Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 60 60. Crazy Invasive Species (3)

After changing the scene dozens of times, finally one day, after everyone cleaned up the snails and donated the feed and fertilizer anonymously to the local disaster-stricken villages, every player who participated in the game received a souvenir snail ornament.

This is also the period when the golden apple snail was declared to be a disaster in our land and became history.

Tang Qinqin took a look and threw it into the accompanying space.

It's so ugly, just use it as a toy for cats.

Cats: ugly!

Opening the game map, Tang Qinqin asked Mengru and Lan Lan beside him: "Do you want to choose one?"

"You can come and go anywhere." The two little sisters said in unison.

"Okay, let's go!" Tang Qinqin stretched out his hand to touch a red light point without hesitation, and then disappeared in place.

"...Hey, this stinky girl runs so fast." Lan Lan, who was a little slow to react, shook her head and smiled, pulling Mengru to follow her.

This time the scene in front of the players is a vast lake surrounded by mountains.Lush vegetation grows on both sides of the turquoise lake, scattered at various heights and full of green.

Looking up, many fishermen are leisurely holding long fishing rods in their hands, chatting softly in groups of three or four at an appropriate distance, and there are low laughter from time to time.

As we got closer, we could gradually hear their conversation clearly.

"Old Wang, I think you can't catch me this time, so you should admit defeat as soon as possible."

An energetic old man who smiled with only a slit in his eye proudly showed off the results in the bucket next to him. He also lowered his voice for fear of scaring away the fish in the lake who were about to bite the bait.

"Pull it down quickly, the two you caught are not long enough for my fingers, I don't care about them." The old man called Lao Wang on the other side waved his hands in disgust, expressing his disdain for the little fish bones.

"Hey, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. You still despise it. You old king, you're good. You can't even catch a fishbone."

The arrogant old man didn't want to hear it, so he couldn't help but retaliate and muttered.

"Oh, I don't know what's going on. This fish is getting smaller every year."

Tang Qinqin and others had no idea for the time being, so they stepped forward and quietly watched the two old men bickering.

"Hey, little girl, tell me, is this old man unconvinced and complaining about sour grapes?"

The old man, who was holding his neck in displeasure, saw the people behind him from the corner of his eye and hurriedly looked for someone to comment.

Lan Lan, who was stared at by two old men eagerly waiting to judge her: I was just passing by, uncle.Please let me go.

Seeing Lan Lan's rare deflated look, Tang Qinqin laughed unkindly with Mengru. She stepped forward and pulled Lan Lan away.

"Let you love to join in the fun."

"I just want to see the fish..." Lan Lan looked aggrieved.

"Old man, what kind of fish are you catching?"

Before Tang Qinqin could step forward, another curious Gao Lin came to the door.

"This is all... Oh, wait, a fish bites the hook! Another fish bites the hook!"

The arrogant old man's face flushed with excitement, he gripped the fishing rod tightly and kept retracting the fishing line.

"Oh, that's incredible, this energy is like a big fish! Hahaha!"

But the unseen fish that had bitten the bait in the water was unexpectedly strong. The fish's body flapped so much that splashes of water rose up on the surface of the lake. It was so blurry that a sizable shadow could be seen. It kept struggling deeper into the lake with all its strength.Caught off guard, the arrogant old man who lost all his strength was dragged into the lake.

Seeing that the situation had strangely evolved from people fishing to "fish fishing people," everyone reacted quickly and grabbed the old man who was leaning forward, shouting at him to let go of the fishing rod.

However, the stubborn and arrogant old man tightly clenched the fishing rod in his hand, refusing to let go even if he was in critical condition at the moment.

"Old Ding! Hey, you stubborn old man, let go! Look what you look like now!"

Old man Wang was very anxious and tried to persuade him.

"Fish is more important than life? I'm really going to be mad at you!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and wanted to break old man Ding's grip on the fishing rod.

Although many people caught the stubborn old man and kept him from falling, there were so many people and so many people, and somehow, with just a "plop", the stubborn old man, together with the old man Wang who wanted to step forward to help, fell. He was forcefully dragged into the lake.

