Turning into a fish was no easy feat.
In the virtual game Animal World, players could not simply become whatever animal they wanted by customizing its appearance.
Animal World focused on land animals, and the starting animals available for Face Sculpting were all very common species.
For rare animals, players had to delve deeper into the virtual game and grind the relevant achievement points.
Grinding for around a dozen days would usually unlock Face Sculpting for one rare animal, but the rarer the animal, the longer it took.
What players unlocked depended on the quests they ground through. Players who liked freshwater fish could do quests by lakes or in rivers.
For example, a player playing a bear could catch fish in a river, blindly scooping them up with their paws.
Catching a hundred fish in a single day would unlock the achievement "Fishing Bear Paws."
Catching fish in freshwater areas for fifteen consecutive days, catching at least a hundred fish each day and doing nothing else, would unlock a rare achievement:
"Good for Nothing, Number One at Fishing!"
This achievement had no other effects, only two uses:
1. Showing off.
2. Gaining access to Face Sculpting for a freshwater fish.
It was a gold title players could display above their heads to show off. It was a favorite achievement among show-offs and a must-have for compulsive collectors.
That was one way to unlock Face Sculpting for freshwater fish; there were other methods that had not been covered.
Ways to unlock marine animals also involved water. Animal World was highly open-ended, leaving players to figure out many things themselves. Every day, countless players searched for achievements the developers had hidden.
Now, the dream forum was flooded with posts asking for fish players' perspectives, and fish players began coming forward.
