The system changed to a stereotyped mechanical sound.
The host actively requests to do tasks and can choose tasks independently.

If he only considers the magic value, the best choice is definitely the invisible fish, but the invisible fish is not easy to catch. If he fails, he will be locked in the magic sea plane, and the Kitchen God system mission will be over, and he will be burdened with a huge debt.
Lin Jiu actually had a guess. The invisible fish seemed to prefer eating the little blue devil. The living little blue devil was difficult to catch, but he had the dead one.
Lin Jiu had a good idea. To be on the safe side, he did not accept the invisible fish mission. He wanted to go to the Demon Sea to experiment first. If it was feasible, he would take the second mission.
To be on the safe side, Lin Jiu accepted the first mission. Silver carp is his old rival, and his Siren Scream should be very useful against schools of silver carp.
Lin Jiu called Si Xu and told him that he was going to purchase goods.
When Si Xu heard that he was going to purchase goods again, he immediately thought of his bruised and battered appearance and became very worried about him.
"Now that the sea is completely banned, where are you going to get the goods?"
Lin Jiu said vaguely: "There is no forbidden sea there, I can go there."
"It's very dangerous at sea right now. The unknown energy radiation value is seriously exceeding the standard. Even if we go into the sea, we can't stay there for too long, otherwise our bodies will definitely not be able to bear it, not to mention those marine creatures that have grown in size. It's too dangerous."
Si Xu tried to dissuade him from the idea of going out to sea. Lin Jiu should still have some food in his hands. Lin Jiu hardly touched that big blue devil. It was too dangerous at sea recently. He wanted to wait until the dangerous period was over before seeing the situation.
Seeing Si Xu's misunderstanding, but unable to explain, Lin Jiu felt uncomfortable and could only say, "I have a reason not to go."
His magic points are almost running out, and he can only get more magic points by completing tasks, so he must go.
Si Xu heard Lin Jiu's determination and was silent for a moment, "When are you leaving? I'll go with you."
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu called the system: Tong, your idol dad wants to go with me, can you make an exception
I want to be flexible, but the rules don't allow it. I can only pray that you get married soon.
Lin Jiu was helpless, "Let's go now. I can only go alone."
Si Xu didn't say anything for a long time. "When will you be back?"
Lin Jiu calculated the time and knew it would not exceed the store's mission time. "I will definitely be back within 10 days."
Si Xu was silent again, "Be careful and come back soon."
This obvious act of concealment made Si Xu uncomfortable, and so did Lin Jiu. He didn't want to deceive Si Xu, but he couldn't help but lie again and again. He wanted to tell everything he had been hiding to reduce his guilt.
Before hanging up the phone, Lin Jiu said: "Give me some time, I will tell you everything."
Si Xu: “…Okay.”
Lin Jiu asked for leave on Weibo, saying that he needed to go purchase supplies, and the shop would be closed for a few days.
Just as he was about to turn off his phone after posting on Weibo, Lin Jiu suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to tell Si Xu that the Huaqing fruit wine prepared for him was left in the store, and asked him to pick it up when he could. There was a spare key under the leg of the double chair under the window. He sent a message to Si Xu, asking him to take the key away after he got it, and put the key in Si Xu's hand.
Lin Jiu turned off his phone and went to the Demon Sea Plane. He didn't know that a group of people on Weibo were tagging him, trying to make him give up the idea of purchasing goods. Some people even sent him news about a small town abroad, telling him not to take the risk. No one can go out to sea now. Many seafood restaurants have switched to other businesses due to lack of seafood supply. Compared with money, life is of course the most important.
Unfortunately, Lin Jiu didn't notice the netizens' concerns, nor did he see the mailbox filled with resumes for applicants for the positions of lobby manager and waiter.
Lin Jiu appeared on Xipuluo Island and without delay went into the sea to look for the silver carp.
