Chapter 633: Chapter 263: The Fishing Competition Begins, Leading Cao Xing (6000)_3
Then, a roughly one-point-two-meter ice hole, with somewhat uneven edges, appeared on the spot.
Compared to someone as powerful as Chinon Dutra, whose level was unknown, what Lu’en accomplished was already quite impressive.
Cao Xing praised, “Lu’en, well done.”
Lu’en smiled sheepishly.
“Now, go help Blom open an ice hole too.”
“As you command, Lord!”
Lu’en quickly went to Blom’s side and did the same thing.
After a terrifying vibration,
another ice hole of about the same size quickly appeared in front of Blom.
From the moment Lu’en arrived to the opening of the two ice holes, it all took less than a minute.
Up till now, only three minutes had passed in the two-hour competition.
Cao Xing and the others had already prepared their fishing spots.
Meanwhile, other contestants were panting and wielding their tools, trying to break the ice.
However, after so long, they had only managed to crack ten centimeters of the ice.
Considering the thickness of the ice on the Anno River, they would need at least several more minutes to open an ice hole.
By that time, half of the competition would have already passed…
Thinking of this made the other contestants a bit anxious.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a skinny appearance, holding an iron hammer and a chisel, stood up and said, “Host, they’re cheating!”
“This is unfair!”
However, the organizer glanced at him and then said, “As I said, according to the competition rules, external assistance can be requested.”
“Apart from fishing, which you must do yourself, breaking the ice and opening the fishing spot can be assisted by others.”
“As a qualified angler, and considering that everyone has lived in this world since childhood, hadn’t you thought about this situation?”
“If you don’t even have that awareness, are you still worthy of calling yourself a professional fisherman?”
After being scolded by the host, this person was left speechless.
Because what he said was indeed the truth.
In this world, wherever you go fishing, you would face the challenge of breaking the ice.
If you don’t even have a means to break the ice, it seems you’re not suited for this occupation.
The young man who spoke lowered his head and continued hammering with his large iron hammer.
Others, too, hurriedly continued to chisel the ice surface!
At this moment, Blom swung his [Black-Stripped Wooden Fishing Rod] and laughed, “Aha! Blom can now show his skills!”
Cao Xing, unhurriedly, took out the Mad King’s Fishing Rod, then hooked on a [Special Pet Food (Green)], ready to test the fish’s bite.
Unlike Snow Fall Lake, the water in Anno River was flowing.
The icy river water continuously flowed beneath the ice layer under their feet, making the sound of gurgling water…
Cao Xing looked down but couldn’t see how deep the water was or how many creatures were hidden beneath.
But any creature that survived in this world naturally had completed an evolutionary process.
He slowly released the fishing line into the water, then took out a small stool from his backpack and waited leisurely.
Moreover, he took out a roasted rabbit leg from his backpack and started nibbling while fishing.
If it weren’t for the fishing competition, Cao Xing would have even called Renice, Sarah, and Liu Muxue over.
Wouldn’t it be great to have two beauties massage his legs and another beauty massage his shoulders?
Just as Cao Xing was daydreaming, he suddenly felt a slight movement from the fishing rod.
In an instant, he reacted.
“Oh? A fish already?”
At this moment, the fish that bit the hook began to struggle fiercely underwater, and Cao Xing immediately grabbed the Mad King’s Fishing Rod.
The [Fishing Master] title could increase his power and the success rate of fishing, and the epic-level [Mad King’s Fishing Rod] had a terrifying endurance.
Dealing with such river fish was a piece of cake!
“Swish… swish…”
The sound of water continuously echoed.
After thirty seconds of stalemate, Cao Xing felt the fish’s strength weakening.
He seized the moment and gave a sharp tug!
“Swish!”
A fish with pale yellow scales, an oval body, and a large head with a small mouth was pulled up by Cao Xing.
This fish, nearly half a meter long, kept bouncing on the icy surface, seemingly trying to jump back into the water.
Before Cao Xing could check its attributes,
the nearby host announced through a loudspeaker, “Contestant 47, a Cichlid Fish of fine quality, 2 points!”
On the shore, the scorekeepers quickly flipped the scoreboards.
Seeing this, the other contestants, struggling to chisel the ice holes, stopped and looked over!
They consoled themselves, “Luckily, it’s just a fine quality Cichlid Fish, so the points added aren’t much. We can quickly catch up!”
However, despite saying this, everyone became more vigorous in their actions.
Cao Xing then walked over and packed the fish away.
[Obtained: Cichlid Fish (Green) *1]
…
“Oh? It really is a Cichlid Fish. Seems like this host has some skill.”
Cao Xing glanced at its attributes.
[Cichlid Fish (Green)]
[Level: 3]
[Weight: 3.6 KG]
[Effect: First consumption, Spirit +3, Constitution +1]
(Note: Cichlid Fish require high water quality, have a delicious taste, and can be directly processed into 3 pieces of Fish Meat. They can also be sold to merchants or shops in town.)
…
“Increasing 3 points of Spirit and 1 point of Constitution, not bad for a green-quality fish meat.”
