Chapter 197 Epic, Mad King Fishing Rod!
[Obtain: Codfish (green)*1]

Cao Xing looked at the fish in his hand with satisfaction.

This cod is half the length of an adult's arm, with graceful lines and green scales, and a very beautiful appearance.

It weighs about three or four kilograms.

Look at the properties.

【Hadfish (green)】

[Level: Level 4]

【Weight: 3.4KG】

[Effect: First consumption, Spirit +2, Constitution +2]

(Note: The extremely tender cod can be directly broken down into 3 pieces of cod meat, or sold to merchants or shops in the city.)
...

"Two points of spirit and physique, these attributes are not bad, even higher than the bonus of some green quality beast meat!"

Cao Xing was very excited. Today's first harvest was a good one.

at the same time.

Bron also successfully caught his first fish.

He laughed and said, "My Lord, this is a 6-kilogram nailhead fish!"

Cao Xing was delighted after hearing this.

6 kilograms, that's a really big fish.

“Keep up the good work, Bron,” he encouraged.

"As you command! Lord Lord!"

Then he started his second wave of fishing.

Re-bait the fish and lower the line into the water.

In less than two minutes, Cao Xing felt a strong force coming from his hands again!
After the first time, he was no longer as awkward as before.

Instead, he began to lift the fishing rod with ease and confronted the underwater creature.

It was not until almost a minute later that Cao Xing felt that the underwater creature seemed to have run out of strength.

He mentioned it again!
In an instant, a creature with a pointed head, bulging light brown eyes and white scales was caught by him.

[Obtain: Nailfish (green)*1]

"Oh? Isn't this the fish that Bron just caught?"

Look at the properties.

【Nailfish (green)】

[Level: Level 3]

【Weight: 6.3KG】

[Effect: First consumption, Strength +2, Constitution +2]

(Note: Fish with slightly softer meat can be directly decomposed into 6 pieces of nailhead fish meat, 1 piece of fish meat = 5 food, or it can be directly sold to merchants or taverns in the city)
...

"Not bad, not bad. Another fish that is comparable to green beast meat."

Cao Xing continued fishing.

As the levers were lifted one by one, system prompts kept appearing.

[Obtain: Yellow croaker (green)*1]

[Obtain: Codfish (green)*1]

[Obtain: Luohu Carp (Green)*1]

For five consecutive times, all the fish caught were green quality fish.

The weight is about 3 to 7 kilograms.

It was not until the sixth time that Cao Xing clearly felt a greater force in the fishing rod in his hand!

The cold lake water began to churn, and waves of huge force came.

“There’s great stuff!”

Cao Xing was startled and then grabbed the fishing rod even harder.

Wow! Wow!

The sound of water continued.

Under his control, the underwater creatures gradually lost their strength.

And Cao Xing suddenly raised it.

The moment the water surface was broken, everyone felt that what Cao Xing had caught was a silver dragon.

The whole body is covered with dazzling silver scales, and the figure with smooth lines is full of beauty!
[Obtain: Silver Salmon (Purple)*1]

...

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

“Hahaha! I finally caught my first silver salmon!”

Look at the properties.

[Silver Salmon (Purple): Magical Creature]

[Level: Level 11]

[Weight: 7.4 kg]

[Effect: When consumed for the first time, it can increase the health limit by 300 points and increase the population limit by 3 (can take effect up to 3 times)]

(Note: The silver salmon has extremely tender meat and is loved by the nobles and wealthy. It can be broken down into 7 pieces of silver salmon meat, 1 piece of fish = 5 food)

...

"It's actually a level 11 silver salmon, weighing seven kilograms!"

Cao Xing was delighted.

Because in this way, he can take the extra fish to the trading market and trade with other survivors.

Currently, no one is trading purple quality animal meat or fish in the market.

The last time Cao Xing sold leader-level wild boar meat, the market price was 100g of meat = 100 Ice Dragon Marks.

As a magical creature, the meat of the silver salmon is obviously stronger than that of the wild boar meat.

