Ch. 137 - Witch’s Set
Extreme Winter Sea.
The white mist was much thinner, visibility stretched over ten metres even without lighting a fire.
A ship slowly approached, radiating a soft pinkish-white glow.
Wherever the light touched, the white mist melted away like snow under the blazing sun. But this wasn’t firelight, it came from a special lantern mounted at the ship’s bow.
It was a fleshy tendril, about as thick as an arm, curving forward and drooping down. At the tip hung a glowing, bulbous lantern shaped like a liquid droplet, resembling the rubber tip of a dropper.
A man was crouched on deck, fishing. He wore a one-piece fleece outfit.
“It’s here!”
With a shout, he pulled up his rod. A large deep-sea fish flopped onto the deck.
“Finally, after twenty straight hours of fishing!”
The man let out a long sigh of relief.
For an ordinary person, it would be nearly impossible to fish for twenty hours straight, especially in temperatures that low. Not to mention the abysmal catch rate of the Extreme Winter Sea, getting skunked was the norm. Catching a big fish like this was near impossible.
Only the Fisherman was different. His ship had a special ability: as long as he kept fishing, he would eventually catch something.
Combined with Captain He Qi’s expert skills and bottomless patience, he’d never go hungry, even in brutal waters. In fact, he’d eaten so much fish that he was sick of it, forced to change up the cooking methods just to stomach another bite.
He finished off the fish with a harpoon and started considering how to prepare it.
“Bones for soup... skin grilled... meat, let’s try it raw first…”
Just as he was thinking, a private message came in from his friend Yang Yi.
“Brother He, do you have any gear enhancement stones?”
Back aboard the Nightmare Star, Yang Yi had gotten up early.
First, he headed to the bow to lift the anchor, disengage the Twilight Veil, and adjust course and speed. After that, he tried to get in touch with the seasoned angler He Qi.
“Which kind do you want?” came the reply.
Yang Yi’s eyes lit up. Looked like this guy really had some, maybe even more than one.
“Any mid-grade ones?” Yang Yi asked hopefully.
“I had some before, but used them already,” He Qi replied, sending an item description and photo and casually including the nearly two-metre fish beside him, as if it just happened to be in frame.
