Chapter 6: Pet Harvesting

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Early in the morning, the sea breeze blew across his face.

Bick lazily opened his eyes. Suddenly, he heard the sound of something churning in the water.

“Huh?”

He looked around doubtfully and saw the fishing net beside the raft was shaking slightly. It seemed that some big creature had been caught.

Bick quickly got up and pulled the fishing net onto the raft.

The sound of water splashing was heard by Bick along with the sound of a big fish flapping.

Bick took a closer look and found that the big blue fish in the fishing net had a pointed fish head. He suddenly remembered the name of this thing.

“Bluefin tuna?”

Bluefin tuna was a delicacy in the ocean!

Bick excitedly poured the bluefin tuna onto the raft. Along with it, a few other things slid down.

[You have obtained bluefin tuna x1, carrot x1, wood x2, grass ball x2! ]

[Bluefin tuna: Usable. It tastes delicious, but it is not easy to store and spoiled easily.]

[Carrot: It can replenish carotene. It is great when eaten raw or cooked. ]

“This harvest is really good!”

Bick sighed and quickly began to cut the bluefin tuna. After all, the hint said that this thing was very easy to spoil!

After working for more than a minute, Bick broke the tuna into four pieces.

He placed one of the pieces on the grill and roasted it for breakfast. The rest was directly displayed on the trade interface.

[Tuna meat trade board x8]

[Tuna meat trade hay x8]

After entering the transaction content, Bick received previous trade notification.

[You have two successful transactions. You have obtained glass piece x2 and metal piece x2!]

Bick nodded. “It seems that the temptation of food is irresistible. Even such a rare resource is willing to be exchanged!”

After looking at the chat interface casually, Bick saw admiration from other players.

[Chat]

[Guess what I saw at the transaction yesterday. Someone is selling grilled seaweed. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough resources in hand. I’m still hungry!]

[I bought a grilled seaweed, but I paid with two pieces of glass. Why is this person so rich? He has so much food for sale!]

[Look at the trade interface. I saw someone selling tuna meat!]

[Tuna? Did I hear it wrongly? That’s a delicacy on Earth! ]

[Boss! The tuna seller! If you see this message, can you take me as your underling?]

Bick shook his head, thinking that although he could fill his stomach, he did not plan to have a few more mouths to share the food with.

Turning off the chat interface and putting the slate aside, Bick suddenly remembered that he had been busy collecting fish nets all morning and had yet to sign in!

[Ding! Daily check-in successful!]

[Acquired treasure-seeking seagull x1!]

“Treasure-seeking seagull? I can be rewarded with this kind of thing?”

Bick was slightly stunned, and then he saw the introduction of the reward.

[Treasure-seeking seagull]

[Level: unknown]

[Explanation: If you treat treasure-seeking seagull well, it will become your best friend and help you do a lot of unexpected things!]

Seeing such an introduction, Bick was still a little confused. What level was the unknown?

Moreover… where was the treasure-seeking seagull? It wasn’t directly given  to him!

“Ou, Ou…”

Suddenly, a clear bird’s call came from afar.

Bick looked up and saw a pure white seagull really appeared not far away. It was flapping its wings and sliding toward the raft.

“It’s you?”

Seeing the seagull soaring in the sky, free and at ease, Bick waved at it excitedly.

The next moment, the seagull flapped its wings and landed on the side of the raft, looking at him with its small eyes.

Then, it let out two cries of desire, as if saying, “I’ve finally found you!”

Then, the seagull jumped and flapped its wings, landing directly on Bick’s shoulder.

“Are you so sensible?”

Bick felt the weight on his shoulder and exerted a little strength.

This should be a young seagull, which was not much bigger than a pigeon. Its wings were white, and its tail was a little gray-black. It had a slightly hooked long beak, and it looked very heroic!

Now, Bick wore a triangular sailor hat on his head, and a handsome seagull was lying on his shoulder, looking very much like a sailor who had been in the sea for many years.

Stroking the soft feathers of the treasure-seeking seagull, Bick asked, “Can I give you a name?”

“Ou ou ou! Ou ou ou!”

The treasure-seeking seagull let out expectant cries and flapped its wings excitedly.

“If you’re so smart, then you can be called Einstein!”

“Ou ou ou!”

Einstein nodded his head hard and approved this name.

“Since you’re here, I definitely won’t starve you. How many sea fish do you eat a day?”

“Ou! Ou! Ou!”

Einstein made three short calls, and Bick nodded. “Got it. Three, right? But… you have to work before you can eat. Otherwise, both you and I will starve!”

Einstein nodded, as if he understood Bick’s meaning. He jumped down from his shoulder and used his mouth to pick up the plastic hook. He even opened his mouth to make a sound, as if to show that he was very capable.

He was unexpectedly smart. He did not expect Einstein to have such a use.

In the future, if there were any important materials that he wanted to pick up, he could just let Einstein hold the plastic hook in his mouth and hang it on the material. Then, he could pull it back himself.

There would be no error rate at all!

Bick squatted down and patted Einstein’s head. He nodded in satisfaction. “Then let’s work together today. After we finish, I’ll give you fish to eat!”

Saying this, Bick pointed at the fishing net on the side. “After you’re done, pull the net up!”

“Ou Ou!”

Einstein nodded vigorously. Suddenly, his gaze looked elsewhere. He flapped his wings vigorously and let out a series of cries.

“Ou ou ou ou!”

“What’s wrong?”

Bick looked over in confusion. Suddenly, he was full of energy!

A new wave of ocean supplies appeared not far away!

He immediately called out to Einstein, “See that can? Hook it!”

“Ou ou!”

Einstein called out twice and flew towards the can that was already close by. In just a moment, the plastic hook was hooked onto it.

Bick pulled hard, and a can flew onto the small wooden raft.

“Well done!”

Bick praised Einstein, and his gaze fell on the few round wooden barrels in front of him. It was time for the Easter eggs!

The first wooden barrel had already entered the distance that could be hooked, and Bick called out to Einstein.

“Hook that wooden barrel!”

“Yes! Well Done!”

“Einstein, I’m thinking whether I should reward you with extra food!”
