Skills Are Just That Convenient

The girl drifted down from the sky on a sea breeze.

After discovering the situation next door, Wala Wala rushed off without taking the normal route.

She casually put on a skirt and jumped out of the third-floor window.

Using his skill, he glided like a surfer to Linsey's backyard.

"..."

Linsey watched the girl fall from the sky.

His gaze missed the sunlight and fell upon something he shouldn't have seen. He quickly lowered his head, using an angry voice to cover his embarrassment:

"Wala Wala! Can't you just use the front door?"

Wala Wala sat down next to Linsey, her gaze falling on the Fishing Rod in front of her. "Haha, isn't this more convenient?"

"Speaking of which Linsey, you were like this on the boat last time, and now you want to go fishing? Is this thing really that appealing?"

Linsey explained simply:

"Fishing is related to my skills."

"This is not just about fishing; it may also bring me some unexpected surprises."

"Skills? Surprise?" Wala Wala suddenly remembered her purpose. She jumped up, pointing at the surrounding houses and asking, "Linsey, and what's with this house? How did it appear overnight!"

Linsey returned a mysterious smile:

"It's also due to my skills."

"..."

Wala Wala's mouth gaped open as if it could fit an apple. "Skills... are they really such a versatile thing?"

The girl then noticed the sunflowers in the garden.

The other magical plants were not particularly eye-catching, but the mutated "Glorious Sunflower" was hard to look away from.

After walking Wala Wala, I immediately felt the exaggerated heat.

It felt as if the summer sun was being pulled directly in front of you.

The girl curiously stretched out her finger. "Why is this plant so hot—ouch!?"

Linsey turned her head and saw Wala Wala jumping up and down, clutching her fingers.

"..."

"That's a mutated plant that can absorb and gather the sun's power; it's very dangerous."

Wala Wala strolled around the garden for a while, then slowly came to Linsey's side. "Sigh, I've never seen this kind of plant in the Seven Seas Alliance."

"Aside from some hydroponic farms, the only way to find native plants here is to go to the seabed."

Snap—

At that moment, Linsey's Fishing Rod dipped down.

He didn't have time to talk to Wala Wala. He quickly lifted the fishing rod high, and a wooden box broke through the water and landed in front of the two of them.

This box is indeed different from the one I used when I was sea fishing.

Its surface texture is that of a water city, which clearly corresponds to the environment of the City of a Thousand Sails.

Linsey skillfully tore the box open.

Fishing in the city naturally requires money. The first thing that catches the eye in the box is 13 Silver Coin, in addition to a delicate silver one-handed sword.

[Weapon: Gorgeous One-Handed Sword]

[A beautifully designed and exquisitely crafted Sea Silver one-handed sword. Using this weapon will increase the wielder's attack speed; it can also be used as material to craft other items.]

[A weapon made from rather rare materials, at a moderate price.]

"The price is reasonable..."

Linsey casually placed it into the Workbench, and the corresponding synthesis formula appeared.

[Gorgeous One-Handed Sword + Any Enhancement Gem = Gem Swift Sword]

"Enhancement gems?"

Linsey raised an eyebrow slightly. By combining the [Ocean Element Crystal] and [Ocean Gem] in his hand, he could now create a water-attribute enhanced gem.

However, he didn't make it immediately because Linsey was still thinking about the synthesis route for [Sunlight Essence].

His intuition told him so.

If strengthened with the power of the sun, this sword would certainly possess even greater power.

"When I have time, I should go to the city and buy a gemstone."

After confirming the score of this shot.

Linsey nodded in satisfaction and cast her fishing rod again.

The entire process was witnessed by Wala Wala, who was standing nearby.

"..."

The girl remained silent.

She glanced at the water, then at the fishing rod in Linsey's hand, and then at the man in front of her:

"Linsey, what did you just do?"

Linsey answered candidly:

"Fishing, huh?"

Wala Wala confirms again:

"Really?"

Linsey turned her head and smiled, "What else could I be doing?"

"Wala Wala, my skills are rather special, please understand."

Wala Wala started shaking his head frantically. "No! No! No!"

"Combat, reconnaissance, camouflage, stealth... and this kind of thing, building a house overnight and fishing out all sorts of random things from the water."

"I've never seen an awakened being do something like this! How am I supposed to understand this?!"

Linsey thought for a few seconds:

"Um..."

As the saying goes, the universe is vast, full of wonders, and encompasses everything...

Wala Wala interrupted in a complicated tone, "Linsey, let me see that sword."

Linsey handed over the [Gorgeous One-Handed Sword]:

"Give."

Wala Wala gripped the one-handed sword and began to examine it closely, his eyes almost glued to the blade.

"The patterns on the sword are quite intricate, likely carved by a highly skilled craftsman; and the material... is Sea Silver, a very expensive material, so no one would throw it into the water."

Wala Wala was still analyzing the origin of the item in her hand.

On the other side, Linsey's Fishing Rod sank again.

"Ah?"

Linsey quickly lifted the rod.

As luck seemed to be on his side, he caught another box! When he tore open the box, besides the usual few coins, this time there was a small pendant inside.

Linsey picked it up and took a look.

This pendant is woven from several silver-white Thorn, the intricate structure forming twisted yet harmonious arcs, with a small Iris flower mark on the back.

It doesn't even have any equipment attributes; its value as an artwork is only listed in one line of text.

A beautiful piece of jewelry, ingeniously designed and crafted with exquisite workmanship.

"Could there be such ordinary items in the box?"

Linsey was still puzzled.

Wala Wala, standing nearby, immediately became excited.

The girl leaned closer for a look and immediately revealed the pendant's origin. "Linsey, this is a pendant designed by Avis!"

Linsey looked confused. "Who is Avis?"

Wala Wala leaned back, rubbing her forehead, and began to explain, "Avis is a very famous jewelry design workshop in the City of a Thousand Sails. If this were sold to fans, it would probably fetch a hundred or two gold coins without a problem!"

One or two hundred gold coins?

Linsey was immediately filled with awe for the pendant.

He carefully accepted it, and then began to think about a question.

Should I set up a small display case in the front of the shop to sell these rare ornaments? After all, there's no point in keeping them.

"Oh right! I was also planning to open a shop?"

Thinking of this, Linsey remembered her plans for today.

He put away his Fishing Rod and walked towards the front hall, glancing into his bag as he prepared to find suitable wood to make a shipping container.

Wala Wala caught up as well, the girl's face full of confusion:

"If you have this kind of 'fishing' skill, why do you need to open a shop to make money?"

Linsey explained with a smile:

"Shop Management is also part of my skills."

"..."

Wala Wala fell completely silent.
