Chapter 265: Far ahead, great harvest! (6000)
The mullet worth 40,000 crowns was easily caught by this young man with unpredictable strength.
This kind of money-making speed is really a bit outrageous!
Many villagers even want to go fishing!
However, as mentioned before, it is not easy to catch fish of this outstanding quality.
First, you need a fishing rod that is strong enough, and then you need to find a bait that will attract them to bite.
Finally, you must be physically strong enough not to be dragged down by the fish in the water, or to allow it to struggle to escape the hook.
These few conditions alone are not something ordinary people can achieve.
This is why fish of excellent quality can be sold at such high prices.
Naturally, other contestants also saw this scene.
"This must be a coincidence! This kid must just be lucky!"
"Everyone, don't panic, he only has 7 points, we still have a chance to catch up!"
"Yes, come on, everyone, we still have a chance!"
Cao Xing ignored them.
Instead, he walked forward and collected this beautiful-looking pale pink fish.
[Obtain: Mullet Fish (Blue)*1]
…
As the host said, this is a mullet fish.
Cao Xing looked at the attributes
【Rubber fish (blue)】
[Level: Level 9]
[Weight: 7.4kg]
[Effect: First consumption can increase hit rate by 3%]
(A fish with fresh and tender meat and a fragrant fragrance. It can be broken down into 7 pieces of mullet meat, and can also be sold whole.)
…
"Can it actually increase the hit rate by 3%?"
"Good guy, this mullet fish is quite effective as a blue-quality fish!"
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
And as he caught a second fish.
Bronn was not to be outdone.
A [Cichlid fish] about fifty or sixty centimeters was pulled up by Bronn again.
The host immediately reported: "Contestant No. 48, excellent quality, one cichlid fish, extra 2 points!"
Bronn's snapper is obviously bigger than the previous one.
However, the rule of this competition is not to see who catches the biggest fish, but to see who catches the most fish.
Regardless of the weight of the fish you catch, points will be awarded based on quality.
However, less than two minutes passed.
Cao Xing caught another fish here.
"Contestant No. 47, a good quality cichlid fish, extra 2 points!"
"Contestant No. 48, a good quality cichlid fish, extra 2 points!"
Almost every two or three minutes, the host shouts.
The contestants were still hard at work digging holes in the ice, but Cao Xing and Bron had already caught three or four fish in a row!
This fishing competition has become a show for the two of them.
If anything, once or twice is a coincidence.
So now, this is pure skill and technique!
At this moment, the group of contestants who were digging into the ice had puzzled looks in their eyes.
"What's going on? Why are they catching fish so fast?"
"Yes, this is fishing in flowing waters. They can actually catch a fish in two or three minutes. It's outrageous."
"I bet there must be something wrong with their bait! Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to catch fish so quickly!"
"Let's go ask these two guys what kind of bait they used."
However, everyone looked at the speaker as if they were an idiot.
Even if everyone knew there was something wrong with their bait, do you think the other party would tell them?
Moreover, because of Cao Xing and Bron, they would deliberately cover it every time they hung bait.
They couldn't tell at all what kind of bait was used.
Seeing it, fifteen minutes of game time have passed.
For a moment, all the contestants were anxious.
One of the Shire tribe suddenly shouted: "I want to apply for off-site support!"
After hearing this, the host chuckled and said, "Yes, you can do whatever you want."
The man immediately looked at the onlookers and said, "I need 10 able-bodied villagers to help me dig an ice cave. Each person pays 100 crowns!"
Upon hearing this price, the villagers on the shore suddenly stopped breathing.
100 crowns is a lot of money.
The villagers said excitedly: "I'll come, I'll come!"
"And me!"
The tall Ciel glanced at them and then randomly selected 10 stronger villagers.
The 10 people quickly came to the ice.
With their joining, this Ciel's ice cave digging speed has been greatly accelerated!
Other contestants also followed suit and began to use their cash abilities to ask the onlookers to come over and help dig ice caves.
Of course, this will inevitably cost some money!
This also made some contestants feel extremely depressed.
Because they had no extra money, they came to hire someone to help dig an ice cave.
After all, just 3,000 kroner for the competition has emptied many people's pockets.
Time passes slowly...
The host's announcements continued to sound.
So far, almost 20 minutes of game time have passed.
Cao Xing and Bron are already nearly 20 points ahead of them!
Not long after Cao Xing hung up the bait again and put the fishing line into the water.
He felt a huge force coming from him again!
And this time seems a little different from before.
Even the strong [Crazy King Fishing Rod] began to bend slightly.
