Over the next period, Qin Lin kept his game character by the river, fishing. From time to time, prompts would sound:

[You have caught a wild black carp (Quality 1)]

[You have caught a wild grass carp (Quality 1)]

[You have caught a wild crucian carp (Quality 1)]

At first, Qin Lin controlled his game character and caught a fish almost every moment.

If this trend continued, he could probably catch hundreds of fish in an afternoon.

However, while the idea was good, reality was a bit harsh. As time went on, it took longer and longer to catch each fish.

When he had caught over 30 fish, a prompt appeared in the game:

[The river seems to be out of fish. Please wait for it to refresh!]

"???" Qin Lin complained.

It's just a game, why be so serious? Couldn't they let players fish indefinitely?

This really affected the gaming experience.

Seeing that he couldn't fish anymore, Qin Lin had his game character put away the fishing rod and bait. He then entered the small restroom in the shop again and, with a thought, entered the game.

In the storage room, a group of fish were already swimming in a pool. By the side of the pool, there was an information sign detailing the number of fish.

He had caught a total of 35 fish. Among them were 15 wild crucian carp, and 10 wild grass carp and wild black carp each.

Wild grass carp and wild black carp could be sold for 20 yuan per jin, as these two types of fish also had considerable nutritional value.

Moreover, the volume of these 10 wild grass carp and 10 wild black carp all exceeded 10 jin.

Wild grass carp and wild black carp were already relatively large fish, and it was common to see wild grass carp and wild black carp weighing over ten jin in the market.

However, if one could catch wild grass carp or wild black carp weighing over 20 or 30 jin, they would be very rare in modern society.

But when Qin Lin looked at the specific information of these fish, 4 of them surprised him.

[Wild Crucian Carp: Quality 2 (12 jin)]

[Wild Crucian Carp: Quality 2 (11 jin)]

[Wild Black Carp: Quality 2 (25 jin)]

[Notes: This is a pure wild black carp, a large catch. The game product is free of any pollution. Benefit qi and replenish deficiency +2, strengthen spleen and nourish stomach +2, nourish liver and brighten eyes +2, dispel dampness and harmonize middle +2, stop malaria +2, delicious +2, texture +2]

[Wild Grass Carp: Quality 2 (31 jin)]

[Notes: This is a pure wild grass carp, a large catch. The game product is free of any pollution. Weak body and poor stomach -2, liver yang hyperactivity -2, high blood pressure -2, headache and tinnitus -2, delicious +2, texture +2!]

Looking at these 4 large catches, Qin Lin couldn't help but be surprised.

It seemed that these three types of wild fish of Quality 2 could all be considered large catches, meaning crucian carp over 10 jin, black carp over 20 jin, and grass carp over 30 jin.

Such sizes could be called "fish king" in wild fishing competitions. The key was the attribute bonus from the game's Quality 2, making his caught wild fish far superior to even those fish kings.

It could be said that if these 4 fish were put up for sale, wealthy individuals with frail or sick family members would be willing to pay exorbitant prices.

Such catches were impossible to buy even with money, as even normal wild large catches were difficult to obtain.

Qin Lin then looked at the other 31 fish, which were all Quality 1.

These wild fish were different from normal fish, and it wasn't hard to tell because the difference was significant. Wild fish were slender and long, while farmed fish were short, plump, and round. Their colors were also different; wild fish were lighter, while farmed fish were darker. Their excrement also differed; wild fish feces had a lighter, fishy smell, while farmed fish had a stronger one.

However, since there weren't many of these wild fish, Qin Lin wasn't in a hurry to deal with them, especially the 4 large catches. He decided to keep them to nourish his Mom's body.

Evening.

After the strawberries and Okra ripened, Qin Lin went to the warehouse to move the items out of the game and sent them to RT-Mart again. Today, the strawberries brought in 18,505 yuan, and the Okra brought in 19,870 yuan. His account balance reached 356,787 yuan.

After delivering the goods, he returned to the shop to pick up Wangcai. Qin Lin entered the game again, retrieved the 12-jin wild crucian carp, threaded a rope through its gills, and brought it out of the game.

