeable, and serious has been shattered by Melanie.
After a series of prayers, Melanie swung down the fishing rod and said confidently:
"The competition officially begins!"
Chen Qi was extremely speechless and continued fishing silently.
As long as he is around, Melanie will have a good catch from fishing.
There's no way, he is a natural fishing spot.
And the next second, a golden light flashed from the sea again!
What, the second golden light! Chen Qi was shocked.
Even though he has an affinity for the deep sea, the probability of encountering a golden apple fish is extremely small.
In such a short period of time, a second golden light appeared.
Is this sea of natural disasters a wishing well?
Chen Qi couldn't help but be shocked. With the deep-sea affinity and fishing skill cards, he wouldn't really lose to Melanie in fishing, right?
"My, my, my prayers..."
Melanie was extremely shocked. She stood up quickly and tried her best to close the club.
"It feels so heavy! The big one is coming!"
Melanie's face was full of excitement, and her eyes were completely covered by dazzling golden light.
Is her luck tonight better than Chen Qi's?
call!
"rise!"
Melanie smiled and scooped up the fish.
And the moment it was caught, a huge golden light shone brightly on everyone.
What she caught was a huge golden treasure chest.
The golden treasure chest is inlaid with colorful gems.
“Wow!”
Melanie was stunned by the golden light:
"Lighthouse keeper, I won this game."
"Melanie, that's..."
Chen Qi looked at the treasure chest and sighed.
Melanie blinked.
"Why do you look like that? No way, you're not jealous of my luck..."
Melanie carried the heavy treasure chest onto the boat, her lips curled up slightly, ready to show off.
However, the next second, the huge treasure chest suddenly opened, and several smooth tentacles stretched out from it, wrapped around Melanie's upper body, and then dragged her into the treasure chest.
Bang!
“Wow, wow, help, help me! Wuuuuuu——”
At this moment, Melanie was left with only her butt and legs exposed, struggling frantically.
The hunters in the White Tower looked at this scene, speechless.
The White Tower Hunters' dignity has been completely lost.
Fortunately, Chen Qi was the only outsider present!
“…”
Tentacle treasure chest, the mimicry on the sea, one of the hunters' nightmares.
In fact, treasure chest monsters are not uncommon in the Beixiang Rift, but it is obvious that Melanie has been blinded by the desire to compare.
Chen Qi was speechless.
The professional team he formed doesn't seem very reliable.
Melanie buried her head in the treasure chest monster and struggled madly as she was tortured by the slippery tentacles:
"Hurry, hurry up and save me, or I will... self-destruct on the spot... wuwu..."
What a shame... Ai Luoer adjusted his glasses and said:
"Lightkeeper, we cannot choose our own captain."
"Stop talking, hurry up...save your captain!!"
Melanie struggled frantically, twisting her butt even more violently.
“…”
Damn it, I really want to kick that guy’s twisting ass... Chen Qi shook his head, and together with the other White Tower hunters, knocked out the treasure chest monster and rescued Melanie, the captain of the White Tower hunters.
In the end, the sticky Melanie was rescued and became a little more obedient.
However, the tentacle treasure chest is also a very rare material. The tentacles inside are very suitable for making flesh and blood clothing, and the external 'treasure chest shell' is also very suitable for making camouflage clothing.
Melanie's luck is pretty good, but still a little worse than Chen Qi's.
In this way, Chen Qi used the lighting technique to light an ordinary oil lamp, and he and Melanie sat in the boat, fishing quietly and enjoying the leisurely time from dusk to night.
Everything around was immersed in silence.
As time went by, the stars in the night sky seemed brighter, and the Laughing Moon quietly climbed to the highest point in the sky. From time to time, the cheerful sounds of the White Tower Hunters and the Water Elves could be heard.
Melanie and Chenqi filled bucket after bucket with fish.
At some point, the daylight rose again from the sky, shedding the first rays of morning sunshine.
The fog on the sea gradually rises, interweaving with the morning light to create a dreamy scene.
Chen Qi finally came back to his senses from the tranquility of fishing and was surprised to find that he had been fishing from night to morning.
It can be regarded as seeing the Witch Sea at four o'clock in the morning... Chen Qi glanced at the sleepy Melanie and said:
"I'll go cook and take a rest. The rest will be left to you."
"Cooking...you can cook?"
Melanie rubbed her eyes in confusion.
After saying that, Chen Qi picked up the iron bucket full of materials and walked towards the bedroom of his Ghost.
With the help of the lantern keeper, and the fact that he was about to arrive at the island where the deep blue fire was, he became even more excited after a night.
Chen Qi sorted out the useful extraordinary materials separately in the kitchen and put the food ingredients into the kitchen.
Most of the fish that he attracted with his deep-sea affinity were dangerous fish that required a fight before they could be rewarded.
But there are exceptions, and that is the shadow fish, which is a deformed fish of Queen Laughing Moon. They are similar to the ghost fire fish, with a layer of special shadow oil wrapped around their bodies. Once approached, these shadows will wriggle and turn into huge shadow hands to attack the surrounding creatures!
This special shadow oil can be used to enhance shadow attacks and assist in the learning of shadow skills, and Chen Qi got a whole bucket of it that night.
This was his harvest that night, second only to the golden apples.
After sorting the materials, Chen Qi took out the golden apple and started cooking.
It's time to use his chef skills.
First, Chen Qi finished making the apple slices, and then prepared the ingredients for the pie crust.
Chenqi carefully selects flour, butter and granulated sugar, mixes them in proportion, and then uses his dexterous hands to knead and beat the dough until it becomes soft and elastic. He then rolls the dough into thin sheets, lightly covers it on the pie plate, and trims the edges to make them neat and beautiful.
Then, Chen Qi arranged the cut golden apple slices neatly on the pie crust, making sure each slice was stacked just right.
Finally, take out the secret syrup mixed with honey, add the skill soul seasoning, and gently pour it on the apple slices!
Chen Qi smiled slightly:
"Secret Technique. Soul Juice!"
With the sprinkling of soul seasoning, the entire apple pie once again shone with dazzling golden light.
[You have completed the cooking of the super legendary food 'Golden Legend Apple Pie'! ]
Perfect! Chen Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he is still as good as ever.
This is not an ordinary apple pie, but an apple pie sprinkled with soul seasoning, an apple pie with extraordinary power!
At this moment, everyone who had just woken up looked at the dazzling golden light from the kitchen window on Chenqi’s boat and instantly woke up.
