Chapter 264 The fishing competition begins, Cao Xing leads the way (6000)
After assigning the long bow, Cao Xing looked at the attributes of the other drawing.
[Water well construction drawings]
[Drawing effect: A shaft for extracting groundwater can be built in the territory]
[Durability: 200]
[Depth: 20 meters ~ 200 meters]
[Construction cargo materials: stone*72, wood*52, iron*20, primary element crystal*5]
[Time required for construction: 17:17...]
…
"This thing is quite convenient."
"Although there is no shortage of water resources in this world, with the addition of wells, it is more convenient to obtain water."
Cao Xing put it into his backpack.
At this point, two of the three goals for this trip to [Annuo River Village] have been completed!
The mission of Trial of Generosity is completed.
The shabby doll quest is also completed.
Now, there is one last goal, and that is to participate in the fishing tournament.
Moreover, Cao Xing also wants to win the fishing competition championship!
I looked at the time, it was eleven o'clock in the morning.
The fishing competition starts at one o'clock in the afternoon.
But it's soon.
Cao Xing said: "Okay, there is still more than an hour before the fishing competition. Let's take a walk around the village."
After hearing this, everyone nodded.
Then, they left the place.
At this point, [Annohe Village], a forbidden area that has existed for nearly a hundred years, has completely disappeared today.
Jenna has killed all her enemies and left without any regrets...
For the next time, Cao Xing wandered around Annuohe Village.
Time passes slowly...
Soon, it was one o'clock in the afternoon.
That's when the fishing competition starts.
Cao Xing, who was wandering around, suddenly heard the sound of a trumpet.
"Attention, folks in Annohe Village, this fishing competition is about to begin!"
"All contestants please gather on the river as soon as possible!"
Hearing the sound, a large number of villagers began to rush out of the village.
Then he walked towards the river next to him that was covered with ice and looked like a jade belt.
Assam and others looked at each other.
Cao Xing said: "Let's go, we will go there too."
They followed the noisy team and soon reached their destination.
…
…
After a few minutes.
This Anno River, which is four to five kilometers wide, gathers a large number of people.
On the shore, a large number of figures stopped to watch. Some of them were nearby villagers, some were wandering mercenaries, and some even numbered in the thousands.
On the ice of the Anno River, dozens of figures stood scattered.
They were separated by almost a few hundred meters.
These people on the ice are the participants in this fishing competition.
These contestants look different, old and young.
Among them, there are even many creatures of other races.
For example, the Shire tribe, the dwarves, and Cao Xing even saw a few orcs.
They all held their number plates high and were eager to try.
Including Cao Xing, who was also holding the number plate [No. 47] with one hand at this time.
Next to him stood the big man Bronn.
Regardless of his size or momentum, he is outstanding among the many contestants on the field!
Cao Xing asked: "Bron, are you ready?"
The big man patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Lord, this time, Bronn will definitely catch a lot of big fish."
Cao Xing smiled and nodded, then handed the [48] number plate and [Dragon Pattern Wooden Fishing Rod (gold)] to Bronn.
at the same time.
He took out 15 green-grade pet rations and 5 blue-grade pet rations from his backpack and gave them to Bronn.
Now, there are 35 green pet rations left in his backpack, 15 blue ones, and 7 purple ones.
It's not yet known how effective it will be for fish in the Anno River.
So he planned to test the water first, and if the fish in the river worked well, he would catch more fish.
Bron took it excitedly.
Cao Xing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on, Bron."
"As you command, Lord Lord, Bronn will definitely not lose your prestige."
After saying that, he quickly left to find his own fishing spot.
at the same time.
A figure slowly walked over the river. It was the middle-aged man who was responsible for registration before.
He was stroking his goatee on his chin and holding a microphone-like prop in his hand with a loudspeaker stone embedded at the top.
This stone amplifies his voice.
"Ahem——"
A hollow voice sounded.
Goatee cleared his throat, and then said: "Folks from Annuo River Village, welcome to visit this fishing competition!"
"The competition is about to begin, all contestants please get ready!"
The sound echoed across the lake.
The villagers were very enthusiastic.
Cao Xing had a smile on his face, "This microphone is pretty good, and the sound quality is quite clear. I'll see if I have a chance to get it soon. I'll use it specifically to give Cao Yi a speech."
At this moment, the middle-aged man continued: "Contestants, please pay attention. I think you all understand the specific rules of the competition. The rewards in this fishing competition are very generous!"
