"Two silver salmon together weigh over a dozen kilograms!"
He glanced over at Blom and asked, "Blom, how are the catches?"
Blom shouted loudly, "Lord, rest assured! I've made a bountiful haul here, caught three silver salmon!"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Cao Xing's lips.
According to Blom, this was indeed a bountiful harvest!
The silver salmon in his hands alone, according to market price, were worth at least sixty to seventy thousand Ice Dragon Marks.
With the materials he had in reserve, he could exchange them for a golden treasure box.
"That's really nice."
Cao Xing thought with glee.
He then glanced at his backpack.
Besides the green quality [special pet food], he also had five blue quality pet food.
"Higher quality food should theoretically be more enticing to fish!"
"Let's see if this stuff brings any surprises!"
Cao Xing attached the first piece of blue pet food to the hook and slowly lowered it beneath the water's surface.
This time, after just a minute, Cao Xing felt a tremendous force on the fishing rod in his hands!
The sudden force even pulled Cao Xing half a step forward.
Cao Xing got serious and began patiently wrestling with the creature underwater!
After a stalemate of about three minutes, when the underwater creature lost its strength, he seized the opportunity.
Then a shimmering, silver-glowing silver salmon was reeled in by Cao Xing.
And this salmon was as long as Cao Xing's arm, the largest salmon he'd caught!
[Obtained: Silver Salmon (Purple) *1]
He glanced at the attributes.
[Silver Salmon (Purple): Magic Creature]
[Weight: 13.8 kilograms]
[Effect: Same as above]
(Note: The flesh of the silver salmon is extremely tender and can be broken down into 13 pieces of silver salmon meat, where 1 piece equals 5 food units)
"Haha! A silver salmon almost 14 kilograms! I could brag about this for a year on Blue Star!"
Cao Xing's eyes gleamed with excitement.
To him, these weren't just silver salmon; they were real gold that could be exchanged for various resources!
The effect of the blue bait was clearly better than the green one.
He continued fishing.
One by one, larger creatures in variegated colors than before were reeled in by Cao Xing!
System prompts appeared continuously.
[Obtained: Red Salmon (Blue) *1]
[Obtained: Flying Fish (Blue) *1]
[Obtained: Silver Salmon (Purple) *1]
[Obtained: Red Salmon (Blue) *1]
After about half an hour, the five pieces of blue quality pet food were all used up!
The harvest was indeed bountiful.
Blom approached, his face beaming.
It was clear he too had gained much.
"Haha! Lord, Blom caught five silver salmon this time!"
Cao Xing listened, joy showing on his face, "Well done, Blom!"
With that, he collected all of Blom's catch.
[Obtained: Green Cod (Green) *6]
[Obtained: Yellow Flower Fish (Green) *3]
[Obtained: Nailhead Fish (Green) *4]
[Obtained: Flying Fish (Blue) *2]
[Obtained: Red Salmon (Blue) *3]
[Obtained: Silver Salmon (Purple) *5]
Excluding the green and blue quality fish, the silver salmon alone, when added to Cao Xing's four, weighed over 64 kilograms in total!
That meant the silver salmon, valued at nearly 120,000 Ice Dragon Marks, could easily be exchanged for a golden treasure box.
In this instance, including travel time, Cao Xing had spent less than three hours.
He exclaimed excitedly, "This wave was truly profitable!"
"Compared with the tens of thousands of crowns invested in purchasing pet food, selling just two silver salmon casually might exceed that amount."
"Among the current survivors, I'm probably the only one who knows the special pet food is highly alluring to fish."
"And this fishing spot in Snow Fall Lake hasn't been discovered by other survivors."
"To me, this is a massive resource point!"
Thinking of this, Cao Xing secretly decided.
Next time, if he encountered a merchant selling pet food, he'd buy out all their stock.
This was a guaranteed profitable business.
"However, it's a pity that didn't catch a golden salmon this time."
Cao Xing felt a bit of regret.
But on second thought, this was normal.
After all, the fishing rod in his hand was just of purple grade, incapable of catching a golden salmon-level creature.
Then, he glanced at his backpack again.
Inside were five boss-level Snow Demon tongues and one leader-level tongue.
Cao Xing thought to himself, "The tongue of the Snow Demon should serve as a more advanced bait or a highly stimulating item, enough to catch magic creatures of the golden salmon's level."
"But the problem is that the fishing rod I have is not high enough in level, so it'll likely just reel in fish of the silver salmon's level."
He looked over at an old man fishing in the distance, contemplation in his eyes.
"Should I ask Chino to lend me his fishing rod?"
After pondering for a moment, Cao Xing decided to go.
After all, he had already established a good relationship with this powerful person, and merely borrowing a fishing rod should not be refused.
He brought some people over to Chino's side.
The elder had also finished fishing.
Cao Xing asked with a smile, "Chino, how was your haul?"
Chino's face was also lit with joy, "Not bad, caught two silver salmon."
"Lord Cao Xing, I'll share one with you."
