Mastering Probability: Start with Basic Skills

Chapter 2 Ice Fishing
The ice fishing lake is about 500 meters past the mine, not too far away.

At this moment, the two of them had arrived at the edge of the ice lake.

The intensity of the wind and snow was still increasing. Chen Shu frowned and said, "Can you still catch red-scaled fish in this situation?"

"It's difficult, but it should be possible." Li Xun said.

Red-scaled fish is very special. No matter whether the weather is cold or warm, its body can maintain a high temperature. After cooking, the meat is delicate and silky, and tastes particularly delicious. It is the favorite of the people of Qifeng Town.

Of course, the most important thing is that eating red-scaled fish will have a certain promotion effect on the energy-burning technique.

Therefore, the selling price of red scale fish is not low.

However, catching red-scaled fish is also very difficult. They are flexible in movement and are very good at distinguishing what is a hook and what is bait. It is impossible to catch it with ordinary methods.

When Li Xun first crossed over, he was lucky enough to catch several red-scaled fish because he didn't follow the commonly used local fishing techniques.

Later, he carefully studied and compared it and found that it was probably the shaking rhythm of the fishing rod that interfered with the judgment of the red-scaled fish.

But after trying it several times, I found that this method had failed, so I kept experimenting, adjusted the bait, and frequently changed the shaking rhythm, and then I slowly summarized my own method of catching red-scaled fish.

It was precisely because of his frequent consumption of red-scaled fish that Li Xun, as a time traveler, surpassed most locals in the level of burning energy in just two years.

After digging a hole in the ice, Li Xun hung the fishing line into the ice hole, then set up a simple tent and got in.

When Chen Shu saw this, she also got in. When she saw that Li Xun had taken out a folding stool and sat down, she couldn't help but ask:
"that's it?"

Li Xun said: "What else can we do? It's such a heavy snowstorm. If we don't put up a tent to protect ourselves from the wind and snow, people will die."

"Can I catch red-scaled fish at this location? I think the ice here is thick, so no fish should be willing to come to this place. How can I catch red-scaled fish like this?"

Although Chen Shu has never actually ice fished, he has seen some and has his own opinions.

"Sister Chen, although you often eat red-scaled fish, you definitely don't know that red-scaled fish likes the cold. I will teach you a trick for free. If you want to catch red-scaled fish, the colder the place, the better."

Li Xun said with a smile.

Red-scaled fish are naturally as hot as fire, perhaps in order to cool down and prefer to gather in colder places.

This reason also convinced Chen Shu, and she stopped asking questions.

In this way, the two spent 15 silent minutes in the tent.

It could be seen that Chen Shu had a look of worry on his face from time to time, but he still remained patient and did not interfere.

Li Xun gently shook the fishing rod while secretly wondering: "Looking at Chen Shu's performance, she seems to be really anxious to get the red-scale fish. Is it a special situation, or does the red-scale fish have some secrets that I don't know about?"

Another five minutes passed, but there was still no movement down there, and Chen Shu had a clear look of anxiety on his face.

"Now that the wind and snow are getting heavier, the tent may not be able to hold up. After 5 minutes, if there is still no movement, I might try using the probability point. After all, I have the plug-in and I haven't understood its function yet, so this won't work." Li Xun I made a decision in my mind.

It seemed that Chen Shu couldn't hold it in any longer. She curled her lips and whispered in Li Xun's ear: "Li Xun, can you do it? Don't fool me. If something goes wrong in this matter, it will be very troublesome in the future." .”

Li Xun was planning to ask what the secret was about this red-scaled fish.

Who knew that the next moment, Li Xun felt a slight movement in his hand.

He suddenly beamed with joy, winked at Chen Shu, and gestured with his mouth to tell her to be careful not to be splashed by the ice water.

Chen Shu didn't understand what Li Xun meant by pouting at him.

She hesitated: "Did you bite your mouth?"

Ignoring Chen Shu, Li Xun had already felt the red-scaled fish bite the hook.

It's now!

He suddenly reeled in the line and lifted the rod. After a while, a red-scaled fish that twisted its body desperately rose into the air.

At this time, Chen Shu finally understood what Li Xun meant, because she was caught off guard and had ice water splashed on her face. She quickly wiped it away. Although she shivered from the ice, she still felt a little blushing.

Li Xun, with quick eyes and quick hands, cut the thread, threw the red-scaled fish into the prepared water tank, closed the lid, and then sat down on the box.

