Seeing Bai Yi's barbecue grill and the big fish in the bucket, other anglers who had returned empty-handed asked if they could borrow his fish to take a picture.
"Dude, please, can I borrow your fish to post something on my WeChat Moments? I can do anything!"
"Can you do everything? You really only think about yourself."
Through conversation, Bai Yi learned that these adventurers were fishing purely out of hobby.
However, their friends have already posted pictures of their big catches, so it would be embarrassing if they were the only ones who came away empty-handed.
"So why don't you just go to the market and buy one?"
"After we finish filming, we'll go buy some fish, but the ones we post on WeChat Moments have to be wild-caught, that's what gives them their soul."
To make the fish appear larger, these people even prepared special ornaments smaller than the real thing, which were placed next to the fish to accentuate their size.
Bai Yi: ……
What else could he say? These fishermen are surprisingly persistent in this kind of place.
Is it possible that their friends actually bought the fish from the market?
"Indeed, there is still a lot I need to learn. This world is truly full of wonders."
Picking up a cleaver (played by Holy Sword), she skillfully prepares the fish to be grilled, and incidentally uses water magic to process the other fish that are used for soup, braised, and steamed.
During this time of day, some anglers also cook in this open space, each displaying their unique skills.
Like Bai Yi, some people tried cooking with magic. Others mastered necromancy, controlling the skeletons of dead fish and letting them cook for themselves. Still others, after adding all the seasonings, started performing shamanistic rituals, praying for the blessing of the god of cooking.
In an environment that can be described as an abstract collection of humanity, Bai Yi's cooking looks unremarkable.
However, the unique fragrance was so distinct that it made people curious about where it came from.
"Well, it's about time."
Half an hour later, Bai Yi prepared to open one of the pots, which contained a large pot of fish soup.
When he cooks, he makes sure to estimate the time so that the dishes are prepared in the correct order, ensuring that each dish is eaten at the perfect time.
"Whoosh..."
The moment the lid was opened, golden light shone once more, and the aroma emanating from the glowing dish even caused the lake to boil.
Many people, caught off guard and facing Bai Yi directly, were blinded by the light.
"What happened? What happened? What happened?"
The commotion here was quite significant, with some even suspecting that someone had used a spell on the fish because they were too afraid of getting caught fishing.
Fortunately, the patrolmen arrived; the dwarven assassins from before were also fishing here.
After a brief explanation of Bai Yi's identity, the brief confusion veered in another strange direction.
Many anglers came to Bai Yi, asking if they could take a photo with him, since he was a legendary hero, and before today, none of them had ever seen him in textbooks.
It was because of the liveliness here that a dragon appeared on the originally calm lake surface, as if it wanted to see what was going on.
It is one of the higher-level creatures in the lake and has a cooperative relationship with the adventurers' guild on the shore. For example, if some fishermen's fishing rods are dragged into the water, it will control the fish to collect some of them and then find humans to recycle them.
These fishing rods, after being processed once more, can be placed in shops along the shore for anglers to use.
(Mysterious voice-over: What's this? Did the fish set us up again?)
As for how Bai Yi feels right now?
