fishing system

Chapter 13

After another bumpy journey back to the town, Yang Zi first went to the market to buy some dead shrimp and pork liver.

Take it home and shell the shrimp, then mince it with pork liver and put it in a bowl.

He picked it up and smelled it, and a strong fishy smell hit his nose, making him almost want to vomit.

"Such a strong smell should be enough. I will throw it on the roof of the building in the afternoon to expose it to the sun. I hope this broken strategy will be effective."

Muttering to himself, Yang Zi made preparations for tomorrow's bait according to the strategy on the Internet, washed his hands and went to the store to take over.

After working in the store until after seven o'clock in the evening, Yang Zi, who was free after dinner, began to call Qian Gang.

After hearing Yang Zi's arrangements for tomorrow, Qian Gang laughed and asked him if he had also watched the episode of Fishing Heroes and actually planned to go to Maple Villa. Could it be that he also wanted to catch the sturgeon?
Yang Zi smiled and touched his nose, he really guessed it right...

After the two agreed on the time to leave together the next day, Qian Gang remembered that Li Zhen seemed to be at home these days, so he asked Yang Zi if he wanted to take him with him.

Yang Zi naturally had no objection and directly asked Qian Gang to tell Li Zhen the time and place of departure before hanging up the phone.

There was nothing to say all night, and Yang Zi got up at four o'clock the next morning.

Because today's itinerary is a little far away, about 50 kilometers away, the agreed departure time is a little earlier.

However, it is normal for experienced fishermen to go out at three or four o’clock. Have you seen that many hardcore fishermen go out with tents.

After washing up, he tidied up his things, and after confirming that there was nothing missing, Yang Zi brought some breakfast and went out.

When they came to the agreed intersection in the town, Qian Gang and the others hadn't arrived yet.

Yang Zi called and was quickly connected. It turned out that Li Zhen was too lazy to drive, so he asked Qian Gang to go to his house and take him with him. The two of them were already on the road.

After waiting in place for a few minutes, Yang Zi saw Qian Gang's car. The three of them greeted each other and followed the navigation to drive to the Fengshushanzhuang Reservoir in NX County.

At this time, the sky had begun to dim, and the few people ran along the winding road for nearly an hour and arrived at today's destination, Maple Tree Villa. The map showed that the reservoir was near the farmhouse.

Because they set off earlier, it was only six o'clock when they got here, and the owner of the farm hadn't even gotten up yet.

After they parked the car, a few people got out of the car and began to look for the location of the reservoir nearby. Qian Gang planned to ask the farm owner to get up and lead the way.

As a result, Yang Zi saw the embankment at the corner of the intersection at a glance, so he called the two of them back to the car and picked up their equipment to kill him.

After walking to the embankment of the reservoir and looking around, Yang Zi found that the reservoir was in an irregular zigzag shape.

The middle part is relatively wide, and the ends are slightly narrower.

He took out his mobile phone and turned on the compass to look at the direction, and found that the open water in the middle was more sunny, and the Sturgeon Arowana was a cold-water fish and liked shaded and secluded places.

The environment here probably made them uncomfortable, so they walked towards the right corner. The water surface of this corner is about ten meters wide, and a section of wall was built with cement on the side near the embankment to prevent soil erosion.

Yang Zi put down his gear and planned to fish here for a while to try out the situation. Seeing that Yang Zi had stopped, Qian Gang and Li Zhen also started to pack their things here and prepare to cast their poles.

Yang Zi first sprinkled a pack of carp nest materials with a strong fishy smell into the water, and then began to adjust the bait.

For the first pot of bait, he mixed a portion of ordinary bait mixed with vegetarian bait from the mall, and gave most of it to Qian Gang and the two of them.

Then he covered his nose and poured yesterday's special Jiwei shrimp and pig liver paste into the bait basin.

After being exposed to the sun for a long time yesterday afternoon, this thing exuded an extremely strong fishy smell. As soon as he poured it out, Qian Gang and Li Zhen ran away about ten meters away.

