Chapter 1231 The Innate Fishing Holy Body, the Upper Half Vibrates!
After carefully studying the tricks of the Spirit Fish Lake, he bought the cheapest wooden fishing rod.
Su Mo was shocked to find that he had underestimated the difficulty of the one-star in the main competition.
Or in other words, the operation of each terrain has a set of underlying rules, and it is impossible for everyone to make a profit easily.
At first glance, this Spirit Fish Lake looks like a terrain that gives benefits. Merchants can recycle spirit fish without limit, and two of the three challenge tasks can be completed repeatedly.
But when analyzing the underlying logic of this operation, there is a key problem that
the fishing rod actually has durability!
[Crude wooden fishing rod (level 1)]
[Description]: A fishing rod that can be used for fishing in a micro (level 1) lake, with no special effects
[Durability]: 15/15 (consumes 1 point per hour)
[Maintenance price]: 20 points/per durability
"Isn't this equivalent to opening a reservoir and charging here?"
There are too many complaints, and I don't know where to start.
If you choose to fish in the Spirit Fish Lake, even the smallest level 1 lake will charge 20 points per hour.
If you don't catch anything from the lake during this hour, it will be a naked loss!
Not only will you waste time, but you will also get fewer and fewer points in the end.
And if you buy fishing rods with special properties, you will have to pay even more.
It is very likely that the fishing rod with a higher fishing probability will cost 50 per hour, or even more.
"The price is really expensive. Let's see if this spiritual fish is easy to catch first."
The so-called micro lakes naturally refer to those lakes with an area similar to that of a pond.
Looking down in the moonlight, there are obviously fewer spiritual fish than in the lake where water was just drawn.
The only thing that makes people feel a little relieved is that these spiritual fish are not afraid of people.
Some of the brave ones saw Su Mo coming and even jumped out of the water as if to provoke him.
"If you can get into the water, you can catch them all!"
Holding a wooden fishing rod worth 500 points, he bought a 10-point bait that can be used nearly 50 times, and a 5-point fish guard.
Su Mo sat in front of the so-called micro lake and cast the rod.
Since the former is expensive, the latter two seem to be much cheaper.
But in reality, it is still a considerable expense.
In less than an hour, the bait was eaten up by the greedy spirit fish.
And there were only two spirit fish caught!
[Purple Mist Fish (Level 1): Delicious spirit fish, no special attribute gain; recycling price: 20]
[Ice Edge Fish (Level 1): Delicious spirit fish, after eating, it increases a certain degree of cold resistance, and the body flexibility is slightly improved in a short period of time. Recycling price: 35]
A total of 55 points were earned from two spirit fish.
Excluding the 20 points of fishing rod durability and 10 points of bait spent, the income was 25 points.
If you can fish for 10-12 hours a day, the income should be over 200 points.
"This is about the same as the income of Giant Plains, much less than that of Beast Mountain."
The daily quarrying task in Rolling Stone Canyon is 100 points, and it doubles to 200 points in Giant Plains.
The improvement of the Beast Mountain was even greater, reaching a full 500 points.
Unexpectedly, the income would decrease a lot if I took another step forward.
Of course, this is also related to personal ability.
Perhaps it would be easy to let those innate fishing saints, or some water monkeys come here to make a thousand points a day.
"No more fishing, this is too tiring."
Maybe he could still compete with these contestants in other aspects, but fishing is really not within the scope of business ability.
Putting away the fishing rod, Su Mo picked up the two spirit fish and walked back.
It is impossible to recycle them. I have been eating tasteless rice and oil cakes for many days.
It is not easy to find delicious meat for a snack. Let alone dozens of points, even hundreds of points Su Mo is willing to spend to taste it.
However, just before leaving, I don’t know why, Su Mo suddenly called out the system and did an appraisal upgrade on the wooden fishing rod in his hand.
The Spirit Fish Lake does not allow players to make their own fishing rods to fish here. Only fishing rods produced by merchants can be used.
But what if the wooden fishing rod produced by the merchant can be upgraded? Is it still within this restriction?
The green light shot out quickly, bringing back a clear panel.
After just one glance, Su Mo paused in his steps, and a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face.
[Crude wooden fishing rod (level 1)]
[Description]: A fishing rod with some restrictions that can be used in a specific area
[Durability]: 14/15
[Upgrade route 1: Upgrade level (upgrade the restriction level and use it in advanced areas)]
1→2, upgrade consumable survival points: 8
2→3, upgrade consumable survival points: 18
3→4
[Upgrade route 2: Fishing rod enhancement (by enhancing the fishing rod, improve its fishing success rate, the chance of catching big fish, and the attraction to special fish species)]
1→2, upgrade consumable survival points: 16
2→3, upgrade
[Upgrade route 3: Fishing rod upgrade (upgrade the fishing rod in a specific way, such as: platform fishing rod, stream rod, sea rod, lure rod, etc.)]
