• Su Mo inspected the merchant’s fishing equipment and found that even basic rods and bait were expensive, with higher-level rods likely to cost far more.

Su Mo discovered that upgrading Spirit Fish Lake’s fishing equipment could turn a costly, inefficient fishing trip into a lucrative operation, and he began an audacious fishing haul. Meanwhile, contestants in the upper half confronted Ma Er Dalton over the Mist Isle Alliance’s delayed progress, and Old Daoist considered joining the growing march toward the lower half.