Qian Gang stood there complaining at a distance, looking very sick from being smoked.

"Yang Zi, what kind of chemical weapon did you make? The smell is too sour.

It feels more lethal than Hong Kong's athlete's foot that hasn't been washed in ten years! "

"Hey! It's right to have a high lethality. This effect is what I want. This is a secret weapon I specially prepared, and you will know it later."

Yang Zi pretended to be mysterious, and added some fishy-scented bait and wire drawing powder to the bait basin and mixed them well.

I also added a portion of the monster meat essence bought in the mall, and mixed it into a jelly-like rubbing bait.

Then he ran to the water's edge and rubbed his hands vigorously. After smelling that there was no heavy smell, he returned to the fishing box and started to cast the pole.

Today he prepared two fishing rods, a bamboo fishing rod for meat bait, with the goal of catching a sturgeon.

Ordinary fishing rods catch plain bait, which is not limited to varieties, as long as it can give experience.

He has just lowered two poles here, but Brother Zhen has lowered the poles faster, so he has already landed a crucian carp of about two taels.

It seems that the effect of this bait is really not for nothing. Li Zhen who caught today's first open fish seemed very happy.

He used to go fishing from time to time, but it was not as smooth as today, and he caught fish as soon as he threw the pole down.

Qian Gang pouted secretly from the side, looking at the other party with the disgust of city people looking at country bumpkins.

Because of the presence of bait in the mall, the next few people began to fish one after another.

Yang Zi was a little busy here, because the meat bait rod kept catching a kind of spiny carp.

Aside from being slippery all over, there is a row of spikes on his back, which can pierce his fingers if he is not careful.

Moreover, if you eat this kind of bait, you like to swallow it whole, and eat the hook directly until it comes out of your stomach, which makes it a painful egg when you take the hook out.

Yang Zi patiently took out the hooks one by one at the beginning, and then began to cut the sub-threads directly.

After more than an hour of fishing like this, the meat bait rod sank again with a black drift. Yang Zi, who thought it was a stingray, lifted it a little impatiently. Unexpectedly, the rod was halfway up and instead was caught in the water. The fish dragged and pressed down.

Yang Zi was overjoyed, and tried to control the direction of the fish to prevent it from escaping.

Yang Zi felt that the fish was very powerful and had enough stamina. It slipped away for seven or eight minutes without showing up.

At this moment, Qian Gang and the others had already run over to help copy the fish, Yang Zi slipped around again and took advantage of the fish's slowing down in the water to finally pull it to the surface.

I saw a fish with a body like a boa constrictor moving quickly on the water surface, and its shuttle-shaped body seemed very flexible and powerful.

"What a big bonito (black fish)! It's almost a meter long, right? It weighs at least eight or nine catties."

Li Zhen was the first to see clearly, and he exclaimed from the side.

"It should be almost the same, this is the first time I have seen such a big bonito.

Take this back and make it into fish fillets for a good meal. Yang Zi, walk slowly and be careful. "

Yang Zi was also surprised when he saw such a large bonito. This kind of fish grows up by eating small fish and shrimps. It is unknown how many similar species have been harmed if they can grow to this extent.

Slowly slipping it to the shore, Qian Gang took the copying net and carefully copied the fish into the net.

Yang Zi took the net and weighed it, good guy, this fish weighs almost ten catties.

Looking at the system prompt, Yang Zi felt happy, and dozens of experience points were credited. The only pity was that his target fish still hadn't been found.

However, bonito and sturgeon are cold-water fish, and both have similar habitat habits.

Since the former can be caught here, the latter is probably not too far away.

Yang Zi, who cheered himself up, loaded the fishing rod with bait and threw it down, watching the float in the water expectantly.

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Yang Zi fished at this fishing position until twelve o'clock, but the sturgeon he hoped for was still missing.

On the other hand, the other fish caught a lot. Qian Gang and Li Zhen each caught about five or six catties of miscellaneous fish.

