Chapter 362 Making the Deal
"I'm afraid what you're thinking about is two women playing with a dragon, isn't it?"
Upon hearing Lu Youyou's words, Zhen Youwei's eyes widened.
Recalling the scene of Lu Youyou smashing the bald man to death with a stool, he was terrified.
Her voice trembled: "You, you..."
His heart was so despicable, yet his face was so cowardly; it was quite a contrast.
Lu Youyou laughed in extreme anger.
Zhen Youwei, not understanding what was going on, assumed that Lu Youyou had agreed and smiled along with her.
As he was laughing, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, and blood spurted out.
A sudden, weightless force caused him to fall into the water.
The voices of people on the shore reached his ears through the water.
"Oh dear! I was just worried about not being able to complete the task, and now this has attracted a school of fish. Thank you, Boss Ji!"
"Boss Ji, thank you! I'll give you a few fish when I catch them later."
"Mr. Ji, thank you!"
"..."
Despite the cacophony of voices, every single one reached his ears with crystal clarity.
Are those people on the shore even human?
They saw him, a perfectly healthy man, dead and didn't come to his rescue; instead, they thanked the murderer who killed him!
Before he died, he felt a swarm of fish biting his body.
But Zhen Youwei was lucky; he passed away without experiencing much pain.
"You still say you don't believe me? If you didn't believe me, would you have killed Zhen Youwei?"
Liu Hui's voice revealed undisguised joy, and her eyes curved into crescent shapes.
"How do you want to cooperate?" Lu Youyou asked.
"It's very simple. You help me fish, and I'll help you identify people and read minds... The red page has a broadcast function. As long as we make a transaction through Xiao Lu, we can share the page before the dungeon ends."
Lu Youyou thought for a few seconds: "I can help you fish, provided that the fish I catch first fulfill my mission, and then you."
"Sure, I have no objection."
Following the terms agreed upon by both parties, Lu Youyou sent a transaction request to Liu Hui.
Liu Hui quickly agreed, and Lu Youyou's watch vibrated briefly and rapidly.
A red square has appeared on the home screen, with only an app icon and no app name.
She clicked on the page, and the screen played back the current scene.
On the screen, there were only himself and Liu Hui.
Two lines of small characters appeared above Liu Hui's head.
This person's state: happy, overjoyed.
[This person's thoughts: Finally! I don't have to fish for those disgusting, slippery fish anymore!]
Two lines of small characters also appeared above his own head.
This person's state: worried, relieved, happy, envious...
[This person's inner thoughts: I don't know if this is the right thing to do, but oh well, I'll just have to see how it goes. Wow, this person really can read minds! This skill is better than mine.]
Lu Youyou kept shrinking the screen, and more and more people appeared on it until it could no longer be shrunk.
She looked at the people on the screen, two on each side of her, centered on herself.
Lowering her arm, Lu Youyou looked at the distance in reality.
If we take her as the center, the circle with a radius of about seven meters is the range within which she can read minds.
The fish that Zhen Youwei had attracted gradually dispersed, and some people who kept their word actually brought Lu Youyou a thank-you gift.
After receiving the gifts, Lu Youyou opened the mind-reading broadcast page and rewound the time to when the first person gave her a gift.
One person took the lead in delivering the gift, and then a whole group of people joined in. The tiny print on the screen almost made Lu Youyou's eyes go blind.
[This person's inner thoughts: If I kill that old man, he can't kill me.]
[This person's inner thoughts: I submitted a two-star fish, what fish did others submit? I shouldn't be the lowest, right?]
[This person's inner thoughts: Sigh, I don't want to get involved, but I don't want to die either. This woman is too cruel.]
【…】
After reading their inner thoughts, Lu Youyou felt that the gifts were not so much a thank you gift, but more like "protection money" they were giving her.
hum~
The watch buzzed, announcing a new task.
[Mission: Catch ten creatures of two stars or higher within three hours.]
Because those people brought thank-you gifts, Lu Youyou had quite a few fish in her backpack.
There are 10 one-star fish, 6 two-star fish, 19 three-star fish, and one four-star crystal shrimp. That's enough to complete the quest.
But it's a huge loss.
She didn't plan to submit the task right away, but instead took out her fishing rod and started fishing seriously.
Half an hour later, Lu Youyou caught four two-star fish. Her task was to complete the task and help Liu Hui catch fish.
An hour later, Lu Youyou handed ten two-star fish to Liu Hui.
Liu Hui quickly submitted the task, selected the reward, put away her fishing rod, and sat down to eat cookies.
Lu Youyou continued fishing. Since she would receive a reward as long as she submitted the task within the time limit, she might as well spend the rest of her time fishing.
Time passed gradually, and it got dark.
Lu Youyou chose to submit the task one minute before it ended.
Congratulations! You are the 999000023rd angler to complete the task. Please wait patiently for your reward to be drawn.
The watch screen was completely blank. Lu Youyou wondered to herself, "Could it be that the task is being completed too slowly, and they're not letting me choose a reward?"
Suddenly, a red gift bag, tied with a red and gold bow, fell from the top of the watch screen.
Lu Youyou clicked on the gift pack, and the packaging box unfolded to reveal the net inside.
[One-star landing net: 20 cm in diameter, 1.5 m handle.]
The landing net is good, but its star rating is a bit low. I don't know if it can withstand the struggle of a big fish.
It seems I can't be too laid-back in the future; at the very least, I can't submit tasks right on time.
However, Lu Youyou felt happy when she thought about the fish she caught during the mission.
There are 13 one-star fish, 24 two-star fish, the most three-star fish at 56, 5 four-star fish, and 1 five-star fish.
With this inventory, the next task should be able to be submitted quickly.
hum-
Everyone's watch vibrated at the same time, and they all raised their arms in unison.
[The first day of the fishing competition has successfully concluded. Please return to your RVs to rest.]
Lu Youyou packed up her fishing rod and bucket, and after a few steps, she was able to get into the car smoothly.
A moment later, her watch started vibrating wildly.
[Player 789922: Damn it, the game didn't say the car couldn't be moved! It's so far from my fishing spot, I can't even drive over there.]
[Player 89900: Who the hell pooped on my car? Couldn't you just flush? It's disgusting! Tomorrow I'll see who's fishing near my car.]
[Yellow Apple: The vehicle shrink bubble allows you to bring your own vehicle to your fishing spot, but it only has a 24-hour cooldown period, so plan your time accordingly.]
【I Just Like You: Hahahaha, lazy people have their blessings! I was too lazy to find a spot, so I chose a fishing spot right in front of the car, only five or six meters away.】
[Player 90002: Who told you to be so brainless? The game made you get out of the car and choose a fishing spot as soon as you entered, didn't you notice anything wrong? Didn't you even think about driving to choose a spot? Even if you found the car wouldn't move, you wouldn't have done this…]
[Feifei: And there were so many rest periods in between, didn't you go back to drive the car? I thought you found out during the day, I didn't expect you to only find out now.]
[Player 921123: Not everyone completes the mission quickly... I barely had any rest time, and even when I did, I didn't dare look for a ride, fearing another mission would be issued.]