In other words, 100g of silver salmon meat can be sold for at least 200 Ice Dragon Marks!

7 pieces of fish equal 7 kilograms, which can be divided into 70 trades.

This silver salmon alone is worth at least more than ten thousand Ice Dragon Marks!

"Haha! I'm rich now!"

Cao Xing put the silver salmon away.

Then continue fishing.

[Obtain: Codfish (green)*1]

[Obtain: Yellow croaker (green)*1]

[Obtain: Red Salmon (Blue)*1]

...

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing was stunned, "Huh? A blue quality fish appeared?"

Look at the properties.

【Red salmon (blue)】

[Level: Level 7]

[Weight: 6.9 kg]

[Effect: The first consumption can increase health by 200 points]

(The salmon has tender meat and beautiful shape, and has good ornamental value. It can be broken down into 6 pieces of red salmon meat.)
...

"Not bad. The 200 health bonus is enough to drive the survivors crazy."

“This sockeye salmon can be sold or eaten by yourself.”

Cao Xing put it into his backpack.

Keep fishing.

Wow!

He caught many fish from Luoxue Lake.

Since it is a purple quality fishing rod with special bait, there is basically no empty rod situation.

Soon, the remaining [Special Pet Food (Green)] in his backpack was used up.

The total amount caught.

【Hadfish (green)*5】

【Yellow croaker (green)*3】

[Nailfish (green)*4]

[Red salmon (blue) *3]

【Silver salmon (purple)*2】

...

"Not bad, the harvest is about the same as I expected."

"The two silver salmon weigh more than ten kilograms in total!"

He glanced at Bron and asked, "Bron, how was the harvest?"

Bron shouted, "Don't worry, Lord! Bron has a great harvest. We have already caught three silver salmon!"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.

According to Braum, this wave is really a great harvest!
According to the market price, the silver salmon in his hand alone are worth at least 60,000 to 70,000 Ice Dragon Marks.

Combined with the material reserves you have, you can exchange it for another golden treasure chest.

"That's great."

Cao Xing thought happily.

Then he looked at his backpack.

In addition to the green-quality [Special Pet Rations], Cao Xing also has 5 blue-quality rations.

"Higher quality rations should be more attractive to fish!"

"Let me see if this thing can give me some surprises!"

Cao Xing hung the first blue ration on the fishhook and slowly lowered it under the water.

This time, after only one minute, Cao Xing felt a huge force coming from the fishing rod in his hand!
The sudden burst of force even caused Cao Xing to be pulled back half a step.

"Oh my god? So fierce?"

Cao Xing became serious and began to patiently fight with the underwater creatures!
The stalemate lasted about three minutes.

After the underwater creature ran out of strength, he instantly seized the opportunity.

Then, a shimmering, silvery salmon was caught by Cao Xing.

Moreover, this salmon is as long as Cao Xing’s arm, and it is the biggest salmon he has ever caught!
[Obtain: Silver Salmon (Purple)*1]

Look at the properties.

[Silver Salmon (Purple): Magical Creature]

[Level: Level 17]

[Weight: 13.8 kg]

[Effect: Same as above]

(Note: The extremely tender silver salmon can be decomposed into 13 pieces of silver salmon meat, 1 piece of fish = 5 food)

...

"Haha! Almost 14 kilograms of silver salmon. If I were on the blue planet, I could brag about it for a year!"

There was excitement in Cao Xing's eyes.

To him, these are not silver salmon, but real money that can be exchanged for various resources!

The blue bait was obviously better than the green bait, so he continued fishing.

Cao Xing caught one giant fish after another of different colors and much larger than the previous ones!

System prompts keep appearing.

[Obtain: Red Salmon (Blue)*1]

[Obtain: Flying Fish (Blue)*1]

[Obtain: Silver Salmon (Purple)*1]

[Obtain: Red Salmon (Blue)*1]

...

It took about half an hour.

All five blue-quality pet rations are used up!
The harvest can be said to be quite fruitful.