At around [-] o'clock in the middle, the owner of Maple Tree Villa came over for a stroll. Yang Zi asked him about Sturgeon Arowana, and he just said that there must be some there, but no one has fished it for more than a year. I've come up.

When the boss contracted the reservoir a few years ago, the reservoir was very hot for a while because he was on TV once, and many people came here especially to catch a sturgeon.

It's just that the popularity has gradually cooled down in the past two years, and the number of people who come to fish has decreased a lot.

Yang Zi, who was a little disappointed, remembered that the episode he watched seemed to have been filmed in 12 years, and four or five years had passed.

Seeing that it was already past twelve o'clock, the few people who had already agreed to reserve a table of meals with the owner of the Villa packed their things and ran to the Villa to have a lunch break.

Unlike Yang Zi who didn't catch the sturgeon, Qian Gang and Li Zhen had a good time today.

They have been fishing at a slow speed for half a day, and the two of them are very happy at the moment, bragging about their respective harvests to each other.

Looking at the two people immersed in the fun of the harvest, Yang Zi, who was a little bored, suddenly woke up with a start.

What are you doing to achieve these goals?Isn't it just to live a relaxed and happy life?

If the previous self could have such a good harvest today, he might be so happy now.

Why do I still feel depressed when I already have such a happy thing?

Because since I came into contact with the system and the mall, after slowly discovering the power of this cheat, I don't know when I have given up the original starting point.

Blindly pursuing higher probability, more powerful attributes, and more gold coins, instead made his mentality fall into a quagmire.

It's like becoming a slave to the system in my mind, instead of simply living for myself.

Yang Zi, who noticed that his mentality was out of balance, was startled at first, and then he suddenly became enlightened.

Rediscovering himself, he smiled and looked at the two talking and laughing in front, quickened his pace to catch up and joined their bragging army together.

The food in the villa is very rich. Braised chicken, farm bacon, and beer duck are all ingredients produced by the villa itself, not to mention the full variety of vegetables.

This kind of farmhouse-style dishes and the leisurely pastoral scenery outside the fence of the yard bring an atmosphere far beyond the treatment of city hotels, making people feel relaxed and happy unconsciously.

The three of them were carrying bottles of beer, chatting and drinking back and forth, and Yang Zi, who was absorbed in the present, changed his previous silent style and started talking with Qian Gang and Li Zhen.

Especially when it came to fishing, the conversation between the few people became more heated, and the boss even ran out to see if they were arguing.

During the period, Yang Zi asked about Qian Gang, a professional fisherman, and was a little disappointed when he heard that there was no reply.

Unexpectedly, after Li Zhen understood the reason, he told Yang Zi that the buddy he called last time was also from the professional circle, and his reputation was relatively large.

There happened to be a relatively close relationship between the careers of the two, so their friendship was relatively reliable.

When the time comes, he will help Yang Zi make an appointment for a meal, and if he wants to know anything, just ask.

Yang Zi, who was overjoyed, quickly agreed, and now he has taken a big step forward on the road to professional competition.

After eating a meal until two o'clock, the three of them, having eaten and rested enough, went to the reservoir to continue the battle in the afternoon.

Yang Zitong called his family and asked for a vacation. He was not in a hurry to get up and down the fishing spot, but rushed to Qian Gang and the others to greet him and walked to the corner on the other side of the reservoir to see the situation here.

Stepping on the ditch embankment and turning the big straight road across the reservoir, a cool mountain breeze blows in front of you.

The inlet here belongs to the kind of ditch between two small hills, and the water level should be deeper than the one I fished in the morning.

Walking to the shore, he checked the temperature of the bottom of the water with his hands. Yang Zi found out that the water temperature here was obviously much lower than that of the other inlet.

After finding out, he went back to the previous fishing spot and talked to Qian Gang, and then he moved his things back here to occupy a place and started to lower the pole.

This time he only brought the meat bait fishing rod, fearing that he would disturb the nearby target fish when the other rod caught fish.

