<h4>Chapter 133: Fishing Master</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion <strong>Editor: </strong>EndlessFantasy Trantion
Not only could the Tattered Treasure Bag contain legendary equipment but those who opened it also had the chance to obtain Skill Points and Attribute Points. As long as you had a fishing rod, it was not necessary for you to seek for fishing spots. That was because there would be a definite probability that you would be able to hook something up even if you cast an empty hook into the water, even without cing any fishing bait there. If you had great luck, you could hook all the fish in a few minutes. However, if your luck was even just a tad worse, it would take about 5 or 6 hours.
Of course, since it was extremely easy to obtain Skill Points and Attribute Points, the number that they could obtain was naturally limited. The highest number of Skill Points was 2 while the maximum number of Attribute Points was +1 for each ability type. Once they had capped this limit, they could only wait until the next year to get more again.
Since everyone could obtain these rewards without having to use any skills and would just need to lower their hook, this was the primary reason as to why the Fishing Grand Prix had truly piqued the interest of all the yers.
After looking at the messages that appeared during the System’s red-words-spam, the yers who initially did not n to enter had now selected to join one after another. Thus, the size of the Mysterious Little Ind began to increase frenziedly and dramatically...
Numerous boats would infinitely respawn near the little ind but due to the sheer surplus of yers who disembarked here, the number of boats that respawned werepletely insufficient to supply them. The ind was in a hubbub while the sound of cursing andughter flew around simultaneously.
A single boat could ferry 5 people, and the boat captain who was already on the boat could invite another 4 members to join him there. Regardless of where the other 4 people were located, as long as they selected their confirmations, they would immediately be teleported onto the boat.
tinum Hand’s leader, the mysterious girl in ck did note but Moonlight Ocean and Fire Ice had arrived. Snickersnee and Little Elf from the Magical Realm were also there. As for Chen Yang, he had already found another group of people to team-up with.
Your final position in the Fishing Grand Prix did not really matter on whether you formed a group or not. Those who formed groups merely did it so that it would be more convenient to find fishing spots, just like Li Yi now. Although he did not truly fancy fishing, he hade to this ce on numerous asionsst time for the sake of Attribute Points and Skill Points in his previous life. Hence, he somewhat still knew most of the fishing spotsprehensively. With Li Yi around to guide them, his team members on the boat were rxed as they could merely lower their fishing rods and fish.
Snickersnee was in charge of steering while Li Yi directed him. They would stop every time they arrived at a fishing spot before the 5 people would lower their rods and start to fish together.
The person who fished the most types of fish in the shortest amount of time would be the champion of the Fishing Grand Prix.
The fishes that were hooked by the yers could be traded but these would not be counted as the types that they had obtained. Only the fishes that one hooked by themselves would be counted.
All the types of fish in the game could be fished in one of Pantheon’s Seven Secret ces, Water World. Including more than ten types of fish that could be specially found in Water World, there were over 500 types of fish species to be found in Pantheon.
The waters were boundless, and there would be a fishing spot every few hundred meters or so. Only by casting one’s fishing hook into the fishing spot and angling it would one be able to hook special types of fish.
With that being said, Snickersnee’s Fishing Mastery was extremely high. Although he had wasted some time steering, he would always be the first one to hook a fish and would quietly wait for the other 4 people when he was done.
One’s Mastery would dramatically increase by 1 to 5 times of its normal speed when they fished in Water World. The moment they lifted their rod, it would be extremely normal for their Mastery to rise by 8 or 9 points if they were fortunate. Due to this, Li Yi and the three others did not hinder Snickersnee. Other than being slightly slower when they had just started fishing, there were no more problems at all after that.
However, the Tattered Treasure Bag’s drop rate was extremely high during the initial stage. In light of Li Yi’s warning, they would wait until they had umted more of these Bags before they opened them. When everyone had umted around 20 of them, they would open them together so that the System’s spam would immediately sh continuously.
