Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 285 - 277: Special Fish Species

The feeling of logging after spending money is just different.

With one swing of the axe, Han Qiwu felled the Thunderstruck Wood immediately, turning it into three pieces of timber glowing with lightning.

[Thunderstruck Wood (Silver Star Quality☆☆)]

[Use: Material]

[Special Effect - Lightning Attraction: Thunderstruck Wood trunks can be used to craft lightning-type equipment, granting an additional 20% lightning damage.]

[Special Effect - Evil Banisher: Using five or more pieces of Thunderstruck Wood to construct animal-related buildings greatly reduces the probability of negative mutations and increases the likelihood of favorable mutations.]

[Hidden Special Effect - Unknown]

[Note: The hidden special effect of Thunderstruck Wood requires fate.]

"Fate? Where am I supposed to find that?" Han Qiwu sighed helplessly. Nonetheless, even without unlocking the hidden special effect, the attributes of Thunderstruck Wood were already excellent.

It could be used as crafting material or building material. What’s unique about Thunderstruck Wood compared to other timbers is that it only takes five pieces in construction to significantly reduce the chances of unfavorable animal mutations and enhance chances of beneficial mutations.

This means Han Qiwu can use five pieces during the construction of any animal-related building to ward off evil.

Nice!

Glancing at the gold in his inventory, Han Qiwu decided to chop down thirty pieces of Thunderstruck Wood for later use. If he needed more afterwards, he could always come back.

Soon, Han Qiwu’s inventory lost 1500 gold but gained 31 pieces of Thunderstruck Wood.

Storing the Thunderstruck Wood away, Han Qiwu noticed he was already near the river.

This time, unlike the last, there were some red electric spheres floating on the river’s surface, swaying gently with the ripples of the water. He couldn’t tell what they were.

To be cautious, Han Qiwu walked along the riverbank for quite a while and chose a spot without many electric spheres to cast his rod into the water.

If anything unusual happens, he’d run away immediately!

Too bad he didn’t bring Little Lei with him this time; otherwise, he could throw it over to see what was going on.

Meanwhile, Little Lei lying on a tree branch back home suddenly sneezed, releasing a spark that shattered the leaves in front of it.

The guilty little one quickly darted over, catching the leaves before they hit the ground.

With one claw, it zapped them into ash.

Now the master wouldn’t notice.

I’m such a genius!

Proudly, Little Lei returned to the tree branch and perched comfortably with its legs crossed.

Back in the Thunder Realm, Han Qiwu was eyeing a mid-sized Thunder Light Fish and swung his rod skillfully to drop the hook by its mouth.

Success in faking it!

[Thunder Light Fish: Movement trajectory is charge-type, skill effect temporarily paralyzes the bobber for 2-3 seconds]

"2-3 seconds? I remember the first Little Thunder Light Fish I caught had a skill effect of 1-3 seconds. Seems like a slightly larger fish has a skill effect with one second longer at the lower end than the smaller ones." Han Qiwu noted the hidden information revealed by the intermediate fish compendium.

Soon, after teasing it a few times with skills, Han Qiwu used his patented "Mountain Steady Thunder Light Fishing Technique" again.

Three minutes later.

[Congratulations, you successfully caught the Thunder Light Fish]

Sweet!

Keep going!

Half an hour later, Han Qiwu’s inventory contained 13 Thunder Light Fish.

The impressive haul was due to the improved bobber length and fishing techniques he had developed since the last outing, combined with the clearer water today. Han Qiwu frequently used precision fishing to perfectly hook the fish.

"I’ll fish for another half-hour before heading back," Han Qiwu said, taking out a bowl of long-forgotten tangyuan, enjoying them leisurely.

With the weather heating up, he ate these tangyuan cold, which had its own unique flavor.

*Plop*

Just halfway through the bowl, Han Qiwu’s hand slipped, dropping half the tangyuan into the river.

"What a shame."

Han Qiwu looked at the tangyuan sinking into the water helplessly.

But then, through the river surface, he vaguely saw several translucent tentacles catching the scattering tangyuan and dragging them towards the depths.

This creature’s transparency was so high that if it hadn’t caught the tangyuan, Han Qiwu wouldn’t have noticed it at all.

"Taking my stuff and running? Not so fast!" Han Qiwu grabbed the nearby Red Sun rod, aimed carefully, and cast it into the water.

Perhaps thanks to the jade Pixiu and Kirin statues, Han Qiwu’s luck soared with this cast. As soon as the hook entered the water, it connected with the translucent creature and pulled it into the fishing game.

[Electric Jellyfish: Movement trajectory is hybrid-type, skill effect locks the bobber for 2-4 seconds]

"Mother of Lightning??? Where’s Duke of Thunder, then?" Han Qiwu chuckled while silently heightening his guard.

Looks like this Electric Jellyfish has some extraordinary skills.

Lock the bobber?

As the game began, Han Qiwu heard the splashy sounds of the Electric Jellyfish swimming.

Oddly pleasant to the ears.

If its swimming sounds are so delightful, it must taste great.

Catch it!

Like its appearance, the jellyfish’s icon was semi-transparent, resembling a mediocre-looking jellyfish.

Still, Han Qiwu didn’t underestimate it and maneuvered the bobber quickly to approach.

Sensing the incoming bobber, the jellyfish floated upwards with rhythmic flicks.

"Useless." Han Qiwu swiftly caught up, steadily increasing the progress bar value.

At 50% of the progress bar.

Annoyed by the incessant bobber, the jellyfish finally got angry.

You think you’re SpongeBob, huh?

Addicted to catching jellyfish?

It commanded all its tentacles to reach for the bobber above, moving at lightning speed.

Seeing this, Han Qiwu quickly maneuvered the bobber upward, trying to evade the tentacles.

But even when the bobber floated to the top of the game frame, the jellyfish’s tentacles managed to reach it.

"So long?" Han Qiwu activated Intermediate Thunder Strike at the moment the tentacles touched the bobber.

[Due to the Electric Jellyfish’s lightning resistance, stun duration reduced by 50%]

[The Electric Jellyfish locked your bobber, effect lasts for 3 seconds]

Two consecutive notifications appeared in Han Qiwu’s view.

Han Qiwu tried moving the bobber but realized it couldn’t budge.

All caught by the tentacles.

"Three seconds? So long?" Han Qiwu sighed again. This creature was too tricky to catch, and his lightning skills were weakened.

Seems like he’d need to buy special bobbers next time for catching Electric Jellyfish.

That said, this jellyfish’s control was really long-lasting.

Electric users are definitely built different.

Exciting stuff.

Judging by the current progress bar, the game wouldn’t finish even after three seconds.

Charge forward!

As soon as the three-second control time ended, Han Qiwu quickly cast a Glimmer attack.

Thankfully, the effect of Glimmer wasn’t weakened.

Five minutes later, dripping sweat, Han Qiwu grinned as he looked at the Electric Jellyfish stored in his inventory.

"Nice try, still had to come home with me!"

[Electric Jellyfish]

[Currently not for sale]

[Stamina -260]

[Health -50]

[Special Effect - Lightning Aura: The Electric Jellyfish can convert fishing ponds no larger than 6×6 into electric fish ponds.]

[Note: The Mother of Lightning awaits her Duke of Thunder.]
