100 Million Bells

On Sunday (the day after being “purified”), Katrina sent me a lucky gold turtle figurine. So I did get an item from her after all! This is what it looks like:

On Wednesday, Anicotti the ugly Muppet mouse was camping at my campsite. I had zero interest in letting her move in. 😛

There was a heavy meteor shower last night, and I wished on a bunch of shooting stars.

As a result, I found 17 star fragments and three Libra fragments on the beach today.

The fall fishing tournament was underway this afternoon, so I gave it a go. On my first attempt, I caught six fish in the three-minute limit, which was good for eight points.

C.J. paid me 2,250 bells for those six fish, and I decided to play again. But my second attempt was even worse: I only caught four fish, although I caught a 5th one at the buzzer that didn’t count. He paid me 5,580 for those fish. I then redeemed ten points for a reward, a fish doorplate.

Since he was in town though, I decided to get a bunch of fish out of storage for him. It included the last of my summer shark hauls. I sold the 32 fish to C.J. for 524,400 bells.

That was a nice chunk of change, and I immediately went into town hall to deposit my money. Thanks to this influx of fishy bells, I was able to bump my savings balance up to 100 million bells for the first time!

This is the 2nd Animal Crossing game in which I’ve reached this milestone, with New Leaf being the other. Of course, bells were considerably harder to earn in the older games.

There isn’t a K.K. Slider concert tonight due to the tournament. But here are a few other quick notes about this past week:

• I helped Gulliver on Tuesday, and he sent me another sombrero.
• Flick was in town on Wednesday, and he paid me 97k for 19 bugs.
• I returned a lost item to Bob yesterday, and he rewarded me with a delivery jacket.
• I shot down a balloon present and found 30,000 bells inside. 💰
• Today, I caught three banded dragonflies! I actually saw one other one too, but it got away.
