Chen Mo's original plan was to establish a small base with Hongye Lake as the center after arriving at Hongye Lake on the first day, and then explore the surrounding area to a certain extent.
But it turned out that Chen Mo was overthinking.
Since this was his first time camping in the wild, by the time he set up the tent he needed to rest at night, he felt extremely tired and had no urge to explore any further outside.
“So comfortable~”
"Pichu Pichu~"
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the surface of Hongye Lake. Looking at the fiery red lake surface illuminated by the sun, Chen Mo fully integrated half of his body into the outdoor special moon chair with an expression of enjoyment on his face.
And what kind of master there is, there is what kind of spirit.
This lazy mood eventually infected Pichu. The Pichu lying in Chen Mo's belly seemed to follow its unreliable master, half-squinting its eyes, yawning, and enjoying this whole body. A period of leisurely time.
【I knew it…】
[Mo Bao, do you still remember what anchor you are? 】
[Mo Bao: What, am I not a Moyu anchor? 】
[I saw clearly from the last live broadcast that Mo Baozhen is the kind of person who does whatever he wants. Although he has a firm and ambitious goal, in the process of achieving this goal, it does not prevent him from enjoying life and fishing to his heart's content. 】
[Mo Bao, you have to stand up! 】
really.
It’s not a good idea to keep fishing like this. Since we were driving at noon, we had lunch very casually. Now it was time to light a fire and prepare something to eat.
"Pichu, let's find some wood to make a fire."
"Pichu~"
"Ah, you said you don't want to go, well, that's okay, then I can go alone. Just stay here and have a good rest, don't run around."
"Pichu~"
Chen Mo looked at Pichu lying on the moon chair, waving his plush little paws without raising his head, and shook his head helplessly.
I'm afraid the fans in the live broadcast room got it wrong. Now it looks more like I was infected by Pikachu.
Since it hadn't rained during this period and the weather was very dry, Chen Mo easily collected some wood needed for tonight.
"...Not all elves are friendly to humans. Among the attributes we talked about last time, weren't they divided into poisonous attributes and evil attributes? Some of them are particularly difficult to deal with, so if you spend the night in the wild, Bonfires are very important. Don’t forget them, especially in places like forests. Bonfires can effectively prevent some insect elves and snake elves from suddenly attacking you while you are resting.”
While chatting with the barrage, Chen Mo returned to the campsite carrying a bundle of wood.
However.
At this time, Chen Mo discovered that Pichu, who was supposed to be lying on the moon chair and resting quietly, suddenly ran to the lake for some reason and was saying something to "Pichu Pichu" on the lake.
Chen Mo, who was full of curiosity, quickly walked towards Pichu's location after taking off the wood from his body.
"What happened, Pichu."
"Pichu."
Hearing the familiar voice, Pichu immediately turned around and looked over.
Only then did Chen Mo see clearly that Pichu was holding a can of something in his hand. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that it was the bait he had prepared when he went out. It was originally intended to be used for fishing in Hongye Lake when he was bored.
"Why did you take this thing out?"
"Pichu."
Pichu, who was holding a can of bait, pointed to the lake next to him with his free paw.
Only then did Chen Mo see clearly.
A Carp King was slightly exposing half of its head on the red lake surface reflected by the setting sun, looking at him with its eyes full of wisdom.
"Gulu gulu..."
A series of bubbles spit out from Magikarp's mouth.
"Pichu Pichu~"
Pichu stretched out his little claws and dipped some bait into the bait tank, then put the bait into the water.
at the same time.
A gleam of agility flashed in the eyes of the Carp King. It swam its red body and unceremoniously ate all the bait that fell into the water.
Then.
He raised his head, opened his mouth, and sprayed a small fountain more than ten centimeters high into the sky.
When the Pichu next to him saw this, he shouted with joy, "Pichu Pichu".
"this…"
It was difficult for Chen Mo to understand how his Pichu got to play with a Magikarp during his absence.
Moreover, this elf King Carp seems to eat the bait of ordinary fish with relish.
【The scene of friends’ love (´･ᴗ･`)】
[I feel like Pichu is having so much fun. 】
[It turns out you can catch carp with bait. I understand. I will go to the river to get my fishing rod to try it later. 】
[You're still fishing, aren't you afraid of catching a Gyarados? 】
Glancing at the barrage, Chen Mo said slowly.
"You may have misunderstood. In most cases, if you want to catch aquatic elves through fishing, you need to use special bait. This Carp King in front of you may be a little different..."
Chen Mo observed Magikarp who was having a great time playing with Pichu.
"It's strange, why does this Magikarp spit out water for so long..."
He subconsciously used the [Detection Eye] on this strange Carp King, but the result shocked Chen Mo.
[Race: Magikarp]
Properties: water
Features: Travel freely
Race value: 200 (HP: 20, physical attack: 10, physical defense: 55, special attack: 15, special defense: 20, speed: 80)

There are actually four skill configurations. Is this the Magikarp I am familiar with?
Chen Mo couldn't help but take a closer look at the Carp King in the lake.
As if noticing Chen Mo's gaze, Carp King, who was performing, stopped spitting water, turned slightly and looked towards Chen Mo.
Magikarp:o_o
Chen Mo: (´･_･`)
Just when Chen Mo was about to reach out and say hello to this special Carp King, he saw Carp King slowly turning around and spitting out a series of bubbles towards the Pichu on the shore.
"Pichu Pichu!"
Pichu also waved his little paws towards Magikarp, as if waving goodbye.
as expected.
The next second.
The Carp King slowly turned around and swam slowly toward the center of the lake.
"Did you miss it..."
Strange encounters often happen in this world. Although Chen Mo felt a little regretful, he didn't think too much about it.
He glanced at Pichu next to him and said with a smile.
"Let's go back Pichu. Magikarp has already eaten. Now it's our turn to prepare our own dinner."
