The God of Online Games

Chapter 5 Fishing
Shen Fan walked east along the lake, and sure enough, he saw the small wooden house by the lake, and many players were coming in and out, but most of the people who came out were cursing, as if they had been stimulated a lot.

The owner of the wooden house is a middle-aged man with a thick black beard. After asking about it, and looking at the fishing gear displayed in front of him, Shen Fan finally understood why the players who went out before were so annoyed.

Low-level fishing rod (ordinary): special equipment, made of ordinary bamboo and silk, the success rate of catching ordinary fish is 30%, the success rate of other special fish is 2%, durability is 30, the price is 1 silver coin, and the rental is 10 copper coins for an hour .

Intermediate fishing rod (ordinary): special equipment, made of selected bamboo and silk, 50% success rate of catching common fish, 3% success rate of other special fish, durability 30, price 5 silver coins, rent 40 copper coins each Hour.

Dark iron fishing rod (bronze): special equipment, physical attack 95, durability 50, equipment condition (none)
Effect 1: The success rate of catching common fish is 90%, and the success rate of special fish is 10%.
Effect 2: There is a 5% chance of attracting high-level fish to take the bait

Selling price is 200 silver coins, renting 20 silver coins for an hour

Low-grade bait: common material, used for fishing, less chance of attracting fish to the bait, priced at 2 copper coins.

Intermediate bait: Common material, used for fishing, has a higher chance of attracting fish to the bait, and sells for 5 copper coins each.

Beast meat bait: high-grade material, used for fishing, the chance of attracting fish is extremely high, and the price is 1 silver coin per piece. ,

"Looking at it this way, I can only rent a low-grade fishing rod for an hour and buy five cents of low-grade bait. With such fishing gear, the chances of catching even ordinary fish are extremely low; jade bone fish, you can tell by its name that it is not an ordinary fish. Is it possible that this task cannot be completed now?" Shen Fan looked at the prices of fishing gear displayed in front of him, and then at the 20 copper coins in his backpack, thinking helplessly.

"Boss, do you know about jade bone fish?" Shen Fan asked the middle-aged man after thinking about it.

"Of course I know, the jade bone fish is a special fish in Cuiyu Lake in our village. The fish meat on it is extremely delicious, and the old jade bone fish has other special effects, so it attracts many people to come to our Cuiyu Lake for fishing. .” The middle-aged uncle said with a smile.

"Is the jade bone fish difficult to catch?" Shen Fan asked anxiously.

"It's really difficult. The jade bone fish is not an ordinary fish. They are born with extraordinary spirituality and strength. Even if they are hooked, they are easy to break free. Moreover, the number of jade bone fish is very small, so it is very difficult to catch them. Yes. Of course, little brother, you buy this top-level fishing rod from me, and the animal meat bait made of various high-grade beast meat that the jade bone fish likes to eat very much. There is still a relatively high chance of catching jade bone fish Yes, and." The middle-aged man began to sell his fishing gear to Shen Fan while talking.

Shen Fan looked at the bearded middle-aged man who was introducing his products endlessly, and couldn't help crying and laughing. After a while, Shen Fan interrupted him and said:

"Boss, I only have 20 copper coins for my whole body, and I can't even afford your low-level fishing rod."

"That would be a pity, hey, here you are, remember to bring the fishing rod back to me within an hour, or you will bear the consequences, and I will send you a fishing rod by the way, no thanks."

The middle-aged man quickly threw a dingy fishing rod and a piece of bait wrapped in paper to Shen Fan, and took the 20 copper coins from Shen Fan's hand.

"Ugh! Boss, I haven't said to rent your fishing rod yet!" Shen Fan was stunned by the behavior of the bearded middle-aged man, this NPC still buys and sells by force!
"Oh? Didn't you want to rent the fishing rod? I made a mistake, but you took the fishing gear. If you don't rent it, I won't return the money to you!"

"Damn! Boss, how can you do this? I want to report you."

"Little brother, calm down, you won't lose money, you have five baits, even if you catch five ordinary fish and sell them to old man Wan in the restaurant in the village, you will definitely earn several times."

"I"

"Besides, if you are lucky, if you catch a jade bone fish, you will make a lot of money. Do you know that the old man Wan in the restaurant has been collecting jade bone fish for a long time, as long as it is an adult jade bone fish, the price is 40%. It won't be less than [-] silver coins."

