[Fisherman: An ordinary poor man from the bottom of Sunset City, who maintains a meager income by fishing and selling fish, struggling to survive on food and clothing all year round. When inheriting this skin, the first thing you need to pay attention to is not how many fish you can catch, but not starving to death. Possess the talent 'Water Mastery': You move 30% faster underwater than ordinary people. 】
Another skin with no lifespan mission.
Among the residents of the Star Spirit Realm, once there is no natural lifespan task, it seems to be linked to poverty. For example, the previous Gravedigger Skin was also a poor ghost.
Fortunately, this skin finally has a talent, which is not a complete blank slate, and this talent seems to be pretty good so far. The underwater movement speed is increased by 30%. With the fishman mask, you can rely on the high agility of the vampire skin to travel at night, and you can use it during the day. With this skin, you can also accelerate in the water.
After reading the description of the skin, Muyou looked at the remaining two gifts.
[Fishing Net (Damaged): A fishing net that can be used to catch magic fish. Throw it into the water and wait for the fish to get into the net. The net can be collected at most once a day. Harvesting depends entirely on luck. The higher the level of fish, the lower the probability of catching it. Placing bait in the fishing net can increase the probability of successful fishing to a certain extent. (Droken and currently unusable.)]
[Mermaid Scale: An ordinary mermaid scale, but its appearance indicates that a mermaid has appeared nearby. 】
A fishing net that could catch magic fish, but it was already broken. Coupled with the mermaid scales obtained from the fishing net, and the fisherman's text description, three consecutive paragraphs of description made Mu You naturally think of a possibility: Fishermen who rely on God to provide them with food live a life of one meal every day. Most of these people's life span will not exceed one year.
Finally, I had great luck in fishing that day. I caught a precious mermaid, but was dragged into the water by the mermaid's brute force. In the end, the mermaid tore the fishing net and escaped. The fisherman's bamboo basket was empty, and he was unlucky to lose it. He lost his life, without even a chance to be resurrected, and was buried under the sea...
After thinking for a while, Mu You clicked on the text of 'Mermaid Scales'.
A beautiful colorful fish scale appeared in his hand.
Mermaid scales are an important potion material that can be used to make a variety of potions such as blessing potions, beauty potions, and confusion potions. There are detailed records in Vivian's magic potion notes in the biology chapter.
So Mu You knows very well that there are many types of mermaids in the star spirit world. Not all of them are like in earth culture. When it comes to mermaids, they are all good-looking mermaids. In fact, most mermaids have nothing to do with beauty. Above, there are not too many mermaid races that tend to be cruel, especially in cold waters, and feed on humans.
Mu You picked up the scales, rubbed the surface texture of the fish scales, and looked at the light again.
According to the distinction method in Vivian's notes, he quickly identified that this should be the Nikaro mermaid. This is a type of mermaid that does not like to live in groups. It lives scattered in warm coastal waters all over the country. It is considered to be a better-looking type of mermaid and has a gentler temperament. Generally, it will not actively attack humans.
Some clues about this can be seen from the fact that the mermaid did not swallow the fisherman's body in the end.
In addition, you can tell from the size of the scales that this is still a young mermaid, which is normal. If it is an adult mermaid, why would it not make such a stupid mistake as getting into a human fishing net.
Of course, even as a young mermaid, Mu You has no idea. All mermaids are like overlords in the water. They are extremely powerful and swim as fast as rockets. Their songs also have the power to confuse people. They want to catch them in the water. Mermaid, almost impossible.
Being able to get a mermaid scale this time is already a huge profit. This scale is basically equivalent to a bottle of high-level potion in the future. Mu You doesn't have extravagant hopes for more.
Putting away his scales, Mu You looked back at the game.
[It is detected that the fishing net is damaged. Do you want to use the Warcraft materials on hand to repair it? 】
"yes."
[You repaired the fishing net with some spider silk and snake tendons to obtain a 'barely usable low-quality fishing net'. 】
[Inferior fishing nets: Damaged fishing nets that have been repaired by poor means. Fish can be caught randomly after being thrown into the water. However, when the fish are collected, there is a high probability that the fish will escape from the irregular holes in the fishing net and bear excessive pressure. will be damaged again. 】
This fishing net has repaired a lonely place. If you finally catch a fish, there is a high probability that it will slip away.
But at least he was able to get into the water. Mu You threw it into the water with the mentality that it was better than nothing.
【伱Throw the fishing net into the reef area of the shallow sea and mark it with a buoy. There is only one opportunity to collect the net every day, so be sure not to miss it. 】
The fishing net was launched into the water. There was nothing to do in the game for the time being, and he could not leave Sunset City. Mu You had no choice but to control the character to slay a few monsters nearby, use up his stamina, and log out.
But in reality, there are still many things to be busy with. After logging off, Mu You immediately entered the backpack space and started refining medicine today.
Today's potions are much more normal than yesterday. Mu You chose a common and practical first-level potion: Dreamless Sleeping Potion.
A sleeping potion, as the name suggests, is a potion that can cause a creature to fall into a deep sleep immediately after being taken. The higher the quality of the potion, the deeper the sleep will be.
The reason why I chose this potion was mainly to match the fishing net I just obtained.
