A Night in the City

Having the status of an Awakened One has one advantage.

In this remote world, especially one still in the process of being developed.

By virtue of their status as awakened individuals, they can often easily acquire a vacant plot of land. While it's unlikely they'll be able to use it for any major operations, it's certainly sufficient to settle their families.

After leaving Lookout Point City.

Linsey continued to enjoy this privilege in Nine Bends City.

After finding the City Hall of Nine Bends City, he received a free plot of land based on the registration he made upon entering the city, and also inquired about the situation.

The organizers of the Seventh Stage are still recovering from their injuries.

The doctor who treated his injuries, Mr. Tang, lived in the north of the city. Although this doctor also ran a clinic, only his students usually came to see patients.

Seeking medical advice and treatment is not a simple matter.

By the time these trivial matters were finished, it was already night.

The land Linsey chose was located in a riverside area, and even as darkness fell, boats could still be seen sailing on the Merchant River.

Of the three rivers flowing through Nine Bends City, the Merchant River runs directly from Remote Yue City to Nine Bends City, making trade convenient and giving the area a more Civilization atmosphere.

Considering that there are already Awakened Ones active in the city, Linsey doesn't need to worry too much.

Under the cover of night.

He set up his shop directly on the land.

Snap—

In an instant, the shop reopened.

A perfectly preserved building emerged from the flat ground, as if it had always belonged there, blending seamlessly with its surroundings! "If I stay a few more days, my shop should be ready for an upgrade."

Linsey walked into the shop, shaking her head.

But the first thing he did was not to rest, but to take materials from the warehouse and bring his woodworking tools to the backyard.

It is located near the riverbank.

Linsey picked up her tools and quickly built a gazebo, thus permanently securing her fishing spot in her yard.

"Good!"

"It's time for some fun fishing again!"

Linsey cast her fishing line before beginning to inspect her belongings.

On his way to Nine Bends City, he had already collected the entire Fisherman Set. Including the Fisherman's Cloak and Fisherman's Top, all three fishing-related attributes had received a mid-level upgrade.

Furthermore, after completing the set, a special entry appears at the bottom.

The Inconspicuous Fisherman

[When fishing, minimize the presence of the person using the equipment.]

Linsey and Ailini tested this effect.

If others initially harbor goodwill or hostility towards Linsey, then this covert effect will not work.

But what if Linsey is an uninvolved third party?

For example, he was in the middle of a battlefield.

However, as long as he is fishing, both sides in the conflict will automatically ignore his existence, which can be considered a kind of subconscious interference and influence.

Besides that.

Unboxing also brought Linsey a lot of miscellaneous things.

Metal Ingot such as Iron Ingot and Copper Ingot, food items such as herbs and vegetables, and various other miscellaneous items have also piled up.

But as for items that could move a doctor to perform treatment on him...

"Frog Leg —enhance jumping and swimming abilities. This won't work."

"Sturdy Umbrella —it opens when you jump in the air, reducing fall speed and fall damage. Would anyone want this thing?"

"Reed Pipe —held in the mouth, it allows you to breathe in shallower water. Uh..."

"Why is it all just a jumble of random things?"

Linsey felt somewhat confused.

In his memory, he was always quite happy when he caught these things.

Looking back now, all I see are some miscellaneous little props that are hardly necessary.

That's not scientific! And to use these things as payment for medical consultations, even Linsey herself wouldn't believe it if she heard it.

Splash—

Just then, Linsey's fishing hook twitched slightly.

He realized a fish had taken the bait and quickly lifted the rod.

As a result, someone threw a straw sandal into the river, and he caught it with his hook.

"..."

"Whose child throws things into the river like that? Don't they know how to protect the environment?"

Linsey jumped up and cursed, then continued fishing.

Half an hour later, in addition to the usual catches, another box was finally hooked.

Linsey opened it and took a look.

Twelve Rough Silver Coin and thirty-seven Rough Copper Coin were wrapped in a rag and stuffed inside.

"Etc!"

"Is it possible to catch money while fishing?"

Linsey's first reaction was that the Golden Rule had come into play again.

But fishing out the wooden box is undoubtedly the work of Fishing Master. Could it be that the two skills overlapped?

Linsey recalled her previous fishing experiences.

He never caught anything like money while fishing in the wild river.

This is his first time fishing in the city.

Based on her previous gaming experience, a reasonable hypothesis emerged in Linsey's mind.

"So there's a connection between what you can catch and where you fish?"

"And coins can only be fished out in cities with relatively developed commercial activities?"

Linsey quickly checked her composition list.

Although it wasn't successfully synthesized, the effect cannot be viewed.

However, names like "Magma Fishing Rod" or "Flower Fishing Rod" are highly suspicious.

"High-Grade Silk Thread!"

A strong desire welled up from the bottom of Linsey's heart.

The crafting of fishing rods differs from the crafting of special items or weapons.

Aside from the main materials for Fishing Rod rods, not many rare materials are needed. Linsey is only missing one High-Grade Silk Thread to synthesize a variety of fishing rods.

"Tomorrow, I'll go check out the Commercial Street..."

"No! We still need to see a doctor first; we can't get the priorities mixed up."

Linsey reminded himself of his main objective. But then, his Fishing Rod jerked, and he quickly pulled it up, only to find another box in his hand.

Linsey beamed with joy:

"Hehe, that's great, I'm lucky!"

Inside the wooden box were a rag doll and a tubular object.

The doll was clearly labeled as a delicate toy, available for sale to merchants. As for the tubular object...

"This is... a thermometer?"

[Props/Materials: Thermometer]

[It can display the current temperature in real time; or be inserted into the body to check body temperature; it can also be used as a material to make other props.]

[A basic thermometer, of low value.]

Linsey glanced at the composition list.

[1 Wind Vane + 1 Hygrometer + 1 thermometer = Weather Forecasting Instrument]

"..."

"We're only one Wind Vane away from creating a synthetic Weather Forecasting Instrument!"

Linsey mustered his energy and continued fishing.

The silent night passed by during the diligent fishing activities.

After a whole night had passed.

Linsey put away her Fishing Rod with satisfaction.

Unfortunately, the urban environment wasn't exactly a special fishing ground, and he still couldn't catch many useful items.

Contentment brings happiness.

Instead of pinning our hopes on good luck, let's think of ways to improve what we already have.

Linsey was organizing her belongings.

He quickly came up with an idea, so he closed the shop and strolled alone toward the North City Medical Center.
