A Sweet Girl Won't Be Fooled By The Villainess - [Vol. 4] Chapter 21

[Vol. 4] Chapter 21: What is Technology!

About the little game of scooping goldfish with a paper net, Ifia played it several times with friends in her past life. Although it wasn’t always successful with each attempt, she never came up empty-handed.

So, with the self-confidence of someone experienced in the matter, Ifia rubbed her hands together, wearing a confident smile on her face. She led Amelia to the pond full of goldfish and generously handed over a gold coin as the cost for the game ticket.

Consider it an advance distribution of wealth.

May the system task this time be a success!

The booths at the celebration event in Pulis Academy were mostly managed by commoner students working part-time. In addition to the wages provided by the school, they could also receive a certain percentage of the earnings.

As for the spending rules for playing games, it depended on the guests’ own financial conditions. Whether you had money to give or only had copper coins, it was acceptable.

After all, not all students at Pulis Academy were nobles. There was also a portion of commoners. Ifia, being from the commoner class, was generous with her spending, making those who were already paying attention to the situation here marvel.

They thought to themselves that relying on the Duke’s daughter was indeed a prosperous way to live.

Now, Ifia casually gave out gold coins, being more generous than the average noble. She didn’t know what others were thinking, but Ifia herself kept it simple.

Besides distributing wealth for blessings, with the gold earned in Taric Kingdom, and the return of her past habit with an affluent lifestyle, she spent freely. Since you never knew when the world might collapse, enjoying life promptly would keep the mood pleasant and stable.

The current life made people reluctant to leave, and with the newly acquired wealth, Ifia naturally didn’t want to meet an early demise.

However, she always remembered that the first task the system assigned was to save the world.

After she refused, the system changed the task. Although saving the world and gaining the favor of the villainess had absolutely no connection, Ifia wasn’t one to ask why a hundred thousand times. Regardless of the task, she always sought an answer.

Among them, the system being secretive and avoiding spoilers was one reason, but more importantly, the matters exceeded her ability to solve, and continuing to focus on them was just overestimating herself.

It was better to lie down and be indifferent.

She just wanted to stick with Amelia all the time. At the last moment of the world’s destruction, the two of them had to be together!

Thinking about it, she suddenly felt a bit melancholic. Ifia lightly shook her head to shake off the negative emotions. Afterward, she made a feigned move, as if rolling up her sleeves, holding a paper net in her hand, ready to start the game!

She was going to dominate the scene!

The makeshift version of the pond was assembled from wooden pieces, coated on the outside with something resembling cement as an adhesive, making the long pool look very sturdy.

In the water of the pond, there are many colorful goldfish swimming, most of which are red and yellow, giving a festive look. Ifia and Amelia were not the first guests to visit. Before them, some people had already started playing, but their luck didn’t seem to be good.

“Kayke, be careful! You’ve already ruined three paper nets!”

“Oh, dear Jenny, I didn’t mean to, but these paper nets are so fragile. They get wet as soon as they touch the water. I didn’t even catch a fish, and it already tore a hole. It’s so hard to catch a fish.”

A couple was squatting in front of the water pool, concentrating, but the final result was still a miserable failure. Seeing this, Ifia smirked and raised an eyebrow. Hehe, novices, better watch her performance!

Ready for action, Ifia took the small paper net handed to her by the stall owner, squatted down, and took a deep breath. Ifia locked onto a red goldfish swimming in front of her. With the paper net handle in her hand, she swiftly extended it like lightning.

She was determined to lift this poor goldfish out of the water and make it her prize. Nowhere to escape! And then… the net broke, and the fish escaped.

Ifia stood there dumbfounded, holding the broken paper net, squatting in place, questioning life. Her black eyes blinked repeatedly.

The perfect operation that should have been a textbook demonstration turned out completely different from what she had imagined!

Why was this paper net so fragile? Ahh, surely her condition wasn’t at its peak, she needed to try again.

Finding a reason, Ifia asked the stall owner for another paper net. This time, after taking a few deep breaths, she felt that her state was adjusted, and she carefully chose a smaller goldfish.

Ifia thought she shouldn’t be overconfident but should develop steadily so as not to make a fool of herself in front of Amelia. After all, she had previously vowed to show Amelia what real skill was. However, the second attempt, filled with confidence, still ended in failure.

The small goldfish gently broke through the paper net with a slight force, returning to the water happily, shaking its head and tail as if mocking Ifia’s pride and arrogance.

Afterward, it disappeared among the many goldfish in the blink of an eye. Ifia gritted her teeth in frustration, and suddenly, a light laughter sounded beside her, causing her body to stiffen.

She had forgotten that Amelia was still beside her!

Originally prepared for a cool and dazzling performance, the result turned into a embarrassing scene of failure…

“Let me give it a try.”

Understanding Ifia’s easily frustrated personality, Amelia didn’t say much. With the stall owner respectfully handing over the paper net, Amelia took it in her hand, squatted beside Ifia, and then gently scooped in the water.

When she lifted it again, a plump fish lay on the paper net. Its size was so large that half of its body protruded from the paper net and could easily fall off.

However, this fish remained motionless, lying there like it was dead.

Ifia: ……

It didn’t make sense!!

Ifia stared in shock with widened eyes, watching Amelia calmly pick up a small ceramic bowl, placing the fat and large goldfish into it. Immediately, the seemingly lifeless fish resurrected in a second, full of vitality.

Seemingly hearing Ifia’s inner disbelief, Amelia suddenly looked up and smiled at her.

Her purple eyes shimmered with a captivating light, and the pure makeup created a sense of sanctity that should evoke kindness in others. However, Ifia inexplicably saw a devilishly dangerous smile in it.

“Interesting, let’s do it again.”

So, after the stall owner admirably handed over the paper net, they quickly harvested a second oversized goldfish!

Every fish that passed through Amelia’s hands seemed to lie lifeless, obedient to the extreme. Ifia became increasingly irritated as she watched, unable to endure it any longer.

This time, she really rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair and slender arms. With a determined spirit, Ifia asked the stall owner for another paper net, igniting the resolve for a last stand in her heart. She firmly issued a tough statement.

“If I don’t catch a fish this time, I, Ifia, will be a little dog!”

With the sworn oath buff, Ifia felt a surge of strength throughout her body, and the luck attribute seemed to have returned!

With full confidence, she extended her hand, determined to catch the fish this time for sure!
