Chapter 17 Welcome to the Elf World
[Good fishing rod: A very good fishing rod; it's said to increase the chances of catching fish.]
Surf: A Water-type move that allows Pokémon to move quickly across water. It is even more powerful when attacking targets in the water!
Yun Che expressed his understanding regarding the reward of a good fishing rod.
A worker must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do well.
He hasn't caught a fish yet, it must be because of the fishing rod!
But when it comes to surfing, the image of him riding across the river with one foot in the air always comes to mind.
"Chirp, chirp?" Kong Kong took two steps back warily.
What's with that look? What are you laughing at? It's creepy...
"Ahem." Yun Che coughed lightly. "It's nothing."
He had even considered trying to fish with energy cubes, but a sudden system notification woke him up.
"Come here, Kongkong." Yun Che put down his fishing rod and beckoned.
The little guy hesitated for a moment before crawling closer.
She was hugged by Yun Che.
"Come on, Kongkong, spin silk."
Snap—
A fishing line with a hook and bait was released.
Yun Che smiled.
Try a different fishing rod. If that doesn't work, let Kongkong spit out a net. We're sure to come back empty-handed today!
Ok?
Kongkong suddenly paused, then realized what was happening...
Am I being used as a fishing rod?
How did I become a fishing rod?!
Faced with the "resentful" gaze that Kongkong cast at him, Yun Che gently patted its head.
"Focus, you need to focus when fishing..."
Kongkong: "..."
next second.
The thread suddenly tightened!
Yun Che and Kong Kong's expressions changed simultaneously. One picked up the little guy and pulled him upwards, while the other bit the thread tightly and refused to let go.
But quickly, the joy on Yun Che's face turned into astonishment, and he immediately said:
"Disconnected!"
hum-
The taut thread broke.
However, this behavior still angered the other party.
Then I saw it.
A supernatural creature, about the size of a basketball, with a blackish-gray body and an appearance resembling a sea cockroach covered in layers of carapace, and possessing ten pairs of legs and white silk threads stuck to its head, slowly crawled out of the water.
"Black beetles?"
A water-attribute extraordinary creature, racial level: intermediate extraordinary!
"Chirp~" Kongkong glanced at the black-shelled beetle crawling out of the water, then looked at Yun Che.
Hey! Ah Che, you caught a worm!
Yun Che: "..."
I was slightly speechless, but also a little confused.
Black-shelled insects are indeed an extraordinary creature that inhabits the Huai River, but these insects prefer shade and cold, and most of the time they linger in the deep mud at the bottom of the river.
However, at this moment, the system's judgment came.
[Complete the hidden mission: Never miss an opportunity!]
[Rewards: 1 Good Fishing Rod, HM Skill "Surfing"]
So this counts as completing the task, right?
But without giving Yun Che more time to complain, the black beetle that climbed ashore wasn't in a very good mood.
"Sizzle!!"
Its shell trembled, and it made a harsh, grating sound from its mouth.
"Empty." Yun Che called out softly.
"Chirp!" Kongkong also realized the Black Beetle's attitude, grinned, and got into a fighting stance.
At the same time, Yun Che didn't forget to remind her, "The Black Shell Bug in the late stage of mutation."
Kongkong wasn't afraid at all; it wasn't like he hadn't fought insects in the late stages of mutation before.
Although the short-winged locust's racial level is low-level transcendent, while the black-shelled beetle in front of them is mid-level transcendent, but...
"Spit silk!" Seeing that the black beetle was about to lose its temper, Yun Che chose to take the initiative.
Snap—
The snow-white threads shot out, and the black beetle was stuck to its feet before it could even react.
As the black beetle struggled to break free from the annoying silk threads that suddenly appeared, Kong Kong had already closed in on it.
"Tsk?" The black beetle was startled and instinctively curled up, like a black ball.
"Chirp~"
Kongkong smiled and waved to it, then tucked its tail out.
boom--
Just like playing golf, the black beetle, shrunken into a ball, flew straight out, drawing an arc in the air, and finally "plop" fell into the water.
Kongkong clapped its paws.
Get it!
It seems that ordinary late-stage mutated superhuman creatures are no longer much of a threat to Kong Kong... Yun Che thought to himself as he watched this scene.
Even just based on physical attributes, in terms of "numerical values," ordinary late-stage mutated superhuman creatures probably couldn't beat this little guy.
If given enough time to stack Dragon Dance, I wonder what it would do against opponents of lower-level transcendent strength...
"Chirp!" Kongkong crawled up to him as if to take credit.
Yun Che smiled slightly and fed it an energy cube.
Look towards the system space.
Try using the Surfing Secret Learning Machine.
"really."
Failed to use.
Not surprising.
Judging from her current empty-handed state, she doesn't seem like someone who could learn to swim at all...
But since it's a dragon, surely it can one day?
Riding a dragon across the water... that day is definitely worth looking forward to.
Then he took out a "good fishing rod".
To outsiders, it's just an ordinary fishing rod, but holding it, Yun Che felt... "I can do it!"
However, considering that he had inexplicably caught a black beetle, and that he had had enough time to rest, he temporarily gave up the idea of continuing to fish.
Anyway...
We don't have an air force!
"Training session, empty-handed."
This time, Yun Che used green-quality master seeds.
As for the training skill, it's an intermediate-level skill: Dragon Tail!
However, the cooldown time for green-quality Mastery Seeds is eight hours, and this cooldown time is the same as that for white-quality Mastery Seeds.
But he also became certain of one thing.
Once you reach the proficiency level in an intermediate skill, you'll need green-quality mastery seeds to improve it even faster!
...
Three more days passed.
Blue River Cultivation Base.
After changing into work clothes and pushing the "food cart," they prepared to feed the axolotls.
This was his second day at work. After a day of getting familiar with the job, he had a general idea of his tasks.
This includes, but is not limited to, feeding, cleaning the feeding area, and keeping simple records.
At the same time, Yun Che also learned that due to the recent continuous sunny days, environmental changes had occurred, causing many of the pets in the breeding base to change their temperament, resulting in a severe shortage of manpower.
So if he's willing to work overtime... he gets double pay!
We walked into the damp woodland of the axolotl.
Ok?
From a distance, Yun Che paused.
"Chirp?" Kongkong poked its head out from Yun Che's collar.
What's up?
In the axolotl enclosure, there was a middle-aged man, about forty years old, wearing a white lab coat and shorts, who was a little overweight or rather, a bit chubby.
This wasn't the first time Yun Che had encountered him; he had met him once before yesterday, except yesterday it was in the Boiling Blood Crocodile's enclosure.
Moreover, he looked rather disheveled today.
Because he is running away.
A hexagonal newt was chasing him from behind.
The middle-aged man was panting heavily, covered in sweat, and still shouting...
"Is anyone there?! Can anyone help?"
Upon seeing this, Yun Che immediately ran over and gave instructions:
"Kongkong, spin silk!"
at the same time.