During the search, Lin Jiu has been trying to master the technique of "Siren Scream". When fighting against the little blue demon, he lost control of the situation and the little blue demon's head was smashed. This is not a good way to deal with it. The seafood caught is broken, not beautiful, and not fresh. It must be caught alive.
Lin Jiu tried to reduce the lethality and let out a sharp scream towards the front. All the Starless Sea monsters within the range of the sonic attack became stiff and lost their ability to move. However, it only lasted for a moment before they quickly recovered their ability to move and fled in panic.
The scream was too weak and lacked the killing power, allowing the Starless Sea Monster to escape.
Lin Jiu followed closely behind and saw the Starless Sea Monster appear again in front of him. Lin Jiu continued to try, and the power of the scream became a little stronger, but the sea monster still escaped.
Lin Jiu became familiar with this ability through repeated attempts. He accidentally used too much power and killed some starless sea monsters. Lin Jiu did not waste them but put them all into a fishing net bag and prepared to take them back.
This kind of sonic attack would terrify the starless sea monsters. For the star-level sea monsters, if they were not killed, it would be a provocation. Lin Jiu was chased all over the sea by a mid-level upper-star sea monster. After he finally got rid of it, he tried again.
Lin Jiu's main purpose was to find the silver fish, and getting familiar with his talent was just a side job. He wandered around for several days but didn't see any trace of the silver fish.
Lin Jiu called the system: It's time to get back to your job. Locate me, where are all the silver fish hiding
Searching for the school of silver fish, each time in the magic sea, 1 magic point will be consumed. Do you want to continue
Lin Jiu: …
It turns out that there is no such thing as free benefit!
Isn't it too much to need 1 point of magic to travel through the magic sea? If a day and a night lasts 24 hours like on Earth, wouldn't it require 24 points of magic? Who can afford this
Lin Jiu looked at his remaining 7 magic points and decided to try the demon hunting system.
It is useless for him to hold these 7 magic points now. If he cannot complete the mission, he will not be able to return to the Earth plane. At that time, he will only be burdened with more debts. It is better to use these magic points to shorten the mission time.
Lin Jiu: Go on.
Deduct 1 magic point, exploring the silver fish school...
The system quickly gave a direction. Lin Jiu took the harpoon and followed the system's instructions to find the school of silver carp.
Lin Jiu soon discovered the traces of silver carp. There were not many of them, only a dozen or so. With the idea of accumulating little to gain more, Lin Jiu wanted to catch these first. However, the system's instructions did not stop and he had to move forward. Lin Jiu paused and followed the system's instructions to move forward.
Lin Jiu felt that he had been swimming for a long time and his magic points had been deducted for the third time. He had not yet reached his destination. Lin Jiu suddenly had the illusion that a black-hearted taxi driver was taking a detour. Something that could be solved with ten yuan had to cost thirty yuan to reach the destination.
The silver fish school is about to appear, please be ready, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...
“Wow!!!!”
A large group of silver-white "waterfalls" passed by Lin Jiu, and the churning water caused Lin Jiu to stagger from side to side.
Lin Jiu: “…!!!”
I have never seen so many silver croakers in my life!
Lin Jiu was almost dazzled by the vast expanse of white. When he came to his senses, the school of silver carps that passed by suddenly turned back, and the "waterfall" was connected from beginning to end, surrounding Lin Jiu in the middle.
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu shook his tail vigorously and jumped up.
With so many silver carps, they would definitely tear him apart alive. He had to find a perfect position.
Lin Jiu struggled to swim upstream, and the school of silver carps followed closely behind him, forming a long silver chain, which was very spectacular.
Lin Jiu occupied the commanding heights, turned around, and the Siren screamed!
After practicing many times, Lin Jiu has been able to master the degree. The school of silver fish that caught up with him were shrouded in the sound wave attack, and all of them became stiff, floating in the water with their bellies facing up.
These silver carps were just stunned but not dead. Lin Jiu needed to catch 100 of them quickly, otherwise they would not be able to fight when they woke up.