"I hope you can work hard and strive for a good ranking!"
At this time, a Shir tribe asked: "Host, I would like to ask who is the organizer this time? Such a big gesture is very rare."
Including other people who heard this question also echoed, and everyone was very curious about the mysterious organizer of the Lord.
This time, although it was just a fishing competition held in a village.
But the rewards have reached the town level!
This is a very rare thing in the fishing community.
The goatee host chuckled and said: "Our organizer this time is very mysterious. I can't reveal his identity until he takes the initiative to come forward."
"However, if you win the championship or runner-up reward, you can meet our organizers."
Hearing this, everyone on the field became even more curious.
The goatee host looked at the time and said directly.
"Okay, the time has come. All contestants, please prepare and dig out your fishing spots."
"Then catch more fish within the specified time!"
"The competition lasts for two hours. After two hours, the ranking will be based on points!"
"Then now, the fishing competition officially begins!"
"roar!!"
The excited shouts of the onlookers came from the shore.
"Haha! It finally started!"
"Mr. Daizel, come on!"
"Father! This is a competition that I used my family's savings to sign up for you. You must get a good place!"
"Son! For winning first place, our whole family is proud of you!"
At this moment, the contestants on the ice looked at each other and then quickly dispersed.
They need to hurry up and start fishing!
Like dozens of ants swimming on the ice, they quickly found their fishing spot.
But just when everyone was about to start fishing, they seemed to have encountered a problem.
That is, the ice on the river is too thick!
Although it is not as exaggerated as Luoxue Lake, it is still five or six meters thick.
At this time, the contestants were in a bit of trouble.
One contestant asked: "Host, how do we break the ice?"
"Yes, yes, such a thick layer of ice cannot be broken through in a short time."
However, the host stroked his goatee and said with a faint smile: "This problem... you can only figure out your own solution."
"After all, this competition lasts two hours. Whoever can break the ice first will get more time."
"That's part of the game."
After hearing the other party's explanation, everyone's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise.
Although the ice is very thick, those who can sign up and pay the 3,000 kroner registration fee are those who have confidence in themselves.
In this world, which fisherman hasn’t ordered an ice-breaking tool?
They began to show their special abilities.
Some people took out a crowbar and hammer, while others took out an iron chisel.
Started to hit hard.
"Dang! Dang!"
For a time, the entire lake was filled with knocking sounds.
At the same time, the contestants are secretly trying their best in their hearts!
As long as they can break the ice first, they can get more fishing time than others!
But Cao Xing and Bron were not in a hurry.
"Lord, Bronn is very strong. Please give me an iron sword or a spear. I can break an ice hole in a few minutes."
Cao Xing thought for a moment.
Then he looked at the host and said, "Excuse me, can I apply for off-field assistance?"
The goatee host knew Cao Xing and chuckled: "Of course you can, sir. It's your own ability to hire foreign aid."
"Including other people, if you have off-site assistance, you can also call them over."
"Of course, you still have to do it yourself when it comes to fishing."
The contestants looked slightly moved.
Some locals in Annuohe Village called their family and friends to help break the ice cave.
Other contestants from out of town could only silently hold the tools in their hands and concentrate on tapping!
Cao Xing looked at Lu En on the shore and waved to him.
This tall dragon-blooded fighter quickly came to Cao Xing's side.
"Lord, please give me your orders."
Cao Xing said: "Lu En, help us break open two ice caves. The diameter is about one meter. Can you do it?"
Rune glanced at the ice, then nodded: "No problem, Lord."
"Okay, let's dig an ice cave here first."
"As you command!"
Rune instantly clenched the spear in his hand, and then took a deep breath.
The next moment, his rock-hard muscles suddenly bulged!
"Buzz!"
A tyrannical momentum burst out of his body!
Lu En said in a deep voice: "Lord, please take a few steps back!"
After hearing this, Cao Xing quickly retreated. The next moment, Luen kicked his feet and exploded!
Two spider web-like cracks actually appeared on the thick ice.
With the help of this terrifying impact, Rune instantly jumped tens of meters into the air.
The onlookers on the shore looked at the voice in mid-air in shock, and said in surprise: "Oh my God! This warrior is flying, so strong!"
"Yes, it's amazing! He can jump so high all at once. This is simply the strongest warrior I have ever seen!"
At this moment, Rune clenched his spear in mid-air.