"Oh? So powerful?"
At this moment, he also grasped the fishing rod tightly!
Then, a battle of endurance began with the underwater creatures.
"Crash! Crash!"
The underwater creatures kept struggling, but Cao Xing's hand holding the fishing rod remained motionless.
The stalemate lasted for almost a minute.
When he felt the strength of the fishing rod loosen.
Seize the opportunity and give it another swoop!
“Wow!”
A sea bream covered in blue stripes, with an oval body, a large head and a small mouth.
He was thrown directly onto the ice by Cao Xing.
"Poof! Poof!"
This snapper was almost over one meter in size and kept jumping around.
The host was shocked when he saw the creature on the ice.
He said in shock: "Contestant No. 47! An excellent quality blue snapper, plus 10 points for the competition!"
"This is also the first excellent quality snapper caught in this competition. Contestant No. 47 is really an experienced angler!"
The scoreboard flips.
In an instant, Cao Xing's points reached 31 points!
There was a huge gap between him and the others on the spot!
Under the envious eyes of other contestants.
Cao Xing walked over and put it away.
[Obtain: Blue Snapper (Blue)*1]
…
As usual, I looked at the properties.
【Blue striped snapper (blue)】
[Quality: Excellent]
[Weight: 7.7kg]
[Effect: After the first consumption, spirit +5, subsequent consumption can also restore a moderate amount of mental power]
(A type of snapper that contains a magical aura and has clear mental fluctuations. It is the favorite of the mage profession and can be broken down into 7 pieces of blue-striped snapper meat.)
…
"Oh? Not only can you increase your energy, but you can also restore your mental power."
"No wonder the system notes say that this kind of snapper is popular among mages!"
Cao Xing put it into his backpack with a satisfied smile on his face.
Then he started his next round of fishing.
Almost half an hour into the game.
The other contestants finally broke through the ice with difficulty.
Although the hole was small and irregular, it was enough for them to fish.
These contestants hurriedly drove away the crowd, took out their fishing rods, and started fishing.
As mentioned before, those who dare to participate in the fishing competition naturally have some ability.
But now, the gap between them and Cao Xing is already too big.
Unless they can catch a rare quality [Snowflake Snapper] right away, it will be difficult to close this gap.
However, a [Snowflake Snapper] is incredibly valuable.
To catch this creature, you not only need a powerful fishing rod, but also great strength!
But obviously, they do not have these conditions.
Not only that, the speed of those contestants catching fish was also much slower than that of Cao Xing.
The fishing line was put into the water, and it was not until five or six minutes passed that the first fish bit.
Just mentioning one thing in two or three minutes with Cao Xing, the gap is really huge!
No way, the effect of [Special Pet Ration] is so overbearing!
Moreover, Cao Xing is currently using only green-quality [special pet food].
There are more advanced pet rations in his backpack that he hasn't used yet.
Cao Xing also took his time and lifted the big fish out of the water.
[Obtain: Salmon (green)*1]
[Obtain: Yellow croaker (green)*1]
[Obtain: Blue Snapper (Green)*1]
【get……】
…
As the system prompts continue to sound.
One hour of game time has also passed.
Cao Xing and Bron have each used up 15 green pet rations.
So far.
Cao Xing caught 11 green quality fish and 4 blue quality fish.
Bronn also has a similar record.
He glanced at the scoreboard on the shore.
[Fishing Competition Points Ranking]
[First place: Player No. 47, 52 points]
[Second place: Player No. 48, 45 points]
[Third place: Contestant No. 13, 8 points]
[Fourth place: Player No. 8, 7 points]
…
Except for him and Bronn, obviously.
There is almost a cliff-like gap among the others, not even one with double-digit points.
If nothing unexpected happens next.
Then the final champion and runner-up are none other than them!
With a pleasant smile on Cao Xing's face, he took out more advanced rations from his backpack.
"Now, look at the blue pet rations. Can you give me a little surprise?"
After saying that, he hung up the bait and put the fishing line into the cold river water again.
"Crash... crash..."
The sound of water keeps flowing.
He sat on the small bench and waited quietly.
However, this time, in less than a minute, Cao Xing felt a huge force coming from him!
The drag force brought instantly is at least several hundred kilograms.
And Cao Xing also grabbed the fishing rod fiercely and firmly pulled the underwater creature. "Good guy, the blue quality pet food is as effective as ever!"
"The one who took the bait this time is definitely a big fish!"
Cao Xing was overjoyed!
Then continue to grab the fishing rod and fight the creatures below.
After more than a minute, the strength in his hands relaxed.