Bron walked over with a flushed face.

It can be seen that he also gained a lot.

"Haha! Lord, Bron caught five silver salmon this time!"

After hearing this, Cao Xing also showed joy on his face, "Well done, Bron!"

After saying that, he collected all of Bron's catches.

[Obtain: Codfish (green)*6]

[Obtain: Yellow croaker (green)*3]

[Obtain: Nailfish (green)*4]

[Obtain: Flying Fish (Blue)*2]

[Obtain: Red Salmon (Blue)*3]

[Obtain: Silver Salmon (Purple)*5]

...

Remove those green and blue quality fish.

The silver salmon alone, plus the four in Cao Xing's hand, weighed more than 64 kilograms in total!

In other words, these silver salmon are worth nearly 12 Ice Dragon Marks, which can be exchanged for a gold treasure chest.

This time, the total time Cao Xing spent, including the journey, was less than three hours.

He said excitedly: "This wave is really a big profit!"

"Compared to the hundreds of thousands of kronor invested in pet food, selling two silver salmon would probably make more than that."

"Among the survivors, I'm probably the only one who knows that special pet food is very attractive to fish."

"Moreover, the fishing spot at Luoxue Lake has not been discovered by other survivors."

"This is a huge resource point for me!"

Thinking of this, Cao Xing made a secret decision.

Next time if you come across a merchant selling pet food, be sure to buy all of his stock.

This is a sure-fire deal.

"But it's a pity that we didn't catch any golden salmon this time."

Cao Xing felt a little regretful.

But after thinking about it, this is normal.

After all, the fishing rod in his hand was only of purple grade and could not catch creatures like golden salmon.

Then he looked at his backpack again.

There are also five boss-level snow demon tongues and one leader-level tongue.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "The tongue of the snow demon should be a higher-level bait, or a prop with a very strong pungent taste. It should be enough to catch magical creatures of the golden salmon level."

"But the fishing rod I have is not good enough, so I guess what I'll catch is probably silver salmon or something like that."

He looked at the old man fishing in the distance, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Would you like to go and borrow Qinong's fishing rod?"

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing decided to go.

After all, he has already established a good relationship with this strong man, so if he just wants to borrow the fishing rod, the other party should not refuse.

He brought his men to Qinong.

And the old man had finished fishing.

Cao Xing smiled and asked, "Mr. Qinong, how was the harvest?"

Qinong also had a happy look on his face, "It was a good harvest. I caught two silver salmon."

"Lord Cao Xing, I'll give you one."

Hearing this, Cao Xing quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. I also caught a lot of silver salmon this time. You should keep them for your wife."

Qinong didn't say anything polite after hearing this.

At this time, Cao Xing asked directly:

"Sir Qinong, I would like to ask you for a favor. I would like to borrow your fishing rod."

"I wonder if it's convenient for you?"

Hearing this, Qinong thought for a moment and nodded, "It is of course possible for Lord Cao Xing to lend me my fishing rod."

After saying that, he handed the fishing rod in his hand to Cao Xing.

[Obtain: Crazy King Fishing Rod (Orange)*1]

...

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing's eyes flickered.

Good guy!
This was not the golden fishing rod he expected, but an orange fishing rod of higher quality!
That is, epic quality!

I suppressed my excitement and took a look at the properties.

【Crazy King Fishing Rod (Orange)】

[Quality: Epic]

[Durability: 1370/1500]

[Fishing range: epic fish]

[Maximum bearing capacity: 5 kg + 5 kg]

[Additional special effect ①: Natural recovery (every hour, the fishing rod will automatically recover 1 point of durability)]

[Additional special effect ②: Mad King's power (With the Mad King's power, the fishing rod will not break easily, and the maximum bearing capacity increases by 5 kg.)]

[Additional effect ③: Lucky Fishing King (When fishing, the chance of catching rare or higher quality fish increases by 20%)]

(Equipment introduction: I declare! The champion of this fishing competition is the owner of the Crazy King Fishing Rod - the host of the Measuring Waters Fishing Competition.)
...

