Chapter 634: Chapter 263: The Fishing Competition Begins, Leading Cao Xing (6000)_4
Cao Xing quietly nodded.
A cichlid fish of this weight, if sold, could fetch almost three to four thousand kroner.
And currently, Cao Xing’s investment was only a thousand kroner, netting a profit of two to three times, which was quite impressive.
Meanwhile.
Before everyone could recover their senses.
Over there, the big guy, Blom, suddenly gave a lift!
A light yellow cichlid about the same size as Cao Xing’s was pulled up!
Blom laughed loudly, saying, “Haha, Blom has also caught something, Lord!”
Cao Xing smiled and encouraged him, saying, “Not bad, keep it up.”
The host still broadcasted first thing.
“Contestant number 48, excellent quality, one cichlid fish, worth 2 points!”
The record keepers by the shore quickly flipped the scorecards again.
So far, the competition had been going on for five minutes.
Both Cao Xing and Blom had already caught one cichlid fish each.
While other contestants hadn’t even broken through the ice hole yet.
At this rate, the gap would only widen.
This made everyone more anxious.
“Clang! Clang clang!”
The sound of ice hammers striking echoed continuously.
Meanwhile, Cao Xing leisurely put down the second bait.
This time, again, it was less than two minutes.
Cao Xing once more felt a sensation on the fishing rod.
And this time, the struggle was even stronger!
“Haha, the effect of the special pet food is as outrageous as ever!”
“It’s been less than two minutes, and there’s already another catch!”
You have to know that fishing in the river is not easier than fishing in Snow Fall Lake.
After all, one is flowing water, and the other is relatively still.
However, the special pet food’s attraction to fish was just too strong!
Cao Xing was overjoyed, then firmly grasped the fishing rod.
“Swish… splash!”
A stream of giant power continuously emanated from under the lake’s surface.
This underwater creature had formidable strength, but for Cao Xing now, it was a breeze.
After a standoff of a few dozen seconds with it, Cao Xing suddenly gave a pull!
A large fish entirely in a pinkish-red hue, with a pair of fins up and down, with graceful lines, and a length of seventy to eighty centimeters, was suddenly pulled up by Cao Xing.
“Thud!”
The red fish was swung onto the ground by Cao Xing.
Upon witnessing this scene, the villagers watching were instantly filled with curiosity.
“Oh gods above, what kind of fish is that?”
“Yeah, it looks so big, it must be worth a lot, right?”
And next to it, the host, after taking a good look, immediately shouted, “Contestant number 47, superior quality rouge fish, worth 5 points!”
Cheers erupted instantly on the shore.
Although they didn’t know what a rouge fish was.
After all, the words “superior quality” alone proved the fish’s value.
At this time, a villager on the shore shouted loudly, “Host, what kind of fish is a rouge fish? Is it very precious?”
That host explained, “Although the rouge fish is not the main species in our competition, it is still a precious magic fish.”
“It is said that its meat naturally carries a faint aroma. When made into soup, the taste is enough to be described as fragrant for miles.”
“Moreover, its scales also have significant effects. When ground into powder, it is said to have beauty and skincare benefits, favored by those noble ladies.”
“This rouge fish seems to weigh seven to eight pounds. If sold, it would fetch at least over forty thousand kroner!”
Upon hearing this number, a wave of exclamations rose from the audience.
“My gosh! Can one fish really sell for that much money?”
“What a magical big fish this is!”
The villagers by the shore were filled with shock in their eyes.
After all, over forty thousand kroner was already enough for a household’s expenses for nearly two years!