And Cao Xing also realized that the time had come!
He suddenly mentioned it on the spot!
A snapper with a body length of more than 1.5 meters and blue stripes all over its body was lifted up by him!
Seeing this big fish, Cao Xing's eyes showed surprise.
"Haha, it's such a big blue-striped snapper. This is so cool!"
Such a big snapper caught everyone's attention on the spot.
The host quickly said: "Contestant No. 47, excellent quality, a blue striped snapper, plus 10 points!"
The gap is widened again!
Not only that, the host also continued to add: "This blue-striped snapper is over one and a half meters long, and it ranks among the top ten blue-striped snappers I have ever seen!"
"According to the market price, it's worth at least 70,000 to 80,000 kronor!"
Hear this number.
The surrounding villagers all held their breath for a moment, and then they all exclaimed!
"Oh my God! A fish can actually be sold for 70,000 to 80,000 crowns? Is it so outrageous?"
"Yes, this much money is enough for me to marry several wives!"
"Haha, if you give me 70,000 crowns, I will go directly to Lavia Tavern and ask all those slutty bitches to come and serve me!"
When Cao Xing heard the price, he felt happy.
"Not bad, it's actually of such high value."
"According to this calculation, after excluding the 10,000 crown cost of the blue bait, I made at least six or seven times the profit, haha!"
With a look of joy, Cao Xing walked over and collected the fish on the ice.
[Obtain: Blue Snapper (Blue)*1]
…
As usual, I looked at the attributes and found that this snapper actually weighed 12 kilograms. It was indeed a big fish.
At the same time, Bronn also used blue bait and successfully loaded the fish.
"Contestant No. 48, excellent quality, one blue snapper, plus 10 points!"
Bronn also laughed, "Lord, Bronn is also very big, weighing at least 10 kilograms."
Cao Xing nodded, "Well done, Bronn!"
After saying that, they placed the second blue quality bait and put the fishing line into the water.
Almost two minutes passed.
Cao Xing, who was holding the fishing rod, instantly felt an unprecedented force coming from him!
This huge force even exceeds that of the blue snapper just now.
He grabbed the fishing rod suddenly, "Holy crap! Such a big strength?"
Cao Xing's eyes narrowed and he became serious.
"Wow... Wow..."
The creatures below struggled violently, causing the fishing rod to bend continuously.
He even dragged Cao Xing half a step.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xing's eyes narrowed and he said:
"Although I am a master, don't underestimate my power!"
As he enters a serious state, he begins to compete with underwater creatures.
Everyone also turned their attention to it.
Because they all have a premonition...
This time, what this mysterious young man caught may be something terrible!
"Crash! Crash!"
After a full two-minute stalemate, Cao Xing finally felt that the strength of the underwater creatures was gradually weakening.
After seizing the opportunity, he suddenly mentioned it!
The sound of the water surface breaking suddenly sounded.
A large snapper that was all white and had dots of snowflake patterns on its scales was lifted directly by Cao Xing!
The most peculiar thing is that the big fish exudes an astonishing cold air in mid-air, seeming to freeze the surrounding water vapor.
The crystal snowflakes fell one after another, so beautiful.
At this moment, hundreds of pairs of eyes on the field looked over.
They were all attracted by this beautiful looking big fish.
The host was silent for a moment, and then said in shock: "Oh my god, it's unimaginable, it's actually a rare quality snowflake snapper!"
“So far in the competition, the first snowflake snapper has finally appeared!”
"The value of this fish alone is almost equal to the reward for second place in this competition!"
"According to estimates, it is worth at least 200,000 kronor!"
Hearing this number, everyone's breath froze!
On the field, hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at the giant snapper jumping at Cao Xing's feet!
There is surprise, envy, and greed...
After all, a snapper is worth more than 200,000 crowns, which is really an exaggeration!
For those villagers, they could never imagine the day when they would have so many crowns!
However, no one on the court dared to make any overstep.
After all, this young man fishing is so mysterious and powerful.
His men also showed great strength just now.
One shot penetrated five or six meters of ice, such terrifying power.
To deal with ordinary people like them, you can kill them all casually.
The host cleared his throat and said excitedly: "Contestant No. 47, a rare quality snowflake salmon, +30 points for the competition!"
In an instant, Cao Xing's points reached 94 points, almost breaking 100!
On the other hand, everyone else, except for Bronn, still didn't even have a double-digit score.
This huge gap directly caused many people to give up the game on the spot.
Cao Xing also had a look of joy on his face as he walked over and collected the beautiful-looking snapper.
