After several rounds of practice, Xu Lang had figured out every use of the Immortal Spirit Fishing Rod.
The longer he kept the hook in, the more free attribute points he could reel out.
He also found that repeatedly fishing the same target made openings harder and harder to find, until there were almost none.
That was pretty realistic.
Even a fish with a bad memory wouldn't fall for the same trick forever.
Smaller fish also yielded fewer free attribute points, so Xu Lang came up with a rule of thumb.
Keep the line in for big fish; give it a quick tug for small ones and move on!
By now, he had stopped trying to milk the Ghost of Gluttony and was frantically casting at the lower- and mid-level Strange Tales.
["Immortal Hook" effect triggered. You gained 1 free attribute point!] ["Immortal Hook" effect triggered. You gained 2 free attribute points!] ["Immortal Hook" effect triggered. You gained 3 free attribute points!]
After several hundred casts, Xu Lang reeled in his line, satisfied.
It wasn't that he had caught every Strange Tale. The Immortal Spirit Fishing Rod was nearly out of durability.
"If I want the best return, big fish are the way to go!"
Xu Lang had realized that after a few dozen casts. There simply weren't any big fish for him to catch right now, and he didn't want to leave the Mad King Building.
Fishing for small fry was fine.
He could always spend Nightmare Coins to upgrade the rod!
Once upgraded, the Immortal Spirit Fishing Rod's durability would be restored to full!
But upgrading it cost a considerable number of Nightmare Coins. At level thirty, this Legendary item was among the best equipment he owned.
He wasn't going to upgrade it just yet. He