Then it fell like a shooting star!
"Boom!"
In an instant, the tip of the gun collided with the ice with a terrifying impact!
A violent impact sounded, and a terrifying wave of ice chips rushed up from the spot.
The terrifying movement made everyone on the scene turn their attention to this place.
However, they could not see anything. The area was covered with ice chips.
"So... so scary..."
"Gods above me, that strong warrior is so terrifyingly powerful!"
"With such strong strength, is he the baron's knight captain?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I have seen the baron's knight captains, but none of them are as powerful as this one!"
Amidst the exclamations.
Ice chips all over the sky gradually fell.
Then, an ice cave about 1.2 meters wide appeared on the spot, with edges that were not too round.
Compared to a powerful figure like Qinon Dutra, who is unknown to many levels, Rune can achieve this level, which is already very good.
Cao Xing praised: "Lu En, you did a good job."
Luen smiled sheepishly.
"Now, go help Bronn open an ice cave."
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
Rune quickly came to Bronn's side and followed suit.
After the terrifying shock.
Soon an ice cave of the same size appeared in front of Bronn.
It took less than a minute from the time we arrived at Luen to the time we opened the two ice caves.
So far, less than three minutes of the two-hour game have passed.
Cao Xing's fishing spot has been opened.
At this time, other contestants were waving the tools in their hands, causing damage to the ice surface.
However, it took them so long to break through less than ten centimeters of ice.
According to the ice thickness of the Anno River, it would take them at least dozens of minutes to open an ice cave.
By then, half of the game time has passed...
Thinking of this, the other contestants became a little anxious.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a thin appearance, holding a hammer and an awl in his hand stood up and said: "Host, they are cheating!"
"That's not fair!"
However, the organizer glanced at him and said, "I said, according to the rules of the competition, you can apply for foreign aid."
“In addition to having to do it yourself when fishing, you can let others help by breaking the ice to open fishing spots.”
"As a qualified fisherman, and everyone has lived in this world since childhood, haven't you considered this situation?"
"You don't even have this kind of awareness, how can you still say that you are a professional fisherman?"
After being retorted by the host, the person was speechless.
Because what he said is indeed true.
In this world, no matter where you go fishing, you have to face the problem of breaking through the ice.
There is no way to break the ice, which means that this bowl of rice is not suitable for eating.
The young man who spoke lowered his head, and then banged the big hammer in his hand.
Everyone else, including others, also took the time to dig into the ice!
At this time, Bronn shook the [Black Grained Wooden Fishing Rod] in his hand and smiled: "Aha! Bronn can show off his skills!"
Cao Xing took out the Crazy King Fishing Rod without any haste, and then hung up a [Special Pet Food (Green)], ready to try the fish mouth first.
Compared with Luoxue Lake, the water of Annuo River is flowing.
The cold river water continues to flow through the ice under your feet, making a gurgling sound...
Cao Xing looked down and couldn't see how deep the river was, nor how many creatures were hidden under the water.
But the creatures that can survive in this world are naturally those that have completed biological evolution.
He slowly put the fishing line into the water, then took out a small bench from his backpack and waited leisurely.
Not only that, he also took out a roasted rabbit leg from his backpack and gnawed it while fishing.
If this was not the fishing competition, Cao Xing would have even wanted to call Renise, Sarah, and Liu Muxue over.
Isn't it beautiful to have two beauties squeezing your legs and one beauty slapping your shoulders?
Just as Cao Xing was thinking about this, he suddenly felt a slight movement from the fishing rod.
In an instant, he reacted.
"Oh? Fishing so quickly?"
At this moment, the fish that bit the hook began to struggle under the water, and Cao Xing directly held the Crazy King fishing rod.
The title of [Fishing Master] can increase his strength and fishing success rate, and the epic-level [Crazy King Fishing Rod] has terrifying endurance.
Dealing with this kind of fish in the river is a piece of cake!
"Wow... Wow..."
The sound of water kept ringing.
After being in a stalemate for thirty seconds, Cao Xing felt that the strength of the fish underwater seemed to be a little slack.
He seized the opportunity and suddenly mentioned it!
“Wow!”
A fish with pale yellow scales, an oval body, a large head and a small mouth was caught by Cao Xing.
This pale yellow fish, nearly half a meter long, kept jumping up and down on the cold ice, as if it wanted to swim back into the water.
Before Cao Xing could go over to check the attributes.
