Raft Survival: Fishing for Mermaids

The water was still flowing, but the water was still flowing.

While waiting for Su Yun's feedback, Lin Chen continued to explore the sea.

Finally, his hard work paid off. After paddling about 5 kilometers, Lin Chen finally encountered the first barrel treasure chest in the survival process!

Lin Chen threw out the plastic hook, but the hook passed directly over the edge of the barrel and could not find a place to hook.

"It seems that the barrel treasure chest can only be grabbed by hand."

Lin Chen paddled the raft, came to the barrel, and dragged the barrel onto the raft.

【Rotten Barrel Treasure Chest: After opening, there is a 99% probability of obtaining low-quality items and a 1% probability of obtaining ordinary quality items. 】

"What is the difference between a barrel treasure chest and a treasure chest?"

Lin Chen remembered that the treasure chest obtained by killing the white shark last night was in the shape of a box.

With doubts, he opened the barrel treasure chest.

[Open the rotten barrel treasure chest and get rice ball*1, bait base*3, stone dagger (poor quality)]

[Unboxing 2/10]

"Last night's treasure chest opened up ocean coins and blueprints, but this one has no money."

"Maybe the main difference between the two is the ocean coins."

Lin Chen doesn't know the function of ocean coins yet, but as a currency, it will definitely play a role in the future.

He began to check the harvest this time.

[Bait base: used to make bait. It can be placed on the production table with other materials to make bait. The quality of the bait depends on the quality of the added materials. No blueprint is required when making bait. 】

[Description: She welcomes everyone to merge with her, but they will eventually lose themselves. 】

[Stone dagger (poor quality): 0.3m long, attack power 9. A dagger made of stone. Durability: 40/40]

[Description: Either I break or you get trapped]

Both items are useful to Lin Chen, especially the bait base.

As for the stone dagger, although its attack power is not good, it is short and convenient for cutting things than a two-meter-long spear.

Lin Chen took a bite of the rice ball.

"Not delicious."

In terms of deliciousness, these inferior foods are a solar system away from excellent fish meat.

Lin Chen threw the rice ball on the shelf.

The price is one wooden board.

"Ding Di"

Su Yun: "Got it!"

[Su Yun: Directed transaction application]

[Seaweed*40⇄None]

Su Yun: "Take it quickly, take it quickly."

Lin Chen: "Thank you."

After getting the seaweed, Lin Chen quickly returned along the buoy.

Back to the base raft, Lin Chen quickly put the production drawings on the production table and started learning.

After making 18 wooden spears, Lin Chen put the fish bones, seaweed, iron blocks, and ropes on the crafting table.

[Production completed, "Lucky Guarantee" effect activated! Quality +3! ]

[Fishing rod (excellent): You can fish without bait, and a fish will bite the hook within 10 minutes. When the biting fish is of excellent quality or below, you will definitely catch the fish successfully; when it is of excellent quality, the success rate is 60%; when it is of perfect quality or above, the success rate is close to zero, and there is a greater risk of breaking the rod. When fishing, there is a very small chance of triggering a lucky critical hit, and the hook will hit the target as soon as it is hooked, and the fish will definitely be caught successfully. Durability: 8000/8000]

[Description: Catch them all as black carp. ]

"Nice! One shot!"

+2 is enough to satisfy Lin Chen, and +3 is enough to make Lin Chen excited!

With a fishing rod, the next step is to make bait.

Lin Chen made 18 wooden spears again, then put the bait base on the production table and took out a piece of thunder eel meat.

[Production completed, "Lucky Guarantee" effect activated! Quality +1! ]

[Obtain: Perfect Bait*2]

[Perfect Bait: Use this bait to fish, with a small probability of attracting perfect quality fish to bite the hook, and a high probability of attracting excellent and lower quality fish to bite the hook. ]

More than half of the thunder eel meat disappeared, and one-third of the bait base remained.

Obviously, the remaining thunder eel meat was not enough to make a complete bait.