After seeing the properties of this epic fishing rod, Cao Xing's pupils shrank again.

What a powerful attribute!
A maximum bearing capacity of 10 kilograms, what does this mean?
That’s equivalent to one hundred tons!

Isn't it possible to catch any giant fish?
"What a nice fishing rod." Cao Xing exclaimed.

Qinong beside him smiled and said, "Yes, this was given to me by an old friend who has passed away. He was originally a fisherman living in the permafrost sea. I met him by chance when I was young and traveling across the continent."

"In addition to his superb fishing skills, he also has extremely powerful strength. People call him the Mad King."

Cao Xing also exclaimed: "Haha, what a resounding name!"

Qinong observed Cao Xing's expression, then looked at the fishing rod in his hand, and seemed to have thought of something.

The old man was very straightforward, so he asked directly: "Lord Cao Xing, you suddenly asked me to borrow a fishing rod, is it because you got the tongue of the snow demon?"

Cao Xing was shocked after hearing this.

This Qinong is really good at judging people.

Cao Xing was not prepared to hide it from him, so he replied: "Yes, I did get a few tongues of snow demons."

Hearing this, Qinong's eyes showed a little surprise.

“It’s really amazing,” he exclaimed.

"The Snow Demon is a very cautious and difficult creature."

"Although I have the ability to kill them easily, once they sense danger, they will run away immediately."

"The more powerful the snow demon, the harder it is to kill."

Cao Xing nodded. He had a deep understanding of this.

If he hadn't been prepared in advance, he would not have been able to kill these snow demons.

Qinong said again: "Lord Cao Xing, last time I said that the snow demon tongue can catch king salmon. This is true."

"But the whereabouts of the king salmon are erratic, so you'd better not hold out too much hope."

"And it is also related to a legendary weapon. It is said that the owner of each legendary weapon is destined."

Cao Xing smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Qinong, thank you for the reminder."

He really didn't have high expectations.

If you don't catch the king salmon, it's also good to catch the legendary golden salmon.

Thinking of this, Cao Xing picked up the [Mad King Fishing Rod] and returned to his original fishing spot.

This location is pretty good.

Including Qinong also came over.

He was also a little curious about what Cao Xing could catch with the snow demon's tongue.

Under the gaze of everyone.

Cao Xing took out a scarlet tongue from his backpack.

There was an alarming smell of blood.

For some reason, when the snow demon used its tongue to attack, it could become very slender and attack enemies ten meters away.

After being killed, the tongue seems to shrink and becomes only the size of an index finger, which is just right as bait.

Qinon exclaimed: "It is indeed the tongue of the snow demon."

"It's no wonder that this strong smell attracts fish underwater."

Cao Xing smiled and hung it on the fishhook.

Then put it into water.

Everyone began to wait together.

This time, it took less than a minute.

A huge force appeared again!
Cao Xing was carried away and rushed forward two steps.

But he reacted quickly and pulled the fishing rod hard!

Although the underwater creatures were very strong, they did not exceed Cao Xing's limits!
The two sides were in a stalemate again!
Soon, the underwater creatures were out of strength!

As Cao Xing suddenly mentioned it.

A huge silver salmon, at least one meter in size and sparkling in the water, was caught.

[Obtain: Silver Salmon (Purple)*1]

...

"Wow? So big?"

Cao Xing took a look at the properties and found that it weighed 18 kilograms!
"It's amazing! This silver salmon is worth the previous two!"

The effect of the snow demon's tongue is really great!

Moreover, what Cao Xing used was the tongue of a second-level boss-level snow demon.

The rest in his backpack were the third-order boss-level or even leader-level snow demon tongues.

When Cao Xing took it out, a stronger smell spread.

Put the fish hook on and put it in the water.

Cao Xing suddenly felt an unprecedented force coming!
He was almost carried away.

Cao Xing hurriedly grabbed the fishing rod, but found that he still could not stop the momentum and was about to be dragged into the lake!
