Chapter 981: Chapter 979: Profitable Gains (Fourth Update)
Rao was the guide, and it was the first time he saw the fish beneath the Rebirth River, something he had never seen before.
Chu Hao asked, "Is this fish special?"
The guide nodded, saying, "It’s said that eating the fish eggs from the Rebirth River can open your eyes to see things you normally wouldn’t be able to see."
Li Yin asked, "If we eat it, can we see the things on the boat?"
The guide nodded slightly, saying, "Not only that, but you can see many things, though I’m not quite sure about the details."
Then the guide exclaimed in astonishment, "What are you doing?"
Chu Hao somehow had a fishing rod in his hand and said, "Fishing, of course!"
Damn it!
You actually have a fishing rod on you!
This fishing rod was certainly not an ordinary one. Chu Hao consulted the System, which recommended this rod for purchase.
Golden Fishing Rod.
It requires thirty thousand Pretentiousness Points.
Chu Hao cast his rod and quietly waited, with an attitude of leisure, completely unlike someone eager to leave the Rebirth Realm.
The guide was curious and walked over to ask, "What’s your bait?"
Chu Hao glanced at the rod’s description and replied without turning, "Moth-eyed Worm bait, just ordinary stuff."
The guide: "..."
"Ding... Host’s endless show-off is most lethal, gaining 9000 Pretentiousness Points."
The guide felt like vomiting blood. Moth-eyed Worm as bait was just ordinary.
The guide knew very well what a Moth-eyed Worm was — a very rare insect, with only one place in the entire Yin Realm having them, at the edge of the Great Netherworld, and it’s hard to come across even one in a hundred years.
Chu Hao saying it’s ordinary is simply too discouraging for the guide.
After a while, Li Yin exclaimed excitedly, "It’s hooked."
Chu Hao was delighted, pulling hard on the rod and promptly hauling a big fish from the water.
This fish, pitch black and a full two meters long, with long fish whiskers, looked very elegant overall.
The big fish fell onto the small boat, and Chu Hao immediately smashed it with the Ritian Stick, killing it instantly.
"Ding... Discovered ancient fish species of Rebirth River, Nether-eyed Fish, can be exchanged for fifty thousand Pretentiousness Points."
Chu Hao was pleased; this thing’s worth of fifty thousand Pretentiousness Points was quite good.
"Exchange."
"Ding... Host exchanged Nether-eyed Fish, gaining fifty thousand Pretentiousness Points."
The big fish disappeared before the guide could even observe what kind of fish it was.
"Where did it go?" the guide speculated, thinking surely it was Chu Hao’s doing.
Feeling delightful, Chu Hao purchased more bait.
"Ding... Host purchased Golden Bait, consuming ten thousand Pretentiousness Points."
He cast out the rod and continued fishing.
After more than ten minutes, another big fish was brought up, this time slightly smaller than the last, only redeemed for thirty thousand Pretentiousness Points.
With a rare opportunity and about to leave the Rebirth Realm, Chu Hao decided to buy the best bait.
System, purchase Diamond Bait.
"Ding... Host purchased Diamond Bait, consuming fifty thousand Pretentiousness Points."
Item: Diamond Bait
Effect: Extremely effective, has a lethal attraction to creatures within the Rebirth River.
Chu Hao took out the bait, and the guide, initially shocked and numbed, rushed over again exclaiming, "What kind of bait is this?"
Li Yin was also curious, wondering why a bait would make the guide so excited.
Chu Hao said indifferently, "It’s meat slices of a Hell Nether Dragon Cub, don’t be so surprised, you’re a ghost who’ve seen the world."
"Ding... Host successfully showed off, impressing the guide, gaining 9000 Pretentiousness Points."
The guide was about to collapse.
Hell Nether Dragon Cub meat slices?
Chu Hao actually has this stuff.
The guide was unsettled; from Chu Hao’s tone, he seemed not to care about what kind of bait it was and even mocked him.
Chu Hao cast the rod.
Li Yin asked, "What was that bait?"
The guide sighed deeply, saying, "People really get infuriated when compared. No wonder he entered the Hell Gate unharmed; this guy is unfathomable."
"Never mind how rare the Nether Dragon is, nearly extinct since ancient times, only living on the Netherworld Continent, nowhere else."
"Moreover, getting a cub from beside an adult Nether Dragon is impossible for even a King Level figure, let alone use it wastefully as bait."
The guide grew more speechless as he spoke.
Hearing this from behind, Chu Hao was shocked about the bait’s background.
But then again, who is the King of Show-offs?
"In the eyes of mortals, they always stay in the present. To me, this thing right now is... just, bait." Chu Hao said.
"Ding... Host displayed audacious show-off, gained 9000 Pretentiousness Points."
The guide almost spat blood, so frustrating.
Finally, the water beneath shook vigorously, Chu Hao felt extreme joy, pulling sharply.
His arm strength was formidable; upon pulling, the deep water rippled violently, and a giant beast emerged from the surface.
It was enormous, a colossal six meters.
System prompt: "Discovered Giant Nether Fish, hunt exchangeable for one hundred fifty thousand Pretentiousness Points."
One hundred fifty thousand Pretentiousness Points?
Chu Hao heard this and his eyes turned red.
The Endless Sword wildly appeared, attacking the Giant Nether Fish.
Who would have thought that the incredibly sharp Endless Sword, when slashing the fish scales of the Giant Nether Fish, emitted a burst of sparks?
This large fish was still unharmed.
The fish fell into the water, swam to the depths, while the fishing line stretched further.
Chu Hao gritted his teeth, unleashing all his strength.
"Rise!"
He pulled the Giant Nether Fish from the water again.
Colossal Divine Soldier.
Chu Hao shouted, the Colossal Divine Soldier appeared, slapping hard at the Giant Nether Fish.
The Giant Nether Fish was unaffected, just shook a bit.
The guide exclaimed from the side, "Quick, use the Reincarnation Blade."
Upon hearing, Chu Hao drew the Reincarnation Blade, leapt fiercely, and slashed.
Hard scales could not withstand the Reincarnation Blade’s slash. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Especially, the wound of the Giant Nether Fish was wrapped in gray matter.
"Ding... Successful hunt, will you exchange?"
"Exchange."
"Ding... Exchanged Giant Nether Fish, Host gains one hundred fifty thousand Pretentiousness Points."
Impressive, spending fifty thousand Pretentiousness Points yielded a profit of one hundred thousand Pretentiousness Points.
Before Chu Hao could flaunt his success, the guide urgently said, "Nobody move, we’re about to leave the Rebirth Realm."
The little boat suddenly accelerated, the surrounding scene changed, and the guide bit his finger, drawing inscriptions on the white paper lantern.
"Ming Leader Guides."
The guide used vital blood to reveal the final path, only his blood could accomplish it.
The gray mist rapidly retreated flowing backward; whether the boat was accelerating or the scene, it was extremely fast.
Finally, a light appeared ahead.
The gray mist disappeared, and they found themselves on the vast sea.
The sea breeze was so clear, a familiar feeling welled up inside.
Yang Realm, they finally returned.
Li Yin shed tears.
