Earning Bells inAnimal Crossing: New Horizonscan be time-consuming, but one very lucky player has managed to get rich quickly thanks to a very lucky combination of events. Bells are needed for everything from buying new furniture and decor pieces to paying off your house debt to resident real estate mogul Tom Nook.
Most of the time, players earn Bells slowly but steadily byforaging and selling collectibleslike bugs and marine life, but this isn’t the case for the whimsically named Reddit userbirdswithhands. The Redditor shared their incredible luck, wherea trip to Big Fish Island coincided with CJ’s presence on their island. The resulting sale netted them nearly 500,000 Bells in one fell swoop, making them instantly rich.
Big Fish Island & CJ Are A Jealousy-Inspiring Combo
The Two Aren’t That Rare On Their Own, But Chances Of Getting Both Are Low
Once in a while, when players use Orville’s airport to travel to a mystery island, they end up on Big Fish Island. This island is exactly what it sounds like:an island where all the fish are of the larger variety. Fishing on this island makes it much easier to capture the larger and rarer variety of fish like Arowana, Arapaima, Dorado, and Red Snappers—which the Redditor’s inventory is full of.
The other half of this windfall is CJ being present on the player’s island. CJ is a fish enthusiast who shows up on the island randomly andbuys fish from the player at 150% of Tom Nook’s rate. Big Fish Island and CJ aren’t that rare on their own, but getting both on the same day is a stroke of luck.