[Obtain: Snowflake Snapper (Purple)*1]
…
[Snowflake Snapper (Purple): Magical Creature]
[Quality: Rare]
[Level: Level 17]
[Weight: 14.8 kg]
[Effect: When consumed for the first time, 15 points of mental energy will be added, and it can treat injuries caused by various mental attacks. 】
(Snowflake snapper has extremely strong mental fluctuations and is very good at healing mental trauma caused by backlash or other reasons. It is difficult to catch if it is not strong enough. It is the favorite of the mage profession.)
…
"Good guy, is this fish meat so terrifying?"
"In addition to adding 15 points of spirit, it can also treat various mental injuries!"
There are many types of mental injuries.
The most typical of these are the various situations caused by spell backlash.
For mages in this world, spell backlash is relatively common and something no one wants to encounter.
Casting any spell requires a spell, and if it is interrupted at this time, it will suffer extremely serious backlash.
For example, some basic spell backlash is fine.
If it is that kind of large-scale destructive spell, if it is suddenly interrupted, the backlash it will receive is almost unimaginable!
Seriously, it may take years to recover.
As survivors, Cao Xing and others have a systematic panel and don't have to worry about this kind of thing.
But the indigenous people of this world are different.
Therefore, the effect of [Snowflake Snapper] is very important to mages.
at the same time.
Not to be outdone, Bronn also caught a snowflake snapper of similar size.
In mid-air, ice crystals were floating.
Everyone’s attention was immediately attracted by this scene!
When the host saw this, he exclaimed: "By God, this is actually another snowflake snapper!"
“I have been fishing in the Anno River for more than ten years, and I have never seen anyone catch two snowflake snapper in a row!”
"I really learned a lot today!"
Including the villagers on the field, they were also very excited!
They don’t know the magic of [Snowflake Snapper].
All they know is that a snowflake snapper is worth at least 200,000 crowns!
A truly sky-high price for fish.
And because they were watching the whole process.
So it felt like they were making money themselves, which made everyone excited!
"Contestant No. 48, a rare quality snowflake snapper, competition points +30 points!"
On the field, other contestants were completely numb.
Because they know that there is no hope for this game.
The champion and runner-up belong to these two people.
But the contestants didn't give up.
After all, even if there are no rewards for the champion and runner-up.
The rewards for the top ten are also very good!
Cao Xing didn't know what they were thinking, but with excitement, he continued to hang up the bait and start a new round of snapper.
"Crash! Crash!"
There was a continuous sound of water breaking, and he caught huge fish of astonishing value from the Anno River!
Because Cao Xing only plans to use half of the pet rations this time.
He and Bron have 5 each.
So soon, the two of them used up the other three.
[Obtain: Blue Snapper (Blue)*1]
[Obtain: Snowflake Snapper (Purple)*1]
[Obtain: Blue Snapper (Blue)*1]
…
"Haha, three big snappers again, worth at least 300,000 crowns."
"Including the first two items, these five pet rations have brought me at least 550,000 crowns in revenue!"
Cao Xing was pleasantly surprised!
Because the investment for 5 pet rations is only 50,000 crowns.
This time, I directly made ten times the profit!
It’s really exciting just thinking about it.
On the other side, Bronn also caught two blue snappers and one purple snapper.
Almost ten times the profit!
The harvest can be said to be quite abundant.
As the host continued to broadcast.
Currently, the two have more than a hundred points ahead of the others.
Even if someone else catches an [Emerald Snapper] at this time, they can't surpass it.
So now, points are no longer important.
Because no one can surpass them.
At this time, there are only 20 minutes left in the game.
Bronn has used up all the green quality bait and blue quality fish in his hands and is sitting leisurely on the ice waiting.
Even the host wanted to announce the end of this competition in advance.
However, Cao Xing had no intention of stopping.
Looking at the cold river water, Cao Xing thought to himself.
"The rare-quality snowflake snapper has such a strong effect. If it is the golden-quality jade snapper, I wonder what magical effects it will have?"
With a hint of expectation.
Cao Xing took out another purple [Special Pet Ration] from his backpack and hung it up.
Then, it was put directly into the ice cave.
As the fishing line falls into the river.
After two or three minutes, there was still no sign of the hook biting.
Cao Xing asked in confusion: "Oh? The purple special pet food doesn't even have fish yet?"
Did this surprise him?
And at this moment.
Cao Xing suddenly noticed that the river below began to surge.
Everyone suddenly had a strange feeling, as if something was approaching quickly under the water.
Yes, even ordinary people have this feeling.
