Li Ran carried a low stool and sat under the shade of a tree by the front gate.
On his right was a bottle containing freshly dug earthworms. On his left were dozens of short wooden sticks, a box of large pins, and a spool of kite string.
He bent the large pins into small hooks, tied them with the kite string, then cut the string into one-meter-long pieces, tying one end to a short wooden stick.
This made a small fishing rod.
A faint wisp of smoke rose from the chimney—his grandmother was cooking something for Second Brother.
Hanhan finally relaxed and slowly climbed up a nearby orange tree by the gate.
Li Ran paid no attention and continued his repetitive tying work while checking the system interface.
So far, the total system money rewards hadn't even reached twenty thousand, still less than the live stream tips—kind of useless…
Fortunately, he still had over two thousand frustration points, which could be exchanged for many useful things.
He first spent 500 frustration points to redeem a on advanced handicrafts.
Then he spent 100 frustration points to redeem some permanent moisture-proof coating—which, when applied to wood or bamboo rods, would permanently prevent dampness, rot, and insects—very practical.
Li Ran then spent 300 frustration points to redeem some useful construction tools, after which he lost interest in the cheaper items.
Nanorobots that help repair the body—he wasn't sick, so no need for now.
A boomerang guaranteed to return—he wasn't sure if it was a weapon or a toy.
Self-cleaning and reusable toilet paper—this was just anti-human.
Many other black-tech gadgets made Li Ran's head hurt just looking at them.
He flipped to the high-price section, where the items finally looked appealing.
[Advanced Growth Serum: Plants grown with this serum will bear fresh, delicious fruit, and it has miraculous effects after consumption.
Redemption cost: 1000 frustration points.
Cannot be obtained through the basic treasure box lottery!]
[Treasure Map: Guides the user to dig up the most valuable treasure nearby.
Redemption cost: 1000 frustration points.
Each treasure map can only be used once, and disappears after the treasure is excavated.
Cannot be obtained through the basic treasure box lottery!]
[Magnetic Gloves: Can control all iron objects within a ten-meter radius.
Redemption cost: 2000 frustration points.
Cannot be obtained through the basic treasure box lottery!]
…
Li Ran noticed that all high-priced items had a note below them: "Cannot be obtained through the basic lottery."
He glanced back at the lottery interface and saw it could be upgraded for 3000 frustration points.
Li Ran didn't have many frustration points left and didn't plan to become Magneto, so he hesitated between the advanced growth serum and the treasure map, finally choosing the treasure map from his heart.
Anyway, frustration points could still be squeezed out from the viewers…
He decisively redeemed it.
[Congratulations, user! You have successfully obtained a treasure map. Now begin your treasure hunt!]
Opening the treasure map, dozens of bright dots immediately appeared.
Li Ran was surprised: Did his hometown really have so many treasures?
But he noticed the dots didn't show exact coordinates, only flickered in vague locations.
Also, the brightness of the dots varied, indicating different values of the treasures.
Li Ran didn't hesitate and chose the brightest dot.
At the next moment, all other dots vanished, and the selected dot instantly showed a precise location.
It was in a small river valley at the foot of the mountain, over a thousand meters from Li Ran's home.
Looks like he would have to head down the mountain soon—just in time to carry the fishing rods out and set them up…
Li Ran made up his mind and looked back at his phone. The live chat was already noisy again—
"What's the streamer doing now?"
"Not replying again, annoying!"
"Looks like making fishing rods."
"So the streamer plans to fish?"
"Are you blind? Who uses such short rods to fish?"
"Maybe the fish in the streamer's hometown are so plentiful, fishing is easy!"
"Impossible, this is an insult to the word fishing!"
"To be honest, if this was for fishing, the streamer's gear is way too sloppy."
"This streamer is not professional at all! Fishhooks made from large pins, no barbs. No sinkers or floats. Fishing line isn't strong enough, and the rods are crude. As a professional angler, I want to hit someone!"
"Too disappointing…"
Li Ran was speechless: "Who said I'm going fishing?"
"What I'm making now can be called a fishing hook or bait hook. It's not for fishing, but for bait fishing for yellow eels!"
"Yellow eel? Eel?"
"Can that be caught like fishing? Is the streamer lying?"
"I think I've heard of this eel fishing method before, but never seen it used. Looking forward to it!"
"I'm scared of soft-bodied creatures, but curious. Someone tell me what to do."
Li Ran laughed, "Don't worry. Today is just for baiting. The catch will be tomorrow morning. You all have the whole night to think carefully about whether to watch."
"…"
"I don't quite believe it. If the streamer really catches some, I'll tip ten rocket gifts!"
"666"
"Boss, need any accessories? Guaranteed not to lose?"
"I bet ten packs of spicy strips. The streamer's definitely winning this time!"
"Please don't fake it, that would be boring!"
Li Ran didn't explain further. After finishing dozens of bait rods, he hooked earthworms onto the hooks.
He packed all the bait rods into a basket, told his grandmother, and set off down the mountain.
"Streamer not bringing Hanhan?"
"No, worried it can't keep up and gets lost."
"I want to see Hanhan and the streamer fishing eels, what do I do?"
"Definitely watch the streamer! The camera can't switch away for even a second—no room for fakery!"
"Streamer said just baiting today, catch will be tomorrow morning."
"So that means he's 100% faking it?"
"Then let the stream run all night, we'll keep watching!"
"…"
