Fishing Grandmaster Wolf (Please Bookmark and Follow)

Despite the scorching heat, Xu Yang remained sprawled motionlessly on the ground, like a corpse barely clinging to life, panting out hot breaths.

Time slowly passed. At last, the burning heat faded, and a coolness welled up from within his body.

Birdsong, floral fragrance—Xu Yang felt as though the world had become somehow different from before.

Host: Xu Yang

Race: Green-furred Wolf

Strength: Apprentice First Order

Resources: 0/3

Standing up, Xu Yang shook the dirt and weeds from his body. He was overjoyed; he could feel his physical qualities improving.

The skin on his claws was tougher than before. Though he had yet to verify the exact effect, he could feel that the defensive power of the skin across his body had at least doubled.

Tough and thick.

The tips of the fur on his body were no longer withered gray, but a vibrant emerald green brimming with life.

Damn! Green-furred Wolf? Doesn't that mean the hair on my head has turned green too?

Though he knew it was absurd to care about that in his current situation, Xu Yang could not stop worrying about it.

This strength is Apprentice First Order? Doesn't that mean there are Master First Order and Grandmaster First Order above me?

The system provided too little information. Xu Yang had no way to accurately judge his own strength and could only make a rough estimate. He left the patch of weeds, the pale green fur on his body gently stretching in the soft breeze from the lake.

Although Xu Yang lacked any cultivation knowledge from this world, he had at least received a higher education in his previous life and had undergone annual fitness tests in university. He knew that strength and speed could directly reflect a person's physical condition. The same applied to wolves.

Whoosh~~~

The instant his hind paws pushed off the ground, Xu Yang discovered that his speed had become terrifyingly fast.

Previously, his speed had probably been about the same as the commuter cars on city roads—forty or fifty kilometers per hour, sixty at most in a burst. But now, with one exertion of force, his body shot over twenty meters away. It reminded Xu Yang of the first time he drove onto the highway, when a single press of the accelerator sent him straight to 120 kilometers per hour.

When Xu Yang first drove at 120 kilometers per hour, he had been flustered and terrified. But when Xu Yang first ran at 120 kilometers per hour, his heart surged with excitement!

Doesn't that mean I can turn into FAW-Volkswagen anytime, anywhere?! I should count as extraordinary now, right? Even the fastest cheetah from my previous life probably wasn't faster than me.

For the first time, Xu Yang felt gratitude and anticipation toward the system. Though it was only a crude panel, its abilities were extraordinary!

In his previous life, whenever Xu Yang returned from delivering food, he would hastily finish his meal, lie down on his bed, and read novels. The frustrations of reality would find an outlet as he watched the protagonists dominate all directions. Whenever he saw a protagonist break through darkness and shatter their shackles, Xu Yang's heart would surge, and he would wish he could take their place. Whenever he saw a protagonist get humiliated and have all sorts of clowns jump in his face, Xu Yang would go rant in the author's comment section, then delete the book and block the author!

Damn it, I read novels to relax, not to be abused!

Those authors who torture their protagonists must be in their nineties, right?!

To hell with it! In this life, I'm going to turn my own life into a feel-good novel. Whoever bullies me, I'll beat them!

After three days in this world, Xu Yang had found a goal and a direction to strive toward.

Flowers bloomed, the mist dispersed, and after the rain came clear skies.

This other world was not so bad after all, was it?

After breaking through, Xu Yang felt as though he had endless energy.

Just then, a black carp swam to a spot three or four meters from the shore. With a burst of force from his hind legs, his entire body shot out, his instantaneous speed more than twice as fast as before!

"Splat!"

The black carp struggled for an instant beneath Xu Yang's sharp claws before becoming a corpse. Thinking about how he had previously needed to sink into the water and wait, while now he could directly pounce from the shore and kill his prey, Xu Yang could not help feeling a few points of pride. This improvement had taken effect immediately. If he encountered that Leopard from the other night again, he definitely would not flee in disarray!

Imagining himself smashing Leopard's brains out, Xu Yang grinned. Just then, the system prompt sounded at the perfect moment.

Resources +0.1

Awesome!!

The system prompt pulled Xu Yang out of his fantasy.

Just as before, killing one fish earned him 0.1 units of resources. There was no rule from novels where resources sharply decreased after leveling up.

Haha, web novels from my previous life weren't necessarily all true. Every world is bound by the pyramid rule? Energy decay, entropy reduction... Well, didn't I escape it?

Since he could still gain 0.1 units of resources for every fish he killed, Xu Yang decided to keep killing until all the fish in this lake went extinct!

Thoughtfully chewing up the black carp in his paws and swallowing it, Xu Yang suppressed his urge to challenge the giant crocodiles.

It was better to remain cautious for now.

There were no hospitals in the animal world. Although catching fish felt a little low-grade, there was no risk of injury. If he fought a giant crocodile and carelessly ended up wounded, that would be troublesome.

Broken bones, blood loss, infection, festering... a one-stop funeral service.

So, before he had obvious confidence in his chances, Xu Yang would not consider hunting giant crocodiles.

Over the following days, Xu Yang continued fishing in the shallows, catching fish at an extremely fast rate. Later, the fish supply could not keep up with his fishing speed; the shallows replenished their fish more slowly than he could catch them.

As night gradually fell, Xu Yang looked at the dozen or so freshwater fish of varying sizes piled on the shore, joy gleaming in his eyes. There were thirteen fish here, plus the one he had swallowed at the start. That meant he had caught fourteen fish in one afternoon, accumulating 1.4 units of resources!

Easy, pleasant, and worry-free. This is the right way to experience another world, isn't it?

Xu Yang carried the dead fish one by one to the edge of the weeds and hid them away. He was not hungry yet, so there was no need to eat them immediately.

It was the end of the rainy season, and nighttime temperatures were fairly low. The fish would not spoil by tomorrow morning. Their taste might be a little worse, but they would not upset his stomach. Having experienced two hunger crises already, Xu Yang did not dare waste food casually, even if catching these fish did not take much effort with his current strength.

"Woo woo~~~"

(See you tomorrow, breakfast.)

After greeting his breakfast, Xu Yang happily wagged his tail and left. Life was getting better and better.

The next day, after breakfast, Xu Yang came to the lakeside. He briefly washed his face with his paws, picked his teeth, and immediately threw himself into the great undertaking of fishing.

Night fell.

Today's harvest: Resources +1.9

Level up: Apprentice Second Order!

As usual, Xu Yang hid away his breakfast, then returned to his little nest with expectations for the future.

Day Three: Resources +2.4

Day Four: Resources +1.7

Level up: Apprentice Third Order!

After advancing to Apprentice Third Order, Xu Yang inexplicably felt that the crocodiles in the lake had become weaker. It seemed like he could slap them to death with one paw?

The more he thought about it, the more curious he became. Should he give it a try?