This one was chosen to take back and nourish his Mom's body.

Back home, Qin Lin said to Lin Fen, "Mom, look what I have here. It's for nourishing your body."

"Such a big crucian carp, and it's wild?" Lin Fen exclaimed as she took the 12-jin crucian carp. She was knowledgeable and knew that such a large wild crucian carp was very expensive. It took years to grow one jin, and it was hard to buy even with money.

Some people were lucky enough to catch one but were reluctant to eat it themselves, choosing instead to sell it for a profit.

This one, so large, was likely worth over 2000 yuan.

Of course, this was before she knew about the attribute bonuses.

Thinking of this, she chided, "Xiao Lin, why are you being so extravagant? I don't need to eat such expensive things."

"Mom, don't worry. I've been making a lot of money from wholesale recently, so we can afford this. I'll kill the fish. I also want to taste such a large wild crucian carp," Qin Lin said, carrying the 12-jin crucian carp into the kitchen.

Actually, hearing his Mom's scolding warmed his heart.

When he was studying, his parents' nagging felt annoying, but now that his father has passed away, he can only miss that kind of nagging. Now that he still has his Mom to nag him, he cherishes it even more.

"You!" Lin Fen could only follow him into the kitchen.

Killing fish was not difficult for Qin Lin, and he quickly finished preparing it.

However, the mother and son clearly couldn't finish a 12-jin fish, so they decided to cook only half of it and put the other half in the refrigerator.

As it happened, they still had tofu at home, and Lin Fen's specialty was crucian carp and tofu soup. The milky white broth made from ordinary wild crucian carp was already very delicious. This crucian carp from the game had +2 texture and +2 deliciousness, so the taste would be even better.

And the reality did not disappoint Qin Lin. After the crucian carp and tofu soup was ready, he took a small sip and his eyes lit up.

The taste and texture were truly amazing. Even the chefs in those five-star hotels and international hotels, with all their seasonings, couldn't compare.

"Mmm! This fish tastes so good today." Lin Fen was surprised after eating it. She had eaten quite a bit of crucian carp before, but never one that tasted this good. Had her cooking skills improved?

Moreover, after eating a bowl, a short while later, she inexplicably felt a faint warm current coursing through her blood vessels and meridians, making her feel much more comfortable.

She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she did feel more comfortable and relaxed.

Qin Lin also felt a faint warm current after eating a bowl of fish. The feeling was very real. If he hadn't known that this crucian carp had the attribute of +2 activate blood and unblock collaterals, he would have thought he had become a martial arts master and had internal energy in his body.

But to have such a quick effect was as astonishing as the Quality 2 Okra.

Qin Lin felt incredibly satisfied after eating one bowl of this crucian carp soup and immediately served himself another.

Lin Fen gave a piece of fish meat to Wangcai. After the dog ate it, it licked the fish bones clean.

"Oh, right, Xiao Lin, I have something to tell you," Lin Fen suddenly said to Qin Lin. "You know Qin Ren is getting engaged. Your father's illness also involved borrowing 50,000 yuan from his family, and now he's borrowing money for the betrothal gifts for his engagement."

"The other party knows our family's situation and hasn't come to demand the debt. Although our family doesn't have money to repay them now, we can't pretend not to know."

"You go to his house tonight and see if there's anything you can help with by running errands."

Qin Lin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look later."

Qin Ren was his childhood friend. They used to live in the same old house in the countryside. After studying photography in college, he and his friends partnered to open an advertising and planning studio in You City, taking on all sorts of jobs, from advertising planning to wedding planning.

When his father was ill, the other family didn't hesitate to lend them 50,000 yuan, which was the greatest kindness to their family.

Now that the other party is engaged, he would go over tonight and return the 50,000 yuan.

There were also other people they had borrowed money from. They should repay them as soon as possible when they had the ability.

What was borrowed was kindness, and what was returned should not be resentment.

Therefore, he also needed to find time to repay the money to the other creditors.
