I was diving in the ocean on Tuesday, looking for Gullivarrr’s phone. When I found a scallop instead, Pascal popped up. I got this screenshot of both special characters in the background, and I like how it turned out. 🙂
The 2nd Bug-Off of the year was held today (Saturday, July 26th). I started up a round, and I caught a rare Queen Alexandra’s birdwing 40 seconds into the competition. Nice!
I caught 11 bugs (for a total of 13 points), but I felt like I could’ve done better. Mainly because I wasted too much time chasing a darner dragonfly that sent me on a wild goose chase back and forth across the river. 😆 Still, those 11 bugs netted me 10,080 bells.
So I decided to play another round…but I again caught 11 bugs (and scored 13 points). Even though I caught my last bug with 5 seconds on the clock, my net still exploded as time expired. Oof.
I quickly went to shoot down a balloon present that I saw during the timed competition…and then my slingshot blew up too. Oof.
To add insult to injury, the present only contained five pieces of clay. 😛
After crafting some new tools, I went back to Flick. I sold him this batch of 11 bugs for just 4,020 bells this time. But I also redeemed 30 of my 33 points for prizes: a toy centipede, a bug wand, and a toy cockroach.
The Bug-Off was stressing out some of my villagers, especially poor Peanut here.
My two “A” named villagers (Agent S and Ankha) were the only two not outside participating in the event. Ankha told me that she thinks wallpaper is back in style, and I wondered if she meant hieroglyphics. 😛
Here are a few other quick notes about this week:
- On Tuesday, Static was sick with a cold. I gave him some medicine, and he rewarded me with some full-body tights. That’s kind of a personal gift, but me and him are really tight. 😛
- Gullivarrr sent me a pirate barrel on Wednesday.
- C.J. was in town Wednesday, and I sold him 21 fish for 352,500 bells. 💰💰💰
- On Thursday, I sold 32 bugs to Flick for 231,000 bells. 💰💰