This wasn't the end yet. Before the two old men, who suddenly fell into the water and looked confused, could react, the stubborn old man who was still holding on to the fishing rod was vigorously taken away by the fish to the depths of the lake.

At this time, even if Old Man Ding wanted to let go, it was too late.

"Quick, save people!" The players who were also stunned woke up and rushed into the water to save people.

Old Man Wang was just dragged and dropped into the shallow water of the lake. After he realized what he was doing, he had already climbed onto the shore. He was holding his chest and coughing violently. He must have just choked on the water.

Several people went over to help him.

A few of the other players were good at water and had already swam quickly in the direction of the stubborn old man.

Some of the remaining players on the shore and the fishing friends who gathered after hearing the sound were holding fishing rods, and some were holding long branches they had picked up. They all gathered around the lake anxiously and looked at the lake in the distance.

Finally, several players who went to the rescue worked together to bring the stubborn old man ashore.

By the way, there is also the fishing rod that the stubborn old man refused to give up even after being frightened to the point of losing strength, and the big fish he caught.

After confirming that the stubborn old man was okay and was just frightened, everyone helped him sit down on the shore and then focused on the big fish.

Good guy, no wonder he is so strong. He is over one meter tall, almost as tall as a human.

The blue-gray fish has a long cylindrical body, a long mouth, and its slightly opened upper and lower jaws are full of sharp teeth. It was still struggling after being dragged ashore. The weird and peculiar fish shape made everyone shudder.

"What kind of fish is this? I have never seen anything like this after fishing for so long. It is quite big." Some fishermen were curious and cautiously approached to check.

"It should be a crocodile gar. Be careful, it can easily hurt people." Song Yuanze quickly reminded the man.

"Okay, I'll stay away." The fishing friend obeyed and took a few steps back. He only used the fishing rod in his hand to poke the fish's body, feeling as if he was poking on a smooth stone.

"Hey, the fish skin is quite thick."

Several players stepped forward and tied the fish's mouth.

Seeing that the monster was disarmed, everyone boldly approached and watched, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Mine, mine. The fish is mine." The stubborn old man, who had regained some strength, was afraid that someone would snatch it, so he ran over and got into the crowd in a hurry.

"Uncle, this is the crocodile gar, an exotic species. The eggs are highly poisonous. I advise you not to eat it. This fish is ferocious and will eat everything. I guess you won't be able to catch other fish. With it here, it is difficult to catch other fish. living space."

It was the first time Peng Lei saw this legendary river overlord with his own eyes. The hard diamond-shaped scales on its body were indeed like the armor of ancient soldiers as mentioned on the Internet.

I wonder if this fish skin can be made into armor?
"Huh? Why are there fewer and fewer fish in this lake? I can't catch a few fish in a day, or they are just like fry. It turns out that this is what happened."

Old man Wang can finally find a reason to excuse himself.

I could sit by the lake for a whole day and still not catch a fish, for which I was often laughed at by Old Man Ding.

Tang Qinqin saw this strange-looking fish and realized that this was the mission goal.

Because this fish has a wide range of food habits and will eat anything, there are few other fish living in the waters where it lives, which will destroy the ecological balance and affect fishermen's harvest.

It is also not easy to catch, and its sharp teeth can easily bite off fishing nets, and injuries often occur.

It is also one of the most troublesome invasive species.

In fact, it was originally raised as an ornamental fish, but it grew rapidly and became so big that it could no longer be kept, so many people released it at will.

Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the awareness of native species protection for people who keep pets, especially exotic species. Some of the "releases" we think of are at the expense of destroying local fish resources and ecological balance.

If you really don’t want to keep them anymore, you should hand them over to the relevant environmental protection department. For these alien species, it is difficult for us to estimate what consequences they will cause after they enter the local natural environment.

Weak and without survival skills, he starved to death in a few days.

The ferocious ones, such as the crocodile gar, have no natural enemies. There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are the kings.

But no matter which one, it runs counter to our original concept of "releasing life" and is not advisable.

In daily life, I often hear and see people taking various fish and turtles to release them into the water.

It is good to have kind thoughts and pray for blessings, but we must be cautious and cautious, think twice before acting, first protect our own native species, and then talk about other things.
