"Roar roar roar"

"Cluck cluck cluck"

"Tiu! Tiu! Tiu!"

Han Qiwu woke up bewildered, questioning life.

Since when did my home turn into an animal symphony orchestra?

And a trio, no less?

It took a while for him to gather his thoughts.

Looking back at the log, the increase in fishing experience was expected, but the boost in planting experience felt a bit odd.

After comparing it to yesterday’s activities, Han Qiwu realized the only difference was that he had collected two eggs from the sycamore yesterday.

Turns out harvesting animal products counts toward planting experience too.

Makes sense.

After getting out of bed, Han Qiwu casually turned on the TV.

[Spring Thunder has caused signal interference with the television. Recovery time is uncertain.]

"Broken again?"

Han Qiwu looked helpless and gave it a slap.

[Recovery time +1 day]

Han Qiwu: "??? This isn’t how it’s supposed to work."

Thankfully, stepping outside brought Han Qiwu a pleasant surprise.

Yesterday’s heavy rain had obscured his view, but today he noticed two egg-shaped light silhouettes floating near the doorstep as if reminding him of his harvest.

Walking nearer to the sycamore, Han Qiwu collected one white-shelled egg and one green-shelled egg.

"Looks like I’ll have eggs every day now! Life quality just shot up!" Feeling cheerful, Han Qiwu fried a green-shelled egg for breakfast.

To be honest, the grassy fragrance of the green-shelled egg was stronger than the white-shelled egg, and faintly carried a hint of tea aroma.

After cooking, Han Qiwu didn’t eat it immediately but stored it in his inventory before heading out with his Copper Water Flask to water the crops.

Nearing the plots, Han Qiwu watered them while observing the sprinkler’s performance.

When placing the sprinkler, he had purposely positioned it near the potatoes, considering its yield-enhancing effect.

At the moment, the sprinkler’s four spouts were steadily emitting fine mists of water, gradually increasing the plot’s humidity.

Just watching it felt satisfying!

Its performance was quite excellent.

Someday, when the owner has more money, you’ll get some little buddies.

After watering the crops, Han Qiwu finally took out the fried egg to taste.

People, always so insatiable—here he was enjoying his egg, and yet Han Qiwu’s thoughts were already wandering to the taste of milk.

Saving up for a cow pen is so hard, eight thousand Gold Coins!

Potatoes, peanuts, keep grinding hard!

Keep fighting, keep fighting, keep fighting!

After finishing the fried egg, Han Qiwu snacked on a few raspberries to replenish some vitamins, then planned his day’s itinerary.

So packed.

Grind time!

"Whimper whimper"

Hearing Little Shui’s cries, Han Qiwu quickly ran back inside to check what was wrong.

"Whimper whimper"

Little Shui pointed at her mouth, then at her stomach, and pitifully whimpered twice with her mouth open.

Opening Little Shui’s status interface, Han Qiwu discovered her satiety level had dropped to 45.

She’s digesting way too fast.

"Little Shui, be a good girl and wait at home. I’ll go fish some food for you right now." After coaxing Little Shui, Han Qiwu grabbed his fishing rod and headed out.

Can’t go hungry, even to feed myself!

And definitely not a little girl!

Before leaving, Han Qiwu didn’t forget to send the Little Prince to gather wild vegetables and fruits.

Reaching the seaside, Han Qiwu wasted no time and started fishing.

Half an hour later, today’s haul was slightly disappointing—just 8 fish in total, weighing barely over twenty pounds combined.

"Should I try the secret realm? What if I catch some ancient fish?"

With this in mind, Han Qiwu biked to the entrance of the Ancient Mangrove Secret Realm, which was near a large coral rock.

After confirming there was no one nearby, Han Qiwu parked his bike and reached out to touch the coral rock.

[Daily Stay Limit: 1 hour]

Upon touching the coral rock, Han Qiwu felt as if he had slid into a giant bubble and entered the secret realm.

"Only one hour, huh? Seems like I’ll need to make the most of it." Han Qiwu first swept the beach for any foragable items.

The haul wasn’t bad.

[Horseshoe Clam] ×4, [Phoenix Conch] ×2, [Robey Shell] ×2.

Perhaps because of Little Shui, Han Qiwu noticed an added satiety attribute to their details—Horseshoe Clam had 6 points, Phoenix Conch 6 points, and Robey Shell 5 points.

To be honest, Han Qiwu was pretty curious about how these seafood tasted. In this unpolluted marine environment, the flavor must be excellent.

But thinking of Little Shui’s whimpers, Han Qiwu temporarily shelved that idea.

"Once Little Shui grows up, I’ll think about it. For now, let’s focus on supplying resources to her." This morning, Han Qiwu had tried opening Little Shui’s foraging interface but discovered that in her juvenile stage, she couldn’t forage for herself and could only increase satiety through feeding.

Take it slow; raising kids is all about patience.

After gathering items, Han Qiwu found a spot with plenty of bubbles and started fishing.

The moment the hook hit the water, Han Qiwu immediately sensed something unique.

Having mastered the Precision Fishing Technique, every cast of his hook landed exactly where he intended. Although his vision couldn’t penetrate the seawater due to its depth, at least the accuracy of the hook placement was guaranteed.

Five minutes later.

Han Qiwu stared blankly at the fishing rod, a dark line forming over his forehead.

The empty hook swayed aimlessly in the air.

Where’s the fish?

Remembering his experience fishing in the cave, Han Qiwu wondered if this place also required bait to catch fish.

Quite possible, given that triggering this secret realm seemed to be rarer than the cave.

Checking his inventory, Han Qiwu had some dried Cave Rat Meat and dried Cave Bug Meat from catching small spiders in the cave. Both were high-grade bait materials.

Grind time!

With four portions of each material, Han Qiwu crafted a total of sixteen high-grade baits, averaging two baits per material.

Not bad.

Let’s fish!

After affixing the bait, Han Qiwu sat on a rock near the shore and cast his line far out.

The line flew a good ten meters before plopping into the water.

After waiting about tens of seconds.

"Grumble grumble"

"Grumble grumble"

A muffled sound echoed from the water, like air squeezing through hollow cavities. Han Qiwu stood up to check the situation. Through the crystal-clear water, he saw a large spindle-shaped fish, blue-black in color and approximately 2.4 meters long, darting toward the bait.

"Wait a sec, this is the Ancient Sea—could everything we catch here be ancient fish?" Han Qiwu’s eyes lit up, suddenly realizing this possibility.

After all, Han Qiwu wasn’t like some layered pastry—he couldn’t always think that many layers ahead.

"Splash!"

The large fish snapped the bait in a single bite, its body freezing for an instant.

The fishing mini-game interface appeared before Han Qiwu’s eyes.

Excited, Han Qiwu was ready to go all out, but then he noticed something unexpected—the fish icon in the fishing mini-game was absurdly large.

The fish icon was only slightly smaller than the float.

If it were just that, Han Qiwu felt confident he could reel it in; after all, he’d handled long fish icons like ribbonfish before.

But this time, the fish wasn’t as docile as ribbonfish. Within just two seconds, it had already jumped from the top of the mini-game’s display to the bottom repeatedly six times! freēwēbnovel.com

You’re practicing Olympic-level jumping or what?!
