Chapter 213

Well, these were all words Fu Hua used to comfort herself.

The main reason is probably that the immortal has been losing at the lottery these past few days, and he figured that since he's lost so many times, he'll eventually accumulate enough luck to answer one question correctly.

With this in mind, the fairy went for it.

[Incorrect answer.]

[Fu Hua receives a punishment: reverts to her little girl form for one day.]

The punishment had an astonishing effect; the Immortal Crimson Bird shrank from a graceful young woman until she was at the same level as Theresa.

Her face has gained some youthful innocence, but she's still a beauty in the making.

The Herrscher of Reason: "Hahaha, Old Timer Old Timer, you've finally met your match!"

The happiest person at this moment was none other than the Herrscher of Reason. She squatted down and stroked Fu Hua's head with her large hands, even pinching the immortal's cheek.

It feels amazing!

Himeko Murata: "Little Senti, don't play pranks."

Teacher Himeko also wanted to laugh, and even took out her phone to take a picture, secretly hiding it behind her back.

But at this moment, as Fu Hua's teacher, she must set an example and show a broad mind; she absolutely cannot laugh.

The Herrscher of Reason: "This is not a prank. This is my long-lost sister. I'm trying to foster a sisterly bond."

Raiden Mei: "Little Senti... whatever makes you happy."

Seeing the Herrscher of Reason glaring at her, as if to use the combined effects of Herrscher and Fenghuang Down to brainwash her if she said another word, Raiden Mei stopped what she was about to do to Fu Hua.

I'm sorry, class monitor.

If I don't save you now, you'll be laughed at like a little sister.

If I save you, you'll really be treated like my little sister.

Fu Hua: "Sigh."

Immortal Crimson Bird sighed. This was what it was like to have a mischievous child at home. She could only endure everyone's strange looks and focus her attention on the picture.

[In the scene, Fu Hua has begun her volleyball challenge. With a loud bang, she sends the volleyball flying, causing astonishing damage.]

The last monster standing on the court collapsed to the ground, and the huge volleyball court was filled with the convulsing bodies of the monsters.

"Phew, thankfully I haven't neglected the basics."

After doing all this, Hua stood there and patted his chest, then heard the broadcast.

[Congratulations to Hua for defeating all the other contestants and winning the championship directly in the elimination round.]

[Because the total player score has reached 1000, the Doomclaw Overlord will be deployed in the nearby sea area. Please be aware.]

"It's going very smoothly. Hua not only completed the mission but also earned points. It's just that the mention of some kind of overlord at the end is a bit puzzling," Elysia said.

Pardofelis jumped up excitedly, waving her little hands wildly. "Could it be an extra reward?"

"It sounds like the name of some kind of creature. I have a bad feeling about it."

Only Fu Hua frowned, sensing that something was amiss.

Pardofelis then opened her quest card, which required her to retrieve the previously deployed Doomclaw Overlord.

"Hua, you guessed right. This thing looks like some kind of creature, and it's even a small fish."

Pardofelis waved his hand. "Fishing is nothing, a piece of cake for us."

"Well, with such a long coastline, it must be difficult for Pardofelis to catch any kind of fish."

Elysia looked towards the coastline ahead.

There are hundreds of species of fish in it, and catching a particular species is no easy feat.

"And this name doesn't sound like a little fish at all."

Fu Hua reminded her from the side.

"Anyway, I can give it a try first. I've always had good luck."

So Pardofelis and her friends returned to the spot where they had been fishing, Canned Food, having eaten and drunk its fill, lay there sunbathing.

It was just fishing. Pardo skillfully hooked up the fishing rod, then cast it gracefully, sending the line in a perfect arc.

"Wow, that's a beautiful swing! Pardofelis, how did you manage to pull off those professional moves?" Elysia asked.

Pardofelis waved his hand. "These are all skills I learned when I was surviving in the city. Back when I was still a homeless person, I supported Canned Food for a long time with these skills."

Unfortunately, the water quality deteriorated later, and it became difficult to catch fish in the city's canals.

However, Pardofelis's habit of frequently fishing on the canal was quite remarkable.

A short while later, the slack fishing line suddenly tightened.

"It's taken the bait! And it's a huge one we didn't expect! Sister Elysia, Hua, help us out!"

Elysia and Fu Hua exchanged a glance. Six hands appeared on the fishing rod, but the creature in the sea was too strong; with a crisp crack, the fishing rod broke.

Kiana: "Holy crap! Fishing? You guys didn't catch some powerful Honkai Beast, did you?"

Pardofelis: "Uh, you never know."

If it were just her alone, it would be fine, but even with Hua's help, they still couldn't pull the fish up, which is rather strange.

Bronya: "Doomclaw Overlord, that name sounds like a crab-like Honkai Beast. It's quite a chuunibyou name."

Kiana: "Crab, hehe... can we eat it?"

Raiden Mei: "Kiana, why do you even want to eat this kind of thing now?"

Ever since Kiana gained the Gluttony attribute, Raiden Mei has found it increasingly difficult for her cooking skills to satisfy Kiana's peculiar appetite.

Even though I knew it would turn out this way, Kiana, you finally couldn't resist reaching out your claws to the Honkai Beast?!

Chapter 345 The Pardo Who Fishes with Canned Food

Kiana: "Mei, this isn't my fault. Besides, what appeared on the island definitely wasn't Honkai Beast; it might just be a large sea monster."