Lin Jiu originally planned to use a fishnet bag to scoop them up, but the bag could not hold so many silver carps. If he didn't pick up enough, the silver carps would wake up and show their sharp teeth.
Lin Jiu asked the system for help to see if he could send the silver carp directly into the fish pond.
The fish sent directly into the fish pond need to go through the host's hands before they can be finished.
Lin Jiu understood. Just like his harpoon, if he wanted it to be automatically stored in the inventory, he had to make contact with it. The same was true for the silver fish.
If he had known this, he would not have gone to so much trouble to drag the little blue devil into the fish pond. Wouldn't it be better to collect it with just one click
Lin Jiu put away the harpoon and rushed into the school of silver fish, grabbing them with both hands. Every time he caught a silver fish, he would disappear from the sea water and reappear at the end of the fish pond.
Lin Jiu caught 100 fish as quickly as possible. He was not greedy for more as the fish pond would not be able to hold more. After catching the required number, Lin Jiu turned around and ran away. Not long after he ran away, the school of silver carps regained their vitality and chased after Lin Jiu, staggering around like a drunk. As time passed, the school of silver carps became more and more agile and chased after Lin Jiu closely, as if they were determined to fight him to the death.
Lin Jiu was not stupid enough to confront such a large group of silver fish, nor did he plan to swim a marathon with the silver fish. When he saw a reef, Lin Jiu immediately climbed up, and the school of silver fish surrounded the reef.
These silver carps were very stubborn. After suffering such a great loss this time, they were very determined to compete with Lin Jiu's real fish. They jumped out of the water from time to time and mercilessly mocked Lin Jiu who was avoiding the fight. Lin Jiu turned into a salted fish and no matter how they jumped and bumped into him, he just pretended not to see them. They wanted to trap him to death and see who would die first.
Mission completed, gain 100 magic points.
Congratulations to the host, triggering the treasure chest reward and obtaining 1 wooden treasure chest.
Lin Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. In comparison, this mission was completed very smoothly. It was worthy of being a demon hunting system. It was very worthwhile to spend 3 magic points to search for the school of silver fish. It saved him a lot of time than wandering around like a headless fly.
The wooden treasure chest was also a pleasant surprise. Lin Jiu continued to keep it as he wanted to close the treasure chest.
Having already obtained 100 magic points, Lin Jiu was not in a hurry at all, and just fought with the silver fish. Lin Jiu had plenty of food, so he would not starve to death. It was impossible for these silver fish to surround him and not leave.
Sure enough, after a few days, the silver carp retreated, probably because they were too hungry.
Lin Jiu looked at the direction and confirmed that he was lost again.
Lin Jiu accepted the second mission. He had to catch invisible fish. 30 fish meant 300 magic points. The temptation was too great and he couldn't give up.
Lin Jiu asked the system to find the invisible fish. Now that he had magic points, he didn't have to be stingy anymore.
After spending 2 magic points, Lin Jiu found the invisible school of fish. After a siren's scream, he could no longer see anything.
Lin Jiu: “…”
He could only rely on his last memory to grope among the invisible fish school, find one and put it into the fish pond, and then continue to try to find the second one.
This is much more difficult than picking up silver carp, he is groping blindly.
The time was almost up. Lin Jiu only felt the water waves around him and his body was hit in many places. Lin Jiu quickly retreated strategically. The invisible fish had fully recovered its mobility and might not just hit him, but wanted to tear him apart.
No matter how useful Lin Jiu's innate attack is, it is useless if he cannot see the silver fish. He harvested several invisible fish in one hunt, which was far worse than he had imagined.
Lin Jiu began to implement his plan. He took out a piece of small blue devil meat from the super smart kitchen and asked the system to take him to find the invisible school of fish. Lin Jiu placed the prepared small blue devil meat at the location where the invisible school of fish passed by and marked it nearby. The invisible school of fish was attracted by the small blue devil meat and surrounded it and bit it. Lin Jiu immediately used Siren's Scream to stun all the silver fish.