Wooden fishing rod → platform fishing rod, upgrade consumable survival points: 18
Wood
[Upgrade route 4: Fishing rod transformation (transform the fishing rod into other types of fishing gear)]
Wooden fishing rod → harpoon, upgrade consumes survival points: 150
Wooden fishing rod → fishing arrow, upgrade consumes survival points: 370
Wooden fishing rod → fish trap
Wooden fishing rod → small fishing net, upgrade consumes survival points: 1060
"No way, can this really upgrade the wooden fishing rod into a fishing net that complies with the rules of the Spirit Fish Lake?"
Su Mo's eyes widened, and he was outrageous in his heart.
The efficiency of fishing rods and fishing nets in this Spirit Fish Lake is more than ten times or a hundred times worse.
The spirit fish here are not afraid of people at all. When they see the bait coming down, it's like Chinese New Year.
If they are not so cunning that they only eat the bait and don't take the bait, they can't catch twenty fish in an hour.
Now as long as they can upgrade the fishing net
Tsk tsk, Su Mo just feels that he has found another way to make a fortune.
It's a pity that other people can't copy this way, and he can only operate it by himself.
No, it's not all like that.
If the upgrade price of the fishing net can be reduced a little, maybe it won't be a problem to have two more.
"It took me half a year to save up 5430 item survival points and 3205 special survival points before I came here."
"I thought I could easily survive this competition, but now it seems that it is still too little."
Su Mo thought secretly, and couldn't help but sigh that no matter how many survival points there are, they can't withstand continuous spending.
I upgraded the water generator, bought some materials, upgraded the sand board, and spent a lot of money.
As well as an off-road vehicle, an off-road motorcycle and a heavy crossbow.
Now most of the item survival points have been spent, leaving only 1660 points.
Including special survival points, at most four fishing nets can be upgraded.
Considering that the Spirit Fish Lake is only the fifth terrain, there are three more terrains and the finals to be used.
Even if you try hard, you can only upgrade one fishing net.
However.
"With this fishing net, I can also deserve the title of 'Innate Fishing Saint'!"
Su Mo is extremely satisfied, and the unpleasant feeling that the fresh water and food business is about to end has disappeared.
And there was a guess waiting for him to verify.
"I choose to use this epic sales order!"
Handed the sales order that the armored Tyrannosaurus just exploded to the merchant in Lingyu Lake.
When the other party handed it over, there were already goods on it.
As expected, the merchants in Lingyu Lake did not sell any other kinds of items, only various tools related to fishing.
"Is the highest level of fishing rod only six?"
Seeing the epic fishing rod with a price of 70,000 points, Su Mo hesitated for a moment and bought it.
At this time, the system scan was used again, and the price in the upgrade panel suddenly dropped a lot.
The epic level six fishing rod only needs 620 points to upgrade to a small fishing net, which is 440 points cheaper.
In addition, Su Mo spent another 20,000 points to buy a wooden fishing boat that can travel on Lingyu Lake, and bait worth 7,000 points.
Points are really not worth spending.
Ordinary contestants who enter the main competition may not be able to save nearly 100,000 points to buy this set of equipment even if they work hard within 30 days.
Although he knew that this was the premise for making a lot of money in the Lingyu Lake, Su Mo still felt a little distressed.
"Now that I have the equipment, I'll catch a lot of fish tonight before others come."
After upgrading the fishing net fiercely, Su Mo dragged the boat to the lake where he had just held water.
You're not afraid of people, right?
Are you provoking me?
You like to run away after eating the bait, right?
Setting the goal at 500 kilograms, Su Mo jumped onto the boat with a plop.
In the hazy night, under the gaze of hundreds of millions of viewers.
An absolutely exaggerated "fishing" that is enough to be written into the annals of the wasteland officially kicked off!
"Fuck you, give me your money back!"
"Come out, you bastard. Where are the first few clearances you promised?"
"We've already reached the Beast Mountain, and you're still fooling us with the Canyon, right?"
"Get out, get out! Give us back our points!"
"Horse Face is dying, you must compensate us for the well this time, otherwise I'll get out and kill you with my men!"
""
The lower half was calm, and all the contestants who arrived at the Giant Plains were tired and happy.
But the upper half was in chaos because of the sudden opening of the leaderboard.
Horse Face Dalton's straw hut
No, it should be said that the straw hut of the Mist Island Alliance was already surrounded by people.
A large number of survivors gathered here, denouncing each other fiercely.
Some of them were people who paid points in advance and reserved places to pass the Rolling Stone Canyon.