Yang Zi, who had cast a good rod, concentrated on guarding the float in the water. The super high fishing rate made the first rod he threw had a hole in a short while.

He looked at the right moment and mentioned another stinging loach that kept jumping on the hook. With a look of displeasure on his face, he cut off the thread and sold the fish to the mall. He took out a new one from the side and replaced it with another. Throw it into the water.

The pole hadn't stabilized when it went down, and was dragged black by something, thinking that a big fish was coming, Yang Zi happily pulled the pole.

A tortoise (turtle) weighing less than two or two jumped out of the water with its teeth and claws open, and Yang Zi, whose hair was full of black lines, almost cursed.

But looking at the little bastard hanging on the hook and struggling constantly, he took a picture of it angrily and funny, then took off the hook and threw it back.

Being molested by fish for two consecutive rods, Yang Zi was a little dumbfounded.

After he stabilized his mentality, he stopped thinking about other things, hung up the bait and lowered the pole to continue watching the fish float.

There was no movement for a few minutes after the rod went down, and Yang Zi, who wondered if he had run out of bait, planned to pull it up to have a look.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but as soon as he put his hand on the fishing rod, the float in the water seemed to slowly move a little to the right.

Yang Zi looked at Piao calmly, there seemed to be no movement, was it the reaction of his hand touching the pole just now?

Just as he wondered if his eyes were wrong, he suddenly found that the float in the water moved a small space to the right very slowly. Something was wrong. Could it be that the fish had already bit the hook and was not moving at the bottom of the water?

He immediately lifted the pole. Sure enough, the pole was blocked halfway up.

It seems that something is hanging on the bottom so that I can't pull the pole up, and I caught the fish!
And it shouldn't be a small fish, at least a few kilograms in weight.

Yang Zi stood up excitedly, gripped the fishing rod tightly and controlled the fish to walk around the bank in figures of eight without haste.

In less than four to five minutes, a strange fish with a black pattern, covered in bone armor, and extremely slender figure appeared on the water in front of Yang Zi's eyes.

"Sturgeon!"

It's really the mission fish I've been looking for for a long time!Yang Zi was so excited that she almost danced.

After calming down his emotions a little, Yang Zi slowly pulled the three to four catties Sturgeon Arowana to the shore.

Pick up the dip net on the side and gently move it, and the fish will fall steadily into the dip net.

This fish is far less ferocious than its appearance suggests. It becomes a bit clumsy after landing, like a hibernating snake that has just been dug out.

Yang Zi poured it into the fish guard, and a series of beeps came immediately.

Yang Zi didn't bother to take a closer look, but got up and ran to the water bay to call for Qian Gang and the others to come and take a look.

As soon as they heard that Yang Zi had caught a sturgeon, Qian Gang and Li Zhen quickly let go of their poles and hurried over.

Several people looked at the bewildered fish for a while, unanimously took out their mobile phones and started taking pictures. Yang Zi also sent the photo of the little bastard he caught just now to Moments.

After several people looked at it in surprise for a while, Yang Zi saw that the task was completed and there were more fish for dinner today, so he put the sturgeon back into the water.

Although this kind of wild sturgeon is worth a lot of money if it is sold, Yang Zi didn't think about it at all, and then Yang Zi sorted out a few tips in his mind while fishing silently.

"Caught a sturgeon, weighing 1780 grams, rarity: rare. Selling price: 192 copper coins, gaining 128 character experience points and 64 fishing experience points."

"Complete advanced tasks and get rewards: 60 gold, 500 character experience, and 200 fishing experience."

"Deputy level increased to 5!"

"Successful promotion of deputy job, open the deputy job collection system! Catch more fish species and rare fish to get rewards!"

"Acquire new sub-level tasks"

"The character experience is full and can be upgraded immediately."

A series of dazzling system prompts made Yang Zi a little confused for a while. After reading one by one, he first raised the character level by two levels, and then opened the newly opened collection system to take a closer look.

As a result, upon seeing this, Yang Zi's mouth began to drool involuntarily...
