Sea Fishing

Linsey has two options.

Go fishing on the deck, or stick your fishing rod out of the cabin window and fish indoors.

Linsey chose the latter, as it was less attention-grabbing.

Of course, he only tried it for a few minutes before problems began to arise.

Fishing from a window affects movement, obstructs vision, and makes it more inconvenient to drag back prey.

After two difficult attempts to reel in the bait, Linsey didn't give up and decisively succumbed to reality.

"Who came up with this weird idea of indoor fishing? It's definitely not very realistic."

"Let's try going outside!"

Linsey packed her things and left the cabin.

I plan to find a secluded corner on the deck and begin my fishing adventure.

Before Linsey had even circled the deck once, he spotted a one-armed figure sitting by the ship's railing.

Linsey's roommate, Ala Song, lives here.

The one-armed painter set up his easel on the deck, his face showing a thoughtful expression, but he never picked up a brush.

Ala Song noticed Linsey's gaze and turned around:

"Linsey, you're up here too?"

Linsey waved her Fishing Rod:

"There's nothing to do in the cabin all the time, so I'm looking for something to do to pass the time."

After saying hello, Linsey continued to walk around to the stern of the ship.

The wood on the side of the boat gradually thins out.

The wheelhouse at the stern is usually where the captain lives.

However, there is a small platform extending to the lower side, which usually no one would risk going down.

"This is a great spot!"

Linsey's face lit up with joy.

He flipped over the ship's railing and sat down on it, the hull behind him completely concealing his body.

"There's no better place to fish!"

Linsey tidied up his Equipment Slot, changed into his Fisherman Set, and then cast his Fishing Rod to begin his first sea fishing trip.

Splash—

The fishing line left a white trail across the sea.

Linsey's equipment is now far superior to what it used to be, so fishing is naturally a piece of cake for him.

A short while later, he felt a heavy weight in his hand, and the Fishing Rod bent downwards! "It's hooked!"

Linsey's expression brightened.

The [Flower Fishing Rod] he used was a genuine high-level item, and it was usually difficult to damage.

In addition, there is his own exaggerated strength.

So Linsey skipped all the fishing techniques and just used all her strength to pull the thing up from the water.

A dark green substance was hanging on the fishing hook, which Linsey held in her hand.

"Dried... seaweed?"

"Ah?"

"Even with all this gear, I can still lift this thing!"

Splash! Linsey forcefully slammed the seaweed into the sea, leaned back, and continued casting.

Fortunately, the second cast did not disappoint him.

This time, when she lifted the rod, she caught a plump, blue-white fish, which Linsey knocked unconscious on the spot with a hammer.

"Orlando Ocean Fish - can be made into food, increases cold resistance for three hours."

Linsey was very satisfied and continued casting.

Although he occasionally catches some strange and odd items, he also discovers all the new catches in the water.

"The Glowing Blue Jellyfish can be made into food, allowing the consumer's body to emit light and illuminate the environment."

"Colorful Lobster - a mildly toxic but incredibly sweet ingredient."

"Glowing Red Jellyfish, same as above."

"The same goes for the Glowing Green Jellyfish."

"Why are there so many jellyfish? Wait... if we collect five different colored jellyfish, we can make an Underwater Illuminator?!"

Linsey flipped through the compilation list.

The Underwater Illuminator is a type of Long-lasting Illuminator and can be crafted into Multifunctional Survival Gear.

"Then let's continue!"

Bang--

Linsey lifted his cue again.

But this time, a completely different sound came from the sea.

It was as if what he had caught was not a living fish, but some kind of heavy, inanimate object.

"The shipment has been completed!"

Linsey grinned, looking as happy as a child.

Hearing the sound, he knew what he had caught without even looking.

Sure enough, a wooden box was fished up from the sea.

Moreover, unlike previous finds, this wooden box has a beautiful wave pattern on its surface and a light blue color throughout.

Is this considered Ocean Chest?

Linsey immediately opened it.

Inside lay a cup, two paintbrushes, and a blue stone.

"Antique cups from an ancient shipwreck, jade paintbrushes, Ocean Element Crystal... Elemental Crystal!"

Linsey's body jolted.

He removed the Water Crest from his body and immediately began to synthesize it.

[Heral Code/Material: Ocean Current Crest]

[After equipping, it increases the user's Charm Resistance; activates an active effect that greatly enhances the wearer's underwater mobility, granting excellent maneuverability and underwater breathing ability for one hour; it can also be used as a material to craft other items.]

[A high-level Water Element emblem, a special item, with considerable value.]

"..."

"Doesn't this overlap with the Catfish Headgear?"

Linsey looked through the equipment.

Both have similar functions, but their differences are obvious.

The advantage of the Catfish Headgear is that it allows you to move freely in the water without time restrictions.

[Ocean Current Crest] Passively increases resistance.

After activation, the enhanced underwater mobility is even more remarkable.

Each of these two pieces of equipment has its own suitable occasions for playing a role.

"..."

"You've already made so much in just half a morning?"

Linsey remarked.

Fishing at sea and catching Ocean Chest is indeed difficult, but the catch is undeniably plentiful.

His buttocks are now permanently attached to this spot, and he can't move an inch.

From morning till sunset, Linsey stayed at the stern of the boat, fishing all day long!

Besides collecting all Five-Colored Jellyfish and combining them to create an [Underwater Illuminator],

He also acquired two very distinctive pieces of equipment.

[Sailfish Spear]] [Swordfish Sword]

These two weapons are essentially two motionless sailfish and swordfish.

It's a pretty good weapon in terms of stats, but it's nowhere near as good as the [Red Horn Mistletoe], a treasure that can easily break through Sixth Stage of skill protection.

Unfortunately, these two weapons are from a set of only two pieces.

Holding it at the same time will activate the set effect.

[Knight of Fish: Increases weapon attack speed and grants basic deterrence against fish.]

Linsey fantasized for a moment.

The scene depicts a character defeating an enemy while carrying two fish in his hand.

If you put a Catfish Headgear on top of that...

"This is really... hehehe..."

Linsey let out an indescribable, strange laugh.

He packed his bags while keeping an eye on the Fishing Rod in his hand.

At this moment, the afterglow of the sun shines from afar, creating a shimmering effect.

Linsey looked enlightened.

It was already late, yet he had become so engrossed in this place that he had wasted an entire day here!

"Hmm... one last shot, that's all for today..."

Crash!!

Before he could finish speaking, the Fishing Rod in his hand seemed to respond to his thoughts and suddenly sank downwards.

Linsey exerted force with his hands, and the object underwater was immediately pulled up by him.

"You're lucky."

On the last cast, they caught a Ocean Chest.

But when Linsey opened it, what she found inside was neither ocean crystals nor antiques that had sunk to the bottom of the water.

There was only one lonely blue gemstone lying inside.