Lin Jiu hurried over to try to catch fish. He felt around the small piece of blue demon meat and hit it accurately every time. After he had finished searching nearby, he tried to search within the marked area. The invisible fish all gathered nearby and were easy to catch.
Mission completed, gain 300 magic points.
Congratulations to the host, triggering the treasure chest reward and obtaining 1 wooden treasure chest.
The system didn't expect Lin Jiu to do this. These 300 magic points were given for free and were obtained very easily.
Lin Jiu was prepared for the system to judge him for wasting food, but in the end he didn't hear the system's judgment.
Looking at the little blue demon meat that was torn beyond recognition by the invisible fish, Lin Jiu wondered, would it not be a waste of food if it was eaten by a sea monster
It is very likely that only discarded food will be considered as waste. As long as it is eaten, whether it is eaten by humans or fish, it should not be considered as a waste.
Lin Jiu calculated the time and pondered the feasibility of completing the third task.
The little blue devil, the silver mullet and the invisible fish are not in the same league, so it might be dangerous if you are not careful. Even if you catch the little blue devil, you have nowhere to put it. His fish pond is now full of silver mullet. The starless sea monsters that he accidentally killed have all been put into the refrigerator, and he will take them back to sell them at a discount. They can't be wasted.
Lin Jiu decided to put the Little Blue Demon mission aside for now and do it next time. There was still some time now, so Lin Jiu continued to practice sonic attacks. He had to master this talent very well so that he could protect himself when encountering danger.
During practice, he memorized the maximum lethality, minimum lethality and attack range. Most of the Starless Sea monsters he used for training died and were put into the refrigerator. Seeing that the refrigerator was almost full, Lin Jiu had to give up and go back first.
This was the easiest task Lin Jiu had ever done, and he completed it the fastest. The Siren talent was very useful, and the system's tracking technology was also very useful.
Lin Jiu came back wet and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. This was the first thing he did every time he came back.
After washing up, drying his hair, and mopping up the water stains in the room, Lin Jiu took out his cell phone and turned it on.
Just like before, Si Xu would call him every day, and it almost became his habit.
Lin Jiu only spent five days in the Demon Sea plane this time, which was the shortest time ever. He called Si Xu to report that he was safe.
The phone was just connected, but before I heard Si Xu's voice, I heard Captain Lu Yu's voice first.
"Is Lin Jiu back?"
Lu Yu's voice sounded a little anxious. There was a lot of chaos on the other end of the phone, with voices, shouting, car sounds, and the sound of heavy rain.
Lin Jiu glanced out the window. It was afternoon on Earth, the sun was shining brightly, and it wasn't raining.
"Si Xu, aren't you in City A?"
Si Xu's voice finally came from the other end of the phone, "I'm in S City now. Are you back? Are you hurt?"
It was raining heavily over there, and Si Xu seemed to be standing under the awning. The sound of the rain was so loud that he almost had to shout when speaking.
"I'm back and I'm not hurt. What happened over there?" Lin Jiu raised his voice.
Si Xu did not answer immediately. Lin Jiu heard the sound of the car door closing. In an instant, all the noise disappeared and there was silence in the receiver.
"It has been raining heavily here for two days. Something has crawled up from the sea. One person is missing and several are injured. The Special Security Department is handling the situation here, and..."
Si Xu paused for a moment before saying, "The unknown energy radiation has spread here, and people in the coastal town are starting to get sick..."
Si Xu didn't say anything. Lin Jiu heard the sound of "bang bang" on the car door, and then Lu Yu's voice came along with the sound of rain.
"Is it Lin Jiu? Is he back? We need his ingredients!" Lu Yu shouted in the heavy rain.
The sound of rain disappeared again, Si Xu must have closed the window.