All 5 of them only obtained Skill Points and Attribute Points once but besides that, Fire Ice had obtained a gold-colored treasure map due to a burst of luck. Although the others were not as lucky, they had also obtained two rewards that were neither too good nor too bad.
As the fishing event carried on for 2 hours, although the Tattered Treasure Bag’s drop rate decreased, the produced items became rarer and more valuable.
Eventually, the boat that was steered by Li Yi and the 4 others drifted further away from the rest of the yers. They had already collected 19 types of fish as of now.
The sound of cursing andughter on the Mysterious Little Ind unceasingly continued as before. Encountering so many unfamiliar faces all at once shocked numerous people. This was especially apparent when they saw the ck men who were dressed in long robes and held staffs, which made them feel even more surprised.
In order to match the bustling scene, there were at least thousands of blonde-haired, blue-eyed, and beautiful foreign female yers who had stripped and ran around, wearing clothes that only covered the three important parts. This stirred the spirits of the yers who initially did not n toe here. Clicking sounds could be heard as they energetically took pictures as souvenirs.
“Hello, prettydy. Pretty~dy, can you understand what I’m saying?”
Scumbag Wang was only wearing a pair of underpants when he swayed in front of a beautiful blonde female yer who had stripped.
The beautiful blonde female yer smiled sweetly at Scumbag Wang while she moved her body.
Scumbag Wang’s mind stirred. He suddenly jumped into the water and used his mouth to bite the beautiful blonde female yer’s fishing hook before he floated up.
“You’ve hooked me now so you have to be responsible for me too.”
“p!”
The beautiful blonde female yer bluntly pped him across the face and cursed him with a ‘f*ck you’ before storming away.
“Your loss.”
Scumbag Wang spat at the beautiful blonde before he swam towards a ck babe with an ample bosom and big buttocks.
“Hello, prettydy~ You’re so fair.”
It was fortunate that this mysterious map called Water World did not permit PKs between yers. Regardless of which side of power you belonged to, everyone was the same once they arrived here.
...
As the boat continued to row forward, the fishing spots in the vicinity became rarer. There were even times when they could only hook two or three fishes before the fishing spot would disappear.
The System’s announcement spam had yet stopped. However, most of them were messages about Attribute Points and Skill Points while the messages that were really about obtaining good items were extremely infrequent.
The rare item drop rate had never been high before and it would still be exactly the same eight yearster.
When Li Yi’s Fishing Mastery had broken through to 2000 points, the power of the Wind-battered Fishing Hat appeared. Li Yi’s fishing speed and Snickersnee’s were almost on par now.
His fishing bobber violently quivered while Li Yi spared no effort to raise it before a three meters long Gold-armored King Crab was lifted up.
[Gold-armored King Crab: Super rare sea creature, using it immediately will result in a +1 to all of your own Attribute Points. If it is cooked as a Steamed King Crab, it can be used by 10 people and will result in a +2 increase of all of their own Attribute Points.]
He had obtained it!
After fishing for almost 3 hours, he had finally hooked a good item.
Would the price of a Super Large Crab that could increase one’s own permanent Attribute Points be low? Even if he did not consume it, it would be valued at more than a few million at the Auction House.
Li Yi had recently obtained the Gold-armored King Crab when he saw Little Elf from the Magical Realm lift her fishing rod as a Red-scaled Fish with mes burning across its entire body was hooked up. That suddenly made everybody stare nkly at it.
[Fire Red-scaled Fish: Super rare fish species, using it immediately will result in a permanent 5 point increase of the Fire Resistance in one’s own body. If it is cooked as a Boiled Red-scaled Fish and eaten, it will result in a permanent increase of 10 points of Fire Resistance in one’s own body.]
It was another rare breed!
“Don’t stare nkly, fish quickly because this Secret ce is only open once a year. Once our time is up, we’ll be teleported back.”
