Survival in a wooden house, the bosses’ life of pampering their wives!

[MapleStory Day 24]

The morning sun shone through the gaps in the curtains. Lu Xiaoli slowly opened his eyes and checked the time: 8:35.

He sat up suddenly, quickly got up, washed up, and had some delicious breakfast, then quietly waited for the system to transmit.

"Ding—Good morning, dear players! Are you ready? The gaming feast is about to begin!"

A dazzling white light cut through the space, and all the players holding fishing rods seemed to be pulled by magic and instantly crossed into a mysterious and foggy realm.

All around, there is only haziness and the unknown, except for a device that looks like a futuristic toy standing proudly, emitting an alluring light.

Just as I was wondering, the voice of the adventure system came:

"Please come to the gashapon machine and draw your destined fishing spot card!

Once you succeed, you will immediately set off to the exclusive waters and the fishing feast will begin immediately! I wish you good luck! "

The Gachapon machine playfully urged, "Hey, don't just stand there, come and pamper me. Remember, three consecutive affectionate hits, and a surprise is waiting for you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaoli did as he was told. With a crisp "click", a colorful and interesting egg fell gracefully to the ground.

She carefully unscrewed it, and a fishing spot shining with a lucky light appeared before her eyes, with the number "888" clearly visible.

Lu Xiaoli quickly called the system: "System, look, the number plate I drew is the same as yours, both are 888! Even the fishing spots are so consistent!"

The system, however, shrugged it off and lazily replied, "Hmph, a mere number, how dare you compare it to this system? However, since it benefited from my help, it's lucky."

Before he finished speaking, the fishing spot card spoke on its own, with a bit of pride: "Hey, little girl, it is your great fortune to choose me.

My fishing spot is a prime location with rare traps and rich fish boxes. Other fishing spots can't even compare to it!"

Suddenly, a burst of passionate gongs and drums were deafening, announcing the official start of the competition!

Lu Xiaoli quickly took her position and showed her secret weapon - the automatic revolving hexagonal hook. All six hooks were fired at the same time, like a six-armed god, instantly occupying the water area.

I saw them moving around flexibly and bouncing back like lightning. After a while, several treasure chests appeared on the water surface, vying to offer their treasures.

"Ahahaha, open me, I have points in my box!"

"I have points too, come on and open it!"

"Shh, be quiet, let her go first. I'm hiding a surprise bomb, be careful or your points will turn to zero!"

"Don't listen to them, I have brilliant diamonds here, and so many points that will make you scream!"

Lu Xiaoli only understood after listening to the words coming out of the box that if he opened the box containing the bomb, his points would be reset to zero.

"Luckily I can hear it, otherwise I'd work hard all day and be thrown back to the days before liberation."

The hexagonal hook was still running automatically, so Lu Xiaoli didn't need to watch it, but instead opened the box leisurely.

“Ding—points increased by 10”

“Ding—points increased by 90”

“Ding—points increased by 150”

"......"

Points kept arriving to his account, and while opening boxes, Lu Xiaoli also found some fun for himself by opening a temporary world chat.

All the people above are looking for their families, and some are complaining about the difficulty of fishing in the box.

"Oh my god, my fishing hook is too slow. It took me ten minutes to pull back a box."

"Mine is a little faster, but it still takes more than six minutes. It's really frustrating!"

"My double-headed hook was so powerful, but I ended up hooking a bomb. 20 points were gone in an instant. My heart is bleeding!"

"And there are bombs? I knew there was something fishy about this game."

"You still have time to chat? Aren't you here to compete for the championship?"

"Oh my, I'm such a slow snail, pulling a suitcase back feels like a marathon! What are you doing if you're not chatting? What are you doing?"

Besides some boring chatter, there are also these missing relatives notices, each one more touching than the other:

"My dear wife, Li Wu is here, waiting for you in Area 66, come and claim him!"

"Dabaoer, Mom has found the organization. See you in District 73. Mother-son reunion is not a dream anymore!"

"My old father, I finally found you. Dad, I finally found you after traversing the sea of people. Remember, District 73, we, father and son, will finally meet!"

"......"

Lu Xiaoli smiled and shook her head, closed the warm and funny chat interface, and continued her treasure chest feast.

All around, the treasure chests' shouts echoed one after another, making the place extremely lively.

"Little Erlang was caught with a box on his back..." Some even resorted to self-promotion:

"Miss, click me, click me, it's still the original package, it's my first time, I'm shy~"

Lu Xiaoli was amused by this sudden flirtation, raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully: "Everyone else is ordinary, but you are the only one who is flirting. How confident are you?"

As he spoke, he reached out and took the peculiar box into his arms to take a look inside.

Ding——Open the mysterious treasure chest and get a grand prize of 500 points!

Lu Xiaoli couldn't help but smack his lips: Hey, it seems that being coquettish does have its rewards!

Lu Xiaoli quickly asked the hook to hook the unique box.

Hook started his working life cursing!

"Hook, I hook, you're almost turning my six-armed Vajra into a spinning top!

Even this can't satisfy a philandering woman like you. Doesn't Gou Gou need a break?" Gouzi complained repeatedly.

Lu Xiaoli's eyes rolled, a plan came to mind, and he said temptingly with a smile:

"Hey, Six-Armed Hero, I heard that Hook next door has already scored over 10,000 points and is so popular now? Don't you want to make a comeback and become the focus of the whole place?

Just imagine, if we win the championship, those little hook sisters will surround you and have you in their eyes and hearts!

But then again, with your speed, I’m afraid you’ll be outpaced by the guy next door, and by then all the little hook girls will run after him~”

Hexagonal Hook shuddered when he heard this, and asked in confusion and excitement:

"You...you can understand me? But you're right, we can't let those guys look down on us!

For my status in the hook world and for those potential hook girl fans, I must get the first place!"

After being fooled by Lu Xiaoli, he actually stimulated the hexagonal hook as if it had been injected with chicken blood, and his six arms danced wildly.

"Brothers, it's time to show your true skills! Second and third brothers, the high-score boxes are yours;

Fourth and fifth brothers, don’t miss the diamond box; sixth brother, come with me to hook those fancy boxes.

This isn't just a hook fight, it's a battle of honor. For Gou Mei, go for it!"

As the "involution" of the hooks escalated, boxes of treasures arrived one after another, and Lu Xiaoli's points also rose rapidly, and he couldn't stop smiling.

While unpacking, I encouraged the hooks: "Keep going, pulling a box is like chasing a girl, you have to use your strength in the right place. Even if you fail occasionally, the hook girl's heart is still with you..."

Hexagonal Hook was even more passionate: "Brothers, for our glory, let's fight!"

Three hours passed in a flash, and the first fishing feast came to an end. The adventure system's prompt sounded at the right time:

"Ding—Dear contestants, the water fishing session has concluded successfully. We will take a 30-minute break before the earth fishing challenge begins.

At the same time, the regional leaderboards for all servers have been unlocked, come and check your ranking! "

The first place in the entire server is Lu Xiaoli from Zone 6, with points.

The second place is Ouyang Xuanyi from District 14, with 1560 points.

Third place: Qi Yan from District 6, 1530.

Please check the remaining rankings yourself! "

As soon as this list was released, the entire server was instantly in an uproar!

The chat channel was filled with waves of exclamations and ridicule, and players turned into joke tellers, making fun of this "race against time" ranking battle.
