Chapter 11 Fishing
After getting the fishing rod, Ying Yuanxing found that it was not particularly late, and there was not much work to do on the farm, so he might as well stay and fish. Even without bait, he could still catch fish. The most he would have to wait was a little longer.
Ying Yuanxing looked around, chose the most protruding piece of land on the shore, stood on it, swung the fishing rod, and the fishing line sank into the water.
Ying Yuanxing didn't know that this was also the position that Li An used most often when fishing. His fishing rod trembled slightly.
Ying Yuanxing subconsciously pulled the rod, but the familiar fishing game did not appear. The fishing rod was empty and nothing was caught.
Ying Yuanxing glanced at his stamina bar and saw that it had dropped a little bit. Fortunately, the meal he had at the village chief's house had increased his stamina bar a lot. This loss was not a big deal, but he couldn't lose too much.
Ying Yuanxing swung the rod again and waited for a long time before he felt the fishing rod being pulled hard, and the familiar fishing game appeared in front of him.
Ying Yuanxing discovered that this mini-game now uses the brain to control the fishing bar. Compared with the mouse, brain control is obviously more flexible, but the fish also seems to be particularly flexible, fleeing very fast, up and down to escape the fishing bar. He must concentrate to keep up with the fish.
Ying Yuanxing was so focused on fishing that he didn't notice that the river, which had been calm just a moment ago, seemed to have some ripples.
After a struggle, Ying Yuanxing successfully caught a fish and stuffed the fish directly into his backpack, and continued fishing.
Time passed by minute by minute, the sun set, the night fell, the sound of gurgling water and the cry of crows came from nowhere, there was an indescribable feeling of desolation, but for Ying Yuanxing, this background sound was not too familiar.
After all, when playing games, there is too much to do during the day, and in the end, it is all in a rush to go fishing at night. This familiarity actually makes him more relaxed.
"Let's fish for a while longer. We have to go back at midnight." Ying Yuanxing looked at the time and said to himself.
Ying Yuanxing caught fish in the next few attempts. Although it was very difficult, the fish he caught were exceptionally big. The only difference was that the species of fish was different from the previous one, and there was not enough space in his backpack.
Ying Yuanxing looked at the fish in his hand, then at the small fish in his backpack, gritted his teeth and prepared to throw the fish away and put the big fish in. After all, he had asked when he was having dinner at the village chief's house, there would be a temporary market near the village every once in a while, where he could buy some things, and of course, he could also sell things.
Then the big fish is definitely more valuable than the small fish.
The fish you worked so hard to catch should be thrown away directly...
Wait a minute, Ying Yuanxing suddenly thought of a problem. This is not a pure game. There are some places where he can benefit by following the game, but there are some places where he will suffer losses by following the game. He can't take advantage of any loopholes.
Looking at the fish in his hand, Ying Yuanxing took two steps toward the shore, hesitated for a moment, took two more steps, and then threw a fish out of the backpack. The fish fell directly to the ground, and he successfully put the big fish into the backpack.
As for the fish on the ground, Ying Yuanxing picked up the fish and washed the dust off it in the water, preparing to take it back for breakfast. Although there was no kitchen, he could still grill the fish, but without any seasoning.
Just fish without seasoning, what is it supposed to taste like.
Ying Yuanxing was a little bit unable to imagine it, but fortunately, he had the skill of swallowing it in one bite. He didn't mind if it tasted bad, as long as he ate it, at least his stomach would be full.
Ying Yuanxing felt that with this skill, his cooking skills might improve dramatically. After all, when cooking, one is afraid that the food will not taste good and be wasted. But with this skill, he will not have any psychological burden.
However, it’s already midnight, and there seems to be no activity in the fishing tackle shop!
Ying Yuanxing looked towards the fishing tackle shop. In the night, the shop was pitch black, and there was a rather eerie atmosphere. However, Ying Yuanxing hoped that the dead fisherman would appear. The reason was simple. If the fisherman was there, he could sell the fish he caught directly to the fisherman, and he wouldn't have to spend time going to the market to sell the fish.
By the same token, if the grocery store was still open, he could sell his products to the grocery store, but now he has to do it himself if he wants to make money.
After waiting for a while, he found that there was still no movement in the fishing tackle shop. Ying Yuanxing estimated that if he didn't leave now, he might not have enough time on the road, so he had to leave in disappointment.
Not long after Ying Yuanxing left, the sound of water in the river became louder. A pale figure walked out of the water and walked straight to the door of the fishing tackle shop, only to find that the things that were originally placed here were gone.
The visitor sensed it and found that the curse attached to the fishing rod had been triggered, but the other party cracked it.
No, it's not a hack, it's... Even when you absolutely can't catch fish, you can still attract fish to take the bait
The visitor frowned, wondering if the curse was too severe. Without staying on the shore for long, he returned to the water and disappeared in an instant.
If the fishing rod had consciousness, it would definitely cry out for itself. It was always trying to get anything to take the bait, but once the hook was in the water, something would be hooked on it. Even if it tried not to cooperate, it seemed to have nothing to do with it whether or not the fish was caught. As long as the hook was bitten, it would not fall off unless Ying Yuanxing gave up.
It has never encountered such a rogue fisherman.
Ying Yuanxing was walking on the road when he didn't know that the owner of the fishing rod had come back and found that he had taken the fishing rod away.
After rushing for a long time, Ying Yuanxing finally returned to the farm before two o'clock. While Ying Yuanxing was anxiously waiting, two o'clock passed, but he did not fall asleep, which meant that he could work as late as he wanted.
Realizing what he was thinking, Ying Yuanxing shook his head violently, reminding himself that even if he was his own boss, he could not treat himself like a beast of burden, otherwise it would be even more miserable than being in the company.
Before going to bed, Ying Yuanxing thought for a moment and threw all the fish in his backpack into the small pond next to the wooden house. He planned to keep all the fish he had caught during this period in the pond and take them all away at once on market day.
Of course, if the species are different and can’t fit in the backpack, then make them into dried fish or something and sell them.
However, the fish would have to be raised for a few days after all, and Ying Yuanxing was worried that the fish would die. He rummaged through the box and found no fish feed, but some grass that had been harvested during the day.
Although it is not fermented, it might be edible, so he will try feeding it first.
Ying Yuanxing scattered a handful of grass into the pond and then went back to the cabin to rest.
In the pond, hearing no movement outside, a fish slapped the water fiercely, showing its ferocious appearance to the other two fish, and cursed: "As a weird fish, you were actually caught by someone."
This is not the most shameful thing. The most shameful thing is that the other party’s fishing hook didn’t even have bait on it, but they actually took the bait.
Now, he has been caught by the big monster and he doesn’t know when he will die.
The other two fish were scolded so much that they dared not say a word and just looked at each other. It would be fine if they were caught, but how did you get caught too, brother?
