Chapter 13: The Wisher Takes the Bait
Just as Rosen expected, after walking for about half an hour, killing dozens of monsters, and raising his level to level 3, he walked into a valley and saw two raging flames, as well as the Conqueror Guardian standing next to him.
After a brief cross-examination and examination, Rosen was finally allowed to enter the valley.
After walking up the winding steps for another ten minutes, he entered a huge camp built in a mountain clearing.
There are not only many people who have taken refuge here, but also many powerful conqueror guards and merchants who run many professions.
The most striking thing is not the people, but a few large and small cyan crystals suspended above the central square of the settlement.
When he saw this hedron, Rosen thought of the small ember stone he had just gotten.
It's just that these hedrons are too high, and there are people around him staring at them, he really doesn't dare to check whether these hedrons are really embers, so he can only look at them twice and then shift his gaze to the square below.
There is a spring near the square, and a bottomless pond accumulates around the square, where not only lotus flowers grow, but also many different species of fish with special effects.
Hence the so-called fishing spots.
In the game, as long as you are patient, you can catch a steady stream of fish here.
Although these fish cannot be eaten on their own, they can be used to feed pets, and each fish has its own different effects.
But now Lawson found that the fishing spots here are not free and open, and if you want to fish, you must first buy a fishing rod, which is not expensive, the most common is only 100 gold coins, and the higher quality price is enough to make him crazy.
Of course, it is said that a high-quality rod can not only catch fish, but also catch something unexpected.
It sounded too mysterious, and Rosen was a little skeptical.
The old man who sells the fish tank is named Tamor, dressed in a yellow robe, with a yellow hat on his head, and his beard is white.
Because he didn't need it for the time being, Lawson didn't ask him how to reset his skill points, but judging from his ruthless desire to sell fishing rods, it must have cost no less.
Speaking of fishing rods alone, the most common ones are naturally used for fishing, and they do not have any special effects.
"A normal fishing rod with a durability of 20/20 can only be used for fishing, and cannot be repaired after the durability is depleted."
When he got the rod in his hand, Lawson felt the urge to hit someone, which was equivalent to spending five gold coins for each opportunity.
This is not the most irritating for him, as he stood at the fishing spot and prepared to fish, the old man of Tamor said: "If you want to catch fish, you need some bait, believe me, no matter how fragrant the bait is, it will not attract those fish as much as gold coins." ”
"How much gold do you need for bait?" Rosen asked through gritted teeth.
"At least one at a time, more depends on your heart, only if you are sincere can you catch a big fish." "If you're lucky, you'll be able to catch something that's only known in legends." ”
Lawson rolled his eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to him, looked at the few gold coins left in his backpack, took one and threw it into the water, and then threw the hook down.
Originally, Rosen was full of confidence, but he soon realized that fishing was far more simple than just clicking on a game and getting a reward.
Although the hook moved not long after entering the water, indicating that a fish had been hooked, by the time Lawson lifted the rod, the harvest was empty.
This made Rosen look at the fishhook and be depressed.
"Trigger a new milestone mission: The Wisher takes the bait, and ten consecutive hooks into the water have no gains."
"After completing this milestone, there is a 50% chance of catching something else every time you miss while fishing. If you like to get some unexpected surprises, this milestone is definitely for you. ”
"Congratulations on triggering the new title quest: New Fisherman, catching at least five fish in a single fishing event will earn this title, and the current progress is 0/5."
"After wearing this title, you have a +15% chance of catching a fish while fishing."
"Congratulations on triggering the new title quest: Fish Lovers, catch no less than five fish of different species, and the current progress is 0/5."
"With this designation, you have a +20% chance of encountering a new species of fish while fishing, and a +3% chance of encountering a rare species."
As soon as Lawson saw these three tasks, his unhappiness was finally better, and he immediately began to repeat the process of throwing gold coins and fishing.
At first, it didn't go well, so much so that I caught five or six empty ones in a row. This made Rosen simply decide to simply break the jar and break it, and first complete the milestone and the wisher took the bait.
Although this milestone seems to be of average usefulness, in line with the principle that no matter how small a mosquito's leg is, it is still meat, Lawson still took it down.
By the time the milestone of the bait was completed, Lawson was much more serious when he fished next.
As the so-called hard work pays off, a fish was immediately hooked and dropped by him in one fell swoop, which made him happy.
"Jackal trout, after feeding it to your pet, you can transform into a jackal beast that can attack poisons for 5 points."
