Farming Games are All About Grinding

"Eating this catfish can increase fire resistance?" Han Qiwu was pleasantly surprised.

Little Shui is really considerate.

This came just in time!

"Gulu gulu"

A sound of mucus friction suddenly came from underneath the wetland catfish.

"What is that?" Han Qiwu thought to himself, grabbed a tree branch, and stirred it around, discovering that there were six or seven large yellow eels with slightly yellow bodies beneath the catfish.

Although eels look a lot like loaches, they are much more nutritious than loaches, with the saying that summer eels are better than ginseng.

[Wetland Eel]

[Stamina: +70]

[Health: +40]

[Special Effect - Moisture: May increase fire resistance when consumed]

[Note: Do not investigate other uses of eels!]

Han Qiwu glanced at the attributes.

He was silent for a moment.

Forget it, ignore that note.

Unexpectedly, eels also have a chance to increase fire resistance.

Wetlands are indeed treasure lands!

After exploring Mist Forest, head into the wetlands to see what's there.

Han Qiwu squatted down and counted carefully, there were a total of 12 wetland catfish and 7 eels.

"Nineteen in total, if I eat them all, I should be able to increase fire resistance at least once." Han Qiwu carried a net of aquatic plants and easily tossed all twelve wetland catfish into the Hospital River.

These catfish were covered in mud and had a muddy smell.

They need to be kept for a few days to purify.

The wetland catfish regained their vitality as soon as they entered the Hospital River, swaying their heads as they drilled into the water. With each drink of the river water, they expelled a large amount of impurities from the wetland.

Of course, these impurities were quickly flushed away by the faucet.

After releasing the wetland catfish, Han Qiwu, carrying the net, walked to the side of the rice field, wanting to see if the wetland eels could be raised there.

Although he hadn't found the rice flower fish yet, trying the rice flower eel shouldn't taste too bad either.

[Wetland Eel Successfully Released]

It worked indeed!

Han Qiwu became enthusiastic and picked up another wetland eel to place in the same rice field.

[Only one eel can be released per rice field]

Alright then.

After releasing all the wetland eels, Han Qiwu called over the Little Prince and asked, "Little Prince, did you get all these from the wetland garden?"

"Roar!"

The Little Prince proudly patted his chest, then vividly narrated to Han Qiwu how they caught these catfish and eels.

The Little Prince spoke with great enthusiasm.

Unfortunately, Han Qiwu didn't understand.

"Okay, not bad," Han Qiwu tried his best to mimic the principal's perfunctory summary after listening to a speech contest.

It was time to reward after the praise.

Han Qiwu picked up Little Shui, reached behind, and pulled out six misty fruits, three for each pet.

"You did well this time, take your time eating."

"Crunch."

The Little Prince got the misty fruit, didn't even look at it, and tossed one directly into his mouth, crunchily chewing away.

Seeing how delicious the Little Prince found it, Little Shui, who originally didn't like fruit, also picked up a misty fruit and tried eating it.

"Ying ying ying!"

The taste of the misty fruit quickly won over Little Shui, who happily nibbled on it.

After gulping down three misty fruits whole, the Little Prince burped,

"Whoosh"

A wisp of mist came out of his mouth, looking amusing.

Seeing this, Little Shui got anxious too, trying hard to burp with mist but failing, it looked quite funny.

"Perform well in the future, and I'll reward you with these delicious treats again next time," Han Qiwu laughed, "Go play."

After finishing these tasks, Han Qiwu was hungry too. Looking at the situation in the Hospital River, Han Qiwu decided to eat something simple today.

Make a mushroom soup hotpot and swish some fish slices in it.

There are just so many fish at home, might as well try them all.

After making the decision, he went back to the kitchen and made a broth with the mushrooms he had picked today, tossed in a piece of pork belly, and started boiling it.

Once the broth was ready, Han Qiwu selected three types of fish, small yellow croaker, tiger spot fish, and mandarin fish, and sliced them into thin slices like cicada wings.

After the pot started to emit a fragrant aroma, he made a spicy sauce with pickled peppers, leek flowers, and wild garlic.

All set, time for hotpot!

Just ten seconds in the pot for a fish slice, and it's perfectly cooked, ready to eat. The mushroom fragrance beautifully envelops the fish slice under the melding of the pork belly, and with one bite, the umami of the mushroom and the freshness of the fish become one, so delicious your tongue feels like falling into your stomach!

It was incredibly tasty.

After enjoying some of the original flavors, he dipped into the sauce, and with one bite, the various spicy flavors hit at once, the thrill is like riding a roller coaster, one high drop after another!

Even tastier!

After enjoying the spicy flavor for a while, he took out the freshly produced red milk from the morning and happily took a sip.

The rich milk fragrance reclaimed the taste bud high ground, providing a unique sense of satisfaction.

The taste of red milk is quite distinctive.

"I might try making yogurt out of the milk next time, the three types of milk should all taste different."

Leisurely, Han Qiwu spent more than an hour finishing this fish slice hotpot.

"Feels really good."

With a full belly, Han Qiwu stretched and walked towards the sycamore tree.

Whether he could get new shoes depended on the chicken meat.

Upon entering the sycamore tree, Han Qiwu immediately spotted the two Flame Bird legs displayed prominently.

"Alright, two at once?" Han Qiwu happily walked over to take them, casually glancing at the attributes as he did, and smiled.

[Not fresh but not spoiled Flame Bird Legs]

[Purpose: Ingredients]

[Special Effect - Heat of the Moment: Can enhance the fire attack effect by 20% after consumption]

[Note: The special effects of stored Flame Bird legs will diminish over time]

Both Flame Bird legs had the same attributes.

"Not fresh but not spoiled Flame Bird legs?" Han Qiwu quietly shook his head.

He visits this sycamore every day, there's no chance he'd see Flame Bird legs and not take them.

Then there's only one possibility.

The chicken meat secretly hid the Flame Bird legs.

Alright then.

Hiding them is a good thing, indeed.

Hopefully he's stashed away five.

Three would do if not, they can still make up five with the two on him.

"Oh chicken meat, producing two Flame Bird legs at once, you've worked hard," Han Qiwu slowly walked over, making a moved expression while speaking, reaching out his hand as he did.

"Coo coo"

The chicken meat quickly shook its head, making an 'it's all my duty' look, weakly extending a wing to shake Han Qiwu's hand, secretly delighted inside.

Another success!

This time the owner should give me even more delicious treats.

"Whoosh"

But what the chicken meat didn't expect was that Han Qiwu swiftly grabbed its bird leg, hanging it upside down directly.

"You misunderstood, what I meant was, you've been working hard hiding those drumsticks lately," Han Qiwu said with a smile.

Chicken meat: "(,,#゜Д゜)

Have I been found out?
