Upon hearing this, Xiao 9's body immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, drooping down: "Alright! My lord, you have your own plans, just do it at your own pace."
However, it rolled its eyes and slowly floated over to Yuan Bao, blinking its big, star-like eyes, and said pitifully, "My dear master, you can't forget the seafood feast you promised me. We've already eaten all the seafood we bought at the mall! I was thinking you were going sea fishing to restock, but you've been busy with your dance, so I don't know when I'll be able to enjoy that seafood feast I've been longing for."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao was taken aback at first, then slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "Oh dear, I really forgot about that! I was thinking of trying sea fishing after I finished my work in Beijing, to get some fresh seafood to supplement my seafood feast."
Upon hearing this, Little 9's eyes lit up instantly, and it said with virtual "drool" in its mouth, "Yes, yes, Master, hurry up, let's go sea fishing first, and then we can arrange for a fishing spirit beast to be there, and we'll have an endless seafood feast."
You can then focus on preparing for the New Year's Eve party without any problems, and you can even relax a bit – isn't that great?
Yuan Bao was amused by Xiao 9's greedy look. Her lips curled up and her eyes curved into a smile, which was as bright and beautiful as the blooming flowers in spring. She said with a smile, "Okay, it's your choice. Let's go sea fishing right now!"
After saying that, Yuan Bao turned around and walked to his virtual wardrobe. He gently swiped his fingers over the clothes and finally selected a set of lightweight, comfortable, and easy-to-move outdoor clothing.
The clothes were made of a light and soft material, in a refreshing light blue color, like the shallows of the sea, and adorned with delicate embroidered wave patterns, making them both beautiful and practical.
After changing his clothes, Yuan Bao took a deep breath; the air seemed to be filled with the excitement of an upcoming adventure.
She skillfully opened the micro-map in the upper right corner of the space. The map was like a mysterious treasure box, emitting a faint blue light. It slowly unfolded under her fingertip, clearly showing the intricate routes and landmarks.
With a determined look in his eyes, Yuan Bao locked onto the direction of the island and, with Little 9, sped off like an arrow.
Along the way, Little 9 was like a little megaphone with its chatterbox turned on, or a cheerful little bird, chirping incessantly.
It gesticulated wildly as it described to Yuan Bao the super-sized fish it had once seen, a fish so large it seemed capable of swallowing a small boat, its scales shimmering with an unusual light, its fins like giant sails.
He closed his eyes again, his face filled with bliss as he imagined the delicious scene of harvesting a bountiful harvest of seafood. He described the tender and juicy steamed crabs, the fragrant garlic-roasted shrimp, and the smooth and delicious sashimi in vivid detail, making Yuan Bao laugh continuously. His clear laughter echoed in the virtual space.
At this moment, Yuan Bao was filled with anticipation for what kind of catch she would have from sea fishing. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity and longing, as if she could already see those plump fish struggling on the hook.
Before long, they arrived at the designated fishing spot on the island.
As soon as Yuan Baogang set foot there, he was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery before him.
The azure sea is like a giant mirror, sparkling and shimmering. Sunlight pours down, as if spreading a layer of shattered gold on the sea surface.
The gentle waves rhythmically lapped against the dark brown rocks on the shore, splashing up white, snow-white sprays and making a pleasant "whoosh" sound.
The sea breeze, carrying the unique salty smell of the ocean, gently brushed against her cheeks and stirred her hair, making her feel refreshed and as if all the troubles of the world had been swept away by the sea breeze.
Yuan Bao happily assumed her stance. She stood gracefully on the shore, her feet slightly apart, like a pine tree rooted in the rocks.
She held the fishing rod firmly in her right hand. The rod was made of tough material, with a faint glow on its shaft. The fishing line was thin but incredibly strong, and the hook was sharp and gleaming with a cold light.
Like a seasoned veteran, Yuan Bao flicked his wrist, and the fishing rod drew a beautiful arc in the air. With a "plop," the hook accurately plunged into the water, splashing up small water droplets that rippled outwards, breaking the calm of the sea.
Yuan Bao sat on a folding chair that had been prepared in advance on the shore. His eyes were like those of an eagle locking onto its prey, staring intently at the float. He gripped the fishing rod tightly in his hand, completely focused and not daring to relax for a moment.
Time seemed to stand still, slowly passing by second by second.
Just as Yuan Bao was slightly distracted, his thoughts drifting to how to pair the seafood feast with wine that evening, the float suddenly shook violently, as if it were being pulled by an invisible hand.
She instantly perked up and pulled the fishing rod sharply. She felt a small force come through, and when the hook broke through the water, Yuan Bao looked closely and saw that it was a wet kelp, green and dripping with water. The kelp leaves shimmered with a warm luster in the sunlight.
Seeing this, Little 9 couldn't help but burst out laughing. It rolled around in the air, clutching its stomach and chuckling, "Master, your first cast was truly a 'lucky start'! You caught a handful of seaweed; maybe you can take it home and make a cold salad with some vinegar and minced garlic—it'll taste pretty good!"
Yuan Bao pretended to be angry, puffing out his cheeks slightly, and rolled his eyes at it: "You're just good at talking nonsense. I don't believe it. I'll definitely catch a fish once I cast my line."
She rebaited the fish with fresh shrimp meat, which emitted an enticing aroma, and cast the fishing rod out again.
This time, Yuan Bao was even more focused, not daring to blink, as if everything around her was irrelevant, and only the buoy was the center of her world.