Thump, thump, thump, the sound got louder and louder. The red-scaled fish kept hitting the water tank. After a while, the sound slowly became quieter.

After Chen Shu watched Li Xun's entire operation, he felt that it was smooth and natural, his movements were neat and casual, and he looked very comfortable. He didn't care about his own state and clapped quickly: "Well done Li Xun, sister, I really saw you right. "Said, reaching out to get the water tank.

Li Xun held down Chen Shu's palm and said, "Don't open the box in a hurry, otherwise the red-scaled fish will jump around casually, splash ice points on your face, and jump back into the lake."

Chen Shu smiled lightly and said: "I am a third-level high-level burner, and I am agile. It was just an accident just now. Now that I am prepared, are I still afraid of being splashed in the face? It's not a big problem."

Li Xun was amused by Chen Shu's fake calmness. He suppressed his laughter and said:
"Okay, where's the letter of introduction and citizenship points? This red-scaled fish weighs at least 4 pounds."

At that moment, Chen Shu didn't waste any time and took out the letter of introduction and handed it to Li Xun.Then he said: "As for the citizenship point, after I finish handling the matters at hand, I will go to the Finance and Taxation Center to transfer you five hundred."

"Okay, I'm generous. Although I'm still a regular customer, I still need you to write down the receipt."

Chen Shu said: "Don't worry, I won't be able to make it to 01:30 without you?"

Even so, five hundred words of evidence were still established.

Li Xun confirmed that there was no problem and nodded.

Five hundred citizen points, plus the [-] previously accumulated citizen points, totaled [-], which already exceeded the minimum entry threshold for the circulation center.

In this case, he can find opportunities to purchase important supplies in the past few days to improve his living and production standards.

In the White Arms Country, all important materials can only be traded in the circulation center.

As for private transactions, the scale is small and the impact is not deep, and the White Tool Kingdom has no control over it.

After the two separated, Li Xun quickly packed up the tent. In just 10 minutes, the steel frame of the tent was already somewhat deformed.

After returning to the mine residence, Li Xun thought about how to use the plug-in and thought: "If I use probability points, will it increase the possibility of me breaking through to the third level of Burning Energy Technique?"

As soon as I seriously thought about the probability of breaking through the third stage of Burning Energy Technique, a voice sounded in my mind:
"The current probability of burning energy to break through to the third level is 35%. Do you want to use the probability point?"

So, Li Xun understood that as long as he seriously thought about the possibility of a certain event, the probability point usage prompt would be triggered.

In other words, as long as there is a probability point, you can know the possibility of everything happening?
Li Xun was pleasantly surprised and quickly looked at the intelligent robot Fang Liujiu, who was whirling around beside him.

Thinking about the possibility of Fang Liujiu hitting an obstacle and falling.

"The probability of Fang Liujiu hitting an obstacle and falling down is 5%. Do you want to use the probability point?"

Such a voice sounded in my mind.

Li Xun frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly threw a stone on Fang Liujiu's path and thought again.

"The probability of Fang Liujiu hitting an obstacle and falling down is 65%. Do you want to use the probability point?"

The next moment, Fang Liujiu was not in time and tripped over a stone and fell to the ground. His round eyeballs suddenly flashed with warning lights.

"Yeah, I can't stand up. Brother Xun, please help me."

Li Xun straightened Fang Liujiu thoughtfully, and Fang Liujiu muttered: "Brother Xun, you are so kind, so kind."

Sure enough, the probability changes in real time. As long as you find a way to increase the real-time probability to the limit and then use probability points, you may be able to make the event 100% true.

According to the system prompts, if the three probability points can be used superimposed, the probability may be directly increased by 60%.

In other words, if Li Xun uses the probability points superimposed now, the probability of breaking through the third stage of Burning Energy Technique will reach 95%.

However, Li Xun also has hidden worries. He does not know other ways to obtain probability points. If he runs out of them and there are no new ones, then this system will become a decoration.

After all, the breakthrough in the third stage is not too difficult for Li Xun, it is just a matter of time.

What's more important is what Chen Shu mentioned before, the probability of awakening extraordinary abilities.

If possible, it is best to use good steel on the blade to awaken yourself to high-level supernatural abilities.

As for new probability points, you may try to learn a few new skills, or improve the level of your current skills.

It is best to do one simple and one complex at the same time, so as not to waste time and maximize the chance of obtaining new probability points.
