At dinner, Hu Dagui went home.

Lu Changhua made excuses to stay.

The fry in the reward column have not yet been put into the water, and the growth promoter has not been used. How could he leave?

After Hu Dagui walked away, he came to the water's edge, and Xiong Bao followed him, lying down by the water's edge to watch the strange things.

Looking at the golden fish in the reward column, the halo is hazy.

He was excited that he could finally bring the reward into the real world.

"Use Fry!"

He muttered softly.

Huh? No response! The little goldfish is still shining.

Use fry!

He thought silently in his mind.

But still doesn't work.

Lu Changhua broke out in cold sweat.

broken!

I don’t know how to use it myself!

How can this be fixed?

He became anxious, so he used every method he could think of.

Standing, sitting, lying down, various positions.

There are also a variety of passwords, the only one that needs to be called is "Open Sesame".

Alas, what can we do?

He squatted by the water, and although it was already dark, he could still vaguely see the dark shadows in the water.

That must be the fry released today.

When he was in despair, he thought again, well, anyway, the system's one thousand fry would not have much effect.

I already have more than 60,000 tails here, which should be enough.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to stir up the water, trying to tease the fish in the water.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his finger touched the water, the golden carp fry that had not changed suddenly jumped and came to life in the reward column.

Lu Changhua was not surprised but happy.

He took his hand back, and the carp fry returned to its original state, shining quietly. He put his hand into the water again, and the little carp came to life again.

It turns out you have to come into contact with water!

He had been in contact with water before, but the fry didn't react at all. Why did it react so strongly now?

Is it because there are similar species in the water? Or is it activated when other conditions are met?

Anyway, the golden carp fry is activated.

Lu Changhua muttered silently, "Freeze."

I saw the golden fish jump up, turn into a golden light, and swim into the water one by one along the edges of his hand.

Lu Changhua really felt that lively little lives jumped out of his hands.

He had a strange feeling in his heart, as if these little carps had some strange connection with him.

But this feeling seems to be there and not there at all, it is elusive.

A thousand fish fry were stocked quickly.

The only thing left in the reward column is the small green bottle.

At this moment, Lu Changhua put his hand directly in the water and silently said, "Use half a bottle of growth accelerator."

He knew that one bottle of accelerator could use one hundred acres of water, but he only had forty acres, so half a bottle was enough.

As a result, people didn't like him at all.

Nothing changes.

Huh? Come again?

It looks like it was done improperly!

Well, that bottle?

He hesitated and pondered in his mind, when suddenly the green light of the small green bottle flashed fiercely, and a green liquid emerged from his palm.

Soon it became dense in the water.

Until there was no more green liquid flowing out of his palm, and the number on the small green bottle in the reward column changed to "9", he was sure that he had used one bottle of growth promoter.

At this time, the full moon was high in the sky, and the water surface was dimly visible with bright light.

He thought he was dazzled and rubbed his eyes. Mist was slowly rising from the entire water surface.

He originally planned to go home after stocking the fry, but how could he rest assured in such a situation.

He didn't believe that this mist had anything to do with growth promoters.

In the current weather, it is impossible for fog to occur naturally. There must be a reason.

He greeted Xiong Bao and returned to the duty room.

I found some pine wood and lit the stove.

Burning the stove now is not for heating, but for dehumidification.

The duty room is too close to the reservoir, so humidity is inevitable.

The flames in the stove were licking the bottom of the pot, and the pot of water was bubbling.

"Changhua? Are you there?"

My mother's voice came from outside the door.

"Mom? I'm here, come in."

Mother Lu opened the door and walked in.

"You won't go home for dinner either."

"The fry just came out today, so I'm not worried about it, so I'm keeping watch here."

"I just know you won't go back tonight. Let's eat."

Mother Lu took out a cloth bag with five steamed buns in it.

There are several dishes in the aluminum lunch box.

"Mom, have you eaten? Let's eat together?"

"I ate, you go ahead and eat."

The mother sat on the edge of the kang and watched her son eat.

Lu Changhua ate on top and Xiong Bao ate on the bottom.

Everyone and the dog feasted happily.

Seeing that her son had finished eating, Mother Lu packed up the tableware and put it in a bag.

"Mom, it's dark, please slow down. Do you have a flashlight?"

"What kind of flashlight are you bringing? It's very expensive."

Mother Lu thinks it’s a waste of battery.

"Mom, aren't you rich?"

"Where is the money? Your dad will be out of work soon. He wants to open a restaurant for free. Food and drinks at home are free of charge. You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you're not a family member!"

Mother Lu put aside her complaints, opened the door and left.

"Mom, I'll give it to you."

"No, I'll go back by myself."

Mother Lu picked up a wooden stick by the wall and left.

Lu Changhua placed a set of bedding in the duty room and he lay down early.

Xiong Bao was lying on the bed.

On this day, Lu Changhua was so busy that his whole body ached as soon as he lay down. Excessive fatigue made him fall asleep quickly.

He was sleeping deeply when someone suddenly called him.

He woke up suddenly.