Not long after, the float stirred again, first trembling slightly a few times, then suddenly sinking.
She carefully lifted the rod, and saw a small sea fish, no bigger than the palm of her hand, struggling desperately on the hook. Its scales shimmered with dazzling silver light in the sunlight, and its gills opened and closed, splashing up tiny droplets of water.
Yuan Bao was both amused and exasperated. She frowned slightly and said helplessly, "Why are there only these little guys? How long will it take to catch enough for a seafood feast?"
Little 9 was also anxiously stamping its feet. It darted back and forth in the air, waving its hands: "Master, this won't do. At this speed, we won't be able to eat before dark."
Yuan Bao frowned, completely baffled. He had clearly mastered the technique perfectly, from the force and angle of casting to the timing of watching the float. So why couldn't he catch any big fish?
Little 9 circled around Yuan Bao a few times, observing him carefully like a detective. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Master, I know where the problem lies! Your fishing skill level is too low. It's like trying to challenge a dragon with a toy sword. What good can come of that?"
You see, there's a trick to fishing in this game. Only with a high skill level can you catch rare, big fish and have a bountiful harvest.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Bao felt that Xiao 9 made sense, and hurriedly checked her skill panel. The panel was like a door to a mysterious treasure trove of knowledge, which slowly opened under her fingertip. Sure enough, the fishing skill column pitifully showed level 1, dim and lifeless, as if silently telling her "newbie" level.
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao 9 continued to guide Yuan Bao: "My lord, I have a way to solve this once and for all. You have over 2 points now, so why not spend another 2790 points to upgrade your fishing skill to the maximum level in one go?"
This is an incredibly profitable business. From now on, when you go fishing, you'll be able to catch fish with ease, big and small.
Moreover, we can buy two more fishing spirit beasts to handle sea fishing. Any extra seafood can be automatically listed for sale in the market, increasing the space's daily revenue. This is a sure-fire way to make money! Little 9 spoke with great enthusiasm, his eyes shining, as if he could already see Yuan Bao's glorious future as a fishing tycoon.
Listening to Xiao 9's long-winded explanation, Yuan Bao considered it for a moment. He thought that it would satisfy Xiao 9's cravings and let it taste the delicious seafood, while also earning some extra money to add to his game wealth. It was indeed a good idea, so he happily did as he was told.
Yuan Bao opened the Life Skills section, then clicked on the Fishing Skill to upgrade it to the maximum level, reducing his current accumulated points to:
Next, she selected two adorable fishing spirit beasts from the spirit beast section of the mall. One was pure white with eyes as blue as the sea, like a sea sprite, named "Wave Rider"; the other had golden fur and sharp claws, like a little golden war god, named "Fish Seeker".
After Yuan Bao summoned and connected with the two little ones to max out their fishing skills, the two spirit beasts seemed to have returned to their home ground as soon as they arrived at the seaside. They cried out happily a few times, their clear and melodious voices breaking the tranquility of the seaside, and then quickly jumped into the water, splashing up a lot of water.
Before long, a group of fish was driven over by them. The fish were so dense that they looked like a colorful cloud floating in the water.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Bao was overjoyed. Her eyes widened, sparkling with delight. She cast her fishing rod again, and this time, the rod bent into an arc instantly. A tremendous force almost pulled Yuan Bao into the water. She quickly steadied herself, her feet seemingly rooted to the ground. She gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands and pulled back with all her might, the veins on her arms bulging slightly.
Little 9 cheered loudly from the side, "Go, Master! It's definitely a big fish." It jumped around in the air, its voice becoming a little hoarse.
After a fierce struggle, a giant grouper, about half the height of a person, finally broke out of the water. Its body was covered with beautiful patterns and colorful patterns, like a fine oil painting. Its fins were wide and powerful, shimmering with iridescent light in the sunlight. As its tail swayed, it splashed up crystal-clear water droplets.
Yuan Bao was panting heavily, her cheeks flushed, and sweat soaked her forehead, but her face was beaming with excitement, as if she had just conquered a mountain: "Great, I finally caught a big one!"
Little 9 was so excited that it did several somersaults in the air, shouting excitedly, "Master, I told you! With your upgraded skill and the help of the spirit beast, it'll be hard not to catch a big fish. Now our seafood feast is secured, and we can make a lot of money!"
In the following days, with the help of the two spirit beasts, Yuan Bao had a great harvest, catching all sorts of rare fish. There were tuna with golden scales, like swimming gold bars; there were octopuses with strange tentacles, wriggling their soft bodies on the shore; and there were sea urchins covered with sharp spines, like little hedgehogs.
They were piled up to one side like a small mountain, emitting a strong sea smell, the smell of a bountiful harvest.
Looking at her abundant harvest, she felt a great sense of accomplishment: "Today was truly worthwhile. I not only had a lot of fun, but I also gained so much."
Little 9 chimed in, "Yes, Master, with these two little ones here, we're sure to make a fortune."
With Xiao 9 and a heavy load of seafood, Yuan Bao embarked on his journey home.
Along the way, she had already begun planning how to cook these fresh ingredients. In her mind, it was like a gourmet kitchen. Would she steam the grouper to bring out the original flavor of the tender fish? Or would she braise the sea fish, coating the fish with a rich sauce to add a unique flavor? Or would she make a pot of delicious seafood soup, gathering the essence of various seafood to immerse her taste buds in the gifts of the ocean?