"Damn it! You're cheating."

In the end, Shen Fan left the wooden house with a fishing rod, a bag of bait and a fishing basket in great grief and indignation. He didn't expect that the NPC would cheat even 20 copper coins, and the map task he received from the old hunter would be worth 150. Only the jade bone fish with silver coins can be completed. You must know that the exchange ratio of Shenhuang coins is 1:100. If 150 silver coins are converted into copper coins, it will be 15000. Who can get [-] copper coins at the beginning of this game!

"You can only try your luck. If it doesn't work, you can only do the task honestly to clear monsters!"

Finding a quiet place with few people by the side of Cuiyu Lake, Shen Fan set up his fishing rod and started fishing. At first, Shen Fan felt okay, but slowly he became restless.

10 minutes passed and the fishing rod did not move at all.
15 minutes passed, and the fishing rod was still motionless
Thirty minutes passed, and Shen Fan could only see the buoys on the water occasionally fluttering back and forth under the breeze, but there was no other reaction.

"It can't be so unlucky! Half of the time has passed, not to mention the jade bone fish, and I haven't even seen an ordinary fish shadow!" Shen Fan looked at the lake and said in a low voice.

Another 10 minutes passed slowly, and there were still 10 minutes left on the rented fishing rod, and Shen Fan still hadn't gained anything. Just when Shen Fan wanted to give up, the float on the lake suddenly began to shake violently.

"Damn, finally a fish is hooked!" The bored Shen Fan suddenly became excited.

When the buoy began to sink, Shen Fan pulled the hook up with all his strength.

"Ding~"

System: Congratulations on successfully catching a carp and gaining 10 experience points!
Seeing the palm-sized carp trembling in the air, Shen Fan was still a little excited. He took the carp down, inspected it, and put it into the fish basket.

Carp: Inferior common ingredients, which can be made into food through cooking.

"At least I didn't do it for nothing, but I didn't expect to gain experience from fishing. There are still ten minutes left, let's continue!"

Less than 3 minutes after the hook was launched into the water, the float began to respond again, which gave Shen Fan a little hope.

"Ding~"

System: Congratulations on successfully catching a grass carp and gaining 15 experience points!
Adult Grass Carp: Inferior common ingredients, can be made into food through cooking.

This will be a big fish, twice the size of the carp just now, which makes Shen Fan a little surprised!
"Ding~"

System: The fish breaks free from the hook, the fishing fails, a share of the bait is lost, and 5 experience points are gained.

"Ding~"

System: The fish breaks free from the hook, the fishing fails, a share of the bait is lost, and 5 experience points are gained.

"Damn! It's a scam, there's only one piece of bait left!"

In the remaining 10 minutes, the fish continued to take the bait, but except for the first two successes, the next two failed, which made Shen Fan keep cursing the owner of the fishing gear for selling fake products to deceive people!
The rented fishing rod has less than 10 minutes left to use. I hold the fishing rod tightly in my hand and stare at the floats on the lake with both nervousness and anticipation in my heart.

"Here we go! Bring a jade bone fish!"

The float shook violently, and the fish took the bait again!

"Ding~"

System: Congratulations for successfully catching a rare dragon-scale carp and gaining 120 experience points!
"Hey! It seems that something good has fallen!"

Shen Fan was overjoyed by the system notification and experience rewards, but he didn't expect to get good things in the end, even though he didn't catch the jade bone fish.

Shen Fan inspected the dragon-scale carp he had obtained, and then put it into the fish basket with great surprise.

Dragon Scale Carp: Inferior rare ingredients, which can be cooked into delicious dishes with special effects.Dragon scale carp is evolved from ordinary carp absorbing the aura of heaven and earth for a long time. Legend has it that dragon scale carp has very thin dragon blood in its body.

The grades of materials in Shenhuang World are divided into: ordinary, high-quality goods, treasures, rare, legendary, and divine products. Each level is divided into upper, middle and lower grades. These are the information published on Shenhuang’s official website, and Shen Fan has already checked them out before. .

Inferior rare ingredients are considered a good thing. Shen Fan believed that he had made money this time. After packing up his things, he went to return the fishing rod, and happily went to the restaurant in the center of the village to sell fish.
