My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 164 Fish Raft Completed, Physique +3

"Since you've put it that way, I'll serve some out and have Qianqian take it home tonight."

Luo Hao readily agreed; he didn't want to eat leftovers all day tomorrow.

But this made Luo Qianqian, who had a date planned for that evening, hesitate to speak. In the end, she couldn't think of an excuse to refuse, so she could only glare at Zhou Miao and blame him for making trouble.

However, it's not a big problem. After returning the fish soup, Luo Qianqian can come out again.

Oil eel is a type of sea eel that tastes very similar to regular eel, especially when braised in yellow sauce. The broth is rich and the meat is oily, melting in your mouth – it's incredibly delicious.

Zhou Miao ate until he was sweating profusely, finishing three large bowls of rice.

Recently, he has been fishing and diving, and even when he is not exercising, his appetite has been gradually increasing.

But he didn't gain weight; in fact, his figure was much better than when he first came to Nanzhen.

Anyway, Lu Xiaoxiao liked it very much. She would either draw circles on his chest or restlessly touch his abs with her little hands.

After finishing her meal and resting for a while, Lu Xiaoxiao got up and left.

Lu Xiaoxiao knew that Zhou Miao was going on a date with Luo Qianqian tonight, and she tacitly agreed to it.

Having been prepared for this, I wasn't too upset.

Seeing that she had left, Luo Qianqian packed up the fish soup she wanted to take to her parents, then glared at Zhou Miao: "What are you still sitting there for? Drive me home!"

"Okay, okay, I'll take you."

Zhou Miao, who was comfortably lying on the chair, was startled. He quickly got up, took the fish soup from her hand, and led her away from the fish raft.

Luo Hao looked at the two of them suspiciously, sensing that something was wrong.

Are we going to his house to meet his parents?

Unable to guess, he immediately gave up thinking about it. He wouldn't interfere in his sister's affairs, since she had already made her own choice.

When Zhou Miao drove to the vicinity of Luo Qianqian's house, she stopped him.

"Wait for me here, I'll be right back."

Luo Qianqian gave an instruction and then got off the car with the fish soup.

If Zhou Miao only had her as a girlfriend, she wouldn't mind bringing her boyfriend home tonight to meet her parents.

But since he has two, Luo Qianqian can only keep it a secret for now, hoping that her family will be more accepting once his career develops.

This society has always been like this: those without money strive to acquire wealth, while those with money strive to acquire power.

In fact, Zhou Miao also breathed a sigh of relief. He had never been to the woman's house before, and he was very nervous.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Luo Qianqian came running back.

After getting in the car, she asked, slightly out of breath, "Shall we go straight to the movies?"

Zhou Miao started the car and headed to the cinema: "Is there a movie you'd like to see?"

"Whatever, I'm fine with anything!"

"..."

As a result, Luo Qianqian, who usually says "whatever," decided to watch a romance movie at a private cinema after rejecting several of Zhou Miao's choices.

Luo Qianqian cried her eyes out...

The next day, Zhou Miao woke up in her rented room.

The first thing he did upon waking up was to push Luo Qianqian's head away and, with his freely movable hand, pick up his other arm, which had been completely numb.

The arm wasn't ruined by the oil cone, but it was almost destroyed by the woman's head.

After regaining feeling in his arm, he gave the baby's food a squeeze, looking annoyed.

This woman's sleeping posture is much worse than Lu Xiaoxiao's. That girl is insecure and likes to snuggle in his arms, while this woman uses him as a pillow.

When she felt hot at night, she would kick him away, and when she felt cold, she would cling to him like an octopus, making it impossible for Zhou Miao to sleep well.

The only thing he liked about Luo Qianqian was that she was fair-skinned enough to glow.

"uh-huh......"

With her vital organs being gripped, Luo Qianqian woke up from her sleep.

Upon noticing Zhou Miao's mischievous hand, he immediately slapped it away, then quickly pulled the air-conditioning blanket up higher, yawning impatiently, "I'm so sleepy, leave me alone!"

"Isn't it something I absolutely love?" Zhou Miao smiled gently. "I'll go buy some breakfast and put it in the fridge. When you wake up, go to Xiaoxiao's and heat it up in the microwave."

"Okay~ You go ahead, I'm going to sleep a little longer."

Zhou Miao didn't bother her any longer, got dressed, washed up, and left.

After buying breakfast for Luo Qianqian and Lu Xiaoxiao, he drove to refill the air tank and bought two more as spares before heading to the reef.

With four bottles of compressed air and a self-heating pot, Zhou Miao planned to complete the task on the reef today.

Upon arriving at his destination, he changed into the diving suit he had just bought the day before, and this time he also brought a spear.

If I had brought my harpoon yesterday, I could have easily dealt with both the barracuda and the giant oil scorpion that attacked me.

Moreover, the longer the weapon, the stronger it is; using a small dagger is still too dangerous.

But today went smoothly, and nothing unexpected happened.

Zhou Miao also specifically searched several caves to see if there were any more large oil cones.

In the end, I only managed to snag two hiding blue-spotted catfish and three palm-sized stone gobies, but that was still a decent harvest.

However, Zhou Miao's focus was still on the discarded fishing net. When he used his dagger to cut the last bit of the net that was tangled on the reef, the system notification sounded on time.

[The Reef's Reward: The reef, delighted at being freed from its restraints, and seeing the host's performance with the harpoon, decided to use its strengths to lure nearby fish to its habitat, creating an ecological paradise.]

[The Reef's Reward: The reef, delighted at being freed from its restraints, and seeing the host's performance with the harpoon, decided to use its strengths to lure nearby fish to its habitat, creating an ecological paradise.]

[The reef promises that whenever the host visits, it will gather all the fish that inhabit this place, allowing the host to choose freely, and will never let the host leave empty-handed.]

[Note: It takes a full day to transform the reef into an eco-park.]

"No, is this really a rare fishing spot?" Zhou Miao stroked the slightly grown beard on his chin, pondering some of the information he had received in the previous report.

He discovered that the rewards he received from the dozen or so tasks he completed were closely related to his behavior during those tasks.

Especially when you go fishing or hunting during a mission, the reward is likely to be information about fish and other resources.

The rewards for the other tasks that don't involve fishing or hunting are more varied, and some even include fantastical items.

Now Zhou Miao understood. If he wanted information on the fishing season, he would go fishing during the mission. If he wanted other rewards, he would complete the mission in one go and not do anything else.

Zhou Miao looked at the rewards again and felt a little regretful that he couldn't fish today and would have to wait until tomorrow at this time. Otherwise, he could have tried fishing right now.

These past few days, he's brought a jigging rod with him every time he goes out to sea, hoping it would come in handy if he unexpectedly spotted a school of fish. But to his surprise, he hasn't used the rod even once.

Since there was nothing else to do today, Zhou Miao decided to go home first.

Let's put the sea urchin catching task on hold for now and talk about it tomorrow.

However, plans can't keep up with changes, and the system, which had just quieted down, prompted again.

[A reward from the fish raft: The fish raft is very satisfied with its new body, finding it both beautiful and sturdy, and resistant to wind and rain. Therefore, it has decided to repay the favor by transferring the life energy it has absorbed from marine life over the past thirty years to you. Congratulations, host, you have gained +3 to your Constitution attribute.]

As the system's voice faded, Zhou Miao instantly felt a warm current emerge from his body and then flow throughout his body.

But he didn't feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, he felt quite comfortable.

It took a full half hour for the warm sensation in my body to disappear.

Zhou Miao stood up in surprise, clenched his fist, and felt his whole body filled with power.

Especially my kidneys and legs, they don't ache at all anymore.
