Late last night, I played for about 45-minutes…most of which was spent bug-hunting. I also caught a shark in that span. But in total, I earned about 135,000 bells.
The Bug-Off was held today, and of course I missed it. But Nat informed me that Mint was the winner, with a 64-point jewel beetle. Congrats, Mint!
At the Roost, I asked K.K. Slider for a random song. He performed Aloha K.K. for me.
Two of my villagers asked for new catchphrases tonight (Big Top and Midge). They had both been using “giddyup,” which belonged to Roscoe…and didn’t make for sense for an elephant and bird to be using. So I told Big Top to say “in a tent” and I told Midge to say “I eat bugs.”
I was hunting for bugs (and valuable fish) throughout the night, and I was having a lot of luck. I kept seeing rare ones frequently. I seemed to be finding lots of giant beetles and goliath beetles in particular. I even found multiple golden stags!
At one point, I was creeping up on a scorpion, but he turned back towards me. He was too close for me to swing my net (and a tree was in the way anyway), so I just waited him out. He basically walked on my feet, but didn’t attack me.
Once he walked to a safe distance away, I swung my net and caught him.
In my hour-and-a-half session, I made about 300,000 bells and my savings balance is up to 62,640,000 bells. I’m well on my way towards meeting my summer goal of 64 million. 👍
On a less exciting note, I found a lady palm in the recycle bin, and I shot down a balloon present that contained a cabana screen.
See you next week!