Lawson looked at the greenish and strange jackal trout in his backpack, and suddenly felt that all the gold coins he had put into the water seemed to be worth it.
Although Chacaron Wali's attack power is not bad, who wouldn't want their pets to have more diverse attacks and powerful attack power, and these fish with different uses are just enough for him.
Don't say anything, keep fishing. Rosen immediately became scrappy.
Whether it's for the fish or to complete the title task, Rosen really catches one rod after another, and throws more and more gold coins into it.
After another ten rods, Lawson ran out of durability of the ordinary fishing rod he had just bought, but his fishing addiction was strong, and he immediately bought a new one for gold coins.
After fishing for more than a dozen rods in a row, Lawson had to stop because he had run out of gold coins.
Although the catch was not bad, a total of 14 fish were caught, including 2 jackal trout, 3 war nose fish, 1 bone fish, 2 tunnel sharks, 4 spider net fish, 1 giant jackal trout, and 1 broad-billed trout.
Each of these fish has its own different effects, the most special of which is that the giant jackal trout can make the pet permanently turn into a jackal.
Of course, this permanence is not impossible to cancel, and the cost is that he needs to be fed another fish, and the effect of the new fish is used to offset the effect of permanently becoming a jackal.
In addition, the Warnose Fish can turn pets into high-damage battle beasts, the Bone Fish can turn pets into skeletons with armor-piercing abilities, the Tunnel Shark can turn pets into moles that can stun enemies, and the Broadbill Trout has a more peculiar effect and can turn pets into Mimics.
How to use these fish, Rosen has a lot of ideas in his mind, waiting for the opportunity to practice in the future.
But the most important thing for now is to get out of this place as soon as possible, because he finds it too expensive.
Stuffing a fishing rod with a durability of 7/20 into his backpack, Lawson didn't even bother to say hello to Tamor and left in a hurry to find the Grand Regent of the Esselian Settlement: Eldrin.
Rosen told him what Ed had told him to tell him, only to get the reply that he was too late, because the alchemist had already arrived.
Lawson is not surprised at all, because this is the original plot of the game. If he hadn't known this would happen, he wouldn't have fished slowly in the square.
But Aldrin's next words made his mind move.
"Many Ethiopians have been injured in the conflict, and some have developed a disease that we don't know is what caused it," Eldrin said. ”
"After the alchemist failed to attack us, he fled in the direction of the Southern Temple Meadows. Commander Vale and her amplitude of the soldier will arrive later. , and then they set out to pursue the alchemist, hoping to stop him from causing more damage. ”
At the same time, a mission completion screen appears, and Lawson can choose one of three green equipment: the ranged Gray and White Bow, the Savage Rat Shotgun, and the Savage Farmer Shotgun.
After thinking about it for a while, Lawson chose the long-range gray and white bow.
"Ranged Grey Bow, Enchanted Bow (both hands), 45 DPS, Faster Attack Speed (.88 seconds), Physical Damage: 32-45, +20 Knockback Ability, +1 meter Bow, Crossbow, Pistol and Wand Range, Requires Level 4 or Agility 24."
In addition to this, after completing the mission, Lawson also received 240 gold coins, 140 experience, 50 merit points, 30 reputation, and 1 skill point.
Although Lawson failed to upgrade after receiving this wave of experience, his shriveled pockets finally bulged, but he did not plan to go fishing again.
"The commander thinks that the alchemists will attack the Temple of Water, and then the Guardian of Water...... I don't know what kind of conspiracy he has, but we don't have any news of Wei'er now, and we don't know what the situation of the guardian beast is, let's go to the water source temple and see if the water guardian beast is in danger. ”
At this point, a corresponding quest prompt pops up, and a new hint appears in Lawson's field of vision.
"Congratulations on completing a main quest, and if you don't want to continue your adventure, you can leave this world at any time."
Rosen thought for a moment and decided to leave first, but before leaving, he said to Aldrin, "Honorable Lord Regent, I once had the experience of being a doctor, I wonder if I can go and see the injured people and try my best to relieve their pain." ”
"Absolutely." Aldrin agreed.
"Get the Hidden Quest: Clever Hands, as a doctor, how can you see death without saving it, it is your vocation to save the dead and help the wounded, this is the case in any world, treat more injured people, free them from pain, the higher the degree of completion, the more rewards you will get."
After seeing this quest prompt, Rosen was overjoyed, and chose to leave after saying goodbye to Aldrin and coming to the square.
Of course, he wants to save lives, but now his ability is not good, and he needs to improve his medical level again.
