It looks like the rainy season isn’t over quite yet, as it was raining again today.
Even though Egbert hasn’t specifically said he would stay in town, it appears that he’s safe now. That’s because Mint was talking about moving out. I didn’t try to stop her. Mint is okay, but it’s better her moving out than an animal I like a lot.
I played between 5:00 and 5:30 so I could check for Pete. I circled town once, no sign of Pete. Then I did it again and again…still no Pete (and no other visitors either). This indicated that the UFO would be coming! The UFO hasn’t come since April 19, which was two and a half months ago! That’s the longest UFO drought I’ve experienced since I started seriously hunting it down in early 2011.
And sure enough, at 6:02, the UFO flew by. My UFO hunting skills were surely rusty, but it flew by at a convenient place and time, so I had no trouble shooting it down.
I searched around and recovered the spaceship part.
Gulliver will be in my town tomorrow. I’ll exchange the spaceship part for one of his rare treasures. This is my 18th time shooting down the UFO and recovering the spaceship part. I’m hoping I will finally get the Metroid I’ve been wanting for years.
I went into the Happy Room Academy (HRA) to check out the model room theme for July. This time, it’s the room that’s most nostalgic. A room with princess furniture was on display.
Lyle told me it was Phoebe’s room.
I went back to Forest and made my walk around town. I saw a large fish shadow in the river, so I fished it out. It was an arapaima, which is worth 10,000 bells. I love summer in ACCF.
I stopped in the Able Sisters and said hello to Sable. The last three times I’ve talked to her (excluding Wi-Fi times) have all been on Saturdays, oddly enough. So I thought I’d say hello on a different day for a change.
Wendell, the starving artist/walrus was in town. I didn’t feed him, but I said hello to him. That counts for something, right?
As night fell, it started to rain in town. I caught a few good bugs (and a shark). Then I went to deposit my money (mostly from last night), which was around 250,000 bells. This boosted my bank account balance over the 12 million mark.
Of the beetles on trees, I was ignoring the fruit beetles, which aren’t worth much. But I believe all the other tree bugs are worth at least 1,000 bells each, and some are worth up to 12,000 bells. So it’s a lot of fun filling up your pockets.
Just before 11:00, we went into the Able Sisters shop. We wanted to see if the Nook glitch would also work there. But just as we were about to try it, Megan and Yann accidentally did the other glitch, where someone gets stuck behind Sable.
We kept trying to free everybody. But when we did, someone else would get stuck. And we were experiencing some severe lag, which made it difficult to do it correctly. So while Megan was stuck, Yann and I tried the door glitch. I went outside and she tried to come out while I was reading the shop closed sign. Even though she was unable to exit the store, she could not see herself in the doorway like you could with the Nook glitch. Too bad.
I asked him to stay, but he wouldn’t commit to staying. I’ll have to keep talking to him in the coming days to change his mind. Anyway, Megan and Yann came back and we did some more bug-hunting. By the time I was done, I had racked up 234,550 bells on the night. (I had emptied my wallet before I started specifically so I could see how much I earned tonight).
Somehow, I got in trouble with Megan for saying I wouldn’t make fun of her fashion sense. 😀
It was a fun night in Forest. We’ll have to do this again sometime. Catching bugs on summer nights is one of my favorite things to do in this game, and it’s also the best time of year to make a lot of money. Yann did some bug-hunting at her own town before coming over, and she said made a total of a million bells for the day.
