Digging To Survive: I Can See Hints Chapter 57
Advertisement
Klein had marked the place where the fishing device was buried.
He took out a shovel and dug down.
About two meters deep, he saw a square iron box.
It was completely khaki in color, similar to the color of the sand.
There were some patterns on its surface, and two symbols that were identical to the earth runes could be clearly seen.
Klein picked up the iron box, and sand constantly flowed out from the fine holes below.
There was an entrance to the front of this thing. Once the Sand Fish entered, they would be trapped inside.
To check if he had caught any Sand Fish, he could check through the peephole above.
Klein lowered his head and approached the peephole. As the sand inside decreased, he gradually saw some figures.
They were indeed fish!
There was more than one!
He carried the fishing device back.
He lifted the lid above and saw five different types of Sand Fish jumping around.
They did not smell fishy, and the smell of the soil was heavy.
Two of them had purple backs, and their fins were long.
The jades looked like fish, and their bodies were yellowish-brown.
Two of them were round, and their tails looked like hammers.
[System notification: Purple-Backed Sand Fish+2]
[System notification: Long Sand Fish+1]
[System notification: Hammertail Sand Fish+2]
Their names were simple and unadorned, and they were close to their physical characteristics.
[Purple-Back Sand Fish: Meat is fresh and tender and looks good. Current consumption of satiation index is 1 star, overall score 43.]
[Long Sand Fish: Meat is slightly smelly, no nutritional value. Soft mouth, toothless. Current consumption of satiation index is half a star, overall score 32.]
[Hammertail Sand Fish: Meat is chewy, rich in trace elements. Current consumption of satiation index is 1 star, overall score 45.]

The three types of Sand Fish, from satiation index to overall score, lagged behind the crypt creatures.
'I wonder if Sand Fish can give souls?'
Just as Klein thought of this, he had already chopped up the Purple-Backed Sand Fish.
The system didn't give him any feedback.
It seemed like not all crypt creatures had souls.
Perhaps it was because the Sand Fish were too weak.
Klein thought for a moment before saying, "Let's keep these fish for now."
Klein walked to a corner and beside the meat field. He used a slate to build a more spacious container.
He then poured sand into it and placed the other three Sand Fish down.
When the three Sand Fish touched the sand, they immediately dived down.
They seemed to have an affinity with the earth element similar to that of a Gold-Digging Dwarf, so the sand didn't pose much of a resistance to them.
Klein watched for a few minutes and sprinkled a handful of rice grains on top.
Occasionally, he could see the rice grains sink. They were probably dragged down by the Sand Fish and eaten.
'I wonder if anyone likes the Long Sand Fish? Let's try putting it up.'
Klein originally wanted to use the Long Sand Fish to make fertilizer, but after some thought, he decided to put it up on the trading market.
After all, it was a living thing.
So far, no one had placed a living thing in the trading channel.
Perhaps it was a rare commodity!
If some people were too lonely and didn't meet a player, they might need a pet to accompany them.
There were many people who raised fish in the real world.
In the trading channel.