Lin Chen put away the bait base, and then came to the raft excitedly, and cast the hook! Fishing!

He wanted to catch a perfect fish!

This time, he did not use the perfect bait, but directly used the remaining fish meat of the thunder eel as bait.

But to Lin Chen's disappointment, he fished three times in a row, used up the thunder eel meat, and did not attract a single excellent fish, and all the fish he caught were inferior fish.

"Could it be that what the fishermen in the public chat said was wrong?"

"Or is it because the quality of the Thunder Eel is too high, and the experience summarized by the fishermen is not applicable?"

Lin Chen decided to try again with excellent fish meat, but the result was still

Of course, only inferior fish took the bait.

For the last two casts, Lin Chen simply gave up using bait and threw the hook empty.

The willing ones took the bait.

[Catching 9/10]

After more than an hour, it was finally time for the lucky bottom line.

Lin Chen put on the perfect bait and threw the hook with anticipation.

One minute...

Two minutes...

Three minutes...

Since the introduction of the perfect bait said "high probability of attracting fish of quality below excellent to bite the hook", Lin Chen was not sure how "lower" the word "below" would be.

So while waiting to take the hook, he was very nervous.

Suddenly, the fishing rod moved!

Lin Chen quickly alerted and pulled the fishing rod.

[Fishing completed, "Lucky bottom line" effect activated! Quality +2! ]

[Obtained: Xi Mei Mermaid (Legendary)]

[Xi Mei Mermaid: Legendary. This does not seem to be an ordinary mermaid. 】

【Description: This race has many names, such as Soul-stealing Succubus, Nightmare of the Sea, Death Songstress...】

"Fuck! Mermaid!"

Lin Chen looked at the humanoid creature under the hook and suddenly widened his eyes in shock.

This mermaid has a plump and well-proportioned figure, with curves that rise and fall like the waves.

Slender waist and big boobs, that's what this mermaid has.

It's just that the two big boobs were blocked by two shells at this time, which is a pity.

Her mouth seemed to be hooked by the hook, and she became a pervert, but she quickly reached out to take the hook off and looked in the direction of Lin Chen.

Xi Mei Mermaid swam towards Lin Chen.

When he saw that her lower body was a beautiful and slender fish tail, it was inevitable that Lin Chen felt a little regretful.

When the mermaid approached, Lin Chen could see her face clearly.

She looked very young, with black hair falling like a waterfall, rosy lips, jade-like nose, and autumn eyes. There is a unique charm between her eyebrows.

There is a thin layer of light golden scales on both sides of her neck, which adds a unique charm to her beauty.

At this moment, the mermaid stood in the water, like a lotus out of the bath, and more like a fairy from heaven, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

"嘤嘤嘤."

The mermaid pointed at the excellent grilled fish hanging on Lin Chen's waist.

Lin Chen immediately understood, took off the grilled fish and threw it to the mermaid.

The mermaid took the grilled fish, chewed it carefully, and smiled happily.

With a smile, Lin Chen's eyes were almost fixed on her face.

He suddenly remembered the system's description of the Ximei mermaid, and immediately closed his eyes, muttering: "Color is emptiness, emptiness is color..."

This mermaid is of legendary quality. Judging from the content of the description, she is obviously not as simple as she looks on the surface, and Lin Chen dare not approach rashly.

He took a few deep breaths, prepared himself mentally, and then opened his eyes again.

The mermaid was looking at him with a puzzled look.

"Hello, do you understand me? If you do, nod."

The mermaid looked at the grilled fish in her hand and nodded.

She is indeed intelligent.

But she can't speak Chinese.

Judging from the mermaid's current performance, if she wants to follow him, she must be willing.

Lin Chen doesn't have the confidence to force a legendary mermaid to be his pet.

So...

Lin Chen: "Do you like this fish? If you like it, I can grill it for you every day. As long as you follow me."

"If you agree, nod, if you don't agree, shake your head."
