Chapter 10: Chapter 10: Time to Fish

Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ji Chen gained a wealth of knowledge through his exposure to the information explosion era, including the art of fishing.

He understood that timing was key when it came to fishing. Typically, the best times for fishing were during the early morning or late afternoon to early evening, as the water temperature was just right for fish to be actively looking for food.

However, certain times of the day, such as noon, were not ideal for fishing due to the unfavorable water temperature.

At this time, the sun was beating down, causing the temperature of the shallow waters to rise. The fish sought refuge in the deeper waters or stayed in their nests to avoid the heat, making it difficult to catch any fish. It was highly likely to come back empty-handed during this time of the day.

Seeing that it was about to enter the prime time for fishing in the afternoon, Ji Chen took some octopus meat as bait and called the Murlocs to the beach.

He was looking for a suitable fishing spot.

In the end, he chose the reefs near the stranded ship.

The depth here was suitable, and there were often small fish around the reef, which would easily attract big fish.

Moreover, it was not far from the territory.

It was a good place for fishing!

He took out his fishing rod, hung some bait on it, and cast it with all his might.

Then, he settled into a patient and meditative state, resembling that of an experienced angler, waiting for a willing fish to bite the bait.

The sea breeze blew gently.

As he waited patiently, the world became quiet. It was as if he could only hear the rhythmic sound of the tide.

This was Ji Chen’s first time fishing in this world, and he felt a bit nervous. However, with the boost from his fishing rod and the dual effects of his lord talent, he didn’t have to wait long for the sea to give him something.

The bobber floating on the water suddenly sank, and a force was transmitted through the fishing line to his hand.

“Got something! And it’s not light!”

Ji Chen’s face lit up. He quickly grabbed the fishing rod and pulled it up.

“Ding! Your sub-profession Fisherman’s proficiency has increased by 1 point. ”

Along with the hook, a glass bottle was pulled out of the water.

The fishing rod happened to hook onto the soft cork stopper of a glass bottle, inside of which was a bulging cloth bag.

[Bag containing coins]

[Remarks]: Seems to contain some coins?

“Congratulations! You have obtained 22 Aureus gold coins.”

Curiously, he picked up one of the coins.

The coin was entirely golden, with a man’s head imprinted on it.

Hmm… not as handsome as him.

He had seen some players discussing the currency system of this world on the forums before.

The two most widely used currencies in this world were the Aureus gold coin in his hand and the Kels silver coin. The former had a higher value, and the exchange rate between the two was 1:10.

From a certain perspective, the currency could also be considered a resource that could be used to trade with the natives for other resources.

Ji Chen was in a good mood after catching a real gold coin on his first fishing rod.

He couldn’t help but think, “I must be a natural at fishing.”

With a smirk, he stowed the gold coins in his backpack and cast his line once more.

This time, it only took about 20 seconds before he felt a tug on the line. With practiced ease, he reeled in the catch to take a look.

To his surprise, it was a glass bottle containing a rolled-up parchment inside.

The notification chimed, “Ding ~ You have obtained a 2-Star Treasure: Edward’s treasure map.”

2-star treasure?

Treasure map?

He immediately perked up and focused his eyes to check.

[Treasure Map]

[Level: 2 stars]

[Effect: Records the location of the treasure buried by a great pirate named Edward.]

[Do you want my treasure? Go find it! I put all my treasures there]

The location of an unknown island was marked on the waterproof parchment map, and a red circle was drawn in the center of the island.

Even though the location on the map was very vague, Ji Chen had a feeling that if he wanted to go there, he would definitely be able to find it.

The thought was peculiar, yet undeniably certain.

This treasure map could only be used in the future. He didn’t even have a decent ship now. How could he cross the vast sea to find the treasure?

However, it was still a good harvest. He put it away with a smile, but a thought crossed his mind.

“Money and treasure maps are great, but they can only be used after we leave the island.”

“I wonder if I can catch something that can be used now?”

A gentle sea breeze suddenly blew from the depths of the sea.

He could not help but squint his eyes and enjoy the gentle breeze.

He took a deep breath and threw the hook again.

This time, it took a bit longer than the previous catches. It took a full five minutes before he felt a tug on the hook.

“Ding ~ You have obtained an unknown piece of clothing.”

Ji Chen’s face contorted in disgust as he saw a pair of pink lace panties hanging from the hook. Who would be so careless as to throw such trash into the ocean? Didn’t they realize that preserving the ocean was everyone’s responsibility?

Despite his frustration, Ji Chen couldn’t help but notice that the style of the panties was surprisingly fashionable. It made him wonder if the natives of this world had a sense of fun and fashion.

He picked up the item with disdain and threw it aside.

Seeing this scene, the Murloc lying idle on the beach suddenly lit up with interest.

With a splash, he cast the rod again, and upon seeing what was on the hook, a smile spread across his face.

This time, he finally caught something useful.

It was a blueprint for a building!

[Building Blueprint: Resource Detection Tower]

[Level: Special]

[Effect: Able to detect the nearest resource point in the territory.]

[Usage: 3/3 times per week]

[Resources required for construction: 500 units of wood, 500 units of stone]

[Area: 5×5 (m)]

In Lord of Glory, there were various resource points in the wilderness that could provide a stable source of resources.

These resource points were classified into five levels based on the quality of resources they provided, ranging from Level 1 to Level 5.

Additionally, the resources were also classified based on the size of their reserves, ranging from miniature to giant.

For instance, a Level 1 resource point could be a crude iron mine that produced crude iron or a clay mine that produced ordinary clay. These Level 1 resource points provided resources such as crude iron and clay.

Higher-level resource points, like the copper mine that produced Level 2 copper ore resources or the crystal mine that produced Level 3 crystals, could provide significant benefits to building the territory or upgrading the military talent tree if obtained.

Today’s luck seemed to be on his side, and Ji Chen was determined to capitalize on it by making a few more casts.

For the rest of the afternoon, he sat on the reef and pulled his fishing rod continuously, resulting in a bountiful catch.

As the sun descended halfway down the sea level, Ji Chen finally put down his fishing rod. He began to tally up his gains for the day.

Aside from the gold coins, treasure maps, and building blueprints, he had previously found, he also had two new catches from his latest fishing session. These included 12 Aureus gold coins, 35 Kels silver coins, an ordinary bone that appeared to be human, a decomposing sea snake carcass, a resource bag, and a bottle of colorless liquid.

Disregarding the bone and the rotting corpse, he picked up the resource bag and inspected its contents.

[Small Resource Bag]

[Effect: After use, you can obtain 200 units of wood, stone, fiber, clay, and coarse iron.]

He opened the resource bag and obtained a total of 1000 units of resources, which was always useful to have.

Then he examined the bottle of colorless liquid, initially thinking it was just an ordinary bottle. However, when he saw its attributes, he was surprised.

[Cupid’s Potion]

[Level: Special]

[Effect: Can forcefully increase the favorability of an intelligent creature to 100 points.]

Love God?

Anything that had anything to do with the gods was something extraordinary. This was an ironclad rule in ‘The Lord of Glory’.

And this potion could actually forcefully increase the favorability of intelligent creatures to 100 points. The effect was so domineering that it was simply indescribable.

“If a dragon hatchling appears, could I use it to tame one?” he thought excitedly.

What a profitable catch!

It seemed that the Lord’s talent of Sea’s Favor was much more powerful than he had imagined.

He could even fish up things related to gods!

Ji Chen smirked and put it in his backpack.

As the sky darkened, he decided to pack up his fishing gear and head back. But suddenly, he felt that something was off.

Wait a minute, wasn’t I here to fish?

He had caught a lot of miscellaneous items, but why hadn’t he caught a single fish?

Wasn’t this considered leaving empty-handed?