[Inventory: 1]
[Seller's message: Live fish. You can feed it by simply finding a container and putting sand in it. I suspect that it has good room for growth. It will be a good partner for you in the future.]
..
In order to increase the selling point, Klein casually made up a paragraph.
The Sand Fish was successfully put on the shelf.
Klein put away the runic base and set off for the abandoned Earth Dragon nest.
In less than half a minute.
The world channel was already discussing the matter of the Long Sand Fish.
"Holy shit, there's fish in the catacombs world?"
"Hahaha, I also just discovered that Big Brother Klein has a live fish put up. The description says that it's not delicious. If anyone is lacking a partner, they can buy it and keep it."
"Didn't you guys notice Big Brother Klein's message? This fish might be extraordinary! Who wants to lend a rune to me? I want to buy it and cultivate it."
"Hasn't Klein already domesticated crypt creatures? His seller's message has a certain level of trust."
"Why can't we catch Sand Fish? Does Klein have fishing tools or fishing techniques? Please tell us, Big Brother!"
"Did you hear? Someone met Big Brother Klein this morning. This fellow is too fierce. He killed a large spider with a single slash, just like Superman!"
"That's normal. I can even deal with crypt creatures. Big Brother will definitely have it easier. Don't look at Big Brother like an ordinary person. They're all very impressive. Big Brother Klein is one of the best."
"I'll buy that fish. It has temperature and is quite useful. Big Brother Klein isn't wrong. It can indeed help."
"???"
"There's a pervert among us!"
With just a live fish, Klein once again attracted attention and was hotly discussed by many people.
Even the matter of Klein saving the two players this morning was revealed.
Yesterday, Klein was still a sinister and terrifying figure, but today, he had become a big brother who helped out!
At this moment.
Klein was digging a tunnel.
With another shovel, a black membrane appeared in front of him.
Klein put away the shovel and patted the sand on his body.
[System notification: Long Sand Fish-1]
[System notification: Transaction completed. Wind Rune+1]
"Eh, so fast?"
Klein didn't expect that someone would buy it less than three minutes after it was put up.
It was indeed a rare commodity!
What surprised him even more was that the Long Sand Fish attracted buyers not because they could eat it, but more because the Long Sand Fish were alive...
The most important thing was that the Long Sand Fish did not have teeth.
It could be used to do many interesting things.
It could not be helped. Some people held back for too long and looked at everything with strange looks.

Adventures of the Goldthirst Company
Get the quest, kill the monsters, grab the loot, don't die. How hard can adventuring be? When the party is a fashionista wizard who'd rather stare at her reflection than dirty herself with actual combat, a thief that picks locks by ripping them apart, a paladin trying to do the right thing, and an archer that's better at talking to plants than people, then even a simple quest can prove a challenge. Hired for a variety of tasks, from retreiving the legendary Dragon's Veil to bodyguarding the wealthy, thwarting apocalyptic prophecies, or uncovering not-so-abandoned elven ruins, the problems in their way may well prove their undoing; lonesome medusas, sticky-fingered psychopomps, agressively passive golems and fearsomely violent geography stand in their way, as well as the minor issue of simply not actually trusting, or even liking, each other! Releases twice weekly, generally Tuesday and Friday (Art by Sin Soppitt)

Of Men and Dragons, Book 1
Book 1 is now available on Kindle, or in paperback/hardcover! You can buy it here! Jack crash-landed on a planet where the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivorous cat-lizards currently somewhere between stone and bronze age. The good news is the natives think the ship that crashed into their mountain is a dragon and are steering clear of it. The bad news is they just left one of their own as a sacrifice to appease the beast. No matter what Jack and his AI co-pilot decide, his life just got a lot more complicated... ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.

What kind of changes can these people bring to the world where magical and supernatural forces exist? What will be the future of each of them in this mysterious story? Come with me to travel and discover all this in... Magic x Magic... - - / - Hey, guys! I want to tell everyone that I managed to recreate a text structure that satisfied me. Finding this new structural formula, I proceeded to rewrite all the released chapters (0000~0048). Rewriting the chapters, I would like to make it clear that; 1 The basis of the story will not change. Only a few small details will be changed, so that those readers who do not want to re-read the chapters will not be harmed in following the story. 2 Those interested in starting over will be rewarded with the introduction of new POVs of some already established plots from the already released chapters. And as I said before, the entire story already developed will not change. Treat this as a way of enriching some plots and backstories for some characters. 3 I decided to bring some plots that would only appear after finishing the first arc. These storylines don't have a development in this arc, but they are storylines that are happening at the same time as the events of the first arc. So there are some more mysteries to reward those who will re-read the novel. Rewrite Update:New Reading Aid Rule: Incomplete.Prologue to Book 01 (Arc 01): Incomplete.Rewritten Chapters: 0000. I want to warn you that for now the chapters are being released gradually, don't give up on me... For more details visit my Patreon page, you can find details about me and the novel 'Magic x Magic' in public posts. A big hug to everyone!Cover art by me, ScanLi.