The host nearby used the loudspeaker in his hand to shout: "Contestant No. 47, excellent quality, one cichlid fish, 2 points!"
The race recordkeeper on the shore quickly turned over the scoreboard.
Seeing this scene, the snapper personnel who were struggling to dig the ice cave suddenly stopped what they were doing and looked at it one after another!
They comforted themselves and said: "Fortunately, they are just high-quality cichlids. They don't add many points, so they can catch up soon!"
However, having said that, everyone on the field acted harder.
Cao Xing walked over directly and collected the fish.
[Obtain: Cichlid fish (green)*1]
…
"Oh? It's really a cichlid fish. It seems that this host has some skills."
Cao Xing looked at the attributes.
【Cichlid fish (green)】
[Level: Level 3]
[Weight: 3.6KG]
[Effect: First time consumption, mental +3, physical +1]
(Note: Cichlid fish has high requirements for water quality and is delicious. It can be directly broken down into 3 pieces of cichlid fish meat, which can also be sold to merchants or shops in the city.)
…
"Add 3 points of spirit and 1 point of constitution? As a green-quality fish, it's not bad."
Cao Xing nodded secretly.
If a snapper of this weight were to be sold, one fish would cost about three to four thousand crowns.
Cao Xing's current investment is only 1,000 crowns, and the net profit is two or three times, which is still very good.
at the same time.
Before everyone could come to their senses.
The big man over there, Bronn, also suddenly mentioned it!
A light yellow snapper, similar in size to Cao Xing's, was lifted up!
Bronn laughed and said: "Haha, Bronn has also arrived, Lord Lord!"
Cao Xing smiled and encouraged: "Not bad, keep up the good work."
The host is still the first to announce.
"Contestant No. 48, excellent quality, one cichlid fish, 2 points!"
The scorer on the shore quickly turned over the score board again.
So far, 5 minutes have passed in the game.
Cao Xing and Bron have both caught a snapper one after another.
The other contestants have not even broken through the ice hole so far.
If this continues, the gap will only grow wider.
This made everyone more anxious.
"Dang! Dang!"
The sound of hammer hammering kept ringing.
Cao Xing slowly put down the second bait.
This time, it was still less than 2 minutes.
Cao Xing felt the movement from the fishing rod again.
And this time, the struggle is even more intense!
“Haha, the effect of the special pet ration is as outrageous as ever!”
“It’s been less than two minutes since we caught another fish!”
You know, fishing in the river is not as difficult as fishing in Luoxue Lake.
After all, one water is flowing and the other is relatively still.
However, the appeal of special pet rations to fish is too strong!
Cao Xing was overjoyed, and then grabbed the fishing rod hard.
"Whoa... whoa!"
Huge forces kept coming from under the lake.
This underwater creature is extremely powerful, but it is still easy for Cao Xing now.
After Cao Xing was in a stalemate with it for dozens of seconds, he suddenly raised it!
A large fish with a reddish-pink body, a pair of upper and lower fins, and graceful lines, which was sixty or seventy centimeters long, was suddenly lifted up by Cao Xing.
"Plop!"
This big red fish was thrown to the ground by Cao Xing.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers suddenly became curious.
"By the gods, what kind of fish is that?"
"Yes, it looks so big, it must be worth a lot of money, right?"
The host next to him, after taking a closer look, immediately shouted: "Contestant No. 47, a mullet fish of excellent quality, worth 5 points!"
A cheer suddenly erupted from the shore.
Although they don't know what a mullet is.
After all, the words "excellent quality" alone prove the value of this fish.
At this time, a villager on the shore shouted loudly: "Host, what kind of fish is mullet? Is it very precious?"
The host explained: "Although the mullet is not our main fish in this competition, it is also a precious magic fish."
"It is said that its meat naturally has a light fragrance. After it is boiled into soup, the taste can be described as the fragrance spreads ten miles away."
"And its scales are also very useful. After being ground into powder, it is said to have beautifying effects. It is the favorite of noble ladies."
"This mullet fish looks like it weighs seven or eight pounds. If sold, it would be worth at least more than 40,000 crowns!"
Hearing this number, there was an exclamation of surprise on the field.
"Oh my God! How can a fish be sold for so much?"
"What a magical big fish this is!"
The villagers on the shore had shock in their eyes.
After all, more than 40,000 crowns is enough for a family to spend for the past two years!
