Is the closed beta test of King of Loque over? The official release is here!

The three small bluefish were simultaneously engulfed by the explosion, and a pale golden light appeared on their bodies before they turned into specks of light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

[Successfully caught 3 small bluefish.]

Points earned: 6.

Mo Fan's hands kept moving.

He continued to adjust his angle, searching for a suitable target.

boom!

boom!

One shell after another was fired.

The points also started to increase little by little.

As time went by, Mo Fan gradually gained some understanding of the most common types of fish in this fishing ground.

Besides the most numerous and smallest grass carp, there is also a type of carp in the fish farm that is entirely red.

This red carp is about twice the size of a small blue carp.

It doesn't swim very fast, but it needs to withstand two regular cannonballs in a row to be successfully captured.

Each red carp provides five points.

Further up, there is a larger, blue fish that is even longer.

The difficulty of capturing them is significantly higher.

As for the larger targets, they are the sea turtles that swim slowly among the schools of fish.

Chapter 282 Fishing

Sea turtles move very slowly.

The large turtle shell is very conspicuous in the seawater.

It appears to be an easy target to hit.

At the beginning, many players aimed their cannons at them.

"With such a large size, it must have a lot of points!"

Not far from Mo Fan, a player excitedly locked onto a sea turtle.

boom!

The first shell hit its target accurately.

The sea turtle merely wiggled its body slightly and continued swimming forward in the same direction.

The player didn't pay attention.

boom!

boom!

The second one.

The third one.

Several shells rained down, and a faint golden light continuously appeared on the turtle's body, but it never turned into points.

The player's expression gradually stiffened.

"Still not dead?"

He gritted his teeth and pressed the launch button again.

Anyway, so many shells have already been deployed.

If we give up now, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

With this in mind, he could only keep launching more attacks.

Until the 30th or so shells were fired.

The sea turtle finally stopped swimming, its body transforming into numerous pale golden specks that merged into the turret.

[Successfully captured 1 common sea turtle.]

Points earned: 50.

Upon seeing the system notification, the player's joy instantly froze.

Thirty ordinary shells are worth 75 points.

In other words, he worked hard for a long time, but ended up losing money.

This is assuming no one else snatched it up.

If someone else attacks the turtle along the way, or if another player hits the last shell first, his losses will only be greater.

"Why are there so few points?"

The player's face turned ugly.

The scores of common sea turtles are almost the same as those of some large fish of similar size.

However, because of its shell, it can withstand significantly more attacks.

This means that the profits from catching ordinary sea turtles are far less than those from catching large fish.

Upon seeing this, several players nearby who were originally preparing to attack the sea turtle turned their cannons around.

Having learned from the enemy's painful experience, naturally no one was willing to continue wasting ammunition.

Mo Fan also silently noted this down.

From then on, he became more cautious with every move he made.

Larger fish offer more points, but require more cannonballs.

More importantly, all fish in the fishing grounds are a public good.

If several players target the same fish at the same time, the only one who lands the final blow will ultimately get the points.

No matter how many shells were deployed before, it was all for naught.

Mo Fan's current strategy is very simple.

It only attacks small to medium-sized fish.

And you must wait until the fish swim near the turret and enter the area where you are most likely to hit them before you make your move.

He only fires ordinary shells when several small fish gather together.

He would also observe the surroundings beforehand to make sure no other players were watching the larger red carp before firing two cannonballs in succession to capture it.

As for the blue-scaled fish...

Unless the opponent has already swum very close, or has just been hit by someone else's shells, Mo Fan rarely attacks first.

This method is very reliable.

Almost every shell can be exchanged for points exceeding its cost.

However, its drawbacks are also quite obvious.

Points are increasing very slowly.

Some of the more aggressive players around them have already gained hundreds of points in a short period of time.

Although Mo Fan's points have been increasing, there has never been a significant increase.

However, he was not in a hurry.

Mo Fan had played many similar fishing games before.

According to the common pattern of this type of game, the fish that appear first are usually just ordinary fish.

After playing for a while, large schools of fish or extremely valuable special targets will often appear in the fishing grounds.

That's the real opportunity to earn a lot of points.

Moreover, Mo Fan made another discovery.

His gaze fell on the area below the gun emplacement.

There was an inconspicuous dark golden energy bar there.

When I first entered the fishing ground, the energy bar was completely empty and there was no light at all.

However, as Mo Fan continued to fire cannonballs and catch fish, a small amount of pale golden energy had accumulated inside the energy bar.

It reached approximately 15%.

Mo Fan focused his attention on the energy bar.

A simple message then emerged.

[Turret Energy: 15%]

[Insufficient energy to activate.]

Although the system doesn't specify what you get once the energy bar is full, the answer isn't hard to guess.

It is highly likely to be some kind of special attack.

Or perhaps, it could enhance the turret's buff effects.

Neither of them will be weak.

There's clearly no need to waste such special methods on ordinary small fish.

"There were indeed other things behind it."

Mo Fan became even more certain of his guess.

He did not easily change his pace just because other players were gaining points faster.

boom!

Another shell was fired.
