Chapter 135 Queuing to Open Treasure Chests
Li Mingyue was still thinking about the gift when she sat at the dining table and didn't notice what her mother was saying.
"Mother, what did you just say?"
“I’m telling you, Mingyue, why don’t you stop hiring that female tutor? A girl can learn enough characters. Your younger brother is still small, and if you all go to school, there will be no one to take care of him!” Mingyue’s mother said unhappily.
Li Mingyue really couldn't believe that people's hearts could be so fickle. Was this still her mother? Did she no longer care about her daughter once she had a son?
"I will not agree to this. If Chun Ya and Cao Ya don't want to study, so be it. I will definitely continue my studies. As for Mother, you feel that you haven't taken care of my younger brother, then let Father buy a maid. Our family should have had one a long time ago, shouldn't we?"
Ever since her mother became pregnant, Li Mingyue had wanted to add maids and servants to the household, but her parents always felt that they were farmers and were unwilling to have any.
In the end, she and her sister had to do housework every day after coming back from the shop.
“A maid? How can that be! We’re just freshly washed muddy-legged people, how can we use a maid?” Mingyue’s mother looked at Li Mingyue with an expression that said, “How can you be so wasteful?”
"Then Mother, if you're not happy, you can do what you want. I just don't know if you have time to manage the household while you're taking care of your younger brother?" Li Mingyue said, and Mingyue's mother fell silent.
Recently, my eldest daughter has been neglecting her duties and leaving me to take care of everything at home, including the children, which is quite tiring.
"Then let's add a maid and a servant. The maid can help soothe your younger brother, and we'll find a servant to manage the kitchen and clean," Mingyue Niang said after thinking for a while.
"Whatever you want. I'm done eating!" After finishing her meal, Li Mingyue went back to continue thinking about what gift to give.
The next day, her father brought back a young maid and a seemingly honest and kind old woman from the brokerage.
The little maid was named Cui Liu. She was very quick and efficient, and she was also very good at coaxing her younger brother. Her mother was relieved and stopped calling her name.
My mother-in-law is also a good cook; her dishes are delicious and visually appealing.
It seemed like the atmosphere at home suddenly became harmonious.
Lin Liuyi was also thinking about what gift to give to the two people, but that didn't stop her from focusing on finding the treasure chest.
Thanks to the tips from that fisherman and the ghost reader these past few days, Lin Liuyi has finally been able to distinguish the differences between the two boxes.
The box that the ghost reader sent looked like an ordinary wooden box, while the other reader's box shimmered with a faint light.
After making a statement, Lin Liuyi decisively handed over the ghost reader's box to Zhou Zheng.
Hearing that they had removed skulls, hand bones, ribs, and a whole host of other human bones, Lin Liu felt a chill run down his spine. Luckily, he had the foresight not to touch them himself.
However, the energy abilities attached to these human bones are also very strange. It is said that some can make people instantly superhuman, some can make people have super hearing, and some can even read minds for a short time.
Lin Liuyi said she wasn't envious at all. Just thinking about how these things come from the bones made her determined to stay away from them.
Speaking of this special reader's treasure chest, Lin Liuyi has recently opened quite a few good things. The seashell that helps him concentrate was snatched up by the researchers again, as well as a conch that lets him hear songs just by putting it to his ear, coral that relieves stress, and seaweed that improves his skin after eating it. They are quite a variety of strange and wonderful things.
"Pearl! It feels so warm to the touch!" Lin Liuyi exclaimed in surprise, while also regretting that this reader couldn't join the group.
FishingMan116 is currently annoyed. Looking at the long line of players in front of him, even though he is just a bunch of game data, he is still a little irritated.
The story begins with him reading Lin Liuyi's book, in which the seafood described was incredibly tempting.
One day, he couldn't resist any longer and finally caught some fish with his fishing rod after sunset.
He first chose seafood such as crabs and snails described in the book, then used the data to build a pot and fire as described in the book, and learned to cook seafood in the book. After everything was set up, he ate it like the people in the book.
He was just data after all, and he couldn't taste the aromas, but he felt satisfied after eating them, as if he had really eaten them.
When the sun rose the next day, Fisherman 116 was back in his usual spot, waiting for the players.
"Please, please, I have to get a gold treasure chest today!" one player muttered to him.
A golden treasure chest? That's not impossible, since fishermen can control the chests anyway. Fisherman 116 did as he wished and caught a golden treasure chest, but he mischievously replaced the original contents of the golden treasure chest with the seafood he had cooked the day before.
"Wow, it really works! Here comes the golden treasure chest!" Player Ocean Pet opened the treasure chest with shining eyes.
"Damn it, what the hell is this! Isn't the treasure chest supposed to contain rare ores? Did I just have bad luck?" Even though the player was unhappy, he had no choice but to take the seafood down.
Ocean Darling logged off, feeling extremely frustrated. She had fished up a golden treasure chest today, only to find it contained seafood instead.
Everyone knows that the oceans of their world have mutated, and the creatures in them are full of toxins. Forget about eating them, even touching them will send you into a medical bay.
It's not that no one has tried to remove the toxins from marine life, after all, the ocean covers a large area of the world. Unfortunately, even if the toxins are purified, the meat of various seafood still tastes sour and bitter, making it impossible to eat.
Ultimately, everyone could only obtain ocean resources through this game. Speaking of which, this game suddenly appeared one day after the ocean mutation, leading people to suspect that the ocean mutation was specifically for the existence of this game.
However, no one has figured out how this game came about over the years. Moreover, the game is very simple; all you have to do is fish for treasure chests every day. Over time, everyone has gotten used to its existence.
Does this seafood have some special effect? After all, it was obtained from a gold chest!
Ocean Pet couldn't resist posting first: "Can I eat the seafood from the gold chest?"
"Seafood? Are you out of your mind? Do you even call those creatures in the sea seafood anymore?" Someone replied quickly.
"A gold chest? Aren't gold chests only for rare ores?"
Ocean Darling looked around but didn't get the result he wanted. He decided to take a chance and ate the seafood, but he ate it next to the medical pod. If anything went wrong, he would crawl in if necessary.
"Hey, it's okay! It's actually quite delicious!" He even discovered that his game luck points had increased.
This post immediately drew envy from everyone. After playing the game for so long, the luck point is the hardest to increase, but now it can be increased by eating seafood.
There's no queue yet!
