Farming Games are All About Grinding

Looking at the Little Deng in the fishing game interface, Han Qiwu laughed heartily twice.

Aren't you biting my float?

Let's see who loses this round.

Back in the fishing game, Han Qiwu first inspected the size of the Little Deng.

Hmm, about two units smaller than my float.

No problem now.

Not only that, perhaps due to previous bad luck, this time when fishing for the Little Deng, a ghastly white bone chest appeared in the center of the game's frame.

"This chest looks somewhat classy, I'll get the progress bar up first, and then come back for the chest." Thought Han Qiwu, and he cautiously moved the float closer to the Little Deng.

The Little Deng seemed a bit flustered, jumping back and forth frantically at the bottom of the game frame.

When it saw the float, its ferocious nature emerged again, and it opened its big mouth and lunged towards the float.

"Dream on."

Golden lightning struck the Little Deng, stunning it.

I didn't use any skills on your dad because of his size, did you really think I wouldn't dare?

Five minutes later.

With delight, Han Qiwu acquired the bone chest, then easily reeled in the Little Deng as well.

[Little Deng]

[Price: 4000 Gold]

[Stamina +800]

[Health -300]

[Note: Contains toxins inside the immature Deng fish]

Glancing at the Little Deng's attributes in storage, Han Qiwu shook his head somewhat dissatisfied, "Just 4000 gold, your dad already messed up 6000 gold for me."

Little Deng: ".... go find my dad then!"

Ignoring the Little Deng for now, Han Qiwu rubbed his hands together, and while bypassing the angry Deng fish beneath the reef, casually took out the bone chest.

The exterior of the bone chest was made of various marine creature bones, with some seaweed growing on it.

This time Han Qiwu didn't dare take a deep breath.

Too fishy.

Open it up.

As he opened it, a ghastly white light streamed out from the crack of the chest.

As the light faded, Han Qiwu stared dumbstruck at the contents inside.

Really??

The item inside the chest was a square meter big skeleton, looking closely, it somewhat resembled the head of some kind of creature, even though only the framework remained, a hint of dignity could still be discerned.

[Water Dragon Head]

[Function: Emerge Water/Create River]

[Usage: When there are five or more fish ponds within the Water Dragon Head's range, it will merge them into an above-ground self-circulating river, which will then refresh with fish already acquired in the fishing log]

[Note: To bring fresh water from a source]

After reviewing the attributes of this item, Han Qiwu looked puzzled.

Water Dragon Head?

This is a Water Dragon Head?

Apart from the name, its effects are pretty good.

Han Qiwu had considered this problem before, with limited fish pond capacity at home, he couldn't keep adding ponds and turn his place into a big sieve, could he?

Moreover, the water quality in the ponds would also deteriorate over time.

If the Water Dragon Head's effect truly activated, this problem could be solved.

Above-ground self-circulating river?

Pretty intriguing.

Gazing at the huge mouth of the Water Dragon Head, Han Qiwu irresponsibly speculated whether, if merged, the water would come out from here?

Putting away the Water Dragon Head, Han Qiwu glanced at the already maniacal Big Deng and ran all the way to the secret trading point, directly selling the Little Deng.

Essentially releasing it.

After selling it, he hurried back to the previous spot, switched to a Gold Chef Shark bait, and cast the line into the sea.

Of course, his move wasn't to catch the Gold Chef Shark.

But to use the Gold Chef Shark to hold off the Big Deng.

He wanted to verify a hypothesis.

Soon, the Gold Chef Shark caught the bait's scent and slapped its tail over.

It initially thought it was time to feast.

Unexpectedly, this was the Deng's fish cafeteria.

"Crunch"

The Big Deng unceremoniously munched the food right in front of it, biting it apart in several gulps, then continued to stare manically at Han Qiwu onshore.

It wasn't that it didn't want to charge up, it was just too large to rush onto the beach.

Couldn't even get the chance to strand itself.

"If the Little Deng returned to the ocean, it should go find its dad." Han Qiwu continued to watch the situation beside the Big Deng from the shore.

A few minutes later, the familiar Little Deng swam back beside the Big Deng, shaking its head pitifully, it took a moment to recover before impatiently darting to devour near the Gold Chef Shark.

The Big Deng, seeing this, also calmed down and swam around leisurely, searching for food.

Due to its large size, it nearly always needed food when awake.

"So that's how it is! Then I won't be polite!" Han Qiwu's eyes lit up, and without further ado, he switched to Deng fish bait, ran a distance away, and cast the hook towards the Little Deng again.

The Little Deng in the midst of feeding: "????"

What what is this strange feeling again!

I don't want to eat!

Unfortunately, it couldn't control its urge to feed and once again abandoned the nearby Gold Chef Shark meat and swam quickly towards the enticing hook.

The Big Deng witnessing this: "???"

What are you doing!

Why go over again!

Due to Han Qiwu's adjustment, its position was much farther from the bait compared to the Little Deng.

A few seconds later, the Little Deng was once again in the fishing game.

Han Qiwu chuckled.

Playing games indeed requires brains.

In the fishing game, Han Qiwu again saw a bone-white treasure chest.

"Feeling this comfortable?"

Han Qiwu skillfully collected both the fish and chest, delightfully taking out the chest to inspect.

"Could it be another Water Dragon Head?"

After the ghastly white glow dissipated, two drops of milky-white liquid floated in the chest, looking full of vitality.

[Water Dragon Essence]

[Function: Improve Water Quality]

[Usage: Placing it in the river formed by the Water Dragon Head can significantly enhance water quality, increasing the chance of fish mutation]

[Note: A rare treasure]

This Little Deng is truly a treasure-delivering boy.

Those Gold Chef Sharks fed to its dad weren't in vain.

Made a significant profit this time.

Forty minutes later.

Han Qiwu reluctantly stood beside the reef, waving goodbye to the Little Deng.

Farewell, my money-making fish.

Hope to see you again next time.

The exhausted Little Deng didn't even say goodbye, swimming frantically back to the deep sea.

Afraid of being pulled back into that weird space by Han Qiwu again.

Daddy, I'm scared!

After leaving the secret realm, Han Qiwu looked at the extra 24000 gold in the storage and burst into laughter.

If not for the time constraint, he could've used the bait to catch it two more times!

Just the Little Deng was already worth 4000 gold, its dad must be worth at least seven to eight thousand gold, right?

Plus, the chest on its dad.

Might open to even better things.

Looks like he needs to fish more for some experience.

How else to catch the Big Deng?

Grab the materials and go home to build fish ponds!