These people shouted the most fiercely. If they were not protected by the rules of the official competition, they would definitely want to rush into the straw hut and tear Horse Face apart.
After all, they were still excited at noon, because they could clear the Rolling Stone Canyon ahead of everyone else and seize the opportunity.
But in the evening, they received bad news that was like being struck by lightning.
First, the ranking list of the Beast Mountain was opened, revealing several extremely important news.
The beast corresponding to 100,000 points had been killed by Su Mo. Regardless of the difficulty, this huge amount of money was simply too scary.
Then the progress of the lower half of the area, a few hours later, dozens of names appeared on the ranking list.
So many people have passed the canyon, the plain, and reached the terrain behind?
Those who bought the quota exploded on the spot.
After a while, when Horse-faced Dalton came back, the news he brought was even more explosive.
Now, if you pass the level, you can only rank over 600.
"It's all because of Dalton in the upper half, and it's all because of those beasts from the Mist Island Alliance that delayed our progress. It's possible that the humans in the lower half have already united!"
"Well said, these dog profiteers always try to take points out of our pockets. Now, the quota for these over 600 people to pass the level will cost thousands of points."
"I hate it. I wish I could quit now and take people to clean up the beasts from the Mist Island Alliance!"
The people who watch the excitement don't mind the trouble. Some big mouths keep running around in the team and shouting, trying to make the scene more chaotic, and then find ways to profit from it.
It's a pity that the contestants who come in are all players who stand at the top of the human race after all.
Although they shouted fiercely, no one really took action.
More than ten minutes passed, and Horse-faced Dalton, who stayed in the straw shed, finally couldn't sit still and walked out.
There is no way, some people are just bluffing, and some people are really capable.
Their Wuyu Alliance is near the Golden Giant Eagle Territory, so the monk can run away but the temple cannot.
Not to mention that among the people who were offended, there were people from the Golden Giant Eagle, which was really bad luck!
"Everyone, I didn't know that the Giant Plain would be like this before I passed the level. It was only after I passed the level that I realized that I was ranked more than 600, not in the top as I imagined." Dalton kept explaining sincerely, but few people paid the bill.
"You charge your fee without knowing the situation. I can't wait to give you a knife now."
"That's right, why didn't you look like a villain in the afternoon? Why are you barking like a dog now?"
"Return the money and compensate, otherwise I will bring people to you when I go out."
""
Several people who bought the quota nearby spoke in a bad tone, and their eyes flashed with undisguised murderous intent.
Malton knew that these people were not angry with him because they sold high-priced quotas.
They are all people from large territories, so they still have some self-restraint and patience.
The reason they were really angry, or the reason they looked angry now.
The reason was that the gap between the upper and lower zones was too big!
There were only a few people in the upper zone who had passed the level so far, and the off-road motorcycle could only carry dozens of people at most.
But there were more than 600 people in the lower zone.
All of them should have passed the canyon and reached the terrain further back.
This was outrageous.
The difference in the speed of passing the level was so exaggerated, not to mention the speed of earning points.
Many people speculated that the human contestants in the lower zone might not worry about food and water at all.
One day's income could meet all the material needs during the race.
And what if they passed the canyon, and what if they reached the giant plain?
The beast mountain was still a long way off.
"Okay, I'll take responsibility for my own actions. I'll refund all points to those who bought quotas, and I'll give them an extra 200, no, 300 points!"
"300? You're sending away beggars?"
"Yes, at least 800."
"800 is not enough, 1,000!"
When the people who were there to join in the fun heard that the horse-faced Dalton had given in, they immediately lost most of their interest.
Only some people who bought quotas were left to bid randomly, trying to get as much compensation as possible.
Standing on the periphery and watching the whole process, the old Taoist and the male gun brother looked at each other, and they could see the confusion on each other's faces.
In the afternoon, Dalton was still in high spirits, but he didn't expect that he would become the target of everyone's shouting in just a few hours.
When this wave of compensation is completed, I'm afraid the fate of the Wuyu Alliance will be over.
"Now so many people are planning to walk to the lower half of the area, do you think we should follow?"
Back in the straw hut, I saw many people packing their bags and preparing to set off.
The old Taoist's eyes flickered, and he was also a little moved.
For ordinary contestants, passing the canyon is not a question of whether it is difficult or not, but a question of whether they can do it.
If they stay in the upper half and wait until the end of the main competition, they may not have the opportunity to go to the later terrain.
But if they set off for the lower half, it is equivalent to changing the conditions for passing the canyon.
Crossing the canyon has become a 600-kilometer hike.
With the experience of hiking in the desert a few days ago, more and more people are naturally interested.
In their opinion, it only takes five or six days to reach the lower half.
There will be half a month left, and there may be a chance to catch up with the first movers!
