After Chen Zhiyao returned from her shower, she opened the system's shop as soon as her hair was half-dry.
She was pleasantly surprised to find that there were many more items in the mall, and the lucky fishing rods had increased to three.
These three fishing rods look the same, but they are different colors.
The white one is the Level 1 Lucky Fishing Rod, which can only be purchased after unlocking the Level 1 Fishing section.
A level 1 Lucky Fishing Rod can increase the catch rate by 20%, attracting mostly large fish weighing over 10 pounds.
"A 20% increase in the catch rate seems pretty good, and it attracts mostly big fish."
Chen Zhiyao was about to exchange her fishing rod when she suddenly noticed a line of small gray text under it.
The Level 1 Lucky Fishing Rod is only effective for marine life weighing up to 20 catties.
"The text is so small and it's gray. This system is unfair."
Xiao Meng, standing to the side, didn't dare to speak. She flickered for a moment, then shrank into an even smaller ball of light.
Chen Zhiyao was full of questions. If it could only catch fish weighing less than 20 pounds, this lucky fishing rod seemed a bit weak.
"Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng, what does this mean? Is this fishing rod only suitable for catching fish weighing less than 20 pounds?"
"Is it only effective for marine life? Does that mean I can only fish in the sea? Does that mean I can't catch fish in rivers?"
In response to Chen Zhiyao's barrage of questions, a clear, melodious voice rang out:
"Tangtang, the level 1 Lucky Fishing Rod has a bonus range of 20 jin (10 catties). There are no restrictions on naturally hooked creatures, but those attracted by it are all marine creatures weighing less than 20 jin (10 catties)."
"You can fish in the river or the pond, but it will become a regular fishing rod and temporarily lose its bonus effect."
"So that means the 20% bonus only applies to marine life, right? That's a little better."
Just as Chen Zhiyao was about to place her order, she suddenly paused, then asked:
"What if I catch a fish weighing over 20 pounds? Will my rod break?"
This is very important. If she gets a fish weighing over 20 kilograms and breaks the rod, then all her 10,000 points will be wasted.
Xiaomeng calmly explained to her, "The limit of this fishing rod is 50 jin (25 kg). You can catch any fish weighing up to 50 jin (25 catties)."
Thinking about the two tuna I caught a couple of days ago, both weighing over 30 pounds, I can easily catch fish up to 50 pounds, which is enough.
So Chen Zhiyao decisively placed the order.
Immediately afterwards, the points page and toolbar changed.
Host: Chen Zhiyao
Level: Fishing Level 1, Beachcombing Level 3
Points: 6577
Perspective range: 3 meters on the ground, 10 meters in the sea.
Visible viewing time: three hours each day for both the land and sea areas.
Beachcombing tools: sand shovel, iron shovel, multi-purpose tongs, spade, 2 live fish buckets, 5 fish traps, water pump, and a first-class lucky fishing rod.
Chen Zhiyao took the newly acquired lucky fishing rod and began to examine it carefully.
Both in terms of feel and appearance, it's almost identical to her new 5,000 yuan fishing rod, only the color is different.
“My family owns a fishing tackle shop, and this fishing rod is an expensive item, so it's not easy to say that I bought it online. How can I tell my family?”
Suddenly, Chen Zhiyao excitedly slapped her thigh:
"Got it. Put this fishing rod in the system first, and take it out when we get to the beach tomorrow. Just say I found it on the beach."
"Great, great, that's a perfect excuse."
As she spoke, Chen Zhiyao happily put the fishing rod back into the toolbar.
Although the system does not have storage space, it does have a toolbar that can be used to store tools purchased from the store.
After setting down her fishing rod, she looked at the other two fishing rods. Although she couldn't afford to buy them, looking at them didn't cost any money.
The level 2 lucky fishing rod is yellow and can only be purchased after unlocking the level 2 fishing section.
A level 2 lucky fishing rod can increase the catch rate by 30%, attracting marine creatures weighing up to 50 kilograms.
The limit for fishing rods is 80 jin (40 catties). As long as the fish is not a giant weighing more than 80 jin, you can play with it as you like.
It can attract a 50-pound behemoth! Chen Zhiyao was so envious that her mouth was practically watering.
Unfortunately, this fishing rod costs 30,000 points, and she is still penniless.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhiyao's gaze fell on the bottommost bright red fishing rod.
The level 3 lucky fishing rod is fiery red, and you can only purchase it after unlocking the level 3 fishing section.
It can increase the catch rate by 40%, attracting marine creatures weighing up to 100 kilograms.
The maximum weight of the fishing rod is 120 jin (60 catties), and you can catch any fish weighing up to 120 jin (60 catties).
The enormous object weighing over 100 pounds made Chen Zhiyao's eyes light up; she couldn't wait to buy it.
However, this "big prize" requires 50,000 points, and she currently only has a little over 6,000 points, so she's still a long way from that goal.
"Fortunately, the money from selling fish and the points are separate. If I had to use money to buy fishing gear directly, no amount of money would be enough."
Chen Zhiyao suddenly realized that the system was actually quite good to her.
Although points are spent quickly, the money in the card is real.
A level one lucky fishing rod is actually enough for near-shore fishing. Chen Zhiyao plans to accumulate more points first, and then slowly work on the other fishing rods.
Although the money in the card was real, Chen Zhiyao still couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath as she logged out of the system:
"This system is a real rip-off; the things they sell are much more expensive than what we have at the fishing tackle shop back home."
With the system's comparison, Chen Zhiyao felt that her father was a conscientious and good boss.
Including the lucky fishing rod, she now has four fishing rods, which have witnessed her growth over this period of time.
The first fishing rod she received was a beginner rod given to her by her father when she first returned home.
The second fishing rod, also a gift from my dad, is a mid-range fishing rod capable of catching fish weighing up to 30 pounds.
These two poles are the ones she uses most often.
There are also fishing rods and lucky fishing rods that I bought specifically for deep-sea fishing.
Chen Zhiyao was somewhat fickle; having acquired the two new fishing rods, she no longer valued the two in front.
Thinking about how my dad recently broke a fishing rod and lost it, I decided to give him a beginner fishing rod.
Her dad's fishing skills are so-so; he's a noob but a big fisherman, so this rod should be enough for him.
As for the other intermediate pole, it can be used by my grandfather.
The old man is quite good at fishing; he's caught quite a few big fish lately.
After glancing at her newly bought lucky fishing rod one last time, Chen Zhiyao rolled over on the bed contentedly and then slowly fell asleep listening to the distant sound of the waves.
Chen Zhiyao was fast asleep, while Chen Weiqiang, who was fishing on the rocky beach, not only failed to catch a single fish, but also spent half the night feeding on mosquitoes.
When I came back, I had several huge mosquito bites on my neck and forehead.
