Moving to Eastsea City (Seeking Follow-up Reads!)

"Want to have a competition? Na'er wants to join too!"

Na'er excitedly pulled out a fishing rod, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the two of them.

Tang Heng sighed helplessly; he might as well go fishing with her. Since reaching the second ring, two new mods had been added, one of which was [Better Fishing]. He wondered how his luck would hold up this time.

If he could catch tuna, lobsters, or the like, he could prepare some high-tier dishes.

When he went out to explore in the future, eating these things every day would provide constant buffs, improving his overall strength in every aspect.

"But in terms of sustainability, potions and armor sets are still better."

"Do I really have to make a trip to the Nether? I wonder what the Nether realm will look like once MC is fully integrated into reality."

While Tang Heng was lost in thought, the siblings had already chosen their spots and cast their lines.

"Hehe, I've mastered the trick this time; I'm definitely going to catch something big!" Tang Wulin wore a confident smile. When his brother had sent him to the mines to dig a few days ago, he had specifically practiced his technique.

"Wow, so impressive! But besides technique, isn't luck more important when it comes to fishing?"

"Just like Brother Heng said, we're beginners, and we have a beginner's protection period!"

As she spoke, bubbles began to gurgle around Na'er's float. Recognizing the sign of a bite, she decisively reeled in her line.

An Australian lobster.

Tang Wulin, not to be outdone, reeled in his line and landed a cod.

An hour passed quickly, and the three siblings fished quietly by the lake.

However, there is a gap between people.

On her side, Na'er caught one big haul after another—lobsters, tuna, crabs, and even a thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Shark.

Na'er was kind-hearted; although the soul beasts here were dim-witted, she didn't want to commit needless slaughter, so she eventually released the Demon Soul Great White Shark.

"Brother, another tuna! I want to have salad later~"

Sitting on the other side, Tang Heng nodded awkwardly and silently checked his inventory: rotten flesh, a durability-one leather boot, an Efficiency I enchanted book...

He was catching all sorts of junk, so why couldn't he see a single fish?

"Hahaha, it's a Netherite Block!"

Tang Wulin happily pulled out a dark, blocky cube. It shimmered with the luster of ages, clearly no ordinary item.

"The material of this thing is truly amazing. It feels even better than the rare metals in Teacher Mang Tian's workshop."

With that, he walked over to check on Tang Heng.

"Brother, you didn't get skunked again, did you?"

"Mm."

"Brother, you didn't get skunked and fail to catch anything good again, right?"

"Mm."

"Brother, you... ouch, ouch! Don't hit me, I was wrong!" Tang Wulin covered his head and scrambled away, fleeing in a flash.

Tang Heng dropped his fishing rod and chased after him, giving him a good thrashing: "You brat, you dare show off in front of me? Today, your brother will show you why flowers are so red!"

Although Tang Wulin had improved a lot over the past year, in front of Tang Heng, he would always be the annoying little brother.

DD Decapitation!

Seeing this, Na'er's lips curled upward, and she let out a series of bell-like laughs.

Yet, hidden beneath that pretty smile was a trace of loneliness and confusion.

But as if remembering something, that loneliness quickly dissipated, and she picked up her fishing rod and chased after them.

"Brother Heng, I'll help you!"

In the end, the farce concluded with Tang Wulin exposing his belly to show submission.

Tang Heng took the fish he and Na'er had caught and prepared a sumptuous feast.

The three siblings climbed to the edge of the valley, huddled together under a cherry blossom tree, eating delicious food while admiring the distant sunset and the falling cherry blossoms above.

Na'er curled her legs, resting her chin on her small hands, and softly sang the nursery rhyme Brother Heng had taught her:

"Raindrops fall one by one, a rainbow hangs in the blue sky's home; is the sky crying tears?"

"The sun warms the clouds on the horizon, hard work makes sweat priceless; use confidence to walk to the ends of the earth..."

Listening to Na'er's singing, the innocent, childish voice filled Tang Heng's heart with warmth, making him feel as if he were melting.

He finally understood why villains would freeze up because of a song.

You should have thrown a Weakness Potion at me first and then given me a Golden Apple, instead of just throwing a Healing Potion at me!

Tang Heng muttered silently to himself, humming the melody along with Na'er's song.

If he could, he really didn't want Na'er to run away from home after regaining her memories; that would mean he could only see her again at Shrek Academy.

Believe in himself—he must have the power to change the future!

After spending a peaceful night in the valley, Tang Heng brought them back out.

Returning home, Tang Ziran was just finishing up packing the last of their luggage.

Seeing the three little ones return from outside, he hurriedly greeted them: "You're back. Mom has prepared lunch for you all."

"Your transfer paperwork has already been processed. Wulin and Heng'er, remember to go and say goodbye to Uncle Mang. Don't go empty-handed; bring some supplements or something. I'll cover the costs."

After Tang Ziran finished giving his instructions, his communicator suddenly rang, and he ran outside to take the call.

That's right, they were moving.

After a year of accumulation, the book Great Love Immortal Venerable that Tang Heng had written previously had become a hit.

Many Spirit Masters were moved by the persistence and efforts of the protagonist, Fang Yuan. A voice actor named Mu Cheng had dubbed the content of the articles online, which further accelerated the novel's popularity beyond its original niche.

Very quickly, not only did the royalties skyrocket, but various adaptation offers followed.

Of course, the most annoying part was the endless stream of reporters coming to their house, hoping to interview him.

He didn't know where this pack of paparazzi had gotten their information, but they had actually dug up the fact that he was the original author of the book, while Tang Ziran was merely a heartless tool used to provide the identification documents.

Tang Heng understood the unspeakable difficulties his parents faced, so he asked Mang Tian to help him contact the Blacksmith Association.

After he directly demonstrated a Thousand-Refinement with a single hammer and showcased unique metals from the MC plane, Mu Chen had immediately arranged a large villa for them in Eastsea City.

Even the recommendation letters for the primary academy were sorted out; all of this was completed in just half a day, a speed that was truly jaw-dropping.

During their call, Mu Chen's concern was practically overflowing, and his words clearly hinted at his intention to take him on as a disciple.

Was it just about new materials? He still had his Enchanting skills that he hadn't revealed yet.

Could a mere Saint Craftsman take him as a disciple? It wasn't that he didn't respect a Saint Craftsman, he just simply felt there was no need to lower himself to a subordinate position.

Relying on his unique Enchanting skills, there would definitely be a place for him in the Blacksmith Association in the future.

Tang Heng thought that once they arrived in Eastsea City, he would show his Enchanting to Mu Chen and give him a little taste of that MC shock.

However, truth be told, they really did need to move.

Tang Ziran and his wife had always hidden their identities, fearing persecution from the Spirit Pagoda, so the house they had purchased with their meager income was very small. Once Na'er arrived, there was even less space in the house, and for a long time, Na'er had been sleeping with her mother, Lang Yue.

Going to Eastsea City and receiving the protection of the Blacksmith Association, perhaps their situation would be much better in the future.

His mom and dad's future would definitely be better than it was in the original story.

"Children, come over and eat~"

"Okay~"

Na'er replied prettily, took her two brothers' hands, and they walked into the house together.
