Necromancer cutting down trees

Chapter 68 Fishing
"Meow, following me is a wise choice."

The catman named Duo Duo led a small number of players to the central lake, including Fat Cat and Wang Yue.

The sullen fat cat didn't follow Wang Yue's suggestion to kill monsters, but directly chose [Fishing] as his sub-profession, still looking angry.

And Wang Yue, who was pretending to be an NPC, took Rogge to follow the catman, which seemed to be a very reasonable situation. No player would doubt that the NPCs would get together.

As for the other players who followed, they were all psychologically shadowed by the "corpse guard" and only wanted to complete the task in a safe way.

"Fishing is a skill. If you have no patience, be careful to go back hungry, meow."

After accepting the sub-profession, every player who learned to fish spent 10 copper coins to buy a [Simply Fishing Rod].

As a starter kit for beginners, it is a branch tied with a length of string.

Wang Yue flipped through his [Woodworking] production menu, and found that he could also make fishing rods, and the effect depended on the quality of the materials.

"It's a pity that I need some fabrics, which caused me to miss out on this business."

There is a way to get cloth in the old castle, and there are countless wools on the sheep in the [Period], and he can even borrow some spider webs from the [Web Spider].

When the time is right, Wang Yue is bound to make a fortune from the players.

The central lake is not far from [Ice Fortress], it is named because it is in the center of the snow field.

Along the way, they could see [Snow Wild Boars] wandering around. They were all level 5 yellow monsters, and they would not actively attack players who went fishing.

On the first day of the closed beta, [Snow Field Wild Boar] was only the size of a piglet, but on the second day, it was like a steroid injection, and it turned into a "steady" big wild boar overnight.

Not only has the strength of the big wild boar improved, but it also has a new skill [Charge], which is exactly the same as the warrior's skill, and can quickly approach the target.

A player was already challenging the wild boar in the distance. He obviously didn't know the monster's skills. As a hunter, he shot an arrow and was suddenly approached. He was in a daze for a few seconds before thinking of changing weapons for melee combat.

"Fortunately, we chose fishing. These wild boars are really scary."

The salted fish players said with emotion that it would be great if the future tasks could also be completed in a Buddhist way. They are just an internal test atmosphere group and never want to participate in any struggles.

"Remember the trick. If the fishing rod suddenly sinks, it means that a fish has been hooked. Good luck, meow."

Duoduo brought everyone to the lake with ice floes, and after she finished explaining, she jumped and ran away.

The water of the lake is dark blue, you can't see the bottom at all, and you can't see the fish in the lake clearly.

Wang Yue walked to the shore first, pulled out the bone spur, and pointed her sword at the center of the lake.

[Mission Objective: Fishing (0/30)]

[Task Reward: Wooden Weapon]

"There are secrets hidden in the lake."

After saying this, Wang Yue put the bone spur in front of her face again, and looked at the lake with empty eyes.

Wang Yue has already seen that this group of players is evading, and there will be no such easy tasks in the follow-up, and evading is useless.

As the biggest behind-the-scenes manipulator of the game, he must arouse the fighting spirit of the players and reflect their value.

"The equipment I made at level 20 carpentry proficiency level is comparable to green equipment, don't be ignorant."

Players who accepted the quest clicked on the quest rewards and found that the white quality weapons seemed a little different.

Green weapons of the same level can increase attributes and attack power by 3 to 5 points, but wooden weapons can increase attack power by 5 to 7 points, which is equivalent to putting all the improved attributes on attack power.

"I don't understand the use of agility and strength. I understand the attack power, but the damage will be much higher."

They were all still wearing novice weapons that increased their attack power by 1, so it was hard not to be moved by such a huge improvement.

"Don't waste time, go fishing, get 30 fish first, maybe we can also defeat the wild boar."

"If I can have a new weapon, the damage I inflict can be increased from 5 points to 10 points. This is a doubled strength."

The players immediately rushed to the lake, throwing fishing lines towards the center of the lake.

The fishing in the game is a simplified version of fishing. With the increase of fishing proficiency, players can catch rarer fish and shorten the time to catch fish.

Before the players had lowered their rods for 10 seconds, someone's fishing rod began to shake violently.

"The first rule!"

Players only need to lift the fishing rod up at the moment of hooking, and then drag the fishing line to the shore, and a fish becomes a prop and puts it in the package.

Fat Cat is also very lucky. She originally just wanted to distract her attention by fishing, but she didn't expect to catch a fish in three seconds with one stroke.

[Snowfield whitebait: a rare fish that grows in cold regions and is an excellent cooking ingredient]

Although the silver slender fish is not big, when it is dragged to the shore, the body of the fish is shining with silver light. It is very beautiful and delicious.

Seeing that fishing is so simple, the players gradually regained their confidence.

30 fish is not a small number, it takes players 5 minutes to complete.

Moreover, this group of players had to complete the task of [acquiring food]. In the end, they stayed here for 10 minutes, not only calmed down, but also forgot about the disappointment.

Even Fat Cat got involved. Originally, Wang Yue was worried that she would not be able to sit still due to her irritable personality, but she unexpectedly calmed down and caught 50 fish before leaving.

"Your fish."

When Fat Cat handed in the task, although her tone was still indifferent, it could be seen from her expression that she was in a much better mood.

Like other players, Wang Yue also gave her a wooden dagger as a mission reward.

The players who received the rewards were very excited. They were completely different from the fishermen who sat quietly by the lake just now. They ran to the wild monsters in the same way and started fighting with the newly acquired weapons.

Wang Yue got at least 300 fish in an instant, and he was also very satisfied.

Because there is a chef in the castle who can teach him to cook without taking up a side job. After processing these [Snowfield Whitebait], he can issue tasks with new props.

"Using the quest materials handed in by the players to give the players quest rewards, I seem to have discovered a perpetual motion machine."

Wang Yue kept 20 fish as a task requirement to test his strength. This was the first time he completed the task for himself through the means of NPC, and his experience was very good.

"Sure enough, players are good, and you can do things for me with a little reward."

As the players left, Wang Yue also took Rogge back to the Ice Fortress from the lake.

He was still happy with his success as an NPC, but he didn't expect to meet another acquaintance on the way, it was [Dolly] whom he had seen many times.

Fat Cat found his sister from a distance. Although the two had teamed up experience, their bad relationship did not ease.

In order to avoid another fight, Fat Cat chose to use [Stealth], and she sneaked back to the fort first, leaving Wang Yue surrounded by the players led by Dolly.