When they heard Li Yi’s loud shout, only then did the others return to their senses and cast down their hooks to start fishing again.
If they did not devote themselves to research before fishing but embraced a purely recreational attitude instead, there were probably only about 30 over types of fish species that they could hook. Yet if they desired to dedicate themselves to researching this, there was a lot of knowledge to learn in this matter.
Among other things, catching crab-types required them to use their rods horizontally whereas smaller fish species needed to be lifted quickly, whilerger fish species needed to be indirectly caught. These specific knacks were fairly advanced.
There was an extremely amazing pure lifestyle ss yer in the previous world whose name was Bai Xiaofei. He had spent 7 years running around King of Pantheon’s four continents and had fished a total of over 500 different species of fish which then allowed him to obtain the equally amazing title of Fishing King. The reward of this title was a permanent +20 throughout all of his own attributes. It was legendary to yers who liked fighting but it was not very useful to the pure lifestyle ss yers.
The student Bai Xiaofei was precisely a pure lifestyle ss yer. Thus, the reward of this title waspletely useless to him and he received another nickname after that.
Bai Xiaofei, whom people took turns to call ‘Emperor Pain-in-the-ass’ a thousand times, ran across the four continents in which he did not do it for fame, but for fish instead.
Opinions on the highest achievement of fishing were widely divided. Though one aspect that was worth to confirm was that the Fishing King title was certainly not the highest achievement of the Fishing ss because even Emperor Pain-in-the-ass, Bai Xiaofei had yet to catch all species of fish in the game.
...
When Li Yi caught 55 types of fish, a System Notification rang out, [You’ve caught 55 types of fish species and obtained the ‘Angler’ title.]
The Angler title did not have any additional rewards as it was the earliest fishing achievement.
The three women were not worth mentioning because they had not even obtained the Angler title. Whereas Snickersnee was extremely strong, and his title was promoted to Fishing Master.
At this moment, Snickersnee smiled and kept his rod before he said, “I’ve just received a System Notification asking whether I wanted to move on to the next map.”
“It’ll be fine if you choose to do it because we’re stillcking a few types.”
“It doesn’t matter, I’ll wait for you guys.” Snickersnee smiled simple-mindedly. He was not concerned with a false reputation at all and that was definitely worth being called as one of the best lifestyle ss yers.
Li Yi shook his head and said, “You don’t have to wait, there’s no need. The location of the second map that you’ll be teleported to ispletely at random. Since there aren’t any coordinates disyed here, we can’t be certain whether we’ll even meetter.”
“Alright then.” Snickersnee scratched his head before his body disappeared.
The System’s red-words-spam was temporarily suspended before a rainbow-colored message appeared.
[yer Snickersnee has sessfully reached the finals and entered the depths of Water World.]
The System continuously spammed the rainbow-colored message three times, causing the other yers to look at it in a stupefied manner. No one had ever imagined that such an awesome scene could actually be drawn just by fishing.
The rainbow-colored messages were characters that would only appear when divine weapons came into being. Up until the present, this was the first time it had happened even though the King of Pantheon game had already been running for more than half a year!
“Who’s Snickersnee? F*ck me, why haven’t I heard of his name even once before?”
“Why are you asking me? I’ve never heard of him either.”
“F*ck, I know who he is. Apparently, he was an NPC in the Novice Vige and I don’t know how he did it but he ran to Shattered Frost City after that. I’d frequently ask him for directionsst time.”
“Me too. That NPC named Snickersnee is really enthusiastic and he’d tell you anything you asked. He would even give away weapons for free of charge. Oh man, I just realized today that he was actually a yer too...”
The appearance of the rainbow-colored message caused all of the yers to be frantic. This, however, was merely the beginning!
About five minutes had passed before the System’s rainbow-colored message appeared once again.
[yer Dark Wing has sessfully reached the finals and entered the depths of Water World.]
The yers were shocked yet again!
