Keqing poked the pufferfish's belly, and immediately, the pufferfish inflated like a balloon.
So cute~
Keqing's bright eyes seemed to sparkle like stars.
"Jack, let's not eat this fish. Can we keep it at home instead?"
"Don't worry, even if you didn't say anything, I wasn't planning to eat it. The internal organs of pufferfish contain neurotoxins, which cannot be removed by high temperatures like protein toxins. Only chefs familiar with its anatomy can handle it. We probably won't be able to enjoy it."
"Hmm, I don't understand."
Keqing blinked her eyes innocently, showing her adorable side.
"Ahem, in short, let's keep fishing. I believe there's definitely more than just pufferfish in this lake!"
Jack's expression was serious, but his heart was pounding.
This woman was so damn sweet!
Time always passed quickly while fishing. Several more hours went by, and dusk arrived.
Jack's face, however, turned gloomy even faster than the night.
Yes, he did catch other things besides pufferfish.
For example, seaweed, a damaged bow, a damaged fishing rod, a damaged leather hat, etc., but not a second type of edible fish.
Keqing had already put away her fishing rod at this point.
Her harvest, however, was quite normal. Besides pufferfish and the miscellaneous items mentioned above, she had at least a dozen salmon and cod.
Thump!
The float sank once again.
Jack held his breath and reeled in his line quickly with a perfectly executed motion.
However, after the drop came out of the water, a broken bow, shimmering with a faint purple light, appeared before his eyes.
"Another enchanted bow, what a piece of trash."
He had already fished out a dozen of these enchanted bows and had no desire to even look at them.
"Infinity, that seems to be a new enchantment property, doesn't it?"
Keqing picked up the enchanted bow Jack had discarded and exclaimed.
"Infinity?!"
Jack reeled in his fishing rod, which had just cast the bait, and quickly checked the enchanted bow's item information.
"Item: Bow""Durability: 10""Enchantment: Infinity"
"Hiss! It really is! Although I didn't catch any edible fish, getting an Infinity Bow seems acceptable?"
"Judging by your expression, is this bow that can shoot arrows infinitely very rare?"
"It's not a matter of rarity; it's genuinely uncommon and a very powerful attribute. If it also had Power V, taking down a Skeleton Archer with one arrow wouldn't be an issue."
"It feels alright. Ganyu and Yelan can also take down a Hilichurl or even a Hilichurl King with one arrow. For a god's eye wielder skilled in archery, isn't an Infinity Bow standard?"
Keqing used a Make complaints attack, which was highly effective, leaving Jack speechless.
Wasn't she just saying that he had been fishing all afternoon and caught nothing?
Jack was indignant.
Then it was, can elemental power be considered infinite? Or can MC World's Infinity Bow generate iron arrows out of thin air? Can they do that in Genshin Impact?
For a moment, the air was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
...
Night fell.
Tonight's dinner was prepared by Keqing, the renowned roasted fish chef from Liyue.
At the dinner table, Jack seemed to have a vendetta against fish; he didn't even spit out the bones, chewing them up and swallowing them directly.
"It's okay, eat slowly. I caught a lot today; there's still more in the pond."
However, Keqing didn't realize how cruel her words were to a fisherman.
With a cry, Jack threw himself into the young woman's embrace, seeking comfort.
Keqing was still a bit unfamiliar with intimate relationships between men and women. Although very shy, she gently held Jack to comfort the young fisherman's psychological trauma from catching nothing.
...
Thus, a few days later.
The time had just passed 00:00.
"Weekly Random Shop refresh successful. This week's items are as follows:"
"Recycling Bin: 100 world coin""Night Vision Potion (20 minutes) 12 bottles: 100 world coin""Water Breathing Potion (20 minutes) 12 bottles: 100 world coin""Rural Ranch (Building Blueprint): 500 world coin""Hot Spring (Building Blueprint): 500 world coin""Teleport Waypoint (Unbound): 1000 world coin""Grand Lottery (11 draws): 1000 world coin""Grand Lottery (120 draws): 10000 world coin"
"world coin Balance: 900"
Teleport Waypoint?! No, Recycling Bin?!
Jack shot up from his bed.
"Jack, what's wrong?"
It was a bit late for Keqing just past midnight, but for Jack, it was precisely the time he was most energetic.
"I'm sorry, did I wake you up?"
Keqing shook her head, indicating it was fine.
She had also noticed the system interface Jack had opened, so she got up and leaned on Jack's shoulder to look.
A soft, smooth sensation came, and Jack secretly lamented that sleeping naked was a good culture.
"Even something like a Teleport Waypoint is available? It's a shame we're a bit short on money and can't buy it," Keqing said with some regret.
Although they had been in this MC World for a week, their exploration of the surroundings was still very limited.
Even after completing achievements like getting iron armor, they had only accumulated 900 world coin.
The realism of the MC World they were in was closer to the real world, much larger in scale than the game.
Therefore, distance became the primary limiting factor for exploring the surroundings.
They couldn't just abandon their luxurious villa to go searching for villages, temples, or dungeons, could they?
"And just buying one Waypoint isn't enough; we need at least two or more to actually use them and open up new maps."
"So, if we can't get more than 1100 world coin within a week, we won't know when we'll encounter a Waypoint again, right?"
"That's right."
"But that's too difficult, isn't it? Didn't you say that world coin can only be obtained by achieving certain accomplishments? How about we speed things up and explore beneath the lava you mentioned?"
Jack waved his hand, his gaze fixed on the Recycling Bin in the first slot, while also explaining to Keqing.
"During this time, we've only explored the tip of the iceberg of this MC World. Its realism cannot be ignored. Lava isn't buried as shallow as in the game, and its danger level is also unknown."
Taking Earth as an example, the magma layer is mostly located beneath the crust, usually tens of kilometers underground.
Even in volcanic areas or places where the crust is relatively thin, one would have to dig tens of kilometers down to reach the true magma layer.
Putting those aside, what concerned Jack more was the Recycling Bin, which was in the same position and at the same price as the Newbie Gift Pack.
"Purchase successful"
"Current Balance: 800 world coin"
"Item: Recycling Bin"
"Description: Can be used to recycle valuable items such as crops, rare ores, and livestock products into world coin after 6 AM the next day."
Sure enough, just like the Newbie Gift Pack, this was clearly an essential tool prepared for players!
It seemed that the previous few refreshes of this random shop were not so random.
The first time was the Newbie Gift Pack, providing players with living essentials at the beginning of their transmigration.
The second time was the Recycling Bin, giving players the function to obtain basic currency.
So, what would the third time be?
Jack, who had been saving his world coin because it was hard to obtain, used it for the first time to refresh.
"Consumed 100 world coin, refresh successful"
Aside from the fixed two or three Grand Lotteries remaining unchanged, a bunch of useless tools were refreshed.
But the first slot became the third special tool.
"General Store: 100 world coin"
Jack purchased it again, and his world coin balance shrunk to 600.
"General Store"
"Description: Basic supplies can be purchased using world coin."
His guess was correct.
The random shop indeed had a newbie welfare mechanism, but when Jack refreshed again, the special tools that only cost 100 world coin no longer appeared.
"Only the first 3 times, huh? Oh well, it's enough." Jack felt a bit regretful, "Keqing, put on your clothes, let's go downstairs and try it out."
Keqing, who had been observing the whole time, was now wide awake and filled with curiosity about the two new tools.
