Chapter 356: Penalties for Mission Failure
The task was issued one second ago, and the watch vibrated the next second, indicating that the task had been completed.
Lu Youyou clicked in almost instantly and submitted the three-star crucian carp she had caught during her first mission.
hum~
Congratulations on being the first angler to submit a task! Please choose one of the following rewards.
[Tools +1: Selecting this option will randomly grant you tools such as a landing net, fishing net, and rain boots.]
【Fragrant Bait +1: Selecting this option will grant you fragrant bait. Please use it with caution, as it will attract a large number of fish.】
[Task Submission: Selecting this option will give you one chance to submit the task, regardless of whether you provided the corresponding fish.]
Even though the fragrant bait was very good, Lu Youyou still chose to [Submit Task].
This is an opportunity to submit a task even if you don't complete it.
You have entered the rest phase.
Once again entering a rest period, Lu Youyou didn't rush to fish.
During her last break, she caught three one-star fish, but she doesn't know if it's because the grade is wrong or if she can't submit the fish caught during her break.
When she submitted it, there were no candidate fish on the bucket page, only a three-star crucian carp.
So she can hold off on fishing for now and wait until the next mission that requires a one-star fish before she can decide.
"Hey."
Lu Youyou turned her head in response.
"Do you still want the fish in your bucket? Could you sell me a few? I don't know how to fish," Liu Hui said.
At this moment, she hadn't even completed her first task, and was burdened with a second one. She had long lost her previous arrogance.
He looked dejected.
"Please? I'm begging you."
Lu Youyou was just thinking of doing an experiment, so she simply nodded.
"I can sell it to you, but I'm not sure if you can submit the fish I caught."
Liu Hui waved her hand, looking utterly dejected and helpless.
"It's okay, I'm just one item short. I won't ask you for a refund if it doesn't work."
“Okay, one thousand gold coins each.”
Liu Hui decisively threw in a thousand gold coins, which changed Lu Youyou's opinion of her.
She didn't ask for my nickname, nor did she suggest adding me as a friend through a transaction request; she simply placed gold coins on the picnic mat I had laid out.
This is a deep-seated sense of propriety, which is somewhat different from her initial sharp and sarcastic demeanor.
"What are you doing? Collecting money, and then give me a fish."
Okay, she's back to her bossy self.
Lu Youyou didn't say anything, after all, she was the one who had been lost in thought first.
She collected the gold coins from Liu Hui's picnic mat and then randomly grabbed a one-star fish for Liu Hui.
"Why would you give it to me? Put it in my bucket, it's filthy."
puff.
Lu Youyou let go, and the fish fell into Liu Hui's bucket.
Liu Hui listlessly turned on her watch, her eyes gradually widening.
"Does it really work? It's showing up on my screen! Ah, it doesn't seem to work."
Lu Youyou was a little confused. Was it going to work or not?
She asked softly, "Can I go over and take a look?"
Liu Hui pouted and said, "Come on, I didn't say you couldn't come."
When Lu Youyou walked up to her, she turned her watch outward so that Lu Youyou could see it too.
[Possesses: Three one-star fish.]
The text at the top is normal; it's also on Lu Youyou's page.
However, the task submission button is completely unclickable, and there is a line of small text below the button.
[Task progress: 2/3]
Three conditions are required, but only one condition can be met when submitting.
"Why don't you try mine?"
The man to Liu Hui's left stood up.
"My name is Zhang Dan. I've been following you for a long time. Although it may be a bit presumptuous, I still want to say, why don't you try using my fish?"
"I also want to know if the fish I bought will be able to complete the mission, but I saw that Kida caught the fish during his rest period, while I caught mine during my first mission."
Liu Hui was somewhat resistant to Zhang Dan's approach, and her expression was even more harsh than when she treated Lu Youyou.
"Just sit there. Do you need to come up and bring it to me? What do you want?"
Zhang Dan: "I also want a thousand gold coins."
Liu Hui immediately refused: "I can't afford it. Make it cheaper, or I won't buy it."
Zhang Dan was also very generous, and directly gave Liu Hui a one-star fish for free.
All three of them moved closer to Liu Hui, focusing on her watch.
hum~
Your task has been completed. Would you like to submit it now?
With trembling fingers, Liu Hui clicked "Yes." Four fish appeared on the page. Except for the one Lu Youyou sold her, which she couldn't choose, the other three were fine.
Zhang Dan returned to his seat in contemplation, and Lu Youyou also returned to her seat.
The experiment just now has made it very clear.
Regardless of whether you caught the fish yourself, as long as it was caught by someone during the mission and meets the mission requirements, you can submit it.
Fish caught during the rest period are only good for eating and have no other use.
Lu Youyou scooped the two fish out of the bucket, then packed up the fishing rod, bucket, and other equipment before getting into the car.
"Master! Long time no see~" Da Rui said sweetly.
Xiao Hei retorted from the side, "No way, the master has only been gone for less than two hours."
The little crow was angry; its feathers were all prickly.
Why! Why! We! Can't! Get! Out!
Lu Youyou stroked its fur and said helplessly, "Perhaps the adults are afraid that everyone's pets will fight, so they don't let the pets go out."
Little Crow: "What if someone bullies Master?"
"Will not."
Lu Youyou was resolute.
She's usually the one bullying others.
"Look, I just caught two fish. Would you like them raw or cooked?"
Xiao Hei shook his head: "I don't eat fish."
Da Rui excitedly splashed around in the water: "I want to give birth! I want to chase after the fish and nibble on them!"
The little crow is still angry... too angry to eat.
So Lu Youyou put both fish into Da Rui's turtle tank.
After getting off the bus, Lu Youyou discovered that there was suddenly someone else at her fishing spot.
That person was none other than Zhen Youwei.
Seeing Lu Youyou come down, he said awkwardly, "I just wanted to see if it's a good place to fish, haha, I'm leaving now."
Zhen Youwei decisively returned to his spot with his fishing rod, which prevented Lu Youyou from getting angry.
She said dryly, "Don't come to my seat next time, I have a bad temper."
"Alright, alright, we won't go. We anglers just believe in a bit of superstition. You see, our spot isn't far, but the fish in the water aren't evenly distributed... they..."
Lu Youyou nodded casually, pretending to believe Zhen Youwei's statement.
Actually, I just didn't want to listen anymore; it was so annoying.
hum~
All members' watches vibrated at the same time.
After the first two drills, are you all feeling more confident and skilled at fishing? There will be a penalty if you fail to complete the next task!
[Mission: Catch ten creatures of one star or higher within three hours.]
Note: If the task fails, the fishing rod's attributes will be randomly reduced.
Upon receiving the mission, Lu Youyou put away her one-star fishing rod and took out a three-star double-hook fishing rod from her backpack.
She put a caterpillar on each fishing hook and then threw it into the water.
