Farming Games are All About Grinding

Very quickly, Han Qiwu arrived next to the big rock outside the secret realm. Seeing no one was paying attention, he parked his vehicle and reached out to push the rock.

[Time available to stay today: 1.5 hours]

"One and a half hours, that's decent. I should be able to make some money," Han Qiwu said as he walked to the secret realm trading point. He bought some double-humped shark and golden chef shark bait, planning to alternate between fishing for these two kinds of sharks. This would help accumulate energy for the intermediate lightning spell. He decided to hold off on fishing with the sword for now.

Let's give it a chance to live!

After buying the bait, he sat on the reef and took out [Red Sun] to start baiting, thinking to himself, "The Red Sun is indeed good, but the Golden Sun seems better. I have quite a bit of money on hand now, so I should spend wisely at the peddler's later. Unless it's something really suitable, I won't buy it. The sooner I buy the Golden Sun, the sooner I can challenge the Dunkleosteus!"

Let's fish!

Twenty minutes later, Han Qiwu rubbed his numb butt and thought, "Please, dear You Chao clan, don't be so diligent as to refresh my long-standing chair!"

He didn't want to stand out too much!

Especially not in the lumbar disc department!

Today, his hands were quite steady. In twenty minutes, he had already caught eight sharks of two different kinds.

Keep going.

Half an hour later, Han Qiwu stood up, packed away the Red Sun, and ran excitedly towards Turtle Beach.

Going to catch turtles now!

Of course, before heading to Turtle Beach, he didn't forget to check the crab traps first.

"It seems like it's been several days since I last had seafood. I'll just grill a lobster to eat later," Han Qiwu thought to himself as he hauled the crab trap.

If you eat seafood every day, it's nothing special, but if you haven't had it for a while, you start craving that fresh taste.

As luck would have it, the first crab trap he pulled up had a big claw-waving lobster in it.

But what Han Qiwu didn't expect was that this lobster had a blue tint to its shell.

The shade of blue was somewhat like the lapis lazuli blue he saw that morning, incredibly clear.

"A blue lobster? Am I that lucky?" Han Qiwu exclaimed in surprise as he dragged the crab trap to shore and carefully took out this giant blue lobster.

Now, he had seen blue lobsters once before in a restaurant. This thing is said to appear once in a few million lobsters, mainly due to genetic mutation leading to the production of an excess of a certain protein, which then forms the blue compound, astaxanthin.

But even that lobster only had a few parts of its shell showing a bluish light.

Nothing compared to this completely blue one.

[Female Blue Lobster]

[Can be farmed]

[Laying Time: Over 2 hours]

[Animal Product: Blue Lobster]

[Stamina +500]

[Health +700]

[Note: The taste of blue lobster is exceptionally delicious!]

A female lobster?

Laying time is just two hours?

Han Qiwu sighed helplessly.

Looks like I can't eat it today.

Never mind, I'll hold on, and in the future, I'll eat blue lobster every day!

After putting away this female blue lobster, it seemed that Han Qiwu's luck had run out. The next few traps only brought up pieces of wood and stone.

Luckily, his mindset was quite positive.

If it breaks, so be it. There's a trash recycler at home anyway!

After finishing with the crab trap, Han Qiwu went over to Turtle Beach, armed with a cast net, and started choosing targets to net.

On Turtle Beach, many half-armored turtles were busy digging holes.

After observing for a while, Han Qiwu didn't see any other species of turtle appear.

He speculated that it might be similar to the hidden rules at sea, where you need a certain number of initial turtles to unlock other turtle species.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh"

While he was picking, a half-armored turtle about twenty meters away suddenly stretched its neck, stood up, and then spun like a little top, drilling rapidly into the ground.

"Wow, impressive work," he said.

"You're the one," he decided.

Han Qiwu had no intention of buying a ticket to watch the performance; he was ready to catch the performer instead.

"Whoosh"

After leveling up his Reinforcement Technique, he could clearly feel that his strength control had improved.

The net seemed the same, but this time it flew faster and more steadily. Once it reached the working half-armored turtle, it spread open mid-air and tightly wrapped around it.

Trigger [Fishing Game]!

Smooth!

Moreover, after entering the fishing game, Han Qiwu was surprised to find that the progress bar representing a successful catch had already reached halfway!

"Could it be that the more precise the cast net outside, the more progress is gifted in the game?" Han Qiwu was delighted at this thought. This would significantly increase the success rate of catching turtles.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Han Qiwu used the attached skill of the nylon hand-cast net: Slowdown, on the half-armored turtle that was trying to dig and escape.

A grayish-yellow light shot from the nylon hand-cast net and landed around the half-armored turtle, making it move at half-speed, as if suddenly slowed.

Catch it while it's down!

"Swoosh"

After aiming, Han Qiwu threw out another hand-cast net.

The slowed half-armored turtle, not willing to give up, tried to activate its sand escape skill, drawing a whirlpool beneath it before attempting to dive in.

"Ugly and wishful thinking!"

The flying nylon hand-cast net landed on the half-armored turtle early, and completely covered it.

Got it!

A few seconds later, the progress bar for a successful catch was at its peak.

[Congratulations, you've caught a female half-armored turtle and obtained a half-armored turtle egg]

[Half-Armored Turtle Egg]

[Non-Hatchable]

[Stamina +150]

[Health +75]

[Note: Most half-armored turtle eggs don't hatch, so enjoy it!]

"So, the half-armored turtle eggs are obtained this way," Han Qiwu smiled slightly and carefully took out the turtle from his storage to examine, trying to remember its characteristics.

I'll try to catch only females in the future!

How great is it to buy one, and get one free!

After noting down the features, Han Qiwu took another look at the half-armored turtle egg.

The half-armored turtle egg is about a size larger than a regular chicken egg, completely white, somewhat soft to the touch, and looks like a volleyball, with high transparency.

"I'll go home and try it boiled later."

After keeping the turtle egg, Han Qiwu continued to look for the next target on Turtle Beach.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh"

In just over twenty minutes, he caught five half-armored turtles!

Ten thousand gold in hand!

Moreover, Han Qiwu discovered that, unlike the sea, on Turtle Beach, the more you fish, the more likely it is to disrupt the activity of the surrounding half-armored turtles. So, after catching a lot, fewer turtles were showing above the sand.

"Next time, I'll catch three or four and leave, can't overfish."

Again, sustainable development is key!

Speaking of sustainable development, I wonder how many pine nuts that hard-working squirrel has gathered.

I'll check its performance later; if it's good, I'll leave it two more pine nuts.

No more than that.

When it's full, it won't want to work anymore.

The squirrel diligently transporting large pine nuts suddenly sneezed. It rubbed its nose, bewilderedly looking around and thinking maybe the mist had changed?

Why did it make me sneeze?!

Better speed up!!

I'll move three more today!

Standing at the secret realm trading point, Han Qiwu was selling fish, one by one.

[Through the trade, you earned 28,800 gold]

During the sale, the half-armored turtles also benefited from the fisherman's profession bonus.

Smooth sailing.

After leaving the secret realm, Han Qiwu drank some iced birch sap and rode towards the peddler's place.

Hope the little guy wasn't too impatient in waiting?

At least he has a pig to keep him company!
