80 Million Bells

Last Sunday night, I again participated in the fireworks festival. I shot down this balloon present and the screenshot almost made it look like the firework popped the balloon. (Or maybe that’s a stretch, but I still thought it looked cool.)

Shooting down a balloon present.
A koopa shell was inside.

During my session, I officially met my summer goal, earning 2.65 million since July 1st. Why such an odd number? Because the objective was to get my savings balance to 80 million bells, and I’ve now done that.

Your current balance is 80,000,000 bells.

Of course, that hasn’t stopped my bug hunting. I continued to play this week, and I’m going to play this weekend as well.

On Tuesday night, Willow noticed a giant beetle in my pockets, and she said it made me look less handsome!

Willow: Oh, I know! It's that giant beetle you have! Somehow you look less handsome carrying it!

She was wanting to give me an upright piano for it, but I declined the trade offer.

Tonight, Cube asked me to catch an olive flounder for him.

Cube: The thing is, I really need an olive flounder to round out my chapter on deep-frying...

Once I did, he rewarded me with 720 bells.

Iggly has been telling me he’s planning on moving out of town. I’ve told him to stay, but so far he hasn’t changed his mind. So he may or may not be gone by next week.

I went bug hunting for about 90 minutes tonight, and I earned over 300k. I’m planning on two more bug hunts, Sunday during fireworks, and then again on Monday night for the last hurrah. I’ll be back next week with my final bug hunting totals.

I posted my latest City Folk Moments video this week, so please check it out if you haven’t seen it yet:
