Chapter 398: No Regrets
Hatred blinded him, and he missed out on many beautiful scenery as a result.
He still remembers that at that time, the loving master was helpless and disappointed;
and Master's best friend, the cynicism that hated not to make steel.
No way, he was too easy to get on at that time, and he was not mature and stable enough.
However, the hardships and setbacks in his previous life also became the basis for him to become stronger in this life.
Alas!
Time is also fate.
With a sigh, Fang Xuan shook his head with a wry smile.
Look again at the corner of his backpack, where there are ten large fish baskets.
Each basket contains a full 100 live deep-sea electric eels.
Fang Xuan, who was satisfied, took a deep breath and dispelled the depression in his heart.
This was a rarity he had previously swept from the Exchange House from the Soul Eater Swamp to the Shining Gold Town for 50 to 99 silver each.
You must know that in his previous life, when he was level 90, every rare quality deep-sea electric eel was fried to a price comparable to that of a level 50 gold equipment.
Fang Xuan didn't understand at first, why was a deep-sea electric eel so expensive?
Later, after his slow investigation, he found that the use of deep-sea electric eels is really a bit strange.
For example, a chef can cook a deep-sea electric eel into:
Kabayaki Eel (Bronze), Eel Rice (Bronze), Cold Eel with Plum Sauce (Silver), Eel Egg Roll (Silver), Eel Sushi (Gold), Eel Tofu Roll (Gold), Eel Yanagawa Pot (Dark Gold), Dream Eel Don (Dark Gold), etc., can greatly increase the player's basic and passive attributes.
For another example, in the level 50 second-order transfer team secret realm - [Storm Fortress], there is a section of underground dungeon densely packed with traps.
Each player needs to activate the trap with the help of the current of a deep-sea electric eel each time in order to open the door to the underground dungeon and pass through safely.
Otherwise, the player will be drowned in an underground dungeon.
Suffice it to say, if you want to get the second-order transfer special item for the final boss in Storm Fortress, you must prepare at least one deep-sea electric eel.
However, the rare quality of deep-sea electric eels is only less likely to be obtained by an intermediate fisherman who has reached level 225 and sails a wind-ready fishing boat to the depths of the sea.
Think about it, how many players in Genesis want to transfer to the second order?
That's a population base of billions!
Another intermediate fisherman can catch a deep-sea electric eel almost every two hours in the best condition.
And that's not even counting the fact that fishermen may also encounter storms, tsunamis, sharks, and monsters while fishing.
Overall, an intermediate fisherman can catch three deep-sea electric eels a day, which is considered lucky.
In this kind of situation where wolves have more meat and less meat, it has led to the rise and rise of deep-sea electric eels in the market, and the supply exceeds demand.
On the forum on the official website of Genesis, there is also a post called "Deep Sea Electric Eel and Economics":
Originally, the price of a deep-sea electric eel in the trading house was 50 silver coins ~ 1 gold coin.
When the news that "the deep-sea electric eel is a must for players to change to the second order" was spread by those players who successfully transferred to the second order, the price increased to 50 gold coins in a very short period of time.
Such a high price also made the full-time fishing players make a lot of money, and their faces are almost smiling.
As the saying goes, a few families are happy and a few are sad.
The mid-level fishermen who caught the deep-sea electric eels and sold them at cheap prices in the trading houses were almost all so angry that they wanted to jump into the sea.
It's as if in reality, they've just sold all the stocks in the stock market, and soon after that the price of those stocks has skyrocketed.
From 1x to 2x, then to 10x, then 20x!
In the end, the stock rose 100 times.
Moreover, the price of the stock is still very strong, and there is no sign of a weak follow-up.
This feeling of missing out on countless gold coins really made them want to go crazy in frustration.
However, compared to these mid-level fishermen who were about to go crazy, Fang Xuan felt that he was the saddest one.
Because, when he removed the yellowed paper on the door of the wooden house and fed a deep-sea eel to the masked dwarf weirdo who came out inside, he received an opportunity that he could not refuse.
-
The masked freak's request
【Serendibility】
Requirements: You must provide me with 99 deep-sea electric eels (rare) within half a year.
Reward: Unknown
Penalties: Drop level 99 at your current level. (If the level is not enough, it will fall directly back to level 0)
Countdown: 5 calendar months, 29 calendar days - 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds.
-
At that time, Fang Xuan's heart was almost broken.
99 deep-sea electric eels!
That's 4,950 gold coins!
With the one he fed earlier, it's 5,000 gold coins!
This made Fang Xuan, who didn't have 100 gold coins in his whole body, feel the malice of this game towards him again.
There was no way, in order not to fall off the level, Fang Xuan had to do it himself.
Early in the morning, he rushed to the bank of the Tonghai River in the town of Shining Gold, found the master angler - Matt Brown, and spent 10 silver coins to learn the fishing skills (apprenticeship).
Then, he spent 8 silver coins and 11 bronze coins to grab the [Enhanced Fishing Rod] (bronze), which was limited to one per day;
For 2 silver and 25 copper coins, you can buy a daily limited [Underwater Fish Trap] (bronze).
A [Bamboo Cage Fish Basket] (Bronze) that can hold 100 fish per day costs 1 gold coin.
1000 bait - Nightworm (common) for 9 gold.
1 Rain Hat (Bronze), 1 Gold Coins.
A full-length robe (bronze), 2 gold coins.
Then, Fang Xuan held his mouth and reluctantly started the fishing activities that middle-aged and elderly people love in advance.
Duration, four months.
During this period, Fang Xuan first trained the fishing level to level 100.
After taking on an advanced task to kill ordinary monsters, he bought a copy of the "Beginner Fishing Guide" (bronze) for 1 gold coin, and promoted the trainee angler to a beginner angler.
Continue fishing and get to level 200.
After completing a quest to kill the Elite Monsters, spend 10 gold again and buy an Intermediate Fishing Instruction (Silver) from Master Angler Mart Brown, to advance to the Intermediate Angler.
Of course, he also handed over all the fish he caught to his loving master, Yishui Zilin.
After that, Fang Xuan went to the living area to find a familiar engineer friend.
For 50 gold, I ordered a special white-sailed fishing boat (bronze).
He brought a few pots of fish soup cooked for him by his loving master, a few bags of fried small dried fish, and hundreds of whole fish products such as steamed fish, braised fish, boiled fish, and fish sushi as a reserve drink and food.
Go out to sea and go fishing.
After Fang Xuan experienced the storm, tsunami, sharks, and water monsters several times, he finally caught 104 deep-sea electric eels when he went out to sea for a hundred days.
When he was bored, he also regretted the year he missed.
Fortunately, he caught up in this life.
In order not to leave any regrets.
This time, Fang Xuan swept away all the deep-sea electric eels that were less than 1 gold coin in the trading house in one go.
