Chapter 370 Little Seashell
"vomit--"
A pool of fish paste and undigested chunks of meat were vomited up, emitting a tangy smell.
The people in the front row on the shore were irritated by the stench and bent over to retch, cursing and swearing, before bursting into a chorus of complaints.
But they lost the fish themselves, so they couldn't ask anyone for an explanation and could only accept their bad luck and leave.
Lu Youyou drew the privacy curtain, but the smile on her lips just wouldn't go away.
As expected of her otter assistant, well done.
It seems that the otter assistant is only her assistant and does not bring any benefit to others.
hum~
The watch suddenly vibrated. Lu Youyou raised her wrist, and a big otter emoji appeared on the screen.
Its eyes drooped down, making it look somewhat aggrieved.
Lu Youyou clicked on the otter emoji and entered the proper assistant page.
I'm so full! They fed me so much, they're so mean!
What did they feed you?
[So many three-star fish, and even four-star fish! I'm eating and eating and eating and eating and eating!]
Lu Youyou: ……
No wonder she vomited from overeating.
But then again, those people are really willing to throw away even four-star fish.
If I saw someone else trading fish for an otter's treasure chest, I definitely wouldn't be willing to throw away a four-star fish.
After all, we don't even know if the otters are raised by someone else, or if we can exchange them for treasure chests just by throwing fish at them.
She couldn't bring herself to gamble without any guarantees.
Okay, she's just stingy.
[I'm so full, I'm going to swim to digest. I'm not in the water near the shore anymore, so please don't throw any fish away, I can't eat them!]
"Go."
As soon as he finished speaking, the assistant page changed.
Against a blue background, the baby otter is not standing, but swimming irregularly up, down, left, and right in the water.
So when it stands, it is guarding its own fishing spot.
During the activity, we went swimming in other bodies of water.
It's good; it can be used as a simple monitoring device.
Lu Youyou lay on the sofa, her arm dangling as she stroked Xiao Hei's head, waiting for the next task to be assigned.
As we waited, it gradually got dark.
Everyone's watch hummed as a reminder.
[Rest time is over. Please recharge your energy for tomorrow's challenges.]
Just as Lu Youyou finished reading the last word of the notice, the little otter's big-head emoji appeared.
It looked very happy, with a smile on its face.
Lu Youyou clicked into the assistant page, and the otter returned to its standing position, its two little paws still holding a small treasure chest.
I found this while playing in the water, so I'm giving it to you.
Click on the treasure chest and a pop-up window will appear.
[Do you want to open the gift sent to you by Otter Assistant?]
Lu Youyou clicked "Yes".
The gift wrapping was removed, revealing a worn-out seashell.
【Seashell Communicator*1: You can call out anyone's name into the seashell and have three minutes to communicate.】
Note: The conch communicator is too old and can only be used once.
Lu Youyou felt slightly disappointed that the material wasn't suitable for repairing the Five-Star Fishing Rod.
But the Conch Communicator is also good; it allows you to find specific people to chat with without having to search for them on the public chat.
Similarly, she put the conch communicator into the backpack compartment.
She ate a slice of toasted bread to relieve her hunger, and then did a quick wash.
After leaving the bathroom, Lu Youyou made sure all the doors and windows were closed before returning to her bedroom and lying down on the bed.
She lay down, but her mind was not at ease; she couldn't sleep.
pat.
She turned on the bedside lamp, adding a touch of light to the room so that it wouldn't hurt her eyes too much when looking at her watch.
There wasn't much to see in the other modules, so she looked at the public chat.
Although the people above speak with a lot of hostility and their words are not very informative, they can still help pass the time.
The messages above came up quickly, and Lu Youyou didn't press the screen to look at them, letting the chat history be pushed to the top.
She was just browsing casually when she noticed someone persistently posting the same message.
The fact that the person posted it hundreds or thousands of times means that the person had noticed it so many times that Lu Youyou, who wasn't serious about it, had noticed it.
[Big Seashell: Help...my mom!]
Just that one sentence, Lu Youyou could see it every few seconds in the rapidly scrolling records.
For some reason, Lu Youyou always felt that what that person said had a certain attraction for her.
Perhaps because she had also lost her mother, she felt compassion and actually messaged the large seashell privately.
If it's something that can be solved with a single pill, she wouldn't refuse to give it to him after assessing the situation.
After all, pills weren't exactly rare resources for her at the moment.
[Lu Youyou: What happened to your mother?]
With a soft buzz, the watch stood out unusually in the quiet atmosphere.
The other party sent a voice message.
Big Seashell: "Save, save my mom!"
It was a girl's voice, about five or six years old. Even though she was sobbing with sadness, she couldn't hide the innocence that is unique to children.
Lu Youyou became suspicious. In all her time in the survival world, she had never seen a survivor who was a child.
If this large seashell represents a survivor, it's highly likely that it's an adult pretending to be young in order to lower the guard of kind-hearted people.
If the giant seashell isn't a survivor... it might be an NPC.
NPCs don't appear out of nowhere; they always have a quest, and perhaps that quest holds a generous reward.
For some reason, Lu Youyou decided to talk to this person a little more to confirm her identity.
[Lu Youyou: What happened to your mother? How can I help you if you don't tell me?]
Giant seashell: "My mom has been captured by humans! Please, please save my mom!"
[Lu Youyou: You're not human?]
Giant Seashell: "I'm not human, I'm using a human watch to send a distress message!"
[Lu Youyou: What kind of reward do you get for posting tasks?]
Big Seashell: "What reward? That's my mother! Please, save my mother!"
There are no quests, no rewards, and the character is a monster NPC. This is just a waste of the good-hearted player's resources.
Lu Youyou was unwilling to do it, and the little bit of pity she had at the beginning disappeared.
She closed the chat with Big Shell, too lazy to bother with it.
But the big seashell kept bothering her, sending voice messages non-stop.
Big Seashell: "Please, please save my mother."
Big Seashell: "I also have the reward you just mentioned. I can give you a lot of seashells!"
Big Shell: "You and this person are both lying to me, aren't you? You bunch of bad people!"
The girl's voice grew sharper with each utterance, the hatred within it almost tangible.
After listening to all the voice messages, Lu Youyou suddenly shuddered, as if she had been targeted by something sinister.
Lu Youyou frowned, forming a line that was neither too deep nor too shallow.
Could this giant seashell have cast some kind of curse on itself?
She opened her personal panel and saw that her status showed "healthy".
But her heart was pounding, and she had a bad feeling about it.
Her keen senses detected the malice even before her character's panel displayed it.
Fearing that she might anger the monster, Lu Youyou decided to take the initiative.
[Lu Youyou: I can help you, but I don't want seashells. I want five-star fishing line, a five-star spinning reel, and a five-star crank.]
The giant seashell said, "The seashell I gave you is much more valuable than this trash. You're such a kind person, preferring trash to my seashell."
After hearing the last word, Lu Youyou felt the temperature around her return to normal, and the sticky malice of being stared at disappeared.
Lu Youyou: ……
So she wants less, right?
