Harvest Galore

In a large classroom, the teacher turned a blind eye to the students below, who had already been lulled to sleep.

After all, Douluo history was a truly unpopular subject. Few people listened, and he didn't even bother with the students who skipped class.

In this fantasy world, strength was what mattered most. As for the students' little antics, he simply chose not to see them and carried on with his lecture.

In the back row, two white-haired girls were fishing in fist-sized cups of water with fishing rods less than twenty centimeters long.

Any normal person would think the two of them were crazy. But the light-blue-haired girl beside them didn't think so, because she had just witnessed something utterly absurd.

The silver-haired, purple-eyed girl had fished metal and gemstones out of a cup that contained nothing but water.

They had never seen those metals or gemstones before. Anyone watching would think the cup was some kind of Storage Soul Tool.

But after the white-haired, blue-eyed girl examined it, she confirmed that it was just an ordinary cup.

Curious, she decided to try fishing too. About twenty seconds later, the hook in the cup suddenly twitched, and she immediately reeled in.

She pulled out a salmon about fifteen centimeters long. The two girls were shaken to their cores, as if they had just seen something that shattered their understanding of the world.

"It really is a fish... a live fish..."

The girl reached out and poked the salmon as it thrashed about, then turned to the blue-haired girl beside her.

"Qianqiu, look! It really is alive. This is so amazing!"

As soon as the white-haired, blue-eyed girl finished speaking, Chen Ming and Di Qiu'er stopped what they were doing in perfect unison.

They exchanged a glance, and only then did Chen Ming look at the two girls sitting beside Di Qiu'er.

Both girls wore the blue uniforms of first-year students. One had white hair, the other blue; the blue-haired girl also had a bow tied at the back of her head.

Chen Ming couldn't help thinking how ridiculously coincidental it was that they attended the same academy. Then again, it made sense. He'd been assigned to Tiantou Technology Academy, and the other girl was in much the same situation.

With Innate Full Soul Power and no one to rely on, it was only natural she'd been assigned here. Chen Ming glanced at her, then looked away. Forget it. I'd better develop on my own. Playing it safe is best.

Di Qiu'er looked away too. Just a little shark, that was all. Sure, she was the mixed-blood dragon heroine from this era, but with the great Auspicious Beast herself here, she was the protagonist!

As for Chen Ming, she'd let him be her underling. Di Qiu'er thought that once she grew up, she'd reward him by stepping on him.

Chen Ming looked like a serious, upright person, but he was actually a leg man. Di Qiu'er didn't expose him on the spot, though. If she did, Chen Ming might drag her down with him.

Oh, Little Ming. I'll hold this secret over you for the rest of your life! At the thought, Di Qiu'er's lips curled up, and her cheeks flushed.

But... did people really enjoy being stepped on? And licking toes and things like that... So perverted... Humans really got up to some wild stuff...

Various adult websites from Chen Ming's collection flashed through Di Qiu'er's mind. She couldn't help glancing down at her little feet, wrapped in black knee-high boots.

"Are you thinking something really rude?"

Chen Ming's voice came from beside her. Di Qiu'er turned and met his death glare, immediately bristling.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Di Qiu'er shook her head and denied it, feeling guilty. This was bad. If she said what was on her mind, he might actually drag her down with him.

Chen Ming didn't press her. He'd just suddenly felt a deep hostility. When he turned around, he saw Di Qiu'er blushing as if she were fantasizing about him.

Naturally, he suspected her. Well, well, you little Auspicious Beast. You look so innocent, but you're one of those people?

"Classmate, how did you do that?"

The white-haired girl beside Di Qiu'er leaned over with her fishing rod and asked. She even held up the salmon, still flopping and wriggling on the hook.

"Huh? This... My brother made it with his Martial Soul. It's a special tool, kind of like opening a mystery box. It has a limited number of uses."

Di Qiu'er immediately changed the subject. To put Chen Ming's suspicions to rest, she even obediently called him her brother.

"So you're siblings. The tool your brother made is pretty good. Would you sell it? It'd be great for passing the time."

The girl looked from Di Qiu'er to Chen Ming, surprised to learn they were siblings. Both were among the most striking-looking people she'd ever seen. But she thought the little gadget was a lot of fun. Opening mystery boxes! How unusual!

"Brother, should we sell them?"

Di Qiu'er turned to Chen Ming and asked. Without even looking up, he casually replied:

"You can have it. It's not worth much. I can make several more."

As he spoke, Chen Ming raised his hand and produced five fishing rods as if by magic, fanning them out like a folding fan before gathering them back together.

He wasn't worried that someone else might pull out something astonishing with the fishing rod. They hadn't joined the room, so they wouldn't benefit from the mod's bonuses.

In other words, an outsider using the fishing rod would only catch lily pads, leather boots, fish, pufferfish, or ordinary fishing rods.

And those ordinary fishing rods, since they'd been fished out in the Douluo World, would lose the special properties of fishing rods from My World.

"So you're just giving it to me? Thanks! You're such a nice guy."

Chen Ming didn't care at all about getting friend-zoned. The scene that followed went like this:

Di Qiu'er and the two girls beside her all held fishing rods and fished, while Chen Ming sat alone in a corner, feeling lonely.

The best fishing rod Chen Ming had made so far was of Epic quality. Besides having seven times the durability, it increased the chance of catching good items and had a chance to catch two or three items at once. Other than that, it didn't have any special features.

The class soon ended. Everyone had spent the whole period fishing, catching more than thirty fish, ten pufferfish, over thirty lily pads, and seven pairs of leather boots.

Di Qiu'er got whatever she wanted. If she wanted fish, she caught fish; if she wanted enchanted books, she caught enchanted books.

But the fishing rod Di Qiu'er had was only of Good quality, so it couldn't catch anything too impressive. If Chen Ming gave her a fishing rod at the Divine Artifact level, he figured she might even manage to fish up a divine artifact.

After class, Di Qiu'er had grown familiar with the two girls. The white-haired girl was named Lan Mengqin, and the blue-haired girl was Dong Qianqiu.

Di Qiu'er first pulled out a bucket of lava and burned the leather boots, lily pads, and fishing rods without special effects.

Then the three girls left the classroom together to go eat fish. Of course, Di Qiu'er brought along her personal chef, Chen Ming.

"Brother, I'm hungry. Make me something to eat!"

"Didn't you bring a furnace? Make it yourself."

"No! Food made in a furnace tastes awful! It has no flavor!"

As she spoke, Di Qiu'er grabbed Chen Ming and dragged him away. The three distinctive girls clustered around him, making the people nearby incredibly envious. They wished they could trade places with him.
