Chapter 220: Chapter 95: The stunning new fishing method! The live audience is thrilled!_3

"Oh, stop making me laugh, guys," said Nu Liu, scanning the barrage of playful comments on the screen, unable to keep the corners of her mouth from twitching upwards as she failed her second casting attempt.

It must be said, as a Tsinghua prodigy and a seasoned gamer, Nu Liu possessed some natural talent.

After several failed attempts, she gradually began to get the hang of it.

Holding down to charge sometimes resulted in an overzealous cast that sent the line soaring into the sky.

She switched to rapidly clicking the mouse instead, making the light column rise bit by bit, continuously tracking the fish icon’s bouncing movement.

Finally, after keeping a close eye on the progress bar until it was full.

She flung her rod out over the water!

[New Record: You’ve caught a ’Sardine,’ 27 centimeters!]

"Foo!" Nu Liu let out a pleased exclamation.

With the fish in her bag, she checked to see.

Eating it directly could even restore 13 health points.

And trading it with Willy would net her 40 Gold Coins in return.

"Wow, 40 Gold Coins! That’s too easy to make money!"

"Keep going, keep going!"

After experiencing a sense of achievement completely different from farming, Nu Liu cast her rod again, her heart full of joy.

As she fished more and more, her technique improved.

And the variety of fish she caught kept increasing.

Anchovies, Sardines, Herrings, Flounders.

The prices of these fish fluctuated between 30 and 60 Gold Coins.

When her energy was finally drained, she counted carefully.

She had caught nearly 20 fish in one day.

The only pity was that she encountered several of those fiercely struggling fish along the way.

Their speed was fast, able to break through the coverage of the light column in an instant, making it unpredictable where they would land next.

She failed several times.

But this only made Nu Liu and her live streaming audience more excited for what was to come.

They were very curious what kind of fish it was that struggled so much and how much it would sell for.

Unconsciously, from the beginning, some of the audience wasn’t very interested in a game type that involved farming.

But now, they had slowly immersed themselves into it, even feeling joy over Nu Liu’s catches.

More and more viewers were also realizing the fun of this game.

’This game is kind of fun,’ ’I want to download it too,’ ’Anyone want to play together?’ such comments began to float across the screen.

Meanwhile, Nu Liu sold all the fish she caught that day to the shop owner in one breath.

She earned just shy of 1000 Gold Coins!

After tasting success and resting for a night, Nu Liu watered the budding pea shoots the next day, and then made a beeline for the beach once more.

In Stardew Valley, there are proficiency levels for various professions. Farming can increase your [Farming] proficiency, unlocking many farm tools not available on the crafting table.

Mining can unlock more powerful bomb crafting methods and increase mining profits.

The same goes for fishing.

After a full day of activity yesterday, Nu Liu’s fishing level had risen to level 2.

At this point, the shop owner Willy unlocked the fiberglass fishing rod and bait for her.

She glanced at the price of the fishing rod, 1800 Gold Coins.

After some deliberation.

Nu Liu decided to hold off on the sprinkler for now, and buy the fishing rod first!

A good ax does not slow the chopping of wood; the more formidable the fishing gear, the higher the efficiency.

After fishing all morning and saving up some money, she bought a fishing rod and 10 portions of bait in one go.

With the new rod in hand, Nu Liu couldn’t wait to cast her line at the beach.

She could clearly feel that the new fiberglass fishing rod was more stable.

The most direct reflection of this was.

If the light beam of the basic fishing rod was only 5 centimeters, then the light beam of the fiberglass rod now reached 7 centimeters.

The longer the coverage of the light beam within the gauge, the less likely the fish is to escape, and the greater the probability for the player to catch the fish.

Beyond that, the effect of the bait began to show its power as well.

The time it took for a fish to bite seemed to be nearly 50% faster than before, saving a considerable amount of time.

After another day of fishing ended.

When tallying up the day’s catch at night, she even caught two fish that she couldn’t catch yesterday.

Eels!

Their value lived up to their difficulty, with a single one selling for a noble 120 Gold Coins!

That’s almost higher than what farming brings in at this stage.

Moreover, Nu Liu excitedly discovered.

With the blessing of the new rod, the value of today’s catch unexpectedly reached over 2000+ Gold Coins!

This nearly doubled income couldn’t help but secretly thrill her.

Now, she had the money for the furnace.

Once the furnace is unlocked, the sprinkler system won’t be far behind.

With the sprinkler, she could at least save herself the trouble of watering four plots of land every day, just waiting to harvest.

This sensation of one good step leading to another is indeed delightful.

It’s like a long-blocked toilet suddenly clearing, with the torrents gushing down in an instant!

Or like the knot in a rice bag’s cord, where finding the right angle for a gentle tug pulls out the thin thread, smoothing away all the knots.

The viewers in the live broadcast also felt this joy, as the comments once again surged.

"That’s so satisfying! Watching this feels so good!"

"Damn! The more I watch this game, the more interesting it gets!"

"Mainly, Baby Ke’s design is just too ingenious, everything is interconnected. The designer really put genuine effort into this!"

"Indeed, at first, you find that nothing seems smooth. You want to make an automatic sprinkler, you don’t have a furnace, you can’t smelt iron or copper. Then, to build a furnace you need Copper Ore, but you can’t mine Copper Ore now because your pickaxe isn’t at a high enough level, so you have to spend money to buy it, and then you run out of money. You have to find ways to make money, everything is bottlenecked. But once you resolve one issue, everything else starts to unravel!"

"This wave after wave of thrill is really making it hard for me to stop, I’m going to download it right now!"

Facing the screen full of compliments for this pioneering farming game.

Nu Liu also smiled lightly.

Having experienced the game for just over an hour, she also felt very comfortable with it.

It doesn’t have the explosive thrill of fighting and killing; it’s just a kind of tranquil leisure which, accompanied by the continuous unlocking of new features, brings a gentle satisfaction that slowly rises to the heart.

Like a pot of aromatic tea, it doesn’t shock the taste buds, yet it’s irresistibly inviting to savor carefully, sip by sip.

Moreover, two days of accumulated fishing experience.

Gave Nu Liu a sudden surge of confidence.

"Fishing isn’t hard, I feel like I’ve mastered all the fishing techniques."