Raiden Mei: "Sea monsters are also not edible."

Mei sighed, thinking, "If this continues, Kiana will eventually reach out to the Honkai Beast."

[In the scene, Pardofelis' fishing rod has broken. To catch the Doomclaw Overlord, he must get a sturdy fishing rod.]

"This is a problem. The trees on the island are either too thick or too thin, too soft or too inflexible."

Pardofelis squatted on the ground, the current situation giving her a real headache.

If only I could find a suitable, perfect fishing rod. Recalling the trees I had encountered on the island along the way, Pardofelis suddenly had a flash of inspiration and ran towards a certain place.

Elysia and Fu Hua followed, and before they knew it, Pardo had run up to Su and was spinning around under the big tree where he was resting.

"The height and stiffness are just right, so let's use it to make the Pardofelis No. 2 Fishing Rod!"

"Fishing rod?"

Su looked puzzled until Elysia explained everything, and he finally understood that they wanted to use the tree behind him as a quest item.

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing that Fu Hua was about to make a move, Su quickly stopped her. "You can't cut down this tree."

"Huh?! Why?"

For a moment, all three of them looked at Su nervously, and the latter's lips twitched involuntarily.

"The only beautiful thing I have on this island is that coconut tree. Even so, are you going to take it away from me?"

Su recounted the hardships he had encountered along the way with great emotion, attempting to move the three men.

"Having survived a shipwreck and nearly perished at sea, I was inexplicably brought to this small island. In this world, only this coconut tree has provided me with food, water, and shady shelter."

"It perfectly compensates for the insufficient area of the parasol, bringing me the breeze from the forest and carrying the warm ocean currents back to my ears."

"It even gave me a moment of leisure amidst this calamity, and even so, you still want to take it away from me?"

"..."

The three remained silent, simply watching Su calmly.

"Ha!" Fu Hua turned around and gathered his strength, then slammed his fist into the coconut tree. Before Su could react, the coconut tree crashed down.

"It can't be Hua, they've got the materials for Pardofelis No. 2!"

"Hmm, they didn't hesitate at all. Is this the human will to survive?"

A cheer erupted from the scene, but Su looked sorrowful, staring at the fallen coconut tree, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Su: "Hua, you..."

Seeing the coconut tree fall with a crash, Su couldn't help but frown. "You people really didn't hesitate at all?!"

Fu Hua: "Ahem, this is the inevitable price to pay in order to complete the island master's mission. Su, you don't want to be trapped on the island forever, do you?"

Su: "..."

With sunshine, beaches, and lemonade, Su felt that staying on the island for ten days or half a month wouldn't be a big problem, as long as the final food issue could be resolved.

Little Xuan: "Ultimately, everyone's stuck on this island. While the others are completing their missions, Su is the only one enjoying herself. That's not quite right."

Sue: "I don't think my task is that complicated, as someone who provides crucial information and intelligence to everyone."

Pardofelis: "So, let's contribute the coconut tree, and then we can all work together to complete the mission. Getting started is a good thing, right?"

Okay, Sue figured it out; you guys just can't stand him spending his vacation alone.

Even though they were already so anxious and in so much pain, they still had to pay such a huge price.

[In the scene, after the tree falls, Pardofelis uses her skillful hands to quickly turn it into perfect fishing rod material.]

"Now we have the fishing rod, all we need is bait."

To catch the Doomclaw Overlord, you can't just use ordinary bait. Pardofelis approached Hua and whispered something in her ear.

Soon after, the three left, leaving only a bewildered Su and the remains of the coconut tree.

On the other side, Canned Food was lying in the shallows where Pardofelis was fishing, taking a leisurely afternoon nap.

"Meow!"

Her feline alertness made her open her eyes, but her body, too full to keep up with her nerves, was being held in someone's arms.

"Canned Food, it's me, it's me. Don't move, okay?"

Pardofelis patted the Canned Food's head, trying to comfort it.

Upon seeing its owner, the Canned Food instantly lowered its guard and vigilance. But in the next instant, a thin thread, barely visible to the naked eye, quickly wrapped around its body.

"Tie it up several more times, make sure it's secure."

Pardofelis added insult to injury, leaving the Canned Food looking bewildered.

"Meow?!"

"Pardofelis, is this really a good idea? Using Canned Food as bait, isn't that a bit too dangerous?"

Elysia asked from the side, sounding somewhat worried.

Pardofelis waved her hand. "Canned Food is the best choice, both in terms of size and its appeal to fish. Don't worry, Sister Elysia, I won't risk my best friend's life."

After saying that, Pardofelis took out a set of wooden armor.

The protective suit was made from leftover materials, so neither sharp teeth nor claws could hurt the Canned Food!

"Furthermore, Canned Food goods are very resistant to water and can remain submerged for a long time."

With that, all preparations are complete.

To catch the Doomclaw Overlord, Sue's coconut tree and Canned Food have already paid too high a price; they cannot afford to lose.

"Go on, Canned Food!"

"Meow!!!"

A heart-wrenching meow rang out, Canned Food traced a perfect arc through the air before falling into the sea.

Soon, the calm sea surface began to ripple, the fishing line snapped instantly, and the three of them pulled hard, finally bringing the Doomclaw Overlord to the surface.
