“The best time to pull is three to five seconds after it bobs,” Lu Li said as he slowly pulled up a purple Scrumptious Fish that was desperately struggling on the hook.

He had caught his first fish!

The old man standing near them watched Lu Li’s group in envy. They were all young, so he thought that their fishing level couldn’t have been very high.

He watched as they had a jolly time, but he didn’t expect Lu Li to actually get anything. It was said that the Scrumptious fish was very difficult to catch.

The old man had excellent fishing skills and had already made two catches, but neither of them were Scrumptious Fish. The fishing competition only counted the Scrumptious Fish, so the others were useless.

When Water Fairy also pulled up a fish, the old man’s face turned green with envy.

It was another Scrumptious Fish!

Lu Xin clapped her hands happily and Water Fairy’s face also lit up. Of course, they were able to catch two Scrumptious Fish in a row because they knew the trick to it, but to those who didn’t, it definitely looked very impressive.

“Grandpa, there’s something on your hook,” Lu Xin kindly reminded this old man who seemed to be dreaming.

“Oh…oh…”

The old man regained his composure and gave his rod a yank.

A Scrumptious Fish!

He quickly put it away and regained some of his confidence.

However, in the next moment, this was crushed as he watched Lu Li pull out his second Scrumptious Fish.

Then, Water Fairy caught another one, and Lu Li yet another!

The poor old man, who had experienced so much in his life, was now being so easily beaten like this.

However, after successfully pulling up four fish, Lu Li picked up his fishing tackle and began to leave with Lu Xin and Water Fairy.

“Why are we leaving such a good spot?”

Both Water Fairy and Lu Xin didn’t want to go – they had managed to catch four fish in less than a minute. If they continued on, they were bound to get the Epic equipment.

“There’s no more fish; a fishing spot can only be fished from four or five times. At most it would be six. That would be too imbalanced otherwise,” Lu Li laughed. There had to be some restrictions on how they could find fish.

Later, they found two more fishing spots, but both were occupied. Those players didn’t know that it was a fishing spot, but some were lucky and stumbled upon it. Stranglethorn Vale was now quite filled with players.

Water Fairy didn’t know what else to say.

“Maybe I’ll just find a quiet spot to continue fishing.”

“Let me keep looking,” Lu Li insisted. After a few minutes, they finally found a place that was less crowded.

One Scrumptious Fish!

Two Scrumptious Fish!

The third should also have been a Scrumptious Fish, but when Water Fairy pulled it out, something didn’t feel right.

It wasn’t the blueish-purple Scrumptious Fish, but a red monster with claws.

“It’s a lobster!” Lu Xin exclaimed.

She really liked eating lobster, and back when they were poor, having it was quite a treat. Unfortunately, one of the kinds of foods that she couldn’t eat after the surgery was crayfish.

After Water Fairy picked it up, she put the so called ‘Mr.Claws’ into her backpack.

“Why did I get a lobster instead of a Scrumptious Fish?” Water Fairy asked in disappointment. Although she didn’t expect to win, she was still hoping to walk away with a decent catch. After all, the Scrumptious Fish was the currency of the fishing competition and could be traded to the NPCs for EXP, money, equipment, clothes, pets and more.

“Keep fishing, and don’t throw away Mr.Claws. I’ll show you a trick with it later,” Lu Li said as he shook his head. This woman had no idea what she was doing.

“What kind of trick?” Water Fairy asked.

“You’ll see in a bit. I actually wanted to catch one myself,” Lu Li sighed.

“I’ll give it to you then,” Water Fairy offered generously.

When he heard this, Lu Li looked at her in surprise.

“You can’t. Don’t you know that fishing loot can’t be traded during fishing competitions?”

“I… I forgot,” Water Fairy muttered, then went back to focusing on her floater and pulled up a black fish.

“Big bro, I want to fish too,” Lu Xin begged in a cute voice. Particularly since she was recovering, this was the only weapon she could use.

Perhaps she had just been spoiled by the landladies and Lu Li was too busy playing the game to notice.

“Alright, but you have to follow my instructions. Don’t get too excited – otherwise, I’ll send you to bed,” Lu Li said helplessly, then took out a rod and tackle.

In fact, he already had the equipment ready, and was just waiting for Lu Xin to calm down before giving it to her.

“Big bro is the best!” Lu Xin exclaimed as she gave her brother a kiss.

“Hey, you already have a fish!” Lu Li pointed out.

Lu Xin was a casual player and would fish from time to time, so she was naturally more proficient at this than Lu Li and already had quite a high Fishing level.

With the three of them using it at once, the spot wasn’t sustainable. However, Lu Li quickly thought of a idea – he would find a fishing spot for Water Fairy, then find one for Lu Xin before finding one for himself…

“Hey, little girl, are you alone? Do you want me to help you?”

Lu Xin was a cute little girl and was bound to attract some attention. These two players with fishing rods had seen her as they were walking along.

Perhaps they had come up to talk to her because they saw that Lu Xin was alone.

“That’s alright. My big bro is here,” Lu Xin replied seriously because she was focused on fishing. She didn’t notice any malicious intent from them at all.

“Your brother? Where is he? We can’t see him. How about we stick together? We are both fishing experts with high level floaters and lures. We’ll share what we get with you; we’re both good people,” the two players offered. They seemed like decent people; the taller one even looked quite gentle like a middle school teacher.

“I don’t want to – you’re both bad guys. I’m staying with my big bro,” Lu Xin said as she stared at him.

Anyone that tried to take her away from her big bro was a bad person – there was no question about it!

“Hey…”

One of them felt like the reason she had for thinking that they were bad guys was not quite right.

“Little girl, your little face is so cute…” the shorter player said with a smile, but he was afraid to attack her. If the System determined that they were harassing this young girl, the punishment would not be as simple as being killed. They might even lose their accounts.

However, these kinds of actions and words were already harmful for an underage girl.
