#mima's restaurant

[jasmineleeplays]

We go for our 4th November (Friday) morning dive, straight to the Sea People Village and Mima's Restaurant where Dave chows down on some Mima's Special Dumpling, which "increases the base damage of Harpoon Gun by 10%" and "increases movement speed by 8%". This cost us 16 Bei.

Next, we head to the Game Parlour yet again to do some Seahorse Racing. This time we enter the Solo A-Rank Combined 100cm Race with our White Seahorse which has an inclined energy today, resulting in stats of 62 across the board. Surprisingly, our White Seahorse edges out our competitor's Lined Seahorse by a hair's breath and wins with a timing of 23.03 secs. We easily pocket a cool 150 Bei.

We turn our attention to the Team A-Rank Combined 400cm Race, which requires us to enter a team of 4 seahorses. We enter Zebra Seahorse, Spiny Seahorse, Crowned Seahorse and Tiger-Tail Seahorse. We came in first, clocking in at 85.57 secs and winning 300 Bei.

We drop by Kazhin's Seed Shop to Upgrade our Level 2 Sea Grape Seeds to Level 3, which gives 70% extra harvest at the cost of 50 Bei. It will take 2 days to finish researching.

After that, we teleport to the Sea People Record Chamber and exit out to the Shallows, where we capture some Yellowfin Tuna with the Steel Net Sensor Trap. We also travel to the Shipwreck Interior to net the resident Sailfish.

For Dive No. 78, mid-dive we got surprised by a Shortfin Mako while trying to carve a Green Humphead Parrotfish carcass. We were so relentlessly chased that we forgot that we still had one more use of the Steel Net Sensor Trap, so we killed the Mako with our Superalloy Harpoon Gun instead.

For the afternoon dive, we begin our dive by eating at Mima's Restaurant again. This time, we order Feather Dumpling, which "reduces damage taken by 10%" and "increases movement speed by 8%". Again, this cost us 16 Bei. All the dumplings that give 2 effects cost 16 Bei to eat.

Dive No. 79 is like any other routine dive to the Depths. We brought along our Tranquilliser Rifle, which helped put to sleep a Rhinochimaeridae along the way. The same Rifle couldn't tranquillise a Megamouth Shark though, so we had to kill it before droning it away.

As we return to the boat, fireworks of Aladdin Lamps are going off in the background, signalling the start of Curry Party! There's also a ? over Bancho Sushi, which means our VIP customer is back. First things first though...

...At the Farm, weeds need to be pulled and Rice needs to be harvested. One of our Carrot plants suffered pest damage and have to be pulled out.

It is the morning dive of 3rd November (Thursday), and we head straight to Mima's Restaurant in the Sea People Village to get the bonus modifier from eating her Agar Dumpling which "increases (Dave's) movement speed by 8%". This cost us 10 Bei.

Next, we speak to Gumo to check up on our Seaweed Farm, which has grown nicely into "Adult" Seaweed and Seagrapes. We harvest 5 Seaweed and Seagrapes, which is very little harvest for the amount of time invested...

...So we drop by Kazhin's Seed Shop to Upgrade Seeds. When upgraded, Level 2 Seagrape Seeds give 30% extra harvest with a little investment of 30 Bei. It sounded good to us, so we bought in. Except, upgrading actually takes time to research, so the current seeds sold is still Level 1. We buy 2 bags of Seagrape Seeds and plant them at the Seaweed Farm.

We swing by the Game Parlour to do some Seahorse Racing, taking part in the Solo A-Rank Normal 100cm Race first. We enter a Zebra Seahorse with Max Speed of 79. We easily win the race with a timing of 17.88 secs, netting ourselves 120 Bei.

Next, we enter the Team A-Rank Normal 400cm race with 4 Seahorses - Crowned Seahorse, White Seahorse, Spiny Seahorse and Tiger-Tail Seahorse. The White Seahorse is under the weather and our worst performing team member with a cap on its skills at 50, but he is the rarest seahorse with Rank 6. We still win the race with a timing of 73.25 secs, winning ourselves 240 Bei.

We used the Sea People Mirror to teleport to the Sea People Record Chamber. From there, we exit and proceeded to explore the Shallows when we noticed that we have the Seaweed Biome again! Since we have the Enhanced Hush Dart II equipped, we used it to put to sleep a number of the Seaweed Biome fish, including the Sheepshead.

We tried to tranquillise the Stingray, but it seems my current level of Hush Dart is not able to put it to sleep. So we had to harpoon and kill it at a 2-star.

We encountered 2 swarms of Striped Catfish at 2 different points while exploring. The first time, we encountered the swarm on its own, which was okay because we had the Baseball Bat equipped as a Melee Weapon. The bat quickly made short work of all the attacking Striped Catfish, and we collected lots of 1-star carcasses.

The 2nd time however, took us by surprise. We were already fighting a Whitetip Reefshark and a Marlin together, when in comes a swarm of Striped Catfish! Needless to say, Dave had a tough time juggling between swatting the attacking Catfish swarm with the bat, and focusing on taking down the Marlin and the Reefshark. But in the end, we managed to kill all 3 groups of enemies. Oh, did we mention there was a hidden Moray Eel lurking in the background, ready to pounce if we got too close?

For Dive No. 75, we broke the record for Number of Fishes Caught - 106 - thanks to the Striped Catfish bonanza (47 pieces of Meat)!

Just as we surface for the afternoon, a call comes in from Otto, who tells us that the vegetable crops we planted 2 days ago are ready to be harvested...

The afternoon of 28th October (Friday), we use the Mirror on our boat to travel to the Sea People Village. The Mirror acts like a teleportation device, and can even bring us to the Sea People Record Chamber in addition to the Village. However, this afternoon we want to visit the Village for the first time.

After teleporting into the Village, we are standing next to the other Mirror within the Village right next to the King Long Square.

We are right beside Mima's Restaurant, which has a quest exclamation (!) marker on the map, so we head inside to talk to the owner Mima. Mima tasks us with helping her to deliver lunch boxes to the guards Awang and Nawang near the gates.

We head to the next door Seed Shop which had a quest marker too, and we speak to the owner, Kazhin, who is shocked that we do not know who King Long is. Before he talks to us any further, he orders us to offer a flower to the King Long statue in the middle of the village square.

We head outside to find the bouquet of flowers, and pick it up to place beneath the statue of King Long, who is the same warrior depicted in the painting on the wall of the Sea People Record Chamber.

Towards the right of the village square and noticeboard, we find some Sea People children playing ball with each other.

Back outside Mima's Restaurant, similar to the bouquet, we found the basket of food or lunchboxes, which we were supposed to pick up and deliver to Awang and Nawang. We do so, and after Awang gives a snide comment about us poisoning the food, we find both guards enjoying their lunches from Mima...

We return back to Kazhin and Mima in their respective shops and receive our reward of 10 Bei and 15 Credit each. Kazhin still doesn't trust us because we don't know what King Long has done. Mima is more friendly and says she'll tell us if she needs something done again.

Towards the right-side of the village square, past the playing children, we come across a house with an anvil on the roof. Above, there is a dugong pulling a cart of some sort. We decide to enter the Workshop and it's a kind of forge with various types of weapons and implements lining the walls... The only Sea Person inside, called Duwa, has not much to say to us, however.