The problem with fishing nets is that they leak fish, so as long as you add this medicine to the bait, and then put the bait into the fishing net, the magic fish attracted will fall into a deep sleep after swallowing the bait, so you will not be afraid of them escaping when the net is closed. .
Of course, this potion is made in real life and cannot be directly stored in the game. However, Mu You will soon enter the other world through the door. He can use it directly at that time. The rest can be hidden somewhere and waited for the game characters to pick it up. .
There are three main ingredients for the sleeping potion: 10 drops of mandrake juice, one wormwood plant, and 5 grams of dreamless pollen.
The latter two are low-level common medicinal materials, and he has plenty of them on hand. The most troublesome mandrake juice can be used by Mu You at will, so the materials are not a problem.
Entering the space, Mu You walked over to the mandrake that was sleeping in the soil. He held the blade of grass above its head with one hand and quietly took out the syringe hidden behind his back with the other hand.
The next second, Mandrake's cry echoed throughout the space...
Ten seconds later, Mu You looked at the full tube of green juice in his hand with satisfaction. A sleeping potion only required 10 drops of juice. This tube was enough for him to refine about 20 bottles.
Then he looked down at the mandrake at his feet, which was lying on the ground with a large font, eyes blank, and a look of collapse. Mu You took out his wand and released a 'crazy growth' on it.
Mandrake, who was already weak, felt that his dry body suddenly became full again. He jumped up in a hurry, looked at the regained full body in confusion, reacted, and ran away in a hurry, facing Mu You. It returned to a full alert state again.
It seems that crazy growth is still useful for plant monsters in a weak state!
Mu You nodded, this would be much easier to handle. In the future, after the blood is drawn, the blood can be restored to it immediately, and the mandrake will not wither due to excessive drawing.
Of course, pain during the blood drawing process is inevitable, and don't expect Mandrake to cooperate with him in the future.
…
early morning.
Mu You stood in front of the fireplace, staring at the crucible in front of him attentively. While fine-tuning the firepower, he input energy through the glass rod and stirred the potion from time to time.
The liquid in the crucible was bubbling, and with Mu You's blending, it gradually changed from a green concoction exuding a strong bitter taste to a colorless and odorless potion.
A small energy vortex formed on the top of the potion, and then the glow of the potion emerged. Mu You breathed out, turned off the stove, and stopped.
The sleeping potion this time was much easier than yesterday. Without the pressure of being bombed, Mu You only needed more than a thousand practices to successfully complete a hundred consecutive successful challenges.
Then Mu You began to formally refine it. After running out of the Fool's Barrier time, he did not stop and continued to consume real time to refine it. Until now, all the materials have been used up.
Mu You poured the potion into the prepared test tube and placed it on the test tube rack nearby. This was already the nineteenth bottle of potion today.
Among the nineteen bottles, four are ordinary grade, four are fine grade, and the rest are all rare grade. The effect is so strong that after drinking it, you will not be awakened by any movement for a day.
When leaving the space, Xiaoya had already arrived at the store. She was holding a thick notebook in her hands in front of the window in the early morning, carrying the book diligently, which almost made Mu You feel like she had traveled back to high school.
Mu You gave Xiaoya the Star Spirit Notebook a few days ago, so she has been studying the Star Spirit language diligently recently. This thing has become a trend recently, and many Celestial Language training institutions have appeared among the people. It is said that the Ministry of Education is also discussing whether to add Celestial Language as a new course to the teaching system.
It is conceivable that this thing will form a new popular language sooner or later in the future, and you will definitely not lose money if you learn it early.
Xiaoya is quite motivated, and Muyou occasionally practices with her. After a few days, she can already have some simple conversations in broken Star Spirit language.
However, it is not that easy to learn proficiently. Mu You had to reincarnate in the time barrier for half a year before she completely mastered the Star Language. She still has a long way to go.
Mu You didn't bother her and found a place to concentrate on making cards.
Near noon, Zhang Yang came over and brought over the 'Thousands of People and Thousands of Faces' that Mu You had ordered.
This thing is a hard mask with a fox face, but after putting it on, the fox face will disappear, and when other people look at him, it will automatically form a different appearance.
"Ding……"
Mu You was holding the mask to curiously test its effect, when the wind chime at the door rang again.
The two looked up and saw a tall girl standing at the door with a smile.
"Sister Xue, you are finally back!"
Xiaoya hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Lin Xue, then pulled her through the door.
Mu You noticed that Lin Xue came with a suitcase, and couldn't help but look at her doubtfully: "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to rent a house nearby and move here." Lin Xue said.
"Eh? Then go to my community. There are many houses for rent near me!" Xiaoya said immediately.
"OK."
Lin Xue nodded. She didn't choose the place. It would be best to have an acquaintance nearby.
"What, you... don't have to attend the funeral?" Mu You approached her and asked hesitantly.
He received news from Lin Xue last night. The old man passed away yesterday afternoon. It has only been a day. It should be said that the old man has not been buried yet, right? Xiaoxue came to the store and seemed to be ready to stay there permanently. This... something felt wrong...
"Need not."
Lin Xue shook her head, and the first words she spoke shocked the two of them: "I brought grandma's body here."
