Chen Mo, almost by reflex, used all his strength to cast his fishing line fiercely towards the sea area dyed red by the setting sun!
Plop!
The fishhook entered the water.
Less than three seconds later, the rod tip suddenly dipped!
It wasn't the struggling pull of a fish, but more like snagging something heavy and hard.
“That fast?!”
Chen Mo was startled and reeled in the rod abruptly!
Splash!
A round, white porcelain-textured object broke out of the water, gleaming with an eerie light under the sunset.
He looked closely.
It was a clean, brand-new—
Toilet seat.
【Acquired: Exquisite Toilet Seat (White Quality) x1】
【Description: Perhaps it could be useful in a future sea fortress? Currently, it can only serve as a not-so-comfortable cushion, but at least its structure is very sturdy.】
“...”
Chen Mo’s mouth twitched, speechless.
What is this thing?!
Gold Miner is fishing this for me?
No time to complain, next up is:

【Description: Are you competing with krill for food?】
Chen Mo felt his blood pressure rising.
He gritted his teeth and cast his rod for the Nth time!
Plop!
Three seconds later, the fishing rod dipped.
This time, the pull from the rod was unusually heavy, and Chen Mo had to use almost all his strength to drag it up.
Splash!
A white metal box with a red cross printed on it slammed onto the Little Turtle's shell.
【Acquired: Basic Medical Kit (Blue Quality) x1】
【Contains: Disinfectant Bandages x10, Antibiotics x5, Painkiller Injections x3, Simple Suture Kit x1】
【Description: A life-saving treasure in critical moments!】
“This is good!”
Chen Mo’s eyes lit up, and he immediately put the medical kit into his inventory.
Although he didn't need it yet, in this godforsaken place, medical supplies were undoubtedly a second life!
Chen Mo was greatly invigorated, and his movements became faster! He cast his rod again!
Plop!
After an unknown number of casts—
【Acquired: Basic Food Box (Green Quality) x1】
【Contains: Military Compressed Biscuits x5, Mixed Fruit Canned Food x5, Refreshing Mint Gum x3, Bottled Purified Water x1, Canned Herring x1】
【Description: High calories, high carbohydrates, rich in vitamins, protein content is seven times that of beef!】
“I have food!”
Chen Mo happily picked up the metal box, thought about it, and decided not to open it now, but put it into his inventory.
Because of the stamina buff, his energy and hydration levels could last a bit longer, and his stamina hadn't bottomed out yet.
The Gold Miner buff still had 10 minutes left.
He had to hurry!
Chen Mo cast his rod again!

【Description: Makes your mechanical parts run like a dream! Reduces wear and tear! Can be used for vehicles below 20 knots for over two months. Uh, wait, do turtles have bearings?】
“...”
Chen Mo looked at the barrel of oil, then at the turtle shell beneath him, speechless.
But it was blue quality after all, so he would keep it for now!
Time passed minute by minute, and soon.
Chen Mo’s not-so-large inventory was filled with all sorts of strange “catches.”
Useful items were few, more often they were completely useless gray items and useful but not very useful pretty wastes, such as:
A music box that sings (out of battery), a pink pet collar (with a bell), a pink small bow (can be worn anywhere).
Chen Mo was completely numb.
After more than eight hours of continuous labor, his arms were so sore he could barely lift them.
The BUFF time had only thirty seconds left.
Chen Mo gritted his teeth, squeezed out his last ounce of strength, and, facing the sun that was almost dipping below the horizon, cast his final rod with all his might!
Plop!
Three seconds later, the fishing rod bent sharply!
This time, the feeling from the fishing rod... was completely different!
Chen Mo’s first reaction was, heavy!
It was the kind of heavy you get when you catch a living thing!
The fishing line was taut, and the fishing rod was bent to an unprecedented degree!
He couldn't hold on much longer!
“Little Turtle!”
Chen Mo instinctively shouted.
The Little Turtle immediately understood, opened its mouth, bit the fishing rod, and pulled outwards in the direction Chen Mo was exerting force.
With the help of the juvenile Mysterious Tortoise, the pulling pressure drastically decreased.
Buzz—!
As the fishhook got closer and closer to the water surface, the fishing rod continued to bend downwards and trembled violently.
Just as the fishing rod was about to snap—
Splash!
The object emerged from the water and landed with a thud on the turtle’s back.
Chen Mo looked closely.
It was a bag of pink crystalline substance, encased in a transparent plastic bag, on which six large characters were written.
Powerful Turtle Feed.
What is this?
Chen Mo was a bit confused, his first reaction was that he had fished up another piece of trash gray item, but he didn't quite believe that such a strong pull could come from a gray item.
Just as he was about to check the item description.
“Awooo—!”
The Little Turtle, which had been slowly moving forward, suddenly let out an inexplicable cry, seemingly with surprise and an indescribable longing.
Then the Little Turtle turned its head, and before Chen Mo could even read the words on the description, it gulped down the Powerful Turtle Feed in one mouthful.
Two seconds later, it spat out the empty plastic bag with a “Ptooey, ptooey.”
“Burp—!”
Chen Mo: “???”
What happened?
In his confusion, the vehicle interface suddenly popped up before him.
【Mythical Vehicle Mysterious Tortoise (Juvenile) has ingested high-dimensional divine substance, its life origin has received a trace of replenishment!】
【Mythical bloodline initially activated!】
【Ability Awakening --- Loading ---】
High-dimensional divine substance?
What does that refer to?
Powerful Turtle Feed???
