In the 280th year of the Daqing era, as you set sail, you saw two figures fighting on the lake, their sword energy slicing through the water several meters high. You quickly rowed away.
The following day, the Qinghe Gang issued an order for all fishermen to set out on their boats and search for a young man near Qinghu Lake. You realize that he is one of the two martial artists who fought yesterday.
The fishermen found nothing. A month later, as the storm subsided, you lamented that you weren't destined to be the protagonist.
[In the 283rd year of Daqing, you are 28 years old, a very mature fisherman. Your 1.26 times stronger foundation makes your strength, vitality, and endurance far superior to others. While some fishermen of the same age have aged prematurely due to long-term hard work, you are still full of energy and in your prime.]
In the 284th year of the Daqing era, Uncle Ji's daughter, Ji Xiaoyu, would spend all her time playing with you.
In the 285th year of the Daqing era, you heard that the Qing Kingdom had started a war with the neighboring Wu Kingdom, and you thought to yourself, "What's it to you?"
Three months later, you were forcibly conscripted into the army.
You join the army and undergo a month and a half of training, but you suspect someone is embezzling your pay because the meals are only enough to make you 70% full.
It could also be that you're more capable, which is why you have a bigger appetite.
[Having undergone training that includes the basics of martial arts, you consider yourself a mediocre martial artist.]
In the 286th year of the Daqing reign, you were assigned a spear and a suit of wooden armor, and arrived at the front lines with the army.
After only one day of rest, your unit was put into action. In a battlefield with thousands of soldiers, you and a familiar comrade stood guard behind each other, barely surviving the fierce fighting.
Suddenly, a fierce general charged out from the Wu Kingdom's army, wielding a meteorite hammer weighing hundreds of pounds, sweeping across the battlefield. You tried to avoid him, and you successfully did.
But he casually smashed one of your soldiers to pieces with a hammer, and half of the soldier's hand landed on your head, knocking you unconscious on the spot.
You lay unconscious on the battlefield, never to wake again; you died.
Please select the following reward inheritance options.
1. Detailed memories of seventeen years.
2. One and a half months of military martial arts skills training + physical conditioning
3. Increase the foundation by 17%.
"Of course it's 3!" Yun Shou said without hesitation. Even if the effect of a month and a half of martial arts training was not bad, it could not compare to a full 17% improvement in foundation!
[Ding! Foundation +17%, current foundation 130%]
"1.3 times, that should be a bit better than the average person, right?" Feeling his body suddenly much lighter, Yun Shou couldn't help but stretch, his vitality surging out continuously.
He didn't have enough to eat when he was young, and his vital energy was severely depleted when he was twelve, resulting in his foundation being 114% weaker than that of an average person...
And now, 130% is definitely a step above the average person!
Yun Shou felt a sense of triumph: "Now those martial arts schools that looked down on me in the simulation..."
He paused for a moment. Most of those martial arts schools still looked down on him. He was only slightly better than ordinary people, but he was still an ordinary person.
If you want a martial arts school to beg to take you in as a disciple, you'll probably have to wait until your foundation increases by 200% or even 300%!
He shook his head. One simulation could not lead to instant success. He hadn't even reached the most basic level of martial arts. He should just stick to fishing.
Let's fight again tomorrow!
On this day, Yun Shou's luck was average; he didn't encounter any large schools of fish.
However, thanks to his significantly increased strength and stamina, he found netting much easier today.
In the evening, they returned to Qinghe Village by Qinghu Lake and handed over the harvest to the cunning shopkeeper under the Qinghe Gang.
"Eleven catties and six taels, fifty-eight coins." The shopkeeper handed over a handful of copper coins with a sly smile.
Damn, what a rip-off!
Yun Shou cursed inwardly, but still accepted the copper coin with an excited expression.
It's said to be fifty-eight coins, but in reality it'll probably be four or five coins less. If he points this out to the shopkeeper, he'll likely get a beating instead.
Moreover, once it enters Qingcheng, this fish can sell for at least a hundred coins.
But this area is under the jurisdiction of the Qinghe Gang, and all the fishermen work under the Qinghe Gang.
Shopkeeper, this is the designated place to sell fish. If fishermen dare to go into the city to sell their fish, they won't need to fish here anymore.
Those like Yun Shou, who signed indentures, fared even worse; they would be beaten half to death!
"You wicked Qinghe Gang, you have taken advantage of me now, and I will settle accounts with you one day!"
Yun Shou made a fierce vow in his heart.
But for now, let's start from the heart.
On his way back to his dilapidated little house, he heard Old Wang scolding his son.
Old Wang was the same old fisherman who rescued him from the water two years ago.
Unfortunately, it was gone after two years in the simulation.
Old Wang's son used the money meant for his father's funeral to get married instead of burying him. Yun Shou was displeased by this, but Old Wang might have been even happier.
Because having a wife for one's son is far more important than being buried in the ground.
Of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no offspring.
Yun Shou greeted the two men, then went back to his room and fell asleep immediately.
Fishing is very physically demanding, and he didn't have the energy to do anything else after he got back.
The next day, early in the morning.
Yun Shou suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the system.
Another daily simulation opportunity is here.
What are you waiting for? Simulate—start!
[Ding! Foundation -1%, current foundation 129%]
[In the 269th year of Daqing, thanks to your good health, your daily fishing catches have been much better than before.]
In the 270th year of the Daqing era, Old Man Zhu from Qinghe Village caught a "Little Black Dragon," a very rare black-blooded fish, and was rewarded with thirty taels of silver by the Qinghe Gang.
Yun Shou: "Why didn't this scene appear last time...? Is it because the simulator only extracts certain parts of the story, or is it a butterfly effect caused by changes in my mindset and strength after one simulation?"
